MARCO: Previously
on The Bridge...

My life for your
son's. That seems fair.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Let's get out of here.

No, no, no! That's it? Yeah.

Look, if the guy's not gonna
comment or deny the story,

we're gonna publish as-is.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Drug lord?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

If you sign this affidavit
witnessed by us,



I can take it straight to the
attorney general in Mexico City.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

I'm sure he kept
backups of Eva's affidavit.

Do you know where
he stayed last?

(GUNSHOT) (GROANING)

SONYA: Stop!

Sonya, more are coming!

Get out of here!

(GUNSHOTS)

You were never
here. You understand?

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Dude.

Dude, I think that's the
door. Somebody's at the door.

I keep telling you,
it's in your mind.

There is so much
going on in here.

Yes!

(KNOCKING CONTINUES)

What are you doing?

Nothing. Nothing?

(LAUGHING)

GARY: Hi.

(MUSIC STOPS)

Hey bitch, what are you doing?

Hey! Be cool, man.
Don't call her names.

Why not? She's my best friend.

I don't give a crap.

Well, I do. Don't come
into my house and...

I've been here
with you all night.

You have, and you're awesome...

Shut up! Shut up!

Both of you, shut up!

This is your system?

You ass-dialed me
13 times, shithead.

I thought maybe
something happened.

(MUTTERS)

Oh, my God.

Something did happen.

Oh, God, five years.

I just lost five years,
230 days of sobriety.

Hey, it was an amazing night!
We'll start again tomorrow.

No, man, you
can't get that back.

Hey.

Hey, hey.

(CRYING)

You're still gonna hook me up
with Secretary of State, right?

Yeah. Yeah!

Ooh, yes! Yes, yes, yes.

Yes! You are the best!

Yeah.

You are awesome! Yeah.

You are the best, big guy. Yeah.

Oh, yes! Oh, yeah.

DANIEL: Oh.

Yeah. I love that guy!

Uh-huh.

The system

does not work.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(LAUGHING)

I'm working the story.

(BOTTLE SHATTERS)

Your little playdate
is over, okay?

You're coming with me. Come on.

Come on! I'm coming!

Get your ass outside.

Okay.

(INDISTINCT MURMURS)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

Huh?

(CHUCKLES)

(LOUD CLATTERING)

(GROANS)

What was that?

What do you think?

(GROANS)

Oh.

Did I, uh, ruin sexy time?

Sleepy time, dickhead.
DANIEL: Yeah.

Little bit of
incident with cereal.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm surprised you're
even conscious.

What are you talking about?

I'm a professional.
(FAUCET RUNNING)

(GROANS)

Ah...

Which one of you
lesbians is the knitter?

I knit.

You got a problem with that?

Problem? Are you kidding me?

I actually think
it's quite sexy.

Like, super hot. (CHUCKLES)

Speaking of.

You know how you make
Martha Stewart scream twice?

I'm going back to bed.

You two have fun.

Good night.

Wait. Do it again. Kiss
again, one more time.

Shut up. For me.

Hey. (CLEARS THROAT)

You want to see the only
upside of a cocaine binge?

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

(SIGHS)

You promised to
call after the hearing.

You shouldn't come here.

It's not safe for you.

So?

It's done. Want a beer?

No. (SNIFFLES)

(BOTTLES CLINKING)

(SIGHS)

Have you told anyone? Hank?

Of course not.

Good. (SCOFFS)

How is that good, Marco?

We lied.

I pretend to be the hero,

everyone saves face,

and your name's kept out of it.

The lie protects everyone.

Did you arrest Robles?

It's not that easy, Sonya.

Why?

Mexico City has Eva's affidavit.

That should be plenty
to take him down.

No, they don't.

What?

I still have it.

We promised we were
going to do something.

Yes.

And we will, Sonya.

Just not now.

DANIEL: No, no. Look,
wait, wait, wait. Okay, wait.

Look, okay, Grupo Clio has 79 shell
corporations in Texas alone, right?

How are you inside the Secretary
of State's internal site right now?

I told you, I was working.

Yeah, how'd you get access?

It doesn't matter, all right.
(STAMMERING) It doesn't...

Who cares? Right.

Okay, look.

Captain Suicide.

Benjamin DeLarge? Yes.

What's Red Ridge
View? I don't know.

It's some shitty housing
development thing, but look.

He's on the articles of
incorporation, and he's the CFO.

So? So, he sucks
on a bullet, right?

Then that business transfers.

He signed it over
from the grave?

Yeah, that or Grupo
Clio doesn't want anyone

looking into this place
after DeLarge died.

Are you gonna tell me
what we're doing here?

(EXHALES)

I've been looking at
my brother's drawings.

