01x02 - The Orishas

[bunniefuu]

♪

My name is Roman Compte,

and I'm the general manager
of The Mutiny Club.

Let's play "find the DEA agent
at the martini bar."

[ZULIO] Why did you never tell me

that your brother's the biggest
trafficker in Miami?

We went our separate ways.

I'm gonna need you to provide us
with intel about his operation.

Your brother is a very dangerous man.

They threatened to arrest me

and take Valeria away
if I don't cooperate.

You're Janice Nichols.
Hot damn. I love your film.

I did that film against my will.

[NESTOR] Chucho, that's my brother.

We came from Cuba, and you abandoned me.

I didn't wanna k*ll people
so I could sell drugs.

I might be willing to help you,

but you're gonna have to prove
that I can trust you.

There's something else going on, Nestor.

[ROMAN] Some Haitians
stole Nestor's shipment.

- He's gonna buy it back.
- Where?

All units ready to engage.

- [ROMAN] Isn't that the meet?
- Oh, we switched it.

You know, Chucho...
he smells a rat everywhere.

- What the f*ck?!
- [NESTOR] Those Haitians...

they got another thing coming.

[CHUCHO] f*cking rat.

[MAN] We gotta get him
to a f*cking hospital.

Come on, hurry! Let's go!

[IN SPANISH] _

[SEABIRDS CALLING]

[ZULIO] Let me get this
f*cking straight!

A bunch of coke-dealing Haitians

your brother was supposed
to meet with wind up dead,

shot full of holes.

Chucho Ramirez winds up in the ER

in the middle of the night
with a b*llet in his throat.

You're with Nestor the whole time,

and you know nothing about any of this?!

Nestor took me to the meet,
but he had me wait in the car.

Why, Roman, would he do that?

The same reason he gave me
a fake meeting address.

He doesn't trust me yet.
He's testing me.

I'm gonna get the information
from you about your brother,

or you can kiss
your daughter goodbye, huh?

You know, listen, as*h*le.

I risked my life even being there,

and I'm gonna report you
and all your kabooms.

To who? My group supervisor?

Your local congressman? Who, Roman?

[SIGHS] Look, I got this Chucho Ramirez

under 24-hour guard.

Son of a b*tch is unconscious right now.

But if he makes it out of the ICU,

he and I are gonna have a little chat.

Good. What are his chances?

I don't know.

But you ought to pray to God
that miserable piece of sh*t

survives and spills on Nestor. Huh?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]

[DOOR CLOSES, FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

Catalina.

[IN SPANISH] _

Listen, I need you to have faith.

Because I really feel
Chucho's going to recover.

I've asked my madrina
to come by tomorrow

to ask the Orishas for protection...

for him.

I want you to meet Chucho's family.

This is Catalina, his wife,

and his children, Rosa and Manuel.

This is Hermano Romano.

This is the man
that helped me save Chucho.

Gracias.

[IN SPANISH] _

[CATALINA CRIES SOFTLY]

Chucho isn't just my number two.

He's the most loyal guy I've ever known.

Well, he will very likely
be under guard.

[SPEAKS IN SPANISH] _

How many things have you and I done

that everybody said was impossible?

Not walk into a hospital guarded
by U.S. law enforcement.

Chucho is like a brother to me.

I would do for him
as I would do for you.

[SIGHS]

Well, if he's your brother,
then he's my brother, too.

Roman. Look at this.

Can you f*cking believe it?

- Yeah. So?
- They're counterfeit.

People are manufacturing

these g*dd*mn cards
to get into the club.

Oh, sh*t.

Whoever made these
went to a lot of trouble.

Yeah, it's easier
to just print the money.

A lot of people in Miami have money.
Very few have Mutiny cards.

Burn these. Where's Janice?

Anything you need?
Can I get you a drink, a bite?

still work at Mercy Hospital?

Yeah. What kind of favor?

I need the health status

on a patient admitted last night.

- Mm-hmm.
- Chucho Ramirez.

Are you serious?

He got shot.

And how does that involve you?

You can't repeat this to anyone, Janice.

Yeah, of course.

Nestor Cabal is my brother.

- What?
- Yeah.

That DEA as*h*le Zulio
is forcing me to spy on him,

or he'll hit me
with some bullshit drug charges

and take Valeria away.

How can he do that?

You need to get a lawyer. That's...

I can't risk it.

Yeah, I went with Nestor
and Chucho to a...

a meet last night,

and somehow Chucho figured out
I'm working for the DEA.

So look, I-I had to.

It was... It was either him or me.

I had to sh**t him, and he survived.

- Oh, my God.
- Yeah.

If he lives,
and he tells Zulio I shot him,

I'll be sent to jail.

And if he tells Nestor
I'm working with the feds,

I will be face-down in the Everglades.

So, what the hell are you gonna do?

Or...

Or what?

Or takes Mom from us.

So... He must have had a good reason...

for taking her away.

I don't have much time,

so be quick about what you have to say.

