[MAN ON RADIO]
That was Styx with "Renegade,"

wrapping up another -minute,
commercial-free rock block here at . .

And oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life
from this long arm of the storm system

we got coming this week.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

Batten down the hatches,
Lake of the Ozark.

It's about to get wet and wild.

I'm Townson Wells.
Keep it locked on the Hollow.

[TURNS OFF RADIO]
Well, I'm throwing a party

on top of a f*cking boat, Townson Wells.

[EXHALES, CHUCKLES]

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

[WENDY] Go ahead and rain.

You dumb bitch.

Hi. I need to check myself in.

I am not feeling well.

[WOMAN] Fill these out.

Uh…

Oh, God. Is there...
Is there any way we can expedite this?

Can... can I talk to a doctor?

Here. Here's my... here's my
insurance card and my driver's license.

John, will you please?

[WOMAN SIGHS]

[JOHN] In your own words, describe
your current situation, as you see it.

My current situation, as I see it,
is I am not well mentally.

Look, there's a substantial history
in my family.

[CHUCKLES] My brother...
My brother was here.

He was committed.

To your knowledge, have you ever received
a diagnosis for a psychological problem?

Are you just gonna read from that form?
Here, just…

[SIGHS] Just... j-just take this.

Take this. I will pay double. Just...
Just let me in for... for one night.

Had thoughts of harming yourself?

I'm having thoughts of harming you,
John.

I'm having thoughts of harming you
and... and the first girl over there.

We have beds here and patients.

Here's a list of therapists in the area.

What? Hey! Hey!

Hey. John! John!

Hey, what are you doing?

What's going on? Kenny, what's going on?

Sorry, Mr. Byrde.
They have the paperwork.

"They have the paperwork"?
What paperwork?

[TYPING]

What's going on?

Oh, I figured the best way was quick,
like a Band-Aid.

This is a hostile takeover.

But for the record,
we prefer to keep things civil.

Ain't that right, Rachel?

Yep. Hey, Marty.

How?

[INHALES] When Darlene

and, uh… [CLEARS THROAT]

…Wyatt passed on,

I became the sole inheritor of all
Darlene Snell's estates and holdings.

And Charles Wilkes was eager
to sell to you was how I read that.

- [RUTH] Yep.
- [RACHEL] He doesn't like you.

Whose name is on the license?

Mine.

I got my record expunged.

- Oh, yeah?
- [RUTH] Mm-hmm.

Good for you. Look at that.

[INHALES]

The controlling interest of this casino
needs to belong to me

so that it can belong
to the Navarro cartel.

Unless you're trying to get me k*lled
or yourselves.

[LAUGHS] Oh, please.

They ain't gonna k*ll you
if they ain't done it by now.

I do figure they'll blame you, though.

[RACHEL] Does seem like you should've
seen this coming after Darlene passed.

All those shares
just floating around for the taking.

'Course, it's none of my business.

This casino is part of
a much bigger operation,

and you know that, Ruth.

Not anymore it ain't.

Look, you're still a partner.

You got ideas about the cocktail menu,
and I'll hear you out.

But the controlling
interest here is mine.

So you need to find
another way to launder your money.

Having a good time?
This is dangerous. Not a good idea.

[RUTH] Good. Uh, they're taking your
sh*t to the storage closet upstairs.

[WENDY] Of course she did.
I mean, what else can we do today?

Oh, I know. Oh, I know.

Maybe I'll be impaled by a tree,
and I can lose an eye,

and then I can be childless and hunted
by a f*cking Mexican drug cartel.

And I don't know. Oh, what the f*ck.

I can wear a...
A patch like a f*cking pirate.

[HESITATES] Are you all right, Wendy?
Are you, um…

What, are... are you headed to the jail?

Oh, sh*t. sh*t!

No, I-I… [SIGHS]

I'm working on something for the gala.
You're gonna have to do that alone.

But you are okay?

Yeah, I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm just...
I'm wrapped up in something.

Uh, it's just, you know,

remember we talked
about me helping you to the finish line?

