The Big Sky (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Heart-shaped Charm - full transcript

Max: Here.
Make a wish and throw it.

Harvey: What's that?
Jenny: I found it near the scene.

Looks like something
a kid would do.

Drop the bag,
or you die!

[ Both grunt ]

Who the hell are you?!

[ Gunshot ]

Run!

If this murder's connected to
the cartel,

this is much bigger
than we thought.

I think this has something to do
with Dietrich.



Jerrie:
Land surveyor said he saw a man

matching Ronald's description
outside a remote cabin.

He was standing
with a woman

who sounds a lot
like Scarlet.

And how was
your conjugal visit

with Ronald?

H-He's still
set on escaping.

Is that...?

Jenny: Dietrich.

[ Grunts ] Oh! Ahh!

They were spying on you.

Get off of her!
Not a good idea, doll.

So why were you
following me?

Because they're cops.



**

Dietrich: Hoo, boy.
This is interesting.

Just drop the gun
and we'll go.

Why were you
following me?

We were just having
a little girls' night.

Let's just all walk away,
blame it on the alcohol.

Yeah?

How about you
lower your gun?

Come on.
Nobody's gonna get hurt.

**

See? Wasn't so hard.

Now you ladies go
and have a nice night.

Go!
You heard him.

[ Magazine clicks ]

[ Gun thumps ]

Thanks
for letting me borrow it.

**

What the hell was that?

They were following us!

Security cameras, dumbass.

You want to execute
a cop,

this ain't the place
to do it.

**

**

**

Hey, Dad.

How was last night?

Don't ask. Trust me.

Okay. Doesn't sound like
too much tequila.

Something happen?
What's this?

Oh, your babysitter's,
I think.

Found it in between
the couch cushions.

I know that look.

I gotta go, Dad.

Hey.
I'll be seeing you later, right?

Told you I want
to show you something.

Yeah, for sure.

**

[ Knock on car door ]

Hey.

You saved us, and I just --
I wanted to say thanks.

You shouldn't have been there
in the first place.

Why are you helping us?

That's my business.

**

Thank you.

They're not gonna stop
looking for you.

I know.

**

**

[ Knock on door ]

Hey, Max.

Cassie, hi.

Um, what's up?

Yeah, sorry just to show up
unannounced,

but you left something
at my house.

Oh, my gosh.

I have been looking for these
everywhere.

You're a life-saver.

Where'd you get this charm?
It's really cool.

It's just this thing
someone started at school.

Yeah,
a lot of us have them.

It just...means
that I'm single.

[ Chuckles ]

Okay.
Yeah.

Dumb, I know.

Here you go.

T-Lock:
Do we have a guest?

Um, Cassie, this is
my Mom's boyfriend, Tracy.

Tracy, this is the woman
I babysit for, Cassie Dewell.

It's T-Lock.
[ Chuckles ]

You want to come in,
Cassie?

I was just about
to make a smoothie.

I actually gotta run.

I'm meeting up with
some friends.

Thank you so much for bringing
me my keys back, Cassie.

Really appreciate it.

Of course.

**

Are you sure you don't want
to come inside for a smoothie?

I'll rain check.
Alright.

Well,
you have a nice day.

You, too.

**

What do you mean
you can't find it?

I don't know. I always keep it
in this little dish by my bed,

but it's not there.

It could just be
in your room somewhere.

Yeah, totally.

I mean, I haven't looked
hard for it yet.

I've had a lot on my mind.

Did you drop it at
Harvey's house?

Maybe.

Because the way Cassie was
looking at it, I mean --

she knows.

She knows something
about it.

Max, you said Cassie was cool,
right?

Maybe she could help us.

[ Scoffs ]
We're too late for that.

We're alone in this.

Then we will figure it out.

**

Together.

**

Hmm.

[ Sighs ]

Like looking at a ghost.

It's creepy.

Mm.

I wonder if he knew
about Rick.

You and Jerrie,
thinking alike.

She got his address
before she left.

