Big Sky (2020) s01e14 Episode Script
Nice Animals

Previously on "Big Sky"
Burying this is not gonna
wash away what we've done.
We're in enough trouble with
what you did with Rosie!
It's over, brother.
- [GASPS]
- [BODY THUDS]
Blake didn't do this to Rosie.
And you know who did.
The things that family's capable of
Worked for them for 25 years.
The one thing I know is
that they're ruthless.
You want to take them
on, you leave us out.
From the moment that I met Arthur,
I recognized him.
I think we may have gotten
off on the wrong foot.
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]
You called those
private investigators
Cassie Dewell and Jenny Hoyt?
MARY: I didn't tell anyone. Please.
- Liar!
- You're a monster!
Stop saying that!
CASSIE: Denise has been
calling Mary all morning.
And now her phone's going
straight to voicemail.
LINDOR: Ms. Leyendecker?!
Angela, why don't you
tell me what's going on?
-
- ANGELA: Proof the sheriff knew
what happened to Rosie was no accident.
Why is everyone so
afraid of this family?
[SCREAMS]
Whoo! Yeah!
[JENNY GROANS]
[SHUDDERS]
- [SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE]
- [COUGHS]
EARL: Help is coming.
Angela. Angela. Angela.
[GASPING] Angela.
Oh, God.
Did you open the door?
No. Why?
Somebody was here.
LINDOR: It's Ronald. He was watching us.
He went to the trouble
of taking her body,
even when he knew we were onto him.
There's a reason for that.
We don't know that she's dead yet.
Come on. I'll put out a call for backup.
- LINDOR: We'll get him.
- [SIGHS] Yeah.
Is this another one of
your manifestations?
No. He'll slip up.
Please stop saying that.
Slipping up means somebody else dies.
[CELLPHONE RINGS]
[SIGHS] Hey.
What?
What is it?
Jenny.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS,
CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
- Know where you are?
- I'm good.
- [GROANS]
- Just want to look here.
Alright.
Why don't you let the
docs take a look at you?
Get away from me.
I told you and your
friend to leave Lochsa.
The Kleinsassers did this.
Well, we don't know what happened yet.
That's BS. You know
damn well that they did.
And that makes you an accessory.
That's a big word, lady.
You been doing the Kleinsassers'
dirty work for years.
You know what?
If I'm not mistaken, you're
just a private investigator,
which gives you squat when
it comes to authority,
let alone jurisdiction.
I don't care about your jurisdiction.
Angela's dead because of you.
You're not gonna get away with this.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]
- Oh, no, I got it.
- He's waiting for us now.
Gonna be a long night.
Thank you.
Mm, sure you want to see all this?
Well, it's either this
or not sleep all night,
check the locks on the doors,
and watch bad Mark Wahlberg movies.
[CHUCKLES]
I won't feel safe until he's caught.
That's understandable.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
RONALD: You think I won't kill you?
Ronald do that?
Can't rule it out.
So, you said you had something
about Mary's family?
She has a sister who
lives not too far away.
- Rand did this?
- You know damn well it was.
He killed Angela.
Angela was one of my people.
Now, what I wanna know,
Horst, is did you order this?
No, I did not.
Well, you better get control
of your operation.
Don't tell me my business.
- I'll run my own.
- Really?
Well, you see, Horst,
I got two witnesses
who put Rand at the motel.
And, uh, that Jenny
Hoyt, that investigator
Blake brought up here she survived.
That problem ain't going away.
I am sorry about the girl,
Angela. I truly am.
But I have witnesses that put
Rand right here on the ranch.
Ain't like how it used to be.
Angela was there talking
to the investigator.
What does that mean?
Well, they weren't havin' a
pajama party, that's for sure.
Found this at the scene.
Dumping record of all them chemicals
you been putting on your ranch.
Where'd she get this?
- From Gil?
- I don't know.
- You gotta fix this.
- Naw.
Not this time.
This is your mess.
I am putting my boy in
the ground tomorrow.
You need to give me some
time to figure this out.
There ain't nothin'
to figure out, Horst.
This is where I get off.
I can't protect ya.
[DOOR OPENS]
Damn it!
Rough night, Sheriff?
What the hell is this?
The future.
Where annoying women
run things like ranches,
multi-national corporations,
even countries.
What in Sam Hell are you talkin' about?
Didn't mean to blow your good
ole boy brain, there, Sheriff.
I can see you're here
on important business.
Lemme guess,
Rand or JW?
You best shut your mouth.
I don't know why all you men
feel the need to keep telling me that.
You have no idea who
you're messing with.
Actually, it's the other way around.
You have a nice night, Sheriff.
See you in the future.
RONALD: And surprise.
- PHOEBE: Whoa!
- SCARLET: What?
Camping right now? In this?
Come on. I've been
wanting to surprise you.
With a truck? We have a
perfectly good mini-van.
Wait till you get inside.
I got a great deal on it.
You can drive a truck?
I have many skills that you
don't know about, Scarlet.
It's so cool. I want to go for a ride.
Come on. I got everything
packed and ready to go,
and I know of this place we
can have all to ourselves.
But we need to get there
before somebody else takes it.
This is crazy. Camping? A truck?
Crazy awesome.
[GIGGLES]
There's an eagle's nest
right above the river.
A pair of them.
We can have s'mores for breakfast
and watch the eagles fish.
- [SIGHS]
- Can we please go, Mom?
[SIGHS] Can we at least
wait until morning?
I still can't find my phone.
That's funny, because I found it
- in the car seat.
- [GASPS]
And got you a new high
score on Candy Crush.
[GIGGLES]
Who's your hero?
You are, Arthur.
Come on. We've been
talking about getting away.
And this spot is special.
Well, you sure are in a hurry.
I'm in a hurry to have fun. And
- s'mores for breakfast!
- S'mores for breakfast!
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Lord help me, but I wanna know
what you two geniuses were thinkin'.
About what?
You lie to me again and
your teeth go with it!
Whose bright idea was it to
drive a truck through a motel?
It was mine.
You should be talking to Cheyenne.
And why is that?
Caught her talkin' to that Jenny Hoyt.
[GROANS]
That ain't no way you solve a problem.
Alright, now, tomorrow,
we're gonna put your
brother in the ground.
And after that, we are going
to work on figuring out
what we're gonna do
with them barrels out
on the back pasture.
Now, I want you both to dig
a grave for Blake, by hand.
And while you're digging,
I want you to contemplate
the hole you're standing in.
And as it gets deeper,
I want you to look around
and consider what's gonna happen
if you screw up again.
'Cause if you do,
that's the last you're
gonna see of this ranch.
Here.
Thanks.
Exactly what happened?
The Kleinsassers happened.
They keep happening.
- You see a doctor?
