00:11:42,502 --> 00:11:44,137
[coffee sloshing]

175
00:11:44,271 --> 00:11:46,874
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I'll be right with you.

176
00:11:58,351 --> 00:12:01,054
[bell clangs]

177
00:12:02,155 --> 00:12:03,991
- Hey, you boys.
- Morning.

178
00:12:04,124 --> 00:12:05,859
- Cecil. Thomas.
- [Cecil] Merle.

179
00:12:05,993 --> 00:12:07,594
- [woman] Hi.
- [Faye] Hey, Merle.

180
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:09,262
[Merle] Look at that
pretty thing.

181
00:12:09,396 --> 00:12:10,530
How are you?

182
00:12:10,663 --> 00:12:13,700
Oh, things could be
a little better.

183
00:12:14,634 --> 00:12:16,937
Well, who knows?
Maybe your luck's
about to change.

184
00:12:17,070 --> 00:12:18,105
- Oh, yeah?
- Mm.

185
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:20,107
[Merle] You heard something?

186
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,541
You alright?

187
00:12:22,642 --> 00:12:26,880
I'm fine. Um, actually,
could I get the Wi-Fi
though, 'cause...

188
00:12:27,014 --> 00:12:29,282
Uh, no, we don't have that here.

189
00:12:29,416 --> 00:12:32,886
Oh, uh, I could...
A phone number then?

190
00:12:33,020 --> 00:12:34,287
- Well...
- Um...

191
00:12:34,421 --> 00:12:36,123
- Oh, sweet.
- Old school.

192
00:12:37,157 --> 00:12:38,792
- Thank you.
- Sure.

193
00:12:38,926 --> 00:12:40,693
I haven't seen
one of these in a--

194
00:12:40,828 --> 00:12:42,529
Wait, ma'am, this is from 2015.

195
00:12:42,662 --> 00:12:45,432
Well, things don't change
too much around here.

196
00:12:46,834 --> 00:12:48,701
- Right. [chuckles]
- [phonebook thuds]

197
00:12:49,669 --> 00:12:51,704
[rustles]

198
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:57,410
[line rings]

199
00:12:59,612 --> 00:13:01,448
- <i>Moose's Auto.</i>
- Hi there, sir.

200
00:13:01,581 --> 00:13:04,251
Uh, good morning.
Uh, this is Moose?

201
00:13:04,451 --> 00:13:06,253
<i>Uh, yes, sir, you're gonna
have to speak up.</i>

202
00:13:06,453 --> 00:13:08,088
<i>I'm having a lot of trouble
hearing you.</i>

203
00:13:08,221 --> 00:13:10,290
Um, yeah. [clears throat]
Uh, uh...

204
00:13:10,423 --> 00:13:13,827
My car broke down
right outside of, uh...

205
00:13:13,961 --> 00:13:17,030
- Buffalo Gap.
- Buffalo... Buffalo Gap, sir.

206
00:13:17,230 --> 00:13:21,068
<i>Mm-hmm. Well, uh, we're--
we're closed for church.</i>

207
00:13:21,268 --> 00:13:22,936
<i>Uh, we can take care
of it Monday.</i>

208
00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:27,774
<i>We're kind of busy, but, uh,
yeah, we can take care of it.</i>

209
00:13:27,975 --> 00:13:31,278
<i>See if we can work you in.
Where'd you say
your car was sitting?</i>

210
00:13:31,411 --> 00:13:33,780
Uh, car's, uh...

211
00:13:33,914 --> 00:13:36,516
Uh, it's just
right out of town.

212
00:13:36,649 --> 00:13:38,151
Wait, uh, Moose?

213
00:13:38,285 --> 00:13:40,287
Uh, excuse me,
I'm-I'm on the phone.

214
00:13:40,420 --> 00:13:43,190
Yeah, sir, that's...
What I mean is, that's me.

215
00:13:43,323 --> 00:13:45,458
Oh! [laughs]
How about that?

216
00:13:45,592 --> 00:13:47,660
- Yeah.
- So you the fellow
that needs a tow?

217
00:13:47,794 --> 00:13:50,463
Yes, please, sir.
It's like right outside of town
about a couple miles.

218
00:13:50,597 --> 00:13:52,599
- And I think
it's the carburetor.
- Mm-hmm.

219
00:13:52,732 --> 00:13:54,134
Oh, we can take care of that.

220
00:13:54,267 --> 00:13:56,003
- Thank you.
- Tomorrow.

221
00:13:56,136 --> 00:13:58,838
Tomorrow? Uh,
I was hoping actually

222
00:13:58,972 --> 00:14:01,474
if potentially, you know,
I could get back
on the road today.

223
00:14:01,608 --> 00:14:04,511
You mean after hours?

224
00:14:04,644 --> 00:14:06,179
[Erwin] Yes, sir, after hours.

225
00:14:06,313 --> 00:14:08,615
You kill somebody?

226
00:14:08,748 --> 00:14:10,850
"Kill somebody"? What?

227
00:14:10,984 --> 00:14:13,220
- Mm.
- You mean...

228
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:15,522
Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
This is fake blood.

229
00:14:15,655 --> 00:14:17,891
I'm an actor
and I'm just trying to get back.

230
00:14:18,025 --> 00:14:19,359
Well, long story, but...

231
00:14:19,492 --> 00:14:20,860
An actor, huh?

232
00:14:20,994 --> 00:14:22,362
You heading back to Hollywood?

233
00:14:22,495 --> 00:14:23,897
Yeah, that's why
I'm on a short schedule.

234
00:14:24,031 --> 00:14:26,033
- Kind of gotta get back.
- Well, I tell you what,

235
00:14:26,166 --> 00:14:28,668
we've got our VIP special.

236
00:14:28,801 --> 00:14:31,538
We can get you off that road
and into the shop tonight.

237
00:14:31,671 --> 00:14:32,839
Thank you so much.

238
00:14:32,973 --> 00:14:34,074
For $600.

239
00:14:34,942 --> 00:14:37,744
$600, seriously?

240
00:14:37,877 --> 00:14:40,213
Yes, sir, we gotta get you
back to the big time.

241
00:14:40,347 --> 00:14:41,814
Sir, all I have is $40.

242
00:14:41,949 --> 00:14:43,883
Son, is that your,
uh, foreign car

243
00:14:44,017 --> 00:14:45,385
sitting out a little ways
outta town,

244
00:14:45,518 --> 00:14:47,387
got the Harvard sticker
in the window?

245
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,889
Yeah, yeah.
The Prius, that's me.

246
00:14:50,023 --> 00:14:52,592
Yeah, that's a nice car.

247
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:54,527
Now you'd think
Old Moose would know

248
00:14:54,661 --> 00:14:56,829
somebody with that
educational pedigree

249
00:14:56,964 --> 00:14:59,332
is not gonna fall
for his brand of horseshit.

250
00:14:59,466 --> 00:15:02,569
I got him covered for $40.
Not your $600.

251
00:15:03,803 --> 00:15:05,872
Fred, come on.

252
00:15:06,006 --> 00:15:07,607
Let's get. [grunts]

253
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:09,276
[Erwin] Hold on. Um...

254
00:15:09,409 --> 00:15:11,711
Sir, wait, uh,
so should I just--

255
00:15:11,844 --> 00:15:13,913
Excuse me, Moose, should I
just meet you at the car?

256
00:15:14,047 --> 00:15:17,450
- [door closes]
- Have a seat over here.
Get him one of these on me.

257
00:15:17,584 --> 00:15:19,519
Oh, appreciate that, sir.

258
00:15:19,652 --> 00:15:21,521
You're welcome. Merle Luskey.

259
00:15:21,654 --> 00:15:23,090
Erwin. Pleased to meet you, sir.

260
00:15:23,223 --> 00:15:25,892
- Pleased to meet you back.
- Uh, so, $40.

261
00:15:26,026 --> 00:15:28,962
- Is that what--
- No, no, don't you worry
about that.

262
00:15:29,096 --> 00:15:30,530
Where were you headed?

263
00:15:30,663 --> 00:15:32,265
Um, I'm headed back to LA.

264
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:34,867
Ooh, old fancy tinkle town.

265
00:15:35,002 --> 00:15:37,237
Yeah. Old Tinkle town for sure.

266
00:15:37,370 --> 00:15:40,273
Boy, what I wouldn't give
to be a Harvard-educated

267
00:15:40,407 --> 00:15:41,874
young son of a gun like you.

268
00:15:42,009 --> 00:15:43,810
You must be sharper
than a snake's ass.

269
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:46,379
Honestly, no.
Uh, my dad,

270
00:15:46,513 --> 00:15:47,914
uh, he's a teacher
at Harvard.

271
00:15:48,048 --> 00:15:49,049
What's he teach?

272
00:15:49,182 --> 00:15:50,417
He teaches calculus.

273
00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:51,551
Calculus.

274
00:15:51,684 --> 00:15:53,553
He must be a smart
son of a bitch.

275
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:56,089
Yeah, no. He's definitely
a son of a bitch.

276
00:15:56,223 --> 00:15:58,225
[laughs]

277
00:15:58,358 --> 00:16:01,995
Yeah. So, uh,
where were you coming from?

278
00:16:02,129 --> 00:16:04,931
Uh, we were shooting
in New Orleans and then--

279
00:16:05,065 --> 00:16:07,834
- Faye! Harvard is starring
in a movie.
- What?

280
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:09,802
- No--
- You're kidding me!
Are you a movie star?

281
00:16:09,936 --> 00:16:11,804
- Oh, my God.
- A movie star.

282
00:16:11,938 --> 00:16:13,606
- Absolutely not.
- I thought he looked familiar.

283
00:16:13,740 --> 00:16:17,144
No. I'm definitely
not a star in any sense.

284
00:16:17,277 --> 00:16:19,346
I actually blew that
just recently.

285
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:20,847
Blew it?

286
00:16:21,781 --> 00:16:22,915
Means I got fired.

287
00:16:23,050 --> 00:16:24,451
Oh, bless your heart.

288
00:16:24,584 --> 00:16:25,985
- Yeah.
- Yeah, that's tough.

289
00:16:26,119 --> 00:16:28,288
Happens to the best
of us, really.

290
00:16:28,421 --> 00:16:31,191
Yeah. You're young,
you'll bounce back.

291
00:16:31,324 --> 00:16:34,461
Eh, I'm not quite sure
about that actually,
'cause, uh...

292
00:16:35,895 --> 00:16:38,198
I don't know,
it's just... [chuckles]

293
00:16:38,331 --> 00:16:40,267
It sucks when you love
doing something so much

294
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,670
and you're not sure
if it loves you back, you know?

295
00:16:43,803 --> 00:16:45,472
Yeah, I know what you mean.

296
00:16:48,275 --> 00:16:51,944
Tell you what, we'll get you
back on the road soon enough.

297
00:16:52,079 --> 00:16:53,680
But I got a proposal for you.

298
00:16:53,813 --> 00:16:55,515
- [utensil clinks]
- Okay.

299
00:16:55,648 --> 00:16:57,150
There's a catch.

300
00:16:57,284 --> 00:17:00,287
Now while you're waiting
for Old Moose to get off his ass

301
00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:02,389
and actually fix your car,

302
00:17:02,522 --> 00:17:05,225
maybe you could help me out
with a little bit
of rat killing.

303
00:17:06,493 --> 00:17:07,827
Rat killing, what is that?

304
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,530
Just running some errands,
tying up loose ends.

305
00:17:10,663 --> 00:17:11,698
Just here around town.

306
00:17:13,433 --> 00:17:14,834
He's a good man.

307
00:17:14,967 --> 00:17:16,636
Like... Okay.

308
00:17:16,769 --> 00:17:20,073
Good! Cecil,
what are you getting
for those yard birds out there?

309
00:17:20,207 --> 00:17:21,741
[Cecil] Oh, hell,
just put a 50 in the truck.

310
00:17:21,874 --> 00:17:23,576
Ah. Come on.

311
00:17:23,710 --> 00:17:25,412
- Let's go.
- [Erwin] Wait, right now?

312
00:17:25,545 --> 00:17:29,249
- Yep.
- [dish clatters]

313
00:17:29,382 --> 00:17:31,351
- Thank you.
- [thuds]

314
00:17:31,484 --> 00:17:33,820
[chickens clucking]

315
00:17:33,953 --> 00:17:35,021
Saddle up.

316
00:17:36,356 --> 00:17:40,160
Come on. Get this day
headed in the right direction.

317
00:17:40,293 --> 00:17:43,330
So, wait. Are we gonna go
grab my car right now?

318
00:17:43,463 --> 00:17:45,365
No, no, no, we'll
take care of that later.

319
00:17:46,166 --> 00:17:48,401
Probably gonna have to spend
the night in Buffalo Gap.

320
00:17:48,535 --> 00:17:50,270
But, uh, we'll get you
on the road

321
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:51,604
as quick as we can tomorrow.

322
00:17:52,339 --> 00:17:53,940
Help me with these
chicken crates.

323
00:17:55,074 --> 00:17:57,444
Watch out for that guy.

324
00:17:57,577 --> 00:18:00,847
His name's Chirpy.
He's got 17 kills in Mexico.

325
00:18:03,850 --> 00:18:06,253
For real? Like,
is that a joke or...?

326
00:18:09,256 --> 00:18:11,258
Yeah, that's good.

327
00:18:11,391 --> 00:18:14,294
- [truck door slams]
- Move that clucking ass.

328
00:18:16,829 --> 00:18:19,899
[upbeat country music playing]

329
00:18:24,003 --> 00:18:25,272
There you go, look.

330
00:18:25,405 --> 00:18:26,573
- Hm?
- Lookee, lookee.

331
00:18:26,706 --> 00:18:28,608
- Hm?
- Get you some of that.

332
00:18:28,741 --> 00:18:30,109
- No.
- Yep.

333
00:18:30,243 --> 00:18:32,545
- No, I'm good.
- Oh, come on, don't be a baby.

334
00:18:32,679 --> 00:18:34,414
- It's a little early.
- Don't be a baby.

335
00:18:35,548 --> 00:18:37,116
No, you know what?

336
00:18:37,250 --> 00:18:40,220
That's actually
not appropriate hygiene.

337
00:18:40,353 --> 00:18:43,055
Where in the hell
are my manners?
What was I thinking?

338
00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:45,658
- Just not right now. Jesus.
- That's more your speed
right there.

339
00:18:45,792 --> 00:18:47,560
- That's a virgin bottle.
- Yeah.

340
00:18:47,694 --> 00:18:51,063
Isn't it a bit early to be,
you know, pulling right now?

341
00:18:51,198 --> 00:18:55,902
Are you kidding me?
Somewhere, somehow,
it's whiskey:30.

342
00:18:56,035 --> 00:18:58,771
Let's go, come on.
Get some hair on your monkey.

343
00:18:58,905 --> 00:19:02,509
We got a toast
for West Texas Baptism.
You ready?

344
00:19:03,576 --> 00:19:04,777
[bottles clink]

345
00:19:04,911 --> 00:19:08,014
Barefoot in the corny,
girls get horny.

346
00:19:08,147 --> 00:19:09,516
- [laughs]
- Uh...

347
00:19:10,483 --> 00:19:11,918
- Come on now, hit it.
- I'm hitting it.

348
00:19:12,051 --> 00:19:13,186
- I'm hitting it.
- Pull that son of a bitch.

349
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,921
- I'm hitting it.
- Get on it.

350
00:19:18,658 --> 00:19:20,593
- Yeah?
- Ah, okay.

351
00:19:20,727 --> 00:19:23,296
- Yeah, I'm good,
I'm good, I'm good.
- Good, good, good, good.

352
00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:24,997
Where are you even
going anyways?

353
00:19:25,131 --> 00:19:29,302
Oh, what you might call
a "come to Jesus" meeting.

354
00:19:29,969 --> 00:19:31,604
A "come to Jesus" meeting, huh?

355
00:19:31,738 --> 00:19:34,441
Another expression is "taking
somebody to the woodshed."

356
00:19:35,408 --> 00:19:37,644
- Dunno what that means.
- Taking 'em out
in the middle of the river

357
00:19:37,777 --> 00:19:39,646
for a pants down spanking.

358
00:19:39,779 --> 00:19:41,348
That makes me uncomfortable.

359
00:19:41,481 --> 00:19:42,882
[laughs]

360
00:19:43,015 --> 00:19:46,519
[choir singing]

361
00:19:46,653 --> 00:19:49,856
[Merle] Now, we're looking
for a vehicle
driven by a dickhead.

362
00:19:49,989 --> 00:19:52,692
And I believe...

363
00:19:53,593 --> 00:19:56,796
this is it.

364
00:19:56,929 --> 00:19:59,131
See if that driver's door's
unlocked.

365
00:20:02,502 --> 00:20:03,503
[car door slams]

366
00:20:07,607 --> 00:20:08,841
Is what we're doing legal?

