Meanwhile, a menacing pair descends upon the duo’s hometown. In 1968 Texas, a pair of wounded bank robbers tear down a highway in a car full of cash, police cars in hot pursuit. The getaway driver steers off the road and manages to shake the cops, but acciden- tally plunges the car into a river. One of the robbers manages to escape the sink- ing vehicle before succumbing to his in- juries and passing out as cops close in. Twenty years later, Hap Collins and Leonard Pine trade friendly banter while working as rose-field pickers before their boss informs them they’ve been laid off. After Leonard blows off steam uprooting a few rose- bushes, the two pals go grocery shopping, stretching their limited funds and food stamps as far as possible. Hap and Leonard’s skeet shooting session is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Trudy Fawst, Hap’s ex-wife. Leonard warns Hap not to let her break his heart again before she greets the men. Hap invites Trudy inside for coffee and reminds her that she ”gave [Leonard] hell” for enlisting to fight in Vietnam. Trudy seduces Hap and they go to bed together. The next morning, Hap and Leonard spar with boxing gloves until Leonard lays Hap out with a roundhouse kick. Hap reveals to Leonard that Trudy has asked him to join her in recovering the lost money from the river seen in the opening flashback. Trudy is unhappy that Hap brought Leonard in on the deal without asking her, but explains the plan: her most recent husband, Howard, was incarcerated for environmental terrorism. While there, Howard met the surviving bank robber from the flashback, who told him the money’s approximate location and offered to split it fifty-fifty. The robber was killed in prison. 3 Hap and Leonard Episode Guide A police officer drops off Leonard’s cantankerous and homophobic Uncle Chester, who calls Leonard an offensive slur on the ride home. When Hap has Chester alone for a moment, he warns the old man not to denigrate his nephew’s sexuality again. When Chester finds his home vandalized by young neighbors, Leonard beats the largest mem- ber of the group, warning the men to leave Chester be. Hap and Leonard stock up on weaponry and speculate about Howard’s motives. Hap, Leonard and Trudy drive to the compound where Howard is squatting. They’re greeted by Howard’s henchman Chub. Trudy introduces Howard to the guys and explains Leonard’s presence (as well as his potential value as a trained military diver). Howard is friendly but both men are put off by their host’s hippy-dippy, overly familiar manner. The team’s final member, the intimidating, heavily-scarred Paco, introduces himself as well. Howard bores Hap and Leonard with a lecture on the evils of the capitalist establishment, trying to talk Hap into chipping his share into an unspecified idealistic venture. Hap declines and the exchange gets heated, with Hap mockingly holding the unspoken fact of the previous night’s intimacy with Trudy over Howard’s head. Howard throws Hap for a loop by revealing that Trudy already told him about the encounter and that he himself doesn’t believe in sexual possessiveness. A disgusted Hap twists Howard’s arm behind his back violently til Howard cries uncle. Hap drives out to a roadside in the middle of the night and recalls a childhood memory: his father pulling over to help an African-American motorist stranded with car problems in heavy rain. A policeman approaches a sporty car parked inexplicably in an empty lot, blasting disco music. The passenger, Soldier, unnerves the officer from the get-go, and when the sounds of muffled struggling come from the trunk the cop orders Soldier out of the car at gunpoint. Soldier’s partner, Angel, sneaks up behind the cop and slits his throat. As the officer bleeds out, Soldier tells him, ”I’m looking for a man named Paco.” 4 Hap and Leonard Episode Guide The Bottoms Season 1 Episode Number: 2 Season Episode: 2 Originally aired: Wednesday March 9, 2016 Writer: Nick Damici, Jim Mickle Director: Jim Mickle Show Stars: James Purefoy (Hap Collins), Michael Kenneth Williams (Leonard Pine), Jimmi Simpson (Soldier), Bill Sage (Howard), Christina Hen- dricks (Trudy Fawst), Pollyanna McIntosh (Angel) Guest Stars: Enrique Murciano (Raoul), Neil Sandilands (Paco), Jeff Pope (Chub), Henry G.

Leonard receives distressing news about his Uncle Chester. A pair of kids out hunting scare each other with ghost stories before stumbling upon the mutilated corpse of the police- man Angel killed behind some trash cans. The boys run off, screaming. Hap wakes Leonard at the crack of dawn, hoping to slip out to the river and track down the sunken car before the rest of the crew gets up. Howard, Paco and Chub surprise the pair by returning from an early morning jog and Howard in- sists on his men accompanying Hap and Leonard to the river. A traveling bible salesman shows up at Howard’s compound, entering through the gates Hap accidentally left open. Paco throws him out. The team heads out toward the river, but Paco turns Howard’s van around to find an alternate route after spotting a police roadblock ahead. Chub explains that Paco is a fugitive, wanted for his involvement in ”the Mechanics”, an unusually violent ecoterrorist group. When they reach the riverside, Hap and Paco and Leonard and Chub split up into pairs (at Paco’s insistence) to search for possible routes to the water. Leonard abandons Chub after getting fed up with the man’s ham-fisted comments on Leonard’s race and sexual orientation. Meanwhile, Hap tells Paco he knows he wasn’t just any old terrorist, but rather the famed leader of the Mechanics, thought to have been killed during a bombing. Leonard catches up with the two and the group doubles back to help Chub out of a pit of mud, laughing at the mess. Trudy encounters Soldier and Angel while working at the diner. Soldier picks up a glass of water for Trudy after a rude patron intentionally knocks it to the floor, but unnerves her with his unnaturally cheery demeanor. Having dinner back at the compound, Howard complains about Hap and company’s failure to find the bridge that marks the cash’s location. Trudy defends Hap, pointing out that he’s only been searching for a day. 5 Hap and Leonard Episode Guide Leonard’s Uncle Chester suffers a heart attack at home alone. Hap reveals to Leonard what Howard’s sources didn’t realize: the bridge isn’t over the river itself, but rather at a nearby tributary creek. The pair get up even earlier the next morning and set out for the creek alone. After hacking their way through the overgrown woods, Hap and Leonard find the bridge, but discover that whatever body of water once ran underneath has long since completely dried up.
