Falcon Song (2014) - full transcript

♪

-The best you could
possibly get.

Certainly nowhere in this town

you're not gonna find
anything like this.

And, uh, kind of keep it
between you and US.

She's my love.
She's my life.

Now, that ... that used to belong
to buddy Holly's tech guy.

I'm gonna miss this baby.

I got the paperwork
to prove that right here.

And, uh, you got to hear this
to believe it, man.



All right.

[ Guitar plays ]
Wonder years there.

-Ooh.

-Whoo-hoo!

[ Laughs ]

Those are
the angels singing.

-Damn.
-That's what that is.

I know you're not
used to that,

but that's what that is.

Those are all
original components, man.

It's none of that cheap stuff

that you find in all those
mass-produced amps, man.

Those are all ... that's all
hand-wired circuitry.

It's totally indestructible.



-Does it get louder?
-"Does it get louder?"

That's what this
"loud" button's here for.

You might not know
the terminology,

but that's what that is.
[ Guitar plays ]

[ Chuckles ]

-What the hell
is that from?

-Oh, man. No, you don't
got to worry about that.

Don't worry about that
at all.

It's just some of the ...

got to replace
one of the power tubes.

That's no big deal.

-All right.

We got a deal.

-Yeah.

There we go, man.

-We got a deal.
-Enjoy.

Hey, hey.

Guitar's not for sale, man.

-I'm taking both.

-No, you're not
taking both.

Man, seriously,
come on. Really?

[ Chuckles ]
Really?

-Seriously,
I'm taking both.

-They're both fakes,
you dumb roughneck!

[ Grunts ]

-Yeah?

-Back off, man.

Hey, back off.
-Elmer.

-Get out of here.
Let it go.

Get out of here.
Get out of here.

-I ain't finished with you.

-I got your money.
-Yeah, I ain't
finished with you.

-Go. Stop talking.
Stop talking. Go.

[ The secret language's
"inkwell" plays ]

-♪ Baby's got sunday off

♪ think we'll drive
to the beach ♪

♪ she's all I ever wanted

♪ oh, at least
within my reach ♪

♪ Friday nights,
she serves coffee ♪

-Most people call him "monster."

I know him from back home.
-[ Chuckles ]

All right, man, well, I-I owe
you one for that. Thank you.

-Ah, it's no problem.
-Yeah.

-He had it coming, anyway.
Guy's always starting trouble.

Just don't try and pull any
of those scams on me,

all right?
-[ Chuckles ]

All right.
-What's your name?

-Syd.
-Randy.

-All right.
-This here's frank.

He's one of the best
field techs we got.

-You work on our rig?

-No, no, no.
I'm, uh, just in town.

Heading to Portland.

-Portland.
-Musician, you know.

-Wow.
-Yep.

-Pull in any money doing that?

-No, not at all.

-I could put in
a good word for you if you want.

My friend works for the company
that runs this place,

and they always need extra help.

-Yeah?
-There you go.

Been here five minutes,
got in a fight anda job.

-[ Laughs ]

[ Device beeping ]

-That's it.

[ Spits ]

[ Beeping continues ]

-You saving that stuff?

-Huh?
-You saving that stuff?

-Well, you never know
what you can sell, right?

-Well, that thing's
not gonna do you much good.

-No?
-Divining rods are just fantasy.

-Hmm.
You ever use one?

-No.

They're like tarot cards.

If you like to believe
in that sort of thing,

your mind just
finds a way to validate it.

-Yeah, like with that thing that
you're wearing ... that thing.

[ Chuckles ]

-No, this ... this thing's ...
this thing's purely scientific.

This is the, uh,
divining rod of the new age.

It's custom-built.

I can find oil
with it anywhere.

It's not like believing
in magical powers.

-Well, I don't care
what people believe in,

just as long as they're willing
to pay me for it.

-You know, I can fix up
that old amp of yours.

Maybe someone
might actually buy it.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

-If you fix it, I'll give you
a cut of the sales.

-Okay.
-Yeah?

Think about that.

Look at you. You're looking good
in this thing.

[ Insects chirping ]

Has, um ... has frank ever,
like, lit a field on fire

or blown up this rv before?
-Oh, many times.

-Frank, what are you doing, man?
-Many times.

-You're just gonna fix it.

You don't need to turn it
into a nuclear bomb.

-You are so full of it.

That is not really
buddy Holly's tech guy's amp

or whatever you told monster.
-Well, no, no, no.

I'll tell you what, though,
it is a ...

-the housing is a reproduction.
That's this guy.
-Uh-huh.

-But the speaker system,
what frank is turning into a
spaceship, that is all original.

-I got it.
-Okay.

-You got what?
-Oh, man, what do you got?

-Look at what you did
to the face of it.

Turn it ... just ...
just see if it works.

-There you go.

[ Guitar plays, feedback ]

-All right?
That sounds good.

That sounds real good.
-I don't know.

It sounds
a little off to me, guys.

-I ... you need to open
your mind, man.

You need to open your ears.

-My ears are open.
That's the problem.

It's coming from here.
-Check this out.

Custom modification.
[ Feedback ]

If you really want to see
its full potential,

press this button.

-Oh, god.

-That button?

-Go ahead.
Press it.

[ Buzzing, humming ]

[ Electricity crackles ]

-Oh!
-Whoa!

-Hey!
-Whoa!

-I have to make
a-a few minor repairs.

[ Siren wails,
electricity crackles ]

-Frank!

Which one of you was it?

The whole grid went down!

Now somebody's gonna
get fired for it!

I'll just fire y'all.

There's plenty of other
lunkheads waiting in
line to take your jobs.

-Man, that was me.
-Figures.

I don't want to see this guy
around here again.

And you two
are suspended for a month!

-Oh, come on.

[ Engine turns over ]

-Always nice seeing you, boss.

-[ Laughing ]

-Thanks, Syd.

-It was probably monster.

-[ Laughs ]

Oh, man.

Well, at least I can, uh ...

I can sleepin it.

I could do that,
just till I scrounge

enough ... enough, uh, money
to get it fixed.

[ Sighs ]

-Well...man, I guess
I'm heading home for a month.

It's only about an hour away.

You can ... you can stay with me
until you get your feet.

-Thanks, man.
I'm not gonna ...

you know, I won't stay long.

Just until I can get
back on the road, right?

-Hey, man, stay as long
as you need to.

-Okay, good.
[ Sighs ]

-Yeah.
-I'm sorry, Syd.

-It's fine. We'll get it fixed,
man. Don't worry about it.

-Don't touch it.

[ Drumming ]

-Psst!
[ Drumming stops ]

Welcome to the monthly meeting

of the town of black paw's
preservation society.

This is the 173rd meeting

since the dawn
of our great organization.

We are having a hay-bale drive
starting next month.

And the annual moose-calf census
has been postponed.

Now, up first...

Is the issue
that Paul has been having

with bluebirds
in his front yard.

