The Big Sky (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 9 - Trust Issues - full transcript

Jenny and Cassie desperately search for answers. After Bridger and Madison receive a threatening call, Max and Rachel take matters into their own hands. Dietrich becomes hellbent on revenge. Wolf and Agatha attempt to protect Phoebe.

There were two bags.

One had money
and one had drugs.

Where is it?

What do you want me
to do with this guy?

Dietrich: Kill him.

No, no! No!

Cereal?
It's my comfort food.

My mom would let me eat it
when I was a good boy.

Lindor: Anybody here?

I got bear spray.

How could
he have escaped?!



I don't know.

I'm gonna find him
before he does any damage.

I believe
this belongs to you.

Ren: Jag, meet Stone.

Jag is here to --Oversee.

That's not how
I'd put it.

Jag:
Where is the money?

I have a hunch.

Any update on
the fingerprint job I gave you?

Got prints off
the coffee cup.

State has the key chain
from Harvey's crime scene.

Waiting on them
to compare.

Give them a nudge,
will you?

I'm on it.



Where's the money,
Maxie?

Why don't you put down
the wrench?

Did you come
for my daughter?

Tell her to stop
looking for me.

Son of a bitch!

Phoebe?

Phoebe?

Hello, Ronald.

Cassie:
What the hell?

Dad?

911 Operator:
Are you still there?

Hello?

The police are almost there.
Are you still with me?

Are you still there?

Officer:
Clear.

Jenny:
Cassie?
Clear.

Cassie?

Cassie.

Okay, come on.
Come here.

Give me a hand!

Whoa, whoa.
I got you.

Come on.
No.

Wait --
Come on.

Let's get you home.
Let's get you home.

Joseph didn't go down
without a fight.

Yeah.

There's been
a couple reports

of meth heads breaking into
local businesses.

Back door lock
was tampered with,

so that might be
what we're looking at.

Doesn't seem like
anything was taken.

And there's nothing of value
here to begin with.

Well, a meth head
wouldn't know that,

and crime of opportunity
escalated.

I'll have Denise
do an inventory.

Maybe somebody was
looking for a file.

Or maybe Joseph wasn't
the original target.

What, you think someone
wanted to hurt Cassie?

Could be.

What was
she working on?

She was
circling the cartel.

If someone wanted
to leave a message...

I'll park a car outside
her place around the clock.

Thanks.

Damn it.

Here we are.

We've got goats and chickens and
dogs that come when you call.

It's our own little,
private slice of heaven.

She looks scary.

Oh, that's just
a trick of the light.

How about a nice
cup of cocoa?

You can put as many marshmallows
in it as you want.

I want to see my mom.

Of course you do.

She's waiting for you.

Are you bad people
like Ronald?

No, Phoebe.
We're good people.

Isn't that right,
Aggie?

The best people
in the world.

Now, come.
Let's go see your mother.

You have made a mess,
Ronald.

A real mess.

Time to fix it all up.

Your mother's in here.

Oh, Phoebe!
Mom!

Oh, my God!
Thank you! Thank you!

Where's Ronald?

Wolf's taking care
of him.

Hi. Come here.
Let me see you.

Your hair's longer.

The bad man
hurt Ronald.

I'm sure Ronald
will be just fine.

Are they going to
hurt me?

No.

No, they're not.

Because you're
with your mom now,

and I'm never going to let
anyone separate us ever again.

I'm gonna get us
out of here.

Hey.
Love you.

I know you do.

Kai: I miss Grandpa.

Come here.

I miss him, too, baby.

Why did someone
want to hurt him?

I don't know.

Are you gonna
catch them?

Yeah.

I promise.

I know you can do it,
Mommy.

Something really bad happened
at the dojo last night.

That woman knows
we have her money.

What did you tell
your teacher?

I lied to him about
what's going on.
Good.

I think he can help us.

Okay.
I'm telling Mom and Dad.

They'll know what to do.

Uh, no.
You absolutely cannot do that.

So your sensei's
gonna save us?

We just can't
tell Mom and Dad.

