00:05Previously on the Madison
00:14People are pretty worried y'all are gonna starve in there
00:17Put this on top and make Indian tacos
00:19You can't call it that
00:21It's racist
00:22Girls, when someone is trying to help you
00:25It's not your place to correct him
00:26Someone should
00:28What spoiled little bitches we raised
00:30They are not your children
00:32You do not have the right to speak to them that way
00:34I am not talking about them
00:35I am talking about you and your sister
00:38We are not on vacation
00:40My husband is dead
00:42Your father is dead
00:44Build a cabin where the tents are
00:46Then another one with a kitchen
00:48A place to gather
00:50I want to bury him
00:52Here
00:55This is my home now
00:57I die here too
00:59Do you know what happened when he died?
01:01The whole family died with him
01:26I don't think of whose parents are
02:33Well, not every time I leave town. It's every time I go on vacation. If I was at a shareholder
02:39meeting in Boston, everything would be just fine.
02:42Well, it's not fine and you're not here.
02:45Wait a minute. Hang on.
02:52It's snowing.
02:54Snowing? In June?
02:55In June.
02:57What do the fish think about that?
02:59The river's too high to fish anyway.
03:02Well, then why are you...
03:03Oh, no. Never mind. I remember. Cabins don't maintain themselves.
03:08They sure don't.
03:09No, I can't get you to change the curtains here, but you'll fly a thousand miles to restain a deck.
03:14Well, you can change the curtains anytime you want. What you can't get me to do is have an opinion
03:19about them.
03:20Yeah, it's difficult to have an argument when you're proving my point, honey.
03:23I didn't know we were arguing. It's been so pleasant.
03:26Can we get back to the crisis, please?
03:28We can talk about whatever you want.
03:32I had lunch with Abigail today.
03:34Oh, using her full name.
03:36Yeah. She informed me that she and Dallas are getting a divorce.
03:39Well, I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.
03:43It was doomed from the start. Well, actually, Dallas was doomed from the start.
03:48Anyone who names their child after a city, especially a city they've never been to.
03:52You haven't heard the best part.
03:55Dallas is staying in the apartment and asking for spousal support.
04:00Oh, yeah. Well, best of luck with that, Dallas.
04:03All right. Where's Abby staying?
04:04Well, she would like to speak to you about that.
04:09I think it's time that we let her figure things out for herself.
04:14Honey, I'm afraid that time has passed.
04:17We throw her out to sink or swim, we're just drowning her kids with her.
04:21I don't know. Just thinking about when we were young and crammed into a shoebox of an apartment with no
04:28furniture, rationing ramen noodles.
04:31Ah, the good old days.
04:32Yeah, they were. I mean, what would you trade them for?
04:36Apartment with heat might have been nice.
04:37No, I mean it. I mean, if you had had parents that you could run to every time life got
04:41hard, would you be the man you are today?
04:43Probably not. But Abby isn't a man.
04:46What? Whoa, wait. What's that supposed to mean?
04:49Easy. I'm not picking a fight here.
04:51Yeah, well, you let me decide that.
04:54Paige could handle it. She'd find a way.
04:57But Abby just doesn't have it in her, honey. She's a dreamer. Big dreams with absolutely no drive to see
05:04him through.
05:04And if we had remained poor, that would not have changed.
05:08So, I don't know. What are you saying?
05:09She gets to remain a child for the rest of her life?
05:12She remains our responsibility because she does not have the belief to be responsible for herself. She never has.
05:19No, the word you mean is discipline.
05:22No, honey. I mean belief. You gotta have that first.
05:25How can you have discipline about realizing a dream you don't believe you're capable of achieving?
05:30We can love her all we want, honey. We will never make her love herself.
05:38You are ruining my plan to blame this on us.
05:42Yeah, don't be too hard on her, honey. She's hard enough on herself, and that's her problem.
05:50She's the only one who can fix it.
06:00She's the only one who can fix it.
06:14She's the only one who can fix it.
06:16She's the only one who can fix it.
06:23That's incredible.
06:26Sausage or pancakes?
06:28Both.
06:28since when did my girls develop an appetite you want breakfast what are my options elk sausage or

07:54because boy are you going to I can see that we've all completely forgotten why we're here

13:34It's silly, but they wanted to thank you for the food.
13:37Oh, nothing silly about it at all.
