Story of a Scar Snowfall

This programme contains very strong language

-Nice boots.

-I haven't seen you in a couple of days.

-I've been busy.

You fucking piece of shit!

You have the balls to come in here after running to Daddy?

Anyone else here? Gustavo?

I don't know where he is. We have to talk.

-You can't do it alone.

-I'm not alone.

Does Club Glitter mean anything to you?

Did that sister find out we were there?

No, she met some guys and left with them.

-What guys?

-He kind of looked like, like a Latino Freddie Mercury.

-What you boys doing here?

-We just cruisin'.

Then cruise.

We sell it right here in the hood. Same as weed.

100,000 off a single key?

Oh, shit.

GUNSHOT

I'm comin', man!

They're on their way. You're going to be all right.

MUFFLED CONVERSATION

Just chillin'...

Yeah, I know. I heard.

Um, have you seen Franklin? Mm-hm. Can you just...?

Just send him home, you know?

I just... I just need to see him.

Or he can call me or, you know, just, uh...

All right.

Where have you been?!

At the station.

God.

Mm.

Hope you could give them more than I could.

Did the back and forth there for over two hours.

You went to the hospital?

-Mm-hm.

-How's Leon?

He caught two bullets, Franklin.

He's lucky to be alive.

Her mother was hysterical and I didn't have much for her.

He going to be good, though?

Looks that way. Yeah.

You gonna make me ask?

It's Leon. You know.

Always starting some shit.

Finally mouthed off to the wrong person.

You know, he probably caught him coming by the house.

So you had nothing to do with it, right?

No.

Come on, Mom. Of course not.

You scare me, Franklin.

How easy it is for you to look me in the eye

and lie your ass off.

You got your best friend's blood on your clothes

and you don't miss a goddamn beat.

Jerome was here.

Heard the news. Wanted to check in.

Guilt was all over his face.

At least someone in this family

-has still got a fucking conscience.

-What'd he say?

He didn't have to say shit.

I want to hear it from you.

What do you want to hear?

Start with how long you've been slinging the weed for him.

Six months.

Give or take.

Six months you've been lying to my face.

Playing me for a goddamn fool.

No, it was never easy lying to you.

And I didn't like it.

But I had to step up, get somethin' real going.

Ain't like you don't know about smoking no weed.

What you say?

Who the fuck you think you talkin' to?!

You ain't going to fucking talk to me this way. You...

KNOCK ON DOOR

Miss Cissy?

I, uh...hope it's not too late.

-You doin' all right?

-Yeah, we're good.

I already talked to a bunch of your friends.

Yeah. I wanted a minute with the boy,

if you don't mind.

He's man enough to speak for himself.

Hey...Franklin.

Hey, relax, relax.

All right, I know you've seen your fair share of badges today.

I was hoping you and me,

we could have a different conversation.

It's like I told them, man, I don't...

I don't know anything and I didn't see anything.

What if I told you I saw two boys parked down the street

watching your house?

Got a good look at their faces.

All I need you to do is help me fill in some blanks. Give me a name.

I'll take care of the rest.

Afraid I can't help you.

Excuse me.

ON PHONE: And what about the fish tank?

Fish tank?

Yeah, it's in the back of the storage unit.

Remember you said you thought fish would be soothing?

Oh, right. Yeah, that seemed like a good idea.

Until I realised we'd have vat of floating bacteria in our living room.

Hey, I understand.

You have bigger things to worry about than a fish tank.

DOOR BANGS

Oh, shit. Uh, Jules, sorry. Look, I've got to run.

Um, you know, why don't you just get rid of the fish tank if you want, all right?

Yeah, sure. Fine.

OK, I'll talk to you soon. I love you.

That's all they were able to salvage.

Wait, what about Elena?

Her Jeep was hit.

But they got her out.

She had some burns, but nothing too bad.

Flew her to Soto Cano for treatment.

And it's all destroyed?

The... The camp, the processing tent,

our pipeline?

I have other suppliers we can use for now.

Who?

The Colombians?

It'll keep things moving.

Who are they? Escobar's people?

Escobar's too powerful.

Could run us over and not even feel the bump.

OK.

The Medellin Cartel controls,

like, 90% of the Colombian coke trade.

Uh-huh. And we'll be dealing with the other 10%.

Out of Cali.

Can they meet our needs?

At decent prices.

But there'll be a bigger slice taken out

than getting the leaves from Peru.

Yeah, but I guess I'm more concerned with whether or not we can trust them.

Oh...

OK. Um, OK.

How soon can we sit down with them?

The next few days, but it has to be just me.

Hey, trust me. I'm doing you a favour.

