We are not f*cking partners.
I already told you that.

Do you have any idea how far up our a*s

and the IRS are about to be?

We have over a billion dollars
of revenue a year,

a f*cking year.

And you don't think they're
gonna look at everything?

Oh, good thing for you
that my contract is

with a company in your son's name.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

The industry standard is
that I recoup 100%

before we split the revenue, right?

And typically,
the split is 60-40, not 70-30.

Plus your son is earning 50%
while I recoup.

There is a generous deal,

and then there's the deal I made you.

- And why would you do that?
- Well,

let's call it an apology of sorts.

And an investment in both our futures.

Plus it gives your son real capital

to follow his instincts,

instincts that led him
to an avenue of exploration

that you and many others ignored.

We ignored it for a reason.

Most played-out wells are dry.

Well, six of 'em aren't.

Yeah. Why would you do that?
Why would you insult me like that?

- Isn't that what you do?
- Look around, Thomas.

What I do is reinvest income.

What I do is diversify revenue.

Where that revenue comes from
is irrelevant.

Well, I can think of about a dozen state

and federal agencies
that would disagree with that.

Why don't we forget about what I do

and let me remind you what I did.

I spared you, Thomas. I spared you.

And I showed you
a considerable amount of trust

in the process, too.

I bet on your son, which is
something you could have done.

You bet on him to fail,

so he would owe you and so I'd owe you.

Let me explain something to you.

I don't owe you a f*cking thing
and neither does he.

Hey, every time
you take a f*cking breath,

- you owe me, Thomas.
- Really?

Every time you take
a f*cking breath, you owe me!

That thing I spared you from,

I can give it back any time I want.

Yours is a business
that needs money to grow!

My money is clean!

And the deal is fair for both of us.

I don't understand how
you're not more proud of him.

Oh, you thought it was luck, no?

But now you know it's not luck.

It's a blind spot in the industry,

and you're angry that he found it.

They're in the conference room.

- Okay. Thank you, Monica.
- Yeah.

Okay. Let me have it.

It's pretty complicated.

Well, give me the abridged version.

Well, the abridged version is this.

I now know why Monty was so stressed.

- Well, why was that?
- The company has no money.

Why would it have no money?

M-TEX is broken into various LLCs...

M-TEX Exploration,

M-TEX Oil Services, M-TEX Land Trust,

which holds all real estate,

with Gracie and Daisy Miller
as beneficiaries,

and Cami now executor.

But all revenue is paid
into an M. Miller holdco,

theoretically, with money flowing down

to the various LLCs

to cover payroll, leases,
exploration expenses.

Theoretically?

No money flows
from the holdco to the LLCs.

All LLC payables
come from lines of credit

at Goldman, Chase,

AgTrust, Amarillo National,
Pinnacle Bank.

The more we dig, the more loans we find.

We just can't figure out
how he's paying the loans.

Well, Cami, just call Alan.

- Call Alan and ask him.
- I-I've been calling him.

[REBECCA]
Most likely, this is a strategy

to limit tax liability,

but the immediate problem is

the funds don't exist in any
of the accounts we've found

to initiate the offshore drilling.

Or any drilling, for that matter.

[NATHAN] And all these lines
of credit are maxed between 80

and 90%.

There's a large mortgage on the home

and a second, a note on the plane.

Our best guess is when Monty
planned a large acquisition

or venture,
he paid down the lines of credit

and used the LLCs to fund.

Okay, so what are we looking for?

The account that pays the loans.

Okay, fine. I find Alan,

he tells us where this account is
and then we clean up the whole mess.

I don't think it's gonna be
as simple as that.

The holdco is a C Corp.

Monty was the only shareholder.

That means it goes through probate.

When a judge sees this,
he's gonna drop this entire mess

in front of an auditor at the IRS.

Okay, it's a Friday in Fort Worth.

Where would a guy
like Alan Thomas happy hour?

