What the hell is that?!

Who's there?!

Aah!

Whoa! Hold the elevator!

Please, please. Oh.

- Just in time.

- Yeah. Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Wait.

That's Lawrence.

Wait, Lawrence Lawrence?

What? Hold on.

Todd, I'm doing my community service.

We're not supposed to be on our phones.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. C-can you hear me?

I'm in an elevator.

This is really important.

Then call 911, not

the convicted criminal

picking up trash on

the side of the highway.

Why is Lawrence here at my building?

Oh, your building. Okay.

This is his building.

Are you kidding me?

This is not an emergency.

Todd, I got to go.

Bye.

- Hey, Marg.

- Ah!

See?

- I can do casual Friday.

- Mm-hmm.

I bought them just for today.

- Oh, wow.

- What?

Is it too casual?

No, it's fine. Your son is here.

Oh. Great.

What did Todd wear for

casual Friday a bathrobe?

No, no, Margaret, your other son.

Mother.

Lawrence. Oh!

What a pleasure. Oh.

Are you here for lunch?

No, I'm here on official business.

Oh. Go for clear. Sweep it up.

- Do you have a moment?

- Oh, well, yes, of course.

The governor would like to speak to you

about a private matter.

She's looking for some legal

assistance outside the sphere

of her normal advisors.

Since she did a favor for you

- on Thanksgiving

- Oh, well, I would be thrilled

to return the favor.

- When will the governor arrive?

- Right now.

Oh. Oh, my God. I'm

I'm wearing Crocs.

Hello. Hello.

Uh, what a pleasure.

I voted for you. Hello.

Margaret Wright, a pleasure to finally

meet the woman who made Lawrence

the outstanding man he is today.

Might there be a more discrete

room for us to speak in?

Oh, yes, of course. Uh, Francey,

uh, the governor.

- Please take her to the conference room.

- Right this way.

The big one, the big one! Yeah, okay.

Okay.

Please have a seat.

Oh.

Yes, of course.

How can I be of service?

As a mother of three

children, I'm guessing

you have a general understanding

of complicated family dynamics.

Yes.

It's my sister, Debby.

She's always been the problem child.

Could never hold a job,

always needed money,

constantly in a mess of trouble and then

expecting me to sweep in and fix it.

I understand completely.

When our grandmother d*ed, she

left her farm in McMinnville to us.

We share ownership.

I was never interested in the farm,

but Debby wanted to live

there and work the land.

I thought it would be a disaster, but

Debby got sober and

did it. For ten years,

she was stable,

financially and emotionally.

But something has recently changed?

I'm worried that she's backsliding.

Ah-ha. How can I help?

From what I can gather,

there's a man squatting on our land

and he's causing problems.

I don't know what their

relationship is, but I need

him removed from the property,

legally, officially, and quietly.

It sounds simple enough.

Not really.

Apparently, the man is a veteran.

Oh, I understand. That is sensitive.

Exactly. And I can't have the

press finding out about this

and turning it into

some sort of scandal.

I will meet with her,

assess the situation,

de-escalate any conflict

and handle the eviction

myself, discreetly.

Thank you.

And may I ask,

- where did you get this gorgeous scarf?

- Oh.

I'm so glad that you did ask.

Nothing of note, but we did detain

a suspicious character

attempting to breach.

He seems unhinged.

Yes, hi, hey. Good to see you.

Can you please tell

her that I work here?

- I'll handle it. You can take five.

- Okay.

Yeah, take five. See? He is my brother.

Your fellow robots are super kind.

Where do I get one of these little

mini pincer-cutter things?

- Mini Leatherman?

- Yeah.

No idea.

Mother and the governor

should be done shortly.

This is what you wear to work?

It's casual Friday.

Wait, the governor's here for Mom?

Wow. So, should I not detonate my b*mb

until after the governor leaves?

Do not joke about B-O-M-B-S'.

- What, about bombs?

- Oh, there you are.

My boys.

Don't worry, I'm his mother.

So, I have just had

the most brilliant little

chat with the governor,

- and I think we can help her out.

- With what?

No. No.

I don't want Todd We-we don't

The governor and I

The State of Oregon

You're speaking for the

entire state of Oregon now?

would prefer that Todd not

be involved in this situation.

Lawrence, Todd works

here as an investigator.

- Yes, thank you.

- It's the governor. My boss.

Understood.

- Wow, just like that?

- What? No, no, Todd, it's okay.

You'll have plenty of time

to get to know the governor.

- He will?

- I will?

Yes. I've invited her to dinner.

First the mayor,

now the governor. What's next?

I'm sure the king's coronation

is right around the corner.

