01x03 - Sin of Origin

[bunniefuu]

sh*t.

Thanks for your f*cking help, Javi.

You're a g*dd*mn gazelle, Clemens.

No wonder they put you up

for a promotion.

That and my natural leadership skills.

Well, while you were getting

smoked by Speedy Gonzales,

I found the g*n he ditched in the wash.

Enjoy that paperwork.

Mm, you going home?

If I'm late to dinner

one more time because of you,

Jill's gonna k*ll me.

I suppose I'll just

go out drinking by myself.

You've never had a problem

making friends

or drinking alone.

Little prick.

I had him.

Come on. One drink.

What's the matter?

Jill didn't let you bring

your ba*ls to work today?

This from the one

with the fanny pack, right?

- Oh, this?

- Yeah.

This here's a utility bag.

It's both stylish and practical.

Let's be honest

It's a "murse."

Hey, wait, what are you doing?

Why aren't you taking the 15?

South 32nd's faster.

Besides, my favorite bar's up this way.

You don't quit.

Oh Jesus.

What the hell are you doing, man?

My moms called, like, an hour ago

about the party over there.

It's too loud.

What, do we look like

cops to you, as*h*le?

Yeah, kind of.

Border Patrol, ese. We

don't take noise complaints.

- It's all right, yeah.

- What?

I'm just gonna poke

my head in there real quick.

Poke your head in.

Hey, it's my civic duty.

Yeah.

Hey, man, I told you I got to go home.

Read your f*cking handbook, Clemens.

We serve the American public

with vigilance and integrity.

You forgot professionalism.

Oh, man.

Come on, man.

Oh, man.

Ah, damn it.

Huh?

Uh, no, gracias.

No, no.

Thank you, thank you.

Thanks.

Hey, stop!

Stop!

Oh, sh*t.

Hey!

Stop!

Turn around, as*h*le.

Hey, turn around!

Show me your hands!

I said, "Show me your hands!"

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, f*ck.

He pulled. He tried to pop off a shot.

It's a phone.

Okay

We're gonna fix this.

Stay inside.

Get back.

Stay the f*cking inside.

He drew, you shot.

That's it.

There's no g*n.

He drew, you shot.

It was self-defense,

you f*cking hear me?

No.

- He's an unarmed brown kid.

You're a white man with a g*n.

No. I said, "No."

You like your life?

What the f*ck do you think's

gonna happen to it?

Put the g*n in the car, man.

Dispatch, this is Victor-107.

Dispatch, this is Victor-107.

Shots fired.

Copy, Victor 107.

What's your 20?

I'm on the southwest corner

of 32nd and Greenlea.

Oh.

Who are you?

¿Quién?

Hello?

I need a phone a teléfono.

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You have a family.

I have a family, too.

They're in, uh, danger peligroso.

Mi familia es en mucho peligroso.

No.

What?

No, it's fine.

Miss No, no, I'm talking to you.

Hold on a second.

Wait!

God damn it.

Oh, f*ck.

Could you wait?

Hold on a second!

Wait!

Alto.

Stop.

Wait!

Alto, alto.

Gracias.

Uh

Teléfono, por favor.

No teléfono.

¿Teléfono?

Hey, I didn't make a call.

Hang on.

Wait.

Brothers,

Now we come together,

to accept Alexandra (?)

into the church for the faith, (?)

Let us go before the altar. (?)

Alexandra,

I baptise you,

in the name of the father,

the son,

and the holy spirit,

???

Amén.

You got a phone I can use?

Uh, Yeah, buddy.

Don't get a lot of

tourists around here.

Here, just try to keep it short.

Thanks.

Hi, you've reached Jill.

I can't get to the phone right now

You have reached

the offices of Dr. Frank Kerr.

To make an appointment, press one.

If this is a mental-health

emergency, press two.

I want you to do something for me.

I want you to name

as many embarrassing moments

for someone else

as you can in a minute.

I can't think of any.

Right.

This is how people view

your embarrassing moments.

I'm afraid we don't

take up nearly as much space

in the stories of others

as we think we do.

I'm so sorry.

Just one sec.

It's my emergency line.

Yeah, this is Dr. Kerr.

If you're my shrink,

then everything I say is

between you and me, right?

Ben?

Just answer the question, Frank.

Uh, well, I'm not really

partial to the word "shrink,"

but technically, yes.

I'm glad you finally called.

It's safe to say that

you love Jill and Kate

as much as I do, right?

Um, I-I suppose so.

I'm so sorry.

