So, how are you faring in your, uh...

repaying the Side Step debts?

I-I knocked off, like, $400,

so, you know, only about infinity left to pay back Dad and Geri.

You'll get there.

* I can help ya *

* If you need somebody... *

So, what's with all the traffic lately, huh?

There's, like, trucks and trailers and, like,

- deliveries 24-7. - Yeah, well, you may recall

that your uncle went behind my back

and opened up this damn circus.

Oh, he's just the uncle now?

Yeah, and maybe we'd have some of this under control

if anybody had bothered to come to the family meeting that I called?

I've been saying that we don't have enough room

out here for all this, but...

apparently this and that is all being worked out

and I just shouldn't worry myself about it.

I'm being put out to damn pasture.

You know, I...

I might as well just take an Alaskan cruise

and drink myself to death.

* Yes, it would sure do me good *

* To do you good... *

August, could you give us a sec?

Yeah, yeah, got it.

- You have a nice day, honey. - You, too.

You know, I, um, I noticed that your usual

ranch morning routine has become more of an evening deal

as of late.

Just staying out of the heat.

It's been 70 degrees all week.

Any chance this has to do with Liam and Stella?

So, what are you, what are you saying? You're saying that I...

I changed my whole work schedule around

just to avoid my son and granddaughter? That's ridiculous.

I agree.

Yes, yes, I hear you, but you don't need to worry about it.

I got it under control.

That was an outlier, we took care of it in house.

Look, if you want to discuss this...

Okay. Glad to hear it. Yes, I...

Yeah, all right. Take care. Bye.

What?

I thought you were coming later.

Took an earlier flight. Wanted to surprise you.

Well, consider me surprised.

- Mm, hi. - Hey.

Um... you think you can cut class?

There's, um, something I wanted to run by you.

Oh.

Yeah, I guess I could finish at home. Is everything... ?

Relax, only good things, okay? Everything is fine.

Or it will be once I get some sushi in me.

That's the business. Let's do it.

- Hey, Kelly? - Yeah?

It's really good to see you.

You, too.

Now, food.

All right.

Oh, good morning, sleepyhead.

Late start, huh?

Sleeping in is one of the few perks of being fired.

But I do have plans outside the house today.

- Mm. - So, what's up?

I'm just worried about you.

- Cass, I... - I know, I know. You're fine.

But that word doesn't inspire confidence

when it's typically used to say the exact opposite.

I am fine.

Honestly, I'm-I'm fine.

I'm just trying to figure things out.

Well, have you spoken to Kevin?

You know, about job stuff?

Ah, I don't want to bother him with that stuff.

Especially since he just helped me celebrate getting this one.

Anyways, shouldn't you be off to HQ?

- There's no point in both of us getting fired. - No.

Just know that I am here for you.

We may no longer be coworkers, but we're still neighbors.

And I'd like to think pretty good friends.

Yeah, definitely both of those things.

Friends.

Hey.

- Hi. - Hey.

So, uh, have we solved Operation Trey yet?

No, not-not-not quite.

I'm-I'm gonna talk to James,

but last time things got a little heated, you know?

So I'm just gonna give it some space.

Let cooler heads prevail.

- I guess that makes sense. - Yeah, yeah.

So, is there any chance that there is...

something else you're not talking about?

What do you mean?

Hmm?

You did your Mr. & Mrs. Smith thing with Julia,

which... thanks for reading me in on that, by the way.

- Cass. - No, it's fine. I get it.

Just felt like you'd bought in.

But now Julia is working in D.C.,

so she hasn't been able to look into it.

And you haven't either,

and yet you're here fixating.

It's hard to shake off.

I mean, someone targeting m-my unit.

It's a big buy, right? And it doesn't exactly fit the M.O.

of an anarchist organization.

Grey Flag didn't come after me

until after I investigated Fenton.

But these deaths happened before any of that.

Yes.

And yet you're still thinking about what Tommy said.

When he said it, I guess I was just hoping for an easy answer.

But now the adrenaline has worn off and I'm not so sure.

- You think he's crazy? - I don't know.

