Previously on Big Sky
What I need from you
is a larger finder's fee.
I don't renegotiate.
- A deal's a deal.
- Track him down.
It's Avery. I-I think something
terrible might've happened.
I think Avery is making
a play for the money
that Luke and Paige stole.
So, what's so important
about that bag of yours?
There's something in it I need.
Help me get it back
and I'll help you get Walter out.
- Where is she?
- I don't know.
If he can't find Paige,
we are all in big trouble.
I don't know why
you thought it was a good idea
to stick around.
What the hell?
Mom.
What happened?
I messed up. Bad.
And I need your help.
Help. After what you did?
Where's the 30 grand you stole from me?
Jenny, you gotta believe me.
We gotta get out of here now.
Where's the 30 grand
that you stole from me?
If I tell you, will you listen to me?
It's gone.
I hired some local to launder it
so I could fix a problem,
but I messed up.
I grifted the wrong guy,
and his family is crazy.
And if we don't get
outta here right now,
we're both gonna be
in a world of trouble.
Let me see your hands.
Show me.
What are you doing?!
- Ow!
- You'll be safer in jail.
Please! Jenny, please,
you gotta believe me.
I'm not lying to you
I can't do this with you anymore, Mom!
I don't know what mess
you got yourself into,
but maybe jail
and a court-appointed lawyer
can help sort it out.
Jenny
Oh, God. Oh, God, th-they're here.
- Jenny, please, get your gun!
- Cut Cut the drama.
I'm not lying! Please!
Help me.
Bad guys don't knock.
No, wai
- Oh, my God. I just
- Jenny?
Jenny!
Yeah, that's her. Let's go.
Get her up!
- Come on, now!
- No!
Grab this camera here.
You're coming with us.
Would you please put that thing down?
I'm not going anywhere.
I'd rather not.
Any sign of Paige?
No. I looked everywhere.
My socks are wet.
I got stinging nettles.
- What kind of game is this?
- Game?
Guys, Paige came to me asking for help.
Why would I haul your asses up
here to meet her if that wasn't true?
Well, then she's playing both of us.
Either that or somebody else took her.
Who else has access to this camp?
There you go.
You want some pie?
I'm good.
So what can I do for you, Cassie?
I wanted to talk to Sunny and you
Well, we're talking right now.
And you have refused Sunny's pie,
which makes me
think you've got something
"problematic" on your mind.
So just spit it out,
'cause the night's killed the day,
and I got a lot of stuff to do.
At this hour?
Idle hands.
I, uh
try to stay away from 'em.
You know, we have this man,
Walter, in custody.
Yeah, the loner that you think
did the Bleeding Heart Murder.
Wh-Where did they
catch that animal? Huh?
Oh, Buck, drop the act.
Sunny is Walter's birth mother.
And you lied about the truck.
So I'm questioning
a lot of things right now.
Yeah.
Well, seems like
you have all the answers,
so good for you.
You knew all this time?
Walter had help.
Are Are you saying Sunny
helped him kill people?
She or you helped him evade
capture all these years.
No, he was a cancer in our family,
and I couldn't make her see
what a danger he was.
So what was I supposed to do, Cassie?
Excuse me.
Hey, Jenny. What's up?
Hold up. You okay?
Okay. St-Stay put.
I'll be right there.
Now, what did you go and do?
Hey, what are you doing?
I can't sleep.
Come join me. I could use the company.
Here.
Thanks.
You know, Avery's not a bad person.
Well, he's not a good one, Em.
He's trying to steal $15 million.
That money may have got someone killed.
He's put you and he's put
your mom in danger.
And I'm sitting here
trying to rack my brain
what she sees in that guy.
Sorry, I shouldn't say that to you.
You know, maybe it's not
about money for him.
Avery's a rich guy.
He probably wants to stay that way.
Yeah, 'cause he thinks that,
without it, he might lose her.
Why don't we talk about something else?
Okay.
- Any topic?
- Let's dive deep.
Take your best shot.
What happened in Houston
with your partner?
You know what happened.
Yeah, I know what "happened,"
but, like, not from you.
You never talked about it.
There's not much to know.
Not much to talk about.
Okay.
Come on, Em, where you going?
Mom never needed you to be perfect.
You know?
She just wanted you to let her in more.
Jenny, I'm I'm so sorry.
Yeah, she showed up at the house.
Someone roughed her up.
Did she say who?
Something about grifting the wrong guy.
Sorry. Uh, is this yours or your mom's?
Have you ever seen me with a purse?
Right.
Jenny, we gotta get you to the hospital.
She said that they were after her.
I just didn't believe her.
I need to find her.
Figure out who these people are
- Jenny.
- No, no, no, no, no!
No, no, no!
Alright. You're not
going anywhere right now.
We got you.
