Previously on "Big Sky"
This is for Mason.
Just kill my son.
He's the one responsible
for your son's death.
Jag is in the hospital
with a bullet in his chest.
- What happened out there?
- He didn't tell you?
Insurance release for Jag.
They need a family member to sign.
- Where's my father?
- Can't help you.
It's fine. I'll have
Travis look into it.
I know he used to be a cop,
but now he works for me.
County's bringing someone
in to be acting sheriff
- while I'm down.
- I don't need any help.
Yeah, you do.
I have information that you want.
I want to make a trade.
Wolf told us about his
deal with the Syndicate.
If you run, they will find you.
-
- We know you made a copy
of something that wasn't yours.
You need to tell me where it is.
Scarlet.
Phoebe deserves more out of this life.
Give Phoebe up.
- It's your only good option.
- Ohh.
Oh, my goodness.
What are we doing here?
Just need to grab something real quick.
- In and out.
- Nancy is waiting.
- I'll let you
- I'm hungry.
I know, sweetheart. I am, too.
That's what I said!
Um, what are you in the mood
for, huh? Uh, pizza, barbecue?
Um, cheeseburgers.
Cheeseburgers! Now we're talking.
Are we going home now?
Yes, yes. Soon, sweetheart.
We are gonna go up to Canada.
But first I need to take care
of a little something, okay?
Okay.
You know
maybe it's better if I go in alone.
Well, if it were me, I would
want to see a friendly face.
Shall we?
Look who I found.
Hello, son.
How ya feeling?
Okay, all things considered.
You almost got me killed.
I almost got you killed?
That That's not what happened.
So what did happen?
Jag, do you want to say it,
just so we can both hear it?
Yeah, well, dear old dad here
decided to offer up my life for his.
No.
That's not what I was doing.
I was going to get help.
Yeah, for yourself, maybe.
You left me there and I got shot.
No, you got it wrong, son.
So tomato, tomah-toh then.
That's enough, Reenu.
All that talk about family
was just a lie.
You tried to save yourself
by abandoning your son.
That's what happened.
I won't be mocked.
You two need to know
who's in charge here.
I know who's in charge.
I have nothing more to say here.
Hey.
- You need to be careful.
- I got this. You rest up.
Cassie, good to have you back.
I'll see ya in there.
Hey, you, in the boots!
You know anything about cars?
Power steering pump, particularly.
This thing is just
Oh.
Sorry, I thought you were a guy.
The The boots.
Oh, so I can't help you with the car.
Well, come on, girls don't
know anything about cars.
Excuse me.
- Move to the side, please.
- Okay.
That's your pump right there.
Son of a bitch.
- You're good.
- Yeah.
Okay, but the the
leak's coming from
The leak is coming from underneath
there, and so I just
Truth is, I'm worried about
it getting in the waterways.
It's bad for the trout,
conservation, all that.
So, you fish?
Fish?
- Yeah.
- Fish
that's with a fishing pole?
Okay, you're funny. I'm being an ass.
Sorry. Beau Arlen.
Cassie Dewell.
I know who you are.
You do?
Well, it's a small town.
And law enforcement's
one big, not so happy,
dysfunctional family, right?
Yeah. You in law enforcement?
- Mm, well, I was in Houston.
- Mm.
But then I'm sorta retired
well, on the bench.
Fishing.
But now I'm un-retired, so
Stepping in for Sheriff Tubb?
You are good.
- Small town, right?
- Okay.
Yeah. Well, good luck with that.
Jenny Hoyt, she's my old partner.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I heard
about Jenny Hoyt.
I can handle her.
You keep thinking that.
Um have a good day.
Oh, yeah the weekly hankie meeting.
I hear it helps.
You going to that, too,
or are you just here
to get some dirt on Jenny Hoyt?
No, no, I keep trying to go in there,
but something always seems to stop me.
Today it was Pedro.
Sprung a leak on me.
You really don't know anything
about cars, do you?
I don't. Could you give
me a hand, please?
Okay, I'll help you out.
- Okay. All right.
- Yeah.
All right, Pedro. Her hands are
gonna be softer than mine.
Maybe.
Oh, hey. You're back.
Yeah, and working on no sleep.
Where's Cassie?
Jenny's. She should be back soon.
