Original subtitles

I told you to disappear.

You're under arrest.

FBI.

This was not the plan. Let her go.

I cannot believe you did this.

How could you not talk it out?

-Do you know him? -Name is Teo.

-What is he doing here? -Probably trying to kill me.

If the FBI were a private corporation...

...the agent responsible for a raid got a piece of the pie.

It's not like I'm gonna get any of the money.

How long have you guys been partners?

Are you kidding?

We're not partners.

Agent Backup just graduated...

...from our training program couple of months ago.

Wait, Agent Backup?

You're a joke.

Your entire career has been a silly string...

...of low-level bullshit and high-level failures.

What you really want is revenge on the FBI.

What are you proposing?

You raid that money before the FBI does.

We'll do all the work for you.

They escaped due to your unbelievable incompetence.

I think you are a magician.

If you skip out on me, I will find you and I will destroy you.

I know.

She still has an AOL account.

-Who does? -Lashever.

She sent the address of the nightclub...

...we're ripping off from her AOL account.

Are you gonna eat all that?

When does the FBI raid the place?

Saturday, so we only have two days.

Is it going to take that long?

I don't know. It'll take however long it takes.

I need to see Ava.

No, you don't.

She needs to know Teo lied to her.

Teo lied to her by not telling her you were arrested by the FBI.

You really want Ava to know that?

No, but she needs to know he's lying.

And how are you gonna pull that off without telling her you got arrested?

Just leave her alone.

We are stealing this money, we're giving it to Lashever...

...then we're going to pick up Jacob.

And I'm in charge, because this isn't a killing thing.

This is a stealing thing. This is my thing.

Yeah, I know.

So if we're gonna fight about me being in charge...

...I'd rather just do that now.

We were both going to prison, me for the rest of my life.

And here we are, because of you.

So whatever you say.

So now that you're not going to prison...

...you're just gonna start eating cheeseburgers?

Maybe.

-Okay? -You sure about this?

Like, 99 percent.

There's only a one percent chance...

...the money is in one of the other two places.

Agent Lashever, can I help you?

I'm here to ask you that very same question, Stroud.

How can I help you?

I'm gonna take this.

Juggling nine cases.

You know how it is.

Yeah.

Missed you at the Quantico reunion.

It was a blast.

What Quantico...?

Oh, yeah. I was busy.

Wait. You and Stroud graduated the same year?

Oh, good detection, Sherlock Rackley.

Context clues.

But he's, like, three ranks above you.

-Yeah. -Two.

It's called white male privilege, dickwad.

So, gentlemen, how is it going with the operation?

We were shorthanded as of today, now that we don't have Hayes.

Oh, you mean Agent Backup.

His name's Agent Hayes.

I think I've made his name very clear.

But seriously, what happened?

It was some hitman and his girlfriend, right?

The same hitman you tried to catch once already...

...and, oh, you let him get away again, with his girlfriend.

They didn't get away from me.

They got away from Agent Backup.

Okay.

Have you guys figured out...

...where the cash is hiding in your nightclub?

Well, you certainly can't be going into this raid blind.

Approved team agents only.

Very good, boys.

Always follow the boss's rules.

That was a test.

-I think we passed. -Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Fuck you.

So where is the money we have to steal?

In that club.

I know. I mean, where in the club?

I don't know. I'll let you know when we find it.

Lashever didn't tell you?

She doesn't know either.

It's another agent's case.

All we know is that half a million dollars...

...in illegal cash is hiding somewhere inside.

What is your plan to find it?

That is my plan, to find it.

So you have no plan?

If you're gonna be like this, I think you should stay in the car.

Why are we leaving?

Because... hold on.

Do you have my money?

It's a drag club.

Do you have a problem with alternative lifestyles?

You knew?

Why didn't you tell me?

Rose's Garden? I mean, I think it was obvious.

Look, this is never gonna work.

You can't bullshit a drag queen.

We'll never get away with it.

I'm sorry. What are you saying?

This whole thing was your idea, so you will get away with it...

...because getting away with it is your only option.

There has to be something else. Just give us another case.

