(wolves howl in distance)
(rumbling)
(whooshing, humming)
What the hell is that?!
Who's there?! (screeching)
(shrieks)
(sighs)
Aah!
Whoa! Hold the elevator!
Please, please. Oh.
Just in time. Yeah. Good morning.
Good morning. Wait.
(indistinct conversation) That's Lawrence.
SUSAN: Wait, Lawrence Lawrence?
What? Hold on.
(phone vibrates)
(groans)
Todd I'm doing my community service.
We're not supposed to be on our phones.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. C-Can you hear me?
I'm in an elevator. This is really important.
Then call 911, not the convicted criminal
picking up trash on the side of the highway.
Why is Lawrence here at my building?
Oh, your building. Okay. This is his building.
Are you kidding me?
This is not an emergency. Todd, I got to go.
Bye.
Hey, Marg. Ah!
See?
I can do casual Friday. Mm-hmm.
I bought them just for today. (laughs)
Oh, wow. What?
Is it too casual?
No, it's fine. Your son is here.
Oh. (scoffs) Great.
What did Todd wear for casual Friday-- a bathrobe?
No, no, Margaret, your other son.
(footsteps approach) (gasps)
Mother.
Lawrence. Oh!
What a pleasure. Oh. Are you here
for lunch? No, I'm here on official business.
Oh. Go for clear. Sweep it up.
Do you have a moment? Oh, well, yes, of course.
LAWRENCE: The governor would like to speak to you
about a private matter.
She's looking for some legal assistance outside the sphere
of her normal advisors. Since she did a favor for you
on Thanksgiving... Oh, well, I would be thrilled
to return the favor.
When will the governor arrive? Right now.
Oh. Oh, my God. I'm... I'm wearing Crocs.
Hello. Hello.
Uh, what a pleasure.
I voted for you. (chuckles) Hello. (laughs)
Margaret Wright, a pleasure to finally
meet the woman who made Lawrence
the outstanding man he is today.
Might there be a more discrete room for us to speak in?
Oh, yes, of course. Uh, Francey,
uh, the governor.
Please take her to the conference room. Right this way.
(whispers): The big one, the big one! Yeah, okay.
Okay.
(smacks lips)
Please have a seat.
Oh.
Yes, of course. (chuckles)
How can I be of service?
As a mother of three children, I'm guessing
you have a general understanding of complicated family dynamics.
Yes.
It's my sister, Debby.
She's always been the problem child.
Could never hold a job, always needed money,
constantly in a mess of trouble and then
expecting me to sweep in and fix it.
(short chuckle) I understand completely.
When our grandmother died, she left her farm in McMinnville
to us. We share ownership.
I was never interested in the farm,
but Debby wanted to live there and work the land.
I thought it would be a disaster, but
Debby got sober and did it. For ten years,
she was stable,
financially and emotionally.
But something has recently changed?
I'm worried that she's backsliding.
Ah-ha. How can I help?
From what I can gather,
there's a man squatting on our land
and he's causing problems.
I don't know what their relationship is, but I need
him removed from the property,
legally, officially, and quietly.
It sounds simple enough.
(sighs) Not really.
Apparently, the man is a veteran.
Oh, I understand. That is sensitive.
Exactly. And I can't have the press finding out about this
and turning it into some sort of scandal.
I will meet with her, assess the situation,
de-escalate any conflict
and handle the eviction myself, discreetly.
Thank you.
And may I ask,
where did you get this gorgeous scarf? Oh.
(chuckles) I'm so glad that you did ask.
Nothing of note, but we did detain
a suspicious character attempting to breach.
He seems unhinged.
TODD: Yes, hi, hey. Good to see you.
Can you please tell her that I work here?
I'll handle it. You can take five. All right.
Yeah, take five. See? He is my brother.
Your fellow robots are super kind.
Where do I get one of these little
mini pincer- cutter things?
Mini Leatherman? Yeah.
No idea.
Mother and the governor should be done shortly.
This is what you wear to work?
It's casual Friday.
Wait, the governor's here for Mom?
Wow. So, should I not detonate my bomb
until after the governor leaves?
Do not joke about B-O-M-B-S'.
What, about bombs? Oh, there you are.
(laughs) My boys.
Don't worry, I'm his mother.
So, I have just had
the most brilliant little chat with the governor,
and I think we can help her out. With what?
No. No.
I don't want Todd... We-we don't...
The governor
and I... The State of Oregon...
You're speaking for the entire state of Oregon now?
...would prefer that Todd not be involved in this situation.
Lawrence, Todd works here as an investigator.
Yes, thank you.
It's the governor. My boss.
Understood.
Wow, just like that? What? No, no, Todd, it's okay.