So what's going on? Where's Jerrie?
She's still in Idaho working
with local law enforcement.
We confirmed multiple
sightings of Scarlet,
and the hope is she's still there.
Did you hear that she called Cassie?
Yeah. Why do you think I rushed back?
Aww, you're worried about her.
- How sweet.
- More like smart.
Scarlet's a sociopath.
Still sweet.
So you really think that Scarlet
would go after Cassie?
I don't know.
But if she does come back here,
she might have company.
When Jerrie and I were
confirming those sightings,
we learned someone else had
come looking for Scarlet.
Oh, you think it was someone
from the Syndicate.
- I think it's a possibility.
- Just like you think the Syndicate
may have taken out Wolf.
Crazy?
Not at all.
I was looking for some things
when you were gone.
Julian McGill. Who is he?
EMT that worked on Wolf when he died.
According to the hospital paperwork.
Did you call him to confirm that?
See, that's where this gets interesting.
Mr. Julian there isn't
answering his phone,
and apparently he hasn't been
showing up to work lately.
- Now, that is interesting.
- Mm-hmm,
maybe you and Cassie
should run by his place
and check things out.
Kiss her first, though.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I was on my way to the office.
I figured I'd stop by,
see how you were doing.
Uh, not good.
Travis?
Ghosted me.
- Hey, you talk to Tubb?
- Not today. Why?
I ran into his replacement earlier.
What?
Yeah, Beau something.
Tubb did say he was gonna
bring someone to help,
but that was fast.
Yeah, good luck.
He seems, um
Temporary?
No, I wouldn't say that.
He's just very Texas
or Houston one of those kinds.
Hmm.
So, wait, where did you meet him?
I was on my way to this
grief counseling meeting
I started going to.
He said he was there for that, but
Hmm.
Maybe he can help me with Travis.
You still think he's planning
on killing Veer?
- I didn't say that.
- Jenny, come on.
We both know that's what he wants.
Maybe, but
Ren know's he's a cop,
and I've been to his handler at State
and he's dead weight as
far as they're concerned.
I have to do something.
Arrest Veer.
Take away his target.
Thank you.
That's why I love you.
Yep.
What was that?
I wanted to see if maybe, just maybe,
you'd be a father for once.
Get in the car and stop this nonsense.
I love you, Daddy.
All right.
Listen, I'm here because Sheriff
Tubb asked me to step in.
Now, I am new here, okay?
Six months in Montana,
Texas before that.
And what I don't know about how
things work here in Big Sky Country,
well, I'll just fake it until I make it.
Now, you are all free
to check my bonafides.
I will admit there are
some things in there
that I'm not exactly proud
of, but I am here to help.
Okay? Get things moving
in the right direction.
And as John Prine says,
"Catch a few fish."
Sir.
- Call me Beau, yeah.
- Right, Beau.
- Deputy
- Poppernak,
three P's, sir.
Um, yeah, my brother,
he's got, uh, two miles
of pristine trout stream going
right through his property
and it would be an honor
to take you and hook you up.
Not a joke.
Are you sucking up?
Sounds to me like you're sucking up.
Let me tell you something
I like it.
100% approve, okay?
'Course I trust you know
there's a line there, too.
Well, you must be Miss Hoyt.
And you must be the
new temporary sheriff.
Yeah, I was just giving a little
bit of an orientation type thing.
I guess you didn't get the memo
I'd be addressing the troops.
Nope.
So what did I miss?
Well, uh, Deputy Poppa
Poppa Smurf Pop
- Poppernak.
- Yeah, Poppernak over here
was just telling me about
a sweet fishing honey hole.
He was sucking up.
It worked. I like him.
Sorry. Team Hoyt.
Team Hoyt.
Anyway, would you like
me to start from the top?
I would like a word.
In private.
How you wanna do this, darlin'?
Darling?
Gotta be kidding me.
Come on. I didn't mean nothing by it.
I mean, is is it all nicknames
that you take offense
to, or just "darling"?
'Cause I gotta be honest,
where I come from Texas
everybody has a nickname.
Mine's BT, actually.
You can call me Hoyt.
Okay, Hoyt.
Listen, I'm just trying to put
everybody at ease, okay?
Get to know my team.
Tubb called, I answered. Here I am.