Maybe a smaller house, no jet.

But there's far more
happy people without planes

than there are with 'em,
I promise you that.

I don't care about the money.

I want Monty remembered
for something good,

not just another wildcatter

who got caught without a chair
when the music stopped playing.

[SINISTER RINGTONE PLAYING]

I'm gonna have to take this. I'm sorry.

Otherwise she'll shape-shift
into the truck

and bite a chunk out of me. Hey, honey.

Ah! Can you see this
f*cking bathroom? [SCREAMS]

[GASPS] And look
at the size of this tub.

I mean, we could swim laps
in that son of a b*tch.

That's not all we're gonna do,
you sexy m*therf*cker.

Hey, hang on a second, honey.
Here, say hi.

Oh. Hi, Cami.

Well, hey there, Angela.

- Is that the Dayton's house?
- That's what Stephen said.

You know, there were rumors

his wife was playing a lot
of tennis.

They divorced
over how much tennis she played?

No, they got divorced
over how much she played

with the instructor.

I want to make an offer.

I can't afford
that bathroom, honey.

I can't even afford the towels
in that bathroom.

It'd be good to have you in Fort Worth.

Well, you remember our cash flow issue?

- Where are y'all headed?
- Cattlemen's Club.

Ooh! All right.
I'll meet y'all there, okay?

Honey, it's a

- I love you. Mwah!
- bus... Love you.

- But don't come...
- [LAUGHS]

- [HANGS UP]
- g*dd*mn it.

Oh, wow. If you could
sell that exuberance.

Hell, they do sell it.

There's just a worm
at the bottom of the bottle.

[LAUGHS]

Cami, this business...

[SOMBER MUSIC]

The goal is to get out.

You build it up and then you sell it.

Monty should have sold it years ago.

And when we get this mess cleaned up,

it's exactly what you ought to do.

I mean, you know,
you can build him a museum

or a park or a cancer center
like the Moncriefs.

I mean, you can do something
good with it.

But if you stay in it,
it'll bleed you dry.

You'll lose all of it.

How do you know?

Because it happens
to everybody that stays in it.

Every single one.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Afternoon, Mrs. Miller.

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING SOFTLY]

Hey, you might want
to hang here for a minute, okay?

Well, now, why would I do that?

Because I'm gonna get a little rough.

Well, what do you think I'm gonna do?

Cami.

Cami, I was just gonna call you.

Oh!

- Where's my husband's money?
- [SCOFFS QUIETLY]

What do you mean? It-It's in trusts,

in-in your name
and in your daughters' names.

[EXCLAIMS, EXHALES]

- Excuse me.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

This'll work itself out in a minute.

Sir, this kind of behavior
is unacceptable in a restaurant.

It's not a restaurant. It's
a club. Restaurant's upstairs,

so it's fine down here.

Matter of fact,
that's what clubs are for.

You don't want to be
throwing sh*t at your attorney

upstairs in a restaurant.
Membership has its privileges.

Can I get an Ultra?

We don't carry Ultra.

Well, can you get me
the rich man's version of it?

Longneck, please.

I have been calling you for days...

- you, your office, your house.
- [SIGHS] Cami. Cami...

His business has no money, Alan, none.

There's lines of credit,
but they're maxed out.

I know. I know. And that's...
that's why I didn't call you,

because I-I know,
and I-I'm working on it.

Oh, thank you.

What is that?

sh*t's pretty good.

Is this settled down?

- What's your name?
- Bonner.

- Bonner?
- Mm-hmm.

That sounds like a beach town.

I can't call you Bonner. Tell you what.

I'm gonna call you Bob.
I can wrap my head around that.

So, uh, Bob, here's the deal.

Situations like this have
to come to a head

before it resolves itself,

you see? And it's about
to come to a head.

And how do you know?

'Cause I'm about to take it there.

- Uh-huh. What the... Oh!
- Come here.

[BONNER] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, sir,

- come on, now.
- Where is our g*dd*mn money?!

