Previously on Game of Silence...

Good morning.

Diana is CEO of Stockman Ventures.

Marina: We're trying to make an impression.

This could be huge business.

I wasn't the first pregnant employee she's fired, you know?

There's a pattern here.

Gil: What the hell is all this?

Jackson: New Quitman.

The private prison industry at work.

They can contract these kids out to whoever they want.

Bausch Nursery.

As in Terry Bausch, Quitman Terry?

Hi, Mr. Carroll. I'm Jessie.

What the hell are you doing at a Ray Carroll fund-raiser?

I'm volunteering at his campaign.

I want to help.

Saw this guy handing Carroll an envelope.


This guy's working for Terry, playing courier between him and the warden.

This is the guy that shanked Boots.

Has to be.

Winters: Dooley's case is already with the DA.

I can't make it go away.

Your brother's still doing time in Huntsville.

You don't do for me, and I don't do for him.

I want Dooley out of lockup.

Hey.

I just kind of needed to talk.

Me, too.

It ain't right.

You shouldn't have to sell this place.

Yeah, well, I don't have a choice, Shawn.

Boots didn't have life insurance.

We could barely keep up with the payments in the first place.

I can't do it on my own.

Annie, this is where you belong, okay?

Wasn't but a month ago, Boots was talking about blowing that back wall out for a second bedroom.

He had big plans for this place.

Yeah, well, I had plans, too.

None of which included being a widow at age 36.

Shh...

(baby fusses)

It's okay. Come here, come here.

Shh...

Come on!

Idiots.

Hey, the, uh, peacock chairs are up for grabs, too.

What are you not getting rid of?

She's letting me keep the cow rug.

Oh, at least she's got some taste.

Yeah.

Shawn: What happens when you break up and your broke ass is left sleeping on the floor?

That's not gonna happen, 'cause, uh... we're getting married.

I asked her last night.

Whoa, whoa, h-hold... You did what?

Guys, when you know, you know.

You do understand this is it.

I mean, from here on out, you're done, man.

Listen, uh, Annie's cool, uh, but it's not about her.

Why are you gonna chain yourself to one vag*na for the rest of your life?

'Cause I'm tired of running around.

I'm ready.

Look, I-I want kids and a family, and I want it with her.

All right, if you're happy, we're happy. It's just...

What?!

We didn't think we were gonna lose you first.

Guys, hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Oh...

Hey, I'm not dying.

What? I'm just getting married. Come on!

All right, if you insist on ruining your life, then I'm gonna make sure you go out swinging.

Okay.

I'm taking point on the bachelor party.

All right.

Okay.

To the future Mrs. Gary Nolan.

God help her.

(chuckling)

So are you gonna talk about this?

It's pretty simple, I don't want you working for Ray Carroll.

It's too dangerous.

I'm one of 32 volunteers at that office.

Besides, he has no idea who I am.

Not yet, he doesn't.

What happens when he figures it out though? He won't.

I know what I'm doing.

You have to trust me.

Shawn and Jackson don't seem to have a problem with it.

You don't come home to them, you come home to me.

I'm sorry, but I don't plan on quitting.

If you loved me, you would.

(phone ringing)

What is it, Mom?

Ye...

No, just stay there.

Yeah, I'm on my way.

Classic.

What's going on?

Alice Ann is at a bar.

Well, it's after 8:00.

At a bar in Houston.

Hey, Jessie, this conversation isn't over.

I know.

(door slams shut)

Obviously the warehouses are connected to Quitman, 'cause they're using inmate labor.

The question is: what were Terry's trucks doing there?

Well, maybe he's running dr*gs into the prison, bigger version of 25 years ago.

Jackson: Yeah, maybe. We need to divvy this up.

I'm gonna look into New Quitman. You guys stake out Bausch Nursery.

Y'all missing the headline here.

This... is what we need to be focused on.

This dude k*lled our brother Boots, and we know he's out now.

Finding him should be first up, period.

How?

I know people.

I got my ways.

Jackson: All right, you find him... then what, Shawnie?

Now we don't need another Bobby Marks on our hands.

I ain't about k*lling nobody.

Not personally.

But there's a whole lot of ways a man can wind up dead.

You feel me?

All right, Shawnie.

I know you want him to pay, we all do, but the best way to get justice for Boots is to nail Terry.

Now, we take him down, they all fall!

Jackie, why are you...

We do this wrong, we're in prison.

You're the one calling for a stakeout.

I did, but that is observation only.

And I mean it.

All right? Whatever this is, whatever you're feeling, I don't want you to...

I heard you.

Observation.

Jackson: All right.

Mom.

What's going on?

Me and Billy are on the outs.

Which one's Billy again?

Caught him with the neighbor.

Says he's in love.

We got into it; it got ugly.

Did he touch you?

Not this time.

I ain't goin' back, no matter how much he begs.

So what's your plan?

Thought I'd crash with my girl Ellen.

Okay, so then why'd you call me?

