So, where do you think he went?
Who?
Uh…Marshall?
Cecily, I've decided to supplement your efforts.
I'm putting some of my own people on Mr. Marshall.
Frances, I've got to go. People are after me.
Hi. This is DEA Agent Harrington.
We're at a scene here. and there's been a fire.
Passengers, we have a small incident.
Shouldn't take more than a few minutes
to resolve itself.
- Hey, man. Hey. - Ugh!
Is that… Is that a Chaco tortoise?
I'm sorry. What?
Yeah, definitely a Chaco tortoise.
Look at… Look at the shell.
No, he's not. He's not.
Nah, nah, nah. Yeah. It is, it is.
No, he's from Peru. Okay?
Please… just keep moving.
Oh, yeah, no, no. For sure.
Ohh!
Oh, my God.
Okay. You're okay.
Deep breaths.
Calm down.
Go see Mom.
I never heard of that, you being there.
Oh, Frances!
Don't usually see you during the week.
Visiting hours are almost over, but…
Yeah, look. I know. I just…
I just really want to see to my mom.
Okay. We do need to talk to you,
though, about that, actually.
Given your mom's condition, they want to move her
- to a different facility, but… - What! No!
No. We can't move her. I… Look. I called about this.
I spoke with the person… I think it was Diane… who ru…
Okay, Frances. That's the facility.
But this is an insurance issue, and if they're not gonna
cover it, we need to know because…
God. Okay. Okay. Look. I will get the money somehow.
Okay?
Hi, Mom. Sorry. I meant to come earlier.
But, um, everything got so messed up.
And work is so stressful.
And I had to go to lunch with Rick today,
and then I… I almost got burned alive.
Miss you, Mom.
"Frances. I believe this may help your mom."
Wait. Marshall came to visit you?
Mom, do you want to try this?
I saw this heal a bird in like one second. I…
Pretty crazy, actually.
Oh, good. Seems like you like it.
Mom?
God. Damn it, Marshall.
I'm so sorry, Mom.
Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I had a crazy day.
I went to visit my mom and… Wow. This place is nice.
Okay, I was gonna wait until the wine got here,
but I'm too excited.
You know how you're always talking about
how you really want a bathtub,
but every bathtub in New York is, like, disgusting
because people keep mops and shit in there?
- O…kay. - Well, I booked us this place!
- That's your bathtub! - A clean bathtub?
Just for a weekend.
But… But you can take a bath.
God. Shit. L-Let me… Let me just, um…
Sorry, Nick.
- Hello? - Frances?
Marshall? Oh, my God! I've been looking for you!
What the actual fuck?
Two insane things happened to me today…
you visited my mom
and, also, someone burned down your fucking house.
Whoa, whoa. What? Ugh!
Rosie was supposed to just burn some notebooks,
but the fucking Mulvaney twins.
I knew this would happen!
Alright. Did you at least get what I left for your mother?
Yes, and it didn't fucking work, Marshall.
You shouldn't give people false hope.
Well, hold on. When did you give it to her?
Marshall, what the hell? What is going on?
Why was there a note from the DEA at your house?
That's a warrant. I can explain that. It's very reasonable.
No. Listen. A warrant from the DEA is not reasonable!
That doesn't happen to reasonable people!
I mean, does this stuff even work?
Is this… Is this just a trick?
Where even are you?
Right now I'm at a train…
I'm headed somewhere.
I'll be there soon. And then I'll be in touch.
Marshall, you are being so shady right now.
Look. I don't want to get wrapped up in anything illegal.
- Frances, I unders… - No. Please don't…
involve me anymore.
Hey!
Do you like movies?
Um, yeah.
Okay. So what am I looking at? What is all this?
Whose…collection is this?
This is everything that was taken in the raid
on Marshall Cuso.
We're just waiting on the mycologist.
Okay. Great. Amelia, hi.
So, uh, this is obviously a lot, gathered from a raid.
Mmm!
Uh, well, it looks like there's a lot of different kinds
of mushrooms here.
I wanna know which ones are illegal.
