That's great to hear.
Thank you.
All right, let's do this.
Mm-hmm.
Deputy Read, you shouldn't have.
Now I know you way
too cool for school
for flowers like this.
So, I thought I might take
these home for the missus.
Oh, really, now?
I'm just messing with ya.
But my friend, let me
introduce you to Goldie.
Goldie, this is our new sheriff.
Luke, this is Goldie,
courtesy of Barnes.
Uncle Barnes and his fish.
Retirement has made
him a little weird.
Crazy is as crazy does, right?
Well, Ty, it's gonna be a fun
adventure working with you.
I just know it.
Looking forward
to it, brother.
-Me, too.
-All right.
Goldie, take care of that man.
"Congratulations, Luke.
The prodigal son has returned.
Glad you are back."
Morning, John.
Deputy Read, what do we got?
Byron Cressman, 36.
Arizona plates.
A single g*nsh*t
wound to the head.
He leave a note?
No, just a empty
bottle filled with sorrow.
He was drunk when
he k*lled himself.
Slow clap for the sheriff.
And who found him?
Two kids.
They were ditching
school, playing around.
They came upon the car.
How long ago?
About a hour ago.
I got his phone here.
I'm gonna try to break into it.
Good, good.
Anything else?
Oh, jackpot.
This, sir.
Ex-girlfriend?
Hmm?
You know her?
Um, no.
Hey, bag this for me, okay?
And let's call McGraw down
here to tow the car back
to the yard after they
bag the body, okay?
This is awkward.
Sorry.
Unfortunately they closed
down about eight years ago,
but we'll get you a tow, sir.
Jesus.
-Uncle Barnes.
-Luke!
Damn you.
I was wondering when you
were gonna get around
to stopping by.
Well, I'm here now.
-Is that-
-That sure is.
-May I?
Sure.
Oh h*.
You don't
get that in LA.
Mmm.
Mm.
Sober, remember?
sh*t.
How long has it been now?
3,785 days, but who's counting?
Wow, that's a
mighty long time.
Proud of you, son.
Thanks.
Your mom taught Cheyenne that
recipe before she passed on.
That's right.
Did you get a chance
to see Cheyenne yet?
I haven't.
Hell, you two were
childhood sweethearts.
I'da thought for
sure you'd be married
with children by now.
Everybody did.
Yeah, it's complicated.
That big city didn't
teach you any smarts,
that's for sure.
Now that is a tank.
Alright, now the goldfish
gift makes sense.
That there is one of a kind.
Those fish, a rare breed.
I do the talkin',
they do the listenin'.
Very therapeutic.
If you say so, Uncle Barnes.
If you say so.
How's being
a sheriff treatin' you?
Luke?
Uh, It's--it's crazy down at
the station, actually.
Hey, I got a case today.
Good to have you back, son.
Yeah, it's good to be back.
Man, it's been a while
since I've been here.
Mrs. Rodriguez still
cooking these days?
Yeah, sure.
Just like the good ol' days.
Buenos dias, Buelita.
May I help you?
It's me, Luke.
Lucas?
Is that you, mijo?
-Uh huh.
-Entre.
Como estas?
Look at you.
I heard you were all,
Mr. Big Time Sheriff now.
I don't know about that.
I love what you've
done with the place.
Johnny.
It's like the old days,
you snotnose kids running
in the streets and coming
over for my empanadas.
Oh, I've missed those.
Yeah, look, so we need
to talk to Eduardo.
Hay, Dios mio.
Again?
Just want to talk to him.
Are you going to arrest him?
Just a few questions.
That's all.
Okay, mijo.
I'll wake him up.
Gracias.
Lalo.
Yeah, that tweaker
is not gonna be asleep.
I'm sure he's still
coming off his last bender.
Just let me handle it, okay?
Que paso?
Someone here for you.
What the hell
you want this time?
I'm clean.
I've been checking
in with my PO.
Yeah, no, of course.
I'm just curious what you got
cookin' in the shed back there?
You got a warrant?
Hey, Lalo.
It's me. Luke.
'Member?
We used to come by here
when you were younger
and play basketball with ya.
Remember me?
You don't f*cking know me.
Lalo, por favor.
These fools just
tryin' to lock me up.
Hey.
Y'all better get the
f*ck off my property!
Have you seen this kid?
Nah.
Never seen him.
Well, he told us he
came by here days ago
to get dope off of you.
That kid died in the
ER from that crap.
Go talk to my PO.
-Lalo, you told me.
-These fools lying, abuela.
I didn't sell him no sh*t.
Lalo, calm down.
Lalo!
-I am!
