Deputy (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - 10-8 Entitlements - full transcript

I'm running for sheriff.

BISHOP:
You okay with that?

Ah, it's a free world.

If he wants to--

I've lost my purpose here.

Especially since the accident.

So what are you
gonna do about it?

I know what I want.
Intelligence Analyst.

Thinking about getting
a drink at the bar,

if you wanna join me.

Did you just flirt with me?



No.

MAN:
Now that Undersheriff London

has announced
his candidacy,

you should begin
to coordinate with him--

No.

You gonna run?
'Cause I think you should.

It's not that simple.

You want me to spy.

If that means
looking out for yourself

and that promotion
you worked so hard for,

yes.

JOSEPH:
Sheriff's Department!

? ?

(yells, groans)



MINNICK: Keep moving.

(Minnick groans)

(intense music playing)

(rapid gunfire)

Damn it!

MINNICK: Well, I'm dead.

Shot a hostage.
Destroyed a family.

They'll sue you, the department,
and the county.

You'll be put on leave,
then fired.

Start a new career
working the drive-through.

I didn't know he had a hostage.

You were anticipating, boot.

The whole point
of this exercise

is to enhance
your decision making,

cut down reaction time.

You're out here
trying to set a new record

for murdering civilians.

Think before you shoot.

How about you give me some tips

instead of telling me
how bad I'm doing?

I just did.

Now watch your tone
and try to listen.

It might save your life one day.

Reset the course.

Let's go again.

? ?

(man panting)

OPERATOR (over phone): 911.
Please state the nature
of your emergency.

WOMAN (softly):
There's someone in my house.

Please help me.

OPERATOR:
Stay calm, ma'am.
I'm here with you.

(drawers slamming)

OPERATOR:
I see you're calling
from 2416 Wonderland,

is that correct?

Yes.
Please hurry.

OPERATOR:
Dispatching units now.

MAN:
Two minutes!

? ?

(pills rattling)

MAN: We gotta go!

There's two of them.

MAN:
Smile for the camera.

Oh, where did you get that?

MAN 2: Spoils of war.

(camera shutter clicking)

Let's bounce.

It's quiet tonight.

I was just thinking
the same thing.

I wonder which kind it is.

What do you mean?

If it's this the quiet
that comes after the storm or...

or the one before it.

Isn't your Mom coming tomorrow?

Could be both.

I think we better assume

that the storm
isn't gonna pass.

Now, the only quiet
we can rightfully expect

is up to us.

And the moments we choose.

Like right now?

Like this very second.

(cell phone buzzing)

Ohh. (sighs)

-London.
-Yeah.

-Yeah.
-LONDON: Bill?

I'm at the West Hollywood home
that was burglarized tonight

and I'm calling in my favor.

BILL (over phone):
You sure about that?

There's plenty more days
till the ballot box.

You might wanna
keep that powder dry.

I was under the impression that
Sheriff Hollister never rested

when the safety
of LA County was at stake.

Don't get all sanctimonious
on me, Jerry.

Your face might get stuck
that way.

West Hollywood City Council
is up in arms.

Third break-in this week.

This time...
someone was inside.

So, you're gonna
help me out or not?

BILL: Yeah,
I hear you, all right?

I'll meet you at the hall,
first thing tomorrow.

My, you better get
your slicker, cowboy.

I sense a storm coming.

Let's get back
to that quiet moment.

? ?

Why'd you send home
the responding deputies?

I thought this was
a pressing issue.

They filed their report.

I was hoping we could handle
the rest discreetly.

And why would we do that?

Bill, these people
are influential,

not just in the community.

We need to be respectful
of their privacy.

And I'm sure
it has nothing to do

with lining your
campaign pockets, right?

Not my pockets. Ours.

West Hollywood is
one of the department's
most lucrative contracts

and, between you and I,

they're considering a change.

(scoffs) We're not
the damn Pinkertons, Jerry.

We go where we're needed,
not to the highest bidder.

Look, I'll keep my word,

but I'm not helping you
get elected.

Remember, this is a favor.

-Who are you calling?
-Cavalry.

Oh...

(theme music playing)

(rattles)

Genevieve?

