Sarah!
Sarah.
Uh-uh. I'll kill her.
You want her to end up like JJ?
What did the note say?
Where's the scytale?
We're coming for you, John B.
No!
John B, this way!
We got you caged, boy!
Hurry. Come on. Go.
Flashlight.
- Okay. - Go, go, go, go, go.
- Shit! - Stop!
We're on the same side, you idiots.
John B, there's a grate.
- Get it through. - I'm trying.
You got it.
We gotta go.
Sarah.
You good?
- Let's go. - Okay.
- Yeah. That's it, yeah. - Come on.
Let's get out of here.
We have to get back, tell the others. We have to tell Kie Groff's back.
- No. We have to get off the island, Sarah. - What do you mean? We have to tell them.
They found us at your mom's house, okay?
They're gonna find us anywhere we go.
We just have… we have to go. We have to get out of here.
Okay. Hold on. I have an idea.
What is that?
It's a note. It was in the scytale box.
It says, "You don't get everything, Ward,
even though you think you do." Signed "E."
I think my mom took the scytale.
Maybe your mom has the scytale in New Orleans.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
It's Groff.
Shit.
Can you go faster?
Yeah, I'm going. I'm going.
- John B! Car! - Shit!
- Was he hit? - I can't tell. I don't think so.
- You taking a look at that? - Yeah.
- A little. - Could be your ticket out of here.
- I gotta go. - Is everything okay?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I just… Uh, I will see you guys tonight.
Okay, I love you.
After college, I'll go to med school.
You know where there are really good med schools?
- Where? - The Caribbean.
And they're a lot cheaper. So I'm thinking maybe I go to Antigua.
Maybe you go back and work with Stubbs to keep me afloat.
And then once I become a doctor, I'll take care of you.
Hmm. Your own personal sugar mama while you go to school.
I'm in.
- Sheriff's office, how can I help you? - My friends are in trouble.
Chandler Groff is chasing them to the ferry at Point Landing.
Tell Shoupe!
I still don't see him.
Go right.
Slow down. Slow down!
- I think we lost him. - Yeah.
You okay?
Fine. I can't believe Groff's back. We got lucky.
Yeah.
Park behind that truck, right there.
This is the last one. Close it up.
John B, they closed the ferry. I think we're good.
- That was too close. We're pregnant. - I know.
Oh my God.
Groff!
Don't do it!
Get your hand off the gun! Right now!
Hands up.
Don't move a goddamn muscle.
Come on! Put your hands on the wall.
You're gonna wish you stayed in Morocco,
you murderous piece of shit.
Cast off five.
Where you going?
Cast it off.
- Where are y'all going? - Where you going?
We're going to New Orleans.
What? Why?
We'll call you.
Let Julio know. I'm on top of it.
Yeah. We're good to go.
- Rafe! There you are. - Hey.
The door was open. I was just checking in about tomorrow.
You gonna be there? Or are you gonna disappoint me?
Yeah, I'll be there.
Sign this thing, make a ton of money, and you move on. Okay?
And all this, uh, getting run off and hitting rock-bottom…
Come on, Rafe. That's gonna all be in the past.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Rafe?
Is that my stuff?
Take your shit already, all right?
They're getting new people in here. I'm sick of looking after it.
Hey, Rafe. I know you're having a… a really hard time.
Oh, you know it? You know it? Of course you do. All right?
- Because it's your fault. You did this. - Yeah, well, I thought I could help.
How?
It's worth a lot, right?
Take it. It's yours.
That thing's worth three years of your salary.
- Well, you could sell it. - I don't want it. I gave it to you.
I'm sorry, Rafe.
This is your family's. I don't want it.
You're forgetting your shit.
Come on. I got to get out of here.
Sofia.
Come on. Why are you crying? Hey.
Hey, come on.
- Don't cry. - I'm fine.
- Leave me alone, Rafe. - Hey, hey.
Why you crying, baby?
Come on.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
You held him overnight? You're gonna have to uncuff him.
- Can I talk to you for just a minute? - After you uncuff him.
- He's guilty. - Of what?
With all due respect, DA Carruth, you know of what.
- The murder of Hollis Robinson, for one. - Inconclusive on Hollis.
