- I'm gonna get you disbarred
your spineless piece of shit.
You should never have come home.
- You told me to come home.
- Why on earth would you ever listen to me?
(sad piano music)
- I was thinking about cancer.
What it is, essentially,
is the body cells' so deformed,
they turn on the body itself.
They start feeding.
Cancer doesn't have much foresight,
so kills its host, which kills it.
Cancer is suicide from the inside out.
That's what you are, Beth.
- Wow, that's really deep, Jamie.
You must be watching "Ted Talks" on YouTube.
- Come with me.
We're gonna finish this tonight.
- This feels like something
I'll be discussing with a therapist.
(horse snorting)
In the barn with my brother.
This feels like a Greek tragedy.
If you bring out a goat, I'm fucking leaving.
- Oh my God, you are such a fucking child!
- Well, I'm a child running for an office
no one thinks you can win.
- All I do.
Every day is fight for this family!
What have you ever done?
- Oh, you're a fighter, Jamie!
You just don't win 'em!
- The hell I don't!
- If you were winning, I wouldn't be here!
He only calls me when you lose.
- What did I ever lose?
This is the largest ranch in Montana!
It's 200,000 acres larger
than it was when I became Chief Council!
- Argue with him, Jamie, 'cause I just don't care!
I don't give a shit about this place!
If dad died tomorrow,
I would sell my share to the Four Seasons
and I would swim laps in the pool
they built without an ounce of remorse!
Everything I do is for him and everything you do is for you!
The only reason I'm here is 'cause he can't trust you.
- You are so toxic.
Hello?
- For someone with no spine,
you sure got a lot of balls.
- I need you to forget about how we feel about each other
and remember one thing.
We're family.
(Beth sighing)
- I love how people think that word entitles them to
absolution from the people whose lives they ruin.
We owe you nothing.
- God dammit!
Can you please attempt to resemble something human?
Listen to me and give me some fucking guidance here.
- How'd you fuck him this time?
- I didn't fuck anything.
I ran for the office he told me to run
for and you chose someone to run against me!
- Chose well, didn't I?
Maybe when she's in office, she'll ask you to clerk.
No one researches like you, Jamie.
- I have a donor willing to fund my campaign.
- Let me guess.
He's a Russian wants you to have a Facebook blast?
- Hey, this is my life, Beth!
I'm asking for you to...
Here.
This is my donor.
(ominous music)
- Jamie, you're not a politician, okay?
Politicians believe that they can
manage people's lives better than they can.
The best politicians are narcissists.
The very best should probably be committed.
You aren't that.
Let's be honest.
You don't know who the fuck you are
and you're looking for the world to tell you.
You reek of desperation and they can smell it.
They will pull you, they will twist you,
and they will tear you into tiny pieces.
And our father with you.
- So what do I do?
- You think about everyone else in your life but you.
And you do what's best for them.
- Fuck.
What the fuck, Beth?
(cellphone vibrating) (suspenseful music)
- [Sarah] Jamie, it's Sarah.
I just wanted to confirm some facts.
- Who's Sarah?
Jumpy, jumpy, jumpy.
What's got you so nervous, I wonder?
- Well, you scared the fucking shit out of me
and I'll tell you what makes me nervous.
This.
Why a trust?
- You're an attorney, Jamie.
I shouldn't have to explain it to you.
- Okay, why am I not in it?
- Do I really have to tell you that, too?
Here's all of the things I don't believe.
I don't believe you're capable
of swallowing your pride and contributing to this family.
I don't believe our father will ever trust you again,
which is why I don't believe you have a role here anymore.
- You wanna know what my role is?
(Jamie chuckling)
Well, I think you're putting this all
in the trust so you can control the money,
so you can do this, and this, and this!
- The ranch is an investor, yes.
- How big an investor?
I manage the finances, Beth.
I need to know.
How big?
- $5 million.
No, I know, Jamie.
You're worried about the risk.
Two things.
One, the risk is mitigated.
Two, if you didn't have balls the size of quail eggs,
you would've invested this money years ago
and he wouldn't be chasing his fucking tail every fall.
Good work.
- Hey, Beth, that is over half the ranch's cash!
What are we gonna do in November if cattle prices go down?
How much money do you think this ranch makes in a year
after payroll, and property taxes, and hay,
and countless other expenses?
