[MARTY] So, are... are the trucks
still on standby in Chicago?

One heading for Boston,
another for New Orleans.

Cancel Boston, keep New Orleans.

Uh, and he wants to get back on
schedule as soon as possible, okay?

Uh, if there are no questions,
that's it. Okay, thank you.

Hi.

If you don't mind, can I
trouble you with a request?

Sure.

I'd like to see Omar.

He's hurt. It's not good for him
to be alone. He needs his family.

Uh, yeah, that, uh,
that could be difficult.

But not impossible.

Please.

You said you had political connections.

Yeah, um,

I'll see what I can do, okay?

- Muchas gracías.
- Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

[RANDALL] So, where's the money, Wendy?

Pleasure to see you too.

If I found this amusing,
you would know it.

I've been getting calls. The
races hang in the balance.

Everyone will get their
money by the end of the week.

[RANDALL] Yeah, how exactly?

I hear Shaw Medical pulled
out of your foundation.

Minor miscommunication. That's all.

Oh, don't give me that
mealymouthed, small-town bullshit.

What the f*ck is going on?

Panic is not a good look on you.

We'll get the money, one way
or the other. I promise you.

You made any progress with OFAC?

Well, I had, but now there's
concerns about visibility.

It...

It gets a little complicated when
Mexican lawyers are back-channeling

to keep him on the list.

- When did this happen?
- [RANDALL] Last night.

Now, so far it's been behind closed
doors, but if this goes public

before his removal is approved,

it's gonna get very hard
to make any moves at all.

Understood. I'll take care of it.

[HUFFS]

- [CHATTERING]
- [LAUGHING]

- Hot towel?
- [MAN] No, thank you.

Hi. Hot towel?

- For you, sir? Hot towel?
- [MAN ] Yes.

[FLIGHT ATTENDANT] Hot towel?

Don't mind if I do. Thanks.

- Uh, yeah, I'll... I'll take one too.
- [FLIGHT ATTENDANT] Here you are.

Can you show me the, um, the
Chantilly lace again, please?

And maybe the snow cone
and the Alp. Thank you.

And the Alpine white.

Did I like the shaggy sheep?

Or was that Greek
villa? Maybe Greek villa.

[RACHEL] It's this one.

This one was the one you
liked. It's vanilla dream.

Oh, okay.

They all look f*cking white to me.

Ruth?

Uh, I'm gonna need to
borrow her for a second.

I'm sorry. We are in the middle
of updating my sitting room.

Well, that sounds like the most
boring f*cking room on the planet.

[EXHALES]

[RACHEL] What the f*ck
are you doing here?

Oh, no. Excuse me, just one...

Excuse me, please. Just one moment.

I thought I'd check out paradise,

you know, ride a dolphin
and all that sh*t.

Plus I got a business
proposition to run by you.

I have not seen you in over a year.

[RUTH] Hmm.

You saying I came all
this way down here,

and you don't want me to
make you filthy f*cking rich?

[MARTY] Is Jonah coming?

I texted him, but I didn't hear back.

Well, thank you for doing this.

So, how was it down there? Are you okay?

It... it was different
this time. I was in charge.

I told Charlotte that,
at this level of business,

the cartel is basically just a
bunch of glorified pencil pushers.

And I said that that was bullshit.

Well, actually, I did
spend most of my time

looking at everyone's books.

It was kind of boring.

If it was bad, would you tell me?

- Absolutely.
- No.

Yes, I would.

Ruth called me this afternoon.

She wants to set a meeting
for tomorrow morning.

Well, I hope you told her to go to hell.

She said that you'd both wanna be
there. It's about the foundation.

Something about she's willing
to play ball. What is that?

Should I keep it in the schedule?

Sure.

Oh, uh, how was your
meeting with Schafer?

[WENDY INHALES] Tricky.

Someone in Mexico is lobbying
OFAC to keep Navarro on the list.

