Previously on "Big Sky"...

PHOEBE: Is he going to be okay?

Of course he will.

We just need to get him some help.

Where's Ronald Pergman?
We know he was here.

You won't find him, not without my help.

BOB: Come on. One at a time. Down we go.

No, no!

[GRUNTS, SCREAMS]

- Please!
- Hands!

Drop the bag, Tracy!

T-LOCK: It's all a huge
misunderstanding.

Welcome to Montana, Dad.

And now I just gotta
get these zip-ties off.

[LAUGHS] I did it!

He's coming.

What the hell?

- [SCREAMS]
- [GRUNTS]

RACHEL: Run! Get help!

[SCUFFLING]

[CELLPHONE VIBRATING]

Hello?

BOB: Mission Street
parking structure.


- Bring the bag... tomorrow.
- Understood.

WOLF: I installed a
microchip into Ronald.

Bingo.

[GPS BEEPS]

SCARLET: Stay with me, baby.

- [GROANS]
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]

I-I'm so sorry,

but my husband, he was att*cked.

I can't do anything for you in here.

I'm not sure that you heard me.

You fix him right here, right now!



- Can you save him?
- I don't know.

Let me get my med kit.

[GROANS]

You're gonna be okay.
I got you a doctor.

Don't trust him.

What's going on here?



DR. COWLEY: Gail.

Go.

Gail!

[TELEPHONE DIALING]

- What are you doing?
- I'm calling the police...

- Hey!
- Give me your phone.

Give me your phone, now!



Go on. Make him better.

What about my wife? She's injured.

Are you serious? My husband first.



JENNY: There's only
one entrance in and out

of the parking structure.
We'll be following you.

Two other units will cover the east

and south end of the building.

W-What if the kidnapper sees
you guys and gets spooked?

We'll have people on the ground.

I know this is terrifying.

We'll be covering you.

The best way to ensure
your safety is to make sure

you follow the instructions to a T.

I can do that.

- I have all the papers.
- All right.

Let's gear up.

- All right.
- Well, let's get going.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

Nice of you to join the party.

This is not a good idea.

- Got a better plan?
- I do. Let me call State.

I thought you already reached out?

I did, and I'm still waiting.
You should, too.

I don't understand. Waiting for what?

If T-Lock doesn't show
up with the money,

can you promise me Max and her
mom are not gonna get harmed?

Of course you can't.

I'm not gonna risk their lives.

Hey, hey. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

I'm here. I'm coming with you.

I could use your help.

Just remember who's in charge.

- [DISTANT RINGING]
- RACHEL: [ECHOING] Max.

Max. Max, baby.

[NORMAL VOICE] Max. Max.

[GROANS]

Max.

Mom?

Hi, baby.

- It's okay.
- Oh, my head hurts.

I know, baby. Just breathe.

- Breathe.
- [DOOR OPENS]

[MAX GROANS]



Rise and shine.

- Who wants some breakfast?
- Please, she's hurt.





Oh.

Just a little bump on the head, yeah?

Just... Just let us go.



What do you think, Fred?

How's my plan going so far?

I agree.

- [Kn*fe CLANKS]
- Smooth as butter.

- No, no.
- It's all about preparation.



[MAX WHIMPERING]



Come on, have some.

No, I d... I don't want any.

Open your mouth.

[WHIMPERS]

Come on, open your mouth. Eat.

[MUFFLED GRUNTING]



Good girl.

[MUFFLED SOB]



Your turn.

[DISH CLATTERS]



All right, here we are. Montana.

The new operation.
What do I need to know?

- Well, we...
- I got this, Ren.

No, you don't, actually.

Um, that's rude, Jag.

Alicia, please?

Go on, son.

Well, uh, we've got all
the precursor chemicals,

and we'll be up and running in no time.

And transport?

The locals seem to be
quite enthusiastic.

Uh, wouldn't you say, Tonya?

Tonya's our local consultant, of sorts.

Well, the trucking industry
in Montana is...

