The Big Sky (2020–…): Season 3, Episode 11 - Super Foxes - full transcript

What I need from you is
a larger finder's fee.

I don't renegotiate.

- A deal's a deal.
- Track him down.

It's Avery. I-I think something
terrible might've happened.

I think Avery is making
a play for the money

that Luke and Paige stole.

So, what's so important
about that bag of yours?

There's something in it I need.

Help me get it back

and I'll help you
get Walter out.

- Where is she?
- I don't know.



If he can't find Paige,
we are all in big trouble.

I don't know why

you thought it was a good
idea to stick around.

What the hell?

Mom.

What happened?

I messed up.

Bad.

And I need your help.

Help. After what you did?

Where's the 30 grand
you stole from me?

Jenny, you gotta believe me.

We gotta get out of here now.

Where's the 30 grand
that you stole from me?



If I tell you, will
you listen to me?

It's gone.

I hired some local to launder it

so I could fix a
problem, but I messed up.

I grifted the wrong guy,
and his family is crazy.

And if we don't get
outta here right now,

we're both gonna be
in a world of trouble.

Let me see your hands.

Show me.

What are you doing?!

- Ow!
- You'll be safer in jail.

Please! Jenny, please,
you gotta believe me.

I'm not lying to you...

I can't do this with
you anymore, Mom!

I don't know what mess
you got yourself into,

but maybe jail and a
court-appointed lawyer

can help sort it out.

Jenny...

Oh, God. Oh, God,
th-they're here.

- Jenny, please, get your gun!
- Cut... Cut the drama.

I'm not lying! Please!

Help me.

Bad guys don't knock.

No, wai...

- Oh, my God. I just...
- Jenny?

(distorted) Jenny!

Yeah, that's her. Let's go.

Get her up!

- MAN ♪2: Come on, now!
- No!

Grab this camera here.

MAN ♪2: You're coming with us.

Would you please
put that thing down?

- I'm not going anywhere.
- I'd rather not.

Any sign of Paige?

No. I looked everywhere.

My socks are wet.

I got stinging nettles.

- What kind of game is this?
- Game?

Guys, Paige came to
me asking for help.

Why would I haul your
asses up here to meet her

if that wasn't true?

Well, then she's
playing both of us.

Either that or
somebody else took her.

Who else has access
to this camp?

There you go.

You want some pie?

I'm good.

So what can I do
for you, Cassie?

I wanted to talk
to Sunny and you...

Well, we're talking right now.

And you have
refused Sunny's pie,

which makes me think
you've got something

"problematic" on your mind.

So just spit it out,

'cause the night's
killed the day,

and I got a lot of stuff to do.

At this hour?

Idle hands.

I, uh...

try to stay away from 'em.

You know, we have this
man, Walter, in custody.

Yeah, the loner that you think

did the Bleeding Heart Murder.

Wh-Where did they
catch that animal? Huh?

Oh, Buck, drop the act.

Sunny is Walter's birth mother.

And you lied about the truck.

So I'm questioning a
lot of things right now.

Yeah.

Well, seems like you
have all the answers,

so good for you.

You knew all this time?

Walter had help.

Are... Are you saying Sunny
helped him kill people?

She or you helped him evade
capture all these years.

No, he was a cancer
in our family,

and I couldn't make her
see what a danger he was.

So what was I supposed
to do, Cassie?

Excuse me.

Hey, Jenny. What's up?

Hold up. You okay?

Okay. St-Stay put.

I'll be right there.

Now, what did you go and do?

Hey, what are you doing?

I can't sleep.

Come join me. I could
use the company.

Here.

Thanks.

You know, Avery's
not a bad person.

Well, he's not a good one, Em.

He's trying to
steal $15 million.

That money may have
got someone killed.

He's put you and he's
put your mom in danger.

And I'm sitting here
trying to rack my brain...

what she sees in that guy.

Sorry, I shouldn't
say that to you.

You know, maybe it's
not about money for him.

Avery's a rich guy.

He probably wants
to stay that way.

Yeah, 'cause he thinks that,

without it, he might lose her.

Why don't we talk
about something else?

Okay.

- Any topic?
- Let's dive deep.

Take your best shot.

What happened in Houston...

with your partner?

You know what happened.

Yeah, I know what "happened,"

but, like, not from you.

You never talked about it.

There's not much to know.

Not much to talk about.

Okay.

Come on, Em, where you going?

Mom never needed
you to be perfect.

You know?

She just wanted you
to let her in more.

Jenny, I'm... I'm so sorry.

Yeah, she showed
up at the house.

Someone roughed her up.

Did she say who?

Something about
grifting the wrong guy.

Sorry. Uh, is this
yours or your mom's?

Have you ever seen
me with a purse?

Right.

Jenny, we gotta get
you to the hospital.

She said that they
were after her.

I just didn't believe her.