I mean, you didn't hear any rumblings
about that down there, did you?

Are you sure?

Camila is the only person that I told

about getting Navarro off the SDN list,

and... and she's, uh, she's
close with Javi's lawyer.

Uh, she... she, uh,

she had to have made that call. Um...

Jesus. It's all her.

[WENDY] You think she ordered the hit?

[CLICKS TONGUE] Uh, well, you know,

she believes that, uh,
that Navarro k*lled her son.

I mean, that's reason
enough to go after him.

I just... I f*cking missed it.

It's not your fault.

I k*lled an innocent man.

No, you didn't.

No, I... I did. I was there.

- [SIGHS]
- Navarro k*lled that man.

Navarro's in a coma, Wendy.

And you were tasked with
doing exactly what he would do.

It wasn't you.

Look at me.

We focus on what we can control.

Funding the foundation, getting
Navarro off the list, forward.

[INHALES] It's the only way.

Forward.

[MARTY CLICKS TONGUE]

[SIGHS]

Jonah.

Hey. Hi, Nathan.

Mornin'.

- Hey, Dad.
- [MARTY] Hi.

What are you doing? Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I just...

I just wanna see your face.

Well.

I'll leave you to it.

Just, uh, gimme a knock
when you're back from school.

That sounds good.

[MARTY] Spending more time
with grandpa these days, huh?

Yeah, he's... he's cool.

He's not nearly as bad as
Mom makes him out to be.

So, how was Mexico?

Uh...

Fine.

Sorry I didn't come
to dinner last night.

[MARTY] Yeah.

It's just better if I keep my distance.

Yeah.

I get it.

You need anything? Do you need money?

No. Need groceries?

I'm good.

Okay.

All right, well, I
was on my way to work,

and I thought that I would stop by

to see if you needed a ride to school.

You want that?

No, I take my bike.

All right.

Okay. Um...

I just miss you. I
miss you at the house.

I miss you.

Good.

Will you call me if you need anything?

Please.

[RACHEL] That's a f*cking
casino on the water.

[RUTH] You should have seen it when
I had it towed from Cape Girardeau.

Real piece of sh*t.

But we got her shined up.

You ready?

Yeah.

Least she can do is show up on time.

- What is she doing here?
- I invited her.

Beautiful casino. You've
really outdone yourselves.

[MARTY] Hi, there. Wow.

- Hi. Oh, hi.
- [MARTY] Good to see you.

Yeah.

- Yeah.
- How are you?

[RACHEL] I'm fine. I'm good. Real good.

Yeah? Good. Where are you these days?

South Miami. Bought a
diner about a year ago.

[CHUCKLES] Guess you could
say I'm sticking to my roots.

Can we get on with it?

Yeah, yeah.

I wanna buy you out of this place.

You get Shaw's money for your
foundation. I get control of the Belle.

[LAUGHING]

Of course you do.

Um, uh, why?

Why the f*ck not? I ran this
place. I know it better than you do.

You have a criminal record. They
won't put your name on a license.

[RUTH] That's why I'm bringing
on Rachel as a partner.

It'll be her name on everything.

Seeing as it's Darlene's land,

only feels right for
it to be run by locals.

Didn't you just say you live in Miami?

Uh, Ruth, you... you
know what we do here.

We can't possibly sell
you our entire share.

So, what's your offer?

- Um...
- [WENDY CLICKS TONGUE, SCOFFS]

Ten percent and your name
doesn't go on the license.

We keep this thing under the table.

No chance. I'll consider .

I'll do day-to-day. It'll
be her name on everything.

What did she say to
convince you to do this, hmm?

Did she offer you money?

- dr*gs?
- Oh, I'm sober now.

[GASPS] Congratulations.

I'm willing to bet that
Ruth left a few things out.

Did she tell you that the...

the money came from
selling Darlene's heroin?

Yeah, she's done with that now.

Did she tell you that
she just k*lled a man?

