02x19 - A Matter of Miles

[bunniefuu]

Hey, Cassie.

Miles.

How... how? I-I don't understand.

[SIGHING]

I knew you were alive.

It's so good to see you, Cass.

But we found your blood,

- and casings.
- I know, I know.

Look, that night, uh...

when we got to tip

at the warehouses, you and I split up.

♪

As soon as you were inside,

- Fenton drove up.
- FENTON: You ready?

MILES: We, uh...

we staged it.

We staged my m*rder. We wanted

to keep everyone safe.

From who?

Miles, you still

haven't told us.

Safe from who?

JAMES: I checked all active

Ranger investigations,

and guess what?
Yours was not an official op.

Couldn't be.

We don't know who to trust.

WALKER: But you trust Captain Cole.

Do you know what kind of man
Captain Cole really is?

I spent months looking for you.

I forced myself to think
that you were alive

even when everyone made me feel
like I was crazy.

And I-I can't believe I even

have to ask you.
You can't just level with me?

WALKER: Miles, whoever was
outside of that trailer

tried to k*ll us.

And they would have
if we hadn't sh**t our way out

and-and hide in the brush for hours.

You need to start talking, Miles.

Why use my g*n?

- What are you talking about?
- Oh, just

cut the crap and tell me why you
wanted me to feel responsible.

Cass, I don't know how that happened.

I swear.

Listen, the thr*at is still out there.

It's not safe for me
to be here right now.

JAMES: Hey, here is the
safest place for you to be

until you tell us who's trying
to k*ll you and why.

[SIGHS]

Damn you for keeping me in the dark.

I was...

lost, confused,

to say the least. And, um...

Fenton...

What about Fenton?

RITA: He was there for us, Miles.

Fenton and I...

Oh.

Baby, we didn't know...

Fenton did.

He knew Miles was alive. The whole time.

He lied.

To both of you.

Is she telling the truth?

Yeah.

I trusted him.

I didn't know who else

- to turn to, and he...
- You didn't know, no.

You couldn't have known about that.

And whatever the hell
you two are mixed up in,

let us help you.

Liam, hey, uh... not a great time.

What the hell is that?

Just try it.

Hey, I'm-I'm gonna be quick.
I spoke to Stella.

She said dinner is on with
the Davidsons tonight, okay?

So we'll be civil,

get them to talk, and they just

might admit to something.
Okay? Are you still cool with that?

BONHAM: You know, uh...

the kids are gonna k*ll you
when they find out

that you used them
to highjack this dinner.

The kids will forgive us

when we get the ranch back.

BONHAM: Let me get this straight...

So y-you're hoping that
Gale or Denise will fly off the handle,

slip up and confess?

Yeah.

Yeah, well, good freaking luck.

Uh, Stinker, D-Daddy's right.

I mean, I-I agree with him, you know?

And I-and I'm worried
about collateral damage.

Collateral damage?

Cordi, they took everything from us.

No, I know, I know. It's just,

the kids. You know? And-and Geri.

A-All this "eye for an eye" stuff...

Everyone's gonna end up blind.

Except Dan is our Trojan horse, okay?

He can get Denise to talk.

Plus, he's willing to testify.

You trust him?

I mean... I trust that he will

protect himself. Are
you getting cold feet?

No, no, I'm not.

I-I just...

Liam, there-there's got to be some, uh,

some limit to what we can all take,

My social handles. I'm Kit.

Thanks.

Look, don't just stand there,
pull up her social handles.

Okay, okay.

Captain James. What are you doing here?

Actually,

I have a few questions of my own.

Here's one. Why'd you fake Miles' death

and then hook up with his wife?

- Wait, what?
- Yeah.

It's that kind of conversation.

We know about the trailer, too,

by the way.

You happen to know
who was sh**ting at us?

Oh, no. Uh...

Miles... did they get him?

No, he's fine. He's fine.

Not thanks to you, I'm guessing.

I'll tell you, man,
there is a special kind of hell

for the games you've been playing.

And a supermax for all
the laws you've broken.

I didn't break any laws.

[LAUGHS]

Insurance fraud, conspiracy,
running an illegal black op.

Oh, and let-let's not forget:

faking the death of a Texas Ranger.

You're probably gonna get a little more
than a slap on the wrist.

I'm gonna ask you again.

Who's trying to k*ll us?

This is what Miles
and I were trying to avoid.

I mean, I'm sure they're tracking me,

- which means they know.
- Who?

- Ah, they'll keep coming.
- Who?

Who's they? Who's coming?

Walk away from this, Larry.

Trust me.

Trust you.

Okay.

How about we head on down to HQ.

We can sort this all out.

Gentleman.

Whoa, whoa. Hey, hey.

What?

