00:00:04Check it twice, cowboys. Brands, health papers, ear tags. Don't miss a thing. Yes, Mr. Coles.
00:00:11Yes, Mr. Coles!
00:00:15Hello?
00:00:16Mr. Coles, the placement's approved. The three kids we brought to Cedar Ridge this afternoon.
00:00:20Good. I'll be waiting for them.
00:00:25Sir, could you loan me 50 bucks? I want to buy used tack repair tools.
00:00:29You know how to fix tack?
00:00:31Rains, rivets, leather. Ranch hands come and go here every day. I'll pay you back fast.
00:00:36Tack repair ain't just hammering nails. Leather is tough. Rivets are heavy. Talk won't fix a thing.
00:00:42Go!
00:00:50Hey, watch out!
00:00:54Don't pull him!
00:00:55Kid, back off!
00:00:59What the hell are you doing?
00:01:03It's okay.
00:01:10A thorn got under the saddle pad. His back's rubbed raw.
00:01:23What a smart kid.
00:01:29I can loan you the money.
00:01:32But there's one condition.
00:01:34This is an investment.
00:01:36One dollar interest.
00:01:38Bring me your repairs in two days.
00:01:40Let's see if I invested right. Deal?
00:01:43Deal!
00:01:50Take these.
00:01:51Protect your hands.
00:01:53That's my first investor's lesson.
00:01:55Thank you, sir.
00:01:56I'll be back in two days.
00:02:02I won't let you down, rancher.
00:02:08Oh, it's such a curse.
00:02:15Wow!
00:02:16We won't split up anymore.
00:02:18And I heard our dad owns this ranch.
00:02:21Those cows?
00:02:23They're all his?
00:02:24This place has thousands of acres.
00:02:26He is a millionaire.
00:02:28Yes!
00:02:29I'll buy every Barbie in the world.
00:02:30And my own island.
00:02:32I'll let him buy yachts, jets, and an NBA team.
00:02:35Yeah!
00:02:37Woo!
00:02:38Hey, kids.
00:02:40You can call me Ethan until you're ready.
00:02:44Come on.
00:02:45Pick your rooms.
00:02:54Kid, the last trailer's gone.
00:02:58I'll find you, bud.
00:03:03We want our pay!
00:03:04We want our pay!
00:03:06We want our pay!
00:03:08We want our pay!
00:03:09We want our pay!
00:03:11Ethan!
00:03:13You owe us answers!
00:03:15If he doesn't come out, we're going in!
00:03:17Yeah!
00:03:19How did all the money vanish overnight?
00:03:22I don't know either.
00:03:24Nobody could move the money except you and the top managers.
00:03:26We want our pay!
00:03:28We want our pay!
00:03:29We want our pay!
00:03:42They're back.
00:03:43Maybe they found where the money went.
00:03:45My kids are back.
00:03:53Thank you, Dad!
00:03:55Dad, I'll run all your cattle when I grow up.
00:03:58Dad, I'll handle your books!
00:03:59Dad, I'll drive you around!
00:04:03Dad'll be waiting for that day.
00:04:08Did you figure out the accounts?
00:04:17Kid?
00:04:21Don't call me that old man.
00:04:22Are we that close?
00:04:24Look outside.
00:04:25Those cowboys are going nuts.
00:04:27They don't get paid.
00:04:28They'll butcher the cattle.
00:04:33How about this?
00:04:35Give me the ranch, I'll handle them.
00:04:37Or when they store them in, who knows what they'll do to you.
00:04:42What are you saying?
00:04:47The money.
00:04:48You did this?
00:04:51So what?
00:04:52We moved every dime from those accounts.
00:04:55The ranch might have nothing left but your cattle hides.
00:04:58Don't look at us like that.
00:04:59You left us this mess.
00:05:00Now we're willing to clean it up.
00:05:02You should thank me.
00:05:02You're too damn old for a ranch this big.
00:05:0620 years ago, I brought you three here.
00:05:08I sent you to the best schools.
00:05:10Gave you everything you needed.
00:05:12And this is how you...
00:05:13I'm grateful, right?
00:05:14We got lucky.
00:05:15We're here because we're smart and we worked hard.
00:05:17What did you ever have to do with that?
00:05:21Emma, why waste time on him?
00:05:28He won't sign?
00:05:29Then make him sign.