And that that man happened
to be head of the cartel?

And that they might be after her?

This isn't about business.

It's punishment.

She blames us for Wyatt and for Ben.

I just think you deserve to know
what you're getting yourself into.

It's good seeing y'all.

Now f*ck off.

Who's Ben?

Tell me why you won't consider this.

Ruth doesn't want a casino.
She wants your attention.

Well, I don't care what her motives are.

Schafer's cronies want their money.

- Here it is. It's gift wrapped.
- Oh, you cannot be that naive.

[MARTY] I can talk her down to
%. and still be in control.

I am not giving our casino away
to a redneck Thelma and Louise.

I'll get Shaw Medical back.

- No, Wendy, listen.
- No, look.

Clare promised Javi's mother stock
in the company. We can use that.

We can pressure Clare back
into a deal with the foundation.

[MARTY] Well... [EXHALES]
Camila won't be alive very long

once Navarro hears the truth about her.

Well, the truth can wait. We can
give her up to Navarro anytime.

But what makes you think that she's not

gonna go after him
again in the meantime?

- It's safer if we get the money from Ruth.
- No.

- No?
- No!

[RUTH] Oh!

You made it sound like they had
their bags packed for Chicago.

Why'd I have to hear all
that sh*t from Wendy Byrde?

You know, I would've
told you eventually.

Yeah, when exactly?

When I had my name on a casino license

and it was too late to turn back?

It's... it's... it's not what you think.

I think you've been, um,
spending too much time with Marty.

[CHUCKLES] That's what I think.

I'm sorry, all right?

We... we... we just have
to figure out another way,

but I need you to stick with me.

[RACHEL SIGHS]

You got no idea the hole I
had to pull myself out of.

And now you are leading me
straight back into quicksand.

Can't do it.

So, what now?

You're gonna go back to
Florida and sell window shades

for the rest of your f*cking life?

It was nice seeing you, Ruth.

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

[RUTH HUFFS]

You lost?

Well, uh,

you live here, so, uh, no.

Let's try that again.

- What the f*ck are you doing here?
- [MEL] Well.

[EXHALES] Same case.

Uh, it's a new boss.

Your boyfriend's dad.

He wants me to find him.

Five minutes. I got sh*t to do.

Give that thing a refill yet?

Learn to pack your own g*dd*mn snacks.

Let's get on with it. [CLEARS THROAT]

[SNIFFLES]

So... [EXHALES]

as far as you know, Ben Davis
left town on his own accord.

Correct?

Far as I know.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[MEL] This was taken at a
toll booth outside St. Louis

two days after he was released
from the mental facility.

Now, I spoke to a cop,

said she found them sleeping in a car

outside a parking lot that morning.

A couple hours later, they stop for gas.

Clerk remembers Wendy being upset
'cause Ben bought a burner phone.

So then they get hungry.

They stop for food.

I got two of 'em going in, but I
only have one of 'em coming out.

Now... [EXHALES]

The Byrdes, um... [CLICKS TONGUE]

I mean, they've been good to you.

They've kept you under
their wing, so to speak.

You've probably helped them
out of some tight spots.

Did you help Wendy out with this one?

Helen worked for some
questionable clients.

Ben get tangled up with her?

[RUTH CLEARS THROAT]

[INHALES] Ben wanted to move to a farm

and raise f*cking goats.

He wasn't caught up in sh*t.

Is Wendy hiding him?

- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
- [RUTH] It's open.

[JONAH] Hey.

I got those spreadsheets.

[CLEARS THROAT] Uh, can you...
can you wait outside for a sec?

Yeah, sure.

Take your time.

You can just put those away.

He and Ben were close,

and I don't... I don't
want him to see that sh*t.

[EXHALES] Look, all...

all I know is

one day, Ben picked up my calls.

Next day, he stopped.

I wish I could tell you more.

[MEL EXHALES]

[JONAH] Did you tell him anything?

