The Big Sky (2020–…): Season 3, Episode 7 - Come Get Me - full transcript

You might be able to help me
with a problem my boss has.

Something was taken from
him, and he wants it back,

along with the
people that took it.

Where's your
girlfriend? Paige.

I don't have what
you're looking for.

- She took it and left.
- Took what?

The $15 million.

I'm looking for a woman.
Have you seen her?

- Her name's Paige.
- No, I haven't seen her.

I saw Paige's journal,

so I know a seed
phrase when I see one.



If you're in any kind of
trouble, you need to tell me.

Years ago, my neighbor's
son's girlfriend disappeared.

- Was she found?
- Her heart had been cut out.

Paige's bag. I found
it in the woods.

Wait.

You said Paige's stuff was gone.

- Help!
- E-Easy, now.

Help!

Huh?

Cass?

What the hell?

Oh, my God. Oh, my
God. Oh, my God.

Mary? Mary?

- Oh, God.
- Mary!



Oh. Oh, God.

What have you done?

I don't know. I just...

I didn't... I
didn't... I'm sorry.

She was gonna hurt you.

I was handling it, Buck!

How were you handling it, Sunny?

Oh. G...

She found Paige's bag,

the one you buried
to protect Walter.

Yeah, I know about that.

You need to tell me the truth.

Did Walter kill Paige?

- Did he?!
- I don't know.

Honestly?

He might have.

We gotta think fast,
or this whole situation

is gonna go straight to hell.

She was onto you. She
would have ruined us.

She might still.

Well, you got any ideas?

You know who's been spending
time with that girl?

Luke.

Luke.

I never did buy into his
story about Paige walking off.

Shoot, the story's half told.

All we gotta do is finish it.

All right, thanks.

Hey, any luck on
the security cam?

No, the guy was
wearing a ski mask.

He did, uh, gash
his arm, though,

when he busted the glass.

- Well, that explains the blood.
- And he took his glove off,

so if we're lucky,
we get a print.

Looks like he went
through the files

of the Bleeding Heart murder.

- Huh.
- Yeah.

- Uh, we should, um...
- Yeah.

Denise, come here.

I'm sorry.

We'll get to the bottom of this.

- I promise. Okay?
- Okay.

Hey, you okay?

I don't know. No.

Just brings it all back.

Your dad.

Yeah.

Bring your stuff by
the Sheriff's Station.

I'm gonna make
space for you, okay?

You can work this
case from there.

Okay, thanks.

Do we have any idea
what triggered this?

Uh, yeah. I do.

Yeah?

Yeah, I posted this message

on this online forum

that was dedicated to the
Bleeding Heart Murder.

Yeah, we've been
trying to link it

to Mark Woodman's death.

My post was the first
one since like 2012,

- and then this happened.
- Wow, okay.

So whoever did this

had their notifications
set up for that forum.

The question is, what
were they waiting for?

Attention.

I mean, clearly,
we're onto something.

Our backpacker ends up dead,
last seen at Deadman's Drop,

same place the girl was found.

So we think the Bleeding
Heart killer's back?

Maybe he never left.

This was supposed
to be a simple job.

Tell me about this
man in the woods.

Like I said, weird vibes.

What are you thinking?

I'm worried our employer
double-booked us,

or there are other people
looking for Paige and Luke.

Neither scenario is good for us.

Tell me about it.

And now this.

You're quite the shot
with a bow and arrow.

I'm good with ranged weapons.

Seemed to me you were the one
hitting all the bull's-eyes.

Believe me,

it's one of the very
few skills that I have.

Mm.

How did Luke do?

Luke? Not so sure.
Why do you ask?

You seem to be spending

a lot of time with
him, that's all.

Not sure what that means.

Just you're very
friendly with him.

Avery, right?

Mm.

Why don't you ask
what you want to ask?

Very well.

You're clearly not
here for the camping.

No, I'm enjoying the camping.

What do you know about Luke?

I know he's in trouble.

And I'm guessing that
you're part of that.

It seems there is quite a
lot at stake, isn't there?

Is that a threat?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Just want you to know that
I've... got my eye on you.

Oh.

Well, that's cryptic, isn't it?

Hmm.

Well...

lovely chatting with you both.

What the hell was that?

I'm not quite sure.

So what's the plan?

Okay, what about this?

We bring the campers
up here tonight

on a night hike

and discover the body together.

That way, it looks like
Mary found Paige's bag,

- confronts Luke...
- And he killed her.

