Snowfall (2017) s06e06 Episode Script

1
- What happened?
- BUCKLEY: Kane got out.
Place was a bloodbath.
Bodies on top of bodies.
So how the fuck did they miss?
It was Franklin. Pulled Kane out.
(YELLING) Ah, shit!
You know, Frankie, you know
what shit I want to take care of?
Your fucking uncle and
that bitch wife of his.
I know you know something
beyond that fucking club.
- What?
- Stable man says Louie
rides a couple times a week.
And Kane wants her alive.
Ain't nothing normal about
this goddamn business.
These young niggas ain't
got no respect, no code, no honor.
They ain't us.
Everything all right?
JEROME: I'm out.
Where you going?
- JEROME: Out.
- What?
Jerome, where are you going?!
If I had to leave,
would you come with me?
Are you using Russian spies as an excuse
to get me to move in with you, Teddy?
TEDDY: Can you get
surveillance up on the residence
without telling Langley too much?
HAVEMEYER: You want to get in there?
TEDDY: Let me figure it out.
FRANKLIN: Took a little trip today.
Figured I'd treat your
old man to some dinner.
What do you think it's
gonna do to your future,
you kill a CIA officer's father, huh?
FRANKLIN: Wrong answer.
- (GASPING)
- (CASSANDRA SCREAMS)
- TEDDY: What did you just do?
- FRANKLIN: Transfer my fucking money.
Or next I'm gonna go after your woman.
Then your kid Paul.
I'll bleed them.
Just like I did your daddy.
(PHONE RINGING)
(CLEARS THROAT)
(RINGING CONTINUES)
Yeah?
Hello?
TEDDY: Julia, it's Teddy.
What?
What is it?
There has been a viable
threat against your life
and you need to relocate immediately.
What? What kind of threat?
TEDDY: I'll tell you
everything once you're settled.
But right now you need to get moving.
There's a police escort and
a few officers on their way
Teddy, stop. Tell me what happened.
My father
was murdered.
And the person responsible said
that you and Paul were next.
So you have to pack whatever
you need and get moving, okay?
We'll talk more once you're secure.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, fine.
Okay.
Number was traced to a
farmhouse in Tangonoxie,
about 30 miles outside of the city.
It's been burned to the ground.
They're starting to search the site now.
I don't want any other law
enforcement agencies involved.
We handle this ourselves,
we just got to put eyes on Franklin,
on his penthouse,
his mother's house, his office.
He's not gonna be dumb
enough to show his face again,
but we got to be ready if he does.
Look, I know you and
your father weren't close.
But I can tell you from experience,
losing a parent you had a
complicated relationship with
can be just as difficult
It wasn't "complicated,"
it was nonexistent.
But this is very important.
So, no, I'm not walking away.
Not for a day, not for an hour.
Okay. Okay.
I can't make you do anything, okay?
We have problems, can't
afford mistakes. I get it.
You say you're good, fine.
But you better make damn sure.
Because it's not just
your ass on the line here.
Yeah.
♪
I'm gonna settle up, check on my mom's.
Back in a minute.
What are you doing?
Thank you.
I'm not getting back on that plane.
And neither are you.
VERONIQUE: Let's just
get back to L.A. and we can
figure out what happens next, okay?
What happens next?
Full-scale government scorched earth.
This is over, my love.
Time for self-preservation.
Did you see what I just saw?
Your man is coming undone.
And the only way you have a future
is if you walk away from him right now.
We'll play it smart.
You say you're scared,
you want to get his baby out of
harm's way, you will be waiting
when he gets the money.
And then we vanish,
like we have a hundred times before.
I have passports for the both of us.
We will raise this baby, you and me.
It's how it has to be.
Since when?
Since when do you have passports for us?
Since the moment you told me
what you were involved in here.
Did you think for a second
that I'd agree to any of
this without an exit plan?
This is what you wanted from the start.
Why you came here, why
you agreed to all
You called me, and I came.
Because you are my
daughter and I love you.
Unlike that man in there,
who will sell you out in a second if
FRANKLIN: What's this?
CASSANDRA: Oh, well, we've been talking
and in light of what's just transpired,
we think it might be best if,
uh, Veronique and I
didn't go back to L.A.
Oh, yeah?
CASSANDRA: We all want
what's best for her,
for your baby.
So, we'll take a car to
Phoenix, fly from there,
make sure she's safe
then you can come meet us
when you've sorted this all out.
Is that what you want, V?
No.
No, it isn't.
I won't go back to that life.
Rootless and always running.
And I won't condemn
my child to it, Mother.
But you'll condemn your
child to death or prison?
- Life with a monster?
- He's not a monster.
Not to me.
To me, he's a man who hasn't lied,
or raised a hand,
or left me alone in a prison cell.
He's the first person
to ever put me first.
He's doing everything in his
power to deliver the life I want,
no matter how he has to do it.
And until that changes, Mother,
I'm staying.
Okay?
Come on, babe.
(JET ENGINE WHIRRING)
Sir.
(JET ENGINE WHIRRING)
But you know Tony doesn't
give a fuck about the KGB.
