The Last Thing He Told Me (2023) s02e02 Episode Script

Safe

1
[CHARLIE] Hannah?
Hannah, did you hear me?
Yeah [CLEARS THROAT] I hear you.
I just
When did, uh
When did Nicholas
[CHARLIE] Last night.
What is this number, anyway?
I've been trying to call
you and Bailey for hours.
[STAMMERS] It's a burner I [SIGHS]
- [CHARLIE] Wait, what happened?
- [SIGHS] These men came to my house.
[CHARLIE] Are you okay?
I'm okay. We're both fine. We
We got out of the city. We're safe.
[CHARLIE] You need to come here.
You need to get to Austin now.
I wish I could say more, but
We probably shouldn't even be
talking on the phone right now.
- Okay.
- [CHARLIE] Come to the Sanctuary
- as soon as you can.
- Yeah.
What is it? What's going on?
Nicholas had another heart attack.
He's not okay, is he?
I'm so sorry.
- Did you know?
- About Nicholas? No.
No, I'm just as shocked as you are.
Why are you here?
[SIGHS] Owen sent me. W-Wanted
me to make sure that you were
- that you were protected.
- Protected?
Can you please get us a room
so we can talk privately?
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
[SIGHS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I'm sorry.
He seemed fine at the party
last week. Didn't he seem fine?
[SIGHS]
- He did.
- [SIGHS]
Nothing lasts, does it?
No.
And you always want more
time with your people.
I feel like I was just starting
to really get to know him.
Yeah, I know.
Uh, Hannah, we should really
You ready to go inside?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
It's just here to the left.
[HANNAH] So they come for us right
after what happened with Nicholas.
I mean, it's too fast
to be a coincidence.
Yeah.
A year ago after, uh, Nicholas
had his first heart attack,
Owen reached out, told me his concerns.
The deal. He was worried Frank
would stop honoring
it when Nicholas died.
[GRADY] I told him there was only
one way to guarantee your safety,
but he was already a step ahead of me.
Finish the job he started 17 years ago.
Y-You mean try to
take down the Campanos?
Yeah. Pretty much.
[BIKERS SHOUTING]
- [ENGINE REVVING]
- What? Grady?
Is it okay?
[SIGHS] Uh, yeah.
- Just a bunch of bikers.
- [SIGHS] So, look, h
How are you gonna
take down the Campanos?
Uh, the less you know the better.
- Are you kidding me?
- Oh, yeah, Grady
- I'm trying to protect you.
- And how's that going?
Hey. I don't need your shit right now.
You have no idea what I've
been through for you two.
Oh, what you've been through?
Men just broke into Hannah's
house and tried to
I think what Bailey is trying to
say is if you want us to cooperate,
you need to keep us in the loop.
When no one testified
against the Campanos,
the family took a hit.
Yeah, that was years ago. Nicholas
said they're stronger than ever.
They are, but only because
they started dealing drugs
for some pretty nasty people.
So, these people they're working with,
are they worse than the Campanos?
It's an international
narcotics syndicate.
It's the fucking big leagues.
And these are the people you
and Owen are messing with?
Yeah. It's the only way
to nail Frank, Hannah.
Come on.
[BENNY] Hey, baby. Is she asleep yet?
Can I say good night?
[HANNAH] I don't understand.
Nicholas said the Campanos got
out of hard drugs years ago.
Frank decided it wasn't worth the risk.
- [CLAMORING CONTINUES]
- Crime's gone global,
competition's steep.
Maybe Frank had to get
in bed with a bigger fish.
So what happens when these
people, this "bigger fish,"
finds out that you've
been screwing with them?
I've been in contact with
the US Attorney's Office,
and they have agreed to keep
Owen and I out of the courts.
Their narcotics syndicate will
never know that we were involved.
- You're involved now.
- Strictly below the radar.
What does that mean?
I would rather not get into it.
- Oh, come on. Please.
- I am trying to keep your husband safe.