That's right.

How do you plan on getting
all the campers way up here?

Well, thank God it's
a supermoon tonight,

so I'll propose a night hike.

We've never done that, Sunny.

Yeah, I know, but we'll
make it a special occasion.

I'm gonna go back down to camp

and take care of
Paige's cellphone.

- All right.
- Okay?

- Yeah.
- I just hate this.

I just hate it.

Pretty sharp girl.

I admire that.

Starting here, Blaire
Lucan, 18 years old,

the only daughter of
Josie and Del Lucan.

Murdered May 2002.

Blaire went missing
at an after-prom party

at the Basin trailhead,

and her body was found before
dawn at Deadman's Drop.

Heart was carved out.

Forensics said
that the knife used

had a curved blade
like this one.

The knife was never found.

Okay, so with all
these cold-case files,

what was the working theory?

Lots of dead ends,
but there was this.

Detectives thought
that Blaire's death

- might not be a one-off.
- Hmm.

Denise mentioned a
link to other killings.

- How many?
- Three in this region alone.

Possibly others.

All happened before
Blaire, all still unsolved.

So our guy could be anybody?

What about the original
suspects they questioned?

There was one that
looked good for it,

- but he died two years ago.
- Any others?

There's...

Let's see.

What the hell?

One of the suspect
files is missing.

How's that?

Person of Interest "D."

See who checked it out last.

"RC."

RC?

Roman Cobb.

He was the first detective
on the scene that night.

He's retired now.

He tampered with evidence.
The question is why.

Well, let's pay him a
visit and ask him why.

Wait a minute. What is this?

Okay, you see this heart?

This was taken at
the Basin trailhead,

same place that
Blaire went missing.

I saw one just
like it last night

where the truck burned
up, freshly carved.

I've been... I've been mapping

some of them this morning.

Any up by where the
backpacker disappeared?

Pretty close.

Didn't you say there was a heart

carved into the
figurine that was left

- on the backpacker's body?
- Yeah.

Okay, so he starts
carving hearts again

after all these years?

Maybe this is his
hunting ground.

Maybe I should pull
Emily out of that camp.

Okay, I'm gonna go
to the trailhead,

see if I can find this heart.

- Don't go alone.
- Yeah.

Owners catch you
tearing the place apart,

you'll have hell to pay.

You scared me to death.

- When did you get back?
- Just now.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, well, I lost an
earring the other night.

I was just looking for it.

Right.

So why are you tiptoeing
around my campsite?

Looking for Dad. You see him?

No, no.

Uh, last I heard,

he was out checking the horses.

Um, I need you to do me a favor.

Would you go back into town

and get your father's
refill at the pharmacy?

What, now? It can't
wait till tomorrow?

No, it can't wait till tomorrow.

It's his blood
pressure medicine.

You don't want to
gamble with that, do ya?

- No.
- No.

Yeah. Okay.

Well, I gotta go
get with the cook.

We need some picnic baskets
for the hike tonight.

- A night hike?
- Yeah.

That's not on the schedule.

Yeah, we just found out
that there's a supermoon.

Don't want to miss that.

You be careful
driving. See ya later.

Our friend Avery knows
about Luke, Paige,

and the $15 million.

I don't know how
much, but he knows.

There's no such thing
as a simple fetch job.

Yeah, well, we took the
job. We've got to finish it.

Or?

Or what?

Let's hear it.

We cut our losses.

I'm serious.

These aren't the type of folks

that take kindly
to quitters, Donno.

You know that.

What has gotten into you?

It's just...

We got a good thing going now.

Two businesses, a real life.

I've never had anything
to lose before.

Okay.

How about this for a compromise?

Let's go back to
town, set a meeting,

and tell our employer he
needs to double our fee.

- Good idea.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

I was gonna save this
for your birthday.

But I think you
could use it now.

It's a good one.

It's nice balance,

light recoil, easy to conceal.

It's beautiful, Donno.

Always one case that
keeps you up at night.

Oh, yeah. I've got a
few of those, Mr. Cobb.

Then you must know how it feels,

you two coming up here
after all this time.

You took a file. How come?

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

Suspect in the Blaire
Lucan case, Suspect "D."

You signed out the file
and you never returned it.

- So what if I did?
- You've no business

keeping evidence
from a case file.

I know how it looks, all right?

But I had my reasons.

- Did someone pay you?
- They tried.

Hell, if I hadn't taken it,
they would have destroyed it.

