Big Sky (2020) s02e09 Episode Script

1 Previously on "Big Sky" There were two bags.
One had money and one had drugs.
Where is it? What do you want me to do with this guy? Kill him.
No, no! No! Cereal? It's my comfort food.
My mom would let me eat it when I was a good boy.
Anybody here? I got bear spray.
How could he have escaped?! I don't know.
I'm gonna find him before he does any damage.
I believe this belongs to you.
Jag, meet Stone.
- Jag is here to - Oversee.
That's not how I'd put it.
Where is the money? I have a hunch.
Any update on the fingerprint job I gave you? Got prints off the coffee cup.
State has the key chain from Harvey's crime scene.
Waiting on them to compare.
- Give them a nudge, will you? - I'm on it.
Where's the money, Maxie? Why don't you put down the wrench? Did you come for my daughter? Tell her to stop looking for me.
Son of a bitch! Phoebe? Phoebe? Hello, Ronald.
What the hell? Dad? Are you still there? Hello? The police are almost there.
Are you still with me? Are you still there? Clear.
- Cassie? - Clear.
Cassie? Cassie.
Okay, come on.
Come here.
Give me a hand! Whoa, whoa.
I got you.
- Come on.
- No.
- Wait - Come on.
Let's get you home.
Let's get you home.
Joseph didn't go down without a fight.
Yeah.
There's been a couple reports of meth heads breaking into local businesses.
Back door lock was tampered with, so that might be what we're looking at.
Doesn't seem like anything was taken.
And there's nothing of value here to begin with.
Well, a meth head wouldn't know that, and crime of opportunity escalated.
I'll have Denise do an inventory.
Maybe somebody was looking for a file.
Or maybe Joseph wasn't the original target.
What, you think someone wanted to hurt Cassie? Could be.
What was she working on? She was circling the cartel.
If someone wanted to leave a message I'll park a car outside her place around the clock.
Thanks.
Damn it.
Here we are.
We've got goats and chickens and dogs that come when you call.
It's our own little, private slice of heaven.
She looks scary.
Oh, that's just a trick of the light.
How about a nice cup of cocoa? You can put as many marshmallows in it as you want.
I want to see my mom.
Of course you do.
She's waiting for you.
Are you bad people like Ronald? No, Phoebe.
We're good people.
Isn't that right, Aggie? The best people in the world.
Now, come.
Let's go see your mother.
You have made a mess, Ronald.
A real mess.
Time to fix it all up.
Your mother's in here.
- Oh, Phoebe! - Mom! Oh, my God! Thank you! Thank you! Where's Ronald? Wolf's taking care of him.
Hi.
Come here.
Let me see you.
Your hair's longer.
The bad man hurt Ronald.
I'm sure Ronald will be just fine.
Are they going to hurt me? No.
No, they're not.
Because you're with your mom now, and I'm never going to let anyone separate us ever again.
I'm gonna get us out of here.
Hey.
Love you.
I know you do.
I miss Grandpa.
Come here.
I miss him, too, baby.
Why did someone want to hurt him? I don't know.
Are you gonna catch them? Yeah.
I promise.
I know you can do it, Mommy.
Something really bad happened at the dojo last night.
That woman knows we have her money.
What did you tell your teacher? I lied to him about what's going on.
Good.
I think he can help us.
Okay.
I'm telling Mom and Dad.
They'll know what to do.
Uh, no.
You absolutely cannot do that.
So your sensei's gonna save us? We just can't tell Mom and Dad.
We can still fix this.
When you get to your house, you tell your mother you slept at a friend's, and you don't say a single word about this, not to your mother, not to anyone.
Let's go.
You're gonna show me where the money is.
Come on.
No, I told you.
It's in Madison's room.
- Well, you're coming with me.
- No! Listen.
I get the money and I'm out of your life forever.
That's what you've always wanted, right? Come on.
Come on.
Pipe wrench found near Joseph? Wiped clean.
No prints.
- Not even Joseph's.
- And the door handle? Door lock jimmied, amateur in nature, but again, no prints.
And the blood work? So far, only Cassie's dad, but I got the lab analyzing digital samples.
Report back as soon as you get word.
You got it.
What? I want to keep a tight circle on this.
What if there's a connection to the syndicate? Trooper Dewey had Cassie under surveillance.
It's not a terrible theory, but at this point, everything's still on the table.
Look, we both know that was not a random break-in.
And so we need to be extra careful in case this is the work of the syndicate.
- I am done being careful.
- Hey.
I need you to have a clear head here, Jenny.
Don't tell me how to do my job.