Oh, boy.

Well, she's not answering her phone,

and Debby's not at the house.

I mean, what can you possibly do

on a farm like this in the winter?

- You said 50 acres?

- Uh-huh.

A place this size, she

could be off tending

to any number of chores.

I mean, even winterizing

her blueberries.

What do you know about farms, Lyle?

Get down! Get down!

Don't sh**t!

I'm attorney Margaret Wright

and I'm here to help you.

- You, you're going.

- Oh

- And this is Lyle Burton.

- Hi. H hey, I'm Lyle.

He works for me.

This is my son, Todd,

who clearly followed us here,

but is not supposed to be here.

Yeah, but only 'cause

my brother's a jerk

and he won't let me live my life.

Why are you trespassing on my land?

Uh, w-we're here to help you.

Your-your sister sent us.

Your s-sister Willa.

She said

- Uh that

- She's got a bat.

I see the bat.

That-that you-you need

help evicting someone.

Yeah. I do.

Wait, these speakers

you were just projecting

the sound of g*nf*re?

- This was all fake?

- I don't want to hurt anyone.

I'm just trying to keep

me and my land safe.

Safe from who?

I have no idea.

But somebody is watching me,

terrorizing me,

leaving dead squirrels

inside of my house.

There's these buzzing sounds

- and and lights in the sky.

- Oh, so, aliens.

Close encounters type

stuff, UFOs, little grey men?

See, this is why you weren't invited.

I don't even believe in UFOs,

but I am seeing something.

And do you think that

this-this tenant

the one that your sister told us about,

the one that you want to evict

do you think that he's

trying to frighten you?

I hate to think that it's Ben.

We met in rehab. I-I'm still sober,

but he hit a rough patch,

and he asked me if he

could crash in my RV,

and I said yes if he pays rent,

but he hasn't. Not a dime.

Did you make him sign a lease?

I should have,

but, you know, he's been through a lot.

I would have let him stay here for free,

but I make ends meet on this

farm by renting out that RV.

- Did you ask him to leave?

- Yes.

He got really angry

and he went off on me.

Honestly, I was afraid.

So, Ben is squatting on

your property, rent-free.

So, we've already drawn up a notice

to quit, and your sister,

the governor, has-has signed it.

- Lyle, pen.

- Oh.

Here, I'll take the bat.

If he is harassing you

and causing difficulties, it just makes

our job that much easier.

Yeah.

- Okay.

- Okay?

Yeah. But when you do it,

please be careful.

I have no idea what he's

capable of right now.

That's all right, I have experience,

lots of experience,

with difficult people.

Plenty of experience.

They're talking about my brother.

Mm.

Then don't tell him I was with you.

I mean, since when does

Lawrence get to dictate

your and my career?

I don't know, since his boss

the governor became our client?

He has a point, Todd.

Can you believe I was wearing Crocs?

Anyway, Debby is

clearly being terrorized

by something or someone.

I hate to say it, but flying lights,

spooky sounds is it possible

Debby is imagining this?

I still think it could be aliens.

I mean, these are the

exact types of places

aliens would strike.

Little grey guys with

those big black eyes.

What? They're not gr First of all,

they're tall, elongated, green.

Oh, don't be absurd. If aliens do come,

maybe they'll be like

that handsome young man

- Jeff Bridgerton in the Starman movie.

- Jeff Bridges.

And, oh, my gosh, and when

he left her at the end,

- and she's pregnant

- Well, excuse me.

Thank you. Spoiler.

- Must be the place.

- Okay, if this doesn't go well

- I've got your back.

- I've got you covered.

- I got her back.

- I got her covered.

- She's my mom!

- You're not even supposed to be here.

What do you You do

not have my mom's back.

I've got-I've got it.

Mr. Ben Cooper?

That's me. What do you want?

I'm Margaret Wright,

representing Debby Jones.

I'm serving you notice to quit.

You're serving me?

Yes, you have three days

to vacate the property.

Wow.

You can tell Debby that she's a traitor,

and I'm not leaving

until I'm back on my

feet, like we agreed.

Uh, hey, man.

See your patch. Thank

you for your service.

What do you care?

Air Force.

Whatever, flyboy.

The fact that I served doesn't

really change this, though, does it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, pipe down

flyboy. So, have you seen

anything strange at night?

Like weird lights or flying things?

What are you talking about?

Now you're calling me crazy.

Why don't you go ask those

weirdos Sarah and Joe.

Sarah and Joe?

Yeah, the neighbors. They're kooky.

Probably find them at their

mushroom booth at the farmer's market.