The less people who
know what he's up to
I think you can trust us.
You said you need to prove the Campanos
are moving drugs for this syndicate.
How are you doing that?
About a year ago, Owen got
a job at the Houston docks.
He's in Houston? Is he crazy?
- He is being careful.
- He's in their backyard.
Which is why he's using an
alias, keeping a low profile.
But if the Campanos find out
He knows the risks, Bailey.
He's doing this for you. He's
doing this for both of you.
What's he been doing on the docks?
He's been collecting evidence.
He thinks the syndicate is using
a shipping company named Rafina
to move all their shit.
And the Campanos own
this company, Rafina?
We think so. But we have to prove it,
which means documentation,
contracts with signatures.
My grandfather, he
he would've written
those contracts, right?
Grady, is Owen in Austin?
[GRUNTS]
Floor?
Three, please.
I want to talk to my dad.
We can't.
If Owen is in Austin
risking his life for us,
we'd like to have a
conversation about it.
We literally cannot do it.
The phones only go one
way, from Owen to me.
We only use burners. We keep it siloed.
So you're telling me that you have
no way of getting a message to him?
Grady, this is insane.
Look, I understand
that you are worked up,
and I get you've had a pretty bad day
Oh, a pretty bad day.
My grandfather died.
And I am sorry about that.
Our lives have been
turned upside down, again.
Which was gonna happen anyway.
And my dad made decisions
that affect my life,
and Hannah's life, without us
being consulted or even considered!
You weren't considered?
- Grow up, Bailey.
- Hey.
Everything Owen does is out
of consideration for you.
Okay. Okay.
We are going to take this
temperature down many degrees.
Do not speak to her that way.
- Yeah.
- We are all in this together now.
And we are all gonna decide
together how best to move forward.
Bailey, I'm sorry.
I need to use the bathroom.
[SIGHS]
She just lost her grandfather.
Found out her father is fucking with
an international crime syndicate.
She's understandably scared.
You're not helping.
I said I'm sorry.
Charlie wants us to go to Austin.
No. No. Absolutely not.
It's risky enough as it
is with Owen there and
[MOTORCYCLE ENGINE REVVING]
As soon as Owen gets what he
needs, he's gonna come meet us.
Here?
- He's coming here?
- That's what he said, yes.
[PHONE BUZZING]
Is that him?
No, it's-it's my kid's mom.
Look, uh, my opinion is,
we're gonna stay the night,
Owen will come by tomorrow,
and he'll have what we
need to move forward.
Move f Move forward toward what?
Maybe toward being a happy family
without a target on its back.
Sound like a plan?
Lock this.
[SLAMS DOOR]
[LOCK BEEPS, UNLOCKS]
[LOCK BEEPS]
[DEVICE BEEPING]
[SHUTTER CLICKING]
You okay?
- Okay, like
- [HANNAH] With everything.
With Nicholas. With the last 24 hours.
- With your dad coming here.
- Yeah, I'm fine.
I mean [STAMMERS]
I'm upset about Grandpa,
but I'm I'm fine.
- Are you?
- Still processing.
Should we really just be sitting here?
[SIGHS]
I mean, Charlie wanted us
to come to Austin, right?
He did. Maybe we should.
But we have to think it through.
I mean, Grady wasn't wrong.
Without Nicholas down
there to protect us
Yeah.
But I hate sitting here
waiting as much as you do.
What if we had another option?
[INHALES SHARPLY] If
the Campanos are after us
because they think that we're
the best way to get to my dad,
then maybe we should let
them know that we're not.
We haven't had any
contact with him since
Since I saw him 24 hours ago.
Yeah, I don't think that counts.
Okay, maybe.
But even if they'd leave us alone,
which I'm not entirely sure they would,
how would we get them that message?
Quinn. We could go through Quinn.
- [SIGHS]
- She was really sweet to me.
She's Frank's daughter.