What do you think this is, "Choose Your Own Adventure"?

This is the case I gave you.

So I don't care if you have to put Javier in a bustier and stilettos.

Get me my goddamn money.

I'll call you when it's done.

What's going on?

Just get back on the highway.

-Where are we going? -It's far.

Just drive.

Fast.

Obviously no one's home.

Stephen.

No.

Let me ask you a question.

What's the best makeup store in the world?

-I don't know. -In the whole world.

I don't know.

Sephora.

And that is where I met that.

Until that ran off with a stack of cash and blamed me for it.

I didn't blame it on...

Guess how many Sephoras I am now banned from?

-How many? -All of them.

Do you know where I have to work now?

-Where? -Not Sephora.

Stephen, I'm sorry.

I really didn't know they blamed it on you.

Why don't you just tell me what it is you need?

Because that's why you're here, right?

You need somethin'.

Okay, yeah.

Do you know Rose's Garden?

The drag club?

I was hoping you can help me out with a thing there.

No.

I haven't done drag in eight years.

It's not a big deal. It's a one-time thing.

I just need a real queen to get in on the inside.

If you need a queen, you need to find someone else.

Have him do it.

What? No.

He can't be a drag queen.

Why can't I be a drag queen?

Because it's not just putting on a dress.

You won't know what you're doing.

I can't believe you suggested that.

I can't believe you're still here.

Fine. I'll be the drag queen.

You're not a male, Letty.

I know. I'm a woman.

So I think I can handle pretending to be one.

You won't last one hour without gettin' read.

Queens will see right through a bitch.

Not if you help me look right.

I know you didn't throw away all your old drag stuff.

How do you know?

Look at your house. You keep everything.

You have seven staplers right there.

Look, this is not just...

I would not be doing this if I didn't have to.

This is really important.

This is about my kid.

Ten percent.

Fine.

What I mean is that if I help you and you pull this off...

...I get ten percent of whatever you're stealing from that club.

No, I know what you mean.

Deal.

Well, at least you won't have to tuck.

Come with me.

If you give him ten percent of the money, we don't have enough for Lashever.

Why did you agree to that?

Because now we're getting somewhere instead of nowhere.

Take notes.

Remember Jenny?

Oh, my God. Jenny.

How are you gonna work at Sephora...

...and you can't match your face makeup with your neck.

Fucking Jenny. I lived with her.

How long is this going to take?

-What? -Yeah.

-No, you did not. -I did. For two months.

Then she kicked me out.

'Cause you were doing meth.

No, because I wouldn't wash the dishes.

Fucking Jenny.

Maybe that should be my drag name.

But you do need a name.

First, I need to figure out my act.

Baby, even if they do give you a job...

...they're not gonna let you do your act the first night.

Oh, good. Well, one less thing to think about.

But they might put you in the group number.

I can handle that.

All right, well, try this shit on.

I'm gonna go get my sewing machine.

There's one right there.

Not that one.

Okay.

So, what do you want me to do?

What do you mean?

At the club.

You're in charge, so tell me what to do.

You do nothing.

I don't need your help. I got this.

Can you see who that is?

It's your mom.

She turned you over to the FBI.

I know, but she's not calling me.

No, thanks.

You really expect me to answer that?

She's your mom. She loves you.

Are you seriously defending her right now?

No. I am not. I just...

Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to cut people out of your life.

You might find you need them.

Things might be easier if you didn't always burn your bridges.

Well, at least I can recognize when a bridge has already been burned.

Ava will always be my sister.

In fact, if you don't need me right now, I think I'll go see if she does.

Perfect. Fine.

-I'll call you when it's done. -Good.

Gary.

I'm working in my new heels, and they were full slice...

...so you better chill with that broom.

Sorry.

And who the fuck are you?

Priscilla McCall.

I've never heard of you.

You could discover me.

Shit, girl.

Discover this.

You are in the Rose Garden.

You think you can just click your platforms three times...

...and become Lady Chablis?

I'm just asking for a shot.

I could start in the group number.

Oh, Lord.

She can start in the group number.