I need to find her.

Figure out who
these people are...

Jenny.

No, no, no, no,
no! No, no, no!

All right. You're not
going anywhere right now.

We got you.

We found a motel
key in Gigi's purse.

It was to an old dive
out in Great Falls.

The room was paid in
full by a Gilbert Leeds.

Rap sheet's pretty long.
Mostly petty crimes.

But I'm guessing that's Gigi's
accomplice in the grift.

A security cam caught
a truck speeding off

at the time of the attack.

No plates, but...

we got horns.

Please don't be from Texas.

- Mm.
- We get anything else?

What? You're not
supposed to be here.

What, did you bust
out of the hospital?

And did you hurt
anyone doing it?

Hey.

Thanks for being here.

Try and stop me.

But you should be home, resting.

Well, I can't just sit around
while my mom's missing.

What do we got?

This is who she
was working with,

and as you can see by
the state of the motel,

she fought like hell to escape.

She's a fighter.

Yeah, this is Arlen.

Okay. Yeah, copy that.

Uh, patrol officer
has spotted Avery.

Go.

Yeah, we got this.

- Okay, call me later.
- Yeah.

Any idea how we can find them?

I know where to
start. Let's go.

Yeah.

I'm sorry about all this mess.

I never meant to hurt you.

I mean it.

Yeah, that's what you say.

Mmm, there you are, old friend.

Today's your lucky day,
and I'll tell you why.

This is the first drink

I've had in 20 years.

And I don't feel
like drinking alone.

Aah!

Don't bother screaming.
Nobody can hear you.

Please, just let me go.

Everyone already
thinks I'm dead.

Mm.

Sunny doesn't.

God bless her.

She's kept me on the straight
and narrow all these years.

If she could see me now...

there would be hell to pay,

lemme tell ya.

I'll disappear. Get
out of the country.

Walter stays in jail.

You are a sharp girl.

But then, you know what happens

to sharp girls.

They meet sharp ends.

No.

No, no.

- Mmm.
- Buck, please,

no, please.

Please, no, please!

Buck, please, no!

No, please, no...

Smells good.

Message from my boss...

he doesn't renegotiate.

Avery.

Who's your friend?

His friend is none
of your concern.

Well, actually, it is,

seeing as I'm the
sheriff and all.

Huh.

I never shot a sheriff before.

Well, we're not gonna
do that, gunslinger.

Beau, please, just
turn around, walk away.

I'm handling it.

I'm handling things, all right?

No, Avery, I think you're pretty
much done handling things.

But you know what, big fella?

It's your lucky day.

You can have him.

I'll catch you later.

Put your hands on your head.

Put your hands on your head.

Don't give me a reason to
make my life any easier.

Avery hasn't been to his house.

His wife and Emily
are staying with Beau.

Where is he?

If he's staying at a hotel,
he's using a fake name

because I checked 'em all.

We have to find him.

I'm not gonna let
Avery or anyone else

get away with that money.

It is ours, Donno.

What would you do with it?

The $15 million.

I'd scale up the
real-estate business.

Own this town.

Maybe start a diner franchise.

What about you?

I saw a documentary
on fox hunting once.

I'd like to breed foxes.

Open a fox farm,
select the mean ones,

breed them with the
other mean ones,

and then the mean ones
with the smart ones.

- What for?
- Super foxes.

Fish-and-chipper comes around
the corner with his hounds,

finds 50 super foxes
waiting for him.

I see you've thought this out.

My favorite movie...

The Fox and the Hound...

Tod and Copper just
wanted to be friends.

But the world just...

And they had to
hide their feelings.

It's a good one.

Tonya.

Sign says we're closed.

I know you laundered
money for Gigi.

She said, "We're closed."

30 grand she stole.

She said she used a
local. It had to be you.

Don't know what
you're talking about.

Gigi was taken by some
very dangerous people.

- It happens.
- Not us.

Okay, cut the BS.

I just (sighs)...
I need your help.

Tonya, this isn't about you.

Just tell us who you
delivered the money to.

Please.

She's my mother.

It's not a who, it's a where.

Left it at a drop box on
an empty parcel of land.

I need an address.

Of course.

Where you headed?

Out on an errand.
Where you been?

- Out.
- All night?

Not answering your phone?

I found Paige.

Where?

Well, it doesn't matter now.

I had her stashed safe
and sound out at the camp,

but when I went
back, she was gone.

Hmm.

I need you to help
me go find her.

Yeah, I'm... I'm
not gonna do that.

What the hell's gotten into you?

This is the last time I'm
gonna say this, Sunny.

Leave the Paige business alone.

No good's gonna come from that.

Hell, Cassie Dewell's already
been out here askin' questions.

About what?

She knows Walter's your son.

That's right.

You better start thinking

about how that's gonna
blow back on you.