And you can tell Debby

thanks for nothing.

These are beautiful.

Oh, oh, I can't believe you have

them so fresh at this time of year.

There's the mushroom stand.

Okay, great.

Well, there's the neighbors.

Let's go see what they know about these

"extraterrestrial" beings in the night.

Wait, these mushrooms

are magic mushrooms?

Okay, now it'll be weird

if they haven't seen aliens.

- Hi, there.

- Hey.

Welcome to Pure Mind Trip.

- Welcome.

- I'm Sarah. This is my husband Joe.

- Hi.

- Can we answer any questions that you might have?

Yes, actually.

It's just amazing that all of

this is legal now in Oregon.

Psychedelic mushrooms are 100% legal.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Um

- Cosmic Morning.

- Oh, it's one of our best.

It will start you on a journey

to truly transform your life.

And-and you can do it by yourself,

but it's even better with a guide.

Which is also a service we provide,

if you're interested.

No. No, thank you, not today.

No transforming today.

Uh, I'm Margaret

Wright. I'm an attorney.

And we're actually here to talk to you

about your neighbor, Ben Cooper.

He did mention that he

and his landlord, Debby,

have had a tough time.

- I guess she

- Yeah.

asked him to leave,

and it got

heated.

And that lines up,

which is exactly why we're here today.

I hate to say it, but it

probably is for the best

if he goes, uh, with that temper of his.

We need to foster a tranquil

atmosphere up here for our clients.

For the healing.

For the healing, right.

And these guided trips

they're on your farm?

Yes. People are eating it up, literally.

- 'Cause mushrooms, Lyle.

- Yeah.

It's like the gold rush up here.

- We can't grow mushrooms fast enough.

- My love,

we do have a client Zoom in two.

Yeah, but thank you

so much for coming by.

We would be happy to help you

find your way into

another world someday.

You never know what you might find

- Mm-hmm.

- inside.

Inside.

Oh, uh, thank you very much,

and we will be in touch.

Okay, lovely.

Freak shows masquerading

as self-help gurus?

- No, thank you very much.

- I know,

crazy, right? They probably think aliens

are tall, elongated, green, wet.

- I didn't say wet. They're not wet.

- Oh.

- You kind of

- Todd, I need you to go get Allison

from her volunteer work.

- What? I thought you were picking her up.

- Well, I was,

but Lyle and I have

to go to the courthouse

to get Debby's property deeds.

- Todd, here's lunch.

- No, that's not food.

- No, I

- Todd.

Actually pretty good.

Okay, I'll be right back.

Looks like it's starting to snow again.

I'm gonna go get the car

and get some kettle corn.

Oh. Get me some, too.

How about I read your palm?

Oh No, thank you.

- I I don't believe in that stuff.

- Why not?

It's fun.

We all need a little fun, right?

Oh. Well, um

Okay. Fun. That sounds good.

Uh, but I'm only paying five dollars.

Oh, no charge.

Ah

Someone broke your heart.

Abandoned you.

Hurtful things were said.

As they are in every

relationship break-up.

Sometimes we carry that hurt

longer than we should.

It's blocking you.

Uh that's nonsense.

I'm not blocked. Nothing is blocking me.

Here. Take this.

When you're ready,

use this charm to remove your block,

and it will bring you

your heart's desire.

Oh, um

Thank you for your time and for this.

Even though it is nonsense.

Just gonna

Thank you.

Thank you for picking me up,

but I did not need the honk.

Yeah, well

Sorry, I'm just trying to deliver you

from your trash situation

in a timely manner,

and now I got Lawrence on my back

trying to state-mandate my job from me.

- He's trying to get you fired?

- Basically.

He doesn't trust me to

work on the governor's

sister's alien abduction psychedelic

mushroom case in McMinnville.

That is a group of words

never before strung together.

Like I'm gonna humiliate him somehow.

I mean, you're the criminal

on the side of the road

picking up trash in a

highlighter yellow vest.

You look insane, by the way.

Thank you, thank you so much.

That is exactly the cherry that

I needed on the cake of today.

Someone in a passing car threw

a full Slurpee at my head.

- What?

- A blue one.

Also, I don't want Lawrence

to know I was arrested.

Oh, yeah, sure. I'll just

continue to keep your secrets.

Either way, I'm sure

he'll totally accept you

for who you are,

criminal behavior and all.

I mean, he just loves things

that could potentially embarrass him

and ruin his political future, so

If he does run for governor

someday, are we gonna support him?

- No.

- Yes.

- No.

- Yes!

- Are you joking?

- Are you kidding me?

Oh, my God.

You want to wear red, white, and blue

for the rest of your life?