Oh, I just spoke with
her this morning. She
didn't mention this.

Yeah, well, she probably
has other things on her mind.

You know, I'm gonna send her
a care package.

[ Telephone rings ]

I swear,
if this is another call

about my car warranty expiring,
I'm gonna lose my --

Dewell and Hoyt,
this is Denise.

The boiler's
acting up again.

Great.
Hey.

You're here.

Yeah, uh, taking over
Jerrie's desk.

Kidding.

I could use you.

I'm gonna get something
from my office

and we can get lunch.

Sure, I'd like to grab lunch
and...be used.

**

[ Car door closes ]

[ Sighs ] You okay?

Other than a raging hangover,
I'm fine.

So last night
was interesting.

What was I supposed
to do?

You did plenty.

Had your gun pointed
at Cassie's head.

Mm.
Told Dietrich I was a cop.

Mm-hmm. It could have gone
a lot worse, too,

if Dietrich found out
about me.

**

I just don't want to see
anything happen to you.

[ Chuckles ]

We need to cool down.

That's not
what I'm saying.

I'm not gonna have another cross
happen like last night.

That would be bad news
for both of us.

**

[ Car door closes ]

**

Son of a bitch.

T-Lock: Sounds like someone's
been keeping secrets, Maxie.

**

Sweetie.

We need to talk.

You told him.

How could you?

**

You promised.

T-Lock is gonna give it
to the police.

I'll call in
from a pay phone.

Totally anonymous.

A pay phone?
[ Sighs ]

It's not 1987, Tracy,
okay?

[ Laughs ] This does not
sound like a good plan.

Max, stop, please.

Please, just tell him
what you found.

It's okay.
If you'd feel more comfortable

talking to the cops,
go ahead.

**

Okay.

Okay, fine.
I found a bag of drugs.

Was there anything else,
like money, maybe?

Yeah, a little,

but I spent it all
on her tooth thing.

Okay.

Where are they now?

The drugs.

My friend's house.

Ah. You need to bring
them here, now.

The longer you have those drugs,
the more danger you're in.

Don't worry.

I'll take care
of everything.

Everything is gonna be fine,
baby, I promise.

**

[ Scoffs ]

**

Calling my brother impulsive
would be an understatement.

We used to have
these Lego fortresses

that we would build
when we were kids,

but Jag would always
tear the entire thing down

if one piece didn't
look or fit right.

Just days of work destroyed
because it wasn't perfect.

Me,
on the other hand,

I could see the problem
and fix it

without having
to smash everything.

But did he listen to me,
ever?

No.

[ Music playing on radio ]

What is this?
What did you do?

Scrambled eggs?
What's in them?

Dollop of mustard.

See, this is what
I'm talking about.

You men just trying to
change and destroy things.

You and your little
mustard eggs.

Jag with his
scorched-earth nonsense.

It's childish.
It's good, though,
right?

That's not the point.
Admit that it's good.

Yes, okay, it's good.

So what are we gonna do
about Dietrich?

Well, my beautiful,
bearded friend,

I have an idea that I think
you might enjoy.

**

[ Indistinct conversations ]

So...

Here we are.

Yeah, here we are.

Finally, right?

Right.

So what did you want to
pick my brain about?

Oh, yeah.
My babysitter.

Oh, okay.

Didn't see that coming.
Go on.

This key chain was found
near Harvey's body.

Max, my babysitter,
has the same one.

Mm. Sounds a bit like
a coincidence, huh?

Yeah, on its own,
totally.

But I know Max,
and she's lying about something.

It's just one
of those feelings I get.

Well, did you tell Jenny?

Now's not the right time.
Why?

Afraid she'll kick down
your babysitter's door,

guns a-blazing?
That's exactly what
I'm afraid of.

[ Chuckles ]

This Jenny 2.0
is a little different.

Look, so you know,

Lindor 2.0 is not gonna stop
looking for Ronald.

I have an address
for Legarski's brother.

I'm gonna pay him
a visit.

Okay. You do you.