You see that door that says exit?

You could start outside.

Be glad you messed with me before you messed with Mickey.

Is that the owner?

Bitch, where you think you going?

Sorry, I told this bitch we ain't got no more room for another queen.

What's your name, girl?

Priscilla McCall.

You definitely got somethin' going on.

Real pretty.

But Sweetie's right.

We got more queens working here...

...than the whole history of Buckingham Palace.

That really sucks.

Hey.

Hey.

Have a seat.

Are you shittin' me?

Who are you, baby?

Keep it real.

Well, my mom would probably tell you...

...I was a real piece of shit from the get-go.

She's not wrong...

...but she wasn't around a lot, so there's that.

What else?

Dropped out of high school, started stealing stuff...

...screwed over friends, did drugs, and drank way too much.

Tried to kill myself a couple of times, but I screwed that up, too.

But when I do this...

...I get to be somebody else.

Please, I'll do anything.

We are down a bartender.

No, we're not.

Alan's out.

Had himself a little accident last night.

Fell down a flight of stairs, broke his head.

Bye, Alan.

Can you start tonight?

-I can start right now. -Great.

Sweetie, show Priscilla around.

Go.

Thank you.

You won't be disappointed.

Bar.

Other bar.

Other bar.

Stage.

The kitchen, which is just a popcorn machine and a hot plate...

...is back through here, and so is the dressing room.

Don't touch shit...

...especially not this mirror, which is mine...

...and especially not those wigs, which are Georgia O'Queef's...

...and she is one oversized cunt about her wigs.

I would be, too, if I had those wigs.

And definitely don't touch Mama Rose's shit.

I mean, look at Queen's goddamn sign.

She gets her own dressing room?

Headliners always do in the good clubs.

But you don't have to worry about any of this.

You're not gonna be back here.

All you need to worry about is how to make my Blue Curaçao Slurpee sour.

Oh, I already know how to make that.

Bullshit.

I'll make you one now.

Hey.

Please give us a few minutes.

Why is he here?

Does he work here? Why is he here all the time?

Because I want him here.

Why are you here?

He's lying to you.

I lied about him.

When he was on vacation with his girlfriend...

...I saw him going somewhere else.

Ava, I didn't tell you that part because I knew it would upset you.

And I thought Javier should tell you himself.

I thought he would call you from the place he was going...

...within a day, maybe two days at most.

I didn't know he would find some way out of there instead.

Out of where?

Out of where, Javi?

Prison. Out of prison.

Prison.

For killing people?

It was a setup.

Oh, okay. Sure.

It was all just a setup.

How are you here now?

Did you escape from this prison?

Are you a fugitive?

I never went. I made a deal.

Oh, good for you.

Why didn't you tell me when you called me?

Because I thought Teo would've already told you.

I thought it was very strange he lied to you.

Who are you to judge lying?

Maybe you should go, man.

Javi.

He's not here just for you. I can promise you that.

What a nice thing to say.

Listen to me.

I have done everything for this family, and now it's my turn.

I have my restaurant and I have Teo again.

She let me go because you forced her to.

Okay.

I won't.

Not bad.

Next time, feel free to float a little extra rum on top.

You got it.

Oh, your money's no good here.

You gonna screw Mickey over already?

No free drinks.

No. I meant, it's on me.

Okay.

Shit. I have to make a call.

Drama follow that girl around.

Where's Jacob? What happened?

Calm down. Jacob's fine.

Your text said 911.

Because you never called me back.

The last time I left you that many voicemails...

...you were on a bender that landed you...

...in the emergency room and then prison.

So you lied about there being something wrong with Jacob...

...to get me to call you back?

Well, I needed to know you were okay.

No, you don't get to know if I'm okay.

That is a right you forfeited.

I'm your mother. I'm always gonna worry about you.

No, please, don't. Ever again.

You used a family vacation to deliver the person I love to the FBI.

You are not my mother anymore.

Shit.

The owner's safe is full of guns.

What kind of guns?

I don't know. Guns.

It doesn't matter.

He obviously sells them illegally, which is why he has all this crazy money.