13:40How'd you like those Indian tacos?
13:42Those are usually the hit at picnic.
13:45We are saving those for last.

13:55That would be great.
13:57How's the school here?
13:59Like the old days, they're all crammed in one room.
14:01It's great for the young ones,
14:02because the older kids help them.
14:04And it's great for the older ones,
14:05because they learn how to help.
14:07I'll be back before supper.
14:09No rush.
14:10I ain't going nowhere.
14:14Bye.
14:15Love you.
14:32So how'd you two meet?
14:34A rodeo.
14:36I was riding bronx because I'm stupid,
14:38and she was running barrels
14:40because she's wilder than a rabbit hair.
14:46I have no idea what he just said.
14:50I think he's saying they were made for each other.
14:52Yes, ma'am.
14:54That's what I was saying.
15:18Oh, it's okay.
15:26Howdy, amigo.
15:29You still got that yellow with the three socks?
15:32No, I got him.
15:33I'm sure you want him.
15:34He's fine outside,
15:36but he's a dancing sucker in the box.
15:38He don't like that marinas.
15:39Can I come try him?
15:41Yeah, anytime you want.
15:43I'll come over this weekend.
15:44Don't bring beer.
15:45My wife will kill us both.
15:46I make no promises.
15:50May I ask you something?
15:52Yes, ma'am.
15:54What in the world were you two talking about?
15:57A horse.
15:59A dancing horse.
16:01That he is.
16:04Okay.
16:10I just need to make a copy of the death certificate.
16:15The funeral home should have prepared.
16:17Oh.
16:25Oh, sorry.
16:27This one's the wrong one.
16:56We moved it out front for you.
17:00We're praying for you, Mrs. Clyburn.
17:03Praying?
17:04For what?
17:05For peace.
17:07It's not working.
17:34It's not working.
18:05It's not working.
18:21You want me to help me go?
18:33We got it from here, but thank you.
18:36You on another way?
18:36I just pulled up my phone.
18:38Sounds like a no.
18:40Don't you follow me?
18:42Thanks.
19:14I don't know.
19:20Your father's the only real man you ever met, so I'm not sure you have the data to make that
19:26comparison.
19:26Okay, you know what?
19:27This tough love shit is 20 years too late.
19:31Isn't that the truth?
19:33Is that why you asked me to come?
19:35You didn't get it out of your system this morning?
19:37Okay, you know what?
19:39Fine, Mom.
19:39Pull over.
19:40Give me your best shot.
19:42What is your plan?
19:43My plan?
19:44Yeah.
19:46In New York.
19:47For the future.
19:49I don't know.
19:50Co-parent my daughters?
19:51You're doing that anywhere.
19:55Work on myself?
19:56Honey, what does that mean?
19:58I don't know.
19:59Try and find happiness.
20:02Find someone who makes me happy.
20:04I don't know.
20:05Start dating?
20:07I don't know.
20:08Try to...
20:08You have no idea.
20:11No.
20:13You should stay with me.
20:15No, uh...
20:16I am not moving to the Upper East Side where everyone is married and...
20:20No, I mean here.
20:21Here?
20:21I told you what I'm doing.
20:23Mom.
20:24Abby, you have never been challenged in your life.
20:26Mom.
20:27This would be a challenge.
20:28And challenge is exactly what you need.
20:30You are not moving to Montana with no running water.
20:32We have running water.
20:33We have no sewage.
20:34How can you live here?
20:36You have no friends.
20:36The grocery store is an hour away.
20:38And what are you gonna do in the winter?
20:40Are you gonna chop wood?
20:41I know you are hurting.
20:42We are all hurting.
20:44I don't know how to move on from a failed marriage.
20:46I can't fathom moving on from a perfect one.
20:49But this is not moving on.
20:52This is hiding.
20:54You have countless friends in New York.
20:56Your family is there.
20:57All of the charities that you work so hard...
20:59The debate about what I will do is over.
21:02This is a debate about what you will do.
21:05And what I will do as a result.
21:08I will sell your house.
21:10Which is my house.
21:11And as executor of the trust, I will seize all payments to you.
21:16You wanna live in New York?
21:17You make it work.
21:20And what about my children?
21:22Pick a boarding school.
21:23I'll pay for that.
21:24You know, their father needs to be a part of this decision.
21:25Oh, no, no, no.
21:26I am selling his house too.