But she has nothing to do
with the business. And she
She loved my mother. I-I think
she would want to help me.
Let's sit with it. Let's sleep on it.
Like we're gonna get any sleep.
Bailey.
[SIGHS] You really trust him?
Your father?
- Grady.
- [STAMMERS] Oh, I
I think he has our best
interests at heart. He always did.
He just
feels really off to me.
But he was like that the night I
met with Nicholas for the first time.
And he hasn't given us a
reason not to trust him yet.
Okay.
Where are you going?
I need to
make some calls and-and just,
you know, apologize for
leaving my own read-through.
Yeah, I think no
unnecessary calls for now.
It's a burner.
I know. I just To be safe.
I'm so sick of that word.
I know you're trying to protect me,
but if I don't leave this
room for a little while,
I-I think I might scream so loud
that glass will shatter
in, like, Arizona.
- Okay.
- [SIGHS]
Just leave the phone, please.
[SIGHS]
[SEAGULLS CALLING IN DISTANCE]
[SIGHS]
[MANNY] Anyone turn in my badge?
Let me see something.
- Huh.
- [PHONE BUZZES]
- Yeah?
- This is Benny at 1941 Congress.
You said for me to call if there was
any unusual activity in Suite 801?
- Yeah?
- Somebody just badged in up there.
We'll send someone over.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
[GUEST] What you writing?
What?
Is that a journal? Are you journaling?
Um, no. No, it's not a journal.
Okay.
Didn't mean to bother you.
Keep my big trap shut.
It's a play.
- A play?
- Mmm.
You're really writing a play?
- Uh, yeah. Trying to.
- Oh!
I love plays.
I did a couple in high school.
[INHALES SHARPLY] What's your name?
- Kristin.
- [GASPS] I'm Christine.
[GASPS] So close.
[CHUCKLES]
[CHRISTINE] Want a drink?
It's, uh, Lynchburg lemonade.
- I was saving some for my husband
- Oh. [CHUCKLES]
but he's in the restaurant
boozing with his friends.
So, what's your play about?
It's about mothers and daughters.
Careful now.
What's your mother gonna
say when she sees it?
- [SLURPS]
- Oh, well
Luckily, I-I don't have
to worry about that.
She died when I was four.
Oh, no. [BREATHES
DEEPLY] See what I mean?
- This big trap.
- It's It's okay.
It was a long time ago.
Four years old.
You're breaking my heart.
My little one's around the same age.
You've got a daughter?
[LAUGHS] More like a feral cat, really.
Still, I can't imagine how she'd
get along if I wasn't around anymore.
What about your husband?
Oh, honey. He's a good enough man.
Children? Useless.
[CHUCKLES]
- [CHILD GIGGLING]
- Speak of the dirt devil.
[CHRISTINE LAUGHS]
Oh! She jumped right in. [CHUCKLES]
Yeah, she does that.
[SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES]
[GRUNTS]
[SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
- Is she okay?
- Oh, she's fine.
Are you sure? She's She's not moving.
She's just having her fun, that's all.
Are you just gonna sit there
and do nothing? [BREATHES SHAKILY]
[CHRISTINE] Oh, you little monster.
[CHILD GIGGLING]
- Bell and Associates?
- [BENNY] I'll bring you up.
Watch the desk, will you, Manny?
- Sure.
- This way.
[LOCK BEEPS, UNLOCKS]
[DOOR CLOSES OUTSIDE]
Have a good weekend.
You too.
[GRADY] No! No! No,
no, no! That's bullshit.
I need time to set this up.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
How? How?
Please.
All right, all right, all right.
Fuck it. We'll make it work.
Okay, calm down. We're
not gonna get caught.
We're gonna get the goods and get out.
No, hey. Don't worry.
Like I said, there'll be
no cops anywhere near there.
I fucking made sure of it.
All right, tomorrow, then.
Yeah, I'll be there.
Don't hang me out to dry on this.
Fuck!

