Neagley (2026) s01e08 Episode Script

1
- Previously on Neagley
- There's a guy in here. I need a favor
- for him. Make his evidence disappear.
- [Neagley] You stole
the money that was supposed
to go to Boone Riley.
Payor was, uh, Rawlings Corp.
- [Neagley] Say hello to Arvid.
- [Woodrow] He had his Moonies
stone Judith Gray to death
like something out of the goddamn
Middle Ages.
[Rawlings] Woodrow, it's time
- for new management.
- [Woodrow] I'm not the issue here.
- He is. No, no, n--
- [Rawlings] Within 24 hours,
my team will come to your beautiful farm
and extract the Tranqlara research.
- Let's get some food in you--
- Don't touch me!
I remember
you telling me,
"No one ever touches you."
Percy never touched me,
but you killed him!
No way Murphy was acting on his own
when he shot Davos.
His godfather gave him those orders.
[Hudson] The son of a bitch followed me.
He was gonna take me out.
- I bashed his head in. Dead.
- [Keno] If I married
a girl named Birdwhistle, I'd definitely
take her name and dump mine
in Lake Michigan.
Why, what's your surname?
No, that dies with me.
- [gasping]
- [Mason] Who let you in?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no! No.
I just wanted to know more
about the project.
Who you working for?
Was it that was it that cop?
We have no way of proving that Murphy
and his godfather were on the take.
So I go to prison and Keno dies.
[Neagley] We grab our weapons,
as much ammo as we can carry,
and kill anyone at Echo Canyon
who gets in our way.
[metallic clicking]
[pensive music playing]
- [gas pump clatters softly]
- [Hudson sighs]
You're rocking on your feet
like you got to pee.
- Spill it.
- Look,
I didn't mean anything by sending you
to meet Tracy, past working the case.
I don't know,
maybe subconsciously, I did, but
You're a grown woman, it's not my place
to try to warn you or teach you
or whatever I was doing.
I had a lot on my mind and I fucked up.
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
And it's no doubt you can handle yourself.
I just
I don't want anything to happen to you.
What the hell
am I supposed to do with that?
Nothing, I just
Just, we make a good team.
That's all. I don't know. I
I like you.
Even if you're not always that nice.
Like right now.
We are going to be severely outgunned.
We can't ask cops for help
because we don't know who to trust.
We go to the feds, it'll be three days
of bureaucratic bullshit
before they decide if they'll assist.
In short, we are
walking into some shit, so
this might not be the best time
to talk about a crush.
Yeah, I'm getting that.
[Renée] We're in luck.
Figured we could use
whatever weapons
we can get our hands on.
Pepper spray? You kidding?
I got one of these for my niece
- when she went to college.
- [Renée] It works, believe me.
For what it's worth, I don't want
anything to happen to you either.
[engine starts]
Hello.
It's another remarkable day
here at Echo Canyon Farm.
How may I help you?
Tell Lawrence Cole
we were sent by Mr. Rawlings.
Why would Rawlings be sending anyone?
We're about to find out.
Didn't you just see him?
I did.
But a group of armed men?
Mason, did you know that Paul the Apostle
never actually met Jesus?
But if he did, do you think he'd have
asked him countless questions
or just remained silent and learned?
Mr. Cole, sorry to just come in so strong.
Mr. Rawlings received intel
from an FBI source.
The Bureau's sending a team
to raid your compound.
Wait, wait, wait, slow down.
A raid?
Yes, sir. We are 30 minutes ahead
of three vans of Hostage Rescue and SWAT.
Uh, is there maybe enough time
to evacuate some people?
Not without a Blackhawk.
They're covering the roads in and out.
Now, my men are trained operatives.
They'll hold 'em off till
Mr. Rawlings' legal team can shut it down.
Until then, you and your people
need to hole up in the silo
- till it's safe.
- [Mason] No, no, no.
Fuck that. This is our home.
We have a full armed security team.
They're trained for this.
[dark music playing]
Mr. Rawlings insists
that you head below ground.
If there's bloodshed,
he's not losing his partner.
You're far too important to his operation.
Without me, who will lead the flock?
