00:00Previously on Wild Cards.
00:02You lied to me, Max.
00:03I could be on the other side of the world right now.
00:05I'll give you the egg.
00:06You keep your badge, I stay out of jail, and you can catch your brother's killer.
00:09That's why I need my best people on this.
00:11That means you.
00:12Her too.
00:12What do you want?
00:13Six more months off my dad's sentence.
00:14Two weeks.
00:15Yeah, he's dead.
00:16The 33 million is nothing compared to what this can get us.
00:25What is this?
00:26What's this?
00:27This is the con man's Bible.
00:28The Handbook of Hornswoggle.
00:30The Fundamentals of the Fleece.
00:31Yeah, I know what it is.
00:32I've already read it.
00:33You gave it to me for my 16th birthday.
00:34Well, read it again.
00:35You need to be focused on the long game.
00:37I am focused.
00:38You've gone soft, honey.
00:40Et tu, Brute?
00:42You did give back our 33 million dollar egg.
00:44Okay, we need to give it a rest, fellas, and rise up.
00:47How can we move forward if we keep living in the past, alright?
00:50Thanks for the insight, Dr. Phil, but are you planning on handing anything else over to the cop?
00:55Yeah, that's sure, because that's a crime.
00:56That was uncalled for.
00:57You're right.
00:58I was feeling attacked.
00:59I apologize.
01:00Darling, what we wanted to say is, we forgive you.
01:03Well, it sure doesn't seem like it.
01:05But don't do it again.
01:05Which brings us back to the book.
01:07Remember who you are, kiddo.
01:09I hear you, pops.
01:10So, we all agree to leave the past behind and look forward to our very bright future.
01:13This keeps up.
01:14I'm going to need a shot of insight.
01:15Next on the docket, where are you two limits?
01:17Ricky's going to find us a place.
01:18Which would have been far easier on a budget of 33 million.
01:21Sorry, I'll find us something acceptable.
01:28Oh, speaking of self-sacrifices.
01:31Hello, Chief Lee.
01:33How can I be of service today?
01:37Of course, I would love to do another assignment.
01:39But for two weeks off my dad's sentence, as we discussed.
01:42Oh, and I want a mini basketball hoop.
01:44And a mini basketball hoop.
01:45And a thigh master.
01:45And a thigh master.
01:46Face cream.
01:47And face cream.
01:49Chief Lee?
01:51Hello?
01:53He must have cut off.
01:54Maybe he's going through a tunnel or something.
02:00How's your breakfast?
02:03Why there?
02:06You need to clean out your scuppers.
02:08You're talking to me?
02:09Your scuppers are clogged up.
02:11My what?
02:12The gutters that drain the excess water.
02:15They need to be cleaned out.
02:16Oh, I mean, it's fine.
02:17The boat never leaves the marina, so I'm good.
02:19I used to do it for your brother, Daniel.
02:22Now it's your home.
02:23You need to take care of it.
02:24Show it some love.
02:26Or it'll rot from the inside.
02:28I'll be by this weekend.
02:29I'm fine, really.
02:31It's...
02:36Morning, Chief.
02:40Are you going to tell me what the case is?
02:42Lee didn't tell me much about it.
02:44Well, is there a file?
02:51Really?
02:52Okay, can we just lay all our cards out on the table and hash this out?
02:56There's nothing to hash out.
02:57Oh, there's a bunch of hashing to be done.
02:59What do you want me to say, Max?
03:01I don't know.
03:01Say anything.
03:02Say that you hate me.
03:03Say that I'm a liar.
03:04Say that you think my new shoes are super cute.
03:06Thanks.
03:07I got them on sale.
03:07But can we move past this and back to the way we were?
03:12We'll never go back to the way things were, Max.
03:16You still don't trust me, do you?
03:19Why should I?
03:20Oh, I don't know.
03:20Let me count the ways.
03:21Did I steal the egg?
03:23Yes.
03:23But did I return it?
03:24Of course I did.
03:25But I also helped you get your desk back, handed you your brother's killer, and took
03:29the blame when you disobeyed these orders.
03:33But sure, feel free to hold a grudge.
03:41All right, fine.
03:42Look, there's been an attempted murder at the Pruitt Ranch.
03:44On who?
03:46Target's name's Paul.
03:47That's all I know.
03:48Why all the secrecy?
03:50Pruitts are a really private family.