GENEVIEVE:
What do you want?

My clothes.

First day of Majors.
I can't be late.

-Can we please talk?
-(sighs)

Every time we talk, we fight.

BISHOP:
I don't wanna fight.

I love you.

You're my partner. I need
to be able to talk to you.

Then you shouldn't have
lied to me.

-I didn't lie!
-You told me you were a woman.

And now I hear
that's not the whole truth.

Actually you assumed
I was a woman,

and in what should
come as no surprise,

I'm a little more
complicated than that.

Look, Gen...

this is me
finally living my truth.

Being the most authentic
version of myself.

And I need you
to understand that.

I do.

I just...

I just feel like I don't know
who you are anymore.

I'm the same person
you fell in love with.

I haven't changed.

I'm still me. I'm just
a clearer version of me.

I need time to process this.

BILL: ...so residents
needs to be vigilant.

Keep your doors locked,

report any strange cars
parked outside,

and don't walk alone at night.

This goes for the whole county.

Just because they stuck
to West Hollywood

doesn't mean they
won't try new territory.

So everyone
needs to be on alert.

We can end this
before it gets worse.

-Thank you.
-(reporters clamoring)

That was about as unquiet
as you can make something.

Quiet is not
the right strategy.

It's gonna be a lot harder
for these guys

to hit another house

now that everyone knows
they're out there.

You got a real talent for
missing the big picture, Jerry.

Hey, man,
how'd it go this morning?

JOSEPH:
Hey. It went.

"It went"?
What does that mean?

You do what I told you to do?
You anticipate the corners?

Yeah. Yeah, I did.

And I shot the damn hostage.

Oh, man.

What are we gonna do with you?

Look, when I say
anticipate the corners,

I don't mean
"come out guns blazing."

What I mean is you gotta
have a picture in your head.

You gotta have
the worst-case scenario.

And you need to be
prepared for it.

-Does that make sense?
-Yeah. Yeah, I got it.

How'd Minnick react?

JOSEPH:
About how you'd expect.

I have a feeling
she's gonna be on me today.

Well, it sounds like
you're gonna have

plenty to vent about
tonight then.

You still wanna go shooting?

Yeah, but isn't the range
gonna be closed?

Who needs a range when we got

the back of a pickup
and a good arm?

If the badge
doesn't work for us,
who does it work for, man?

See you tonight.

("Yo Pago Lo Mio"
by Sharlene playing)

MAGGIE:
Grandma, I love these
old pictures of Mom.

Mom, you were so pretty.

"Were"?

Your mom's never
not had it going on.

(speaking Spanish)

PAULA:
It's my favorite!

Ah, gracias, mama.

Have you two found inspiration?

Oh. This quincea?era's
gonna be awesome.

-Aw.
-GRANDMA: Maggie.

You're in good hands, baby.

Tu abuela, she knows
how to throw a party.

Yeah. And if you need proof,
just look at those pictures

'cause that was a fun party.

And you, you're in
good hands, too, mi vida.

I wanna know
how my baby's holding up.

Ah.

I see what this visit's
really about.

You're checking in on me.

I'm checking in on everybody.

Tambien el sheriff.

We're fine!

Hey.

You lie to your mother, too?

-I plead the fifth.
-I'm not lying.

Wait, what are you lying about?

Mm. Those huevos,
they smell delicious.

Yeah, yeah, right.
This isn't over.

No, it isn't, mija.

JOSEPH: Man.

West Hollywood
is where it's at.

Hmm. Don't get used to it.

We're only here
because of elections.

What do you mean?

Never mind.
Tell me what you found.

Aight, whoever this was,

they avoided
the home security cameras

long enough to unplug the Wi-Fi,

knocked out the entire system.

Smart houses
can't save dumb people.

We should run down the suspects
and see who matches the M.O.

Can't be a lot of operators
willing to risk that drive.

Outsiders are taking
a huge gamble

in a community like this.

Hey, it must have been
worth it though.

Look at what they took.

Had the homeowner compile a list
of everything they stole.

Bunch of electronics,
jewelry...

They took a gun.

(Cade laughs)

Is it supposed to
sound like that?

I call it "galloping horses."

