[BUGS CHIRRING]
["BRING IT ON HOME TO
ME" BY SAM COOKE PLAYING]
If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Baby, bring it to me
God, I love his voice.
Bring it on home to me
- Yeah
- Yeah
- Yeah, yeah
- Yeah, yeah
We're all set for the FBI tomorrow.
[SARCASTICALLY] Oh, joy.
What's their temperature?
Does it get above chilly?
Well, they'll be there, anyway.
Mm-hmm. That is true.
Forty-eight more hours.
I'm calling the moving
company this afternoon.
Whenever. Jonah and I are packed.
Too soon?
- [MARTY] Yeah. Much.
- Okay.
Well, um, we found an old stack
of hundreds from the Blue Cat wall.
[MARTY] Really?
We just decided to leave it
for someone to find one day.
We put it in the Bible.
[CHUCKLING] Well, that will
go unfound for a long time.
How's the top of the Belle looking?
Incredible, and we've doubled our
table space to handle all the RSVPs.
Don't worry, you don't have
to go if you don't want to.
[TRUCK HORN BLARING]
- [SHOUTING] Dad!
- Marty!
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[AIRBAGS HISSING]
[SONG PICKS BACK UP]
But I forgive you
Bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
- Yeah
- Yeah
- Yeah
- Yeah
[MUSIC DRIFTS AWAY]
[PARTY MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
["TIERRA MEXICANA" BY
C-KAN BLASTING ON STEREO]
[CHILDREN SCREAMING JOYFULLY]
Can you fix that?
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[MENACING MUSIC PLAYING]
["BRILLO" BY NIÑA DIOZ PLAYING]
You two are celebrities.
How so?
The US Army raided the Lagunas compound.
You two brought the full force
of the American government
down on their enemy.
So, salud.
Mmm.
My uncle tells me you're from Chicago.
Oh, please tell me nothing has changed.
Well, it's been a little
while since we lived there.
Wendy, Marty, this is Javier.
Javi. He's my sister's little boy.
He went to business school in Chicago.
LU.
[MARTY] Good school.
Eh, it's fine.
What it is, however, is downtown.
[OMAR] Mmm.
I miss it. I'm going back
to Chicago soon, on business.
Ah, well, if by business you mean
bottle service and loose women, well
Ah. I'll give you a full report. Heh.
So, uh
Darlene Snell.
What do you plan to do?
What do you mean?
- I am getting the name right, aren't I?
- Yeah.
The poppy farmer
who killed Del and poisoned our product
when she was supposed to be our partner.
You got the name right, I just
I don't understand what you mean.
[JAVI] Before she passed,
Helen told us that this woman was
planning to replant her poppies.
Near our casino.
Small annoyances weigh on my nephew.
I had a good teacher.
He said that to lose face
was to lose everything.
Which is why Marty has been
tasked with making her stop, no?
Yes. We're on it.
Gonna shut that down.
Good. Now, if you'll excuse us,
we have some things we
need to discuss. Huh?
Salud.
Please.
My nephew is impatient.
His entire generation is.
So, this, um, craziness with Darlene,
uh, we can just ignore her, she's
No. That you must do.
Your greatest threat will always come
from the inside, Marty.
Never forget that.
I thought business school would
make my nephew more prudent,
but he's pushing against me,
searching for cracks.
And if he senses any weakness, well,
he'll try and make a move.
What kind of move?
He'll kill me.
And you.
Well, anyone who he
sees as important to me,
which is why he can never know
what we're about to speak of.
What God knows, he knows, Wendy.
You will use your influence
to allow me to walk away.
Well, uh, what does that mean, exactly?
I will walk away from my business.
I will be free of the threat
of arrest or assassination.
And I will be able to move freely
to the United States, back and forth,
where you have established
my children's business empire.
I'm sorry, that's impossible.
- Please don't use that word, Wendy.
- What other word could I use?
Uh, I think
I think what Wendy means is that the
the FBI, uh, they don't make any
agreements that aren't
advantageous to them.
