Marshals (2026) s01e06 Episode Script

1
- Previously on Marshals
- Hayley.
Old classmate from the rez.
Didn't seem like herself.
[Thomas]
Missing children
has become an epidemic for our people.
Mom reported her missing
four months ago.
Could be a victim of trafficking.
Hayley, give me something, okay?
You got to help me find you guys.
Another stop they take us to.
The place with the trees.
Get us there.
- What about
- You have to let me go.
Hayley falls right into our
hands and Kayce tosses her back
- to a killer.
- [Andrea] The place
with the trees
isn't about actual trees.
It's a logo.
Camper's how Bludsoe's moving them.
[Miles]
They're gone.
Slow, somber music ♪
♪
[rifle firing]
Why are you pumping lead this early?
Just clearing my head.
So, no news on Hayley?
[scoffs softly]
So much for honoring Mom
by finding her.
Tense, dramatic music ♪
[clicks tongue]
[gunshot echoes]
I'm guessing those combos
means there's nothing new
- about the missing girls, huh?
- [sighs]
Kurt Bludsoe and his scumbag
henchmen are still dead,
and the FBI is still slow-walking
information requests.
Two days of round-the-clock work
and no new actionables.
Hey. I've let you stall
long enough.
Okay? You have to do Ava's
next-of-kin notification today,
no matter what.
Finding the girls is my priority.
Why rush the worst day
of her mom's life?
Because Sera deserves to
know the truth, Miles,
so giving her a shot
at closure is your new priority.
Maybe Kayce should tell her.
Then he can swing by
Hayley's mom's after,
share how he let her daughter go.
It's just his emotions talking.
[Belle]
Got an update.
Bludsoe visited a mechanic shop
shortly before we killed him.
Thinking that's where
he ditched the girls?
[Belle]
Maybe. He called the mechanic
on his cell. Eli Craig.
Uh, the guy's got no sheet,
but it's worth pursuing.
[Calvin] Put thousands
of miles on that camper
crossing the region,
you know, it stands to reason
that he'd need a tune-up
every now and then.
Better than anything we've got.
Mm. Well, Miles and I are doing
the notification today,
so the rest of y'all,
dig into the connections
between Bludsoe
and this mechanic Craig.
We should figure out
who the other nine girls are.
Get their faces out there,
see if someone spots one.
- On it.
- [Miles] Only works
if they call it in
instead of letting them go.
♪
Ava's mother is at work, so
we're gonna do the notification there.
Great. At Rainwater's office.
Should be hunting for the girls
rather than flaunting my failure
to the chairman.
Can't blame yourself for a fight
that even Rainwater said
he can't take on.
People of Broken Rock deserve better.
And Ava's mother deserves
hearing the worst
from someone who cares.
And as painful
as that is for you, Miles
that's why
you need to be there.
You done these before?
Slow, somber music ♪
Yeah, some for men who died
'cause of calls I made.
That's got to be rough.
You know
I took the Angel Flight
with the first teammate I lost.
And the XO of the team and I,
we-we made the notification
to his wife and his kid.
And, uh
I couldn't even
get a word out.
And afterwards, that XO,
he pulled me aside and he said to me,
"We do this job
because others can't."
[Belle] Bludsoe spent
less time at the mechanic
than he did at any
of the truck stops he visited.
Safe to assume he wasn't there
pimping the girls.
He had to have dropped them somewhere,
and this is the last point of contact
before we caught up with Bludsoe.
So, Craig is the next link
in the trafficking chain?
We bring him in for questioning,
my interrogation's a lot easier
if I already have most of the answers.
Tense music ♪
[Belle] Parking lot across
the street has security cameras.
Bet you one is aimed at the shop.
[sighs]
Receptionist called,
saying U.S. Marshals were here.
And I said that couldn't be true,
because I'm certain
I would be their first call
if they had any information
about our missing girls.
[Calvin]
Well, that's my mistake, sir.
I thought it was appropriate
to speak with Ava's mother first.
Speak with her?
About what?
Somber music ♪
[sighs]
I see.
[clears throat]
My worst fears have
come true once again.
[Mo]
Tragedy is one of the few things
Broken Rock has in abundance.
How did you learn of Ava's fate?
Hayley. She told Kayce.
Right before he let her go.
Uh, Hayley, though,
made it clear, sir, that
if she had left, other
girls would've been killed.
- [scoffs]
- And so, Kayce
took that risk in order to
protect the rest of the group.
And how can he protect them
when you can't find them?
[Eve]
Forty-three girls have been
reported missing
from reservations in Montana
over the past two years.
Forty-three?