He also said you might
be a little red-assed
that you're not put in charge, which
And I gotta say I double
copy you on that.
Wow, you're a real
chatty one, aren't you?
Not what I expected.
Shoot, you should meet my brother.
He likes to "chop it up,"
as the kids say.
Wow, you're doing it again.
Apologize. Okay, you go right ahead.
I need your help.
With the Bhullars.
Tubb filled me in on them too.
So you know about Travis.
A little bit.
Let me tell you something.
I have tangled more than a few times
with cartel elements in Texas.
It is nasty business.
So if this boyfriend of yours
I think Travis is gonna
kill Veer Bhullar.
And I need to stop it.
You mean "we."
We. You, me, Deputy, uh, Popcorn.
The team.
So you're not gonna stop me?
Hell no.
You called a play.
I'm backing that play.
Let's go find him.
- Coming?
- Okay.
So this is about my daughter.
What did she put in your head?
Nothing. This is about Kate Garza.
I see.
- You knew her?
- Shut up.
Name your price, Mr. Stone. Just
My name's not Stone.
And I don't want your money.
What I want is to go have
a little talk somewhere.
What are you thinking?
Well, that, if something
happened to him,
he's probably not gonna answer the door.
We could pick the lock.
We could.
Yeah, or you could.
I I can't pick locks.
Bad at picking locks?
Mm, terrible at it.
That might change some things for me.
Or we could go around back,
see if there's any sign of forced entry.
You never know. He might have
found the love of his life
and went off and got married in Vegas.
Is that what you would do?
No.
But it happens.
Okay.
- Cassie.
- Yeah, I see it.
Mark. Mark.
This the work of the Syndicate?
Yeah, it has to be.
I want the bunny with the brown spots.
Yeah, well, you can't
have that and a dog.
Come on, come on.
That's the man that made
me drop my milkshake.
It sure is. Come on.
Come on, Phoebe. Nice and quiet.
Hey!
Go! Go, go, go, go!
Okay.
Mom.
Okay.
In here. Here.
Stay here.
Ahhhh!
Ahhhh!
You shouldn't have followed us!
You'll never be safe.
There are so many more of me.
Phoebe, it's okay.
The bad man can't hurt us now.
I'm scared!
I don't want to do this anymore.
You gonna tell me what's going on?
Stone or Travis, whatever
you wanna call him
he has my father.
Okay.
- They on a hike?
- I don't know what they're doing, but
it solves a problem for us.
He's a cop.
We have established this.
This doesn't sound like a good plan.
Well, you don't know the whole plan.
Travis is gonna kill my father.
'Cause he did something to one of
Travis's girlfriends, blah, blah.
Just don't try to talk me out of it.
I won't. You know my
thoughts on your father.
Yeah, well, he's still my father.
What then?
- Stone just gets to walk?
- No.
That's where you come in.
I've been waiting for this.
You just give me the word.
It's the cops.
Let me think for a second.
Okay, let them in.
Okay, and then I kill them?
Mm!
No, just let them in.
Hey, nice apron.
Wow. What is this?
A "Barefoot Contessa" cartel?
Oh. Quite the glow-up on
the partner, Jenny Hoyt.
Veer. Where is he?
Why?
We're here to arrest him.
We just keep doing this and
you never have any evidence.
I am very flattered, but maybe
we can skip it this time.
I got a shipping manifest
and a testimony
of a C.I. detailing
your drug trafficking.
Okay. Go ahead.
You need to leave.
- Oh!
- Easy, easy.
Just breathe into it.
He's fine.
He's so rugged and direct.
One more time. Where's Veer?
Stone
A.K.A. Travis he has him.
Do you know what for?
I think you know.
Look, either you tell us or
Or what? You're gonna
bring me to the station?
No, no. No, no, no, no.
We'll skip that part.
Just take you straight to jail.
Then I'll just ripen up the tank
with some drunks and meth heads
and let you make some real friends.
Then we'll stack the charges.
Okay. You want him? Go for it.
Wait, you're you're just
gonna give up your father?
Why not? He'd do the same to me.
This is their location.
Kill me and toss me down
there like an animal.
This country.
You're gonna tell me what
you did with Kate Garza.
Phoebe?
Phoebe where's your mom?
I need you to tell me where she is.
This is Cassie.
You were right.