I'm just trying to make sure you're not jumping to conclusions, all right? How's Cassie doing? Not well.
Yeah.
We gotta get her some answers.
I'm gonna start with every security camera on that block.
You'll have the warrant before lunchtime.
Thank you.
Where's Scarlet? She's with Phoebe.
I hope you're gonna do what we discussed.
I need to talk to him first.
Talk to him? Why? I said I'll take care of it.
I will take care of it.
Everything will be fine.
Everything is not fine, Wolf.
- Ronald killed a man.
- I know that! I've never put an animal down this size.
I don't know the correct dose.
A killing dose.
That's all you need.
Do it.
Or I will.
- Hello? - Hi, Bridger! You know who this is, right? Uh uh, no.
Word of advice, kid.
Leave the lying to the professionals.
So, how do you want to do this? "I would like my money, pretty please, with sugar on top," or did you want the alternative with missing limbs and dead parents? I already told you.
I-I don't have your money.
Do you really want me to come back to your house? I guess it could be fun.
Big family dinner, then a little murder party.
You don't want to do that.
Why, you gonna hide behind Sensei Porkchop again? - I gotta go.
- Yeah, you do.
Look, kid, however you want to do this, you got 24 hours.
Let's go.
We have to give her the money.
No way.
No.
- Where the hell is it?! - I don't know! Call Max and Harper.
- Tell them to come over now! - Okay, okay! We're so screwed.
Hey! Where is Phoebe?! I am talking to you! - Where is Phoebe?! - Of course you are.
I just wanted my family together.
I was coming right back to the ranch.
Yet you didn't.
You had to make a little pit stop.
It's all over the news.
I didn't mean to hurt him.
Right, you just wanted to love him to death with that wrench, isn't it? He came after me.
Why? Why were you even there?! You know why.
Yes.
It's nature.
Not nurture.
But you have betrayed my trust for the last time.
Look, j-j-just let me out of here.
We'll go away, and - and w-we'll never come back again.
- No.
No, I can't do that.
There are no more mulligans.
No more do-overs.
The only question now is how? In each spiritual journey, there's a vigil.
Take tonight, think about what you've done, and tomorrow, I want to hear about every victim who they were and where they are.
Tell the truth and you'll get the sweet sleep of modern medicine.
Lie to me, and you will feel every last gasp of breath.
No.
Please.
Please, no.
Please.
I have changed.
No! Please! Please! - What was she thinking? - I don't know.
How could you? I-I wanted to call you, but T-Lock didn't let me take my phone.
I texted as soon as I could.
You broke into our house.
- T-Lock made me.
- Right.
Okay, you guys, let's just calm down.
It's not like Max had a choice.
This is so messed up.
Why can't we just let T-Lock take the fall for this? I mean, we really don't have the money anymore.
It's someone else's problem now.
That somebody's me! This is my problem! She threatened to kill our family.
- For real? - Yeah.
- This is your fault.
- Hey, come on.
You're not the only one whose life was threatened.
How are we supposed to believe that? Because I'm your friend.
And I-I don't even know where Tracy is right now.
We can just tell this woman that he has her money.
You have no idea what she's capable of.
I can't believe you, Max.
I need help.
I just I just need to tell someone.
I can't I can't do this, guys.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
Max, wait! Where do you want me to start? Stone or the Bhullars? Well, first, let's see if Stone did what I told him to do.
Is there a dead man in there? Nope.
Just rats, and no T-Lock.
Go on.
Kill one, for old time's sake.
I find killing small things helps focus the mind.
Just find Stone.
What the hell are you doing? Well, I called you twice.
I'm not gonna just use the front door.
- I was in the shower.
- Yeah, I can see that.
What's up? I heard about Cassie's father.
How's she doing? Cassie's numb as you can imagine.
And you? - Me? - Yeah.
Nothing else matters until we find out who did this.
Okay.
What's the going theory? Don't have much.
Maybe Ren Bhullar.
She and Cassie were butting heads.
Was thinking of starting there.
Yeah.
Ren didn't do it.
That sounds definitive.
No, it's just not her style.
And besides, I'm with her now, so Meaning? Meaning I would know.
Okay.
Um maybe Dietrich? Cassie did point a gun at him.
Mm, no.
I don't see that, either, though.
So you have all the answers here? I'm sorry.
I'm just I mean, maybe it's a possibility.
I know I'm grasping.
It's Cassie we're talking about, so Yeah, no, I get it.
Look, I-I'm, uh I'm gonna talk to Dietrich, okay? - Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
You sure you're okay? You wanna You want me to stick around? And do what? I mean, well, I can think of about five things right off the top.
Mm.