Can you at least have a seat?

Please?

[SIGHS]

They said this could be tough.

Who's "they"?

Um, I've been
doing something called EST.

It's about trying to become
a better person.

Part of that includes reconnecting

with people you haven't seen
in a while to make amends.

You lured me and every one
of those girls into a sex ring

using drugs and alcohol

and whatever else
you could find to do it.

You spill that?

Yeah, I did.

Janice, I'm sorry.

I hope you can find forgiveness

if and when you think
I'm ever worthy of it.

Phil, I'm not sure
I can ever forgive you.

But I admit it feels good
to hear you say that.

Thank you.

Chucho will be moved
from the intensive care unit

on the third floor to a private room

on the second that I have arranged.

Now, there's an elevator,
but he'll be on a gurney,

so he'll be wheeled down a ramp.

When they roll that gurney
down the ramp,

we'll be with it every step of the way.

Nestor, the DEA is f*cking wise to this.

[IN SPANISH] _

_

You understand me? All I know is
when Chucho comes out,

Guillermo's gonna be there,

and he's gonna intercept the DEA

before they get to the ramp at gunpoint.

Oh, so you're asking
for a f*cking shootout

in a hospital?

[ZULIO] Cabal's smart.

Very smart, but if he tries
to grab his man,

he's in for a rude awakening.

Nestor, we are too f*cking exposed.

It's an open hospital.
There's civilians.

Too many things could go wrong.

[IN SPANISH] _

I understand everything, but you
need to have a little faith.

If the Orishas want us to succeed,

then we're gonna succeed.

And if they don't,
then we're f*cked anyways.

The Orishas?

Yeah, the divine spirits who protect us.

All right, let's get ready.

He wants to kidnap Chucho
from the hospital? That's crazy.

I couldn't talk him out of it,
but I'm going with him.

Why?

What for?

Chucho might be under DEA guard,

but If Nestor manages
to get him out of there,

it'll be my best chance to take him out.

I need you
to cover for me at the club

for the next few hours.
Can you do that?

Sure, but I don't think
you should do this.

I was that kid who wore shoes
on the wrong feet

'cause he thought
it looked cooler that way,

who'd rather play with snails
in the outfield

during Little League games
than his team,

who flunked every test he ever took

because school felt like
an unbearable prison.

And who was told he'd never
amount to anything by teachers,

psychiatric specialists,
and most of his family.

Except for my mom.

She never treated me like a freak.

She encouraged me to be
as strange as I wanted to be,

because she said, "Burton,
that's your superpower."

And then one day that little boy
got caught in a riptide,

and the only one
who went after him was her.

She saved me...

...but drowned doing it.

I should have told Zulio

- Roman, it's not too late.
- It is.

he'd either tell Zulio
or Nestor what I did.

And Valeria will grow up
without a father.

There's gotta be a way.

Yeah. Yeah. The only way
is if Chucho dies.

After the confirmation,
I'll go to Zulio.

And I'll tell him the whole thing,

even if he throws me in jail.

Maybe he won't take Valeria away.

And Marisol will raise her.

Or maybe you'll get lucky,
and Chucho will die.

I'm not that lucky.

Papá Dios waits for no one.

[MARISOL] Sí. Let's go.

[PRIEST] In confirmation,

we are called to align
our inner intentions

to the beatitudes of Christ,

to search for the fundamental goodness

that God put in all of us.

Confirmation is not merely
a rite of passage.

It is a deepening
of a holy covenant with God,

a profound moment
in your life of faith

that began at baptism.

I can't even believe we're
talking about this, Janice.

Nancy, Roman's life is at stake.

Please, I just need a nurse's uniform.

Please.

Baptism incorporates us into Christ

and forms us into God's people.

His first sacrament
cleanses all our sins

and rescues us
from the power of darkness.

Today, your baptism is
completed, and you are enriched

with the strength
of the Holy Spirit.

Do you reject Satan and all his
works and empty promises?

[ALL] I do.

[PRIEST] Do you believe in God,

the Father Almighty,
creator of Heaven and Earth?

[CONGREGANTS] I do.

[PRIEST] Do you believe
in the holy Catholic Church,

the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting?

[CONGREGANTS] I do.

As you receive the sacraments today,

do so with a heart full of faith

and openness to the workings
of the Holy Spirit

in your life.

This anointing will seal you
with the gifts of the Lord.

Remember these gifts

and use them to spread
and defend the faith.

You were called to be
witnesses of Christ

in your words and actions.

Roman, everything okay?

Yeah. I'll be in in a minute.
I just need some air.

No, no, just... just go inside.

[IN SPANISH] _

Chucho's dead.

What?

I got a call from the hospital.
He died about an hour ago.

He didn't make it.

Chucho's destiny has come to an end.

But a new one begins for me and you.

I'm sorry, I'm not following.

It's a sign from the Orishas.

I need a new second-in-command.

You're my new Chucho.