We found the motel's
key on Gigi's purse.
It was to an old dive
out in Great Falls.
The room was paid in full
by a Gilbert Leeds.
Rap sheet's pretty long.
Mostly petty crimes.
But I'm guessing that's
Gigi's accomplice in the grift.
A security cam caught
a truck speeding off
at the time of the attack.
No plates, but
we got horns.
- Please don't be from Texas.
- Mm.
We get anything else?
What? You're not supposed to be here.
What, did you bust out of the hospital?
And did you hurt anyone doing it?
Hey.
Thanks for being here.
Try and stop me.
But you should be home, resting.
Well, I can't just sit around
while my mom's missing.
What do we got?
This is who she was working with,
and as you can see by
the state of the motel,
she fought like hell to escape.
She's a fighter.
Yeah, this is Arlen.
Okay. Yeah, copy that.
Uh, patrol officer has spotted Avery.
Go.
Yeah, we got this.
- Okay, call me later.
- Yeah.
Any idea how we can find them?
I know where to start. Let's go.
Yeah.
I'm sorry about all this mess.
I never meant to hurt you.
I mean it.
Yeah, that's what you say.
Mmm, there you are, old friend.
Today's your lucky day,
and I'll tell you why.
This is the first drink
I've had in 20 years.
And I don't feel like drinking alone.
Aah!
Don't bother screaming.
Nobody can hear you.
Please, just let me go.
Everyone already thinks I'm dead.
Mm.
Sunny doesn't.
God bless her.
She's kept me on the straight
and narrow all these years.
If she could see me now
there would be hell to pay,
lemme tell ya.
I'll disappear. Get out of the country.
Walter stays in jail.
You are a sharp girl.
But then, you know what happens
to sharp girls.
They meet sharp ends.
No.
No, no.
- Mmm.
- Buck, please, no, please.
Please, no, please!
Buck, please, no!
No, please, no
Smells good.
Message from my boss
he doesn't renegotiate.
Avery.
Who's your friend?
His friend is none of your concern.
Well, actually, it is,
seeing as I'm the sheriff and all.
Huh.
I never shot a sheriff before.
Well, we're not gonna
do that, gunslinger.
Beau, please,
just turn around, walk away.
I'm handling it.
I'm handling things, alright?
No, Avery, I think you're pretty
much done handling things.
But you know what, big fella?
It's your lucky day.
You can have him.
I'll catch you later.
Put your hands on your head.
Put your hands on your head.
Don't give me a reason
to make my life any easier.
Avery hasn't been to his house.
His wife and Emily
are staying with Beau.
Where is he?
If he's staying at a hotel,
he's using a fake name
because I checked 'em all.
We have to find him.
I'm not gonna let Avery or anyone else
get away with that money.
It is ours, Donno.
What would you do with it?
The $15 million.
I'd scale up the real-estate business.
Own this town.
Maybe start a diner franchise.
What about you?
I saw a documentary on fox hunting once.
I'd like to breed foxes.
Open a fox farm, select the mean ones,
breed them with the other mean ones,
and then the mean ones
with the smart ones.
- What for?
- Super foxes.
Fish-and-chipper comes around
the corner with his hounds,
finds 50 super foxes waiting for him.
I see you've thought this out.
My favorite movie
"The Fox and the Hound"
Tod and Copper just wanted
to be friends. But the world just
And they had to hide their feelings.
It's a good one.
Tonya.
Sign says we're closed.
I know you laundered money for Gigi.
She said, "We're closed."
30 grand she stole.
She said she used a local.
It had to be you.
Don't know what you're talking about.
Gigi was taken by some
very dangerous people.
- It happens.
- Not us.
Okay, cut the BS.
I just I need your help.
Tonya, this isn't about you.
Just tell us who you
delivered the money to.
Please.
She's my mother.
It's not a who, it's a where.
Left it at a drop box
on an empty parcel of land.
I need an address.
Of course.
Where you headed?
Out on an errand. Where you been?
Out.
All night? Not answering your phone?
I found Paige.
Where?
Well, it doesn't matter now.
I had her stashed safe and sound
out at the camp,
but when I went back, she was gone.
Hmm.
I need you to help me go find her.
Yeah, I'm I'm not gonna do that.
What the hell's gotten into you?
This is the last time
I'm gonna say this, Sunny.
Leave the Paige business alone.
No good's gonna come from that.
Hell, Cassie Dewell's already
been out here askin' questions.
About what?
She knows Walter's your son.
That's right.
You better start thinking
about how that's gonna blow back on you.
I'm gonna do what's right by my son.
Something wrong?
You been drinking.
- No.
- I can smell it on you.
- No, I haven't.
- Don't you lie to me.
I'll tell you what
I'm gonna go to the hardware store.
