Hey.
Why don't you come back to bed?
I'll rub your back.
Uh, no, thanks.
I don't feel much like sleeping.
You should really try to, babe.
How can I sleep when whoever did this,
whoever murdered my father, made a widow
of my mother, is out there breathing free air?
I'm sorry.
You've... you've got nothing to be sorry about, baby.
No, I think I do.
Tyler, I don't...
We're not gonna use the word "canceled," okay?
It's just postponed.
You know it's not what I want?
Of course, I know that.
It's just, I can't...
I don't see how I can go through a-a wedding right now.
I understand.
I'm not going anywhere.
You better not.

You know, tax season was last month, son.
You know what's more complicated than planning a wedding?
Unplanning one.
- Carlos called it off? - Not called it off.
Just postponed it indefinitely.
I'm sorry.
Now I'm stressing out because I have to call
everybody on the guest list
and try to get a deposit back from the florist
and the venue and the caterer,
and I have no idea where I put the DJ's number.
You don't have to deal with this right now.
There's nobody that you have to call today.
Yes, I do, Dad.
I don't know if we'll get our money back.
We were supposed to get married in five days.
I'm aware. Let me handle it.
Really?
- You would do that? - Yeah.
Come on. Hand it over.
Let me do this for you.
You know, you would have made an amazing best man.
I still plan to.
I can't find it anywhere.
Don't worry, Mom, I'm sure it's here somewhere.
I went through his whole desk twice, mijo.
Uh, are you sure he didn't keep it somewhere else?
No. No, no, no, no. Everything that was important
he kept in this desk,
and the company keeps saying they need the original
or they won't honor it.
"Life insurance."
Is this it?
Yes. Ay, Dios mio.
It was in front of my face this whole time.
I'm sorry, mijo. I'm sorry I made you come over.
I feel like such a fool.
You're not a fool, Ma.
Let me help you put all this stuff back.
- Ay, no, dejalo. - Mom, just...
- I can do it later. - Just let me help.
You know, I-I talked to a flooring company this morning
to change out the floorboards with the blood.
Good. I'm glad.
That way your Tía Lucy and the kids,
they can still stay here for the wedding.
Ma, I'm sorry to tell you this, but...
TK and I decided to postpone the wedding.
We're gonna start notifying everybody today.
No, no... Carlos.
Are you sure?
It just doesn't feel right to do it.
Uh, where does the deed go?
Everything for the house goes in the bottom left.
Does it always stick like this?
Only for the past 25 years.
- That's weird. - What?
The outside of the drawer seems way deeper than the inside.
What is that?
It's a false bottom drawer.
- Did you know about this? - No.
Why on earth would he have that?
Because I think Dad had secrets.
Hi! Come on in, y'all.
- Hey, Grace. - Hey, Wyatt.
Here we are.
It's the, uh, Ryder Rehabilitation Center.
- Wow. - Yeah.
Talk about your Extreme Home Makeover, huh?
Yeah, just, uh, super sad edition.
No, no, it's okay.
You know, it's gonna take some gettin' used to, but it ain't that bad.
We got you your own little entertainment center.
You got a remote.
You got a charger for all your little devices.
We got you a new tablet.
Yeah, no, that's-that's really generous of you guys,
but for real, you did not have to do all this.
Oh, no, we're just gettin' started.
We got loads of snacks. We got chickpeas, we got granola bars,
we got vegan jerky.
Thanks.
We got your itching stick.
Not to be confused with your reaching stick.
Yeah, thanks.
But you know what, I don't know if my fine motor skills
are really reaching stick ready yet.
Well... hold on.
That...
is what these are for.
- Cups? - These ain't just cups.
These are stacking cups.
So when you use these,
they're gonna help you rebuild your neural pathways.
Yeah, I read the pamphlets, too.
So...
I don't know, shall we?
- You mean right now? - Yeah, why not?
Sweetheart, it's been a long afternoon for everybody.
So I think maybe, uh, we should let Wyatt get focused
on just settling in.
Yeah.
Alright.
You wanna, you wanna watch a movie or something, or?
No. I think I just, I need some me time
if that's okay with you guys.
Yeah.
Yes, it is okay.
Um, I'ma check on Charlie.
