Leverage: Redemption (2021) s02e05 Episode Script

1
Mobility is good.
No pain?
All set to go, my man.
Your shoulder is coming along nice.
But I wanna see you in group.
[PATIENT] Aw.
There's more to healing
than the physical.
The guys in group,
they've been through
the same stuff as you.
Talking can help.
Plus, we bring great pastries.
[PATIENT] Huh. All right, Doc.
[SIGHS]
Is that the last patient?
I have a chart for you to sign.
And three more messages from Kurlander.
I got nothing to say.
Doing anything fun this weekend?
- Work.
- That's not fun.
This kind of work requires
balance. What's my first rule?
Physician, heal thyself.
Put that oxygen mask on
yourself first, Mitchell.
Otherwise, you're just another casualty.
Now, get out of here. Go have fun.
Doctor's orders.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Doc!
No, no.
No, no, no.
Paul!
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
[DR. PAUL LAUGHING]
[ELIOT] You never got
the story right, not once.
How are you? You're so
strong. Señor, you do it.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Listen to me.
She wasn't the General's daughter.
The girl wanted to run away with
you. She was in love with you.
She was not.
Why else would he have his men
chase us like dogs through a swamp?
She was his wife.
Oh. That makes sense.
- To the General's wife.
- Yeah.
- [LAUGHS]
- Hey, here's to your clinic.
That sounds amazing, man.
And the fighting doesn't
end once you're back home.
That's why I help the guys who need
it to make peace with their past.
It was very kind of Austin
Kurlander to foot the bill, isn't it?
He never struck me as
somebody that generous.
Yeah, well, that's his way
of making peace with the past.
What about you? Make
peace with yours yet?
Somewhat.
- You're not getting any younger.
- I know.
- Neither is he.
- I know.
[BARTENDER] Two shots for you, señor.
Gracias.
- [BARTENDER] Salud.
- Gracias.
Listen, I know I owe you one.
This can't be fixed.
You can try.
To the road we've traveled.
To the road ahead.
[MITCHELL] Dr. Paul was like a scalpel.
He could look at you and cut right
down to what your problems were,
what you were hiding from.
He believed you had to heal
your past to have a future.
And he dedicated his life
to helping guys like me,
like us,
find the strength and
clarity to do that.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Are you Eliot Spencer?
I recognized your photo
from Dr. Paul's office.
I'm Mitchell Bukner. We worked together.
Mitchell, it was a very
nice speech you gave.
I didn't know him like you did.
Dr. Paul told me some stories
about you and what you do now.
What can I help you with, Mitchell?
Help me prove the explosion
wasn't an accident.
Paul was killed by Austin Kurlander.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
So we've got a lot on our plate.
I can do this by
myself. I'm not asking
- You don't have to.
- [SOPHIE] We know the risks.
That said, what else do we know?
Uh, well, contrary to
the official report,
that is not a gas leak
explosion in the center.
Given the intensity of the burns,
I'd probably bet more of a MIC.
- Mike who?
- [BREANNA] Uh, M-I-C,
Metastable Intermolecular Composite,
also known as a nanothermite.
Enter Austin Kurlander.
[PARKER] Austin Kurlander?
As in Austin Kurlander,
Silverguard Austin Kurlander?
As in one of the most highly
decorated veterans of the Iraq War.
He was awarded a Silver Star for
leading his unit away from an ambush,
held a pretty strategic
bridge for about a week
until reinforcements arrived.
Paul Orozco.
Paul was the medic
in his unit and, uh
Um, so, uh, after
discharge, uh, Kurlander,
he worked at a couple of
private security companies,
and then he founded Silverguard,
which, as we all know, is
- Shady ass
- the largest
private security companies
in operation today.
I mean, they have contracts
ranging from fighting our wars
to protecting private American assets.
They've become a minor wing of the MIC.
Molecular
intermolecular and stable
And military-industrial complex.
- Let's get to the bad stuff.
- I am.
Whispers about scandal and
corruption have been ongoing, right?