Fourteen had contact
with your guy Greeneyes44.
Doing my best to identify
the other predators.
Forty-three doesn't even seem possible.
And those are just the ones reported.
Tense music ♪
Miles, I didn't expect
to see you again so soon.
Was Ava's social media
information useful?
Uh
- Thing is, ma'am, um
- Ma'am?
You've called me "Auntie"
since you were in diapers.
[chuckles]
Miles, what's going on?
Uh, ma'am, uh
I mean, Auntie,
it's, um
It's not, uh
What happened?
[Calvin]
I am so sorry, ma'am,
but Ava's no longer with us.
She was killed by the men
trafficking her.
No.
Please.
[crying]
Please.
Please.
[Mo]
Ava's on a better journey now.
[Sera sobbing]
No, Ava.
[Thomas]
My deepest condolences.
[Sera sobbing]
My baby
somber music ♪
[Belle]
There's Bludsoe.
[Andrea]
That could be Craig.
Okay, so, Bludsoe's timeline
has him there
at 3:48 p.m. two days ago.
[analyst] He's there
for eight minutes until
[Andrea]
Who the hell is this?
[Belle]
What is this, some sort of meet?
How long are they in there?
Less than five minutes.
Tense music ♪
Uh, can you zoom in?
That's an Iron Sentinels vest.
The girls are in the hands
of a violent motorcycle gang.
Wheatland County deputies
detained Eli Craig for us,
but he has lawyered up and not talking.
Uh, so best-case scenario,
the girls are being run
by an outlaw biker gang.
Iron Sentinels are
a true one-percenter gang.
They're ultraviolent
and highly organized.
Any ties to sex trafficking?
Drugs and weapons
are their big operation,
but they're a mafia on wheels.
If they can profit from it,
they'll do it.
They've got a clubhouse out by Cowan.
Place is a full-on biker bar.
Always busy, heavily fortified.
Not a door you want to kick.
tense, urgent music ♪
Okay. Let's get surveillance up,
see if we can get eyes on these girls.
How'd it go with Ava's mom?
You walk out of a notification
thinking it went well
didn't do it right.
I choked.
[Andrea]
My dad's partner
notified our family after
he was killed.
Just doing his job, but
I hated him for it.
Tore him a new one.
That's hard to imagine.
I didn't cry at my dad's funeral.
I was too overwhelmed
by the loss to actually grieve.
Tears can't fix a hole in your heart.
Maybe not, but
that flat, hollow feeling
kept spreading,
until I acknowledged my grief
and gave it a shape.
What the hell kind of shape
are you supposed to give
that kind of pain?
Any kind, as long as you control it
instead of the other way around.
Maybe you hold it gently.
Maybe you walk through it
and find closure.
It's different for everyone.
[Miles]
This isn't working.
If we can't go in,
maybe we can drive them out.
[Andrea]
You want to pull a fire alarm?
Call in a bomb threat?
How are you gonna force them out
of their sanctuary?
By going after what they love.
tense, exciting music ♪
♪
[men clamoring]
Clubhouse is clearing out. Go.
The girls aren't here.
[shouting]
They're heading back in.
[men clamoring]
tense, suspenseful music ♪
[Kayce]
All right, you're clear.
Grab whatever intel you can.
♪
We got to move. Come on.
Done.
Cell phone we ripped
suggests the girls could be
at an Iron Sentinels rally
happening up at
the Milk River valley area.
And that rally will bring in chapters
from around the country.
Bikers going off into the wild
getting weird
could mean a demand for girls.
I pulled a text
from the cell phone we ripped.
Says, "Brimstone's bringing
the entertainment."
Entertainment?
That could be drugs, y'all.
And Bludsoe could've dumped them
elsewhere for all we know.
Right?
It's the girls.
Yeah, who's this "Brimstone"?
[Belle] Uh, Keith Stelton,
an Iron Sentinel nomad.
Nomads are the most feared
members of the biker gangs.
They don't have a home chapter,
and are a combination
of the club's fixers and enforcers.
Deserved rep based
off of Brimstone's sheet.
Assault, battery, armed robbery,
and he's been investigated for weapons
and narcotics distribution.
He's a guy who can move things.
Yeah, but can you link him
to whatever went down
at the mechanic's?
[Andrea]
Texts indicate he arrived
an hour before the van
visited Craig's garage.
[Calvin] Connection to the girls
is still thin, Dre.
Okay? And I got Gifford
up my ass for spending
so much time on this, y'all.
Well, then, he'll be happy
to know that if the girls
aren't at the rally,
the trail will have run cold.
Okay. Reach out
to state and local police,
see if we can plus up
our forces. Hey.
And if we can get the support,
then we'll hit the rally.
[insects chirring]
What's going on?
[Thomas]
Forgive the imposition.
Tate was expecting us.
Came to help him to prepare
for the ceremony,
but his horse is gone.
[Thomas] Are you taking a break
from the investigation?
