Previously on Big Sky...
Ah! Ah!
It's time to say goodbye.
Tonya.
No serenade this time?
Donno?! No, no, no, no, no! No, no.
No. Help!
Is Emily with you?
No, I-I was calling to see
if she was still at the office.
Something's not right.
Where is my daughter?
- What is it? - Buck has them.
Girls, it's time to ditch this ride
and get back in the groove.
Whoa.
Uh, hold on. I'll...
I'm gonna call for help. It's gonna be okay.
Ha!
*CREDITS*
- We gotta find Buck. - We're on it.
...baby.
No, I need to get through.
- Beau? - Ma'am, please.
- You can't go in there. - Oh, no.
- I'm not leaving. - Hey. Hey, hey, hey.
- I'm staying right here. - It's okay.
- Oh, my God. - Okay.
What's happening?
I'm sorry.
Hey. Hey.
You need to know that Avery was doing everything he could
to fix this mistake of his, okay?
He was trying to save Emily.
Where is she now?
Beau?
We think that Buck Barnes has her.
Oh. Oh, my God.
Hey, listen to me,
I'm gonna find her.
I'm gonna bring her back, I promise you.
Okay, thanks.
Hey, got something.
- Give me one minute, okay? - Okay.
State just called. Buck was spotted north of here.
He killed someone and stole their truck.
- My daughter? - The surveillance footage
suggests that he's still got Emily and Denise.
Beau, I think they're still alive.
Okay. I'm gonna call Cass.
I want her on this with us. Let's move.
Did the cops see you come in?
Come on, now, you didn't raise a fool.
Thought you didn't want to see me anymore.
That was before I knew Buck was alive.
Where is he?
Why do you want to know?
'Cause he hurt Paige.
And he likes to cut out women's hearts.
I'm sick over what he's done.
There is one way to fix that.
I got a plan.
I'm gonna set everything right.
Hey. I got here as quickly as I could. Hey.
Are you sure it's Buck?
Take a look.
Buck was casing the lot for a car to steal.
We're guessing this unlucky guy
must have heard Denise and Emily.
And they're still alive.
Hang on.
Hey. Take a look.
Look at this.
What is that?
There... he dropped something.
Keys it looks like.
Must be important.
Let's get the lab to enhance this.
Maybe Cormac knows what it is.
- That's a good idea, Cass. - Let's hit this from every angle.
Meanwhile, we need to talk to Sunny again.
Hey. We're gonna get them back.
You cops keep hanging out,
I'm gonna have to start chargin' you rent.
I have instructions to hold you here until Sheriff Beau arrives.
So that's why I can't leave my house?
Just following orders, ma'am.
Sheriff's on his way.
It's just... It's the... It's the one...
It's the one thing that we're supposed to do
is protect our kids.
The one thing.
Hey, you couldn't have done anything differently.
She's gotta be so scared, Jenny.
She's gotta be terrified.
And every minute we waste chasing our tails
gives that twisted son of a bitch
a chance to do something to her.
Look, I still believe he's keeping her alive for leverage.
Well, I hope you're right 'cause there's nothing stopping him
from making an example out of one of them.
Alright, we need to talk to Sunny.
She knows him better than anyone.
Okay. Okay. Let's go get her.
Let's go talk to Sunny.
Okay.
Come on.
Yeah.
Ohh.
What the hell?
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
Ms. Barnes?
Oh, boy.
All units, this is Deputy Poppernak.
Sunny Barnes is on the move.
He dropped this.
You ever seen it before?
Yeah. Yeah, not in a long time.
Can you tell me about it?
It's just an old keychain
made out of some type of bone, if I remember.
What'd he use the keys for?
Uh, the gate to the easement land that we hunted on.
If we drove up there, do you think you'd be able
to find the gate again?
I'd recognize the gate if I saw it,
and the cabin we slept in, if it's still standing.
Something tells me it is.
Get out of the car!
Right now!
Uh-huh, yeah.
Where you headed? You helping Buck?
I was runnin' some errands.
- Where is Buck?! - Arlen...
Where did he take my daughter?
Buck has Emily?
You better tell me right now, Sunny, or I swear to you...
- Arlen... - I don't have a clue what you're talkin' about.
- You don't have a clue? - Beau.
- No. - Of course you don't.
Stand down.
You need to keep it together. You know we need her.
Emily is out there, okay?
- I know. - And I need to find her.
We will. I promise you we will.
We just gotta do it the right way.
Turn it off, please.
That's who your husband is.