We offer them more
than living job to job,

so they're grateful for the steady work.

He just needs to know
if we can trust them.

Oh. %.

DONNO: We have addresses
of loved ones...

parents, children, and pets.

I also have my saw,
as well as other things.

Sometimes it's better
if he doesn't talk.

My team has it covered.

Our team has it covered.

All right, this move out of Canada...

I think a shorter timeline's in order.

- Shorter as in... ?
- Immediately.

As soon as possible. Sell everything.

Everything? Even the house?

Why not?

Clean slate.

'Cause it's our home.

It's... It's where we grew up.

Puttar, enough.

Your softness is still a problem.

I think it's a great idea.

I was gonna pitch it myself.

Uh, not that my opinion counts,

but I do think a move out of Canada

would be good for Veer's health.

Plus, Canada. I mean... it's Canada.

[CHUCKLES]

Canada has been good to
us, but it's time to go.

[SMACKS LIPS] That's right, darling.



[SCISSORS CLICK]

How is he doing?

- He's lost a lot of blood.
- You keep saying that.

I know that.

You're a doctor. Isn't it your
job to stop the bleeding?

- Heal him.
- I'm trying.

But you should have
taken him to a hospital.

Mm.

[g*n COCKS]



He can't die.





- This is strange.
- What is it?

[SIGHS]

I don't know.



Looks like a microchip.

Something you'd put inside a pet.

Give it to me.





[DOOR OPENS]



[DOOR CLOSES]

Thanks.

[SIGHS]

I'm thinking we should call it.

What?

There's no sign of him anywhere.

No, Wolf said he can
find a signal again.

We've been driving around all night

looking for this phantom signal.

I... We're not even sure
if Wolf's telling the truth.

We've got him.

Let's bring him in.

We don't have to stop
looking for Ronald.

Okay.

[CAR DOOR OPENS]

We're taking you in.

[SCOFFS] That'd be a mistake.

We got a signal.

[GPS BEEPING]



JENNY: You ready for this?

Yeah, I-I think so.

Remember, you're not alone.
We can hear everything.

Looking sharp, but lose the hat.

Really?

But it's... Okay.

We'll be about five cars back,

but we'll keep you in
sight. You can do this.

Okay, let's go.



This way.



[BIRDS CHIRPING]

I think a family of hawks
lives in that tree.

You think they all secretly
hate each other like we do?

You really don't care about the house?

Forget the house.

He's talking about pulling
up stakes completely.

Something's going on.

Something Dad's not telling us?

Sandovals?

Maybe.

Alicia knows. You see
that look on her face?

What do you know about her?

They, uh, started dating
four months ago.

She worked at the accounting
firm Dad's been using.

And she's got him doing yoga.

Think about that.
[CHUCKLES] Dad doing yoga.

So she's privy to the family business.

Not exactly.

You heard her. She's got opinions.

She could be valuable.

Handling Dad isn't without its benefits.

What happens when she handles her way

into a share of the family business?

[BIRD SCREECHES IN DISTANCE]

- I'll do some digging.
- Yep.

- What are you gonna do?
- Probably the "enemies closer" tactic.

That's a good idea. You two can
talk about Alanis Morissette.

- That's her favorite.
- Nope. If she ruins Alanis for me,

I'm gonna have to k*ll
her with my bare hands.

[CHUCKLES] Okay. So go get a
pedicure with her or something.

That's your idea? A pedicure?

- Yeah. That's what you guys do.
- Why?

Oh, we just get pedicures together?

- You gossip, small talk.
- Goodbye.

Girl bonding.

- You know what I mean.
- No, I don't.





[TIRES SCREECH]

[BRAKE LOCKS]

Just stay focused, T-Lock.

Follow the plan, and you'll be fine.







Okay, I'm here.

I don't see anyone.

Roger that, stand by.

[CELLPHONE VIBRATING]


H-He... H-He's calling
me. W-What do I do?

Answer it.

We can hear you on the wire.