No, I will wear Oregon state colors.

Great. Get in the car.

If Ben won't vacate,

we need to be prepared to evict.

So let's confirm proper

ownership with the deed,

get a clear idea of where

the property lines are

and where the RV is located.

This is the map of the farm.

- It's expansive.

- Mm-hmm. The RV is located here.

- Mm-hmm.

- Well within property boundaries.

And here is the deed.

Okay. Well

What is this?

It looks like somebody

filed a lis pendens.

Property law terms are

outside my realm of expertise.

It means someone filed a lawsuit

and put a lien on the property.

Do you think the lawsuit and

the scare tactics are related?

I think somebody's trying to

take possession of the farm.

We need to figure out

who filed this lawsuit.

Looks like someone figured

out it's gonna take a lot more

than dead squirrels to

scare her off the property.

Mm-hmm. Ah.

Here she is. Hi, Debby.

- We were just talking

- It's burning.

Wait. What is burning?

Margaret, my farm is on fire.

Oh, my God.

Margaret, my farm is on fire!

Debby, are you okay?

I Yeah, I'm fine.

Oh, my gosh.

Who could have done this? This is arson.

I know Ben has been angry ever

since I asked him to leave,

but I never thought that he

would do something like this.

- Ma'am, are you the farm owner?

- Yes.

I own the farm. Why?

In the structure that b*rned down,

we found remnants of

drug-cooking material,

as well as this metal box

containing methamphetamine.

- Oh, my gosh. Do you know how that got there?

- No.

Those are not mine. Listen, when

my sister let merun this farm,

it literally saved my life. I

would not risk that for anything.

- Are you Debby Jones?

- Yes, I'm Debby Jones.

You're under arrest for felony

possession of a controlled substance.

- Uh, no, that is not true. I am clean.

- Wait, wait

Margaret, listen to me. I am clean.

You have the right to remain silent.

I have nothing to do with this.

I will follow you to the station.

Don't say a word until I get there.

Anything you say can and will be used

against you in a court of law.

- What a disaster.

- Mm-hmm.

But you bailed Debby out of jail?

Yes. Yes, of course.

But we need to get her a hotel

because she's too afraid to

go back to the farm tonight.

And I had to call the governor

and explain all of that to her.

It was humiliating.

I am letting the governor down.

Damn it. There it is.

Can you please file this

bail release form? Thank you.

- What is this?

- Ugh.

It is nonsense.

It's a charm bag.

Some silly psychic gave it to me

to help "bring me what I desire."

Oh, I don't know.

- A psychic once told me I'd meet a cop, and I did.

- Oh.

Well, this charlatan

told me that I am blocked.

- Blocked? You're not blocked.

- Blocked.

- I am not blocked.

- No.

I am free to get what I desire.

And what I desire is to figure out

who is intimidating Debby

and what all this nonsense

at the farm at night is all about.

And the only way to do that

is to go back there myself tonight.

And I am brave enough to

do that, and-and nothing

is blocking me from doing that, so

What is going on in my office? Oh.

Oh, thank you.

- I'll get Debby the hotel.

- The hotel.

Who is arguing in there?

You don't get to just bust

in here with the governor's

storm troopers and tell

me how to do my job.

- Okay.

- I work as a detective on Mom's cases.

Not if it involves the

governor. That is my domain.

- Okay? Because I am the chief of staff

- Chief of staff.

And everybody knows and nobody cares.

Just face it, you are

a glorified butler.

- Oh, okay.

- You are like a robot vacuum

- cleaning up the governor's messes.

- What are you, huh?

- What are you, Todd?

- Stop it!

Stop fighting. Good God, they

can hear you on the first floor.

It's like stepping back

into the basement in 2001.

That was him!

That was both of you.

Lawrence, darling, why are you here?

The governor sent me to follow up.

She's upset about the update

on her sister's "situation."

He can't even do air quotes correctly.

Can you please tell this

laptop I'm on the case now?

All right. I am not going to be stopped

by your negative energy.

- Todd.

- Yeah.

You would like to stay on the

case and help me solve it, yes?

- Yeah.

- Great. And Lawrence,

you would like some answers

for your boss, correct?

- Yes.

- Fantastic.

Me too.

I am going to k*ll two

birds with one stone.

- Wait, are we the birds?

- We're the stones.

We're not the stones.

- Are we the stones?

- No.

Here's what we're going to do.

We're going to go on a

mandatory family field trip.

We are going to go get some supplies.

And then we are going out to that farm

and we're going to figure out

what is going on out there,

so help me God.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Okay, that's, like,

really, really mature.

