Big Sky (2020) s02e02 Episode Script

1 Previously on "Big Sky" You should be careful, Ms.
Dewell.
They are watching.
You me everything.
You tell them why you were here? Yeah.
Following up on Ronald.
We did a little search before they got here.
- I can't see that.
- Look at it.
Make a wish and throw it.
Well, I wish something would happen in this town.
Holy crap.
Guys, let's get out of here, like, right now.
No.
We have to help him! Somebody's coming! Get down! Get the bags and get out.
They'll kill you.
Get the bags and get out.
- Now.
- Here.
Guys.
Check this out.
Good morning, Ronald.
My name is Wolfgang Legarski.
You can call me Wolf short for Wolfgang.
As in Mozart, Van Halen, Blitzer.
Did Rick ever tell you about me? Yes.
He said that you were a weak, degenerate hippie.
Big Rick.
What a shame.
He was given so much, and yet, he achieved so little.
Rick was sloppy and incompetent.
He was my friend.
My brother didn't have any friends.
Well, he helped me, or he tried to, but my urges sometimes got the better of me.
No, Ronald, he used you.
See, I have a unique perspective into what my brother was capable of, and it is my mission in life now to undo all the evil that he unleashed on the world, and that starts with you.
I am here to help you, Ronald, to master those urges.
Where is Scarlet? I want to see her now.
Seeing Scarlet is a privilege that you have not yet earned.
Now, let's get something straight I am the alpha here, which means you will have nothing unless I give it to you.
Now, I have made you something to eat.
I'll bet you you're a hungry young lad.
Now, before you have breakfast, I need you to ask permission.
When I get out of here, I'm going to kill you.
For each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
These are the laws of nature, Ronald.
And that was a warning poke.
Now, put the bacon down and ask permission.
Ah! Bad dog.
No sign of the driver.
Could be some drunk rolled it and ran off.
We'll find him.
A drunk who scratched off the VIN? Huh.
- Blood.
- Hoo boy.
Call a tow.
Get this into the shop.
Mom and Dad at work? Yeah.
There's nothing about the accident.
That's good, I think.
Yeah.
Listen, I was thinking about going back down there.
No.
No, don't do that.
We sit tight.
That's the plan, remember? I know, Madison.
But But what? That man killed someone.
- What if he saw us? - He didn't, Bridger.
Or anybody.
I mean, people camp up there.
No.
Nobody saw us.
So, please, just try to relax, okay? Be cool for once in your life.
Yeah.
Hey.
Wait.
Aren't you still suspended? It's up in two days.
Psych eval, and then I'm good to go.
Ooh, careful with those psych evals.
You never know what they might find.
Nothing I don't already know about.
- We still on? - Ready when you are.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Where are we going? - Gun shopping.
Oh, I'm a Glock gal.
Do not let them talk you into a wheel gun.
I already got my eye on something.
Hey.
You got a minute? Yeah.
Sure.
What's up? Anything on Dewey? Oh, uh, I can't get a look at that file till I'm reinstated.
Plus, local state investigators are circling the wagon, so You okay? No.
He had a picture of Kai.
- That's my fault.
- How so? By chasing Ronald, I made my own son a target.
Cassie, you can't think like that.
Assuming Dewey was working with Ronald, it's the most likely thing.
I don't accept that.
This is way bigger than them.
It doesn't change what the photo means.
You know that.
Look, we have to proceed carefully.
Now, I say we circle back.
- We start again.
We dig into Legarski - I can't.
I have to protect my family.
Okay.
You keep at it, and if you have anything real, let me know, but I can't Right.
Road's closed.
You following me? No, I'm on my way to work.
I got a graveyard shift.
What's this? Truck went off the road.
Seems like a lot of fuss for a an accident.
Come on.
What do you got, a drunk driver? I don't think so.
I got blood, no bodies.
You know what you got? You got yourself a mystery.
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
Hey, you know, I was wondering something.
You think that I could get you to let me through, 'cause I'm gonna be late for work.
You wouldn't want that.
Let him through! Howdy.
Welcome to Montana.
Where you comin' from? None of your business.
Just being friendly.
- Lemme get that for you.
- I'm good.
Really.
I like your hat.
How much for it? It's not for sale, ma'am.
Where I come from, everything has a price.
Well, not my hat.
Hey.
Hey, Missy.
Here we go.
Be nice, Donno.
I don't want no trouble.
Y'all have a nice day.
You can keep the hat.