'Cause time must be running low,
as are our hopes.
I came home to check on my son.
Hayley news hit him pretty hard.
Timing can't be easy on him,
marking a year without a mother,
a friend taken by wolves.
And a father who returned her
to the very same pack.
Did you come here to beat me up?
'Cause I've been doing
plenty of that myself.
Well, from what Mo tells me,
you've been punishing
more than yourself.
Listen, retribution
is a form of justice.
But don't confuse vengeance
with closure.
Only one brings peace.
Well, vengeance
is the one I believe in.
[Mo] The tighter we cling to our grief,
the bigger shadow
our sorrow casts behind us.
[Thomas]
Finding our girls
is the type of closure that even
you can believe in, Kayce.
[clears throat]
Once you bring us this peace,
and if you find the pack of wolves
preying on our children
slaughter them all.
♪
[door opens]
Okay, where are we with federal assets?
Same place
as our local assets: nowhere.
They either don't have the resources
or they won't allocate them.
I'm starting to feel
Chairman Rainwater's pain.
So, if we make any moves
on this biker rally,
we'll be operating solo.
No. We cannot
pull off direct action
on this rally with only five shooters.
But we get eyes and ears
inside the rally,
locate the girls,
may help convince
the other agencies to spin up,
plus up our manpower.
It's a members-only rally, okay?
We get caught poking around
with this crew,
and we're gonna be in a hurt locker.
A marshal would stand out,
but a biker wouldn't.
Okay.
You mind telling me
what the hell you're getting at?
[Belle]
I ran an undercover sting
against the Iron Sentinels
a few years back.
My mark was a member
of the St. Louis chapter.
Yeah, I heard about that op.
Took down most of
the Iron Sentinels' leadership.
If Belle reactivates that cover,
we've got eyes and ears
inside the rally.
Yeah, and when you show up
out of the blue,
you're gonna raise suspicions.
[Andrea] Not if she brings
something they want.
Still got that meth
we took down a few months ago?
Drug dealing is one
of the Iron Sentinels'
biggest profit centers.
Okay, what if your contact
connects the dots,
thinks you're entrapping him
with the drugs?
Mm, based on our history,
he'll have something else
on his mind when he sees me.
[sighs]
Okay.
If you can confirm
your contact will be there,
I will green-light this op.
Slow, somber music ♪
♪
[Kayce]
Hey, buddy.
[Tate groans softly]
I came out here hoping
Mom would cheer me up.
She usually does.
Hard to believe it's been a year.
I know how you're feeling.
Losing your mom put a hole
in my heart that'll never heal.
I don't need cheering up
about the anniversary.
I'm not the one avoiding it.
I just can't stop thinking
that Hayley would be safe
if we'd done something when we saw her.
You're not to blame, son.
Fault lies with me.
Mom led us to that truck stop
and we didn't deliver.
I disappointed her.
No, that's the last thing you ever did.
You made her whole world bright.
All the more reason to come
to the ceremony tomorrow night.
Got to keep my foot on the gas
hunting for Hayley.
Rainwater and Mo still here?
I don't want to disappoint
Mom tomorrow, too.
Someone's got to honor her memory.
I know you been ducking me
after the shenanigans you pulled
at that Iron Sentinel clubhouse.
Shenanigans bear any fruit?
They did, though you might have
gone a little overboard
with the, uh, destruction
of property and trespassing.
Well, we used to call that
"diversion tactics."
Too bad we're not
in the sandbox anymore.
What we're fighting for
isn't any less important.
Man, I keep warning you, you
keep playing outside the lines,
it's gonna cost us our badges.
Are we worried about our badges
or finding these girls?
Tense music ♪
The hell's this?
Prepping to send Belle
into the biker rally undercover.
Got 15 kilos here.
Plenty to entice the Iron Sentinels.
[Belle]
Confirmed Squirrel,
my old contact,
will be attending the rally.
Let's go.
If you get burned,
you're gonna be on your own.
It's not my first rodeo.
Be nice if you could trust me.
I just never like having
a teammate downrange alone.
I'm happy to do it for these girls.
And they're as good as gone
if we don't try this.
All right, Kayce, Andrea,
we're gonna need a mobile HQ
to survey their rally, and Miles,
let's get all the hard armor
and rifles,
just in case this thing
goes sideways, okay?
Get ready for the ball, Cinderella.
[Calvin]
Let's go.
Hey.
What are you gonna tell your husband?
Well, I don't know how
that's any of your business.
It's not.
I just imagine how worried he'd be.
I'd tell him
he's got nothing to worry about.
I got you watching my back.