Just leave me out of it.

What about Cassie 2.0?

Nope. No Cassie 2.0.

Just same old me.

[ Chuckles ]
Impossible.

Come on, tell me something
I don't know.

It's your turn to confess.

Oh, okay.

Confess?

Oddly deep...for lunch.

Yes, it is.

**

Every time you asked me out,
I should have said yes.

[ Chuckles ]

And yet, you didn't.

Until now.

If you're cool with that.

[ Clears throat ]

This is just how I roll.

Totally.

Totally.
[ Laughs ]

This is literally
the worst plan ever.

He -- He said
it'll all be anonymous.

Max,
you can't stand T-Lock.

What makes you think
you can trust him?

I don't trust him,
okay?

But if I don't do
what he wants,

he was gonna make me
go to the cops.

And so the solution to that
is giving him

two bags full of drugs
and money?

I mean, that doesn't really
sound right to me.

Well,
I didn't mention the money,

only the drugs
and the accident.

What about us?

He didn't ask
and I didn't say.

[ Sighs ]
You didn't have to do that.

We're all in this
together.

Yeah. All of us.

We got your back.

God. I just -- [Sniffles]
I just want this all to be over.

Okay.

So, give T-Lock the drugs.

And we still have
the money.

**

**

[ Whistling ]

**

[ Cellphone chimes ]

**

**

[ Lock clicks ]

Howdy.

Cassie: Hey, Max.

Uh, hi, Ms. D.

Can I talk to you
for a second?

Uh, yeah, sure.

I was wondering
if you heard about

the police officer
who died in the woods.

Yeah.

Yeah.
It was, uh, on the news.

Why?
They found a key chain
at the scene

just like the one
you have.

Weird.

Yeah, it is.

Well, I still have mine,
so...

Max, if you were out there,
if you know anything,

you can tell me.

You actually think I had
something to do with this?

I didn't,

so have a nice day.

Max --

**

**

Is it tricky,
being someone's lapdog?

I mean,
it's more than just a job.

It's a relationship
that's twisted.

You've got to stay loyal
to him,

but you're living
in utter fear?

Ugh.
That's a lot to unpack.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

How about you and Dietrich?
What's your deal?

Why don't you ask him?

'Cause that would go well.

He's one of those men
who hates women.

Hates it even more
when they ask questions.

You got a point?

I just want to know
if you would die for Dietrich.

Like, are you one of those
macho, yay team,

die-with-your-boots-on types?

[ Chuckles ]

I still don't know
what you're asking me.

Really?
Mm.

'Cause you -- you didn't
strike me as a dumb cowboy.

Is there anyone that
you would die for?

Oh.

Oh, there it is. Yeah.

There's someone.
It's not your boss, though.

That's interesting.

What do you want from me?

Just want to know what Dietrich
did with our drugs and money.

We don't have it.

I told you
he'd say that.

Oh, God. Such a shame.

You are so cute.

I really thought
you were smart, too.

How tall are you?

[ Knock on door ]

**

Travis?

Ice cream?
Something stronger?

Maybe both?

Yeah.

Cassie: So?

So he said we should
"cool things down."

There's a part of me that knows
he's probably right, but --

But you like him,

and you still haven't told him
that you like him.

I don't know
what's wrong with me.

You've been hurt before.

You've lost people
that you've loved.

I'm no
relationship expert,

but it makes sense why you'd
want to protect your heart.

I think you just need to figure
out if he's worth the risk.

Just talk to him.

What about Lindor?

Is he worth the risk?

How did you know?

Both: Denise.

It's always Denise.

Uh-huh.

Mm. Yeah, we had a moment,
and...

I could feel him
holding back,

but I didn't --
I didn't pry.

See, that's
where we differ.

I can't stop prying.

[ Chuckles ]
Oh, really?

By the way, did you find
anything more on Harvey?

Tubb's locked me out.

I was just wondering about
that key chain we found

at the crime scene.

Well,
we ran some prints.