I am aware that I will have
to make some concessions.
- [WENDY] Concessions?
- Yes.
Concessions.
[SUSPENSEFUL DRUMBEAT THROBBING]
Isn't this exactly what
you were doing, Wendy?
With your foundation?
The brand?
What? You can transform yourself
into a pillar of society,
but you won't do the same for me?
[MARTY] You know, to
be fair, we're not
We're not globally-recognized
cartel leaders on every most
wanted list in the world.
Well. Do this and you are
free of your obligation to me.
I'm sorry, it's
It's just
not doable.
Okay, then why are you still alive?
This is what I want.
This is why I chose you.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Now please, go and enjoy the party.
I spent over $10,000 on crab alone.
[WOMAN] Can I help you?
Oh no, I'm just
just waiting on someone.
You're that maid that used to work here.
Till you fucking fired me,
held back my last check.
Well, you ripped off half my guests.
I should have stole your makeup bag,
saved us both an uncomfortable
fucking situation.
[WOMAN SCOFFS]
I'm calling the sheriff.
Mr. Benton.
- You must be Miss Langmore.
- Yes. Hi.
Stan Benton. Lorna, we're gonna
borrow your office if that's okay.
[LORNA] Of course, yeah.
[RUTH CHUCKLES]
[STAN] Just trying to
get my head around it.
[RUTH] No I I understand.
[STAN] So you're offering to buy
this place outright for $450,000?
Mm-hmm. Uh
you can see here, I'm
approved for a business loan
from the First Bank of Osage.
It's a good offer.
Uh, well, it's a really good offer.
[RUTH] So?
[STAN EXHALES]
[SIGHING] Oh
Oh Lord.
It's just all rushing back. [CHUCKLES]
Mm. I'm sure. [FORCED CHUCKLE]
I mean, I watched my kids grow
up running around this place.
Right.
Heck, I even watched
Lorna's kids grow up here.
[RUTH] Hmm.
And I'm sure they're all
fine specimens of human
Um, but you're staring down a recession
and I'm offering you
ten percent above market.
Yeah, I know. It's just um
Well, how about this.
What say I waive any
inspections and we get this done?
Why?
[RUTH] Why?
Well, why do you want the Lazy-O?
[SCOFFS] Because I'm I'm sentimental?
'Cause, uh, I got ADD
and need something new?
Does it matter? [CHUCKLES]
A little bit. Yeah.
[TENSE MUSIC BUILDS SLOWLY]
I want to own a piece of this town.
When city people come on vacation,
I want to be the face they see.
My place, representing.
Pleasure doing business with you.
Oh, and uh, Lorna darling,
you're fucking fired.
[WYATT] The Lazy-fucking-O!
[LAUGHING] I made it seem like the
place really meant something to me.
- [BOTH CHUCKLE]
- Oh Christ.
Remember the fucking raccoons that
used to live under the ice machine?
I told him I wanted to
show all the tourists
how special we could be here.
They used to make me
use this leaf blower
every day, even if it
was completely bare.
I must have blown the same
ten leaves around that
place for a fucking year.
[RUTH LAUGHING]
I think you two are
just a step ahead of me.
What actually made you want to
buy some fleabag motel anyway?
I mean, we need a business
to launder money through.
Oh no, hun.
No, that's not a problem.
We got We got a system.
From what I can tell,
Jacob mostly depended
on a wink and a handshake
with Henry down at First Osage.
We can't rely on that no more.
I can set up numbered
accounts, take us offshore.
And you bought this place in your name?
Well, it it shields
the farm to have it
in a separate name, launder-wise,
but it does bring up a
question about our partnership.
We should probably talk percentages.
[WYATT] Oh no, we don't
need to talk about money.
No. Ruth is right. It's
best to be direct and clear.
Um, well, what seems fair to
me, seeing as it's your farm,
you get 50% and me and Wy will
split the other half, 25 each.
Your cut seems fair.
Wyatt and I will split the
other 75% evenly between us.
["VEHICLE" BY THE IDES OF MARCH PLAYING]
[SCOFFS] All this good news!
