02x17 - Family Matters

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "Big Sky"...

Jenny, if you keep going after
them, they're gonna k*ll you.

We need to tidy your mess. Scarlet.

Where is she?

I don't know.

No! No!

I have feelers out for
Scarlet and Phoebe.

Figure they have to resurface
at some point.

Yeah, definitely. Keep me posted.

JAG: Last I checked,
Dad still calls the sh*ts.

- REN: Could confront him.
- No.

You're right. We're way past talking.

Dad's getting old... he's
making questionable choices.

- You want to force Dad out?
- Do we have a choice?

It's gonna have to come from me.

I just need you to tell me
who runs the Bhullar Cartel.

[GRUNTS]

[g*nsh*t]

Turns out Alicia is a lawyer,

and she paid the sheriff a
little visit after that raid.

More than likely she's gonna end up dead

like the, uh, waitress in Seattle.

That's the second time
you've mentioned her.

Do you wanna tell me something?

Hey, can I help you, friend?

I certainly hope so.

[g*n COCKS]

I'm here to meet Veer Bhullar.

[MONITOR BEEPING]

How is he?

Sedated. He'll be fine.

[SIGHS]

Now he just needs his rest.

If you don't mind.

I actually wanna be here
when he wakes up.

I don't think that's such a good idea.

No, it's okay. I'm...
I'm gonna stick around.

I understand how you feel, Miss Hoyt.

How do you know my name?

Oh. Small town.

I like to know who's looking out for us.

That's good.

I'm still gonna stick around.

Well...

I'll give you two some time then.



[MONITOR BEEPING]

Ma'am, no one's supposed
to be in this room.

Oh, it's okay. I've already
talked to the other nurse.

I'm the only one on the wing tonight.







[AIRPLANE ENGINE WHIRRING]

[VEHICLE DOOR OPENS]

[YAWNS]

Finally. Been waiting all night.

Gonna sit in front.

JAG: Everything okay?

How do you mean?

Well, you went to see Stewart, right?

About the financials?

Mm-hmm.

You do know there's this
thing called Zoom, right?

Jag, that's you chattering.

Just like you did when you were little

and you wanted another biscuit.

You knew the answer.

Why don't you just ask
for the biscuit, son?

We both know who cut the dr*gs, okay?

And?

Why did you do it?

Was it about the money?

It's always about the money.

Okay, great.

Now, is there something else
you would like to discuss?

Me and Ren think that you
should take a step back

- from running things.
- Ah, you and Ren. Okay.

We've been worried about
some of the decisions

- you've been making.
- Don't you challenge my decisions,

you spoiled little brat.

You need to step down.

My God.

Did she actually put you up to this?

No, she didn't, Dad.

It was our decision together.

Just like the move to Montana was?





Make me some chai, son.

And then find your sister.

A good airing of grievances
is just what...



- Where is my daughter?
- Are you the man in charge?

I'm thinkin' that ya are.

What have you done with my daughter?

Okay, I'm gonna need you to stop.

[g*n COCKS]

Please?

Dad, do what he says.

Ah, listen to your son.

My son is a fool.

Well, the three of us...

we're taking a ride.



CASSIE: Tubb's gonna
be okay, though, right?

[SIGHS] I hope so.

He was still out of it when I left.

Ah, he'll be fine. It's not the
first time he's been sh*t.

Something else bothering you?

There was a weird guy in Tubb's room.

Weird how?

He said he was a nurse, but he wasn't.

You think he could have been
connected to the cartel?

I-I put a guard on his
room, just in case.

Smart. Okay, let's focus
on the current problem.

Where's Richard?

No, I still cannot believe that
he would ever sh**t a cop.

That is not the guy
that I thought I knew.

Well, grief affects us in
ways we can't predict.

Richard thinks the police failed him.

So, we've gotta find him
before he hurts anybody else.

Or before one of my deputies
tries to get payback.

Okay, so, first goes to Mason's friend,

then Dietrich, then Tubb.

He's clearly on a mission.

Sooner or later he's gonna show
up on the Bhullars' doorstep.

He could be there right now.

Only one way to find out.



[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]



Travis's truck.

We didn't exactly creep in here.

Where's the welcome wagon?

Look.

I don't like this.