Nothing!
This ranch has not turned a profit in six years
and maybe you don't understand the impact
of a few hundred dead cattle,
but that's half a million dollars rotting in the field!
You fucked us.
Fucked!
Us!
I want the ranch out and I want it out by today.
- It doesn't work like that, Jamie.
- You make it work like that!
- Fuck, now I see.
You think you're gonna get him to trust you
by making him not trust me?
I wish you and your bird balls the best of luck.
- You...
(Jamie crying)
- I blame myself.
To a degree.
You know what's so dangerous about you, Jamie?
Is you justify every act before you commit 'em.
You're consumed with the world's perception of you.
What kind of man I am?
That's not a question you ever ask yourself.
What does the world think of me?
That's the only question you ask.
Morality,
loyalty,
not part of the equation for you,
but you've finally done something that makes you
see yourself the way the world does.
The way I see you,
the way he sees you,
and no amount of scrubbing is gonna change that.
You going to a funeral?
- Helena.
Got work to do.
- Won't work Saturdays for us,
but you're sure working for yourself.
- Enough of this shit!
- Uh oh.
I made him mad and he's not gonna take it anymore.
- Let's just skip straight to the problem,
the real problem between us.
- It's too early in the morning
to dig up that skeleton, Jamie.
- Well, I'm digging it up anyway.
- You know what is so fucking dangerous about you?
Is you actually believe that you're helping.
Like, in your heart, you believe that,
but you refuse to look at the results of your help.
You refuse to acknowledge the carnage that your help
leaves behind.
Because as a man, you're broken.
Your soul, your mind is broken.
And it's not your fault, I guess.
He made you into something you had no business being.
I guess that's why he did it.
But there's just no right or wrong with you.
Just his approval.
That's all that matters to you, that's all you are,
but his disapproval, man, and how much you fear it,
that is what makes you truly evil, Jamie.
And you are evil.
You know that?
You have to know that.
- All I have ever tried to do is protect this family
most of the time from itself.
You more than anyone should understand that.
- I'm gonna tell you a little secret.
The more you become what he wanted you to become,
the more he'll hate you for it.
And he does hate you for it.
We all do.
- I should've said no.
That's what I should've done.
Because then you couldn't blame me
for doing exactly what you asked me to do!
- I didn't ask you for a fucking hysterectomy.
(Beth chuckling)
You know, when you consider the pain
that you cause a person the person's fault,
that's evil, Jamie.
(suspenseful music)
- Roarke, I'll have to call you back.
Let her in.
- Can I have a moment alone with my brother, please?
(door squeaking)
So we had to clear out your room, you know,
for daddy's hospice bed.
And I found, it's so cute,
it reminded me of when you were just a wee lad.
- Ow!
Son of a bitch!
- No, that wasn't it.
It was this.
(glass shattering)
(metal banging)
Look me in the fucking eyes.
- You are fucking crazy and I'm gonna have you arrested!
- I've waited two months for this moment, Jamie.
Two months of praying and bartering with God
for his survival.
And guess what?
He did survive.
I thought you'd like to know that
seeing as you never visited once.
You never called once.
- I called every day!
I just didn't call you!
- It was you, wasn't it?
- It was me what?
(Beth sighing)
- I'm gonna tell you something.
And it's for me, it's not for you.
See, I want you to know it now so you can think about it
and not sleep and worry and dread.
I'm gonna kill you.
But when I do it, I'm not gonna farm it out like you,
you fucking coward.
I'm gonna do it myself.
- You think that I would-
- I'm gonna kill you, Jamie.
I'm gonna fucking kill you for what you did to my family.
- Think hard about what you're saying, Beth!
You're threatening a state official!
- I am threatening the whole fucking state.
(ominous music)
- Your nine o'clock is in the conference room.
- What's my nine o'clock?
- Head of Operations for Market Equities.
- Fucking shit.
Fuck.
(Jamie sighing)
What the fuck are you doing here?
- My job.
- You're Market Equities' Head of Operation?
How'd you manage that?
- I don't know, Jamie.
I think the stars just aligned.
You ever hear the saying,
"Wherever something good is trying to happen,
something bad is trying to stop it?"
- I've heard it.
- I'm something bad.
(ominous music)
- You're gonna ruin everything, aren't you?
- Everything, you miserable motherfucker.