She ain't answering the door.

Probably got a job or something.

Hey, you know what's happening here, right?

It's not a stakeout, it's a time-out.

Jackie's got you on a stool in the corner with me.

He's just looking out for us. That's what he does.

Gil: Screw this. I say we bail and go find a bar, get hammer...

Hold on.

Does that look like the same bike to you?

Could be.

Hey-hey, whoa- whoa-whoa-whoa.

What happened to "observation only"?

Okay, who here has a client doing time in Quitman?

Christina, can I see you in my office, please?

Sure.

Man: He used to come in all the time.

Dooley. Don't know his first name.

Has he come around the club lately?

Not since he got thrown into county a few months ago.

I got a buddy doing time for possession.

Told me the crazy bastard shanked some guy inside.

Who'd he k*ll?

No idea.

Supposedly Terry Bausch ordered the hit.

We know this guy Dooley is out.

I need to know where to find him.

Good luck.

Galvan's looking for him, too.

Galvan Robles? Used to run with the 7-7's?

He's top dog now.

Dooley wasn't out 24 hours before he took out one of Galvan's stash houses and three of his boys.

So he's laying low.

Wouldn't you?

Not after three months of lockup.

Oh, about nine.

I actually enjoy this.

Well, and you, little lady, I have plans for you.

We have another fund-raiser tonight.

Ton of money in the room. Some big game.

What's on your schedule for today?

Uh, just a few hundred more envelopes and a couple hours at the phone bank.

Not anymore. You're coming with me.

(quietly): Go.

Bye.

Jackson Brooks to see Nate Whitehead.

I'm his lawyer.

(clears his throat)

Thank you.

Nate Whitehead, please?

Guard: Open visitor admit!

(lock buzzes, latch clicks)

(door opens, closes)

I want to hear about the work details.

What kind of things do they make you do?

Well, we had to help clean up the oil spill last year.

Which sucked.

Sometimes we cut weeds on the highway.

What about the, uh, the warehouses behind Quitman?

What do you do there?

What does this have to do with my case?

Okay, Nate, if there's anything illegal happening in those warehouses, Christina and I might be able to use that to get you out of here.

We just unload boxes.

Shirts and shoes.

Junk like that.

What about the Bausch Nursery trucks?

I don't work on those.

Why not?

The trustees handle them.

And why are the trustees allowed to touch them and not you?

I don't know! Ask the guards.

All right, I want you to listen to me.

That nursery's owned by a drug dealer.

And we suspect that those warehouses are tied to his business, but what I can't do with a suspicion is take it to the police and use that as probable cause to look into those shipments.

So I need something specific.

Something you've actually seen.

I don't want to get in trouble.

You don't know what it's like in here.

Actually, Nate, I do.

You don't have to be afraid.

Everything you tell me is confidential.

It's all attorney/client privilege and no one will ever know, okay?

(sighs)

There was this one time.

The train came in and they were moving the bags, and... and one got dropped.

It spilled and the stuff that came out, it, it wasn't fertilizer.

It was bricks wrapped up like... like cocaine.

How often do these shipments come in?

Twice a week.

Mondays and Wednesdays.

Wednesdays as in today?

Yeah.

Usually late afternoon.

Marina: So, I was in Dallas yesterday interviewing our field office manager.

You worked with Kurt Hayley, correct?

Oh, no, we're not here to answer more questions.

You said you wanted to talk settlement.

So, is there an offer or not?

Yes.

We're offering not to pursue our defense if you drop your case.

We drove all the way over here for this?

We know about David Such, Ms. Holden.

Who?

Married father of four.

Deacon in his church.

Resident of Plano, Texas.

Your client is having an affair with him.

You bitch.

Tammy, don't say anything.

Even if it's true, it's absolutely irrelevant to the claims in this case.

Not true.

We have eight instances so far where your client claims she was at work, when she was apparently with Mr. Such.

If she lied about her whereabouts, we're entitled to explore that by taking Mr. Such's deposition.

Or you can drop the case.

We will sign this release form, keeping it all confidential.

No one will ever have to know.

Gil: I'll tell you what, she better be charging a premium for all that effort she's putting in.

It's got to be Dooley's, right?

I mean, unless she's turnin' tricks with Bigfoot, I'd say it's a lock.

(knocking)

(door opens)

(chuckles)

We got him.

(door closes)

(exhales) Still got the g*n in the truck?

You sure you want to know?

G... the guy in that house k*lled Boots.

Well, what is it?

You telling me you want to do something here, with Stripper-gram still inside?

(sighs)

All right, you know what? We wait.

Hang back until she leaves.

(phone rings)

(phone beeps on)

What's up, Jackie?

We were right. It's all connected.

The warehouses, prison labor, Terry.

That's how he gets his coke into the country.

How-how do you know?

I talked to a kid inside. He saw it for himself.

He brings it in by train in fertilizer bags, and there is a huge shipment coming in today.