-Don't do it, man.
Hey!
Lalo! Hey!
Lalo! Lalo!
Lalo, stop!
Lalo!
Hey!
Lalo! Stop!
Lalo, don't do-
Don't do this, okay?
Put the g*n down.
I don't want to go
back to the pinta.
I just wanna talk.
That fool OD'd
on his own, homie.
I didn't make him
take that sh*t.
That's right. That's right.
Alright, it's not your fault.
Just, I just wanna talk.
I'm gonna come
around the corner.
Don't sh**t.
Hey.
Remember me?
It's Luke. Remember I used to
tutor you in math?
Just put the g*n down.
I just want to
talk to you, okay?
Damn it.
Jesus, man.
What'd you do, huh?
You are something else, Luke.
You ain't been here a week
and look how bad you
messed things up.
Jesus.
Prick.
Sheriff.
Hi, welcome.
What's your name?
Nicoly.
Nicoly, you want to help play
with our toys in the playroom?
-Uh huh.
-Cheryl?
Hey.
It's okay.
It's okay.
You're safe here.
My boyfriend can't
find out I'm here.
He won't.
What's your name?
Laura.
Laura, you don't
need to worry anymore.
You'll be okay.
We can make some arrangements
if that's what you want.
You don't know him.
He's got a temper and he's
expecting me home tonight.
If I'm not there, he's
gonna do this again.
You've come to
the right place,
and you can stay for as
long as you need, okay?
Cheryl, can you please help
Laura with her paperwork?
I'm gonna leave
you in good hands.
I have to go to the clinic now.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Here.
Let me clean that.
Dr. Gomez will be
attending you in a few.
Dr. Gomez?
Yeah, Cheyenne Gomez.
Luke Easton.
Dr. Cheyenne Gomez.
Don't look so surprised.
No, no, it's, just
happy for you.
You went out and you did it.
Well, it took me a while.
Hey, I'm proud of you.
Gosh, I've been
meaning to call you
since I got back in town,
but work's been crazy already.
Yeah, I hear
you're a sheriff now.
Yeah.
It was sad about
Eduardo, though.
That kid is always
getting into trouble.
Yeah.
How's Mrs. Rodriguez doing?
She's good. She's good.
She's one tough cookie.
Yeah, she is.
It's not easy taking care
of a grandson like that.
It doesn't look too bad.
Just a graze.
That's better.
You look good.
You haven't aged a day.
You don't look
too bad, yourself.
Life in the big
city did you good.
Well, I don't know about that.
Felt like a fish out
of water over there.
Not sure I really fit in.
Yeah, right.
You were always the
big man on campus.
You fit in anywhere.
I'm serious.
How about you?
What have you been up to?
I do a lot of volunteer work
now at the women's shelter.
Started about a year ago.
If there's ever anything I
can do, just give me a call.
Thanks.
Well, that's good.
Come back in a couple weeks.
Mm-hmm.
Sorry, but I have to go now.
Chey, I just
want to apologize.
I made some bad
choices back then.
Right now isn't a good
time to talk about that.
Yeah, I know.
I know, I know...
I just, I was such a mess
because of everything. I just-
Just left town,
without saying a word.
You could have at least called.
Something.
Anything.
Chey-
It took me a
while for things to-
I'm a different person now.
I am and I would
never leave you like-
Like what?
Can I call you sometime?
I'll think about it.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Looks good.
Chloe?
Daddy's home.
Hey, girl.
All right.
What day is it?
You remember?
3,785, uh 86 today.
All right. What do you want?
You want lamb? Beef?
You had lamb yesterday,
so how about we do
some beef today?
I saw Cheyenne.
She was my doctor.
You ready?
Smell that?
Mm-hmm.
Ow.
Same old Chey.
Alright, girl.
Chloe!
It is bedtime.
Oh yeah.
Goodnight kisses?
Goodnight kisses?
You ain't been here a week
and look how bad you
messed things up.
"Liquor Plus."
"Comp Kitcher."
Hey, boss.
Tell me you cracked it.
I cracked it.
How?
Well, that's a
need to know basis, boss.
Come on.
There's nothing on here.
Yeah, I looked
through everything,
but unfortunately
the phone was wiped.
Alright,
let me try something.
Ah.
There we go.
How'd you do that?
I need to know.
Deleted folder.
I'm gonna have
to remember that.
Yes, you do.
So why delete everything
if you're just gonna
sit up there and-
My guess is that
there's stuff on here
that could get someone
in some serious trouble.
Wait, wait, wait.
What about that one?
Whoa.
Look at all this.
It's the same number.
Let's trace it.