[RUTH] No, I don't
talk sh*t to strangers.

[JONAH] Just don't say
anything to my grandpa.

All right? It'd k*ll him.

[RINGS]

Navarro's awake.

He asked to see you.

How soon can you get there?

[MARTY] Um, I can go straight away.

Good.

Then I want you in Chicago
for a debrief tomorrow.

When's the next drop?

Uh, there's a... there's a
truck, uh, headed to New Orleans.

It's supposed to arrive about
seven o'clock in the morning.

I sent over all the details.

How did his lieutenants
respond to you stepping in?

They did what I asked.

If Navarro doesn't make
a full recovery, maybe...

maybe we could make this
a permanent position?

Um, he's... he's... he's
gonna make a full recovery.

Uh, so, um, uh, listen,
let's... we'll talk soon, okay?

Um, Navarro is awake, and
he has asked to see me.

And we must tell him about Camila.

- The man is barely conscious.
- Wendy.

No, no. [SCOFFS]

No, what, you wanna tell him

that we took out the wrong guy,
and his sister wants him dead?

We can't... we can't hide it. We
have no idea what she's planning.

Well, neither will he. It'll
make him desperate and paranoid.

He needs to believe that
we're still up to the task.

We need him in our control.

He's never that.

- [TV PLAYING]
- [ANNOUNCER SPEAKING SPANISH]

[CROWD CHEERING]

[TV CONTINUES PLAYING]

[TV TURNS OFF]

[MARTY] How you feeling?

Every time they try to take
a pound of flesh, Marty,

I grow another layer of skin. [INHALES]

[EXHALES] How's my home?

- They're falling in line.
- Good.

It's not an easy job to be me.

Everyone's looking to you for answers,

angry if they don't get their ways.

How did my sister take the news of Javi?

She took it well, considering.

And my men? My men?

[INHALES] Well, you... you were right.

There was, uh, there
was someone who, uh,

tried to take advantage
of the situation.

Cabrera.

Uh, it... it has been handled.

Cabrera.

[EXHALES] I didn't
think he had it in him.

Increase the amount of money you
are laundering through the casino.

Uh, the... the others need to
be rewarded for their loyalty.

[GRUNTS] Marty.

[PANTING]

When you found out that it was Cabrera
who was the one who betrayed me,

did... did you hesitate to act?

No.

Then you played my part well.

Hey, there.

What's going on?

You have a guest.

[WENDY CHATTERING]

There was a hole in the
hill... [CONTINUES INDISTINCT]

Sure as rain...

- [MARTY] Hi, there.
- [CAMILA CHUCKLES]

- [WENDY CHUCKLES]
- How's my brother?

He's, uh, he's alert.
He's recovering quickly.

I reached out to Camila.

She and I are gonna join
you in Chicago tomorrow.

I'm gonna take her to meet Clare

to talk about the... the stock
options she promised Javi.

[MARTY] Mm.

I really appreciate you both
looking out for my interest.

Any luck about getting
me in to see my brother?

Unfortunately, no.

[CAMILA] But you'll keep trying.

- Well, I shall leave.
- [WENDY CHUCKLES] Oh.

- Thank you for the wine.
- [WENDY] Of course.

- [CHUCKLES] Here, I'll show you out.
- Thank you.

[DOOR CLOSES]

It's the smartest play.

She wants to f*cking k*ll him.

No, she's gonna help us get Clare back.

Please, this is about not
taking money from Ruth.

No, no, no. Ruth is a short-term
solve to a long-term problem.

If she gets us Clare, it
funds the foundation for years.

- But we can't f*cking trust her.
- I don't need to trust her!

We just need to use her, and we will.

It's gonna work.

[RUTH CLEARS THROAT]

- You're mad at me, aren't you?
- [RUTH] I'm folding a f*cking towel.

I'm sorry it didn't go well with
the sheriff the other day. I...

I just don't do good
with authority figures.

They remind me of my mother.