- No, I'm fine.
You don't seem fine, Jenny.
I tried to protect Angela.
Just happened so fast.
Now, how did they even know
that you were meeting
her in the first place?
- I don't know.
- Sheriff Wagy?
No. He's definitely dirty,
but he didn't set her up.
If I hadn't asked Angela to come
meet me, she'd still be alive.
Oh, I don't like where that
line of thinking is heading
Denise, she stuck her neck out for me,
and she got killed for it.
That's on me.
Even if Sheriff Wagy
didn't set Angela up,
he's not gonna give her
a thorough investigation,
especially if he knows it'll
lead back to the Kleinsassers.
What we need to do is to find
out what they got on Wagy.
Now, I'd like to go on record
advocating for you to go home
and take a nice, hot lavender bath
- [LAUGHS]
- but I know that, uh,
the chances are greater that a
natural disaster will hit, so
Promise me you'll go home
first and get some rest.
I promise.
- What is it?
- Address for Nora Danvers,
the missing ranch hand's mother.
Thank you.
[BRAKES HISS]
[SIGHS]
[GRUNTS SLEEPILY]
Are we there yet?
Yes, we are.
Doesn't look like a regular campground.
Well, it's not exactly.
We'll have the whole place to ourselves.
Mm.
There's no service, either.
Why don't you take
Phoebe and go explore?
I'll unpack.
No, we can help you.
No, really, I got it.
Come on.
I want you to see it out there.
[BOOT ZIPS]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
I'll be there in a second!
How's Jenny?
Pretty shook up. What'd I miss?
Still no word on Mary's whereabouts.
We did find more blood in the main room.
Looks fatal, judging
by the amount of it.
What about her family?
She grew up in Utah,
father was splinter LDS.
She broke from the family
except for the youngest sister, Scarlet.
They both ended up in Montana.
CASSIE: So, Ronald meets this woman,
figures out she's about
to ID him, and stops her.
Phone, laptop, all missing
from the house.
From the call, this wasn't
a random encounter.
She knew him.
What about the man in the freezer?
Didn't want to waste any
time sending him to the lab.
Trefoil?
I'm good.
Trefoils get no love.
More of a Samoa gal myself,
but nothing wrong with a Trefoil.
Can we just talk about
what's going on with him?
Prints came back a match
for a Steve Lahren.
Disappeared eight years ago.
How'd he die?
- Pithed.
- What?
Ice pick to the back of the head.
Okay. Good to know.
Quick. Efficient.
Not Ronald's style.
I was thinking the same thing.
Lemme guess, you ran his name
and no connection either.
Correct.
I should get back to Jenny.
Let me know if you find anything.
If you're from the bank,
I got nothing for ya.
What I got, you ain't gonna like.
I'm not from the bank,
and I don't like them
any more than you do.
I'm a private investigator from Helena.
I'm here to find out what
happened to your son.
Who hired you?
Blake Kleinsasser.
- No. No.
- Wait
No, you're not coming around here
- and uttering that name!
- Blake's dead.
He's dead because he was trying
to go against his family.
That family is the curse of this town.
Oh, I know. I know, and I've
been trying to find out why,
and I think your son knew something.
Why is not gonna bring him back.
Now, don't tell me anything,
of that crap about closure.
Forget closure, then.
How about revenge?
Kleinsassers?
They're what we used
to call white trash.
You can't say that anymore,
but it's still true.
I always told Cole, "Now,
just stay away from them."
What was Cole hired to do on
that ranch in the first place?
He never told me what
he was doing there,
but he did tell me that he
seen something at the ranch.
He seen something that
he knew was wrong.
He didn't give me any
more details than that.
Then he disappeared.
And they make me into the nut
for asking about it.
Kleinsassers they sent
some man named Gil
to tell me some story
about how Cole had stolen a truck
from the ranch and run off.
You do know that he was
the ranch manager?
Well, he was lying through his teeth,
like somebody put him up to it.
Cole, he he never
called me after that.
He just vanished.
Need a zip?
I need a pill.
- [DRESS ZIPS]
- We are done with those.
Remember.
- Hmm.
- What happened?
With Blake.
I don't know.
Everybody in this family knows.
Please don't lie to me.
I can't take another one.
Stand up.
It was JW.
Why?
He and Blake had an argument,
about that ranch hand I asked
you about, Cole Danvers.
I wanted you to hear it first.
What about your father?
- Haven't told him.
- Don't.
I want to tell him.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Did I ever tell you
about the time right
after you were born,
when I came home from the
hospital the first night,
that he was sitting
at the kitchen table,
waiting for dinner?
Mnh-mnh.
Yeah, I'd had a terrible, terrible
time with you, of course, and
yeah, I could barely walk,
but there he sat,
pounding his fork and knife,
expecting, demanding that I make dinner.
So I set you down,
and I went to go and make him meatloaf,
his favorite, and
[SIGHS] only this time, I, um
I put rat poison in it.
Only his slice, though.
But you know what happened?
Nothing.
He just ate it all up.
He asked for another slice.
He drank a big old glass of milk.
He went to sleep, slept like a baby.
Woke up fit as a fiddle.
I swear to God, that man
is too damn mean to die.
JOHN WAYNE: We'll get through this.
Always do.
I don't want to go to jail.
They make you eat beans
and meatloaf and do push-ups,
and then you get knifed in the shower.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Gotta be honest.
I'm scared.
You ain't going to jail.
Like I said, the old
man'll take care of it.
- What if he can't?
- He will.
And if he doesn't, I'll take care of it,
just like I'm gonna take care of you.
We'll take over the ranch and
we'll run it together, alright?
We'll put Chey out to pasture.
We'll sell off a section, make bank.
It'll be good.
When you take over the ranch,
I wanna build one of them mazes.
- Okay.
- Only, like, a real one,
with, like, traps
with wild animals like
rattlesnakes, wasps, spiders,
maybe even a bear or
something like that,
and scare folks, 'cause
people love to be scared.
They get this look, you know?
It's their blood. You
can smell it, you know?
It's like it's it's trying to
come out of their glands.
What the hell you talking about?
Yeah, you could just get
'em to sign something
so if something happens to
'em, it's their own darn fault.
That's a bad idea, Rando.
No, it ain't.
I've thought it all out.
I got all these theme nights planned.
I got killer clowns, chainsaw cannibals.
I even got these freaky little kids
with the tiny little fangs.
[CHUCKLES]
No, I-I got all these drawings
I could show you.
I got all these good ideas
that come to me when I'm in the woods.
'Cause people love to
be scared, you know?
There could even be,
like, this final chamber
where I'm underneath
in the ground, in a
hole, kinda like this.
And I can put my hand up
and pull them down, make them
think they're really gonna die.