00:05:33What an old cripple limping around the ranch.
00:05:36Don't you feel ashamed?
00:05:37You may one day fall off a horse and die.
00:05:40What's the point of cleaning to thousands of acres?
00:05:42Give us the ranch.
00:05:43Maybe we'll let you retire in peace.
00:05:44You want my ranch?
00:05:46You want my ranch?
00:05:50Let's see how tough you sound when they come upstairs.
00:05:55Old cowboy, keep some dignity for yourself.
00:06:04Think it over.
00:06:05Call us when you're ready.
00:06:17Mr. Cole, your mother Margaret's aortic valve suddenly worsened.
00:06:20She needs emergency valve replacement surgery.
00:06:23Treatment and follow-up cares will cost at least three million dollars.
00:06:29God, I've spent my life helping others.
00:06:31Is this how good people end up?
00:06:33Mr. Cole, are we really out of options?
00:06:36If we can't pay the ranch hands, they're going to burn this place down.
00:06:46Help me downstairs.
00:06:48I'll handle it.
00:06:55Ethan Cole, get your ass out here!
00:06:58Everyone, calm down.
00:06:59Mr. Cole is working on it!
00:07:01Come on, get going!
00:07:18Mr. Cole, we need to get back upstairs
00:07:22I'm fine
00:07:23Help me over there
00:07:33Ethan Cole, you bastard
00:07:35We busted our backs for you
00:07:37Now you won't even pay us
00:07:38How the hell can you face us?
00:07:40The whole town says Cedar Ridge is drained dry
00:07:42The accounts are empty
00:07:44How will you pay us now?
00:07:45Ethan, you're driving us all into the ground
00:07:47I've got a wife and kids to feed
00:07:49Rent, groceries, my kids' medicine
00:07:51All waiting on this paycheck
00:07:52No money means no life
00:07:54Give us our damn pay
00:08:01Pay us back
00:08:02Pay us back
00:08:05Pay us back
00:08:07Pay us back
00:08:16Everyone calm down, hear me out
00:08:18Go on
00:08:18Let's hear your excuse
00:08:20I owe you your pay
00:08:21No excuses
00:08:22Ethan Cole let you down
00:08:24I know life ain't easy for any of you
00:08:27A paycheck isn't just numbers in a bank account
00:08:29It's your rent
00:08:31Your family's food
00:08:32Your kids' medicine
00:08:34Your parents' bills
00:08:35It's what keeps your family going
00:08:38Cedar Ridge stands because you stood with me
00:08:41You're not just ranch hands
00:08:42You're my people
00:08:43You're family
00:08:45Yes, the ranch account is empty
00:08:47But I swear
00:08:48Every dollar I owe you will reach your hands
00:08:50Even if I have to sell my house
00:08:52My truck
00:08:53My horses
00:08:54Mr. Cole
00:08:55I'll sell everything with Ethan Cole's name on it
00:08:58And I'll pay every damn cent I owe you
00:09:00I'm asking you
00:09:01Trust Ethan Cole one more time
00:09:03Please
00:09:13Ethan Cole, words won't cut it
00:09:15We want our pay now
00:09:16Today, not next month
00:09:18My daughter's meds won't come free
00:09:20Just because you've got on your knee
00:09:22We want our pay
00:09:26Tom, you've been with me almost 20 years, right?