It's a good thing.

Good. See, we're doing good.

-(keyboard keys clack)
-(beeps)

You've have a healthy kid
in there.

I'll see you
in a few weeks, okay?

Okay. Thank you.

-(sighs in relief)
-Hey.

You heard her. Healthy kid.

We couldn't ask
for a better report.

No, I-I know. It's just...

Oh, God, everything
that we've been through,

I want it to stay that way.

I know.

Me too.
We got this, okay?

It's gonna be fine.

I can't wait to show the kids.

CADE (chuckles):
I'm showing everybody.

(chuckles)

He's got his momma's nose.

How do you know it's a he?

That ain't no leg, pal.

(laughs)

No, he, she, doesn't matter.

Doctor said the word, "healthy,"
that's all I care about.

-Congratulations, brother.
-Thanks.

So I heard you on the news
on the way in.

What's popping off
in West Hollywood?

Series of residential
burglaries, high-end.

But last night
they stepped it up.

The house wasn't empty.

Homeowner's a mess.

City council wants it
solved quick.

So does London.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
what's London
got to do with it?

He called in a favor.

He's gunning for your job
and you're doing him favors?

I keep my word.

How can I help?

Talk to the homeowner,
see what you can learn.

Also, they seem very familiar
with the home security systems.

Could be a lead there.

I'm not really a computer guy.
You know that.

Well, use Bishop.

This is right up her alley.

Keep me posted, all right?

All right. Will do.

See you, Dad.

(Cade laughs)

CADE: No time for
training wheels. You're up.

BISHOP:
What do you need?

Your brain on these
West Hollywood burglaries.

They're getting around
the home security.

-I need you to figure out how.
-All right.

Most of these cloud-based
systems have a back door

for law enforcement.

I'll make some calls.

All right. Hit me up
when you find something.

Copy.

You really think they're pawning
$20,000 watches here?

Well, they're not gonna put 'em
in the front window.

So they're fencing, too.

Keep up, boot.

(indistinct
police radio chatter)

What a coincidence.

Everything's half off today.

Law enforcement special.

What a coincidence.

Half your inventory is hot.

You seen any of these?

Can't say I have.

You didn't really do
a thorough check.

MINNICK: Don't make me
pull your slips, Sally.

I'd hate to see your license
hit a snag with renewal.

(sighs)

(scoffs) If these
came through here,

shop'd be closed
and I'd be in Vegas.

All right, what about
any other shops?

I'll make some calls for you

but I doubt
someone outside my network

is trying to move those
without me knowing.

Okay, well, if you
hear something,

you give me a call me.

Especially if
that gun shows up.

Will do, Deputy.

WOMAN: They just came in
like they owned the place.

What was mine was theirs.

I'm sorry you had
to go through that.

How you holdin' up?

I can't sleep.

I can't be here.

I'm gonna go visit my parents
on the East Coast

after we're done here.

I don't know if I'll come back.

They wanna take
your power away.

Don't let 'em.

(voice breaking):
I was so scared.

When you hear about
people being tied up

or hurt inside their own home

and you wonder
what they went through

in their final minutes.

Hey, you're safe now.

And you have a chance
to stop this from happening

to somebody else.

And I need your help to do that.

-Anything you need.
-CADE: Okay.

The last two houses they hit,
nobody was home,

that's usually planned,
obviously,

but did they ring your bell

or do anything
before they came in?

No.

Nothing like that.

By the time I heard 'em,

they were already
inside the house.

Are you normally at home
on a night like last night?

WOMAN: No.

Wait.

Are you saying that

they would have
been watching me?

(door opens)

Thank you, Sonya.

Sheriff Hollister.
Thanks for seeing us.

Mayor. Council Member.

This meeting's long overdue.

Well, your predecessor
made time to visit us.

Well, he's not
around anymore, is he?

Bradford and I,
we had our differences,

but I respected him.

I sure as hell
respect this job,

now that I've had
my time in the barrel.

Speaking of which,

I hear you all might be...

seeking other arrangements.

Who told you that?

Oh, come on, we all know
exactly who told him that.

Jerry London asked
for our endorsement

before Bradford
was even in the ground.