Phoebe deserves more out of this life.
Scarlet, how did you get in here?
Doesn't matter.
We're capable of anything when
it comes to our kids, aren't we?
I need you to understand that
I would have done anything
for my daughter.
That part was always true.
I understand that.
I have family
an aunt in Petoskey, Michigan.
Her number is in Phoebe's iPad.
I'm asking you,
mother to mother
please make sure that Phoebe
ends up in the right hands.
Better hands than mine, anyway.
Scarlet, you can still
do this the right way.
No, I can't.
Scarlet, wh
No, I've done something for you, so
please, this is all I ask.
What have you done for me?
Look inside Phoebe's backpack.
Scarlet.
Scarlet.
Okay, so I guess this is it?
Sure is.
I brought my tools.
I'm gonna cut to the chase.
I'm taking over the entire operation,
and you are going to tell
me everything you know
as financial advisor.
All right, before we get to
the choppy and stabby part,
can I just make one last pitch?
- Go for it.
- Well, it's not a pitch exactly.
Just something I think
you might want to read.
I think you'll see that I am much
more than just a financial advisor.
Veer gave me power of attorney
where the business is concerned.
How the hell did you do this?
Just so you know, they're real.
'Cause I told him they were
insurance papers for Jag.
And did he read them? No, of course not.
He's very impatient.
And FYI
I filed them already in triplicate.
And I have a few contingencies
accounting contingencies
you know, just in case
I were to end up dead.
What do you want?
Buy me out or we partner up.
Yeah, I don't think working
together is a great idea.
Okay.
Option "A."
See? I told you us girls
could work this out.
- We're gonna be too late.
- No, we're not.
I should have done something sooner.
Hey, hey, come on, now.
Is this the part where
you beat yourself up?
'Cause let's skip that. All right?
Some people you just can't
save from themselves.
Trust me, I know that.
And you're gonna want clean thoughts
going into whatever this is.
He's making stupid choices
because he can't let her go.
Oh!
Boy, do I know something about that.
My, uh My ex-wife.
She She married some rich
tech dude who owns a ranch
just south of town.
I followed her up here.
Her and my daughter.
What's this guy's name? The tech dude?
Avery.
And let me guess, you're
still in love with her?
You're good.
But, hey, if your plan is to get
me to puddle up over her,
that ain't gonna happen, all right?
Let's focus on the job here and
make sure it don't go sideways.
We're getting close.
This is it.
That's his truck.
She deserved better, you know.
I-I don't understand.
- Kate Garza?
- Don't Don't you say her name.
Don't you say it.
Oh, you.
You're the cop.
The cop that turned
Kate back in Seattle.
What did you think was gonna happen?
You took my girl's life in your hands.
You put her in danger.
- I did nothing but kill
- No, no, no, no!
She knew exactly what you were.
She was a waitress when I met her.
Living a sad, pointless life.
I opened the world up for her.
Anything that happened to Kate
happened because of you.
And you you are a coward
if you try and say anything otherwise.
Okay, okay.
Just Just tell me something.
What'd you do with her body?
So many things.
It seems you got it wrong.
She was never yours.
You understand? She was mine.
Mine!
She's still alive. She's still alive.
Wait, what'd you say?
What'd What did you just say?
Kate's alive.
Where is she?
Where Where is she?
Never.
Where is she?!
Where?!
Come on! Just say it!
Where is she?! You tell me!
Where?!
Travis!
- Travis, stop!
- Where?!
Where?!
I won't miss again.
Step away from him now.
On your knees.
He's got a pulse, but it's weak.
He hurt her, Jenny.
He hurt her.
It's over. She's dead.
- This is over now, okay?
- No. Sh-She's alive.
No. He He told me.
- She's alive.
- Come on.
Help on the way?
On its way.
Doctor said you got there just in time.
Another blow or two, Veer
Bhullar would've been dead.
He's very lucky.
Well, that's one way to look at it.
So what's gonna happen with Travis?
Is he getting charged
with attempted murder?
State wants him back.
Apparently, there's a
whole list of offenses.
Poor son of a bitch.
I'm gonna take him to his handler.
The meeting's already set up.
Okay. You want some company?
No, if that's okay.
Yeah, that's good by me.
Listen, maybe take him
for a cheeseburger
and a beer on your way.