Well, I got no time to tarry here ♪
- Don't you stop me ♪
- [BOTTLE THUDS]
[SERVER] You all right
over here, sweetheart?
Yeah, yeah. Uh, one's my
limit. Thank you though.
Okay. Well, more what I
meant was, are you all right?
[SONG CONTINUES PLAYING]
I've been better. But thank you.
Oh, sure. But I bet
you've been worse too.
[CHUCKLING]
That's, um That's debatable.
You ever feel like you got
one last shot at something?
[CHUCKLES] Love or work?
Maybe both. [SIGHS]
I feel like I gambled my whole
life on this one thing working out.
And if it doesn't
[SNIFFS] That's it.
In my experience, sometimes
you get a second chance
after that one last shot.
Yeah.
It's like Gandalf says,
"This too shall pass."
Gandalf said that?
Didn't he?
[SIGHS] It's either him or the Bible.
Yeah.
[OPERATOR] US Marshals
Service, Western District.
Hi, I know it's late. I was wondering
if you might be able to connect me
with someone in the office?
Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am, we're
just the night switchboard here.
Best I can do is leave
a message you called.
- Would you like me to do that for you?
- No, that's all right.
I'll try again in the morning.
Do you know what time Agent
Anderson might be in tomorrow?
8:00 a.m. would be my best guess.
They get started pretty early.
- Anything else I can do you for?
- Nope. Thank you so much. Bye.
Hannah, who the fuck are
you talking to right now?
- I called the Marshals office.
- Why? Why? You should not have done that.
- I had a question.
- Then you need to ask me.
Why are you so worked up about this?
Because I have reason to believe
that the Campanos have a mole there.
In the Marshals Service?
Yes, Hannah. You don't know
what the fuck you're doing.
If there's a mole in the Marshals
If someone is in your organization
- watching you
- I need you to trust me, okay?
- I have it under control.
- I heard you on the phone.
Didn't seem like you had
anything under control.
- Oh, my God. I was talking to my ex.
- Bullshit.
If you're really working
with Owen, prove it.
- Call him. Call him!
- I told you I can't.
- You know that I can't.
- I don't believe it.
- There must be some way to contact him.
- Hannah, I am here as a favor to you.
If you wanna take your chances
on your own, be my fucking guest.
What's going on?
Is he bothering you?
- No, he's not. Sorry.
- We are fine. I'm fine, okay?
I'm a US Marshal, sir. Please, step off.
Great. How about you show us your star?
- How about you go fuck yourself?
- Grady.
- Will you stay out of this?
- God.
Don't talk to her like that.
- [GASPS]
- Like what? Like [GRUNTS]
Stop. Stop! Stop, that's enough!
That's enough. That's
enough! It's enough.
Bobby, what are you doing?
Nothing, babe.
- Just talking to the man is all.
- Doesn't look like just talking.
- Is everything okay?
- Everything's okay.
- Right, Grady?
- [SIGHS] Yep, yep. Everything's fine.
We're gonna call it a night. Sorry,
we just got a little overheated.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[HANNAH] Okay, we're just
gonna go back to the room.
- What happened back there?
- I'll tell you inside.
[SIGHS] Shit.
Yeah. Those two women
that they're looking for?
I got eyes on 'em.
[HANNAH] Bailey.
Bailey, wake up. It's time.
Are you sure we should do this?
I think you're right about Grady.
And I think we're better off on our own.
Quietly.
Is that Grady's car?
Let's go.
What did you just do?
A banana in the tailpipe. It
stops the car from running.
How do you know that?
I grew up in the '80s.
[TIRES SCREECH]
What the fuck?
[VEHICLE APPROACHING]
[PERSON] They're not here.
They must've gotten spooked somehow.
[DRIVER] Call the guys in LA.
Tell them to keep an eye out
in case they head back there.
- [PANTING]
- [PHONE BUZZING]
- Owen?
- I got what we need.
- Should take me about
- Owen, Owen. They're gone.