I'm gonna get us some champagne!
[WYATT EXHALES DEEPLY]
Hey, well, I'm the friendly
stranger in the black sedan
Won't you hop inside my car?
I got pictures, got candy
I'm a lovable man
And I can take you
to the nearest star
I'm your vehicle, baby
I'll take you anywhere
you want to go
I'm your vehicle, woman
By now I'm sure you know
- That I love ya
- Love ya
- I need ya
- Need ya
I want ya
Got to have you, child
Great God in heaven
You know I love you
- [MUSIC HALTS]
- [ENGINE STOPS]
[DOOR BELL CHIMES]
- [KEYBOARD CLACKING]
- [SIGHING]
Fuck.
[DOOR CREAKS AND CLOSES]
[JONAH] Hey.
[RUTH] Hey.
[JONAH SIGHS]
I thought you should have these.
It's It's Ben's ashes.
He loved you.
He loved you too.
I don't think you should
work for my parents anymore.
I don't. I quit.
I ask why.
Why don't you think I
should work for your parents?
Because my mom was the
one who had Ben killed.
So, you know?
Thanks.
You come visit him.
Anytime.
See that couch?
He really loved that couch.
Your parents know
these ashes are missing?
They're in Mexico.
Huh.
Fuck.
- [SOFTLY] Fucking piece of shit.
- [DOOR OPENS]
What are you doing here?
Marty asked for me to cover
for him while he's in Mexico.
Get away from the desk.
- Charlotte, what's going on?
- Get away from the fucking desk.
Kenny! You don't gotta do that.
I talked to my parents
before they left for Mexico,
which is why I'm here covering.
Kenny, she needs to be gone, now.
Escort her out and make
sure she doesn't come back.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Well
Okay, okay, okay.
Fine.
I'll leave.
[METHODICAL DRUMBEAT PLAYING]
Wendy?
Charlotte? Jonah?
[CHARLOTTE] It's fine!
We're fine.
What happened?
[EXHALES]
But, we have some issues.
[MARTY] What the hell happened?
I shot the windows out.
Why? Why'd you shoot the windows out?
I was upset because mom killed Ben.
Tell me it isn't true.
It's not that simple.
That's not what Helen said.
Well, she's wrong.
[JONAH] Yeah, let's give her
a call. See what she says.
Helen's dead.
So
So Ben didn't have to die?
[MARTY] Jonah, um, listen
No! No, if Helen was
going to die anyway,
then there's no reason
for Ben to be killed.
[MARTY] Well, the world
doesn't work like that, pal.
[DOORBELL CHIMES]
You guys expecting somebody?
- Can I help you?
- Hi, Marty Byrde?
- [MARTY] Can I help you?
- Hi, my name is Mel Sattem,
I'm a private investigator
up from Chicago, I'm
Hi.
I'll keep this super short, I'm looking
for Helen Pierce, your business partner.
Seems she kind of dropped
off the face of the Earth.
It's my job to find her so that
she can sign some documents.
- It's not a great time.
- Well, long story short
Her husband's trying to expedite
the divorce so he can get remarried.
Love, am I right?
Uh, I have no idea where she is.
Honey, have you heard from her?
[WENDY] No.
No, she planned to go home to
Chicago. I assumed she was there.
Should we be worried?
[MEL] Oh no, no, no.
It's probably just games.
You know, legal
maneuvering, nasty divorce.
The only problem is I don't get
a signature, I don't clock out.
I don't clock out I get squirrelly.
[CHUCKLING] But not your problem.
- Sorry we were unable to help.
- Okay.
You should talk to her daughter, Erin.
See what she knows.
I'll do that. Thank you.
Why don't you leave me your card
and if I hear from
her, I'll let you know.
- [MEL] All right.
- [MARTY] Okay.
- Appreciate it.
- You got it, Mel.
[CHARLOTTE SIGHS]
[CAR ENGINE TURNS OVER]
Clean this shit up.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[WYATT] You okay?