Okay.

Uh, hello?

BOB: What would you do
to save Rachel and Max?


Anything.

Then you need to follow my instructions.

[CELLPHONE CHIMES]




I don't hear anything.

Maybe the wire got dislodged.



- [STATIC CRACKLES]
- No.

No, they're onto us.

They must know he's wearing a wire.

Jenny, you need to call
this off right now.



[WIRE CLACKS]

Okay. Okay, wire's gone.

Just please don't hurt Rachel.

Big mistake to involve the police.

I had no choice.

Well, now you do.

Take the money, go down the stairwell.

[CELLPHONE CHIMES]

_

He's not answering.

All units are moving in.
Block the entrance.

No one gets in or out.

[TIRES SCREECH]



I'm on the stairwell.

Go to the bottom. Take
the tunnel to the library.


Yeah, yeah. I'm going down.



Where the hell is he?

POPPERNAK: Gone.

There's no way he left in another car.



[DOOR CREAKS]



- [DOOR CLOSES]
- I need eyes on T-Lock.

Now.

[SIGHS]

Damn it.

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- T-LOCK: Okay, I'm leaving the library.

There's a maroon station wagon

parked on the road in front of you.

Keys are inside.

Got it. Heading over.

Get on Highway . Drive miles.

Take the Eagle Valley exit.



There's no sign of him.

The wire.

The drop was never gonna be here.

Hey, I got his phone. Looks
like he's on Highway .







[CELLPHONE BEEPS]

[CELLPHONE DIALING]

You on Eagle Valley yet?

T-LOCK: Yeah, I-I-I
just got off the exit.


Go about two miles
past some train tracks.

You're gonna lose your cell signal.

Look for a flashlight
and a walkie-talkie

taped to a telephone pole.

Stop there and get out.



[TRAIN SIGNAL DINGING IN DISTANCE]



[TRAIN CLACKING]

[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS]



[TAPE CRACKLES]



Where are you?

Hello? Uh, are you there?

I'm here.

Now take your phone and smash it.

Use the walkie from here on out.



[CELLPHONE SMACKS]

Okay, it's done.

Grab the money and head
through the red brick gate.





[DOOR SLIDES OPEN]

Your knight in shining armor approaches.

[MUFFLED GRUNTING]

POPPERNAK: Stop. Look at that car.

[ENGINE STOPS]



- Clear.
- Clear.

Someone left in a hurry.

This may have nothing to do with T-Lock.

My cousin was drunk once,

drove his car into a cow pasture,

put it in park, and walked away.



Look at this.

[TRAIN HORN BLOWS IN DISTANCE]

Hey, Hoyt.

Looks like this is why
our signal disappeared.

So where the hell is he?

Hey, what if, uh, T-Lock's been working

with the kidnappers all along?

I hope he's not.

Well, let's just focus on finding him.

Okay, boys, which way do we go?

We got at least four options,
all of them grim and creepy.

No, I'm scared. Ladies first.

I'll call Tubb, see if we can
get a drone to fly over.

Good idea.



[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]

How much longer do I have to walk?

BOB: Keep going. You're getting close.

Are you with Rachel and Max?

Don't worry about it.

Play by the rules, you'll see them.



[MUFFLED GRUNTING]

[GASPING] Okay, Mom.

[PANTING]

[BANGING ON DOOR]
Help! Help! Anyone, please!

- [MUFFLED GRUNT]
- Please!

- [MUFFLED GRUNTING]
- What? What is it?

[MUFFLED GRUNTING]



The hazard lights.

[MUFFLED GRUNTING]

Okay.

[GRUNTING]

- [THUD ON DASHBOARD]
- [GRUNTS] Okay.

Almost. Come on.

Okay. Come on.

[GRUNTS]

[BOTH GASP]

Ma, I did it. I did it.

- I just hit it.
- [MUFFLED GRUNT]

[EXHALES]



- [CELLPHONE BEEPS]
- [SIGHS] Crap.

