Previously, on "Shooter":
Someone else is pulling the strings.
How do we know it wasn't Gregson?
The people who work for me affect real change.
People think that the deep state
is running things. It's Atlas.
There's a banker in Mexico.
He's running all the books.
What are these? Accounts? Passwords?
Atlas exists.
This is Jeffrey Dunning. He's a reporter.
There's no story here, Nadine.
You came all the way over here to tell me that?
I came because I still care about you,
and I was hoping
maybe you felt the same way.
Atlas... they're global.
They decide it's your time, that's it... it's your time.
Tio! Tio! Shit.
It's...
it's... Atlas.
You know who I am.
Mr. Solotov forgot
that invisibility
is essential to our success.
You want me to kill him.
I got your money.
And you would like
to purchase what with it?
Solotov.
It wasn't just my money
you stole.
It was his.
Swagger, if you have my money,
what are we waiting for?
Beautiful home.
Most men would be in bed, next to their wife.
You don't get to talk about her.
- I'm Travis. - I'm Julie.
Mary has her first communion this weekend.
You're more than welcome to come.
What the hell are you doing here?
If I die, you die,
and so does everyone you love.
And there is another one under the altar.
Okay, here. We're leaving.
I'll give you everything.
- Get down! - Isaac, no!
What the hell? I told you not...
I'm not here for you. I'm here for your boss.
We have a lot to discuss.
Senator Hayes.
You confident with that 19-11?
I gotta finish this,
and I could use your help.
When I have what I need, Swagger,
then you can die.
Get your ass out here, Jimmy.
This could all end without any more bloodshed.
It's all right now.
Ain't nobody else out here but me.
Is that you, Swagger?
Stop right there, Jimmy.
No need to rush things. Let me see your hands.
I ain't going back to that work house.
You're the one that reached out to me, remember?
Get your hands out where I can see them.
Jimmy...
Jimmy.
Damn it, don't!
Ah!
Jimmy!
Shit.
I don't want to have to kill you!
Shit.
Ah, shit.
Stupid son of a bitch.
Shots fired.
This is Sheriff Swagger.
I'm at the windmill off Route 39.
Suspect is down, but I've been hit twice.
Requesting immediate medical assista...
Say again, location. Over.
Sheriff, can you hear me?
Sheriff Swagger.
Sheriff Swagger?
Does the suspect have Swagger?
Unknown at this time. Over.
Well, somebody better find out.
Finally, you wake up.
I was beginning to worry.
You want something for pain?
Ah, shit!
These games are pointless, Swagger.
All I want
is the Atlas bank account numbers.
Give them to me
and all of this can end.
I pulled your staples out,
so I got maybe 20 minutes.
We're 30 miles from the nearest doctor, so...
It's gonna end,
but you ain't getting shit.
You came here for a reason.
I know.
Maybe you like the symmetry.
But Swagger,
you do not get to die
until I get my money!
Subtitles by explosiveskull
Have a seat, Agent Memphis. You look winded.
Can I have Harris here get you some water?
I'm good.
Well, perhaps you'd like
something a little bit stronger.
Cut the shit, senator.
I'm here about Atlas.
I'm sorry.
Atlas?
A covert organization that uses assassins
to shape international events and policy.
Should ring a bell, senator. You run it.
Agent Memphis, the Senate Intelligence Committee
has been investigating rumors
around the group you're calling "Atlas" for years.
There's little chance you can present anything
we don't already know.
As far as the United States government is concerned,
the organization you're talking about is a myth.
Angela Tio didn't think so.
Mm?
- And who is that, exactly? - She was a US Marine.
She was murdered today.
Well, I'm sorry to hear it.
At this point, I think you and I
both know the world to be a very cruel place.
Most of us don't get to choose
the date and time we take our last breath.
For most people, that moment is chosen for them,
especially when they get involved with matters
that are bigger than they can possibly comprehend.
Now, if you excuse me,
Agent Memphis, I have work to do,
and you should probably go get yourself cleaned up.
You look disturbed.
It's clear.
Think he'd be a better shot, even with a broken wrist.
