The Mosquito Coast (2021) s02e09 Episode Script

1
Hey, where's my daughter? You're
supposed to be picking mushrooms.
- Look, it was supposed to just be a date.
- Well, where is she?
- She wanted to see my town and
- Where is she now?
I don't know. She
We just talked and Yeah, I
What? You never brought her home?
- She stole my truck, okay?
- Ridley's truck.
- I was lucky to catch her. She
- Where?
- To Playa. To the bus stop.
- She doesn't have any money.
I gave her everything
I had, okay? Look, I
I love her, okay? I
want the best for her.
You know, she said you told
her to go ahead and leave.
And not come back.
I see you, you little shit!
Get your ass over here!
She'll be back.
But you don't know that.
And you told her to leave.
She's a survivor.
- Maybe we don't tell your mother just yet.
- Why?
Well, sometimes telling a half-truth
is better than hurting someone.
Might seem paradoxical, but I'm
trying to keep us together. Understand?
I've got kitchen duty.
There's this.
Or there's this one.
I haven't posted since we got here.
My followers probably think I'm dead.
No.
Oh, sorry. You look American.
- Hola.
- Hola.
Si.
Ah, no. Gracias.
Hotel Marqués Miramar?
Okay.
Gracias.
Whoo!
So, here's my mission and the target.
It's a new 1,000-megawatt plant
that came online last year,
and they tried to hide the bloody
thing 'cause it's coal-fired.
And they don't want people complaining
about ash in their drinking water.
Yeah, or the liver and kidney
damage, or the variety of cancers.
What's this transmission
tower on the right?
Feeds into a new development.
- And the left?
- Goes to the regional Ministry of Mines
and the Interior.
Wow, this is big.
What kind of explosives and
detonator? Timer or remote?
Remote. Controlled. No
one gets hurt this time.
The investors flee, and the politicians
find an easier way
to line their pockets.
How do you deliver the payload?
- We got a truck.
- And back out, after?
Oh, don't worry. We have a solid plan.
Where do you want me?
At home reading a book.
No, I'm serious. I want part of this.
It sets a template
for the Amazon, Borneo,
everywhere the world's on fire.
When?
Still TBD.
Attach to the chassis?
No. In the back.
And driven up to the turbines.
Yeah.
You know, um
I could use you as a spotter.
We could, um, go for a scout.
Hey, Mom.
- What's going on in there?
- Silvia's on a tear.
There was a another raid
today, and they took the pigs.
Listen, I know how
much you love it here.
But what if I was to tell you that
I'm working on something to
get us back to the States?
With Dad too?
We haven't thought that far, but
You're really doing this?
I like Dad's plan better.
And what's his plan?
I don't know. It's It's just
a place, but it's not the States.
Seen your sister?
I haven't seen her for a few hours.
Any idea where she is?
I think maybe, um, on the boat
with Adolfo. Can I put these down?
Sure.
Hi. Yeah, excuse me.
Um, I'm basically bringing
this bike back because
it's making this super
sketchy clicking noise like
I don't know, there's something
seriously wrong with it. It's deadly.
So I'm just wondering, who do I speak to
about making sure my dad
doesn't get charged for that?
- Concierge, miss.
- Oh.
Thanks.
May I offer you a
chamomile-hibiscus water?
- Sure.
- Please close your eyes.
- What's your name?
- Uh, Dina.
Dina, take a deep breath in,
as we offer you a cleansing
of body and spirit.
May your heart be cleansed, that
you might hear its messages clearly.
May your throat be cleansed,
that you might speak truthfully.
May your body here find rest at
the Miramar Hotel Spa and Resort.
He's hitting an electrical plant.
Really? Well, it's a nice target.
You know, that target per
se doesn't do me any good
unless I've got an exact time.
I need both or the deal's off.
Yeah, and I told you I need
to see my deal in writing.
I'm out here risking my fucking life.
I told you I'm gonna
be there. I'm a spotter.
So get me the agreement
signed by you, your superiors,
fucking Donald Duck if
he has a say in this.
Listen, Margot, I know
this hasn't been easy.
Everything feels easy when
you're doing it to save your kids.
I need my paperwork, and
then I'll get you the time.
- What are you doing here, Allie?
- Hear me out.
Why the fuck are you using my computer?
I have a solution to your
Guillermo problem. Look.
A bunch of packages and
a hole with shit in it?
Those are Guillermo's packages.
That's Guillermo's shit.
Skimming from the cartels.
Not enough to be detected without
examination, but enough to sell.
So this is how he's making his money?
Fuck.
I have right now what I need
to bring him down. Permanently.
I'm gonna go see him today because
he has something that I want.
And if I get it, it can
solve your problems too.
He'll fucking kill you.
And me. And Casa Roja.
I'm sure he would like that.
But I'm putting in a dead
man's switch to Sandpiper.
I've got the fucker. I've got him.
So you want to be landlord now, huh?