This is me helping you.

I think that you should take it easy for
the next few hours. What do you think?

I'm easy. I'm very easy.

Okay, uh,
I will iron things out with Navarro.

Good, good. You iron. I'll iron.

- We'll both be ironing.
- [PHONE BEEPS]

- Wendy, uh...
- [LINE BEEPS]

Wendy.

[PHONE BEEPS]

[OMAR] My lieutenants have not received
their gratitude fees. Why is that?

[MARTY] Yeah, I've been dealing with a...
A family emergency. My father-in-law...

An emergency
that's more urgent than mine, huh?

Omar.

Is everything all right?

[MARTY] Uh, yeah, thank you.

Uh, just my... my father-in-law
is trying to get our kids

to move with him to North Carolina.

Why would he do that?

Yeah, he's got...
He's got an axe to grind with my wife.

He... he thinks that
the kids aren't safe.

You think they're safe?

[MARTY] You know.

I don't know.

- I'm sorry to hear you're going through...
- Yes, we are all sorry.

Marty,
I have become officially impatient.

Yeah, all right.

Uh, I think our best bet is
to use the horse farm and the Big Muddy

so that we can get this done
as quick as we can.

You will use the Missouri Belle.

Why do I feel like
I am repeating myself with you?

Marty, there's going to be a lot of heat
when my name gets taken off the SDN list,

so your bookkeeping needs to be perfect.

Sure, um…

Perfect money.

That's not gonna be a problem, huh?

Marty, please tell me
you're not too distracted

that that's gonna be a problem.

No, it won't be.

[LINE RINGING]

[JIM] You're gonna
wanna divorce your husband.

What?

You're gonna wanna
divorce your husband and marry me.

I got Mary Schuler.

CFO of AFL-CIO Mary Schuler?

Are... are you joking?

[CHUCKLES] No, I am not.

And Richard Kaiser's PAC
had to cancel their silent auction

because they were getting
too many "regretfully declines."

[LAUGHS] That is unbelievable.

Yes, actually unbelievable.

God, if we can pull this off,
meet this fiscal goal,

get this particular group of people
to coalesce, at that point, game over.

You own the Midwest.

When we pull it off.

God, you're a beast.
I'll be there in a bit.

[PHONE BEEPS]

[METAL JANGLES]

[TOILET FLUSHING]

[JONAH] Don't do that.

Oh, Daddy!

- Get in here.
- [WENDY] What?

You just don't quit.

You humiliate yourself
on the courthouse steps like a child.

That didn't humiliate me.
It humiliated you.

Fine. Take your drug money and go.

There's over $ million in that bag.

That's a lot of goodwill.

- It's a lot of tithing.
- You are disgusting.

Okay, well, we've established what
you've thought of me a long time ago.

Now I want you…

to consider this money.

Hmm?

Uh-uh!

[RATTLES]

[CLICKS TONGUE, GASPS] Hello.

[CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES]

You sure you wanna raise two teenagers?

[EXHALES] I really do.

Look, you're exhausted. You should be.

You fought hard. You won.

Just take the money.

There's only one road out of town.

All you gotta do
is get on it and drive away.

Two million dollars.
It's a game changer.

It's a life changer.

You're right.
Two million dollars is a lot of money.

Mm-hmm.

- [NATHAN] New house.
- Mm!

New car.

Security, safety.

But I'm gonna go
ahead and keep the kids.

Now, you go, or I'll call the police.

You know, when Mom was really sick...

- Oh, no. I'm not doing that.
- Oh, no.

Well, you might not remember
because you spent the whole year

at the Great Boone Saloon.

But when she was dying
and I was taking care of her...

[NATHAN] You never took care of her.

I did.
And you know what she talked about?

- You have told me that fiction before.
- [WENDY] She apologized for you.

For b*ating us, for being a
liar and a drunk and a cheat.

I never cheated on your mother.

[WENDY] You did.

And she knew you did.

And she forgave you
'cause Mom was a real Christian.

You go, or I call.