I'm gonna come back,
we'll fix a pot of coffee,
and you and I are gonna have
a real long conversation.
Alright?
How about now?
I got something I need to take care of.
Okay. Not what I was expecting.
Me neither.
What were you looking for?
Not Grandma's house.
Okay. So, the parcel that
Donno said that he dropped the money
is registered to an Anne Whitlow.
Late 60s, four sons and several
grandkids living with her.
As for the address that you are now
Yep. It is registered
to the same Anne Whitlow.
Big property, though.
Not just a cute cottage.
And it has several outbuildings
on the east side.
Let's check it out.
Hey, there.
Hello?
I'm Deputy Hoyt from
the Sheriff's Department.
You must be Anne Whitlow.
Oh, call me Ma.
- Everyone does.
- Anybody else home?
Just me and, uh, Buster.
Best companion in the world.
What about the young girl?
Oh, that must've been Fanny.
She lost her mother young.
She's a wildling, that one.
Do you know who Gigi Cessna is?
No. Should I?
She stole some money
that ended up in a drop box
on a plot of land that belongs to you.
I don't know what plot
you're talking about.
I got two full sections,
and nobody ever dropped money.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Thank you for your time.
Oh, yeah.
- Do you believe her?
- Not a word.
Let's split up and take a look around.
I'll hide your truck.
Okay.
Start talking.
Well, I'm afraid
there's not much I can say.
Why don't we start with the guy
who was just trying to kill me, hmm?
Who was that?
Am I being charged with something?
You know, I found those
journal pages that you stole.
Guess you're trying to get your hands
on that $15 million.
- Or maybe you already have it.
- I'm sorry.
Did someone report that money stolen?
Because As far as I can make out,
that is what is known
as a victimless crime.
What's your plan, man?
Hmm?
New identity?
Thailand?
Or maybe you're not into
the whole heat thing.
Winnipeg?
You see, these people,
they don't forgive,
and they don't forget.
And the ones that steal from them
rarely die alone,
which means you have put Carla
and you have put
my daughter into danger.
Did you even think about that?
Everything I've done
has been to protect my family.
That's all you need to know.
You, on the other hand,
you've made quite the tidy mess,
haven't you?
Killing that man
put us all in more danger.
And now I'd very much like
to speak to my lawyer.
I've heard enough.
We're gonna have some fun now, huh?
Please.
We'll give you back everything we took.
I promise.
My brother's dead because of you two.
We didn't kill your brother!
Maybe what we need are purer minds.
Let the young ones decide
what to do with you two, hmm?
Does this man deserve our mercy
or our wrath?
No, please!
Don't move, or I'll shoot you.
Jenny
I got this, Mom.
Your choice
Put the popper on the ground,
or I feed what's left of you
to the pigs.
I'm so sorry, Jenny.
Shut up!
Ain't no one here
starvin' for platitudes.
Put the gun on the ground.
Now!
There you go.
You know, maybe now that we got
the next generation here,
we don't need the OG model after all.
I like the look of her way better.
Is that right, Troy?
Mama, I Pretty sure I taught you
to respect your elders and women.
Robbie's dead because of her!
You raise your voice again to me,
and I'll take your damn hand!
Bring her to me!
You don't want to do this. Please.
Your mother cheated my boy Robbie.
Fanny's daddy.
He put a shotgun under his chin
and left this world
because of what your mama
and that man did.
And then
they tried to pay
for his life with money.
Now, what are we gonna do, children?
Ohh. Joshua.
This lady
hurt our family.
What do you think we should do with her?
Bullets? Pigpen?
The pit?
Well, how 'bout that!
Joshua calls for a game.
- What the hell is this?
- You heard me.
A game for all the stakes in the world.
Your mother loses
she dies.
At least she got a chance,
which is more than I can say for my son.
Come on, get up!
Let's play, or we'll just shoot her!
Okay. Okay. Hey. Hey.
I'll play in her place. Please.
Hmm!
You're gonna play, and you
don't even know what it is.
Well! That's twice the fun.
You can play against each other.
Wha
Shackle 'em.
- Come on.
- Go on with it.
Oh, my God.
Do it!
Troy, there was another woman
with her. Go find her.
Oh, and, uh take Fanny.
She's the best tracker.

God!
You almost had me there, sweetheart.
Come on.
Unh!
You should've listened to me.
Let's just focus on
how to get out of here.
My late son Robbie loved this game.
Played for hours.
Rules are you get a sack
on the box, that's one point.
You get one in the hole,
that's three points.
No other rules. One round only.
Four tosses each. Take turns.
I'm sorry, Jenny. I never meant
for any of this to happen.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
How?
Age before beauty.
Looks like you've got some fans.
Everybody loves an underdog. You're up.
If you ruin Joshua's game
by not trying on your next toss,
your mama goes to the pigs.