We can still fix this.

When you get to
your house,

you tell your mother
you slept at a friend's,

and you don't say
a single word about this,

not to your mother,
not to anyone.

Let's go.

You're gonna show me where
the money is. Come on.

No, I told you.
It's in Madison's room.

Well, you're
coming with me.

No!
Listen.

I get the money and I'm out
of your life forever.

That's what you've
always wanted, right?

Come on. Come on.

Pipe wrench
found near Joseph?

Wiped clean. No prints.
Not even Joseph's.And the door handle?

Door lock jimmied, amateur in
nature, but again, no prints.

And the blood work?

So far,
only Cassie's dad,

but I got the lab analyzing
digital samples.

Report back as soon
as you get word.

You got it.

What?

I want to keep
a tight circle on this.

What if there's a connection
to the syndicate?

Trooper Dewey had Cassie
under surveillance.

It's not a terrible theory,
but at this point,

everything's
still on the table.

Look, we both know that was
not a random break-in.

And so we need to be
extra careful

in case this is
the work of the syndicate.

I am done being careful.
Hey.

I need you to have
a clear head here, Jenny.

Don't tell me
how to do my job.

I'm just trying to
make sure you're not

jumping to conclusions,
alright?

How's Cassie doing?

Not well.

Yeah.

We gotta get her
some answers.

I'm gonna start with every
security camera on that block.

You'll have the warrant
before lunchtime.

Thank you.

Where's Scarlet?

She's with Phoebe.

I hope you're gonna do
what we discussed.

I need to talk to him
first.

Talk to him?
Why?

I said I'll
take care of it.

I will take care of it.
Everything will be fine.

Everything is not fine,
Wolf.

Ronald killed a man.

I know that!

I've never put an animal
down this size.

I don't know
the correct dose.

A killing dose.
That's all you need.

Do it.

Or I will.

Hello?

Ren: Hi, Bridger!

You know who this is,
right?

Uh...uh, no.

Word of advice, kid.

Leave the lying to
the professionals.

So, how do you
want to do this?

"I would like my money, pretty
please, with sugar on top,"

or did you want
the alternative

with missing limbs
and dead parents?

I already told you.
I-I don't have your money.

Do you really want me to
come back to your house?

I guess it could be fun.

Big family dinner,
then a little murder party.

You don't want to
do that.

Why, you gonna hide behind
Sensei Porkchop again?

I gotta go. Yeah, you do.

Look, kid, however you want
to do this,

you got 24 hours.

Let's go.

We have to give her
the money.

No way.
No.

Where the hell is it?!I don't know!

Call Max and Harper.
Tell them to come over now!

Okay, okay!

We're so screwed.

Hey!

Where is Phoebe?!

I am talking to you!

Where is Phoebe?!

Of course you are.

I just wanted my family
together.

I was coming right back
to the ranch.

Yet you didn't.

You had to make
a little pit stop.

It's all over
the news.

I didn't mean
to hurt him.

Right, you just wanted to
love him to death

with that wrench,
isn't it?

He came after me.

Why?

Why were you
even there?!

You know why.

Yes.

It's nature.

Not nurture.

But you have betrayed my trust
for the last time.

Look, j-j-just let me
out of here.

We'll go away, and -- and
w-we'll never come back again.

No.
No, I can't do that.

There are no more mulligans.
No more do-overs.

The only question now
is...how?

In each spiritual journey,
there's a vigil.

Take tonight,
think about what you've done,

and tomorrow, I want to hear
about every victim --

who they were
and where they are.

Tell the truth...

and you'll get the sweet sleep
of modern medicine.

Lie to me, and you will feel
every last gasp of breath.

No. Please.

Please, no.

Please.

I have changed.

No! Please! Please!

Bridger:
What was she thinking?

I don't know.How could you?

I-I wanted to call you,

but T-Lock didn't let me
take my phone.

I texted as soon
as I could.

You broke
into our house.

T-Lock made me.

Right.

Okay, you guys,
let's just calm down.

It's not like Max
had a choice.