You'll have plenty of time to get to know the governor.
He will? I will? Yes.
I've invited her to dinner.
First the mayor,
now the governor. (laughs) What's next?
I'm sure the king's coronation is right around the corner.
Oh, boy.
(line ringing)
Well, she's not answering her phone,
and Debby's not at the house.
I mean, what can you possibly do
on a farm like this in the winter?
You said 50 acres? Uh-huh.
A place this size, she could be off tending
to any number of chores.
I mean, even winterizing her blueberries.
(short chuckle) What do you know about farms, Lyle?
(shotgun blasts) (screaming)
Get down! Get down!
(shotgun blast) * *
Don't shoot!
I'm attorney Margaret Wright
and I'm here to help you.
You, you're going. Oh...
And this is Lyle Burton. Hi. H-Hey, I'm Lyle.
He works for me.
This is my son, Todd,
who clearly followed us here, but is
not supposed to be here.
Yeah, but only 'cause my brother's a jerk
and he won't let me live my life.
DEBBY: Why are you trespassing on my land?
Uh, w-we're here to help you.
Your-your sister sent us.
Your s-sister Willa.
She said...
Uh... that... She's got a bat.
I see the bat.
That-that you-you need help evicting someone.
Yeah. I do.
Wait,
these speakers--
you were just projecting the sound
of gunfire? This was all fake?
I don't want to hurt anyone.
I'm just trying to keep me and my land safe.
Safe from who?
I have no idea.
But somebody is watching me,
terrorizing me,
leaving dead squirrels inside of my house.
There's these buzzing sounds
and-and lights
in the sky. Oh, so, aliens.
Close encounters type stuff, UFOs, little grey men?
See, this is why you weren't invited. I don't even believe
in UFOs, but I am seeing something.
And do you think that this-this tenant--
the one that your sister told us about,
the one that you want to evict--
do you think that he's trying to frighten you?
I hate to think that it's Ben.
We met in rehab. I-I'm still sober,
but he hit a rough patch,
and he asked me if he could crash in my RV,
and I said yes if he pays rent,
but he hasn't. Not a dime.
Did you make him sign a lease?
I should have,
but, you know, he's been through a lot.
I would have let him stay here for free,
but I make ends meet on this farm by renting out that RV.
Did you ask him to leave? DEBBY: Yes.
He got really angry and he went off on me.
Honestly, I was afraid.
So, Ben is squatting
on your property, rent-free.
So, we've already drawn up a notice
to quit, and your sister,
the governor, has-has signed it.
Lyle, pen. Oh.
Here, I'll take the bat.
If he
is harassing you
and causing difficulties, it just makes
our job that much easier.
Yeah.
Okay. Okay?
Yeah. But when you do it,
please be careful.
I have no idea what he's capable of right now.
That's all right, I have experience,
lots of experience, with difficult people.
Plenty of experience.
They're talking about my brother.
Mm.
Then don't tell him I was with you.
I mean, since when does Lawrence get to dictate
your and my career?
I don't know, since his boss the governor
became our client?
He has a point, Todd.
Can you believe I was wearing Crocs?
Anyway, Debby is clearly being terrorized
by something or someone.
I hate to say it, but... flying lights,
spooky sounds-- is it possible Debby is imagining this?
I still think it could be aliens.
I mean, these are the exact types of places
aliens would strike.
Little grey guys with those big black eyes.
What? They're not gr... First of all,
they're tall, elongated, green.
Oh, don't be absurd. If aliens do come,
maybe they'll be like that handsome young man
Jeff Bridgerton in the Starman movie. Jeff Bridges.
And, oh, my gosh, and when he left her at the end,
and she's pregnant... (squeals) Well, excuse me.
Thank you. Spoiler.
Must be the place. Okay, if this doesn't go well...
I've got your back. I've got you covered.
I got her back. I got her covered.
She's my mom! You're not even supposed to be here.
What do you... You do not have my mom's back.
LYLE: I've got-I've got it.
MARGARET: Mr. Ben Cooper?
That's me. What do you want?
I'm Margaret Wright, representing Debby Jones.
I'm serving you notice to quit.
You're serving me?
Yes, you have three days to vacate the property.
(scoffs) Wow.
You can tell Debby
that she's a traitor,
and I'm not leaving
until I'm back on my feet, like we agreed.
Uh, hey, man.
See your patch. Thank you for your service.
What do you care?
Air Force.
Whatever, flyboy.
The fact that I served
doesn't really change this, though, does it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, pipe down flyboy. So, have you seen
anything strange at night?
Like weird lights or flying things?
What are you talking about? Now you're calling me crazy.
Why don't you go ask those weirdos Sarah and Joe.
Sarah and Joe?