Pinche Pedro.

What did Ramiro say?

Well, he wasn't happy. Obviously.

But he agreed to keep things running.

He's letting it continue.

First, Ramiro's taking control of the entire operation.

He's taking it away from you?

It could be a lot worse.

Peor que being Ramiro's slave? Hm?

He also doesn't want to do business with Stomper any more.

Those Monarcas pose too much risk,

and we don't need them.

Once my father's gone,

we could use our own distribution network.

And what do I tell El Stomper and Hernan? Hm?

You aren't to do anything.

Should be enough for you to start over.

You want me to run?

You killed two of his men. He's not going to let that go.

You're siding with him? Hm?

Con mi familia, Oso.

Con mi familia.

You want me to turn my back on them?

Run away with you?

Look at me.

Look at me, carajo.

I'm not going to run.

Maybe we don't have to run.

Been trying to get a minute with you, but your pops,

you know, we have...

Ooh!

SHE LAUGHS

Summer classes going OK?

Boring as hell, but it'll look good on my transcripts.

How's Leon?

Coming home from the hospital today.

And you? You all right?

Cool.

Thanks for walking me home.

My daddy brought the hammer down.

Don't want me around none of y'all.

So we going to have to roll a different way.

It's all good, though.

I know it's a little messy.

I didn't expect you to come, so...

The... The cops.

They was on their way, and, you know, and Leon...

I had to think fast, Mel.

I couldn't risk 'em searching my house.

So...

..you going to risk my ass

-by bringing that shit into my crib?

-I couldn't see any other way.

I thought you was down with me.

And I thought you actually cared about me.

But you can't see anything else besides what's inside that fucking bag.

I'm sorry. It's not going to happen again.

No. Franklin, just go. Just... Don't touch me.

-It's...

-Get out. Get out of my house.

Get out.

KNOCK ON DOOR

-Hey.

-Hi.

Victoria, come in.

-How's it goin'?

-OK.

-How about you?

-Yeah. OK. What's going on?

I just wanted to, uh...

I just wanted to get you something.

-What is it?

-You know, it's to thank you for all of your help.

No, you don't... You don't have to do that.

It's from Harvey.

You know, that one with the giant invisible rabbit

that only Jimmy Stewart can see, so...

I can't accept this.

Oh, no. I insist.

I mean, you've been the one bright spot in all of this.

So...

Yeah. Especially when I was throwing up everywhere

and getting punched in the face.

SHE LAUGHS

Yeah. Uh, yeah. Especially then.

Listen... I just...

I can't keep doing this for much longer.

At a certain point, I just have to accept that she's, uh...

...that she's gone, you know?

Hey.

You've done more than anybody else would have.

Well, I don't know if that's true, but... Thank you.

Can I...?

Mm.

I should probably go.

OK.

Bye.

HE SIGHS

Hey.

Jerome ain't here.

I was looking for Franklin.

He's not here neither.

How much are you involved in all of this?

Here we go.

What? You comin' for me, too?

Well, you and Jerome always lock, step, and barrel and everything.

OK, all right. All right, all right, OK.

Look, I feel you.

Things are sideways, shit brought into your home.

So I ain't going to take it personally,

but Jerome ain't here, Franklin ain't here.

It's just me. So...

Here, let me get you some coffee.

It's all falling apart.

No, it ain't.

I should've never let him quit college.

Throwing away all the advantages I gave him.

No, you was happy to have him back home.

My brother was happy to have him slinging.

Your brother ain't been doing nothing but trying

to keep that boy straight.

Franklin is the one that's been pushing ahead.

It's even been causing some problems in our home,

so don't be blamin' Jerome.

So I should be blaming you.

Can't blame me.

Blame Jerome, you blame Franklin for droppin' out.

But I don't see you blamin' the one person who should be

thinkin' real hard about her own choices.

-Excuse me?

-Look at what Franklin sees.

You, kissing up to some cracker-ass slumlord...

-You better stop, Louie.

-..begging him...

You better stop right motherfucking there.

..and thanking him for the crumbs off the table.

Are you tryin' to take the high road with me?

Let me remind you...

..every cent I have earned to feed him,

to keep us alive, I have earned standing on my own two feet.

Not playing no small time hustle with my man.

And definitely not laying on my goddamn back.

You better watch your fucking mouth.

I will not stand by and watch you try to drag my son

into that gutter your stank ass come from.

You hear me?

I am goddamn sick and tired of your condescending,

hypocritical, siddity ass bullshit. Yeah, get the fuck up out of my house,

you Stepin Fetchit bitch.

Yeah. Yeah.

You're mad Franklin lyin',

but you're the one lyin' to your damn self!

