01x03 - Trouble Can Be Fun Sometimes

Post by bunniefuu »

[Quinn] Previously
on
Ransom Canyon.

A piece of fender.

There's no way to trace this
back to the vehicle registration?

Easier finding a needle
in a damn haystack.

{\an8}[Katherine] Quinn,
it's Katherine Bullock.


I need a pianist for next season, and
your name is at the top of my list.


How about instead of trying to
fix my life, you fix your own?

[crying] She's gone.

It's all my fault.

I don't get it. Are you
getting back with him?

- We were getting out of Ransom together.
- I don't know what I want.

[Adam] Austin Water
& Power has agreed

to invest in one of Ransom's own
local businesses, Gracie's Dance Hall.

You're making a mistake.

I know you think the world revolves around
you, Staten Kirkland, but it doesn't.

Thought you had that sit-down
with Austin Water & Power.

Why are you so damned interested
in what I'm doing all of a sudden?

- All's going to plan with Cap.
- We're sure about this?

- 'Cause there's no going back.
- That's what I'm counting on.

Come here.

I want to talk to you.

Know about this fight tomorrow?

Heard something about it.

It's time to pick a side.

I expect you'll make
the right choice.

Sorry, man.

I don't do sides.

Right.

[door opens]

Step forward.

[relaxed country music fades]

Appreciate you making the drive.

Clearly you're not a very good fighter,
but you are a persuasive writer.

So...

Whether your forte is fiction or
nonfiction, that remains to be seen.

This is from the day before my
father left on his final tour.

[quiet, intriguing
music playing]

Yeah, yeah, that's
Linc, all right.

Your dad was a good man.

I remember your mother too.

She showed up to Linc's funeral,
and Cap sent her on her way.

Still, what you're proposing...

Is mutually beneficial.

You put in a good word with
your buddy on the parole board,

and I make sure Cap Fuller
sells to Water & Power.

I see you've done your homework.

Well...

I had a lot of free time.

Huh.

What if he doesn't sell? Hmm?

What then?

Then I take it from him.

Where do we start?

[footsteps approaching]

This the emergency I needed to
come for? Tangled Christmas lights?

- They're for ambiance.
- Is that right?

Yes.

Thank you.

So, what's got you so stressed?

I guess it's just, well, I... I've
pushed this reopening party on Quinn,

and... and if it doesn't go well, she's
never gonna take my ideas seriously again.

You're the one who got her the money
to keep this place afloat, right?

Yeah.

That's the only
idea that matters.

Oh.

Hey.

Tonight's gonna be
great. Trust me.

Now, breathe.

[exhales]

Good. Yeah.

[soft, poignant music playing]

[Lauren sighs]

- You skipping work again today?
- I'll just take a couple days off.

Pick the house up a bit
before your mom comes home.

Not the first time she needed
some space. She'll be back.

- Dad, we've talked about this...
- I said she'll be back, okay?

You're mad at me, aren't you?

I'm the one who told her to fix her life,
and now she's gone, and you blame me.

Ain't that right?

Your mother's not gone,
and I don't blame you.

Let's just drop it, okay?

Hey, have a good day.

[melancholy music playing]

[Quinn] That's a lot of lights.

- Do you hate it? You hate it.
- No, Ellie, I don't hate it.

Oh my God, this whole night
is gonna be a disaster.

I'm running out of twinkle lights,
two bartenders already called in sick,

and, um, the beer cooler's
officially busted.

- What?
- That one I have under control though.

What the hell's
Staten doing here?

- Fixing the cooler.
- Yeah, I can see that. Why him?

We always call Staten.

- [loud thuds]
- Oh God.

Oh God, okay, excuse me.

No, not there.

[phone vibrates]

[wistful music playing]

- [Staten] The cooler's fixed.
- [gasps]

[Staten] Oh, whoa.

Sorry about that.

[Quinn sighs]

Look, I know that I'm
on your sh*t list.

But Ellie asked me to come
over and fix the beer cooler.

It's fine, I appreciate it.

So, how'd your party end up?

Well, it... it wasn't my party.