And, sweetheart, you wanna get started on dinner?
Yeah.
How about, uh, cauliflower steaks, that'd be good?
Yeah. Yeah, that sounds great.
I'm glad you're home.
Hey, babe.
Is the input in back HDMI 2 or HDMI 3?
I think three.
What the heck is that?
- It's a VCR. - VCR?
Where did you get it?
Parents' garage.
What's all this stuff, Carlos?
I'm not sure. It belonged to my dad.
I was over there today helping my mom
look for his life insurance policy,
and I found all this stuff in his desk.
There was a false bottom drawer.
All this stuff was hidden under it.
This one says "confidential."
Yeah.
Burner phone?
Any idea who he was calling on this?
No, it's password protected.
You think your dad was running an investigation off the books?
Maybe.
And there was also this.
Uh, today is Wednesday, October 29th, 2003.
My name is Sergeant Gabriel Reyes.
He's so young.
And if you're watching this, that means something happened to me.
I have uncovered a network of corruption
within the Austin Police Department,
the State Troopers, and in my own organization,
the Texas Rangers.
These three organizations
have been deeply compromised by the cartels.
I have names in these files,
and until I can determine who I can trust
for the safety of myself and my family,
I will trust no one.
It is my intention
to contact the federal agents, DEA, FBI,
and then proceed with a plan of action.
Papa? Papa, where are you?
Hey, mijo. I'm over here.
Hey. Why aren't you in bed?
- Monsters. - Monsters?
- I had a scary dream. - Oh, no.
Hey, well, tell me, tell me what happened.
The monsters took me.
They dragged me away from you and Mama
and you couldn't find me.
Oh, no, mijo.
Well, that sounds scary.
But you know what?
Listen to me.
Nothing could ever take you away from me.
You know why? Because I would never stop looking for you.
- You promise? - I promise.
But you know what monsters are really afraid of?
Kique the Koala.
'Cause he would tear them up like what?
Like a eucalyptus leaf!
That's right. That's right.
So why don't we go find him
and he can protect you all night, okay?
- Okay. - Okay.
Can you make him talk in the voice?
Ay, mijo, it's so late.
- Please. - Okay.
I mean...
Alright, but just
for a little while, mate.
Ay. Come on.
I wanna ask one more favor.
- It's the last one. - Sure. Anything.
I want you...
to help me die, Owen.
_
I've given this a lot of thought.
Okay?
Now that the tremor has moved to the other hand...
it... it's a really bad sign.
It means that I am nearing the end
of middle stage Huntington's disease.
And after that, it's... late stage.
My doctor's telling me that I may only have
two more years left to live.
That is two very long years for them.
I'm not gonna put them through that.
Which is why I need you to help me.
Robert, my whole life is about saving people.
Cheating death. Uh...
I mean...
I can't do it. I-I'm sorry.
I'm not asking you to kill me, Owen.
Just asking you to be there with me...
when I do it.
But you don't know how long you have.
Not really.
And I also don't know how long I will have the ability
to make this decision.
I need to make it while I still can.
I've got it all... worked out.
It'll...
It's just gonna be like the disease took me in the night.
Like it's going to anyway.
I just need someone
I trust to...
Find you.
Yeah.
And to help
get rid of the evidence.
I don't want their last memory of me
to be one of disease and death.
I want it to be beautiful.
A perfect moment.
Help me give them that.
Robert, come take a bite!
Yvonne, what are you doing awake?
Getting my dad's breakfast ready.
He's gonna need his energy for today.
Yeah.
W... Uh, did you guys decide what you're doing today?
Well, since the wedding was called off,
Mom thought that we'd go down to San Antonio for a day or two
and check out the Alamo and maybe Six Flags.
Ooh, that sounds fun.
Yeah.
We'll see how my dad does. I guess he told you he's sick?
Yeah, he did.
He never used to eat breakfast, but I've been making him.
I think it helps.
I'm sure it does.
Actually, Uncle Owen, I have a favor to ask you.
Sure. Anything.
I need you to make his breakfast for him after I go back to California.
Could you do that?
I'll... I-I would be happy to do that.
Uh, how does he take it?
Most recipes say to put a cup of milk
for every half cup of oats.