I mean, Silverguard was implicated
in that friendly fire shooting in Kabul.
They've also been rumored
to guard Saudi princes,
but nothing seems to stick so far.
Well, private military companies
are given tremendous leeway to operate.
They're not government agencies,
so federal regulations don't apply,
and because there's no oversight,
it's hard to bust them
when they break the law.
I mean, it gets even worse.
He is currently lobbying a new
bill that would allow Silverguard
to do more of our
nation's dirty laundry.
Modern wars leave no
room for a learning curve.
It's time these duties were
carried out by professionals.
I don't often talk about this,
but when my unit was on
that bridge under enemy fire,
two things kept us alive, my training,
and knowing that my men had each
other's backs and I had theirs.
This bill allows companies like
Silverguard to have America's back.
Let's let professionals keep the watch
and let all our children grow up
with the umbrella of
freedom that will create.
Still waiting on my umbrella of
freedom and my shower cap of equality.
So Kurlander and Dr. Paul
served in the same unit,
and then Kurlander put up
the money for Paul's clinic.
This Mitchell guy said that he
thought there was some tension.
He said he heard them
arguing on the phone.
Last week a couple of Silverguard
came by and leaned on Paul,
wanted some patient files.
Sounds like Kurlander had a secret
and Paul found out what it was.
Let's go introduce ourselves
and see if we can't peek
behind Silverguard's curtain.
I think the front door is just as good.
Why don't you go over to Paul's
place and see what you can find there?
I'll go with you.
Nobody should have to go
through a friend's things alone.
[SOPHIE] When a case touches us closely,
we care more, and so, we
need to be more careful.
You'll get what you want.
I can promise you that.
Not everything.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm here. Breanna?
Present. Parker?
Here. Breanna, how we looking?
[BREANNA] Stand by.
I am looking the feeds in the
building security system
and disabling the facial recognition
software in their lobby
and jamming those infrared sensors.
They've got honeycombing in
the airspace above the roof.
All while while microwaving
a bean and cheese burrito.
It should take about 90 seconds.
[ELIOT] I stayed with Paul a while ago.
He always left his keys here.
[HARRY] Whoa.
Looks like somebody's been here.
Looked like a pretty interesting guy.
When was the last time you saw him?
Did he have a family?
We were family.
Don't!
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[BEEPING]
[BEEPING STOPS]
[ELIOT] All right.
[DOOR OPENS]
[HARRY] Ooh, seems like
Dr. Paul was quite prepared.
[ELIOT] Yep, prepared
to go after Kurlander.
[MICROWAVE BEEPS]
Ooh, ah. Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. Ah.
Okay. Systems are looped,
disabled, and jammed.
Parker, you have about, like, 20 seconds
once you land to clear the roof.
The servers are
conveniently one floor down
and the ventilation ducts
give you direct access.
Check.
Sophie I mean, Miriam de
Quadros of Cayman National Bank.
I wasn't able to break into
those emails of Kurlander's.
They're encrypted, but I did manage
to get you a meeting with Kurlander
Wait.
Wait? Wait.
Wait? What?
Why wait?
He's coming out.
What about the Saudi delegation?
Call Amir, push that off.
Clear my schedule for
the rest of the week.
I'm heading to the Grove today.
[BREANNA] Well, there goes
our plan to distract Kurlander
while Parker helps me hack
the servers in the building.
- What do you want to do now?
- He's getting his phone out.
[BREANNA] Uh, okay.
If I cloned his phone,
I could get movements, itineraries,
and break those encrypted emails,
but, but I'm gonna need to get closer.
[SOPHIE] Come on, then.
Huh? Oh, uh, okay.
Oh, no. That's not the right thing.
Oh, okay.
General Frick, good morning.
Yes, sir. I'll see to it myself.
Orpheus Grove will be well-protected,
sir. I won't disappoint you.
General Frick? Orpheus Grove?
Did you say Orpheus Grove?
He's providing security for whoa!
What is Orpheus Grove? Parker?
We're about to lose them. Breanna?
