Bloodline

Sometimes, you know something's coming.

You feel it...

in the air...

in your gut.

And you don't sleep at night.

The voice in your head's telling you that something...

is gonna go terribly wrong.

And there's nothing you can do to stop it.

That's how I felt when my brother came home.

- John. - Yeah. Uh, Larry, hi.

- Thanks for meeting with me. - My pleasure. Have a seat.

Listen, before you... Before we start,

I wanna thank you for saying those kind words at the pier dedication.

Oh. That was a special day for a special family.

Look, I don't know if your lieutenant told you why I wanted this face-to-face.

I'm in the dark here.

You're on a shortlist to be the next sheriff of Monroe County.

You don't seem too happy about that.

No, I'm... I'm...

I'm surprised. Uh...

- Especially considering the timing. - Yes.

I'm sorry about your brother.

I understand he's missing.

Yeah.

Larry, you understand that Danny's a person of interest

- in a murder investigation. - That's not a problem.

A challenge? Yes.

But you're a unique candidate with a decorated career.

Born and raised here,

and that Rayburn name will go a long way.

I'd like for you to meet with a few people.

Their support will be important if you decide to run.

Well, I mean, I don't know. I'd, uh...

If you could just answer a few questions about your brother...

And I think I can help ease their minds

on that matter.

I never even considered running for sheriff.

I'd like for you to think about it.

I know we've had our differences, but this is business. I'm willing to...

bury the hatchet.

As long as it's not in my head.

Look, what do you want me to say?

Those Silicon Valley pricks pulled out...

and we want to sell.

And I'm sorry your deal fell through.

That puts you guys in a bad position.

So I've spoken about it with my family,

and they're willing to take out a loan against the inn,

but I may need to revise my original offer.

I'm gonna have to knock off about 10 percent.

Well, we'd be willing to negotiate.

Good.

We go back a long way, Kev.

We'd love the marina to end up with you.

The Rayburn name still means something down here.

Thank you.

- Freddie, how'd you do? - Oh, man, I love this boat.

Rent her any time, I told you.

You know, you really should charge more.

This old girl's good luck.

Check out my haul.

- Hi. - Hi.

Full day of interviews. How'd it go?

It wasn't too rough.

The partners are surprisingly nice for New Yorkers.

Oh. They're actually not that nice.

Well, they're lawyers, so they're good liars, I guess.

Or maybe they just liked you.

Come on in.

I'll pour you a drink.

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that I had to postpone the interview.

I had a lot of stuff going on at home.

I actually have to fly back there tonight.

Oh, no, that's fine. I'm just glad you followed through with this.

To taking a risk.

To taking a risk.

Don't like tequila?

Oh, who doesn't like tequila?

Come on, Surf.

Hey, John.

I...

I need your help.

John?

What happened?

Jesus.

- What happened? - My chest.

You need to go to the hospital, okay?

Oh, my God. Is that Danny?

Yes.

Jesus Christ. Is he dead?

Oh, my God. Do you want...?

Do you want me to call the police?

Help! Please!

- He has chest pains. - Okay.

- Are you his wife? - No, I'm his... I'm his sister.

- His name's John Rayburn. - What happened?

He called me. He couldn't speak, could barely breathe.

Okay, the doctor's gonna wanna talk to you. Wait here.

Miss?

I'm gonna need you to fill out some paperwork.

You can take a seat if you'd like. I'll bring it over to you.

Miss?

- Yeah. - Where are you?

Uh, why? What's wrong?

Just tell me where you are.

I'm in my office. Why?

All right, stay there. I'm coming to pick you up right now.

Meg, what's going on?

It's about Danny.

Meg? Meg?

Coming. Hold on.

I'll be there in a sec.

Meg?

Hey.

- Hi. Oh. - I tried calling a few times.

Um...

- Thought you were in Orlando? - I'm back. Visiting.

- I was hoping we could talk. - Um...

Okay.

- Um... - Jeez.

- Kev. - Yeah, no, it's not...

Belle, it's not what you think.

- I guess now is not a good time. - Yeah, no, it's not.

It's been a crazy few days.

Shit that's been going on with Danny, you wouldn't believe.

What's going on?

I can't really get into it right now. I gotta...

Um... You look great. Um, how long you in town?

A few days.

I'd really like to talk to you when you have time.

Yeah, of course.

I'd, uh... I'd like that.

I really would.

Sorry, I just... I have to go.

Kevin, come on.

Hey, Meg.

Hey. How are you?

Is everything all right?

We're good. We're just... You know, John, he's not feeling well.

- I'm sorry to hear that. - Thank you.

See you later.

Detective Rayburn.

- Can you hear me? - Yeah.

How are you feeling?

Any pain in your chest? Shortness of breath?

Uh-uh.

You were experiencing atrial fibrillation.

We shocked you back into rhythm.

Your blood work shows you didn't have a heart attack.

But hypertension can bring this on.

Have you had high blood pressure?

Uh, I take medication.

All right, I'm gonna send you up for an EKG

- and echocardiogram. - I'm fine.

- Easy. Lie back. - I need...

- I need to talk to my sister. - All right. I'll send someone in shortly.

- How long has he been here? - I don't know.

What happened?

I don't know.

John said I shouldn't call the police.

- But I think that maybe we should. - No, no.

If he said don't call the police, he has a reason,

- so let's just... -Maybe he can explain this to them.

We don't know what the fuck happened. We don't know what there is to explain.

We gotta do something.

- Should we move him? Maybe we should. - I'm not moving him.

Okay. Then maybe we should leave him alone.

You know. Does anyone even know that John was here?

- Did he talk to anybody? - What if there's evidence?

It's gonna lead right back to him.

I think we leave him here.

We leave him. That is the smartest thing to do.

Okay, but maybe we should hide him somehow.

- Where? - In... I don't know.

In the fucking mangroves. We'll just cover him up until...

- No. - ...we can talk to John.

Leave him.

Shit.

- What are you doing? - Someone's coming.

Grab his legs.

What do we do now?

That's Chelsea O'Bannon's car.

Danny must have driven it here.

I think it's better if no one ever knows John or Danny were here.

Pop the trunk.

- Why? - Pop the fucking trunk. Come on.

- What are you looking for? - Chelsea's car keys.

- Hurry. - You wanna do this?

No.

I'm gonna take John's car to the hospital,

and then I'm gonna come back for Chelsea's car.

Take Danny and go home.

- Then what? - Don't do anything until I talk to John.

He's gonna tell us what to do.

Go home.

Hi. I'm his brother.

- How's he doing? - Okay.

We're taking him down to Radiology for some tests.

- Can he hear us? - He's on Serax, it's a sedative.

He kept trying to leave.