- I know. I know. I'm working on it.
- [RUTH] Work harder.

Hey, Ruth. You got a sec?

[RUTH] Uh.

I'm sorry if Mel came on strong.

He seems to think you know
more than you're letting on.

Sorry. I don't.

Hmm. Jonah said you and
Ben were good together.

You saw the best parts of him. Yeah.

I don't wanna get you in trouble,
Ruth. I just wanna find my son.

Sometimes I wish he never came here.

This wasn't a good place for him.

[NATHAN] Hmm.

I saw you and Wendy
arguing at the bake sale.

Now, this... this rift
between her and Jonah,

eh, this feels way bigger
than just growing pains.

Did you offer Jonah a job here

'cause you're trying to
protect him from my daughter?

I hired him because he's a
smart kid and a good worker.

Well, at least someone's
watching out for him.

- Thank you.
- Hmm.

[KNOCKS]

Hi, Ginny.

[LAUGHING] Oh, God!

- Oh!
- Yeah.

- I'll go grab him.
- Okay. [CHUCKLES]

Okay.

[RACHEL LAUGHS] Hey, buddy.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[RACHEL] Hey.

- Hey. I'm okay. Are you okay?
- [SOBBING]

- [TUCK] I'm okay.
- That's good.

- Thanks, Ginny.
- Thanks, Mom.

So, how's everything at the Blue Cat?

Oh, I stopped working there.

What do you mean?

People s-stopped coming
after the casino opened.

The new managers stopped
scheduling me, so I left.

What?

Why... why didn't... why
didn't you tell me this befo...

does Marty know?

No, I didn't wanna bother him.

Well, where you working now?

Nowhere. Bad luck, I guess.

How long are you in town for?

I head back later today.

Oh, too bad.

I found some new fishing spots
that I wanted to show you.

[CHUCKLES] Oh, yeah?

- What's biting these days?
- Everything.

- Catfish, bass.
- [CHUCKLES]

- Bluegill.
- [LAUGHS]

I asked you for one thing.

One!

Did you know that Tuck
left the Blue Cat?

Uh, I... uh, no, I did not.

You promised you'd keep an eye on him.

He doesn't have a job.

Well, I'm sorry. I... I'm...
I've been very, very busy.

I would have, uh, I would
have given him something

in two seconds had I known.

Oh, f*ck you, Marty!
We're all f*cking busy.

I-I-I was busy getting
sober and filing bankruptcy

on a shitty f*cking diner
halfway across the country.

You were right f*cking here.

I'm... I'm... I'm very sorry.

I don't know why I trusted you.

I mean, you're the same selfish
assh*le you always were.

- Now you just own a bigger boat.
- [BEEPS]

- [BEEPS]
- Look, I...

[EXHALES]

What the f*ck?

He installed the dogwoods
where the boxwoods should go.

Yeah, it's a mess.

Okay, keep me posted.

Don't you just hate it when
the landscaper fucks up?

What the hell are you doing here?
We are not in business anymore.

[CHUCKLES] We aren't,
but you and Javi are.

And... and his mother Camila,

the one you promised
the stock options to.

She's made the trek all the
way from Mexico to collect.

Javi's dead. I don't owe her anything.

[WENDY] Clare.

This is the sister of a cartel boss

we're talking about. Show some respect.

See you at one.

[HANNAH] How's Navarro?

Hey. Um,

he's... he's holding on.

You know, he's still... he's a ways off

from getting back on his feet, but...

Your time in Mexico?

Did you golf?

Visit the pyramids?

Am I missing something?
You seem pissed off.

I just got a call from
the head of Special Ops.

The money truck headed to
New Orleans that you gave us.

It was empty.

You wanna tell me what
the f*ck is going on?

Sure do.

I made a judgment call.

I told them to get a
decoy out there, uh,

before I got on the
airplane this morning.

That wasn't your decision to make.

