(insects buzzing)
[Bill] Is that everything?
Si, senor.
You're new to this sort
of thing, aren't you?
Me?
Well, I'm looking at you, aren't I?
Yes, sir, Mr. Wilson.
This is his first time-
(Felix speaks in Spanish)
Easy, easy. No need to
pitch such a hissy fit.
I'm only he asking 'cause I
haven't seen you here before.
I can speak for myself.
Of course.
What's your name, mijo?
Mi llamo Felix.
You hombres have any idea
how long I've been doing
this right here, this border exchange?
No, senor.
Well, I've been doing it long enough.
Shit, long enough to know how them coolers
are supposed to look
whenever we leave here,
and unfortunately they
don't look like that.
(dramatic music)
[Eduardo] Hey.
There's no need to get your britches
in a bunch there, vato.
You'll take out one of us at most
before my men fill you with bullets
and your amigo here gets his
throat cut for no reason.
Let's not let that happen.
All right?
You drop your gun, I'll let you go.
All three of you.
Just a small error in the delivery load.
We'll make up for it on the next shipment.
Ain't no sweat off my back, hombre.
(tense music)
(insects buzzing)
(knife slices)
(Eduardo thuds)
(hit thuds)
(gun cocks)
(gunshot fires)
Yeah.
Damn thief.
(tense music)
(insects buzzing)
Don't worry, mijo. I'm
not going to kill ya.
I need you to tell Rodrigo
exactly what happened here.
Comprende?
And also tell him to
be a little more strict
on the men he hires.
Tell him I said that.
What's your name?
Diego.
Diego.
It's for the trip back home.
Don't worry, vato.
You might just get a
promotion out of this.

(Jordan scoffs)
(audience chattering)
(subway train whooshing)
(tracks rattling)
(tense orchestral music continues)
How'd it go?
Not too bad. Same old, same old.
Any trouble?
Not nothing that I couldn't handle.
Now you go on to bed, honey.
I'll be in as soon as we're through.
(tense orchestral music continues)
(audience applauding)
(audience cheering)
(gunshot fires)
Hold it, or the next one
might be too close for comfort.
Well, Sheriff.
I believe you're trespassing
on private property.
I thought there was
something off about you, Bill.
Ah, stay right where you
are, against the wall.
But I gave you the benefit of the doubt.
I thought you were a good man.
I respected you.
Come to find out you're
all hat and no cattle.
And I don't take kindly to
being deceived like that,
made a fool of.
There's no damn way that I'm gonna let you
get away with this.
Not right under my own damn nose.
Yeah, just maybe you getting too old
for this job, Sheriff.
What gave me away?
I busted many a man over the years
with that same kind of weed.
I recognized the smell
when we were over here
last month for dinner.
Put two and two together and here we are.
And here we are.
Look, how about let's make a deal?
(shotgun pumps)
I don't want anyone to get hurt
for no good reason at all tonight.
I'm sure you don't want that, either.
(Bill sighs)
I've been around this town
many a year and you know that.
But I'll pack it all up tonight.
Leave.
Never come back.
But all you have to do
is walk away, Morris.
Think about Janine.
You, you don't wanna leave
her all alone, do you?
And for crying out loud,
don't you want to be
around for them grandkids?
Don't throw it all away.
You'll never see me again.
Can't. It's not the way it goes.
I have a duty to this town.
It's what I signed up for.
There's no changin' that.
Sheriff Morris. I need backup at 210-
(gunshot fires)
(Sheriff Morris thuds)
(tense music)
(Sheriff Morris whimpers)
And I have a duty to my business,
and that's not changin', either.
(gunshot fires)
[Jordan] As long as it
has that one move you do.
I love that move.
Oh really?
Oh, okay. Which one is that?
It's like the, uh, I
know what it's called.
It's the jumpy thingy.
The double Parmesan or something.
The double Parmesan?
Did you mean Pas de chat?
Uh, yeah, sure.
Definitely.
Show me.
Okay, all right.
Wow.
Stunning.
Thank you, thank you.
(Sydney laughs)
Oh, man.
What are you thinking about?
What?
That face.
That's the face you make
when you're thinking about something.
Nothin'.
Jordan.
Seriously, I'm just
thinking about your show.
Oh, right, whatever. (Chuckles)
No, I'm serious. Tell me what it is.
Okay.
I'll tell you, on one condition.
What's that?
You have to marry me first.
Are you serious?
(gentle orchestral music)
Have you guys picked a date yet?
Sydney?
I'm sorry.
What did you say?
Have you guys picked a date yet?
You literally asked
me that like yesterday.
Okay, sorry. I'm excited.
My best friend's getting married.
You gotta let it soak in first.
Anyway, there's just
way too much to consider
before we can actually settle on a date.
Oh, like if you
actually wanna marry him?
I definitely want to marry him.
That is not something I have to consider.
I'm kidding.
Oh, did you ask him about Saturday?
Yes.
He's already going to the
game this weekend with Marcus.
I swear that's like the
third time he's backed out.
I know. I'm sorry.
Are you sure you wanna
be married to a man
who's desperate to watch
sports every waking moment?
Oh my god, you're right.
Do you think I'm making a big mistake?
(Amber laughs)
It's not too late to back out, is it?
(police siren wailing)
(indistinct police radio chatter)
Bill? What the hell happened?
It was Morris.
- Oh, shit.
- Cooper, he almost had me.
Now I thought you and I had an agreement.
I'm sorry, Bill. I tried
to keep him off your trail.
I was the first to respond
to his request for backup
and I took care of it.
Now nobody else has to
know anything about it.
I guess this sort of thing
was bound to happen sooner or later
(indistinct police radio chatter)
I'll have my men take care of
the body and the vehicle, too.
You just make sure to
keep this thing hushed.
Reckon I'm gonna have to find
a new place to secure my product,
being this one has been compromised now.
You just make sure to do your part
and I will see to it that
you'll be the next sheriff.
Yes, sir.
(tense music)
(food sizzling)
[News Reporter] Last
week in Callahan County,
the body of Sheriff Anthony Morris
was found on the outskirts of Clyde.
This morning brings us the
latest in the investigation,
revealing the fingerprints
found on the gun
belonged to Felix Fernando Garcia,
an illegal immigrant from Mexico.
Authorities have yet to make an arrest
due to his unknown whereabouts.
But the hunt continues as
this county seeks justice.
(insects buzzing)
(Bill sighs)
You like it here?
- It won't happen again-
- No.
No, I'm just curious.
Do you like living here?
Yes sir, I do.
I see.
And you have a beautiful home.
Lots of land.
Exactly what I promised you, right?
Yes, sir.
And I'm thankful.
I know you are.
Look, Lobo, what happened
the other day, I've got it-
Do you have any rattlesnakes out here?
Debra killed one just the
other day out there by the tank.
They're out there moving, all right.
Some of the Indian tribes,
they warn their children
they're gonna get bit if
they don't follow tradition.
Don't reckon I've
ever heard that before.
My old man, he used to
remind me every summer.
He'd say, "Hot days are rolling in
and keep an eye out for 'em."
The whole rest of the year,
you don't think twice about 'em
until you see that first
rattlesnake of the year.
Then you start to worry.
You start to worry they're
gonna come outta nowhere
and ruin your day.
I don't like that feeling, Bill.
(insects buzzing)
(soft dramatic music)
(soft dramatic music continues)
Everybody listen up.
Can I have your attention, please?
I really hate to be the one
to have to tell you this,
but starting today,
all rehearsals and performances
are canceled until further notice.
[Dancer] What?
This may be hard for
some of you to hear,
especially those of you who've
been with us for many years.
You've put your best selves forth
and we're so very proud of
the work you've done here.
We are doing our best
to resolve the issue...
(melancholy orchestral music)
I'm so sorry, Sydney.
It took me so long to get
cast in a company out here.
Three years. I remember.
And now I don't know when
I'm gonna get to dance again,
just like that.
Sydney, you shouldn't have
to stop you from dancing.
It's just there's plenty of other
production companies out there
who would love to have you.
I just...
I can't, I can't do that so suddenly.
What if I do commit to something
else and then they reopen?
It's not a guarantee that
I'll get my spot back.
But you said it would
take several months.
They didn't say it was
gonna take that long.
They said it possibly...
It might.
Okay, so...
What if it never reopens?
You don't wanna just sit
around and wait forever.
I hear you.
Okay, I know. I know those things.
I guess I just need a
little more time with it.
I love this city.
I'm exactly where I dreamed I would be.
But right now I really,
really hate it here.
This makes me think
of the Christmas performance last year.
I remember watching and
being so transfixed by you.
But I think it was because I could tell
you weren't just there to perform.
Look, Sydney...
You dance because there is nothing else
you would rather be doing.
And you have that.
And I knew when I watched you that night
that I could watch you do that forever.
And I want to.
I also remember you
seeing me in the audience,
even though I told you I wasn't
gonna be able to make it.
And I thought to myself,
how does she manage to
do all of that dancing
and still keep an eye out for me?
What do you say we get outta here?
- Out of the apartment?
- New York.
My parents still have that
house in Texas where I grew up.
They never did sell it after we moved out.
Big house out in the country,
lots of space, lots of sunshine.
It might be nice to get
away for a few weeks.
What do you think, boy?
Hm?
(Jordan chuckles)
What do you say?
Gone are the good days
When my mind was made
up, my mind was made up
The wind comes for all of us one day
And takes the things we call home
Hold on to memories
'Cause the lingering clouds
won't let the sun through
The wind came for me that one day
And took the things I call home
(acoustic indie music)
(singer vocalizing)
[Jordan] I haven't
been here since I was 14.
(Sydney exhales)
Come here, boy.
I have like zero bars.
(Jordan laughs)
I told you.
You gotta get on a special
kind of cellular plan
to get service out here.
Welcome to the boondocks.
Yeehaw.
(Sydney chuckles)
Smells kind of weird, but,
I mean, it's so spacious.
It's crazy.
- It does smell weird.
I can't imagine what this
would cost in New York.
I know.
[Sydney] Why won't your parents sell it?
It's complicated.
My grandpa on my mom's
side, he lived here with us,
and when he passed away, we moved.
My mom couldn't stand to
be reminded of him here
and now she can't bring
herself to sell the place.
She still hasn't moved
out all his stuff, so...
(gentle music)
Well, we just need to pick up
some groceries, but, oh man,
we should be good for a while.
Who's a good boy?
(camera clicks)
(tarp whooshing)
Is this thing even gonna start?
I guess we'll find out.
(Sydney chuckles)
Shit.
[Sydney] Hey, who's that?
I don't know.
It's a private road.
[Sydney] Maybe they're lost?
Maybe.
(truck engine rumbling)
(insects buzzing)
[Sydney] Can I drive?
[Jordan] Sure, if you
think you can handle it.
[Sydney] This ain't my first rodeo.
[Jordan] Stop.
(gentle music)
[Hoffman] Ma'am.
- What is it?
- Your wife, boss.
(tense music)
(baseball bat thuds)
Oh yeah. (Chuckles)
You wanna try?
Feels good.
[Sydney] No curve balls.
All right. Gonna
release some anger, okay?
I want you to imagine this
is the guy who wants to shut
down your dance company.