Mmm. It's probably just the champagne.
Are you happy?
Of course I'm happy.
You didn't have to do that, you know?
With the percentages.
- Zip your mouth.
- Okay.
What's mine is yours.
Just thanks for
bringing Ruth into this.
I wouldn't want it any other way.
[DRINK POURING]
I, um, I put a new
lock on the gun cabinet
and I stored all the shells in the safe.
I shouldn't have snapped at him.
Well, he shot up the house, you know?
Still.
Maybe ease up just a little,
you know, considering.
How do you explain this to a teenager
whose only job is to hate
you in the first place?
[MARTY] Jonah doesn't hate anything.
He doesn't, he's You
know, he just needs a breath.
And he's He's smart.
He's He's going to
see that we just need to
push through to the other side,
and then we'll be free of the cartel
and we're gonna have all
the political capital we need
to change people's lives, Wendy.
I'm not fucking losing.
I believe you.
So, how do we not lose?
The only way anyone
ever not loses anything.
We need large numbers of money and
then we need to buy all the people.
I have a call into Jim Rettelsdorf.
Good.
And then somehow we have to turn
Omar Navarro into a model citizen.
Yeah.
And then we need to
convince Darlene Snell
to shut down her heroin operation.
Of course we do.
[WOMAN] Working in
conjunction with Federales,
the US Special Forces
breached the compound here.
Members of the Lagunas
Cartel returned fire.
Four members of the cartel were killed,
including the organization's
third in command.
We were able to confiscate heroin
with a street value of $350 million,
as well as cash and a
small arsenal of weapons.
I'd like to applaud Agent Miller
for the intel that led to the raid.
[ALL APPLAUDING]
This is a rundown of the insight
that we gleaned on
the Lagunas operation.
Please review it before
our next briefing.
Thank you.
Agent Miller, a moment?
I know how much the chance to
be in the field means to you.
Stay in Jefferson City. I
want you near the Ozarks.
When you get back from maternity leave,
I am not sending you back
to forensic accounting.
Congratulations.
Thank you, ma'am.
[WENDY, SARCASTICALLY] Oh
good. The kids could make it.
[MARTY] Should we get started?
Not until our other partner gets here.
Partner?
[RUTH] Fucking hell, Kenny,
I am supposed to be here!
Mr. Byrde.
[MARTY] She's She's fine. Thank you.
Thank you, Kenny.
What about your Amazon
lawyer? We waiting on her?
[MARTY] We are not.
Good to go.
You're laundering money for them?
That's why you were in Marty's
office trying to steal his software.
Couldn't make it on
your own. Is that it?
So what's this message from
Mexico that's so important
you had to drag us all in here?
Uh, the Navarro Cartel has
been made aware by you, Darlene,
that you intend to start
producing heroin again,
and they have instructed
us to warn you not to.
- [DARLENE LAUGHING]
- [MARTY] Not a joke.
- No?
- [MARTY] No.
Darlene and Jacob ran their farm
well before you guys ever
even came to the Ozarks, so
Okay, but we did come. It's a
different world now, that's a fact.
[DARLENE] So is the fact that
I don't give a good goddamn
what you or your Mexicans
have to say about anything.
Okay, but if you don't do this,
their response is gonna be
quick and it's gonna be brutal.
We're just the messengers here.
[SCOFFS]
Right.
Because you don't take
fucking action. Do you?
- That's for other people.
- This isn't a personal squabble.
- This is real.
- [SCOFFING] Oh!
Oh, I know it's fucking real.
[WENDY] No, you don't.
Helen worked for that
cartel for ten years,
they blew her brains
out two feet from us.
We had to wash pieces
of her out of our hair.
That's real.
[MARTY] So we had a moral
obligation to give you this news.
Your life is in danger, so
is Wyatt's, so is Zeke's.
I'll worry about my family. Thank you.
Now unless there's anything
else you have to say?
That's it.
Ruth. Ruth.
Please make her listen.
Don't get yourself killed.
Like you fucking care.
[MARTY] Of course I care.