Those aren't his. They're mine.
He clearly has a thing for you.
- Go to hell. - Don't give me that.
How'd you know he was staying here?
Because there's only two motels in town,
and he mentioned barbecue next door.
All I know is for someone like Solotov,
catching feelings isn't normal.
Yeah, well, nothing's been normal since you
walked down our driveway two years ago.
Got something.
- What's that, a phone number? - GPS coordinates.
Could be his extraction point, could be a trap.
Well, either way, Solotov might be there.
Only one way to find out.
Come on.
What happened?
He was shot. He needs help.
You need to take him to a hospital.
I'm a vet.
He's an animal.
Fix him.
Jesus.
I should not have agreed to this.
You make sure you weren't followed?
I... I don't know. I'm pretty sure.
I took two cabs and the metro.
Tell me you don't have your cell phone on you.
I do.
Oh, come on!
So how long have you been helping Hayes with Atlas?
Atlas has been a crazy rumor around town
since I was an intern.
Everything from burying Jimmy Hoffa
under a giant stadium
to assassinating the Ukrainian president,
but I never thought it was a real thing.
You work for him.
My job is to do what he says
and not ask any questions.
I'm as surprised as you.
So you finally believe me?
I don't know. I don't know.
But right after you left,
he called Gregson, just like you said.
- What did he say? - I don't know.
Good-bye, Harris.
Hey, Nadine,
I'm not some super villain, okay?
I'm... I'm from Connecticut. All right?
I've told you everything I know.
Can you say the same?
I'm protecting you.
Do you really want to know everything?
Then let's go talk to Denning.
Scan slowly, Bob Lee.
You don't want to give your position away.
Then wouldn't it be better if we laid down?
It might,
but a Vietcong bullet made that difficult for me,
so we're just gonna stay here now.
Keep quiet.
Scan those woods.
Don't you load that rifle
until you identify a target.
But what if the deer just runs out?
Well, this ain't supposed to be easy.
Earl!
You out here?
Over here, Justin.
I want you to remember this.
If it ain't loaded, it ain't lethal.
Yes, sir.
Say that three times.
If it ain't loaded, it ain't lethal.
Jimmy Poole
escaped from prison this morning.
He came into town and shot up the bank.
- He killed a guard, sheriff. - Well, let's go.
All right, almost done.
Almost done, almost done.
Almost done. He's lost a lot of blood.
Wound's probably infected.
He only needs to live a few more hours.
I don't know if he will.
Then you will come with us to make sure that he does.
I'm gonna need another bottle of betadine.
It's over there in the case.
Brown stuff.
Hey!
Run!
No!
This is on you, Swagger.
It's 150 meters, light wind.
How many do you think I put down
before they can run and take cover?
To get the money, you need the Atlas ledger.
Yeah, no shit. Tell me where it is.
They will do terrible things with the money,
and you can end it.
Okay.
These lives are also on your head.
All right, all right.
I buried it at this campsite me and my dad used to go to.
And I'll take you to it,
as long as nobody else gets hurt.
If you are lying to me,
I will visit your family first.
Coordinates are 100 yards past this curve.
All right, we'll go in on foot and take a look first.
Doesn't look like an extraction point.
Not enough ways out.
So what, then? It's a trap?
Only one way to find out.
Sh...
Go.
- You okay? - Yeah, I'm good.
- You think that's it? - Oh.
I guess that wasn't Solotov.
No, but definitely his guys.
Let's go.
Still hurts, huh?
The cast helped me fool your wife.
Pain... it was worth it.
Units be advised:
reports of multiple shots fired
at the Buckner ranch.
4-2-0-0 County Route Six.
Three units are already responding.
Any additional units in the area advise.
You're spreading them out.
As would you, if you were in my position.
If I was in your position,
I would've gotten the hell out of Texas days ago.
We both know that that is a lie.
When defeat's certain, you cannot help but
try to be the hero, can you?
Don't give me that.
I don't believe you're sorry at all!
June,
could you maybe yell at me later?
And help me get my shirt on, please?
My shoulder.