So somebody was trying to
protect this Suspect "D"?

- Who was it?
- Why should I trust you two?

Well, why hang on to information
like this all these years

if you didn't expect
someone like us showing up?

We want to solve
this case, Mr. Cobb,

and I think you do, too.

All right. So why don't
you tell me what you got?

We believe the killer
is active again.

I knew this wasn't finished.

Well, then help us finish it.

You're lucky. I
got it right here.

Here's your missing suspect.

I keep the originals
in a safe place.

Blaire's boyfriend?

- Yeah.
- Joe Walker.

His father, Hiram Walker,

was the City
Commissioner in 2002.

Okay, all right. So
a powerful father

trying to bury evidence
to protect his son.

Classmates said
that Joe and Blaire

had a big fight at the dance

and that he was unaccounted for
at the time she disappeared?

Yeah, and he said he was
passed out drunk in his truck,

but no one could
corroborate his story.

And you don't
believe him, do you?

So why not go after him?

Hiram Walker was ruthless.

What do you mean?

When I refused to let it go,
he had me put on desk duty,

saw to it that my
ex-wife lost her job.

So I sat on that
file all this time,

hoping that something
would come along

to link Joe to the murder.

Mr. Cobb, listen to me.

We're gonna do our best to
solve this case, I promise.

I appreciate that.

Not a day goes by

that I don't regret
not solving it.

Thank you.

Pops, I need an address
for a Joe Walker.

No problem.

And check his records
for me, will ya?

You got it. I'll send
it to your phones.

Thanks.

Wait. That looks like
the tree and the rocks.

Oh, yeah.

Yep.

Same weird red bark.

Wait, check this out.

That looks like a heart, right?

Mm-hmm. It's been
there a while.

Yeah, well, 20 years,
if the killer carved it

when they murdered Blaire.

So, what?

This is like a
signature or something?

The killer leaving their mark?

Or it's some kind of map.

This is the fifth tree
carving I've seen in the area.

Oh, what is that?

It's a bumblebee.

Bumblebee... "B."

Blaire.

Blaire.

Clearly, this was planted,

and the killer
wanted us to find it.

Do you think it belonged to her?

We need to contact her
family and find out.

If it does belong to Blaire,

then the killer
kept it as a trophy

and now he's taunting us.

What happened?
You go for a swim?

Well, almost.

I-I got some mud
on me back there.

I was just washing
up. Where you headed?

Mom's got me headed back to town

to, uh, pick up your
blood pressure pills.

Apparently you let
them run out again?

Yeah, well, you
know what they say.

Memory's the first thing to go.

That's funny.

I highly recommend you do
what your mother says, though.

Yeah.

You hear about this night
hike she's organizing?

Oh, yeah.

Moon is gonna look spectacular.

I don't remember
doing that ever.

Well, it's good to
try new things, son.

You know, it keeps
the mind sharp.

You know, maybe I should
stay, just to help out.

I think we got it covered,

but I'll see you
when you get back.

- Okay.
- All right.

Down in the valley ♪

The valley so low ♪

Hang your head over ♪

Hear the wind blow ♪

Hear the wind blow, love ♪

Hear the wind blow ♪

Hang your head over ♪

Hear the wind blow ♪

Ma'am.

What's all this?

Oh, I bought out the
place for a few hours

so we could have some privacy.

Privacy, huh?

These are my, uh, partners.

Tex, finest tracker
west of the Mississippi

and above-average guitar player.

Nice to meet you, Miss Tonya.

And this here is Possum.

Now, you might be thinking,
"What's a handsome young fella

like this doing with a
nickname like 'Possum'?"

Possum does his
business at night.

Ain't that right?

Night time's the right time.

Night time is the right time.

You got a pouch?

- I got this.
- He got this.

What'd I say about that?

- Don't.
- Right.

What about the weirdo?

He's mostly nice and then not.

That's quite the
team. Okay, shall we?

Well, aren't you full of cute?

Hot damn.

Tony, you should have warned us.

A real professional woman.

Possum, what did
I tell you, huh?

- Manners.
- I'm sorry, sir.

Now, let's start with
the complications.

Well, when you hired us,
you failed to mention

that there are $15
million at stake.

You also failed to say

that there are other
people looking for it.

Double the danger,
double the fee.

It's not the job
we signed up for.

Hell. Honey, this ain't
the life I signed up for.

Possum, neither.

He wanted to go into...
What was it now, P?