You're right.
Mason and I won't leave your side.
Inform your people, keep 'em safe.
Everyone,
the day I've warned of is here.
Interlopers are coming
to disrupt our home.
It will be but a minor inconvenience,
as there are men here to help us.
Report to the barn immediately.
Today, many of your questions
about the project will be answered.
[indistinct chatter]
Get in. As many as can fit.
[Keno] You know, if I could do it again,
I'd have been a real civilian.
Gotten a good job at Costco
or selling hot tubs, you know?
Then my parents would've seen
how bad they blew it by giving me up.
You're a man of few words, Ozzy.
- [door opening]
- [Ozzy continues thumping head]
What the hell?
[sinister music playing]
Isn't that
Uh, please keep moving.
Everyone's in. We're good to go.
[Balega]
Copy that. We're ready on our end.
Over.
All right, so when do you think
the fireworks are gonna get started?
Right now.
All right, let's move out.
Got to get these bodies to the burn pit.
I'll leave the note.
[sighs] What does this mean?
If it's a trap, we don't want them
to hear us coming.
We walk from here.
[pulsing music playing]
♪
[birdsong]
This is so creeped-out.
[Neagley] "We've been judged
for our beliefs in a world
that doesn't appreciate or love us
as we love the world.
The Bible says ashes to ashes;
today, we leave as atoms to atoms.
Our molecules released into the atmosphere
as the cosmic dust
from whence we were once born."
Well, that makes perfect sense.
Suicide note.
Looks like one, but guys who run cults--
they're narcissists.
Usually love themselves too much
to take their own lives.
"Atoms to atoms" sounds like a
bomb.
[ominous music playing]
This is a cover.
Rawlings is pulling a Hamilton
all over again. He's gonna
blow up the data in the silo
and anyone who can attest to it.
Make it look like Cole orchestrated
a massive Jonestown suicide pact.
Everyone's gonna die,
including a lot of good people
who came here just as lost as Tommy Crane.
- Bloody hell.
- [Hudson] And we didn't
see anyone 'cause Rawlings
has got 'em all underground.
You know the vent system.
- Go into the woods and enter that way.
- Uh, uh, shouldn't we stick together?
Aluminum vents can't hold all three of us.
We'll go through the front, take the heat.
While we have them distracted,
you drop down into the silo
and find the explosives.
What in the ever-loving fuck?
I was making photocopies a week ago.
Just find the charges.
I'll handle the rest.
Keno's down there.
[elevator clanking]
[elevator whirring]
I got no chance. You?
I'm a good shot, but I'm not that good.
[grunting]
What the shit?
Neagley!
[exciting music playing]
[coughing, gasping]
[mercenary in distance] Stay seated.
Hands on your heads. Don't move.
[sighs] What the fuck?
[button clicks]
[elevator whirring]
[Renée panting, grunting]
I'm in the vent.
[radio crackles]
I repeat: I'm in the vent.
Heading east. Copy?
[whispering] All right, copy.
Listen, I'm out of ammo,
so do me a favor:
keep talking.
[Renée] I hear lots of voices down here.
Sounds like scores of people.
I don't know how many, exactly.
There's been a fair amount of screaming.
They seem scared.
Really scared. Sounds like
- they're all herded together.
- [quietly] Shit.
[grunting]
Aah! Aah!
[trigger clicks]
Fuck.
[regular volume] Hey, well done, Renée.
I'm heading down.
[elevator whirring]
Sh Shit.
Well done, Neagley.
[indistinct chatter, whimpering]
[menacing music playing]
[Balega]
Settle down.
Settle down.
We're only after some paperwork and some
hard drives, and then we'll be on our way.
[whispering] Lawrence, what paperwork?
What do they want?
I have no idea.
But I don't think they're aware
of who they're dealing with.
[regular volume] Friend.
This is your chance
at salvation and survival.
Stand down or I'll have no choice
but to inform Mr. Rawlings
of this attempted coup.
You know what he's capable of.
Rawlings will rain hellfire upon you.
Rawlings?
Who the fuck do you think
told us to do this?
[followers gasping, exclaiming]
- Lawrence!
- [indistinct chatter]
- [grunts]
- Lawrence. Lawrence, are you okay?
[groans] Yeah, I'm okay.
All clear on the north side.
We got everyone.