[WENDY] Don't bother.
She's made her bed.
Ruth.
Hey, look, don't let
them get to you, okay?
You don't work for them anymore.
I kind of thought of Helen
like some giant fucking machine,
like a thresher or some shit.
I didn't think she
could be fucking killed.
Don't worry, Darlene's got this. Okay?
Look, I should go.
No, Wendy's right.
No, I I'm fucked.
I I need Marty's software.
I know how to run the system.
I just don't know how to
build the fucking system.
- You'll figure it out. I'm sure.
- I'm I'm serious.
So am I! I have faith.
Why?
Because you're Ruth fucking
Langmore! That's why!
[TRUCK ENGINE TURNS OVER]
[MEL] But she hasn't returned
phone calls in two days.
[NIX] Yeah, well, I'm afraid this
is the first I'm hearing about it.
So, you check back here in 48 hours
and I can consider her a missing person.
I know. But in the meantime,
it's just, maybe you could, uh
you know, run by her place, check
inside, find out what she's up to,
see if there's any signs
of foul play, you know?
Sheriff stuff.
To be honest, I don't know what business
Helen Pierce had here in the Ozarks
and I don't want to know.
What does that mean?
[SIGHS] Nothing.
Dude, I just need a signature. Please.
I got a cat that misses me in
Chicago, her name's Loretta Lynne.
She's gonna chew her own paw off
if I don't get back to her in time,
so just give me a little help and
I'll be out of your life forever.
Well, I'm sorry, but it sounds
like you've got a divorce case
and a wife who doesn't want
her husband to find her,
and that's not my business.
Right.
Well
Just in case you change your mind.
[ELEVATOR DINGS]
[MAYA] I'm not supposed to speak
to you with your hearing pending.
Right. Because you're by the book.
It's not my fault you're
getting disciplined.
You reported me!
Because you accepted a
confession you knew was false.
- And you knew could get someone killed.
- See, you
I've busted my ass for 15 years.
I'm trying to take drugs off the street.
I'm trying to save people's lives.
Same as you. Fifteen years.
- What do you want?
- I want
I want you to understand all that
before you get in front of the board
and make it sound like
it's something it's not.
You want to know the truth?
Straight up?
Straight up.
I don't give a shit
about your motivation.
The only thing that
matters is what you did,
and what you did was wrong.
- Now, you need to leave me be.
- See
You don't get to have it both ways.
You don't get to act like
you're on the high road
when you really down here on
the ground with the rest of us.
- You know what I think? I
- What?
That I'm a hypocrite?
That I'm a purist who makes compromises?
You gonna tell me how other
agents think I got a commendation
for being the pawn of
a drug cartel operative,
so how dare I look at the
world as black and white?
Is that the truth you about to drop?
Get yourself home.
You don't want them to see you
here while you're suspended.
[MENACING MUSIC PLAYING]
Thank you for cleaning
up the living room.
Didn't think I had a choice.
[WENDY] You didn't but
I appreciate it anyway.
Speaking of which, thank you for
dealing with Ruth at the casino.
[CHARLOTTE] Yeah, of course.
What did Ruth do?
Ruth tried to steal the
proprietary financial software
that I wrote for the,
um, shell companies.
Would she even be able
to reconcile the accounts
if she doesn't have access
to the offshore servers?
Okay, the point is
she's not our people anymore.
And if she comes anywhere
near the casino, or this house,
you stay away from her and
you let us know immediately.
I've already spoken to Matt in security
and he's briefed every shift change.
Good.
- Good.
- [CHARLOTTE CHUCKLES]
[WENDY] You spoken to Maya yet?
No, she won't return my calls.
Well, that's not good.
I thought we were done with the FBI.
Well, we're gonna need Maya's help
because, uh, we have
been asked to, uh
uh, essentially launder Omar Navarro.
- [JONAH] That's impossible.
- No it's not.
What exactly do you
mean by "launder him"?
Well, he wants to be free to
come and go between US and Mexico,
uh, in return for
uh, I don't know, helping the
government when they need it.