03:52They've been on their land for a hundred years or so now, and they carry a lot of influence
03:56in the area.
03:57Russo wants their endorsement for mayor.
04:00Yeah, exactly.
04:02Settle up, partner.
04:04This little bit of country is about to get a lot more rock and roll.
04:22Hey, Detective Ellis.
04:24See the Pruitts?
04:25We didn't stand for any police.
04:27These aren't the droids you're looking for.
04:29Thanks.
04:31Wait here.
04:33Well, they don't seem very neighborly.
04:35No.
04:44You must be Russo's detectives.
04:46That's us.
04:47I'm Rose Pruitt.
04:49Follow me.
05:07Russo didn't give us much information about the victim.
05:10I didn't even give any.
05:11Why not?
05:12Our business is our business.
05:14A woman with few words and great genes.
05:16I like that.
05:18Okay, well, is there anything you can give us?
05:21Someone tried to kill Paul.
05:24Who's Paul?
05:31This is Paul.
05:45Someone tried to kill your horse?
05:47Here's the name.
05:48Don't you, Paul?
05:48Someone knocked out the ranch hand I had posted here to get to him.
05:52Is it normal for you to post guards in front of your stables?
05:54No, but he's a $10 million stud.
05:57Whoa, Nele.
05:58$10 million buckaroos just for being suave?
06:01Ah, he's a champion breed horse.
06:03Horses have good intuition about people.
06:05Look, he trusts you.
06:07You hear that?
06:08The horse.
06:09The horse trusts me.
06:11Look, ma'am.
06:12No offense, but isn't there some kind of a livestock commission that handles these cases?
06:16That's like sending a locksmith to deal with a bank robbery.
06:19Okay.
06:20Fair enough.
06:21Walk me through what happened.
06:22My men saw the flames from the bunkhouse and then a figure running off in the dark.
06:27Did your men chase after this figure?
06:29Yeah, but they lost him.
06:31They had to put out the fire to save my horse.
06:34Well, look, I've been to my fair share of arson sites and this is not it.
06:40How so?
06:41There's no sign of an accelerant.
06:43It's a wood barn full of hay, right?
06:45I mean, if the point was to burn it down, they would have used gasoline.
06:47The whole thing would have been up in flames in minutes.
06:49What?
06:50You don't agree?
06:51I absolutely agree, but I just stepped in something and I'm pretty sure it's not oatmeal.
06:56I hope you get the receipt.
06:58Hey.
06:59Oh, this is Lana, our vet.
07:01I called her right away.
07:02Detective Ellis, this is Max.
07:04Did Paul sustain any injuries?
07:05My examination isn't finished, but aside from some mild smoke inhalation, he's okay.
07:09Bros, we got trouble in Pastor 9.
07:12Shane's getting into it with Mike Ryan and he took his gun.
07:14Who's Shane?
07:14My son.
07:17Cattle didn't knock over your fence, Mike.
07:19You're telling me that's not the Pruitt brand on those cattle?
07:22You're calling me a liar?
07:23From where I'm standing, there's only explanation that makes sense.
07:26Take one more step, Shane, you'll meet the business end of a shotgun.
07:33I've got the boots.
07:34I don't need a rifle.
07:35What the hell is going on?
07:36Y'all broke down my fence so your cattle can graze on my land.
07:39Mike, you know better.
07:40He's a liar.
07:41He's the one who can't build a proper fence.
07:43And you can?
07:43You know, calling you a cowboy is like putting socks on a rooster.
07:46It don't fit.
07:48Oh, burn.
07:49Okay, that's it.
07:50Shane, get back in the car.
07:52I bet he's the one who tried to kill our horse.
07:54That's a damn lie!
07:57My apologies.
07:58I don't have a gun yet.
08:00I'm working on it.
08:01All right, that's enough.
08:02Metro PD, everybody put their guns away and go home.
08:04Now!
08:09All right, I'll talk to Mike Wyatt.
08:10You talk to Rose, see if our suspect left behind any clues, all right?
08:13Got it.
08:15Partner.
08:19It doesn't seem like there's any love lost between you and the Pruitts.
08:24Everyone's out for themselves nowadays.
08:25So it wasn't always like this?
08:26This used to be a community that looked out for each other.
08:29Rose and I played together as kids.
08:32My family would go to her house for barbecues all the time.
08:35So what changed?
08:35I guess the Pruitts decided to shut everybody out and keep what they had for themselves.
