Shooter (2016) s02e08 Episode Script

1 Previously on "Shooter" I think we have to figure out is who hired Solotov.
How do we know it wasn't Gregson? No, someone else is pulling the strings.
- How'd you find me? - Start talking.
Who asked you to sign your name to Zehnder's psych evals? The FBI, CIA, all the cartels.
It's Atlas.
There's a banker in Mexico.
He's running all the books for the cartels and for Atlas.
What the hell? Now Solotov can't get his money.
The more people you kill, the less safe my family is.
You're jumpy and you snap at Mary.
You're saying I have PTSD.
Run along, sweetheart.
Ow! I know who your husband is.
Well, then you know he can smoke your low-rent ass from 800 yards away with a beer in one hand.
Bo's filing charges against you.
Might want to call a lawyer.
Do I understand that Bob Lee Swagger has been drawn into this? Yes, unfortunate.
- I'm Travis.
- I'm Julie.
Mary has her First Communion this weekend.
You're more than welcome to come.
Who the hell is this guy? He's Chechen.
Fought with the separatists.
The Russians called him Prizra, The Ghost.
They gassed a whole village.
Killed hundreds, mostly civilians.
He's killing anybody who's seen his face.
[gunshot.]
I'm not tying up loose ends, Swagger.
I am burning the rope.
[explosion booming.]
[tense music.]
[gunshots.]
[indistinct chatter.]
[all murmuring in native language.]
[screams.]
[both speaking native language.]
[yells.]
[gunshot.]
Where is he? He's at the bottom of the east stairwell.
- I'm headed down.
- Roger that.
So this is Solotov? - You shouldn't be here.
- I could have done this myself.
He's too important; There was no time to send anyone else.
Okay.
Right there.
- [groaning.]
- Okay, okay, easy.
Easy now.
Come on.
Come on.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Okay.
That's right.
Welcome back.
Welcome home.
[dramatic music.]
Look, Sheriff Brown is blowing this out of proportion.
Bo's not gonna press charges, okay? If he does, you're facing felony assault.
That's two years minimum.
The guy was being an asshole, Bob Lee.
I'm sure he was, Julie, and I'm sure you know that's not the point.
You blew the guy's ear out.
And then you threatened to have me kill him.
Shit.
Why did you do this with everything we're up against? It's not like I planned it, okay? The guy pissed me off, and the gun went off.
Guns don't just go off, Jules.
Look, I told you, I haven't been doing well.
'Cause of Frankfurt? Since before Frankfurt.
I just didn't want to say anything.
Okay I feel small compared to the things that you've seen and you've done, but I'm scared, okay? I'm not I'm not me.
You are you, Jules.
You've just been through the blender a little.
And more importantly, we're us.
Yeah.
Look, we have to stop pretending like this shit is normal.
There's an assassin out there.
I'm gonna take care of him.
But I can't do that and cover my six.
I need you guys to take a trip.
I can't.
Sheriff Brown said I can't leave the county.
Well, we have to prioritize our problems.
Solotov first.
Look, Mary's First Communion is tomorrow.
We can't do that to her, all right? She's been working so hard at this.
She needs to see something through.
And after that? We'll make a plan.
[bell dings.]
Hey.
Everything you need to worry about is sitting right here.
Look, I don't want you.
I want Atlas.
You're a good Marine, Tio.
- Am I? - Yeah, you are.
And Marines don't do this to other Marines.
Somebody ordered you to cook up those mental health records and destroy Zehnder.
I need a name.
That name's all I got.
It's the only reason I'm alive.
- We can protect you.
- We.
We? The government? How do you think this started? Hey, you gotta give us a little something.
All right, point us in a direction.
Zehnder's story was true.
- Which part? - All of it.
CIA selling heroin.
The fact that Atlas sent some guy posed as a UN doctor to kill that woman.
Why would Atlas care about a drug lord's wife? Because she knew too much and she was willing to talk, like Zehnder.
So how are you still alive? Because, because I took their money.
- Yeah, now they own you.
- Well, I hope it was worth it.
It's better than being dead, okay? I had no choice.