Okay, that's his face.
Whack it.
Don't hit me, though.
There you go. Okay.
Ready?
- Mm-hm.
[Jordan] All right.
Okay, okay. No, no, no.
It's been a while.
One more, one more.
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Okay.
- All right.
Focus up.
Ready?
- Yeah.
(bat thuds)
[Jordan] Oh!
(window shatters)
- Oh!
- Oh!
All right.
I am so sorry. I did
not mean to do that.
No, it's okay, it's okay,
it's just an old shed.
[Sydney] Okay.
I'm surprised you hit the ball.
Okay, you do it, then,
since it's so easy.
Mm-hm.
- Show you how it's done.
What you got?
What you got, big lady, huh?
Come on.
I'm ready for ya.
(ball thuds)
Whoa!
I don't freakin' think so.
(Sydney laughing)
No way, no. Absolutely not.
[Sydney] Put me down. Put me down!
(bucket thuds)
(Jordan grunts)
Jesus.
(Sydney sighs)
[Sydney] You knocked over the baseballs.
Think there's a glove in the house
if you wanna play catch.
Nah, enough baseball.
Okay. What do you wanna do?
Let's do something we
couldn't do back in New York.
Like what?
(gunshot fires)
Nice.
- Like this?
- Yeah, pull it back.
Then down. Good.
All right.
(Sydney exhales)
Take two nice breaths.
Middle of the second one,
just squeeze that trigger,
nice and gentle.
(gunshot fires)
Nice, babe.
(Sydney chuckles)
Wow.
I did play paintball
one time with my brother
and his friends for his
13th birthday party.
I had a huge crush on his
best friend at the time.
[Jordan] Oh, yeah?
I was trying so hard to impress him.
Let me guess, that
uh, it didn't work out.
Mm, no way.
I completely lost interest in him
the second he was the first
one to land a shot on me.
It hurt so bad.
I literally, I had a big bruise
on my arm for like a week.
Well, in his defense,
I probably would've
done the same thing if I were him.
Boys don't really know
how to flirt at that age.
Obviously.
Well, I mean, he's married
now and he's got two kids
so I guess he figured it out. (Chuckles)
All right, I am out.
You sure you don't wanna come?
Nah, I'm gonna stay in. I'm almost done.
Are you sure?
That's kind of depressing.
And watching a baseball
game alone at a bar isn't?
Hm.
Touche.
(Sydney chuckles)
I love you.
- Love you, too.
(truck starts up)
(television chattering)
[Isaac] Are you shittin' me?
I'm just glad he didn't
make me deal with it.
Why? You scared of your own uncle?
He just, he expects a lot from me.
That's why I was able
to bring you in on this.
He's starting trust me more and more.
Derrick, ain't that a good thing?
I don't know. I don't wanna
be doing this kind of stuff.
You're trying to get out?
I don't think I can.
(Isaac laughs)
Look, I was trapped into this.
I didn't have a choice.
At first I thought it was what I wanted,
but the first opportunity
I see to get out of here,
I'm gone.
I'm taking it.
Hell Derrick, I ain't got a problem
taking your place whatsoever.
The more Bill trusts me,
the more of this I get.
I can't promise anything.
There's no way in hell
my uncle would let me
out of his reach with
that kind of information.
And even if he did, Lone Lobo would never
let me leave alive.
I'd constantly be looking over my shoulder
for the rest of my life.
Lone Lobo. You know
how whack that sounds?
[Derrick] I know. No one knows his name.
It's just what we've always called him.
No disrespect, but
you telling me my boss
is shaking in his boots 'cause Mufasa
or whoever the hell is coming
to pick up some fancy pot?
You see why it's hard for me to...
(tense music)
Shit, shit, shit, shit.
(keys thuds)
(hit thuds)
(Jordan grunts)
[Isaac] Hey, hey, hey,
hey. Who the hell are you?
[Jordan] No one!
(hits thudding)
(Jordan grunting)
I'm gonna ask you one
last time, young man.
What's your name?
It's Jordan. I'm Jordan.
All right, Jordan.
I don't know what you heard,
but you ain't hear shit tonight,
and ain't shit coming out your mouth,
you understand that, young man?
It won't. It won't, it won't.
You saw nothing, you heard nothing.
You had too much to drink.
You're drunk, you understand that?
I didn't see anything.
(tense music)
Hey Derrick, I got something for his ass.
[Jordan] No, no, no, no.
(hit thuds)
(Jordan grunts)
(Jordan groaning)
- Let's go.
- Come on.
(Jordan panting)
Hey buddy, you okay?
You want me to call the police?
(Jordan grunting)
You sure you gonna be okay?
(Jordan grunting)
(truck starts up)
Did you try the light
switch? It wasn't working?
No, I didn't think it was
gonna be that big of a deal
until I missed the first step
and literally tumbled all
the way down the stairs.
That is so stupid. Did you
tell someone to get that fixed?
I mean imagine if it
was just a poor old man
just trying to find the bathroom.
- Right.
- Same thing happened to him.
But they know about it now.
It's no big deal. It's just an accident.
(Sydney sighs)
But still.
I'm fine.
Okay?
Really.
Well, I'm glad it happened to you
and not some sweet old man.
(Jordan chuckles)
Yeah, me too.
Okay, I'm gonna go get
something for the pain.
Okay.
(tense music)
Hardly muttered a single word to me.
He just hobbled over to
his truck and drove off.
An old looking Dodge, I think it was.
And I know he just got his
rear end handed to him,
so maybe he wanted to hold on
to what little pride he
had left and walk it off,
but it just looked as if
he was hiding something.
I didn't like the look of it, Deputy.
Now, I ain't no bonafide detective,
but I've seen my fair share of television
and I'd reckon that
Wilson boy and his friend
threatened him to keep his mouth shut
about something or another.
Derrick Wilson, you said?
Yes, sir, that's right.
So I tried.
I punch in 1234,
and the gate opens just like that.
Yeah.
You should have seen
the look on Roy's face
when I tell him I got it on the first try.
Melvin, let me call you back.
Good morning, Bill. I uh,
I wasn't expecting you.
How's your wife?
Cooper, I'm sorry but I just really
don't have the time for
small talk right now.
Sure, sure. What can I do for you?
Well, I don't know if you're aware,
but we have some visitors
in town this week.
Jordan Price and his cute little fiancee.
Well, what's the problem?
Have they caused some trouble?
The problem, Cooper,
is that he's a Price
and he's staying at the Price
House for no telling how long.
Now, we have a mutual friend.
He's coming to town to see me this week.
And Cooper, he is not one to reschedule.
Shit.
Yeah.
I need that lovely couple gone.
Well Bill, there's
only so much I can do.
I can't just run 'em out of town.
There's gotta be some legal precedent.
Some cause that I need to act on.
(Bill sighs)
Cooper, you know, you
really seem to enjoy
playing this sheriff part.
I'd like to keep it
that way, wouldn't you?
Yes, sir.
(knocking on door)
Cooper, need a word with you.
Sutton, now is not a good time.
It's all right. We
were just finishing up.
Cooper, just take care
of that issue quickly
before he gets here.
Yes, sir.
(indistinct police radio chatter)
Sutton, what the hell is wrong with you?
That was Mr. Wilson that
you just interrupted.
Why are you asking
questions about his nephew?
Well, turns out he was involved
in that bar fight last night,
so I'm checking out his background
to find out who the other
guy was he had with him.
Look, I am not interested
in any drunken bar fight.
I want you to stop digging into things
without my permission.
You need to give up on Derrick Wilson
and if I ever catch you digging
in on Bill Wilson again,
I will have your badge
faster than all get out.
Do you understand me, Deputy?
Yes, sir.
(gentle music)
(insects buzzing)
(glove thuds)
(gentle music continues)
(knocking on door)
Hi, there.
Hi.
I heard we had some new faces in town
and thought I'd come by
and introduce myself.
I'm Debra Wilson.
- Oh, I'm Sydney Newman.
Do you live close by?
No, I'm on the other
side of town, actually.
Oh, gosh. Thank you so much for...
You didn't have to drive
all the way out here.
That's really kind.
Oh, sweetheart. It's nothing really.
We haven't seen anyone out here for years.
Yeah, it's actually my
fiance's parents' house.
They own it. They moved
out a long time ago.
It's lovely, it's lovely.
No one is ever out in this area.
Are they here? I'd love to meet them.
No, actually, it's just Jordan and I.
Yeah, he's in the back room resting.
He had a pretty bad fall and hurt himself.
Oh, that's just awful.
Yeah.
So it's just you two then?
Yep, just us.
What made y'all wanna
come all the way out
to this old town?
Especially all the way from New York?
Oh, how'd you know
we were from New York?
Oh, honey, it's a
small town here. (Laughs)
Word spreads fast.
You can't run a stop sign
without the whole town hearing about it.
Right, right.
You know, we just decided
to take a break from it all,
enjoy some peace and quiet.
- Oh, that makes sense.
- Yeah.
Well seriously, thanks again
for coming out all the way.
It's really nice to meet you.
How long do y'all plan on visiting?
A few days?
There's really not much to do here.
I don't know.
With Jordan's leg, he's
probably not gonna be up
for traveling for a while.
Is that so?
Do y'all have any other
friends or family in this area?
Uh, no, I don't think so.
Oh, I almost forgot.
I have a little welcoming gift for y'all.
They're two free tickets
to a couples dinner
this evening at the best
restaurant in the area.
Only a 20 minute drive from here.
You won't find a better steakhouse
on this side of the Colorado River.
Well, thank you so much.
That is so thoughtful of you,
but I don't think we're gonna
be able to make it tonight.
No, come on now. I insist.
We go out all the time in New York
and constantly surrounded by people,
so we just kind of want a break-
I won't take no for an answer.
- No, I really don't think-
- They have great food.
It'll be a good time.
Really, thank you so much,
but I just don't, I don't think so.
All right.
Thought it might be nice
to get out of the house,
the both of you.
It's not good for you to stay hidden away
inside for very long.
We'll get out when
Jordan's feeling better.
Okay. (Chuckles)
Seriously, thanks for
coming out all this way.
You didn't-
Bye, bye now.
[Sydney] Uh, well, you have
a great rest of your day.
(food sizzling)
Hey babe, I'm gonna
go for a little drive.
What?
No, you're not.
It's fine. I've been walking
around a little bit more.
Just gotta clear my head
from sitting around doing nothing all day.
Okay.
(soft dramatic country music)

(soft dramatic music)
(insects buzzing)
(truck engine rumbling)
(radio static buzzing)
I've been meaning to tell you something
and uh, I'm not entirely
sure how you'll take it.
Been noticing you were
a little off lately.
I know. I'm sorry.
Just, I've been thinking
about us getting married
and our future and everything
and I thought maybe we could move here?
Move here?
Like to Texas.
I could convince my parents
to finally sell this place for us,
call it a wedding gift
and we could get a house just like this
in any other town we want.
Oh, so you don't wanna live here?
No, I mean I still like the big city
and I don't think a small town situation
would be a good long term
fit for either of us.
And we'd have so much
more space to ourselves
like we do here and most of
my design work is done online.
And you could easily fly to New York
whenever you do your shows.