This count for probable cause?

Guess we'll find out.



Clear.



Police!

- Anybody here?!
- REN: Up here!



What happened?

Some guy came in here with a g*n.

The kind of criminals
you should be focused on.

Yeah, we know who he is.

Oh, great.

Well, he clocked Stone
and he handcuffed us.

You okay?

Hello.

This guy has my father and my brother.

Where'd he take them?

To get ice cream. How
am I supposed to know?

I think I know where.

- Let's go.
- Wait!

Aren't you gonna let us go?

I prefer you with your hands tied.

Every time I take my eyes
off you, another body drops.



[g*n COCKS]

Get out. Walk around and open his door.

If you try and run, I'll sh**t him.



Where are you taking us?

Oh, my son, his life
ended right up there.

And that's where your
lives are gonna end.

JENNY: Tell me why
I'm trying to stop this.

The Bhullars are monsters.

Richard would be doing me,
doing the entire town, a favor.

That's not who you are.

That's not who I am.

I want no part in thinking that way.

We stop all of this, no matter what.

The Bhullars need to go down.

Maybe you and Travis can figure out how.

[CHUCKLES] I'm not so sure
we're on the same team anymore.

Then do something.
Try to get through to him.

Right now, the only thing I can hope for

is that he gets out of this mess alive.

[SIGHS]



What was his name?

Your son.

Mason.

Mason was weak, I take it?

People who do dr*gs are.

Mason wasn't weak.

But it was his choice to do dr*gs.

No one forced him to.

But I-I understand why you're looking
for someone to blame. I know.

I know what it is to have a weak son.

Only so much we fathers can do.

The choice was his.

Listen, we have money.

I know that's not gonna
bring your son back, but...

if you walk away and let us go...

you'll be compensated.

Money?

Well, at this point, what else is there?

Now you have a choice.

Make the wise one.

Choice.

How 'bout this? Which one of you...

am I gonna k*ll first?



You...



... or your son?



Keep walking.



Mm.

What?

I'm thinking we do this now.

Do what?

I show you mine, you show me yours.

We'll swap secrets.

- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Okay, I'll go first.

Major vibes with blondie.

Again, no idea.

I know you're a cop, Stone.

Stone, ugh, such a stupid, macho name.

I hate that I thought it was hot.

What do I... What do I have to do?

Like, k*ll another person
in front of you

- to prove my loyalty, what?
- Right,

Mr. Bob with the Kn*fe in his throat.

That just bought you time.

I just kept asking myself,
"Well... Well, if he's a cop,

then why haven't I been arrested?

It's not like he hasn't seen anything."

No, you'd seen too much.

I kept going back and forth with myself.

Then you asked about the girl.

Then it all clicked.

Kate Garza.

I looked into her.

She wasn't just my dad's girlfriend,

she was an informant.

And my dad found out and she disappeared

and now you want to know
what happened to her.

Isn't that right... Travis?



Well, Ren, if you know all that,

why am I still breathing?

That is the question, isn't it?





We're gonna do this my way now.

And what way is that?

All right, stop. Right there.



Look, I'm sorry.

Okay?

- We're both very sorry.
- Down on your knees.



Both of ya.

This isn't you.

You don't know anything.

I know that you're not a k*ller.

- Right?
- Not before.

But you turned me into one.



There's his car.



- This... is for Mason.
- [g*n COCKS]

Please. Look, you're gonna regret
this for the rest of your life.

At least I'll know I did something

to stop another kid from dying.

Then just k*ll my son.

He's the one responsible
for your son's death.

He's the one in charge of everything.

Isn't that right, Jagat?



What... What are you doing?

I'm getting up so I can walk away

and forget that I ever saw you.

- Get back on your knees.
- I think not.

You're not gonna do anything.

- Dad?
- I'll sh**t!

- I will!
- Dad!

[SCREAMS]

[g*nsh*t]

[BODY THUDS]







JENNY: Drop the g*n!



- Now, Richard!
- RICHARD: I'm sorry.

I'm... I'm gonna go see Mason now.

Richard, just... don't! Richard.

Richard, look at me.

Think of Mona.

Mona needs your help.

Don't bring my wife into this.
My wife is innocent.

Richard.