Yeah, the neighbors. They're... kooky.
Probably find them at their
mushroom booth at the farmer's market.
And you can tell Debby
thanks for nothing.
MARGARET: These are beautiful.
Oh, oh, I can't believe you have them so fresh
at this time of year.
There's the mushroom stand.
MARGARET: Okay, great.
Well, there's the neighbors.
Let's go see what they know about these
"extraterrestrial" beings in the night.
Wait, these mushrooms are magic mushrooms?
Okay, now it'll be weird if they haven't seen aliens.
Hi, there. Hey.
Welcome to Pure Mind Trip.
Welcome. I'm Sarah. This is my husband Joe.
Hi. Can we answer
any questions that you might have?
Yes, actually.
It's just amazing that all of this
is legal now in Oregon.
Psychedelic mushrooms are
100% legal.
BOTH: Hallelujah. (laughing)
Hallelujah. Um...
Cosmic Morning. SARAH: Oh, it's one of our best.
It will start you on a journey to truly transform your life.
And-and you can do it by yourself,
but it's even better with a guide.
JOE: Which is also a service we provide,
if you're interested.
No. No, thank you. not today.
(chuckles) No transforming today.
Uh, I'm Margaret Wright. I'm an attorney.
And we're actually here to talk to you
about your neighbor, Ben Cooper.
He did mention that he and his landlord, Debby,
have had a tough time.
I guess she Yeah.
asked him to leave,
and it got...
heated.
And that lines up,
which is exactly why we're here today.
I hate to say it, but it probably is for the best
if he goes, uh, with that temper of his.
We need to foster a tranquil atmosphere
up here for our clients.
For the healing. For the healing.
For the healing, right.
And these guided trips-- they're on your farm?
Yes. People are
eating it up, literally.
(laughter)
'Cause mushrooms, Lyle. Yeah.
It's like the gold rush
up here. We can't grow mushrooms
fast enough. My love,
we do have a client zoom in two.
Yeah, but thank you so much for coming by.
We would be happy to help you
find your way into another world someday.
You never know what you might find...
Mm-hmm. ...inside.
Inside.
Oh, uh, thank you very much, and we will be in touch.
Okay, lovely.
Freak shows masquerading as self-help gurus?
No, thank you very much. I know,
crazy, right? They probably think aliens
are tall, elongated, green, wet. (phone dings)
I didn't say wet. They're not wet. Oh.
You kind of... Todd, I need you to go get Allison
from her volunteer work.
What? I thought you were picking her up. Well, I was,
but Lyle and I have to go to the courthouse
to get Debby's property deeds.
Todd, here's lunch. No, that's not food.
No, I... Todd.
Actually pretty good.
Okay, I'll be right back.
Looks like it's starting to snow again.
I'm gonna go get the car
and get some kettle corn.
Oh. Get me some, too.
How about I read your palm?
Oh... (chuckles) No, thank you.
I-I don't believe in that stuff. Why not?
It's fun.
We all need a little fun, right?
Oh. (chuckles) Well, um...
Okay. (chuckling) Fun. That sounds good.
Uh, but I'm only paying five dollars.
Oh, no charge.
Ah...
Someone broke your heart.
Abandoned you.
Hurtful things were said.
As they are in every relationship break-up.
Sometimes we carry that hurt
longer than we should.
It's blocking you.
Uh... that's nonsense.
I'm not blocked. Nothing is blocking me.
Here. Take this.
When you're ready,
use this charm to remove your block,
and it will bring you
your heart's desire.
Oh, um...
Thank you for your time and for this. (chuckles)
Even though it is nonsense. (chuckles)
Just gonna...
Thank you.
(honks)
Thank you for picking me up, but I did not need the honk.
Yeah, well...
Sorry, I'm just trying to deliver you
from your trash situation in a timely manner,
and now I got Lawrence on my back
trying to state-mandate my job from me.
He's trying to get you fired? Basically.
He doesn't trust me to work on the governor's
sister's alien abduction psychedelic mushroom case
in McMinnville.
That is a group of words never before strung together.
Like I'm gonna humiliate him somehow.
I mean, you're the criminal on the side of the road
picking up trash in a highlighter yellow vest.
You look insane, by the way.
Thank you, thank you so much.
That is exactly the cherry that I needed on the cake of today.
Someone in a passing car threw a full Slurpee at my head.
What? A blue one.
Also, I don't want Lawrence to know I was arrested.
Oh, yeah, sure. I'll just continue to keep your secrets.
Either way, I'm sure he'll totally accept you
for who you are, criminal behavior and all.
I mean, he just loves things
that could potentially embarrass him
and ruin his political future, so...
If he does run for governor someday,
are we gonna support him?
