Walker (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 15 - Four Stones in Hand - full transcript

Hey.
Hey.

Went by The Side Step.
Yeah, it's pretty early.

Not open yet?

I'm about to head over.

Uh, just been
looking at vendors.

Yes, I know.

I'm the one who said I
wanted to get back to normal,

and I know that-that
running this place

is the best way to do it.

But turns out there's, like,

an art form to this whole



running a business thing.

Look, I'm...

I'm worried about you.

Liam...
I'm worried about you.

I'm doing better, I just...

We all need to recover
after what happened.

It was a lot to take.

Yeah. And a lot to lose.

But, I mean, the kids
are finally going

back to school, and you're
sitting here listening

to a police scanner or...?

No, that-that's, uh,
just a baseball game.

Yeah? Yeah.

Who's playing?



Okay, I get it.

Look...

I'm just saying

you chose to turn in
your badge. Mm-hmm.

To take a breather.

And it just feels
like you're not

really breathing.

I am breathing. I'm breathing.

I mean, this morning,
I did yoga with Stella

right there... it was
very, very cleansing.

Okay. Yeah.

If you can keep
your mind occupied

on something other
than solving a crime

for one day, then
I'll believe you.

Prove it.

Are you serious?

A-A-A Rubik's cube?

You just happened
to have this on you?

No, I got my old one
from Augie's room.

He doesn't think that you
can do it, by the way.

Good luck.

Wow. Hey.

This is not at
all what I thought

this place would look
like once you took over.

I was expecting, um

customers.

To what do I owe
the honor, Ramirez?

Some case you need help with?

A witness... you want to crack?

Uh, maybe, a piece of evidence
you need to link to someone?

Breakfast. Breakfast?

Trey still out of town? Yep.

He's visiting family.
How did you know?

Well, you're up a lot
earlier than usual.

And he and I text a
lot. His mom says hi,

by the way. Yeah,
I should've gone

with him, but navigating moms
is still a sore subject for me.

Oh, I thought you
reached out to your

uh, to Mercedes.

Yes, I did call

my runaway, drug
addict birth mother.

But I left a message saying

we actually had met before.

You think she knew
it was you that day?

No. Adriana told me

that she lied about
her being her therapist

because she saw a
Ranger and got spooked

and was just trying to
cover up the whole DWI mess.

Yeah. Anyways, I don't even
want to talk to either of them.

Wow, okay, uh... Well, what?

She's right behind
you. Good morning.

Someone at the station told me
maybe I could find you here.

You know what,
I'm gonna go ahead

and make us a cup of coffee.

You need to believe
how sorry I am, Nina.

Micki.

My name is Micki.

And you had 30
years to say that.

So if you can't offer me

one good reason why it took
you so long to be sorry,

for basically selling me to your
sister and never coming back.

I don't think this
conversation can go anywhere.

That's fair.

I was expecting you to greet
me with four stones in hand.

"Four stones in hand"?

It's an expression.

It means that you're
already prepared for attack,

even if you don't know that
you're gonna be threatened.

You used to say that.

I used to say that, when?
When I was three years old?

Not you. I mean, at the
time, I thought it was you.

A few years ago, I was
clean and looking for you.

I found someone who told me
that they were my daughter.

And I believed them.

Turns out I was being scammed.

Micki, that's why she
wanted to see you.

To make sure it wasn't
happening again.

I'm sorry, don't you
have a kitchen to clean?

Not until I hire a cook.

Okay, I don't know
what you want from me,

but I am not the person
to help you get it, okay?

So good luck trying
to fool whoever else

you want with this story.

Please, stay.

Now that sounds like something

three-year-old me
would've said to you.

Do not get in the
middle of this.

Uh...

No Attenborough today?

: If
they walk 16% slower,

the Walker siblings may be able
to skip first period as a whole.

I know.

I can't handle having to
explain to people again

why they should
feel sorry for us.

Not when the last thing I want
them to actually be is sorry.

No one's gonna get
it, except you and me.

But

if you ever want to talk...

I don't.

But, hey,

on the bright side, uh,
at least being invisible

to the entire school will
finally work to my advantage.

Stella, oh, my God!
Tell us everything.

You poor thing. I can't believe
you're back in school already.

Mm.

Augie, how are you?

August!

You're so brave.

Do you need anything?

You know my name?
Of course I do.

Maybe I'll find you after class.

Suddenly I'm brave.

Oh, come on, it's better
than "oh, his mom died"

or "it's that quiet A/V guy we
keep on referring to as 'Arlo'"

"for whatever reason." Hey,
not everybody calls you Arlo.