But I do closer to a cup and a quarter of milk
or else he has trouble swallowing it.
A cup and a quarter. I got it.
It's very important.
I promise I will measure it to the fluid ounce.
Thanks.
I really appreciate you looking after him, Uncle Owen.
I'm really happy he met you.
Me, too.
Baby, have you been up all night?
Shh.
Orale, Ranger man.
Is that your dad's burner phone?
- Yeah. - How did you unlock it?
I cracked the code.
Astros Championship years?
Mom's maiden name.
Andrea Gloria Delgado-Estevez.
1-7-4-5.
What were you just listening to?
That, I'm almost positive,
was the man that murdered my father.
What?
Pablo Martinez. Mid-level man from one of the cartels.
He'd been leaving threatening messages on my dad's burner for months.
I used the APD reverse directory to get his name.
What kind of threats?
Well, for one, my dad was scheduled to testify
in the court last week against a, a cartel lieutenant,
David Santos.
Martinez told my dad to catch a flu and miss court
or he'd catch a bullet instead.
Two days later, he was dead.
So this Pablo Martinez, he-he-he works for Santos?
He delivered the threat. I don't know if he delivered the bullet,
but he probably knows who did.
Okay. Um...
What are the Texas Rangers saying?
I don't know.
What do you mean, you don't know?
Think I'm gonna share this with the Texas Rangers?
No way. You heard what my dad said in the video.
Yeah, but that video was locked in a drawer
- for 20 years, Carlos. - Yeah.
And you know what else we found in the drawer?
My dad's burner phone, which is not 20 years old.
The last message was two days before my dad was murdered.
I'm alone on this.
Baby, when's the last time
you slept for more than a couple of hours?
- I'm fine. - You're not fine.
And you're not alone. I'm-I'm right here with you.
I know.
And you're right. I'm not fine.
I'm angry.
Because I feel like if any other ranger had been
gunned down in his own doorway,
an arrest would have already been made.
I know.
So what are you gonna do?
I don't know yet. I don't know who I can trust other than myself.
I don't think you can trust yourself right now.
You're exhausted and you are grieving.
And trust me, I know that's when bad decisions could be made.
Yeah, but if I share this information with the wrong person...
What about Detective Washington?
You can trust her, right?
Sarina's not a homicide detective.
Yeah, but neither are you.
But she might know somebody, Carlos.
Yeah.
Yeah, she probably would.
So maybe start there.
That's not a bad idea.
- You will talk to her, right? - Yeah.
But not on the phone.
Do you want me to go with you? I-I can cancel my shift.
No, no, no, no. Don't do that.
And you are right.
I really do need some sleep.
I'm gonna go take a shower.
That's good. Just concentrate on that.
- Yeah, I'm concentrating, Dad. - Well, I see that.
I'm just saying, fit that just right up
against the edge of it there. It'll fit right on top...
Dad, will you please just stop
with the freakin' play-by-play, alright?!
Hey, it's okay.
Let's just try this again, man. You're close.
And this time, just really focus on your pincher.
- Just get in there. - You know what?
I'm just gonna call it, okay?
What does that, what does that mean, you're gonna call it?
Do you know what channel Judge Judy's on?
You-you think that this is a vacation or...
Yeah, Dad, no, that-that's what I think.
I think it's a nice little vacation
with my own little personal bedside commode.
Alright. So is-is that what's going on?
Is that what we're gonna do today,
is just we're gonna feel sorry for ourselves?
You know what? Don't mock me, okay?
I'm not mocking you.
I am frustrated with you.
For what, because I'm paralyzed?
No. No.
I'm frustrated because you won't fight.
Alright?
I mean, I didn't, I didn't quit my job
to come here and take care of a quitter.
Yeah, well, I didn't ask you to quit, Dad,
so don't put that on me.
But you never even bothered to ask what my opinion was.
Your opinion?
And what would you have said?
Just forget it, alright?
No, no, no. Wyatt, Wyatt, you said it, right?
So tell me what you mean.
Let's have it.
What would you have said?
I would have said that you're in over your head,
and that y-you don't know
how to change a catheter or a sterile dressing.
That's why I have a nurse coming here today to show me that.
- And... - For you.
I need somebody who's gonna encourage me and inspire me.