No. Yes.
No. Yes!
Are you joking? Are you kidding me?
Oh, my God.
You want to wear red, white, and blue
for the rest of your life?
No, I will wear Oregon state colors.
Great. Get in the car.
MARGARET: If Ben won't vacate,
we need to be prepared to evict.
So let's confirm proper ownership with the deed,
get a clear idea of where the property lines are
and where the RV is located.
This is the map of the farm.
It's expansive. Mm-hmm. The RV is located here.
Well within property boundaries. Mm-hmm.
And... here is the deed.
Okay. Well...
What is this?
It looks like somebody filed a lis pendens.
Property law terms are outside my realm of expertise.
It means someone filed a lawsuit and put a lien on the property.
Do you think the lawsuit and the scare tactics are related?
I think somebody's trying to take possession of the farm.
We need to figure out who filed this lawsuit.
Looks like someone figured out it's gonna take a lot more
than dead squirrels to scare her off the property.
Mm-hmm. Ah. (phone ringing)
Here she is. Hi, Debby.
We were just talking... DEBBY: It's burning.
Wait. What is burning?
Margaret, my farm is on fire.
Oh, my God.
Margaret, my farm is on fire!
(indistinct chatter)
(sighs) (car door opens)
Debby, are you okay?
I... Yeah, I'm fine.
Oh, my gosh.
Who could have done this? This is arson. I know
Ben has been angry ever since I asked him to leave,
but I never thought that he would do something like this.
Ma'am, are you the farm owner? Yes.
I own the farm. Why?
In the structure that burned down,
we found remnants of drug-cooking material,
as well as this metal box containing methamphetamine.
Oh, my gosh. Do you know how that got there? No.
Those are not mine. Listen, when my sister let me
run this farm, it literally
saved my life. I would not risk that for anything.
Are you Debby Jones? Yes,
I'm Debby Jones. You're under arrest
for felony possession of a controlled substance.
Uh, no, that is not true. I am clean. Wait, wait...
Margaret, listen to me. I am clean.
You have the right to remain silent.
I have nothing to do with this.
I will follow you to the station.
Don't say a word until I get there.
Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.
What a disaster. Mm-hmm.
But you bailed Debby out of jail?
Yes. Yes, of course.
But we need to get her a hotel
because she's too afraid to go back to the farm tonight.
And I had to call the governor and explain all of that to her.
It was humiliating.
I am letting the governor down.
Damn it. There it is.
Can you please file this bail release form? Thank you.
What is this? Ugh.
It is nonsense.
(short chuckle) It's a charm bag.
Some silly psychic gave it to me
to help "bring me what I desire."
Oh, I don't know.
A psychic once told me I'd meet a cop, and I did. Oh.
Well, this charlatan told me that I am blocked.
Blocked? You're not blocked. Blocked.
I am not blocked. No.
I am free to get what I desire.
And what I desire is to figure out
who is intimidating Debby and what all this nonsense
at the farm at night is all about.
And... the only way to do that
is to go back there myself tonight.
And I am brave enough to do that, and-and nothing
is blocking me from doing that, so...
(indistinct shouting)
What is going on in my office? Oh.
Oh, thank you.
I'll get Debby the hotel. The hotel.
Who is arguing in there?
You don't get to just bust in here with the governor's
storm troopers and tell me how to do my job.
Okay. I work as a detective on Mom's cases.
Not if it involves the governor. That is my domain.
Okay? Because I am the chief of staff... Chief of staff.
And everybody knows and nobody cares.
Just face it, you are a glorified butler. (chuckles)
Oh, okay. You are like a robot vacuum
cleaning up the governor's messes. What are you, huh?
What are you, Todd? Stop it!
Stop fighting. Good God, they can hear you on the first floor.
It's like stepping back into the basement
in 2001.
That was him! That was him!
That was both of you.
Lawrence, darling, why are you here?
The governor sent me to follow up.
She's upset about the update on her sister's "situation."
He can't even do air quotes correctly.
Can you please tell this laptop I'm on the case now?
All right. I am not going to be stopped
by your negative energy.
Todd. Yeah.
You would like to stay on the case
and help me solve it, yes?
Yeah. Great. And Lawrence,
you would like some answers for your boss, correct?
Yes. Fantastic.
Me too.
I am going to kill two birds with one stone.
Wait, are we the birds? We're the stones.
We're not the stones.
Are we the stones? No.
Here's what we're going to do.
We're going to go on a mandatory family field trip.
We are going to go get some supplies.
And then we are going out to that farm
and we're going to figure out what is going on out there,
so help me God.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Okay, that's, like, really, really mature.
Thank you. Well, the local police
verified Ben's alibi.