This is so messed up.

Why can't we just let T-Lock
take the fall for this?

I mean, we really don't have
the money anymore.

It's someone else's
problem now.

That somebody's me!

This is myproblem!

She threatened to kill
our family.

For real?

Yeah.

This is your fault.

Hey, come on.You're not the only one
whose life was threatened.

How are we supposed to
believe that?

Because I'm your friend.

And I-I don't even know
where Tracy is right now.

We can just tell this woman
that he has her money.

You have no idea
what she's capable of.

I can't believe you,
Max.

I need help.

I just -- I just need
to tell someone.

I can't --
I can't do this, guys.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I can't.

Max, wait!

Survivalist Bob: Where do you
want me to start?

Stone or the Bhullars?

Well, first, let's see if Stone
did what I told him to do.

Is there
a dead man in there?

Nope.
Just rats, and no T-Lock.

Go on.

Kill one,
for old time's sake.

I find killing small things
helps focus the mind.

Just find Stone.

What the hell are you doing?

Well,
I called you twice.

I'm not gonna just
use the front door.

I was in the shower.

Yeah, I can see that.

What's up?

I heard about
Cassie's father.

How's she doing?

Cassie's numb...

as you can imagine.

And you?

Me?
Yeah.

Nothing else matters
until we find out who did this.

Okay.
What's the going theory?

Don't have much.
Maybe Ren Bhullar.

She and Cassie
were butting heads.

Was thinking of
starting there.

Yeah.
Ren didn't do it.

That sounds definitive.

No, it's just
not her style.

And besides,
I'm with her now, so...

Meaning?

Meaning I would know.

Okay.

Um...maybe Dietrich?

Cassie did point a gun
at him.

Mm, no. I don't see
that, either, though.

So you have all
the answers here?

I'm sorry. I'm just --

I mean, maybe
it's a possibility.

I know I'm grasping.

It's...Cassie we're
talking about, so...

Yeah, no, I get it.

Look, I-I'm, uh...

I'm gonna talk to
Dietrich, okay?

Thank you.
Mm-hmm.

You sure you're okay?
You wanna...

You want me
to stick around?
And do what?

I mean, well, I can think
of about five things
right off the top.

Mm. I think...

Hmm?

...I gotta wake up early.

Hmm.

Dad didn't give you
enough allowance

to get your own dinner?

Bridger Ryan.

Ring a bell?

All-American kid,
dabbles in karate,

and stealing from
our family.

I'm just curious as to why
you're dragging your feet.

You gone soft?
Go ahead.

Kill a kid.

See how that goes.

If you don't
have the balls to do it,

have your lap dog
Donno do it.

Set an example so we can
get out of Montana.

This place
has opportunities.

You know better.

Dad's never gonna let you
set up shop here.

Profit margins
on the real estate,

transit lines,
proximity to the border --

this place is it.

But you know what's gonna
get us run out of town?

Murdering a kid in
broad daylight.

A kid with a very
sympathetic white face

that you know is gonna
get on national news.

A kid whose parents are lawyers
and have resources

to hire a private investigator
like Cassie Dewell,

who is already making my life
a living hell.

So, what you think
is me being soft

is me being smart, Jag.

I'm not gonna let you ruin
what I'm setting up here.

You don't get it.

You can make $20 million down
here and it doesn't matter.

Youdon't matter.

You're a porcelain doll
on a shelf,

but you know what happens
when you screw this up --

and you inevitably will --
it falls on me.

Dad is gonna blame me
for your mistakes

just like he always does,
so know your place

and take care
of business.

Or I will.

You know what's sad?

I'm smarter than you.

Go ahead, laugh.

But Mom knew it.

You know what she said
right before she died?

She told me
that you and Dad

were never gonna be able
to acknowledge it,

but I know you
know it's true,

and it kills you.

I'm gonna call Dad.

Of course you are.

Narrator:
Inside every bite is a memory,

a time when everything
was okay.

That comfort is
always within reach.

It lives forever, inside
every box of Cocoa Chunks.