[INHALES] But I'm not nearly as devout,

and I will k*ll you
before I let you take my kids.

[EXHALES, SIGHS]

[RUTH] As hard as it might be
to believe, this ain't personal.

[CHUCKLES] I mean,
it ain't all personal.

And it's not like you still
don't own a big chunk of the place.

I mean, we're setting up
for your party as we speak.

Can you just give me
a sunset period on this?

Just this one last thing for Navarro.
Then that's it.

This is really about you
refusing to dirty up your own sh*t.

That's the problem here.

It's not.

Navarro will not let me launder
through any of his other businesses.

[RUTH] Then use your own businesses.

Use Lickety Splitz
and Harry's and the Blue Cat

or whatever else y'all plunder
and get it done.

Or... or invent a business.
You're good at sh*t like that.

I'm not workshopping this with you,
Ruth. There's a time concern here, okay?

[SCOFFS]

There's always gonna be
some concern, right?

[INHALES]

I cleaned my record up.

And you and Wendy
ain't gonna sh*t where I eat.

So you gotta hand it to her.

She's a f*cking little animal.

We'll smurf it in.

I'll get a bunch of people together
in the morning.

I'll send them in tomorrow night.

- It's too much.
- No, we'll go peak hours, big, big teams.

I can get it done in a few days.

I don't think so.

Well, what do you suggest?

- We have this huge event.
- No.

With money coming
in from multiple states

and sources, organizations,
in the millions.

It may be our only chance
to move this kind of cash.

When we are set up,

we are going to be
a major employer in Chicago.

We are gonna be helping people
on a large scale.

Women, sick people, poor people.

And if anyone even looked…

If... if the IRS or the FBI or anyone
even mention investigation, it's all over.

Image is everything in that world.

I can't lose it.

You've gotta get them to come home.

I'm not so sure I can do that.

Well, if you won't do it, I'll do it.

What does that mean?

What the f*ck do you think it means?

[CHUCKLES]

Look, I... I'm... I'm... I'm
begging you guys to stay.

- [CHARLOTTE] Dad...
- I know it's hard to see right now.

But the most important thing
is your family.

Grandpa's family.

But he's not somebody
that you know, Jonah.

I know he's better than Mom.

Jonah.

- What?
- It's not...

He is. And besides, this'll be
a good chance to get to know him.

[CHARLOTTE] What about you?

Let's say that
we get out of this tomorrow,

which of course we don't,
but let's say that we do.

Are you really gonna stay with Mom
after all that she's put you through?

We've put each other through a lot.
This is not all on your mom.

- [CHARLOTTE] Okay.
- [JONAH] You're not answering her.

And I'm gonna make sure
that we all get through this.

By doing everything she says.

By staying.

By staying.

And then what?

And then,

we will all have decisions to make.

Okay?

[WENDY] We have a lot
of people coming into the airfield,

so if you booked four cars,
I'd make it five.

- I already booked five.
- Then make it six.

Okay, you know what? [SCOFFS]

If you got something to say to me,
just go ahead and say it.

This place was built for one reason,
to launder money for Omar Navarro.

So it which makes what you're doing
inherently dangerous.

You just got your life together.
I-I don't see this going very well.

Thank you for that. [INHALES]

But Ruth hired me
because I'm a good manager.

- And I've always been a good manager.
- Oh!

- Yeah.
- Your business was failing when I met you.

[CHUCKLES] The place will run perfectly
the night of your fundraiser

because it is important to the casino,
and the casino is important to Ruth.

[INHALES] But you should know, outside
of the civility of doing business,

I got no use for you.

I think you are a ruthless, nasty bitch.

I think you have no sense of humor
or human f*cking decency.

Now I'm gonna go order those town cars.

I do too have a sense of humor.

assh*le.

[CHARLOTTE] Think
this is the last of it.

[SIGHS]

We're gonna head back to the motel.

Okay. Wendy, you gonna come out?

[SIGHS]

Bye, Mom.

[DICE RATTLE, TUMBLE]

- [CROWD CHEERING]
- [MAN] Yes!

