- [Florence] Ruth!
- Yeah-yeah!
- [banging on door]
- [Florence] Ruth!
Florence, oh.
[Florence] Got here as fast as I could.
All right, tell me, how's his breathing?
Has he had any seizures?
Hey, Martin.
[sighing]
Martin's fine.
What the heck, Ruth?
Yeah, he took, he took a positive turn.
So when you called in a panic saying
he was dying, that was
A false alarm.
Uh, it must have been gas.
I have patients, Ruth.
I have real patients
that depend on me, that trust me.
Yeah, Saint Florence, yeah, yeah,
oh yeah, the holy one.
Don't poke at me.
[sighing]
I have tried to embrace you,
to be a good sister. If you had just
asked me, I would have come.
Yeah, we both have plenty
of complaints, all right?
So, how about you extend a hand
and look after him today?
- All right?
- No! No!
I will only help you
when I'm at the hospital.
I have made that perfectly clear.
When you are ready
to bring him back in, call me.
[clears throat]
I have a job interview.
That's great, yeah, that's,
that's progress.
You really should get out.
But what's happening with the farm?
They killed our taps.
- What does that mean? How do
- Léonard does what he wants.
Please look after him today.
No. I said I wouldn't,
I'm not gonna be a part
of this insane system you've created.
I need money.
[Florence] Oh! Oh!
- I am not giving you any money!
- I didn't ask you!
Just trying to be realistic,
like you said.
Fine.
Fine, I will take the morning off.
But one blip on his EKG
and I am calling an ambulance,
I swear my hand on the King James.
You got it, Ruth?
[heart monitor beeping]
You better get that job.
[Léonard] Bathroom smells like shit!
[chuckles]
Hey! Liam!
How are your trees doin'?
- What crawled up his ass?
- Yeah.
Um, as I was saying uh
We gotta end this war with Ruth, Dad.
Let everyone cool off.
Absolutely not.
She assaulted a building owned
by the farmers of this town.
Besides, we finally got her by the balls.
No, no, we really don't.
She's gaining support.
Just sweep it under the rug,
that's the play.
We have to think about optics here.
- Optics? Ha!
- Yeah.
You're your mother's son, that's for sure.
Ah, the main course!
Thanks.
Can't have a hot morning
without Louise's hot cakes.
I don't make 'em.
[Léonard speaks French]
[Léonard] Sweetie pie, excuse,
but there's no syrup.
Ah, be a good girl, get me some syrup.
[waitress] We're out.
[Léonard] But Liam's got syrup.
We're. All. Out.
I've got a warehouse full
that says otherwise.
- Hey, chop chop!
- Yeah, Dad, optics. Optics, Dad.
[Léonard] Really?
Is this because of her?
Have you forgotten what I've done for you?
[syrup bottle clattering]
Hey, uh
Yeah.
Yeah, that's too much.
Nice place, bring your kids here?
It's safe. I got people inside.
Though I gotta say,
I usually try to find a place
that doesn't smell so much like shit.
We're downwind of the dairy farms.
- [phone rings]
- Suck it up, pussy.
So, the dead guy's storage unit
is about an hour away.
Could this wait until,
I don't know, after breakfast?
Because the cops know about it too.
- Might already be on their way.
- Then why are we doing it?
If the syrup barrels
Rémy and his buddy stole are still there
and the cops find them,
they'll lock down the warehouse
and our whole operation is fucked.
Do this and we can steal syrup all night.
$300,000 by tomorrow morning, easy.
- Easy. Okay, great.
- Hey! We're not done here.
Come on, Ruth, it's freezing!
I've been up since the crack
cleaning the truck,
switched the plates What?
You need to apologize.
No, never, to who? Why?
Rémy's scared you threatened to kill him.
Oh I didn't threaten to kill him.
- If I threatened to kill him, he'll know.
- Just apologize. I vouched for you.
- Oh you vouched for me?
- Mm-hmm.
[Rémy] They have good wings here.
There he is! That's the man!
That's the man I've been wanting to see.
Rémy. Okay Hey, partner.
Look, listen,
we were just talking and I
I understand there was
a miscommunication.
Okay? Now what you saw from me,
what you think you saw yesterday
- That was passion, Rémy.
- Oh, passion?
[Mike] Yes!
In the moment, of the For the job!
Now we need you!
I need you, okay? Hop in.
Yeah, your provisions are all packed up?
It's a It's a big bag.
What, did you pack for a month?
- We're not going to fucking war, Rémy!
- Hey!