And my night kind of
ended as soon as you left.

So...

So does fixing the cooler for
the enemy make you complicit

in our slow, collective,
inevitable death?

Yeah, maybe.

[Quinn] Mm.

Maybe.

So I'm guessing I won't
see you here tonight.

Do you want to see
me here tonight?

There's a few
single girls coming.

I'm sure they'd all love to
dance with Staten Kirkland.

Oh. Right.

[Samuel] Hot damn!

Quinn O'Grady, you and Ellie
have done a hell of a job

restoring old Gracie's
to her former self.

I thought he left.

Yeah, well, I guess the old man
isn't finished politicking yet.

Come on, son, let's order.

[sentimental music playing]

All right.

- Okay. Okay.
- Okay.

All right.

Hey.

How's my hair?

Uh, it's... It's good, why?

All right. Don't get mad.

And if you tell me not
to do it, I won't do it.

But my dad's got some reporter
coming over to interview me

about the night at the ghost
house for the local news.

- Reid...
- I know. I know. What am I supposed to do?

He won't take no for an
answer, and I just...

I can't stand him being
disappointed in me.

It's okay.

Is he gonna say anything?

- Lucas.
- No. No, no, no. He's not like that.

Yeah. I'll talk to him, okay?

Okay.

You're the best.

[footsteps receding]

- [sighs]
- [class bell rings]

[indistinct chatter]

- Hey, can I talk to you, please?
- Not now.

Look, I understand you're angry, but
if you give me a chance to explain...

You realize not everything's
about you, don't you?

Of course I do.

What is going on with you?

It's my brother.

We got into a fight,
now he's missing.

I have no idea where he
is or if he'll be back.

Okay, well then, how can I help?

I have the keys to the cheer van.
We can go check Kit's usual spots.

How would Reid feel about that?

That's actually what I was, uh,
hoping to talk to you about.

[soft music playing]

You're not gonna...

talk about what really happened
at the ghost house, are you?

He's just worried, so...

I'll keep the fact that your
ex-boyfriend is a liar to myself.

Or is he not your ex anymore?

No need to answer that.

Reid's comfortable to you.

I really hope he can
make you happy this time.

[man 1] Will you put that down?

[man 2] No. Yo, Freddie, this
could totally come in handy.

[Freddie] Quit
screwing around, Vern.

[Vern] Come on, man,
check this bad boy out.

Yeah, that's a man's tool.

[Freddie] Shut
up. Pay for those.

- [Vern] We don't need to pay for anything.
- Are you an idiot?

Last thing we need is for
every cop in this county

to be out here looking for us.

[upbeat rock music fades]

[Yancy] This guy
Freddie, he's dangerous.

- Does he know you're in Ransom?
- I don't know.

I don't think so.

If he sticks around long enough,
he's gonna put two and two together.

And if he does?

He'll do damage.

Probably squeeze us for a cut.

- Blow my cover...
- No, no, we can't have that, not now.

God damn.

[tense music playing]

You got a screwdriver?

arguing indistinctly]

[Freddie] You don't smell? You smell

[Vern] I smell natural

- [Freddie] It's called deodorant, dipshit.
- I smell normal.

[Yancy exhales]

[phone line ringing]

Hey, I'm on 87 North,

and there's a car swerving out
here like a damn water skier.

Yeah, yeah, I got it.

It's LHD 8439.

Thanks.

Truck door, huh?

Yeah, that's what I get
for not paying attention.

Although, technically,
uh, it is your fault.

My fault?

Not to split hairs here, but
you did send me to the store.

Ah, right.

Well, I, um, apologize.

You're good at this.
Do you miss it?

Nursing?

Sometimes, but, um, mostly not.

I loved it at first. I did.

But?

But doing that job starts to...

take a toll.

But now I, um...

I'm trying to find my way again.

Keep this dry for a few days, and
I'll take the stitches out next week.

And, hey...

take it easy out there, cowboy.

Get some rest tonight.
Nurse's orders.

And miss your big opening?

No way.

[horse whinnies softly]

Had a feeling I'd
find you out here.

Always going for a ride
when you get stressed.