08:39Where were you last night, Mr. Wyatt?
08:42Me and my men were on the road, coming back from cattle auction.
08:46Got home this morning.
08:47Got lots to verify that.
08:48Send me what you have.
08:50I'll be following up.
08:52You know, I've been around horse breeding my whole life.
08:55A stud horse like that is worth $250,000 a pop.
08:58But if he starts shooting blanks, he's more valuable dead than alive.
09:03What are you suggesting?
09:04Purses like that?
09:06I'm going to shoot up the wazoo.
09:14My ranch has chased him this way, but lost him in the dark.
09:19Well, it can't hurt to check again.
09:20You never know what you'll find in the light of day.
09:23So it's just you and your son?
09:26My daughter, Callie, works the ranch, too.
09:28My husband died almost 20 years ago, and since then, it's just been the three of us.
09:31Stop!
09:34Wait, what is that?
09:36It's a boot print with a scorpion carved into the heel.
09:40Do you recognize it?
09:41No.
09:42Everyone who works at Pruitt Ranch has a P, like this.
09:44It's an old tradition that way.
09:46If you die off-site, they know which ranch to send your body back to.
09:49Beersome.
09:50But practical.
09:53Okay.
10:00I know one man's trash is another man's treasure, but what is this?
10:05Well, this could be a horse killer.
10:07These two found this by the fence line.
10:08I know sometimes ranches use electrocution as a way to put down animals.
10:12We don't do that here.
10:13It's horrible, and I don't agree with it, but it's the most humane method if they're suffering.
10:20What's he looking for?
10:21Shh.
10:22He's horse whispering.
10:23Can I ask you something?
10:24Is Paul still an active stud horse?
10:26Yes.
10:26So he's still able to breed?
10:28Sperm's perfectly healthy.
10:29He's booked out for the next year.
10:31Wow.
10:33I'll take a look at you, buddy.
10:36Oh.
10:37See that?
10:39That burn mark, it's about the same size as the clam.
10:43What do you think, Lana?
10:44It could be, but he's also got a few minor burns from stray embers.
10:48If someone was trying to electrocute the horse, the fire could have started from a spark on
10:50the ground.
10:51Mom, you hear?
10:53Excuse me.
10:55Well, that could explain why there was no accelerant.
10:57Why go through all the trouble?
10:59Why not just shoot the horse?
11:03What did Mike Wyde say?
11:04Where was he last night?
11:05He was out of town with his men.
11:07But, uh, I have to ask, is Paul insured?
11:10For $20 million, he's the prime producer.
11:12$20 million?
11:13You're getting jiggy with it?
11:14I'm going to need to take a look at that insurance policy as well as any financial records
11:17you have.
11:18Why is that?
11:19They think we tried to electrocute our own horse for the insurance money.
11:23Get the hell out of here.
11:24Look, I can come back with a warrant, but it's just going to slow things down.
11:27Paul has a pre-existing condition.
11:29It's a heart murmur.
11:30It's nothing serious for a stud horse, but you have to put it on record for the policy.
11:34Okay.
11:35And?
11:35Have you ever seen an autopsy report for a horse that dies by electrocution?
11:40You come back listed as a heart attack.
11:43Which would make your policy void?
11:44And your family wouldn't get a dime.
11:47So unless you think we're dumb enough to spit in the wind, you have to get to work and find
11:52the real killer.
12:02I've heard enough.
12:04Where you going?
12:04The office.
12:05Bender's got to be paid.
12:06Payroll needs to ready.
12:07This place doesn't run itself, you know?
12:09If you want to waste your time with them, go ahead.
12:41Who put a snake in his boot?
12:42Finish that trust.
12:44We do have day workers coming through.
12:47Callie's the ranch manager, so if one of them wears that mark, she'd know about it.
12:51Where is she?
12:51This time of day, she's probably out at pasture five.
12:56But you can't get there on foot or by car.
12:59So, how?
13:01Time to settle up, partner.
13:07Nope.
13:08No way.
13:09I don't write anything that makes its own decision.
13:11That makes so much sense, you know that?
13:17Show off.
13:19Come on.
13:20Grab on.
13:22Come on.
13:28Come on.
13:29There you go.
13:32Okay.
13:33Hold on tight, all right?
13:35Okay.
13:36Just take it slow.
13:40Dad!
14:05I'll see you next time.
14:13I'll see you next time.