No interest in that. Not even
sure my place is here anymore.
What's in it for you, Allie?
Safe place for us. My
family. No landlords.
Be quick.
Where's Fox?
I haven't seen him today.
You know where to find him.
Tell me where he is.
Don't touch me! I'm telling
you I haven't seen him.
Let go of me!
Do you want me to take you to his house?
Take us. Let's go.
You don't have to grab me!
Walk!
Walk!
Bitch, you're stalling.
Tell me! Where is Fox?
Where is he?
Speak up! Where's Fox?
Where's Fox?
Speak up!
- Charlie.
- Silvia.
Charlie, come. Charlie, no.
- Stop!
- Charlie.
Hey!
No!
Silvia.
Hey!
Charlie!
Charlie!
Welcome, Mr. and Mrs.
Rita. These are your keys.
Thank you. Hold this.
Hi, excuse me, sorry, um, you
only gave us, uh, three keys.
Me and my sisters really don't
wanna have to share a key. You know?
Oh, yes, of course.
- There you are.
- Thanks.
Crap, I lost them. What's
the room number again?
- Great. Thanks.
- Welcome.
What the fuck do you think you're doing?
You were given 72 hours
to get Sandpiper up and
running. How's that going?
Well, turns out I only needed 24.
So, did something I haven't
done in a very long time.
Took a mental health day.
Hiked into the jungle. Found
a little cabin in your woods.
I have no idea what the
fuck you're talking about!
Might wanna ask Roy
Orbison here to leave.
No, stay.
Huh. Up to you.
I found your skimming operation.
Excuse me?
Oh, I think you know.
He transports shipments for
cartels. Skims off the top.
- That's not very honest, is it?
- He's lying.
I'm trying to save Casa Roja
from being demolished, that's all.
Tumbadores. Right? You've heard
that word. You work for the cartels.
Tumbadores. Means thief.
Traitor.
Bill, you speak a little Spanish,
right? Does that sound about right?
You're a dead man.
Really? I'm not so sure
it's me. I have proof.
Photos, documents. All in the cloud.
If I don't confirm I'm
okay every few hours,
your operation automatically goes wide.
To people you don't want to see it.
Oh, is that right?
I don't give a shit.
What the fuck do you want?
A place.
It's on the Eastern coast of
the state, Nocera Peninsula.
Nice little chunk of land.
My family has many nice
little chunks of land.
Well, this one's 20 miles
wide, about 30 miles long.
I want it.
Transfer the deed to
me. Clean transaction.
Or what?
Or Zetas will pay you a visit.
And I'm guessing they'll come to collect
everything you took, with interest.
Get the fuck out of here.
Where did you get that shirt?
Um, this?
Yes, it's so stupid. It's
the dumbest. I need it.
I I got it, uh
- Annie, come look at this girl's shirt.
- What is it?
We need that.
Holy shit, that shirt
sucks. It's amazing!
Thanks.
I like your boots btdubs. Are
you here with your parents?
Uh, yeah. They're, um, kayaking.
Well, hi. I'm Annie. This is
Claire. We're from Connecticut.
Where are you from?
- Um, from the States. From the city. Yeah.
- Oh, cool.
- Are you guys sisters?
- No, everyone thinks that.
We're BFFs. I'm actually Claire's
plus-one on her family vacay.
- You know, usually, I hate long flights
- Mm-hmm.
but when she said her
dad has the company jet,
I was like, "Um, yes, please."
So is, like, customs the same?
What?
On a private jet, is the like
Like the security and stuff the same?
I mean, there's a guy who looks
through your bags and stuff
but it's not as bad
as a regular airport.
- Those body scanners though.
- You know whoever's behind there
- is a total pervert.
- Total perv.
This has actually been really
fun. We should hang out later.
- What's your number?
- Oh, I lost my phone.
Fucking kill me. I would
perish. I'm so sorry.
What's your handle?
- Your socials. Your gram. Tiktok.
- Oh.
Snap. Here, just put
it in. It'll be easier.
- My dad says we have a table.
- Oh, good.
- I would hate not having a phone.
- Remember when I lost mine for a week?
Thank you.
OMFG. Claire, look it. It's hilarious.
I knew it. You are so
a crazy meme account.
I should've known from the shirt.
You have like 10k followers.
You're basically a celebrity.
You should follow us.
I have a great idea. We
should get drunk later.
The drinking age is like
eight here. We'll have a blast.
Well, we have to go,
but we'll talk later?
- Adios.
- Bye.
- So quesadillas or margaritas?
- She's cool.
I know.
This is good. It's a perfect sight line.
I usually work with my own team.
But this time, I'm using Guillermo's.
I need someone I can fully trust.
You'll hide here with a walkie.
The attack's tomorrow. One o'clock.
What?
Do you still want in?
Yes.
- Where's my agreement?
- You got a time for me?
Yes, but you aren't getting shit
without my immunity
spelled out in writing.