He was at an AA meeting
the night of the fire. Great.
What's going on outside, Todd-- anything yet?
No, nothing. I mean, maybe this is just a case
of mass hysteria or people doing too many magic mushrooms.
(short chuckle) Have you ever done mushrooms?
Yeah. Like, two and a half times.
Why, have you?
Yes, in college. But it wasn't any fun.
I spent the whole night cleaning a toaster oven.
Dinner is almost ready. Mmm.
Thank you, Siri.
(sighs) Todd.
When will you two learn to respect each another?
I am so tired of all of this squabbling.
I mean,
think about the governor and her sister.
They barely talk to one another.
Is that how you two want to end up once I'm gone?
No. No. No.
Well, what do you two want?
Well, I think it's pretty obvi... Ah, eldest
to youngest.
Lawrence first.
I... want world peace.
Oh, great. That's very original.
I want Clem
to sleep through the night in a regular bed. That's fair.
I want to collect
all of these beautiful colors
and put them in my pocket.
Pocket?
I want an enormous,
scratchy tongue.
What? Like a-like a... like a cat's tongue,
but not attached to a cat,
to fly over
the state of Oregon
and lick clean all the people
and all of the...
the saltwater taffy from Cannon Beach.
I want this finger
to get along with this finger.
Lawrence, Lawrence, are you all right?
What is wrong with you?
Question for you.
Did you make tea from this box?
Oh, yeah. And you drank this tea?
Yeah. This is the psilocybin mushroom tea
that the weirdo couple makes.
Mom, Lawrence is tripping.
LAWRENCE: I'm not tripping.
I'm sitting very still.
TODD: Okay. Oh.
Oh, God.
He has a fever. Here you go.
ALLISON: I mean, no, he's gonna be fine.
Um, just don't let him drink any more of that tea
and make sure he drinks plenty of water.
Oh, wow. Great professional opinion.
I could drink more water.
I could drink an ocean of tears.
I could put Mahatma Gandhi in my cubby at school.
Can you believe this?
Wow. That's our Lawrence?
Okay, Allison, you do not need to stay on for this.
You can go now.
No, no, I'm actually enjoying this.
Want to know what I enjoy?
Please tell me, Lawrence.
My freedom! Oh, boy.
MARGARET: Lawrence. LAWRENCE: Oh.
Oh. Lawrence, Lawrence, Lawrence, okay?
It is me, your mother and your sister and...
And Todd.
Todd gets in trouble, and he...
he does stupid things. He's bad.
Yeah. He got arrested. He's a criminal.
He's a criminal. I can't have criminals in my family.
I'm gonna be the governor of Oregon one day.
Yes, you are, yes.
A big, pink governor with arms. Yes.
But Todd likes to embarrass me.
He likes to embarrass me, and I... I just...
I just... I want him to... I want him... I want him to...
(sighs) I want him to...
I want him to like me.
What?
You want me to like you?
That was unexpected.
Well, of course he wants him to like him.
He's his brother.
W-Wait, wait, wait. Lawrence, look at me real quick.
Yeah. You want me to...
(loud banging) (shrieks)
TODD: Someone's pounding on the back door!
It isn't Debby. She's at a hotel.
(banging continues) (gasps)
Oh. Okay.
You go look. Don't push me.
You look. Okay. Uh...
No, I honestly... Move, please. Shh. You scared me.
(door handle rattling) What is that?
Can somebody who's not Lawrence please explain
to me what's going on right now?
Todd. Come here. Uh-huh.
Would you open the door?
Allison, you take care of your brother.
Mom, I'm-I'm on the phone. I can't... I can't do anything.
Okay.
Oh. Oh.
(both gasp)
Todd. Did you see anything? No. Don't know where they went.
Listen. Listen. (rumbling)
What is that? I don't know.
(screeching) Oh. Ow.
What is that? I don't know.
It's weird. Mom, you're gonna kill me,
but I think it's aliens.
Oh, Todd, it's not aliens. No, no, no, I'm telling you.
This is how every alien movie starts...
Todd! What?
It is absolutely not aliens.
(yelps) Oh, my God! We're gonna get abducted.
Mom, it's definitely aliens.
Wait, wait, wait. Todd, what's that? What?
It's a plane.
(whirring)
It's a drone.
(screeching)
It's getting closer. It's getting closer.
Hold on. Hold on. No. Aah! It's chasing me!
Todd, come over.
Come over here, Todd. Aah! Oh. Okay. Okay.
What's wrong with you? Todd.
(panting) What? Okay.
Honestly, Mom, I think I can take it. What?
I just need a... Oh.
Wait here. Go! You take it out.
Throw it right here. Okay.
Throw it! No, no, no. Uh...
go long. No. What?