But I mean, I have to be
there for all the rehearsals.
That's a long time away from you,
and all the back and forth.
Well, there's still theater
and dance opportunities here.
I mean look at Dallas and Austin-
- Jordan.
- What?
(Sydney chuckles)
- It's not New York.
- I know, but...
I'm just throwing it out there.
I think it would be a smart move
for us financially, that's all.
- I'll think about it.
- Yeah, for sure.
No rush.
We'll make it work.
(dog tag rattling)
(dog grumbles)
(soft orchestral music)
(knocking on door)
Mr. Wilson. I wasn't expecting you.
What can I do for y'all?
Well, I know we should
have called first,
but we just wanted to stop by and say hi.
I always tend to make more than enough
so we'd have some leftovers,
so I'm glad there's enough to go around.
Oh, it's delicious, Jennifer.
Thank you. I'm glad you like it.
I bet you're probably wondering
why we just barged in so unexpectedly.
Oh no, not at all.
Y'all are more than welcome
to stop by any time.
Well, we were in and about town talking
and realized we had never sat down
and chatted with the Suttons.
Thought we'd change that.
You think it'd be easy
to be close to everyone
in such a small town like this.
You'd like to think that
you know everybody in town,
but somehow some of 'em
just stay outta your sight.
Like they don't want to be
acquainted, which is a shame.
Isn't that right, James?
Sure.
I see what you mean.
We moved around a bit before
we decide to settle here.
Come to learn that there's
always a few people like that
in every town you go to.
They're either unfriendly
or hiding something.
Which is why we need you, Deputy,
to find all the unfriendly
folk in this town.
Find all the secrets they've been hiding,
before something bad
happens, ain't that right?
That's what you've been
doing, ain't that right?
Dad locks away all
the bad people in jail.
That's right.
And who are the bad people?
The dangerous ones.
But how do you know
if they're dangerous?
If they kill people?
(Debra laughs)
You're right. Those
people are very dangerous.
But that's not the only
kind of bad people, is it?
There's many ways a person
can be considered bad
without killing someone.
You need to finish
cleaning up your room.
Go put your plate up
and get started, okay?
Hope Sheriff Cooper was able to help you
with that issue of yours.
What's that?
Spoke about an issue in town
you needed him to take care of?
- Oh, right.
- Seemed pretty important.
James and I bumped into
each other the other day
when I visited Cooper.
We used to help babysit his kids
way back when before we took in Derrick.
Derrick? Is that your son?
Nephew, but we think of him as a son.
He's my brother's boy.
We took him in after Kenny
was killed in a car accident.
- Oh.
- Drunk driving.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
Little Derrick had no
one and nowhere else to go.
Deb and I, we never had
any little ones of own, so,
we gladly took him in.
How old is he now?
Just turned 27 back in February.
Any who, to answer your question,
Cooper's looking into it.
I think he'll take care of it.
There's no need for you
to be worried about it,
but I appreciate your concern.
I chatted up a storm with him
at last year's Fourth of July cookout,
but other than that we don't
get the chance to talk much.
He's a busy man.
You know, he likes this
law enforcement team
put together like a well
oiled machine, tip top shape,
working all effectively together.
I think that's what I
respect most about him.
He makes sure that every
part of that machine
is doing their job and doing it right.
Because if one part doesn't do their job
or does something they shouldn't do,
then he would have to remove that part
and find a replacement.
So he kind of keeps his eye on all of 'em,
whether they know it or not.
[Jordan] Who is it?
I don't know.
He looks like some sort of
technician or something.
Hi.
Morning ma'am. Hope
this isn't a bad time.
We've had some reports of
some temporary power outages
in the neighborhood, so
I'm just coming through,
doing some quick home inspections.
Oh, okay. Of course.
Come on in.
Thank you ma'am. It
shouldn't take too long at all.
Sure.
(tense music)
Are you looking for anything specific?
Just making sure
there's no exposed wiring
or nothing of the sort.
(tense music continues)
(camera clicks)
(dog tag rattling)
(dog grumbling)
(camera clicks)
Everything looks fine and dandy, miss.
Have y'all noticed any
unusual smells in the house?
Any burning rubber smells,
anything weird like that?
Uh, I mean, I don't think so.
I mean when we first got here,
there was kind of a weird smell,
but nothing like burning rubber
or wires or anything like that.
Just thought I'd ask.
That'd be a sure sign
of a potential hazard.
But that's it. Everything looks good.
Okay.
(tense music)
There you go, boss.
No sign of alarm system, motion sensors,
security cameras, nothing.
They got a dog inside might be a problem.
It's just a little mutt. All bark.
But they do have firearms
in the house, sir.
Hm.
I see.
Good work, Hoffman. Have a seat.
As you all know, Lobo's making
this quarterly trip here
for the nueces, and in my 17 years
of running this branch of his operation,
I have never met him empty handed.
I have no intentions of starting now.
Now we're out of options
and we're out of time,
so I've spoken with Sheriff Cooper
and he's gonna keep
things hushed on his end.
It's time we turn this thing up a notch.
Derrick?
Yes, sir?
It's time you prove yourself.
You go in first.
Let me do it.
He's had his chance.
Shut your mouth and you
keep it shut unless spoken to.
With all due respect, Mr.
Wilson, this is bullshit.
How am I supposed to prove myself
if I don't get the opportunity to-
Final warning.
If you're smart, you'd
keep your mouth shut
from here on out.
Now I'm about this damn
close to painting that wall
with them little bit of brains
you got left in that hard head of yours.
You can't fix the problem
because you're part of the problem.
Have I made myself clear?
Yeah.
(gun cocks)
Yes, sir.
(Bill laughs)
You want to be a man so badly,
but you can't speak with your chest, boy.
Yes, sir.
You go in first, and
you will get it this time,
no questions asked.
And if anything happens
to compromise the product,
we terminate the problem.
No time for witnesses and
definitely no time for failures.
Understand?
(tense music)
(insects buzzing)
(Bill yelling)
(Bill grunting)
(Derrick grunting)
- On your knees.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I can explain this.
(Lobo whistles)
(hit thuds)
(Bill grunts)
This man next to you, tell me who he is.
He has nothing to do with this.
(Lobo whistles)
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I'll tell you.
He works for me.
He's been with me for the past six years-
For the last six years.
He's gone with you to
every border exchange
since you hired him.
That's not what I want to hear.
Tell me what I don't know about him.
What you don't know?
(Lobo whistles)
(hit thuds)
Jesus!
Okay. All right.
His name is Derrick.
Derrick Wilson, my nephew.
My brother's only boy.
Hell, he was raised right here in Texas.
Keep going.
He drives a green '98 Dodge.
He goes dove hunting every season.
Takes his own personal
hunting dog Maverick,
who he raised from a pup.
Keeps his private life and
his personal life separate.
Keeps his mouth shut.
And I'm bringing him up to take
over the operation after me.
Good.
(gunshot fires)
(tense emotional music)
I can give and I can take.
Give and take, just like
that. It's that easy for me.
And I'm not in the giving mood.
If I cannot take what I
have come to take, Bill,
then I will take from you,
and it doesn't matter to me what I take.
Your nephew.
Your house.
Debra.
It's come to my attention
that you are unable
to deliver me my product.
- I'll get it-
- Stop.
I didn't come here to waste my time
listening to you rattle on.
Don't waste my time.
I came here to remind you of
your place in this business.
Bill, it seems to me that
you have become forgetful.
That you have become lazy.
- I'll get your product back.
Just like I have for the
past 17 years for you.
I'll get it with or without you.
That's not the point.
The point is the lesson
that needs to be taught.
(insects buzzing)
(gasoline splashes)
(match lights)
Hold this for me, will you?
Some of the buyers think
that it is called nueces
for the river, the Nueces River.
Truth be told, not far from
some ancient Mayan ruins
in Mexico is a more
jungled ancient paradise
called the Canyon of Nueces.
This canyon is covered
in these huge nut trees.
And after thousands of years
of these nuts decomposing,
the ground is rich and fertile.
And underneath this canopy of trees
grows the nueces marijuana plant.
Some say it was meant for
the Mayans or for royalty.
That it should be left alone.
That there is a dangerous
curse put upon it
and anyone that would disturb it.
But I don't believe in curses, Bill,
nor do I believe in luck,
prayers or miracles.
But I do believe in failure.
I believe in mistakes, wrong
choices, imperfections.
Those are the real dangers to my business.
So with that in mind, Bill,
these outsiders that have put
my precious Nueces in jeopardy,
are they a danger to me? Are
they a danger to my business?
I don't want you to tell me.
I want you to make that decision for me,
because I'm coming back
to take the Nueces,
or I'm coming to take from you.
And I will take from you
until there is nothing left to take.
(truck engine rumbling)
(tense emotional music)
Moki?
Moki?
I've searched about everywhere.
I have no idea where he could have gone.
Maybe he just chased
after a cat and got lost.
I think I'm gonna
take the truck into town
to go look for him.
I'll check that tree area
over there. Let me see his ball.
Come here, boy! (Whistles)
Moki?
Moki, you want your ball?
(Jordan whistling)
You can pass.
(Jordan whistles)
[Jordan] Come get your ball!
Moki! Get your ball!
(tense music)
(flies buzzing)
(tense eerie music)
Just pass me, dude, come on.
(engine puttering)
(tense music)
(truck accelerating)
Geez.
(engine hissing)
(tense music continues)
Having some trouble?
Hi.
Yes.
I have no idea what happened.
I see, is this your truck?
No, actually, it's my fiance's.
Hi, I'm Deputy James Sutton.
- Sydney Newman.
- Nice to meet you.
Well, I'll tell you what,
I'll call this in to get it towed,
and taken in to the shop in town.
I can give you a ride home if you'd like.
That would be perfect. Thank you.
Absolutely.
(insects buzzing)
What's going on?
What happened?
The truck broke down. Deputy
Sutton gave me a ride home.
Thanks for that.
I'm Jordan.
- James, happy to help.
- You all right?
- I'm fine, yeah.
Yeah, did you find Moki?
No, no.
Is it right if I have
a word with you two?
There's something I'd like
to talk to y'all about.
- Yeah.
- Of course.
- Yeah, great.
- Come on in.
Thank you.
The two of you aren't in any trouble
with the law or anything.
I more so have come here
to talk to you out of personal concern.
Concern?
About what?
- Why?
Now hold on. There's no
reason to be alarmed just yet.
There's maybe some overthinking on my end.
There's a man here who has
more influence on this town
than the mayor and sheriff combined.
He's very secret about his past
and the oil business he runs.
To get to the point, it seems you two
have annoyingly crossed
paths with this man.
But we haven't done anything.
Like I said, I'm
basing these assumptions
off my own suspicions.
I just don't understand.
Like, what does this have to do with us?
We've just been here on our property.
Has there been any suspicious
activity that you noticed?
Anything odd happen lately?
I was being followed.
What?
Can you give me a description?
Did you get a look at him?
No. It happened too fast.
Just now, when you were
out looking for Moki?
Yeah. I think that's why the truck died.
I normally wouldn't do this,
but I think it'd be best
if you contact me directly through this.
It's on a private channel.