Uh, I'm not gonna make
it, guys. I need more time.
- [SHRIEKS]
- [TIRES SCREECHING]
- [CROWD GASPS]
- Jesus!
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Oh, my God.
Let's go.
That's an order.
Yes, sir.
Uh, Mrs. Quadros?
Soph.
He didn't even stop.
Are you uh, are you have you
do you I just hit you with a car.
I'm fine.
I admit I'm a little out of practice.
But where I come from,
a little grifter learns
how to take a car hit
before she turns 11.
- [SHOULDER CRACKS]
- He didn't even hesitate.
- Some hero.
- [THUDS]
[SOPHIE] Parker. Nice of you to drop by.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Mr. Kurlander is not our usual mark.
Eliot, what did Paul find?
Most of it's about a mine that
exploded last year in Venezuela,
killed 35 striking workers.
Silverguard was providing
security for the mine.
[BREANNA] In these headlines,
they read like they're an accident.
"Employees of the Suarez mining company
protesting unsafe working conditions
staged a peaceful
sit-in that turned tragic
when a structural collapse cut
35 protesters off from rescuers."
I got a couple of patient files here,
Silverguard contractors
and patients of Dr. Paul's.
Oh, man, these read like confessions.
It seems that during a therapy session,
these guys kinda opened up about, uh,
planting explosives in that
mine on orders from Kurlander.
Paul hears that, he
takes it to Kurlander.
Kurlander gets nervous, sends
his guys to come get these files.
And it goes even worse.
Paul should have known
what was gonna come next.
This ties Kurlander to the
mine and to Paul's murder.
No, we've got to get close enough
to this guy to get him to talk.
What is this Orpheus Grove?
Ooh!
My favorite conspiracy theory
of all the secret society
conspiracy theories,
of which there are so many
that I actually theorize
a conspiracy theory
behind that conspiracy, too.
- One puzzle at a time, please.
- [PARKER] Right. [CLEARS THROAT]
Orpheus Grove was founded
after the Civil War
on the grounds of a plantation
owned by Confederate
General Nathaniel Frick.
Hate it already.
It now belongs to his great grandson,
General Lionel Frick.
And for the past 140 years
has served as a super-secret
meeting ground/summer retreat
for America's power elite.
Invitation only.
No women allowed, except
for staff, of course. Ugh.
And what do they do out there?
At night, in the woods,
among the trees,
rumors abound of rituals and
ceremonies, and an uncrackable safe.
A safe for what?
Who can know with those
secretive weirdoes?
Anyway, I propose, in addition
to taking Kurlander down,
we find the safe, rob of its secrets,
then burn the camp to the ground.
Oh, in.
Kurlander was worried
about disappointing Frick,
overseeing all the security himself.
This is an audition.
He'll be trying to impress.
[ELIOT] He'll be looking out, not in.
We get in, his back will be exposed.
Uh, getting in is going
to be a little tricky.
Look at this.
- It's cloaked.
- What does that mean?
Meaning there is no
satellite imaging available.
They must be generating some sort
of interference from the ground.
The closest cell tower here
is, like, within 10 miles away
in this little town
called Mills Landing.
I mean, I could get set up there
and try to figure out how
to disable this interference.
We'd be going in blind.
- Without much of a plan.
- Or an invitation.
Into a heavily guarded camp
full of evil rich dudes.
This party is just
begging to be crashed.
[ELIOT] No.
No.
Well, Dr. Paul was a doctor.
How come he had all this stuff?
Dr. Paul was a combat medic.
A combat medic is the same as a soldier.
He's just got medical training.
Paul had a gift for both,
and he saved my life once.
Really? When?
I don't know, we were
doing recon somewhere,
somewhere we probably
shouldn't have been.
Stuff I can't talk to you about.
Somebody tipped them off. I don't know.
I got hit twice.
Paul carried me back to the chopper,
kept me alive for 30 minutes
until we got to the base.
You got shot twice?
Oh, I've been shot more than twice.
Like how many more times?
- You lose count.