14:24I've been sleeping with the hurry for the last month.
14:26You don't sleep in the main house?
14:27No.
14:28Mom and Shane and me get along a whole lot better with a couple hundred acres between us.
14:33Do you recognize his boot print from any of your day workers?
14:38Nope.
14:39But I don't check every one of their boots.
14:41We're going to need a list of names and addresses for all the ranch hands you currently employ.
14:46Yeah.
14:47A lot of these guys don't have proper addresses.
14:49But it is Thursday night.
14:51So, it's time to brush up on your apple jacks and corkscrews.
14:54Who are you?
14:55Who are you?
14:57Who are you?
14:58Who are you?
14:59These ranch hands won't talk to a cop.
15:01They'll scatter faster than a snooze through a screen door.
15:03What do you got in mind?
15:04Albie, a filthy, rich, Texas heiress with a PhD in sass.
15:08Call me Darlene.
15:10Why not Jolene?
15:11Because everybody knows Jolene is a man-stealing homewrecker.
15:15But only Darlene has a bow-legged husband named Earl.
15:19You're my tall drink of bitterness and seething rage.
15:22Max, we're doing this by the book, okay?
15:24Now, Callie said that the day workers are going to be at the bar tonight,
15:27so all we've got to do is go there,
15:29match the boot heel to the one in the photo,
15:30and just keep a little profile.
15:32Clear?
15:33Clear as creek water in July?
15:36Pull over at that tech shop.
15:38Why?
15:44Yee-haw.
15:45Finding that boot just got as hard as putting a saddle on a rattlesnake.
15:49Right, Earl?
15:51Pull it up!
15:52Ain't no trouble, we don't find it.
15:55Pull it up!
15:57We'll be right back, huh?
15:58Work.
15:59Pull it up!
16:00Take your angel that surprises
16:03Go ride tonight, night, night
16:05Oh, we're riding tonight, night
16:06Pull it up!
16:17Honey, do you have a map?
16:19A map?
16:20No, why?
16:20Because I just got lost in your eyes.
16:23Oh, boy.
16:25Shoot, ladies!
16:26You're about as welcome here as a porcupine out of news, honey.
16:32Don't be shy now.
16:35What did you do?
16:37Found a way to look at some boots.
16:39All right, all right!
16:40Listen up, folks.
16:41An anonymous patron has just ponied up 500 buckaroos
16:45to see who is the best blind dancer in this honky-tonk.
16:48Who's up for the challenge?
16:50You better know how to heel-toe hustle.
16:53By the way, can I borrow 500 buckaroos?
17:08Any man of mine better be proud of me
17:12Even when I'm ugly, he still better love me
17:15If I can really lay for a date, that's fine
17:17But it better be on time
17:20Any man of mine say, it's just right
17:24And last year's dress is just a little too tight
17:27Anything I do or say better be okay
17:30With a half a bad hair day
17:34And if I change my mind
17:36A million times
17:39I wanna hear him say
17:42Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
17:46I like it that way
17:49Any man of mine
17:51Better walk the line
17:54Could show me teasing, squeezing, pleasing
17:58Kindly tight
18:00I need a man who knows
18:04How the story goes
18:06There's gotta be a heartbeat find
18:10He's a breathtaking, earth-breaking kind
18:15Any man of mine
18:24It's time to slow things down now, folks
18:26So grab that special song
18:51Who's gonna tell you when?
19:08I didn't see any boot heels with a scorpion on it
19:10Did you?
19:12Nope
19:19You were right
19:23I was right
19:24About what?
19:26We'll never go back to the right things part
19:29It's okay, because
19:32It'll just be something new
19:47There he is
19:51Let's go take him down
19:52And hog tie him
19:53Like a no-good barman he is
19:54No
19:55Not based off one boot print
19:57It's really not in a crowd like this, okay?
19:59We need to isolate him
20:00Get him alone
20:01Question him
20:01Oh, okay
20:02I've got a better idea
20:03How about you go over there
20:04And stand next to him
20:05At the bar
20:06And do what?
20:07Just look pretty, okay?
20:09Trust me
20:10Go
20:12Go
20:18I'll take a whiskey
20:21Damn, partner
20:22That looks painful
20:23How'd you get that?
20:23You've never seen a rope burn before?