Look, our life has screwed us
up so many times, all right?

Why not take advantage
of just one tragic thing?

: Don't get involved.

You know the rules, Cordell.

Do not get involved.

Okay.

Hey.

Didn't mean to
scare you. I just...

You all right

in there? I'm-I'm
fine. Thank you.

Okay.

Ma'am, just a concerned
citizen here. That's all.

Um, can you tell me anything

about the person
who scammed you?

She said her
name was Nina Ruiz.

Or he said. I mean, it
could've been anyone.

"Could've been anyone"?
Uh, didn't you two meet?

All we did was write
letters to each other.

But things were good between
us. What was their angle?

I mean, there are easier
ways to find a pen pal.

One day, Nina or
whoever they were

reached out asking for
money for a surgery.

I sent her what I had

and never heard from her again.

Eventually,

I drove down there.

But the place was empty.

Wow. That must
have been painful.

It didn't last
long. I numbed it.

Yeah. Years of sobriety

gone in a second.

Didn't even tell the cops.

I mean, what's the
rush in helping

a low-income addict
with no evidence?

Well, the letters
would be evidence.

I burned them all.

Not my smartest move,

but you probably
understand by now

that I wasn't thinking straight.

I get it. Um, you know what?

I'm gonna take your case.

Except let's not
call it a "case"

since I can't
officially be on a case.

It's-it's my decision.
Don't worry about it.

But let's just call it a
"personal favor... quest"

just in case your daughter asks.

Which she will.

Eventually. Um...

Tell me.

What's the mailing address?

Stop! Hands
where I can see them!

Randall. Yeah. Walker?

Hey!

What in the hell
are you doing here?

Stretching. You know?

Sightseeing. Uh...
I'm in the market.

This how you greet me?

Well, we had a complaint
next door, and then I saw you

hopping the fence.
Yeah, j-just a

a series of unfortunate
events. Uh...

I'll be on my way. Whoa...

DPS says you're not
a Ranger anymore,

so technically, this is still

trespassing.

Look, I really apologize
for this, but...

Go ahead. You're under arrest.

Cordell Walker,

you have the right
to remain silent.

Just give it to
me, and I'll do it.

Aw, what's the fun in that?

: Micki! Hey.

What did you do
this time, Cordell?

Speeding? Driving
while shirtless?

Or, uh, some other
crime that exemplifies

your privilege since
you're here playing a toy?

Meanwhile, if I had
done the same thing,

I'd be deported even though
I was born in this country.

You practice that
speech on the way over?

I've been practicing
it since I met you.

So,

what was it? WALKER: Okay.

Don't freak out.
All right? I-I was

technically, uh, trespassing

while, you know, checking out
your mom's story.

That tracks.

See, I knew you'd
be angry, which...

It just goes to show how
well we know each other.

When you think about it,
it's kind of sweet, you know?

The one thing I asked you
to do was not to meddle.

And what did you do?

Okay, she was crying,
Micki. She-she was

crying. What was
I supposed to do?

Not meddle!

Hey, August.

Oh!

No!

Augie?

Augie?

Seriously, Connie?

I thought...

Security, I'm gonna need backup.

We have a criminal here. Okay,

it's not a crime if all
charges have been dropped.

Mm. And I saw you
dial a fake number.

But, like...

Sorry, um... No, I-I didn't mean
to actually dial this extens...

What?

Layla from the mayor's
office for Walker?

The mayor's office? What else
did you do? Oh, I'll take it.

Just trust me.

Layla! Hey-hey-hey!

How are those crazy kiddos?

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, I'm-I'm aware that
I'm, uh, not currently

an active Ranger... I
just needed to tie up

some loose ends and...

Yeah.

Okay.

Thanks, Layla.

So, nobody has lived
at that address

for the past 30 years.

Meaning nobody could
have gotten her letters.

Ah. Surprise, surprise.
Who would've thought

the woman who sold her daughter
would turn out to be a liar?

You know... Micki, something
doesn't add up, though.

I mean, why, uh, uh, make up
the story, then, you know?

I mean, why give me an address?

Whatever it is, clearly
there's an angle with her.

But that is not my
job, to figure it out.

Okay, but if I'm right, if
she's telling the truth...

I mean, imagine if you thought

you were finally reconnecting
with the daughter you gave up.

You think you're
having, uh, closure

or-or progress or
whatever it is,

and it's a lie.