21:27There are no more free rides for anyone.
21:30Your options are stay here with me.
21:33Or you figure out your life on your own.
21:38What the fuck did I do to make you hate me so much, Mom?
21:43Abby.
21:45You don't understand that this is the most love I have ever shown you.
21:51Let me out of this car.
21:54I want out of this fucking car.
21:56I want out of this fucking car!
22:10Fuck!
22:12Fuck!
22:15Fuck!
22:17Fuck!
22:21Hey, bud, you busy?
22:23Yeah, I got some lost cargo on 89.
22:25You mind running it up to the house?
22:28Well, thanks, Amigo.
22:30Yeah.
22:35I'll beat one.
22:38There is a green room for him, just outside the theater.
22:41And the screening ends at 8.52, and then we'll escort him out for the Q&A,
22:45which is scheduled for 25 minutes.
22:48If he wants to do photos, he can.
22:50Um, and then we'll get him over to the Soho house for the reception.
22:55No, I won't.
22:57I've had a-a death in the family.
23:09Hey, you hit it.
23:11Come on!
23:12Is it cold?
23:13It feels great!
23:24It's cold.
23:27It looks cold.
23:34Hey!
23:36Hey!
23:37Hey, leave!
23:43Alright, come on.
23:45Baby, hurry.
25:01Oh, God.
25:15That sure is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
25:23I'm not.
25:25I'm not.
25:28You know, I got some experience with that solution.
25:33My father chose it.
25:38The thing about suicide no one talks about is that it's contagious.
25:43You know, lost a brother and an uncle before it was through with us.
25:48I would never.
25:49I just...
25:53My girls would never survive without me.
25:56They barely survive now.
26:02Those things come in real handy when you, uh, surprise a bear, but that's about all they're good for.
26:08Yeah.
26:10How would you feel about me hanging on to that until, uh, Grizzly makes you real angry?
26:19Okay.
26:26When my father died, the thing that surprised me the most was all the damn paperwork.
26:34And paperwork has got to be somebody else's job.
26:38Yeah.
26:40Your job's just to miss him.
26:44Yeah.
26:48I'm gonna follow you this time.
26:50Stay on 287 until you get to your robe.
26:52Okay.
27:29Hi, honey.
27:30Hold on just one second, okay?
27:31I'm going outside.
27:34Are you okay?
27:36I have been calling and texting and I...
27:38Are you my friend?
27:39Am I...
27:40Stacy, of course.
27:42Think real hard before you answer.
27:46Stacy, you are my best friend.
27:49Get on a plane.
27:51I need you.
27:51You text me the address and I will be the first thing in the morning.
28:11No.
28:13Is there any way someone could bring the rental car to me?
28:18I will drive them back.
28:22Okay, you know what?
28:24How about I pay for two rental cars and one person follows the other person to me?
28:33You know what?
28:34Let's try this again.
28:36How about...
28:40One second.
28:43This ain't very safe.
28:45This ain't very safe.
28:45You don't say.
28:47Also ain't very legal.
28:49Would you mind arresting me?
28:50Is there any way that you can bring a rental car to the police station?
28:53Is that possible?
28:54I got an idea that's a little less traumatic.
28:57How about I give you a ride?
29:00You do that?
29:01Yes, ma'am.
29:05In the back?
29:06Only if you start making trouble.
29:07I have all of today's trouble out of my system.
29:11That's good news for both of us.
29:19Thanks.
29:25You're out by the Mason Ranch?
29:27Am I?
29:29Where Cade works?
29:30Oh, yes.
29:31Cade.
29:33Cade the cowboy.
29:34He is that.
29:36Everybody knows everybody here, huh?
29:38Way much of an accomplishment.
29:43Oh, man.
29:57I'm sorry.
30:00If it's any consolation, you are saving me at the lowest point in my life.
30:07I don't get to meet many at their best moments, ma'am.
30:11It just ain't the job.
30:14I'll tell you this.
30:16If I had a loved one pass in New York City,
30:20I'd be a lot more lost than you.
30:27Do you have any music in this thing?
30:31Music is the one thing I don't have.
30:35But I can turn the sirens on,
30:37drive like a bat out of hell,
30:38if it'll make you feel better.
30:43It's worth a shot.
30:57Music is the one thing I don't have.
30:58The people just get right out of the way, don't they?
