Ozark

How do we reconcile it?

I...I don't know that we see it as something that has to be reconciled.

I mean... wouldn't you agree, Marty?

– Yeah. Yeah. – Mm-hmm.

Uh...

The way we see it, we're in the business of bringing prosperity to this lake...

...of, helping to turn it into a year-round tourist destination,

...of helping our community thrive.

And isn't that what it means to be a good neighbor?

Set a good example for our children? A good person?

Obviously, the FBI doesn't see it that way.

Or they wouldn't have raided your home, and brought you in for questioning, Marty.

Well, they didn't bring me in. I volunteered.

Cooperated. Under duress.

How do you figure?

They clearly thought you had something to hide,

...because they felt the need to come here in the middle of the night.

Well, it was early morning, actually.

When they knew you'd least expect them.

I'm curious, how you explain that.

Marty.

The fuck you doing?

It's obvious he ain't coming, Daddy.

Not necessarily. Henry can be a tad erratic.

Erratic ain't good enough when you're a parolee, Daddy.

I said quit fucking with that. You're gonna draw attention to the merch.

If you think someone's watching,

...all the more reason we should be getting the fuck out of here.

– ( CAR APPROACHING ) – Fuck. Cops. Go!

Shit. Get the fuck out of here! Go!

Shit!

Oh, y'all look like ants, scrambling from a hill I just stepped on.

You were supposed to come by boat.

Well, uh, boat's out of commission.

Besides, little girls need to learn to be on their toes.

And quarter-wits, need to take their advice and shove it...

...before what's left of their brains leaks out.

Stand down, Ruthie. The man's got money for us.

Crown Vic? What, you trying to look like a cop?

I got it at auction.

So, y'all holding out on me?

Or does this just boil down to a failure of imagination?

It's off-season.

Right. When we build our inventory.

If you got something specific in mind, spit it out.

All right. I'll give you ten grand...

...if you can get me a FLIR Thermal Imaging System in the next 48.

Well, that's like finding a pearl in pig shit.

Sure. But if the pearl is so easy to find,

...it wouldn't even be worth the shit it was in, now would it? (LAUGHING)

Is everything okay?

Wendy, you all right?

Wilkes thinks you're about to be arrested.

Really? When did he say that?

Couple of days ago.

And you're just now bringing it up?

Well, we've kind of had our hands full, Marty.

Did he care to, share how he came to this conclusion,

– ...or did he just kind of blurt it out? – Does it matter how if he's right?

How many other people have to betray us before we realize...

Well, Rachel is not betraying us.

She's wearing a wire, after she stole from us.

A wire that she told us about, after, she outed her handler to us.

She could've shown you because she thought you were onto her,

...and she thought it was her best move.

She obviously hasn't given anything to the FBI on us,

...otherwise she wouldn't have told us about it.

How do you know she hasn't given them anything?

Do you have any idea how long she's been wearing that wire?

My guess is since she's been back.

But you don't know for sure.

Just like you don't know she's not playing us.

Unless there's something I'm missing, something you're not telling me.

Why do I get the feeling I'm the one being interrogated here?

'Cause I told you she couldn't be trusted, and you didn't believe me.

– Was that her? – "I need to see you as soon as possible."

– No. – Could be important.

None of us can step in the Blue Cat again.

Charlotte, you're no longer working at the Blue Cat.

– Wait, what? – I'll explain later.

You're the one that wanted me working there.

Well, now we don't.

Go tell your brother, just because he's suspended,

...that doesn't mean he gets to sleep in all day.

I want him at that table, doing his homework...

...and only his homework, by the time I'm out the door.

Nothing in this house makes any fucking sense.

I don't think we can avoid the Blue Cat entirely.

It'll just tip off the FBI that we're onto her.

What would you rather do?

I'd like to take advantage of the situation...

...and feed them misinformation. Excuse me.

That is way too risky. What if you slip and tell her something you shouldn't?

I think I'm capable of a little discretion.

The safest choice, is a clean break.

Since when were you one for taking unnecessary risks?

Please tell the kids that breakfast is ready.

I gotta go take care of some business at the club.

Don't forget we have that, PR agent thing at ten.

– Helen had to haul ass... – Got it.

It's just a little water, baby.

And you're sure his boat's got a FLIR Imaging System?

