Wendy ByrdeHow is your ex? Is he still in the hospital?
He is, and doing about as well as he should be. How are you and Marty?
Wendy Byrde
We're okay. We're-- We're good. We're just... We're a little disconnected at the moment.
Ah. Same thing happened to us. When I started eclipsing him professionally, he was no longer interested in me sexually.
Wendy Byrde
Oh, I'd hardly say I'm eclipsing him.
Wendy Byrde
No, we can't do any of this without him.
Few people get my client's attention the way you have.
Wendy Byrde
And should I be worried about that?
Wendy Byrde
Mm-hmm.
I'm just asking for your help.
Wendy Byrde
Actually, you're not. You're going behind my back to expressly do what you know we are not allowed to do.
Because you won't help. Do you not see a pattern here?
Wendy Byrde
You've done nothing but fight me on this. And now, now you want unfettered access to the very thing you've tried to undermine since the very beginning.
I don't want-- I need access, Wendy. We need access.
Wendy Byrde
We have made promises to our shareholders about this casino, and I don't think-- I don't think we want to annoy our shareholders.
What would you have me do?
Wendy Byrde
I don't feel very compelled to help you right now. I just had a very interesting conversation with Frank. From Kansas City.
Wendy Byrde
Hmm. And you do...you do realize what a magnificently stupid and dangerous thing it was that you did in Kansas, right?
I pleaded with you, "Please don't do this. Please do not get us further in on this." Remember that?
Wendy Byrde
Yeah. And because you didn't get your way, you went behind my back to sabotage me.
I was trying to protect our family, Wendy. That's it.
Wendy Byrde
That is such-- That is such a tired...
Wendy Byrde
...tired excuse. Yeah. You know what you like to do? You like to control your family.
I'm asking you for fucking help on a problem that you created, and you're not helping. That's the whole story.
Wendy Byrde
To you.
[on the phone] Well, you closed down the new casino, Wendy.
Wendy Byrde
I have a plan.
Plan. Yeah. Well, your plan is bleeding my money every day.
Wendy Byrde
You've trusted me so far.
I don't trust you. I trust my opinion of you. So, please, the next time we talk, I want to hear that you closed this deal, and, Wendy... Well, if you can't get what you want with reason, then...
Wendy Byrde
Yes.
[inhales] ...you'll have to get it with force.
[on the phone] Wendy. How are you?
Wendy Byrde
Better. Thank you.
It's been a very difficult time, I know, and I'm sorry that you had to go through it.
Wendy Byrde
I appreciate that.
I think you're going to be very pleased because I have been thinking about the question you asked. "What's next?" Do you know what a charro is, Wendy?
Wendy Byrde
Uh, cowboy?
A Mexican cowboy. And my grandfather, well...he was a charro, and nothing would impress him more to know that I was the proud owner of an American horse farm. And it would make a beautiful piece in the legitimate empire that you are building.
Wendy Byrde
We can certainly start to look into that right away.
I have one in mind already. The best one in Kentucky. They're expecting a visit from you this afternoon, and, Wendy...uh, this is the one I want, so...you and Marty, you must get it for me. ¿Sí?
Wendy Byrde
Of course.
Something is wrong. You're not happy.
Wendy Byrde
No, I am. Very. I just-- I just have... I just want to know... Why did you let Marty come home?
Do you not want your husband back?
Wendy Byrde
No, of course I did. We all did. It's just...We didn't pass your test.
Marty passed. I didn't know him, now I do, and you're very lucky, because he's just like me.
Wendy Byrde
How so?
Wendy Byrde
Are you really okay? This doesn't feel like something you'd get over in a day.
Well, it was-- it was hell. I wasn't lying, and I-- I told the kids that, but, um... Wendy, this might have been the best thing that could have ever happened. I spent a decade afraid of something, and when it finally arrived, it wasn't at all what I thought it would be. And I wasn't who I thought I would be.
Wendy Byrde
What does that mean?
It means you were right. Me burying my head in the sand wasn't gonna keep us safe, but I figured out what is.
Wendy Byrde
What's that?
I'm gonna turn Agent Miller. I'm gonna put her in our pocket. That's what I told Navarro. That's what got me out.
Wendy Byrde
The warrant is gonna expire in a couple of weeks. If we just wait it out, she'll be gone.
They're gonna keep coming back. That's what Maya said, that this is gonna be a long play for them.
Wendy Byrde
"Maya"?