Part of me thinks that Tommy's probably been going downhill

for a while, and then these deaths,

and then I'm on the news getting kidnapped and...

The story made sense to him, but it doesn't to you.

No.

Okay, look,

you have the Intel right in front of you.

So if you are so sure that Tommy is wrong and that you're right,

there's no harm in proving that.

That would also mean that there's no one out there

with a vendetta against you.

So why don't we prove Tommy wrong once and for all?

Get you some closure.

Thanks so much. All right.

Hell of a shot on 17, man.

I knew I liked you. I'll get it.

Man, it's been a minute, but, hey,

I'm glad to know that I still got it.

Yeah. You know, I've always admired

the time you put in down there at the V.A.

It's been really nice getting to know you better

- through all that. - Yeah, likewise, man.

I mean, it's important for us to give back

and uplift our community.

Couldn't agree more.

Now, that Ranger job

has a lot of red tape involved,

and some of that keeps you from doing real work.

The fact that they let you go

over some small infractions? Ridiculous.

Yeah, it's, it's okay. I'm doing okay with it.

I'm just figuring out what's next.

And I'd love to help you with that.

On my side of things there is no red tape.

What matters is results.

Not everybody can apply

what we learn on deployment back home like you.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

So, look,

the lobbying group I work with...

we're in the market for a consultant.

Some security stuff, but it's hardly a rent-a-cop gig.

I'm talking brushing shoulders with celebrities

and senators alike all for veterans' causes.

I'm-I'm flattered, Andrew. Really, I am.

But, you know, I've been going nonstop for years now

and I'm just enjoying taking this beat for myself

right now, so...

I'm hoping we can change your mind.

All right, what exactly are we talking?

We lobby for veteran support.

Too many of our guys and gals go put it all on the line

to come back to nothing.

It's unacceptable.

You've got my attention.

And things aren't always as they seem in D.C.

Things can get hairy.

- So, is this the gig? - Sort of.

I'm ready to get you signing on the dotted line.

But with everything going on,

not everybody shares the same enthusiasm

after what happened with your Ranger gig.

Just look at this as insurance.

An entrance exam, even.

Just think about it. Look that over.

It's plans for an upcoming gala.

In all of it, something doesn't add up.

You figure it out, you give me a call.

All right. Will do.

Thanks, Andrew.

- Enjoy. - Bon appétit.

- Merci. - Yeah.

So, Charlie and Bravo?

Uh, Sam Turner and Robert Ortiz.

Right.

Both died within months of each other in different states.

You know, I feel like I'm-I'm reading tea leaves.

You know, like, grasping for a connection that isn't there.

Uh, hi. Queen of the tea leaves here.

- Okay, well, that's different. - Well, not really.

When Miles disappeared, everybody thought I was insane,

but eventually it paid off.

Yeah.

But there's something else.

Digging into the past like this,

these connections between my unit...

it-it just, you know, leads to a lot of pain.

But sometimes it leads to answers you desperately need.

Yeah.

Yeah. All right, let's do it, um...

Sam Turner.

Car accident six months ago, died in Lincoln, Nebraska.

- Yeah. - Apparently,

the witness said that there were two vehicles

with three people.

Turner was in one, two guys in the other.

But one of them walked away from the scene.

Okay, hold on, hold on.

Okay, the other witness and the officers report

two people on the scene.

Both deceased.

Uh, no mention of a third person who survived.

Weird, but we get conflicting statements all the time.

Right.

Uh, okay, apparently,

Turner was driving ahead of the other vehicle

when the witness heard the second car blaring his horn,

which spooked Turner...

What?

No, that, that can't be right.

- Why? - It doesn't make sense.

Come on, you can't be serious.

I'm just saying, the only thing bigger in Texas is the hype.

We've got enemy engagement on route Indy.

Hey, let's stay frosty, gentlemen.

I know Tommy's got to have an opinion on this one.

- I ain't touching that. - Typical.

Yeah, your little orange and white striped burgers...

Looks like you've seen a ghost.

Good to see you're okay, Turner.

Thought we'd lost you.

- So, what'd they say? - Huh?