I'm on it.
Hey, good work.
We're closed, sorry.
You're Honesty, right?
Yeah.
Sheriff Luke Easton.
Nice to meet ya.
Am I in trouble?
No.
No, no.
Just looking for
a couple answers.
Is this your handwriting?
Yes.
And do you remember
this particular bill
and the people you served?
Yeah, I remember them.
It was a woman and a man.
The bill was all comped.
Comped.
Why was it comped
and who comped it?
Mr. Morris called
in and said to.
Mr. Morris.
Mr. Morris.
And what's Mr.
Morris's first name?
Kitcher Morris.
He's one of the owners here.
And the girl you mentioned,
do you remember her name?
No, sorry.
No.
Is there anything else
about the couple you remember?
Are they in trouble?
I am not at liberty to say.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I should mind my own business,
but it did seem a bit odd.
How so?
Mr. Morris never
gives anything comped.
And they looked like
they were in love.
How could you tell?
A girl knows when a
guy's into her.
Yeah, I guess they do.
Is there anything
else you remember?
That's about it.
Okay. Well, thank you for
your time, Honesty.
And if you happen to
remember anything else,
her name, anything,
please give me a call.
Number's right there.
Sheriff Luke Easton.
Sure.
-Thank you.
-Bye, handsome.
No bruising.
Nothing under the fingernails.
Nothing but a hole
through his brain
and powder burns around
the wound and on his hand.
Blood alcohol level was .32.
Only one entry and exit wound.
Powder burns on the hand
and head indicate that
it was self-inflicted.
All right.
Thank you.
Now, what is an accountant
from Phoenix, Arizona doing
in Rosa Sangre County?
k*lling himself
here, of all places?
Can I start
you off with some drinks?
I'll have a green tea.
Thank you.
And may I do a cup
of coffee, please?
Okay.
Gotcha.
Thank you.
So, thanks for coming.
Is there any reason
you picked this place?
-You remember.
-How can I forget?
We had our first date here.
And we had a lot of fun-
That was a long time ago.
We were
really good together, Chey.
Until you left.
Touch. Touch.
But hey, I still
always think about you.
Oh, yeah.
I'm sure you think about me
all the time in LA too, huh?
All the time.
-Really?
-Mm-hmm.
I missed that smile.
And leaving was the
biggest mistake of my life.
Leaving you.
-All right.
-Ah, thank you.
You ready to order?
Uh, can we have a
couple more minutes?
-Yeah, of course.
-Thank you.
To old times.
Okay. Uh--
To new beginnings?
You still remember?
Of course.
How could I forget?
Arriba.
Abajo.
Al centro.
Pa' dentro.
Ooh.
Just as good as last time.
I never should have left.
And why did you?
Just too many ghosts.
Yeah, they just
kept on haunting me
and I thought I could
outrun 'em, but nope.
First my parents
died in that accident
and then Sara disappeared,
and I don't know,
I just, I lost it.
I tried reaching out to
you after what happened
to your sister, but
you shut me out.
Yeah, I know.
I was just empty
inside, you know,
and just so helpless
and not being able to find Sara,
I just, I didn't
know what to do.
I wanted to help.
We all did.
But then you started
drinking and everything went
to hell and...
Sorry, I shouldn't
have said that.
No, no, you are right,
just like everyone else.
It's okay, Luke.
You did the best you could.
Yeah.
Yeah, I did.
Just wasn't good enough.
You were always
good enough for me.
Thank you for always
being you, Chey.
Thank you.
Find anything on Cressman?
No.
He's clean.
He's just a CPA, works
as a courier for Morris.
A courier?
So maybe money laundering?
What about the girl?
She called him
on a burner phone.
Any ID?
No.
Dawn could be a madeup
name, for all we know.
The only other number he
called on his last day was
to an attorney.
Kitcher Morris?
Yeah.
How'd you know?
Ah.
If you'd really done
your homework, Sheriff,
you would know that Morris
is a pretty shady character.
He's lost his bar
license three times now.
Well, let's find
this sketchy character,
bring him in, and question him.
Aye, aye, Captain.
Johnny, stop.
John.
Deputy Sites, stop!
That is an order.
-What do you want?
-We need to talk.
About?
About this.
This is me clocking off.
What's your problem, John?
-Hey!
-You. You're my problem.
I'm sick of your
stinking attitude
and we got a job
to do back there.
Oh, you picked up on
my attitude, did ya?
Congratulations, Sherlock.
Well done.
-Don't do that.
-All right, fine.
You wanna do this?
You're full of sh*t, Luke.
You're full of sh*t.