- It's just not possible.
- [WENDY] It is.
[MARTY] You know, the
important thing is,
if all goes well, we have a promise
that we're free of our
obligation to him, okay?
In six months we could be
completely out from under this.
Okay?
Yeah, in third grade, we learned
about the Temple of Heaven in Beijing.
There were like 600 acres and on
the grounds there's this building
called the Hall for
Prayer for Good Harvests.
It's circled by this
thing called the Echo Wall.
Okay. Okay, we get it.
[JONAH] Even when people are whispering,
you just hear the same things
repeated over and over
Okay, enough. You
want to be a smart-ass?
You want to hate me? Fine.
But everything your
father is saying is true.
And with our foundation,
everything this family has sacrificed,
everything,
is gonna at least give us the power
to do whatever good we want to do.
We We can be the most
powerful family in the Midwest.
With the full endorsement
of the goddamn FBI to boot.
People will find out
where the money came from.
You need to grow up. This is America.
People don't care where
your fortune came from
and in two election cycles,
it'll be just some some myth,
some gossip.
Some fucking cocktail party.
[KNOCKING ON SLIDING DOOR]
I think your doorbell's broken.
Jesus Christ. This guy.
We're having dinner, okay?
[MEL] I I just need a second.
Well, it's sacred time, we're eating.
This is you, right? At Helen's house?
I was angry because she
had my uncle committed.
Jonah, be quiet.
If you look at the rest of the footage,
you'll see she was alive when I left.
Okay, enough.
Why would you think she's dead?
How'd you get this?
Did you have a warrant?
I just show you a picture of your son
holding a shotgun on
your business partner
and that's what you're
worried about, a warrant?
This is a This is
a family matter, okay?
Look, I just need a signature, dude
Thank you for bringing it
to our attention. Good night.
[MEL] I just need a signature!
[MARTY] Okay. I, uh I
think that this is a time
where we all just need to make
sure we don't lose our heads.
- What the fuck were you doing?
- Wendy.
I went there to shoot her before
she could kill our whole family.
That's when she told
me what you did to Ben.
- Did you know about this?
- Not that part.
- Don't walk away.
- Where do you think you're going?
- Out.
- [WENDY] No, you're not!
[MARTY] Hey, I'm serious.
This is all very complicated.
We need to sit and talk
it out like a family.
You're not leaving this fucking house!
Can you calm down, please?
Everybody just stay calm.
I am calm.
All right, I'm completely calm.
- And I know you can't stop me.
- Bullshit, I can't!
- You're grounded.
- Can you dial that down just a tiny bit?
You don't think attempted
murder is cause for grounding?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
I have a key. You don't need to stay up.
Don't!
Hey, I'm I'm sorry, I can go.
No, I was serious. Anytime.
Hey.
Here. Catch.
You know, I have my own software.
For money laundering.
And I made tweaks to
my Dad's. Mine's better.
But the accounts have
been up and running
for a while now, and you can
And you can have them if you want.
Why would you do that?
Thanks.
You should probably know,
I'm I'm working with Darlene.
I know you guys had
some shit in the past
with your hair and all.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] It
looks good, by the way.
You, um
You know she's crazy, right?
[RUTH CHUCKLES]
Well, yeah.
But who the fuck isn't?
And this way, I got to work with Wyatt.
Hey.
Those accounts are
they really up and running?
You ever had a red flag?
No.
What if you did the laundering for me?
You know, I bought the Lazy-O Motel.
[CHUCKLES] That's where
you first stole from us.
It's a fucking perfect place
to run receipts through.
Look, I um I'm I'm not
I'm not sure.
No, right.
No, I mean, it's just
Seriously. Forget it.
Um
You stay as long as you want.
[PHONE BUZZING]
Hey, uh, Maya. It's Marty again.
Uh, if you could, please call me back.
It's It's really important. Um
It's important for, uh, for me,
um, for uh
for the uh
for the Bureau. Um
Anyway, call me back when
you can, please. Thank you.