He's threatening to shut it all
down and send me to prison.
And what about Franklin?
He's in Kansas City.
Kansas City? What is he doing there?
Killing Teddy's father.
(SHAKY BREATHS)
You still think it's a good idea
to make the deal with him?
(SIGHS)
Pos a ver que pedo.
Searching blind ain't smart.
Yeah, well, I can't sit around
doing nothing no more.
And y'all two, y'all
been waiting for weeks.
Where the fuck was he going?
He mostly been holed up here.
Or out doing business.

(CAR DOOR ALARM CHIMING)
(ENGINE SHUTS OFF)
Jerome fucking Saint!
Whoops.
Guess you got to put that on our tab.
(SCOFFS) You know what?
I'm not doing this with you.
You can't even barely stand up.
We'll talk tomorrow.
Uh, talk tomorrow
ain't gonna work for me.
I'll be gone, going to Jamaica.
- Getting on a plane.
- What?
Yeah. I'm gonna pack my goddamn bags,
go to the airport,
get a ticket for goddamn Kingston.
Sit back, real easy. Free.
(LAUGHING): Okay, Jerome. Fine.
- Think I'm bullshitting?
- No, I think you're looking for a fight.
And I ain't biting.
I ain't looking for no goddamn fight.
I'm telling you I'm goddamn done.
Done selling crack.
I'm done getting shot at.
I'm done trying to
kill my goddamn family.
Okay! Fine!
What the fuck am I
supposed to do with that?!
Maybe you're supposed to acknowledge
this shit is fucking insanity.
The money ain't worth this shit, Lou.
No matter how fucking
wrong this shit is,
ain't nothing gonna make it right.
Or maybe
maybe you stop this
shit 'cause you love me.
Hmm?
I know I stayed in this
shit for you, right?
Because if I left,
your ass would be dead.
I know it ain't your fault.
You're just fucked up.
Yeah.
You don't got no way to be happy.
And it's my goddamn fault
for trying to fix you.
But I'm goddamn done.
I It ain't my problem no more.
I'm free of this shit.
You don't mean this.
It's the realest thing I
ever fucking said to you.
(ENGINE SHUTS OFF)
You made the right choice.
Come on.
Teddy will retaliate.
So we got to stay out of
sight until this is over.
The house, the shelter
can't go to either one.
He can come at you, too, Lee.
If Teddy want to come
at us in the projects,
I say good luck to that
cracker motherfucker.
So this was all part
of your original plan?
Waiting around wasn't working.
Now he wants us just
as bad as we want him.
And he'll be rattled,
vulnerable.
I just need to draw
that motherfucker out.
(SIGHS)
Listen, um, I'm exhausted.
Okay? So, uh, Mama
why don't you follow me and V
back to the stash house? Huh?
CISSY: I'll be right here.
Leon's right, Teddy ain't
coming to the projects.
And I'm not laying on
some cot in a flophouse,
or hiding in a hotel
room under a fake name.
Mama, you're not listening
Hey, look, we'll-we'll keep
her safe. It-It's all good.
All right.
Let me know if you need anything.
(DOOR OPENS)
(INDISTINCT VOICES ON RADIO)
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
TEDDY: Ben, are you in there?
If you don't want your
neighbors to hear this,
you should open the door.
Could come in.
I was just heading home.
That's not really true. I-I was
heading to my girlfriend's house.
And it occurred to me that
this might be the last opportunity
we have to speak before it's too late.
Are you making coffee?
You want me to make you a coffee?
TEDDY: There's so many
questions I wanted to ask.
The things you must have
done to end up in this place.
All the lives you must've lived.
You're wondering what the play is here.
There isn't one.
I know how this is supposed to go.
I know how this is supposed to end,
but I thought maybe we could sit down,
and talk.
See if there wasn't another way.
Before you try to explode
my world and I kill you for it.
(COFFEE MAKER BUBBLING)
I'm open to suggestions
if you have them.
TEDDY: Go to your people, you
tell them you got it wrong.
I'm not doing what you think I am.
(CHUCKLES)
And if I did?
You think I'm allowed to determine
what I can and cannot pursue?
I just think a dead end's a dead end.
They're not here.
You are.
(SCOFFS)
What if I believe what you're doing
is a crime that should be exposed?
Then I'd say there's
people in this world
who think the way that you
live your life is a crime.
But maybe that's none of
their fucking business.
There's just so few
people on this planet
who understand what it is we do.
What it costs.
And how hard it is to keep going.
When you know that, inevitably,
you're gonna end up all alone.
Your whole life sacrificed
at the altar of secrecy.
And then you wonder if it was worth it.
Or, worse, you wonder why you
did it all in the first place.
What am I actually trying to live up to?
And I know how crazy this sounds,
but ever since I learned you were here,
I actually felt less alone.
Holy shit.
I can destroy you just as easily
as I could've killed you tonight.
And you know that.
Walk away. Take the gift I'm giving you.
Take whoever's size ten
shoes those are in your closet
and go live the life you want to live.
If you're still in this
apartment tomorrow night,
I'll assume you still want my help.
You head out
slip our surveillance
next time I see you, I'll kill you.