[MAN ] Yeah, that's it!

How's Keith Deltrek got stacks that big?
He's been here minutes.

Bullshit's how. Get him out.

Kenny,
bounce the Deltrek boy from craps.

I wonder why this slutty jackass here
is hitting on against a six.

[MARTY] She's not
gonna let us have this.

I'm going to bed. [EXHALES]

We'll deal with it in the morning.

I'll be in in a minute.

- [BEEPS]
- [LINE RINGS]

- [CLICKS]
- Hey.

I need you to do me a favor.

[ALARM CHIRPS]

- Oh, my God, Jesus.
- Don't move.

Oh, my God, Jesus.

[PANTING]

Take my bag. [GASPS]

You need to let my colleagues
launder their money.

Do you understand me?

- [EXCLAIMS]
- Say it.

I underst... I understand.

[DOOR OPENS]

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- [PANTING]

- What in the holy hell is wrong with you?
- What are you talking about?

You sent an assassin at me
in the parking lot.

What?
No, I didn't send anyone after you.

- Please keep your volume down, okay?
- So it was your wife then.

- I don't...
- That sounds about right.

I'm gonna tell you something.
You and your d*ck wife

can launder your drug money
about a hundred other ways…

Volume.

…and yet you insist
on f*cking with Ruth.

- Why such a hard-on for that woman?
- Rachel.

I don't have a hard-on
for her or anyone else, okay?

I'm gonna give you an example.

You have different vendors.

You are working with millionaire donors.

I can't do that.

Really? Why not?
Math looks pretty easy to me.

Because I can't.

This is Wendy. All this.
You don't give a sh*t about any of this.

I really hope she's worth it, man.

I'm very sorry that somebody
came after you. Unacceptable.

But, Rachel, I-I need
your help with Ruth, please.

This is about Wyatt.

This is about,
you know, so many other things.

And this is the last time
I will ever ask her for anything.

Okay.

[TOWNSON] All righty, we're rocking it
through your drive time here at KPVK.

Still keep an eye on
this weather system, folks.

Maybe tomorrow
you ought to take the day off

'cause the skies are gonna open up
and a hard rain's gonna fall.

But for now, you're with me,
Townson Wells, on this Two-for-Tuesday.

Here's a pair from Golden Earring.
Keep it locked on the Hollow.

[GULPS] f*ck is her problem?

Yeah, well, we don't.

Wendy, if... if we get Navarro
off the list, if we get him extradited,

it's... it's useless
if we don't have the money.

The FBI said that if Navarro d*ed,

they'd be happy to
let you run the cartel.

Are you suggesting
that I run the cartel?

- [WENDY] No.
- Good.

I'm simply saying that
the FBI's already given us the answer.

We don't need Navarro.

How?

- [WENDY] Camila.
- Camila?

Let's give her the whole thing.
Let's tell her everything.

- The whole story, the FBI, everything.
- You wanna confirm her suspicions.

Tell her we've been working
for law enforcement. She'll k*ll us.

[CHUCKLES] No, we make it an offer
that's too good of a deal to turn down.

I mean,
the entire cartel is just gonna think

Navarro's alive
and running everything through Camila.

I mean, that's what everyone
will think everywhere.

I mean, but in reality,
Navarro will be dead,

and Camila will be head of the cartel.

Yeah, I'm not so sure
the FBI is gonna be willing

to look the other way
while Camila has Navarro k*lled.

And then, what, they just... they make
somebody that they've never met before

a... a shadow cartel leader?

All they want is the money
from the seizures.

Look, I mean, these people, to the FBI,

they're just, they're interchangeable.
They're disposable.

If you see another way…

You think she'd be willing to do it?

[WENDY] I can get her to do it.

Mm-hmm.

I can.

- [THUNDER RUMBLING]
- [BOTTLES CLATTERING]

[RUTH] Mr. Davis, how are you tonight?

[CHUCKLES] Oh, hi.

Annalise loves those Mexican Cokes.
Got a sweet tooth.