20:26I'll come to being a real cowboy
20:33I've given you everything, Earl
20:35Best months of my life
20:36And all you've ever given me is disappointment
20:38You're all hat
20:39No, Kim
20:40Yeah, well
20:41Maybe if you weren't such a
20:44Lying
20:44Cheating
20:45No-good
20:45Why if I'd trust you more often?
20:47You've never trusted me
20:48And you never will
20:49Trusting me is the biggest mistake I ever made
20:51Oh, really?
20:52Well, how about I trust you with one thing
20:54To get lost
20:57Uh, with pleasure
21:00Anything's better than sitting here and listening to your lies
21:07Good for nothing, jackass
21:20I am tighter than bark on a log
21:24So you
21:26You're straight as an arrow
21:27You can sure hold your liquor, Darlene
21:30Oh, thank you kindly, Sam
21:31You know, Earl never says sweet things like that to me
21:34But as I was saying, Earl bought me a stud horse
21:37I think he's firing blanks
21:40Just like him, you know what I mean?
21:43I wish there was a way I could put him down
21:46And the horse, too
21:49Can you believe anyone would spend a million dollars on a horse?
21:53He could've just bought me down
21:55Is, uh, is that horse insured?
21:57For more than the house?
21:59Are you serious about this?
22:01Dead serious
22:03But I'd want to do it in a humane way
22:05You know, I wouldn't want him to suffer
22:07The horse
22:09Not the husband
22:12You could talk the legs off the chair, Darlene
22:14You know, I do get that a lot
22:16I bet you do
22:18You know what?
22:20I can't help you with your husband
22:22Ugh, my achy breaking heart
22:24But
22:25I could help you with your horse problems
22:27Let's say, um, $5,000
22:30$2,500 now
22:32The rest of it's all done
22:33Really?
22:35Well, you
22:36Got yourself a deal
22:38Oh!
22:39Not here
22:41Let's, uh, meet up back in 20 minutes
22:45Red pickup truck
22:47Okay
22:51Oh, hello
22:59He said he's in a red pickup
23:09There it is
23:12Whoa, whoa, whoa
23:13Hold on a sec
23:15Stay back
23:16He could have a gun
23:26Looks like somebody had a gun
23:29But it wasn't Sam
23:37Yates, what do you got?
23:38Killer didn't leave anything but a bullet
23:40But forensics found electrical clamps
23:42And car batteries in the back of his truck
23:44Yeah, just did a quick background check
23:45No fixed address
23:46No next to kin
23:47What about his financials?
23:48Uh, he made a cash deposit of $2,500
23:51Just before the fire at Pruitt Ranch
23:53That's the same amount he asked for at the bar
23:55Which confirms that Sam was the one hired to kill the horse
23:57We find out who killed Sam
23:58We find out who hired him
24:00Anyone around town know him?
24:02Nope
24:02He was a ghost even before
24:03He was dragged up by the spurs up to cowboy heaven
24:07Wait, hang on
24:07He never worked on the ranch?
24:13Don't know him
24:15Well, he's the one who tried to kill your horse
24:17Which for most would be an expensive loss
24:19But, uh, drop in the bucket for you folks, I'm sure
24:22What's your point?
24:23His point is, killing Paul only makes sense
24:25If someone were trying to hit you in the pocketbook
24:27But, judging by the size of this ranch
24:29You guys certainly aren't hurting
24:31How does any of that matter?
24:33You were brought here to find who tried to kill our horse
24:36Send them home
24:37Our business is our business
24:40What?
24:41What's so funny?
24:42Our business is our business?
24:44You hate it here, Shane
24:46You'd be way happier in some corner office far from here
24:50Oh, says my sister who lives in a tent and plays cowgirl
24:53You think that keeps this place running?
24:55I'm the one trying to save this ranch
24:57Save the ranch from what?
25:00We gotta tell him the truth, Mom
25:02Kelly, shut your mouth
25:03Enough!
25:05The truth is we're broke
25:07If the horse dies, we lose everything
25:09Unless we sell the ranch
25:11Over my dead body
25:13Fine
25:15I'm gonna go try and find a way to make payroll this week
25:17Shane
25:22You wonder why I never come home?