I still don't.
And Zehnder should have known better.
He didn't have to start feeding you information.
Yeah, but when he did, Atlas told you to end it.
Yeah, well, they didn't say they were gonna kill him.
They just wanted they wanted me to help convince the newspaper that he was nuts.
- Because if he was nuts - I wouldn't have a story.
[sighs.]
[beep.]
[line ringing.]
[phone vibrates.]
Bob Lee Swagger.
I hope it's you.
Since you're calling from his ranch.
You know a lot more about me than I know about you.
Well, I know that you and Isaac Johnson made quite a spectacle of yourselves in Mexico.
So you also know I got your money.
And you would like to purchase what with it exactly? Solotov.
Keep your phone on, and Solotov will call you.
Then he's your problem.
And how do you know he'll contact me? Because it wasn't just my money you stole.
- It was his.
- [click.]
Turn that off.
Jesus.
I didn't know you were here.
What are you doing? Heading out.
Mary asleep? Yeah, she wanted a kiss good night, but I'll pop in later.
Later? Where are you going? Overwatch.
- Hey.
- Yeah? When were you gonna tell me that you've been having problems? - I don't know.
- You never really seem to have time to hear about what's going on.
Don't give me that.
You've been lying to me since we got back from Frankfurt.
You told me that all of this was over.
- Do you remember that? - I'm trying to To protect me, right? I know.
What you don't realize is I do the same damn thing for you.
You know that Mary's hiding in the bathtub with her dolls again? I didn't know that.
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
[tense music.]
Let him through! On your knees.
I said on your knees.
I'm American.
I'm armed.
Well, look here.
Doesn't look like the banditos we usually catch, now does it, boys? It's so dark out here.
We almost didn't see you, boy.
What do you got, huh? What do you got what do you got back here, huh? [groaning.]
Shoot him! Kill that son of a bitch! [siren blares.]
U.
S.
Border Patrol.
Drop your weapons.
Drop your weapons, or we'll open fire.
[groaning.]
Damn, Darryl.
How many times we gotta clean up your mess, huh? This asshole stabbed my man.
What is it with you militia guys? Get him up and get him to the hospital.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
You're also under arrest.
Oh, well, how did you like the play? In my opinion, only Brits should be allowed to do Shakespeare.
Lacks a certain authenticity over here.
And yet you came to see the show anyway.
Do I have anything to be worried about? I hear there was trouble at the border.
I'm insulted.
After all these years, you really don't think I know how to handle my people? Well, I'm glad I can still count on you, Patricia.
I'm sorry I can't say the same about you.
[engine turns over.]
Have a wonderful rest of the evening.
[tense music.]
[coyote barking and howling.]
[phone vibrates.]
Took you long enough.
SOLOTOV: Modern life is so busy.
This has to end.
It's not me you want.
It's Atlas.
Nobody else has to die.
[tense music.]
I see.
So did he even hesitate? - Who? - My former boss.
Master.
Whatever we're calling him these days.
No, he didn't.
I took his money.
He gave you up before I could finish the sentence.
So how about you give me his name? But this man, Swagger, you do not know him like I do.
His word, it means nothing.
He plays with people's lives.
Swagger, if you have my money, what are we waiting for? I'm waiting to hear what I get in return.
You get to live.
Again.
What the hell are you talking about? Do you think when I killed your spotter in Afghanistan I did not have you, too? And you did not see my face.
And after studying you for so many weeks, I felt a connection.
I thought, here is a true warrior.
Maybe he wishes for another life, like I do.
I let you live with an injury that ended your days on the battlefield.
Bullshit.
You made a mistake and now you're trying to clean it up.
Beautiful family.
Beautiful home.
And you cannot stop chasing a ghost.
Most men would be in bed next to their wife.
You don't get to talk about her.
Yes.
Best to pretend she is not involved, is it not? She is in bed sound asleep, I hope.
And you're in a high position 75 yards east of your barn.
Yeah, I had you down to three positions.
Factoring in that I broke your wrist, I figure you're hunkered down next to those water towers in a place you could steady yourself.