I could watch that all day.
Let's finish this up.
Talk about it later, alright?
It's gonna be awesome.
[GRUNTING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[GRUNTS]
Thank you.
Horst, I'd like to say a few
words at the grave today.
You don't have to ask
my permission for that.
You just say what's in your heart.
Oh, I don't think you want that.
What's that supposed to mean?
Do you want to know what's in my heart?
Why don't you lay down for a little bit?
- And do what?
- Collect yourself.
Oh, I'm collected.
I'm all done collecting myself.
I have no idea what you're
talking about anymore.
Because we don't talk.
Well, you talk, and I listen.
Or, well, I used to listen.
I used to love listening to you.
I used to love listening to you,
trying to understand you
and hear you and
[GIGGLES]
I can't do it anymore.
[SIGHS]
Well, you just go ahead
and do what you need to do.
What I need is to hear
you tell me one thing
that isn't a lie.
Before I put my son in the ground today,
I want you to tell me one truth.
A truth.
For once.
Here's a truth.
Every time I look at our children,
all I can see is everything
that's wrong with you.
It's like you got a
beautiful cowing calf,
perfect conformation,
bright, brown eyes,
straight back, wonderful expression.
And her calf comes out wrong.
Well, you figure that's
such a pretty cow.
You better give her another shot.
And you do, and that calf comes out
water-headed and blind, or three-legged.
And then you know what you've got to do.
You've got to put that cow down.
So you do, with a bolt to her neck,
and then you hang her from a hook
and you cut her into burger,
and you feed her to your family,
but at least you know she
did some good in the world.
But you
you ain't worth the slaughter no more.
You're just dog meat.
Hmm.
There you are.
There you are, Horst.
And all your truth.
That's the most honest thing
you've ever said to me.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
[CHUCKLES] And I hear it.
Loud and clear.
[CHUCKLES]
Now, that don't mean that I
don't intend to honor my vows.
[GRUNTS]
And keep this family together,
make sure the land gets passed on
the way it's always been passed on
when I'm gone.
I'm a man of my word, Margaret,
and this is my family and my land,
and there ain't nobody,
including the Good Lord himself,
gonna tell me what the
hell I'm gonna do with it.
A man does, Margaret.
A man does.
That's something you never understood.
A man does.
And what I'm going to do right now
is I'm going to bury our son.
You know when you're gone,
what's left won't be worth
a jar of cold spit, right?
Is that the best ya got?
Want my truth?
Dyin' to hear it.
[WHISPERING] I will kill you.
I expect nothing less.
I told you to leave us alone.
We spoke with Nora Danvers.
She said you came to
see her about her son.
[SIGHS]
I've been waiting for
this day a long time.
Dad, what are you talking about?
- Get inside.
- I'm not a child.
I don't need you to keep
trying to protect me.
I want to know the truth.
- What did you do?
- Rosie, please.
Gil, you can help us
make them pay for what they've done.
I tried to help Cole.
Told him to keep his head
down, take the paycheck,
which he did, for a while.
But then he started asking questions.
- Questions about what?
- I can't tell you that.
But he started causing problems.
One night, he got into
it with Horst, and
Rand saw them, and he killed Cole.
He thought he was protecting his father.
JENNY: What kind of problems
was Cole causing?
No. No, no. I can't do this.
Because whatever Horst was doing,
you helped him.
Horst trusted I wouldn't talk.
I was too mixed up in it.
It was the only reason I
got off that ranch alive.
So, then why did they fire you?
They didn't. They paid me off.
What was Horst doing on that land?
Montana gets the majority
of its drinkable water
from natural sources.
This here is the main source
to Missoula, Kalispell.
But 20 years ago came the shale boom,
contaminating everything in its wake.
Companies around the state,
like Borns Fracking, for example,
they had to make right.
Optically, at least.
They needed somewhere
to dump their waste.
And Horst was happy to give it to 'em.
Wagy brokered the deal,
and they split the profits 50/50.
At first, I-I didn't see the harm.
JENNY: There has to be
some sort of paper trail
contracts, receipts.
This doesn't sound
like a small operation.
It's not, but it's a smart one.
The dumping happened
on the back pasture,
and Horst keeps all the
documents under lock and key
in his office.
Both of which are monitored constantly.
Today's Blake's funeral.
Means they're expecting guests.
Lots of cars coming and going.
What's one more?
That's a horrible idea.
- You got a better one?
- I'm not dying on that ranch.
You can't keep running from them.
You owe it to Rosie
to do the right thing.
We're gonna eat after we bury him.
John Wayne's hungry.
You know, you don't always
have to do what he says.
John Wayne wants a sandwich.
I'm not talking about sandwiches, Rand.
[SIGHS]
I can't be talking to you.
Says JW?
Oh.
Look what you made me do.
Here. Let me help you.
Here.
There you go. You almost
look like a normal person
and not some super weird
methy psycho killer.
Leave me alone.
I will if you just tell me
what's going on in the back pasture.
How do you know about that?
Oh, I know all sorts of things
I ain't supposed to know.
Like what you did with that ranch hand
and what you did at that motel.
What? Are you gonna stab me?
Or do you need to check
with big brother?
- [KNIFE SLAMS]
- Oof.
Hey. Leave him alone.
I think Rand is pretty good
at defending himself.
He's also pretty good
at killin' ranch hands
and running trucks through motels
killed a lady there, too.
I think the only good thing
he's got going for him
is he ain't killed his brother.
Yet.
You know, I have half a mind
to tell Sheriff Wagy about
all the bad things I know,
but I don't think that's gonna
do us any good, now, is it?
You think you're so smart.
Keep running your mouth, I dare you.
You know Daddy raised
me better than that.
Seems you two got a whole big mess
- that needs sorting.
- We don't need your help.
Yes, you do, John Wayne.
You just don't know it yet.
All you gotta do is ask.
CASSIE: Why would they do this?
The Kleinsassers' whole
identity is about land.
Why would they poison it?
Better to poison it than to lose it.
- [CELLPHONE RINGING]
- Yeah.
Any luck with Mary?
LINDOR: Our freezer friend, Steve.
Apparently, he fathered a
child with Mary's sister.
- Scarlet?
- Yeah. They weren't married.
The kid took her mother's
name, but Steve's the dad.
How does this connect to Ronald?
I have no idea.
I'm not sure if Mary's a fly
caught in Ronald's web
- or the reverse.
- In this analogy,
I think they're both spiders.
Scarlet's been unreachable,
but we have her address.
I'm headed over there now
if you want to join me.
I can't right now, but we'll
be back in Helena by tonight.
Okay. I'll talk to you later.
- Can I come with you?
- [CELLPHONE BEEPS]
SCARLET: Arthur?
Arthur?
Arthur?