Oh, oh, so, I-I, okay
- Holy shit! Did you see that?
- [Ruth clears her throat]
- Holy So I just saw that. It just
- Yeah.
It did, it popped up again.
I saw it that time, okay?
That was passion.
You were smart to sort of see like,
"Hey, he's gotta rein that in."
I promise you that I will, on my honor,
that'll never happen again. Okay?
- So hop in.
- Did you kill Orval?
No way!
- Oh! Oh no, oh is that?
- No?
No! No! Listen.
I told you, the guy had his hand
in a million different pots.
One of 'em must have got too hot.
Yeah. I did warn him about divided focus.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah.
In our line of work,
that's fucking dangerous, right?
What do you say, Rémy?
- Best friends to the end, right?
- All right, yeah!
Hey! I brought gorp!
- Morning!
- Bonjour!
Wow.
[chuckling]
Did you sleep well?
You're really into
the arts and crafts of it all.
No red string?
[chuckles]
I, uh, wanted to get you up to speed.
This is the crime scene
and the victim was found here.
Yeah, I was there this morning, I know.
What is this?
I got ten cases waiting for me
back in Montreal,
so what else you got on the victim?
- Uh Right.
- We need more.
Well, he's a local, a bit of a barfly.
What is this? A storage unit.
What did you find there?
- I actually haven't had the time
- All right, let's go! We're going.
[engine rumbling]
[Mike] Six weeks? Ha!
You wait all year long
for a lousy six weeks to tap syrup?
- Sap.
- What?
She said sap.
Four to six weeks
to collect the tree's sap.
- Then we turn the sap to syrup.
- It's not just syrup in the trees?
No. No!
[chuckling]
That would
That would be amazing, but
Okay, but we're stealing the syrup, right?
We're not stealing sap.
- [Rémy speaks French]
- Of course, not!
Sap How do you not know this?
Uh, 'cause no one does, Ruth,
no one except sap farmers?
They're not called sap farmers.
The point is,
sugaring season's almost over.
Sugar? When did sugar
come into this conversation?
Sap Syrup
My point is, nothing's getting robbed
after harvest day.
Yeah. People deposit their excess syrup
before the big party at the warehouse.
Busiest day of the year.
So, we only have three nights to do this.
Three nights.
You're leaving Martin alone
for three nights? Is that safe?
Screw you.
I'm getting someone to watch him.
My sister.
- Your sister?
- Yeah.
Where the fuck are you telling your sister
that you're going?
You can't just change routines,
that's a red flag!
- Fucking amateur move!
- Oh!
Is this plan an amateur move?
Filling the barrels with water
and slipping them back into the warehouse?
Because that's all me!
You're driving too fucking slow!
How many times do I have to tell you?
The police are
Rémy, what the fuck are you doing?
Can you take up more fucking room?!
What?!
I'm just opening more gorp.
- My God!
- Oh!
Never forget your multi-tool.
Ah-ha.
Cops. Cops.
[tires screeching]
- That's the officer who arrested me!
- Fuck, fuck.
What the fuck are they doing?
Going to Orval's storage unit like I said.
- They're beating us there.
- There's no way they're going there.
Oh well, cops, 45 minutes outside of town,
where else are they going?
- Okay, we can beat them there.
- What, speed past the cop car
on the way to a crime scene?
Is that your plan?
Fine, Ruth, fine. Let's do it your way,
we'll slow down, Ruth.
I can't find the warrant.
Oh shit!
Um, I
What?
I forgot about the warrant.
- What?
- I forgot.
- What do you mean, you forgot?
- I We left in a rush.
I didn't know that we were
searching it today
Which is something you could've
mentioned back at the station!
- Yeah.
- Fuck.
[Ruth] You're too close!
- I'm just the right amount of close!
- They're gonna see us!
Shut up or I swear to God
I'm gonna give those cops
another two murders to investigate!
Uh
Tiny problem
There's no reception.
All right, well, we'll get off,
find reception,
then you can clean up your mess.
- They're exiting.
- What?
- Perfect! We can beat them now.
- [Mike triggers the turn signal.]
- What the hell are you doing?
- Following them.
What, why? This is our chance!
If they beat us to the barrels,
the heist is off.
I need to know what they know.
Mike, partner,
I don't wanna question you, but
Would you listen? If they get off here,
they could stop for five minutes or 45,
- we won't know.
- We'll know we're ahead of them.
I'm not in the business
of racing to a crime
- knowing the cops are right behind me.
- Three seconds ago,
- you wanted to beat them there.