Not just bully me and treat me like I'm a baby.
I don't treat you like no baby.
- Really? - Yeah.
You have me stacking baby cups.
You made an actual airplane sound
when you were helping me eat my cereal this morning.
I was just jokin'.
Yeah, no, that's hysterical.
I just wanna help you, son.
I know, and I appreciate that, Dad.
I just, I don't, I don't think that this is the best thing
for our relationship.
I'll tell you what.
If you wanna take a little break, uh...
I'll go do a load of Charlie's laundry.
Dad, you got a minute?
Yeah, no, the boys are just gonna put a pin on the ceremony
until things calm down.
Okay, thanks.
Listen, I-I've got a really big problem
and I'm not quite sure how to handle it.
Sure. Well, what's going on?
Carlos thinks he knows who murdered his father.
- What? - Yeah.
He found this box of off-the-book investigation stuff
that his dad was hiding from him.
Now, apparently, there's this low-level cartel guy
named Pablo Martinez
who's been calling Gabriel on his secret phone
weeks before he died, threatening him.
And what do the Rangers say about it?
Carlos didn't tell them.
What do you mean, he didn't tell them?
He's convinced himself that the Texas Rangers can't be trusted
and that they might even be in on it, Dad.
Okay, that is a very big accusation.
Yeah.
Wait. And you say he convinced himself,
but you're not convinced?
I don't know, Dad. I mean, there was a lot of stuff in that box,
and it was dating back years.
And Gabriel was clearly playing this close to the chest.
Yeah, now, so is his son.
Yeah. But he is right on the edge, Dad.
I mean, he wants to find justice for his father,
but I'm afraid he thinks he might be the only one who does.
You don't think he'd take matters into his own hands, right?
I really don't know.
Well, there has to be someone he can trust.
Yeah. I suggested he go to Detective Washington at the APD.
I mean, they've done, like, three cases together.
Yeah, smart. And?
He said he would, but I just talked to her.
He's never reached out, and now he's not answering his phone.
Did you tell her what was going on?
No. I-I didn't wanna get him in trouble, Dad.
But I-I also do not want him to get himself killed.
Or to kill somebody else.
Yeah.
- Who you calling? - Somebody we can trust.
His name is Pablo Martinez,
the fourth, to be precise.
He's a known associate of the 46th Street Kings.
Popped a couple times for running drugs
up and down the I-35 corridor.
So he probably works for the cartels as well.
- It stands to reason. - Alright.
You have his address?
- Y-yeah. - Good. Hit me.
Well, first, you're gonna tell me
why you had me pull this lowlife's jacket.
It's better if you don't know.
Not once in my life, has that ever turned out to be the case.
Owen, what the hell is going on?
My future son-in-law thinks
he may be involved in his father's murder.
Ranger Reyes? Yeah, I heard about that.
- That was terrible. - Yeah.
And I think Carlos is taking matters into his own hands.
So now you wanna take matters into your own hands to stop him?
I have a bad feeling this kid
is about to make the biggest mistake of his life.
Don't compound this by doing something stupid yourself.
We should just call this in if you're worried.
I told TK that I would keep Carlos safe.
Owen, that's a promise you may not be able to legally keep.
Well, look who's talking.
When your nephew was missing, you didn't go looping in the authorities.
No, but I knew what I was doing.
Which was?
Trying to keep Andy...
Uh...
Trying to keep Andy outta jail.
Give me the address.
Building it from scratch
or tearing it down?
Building.
Pablo, right?
Do I know you?
No.
But I think you knew my father.
Gabriel Reyes.
We're gonna take a little walk back.
Go.
This is a bad idea.
I said keep going!
This is a real bad mistake that you're here.
Probably.
You think you know something, but you don't.
I know you murdered my father.
And I need you to say it.
I'll say whatever it is that you want me to say,
but it doesn't make it true.
No, no, no, you don't! You don't get to say that to me!
Tell me something.
Are you married?
You have a wife or a girlfriend or someone who loves you?
Yeah, you know what? They should be here.
Like my mom was
when you gunned down my father in front of his house.
- Mijo... - Don't call me "mijo"!
Carlos! Stop!
Owen, What the hell are you doing here?