[RUTH] Hmm.

Well, I love beer.

Well, you sure clean up nice, don't you?

Yeah, I'm about to go to work now.

Oh, that's right.

You now own the
floating city of Gomorrah.

[CHUCKLES] How proud you must be.

Hey, um… [CLEARS THROAT]

I've been meaning to ask you. How's
the schools out by where y'all live?

Why do all you women
care so much about the schools?

Those two are smarter than sh*t.

They're gonna need
good f*cking teachers.

And you can watch your
language around me.

I'm sorry.

I've got a sailor's mouth.

How'd you and my son
spend time together, anyway?

What... what do you mean?

Aside from the physical.

What'd you do? What'd you talk about?

Uh…

I guess we talked about
what everybody talks about.

You know. "How was your day?"

"What do we wanna do?
What do we wanna eat?"

[CHUCKLES] Yeah.

'Cause you're not his type.

All right.

He likes brunettes, same as me.

You can't trust blondes.

Hmm, no,
I figure you can't trust about anyone.

And they're smart-mouthed.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Hmm. Okay.

- You have a good night now.
- Have a good time on your boat.

- [RUTH] Mm-hmm.
- [CHUCKLES]

[CAMILA] I know for a while now
that you're working with the FBI.

[MARTY] Hmm.

These seizures are the fee.

That's the price of doing business.

Uh, otherwise, they... they won't
interfere with your operations.

[WENDY] Both your brother and your son
knew how smart this deal is.

And look at the two of them.

- You're different.
- [CAMILA] Hmm.

Your brother was taken down
by a... a rogue FBI agent.

- An outlier.
- Yeah.

And the Bureau is very much on our side.

And your son, may he rest in peace,
he was never given the opportunity

to embrace the arrangement
because your brother had him k*lled.

[INHALES] You want me to run the cartel

while the world believes
my brother's running it. Why?

In maintaining the appearance
of a patriarchy…

[CAMILA] Oh.

…it avoids a lot of headaches
in your organization, don't you think?

[CAMILA] Don't pretend
like this is for my benefit.

[INHALES] If I run the cartel
with the approval of the FBI,

that means they'll
stop investigating you,

and you'll be free to run
your foundation and play kingmaker.

All those things can be true at once.

How are things with your kids?

Not great,
but we're working through it. Thanks.

[CAMILA] They're at a wild age.

Difficult, emotional.

[WENDY] Yes, they are.

Your family means a lot to you.

Well, my family means a lot to me too.

And yet,
you'll have me k*ll my own brother

to make all this possible.

We know, Camila.

We know it was you

who made the attempt
on your brother's life.

And we never told him,
and we never will,

because we wanna keep you alive.

Make you king.

[CHUCKLES]

[INHALES] Now that I know all this,

what makes you think I won't k*ll you?

'Cause with us, you get the FBI.

You get to run
the biggest cartel in the world

and never be on any most wanted list.

Never see a prison cell.

You'll be everything
and nothing at once,

which if I'm not mistaken
is exactly what you want.

Okay.

"Okay" as in "yes"?

"Okay" as in "yes."

[MARTY CHUCKLES]

We'll set up a meeting with the FBI.

[INHALES] I'll need
to visit Omar one last time.

I-I don't think that
that's the best idea.

Yeah, well...
Well, no, what he means is, it...

It would be easier
on you if you didn't see him.

Oh, I'll be fine.

Of course, but, um… [SIGHS]

We'll look into it,
but it may not be possible.

I believe you'll make it possible.

How fast can we fill a board seat
if I told Schafer to f*ck off?

[SCOFFS] I told you, at this point,
you need Schafer to get Navarro off SDN,

or you need a lot more time and money
to put a new team together.

[WENDY] Hmm.

It might be that we don't
need him off the list, after all.

Why, you, um,
planning on k*lling another cartel head?

[CHUCKLES] No.

Right, well… [EXHALES]

…I could fill Schafer's seat
in whiplash time.

What about damage control?

Not bad.

Good, potentially.