It didn't match
anybody in the system.

Why?

My babysitter, Max,
has one exactly like it.

That's weird.
Yeah.

Even so, even if Harvey
was the one shooting at us,

I don't think
it was your babysitter.

Yeah,
and I asked her about it,

and she denied
knowing anything.

[ Sighs ]

Try it.
[ Chuckles ]

You're just
not a good influence.

That's what this is.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Door closes ]

Big bag.

Yeah.

Probably worth
a lot of money, right?

T-Lock is risking himself
for our safety.

Yeah.

Listen to your mother.

You'll thank me later.

It's all gonna be
much better.

**

**

[ Sighs ]

**

**

Hey.

Where did you go
last night?

What do you mean?

You thought I was asleep,
but you got up

and left the room.
[ Chuckles ]

Where does anybody go
late at night?

But where did you go?

[ Trowel thunks ]

Don't interrogate me.

I'm not interrogating you.

I'm asking you
a simple question.

I was in the bathroom.

It was a long time.

[ Vehicle approaching ]

**

**

[ Gun cocks ]

**

I went out to look
at Venus.

Was that before or after
you went to the bathroom?

After.

Do I need your permission
to look at distant planets now?

No, I just didn't know
that you were an astronomer.

There's a lot of things
you don't know, Ronald.

**

I thought you
told me everything.

I don't tell you everything
because --

Agatha: Ronald? Scarlet?

I need the two of you
to come with me.

But I'm not done with --

It's okay.
We'll do it later.

**

Hello, friend.

Welcome to Holy Wolf Ranch.

How can I be of service?

Scarlet:
What are you doing?

Agatha: I'll explain later.
Just be quiet, Scarlet.

[ Grunts ]

What?
In there.

There's someone here,
isn't there?

Don't make a sound.

Help!
[ Electricity buzzes ]

Agatha!

[ Gasping ]
Oh, my God!

I can't be the only fan
of your book

to just show up like this.

No, but most of them
have a troubled dog in tow,

and from what I can tell --
and I can tell a lot --

Jim the Dog
isn't troubled at all.

Cats.

I'm sorry?

My girlfriend has them.

We just moved in
together,

and Jim the Dog's been
showing me his frustration

by devouring
half my socks.

[ Jim whines ]

And you came up here
to get some advice

on how to deal
with that?

Yeah,
if you don't mind.

What did you say
you did for a living?

Oh, I own
a roofing business.

[ Laughs ]

[ Jim barking ]

I'm sorry, but that's the last
warning he's gonna get.

[ Device beeps ]

[ Ronald gasping ]

[ Jim barking ]

Mark the roofer,
is that it?

T--That's right.

Why don't you tell me
why you're really here, Mark?

I thought I just did.

Jim the Dog, quiet.

There's no reason for alarm.

Sit.

Dogs aren't the only animals
I can read.

Your name might be Mark,

but you're not a roofer,

and you certainly don't have
a girlfriend.

This is about my brother,
isn't it?

Hey.

How was the drop-off?

My mom's an idiot
for trusting T-Lock.

Yeah, I get it.

But worst case,
he gets caught with the drugs.

Max...

what else is going on?

Nothing.

[ Sniffles ]

Come on. You're gonna be late
for your shift.

Hey.

You're not in this alone.

**

**

What was that for?

I just wanted to feel good
for a moment.

You're the only thing...

that makes me
feel like...

like the sky
isn't falling.

**

**

We're done with it now.

It's over.

**

[ Clears throat ]

Travis?

Travis?

**

Travis?

**

[ Sighs ]

**

[ Thud ]
Travis: [ Groans ]

Ahhh!

[ Groans ]

You know, I gotta be honest.
This is not

how I thought
this was gonna go.

Call me a bleeding-heart
optimist or whatever,

but I really thought
that Dietrich was gonna be

like the fat girl
at our pool party.

We were gonna -- We were gonna
mean girl the hell out of him.

You people are insane.

Oh, well.
Good times.

Donno?

