Big Sky (2020) s02e06 Episode Script

Previously on "Big Sky" Here.
Make a wish and throw it.
- What's that? - I found it near the scene.
Looks like something a kid would do.
Drop the bag, or you die! Who the hell are you?! Run! If this murder's connected to the cartel, this is much bigger than we thought.
I think this has something to do with Dietrich.
Land surveyor said he saw a man matching Ronald's description outside a remote cabin.
He was standing with a woman who sounds a lot like Scarlet.
And how was your conjugal visit with Ronald? H-He's still set on escaping.
Is that ? Dietrich.
Oh! Ahh! They were spying on you.
- Get off of her! - Not a good idea, doll.
So why were you following me? Because they're cops.
Hoo, boy.
This is interesting.
Just drop the gun and we'll go.
Why were you following me? We were just having a little girls' night.
Let's just all walk away, blame it on the alcohol.
- Yeah? - How about you lower your gun? Come on.
Nobody's gonna get hurt.
See? Wasn't so hard.
Now you ladies go and have a nice night.
Go! You heard him.
Thanks for letting me borrow it.
What the hell was that? They were following us! Security cameras, dumbass.
You want to execute a cop, this ain't the place to do it.
Hey, Dad.
- How was last night? - Don't ask.
Trust me.
Okay.
Doesn't sound like too much tequila.
- Something happen? - What's this? Oh, your babysitter's, I think.
Found it in between the couch cushions.
I know that look.
- I gotta go, Dad.
- Hey.
I'll be seeing you later, right? Told you I want to show you something.
Yeah, for sure.
Hey.
You saved us, and I just I wanted to say thanks.
You shouldn't have been there in the first place.
Why are you helping us? That's my business.
Thank you.
They're not gonna stop looking for you.
I know.
Hey, Max.
Cassie, hi.
Um, what's up? Yeah, sorry just to show up unannounced, but you left something at my house.
Oh, my gosh.
I have been looking for these everywhere.
You're a life-saver.
Where'd you get this charm? It's really cool.
It's just this thing someone started at school.
Yeah, a lot of us have them.
It just means that I'm single.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Dumb, I know.
Here you go.
Do we have a guest? Um, Cassie, this is my mom's boyfriend, Tracy.
Tracy, this is the woman I babysit for, Cassie Dewell.
It's T-Lock.
You want to come in, Cassie? I was just about to make a smoothie.
I actually gotta run.
I'm meeting up with some friends.
Thank you so much for bringing me my keys back, Cassie.
- Really appreciate it.
- Of course.
Are you sure you don't want to come inside for a smoothie? - I'll rain check.
- All right.
- Well, you have a nice day.
- You, too.
What do you mean you can't find it? I don't know.
I always keep it in this little dish by my bed, but it's not there.
It could just be in your room somewhere.
Yeah, totally.
I mean, I haven't looked hard for it yet.
I've had a lot on my mind.
Did you drop it at Harvey's house? Maybe.
Because the way Cassie was looking at it, I mean she knows.
She knows something about it.
Max, you said Cassie was cool, right? Maybe she could help us.
We're too late for that.
We're alone in this.
Then we will figure it out.
Together.
Hmm.
Like looking at a ghost.
- It's creepy.
- Mm.
I wonder if he knew about Rick.
You and Jerrie, thinking alike.
She got his address before she left.
Oh, I just spoke with her this morning.
She didn't mention this.
Yeah, well, she probably has other things on her mind.
You know, I'm gonna send her a care package.
I swear, if this is another call about my car warranty expiring, I'm gonna lose my Dewell and Hoyt, this is Denise.
- The boiler's acting up again.
- Great.
- Hey.
- You're here.
Yeah, uh, taking over Jerrie's desk.
Kidding.
I could use you.
I'm gonna get something from my office and we can get lunch.
Sure, I'd like to grab lunch and be used.
You okay? Other than a raging hangover, I'm fine.
So last night was interesting.
What was I supposed to do? You did plenty.
Had your gun pointed at Cassie's head.
- Mm.
- Told Dietrich I was a cop.
Mm-hmm.
It could have gone a lot worse, too, if Dietrich found out about me.
I just don't want to see anything happen to you.
We need to cool down.
That's not what I'm saying.
I'm not gonna have another cross happen like last night.
That would be bad news for both of us.
Son of a bitch.
Sounds like someone's been keeping secrets, Maxie.
Sweetie.
We need to talk.
You told him.
How could you? You promised.
T-Lock is gonna give it to the police.
I'll call in from a pay phone.
Totally anonymous.
A pay phone? It's not 1987, Tracy, okay? - This does not sound like a good plan.
- Max, stop, please.
Please, just tell him what you found.
It's okay.
If you'd feel more comfortable talking to the cops, go ahead.
Okay.
Okay, fine.