What do you mean they're gone?
[PANTING] They're
I'm sorry. They didn't say they
were going or anything. They just
[SIGHS]
They just slipped away.
How do you feel about
sleeping here tonight?
Here, like, uh, in the car?
Yeah, I think it's safer than
It's smarter than checking in somewhere.
Have you Have you never
slept in a car before?
Uh
It's not as bad as you think.
I'm gonna change the plates, then
we should try to get some sleep.
[SIGHS]
You pack an extra pair of license plates
but somehow forget a blanket.
It's just one night.
Squeeze in.
How do you know it'll just be one night?
They're gonna keep coming
for us, aren't they?
[SIGHS] Try to get some sleep.
[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
Stop looking at that thing.
You still think it's a clue?
Probably just sentimental.
Sentimental is something
you wear on your sleeve,
not slip into someone's pocket.
Meaning?
Meaning everything he does is sneaky.
Or coded.
Those notes he left for us?
"Protect her." [CHUCKLES]
Could you be more cryptic?
Why does everything have to
be such a secret? Or a lie?
- Bailey
- Well, he never told me my real name.
He kept my family from
me. I could've had 20 years
to get to know my grandfather.
He gave me a picture of a stranger
and made me believe that was my mother.
- Who does that?
- I don't know.
Maybe someday he'll be able to
explain to you why he did what he did.
I don't know.
You're allowed to be
angry too, you know?
I'm angry. I'm plenty angry.
When I'm feeling generous,
I try to remember he was
in an impossible situation.
[SCOFFS]
Is that how you think about your mother?
No.
My mom chose not to be in my life.
Your dad didn't have a choice.
- Didn't he?
- No. What?
I'm just saying I'm done
abiding by his decisions.
What option do we have?
We could go to Quinn.
[STAMMERS]
That's asking for trouble.
I got a really good vibe from her.
- And Charlie vouched for her too.
- She's a Campano.
My grandad was a mob lawyer.
Yeah, I have no confidence
that we can trust her.
Oh, I think we can.
It's It's whatever.
It's what you want to do.
Bailey, no. It's not whatever I want.
It is our decision.
Frank was reasonable when
you first went to Nicholas,
maybe he'll be reasonable now.
- Bailey.
- I vote we go to LA and talk to Quinn.
They're looking for us in
LA. Going back, it's risky.
Of course, it's risky. But I
have a life in LA and so do you.
What are we gonna do? Are we
just gonna keep running forever?
- Is that what you want?
- No, it's not what I want.
But I also don't want
to just start taking
wild chances without being prepared.
So, you're saying no?
No. But we can't go to her
house, we can't go to her office.
- So, we'll find somewhere else.
- Maybe.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Well, look who it is.
Hey, Dad.
I just saw the news about
Nicholas. I'm so sorry.
Thanks, sweetheart.
I was just with him for his 75th.
I mean, he looked great.
Same old gigantic son of a bitch.
Makes you think.
About what?
Well, about when that
bell's gonna toll for me.
Dad, come on.
No, I'm not being morbid.
I'm 80 next week, in case you forgot.
Didn't forget.
I never forget.
Be good to see you on the day.
I wish I could. I'll be in
Paris. I'm closing a deal.
Paris? Well, we'll do it there.
I hear they got birthday
candles in France too.
Okay, Dad. Birthday in Paris.
I am gonna need to change my
order. I am getting too predictable.
You are all set.
The girl who was here with you
the other day, she paid for it.
- [QUINN] Thanks, Abigail.
- Yeah.
Usually, when someone wants
to get in touch with me,
- they go through my assistant.
- Uh, yeah.
I'm sorry for the skulkery.
If that's a word.
- This is Hannah, my [STAMMERS]
- Stepmother.
What is this? What's going on?
I'm not sure how much
you know about the history
between my dad and your family.
- I mean, after my mom died
- [QUINN] I'm gonna stop you right there.
