Bookie (2023) s02e02 Episode Script

1
Really? Ray decked him?
One punch.
- I held the baby.
- Aw.
Does it bother you that you're
perpetuating a stereotype?
What?
You're like the little
runty plantation owner,
and Ray's like your Mandingo warrior.
That's no No!
Yeah.
In modern terms, you're
that guy owns the Cowboys.
Jerry Jones?
Yeah, him.
And all those pasty old white dudes.
Sandra, could you please tell
your mother to stop talking?
I watched the NFL Draft.
Tell me that's not like an auction
block in Natchez, Mississippi.
I said, please.
Well, are there any
Black owners in the NFL?
No.
And they're working on it.
And just for the record, Ray is
a full partner in my business.
"In my business." Listen to yourself.
Who's taking me to school?
- I'll take you.
- Really? Thanks.
Go start the car.
Cool.
- Leave it in park.
- Is that a good idea?
Relax. When I was his
age, I was stealing cars.
I would've guessed horses.
Here. Your Sacramento Kings covered.
- I like the Sixers tonight.
- They're minus four.
- What's the money line?
- Don't know.
- Let's call it one-twenty?
- Then that's the bet.
- Okay.
- You need to write that down?
I got it.
- [ENGINE REVVING]
- Uh-oh!
This is our life now?
What? She's wonderful. Anthony
loves her. She helps me around here.
When the day comes I gotta
break her leg, it's on you.
You don't break legs. You hold the baby.
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
- Ahoy!
- Hey, Walt.
Welcome aboard the good ship Carmelita.
It's beautiful.
Fun story.
Carmelita was the mistress
of the client that gave
me this boat in trade.
What's the fun part?
His wife found out about her.
Beat him to death with a three wood.
I would've used a four
iron, but that's golf.
- Martini?
- Thank you.
- I like the hat.
- It's not just sartorial.
Gotta protect the dome
from the dreaded melanoma.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Well, you pull it off.
Yeah, I do.
Come, sit.
Enchant me.
Appreciate you taking the time.
No, no. When a member of the
mighty Colavito crime family calls,
I answer. So, hit me.
The Shark Tank is open.
Are you familiar with magic mushrooms?
I have been known to shave
a truffle on my cacio pepe,
but I'm guessing that's
not where you're going.
No, Walt. I'm talking about
a very specific mushroom
that can cause a transcendent
spiritual experience
if administered properly,
which I am trained to do as a
board-certified psychedelic counselor.
That's a crock of shit, and I'm in.
[CHUCKLES]
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Where's Lorraine?
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
- [HECTOR] Hang on.
I'm gonna AirDrop my dentist's
name and number to you.
- Why?
- So you have access to my dental records.
- What's going on, Hector?
- Okay, here it is.
In my zest to earn back
what I lost, you guys,
I took on a soccer enthusiast,
who is not a good person,
who lives in moral twilight.
- A drug dealer.
- Drugs seem to be his bread and butter,
but I'm sure he's diversified.
Gun smuggling, people
smuggling, smuggling, smuggling.
- Jesus. Which way's the action?
- He owes us. Big.
- How big?
- Seventy-eight grande.
[EXHALES] That's a lot of
cheese to leave in the sandwich.
You just gotta go do a pickup.
Yeah.
- Good luck.
- Go get him.
[HECTOR] Wait!
Would you guys consider coming with me?
- Hell, no.
- No.
Please! I can't do this alone.
- Where?
- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]
- Down near the stadium.
- So-Fi?
- Dodger.
- [GROANS]
So, are we talking retail storefronts?
Brick and mortar?
Or do we deliver? You
know, like DoorDash therapy.
I would go with "we deliver."
Familiar surroundings are comforting
for the psychedelic traveler.
"Psychedelic traveler."
That's nice.
- Yeah, that'll get the kids in the van.
- [CELL PHONE RINGING]
All right.
Well, give me the shrooms
and the phony-baloney therapy,
and show me what I'm selling.
- Right now?
- Right now.
Oh, and feel free to
molest me while I'm out.
Are we still in America?
[DANNY] Are we still on Earth?
We'd have a lot more
credibility in your Cadillac.
We've been through this. The
Lac don't go east of Bronson.
Keep driving, bitch.
Some kind of checkpoint.
- Hola.
- Where you going?
We're going to 441 Maceo Avenue.
- Why?
- We have business with El Condor.
Señor El Condor.
What kinda business?
Well, jump in anytime, guys.
No, no. You're doing good.
He owes us money.
- He owes you?
- We're bookmakers.
We book bets on a variety
of sporting events.
Football, basketball,
in this case, soccer.
It's a lot of fun, you know,
provided you bet responsibly.
End of the street, then on the right.