I found a bag of drugs.
Was there anything else, like money, maybe? Yeah, a little, but I spent it all on her tooth thing.
Okay.
Where are they now? The drugs.
- My friend's house.
- Ah.
You need to bring them here, now.
The longer you have those drugs, the more danger you're in.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of everything.
Everything is gonna be fine, baby, I promise.
Calling my brother impulsive would be an understatement.
We used to have these Lego fortresses that we would build when we were kids, but Jag would always tear the entire thing down if one piece didn't look or fit right.
Just days of work destroyed because it wasn't perfect.
Me, on the other hand, I could see the problem and fix it without having to smash everything.
But did he listen to me, ever? No.
What is this? What did you do? - Scrambled eggs? - What's in them? Dollop of mustard.
See, this is what I'm talking about.
You men just trying to change and destroy things.
You and your little mustard eggs.
Jag with his scorched-earth nonsense.
- It's childish.
- It's good, though, right? - That's not the point.
- Admit that it's good.
Yes, okay, it's good.
So what are we gonna do about Dietrich? Well, my beautiful, bearded friend, I have an idea that I think you might enjoy.
So Here we are.
Yeah, here we are.
Finally, right? Right.
So what did you want to pick my brain about? Oh, yeah.
My babysitter.
Oh, okay.
Didn't see that coming.
Go on.
This key chain was found near Harvey's body.
Max, my babysitter, has the same one.
Mm.
Sounds a bit like a coincidence, huh? Yeah, on its own, totally.
But I know Max, and she's lying about something.
It's just one of those feelings I get.
Well, did you tell Jenny? - Now's not the right time.
- Why? Afraid she'll kick down your babysitter's door, - guns a-blazing? - That's exactly what I'm afraid of.
This Jenny 2.
0 is a little different.
Look, so you know, Lindor 2.
0 is not gonna stop looking for Ronald.
I have an address for Legarski's brother.
I'm gonna pay him a visit.
Okay.
You do you.
Just leave me out of it.
What about Cassie 2.
0? Nope.
No Cassie 2.
0.
Just same old me.
Impossible.
Come on, tell me something I don't know.
It's your turn to confess.
Oh, okay.
Confess? Oddly deep for lunch.
Yes, it is.
Every time you asked me out, I should have said yes.
And yet, you didn't.
Until now.
If you're cool with that.
This is just how I roll.
Totally.
Totally.
This is literally the worst plan ever.
He He said it'll all be anonymous.
Max, you can't stand T-Lock.
What makes you think you can trust him? I don't trust him, okay? But if I don't do what he wants, he was gonna make me go to the cops.
And so the solution to that is giving him two bags full of drugs and money? I mean, that doesn't really sound right to me.
Well, I didn't mention the money, only the drugs and the accident.
What about us? He didn't ask and I didn't say.
You didn't have to do that.
We're all in this together.
Yeah.
All of us.
We got your back.
God.
I just I just want this all to be over.
Okay.
So, give T-Lock the drugs.
And we still have the money.
Howdy.
Hey, Max.
Uh, hi, Ms.
D.
Can I talk to you for a second? Uh, yeah, sure.
I was wondering if you heard about the police officer who died in the woods.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was, uh, on the news.
- Why? - They found a key chain at the scene just like the one you have.
Weird.
Yeah, it is.
Well, I still have mine, so Max, if you were out there, if you know anything, you can tell me.
You actually think I had something to do with this? I didn't, so have a nice day.
Max Is it tricky, being someone's lapdog? I mean, it's more than just a job.
It's a relationship that's twisted.
You've got to stay loyal to him, but you're living in utter fear? Ugh.
That's a lot to unpack.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
How about you and Dietrich? What's your deal? - Why don't you ask him? - 'Cause that would go well.
He's one of those men who hates women.
Hates it even more when they ask questions.
You got a point? I just want to know if you would die for Dietrich.
Like, are you one of those macho, yay team, die-with-your-boots-on types? I still don't know what you're asking me.
- Really? - Mm.
'Cause you you didn't strike me as a dumb cowboy.
Is there anyone that you would die for? Oh.
Oh, there it is.
Yeah.
There's someone.
It's not your boss, though.
That's interesting.
What do you want from me? Just want to know what Dietrich did with our drugs and money.
We don't have it.
- I told you he'd say that.
- Oh, God.
Such a shame.
You are so cute.
I really thought you were smart, too.
How tall are you? Travis? Ice cream? Something stronger? Maybe both? Yeah.
So? So he said we should "cool things down.
" There's a part of me that knows he's probably right, but But you like him, and you still haven't told him that you like him.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
You've been hurt before.
You've lost people that you've loved.
I'm no relationship expert, but it makes sense why you'd want to protect your heart.
I think you just need to figure out if he's worth the risk.
Just talk to him.