Arthur, is that you?
PHOEBE: Mom, what's that?
It's blood.
Ew. Gross.
Come on.
Let's go, honey.
We are revealed by our grief,
but we must bear it away into this land
and keep it with us forever.
Blake carried a burden
heavier than most.
He will be lighter for it now.
He was a good boy, gone too soon.
Margaret, would you
like to say a few words?
I'll miss him.
[WHISPERING] I know what you did.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[GROANS]
HORST: Let go, Margaret.
Arthur?
There you are.
Sorry, I thought I heard
something in the woods.
An animal, and I went to take a look,
and I got a little lost.
- We were worried.
- We found something.
- You did?
- A bloody leaf.
It was super gross.
It's probably nothing.
Maybe it was a wounded animal,
like a rabbit or a deer.
I hope it's okay.
The woods are full of
all kinds of animals.
Nice ones like the deer
and the bunny rabbit,
and then there are the animals
that need to hunt the nice ones,
like mountain lions,
bears, and even wolves,
and sometimes well, I'm sure
you're taught this in school
but they kill each other.
But it's not a bad thing.
It's what these animals do
because they want to stay alive,
and to stay alive, they have
to eat the nice animals.
And sometimes, we're
lucky enough to find
traces of the struggle, like
the blood, but it's okay.
That's nature's way
of achieving balance.
If it weren't for those predators,
we'd be a herd of weak, useless animals,
munching on grass, staring at clouds.
We're made better by the knowledge
that there are things out
there that can kill us.
Okay. Can we not talk
about this anymore?
Let's go set up the tent
before it gets dark.
- Yeah.
- Sure.
Did I do something wrong?
Phoebe doesn't need to be scared.
I was just trying to tell her
the truth about animals.
She should know what kind
of place the world is.
She's 10.
Right.
Remember, she's never
been camping before,
and you promised this would be fun.
You're right. I'm sorry.
Maybe later you can show me
where you found this blood
so I can make sure there's
no bad animals around.
No. There's no need for that. It's fine.
Let's finish setting up,
and then maybe we can build a fire,
we can have some s'mores?
Yes.
I'm sorry. I-I just want to protect you.
I know. It's okay.
JERRIE: That's it
Mary's sister's house.
- Wait here.
- Well, hold on.
I didn't come all this
way to sit in the car.
[CHUCKLES] Listen.
You got a knack for this PI stuff,
but it's not a life I'd recommend.
And long nights aside,
the stuff you see can
really break your heart.
I've already seen the worst in people.
Besides, I'm gonna be a
famous singer, remember?
[CHUCKLES] Of course.
But I just want to make sure you know
there are other paths you can choose.
Because if you don't,
this job chooses you.
That what happened to you?
I guess you could say that.
I mean, I was studying
to be a psychologist.
[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]
But then I interned at a
criminal behavioral unit,
realized I was pretty good
at getting under the hood
of guys like Ronald,
and before I knew it,
I'd enrolled at the academy.
And, uh, then I lost my sister.
To a man like Ronald.
That's awful.
Like I said, the job chooses you.
Well, I have to close this chapter
before I can open a new one.
And if I can be part of
taking down Ronald
even better.
How do you feel about guns?
My dad used to take me to the range.
[GLOVE COMPARTMENT OPENS]
Up to you.
GIL: We gotta go if we're gonna go.
- Let's do this.
- And get out.
CASSIE: How do you keep
this sort of thing hidden?
However they need to.
Whole operation
ballooned over the years.
Horst kept buying up land so
we could dump more onto it,
and it just spiraled from there.
Oh, my g
- [GRUNTS]
- [COUGHING]
These were illegals who got
poisoned moving this stuff.
And other folks who crossed them.
There's a lot of bodies.
Take the picture and let's go.
I need to get a soil sample first.
Here. Let me do it.
I'll do it.
[SINGSONG VOICE] Mm, you're in trouble.
Do you even know what
Blake was gonna do?
Doesn't matter much now, does it?
Hey, remember what I told you
about putting nails in your mouth.
Maybe you should get some real food.
I hear they don't have
cookies in prison.
[CHUCKLES]
That was a beautiful service.
You spoke some fine words.
How's, uh, Margaret holdin' up?
She's emotional.
You know I'm gonna have to bring Rand in
for questioning at least.
There's talk of State getting involved.
- So what?
- Them boys are a thorough sort.
They won't look kindly on
the events at the motel.
You want to take Rand,
you're free to come on the
ranch any time you want.
Same with the State boys.
I'll be sure to give them
a warm welcome.
Horst, this ain't something
you can manage alone.
Let me talk to him first.
I'll get his alibi such as it is.
But you're gonna have to
extend an olive branch.
The only branch I'm going
to be extending is my .270.
I may be crippled, but I'm still
good with it out to 500 yards.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]
I want you to hang this.
I said hang it.
I want everyone to see
what lives in this house.
Uh, maybe we should wait
until the guests leave.
No. I want it hung now.
All of you. Now.
Yeah.
Everybody out. Now.
I made it for Blake.
We're going to come together.
Is that understood?
Because if we do not, we are
going to lose everything.
Have you got something to say?
- No, sir.
- I think you do.
I want to go to Paris.
I want to see that
painting in that tower.
Nobody is going anywhere until we
until we solve our problem.
Sit down.
Her car's in the driveway.
[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]
LINDOR: Excuse me.
Oh, uh, can I help you?
We're looking for Scarlet Leyendecker.
She's not home.
Left in the middle of the
night in that damn truck
with her boyfriend and daughter.
Truck? Do Do you
mean, like, a-a pickup
or an RV? That sort of thing?
No, no, like one of those big
rigs you see on the interstate.
Rattled the windows.
Uh, I-I'm sorry. Who
did you say you were?
Friends of the family. We We
drove in all the way from Utah.
This is Scarlet's boyfriend, right?
This must be an old photo.
His hair's grown out some.
Not my style, but to each their own.
Thanks for your help.
Ah
[TOMMY JAMES AND THE SHONDELLS'
"CRIMSON & CLOVER" PLAYS]
Now I don't hardly know her
But I think I could love her
- Crimson and clover
- [RINGING]
Horst.
You got a problem.
Ah
Now when she comes walking over
Now I've been waitin' to show her
Crimson and clover
Over and over
Yeah
Ba-da, da-da, da-da
My, my such a sweet thing
Ba-da, da-da, da-da
- What's wrong?
- Thought I saw something.
I wanna do everything
Come on. Let's get out of here.
- [VEHICLE APPROACHING]
- Oh, no.
Over and over
Run!
Yeah
Ba-da, da-da, da-da
What a beautiful feeling
Ba-da, da-da, da-da
Crimson and clover
Ba-da, da-da, da-da
Over and over
What are you doing?