-So I take it
you didn't offer.
-MAYOR: No.

And that's why we're gonna put
our support and our money

behind the
Sheriff Hollister candidacy.

Oh, slow down now.

I haven't even
said I'm running.

Well, let your constituents
convince you.

Talk to some of
our community activists.

You're a man
of the people, right?

WOMAN (on tape):
There's someone in my house.

OPERATOR (on tape):
Stay calm, ma'am.

I see you're calling
from 2416 Wonderland,

is that correct?

WOMAN (on tape): Yes.
Please hurry.

-Hello.
-(keys clacking)

(garbled voices)

OPERATOR (on tape):
...2416 Wonderland,
is that correct?

WOMAN (on tape):
Yes. Please hurry.

(keys clacking)

(garbled voices)

(camera shutter clicks on tape)

(keys clacking)

(camera shutter clicks on tape)

MAN 1 (on tape):
Smile for the camera.

-Smile for the camera.
- (camera shutter clicks on tap)

Smile for the camera, boys.

(keys clacking)

(cell phone chiming)

-(cell phone beeps)
-What's the good word?

They're documenting their
break-ins. Taking pictures.

So I ran a keyword search
of Flocking, Licks, Come Ups,

residential burgs
and home invasion lingo.

What I found isn't good.

They've got a spam page
detailing their crimes.

Well done, Bishop.

Now send me what you found.

People are following this?

BISHOP:
I think it's more than that.

I found another account
posting pictures, too.

A group out of Bakersfield.

They're competing.

(cell phone dings)

CADE: We need to
get ahead of these guys,

knock 'em off their game.

("La Dieta" by Sharlene playing)

You know I'm not
getting married, right?

A quincea?era is
much more important, baby.

I mean, it's celebrating
you becoming your own woman.

Okay, you're getting intense.

I can't help it.

All right. Tell me...
Tell me about your court.

Who's representing you?

-Um...
-(keypad beeping)

That's Suki. And Taylor.

Tell me about the boys.

-Julian and Cameron.
-Yes...?

Grandma, it's not
like that, okay?

-We're...
-(cell phone beeps)

...uh, just friends,
like, since we were kids.

(keypad beeping)

What about the one
you're texting?

What's his name?

Wyatt.

-Tu novio?
-Stop it!

Can we talk about
something else?

CADE: Hey.

The break-in crew
in West Hollywood

is competing with
another group in Bakersfield.

And they're posting evidence
the entire way.

Can you track 'em?

No, I can't get up
on their tech.

They're using a laptop
with ISP masking.

And they're brazen,
millennial tech types,

educated, but not
hardened crooks.

Well, if they were smart,
they'd mix things up a bit.

Hit a different neighborhood.

Yeah, that might jeopardize
their canvass strategy.

You know, they found a way
to blend in.

This is bigger
than we thought, too.

It's two groups
competing at once,

but I've got at least 11 teams

from California, Nevada,
and Arizona

actively looting
over the last year.

Well, if they've got resources,
that would explain

why they haven't pawned
any of the items they stole.

They don't need to.

No, their reward
is bragging rights.

Who gets more
"likes" and "follows."

That's the competition
that's driving them.

Problem with competition

is things start to
get out of hand.

Egos get in the way,
crimes escalate.

It's only a matter of time
before someone uses that gun.

We need an ID now, Bishop.

On it, sir.

West Hollywood has
always prided itself

on being welcoming
to everyone,

let's extend that
to Sheriff Hollister.

Thank you.

I'm not one for stump speeches.

So, I'd just like to say
that my department is proud

to serve West Hollywood.

Now, it's been brought to
my attention that past sheriffs,

who shall remain nameless,

have avoided public scrutiny.

So if any of you have
any questions,

now's your chance.

Sheriff.

Zoe Janeczko here.

Neighborhood watch commander.

What can we do to stop
the home invaders

that are terrorizing
the community?

Why have they not been caught?

Our tax dollars pay your salary,

which is not small.

I looked it up.

Well, Zoe, first of all,
thank you for your service.

At this very moment,

we are out in force
setting up check points.

And trust that more than
your fair share of resources

will be put toward
solving these crimes.