Did you find the money?

No. Just guns.

So I need you to buy a gun from him.

We need to take his money, not give him ours.

I know. But if you buy a gun from him, we can see where he takes the money.

Then when I steal his money, we get ours back. Okay?

So you do need my help.

Yes. Fine. I do.

How fast can you be here?

Pretty fast.

Letty?

Yeah.

Wow.

You look...

What are you doing here?

I was parked around the corner.

This whole time?

Yeah.

What about Ava?

-I didn't go. -Why?

Because...

...you have to steal 500,000 dollars from this place today.

That is different than stealing iPads.

And it's dangerous.

I...

I thought you might find that you need me.

I need a new gun anyway, since Lashever took mine.

His name is Mickey.

I'm going in that door, you go in front.

You're in charge.

Victor tried to tell me, just because the blade...

...was stuck on that lawnmower...

I need to replace the entire lawnmower.

What's that?

Paperwork I have to file to get back custody of Jacob...

...which I never should've given up in the first place.

I don't know.

You don't know.

Just because Letty messed up in the past, doesn't mean she gonna mess up again.

-That's how Letty works. -And just because Javier is a hitman...

...doesn't mean he was bad for Jacob.

I mean, it's not like if Jacob didn't eat all his green beans...

...Javier would just murder him.

He only kills people for money, and Jacob doesn't have any.

Letty was doing good with Jacob.

The only reason anything went wrong is 'cause... you tricked Javier.

Yeah.

Ding dong.

We don't recognize you.

I just started today.

From where?

What do you mean?

You're a drag queen here, but we don't know you.

Where are you from?

Charleston.

So you know Luna.

I'm gonna text her right now.

West Virginia, not South Carolina.

Charleston, West Virginia? Do they even do drag there?

I did.

What's your Insta? I wanna see.

Drink up, ladies.

On me.

Come on. You can tell me your name.

Pablo.

Pablo.

You look like a Pablo.

As opposed to what?

One of those... hippie names.

Like... Kai.

Okay. I just wanna buy a gun.

Why come to me?

I heard you're the one to come to.

From... whom?

I don't like to repeat names.

Got it.

Well, I don't like unanswered questions.

So I'm gonna ask you again.

Who sent you?

Look, let's not make this complicated.

I give you money, you give me a gun, then I leave.

This is what you do, right?

I don't need you to tell me what I do.

-Sorry. -And what is it that you do?

Are you friends with Alan?

-Don't know any Alan. -The bartender who was spying on me.

So that he could help his buddy Ricardo cut into my business.

I beat... the shit outta Alan last night.

I don't... I don't know Alan.

Then why are you here?

Who are you?

I'm a hitman.

A hitman?

Yeah.

Without a gun?

Well, that's why I'm here.

I had to leave the last gun with the last body...

...so I need a new one for the next body.

You're not...

...here to kill me, are you?

Hundreds of hours wasted...

...'cause you couldn't keep your phone charged?

He didn't leave a voicemail.

Sorry, Sir.

Problems with Justin Bieber?

His guy on the inside was a bartender named Alan...

...who got booted from the club last night...

...which Rackley didn't know until just now.

His excuse?

He was busy getting an alumni award from his fraternity, and his phone died.

Oh, millennial bullshit.

I'm sending them in with a team as soon as the club closes tonight.

Oh, great.

-Shit. -Girl, more tequila.

More tequila, more tequila.

You better not let Rose catch you pouring that tequila like it's water.

She doesn't like us to drink before we go on stage because...

-Thank you. -...somebody tripped and catapulted...

...her big ass pads into the audience.

Good thing I made a soft landing in a pile of your feathers...

...you bird-brained bitch.

I bet you made falling down look fierce.

Thank you, new bitch. I did.

Tell me about West Virginia.

Is everybody white?

It's my boyfriend.

Sorry.

I like her.

Don't hit me. I don't like her at all.

Did you do it?

Yes, but he gave me the gun for free.

I think he's trying to seduce me.

Hey.

Why didn't you do what I told you to do?

The point is, you have to pay for the gun.