I don't have anything to do
with my family's business.
That's what Charlie told us, which
is actually the reason we're here.
This conversation, it needs to end now.
[GASPS] Bailey.
[BAILEY] Wait.
Quinn.
Quinn, please. If you
would just hear me out,
I would really, really appreciate it.
Look, I know that we just met,
and here I am just showing up
for the second time
in almost as many days,
but we don't know where else to go.
And I know how complicated
things are with your family,
but they're pretty fucking
complicated with mine too.
And you knew my mother.
So, I thought you might wanna help.
It is very complicated.
And I know that your
grandfather just died.
And I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you. That's really nice.
It'd be nicer if we weren't
running from your father's men.
Excuse me?
Yesterday, a man broke into my
house and grabbed me by the throat.
Tried to put me in his van
and then he went after Bailey.
Oh, God.
I'm sorry, but
I still don't understand. What
exactly do you think I can do?
Could you get a message to your father?
I don't talk to him that often
and never about his business.
I'm sure. I'm sure you don't want
to be mixed up in any of this,
but we're in harm's way here.
If you have children,
I'm sure you'll understand
why I listened to mine
to come to talk to you.
What's the message?
That Hannah and I have
nothing to do with my dad.
And we haven't been in touch with him.
And we have no plans to. We just
We want things to go
back the way they were.
Is that right?
Yes, it is. That's it.
Well, I can't promise anything,
but I'll see what I can do.
Okay, thank you. Let's go.
A word of advice, if you're open to it.
If you do find yourself
face-to-face with my father,
you better convince him
you're prepared to let Ethan
or whatever he goes by now
- Owen.
- Owen.
That you're prepared to let Owen
go. And you'd better mean it.
We mean it.
Good.
Because my advocacy aside,
chances are my family's
not gonna let this drop
until it's
resolved.
So, if there's a place you can go,
someplace you think that
no one would find you,
you should go there.
And tell no one.
Let's go.
What she said,
about going someplace
no one could find us?
Sounds like a good idea to me.
- So, we're running again?
- No, it's not running.
It's just going back to the
original plan before we met Grady.
We need to buy some time.
Okay.
So, any thoughts on where this place
where no one would find us might be?
- Just one.
- [ENGINE STARTS]
So, I heard you and Dad talked.
Birthday dinner in Paris, huh?
Guy Savoy, Jules Verne, or
- What the fuck are you doing, Teddy?
- [LAUGHS] What are you
Ethan Young's daughter just
reached out asking for help.
Kristin? Did you see her?
Was she in LA?
- Did I say that?
- Don't fuck with me, Quinnie.
- We need to get
- "We"? Who is "we"?
Because there is no
way Dad is behind this.
Oh, he knows full well
what I'm doing here.
Look, I don't have time for this
shit. Just tell me where she is
You want to know where she is?
She called from Canada.
Maybe it was Colombia.
No, wait, Croatia.
Quinn!
Teddy, leave her alone. Do you hear me?
Quinnie, Quinnie, wait.
- Wait, wait
- [LINE CLICKS]
[SIGHS]
When was the last time you saw her?
I don't know. Probably at
my grandfather's funeral.
Three, four years ago.
And it was
I don't really wanna talk about it.
You're not gonna tell me
anything about your mother?
I mean, what is there to tell, really?
She left me with my grandfather
when I was five years old
so she could chase my
father around the world,
photographing models,
partying like rock stars,
while I watched the mail
and the driveway, and
waited by the fucking phone,
wondering whether she
would ever come home.
Then my father died and she decided,
"Yeah, I'd like to
be part of your life."
["STATE TROOPER"
PLAYING QUIETLY ON RADIO]
So, you guys are tight?
[SIGHS]
I mean, we don't have to go, do we?
We're not that desperate.
I don't know. I
- Maybe we are.
- I wouldn't use the word desperate.
Out of options?
- Screwed? Up shit's creek?
- One of those.