Short range of no more
than two to three miles.
I'll be in that perimeter for a while.
- Got it.
- Thank you.
But I mean, I doubt that'll be necessary.
I'd rather know I did everything I could
than try to go to sleep on regret.
Hey, Deputy?
Hey there's something I
think I should tell you.
She doesn't know, does she?
About what?
About what happened to you.
You heard something you weren't supposed
to hear that night, didn't you?
Thought about bringing it up in there.
But I figured you should
be the one to tell her.
Look, they threatened me.
Okay?
I can't say...
I can't say what.
I think it would put Sydney in danger
and I can't let her get hurt.
Not because of me.
I understand.
But I don't think it's just 'cause of you,
what happened at the bar.
Like I said, don't
hesitate to use that radio
if anything happens.
Hey, wait, there's something else.
It's our dog.
I...
I found his body near the house.
It was all twisted and mangled,
but not from an animal
attack or anything like that.
I can't help but think
someone did that to him.
Who could do something like that? And why?
I mean, is it another warning?
I kept my mouth shut just
like they told me to.
I never said a word to anybody.
(Jordan sighs)
I'm afraid they won't stop there.
Tell you what, I'll stick
around nearby tonight,
to be able to keep an eye out for things.
Thanks.
I'd feel much better about that.
You and I both.
(soft dramatic music)
Deputy Sutton said
it's just a couple fixes.
The truck should be ready
to pick up in a few days.
What's that?
Oh, I just printed these off.
I thought we could put 'em around town
when we get the truck back.
Sydney, we don't need those.
It's been like two days, Jordan.
I'm really starting to worry.
There's just no way
he could have made it
all the way into town.
I mean, someone could have seen him
on the side of the road, picked him up.
What are we supposed to do?
Just sit around and wait for-
Stop, stop. Listen, okay?
Stop. I found Moki.
Okay?
What?
I found him earlier near the house.
What happened?
I don't know. An animal
got to him, I think.
I'm sorry.
Why didn't you just tell me?
I didn't know how to.
This trip was supposed
to make you feel better,
not make you feel worse.
So, what? You were just
planning on keeping it from me?
Let me go on looking for him?
No, it all happened at once, okay?
I haven't had a chance to process it.
Look, I've always been upfront
with you about everything
up until all this shit started happening.
What do you mean?
I just couldn't tell you.
Why not?
You're supposed to-
Because, Sydney.
You don't know how to
handle situations like this.
I knew you would just weep
and wallow about it for days
like you'd be doing if we
were back in New York City
and didn't come here.
None of this would've
happened if we didn't come here.
You're the one that dragged me out here.
No, you can't put that on me.
There's no way I could've known
something like this would happen.
God, can't you see that
I'm working my ass off
to help you move on from
this dance company mess?
Did you ever stop to think about
how I wanted to deal with it?
No.
You never even gave me the chance.
You made the decision for me
by forcing me to run
away from my problems.
You can't sweep things
under the rug, Jordan,
and pretend that they don't exist.
Okay.
Look, you're right. I'm sorry.
It's just...
I've seen what this does
and it would kill me
to see you turn out like my mom.
The last thing my grandpa would've wanted
was for her to stop enjoying
her life because of him.
And I don't wanna see you give
up on dance because of this.
I'm not giving up on dance.
I'm not giving up on New York.
I just need to handle my
own problems in my own way
and I need you to trust me in that.
Jordan.
I love you and I am so ready
to spend the rest of my life with you,
but I'm not giving up on my dream
and I'm not giving up
on our life in New York
just 'cause it's the easy thing to do.
(truck engine)
Who's that?
It's just the deputy.
Why is he back?
He just wanted to keep
a close lookout tonight.
Why?
Did he change his mind, or
did you change it for him?
What is that supposed to mean?
When you were out talking
to him before he left.
What did you say that
made him change his mind?
Nothing.
Jordan.
I just told him about Moki, okay?
I thought he should know.
Why would he need to know that?
[Radio] Deputy Sutton
checking in, do you copy?
Yeah, this is Jordan. We can hear you.
Good, I'm just parked
right outside the house.
Anything else suspicious to report?
Nothing else has happened.
Thanks again for your help.
- Just give me a holler if so.
- Yes sir, will do.
(insects buzzing)
What is going on?
I thought he said that this
wasn't that big of a deal.
I told you he wants
to be here just in case.
Jordan, look at me.
Look at me.
You cannot keep me in the dark, okay?
You are sketching me the hell out.
You haven't been the same
since you hurt your leg.
You think I haven't noticed?
Something is obviously wrong.
I can't tell you, Sydney.
Just trust me, okay?
I don't want you to get involved or hurt
or any more worried than you already are.
Would you just stop it already?
Moki is dead, I have been
followed and harassed
by complete strangers
and now there is a law enforcement officer
standing watch outside our damn door.
I'm saying this with all
the love that I can give.
I need you to tell me what is going on.
Shit.
[Dispatch] We have shots
fired on the east side
of town over on Ambler.
Sheriff Cooper is requesting Deputy Sutton
to the crime scene.
That's Sheriff Cooper
requesting Deputy Sutton
to the crime scene.
Copy that. Deputy Sutton en route.
(truck starts up)
I didn't get hurt falling
down the stairs that night.
I overheard some guys in the bar
talking about something that
I wasn't supposed to hear.
Something about smuggling drugs, I think.
And they followed me outside
and they pulled a gun on me.
That's why I couldn't tell you, Sydney.
Because I have no idea what
I've gotten myself into
and I don't know why
they keep messing with us
because I haven't told
anybody, not even the deputy.
And that would be the
right thing to do, right?
But I can't bring myself to do it.
I'm sorry, I thought it was for the better
to just do what they said.
I'm sorry.
(tense emotional music)
(rustling in the distance)
- What was that?
- I don't know.
(tense music)
He's not there.
Try the radio.
Try the radio.
Deputy Sutton?
Deputy Sutton, it's
Sydney. Can you hear me?
Deputy Sutton, are you still by the house?
He's not answering. He must have left.
(staticky buzzing)
(rustling in the distance)
Stay behind me.
(tense dramatic music)
(tense dramatic music continues)
(gun clicks)
Hey.
(gunshot fires)
(gunshots firing)
(gunshot fires)
(gunshot fires)
(gunshot fires)
(bullet pinging)
(gunshot fires)
(gun clicking)
Oh, shit.
No!
(gunshot fires)
(bullet pinging)
(Jordan grunting)
Sydney!
(hits thudding)
(both grunting)
(chair thudding)
(hit thuds)
(thug grunts)
(tense music)
Deputy Sutton?
Deputy Sutton, it's
Sydney. Can you hear me?
Nothing. He might still be out of range.
What's he doing?
This is exactly why he
gave us this to begin with.
Hello, this is Jordan.
Deputy Sutton, are you there?
What the hell?
Maybe try a different channel.
No. He told us to only
use this private channel.
Why would he do that
if he's not gonna st stay in range-
I don't know. Something
must have happened.
I doubt he would leave for no good reason.
Y'all are making a big mistake.
Y'all have no idea who
y'all are messing with.
(gun thuds)
Why are you messing with us?
Huh?
What do you want from me?
I kept my mouth shut, just like you said.
So why you breaking into our house?
You weren't supposed to be here.
[Jordan] What?
What are you talking about?
No one was ever supposed to be here.
Why do you say that?
Look, we didn't ask for this, all right?
This is just one big mistake.
We don't want any trouble with you,
whoever it is you work for,
or whatever the hell it is you're doing.
So why are you still after us?
Why can't you just let this go?
I ain't gotta tell you anything.
Talk.
I'd love to see you
do something with that.
(gunshot fires)
- I said-
- Okay.
- Talk.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.
They wanted me to make sure
that you wouldn't talk.
They wanted me to silence y'all.
That doesn't make any sense.
We haven't said a word
about anything to anyone.
They don't care.
Who is they?
The president of the United States.
- The one smuggling drugs.
- What?
I knew you were listening, you little...
Is that what Deputy
Sutton was talking about?
It must be.
I should have killed
you when I had the chance.
(gunshot fires)
(window shattering)
Uh oh.
(gunshot fires)
(window shattering)
Why are they shooting at us?
What aren't you telling me?
I was supposed to be
out by now. (Laughs)
They think y'all done killed me already.
Will they leave us
alone if we let you go?
Yes. Yes, they will-
Tell me the truth.
(window shattering)
They will, Let me go and they'll stop.
Jordan, no, you can't do that.
Just wait for the deputy.
We don't know where he
is or if he'll be back.
I gotta do something.
Walk.
(insects buzzing)
(tense music)
Tell them that I have a gun on
you and not to try anything.
He's got a gun.
Louder.
[Isaac] He has a gun on me!
Don't try anything!
Tell 'em you're okay and
that we don't want any trouble.
I'm okay and they
don't want any trouble.
We'll let you go and
we'll never say a word
about the drugs.
Say it.
Say it.
They'll let me go and they
won't say shit about the drugs.
[Jordan] Tell them
I'm letting you go now.
They're letting me go now.
All we ask is to leave us alone.
All they ask is to be left alone.
(insects buzzing)
Hold your hands up.
Show 'em.
(gunshot fires)
(tense dramatic music)
(gunshot fires)
(tense dramatic music)
(gunshots firing)
(gunshot fires)
(gunshots firing)
(Jordan panting)
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
- Yeah, yeah.
They shot him.
What?
Why, what-
I don't know.
(tense dramatic music)
Keep firing until they come out.
(gunshot fires)
(window shattering)
(Sydney grunts)
(gun clicking)
(gunshot fires)
(window shattering)
Try the radio again.
Deputy Sutton, can you hear me?
Hello, it's Sydney. Can you hear me?
(gunshot fires)
(window shatters)
(truck engine rumbling)
(insects buzzing)
(tense music)
Cooper, what's your 20?
(Jordan grunts)
What? What's wrong?
What is it?
I'm sorry.
- What's wrong?
- I'm sorry.
- Oh my god.
- I'm sorry.
No, it's gonna be okay.
I didn't know that was gonna happen.
- No, it's okay.
- I tried to get away.
I tried.
- I know, it's okay.
This is all my fault.
This is all my fault?
No, this is not your fault.
Stop talking like that, okay?
Listen to me, we're gonna be just fine.
Deputy Sutton's gonna get here
and we're gonna get out this.
None of this was supposed to happen.
Hey, it's okay. We just gotta
keep pressure on it, okay?
I need you to calm down, okay?
Hey. I just wanna marry you.
I just wanted to marry you.
You will, okay?
I just wanna marry you.
I just wanna be your husband.
That's all I want, okay?
You've gotta keep pressure on it.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Don't be.
- I'm sorry.
Don't be. This isn't your fault, okay?
I love you.
I need you to keep pressure on this.
I love you.
I love you.
I swear.
- I love you, too.
I love you, too.
- I swear.
I know.
(gunshot fires)
(window shattering)
(Sydney grunts)
Jordan, keep pressure
on that, you hear me?
(gunshots firing)
(gun clicks)
Cooper, I need you
to respond immediately.
I'm at the location for
shots fired. What is your 20?
(gun thuds)
(melancholy music)
Jordan?
Jordan?