00:09:28I've seen how you work
00:09:29I've seen what you've endured
00:09:31Maria, your husband died young
00:09:33You raised two kids alone
00:09:34But no matter how hard life got
00:09:36You never missed a day at Cedar Ridge
00:09:38Hank, Luke, Ben
00:09:40You never failed Cedar Ridge
00:09:42You never failed me
00:09:43I, Ethan Cole, failed you
00:09:46Just give me one day
00:09:48I'll get you every dollar you earn
00:09:50Not one cent short
00:09:52Ethan keeps his word
00:09:53He never shorted our pay before
00:09:56Every Christmas
00:09:57No matter how the ranch did
00:09:58Our pay envelopes had a bonus
00:10:01Ethan's a good man
00:10:02I trust him
00:10:05I trust him too
00:10:09I trust Mr. Cole
00:10:10I say we give him one more day
00:10:15Thank you
00:10:16Thank you, all of you
00:10:27Mia
00:10:30Sell my house in town
00:10:32My truck, my horses
00:10:33Everything valuable I own
00:10:37Before dark
00:10:38Get their pay to them first
00:10:48Uncle Victor, we couldn't have done it without you
00:10:51Or that old man would have been a tough one to crack
00:10:57I never thought Ethan would trust you three this much
00:11:00He did treat you like his own kids
00:11:04Bullshit
00:11:04I'd rather shovel cow shit than call that old man dad
00:11:08Uncle Victor
00:11:09We've got every dollar Cedar Ridge could move
00:11:11Now it's
00:11:13It's just an empty shell
00:11:14One name, unpaid wages, and a mountain of bills
00:11:16Why keep it
00:11:20That name
00:11:21Is exactly what I want
00:11:29Mercer Foods wants its first premium beef suppliers
00:11:32They're not buying a few cows
00:11:34They're buying a brand
00:11:36Cedar Ridge has the reputation and trust
00:11:39That's what's worth the most
00:11:41Mercer Foods is America's biggest premium meat company
00:11:43Get Mercer Foods
00:11:45And we'll rule western beef
00:11:47Uncle Victor
00:11:48We'll be counting on you from now on
00:11:51Absolutely
00:11:54Do what I say
00:11:55And you'll never run out of money
00:11:59I'm getting old
00:12:01And Hale Ranch still has no real heir
00:12:03I'm cutting Ethan off for good
00:12:12Dad
00:12:22Dad
00:12:23Dad
00:12:25Dad
00:12:39My first investor
00:12:42Finally
00:12:43I found you
00:12:55Mom
00:12:56Mom, the doctor told me everything
00:12:58I know what's wrong with my heart
00:13:02But you
00:13:03You look awful
00:13:05What's happened?
00:13:07Did Caleb and the others make trouble again?
00:13:11Mom, I...
00:13:14My boy's getting old too
00:13:15Look at all that gray hair
00:13:17Running a ranch this big
00:13:19You need to take care of yourself
00:13:21You hear me?
00:13:26Ethan, what's wrong?
00:13:28Mom, I'm sorry
00:13:29I can't pay your medical bills
00:13:31I'm useless
00:13:34This old heart has lasted long enough
00:13:38They drain Cedar Ridge accounts
00:13:39I can't pay the ranch hands
00:13:41But you're my mom
00:13:42I'd sell everything I own to save you first
00:13:44But those ranch hands have families too
00:13:46I can't watch them lose their homes or medicine because of me
00:13:51A man's word is a promise
00:13:53Especially on this land
00:13:56Your dad always said a man can lose his cattle
00:13:59His land
00:14:00Even start from nothing
00:14:01But lose your word
00:14:03And you've got nothing left
00:14:07If your dad were here
00:14:08He'd tell you the same
00:14:11And
00:14:12He'd be proud of you
00:14:14Mom!
00:14:17It's okay, son
00:14:19Do what you know is right
00:14:29Mia
00:14:30Mr. Cole
00:14:31Just as you ordered
00:14:32We sold everything we could
00:14:33The house
00:14:34The trucks
00:14:36Everything brought in three million
00:14:38The first paychecks are out
00:14:39But we're still six million short
00:14:42I'll find the rest
00:14:57Mom?
00:14:58There's a million here
00:15:02Your dad and I saved it over the years
00:15:05I can't take this
00:15:06Your dad called this money our rainy day fund
00:15:13Son
00:15:14Today's that rainy day
00:15:19Mom!
00:15:22The first time is the last two minutes, church
00:15:28This is the money for mom's surgery
00:15:37Victor
00:15:38Hale Ranch is huge now
00:15:40He can help me
00:15:46Fuck
00:15:56Mr. Hale
00:15:57Mr. Cole from Cedar Ridge is here to see you
00:16:00Tell him my schedule's packed for three days
00:16:02Unless he takes the fast track
00:16:07The fast track
00:16:09The fast track
00:16:09The fast track
00:16:18Sorry, Ethan
00:16:19Bankers, buyers
00:16:21I'm booked solid today
00:16:22I'm booked solid today
00:16:23I only need ten minutes
00:16:25I'm waiting for you
00:16:27I'm waiting for you
00:16:53Get up, old cowboy!