25:27Used to be so close
25:29Like a real family
25:31Show yourselves out
25:35Boy, and I thought we had issues
25:37Yeah, yikes
25:44Well, he's not a happy camper
25:46I think he's hiding something
25:47I agree
25:48Let's find out what it is
25:53The building you followed Shane to
25:55Doesn't belong to the Pruitts
25:56It's owned by Kildare Builders
25:59They're like the Christie's of country western real estate
26:02They don't touch anything for less than eight figures
26:04And get this
26:05I did some digging
26:06They made several offers to Rose Pruitt
26:08Over the past few years
26:09And she turned them down every single time
26:11Shane Pruitt took two round trip flights to Dallas
26:14In the past month
26:15Guess whose head office is in the Lone Star site
26:18Kill their builders
26:20Well, we know Rose won't sell
26:21So why is he meeting with buyers?
26:23Because their last offer was upwards of 200 million dollars
26:26Well, I imagine for that kind of money
26:27You'd do anything to sell a ranch
26:30Including murder
26:30And why would you want to kill the stud horse?
26:32Because it would have forced Rose's hand to sell the ranch
26:35She would have had no choice
26:37You think I killed someone?
26:39The money from the ranch sale could add up to be a lot of motive
26:42Where were you when Sam was killed?
26:46I was with the Kildare CEO
26:47Drinking scotch and eating steaks all last night
26:50Why are you doing all this behind your mom's back?
26:52Every generation of Pruitt has taught it's their responsibility
26:55To keep the land in the family
26:56No matter what
26:57In mom's mind selling the ranch would mean her life
27:00Has been a total failure
27:00So she'd rather go down fighting than give it up
27:02You ever had someone who you loved so much
27:06Who was so infuriating
27:08Made your blood boil?
27:10Yeah
27:11Oh yeah
27:18Mom!
27:19Hey!
27:20Are you okay?
27:21Hey!
27:21Hey!
27:22Hey!
27:23Hey!
27:23Hey!
27:24Hey!
27:25Hey!
27:38How's our patient?
27:40She refuses to go to the hospital
27:41But why would she?
27:43She only got shot once
27:44I'm fine
27:45She's lucky if a bullet just grazed her shoulder
27:48What are you doing?
27:49Whoever tried to kill Paul is out there
27:51Not in here
27:51Look, my partner's calling for backup
27:53Okay?
27:53We're going to post two uniforms at your front door
27:55You'll do no such thing
27:56I have 12 ranch hands with rifles
28:01We haven't found him
28:02Ranch hands are still scouring the perimeter
28:04Mom, this isn't worth it
28:05Just sell this place before it kills you
28:07Oh yeah, you'd love that, wouldn't you?
28:10I've been talking to Kildare
28:12They upped their offer
28:13You did what?
28:14You're trying to save our legacy
28:16But you're going to leave us with nothing
28:17Get the hell out of here
28:18Mom, just...
28:19Get out!
28:19Go on!
28:24What, you have something to say?
28:26Yeah, I do
28:28You're too stubborn to listen
28:30I'm going to go check on the boys
28:32You can't keep running out to that pasture
28:34When things get tough
28:35Someone's trying to take our family down
28:40I don't see much family left, Mom
28:49Sorry you had to hear all that
28:51Forget it
28:52Check in on you later
29:00Can I get you anything?
29:02I need a drink
29:04Have you ever thought about selling just a piece of your land?
29:06Well, if people have been trying to get their hands on this land for over a hundred years
29:10I'm not going to be the first Pruitt to sell out
29:12We're on duty, thanks
29:15Speak for yourself
29:17Why not lease off a few hundred acres of land to a neighbor, like Mike Wyatt?
29:21He doesn't even speak to us anymore
29:23Wyatt says you guys used to be a community that looked out for each other
29:26We used to be
29:27The Wyatts were on one side, the O'Neill family on the other
29:30It didn't even seem like there were offenses
29:32So what changed?
29:33My husband discovered the O'Neills were poisoning our cattle
29:37Damn
29:37Yeah, it was devastating
29:39They were our best friends
29:40So why would they do that?
29:42Our cattle went to market at the same time as theirs
29:45And with us out, they just sell their whole lot without any competition
29:49My husband told me they were struggling
29:51I just couldn't believe they would do that
29:53What happened after that?
29:54The main water source for the whole valley is on our property
29:58And we would always share with the neighbors
30:00But after that, my husband dammed it up
30:02No water for their livestock or their crops
30:04They were gone in three months
30:06Good old country justice
30:08We've done so many things to hang on to this ranch
30:12But if you're alone at the dinner table every night
30:15What's the point?
