03x01 - Do You Love An Apple

Post by bunniefuu »

Listen, I'm here because
Sheriff Tubb asked me to step in.

You must be the new temporary sheriff.

He seems very Texas.

I wonder where Tubb found him.

My ex-wife married some rich tech dude

who owns a ranch just south of town.

I followed her up here.
Her and my daughter.

And let me guess,
you're still in love with her?

I ran into Tonya.

She's working for Ren Bhullar,
as in Bhullar cartel.

Do you like k*lling?

Oh, I don't know. I heard he's staying.

Did he ever tell you what happened?

Some. You?

Not the divorce, no.

Look, just so we're all

I broke up with him.

We're better as friends.

He and Jerrie are a great match.

Let's look into a missing backpacker.

Parents called from San Francisco.

Haven't heard from him.

Said that his last call came from Helena

and said that he mentioned
the Basin Trail.

I'll look into it, and I'll check
out the trail-heads and putouts.

Okay. Okay. You're gonna make me blush.

Denise, really?

JENNY: Okay. Come on.

It's fine. It's fine. You know why?

'Cause she makes the best damn

Makes you wonder what

why somebody who broke out of prison

had a pocket full of stolen cash

a store manager hostage.

is the brother of her ex-boyfriend,

Revenge?

- Did Faith help raise the kid?
- Looks like that.

Even stayed in her life
after she and the ex broke up.

The ex went to prison six months ago,

which means Uncle Bill
could've got custody of the kid.

Yeppers. You got it, boss.

We found a letter from the girl
in Faith's prison cell.

She said she's moving with Uncle Bill

and the aunt to Ireland
in two weeks for his new job.

In the letter, she called Faith "Mommy".

That's why she had to break out.

She couldn't wait
to be released on parole.

You just read my mind.

How do we know the kid's
not with her aunt right now?

Been trying her cellphone, but no luck.

No answer at work, either.

- Where does she work?
- At a salon. Helena Hair Designs.

sh**t us an address, Potpie. Nice work.