(melancholy music continues)
(Sydney gasps)
[Bill] All right, boys, go get 'em.
(shotgun pumps)
Cooper.
Son of a...
(tense music)
(insects buzzing)

Was kind to you
Never black and blue

Face
The ones you know
Taught you how to grow
Made you star of the show
They
Make a case for love
Wake the sleepers up
Wake the sleepers up
(singer vocalizing)

Oceans of borrowed time
A thousand ways to rhyme
This world was never mine
So many faces
Made to fit the crime
Freed to fall behind
Chains you can't deny
So many voices
Breaking from the war

[Bill] Is that everything?
Si, senor.
You're new to this sort
of thing, aren't you?
Me?
Well, I'm looking at you, aren't I?
Yes, sir, Mr. Wilson.
This is his first time-
(Felix speaks in Spanish)
Easy, easy. No need to
pitch such a hissy fit.
I'm only he asking 'cause I
haven't seen you here before.
I can speak for myself.
Of course.
What's your name, mijo?
Mi llamo Felix.
You hombres have any idea
how long I've been doing
this right here, this border exchange?
No, senor.
Well, I've been doing it long enough.
Shit, long enough to know how them coolers
are supposed to look
whenever we leave here,
and unfortunately they
don't look like that.
(dramatic music)
[Eduardo] Hey.
There's no need to get your britches
in a bunch there, vato.
You'll take out one of us at most
before my men fill you with bullets
and your amigo here gets his
throat cut for no reason.
Let's not let that happen.
All right?
You drop your gun, I'll let you go.
All three of you.
Just a small error in the delivery load.
We'll make up for it on the next shipment.
Ain't no sweat off my back, hombre.

Damn thief.
(tense music)
(insects buzzing)
Don't worry, mijo. I'm
not going to kill ya.
I need you to tell Rodrigo
exactly what happened here.
Comprende?
And also tell him to
be a little more strict
on the men he hires.
Tell him I said that.
What's your name?
Diego.
Diego.
It's for the trip back home.
Don't worry, vato.
You might just get a
promotion out of this.

How'd it go?
Not too bad. Same old, same old.
Any trouble?
Not nothing that I couldn't handle.
Now you go on to bed, honey.
I'll be in as soon as we're through.
(tense orchestral music continues)
(audience applauding)
(audience cheering)
(gunshot fires)
Hold it, or the next one
might be too close for comfort.
Well, Sheriff.
I believe you're trespassing
on private property.
I thought there was
something off about you, Bill.
Ah, stay right where you
are, against the wall.
But I gave you the benefit of the doubt.
I thought you were a good man.
I respected you.
Come to find out you're
all hat and no cattle.
And I don't take kindly to
being deceived like that,
made a fool of.
There's no damn way that I'm gonna let you
get away with this.
Not right under my own damn nose.
Yeah, just maybe you getting too old
for this job, Sheriff.
What gave me away?
I busted many a man over the years
with that same kind of weed.
I recognized the smell
when we were over here
last month for dinner.
Put two and two together and here we are.
And here we are.
Look, how about let's make a deal?
(shotgun pumps)
I don't want anyone to get hurt
for no good reason at all tonight.
I'm sure you don't want that, either.
(Bill sighs)
I've been around this town
many a year and you know that.
But I'll pack it all up tonight.
Leave.
Never come back.
But all you have to do
is walk away, Morris.
Think about Janine.
You, you don't wanna leave
her all alone, do you?
And for crying out loud,
don't you want to be
around for them grandkids?
Don't throw it all away.
You'll never see me again.
Can't. It's not the way it goes.
I have a duty to this town.
It's what I signed up for.
There's no changin' that.
Sheriff Morris. I need backup at 210-
(gunshot fires)
(Sheriff Morris thuds)
(tense music)
(Sheriff Morris whimpers)
And I have a duty to my business,
and that's not changin', either.
(gunshot fires)
[Jordan] As long as it
has that one move you do.
I love that move.
Oh really?
Oh, okay. Which one is that?
It's like the, uh, I
know what it's called.
It's the jumpy thingy.
The double Parmesan or something.
The double Parmesan?
Did you mean Pas de chat?
Uh, yeah, sure.
Definitely.
Show me.
Okay, all right.
Wow.
Stunning.
Thank you, thank you.
(Sydney laughs)
Oh, man.
What are you thinking about?
What?
That face.
That's the face you make
when you're thinking about something.
Nothin'.
Jordan.
Seriously, I'm just
thinking about your show.
Oh, right, whatever. (Chuckles)
No, I'm serious. Tell me what it is.
Okay.
I'll tell you, on one condition.
What's that?
You have to marry me first.
Are you serious?
(gentle orchestral music)
Have you guys picked a date yet?
Sydney?
I'm sorry.
What did you say?
Have you guys picked a date yet?
You literally asked
me that like yesterday.
Okay, sorry. I'm excited.
My best friend's getting married.
You gotta let it soak in first.
Anyway, there's just
way too much to consider
before we can actually settle on a date.
Oh, like if you
actually wanna marry him?
I definitely want to marry him.
That is not something I have to consider.
I'm kidding.
Oh, did you ask him about Saturday?
Yes.
He's already going to the
game this weekend with Marcus.
I swear that's like the
third time he's backed out.
I know. I'm sorry.
Are you sure you wanna
be married to a man
who's desperate to watch
sports every waking moment?
Oh my god, you're right.
Do you think I'm making a big mistake?
(Amber laughs)
It's not too late to back out, is it?
(police siren wailing)
(indistinct police radio chatter)
Bill? What the hell happened?
It was Morris.
- Oh, shit.
- Cooper, he almost had me.
Now I thought you and I had an agreement.
I'm sorry, Bill. I tried
to keep him off your trail.
I was the first to respond
to his request for backup
and I took care of it.
Now nobody else has to
know anything about it.
I guess this sort of thing
was bound to happen sooner or later
(indistinct police radio chatter)
I'll have my men take care of
the body and the vehicle, too.
You just make sure to
keep this thing hushed.
Reckon I'm gonna have to find
a new place to secure my product,
being this one has been compromised now.
You just make sure to do your part
and I will see to it that
you'll be the next sheriff.
Yes, sir.
(tense music)
(food sizzling)
[News Reporter] Last
week in Callahan County,
the body of Sheriff Anthony Morris
was found on the outskirts of Clyde.
This morning brings us the
latest in the investigation,
revealing the fingerprints
found on the gun
belonged to Felix Fernando Garcia,
an illegal immigrant from Mexico.
Authorities have yet to make an arrest
due to his unknown whereabouts.
But the hunt continues as
this county seeks justice.
(insects buzzing)
(Bill sighs)
You like it here?
- It won't happen again-
- No.
No, I'm just curious.
Do you like living here?
Yes sir, I do.
I see.
And you have a beautiful home.
Lots of land.
Exactly what I promised you, right?
Yes, sir.
And I'm thankful.
I know you are.
Look, Lobo, what happened
the other day, I've got it-
Do you have any rattlesnakes out here?
Debra killed one just the
other day out there by the tank.
They're out there moving, all right.
Some of the Indian tribes,
they warn their children
they're gonna get bit if
they don't follow tradition.
Don't reckon I've
ever heard that before.
My old man, he used to
remind me every summer.
He'd say, "Hot days are rolling in
and keep an eye out for 'em."
The whole rest of the year,
you don't think twice about 'em
until you see that first
rattlesnake of the year.
Then you start to worry.
You start to worry they're
gonna come outta nowhere
and ruin your day.
I don't like that feeling, Bill.
(insects buzzing)
(soft dramatic music)
(soft dramatic music continues)
Everybody listen up.
Can I have your attention, please?
I really hate to be the one
to have to tell you this,
but starting today,
all rehearsals and performances
are canceled until further notice.
[Dancer] What?
This may be hard for
some of you to hear,
especially those of you who've
been with us for many years.
You've put your best selves forth
and we're so very proud of
the work you've done here.
We are doing our best
to resolve the issue...
(melancholy orchestral music)
I'm so sorry, Sydney.
It took me so long to get
cast in a company out here.
Three years. I remember.
And now I don't know when
I'm gonna get to dance again,
just like that.
Sydney, you shouldn't have
to stop you from dancing.
It's just there's plenty of other
production companies out there
who would love to have you.
I just...
I can't, I can't do that so suddenly.
What if I do commit to something
else and then they reopen?
It's not a guarantee that
I'll get my spot back.
But you said it would
take several months.
They didn't say it was
gonna take that long.
They said it possibly...
It might.
Okay, so...
What if it never reopens?
You don't wanna just sit
around and wait forever.
I hear you.
Okay, I know. I know those things.
I guess I just need a
little more time with it.
I love this city.
I'm exactly where I dreamed I would be.
But right now I really,
really hate it here.
This makes me think
of the Christmas performance last year.
I remember watching and
being so transfixed by you.
But I think it was because I could tell
you weren't just there to perform.
Look, Sydney...
You dance because there is nothing else
you would rather be doing.
And you have that.
And I knew when I watched you that night
that I could watch you do that forever.
And I want to.
I also remember you
seeing me in the audience,
even though I told you I wasn't
gonna be able to make it.
And I thought to myself,
how does she manage to
do all of that dancing
and still keep an eye out for me?
What do you say we get outta here?
- Out of the apartment?
- New York.
My parents still have that
house in Texas where I grew up.
They never did sell it after we moved out.
Big house out in the country,
lots of space, lots of sunshine.
It might be nice to get
away for a few weeks.
What do you think, boy?
Hm?
(Jordan chuckles)
What do you say?
Gone are the good days
When my mind was made
up, my mind was made up
The wind comes for all of us one day
And takes the things we call home
Hold on to memories
'Cause the lingering clouds
won't let the sun through
The wind came for me that one day
And took the things I call home
(acoustic indie music)
(singer vocalizing)
[Jordan] I haven't
been here since I was 14.
(Sydney exhales)
Come here, boy.
I have like zero bars.
(Jordan laughs)
I told you.
You gotta get on a special
kind of cellular plan
to get service out here.
Welcome to the boondocks.
Yeehaw.
(Sydney chuckles)
Smells kind of weird, but,
I mean, it's so spacious.
It's crazy.
- It does smell weird.
I can't imagine what this
would cost in New York.
I know.
[Sydney] Why won't your parents sell it?
It's complicated.
My grandpa on my mom's
side, he lived here with us,
and when he passed away, we moved.
My mom couldn't stand to
be reminded of him here
and now she can't bring
herself to sell the place.
She still hasn't moved
out all his stuff, so...
(gentle music)
Well, we just need to pick up
some groceries, but, oh man,
we should be good for a while.
Who's a good boy?
(camera clicks)
(tarp whooshing)
Is this thing even gonna start?
I guess we'll find out.
(Sydney chuckles)
Shit.
[Sydney] Hey, who's that?
I don't know.
It's a private road.
[Sydney] Maybe they're lost?
Maybe.
(truck engine rumbling)
(insects buzzing)
[Sydney] Can I drive?
[Jordan] Sure, if you
think you can handle it.
[Sydney] This ain't my first rodeo.
[Jordan] Stop.
(gentle music)
[Hoffman] Ma'am.