What about Lindor? - Is he worth the risk? - How did you know? - Denise.
- Denise.
It's always Denise.
Uh-huh.
Mm.
Yeah, we had a moment, and I could feel him holding back, but I didn't I didn't pry.
See, that's where we differ.
I can't stop prying.
Oh, really? By the way, did you find anything more on Harvey? Tubb's locked me out.
I was just wondering about that key chain we found - at the crime scene.
- Well, we ran some prints.
It didn't match anybody in the system.
Why? My babysitter, Max, has one exactly like it.
- That's weird.
- Yeah.
Even so, even if Harvey was the one shooting at us, I don't think it was your babysitter.
Yeah, and I asked her about it, and she denied knowing anything.
Try it.
You're just not a good influence.
That's what this is.
Okay? Okay.
- Big bag.
- Yeah.
Probably worth a lot of money, right? T-Lock is risking himself for our safety.
Yeah.
Listen to your mother.
You'll thank me later.
It's all gonna be much better.
Hey.
Where did you go last night? What do you mean? You thought I was asleep, but you got up and left the room.
Where does anybody go late at night? But where did you go? Don't interrogate me.
I'm not interrogating you.
I'm asking you a simple question.
I was in the bathroom.
It was a long time.
I went out to look at Venus.
Was that before or after you went to the bathroom? After.
Do I need your permission to look at distant planets now? No, I just didn't know that you were an astronomer.
There's a lot of things you don't know, Ronald.
I thought you told me everything.
- I don't tell you everything because - Ronald? Scarlet? I need the two of you to come with me.
- But I'm not done with - It's okay.
We'll do it later.
Hello, friend.
Welcome to Holy Wolf Ranch.
How can I be of service? What are you doing? I'll explain later.
Just be quiet, Scarlet.
- What? - In there.
There's someone here, isn't there? Don't make a sound.
Help! Agatha! Oh, my God! I can't be the only fan of your book to just show up like this.
No, but most of them have a troubled dog in tow, and from what I can tell and I can tell a lot Jim the Dog isn't troubled at all.
Cats.
I'm sorry? My girlfriend has them.
We just moved in together, and Jim the Dog's been showing me his frustration by devouring half my socks.
And you came up here to get some advice on how to deal with that? Yeah, if you don't mind.
What did you say you did for a living? Oh, I own a roofing business.
- Oh, my God! - I'm sorry, but that's the last warning he's gonna get.
Mark the roofer, is that it? T That's right.
Why don't you tell me why you're really here, Mark? I thought I just did.
Jim the Dog, quiet.
There's no reason for alarm.
Sit.
Dogs aren't the only animals I can read.
Your name might be Mark, but you're not a roofer, and you certainly don't have a girlfriend.
This is about my brother, isn't it? Hey.
How was the drop-off? My mom's an idiot for trusting T-Lock.
Yeah, I get it.
But worst case, he gets caught with the drugs.
Max what else is going on? Nothing.
Come on.
You're gonna be late for your shift.
Hey.
You're not in this alone.
What was that for? I just wanted to feel good for a moment.
You're the only thing that makes me feel like like the sky isn't falling.
We're done with it now.
It's over.
Travis? Travis? Travis? Ahhh! You know, I gotta be honest.
This is not how I thought this was gonna go.
Call me a bleeding-heart optimist or whatever, but I really thought that Dietrich was gonna be like the fat girl at our pool party.
We were gonna We were gonna mean girl the hell out of him.
- You people are insane.
- Yeah, well.
Good times.
Donno? - I think we popped his brain.
- Stop laughing! Listen, if you think that Dietrich gives a damn about me, well, then, you're stupider than Wait, I'm sorry, - what's your name again, friend? - Donno.
Then you're stupider than fatass Donno here, okay? See? I knew you would be a good mean girl.
"Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen.
" You've seen it.
It's so funny.
- You want Smiley.
- Who's Smiley? Dietrich, he's his his nephew.
Works at the bar.
He thinks of him like he's his own kid.
All right, get to the point.
He's been skimming for months, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was him and Big Sam who were the ones that ripped y'all off, so Dietrich's blind to all of it.
He's not willing to die for Dietrich.
I would like an address, please.
Oh.
You okay? State your business.
We're looking for your guy, Stone.
We've got an arrest warrant for him.
For what? Blowing off some steam? For pulling a gun on an officer.
Where is he? If I remember correctly, Smiley here, he hit you a few times.
You want to take him too? And if I remember correctly, I hit him first.
Always believed in a fair fight.
Stone drew his weapon.
Pretty sure your girlfriend drew first.
Cassie Dewell? Just tell me where he is.
Haven't seen him.
Where's Stone? I tell you what if I see him, I'll drive him down to the station myself.
Not if I pick you up first.
Don't say that.
Come on.
Let go.
Mm.
Okay, out with it.