00:17:00Look at you
00:17:01The whole Montana should see this
00:17:03The great Cedar Ridge owner
00:17:06Ethan Cole
00:17:07So
00:17:08What brings you here today?
00:17:11Victor
00:17:13Can you loan me some money?
00:17:15Of course I can
00:17:17But Ethan
00:17:19This isn't how you beg for money
00:17:20This isn't how you beg for money
00:17:27Get on your knees
00:17:37Victor
00:17:37Victor, we were ranch hands together
00:17:39I treated you like a brother
00:17:40I shared everything I knew with you
00:17:41You don't have to loan me money
00:17:42But why humiliate me like this?
00:17:45Brothers
00:17:46Ethan, did you forget what you did to me?
00:17:48I was trying to build Hale Ranch
00:17:50I was short twenty grand for my first breeding cows
00:17:52I came to you for a loan
00:17:53You kept grilling me
00:17:54You just wanted me to admit it
00:17:56That Victor Hale wasn't as good as you
00:17:57That I only needed you to survive
00:17:59Victor, I never
00:18:00Enough!
00:18:00You did loan me that twenty grand back then
00:18:02So I loaned you the five million
00:18:11Just get on your knees and beg
00:18:22Don't push me this far
00:18:26Don't push me this far
00:18:26Pride or payroll
00:18:27Pick one
00:18:29If I kneel
00:18:30You'll loan me the five million?
00:18:33Five million?
00:18:34That's pocket change to me
00:18:37Fine
00:18:38I'll kneel
00:18:47Is this good enough?
00:18:53Don't rush
00:18:54We have a rule
00:18:58Brand first
00:18:59Money second
00:19:05It's really a paycheck
00:19:09If you haven't been paid yet
00:19:11I'm sorry
00:19:12Mr. Cole is still working on it
00:19:16Mine hasn't come through either
00:19:18But Mr. Cole kept his word
00:19:19Mia told me Cedar Ridge was flat broke
00:19:21Cole sold his house and truck
00:19:23I also heard
00:19:25His mother needs heart surgery
00:19:27He can't even pay for it
00:19:28Folks
00:19:29Ethan's always treated us right
00:19:31Never shorted our pay a dime
00:19:32Even in blizzards he worked himself
00:19:34Never forced us to risk our lives
00:19:37Mr. Cole's a good man
00:19:38I hit him with that horseshoe yesterday
00:19:40Damn me
00:19:41I won't be an ungrateful bastard
00:19:42Mia, I'll take half my pay
00:19:44Give the rest to Margaret surgery
00:19:45Me too
00:19:46Me too
00:19:46Call me again, me too
00:19:47Me too
00:19:50Do it
00:20:07Ethan, I'm 20 grand short
00:20:09If I don't pay today, those breeding cows are gone
00:20:11Ethan, I'm 20 grand short
00:20:11You got the money ready?
00:20:12You have enough hay for a Montana winter
00:20:14Stop asking!
00:20:15A few more minutes and I'll lose everything!
00:20:20Take it
00:20:20Take it
00:20:20Go save those cows
00:20:26Mr. Cole
00:20:28Hale Ranch is almost out of hay
00:20:29The roads are buried in snow
00:20:31Their cattle won't make it through winter without feed
00:20:35Send a load of our feed to Hale Ranch
00:20:36Got it
00:20:38Wait
00:20:42Victor's proud
00:20:43Don't let him know it's from us
00:20:44Tell him Jenkins' feed is clearing out its stock
00:20:50Look at you, me and Cole
00:20:52Cedar Ridge always stood above me
00:20:53But now
00:20:57From now on, when you see me in Montana
00:20:59Keep your head down
00:21:19The money you promised
00:21:20I promised you a chance
00:21:24Now comes the real terms
00:21:37What a nice brand
00:21:38Cedar Ridge's owner is Hale's cattle now
00:21:42What?
00:21:43What are you doing here?
00:21:44Of course they're here, you didn't know?
00:21:46The three kids you raised now serve Hale Ranch
00:21:53You...
00:21:53You're all in this together?
00:21:55Just figuring that out now?
00:21:57We drained your accounts
00:21:59We gutted Cedar Ridge
00:22:00Just like Victor taught us
00:22:01We put a noose around your neck
00:22:03You filthy animals!
00:22:09You still dare to curse us?
00:22:10You really wanna die early
00:22:12Why'd you have to hit him?