Just like Daddy used to.

Gonna saddle that other horse,

or are you afraid your big
sister's still faster than you?

[Quinn laughs]

I wouldn't count on it.

["Feels Good" by

[bright country song ends]

You sandbagged it at the end.

[horse squeals]

I did no such thing.

You're so full of it. You
could never just take the win.

So, what's bugging you?

Am I that lame and predictable?

I mean, yeah.

I think I'm just
nervous about tonight.

Who knows, maybe Davis
Collins will show up.

[laughs quietly]

It's about time you stopped
pining after that Staten Kirkland.

You know I'm right.

I always appreciate you dissecting
my love life for me, Ang.

So how's Tim doing?

He's milking that busted leg for
all it's worth, but he's fine.

I should get back
and check on him.

I'm serious about Davis,
Quinn. There's a future there.

[horse whinnies]

[pensive music playing]

[Jack] Tim breaks his leg
and now Reid's the town hero?

That as*h*le's had a hall
pass his entire life.

Remember when he hit Adam Bolin in
fifth grade and said it was an accident?

You or I, we're expelled,
but Reid Collins...

Just how it goes, I guess.

[brakes squeal]

We're not gonna talk about him
and Lauren getting back together?

What's there to talk about?

I mean, I was f*cking fooling myself
thinking I might have a chance.

Shut up.

[stirring music playing]

He's back.

Kit?

Kit!

There he is.

I picked up some groceries,
a couple nice steaks.

Figured we, uh, throw it on the
grill before we hit up Gracie's.

Where have you been?

[Kit] You know, working.

Like hell. Bar W foreman said
you hadn't been in for days.

Kit, I thought you were
dead, or gone, or...

I was just doing a
little side hustle.

We agreed.

No more side hustles.

Look, you were right.

I had my head up my a*s thinking
Dad was gonna come back.

I just had to run a few errands
to get us back above water.

What errands, Kit?

You let me worry about that.

All you need to worry about is
lighting that grill up for us.

[ominous music playing]

[birds calling]

[door opens]

[door closes]

You know, your grandfather used
to sit there just like that.

Warriors, the both of you.

Ha!

So I take it you're not coming?

I don't know, I don't
think she wants to see me.

Huh.

Your grandmother, she left
the old man for a time.

She ran off to Oklahoma with some
kid who did roping for movies.

[Samuel laughs]

Things would have been a bit different
for you and me if that panned out.

[chuckles]

So what happened?

Dad, he got her back, clearly.

I'll never forget him looking
at me and saying, "Son,

some things are
worth fighting for."

I heard that Margaret moved out.

Thanks. I mean, yeah, it's...

It's... It's
incorrect, I'm afraid.

Margaret's just back
east visiting her sister.

Oh.

Well, that's a relief.

[chuckles] Yeah.

Well, you two enjoy your night.

- You bet.
- Will do. Thank you. [laughs]

Hey, uh, yeah, what was that?

That is none of that gossip
Angie O'Grady's business.

So what', you're gonna continue lying?
You really think that's gonna help?

No, I don't, but I know
something that will.

Great.

[laughs] You guys are gonna love the
show tonight. It's gonna be so good.

- We really...
- There she is.

- Hey.
- Hey.

So I realized as
I was driving over

that I was bringing flowers
to a flower farmer, but...

- They're beautiful.
- Yeah?

Well, I'm proud of you.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Um, I'm gonna put
these in some water.

Okay.

- Vote for me in November, all right?
- Or don't. Or don't.

that to my son.

Yeah, I'm afraid I'm the
last person he'd listen to.

You both know that...

he was good to Amalah.

But he loves you,
Quinn, he always has.

And I know he can be
stupid, and bullheaded,

and Lord knows he's
bad at talking,

but I see the way
he looks at you.

The way he's always
looked at you.

Sometimes I think you might be
the only person he'd listen to.

to let these damn theories go?

It's not a theory,
Dan, it's a lead.

I got confirmation. That piece
of bumper is from a blue F-250.

- And the chop shop I messaged you...
- Yeah, is a dead end.