And she goes alive.
That's 1-0, for mama.
You gotta try, Jenny.
Only one of us is
getting out of here alive.
Whatever happens, Jenny
Forgive me.
You will never change.
You want me to try?
Fine.
I'll try.
Three points. 3-2.
Daughter takes the lead.
We got ourselves a game here.
No. Uh, she's cheating.
- Fat chance!
- No. She is.
She's trying to lose on purpose.
My daughter, everyone.
She's a bad loser.
What are you doing?
And a bad winner.
I don't think so. She barely missed.
Two can play at that game.
Last warning, girl!
Cal, Stephen
please aim your weapons at our players.
Someone's about to lose.
What the hell is your problem?!
Did that lady kill my daddy?
Might as well have.
So she didn't?
Go bug someone else. I'm on a hunt.
The lady didn't come this way.
Can't you tell?
The grass would be bent over
Shut. Up.
Just 'cause Ma tolerates your feral ass
doesn't mean the rest of us have to,
now that your daddy's dead.
Guess I won't tell you then.
Tell me what?
Thank you.
Can you tell me where my friend is?
She's in trouble.
Can you take me to her?
Don't think of me too harshly, Jenny.
I did a lot of bad things in my life.
But I never stopped loving you.
Mom, please. Please don't do this.
Never.
Don't do this.
Stop! Let 'em go, both of 'em.
- But, Mama
- Fanny chooses mercy.
And Robbie was her daddy. You heard me!
Tell them to walk up the stairs.
Have them ladies walk up the stairs.
They're free to go.
You can't just let 'em go!
Don't you argue with me!
I said let them go!
Now, dammit!
Hold still.
Let's go.
Come on.
Go.
They're safe. Move in.
- Police!
- Hands up!
Hands in the air! I'll tell you
when to put those down.
Don't move!
It's alright, children.
- Let's go.
- Right this way. Let's go.
It's okay.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Thank you.
I'm really thankful for you helping us.
Yeah.
What's going on, huh?
I got a bad feeling about all this.
It's like in Houston with Randy.
No. You can't go there.
It's too late. 'Cause it feels the same.
Like something is is comin',
and I'm powerless to stop it.
Randy's death was not your fault.
We both know that's not true.
He was my partner, and I let him down.
And then then I wasn't there for you
and I wasn't there for Emily.
I don't blame you for leaving me.
Well, you are here for us now.
That don't make up
for the way I checked out.
I forgive you for all of that, okay?
And I'm telling you,
this thing with Avery
this isn't over by a long shot.
I'm not saying that to scare you.
- You understand that?
- Okay. Yeah.
But I need you to know this.
Okay.
I'm not gonna let
anything happen to you two.
I know.
God.
I'll always love you.
How did you find him?
Luck and skill.
- Now for the fun part.
- Hm.
Progressive amputation.
Un-gag him.
People will know.
They will know very quickly
that I'm gone,
and you will both go to jail.
Or the story is that you tried
to steal $15 million
from some very bad people and
you were never heard from again.
I have the $15 million.
That's a nice try.
- Only Paige knew the code.
- She's an amateur!
Once I had the pages,
I was able to brute-force it.
Right hand or Hear me out
left hand?
You know what, Donno?
Let's hear what he has to say.
The money's in a secure account.
If anything happens to me,
if you kill me,
no one gets a bloody thing!
Mouthy.
Okay. What do you want?
I made a move against your
bosses that went very badly.
And I need protection.
Eight- or four-pound sledge?
Now, both of them have their advantages.
Donno.
We're listening now.
I have a plan that could be
very mutually beneficial.
Mm. And how would that work?
I give you a much larger slice
of the pie
and you keep me safe.
Good job with your statement, Mom.
It's gonna help me make a solid case.
Anything to see those lunatic
murderers get what they deserve.
Now I understand how
putting bad guys in jail
has some appeal.
Good.
Then you'll understand why
I can't just let you walk away.
You would really put me in jail
after everything we just went through?
What we went through was because of you.
But it did mean something to me, Mom.
Let's just call it a start.
We don't get to cherry-pick
the rule of law. Sorry.
Come with me, Ms. Cessna.
Wait. Wait, wait.
What the hell else is there to say?
Sometimes you really
disappoint me, Jenny Bear.
Right back at ya.
And I love you, too.

Was wondering if you'd show.
No Cassie Dewell. Just your mama.

Oh, that's the way it's gonna be, huh?
You choose Cassie Dewell
over your own family?
Yeah, I am.
You're the one who made the choice

At home, we have a machine.
I just push a button.
Mm, okay, well, there's
a place down the street

- Mm-mmm!
- Ew! No!
- Mmm.
- Pumpkin, fine. Nutmeg, no.
Oh, okay. Well, here