00:22:14Ethan, they're young
00:22:15Hot-headed
00:22:15Don't take it personally
00:22:19Relax
00:22:19I keep my promises
00:22:21But you have to meet one condition
00:22:23What condition?
00:22:26Sign Cedar Ridge over to me
00:22:28Never!
00:22:30I gave you an out old man
00:22:31Don't push it
00:22:33Cedar Ridge is my life's work
00:22:34You want it?
00:22:35You'll have to kill me first
00:22:37Aren't those workers your brothers?
00:22:39So now you choose your pride and land over them?
00:22:41You know how many families your choice will destroy?
00:22:43Sign this
00:22:44Hale Dad gives you five million
00:22:45I called you Dad for years
00:22:47What about calling me Dad now?

00:22:49Me too
00:22:51Beg me and I'll add another hundred grand
00:22:52Deal?
00:22:53I'll put up 150
00:23:02Sign it!
00:23:03Beg us!
00:23:04I gave you a home
00:23:05I never wanted repayment
00:23:07But you wanna destroy that home yourselves
00:23:10You're worse than that
00:23:11Old bastard!
00:23:12You wanna die?
00:23:13Get him!
00:23:14Get him!
00:23:15Get him!
00:23:16Get him!
00:23:16Get him!

00:23:23Get him!
00:23:25Get him!
00:23:25Get him!
00:23:25Get him!
00:23:25Mr. Hale, Mercy Foods is here
00:23:28What?
00:23:29Mercer?
00:23:30Stop!
00:23:30Kids, enough!
00:23:34Make the old man sign Cedar Ridge first
00:23:37Once I own Cedar Ridge I get Mercer Foods too
00:23:41Every major buyer in Montana will come to Hale first
00:23:52Sign it!
00:23:55I'm not signing!
00:23:57Last chance
00:23:58Sign it!
00:23:59One of these
00:24:27Mrs. Whitfield, I didn't expect you in person.
00:24:30We're just handling a small problem.
00:24:32Sorry you had to see that.
00:24:34Drag the old man out.
00:24:35Don't make our guests look at him.
00:24:38I owe that man everything.
00:24:40Find him.
00:24:41Stop!
00:24:42What are you...
00:24:43What did you do to Mr. Cole?
00:24:45Miss Whitmorth, there's been a misunderstanding.
00:24:46He's our foster father.
00:24:48He owes his ranchmen weeks of pay.
00:24:50He came here begging for money.
00:24:51When we refused, he turned violent.
00:24:52I offered him money for old times' sake,
00:24:54but the old bastard kept demanding more.
00:24:56He's an entitled old bastard.
00:24:58He got exactly what he deserved.
00:25:00You hit me?
00:25:01Who the hell do you think you are?
00:25:03Who am I?
00:25:05Chief of Staff to Merce's CEO.
00:25:07And he's your father.
00:25:08Is that enough?
00:25:10Fuck!
00:25:12Mrs. Whitmore, they're young and reckless.
00:25:14Please don't hold it against them.
00:25:15Listen carefully, you idiots.
00:25:17If anything happens to Mr. Cole today,
00:25:19you'll never do business in Montana again.
00:25:21He's just some crippled old cowboy.
00:25:23What's so special about him?
00:25:25Exactly.
00:25:25We know what he's worth.
00:25:26He's useless.
00:25:27So what if we kill him?
00:25:29He brought all three of you home.
00:25:32He fed you and paid for school.
00:25:33He even trusted you with his ranch.
00:25:35And this is how you repay him?
00:25:37And you, Mr. Cole was tortured on your ranch.
00:25:40You will answer for it.
00:25:43What are you doing?
00:25:43Let me go!
00:25:44Don't touch me!
00:25:45Miss Whitfield, what the hell is this?
00:25:47Apologize to Mr. Cole.
00:25:51You work for Mercer?
00:25:52So what?
00:25:53You can't storm my ranch and bully us?
00:25:55You're just Mr. Merce's assistant.
00:25:56You don't have the power to make us kneel.
00:25:58Bring Mr. Merce himself.
00:26:00Then we'll talk.
00:26:01Now I get it.
00:26:02You're sleeping with the old cowboy, aren't you?
00:26:04Now you're using Mercer's name to protect him.
00:26:07You just can't keep your mouth shut, can you?