31:00Yeah, the sirens have that effect.
31:03Music is the one thing I don't have.
31:05I don't think I have the moral compass for this kind of power.
31:10What's your name?
31:12Abby.
31:14You're all right, Abby.
31:16Abby.
31:33Hey, we could try the indigenous tacos.
31:38What do you think?
31:39Do we eat all the lasagna?
31:40Yeah, lasagna is down.
31:42What's in the freezer?
31:43Um, everything in the freezer has hooves.
31:48All right, let's try the taco things.
31:53Where's Mom?
31:54Uh, there's a little light on in her cabin.
32:09I'll be back.
32:10Take care, Scray.
32:12If there was a bear, I think I would see it.
32:37Hey, it's Abby.
32:39Leave a message.
32:42Mom.
32:44You didn't tell us you were back.
32:48I'm gonna have to go back out and find your sister.
32:51She's at the neighbors.
32:53What neighbors?
32:54The cowboy.
32:55That doesn't make any sense.
32:57The cowboy followed me here.
32:59That's where she is.
33:01We're making dinner.
33:03Are you hungry?
33:03How did she manage that?
33:05I heard handsome, and I heard uniform.
33:12What's for dinner?
33:13The tacos.
33:15We dare not speak their name.
33:17I cannot wait for those girls to meet the woman who made them.
33:24We swam in the river today.
33:26Oh, yeah?
33:27How was that?
33:28It felt gray on my hoo-ha.
33:30And then Russell made me this baking soda bandage.
33:33There's no telling the yeast infection I'm in store for, but the swelling is sure down.
33:38My vagina is almost back to normal.
33:39Jesus.
33:40I gotta say, Paige, not the answer I was expecting.
33:48What are you doing, girls?
33:50Found this in our cabin.
33:52Internet stopped breaking.
34:01So, why'd you throw mom out of your truck?
34:04For beating Paige's ass?
34:06Hey!
34:07Number one, it was a drop.
34:09Number two, nice language.
34:11I didn't.
34:12Your mother asked to get out of the truck.
34:15Not what she said.
34:16Well, her relationship with the truth remains the same.
34:20Okay.
34:21I think this is ready.
34:23Okay.
34:39Let's go.
34:41I hope you brought this up.
34:42Have a nice day.
34:42Okay.
34:43Okay.
34:49Okay.
35:08Tony, don't rope the dog.
35:13And what are you doing?
35:15Making a spear.
35:16Hey, a little help here?
35:18Hey, boys!
35:21Here you go, darling.
35:22Oh, thank you.
35:24Here you go.
35:25Okay, that's not twice.
35:27Thanks, mama.
35:28You're welcome.
35:31Swap leads into the turn, Kayla.
35:50Looks like you're about on a horse.
35:52Let's get her washed up and fat.
35:57Don't mind us while we herd wild children.
36:04Oh, my God.
36:05Spade, uh-uh, let that snake go.
36:07He's not bothering you.
36:08Are there more of those things around?
36:10Oh, you want as many of those around as you can get.
36:13Oh, why is that?
36:14Keep the rodents away.
36:16If you ain't got rodents, you ain't got rattlesnakes.
36:19Good to know.
36:21Mm.
36:23Well, it looks like they're...
36:26Should we go?
36:27Oh, they'll get those kids put down and be right back out.
36:31Oh, thanks.
36:33You have kids?
36:35Two boys.
36:36How old?
36:3714 and 11.
36:40I was the scourge of New York when I got pregnant at 20.
36:43Mm-hmm.
36:44You fit right in here.
36:47Where's your wife?
36:49Well, she died.
36:52I'm sorry.
36:53It was, uh...
36:55It was a few years ago.
37:01Cancer?
37:04ATV flipped over on her.
37:06She was running it up the hill.
37:09She had no business being on, but you couldn't tell her no.
37:14She was wild as fire.
37:16She was wild as fire.
37:21What about you?
37:22Hmm.
37:24My ex-husband is...
37:26very much alive.
37:28I only wish he were dead.
37:31You don't wish that?
37:32I'm kidding.
37:33I shouldn't have said that.
37:35I was...
37:38He a good father?
37:42That's an interesting question.
37:44Pretty important one.
37:45He's half the deal.
37:46Just interesting you thought to ask it.
37:50What's interesting is...
37:55you haven't answered.
38:00Hope he is.