You always have been, okay?
Come on.
More, come on.
You know you'd have been
kicked off the force years ago,
if it weren't for me.
Okay, hell, you
wouldn't have made it
through basic academy.
What does that have
to do with anything?
Everything!
You almost shot a kid.
A kid.
Because you're a loose cannon.
-He pulled a g*n on me.
-Yeah, I had it under control.
But you, Mr. Big
Shot, had to step in.
I was doing my job.
Well, congratulations.
Yes.
You were doing your job.
You shot a kid and
got no answers.
Yeah. But hey, you did your
job though, right?
If you wanted to do it
well, you would use this.
I don't know how the
hell that ended up there.
So that's what
this is all about.
What makes you
think you earned it?
Oh, but you did?
You did, Mr. Big City Cop?
You are nothing but a drunk
with a shitload of luck, man.
But me, I have been here
for the past 15 f*cking
years earning it.
You don't understand.
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
I do not understand.
I don't know how you can just
coast through everything,
and yet here I am staring
at the new sheriff.
You done?
You're gonna get us
both k*lled one day.
You know what?
You're right.
You're right.
I screwed things up,
but I'm trying my best
to make things right.
And I was an alcoholic.
Been sober for 10
years, and I struggle
with it every single day.
And I don't know why
I was appointed this,
but I'm doing my best.
But John, I can't do
this without you, okay?
So please, just help me out.
Mmm.
You always pull sh*t like this.
I'm not trying
to pull anything. Okay?
This is coming from
the heart, right here.
Just what you were
talking about.
We'll see.
You're a good girl.
Mmm.
Yeah, I love you.
Go play.
John.
We just got a break.
Morris.
Send a squad car
tomorrow and pick him up.
Bring him in.
Just don't push
him, all right?
We gotta get what we need.
I know what to do.
Mr. Morris.
Take a seat.
Now I'm Sheriff Luke Easton.
What do you want, Sheriff?
I just want to
have a little chat.
I'm not saying anything.
I know my rights.
Okay.
Yeah, sure.
I can go first.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
No?
Would five million
jog your memory?
Now, I am new here,
but I'm pretty sure
whoever's money that
is will want it back.
Where's Cressman?
Byron Cressman?
He's dead.
What?
Yeah, I know.
I really wanted to ask him
what the money was for,
but obviously I can't.
So I'm hoping you
will help me out.
Tell me, why is an
accountant from Arizona
driving across state lines
alone with a bag full of money?
He was just someone
I hired, a nobody,
a courier to pick
up a nothing package
and deliver to a no-name client.
I need that money.
My family's in danger.
You know who this woman is?
Just some girl
Cressman was f*cking.
Do you know where she is now?
No.
I got an idea.
Take a look.
Is that enough?
Well, let's run this through.
We have a suicide,
we have a m*rder,
and we have a very
expensive package.
And you know what's
best about all that?
You were the last
person Cressman called.
I want my lawyer.
You want a lawyer.
Lawyer.
He wants a lawyer.
Who was the money for?
Who the money was for?
-Tell me.
-Jesus.
Who was
the money going to?
Can't keep his sh*t together.
I don't know.
Tell me who the girl is!
Tell me!
Whoa.
Jesus, Luke.
He has information
that we need.
Okay, fine.
Calm down.
Morris, Morris, Morris.
You know, if I were you, I would
just start talking,
because, you know,
avoid the big guy.
We're gonna have to charge you
as an accessory to m*rder, but-
m*rder.
Yeah, m*rder.
Dead girl.
You can't do that.
I didn't k*ll anyone.
Maybe.
But by the time we verify that,
word'll get out that you
are a person of interest
in a m*rder investigation.
By chance, if any of your
associates were involved,
that could mean trouble for you.
You can't do that.
Read.
We're gonna go ahead
and book Morris here.
-What?
-Yeah. Right now.
-Wait!
-Let's do it.
Hold on.
Unless you got
something to say to us.
Right, all right.
Okay, so,
who was Cressman supposed
to deliver the money to?
Danes.
Jack Danes.
Jack Danes.
Why does that name
sound familiar?
You don't wanna know.
Just stay far away, if
you know what's good
for you, Sheriff.
What was the money for?
I don't know.
I'm just a middleman.
I make arrangements with
couriers to deliver packages
to my clients.
I don't ask questions.
And why was this
instance different?
Cressman didn't show at
a drop off for a package,
and they called me.
Okay, well, call Danes.
Set up another delivery.
I can't do that.
He'll k*ll me if he
knows I set him up.
Do it.
Uh, I gotta take this.
Sweetie, you can't let
him do this to you anymore.