367
00:20:09,709 --> 00:20:10,643
No.

368
00:20:10,777 --> 00:20:12,078
- [chickens cluck]
- Right.

369
00:20:17,317 --> 00:20:19,386
- Shit, yeah, it's open.
- Okay.

370
00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:21,254
- Ah.
- [chickens cluck]

371
00:20:21,388 --> 00:20:23,256
Yup, here ya are.

372
00:20:23,390 --> 00:20:25,258
What? Wait, what are we doing?

373
00:20:25,392 --> 00:20:26,893
- I just...
- Wait, Merle.

374
00:20:27,026 --> 00:20:28,728
No, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

375
00:20:28,861 --> 00:20:30,229
- Just stick him in there.
- Oh, my God.

376
00:20:30,363 --> 00:20:32,932
- Alright, give him a squeeze.
- A squeeze?

377
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:34,834
- [chicken clucks loudly]
- Ah!

378
00:20:34,967 --> 00:20:36,869
That didn't do anything,
it just made him mad.

379
00:20:37,003 --> 00:20:38,771
Alright, lemme show you.

380
00:20:38,905 --> 00:20:40,440
Here, you just give a--

381
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:42,375
Give him a little squeeze
like that.

382
00:20:42,509 --> 00:20:44,411
- [chicken clucking]
- And like that.

383
00:20:44,544 --> 00:20:47,013
You give him another squeeze.
And just turn him loose.

384
00:20:47,146 --> 00:20:49,749
- That how you do it.
- Oh, my God, you just...

385
00:20:49,882 --> 00:20:52,051
[chuckles] Technically,
you just milked the chicken.

386
00:20:52,184 --> 00:20:53,953
Hey, you can milk anything
with a beak.

387
00:20:55,154 --> 00:20:57,056
Oh, lovely Mrs. Turner.

388
00:20:58,024 --> 00:21:00,393
Mr. Turner, farm fresh eggs?

389
00:21:03,029 --> 00:21:04,897
One more chicken.

390
00:21:05,031 --> 00:21:07,066
Alright. Grab that letter
for me, would you?

391
00:21:10,236 --> 00:21:12,104
There you go, chicken shit.

392
00:21:12,238 --> 00:21:13,640
- [chickens cluck]
- [car door slams]

393
00:21:13,773 --> 00:21:15,375
- Let's go.
- Right now?

394
00:21:15,508 --> 00:21:18,645
[church bell tolling]

395
00:21:18,778 --> 00:21:20,313
Merle, they're coming.
Come-- They're coming.

396
00:21:22,449 --> 00:21:24,617
[both grunt]

397
00:21:24,751 --> 00:21:27,086
Alright. He's begging them
for money right now.

398
00:21:27,219 --> 00:21:29,221
[truck revs]

399
00:21:29,356 --> 00:21:31,123
[chickens clucking]

400
00:21:31,257 --> 00:21:32,459
Whoo! Okay.

401
00:21:32,592 --> 00:21:33,926
[grunts, blows raspberry]

402
00:21:35,227 --> 00:21:37,464
That was amazing.

403
00:21:37,597 --> 00:21:39,599
Wait, what? Why do I feel
so good right now?

404
00:21:39,732 --> 00:21:42,735
You got some nuts on you,
I'll give you that.
Cookin' steaks tonight.

405
00:21:42,869 --> 00:21:45,071
That's definitely
not what I thought
I was gonna do today.

406
00:21:45,204 --> 00:21:46,773
- Is that what you meant
by errands?
- Yeah.

407
00:21:46,906 --> 00:21:49,075
[Erwin chuckles] Whoo-hoo!

408
00:21:49,208 --> 00:21:51,411
You got some boots
in that bag of yours?

409
00:21:51,544 --> 00:21:52,745
Definitely not, why?

410
00:21:52,879 --> 00:21:54,647
Well, I'm taking you
someplace special.

411
00:21:54,781 --> 00:21:56,749
You know what? Heck, yeah.
Gimme the tour.

412
00:21:56,883 --> 00:21:58,885
[country music playing]

413
00:21:59,085 --> 00:22:01,421
[Erwin] <i>Luskey Drilling? Wait,
I thought you were a farmer.</i>

414
00:22:01,621 --> 00:22:03,122
[Merle] <i>No, I'm a roughneck.</i>

415
00:22:03,322 --> 00:22:05,758
<i>Yeah, I mean, I kind of got
the redneck vibe, but--</i>

416
00:22:05,958 --> 00:22:08,094
<i>Not a redneck, a roughneck.</i>

417
00:22:08,227 --> 00:22:11,130
I punch holes in the earth
for oil like a badass.

418
00:22:18,237 --> 00:22:19,138
[car door slams]

419
00:22:19,271 --> 00:22:20,373
[Merle] What do you think?

420
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:22,709
This is yours?

421
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:24,444
Well, it is today.

422
00:22:25,745 --> 00:22:29,115
Hey, uh, Virgil, if you want
those chicken pens
in the back of the truck,

423
00:22:29,248 --> 00:22:31,518
- uh, you're welcome to them.
- I'll take 'em.

424
00:22:32,351 --> 00:22:33,853
- Hey, uh, Harvard?
- Yeah.

425
00:22:33,986 --> 00:22:35,321
This is Virgil Badgett.

426
00:22:36,188 --> 00:22:38,224
- We're not exactly sure
what he does around here...
- Howdy.

427
00:22:38,357 --> 00:22:40,126
...so we call him Dr. Useless.

428
00:22:40,259 --> 00:22:41,661
Come on up here
and meet the crew.

429
00:22:41,794 --> 00:22:42,962
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa.

430
00:22:43,095 --> 00:22:44,997
- Always wear a hard hat, man.
- Right.

431
00:22:45,131 --> 00:22:46,866
There's a million ways
to get hurt on an oil rig,

432
00:22:46,999 --> 00:22:48,701
- starting with those shoes.
- [chuckles]

433
00:22:48,835 --> 00:22:50,737
You gotta wear
steel-toed boots, dude.

434
00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:52,472
Get your toes
chopped right off.

435
00:22:52,605 --> 00:22:54,140
- Eh.
- Fall down,
knock your teeth out.

436
00:22:54,273 --> 00:22:56,208
Get blown up, electrocuted.

437
00:22:56,342 --> 00:22:58,478
Death can come from anywhere
at any time.

438
00:22:58,611 --> 00:22:59,646
Welcome aboard.

439
00:23:02,615 --> 00:23:04,884
- [Merle] Come on, buddy.
- "Welcome aboard"?

440
00:23:05,017 --> 00:23:08,755
Hey, here's
my new partner, Harvard.

441
00:23:08,888 --> 00:23:13,192
Y'all, uh, introduce
yourselves properly.

442
00:23:13,325 --> 00:23:14,861
I'm gonna take a phone call.

443
00:23:14,994 --> 00:23:16,996
- Okay.
- You the new guy?

444
00:23:17,129 --> 00:23:19,599
No, I sure hope not.
No, I'm just Erwin.

445
00:23:19,732 --> 00:23:21,333
- Huh?
- Er... Erwin.

446
00:23:21,468 --> 00:23:22,935
- Sherwin?
- What's your name?

447
00:23:23,069 --> 00:23:25,572
- Sherwin.
- N-never mind.

448
00:23:25,705 --> 00:23:27,273
- Hi there.
- Shay Tatum.

449
00:23:27,406 --> 00:23:29,241
- Shay.
- You ever roughneck before?

450
00:23:29,375 --> 00:23:31,678
No, man, no,
I can't say I have.

451
00:23:31,811 --> 00:23:34,213
- No, I haven't had the honor.
- His name is Sherwin.

452
00:23:34,346 --> 00:23:36,415
- [laughs]
- Erwin.

453
00:23:36,549 --> 00:23:39,519
Merle, I thought you were
gonna find me some hands.

454
00:23:39,652 --> 00:23:42,354
I'm working on that right now.
I'm on with the Equal
Opportunity Commission.

455
00:23:44,423 --> 00:23:46,358
- Nice to meet you.
- You met Big Gus?

456
00:23:46,493 --> 00:23:48,761
- Yeah, Gus.
- Up there's Carl.

457
00:23:48,895 --> 00:23:51,798
- We just call him Mule.
- Nice to meet you too, yeah.

458
00:23:51,931 --> 00:23:53,566
Hey, you'll meet
the rest of the guys.

459
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:54,867
This is Shay.

460
00:23:55,001 --> 00:23:56,569
She's my right arm,
my right leg,

461
00:23:56,703 --> 00:23:59,138
she's my driller.
She's the boss lady.

462
00:23:59,271 --> 00:24:00,773
I don't know, show him
around a little bit.

463
00:24:00,907 --> 00:24:02,542
I gotta take another phone call.

464
00:24:03,543 --> 00:24:05,244
- Okay.
- Come on.

465
00:24:05,377 --> 00:24:06,378
Put these on.

466
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:08,548
Okay.

467
00:24:08,681 --> 00:24:09,782
[metal clanging]

468
00:24:09,916 --> 00:24:11,083
Kelly down!

469
00:24:11,217 --> 00:24:13,753
[machinery whirring]

470
00:24:13,886 --> 00:24:15,488
I almost shit my pants,
what was that?

471
00:24:15,622 --> 00:24:17,456
We gotta make a pipe connection.

472
00:24:17,590 --> 00:24:18,891
Is that what Kelly down means?

473
00:24:19,025 --> 00:24:20,159
- Yeah.
- Cool.

474
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,630
- [metal clanging]
- If a pipe falls down,
it'll kill you.

475
00:24:23,763 --> 00:24:26,833
Okay! Everything kills you.
I'm gonna step back, alright?

476
00:24:26,966 --> 00:24:29,502
You guys got it though. Yeah.

477
00:24:29,636 --> 00:24:31,938
- [whirring]
- I'll be right here.

478
00:24:32,071 --> 00:24:33,806
[whirring]

479
00:24:39,211 --> 00:24:40,446
[notification whistles]

480
00:24:44,050 --> 00:24:46,085
Hey, y'all, we got company.

481
00:24:51,591 --> 00:24:53,325
Shay, let's slow it down.

482
00:24:53,459 --> 00:24:55,261
Yes, sir, slowing down.

483
00:24:55,394 --> 00:24:57,964
Merle! I'm pressing
charges on your ass!

484
00:24:58,097 --> 00:25:00,366
Felony destruction of property
to start with.

485
00:25:00,499 --> 00:25:02,368
I didn't know you went
into chicken farming.

486
00:25:02,501 --> 00:25:05,271
Don, I already told you,
this is not a felony offense.

487
00:25:05,404 --> 00:25:06,773
- Alright, calm down.
- Yeah, well I'm not
going over there

488
00:25:06,906 --> 00:25:08,775
until you have him subdued
and handcuffed.

489
00:25:08,908 --> 00:25:11,177
- He's crazier
than a shithouse mouse.
- [laughs]

490
00:25:11,911 --> 00:25:13,079
- Erwin.
- [woman] <i>What?</i>

491
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:14,947
- It's Erwin for Vera.
- <i>Who?</i>

492
00:25:15,081 --> 00:25:16,482
Erwin.

493
00:25:16,616 --> 00:25:18,985
It's Erwin Vanderveer for Vera.

494
00:25:19,185 --> 00:25:20,953
<i>Sorry, did--
did you say Sherwin?</i>

495
00:25:21,087 --> 00:25:22,021
Oh, my...

496
00:25:22,154 --> 00:25:24,824
Erwin Vanderveer for Vera!

497
00:25:24,957 --> 00:25:25,858
Jack.

498
00:25:26,593 --> 00:25:28,527
Ah, you know, I don't
wanna be a part of this.

499
00:25:28,661 --> 00:25:31,831
Well, listen, I'm not gonna
tell you your business here,

500
00:25:31,964 --> 00:25:34,200
but that's the son of a bitch
that ought to be in jail.

501
00:25:34,333 --> 00:25:35,902
He's trying to swindle me

502
00:25:36,035 --> 00:25:37,837
and he's trying to swindle
a bunch of others like me.

503
00:25:37,970 --> 00:25:40,172
- Now, Jack, I appreciate you...
- [camera clicking]

504
00:25:40,306 --> 00:25:42,341
Hey! You wanna
back off from that?

505
00:25:42,474 --> 00:25:44,210
That's Luskey
Drilling equipment.

506
00:25:44,343 --> 00:25:46,846
Okay. In 30 days,
it'll be up for auction, so...

507
00:25:46,979 --> 00:25:49,181
Thirty seconds, you're gonna
have a boot up your ass.

508
00:25:49,315 --> 00:25:50,650
[Don] Hey, throttle back, Merle.

509
00:25:50,783 --> 00:25:52,585
That's my new energy
loan officer.

510
00:25:54,020 --> 00:25:55,588
You know he's right.

511
00:25:55,722 --> 00:25:57,990
Ain't no way you can pay back
your loan in 30 days.

512
00:25:58,124 --> 00:26:00,226
You know what, Don?
I remember a time

513
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,862
when you couldn't scrape
a penny out of a mason jar.

514
00:26:02,995 --> 00:26:04,931
Much less call yourself
a banker.

515
00:26:05,798 --> 00:26:10,436
Now you teamed up with me
when I was running more crews
in this basin than anybody.

516
00:26:10,569 --> 00:26:12,104
You got fat as a cat,
didn't you?

517
00:26:12,238 --> 00:26:14,506
I choose not to live
in the past, old buddy.

518
00:26:14,641 --> 00:26:17,443
You can shove
the old buddy stuff
up your ass.

519
00:26:17,576 --> 00:26:19,578
- Alright, come on, come on now.
- [Merle] I'm not dying.

520
00:26:19,712 --> 00:26:21,213
I'm expanding.

521
00:26:21,347 --> 00:26:22,949
I got me a new landman.

522
00:26:23,082 --> 00:26:24,583
Landman, huh?

523
00:26:24,717 --> 00:26:26,753
Can't imagine what rock
you found him under.

524
00:26:26,886 --> 00:26:28,755
[Merle laughs] Harvard?

525
00:26:28,888 --> 00:26:30,222
Vera, I know!

526
00:26:30,356 --> 00:26:32,792
No, I know, I know! Okay.
And I'm not yelling!

527
00:26:34,093 --> 00:26:37,630
Oh. [laughs] You're dropping me?
You're dropping me, huh?

528
00:26:37,764 --> 00:26:40,366
No, no, no, no,
you're not dropping me!
Guess what, that's fine.

529
00:26:40,499 --> 00:26:43,302
That's fine if you drop me
because I quit!

530
00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:45,938
Hey, Merle's hollering for you!

531
00:26:46,706 --> 00:26:49,241
- I'll be right there.
- Merle really needs you.

532
00:26:49,375 --> 00:26:51,377
Okay, alright,
I'll be there in a second.

533
00:26:51,510 --> 00:26:54,280
- Oh, shit. Don't have to be
so rude about it.
- Sorry!

534
00:26:54,413 --> 00:26:56,615
You heard of Harvard?

535
00:26:56,749 --> 00:26:59,585
Chad went to Taylor County
Community College.

536
00:26:59,719 --> 00:27:01,988
- Harvard, get over here.
- [breathes deeply]

537
00:27:02,121 --> 00:27:03,322
- Listen.
- What?

538
00:27:03,455 --> 00:27:06,125
- I need you to act right now.
- What?

539
00:27:06,258 --> 00:27:07,894
I'm in a real pickle here.

540
00:27:08,027 --> 00:27:09,962
- Don't even know
what that means.
- And I need you to act.

541
00:27:10,096 --> 00:27:12,398
Act? No, absolutely not.
Not right now.

542
00:27:12,531 --> 00:27:14,967
- Listen to me.
I need you to act.
- What? No.

543
00:27:15,101 --> 00:27:17,069
Like you are
my Harvard-educated landman.

544
00:27:17,203 --> 00:27:19,005
Merle, no,
I'm not gonna do it.

545
00:27:20,306 --> 00:27:23,676
- I need you to be the landman.
- Merle, I don't know
what a landman is.

546
00:27:23,810 --> 00:27:27,079
A landman
is an expert specialist
at getting oil leases.

547
00:27:27,213 --> 00:27:29,015
I don't even know
how to change the oil
to my car.

548
00:27:29,148 --> 00:27:31,751
Well, that's fine.
So, listen, all you gotta do

549
00:27:31,884 --> 00:27:35,487
is act like you know
all the old ranching families
in this part of Texas.

550
00:27:35,621 --> 00:27:37,023
I know you can do it.

551
00:27:37,156 --> 00:27:39,025
Merle, I'm sorry. I'm just
not the man for the job.

552
00:27:39,158 --> 00:27:42,594
Erwin, they're gonna take
everything I have

553
00:27:42,729 --> 00:27:44,430
and they're gonna ruin me.