Previously on "Big Sky"
Burying this is not gonna
wash away what we've done.
We're in enough trouble with
what you did with Rosie!
It's over, brother.
- [GASPS]
- [BODY THUDS]
Blake didn't do this to Rosie.
And you know who did.
The things that family's capable of
Worked for them for 25 years.
The one thing I know is
that they're ruthless.
You want to take them
on, you leave us out.
From the moment that I met Arthur,
I recognized him.
I think we may have gotten
off on the wrong foot.
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]
You called those
private investigators
Cassie Dewell and Jenny Hoyt?
MARY: I didn't tell anyone. Please.
- Liar!
- You're a monster!
Stop saying that!
CASSIE: Denise has been
calling Mary all morning.
And now her phone's going
straight to voicemail.
LINDOR: Ms. Leyendecker?!
Angela, why don't you
tell me what's going on?
-
- ANGELA: Proof the sheriff knew
what happened to Rosie was no accident.
Why is everyone so
afraid of this family?
[SCREAMS]
Whoo! Yeah!
[JENNY GROANS]
[SHUDDERS]
- [SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE]
- [COUGHS]
EARL: Help is coming.
Angela. Angela. Angela.
[GASPING] Angela.
Oh, God.
Did you open the door?
No. Why?
Somebody was here.
LINDOR: It's Ronald. He was watching us.
He went to the trouble
of taking her body,
even when he knew we were onto him.
There's a reason for that.
We don't know that she's dead yet.
Come on. I'll put out a call for backup.
- LINDOR: We'll get him.
- [SIGHS] Yeah.
Is this another one of
your manifestations?
No. He'll slip up.
Please stop saying that.
Slipping up means somebody else dies.
[CELLPHONE RINGS]
[SIGHS] Hey.
What?
What is it?
Jenny.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS,
CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
- Know where you are?
- I'm good.
- [GROANS]
- Just want to look here.
Alright.
Why don't you let the
docs take a look at you?
Get away from me.
I told you and your
friend to leave Lochsa.
The Kleinsassers did this.
Well, we don't know what happened yet.
That's BS. You know
damn well that they did.
And that makes you an accessory.
That's a big word, lady.
You been doing the Kleinsassers'
dirty work for years.
You know what?
If I'm not mistaken, you're
just a private investigator,
which gives you squat when
it comes to authority,
let alone jurisdiction.
I don't care about your jurisdiction.
Angela's dead because of you.
You're not gonna get away with this.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]
- Oh, no, I got it.
- He's waiting for us now.
Gonna be a long night.
Thank you.
Mm, sure you want to see all this?
Well, it's either this
or not sleep all night,
check the locks on the doors,
and watch bad Mark Wahlberg movies.
[CHUCKLES]
I won't feel safe until he's caught.
That's understandable.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
RONALD: You think I won't kill you?
Ronald do that?
Can't rule it out.
So, you said you had something
about Mary's family?
She has a sister who
lives not too far away.
- Rand did this?
- You know damn well it was.
He killed Angela.
Angela was one of my people.
Now, what I wanna know,
Horst, is did you order this?
No, I did not.
Well, you better get control
of your operation.
Don't tell me my business.
- I'll run my own.
- Really?
Well, you see, Horst,
I got two witnesses
who put Rand at the motel.
And, uh, that Jenny
Hoyt, that investigator
Blake brought up here she survived.
That problem ain't going away.
I am sorry about the girl,
Angela. I truly am.
But I have witnesses that put
Rand right here on the ranch.
Ain't like how it used to be.
Angela was there talking
to the investigator.
What does that mean?
Well, they weren't havin' a
pajama party, that's for sure.
Found this at the scene.
Dumping record of all them chemicals
you been putting on your ranch.
Where'd she get this?
- From Gil?
- I don't know.
- You gotta fix this.
- Naw.
Not this time.
This is your mess.
I am putting my boy in
the ground tomorrow.
You need to give me some
time to figure this out.
There ain't nothin'
to figure out, Horst.
This is where I get off.
I can't protect ya.
[DOOR OPENS]
Damn it!
Rough night, Sheriff?
What the hell is this?
The future.
Where annoying women
run things like ranches,
multi-national corporations,
even countries.
What in Sam Hell are you talkin' about?
Didn't mean to blow your good
ole boy brain, there, Sheriff.
I can see you're here
on important business.
Lemme guess,
Rand or JW?
You best shut your mouth.
I don't know why all you men
feel the need to keep telling me that.
You have no idea who
you're messing with.
Actually, it's the other way around.
You have a nice night, Sheriff.
See you in the future.
RONALD: And surprise.
- PHOEBE: Whoa!
- SCARLET: What?
Camping right now? In this?
Come on. I've been
wanting to surprise you.
With a truck? We have a
perfectly good mini-van.
Wait till you get inside.
I got a great deal on it.
You can drive a truck?
I have many skills that you
don't know about, Scarlet.
It's so cool. I want to go for a ride.
Come on. I got everything
packed and ready to go,
and I know of this place we
can have all to ourselves.
But we need to get there
before somebody else takes it.
This is crazy. Camping? A truck?
Crazy awesome.
[GIGGLES]
There's an eagle's nest
right above the river.
A pair of them.
We can have s'mores for breakfast
and watch the eagles fish.
- [SIGHS]
- Can we please go, Mom?
[SIGHS] Can we at least
wait until morning?
I still can't find my phone.
That's funny, because I found it
- in the car seat.
- [GASPS]
And got you a new high
score on Candy Crush.
[GIGGLES]
Who's your hero?
You are, Arthur.
Come on. We've been
talking about getting away.
And this spot is special.
Well, you sure are in a hurry.
I'm in a hurry to have fun. And
- s'mores for breakfast!
- S'mores for breakfast!
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Lord help me, but I wanna know
what you two geniuses were thinkin'.
About what?
You lie to me again and
your teeth go with it!
Whose bright idea was it to
drive a truck through a motel?
It was mine.
You should be talking to Cheyenne.
And why is that?
Caught her talkin' to that Jenny Hoyt.
[GROANS]
That ain't no way you solve a problem.
Alright, now, tomorrow,
we're gonna put your
brother in the ground.
And after that, we are going
to work on figuring out
what we're gonna do
with them barrels out
on the back pasture.
Now, I want you both to dig
a grave for Blake, by hand.
And while you're digging,
I want you to contemplate
the hole you're standing in.
And as it gets deeper,
I want you to look around
and consider what's gonna happen
if you screw up again.
'Cause if you do,
that's the last you're
gonna see of this ranch.
Here.
Thanks.
Exactly what happened?
The Kleinsassers happened.
They keep happening.
- You see a doctor?
- No, I'm fine.