But we need to think beyond
the scope of our daily lives.

It's just as important
that the Sheriff's Department

establish relationships
in communities

that don't have
money and influence.

Likewise, folks of
higher financial status

need to understand

that not everyone in a uniform
works for them personally.

Trust is earned.

And I will always
work for yours.

I hope you feel the same way.

Any other questions?

Thank you, Sheriff Hollister.
We are lucky to have you.

-Well, that was easy.
-(laughter)

Thanks, everyone.
Appreciate it.

MAYOR: Bill.

You handled that well.

-Thanks, Mayor.
-Hollister.

You and I both know
you're the man for the job.

Listen, if you decide
to jump in,

you have our support.
I hope you do.

Thank you, Mayor.

Thank you.

Pool guy comes twice a week,

-but never goes inside.
-(cell phone buzzing)

You need to get that?

No. Uh, it's okay.

A little trouble
on the home front?

(sighs)
You could say that.

Word of advice,
get ahead of it.

It's harder to stop something

that's been going downhill
for too long, trust me.

Believe me,
I've been trying to.

She won't let me.

Genevieve, right?

Didn't you move from DC
for this girl?

Yeah.

She's probably worth
more than, "trying to."

(monitor beeps)

-We got 'em.
-(keyboard keys clacking)

See, the part
I still don't understand

is how they manage to avoid
the interior cameras long enough

to unplug the Wi-Fi.

That'd be really difficult
to case from the street.

It's 'cause they weren't
on the street.

They've been
in these houses before.

? ?

MAN:
You got the router, right?

WOMAN: What are you...
You!

Shane, what are
you doing here?

MASKED MAN:
Let's go, let's go, let's go.

WOMAN:
I'm calling your parents.

SHANE: Put your phone down.
Put your phone down!

MASKED MAN:
What did you just do?

What do you expect me to do?
She saw my face!

MASKED MAN: Yeah, but we're not
supposed to hurt anybody.

Come on, come on,
let's go, let's go!

What are you waiting for?
Let's go!

Looks like
they got interrupted.

Shell casings match
the stolen gun.

CADE:
There's no turning back now.

These guys are driven by ego

and once they become shooters,

all bets are off.

It's about
self-preservation.

Wi-Fi is still up.

We should have him
on the camera.

(buzzes)

Hey. How can I help?

Hey, what do you need
from me to ID a system

so we can get through
on that backdoor?

Take a picture of the back
of the router and send it to me.

Copy.

How'd they get through
the checkpoint?

I thought the only people
allowed in were locals.

It's probably 'cause they live
in the neighborhood.

(camera shutter clicks)

(keyboard keys clacking)

(tape rewinding)

(keys clacking)

Hey, I got a face.

It looks like
the shooter is a teenager.

Perfect.
Cocky and impulsive kid.

This could get a lot worse
before it gets better.

You need to ID that kid
and his partner now.

BILL: Your burglars
are wealthy teenagers

who just shot
one of their own neighbors.

We know Shane Kelley
was the shooter.

And based on social media
comparisons,

we're pretty sure that's
his partner, Brendan Mitchell.

I know Brendan.

His father is a partner
at one of the biggest law firms
in the county.

This is a good family, Bill.

Maybe someone
put them up to it.

"Put them up to it"?

They didn't steal
a six-pack, Jerry.

We're talking about
a home invasion.

Attempted murder.

I'm not saying Shane
shouldn't be arrested,

I'm just saying maybe there's
a deal to be cut with Brendan.

He's got his whole life
ahead of him.

Give his parents a chance
to correct his behavior.

If these weren't the kids
of prospective donors,

would you be
going easy on 'em?

We are the people
who draw the line, Jerry.

If we don't enforce
the laws for everyone,

what's the damn point?

(sirens wailing)

(indistinct chatter)

Why did you have to
shoot her, man?

Your dad will get us off.

-It was an accident!
-Are you high?

You pulled out the gun,
you aimed it at her,

and you pulled the trigger.

-They can't touch us.
-Really?

Because they're
outside this house.
It is over!

I'm not giving up
and neither are you!

We're becoming legends!

Winner takes all.

Clear the house.
Watch your six.

