The Big Sky (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Gettin' Right to It - full transcript

You asked me to dinner
for a reason.

Tell me what you want.

I need your advice on how to
get through to Cassie.

Rick Legarski's twin
is a dog trainer?

Wolf is
some kind of guru.

Ronald has shown
no improvement.

Then change
what you're doing.

Ronald, Ronald, Ronald.

I am here to
help you.

Can you help me
dump the drugs?

I have a better idea --
we sell them.



Last week, Max said she saw
this creepy dude in a van.

Keep walking.
I saw you!

Ugh!

Come on! Let's go!

Hi, Tonya.

Please don't hurt me!

I didn't take
your money. Please.

Sam did, and now
you're responsible.

Remember that kid that came in
the other day,

wanting to
report a crime?

He didn't happen to

sign in or anything,
did he?
Bridger Ryan.

Help me!

I-I've been kidnapped
and abducted!



Please hurry!
Please! No!

I figured Tonya was being held
in the area.

I saw a construction trailer
on the way.

We got a problem.

**

**

**

You can do this.

**

**

**

**

**

**

You see that?

Somebody's in there.

**

Let's have a look.

**

Don't shoot, please!

Sorry, we thought you might be
somebody else.

You -- You scared me
half to death.

Wait.

Huckleberry pie.
The diner, right?

Right. Yeah, that pie

was my favorite part
of the day.

So, what's with the guns?

Well, I-I'm Cassie Dewell.
This is my associate,

Jerrie Kennedy.

There was an incident
at a diner down the road.

The owner was murdered.
We believe the suspect's

still at large
with a missing woman.

Oh, no.
So you two are cops?

Private investigators.

We've been searching
the area.

There aren't
many roads.

We saw the lights
and then your car.

I totally understand.

So, what are you doing
out here?

Well, uh, digging mostly --
digging over there, mostly.

Um, yeah,
it's gonna be a pool.

Yeah. It's --
Permits are a mess.

Company flew me in
to make sense of it.

Probably lost track
of time tonight.

So...

Do you mind if we just take
a look around quick?

Sure. Not much to see
but dirt so far.

**

**

**

Anything?

Nope.
Nothing, like you said.

That's a relief.

**

Is something wrong?

Mind if we take a look
in the trailer?

Well, it's a mess.
Like I said, all-nighter.

Yeah, we just want to
be sure.
Well, I'd probably know

if there was a murderer
in there.

I am thorough like that.

But go ahead.
Be my guest.

Go ahead.

**

**

Told you it was a mess.

Can I help you guys with
anything else?

Nope.
We're good.

Just wanted to make sure.

Thanks.

Maybe you shouldn't be
out here alone.

Yeah, I was thinking
the same thing.

Thank you.

Good night.

They gone?
For now.

She's not dead.
She looks dead.

She bit me.
You sure?

I applied non-lethal force.
I think.

You think
or you know?

**

You can pull on that
all morning,

but it's not gonna
come off.

What the hell is this?

It's an aversive.
Uh...

a special choke collar.

Step out of line,
it'll tighten.

And I put it on
while you were asleep.

Take it off.

Only you can take it off.

Uh, not physically,
of course,

but based on
the pyramid of trust you build.

You call this trust?

I would be careful with that
if I were you.

It's a sensitive contraption.

Even I have limits
to my patience.

Stop threatening me.

Threats give intention.

This here --

This is a promise.

**

This is the last gasp,
Ronald...

...for both of us.

Please.
Take it off.

I need you to succeed.

Come on.

Let's take a walk.

**

I went to great lengths
to save you, Ronald.

The people you and my brother
work for,

they weren't content to have you
just live out in the woods,

believing
you'd evaded them.

I didn't plan on
letting them find me.

They knew where you were.

But then I stepped in.

I made a deal
for your life.

There is nothing,
bought or sold, more valuable

than a man's good name.

The Legarski name
was tarnished.

And just as my brother used you
as a tool to defile it,

so too I will use you

as a tool to restore it.

Well, my mother
was a Catholic.

She taught me about
the concept of repentance.

So, I can say
some Hail Marys and a Rosary,

and we can be done
with these foolish games?

I'm after something deeper

than a few rote prayers
muttered on your knees.

Rebirth.

A new you.

I'm fine the way I am.

Thank you.

No, you're not.

You just don't know it yet.

**

We've given life to many
creatures on this ranch

over the years,

and many lives
have been taken from us.

Painlessly.

Naturally, mostly.

You sound so crestfallen.

We're not here
for games and giggles.

I am trying to help you.

**

Interesting you mentioned
your mother.

My mother --

she was a doozy.

She did love Rick, though.

He could do no wrong
in her eyes.

Yours -- was she loving?

She believed
I had potential.

Go on.

But I fell short.

I didn't achieve
that potential.

I know the feeling.

She would give me this look,
and I could see it --

the disappointment.

Do you know why you didn't
live up to your potential?

My urges, I guess.

**

Let me guess --
no security cameras?

Don't get much crime
out here.

Guy probably knew
all his customers by name.

Don't know what
this county's coming to.

Used to be hats off inside,
open doors for a lady,

please and thank you.

Now it's just all gone
in the crapper.

How about we save
that discussion for later?

I'm sensing a trend here.

Which makes sense,
'cause my mom called it

the yickety-yacks, but --
I-If you mean
minimal chatter

and focus on the job,
that would be correct, Deputy.