- I'm here to help you. - I don't need your help.
Officer, I need you to put your weapon down slowly.
- No. - Is that really necessary?
Yeah, I think it is. Lower your weapon now.
Put down your gun. Please. put down your gun.
Put down your weapon slowly.
I said no.
I said put it down slowly now.
No! I said no!
- He murdered my dad. - Put the gun down.
Now!
Hey! Hey!
Quiet! Stop it! Listen to me!
I need you to listen to me.
I don't know what it is that you think that you know,
but this is not you. And Gabriel would not have wanted it.
Gabriel's not here right now, is he?
But I am.
No, Owen, he killed my father.
No. No, you have the wrong guy.
How can you know that?
- You-you called him? - I did.
- You're damn right I did. - Why?
Because you're not in the right frame of mind, son.
- No, no. Owen. - I need you to listen to this man.
He has something that he needs to tell you.
Owen, there are things you don't know.
The Texas Rangers, they can't be trusted.
I have proof. My father, he's...
Your father helped weed out corrupt officers
in three agencies over 15 years ago.
And, uh, Gutierrez there helped him do it.
Officer...
- You're a cop? - Was.
DEA now.
Right on the front lines.
So, uh, you mind
taking that firearm away from his head?
You're undercover.
Well, I was.
Hopefully, my neighbors just think I'm being rousted again.
No, no, no, no. But you left threatening messages to my father.
- You did! - Those weren't threats, mijo.
I was warning him.
Santos and his people were gonna put out a hit
on your dad if he testified.
So this is the cartels.
Your daddy never took the stand. Didn't need to.
Santos cut a deal.
So, then...
who did it?
We just don't know.
How could I have been so wrong?
Hey, let me tell you something about obsession.
You may think it's sustaining you,
that it's giving you purpose.
But what it's really doing is just eating alive
everything that is good in your life.
And believe me, eventually there's nothing good left.
But somebody murdered my father.
How can I just decide to move past it?
That's the only way you can get past it.
To decide to.
And forget about it?
No, you won't forget it. None of us could.
But the brutal reality is,
is that you might not ever know who did this.
And if you can't make peace with that,
then your father's life isn't the only one that gunman took.
To Gabriel.
Te quiero siempre, Papa.
He knows.
Hey.
You talk to your dad?
Do you mean, did I rat you out
or did he call me as soon as you left his place?
You didn't rat me out.
You kept me from making the biggest mistake of my life.
You saved me today, TK.
You saved me first, Carlos.
And now I need you to help me keep from making
the second biggest mistake of my life.
Tyler Kennedy Strand...
if you're not doing anything this Saturday,
will you still marry me?
Carlos...
are you sure?
This is the only thing I'm sure of right now.
Yes. I'm sure.
Yes.
Yes, I will marry the hell outta you.
Yes.
Friends, family.
We gather together on this day
to celebrate the union of Carlos Tomás Reyes
and Tyler Kennedy Strand in marriage.
They choose to make their commitment
not only to each other, but to the world.
TK, Carlos, surrounded by a sea of love,
your family and your friends wish you joy.
May you laugh together often.
May you surprise each other daily.
And most importantly,
may you stay out of the ICU for at least a year.
TK.
Carlos...
when I first met you,
you looked at me
as if you knew something about me that I didn't know about myself.
You saw me for the man I hadn't yet become.
And you lit the path for me to get there.
I spent so long feeling like I didn't deserve happiness.
Or even a future.
Like maybe I was too broken.
But you changed that.
And whenever I see you
and whenever I'm with you,
I feel whole.
And I vow...
Carlos Reyes, to take care and nurture your heart
for the rest of my life
as if it was my very own.
Carlos.
You memorized it, didn't you?
Tyler Kennedy Strand...
you're the dream I would not allow myself to have.
I have lived my life in, in so much fear.
Closed off.
Shut down in ways I didn't realize.
You are the key that unlocked me.
The fact that I'm standing here with you today,
before God, my family,
everyone is nothing short of a miracle.
You're a miracle, TK Strand.
My miracle.
And the greatest adventure of my life.
And no matter where the journey takes us,
I vow to be by your side.
I vow to be the caretaker
of your wild heart.
We both ended our vows with "heart."
Yeah, you did.