You say that some kids have been
feeding them antacids?

-Yeah.
Makes them explode.

-Have you actually seen
one of these birds explode?

-Well, no.

But I've heard that
their stomachs are too small

to withstand the pressure
from the fizz.

-Anybody else have
any research on this?

Okay, then.

-This is stuff
is a waste of time.

Just a few hundred miles
from here, you got people

trying to flush
the old ways down the toilet.

Hell, they're wiping out
whole counties

in the name of progress.

Right here in black paw,
you got people just waiting

for the right moment
to ... to change everything.

-"Preserve and protect."

Our fifth motto.
-[ Sighs ]

I've had several offers
on my ranch recently.

-From who, jabez?

-Cap Davenport.

-Heck, cap Davenport's
buying up half the town.

And for what?

To ruin it all to hell.
That's what.

-Slim, lot of people in this
town don't see it that way.

-It's 'cause
he's buying them all off.

For cheap, too.

And they're just letting him.

They don't get it.

-Well, ido.

We've had some really hard times
around here recently

for a lot of folks.

Guy comes along, offers to take
the troubles off your hands,

and you start thinking about it
long and hard.

-Jabez.

You're not considering it,
are you?

-[ Chuckles ]
Me? No.

No, my family's lived and died
in falcon ranch

going on five generations now.

Some of them even died
fighting outsiders

who had an eye for carving up
the land, stripping it,

not just of its value,
but of its soul.

-Welcome.
-[ Laughs ]

Oh, man.

-Hey, dad.

-Randall! Ha!

My illustrious quartermaster!

-How are you?

-Good to see you, son.

How's the, uh,
blaggards treating you
in the oil business?

-Ah, blaggards are good.
Blaggards are good, dad.

I want you to meet
a buddy of mine from the rig.

This is Syd, um...

-Syd.

-Ah, call me cap.
-Ahoy!

-You guys must be real mates.

-We did just ... we did just
meet up, but he's all right.

-How's my big man-boy?
-Hi, mom.

-Ooh. [ Chuckles ]

-My mom.
-Yeah.

-Let me show you
to your room, Syd.
-So sweet of you.

-Cap, you'd better get ready
for the fundraiser.

-Oh, yeah.
-[ Chuckles ]

-What ... uh, what cause
is it for this time?

-Well, it's, uh ...
we're trying to raise some money

for a-a lakeside park
and a Marina.

Uh, it's gonna be great.
It's gonna be magnificent.

It's just what tortuga needs.
[ Clicks tongue ]

-That's great.
That's great, dad.

Hey, what's, uh ...

what's going on with
the scarecrow out front?

-Scarecrow?

-Yeah, the ... the scarecrow
out in the front ... front yard.

Hey, slow down.

[ Birds chirping ]

-Damn bloodsuckers.

Bloodsuckers!

-What are you gonna do?
-I'm gonna call the sheriff.

I want a detail
put on our property.

-Come on, dad, don't you think
that's a little over-the-top?

-These are dangerous people
we're dealing with here.

[ Guitar playing ]

-[ Whispering ]

Hey!

Hey!

Aah!

Ohh!

[ Groaning ]

And the guy ... the ... the fellow
you're pinning right there ...

that's, um...

-Monster.
-Monster.

-Yeah, he wrestled
for juvie-hall high.

He was the best they had.
-Nobody better than you.

-No, ma'am.
-Mm-hmm.

Now, those were the glory days.
-Aww.

-All out of ginger ale.

Truck hasn't been
around here in weeks.

-We don't need you pushing
them candy-ass drinks on US.

Ever since al retired,

that truck's been
bringing in all sorts of
newfangled nonsense.

-Milt!

Give it a rest, milt!

-Hey, milt, is ginger ale new?

Is that a new ...
is that a new ...
-[ Laughs ]

-Now, the sazerac!

Now, that's a good,
classicdrink.

-So, what happened
to you tonight?

-I, um ...

I had a scarecrow incident.

-A what?

-I butted heads
with one of them.

-With, uh, a scarecrow?

-[ Chuckling ] Yeah.

-There she is.

-[ Imitates snoring ]

[ Moans ]

Can you hear it, Phyllis?

Young love.
Always in buckets, man.

-Oh, baby, this is my buddy
I was telling you about.

Meet my girl, Sarah Lou.

-[ Laughs ]

-What?

-Pleasure to meet you.
Hi. Syd.

This is your girlfriend?

-Fiancée.
-Oh!

-He's probably wondering how
somebody like you

got so lucky to get
a girl like me.

-Hmm. Yeah.
-[ Chuckles ]

-You see why
I'm crazy for her?

-Yeah, crazy about does it.

-So, you don't mind

if I keep him
to myself tonight, do you?

We have some
catching up to do.

-Oh, do we? Mm!

Mm! Mm!

-Thank you, Phyllis.

-Hey.

I'll see you later...

Or not.

Probably not.

-[ Muttering ]

[ Sighs ]

-Sydney!

-Whew!

-Don't you be a stranger.

-Caught me, sir.

[ Both chuckle ]

The captain has caught me.

How was, uh ...
how was your, uh, grand party?

-Oh, the party was the party.

I mean, those things
are always kind of fun.

-[ Sighs ]

-Next week, we'll take you
down to the boat.

I'm entertaining some, uh,
out-of-town investors.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.
Is, uh, Randy back yet?

-No, he's out with his, uh ...
his ... his lady.

What do you think of her?

-Nice girl.

-I mean, I just met her.
I don't ...

how long has Randy
known her for?

-His whole life.

She's a bit of a spitfire.

I mean, she grew up on her ...
her grandfather's ranch.

-What about the scarecrows?
Anything?

-No, I put
the sheriff on it.

But when we do find that guy,

he's gonna go down
like a burning ship.

[ Chuckles ]

-[ Knocks on desk ]

That's kind of cutthroat
of you there, captain.

-My great-grandfather
was a notorious pirate,

Finley Davenport.

They used to call him
"shark's fin"

because of the way he
used to sneak up on his victims.

-He'd stalk his victims.
-Yeah.

Yeah, he used this very sword
to fight off half an army.

And then when they caught him,

he kind of slipped
right through their fingers,

and we never heard
from him again.

[ Chuckles ]

-Bravo!

Good bloodline there, sir.

-Finley's grandfather was the
right-hand man to Jean lafitte.

-Lafitte! Uh, lafitte!
-Yes.

Uh, uh, uh, battle
of New Orleans, uh...

[ Imitates explosion ]
Yes.

-Yes.
[ Imitates explosion ]

-[ Chuckling ] Yeah!

-I'm overwhelmed
by your vast intelligence.

-Ah, thank you.
[ Chuckles ]

-But the most important thing
was that it was rumored

that his
grandfather's father, Avery,

ran off with the lost treasure
of Jean lafitte.

-[ Sighs ]

Wow!

[ Laughing ]

[ Inhales sharply ]

Treasure.