(cell phone ringing)

(grunts)

We've got a runner.
He's heading north.

This is David 4 Frank 5.
I'm heading north.

(tires screech)

(Cade grunts)

(grunting)

? ?

Nine-nine-eight.
Suspect down.

He's alive.

Why didn't you wake me?

It thought you needed
the rest, honey.

Yeah, I haven't been
sleeping right lately.

I even found Bill on the sofa
a couple of nights

because of my tossing
and turning.

Tell me, what are your, uh,
nightmares about?

Mommy.

I didn't say I was
having nightmares.

I said that I wasn't
sleeping right.

Okay, listen to me.

You're allowed
to be affected, mi vida.

No one's gonna hold it
against you.

M?rame.

Everything is fine.

You know what?

Do you know what I was
before being a mother?

A woman.

Okay? And I can see it
in your eyes, baby,

that not everything is okay.

You can lie to your patients,
lie your friends.

Hell, you can even
lie to Bill, but...

I birthed you, okay?

And I'm waiting for you

to be honest with me.

What do you want me to say?

That I can't sleep at night

because I'm worried
about my husband?

Or that I'm trying to be
strong for my daughter,

when right now I don't even know
if I could be strong for myself.

Yes.

Because you're being
honest, baby, okay?

And it makes you realize
you're a human being,

and it's okay to be afraid.

Just know that I'm here for you.

Mami, I know.

You've always
been there for me, always.

And I love you for it.
Come here.

Aw.
Ay, my girls.

Yeah, come on, quincea?era.

Listen, I know I haven't
been around the last few months

but, oh, my God so much
has changed around here.

I mean, look at Mags.

I know. My little baby's
not a baby anymore.

I know.

I'm surprised
that the sheriff is okay

with her having a boyfriend.

Excuse me?

What?

(gasps)

Maggie!

She's at the mall.

She's with her boyfriend. Wyatt.

Wyatt. Oh.

Well, Bill's gonna
kill Wyatt.

-REPORTERS: Sheriff. Sheriff.
-(camera shutters clicking)

Today, LA Sheriff's Deputies
arrested two suspects

tied to the recent string
of home invasions

in the hills of West Hollywood.

One suspect was shot.

He was taken to
UCLA Medical Center,

where he'll undergo surgery.

Some people rob
out of desperation.

Some to feed their habit.

These kids in particular
had money and status.

Yet still,
a hole grew inside of them.

When people who have the most,
care the least...

well, that's a bigger problem.

One that we can't solve.

So it's everybody's
responsibility

to teach our children
what all this means.

And that we're in it together.

Thank you.

REPORTERS:
Thank you, Sheriff.

BILL: I did my part
and I'm walking away.

What happens next
to this kid is up to you.

Let's take him down to booking.

BISHOP:
Hey, Gen.

Hey.

You avoid my calls all day
then you just show up?

Thought we could celebrate.

I had a really good first day.

It can't always be on your time
and on your terms.

Okay, well, I would
like it to be on our terms.

But things have been
a little bit chaotic lately.

This is exactly why
I didn't tell you sooner.

I was afraid of things
turning out like this.

I'm a lesbian.

A woman who likes women.

And if you're not a woman,
what does that mean for me?

For us?

Well, I can't tell you
what that means for you,

but for us, I know that I
have to bring my whole self

to this relationship.

Where are you going?

Calling a ride.
I'm going home.

Quite a stunt
you pulled, Sheriff.

I wanna be up-front with you.

About what, now?

I talked to your friends

over at the West Hollywood
City Council.

And?

They never
had any intention

of shopping out
our contract.

They just told you that
to keep you in check.

There is one candidate they seem
very excited about, though.

(scoffs)

So, you're running now?

Nothing's ever completely
off the table, Jerry.

Good night.

Pull!

(hip hop music playing)

-Damn, man.
-(laughing)

Drink, bitch.

I think it's safe to say
that after today,

there's no way
Minnick can tank your evals.

Ugh.
Oh, God.

Yeah, but I still wouldn't
put it past her.

Dude, you saved her life.

She would've done
the same for me.

Okay.

So what's up with you
and that girl?

-You guys good?
-It didn't really work out.