Thank you. Well, the local

police verified Ben's alibi.

- He was at an AA meeting the night of the fire.

- Great.

What's going on outside,

Todd anything yet?

No, nothing. I mean,

maybe this is just a case

of mass hysteria or people

doing too many magic mushrooms.

Have you ever done mushrooms?

Yeah. Like, two and a half times.

Why, have you?

Yes, in college. But it wasn't any fun.

I spent the whole night

cleaning a toaster oven.

- Dinner is almost ready.

- Mmm.

- Thank you, Siri.

- Todd.

When will you two learn

to respect each another?

I am so tired of all of this squabbling.

I mean,

think about the governor and her sister.

They barely talk to one another.

Is that how you two want

to end up once I'm gone?

No.

Well, what do you two want?

- Well, I think it's pretty obvi

- Ah, eldest to youngest.

Lawrence first.

I want world peace.

Oh, great. That's very original.

I want Clem to sleep through

the night in a regular bed.

- That's fair.

- I want to collect

all of these beautiful colors

and put them in my pocket.

Pocket?

I want an enormous,

scratchy tongue.

- What?

- Like a like a like a cat's tongue,

but not attached to a cat,

to fly over the state of Oregon

and lick clean all the people

and all of the

the saltwater taffy from Cannon Beach.

I want this finger

to get along with this finger.

Lawrence, Lawrence, are you all right?

What is wrong with you?

Question for you.

Did you make tea from this box?

- Oh, yeah.

- And you drank this tea?

- Yeah.

- This is the psilocybin mushroom tea

that the weirdo couple makes.

Mom, Lawrence is tripping.

I'm not tripping.

I'm sitting very still.

- Okay.

- Oh.

Oh. Oh, God.

- He has a fever.

- Here you go.

I mean, no, he's gonna be fine.

Um, just don't let him

drink any more of that tea

and make sure he drinks plenty of water.

Oh, wow. Great professional opinion.

I could drink more water.

I could drink an ocean of tears.

I could put Mahatma Gandhi

in my cubby at school.

Can you believe this?

Wow. That's our Lawrence?

Okay, Allison, you do not

need to stay on for this.

You can go now.

No, no, I'm actually enjoying this.

Want to know what I enjoy?

Please tell me, Lawrence.

- My freedom!

- Oh, boy.

- Lawrence.

- Oh.

- Oh.

- Lawrence, Lawrence, Lawrence, okay?

It is me, your mother

and your sister and

And Todd.

Todd gets in trouble, and he

he does stupid things. He's bad.

- Yeah.

- He got arrested. He's a criminal.

He's a criminal. I can't

have criminals in my family.

I'm gonna be the governor

of Oregon one day.

Yes, you are, yes.

- A big, pink governor with arms.

- Yes.

- Yes.

- But Todd likes to embarrass me.

He likes to embarrass

me, and I I just

I just I want him to

I want him I want him to

I want him to

I want him to like me.

What?

You want me to like you?

That was unexpected.

Well, of course he

wants him to like him.

He's his brother.

W-wait, wait, wait. Lawrence,

look at me real quick.

- Yeah.

- You want me to

Someone's pounding on the back door!

It isn't Debby. She's at a hotel.

- Oh.

- Okay.

- You go look.

- Don't push me.

- You look.

- Okay. Uh

- No, I honestly Move, please.

- Shh. You scared me.

What is that?

Can somebody who's not

Lawrence please explain

to me what's going on right now?

- Todd.

- Uh-huh.

Come here. Would you open the door?

Allison, you take care of your brother.

Mom, I'm-I'm on the phone. I

can't I can't do anything.

Okay.

Oh.

- Todd. Did you see anything?

- No. Don't know where they went.

Listen. Listen.

- What is that?

- I don't know.

Oh.

- What is that?

- I don't know.

- It's weird.

- Mom, you're gonna k*ll me,

but I think it's aliens.

- Oh, Todd, it's not aliens.

- No, no, no, I'm telling you.

This is how every alien movie starts

- Todd!

- What?

It is absolutely not aliens.

Oh, my God! We're gonna get abducted.

Mom, it's definitely aliens.

- Wait, wait, wait. Todd, what's that?

- What?

It's a plane.

It's a drone.

It's getting closer.

It's getting closer.

Hold on. Hold on. No.

Aah! It's chasing me!

Todd, come over.

- Come over here, Todd.

- Aah! Oh. Okay. Okay.

What's wrong with you? Todd.

What? Okay.

- Honestly, Mom, I think I can take it.

- What?

I just need a Oh.

- Wait here.

- Go! You take it out.