Hmm. No, but listen, you
know, I spent a week in Mexico

gaining the trust of an entire cartel,

and if you wanna tell your bosses

that you would have rather risked
all that for a seizure, do it.

You want me to be
Navarro? Let me do my job.

[INHALES] This deal is contingent

on you upholding your
end of the bargain.

You'll get your money
when it is safe, okay?

I'll make sure it's double.

- [DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
- [SIGHS]

[CLARE] This is the best I can offer.

It's enough shares to reap the benefits,

but not enough to raise
eyebrows with my board.

- This is fair.
- [CLARE] Hmm.

What about our other deal?

[CLARE] There is no other deal.

My son was very clear when he called.

He said you agreed on a five-year deal

for us to supply your raw materials.

In addition to a $ million
donation for the Byrde Foundation.

Of course.

[CHUCKLES]

We didn't have that in writing.

[CAMILA] Hmm.

[EXHALES] If my son said
you agreed, then you agreed.

He was very clear. It was the
last thing he ever said to me.

[WENDY] As I explained
to Mrs. Elizondro,

Shaw Medical is a family
business, just like hers.

And like any family, we hold each
other accountable to our commitments.

[CAMILA] So,

when should I tell my brother
to send the next shipment?

I'll have Connor reach
out to your people.

Oh, and I'll need the balance
of your original donation

by end of the afternoon.

We can work on an
installment plan for the rest.

[EXHALES]

How bad you want that casino?

Bad.

You k*ll somebody in the cartel?

Yeah. The guy who k*lled Wyatt.

[RACHEL] They coming after you?

Byrdes can't give me up without
causing problems for themselves.

[INHALES] You gonna keep
dealing Darlene's dr*gs?

No.

I was honest about that.

Why are you doing this?

And don't give me that hard sell, Ruth.

I just wanna hear it from my friend.

Either I do this or I
go back in that trailer,

and I never come out.

[INHALES] As much as I wanna
put the Byrdes in their place...

[SCOFFS]

[INHALES] If I agree to do this...

I need you to be honest
with me from here on in.

Understood?

Yeah.

Well, that's good 'cause I was not

too excited about going back to Florida.

I've dated too many
guys with pet pythons.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

What that's about.

[LAUGHING]

How many guys with pet
pythons have you dated?

- If I said three, would you judge me?
- Yes.

- Okay, two, then.
- [LAUGHS, SIGHS]

[RACHEL SIGHS]

What's the plan?

[SCOFFS] Hell if I should know.

Sounds like you put a
lot of thought into it.

[RUTH SCOFFS]

[VEHICLE ACCELERATING]

Darlene had a stake in the casino.

And your cousin married her.

Does Wyatt have a will?

Kid ate spaghetti out of a can and
used a screwdriver to start his car.

- What do you think?
- [LAUGHS]

You talk to a lawyer?

No, the last time I spoke to
a lawyer, she waterboarded me.

Not really my kind of people.

Well...

you may not need the Byrdes after all.

[WENDY] Hey.

Clare's on board.

Yeah, great. Uh, where's, um, Camila?

She's grabbing coffee for
the road. What's wrong?

Okay, uh, the last seizure
that I gave the Feds

turned out to be a decoy.

I don't... I don't understand.

Well, I gave the order to Javi's lawyer,

and then I saw her talking
to Camila right afterwards.

Camila's trying to... she's
trying to flush us out.

How did Clay take it?

Uh, I covered, you know, for now.

But we gotta get Camila out
of the f*cking picture, Wendy.

- It's complicated.
- It's simple. It's not complicated at all.

We tell Navarro the truth,
he takes care of the rest.

- We can't.
- We can.

I promised her we would
take her to see him.

What the f*ck is... ah.

The good news is when you filed
to be your cousin's legal guardian,

you can see right there,
you were listed as his heir.

That's a binding will.

Uh, does that mean I have
a claim to Darlene's estate?