You know? One last good thing.
I will.
Were you gonna shoot me today, Jenny?
I don't know.
Maybe.
What did Veer tell you about Kate?
He tortured her.
He
He broke her.
So why didn't you kill him?
I was gonna, but
he said she's still alive.
How do you know he wasn't lying?
I don't.
What are you doing?
Go find her.
You want me to find Kate?
What's the catch?
After you find her, you
will turn yourself in.
Go on.
Thank you, Jenny.
Just go before I change my mind.
What's on it?
According to Scarlet,
information on the Syndicate.
- You take a peek?
- Not yet.
Computer's at the office.
And I need to watch her.
She have any family?
Yeah, an aunt in Michigan.
Social Services will
have to get involved,
but her aunt said that
she'll look after her.
She jumped on a plane right away.
She'll be here soon.
Considering everything
she's been through,
she's actually doing pretty okay.
Would you like my cookie?
My mom always told me to share.
No, thanks, sweetie.
Would you?
Maybe just a tiny bite?
- Okay.
- Okay.
Oh.
Mmm.
You're funny.
Don't tell him that he's funny.
He's not nearly as funny
as he thinks he is.
Mm.
So we'll check in on her all the time.
I made a promise to Scarlet.
Is that weird?
Not at all.
My son.
Come on.
So, you're off?
I am.
Where are you going?
London for now.
I've always loved the rain
and English gardens in the spring time.
Sounds nice.
Never been there.
You want to come with me?
I'm good right here, where
I was born and raised.
Careful you don't die here.
Yeah.
I'll watch out for that.
You know, you remind me of me.
Thanks.
I guess.
I'd tell you to watch
your back with Ren,
but you already know that.
It's been nice getting to know you.
Oh! I forgot. Tell Ren
I didn't say goodbye.
Okay.
Seriously?
You can walk.
Milk it. Go ahead.
Don't say it.
No, I, uh
I want to.
I love you.
Barf.
Let's go.
Okay, let's see what we got here.
Uh, account numbers
and it looks like maps
- or routes of some kind.
- Any names?
Not that I can see.
Yeah, guys, this is all encrypted.
Feds have experts that can
pretty much unlock anything.
I should send this to
Marshal headquarters
so they can process it.
Smart. See? Told you he was a keeper.
Mm.
Ooh, girl. Long day?
Oh, and then some. What's going on?
Well, Scarlet gave Cassie a hard drive
with some information
on the Syndicate on it.
Wow.
Okay. Um, anything we could use?
How 'bout I fill you in over a beer?
I'm sure we have a lot to catch up on.
Yeah.
Uh, I'll just stay here with Denise
and, uh, let you two
have some girl time.
Girl time?
Uh, just go be with your
friend? I don't know.
Aww.
Denise, you're right. He's a keeper.
Girl time.
I rolled into town ♪
And I laid my money down ♪
On a game that was made to lose ♪
Everything I had ♪
I could carry on my back ♪
I don't want nothing I can't use ♪
I mean
If you told me this morning we'd
be knocking back beers tonight,
I'd be genuinely surprised.
You know, I thought that I
was gonna be tailing Scarlet
through Idaho.
- And I'm just glad it's over.
- Mm.
Sure you're okay?
All that matters is that we're here.
Yes, our favorite place
with the pool table.
- Yes.
- We have the juke-box.
Oh, don't forget the
tacky light fixtures.
Could never forget those.
- Dewell and Hoyt.
- Dewell and Hoyt.
Mm.
Of all the bars in town,
I had to pick this one
and crash your little party.
If you don't mind.
Mm.
First, back it up and come correct.
- Th
- Yep, back it up.
- Start over. Back it up.
- All right.
Okay.
Tequila?
Ooh!
- Hey! There you go!
- Hey!
Okay. All right. Three tequilas.
My friend.
Tres blancos, por favor.
All right.
So how'd it go?
You know, it went.
Sort of like Travis.
Yeah, um, about that.
Hell, I figured you'd do
something like that.
So are you gonna do anything about it?
I don't know what you're talking about.
And if they come asking
questions, I got your back.
It'll give those State desk
jockeys something to do.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
- Oh! Here we go, here we go.
- Ahh.
Thank you.
Welcome to Montana.
I'll drink to that.