And then, when you
actually get the chance

to meet the real person,

she ditches you before
the coffee gets cold.

Well, maybe this'll help.

Few years ago,

someone requested

that the post office
forward any letters

addressed to Nina
Ruiz to a P.O. box.

Ha-ha! See? See?

: Facts.

So.

Are you ready to join my quest?

Fine. Let's go talk to Mercedes.

Depending on what treatment
works out for you,

this might only take a year.

That's a pamphlet.

What? A pamphlet?

Silly me,

thinking I was reading from the
Oxford Book of Modern Medicine.

I just don't want any of
this getting to the kids.

I know, love.

Thank you for coming in today.

I think we should
leave... I don't need advice

from a doctor that's
younger than my boots.

: Then I'm gonna need
the name of whoever sold you those.

He's dead.

Okay.

So, I'm happy to
give you a referral,

but my more weathered colleagues

would likely give you
the same diagnosis.

Which is?

You waited a year
to begin treatment.

The timeline to
approach this casually

doesn't exist anymore.

We're looking at a
mix of...

Radio and hormonal therapies for

six months.

Six months? Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Are there any side effects?

We can talk alone,
if you want, sir.

No, we're fine.

I'm sure she's read all
the pamphlets, anyway.

Impotence. Loss of
sexual appetite.

Severe bladder and rectal pain.

We wrote for
about four or five years.

I remember towards the end,

because it was around
my one-year anniversary

of when I got clean.

No precise date?
Late 2016, maybe.

It's all a blur. Well,

you know, one year clean...
How did you celebrate?

I don't think that's
relevant, Walker.

I got together

with a few of the
NA guys and watched

the Astros game... it
was the World Series.

The first time I actually followed
a full game. You remember the score?

What the hell does that
have to do with anything?

It was a high score.

13-12? I think so, yeah.

That was 2017.

October 29.

You know this address?

A P.O. box? No.

What about this?

Just to make sure. It's
supposed to be near the...

West Lake Hills area.

I think that might be next door
to the old community center

where we used to hold
our NA meetings at.

Did the person who wrote you
know details about your life?

Like, intimate details you
would have shared at NA.

We share everything, so, yeah.

Well, are you still

in touch with anyone
from this group?

Most of us still go to
a meeting every day.

I'm headed to one soon.

Great. I'll go with you.

Uh, my car or yours? Mine.

And you are not joining.

Look, you are a civilian.

Or at least you're supposed
to be trying to be one.

Okay?

Don't worry, I'll
get her justice.

Maybe even her money
back. I don't need money.

I just want them to know
that I'm a real person.

Forgiveness from my daughter
was basically all I had left.

When that was a lie...

We can talk about
justice all we want,

but there's no justice in
the world that could make me

un-feel that.

Yeah.

Is it true that your
brother did surgery

with a gun to his head?

What?

That's what everyone's
saying. : Well

if that's what they're saying...

Come on, don't be lame.

I want your cool war stories.

Cool?

Mm-hmm.

Have you guys ever
heard that parents say

that they get this
supernatural force

when they need to
save their kids?

Well, for the first time,
I actually understood that.

Felt something weird.

I was like, ah, I'm just
gonna go shake it off...

I seriously can't handle

how he's talking
about what happened.

I don't get it.
It's the last thing

that I ever would
want to talk about.

Doesn't mean I don't
want to talk at all.

Is everything okay?

Do you want to talk, or
do you not want to talk?

Not... I guess.

Okay.

I've got to study, anyway.

It was like this

this-this force

that came over me, you know?

It just made me take action.

Hey. I just came by
to check in on you.

I saw you in the A/V room,

and I wanted to make
sure... I'm good.

Yeah, um,

I'm still not 100%, obviously,

but, um

thank you.

Yeah.

Remember, we don't want to raise
any suspicions that I'm your

that... that I'm me.

So just act like we
don't know each other.

Act normal, then?

Yeah, and, um, don't call any
attention to me or yourself.

The last thing I want is for
them to know what I'm up to.

Hi. Uh

my name is Michelle.

Hi, Michelle.

Um,

and I, uh

guess I have issues.

Uh...

I never knew my father, and

my mother, I

lost when I was three.

But all I had left
was, uh, my sister,

Flor.

But as I grew older

: And, well, wilder, um,

I began to push her away.

A few months ago,

our uncle died, and,

and he left us a lot of money.

60 grand.

And, you know, I've tried

to reach out to
Flora, but, um...

I don't even know if I have
her right number or address,

because... I haven't
heard back from her yet.