It'll all be over soon.
Shh. Shh, shh.
- ETA?
- [mercenary] Two charges in place,
- third'll be armed soon.
- [Balega] Copy that.
Renée, there are three bombs.
[steady beeping]
I just found one.
[Cole whispering] There are
far more of us than them.
So we fight. Yes?
Tell everyone
on my signal, we go.

On the fucking ground.
- Come here, you fucking piece of shit!
- [mercenary] Eyes down!
- Get over here.

[mercenary] Check the corridor
on the left.
[mercenary 2] Roger that.
[both panting]
- You okay?
- Yeah. Uh
- [Neagley] What are we looking at?
- I have no idea.
[gunfire]
Aah!
Come on.
Get his shoelace. I'll cover.
- [Renée] Why do we need a shoelace?
- In Lebanon,
we learned how to jam IEDs
with broad-spectrum radio waves.
The waves collide with the signal sent
to trigger the bombs so they won't go off.
The shoelace will hold down the PTT button
and jam the signal.
[grunts]
Clear!
[quietly] Neagley. Where the hell are you?
Dealing with the bombs.
Status?
[grunting]
[Neagley] Hudson, what's your status?
Uh, met a couple guys
that don't like me very much.
I'm gonna keep our walkies on.
I'll have to switch to a channel with
- just static.
- Why?
[shouts]
To override the bombs' trigger.
We lose all communication.
This'll be the last time we talk.
You know, until we get out of here.
Okay.
If that's what's gonna happen
stay safe.
You too.
Switching over.
[radio static]

You're gonna get us out of here.
Get into it, come on, feel it.
There you go! There you go!
Don't stop the music, man.

All right, everybody
step away from the elevator.
You're all getting out of here, I promise.
But we're gonna do this orderly and calm.
All right, let's move, come on.
[suspenseful music playing]
Yes!
You did it, you crazy bastard.
Okay, now put your hand through the hole
and open the door.
Yes! Amazing. Okay.
Okay, perfect. Okay, now open mine.
My man!
Okay, come on, we got to roll.
All right, go, go, go.
Get everybody, get everybody.
Hey, let everybody out. Go, go!
Come on, man, let's go.
They're gonna kill us.

[suspenseful music playing]
They must have been
holding him somewhere else.
No, he was definitely here.
Did they kill him?
No evidence of that.
So let's find him.
- You!
- Be cool, bro.
You caused all this. You know that, right?
Cole gave us paradise
and then you showed up,
brought all this hell to the farm.
You poisoned what we had.
You destroyed our home.
Cole lied to you, man.

Please.
My leg is shattered. I need a doctor!
You didn't give a shit about Tommy Crane

I barely knew the kid.
He needed help. And you killed him.

What are we gonna do with him?
Leave him.
Oh, God! [groaning]

I'll be wheels up at 11:00 p.m.