[REBECCA] I venture to say you
have a claim to half, if not all.

The casino's a different story though.

[HESITATES] Ultimately, getting
your name on that license

is up to the state gaming commission.

What do you recommend?

If you've got friends in high
places, now is the time to call 'em.

[RACHEL] Holy sh*t!
Is that Jonah Byrde?

Tuck wasn't lying when he said you
turned into a giant. Come here, man.

How you doing?

So, what... what are you doing here?

She's helping me take
Darlene's share of the casino.

Cool.

Hey, listen. You know who
your, um, parents were lobbying

when they were getting
the casino up and running?

There was a bunch of...
politicians and the casino board.

But Mom mainly worked with
a guy named Charles Wilkes.

He owns, like, half the
politicians in the state.

The only thing is you can't
just get a meeting with him.

You have to ask for an
appointment, and then,

if he thinks you have
something to offer,

he'll invite you to his lake house.

[BOTH] Hmm.

So, how the f*ck are we
supposed to get an invitation?

[CHUCKLES]

Tell him the meeting's for Mike Fleming.

[WENDY] What's going on?

[NATHAN] It's about Ben.

We need to talk.

Uh, why don't I give you some time?
You take those, and I'll, um...

Charlotte, why don't...
why don't you join me?

[MEL] When was the
last time you saw Ben?

The day we had him committed.

[MEL] That was taken outside
a toll booth in St. Louis.

It was two days after Ben was released.

[NATHAN] He's also got the two of you

outside a gas station and a diner.

May I speak to my father
in private, please?

[MEL SIGHS]

You should never have hired that man.

And you should've been
honest from the start.

Ben's not missing, is he?

You've been lying this entire
time. It was you. You broke him.

I protected him.

Do you know why I had him committed?

He started a bar fight in Kansas City.

It was the only way to help
him avoid as*ault charges.

Freshman year. Remember
how bad that got?

This was worse. And when he got
out, he was so angry with me.

He refused to go back to North Carolina.

He wouldn't stay here,
so I made a deal with him.

I told him I would take him to Memphis

where he could stay with friends.

And in exchange, he would check
himself into an outpatient facility

and get back on his meds.

But you never made it
to Memphis, did you?

Mel said that you left him
at a diner in Kentucky. Why?

We got in a fight.

He told me to leave.

I sat on the side of the road for hours,

waiting for him to
call, but he never did.

You know there's a bench warrant
out for his arrest at home?

He's running.

I don't think he wants to be found.

Why didn't you tell me all this before?

[LAUGHS] And say what?

"Ben's wanted by the state police?"

What, would your church friends
pray for him if they knew that?

[NATHAN] All I ever wanted was
the truth, and you hid it from me.

You have never wanted the truth.

[NATHAN] You don't know
me as well as you think.

I worked hard to keep Ben out
of trouble when he was in Boone.

He made a lot of good
choices because of me.

He stayed on his meds. He
trained to be a teacher.

I tried my best with both you children.

You humiliated me and
drove me out of the house.

Well, you're a lot less easy to love.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Hmm.

How was Chicago?

Uh, it was, uh...

it was fine.

You don't seem fine.

No?

Let me guess.

- Mom did something?
- [CHUCKLES]

What makes you say that?

Please. She's been a lot for weeks. I...

This Jonah and Ruth thing and
wanting me to pick sides. I don't...

She means well.

So I'm told.

I know that you only went
to Mexico to make her happy.

Yeah, I mean, look,

uh...

you know, Charlotte,
your mom wants to be

in the driver's seat, and it's fine.

And I'm doing everything I can
to support her, but holy sh*t.

She's just... she's steering
us right off a cliff.

Um, and, uh...

I know I told you that everything
went smoothly in Mexico,

but, um, but I lied.

I was filling in for
Navarro, and I made a mistake.

Um...

a big one.

And I come home, and
she blindsides me with,

you know, partnering
with Navarro's sister,

who by the way, just tried
to assassinate him in prison.