- [BONNER] Stop it!
- It's-it's okay.

Sir, if this escalates again,
I'm calling the police.

Nobody likes a tattletale, Bob.

Alan.

Where is our f*cking money?

[EXHALES]

Revenue gets paid
into a holding account.

From there, it funds

an offshore drilling company
out of Nassau.

And-and from there, it goes

into various private equity
funds and gets complicated.

We-we don't... we don't know anything

about any offshore drilling company.

Well, it was his company, Tommy.

Didn't owe you a g*dd*mn explanation.

Well, it's her company now,

and you owe her
a g*dd*mn explanation for sure.

I... I just assumed that
we would have a meeting

and discuss business structure
when she was ready.

Alan, we have
a $400 million dollar lawsuit

against us. I think
we're pretty f*cking ready.

All right.
First thing Monday, my office.

No, my office, and bring
all your little partners

and little secretaries with
little typewriters and sh*t,

the whole shiteree. I don't give a damn.

- Fine. Fine.
- All right?

I pay you now, so when I call,

- you answer me.
- I understand.

I don't need you to understand.
I need you to do it.

Yes, ma'am.
When you call, I will answer.

♪ And I'll hang up the phone ♪

♪ Just tell me ♪

♪ You don't need me anymore ♪

♪ And I'll leave you alone... ♪

Uh, I got to go talk to this guy.

I'll be right back.

♪ Had somebody new ♪

♪ After... ♪

Well.

Who's the gangster now?

I told you, we're not much different.

- That was just business.
- Business.

I understand. It's like
I'm looking into a mirror.

Who's that?

That's my boss.

And that's my wife.

[GALLINO] Oh. [CHUCKLES]

Party has arrived.

- [CHUCKLES]
- [TOMMY] I see that, baby.

[ANGELA LAUGHS, KISSES]

You didn't have any trouble
getting in here?

[CHUCKLES] In this dress?

Oh, sorry. This is my wife Angela.

- Who's this?
- Danny Morrell.

- Ooh, love the suit, Danny.
- Thank you very much.

Love the suit.

- Love the shoes.
- This is getting weird.

[ANGELA] Oof. Love the watch.

- Patek?
- Good eye.

Honey, you should dress like this.

If I dressed like that, I'd look like

I was selling cotton candy
at the state fair.

[LAUGHS]

Please, have a drink. Stay.

- No, we got to get out of here.
- Love one.

- Honey...
- Oh, there's Cami.

Come over here, girl. Come on, girl.

- Oh, uh, sh*t. [CHUCKLES]
- [CHUCKLES] Mwah.

- Hi. Danny Morrell.
- Ooh!

- Cami Miller.
- Ah, Ms. Miller.

Please, have a seat.

So I guess we're staying for a drink.

- Evidently.
- [CAMI] A lovely idea.

How about a tequila shot?

[TOMMY] Can we get, uh, tequila shots?

- Oh, buonasera. [CHUCKLES]
- Ah.

- Ooh.
- This is my wife, Bella.

- Hi. Hi.
- This is Tommy.

- Cami Miller.
- Hi. Nice to meet you.

- His wife, Angela.
- Hi. Hi.

I love it.

- Oh, wow.
- I love it. I love it.

- [ANGELA] Bella.
- [BELLA] Bella.

[CHUCKLES] I almost
named our daughter Bella,

but I didn't want
to have to keep explaining

what it meant, so then I thought just

- "Beauty."
- [BELLA] Beautiful.

But old stick-in-the-mud over here...

Yeah, that's me...
the stodgy voice of reason.

They should have called you
Bella with the skin

- and, ah, hermosa. Hermosa.
- Thank you.

[SPEAKING SPANISH] _

[BELLA] Sí.

Oh, they're speaking the love language.

- [GRUNTS] Can't f*cking take it.
- [BELLA LAUGHS]

Is this your life, all the time?