What did the doc say?!

Damn ears are still ringing.

Hearing's shot.

Doc says there's good news and bad news.

Bad news is that

whatever hearing damage I have now is permanent.

It's just gonna keep getting worse

until it's gone completely.

The hell is the good news then?

20 years time...

it'll be crickets,

and I won't have to listen to a damn thing

any of you have to say again.

I'll finally be at peace.

Uh, Walker, care to share with the class?

Uh, yeah.

Uh, the report says that Turner swerved after hearing the guy

blaring his horn, but he wouldn't have.

Or maybe couldn't have.

And why not?

Turner was deaf.

At the very least, headed that way fast.

Uh, just saying, it doesn't add up, you know?

But, you know, reports have inconsistencies,

and witnesses aren't always reliable...

And sometimes an accident isn't really an accident at all.

No.

So one of these two deaths feels Sus.

And then Robert Ortiz, a heart attack.

I mean, heart attack is-is

one of the leading causes of death every year.

- Right? - Right.

Well, we may not have access

to his full medical history...

but his widow moved back here

after he passed to be closer to her family.

Laura.

Uh, yeah.

- Laura Ortiz. - Yeah.

Cass,

if Tommy is wrong,

then we would just be stirring up her grief

for no reason.

And again, I raise you.

If Tommy was right,

then there is someone hunting down your old unit.

And there are only two of you left.

- I saw that. - It was fair game.

- Eh... - Mm.

If you say so.

So... thank you.

Earlier...

Yes, oh, yes, earlier,

- you said you had something to tell me. - Mm-hmm.

A good thing, not a worrying thing.

Not that I'm worried at all.

I got a call the other day

from our agency's emerging talent division.

They had a very interesting offer.

Yeah?

They've asked me to head a satellite venture

they're starting.

I would be scouting and tracking upcoming talent

at the collegiate or even high school level.

- Kelly... - I know.

... let's go.

That is huge. When would it start?

- Where would it be? What's the deal? - Soon.

Yeah, and... I would be based out of Austin.

Full-time.

No more living out of suitcases,

no more stolen weekends.

I'd be coming home.

- You'd be coming home. - Mm-hmm.

What do you... ?

What do you want to do?

I know what I want to do.

It's what you want to do that I'm interested in.

No, no, look, I'm sorry.

It's just, it's a lot to process.

Um, you know, things at work are, like...

Not that it's about that. I'm not making it about that.

- 'Cause it's not about that. - Okay.

It's just, this is a lot to take in, you know?

Look, you don't have to decide right now.

I know I just sprung this on you.

So think it over,

and whatever happens next is up to both of us.

Okay?

That was totally fair game.

One last thing to knock off our endless list.

And I have another one.

I told them what we were going for,

and this is what they came back with.

Mm. Oh, wow.

You know what? That's actually better than I imagined.

I know, right?

And we can give them some feedback

if something isn't feeling right.

Hey, thank you for running point on this.

- Partner. - No, I had fun.

But seriously, let's do this photo shoot.

Let's do it.

This is gonna look so cute.

I didn't know y'all were out here.

Yeah, we're taking pictures for the website.

Oh, um,

that's a doodle a marketing guy turned into a logo.

This one not shiny enough for you?

Well, we just thought that we could, you know...

Yeah, I'll see you back at the house, Abby.

So he's still mad?

Well, "mad" is putting it a little simply, honey.

But, um...

Uh, he's still something. I'll get into it.

Let's do this.

It looks great.

Got to admit, Cordell. This is quite a surprise.

Yeah. Yeah, no, I-I know,

um, it's been a long time.

Since the medal ceremony?

Yeah.

Never seen so many solemn faces getting rewarded.

But what happened to you boys after...

Well.

So, what can I help you with?

- Is this Ranger business or... - No, no. No, no, no.

Strictly personal.

Um...

I-I'm really sorry that we fell out of touch.

I heard about Rob,

and I wanted to see you.

Express my condolences and...

... just see what I missed.

That last year he got a new job.

We had another kid on the way,

and Rob just wanted to bring in some more money.

We were good.