Li-Like football. No, I'm good right here.
Get it to chase you. Todd, I don't want to go long.
Go, go, go. Just leave. Football. I want to go short.
Just go. Would you quite pushing me?!
Oh, I don't want to go long!
Come-come back. L-Like a button hook.
What?
Football!
(thud) Oh! I got it!
Oh! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
So, now we know Debby's not crazy.
Somebody is trying to scare her and us off her property
with this flying metal monster.
It sustained some heavy damage.
Yeah, 'cause I took it down with one shot. Yes.
Because you had me running long.
Yeah, 'cause I was the quarterback.
Yeah, but I was the wide one.
The receiver? (scoffs) But anyway, never mind.
We need to know who is doing this and why.
I may be able to get some information
from this severely compromised SD card.
Yeah, info like what planet is it from
and are the aliens there tall, green and wet, like asparagus?
Aspar... Oh, my God!
Asparagus.
Todd, the caterer. The...
We're having dinner with the governor
at my house in two hours. We have to go.
Oh, hey. I did that research for you.
Uh-huh. The lien on Debby's farm was filed by an entity
located in Jamaica.
What? A shell corporation named
Lucea Operating Systems. Lucea Operating Systems.
Super. Todd, remember that.
Susan, thank you so much, but I really can't talk
about all of this right now because we have to go.
We're having dinner with the governor.
And Todd, I cannot be dressed like this.
Okay, then change.
We have to go!
We're having dinner with the governor.
LAWRENCE: ...on the phone, but I want to remind you
that he is voting against
your proposal regarding decommissioning...
(mutters)
Decidedly so.
That's all right, I'll speak to him.
Thanks.
Hello. Yes.
I understand.
(whispering): No, Todd. No.
We are not starting without the governor. It's rude.
But is the governor ever gonna come back to the table?
My food is getting cold. It is always like this.
Does she ever stop?
To sit? To eat?
They hooked up a printer in the bathroom.
(gasps) A printer?
No one use the bathroom.
I'm sorry this is taking so long.
(laughing): No, no, no.
It's perfectly fine.
It's the governor. TODD: And how are you feeling,
Captain Fantastic?
I'm fine.
Yeah, I bet you're fine.
Let's not discuss it.
TODD: You don't want to discuss
the mushrooms you did? Shh. Todd.
(indistinct, overlapping chatter)
Wait, you did mushrooms? Okay.
It-it was an accident. MARGARET: Oh. Todd, Todd, Todd.
Allison, Todd, stop it.
WILLA: I'll see you. Thank you.
Hello.
What a lovely table setting.
Why don't we eat now?
Yes, yes, good. Everyone eat. Yes. Oh, yes, uh, we should eat.
Uh, bon appétit. Mm.
Uh, this-this brisket is from my caterer Cesar.
(Lawrence whispering) Mm. Oh, and the wine. The wine is
a lovely pinot.
Just, the organization...
From Willamette Valley. Uh...
(continuing indistinctly)
Well, cheers.
Cheers, Mom. Cheers.
Cheers.
Thank you. (indistinct chatter)
Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.
TODD: Uh, governor.
Cheers. Cheers.
Oh. Heavenly.
So. My sister.
Her arrest is very upsetting.
Drugs. Again.
And I need to cut her loose.
Uh, wait, wait.
I-I know this situation is-is very challenging,
but your sister did a drug test and she tested clean.
Someone is trying to take the land, or...
Or she's clean now, but last week
she was lost in a drug-induced paranoia.
Seeing things? Colors? Lights in the sky?
No, no, no, that was just the drones. I don't care.
I don't want to know. No, believe me, I thought
it was aliens, too, at first. Thank you.
But I've dealt with this before.
I can't trust her.
I'm done.
Please... Madam...
Willa.
Our siblings are the only ones
who've known us our whole lives.
They know what we've been through.
And-and they see parts of us that no one else sees.
It is worth the effort to...
accept and-and forgive them.
No.
I've made up my mind.
And I need to distance myself from her.
Can you draw up the papers separating me from the land?
Yes, of course. Yes, of course.
Thank you. The sooner the better.
(phone vibrates)
Oh. I'm sorry.
Governor, there's been a situation.
Hmm.
I'm so sorry, Mom.
But I am going to continue
to represent your sister.
I want to protect her
and her farm.
I see.
Thank you for a lovely evening.
Yes, of course.
Cesar is incredible.
Not gonna finish your brisket?
Lawrence, I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
Mother. What?
Oh, gentlemen, I had a plate for you as well,
but don't worry about it.
What the hell was that?
My gosh! ALLISON: Also, did you notice
she was wearing the exact same scarf that I gave you?