I think Hmm? I gotta wake up early.
Hmm.
Dad didn't give you enough allowance to get your own dinner? Bridger Ryan.
Ring a bell? All-American kid, dabbles in karate, and stealing from our family.
I'm just curious as to why you're dragging your feet.
- You gone soft? - Go ahead.
Kill a kid.
See how that goes.
If you don't have the balls to do it, have your lap dog Donno do it.
Set an example so we can get out of Montana.
- This place has opportunities.
- You know better.
Dad's never gonna let you set up shop here.
Profit margins on the real estate, transit lines, proximity to the border this place is it.
But you know what's gonna get us run out of town? Murdering a kid in broad daylight.
A kid with a very sympathetic white face that you know is gonna get on national news.
A kid whose parents are lawyers and have resources to hire a private investigator like Cassie Dewell, who is already making my life a living hell.
So, what you think is me being soft is me being smart, Jag.
I'm not gonna let you ruin what I'm setting up here.
You don't get it.
You can make $20 million down here and it doesn't matter.
You don't matter.
You're a porcelain doll on a shelf, but you know what happens when you screw this up and you inevitably will it falls on me.
Dad is gonna blame me for your mistakes just like he always does, so know your place and take care of business.
Or I will.
You know what's sad? I'm smarter than you.
Go ahead, laugh.
But Mom knew it.
You know what she said right before she died? She told me that you and Dad were never gonna be able to acknowledge it, but I know you know it's true, and it kills you.
I'm gonna call Dad.
Of course you are.
Inside every bite is a memory, a time when everything was okay.
That comfort is always within reach.
It lives forever, inside every box of Cocoa Chunks.
And pour a bowl, just one bite Now everything's gonna be all right Start your morning with Cocoa Chunks, made with real chocolate Everything okay? I want to go home.
This place is stranger than Aunt Mary's.
We will, honey.
Mommy just needs to think for a moment.
She needs you to be brave, okay? I made you something to eat.
Thank you.
Hey.
When can I speak to Ronald? - In time.
- Agatha, please.
Phoebe is an innocent child.
At least let her out of this room.
Don't talk to me about innocence.
You have jeopardized everything we've built.
What is Wolf going to do? What's fair.
Bad dogs face bad consequences.
Good night, Phoebe.
I'm sorry, Aggie.
The experiment is over, Wolf.
You must put Ronald down.
Kill him.
You have partners, remember? If they get wind of this, they will kill all of us.
I can handle Milton.
No, you can't.
You need to do what needs to be done.
I'll do it after our final session tomorrow.
And Scarlet? What about her? I've seen inside her.
Into her soul.
And it is ugly and black as night.
Just pl Scarlet What about Phoebe? We will raise Phoebe.
A child needs her mother.
Scarlet is not a fit mother.
We brought in two monsters.
We thought we could fix them and we failed.
It's time for them to be removed from the world so they can't do any more harm.
This, um, violence towards women it's something Rick would do.
Then leave her to me.
You deal with Ronald, and we we will pick up the pieces.
I don't know.
It seems completely unrelated.
Only two doors down.
Same amateurish lock-break.
They smashed a window and grabbed cash out of the safe.
Nothing was wiped down.
Totally different MO.
One thing I know about meth heads they like sugar and shiny objects.
Yeah, like staplers.
Not a single stapler missing.
Denise's sugar bowl, no one even touched it.
- She's got the good stuff.
- That RV.
I recognize it from the security footage.
It's been sitting there for a while.
Yeah? Next up is the boot.
Ever tell you about the guy I caught trying to cut the boot off? 126 unpaid tickets.
Just run the plates, please.
Copy that.
My parents, they'd freak.
A-And my friends I don't know if I can trust them anymore.
You've been carrying a heavy burden.
I'm scared.
- Help me.
- First thing you're gonna do is wipe "scared" from your vocab.
There's no place for it.
Okay, but w-what am I gonna do? We're going full Chuck Norris.
Okay, yeah.
We're gonna fight him.
No.
You got two lawyers for parents.
You tell them everything, have them threaten legal action.
The truest offense.
I can't tell my parents.
Just remember unconditional love.
That's what your parents have for you.
Confide in them, and they will protect you.
If you want, I can be there when you do.
Thank you, Sensei.
You got this.
Hang back.
I'll deal with this.
Good afternoon.
I'm sorry.
We're closed for my lunch break.
Oh, it'll just be a moment.
We're looking for Bridger Ryan.
- I don't know who that is.
- Sorry? I'm having a hard time hearing you through the glass.
I don't know who that is, and we're closed.
As in not open.
You're welcome to come back another time.