554
00:27:44,563 --> 00:27:45,765
I need your help.

555
00:27:46,733 --> 00:27:49,969
You gotta act like a landman.
You can do it.

556
00:27:52,104 --> 00:27:55,141
Yeah, wait till you sons
of bitches meet him.

557
00:27:55,274 --> 00:27:58,377
He's Harvard-educated
in, uh, geology.

558
00:27:59,445 --> 00:28:01,814
- [exciting music playing]
- [exhales]

559
00:28:06,685 --> 00:28:07,820
[clears throat]

560
00:28:11,290 --> 00:28:13,492
- Gentlemen.
- [Merle] This is the Sheriff
of Taylor County,

561
00:28:13,625 --> 00:28:14,894
he's a good friend
of mine, Jack.

562
00:28:15,027 --> 00:28:16,195
- Pleasure to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

563
00:28:16,328 --> 00:28:18,330
Mind if I bum a pinch, actually?

564
00:28:19,799 --> 00:28:21,367
Here you go.

565
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:22,701
- Now...
- Appreciate it.

566
00:28:22,835 --> 00:28:25,404
This ill-fitting
toupee over here

567
00:28:25,537 --> 00:28:29,541
is the chief asshole
at Abilene National,
Don Brock.

568
00:28:29,675 --> 00:28:32,511
This shit-heel
with the clip-on tie,

569
00:28:32,644 --> 00:28:36,048
that's his kiss-ass
loan officer,
Chad La Douche.

570
00:28:36,182 --> 00:28:38,650
- Alright.
- It's a real tie.

571
00:28:38,785 --> 00:28:39,718
- Real tie.
- Yeah.

572
00:28:39,852 --> 00:28:40,853
- Good to know.
- Harvard?

573
00:28:40,987 --> 00:28:42,054
We go by nicknames on the rig.

574
00:28:42,188 --> 00:28:43,689
Yeah, well, I just...

575
00:28:43,823 --> 00:28:45,191
You don't look too familiar.

576
00:28:45,324 --> 00:28:47,193
Funny. I could say
the same about yourself.

577
00:28:47,326 --> 00:28:49,528
Yeah, well, you know,
it's kind of hard
to be a landman

578
00:28:49,661 --> 00:28:51,831
around these parts
if you don't know
the land or the people.

579
00:28:51,964 --> 00:28:54,867
So I'd be real interested
in whose land
you're leasing around here.

580
00:28:55,001 --> 00:28:57,603
The, uh, O'Douls.

581
00:28:57,736 --> 00:28:59,371
They've been a real challenge
for us lately.

582
00:28:59,505 --> 00:29:01,373
Have you had any luck?

583
00:29:01,507 --> 00:29:03,042
'Cause they're
a tough nut to crack.

584
00:29:07,179 --> 00:29:11,417
[laughing]

585
00:29:11,550 --> 00:29:13,052
- Uh, O'Douls, huh?
- Yep.

586
00:29:13,185 --> 00:29:14,253
O'Douls.

587
00:29:15,321 --> 00:29:16,688
Listen up, Super Cuts.

588
00:29:16,823 --> 00:29:20,292
The only O'Douls
around these parts

589
00:29:20,426 --> 00:29:22,261
is nonalcoholic beers,
I bet you fancy.

590
00:29:22,394 --> 00:29:23,963
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

591
00:29:24,096 --> 00:29:25,764
I don't drink that crap.
You know what I drink?

592
00:29:25,898 --> 00:29:27,399
- White Claws.
- No, whiskey.

593
00:29:28,167 --> 00:29:29,869
I'm glad we established that.

594
00:29:30,002 --> 00:29:32,704
Well, gentlemen, I have
to get back to working
for Mr. Luskey here.

595
00:29:32,839 --> 00:29:35,707
Alright, hey!
Let's crank it up.
Come on now!

596
00:29:35,842 --> 00:29:37,643
Okay, you know what?
This is horseshit, Don.

597
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:39,278
Look, look, look, look.
Check out--
Check out his shoes.

598
00:29:39,411 --> 00:29:41,981
What? Merle's just trying
to pull another fast one on you.

599
00:29:42,114 --> 00:29:43,315
That's all this is.

600
00:29:43,449 --> 00:29:45,151
I know all the landmen
around here.

601
00:29:45,284 --> 00:29:47,486
I've never seen
that jackalope
in my life.

602
00:29:47,619 --> 00:29:49,388
Yo, is that connection made, yo?

603
00:29:49,521 --> 00:29:51,623
Alright, we're made up.
Let's start drilling.

604
00:29:51,757 --> 00:29:54,060
This earth ain't gonna
drill herself, right?

605
00:29:54,193 --> 00:29:55,227
Right?

606
00:29:56,062 --> 00:29:57,563
- What?
- [Erwin] We made up yet?

607
00:29:57,696 --> 00:30:00,066
Yeah, yeah.
Y'all heard Harvard,
let's go, boys!

608
00:30:00,199 --> 00:30:01,968
- That's what I'm talking about.
- Let's, uh,
turn it to the right!

609
00:30:02,101 --> 00:30:03,903
I don't know what the hell's
going on here,

610
00:30:04,036 --> 00:30:06,138
but if you don't pay off
your note in 30 days,

611
00:30:06,272 --> 00:30:07,806
I'm ripping everything
out from under you.

612
00:30:07,940 --> 00:30:10,309
I'm gonna tell you something.
I'm gonna be dancing a jig

613
00:30:10,442 --> 00:30:12,244
on your desk in 30 days.

614
00:30:12,378 --> 00:30:13,779
We'll see about that.

615
00:30:14,746 --> 00:30:16,315
<i>Bon voyage,</i> La Douche.

616
00:30:16,448 --> 00:30:18,350
- Alright, alright, come on.
- [Don] Let's go!

617
00:30:18,484 --> 00:30:20,786
- Thanks a lot, Merle,
we'll see you.
- Asshole.

618
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,189
- [laughs]
- [car engine starts]

619
00:30:30,462 --> 00:30:31,530
- Whoo!
- [coughs]

620
00:30:31,663 --> 00:30:33,532
You did it,
you convinced him.

621
00:30:33,665 --> 00:30:35,601
- How was it?
- Oh, my God, it was beautiful!

622
00:30:35,734 --> 00:30:37,003
- Beautiful performance.
- You believed it?
You believed it?

623
00:30:37,136 --> 00:30:38,938
- Absolutely.
- Okay, thank God.

624
00:30:39,071 --> 00:30:41,974
- Like the accent?
- Accent was straight
outta Big Spring, Texas.

625
00:30:42,108 --> 00:30:43,876
That's what I'm talkin' about.
Ugh, that stuff is nasty.

626
00:30:44,010 --> 00:30:45,811
- You alright?
- No, I'm fine, thank you.

627
00:30:45,945 --> 00:30:49,215
Well, so what were they
talking about?
What happens in 30 days?

628
00:30:49,348 --> 00:30:51,617
I'm not worried
about that right now.

629
00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:53,185
But you know what?

630
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:55,888
I know there's a reason
you showed up when you did.

631
00:30:56,022 --> 00:30:58,124
Okay? I got
a proposition for you.

632
00:30:58,257 --> 00:31:00,059
We'll talk about that
later, alright?

633
00:31:00,192 --> 00:31:01,827
- Alright.
- Start that next connection.

634
00:31:01,961 --> 00:31:03,229
That's good shit!

635
00:31:03,362 --> 00:31:05,064
Shay, let's turn to the right.

636
00:31:05,197 --> 00:31:06,565
[Shay] Yes, boss.
Let's turn to the right, boys.

637
00:31:06,698 --> 00:31:08,034
Make the next connection.

638
00:31:08,167 --> 00:31:10,802
[machinery rumbling]

639
00:31:12,204 --> 00:31:13,139
[retches]

640
00:31:14,373 --> 00:31:17,376
[soft music playing]

641
00:31:19,478 --> 00:31:20,913
What do you think?

642
00:31:21,047 --> 00:31:23,682
Yeah, it looks cozy.

643
00:31:23,815 --> 00:31:27,153
- No, no, no, trees.
- Oh.

644
00:31:27,286 --> 00:31:30,022
Those are native pecans,
son. Texas.

645
00:31:30,156 --> 00:31:33,359
My own granddad planted these
when I was a little kid.

646
00:31:33,492 --> 00:31:38,597
I plan on sitting out under 'em
when I'm an old, old man.

647
00:31:38,730 --> 00:31:40,366
Scratching my ass

648
00:31:42,401 --> 00:31:43,869
and watching squirrels.

649
00:31:45,204 --> 00:31:46,338
That's the life.

650
00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:48,907
I'll show you the house.

651
00:31:49,041 --> 00:31:50,709
[door creaks, closes]

652
00:31:53,012 --> 00:31:54,546
Home, sweat home.

653
00:31:56,582 --> 00:31:57,583
Been here long?

654
00:31:58,650 --> 00:32:01,453
Yeah, off and on my whole life.

655
00:32:01,587 --> 00:32:05,257
- Mm.
- My great-granddad
built this house in 1903.

656
00:32:05,391 --> 00:32:07,426
1903, huh? Damn.

657
00:32:10,096 --> 00:32:11,863
Not much furniture for 1903.

658
00:32:11,998 --> 00:32:16,135
Yeah. Yeah, that's
a product of divorce.

659
00:32:16,268 --> 00:32:18,204
- Oh.
- Now, listen,

660
00:32:18,337 --> 00:32:21,773
I can run you over to a flea bag
over there in Winters,

661
00:32:21,907 --> 00:32:23,875
or you can stay here with me.

662
00:32:24,010 --> 00:32:26,578
Uh, you sure?

663
00:32:26,712 --> 00:32:29,481
Like, I-I definitely
don't wanna be
an imposition or anything.

664
00:32:29,615 --> 00:32:31,483
No imposition, it's just me.

665
00:32:31,617 --> 00:32:34,153
Take your gear upstairs,
second room on the right.

666
00:32:35,621 --> 00:32:37,823
- Thank you, by the way.
- You're welcome.

667
00:32:37,956 --> 00:32:41,994
Hurry up, we're grilling beers
and cracking steaks.

668
00:32:42,128 --> 00:32:43,562
Five minutes.

669
00:32:48,134 --> 00:32:49,835
- [doorknob turns]
- [door squeaks]

670
00:32:55,707 --> 00:32:58,944
[floor creaking]

671
00:33:03,382 --> 00:33:05,284
- [sighs]
- [floor creaks]

672
00:33:05,417 --> 00:33:08,420
[soft music playing]

673
00:33:17,229 --> 00:33:18,497
[door squeaks]

674
00:33:20,632 --> 00:33:23,635
[soft music playing]

675
00:33:35,647 --> 00:33:38,850
- Harvard!
- Yeah! Yeah, yeah. Coming!

676
00:33:38,984 --> 00:33:40,286
[sizzling]

677
00:33:40,419 --> 00:33:42,454
Sirloins on the grill.

678
00:33:42,588 --> 00:33:43,655
- May I?
- Oh, yeah.

679
00:33:44,523 --> 00:33:45,657
Grab me one of those.

680
00:33:49,128 --> 00:33:51,463
- [can pops]
- Tell me about Harvard.

681
00:33:51,597 --> 00:33:53,332
- Harvard?
- [can pops]

682
00:33:53,465 --> 00:33:55,201
Yeah, got into Harvard.

683
00:33:55,334 --> 00:33:57,469
Studied business,
that was Dad's orders.

684
00:33:57,603 --> 00:34:01,373
And, um, didn't do
so very well,

685
00:34:01,507 --> 00:34:02,741
uh, 'cause I didn't like it.

686
00:34:03,675 --> 00:34:06,745
And, uh,
the only thing I did like

687
00:34:06,878 --> 00:34:09,248
was my drama classes.

688
00:34:09,381 --> 00:34:12,384
Tsk. That's about it.
End of story.

689
00:34:12,518 --> 00:34:14,653
- That's the end of the story?
- Mm-hmm.

690
00:34:14,786 --> 00:34:17,556
Hell, son, you know
how much education I got?

691
00:34:17,689 --> 00:34:20,526
Eighth grade.
Day I dropped out,

692
00:34:20,659 --> 00:34:22,728
my old dad threw me up on a rig.

693
00:34:22,861 --> 00:34:23,762
[lid thuds]

694
00:34:25,197 --> 00:34:28,667
I was a roughneck.
That's all I ever did.

695
00:34:29,801 --> 00:34:31,870
It's all I know.

696
00:34:32,003 --> 00:34:34,440
- Hmm.
- But this acting...

697
00:34:34,573 --> 00:34:36,508
- Mm-hmm.
- This was always your dream?

698
00:34:37,409 --> 00:34:38,344
Yeah.

699
00:34:39,645 --> 00:34:41,347
Well, was.

700
00:34:43,048 --> 00:34:45,384
Maybe it's time for me
to wake up. [sighs]

701
00:34:45,517 --> 00:34:47,453
That's always
what my dad said.

702
00:34:47,586 --> 00:34:50,422
It's always been a conversation
that pulls us apart.

703
00:34:53,425 --> 00:34:55,694
[sighs] What we should be doing

704
00:34:55,827 --> 00:34:57,863
versus what we want to be doing.

705
00:34:57,996 --> 00:34:58,897
Yeah.

706
00:35:00,166 --> 00:35:01,467
I'm familiar with that.

707
00:35:02,768 --> 00:35:04,736
Dads and sons get pulled apart.

708
00:35:05,671 --> 00:35:06,572
Yeah.

709
00:35:08,207 --> 00:35:10,242
There's gotta be more
to that story though.

710
00:35:11,277 --> 00:35:13,044
Oh, yeah. [chuckles]

711
00:35:15,113 --> 00:35:18,250
Okay. Uh, yeah,
there is, but...

712
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:25,491
Okay, uh, quit Harvard
fall of my junior year.

713
00:35:25,624 --> 00:35:29,761
And, um, that was after
when a Hollywood agent
saw me in a play.

714
00:35:29,895 --> 00:35:31,597
Promised me the world, you know?

715
00:35:31,730 --> 00:35:33,832
He was like,
"You're one in a million, man.

716
00:35:33,965 --> 00:35:36,134
Just come out to LA and try."

717
00:35:36,268 --> 00:35:40,272
That's all it took
for me to leave Harvard.

718
00:35:42,274 --> 00:35:44,443
You can imagine how happy
that made my Dad.

719
00:35:44,576 --> 00:35:46,445
It was actually going
pretty well recently.

720
00:35:46,578 --> 00:35:48,280
I had my first big gig.

721
00:35:48,414 --> 00:35:51,183
But, um, yeah,
I told you how that went.

722
00:35:51,317 --> 00:35:52,251
Ah.

723
00:35:53,752 --> 00:35:54,953
You'll do better next time.

724
00:35:55,086 --> 00:35:57,423
You're not getting it, man.

725
00:35:57,556 --> 00:35:59,758
There's not gonna be
a next time.

726
00:35:59,891 --> 00:36:03,028
This is exactly what my Dad
has always told me.

727
00:36:05,731 --> 00:36:06,832
It's what he expected.

728
00:36:08,099 --> 00:36:09,768
- [can thuds]
- [ice water splashes]

729
00:36:09,901 --> 00:36:12,438
[sighs deeply]

730
00:36:12,571 --> 00:36:14,973
I guess the only thing
that I'm actually good at...

731
00:36:16,242 --> 00:36:17,609
- is failing.
- [can pops]

732
00:36:23,282 --> 00:36:25,116
- [barbecue sizzles]
- [lid thuds]

733
00:36:25,251 --> 00:36:26,785
You ever watch wrestling?

734
00:36:28,654 --> 00:36:32,057
[exhales] Like WWE?

735
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:33,191
No, no.

736
00:36:34,092 --> 00:36:36,161
Mexican Lucha Libre.

737
00:36:36,295 --> 00:36:37,496
I'm afraid not, no.

738
00:36:37,629 --> 00:36:39,465
There's a guy that wrestled
in that league,

739
00:36:39,598 --> 00:36:42,634
went by the name of Gringo Mojo.

740
00:36:42,768 --> 00:36:44,336
Mmm.

741
00:36:44,470 --> 00:36:45,704
Never heard of him.

742
00:36:45,837 --> 00:36:47,506
Got the shit kicked out of him
every night.

743
00:36:47,639 --> 00:36:49,207
Everybody booed him.

744
00:36:49,341 --> 00:36:51,343
Grandmas and little kids.

745
00:36:51,477 --> 00:36:54,513
Hell, I bet he lost
hundreds of times.

746
00:36:54,646 --> 00:36:56,315
Must have been
more than 20 years.

747
00:36:57,783 --> 00:36:59,017
Twenty years and he never won?