30:18I think I am going to go lie down for a while
30:21Excuse me
30:23Of course
30:33I can hear the grinding of gears
30:35What you thinking?
30:36I think we may be looking at this case all around
30:39What if it's not about the future of the Pruitt Ranch?
30:42What if the motive is buried in the past?
30:47I got a copy of the land records for the Pruitt Ranch
30:50Okay, what are you hoping to find?
30:52The reason for murder
30:54Now, this is all the Pruitt land
30:57Up here is the Wyatts
30:58Okay, and over here, the O'Neills had 5,000 acres
31:02That is, until Rose's husband dammed up the water supply
31:05And they sold their entire property to Rose Pruitt
31:07The Pruitts took the O'Neills land
31:08They bought it, technically, but for pennies on the dollar
31:11Well, if I was the O'Neills, I'd have a hard time
31:13Baring my past with the Pruitts after that
31:15If there's any O'Neills left
31:16I got Yates looking into that, by the way
31:21There she is now
31:23Turns out there is one on your left
31:25Look who it is
31:28I need to talk to Rose, right now
31:30Let's go
31:34Come on, Rose, pick up
31:56Damn it
31:57Callie's not picking up either
32:02Listen to this
32:03Lana's mother died six months ago
32:06Lana started working for the Pruitts right after that
32:08That timing can't be a coincidence
32:09Why wouldn't Lana tell them that she's an O'Neill?
32:13To get close to the family and hurt them from the inside
32:18We need to find Rose
32:25Hello?
32:26Rose isn't here
32:26Yeah, one of the ranch hands said he saw Lana with Rose earlier
32:29But he doesn't know where they went
32:30Me and the guys are gonna ride out, take the pastures
32:32Oh, and Mike Wyatt offered to watch the house
32:34He should be there
32:37He just got here
32:38Okay, look, stay where you are, alright?
32:40I'll call you if we find Rose
32:42Did you know Lana, the vet, is an O'Neill?
33:07Lana, where are we going?
33:09We're gonna put the past right
33:12Over here
33:13You think that this is all because the Pruitts
33:15Let's check here
33:16Took the O'Neill land?
33:18Maybe
33:19But that was over 20 years ago
33:21Because Lana wanted revenge
33:23Why would she wait until now?
33:25You said her mom died six months ago
33:26And Lana came right after that
33:29Well, maybe her mom finally told her the truth
33:30There were rumors
33:33Back in the day
33:34What rumors?
33:39Come on, Ellis, pick up
33:41This is Detective Ellis
33:43Please leave a message
33:44Ellis, I know where they are
33:46I'm headed to the O'Neill homestead
34:04Get in
34:05Why?
34:06I don't understand
34:22Come on, Ellis
34:24This is why I need a badge
34:27And a gun
34:35Lana, what are we doing here?
34:36We're here because of what you did
34:37What did I do to you?
34:39You destroyed my family
34:40I don't know your family
34:42And now I'm gonna bury you on the land that was rightfully ours
34:45Your land
34:47Who are you?
34:50Maybe I can help
34:52What the hell are you doing here?
34:53Don't suppose you'd believe I was looking for the little cowgirl's room
34:58Where's your partner?
34:59Russell and F.S. in backup
35:01Doesn't matter, there's enough room in that grave for two
35:03I can tell you've gone through a lot of trouble here
35:06Digging up a grave is a lot of work
35:08But this could kind of be like a sisterhood of the traveling pants kind of moment
35:12Not that we're gonna try on each other's secondhand jeans
35:14See if one pair fits us all
35:16There's so much more to that movie
35:17But like, family
35:20Okay, I can see family is a touchy subject for you
35:26But I think you need to know the truth before you do this
35:28So do I
35:30What the hell is going on?
35:32Rose, your husband was having an affair with Lana's mother
35:35How do you?
35:36Because of the affair
35:37They had a baby girl
35:40You?
35:42It's true
35:44He knew what you would do if you found out
35:46I would kick him to the curb with only the clothes on his back
35:49And that's why he lied to you
35:51And tricked you into driving the O'Neill's away
35:53Mom felt so ashamed she kept the affair a secret up until the end
35:57I didn't know anything about this, Lana
35:59You have to believe me
36:07Whoa, whoa
36:16Rose was like you
36:18Just like you
36:22Pruitt's doing everything from my family
36:24This all should have been ours
36:33You forced my family to sell out to you
36:35My mother left with nothing
36:37Sent me in her belly
36:39Look, you can't turn back the clock
36:41And killing Rose wouldn't fix anything
36:44I want every last Pruitt to know what it feels like to lose your home
36:48To lose everything
36:50God knows I've made a lot of mistakes in my past
36:53I've hurt people
36:56I've betrayed those who trusted me
36:59But the past is the past
37:01Wait, please
37:03You gotta just move on
37:04And not until the Pruitt's have lost everything like my family did
37:20Hey, are you alright?
