Marshall Cuso did not die in jail.
He's got a grow operation in North Carolina.
Oh. North Carolina.
The mushroom's talking to me.
It wants to grow.
Copano, I'm worried about you.
Then I guess I'm doing it alone.
Why is it my face?
The FBI is better equipped to actually,
you know, make an arrest.
It's a medicine, isn't it?
Are you sure? 'Cause Marshall said…
Oh, Marshall said, Marshall said.
Maybe I did need Frances.
This is it?
Where's Marshall?
Hey, Hildy, where's Marshall?
Ha! Marshall?
He's…- He's running in the woods.
Not very sure-footed. I-I hope he's careful.
He'll come back.
Oh, shit, shit, shit.
Of course, valuing a pre-IPO pharma company
is a bit like marrying your cousin.
You know, speaking of that sort of thing…
Boy, I tell you,
I had a… I had a cousin, my cousin Lou.
Marshall?
So he used to stick ice cubes up his ass, I swear to God.
Yeah, he'd… he'd be at a hotel somewhere
and he'd just go to the ice machine
and start sticking ice cubes up his ass.
I think he'd do it at home, too,
but the ice cubes were too big.
Frances?
How the fuck are you alive?
Excuse me. My situation is urgent.
I will give you $100,000 for your place in line.
- Hey! Are you bothering her? - Uh…
Yeah, I'm talking to you, Count Dracula.
Hey, get in the back of the line, man.
Don't touch me!
Oh, it's all happening, huh? Here we go!
Aah!
Load those in the back!
Linda, you're gonna cover us.
Listen, man, the Feds are coming.
A big raid. You gotta get out of here.
Raid.
Why can't they just leave me alone?
I'm… I'm testing a mushroom on… on volunteers.
Listen, man, this is gonna get real, fast.
You need to get in your truck and get out of here.
No, no, I can't go. Not without…
Socrates.
Is this all real?
This is very fucking real!
The main guy, Marshall, is violent and dangerous.
He's not actually…
Justifiable force is authorized.
Now, this here's a brown trout.
You can find this up in the Chattahoochee,
- but not before… - I'm getting the M60.
We go down fighting.
…into late May if there's a fly hatch.
Whoa, whoa, Rusty! What are you doin'?
Choppers. It's a raid!
Go. Go!
Wait. Wait! That's the guy!
That's the guy. He just drove by!
- What? - That was Cuso!
Whoo-whee!
Bravo leader, this is Eagle 1.
Do you copy? Bronson? Harrington?
Where are you? Do you copy?
Harrington!
Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah, Rusty's comin', baby!
Harrington! You okay?
- Whoo-whee! - Rusty! Rusty! Rusty!
Oh, yeah!
Whoo!
Whoa.
Jesus. Oh.
Help! Somebody's hit!
Uh, hey, Frances, uh,
yeah, you kinda left sorta suddenly there?
I don't mind.
I want you to have your independence or whatever.
but just if you get a chance,
if you could just check in or something, wouldn't mind.
Okay!
Okay, uh, it's me, obviously,
so it's just I want our partnership to be…
Look, we have lunch with J.P. Morgan today,
and they want to see Frances of Flowers of Frances.
Like, they're paying for that.
Look, if you could just call me back.
Okay, this is bullshit,
Frances, alright?
I don't want to get lawyers involved,
but you've got me here with my nuts in my hand.
"Flowers of Rick" doesn't have the same ring to it.
So just call me? Please.
So just so you know,
this is not about money.
This about me being worried about you.
Okay? Call me.
Babe, let's get married.
Frances! W-W-Where are you?
- We've got J.P. Morgan here… - Rick, no, listen.
You are not gonna hear from me again.
Nothing we were doing felt good to me,
and maybe I'm going crazy,
but that's not how I'm going to live my life.
Goodbye forever.
Oh, and I'm keeping your car.
It's a tricky set of chemicals,
and we don't really understand all the effects.
Damn it.
Can't Rick catch a break one fucking time?
Is there any good news?
There is one thing.
In the lab, one of our scientists
accidentally tasted a derivative compound of the mushroom.
Try it.
Whoa. Wow.
That's like spicy and sweet at the same time?
It just… It gives your food a kick.
Like Cool Ranch Doritos, almost?
Yes, but with an almost minty…
Yeah, cool mint.
Hot and cold at the same time.
We got minty, we got spicy. Sharp.
Uh-huh, yeah, "sharp."
This… I'm seeing something.
Sparkl. A food additive.
No FDA at all.
You can sell people any damn thing to put in their food.
Nobody even cares.
Sparkl, a spray-on spice for your food
based on the ancient organic tradition of the mushroom.
We could go Latin with it, Asian.
We could do different versions.
And it could be something people really love.
Bring joy to their lives.
Plus, the shit we already eat?
We'll be shielded from liability,
a Caymans bank, South Dakota trust,
a shell company in some state where you can't even sue us?
Did anybody run sales projections?
As a matter of fact…
Let's fucking do this.
Whoa.
You look like shit.
Well, that raid's going into the clusterfuck hall of fame.
You know who got killed?
Rusty. Remember him?
Let us up on his roof?
He wasn't the smartest kid but he sure was brave.
I'll bet you five bucks you make it.
So you're a believer, huh?
You know how illegal they made this?
Just for having it, they'll send you to prison
for pretty much infinity.
Code blue, room 209.
Code blue.
I'm gonna take a little walk.
You good?
Aah!
Need a hand?
Yeah.
So, were we communicating in the Portal?
I don't know what was going on, but I got your message.
I needed to come find you.
You know that day I saw you on the street?
That might've been the worst thing that ever happened to me.
But it also…
it gave me more time with my mother.
It gave me purpose.
Look, Frances. I cannot do this alone.
I'm a mess.
I've almost died about six or seven times.
This world is so fucked up.
I mean, I knew it was fucked up, but…
Yeah, it's… it could use some healing.
I don't think this mushroom's done with us.
Maybe if we do everything right, we can heal the world.
Why don't we, um…
Let's start tomorrow.