748
00:37:00,118 --> 00:37:04,490
Journalists asked him one time,
they said, "Hey, Gringo,

749
00:37:04,623 --> 00:37:06,992
what does it feel like
to lose all those times?"

750
00:37:08,126 --> 00:37:10,061
And he looked that guy
in the eye and he said,

751
00:37:10,195 --> 00:37:12,230
"Only time I ever felt
like I lost

752
00:37:13,565 --> 00:37:15,901
was the day I quit getting
in that ring."

753
00:37:20,071 --> 00:37:24,743
Life is a no-holds-barred
death match, Erwin.

754
00:37:24,876 --> 00:37:28,280
You gotta fight like a goddamn
Mexican bull every day.

755
00:37:29,147 --> 00:37:31,283
'Cause the day you stop
throwing punches,

756
00:37:31,417 --> 00:37:32,784
that's the day you lose.

757
00:37:35,421 --> 00:37:36,355
Now,

758
00:37:38,990 --> 00:37:42,861
I reckon there's a reason
you showed up in town
when you did.

759
00:37:42,994 --> 00:37:44,696
I was just hoping,

760
00:37:46,332 --> 00:37:48,900
maybe you could hang around
a little bit longer.

761
00:37:49,034 --> 00:37:51,036
You and me could help
each other out.

762
00:37:51,169 --> 00:37:52,070
Me?

763
00:37:53,071 --> 00:37:54,072
Help you?

764
00:37:54,205 --> 00:37:56,074
The bank is gonna shoot
my ass off

765
00:37:56,207 --> 00:37:58,977
in about 30 days.

766
00:37:59,110 --> 00:38:02,614
But I think
with your Harvard smarts
and my horse sense,

767
00:38:02,748 --> 00:38:06,051
we can kick the shit outta Don
and that little bastard, Chad.

768
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,756
No, okay. Merle,

769
00:38:12,424 --> 00:38:14,626
I don't know. I...

770
00:38:16,061 --> 00:38:17,763
This is not where I belong.

771
00:38:17,896 --> 00:38:19,831
Look, I got damned good people.

772
00:38:19,965 --> 00:38:21,967
They're the best roughnecks
in the country,

773
00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:23,935
but they don't have
your book smarts.

774
00:38:25,136 --> 00:38:26,271
You can help me solve this.

775
00:38:31,276 --> 00:38:32,644
What do ya say?

776
00:38:32,778 --> 00:38:35,781
[soft music playing]

777
00:38:36,882 --> 00:38:37,849
And my car?

778
00:38:39,250 --> 00:38:41,620
Get it on the road
just as soon as we can.

779
00:38:46,224 --> 00:38:49,127
- What else am I gonna do?
- What the hell else
are you gonna do?

780
00:38:49,260 --> 00:38:51,296
- Dammit.
- Drink?

781
00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:54,132
A bottle of mescal
sitting right there.
Knock yourself out.

782
00:38:54,265 --> 00:38:56,034
That's exactly
what I plan on doing.

783
00:39:00,305 --> 00:39:01,306
Whoo!

784
00:39:02,441 --> 00:39:04,610
[rooster crowing]

785
00:39:04,743 --> 00:39:07,613
[snoring]

786
00:39:07,746 --> 00:39:08,614
[radio rings]

787
00:39:08,747 --> 00:39:11,783
[metal clanging]

788
00:39:11,983 --> 00:39:15,153
[Merle] <i>Break for Harvard,
break for Harvard.</i>

789
00:39:15,353 --> 00:39:16,555
<i>Harvard, come on!</i>

790
00:39:16,755 --> 00:39:18,624
- [radio static]
- <i>Get your ears on!</i>

791
00:39:20,692 --> 00:39:24,262
Yeah, uh, 10-4. Okay, Erwin out.

792
00:39:24,463 --> 00:39:26,164
<i>Attaboy. Now get yourself
cleaned up.</i>

793
00:39:26,364 --> 00:39:28,467
<i>I'll be by to pick you up
in a few minutes.</i>

794
00:39:28,667 --> 00:39:30,469
- <i>Merle out.</i>
- [radio static]

795
00:39:32,704 --> 00:39:33,872
[groans]

796
00:39:34,005 --> 00:39:35,641
[sniffles]

797
00:39:35,774 --> 00:39:36,875
[Faye] Here you go.

798
00:39:39,044 --> 00:39:41,046
You okay?
You don't look so good.

799
00:39:41,179 --> 00:39:44,082
- No, I'm fine, just...
- [laughs]

800
00:39:44,215 --> 00:39:47,052
- Oh, bottle bit him
a little bit deep last night.
- Hmm.

801
00:39:47,185 --> 00:39:50,689
Get some of the pigs
and chickens in you.

802
00:39:50,822 --> 00:39:53,692
- That'll make you feel better.
- No, I'm fine, thank you.

803
00:39:53,825 --> 00:39:56,528
Don't let this old coot
be a bad influence on you.

804
00:39:57,629 --> 00:39:59,397
It's a little late for that.

805
00:39:59,531 --> 00:40:00,566
Did you see that?

806
00:40:01,467 --> 00:40:02,868
- Yeah.
- She likes to spank.

807
00:40:03,902 --> 00:40:06,104
- Yeah.
- Alright, now,

808
00:40:06,237 --> 00:40:08,406
you and I gotta go
hunt down an elephant.

809
00:40:09,808 --> 00:40:12,711
- A what?
- That means
that we gotta find a lease

810
00:40:12,844 --> 00:40:13,945
and we gotta drill it.

811
00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:15,447
And we gotta make a strike

812
00:40:15,581 --> 00:40:17,949
that's gonna pump out
about a million barrels.

813
00:40:19,050 --> 00:40:20,085
Right, that sounds easy.

814
00:40:20,218 --> 00:40:21,453
No, it is not.

815
00:40:21,587 --> 00:40:23,354
And we got 25 days to do it.

816
00:40:23,489 --> 00:40:24,856
Twenty-five days.

817
00:40:25,691 --> 00:40:28,093
- Why so long?
- Okay, Ivy League,

818
00:40:28,226 --> 00:40:32,430
give you a little lesson
in geology here. Okay?

819
00:40:32,564 --> 00:40:36,768
These flapjacks,
they represent the basin.

820
00:40:36,902 --> 00:40:40,706
You've got your soil,
rock, sand, and shale.

821
00:40:40,839 --> 00:40:43,441
Now we take all that
Luskey Drilling equipment

822
00:40:43,575 --> 00:40:46,144
and we gotta drill
right through that basin.

823
00:40:46,277 --> 00:40:48,780
Now the earth don't want
holes punched in her,

824
00:40:48,914 --> 00:40:50,582
so she's gonna put up a fight.

825
00:40:50,716 --> 00:40:52,751
That's why it takes 25 days.

826
00:40:52,884 --> 00:40:55,086
Right, okay, 25.

827
00:40:55,220 --> 00:40:57,222
[inhales deeply]
What if we miss?

828
00:40:57,355 --> 00:40:58,957
We can't afford to miss.

829
00:40:59,090 --> 00:41:01,593
We gotta pick the right spot.

830
00:41:01,727 --> 00:41:04,329
We don't have any time
for second chances.

831
00:41:04,462 --> 00:41:07,132
Then, boom, that's a strike.

832
00:41:07,265 --> 00:41:10,736
And there's nothing
sweeter-tasting in the world.

833
00:41:10,869 --> 00:41:14,506
Then, we get fat pockets,

834
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,742
and Old Don,

835
00:41:16,875 --> 00:41:18,810
he and Chad
end up living together.

836
00:41:20,145 --> 00:41:22,413
- That's your plan.
- That's my plan.

837
00:41:23,114 --> 00:41:25,851
Right, okay, uh,
so how do we get this lease?

838
00:41:26,818 --> 00:41:28,186
That's where you come in.

839
00:41:29,087 --> 00:41:29,988
Oh, boy.

840
00:41:32,891 --> 00:41:35,493
- [Roxie giggling]
- How can I say no
to those big brown doe eyes?

841
00:41:35,627 --> 00:41:38,463
Oh, you are so sweet.
And here we are.

842
00:41:38,597 --> 00:41:41,266
All along here,
we've got the plats

843
00:41:41,399 --> 00:41:43,602
and then we have
the water rights.

844
00:41:43,735 --> 00:41:45,704
- Over here are the county
mineral rights.
- Mm-hmm.

845
00:41:45,837 --> 00:41:47,873
Then we have the records
for the 20th century.

846
00:41:48,006 --> 00:41:50,275
And then over here
we have the records
for the 19th century.

847
00:41:50,408 --> 00:41:52,878
But, you will need gloves
to review those, of course.

848
00:41:53,011 --> 00:41:55,113
- Of course. I mean,
it's a no-brainer, duh.
- [sighs]

849
00:41:55,246 --> 00:41:57,849
- Uh...
- That's the lay of the land.

850
00:41:59,184 --> 00:42:01,687
Um, I would love to sit
and chat, Roxie

851
00:42:01,820 --> 00:42:03,354
but I actually have to, um...

852
00:42:03,488 --> 00:42:05,323
- I'm on a tight schedule.
- Oh.

853
00:42:05,456 --> 00:42:07,559
I was hoping
that you could just,
you know,

854
00:42:07,693 --> 00:42:10,161
show me exactly
where that plat map
might be for my client.

855
00:42:10,295 --> 00:42:12,030
And I will just
get outta your hair.

856
00:42:12,163 --> 00:42:15,333
That would be
greatly appreciated.
And I would definitely owe you.

857
00:42:15,466 --> 00:42:18,003
Yeah, plats here.

858
00:42:18,136 --> 00:42:20,238
Tobin's over there.
You gonna be needing copies?

859
00:42:20,371 --> 00:42:23,308
Uh, no, I'll be fine, you know,
I'll just poke around,
I'll find it.

860
00:42:23,441 --> 00:42:25,644
[chuckles] I'll let you poke
around wherever you like.

861
00:42:25,777 --> 00:42:28,880
Oh, boy. Alright.
You're so funny, uh...

862
00:42:29,014 --> 00:42:32,150
Um, no, I'll be fine.
Thank you, Roxie,
you've been a huge help.

863
00:42:32,283 --> 00:42:35,153
Not a bother. I'll be
right around this corner
if you need me.

864
00:42:35,286 --> 00:42:36,888
- Sounds great.
- [chuckles]

865
00:42:37,022 --> 00:42:39,024
- Alright.
- Bye.

866
00:42:39,157 --> 00:42:40,391
[door creaks, closes]

867
00:42:44,362 --> 00:42:46,698
- [line rings]
- [Merle] How's it going?

868
00:42:46,832 --> 00:42:48,166
Yeah, Merle,
get your ass in here

869
00:42:48,299 --> 00:42:49,901
'cause I have no idea
what I'm looking for.

870
00:42:50,035 --> 00:42:53,772
I told you I cannot be
snooping around in there

871
00:42:53,905 --> 00:42:56,241
or they'll think
I'm up to something.

872
00:42:56,374 --> 00:42:58,509
Now, you're the landman, okay?

873
00:42:58,644 --> 00:43:01,246
- This part's on you.
- I'm not a landman, okay?

874
00:43:01,379 --> 00:43:03,849
I'm from Boston.
Now can you please
just come in here

875
00:43:03,982 --> 00:43:06,217
and tell me which filing cabinet
I need to look into.

876
00:43:06,351 --> 00:43:09,888
We need Tobin maps and plats
for Taylor County.

877
00:43:10,021 --> 00:43:12,190
I know, okay, but where's that?

878
00:43:12,323 --> 00:43:14,592
Yeah, ask Roxie
to help you and hurry.

879
00:43:14,726 --> 00:43:16,628
- Don't hang up.
- Merle out.

880
00:43:18,396 --> 00:43:20,565
Just... [exhales]
I gonna kill him.

881
00:43:23,268 --> 00:43:26,972
[objects clattering]

882
00:43:27,105 --> 00:43:29,207
- Of course.
- [Roxie] Hey, darling,
you alright in there?

883
00:43:29,340 --> 00:43:31,542
Doin' fine in here, Roxie.
Thank you so much. [grunts]

884
00:43:33,879 --> 00:43:34,780
[sighs]

885
00:43:36,414 --> 00:43:38,416
[soft music playing]

886
00:43:47,893 --> 00:43:48,894
Thank you, Chad.

887
00:43:49,895 --> 00:43:51,096
Thank you very much.

888
00:43:54,032 --> 00:43:56,768
[rustling]

889
00:43:56,902 --> 00:43:58,436
So, quick question.

890
00:43:58,569 --> 00:44:01,306
How do you know which properties
are worth looking at?

891
00:44:01,439 --> 00:44:03,909
Well, Chad undoubtedly

892
00:44:04,042 --> 00:44:06,812
wanted copies
made of lease index cards.

893
00:44:06,945 --> 00:44:09,580
- Looks like you stole
the originals.
- Wait, what?

894
00:44:09,715 --> 00:44:13,118
Locate these leases
on the map.
I'll be right back.

895
00:44:13,251 --> 00:44:15,153
- I just committed a crime.
- Yep.

896
00:44:16,955 --> 00:44:18,423
Now I'm doing all the work.

897
00:44:19,958 --> 00:44:23,428
Um, yeah,
this is every street ever made.

898
00:44:23,561 --> 00:44:26,097
[soft music playing]

899
00:44:34,472 --> 00:44:35,540
Um...

900
00:44:37,976 --> 00:44:41,212
I see what you did there,
Chad. Mm-hmm.

901
00:44:42,180 --> 00:44:47,819
Check. Alright.
South. Hillard's.

902
00:44:47,953 --> 00:44:50,221
Yeah. Merle, I got it.

903
00:44:50,355 --> 00:44:52,791
I found four properties,
but it's kind of hard to read

904
00:44:52,924 --> 00:44:55,226
'cause it's on the smudged part
on the separate map.

905
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:56,862
Put these on.

906
00:44:56,995 --> 00:44:58,797
Can't have you runnin' around
being a landman

907
00:44:58,930 --> 00:45:00,231
wearing disco clothes.

908
00:45:01,933 --> 00:45:03,969
Well, well, well.

909
00:45:04,102 --> 00:45:06,738
Chad and Don don't have
the nut sack between them

910
00:45:06,872 --> 00:45:09,074
to go looking for oil leases.

911
00:45:09,207 --> 00:45:11,743
They could have somebody
with deep pockets backing them.

912
00:45:11,877 --> 00:45:14,379
Yep. Alright.

913
00:45:14,512 --> 00:45:16,247
We have to find
these people...

914
00:45:16,381 --> 00:45:17,682
- Okay.
- ...on these cards.

915
00:45:17,816 --> 00:45:19,684
- Mm. You want me to take--
- Take that.

916
00:45:19,818 --> 00:45:21,987
- Alright.
- Meet me out in the truck.

917
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:23,188
[country music plays]

918
00:45:23,388 --> 00:45:25,290
[Erwin] <i>Wait.
Shouldn't we call ahead?</i>

919
00:45:25,490 --> 00:45:28,659
[Merle] <i>No, that's
for Mary Kay representatives.</i>

920
00:45:28,860 --> 00:45:31,529
<i>Just saunter in,
see how it all shakes out.</i>

921
00:45:31,729 --> 00:45:34,365
[Erwin] <i>"Saunter"? I'm afraid
they didn't teach sauntering</i>

922
00:45:34,565 --> 00:45:35,767
<i>at Harvard Business School.</i>

923
00:45:35,901 --> 00:45:38,436
- [sparking]
- [Erwin clears throat]

924
00:45:38,569 --> 00:45:41,940
Uh, hey, there, sir.
Uh, I'd love to speak to you
for a second,

925
00:45:42,073 --> 00:45:43,274
just about your land.

926
00:45:44,810 --> 00:45:47,846
Just for, perhaps,
if you just gimme a second.

927
00:45:47,979 --> 00:45:49,014
No.

928
00:45:50,681 --> 00:45:53,184
Okay, thank you
for the second. Mmm.

929
00:45:53,318 --> 00:45:54,853
[upbeat country music playing]

930
00:46:01,059 --> 00:46:03,428
- [engine stops]
- [truck door opens, closes]

931
00:46:03,561 --> 00:46:05,696
- Hey, Merle.
- Barry, how are you?

932
00:46:05,831 --> 00:46:08,533
Alright, thank you. See,
I heard through the grapevine

933
00:46:08,666 --> 00:46:10,735
that you was, uh,
trying to get you own lease.

934
00:46:10,869 --> 00:46:12,303
Well, I was hoping to.

935
00:46:13,571 --> 00:46:18,376
Well, sorry, Merle,
but there's a young man
named Chad

936
00:46:18,509 --> 00:46:19,710
come out here yesterday

937
00:46:19,845 --> 00:46:22,147
and he made me an offer
I couldn't refuse.