How you feeling?
Been better.
I know you said you're done.
But I got some things to
say, if you want to hear.
Sure.
I'm sorry
that our life has become this.
I knew that Franklin wouldn't be happy
if I went over his head.
But I could never have known
that Teddy would do that.
And that that would bring us here.
With you and Franklin on
opposite sides of the gun, I
I been asking myself, why?
Why I couldn't just be
happy with where we were.
Because we had money, right?
Power. Respect. (SIGHS)
But no.
You did.
'Cause I've been running
this thing, right?
And you see that. But our customers,
all they see is you.
Every deal we make, they talking to you.
They look at me long enough to wink,
or lick they lips
They ain't dealing with me.
Is that enough to die over, though?
Self-fucking-worth?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think I think maybe it is.
JEROME: Lou, I've done
everything for you.
Everything.
I know you have, Jerome.
So when you're saying that
you can't do that here,
that you done
I hear you.
But I just need more time.
Because I made promises.
You mean like Teddy?
I'm not scared of Teddy.
Maybe I am.
I just want to get our
money out of Panama.
And then I don't know. I don't know.
That's what I'm saying.
I just need some time.
(PAGER BEEPING)
(SIGHS) Skully.
I'm supposed to be doing a drop.
I'll do the motherfucking drop.
You go on and get your mind right.
Business.
Lou, I can't stay.
I won't.
♪
Hey. Whoa.
Sorry.
(TEDDY PANTING)
I'm sorry.
I think I was having a bad dream.
(SIGHS)
I know you don't want to leave, but
after this, I don't
think you can stay here.
So I can help you find a place,
if you'd rather not be with me.
For how long?
Till Franklin's dead.
So that's what happens now?
You kill Franklin?
And then what?
I'm not good with having my
fate in someone else's hands.
If you and I are going
to continue this
I need to know how you see
things playing out from here.
It depends.
PARISSA: On what?
On what you want.
I keep looking around my life,
and I got no one.
The one bright spot in all of it is you.
What do you want?
You want to leave?
Do you want to take the money and we'll
figure out how to use it? That's fine.
I'm done giving up things for them.
What do you want?
PARISSA: I'm going to be honest.
That might be the sexiest thing
a man has ever said to
me in my entire life.
(VEHICLE APPROACHING)
(BRAKES SQUEAKING)
GUSTAVO: You're a
difficult man to reach.
Yeah, I've been busy.
So I heard.
Look, I'm guessing Teddy's not
too happy with me right now.
He'd probably give you anything
you want to help set me up, right?
Problems I got, you're the
only one who can solve them.
What you need to get this done, Oso?
You said ten million.
- I did say that, yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
And I can get that money to you,
- but you got to wait till after I have him.
- No.
It can't wait. Need it now.
In that case, I can give you a million.
Look, you know what
Teddy did to me, okay?
Why I'm after him in
the first fucking place.
This is all I got, a
million. Take it or leave it.
Okay, a million.
- Good. Anything else?
- Yeah.
I'm gonna need passports,
for me and my entire family.
Can you help me?
All right.
Call this number.
Guy called Top Notch will
answer. Tell him I sent you.
Tell him I'm paying. All right?
Okay.
How soon can you move?
As soon as I get the
documents and the money.
You know it's not going
to be easy to find Teddy
after last night, right?
- I know.
- One more thing.
I'm gonna need your
word that after you get
what you need from Teddy
you're gonna kill him.
No problem.
I'm fucking serious, moreno.
You could've left me with those
vatos and you didn't,
so I trust you, but this time, it's
it's-it's not only me,
it's my family, okay?
Teddy cannot be alive to come
after us once I betray him.
This is the easiest promise I'm
gonna make to you today, Oso.
If you get me Teddy, I'll
kill that motherfucker.
A toda madre.
♪
So we got to just keep coming here?
Yeah.
Till she turns up, I guess.
It's your turn.
(SIGHS)
Yeah, I know.
I promised I'd visit more, it's just
been a lot going on.
After we ride, I'll
tell you all about it.

(GARAGE DOOR OPENING)
KANE: You know, when
I woke up this morning,
my girl was threatening
to move back to Vallejo.
I begged her to move here after my bid.
Said it was safe.
So, we get to arguing and shit, right?
Because now, I'm looking like a liar.
Used to be, days like this,
I'd talk her down.
You know, pull her panties to the side,
show her I needed her,
that I loved her.
But this argument
kept going on and on
all because of you
and a fucking cop.
Don't you
owe me this kindness?

I figured you'd want to do the honors.
Take her out.
Nah.
That's all you.
KANE: Ever tell you
my people were from
Allensworth?
Black farmers.
So, the water got bad.
Lost a lot of ranchers, so
one summer
Grandpa said that I
had to brand the cows.
I was like, nine, ten,
crying and shit. (CHUCKLES)
'Cause, you know, I
didn't want to hurt them.
But he said
the farm was how we protect our family,
that the farm
is how we protect our livelihood.
A legacy.
To take pride in that.
So I did.
Branded
every cow
with my head held high. (CHUCKLES)