He wouldn't take the money. He said the gun is a gift.

Oh, my God. We can't screw around.

I just got a text from Lashever that the FBI is raiding the place tonight.

We have to get the money and get out of here.

Just say you need another gun.

Just tell him the truth.

Tell him you're a hitman.

I did.

-You told him you're a hitman? -Yeah.

That's when he started flirting with me, just like you.

Okay.

Just go back and say you need a second gun.

But it's like a second date. It's your turn to pay.

I don't know how to flirt with a man.

The same way you flirt with me.

Why would it be any different?

Just do that thing where you cock your head to the side.

Now go back in there and be a slut.

Sorry. I... hardly know you.

I can't just let you give me a gun.

I wanna buy one.

But you have to let me pay.

But it's more fun if I get to spoil you.

Don't tell me that you've never been spoiled before.

Well...

...think of it like a second date.

You paid on the first date...

...so now it's my turn.

Anything that'll let me skip ahead to the third date faster.

I like it.

Big gun for my big hitman.

Taurus PT-92.

-Eight hundred? -Six hundred.

-I can't let... -Discount's a bribe...

...so you'll stay a little longer.

Okay.

Good.

This is Jefferson.

He's gonna make sure that you get a good seat for the show.

Hi, Jefferson.

Priscilla.

What are you doing back here, baby?

I was just trying to find some more tequila.

All the liquor is out front, so you don't need to be back here.

Okay.

I gotta say, I didn't see this coming.

You're Rose?

Respect.

I guess we're not so different.

Except for right now...

...when the difference between you and me...

...is that you're not allowed to be back here...

...and I am.

Right. Thanks.

I'm sick of all this talk about excluding women from gay bars.

-Watch. -All you ladies are welcome...

...as long as you don't ask me if your boyfriend is gay.

How should I know?

All I know is that I give better head than you do.

Took you long enough.

We got a great show for you tonight. Singin', screamin', spankin'.

For those of you sitting in the VIP seats, maybe a little face sittin'.

So sit back, drink up, and meet your queens.

Oh, I am Ruby Flare and I'm here to light a fire under your ass.

How do you say "fabulous" in Spanish?

"Fabulosa".

So it's, like, the same thing.

Can I ask you something?

Shoot.

Why do you do this? The drag?

...and a real wack job.

And I'll make you fall to your knees.

Have you ever felt lost in your own skin?

What am I talkin' about?

Of course you haven't.

I have.

Keep going.

Well, we're all born, right?

And before we can even talk...

...everyone's just decided who we are.

And most people just become that person.

We pay the bills and we shop for groceries.

We go to our uncle's wedding in Sonoma.

Even if the whole time it just feels like we're watching ourselves play a part.

Rose: But a lot of us, we can't do that.

So we lash out.

Self-destruct...

...disappoint everyone around us.

All those people with all those expectations.

But then, a very few of us, we find a way to build a whole new self.

Someone we created.

Someone we birthed.

Someone we love.

Someone other people love.

Someone fabulous.

And for me, I think that if I can create someone good...

...then that good someone must be somewhere...

...deep down inside of me, for real.

And one day, she'll take over.

Until then, if I wanna be the me that I want to be...

...I'll have to sometimes settle for being another me.

There's only one.

So what else going on tonight, bitches?

I need to use the restroom.

I'll be right back.

Yeah, you will.

Jesus Christ.

I'm Sweetie. Clap.

Are you going to watch me pee?

Mickey is Rose.

-They are the same person. -I know.

Well, if you know, why didn't you tell me?

I mean, I think it was obvious.

Okay, fine.

What is the plan?

Tell me quick. A bodyguard is waiting for me out there.

Why?

Because Rose, I mean, Mickey...

He's, she's... Mickey/Rose is holding me hostage.

So a regular first date for most women.

Okay, here's the deal.

As soon as Rose does her final number...

...and you think that the show's over, it's not.

She has an encore.

And that's when you're going to steal the money.

The street's the place to go

'Cause tonight for the first time...

Hey. You can't be back here.

For the first time in history

It's gonna start raining men

Bye, Jefferson.