But I get it.

It's hard to trust an
addict who's hurt you.

Uh, thanks.

I'd, um,

also like to share.

They were already
fed today, you know.

Well, I'm glad
you're keeping track.

They're gonna need
you when I'm gone.

Don't you ever talk like that.

I don't get it.

You took the first step,
Bon, and then, right away,

you refuse treatment.

That is not the easy solution.
That is the easy way out.

No, the easy solution

is not to defy nature.

We're born.

We live and then we don't.

That's just the way it goes.

And that's
when I used to

call my sister's home at night,

and stay silent,

just so...

I can hear my daughter's
voice in the background.

So strong, you know?

It still fills me with pride.

Even if I know that

she's only the
person that she is

because I left.

That's it.

Thank you, Mercedes.

Okay, that's all
we have time for.

I'm really glad

you shared earlier...
very brave.

You know,

usually people come in here

with four stones in hand.

I know I did. Four
stones in hand?

Yeah. It means that you're on
the attack before you even know

if you're being threatened.

Anyway,

keep coming back... I promise

it'll be worth it.

And who knows, maybe
we can help you

get in touch with your sister.

You know?

Anyway...

If you ever want
to talk, I'm here.

Okay.

Micki, hey.

She wants to grab coffee.

Okay. Well, that's how
those programs work.

And she said, "Four
stones in hand."

Well, uh,

she could've picked that up
from Mercedes in the meetings.

I mean, that's not
enough for a warrant.

Okay, I know.

But can we move on now?

I'm about to meet Joy.

Meaning her place
is gonna be empty?

And

that if a certain
civilian would like

to go on a quest

to break into Joy
Caldwell's place

to see if he can tie
her to any of this

now seems like it
would be a good time.

Maybe just don't
get caught again.

¿Entiendes?

Understood.

Delivery!

Four fans going,
but you cut your AC.

Still got it.

I wouldn't forgive myself
if I was my sister.

I didn't fight for her.

I-I didn't even try
tracking her down sooner.

I just...

Well, I'm glad you didn't.

I mean, we can't fully
commit to another person

until we commit to ourselves.

And that is why I wanted
to sit down with you.

I would love to step in
as your temporary sponsor.

I will help you heal.

And then I will personally
help you track her down.

Joy, th-that's amazing!

You know what, I'm
gonna order another cup.

Ooh, no.

I'm gonna cut myself off
after all that espresso.

Um, just think about it.

Think about what I said.

You know, I just feel like

we could really benefit
from each other.

Thank you, Joy.

Yeah.

: Come on.

Pick up.

Crap.

Where the hell are you?

I am... viewing a house?

Okay, well, get the
hell out of there now.

She's on her way back.

But did you find anything?

Uh, I... found everything.

Get this. So, uh,

your mom is not the only
person that Joy scammed.

There have to be ten,
15 other people here.

And-and she keeps
it all to herself,

like it's some sort of trophy.

Uh, or... No, no, no. Uh, like
it's some sort of, like...

Okay, we do not have time
for you to get to the point.

Okay? Just make sure
the place is intact

and leave as fast as you can.

Okay, well, I-I feel
like we should keep

some of the evidence.

And make it inadmissible
in court? No!

Now that we have confirmation,

maybe we can get Mercedes
to call an anonymous tip.

Okay, well...

I got a better idea.

Give me a day.

Fine, you can have a
day, just get the hell

out of there now!
Yeah, all right.

Hey.

You left without
me this morning.

Is everything okay? Yeah, yeah.

No, I just needed to,
uh, adjust some things

before morning
announcements. What's wrong?

Everything is
just... It's weird.

And I feel like Bel is mad at me

'cause I didn't really
want to talk about

what happened at the ranch.

Yeah, or maybe
she's just wondering

why you didn't
tell her about that

or, like, anything else.

I mean, seriously,
when was the last time

you two talked
about anything real?

Whoa.

Anything real? That's all we do.

I mean, not really.

I mean, you-you basically
disappeared after Trevor.

Like you were only friends with
Bel because you were waiting

for someone else to show up.

And whenever he did, you
didn't have to wait anymore.

In fact, y-you actually ran off.

It's not that simple.
Yeah, I-I know it wasn't.

But don't you think
it's a little weird

that she told me
about her parents

before she even told you?

Because you weren't
there for her, Stella,

and you haven't been.

So, now something happens,

and you expect everything
to go back to normal?

Something? Look.

I get that everyone is
treating you like a hero,

but you're laying it on a
little thick, don't you think?