Wait till the booze and drugs
kick in after sunset.
Hell of a makeover, girl.

- [Calvin] You ready, Brandi?
Meeting my contact in five.
Okay. We just need you
to get eyes on Brimstone,
hope he leads you to the girls.

You won't be able to hear us
but this has a mic.
Watch your ass, girl.

[Belle]
Whoo!
[Calvin]
This could've been a mistake.
She is catching a lot of looks.
[Andrea]
I'd be more worried if a bunch
of horned-up bikers weren't eying her.
Don't see any signs of the girls.
Be ready to roll if you do.
[over comm]
I got eyes on Squirrel.
[Calvin]
Okay, here we go.
[cheering, whooping]
Well, hello.
[laughing] Ow!
Whoo!

You got some brass

Johnny Law showed up

Half our chapter got rolled.
I got pinched, too.

Mm. Some story.
Oh, yeah?
Two years.
Pocatello.
[scoffs]
Oh, that's the thanks I get
for not dropping a dime on you?
Think you can just roll up
and pick things up
right where you left them?
I got an old lady now.
Remember Charlene?
I'm here on business.
Hmm.
Got fresh product I need to move.
I moved up the ranks.
I don't do small-time deals anymore.
Oh, honey.
Small-time, huh?
That's pure glass.
I've got five here,
ten more ready to go.
I'm looking for a partner.
You know anyone who can move this?
Tense music ♪
I got just the guy, baby.
This guy's top of the food chain
around here.
- [Belle] Uh-huh.
- I'll do the talking.
Damn. Belle's pretty smooth.
[Andrea]
If the best lies are 90% true,
I got questions for her.
If Brimstone's not
the runner she's meeting,
we're gonna have to improvise.
Tense, dark music ♪
What the hell's this?
Former old lady of mine.
She has a business proposition for you.
[grunts softly]
- What you got for me?
- [Belle] I don't know,
that depends.
Who the hell are you?
Nomad.
They call me Brimstone, honey.
You weren't kidding.
How much you got?
Fifteen kilos,
bagged
and ready.
And you want me to move it for you?
That's right.
I cook, you sell.
That's the deal.
Hmm.
Not so sure we can be partners,
since something ain't adding up.
The hell you doing
with that skid mark Squirrel?
[Belle]
I don't know.
I guess I always saw it
as a stepping stone,
to something
bigger.
Better.
[chuckles]
Making a run to Calgary tonight
with some other product.
Buyer will take yours, too.
Sit tight. I'll be back later
to consummate our partnership.
Sounds more like d-drugs than girls.
- What's in Calgary?
- [Andrea] A wagon wheel.
If it's illegal in Canada,
they run it through there.
Girls make it to the distro center,
they'll be split up and sold out.
And gone for good.
[indistinct chatter]
I'm just gonna go pop a squat
Yeah. I know you.
Your hair's different,
but I've seen you before.
Huh.
Was it Sturgis?
No.
- It was Lone Star.
- No,
I think it was third base
at the blackjack table
at the Laughing Elk a few weeks back.
Mm-hmm.
Your name is Turek or something.
Let's go.
Brimstone wouldn't like you
putting your hands
- on his new lady.
- Her cover's blown.
[Calvin]
Turek? No, he's got her
confused with some other person.
[stammers]
She's gonna sort this out.
We move in, the girls disappear.
She's got it.
If this guy jams Belle up,
we're never gonna get eyes
on Brimstone.
[Belle over comm]
off of me.
Yeah?
And the club doesn't take too kindly
to infiltrators, so let's go.
Okay, go. Keep your head down.

Appreciate you taking on this fight.
That's what this team was stood up for.

We do this job because others can't.
We wouldn't have done it without

another defeat with Maddie.
Yeah.
