Weeds s03e12 Episode Script

The Dark Time

Previously on Weeds - Conrad, this is Celia.
I fucked a black man.
Conrad.
Just a little something to say thank you for all your help.
Welcome to your new home, Ms Hodes.
We'll have to keep it in the corporation's name for six months.
- I thought Dean was out of your life.
- He was till the handitard went and drove off of a cliff.
The surgery was successful, but he'll need several more.
There's no one else but you.
Oh, God.
- I have to sell the Majestic house.
- You can't sell the Majestic house.
If you try to sell it, the jig's up.
You'll go to jail for accepting a bribe.
- How you doing, baby? - I'm fuckin' pregnant again.
Some Indian kid I mercy-fucked for U-Turn.
- God bless the new Majestic! - I quit.
You make this easy for me, we can do it on the table.
- We need these votes.
- I'm thinking a golf membership.
Your membership's been revoked.
Sullivan Groff and this whole fucking place can kiss my black ass.
I'm an elected official! You were elected by a city that no longer exists.
This council is not finished looking into your questionable investment in Aguatecture.
Aguatecture.
You're soaking in it.
- What goes on here? - Fountains.
- Celia came to Aguatecture.
- What does she know? She knows you fucked her boyfriend and she knows you're dealing again and she'll be in touch.
# Little boxes all the same # And they all look just the same # All the same # And they all look just the same # You should be very afraid of me slut.
I watched you have sex with the best man I've ever known.
- You watched? - Yeah.
I've never been able to come vaginally.
How long did you watch? I want in.
I want in on your action you mean slut.
Cunt, whore bitch.
Coming down with Tourette's, Celia? I know everything you're doing and I will tell the police.
Wow! That would not be advisable.
Not taking my threat seriously would not be advisable.
Playing by the rules has gotten me nowhere but fucked.
So I am done.
And you will start paying for the many, many sins against me, in cash, right now.
OK.
In my line of work I realise that I'm susceptible to blackmail, shakedowns, whatever you wanna call it.
Up to now, I've been accommodating the extortionists in my life, but today - call it bad timing, call it karma - I've reached a tipping point, a critical mass, if you will, and I'm done.
No more.
So, Celia if you go to the police if you continue to threaten me or my family in any way, I will kill you.
I will kill you.
I will end your life.
Mom! Shane! Say hello to Mrs Hodes.
You are a fucking sociopath.
Thanks for stopping by.
Were you really going to kill her? She threatened Mommy, and we can't have that, so I had to scare her.
This is kind of how it's gonna be from now on, huh? Yeah I think it is.
What are we doing here? He promised me golf, promised me power then he bent me over and he fucked me up the ass, like an innocent altar boy alone in the vestry after services, lured by promises of juice and cookies.
Some vivid imagery there, Doug.
With his stupid hair.
What grown man has blond hair? All right, time to go.
Come with me.
We'll get Dean, sell some wacky.
No.
It's time for Doug to rise from the ashes.
I must reclaim what's rightfully mine, Andy, and I must fuck his shit up.
As God is my witness, I will get him.
Well, I see you're in the disturbing throes of revenge-scheming and you're not letting go, so I'm going to leave you to it.
Catch you later, man.
Victory will be mine, Andy.
Dumb-name will know my wrath.
The wrath of Doug.
It's comin'.
So now I come back once, twice a year, get a pastrami on rye down at Langer's, see the kids, see the grandkids.
Then I can't wait to get back to my place in Maui.
I got a girlfriend, name is Hepualaha'ole.
Roasts whole pigs in her backyard.
She's crazy.
Anyway, so, I get a call from the fire department, said they gotta do an inspection.
Said they left a bunch of cards, I said, "Come by tomorrow morning.
" - Tomorrow? - Yeah, gotta be tomorrow.
I'm going back to Hawaii tomorrow night and I promised them I would personally let them in.
I got a lotta buildings down here, Ms James.
I got to stay in good with the LAFD, huh? Mm.
Tomorrow? You got some illegals back there? Hey, everybody does, - it's the way business is done.
- Yeah.
Don't worry.
We'll come by in the morning, we'll be out of your hair by first bell.
No, it's not that.
It's just, er, we, erm You know, we work with polymers and resins You box 'em, you get 'em outta here, you pull 'em back in as soon as they're gone.
It's the cost of doing business, darling.
And what is this, huh, once a year? - It's not so bad.
- Mm.