- [HARRY SCOFFS]
You lose count. I wouldn't
lose count. I'm not big on pain.
Yeah, well, let me tell
you something, Harry.
I met more than a few
cowards in my lifetime.
They're not the people
you think they are.
They come in loud,
they come in bragging,
they hide behind title,
behind rank, privilege.
And I don't know if
you're a hero, Harry.
But I sure as hell know
you're not a coward.
And I appreciate you
coming here with me.
[MAUREEN] Welcome.
I thought you'd never come.
Excuse me?
You are Dr. Marjorie Rushmore
of the Shacom Institute?
I'm not.
Of course you aren't. Why would you be?
I write letter after letter.
Does biological calamity
have to befall us all
before they pay the
slightest bit of attention?
You're referring to,
uh, of course, the frogs.
You're familiar with the plight
of the Mississippi gopher frog?
That's why I'm here.
- [GASPS]
- Uh, Kimberly Michaels.
Uh, I'm a Tulane grad student
and getting my master's
in environmental science.
Oh, no. [CHUCKLES]
You're an angel.
Maureen Chesterton Mills.
I'm the local historian
and the sole survivor of
this town's founding family.
And the only one, it would seem,
who sees the, the
extinction of the Rana sevosa
as the greatest threat
to our national security.
You are not alone.
I'm here to help.
May I use your Wi-Fi?
Oh, uh, yes, uh, if you know how.
And then, perhaps, you might
help me run off some flyers?
What's a flyer?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
- [BREANNA] Sophie?
- [SOPHIE] I can still hear you, Breanna.
[BREANNA] Well, not for much longer,
but once you pass the gate,
the comms will still work for
everyone inside the perimeter,
but I'll be out of reach until
I can get that cloak down.
We'll do our best till then.
[BREANNA] Also, a clone is not gonna
work for these cloaking devices.
But if I can get Kurlander's phone,
I'm betting his encrypted
emails will shed some light
on whatever happened
in that Venezuelan mine.
I'll manage. Good luck.
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Next.
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Where are you from?
[SPEAKING SPANISH] San
Bartolo, outside of Mexico City.
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Near
the ruins of Chichen Itza?
No.
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Chichen
Itza is in the Yucatan.
You mean Teotihuacan.
Gracias, señor.
[MAN SPEAKING SPANISH]
Breanna, can you hear me?
Sophie? Sophie?
Lost her.
Parker, are you there?
[PARKER] Comms still work
inside the perimeter. I'm here.
And also here.
[SOPHIE] Excellent.
Let's go have a look
around, shall we? [GRUNTS]
[PARKER] My God.
Look at this. It's like a who's who
of the country's worst
people, in caftans.
[SOPHIE] Odd fashion choice.
[PARKER] Yeah, it's like a
renfaire for men's rights activists.
Got sleazy hedge fund guy chatting
it up with Mr. Private Prisons.
One Chief Justice and two ministers.
[PARKER] Hmm, there's a secretary of
is it me, or are these guys all drunk?
They do seem fairly inebriated.
[PARKER] Sophie.
And also to be urinating
wherever they please.
[PARKER] Gross!
This isn't quite the cabal
of evil I was expecting.
The day is young.
Let's find Kurlander.
Breanna said she can work
wonders with his physical phone.
Care to make a wager?
First to lift Kurlander's
phone gets what?
Winner picks the restaurant, loser pays.
Fun.
It was worse than you can imagine.
Two things kept us alive,
my training and a
voice in my head saying,
"Forget your wounds.
These men have your
back, so you have theirs."
The edge of death is where
a man feels most alive.
Wouldn't you say, General?
I'm not as fond of talking about my
time in combat as you are, Austin.
Um, they asked.
Actually, I was just asking when
you were gonna blow the ram's horn?
Shortly, Senator.
- Ooh!
- Oh. Oh.
[SOUTHERN ACCENT] Oh, look at
that, I, I just dropped everything.
I didn't hurt you, did I?
Ma'am, four-star generals
don't bruise very easily.
Are, are you all right?