-"Now and then, we had a hope

"that if we lived
and were good,

god would permit US
to be pirates."

I always tried to get Randall
to read this, but he never did.

I think you
would really enjoy it, Syd.

-Yeah?

Well...
[ Sniffs ]

All right. [ Chuckles ]
-Just to let you know,

it's not as if I didn't
come away with somebooty.

Would you like to see it?
-[ Laughs ]

Where be your treasure,
captain cap?!

You've got, like,
a secret panel or ...

-almost. A secret door.

-Almost as good.

-I don't show this to everyone.

-[ Laughs ]

-One...two...

Three...

-Oh, my god.

-Mm, okay.

-[ Exhales sharply ]

-[ Sighs ]

Granddad, you
and your band of merry men

are gonna get found out
one of these days.

I almost got caught last night
cleaning up after you.

-Nobody asked you to do it.

-Paul dropped
a feed-store receipt

last time you boys
pulled one of your pranks.

You guys would all be in jail
if it weren't for me.

-Yeah, well...

That cap fellow
should be the one in jail.

-Granddad, he's gonna be
my father-in-law.

-I don't need to be
reminded of that...Twice.

-We're all gonna be family,
okay, granddad?

Can't you just find a way
to make peace with him?

-Look, I'm not the one
that's stirring everything up.

[ Knock on door ]

Can I help you?

-Yeah, I'm here
to talk to Sarah.

-This is, uh ...
it's one of Randy's friends.

-Oh, don't want to
get behind that. I'm Syd.

Nice to meet you.

Great place you got here.

Uh, do you mind if I have a word
with your granddaughter?

-[ Sighs ]

-Yeah, she's all yours.

-Come on.

-But imind.
-Yeah, you don't have a choice.

-[ Coughs ]

-All right, what the hell
are you up to?

-I don't know
what you're talking about.

-That is just so cute,
but you are trying to sabotage

your fiancé's family business?

-I didn't do anything.
-Okay.

So no big problem
if he finds out, then.

-[ Scoffs ]
He would never believe you.

-Yeah, but his dad might.

-I know your type.

Just floating through life
with your head in the clouds.

-You know, why don't I
just give cap a call,

tell him what you're up to?

-What do you want?
You want ... you want money?

Is that it?
'Cause I can get you some.

-Really?
-Get you to Portland faster.

-How much?
-[ Sighs ]

I don't have much...On hand,
but I could get you a job here.

-[ Chuckles ] This is exactly
where I want to be.

Thank you very much, yes.

I would love to work here
as your ranch hand.

-And a place to stay.
-I have a place to stay.

And if you've seen it,
I'm kind of digging it there.

-It's a good offer.
You should think about it.

-You're real feisty,
you know that?

-[ Scoffs ]
-No, I like that.

[ Knock on door ]

-You mind if I come in?

-Matter if I do?

-Come on, jabez.

We're gonna be in-laws.

-Well, I like Randy good enough.

Takes after his mama.

-Maybe you and me,

we can get together on
a wedding present for the kids.

-What do you got in mind?

-I thought I could
take it off your hands,

and I could let
the kids live here forever.

-[ Chuckling ] I swear to god.

You're like
a busted down, old record.

-You're months behind
on your payments.

Now, the bank's been
letting it go till now,

but I happen to know that you're
one month away from default.

-I ain't about ready
to lose my ranch.

-How you gonna keep it?
-Oh, I got ways.

Now get off my property.

-Come on.
-Get off my property!

-You and me both know
that gun hasn't worked

in probably 25 years.
-Go!

-Good luck, skipper.
-Go.

-She offered me a job at her
grandpappy's ranch out there.

-Really?

-I mean, they need the work.
I need the cash.

It's ... well...

-[ Laughs ]

-What?

-Oh, sorry, I just ... I can't
see you working on a ranch.

-You can't see me working at
a ranch, getting my hands dirty?

I can't do that, too?

-Not to mention Sarah Lou.

Man, I would not
want to work for her.

-Huh.

Why are you marrying her?

-Okay, you met her.
-Yeah.

-She's beautiful, right?
-Yes.

-Yes, well, she is also the most
amazing girl I have ever known.

-How well do you really
know her, though?

I mean, how well can you really
know somebody?

I'm not a big relationship guy.

-I know her as well as two
people could know each other.

-How do you people do it, man?

It's like a fairy tale out here.

You love her.
Your dad loves her.

It's just perfect.

-Well, thank you, but you do not
have to worry about her.

Okay?

-Okay. I won't.

-She's one of the good ones.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

-[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

-I think once I break
that little filly,

she's gonna be
a good barrel racer.

[ Water runs ]

I wanted to tell you
I hired a hand to help US.

-You what?

-And he's just in town
for a little while,

and I thought
he could give you a break.

-Who said I needed a break?

-You got to watch
that blood pressure.

You know what the doctor said.

-No, we don't need extra help
here now, Lou Lou.

-We do.

More than you think.

[ Sighs ]

Remember how I told you
that I almost got caught

cleaning up your mess
with the scarecrows?

He saw me, granddad ...
Randy's friend.

And if he tells Randy,
or worse, cap...

[Sighs] I don't even
want to think about it.

-Well, why hasn't he said
anything before?

-I don't know.

But we need to stay on his good
side so he doesn't go blabbing.

-Well, let him blab.

You did nothing wrong,

and I'll ... I'll take
the fall for you.

It was just a little mischief.

-That's not how cap sees it.

He thinks someone's
gunning for him.

-That's not a bad idea.
[ Laughs ]

-Granddad, don't even
joke about that, okay?

Tell me that you're gonna stop.

-Okay.
I'll tell you that.

-Did you just give me
the double wink?!

-[ Laughs ]

-Granddad, this isn't funny,
okay?

I mean, you and your pals

might not go to prison
for what you're doing,

but after all the fines
and legal fees,

we're gonna be all cleaned out.

It's just for
a couple weeks, okay?

That's all.

City boy won't be able
to take much more than that.

-[ Chuckles ]

[ Door opens ]

-I want you to take that job
at the ranch.

He says he's gonna hold on to it
without my help.

So I want you to find out how.

-Okay, but, I mean, if the guy
doesn't want to sell the ranch,

the guy doesn't want
to sell the ranch.

-He can walk away
with a nice, little profit,

have some good comfort
for his golden years.

-Huh.

Cheers to that.
-Yeah.

-Yeah, good on you.
-Yeah.

[ Exhales sharply ]
You know, I'll tell you what.

I'll pay you triple, you find
out what I want to know.

And if you find out soon, you
get the whole month's salary.

-That's all I got to do?

-Yeah, and you can't tell
anybody, not even Randall.

-[ Laughs ]

Yeah, caspian Davenport!

My daddy says
never trust a pirate.

-I think you got some
pirate blood in you too, Syd.

[ Both laugh ]

-She's trying to protect US.

-We need to use force.

-The law is very fuzzy here,

but this is our land...