Yeah, because honestly, Stella,
I hate the reality, all right?

Mom is dead.

Dad left us for, like, a year.

Your boyfriend held a
freakin' gun to us, all right?

People and family died
right in front of my eyes.

I can't get that out of my head.

And now I fall apart whenever
I hear a loud noise, Stella.

That's who I am.

All right? No, thank you.

It's better people think I'm
a jerk than feel sorry for me.

Quick question.

Does that light
mean that we aired

this whole thing to
the entire school?

I guess things weren't as
okay as you said they were.

Yep.

Understatement of the century.

Hey, don't be overdramatic.

I think

it's important that we see you

the way you really are.

Yeah, I don't know. I just...

I guess I just
wanted to be the guy

people thought they were seeing.

I see you.

Okay.

This meeting is
open for sharing.

Anybody? I-I-I...
I'd like to share.

Yeah? Uh...

I'm-I'm Cordell.
Hi, Cordell.

Hi. Uh...

I have been, uh, I have
been told I'm an addict.

Uh, my addiction is

breaking the rules.

You know, pushing
the limits of-of

of what I promised.

It's only when I saw what
that could do to people

that I realized that
I-I need to change.

That's why I'm here.

I-I can't keep
breaking the rules.

And, by the same token,

I-I can't let someone
else do the same.

Someone here

has taken advantage
of a few members

who are just trying to
get past their struggles.

Um, I was able to track
down a few of them.

Bill. Debtors Anonymous.

Oh, Bill, I think you're
in the wrong meeting.

This is NA. I don't think so.

I was told this was the
right meeting to share

that I was scammed by someone
who pretended to be my son.

Alice. Alcoholic.

Scammed by someone who
said they were an ex.

Casey. Gambler. Uh...

Scammed by a woman who
pretended to be my mom.

Okay, uh, uh, I see
what's happening,

but it's really
inappropriate to interrupt

this meeting. Mercedes.

Drug addict.

Joy Caldwell fooled me

into thinking I had
found my daughter.

Oh, okay, well,

clearly we've all
been through a lot

in our lives.

And I have, too. You know that.

You know my story.

This was never about the
money for me. It was...

I just wanted to give
you all some-some hope.

That's what this was
about. No, it wasn't.

You're under arrest,
Joy Caldwell,

for aggravated identity theft,

wire fraud and being a
plain scumbag.

Let's go.

Hey. I'm honestly curious.

Did you have any
remorse about the fact

you took advantage of people
in need at their lowest?

They're humans with
feelings and emotions.

And you just treated them
like disposable income.

You don't know my life.

Take her out.

Let's go.

Well...

: This has been a lot.

Um...

I think maybe there's some stuff

we could talk through.

And I-I want that.

I really do.

But after all this,

I still have to go to a meeting.

I mean, a real meeting.

Really? Right now?

If I want to have a
relationship with you,

I can't risk relapsing.

Not now, not when I just...

When I finally got to meet you.

And when I finally also
fixed your problem.

I'm my own problem, Micki.

I'm just trying to do my
best not to let you down.

Even if you don't understand it.

Yeah, I can...

I can try to.

It's time for the
meeting, everyone.

You know what, some might
say that this is even harder

than doing it the other
way. Right? And that's

that's what I would say.
Thank you. Yeah. All right.

Now, isn't that... Voilà.

Just the perfect
metaphor for today?

What?

I believed you in there,

when you said you were
addicted to breaking the rules.

But then, as soon as you
said it, there you go again.

Okay. Micki, it's-it's
a... It's a friggin' toy,

not-not a homicide case.

Yeah, I didn't
say it was a case.

I said it was a metaphor.

For you, trying to live
your life as a civilian

with the privileges of a Ranger.

Look, I get it, Walker. But

you need to find that balance.

'Cause I'm not gonna let
Connie bail you out again.

Fair enough. I agree.

Thank you.

I-I probably should
go ahead and tell you

that I-I did break
one more rule.

Just one.

You know, maybe there's

a thing or two in there that'll
help you understand your mom

a little bit better.

I only picked out the best ones.

You know, I-I don't want to
tamper with all of the evidence.

Hey.

August was right.

I didn't even realize
I was shutting you out.

I lost my head over a boy.

Turns out I'm a terrible
judge of character

and a bad feminist.

I am so sorry.

I still care.

What happened to you was

traumatizing.

I kept checking in with Augie
to make sure you guys were okay.

I should have figured
you two were talking.

It makes sense.

You like him.