You don't seem fine, Jenny.
I tried to protect Angela.
Just happened so fast.
Now, how did they even know
that you were meeting
her in the first place?
- I don't know.
- Sheriff Wagy?
No. He's definitely dirty,
but he didn't set her up.
If I hadn't asked Angela to come
meet me, she'd still be alive.
Oh, I don't like where that
line of thinking is heading
Denise, she stuck her neck out for me,
and she got killed for it.
That's on me.
Even if Sheriff Wagy
didn't set Angela up,
he's not gonna give her
a thorough investigation,
especially if he knows it'll
lead back to the Kleinsassers.
What we need to do is to find
out what they got on Wagy.
Now, I'd like to go on record
advocating for you to go home
and take a nice, hot lavender bath
- [LAUGHS]
- but I know that, uh,
the chances are greater that a
natural disaster will hit, so
Promise me you'll go home
first and get some rest.
I promise.
- What is it?
- Address for Nora Danvers,
the missing ranch hand's mother.
Thank you.
[BRAKES HISS]
[SIGHS]
[GRUNTS SLEEPILY]
Are we there yet?
Yes, we are.
Doesn't look like a regular campground.
Well, it's not exactly.
We'll have the whole place to ourselves.
Mm.
There's no service, either.
Why don't you take
Phoebe and go explore?
I'll unpack.
No, we can help you.
No, really, I got it.
Come on.
I want you to see it out there.
[BOOT ZIPS]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
I'll be there in a second!
How's Jenny?
Pretty shook up. What'd I miss?
Still no word on Mary's whereabouts.
We did find more blood in the main room.
Looks fatal, judging
by the amount of it.
What about her family?
She grew up in Utah,
father was splinter LDS.
She broke from the family
except for the youngest sister, Scarlet.
They both ended up in Montana.
CASSIE: So, Ronald meets this woman,
figures out she's about
to ID him, and stops her.
Phone, laptop, all missing
from the house.
From the call, this wasn't
a random encounter.
She knew him.
What about the man in the freezer?
Didn't want to waste any
time sending him to the lab.
Trefoil?
I'm good.
Trefoils get no love.
More of a Samoa gal myself,
but nothing wrong with a Trefoil.
Can we just talk about
what's going on with him?
Prints came back a match
for a Steve Lahren.
Disappeared eight years ago.
How'd he die?
- Pithed.
- What?
Ice pick to the back of the head.
Okay. Good to know.
Quick. Efficient.
Not Ronald's style.
I was thinking the same thing.
Lemme guess, you ran his name
and no connection either.
Correct.
I should get back to Jenny.
Let me know if you find anything.
If you're from the bank,
I got nothing for ya.
What I got, you ain't gonna like.
I'm not from the bank,
and I don't like them
any more than you do.
I'm a private investigator from Helena.
I'm here to find out what
happened to your son.
Who hired you?
Blake Kleinsasser.
- No. No.
- Wait
No, you're not coming around here
- and uttering that name!
- Blake's dead.
He's dead because he was trying
to go against his family.
That family is the curse of this town.
Oh, I know. I know, and I've
been trying to find out why,
and I think your son knew something.
Why is not gonna bring him back.
Now, don't tell me anything,
of that crap about closure.
Forget closure, then.
How about revenge?
Kleinsassers?
They're what we used
to call white trash.
You can't say that anymore,
but it's still true.
I always told Cole, "Now,
just stay away from them."
What was Cole hired to do on
that ranch in the first place?
He never told me what
he was doing there,
but he did tell me that he
seen something at the ranch.
He seen something that
he knew was wrong.
He didn't give me any
more details than that.
Then he disappeared.
And they make me into the nut
for asking about it.
Kleinsassers they sent
some man named Gil
to tell me some story
about how Cole had stolen a truck
from the ranch and run off.
You do know that he was
the ranch manager?
Well, he was lying through his teeth,
like somebody put him up to it.
Cole, he he never
called me after that.
He just vanished.
Need a zip?
I need a pill.
- [DRESS ZIPS]
- We are done with those.
Remember.
- Hmm.
- What happened?
With Blake.
I don't know.
Everybody in this family knows.
Please don't lie to me.
I can't take another one.
Stand up.
It was JW.
Why?
He and Blake had an argument,
about that ranch hand I asked
you about, Cole Danvers.
I wanted you to hear it first.
What about your father?
- Haven't told him.
- Don't.
I want to tell him.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Did I ever tell you
about the time right
after you were born,
when I came home from the
hospital the first night,
that he was sitting
at the kitchen table,
waiting for dinner?
Mnh-mnh.
Yeah, I'd had a terrible, terrible
time with you, of course, and
yeah, I could barely walk,
but there he sat,
pounding his fork and knife,
expecting, demanding that I make dinner.
So I set you down,
and I went to go and make him meatloaf,
his favorite, and
[SIGHS] only this time, I, um
I put rat poison in it.
Only his slice, though.
But you know what happened?
Nothing.
He just ate it all up.
He asked for another slice.
He drank a big old glass of milk.
He went to sleep, slept like a baby.
Woke up fit as a fiddle.
I swear to God, that man
is too damn mean to die.
JOHN WAYNE: We'll get through this.
Always do.
I don't want to go to jail.
They make you eat beans
and meatloaf and do push-ups,
and then you get knifed in the shower.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Gotta be honest.
I'm scared.
You ain't going to jail.
Like I said, the old
man'll take care of it.
- What if he can't?
- He will.
And if he doesn't, I'll take care of it,
just like I'm gonna take care of you.
We'll take over the ranch and
we'll run it together, alright?
We'll put Chey out to pasture.
We'll sell off a section, make bank.
It'll be good.
When you take over the ranch,
I wanna build one of them mazes.
- Okay.
- Only, like, a real one,
with, like, traps
with wild animals like
rattlesnakes, wasps, spiders,
maybe even a bear or
something like that,
and scare folks, 'cause
people love to be scared.
They get this look, you know?
It's their blood. You
can smell it, you know?
It's like it's it's trying to
come out of their glands.
What the hell you talking about?
Yeah, you could just get
'em to sign something
so if something happens to
'em, it's their own darn fault.
That's a bad idea, Rando.
No, it ain't.
I've thought it all out.
I got all these theme nights planned.
I got killer clowns, chainsaw cannibals.
I even got these freaky little kids
with the tiny little fangs.
[CHUCKLES]
No, I-I got all these drawings
I could show you.
I got all these good ideas
that come to me when I'm in the woods.
'Cause people love to
be scared, you know?
There could even be,
like, this final chamber
where I'm underneath
in the ground, in a
hole, kinda like this.
And I can put my hand up
and pull them down, make them
think they're really gonna die.
I could watch that all day.
Let's finish this up.