What's up, Chey?
Laura, this is Sheriff Easton.
He's here to help you.
Hi, Laura.
Her boyfriend
beat her up again.
He's been abusing her for years.
Laura, I'm gonna need you
to file a police report.
I can't do anything
unless we bring him in
and we press charges.
Can you do that?
I can't.
He'll hurt me again.
Then we'll find you a
permanent place to stay, okay?
I can't do this right now.
Laura, please.
-Laura, please.
-I can't.
-I'm sorry.
-Don't go home.
Should I go after her?
No.
Sorry.
The only thing we can do now
is pray she doesn't
go back home to him.
Do you know the
boyfriend's name?
She wouldn't tell me.
I'm sorry I got you
involved in all this.
Chey, I'm here to help, okay?
You're doing amazing work, okay?
Come here.
Who are you?
Who are you?
I'm the man with the money.
Where's Cressman?
He's having some
girl troubles.
Toss it over here.
How about I trade this
bag for some answers?
How about I sh**t
you and take the bag?
You could.
Are you a cop k*ller?
I don't have time for this.
So you've got 'til I walk
all the way over there
to ask your stupid questions,
and then I'm taking the money.
Do you know anything
about the girl Cressman's
been hanging out with?
No.
Next question.
Can I show you a photo?
Running out of room.
Ring a bell?
Nope.
Time's up.
Now give me the g*dd*mn bag.
Son of a b*tch.
Check it.
He f*cked us.
You know what?
I am a cop k*ller.
Light him up!
How'd you
know I'd be here?
Heard it on the scanners.
There was at least five of
them, got maybe two or three.
Can we just call in
the FBI now, please?
There's no time for that.
We don't know how far
this thing goes up.
sh*t, the fact that Morris
is involved is not a good sign.
Why is that?
Why?
You know what?
Sheriff Pikes asked
that same damn thing.
Your predecessor.
He asked too many
questions, got in too deep,
and he disappeared
without a trace.
So...
Look, all roads lead to Morris.
I need to find out
who that girl is.
Why, man?
Why? What's so important
about the girl?
Look, son, you've been
through this before,
and I can't imagine the
sh*t you're going through.
Just stop this craziness before
you get yourself k*lled.
You can't keep blaming yourself.
Look, I need to see
this through, guys.
All right.
Sure.
Yeah?
You have
been pretty busy, Luke.
Took out one of my best guys,
and you still have my money.
Surely you're not
attempting to keep it.
And who's this?
The man who's
gonna have you k*lled
if I don't get back what's
mine.
Mr. Danes?
So you've heard of me.
Look, I don't care
about your money.
Well then, I would appreciate
you returning my money
to me promptly, and I will
gladly pay whatever fee
you have once you
complete delivery.
-Sure.
-On one condition.
-Oh, I don't negotiate, Luke.
Especially with low rent
sheriffs like yourself.
I have bought and
paid for more of you
and your kind than
you'll never know.
Deliver the bag
tomorrow morning,
or I'll be forced to come and
take it from you personally.
Mmm.
Danes.
He's a piece of work.
That's how we deal with rats.
Danes, what do you want?
Well, as much as I'd
love to say that I'm here
to enjoy the ambiance, that is
most definitely not the case.
Here to offer you a job, Craft.
I have a job.
And you have a lot of debt.
And I told you
I'd pay you back.
This job will clear your debt.
100 percent?
100 percent.
I'm listening.
I need you to pick
up a package for me.
What's in this package?
Are you being serious?
I need you to bring
me my package,
k*ll the lowlife
who took it from me.
Why me?
Why not your big monkey here?
Sit your a*s down before
I put you to sleep.
Come on now, boys.
Let's not get all
soiled over this.
You do this
simple job for me,
and I'll even throw
in an extra 50K,
when you deliver the package,
and you bring me his head.
Who is this low life?
Does it matter?
Deal.
Cute.
Smart man, Craft.
Boyd will send you the details.
You trust that f*ck?
No.
But he's expendable.
Boyd, you are not.
What was that
about, Uncle Ezra?
Is everything all right?
Yeah, it's fine.
Just fine.
Ready to get wet, kid?
I don't know.
What do I have to do?
You always wanted to
be an outlaw, make money.
Now's your chance.
Or you can sit here
and be a broke-a*s
the rest of your life.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Cheers to that.
-Ah.
-Come on, kid.
You can finish the rest of this.
Get your sh*t. Get the
hell out of here.
Go for Read.
Mmm.
Okay, I got you.
I'll meet you there.
How come I gotta do the digging?
One shovel.