And firmly out of
my jurisdiction.

Why don't you call Bandera PD and let
them deal with your stubborn a*s, hmm?

Oh, yes! Another round

- Ah, don't be a buzzkill, brother. Here.

Are you aware that your nephew
is starting quarterback now?

Yeah, I think so.

- You see him on the news today, senator?
- [Samuel] We sure did. Hometown hero.

- That's right.
- It was nothing, really.

No! He's just being
modest. Ain't you, son?

Uh, yeah, I just do what
my dad taught me to do.

[Davis] That's right.

If people are in trouble or the
town needs help, then we show up.

Yes, we do.

All right, well, if
you'll excuse me.

Excuse me.

Hey.

Hi.

- Thank you for coming.
- Thank you for letting me in.

Mm. [chuckles lightly]

I'm really happy for
you, Quinn. I am.

Thanks.

What?

Staten Kirkland.

- Angie!
- Hmm.

How are you?

Aw, just prouder than
heck of our girl here.

Yeah, that's... that's nice.

A little birdie told me that Sarah
Reese is gunning for a dance with you.

Is that right?

[Angie] Mm-hmm.

I think I'll need a few
more of these first.

You guys enjoy.

[Angie] Hm.

So, in your head, was
that... was that smooth?

I was in Austin
for a conference.

Your voicemail was full,
and I don't give up easily.

About that, I'm... I'm so sorry.

Oh, no apology necessary.

it's time.

Go, we'll talk later.

fight is enough for tonight.

- Did your dad drag you here tonight?
- What?

Did he tell you to come here?

No... I mean...

we talked about it,
drove here together.

What kind of whiskey
did you get me?

He said it was your idea. I would
think you'd know what it was.

Yeah, well, he says a
lot of things, Quinn.

He's a professional
bullshit artist.

So you don't know?

I... What does it matter?

It doesn't.

I guess none of it does.

What do you mean?

I know what you're doing.

You stay the hell out of my
business, do you understand me?

I'm just trying to help you see what
you're missing. I'm worried about you.

Don't do that.

You're not worried about me, you're
worried about your re-election.

About what it might look
like if our state senator

can't get his own family to sign
off on this stupid pipeline.

You know, I forgot how
far you are willing to go.

But to get to me by going
through her? What the...

What the hell is wrong with you?

You listen to me, boy.

That pipeline's gonna run,
make no mistake about it.

But I'm trying to find a solution that
benefits everyone, first and foremost you.

Uh-huh.

Now, if that effort isn't
recognized or appreciated,

I'm sure there's plenty of solutions
that just might not factor you in. Hmm?

We understand each other?

No.

No, I will never understand you.

I'm gonna leave before I say
something I can't take back.

I imagine you can
get a ride home.

- Oh, I'll walk if I have to.
- Good.

And you sure as hell better
not be there when I get back.

Leonard's adamant about doing
Prokofiev's "Piano Concerto Number Two."

- Oh.
- And you, my dear,

are the only pianist I've
ever heard to do it justice.

Those jumps in the third step
still give me nightmares.

[laughs]

You do realize that people
train their entire lives

and still only have
half your talent.

It's wasted here.

You know why I walked away.

Look. Don't answer me now.

Think about it. Take your time.

Auditions are in six weeks.

You're meant for more
than this, Quinn.

We both know it.

[pensive music playing]

You could have told
me about your mom.

I don't know, I guess... crying to someone
who's been through it twice just felt...

selfish.

My dad's the...

the reason, you know?

For me ending things with you.

That's why you got
back with Reid.

No. Uh...

I think part of me did it

just 'cause I thought it would
help me get over you, but...

Honestly, like, you're all
I think about every day.

- We can be together. Do you want that?
- Yes.

It's just, my... my
dad can't know, though.

You mean nobody can know.

I mean...

But we know. [sniffs]

Right? That's all that matters.

So just keep on lying?

Hiding?

Okay, I know it's not perfect.

Lauren, I...

I can't do that.

[sentimental music playing]

I'm sorry.

I was trying to do this.

He kicked me out.

I got nowhere else to go.