610 yards to the front door.
Relative elevation isn't much.
Maybe 15 feet.
Swagger, you understand that this is the way I want it to end.
Not as long as I have the money that buys your freedom.
I can take everything from you.
Do not forget it.
Go to hell.
[buzzer hums.]
Morning, sunshine.
[door buzzes.]
We used your lifeline, like you asked.
Patricia Gregson, never heard of you.
You're being extradited to Mexico.
For what? Well, you killed a man, for starters.
Says who? No one had to say anything.
It was all on video.
[buzz.]
All right, thanks.
Bye.
Okay, Cleveland office is waiting for us.
45-minute drive, and we're safe.
Who knows you're here? Come on, Tio, it's not my first rodeo.
And him? My editor knows I'm working on a story, but I didn't tell him my location, so Look, given what I know about Atlas, - I'm in as much danger as you.
- Then we're agreed.
We're all in danger.
Can we go now? You guys have no idea what you're up against.
I think I do, and I'm not scared.
- You're not scared? - No.
Oh, well, you should be.
You think this is some kind of fair fight? It doesn't work like that.
Atlas, they're global.
They're everywhere and nowhere.
All right, now you sound like Zehnder.
Zehnder was right, and now he's dead.
The decide it's your time, that's it, it's your time, and never the same way twice.
Every kill is just for you.
If it's messy, it's supposed to be messy.
Clean, supposed to be clean.
And the minute you think you're safe that's when it happens.
[tense music.]
Come on, let's go.
Estella and Mary: "In the hour of my death, "call me and bid me come into thee.
"That with all thy saints, I may praise thee forever and ever.
" Amen.
I think you're ready, little one.
That was beautiful.
I'll be back in a little bit.
You guys good? - Fine.
- We're better than fine, Mommy.
- We're amazing.
- Yes, you are.
You are amazing, and it makes me very happy, mouse.
Estella, I'm very grateful for you.
- Thank you for - No need, Julie.
I understand.
- Okay.
- Mommy! Yes, sweetie? I saw the police car here.
Is everything okay? Yeah, don't worry.
Everything's gonna be just fine very soon, okay? - Okay.
- Love you.
- Bye.
- Bye, sweetie.
Come on.
[tense music.]
[engine turns over.]
There's your ride.
Those look like Mexican cops to you? They had the correct paperwork.
All I know is you're not our problem anymore.
You know who I am.
I'm sorry Miss Gregson was so unaccommodating.
But I do think I'm much more suited to help you than she is.
[tense music.]
A bit more civilized than when we met, isn't it? What do you want with me? I don't know that we need to jump into what I want from you.
I'd rather start with what I've given you.
Life, for example.
So all the charges are dropped? "Dropped" is such a technical term.
We tend to operate a bit farther outside the margins.
So I'm still not free? Well, it depends on how you look at it.
You're not a prisoner; You're not a fugitive.
But you're right, the life I've given you belongs to me.
And what do you want me to do with it? You have nothing, by design of course.
No home, no family, no country.
You don't exist.
But here am I.
Mm.
Here are we.
And who is "we"? We are Atlas.
You will have unlimited funding, unlimited weaponry, but you must free yourself of emotion, of loyalty, of anger.
Russians beat us to our knees.
Slaughter us when we try to stand up.
My father, mother, my wife, unborn child.
My loyalty is with my people.
I will never let go of that.
You think revolution is about men and bullets.
Revolution is like everything else.
It's about money.
And you will give me revolution? Well, you'll become a different sort of soldier.
You'll put in your time, and one day We'll talk revolution.
But your anger, it hasn't served you well.
There's no place for it in this organization.
Our mission is much too important.
To be the invisible hand that maintains order in a chaotic world.
Mr.
Solotov forgot that invisibility is essential to our success.
You want me to kill him.
What happened to your wife, Mr.
Johnson, was not my doing.
It was Solotov's doing.
We may not have a moral code in a traditional sense, but there are rules.
We don't kill indiscriminately.
How do I know that is true? [scoffs.]
I will earn your trust.
You will earn mine.
[chuckles.]
