Bad Monkey

We were so close.

The Striplings are probably already in the Bahamas having daiquiris.

It's only 9:30.

Daiquiris aren't really a breakfast drink.

- Can't someone just go and arrest them? - It's not that simple, Rosa.

And there's extradition rules.

There's applications and authorizations, and, you know, bureaus calling bureaus

and then lots of different crossing wires

and things that lead ultimately to the ability to go do something like that.

It's not like you just, you know, go and do it.

- You don't know, do you? - I don't.

But I believe I'm in the ballpark, yeah.

Let's see here.

- -

I can't be talking to you.

I know, but I missed you.

And also, Nick Stripling's still alive.

I've got his cell phone and a pretty good idea where he is.

I don't know, I thought maybe we could swing by and we could talk

- about what our next move should be. - Fuck no!

All right, that's a great starting place.

- How about a double fuck no? - We'll call that a baby step.

I know I'm in a bit of a jam here.

Dude, you're a murder suspect.

Maybe it's even a pickle.

Look, Ro, you are so good at these situations.

I need your help, guy.

Ro would always regret what he said next.

- Come over. - Thank you.

Next time, can't we just start here?

Now, don't hang up on me. You know that's a pet peeve of...

Considering the way things had been going,

the smart move was for Neville to lay low,

but he had a hunch the Dragon Queen could help him.

His hunches were as bad as Yancy's.

- Get off! - The fuck?

- -

Egg!

My man. My main man. My brother.

I am none of those things.

You are not. No.

You seen that kid Neville?

Uh, no, no. I just dropped the boss and his missus.

Now I'm... I'm gassin' up the plane,

taking some drug runners, you know, back to the States, so...

I'm sure they appreciate you telling everyone.

Ooh, excellent point.

Um, hey... Uh, y-you have a second?

You look parched.

Wanna grab a quick coffee? Or we could, um... All right.

Well, we can push it. Rain check.

Wow, that guy is scary.

Egg couldn't help but feel frustrated,

both by Neville and sexually,

but he was pretty sure he could go fix one of those.

Couldn't find him. He's bleeding pretty bad.

He'll turn up in the hospital or dead.

I can't remember the last time someone ran away

while my tongue was in their mouth.

Mm-mmm. You missed your chance.

Would've been good too.

You can go.

Why men don't ever know when they're supposed to leave?

Yancy still had the stink of a dug-up grave on him,

so he needed a shower and a change of clothes.

Pull over. I'll get out here in case the cops are waiting at my place.

Just like high school.

My boyfriend Keith used to drop me off a block away

so I could sneak in after curfew.

I gotta be honest with you, I don't like the sound of that.

You and Keith, staying out late,

- doing God knows what. -

You know, curfews exist because of guys like Keith.

Oh, my God. You make me need coffee.

I don't make you do anything. I'm not Keith.

I'll meet you later at Rogelio's.

- Bring Keith. -

After the initial excitement wore off,

Cody buried himself in one of the books Yancy had never read.

Damn, this dude is a good writer.

Yeah.

Hey, you all right?

I'm just kind of tired of running.

Yeah, you know what? It's, uh... Actually, uh, never mind.

You know, I don't like it when people don't finish their thoughts.

I find it really selfish and arrogant.

Yeah, I'm s... I'm sorry.

Uh, I don't know, it's kind of stupid, but, um, I was thinking I'm 27 now,

and you know, they probably wouldn't chase you

if... if we were, like... ...like, a real couple.

I don't know, Cody.

Uh... Yeah. No, you're right.

But Bonnie had always seen her life as a series of problems,

and the people around her, well, they were just solutions.

So, who knows...

maybe she had found another one.

- -

Get off me.

- Oh, what the... - It's okay. Just let this happen.

- Just relax, just breathe. - Bonnie.

- Ea... Easy, easy. -

- - Andrew. Will you get off of him, please?

As she looked at the forged deed,

Gracie knew she was close to a point of no return.

You wanted to see me?

Thanks for coming.

Ya-Ya, we have guests.

When I hear you was trying to sell

your husband's little piece of land on the beach,

I know we had to talk.

As you can see, James gave it to me for my service.

I tell him I could only accept if I'm able to help.

You can't put a price on the relief you brought James and our whole family.

Fuck this. Call a lawyer, Mom.

Little girl, last time I stay quiet around your disrespect. No more.

Any more nonsense out your mouth, you'll regret it.

I'm sorry for her.

It's okay. She's grieving.

- Tell her I'm always here for her. -

What? Why you make the cat noise?

Because your claws was out. You was ready to go.

Nobody talk to you like that.

Except you.

So, when Mr. Wendell give you such a generous gift?

Right before his spirit leave him, he know the end was near.

Now, we could take a walk, or you could get in somebody else's face?

Nobody fucking with Ya-Ya today.

Look, can you just get him some Advil please?

- Thank you. - No.

- Are you kidding me? - Bonnie, he tried to kill me.

Stop being so dramatic. He tried to scare you.

You, on the other hand, tried to kill my husband.

I mean, what is it about me that just drives men to violence?

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure

- you shouldn't be so happy about it. - Mmm.

That golf cart thing is actually how I found her.

- Hmm. - I saw the video online.

- - Sorry, man,

- I just thought you were dangerous. - Huh.

- See, you were trying to protect me. -

Okay, look, you know that I root for love,

and I couldn't be happier for you two crazy kids.

But you're a fugitive. We both are. You can't stay here.

Well, you know what? I got a backup plan.

See, he's coming through for you. Go ahead. What is it?

Well, I got us a room at the Motor Inn.

- Oh. - Yeah.

Hmm.

Lesson one, champ: She doesn't do Motor Inns.

A-Any chance we could spend a few nights at the cabin

just until I figure out what's next?

Sure.

I gotta go to Ro's.

- Yes. - Be gone before I'm back.

That little fucker.

- 911. What's your emergency? - Yeah, hi.

Uh, I'm actually calling to report a... a sighting of a wanted man. Andrew Ya...

- Hey. - It's a false alarm.

Hey! No, no, no! What the...

Hopefully, you have the find your phone feature.

Dude, I just got a chick's number. I didn't back it up. Fuck!

Hey, excuse me. Yeah.

Go back to the woods or whatever.

Goddamn it.

As he waited for Yancy,

Ro couldn't stop thinking about all of Sonny's threats.

Flaco , have you seen Natalia's hair clip?

What hair clip?

Her unicorn hair clip. It's her favorite.

She can't find it, and she's losing her shit.

- You okay? - Mm-hmm.

- Why? - When you think,

your forehead gets all scrunched.

You're gonna get lines.

I should warn you, I'm not gonna get old with a guy who looks old.

Too late.

I'm good.

Are you sure?

Cross my heart.

- Okay, okay. Bye. - Okay.

We're not open yet.

Not even for me?

Hey.

No, no, no.

I left my house for you, put on a nice outfit.

That greeting ain't acceptable. Come again.

Hello, Queen.

Better.

Who pissed in your beer?

Still no gunshot victim showing up at the hospital.

So sad for you.

Relax, man, it will all work out.

- Things usually do for me. -

I need a favor.

I wanna meet your boss.

I got something for him. Something good.

Good for you or good for the both of us?

I ain't decide yet.