- Throw it right here.

- Okay.

Okay.

- Throw it!

- No, no, no. Uh

- go long.

- No. What?

- Li like football.

- No, I'm good right here.

- Get it to chase you.

- Todd, I don't want to go long.

- Go, go, go. Just leave.

- Football. I want to go short.

- Just go.

- Would you quite pushing me?!

Oh, I don't want to go long!

Come come back.

L like a button hook.

What?

Football!

Oh! I got it!

- Oh! Yeah!

- Yeah!

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah

So, now we know Debby's not crazy.

Somebody is trying to scare

her and us off her property

with this flying metal monster.

It sustained some heavy damage.

- Yeah, 'cause I took it down with one sh*t.

- Yes.

Because you had me running long.

Yeah, 'cause I was the quarterback.

Yeah, but I was the wide one.

- The receiver?

- But anyway, never mind.

We need to know who

is doing this and why.

I may be able to get some information

from this severely compromised SD card.

Yeah, info like what planet is it from

and are the aliens there tall,

green and wet, like asparagus?

Aspar Oh, my God!

Asparagus.

Todd, the caterer. The

We're having dinner with the governor

at my house in two hours. We have to go.

- Oh, hey. I did that research for you.

- Uh-huh.

The lien on Debby's farm was filed

by an entity located in Jamaica.

- What?

- A shell corporation named

Lucea Operating Systems.

Lucea Operating Systems.

Super. Todd, remember that.

Susan, thank you so much,

but I really can't talk

about all of this right

now because we have to go.

We're having dinner with the governor.

And Todd, I cannot be dressed like this.

Okay, then change.

We have to go! We're having

dinner with the governor.

on the phone, but

I want to remind you

that he is voting against

your proposal regarding

decommissioning

Decidedly so.

That's all right, I'll speak to him.

Thanks.

Hello. Yes.

I understand.

No, Todd. No.

We are not starting without

the governor. It's rude.

But is the governor ever

gonna come back to the table?

- My food is getting cold.

- It is always like this.

Does she ever stop?

To sit? To eat?

They hooked up a

printer in the bathroom.

A printer?

No one use the bathroom.

I'm sorry this is taking so long.

No, no, no.

It's perfectly fine.

- It's the governor.

- And how are you feeling,

Captain Fantastic?

I'm fine.

Yeah, I bet you're fine.

Let's not discuss it.

You don't want to discuss

- the mushrooms you did?

- Shh. Todd.

- Wait, you did mushrooms?

- Okay.

- It it was an accident.

- Oh. Todd, Todd, Todd.

Allison, Todd, stop it.

I'll see you. Thank you.

Hello.

What a lovely table setting.

Why don't we eat now?

- Yes, yes, good. Everyone eat.

- Yes. Oh, yes, uh, we should eat.

- Uh, bon appétit.

- Mm.

Uh, this-this brisket

is from my caterer Cesar.

Mm. Oh, and the wine. The wine is

a lovely pinot.

Just, the organization

From Willamette Valley. Uh

Well, cheers.

- Cheers, Mom.

- Cheers.

Cheers.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Uh, Governor.

Cheers.

Oh. Heavenly.

So. My sister.

Her arrest is very upsetting.

dr*gs. Again.

And I need to cut her loose.

Uh, wait, wait.

I-I know this situation

is-is very challenging,

but your sister did a drug

test and she tested clean.

Someone is trying to

take the land, or

Or she's clean now, but last week

she was lost in a

drug-induced paranoia.

Seeing things? Colors?

Lights in the sky?

- No, no, no, that was just the drones.

- I don't care.

- I don't want to know.

- No, believe me, I thought

- it was aliens, too, at first.

- Thank you.

But I've dealt with this before.

I can't trust her.

I'm done.

Please Madam

Willa.

Our siblings are the only ones

who've known us our whole lives.

They know what we've been through.

And-and they see parts of

us that no one else sees.

It is worth the effort to

accept and-and forgive them.

No.

I've made up my mind.

And I need to distance myself from her.

Can you draw up the papers

separating me from the land?

Yes, of course. Yes, of course.

Thank you. The sooner the better.

Oh. I'm sorry.

Governor, there's been a situation.

Hmm.

I'm so sorry, Mom.

But I am going to continue

to represent your sister.

I want to protect her

and her farm.

I see.

Thank you for a lovely evening.

Yes, of course.

Cesar is incredible.

Not gonna finish your brisket?

Lawrence, I don't know

what I'm supposed to do.

- Mother.

- What?

Oh, gentlemen, I had a

plate for you as well,

but don't worry about it.

What the hell was that?