I'm with ya. All
right, check your inbox.
We good?
It's tomorrow. One o'clock.
Tomorrow? Jesus Christ, Margot,
what are you talking about tomorrow?
No way, I need a
longer runway than that.
It's in motion. You have
to take him tomorrow.
There's explosives involved.
He told me no one gets
hurt, but I'm not convinced.
Margot, listen. I don't just
send in guns like that, all right?
We've gotta coordinate with
the locals, you know that.
You're the one who
wanted this aboveboard.
You do what you have to do. But
don't fuck me when we're this close.
You've got your vehicle for
access at the entry gate?
- Yep.
- Any security in sight?
Nothing beyond the
main gates. It's clean.
Nothing's changed on your side, no
last-minute changes to the schedule?
- Nope.
- And no changes to the target?
Nope. All on track.
You have enough guys?
I'm good once inside.
I could do with two more
on the outside to keep tabs,
feed information about
who's coming and going.
Nothing less than the survival of
my ancestral land is at stake here.
Aggressive action against the
building alone does nothing.
It's an insurance job, and
then they're on their merry way.
You saw what happened in Virid.
Threatening their families and children.
They don't give a shit.
This is the only way.
Do me a favor.
Don't tell Isela until I'm gone.
I don't think she'll agree.
We can't stop the bleeding.
We're hanging by a wire.
Hey. I spoke to Guillermo. It's done.
Great.
Where's Charlie?
I haven't seen him.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
It's tomorrow.
Richard gets taken into custody.
And we're granted immunity.
Aren't you gonna ask me how I feel?
Well, I feel like
shit. Thanks for asking.
Turning in someone I believe in.
Betraying a cause I care deeply
about. So, yeah, I feel like shit.
So what's this plan you've
been talking to Charlie about?
You care to share?
Hey.
Are we over?
Ah, look who's finally exercising!
Memo
You only come on Tuesdays.
Who let you in?
Have you come to apologize?
Ahhh, no.
Oh.
And who's your little
friend? The little goofball?
He's the best in the world.
Is he here to protect you from me?
Do I want one too?
I guess funny runs in the family, huh?
You'll need to get someone.
With all your development,
comes greater power and more enemies.
Does this mean you're finally
accepting the inevitable?
Hooray for the good guys.
I came for my check today
since it seems you
won't be here tomorrow
or the weekend.
No.
No, we won't be here.
And just so you know,
after the tantrum you still insist
you didn't do at our Virid conference,
all our investors will be
safely present by video hook-up.
Your theatrics exhaust us all.
Give me my check.
Hmm.
I suppose I could cut
your check a day early.
Very nice of you.
Guillermo, you're impossible.
We've got the Governor. We've
got deputies on our side.
Nice to meet you.
Buenas tardes. May I get you something?
- Yeah, can I see a menu?
- Certainly.
Please, take your time.
Can I just get a hamburger?
- Room number?
- 208.
208. Right away.
- Oh, and, um, a Coke?
- Coke.
And some French fries?
- French fries.
- Uh, and a salad.
- A salad with dressing and some
- Salad.
Some chicken fingers.
- And a sandwich.
- Sandwich. You have any guests coming?
Uh, yeah. Maybe. Not sure. They
They said they'd maybe come later.
Okay. Of course.
Oh, and something sweet. Like
ice cream or something. That's it.
Of course. Thank you.
Oh, my God. They'll eat
anything. They're like rats.
Oh, let's see if he
likes Hot dog. Hot dog.
- Get it.
- Dan, Stop.
Maybe it likes potato chips. Too slow.
That's a good hot dog.
- Honey, why?
- Sorry, bird. You dum-dum.
You good?
Yeah.
You know where to meet me.
No casualties.
Can I come up?
Sure.
Started reading your mom's books again?
Got a copy of this for
your mother years ago.
She was in a sad place.
Here.
I underlined this part for her. Here.
"Nothing that I wrote yesterday
is true. Only this remains:
Reality interests me in
as much as it is plastic,
and I care infinitely more for
what may be than for what has been."
Keep going.
"I lean with a fearful attraction
over the depths of each creature's soul
and weep for all that lies atrophied
under the heavy lid of
custom and morality."
Did Silvia die?
Yes.
Why did she have to die?
That's not an easy question to answer.
How are we gonna find Dina?
She's gone too.
I thought you knew everything.
I feel like I'm losing both my families.
You, Mom, Dina. And Casa Roja.
- Buenos dias.
- Buenos dias.
I'm in position.
Is there any activity at the gate?
I s
Margot, am I clear?
Margot!
Yes, it's clear.
Richard Beaumont!
Richard Beaumont.
Margot. I only told one person
that something was happening today.
You.
You heartless bitch.
The world is dying. You
understood that once.
And only harsh measures can save us.
The clock is ticking.
We got her.
I'm at the target.
Everything's set as planned.
I squared away one last detail.
Sounds good.