Another time? Okay.
No! Bridger.
Is that you, buddy? We need to have a chat.
See, I owe you an apology on behalf of my sister.
No need to be afraid.
Dhruv, no! We need him alive to tell us where the money is.
Okay, I got you chicken noodle soup.
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
I know, but you've been planning your dad's funeral nonstop.
You need to eat something.
What can you tell me? You promised.
Look, Cassie, you don't need to worry about the investigation.
You just need to get some rest.
I promise, the minute I hear anything, I'm gonna let you know.
- Hey.
- Glad you're here.
Maybe you can get her to eat.
Come in.
Hey, I'm gonna check in with you later.
Okay.
Hey.
Hi.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm glad you're here.
You wanna sit? Sure.
Do you have any idea what happened? Yeah, I think someone was looking for me.
What? Someone like Ronald Pergman? What? What are you saying? It's probably nothing.
No, tell me.
Wolf Legarski's ranch.
When I was there, I saw a box of cereal Cocoa Chunks.
Yeah.
I know, it sounds like nothing, but then I remembered I saw the same type of cereal at this cabin Ronald might have been hiding out at.
He's been off the grid for a long time.
Why I mean, why risk it? Why now? I don't know.
Yeah.
Maybe I'm reaching.
I I just I had a feeling at Legarski's ranch, and I have not been able to shake it.
I'm telling you, something is off up there.
Sorry.
You have got a lot on your plate.
I just want you to know I'm gonna pursue this.
Whatever I find, I'll tell you.
If you want me to.
You find Stone? Not yet.
Staked out his place and that trailer where the Bhullars talk shop.
He'll show.
Like I said.
Hey, D.
How you doin'? Doin' well.
Follow me.
Where you been? Where I been, I been handlin' that thing you asked me to.
Mm, T-Lock.
He didn't give you anything? No.
You took him to the hole and he said nothing? Okay, he asked for forgiveness.
For what? For his nickname.
I don't know.
You know what is really funny, though? Hmm? Is that I killed a man, and then I get hassled by cops for a murder that I didn't do.
What murder's that? That PI that drew down on you the other night? Yeah, her father just got killed.
You You get questioned, or ? No.
No reason to, and I don't know anything about that.
But I do know about you, Stone.
You're a traitor.
Going to the Bhullars behind my back.
- Okay, whoa, whoa, Dietrich.
- Huh? It's not what you think, man! It's not what you think! Maddie, are you here? In here, Bridger.
Your sister told us everything.
Dad? Now, you need to tell me exactly who was involved, who di - Hey.
Hey.
- I messed up.
I messed up so bad.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey.
Everything's gonna be okay.
We're gonna take care of this.
How? We'll figure something out.
Hey, you run the plates on the RV yet? Yeah, registered to a guy about 10 miles out of town.
Reported stolen from a gas station.
Let's pull the gas station surveillance video.
Already on it, but there's something else.
What? State compared the prints you sent in, the ones from the coffee cup and the key chain from Harvey's crime scene.
- And? - Yeah, well, they're a match.
Okay.
- Wow.
- Yeah, I know.
Hey, you really think some kids got the drop on Harvey? Only one way to find out.
There are two kids here to see you in the lobby.
What are the odds? Ready when you are.
All right, let me just finish up on the computer.
Hey.
Um we need your help.
We did something wrong.
Come on.
My office.
We'll sit down and talk about it.
I can't believe he's gone.
If you need any help with Kai, just say the word.
My Aunt Cathy's gonna take him home with her.
I can't risk him being here.
Not without knowing who did this and why.
Almost everyone I love is gone.
Whoever did this, I'm gonna get them.
Whatever you need to do I got your back.
Her eyes are so pretty.
I know.
She has cute eyes.
Good morning.
Pack your bags.
We'll have breakfast, and then you'll be free to go on your way.
Okay, um, and Ronald? He'll be there, too.
Phoebe, I was wondering if you might want to pick some fruit for our morning meal, hmm? Go ahead, honey.
It's okay.
I'll meet you in the garden.
Good.
Hyah! Would you help me in the kitchen? One last meal? Sure.
After you.
No! No! Aah! You are an unfit mother! Aah! No! I'm a good mother.
Scarlet.
- We need to hurry.
- Where's Wolf? We're getting out of here, okay? I knew you would come for me.
What the hell? Aah! Don't touch her! It's over, Ronald! Aah! You wouldn't listen! Ronald! I tried to save you.
Aah! It ends now, Ronald! No.
No, no.
Aah! Oh, my God.
Are you okay? - We gotta go.
- No, not yet.
It's not over until I say it's over.