Talk about it later, alright?
It's gonna be awesome.
[GRUNTING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[GRUNTS]
Thank you.
Horst, I'd like to say a few
words at the grave today.
You don't have to ask
my permission for that.
You just say what's in your heart.
Oh, I don't think you want that.
What's that supposed to mean?
Do you want to know what's in my heart?
Why don't you lay down for a little bit?
- And do what?
- Collect yourself.
Oh, I'm collected.
I'm all done collecting myself.
I have no idea what you're
talking about anymore.
Because we don't talk.
Well, you talk, and I listen.
Or, well, I used to listen.
I used to love listening to you.
I used to love listening to you,
trying to understand you
and hear you and
[GIGGLES]
I can't do it anymore.
[SIGHS]
Well, you just go ahead
and do what you need to do.
What I need is to hear
you tell me one thing
that isn't a lie.
Before I put my son in the ground today,
I want you to tell me one truth.
A truth.
For once.
Here's a truth.
Every time I look at our children,
all I can see is everything
that's wrong with you.
It's like you got a
beautiful cowing calf,
perfect conformation,
bright, brown eyes,
straight back, wonderful expression.
And her calf comes out wrong.
Well, you figure that's
such a pretty cow.
You better give her another shot.
And you do, and that calf comes out
water-headed and blind, or three-legged.
And then you know what you've got to do.
You've got to put that cow down.
So you do, with a bolt to her neck,
and then you hang her from a hook
and you cut her into burger,
and you feed her to your family,
but at least you know she
did some good in the world.
But you
you ain't worth the slaughter no more.
You're just dog meat.
Hmm.
There you are.
There you are, Horst.
And all your truth.
That's the most honest thing
you've ever said to me.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
[CHUCKLES] And I hear it.
Loud and clear.
[CHUCKLES]
Now, that don't mean that I
don't intend to honor my vows.
[GRUNTS]
And keep this family together,
make sure the land gets passed on
the way it's always been passed on
when I'm gone.
I'm a man of my word, Margaret,
and this is my family and my land,
and there ain't nobody,
including the Good Lord himself,
gonna tell me what the
hell I'm gonna do with it.
A man does, Margaret.
A man does.
That's something you never understood.
A man does.
And what I'm going to do right now
is I'm going to bury our son.
You know when you're gone,
what's left won't be worth
a jar of cold spit, right?
Is that the best ya got?
Want my truth?
Dyin' to hear it.
[WHISPERING] I will kill you.
I expect nothing less.
I told you to leave us alone.
We spoke with Nora Danvers.
She said you came to
see her about her son.
[SIGHS]
I've been waiting for
this day a long time.
Dad, what are you talking about?
- Get inside.
- I'm not a child.
I don't need you to keep
trying to protect me.
I want to know the truth.
- What did you do?
- Rosie, please.
Gil, you can help us
make them pay for what they've done.
I tried to help Cole.
Told him to keep his head
down, take the paycheck,
which he did, for a while.
But then he started asking questions.
- Questions about what?
- I can't tell you that.
But he started causing problems.
One night, he got into
it with Horst, and
Rand saw them, and he killed Cole.
He thought he was protecting his father.
JENNY: What kind of problems
was Cole causing?
No. No, no. I can't do this.
Because whatever Horst was doing,
you helped him.
Horst trusted I wouldn't talk.
I was too mixed up in it.
It was the only reason I
got off that ranch alive.
So, then why did they fire you?
They didn't. They paid me off.
What was Horst doing on that land?
Montana gets the majority
of its drinkable water
from natural sources.
This here is the main source
to Missoula, Kalispell.
But 20 years ago came the shale boom,
contaminating everything in its wake.
Companies around the state,
like Borns Fracking, for example,
they had to make right.
Optically, at least.
They needed somewhere
to dump their waste.
And Horst was happy to give it to 'em.
Wagy brokered the deal,
and they split the profits 50/50.
At first, I-I didn't see the harm.
JENNY: There has to be
some sort of paper trail
contracts, receipts.
This doesn't sound
like a small operation.
It's not, but it's a smart one.
The dumping happened
on the back pasture,
and Horst keeps all the
documents under lock and key
in his office.
Both of which are monitored constantly.
Today's Blake's funeral.
Means they're expecting guests.
Lots of cars coming and going.
What's one more?
That's a horrible idea.
- You got a better one?
- I'm not dying on that ranch.
You can't keep running from them.
You owe it to Rosie
to do the right thing.
We're gonna eat after we bury him.
John Wayne's hungry.
You know, you don't always
have to do what he says.
John Wayne wants a sandwich.
I'm not talking about sandwiches, Rand.
[SIGHS]
I can't be talking to you.
Says JW?
Oh.
Look what you made me do.
Here. Let me help you.
Here.
There you go. You almost
look like a normal person
and not some super weird
methy psycho killer.
Leave me alone.
I will if you just tell me
what's going on in the back pasture.
How do you know about that?
Oh, I know all sorts of things
I ain't supposed to know.
Like what you did with that ranch hand
and what you did at that motel.
What? Are you gonna stab me?
Or do you need to check
with big brother?
- [KNIFE SLAMS]
- Oof.
Hey. Leave him alone.
I think Rand is pretty good
at defending himself.
He's also pretty good
at killin' ranch hands
and running trucks through motels
killed a lady there, too.
I think the only good thing
he's got going for him
is he ain't killed his brother.
Yet.
You know, I have half a mind
to tell Sheriff Wagy about
all the bad things I know,
but I don't think that's gonna
do us any good, now, is it?
You think you're so smart.
Keep running your mouth, I dare you.
You know Daddy raised
me better than that.
Seems you two got a whole big mess
- that needs sorting.
- We don't need your help.
Yes, you do, John Wayne.
You just don't know it yet.
All you gotta do is ask.
CASSIE: Why would they do this?
The Kleinsassers' whole
identity is about land.
Why would they poison it?
Better to poison it than to lose it.
- [CELLPHONE RINGING]
- Yeah.
Any luck with Mary?
LINDOR: Our freezer friend, Steve.
Apparently, he fathered a
child with Mary's sister.
- Scarlet?
- Yeah. They weren't married.
The kid took her mother's
name, but Steve's the dad.
How does this connect to Ronald?
I have no idea.
I'm not sure if Mary's a fly
caught in Ronald's web
- or the reverse.
- In this analogy,
I think they're both spiders.
Scarlet's been unreachable,
but we have her address.
I'm headed over there now
if you want to join me.
I can't right now, but we'll
be back in Helena by tonight.
Okay. I'll talk to you later.
- Can I come with you?
- [CELLPHONE BEEPS]
SCARLET: Arthur?
Arthur?
Arthur?
Arthur, is that you?