938
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:26,384
Chad! Chad is not even
a real oil man, Barry.

939
00:46:26,517 --> 00:46:28,153
- Yeah, let's go.
- He works for that bank

940
00:46:28,286 --> 00:46:30,588
in Abilene. Dammit!

941
00:46:32,390 --> 00:46:33,624
- Thank you, sir.
- Thanks, Barry.

942
00:46:33,758 --> 00:46:35,460
- Y'all be careful.
- [Merle] You too.

943
00:46:35,593 --> 00:46:37,395
- Say hi to the missus.
- [truck door slams]

944
00:46:37,528 --> 00:46:40,298
If shit goes wrong
with, uh, Chad,
just gimme a call.

945
00:46:40,431 --> 00:46:42,667
[Barry] I'll call you, clear.

946
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:47,338
[upbeat country music playing]

947
00:46:49,207 --> 00:46:51,342
[car revs]

948
00:46:52,410 --> 00:46:53,511
I hate Chad.

949
00:46:57,748 --> 00:46:59,985
[Erwin] Ah, so this is it.

950
00:47:00,118 --> 00:47:01,752
This is the last one
on the list.

951
00:47:06,757 --> 00:47:09,160
Well, there's
no more cattle here

952
00:47:09,294 --> 00:47:10,628
since Frank passed.

953
00:47:12,063 --> 00:47:14,699
The boys moved to Houston.

954
00:47:14,832 --> 00:47:18,703
They didn't think much
of being ranchers.

955
00:47:18,836 --> 00:47:20,771
- Mmm.
- Well, we're sorry
to hear that, ma'am.

956
00:47:23,808 --> 00:47:27,278
My father gave us this land
as a wedding gift.

957
00:47:29,948 --> 00:47:31,349
Been here ever since.

958
00:47:32,483 --> 00:47:34,719
[Merle] It's a beautiful piece
of property, Miss Hillard.

959
00:47:38,323 --> 00:47:40,892
How many barrels
do you think are under us?

960
00:47:41,026 --> 00:47:44,062
Well, okay, so my family

961
00:47:44,195 --> 00:47:46,064
has been drilling oil wells
in this country

962
00:47:46,197 --> 00:47:48,466
about as long as y'all
have been running cattle.

963
00:47:48,599 --> 00:47:51,836
And I can say
with a fair degree of certainty,

964
00:47:51,970 --> 00:47:55,240
you're sitting on top
of a significant formation.

965
00:47:55,373 --> 00:47:57,308
[breathes deeply]

966
00:47:59,844 --> 00:48:02,880
Okay, I'll sign.

967
00:48:03,681 --> 00:48:05,683
- Oh, uh, yes, ma'am, alright.
- Oh, Miss...

968
00:48:05,816 --> 00:48:07,685
- [chuckles]
- Thank you so much,
Miss Hillard.

969
00:48:07,818 --> 00:48:09,854
- Oh, thank you.
- [Merle laughs] Oh, yeah.

970
00:48:09,988 --> 00:48:11,923
Uh, how soon do you think
you can start?

971
00:48:12,057 --> 00:48:15,093
Well, once we get the lease
filed in the courthouse,

972
00:48:15,226 --> 00:48:17,262
we can start surveying tomorrow.

973
00:48:17,395 --> 00:48:19,264
'Cause I have one week.

974
00:48:20,365 --> 00:48:21,532
Yeah, uh...

975
00:48:23,834 --> 00:48:27,372
You see, I-I had, uh,
I had trouble making the loan

976
00:48:27,505 --> 00:48:30,508
and, uh, after the funeral,
I just couldn't keep up
with the payments.

977
00:48:30,641 --> 00:48:33,044
And they're gonna foreclose
next week.

978
00:48:34,179 --> 00:48:37,515
Yeah, one-one week
is-is not really enough time

979
00:48:37,648 --> 00:48:40,685
- to do anything, Miss Hillard.
- Merle...

980
00:48:40,818 --> 00:48:44,389
By God, if I could do anything,
I would do it. But it's...

981
00:48:44,522 --> 00:48:47,758
If you start tomorrow,
you could work through
the night maybe, all week long.

982
00:48:47,892 --> 00:48:51,262
Yeah, Merle, what if
I handled the paperwork
and I went to the bank?

983
00:48:51,396 --> 00:48:53,064
- You got the rig here...
- Erwin.

984
00:48:57,202 --> 00:49:00,871
Miss Hillard,
this is the reality
of the situation.

985
00:49:01,006 --> 00:49:05,043
We have to survey your property
to determine exactly
where to drill.

986
00:49:05,176 --> 00:49:08,913
Then we have to bring in
the rig, our tanks,
the rest of the equipment.

987
00:49:09,047 --> 00:49:10,748
We have to prep the well site.

988
00:49:10,881 --> 00:49:12,483
And then it'll take
three to four weeks

989
00:49:12,617 --> 00:49:14,552
just to drill down
to the pay zone.

990
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,488
I'm sorry, there's just
not enough time.

991
00:49:23,694 --> 00:49:24,929
I understand.

992
00:49:26,297 --> 00:49:28,733
[somber music playing]

993
00:49:35,273 --> 00:49:37,275
Merle, Merle.

994
00:49:37,408 --> 00:49:39,010
Get in the truck.

995
00:49:39,144 --> 00:49:40,311
We're just not gonna try?

996
00:49:41,146 --> 00:49:43,614
Merle, she said
she would sign, okay?

997
00:49:43,748 --> 00:49:45,816
- Why don't we try?
- Do you know
what you did in there?

998
00:49:46,617 --> 00:49:49,854
You gave that woman false hope.
And that is not what I do.

999
00:49:49,987 --> 00:49:52,257
That's not what
Merle Luskey does.
I tell people the truth.

1000
00:49:52,390 --> 00:49:55,193
I understand, but guess what?
We haven't gone to the bank yet.

1001
00:49:55,326 --> 00:49:57,695
Maybe we could buy
some more time.
We just have to ask them.

1002
00:49:57,828 --> 00:50:00,298
Erwin, you have no idea
what you're talking about.

1003
00:50:00,431 --> 00:50:01,932
You're in way over your head.

1004
00:50:02,067 --> 00:50:03,334
I drill oil wells.

1005
00:50:03,468 --> 00:50:05,136
I don't perform miracles.

1006
00:50:05,270 --> 00:50:07,772
Merle, she needs
our help, okay?

1007
00:50:07,905 --> 00:50:09,607
You think I don't
wanna help her?

1008
00:50:11,109 --> 00:50:12,343
Now get in the truck.

1009
00:50:12,477 --> 00:50:13,844
This is our last chance, Merle.

1010
00:50:13,978 --> 00:50:15,313
It's over, David!

1011
00:50:16,614 --> 00:50:17,715
It's over!

1012
00:50:19,284 --> 00:50:21,152
[truck door opens, closes]

1013
00:50:21,286 --> 00:50:24,489
[engine starts, rumbles]

1014
00:50:24,622 --> 00:50:27,625
[somber music playing]

1015
00:50:38,169 --> 00:50:40,171
[insects trilling]

1016
00:50:52,117 --> 00:50:55,086
[soft music playing]

1017
00:51:03,361 --> 00:51:04,729
[Erwin sighs]

1018
00:51:12,870 --> 00:51:14,239
[breathes deeply]

1019
00:51:22,213 --> 00:51:23,514
[sighs]

1020
00:51:28,553 --> 00:51:30,588
[gentle music playing]

1021
00:51:37,528 --> 00:51:39,430
Merle, Merle!

1022
00:51:39,564 --> 00:51:41,098
Hey, can I ask you a question?

1023
00:51:43,100 --> 00:51:44,202
Yeah.

1024
00:51:44,869 --> 00:51:47,305
Why would Don and Chad
only look in this area?

1025
00:51:48,839 --> 00:51:50,241
Well, if it was me...

1026
00:51:51,108 --> 00:51:52,042
[slams table]

1027
00:51:53,110 --> 00:51:55,446
It'd be because there was
a pinnacle reef there.

1028
00:51:56,214 --> 00:51:57,215
A what?

1029
00:51:59,384 --> 00:52:01,386
Pinnacle reef,
top of the formation.

1030
00:52:01,519 --> 00:52:02,820
Right.

1031
00:52:04,189 --> 00:52:06,257
The center of the pancake.

1032
00:52:06,391 --> 00:52:08,826
And they can't find it,
Merle, right?

1033
00:52:08,959 --> 00:52:11,296
And I'm trying to read
what's in the middle of this,
but it's all smudged out.

1034
00:52:11,429 --> 00:52:14,265
I can't read it.
They're going
after the elephant

1035
00:52:14,399 --> 00:52:15,600
and they can't find it.

1036
00:52:15,733 --> 00:52:17,101
Well, the only way
they're gonna find it

1037
00:52:17,235 --> 00:52:19,904
is if they look at a seismic.

1038
00:52:20,037 --> 00:52:22,240
And what's that?

1039
00:52:22,373 --> 00:52:26,277
Seismology map, shows you
all the underground formations.

1040
00:52:26,411 --> 00:52:28,779
Oil and gas
deep below the surface.

1041
00:52:28,913 --> 00:52:31,516
How do we get our hands
on one of those?
Like who would have one?

1042
00:52:31,649 --> 00:52:32,983
You gotta be a big outfit.

1043
00:52:33,117 --> 00:52:36,321
An outfit like
an oil company, okay, uh...

1044
00:52:36,454 --> 00:52:39,624
SPNA. Is that an oil company?

1045
00:52:39,757 --> 00:52:42,993
Sun Pride North America,
that's Max Dugan's outfit.

1046
00:52:43,127 --> 00:52:45,296
- You know him?
- He's a good man.

1047
00:52:45,430 --> 00:52:46,664
Drilled a bunch
of wells for him.

1048
00:52:46,797 --> 00:52:48,165
He's not gonna be in business

1049
00:52:48,299 --> 00:52:51,101
with chickenshits
like Don and Chad.

1050
00:52:51,236 --> 00:52:52,770
Okay, but we need to get
to a seismic map

1051
00:52:52,903 --> 00:52:54,305
before Don and Chad do.

1052
00:52:56,106 --> 00:52:57,708
How do we get into Sun Pride?

1053
00:53:02,947 --> 00:53:04,148
I know how to do it.

1054
00:53:06,116 --> 00:53:07,452
[register dings]

1055
00:53:08,353 --> 00:53:09,354
Sign that.

1056
00:53:10,755 --> 00:53:13,057
- What the hell is this?
- $500 football.

1057
00:53:13,190 --> 00:53:15,993
Uh, $500, you just bought it
from a general store.

1058
00:53:16,126 --> 00:53:19,163
It's gonna be worth $500
when you put an autograph on it.

1059
00:53:20,164 --> 00:53:23,301
Why would anybody want
a signed autograph
football from me?

1060
00:53:23,434 --> 00:53:27,071
Not you, Roy Aikman.

1061
00:53:27,204 --> 00:53:29,574
[mumbles]
Wait, who's Roy Aikman?

1062
00:53:30,608 --> 00:53:33,478
[Merle] Good God in heaven,
who is Roy Aikman?

1063
00:53:34,345 --> 00:53:37,014
Roy Aikman is perhaps
the greatest football player

1064
00:53:37,147 --> 00:53:39,817
ever known in the history
of civilization.

1065
00:53:39,950 --> 00:53:42,086
- That's my bad.
- All the way back
to Roman Times.

1066
00:53:42,219 --> 00:53:43,688
I deserve this, okay.

1067
00:53:43,821 --> 00:53:46,757
Max Dugan is his biggest fan.

1068
00:53:48,326 --> 00:53:49,760
That's all I needed to know.

1069
00:53:53,030 --> 00:53:56,200
Alright, is there anything else
you wanted to say?

1070
00:53:56,334 --> 00:54:01,071
Uh, well, the obvious,
"To Max Dugan."

1071
00:54:01,205 --> 00:54:04,241
- Right
- Uh, "From..."

1072
00:54:05,543 --> 00:54:06,444
No.

1073
00:54:07,545 --> 00:54:08,679
Seasons greetings.

1074
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:11,749
"Seasons greetings"?

1075
00:54:11,882 --> 00:54:14,084
It's the most joyous time
of the year.

1076
00:54:14,218 --> 00:54:15,119
[engine starts]

1077
00:54:16,354 --> 00:54:18,389
[Erwin] <i>Okay, here's the plan.
I'm interested in oil.</i>

1078
00:54:18,589 --> 00:54:21,992
<i>I studied at Harvard Business
and we're going in
to sweet-talk Max Dugan</i>

1079
00:54:22,192 --> 00:54:24,895
<i>into showing us the 3D maps
with a signed football
by Roy Aikman.</i>

1080
00:54:25,095 --> 00:54:28,065
[Merle] <i>Yes, Eager Beaver,
sounds like you.</i>

1081
00:54:28,265 --> 00:54:29,700
[Erwin] <i>Yeah,
what could go wrong?</i>

1082
00:54:32,269 --> 00:54:33,871
- [woman] Good morning,
gentlemen.
- Good morning.

1083
00:54:34,004 --> 00:54:36,641
- May I help you?
- Yes, Merle Luskey

1084
00:54:36,774 --> 00:54:40,210
of Luskey Drilling Company,
here to see Max Dugan.

1085
00:54:40,345 --> 00:54:43,414
- [woman] Mm-hmm.
- [line rings]

1086
00:54:43,548 --> 00:54:45,750
Yes, I have Mr. Merle Luskey
to see Mr. Dugan.

1087
00:54:46,517 --> 00:54:47,918
- Yes, ma'am.
- [receiver thuds]

1088
00:54:48,052 --> 00:54:49,654
- Elevator's just...
- I'm sorry,

1089
00:54:49,787 --> 00:54:51,589
Mr. Dugan is all tied up
this morning.

1090
00:54:52,923 --> 00:54:56,594
Jesus, I know how big
a fan Max Dugan is
of the Dallas Cowboys.

1091
00:54:56,727 --> 00:54:59,063
And I happen to have
this football

1092
00:54:59,196 --> 00:55:01,966
signed by Hall of Fame
quarterback,

1093
00:55:03,300 --> 00:55:05,603
Roy Aikman.
I guess we'll just...

1094
00:55:05,736 --> 00:55:07,004
- Wha-- Oh.
- ...mosey on out.

1095
00:55:07,137 --> 00:55:08,806
- Can you validate our parking?
- Roy,

1096
00:55:08,939 --> 00:55:10,307
you mean Troy Aikman?

1097
00:55:11,709 --> 00:55:14,645
- Troy Aikman, yes.
- [Erwin clears throat]

1098
00:55:14,779 --> 00:55:17,181
You know him by his stage name,

1099
00:55:17,314 --> 00:55:20,418
but his Christian name
when he was born was Roy.

1100
00:55:20,551 --> 00:55:22,787
- Wait, you know--
you know Troy Aikman?
- Yeah.

1101
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:24,855
- Uh, yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

1102
00:55:24,989 --> 00:55:26,657
- Yes, I do.
- Hard to believe.

1103
00:55:26,791 --> 00:55:28,593
His old daddy and I
used to pull water wells

1104
00:55:28,726 --> 00:55:31,996
up there in Henryetta, Oklahoma
when old Troy

1105
00:55:32,129 --> 00:55:34,131
was running around
shooting bulls in the balls

1106
00:55:34,264 --> 00:55:36,033
- with a BB-gun.
- [chuckles]

1107
00:55:36,166 --> 00:55:37,635
He's a prankster.

1108
00:55:37,768 --> 00:55:41,806
Uh... [sighs] Candace, uh,
Mr. Luskey has a football

1109
00:55:41,939 --> 00:55:44,609
autographed
by Troy Aikman for Mr...

1110
00:55:44,742 --> 00:55:46,644
Right, I know, okay.

1111
00:55:46,777 --> 00:55:48,112
[receiver thuds]

1112
00:55:48,245 --> 00:55:50,981
Mr. Dugan will see you,
second floor.

1113
00:55:51,115 --> 00:55:53,784
His personal assistant
will greet you
as you step off the elevator.

1114
00:55:53,918 --> 00:55:55,720
- Thank you, Officer Basa.
- [chuckles]

1115
00:55:55,853 --> 00:55:57,321
Say, could you give me
one of those?

1116
00:55:57,455 --> 00:55:58,956
Oh, absolutely.

1117
00:55:59,089 --> 00:56:01,191
I could probably get you one
signed by the whole team.

1118
00:56:01,325 --> 00:56:02,527
[both laugh]

1119
00:56:02,660 --> 00:56:03,861
[huffs air]

1120
00:56:04,495 --> 00:56:06,797
Thought it was a sin
not to know
your quarterback's name.

1121
00:56:06,931 --> 00:56:09,233
- [elevator dings]
- Just put a T on it, okay?