[SIGHS]

The dr*gs Mason took, they were hers.

No.

No, that ca... that can't be true.

Yes, it is, and she needs
you to forgive her.

No. No.

Okay, Richard, look at me.

Your daughter needs you.

- Please.
- Richard.



A girl needs her father.

And I know this because I lost mine.

So you don't do this to Hayden.

You don't do this. You hear me?

Please.

Put the g*n down.



[SIGHS]



Okay.

[HANDCUFFS CLANKING]

- Yeah, I got a pulse.
- Call an ambulance.

JENNY: Hey.

Everything's gonna be okay.

- No, it's not.
- Yes, it is.

You're gonna be okay.

We'll get you the help
that you need, okay?





REN: Where's my brother?

JENNY: ICU.

We stabilized him long enough
for the ambulance to arrive.

You're welcome.

Am I supposed to thank
you for doing your job?

[CHUCKLES]

When are you gonna realize there's
no place for you here in Helena?

Is this "High Noon"?

- Am I supposed to get my black hat?
- Your brother got sh*t

because of what your
family's doing in this town.

I could have left him
bleeding in the dirt.

Maybe I should have. Back off.

- What about my father?
- Can't help you.

It's fine. I'll have
Travis look into it.

- What did you say?
- Travis.

Your friend.

I know he used to be a cop,
but now he works for me.

So helpful.

Man of many talents.

But I think you know that, right?

I don't know what you're talking about.

You should ask him about
our friend Bob sometime.

'Cause watching Travis s*ab
him to keep his own cover...

Whew! I'm not really into surprises,

but that one really got me.

I sure hope nothing bad
happens to your father.

Dangerous world out there.



I'll go look into finding your dad.

No, just stay here with me.



- Hi.
- Hey.

I can't stop thinking about Richard.

What's gonna happen to
him and that family?

Yeah, I... I'm just
glad it wasn't worse.

Well, thanks to you and Jenny.

You did good today.

You can acknowledge that.

Yeah, it doesn't feel like it.

It's hard to think of anything
that's good lately.

Did I ever tell you about my
first day working for your dad?

No.

Well, I was nervous 'cause
I really needed the job

and I just didn't want to screw up.

So, anyway, he tells me to
get him a cup of coffee.

So I get it for him.

And I make it exactly the way he likes.

One cream, one sugar.

That's right.

And so I go to give it to him

and I spill it all over his lap.

[LAUGHS] Oh, no.

Yes, and I thought,
"Well, it's your first day

and it's also now your last day."

But you know what your dad did?

He made a joke.

Mm-hmm. He told me that he was sorry

that he didn't specify that
he likes his coffee in a cup.

So that became our thing, you know.

One cream, one sugar,

- and in a cup.
- In a cup, in a cup.

[SIGHS]

I really miss him.

And, you know, with Ronald being gone,

I thought that that was gonna
make some difference.

But it hasn't. At all.

My dad's still gone and, somehow,

Scarlet's still out there
with an innocent little girl.

What kind of world do we live in?

It's okay to talk about
how you feel, honey.

You need to.

Yeah, I've been thinking
about what you said

about the grief counseling, so...

Well, I just think it's a good idea.

There are other people
who have gone through

what you've gone through.

Yeah, thank you.

Mm.



[WATER RUNNING]

Honey?

What happened to you?

[GROANS]

You... You went for a run.
I went for a long walk.

- [SCOFFS]
- [VEHICLE DOOR CLOSES]

You know, I-I'll explain it later.

Ex-Explain what?

Jag is in the hospital
with a b*llet in his chest.

But I'm glad to see you're okay, Dad.

Honey, what is she talking about?

Yeah, if you could fill us all in,

I would love to know what happened.

Okay, what would you
like to discuss first?

The unavoidable cost of doing business

or my own family trying to take me down?

Don't blame Jag for your mistakes.

I'm blaming both of you.

Plotting behind my back like rats.

Ah, there it is.



See, I had the most
interesting conversation

with your little brother
before our little mishap.

Um, can... can... can we
all just take a timeout

and tell me what the hell
this conversation is about?

Reenu can tell you everything.

Because, like all of Jagat's ideas,
they take root in her head.

You know, your mother had
this very same problem.