Sunny, we found Buck's bunker.
He is the Bleeding Heart Killer.
I know.
You know.
Okay.
Alright, well, either you tell us what he told you,
or we arrest you for helping a killer.
He told me he loved me,
and no matter what happens, he always will.
Then he asked me for help.
Help with what?
Escaping.
So you were gonna help him escape?
I didn't say that.
What about Denise and Emily?
He didn't say anything about them?
He did not. And if he had,
that woulda been another conversation.
- You were on your way to help him. - Not exactly.
I was gonna talk him into turning himself in.
So what was the gun for?
In case he didn't wanna listen.
Well, you listen to me...
you're gonna help me get my daughter back.
Of course.
You girls behavin' yourselves back here?
Ah!
My father's gonna find you.
You want water or not?
And when he does,
he's gonna kill you.
Buck...
Buck, she's just a child.
You need to let her go.
Open your mouth.
Come on.
No, no!
Ohh!
Aah! I should've checked his pockets.
I'm gettin' a little rusty.
Ohh. Aah.
Now...
...next time, it's gonna be gasoline and a lighter.
Now, both of you shut up.
Shh, shh, shh.
Do you trust her? 'Cause I don't.
We have no choice.
It's the risk we have to take.
Sunny's our best shot at finding your daughter.
We got an incoming call. No caller ID.
Could be our guy.
Okay, everybody, here we go.
Okay, Sunny, stick to the plan.
Got it.
_
Buck...
You didn't call.
I needed a little more time.
Well, you're either in or you're out, Sunny.
This is ride or die time, alright?
Ride or die.
So this is what it's come to?
Hm?
Buck... Buck, I think, um,
this is the end of the road for us.
End of the road? What the hell does that mean?
Well, you hadn't been honest with me in a long time.
Heck, probably never.
I told you we could work this out,
but not over the phone.
Yeah, well, why don't we start with
those women you grabbed?
Women?
I see the cops got to you, didn't they?
Alright, that's enough.
Where are they, Buck?
Hello, Sheriff.
You listen to me, you son of a bitch,
if you have any love left for your wife whatsoever,
you're gonna tell me where my daughter is,
or I will personally bring the full weight of the law
down on her head.
She has nothin' to do with this,
and you know that.
That doesn't matter!
'Cause I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get her back.
Well, I'll tell you what you're gonna do.
You're gonna let Sunny go, for starters.
And if you don't, I'm gonna start hurtin'.
You hear that? I'm gonna start hurtin'.
Emily, Denise... doesn't make any difference to me.
Hell, I'm a sport. I'll flip a damn coin.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
That's... That doesn't work that way.
You're not the one calling the shots here, partner.
Now, I'll tell you how it's gonna go down,
and listen up carefully.
Any of this look familiar?
No, nothing.
I wasn't paying attention, and I missed everything.
All the signs.
There's nothing you could have done about it back then.
You're here now, and you're helping me find this place.
Yeah. It'd be a good place to hide Denise and Emily.
How far until the next gate?
Two miles, straight ahead.
Hopefully, Jenny and Beau have made progress with your mom.
Yeah, I wouldn't pin too many hopes on that.
You think she knew?
I don't know.
But they shouldn't trust her.
Well, I don't like this.
He's got us in here, big open space.
Can't get backup or snipers in without him seeing it.
What's his play?
I'm bettin' he thinks he's got all the cards.
Maybe, but we got one thing he wants.
Yeah, well, she's a wild card at best.
There's no way helping us is all she wants out of this.
Yeah, I'm not buying it either.
Okay. Alright, well, eyes open.
Stay alert.
Oh. Here we go.
Wait, where's the trailer?
They're not even here.
Where are they, Buck?
Oh, they're safe...
for now.
Buck.
I thought we had a deal.
Well, we'll get to that as soon as you let Sunny go.
First, tell us where Emily and Denise are.
After I talk to my wife.
And why would I let you do that?
Why?
'Cause I've got nothin' to lose, Sheriff.
I shoot myself, you'll never find 'em.
No.
Now... I want to see my wife.
Alright. I'll let you see your wife.
But you need to tell me where you put my daughter.
Well, I guess we got a little
chicken and egg problem here, Sheriff.
Hell, why don't you just take me out,
if that's what you want to do?!
He's not gonna budge.
- Go on. - Just give him Sunny.
Give it your best shot!
But you'll never find them.
Alright.
Don't try anything funny, okay?
Just stick to the plan.
We need the location of the girls.