Yes. Yes. I didn't want to say anything. TODD: Hey,
in other news, Lyle just texted me some info
that he got from the drone's SD card.
He has the flight path.
What does that mean? Oh.
We know where the drone originated from.
Mm-hmm. And where exactly is that?
About a mile off Debby's farm, right here.
Okay. We're going.
Right now. Right? Now?
Yes, but I'm gonna change first, but then we're gonna go.
And show her. Okay, great, yeah.
I'm gonna finish my plate first, but, yeah, then we'll go.
What a lovely evening. Mm-hmm.
MARGARET: Are you sure this is the right way?
We are going toward the coordinates that Lyle gave us.
Yeah. This is definitely not Debby's land.
Hmm.
Why are you walking like that?
Like what?
Like a mime in a cloud-- all dramatic and weird.
You look like a mummy.
It is dark, Todd. I can barely see where I'm going.
What do the coordinates say?
Well, it should be right over...
Bingo.
Okay...
Why are you pushing me now?
Just, so, move, we both go in. Okay.
TODD: Squirrel Be Gone?
Didn't you say somebody was leaving dead squirrels
on Debby's property?
Yes. How can people be so cruel?
I don't know.
Look. Bathrobes.
What is this, some sort of weird bathing cult or something?
Whoa. Hold on a second.
Um...
Pills?
Todd, those were just like the pills found
on Debby's property after the fire.
Huh.
It's another drone.
Drones, drugs, Debby?
Wait. Hold on.
Todd.
McMindville Resort & Spa,
Lucea Operating Systems, LLC, Jamaica.
Todd, this is the company
that put the lien on Debby's property.
Yeah.
(gun cocks) Put your hands up.
Whoa! Whoa, whoa! Now.
Can-can we just talk?
Shut up! Start walking. All right.
Okay. He said shut up. Just shut up.
Faster. Yeah, we are. We're coming.
You, over here.
Okay, I guess I'm over here, right? No, no!
Lawyer lady, you tie him up. Okay.
TODD: What? Okay.
You're gonna have my mom tie me up?
Just shut up. Okay, Todd.
This is embarrassing. Start recording.
What? Just start recording. Just do it.
Oh. Okay. I'm-I'm tying him up. I'm tying him up.
Ow. I just... Loop-di-loop, this is...
Tighter! I'm going tighter. There. Okay? Done.
Put her over there. Tie her up. WOMAN: Watch your tone.
Watch my tone?
MARGARET: Oh, my God. Okay.
(whispering)
Okay. Hi. Sarah and Joe, uh, you don't have to do this.
Who are Joe and Sarah? TODD: Oh, come on, guys.
We're not gonna play the "who are Joe and Sarah" game, are we?
You just called her lawyer lady.
We saw your spa concepts on the wall over there.
You two have big dreams, don't you?
But your plans aren't working out.
JOE: What...
what are you doing? Joe didn't listen to me.
The mushrooms wouldn't grow on our land.
So, you went after Debby's property.
Well, we tried to buy her out,
but she wouldn't agree to anything.
Holy crap, Sarah. Stop talking.
No, no, no, no, Sarah, actually, maybe keep talking.
You are so incredibly annoying.
Me? Him!
Okay! Just, you don't have to gesture
with the gun every time.
Go get the tarp.
Tarp? Please.
TODD: No, no.
Please go get the tarp. No, no tarp.
What's the tarp even for?
So we don't make a mess.
Mom.
On your knees. Okay. Okay, we're serious. We're going down. Okay.
I'm sorry. Before you start all the shooting stuff, I have
one more question for you, because, you know,
I am a detail-oriented person.
I mean, always have been, and if
I don't know the rest of the story before I, uh, die,
uh, it will just keep nagging at me.
So, you couldn't grow mushrooms,
so you went after Debby's property.
That's right. Someone left a dead squirrel in her house.
But she wouldn't make a deal with you,
so, you took out a lien against her land
with a Jamaican shell corp, and then, you started
harassing her with drones.
(whispering): Help me. TODD: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, and I feel like
the squirrel stuff was taking it a step too far.
Yes, yes, a step too far.
Well, everything went sideways
because of Joe.
You don't owe them an explanation.
They're about to be dead.
What? Wait. You're not
actually gonna kill them. TODD: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Sarah.
Come on. This isn't you.
I mean, what happened to the whole psilocybe tribe vibe?
I mean, whatever happened to loving people
from the inside? Yeah, Joe. I don't want to kill them.
What do you think we were gonna do? I thought
we were just scaring them. You were wrong.
Aah! No!
Hey! (grunting)
Namaste!
Double-O-Lyle strikes again.
You okay, Mother?
That was incredible.
Could someone untie me?
Sorry that took so long, Mother.