It's all we could find.
You're just so good
at it too, you know?
Unbelievable.
Oh.
g*dd*mn it.
Yeah, I think we found our girl.
All right.
Mr. Carrillo wants to see you.
Who's Mr. Carrillo?
El Jefe.
The boss.
Don't worry.
Just wants to talk.
Uh uh.
La pistola, por favor.
I'm getting that back.
Mmm.
Mr. Easton, please come on in.
Have a seat.
Do I have a choice?
We all have choices, Sheriff.
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Fernando Carrillo,
and I run the Juarez cartel.
You're a little out of
your territory, aren't you?
Yes and no.
Perro.
Now you're not one of
those vegans, right?
'Cause let me tell
you something.
Steaks here, they're incredible.
Nothing like my carne
asada back home,
but as you might guess,
I run a very important
import, export business.
And in my line of work, I
gotta come across the border
from time to time
to clean up messes.
What's this have
to do with me?
You have something
that belongs to me.
Please go ahead.
Eat.
We can eat and talk.
I'll take great personal offense
if you don't share
this meal with me.
It seems like we have
a mutual acquaintance
in Kitcher Morris.
Morris.
He's been the conduit to
my business interests here
in the states.
At least he was until he and
Danes decided to steal from me.
Like two greedy pigs,
they wanted more.
So they tried to pay for my
merchandise with my own money.
What kind of merchandise?
What do you think
I sell, Sheriff?
Mexican candies?
So let me get this straight.
They buy your merchandise
with the laundered money
they stole from you.
He worked with the courier.
Cressman.
You know him?
I know he's dead.
Well, he had some money
that belonged to me.
But just like the rest of them,
he also got greedy and stupid.
Stupid?
He was actually trying to
steal the money from Danes
that Danes was stealing from me.
Why would he risk that?
He fell in love
with one of my girls.
Dawn.
She was one of my best girls.
I took her in when she
was young enough to groom.
And after everything
I did for her,
she never really
liked turning tricks,
so she talked Cressman
into taking money, my money
and running away with her.
What happened to her?
I couldn't let her
get away with it.
She wanted out.
So I let her out.
Permanently.
Why are you telling me this?
You will get me back my money
and help me get rid of Danes.
And I'll let you live.
And what makes you
think I'll work for you?
Well, as I said before,
we all have choices, Sheriff.
I'll call you tomorrow
to make arrangements.
Now, Perro.
Pistola.
Vamanos.
Yeah.
On my way.
-Yeah.
-What is it?
Um...
We found her.
Sara.
Yeah, she was in
a shallow grave.
Now they're gonna do an autopsy,
but they think asphyxiation.
I'm sorry.
My Sara?
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Where is she?
She's at the morgue.
f*ck.
Take all the time you need.
Oh.
Oh.
I'm so sorry.
I should have went with you.
I should have been there.
They
think asphyxiation.
Uncle Barnes.
-Luke.
-Hey.
Don't you touch that g*n, son.
Howdy, Sheriff.
Who the hell are you?
I'm the collector.
You got something we want.
They want the money, Luke.
Make this easy for
yourself, Sheriff.
Give us the money, and
we'll let you two go.
I don't have it on me.
Well then, where is it at?
It's somewhere safe.
Hey. Okay.
I'll take you to it, okay?
Let's just sh**t this
old cowboy right here.
Bernie, I told you
to shut the hell up.
I got this.
Now, you're gonna take us to
the money or we'll k*ll you.
Okay, fine.
Just a few miles away from here.
Good.
I'm gonna take my car.
Okay.
We'll take your car.
Now.
No one has to die here, son.
Just give us the money.
Barnes, you okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Get this car moving, kid!
Come on.
Hey, Uncle Barnes.
You okay?
Yeah, just a scratch.
Do you want me to
put a bandage on it?
Oh hell no, I'll be fine.
-Find out anything?
-It was a rental car,
fake plates.
Uncle Barnes, I can't
let you go back home
'til this blows over.
Aw, bullshit.
They're after you, not me.
They don't care who gets hurt.
My only leverage is the
money and it's safe for now.
Well, maybe give it back
and get the sh*t over with.
I can't.
Look, Chey, do me a favor.
Take Uncle Barnes
and get out of town
for a couple of days.
Go to LA.
I have some contacts there.
-You got it?
-No, no, no.
I'm not running away like some-
Yes, Uncle.
You were there.
You saw what happened.
I need to do this by myself.
I can't risk you guys.
But I can help you.
No, you can't.
Chey, do this for me, okay?
Okay.
Thank you.
Can I at least go back to my
house, pick up a few things?