- According to who? - Judge Holden.
He wanted the case closed.
And if anyone was gonna be charged, it'd be Maybank.
Guns in his vehicle at the scene.
Okay. Oh… okay.
What about the John Doe in the dunes? Wes Genrette?
Where's the evidence?
Could be a minute.
Then we wait all day.
I'll wait another night if I have to. I wanna see it.
I gotta admit, it'd be nice to see that rude boy ruled out.
There's nothing I can charge him on, Vic.
There were some warrants in Portugal and Malta,
but wiped clean by the Finch Group Deal.
Well, that's convenient. I'm telling you, he killed JJ Maybank.
Look, I don't have time for this bullshit. No body, no crime.
- You got him? - Oh shit.
He's in there, right?
Kiara, listen. I tried, but… there's nothing I can do.
Oh.
Hi, Kiara.
It's a great day, isn't it?
- Where's he going? - He's getting away.
- Hey! - We got no charges.
What do you mean?
We got no body. No body, no crime.
We were there. You can't just let him go.
You cannot let him go, Shoupe! You know what he's done!
You gotta let him go, Kiara. Okay, step aside.
Are you crazy? He killed JJ!
He's a murderer. He killed his own son!
I'll be seeing you, Kiara.
As you know, we've had all our feelers out.
Got a call from a source in Kildare. Seems our friend Groff has, uh, appeared.
Chandler Groff?
Back from the dead?
Yeah.
Got himself arrested yesterday.
I'm sorry to hear that.
It wasn't for long.
But the accusation is that he got into it with some kids
over an artifact.
Could it be what I think it is?
What do you want me to do?
Just missed it. Next ferry's this afternoon.
You wanna buy a ticket?
No.
Thank you.
All right.
God!
Chandler Groff.
You betrayed us, Chandler. So now we need a favor.
Oh…
Yes. Of course.
Anything for an old friend.
…on an ancient cryptographic instrument called a scytale.
A cylinder wrapped with parchment so that letters written across it
could only be read when the strip was rewrapped around a matching rod.
The secret of the scrolls was passed down from emperor to son for generations.
It was one of the world's first—
What do you want, a boy or a girl?
Uh, a healthy baby.
- Cop-out. - No.
Gun to your head. You have to choose, boy or girl.
Well, I did just have a gun to my head, so I'm allowed to cop out on this one.
- I think you want a boy. - Huh.
Yes, I think you want a boy. A little surf buddy.
A little grom in the lineup.
I could also have a little girl in the lineup.
She'd be sick.
She would be sick.
Do you wanna know before?
I…
- I don't… I don't know. - I do.
Don't we find out with that little thing they put on your stomach?
- With the jelly and the… - Sonogram?
- Yeah. - They have a word for that.
Yeah, a sonogram.
Are you down?
To find out? Yeah.
I want whatever you want.
- See that? - What?
- Ninety-nine cent corn dog special. - No.
- Can you get me a corn dog? - I want ice cream.
Oh, it smells so good in here. There's hot dogs if you want.
- I don't know if I trust that. - Okay, chicken biscuits.
Have you ever had a "tres picosos taco beef bean burrito"?
- Yes. - I doubt it. This is Pogue food.
Ooh. Ice cream.
Two burritos, BOGO. And then, um, gas on pump number…
That thing is gushing like Old Faithful in Yellowstone.
Come on.
All right, next stop New Orleans, Piety Street Club.
Ready for 11 more hours of me asking, "Are we there yet?"
I've survived worse.
Ice cream and Doritos. You know who used to do that?
Huh?
JJ.
Well, look what happened to him.
- Okay. - Sorry. Bad joke. Just trying to deal.
I miss him too.
Every day.
You don't talk about it.
There's nothing to talk about.
Well, you must think about it.
I was thinking, if we get a little bit of money… I want to get a skiff.
JJ and I used to have a skiff when we were little.
I don't know. I just… thought it'd be fun to name it the Maybank.
Put a little rod holder in the back left.
Mm.
It's where he liked to fish.
That's sweet.
Shit.
Didn't we just fill up?
Yeah, I thought so.
Can you grab the bag of tools?
Yeah.