When I cleaned out his cell,
there were boxes of them.

I just kept looking at 'em,
hoping they were drawings,

random drawings, but
they weren't. And then I

saw this in your apartment.

(SIGHS) You took it?

I borrowed it and
then I started looking.

He said this...

This place was
important to him, that...

This was a special place.

(EXHALES)

He took you here?

Yes.

Jim, he told me about this girl.

Bridget Rowland.

She went missing.

It was all over the news.

When? When was this?

Six months before he killed

your sister.

Lisa wasn't his first.

Sonya...

(INDISTINCT POLICE CHATTER)

(WOMAN TALKING ON POLICE
RADIO) (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)

TIM: Hey. Here you go.

Her name's Bridget Rowland.

Last seen after her shift
at the mall snack bar.

PD said she was a runaway.

Her folks said otherwise.

Jack said his
brother knew this girl?

SONYA: Yeah.

We'll have to notify the family.

Copy that.

(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

Hey.

SONYA: Hank. No.
TIM: Hey, hey, hey.

SONYA: Hank, stop it!

Both of you, stop it! Stop it!

TIM: Hank! (YELLING)

POLICE OFFICER:
Pull him off. Pull him off.

Hey!

You pig!

(SPITS)

He knew, Sonya.

All those years and
that poor girl's family

was wondering where she was.

And you knew!

I had to be sure.

Bullshit!

You knew.

You knew and you did nothing?

And your piece-of-shit brother
grabbed her sister and murdered her!

Her sister would be alive today.

That's on you, Jack.

I was just a kid.

I was just a kid.

I don't give a shit.

Why don't you tell her
what you did to my brother?

Ask him.

What's he talking about, Hank?

My brother didn't have a gun.

He didn't draw on
you in that motel.

He was unarmed,
and you shot him.

That's on you.

That's on you!

Hank?

He's a liar.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

DANIEL: One
hundred fifty houses.

Community pool, views,
financing's available.

Have you talked to Cuevas yet?

Never gonna write
that garbage again.

Yeah, he gave me
some bullshit story

on the water conservation
program the city just voted in.

Yeah? You should go freelance.

Write whatever
you want, no editors.

What...

What is this shitty little room?

Nobody's actually
publishing you either. Ah.

A minor detail at this point.

He would fire me if he found
out I was working with you.

All the more reason to be here.

Cuevas can suck it.
(VEHICLE APPROACHING)

Who's this jackass?

Hey, there.

Hi. Help you?

Yeah. We're, uh,

looking for this guy, Chip.

He was gonna show us a house.

Yeah, well, you might
as well stay in the shade.

Chip likes to operate on Mexican
time, if you know what I mean.

No.

I don't know what you mean.

(CHUCKLES) Oh. Oops.

Lo siento.

Yeah.

What's your name, pal?

Ray Burton, manager.

Pretty much.

Also a co-owner.

If you want to take
the tour, I can take you.

All right, you got the
living room in here,

you got the master
suite upstairs.

You just saw the kitchen.

Skimped on the
trim, if you ask me,

but you got marble floors,
sweet landscaping front and back.

You have many buyers lined up?

It's not on the market
yet, but it's gonna go quick.

You know, there's
nothing like it out here.

Yeah.

Grass in the desert.

It's a real Shangri-La.

You two planning on
popping out any kids?

Something like that.

No.

We're writing a story.

El Paso Times.

We've linked this development to

a money laundering operation

on both sides of the border.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Stop your clock, sister.

You said you were
the co-owner, right?

No. Actually, I just
work here, an employee.

DANIEL: Ray Burton?

Hmm?

What's your partner's name?

I don't have a partner.

Oh.

What did you say
this story was, again?

I don't know. I was
thinking something like...

"Cartel Moves Money
Through Desert Subdivision."

What do you think?
Want to comment?

I think

you two should find
your own way out.

You know when the dude with
the puka shells runs away from you,

you are on to something.

Ooh-whee. (PEN CLICKS)

Ms. Eleanor.

(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

What are you reading?

It's nothing.

Can I see it, please?

It's about vampires.

Erotic vampires.

Well, yes.

This is of interest to you?

I get swept up in the story.

(SNIFFLES)

There's no shame in that.

Tell me about the cops.

Well, they, uh...

They looked around the building.

They didn't find anything.

Names?

Hank Wade and Sonya Cross.

(PEN CLICKS)

Thank you, Cesar.

You've been very helpful.

(CAR ENGINE STARTS)

You got a minute?

I want to apologize.
I was out of line.

Did you shoot
him like Jack said?

Yes, I did.

I did it to protect you.

(SCOFFS)

The report said he had a gun.

No gun.