Artisanal pickling and BMX.

I like speed.

And, Tex, what was
it you wanted to do?

Oh, you know.
Haberdashery, mostly.

And Winston is doing exactly
what he should be doing.

We don't care
about your hobbies.

Except the pickles.

Now, who are all these other
people looking for them?

One of the campers. His
name is Avery McCallister.

We looked into him.
Shady finance guy.

He knows about the money, too.

We found Luke. We can
hand him over tonight.

But Paige is gone.

Gone as in dead or taken leave?

Unclear.

Always a wrinkle.

I told you there was
gonna be a wrinkle.

I'll tell you what.
You two kill Luke,

and then we'll go have
a look-see for Paige.

Killing Luke was never
part of the agreement.

It is now.

Take the money, take the ride.

Tex dropping wisdom.

You know, businesses burn
down so easy these days.

Sometimes with
the owners inside.

If you're looking
for your new besties,

Cutie and the Creep,
they went into town.

Wait, Tonya and Donno left?

- How do you know that?
- Saw them on their way out.

Said there was a problem at
the restaurant or something.

Are they... Are
they coming back?

Yeah, I think Tonya said

she'd be back for
the night hike.

Why?

You look terrified.

Listen, there are some
bad people on this trip.

If you want my advice,
get the hell out of here.

I know I am.

What are you... Luke!

All those hopes and
dreams in high school...

This is where that
fresh-faced kid

- in a tux ends up.
- That fresh-faced kid

could have killed
three other people

- before he killed Blaire.
- I know.

I'm just having a hard time
thinking about a teenager

going state to state,
killing people.

But then again, the world
is full of all sorts.

Hey, Ted Bundy started playing
with knives when he was 3.

Joe Walker?
Sheriff's Department.

Anybody home?

Wonderful. He's cooking meth.

Sheriff's Department.

Aah!

Hiya, Joe.

Possession, assault,

assault with a deadly
weapon, vandalism.

My, my, you have been busy, Joe.

Why don't you
start by telling us

what happened with that hand?

Burnt it.

- Hazards of cooking meth.
- Yeah, well, it got infected.

You wanna take a look?

I'll pass.

Where were you this
afternoon around 3:00, 4:00?

I don't know. I was taking
care of things at the ranch.

Anybody working with you today,

somebody who could
verify where you were?

Look, if you're gonna bust
me, will you just do it?

You're not here because of
your janky meth lab, Joe.

Then why am I here?!

There was a break-in
at a local P.I. office,

Dewell and Hoyt.

What does that
got to do with me?

Well, they just re-opened the
Bleeding Heart Murder case.

Now, the person who broke in...

left them a little message,

said "Come and get me," and
it was written in blood.

Says here a patrol officer

found you a few weeks ago,

passed out in your truck
down by the Basin trailhead.

What were you doing there?

They questioned me 20 years ago.

I didn't kill
Blaire. I loved her.

Witness statements
have you fighting

with her the night
she was killed.

It wasn't a fight.

Check the file.

I was trying to
console her, man.

Console? Is that another
word for shutting her up?

What happened that night,
hmm? What did you do to her?

Nothing.

- Hey, Sunny.
- Oh.

Hey, um, have you seen Emily?

Uh, can't say I have.

Well, she went to get a snack,

but that was an hour ago, and
she's not in the mess tent.

Well, I'll keep an
eye out for her.

I'm sure she's found her a nice
place with a wonderful view.

- Yeah, okay. Thanks.
- You bet.

Where is he?

Bathroom? With Mary, maybe?

- I'll check.
- Wait!

His bag... it's gone.

Clothes too. Son
of a bitch ran.

Talk about timing.

This is bad.

This is very bad.

Okay, he couldn't
have gotten far.

I want you to go look for him.

- You're not coming?
- No.

I got to keep an eye
out for that Avery dude.

Yeah, that night, they pretended
like they were happy for us,

taking all those
photos at their house.

- The Lucans?
- Yeah.

You know what Blaire
never told anyone?

Not even her mom?

She was scared of him.

Scared of who? Her father?

Del held on so damn tight.

We were gonna leave
after graduation,

and when he found
out, he lost it.

Well, I'd be pretty pissed
if my daughter planned

to cut out with her boyfriend.

Would you hurt her?

What are you saying?

Blaire had bruises on her
arms the night of the prom.

Why do you think she covered up?

- Why didn't you tell anyone?
- I tried.

No one believed me.