I had to go ten rounds with the DEA, but I got 'em on board.

They're fast-tracking a move as we speak.

I'm on my way now to be there when it happens.

Slow down. When what happens?

The DEA's raiding the warehouse.

When that shipment comes in, we have Terry dead to rights.

This is huge. We're about to put Terry away.

This is everything we've been working towards.

Not-not everything.

We found Dooley.

Who?

The redheaded prick who shanked Boots.

We got eyes on him right now.

Well done. But, no, you have to stand down.

Why? For... What for?

We can't risk him seeing you.

It might alert Terry that he's being watched.

Shawn: Jackie, it took some doing to find this guy, man.

We might lose him again.

Doesn't matter, Shawnie.

Not when we're this close to blindsiding Terry.

So we're supposed to just let him walk?

No one's walking.

When Terry falls, Dooley goes with him.

We just have to sit back and watch it happen.

It's out of our hands now.

Congrats, boys. That's one down.

All right, copy that.

All right, I'm gonna call you when the dust settles. See you later.

Hey, listen.

Whatever you want to do, just know I'm with you.

Let's get out of here.

Hey, so, where's Jessie?

Said she was going to work, last I saw her.

Oh, yeah?

I just stopped by the cafe.

They said they hadn't seen her all day.

Maybe she's running out on your ass.

Ray: Hopper's playing hard to get.

He agrees with me on policy, but he's stalling.

He's always slow to write a check.

That's why we're bringing Jessie here.

Well, I was wondering where all those donations I've been raising go.

You didn't tell me you were gonna be in Austin with Ray Carroll, alone!

Because I didn't know!

Did we? Because I just remember you telling me what I can and can't do.

But you can't tell me everything that happened and then not let me help you. It's not fair.

You think this is helping?

So wh-why are you pushing me away?

I love you, Jessie, but you have no idea what I'm going through.

How can you even say that?

I have stood by you through all of this.

You seriously don't think I understand what you're going through?

If you understood, then you would stop.

'Cause that's what I need.

To not worry about what he might do to you.

If you don't get that, then you don't understand me at all.

Right.

Because I never, ever have to worry about you.

What is that?

It's nothing.

Gil!

I don't want to talk to you!

(turns off engine)

(exhales)

Boots: That was a hell of a party.

(Boots chuckles)

Yeah, well, you know me. It's what I do.

You know I've got to ask, right?

Oh, man. It was just a little Molly, all right?

Nothin' to worry about.

Well, it started off at Quitman as nothing, too.

Quitman was Quitman.

That was about surviving.

I ain't hurting nobody out here.

Just doing a little something to get by.

Maybe... maybe it's time to start thinking about more than just getting by.

What, like you do?

Settle for taking whatever crap jobs just 'cause they're hiring?

Settle for some girl just 'cause she's there?

Um, I didn't... I didn't mean that. All right?

Look, I'm not saying that my way's the only way.

But I love Annie.

I'm lucky to have her.

At some point, I just want you to have something that you can come home to.

Something that stops you from going to that place.

What place?

The place where you think that you got nothing to lose.

You want to go back to jail?

Come on, Boots. Man, you know me.

You know me better than that. I... never stepped into something I can't handle.

You're getting damn close.

This comes easy to me, all right?

That's just an excuse.

You're not a drug dealer, Shawnie.

Look at me.

Cut it out.

(alarm beeps, lock clicks)

Hey.

Hey.

(door closes)

So, listen, I've been thinkin'.

I want to help out.

What?

I know Boots would've wanted you to be happy and safe, so... (exhales)

I'm helping out.

Don't know exactly how yet but... you don't have to sell.

This is your home.

Marina: Nothing more that you want to add to that?

Jackson: I am telling you everything.

I was 14 when we were sentenced.

We each got nine months, we did our time, and then we got out. That is it.

All right? What-what else do you want to know?

Why didn't you ever tell me?

Because it was 25 years ago. That... Because that has nothing to do with who I am today!

Well, how would I know?!

Do you know how stupid I felt hearing this for the first time from a complete stranger?

Screw Alice Ann.

She's just a drunk!

Who knows more about you than I do!

Why don't we just add her to the list, huh?

Marina...

No, I mean it. When we were in Brennan, everybody knew except me, right?

"Poor Marina. But we can't tell her the truth, because she's not one of us."

Well, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I don't walk around just telling people about...

I am not people!

I am gonna be your wife, for God's sake!

So what else are you keeping from me?!

Nothing.

Yeah?

10:17, two nights ago.

I was at the office, and you said that you turned in early.

So why didn't you tell me that she came here?

She just... she wanted to talk.

About what?

About... nothing.

About... stupid childhood stuff. It's-it's...

This is... not a big deal.

You need to get out.

Wh-What?

I am done with the fighting!

I am done with this lying!

Okay, Marina, don't...

I deserve the truth, and until you can give that to me, we can't be together.

M-Marina...

Just get out!