Yeah. Yeah, that's what she said. Years. We'll never know when the hammer's gonna fall, and she's very... she's very good. [laughs] I don't know if I can stay in front of her. But if we own her... all the anxiety goes away. Wendy, if you want safety, if you want to get the kids out, this is it. You hear me?
Wendy Byrde
People...People don't just turn an FBI agent.
Wendy Byrde
So why don't we just...take a breath...
Wendy Byrde
...be still.
Don't do that. You asked me to get involved, and this is what it looks like. This is me supporting you, Wendy.
Wendy Byrde
[on the phone] Why didn't you tell me you wanted to butcher a horse?
How did you get this number, Wendy?
Wendy Byrde
This was supposed to be a legitimate expansion. A legitimate business and you've just ruined it.
The horse is still alive. I own the farm. Everything about this is legitimate.
Wendy Byrde
The horse is gravely damaged. The owner here is devastated. You've just undermined everything we've been working on. We're supposed to be partners.
Partners? No, no, no. You exist for me to use! What did you think, huh? That because you are American, you are not gonna get your hands dirty? Wendy, if I am at war, you're at war! We're not partners. I own you! And if you call me again like this, I will make sure that you remember that.
Remember in Chicago when they were like 10 and 7, and they wanted to know what murder was?
Wendy Byrde
Vaguely.
And Jonah asked, if someone's driving and they hit somebody who was walking, was that murder?
Wendy Byrde
And I said no, it was manslaughter.
He kept saying it over and over again. Manslaughter. Manslaughter...
Wendy Byrde
Why are you remembering this now?
And Charlotte realized it was "mans laughter". It was funny.
[enters the Byrde house] Where the fuck is he?! Hmm?!
Where's the man?! When you came last night and said all that fucking shit?!
Wendy Byrde
Okay, slow down. What are you talking about?
Wyatt! They killed Wyatt. He's dead! He's dead! [stammering] And, and, and, and... And I... And I know you know who did this! You... You tell me who he is. You tell me where he is. You tell me his name. Tell me!
We don't... We don't know. I'm sorry.
[Ruth becomes furious and aims her rifle to Marty]
You're a fuckin' liar!!! And I'm gonna kill you!!! I'm gonna kill you if you don't tell me!!!
[trying to calm Ruth down] Ruth! No, you won't! No, you are not! Relax!
Wendy Byrde
Listen to me! Listen to me! We don't know anyone who would want to kill Wyatt! Maybe the... the KC Mob?
This wasn't the fucking KC Mob! and they killed Darlene too! You know anybody else who might wanna kill her? Huh?! YOU FUCKING CUNT!!!!
Wendy Byrde
Okay, listen. Listen to me. I'm sorry this is happening. You need to calm down.
Wendy Byrde
No, you will not.
His name is Javi Elizondro. Okay, I'll tell you everything I know.
Wendy Byrde
Okay, look. That man... That man works for the FBI, and he runs a drug cartel. So even if he is responsible, he is not...
[to Ruth] Ruth, Ruth, Ruth. Do not hurt this man.
Or what!? Your whole fucking family will be murdered, huh!? If you want to STOP ME! You're gonna have to FUCKING KILL ME!!!
[Ruth leaves the Byrde house and gets back to her car]
[stops Ruth] Ruth. Ruth, you can't drive like this! Not with Zeke in the car.
No! You're gonna step the fuck back from me, or I'm gonna take this fuckin' rifle and blow your fuckin' guts out all over the FUCKIN' YARD!!!
ADAsshole Driver
[honking excessively]
Okay, all right, that'll do it.
Wendy Byrde
Marty! Marty!
You, asshole, get out of your fucking car and come tell me what the fucking problem is.
Wendy Byrde
Marty!
Wendy Byrde
What are you doing?
For once in your life listen to me and get back inside.
Wendy Byrde
What are you gonna do? You're gonna punch the guy?
I just might. What's the problem?
ADAsshole Driver
How about you learn how to fucking drive?
Wendy Byrde
Oh, hey, you!
Wendy Byrde
[to the asshole] Shut the fuck up. Get back in your car.
ADAsshole Driver
Bitch, fuck off.
Wendy Byrde
What?
Hey, talk to her like that one more time, I make a single phone call and have you killed.
ADAsshole Driver
What the fuck did you just say?
You heard me. Want me to repeat it?
Wendy Byrde
Get back in your fucking car.
ADAsshole Driver
Fuck you, bitch.
Wendy Byrde
Oh, suck my cock, asshole!
[punches asshole driver] Shit! [gets in a fight with asshole driver, Marty keeps beating the asshole until bystanders stop the fight, then walks off]