Don't you dare.

So it wasn't your idea?

Dad.

What happened?

All you need to know
is my time is not over.

We're talking about your son.

Can't you just admit that
the fact that he got sh*t

is because you cut our
product with rat poison?

Cutting poison with poison...
what a monstrous idea.

Spare us the sanctimony and
answer me this one question.

When you imagined
taking over my business,

how long did you plan on stringing

your poor little brother along
before cutting him loose?

What, Reenu, second in line
was never your destiny.

From the moment Jagat was born,

all he ever did was get in your way.

- I'm done here.
- I'm not!



You really think you
can do better than me?

I know I can.

Just home.

Where's that?

You know, I'm happy to swing

Soon as I get my food.

I know I sure get pretty disagreeable

on an empty stomach.

We're good.

Thanks.

[POLICE SIREN CHIRPS]





Jag Bhullar?

Right down the hall? You're kidding me.

JENNY: In way worse shape than you.

[CHUCKLES]

Richard, how's he?

You're a good man.

Richard sh**t you
and you ask how he is?

Well, Richard's a good man, too.

Or he was. Hell, I don't know anymore.

[CHUCKLES]

Now, are you gonna tell me
why you're really here?

You got that look in your eye.

Travis. He's disappeared.

He checked out of his motel

and his phone goes
straight to voicemail.

Well, it's not the first time we've
had trouble tracking him down.

This is different.

Ren knows he's a cop.

Told me he switched sides.

Straight up bragged about it to me.


He's been undercover for how long,

can't make a case?

He's either terrible at
his job or he's dirty.

Or there's something else.

Let me guess, something you know
about and aren't telling me?

Well, whatever it is, Jenny,
you need to forget about him.

No, I-I don't think I could do that.

Well, then try harder.

What if you need to take him down?

You need to be prepared
for anything, Jenny.

And not just when it comes to Travis.

Others think the same.

County's bringing someone in to
be acting sheriff while I'm down.

I'm already acting sheriff.

They just want someone who has
experience managing a department.

Don't worry, I'll make sure it's someone

- who's a help to you.
- I don't need any help.

Yeah, you do.

Okay, fine.

As long as it's temporary.

No way I'm letting
you go down like this.

Deal.

Oh, hey.

What's with the guard outside the door?



I was here earlier

and there was someone here
that shouldn't have been.

What, you think the Bhullars?

Could be.

Or possibly the syndicate.



[SIGHS]

An insurance release for Jag.

They need a family member to sign it.

- Now?
- Yes, now.

Just sign it by the little flaggies.

[PAGES FLIPPING]



You know, you, uh, still haven't
told me exactly what happened.

Jagat stepped out of line,

and that comes with consequences.

Younger generation, as sensitive
and misguided as they are,

they are supposed to pick
up where we left off.

It's what happens.
It's what's supposed to happen.

Well, my children are not ready.

Every day proves that more and more.



You're the one who's not ready.

Hmm.

Boy, I thought you understood.

I thought you were on my side.

- I am.
- Good.

Then I don't need to remind you

that you would be nothing without me.

Careful, sweetheart.

My love, like my wise
counsel, has its limits.

Ah, honey, don't you thr*aten me.

And right now, I don't
want your wise counsel.

Oh, I'm aware.

But you will listen to me.

Walk away.

Or you can fight it
out with your children

until your last breath.

Maybe you'll win, maybe you won't.

But either way, it will be a future

that does not include me.





PHOEBE: Mom, where are
we gonna sleep tonight?

[SIGHS]

I don't know yet, sweetheart.

We'll figure it out.

Together.

- [SIGHS]
- [KNOCK AT DOOR]

Be right out.

[HARDER KNOCK AT DOOR]



I said there's someone in here.

HUMBERT: Tell me something, Scarlet.

Do you miss Ronald?



Because you're gonna see him real soon.





Scarlet.

We know you made a copy of something

that wasn't yours.



You need to tell me where it is.

Otherwise, I'll k*ll Phoebe, too.







My dad d*ed recently.

He was k*lled.

m*rder*d, actually.

And, um...



... I know I shouldn't
be thinking this way.



It hap... It happened because of me.

[SIGHS]

Sorry, I can't.

There's no pressure to share.