If you get out in front, say that
you're willing to take a financial hit

if it means not getting into bed
with amoral people. Blah, blah, blah…

Good.

"Potentially good"
is what I wanted to hear.

[CHUCKLES]

[IN SPANISH] What are you doing here?

[CAMILA] I'm in town for the gala,
and I wanted to see you.

- Is that okay?
- Yes, of course.

[CAMILA] You look better.

More blood in your face.

They don't cut your hair, do they?

Hmm. It makes you look young.

[OMAR CHUCKLES]

[CAMILA] Do you remember my wedding?

That's an odd question.

Barely. I was and very drunk.

You got in so much trouble.

Dad was so mad at you.

He was screaming at you
in that little vestibule.

You came over and asked him to dance.

You do remember.

You winked at me.

That's right.

- I winked at you.
- [CHUCKLES]

My little buddy.

I didn't k*ll Javi.

Your son was not a traitor, Camila,
and I didn't k*ll him.

I used his death to see who was who.

But I didn't k*ll your son.

Then who did?

I don't know.

Who told you?

Wendy Byrde.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

[IN ENGLISH] Hi, this is Marty Byrde.

Marty, it's Camila. How are you?

Uh, good, Camila. How are you?

I'm gonna need you to tell me
who k*lled my son.

I-I know that your...
Your brother ordered the hit,

but I don't... I don't know
who actually did it. I'm sorry.

Omar just told me he didn't order it.

It's important that
you're honest with me.

Uh… [HESITATES]

Listen, uh, y-you know, Camila, I'm...

I'm not really
on that side of the business,

so I don't have any details.

Um, I apologize, you know.

I'll... I'll... I'll look
into it for you if you'd like.

But, uh, you know, I just...
I might not be the best person to ask.

All right.

I'll see you soon.

[PHONE BEEPS]

[SIGHS]

[WORKERS SHOUTING]

[RACHEL] Thanks for
letting me stay over.

[RUTH] Oh, I like the company.

Three's hardly ever here,
and when I get it done,

you can have the guesthouse
if you want or…

or, uh, live in the big house.

Yeah,
it'll be too much for me and Three.

It's okay to move up, you know.

You deserve this.

[INHALES] Yeah.

Don't you... don't you
f*cking shrug me off, you bitch.

- Don't do that.
- [LAUGHS]

You deserve the whole f*cking thing.
You do. New start, new house.

New life.

I guess.

Well, I know.

[THUNDER RUMBLING, CRASHING]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[KNOCKING CONTINUES]

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[BENITEZ] Hey. Hey.

[INHALES] Your door
was a little bit open.

[SIGHS]

What can I do for you?

[BENITEZ] He wants to see you.

He had an uncomfortable visit
from his sister today,

and he wants to talk to you and Marty.

Okay.

[BENITEZ] Okay.

[SIGHS]

What's going on? [EXHALES]

[WENDY CLICKS TONGUE]

- My children left me.
- [INHALES] Mm-hmm.

Don't you think
they'll probably come back?

No, I think my father is gonna poison
them against me.

[BENITEZ] Hmm. Mm-hmm.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[EXHALES]

I had a terrible relationship
with my father.

He was a massive prick. [HUFFS]

It's not bragging if it's true.

He's dead now.

But he hit my mother. He hit my sisters.

b*at me and my brothers.

[EXHALES] I've forgiven him, of course.

Of course.

But there was a time there

where it was either…

k*ll the man…

or join the church.

Is that right?

Thanks for that.

Yeah, you're welcome.

Thank you.

Now, you're either gonna
let me in this hospital,

or I'm gonna leave this building,
and I'm gonna k*ll my father.

So, why don't you pass me
that clipboard there?

Let's get to know each other, hmm?

Hey, you can stay at mine
again tonight if you want.

We can watch, uh, Duck Dynasty
and feel good about ourselves.

- [RACHEL] That does sound fun.
- [LAUGHS] Yeah.

Uh, well, uh, I got an errand to run,
so, uh, I'll bring home dinner.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

- [RACHEL] Careful out there.
- Yep.