1122
00:56:13,003 --> 00:56:18,509
You know, sometimes
maybe Troy is pronounced
with a silent T, huh?

1123
00:56:20,210 --> 00:56:21,879
Sure thing. You sure
it was the Dallas Cowboys?

1124
00:56:22,012 --> 00:56:23,313
[mimics Erwin]

1125
00:56:25,450 --> 00:56:28,686
Hello and welcome to Sun Pride.
Mr. Dugan is still in a meeting,

1126
00:56:28,819 --> 00:56:30,855
so please have a seat
and he'll be with you shortly.

1127
00:56:30,988 --> 00:56:33,758
- Thank you, ma'am.
- Quick question, ma'am. Um...

1128
00:56:33,891 --> 00:56:36,026
- Where's the restroom?
- Down the hall
and to the right.

1129
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:37,495
Perfect, alright,
I'll catch you there.

1130
00:56:37,628 --> 00:56:38,596
What's going on?

1131
00:56:39,464 --> 00:56:41,165
Just gotta get
into character, okay?

1132
00:56:42,332 --> 00:56:44,001
Okay, good luck.

1133
00:56:44,969 --> 00:56:45,903
Gonna need it.

1134
00:56:46,036 --> 00:56:47,237
[Don] I promise we'll get this

1135
00:56:47,371 --> 00:56:48,673
back on track, Max.

1136
00:56:48,806 --> 00:56:49,740
You have my word.

1137
00:56:49,874 --> 00:56:51,075
When have I let you down?

1138
00:56:51,208 --> 00:56:53,611
[Max] Chad,
get your ass back in here!

1139
00:56:53,744 --> 00:56:55,680
[Chad] Alright, alright,
I'm coming.

1140
00:56:55,813 --> 00:56:58,115
[Don] Look, I know Chad's
been a little bit of a problem

1141
00:56:58,248 --> 00:57:01,051
but I can-- I can handle it,
we'll get it done.

1142
00:57:03,654 --> 00:57:05,723
I don't want
any more excuses, Chad.

1143
00:57:05,856 --> 00:57:07,725
Yes, sir, yeah,
consider it done.

1144
00:57:07,858 --> 00:57:10,360
[Max] Well, I considered it
done a month ago.

1145
00:57:10,495 --> 00:57:13,197
- [door creaks, closes]
- Best pay zone in that area

1146
00:57:13,330 --> 00:57:15,933
is under that old codger's ass.

1147
00:57:16,066 --> 00:57:18,903
Now I need you to get
that lease for me

1148
00:57:19,036 --> 00:57:21,472
or I'll find somebody who will.

1149
00:57:22,607 --> 00:57:25,610
Do I make myself clear?

1150
00:57:25,743 --> 00:57:27,277
[Chad] Crystal, sir.

1151
00:57:28,212 --> 00:57:32,149
[Max] Don, where do we stand
with getting Luskey's equipment?

1152
00:57:32,282 --> 00:57:34,084
Has he been foreclosed on yet?

1153
00:57:34,218 --> 00:57:35,586
[Don] In progress, Max.

1154
00:57:38,188 --> 00:57:40,591
Merle. [clears throat]
We need to talk.

1155
00:57:41,458 --> 00:57:43,994
We got a problem.
Big problem, actually.

1156
00:57:44,128 --> 00:57:46,163
They're here. Don, Chad,

1157
00:57:46,296 --> 00:57:49,967
and your good friend Mr. Dugan,
are all out to get you.

1158
00:57:50,100 --> 00:57:51,769
How'd you know it was Max Dugan?

1159
00:57:51,902 --> 00:57:53,971
White, slick-backed hair,
thick mustache.

1160
00:57:54,104 --> 00:57:55,740
Colonel Sanders looking guy.

1161
00:57:55,873 --> 00:57:57,241
Shit, that's Max.

1162
00:57:57,374 --> 00:57:59,176
He's the one behind this, okay?
They're all in there

1163
00:57:59,309 --> 00:58:01,145
like a bunch of fat cats
scheming to get you.

1164
00:58:01,278 --> 00:58:03,413
- Son of a bitch.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
wait, not right now.

1165
00:58:03,548 --> 00:58:05,683
We can't just go in there
guns-a-blazing, alright?

1166
00:58:06,717 --> 00:58:08,953
So the 3D seismic is in there.
I did see that.

1167
00:58:09,086 --> 00:58:10,988
- Son of a bitch!

to foreclose on Merle.

Twenty-eight days
to land a lease
on Scheermeyer's land.

Then we start drilling,

we can make it rich

That is a real doozy.

really, is to get Scheermeyer
to sign this lease.

too open to that.

1330
01:05:26,856 --> 01:05:28,092
Yeah, I knew him.

1331
01:05:28,225 --> 01:05:30,094
[Faye] And this is
Erwin Vanderveer.

1332
01:05:30,227 --> 01:05:31,761
Howdy, sir.

1333
01:05:31,895 --> 01:05:34,364
How many syllables
is that, three?

1334
01:05:34,498 --> 01:05:35,966
Uh, something like that.
I know it's--

1335
01:05:36,100 --> 01:05:37,534
Come on, you had math in school.

1336
01:05:37,667 --> 01:05:40,070
Uh, Van-de...
Uh, four, I think.

1337
01:05:40,204 --> 01:05:41,538
- How about too many?
- Yeah.

1338
01:05:41,671 --> 01:05:43,073
Where are you out of son?

1339
01:05:43,207 --> 01:05:46,376
Uh, east, sir, just, uh,
north, just north of here.

1340
01:05:46,510 --> 01:05:49,879
There's a lot of north of here
and none of it's worth
a shit seeing.

1341
01:05:50,847 --> 01:05:51,748
[chuckles]

1342
01:05:53,750 --> 01:05:55,485
Yeah, no, I know, but--

1343
01:05:55,619 --> 01:05:58,322
So, like, this right here

1344
01:05:58,455 --> 01:05:59,956
is the famous Eddy, huh?

1345
01:06:00,090 --> 01:06:03,127
Yeah, all 2,000 pounds of him.

1346
01:06:03,260 --> 01:06:04,661
- [whistles]
- [Merle] He's a stout one.

1347
01:06:04,794 --> 01:06:07,431
I still have that photo of him
up in the cafe.

1348
01:06:07,564 --> 01:06:08,965
People ask me about him
all the time.

1349
01:06:09,099 --> 01:06:10,500
You're kidding.

1350
01:06:10,634 --> 01:06:13,437
Oh, that's great, they should.

1351
01:06:14,204 --> 01:06:18,675
Uh, I'm-- I'm sure
you're wondering why

1352
01:06:18,808 --> 01:06:20,610
we popped in on you and Eddy.

1353
01:06:20,744 --> 01:06:23,347
Madam, you don't have
to hire a plumber

1354
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,816
to smell shit or see it,
you know?

1355
01:06:26,950 --> 01:06:29,686
I know y'all didn't come
down here to talk about Eddy

1356
01:06:29,819 --> 01:06:31,421
or to gawk at him.

1357
01:06:31,555 --> 01:06:34,491
- Well, uh...
- I don't hear good,
so blow it out.

1358
01:06:35,659 --> 01:06:38,695
Well, uh, Mr. Scheermeyer,

1359
01:06:38,828 --> 01:06:42,366
uh, I think we have
an opportunity
to scratch each other's backs.

1360
01:06:42,499 --> 01:06:44,668
You're gonna scratch my back?

1361
01:06:44,801 --> 01:06:47,003
Yes, sir. I mean, if you're
willing to scratch mine.

1362
01:06:47,137 --> 01:06:49,039
Very doubtful, but go on.

1363
01:06:49,806 --> 01:06:51,508
Well, just hear me out then.

1364
01:06:51,641 --> 01:06:54,544
I would love to share with you
some helpful information

1365
01:06:54,678 --> 01:06:57,347
that we believe will help you,

1366
01:06:57,481 --> 01:07:00,484
but more importantly,
help your Eddy here or Edward,

1367
01:07:00,617 --> 01:07:02,786
get that blue ribbon
on that wall.

1368
01:07:04,121 --> 01:07:05,622
[water sprinkling]

1369
01:07:05,755 --> 01:07:08,658
You know how many lease lizards
there are around here

1370
01:07:08,792 --> 01:07:11,061
trying to sell
the same snake oil?

1371
01:07:11,195 --> 01:07:13,163
You know how many good people
there are here,

1372
01:07:13,297 --> 01:07:16,966
getting screwed every day
by people with pitches?

1373
01:07:20,204 --> 01:07:23,740
- Sixty-five hundred feet.
- Excuse me?

1374
01:07:23,873 --> 01:07:25,742
Sixty-five hundred feet down,

1375
01:07:25,875 --> 01:07:27,844
underneath your property,

1376
01:07:27,977 --> 01:07:29,846
I can hit a pay zone.

1377
01:07:29,979 --> 01:07:32,249
I'm a driller, Mr. Scheermeyer,

1378
01:07:32,382 --> 01:07:34,251
just like my father
and my grandfather.

1379
01:07:35,018 --> 01:07:38,488
And I'm just gonna get screwed
in the back end, right?

1380
01:07:38,622 --> 01:07:43,059
We'll do all the paperwork
in a little tiny print
I can't even read.

1381
01:07:43,193 --> 01:07:47,664
But at the end, all of 'em
get screwed, correct?

1382
01:07:47,797 --> 01:07:50,200
We've never done anybody wrong

1383
01:07:50,334 --> 01:07:52,669
and taken anybody down
a crooked deal.

1384
01:07:52,802 --> 01:07:54,404
Those bastards up in Abilene,

1385
01:07:54,538 --> 01:07:56,340
they're trying to tear down
my legacy

1386
01:07:56,473 --> 01:07:58,108
and they're the same people

1387
01:07:59,042 --> 01:08:01,178
that have paid you
a visit recently.

1388
01:08:02,712 --> 01:08:03,613
Uh-huh.

1389
01:08:04,414 --> 01:08:06,350
[Merle] I can make you
a fair deal

1390
01:08:06,483 --> 01:08:09,253
and we'll go in it
equal partners.

1391
01:08:10,820 --> 01:08:11,921
Would you make that deal?

1392
01:08:12,689 --> 01:08:14,124
If it was just for me? Maybe.

1393
01:08:14,258 --> 01:08:16,059
But if it was to help

1394
01:08:16,193 --> 01:08:18,228
a sweetheart like Eddy,
I absolutely would.

1395
01:08:21,498 --> 01:08:24,568
What do you think, Eddy,
you buy this shit?

1396
01:08:27,003 --> 01:08:29,072
Give me at least
a nod or a wink.

1397
01:08:30,607 --> 01:08:32,242
You think we can trust him?

1398
01:08:33,076 --> 01:08:33,943
[Eddy grunts]

1399
01:08:34,077 --> 01:08:35,745
[soft music playing]

1400
01:08:41,351 --> 01:08:44,053
- [horn honking in distance]
- What the hell?

1401
01:08:44,188 --> 01:08:46,923
- You all sent for other people?
- We-we didn't bring them.

1402
01:08:47,056 --> 01:08:49,159
Alright, Mr. Scheermeyer,
now hold on. These two--

1403
01:08:49,293 --> 01:08:52,396
I thought I told you two guys
to stay away from here.

1404
01:08:52,529 --> 01:08:54,298
You see what this is?

1405
01:08:54,431 --> 01:08:57,401
- Okay, alright.
Okay, go, go, go, go, go.
- Oh, shit!

1406
01:08:57,534 --> 01:09:01,171
This will blow
your goddamn head off.
Now, get outta here.

1407
01:09:01,305 --> 01:09:04,408
Get off my property, all of you!
Yeah, you three too!

1408
01:09:04,541 --> 01:09:06,075
Partners, my ass.

1409
01:09:06,210 --> 01:09:09,446
Every goddamned one of you
get out of my barn now!

1410
01:09:09,579 --> 01:09:11,315
There's no oil here.

1411
01:09:11,448 --> 01:09:14,017
[somber music playing]

1412
01:09:26,596 --> 01:09:27,497
[car door slams]

1413
01:09:38,007 --> 01:09:41,144
[Erwin] <i>I know
I haven't known him
as long as you have,</i>

1414
01:09:41,345 --> 01:09:44,748
<i>but I know
he appreciates you trying.</i>

1415
01:09:44,948 --> 01:09:50,320
[Faye] <i>I just hate that I got
everyone's hopes up,
that's all.</i>

1416
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,489
[Erwin] <i>No, I'm glad you did.</i>

1417
01:09:52,689 --> 01:09:55,925
<i>And today, you opened the door.</i>

1418
01:09:56,125 --> 01:09:58,061
[Faye] <i>Yeah, well, the door</i>

1419
01:09:58,194 --> 01:10:00,330
just shut in a good man's face.

1420
01:10:02,666 --> 01:10:04,000
Yeah. [exhales deeply]

1421
01:10:04,133 --> 01:10:06,736
So what are you gonna do...

1422
01:10:06,870 --> 01:10:09,639
[sighs] ...now that
you're not a real oil man?

1423
01:10:09,773 --> 01:10:10,740
[Erwin] No idea.

1424
01:10:12,175 --> 01:10:13,577
Is that wrong?

1425
01:10:13,710 --> 01:10:15,245
You're asking me that question?

1426
01:10:15,379 --> 01:10:17,381
- Yeah.
- Okay, look at where I live.

1427
01:10:17,514 --> 01:10:21,385
My house is on wheels.
I am the queen of starting over.

1428
01:10:22,452 --> 01:10:23,820
You know when you've been
to the barn

1429
01:10:23,953 --> 01:10:26,089
as many times as I have been,

1430
01:10:26,222 --> 01:10:28,758
you just take it
one whack at a time.

1431
01:10:31,861 --> 01:10:32,996
He loves you.

1432
01:10:34,631 --> 01:10:35,699
You know that, right?

1433
01:10:37,467 --> 01:10:39,235
Yeah, I know.

1434
01:10:40,537 --> 01:10:41,771
I might love him too.

1435
01:10:43,473 --> 01:10:45,074
[smacks lips] But, uh,

1436
01:10:46,410 --> 01:10:48,912
when I get too close,

1437
01:10:49,045 --> 01:10:51,114
he always ends up drifting away.

1438
01:10:52,181 --> 01:10:53,350
It wasn't always like this?

1439
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:58,888
Yeah, it all started
when he, um...

1440
01:11:01,525 --> 01:11:03,560
He lost his son
in a car crash.

1441
01:11:04,594 --> 01:11:06,195
- David?
- Mm-hmm.

1442
01:11:08,398 --> 01:11:10,800
Yeah, okay.

1443
01:11:11,668 --> 01:11:15,572
You're a good...
a good soul, you know that?

1444
01:11:17,674 --> 01:11:19,208
Yeah, you got a good heart.

1445
01:11:25,682 --> 01:11:26,816
Thank you, Faye.

1446
01:11:26,950 --> 01:11:27,951
Thank you.

1447
01:11:29,118 --> 01:11:31,388
- Have a good night.
- Bye.

1448
01:11:31,521 --> 01:11:33,490
[gentle music playing]

1449
01:11:48,772 --> 01:11:50,774
[sighs, sniffles]

1450
01:11:52,041 --> 01:11:53,810
[breathes deeply]

1451
01:12:05,288 --> 01:12:06,756
Watch those fingers, Mule.

1452
01:12:06,890 --> 01:12:08,425
- All eight of them?
- [laughs]

1453
01:12:12,161 --> 01:12:15,432
Morning, boss man.
Want a pair of work gloves?

1454
01:12:18,835 --> 01:12:22,138
[somber music playing]

1455
01:12:26,510 --> 01:12:27,511
No leases.

1456
01:12:34,183 --> 01:12:35,118
No.

1457
01:12:38,287 --> 01:12:39,956
Well, I guess you should know.

1458
01:12:40,089 --> 01:12:42,125
Crew woke up
with these on our door.

1459
01:12:44,127 --> 01:12:47,296
That's an offer letter,
drill for another outfit.

1460
01:12:47,431 --> 01:12:48,998
[clears throat]
Twice the money.

1461
01:12:52,035 --> 01:12:54,538
Four thousand signing bonus.

1462
01:12:54,671 --> 01:12:56,706
[sniffs] Sun Pride.

1463
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,008
- [paper crumples]
- Of course.

1464
01:13:01,511 --> 01:13:02,846
How many's left?

1465
01:13:06,282 --> 01:13:07,250
All of them.

1466
01:13:08,452 --> 01:13:11,821
Shit, Merle,
you gave me the reins
when no one else would.

1467
01:13:12,456 --> 01:13:14,390
That's the day I knew
I'd throw letters like this

1468
01:13:14,524 --> 01:13:16,259
down the deepest hole
I could drill.

1469
01:13:17,527 --> 01:13:19,328
[sighs] Yeah.