- My gosh!

- Also, did you notice

she was wearing the exact

same scarf that I gave you?

- Yes. Yes. I didn't want to say anything.

- Hey,

in other news, Lyle

just texted me some info

that he got from the drone's SD card.

He has the flight path.

What does that mean? Oh.

We know where the drone originated from.

- Mm-hmm.

- And where exactly is that?

About a mile off

Debby's farm, right here.

Okay. We're going.

- Right now.

- Right? Now?

Yes, but I'm gonna change

first, but then we're gonna go.

- And show her.

- Okay, great, yeah.

I'm gonna finish my plate

first, but, yeah, then we'll go.

- What a lovely evening.

- Mm-hmm.

Are you sure this is the right way?

We are going toward the

coordinates that Lyle gave us.

- Yeah.

- This is definitely not Debby's land.

Hmm.

Why are you walking like that?

Like what?

Like a mime in a cloud

all dramatic and weird.

You look like a mummy.

It is dark, Todd. I can

barely see where I'm going.

What do the coordinates say?

Well, it should be right over

Bingo.

Okay

Why are you pushing me now?

Just, so, move, we both go in. Okay.

Squirrel Be Gone?

Didn't you say somebody

was leaving dead squirrels

on Debby's property?

Yes. How can people be so cruel?

- I don't know.

- Look. Bathrobes.

What is this, some sort of

weird bathing cult or something?

Whoa. Hold on a second.

Um

Pills?

Todd, those were just

like the pills found

on Debby's property after the fire.

Huh.

It's another drone.

Drones, dr*gs, Debby?

Wait. Hold on.

Todd.

McMindville Resort & Spa,

Lucea Operating Systems, LLC, Jamaica.

Todd, this is the company

that put the lien on Debby's property.

Yeah.

Put your hands up.

- Whoa! Whoa, whoa!

- Now.

Can-can we just talk?

- Shut up! Start walking.

- All right.

- Okay.

- He said shut up. Just shut up.

- Faster.

- Yeah, we are.

- We're coming.

- You, over here.

- Okay, I guess I'm over here, right?

- No, no!

- Lawyer lady, you tie him up.

- Okay.

- What?

- Okay.

You're gonna have my mom tie me up?

- Just shut up.

- Okay, Todd.

- This is embarrassing.

- Start recording.

- What?

- Just start recording. Just do it.

Okay. I'm-I'm tying him

up. I'm tying him up.

- Ow.

- I just Loop-di-loop, this is

- Tighter!

- I'm going tighter. There. Okay? Done.

- Put her over there. Tie her up.

- Watch your tone.

Watch my tone?

Oh, my God. Okay.

Okay. Hi. Sarah and Joe, uh,

you don't have to do this.

- Who are Joe and Sarah?

- Oh, come on, guys.

We're not gonna play the "who

are Joe and Sarah" game, are we?

You just called her lawyer lady.

We saw your spa concepts

on the wall over there.

You two have big dreams, don't you?

But your plans aren't working out.

What

- what are you doing?

- Joe didn't listen to me.

The mushrooms wouldn't grow on our land.

So, you went after Debby's property.

Well, we tried to buy her out,

but she wouldn't agree to anything.

Holy crap, Sarah. Stop talking.

No, no, no, no, Sarah,

actually, maybe keep talking.

You are so incredibly annoying.

- Me?

- Him!

Okay! Just, you don't have to

gesture with the g*n every time.

Go get the tarp.

- Tarp?

- Please.

No, no.

- Please go get the tarp.

- No, no tarp.

What's the tarp even for?

So we don't make a mess.

Mom.

- On your knees.

- Okay. Okay, we're serious. We're going down. Okay.

I'm sorry. Before you start

all the sh**ting stuff,

I have one more question

for you, because, you know,

I am a detail-oriented person.

I mean, always have been, and if

I don't know the rest of

the story before I, uh, die,

uh, it will just keep nagging at me.

So, you couldn't grow mushrooms,

so you went after Debby's property.

That's right. Someone left

a dead squirrel in her house.

But she wouldn't make a deal with you,

so, you took out a lien against her land

with a Jamaican shell

corp, and then, you started

harassing her with drones.

- Help me.

- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, and I feel like

the squirrel stuff was

taking it a step too far.

Yes, yes, a step too far.

Well, everything went

sideways because of Joe.

You don't owe them an explanation.

They're about to be dead.

- What?

- Wait. You're not actually gonna k*ll them.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Sarah.

Come on. This isn't you.

I mean, what happened to the

whole psilocybe tribe vibe?

I mean, whatever happened to

loving people from the inside?