Had a lovely church community

and he'd even gotten rid of his only vice... Coffee.

We were doing so well.

But then his PTSD was set off.

Uh, what triggered it?

He couldn't sleep.

And when he did, nightmares.

He started changing,

drinking,

doing drugs with his new coworkers.

Rob was straitlaced since birth.

And then he was different.

Not the man I had known for 20 years.

That day, he left the house in a tizzy.

Hours later, I get the phone call.

Heart attack.

Had something to do with the drugs.

He was so young and healthy.

I'm so sorry.

All right. Y'all know the drill.

We're gonna be doing a tactical sight exploration.

Gonna be heading out at 0400 hours.

Now, I got complete faith in every one of y'all

to see this thing through.

- Hoorah? - Hoorah.

- Hoorah! - Hoorah!

Let's go, boys! Let's go!

- Let's go! Let's go! - Walker.

- Need your help. - Yes!

Of course, Sergeant.

What the hell is your deal, Ortiz?

Just trying to keep the team up.

Well, you ain't a damn cheerleader, are you?

Where are they?

- I want to be ready for anything. - The only thing you're about

to be ready for with this is a casket.

You don't get this under control,

and I will run it up the chain of command.

Those boys will have you home with a dishonorable discharge

faster than you can blink.

Is that clear?

Yes, Sergeant.

Hey.

- What's going on, man? - I'm-I'm trying, man.

I just don't know how to get through all this.

- Do you trust me? - With my life.

Then believe me when I say you've got this.

All right? And we've got you.

No one does this alone.

All right?

Is there something that I should know?

Uh? No, no. Um...

Rob was a good man. He is a great man.

The best of us.

We all did what we had to do to survive over there.

And we all had vices.

You know? I did.

Rob did, and...

I saw him

start to change,

and...

And then-and then he worked so hard to get better,

and to spare you that struggle.

You come in here after all this time?

You know, whatever issues Robert had,

they all stem from his time in that hellhole.

If it weren't, why would some

military contractor work suddenly set him off?

I'm sorry, did you say contractor?

Do you have a-a name?

I think it's time you leave.

- I'm sorry? - Leave.

Please.

Uh, of course.

Um...

I knew this was a bad idea.

All we did was drudge up the past

and bring all that grief back to her.

And I feel terrible about it,

- but if Ortiz was set up... - No, no, no, stop, stop.

Stop, please.

You know, what happened to us over there... that was ugly.

And then the guilt that came after...

the regret... that was... that was ugly, too.

And you come home

and you're rewarded for surviving

when your brother didn't.

Dealing with that...

... that time in my life...

I try to avoid it, uh, because it hurts, you know?

And now,

finding this out about them...

I just need a sec. Can you just give me sec?

Yeah, yeah. Of course.

Come on, man.

What is it?

Is Walker... I texted him earlier

- and he's leaving me hanging. - Oh.

We're in one of those phases where the line between

former partner and current boss is getting a little fuzzy.

Y'all have been driving each other nuts

since you were at the same level.

It's what family does.

You should talk to him about it.

- I really think he would hear it. - You think so?

- Mm-hmm. - Like, right after Carolina wins the Super Bowl?

Was that an up-to-date football reference, Captain?

- I can hang, baby. - Okay. Mm-hmm.

Maybe also want to talk to me about what happened with Trey?

- It's-it's nothing to... - Larry...

I am pretty observant.

I may have also been on the receiving end of a few

- fiery Cordi texts. Just... - Look, we just...

we-we reached a boiling point.

- DPS got involved... - O-Okay.

You don't have to explain yourself to me.

I know that if you fired Trey...

the man that saved your life and gave us this chance...

it was for good reason.

Okay? I trust you.

Wow.

You...

That trust means a lot.

Walker and Perez have been up in arms.

And everyone, really, it's like...

Hey.

I am not everyone.

No, you are not.

Kel, I don't know...

I don't know if I'm still good at this.

- You know? - We are doing this right now.

No, but you know what I mean.

Like, the obsession, the worrying,

the not letting you in...

It's not...

You have changed more than you give yourself credit for.