Get the team together. I want a briefing
on the new proton pump inhibitor drug
as soon as I land.
Yes, sir.
Ah, Ms. Neagley.
Okay. I am a very busy man,
so please arrest me
so I can contact my attorneys
and get this whole process rolling.
All you've achieved
is to delay my departure until tomorrow,
and I have citizenship
in nine countries
that have no extradition treaties
with the United States.
And in each of those
I own a beautiful home
where I will gladly
live out my final decades.
So, go ahead, contact
- the authorities--
- [soft thunk]
[portentous music playing]
Enjoy your trip.
[grunts weakly]
[vehicles honking]
Oh
[honking]
[Mr. Crane] So,
everyone responsible
Gone.
All of 'em.
You're your father's daughter.
H-How's he doing?
Still stable.
Gonna visit him from here.
Come with me, sweetheart.
There's something I want to give you.
I don't know
if you've ever seen this before,
but I thought it would be special
for you to have it.
It is special.
Thank you.
[dark music playing]
Something wrong?
- May I?
- Mm-hmm.
[Percy] Hey, Frances.
I got the new Bernadette Bunny book.
Why don't you come check it out?
Elliot Percy.
That's who gave Tommy this book.
Percy tried to give me one too.
He tried to hurt you too?
Yeah.
But he didn't.
[soft chuckle]
I got lucky.
This whole time,
the one thing I couldn't understand
was why Tommy would ever
be drawn to a place like Echo Canyon.
[thoughtful music playing]
He was trying to heal.
You told my dad.
We didn't know who else to go to.
He was a cop and our friend
and he loved Tommy.
He told us what our son would go through
if we pressed charges:
prosecutors, court-appointed therapists.
He'd have to tell them
what happened to him in detail.
Relive all of it again and again.
We didn't want to put our son
through that.
We made your father promise
that he would never tell another soul
for as long as he lived.
He kept his promise.
He wouldn't even tell me.
[Mr. Crane] He never told us,
we never asked,
but when Percy's body
turned up in that alley,
we knew it must have been him
that put him there.
♪
Where's my dad?
I'm sorry.
He passed last night.
We tried to call you
but we couldn't get through.
My phone has a bullet in it.
Um okay.
Your father left something for you.
I'll give you a moment.
[mournful music playing]
[Calvin] Frances,
I'm certain one day you'll discover
why I couldn't tell you
why I did what I did.
It was for the right reasons,
but you got hurt in the process.
I am so sorry, sweetheart.
You were my first and only time
being a father.
I was learning on the job.
Greatest job I ever had.
The greatest honor.
My mistakes hurt you.
Don't cut yourself off from the world.
Let what I did to you die with me.
I love you, Peapod.
And I'll see you again one day.
And then
I'll get to hold you.
Love, Dad.
Would you quit tugging at it?
Yo, I hate wearing this shit.
Yeah, well, I can't get my money back
if you rip it, so knock it off.
Sorry I'm underdressed.
Bus broke down in Missouri.
Only got here 20 minutes ago.
You look fine.
How'd you find out?
Called the hospital for updates.
I was concerned.
Appreciate you checking in on the old man.
Not who I was checking in on.
Looks like you had your hands full.
Yeah.
Dropped off some pretty damning
evidence at the FBI this morning.
Check the papers.
Gonna be some fireworks.
Sorry to miss the fun.
You know, you could have called me again
if you needed help.
No time to track you down.
And these guys following us
stepped up in a big way.
Good team?
Very good.
Bro's huge.
He's not that big.
So, when you moving on?
Catching an eastbound train in an hour.
Gonna spend the summer out there,
maybe catch a game.
Unless you need me to stay a few days.
It's okay.
I'm all right.
[gentle music playing]
Thank you, Reacher.
I wasn't far. I was only in St. Louis.
No.
Thank you for always
accepting me the way I am.
But it's not the way I'm always gonna be.
It's nice to meet you, Neagley.
I can't believe it.
You've got soft hands.

Thank you.
Wasn't my idea.
But you don't even like me.
Eh, I'm ambivalent.
Hey. Uh
can I talk to you for a minute?
So, um, look
What I said at the-the gas station
before we, uh, went to the farm.
[short chuckle] It's okay.
People get confused about their feelings
when they think they're about to die.
Yeah, except, uh
I'm not confused about my feelings.
Oh.
Look, when you were, uh,
when you were high and-and terrified,
my instinct was to hold you.
So that you'd know you were safe.
But I-I didn't,
because I know you wouldn't have
wanted to be touched.
I just don't want you to think
that I didn't care.
[melancholy music playing]
I want you to know that I do.
Normally, in this-this kind of situation,
I'd see if I could kiss you.
I can't.
Because you don't want to
or because you can't?
I can't.
That handshake in the cemetery--
that was a first step.
But
I'm just not there yet.
Yeah. Yeah, okay.