**

[ Breathing shakily ]

**

[ Laughing ]

**

[ Laughs ]

I think we popped
his brain.

Stop laughing!

[ Laughing ]

Listen, if you think that
Dietrich gives a damn about me,

well, then,
you're stupider than --

Wait, I'm sorry,
what's your name again, friend?

Donno.

Then you're stupider than
fatass Donno here, okay?

See? I knew you would be
a good mean girl.

"Gretchen, stop trying
to make fetch happen."

[ Chuckles ] You've seen it.
It's so funny.

You want Smiley.
Who's Smiley?

Dietrich, he's his --
his nephew.

Works at the bar.

He thinks of him like
he's his own kid.

Alright,
get to the point.

[ Chuckles ]
He's been skimming for months,

and I wouldn't be surprised
if it was him and Big Sam

who were the ones
that ripped y'all off, so...

Dietrich's blind
to all of it.

He's not willing to die
for Dietrich.

[ Sighs ]

I would like an address,
please.

**

[ Groans ]

Oh.

[ Coughing ]

You okay?

**

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Scoffs ]

State your business.

We're looking for your guy,
Stone.

We've got an arrest warrant
for him.

[ Chuckles ] For what?

Blowing off some steam?

For pulling a gun
on an officer.

Where is he?

If I remember correctly,

Smiley here,
he hit you a few times.

You want to take him too?

And if I remember correctly,
I hit him first.

Always believed
in a fair fight.

Stone drew his weapon.

Pretty sure your girlfriend
drew first.

Cassie Dewell?

Just tell me where he is.

Haven't seen him.

Where's Stone?

I tell you what --

if I see him, I'll drive him
down to the station myself.

Not if I pick you up
first.

**

Don't say that.
Come on. Let go.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Laughs ]

Mm.

[ Coughs ]

Okay, out with it.
Why are we here?

[ Sighs ]

Remember that ranch we used
to ride at when you were little?

Yeah.

Feels like
a lifetime ago.

I did not have two nickels
to rub together,

and Mr. Coleman let us
ride for free.

Gave me the idea
for the Black rodeo,

and now more people
know that Black cowboys
and cowgirls exist.

Haven't we always existed?

Existing and being seen
are two different things.

I always wanted
my own ranch, though.

I'm thinking
of buying this one.

What do you think?

What?

[ Both laugh ]

You can bring Kai here,

and he can learn
to ride.

Someday, Kai's children.

**

What do you really think?

I need your blessing.

I think it would be amazing.
Amazing.

**

**

Smiley, hey.

What's up, old buddy?

Damn, T-Lock.
Been a hot minute.

Can I talk to you for a second,
alone?

Yeah.
Go on.

Okay, okay, you got
my dandelions waving.

**

Where the hell'd
you get this?

Never mind that.

Plenty more
where that came from.

You been stealing our product,
man?

I --
I didn't steal anything.

My boss will kill you.

Hey, okay.

I can get it for you

and you can give it
back to your boss,

or just --
just hear me out.

Just hear me out.

We can sell it ourselves.

Who else knows
about this?

Nobody, I swear.

Just think about it.

**

**

Agatha: Would you like
some coffee?

Or tea?
She makes the perfect cup.

No, thank you.

It would be rude
to not partake.

You'll have
to excuse my husband.

He can get rather sensitive
when it comes to his brother.

Yes, dear, but he did come here
under false pretenses.

Let's give him a chance
to explain, hm?

[ Sighs ]

I'm a U.S. Marshal.

I'm looking for Ronald Pergman.
Do you know who that is?

Of course.
My brother's partner in crime.

Did you brother ever talk to you
about Ronald?

About what they were
doing together?

Is that
a serious question?

I'm just doing my job.

Unless, of course,
you have something to hide.

Do you?

Have something to hide?

Shame.

**

It's okay.

My husband did not know
what Rick was doing,

but he knew he was broken.

He feels he should have
helped his brother.

Lindor: Helped him?

I'm sorry, what --
what could you have done?