Noted, ma'am.

No "ma'am" either.

I don't know
what to call you.

How about Hoyt?
It's against
my upbringing

to call a lady
by her last name,

but for you, I will make
an exception,

Hoyt.
Thank you.

Hey.

Any luck?

Construction site
about a mile up the road.

We met the site manager
last night.

Did you get a name?
No, but I met her in town.

She says she's new.

What are you thinking?

I don't like
the coincidence.

Yeah, me either.

We searched the site.
Nothing turned up.

Okay, well,
if Tonya was on foot,

the dogs will pick something up
on the grid search.

Figure out
where she came from.

We'll start there.

Can we talk?

Privately?

What's up?

I think you need to
talk to Travis.

If he's got any information on
who the cartel sent,

maybe you could
get it out of him?

I'm just trying to keep proper
professional boundaries.

Oh. How -- How is that
working out for you?

Ugh. Fine.

Fine, but if he shuts me down,
he shuts me down.

Yeah.

Jeez.

**

What's up?

What's going on?

Tonya's still missing.

Yeah?

And I-I told you --
if someone from the cartel

got her, she's not missing,
Jen, she's dead.

This faction is
from Vancouver, okay?

And the Bhullars that took over
the entire operation,

they even kicked the Mexicans
out of management.

They're thorough,
and they are ruthless.

Look, we know that Tonya escaped
from whoever took her,

at least for a little bit,
right?

There's a chance that
she could still be alive.

Can you help me?
Hmm?

**

I might know somebody
I can ask.

Okay? He's a, um --

He's a local named Dietrich.
Runs everything, actually.

I've heard of him.
I'll see what I can do,

but, Jenny,
if this goes sideways,

I'm telling you right now,
I'm bailing.

That's all I'm asking.

That is not
all you're asking.

It's not --
That's not all I'm asking.

**

Isn't that Stone's truck?

Oh, yeah.
I think so.

This where he stay at?

Yeah.

You check him out
like I asked?

Yeah, my friend in Texas
said he's solid.

Yeah.

**

**

**

**

**

**

**

**

Come here.

You sure it was the same
guy who tried to jump us?

Same van.
It was him.

Okay, we, like, need to be
super careful.

Oh, here,
I got you a present.

Oh.
Okay, check it out --

when he comes at you,
you just stab

and then swipe.
Oh, God.

Yeah.
Badass, huh?

Yeah.
Um, let's hope

it doesn't come to that.
Yeah.

Well, if we're lucky, he's just
a rando creeper serial killer

and not somebody looking for
the drugs or the money.

Are we gonna tell
Madison and Bridger?

Yeah.

Yeah, we will.
Let's just get this done first.

Hey!

Yo.

So, is this, like,
your little sidekick now, Harp?

Looks like you just
ate a Smurf.

Yeah? And?

Okay, can we just
get this over with?

Sure. Yeah.
Show me what you got.

Whoa.

**

Where did you get this?

Remember what I said
about questions?

Not really.

Hey, dude,
you wanna do this or not?

Yeah. Uh,
why don't I just take this,

and I'll get back to you
with some numbers or --

or deal points.
Cool?

Um, okay.

**

Hey. So, like,
we doing this or not?

Um. Hmm. No.

No.
No, we have to go.

Bridger?

Hello?
No, I'm just kidding.

I'm not here, but you can leave
a voicemail after the beep.

**

Cassie's not here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm just stopping by.

To see Cassie.
Right.

Am I that obvious?

Remember, be patient.
Let her come to you.

Yeah. I'm starting to think
that's never gonna happen.

Okay, well, plus,
we are kinda busy.

I heard.

You making progress on
the, uh...

...Tonya case, is it?

Not that I can share.

Okay.

I'm...sorry.

I did find something
on Ronald.
Okay.

Got three solid messages on
that tip line we set up.

I followed up,
and let's just say...

crazy.

Ah. Yeah.

Tip lines are the "Dr. Phil" of
the lonely and crazy.

But this one
seems plausible.

Land surveyor said he saw a man
matching Ronald's description

outside a remote cabin.
Go on.

Also said he was standing
with a woman

who sounds a lot
like Scarlet -- blonde.

Okay. Yeah.
Interesting.

And it's pretty close by.

Hmm.
Is this any different

than the apartment complex
you checked out last week?

Or the caller who said,
"Ronald is staying in

that trailer park
east of downtown?"

Denise thinks
I'm wasting my time.

I did not say that.

But I think we all need to
make peace

with the fact that
this guy is gone.

How about we take a ride
up to this cabin?

Okay. Let's go.
What --

Wait, really?
Really.

Bye.

Hey.

Got your text.
Travis give you anything?

Nothing solid.

He was gonna ask a contact of
his, a guy named Dietrich.

Local,
runs things around here.

You trust Travis is telling
you the truth about this,

not trying to
protect his case?

I do.
He's a good guy.

I bet he is.
I'm just... You know.

He makes me happy.

Kinda takes a load off things,
you know?

Okay. Good for you.
Mm-hmm.

You deserve it.

Hell, we both do after what
we've been through.

Life is short, right?
Mm.

**

What about you?

What about me?

Lindor.

Oh.
You ever gonna give him
a chance?

Maybe.

Uh...

I've got Kai
to consider.

I'm just gonna
take things slow.
Screw slow.

Yeah.

Okay, cool.

The K9 unit
found something.