Gas line's leaking.
What do you need?
Screwdriver, flathead.
Here.
What the hell?
Looks like the line's been cut.
John B. John B, get up.
John B, get up right now.
Y'all having some car trouble?
Looks like a lot of car trouble to me, Roberto.
Giving us a lot of trouble too.
Sarah, when I tell you to run, run.
Julio sends his regards. Nice trick you pulled with the sheriff.
We don't want problems.
Your mama a tub of Crisco?
'Cause y'all some slippery little shits.
How you doing?
Sarah, run!
Get in the car! Stop running. I'll shoot.
Hey.
Are you all right? You okay?
- Back in the vehicle. - Hey, back off.
Just mind your business!
Stay down!
Like playing hard to get?
Are you done?
Hey. Leave her alone.
Don't be a hero.
Huh?
- I got you. - No, no.
Son of a bitch. Where you goin'?
I got you.
Hey!
You ain't going nowhere.
Robo! Rob—
Get off of me!
Sarah, get in. Come on!
Go! Go, go, go, go! Now!
- You're not hit, right? - No, I don't think so. I'm okay.
I am sorry. I am so sorry.
Do you see him? I don't see him.
We're good. We're good.
Okay.
Promise you're good?
This is all my fault.
I shouldn't have taken that frickin' bale of weed.
- Sarah, I am sorry. - I'm feeling it.
What?
You what?
I feel the baby.
Yeah, but… but that… that's…
That's our… that's our baby.
It's a baby.
You let the RV go, and now we got to fix the gas line.
Damn it.
Okay.
Next time, I'll just let you die.
You gonna give me a hand?
The Big Easy.
No.
Are we trespassing?
I think that I've paid for the house through tomorrow, so…
Technically… no.
Nothing says welcome home like crawling in through the window.
Well, it's only the best for my girlfriend.
Right?
Mm.
- I'm really sorry for what I did, Rafe. - Stop. Stop.
I'm sure I did more harm than you.
And besides, I think you're getting a… a pretty shit deal anyways.
Is that right?
What do you mean? What are you talking about?
When we met, I was like Mr. Hot Shot in a mansion.
- And now we are squatting. - I don't care.
You're living with a homeless person right now.
You're gonna get all of it back. I promise.
I don't know about that.
What if you just didn't show up?
Nah, Rose has leverage. It's pretty much a lose-lose.
You have leverage too.
Oh yeah? How's that?
Well, you know my dad's in construction,
so I hear those guys talking all the time.
Dale and them, they put in a lot of money.
And they pulled in Topper just to bring you in,
so Tannyhill must be pretty important.
Yeah, it's the most, uh… Best property on the island.
I know. They're out on a limb, Rafe. Just like you.
So you might have to sign, but they don't know what you'll do.
Yeah. Hell no, they don't…
So what if you just don't show up?
They might sweeten the pot, you know?
The cops are literally on his side.
Cops are always on the Kooks' side.
Every town, every country.
See you later, Pogues.
Teach me how to throw.
- All right. - What do I do?
All right. This distance, you gotta hold it by the handle. Follow…
- Down. Like… - I got it.
All right.
Well, you're not supposed to bring a knife to a gunfight anyway.
I thought you were done with guns.
Yeah, well, Groff's back on the island. Self-defense.
You got a point.
You gotta protect yourself.
Couldn't do it last time.
He's right here on the island.
So we're just hoping she's still at this address?
She must've been connected to it at some point.
If we find her, say hi, and then hit her up for the scytale.
That's easy for you to say.
Hey, Sarah. Look at this stash they have in the back. Holy shit.
This is like a full-blown assassin kit.
Yes, this is a murder box.
- Some rope. Zip ties. - Was this meant for me?
- This is freaking me out. - What about this? We could take this.
A Taser? Yeah. Perfect to meet my mom.
I think this is it.
Okay, Sarah. You ready?
She's probably not even here. Or what if she is here?
You okay?
Mm… Mm-mm. No, I actually feel like I'm gonna throw up.
- What's the worst that could happen? - A lot.
- A lot? Like? - Many things.
I don't know. That I realize that I am my mother,
and… and our kid is screwed, and it's…
You are not your mother. You're actually worse than your mother.