One big tragic cartoon.

- I understand why you smoke.
- [TOMMY] Yeah.

Everybody says that when they meet her.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

[AINSLEY] F-R-O-G-S.

TCU!

[PANTING]

That was great.

Are my jumps high enough?

- They looked high.
- It felt high.

My coach in Aledo

says it's 'cause
my Achilles is very elliptic.

[SNIFFLES]

Elastic.

- Right.
- Yeah.

[BOTH LAUGH]

You want a margarita?

- I would love one.
- Okay.

No. I'm in training.

Keep drinking your margarita.

- [CHUCKLES]
- I'll join you soon.

- [SHELBY] Keep doing your flips.
- [DOOR CLOSES]

I can feel myself getting dumber.

Nate, is, uh, is Tommy back?

In the morning, I think.

- g*dd*mn it.
- [FRIDGE DOOR CLOSES]

[CAN OPENS]

I'll tell you what, Nate.

I have cheated death...

...in this place.

[SNIFFLES] More than once.

But, uh...

[SIGHS]

...nothing like today.

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC]

They're both stable?

Yeah, uh...

they sent BR home.

And, uh, they're keeping
Jerrell overnight.

Tommy wants to take over that lease.

Well, we got to take
all the wells offline.

And, uh...

environmental cleanup'll take,

oh... 20 million, two years.

- It worth it?
- [SCOFFS]

Oh, hell yeah, it's worth it.

[CHUCKLES]

Oil's pooled on the ground
like a f*cking tar pit.

I'd, uh, increase the coverage

of our wrongful death policy, though.

[SHORT CHUCKLE]

Lovely business, ain't it?

[GIRLS CHATTERING IN DISTANCE]

Is there a TV on outside?

That is our houseguest,

cheering for a brighter future.

Mm. Well, best of luck
with that. [CHUCKLES]

f*cking kids.

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

I'll see you in the morning, counselor.

[NATE] Night.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

[BELLA] So,

Obama had loosened
the restrictions with Cuba,

so I could finally see his home.
And I planned this whole trip

- to Havana as a surprise.
- You can smoke in here?

[BELLA] And so I...

You can do whatever you want, my friend.

- That's good to know.
- [BELLA] And away we go.

- Mm.
- But before we take off,

the pilot goes to Danny and asks
if you prefer to go

to Cancún and take the boat in

so we don't get a Cuban stamp
in our passport.

- Mm-hmm.
- And oh, madona,

- his face goes wild.
- [LAUGHING]

He looks at me and says,
"Where are you taking me?"

And I'm like, "Baby, I'm taking
you home." And he goes...

He tells me everything
about... [STAMMERS]

His family is a great enemy of
Castro, and they will k*ll him.

And-and-and...

He says to me, "I-I can't
go home until Cuba is free."

This part always makes me cry. I...

- It's making me cry.
- I know.

I need a f*cking martini.

Yeah. [EXHALES SHARPLY]

How come you never take me home?

To f*cking Big Spring?
And do what, tour the prison?

[LAUGHING]

Somewhere. It could
have been my home, but nice.

Think about what you just said
for a minute.

[LAUGHING]

[ANGELA] Ah.

So, Danny tells the pilot,
"Take me to her home."

- Where's your home?
- It's in Portofino, in Italia.

- [SIGHING]
- It's a little fishing village.

So across the ocean we go...
[SNIFFLES] and

- we had to hop our way there.
- Mm-hmm.

We went to New York first, then London,

- and then Roma.
- Rome.

Finally Italia.

And there, all the houses are,
ah, a different color.

They're pink, and-and turquoise,

- and yellow and...
- Mm.

Danny looked at them,

and then he looked at me and said,

"Do you want to know my home?
This is almost it."

Mmm.

Oh, I've been there.

With my husband and my girls.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

It's beautiful.

Y'all need to cherish this.

I mean, do you know how rare it is

to love someone long enough

- to actually know them?
- [BELL] Mm.