You just love pretending you're Gary Cooper.
Tough guy who always has to come to the rescue.
Jimmy Poole's on a killing spree.
All right?
I can't sit here and do nothing
just 'cause it's my day off.
If it was anyone besides Jimmy,
would you be high-tailing it over there?
Of course I would.
June...
No, you know what? He should hear this.
You should explain to him
why catching Jimmy means so much to you.
I think it's time to go feed the horses, Bob Lee.
Go on!
Yes, sir.
Damn you, Earl.
For once, I wish you'd just let someone else save the day.
I gotta piss.
Eh.
Life is hard.
It can happen in the truck or outside the truck,
but it's gonna happen.
Do not try and be a hero.
What do you say there?
Eh. You lost, boy?
No, sir. I got a flat tire.
So.
You want I should patch it?
Uh, no sir. That tire's not worth a patch
and I got four new Michelins at home.
I just need some Fix-a-Flat to get me there.
Top shelf, right behind you.
There we go.
- That'll do it. - Be $10.
- $10. - Mm-hmm.
There you go.
- Have a good day. - Uh-huh.
That old man was a greedy son of a bitch.
He's earned the right.
If the assailant and Bob Lee aren't still at the farm,
let the coroner deal with the body.
And yellow tape it and haul ass out of there.
I need more officers at the checkpoint.
All right, keep me posted.
Got a call about two men who fit the description.
Pulled into a gas station out on Old 17.
The attendant said one of the men
turned a flag upside-down.
Hmm. Military code for distress.
That's Bob Lee for sure.
Should we send additional units?
Nah, never make it on time.
Old 17 crosses right through Fisher County.
Get ready to roll.
Lucy, get me Sheriff Testa.
Sure I'm not safer in the car?
You're not safe anywhere, but I'd rather
have you where I can see you.
I'm not completely helpless, you know.
Denning said the same thing before I left him,
and now he's not answering his burner phone.
Stay behind me. Stay close.
Oh.
No.
You need to look at this.
Do you believe me now?
This isn't a suicide,
and it's not some coincidence.
Your boss did this.
Why?
'Cause Jeffrey Denning
had the courage to try and expose Atlas.
He was a good man.
A brave reporter.
I told him that I would keep him safe.
Nadine.
Nadine, I'm sorry.
Prove it.
Help me take Hayes down.
Okay. What do you need?
I need to talk to him again, but not in his office.
Uh, uh, it's Tuesday.
He has a standing lunch at the University Club.
- Let's go. - W-what about him?
I'll call it in on the way over.
Got something for me?
Local sheriffs called for a roadblock
on southbound Old Route 17 into Fisher County.
And we tracked a mobile number
from the phone you took.
It's there, too.
Copy.
Bob Lee and Solotov
are headed south on Old 17.
You know where that is?
Who the hell were you just talking to?
You don't need to know that.
Bullshit. I don't trust you.
You want to save your husband or not?
This is probably our only chance of finding him.
You know 17?
There's an old campsite out that way
that Bob Lee and his dad used to camp at,
but why go there now?
- It's time to go. - What are these?
Accounts? Passwords?
We don't have time for this shit.
We don't even know what these numbers are.
He's looking for something. Let's go.
Don't shoot! You'll hit Swagger!
You fire that, they're gonna light us up
with everything they got.
Not with you beside me, they won't.
Wait till they reach the tire strips!
Engine! Engine!
Aim for his tires!
Rear tires! Aim low!
Aim for the rear tires!
Don't move.
Is this way, yes?
It's another ten miles, at least.
Now, common sense says you should
probably just kill me and disappear.
I do not always want to be looking
over my shoulder.
I have money,
I can stay hidden.
Your husband's on the run, Edie.
Have you heard from him?
Jimmy called, but he never said
he was gonna hurt nobody, Earl.
I didn't know. I swear that I didn't know.
Calm down. Calm down.
What'd he say?
He said,
he broke out, that he was headed this way,
but he never said nothing about shooting up the bank.
What else?
That it was all some big misunderstanding
and he wants to meet with you to talk about it,
but he wouldn't tell me why.