So nice.
I see why they call it Big Sky.
It's like an ocean.
It's a whole vibe.
I'm gonna need some tools.
Yeah, can we just put a pause on cutting people up this time, Donno? Let's just follow our money, see where it takes us.
First, we gotta do something about that outfit.
Keys.
You ride bitch.
Okay.
You know, the original proverb used to be, "One bad apple spoils the whole barrel.
" Yeah.
Thing is, no one buys fruit by the barrel anymore.
If you're looking for the library, kid, it's across the street.
- Li - Your future awaits.
Uh, no, I'm I'm here to report a crime.
You got this? No can do.
I'm on break.
Sign in.
Have a seat.
I will grab someone.
Something wrong, kid? Wh Uh, no.
No.
I'm good.
Really.
Hey, newbie, you got one.
There's a kid up front.
He wants to report a crime.
What kind of crime? I don't know.
I didn't ask.
Ugh.
You guys gotta work on your coffee.
Oh, tell me about it.
- Harvey? - Yeah.
I was told there was a kid here who wanted to report a crime.
He didn't say anything to me.
I guess he must've changed his mind.
Tonight, you're mine Completely - Mom? - Ahhh You give your love Come dance with me.
So sweetly - God, I love this song.
- Mom? Mom, you've been good for three months.
- What happened? - I know, baby.
I know.
It's just this damn tooth.
Okay, you need to go to the dentist.
A crown costs two grand.
We We don't have that.
You know Ugh.
Hey.
That's enough.
That's enough.
Come here.
- I'm sorry.
- I know you're sorry.
Okay.
Listen to me.
Today, you're going to the dentist, I'm gonna make you an appointment, and you're getting a crown put in, okay? - We can't.
- Yes, we can.
I've been saving up my babysitting money, and I have enough.
It's your money, Max.
Yeah, I know.
Uh, but don't worry, because whenever one of T-Lock's ideas hits, then you can just give it back.
They're all bad.
Yeah.
Seriously, just take the money.
Okay? I don't want to see you in pain, and I don't want you to drink anymore.
Thank you.
Gah, how'd I get so lucky? Will you still love me tomorrow? - Hey.
- Hey.
So, she's been waiting to, uh, talk to you.
She say what about? Mm.
Seems pretty upset, though.
Smells like a paying job.
I got it.
Well, you know, a little bit of space between you and Ronald's not a bad thing.
I told you, I'm done with that.
That is so great, and I so don't believe you.
- Oh.
- Huh.
- Nice.
- Hmm.
It Real nice.
Hi.
I'm Cassie Dewell.
I'm gonna be honest.
When I came in here, I was expecting someone different.
Oh, what were you expecting? Well, I-I heard about you shooting that Trooper.
It was, um kinda badass.
I don't know about that, but I'll take it as a compliment.
What can I do for you, Tonya? How did you know my name? Your name tag.
Right.
I've never done this before.
How does this work? Oh, well, you just you just tell me what you're looking for, and I will let you know if I can help.
My boyfriend is missing.
Does your boyfriend have a name? Uh, Sam Teske, but everyone calls him Big Sam.
He didn't come home the other night.
He was on his way to pick me up, and just, poof.
Doesn't show.
Doesn't call.
He's not answering any of my texts.
Has this ever happened before? No.
I'm worried something bad happened to him.
I can help.
I'll grab you some paperwork.
You fill it out, pay the retainer, and I'll get started.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
I'd advise against your plan.
I don't know what you're talking about.
The next one'll be harder.
It'll go easier if you accept your position in the pack.
Right now, you are not in the pack.
You are less than a dog.
What if I don't want to be in your pack? Then you don't deserve to live.
This is basic animal kingdom stuff.
Law of the jungle! Lex talionis, my friend! I don't say it very often What do you think? Uh.
What's that supposed to mean? Do I look hot or not? Yeah, I'd rather not say.
Why? Well, if I tell you you look hot, you'll get offended and kill me.
Donno, do I look hot or not? Yes or no? You look okay and also good.
We need to be honest with each other.
You look like a pedo or a serial killer.
This John Wayne Gacy fall/winter collection that ain't it.
Try this on.
- Nah, I'm good.
- Try it on.
Is that an order? Yes, it is.
Try this on and I'll buy you a knife.
I have a perfectly good knife.
Try the damn shirt on.
C-Could you please watch your language? I-I try to run a wholesome establishment.
"Wholesome establishment.
" You sell knives and guns.