From our ancestors.

What would they do?

-Well, according to my sources,

cap's got his eyes set
on this undeveloped area

here to the west,
and this one here to the east.

He's partnered with an operation
called tiny big town.

Got board members
that reside in eight states.

And they're investing in small
shopping villages like this one.

-They're wolves in disguise,
I swear to ...

look, this is ...
all these stores

are gonna be chains,
corporate chains.

-It sure as hell doesn't look
too good for my taxidermy shop.

-I don't think
you have to worry too much

about any big-chain
taxidermy competition.

-I know exactly what to do.

-[ Singing indistinctly ]

Holy buckets.

Okay.

[ Sighs ]

-You're eight minutes late,
rock star.

Glad you found your room.
-Uh-huh.

Put your stuff down over there.
We have a ton of work to do.

-All righty.

-Take this.

-Uh-huh.
Good morning to you, too.

-Morning.

Take this.

You have to keep
the stables clean,

so rake this up,
put it in the wheelbarrow,

and there's a compost heap
out back.

-Okay. Okay, boss.

-Have fun.
-Yeah.

All right.

[ Grunts ]

[ Spits ]

-All done?

-Tractor's washed,
horses' hay is fresh.

I-I couldn't figure out
the strap-cutter thing.

-You'll learn.

There's a fence out by the bluff
that needs repairing.

-Okay.
Well, have fun with that.

-You're helping me.
[ Clicks tongue ]

Come on.
[ Clicks tongue ]

You coming?

In the way.

-Well, how do you
grip this thing?

All right, hold on,
hold on, hold on.

-Will you hold it
a little steadier, please?
-Yes, yes.

-It's hard to hammer
a moving target.
-Okay.

[ Groans ]

Aah!
-It is not that hard.

Are you kidding?
-It's hurting my hands.

The next one ...
just put it right here.

-[ Chuckles ]
-Just ... I'll line up perfectly.

Here, just hammer it through
to the other side.

-[ Sighs ]
All right. It's done.

-Okay.
So, we eat now?

Are we eating?

-Not till we check
the rest of them.

-All of them?!

-[ Chuckles ]
-Your place is too big!

-Oh, my gosh.
You're such a baby.

-Whoo!
[ Laughing ]

Oh!
Whoo!

[ Laughs ]

[ Door creaks ]

-[ Panting ] Sorry.

Sarah Lou said
that I could wash up in here.

-She told me how you two met up.

-Oh, yeah, that.
No, I ...

we're ... we're fine.

-She ain't done nothing wrong.

Just helping clean up
other people's messes.

-Huh.
-Whose mess?

-Oh, it's nothing
you need to know.

Just leave her out of it.

-Oh, sure. Yeah.

I can do that.

Seems like she's already
kind of in it, though, you know?

-You leave her be.

And what's it matter to you,
anyway, huh?

You're just walking
through here, right?

-Yeah.
You're right.

The sooner I'm done
with her bossing me around,

the happier I'll be.

So, thank you for the ...
everything.

[ Insects chirping ]

[ Guitar playing in distance ]

-What in tarnation is that?

-It's Syd.
[ Both chuckle ]

-Sounds like a dying owl.

-[ Chuckles ]

Yeah. Yeah, it does.

-What's he doing?

-He's trying to play music.

-Music?

[ Both chuckle ]

I never heard any music
like that before.

-[ Sighs ]

Oh, I can't write
worth nothing right now.

All right, this the song
of the night.

You ready, kitty cat?

♪ Oh, Sarah Lou

♪ what have you done to me?

♪ Oh, Sarah Lou

♪ damn you

[ chuckles ]

[ Groans ]

[ Door creaks ]

Hello?

Sarah?

Uncle jabez?

[ Sniffs ]

[ Vehicle approaches ]

[ Door creaks ]

[ Engine turns over ]

-I'll take two grand for it.

-It's worth five times that.

-Where'd you get this?

-Oh, it's been in the family
for generations.

My great-great granddad
bought falcon ranch

with what he got
out of the gold rush.

What was left over,
he had the watch made.

Tradition has it that whoever's
holding that watch

is the keeper
of the family legacy.

I planned to give this
to Sarah Lou someday.

-Well, if you need
the money that bad,

how you gonna pay me
to get it back?

-I got six mares with foal.

-I got the yearling
that, uh, Sarah Lou's raising.

-Come springtime,
I'm gonna sell them all off.

I'll have enough to pay you
back, and then ... then some.

-Well, it is
a nice piece, jabez.

But I can't give you
two grand for it.

I don't have it.

I'll tell you what, though.

I'll make a few calls

and see if I can...Find someone
else you can pawn it to.

-Well, I appreciate it.

Well, just don't wait
too long, okay?

-All right.

-If I don't have the money
at the end of the month,

I'm done for.

-See you around.

Hey. Don't I know you?

-No. No. I don't think so.

-Boy, oh, boy.

Jeepers, you're selling
some stuff today, ain't you?

Look at you.
Oh, my god.

-You have something for me?
-Yes.

Uh, Mr. Jabez has
a very old pocket watch.

It's been in his family
for many generations.

Uh, it's worth thousands.

He's trying to pawn it,
but he hasn't had much luck.

-Could we get our hands on it?

-You know, I ... I signed on
to get you the information.

I'm not ...
I'm not stealing from this guy.

-He'll get it back.

I-It'll just go lost
for a little while.

What I'm doing here, Syd,

will benefit nearly everybody
in black paw.

-You know, cap,
there just seems to be

a very big difference between
this and ... and Jean laffitte,

and the whole Robin hood thing.

-[ Chuckles ]

Why don't you just take this
as a little bonus,

and I will match it
when you bring me the watch.

[ Both chuckle ]

-Cap, why do you need
this ranch?

I mean, you already own
half the town.

-The shark told me
that you should finish the job,

go to Portland,

make music, and be happy.

-You all right?

-I do not want to talk about it.

-Ah.
I think I know what this is.

Syd here has been working
for Sarah Lou.

-Ha! Really?
-Yeah.

-Getting a taste
of the ranch life.

-You wanted to get
your hands dirty.

-I did.
-Mm-hmm.

-What can I get for you,
sweetie?

-Uh, I'm gonna have whatever
that guy's not having.

-Hey, milt!

Wake up!

Milt, you're freaking
the customers out.

Milt!
-So how's the ...

-I'll have another s-sazerac.

-He'll have another sazerac.

-How's that amplifier
working for you?

-Um, I haven't had
any more blowouts.

That's nice.

How's your suspension
treating you?

-It's actually
kind of inspiring.

Or it was.

-What are you doing here, Elmer?

-I heard you back came here
with Randy.

You know,
I got fired 'cause of you.

-Yeah.

Yeah, man, I know you busted
my car up, okay, man?

But I didn't ... I didn't rat you
out or anything, okay?

-Yeah? Who did?

-Uh, I, uh ... I-I kind of
explained things to the boss.