It's raining men

Hallelujah

It's raining men

Amen

It's raining men

Amen

Just go with it.

Feels like

I'm standing in a timeless dream

Of light mists

Of pale amber rose

Feels like

I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent

Touching

Discovering you

Are you kidding me?

That tired blonde hair looks like ramen noodles.

Those days

Of warm rains come rushing back to me

Oh, hell...

Miles of windless...

Who let that trainin' bra on stage?

No, Ma'am.

Oh, do not throw shade at me right now.

Bitch just went out on stage.

Shared in the heat of the afternoon

Out of the stillness

Soft-spoken words

Slay, queen.

-Go, girl. -She's fine.

I love you always forever

Near and far closer together

Everywhere I will be with you

Everything I will do for you

I love you always forever

Near and far closer together

Everywhere I will be with you

Everything I will do for you

You've got

The most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen

You've got me almost melting away

As we lay there

Under a blue sky with pure white stars

Exotic sweetness

A magical time

I love you always forever

Near and far closer together

Everywhere I will be with you

Everything I will do for you

I love you always forever

Near and far closer together

Everywhere I will be with you

Everything I will do for you

Say you'll love, love me forever

Never stop, never whatever

Near and far and always And everywhere and everything

Say you'll love, love me forever

Never stop, never whatever

Near and far and always And everywhere and everything

Say you'll love, love me forever

Never stop, never whatever

Near and far and always And everywhere and everything

Say you'll love, love me forever

Never stop, never whatever

Near and far and always And everywhere and everything

I love you always forever

Near and far closer together

Everywhere I will be with you

Everything I will do for you

I love you always forever

Near and far closer together

Everywhere I will be with you

Everything I will do for you

I love you always forever

I hope that bustier is bulletproof...

...because otherwise, you're gonna die in it.

Follow me.

Do you always just do whatever the hell you want?

Honestly? Yeah.

Most of the time.

I felt for you, Priscilla McCall.

I tried to make a home for you here...

...but this shit is not gonna work out.

Boy, put your phone away.

I'm in the middle of firing you.

I'm sorry. I got it.

I'm fired. Bye.

Let go of me.

Us queens, we may throw shade all day...

...but what's the point in reinventin' ourselves...

...if we're still just gonna do our sisters wrong?

You gotta be better than that.

-Did you get the money? -Yeah.

It doesn't make any sense.

We searched everywhere, sir.

A ton of guns, but there was no money. None.

Sorry.

You douche bags have no idea what you're doing.

Sir, I... This won't happen again.

Oh, I know it won't, 'cause you're fired.

Just him, right?

Both of you.

It's okay, boys.

We can't win 'em all. You tried your hardest.

And hey, you learned a very, very valuable lesson.

Next time, maybe you'll accept guidance from your superiors when it's offered.

Meantime, I hear they're hiring mall cops down at the Asheville Pavilion.

But I wouldn't list me as a reference.

Hey.

Hey.

Fifty thousand.

I said I would be back.

I know that's what you said. I just didn't expect you to do it.

Neither did I.

What?

Hi.

Say whatever it is you need to say.

Hi.

You said that.

All I need to know is that you're gonna pick up Jacob...

...from Sean's tomorrow. That's it.

Why wouldn't I be picking Jacob up from Sean's tomorrow?

-Letty... -I'll be there.

Good.

I'm hanging up.

Bye, baby.

That was nice that you gave him the money.

I wish I could've seen you perform.

It was fun.

I was good.

You sounded good.

What?

That was just the song. I was lip-syncing.

You know what I mean.

I don't think you know what you mean.

Okay, well...

You looked great.

Thanks.

You know what? It makes sense.

The wigs, the clothes, pretending to be someone else.

It makes things easier.

But...

But I like you like this, too.

Let's go get Jacob.

We still need the 50 grand.

Yeah, but first, we have to go pick up Jacob.

You wanna pick up Jacob and then you wanna steal 50,000 dollars?

We don't have a choice.

Could be dangerous.

Not as dangerous as not picking up my kid.