I'm gonna need you to take a b*at.

- All right?
- What? I was right

about him the entire time.

- I should be in there.
- You should.

But he's already anxious,
and we need him to talk.

You understand that this is
the entire reason I'm in Austin.

Miles, Fenton. If I don't
shut this case...

You will. Cassie, you will.

Listen to me. What I need right now,

what I'm asking you to do

is get Miles to the safe house, okay?

That's where he needs to be tonight.

I'm gonna call in Trey.
He can help settle him down,

keep him stable. But I need you there.

Nobody knows Miles
better than you, right?

Well, so I thought.

Hey, I'm gonna take care
of Fenton. Trust me.

He's not getting away with this.

Thank you, gentlemen.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

Okay.

So, help me out, man.

Captain to captain. Who is "coming?"

Captain to captain...

you and your rangers
should stay away from this.

Just answer the question here, Fenton.

I told you.

Miles and I were
running an investigation

that you've now jeopardized.

Yeah, I've already spoken
to your superiors.

They don't know anything
about your investigation.

Or this thr*at that
you keep talking about.

You do realize that you're
done with the Rangers.

Do you really think that
that matters at this point?

That trailer was just the beginning.

Just tell me who
we're dealing with, Fenton.

And who are you trying
to protect... yourself,

someone else?

I'm a dead man no matter what.

You want to think I'm a dirty cop? Fine.

But I'm trying to protect people.

Are you?

Like who... Rita?

You manipulated your Ranger...
Your alleged friend...

- And then seduced his wife?
- No.

It's not like that. I...

I'm done.

I'm done. I'm done talking.

You're done? All right.

Fine.

I'm keeping you here
until I get answers.

You can't do that.

I can't?

Look, we may have been equals
in the eyes of the DPS,

but I woke up this morning
and I decided to keep my oath.

You clearly did not.

So I'm gonna keep doing my job

and I'm gonna wait for you

to tell me why you stopped doing yours.

What the hell are we doing here,

bringing biscuits and making nice?

I didn't bring biscuits.

I did bring squash casserole, collards,

and my berry crumble.

Well, there needs to be
something edible on that table.

[CHUCKLES]

Everything all right?

We don't want to go in without you.

- [SIGHING]
- Hey, this is for a good cause.

I mean, we could put things to rest.

Might be we don't even
have to stay for dessert.

But your mama made crumble.

- [CHUCKLES]
- We could eat it at home.

Which home?

The rightful one.

Are they ever gonna come in?

They've been out there
for, like, minutes.

[SIGHS] I know. Must be so hard.

Almost makes me feel sorry for them.

And then, I remember.
And I feel just fine.

Hey, there y'all are. You find us okay?

AUGUST: Yeah, we were...

- we were just...
- She's kidding, August.

Oh, and you brought things.
You shouldn't have.

Um, Geri is, uh, whipping up salad.

Yeah, family recipe.

For salad?

Oh. That was really thoughtful,
Liam, thank you.

LIAM: I-I didn't know whether or
not to pick white or red,

but it felt like the situation
called for wine.

- Yeah.
- Where's Cordell... protesting?

LIAM: Uh, no. He's at work.

But he'll be here soon. Uh, where's Dan?

I sent him out to get ice,
but he'll be back.

- Hi, sweetie.
- Hi.

[CHUCKLES]

Okay, Are you two sure
this was a good idea?

Well, we can't all be scared to be

in the same place the rest of our lives.

Agreed. But I mean,

look, you two get to go off
to college and escape.

I have to stay back
and deal with these guys.

So just... let me take the lead on this.

There's no leading.
We just want to sit down at a nice meal

to show everyone that it's possible.

It's gonna be great.

Hey, Gramps.

Do you have any sage?

I feel like maybe we
should burn some sage.

Sage?

No. I know where
we can find some hemlock.

Hi.

Hey. I was just coming in
to fill this up.

But it did come down to it, so...

Oh, Cordell's here. Thanks for joining.

ABELINE: Oh, hi, son.

No, she was busy.

Remember? Arresting Augie.

No, no, no, it wasn't an arrest.

Besides, that was the day
before the race even happened,

- so it's...
- LIAM: Correct.

Thank you, August, very helpful.

Yes, so helpful.

So, you were late to
the race because...?

I was at work, doing my job.

Now, your father, Liam,
that was an arrest.

- [DENISE LAUGHING]
- DAN: Is it really necessary

to go back over all this?

LIAM: Yeah, it's-it's all, it's
all just part of a process, Dan.

I mean, it's part of closure, right?

I mean, we go back through the steps,

we acknowledge what happened.

I mean, we discussed this.
You agreed to this, right?

Wait, you discussed this?