-Just take a step back.

Hey.

Hey, listen.

I took you down then.
I will take you down now.

-Hold him. Get him! Get him!

I got him! I got him!

I got him!

Come get him!

-What the hell ... what the heck
was that, frank?

-Chloroform, of course.

-Those tricks were amazing.

I mean, the way ...
-tricks?

-The way you were moving.

I thought it was ...
it was inspiring.

[ Chickens clucking ]

-You think so?

No. [ Scoffs ]

You think I'm gonna
fall for that?

-No, I really mean it.

I didn't ... I did not know
that you could do that.

-Nobody does.

It's a little different
around here.

-I don't ... I don't think
it's different.

I think people would ...
I think people would like it.

I think people would love it.

-It's not some act.

-Okay.

I mean, that's ...

so you can really make stuff
move around.

-For as long as I can remember.

-Wow. But that's ... that's ...
that's a great gig.

-It's a little strange.

-Yeah, so what?
Strange is special.

That's ... that's ...

-you're strange.

-[ Chuckles ] Okay.

Then we're both
a couple of weird weirdos.

-Yeah, except everybody already
knows you're a weirdo.

-[ Chuckles ]
Do you think I give a damn?

I mean ...

-no, I guess you don't.

-No, and neither should you.

I'm telling you,
people would love it.

Frank and I, we could hook you
up with some music.

You could get ...
-no. I'm not putting on
a show, okay?

Not now, not ever.

-[ Chuckles ]
You were all over me

about not going to Portland
to do my music.

-[ Exhales sharply ]

My mother used to do this.

And I didn't know her.

So this is the only connection
I have to her.

But I wouldn't expect you
to understand that.

-I understand that.

-I have everything that I want,
okay?

So I don't you telling me
anything else.

-I tried, but I'm telling you.

-Yeah, you worry about that.

I'll, uh, take care of my end.

No, I think it's great.

No, it's the kind of stimulation
that a town needs.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, there's a demand for it.

May not be right now, but soon.

All right.

Yeah. Just ... just relax.

Yeah. It's covered.

I got to go.
I got another call. Bye.

Yeah.

-Deputy Bobby here.

We got a problem with your sign.

You might want to come
take a look.

-I'll be right there.
-All right.

-They think
this is gonna stop me.

You better find them.

-It's not that easy, cap.

-Do it.

Do it, Mike,

or black paw's gonna find itself
a new sheriff.

[ Chuckles ]

-Yeah, this is all I can
give you for now

until I get some things
straightened out.

-No, no.
I know you're good for it.

That's ... thank you.

-Appreciate that.

You're all right, Syd.

-[ Chuckles ]

Well, wish your granddaughter
felt the same way. She...

-She seems to like that stuff
you call music.

-What, she said that?

-[ Chuckles ]
She didn't have to.

No, I was watching her the other
night listening to it.

Now, me ... it sounded like a
bunch of cats screaming in heat.

[ Chuckles ]

-Yeah, I can see that.

That's why the tomcats have been
crawling all over me at night.

-Yeah.

Well, it's an ... an acquired
taste, to be sure.

But she seems to understand it.

-There is so much about that
girl that I do not understand.

At all. [ Chuckles ]

-What do you mean?

-Well, she's...
[ Sighs ] I don't know.

Never mind. Forget it.

Forget I said anything.

-Listen.

If my granddaughter is mixed up
in anything,

I want to know about it.

-Okay. No, of course.
I would ... I mean, I'd tell you.

I mean, I ... it was ...
it's really nothing.

I saw her
in the barn last night.

She was performing something.

Or it ... it looked
like a performance.

I can't ...

whatever I saw,
she didn't want me to see it.

Probably just something
in the water.

I didn't see anything.

You okay?

-[ Taps table ]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm fine.

Um...i want you to come with me.

There's something
I want to show you.

[ Sighs ]

Sarah Lou's mama.

She was quite a woman.

She could do some things

that most people
could never understand.

[ Chuckles ]

She had a gift.

But [sighs]

She just got involved
with the wrong people.

-"Also called 'old ironsides,'
this two-deck, three ..."

I can't see with my eyes.

-Cap, can I talk to you
about something?

-Yeah, my eyes are just ...

-i got to talk to you
about something.

-What's the holdup on my watch?

-You got to leave
these people alone.

I mean, honestly.

Sarah and jabez ... these people
don't have anything.

They got nothing.

-You don't know the whole story,
do you?

-Uh, no, b-but ...

-have a seat.

Sarah's mom was a gypsy psychic.

She ran off with some carny
to the circus,

and there was a freak accident,
and they were all blown up.

I was there that night,

and I pulled Sarah Lou
out of the fire.

She was just a baby.

I took her back to jabez.

-Did you know
Sarah Lou's mother?

-Angelica? Yeah.

She was the town beauty.

She was quite the free spirit.

But could she dance.

-Mm.

She ... she was a dancer.

-Yeah.

Jabez didn't much appreciate it.

But she was a natural.

That music would just move
around her body.

[ Chuckles ]

I had never seen
anything like it.

She'd vibrate, and...

-Hmm.

-No, that was just
back in high school.

The woman was out of her mind.

She was out of her mind
for a long time.

She kept claiming that she had
telekinetic powers.

She used to do this ...
this act in the carnival.

-Like a magical act.

Did you see the act?

-It was just
one cheap clown trick.

-Well, that's ...

that's very, uh ...
that's very poetic, cap.

But you and I just kind of
disagree there, okay?

-[ Sniffs ]

[ Guitar plays ]

[ Knock on door ]

-Hey, bud.
-Hey, man.

-Whoa.

Fancy, fancy.

-You like?
-No, not really.

[ Both chuckle ]

-Hey, did ... did you have
any luck with the car?

-So, I got some parts on order,

so it should be fixed up
pretty soon.

-This is ...

do you ever hear anything
about Sarah Lou's mom?

-Not really. Why?

-No?

-Little things here and there.

-Well, your dad was telling me
something about her

running away
with the circus or ...

-[ chuckles ]

Yeah, it's ...
it's embarrassing.

She was ...
she was a little nuts.

-Well, I don't think Sarah Lou
would think that.

-And don't even think about
bringing it up with her.

-Hey, no, that's all you guys,

but might want to talk about
that before you get married.

[ Clicks tongue ]

-You ... you after her now, or ...

-no, man. I don't do that.
I don't do that.

I'm just telling you
to appreciate her, okay?

Because there's more
to that girl than you know.

-Hmm.

-Yeah, there's just a lot
going on that's...

[ Door opens ]

...different.

-Hey, baby.

-Having a nice talk?

[ Insects chirping ]

[ Guitar playing in distance ]

Shh.

You're gonna wake granddad
with that noise.

-Here, tell me.
Do you like this?

[ Plays chord ]
-No.

-You don't like that one?
How about this one?

[ Plays chord ]

-[ Sighs ]

-Come on. Tell you what.

Let me show you
a thing or two...

