Outer Range (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - The West - full transcript

The Abbott family faces a grand reckoning over the course of a single day as the showdown between Royal and Autumn culminates, unearthing a shattering revelation.

People have told me
that grace is a given thing.

That if you seek it,
you'll find it.

When I was a kid,
I'd go to church,

and hear the pastor
preach the word.

And he'd make me feel
everything in my heart.

And everything
in the world around me

would have
a little more meaning.

The world was a bright place.

It worked on me.

God was everything good.

Then, when I was
eight years old,



I shot my father.

When I watched that stray
buckshot go into his chest

and blow all his insides
out his back,

the world went black.

Like it had ended altogether.

It hit me that God
is everything.

Everything good...
and everything bad.

I need guns.

We got them.

Come on in.

Hey.

Have you seen my dad?

He's supposed to
take me to school.

No.



Sorry about the fight.

You think you're gonna win?

No.

Why?

I feel like shit.

You kind of look like shit.

I think you're gonna win.

You think you're gonna
stay here your whole life?

Aren't you?

You know we named them all?

When I was maybe five years old,

me and Dad named all the owls.

Every time he'd kill one,

bring it home,

pull it out of his gym bag...

Oh, I'd be so excited.

I remember sitting
cross-legged on his lap

on the floor right here...

...saying all
their names together.

That one's Prudence.

And that's Integrity.

And that's Hope.

You know what we named that one?

What?

Luke.

He was my favorite...

...so we named him after you.

Does Dad know?

Know what?

About the hole.

Well, I think so.

Does he know what it's worth?

What do you mean?

I mean, whatever it is,

it came out of the goddamn earth
and it's worth something.

More than we even know probably.

I mean, there is a...

a mother lode of money

just-just waiting for us.

A whole new goddamn frontier
ready to be got.

And we could be first.

Hmm?

The hole's gone.

- What do you mean it's gone?
- It's gone.

Disappeared.

Maybe it's hiding
somewhere else, I don't know.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Come on. Come on.

Dad always told me he was
gonna leave me the ranch.

I know you're
super mad about that...

...but I don't want you
to try to kill him again.

So, if you don't,

then you can have it.

It'll all be yours.

Isn't that what
you always wanted?

How long before a skipped
bail goes to auction?

Oh...

I need you to draw
from the trust.

- No, I need the money.
- You do, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Just get me the money.

Hey, Royal.

I'm looking for
a hippie woman staying here

named Autumn Rivers.

Um, yes...

- Yeah, Room 210.
- 210?

Hey, we're all pulling
for Rhett tonight.

Thank you much.

Oh, last time was,
uh, last night.

Yeah.

Um... I don't
even remember what time,

but, Kathy, I'm telling you,
I'm worried

because I went through town,

nobody, nobody's seen
hide nor hair of him,

and I just...
I don't understand it.

I don't understand
where he went,

and, well, he's got
to be back here.

- Have you told Rhett yet?
- No, no, no, no, no.

Rhett-Rhett ri...
Rhett rides in three hours.

I'm-I'm not gonna tell Rhett.

No, no, Kathy,
you don't understand.

Rhett, it's-it's... No, no.

Kathy, do you understand
that if Perry's gone,

the ranch is gone!

Do you get that?!

Cecilia,
are you all right?

Cecilia?

Hey.

- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm okay. Are you okay?

Yeah. It's just gonna be a while

for the transfer
to come through, so...

Okay, I'll wait.

Excuse me, you can't
have that in here.

- What, the gun? Yeah, I can.
- Yeah.

- No, I need you to step outside. Please.
- Open carry state.

- I need you to step outside.
- Why can't I wait inside?

- I need you to step outside.
- I got a permit, so what's the problem?

- Don't fucking tread on me, bitch!
- What the fuck did you say?!

- It's my goddamn right.
- What the fuck did you say?

What, do you want
to hold it for me then?

I'm not gonna hold your fucking
gun. Are you fucking crazy?

- Fuck you. Fuck you, motherfucker.
- Go outside!

Let me know when
my fucking money comes through!

- Royal's trying to kill you.
- I know.

Not gonna let that happen.

♪ You wondered how
you'd make it through ♪

♪ I wondered what ♪

♪ Was wrong with you ♪

♪ 'Cause how could you

♪ Isn't this world ♪

♪ A crazy place? ♪ ♪

You there, Mama?

I'm here, baby.

We found what he was
looking for.

It's in the ground. Huh?

I think there's more of it.

Do you think it's valuable?

Oh...

I think it's probably
the most valuable thing

we've ever seen.

I think it's gonna
make me a fortune.

Well, get at it. You figure
out what else your dad

knew and get at it.

I tried to kill him.

God, I want to kill him.

Did you hear me?

No. I didn't hear you.

Go get it.

I'm-a go get it.

Why are we doing this?

So we can eat together as a
family when your dad gets back.

- From the rodeo?
- Mm-hmm.

But what if Rhett doesn't win?

Amy, my family ate
every damn meal

together every day
of the week, no matter what,

because that's what
families do, okay?

Okay.

We're
having quite a time

at the Amelia County
Rodeo Finals tonight,

where the champ Matt Olsen
now leads the bull riding

with a score of 84.

Next up is the first ride
for local boy Rhett Abbott,

and here we go.

He's out of the chute.

Oh, he's getting knocked around.

He's hanging on, all right,
he's hanging on.

And Rhett stays atop
Turnbuckle for a great ride.

My God. Oh my!

An excellent ride

on a damn mean bull
and an impressive start

for the son
of the former champ,

Royal Abbott.

All right,
Amelia County,

are you ready for
a little bull riding?

As we go downstairs
right now,

we're getting ready
to bring you

the very best bulls

against the very best cowboys.