You guys open?

Sure. Sit wherever you want.

You ready to order?

Oh, uh, could I get a bowl of chowder

and a glass of water, please?

-OK.

-Thank you.

CLATTERING

HE GASPS

Wah!

Wah! Wah! Wah!

-That's some weak-sauce Kato.

-Kato your ass.

Wah-ah-ah!

OK, you won. You won. Show me your teeth.

Come here, show me your teeth.

Mm, y'all want to go get some candy?

-Yes.

-I do.

-I could probably get, like, a lollipop.

-I'm going to get me a cupcake...

-What's up, man?

Hey, bring me back some Lemonheads.

Where your mom at?

Laying down in the back.

Hazard pay.

What about my shirt?

No, I'm just fucking with you.

You're stupid.

Yeah. How you feelin'?

I'm going to need another hit of them happy pills soon.

I ain't going to hear shit you gotta say.

So break it down.

When we makin' our move?

Yeah. Workin' on it.

I mean, not for nothin',

I could step it to a motherfucker right now.

Nigga, you can't even step.

Nah, for real. Like, we gotta catch 'em in the car.

Get 'em contained like they did Sonny in The Godfather

and just fuckin' kill 'em.

Unless that they ridin' together.

Those two always together.

Not when they rolled up on me. Just Lenny.

Nah, that can't be right.

Nigga, don't tell me. I was there.

Man, you sure you going to be able to do this shit without me?

I can't lie, man.

Havin' you on the bench ain't ideal.

Well, look, it ain't about payback, all right?

It's about rep.

You gotta let niggas know right here, right now

that we're official, cos if you don't,

motherfuckers are always going to be comin' at us, all right?

Those options...hit or miss.

Last one...

You know, you need a new alternator, brakes.

METALLIC TAPPING

That's not... That's not bothering you? The...

What?

Louie!

-Hey, Louie?

-I'm here.

-Where have you been?

-What do you mean, where have I been?

-You know where I've been.

-Stop. Your sister came here lookin' for you.

Almost made me whup her ass.

-Hm.

-How'd it go?

How did it go? Huh?

How did it go?

All of this in one day?

I ain't never seen nothin' like it.

I upped the money to dimes. They still came back for more.

They kept comin' back. Anyway...

What?

This going to be huge.

Is somethin' wrong with that?

-No, it's... It's fantastic.

-Yeah.

We've got to do this shit.

Yeah, baby.

We going to do this here.

We going to do this.

Yeah.

I got some VIPs comin' tonight.

-You want to sit with them?

-OK.

Good.

Hey, what's happening, candyman?

Your timing couldn't be better. This here is Shayla.

She's one of my newest prospects.

Don't let the baby face fool you.

-She's a prodigy.

-I need to talk to you.

This is the VIP list for tonight. AC Green's comin'.

Keep them girls off of him.

And get this sad brother some Henney. Goddamn.

I want you to go upstairs, try on them size seven shoes.

-Let me know what do you think.

-OK.

All right. Right here.

Bam.

Well, I'm glad to see you in one piece.

You heard?

Just rumours. Variations on a theme.

One of them had you taking a bullet to the face,

which I am delighted to see ain't true.

Leon caught the bullet.

But he going to be all right.

That that little nigga who called me a busted old bitch?

I came to ask a favour, Claudia.

I need you to get word to Ray Ray.

Arrange a sit-down.

-A sit-down?

-Uh-huh.

Boy, you've been watching too many TV shows.

I don't claim to know everything about this, uh, game,

but I'm pretty sure if a nigga wanted you dead,

the quickest way to expedite that shit

-is to sit down in front of him.

-Yeah, I'm trying to avoid that.

And you want to use my valuable time and resources, is that it?

Listen, if it's about product, I could do way better now.

It ain't about that now.

You asking me to be the United fucking Nations.

And I'm saying

I need something a little more personal.

Hey.

You're late.

They'll front 50 kilos.

Prices are much better if we pick it up in Mexico,

-fly it in ourselves.

-That's cool.

Uh, so long as it's not the middle of the desert, I can live with that.

That's it?

You're not going to pull some shit? Demand to know everything?

Ask me a million questions?

Thank you for handling that.

So, uh, listen, I talked to the doctors at Soto Cano,

and they said that they don't have the facilities

to treat some of Elena's injuries.

So I had her flown to the Dallas Burn Clinic.

Burn Clinic? She said it wasn't that bad.

It's her left arm and a part of her leg.

It's just precautions.

So I took care of the immigration paperwork,

and, uh, she should be there by tonight.

So...