It's okay. You do.

But... we don't have
to talk about it

until you want to talk about it.

Until then, let's talk
about everything else.

I didn't think
you'd still be here.

Me neither. I, um,

was actually gonna
leave, and then...

And then I saw something
I needed to ask you.

Mm.

Why are some of the
letters postmarked after

you sent Joy the money?

I mean, she already fooled you.

Why did you keep writing?

Writing to you was like
a... sliver of hope.

And if I stopped, it was
like giving up on us.

Even if it was all based
on a lie.

I just... wanted to
talk to you, Micki.

I still do.

Um...

Maybe...

You should have my address.

I haven't opened
them yet, but...

I thought maybe you could

go through them and see if any
of them are worth mailing again.

On your own time.

To your real daughter.

Why do I get the
feeling you're meddling?

Ah, because I am.

Dad,

I know your brand is Tough Guy,

but there comes a time...

Oh, this ain't
about being tough.

It ain't even about me.
It's about your mother.

You know, she gave up
a whole other life.

And you think that that
life would have been better?

Well...

I think this family
would disagree.

So if this is about her,

then you do this for her.

Hi. Uh, that
last name's Walker.

Thank you.

What is this, an ambush?

Enough talking
around it, Bonham.

I want you to tell
me to my face.

That I'm refusing
treatment? Is that it?

"Is that it?"

It is your life.

And I want to know why.

Truly. Give me one good reason.

Fine.

The best reason.

You, Abeline Stewart Walker.

You're a maker.

You bring life to
wherever you decide to go.

And, by God, you're relentless.

Objection.

Evading the question.

All right.

You can go now, son.

It does seem like you're
turning this on me in a way

I don't care for.

If I do this treatment,

I know that I will be your
focus day in, day out.

I don't want that on you.

And if the treatment
doesn't work,

I don't want you to
think that you failed.

Do you remember this
is where we met?

Of course.

And I'd just gotten engaged.

And you were
sitting right there,

drinking champagne.

By yourself.

Which you commented on.

So... we celebrated.

Which is a funny
way to celebrate

my engagement to another man.

But, um...

here we are.

The outcome of your treatment

and my involvement in it

that could never be a failure.

It would be our lives.

And you don't get
to tell me to quit

in the name of sparing me.

Giving up on you would
be the death of me.

Abby, I just... Just
let me say this.

I got you to that
doctor's office,

and God knows why I
thought

That it would be
easy after that.

But I didn't ask for easy.

I mean, look how we met.

On the brink of a life decision.

And I have no regrets.

I want to renew our vows.

A fresh start.

I know a place we can go.

If you're thinking of Room 418,

it's not free
tonight.

Well, I was thinking

we'd go to the hospital.

Rustle up Dr. Wunderkind.

Let him throw everything
he's got at me.

We can call him tomorrow.

I was thinking...

Why don't we give...

Room 416 a try?

Checked in on you
at The Side Step first.

Hey. Thought you might be there

burning the midnight oil.

Well, I mean, isn't
part of this process

giving in to a higher power?

I thought I'd, uh, read through
these and finally hire a cook.

Oh. Look at you. Look at me.

Telling dad jokes as a civilian.

Hey. Um...

I was a bit hard on you earlier.

So, despite my best
judgment as a Ranger,

as a friend...

I want to thank you.

For today.

For everything.

Even for meddling.

Meddling? Mm-hmm.

Hey, Micki.

Hey. Hey.

Wow.

You solved it.

Yeah.

I'm impressed.

It took me a week

to solve my first
Rubik's Cube. Mm.

And you did it in a day.

Yeah.

Hmm. I guess we just have
different skill sets.

Yeah. Yeah.

We're all pretty good

at sussing out liars, right?

And, uh, uh, you're right.

Both of you are right.

I need to accept that my life

shouldn't be what it was.

It can't be what it was.

And, um, before Emily died,

she was always the one that
kept me in check with work.

And now she's gone,

and I have you two.

But I need to start
keeping myself in line.

It's not just about
following rules.

It's about figuring
out who I'm-I'm

supposed to be on
this side of it.

On that note,

uh.

Got to be honest. Um...

I do have

a small

confession to make.

Liam, listen,

about that cube...

You cheated?

Yeah, I know. I mean,

this is a vintage Rubik's Cube.

White and blue are never
next to each other. Fun fact.

Aw! All right. Fair.

Aw. Chin up,
Cordell.

There's always
tomorrow to try again.

Yeah.

To moving on. Yeah.

To moving on.