I assume there is only one answer here.
How do I find him? Find Bob Lee Swagger, you'll find Solotov.
[grunting, yelling.]
[gunshot.]
[gentle music.]
I figure you're hunkered down next to those water towers in a place you can steady yourself.
[phone vibrates.]
Hey, what's the latest? Solotov was set up in my backyard last night.
Is he alive to talk about it? He is, and now that I know he's here, Julie and Mary are gonna go on a trip.
I'm not gonna say where over the phone.
Yeah, I understand.
I can have agents I trust meet them You're the only agent I trust.
It has to be you.
You got it.
Let me know where to be.
Thanks.
[tense music.]
- Hi.
- What the hell do you want? Look, I'm know I'm not supposed to be here.
Just hear me out, all right? I brought you something.
I know you like to go to the range, so I thought you'd appreciate this.
It's a 1911 that Earl Swagger carried.
It's a peace offering.
I want you to keep it.
Wow.
Genuine article from a genuine war hero.
Bob Lee keeps it in great shape.
Ain't that something? If you know who Earl Swagger is, you know who Bob Lee is, then you know the story.
Look, my family has been through hell lately.
I can't go to jail.
It would break my daughter, all right? And honestly, it would break me.
Well, I sure can appreciate that.
Thanks for your understanding.
And you know what else I can appreciate? - Two functioning eardrums! - Okay, all right If you think you can pay me off with some crusty pistol, you're lucky it ain't loaded, lady.
If I were you, I wouldn't go down this road.
Get off my property.
Now.
I'll end up owning your whole goddamn ranch before this is over.
Thanks for the pistol! Damn all you Swaggers to hell! [sighs.]
Come on.
We're almost to the freeway.
We're gonna be fine.
[sighs.]
[ominous music.]
[horn honking.]
Look at her stuff.
What? - She's too clean.
- Something's off.
- Yeah, go, go, go.
- Go, go! [tires squeal.]
What the hell are you doing, Solotov? - Bob Lee.
Hey.
- Hey.
- You look great.
- Thanks.
Is everything okay? Yeah, I'm fine, but you need to shower.
We gotta get to church, all right? I mean, Mary's already in her dress, so I have 30 seconds before she draws all over it.
Train's leaving.
- Yeah, fine, babe.
- I'm moving.
Uh, why don't you guys go ahead? - Without you? - No, no, no, no, before me.
You know how they have all that pre-stuff and Father D talks to the kids.
Please don't screw this up.
I'm getting in the shower right now.
Take your pick.
Get you all the ammo you need.
I won't need much.
We sent three men last time.
They're all dead.
I heard I got this job 'cause no one wanted it.
That's right.
He have any weaknesses I can exploit? His only mistake was thinking that he could retire, walk away from it.
Once you get on this path, you never get off.
- Hey.
- Bob Lee.
Look, you know I respect the hell out of you, but Julie can't come back here.
Sheriff has been up my ass about what happened.
I'm not here for that.
You sell any of these lately? Hmm.
No.
Why you asking? Personal reasons.
Yeah, well, I'll keep an eye out for you of course, but I ain't seen anything like that on this range.
Some guys use 'em to hold T&E mechanisms.
Works like bench shooting, but it's a lot more mobile.
Set your horizontal, vertical, lock it in.
So if somebody had an injured hand, they could use this and still stay steady on the long gun? - Oh, yeah.
- Sure could.
Does, uh does this have something to do with your wife's friend? What friend? Well, no, no, I ain't, uh I ain't seen nothing inappropriate.
I have to be clear they just hit the range together - once in a while is all - What friend, Gary? His name is Travis.
He's right-handed, see, but he busted up his shooting hand, so a T&E would do him right.
Is he 5'10", thin, dark hair, accent? Well, you got the height right, but this guy's got light hair and goatee and said he's a travelling salesman.
Why? You think you know him, Bob Lee? Yeah, I know him.
That with all thy saints, I may pray to thee forever and ever.
Amen.
My children, God called you by your name at your baptism.
And now the way to full communion lies before you.
Set your feet firmly onto this path.