- What is it?
- Your wife, boss.
(tense music)
(baseball bat thuds)
Oh yeah. (Chuckles)
You wanna try?
Feels good.
[Sydney] No curve balls.
All right. Gonna
release some anger, okay?
I want you to imagine this
is the guy who wants to shut
down your dance company.
Okay, that's his face.
Whack it.
Don't hit me, though.
There you go. Okay.
Ready?
- Mm-hm.
[Jordan] All right.
Okay, okay. No, no, no.
It's been a while.
One more, one more.
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Okay.
- All right.
Focus up.
Ready?
- Yeah.
(bat thuds)
[Jordan] Oh!
(window shatters)
- Oh!
- Oh!
All right.
I am so sorry. I did
not mean to do that.
No, it's okay, it's okay,
it's just an old shed.
[Sydney] Okay.
I'm surprised you hit the ball.
Okay, you do it, then,
since it's so easy.
Mm-hm.
- Show you how it's done.
What you got?
What you got, big lady, huh?
Come on.
I'm ready for ya.
(ball thuds)
Whoa!
I don't freakin' think so.
(Sydney laughing)
No way, no. Absolutely not.
[Sydney] Put me down. Put me down!
(bucket thuds)
(Jordan grunts)
Jesus.
(Sydney sighs)
[Sydney] You knocked over the baseballs.
Think there's a glove in the house
if you wanna play catch.
Nah, enough baseball.
Okay. What do you wanna do?
Let's do something we
couldn't do back in New York.
Like what?
(gunshot fires)
Nice.
- Like this?
- Yeah, pull it back.
Then down. Good.
All right.
(Sydney exhales)
Take two nice breaths.
Middle of the second one,
just squeeze that trigger,
nice and gentle.
(gunshot fires)
Nice, babe.
(Sydney chuckles)
Wow.
I did play paintball
one time with my brother
and his friends for his
13th birthday party.
I had a huge crush on his
best friend at the time.
[Jordan] Oh, yeah?
I was trying so hard to impress him.
Let me guess, that
uh, it didn't work out.
Mm, no way.
I completely lost interest in him
the second he was the first
one to land a shot on me.
It hurt so bad.
I literally, I had a big bruise
on my arm for like a week.
Well, in his defense,
I probably would've
done the same thing if I were him.
Boys don't really know
how to flirt at that age.
Obviously.
Well, I mean, he's married
now and he's got two kids
so I guess he figured it out. (Chuckles)
All right, I am out.
You sure you don't wanna come?
Nah, I'm gonna stay in. I'm almost done.
Are you sure?
That's kind of depressing.
And watching a baseball
game alone at a bar isn't?
Hm.
Touche.
(Sydney chuckles)
I love you.
- Love you, too.
(truck starts up)
(television chattering)
[Isaac] Are you shittin' me?
I'm just glad he didn't
make me deal with it.
Why? You scared of your own uncle?
He just, he expects a lot from me.
That's why I was able
to bring you in on this.
He's starting trust me more and more.
Derrick, ain't that a good thing?
I don't know. I don't wanna
be doing this kind of stuff.
You're trying to get out?
I don't think I can.
(Isaac laughs)
Look, I was trapped into this.
I didn't have a choice.
At first I thought it was what I wanted,
but the first opportunity
I see to get out of here,
I'm gone.
I'm taking it.
Hell Derrick, I ain't got a problem
taking your place whatsoever.
The more Bill trusts me,
the more of this I get.
I can't promise anything.
There's no way in hell
my uncle would let me
out of his reach with
that kind of information.
And even if he did, Lone Lobo would never
let me leave alive.
I'd constantly be looking over my shoulder
for the rest of my life.
Lone Lobo. You know
how whack that sounds?
[Derrick] I know. No one knows his name.
It's just what we've always called him.
No disrespect, but
you telling me my boss
is shaking in his boots 'cause Mufasa
or whoever the hell is coming
to pick up some fancy pot?
You see why it's hard for me to...
(tense music)
Shit, shit, shit, shit.
(keys thuds)
(hit thuds)
(Jordan grunts)
[Isaac] Hey, hey, hey,
hey. Who the hell are you?
[Jordan] No one!
(hits thudding)
(Jordan grunting)
I'm gonna ask you one
last time, young man.
What's your name?
It's Jordan. I'm Jordan.
All right, Jordan.
I don't know what you heard,
but you ain't hear shit tonight,
and ain't shit coming out your mouth,
you understand that, young man?
It won't. It won't, it won't.
You saw nothing, you heard nothing.
You had too much to drink.
You're drunk, you understand that?
I didn't see anything.
(tense music)
Hey Derrick, I got something for his ass.
[Jordan] No, no, no, no.
(hit thuds)
(Jordan grunts)
(Jordan groaning)
- Let's go.
- Come on.
(Jordan panting)
Hey buddy, you okay?
You want me to call the police?
(Jordan grunting)
You sure you gonna be okay?
(Jordan grunting)
(truck starts up)
Did you try the light
switch? It wasn't working?
No, I didn't think it was
gonna be that big of a deal
until I missed the first step
and literally tumbled all
the way down the stairs.
That is so stupid. Did you
tell someone to get that fixed?
I mean imagine if it
was just a poor old man
just trying to find the bathroom.
- Right.
- Same thing happened to him.
But they know about it now.
It's no big deal. It's just an accident.
(Sydney sighs)
But still.
I'm fine.
Okay?
Really.
Well, I'm glad it happened to you
and not some sweet old man.
(Jordan chuckles)
Yeah, me too.
Okay, I'm gonna go get
something for the pain.
Okay.
(tense music)
Hardly muttered a single word to me.
He just hobbled over to
his truck and drove off.
An old looking Dodge, I think it was.
And I know he just got his
rear end handed to him,
so maybe he wanted to hold on
to what little pride he
had left and walk it off,
but it just looked as if
he was hiding something.
I didn't like the look of it, Deputy.
Now, I ain't no bonafide detective,
but I've seen my fair share of television
and I'd reckon that
Wilson boy and his friend
threatened him to keep his mouth shut
about something or another.
Derrick Wilson, you said?
Yes, sir, that's right.
So I tried.
I punch in 1234,
and the gate opens just like that.
Yeah.
You should have seen
the look on Roy's face
when I tell him I got it on the first try.
Melvin, let me call you back.
Good morning, Bill. I uh,
I wasn't expecting you.
How's your wife?
Cooper, I'm sorry but I just really
don't have the time for
small talk right now.
Sure, sure. What can I do for you?
Well, I don't know if you're aware,
but we have some visitors
in town this week.
Jordan Price and his cute little fiancee.
Well, what's the problem?
Have they caused some trouble?
The problem, Cooper,
is that he's a Price
and he's staying at the Price
House for no telling how long.
Now, we have a mutual friend.
He's coming to town to see me this week.
And Cooper, he is not one to reschedule.
Shit.
Yeah.
I need that lovely couple gone.
Well Bill, there's
only so much I can do.
I can't just run 'em out of town.
There's gotta be some legal precedent.
Some cause that I need to act on.
(Bill sighs)
Cooper, you know, you
really seem to enjoy
playing this sheriff part.
I'd like to keep it
that way, wouldn't you?
Yes, sir.
(knocking on door)
Cooper, need a word with you.
Sutton, now is not a good time.
It's all right. We
were just finishing up.
Cooper, just take care
of that issue quickly
before he gets here.
Yes, sir.
(indistinct police radio chatter)
Sutton, what the hell is wrong with you?
That was Mr. Wilson that
you just interrupted.
Why are you asking
questions about his nephew?
Well, turns out he was involved
in that bar fight last night,
so I'm checking out his background
to find out who the other
guy was he had with him.
Look, I am not interested
in any drunken bar fight.
I want you to stop digging into things
without my permission.
You need to give up on Derrick Wilson
and if I ever catch you digging
in on Bill Wilson again,
I will have your badge
faster than all get out.
Do you understand me, Deputy?
Yes, sir.
(gentle music)
(insects buzzing)
(glove thuds)
(gentle music continues)
(knocking on door)
Hi, there.
Hi.
I heard we had some new faces in town
and thought I'd come by
and introduce myself.
I'm Debra Wilson.
- Oh, I'm Sydney Newman.
Do you live close by?
No, I'm on the other
side of town, actually.
Oh, gosh. Thank you so much for...
You didn't have to drive
all the way out here.
That's really kind.
Oh, sweetheart. It's nothing really.
We haven't seen anyone out here for years.
Yeah, it's actually my
fiance's parents' house.
They own it. They moved
out a long time ago.
It's lovely, it's lovely.
No one is ever out in this area.
Are they here? I'd love to meet them.
No, actually, it's just Jordan and I.
Yeah, he's in the back room resting.
He had a pretty bad fall and hurt himself.
Oh, that's just awful.
Yeah.
So it's just you two then?
Yep, just us.
What made y'all wanna
come all the way out
to this old town?
Especially all the way from New York?
Oh, how'd you know
we were from New York?
Oh, honey, it's a
small town here. (Laughs)
Word spreads fast.
You can't run a stop sign
without the whole town hearing about it.
Right, right.
You know, we just decided
to take a break from it all,
enjoy some peace and quiet.
- Oh, that makes sense.
- Yeah.
Well seriously, thanks again
for coming out all the way.
It's really nice to meet you.
How long do y'all plan on visiting?
A few days?
There's really not much to do here.
I don't know.
With Jordan's leg, he's
probably not gonna be up
for traveling for a while.
Is that so?
Do y'all have any other
friends or family in this area?
Uh, no, I don't think so.
Oh, I almost forgot.
I have a little welcoming gift for y'all.
They're two free tickets
to a couples dinner
this evening at the best
restaurant in the area.
Only a 20 minute drive from here.
You won't find a better steakhouse
on this side of the Colorado River.
Well, thank you so much.
That is so thoughtful of you,
but I don't think we're gonna
be able to make it tonight.
No, come on now. I insist.
We go out all the time in New York
and constantly surrounded by people,
so we just kind of want a break-
I won't take no for an answer.
- No, I really don't think-
- They have great food.
It'll be a good time.
Really, thank you so much,
but I just don't, I don't think so.
All right.
Thought it might be nice
to get out of the house,
the both of you.
It's not good for you to stay hidden away
inside for very long.
We'll get out when
Jordan's feeling better.
Okay. (Chuckles)
Seriously, thanks for
coming out all this way.
You didn't-
Bye, bye now.
[Sydney] Uh, well, you have
a great rest of your day.
(food sizzling)
Hey babe, I'm gonna
go for a little drive.
What?
No, you're not.
It's fine. I've been walking
around a little bit more.
Just gotta clear my head
from sitting around doing nothing all day.
Okay.
(soft dramatic country music)
(indistinct police radio chatter)
(soft dramatic country music continues)
(birds chirping)
(hit thuds)
(truck starts up)
(gentle music)
(insects buzzing)
(insects buzzing)
(fan whirring)
(light clicks)
(fan whirring)
(soft dramatic music)
(insects buzzing)
(truck engine rumbling)
(radio static buzzing)
I've been meaning to tell you something
and uh, I'm not entirely
sure how you'll take it.
Been noticing you were
a little off lately.