Why are we here? Remember that ranch we used to ride at when you were little? Yeah.
Feels like a lifetime ago.
I did not have two nickels to rub together, and Mr.
Coleman let us ride for free.
Gave me the idea for the Black rodeo, and now more people know that Black cowboys and cowgirls exist.
Haven't we always existed? Existing and being seen are two different things.
I always wanted my own ranch, though.
I'm thinking of buying this one.
- What do you think? - What? You can bring Kai here, and he can learn to ride.
Someday, Kai's children.
What do you really think? I need your blessing.
I think it would be amazing.
Amazing.
Smiley, hey.
What's up, old buddy? Damn, T-Lock.
Been a hot minute.
Can I talk to you for a second, alone? Yeah.
Go on.
Okay, okay, you got my dandelions waving.
- Where the hell'd you get this? - Never mind that.
Plenty more where that came from.
Hey! You been stealing our product, man? I I didn't steal anything.
- My boss will kill you.
- Hey, okay.
I can get it for you and you can give it back to your boss, or just just hear me out.
Just hear me out.
We can sell it ourselves.
Who else knows about this? Nobody, I swear.
Just think about it.
Would you like some coffee? Or tea? She makes the perfect cup.
No, thank you.
It would be rude to not partake.
You'll have to excuse my husband.
He can get rather sensitive when it comes to his brother.
Yes, dear, but he did come here under false pretenses.
Let's give him a chance to explain, hm? I'm a U.
S.
Marshal.
I'm looking for Ronald Pergman.
Do you know who that is? Of course.
My brother's partner in crime.
Did you brother ever talk to you about Ronald? About what they were doing together? Is that a serious question? I'm just doing my job.
Unless, of course, you have something to hide.
Do you? Have something to hide? Shame.
It's okay.
My husband did not know what Rick was doing, but he knew he was broken.
He feels he should have helped his brother.
Helped him? I'm sorry, what what could you have done? I could have fixed him.
You know, uh I think I will have some of that coffee.
Splendid.
All right, T-Lock.
I'm in.
Yeah, come by my place tomorrow.
We'll, um, bash out all the details.
Everything okay? Perfect.
I'm sorry I lied to you.
The job sometimes demands it.
Hard habit to break, I guess.
Every habit can be broken.
With the proper training.
You are an apt pupil, aren't you? Hey! You thirsty? Maybe some milk.
These Cheezy Bites expired five years ago.
How do people live like this? I found something.
Is that a used condom? Oh, I need glasses.
These are ours.
It's too late to ask this chucklehead - where he got them.
- We don't need to.
Dietrich had our drugs the whole time.
He killed Harvey, and he lied to my face.
I hate liars.
It's time to show this guy who's actually in charge.
Ugh.
Not now.
Are you kidding me, sis? Pack your bags, Dhruv.
We're going to Montana.
One coffee to go.
Cream and sugar, like you asked.
- Thank you.
- You pulling an all-nighter? Yeah, something like that.
You're, um You're Max's friend, right? - Yeah.
- I'm Cassie Dewell.
She babysits my son.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I hear about him all the time.
D Good things, I hope? Just that they are starting the next great rock band.
Yep.
Yep.
The world better watch out.
- Don't want that to get cold.
- Mm-hmm.
- Enjoy your coffee.
- You bet.
You're mad.
You're alive.
I thought my text said leave me alone.
I've been looking for you all damn day! - Oh, my God.
You're hurt.
- It's nothing.
I knew something was wrong.
- What happened? What happened? - I had worse.
It's nothing, Jenny! And I'm not gonna tell you, and you know it.
I did it.
I'm under the wing of the dragon.
- The cartel? - Yeah.
They need someone they can trust to run distro now.
That's the only reason that I'm alive.
All right.
I'm gonna get you some ice.
Thanks for your time.
Sorry we got off on the wrong foot.
You recovered nicely.
Drive safe.
The turns are hard to see down there in the dark.
I'll be okay.
Thanks again.
Be good, Jim the Dog.
"I could have fixed him.
" What do you think he meant by that? Nothing? Really? No twin brother conspiracy theories? No secrets? Yeah, you're probably right.
Still.
Help me Oh, my God.
- Does it hurt? - Mnh-mnh.
Liar.
I just need to know you're okay.
Don't make me come hunting for you again.
Mm.
Maybe I like Jenny Hoyt chasing me.
I'm serious.
Mm.
Stone! Open the door! It's Dietrich.
Hide, now.
You listen to me.
Do not come out.
You do not say anything.
Promise me.
What the hell? What took you so long? What What is going on? - Someone in here? - No, no.
It's just me.
- Let's go for a ride.
- Dietrich.
Come on, man.
It's been It's been a day, okay? I don't remember asking.
Today, Stone.
Come on.
We're gonna go meet Smiley, clear the air between us.