Yeah.

She wanted me to lock it down.

But, you know,
I can't be tamed.

Man, you are so cold for that.

Oh, come on, man.

You really imagine me
w-with a wife

and a couple of rug rats
running around?

What about you?

Nah. Nah, I'm good.

Oh, please.

What, man?
I'm serious, man.

I-I don't have time
for a relationship.

Is that right?

You mean to tell me
there's not even anyone

on your radar right now?

There's no one
in the picture, but...

I may have somebody in mind.

LONDON:
Where did you find this?

I'd rather not reveal
my sources.

But I can assure you
every piece of information

has been confirmed.

I truly appreciate
your efforts.

MINNICK: If I may...

It's my understanding
Sheriff Hollister

has no plans of running
for reelection.

I don't see how anything
in that file can be of use.

I consider this
my insurance policy.

Thank you, Deputy Minnick.

Cade.

What happened?
What's wrong?

Roberto and Camilla's
social worker called.

Their grandmother
contacted DCFS.

Grandmother?

Yeah, she wants to see them.

I contacted a friend
in family law, I just...

We gotta...
We gotta protect the kids.

We just got them settled.

Hey, it's okay, it's okay.
It's okay, all right?

We're gonna figure it out.
Don't worry.

that you were non-binary?

I didn't have a term for it

but I knew that something
about me was different.

But that doesn't change
how I feel about you.

I know we can get through this.

But you don't.

I don't know if I can...

(sighs)

-Pull over.
-DRIVER: Are you sure?

-We're on the freeway.
-I will not do this anymore.

Pull over!

Just so that we're clear...

I wanted your acceptance,

but I did not need
your acceptance.

? You promised the world
and I fell for it ?

? I put you first
and you adored it ?

? Set fires to my forest ?

? And you let it burn ?

? Sang off-key in my chorus ?

? 'Cause it wasn't yours ?

? Yeah ?

? We'd always go
into it blindly ?

? I needed to lose you
to find me ?

? This dance,
it was killing me softly ?

(screams)

? I needed to hate you
to love me, yeah ?

? To love, love, yeah ?

? To love, love, yeah ?

? To love, yeah ?

? I needed to lose you
to love me, yeah ?

BILL: Hey, Mags.

Hey, Dad.
Mom said you wanted me?

BILL: Yeah.

(sighs)

I need a favor.

This gelding
needs a light touch.

And that ain't me.

You wanna hop on up?

Apply some pressure
to his side, will ya?

Okay. I've trained
horses before.

I know, I just thought you could
help out your old man.

You know,
when you're training a horse,

what we're really doing
is forming a partnership.

Aren't we?

You're building a trust.

But in order to do that...

You have to have patience.

And if you're not
patient enough...

-You get thrown.
-(cell phone buzzing)

BILL: Exactly.

(buzzing continues)

Yeah.

(Maggie sighs)

And where are you?

? ?

(Bishop panting)

What the hell
are you doing, Bishop?

It's over, Sheriff.

The veil has been lifted!

Excuse me, but you're gonna
have to help me out here.

Doc took a look.

Wrote a little F
on my birth certificate,

and ever since that moment

the whole world has
viewed me as a woman.

Well, aren't you?

No. Sheriff, I'm not.

I'm not a woman,
but I'm not a man, either.

Something other than
those two.

My gender is non-binary.

And Genevieve
couldn't accept that.

I... I wasn't
who she thought I was.

Why don't you tell me
who you are, then?

I'm not she or her,

or even him,

I'm they and them.

Those are my pronouns.

Well, you know...

that you never
have to be anything

but yourself with me, right?

(Bishop sniffles)

Thank you.

And I'm gonna be honest,

I'm still learning
exactly who I am,

but for now...

I've gotta stop being
who I'm not.

Well, I might
mess up sometimes.

I'll remind you.

Why don't we get off
the freeway, huh?

So what am I
supposed to call you now?

Bishop. Just Bishop.

Just Bishop.

Okay.

(sighs)

So what now?

The world's your oyster.

No masks.

Just Bishop.

Hey.

You live your truth.

End of the day,

it's all we got.

Let me get you home.

(engine starts)