-Okay.

-...about how a real man
rock and rolls.

You ready for this?
-Mm-hmm.

[ Electricity crackles ]

-Oh, man.
-What did you do?

-Frank was supposed to have
fixed that.

I-I got the lantern.
It's ... it's over here.

I did put the lantern ...

[ cat yowling ]
-Watch out for the kitty!

Oh, gosh!

-Oh, my god, why do you have
these things in here?

They're everywhere.
Aah.

Aah, he got me
right in the face.

-I'm sorry.

-Aah.

Did you bust me open?

-No, I'm sorry.

-No? It's not bleeding
or anything like that?

My eye is not completely ...

[ door opens ]

-Grandpa must have fixed
the fuse.

-That's good for him.
I'm glad he fix...

-yeah.
-I'm glad ... I'm glad that
he's on that kind of thing.

-Mm-hmm.
-He's old, you know.

-Yeah, the power, so...

Goodnight.
-Night.

If ...

I got to get
the hell out of here.

Hey.

I'm out of here.

-Well, good morning to you, too.

-Yeah, great.

I'm done working for you,

so I'm getting my car
and leaving town.

-What's going on?

Is that girl working you
too hard?

-No, no.

She's not working me too hard.

No, I don't want to be
around you anymore,

I don't want to be working
for you, so I'm leaving, okay?

Do you understand that?

Do people say "no" to you often?

-We have a deal.

-Not anymore, we don't.

Got it?

-I told you
this wasn't gonna be easy.

-That's nice.
That's very nice of you.

Yes, I know.
You're doing it for them.

-I'm not doing it for them.

I'm doing it
for this whole town.

-Oh, god, liars make me sick.

That's a pile of crap,
you know that?

So are you.

[ Engine turns over ]

-This fellow right here said

he'd spot you
what you need on that watch.

What's the matter?
It's what you wanted, wasn't it?

-Yeah, I'm thinking,

and I just might not pawn it
right now, moe.

-Well, choice is yours.

The offer's there.

-You know what?

I'm gonna just sleep on it
for a while, all right?

But I-I appreciate it.

-You're welcome.

[ Engine shuts off ]

[ Thunder rumbles ]

-You're leaving?

-Yeah.

I was gonna say goodbye
to you first, though. All right.

Should be in Portland
by tomorrow

if I drive straight through.

[ Sighs ]

Yeah.

Anyway, what are you gonna ...
what are you gonna do?

-I should be pretty busy
with the wedding to plan.

-Right.
[ Chuckles ]

What if you just ...
you ... you just did it?

You just ... you just took off,
you took your act on the road?

That's ... that's you.
This is you.

It's a big part of you,

and, man, it makes you so happy.

-I just can't.

There's no way
that I'm gonna leave granddad.

Even when Randy and I
get married,

we're planning on staying
in black paw so I can help him.

-That's it?

-What?

-Nothing. Forget it.

Please say goodbye
to jabez for me.

-Yeah.

[ Insects chirping ]

[ Pulsating tone ]

-[ Sighs ]

[ Echoing ]
You motherless bloodsuckers!

[ Knock on door ]
-Randy?

-You okay?

Mm.

What's that for?

-For being the greatest,
most wonderful man

I've ever known.

-Oh.

-Let's set a day
for the wedding.

-Okay. Sure.

When are you thinking?

-Tomorrow.

-[ Chuckles ]
I don't know about tomorrow.

I think my mom
would probably kill me

if I went and married you
without her.

-Well, as soon as she gets back,
then, all right?

-Yeah, you're on.

Hey, I don't know what's gotten
into you, but I'm liking it.

-I just can't wait to marry you

and spend the rest of my life
with you.

Let's go out
and celebrate tonight.

-Okay.

[ Chuckling ]
Where do you want to go?

-How about that new place
over in wilcox?

-Mm.
-Let's go dancing.

-You know I don't dance.

-It could be fun

to try something new,
something different.

-Mm, I don't need any of that.

I'm happy with what I have
right here.

-[ Sighs ]

-All right.

I'll tell you what.

How about I saddle up,

and we'll pack up some food
that my mom left,

and we can go for a night ride?

-Okay.

If you'd rather.

-It'll be fun.

I'll pack some wine and
a blanket and a little of this.

[ Smooches ]
Hmm?

-Okay.

-Okay, great.

him senseless, now, did you?

-He saw my face.

-You know, it's a simple job,

just take an old pocket watch
from a codger.

And you just screw up
the whole thing.

starts talking?

-Well, that's your problem.

-That's your problem, too.

[ Chuckles ]

-Randy, hi.

-Hey.

-Hey.

-How is he?
-He's better.

They said he can even
go home today.

-Well, that's great news.
That's great.

I'm gonna come stay at the ranch
with you guys.

-You don't have to.

-I know I don't have to,
but I want to.

Whoever did this to him
is still out there.

-[ Sighs ]

Um, better go check on granddad.

-[ Sighs ]

What kind of lowlife

would do something like this
to an old man?

I'm telling you, man.

I would love to get my hands
on this guy.

-What's going on?

-Where is it?

-Where's what?

-The watch, the one you stole
from jabez!

-I don't know anything
about a watch.

I don't even remember

having a conversation with you
about some watch.

-You vile,
little snake in the grass.

I can't look at you!

Where's the watch, cap?!

-You know,
maybe I should, uh, call

my friend,
the sheriff, about you ...

tip him off.

-You're an evil man,
you know that?

You got nothing on me, cap.

-You sure about that?

[ Rooster crows ]

-Got it.

-Hold it, Syd.

You are under arrest
for the theft

and the assault on jabez.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will ...

-it's a lie, you dumb hick.

Come on,
I'm about to leave town!

I'm trying to leave town,
already.

Aah! Aah!

-I know it's asking a lot.

I just really need
to talk to Syd, okay?

-Okay.

But if I hear
the sheriff coming,

you've got to get out of here,
fast.

-Okay.

-Magdalena. Magdalena.

Could you please get me a belt?

I'm not gonna hang myself.

They think I'm crazy here.

-I couldn't believe it when they
said they think you did it.

-Yes, no, I didn't do it.
I mean, I was set up.

C-Clearly, I-I-I was set up.

-By who?

-It was cap.

-Cap?

-Yes, cap. He ... he ...

-you're saying cap broke into
my house and attacked granddad?

-What I'm saying
is that he hired somebody

to go in and do that.
-But why?

-Because he wants your ranch,
okay?

He's trying to screw jabez
out of the ranch.

-Wait a second.
H-How do you know all this?

-'Cause he hired me, okay?

He hired me to do
all this dirty work for him.

-He paid you?

Yes, but I didn't ...
I-I gave the money back.

I gave the money back
as soon as I ...

-but... [ sighs ]
-Listen.

-This ... this money ...
if there ever was any ...

you took it in the first place.

-I-I-I ... this isn't
coming out right.

This is ...
-yeah, damn straight it isn't.