I'm gonna do what's
right by my son.

Something wrong?

You been drinking.

- No.
- I can smell it on you.

- No, I haven't.
- Don't you lie to me.

I'll tell you what...

I'm gonna go to
the hardware store.

I'm gonna come back,

we'll fix a pot of coffee,

and you and I are gonna have
a real long conversation.

All right?

How about now?

I got something I
need to take care of.

Okay. Not what
I was expecting.

Me neither.

What were you looking for?

Not Grandma's house.

Okay. So, the parcel that

Donno said that he
dropped the money

is registered to
an Anne Whitlow.

Late 60s, four sons and several
grandkids living with her.

As for the address
that you are now...

Yep. It is registered to
the same Anne Whitlow.

Big property, though.

Not just a cute cottage.

And it has several
outbuildings on the east side.

Let's check it out.

Hey, there.

Hello?

I'm Deputy Hoyt from the
Sheriff's Department.

You must be Anne Whitlow.

Oh, call me Ma.

- Everyone does.
- Anybody else home?

Just me and, uh, Buster.

Best companion in the world.

What about the young girl?

Oh, that must've been Fanny.

She lost her mother young.

She's a wildling, that one.

Do you know who Gigi Cessna is?

No. Should I?

She stole some money that
ended up in a drop box

on a plot of land
that belongs to you.

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

I got two full sections,

and nobody ever dropped money.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Thank you for your time.

Oh, yeah.

- Do you believe her?
- Not a word.

Let's split up and
take a look around.

I'll hide your truck.

Okay.

Start talking.

Well, I'm afraid there's
not much I can say.

Why don't we start with the guy

who was just trying
to kill me, hmm?

Who was that?

Am I being charged
with something?

You know, I found those

journal pages that you stole.

Guess you're trying
to get your hands

on that $15 million.

Or maybe you already have it.

I'm sorry. Did someone
report that money stolen?

Because... as far
as I can make out,

that is what is known
as a victimless crime.

What's your plan, man?

Hmm?

New identity?

Thailand?

Or maybe you're not into
the whole heat thing.

Winnipeg?

You see, these people,
they don't forgive,

and they don't forget.

And the ones that
steal from them

rarely die alone,

which means you have put Carla

and you have put my
daughter into danger.

Did you even think about that?

Everything I've done...

has been to protect my family.

That's all you need to know.

You, on the other hand,

you've made quite the tidy mess,

haven't you?

Killing that man

put us all in more danger.

And now I'd very much like
to speak to my lawyer.

I've heard enough.

We're gonna have
some fun now, huh?

Please.

We'll give you back
everything we took.

I promise.

My brother's dead
because of you two.

We didn't kill your brother!

Maybe what we need
are purer minds.

Let the young ones decide
what to do with you two, hmm?

Does this man
deserve our mercy...

or our wrath?

No, please!

Don't move, or I'll shoot you.

Jenny...

I got this, Mom.

Your choice... Put the
popper on the ground,

or I feed what's left
of you to the pigs.

I'm so sorry, Jenny.

Shut up!

Ain't no one here
starvin' for platitudes.

Put the gun on the ground.

Now!

There you go.

You know, maybe now that we
got the next generation here,

we don't need the
OG model after all.

I like the look
of her way better.

Is that right, Troy?

- Mama, I...
- Pretty sure I taught you

to respect your
elders and women.

Robbie's dead because of her!

You raise your
voice again to me,

and I'll take your damn hand!

Bring her to me!

You don't want to
do this. Please.

Your mother cheated
my boy Robbie.

Fanny's daddy.

He put a shotgun under his
chin and left this world

because of what your
mama and that man did.

And then...

they tried to pay for
his life with money.

Now, what are we
gonna do, children?

Ohh. Joshua.

This lady...

hurt our family.

What do you think we
should do with her?

Bullets? Pigpen? The pit?

Well, how 'bout that!

Joshua calls for a game.

- What the hell is this?
- You heard me.

A game for all the
stakes in the world.

Your mother loses...

she dies.

At least she got a chance,

which is more than I
can say for my son.

Come on, get up!

Let's play, or we'll
just shoot her!

Okay. Okay. Hey. Hey.

I'll play in her place. Please.

Hmm!

You're gonna play, and you
don't even know what it is.

Well! That's twice the fun.

You can play against each other.

Wha...

Shackle 'em.

- Come on.
- Go on with it.

Oh, my God.

Do it!

Troy, there was another
woman with her. Go find her.

Oh, and, uh... take Fanny.

She's the best tracker.

Come on!

God!

You almost had me
there, sweetheart.

Come on.

Unh!

You should've listened to me.

Let's just focus on
how to get out of here.

My late son Robbie
loved this game.

Played for hours.

Rules are... you get a sack
on the box, that's one point.

You get one in the hole,
that's three points.

No other rules.
One round only.