37:22I think so
37:25Max?
37:27Max!
37:27Yeah, I'm here
37:28Relax
37:29The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated
37:41Will do
37:42Thank you, Commissioner
37:50I just got off the phone with Commissioner Russo
37:53She sends her appreciation
37:56Appreciation is nice
37:57But how about the basketball hoop that I master in the face cream?
38:01Okay, appreciation is good
38:03Nice work, you two
38:04Thank you, sir
38:09What?
38:10What?
38:12I thought I told you to stay at the Pruitt house
38:13I thought you said, eek, that's a mouse
38:15I'm serious, Max
38:16It was dangerous
38:16You could have been killed
38:18Heavens to Betsy
38:19Is this your passive, aggressive, emotionally-stutton way of saying you actually care about little old me?
38:27I'll see you around, Max
38:32See you, Earl
38:38Hey!
38:44What are you all doing here?
38:46We wanted to say we're sorry
38:48And that we want to try to make this a family again
38:53That's a surprise
38:54We have another surprise for you
39:08Got room for a few more stragglers?
39:11Mike
39:18Keep your eyes closed
39:20No peeping
39:22Okay
39:26You can look now
39:32Oh my god
39:34Is that?
39:35Yep
39:36From the Stardust Casino
39:39I got it before it was demolished
39:41And you ain't seen nothing yet, girl
39:47I'm not finished yet
39:49But it's somewhere to sleep tonight
39:50It's not a private island
39:52Or even a mansion
39:54But it is officially
39:56Our humble home
40:00You like it?
40:03You're not speaking
40:04Why are you not speaking?
40:04What's wrong?
40:07It's perfect, Ricky
40:10Just like you
40:11I have one more surprise
40:13There's more?
40:14Mm-hmm
40:14Okay, you've outdone yourself
40:16Your dad asked you to brush up
40:19On your con skills
40:21I managed to get
40:23Jonathan Ashford's video diary
40:25Think of it as your CliffsNotes
40:27It'll tell you everything you need to know
40:29How did you get this?
40:31Ricky is magic, Buttercup
40:32Don't you know that by now?
40:35Yeah, I'll do well
40:37All right
40:38Video's on the laptop
40:39Ronnie's egg rolls are on the counter
40:41I have a date
40:43Don't wait up
41:07Well, here we are
41:09I never had any intention
41:10Of doing one of these
41:11Look back on your life
41:12Sort of things
41:13But, well
41:14It seems that time has come
41:16Even for me
41:17In my line of work
41:18I have accomplished
41:19What many say is the impossible
41:22I got out
41:22While I was still ahead
41:24And believe me
41:24That sounds a lot easier
41:26Than it was
41:26It takes a great deal
41:28To trust your instinct
41:29And walk away from a sure thing
41:30When you know it's too risky
41:32Or to turn your back
41:33On a person
41:34Or a relationship
41:35Because that's even riskier
41:37Bottom line
41:38I never got caught
41:39My name is still a mystery
41:41My whereabouts unknown
41:42And I've managed to hang on
41:44To most of the wealth
41:45I've acquired over the years
41:47I made it to the finish line
41:49So to speak
41:50I won the game
41:52So how did I get here?
41:54There's quite a lot to go through
41:55I made some notes
41:56So as not to miss anything
41:57Oh
41:58And in case you're wondering
42:00If any of this is true
42:01You'll just have to take my word for it
42:03And you know
42:04I do love to have the last word
42:06Which is perfect
42:06Because once I'm gone
42:07There'll be no one left
42:09To confirm or deny
42:11Which raises the question
42:13Why am I here alone?
42:17Because frankly
42:19If you're as fortunate as I was
42:21To make your living in this business
42:22There will be no Rosencrantz
42:24To your Guildenstern
42:25No Holmes to your Watson
42:27In the end
42:28The only person you can count on
42:31Is you
42:32Yourself
42:33Alone
42:57The only person you can count on