With these vows, TK and Carlos
bond themselves to one another.
And as a symbol of their lifelong commitment,
they will now exchange rings.
With this ring, you are made holy to me.
For I do love you as my soul.
You are now my husband.
It's all gonna be okay.
TK is gonna be okay.
We saved his life, Owen.
And now he gets to have one.
Then by the power vested in me by the Internet,
I now pronounce you married.
You may kiss your husband.
? I'm gonna love you ?
? Like no one's loved you ?
? Come rain or come shine ?
Husband.
? High as a mountain ?
Where are you at, my love?
- I'm right here with you. - Mm-hmm.
Thinkin' about Wyatt?
? Come rain or come shine ?
Uh... Yeah, a little bit.
Well, you know, Leigh Ann is with him, so he's okay.
No, I was just thinking that...
he ain't even gonna be able to dance at his own wedding.
Oh, sweetheart, you don't know that for sure.
No, I know I don't.
Guess I'm just afraid he's already thrown in the towel.
Listen. He's barely had enough time
to pick up the towel, okay?
Let alone throw it in, okay?
So why don't you dance with your wife right now?
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes?
Mm-hmm.
? 'Cause I'm gonna be true ?
You know, the last time we did this, you walked out on me.
Oh, I promise that won't happen this time.
? You're gonna love me ?
Can you see yourself having a...
another one of these in you?
Oh, honey, I can dance all night.
I meant a wedding.
Oh. Well...
Hmm. Had you asked me that six months ago,
I would have said, hell, no.
Hmm.
? Unhappy together ?
? And wouldn't it be fine? ?
And now?
Let me just say this.
You are very lucky no one's tossed out a bouquet.
? Or sunny, yeah ?
? You're gonna love me ?
? Like nobody's loved me ?
? Come rain or come shine ?
? Happy together ?
Reposado. Neat, please.
? Unhappy together ?
Spin you around the floor?
I need to, uh, prepare myself for when they play "YMCA."
Can't wait. You do all the, uh, arm gestures?
Hmm. It's like landing a plane.
? We're in or we are... ?
Your brother and his family seem to be having a good time.
? Yeah ?
It's like a perfect moment.
? I'm with you always ?
? I'm with you rain ?
? Or shine ?
? Do you remember ?
? The 21st night of September? ?
? Love was changin' the minds of pretenders ?
? While chasin' the clouds away ?
? Our hearts were ringin' ?
? In the key that our souls were singin' ?
? As we danced in the night... ?
May I join you?
Thank you, mijo.
But shouldn't you be out there with all your friends?
No.
I'm exactly where I went to be.
? Ba-dee-ya, dancin' in... ?
How are you holding up?
? Ba-dee-ya, never was... ?
I'm good.
You?
Honestly...
I think this is the best night of my life.
That makes me so happy to hear, mijo.
Hi.
- Can everybody hear me? - Tommy!
- Yeah! - Yeah?
Alright, well, that could be unfortunate.
Um...
Uh, I just, I wanna start off by saying
uh, that
I was pushed into this by a certain paramedic.
TK. Um, so if it all goes badly, it's his fault.
- Yeah. - Babe, what did you do?
TK...
told me that this was his mother's favorite song.
So as much as it pains me...
I am honored to do this for Gwyn
and for you.
Carlos...
this is from your husband.
? Someone to hold you too close ?
? Someone to hurt you too deep ?
? Someone to sit in your chair ?
? And ruin your sleep ?
? And make you aware ?
? Of being alive ?
? Being alive ?
? Someone to need you too much ?
? Someone to know you too well ?
? Someone to pull you up short ?
? And put you through hell ?
? And give you support ?
? For being alive ?
? Make me alive ?
? Make me confused ?
? Mock me with praise ?
? Let me be used ?
? Vary my days ?
? But alone ?
? Is alone ?
? Not alive ?
I'm really glad I got to know you, Owen.
Even a little.
Well, big brother...
you ready?
No.
Hey.
It's gonna be okay.
? Somebody crowd me with love ?
? Somebody force me to care ?
? Somebody let me come through ?
? I'll always be there ?
? As frightened as you ?
? To help us survive ?
? Being alive ?
? Being ?
? Alive ?