Just one minute.

Uh, Ben, what's going on?

I f*cked up, Frank.

I made a mistake with the wrong people.

Uh, what do you mean

"the wrong people"?

I need you swear to me

that you will say nothing

of what I'm about to tell you

to Jill and Kate.

You're beginning to scare me, Ben.

You're all in danger.

There were people in your house.

They filmed you sleeping.

- What people were in my house?

- Sicarios.

What?

I know you and I haven't always had

the best relationship,

but if you love Jill and Kate

as much as I do,

then you have to trust me right now.

Well, shouldn't we

just call the police?

No! Tell no one about

this conversation, Frank

Not Kate, not Jill,

not the police, no one.

Uh, okay.

As soon as we hang up the phone,

I need to call them both,

find out where they are,

and go to them.

Go to the bank on the way, take

out as much cash as you can.

Also, buy a prepaid cell phone

and, uh, get rid of all

of your cell phones.

Okay, Ben, is all this

really necessary?

I saw a device used

to monitor cell phone traffic

in the back seat of one

of the sicarios' cars.

For all I know, they're monitoring

all three of your cell phones.

That's why I called you at your office.

Ditch your car, take

a taxi to the airport.

Use cash to buy tickets to Vancouver,

the first flight out.

Why Vancouver?

There's no large-scale

Mexican neighborhood there,

so it's a place these men will avoid.

Now, all of that should

take about six hours.

Call me back on this cell phone

as soon as you're all safe.

Six hours, no matter what.

And tell no one, you got it?

- What about you, Ben?

- Me?

Yeah, Jill and Kate would be devastated

if something happened to you.

You're gonna meet us, right?

- Okay, thanks.

- Happy to help.

Uh, I'm just wondering

how long it would take

for you to deliver all of this

to Javi's old place.

Oh, so not a tourist. Not

sure I have all this stuff.

Well, I'll take whatever you got.

Just bring it over to the house,

say, in about, um, five,

five and a half hours?

- Put it on Javi's account?

- Yeah, you got it.

You're mourning the men who

tried to k*ll me and your friend?

I knew them since they were children.

Saw them grow up on the beach, Ben.

I thought you'd be gone.

So did I.

What happened?

Why did you choose to come back?

"Choose"?

That's a funny word.

And Maria Elena?

She's safe.

Thank God.

And thank you.

I'm sorry for what

happened to you here, Ben.

That's not your problem.

My father used to work at San

Pedro Martir Observatory

in the mountains near here.

As a young girl, I spent half my time

looking at the stars

and the other half

swimming in the ocean.

You don't know what

this place used to be.

Hey, you have to stop

living in the past.

It's not safe for you here,

not after what happened.

The best thing you could do

is get out of here as soon as you can.

And go where?

There's an old expression

"When America sneezes,

Mexico catches a cold."

Your government puts more

scrutiny on the border,

and the cartel is forced to use boats

20 feet from my restaurant.

- So it's all America's fault?

- Who buys the drugs?

Look, I know Maria Elena

didn't find me on her own.

And she's gonna have a new life

now, and that's because of you.

How long do you think it'll be

before Dante figures that out?

If nothing else, I take comfort

of helping those who need it.

Let me help you, Ben.

I can't take that.

You can't stay here.

And you won't be able

to get out without money.

Please.

I won't let you go until you take it.

As soon as this is over,

I'm gonna find a way to pay you back.

Good-bye, Ben.

Thank you.

Sorry about that.

I've got all your stuff in the back.

- Hop in. I'll give you a lift.

- You're early.

You weren't joking.

That is one big project

you've got there.

Yeah, faulty wiring.

Wow, that's a pity.

Me and Javi were just

starting to make progress.

You helped Javi with this?

Yeah, we used to come up,

do some fishing,

drink a few pints, sh**t

at the empties on the beach.

Good with his sidearm, your man, Javi.

Not the best fisherman.

Or electrician.

Good.

Best of luck.

Hey, uh

you think you could give me

a hand with this?

Do you have any beer?

I mean, honestly, mate, you

are one lucky guy.

You think about the proximity,

and considering the

unpredictability of the wind

at this part of the beach,

it's a miracle the fire

didn't spread to the trailer.

You'll be happy

to know that your friend Javi

lived his truth here.

Right. Uh

Here we go.

Hello?

Oh, uh, it's for you.

Oh, hey.

- Hello? Frank?

- Oi, Ben.

- Hello, hello?

- A little help here?

Frank, can you hear me?