[CAMI] Most people,

once they get to know their partner,
they fall out of love.

But a rare few fall deeper.

A very rare few.

How strange to be sitting
at a table full of 'em.

Where is yours?

Waiting for me, I hope,

if there's someplace to wait.

When did he die?

Seven weeks, three days and, um...

...11 hours ago.

Very few love enough to keep track.

That's my point.

I'm sure he's a very good man.

[TOMMY SOFTLY CLEARS THROAT]

I'm not so sure about that.

[SOFT CHUCKLE] But

he was very good to me.

And a loving father.

- What else is there?
- There's plenty.

But the plenty don't matter to me.

Tommy, you are surrounded
by fierce women,

and maybe that's why you're so fierce.

They make you fierce.

I'm not fierce.

I'm very protective.

Well, that's what "fierce" means.

How late does this place stay open?

Until I tell it to close.

- I'm so sorry.
- [CAMI] Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

I'm learning the scope of your thing

as you learn the scope of mine.

It's where we're at.

The problem you had
in the corner there...

I can help you with that.

[BELLA] Portofino is amazing.

Thank you for the drinks.

Hey, hon, let's go.

[SIGHS]

I f*cking love you.

- Oh, my God, mi hermana.
- [ANGELA] Love you.

- Órale, órale, órale.
- [LAUGHING]

Thomas.

- [ANGELA] Mwah.
- [BELLA] Mwah.

You think that some toked-out gangbanger

is gonna sign surface leases
without permission?

You think we're not already
in business together?

And you think my business
is what they do?

I don't sell anything.
I invest, you understand?

I'm just an investor.

And I told you,
we're gonna good friends.

Friendship is earned.

[BELLA] Yeah, so serious.

[ANGELA LAUGHS]

Have to say,
I do like your wife, though.

What do you mean, "I like your wife"?

Honey, we're leaving.
We can fight in the car.

Damn right we'll fight in the car.

[CHUCKLES] Ah, Mrs. Miller.
Such a pleasure.

- Thank you. Pleasure was mine.
- Mm.

You know what I do?

- I don't.
- I'm an investor.

In oil?

In people. In people that I believe in,

and you're a person to believe in.

Well, I may need an investor.

I'm very easy to find.

Thank you again for the drinks.

- My pleasure.
- And thank you for the stories.

Oh, of course.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Good night.

"I sure like your wife."

- Honey, come on.
- What the f*ck is that?

Honey, please don't start
this sh*t, all right?

Want to do a little sampling
off the Italian buffet?

Huh? You want to get your salsa on?

You are so f*cking lucky...

- I'm so f*cking lucky, what?
- Yeah.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Oh, you want
to give me the old backhand?

Huh?

Pull this truck over
if you want to fight.

[SCOFFS]

You think life has a big d*ck.

Wait until I hit you with mine.

What the hell does that mean?

[TENDER MUSIC]

[CRIES, SNIFFLES]

Now that scares the sh*t out of me.

You called me your wife.

Well, you are my wife.

- That was ten years ago.
- I mean, we've been...

kind of living as husband
and wife, so I just figured,

you know, uh, that's what I call you.

sh*t, I don't know
what else to call you.

Are you asking?

Am I what?

Yes.

- Yes?
- f*ck yes. Yes!

What are you doing? g*dd*mn it, honey.

No. No, no, no, no, sweetie, come on.

- Think about the kids.
- Ah. Mm...

Honey? Hon... Get back over there.

- g*dd*mn.
- [LAUGHING]

I'm gonna finish
what I started this morning.

Sweetheart, I would like
to see my kids alive.

I don't want 'em looking at me
in the ground, please.

Mm-hmm. [CHUCKLES]

- Sweetheart, come on now.
- [UNZIPS]

Ow! g*dd*mn, honey.

It's a Popsicle, not a snow cone.

- Shh...
- Ow.