Yeah, Joe. I don't want to k*ll them.

What do you think we were gonna do?

- I thought we were just scaring them.

- You were wrong.

- Aah!

- No!

Hey!

Namaste!

Double-O-Lyle strikes again.

You okay, Mother?

That was incredible.

Could someone untie me?

Sorry that took so long, Mother.

I never doubted for a

second. You're an ex-Marine.

That was awesome. How did

you even know where we were?

Well, I dropped a pin to

both of them on our way over.

You know how to drop a pin?

Well, of course, Todd.

Do you think I haven't

learned anything from you?

Okay, well,

I guess we all have me to thank

for saving the day then, right?

God.

Mr. Ben Cooper,

what do you know about the meth found

underneath Ms. Jones' hunting blind?

I know it wasn't Ms. Jones'.

- How do you know that?

- After you came to my trailer,

I started to worry that

Ms. Jones was in trouble.

That's when I heard some

weird sounds out by the blind.

When I went to check them out,

I saw Joe putting green

bags into a metal box

right before the same green

bags were found in Debby's blind.

They were out to get Debby and her land.

No further questions, Your Honor.

The witness is excused.

Your Honor, in light of this testimony

and the evidence

presented, the State wishes

to dismiss the charges

against the defendant.

The Court accepts.

State of Oregon v.

Debby Jones is dismissed.

Next on the calendar, State of Oregon v.

Joe and Sarah Graham.

I'm proud of you.

- Thanks. Trying.

- Mm-hmm.

Well, we can work out a deal

where you can stay on the land.

- Okay?

- Mm-hmm.

You just have to come

by my office this time

- and sign a lease.

- Okay.

- Take care.

- You, too.

I heard you were third battalion 25th?

Yeah.

Second Marines, Operation Matador.

- We came in right behind you guys.

- Right on.

That was a heavy duty, uh

Yup. Yeah, it sure was.

Uh, my mom says you've

been through a rough patch.

Let me know if there's anything I can do

to help you pull things back together.

Semper fi.

Semper fi.

- Thank you.

- Oh, of course.

The land is yours again.

Yours and your sister's,

should you want to

continue to co-own it.

Willa, I'm so sorry. I let a

mistake you made in the past

cloud my judgment of you today.

I'm sorry.

We should try harder, the two of us.

Someday, you will be governor.

A big, pink governor.

Wait, wait, wait! Hold

the elevator, please! Hold.

Hey. Oh. Thanks.

- Just in time. Again.

- Yeah.

Well, thank you again.

So, how was it working with Lawrence?

Uh, it was fine ish.

- Yeah?

- No, it was good.

It was, um it was

actually really nice.

He gave me these little pincer scissors,

- this little mini-Leatherman thing.

- Hmm.

So I could pince my way

out of any situation.

Do you know I got

zip-tied the other day?

- No way.

- Yeah, it really pinced me off.

And now we've helped the governor,

which is, like, a total

"get out of jail free" card

just waiting to be played.

Back-pocket it.

Okay. Back-pocketed.

I'm hungry. You hungry?

Want to maybe get something to eat?

I'm actually getting dinner with Peter.

Oh, yes, the elusive Peter.

- Yeah.

- Okay, well, you guys have a nice time.

And you stay out of trouble.

Or maybe don't.

Now that you have that free pass?

Right. Back-pocketed.

Good night, Susan.

Wow. Allison was arrested.

Everything is fine.

It was a one-time thing,

and I'm sorry if this mars your record

or ruins your chances

of becoming the governor

- Okay.

- or whatever, seriously.

But I.. It's over.

- I will not get arrested again.

- Drunk, disorderly and done.

Please

- don't.

- I don't want anyone else in our family

getting arrested again. Please.

Why did you have to look

at me for that, okay?

- You know why.

- All right, yeah, sure. Uh,

Mom, maybe we should postpone

our bank heist then?

Or maybe just call it off entirely?

Todd.

Okay, no more arrests, ever.

And now please tell me it's

time to open the bottle of wine.

Oh, yes, but none for Allison, though.

- Oh, no, wait Mean.

- Okay? Just for you.

Mom, do we have chocolate?

Like, real chocolate?

It's fine. I'm fine.

I'm all fine.

Okay.

Here we go.

"Whisper this.

The white owl has flown.

Take this morganite stone.

It represents letting go of the past.

Bury it in the soil and move on,

knowing it is there."

Uh

Okay.

Aw, this is ridiculous.

Gus. Dot, dot, dot.

Back from Seattle yet? Question mark.

Want to get that drink?

Question mark.

Send.

Ah.

Mm, mm