That's our number one priority.
I'll bring them back safe and sound.
Okay, Buck, we're gonna let you talk to your wife
as a sign of good faith, but don't do anything stupid.
Nobody needs to get hurt.
Okay.
You okay, Sunny?
Okay?
I'm a long way from okay.
You need to end this right now. Do the right thing.
I've been trying to do that all my life.
Alright, time's up, Buck.
Where are they?
Come here.
This is how this is gonna go.
I'm gonna leave here with Sunny.
When we get far enough out,
I'm gonna give you a call and tell you where they are.
No!
No. No.
Now, be smart about this, son.
- No! - What other choice do you have?
That's what I thought.
Come on.
I'll be in touch, Sheriff.
Let's go.
This is the gate.
Okay.
"BB."
Buck Barnes.
His lock's in the front.
Means he was the last to go through. What now?
We hike in.
Don't need them trackin' us.
What else they put on you?
Come on, Sunny.
Okay. Well, you won't mind if I search you then.
- Find out. - Stop it!
Come here.
Stop it before you kill both of us.
It's in my jacket.
That's what I thought.
Here.
I was scared, Buck. I'm scared of you.
There's no need to be scared.
I did everything you asked.
I'd never hurt you. I love you, Sunny.
So where are we going?
Talk to me, Buck. What's this all about?
And I want the truth.
You're my world, Sunny.
You saved me once before, and I thought if I could see you
one more time, just once, we could...
We could what?
We could, you know, be us again.
There's not gonna be any you or me or us
or the life we had.
You brought all this mess down on the both of us.
We start over, okay?
We leave town, we find a new spot.
We can't run from this. And they told me what you did.
Well I got a little crossed up is all.
Listen to me.
Do you think you could ever forgive me?
If you do the right thing and give those women back,
I'll consider it.
You gotta let those girls go.
Well, I'm afraid it's not that simple, Sunny.
Okay, I'm done. Pull over.
Pull over right here.
- I want out. - What?
- I want out, now! - Alright, hold on a second.
- Out of this truck. - Hold on a second. Listen to me.
- Pull it over now! - Alright. Hold on.
- I'm serious! - Alright, you win.
Call them. Call 'em.
Talk to me.
Buck's ready to talk.
Go on.
You ready for the coordinates?
I want response teams ready.
I want SWAT, K-9, search and rescue.
Already on it. What about Buck?
As long as Sunny sticks to the plan,
we can deal with Buck later.
This is about getting the girls back alive.
Getting close.
Alright, I made the call.
Throw your phone out the window.
I need you, Sunny.
This world doesn't mean anything without you in it.
Doesn't make any sense.
You remember our spot where you asked me to marry you?
Of course. Why?
I want to go there.
We don't have time to stop. They're gonna be after us.
How do you know I don't have a plan?
You mind tellin' me what it is?
One thing at a time.
Okay, Sunny Barnes.
Okay.
Arriving at the coordinates now.
We're approaching the southeast side.
We need an ETA on the rest of the units.
Got the southwest corner covered.
I've got a visual on the trailer.
Can't wait. Let's go.
Watch my left.
Emily!
Hey, what's that?
Do you hear that?
Beau, wait!
Emily?
Denise?
They're not here.
Damn it.
But my dad was.
And not that long ago.
Okay.
One of the deputies hit a trip beam that blew the trailer.
It was just one body.
Techs think it was the guy that Buck killed outside the bar.
Well, that means that Buck still
has the girls stashed somewhere.
I bet you they're still alive.
He's about wasting time.
Yeah, Pop, go.
Hey, boss, we found Buck's rig two clicks north
from where they ditched the tracker.
Did they switch cars?
I don't think so.
Looks like they're on foot, headed up a remote trail.
Okay, nice work, Pop. Stay put.
We're headed to you.
Where the hell are they going?
One way to find out.
Well, we're here.
Now what?
You remember that promise you made me?
I do.
Well, you broke it.
Everything we had is broken.
I gave you everything, and I thought I knew
what kind of a man you were, but I was wrong.
You're no man at all.
Now, come on, Sunny.
And I think deep down inside, I knew that.
So we were both lyin'.
But that's gonna stop right here where it started.
Come on, Sunny. Listen to me.
I can change.
- I'm sorry about all... - Sorry ain't gonna cut it, Buck!
You turned me against Walter.
You deceived me.
And all those bad things you did?
I can't abide that.
I'm not asking you to.
I just thought maybe...
I don't know.