I know. I'm sorry.
Just, I've been thinking
about us getting married
and our future and everything
and I thought maybe we could move here?
Move here?
Like to Texas.
I could convince my parents
to finally sell this place for us,
call it a wedding gift
and we could get a house just like this
in any other town we want.
Oh, so you don't wanna live here?
No, I mean I still like the big city
and I don't think a small town situation
would be a good long term
fit for either of us.
And we'd have so much
more space to ourselves
like we do here and most of
my design work is done online.
And you could easily fly to New York
whenever you do your shows.
But I mean, I have to be
there for all the rehearsals.
That's a long time away from you,
and all the back and forth.
Well, there's still theater
and dance opportunities here.
I mean look at Dallas and Austin-
- Jordan.
- What?
(Sydney chuckles)
- It's not New York.
- I know, but...
I'm just throwing it out there.
I think it would be a smart move
for us financially, that's all.
- I'll think about it.
- Yeah, for sure.
No rush.
We'll make it work.
(dog tag rattling)
(dog grumbles)
(soft orchestral music)
(knocking on door)
Mr. Wilson. I wasn't expecting you.
What can I do for y'all?
Well, I know we should
have called first,
but we just wanted to stop by and say hi.
I always tend to make more than enough
so we'd have some leftovers,
so I'm glad there's enough to go around.
Oh, it's delicious, Jennifer.
Thank you. I'm glad you like it.
I bet you're probably wondering
why we just barged in so unexpectedly.
Oh no, not at all.
Y'all are more than welcome
to stop by any time.
Well, we were in and about town talking
and realized we had never sat down
and chatted with the Suttons.
Thought we'd change that.
You think it'd be easy
to be close to everyone
in such a small town like this.
You'd like to think that
you know everybody in town,
but somehow some of 'em
just stay outta your sight.
Like they don't want to be
acquainted, which is a shame.
Isn't that right, James?
Sure.
I see what you mean.
We moved around a bit before
we decide to settle here.
Come to learn that there's
always a few people like that
in every town you go to.
They're either unfriendly
or hiding something.
Which is why we need you, Deputy,
to find all the unfriendly
folk in this town.
Find all the secrets they've been hiding,
before something bad
happens, ain't that right?
That's what you've been
doing, ain't that right?
Dad locks away all
the bad people in jail.
That's right.
And who are the bad people?
The dangerous ones.
But how do you know
if they're dangerous?
If they kill people?
(Debra laughs)
You're right. Those
people are very dangerous.
But that's not the only
kind of bad people, is it?
There's many ways a person
can be considered bad
without killing someone.
You need to finish
cleaning up your room.
Go put your plate up
and get started, okay?
Hope Sheriff Cooper was able to help you
with that issue of yours.
What's that?
Spoke about an issue in town
you needed him to take care of?
- Oh, right.
- Seemed pretty important.
James and I bumped into
each other the other day
when I visited Cooper.
We used to help babysit his kids
way back when before we took in Derrick.
Derrick? Is that your son?
Nephew, but we think of him as a son.
He's my brother's boy.
We took him in after Kenny
was killed in a car accident.
- Oh.
- Drunk driving.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
Little Derrick had no
one and nowhere else to go.
Deb and I, we never had
any little ones of own, so,
we gladly took him in.
How old is he now?
Just turned 27 back in February.
Any who, to answer your question,
Cooper's looking into it.
I think he'll take care of it.
There's no need for you
to be worried about it,
but I appreciate your concern.
I chatted up a storm with him
at last year's Fourth of July cookout,
but other than that we don't
get the chance to talk much.
He's a busy man.
You know, he likes this
law enforcement team
put together like a well
oiled machine, tip top shape,
working all effectively together.
I think that's what I
respect most about him.
He makes sure that every
part of that machine
is doing their job and doing it right.
Because if one part doesn't do their job
or does something they shouldn't do,
then he would have to remove that part
and find a replacement.
So he kind of keeps his eye on all of 'em,
whether they know it or not.
[Jordan] Who is it?
I don't know.
He looks like some sort of
technician or something.
Hi.
Morning ma'am. Hope
this isn't a bad time.
We've had some reports of
some temporary power outages
in the neighborhood, so
I'm just coming through,
doing some quick home inspections.
Oh, okay. Of course.
Come on in.
Thank you ma'am. It
shouldn't take too long at all.
Sure.
(tense music)
Are you looking for anything specific?
Just making sure
there's no exposed wiring
or nothing of the sort.
(tense music continues)
(camera clicks)
(dog tag rattling)
(dog grumbling)
(camera clicks)
Everything looks fine and dandy, miss.
Have y'all noticed any
unusual smells in the house?
Any burning rubber smells,
anything weird like that?
Uh, I mean, I don't think so.
I mean when we first got here,
there was kind of a weird smell,
but nothing like burning rubber
or wires or anything like that.
Just thought I'd ask.
That'd be a sure sign
of a potential hazard.
But that's it. Everything looks good.
Okay.
(tense music)
There you go, boss.
No sign of alarm system, motion sensors,
security cameras, nothing.
They got a dog inside might be a problem.
It's just a little mutt. All bark.
But they do have firearms
in the house, sir.
Hm.
I see.
Good work, Hoffman. Have a seat.
As you all know, Lobo's making
this quarterly trip here
for the nueces, and in my 17 years
of running this branch of his operation,
I have never met him empty handed.
I have no intentions of starting now.
Now we're out of options
and we're out of time,
so I've spoken with Sheriff Cooper
and he's gonna keep
things hushed on his end.
It's time we turn this thing up a notch.
Derrick?
Yes, sir?
It's time you prove yourself.
You go in first.
Let me do it.
He's had his chance.
Shut your mouth and you
keep it shut unless spoken to.
With all due respect, Mr.
Wilson, this is bullshit.
How am I supposed to prove myself
if I don't get the opportunity to-
Final warning.
If you're smart, you'd
keep your mouth shut
from here on out.
Now I'm about this damn
close to painting that wall
with them little bit of brains
you got left in that hard head of yours.
You can't fix the problem
because you're part of the problem.
Have I made myself clear?
Yeah.
(gun cocks)
Yes, sir.
(Bill laughs)
You want to be a man so badly,
but you can't speak with your chest, boy.
Yes, sir.
You go in first, and
you will get it this time,
no questions asked.
And if anything happens
to compromise the product,
we terminate the problem.
No time for witnesses and
definitely no time for failures.
Understand?
(tense music)
(insects buzzing)
(Bill yelling)
(Bill grunting)
(Derrick grunting)
- On your knees.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I can explain this.
(Lobo whistles)
(hit thuds)
(Bill grunts)
This man next to you, tell me who he is.
He has nothing to do with this.
(Lobo whistles)
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I'll tell you.
He works for me.
He's been with me for the past six years-
For the last six years.
He's gone with you to
every border exchange
since you hired him.
That's not what I want to hear.
Tell me what I don't know about him.
What you don't know?
(Lobo whistles)
(hit thuds)
Jesus!
Okay. All right.
His name is Derrick.
Derrick Wilson, my nephew.
My brother's only boy.
Hell, he was raised right here in Texas.
Keep going.
He drives a green '98 Dodge.
He goes dove hunting every season.
Takes his own personal
hunting dog Maverick,
who he raised from a pup.
Keeps his private life and
his personal life separate.
Keeps his mouth shut.
And I'm bringing him up to take
over the operation after me.
Good.
(gunshot fires)
(tense emotional music)
I can give and I can take.
Give and take, just like
that. It's that easy for me.
And I'm not in the giving mood.
If I cannot take what I
have come to take, Bill,
then I will take from you,
and it doesn't matter to me what I take.
Your nephew.
Your house.
Debra.
It's come to my attention
that you are unable
to deliver me my product.
- I'll get it-
- Stop.
I didn't come here to waste my time
listening to you rattle on.
Don't waste my time.
I came here to remind you of
your place in this business.
Bill, it seems to me that
you have become forgetful.
That you have become lazy.
- I'll get your product back.
Just like I have for the
past 17 years for you.
I'll get it with or without you.
That's not the point.
The point is the lesson
that needs to be taught.
(insects buzzing)
(gasoline splashes)
(match lights)
Hold this for me, will you?
Some of the buyers think
that it is called nueces
for the river, the Nueces River.
Truth be told, not far from
some ancient Mayan ruins
in Mexico is a more
jungled ancient paradise
called the Canyon of Nueces.
This canyon is covered
in these huge nut trees.
And after thousands of years
of these nuts decomposing,
the ground is rich and fertile.
And underneath this canopy of trees
grows the nueces marijuana plant.
Some say it was meant for
the Mayans or for royalty.
That it should be left alone.
That there is a dangerous
curse put upon it
and anyone that would disturb it.
But I don't believe in curses, Bill,
nor do I believe in luck,
prayers or miracles.
But I do believe in failure.
I believe in mistakes, wrong
choices, imperfections.
Those are the real dangers to my business.
So with that in mind, Bill,
these outsiders that have put
my precious Nueces in jeopardy,
are they a danger to me? Are
they a danger to my business?
I don't want you to tell me.
I want you to make that decision for me,
because I'm coming back
to take the Nueces,
or I'm coming to take from you.
And I will take from you
until there is nothing left to take.
(truck engine rumbling)
(tense emotional music)
Moki?
Moki?
I've searched about everywhere.
I have no idea where he could have gone.
Maybe he just chased
after a cat and got lost.
I think I'm gonna
take the truck into town
to go look for him.
I'll check that tree area
over there. Let me see his ball.
Come here, boy! (Whistles)
Moki?
Moki, you want your ball?
(Jordan whistling)
You can pass.
(Jordan whistles)
[Jordan] Come get your ball!
Moki! Get your ball!
(tense music)
(flies buzzing)
(tense eerie music)
Just pass me, dude, come on.
(engine puttering)
(tense music)
(truck accelerating)
Geez.
(engine hissing)
(tense music continues)
Having some trouble?
Hi.
Yes.
I have no idea what happened.
I see, is this your truck?
No, actually, it's my fiance's.
Hi, I'm Deputy James Sutton.
- Sydney Newman.
- Nice to meet you.
Well, I'll tell you what,
I'll call this in to get it towed,
and taken in to the shop in town.
I can give you a ride home if you'd like.
That would be perfect. Thank you.
Absolutely.
(insects buzzing)
What's going on?
What happened?
The truck broke down. Deputy
Sutton gave me a ride home.
Thanks for that.
I'm Jordan.
- James, happy to help.
- You all right?
- I'm fine, yeah.
Yeah, did you find Moki?
No, no.
Is it right if I have
a word with you two?
There's something I'd like
to talk to y'all about.
- Yeah.
- Of course.
- Yeah, great.
- Come on in.
Thank you.
The two of you aren't in any trouble
with the law or anything.
I more so have come here
to talk to you out of personal concern.
Concern?
About what?
- Why?
Now hold on. There's no
reason to be alarmed just yet.
There's maybe some overthinking on my end.
There's a man here who has
more influence on this town
than the mayor and sheriff combined.
He's very secret about his past
and the oil business he runs.
To get to the point, it seems you two
have annoyingly crossed
paths with this man.
But we haven't done anything.