I take it you're not from around here.
Oh! Oh, we need "Queer Eye" in here, stat! Oh.
I'll take this, too.
Well, that that's an awfully big knife for a little lady.
You mean this knife? First a lover, then a wife Time to go, Donno.
our house a home - Congratulations! - Congratulations.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, I just passed an exam, Denise.
You don't have to make a big deal out of this.
Oh, don't be modest.
You're an official PI now.
Own it, girl.
Celebrate! Toodles.
Oh, my gosh.
This Now that you're officially part of the team, you got anything on Big Sam? Um well, something just doesn't feel right.
I mean, he lives way above his means.
Did you ask his girlfriend what he does for a living? - Said he was self-employed.
- Hmm.
So, he just vanished.
I tried to get his last location off his phone, but I think we're gonna need a warrant.
I know somebody who might be able to help with that.
All right then.
- Hey, Ms.
D.
- Hi, Max.
Uh, I was around the corner when I got your message, so I figured I'd stop by.
What's up? Um, I was wondering if you could work on Tuesday.
My dad's got some rodeo poker chili night.
I don't know.
Um but I was also hoping that you could you could talk to Kai and just see how just see how school's going for him, and Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, I think he's think he's more comfortable opening up to you than me these days.
- You okay? - Yeah, I'm I'm fine.
D-Do you know him? No.
I-I thought you recognized him.
He's missing.
Uh Cool.
I mean, um, that's too bad.
Are Are you sure everything's okay? Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
At home? Everything? Yeah, it's all good.
Um, I'll see you next week.
Ronald, I just wanted you to see what you have to work for.
No.
Enjoy her from here.
You haven't earned the privilege to talk to her yet.
Scarlet! Seems like Scarlet's already found her place.
I don't know about you, but there's something about women working in gardens.
Stuff of nations.
Really gets me going.
See? He's okay.
I want to talk to him.
You will.
In time.
But until then, make sure that crabgrass is pulled.
A tidy garden is a bountiful garden, Scarlet.
Right.
Yes.
Love takes many forms.
What form it takes depends on you.
She is a creature so full of light.
Makes me think there's still a little bit of good in you to attract such a fine woman.
Come on.
Let's get you cleaned up.
So, is this a fishbowl or a drink? It's okay if you're a lightweight.
Man, I keep thinking about Ronald and Scarlet.
Oh, my God.
Are we really gonna talk about work? Sorry.
It's, uh, my default when I'm nervous.
Ooh.
Why you nervous? Sometimes, the social thing is awkward for me.
It's okay.
I'm easy to talk to.
Remember, I've got a PhD in what men want.
I didn't know you then.
It's part of my past.
I'm not ashamed of it.
I actually think I can really use it.
So, you asked me to dinner for a reason.
Why don't you just tell me what you want? No judgments.
Promise.
nomás lo estoy tirando First, I want a beer and not this.
Oh, my gosh.
You're stalling.
Okay.
Um I need your advice on how to get through to Cassie.
You have to remember, it's not about you.
Cassie's got walls.
High ones.
Yeah.
I know.
Maybe don't try so hard.
Let her come to you.
That's your expert advice? Look, I said I was an expert on what men want, not women, and certainly not Cassie.
So, are we gonna drink, or are you gonna be a weenie and order a beer? A weenie? - Cheers.
- Cheers.
What the hell? I thought we said we weren't going to the cops? Yeah, so did I, but apparently, my brother doesn't listen to me.
And you're sure he was a cop? Okay, what did I tell you guys? He's a cop or a sheriff.
I don't know the difference.
But yeah, it was definitely the guy that shot the other guy.
Did he see you? Yeah, he saw me, but he didn't recognize me.
Okay.
Uh, Bridger's not the only one with something to confess.
I had to use some of the money.
What the hell? Just a little bit.
My My mom's tooth was really messed up.
She was in so much pain.
I-I promise, I didn't say anything.
How much'd you take? $2,000.
Just so you know, I told her it was babysitting money I've been saving up.
Whoa.
Okay.
I thought we all agreed we wouldn't do anything.
Yeah, so did Bridger, and he went to the sheriff's station.
Yeah, and it was a mistake, okay? I know that now.
But I was just trying to do the right thing.
Yeah, so was I, but my mom was in pain and she needed my help, - and so I gave her the money - Hey, we're good.
We're good.
Max helped her mom, Bridger found out we can't go to the cops.
That's where we're at right now.
Okay.