-No, I mean, I needed the money,

but I didn't know
that it meant stealing.

I didn't ...
-just spying on US?

-No, Sarah, come on.

No. [ Sighs ]
Sarah, I'm not a bad guy.

I'm not a bad guy.
-[ Voice breaking ]
Just stop it, okay?

I don't want to hear any more.

-No, no, no.
Sarah, you got to believe me.

I swear to god I didn't ...
I ... I messed up so bad.

I swear that I know
that i-i-i-i screwed up so bad.

I'm really sorry
that I screwed up.

But I changed my mind, okay?
I changed my mind.

Then I told cap that I was out.

I was getting out of town.

-Yeah, and then you came back
to steal from my granddad.

You could have had him killed.

-I didn't do anything
to your granddad,

and I didn't steal the watch.

-Well, they found it
in your room.

-Yes, because cap put it there

'cause he's a crazy,
like, pirate man.

He's a crazy person, Sarah.

It wasn't me.
You got to believe me.

I swear. Come on.

-Why?

I don't even know you.

-How'd it go?

-It's true. He did it.

-He told you that?

-No. That would have been
decent.

Instead, he went and blamed it
on your dad.

-Are you serious?

-[ Crying ]

God, how could we have been
so stupid?

-Don't worry. Come here.

[ Sighs ]

-Come on in, son.

Any word on jabez?

-[ Sighs ]

Syd's saying it wasn't him.

He saying it was you.

-[ Chuckles ]

You don't believe
that line of crock.

-No, he's saying somebody
planted the watch under his bed.

-Well, he'll say anything
to take the blame off himself.

-But why you, dad?

-Syd and I had words.

-About what?

-Well, I found him paying

an awful lot of attention
to your fiancée.

I'm sure you felt that yourself.

-I trust Sarah Lou.

-She's not the issue.

We opened up our home to Syd.

Sarah Lou and jabez
gave him a job.

And what did he do?

Took advantage of all of US.

-Yeah.

-Here you go.

-[ Groans ]

I don't know why
I'm s-sitting here

like some damn invalid.

-[ Voice breaking ]
Doctor says, granddad, okay?

You almost got killed.
-Yeah.

Well, at least I'm above dirt.
[ Grunts ]

-Hey, slim.

-Let me give you a hand
with that, little lady.

-Thank you.

-Thought I'd stop by
and look in on jabez.

How's he doing?

-Um, he's resting right now.

Or he's supposed to be.

-That sounds about right.
-Yeah.

-So, what are you gonna do
about the ranch?

-I don't know.

I didn't want to believe it,

but I called the bank,
and they said it's true.

Falcon ranch is as good as gone.

-You're not gonna sell to cap,
are you?

-Cap?

-Yeah.

He's been circling around,

hounding your granddad
with offers.

Like that greedy buzzard hadn't
picked enough bones clean

here in black paw.

I tell you, he's not gonna stop
till he's bled this town dry.

[ Sighs ] Look, i-I'm sorry.

I know he's gonna be
your new daddy-in-law.

But that don't make him any less
the bottom-feeder

than he already is.

Before they arrested
that hired hand of yours,

I'd have put good money on cappy
being behind all this.

-[ Scoffs ]

-Well, look.

You tell your granddaddy
"get well," all right?

-I will.

-We need him back in the fight.

[ Telephone ringing ]

-You son of a bitch.

-Grandpa, what are you doing?

What's going on?
Are you all right?

Granddad?

-It wasn't him.

It w-wasn't Syd.

-[ Sighs ]

-An attack against jabez
is an attack against all of US.

It's time that we fight back,

preserve and protect
what is our birthright.

And Sarah Lou is here
to tell US how we do that.

-[ Sighs ]

We need to find out
what's going on.

Syd didn't attack granddad.
He saved granddad.

But he's sitting in jail

while the real criminal
is getting away with it.

And Syd says it's cap.

-I told y'all!

We should have stepped up
our game.

Now jabez is the worst off
for it.

I'll fire-bomb his damn house
for you, Lou Lou,

if that's what you want.

-No, don't go burning
anything down, okay?

[ Chuckles ]
Granddad wouldn't want that.

He's got another way ...
a better way.

But we're gonna need
all of your help.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

I want to thank you all

for turning out like this
to support my granddad.

It would surely warm his heart
to see you all here,

which is why I'm doing this.

We're gonna film it,
so thank you, Paul.

It's sort of a movie version
of a get-well card for granddad,

to show him what all the good
people of black paw can do

when we stick together

and do what's right by him
and by our town.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Eerie music plays ]

[ Crowd murmuring ]

-Must be magnets involved.

I never knew she could do that.

-Me neither.

-[ Whistles ] Incredible.

-That's incredible.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-[ Chuckles ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Yeah!

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Electricity crackles ]

[ Rumbling ]

[ Crowd murmurs ]

[ Power drains ]
-Syd's amp.

It puts out a surge that's too
powerful for ground protection.

My own personal design.

[ Footsteps ]

-Who's that?

-Shut your trap, son.

We're here to break you
out of here.

-What?

-Shh!

-Shh!

-Could you be any noisier?

Where are the keys?

-Well, just where
they're supposed to be.

-Yeah, and they're not
the right ones.

Can't you do
anything right, milt?

-Looking for this?

[ Sighs ] Hurry up.

The sheriff will be back soon.

He's out with
the electric company.

-Ha!

-What's going on?

-Sarah Lou's working her magic.

Now, come on,
before that clown sheriff

figures out how to find his way
in the dark.

-[ Humming ]

-Syd!

Thank god you're all right.

So sorry you have to be
stuck in here.

-Are you kidding me?

This is way better
than a jail cell and a cot.

[ Chuckling ] Sarah, I can't
believe you did that for me.

-And for granddad and everybody
else in this town.

You were right about cap.

He wants our ranch.
He wants the whole town.

We have to stop him.

-Sarah,
how are you gonna do that?

-I just have to figure out
what he's up to.

It has to be more than
what everybody thinks

to be doing what he's done.

I'm so sorry that I didn't
believe you at first.

-I'm a liar.

I lie a lot.

That's why people
won't usually believe me.

[ Chuckles ]

-I'm gonna make this up
to you, okay?

I promise.

-You already have.

You should get going.

-[ Sighs ]
I'll be back.

[ Device beeping ]

[ Beeping continues ]

-Shut it!
Shut that light off.

Now, you sure this whole area's
in it, too?

-I've scanned it several times.

I think you're golden.

You're gonna want to bring in
a different team

to do some more analysis,

but there is oil
under this ranch.

There's oil
under the next ranch

and pretty much the whole town.

I'm almost positive of it.

-Well, you just, uh, get going.

And you do it quietly.

We don't want nobody
to know you're here.

And you call back your friends
over at gralyn.

You set them scallywags up
with their meeting with me.

Turn that light off!

-Oh. Sorry.

[ Knock on door ]

-Come on. Open it, huh?