I never doubted for a second. You're an ex-Marine.
That was awesome. How did you even know where we were?
Well, I dropped a pin to both of them on our way over.
You know how to drop a pin?
Well, of course, Todd.
Do you think I haven't learned anything from you?
Okay, well,
I guess we all have me to thank for saving the day then, right?
God.
MARGARET: Mr. Ben Cooper,
what do you know about the meth found
underneath Ms. Jones' hunting blind?
I know it wasn't Ms. Jones'.
How do you know that?
After you came to my trailer, I started to worry that Ms. Jones
was in trouble.
That's when I heard some weird sounds
out by the blind. When I went to check them out,
I saw Joe putting green bags into a metal box
right before the same green bags were found in Debby's blind.
They were out to get Debby and her land.
No further questions, Your Honor.
The witness is excused.
SANCHEZ: Your Honor, in light of this testimony
and the evidence presented, the State wishes
to dismiss the charges against the defendant.
The Court accepts.
State of Oregon v. Debby Jones
is dismissed.
Next on the calendar, State of Oregon v.
Joe and Sarah Graham.
I'm proud of you.
Thanks. Trying. Mm-hmm.
Well, we can work out a deal where you can stay on the land.
Okay? Mm-hmm.
You just have to come by my office this time
and sign a lease. Okay.
Take care. You, too.
I heard you were third battalion 25th?
Yeah.
Second Marines, Operation Matador.
We came in right behind you guys.
Right on. That was a heavy duty, uh...
Yup. Yeah, it sure was.
Uh, my mom says you've been through a rough patch.
Let me know if there's anything I can do
to help you pull things back together.
Semper fi.
Thank you. Oh, of course.
The land is yours again. Yours... and your sister's,
should you want to continue to co-own it.
Willa, I'm so sorry.
I let a mistake you made in the past
cloud my judgment of you today.
I'm sorry.
We should try harder, the two of us.
Someday, you will be governor.
A big, pink governor.
TODD: Wait, wait, wait! Hold the elevator, please! Hold.
Hey. Oh. Thanks.
Just in time. Again. Yeah.
Well, thank you again.
(sighs)
So, how was it working with Lawrence?
Uh, it was... fine... ish.
Yeah? No, it was good.
It was, um... it was actually really nice. He gave me
these little pincer scissors,
this little mini- Leatherman thing. Hmm.
So I could pince my way out of any situation.
Do you know I got zip-tied the other day?
No way. Yeah, it really pinced me off.
(laughs)
And now we've helped the governor,
which is, like, a total "get out of jail free" card
just waiting to be played.
Back-pocket it.
Okay. Back-pocketed.
("I Can See Clearly Now" by Renee & Jeremy playing)
* I can see clearly now the rain... *
I'm hungry. You hungry?
Want to maybe get something to eat?
I'm actually getting dinner with Peter.
Oh, yes, the elusive Peter.
Yeah. Okay, well, you guys have a nice time.
(elevator dings) And you stay out of trouble.
Or maybe don't.
* That had me blind... *
Now that you have that free pass?
Right. Back-pocketed.
* Bright, sunshiny day... *
Good night, Susan.
LAWRENCE: Wow. Allison was arrested.
Everything is fine.
It was a one-time thing,
and I'm sorry if this mars your record
or ruins your chances of becoming the governor
Okay. or whatever, seriously.
But I.. It's over.
I will not get arrested again. Drunk, disorderly
and done.
Please...
don't. I don't want
anyone else in our family
getting arrested again. Please.
Why did you have to look at me for that, okay?
You know why. All right,
yeah, sure. Uh,
Mom, maybe we should postpone
our bank heist then?
Or maybe just call it off entirely?
(laughing) Todd.
Okay, no more arrests, ever.
And now please tell me it's time to open the bottle of wine.
Oh, yes, but none for Allison, though.
Oh, no, wait... Mean. Okay? Just for you.
Mom, do we have chocolate? Like, real chocolate?
(indistinct chatter)
It's fine. I'm fine.
* All of the bad... *
I'm all fine.
* Disappeared *
* Here is that rainbow *
* I've been praying for *
* It's gonna be a bright *
* Bright, sunshiny day... *
Okay.
Here we go.
* It's gonna be a bright *
* Bright... *
"Whisper this.
"The white owl has flown.
"Take this morganite stone.
"It represents letting go of the past.
Bury it in the soil and move on,
knowing it is there."
Uh...
Okay.
(inhales, exhales)
Aw, this is ridiculous.
(laughs)
(sighs)
Gus. Dot, dot, dot.
Back from Seattle yet? Question mark.
Want to get that drink?
Question mark.
Send.

* It's gonna be a bright *