I think we both know why, Edie.
He say where I'm supposed to meet him?
Out by the windmill at Coleman's farm tonight.
He wants you to come alone, or he ain't gonna show.
Are you gonna kill him, Earl?
Not unless I have to.
This town's been through enough already.
No one else needs to die tonight.
It is funny, is it not?
Comedy for one man,
tragedy for another.
No, no!
Don't do it! Sir!
Don't do it!
Nobody else needs to die today.
You draw that weapon, and you're dead.
Do not draw that weapon.
You stand no chance against this man.
I got no reason to lie to you.
Just give him the car
and we both get to live.
You want that ledger, you let him live.
Come on out.
Give it a toss over the fence.
All right, you go the car. Now let's go.
You kill him, you get nothing.
You get too emotional.
That's why I'm going to win.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Sheriff, what the hell happened?
Where's Bob Lee?
I don't know, Julie.
Guy used Bob Lee for a human shield,
shot out our tires, and busted through.
They headed south?
- Far as we know. - Thank you.
We're better off without them.
Gotta use the element of surprise.
Doesn't look like there's any additional security.
No, he's just gonna have the one bodyguard.
The "appointment" is with his mistress,
so he doesn't like to draw any extra attention.
Guessing you're a familiar enough face?
You don't expect me to go in there?
Man up, Harris.
Hayes thinks that killing Denning
scared me off, it was the end of the story.
But he needs to know that I am still here
and I'm not letting it go.
And what if he decides to
keep handling things the way he handles things?
What's up?
Hey. How fast can the Bureau
get a crisis response team to south Texas?
Nearest field office is San Antonio,
so 60 to 90 minutes.
But they don't just send those teams out
for no reason.
Well, find a reason.
Bob Lee is in trouble.
Solotov is about to get his hands on
Atlas' secret bank book.
If that happens, world events
are gonna go from bad to worse.
Where do you want the team?
Rock Springs Park.
- I'm on it. - Work fast.
We walk from here, yes?
- Yeah. - Which way?
Trailhead's down there.
I mean what I say.
Your wife and daughter dies if I do not get the ledger.
Can you repeat that?
I didn't hear it the first ten times, asshole.
You make it personal.
This was never me versus you.
I had the mission.
Your mission
killed a bunch of my friends.
Every man you ever killed
had a bunch of friends, Swagger.
Doesn't matter now, anyway.
It is sad, Swagger,
because you and I want the same thing.
To destroy Atlas.
Unless they put a target on me or my family,
I couldn't give two shits about Atlas.
Maybe you've forgotten about your father?
The hell you talking about?
The official report
said your father was alone when he died.
You and I both know that was not the case.
Shots fired.
This is Sheriff Swagger.
I'm at the windmill off Route 39.
Suspect is down, but I've hit... twice.
Requesting
immediate medical assist...
Requesting immediate medical assist...
Say again... location? Over.
Sheriff, can you hear me?
Sheriff Swagger? Sheriff Swagger?
Her text said she was gonna be a few minutes late.
Well, I guess we wait a few more minutes.
Hm.
- Hey. - No, that's okay.
Let her go.
She's not the one I'm angry with.
Agent Memphis.
I thought we cleared up any misconceptions
you might have had at our last meeting.
Yeah, I guess not, 'cause our last meeting,
I was under the impression that you controlled Atlas.
It turns out I was mistaken.
As I said, you were.
Yeah, it was silly of me,
'cause a person would need
a very large, uh... bank account
to control an organization like that,
at least $450 million or so,
and I just got a call
that let me know that at this point in time,
you don't control any such thing.
I came to apologize
for my false assumptions about you.
Good luck getting your banking ledger back.
I'm sorry, Holly.
This'll just be a minute. Have a seat.
Yeah, Holly, have a seat.
Agent Memphis,
there are much smarter ways
to handle a situation like this.
Perhaps we could discuss an arrangement?
Mm, I only do business
with people who have something to offer.
And you're broke.
Make sure he doesn't stiff you on the check.
Harris, you're done.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, Holly. We're gonna have to reschedule.