1470
01:13:20,564 --> 01:13:24,534
I just can't keep my feet moving
in this fight anymore, Shay.

1471
01:13:24,668 --> 01:13:26,069
Thrown my last punch.

1472
01:13:27,504 --> 01:13:30,840
You better get 'em all together.
I gotta give 'em the bad news.

1473
01:13:32,208 --> 01:13:33,610
Yes, sir.

1474
01:13:33,743 --> 01:13:35,512
I wouldn't throw
that letter away.

1475
01:13:36,312 --> 01:13:37,213
[sharp exhale]

1476
01:13:39,816 --> 01:13:41,017
I'll get 'em together.

1477
01:13:42,085 --> 01:13:46,222
Hey, y'all, listen up!
Family meeting
down here, everyone!

1478
01:13:54,764 --> 01:13:56,700
You know, back in the '40s,

1479
01:13:56,833 --> 01:13:59,803
my old granddad drilled a well
about three miles from here.

1480
01:14:00,604 --> 01:14:03,306
Yeah, they were drilling up
a storm one day

1481
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:06,810
and damn traveling block fell,
kicked off a spark,

1482
01:14:06,943 --> 01:14:09,546
the whole thing went up
like a matchstick.

1483
01:14:09,679 --> 01:14:12,716
Burned for two, three days.

1484
01:14:12,849 --> 01:14:16,753
My granddad told
a reporter later,

1485
01:14:16,886 --> 01:14:19,322
he said, "It's only
when you watch it all burn,

1486
01:14:20,289 --> 01:14:22,291
that's when you realize
what really matters."

1487
01:14:24,193 --> 01:14:25,995
He didn't give a damn
about the derrick.

1488
01:14:26,129 --> 01:14:28,231
He didn't give a damn
about the oil.

1489
01:14:30,900 --> 01:14:32,268
Just the folks
that worked for him.

1490
01:14:34,203 --> 01:14:35,739
You're all damn good hands.

1491
01:14:37,907 --> 01:14:39,308
You're all gonna get hired

1492
01:14:41,444 --> 01:14:43,312
real quick.

1493
01:14:43,446 --> 01:14:45,081
But this is gonna be
the last well

1494
01:14:45,214 --> 01:14:47,751
that we can drill together.

1495
01:14:47,884 --> 01:14:51,855
I'll pay you out
what you're owed,
pay you up today.

1496
01:14:54,157 --> 01:14:57,126
But, Merle, uh,
w-what about you?

1497
01:14:58,427 --> 01:14:59,629
What happens to you?

1498
01:15:02,065 --> 01:15:04,033
[Merle]
That's a good question, Carl.

1499
01:15:06,402 --> 01:15:08,605
Just have to see
what the wind blows in.

1500
01:15:13,276 --> 01:15:15,111
It's damn hard to say goodbye.

1501
01:15:18,915 --> 01:15:22,318
Alright, you heard him.
Let's rig out, guys,
back to work.

1502
01:15:25,321 --> 01:15:28,958
[somber music playing]

1503
01:15:32,328 --> 01:15:34,964
- [Faye] Everything okay?
- Yes, thank you.

1504
01:15:35,098 --> 01:15:36,733
[man 1] See, a lot
of these property owners

1505
01:15:36,866 --> 01:15:38,902
think they own
the mineral rights
to the properties.

1506
01:15:39,035 --> 01:15:41,470
- But that's not something
that necessarily passes down...
- More coffee?

1507
01:15:41,605 --> 01:15:44,373
...from generation
to generation.
They don't know that.

1508
01:15:44,507 --> 01:15:47,210
This is a big one.

1509
01:15:47,343 --> 01:15:49,545
Sun Pride's gonna get
this son of a bitch's oil

1510
01:15:49,679 --> 01:15:53,249
whether he signs a lease
with us or not.

1511
01:15:53,382 --> 01:15:54,984
[man 2] Whose property's
the big hickey on?

1512
01:15:55,118 --> 01:15:56,986
- [woman] Oh, yeah.
- [man 1] His name
is Scheermeyer.

1513
01:15:57,120 --> 01:16:01,024
- [man 2] Scheermeyer.
- [man 1] Yeah,
never gonna know what hit him.

1514
01:16:01,991 --> 01:16:03,827
[man 2] Well,
I got 11 rigs on order.

1515
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:06,262
[man 1] I think
we need one more.
I think 12 is the magic number.

1516
01:16:06,395 --> 01:16:08,698
- Oh, yeah? Holy--
- Oh, my goodness.
I am so sorry!

1517
01:16:08,832 --> 01:16:11,534
- Goddammit!
- I cannot believe I did that!

1518
01:16:11,668 --> 01:16:13,002
- [utensils clanks]
- Forgive me.

1519
01:16:13,136 --> 01:16:15,004
Uh, breakfast is on me,
I'm sorry.

1520
01:16:15,138 --> 01:16:16,706
- Yeah, you're damn right it is.
- I'm so sorry.

1521
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:18,274
- Let's get outta here.
- [man 2 groans]

1522
01:16:18,407 --> 01:16:20,509
Ah. Clumsy me.

1523
01:16:23,212 --> 01:16:25,514
[bell clangs]

1524
01:16:37,260 --> 01:16:39,595
[sighs heavily]

1525
01:16:41,364 --> 01:16:42,565
Someone's coming.

1526
01:16:54,610 --> 01:16:57,747
- [gentle music playing]
- [tires rumbling]

1527
01:17:05,855 --> 01:17:06,756
[car door closes]

1528
01:17:08,591 --> 01:17:09,659
Mr. Scheermeyer.

1529
01:17:10,860 --> 01:17:12,095
You know something?

1530
01:17:13,096 --> 01:17:17,967
People like you and me,
we don't really need
anything more

1531
01:17:19,068 --> 01:17:21,170
than what we earn ourselves.

1532
01:17:22,706 --> 01:17:25,074
But there comes a time when, uh,

1533
01:17:27,610 --> 01:17:30,079
we could sure use a little help.

1534
01:17:34,718 --> 01:17:35,752
You got it?

1535
01:17:37,086 --> 01:17:39,455
- Thank you.
- [Alton] You're welcome, buddy.

1536
01:17:41,725 --> 01:17:43,860
How in the hell
did you pull this off?

1537
01:17:44,728 --> 01:17:45,929
Oh, this wasn't me.

1538
01:17:48,164 --> 01:17:51,600
[gentle music playing]

1539
01:17:51,735 --> 01:17:53,002
My saving angel.

1540
01:17:55,338 --> 01:17:57,373
Now go kick that banker's ass.

1541
01:18:02,779 --> 01:18:04,213
- Hang on to that.
- Yes, sir.

1542
01:18:04,347 --> 01:18:05,648
- Shay!
- Yes, boss?

1543
01:18:05,782 --> 01:18:07,316
Let's get this rig on the road.

1544
01:18:07,450 --> 01:18:08,517
We're back in business.

1545
01:18:08,651 --> 01:18:10,486
[whooping]

1546
01:18:11,654 --> 01:18:13,957
- [Erwin] Give me the helmet.
Oh, heck, yeah!
- [cheering]

1547
01:18:21,297 --> 01:18:22,331
This is it.

1548
01:18:23,499 --> 01:18:25,668
- You feel it?
- [chuckles]

1549
01:18:25,802 --> 01:18:27,971
You better smell that oil, son.

1550
01:18:29,038 --> 01:18:30,239
I think I do.

1551
01:18:33,609 --> 01:18:35,478
- [thuds]
- So this is where your...

1552
01:18:35,611 --> 01:18:37,213
your data says
to punch the hole.

1553
01:18:37,981 --> 01:18:39,715
Yeah, I mean, I got knots
in my stomach right now

1554
01:18:39,849 --> 01:18:42,518
because it's definitely
a calculated guess.

1555
01:18:42,651 --> 01:18:44,353
Every well
is a calculated guess.

1556
01:18:44,487 --> 01:18:46,089
You just gotta stand by it.

1557
01:18:47,390 --> 01:18:48,925
Now, listen,
I wouldn't be here

1558
01:18:49,058 --> 01:18:50,526
if it weren't
for the two of you.

1559
01:18:51,394 --> 01:18:52,829
So from here on out,

1560
01:18:54,497 --> 01:18:56,165
we're all equal partners.

1561
01:19:01,704 --> 01:19:02,605
Alright.

1562
01:19:04,407 --> 01:19:06,375
We gotta strike
the first blow, partner.

1563
01:19:09,578 --> 01:19:10,713
[breathes deeply]

1564
01:19:14,417 --> 01:19:16,019
[exciting music playing]

1565
01:19:16,152 --> 01:19:18,687
[Shay] Alright, welcome
to the new drilling site, boys!

1566
01:19:18,822 --> 01:19:20,857
She's named Faye #1.

1567
01:19:20,990 --> 01:19:22,625
Shay, gather everybody around.

1568
01:19:22,758 --> 01:19:25,094
Yes, boss. Hey, everybody,
eyes down here.

1569
01:19:25,228 --> 01:19:27,530
Okay, Harvard's
our new crew member.

1570
01:19:27,663 --> 01:19:28,631
- Whoo!
- Sherwin.

1571
01:19:28,764 --> 01:19:29,899
Sherwin reporting for duty!

1572
01:19:30,033 --> 01:19:31,734
- [Mule] Sherwin in red.
- [laughter]

1573
01:19:31,868 --> 01:19:33,436
- That's what
I'm talking about, man.
- You like paperwork?

1574
01:19:33,569 --> 01:19:35,071
Now listen up.

1575
01:19:35,204 --> 01:19:38,074
This next well is our well,

1576
01:19:38,207 --> 01:19:40,043
and I own the lease.

1577
01:19:40,176 --> 01:19:41,610
But all of you
have stuck with me

1578
01:19:41,744 --> 01:19:43,813
through some pretty salty times,

1579
01:19:43,947 --> 01:19:46,883
I'm gonna take care of you
once we make a strike.

1580
01:19:47,016 --> 01:19:50,920
Now, look, the pinnacle reef
is either down there
or it's not.

1581
01:19:51,054 --> 01:19:53,456
By the grace of God,
we're gonna find it.

1582
01:19:53,589 --> 01:19:56,159
And with the bank
staring down my ass,

1583
01:19:56,292 --> 01:19:58,761
we're gonna drill this thing
wide open

1584
01:19:58,895 --> 01:20:00,997
and we got 21 days to do it.

1585
01:20:01,130 --> 01:20:02,932
How deep we drilling, boss?

1586
01:20:03,766 --> 01:20:05,268
Uh, so...

1587
01:20:07,070 --> 01:20:09,906
we're looking
at about 6,500 feet.

1588
01:20:10,039 --> 01:20:12,475
Boss, there ain't no way
we can go 6,500 in three weeks.

1589
01:20:12,608 --> 01:20:14,643
- It'll take a good four.
- [Merle] Bullshit, Virgil,

1590
01:20:14,777 --> 01:20:16,345
'cause we're bullheadin'
wide open

1591
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:19,182
all the way to the basement.
You got it?

1592
01:20:19,315 --> 01:20:22,118
- [Erwin] Got it.
- Alright, let's get to work.

1593
01:20:22,251 --> 01:20:24,320
[Shay] You heard him, boys,
let's get to work, assholes!

1594
01:20:24,453 --> 01:20:26,289
- Erwin. Gloves.
- Yeah. Right.

1595
01:20:26,422 --> 01:20:28,691
- Hard hat. Yes, sir.
- Safety first. Yeah.

1596
01:20:28,824 --> 01:20:30,326
Alright, you got everything?

1597
01:20:30,459 --> 01:20:31,961
Can I get like a wet wipe
or something?

1598
01:20:32,095 --> 01:20:34,163
- No.
- Okay.

1599
01:20:34,297 --> 01:20:35,531
- Call if you need me.
- Yeah.

1600
01:20:37,500 --> 01:20:39,802
Alright, Faye 1. Let's go.

1601
01:20:39,936 --> 01:20:44,874
- [machinery rumbling]
- [exciting music playing]

1602
01:21:07,030 --> 01:21:08,064
We got a show!

1603
01:21:09,765 --> 01:21:11,968
[exciting music playing]

1604
01:21:15,271 --> 01:21:16,572
Let's go, let's go.

1605
01:21:16,705 --> 01:21:18,741
We'll sleep when
that hole's through! Let's go!

1606
01:21:20,643 --> 01:21:22,011
[Erwin] What's the depth, Shay?

1607
01:21:22,145 --> 01:21:24,847
Looking at 1258, Harvard.

1608
01:21:25,881 --> 01:21:26,849
Roger that.

1609
01:21:40,563 --> 01:21:42,565
We're fixin' to make a well,
you idiots!

1610
01:21:42,698 --> 01:21:45,668
[exciting music
continues playing]

1611
01:21:49,305 --> 01:21:50,339
Yeah.

1612
01:21:50,473 --> 01:21:51,907
- [Shay] Okay?
- No, we're good.

1613
01:21:52,041 --> 01:21:53,042
[taps machinery]

1614
01:21:53,176 --> 01:21:55,044
Let's go, let's go.

1615
01:21:55,178 --> 01:21:56,412
[Shay] Kelly down!

1616
01:22:03,252 --> 01:22:05,554
Shay, any update?

1617
01:22:05,688 --> 01:22:06,755
[Shay] Pipe's going down.

1618
01:22:07,991 --> 01:22:09,758
The oil ain't coming up.

1619
01:22:12,328 --> 01:22:15,198
[calm music playing]

1620
01:22:27,110 --> 01:22:30,146
[machinery rumbles, stops]

1621
01:22:30,279 --> 01:22:33,382
We ought to do a quick
rig service. Chow time!

1622
01:22:33,516 --> 01:22:35,551
- [Erwin] No pickles, right?
- [Faye] Ah...

1623
01:22:35,684 --> 01:22:38,054
- Ah, you did it again.
- You know what, you gotta
pick your pickles out.

1624
01:22:38,187 --> 01:22:39,955
- Sorry, sorry.
- Oh, good deal.

1625
01:22:40,089 --> 01:22:42,325
- Yeah. For you.
- Thank you.

1626
01:22:42,458 --> 01:22:45,461
How long is it gonna take
to finish the service?

1627
01:22:45,594 --> 01:22:47,763
About five more minutes,
we'll be up and running.

1628
01:22:48,697 --> 01:22:51,467
- Mmm.
- Although with Mule,
it might be seven.

1629
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:54,170
- [Faye] Yummy.
- Alright, takeaway. Thank you.

1630
01:22:54,303 --> 01:22:56,939
Hey, Virgil. You hear that?

1631
01:22:57,073 --> 01:23:01,410
[metal rumbling in distance]

1632
01:23:01,544 --> 01:23:03,446
- Hmm.
- Yeah.

1633
01:23:20,096 --> 01:23:21,264
What is that?

1634
01:23:21,397 --> 01:23:25,934
[metal rumbling in distance]

1635
01:23:34,477 --> 01:23:35,878
Shit, that's close.

1636
01:23:39,582 --> 01:23:40,849
Hey, what are they doing?

1637
01:23:47,590 --> 01:23:50,726
- Shit, it's open!
- Faye, go, go, go! [grunts]

1638
01:23:50,859 --> 01:23:52,361
- [gunfire]
- Take cover.

1639
01:23:52,495 --> 01:23:53,996
[Shay] What the hell
are they shooting at?

1640
01:23:54,130 --> 01:23:56,499
They're shooting
at the rig. Get down!

1641
01:23:56,632 --> 01:23:58,867
Virgil, what's going on?

1642
01:23:59,001 --> 01:24:00,002
I don't know!

1643
01:24:00,769 --> 01:24:02,838
They knock out that engine,
we're done for!

1644
01:24:04,107 --> 01:24:05,808
Merle, where are you going?

1645
01:24:06,975 --> 01:24:07,876
Merle!

1646
01:24:09,145 --> 01:24:10,313
What are you doing?

1647
01:24:11,847 --> 01:24:13,216
- Hey!
- Get down!

1648
01:24:13,349 --> 01:24:15,184
Merle! Get down!

1649
01:24:15,318 --> 01:24:17,253
Sons of bitches!

1650
01:24:19,322 --> 01:24:20,223
Ah!

1651
01:24:22,625 --> 01:24:24,893
[grunts, groans]

1652
01:24:26,629 --> 01:24:29,031
Merle! You are crazy!

1653
01:24:29,165 --> 01:24:30,733
- Wait--
- [groans]

1654
01:24:32,168 --> 01:24:34,270
Faye, wait, don't! Faye!

1655
01:24:35,037 --> 01:24:36,372
[shooter] Shit!

1656
01:24:39,007 --> 01:24:40,376
Get us out of here!