**

I could have fixed him.

**

You know, uh...

I think I will
have some of that coffee.

[ Chuckles ] Splendid.

**

[ Insects chirping ]

Smiley: [ Inhales ]

**

[ Line rings ]

Alright, T-Lock. I'm in.

[ Sniffs ]
Yeah, come by my place tomorrow.

We'll, um, bash out
all the details.

**

**

Everything okay?

Perfect.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

The job sometimes
demands it.

Hard habit to break,
I guess.

Every habit
can be broken.

With the proper training.

You are an apt pupil,
aren't you?

[ Banging on door ]

Hey!

**

[ Grunting ]

**

[ Grunting ]

**

[ Gasping breath ]

[ Screams ]

**

You thirsty?

Maybe some milk.

**

These Cheezy Bites expired
five years ago.

How do people
live like this?

**

Donno: I found something.

Is that a used condom?

**

Oh, I need glasses.

These are ours.

It's too late to ask this
chucklehead where he got them.

We don't need to.

Dietrich had our drugs
the whole time.

He killed Harvey,
and he lied to my face.

I hate liars.

It's time to show this guy
who's actually in charge.

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

Ugh. Not now.

[ Phone thumps ]

Are you kidding me, sis?

[ Chuckles ]

Pack your bags, Dhruv.

We're going to Montana.

**

**

One coffee to go.
Cream and sugar, like you asked.

Thank you.

You pulling
an all-nighter?

Yeah,
something like that.

You're, um --
You're Max's friend, right?

Yeah.
I'm Cassie Dewell.

She babysits my son.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I hear about him
all the time.

D--
Good things, I hope?

Just that they are starting
the next great rock band.

Yep. Yep.
The world better watch out.

[ Both chuckle ]

Don't want that
to get cold.

Mm-hmm.

Enjoy your coffee.
You bet.

**

[ Bell jingles, door closes ]

**

**

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs ]
You're mad.

You're alive.

I thought my text said
leave me alone.

I've been looking for you
all damn day!

[ Groans ]

Oh, my God. You're hurt.
It's nothing.

I knew something was wrong.
What happened?

I had worse.
What happened?

It's nothing, Jenny!

And I'm not gonna
tell you,

and you know it.

**

**

[ Inhales sharply ]

I did it.

I'm under the wing
of the dragon.

The cartel?
Yeah.

They need someone they can trust
to run distro now.

That's the only reason
that I'm alive.

**

Alright.

I'm gonna get you
some ice.

[ Door opens, closes ]

Thanks for your time.

Sorry we got off
on the wrong foot.

You recovered nicely.

Drive safe.

The turns are hard to see
down there in the dark.

I'll be okay.

Thanks again.

Be good, Jim the Dog.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Engine starts ]

**

**

[ Engine turns off ]

"I could have fixed him."

What do you think he meant
by that?

Nothing?

Really?

No twin brother
conspiracy theories?

No secrets?

Yeah,
you're probably right.

Still.

**

[ Engine starts ]

**

[ Trash can lid rattles ]

[ Engine idling ]

**

**

Help...me...

Oh, my God.

Does it hurt?

Mnh-mnh.

[ Scoffs ] Liar.

[ Chuckles ]

I just need to know
you're okay.

Don't make me
come hunting for you again.

Mm.

Maybe I like Jenny Hoyt
chasing me.

[ Laughs ]
I'm serious.

Mm.

[ Knock on door ]

Dietrich: Stone!
Open the door!

It's Dietrich.
Hide, now.

You listen to me.
Do not come out.

You do not say anything.
Promise me.

[ Pounding on door ]

Travis: What the hell?

What took you so long?

What --
What is going on?

Someone in here?
No, no. It's just me.

[ Sighs ]

Let's go for a ride.
Dietrich.

Come on, man.
It's been --

It's been a day, okay?

I don't remember asking.

[ Magazine clicks ]

Today, Stone.

Come on.

We're gonna
go meet Smiley,

clear the air between us.