-Oil! Oil!
-What are you talking about?

Of course, oil! That, uh ... cap.
He was here.

-What are you doing here?
-Sorry. Sorry.

Cap was on the ranch.
I saw him over by the bluff.

-Did he see you?

-No. No, he was with frank,
and I heard them ...

I heard ...
I overheard them talking.

And, uh,
there's oil under here, and ...

-on ourranch?

-Yes, yes. And this is why cap
is after the ranch.

This is why cap is acting
so crazy.

He's ... he's oil-hungry.
He's ...

-okay, okay, so if what
you're saying's true,

and there's oil,
and cap wants it ...

-yes.
-No, he wouldn't almost
have granddad killed

to steal from my granddad, no.

-Cap is crazy!
He's a crazy man,

and he's doing what he can
to get the oil!

He's trying to choke it out
of people!

-Okay, all right!
I have to go.

-Wait, where are you going?
No, no, no.

-I have to go talk to Randy.
-You can't go talk to ...

what are you ...
are you hearing what I'm saying?

It's cap! He's crazy!
So Randy ... you can't
talk to cap or Randy. No.

-I need to talk to
my fiancée, all right?
Stay here with granddad.

-But ... [ Sighs ]
Be careful!

-[ Grunts ]

-Syd busted out of jail.

What the hell am I
supposed to do now?

-Nothing.
You do nothing.

Now, they found that watch
in his room.

Thank god
you didn't screw thatup.

It made him look
even more guilty

that he broke out of jail.

-What about the old man?

-Well, he doesn't remember
much yet.

But you better hope he doesn't
remember anything.

-The way I see it,
you best be the one hoping.

-You know...

I could kill you right now.

And nobody would even care,

and nobody would even know...

Especially if jabez wakes up

and he remembers
that you were the one

who put him in the hospital.

Not me.

You know, I-I like these
tall trees in my driveway.

You know what pirates
call hanging?

A short step to a long drop.

You get it?

Yeah, I get you.

-Get off my property.

Sarah Lou.

-Hey, cap.

I just came by
to see Randy, s-so ...

-why are you so nervous?

-I'm not nervous.

-Oh, yes, you are.

You've never been nervous
around me before.

What's going on?

-N-Nothing.

-Why don't we go inside
and talk, huh?

Come on.

-Let me go.

-It's all right.

-Stop it!
-All right. It's all right.

Go on upstairs.

[ Door slams ]

-Let go of me!

-This is not
what it appears to be.

-It appears to me you tried
to Rob from my family,

and you almost
got my granddad killed.

You're not gonna
get away with it.

-Don't make me shoot,
Sarah Lou.

-What the hell is the matter
with you?!

-I never wanted anybody
to get hurt.

-I know all about you finding
out there's oil under the ranch.

That's what's behind all this.

You tried
to screw everybody over by
buying their land up cheap

so that you could make
a killing.

Well, you're gonna have
to kill me to keep me
from turning you in.

-[ Clicks tongue ]

-Randy, oh, my god!

-Dad.
Give me that gun.

Give me the gun, dad.

What the hell is going on?

-Syd was right.
Everything he said was true.

Your dad did it!
He did everything!

Your dad is a devil!

-Don't you believe
a word she says.

You ask her
where she was tonight.

Remember all that talk
I told you

about her hanging out
with that trailer trash?

Ask her where she
was tonight. Ask if she
broke him out of jail.

-Is that ... is that true?
Did you get him out?

-Yes, but he's innocent.

-Sarah Lou.
-Randy, he didn't do anything.

-Do you love him?

-Randy.
-Ugh.

-I just connected with him.

-You connected ... don't tell me
that you connected!

You barely know the guy!

-He just showed me something
I didn't know ...

-what ... what ...
the guy's a nobody!

He's a bum who will never
amount to anything!

-He's more than you'll ever be.

You shut up, all right?!
You shut the hell up!

How could you say that to me?!

Talk to me like that.

-Aah!

I got him bad.

Ay! Whoa!

-[ Chuckles ]

Long John silver lived amongst
some of the wickedest people

that god ever allowed
on the sea.

-Ow!

-Ah.
-What are you talking about?

-Robert Louis Stevenson.

If you ever read anything

instead of making that noise
that you call music,

you might be a worthy opponent.

But let's see anyway.

[ Laughs ]

Remember what I told you?

Bend, yes. Now die.

Keep your knees bent.
Hands behind your back.

Hyah. Hyah.
And then we lunge!

-Freeze, cap!

-You won't shoot.

-I will! I swear I will!

-No, you won't.

[ Panting ]

It's not loaded.

Jean laffitte lives on.

In Byron's immortal words,

"he left a corsair's life
to other times,

linked by one virtue
and a thousand crimes."

[ Chuckles ]

Adieu.

-No, stop.
Just ... just let him go.

He won't get very far.

-Well, that ought
to about take care of it.

Randy's owned up
to what he's done.

They found monster
over in wilcox.

He's squealing cap out
from here to Tuesday.

-[ Chuckles ]

-We'll track him down.

I'm sorry for all the trouble
we gave you.

Charges are dropped.

You're free to come and go
as you please.

-There's something
I want to give you, okay?

-Okay.

You were gonna sell this.

-I want you to have it.

-What about the bank?

-[ Groans ]

Fundraiser's gonna take care of
the ranch for quite some time.

-[ Chuckles ]

[ Click ]

-[ Exhales sharply ]

-[ Gasps, chuckles ]

Thank you, granddad!

I suppose you'll be taking off
for Portland now.

-Yeah. Yeah, I'm excited
to get on the road.

Got a long way to drive.

I do love taking off, though.

Love that. Freeing.

What about you?
What are you gonna do next?

-Well, it's not like granddad

would ever go for selling
to the oil company.

So I guess I'll just keep doing
what I've been doing.

-That's it?

-I don't have anywhere else
to go like you do.

My life's here, you know?

With granddad and with the land.

-There's a lot of it.

-Yeah. [ Laughs ]

-Tending to cows,
you and your cats.

Be a farm girl for the rest
of your life.

That sounds good.

-What? Why are you always
smiling like that?!

-No, nothing. Nothing.

What if you didn't have
to leave

to find what you're
looking for, Sarah?

-What do you mean?

-Come on.

-[ Laughs ]
What are you doing?

Why are you
bringing me in here?

-Just keep an open mind, huh?

Stand right there.

What do you see?

-[ Sighs ]

A barn.

-Okay. Okay.

Now, you were a big hit in town

with the show
that you put on, right?

Right? Right?

-Yes, I guess.

-Okay.
So, I was thinking ...

you see a barn.

I see a venue, okay?

A venue that people
from all over could come

to...do their act.

Right?

And when people hear
that there's oil here,

a lot of folks
will be coming through.

-We? [ Chuckles ]

You mean, you andme?

[ Both chuckle ]

-I mean, why not? We're pretty
good together, right?