Like I said, I'm
basing these assumptions
off my own suspicions.
I just don't understand.
Like, what does this have to do with us?
We've just been here on our property.
Has there been any suspicious
activity that you noticed?
Anything odd happen lately?
I was being followed.
What?
Can you give me a description?
Did you get a look at him?
No. It happened too fast.
Just now, when you were
out looking for Moki?
Yeah. I think that's why the truck died.
I normally wouldn't do this,
but I think it'd be best
if you contact me directly through this.
It's on a private channel.
Short range of no more
than two to three miles.
I'll be in that perimeter for a while.
- Got it.
- Thank you.
But I mean, I doubt that'll be necessary.
I'd rather know I did everything I could
than try to go to sleep on regret.
Hey, Deputy?
Hey there's something I
think I should tell you.
She doesn't know, does she?
About what?
About what happened to you.
You heard something you weren't supposed
to hear that night, didn't you?
Thought about bringing it up in there.
But I figured you should
be the one to tell her.
Look, they threatened me.
Okay?
I can't say...
I can't say what.
I think it would put Sydney in danger
and I can't let her get hurt.
Not because of me.
I understand.
But I don't think it's just 'cause of you,
what happened at the bar.
Like I said, don't
hesitate to use that radio
if anything happens.
Hey, wait, there's something else.
It's our dog.
I...
I found his body near the house.
It was all twisted and mangled,
but not from an animal
attack or anything like that.
I can't help but think
someone did that to him.
Who could do something like that? And why?
I mean, is it another warning?
I kept my mouth shut just
like they told me to.
I never said a word to anybody.
(Jordan sighs)
I'm afraid they won't stop there.
Tell you what, I'll stick
around nearby tonight,
to be able to keep an eye out for things.
Thanks.
I'd feel much better about that.
You and I both.
(soft dramatic music)
Deputy Sutton said
it's just a couple fixes.
The truck should be ready
to pick up in a few days.
What's that?
Oh, I just printed these off.
I thought we could put 'em around town
when we get the truck back.
Sydney, we don't need those.
It's been like two days, Jordan.
I'm really starting to worry.
There's just no way
he could have made it
all the way into town.
I mean, someone could have seen him
on the side of the road, picked him up.
What are we supposed to do?
Just sit around and wait for-
Stop, stop. Listen, okay?
Stop. I found Moki.
Okay?
What?
I found him earlier near the house.
What happened?
I don't know. An animal
got to him, I think.
I'm sorry.
Why didn't you just tell me?
I didn't know how to.
This trip was supposed
to make you feel better,
not make you feel worse.
So, what? You were just
planning on keeping it from me?
Let me go on looking for him?
No, it all happened at once, okay?
I haven't had a chance to process it.
Look, I've always been upfront
with you about everything
up until all this shit started happening.
What do you mean?
I just couldn't tell you.
Why not?
You're supposed to-
Because, Sydney.
You don't know how to
handle situations like this.
I knew you would just weep
and wallow about it for days
like you'd be doing if we
were back in New York City
and didn't come here.
None of this would've
happened if we didn't come here.
You're the one that dragged me out here.
No, you can't put that on me.
There's no way I could've known
something like this would happen.
God, can't you see that
I'm working my ass off
to help you move on from
this dance company mess?
Did you ever stop to think about
how I wanted to deal with it?
No.
You never even gave me the chance.
You made the decision for me
by forcing me to run
away from my problems.
You can't sweep things
under the rug, Jordan,
and pretend that they don't exist.
Okay.
Look, you're right. I'm sorry.
It's just...
I've seen what this does
and it would kill me
to see you turn out like my mom.
The last thing my grandpa would've wanted
was for her to stop enjoying
her life because of him.
And I don't wanna see you give
up on dance because of this.
I'm not giving up on dance.
I'm not giving up on New York.
I just need to handle my
own problems in my own way
and I need you to trust me in that.
Jordan.
I love you and I am so ready
to spend the rest of my life with you,
but I'm not giving up on my dream
and I'm not giving up
on our life in New York
just 'cause it's the easy thing to do.
(truck engine)
Who's that?
It's just the deputy.
Why is he back?
He just wanted to keep
a close lookout tonight.
Why?
Did he change his mind, or
did you change it for him?
What is that supposed to mean?
When you were out talking
to him before he left.
What did you say that
made him change his mind?
Nothing.
Jordan.
I just told him about Moki, okay?
I thought he should know.
Why would he need to know that?
[Radio] Deputy Sutton
checking in, do you copy?
Yeah, this is Jordan. We can hear you.
Good, I'm just parked
right outside the house.
Anything else suspicious to report?
Nothing else has happened.
Thanks again for your help.
- Just give me a holler if so.
- Yes sir, will do.
(insects buzzing)
What is going on?
I thought he said that this
wasn't that big of a deal.
I told you he wants
to be here just in case.
Jordan, look at me.
Look at me.
You cannot keep me in the dark, okay?
You are sketching me the hell out.
You haven't been the same
since you hurt your leg.
You think I haven't noticed?
Something is obviously wrong.
I can't tell you, Sydney.
Just trust me, okay?
I don't want you to get involved or hurt
or any more worried than you already are.
Would you just stop it already?
Moki is dead, I have been
followed and harassed
by complete strangers
and now there is a law enforcement officer
standing watch outside our damn door.
I'm saying this with all
the love that I can give.
I need you to tell me what is going on.
Shit.
[Dispatch] We have shots
fired on the east side
of town over on Ambler.
Sheriff Cooper is requesting Deputy Sutton
to the crime scene.
That's Sheriff Cooper
requesting Deputy Sutton
to the crime scene.
Copy that. Deputy Sutton en route.
(truck starts up)
I didn't get hurt falling
down the stairs that night.
I overheard some guys in the bar
talking about something that
I wasn't supposed to hear.
Something about smuggling drugs, I think.
And they followed me outside
and they pulled a gun on me.
That's why I couldn't tell you, Sydney.
Because I have no idea what
I've gotten myself into
and I don't know why
they keep messing with us
because I haven't told
anybody, not even the deputy.
And that would be the
right thing to do, right?
But I can't bring myself to do it.
I'm sorry, I thought it was for the better
to just do what they said.
I'm sorry.
(tense emotional music)
(rustling in the distance)
- What was that?
- I don't know.
(tense music)
He's not there.
Try the radio.
Try the radio.
Deputy Sutton?
Deputy Sutton, it's
Sydney. Can you hear me?
Deputy Sutton, are you still by the house?
He's not answering. He must have left.
(staticky buzzing)
(rustling in the distance)
Stay behind me.
(tense dramatic music)
(tense dramatic music continues)
(gun clicks)
Hey.
(gunshot fires)
(gunshots firing)
(gunshot fires)
(gunshot fires)
(gunshot fires)
(bullet pinging)
(gunshot fires)
(gun clicking)
Oh, shit.
No!
(gunshot fires)
(bullet pinging)
(Jordan grunting)
Sydney!
(hits thudding)
(both grunting)
(chair thudding)
(hit thuds)
(thug grunts)
(tense music)
Deputy Sutton?
Deputy Sutton, it's
Sydney. Can you hear me?
Nothing. He might still be out of range.
What's he doing?
This is exactly why he
gave us this to begin with.
Hello, this is Jordan.
Deputy Sutton, are you there?
What the hell?
Maybe try a different channel.
No. He told us to only
use this private channel.
Why would he do that
if he's not gonna st stay in range-
I don't know. Something
must have happened.
I doubt he would leave for no good reason.
Y'all are making a big mistake.
Y'all have no idea who
y'all are messing with.
(gun thuds)
Why are you messing with us?
Huh?
What do you want from me?
I kept my mouth shut, just like you said.
So why you breaking into our house?
You weren't supposed to be here.
[Jordan] What?
What are you talking about?
No one was ever supposed to be here.
Why do you say that?
Look, we didn't ask for this, all right?
This is just one big mistake.
We don't want any trouble with you,
whoever it is you work for,
or whatever the hell it is you're doing.
So why are you still after us?
Why can't you just let this go?
I ain't gotta tell you anything.
Talk.
I'd love to see you
do something with that.
(gunshot fires)
- I said-
- Okay.
- Talk.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.
They wanted me to make sure
that you wouldn't talk.
They wanted me to silence y'all.
That doesn't make any sense.
We haven't said a word
about anything to anyone.
They don't care.
Who is they?
The president of the United States.
- The one smuggling drugs.
- What?
I knew you were listening, you little...
Is that what Deputy
Sutton was talking about?
It must be.
I should have killed
you when I had the chance.
(gunshot fires)
(window shattering)
Uh oh.
(gunshot fires)
(window shattering)
Why are they shooting at us?
What aren't you telling me?
I was supposed to be
out by now. (Laughs)
They think y'all done killed me already.
Will they leave us
alone if we let you go?
Yes. Yes, they will-
Tell me the truth.
(window shattering)
They will, Let me go and they'll stop.
Jordan, no, you can't do that.
Just wait for the deputy.
We don't know where he
is or if he'll be back.
I gotta do something.
Walk.
(insects buzzing)
(tense music)
Tell them that I have a gun on
you and not to try anything.
He's got a gun.
Louder.
[Isaac] He has a gun on me!
Don't try anything!
Tell 'em you're okay and
that we don't want any trouble.
I'm okay and they
don't want any trouble.
We'll let you go and
we'll never say a word
about the drugs.
Say it.
Say it.
They'll let me go and they
won't say shit about the drugs.
[Jordan] Tell them
I'm letting you go now.
They're letting me go now.
All we ask is to leave us alone.
All they ask is to be left alone.

Cooper, what's your 20?
(Jordan grunts)
What? What's wrong?
What is it?
I'm sorry.
- What's wrong?
- I'm sorry.
- Oh my god.
- I'm sorry.
No, it's gonna be okay.
I didn't know that was gonna happen.
- No, it's okay.
- I tried to get away.
I tried.
- I know, it's okay.
This is all my fault.
This is all my fault?
No, this is not your fault.
Stop talking like that, okay?
Listen to me, we're gonna be just fine.
Deputy Sutton's gonna get here
and we're gonna get out this.
None of this was supposed to happen.
Hey, it's okay. We just gotta
keep pressure on it, okay?
I need you to calm down, okay?
Hey. I just wanna marry you.
I just wanted to marry you.
You will, okay?
I just wanna marry you.
I just wanna be your husband.
That's all I want, okay?
You've gotta keep pressure on it.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Don't be.
- I'm sorry.
Don't be. This isn't your fault, okay?
I love you.
I need you to keep pressure on this.
I love you.
I love you.
I swear.

I love you, too.

When
The west was won
When I ran for fun
When I jumped the gun
When
The world I knew
Was kind to you
Never black and blue
(singer vocalizing)
(gentle acoustic music)
Face
The ones you know
Taught you how to grow
Made you star of the show
They
Make a case for love
Wake the sleepers up
Wake the sleepers up
(singer vocalizing)
(gentle acoustic music)
Oceans of borrowed time
A thousand ways to rhyme
This world was never mine
So many faces
Made to fit the crime
Freed to fall behind
Chains you can't deny
So many voices
Breaking from the war
(staticky buzzing)