- We follow them,
I can at least buy us some time,
it's the smart move.
Oh, so now you're the smart one.
I'm the professional.
Decisions have been made!
[thunder rumbling]
Great. They stopped
and we also fucking stopped.
Mike's got a plan.
What's the plan?
[rain pattering]
Our cop friends are about to have
a bit of car trouble.
- Sit tight.
- You're gonna break into a cop car?
That's the dumbest thing I ever heard.
[chuckles]
This is fine, this is the plan.
[Teddy] Thank you.
[Nadeau]not bad. Hmm.
Everything's all set.
They'll email the warrant
- when it's ready.
- All right, let's eat.
[suspenseful music playing]
Okay
[phone chiming]
I got the warrant.
There.
Where do you wanna sit?
- There Sure.
- Let's go there.
- [Rémy] They're going to the window.
- He's not gonna make it!
Get me down here!
[Mike] Here Come on
Fucking French.
- [engine starting]
- What are you doing?
[indistinct]
What the fuck are you doing?
Get outta here!
- If I move, you go to jail.
- I'm not finished yet.
How long does it take
- to cut a couple of wires?
- Longer. It takes longer, Ruth.
Guys, I'm on it.
[air hissing]
Nice.
Never forget your multi-tool.
- All right, all right.
- [Rémy] Go, go, go!
[Léo] Wait a minute.
Please, again, don't do this.
Is it not my job
as the Chief Manager of the Association
- to enforce the codes and bylaws?
- Advisor to the Manager. But I
- You saw them in the diner.
- Yeah!
That's because of her.
She could start an uprising.
We can add security.
Rémy's done a slew of proposals.
Listen to yourself. Rémy?
[speaks French]
Give me a break!
- [knocking on door]
- [Léo] Dad
[Léonard grumbling]
[knocking on door]
[Florence] Yes?
Uh, uh
- Where's Ruth?
- I imagine if she wanted you to know,
she would've told you.
- Uh, well
- Uh, no, we'll,
- we'll come back, thank you.
- No, no, no, no. Uh
My name is Léonard Gauthier
from the Association
Yes, yes. I know who you are, yes, yes.
You're a popular figure
in all of her rants.
Well, uh, glad to hear it.
Now, this is for her, okay?
This is time sensitive.
- What?
- [Florence gasps]
She was telling the truth.
Excuse me?
She says that you are Satan.
And I didn't believe her at first,
but $100,000 doubling every week?
You will have her house in a month.
Well, that may be, but you see
She's been operating an unlicensed farm
for almost two years now.
And not only that,
a simple scan of her trees
shows she's increased taps,
- which is a compounding violation.
- You think this makes you look tough?
Excuse me?
Harassing the wife on an invalid?
Because it doesn't.
It makes you look weak.
And I can see it in your face.
You are a weak cowardly man.
- And if I can see it
- Okay, okay, this was a mistake.
Just make sure she gets this.
[Florence] You know what,
everyone can see it!
They are all losing faith in you.
All of them! Sooner or later,
Ruth will make sure
that everyone turns their backs on you!
- [Nadeau] Shit!
- [Teddy] I can call a tow truck.
It'll be here in an hour.
I'm not waiting for a fucking tow truck!
[tool clangs]
[distant train honking]
- [lock clanking]
- There you go!
[grunts]
Two in one day, still got it, Mikey!
Still got it!
[door creaking]
Well, shit
- Of course he's a hoarder.
- No, we've got time!
An auto repair truck
will take at least an hour.
Rémy, look for the barrels.
Mike, a word.
- Don't you think all three of us
- Rémy, barrels!
- Okay, okay.
- Mike, let's go.
Lucky.
What's going on?
Uh, an old lady and an idiot
are ruining my perfect heist?
- I mean, back there with the cops.
- I ran out of time.
Chicken Little did it in five seconds.
What were you looking for?
I have no idea
- what you're talking about.
- I saw you going through their shit.
- What are you up to, Mike?
- Why are you so pissed?
This is working! You with the truck,
Rémy with the tire,
- we're firing on all cylinders.
- Don't try to play me!
Were you involved in Orval's death?
No.
Because if you were, I'm out.
I didn't sign up for fucking murder.
It's a good thing
I didn't fucking murder him then, Ruth.
- [decoy owl hooting]
- [chuckling]
I love Martin more than anyone
in the world except you.
Just leave him out of it.
I can't. Because I'm doing all this,
dealing you in,
putting up with Dumb and Dumber,
all for Martin.
He's like a brother to me.