Clinique, just hear me out.
Ain't nothing to say, faggot, except, "Send money.
" Maybe we should get married.
Uh! Uh! Where the fuck is it? I have no idea what you're talking about.
What kind of man tears a cross off the roof of a church? A house of God? An impressive one, I'm guessing.
That's a big fucking cross.
It's not just a cross, it's an $80,000 piece of art, a Nathan Arnault original, registered.
So if anyone were to try to sell it, say, it's traceable.
Hey, I went to bed early tonight.
Care to join me? Ohhh you're cute when you're mad.
You're fucking with the wrong man.
- I promise I'll be gentle.
- Your wife dumped you.
You're living out of your goddamn office pulling lame fraternity pranks.
You're pathetic, Wilson.
I'll send you a bill for that bong, Sully.
That was hand-blown glass.
Everyone's taxes are gonna smell like bong water now.
Fuck.
Hi.
Come on in.
Oh, ho ho ho! Whoa! This is Ripper.
Sit.
Hey, Ripper.
Uh please don't eat my remaining toes.
Well - This the guy? - Andy, meet Chess.
Hey, what's up? All righty.
Ahh look.
He's got a card.
Hmm.
Ahh OK.
Ouch.
OK.
It's cool.
I'm cool, unarmed, pro-gun control.
What's going on? Hey, Chess, would you like some, er or is this disapproval that'll morph into ass-kicking? Please tell me you wanna smoke out.
Ripper, come here.
Oh Ah-ha-ha.
Yeah, you got a good grip there? - Where do you get it? - Where do I get it? Er, downtown, I buy downtown, corner of Pico and Alvarado, erm, from different guys, whoever's on the corner.
A guy named Pablo, a guy named Ortiz.
There's Ramón, too.
Ramón's got a scar across his forehead Knife wound, self-inflected.
So the story goes.
Pablo plays mandolin, same song over and over.
- Maybe I can save you a trip.
- Really? How's that? Denise, hold Ripper.
Come here.
Sit.
Denise, new friend of mine, what the fuck is goin' on? Don't worry.
It's all cool.
Hey, look at that.
So, you wanna buy from me? You know, I'm good right now, but if I'm ever running low I'll tell you what, why don't you let Ms Botwin know it's available if she's interested? I mean, after all, we're local.
- It's the right thing to do.
- Right, yeah.
Makes perfect sense.
I'll tell the boss.
OK.
- You can go now.
- But, er Denise'll call you.
She thinks you're funny.
Oh.
OK, then.
- This was fun.
- Ain't done yet.
Gotta get rid of that generator, figure out a way to tap the power lines, surround the house with rosemary, lavender, ward off the smell.
We got a whole fucking load of work ahead of us.
Can't we just move them back after the fire marshal comes? Not for at least two weeks.
We lost 20 in the move.
This here's like a halfway house for traumatised plants.
Gotta let 'em relax awhile.
You can use my crew if you want.
Might have to.
Don't know how the family gonna take to commuting.
Heylia gets carsick, Vaneeta's got road rage.
Mm, there goes our road trip to Las Vegas.
What about you? You OK? You need a place to sleep? Sleep? I'm a black man living on a golf course.
I'm about to spark up the barbecue, make mojitos.
How's Silas doing? Boy's gifted.
Got a future if he chooses to go this way.
Yeah.
Do you think I'm a bad person? I don't think you're a bad person.
No? No.
Thanks.
# Swing - What about now? - # Like a chariot # At the trumpet call # When we're all unsaved # Swing, like a wrecking ball # Like the heart of God, what a mystery # Filled with the wedding feast # For the snakes and beasts # With our angel teeth # Swing, come and carry us # Come and marry us # To the blushing circus king # Now he's one of us # Plays the tambourine # Breaks the bread for us and sings # Will you wait for us? Will you stay for us? # Will you grace us everything - You're fucking evil.
- # You're a wrecking ball # With a heart of gold # We will wait for it to swing # Like a chariot # Swinging low for us # Come and carry us away # Fire, come and carry us # Make us shine or make us rust # Tell us that you care for us # Need to hear a word for us # Let you body stand with us # And let our ribs return to dust # Chariot, you swing for us, # We think that you can carry all of us #