38:02For your kid's sake.
38:07It's getting late.
38:09Want me to take you home?
38:11Oh, I would like that very much.
38:13But for now, I will settle for the ranch next door.
38:19Well...
38:20Ranch next door it is.
38:24Thanks.
38:34What?
38:37What?
38:37What?
38:39What are you...
38:40Well, you want to go back, right?
38:42Yeah.
38:43Okay.
38:44Okay.
38:44But you're not walking.
38:46Yeah, I'm waiting for you.
38:47Oh.
38:48You want me to move first?
38:49And then I walk with you.
38:51That's how it works.
38:51Okay.
38:52Yeah.
38:53Just...
38:54Still figuring out the rules here, so...
38:55Cool.
38:56They're too hard to figure out.
39:05Thanks.
39:06You bet.
39:06You bet.
39:16Oh.
39:17I don't know.
39:53I don't know.
40:19How long are you in the valley?
40:22That is the question, and I have no answer.
40:26Here's another one. When are you all coming back?
40:29Another question with no answer.
40:33Why?
40:37Why do you ask?
40:40I know you're dealing with a lot, and this ain't the time.
40:43Good timing is not something I was blessed with.
40:46Got to take my shots when they come.
40:51I'm trying to decipher that.
40:53There's not much to decipher. The answer is yes.
40:58I haven't asked a question yet.
41:01The answer is still yes.
41:06Okay.
41:07This is when the country boy thing needs a little kick in the ass.
41:11Do you have a pen?
41:12Something to write on?
41:27Right, okay. So I'll, uh...
41:35Great.
41:38Nope. I'm gonna... I'm gonna need one more of those.
41:53Oh, my God.
41:56Okay.
41:59You better go, or I'm gonna drag you into a horse stall.
42:04That's not the threat to make me leave.
42:08Um.
42:11I am gonna go.
42:14Do damage control on my daughters.
42:17After we plot out a cemetery and plan a funeral,
42:21I am pretty free.
42:23So...
42:23Give me a call.
42:26I'll do it.
42:35Oh, my God. He's fucking beautiful!
42:38I don't know about beautiful.
42:40He's fit. He's in shape.
42:42But that's, like, the job, you know?
42:43So, please.
42:44He's so cute, Mom.
42:45Really?
42:46Yeah.
42:47You just found him on the street?
42:48Well, actually, he found me.
42:49It was steamy.
42:50What are you guys doing?
42:52I'm a sexy man.
43:02Mmm.
43:04That doesn't hurt.
43:07Harder.
43:08Your threshold for pain should be studied.
43:11Walk 30 blocks in four inch heels,
43:12then tell me it's the foot massage that hurts.
43:15I'm gonna take your word for it.
43:17So, the judge didn't award spousal support.
43:21Or child support.
43:23Why would you?
43:24They're both unemployed.
43:26Says each parent is responsible for expenses
43:28when they have the girls.
43:30And they need to split tuition.
43:34Or, you know, place them in public school.
43:37That's not happening.
43:39Well, maybe it should happen.
43:40In the village?
43:41Come on, honey.
43:41Look, this is a win because the court isn't dictating what we do.
43:45We're just gonna have to cover the gap when the girls are with him.
43:48He hasn't worked a day in his life.
43:51If we don't help, he'll tuck tail and go.
43:55Who knows?
43:56Where do 35-year-old adolescents go?
43:58Oh, Los Angeles.
44:00Try to become a fucking actor.
44:03Then we're just robbing their children.
44:06He's a nice guy.
44:08He's a dilettante with zero ambition.
44:11Be nice.
44:12That's partly our fault.
44:14We did.
44:15We enabled it.
44:17You're enabling it now.
44:19If we're always around to pick her up,
44:21she's never gonna learn to stand on her own.
44:24For God's sake, she's 33 years old.
44:27We need to let her fall down.
44:32Honey, I can't do that.
44:36She may be the oldest, but she's still my baby.
44:39I can't.
44:40I can't take that risk.
44:43Picking her up when she falls
44:47is my job.
45:06Told you, honey.
45:07Told you, honey.
45:33I could lose it.
45:34I can't.
45:41You could lose it.
45:41You could lose it.
45:42Me too.
45:42I can't.
45:42I can't.
45:42You could lose it.
45:45Pray, please.
45:45Pray, please.
45:56ludzi.