Plus, I brought you all $2,000 each, to make us even.
So everybody cool with that? I'm down.
So, you're saying I could get a drone? I mean, if that's what you want.
And then we'll wait, a couple months at least, and if there's no news about the missing money and no one comes to look for it, then we can divide the rest and do whatever we want.
What about the drugs? What are we gonna do with those? I say we throw them in the river.
Yeah, I'm, like, totally not down with that because of the fish and stuff, but I hear you.
I do.
We get rid of them.
That way, all we have to worry about is the money.
Agreed? Yeah.
Okay.
As long as there are no more surprises.
Does anyone else have something they need to admit? And you're seriously not gonna buy a drone, are you? Shwank.
- Your brother is an idiot.
- You think? That was really cool what you did for your mom, by the way.
Thanks.
Do you wanna come to my house? We can make a TikTok, and I want to show you something in my room.
I saw you.
Okay, keep walking.
Don't engage.
I saw you! Hey! Leave us alone, creep! Ugh! Come on! Let's go! How many years your brother been working for me? Oh, really? Oh, yeah? Been quite a while, don't you think? Ah, yeah, but let's not talk about him.
Come here.
Now, wait.
- He's been working there 12 years.
- Now you want to follow me? Come on.
Like I said, I cleaned it all up Ringo, Big Sam, 'cause I'm thorough like that.
Where's the truck? The department has it.
I would've brought it, but I didn't have time.
- Is it clean? - Clean as I could make it.
So, they're gonna find something and we're gonna have to deal with it, that's what you're telling me.
Look, how the hell do I know, lady? Did the best I could.
Look, I'm handling it.
The money and the drugs are missing.
How is that "handling it"? Well, like I said, maybe Big Sam stashed them.
I don't know.
I'm looking.
Or maybe you took 'em.
All right, I'm gonna stop you right there.
When I arrived at the accident, the money and the drugs were gone.
Y'all wanna come at me? Bring it.
You ain't gonna find nothing.
Well, we're gonna need Big Sam's address.
His girl doesn't know anything about this.
Did you talk to her already? No.
But Tonya's a good girl.
I went to high school with her.
I can handle her, if you want.
Have you touched this? This is so soft.
Mm.
Okay, we're gonna take it from here.
It's like a baby lion.
Mm.
Word of advice if you think you can just blow into town and start making messes, it ain't gonna go well.
This is Montana.
Thanks.
Love you to stay, but I'm late for work.
Why'd you come by the motel last night? Uh-oh.
Did I get caught? Yeah, you could've gotten me made.
How'd you even know where I was staying, huh? Did my homework.
And you know that that was just work, right? Sure it was.
Jenny, she's the front for a connection I've been trying to make.
- That's how you make a connection? - No, it isn't.
I make the connection by working the assignment for over six months.
Remember? Come on.
You know how it is.
Yeah, I do.
I I think we're gonna have to lay some ground rules here.
- Rules? - Yeah, rules.
That doesn't sound like much fun.
- No? - No.
Well, we can make it fun.
- Hmm.
- Yeah.
We could, uh - I don't know - Hmm.
just, like, sneak around.
I-I don't know.
As much as I'd like to continue this whatever you call it, I am late for work.
Maybe we can talk about this later.
Okay.
You still working that, uh, accident? Yeah.
Got nothing so far.
Just blood.
No bodies.
No VIN.
Wait, no VIN? Yeah.
It cross with something you're working on? No.
Well, you know what? Maybe.
I-I've heard about this missing drug shipment.
Yeah, that truck.
I don't know.
If I were you, I would, uh poke around.
You have a great morning, Jen.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You call Jenny yet about that warrant for Big Sam? I was just about to.
I need to know what I'm looking for first.
Well, I found something.
He had two one-way tickets to Cabo booked on a debit card.
Cabo? Tonya never mentioned that.
Well, maybe she didn't know.
Flights were for the night he disappeared.
Okay.
So, either he left with someone else, or she's not being entirely truthful.
I'll talk to her.
You should call Jenny, see if she can come by - and give us a hand.
- Okay.
Yeah, go ahead and pop the hood there.
Searched it twice.
Nothing back on the blood.
You put it up on the lift? Yep.
Nothin' 'cept he had a leak in the transfer case.
Let's see.
What are you looking for? I don't know yet.
Bingo.
- Smuggling compartment.
- Hot damn.
Oh, baby.
Look what I found.
I bet we get a print off this.