- JENNY: What's the ETA?
- I'm not getting signal out here.

It's a total dead zone.



Wait. Hold up. What's that?

It's a car's hazards.

We should get backup out here.

Take my truck. Find signal, notify Tubb.

- I'm gonna go ahead on foot.
- Hey, wait. Hoyt.

Hey, he's right. You... You
can't just walk in there.

You don't know what's waiting for you.

We'll be quiet, stay dark.

Feel free to join Poppernak
if you're scared.



[g*n CLICKS]



[GPS BEEPING]

That must be it.

Ronald's in that car.



Hold on.

[TIRES SCREECH]

Out of the car.

Out of the car, now!

Don't hurt me.

- Where's Ronald?
- She made me swallow a microchip.

She said that she would k*ll my husband.

- What? Who did?
- No, you have to help us.

- She still has him.
- Take a breath.

Tell us where they are.

[SNIFFLES]





PHOEBE: Mom?

Phoebe. Sweetheart,
what are you doing here?

I-I thought I told you to stay in
your room and watch your show.

My show is over. And I got scared.

Okay. [SIGHS]

Well... there's no reason to be afraid.

You're a big, brave
girl. I know you are.

Hey, Mom's here to protect you.

You know what?

Since you're such a brave girl,

maybe you could do Mommy a favor.

- Like what?
- Well, our friend Doctor Cowley

is going to let us borrow
some of his clothes.

Would you go into his closet
and find some things

that could fit Mommy and Ronald?

It'll be fun. Like shopping.

He's letting us take his clothes?

Yes. Yeah, he's a very nice man.

He wants to help us.

Now, go ahead.

Have fun, okay? I can't wait
to see what you choose.

Okay.



You're making a terrible mistake.

Think about the position
you're putting your child in.

That's none of your business.

I just...

I'm gonna do everything
I can to help you,

and then what?

What happens when you leave here?

What kind of life are you
going to give your child?

You... You could just...

Shut up.

Get back to work.





[INSECTS CHIRPING]

[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]

[TRAIN CLACKING]

[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS]

Where are you?

BOB: Boo!



- Drop the money and walk.
- No.

No, I-I-I need to see them first.

I need to see Max and Rachel.

Not until you do what I tell you to do.

Now, keep the walkie on
you, and when I'm good,

I'll let you know how to find them.

Where are they?

I guess you're just gonna
have to wait and find out.

Drop the money and go.



[BAG THUDS]

Uh, I'm sorry. It's...
It's a little light.

What do you mean?

- I spent some of the money.
- [ZIPPING]

Oh, on that fancy, new ride of yours.

Yeah. Never had a nice car before.

What else did you get?

This.

Now, you tell me where they are.



Are you gonna sh**t me,
or should I sh**t you?

Hey, stop it. I'll... I'll k*ll you.

I swear. I'll k*ll you.

If you do, then you're not gonna
find out where they are,

so what exactly is your plan?

[VOICE BREAKING] You know,
everybody thinks I'm so dumb,

but I'm not.

And I... I'm not a bad person.

You know, Rachel saw that in me.

I'm just... I'm just trying
to do good by them.

You gonna get all weepy now, or
can we get to the sh**ting part?

[BREATHING SHAKILY]

Where... Where are they?

- [g*nsh*t]
- [GRUNTS]




[BREATHING SHAKILY]

Rachel! Rachel!

Max!

Rachel!

- [g*nsh*t]
- [GRUNTS]

[WHIMPERING]

[GASPING]





Maybe next time.

- [g*nsh*t]
- Aah!



Going after him.

[SIGHS] T-Lock.

H-Hey.

Hey. It's okay.

[STRAINED BREATHING]

I wanted to save them.

I know you did. I know.

Please, tell... tell [GASPS]
Rachel I'm sorry.

You can tell her yourself.

You're gonna be okay.

- [BREATHING SHAKILY]
- Just stay with me.

Stay with me. Stay with me.