DAN: Yes, Liam and I tried to find

- some kind of closure.
- Closure?

Coming from the man who's
been dodging divorce papers

- for months. Oh.
- Mom.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- Wow.
- Oh, my God.

What? You think I cut the saddle?

Is that what you're trying to say?

- acres.

and he offered me ac...

He offered us acres.

Wow, well, I did not know that.

Right? Didn't happen.

I mean, all deals were off
once you took in my son.

Wow.

Everybody, wow.

What else don't I know?

Is there anything that you guys
want to share with the table?

Okay, what? You think
acres is a deal?

You know, we were trying
to help you out.

You know what, Bonham Walker?
You had your chance.

You had the chance
to give up a sliver of land,

but you didn't.

Because your pride wouldn't let you.

So don't blame me for the situation
you got your family into.

Yeah, well, that sliver
of land happened to be...

- Oh!

Are we seriously doing this right now?

Look, this was supposed to be
a celebration, wasn't it?

Right? That we didn't all die
the other day?

That our families were finally
working together for once?

DENISE: He's right.

You want me to lead you
through the events

of that morning? Fine.

That's the example that you
want to set for our kids? Fine.

I got up, I went to work.
I arrested your father.

And I was wrong.

I am adult enough to admit that.

But it is a shame that you
cannot give us a moment of peace.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

I was gonna call someone to fix that.

No need.

MILES: Yeah.

It's too late.

Thank you.

Yeah. Cap, hey.

I'm okay. I'm okay. These guys...

- [SIGHS]
- Good job in there.

Think we got lucky.

WALKER: Want to know what I think?

[CLEARS THROAT]

[CLICKS TONGUE]
I think Fenton was right.

I think this...

is just the beginning.

You know what?
They're going to get Sachi

set up with a great school.

And you and Rita...

We'll be okay. We'll be okay.

You'll be safe.

And I'm going to find the truth.

Cassie, I... [SCOFFS]

Listen, I don't want you
getting into this.

The whole time I was under it,

- I couldn't cr*ck this.
- Don't say that.

You did, you made the first cr*ck

and now we just have to smash it.

Hmm.

Look, you don't know
what Fenton wasn't telling you.

And I owe you for giving up.

[CHUCKLES] You didn't give up.

Why did you, anyways? Why...?

Why did you keep pushing?

[SIGHS]

Because you believed in me.

More than I thought I deserved.

Other things in my life... My brother,

stuff got messy, but...

But I thought if I could be the person
that you thought I could be,

and that could be
the one thing I do right,

then I made Ranger,
and you were my partner,

and it just all seemed
too good to be true.

I couldn't let it be
too good to be true.

This is probably the wrong time
to ask this, but...

will you miss it?

I'm-I'm b*rned.

[SIGHS] All that time
I had to myself to think.

I-I don't know.

Maybe it shouldn't have been
that easy for Rita to let me go.

It was my fault.

I checked out
from being a husband a long time ago.

Maybe I wasn't locked up
in that trailer,

but I was, I was...

I was gone.

I was right about you, though.

You're a great Ranger.

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

Now, you can be happy, too.
You see? You can be happy.

I want you to...

I want you to learn
from my mistakes, okay?

Just let yourself be.

Come here.

- Come on.
- [SNIFFLES]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Oh, my God.

- Yeah.
- Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay. I'm okay.

- [SIGHS]
- Yeah.

- We all made it out.
- Good.

Yeah.

Okay, so-so tell me.

Last night, with-with Gale?

Yeah, I...

There was something in her eye.

It's like... I don't know.

It was like she heard
what she was saying

and she was correcting herself.

But I might be overthinking... I mean,

we all had a lot of wine, so...

Don't-don't doubt yourself, Geri.

- Okay?
- Thank you.

For being here with me.

- Of course, yeah, anytime.
- [KNOCKING]

Nate. Hi.

- Come on in.
- Ranger Walker.

Didn't think I'd see you
till my court date.

Yeah.

This about Frank?

Uh... Could be.

I actually
wanted to ask you about Gale Davidson.

I have reason to think...

Well, I...

I just think that there's a chance

that she knew that I was alive.

And I-I'm not saying recently.
I mean back then.

So I have to ask.

Did you ever tell anyone?

Never.

WALKER: Are you sure, Nate?

I'm gonna look out for you in court.

This isn't about that.
Geri just needs to know...

No, believe me. There was no slip-up.

Never.

Frank would've lost you.

I couldn't have risked that.

[SCOFFS]

Well, if Frank didn't know,

you didn't say anything...

Gale still somehow knew.

NATE: The only other person that knew
was Marv Davidson.

Right.

If Marv did tell Gale, if she knew...

[SCOFFS]

I mean, what do you think
she would've done?