Do you, uh, do you need anything?

No.

What are you doing in here exactly?

[WENDY] Did you tell
the kids I'm in here?

No, I did not tell the kids.
I don't wanna worry them.

The whole point is to worry the kids.

You know,
we got that fundraiser in two days.

Don't you wanna be able
to get ready for that? Be rested?

[WENDY] Tell the kids I'm in here.

And... and what about Camila? You know,
we got this new deal with Camila.

Are you... you gonna make me
handle that all on my own?

If I leave here, I'll k*ll him.

Who?

What do... what do you mean "who"?

My dad.

Okay, that's enough.

I'm not leaving here
till I get my kids back.

[MARTY CLICKS TONGUE]

- Got it.
- Mm-hmm.

assh*le.

[SEAT BELT CLICKS]

We need some place private to talk.

I'll be in my office
with Ms. Langmore if y'all need me.

[RUTH] All right, then. Here's the deal.

The man you got sitting
in prison over there for Wyatt's m*rder.

He didn't do it.

Hold on a minute.

Maybe you should get yourself a lawyer
before you say anything else.

No need.

All right.

Go on, then.

A m*therf*cker named
Javi Elizondro did it.

He works for the Navarro Cartel,
and he had them...

[RONNIE] The Navarro cartel?

Can... can I...
Can I get through this, please?

Yes.

He had a problem
with Darlene growing heroin,

and he sh*t her

and Wyatt,

and... and when I found that out,

I hunted him down
and... and k*lled him in Chicago.

So... so the man's dead.

Jesus Christ, Ruth.

[RUTH] And... and...
And you ain't never gonna find him.

And it might also interest you to know
that Javi Elizondro k*lled Sheriff Nix,

so you can take those billboards down
'cause you ain't never gonna find him.

And here's the thing.
If any DA or anyone ever comes at me

and says that I said
any of this sh*t to you,

I'll deny it
and tell them that you're crazy.

And who'll believe you anyway?
Because it is crazy.

Now, you know how bad it looks?

You getting all Darlene's money
and then coming in here

with a story about cartels
and Chicago and dead cops.

And just what do you
expect me to do here?

First of all,

go ahead and follow
the money if you want,

'cause it ain't gonna
lead you to nowhere.

None of it was about money to me.

And you ain't never gonna find
any evidence

'cause this is some high-level sh*t.

Now, I'm sorry to lay this all on you,
but those are the facts.

My point here is
the man sitting in that jail cell

ain't guilty of nothing
but being poor and being an assh*le.

And half of that ain't even his fault.

He didn't do it.

There's a fuckload of politics
in your job,

but right is right.

[HUFFS]

[SIGHS]

You're gonna be a good sheriff, Ronnie.

Just be careful driving home.

It's slicker than spit out.

sh*t, sh*t, f*ck!

Hey, I got Duck Dynasty on.
It's really good.

- Okay, yeah, you need to listen to me.
- What's the matter?

No, no, you...
You need to get out of there.

Nelson, the guy
who f*cked with you the other day,

he's coming after me,
and he'll find you.

- Wait, what?
- Just... just please listen to me.

Go to the closet, get the r*fle,

and then you need to f*cking run into
the woods, and you just keep running.

f*ck. All right, I got it.

- My shoes!
- Just forget about your f*cking shoes.

f*ck!

- f*ck! He's coming up the drive.
- sh*t.

sh*t, sh*t.

Get behind the trailer. Run now!

f*ck.

f*cking nightmare!

- Just go. Just f*cking move.
- [GRUNTS]

Once he gets out of his f*cking car, you
need to sh**t him, or he'll k*ll you.

He'll find you, and he'll k*ll you.

[PANTING]

Just slow and steady.

Just do it. Slow and steady.

Oh, Jesus. [GROANS]

- [NELSON GRUNTS]
- [RACHEL WHIMPERS]

[NELSON GRUNTS]

Oh, f*ck me.

Look, I'm... I'm... I'm almost there.