Woman: Start your morning with
Cocoa Chunks,

made with real chocolate...

Everything okay?

I want to go home.

This place is stranger
than Aunt Mary's.

We will, honey.

Mommy just needs to think
for a moment.

She needs you
to be brave, okay?

I made you
something to eat.

Thank you.

Hey.

When can I
speak to Ronald?

In time.
Agatha, please.

Phoebe is
an innocent child.

At least let her
out of this room.

Don't talk to me
about innocence.

You have jeopardized
everything we've built.

What is Wolf
going to do?

What's fair.

Bad dogs face
bad consequences.

Good night, Phoebe.

I'm sorry, Aggie.

The experiment is over,
Wolf.

You must put Ronald down.
Kill him.

You have partners,
remember?

If they get wind of this,
they will kill all of us.

I can handle Milton.

No, you can't.

You need to do
what needs to be done.

I'll do it after our
final session tomorrow.

And Scarlet?

What about her?

I've seen inside her.

Into her soul.

And it is ugly

and black as night.

Just pl--

Scarlet --
What about Phoebe?

We will raise Phoebe.

A child
needs her mother.

Scarlet is
not a fit mother.

We brought in
two monsters.

We thought we could fix them
and we failed.

It's time for them to be
removed from the world

so they can't do
any more harm.

This, um, violence
towards women...

it's something Rick would do.

Then leave her to me.

You deal with Ronald,
and we...

we will
pick up the pieces.

I don't know.
It seems completely unrelated.

Only two doors down.
Same amateurish lock-break.

They smashed a window and
grabbed cash out of the safe.

Nothing was wiped down.
Totally different MO.

One thing I know
about meth heads --

they like sugar
and shiny objects.

Yeah, like staplers.
Not a single stapler missing.

Denise's sugar bowl,
no one even touched it.

She's got the good stuff.That RV.

I recognize it from
the security footage.

It's been sitting there
for a while.

Yeah?
Next up is the boot.

Ever tell you about
the guy I caught

trying to
cut the boot off?

126 unpaid tickets.

Just run the plates,
please.

Copy that.

My parents,
they'd freak.

A-And my friends...

I don't know if I can
trust them anymore.

You've been carrying
a heavy burden.

I'm scared.
Help me.

First thing you're gonna do is
wipe "scared" from your vocab.

There's no place for it.

Okay, but w-what
am Igonna do?

We're going
full Chuck Norris.

Okay, yeah.
We're gonna fight him.

No. You got two lawyers
for parents.

You tell them everything, have
them threaten legal action.

The truest offense.

I can't tell my parents.

Just remember...

unconditional love.

That's what your parents
have for you.

Confide in them,
and they will protect you.

If you want,
I can be there when you do.

Thank you, Sensei.

You got this.

Hang back.
I'll deal with this.

Jag: Good afternoon.

I'm sorry. We're closed
for my lunch break.

Oh, it'll just
be a moment.

We're looking for
Bridger Ryan.

I don't know
who that is.
Sorry?

I'm having a hard time hearing
you through the glass.

I don't know who that is,
and we're closed.

As in not open.

You're welcome to come back
another time.

Another time?

Okay.

No!

Bridger.

Is that you, buddy?

We need to have a chat.

See, I owe you an apology
on behalf of my sister.

No need to be afraid.

Dhruv, no!

We need him alive

to tell us
where the money is.

Jenny: Okay, I got you
chicken noodle soup.

Eat.
I'm not hungry.

I know, but you've been planning
your dad's funeral nonstop.

You need to eat
something.

What can you tell me?

You promised.

Look, Cassie, you don't need to
worry about the investigation.

You just need to
get some rest.

I promise, the minute
I hear anything,

I'm gonna let you know.

Hey.

Jenny: Glad you're here.

Maybe you can
get her to eat.

Come in.

Hey, I'm gonna
check in with you later.

Okay.

Hey.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm glad you're here.

You wanna sit?

Sure.

Do you have
any idea what happened?

Yeah, I think someone
was looking for me.

What?

Someone like
Ronald Pergman?