Because you're wanted in one, two, three… I think three countries now.
You've been shot. I'm just kidding, okay?
All right, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Okay. Listen to me.
It's gonna be okay. You've got this.
Can we just get this over with?
Okay. Let's do this. Hey, man. How much for the both of us?
Twenty each.
We're, uh, looking for a woman named Ellie.
The owner? Yeah, man. She's on stage right now.
No, no!
Let me see her, Ward.
Ellie!
I love you so much.
Ellie, let's go. That's enough.
I love you.
You agreed to leave. Get out!
It's so good to see you. Thank you for coming.
Thank you so much for coming. Thank you. Cheers.
- Great job. Yeah. - Thank you so much.
All right. If you liked it so much, buy me a drink.
All right. I'll buy myself a drink.
- And I'm feeling like buying you a drink. - Hey!
- Hey. - That's what I was waiting for.
You're too good to me. You deserve a raise.
Thanks, Ellie.
All right. I got two more. Who else wants one?
Can I interest you?
- No, thank you. - What can I get you?
Hi, Mom.
Excuse me?
Sarah?
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Oh my God!
Oh my God. My baby girl.
How are you here?
Uh, this is John B. And we needed to talk to you.
Okay.
I just can't believe you're here.
Um, I've got a place upstairs, so we can talk. It's a little quieter.
Do you have a minute? Can… Can you stay? Please tell me you can stay.
How about you… you guys take a… take a second and reconnect?
I'll just… I'll wait down here,
um, just so you can… …have a moment together. Huh? Um…
Tanner will get you a drink. Take care of this guy.
Whatever he wants, make it a double. It's just outside, around the corner.
- Right this way. - I… I will be… I will be right here.
What can I get you, man?
Thanks, Mike.
It's just over here.
Watch your step.
Welcome. Okay, have a seat.
Do you mind if I just look at you for a second?
Sure.
You are so grown and so beautiful.
Thanks.
I didn't think I would remember you.
But you do.
I have dreamt of this moment. I have dreamt of seeing you.
You didn't need to. You could have just come visit.
Any time in the past 16 years.
- Not really. - A phone call or, like, a text.
Birthdays or, like, holidays, or, um…
Any of us.
Yeah, with your father and I, it was, um, complicated.
You know Dad's dead?
- Yeah. - I did not know that.
Oh, thank God.
Excuse me?
Thank God?
You know he died saving my life?
So if you're gonna talk shit about him, please, by all means, go ahead.
I'd love to know what you have to say.
You don't know what your father did.
I know he died saving my life, and I know he didn't abandon me.
He kept you from your mother.
He kept us apart our entire lives. He did that too.
He used every weapon he had against me.
Yeah, he fought to see me, and you… didn't.
No, he fought to keep me away from you.
Oh no, please. Please. I am begging you.
Give me five minutes. I've waited 16 years for this moment.
Just, please, give me a few more minutes.
There's so much you don't understand. I want you to know.
You know when I met your father, he… he worked construction on the Cut.
It was a scandal in my world. A Kook and a Pogue.
But as soon as he moved to Figure 8, he changed.
He wanted to take revenge on his enemies
and became obsessed with money and
crazy treasure hunts and…
- Who are you? - I hate this!
Maybe if I had a wife that'd support me…
How do you think your father built this?
- By being a freaking Boy Scout? - Don't you bring my father into this.
You don't wanna know about that.
- Leave my father out of— - You don't wanna know about that.
I didn't want you kids around that.
I'm leaving. And I'm taking the kids.
What did you say? Wait. What did you say?
- I don't want them around you. - Ellie!
You will—
You will never take my kids from me.
And he, um…
He… he drugged me.
And he…
framed me.
All right, Wheezie.
Ready, Wheeze? You ready, Wheezie?
It's okay. Shh. Shh.
I just came home and I found my wife. She is passed out.
She's been using some kind of drugs. I don't know what.
My kids are all in the house. My baby was in her arms. And, uh…
These kids do not deserve this. So, I'm just trying to do what I can.
- Deputy, thanks. Come in. - Can you hear me?
The police were there. I was in handcuffs.