- Frank?

- I can, yeah.

Frank, Jill and Kate are they safe?

Yeah, they're safe.

And where are you guys now?

Yeah, we're on the plane.

- We're about to take off.

- Oh, thank God.

Frank, how much do they know?

Just that you'll explain

when you get here.

Alright.

I'll find a way.

Hey, uh, didn't you say

that you and Javi

used to do some sh**ting here?

Yeah.

Any idea what he did with that g*n?

Give me your g*n.

Easy.

Drive.

- Put your lights on.

We're not stopping.

And don't do anything stupid.

Good. Keep going.

I see why you chose me

as your driver, migra,

but if this is your whole plan

it's a long way to the border.

A lot can happen on the open road.

Don't worry. We're not going far.

Here, take me there.

Kidnapping an officer at

gunpoint from a funeral?

Even for an American,

you have very little regard.

They were criminals,

and you sent Maria Elena

right back to them

after I trusted you to help her.

So you think I'm dirty?

At best, you look the other way.

Doing nothing's still a choice.

At worst, you're in bed

with the cartel.

Mm.

"Protect and serve."

Isn't that what it says on

your police cars del otro lado?

In this country, it's

"protect and survive."

I have a son in Tecate.

I do my job, make a

difference where I can.

But when someone threatens your family,

you'll do anything to keep them alive,

even if that means doing nothing.

Yeah, right up there.

Others have tried this before.

The pilot's gonna have to file

a flight plan with the FAA.

As soon at the plane lands

Yeah, Immigration will be all over me.

If there's a problem with that

plan, I'm happy to hear it.

Flying private isn't cheap,

even down here,

so I'm gonna need your wallet slow.

And now la migra adds

robbery to his list of crimes.

Yeah, well,

I'm sure you won't mind

looking the other way.

They're gonna find you.

Jesus.

Uh, seat belt?

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, good.

Uh

Is this the right way?

Hey, what the f*ck is going on, man?

Why are we landing?

Hello?

m*therf*cker.

Hey

What did he say?

He wants to know if that's how

you greet all your employers.

Hey

You look like you could use a drink.

No, thanks.

I'm more of a beer guy.

The first vineyards in North

America are planted in Mexico.

- Did you know that?

- No.

The Spanish brought the grapes

along with the small pox

Some of the few gifts they left us.

Lacryma Christi Tears of Christ.

- You ever taste it?

- No.

It's a blend of two grapes.

They grow at the base

of the same volcano

that once destroyed Pompeii.

I went to Italy,

brought back a cutting.

All that you see here

came from the same stock.

But i-it tastes completely

different here in Mexico.

You may think it's the climate

or the granite in the soil,

but I believe it's the blood.

"The blood"?

Mexican soldiers pushed the Spanish

out of the peninsula below us by force.

When the gringos invaded us,

we pushed them out, too.

The soil remains ours,

every inch of it.

But it's seen more suffering

than any volcano could ever give

So much that even Christ's

Tears taste different here.

Ahh.

What do you think?

Does it matter?

I'm thinking you didn't

bring me here for the wine.

Walk with me, Ben.

We started with poppies.

Now we grow grapes.

There is hope, Ben.

Don't you think?

Ben?

No, you need

You need to let him go.

I told you the rules.

He's got nothing to do with this.

I f*cked up.

T-this is on me. Please!

You said you wanted to

keep your family safe,

but didn't do what it takes.

- This is my fault.

Let him go.

We had a deal, Ben.

You do as you're told, tell no one.

Look, God damn it,

then punish me, not him!

Look, you like to make deals?

- I'll make you one.

- Yes, yes, please, please!

You're in no position to bargain, Ben.

Hold on to him.

Ben, what are you doing,

man? I don't want to die!

You are giving him to us as what

Some kind of present?

You you seem like a businessman.

I'm offering you collateral.

You hold on to him

as long as you need to

until I've done whatever it is

that you want me to do.

- Anything we ask?

- Anything!

Only, once the job is done, I'm done,

and I get to take him home

to his wife

and his four-year-old child.

I know you're a man of your word,

and I can be a man of mine, too.

I just need you to let me prove it.

No! No!

Oh, God!

What the f*ck did you do?

- Hold on, hold on.

- No!

You took away his child from him,

he took away a family member from you.

Now you're even.

Go back to San Diego, Ben.

Your next job will be waiting for you.

My family.

Now it's up to you to keep them safe.

It would be a shame if something

like this happened again.

Oh

Frank.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, Frank.