(EXHALES)

What happened?

I tracked Dobbs down to
that motel and there he was,

just laying there watching TV like
he didn't have a care in the world.

I had every intention
of arresting him.

I truly did. But...

I remembered the
look on your face

when I took you
in to ID your sister.

You were holding my hand.

Knowing what that son
of a bitch did to Lisa...

Did to you.

There he was,

watching Wheel of Fortune,
eating a bag of potato chips.

I knew what I had to do.

I played it out in my mind, and every
time I did, it felt good. It felt right.

So I broke down the door.

He came at me, and
I shot him in the head.

Only it didn't kill him.

I've spent half of my life

searching for answers
why he picked my sister.

You watched me, Hank.

It wasn't your choice to make.

Yes, it was.

I became a cop because of you.

Because of that day,
I looked up to you.

I've called the DA,

and I'm gonna
make a full statement.

Sonya, I'm sorry, I could have
done things different, I know, but...

Can you forgive me?

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

MONTE: Eleanor...

Charlotte Millwright,
Ray Burton.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Okay.

I wish to speak
to Charlotte alone.

(GROANS)

Sorry, hon,

but seeing it's my ass
on the line here for your

little boondoggle that you, Tex
and our Mexican friend got going on,

I'm just gonna cut right to it.

What's in it for us?

You get to live.

I believe Monte made that clear.

Abundantly.

What happens when
this thing goes tits up?

I don't understand.

Some reporters
came to the house.

Maybe next time, I
go all Deep Throat

and I tell 'em what you
got going on out here.

You do know who you're
working for, don't you?

Yeah.

So?

Once, there was a
village in the desert.

In the village lived a man.

He had a child, a girl.

One day, he took
her to the barn.

The man lay on top of her.

His weight crushed her.

Well, what's this have
to do with us getting paid?

This went on for many years.

Later, when this was discovered,

the girl was cast out.

She lost everything.

Darkness was tempting her.

She met her demons,

they took her grace

and drank it.

Okay.

When Mr. Galvan found her,

he asked her what she
wanted most in the world.

She asked for vengeance.

So he went back to her village.

He shot the man's wife.

She had turned a blind
eye to the plight of the child.

He took the man
back to the city.

He brought him to a basement

where a starved dog
was locked in a cage.

He took the dog out,

put the man in,

castrated the man
and fed the dog.

He taught the man to be a pet.

He's still a pet.

What, is this some kind of

parable?

I want you to understand
the kind of men we work for.

And?

Do you want to be a pet?

That

is not on the to-do list.

What happened to the girl?

She survived.

Do you understand your role?

Yep.

Good.

I will take care
of the reporters.

Thank you for bringing
it to my attention.

(SIGHS)

I don't want to see you.

Just give me two minutes.

Please.

How long have you known,

exactly?

Not until I saw the
drawing on your fridge.

What made you
think he killed Bridget?

The night she went missing,

my brother told my parents
he was at the movies,

but he wasn't.

He snuck back
into the house late,

and I remember seeing
dirt on his clothes.

Why didn't you say anything?

I don't know.

I was 13.

I mean, he was my big brother.

It would have made
a difference, Jack.

Lisa could still be alive.

(SIGHS) Okay, look...

I want you to
understand, please,

I didn't come looking
for this. Bullshit.

You knew exactly
what you were doing.

So did you.

You bring me here,

show me pictures of my brother,

screw me for answers... (SCOFFS)

Hey.

I don't have room
in my life for liars.

(KEYS JANGLING)

You're right. Here.

I'll see you.

Hey, Lucy.

(CRYING) Oh, my God. Lucy.

Lucy, stay awake.

Come here. Hey. Hey.
You hear my voice?

I need an ambulance!

I need an ambulance now!

Please, it's my girlfriend.

I need an ambulance. Stay awake.

Hey, Lucy, stay with me. Stay.

McKENZIE: I hear it's been
a hard winter, Ms. Millwright.

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

(CHUCKLES) Oh. I think you do.

(RECORDER BEEPS)

This is Charlotte Millwright.

Hard winter.

I need help. (BEEPS)

What did you need
help with, Ms. Millwright?

Really, it's nothing.
I'm fine now.

It didn't sound like nothing.

I don't need any help.

Ms. Millwright, we know that
you're working for Fausto Galvan.

It was in Agent Froome's file.

Where is Froome?

Reassigned, to Latvia.

Now, why the distress call?

I want to make a deal.

Let me tell you how this
is gonna work, Charlotte.

You're gonna tell me
exactly what I want to know,

when I want to know it,

or you're gonna do time in a
federal prison on drug charges.

You are gonna help me
take down Fausto Galvan.

That's the deal.