[HECTOR] Gracias.
All right. So far, so good.
"So far, so good"? Are you high?
A little bit, yeah.
God! It tastes like dog cum, I think.
Okay, so before we start,
we should discuss your intentions
for your psychedelic journey.
My intentions?
Yeah, like what you hope to
gain from this experience.
You mean like some kind of deep
insight into what makes Walt Dinty tick.
Uh Okay. Um, all right.
My intention is to figure
out why, for my entire life,
I've had such animosity
toward my mother.
Good. Thank you.
Yeah, I haven't spoken to
the woman in over ten years.
That's a long time.
Yeah, I've been to shrinks, psychics,
a witch in Topanga. No answers.
Let's see if we can't find one tonight.
Well, I'm dubious.
Ugh, it smells like a cat's ass.
You think.
Actually, that's one I know.
[WINCING] Mmm.
Did you see Training Day?
Good movie.
Didn't end well.
No.
Lead on, Denzel.
What's up, homie?
Hey, fellas, how you doing?
- Sorry.
- Beg your pardon. Just Here.
I'll move.
- Look.
- Daddy's like members only.
You have my attention.
- Have to pat you down.
- Knock yourself out.
Flight 27 to Guadalajara is
now boarding at gate nine.
What are you doing?
Trying to lighten the mood.
I get it. I hate me too.
I got a pair of those.
Sorry.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
- [SPEAKS SPANISH] El Condor?
- Yes, please.
Young man?
[BOTH SPEAKING SPANISH]
You're kidding me.
This is not a choice. I
have a cranky prostate.
I begged you to pee
before we got in the car.
I didn't have to go then.
Be right out.
Fuck!
- [SPEAKING SPANISH] Ocupado.
- She's not gonna hurt you. Go!
Fuck.
Okay.
Come on. Where are you?
Come on.
Come out.
So, what grade you in?
Read the room, Hector.
- [URINATING]
- [GUN FIRING]
Shit!
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
[GUNFIRE CONTINUES]
Time to go!
- Walt?
- Mmm-hmm?
Where are you?
I'm gestating.
Sorry, say again?
I'm gestating. I'm in my mother's womb.
Okay. Tell me about it.
It's warm.
It's very salty.
I'm floating.
Can you hear anything?
[CHUCKLES] Yeah.
What?
Carson. He's doing Carnac.
Ed loves it.
Well, is there any fear of
your mother at this moment?
No, I love my mommy.
Good. Stay with the love.
Mommy, Mommy. Mommy
- Wait.
- What's happening?
- There's a guest.
- Rickles?
No, no, my mom has a guest.
What?
What?
Ow!
What are you doing?
Is somebody hitting her?
No, somebody's fucking her! I'm
getting dicked right in the eyeball.
Hey Ow! Ow!
God damn it! Hey, I'm in here!
Ray? Hector? Little gangster?
Hello
You lost?
Is it that obvious?
- This way.
- Right behind you.
[SPEAKS SPANISH]
Now what?
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
What is it?
Well, that's what
we're here to find out.
No. No, I'm not here to get high.
I'm a bookie.
I'm here to collect on a soccer bet.
And if you guys want any action,
I'll be happy to waive the vig.
- Hey! [SPEAKS SPANISH]
- All right. Hang on.
- Fentanyl?
- No. No Fentanyl. Meth.
Well, let's see.
Snort.
Come on! I
- [SPEAKS SPANISH]
- Oh! Wow.
Fentanyl?
Hail Mary, full of grace,
good Lord be with thee.
Right to my brain!
- [LORRAINE] Walt, can you hear me?
- Mmm-hmm.
What's happening? Are
you still getting fucked?
No. They're done. He came.
Did your mother come too?
I don't know. Who cares?
God, they were so young.
And what does that tell you?
They didn't mean any harm.
They were just being teenagers.
She probably didn't even
know she was pregnant.
Perhaps this is an
opportunity for you to see
that your anger towards your mother
is misplaced, and forgiveness is
- Hang on.
- What?
- I'm not alone.
- What do you mean?
There's another fetus in here.
- What?
- [GASPS]
I have a twin brother.
That's wonderful. Tell me more.
Nah. No, I can't.
- Why not?
- I just can't.
Walt, you have to tell me.
I'm eating him! Okay?
I'm eating my twin brother!
Eating him?
Not with a knife and fork!
I'm robbing him of all
his essential nutrients.
Walt, no.
I'm not even born, and I'm a murderer.
[SIGHS]
I can't find my guys!
No.
[LORRAINE] Walt?
Walt, talk to me.
[GASPS] It's time.
What do you mean, "time"? What time?
The contractions are
coming, 30 seconds apart.
Birth? You're being born?
[GRUNTS] Wait.