Pick those up and be more careful.
This is Orpheus Grove,
staff are hired to be
efficient and invisible.
I'll fetch fresh linens right away.
But please, sir, I cannot lose this job.
I don't know what I'd do.
First, little Roscoe and now this.
Austin, sometimes there's more honor
in showing humanity
than talking about it.
And you are not gonna
lose this job, I promise.
Are you acquainted with
the gentleman in charge?
Madam, I am the gentleman in charge.
Ohh.
[BLOWS HORN]
[ALL CHANTING]
[GROANS]
Orpheans, as many of you know,
my great-great grandfather
founded this society
140 years ago
to provide a haven for men
of industry to come together,
to set aside the
business of everyday life,
away from prying eyes,
and to indulge in the rhythms of
nature and the fellowship of men.
Gentlemen, I welcome
you back to the Grove.
[ALL CHANTING]
This is the weirdest
thing I've ever seen.
Per tradition, to promote
the fraternity among members
and to eliminate distraction,
all phones, tablets, and computers
will be placed under lock and key
inside the big tree for the
duration of your time here.
Please pass them forward now.
My safe in the tree?!
Our little wager just got
a little more complicated.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Everything just got more complicated.
[GRUNTS]
[PANTING]
Hola, amigo.
Son of a bitch, I thought you were dead.
It's Paul. Dr. not dead Paul.
Ooh, that is a twist.
- How?
- Um, explosives at the center,
we wired them to blow up
after the building was empty.
Kurlander is not who
who you think he is.
I know about the mine.
It's not just the mine.
It's all built on a lie.
That mission on the bridge,
it got hot.
Kurlander froze and
four guys got killed.
After, he gave me a choice.
Write it up the way it went
down, or tell another story.
And if we told another story
He would take care of you.
And you did it?
Did you did you do it?
He got a Silver Star.
And I got the clinic.
And you couldn't tell me.
I hooked up with those guys
after everything we went through.
Things got dark.
I just followed the
wound in front of me.
When he offered to pay for the clinic,
I thought the ends justified the means.
I could help a lot of guys.
But he just got more and more powerful,
hurting more and more people.
- Time to take him out.
- No, no. Why, why didn't you tell me?
Me?
You wouldn't have lied.
Stolen valor?
I was ashamed that I did.
I'm sorry, Eliot.
Come here.
Okay.
Hi. I'm Harry. I'm with him.
Glad you're not dead. What do we do now?
We get Kurlander.
Not like that.
- Sophie?
- [SOPHIE] I'm here.
Okay. Kurlander needs to be discredited.
The General reprimanded
him for lacking honor.
If we can get him to
confess to stolen valor
in front of a specific audience,
then he stands to lose both
his benefactor and his army.
- [PARKER] Any ideas?
- I'm still working on it.
Eliot, I'll prime Kurlander.
You take out as many of
his guards as you can.
And Parker, three men
are wearing three keys
that open three locks to
a heavily guarded safe.
I could kiss you.
Breanna, do we have you yet?
[BREANNA] Uh, just joined.
Okay. So, the cloak is lifted
and I have signals
and images on you all.
Bet you guys didn't know
that you are standing
on the only remaining spawning ground
of the endangered
Mississippi gopher frog.
And their immune system
may hold the secret for
eliminating bacterial infections.
I mean, I am learning a lot here.
Kimberly Michaels, you
really are an answered prayer.
Where did you get all
of these volunteers from?
The internet.
I, I posted your flyers where
more people could see them.
Ms. Mills, there's a local
news reporter asking for you,
and we're ready to start testing
those water and soil samples.
Oh, excellent.
Perhaps we can finally identify
what's raising the PH levels.
Oh. The spawning season is crucial!
Can I have this?
[ORPHEUS OFFICER] Alpha team,
be on the lookout for foreign
objects on the trail. Over.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[ALL GRUNTING]
Whoo, that was cool!
If you guys need any help with
the next ones, let me know.
I'm ready to go.
I thought you didn't like pain.
You can tie that guy up.