And to forget about today Did you know about the two tickets to Cabo? It's, um It's complicated.
No, it's not.
Order up.
Do you know about the plane tickets? Yes or no.
He I wasn't entirely sure.
I'm sorry.
I-I can't talk about this right now.
I'm gonna get fired - if I don't help this group.
- Tonya - Hey, guys.
- Popular place.
What pie should I get? I was thinking apple, but Ooh.
No.
Huckleberry's the play.
Good to know.
I'm new in town, so Can I also ask, is there a place to get your nails done here? I'm not the one to ask, but you could try Jodi's Salon on 14th.
Jodi's Salon.
Okay.
Gosh, you're a godsend.
No problem.
Excuse me.
Can we order? Sure.
What can I get you? Uh, I'm gonna have the huckleberry pie à la mode.
Same Tonya.
All I want Anything else? Yeah, we'd love to ask you some questions about Sam Teske.
We're old friends of his.
I'd also like some coleslaw.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Appreciate you coming.
His name's Sam Teske.
His girlfriend said he disappeared.
I might need a warrant.
Unless it's too much.
I get it.
Uh, no.
Uh Just a weird coincidence.
I'm looking for the same guy.
What do you mean? Found his truck off the road.
Blood everywhere.
Gun hidden inside a drug compartment, registered to him.
I was just gonna pay him a visit.
His girlfriend hired me to find him.
Well, let's go talk to her.
Mm.
- Good stuff.
- Mm-hmm.
Hey, Maxie.
Come here a second.
Uh, your mom feels so much better after getting that crown.
Don't you, baby? So much better.
Thank you, sweetie.
Plenty of ice cream in the freezer if you want it.
I got, um, mint chocolate chip, cookie dough, and your favorite, moose tracks.
Okay.
Cool.
Well, I have homework to do.
Oh.
Wait up.
Wait up.
Wait up.
Wait up.
What is it? Just, uh I wanna ask you something.
Where'd you get that money? Hi, Tonya.
Remember us? No, no, no, no, no! Please don't hurt me! Where is it? I-I don't know what you're talking about.
Our money and drugs.
What's going on? I don't know.
I'm I'm I'm just spinning out a little.
Um, T-Lock asked me where I got the money for the dentist.
Um And you told him it was babysitting money? Yeah, yeah, I told him that, but I don't think he bought it.
Harp, this is getting messy.
"Getting messy"? Max, we saw a guy get killed.
Yeah, I know.
And And And there's something else.
Cassie Dewell she's the PI I babysit for she's looking into the accident.
I saw the dead guy's face in a file at her office.
Okay, well, um I mean, nobody knows anything.
Right? So, everything's gonna be okay.
What about the freaky night stalker? He said he saw us.
Was just some weird homeless dude.
Don't spin out.
Okay.
But we need to tell Madison and Bridger about him and about Cassie Dewell.
Okay, but I mean, just remember, Bridger and Madison's parents are lawyers.
What is that supposed to mean? It means that you didn't tell them about Cassie Dewell right away for a reason, because you knew it would be one more reason for them to tell their parents, and if they did that, they would be fine, and we would not.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Can you help me dump the drugs? About that.
Um what if I have a better idea? We sell them.
Harp No.
No, no, no, no, no.
That is a really bad idea.
No.
No, it isn't.
Look, there's this guy that I work with, and he can help us and we wouldn't even have to do anything.
We'd just get a cut.
Just think about it.
You trust me, don't you? Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
We'll just give this guy a sample and see how it plays out.
We can do it tonight.
And if it's sketchy, then we'll bail.
Harp, I don't I don't know.
It's dangerous.
We could get hurt.
You're cute when you're scared.
You know, if Sam Teske was into drugs, it's possible his girlfriend didn't know.
Come on.
If you're telling me they were ready to pick up and move down to Mexico, it's gotta be for a reason.
She knows more than she's letting on, Cassie.
If she knew who was after him, why would she hire me? Well, that is a very good question.
I'll ask her.
- The hell are you doing? - What the hell are you doing? I don't know.
Looks like I just caught you sneaking off somewhere when you should be in bed.
What's in your hand? Nothing.
Show me.
No.
- Give it to me.
Give it! - No! - Give it! Give it to me! - No! No! Stop! Aha! What do we have here? Some kind of illegal substance? Tonya? What the hell happened here? Tonya? She's gone.
She must have been taken.
Mm.
Scratched my neck.
Donno.
Safety first.