Are you ready to begin your journey, trusting Jesus to be your guide? - [together.]
We are! - Yes.
Yes, I think you are.
Form a line.
[dramatic music.]
- The body of Christ.
- Amen.
[dramatic music.]
Come on, pick up the phone! Pick up the goddamn phone! The body of Christ.
Amen.
[phone vibrates.]
Shit! [tires squeal.]
The body of Christ.
The body of Christ.
You're late.
What the hell are you doing here? - Your wife invited me.
- The body of Christ.
I will kill you right here.
I think not.
And there's another one under the altar.
I've got a dead man's switch on my wrist, Swagger.
If I die, you die, and so does everyone you love.
[tense music.]
Come on.
- Why are we stopping? - All right, just relax.
That car's been behind us the whole time.
- I don't like this.
- Look, stay low.
The highway's right there.
We can make it.
Tio! Shit! [horns honk.]
Tio! Shit, Tio! [horns honk.]
Get out of here! Keep your phone on.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hold up, hold up, hold up.
Tio.
We're here.
Tio? Tio, Tio, shit! Tio! FBI! Get an ambulance now! Tio! Tio, stay with me.
Tio.
Come on, give me a name.
A name, Tio.
William Hayes.
Hayes knows about Atlas? Hayes is Atlas.
Tio! Tio, come on! Stay with me.
Tio! Tio! - You want Atlas? - That's right.
Not just your accounts.
All of it.
Money cannot buy you everything, but it can buy you - Revenge.
- Justice.
Look at me, Swagger.
Look at me.
I'm in Texas.
I hurt them most by taking everything.
And then I am in the wind.
Then perhaps Rebirth.
Okay, here.
Here.
We're leaving.
I'll give you everything.
Then you can do whatever you need to to me.
Just don't do this.
Not here, not to them.
I accept.
[tense music swells.]
- Get down! - Isaac, no! We pray, O Lord, that through these [gunfire.]
- Stay down.
- Stay down.
Need you to stay down, okay? Listen, come here.
I need you Come back here.
Can you watch her? - Stay inside.
- Stay here, don't move.
I'll be right back, I promise.
Stay here.
Excuse me.
Get up, get up.
Tell him.
Tell him, Swagger.
Tell him.
He's wearing a bomb! And there's another in the church! - What happened? What happened? - Julie, go back inside.
No, I need to know who was shot.
- Was Bob Lee shot? - It's not safe.
- Tell me, please.
- Julie Julie.
- Mary.
- Mommy.
Sweetheart, listen, we need to go, all right? - Come on, follow me.
- Where's Daddy? - We're gonna go get him.
- Julie, stay here.
No, I'm sorry, Father.
- Please - Come on, Mary.
- Can I help you? - No.
Ma'am.
- What the hell? - I told you not - Not here for you.
- I'm here for your boss.
Well, come on in.
Senator Hayes.
Agent Memphis.
We have a lot to discuss.
[groaning.]
You've lost a lot of blood.
Deep breath.
One, two, three.
[groaning.]
You all packed up, mouse? Yeah.
Is Daddy coming, too? Yes, he's on his way.
Okay, I'll go wait for him.
Okay.
[tense music.]
What the hell are you doing here? Solotov has Bob Lee.
- How do you know? - Were you at the church? Yeah, trying to kill that bastard.
I shot Bob Lee.
I had Solotov in my sights.
He was wearing a suicide vest.
Bob Lee jumped in front of him, took the bullet.
Shit.
What the hell was Solotov doing at the church? I invited him there.
I met him at the range.
He said his name was Travis, and I was just dumb enough to believe him.
He ever get near your phone? Shit.
Give me.
He tapped it.
NSA trick.
That's why he was always ahead of us.
All right, Bob Lee is wounded.
That means we're on a clock.
And Solotov took him because he needs him.
You confident with that 1911? You want me to show you? I know you don't trust me, but I gotta finish this.
And I could use your help.
[groaning.]
When I have what I need, Swagger, then you can die.
Until then, we are bound together.
[groaning.]
[music crescendos.]