How'd you know I was there when my father got killed?
Oh, so you're just full of shit.
Do you think Isaac Johnson recruited you by accident?
Atlas and the Swaggers
have been interlinked since the beginning.
You're getting the money.
No need to run psy-ops on me.
How much do you think you know about your father?
Screw you.
Suit yourself.
How much further?
About three clicks.
There's blood on the passenger door.
Engine's still warm. They can't be too far ahead.
Trail's down that way.
You don't have to pretend to care.
I know you're only in this for the money.
I'd be an idiot not to want the money,
but Julie, I want to see Bob Lee come out of this alive.
Right, what if it comes down to the bank book or Bob Lee?
We don't have time for "what if's."
Where is it?
It's over by that tree, where the soil's loose.
Shouldn't have to dig too deep.
Actually, you're gonna want me to dig it up for you.
I booby-trapped it.
Thank you for the concern.
Stay there.
They'll never stop sending people after you.
Atlas does not run on loyalty.
It runs on money,
and I am about to bankrupt them.
Can you find out what the holdup is with the car?
This is unacceptable.
I hear you have money problems.
That has nothing to do with you.
The mission is still a go.
Even with all this attention?
If their eyes are on the money,
all the better for us.
You'll have everything you need
when it's time.
Interesting booby trap, Bob Lee.
Always got tricks up your sleeve.
I'm going to miss this about you.
I cannot believe it.
It was not even loaded.
If it ain't loaded, it ain't lethal.
The hell you doing out here, Bob Lee?
You hurt?
No.
Come on.
Don't, Bob Lee. Don't.
- He's gone. Shh. - It was my fault!
- He's gone. - No!
Hey! Hey!
Listen,
there's no way any of this is your fault, son.
You hear me?
We're gonna get you out of here,
and no good can come from
people ever knowing you were here.
You understand?
Nobody ever needs to know, Bob Lee.
How'd you know I was there when my father got killed?
How much do you think you know about your father?
Atlas and the Swaggers
have been interlinked since the beginning.
Do you think Isaac Johnson
recruited you by accident?
Bob Lee!
Baby!
Baby? Wake up.
Bob Lee?
Wake up.
Come here. I got you.
Here.
That's the FBI.
I could've used them a few minutes ago.
No, I think you like being the hero.
I guess somebody's got to do it.
We all know it ain't gonna be you.
At least now
the 8113 can rest in peace.
Semper fi, Marine.
Shouldn't you be going?
Where are you gonna go?
I'm gonna finish it.
Had I known you were bringing wine,
I wouldn't have had this Scotch.
I haven't heard from you in over a week.
Traveling across the country undetected takes time.
Want me to go?
No, I'm grateful for the work.
I would've appreciated a heads-up, though.
I have an appointment in this room
in a few minutes.
No worries. I won't be long.
So tell me, how did you
manage to get the ledger
without killing Swagger?
Bob Lee is willing to forget
about the ledger, and Atlas,
so long as he and his family are left alone.
Well, tell him I'm good with that.
For now.
It actually serves my purpose
to let him think we have a deal.
Hm.
What about Agent Memphis?
I'll handle her.
How, exactly?
Now, Isaac,
don't tell me you have feelings for Agent Memphis.
Just want to know your plan.
I'm having her and Patricia Gregson investigated.
We'll find charges that stick.
Now let me guess.
You want to be paid more.
I'm fine with that.
I'll double your rate.
You might want to sit down.
Wha...
I can't breathe.
You're having a heart attack, senator.
Not uncommon for a man of your age,
with your appetites.
Why do this?
This changes nothing.
The world can be a very cruel place, senator.
Most of us don't get to choose
the date and time we take our last breath.
Most people have that chosen for them.
This is who I am now.
You sure you want to go down this road?
I used to believe in the rule of law.
Atlas...
some shadow deep state
running their own government?
Laws aren't gonna stop them.
I resigned from the FBI this morning.
Time to start my new job.
3-8-1-4-8-1-7.
I just saw the news.
How should I proceed?
Yes, but I'll still need the card.