PHOEBE: Mom, what's that?
It's blood.
Ew. Gross.
Come on.
Let's go, honey.
We are revealed by our grief,
but we must bear it away into this land
and keep it with us forever.
Blake carried a burden
heavier than most.
He will be lighter for it now.
He was a good boy, gone too soon.
Margaret, would you
like to say a few words?
I'll miss him.
[WHISPERING] I know what you did.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[GROANS]
HORST: Let go, Margaret.
Arthur?
There you are.
Sorry, I thought I heard
something in the woods.
An animal, and I went to take a look,
and I got a little lost.
- We were worried.
- We found something.
- You did?
- A bloody leaf.
It was super gross.
It's probably nothing.
Maybe it was a wounded animal,
like a rabbit or a deer.
I hope it's okay.
The woods are full of
all kinds of animals.
Nice ones like the deer
and the bunny rabbit,
and then there are the animals
that need to hunt the nice ones,
like mountain lions,
bears, and even wolves,
and sometimes well, I'm sure
you're taught this in school
but they kill each other.
But it's not a bad thing.
It's what these animals do
because they want to stay alive,
and to stay alive, they have
to eat the nice animals.
And sometimes, we're
lucky enough to find
traces of the struggle, like
the blood, but it's okay.
That's nature's way
of achieving balance.
If it weren't for those predators,
we'd be a herd of weak, useless animals,
munching on grass, staring at clouds.
We're made better by the knowledge
that there are things out
there that can kill us.
Okay. Can we not talk
about this anymore?
Let's go set up the tent
before it gets dark.
- Yeah.
- Sure.
Did I do something wrong?
Phoebe doesn't need to be scared.
I was just trying to tell her
the truth about animals.
She should know what kind
of place the world is.
She's 10.
Right.
Remember, she's never
been camping before,
and you promised this would be fun.
You're right. I'm sorry.
Maybe later you can show me
where you found this blood
so I can make sure there's
no bad animals around.
No. There's no need for that. It's fine.
Let's finish setting up,
and then maybe we can build a fire,
we can have some s'mores?
Yes.
I'm sorry. I-I just want to protect you.
I know. It's okay.
JERRIE: That's it
Mary's sister's house.
- Wait here.
- Well, hold on.
I didn't come all this
way to sit in the car.
[CHUCKLES] Listen.
You got a knack for this PI stuff,
but it's not a life I'd recommend.
And long nights aside,
the stuff you see can
really break your heart.
I've already seen the worst in people.
Besides, I'm gonna be a
famous singer, remember?
[CHUCKLES] Of course.
But I just want to make sure you know
there are other paths you can choose.
Because if you don't,
this job chooses you.
That what happened to you?
I guess you could say that.
I mean, I was studying
to be a psychologist.
[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]
But then I interned at a
criminal behavioral unit,
realized I was pretty good
at getting under the hood
of guys like Ronald,
and before I knew it,
I'd enrolled at the academy.
And, uh, then I lost my sister.
To a man like Ronald.
That's awful.
Like I said, the job chooses you.
Well, I have to close this chapter
before I can open a new one.
And if I can be part of
taking down Ronald
even better.
How do you feel about guns?
My dad used to take me to the range.
[GLOVE COMPARTMENT OPENS]
Up to you.
GIL: We gotta go if we're gonna go.
- Let's do this.
- And get out.
CASSIE: How do you keep
this sort of thing hidden?
However they need to.
Whole operation
ballooned over the years.
Horst kept buying up land so
we could dump more onto it,
and it just spiraled from there.
Oh, my g
- [GRUNTS]
- [COUGHING]
These were illegals who got
poisoned moving this stuff.
And other folks who crossed them.
There's a lot of bodies.
Take the picture and let's go.
I need to get a soil sample first.
Here. Let me do it.
I'll do it.
[SINGSONG VOICE] Mm, you're in trouble.
Do you even know what
Blake was gonna do?
Doesn't matter much now, does it?
Hey, remember what I told you
about putting nails in your mouth.
Maybe you should get some real food.
I hear they don't have
cookies in prison.
[CHUCKLES]
That was a beautiful service.
You spoke some fine words.
How's, uh, Margaret holdin' up?
She's emotional.
You know I'm gonna have to bring Rand in
for questioning at least.
There's talk of State getting involved.
- So what?
- Them boys are a thorough sort.
They won't look kindly on
the events at the motel.
You want to take Rand,
you're free to come on the
ranch any time you want.
Same with the State boys.
I'll be sure to give them
a warm welcome.
Horst, this ain't something
you can manage alone.
Let me talk to him first.
I'll get his alibi such as it is.
But you're gonna have to
extend an olive branch.
The only branch I'm going
to be extending is my .270.
I may be crippled, but I'm still
good with it out to 500 yards.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]
I want you to hang this.
I said hang it.
I want everyone to see
what lives in this house.
Uh, maybe we should wait
until the guests leave.
No. I want it hung now.
All of you. Now.
Yeah.
Everybody out. Now.
I made it for Blake.
We're going to come together.
Is that understood?
Because if we do not, we are
going to lose everything.
Have you got something to say?
- No, sir.
- I think you do.
I want to go to Paris.
I want to see that
painting in that tower.
Nobody is going anywhere until we
until we solve our problem.
Sit down.
Her car's in the driveway.
[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]
LINDOR: Excuse me.
Oh, uh, can I help you?
We're looking for Scarlet Leyendecker.
She's not home.
Left in the middle of the
night in that damn truck
with her boyfriend and daughter.
Truck? Do Do you
mean, like, a-a pickup
or an RV? That sort of thing?
No, no, like one of those big
rigs you see on the interstate.
Rattled the windows.
Uh, I-I'm sorry. Who
did you say you were?
Friends of the family. We We
drove in all the way from Utah.
This is Scarlet's boyfriend, right?
This must be an old photo.
His hair's grown out some.
Not my style, but to each their own.
Thanks for your help.
Ah
[TOMMY JAMES AND THE SHONDELLS'
"CRIMSON & CLOVER" PLAYS]
Now I don't hardly know her
But I think I could love her
- Crimson and clover
- [RINGING]
Horst.
You got a problem.
Ah
Now when she comes walking over
Now I've been waitin' to show her
Crimson and clover
Over and over
Yeah
Ba-da, da-da, da-da
My, my such a sweet thing
Ba-da, da-da, da-da
- What's wrong?
- Thought I saw something.
I wanna do everything
Come on. Let's get out of here.
- [VEHICLE APPROACHING]
- Oh, no.
Over and over
Run!
Yeah
Ba-da, da-da, da-da
What a beautiful feeling
Ba-da, da-da, da-da
Crimson and clover
Ba-da, da-da, da-da
Over and over
What are you doing?