Are there any from Peru?
I-I don't know yet. I need to run spore tests.
Does that take a long time?
Umm…
Hey. Why don't we, um, leave Amelia
to sort out the "micrology" of it all?
Mycology.
Right. Right. Yup.
Okay. That's why she's the best.
Anything here that we need to know about,
you'll find it.
I can only tell you what kind of mushrooms they are
- and if they're illegal. - Yeah, yeah.
Report back to me, through Kenji.
Make it a priority.
Hey. Oh, no. Wait. Let me start again.
Um…
Uh, hey. Anything good? What's this one?
Don't touch that! That's poisonous!
Kidding.
Bye.
Um, excuse me?
Ah, this guy can't have more than half a tank left.
Yes. Hi. I'm looking for a vehicle that I can drive.
Only thing I got that can drive is what's out front.
Hi, Rick. Okay.
Yesterday's expedition did not work out,
to find the new drug that I was telling you about.
The mushroom.
Classic my life right now.
Yeah, the place burned down. Actually, it was really scary.
Yeah. Some of these amateur scientist guys are real freaks.
Okay. Rick, I would like to discuss a raise.
Ugh! This is not the time for raises, Frances.
But just hang in there, okay?
If we can crawl our way back to life,
we can all make a lot of money here.
You ever had a lot of money?
- No. - Well, it's real nice.
I tell you what. I'll give you a taste.
We're going on vacation. Or… Or a trip anyway.
We're going to Switzerland.
Wait. What?
Yeah. Jonas the Wolf wants to see me there.
Can't be good. So you're coming with me.
How long are we expected to be there?
Uh, a week?
However long it takes to put hot fire pokers up my ass
or whatever they're gonna do to me.
And this… it won't count as my vacation days?
Damn it, no. You'll get paid.
How many vacation days do you get anyway? Thirty?
Rick, I get five!
Ooh. Hire a lawyer.
Okay. I can't go to Switzerland right now.
You can't? What, do you have, like, work to do or something?
Oh, right. This is your job.
This is not what I rehearsed.
Look. Tell you what. You can bring your boyfriend.
- Really? - Yeah.
Nick? Is that his name?
How much does he weigh?
- Uh, I don't… - I was just kidding.
As long as he's not plane-crashing weight.
And as long as he stays out of your way.
Well, Dr. Lees agrees with me about the emotional labor.
Okay. Janet… I take out the trash.
I pick up Daisy's giant piles of shit in the yard.
That's your dog! Is that not labor?
Well…
Oh, shit!
John?
Johnny?
Ohh!
Oh. I just realized we're gonna disappoint a lot of kids.
Oh, man. That doesn't look good.
Hey. Um… Can you hear me?
Are you okay?
27 steps exactly from the elevator to the door. Booyah.
You took small steps.
Doesn't this seem weird to you?
A lot of suits in the evidence room.
- Not our problem. - Okay.
There's still the house burning down
and the paint from the BMW.
Yeah, that was a little odd.
I do keep wondering where Marshall went.
I hear ya.
What're we getting up to tonight?
I, um… I have a date.
Oh. Cool. Cool.
Heh. Who's the lucky lady?
Amelia.
Amelia Mushrooms? The mycologist?
I'm making it complicated.
Okay. Hey.
Have fun with Amelia Mushrooms.
Yeah, I'll probably get up to somethin'. Ha!
Hey, I know you're a detective and all,
but don't spy on my date.
Behave yourself, okay?
Boy, Hildy's not exactly on the grid.
But this should be the spot.
Well! Look who's here.
Hildy! Nice, um, uh, home.
Yes! Very. Thank you.
I-Is it okay if I come in?
Anyone with you?
Uh, I have a tortoise.
Would your tortoise like some tea?
- Uh, I don't think so. - Okay.
Um, are you still teaching?
The occasional seeker comes by.
Ah. People who aren't afraid of real science.
Oh, shit…
You should've stuck with fungi, Marshall.
Well, that's kind of why I'm here, Hildy.
- Hm. - I found it.