I don't need your Ranger schedule

or a blow-by-blow of your day.

It's about this. Us. Together.

The both of us just sitting here doing our own things?

It's perfect.

Okay?

Okay.

- Okay. - Okay.

You're gonna tell me

that I should go talk to them, and all I got to say to that

is maybe they should have thought about coming

to talk to me.

Well, I'd love to actually have the conversation

I came in here to have with you,

but I'd feel a little bit better if you took a breath.

And put the cleaver down.

I just don't want you to have any regrets.

Everybody's got some.

But not like this.

You know, we just have gone through it lately,

after my...

I mean, I sh...

I shouldn't have waited so long

to try to patch things up with my brother.

This ain't anything like that.

Oh, really?

Nothing about a misunderstanding

driving two people apart for so long

that they lose track of what they were fighting about

- in the first place? - I haven't lost track of anything,

not this time.

Bon, I see that you are going through something.

- I do. - Abeline, I ju...

And you know you hold things close to your chest

for far too long.

And you're right.

I-I came in here to say that I agree with you,

I've got your back...

... and I get it.

I'm on your side.

But also, I think you... you do need to talk to them.

Of course they should have tried to talk to you first,

but I think this is one of those moments where

we still need to do the teaching.

Lead by example.

And bask in your superiority.

I see it.

Andrew Hyde's office.

- To whom am I speaking? - Hi, this is Trey Barnett.

Mr. Barnett.

I was told to expect a call from you.

Yeah, is Andrew around?

I solved the puzzle.

The... test.

Whatever.

Andrew is out of office,

but I'm happy to consider your results.

Okay.

All right. So, Andrew had me looking over, uh

an event at the Crosby Amphitheater in Cinci.

And what did you find?

Okay, so, the Crosby was connected

by a tunnel to an old financial center.

It was closed off in the '90s,

but the buildings are still connected to each other

and they share a backup generator.

We would need to account for that

and clear the surrounding facilities.

Someone will be in touch shortly

to get you started on the next steps of the hiring process.

I'm sure Andrew will personally reach out when he returns.

- Just like that? - Just like that.

- Talk soon. - Thank you.

Yeah!

Cass, listen, about earlier, back...

You don't have to...

I-I know, I know. But I want to.

Um...

Seeing Laura, everything came flooding back,

and-and kind of had me spinning.

I'm sorry.

But I-I know I need to focus.

And I am, um,

ready to focus.

So, we're doing this?

- We're doing this. - Okay.

So she mentioned that Rob had taken a contractor gig.

Which feels like

he could have been working for Grey Flag when he died.

Yeah, could have, but we can't be sure.

But Turner's accident reports

and Ortiz's timely relapse...

- The math ain't mathin'. - No.

Did Tommy say anything else?

No, uh, he-he didn't have a chance to.

We were all kind of stunned in the moment.

So, what do you want to do?

I'm gonna stop wasting time.

What does that mean?

It means that if Tommy was right about that,

he could be right about everything.

We're sorry, the number you are trying to reach

is not in service at this time.

Okay, well, you did say that the dude lives off the grid.

So, maybe he's just recycling burner phones.

Or maybe something is keeping him offline.

Thought you said this guy had crazy security.

- Yeah. - Shouldn't he be...

Damn it.

Oh, this doesn't look good.

Yeah.

Tommy!

Tommy. No, no, no, no, no.

Hey, hey, hey.

Another one bites the dust.

No, no.

Hey, stay with me. Stay.

- Stay with me. - You c...

- you came back. - Yeah, I came back.

- You're here. - I'm here, yeah, I'm here.

You were right, okay? You were right.

I should have listened to you.

There's no cell service.

Hey, hang in there, okay?

No.

No use. This is it for me.

Walker, whoever did this was just here.

They've got to be close.

Go, go, go.

I'm here, brother. I'm right here, okay?

I'm not going anywhere.

Texas Rangers. Pull over!

Pull over!

Oh, no, no, no.

Oh, damn it.

Hey.

Hey.

Is he, uh...

- No. - God, I-I'm so sorry, Walker.