It's time to ride!

We need the energy level high,
come on!

There you go.
He's in.

Come on, stay with him.
He needs some points tonight.

Hey.

Hey, what the fuck are
you doing? I'm about to ride.

- I need you to know something about me.
- Hey, hey, this is riders only.

Wait, I need you to know
something about me.

- Sir...
- I haven't, I haven't told you.

- I may not see you again. Okay?
- Step out of this area. Sir.

Hey, I need you to leave
the area now.

- What do you mean?
- Hey, come on, he's gonna ride.

There's something on the land,
and I need you to find it.

Look. Stop!
I need you to find it.

I need you to take care
of it for me. Okay?

Would you get a fucking grip?

I don't give a fuck
about the goddamn ranch.

All right, I'm done.

- What are you talking about?
- I'm leaving.

- Let's go. That's it. Let's go!
- Wait.

Wait. I need to say something
to my son!

Well...

You... you...

I just need...

Y-You...

I want to...

I know...

You get... you...

Come on,
let's get you to your seat.

Let's go. I got you.

Come on, buddy,
let's keep it moving.

All right, let's
go to our next matchup...

Grandpa!

Where you been?

You missed his first ride.

You gonna sit down?

Where's Dad?

I don't know.

He'll be back soon, okay?

Come on, Rhett!

Hello?

Uh, Grandpa, it's for you.

- Hello?
- Hi, Royal.

- I'll be right back.
- Okay. Bye.

Talk.

I know
you're looking for me.

Yup.

So I'm gonna let you find me.

Why's that?

'Cause I know how this ends.

Well, I'm gonna change
how this ends.

I know why you're afraid of me.

It's okay. I'd be afraid, too.

You can't beat fate, Royal.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna
give it a whirl. Where are you?

I'm in town.

Hey. You good?

Hey.

Hey! Let's go.

Yeah! Yeah!

Come on, Rhett!

You okay?

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

As we take a look
over at the scoreboard

right now, the score comes in.

Ooh...

69.0.

Amy!

Amy!

Amy!

Hey, have you seen Amy?

No?

Amy.

Mom...

Mom! Mom!

I'm so sorry.

Where have you been?

I had to go. I had to hide.

From who?

I'll explain it all,

but right now I need you
to come with me, okay?

- Mm-hmm.
- Come on.

Amy!

- Hey, you all right?
- Yeah.

- I'm good.
- Let me see.

Ah! Fuck!

Hey, man, you can't
ride like that.

- Your shoulder's destroyed.
- This is my last go.

- I'm gonna ride.
- All right, man.

Your funeral.

Amy?

Amy!

Amy.

Amy! Amy!

Mark! Mark.

- Amy's gone.
- What're you doing?

- Amy's gone, Mark. Mark...
- Rhett's about to ride.

You got to, you got to put out
an order for Amy.

- You got to search for her.
- Maybe she just went to the restroom.

No, no, I checked the restrooms!

Look, she's a smart girl,
I'm sure she's...

Please, please, Mark.
I'm telling you.

I'm telling you,
she's gone. Please!

- Look, we can't do that. All right?
- No, you can do that.

- You got to put an order out for her 'cause she's gone!
- Okay, look, I'm sure...

Can't you do it?
I'm telling you, she's gone.

Just calm down.
Everything's gonna be fine.

No!

It's not going to be fine.

Everything is not fine!

Why does everyone
keep saying that?

- Amy's gone. Amy's gone, Mark.
- Cecilia, come on.

Amy's gone!

Where are you, Amy?! You're...

God is gone!

- He's gone!
- Come on. Okay. Come on.

God is gone! God is gone, Mark!

Come on, Cecilia.

- Come on.
- But Amy's gone.

We'll find her, okay?
We'll find her.

- Rhett's riding.
- Come on.

Rhett, you ready?
Last one of the night, pal.

Let's go.

I can't.

Come on, Rhett.

Stick it in there.

Come out of here alive,

I'll buy you a chicken dinner.

Shit, man,
I don't know. That looks...

This is crazy, Rhett.

- You want me to...
- Yeah, I want you to.

Okay, cowboy.

Come on, Rhett.

He bounced back

like no other,
like only Rhett Abbott can do.

Let him hear you
one more time!

That roar of the crowd makes
everything that much better.

Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time,

your hometown hero,
Rhett Abbott!

Oh...

- Congratulations.
- I love you.

I want to leave...

all this. I want to leave it.

Just start over

in a whole new place together.

I'm ready.

Are you serious?

You were right.

I'm...

I'm done with my family.

What do you say?

- Yeah, Rhett!
- Yeah, Rhett!

Ow, ow, ow!

Come on, you fucking...

Oh.

Oh.

Oh...

Yeehaw.

What is that?

People have told me
that grace is a given thing.

And if you seek it,
you'll find it.

When I was a kid,
I'd go to church

and hear the pastor
preach the word.

And he'd make me
feel everything in my heart.

And everything in the world
around me

would have
a little more meaning.

The world was a bright place.

It worked on me.

God was everything good.

Then when I was eight years old,

I shot my father.

But when I saw that stray
bullet go into his chest

and blow all his insides out
his back, the world went black.

Like it had ended altogether.

And it hit me that
God is everything.

Everything good
and everything bad.

You're my family.

And you pushed out
that pain for me.

But I held on to it no matter.

And for my entire life,

I was afraid of how it might
bleed on to all of you.

And it has.

I tried to keep it secret.

I tried to protect you from me.

All of you. And I'm sorry.

I want to do it different.

I don't want grace.

I just want my family back.

All I want is our family back.

Our family is gone.

It's all gone.

Our children are gone.

Amy's gone.

No, she's not.
