The Last Thing He Told Me

Stop it! Stop!

- What the hell are you doing here? - I thought you were dead.

You know what I should do? I should call Frank right now.

Frank? No, please. Look, it's her father.

- Please don't call. - Grandpa.

- All right. -

- - It's okay.

It's okay.

You're okay?

We're fine. Everyone… Everyone's fine.

How could you put Bailey and Hannah at risk like that?

You put them at risk. I told you not to go after Frank.

I told you as soon as you were gone, they would come after them.

Well, they tried to kill me because you messed with his business.

The deal you and Hannah made wasn't sustainable.

You can't make deals with these animals. You of all people should know that.

- Me of all people? - Owen.

- What's that supposed to mean? - What do you think it means?

How many more people do you have to lose before you realize what you've done?

So fucking what?

You start talking about my daughter, you won't have to worry about Frank,

'cause I'm gonna go after you my fucking self.

Enough! Enough!

Let's not start litigating the past.

At least not before all of us are somewhere safe.

Charlie?

We should get out of the city. We should head out to Lake Travis.

You want me to invite this asshole into my house?

Hey.

This asshole happens to be Bailey's father.

I'm sure she'd rather you not throw him to the wolves.

Well, you're on borrowed time.

Believe me, I don't plan to overstay my welcome.

Let's go. Charlie.

Seth, can you bring the cars around back? We can sneak out through the alley.

Wait. It's safer if you ride without me.

- Wait, really? - He's right.

I'd rather he ride with us.

What exactly are you worried about?

Well, other than you two killing each other?

It's fine. I'll be fine.

We should move.

- Where's Dad? - He's riding in the other car.

You think that's a good idea?

No. I don't.

Yeah. It's Sully. Yeah, two SUVs just left.

Two SUVs? Why the fuck does Charlie need two SUVs?

- Protection. - Do you want me to follow it?

- Do you want him to follow? - No.

No, we're good.

What's Charlie got to be afraid of?

He thinks that Nicky's death wasn't an accident.

Bullshit. He had a heart attack.

The coroner found traces of poison in his blood.

Well, Nicky wasn't everybody's favorite.

He was mine.

- Where are we on Ethan Young? - I'm on it.

We think he's in Austin.

His wife and kid too.

We should talk.

About what?

We should talk about how we're gonna protect them.

Did it ever strike you that every time you try to protect them,

they wind up in more danger?

The two of them were so angry.

Yeah. Some old wounds there.

They see things so differently.

That's an understatement.

So who do you think is right?

Look, the Campanos broke the law and so did my father.

But whether his work for the Campanos had anything to do with your mother's death…

It's funny, I always believed that Grandpa must have been wrong.

But seeing my dad today, that anger…

Well, it just made me wonder.

What if it was my dad who was wrong?

Those two men, it's… it's not surprising they bring out the worst in each other.

I wouldn't read too much into it. You know your father.

- Did we ever discuss chaos theory? - What?

I studied fractals at UT, we must have discussed chaos theory.

I honestly have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

Chaotic systems seem random, but there are connections, underlying patterns.

A butterfly flaps its wings in Austin,

- you get a tornado in Sausalito. - Get to the fucking point.

It's why I did what I did.

I couldn't put the pieces together.

I-I didn't know exactly what lead to Kate's death, but I knew it wasn't random.

I knew somehow it had to do with that family.

No. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

They just tried to kill you. Isn't that what you said?

- That wasn't Frank. - You don't know that.

You can't know that, which is exactly my point.

Kate tried to warn me.

She…

She hated the fact that you'd wrapped me up in it.

She…

She knew the second you crossed the line and started helping Frank break the law.

Seth. Stop the car.

You don't get these people. You never have.

If I made any mistake, it was in trusting you.

For God's sake,

your daughter was the only thing that gave me any solace at all after Kate's death.

- And you took her away from me. - For her own good.

Bullshit.

- You were punishing me. - What?

- That's all. It was rash, it was stupid. - Jesus Christ.

It was the first in a long line of terrible decisions

that upended the lives of everyone you've come in contact with since.

No. You're wrong, Nicholas.

It wasn't about you.

It was always about her. It was about keeping her safe.

You want to keep her safe? All right.

There. All right.

- - That's Frank's number.

- Call him. -

Turn yourself in.

And then Bailey and Hannah and I can go on with our fucking lives.

Will you call him again, Charlie?

I just tried them. The service around here is not great.

Yeah.

- He's not a monster, Hannah. - Mm-hmm.

Is that…

Oh, thank God.

I told Seth minimal staff.

The less people know he's here, the better.

- Yep. - Hey.

- How'd that go? - Great.

Do you want me to ride home with you?

I got a driver.

Also, I'm not a fucking infant.

Okay. I'll see you in the morning.

Yeah, it's me. Any trace of them?

Stay on it.

I need to put an end to this Ethan Young bullshit.

Speaking of which, I got a thing I need you to clean up for me.

Grady's gone.

The case is gone.

And everything I've done has just put you and Bailey in more danger.

The danger was already there.

- It was only a matter of time. - Maybe. Or maybe I'm the problem.

I knew you shouldn't have been in that car with Nicholas.

Convince me it's not the best thing for all of us.

- For you to sacrifice yourself? - I could disappear again.

- Are you fucking kidding me? -

After all that Bailey has been through, you want to abandon her again?

- I don't want to… I'm trying to-- - Okay, stop it.

Stop it. You can't leave us again. Not now.

Get it out of your head.

Okay.

Okay.

I want to be clear about something.

I am not a fan of this playing with jokers.

It speeds up the game.

My point exactly.

I thought Gin was a way to enjoy passing the time.

You also used to think that driving was a good way to get from Austin to Sausalito.

Just because I don't like planes.

I'm just saying that some things are better when they go faster.

Well, you're gonna regret saying that when I win.

Hmm.

I know you and my dad used to be close.

That was a long time ago.

Charlie said you treated him like a son.

That was before your mother…

You know what he did. He was reckless and wrong about a lot.

What about you? There's nothing you were wrong about?

Plenty. But not this.

I made choices.

And there were consequences.

But I am not about to second-guess myself

because of some damn fool's baseless theories.

Maybe you should start.

Gin.

What about your case against the Campanos?

- Can we build it up again? - Most of the evidence is gone,

there's no easy way to get it back.

Okay, but if we could--

Well, we'd still have to prove that Teddy and Frank knew about the shipments

for it to hold up in a court of law.

What if we were operating outside the legal system?

We don't need to take down the Campano's organization,

we just need to convince them to leave us alone.

Okay. But how?

At the Never Dry, when I suggested that maybe Teddy had poisoned Nicholas,

Frank went nuts.

You think…

You think Frank's losing control.

If Teddy poisoned Nicholas without Frank's knowledge…

Then maybe Teddy's been doing business with the Syndicate

without Frank's knowledge.

We prove that Teddy's been going rogue,

we might be able to convince Frank he's got a bigger problem than us.

Here.

- That's Teddy. - Mm-hmm.

- Bingo can, but that's long gone. - Right.

I have to find another can and tie it to Teddy.

I thought we'd moved from "I" to "we."

Yeah,

but this involves going to Houston, breaking into the shipyard.

It's gonna be dangerous.

Then it's good you'll have me there to help.
