The Mosquito Coast - Second Season

Are we talking yet?

Sure. Why not?

You want some coffee?

I'm gonna start working Richard today.

I still disagree.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

You know what that drum was about? It was, like, all through the night.

- It kept me up. - It turns out it was a vigil.

- For what? - Christ's crucifixion.

Judas betrayed him. The cock crowed. He was crucified.

It's Good Friday, Easter weekend. Now we wait.

Wait for what?

His resurrection.

Who wants some fresh empanadas?

- Do we have milk? - Go see.

Okay.

You know, you can't trust the government in any of your dealings with them.

I know.

Do you?

When will you be back?

I've been summoned by our landlord.

You're really gonna give him Sandpiper?

Don't know what I'm gonna do.

Be careful.

Yeah.

I'll see what I can do.

You hungry?

I thought we'd eat.

Or would you prefer a bottle?

Why is it, the minute this family gets a legitimate foothold in the world,

you try to drag us back down into the jungle with you?

I'm sorry. What are we talking about?

I know it was you, Memo.

Did you know Dad almost died that night?

No. I didn't hear that.

What happened?

His fucking heart.

Now I'm confused again.

Isn't the old man dying exactly what you've been waiting for?

All I want is for at least one of us to make him proud.

Wow.

I got it wrong! I thought you were just counting the days until…

You're pathetic.

You're an embarrassment.

Vicious fucking amateur.

You've earned every bit of the contempt we have for you.

That accent.

Is it new?

You sound like the perfect "Whitina."

You and your merry band of reprobates with Isela.

Your disgraceful association with cartels,

fortunately it's about to end.

I am deeply sorry your investors felt fearful and indecisive.

That development's moving ahead,

no matter what stunts you pull.

Give me their names.

What names?

The assholes that pulled this shit.

How would I know, Andrea?

It sounds like gringo environmentalists, radicals,

some Banksy shit...

Listen to me.

If you know these guys,

you need to quietly get rid of them.

If they're caught...

If you're with them...

Anyone who gets in the way of this project will pay.

You'd best go away.

Father will be down shortly.

Go.

Morning.

Good morning.

Where are you going?

Doing a favor for the guy that owns the land.

Little work to pay the rent.

I thought the people owned the place. What happened to that?

Yeah, well, there's always a landlord.

Turns out we're all just fucking renters.

Hey, Dad? Mom told me.

Told you what?

About that guy. Richard.

And the lab.

Is that it?

And…

that they killed someone.

Some girl.

Your mom's timing. Never not shitty.

And that you've let us blame you.

Well, me.

You've let me blame you.

Sorry.

Hey, you got nothing to be sorry for.

- What? - You didn't do anything wrong.

Yeah, you don't think I fucking know that?

No, Dad.

I didn't mean it that way.

Look, I mean, all these years, I've been blaming you.

I've been really shitty to you about everything.

Look, maybe it's great timing.

Perfect age to start hating not just one, but maybe both parents.

Probably just made your shrink a millionaire.

It's not funny, Dad.

Yeah.

And I don't hate either of you. It's worse than that.

How so?

Well, it just makes sense now. How fucked up both of you are.

Dina...

No, I just think, at a certain point,

you leading the way and fucking things up for us.

And saying, "We're doing this because we're a family."

And Mom saying the dumbest shit like, "Your father knows what he's doing."

Or, you know, you both saying you love us,

and never once fucking acting like it.

And it all just being so fucking awful.

I just...

I just realized…

I don't respect you.

And now, I don't respect her.

So, no. That's not what I mean when I say, "I'm sorry."

I'm not sorry for anything. Anything at all.

I'm sorry for you.

Your mother and I never once did anything without first considering...

You.

- I only ever did what I did to benefit... - You.

Well, you seem pretty dug in.

And that makes it a tough position to argue against.

I'm not arguing, Dad. It's a fact.

I wanna leave. Now. Today.

Is that so?

You really wanna go?

Go.

Door's right there, but let's be clear.

You use it, and it locks behind you.

Wanna go to college? That's great.

High time you started learning absolutely zero.

Happy for you, honey bear. Best of luck with that.

What? You wanna go get a degree in what, Economics?

Communications?

Maybe get soaked with your girlfriends on the weekends.

Snapchat with your boyfriends.

Get 'em to come. Might even settle down with one of 'em.

Sit at home. You can order in.

Order a bunch of crap online, plastic shit for your apartment.

What a cool adventure you're about to go on,

smack-dab into the center of a huge cliché.

Could not be prouder of my little girl.

You're all grown up. I'm so happy for you.

Well, wish I could join you.

Safe travels.

You're a bully.

There she is.

You're sounding like you already graduated.

Fuck you.

Just passing through. I'll be out of your hair in a minute.

I doubt it.

Look, my intention is not to cause any problems.

Tad late for that.

What?

I'm worried.

I'm worried about Charlie.

You don't get to be.

I know. It's just he came to my place yesterday,

and he threatened me, basically.

Really? You're twice his size.

He had a gun.

Where did he get it?

It was mine.

I'll talk to him.

What are you gonna say?

That he's not allowed to shoot you.

Oh, well, that's nice to hear.

I'm really sorry.

Is he okay?

No.

Are you okay?

No.

Why are you here? What do you want?

Well, I don't wanna be here any longer than I have to.

I don't wanna fuck up your life, Margot.

Isela brought me here to do something for someone important,

and then I'll be gone.

Fuck it.

Come on.

Are you coming?

You wanted to know why I'm here, right?

Well, come on.

Here. Put this on.

First-day nerves?

Now you.

Okay boys…

Okay.

Okay.

No.

One second.

Sup?

You know what Dad says about these things.

Religion is just an overture to ignorance in A-flat.

This isn't like... It's not like a Jesus religious thing.

They build this effigy of Judas,

and then you're supposed to, like,