You found what?
The mushroom.
The mushroom?
The Blue Angel?
Ha. Doesn't exist.
Oh, I found it. It exists.
I even took it. It saved my life.
"Found" it. Found it where?
Uh, in Peru.
A valley. I followed a river up into…
I spent 15 years in Peru!
It's not in Peru.
Well, I found it, Hildy.
You have to trust me. And the problem is,
upriver from where the mushroom grows
Reutical has this horrible industrial waste site
that's poisoning everything.
I don't know how much longer they can survive.
Of course!
It adapted! It evolved!
- What? - The runoff!
- It fed it! - Fed it? No.
Chernobyl. Remember Chernobyl?
The melanized fungi?
Yeah…
The radiation altered the structure
of the melanin molecules.
The fungi weren't growing in spite of the radiation.
They were changing and growing because of it.
Oh, my God! How did I miss that?
Oh, my God! It's feeding on the runoff!
Hildy!
Did you bring it here?
What?
Did you bring it here? Let me see it!
Well, okay. I was hoping that, you know, the two of us,
maybe with your help, we could find a way to grow it.
So you do have it. You brought it here.
Show it to me. Show it to me!
Hildy, you're kind of scaring me a little and…
Have you been taking your medication?
- Meds? - Okay…
They should be taking my meds!
Maybe this… Let's just sit down…
Show it to me. Show it to me!
- I want to see it work! - Hildy.
Hildy! Whoa! Whoa!
I want to see it…work.
Hildy, put the gun down.
Put the gun down!
Ohh!
Crazy old lunatic. God damn it.
Oh, God. She's crazy. She's crazy.
You found it!
It's real! And you fucking found it!
Air flowing okay in there, Wyatt?
"Your behavior has been dishonorable!
This is only words now.
The meaningless chatter of birds.
Your talk makes me weary. So we will fight."
"I insist on it."
"Very well then. We will battle to the death!"
"There is no other way."
"Our swords will settle things."
"So they will."
El Chacal Del Valle.
Hey. Translate "Chacal."
Chacal. Jackal.
Slang for killer. Serial killer.
That is a serious mushroom.
Who else knows about this?
No one. No one.
Just… Just, um…Frances.
And who is Frances?
My old lab partner.
Lab? NIH?
No. Um, Lincoln High School.
Marshall. Did some girl make puppy-dog eyes at you?
And so now you're giving away the world's greatest mushroom?
Pathetic!
She's really nice, Hildy.
Why'd you come here?
Well, I-I really thought you could help me grow it.
And we could give this to the whole world. Think about that.
If… If it's growing because of the runoff,
if it's adapted to our poisons, that's…
that means we just need to find a place
at just the right altitude, humidity, no freezes,
and then right on top
of the nastiest pharmaceutical landfill we can find.
We could do that!
This is too powerful for you, Marshall.
You barely understand what you're dealing with.
Leave it. Leave it with me.
Okay. Hildy, you're kind of scaring me again.
Give it to me!
I think I better go.
Marshall!
Give it to me! Give it to me!
Marshall!
What the… It's Thursday!
Yeah. It's Thursday.
Thursday's your day.
Well, I guess we got extra coffee.
- How was your date? - Stood me up.
Are you serious? Amelia Mushrooms did that?
Don't even mention that name. She's dead to me.
Well, I've got something very interesting to discuss.
What if I told you Marshall Cuso is a suspect
in serial murders in Peru?
Janet?
John! You're awake! Oh, my God!
- Doctor! - I'm okay, honey. I'm okay.
They said you wouldn't make it!
They said there was no way!
And right over there, an old Reutical dumping site.
Pharma waste. Food for a mushroom.
Oh, my God.
I cannot believe we're on a private jet.
Talk like you belong here, son. Call it a "P.J."
Aw, hell yeah! A "P.J."
I-I just… I can't believe, like, a car
brought us right up to the door of a plane.
Like, that's…
- Ohh! - Champers!
He has it? For real?
We have to move fast.
I'm driving.
Hello.