No, you can't.
Yes.
Make it quick.
Okay?
Faster than a rabbit
with his tail on fire.
I'll send Deputy
Read with you.
Deputy Read.
He needs to switch to decaf.
Yeah, talk to me.
Uh huh.
That's good.
Don't worry about it.
I won't hurt him.
I just want to get my
money and deal with Danes.
That's it.
I said not
to worry about it.
Right?
f*ck.
Put the phone down.
A man in his 50s
covered in tattoos
with a 20-something-year-old
sidekick.
What?
Don't play games with me.
Two guys came after me.
Are they a part of Dane's crew?
I don't know if they're
part of Dane's crew,
but I think I know who they are.
Good.
Call Danes.
-No, I-
- Call him.
Craft screwed up.
You don't think I know that?
Give me the phone.
Morris.
Hello?
Danes, it's Sheriff Easton.
Put Morris back on.
Shut up.
All right, listen to me now.
I'll give you your money in
exchange for some information.
Let's not do this
over the phone.
Let's meet in person.
The Old Grand Hotel.
And bring me my money.
My phone?
You just signed your own
death certificate, Sheriff!
Chloe?
Chloe!
Chloe?
Here you go.
Oh.
Oh, there you are.
Oh.
Let's go.
Hey, Barnes, we're loading up!
Giddy up!
Be right out.
I want you to take
that son of a b*tch out
once you have the cash.
He does not leave
my hotel alive.
Do your thing, Boyd.
You got it, Boss.
Barnes, Cheyenne?
What happened?
Man, I heard her scream and
then everything went dark.
Craft's got Chey.
Danes.
You son of a b*tch.
-I swear-
- Howdy, Sheriff.
If you hurt her, I
will k*ll you, Danes.
Oh, whoa, whoa.
I just needed a little
insurance policy
to make sure you didn't
do something stupid.
I have your money!
Well, you have
nothing to worry about.
As promised, I'm at
the Old Grand Hotel.
Be here in an hour.
Or, you know the rest.
Damn it.
What are you gonna do?
What the
hell is going on?
They got her, John.
Who?
Cheyenne. Danes took her.
sh*t.
I'm going after her.
Yeah, let's do this.
Let's go.
Old Grand Hotel.
Got it.
We're gonna
have fun tonight.
I'll collect my money and get
rid of the thorn in my side.
Sit down.
You don't know Luke.
He's gonna come after you.
Yeah, right.
Danes has an army waiting
out there for him.
That's not gonna stop him.
You see the
firepower Danes has?
Yeah.
You're right, Uncle.
This b*tch is just trying
to mess with our heads.
You hear him, b*tch?
Your boyfriend's one
dead m*therf*cker.
That was one
hell of a night, man.
Woo!
Hey.
I have all the money for Danes.
Here, take it.
You'll be a hero.
Whoa, sorry, man.
Ooh, that's too bad.
I'll take that.
Where's the girl?
Where is she?
Where did they take her?
Huh?
I can do this sh*t all day.
Where did they take the girl?
Ah, ah.
Third floor.
End of the hall.
See, that wasn't so hard.
Go get the girl.
Christ.
What was that?
You stay here.
Where are you going?
You stay here with her.
Okay?
Sit down.
That little
girlfriend of yours.
Yeah, she's dead by now.
You are too late.
sh*t!
Hey!
You came for me.
Of course.
Let's go.
Come on.
Look who it is.
The man of the hour.
And I'm supposed to get that
money before I k*ll you.
I don't give a damn
about that money.
That makes two of us.
Face it, Sheriff.
It's over.
If you say so.
Hello, big guy.
Where's my money, Luke?
Is that you, Fernando?
Gotta protect my investment.
Very stupid of you to
make a deal with Danes
with my money.
I don't give a
damn about the money.
It's not yours.
Where is it?
How'd you even
know I was here?
I know everything.
I want my f*ck'
money, Sheriff!
Not your f*cking money, Danes!
Danes!
Cheyenne.
Danes!
Alright, you stupid b*tch.
This could've been so easy.
Calm down.
Calm down.
Okay.
Okay.
All I wanted was
the g*dd*mn money.
Move!
Danes!
Come on, come on.
Danes!
-Danes!
-Sheriff!
Don't make me k*ll
your girlfriend.
You have been a
royal pain in my a*s.
At least you brought my money.
It's all here, okay?
Now let her go.
Here's the deal.
Put the bag down, walk away.
Then I'll let her go.
I don't want to hurt her.
I just want my money.
Okay.
Don't do anything stupid.
Good.
Good hero.
Be a good boy.