If he talked about that boat any more, you'd think he married it.

Lulu said that, he just about moans its name...

...when she goes down on him in the parking lot.

It'd be a real shame to squander all this time...

...we could be spending on more remunerative opportunities.

Opportunities with a pay-off we actually know exists.

I can't steal Marty's money if I don't know where it is, Daddy.

I'm trying.

– Try harder. – I said I'm working on it, okay?

Don't mind if I do. We'll come back after dark, Ruthie.

Hi.

Hi. Everything all right?

I can't stop thinking about last night.

Yeah, me, too.

I could hardly sleep, wondering when I'd see you again.

Yeah, that makes two of us.

Turns out I didn't have to wait very long, did I?

No, you didn't.

Thank God.

God, I wish we didn't have customers here right now.

Why's that?

Don't make me say it. I'll blush.

Well, I'd, uh... I'd really love to hear you say it, Rachel,

...because, uh, you've piqued my interest, and I'm a curious guy.

Hmm.

Maybe you could come by around closing, and I could show you.

Should I wait for you?

Hi, Charlie. Hey, it's me. It's Wendy. I just...

I don't want you to think that I have forgotten you or that I'm ignoring you.

I just... I just need some time to,

I don't know, process our conversation.

I just need to think it through, so if you could just, bear with me, okay?

I'll...I'll call you. Thanks, bye.

Looks like you've got some serious problems.

You're lucky Helen called while the situation is salvageable.

Albeit with an extremely aggressive approach.

Or as it's known around here, 40 minutes of hell.

Not sure I follow.

The full-court press, pioneered by Nolan Richardson...

...when he led the Razorbacks to the '94 national title?

– And adopted by Mizzou... – Right.

...when his longtime assistant Mike Anderson coached the Tigers? Come on.

I've never even been to the Ozarks before, and I knew that.

Yeah.

Well, just like Coach Richardson's famous full-court press,

...our strategy is to play offense and defense, with equal intensity.

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.

I'll be posting regularly...

– ...and expecting you all to do the same. – Mm-hmm.

And tomorrow, a lifestyle reporter from the Kansas City Star...

...will be interviewing you in your home...

...and doing a photo spread of the family.

You all have such a, wholesome look,

...and we want to emphasize the casino, as an approachable mom-and-pop operation.

How do you know what our family looks like?

Helen.

Yeah. Um...

Tell me about the defensive part of our full-court press.

The problem with the US justice system is...

...it doesn't prove innocence, even if you're acquitted.

So, it's up to us to wash the stink off, by hitting your little FBI problem head-on.

So you're going to look gracious, about the investigation.

Smile it off as a misunderstanding.

I'm supposed to smile about the FBI threatening to put my kids in prison?

Do you want to act righteous, Marty, or do you wanna win?

I work with winners. I bet your wife does, too.

And she'd know the right answer...

– ...from her work in politics. – Hmm. (CHUCKLES)

Speaking of which, when are we expecting Wendy?

Get up! – ( WENDY GRUNTING )

I have a 14-year-old boy named Jonah and a 15-year-old girl named Charlotte.

The boy, he's really, really smart. He's a little awkward, but, you know,

I bet if you gave him a jet engine,

...he could take it apart, and he could put it back together again.

And the 15-year-old, she doesn't apply herself as much,

...but nothing gets by her, believe me. No!

No. (PANTING)

– ( WENDY SHOUTS ) – ( TRUNK SLAMS )

– Hi, this is Wendy. Leave me a message. – ( BEEPS )

Wendy!

Wendy!

Shall not go unpunished. Can't go unpunished.

Until the lies will be destroyed. Must be destroyed.

Hey.

Where is she?

I haven't the faintest clue what you're talking about.

Wendy.

I just found her car out in the middle of fucking nowhere,

...with tire tracks leading away from it.

The same exact stunt you and Jacob pulled on me a few months ago.

Now, why would we go and do a thing like that to Wendy?

Cut the shit.

We don't sell fertilizer, Byrde. That's two rows down.

We both know that you're still pissed off at her...

...for burning the field, and lying to you about getting a kid.

Sounds like maybe she deserved to be taken.

Darlene, I'm gonna give you two minutes to decide whether you wanna start a war...

...that you have zero chance of winning.