Yeah. Yeah, me, too. Um...

so, what happened here? You okay?

Yeah, I, uh... He was trying to run me off the road.

But, uh,

- yeah, I'm-I'm okay. - Okay, good.

Well, I'm glad you're all right. Uh...

Do you recognize him at all?

No, no. I've never seen him in my life.

Everyone I saw in captivity got scooped up.

That is not the answer

I was hoping for.

Hey.

Thought it was hot tub time.

- Hey. - Mm-hmm?

Sorry, I was... I'm-I'm...

* The system is efficient, yes *

* It's been in place so long... *

You know I already have one, right?

- And I know the digital lock code. - You're killing me.

You're killing me right now.

Sorry, I'm-I'm sorry.

- It's cute when you're nervous. - Like, it's just, it's a symbol.

Okay? Whatever. Can I-can I, may I, please?

Yes.

Look, we're...

We're finally at a point in our lives

where we can put ourselves first.

- Right? - Mm-hmm.

We're set in our careers,

- our son is grown... - Mm, thinks he's grown.

Okay, he's technically grown.

Okay.

You moving back to Austin.

There's no way I'm passing that up.

Baby, I'm ready...

I'm ready for this, for us, for...

everything.

If that's want you want.

* Mopping up the floors *

* Trying *

* Trying to come clean *

* Darling... *

Maybe we can find a place that's ours.

Not that your quarter-life crisis rental isn't

kind of impressive, but...

I think I'd be okay with that.

DJ wants a room anyway.

- Mm. - And he's hoping for a place with a proper pool.

- Oh, DJ's got pool money now? - That's what he said.

- Is that-is that how it is? - I...

I'm just the messenger.

When you boys were little,

I used to think about y'all taking over.

It took a while, but...

... I did come to accept that you and Cordell, you just...

you just didn't have that-that green thumb,

so to speak.

And if I was to be the last

generation of true Walker ranchers,

then to hell with it, so be it.

All I cared about was that my sons were... were happy.

And we appreciated that.

So much.

But then my son, who won

the school-wide spelling bee in the second grade

and knew what a tort was that very same year,

suddenly found an interest.

Started to think about this place less as Walker Ranch

and more like Walker and Sons ranch.

Daddy...

But then you...

You went and you did all this.

On your own.

And I still don't know how it's all gonna shake out, but...

I'm man enough to admit...

... that it hurt.

Wiped away a vision that, that I'd become so fond of.

Dad, I...

Dad, it was never my intention to hurt you.

I mean, I was trying to leave my mark

and I overstepped,

and I know that now.

But this was as much for me as it was for us.

And I was hoping that it could be ours.

You know, like a family thing.

This again.

Well, this...

this is based off Granddad's signature.

And the horseshoes were Stella's idea.

One for our past,

our present and our future, our...

our evolving family and business.

Well, hell, William, when you put it like that...

Dad.

I would really love for you to be a part of this.

Daddy's signature was damn chicken scratch.

That ain't it.

It's an artist interpretation.

Yeah, well, that ain't it.

This guy was definitely Grey Flag.

Yeah, I'd say this about confirms that.

Yeah. I mean, going after vets in broad daylight...

that feels like a major escalation.

Well, I mean, an anarchist group

would definitely take issue with the military,

but specifically my unit?

That's-that's different, Cass. That's personal.

Well, so, what are you saying?

Are we looking at some sort of Grey Flag splinter cell?

No. I don't know. Maybe.

But...

The way they left Tommy on display...

they're kicking it into a higher gear.

Like they wanted someone to find him.

You know? They wanted someone to know

it was them.

Someone, or...

And they know a whole lot about you.

- Stuff that isn't necessarily common knowledge. - Yeah.

And they're in with Grey Flag.

I mean, Turner, Ortiz, now Tommy,

all gone.

Based on that theory, then, Walker...

... you're next.

I think it's time we read in James.

Sure you weren't followed?

Yeah, I took the long way

I made contact.

I think I have my in.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay. Good. Mission is a go.

Okay.

Hey, be careful, man.

It's good to see you, Cap.

You, too, Barnett.