And you were a suspect.

Detective Cobb, man,
he had it out for me.

Well, he had good reason.

They questioned Del, you know.

They always question
the victim's parents.

He said he was out for a drive.

I know where he really was.

He was stalking us in his
brand-new Chevy truck.

An overprotective
father on prom night.

That's hardly stalking.

I think he had a plan.

Hello, Mr. Lucan?

My name is Cassie Dewell.
I left you a message.

Mr. Lucan?

I just really need
to speak with you.

We need to get ahold of Cassie

and let her know who we
might be dealing with.

She texted me while
we were in there.

- Oh, no.
- What?

She went to Del Lucan's house.

Oh, that's gonna be a problem.

We just got a match on the print
we pulled from the break-in.

You probably know what
I'm gonna say next.

- Del Lucan.
- When did she send the text?

20 minutes ago.

Straight to voicemail.

Okay, I'll drive. You
keep calling her. Here.

Hello?

Well, what the hell?

Mr. Lucan, I'm Cassie Dewell.

I got your message.

Step back.

Oh, you're gonna
trespass on my property

and you want to
pull a gun on me?

Naw.

You're the one who
broke into our office.

I had to get your attention.

You sure got mine

with your post about the
Bleeding Heart Murder.

So you left the
pendant for us to find?

It was your daughter's, right?

I gave it to her on
her 12th birthday.

She stopped wearing it, though.

I don't get it. What's
with all the theater?

The blood, the message?

It worked, didn't it?

What'd it take you,

all of three, four
hours to get to me?

Okay.

I'm here. I'm listening.

You want to tell
me how it happened?

Why did you kill Blaire?

What?

Y-You think I
killed my daughter?

No.

My God, no.

I loved her.

I loved my little girl.

I would never hurt her.

I...

Her heart was carved
out of her body

like some butchered elk.

I would never hurt
my little girl.

But they forgot about her.

That's why I collect all this.

Someone needs to keep looking.

Okay, I hear you.

Hands, now!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Back up.

- You okay, Cassie?
- Yeah, I'm okay.

The killer's still out there.

Luke!

Anyone?!

I'm fine, I'm fine.

It's fine, it's fine, it's
fine, it's fine, it's fine.

Mary?

Oh, my God.

Help me!

Somebody help me please!

Help!

Aah!

Emily. What are
you doing out here?

You need to help!
Somebody killed her!

- Killed who?
- Mary!

She's dead!

Show me.

Hey.

Who is this?

That's some kid they
spotted in the woods

the night of the afterparty,
the night Blaire was killed.

And the police did
the composite sketch?

Yeah, but he was
never seen again.

How old did they say he was?

Teenager?

What are you thinking?

I think it's the guy that
I saw with the truck.

Really?

I mean, older, but
it's the same eyes.

It's him.

Okay, everyone.

We've got 10 minutes
till the supermoon hike.

Hey, I don't know if we
should wait for Mary.

I haven't seen her in hours.

I think she's off with Luke.

Hmm, she could be.

Those two are pretty tight.

Okay, y'all be sure and get
you one of these flashlights.

The moon's gonna brighten
up the trail quite a bit,

but you'll want one, trust me.

Okay?

I still can't find Emily.

Okay.

No, it's not okay, Avery.

It's been over two hours.
I'm gonna call Beau.

That's not a good idea.
Look, she's fine, all right?

She's a responsible girl.

She knows what time we're
supposed to leave at.

- She's...
- Hey, Sunny?

- Yeah?
- Did you see Emily anywhere?

I still haven't found her.

No, I haven't, hon. I'm sorry.

Okay, thanks.

Yeah, uh-huh.

Okay, we'll take care of
that tomorrow. Thanks.

There's still no sign of Emily.

O-Okay, just calm down.

Buck's up on the trail

making a safety pass
for bears and whatnot.

If Emily's up there,
he'll find her.

Okay, well, I'm not
gonna go with you.

I'm gonna stay here in
case she comes back.

- Okay.
- You can go on with them

- if you want to.
- Hey.

Call the sheriff!

Somebody killed Mary!

- Emily?
- Mom.

Emily.

Emily, my God.

Mary!

Oh, my God! No.

Buck, what happened?

Emily found her.

Are you okay?

I don't know.

Em, is that Paige's bag?

Yeah.

Where's Luke?

That's a good question.

Buck?

I don't know, but
somebody better find him.

Hey, baby.

Paige.

Miss me?