Wait.
I'm aimed the wrong way. I'm breech!
All right. Oh, my God.
Okay.
[GRUNTS] Okay.
Okay. [GRUNTING]
Damn it, another contraction!
Come on. Okay.
Okay.
- All right.
- Okay.
Okay. Yeah, I can see something now.
Oh, good.
What is that?
It's labia. I see labia!
- Go to the labia, Walt.
- Yeah.
- Go to the labia.
- Okay.
"Go to the labia."
I'm out. I can't breathe.
Okay. All right, come on.
[CRYING]
We're gonna make a fortune.
Listen to me.
You don't have to live like
this. You can choose another path.
You can get an
education, get a good job,
start a business. Hell, start a family.
Maybe with this lovely woman right here.
All it takes is making a
decision, which you could do,
and you could make it at any time.
Think and take action.
Think and take action.
You're welcome.
Rayfield, where you at?
El Condor's office.
Cool, cool. Where might that be?
Up the stairs, down
the hall on the left.
- [DANNY] Shit! Be there in a jiff!
- You okay?
Walking on sunshine. Yourself?
I've been better.
Sit tight. Jim Danny to the
rescue! Jim Danny to the rescue!
That's my partner.
Go on.
You say I bet Colo-Colo, but I
say I did not make such a bet.
So, who are we to believe, huh?
What you say, or what I say?
Play it.
[RECORDING PLAYING]
Hold it up a little bit, please.
To the right, just a little bit.
No, a little bit more, please. Yeah.
Whoa!
[SPEAKS SPANISH] You have AppleCare.
- [DANNY] Are people being shot?
- No, come on in.
It's quite the sausage party.
El Condor, Danny. Danny, El Condor.
Pleasure to make your acquaintance.
- Did you get the money?
- No.
- Will he give you the money?
- We think not.
Okay. Mr. Condor, on behalf
of Colavito Sports Inc.,
I regret to inform you that we will
no longer be accepting your wagers.
- Have a nice day. Vámonos.
- [SPEAKS SPANISH]
will no longer be accepting my wagers?
If you don't pay when you
lose, we gotta cut you loose.
Find another pendejo
to take your action.
Hey, you want me to get the snake?
Please. I pissed on your snake.
You peed on Esmerelda?
And she liked it.
We won! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- Hello.
- [BOTH] Hi.
The hell are you guys doing here?
Dying.
- The hell are you doing here?
- I'm on Condor's baseball team.
- We beat Snapchat?
- Twelve to three.
[EXCLAIMS IN SPANISH]
And they only got the three
'cause we let Chuey pitch.
That fucking Chuey. You know,
if he wasn't my nephew
- You know this guy?
- He's my second cousin.
- Mmm.
- You're kidding me.
My last name's Estevez. Do the math.
So what is all this about?
- Well, your cousin
- Second, by marriage.
owes us a lot of money.
Is that true?
- [GRUNTS]
- Dude, we talked about this.
I just don't like to lose.
But that's why you're the jefe.
I am the jefe. I'm the jefe here.
You're goddamn right you are. And
what's the jefe move right here?
There you go. Don't you feel better?
- [WHINES]
- It's family, right?
- So, you take my wagers now?
- Sure.
Did I just save your lives?
- Probably.
- Yeah.
- So maybe you could find your way to
- Yeah, we're square.
- Thank you.
- All right.
- Shall we?
- Yeah.
Hang on, hang on. I
wanna say hi to the bird.
Hello, bird.
How you feeling? You still wired?
I feel better.
I may not shit for a week, but
I suggest a McFlurry and
a Greek salad. Kaboom!
[DANNY] So walk me through this.
- You're in some kind of softball league?
- Baseball.
- Baseball, sorry.
- Look,
I don't drink, I don't
drug, I don't fuck.
- This is the last hard thing in my life.
- Got it.
So you got a league where one
team is sponsored by a drug dealer
and one team is sponsored by Snapchat?
Also, the Bloods got a team, the
Crips got a team, Goop's got a team.
Goop?
They suck, but they bring
healthy snacks and moisturizers,
and everybody loves them.
I've used their moisturizer.
Shit fucking works.
You know, you guys should
consider sponsoring a team.
Might be good for your business.
You do understand we like
to stay under the radar?
Yeah, a team jersey that says "Bookies"
is probably not gonna accomplish that.
The name of the Crips team is Crips.
Yeah, we'll think about it.
[WOMAN] You think he's looking for me?
- [CHARLIE] Hey, Steve, Andy.
- Charlie.
- Good to see you.
- Good to see you.
- They got a team?
- No.
No, they raided my house a few years
ago, and, you know, we stayed in touch.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Mommy.
[SOBS] I love you so much.