Especially on your first day.



It's okay, I want to.

Go on, then.

Take your time.



[SIGHS]

Whenever I-I think about
my dad being gone

[VOICE BREAKING] it hurts so much...

... that I... I didn't
know if I could...



... stay in the house that we lived in.

Um... [SNIFFLES]

[SIGHS] Then I decided I...

I'm not gonna be chased away
from my home and my job.

The man who k*lled my dad isn't gone.

He'll never be gone.

And if I'm being honest,

part of me wants him...

to stay there.

It feels safer, somehow,
to remember the pain.

[SIGHS] I don't know if
I'm making any sense.

Um...



... he's a reminder to
never let my guard down.



Yeah.



When can we see him?

After Ren. Family first.

Nice flowers.

I should have brought something.

You never liked Jag.

I know that.

For the record, didn't not like.

It's just, I'm Ren's right hand.

But now he's hurt and she's sad.

So I'm gonna pretend to feel something.

Maybe next time I'll bring a fern.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

Maybe it's better to
do nothing. For now.

There's a lot to deal with.

Do you mean Stone/Travis, the cop?

That.

I don't know why Ren hasn't
asked me to k*ll him yet.

Maybe she has a plan.

I'll await further instructions.

Yeah.



Look at you.

Still handsome after
four hours of surgery.

I heard one of the nurses
talking about your stupid hair.

So I'm gonna make a deal with you.

You get better

and I'll bring that stupid beard
oil that you obsess over.

Just don't ask me to rub it in
'cause that would be weird.

Just, um...

make sure it's organic.

Really?

You wake up and the first
thing you do is pick a fight?

- [BOTH CHUCKLE]
- No.

No more fights.

Agreed.



Where's Dad?

Home.

What happened out there?

He didn't tell you?



Miss Hoyt.

We need to pull Travis
out. He's compromised.

I've been telling you that for weeks.

The Bhullars know he's a cop.

Miss Hoyt, are you familiar
with the concept

of collateral damage?

You, of all people, should
understand that at some point

an asset stops being an asset

and becomes a calculated loss.

Are you saying you want
to cut Travis loose?

I'm saying, Travis chose his own path

and it is not ours to follow him on it.

You can't be serious. We can't
just abandon one of our own.

The decision has been made,

and there's nothing I can do about it.



Then I'll do it.

I would strongly advise
against that, Miss Hoyt.



[CELLPHONE VIBRATES]

Hello?

Who is this?

SCARLET: I have
information that you want.


Scarlet?

The girls. The sex trafficking.

The people Ronald and the
Legarskis were working with,

- I have...
- Mom, I'm hungry.

Okay, sweetheart, we'll
get something soon.

Mommy's on the phone, okay?

My God, Scarlet, you still
have Phoebe with you?

Yeah, of course I do. She's my daughter.

I want to make a trade.

Information for a better
life for me and Phoebe.

[SCOFFS]

That's not how this works.

It can if you make it.

No, you don't get to walk away.

Wolf told us about his
deal with the syndicate.

If you run, they will find you.

It doesn't matter where.

Mexico, Canada.

Maybe it'll take a year, maybe longer.

But Phoebe deserves
more out of this life.

- Stop trying to scare me.
- You should be scared.

You and Ronald k*lled innocent people.

You are the furthest
thing from a victim.

You should watch how you talk to me.

I could come for you.

Oh, I'll be waiting.

You k*lled... the love of my life.

I'd do it again.

Give Phoebe up.

It's your only good option.

I could protect her, Scarlet.

[PHONE CLICKS]

Scarlet?

Scarlet?



[SCOFFS]

We need to stop meeting like this.

I'm here to say goodbye, Jenny.

Goodbye? Travis, Ren knows you're a cop.

We need to get you out right now.

No.

No, it's just not as simple
as that anymore.

If this is about you k*lling Bob,

we'll figure it out.

Ain't about Bob.

Ain't about Ren.

And it ain't about you and me.

This is about Kate Garza.

Yeah, I'm gonna see
this through for her.



Travis, what... what about us?

I didn't plan on this.
I didn't plan on us.

[WHISPERING] Then... don't do this.

I have to.

'Cause this is the only
thing I'm here to do.