Find your celebrity to
front it, and start a SPAC.
With the opt outs and
warrants, big upside, zero risk.
If you're first in, your first out.
[SNIFFS] Ohh
We held that bridge for a week.
A week.
Braddock, grab me another walkie.
What's happening out there?
Quiet. Not a word.
Double the perimeter patrols anyway.
It's good optics for the guests
to see us looking vigilant.
Yes, sir.
[SOPHIE, SOUTHERN ACCENT] Do not
tell me this is your idea of clean.
This is Orpheus Grove.
[SOUTHERN ACCENT]
Well, I'm sorry, missus.
Staff here are hired to
be efficient and invisible.
These are the most powerful men.
You have to show them
the respect they deserve.
[PARKER SOBBING]
Oh, Mr. Kurlander,
I'm so sorry you had to hear that.
As you can see, I took
your words to heart.
Excellent. I like that.
I couldn't help overhearing earlier.
You were talking of
your heroic exploits.
I so admire your courage.
Thank you.
I don't often speak
about my role in the war.
Reliving it must be so harrowing.
It is. Hmm.
I was about to do a perimeter check.
- Care to join me?
- Well, I'd be honored.
We were pinned down on that bridge.
It was the hottest day of the year
and my men were under heavy fire.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
[ORPHEUS OFFICER] Bravo
team, we've lost Alpha.
Keep on the lookout
for anything suspicious.
[GRUNTING]
[ALL GRUNTING]
Nice move.
Thank you.
You call that pressure?
Is that the best you can do?
[SCREAMS]
All right. Where's Harry?
Where's my ghillie suit?
[VIOLIN PLAYING]
[CLARINET PLAYING]
- [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
- [LIVELY MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHEERING]
Ooh. [CHUCKLES]
[ALL CHEERING]
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
I said to myself, forget your wounds.
These men have your
back, so you have theirs.
- Now, two things were
- [BRADDOCK] Sir,
we're not getting Alpha or
Bravo teams on the radio.
Something's up.
- I saw her in the building.
- Enact red level protocols.
Yes, sir.
Join me.
I think you'll find
this quite fascinating.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Give us a 10.
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
- [SOUTHERN ACCENT] Wow.
- Mm, for a rural camp,
our security system
is quite sophisticated.
You see, I pride myself
on attention to detail.
It's the cornerstone of my success.
I don't miss much.
So
who the hell are you?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
You were outside my
office, and now you're here.
Who are you?
[BOLIVIAN ACCENT] "Attention to detail
is the cornerstone of my success."
No wonder your house is crumbling.
Special agent Nina Velasquez
of SEBIN, Bolivarian Security Service,
here on behalf of Suarez Mining, Inc.
My employers are concerned.
That's handled.
The two contractors have been redeployed
and the doctor has been dealt with.
Si.
You dealt with the doctor
and you summoned a demon.
The doctor was friends
with Eliot Spencer.
I can see by the blood
draining from your face
that you are familiar with Mr. Spencer.
Your Alpha and Bravo teams
are MIA because he's here now,
an avenging angel of death
unleashed by your carelessness.
The man shows no mercy.
He feels no pain.
He never tires. He
Sir, we found this man
in the woods unarmed.
He won't talk, but we still
can't reach Alpha or Bravo teams.
It's like they disappeared.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
So, the infamous Eliot Spencer.
Excuse me, sir. Sir?
May I direct your
attention to the plaque?
There's no urinating
near the big tree
[GROANING]
Ha!
[GRUNTS] Ooh.
[GRUNTS] [GASPS]
You have to turn all three at once.
Hey, fella, wanna lend me a hand?
[GROWLS]
[AUSTIN WHISTLES]
Eliot Spencer, I tried
to hire you, twice.
You never responded.
I understand you and
Paul Orozco were close.
Killing him hurt, as you can imagine.
I say "imagine" because
I hear you feel no pain.
[BOLIVIAN ACCENT] Stop.
He's toying with you.
Why do you think he gave himself up?
He already broke into your safe.