Oh, hell, I don't know what I thought.
Come here.
That was my goodbye kiss.
What?
What have you done?
I told you I had a plan.
You... You were the monster all along.
I shoulda disposed of you a long time ago.
Aaah!
Aah!
No, Buck!
- No! - Put it down!
Drop it!
Walter?
Oh!
He killed my boy.
- Ah! - Where is she?!
Where is my daughter?!
It's too late.
What did you do to her?
Let him up, Beau!
Beau! Come on! It's not worth it.
Think about your daughter!
Beau!
Where are the girls, Buck?
Get up, Buck. On your feet.
It's time.
No, Sunny, don't.
Sunny, think about what you're doing.
I know exactly what I'm doing.
Shoot 'em, Sunny.
Drop the gun.
No, no, no, no!
Buck!
Buck.
Right. Yeah.
What... What happened?
Um... that was Jenny.
Your dad, he's... he's dead.
How?
Your mother shot him.
Did they find Denise and Emily?
No, he never gave up the location.
Okay, well, we need to keep looking.
Right.
Is there anything else up here?
No. No, it's just this.
It could be anything. Something out of sight, or...
No. I...
There might've been an old mine shaft.
Did you hear that?
Help! We're in here!
Yeah.
We're in here! We're in here!
Emily!
- Emily! - We're in here!
Denise!
We're in here! Help!
Oh, my God!
Ah!
Oh, my God.
Okay. He's got a knife.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
Been meaning to give this back to you.
Emily!
Dad!
Are you okay?
I got you.
Thank you.
I got you.
It's a miracle your son is still alive.
How is Walter? Legally speaking.
Legally speaking, he's gonna be okay.
We just have to sort out a few things.
He's a good boy.
Keep an eye on Cormac for me, would ya?
Tell him I'm sorry for what I did.
And if he and Walter ever do get to meet up,
you make sure they behave themselves.
I will.
I want y'all to know I did what had to be done.
Some bills you just gotta pay yourself,
no matter what the cost.
Well, I guess it's the end of the road.
Y'all be good. I'll be seein' ya.
Anything for family, right?
Honestly, I'd probably do the same thing.
You would, too.
Yeah.
There we go.
Right back to your happy place.
Just the way we left it, see?
I thought I could make you your favorite...
grilled cheese with burnt ends.
I know you don't like anyone touching your grill,
but I thought you could make an exception.
Oh, and I... I got you something.
Just like you always wanted.
Gandalf, right?
Donno.
You were right, okay?
Is that what you want to hear?
You told me to leave it alone, and I didn't,
and I got greedy, and it nearly got you killed.
I don't know what I would do if that ever happened.
I'm so sorry.
Well, say something.
You, um...
...you sort of kissed me.
Be good to know what to think about that, you know?
Professionally speaking, you know?
Well, um...
...I thought you were gonna die, so...
Pity. End of times kiss.
Okay.
Let's just... Let's just call it a kiss.
Leave it at that.
It's just...
...I felt something.
You're supposed to.
It was like my... my first time at Tim Hortons.
There was a maple glazed and...
and then Bavarian cream.
That was your first time?
No.
That's a lie, Donno.
Okay, it's a lie.
But not the doughnuts part.
Like I said...
just a kiss.
Shame that after all of that, that no one got the money.
No way.
I transferred it when you were laid up.
It's ours, Donno.
That's a lot of money.
Yeah.
I wasn't about to walk away empty-handed.
After everything we've been through.
We make a good team.
Your mother's been asking for you.
But she's not going anywhere, so whenever you're ready.
It might be a while.
I'm real glad you're here with me.
Yeah, me too.
Well, I'll be... be right over there.
Okay.
Hello, friend.
What's wrong?
What, does it have to be an emergency
every time I show up?
Name one time it hasn't been.
Okay.
But what if I said that I am not here for work?
Then I would invite you in for a beer.
Great.
Welcome.
It's nice. You got a nice place.
So, Carla's moving back to Houston.
She thinks it's gonna be best for Emily.
She's probably right. Usually is.
Does that mean you're moving back to Houston?
I don't know.
This town does need a sheriff.
Temporary, acting sheriff.
Yeah.
I got a lot of ghosts in Houston.
Are you finally ready to tell me about them?
Oh, I'm gonna need to finish this
and probably a few more before we get into that.
I would like that.
So, why are you here?
Because I wanted to thank you.
Thank you for... for everything.
You would've done the same for me.
Yeah, I would.
Any damn day.