[BREATHING STOPS]

[SIGHS]







[METAL RATTLES]

- [g*nsh*t]
- Oh! [GRUNTS]







[SIGHS]

[BOTH GASPING]



JENNY: It's okay. It's over.

You're safe now.

[BOTH SIGHING]

It's okay.

[INSECTS CHIRPING,
WOLF HOWLS IN DISTANCE]

[GABRIEL FAURÉ'S "ROMANCE
WITHOUT WORDS" PLAYING ON PIANO]





VEER: Reenu.

That was...

sublime.

It was Mom's favorite.

When you played it at the
National Music Center,

oh, we were so proud.

Is something wrong?

You don't just give out compliments.

I do sometimes.

[CHUCKLES]

But that's not our way.

Oh, coddling is for pets and
babies and... other children.

A recipe for mediocrity.

I expect far more from my daughter.

Mm-hmm.

Are we really pulling out of Canada?

[SIGHS]

Things change. That's what life is.

- Those who adapt, succeed.
- Of course, but why?

You know, I would really
like to hear some Ravel.

[SCOFFS]

"Gaspard de la nuit."

I'll play it for you if you tell me.

I don't barter.

[SIGHS]

Besides, I can see you're not prepared.

I can read my way through it.

Let's... Let's not.

Perfect or not at all.

Just tell me, then.

Is it the Sandovals?

No.

Then is it Alicia? Is she the reason?

You... You do not need
to worry about Alicia.

[SIGHS]

Betee, y-you came up with
an excellent business plan.

Life is short. I just want us
all to be together as a family.

Here in Montana.

Now, I'm... I'm starving.

I'm going to go check on dinner.



- Did you tell her?
- No.

Not the right time.

Come.

I'll have an officer escort
you to the hospital.

He'll stay with you to
make sure you feel safe.

Did you get him?

- We will.
- What about T-Lock?

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

Uh...



He didn't make it.

Rachel, he did everything he
could to save you and Max.

His last words were that he was sorry.

- [BREATHING SHAKILY]
- Hey.

Hey, it's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.



He... He made some
stupid choices, but he...

Deep down, he wasn't a bad man.

He was a good guy.

[SNIFFLES, EXHALES SHARPLY]

Thank you.



Take good care of them.



What happened?

I lost him.

And the money?

Bob's still got it, but I wounded him.

He ain't gonna get far.

I'll get K units after them.

We got them back. That's what matters.

Wow.

Thank you.

Jenny, uh...

[CELLPHONE VIBRATES]

[SIGHS]

Oh.

Uh, it's Denise. I gotta take this.

[CELLPHONE BEEPS]

- Hey, Denise, what's up?
- DENISE: Jenny.

I just talked to Cassie
a few minutes ago,

and she is on her way to a farmhouse

that she believes Ronald is held up in,

and it's just her and Lindor
about to walk in there


like a couple of idiot cowboys
with no backup whatsoever.

Send me the address. I'm on my way.

What's going on? Where you going?

It's Cassie. She needs my help.

I-I'll call you later.



- Are you done yet?
- Yes.

- But he needs to rest.
- [DOOR OPENS]

No, there's no time.

Give him something so we can leave.

I can't do that.

Yes, you can.

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- [SIGHS]

[ZIPPING]

Hurry up.



[VEHICLE APPROACHING]

[WOLVES HOWLING IN DISTANCE]



Oh, no. Okay.



[ENGINE STOPS]

WOLF: That's my truck.

Ronald is here.



[GROANS]



- [GROANS]
- Move.

Scarlet.

SCARLET: Hey, I'm right here.

We have to get out of here now. Okay?

- Okay?
- We're going to Alaska?

Yeah. Yeah, you have to get dressed.

I got clothes for you.

I love you.

I love you.

What did you do?



What did you do?!

this is the end.

Step back and put the g*n down.

Why? So you can arrest him?

[LAUGHS]

I don't think so.

I said, put the g*n down.

I will sh**t you.

You think I care?



I am going to put him down.