I'd never put him in danger.
And killing this fucking Orval?
That puts Martin in danger.
Why would I do that, Ruth?
Why would I do that?
I don't know.
Bigger share of the money, maybe?
Impress the boys back in Boston?
You hear yourself?
You sound crazy.
I got money, Ruth. I'm flush
I'm, I'm doing this
to pad my retirement.
I didn't kill Steeks, I wasn't looking
for anything in the cop car.
I was looking for the ignition wires,
these new models are harder
harder to find.
Are we good?
[sighs]
We're fine.
[laughs]
Found the barrels!
Orval used a tarp.
[car approaching]
Cops! Cops!
You said an hour! Come on!
- Did they see us?
- [Ruth] Get the barrels on the truck.
Get them on the truck!
Hurry up! Let's go!
What the fuck is this one full?
[indistinct chatter]
- We're on, in the wrong aisle.
- Yeah.
[suspenseful percussive music playing]
[grunting]
- [Ruth] Bring 'em back in!
- What?!
- [Rémy speaks French]
- There isn't enough time,
- bring' em back in.
- We can't, Ruth!
[suspenseful percussive music playing]
Roll it on back!
Move it!
- We're trying to!
- Move it! Move it!
- Roll it in!
- It's going uphill!
Go, go, go, go!
Come on! Hurry it up!
Come on! They're here!
I'm not getting caught!
You hear me, I'm not getting Ah!
[shouting indistinctly]
[Nadeau] All right. I think this is it.
- [Teddy] It's there. Here.
- [Nadeau] Yeah.
[Nadeau] Alright!
[car doors closing]
[Teddy] This is it. 40-42.
- [Nadeau] Yeah!
- [Teddy] It's not even locked!
[Nadeau] Yeah, good, all right!
- [grunting effort]
- [door creaking]
- [Nadeau] Shit!
- [Teddy] It's not working?
[Nadeau] No.
[Teddy] Let's go get the manager.
No! No tow truck, no manager, come on.
- Help!
- [Teddy] Sure. Sorry.
- [Nadeau] Go! Lift!
- [door creaking]
Lift!
[grunting]
What is this? Fuck.
[intense creaking]
Oh fuck! Oh shit!
Yeah, envoye.
- We almost had it, once more.
- [Teddy] Yeah.
Yeah! Yeah! Yes!
[creaking]
[grunting]
[shouting]
What is this?!
Ah, it's just stuck.
Yeah, uh Yeah
[banging on door]
[Teddy] All right, one more time, come on.
[grunting]
[speaks in French]
[Nadeau] It's okay.
No, if we just, uh
squish it a little bit maybe?
- [Nadeau] Okay, one more time.
- [Teddy] Yeah, yeah.
[heavy creaking]
[grunting]
[Nadeau] Shit!
What is this, tabarnak?
[breathing heavily]
- Well
- There's nothing easy!
Come on!
Let's go find the manager.
A fucking nightmare!
The whole thing!
This whole investigation.
- [engine starting]
- [gasping]
[Rémy] I think it's okay.
Oh!
All good!
[Mike muttering]
[indistinct chatter]
[creaking]
Oh, wow.
Ugh, this is gonna take days.
- You're gonna need to call in the techs.
- They're still behind processing
the murder scene.
We can do this ourselves.
And contaminate the crime scene?
I don't think so.
It's a room full of garbage.
What could you possibly find yourself?
[Teddy] This!
Somebody broke in.
- Right?
- Fuck!
Wait. Shit
Look at this hole.
No nail did this.
- Yeah.
- And wasn't there a black truck
parked over there just a few minutes ago?
There was a black truck
back at the restaurant.
[woman] Yup!
That's the only angle I've got.
Can you back it up?
[Nadeau] Yeah, there, stop!
- [Teddy] The truck.
- Yeah.
[scoffs]
We're gonna need this tape.
[upbeat music playing]
[Mike] I keep asking myself
how I'm gonna stay awake all night.
And then I remember
- Money.
- Hm!
- A crap load of money.
- Yup.
You're sure there's no security cameras?
None. Just me. Easy pickings.
So let's go steal enough
to make Léonard bleed.
- Let's do it.
- Let's go.
A third of a million by breakfast.
I wish I could tell my dad.
He would crap himself.
Okay, stay here, I'll let you in.
Alright.
[whistling]
[Léo] Hey! Rémy!
Hey! Léo!
Rémy Bouchard, meet Gary Montour!
I got you a new security guard.
[chuckles nervously]
[upbeat music playing]