Dispatch, we're gonna need EMS, additional units.
He wouldn't let me go until I promised him that I would leave…
…take nothing with me, and never contact you kids again.
And I should have fought harder. I know that now.
It was the worst decision I ever made.
But I was young and stupid, and I was really scared.
I was so scared.
Of him.
I have regretted it my entire life.
And I would do anything
to make up for it now.
There is one thing.
John B and I came down here because we're looking for something
I think you might have.
You can make it up to me by giving it to us.
It, um… it looks like that.
Do you have it?
I sold it.
A long time ago.
I'm so sorry I don't have it.
Mm.
I wish I did.
I'll give you anything else you want.
The one time I needed anything from you.
Please. Please don't go.
No, I really need to get going.
By the way…
I'm pregnant.
That's wonderful.
I'm gonna show up for my kids.
She doesn't have it.
Okay.
After all these years, the one thing I needed from her, she'd hawked it,
like, years ago, apparently.
And then she spun this crazy story about Dad.
- I don't know who to believe. - I know. Sarah, Sarah, Sarah.
I was hoping you'd come back.
- Knock, knock. - Can I help you?
I think you can.
Your boy downstairs told us where to find you.
- Goddamn, this is a nice place. It's cozy. - Hmm.
Wow, Tevi, look at this spot, man. This is something else.
- Beautiful. - Look, there's exposed brick.
Three walls.
Oh yeah. I wouldn't do that if I were you. I don't think so.
What is this?
- What do you want? - We're looking for John B Routledge.
And Sarah Cameron.
You know them?
- I don't know 'em. - No?
I don't know about that.
I'm gonna ask you again.
Where are our two friends?
I really wish I could help you.
- You wish you could help? - Yeah.
You're gonna tell us sooner or later. So you might as well.
Not smart.
Why don't we have a little chitchat about where our friends are, huh?
I'm gonna ask you one more time.
- Hey! - Get away from her!
- There you are. - Stay back, Sarah.
I was just about to go looking for you.
- Try to crush me with a van? - Get off him!
You motherf—
Mom!
No! No!
Don't touch me. Get off of me!
Get off!
Hold it!
Let's go. Come on!
Whoa, look out!
Come on!
This way!
Over here.
Mom! Where are we going?
We can take my boat. It's down at the dock.
Here.
Take this.
Oh shit.
You had it the whole time?
I know who wants it. I thought it was too dangerous.
I was trying to protect you. Come on.
We got the scytale.
Watch your step.
- This your boat? - Yeah. Right there.
- You've got that one? - Yeah.
I have a friend across the river. We'll be safe there.
- You got it? - Yeah. Yeah.
- All right, I got the bow line. - Okay. Get in.
Whoa, look at us!
- We meet again, huh? - Easy.
- Stay down! - Take it easy. Take it easy.
- Get down! - Relax.
- On the ground, piece of shit. - Okay. Stop.
- Stupid kids. - Hey.
You deaf? You've been having fun?
Hey, hey, listen to me.
Look, whatever she did, just take me… just take me, all right?
- Mom. - Oh, don't worry. You're all invited.
Does she owe you money? Take this. It's worth a fortune.
- I don't want your rug! - Let her go. Just take it.
Shut the hell up!
Mom!
Stay down!
- Mom! - Stay down!
Now's your time to die. You got a prayer in you, boy?
Pray!
- I'm so sorry. - It's okay.
Sarah's pregnant. I am begging you. Please don't do this.
Well, that's just too bad, ain't it?
- I love you. - Bye, girls.
What just happened?
Holy shit.
Looks like we got here just in time.
You all right?
We were getting ready to buy this.
From her.
Seems you saved us a bit of trouble. Thanks for that.
Come on, then.
It's lovely.
Normally we wouldn't leave you out here like this.
But Finch seems to like you.
Enemy's enemy and all that.
All right, load it up. Back to the plane.
I don't feel very good.
Sarah, what's wrong? Sarah?
Oh my God. Sarah? Oh my God.
Sarah.
- What happened? - Sarah, wake up.
- Look at me. Hey. - Is she okay?
Is she all right?
Stay with me.
- Baby. - Sarah.
Sarah! Sarah!