Four tosses each. Take turns.

I'm sorry, Jenny. I never meant
for any of this to happen.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

How?

Age before beauty.

Looks like you've got some fans.

Everybody loves an
underdog. You're up.

If you ruin Joshua's game

by not trying on your next toss,

your mama goes to the pigs.

And she goes alive.

That's 1-0, for mama.

You gotta try, Jenny.

Only one of us is getting
out of here alive.

Whatever happens,
Jenny, forgive me.

You will never change.

You want me to try?

Fine.

I'll try.

Three points. 3-2.
Daughter takes the lead.

We got ourselves a game here.

No. Uh, she's cheating.

- Fat chance!
- No. She is.

She's trying to lose on purpose.

My daughter, everyone.

She's a bad loser.

- What are you doing?
- And a bad winner.

I don't think so.
She barely missed.

Two can play at that game.

Last warning, girl!

Cal, Stephen...

please aim your
weapons at our players.

Someone's about to lose.

What the hell is your problem?!

Did that lady kill my daddy?

Might as well have.

So... she didn't?

Go bug someone
else. I'm on a hunt.

The lady didn't come
this way. Can't you tell?

The grass would be bent over...

Shut. Up.

Just 'cause Ma
tolerates your feral ass

doesn't mean the
rest of us have to,

now that your daddy's dead.

Guess I won't tell you then.

Tell me what?

Thank you.

Can you tell me
where my friend is?

She's in trouble.

Can you take me to her?

Don't think of me
too harshly, Jenny.

I did a lot of bad
things in my life.

But I never stopped loving you.

Mom, please. Please
don't do this.

Never.

Don't do this.

Stop! Let 'em go, both of 'em.

- But, Mama...
- Fanny chooses mercy.

And Robbie was her
daddy. You heard me!

Tell them to walk up the stairs.

Have them ladies
walk up the stairs.

They're free to go.

You can't just let 'em go!

Don't you argue with me!

I said let them go!

Now, dammit!

Hold still.

Let's go.

Come on.

Go.

They're safe. Move in.

- Police!
- MAN ♪2: Hands up!

Hands in the air! I'll tell
you when to put those down.

Don't move!

It's all right, children.

- Let's go.
- Right this way. Let's go.

It's okay.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Thank you.

I'm really thankful
for you helping us.

Yeah.

What's going on, huh?

I got a bad feeling
about all this.

It's like in Houston with Randy.

No. You can't go there.

It's too late. 'Cause
it feels the same.

Like something is... is comin',

and I'm...

powerless to stop it.

Randy's death was
not your fault.

We both know that's not true.

He was my partner,
and I let him down.

And then... then I
wasn't there for you

and I wasn't there for Emily.

I don't blame you
for leaving me.

Well, you are here for us now.

That don't make up for
the way I checked out.

I forgive you for
all of that, okay?

And I'm telling you,
this thing with Avery...

this isn't over by a long shot.

I'm not saying
that to scare you.

- You understand that?
- Okay. Yeah.

But I need you to know this.

Okay.

I'm not gonna let anything
happen to you two.

I know.

God.

I'll always love you.

How did you find him?

Luck and skill.

- Now for the fun part.
- Hm.

Progressive amputation.

Un-gag him.

People will know.

They will know very
quickly that I'm gone,

and you will both go to jail.

Or the story is that you
tried to steal $15 million

from some very bad people and
you were never heard from again.

I have the $15 million.

That's a nice try. Only
Paige knew the code.

She's an amateur!
Once I had the pages,

I was able to brute-force it.

Right hand or... hear me out...

left hand?

You know what, Donno?

Let's hear what he has to say.

The money's in a secure account.

If anything happens
to me, if you kill me,

no one gets a bloody thing!

Mouthy.

Okay. What do you want?

I made a move against your
bosses that went very badly.

And I need protection.

Eight- or four-pound sledge?

Now, both of them
have their advantages.

Donno.

We're listening now.

I have a plan that could be
very mutually beneficial.

Mm. And how would that work?

I give you a much larger
slice of the pie...

and you keep me safe.

Good job with your
statement, Mom.

It's gonna help me
make a solid case.

Anything to see those lunatic
murderers get what they deserve.

Now I understand how...

putting bad guys in
jail has some appeal.

Good.

Then you'll understand why I
can't just let you walk away.

You would really put me in jail

after everything we
just went through?

What we went through
was because of you.

But it did mean
something to me, Mom.

Let's just call it a start.

We don't get to cherry-pick
the rule of law.

- Sorry.
- Come with me, Ms. Cessna.

Wait. Wait, wait.

What the hell else
is there to say?

Sometimes you really
disappoint me, Jenny Bear.

Right back at ya.

And I love you, too.

Oh, okay. Well, here...

Yeah, and get whatever you want.

I was planning on it.

Mm-hmm.