And why would he do that?
To get the phones of
the most powerful men
in the country to discredit you.
You're the security.
Is she right?
[GRUNTS]
[CHUCKLES]
[IMITATING ELIOT] I'll tell
you something, Kurlander.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
I've known a lot of cowards in my time.
They aren't always
who you think they are.
Mostly they come loud
and they come bragging,
hiding behind title,
rank, and privilege.
I don't know if you're a
hero, Kurlander [SNIFFS]
but I know when I smell a coward.
I might be a coward.
But that's why I have an army.
Kill him when I leave.
You're coming with me. Let's
go take a look at that safe.
[SHRIEKS]
[LAUGHS]
[IMITATING ELIOT] Oh,
is this the kind of thing
you boys thought you'd be doing
when you joined Silverguard?
It's nothing personal.
They're Kurlander's orders.
Do you know there's a code of conduct
that exists among men of valor?
I mean,
the world is not all
sunshine and rainbows.
It's a mean and nasty place.
And I don't care how tough you are,
it'll beat you down to the ground
and keep you there
permanently if you let it.
You, me,
nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain't about how hard you hit,
it's about how hard you can get hit
and keep on moving forward, because
Is that from Rocky ?
[ALL GRUNTING]
[SIGH OF RELIEF]
[ALL GRUNTING]
[LAUGHS]
I got one like that.
What the hell was that voice?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
He must have hidden it all in the woods.
Start searching around the
area where he was found.
- Go!
- Yes, sir.
Thanks for stopping me out there.
Physician, heal thyself.
Ain't that what you used to say?
You can't do that by killing
Kurlander or running away.
You gotta own your
part, starting right now.
[BOLIVIAN ACCENT] Señor
Suarez will not be happy.
There's no coming back from this.
Chaos can be reframed into opportunity,
a skill I picked up in
battle and I have been
Playing it ever since.
Paul, how?
You were never smart,
Austin, mistake after mistake.
When bodies stacked up,
you climbed them like
stairs right to the top.
That's what soldiers are for!
They're disposable!
They're pieces in the game
to be sacrificed for position,
just like the men that
came crying to you!
This is the doctor? You
said you dealt with him.
I'll deal with him now.
And you'll tell Señor Suarez I
did so to protect our friendship.
Yeah, that's not gonna happen today.
Uh, pardon me, General.
You didn't happen to see those guys
messing with the ram's
horn by the big tree?
They seemed a little drunk.
Holy hell. I'll be right back.
Eliot, no.
So you're Spencer.
And you're gonna have to pull
that trigger yourself this time.
Shut up. You don't know anything.
I know that even if you tell
a lie over a thousand times,
it doesn't make it the truth.
What truth?
That we stole valor.
So what?
[CHUCKLES] What was I supposed to do?
Admit that I got four of my men killed?
They were dead! They're not coming back!
We're the only ones who
knew what really happened.
And after today
[GUN CLICKS]
[PARKER SOBBING]
[SOUTHERN ACCENT] These
are the most powerful men.
You have to show them
the respect they deserve.
Mr. Kurlander, I'm so
sorry you had to hear that.
Excellent performance.
And in front of an audience, no less.
Austin, who are these people and
what the hell have you done now?
General, it's under control!
Not from where I'm standing.
My, my.
I've been waiting for
you to slip, Austin,
dancing between the
raindrops the way you do.
And now you've gone and
made a mess in my house.
I'll clean it, but it's gonna cost you.
From now on, you will dance
to the tune that I play.
Unfortunately, it means that none
of y'all can leave the Grove alive.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Now, you get your men,
you take these people out
back, and dispose of them.
Braddock, this is Big
Dog. Come in. Over.
Braddock?
[STATIC]
[ECHOING] Braddock?
[AUSTIN] That's what soldiers
are for. They're disposable.
Pieces in the game to be
sacrificed for position.
What was I supposed to do? Admit
that I got four of my men killed?
They were dead! They're not coming back.
I'm sorry, you didn't think
I meant that the General
was your audience, did you?