Hey, there.
- [JAVI] Hola.
- Hi, what a surprise.
I was in Chicago for work. Uh
I have some new
restaurant recommendations
for you and Wendy, by the way.
[MARTY] Oh. Thank you.
Anyway, I figured I'd come
and check out the operation.
- It's beautiful.
- [MARTY] Well, yeah.
So much classier than I imagined.
Oh yeah?
New Orleans style, huh?
Um, yeah, it is.
So, tell me.
That hillbilly cunt.
Does she still think she can
push her heroin in our backyard?
You know what? Um
This place has been crawling with feds.
I don't think it's a good
idea for you to be here.
Hmm. You're right. Mmm.
We'll go to your place.
My place?
We can get pastries.
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Where did you go last night?
Why? So you can tell Mom and Dad?
No, I'm just worried about you.
I just rode my bike around.
You need to get your shit together,
you're starting to scare me.
Hey, their plan is make believe.
- We need to give them time.
- We have.
All Mom cares about is protecting us.
Her killing Ben is the
same as you killing me.
Can you imagine killing me?
This is different. Ben was mentally ill.
That's not an answer.
Mom's right. You do need to grow up.
[JONAH] And maybe you need to
get some opinions of your own.
[DOOR OPENS AND SLAMS SHUT]
Javi was just wondering how
things were going with Darlene.
I brought us pastries.
[WENDY] That is so nice of you.
Yeah. Yeah.
I um I told him that
we had a very, uh
productive initial meeting.
Yeah, that's right. Uh
We have to progress very carefully
because you know she controls
the local sheriff, so,
we don't want her to
set his sights on us.
- But you made headway?
- Oh yeah. Yeah.
Good Good headway.
Well, let's fucking hope so. Gracias.
So
Do you have to go back
to Mexico this afternoon?
You know, I thought I might
take a day or two here.
Kick back a little. Relax.
Oh, that's nice. Where are you staying?
At Helen's. You know,
since she's not using it.
[MARTY] Mm-hmm.
[JAVI SIGHS]
Gracias.
I need to confess.
Um, when my uncle first told me
about your disagreement with Helen,
my vote was to kill the two of you.
No offense.
Of course not.
I miss Helen.
She was sexy.
Like a scary, mean teacher.
[CHUCKLES LIGHTLY]
Clearly, my uncle has confidence in you.
After all, you've delivered a casino
and the intervention
of the US government.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, we keep our heads
down and we just stay at it.
How's your work going setting
up assets for his children?
Good. Of course, it was Helen who
was handling the legal end of things.
[JAVI] Right.
Right.
["CAN I KICK IT?" BY A
TRIBE CALLED QUEST PLAYING]
[JAVI] Mmm.

I want to do it.
I'll launder your money.
Well, then.
If you feel the urge to freak
Do the Jitterbug
Come and spread your arms
If you really need a hug
Get your ass over here.
A life filled with fun
That's what I love
A lower plateau is what we're above
If you diss us, we
won't even think of

This rhythm really fits
Like a snug glove
Like a box of positives
It's a plus, love

I'm looking for Helen Pierce.
I'm her friend.
I'm staying here while
she's away for a while.
Is everything okay?
Do you know how I can
get in touch with her?
[CHUCKLES]
You're the sheriff.
Like
Like, the sheriff.
[NIX] That's right. That's me.
Wow. [CHUCKLES]
[NIX] I just need to find
a way to get a hold of her.
Hold on a sec. Let me
turn the music down.
[VOLUME INCREASES]
Did he tell you where he went?
He said he just rode around on his bike.
You believe him?
I mean, it's not like him to lie.
Um. I, uh
[SIGHS] I think we
got to be careful to
have a consistent voice. Okay?
- I know.
- Yeah.
I just, I think that,
you know, we just
We can't contradict each
other in front of the kids.
I think we should be parenting
from the same direction, you know?
You're right.
I vote forward.
[CAR HONKS]
I solved your problem.
Come have a look.
You own a crematorium.
Right?