Uh huh.
Keep going.
Hey, while you're
down there...
Catch!
Hello, Danes.
We had a deal.
The f*cking money you
stole from me, as*h*le.
My money.
Your money?
Huh?
Your money?
Chey, I got you!
I got you.
Trust me.
Let go.
Let go.
I got you.
Trust me.
Let go!
Oh!
I got you.
I got you.
I thought I lost you.
Come on.
Stop right there!
You gotta be
f*cking kidding me.
Now what?
I can't just
let you walk away.
You k*lled my sister.
Your sister?
The girl you call Dawn.
You took her from me.
I had no idea.
It was just business.
You kidnapped her.
You turned her
into a prost*tute,
you m*rder*d her,
and then you buried her like
she was a little rag doll.
I never intended
for her to die.
I had my orders.
Orders?
What orders?
Uncle Barnes?
That son of a b*tch
was gonna k*ll you.
Told you I'd keep
an eye on you, boy.
How'd you know we were here?
Well, I followed you.
Let's go.
He k*lled Sara.
He said he was only
following orders.
Hell, he ran the cartel.
Who's he gonna be
taking orders from?
How'd he know I'd be
here with the money?
Must've put a tail
on you, I suppose.
No, there was no tail.
I would've known.
-How'd you know I'd be here?
-I heard it on the scanners.
It was you.
What are you talking about?
You did all this.
Look, Luke, we got the money.
You got the bad guys.
Congratulations, Sheriff.
You did a good job.
Fernando worked for you.
Luke.
You just took down two
notorious criminals.
You're a hero now, not
some washed up drunk
that left the town
high and dry years ago.
Listen to me, let it go.
Why did you k*ll him?
Because you didn't.
The truth, Barnes.
Okay, the truth.
The truth is Fernando
couldn't handle himself,
so I had to handle it for him.
He's not the only
crime boss in Mexico.
I'm gonna need somebody to
run things for me around here.
I can set you up
like I did with him.
Never.
b*stard!
Why couldn't you leave it alone?
Why, Barnes?
Why, why, why?
Why does anybody do anything
in this world, Luke?
Greed.
What's the saying?
"Greed is good?"
This is my county.
I own this damn place,
and it was my money
you were messing with.
Why is it always about money?
What about Sara's life?
Didn't she matter?
I loved Sara.
By the time I found
out Fernando'd had her,
she was in too deep.
Strung out and working for him.
I almost k*lled Fernando
for what he done.
There's still a
way out for you.
You don't have to do this.
Oh, really?
Just surrender to you, huh?
And then what?
Spend the rest of my life
in a cage like an animal?
No, Luke.
I can't do that.
sh*t!
Barnes Easton,
you're under arrest.
You have the right
to remain silent.
You son of a-
Took you long enough.
Yeah, well.
Thanks.
You had my back.
Laura, give me a beer.
Laura, beer!
I'm sorry, I forgot, Joey.
You forgot?
How many times I tell you
yesterday we were running low?
I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
Oh, well
You stay right there.
Now.
What?
What the hell are you doing?
Call the police.
I am the police.
Joey Esposito, you
are under arrest
for as*ault and battery.
What'd you do?
What'd you tell them?
Deputy Falcon,
read him his rights.
Laura, please.
Don't let them take me in.
It's over, Joey.
I'm done.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
I don't want to go to jail.
Thank you so much, Sheriff.
I didn't know what to do.
I was so scared
for me and my baby.
Just doing my job.
Looks like you got some mail.
I don't know.
It's all right, baby.
Go ahead.
Open it.
Oh, my god.
This can't be mine.
It says your name.
Maybe the big guy
upstairs wants you
to have a fresh start.
A fresh start?
This is a new life.
Look at this.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
You're an amazing mom.
You deserve it.
Yes?
Is that for me?
Oh, thank you so much.
I can have this?
Oh, thank you, Nicoly.
Bye.
All right.
You guys be well.
I'll see you around town.
Thank you.
-You good to go?
-Let's do it.
All right,
let's take off.
And this belongs to you now.
Mmm.
Don't mind if I do.
Looks pretty good on you.
Yeah, I couldn't agree more.
I got your back, Sheriff.
I got yours.
Good luck.
Oh, hey, I think
you forgot your fish.
Goldie's all yours now.
I'm sorry, Sara.
I love you always and forever.
Sorry I wasn't there for you
when you needed me the most.
You okay?
Yeah.
Closure is always bittersweet.
Ain't that the truth.
We can stay.
No, no.
I'm ready to close
the chapter here.
Trust me.
Trust you?
Same ol' Chey!