KNOCK ON DOOR

HE SPEAKS SPANISH

Uh, this better not be about more late payments.

I told you we would find other buyers if it happened again.

No, no, no, no. We have the money.

This is my father, Ramiro.

Reed and Alejandro.

OK, no, no. Why is he here?

Where's Gustavo?

My father's running things now. Wanted to meet our suppliers.

We're going to increase our buy soon if that, uh,

helps to ease your mind.

Consistency and routine ease my mind.

-Unexpected changes don't.

-Uh...

-Increase by how much?

-25 kilos this time.

And we're going to double it soon after.

From this point forward, my son handles all the transactions,

so please continue to treat him with the proper respect.

Of course.

We just want to do good business.

Perfect.

You're in good hands. I look forward for a long

and prosperous relationship here.

Well, if you gentlemen want to come this way,

I'll get you the product.

One deal and you back out?

You see, here's the thing.

I don't think it's going to go down like that.

I think you're going to come here

with the cocaine

like we agreed.

It's not my choice.

Not my choice.

So your girl fucks us...

..and then sends you to deliver the news?

HE SPEAKS SPANISH

She didn't send me.

I'm being cut out, too.

HE LAUGHS

Well, ain't this some shit?

Look...

Hernan vouched for me.

Be straight with you.

Tell me, why did she change her mind so fast?

She was on her own, pero now,

toda su pinche familia's involved.

You're telling me the Villanueva family

is going to be my competition?

You did the right thing by coming here and telling us.

You're smart...honest.

You know everything about that bitch and her family?

Where they live? What kind of people they got? All that shit?

Guess I know why you ready for Jerome to leave.

It's the only way Claudia help me set up the meet.

And I told her, I won't put you in any kind of danger.

-Or anything...

-It ain't like that.

I know.

I didn't get that at first.

She told you about us?

Way back when?

Not so much.

So you just came here

to ask me to fuck that crazy bitch?

Nah, of course not.

-I just couldn't see any other way...

-Relax. It ain't that bad.

I just want to be clear on exactly what is going to come of it.

Lenny the one out of pocket.

That makes sense after what we did to him.

If I could just get Ray Ray into a room...

Oh, honey. That is not what I meant.

Nah, I got all the faith in the world

that you gonna handle this shit.

My question is, when it do work out,

what's in it for me?

How much you want?

It ain't about the money.

It's about Claudia, about that club.

If I do this, you gonna get it for me.

HE LAUGHS

These numbers look good.

You know, once this ramps up, it's going to happen fast.

More people, more weapons.

Then we'll bring in someone to look at the books.

I don't need any help with the books.

I know.

You get into cocaine, could get violent.

God forbid if anything should happen to you.

I can't have you be the only one that knows about our finances.

PHONE RINGS

What?

It's your father's house number.

ON ANSWERPHONE: Hello, I'm not in right now. Please leave a message

after the beep.

BEEP

-ON PHONE:

-Hi, Reed. It's Victoria calling.

I think I found something that might possibly help us.

So if you could just call me back when you get this,

I want to share it with you.

You know, you've been so helpful with everything,

you know, getting in...

-Hello, hey, it's me.

-Oh, hi.

-I think I found a lead.

-Yeah, what'd you find?

I was packing up Kristin's stuff to take back home, including her pictures,

and that's when I started thinking about photos.

And I remembered seeing someone taking photos at the club the other night.

And so I went back to Glitter and they put me in contact

with Rinaldi, who was there the night that Kristin went missing.

How are you doing?

And he had all these photos, so... Show him the one.

That's them! Leaving the club.

Go to the next one.

And that's Jess, right?

And him, you know, Latin Freddie Mercury.

Wait, zoom in.

Yeah. He's the one.

He's the answer to all this.

Order 75, double cheeseburger and onion rings.

75, double cheeseburger and onion rings.

Yeah, that's cool.

You want some food? You hungry? Milkshakes are good.

No, I'm good.

Claudia lay it all out?

She laid it out.

What the hell you thought was going to happen?

Beat down my homie?

You fuck up his house?

You see that?

I got beat down first.

And I wasn't the one who did it to him.

Yeah, well, we took care of them HTB arcade niggas.

What about the cops?

You take care of them, too?

You know, matter of fact...

..my next door neighbour's a cop.

Said he saw two guys scopin' out my place.

And he's tracking them down right now.

That's how it's going down? You a snitch, motherfucker?

If you're looking for some type of truce, you're in the wrong place.

No, no, no, no.

No truce.

Then what the fuck is we doin' here?

We going to talk business.

Because that's what it's about, right?

Money?

# Well, you better listen, my sisters and brothers

# Cos if you do, you can hear