1657
01:24:40,509 --> 01:24:42,445
[whirring]

1658
01:24:47,082 --> 01:24:50,219
[Merle grunting, groaning]

1659
01:24:50,353 --> 01:24:52,721
- [panting]
- [Erwin] Merle! Merle!

1660
01:24:52,855 --> 01:24:54,223
Wait a minute.

1661
01:24:54,357 --> 01:24:56,058
- [Merle] Let me go peacefully.
- That's not blood.

1662
01:24:56,192 --> 01:24:57,793
- What?
- It's whiskey.

1663
01:24:57,926 --> 01:25:00,396
- Oh!
- Oh, my God.

1664
01:25:00,529 --> 01:25:01,864
You lucky son of a bitch.

1665
01:25:01,997 --> 01:25:04,800
Anybody but Virgil,
the last person to see.

1666
01:25:04,933 --> 01:25:06,635
- Oh, my God.
- He's alright.

1667
01:25:06,769 --> 01:25:08,804
Oh, my God, it's your flask.

1668
01:25:08,937 --> 01:25:11,640
- Uh, flask?
- Your flask saved your life.

1669
01:25:11,774 --> 01:25:13,309
- So much was in there.
- Oh, my God.

1670
01:25:13,442 --> 01:25:16,379
- I think you're alright.
- Oh, my God.

1671
01:25:16,512 --> 01:25:19,081
- Oh, Jesus.
- Oh, my God.

1672
01:25:19,215 --> 01:25:21,484
Okay, is everybody alright?

1673
01:25:21,617 --> 01:25:23,952
- Yes, sir.
- Keepsake.

1674
01:25:24,086 --> 01:25:25,454
[breathes deeply]

1675
01:25:25,588 --> 01:25:27,089
Let's get back to work.

1676
01:25:27,223 --> 01:25:28,724
- Oh, Merle.
- What?

1677
01:25:28,857 --> 01:25:30,559
Yeah, you heard him,
check the rig.

1678
01:25:30,693 --> 01:25:33,296
- You're joking, right?
- [groans] Huh? Let's go, Shay.

1679
01:25:33,429 --> 01:25:35,431
- You're not serious.
Get back to work?
- Yeah.

1680
01:25:35,564 --> 01:25:38,434
Your entire crew
just gets shot at
and you say get back to work?

1681
01:25:38,567 --> 01:25:41,103
Are you crazy? No.

1682
01:25:41,237 --> 01:25:44,139
What we should be doing is,
I just got that entire thing
on video.

1683
01:25:44,273 --> 01:25:46,309
We should be going to the police
and finding out who did that.

1684
01:25:46,442 --> 01:25:49,345
- That's all we should be
doing right now, Merle!
- I got a well to finish.

1685
01:25:49,478 --> 01:25:50,946
Those sons of bitches
are right there

1686
01:25:51,079 --> 01:25:52,615
trying to take it
all away from me.

1687
01:25:52,748 --> 01:25:55,318
- Merle, I almost just died!
- Get your ass back to work

1688
01:25:55,451 --> 01:25:56,752
or you're fired!

1689
01:25:56,885 --> 01:25:59,087
- Everybody, let's go.
- "Fired"?

1690
01:25:59,222 --> 01:26:01,824
- [Shay] You heard him.
Let's go, boys, move out.
- He's the boss, Erwin.

1691
01:26:02,591 --> 01:26:05,328
- Let's go, Shay.
- Check that engine
real good, Mule.

1692
01:26:05,461 --> 01:26:07,363
- Alright, let's roll.
- Fire it up.

1693
01:26:07,496 --> 01:26:09,164
[Shay] Yes, boss.
Give me the all clear.

1694
01:26:09,298 --> 01:26:11,634
- All clear.
- [engine rumbling]

1695
01:26:15,938 --> 01:26:17,940
[soft music playing]

1696
01:26:29,017 --> 01:26:31,454
[Merle] One more day,
I think we're gonna get there.

1697
01:26:38,994 --> 01:26:42,731
You really are willing to risk
everything, aren't you?

1698
01:26:46,201 --> 01:26:47,303
Yes, I am.

1699
01:26:51,139 --> 01:26:53,476
Did that ever come
between you and David?

1700
01:26:55,210 --> 01:26:57,212
Yeah, there was a lot
that came between...

1701
01:27:00,048 --> 01:27:01,717
David and I.

1702
01:27:01,850 --> 01:27:05,254
Yeah, Faye told me
what happened to him.

1703
01:27:07,790 --> 01:27:09,492
It's just...

1704
01:27:09,625 --> 01:27:11,226
It's an odd thing about life.

1705
01:27:14,697 --> 01:27:16,599
You think you're gonna
have someone

1706
01:27:19,067 --> 01:27:20,569
as long as you live

1707
01:27:24,307 --> 01:27:26,074
and then one day
they're just gone.

1708
01:27:30,646 --> 01:27:31,714
No goodbye.

1709
01:27:34,483 --> 01:27:38,086
We get so busy
trying to get ahead,

1710
01:27:38,220 --> 01:27:39,722
take care of everybody.

1711
01:27:43,926 --> 01:27:46,562
Sometimes you just end up
pushing people away.

1712
01:27:48,764 --> 01:27:51,099
I think your father means well.

1713
01:27:51,233 --> 01:27:52,601
He just tries too hard.

1714
01:28:01,510 --> 01:28:02,778
I just feel like...

1715
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:07,215
I've never been given
the opportunity

1716
01:28:08,851 --> 01:28:10,052
to make him proud.

1717
01:28:13,756 --> 01:28:14,823
Tell him that.

1718
01:28:15,958 --> 01:28:19,462
It may surprise you how...
how much he can actually hear.

1719
01:28:20,363 --> 01:28:22,598
[sniffles, grunts]

1720
01:28:23,899 --> 01:28:25,233
Give him a call though,

1721
01:28:26,301 --> 01:28:27,570
when we're bust.

1722
01:28:29,972 --> 01:28:31,273
I think you both deserve it,

1723
01:28:33,909 --> 01:28:34,977
another chance.

1724
01:28:57,165 --> 01:29:01,136
Well, Mr. Scheermeyer,
it's the last day
and still nothing.

1725
01:29:02,571 --> 01:29:04,840
We still have
until five o'clock,

1726
01:29:04,973 --> 01:29:07,443
but then the bank's
gonna shut us down.

1727
01:29:08,310 --> 01:29:09,311
Yes, sir.

1728
01:29:13,248 --> 01:29:14,149
Shit.

1729
01:29:15,851 --> 01:29:18,821
[machinery rumbling]

1730
01:29:18,954 --> 01:29:21,657
Hey, Virgil,
what's happening now?

1731
01:29:21,790 --> 01:29:24,693
Until the drilling
breaks from a rate
of six minutes a foot

1732
01:29:24,827 --> 01:29:26,695
to 15 seconds a foot,
you got nothing.

1733
01:29:26,829 --> 01:29:29,965
But, if she breaks,
it'll be like drilling
a damn snowbank.

1734
01:29:30,098 --> 01:29:31,500
Merle, what she at?

1735
01:29:31,634 --> 01:29:34,202
6,526. Where's that reef?

1736
01:29:34,336 --> 01:29:36,539
Supposed to be at 6,500!

1737
01:29:36,672 --> 01:29:39,542
[machinery rumbling]

1738
01:29:39,675 --> 01:29:41,410
Kelly down!

1739
01:29:41,544 --> 01:29:44,012
- [Erwin] Kelly down?
- We gotta add another piece!

1740
01:29:44,146 --> 01:29:45,147
Kelly down.

1741
01:29:47,149 --> 01:29:51,186
[tense music playing]

1742
01:29:56,892 --> 01:29:57,860
Ugh.

1743
01:30:03,165 --> 01:30:06,301
- [radio beeps]
- Hey, Merle,

1744
01:30:06,502 --> 01:30:08,370
<i>bank's here
to shut you down, buddy.</i>

1745
01:30:10,372 --> 01:30:12,207
- Time!
- 4:46.

1746
01:30:12,340 --> 01:30:14,677
You're 14 minutes too early.

1747
01:30:15,511 --> 01:30:17,513
Let's go.
They're not shutting down.

1748
01:30:17,646 --> 01:30:19,882
Let's go, Jack.
Let's go, Max is coming.

1749
01:30:20,015 --> 01:30:21,917
- [radio beep]
- I can't hear you, Donnie.

1750
01:30:22,050 --> 01:30:24,286
Let's go, Jack.

1751
01:30:25,087 --> 01:30:26,088
[thuds]

1752
01:30:27,322 --> 01:30:28,791
Why did I bring you out here?

1753
01:30:28,924 --> 01:30:30,425
[tense music playing]

1754
01:30:30,559 --> 01:30:32,728
[Shay] Mmm... whoa!

1755
01:30:32,861 --> 01:30:35,531
Connection made, let's go!

1756
01:30:35,664 --> 01:30:37,365
Let's go, run her wide open.

1757
01:30:37,500 --> 01:30:39,067
[Shay] Yes, boss, wide open.

1758
01:30:42,505 --> 01:30:44,072
Alright, I'm gonna go
deal with Max.

1759
01:30:47,409 --> 01:30:48,310
Max.

1760
01:30:49,411 --> 01:30:50,979
Time to collect, boys.

1761
01:30:52,447 --> 01:30:53,749
Alright, let's go, Jack.

1762
01:30:53,882 --> 01:30:55,217
Hey, you know it's not time yet.

1763
01:30:55,350 --> 01:30:57,820
Shut up, Jack.
Get your ass up there.

1764
01:30:59,755 --> 01:31:01,657
Come on, Jack, let's go.

1765
01:31:01,790 --> 01:31:03,626
Time to go. Shut 'em down.

1766
01:31:05,127 --> 01:31:07,129
[suspenseful music playing]

1767
01:31:10,566 --> 01:31:13,235
We're getting gas cut by.
Keep circulating.

1768
01:31:13,368 --> 01:31:15,671
- I got it, boss.
- Virgil, let's go check
those cuttings.

1769
01:31:29,251 --> 01:31:30,185
Good odor.

1770
01:31:30,318 --> 01:31:31,654
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

1771
01:31:35,558 --> 01:31:36,525
Damn good odor.

1772
01:31:41,296 --> 01:31:43,932
Their time's up, Jack.
Time to shut 'em down.

1773
01:31:44,066 --> 01:31:45,467
Time to shut 'em down.

1774
01:31:45,601 --> 01:31:46,802
Hey, Merle!

1775
01:31:51,339 --> 01:31:53,108
- What is that?
- You hear that?

1776
01:31:53,241 --> 01:31:55,544
[rumbling]

1777
01:32:00,849 --> 01:32:03,786
- Yeah.
- Don. Don.

1778
01:32:04,519 --> 01:32:06,622
[cows mooing]

1779
01:32:06,755 --> 01:32:09,658
- Shit.
- Oh, no, no!
Open the door, Jack!

1780
01:32:09,792 --> 01:32:11,860
- [laughs]
- Open the door, Jack!

1781
01:32:11,994 --> 01:32:14,162
- [laughs]
- Jack! Open the door!

1782
01:32:14,296 --> 01:32:15,998
Open the door, Jack!

1783
01:32:16,131 --> 01:32:18,567
Open-- [screams]
Open the door!

1784
01:32:27,542 --> 01:32:29,912
- I hate you, Jack, I hate you!
- [Jack laughing]

1785
01:32:34,650 --> 01:32:35,651
Bull's-eye.

1786
01:32:37,019 --> 01:32:38,520
Get Don on the phone now!

1787
01:32:40,656 --> 01:32:43,892
Don! Shut Luskey down!

1788
01:32:44,026 --> 01:32:45,894
I'll make it happen. Chad!

1789
01:32:46,028 --> 01:32:47,529
- Get your ass up here.
- Alright.

1790
01:32:47,663 --> 01:32:49,064
It's time for you
to earn your money!

1791
01:32:49,998 --> 01:32:52,735
Will you do something?
Just do your job!

1792
01:32:56,571 --> 01:32:58,440
Break, you son of a bitch!

1793
01:33:06,181 --> 01:33:08,016
[gentle music playing]

1794
01:33:22,597 --> 01:33:26,534
[rumbling]

1795
01:33:27,736 --> 01:33:28,904
Oh, no.

1796
01:33:29,672 --> 01:33:30,739
Oh, no.

1797
01:33:32,074 --> 01:33:34,142
- [rattling]
- [rumbling]

1798
01:33:38,246 --> 01:33:41,249
[machinery rattling, rumbling]

1799
01:33:42,718 --> 01:33:46,288
Merle. That flow rate
is spiking awfully fast!

1800
01:33:46,421 --> 01:33:47,890
Stay in there!

1801
01:33:50,893 --> 01:33:52,795
- Ha! What?
- Yeah.

1802
01:33:56,765 --> 01:33:59,101
- [rumbling]
- Virgil?

1803
01:34:05,908 --> 01:34:09,077
Whoo! Holy cow!

1804
01:34:09,211 --> 01:34:12,280
[Merle] Alright. Now, the horn!

1805
01:34:12,414 --> 01:34:13,782
She's ready to blow!

1806
01:34:13,916 --> 01:34:16,484
[honks]

1807
01:34:16,618 --> 01:34:18,353
Alright, Shay. Let's go!

1808
01:34:31,399 --> 01:34:32,935
Merle! Merle!

1809
01:34:36,304 --> 01:34:41,209
[rattling, rumbling]

1810
01:34:41,343 --> 01:34:43,311

[cheering, whooping]

1815
01:35:46,208 --> 01:35:47,776
Good job.

1816
01:35:52,580 --> 01:35:54,016
Let's get outta here.

1817
01:35:59,021 --> 01:36:01,756
- [car drives away in distance]
- [squeaks]

1818

01:36:55,743 --> 01:36:56,644
[Erwin chuckles]

1821
01:36:57,812 --> 01:36:59,347
I'm gonna miss this place.

1822
01:36:59,481 --> 01:37:00,815
I would too.

1823
01:37:02,717 --> 01:37:04,252
Think I'm finally gonna buy it.

1824
01:37:05,753 --> 01:37:07,189
Hallelujah.

1825
01:37:09,224 --> 01:37:10,926
Despite our best efforts,

1826
01:37:11,059 --> 01:37:12,627
I think you're gonna be alright.

1827
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:14,863
Oh, Faye.

1828
01:37:14,997 --> 01:37:17,099
Oh, I'm gonna miss you.

1829
01:37:17,232 --> 01:37:19,134
I'm gonna miss you too.

1830
01:37:19,267 --> 01:37:20,535
[inhales, kisses]

1831
01:37:22,637 --> 01:37:24,506
Mmm. Okay.

1832
01:37:26,174 --> 01:37:28,176
Come on outside,
I got something to show you.

1833
01:37:36,118 --> 01:37:37,452
[bell clangs]

1834
01:37:42,958 --> 01:37:47,896
[engine rumbling]

1835
01:37:52,534 --> 01:37:55,137
[laughing]

1836
01:37:55,270 --> 01:37:56,338
- No way.
- Recognize that?

1837
01:37:56,471 --> 01:37:58,040
Merle, what the--

1838
01:37:58,173 --> 01:38:00,008
She's not a piece
of shit anymore!
Look at this thing!

1839
01:38:00,142 --> 01:38:02,177
Yeah, we can't have
no oil tycoon

1840
01:38:02,310 --> 01:38:04,879
going back to California
in a piece of shit.

1841
01:38:05,013 --> 01:38:07,149
- Are those new rims?
- [car door opens]

1842
01:38:22,297 --> 01:38:23,731
It's a bit early
for a Christmas present.

1843
01:38:25,167 --> 01:38:26,068
Hey.

1844
01:38:28,570 --> 01:38:30,205
Why don't you go on
and open it?

1845
01:38:35,710 --> 01:38:38,846
- [soft music playing]
- [paper rustling]

1846
01:38:44,719 --> 01:38:46,454
Genuine chocolate lizards.

1847
01:38:49,157 --> 01:38:50,592
You're an oil man now.

1848
01:38:54,096 --> 01:38:55,697
Just like my David.

1849
01:38:55,830 --> 01:38:59,067
[gentle music playing]

1850
01:39:08,610 --> 01:39:09,944
Can't thank you enough, Merle.

1851
01:39:13,848 --> 01:39:15,317
You better get outta here.

1852
01:39:36,804 --> 01:39:37,939
[car door closes]

1853
01:39:46,081 --> 01:39:47,082
[revs]

1854
01:40:10,172 --> 01:40:12,540
[line rings]

1855
01:40:15,077 --> 01:40:17,312
<i>Hey, Dad, it's Erwin.</i>

1856
01:40:24,986 --> 01:40:27,989
[upbeat country music playing]

1857
01:40:48,210 --> 01:40:51,213
["Funny Feeling"
by Graham Wilkinson playing]

1858
01:43:44,952 --> 01:43:46,921
[song fades]