And you know, and you got
this f*cking Ben thing.

And you know, no matter what I
do, I'm... I'm the f*cking assh*le.

No matter what I say, what I do.

I get in her way, she gets pissed.

I out of her way, she finds
another reason to get mad at me.

And you know, it's like it's
f*cking, uh, rigged, you know?

Uh, but...

Sorry, I'm... it's not
your job to worry about me.

But I appreciate it.

Maybe you two should try to go
see that marriage counselor again.

She retired. Uh...

Yeah, she's no longer, uh...

- Yeah.
- ... an option.

[TV PLAYING]

- [MAN] Jeannie, come back. Where are you?
- [ANNALISE LAUGHS]

[MAN] Yeah, I-I wanna get
this settled right now.

[LAUGHS]

- [DOOR OPENS]
- Hey, hon.

How'd it go with Wendy?

Still plays it like
everything's my fault.

Hmm. Well, she'll come around.

"Daughters and their daddies,

they may not always see eye to eye,

but they will always
see heart-to-heart."

I saw that on a T-shirt once.

You okay?

You know what? I don't think I am.

[INHALES] I think I might
need to pray on this one.

- You want me to rally the troops?
- No, don't go bothering them, just...

If it's all right with you,
I'll just take some time alone.

Of course.

- I'll see you in the morning.
- Mm-hmm.

Dear Lord Jesus, please bring peace

to your soldier Nathan
and to his family.

- And anoint him with the oil of your love.
- [EXHALING]

In your name I pray. Amen.

[KISSES]

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Can I help you?

We're Mike Fleming.

All right, look, I
don't know who you are

or what game you think
you're playing, okay?

But I got work to do.

Oh, before you slam the door
in our faces, you should know

that this woman is in line to become

the largest landowner in the Ozarks.

And with your help, the largest
stake owner in the Missouri Belle.

Oh, thank you.

[MEL] Hmm.

[MAYA] Where did you get this?

Security cam from the last
place I tracked Ben Davis to.

It wasn't till I saw this guy

parked outside their
place, something clicked.

[BABY FUSSING]

So, you know who this guy is?

He's a heavy for the
Navarro drug cartel.

Are you sure?

He put a bag over my head and
drove me to a private airfield.

I'm sure.

I take it this was before you
went all scorched Earth. [CHUCKLES]

Look, I'm taking my cues off you
here, so you gotta talk to me.

Am I slowing down? Am I speeding up?

- Do I pass go?
- [MAYA] Oh, you pass go.

You're sure?

I uprooted my life,
eight months pregnant,

put my newborn child in harm's way.

They wanna sideline me, fine.

I'm on the sidelines, but
you don't work for them.

So, yeah, you pass f*cking go.

Camila.

[SIGHS, KISSES]

[SIGHING]

[CAMILA IN SPANISH] Look
at what they've done to you.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Are you in any pain?

Hmm. It's temporary.

I rest easy knowing the man who did this

suffered worse.

- [CAMILA KISSES]
- My children, how are they?

- Santiago's started crawling.
- Oh. [LAUGHS]

He'll probably be sprinting by
the time I get out of this place.

Don't lose hope.

[IN ENGLISH] From what
I have witnessed...

[OMAR] Hmm.

Marty and Wendy, they
can move mountains.

They'll get you home.

Sí.

Speaking of home...

what would you say to Camila taking

Marty's place as your
emissary in Mexico?

It's just that we need Marty to
help get you off the SDN list.

Camila can travel freely.
She knows the business.

And there's good will towards
her since Javi's passing.

- [OMAR] Hmm?
- Anything.

Anything I can do to help.

Sí.

Marty, what do you think?

She's your sister. The men trust her.

Good.

This is better.

[HORNS HONKING]

[JACKHAMMER DRILLING]

[HONKING CONTINUES]

I did this for you so you wouldn't
have to go down there again.