[PARKER] Coming down, Sophie.
[GRUNTS]
Nicely done.
[PARKER] Thanks.
I like hot dogs in Detroit with mayo.
Book the tickets.
Mayo?
Braddock! Have my car brought
around to the security gate.
The General and I are leaving.
"Pieces to be sacrificed for position."
Whatever happened to having our backs?
[FUNK MUSIC PLAYING]
I want these people
arrested immediately.
Trespassing, theft, attempted murder.
- Don't just stay there, that's an order!
- [ELIOT] What a minute.
These gentlemen are employed
under a general service contract.
- Is that right, Harry?
- That's correct.
So they're under no
obligation whatsoever
to follow an order they may
deem illegal or unethical?
None whatsoever.
In fact, being asked to commit an
illegal or unethical act would fall
outside of any confidentiality agreement
they might have signed and they can sue.
Huh.
You men have anything to say?
We quit.
Let's see if you can hold this bridge.
[SCREAMING]
[ALL] Save the frogs.
- Save the frogs.
- [MAUREEN] There he is.
That's General Frick.
He's in charge.
Maureen, what are you up to now?
[MAUREEN] We got you.
It's taken years, but I
finally have the proof.
This woman is insane.
She's been peddling
this cockamamie notion
about frogs since we were children.
And what does any of that
have to do with the Grove?
[MAUREEN] Something is killing them
during the most crucial
stage of metamorphosis.
Soil and water samples show
a high level of urea, sodium,
- potassium, and creatinine.
- So?
So that means you're
pissing on the eggs, dude.
This is a temporary injunction.
This land must be vacated
immediately pending an investigation.
You can't do this. Who
cares about a bunch of frogs?
Frogs are not your biggest problem.
Interesting thing happened when I,
I took down that perimeter interference.
It made all your walkie
talkie channels public.
[ELIOT] That means pretty
much anyone can listen in,
even local police radio.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING OVER RADIO]
And news van scanners.
has organized a massive protest
This way, General.
They're gonna have some
questions for you, General.
It's in your best
interest to answer them.
No, no, no, no. You don't understand.
I'm a hero. I'm a hero!
I have a Silver Star!
The walls of the Pentagon shook
with the arrest of Silverguard
founder Austin Kurlander
and retired General Lionel Frick.
Kurlander is now the center of
a bipartisan Senate investigation
into corruption, fraud,
extortion, and murder.
This is the way the world ends.
Not with a bang, but a whimper.
- Who said that?
- Eliot.
- Our Eliot?
- T.S. Eliot.
- Oh.
- Hey.
So, what's that frog lady
gonna do without you now?
Mm, she didn't really need me.
I think she just needed a
push into the 21st century.
Thanks to her, Orpheus
Grove is now a certified
protected sanctuary for
the Mississippi gopher frog.
Hey, hey, serious blow to the MIC.
Wait, the military-industrial complex?
Men in caftans.
And we got Kurlander's phone
along with the phones of all
the top cretins in the country.
These should come in handy.
Nice. We're gonna have fun with these.
Wait, where's Eliot?
He's outside saying goodbye to Paul.
I said I'd testify.
And once I did, I
felt the darkness lift.
Well, you carried that
weight a long time.
Yeah.
It's a pretty nice outfit you got here.
If you ever need a badass
Latino medic, give me a call.
[LAUGHING]
Well, you got a clinic to run, my man.
You should come down.
Swinging a hammer is good therapy.
That right?
Clears away the skeletons.
I know I know you
said that can't be fixed.
I'm not even gonna try.
Well, maybe I can try.
To the road we've traveled.
To the road ahead.
[BOTTLES CLINK]
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
Please, just, just stay a little longer.
This town, it's worth fighting for.
I've been working to shut
that fracking rig down.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
This is the operator
of GreenSlate Energy.
These are the guys running the study,
and all the backgrounds of
people running it, shady.
[MAN] I poured all
my money into that rig
It is time it start giving back.
- Fix it!
- We just wanna show him what fracking can do.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