What?
What are you saying?

It's probably nothing.

No, tell me.

Wolf Legarski's ranch.

When I was there,
I saw a box of cereal --

Cocoa Chunks.

Yeah.

I know, it sounds
like nothing,

but then I remembered

I saw the same
type of cereal

at this cabin Ronald might have
been hiding out at.

He's been off the grid
for a long time.

Why...

I mean, why risk it?
Why now?

I don't know.

Yeah.

Maybe I'm reaching.

I -- I just --

I had a feeling
at Legarski's ranch,

and I have not
been able to shake it.

I'm telling you,
something is off up there.

Sorry.

You have got a lot
on your plate.

I just want you to know
I'm gonna pursue this.

Whatever I find,
I'll tell you.

If you want me to.

You find Stone?

Not yet.

Staked out his place

and that trailer where
the Bhullars talk shop.

He'll show.

Like I said.

Hey, D.

How you doin'?

Doin' well.

Follow me.

Where you been?

Where I been, I been handlin'
that thing you asked me to.

Mm, T-Lock.

He didn't
give you anything?

No.

You took him to the hole
and he said nothing?

Okay, he asked
for forgiveness.

For what?

For his nickname.
I don't know.

You know what is really
funny, though?

Hmm?

Is that I killed a man,
and then I get hassled by cops

for a murder
that I didn't do.

What murder's that?

That PI that drew down on you
the other night?

Yeah, her father
just got killed.

You -- You get questioned,
or...?

No.

No reason to,

and I don't know
anything about that.

But I do know
about you, Stone.

You're a traitor.

Going to the Bhullars
behind my back.

Okay, whoa, whoa,
Dietrich.

It's not what you think, man!
It's not what you think!
Huh?

Maddie, are you here?

In here, Bridger.

Your sister
told us everything.

Dad?

Now, you need to tell me exactly
who was involved, who di--

Hey. Hey.

I messed up.

I messed up so bad.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey.

Everything's
gonna be okay.

We're gonna
take care of this.

How?

We'll figure
something out.

Hey, you run the plates
on the RV yet?

Yeah, registered to a guy
about 10 miles out of town.

Reported stolen
from a gas station.

Let's pull the gas station
surveillance video.

Already on it,
but there's something else.

What?State compared the prints
you sent in,

the ones from the coffee
cup and the key chain from
Harvey's crime scene.

And?

Yeah, well,
they're a match.

Okay.

Wow.
Yeah, I know.

Hey, you really think some kids
got the drop on Harvey?

Only one way to
find out.

There are two kids here
to see you in the lobby.

What are the odds?

Man:
Ready when you are.

Woman: Alright, let me just
finish up on the computer.

Hey.

Um...we need your help.

We did something wrong.

Come on. My office.

We'll sit down
and talk about it.

I can't believe
he's gone.

If you need any help with Kai,
just say the word.

My Aunt Cathy's gonna
take him home with her.

I can't risk
him being here.

Not without knowing
who did this and why.

Almost everyone
I love is gone.

Whoever did this,
I'm gonna get them.

Whatever you
need to do...

I got your back.

I know.
She has cute eyes.

Good morning.

Pack your bags.

We'll have breakfast,

and then you'll be free
to go on your way.

Okay, um, and Ronald?

He'll be there, too.

Phoebe, I was wondering
if you might want

to pick some fruit for
our morning meal, hmm?

Go ahead, honey.

It's okay.
I'll meet you in the garden.

Good.

One last meal?

Sure.

After you.

Aah!

You are an unfit mother!

Aah!

No!

I'm a good mother.

Scarlet.

We need to hurry.

Where's Wolf?

We're getting
out of here, okay?

I knew you would
come for me.

What the hell?

Aah!

Don't touch her!

It's over, Ronald!

Aah!

You wouldn't listen!

Ronald!

I tried to save you.

Aah!

It ends now, Ronald!

No. No, no.

Aah!

Oh, my God.
Are you okay?

We gotta go.

No, not yet.

It's not over
until I say it's over.