00:26:09Put them on their knees.
00:26:10Make them apologize.
00:26:10You crazy bitch!
00:26:14Mr. Cole!
00:26:16Get him to the hospital!
00:26:17Now!
00:26:19Move!
00:26:21This isn't over.
00:26:22You still owe Mr. Cole.
00:26:25You.
00:26:26You!
00:26:29Bitch!
00:26:30That damn old man!
00:26:31He makes my blood boil!
00:26:33I never knew Ethan had ties to Mercer's chief of staff.
00:26:36The old bastard is sleeping with that psycho.
00:26:38He got lucky.
00:26:40Today.
00:26:40Mrs. Whitmer is protecting him now.
00:26:42That Mercer supplier deal just got much harder.
00:26:44Relax.
00:26:45I'll handle it.
00:26:46Mercer Foods just hired my boyfriend.
00:26:47He runs purchasing for the entire western region.
00:26:50At the negotiating table, that bitch gets no say.
00:26:52Are you serious?
00:26:54Of course.
00:26:54He said Mr. Mercer is coming to Bozoma.
00:26:57He's looking for someone.
00:26:58And holding a press conference.
00:27:00Once we're in with Mercer, she's finished.
00:27:02I'll personally get her fired.
00:27:04Then we'll see how tough she talks.
00:27:07Relax.
00:27:07Soon, she'll be begging us.
00:27:10Good!
00:27:10That's my girl.
00:27:11You don't need to fear Mrs. Whitford anymore.
00:27:13Cedar Ridge will be ours soon enough.
00:27:18Does it hurt?
00:27:20Just flesh wounds, Mom.
00:27:24Miss Whitberg, thank you.
00:27:26Thank you for saving my son.
00:27:29Mrs. Cole, you don't need to thank me.
00:27:31Miss Whitberg, you saved my life today.
00:27:33I won't forget it.
00:27:34I was only following Mr. Mercer's orders.
00:27:37He's the one who wanted to help you.
00:27:53Who is this?
00:27:55Mr. Cole, he arranged everything at Hill Ranch.
00:27:57He's the one you should thank.
00:28:03Mr. Cole, don't get up.
00:28:04You're badly hurt.
00:28:06Please lie back.
00:28:10Sir, we've never met.
00:28:12Why would you do all this for me?
00:28:15Mr. Cole, I'm Noah.
00:28:16We have met a long time ago.
00:28:19I've searched for you for years.
00:28:22Today, I'm here to repay a debt.
00:28:25A debt?
00:28:27Yes.
00:28:32We've really met before?
00:28:35You've helped many people over the years.
00:28:37But you were the only one who helped me.
00:28:39You taught me how to survive.
00:28:43I heard Cedar Ridge is in trouble.
00:28:46Use this to keep it running.
00:28:47No, I can't take your money.
00:28:49Mr. Cole, please take it.
00:28:57$30 million?
00:28:59No, this isn't pocket change.
00:29:01Whatever I did, I can't take this much.
00:29:02Then call it an investment in Cedar Ridge.
00:29:05Give me a stake.
00:29:07An investment?
00:29:09Yes.
00:29:10But I will charge interest.
00:29:12Of course.
00:29:13What's the rate?
00:29:15$1.
00:29:19$1?
00:29:20That's right.
00:29:23$30 million.
00:29:25And you only want $1?
00:29:28$1?
00:29:29In interest?
00:29:30That's right.
00:29:32Just $1.
00:29:42Mr. Cole, do you remember these?
00:30:01You're that boy.
00:30:03You remember me?
00:30:05You were that kid at the auction.
00:30:07You needed $50 for repair tools.
00:30:11Yes.
00:30:13That was me.
00:30:14My God.
00:30:16It really is you.
00:30:17Look at you now.
00:30:19You made it, kid.
00:30:20Without your help, I wouldn't be here today.
00:30:24I never forgot what you taught me.
00:30:26Earn your living with your own hands.
00:30:27And always keep your word.
00:30:35You were my first investor.
00:30:36And you're still our largest shareholder.
00:30:39Kid.
00:30:40I only gave you $50.
00:30:43You earned everything you have today.
00:30:47Mr. Cole, this money isn't free.
00:30:50I need your help with something important.
00:30:51With what?
00:30:53In three days, Mercer will host a summit here.
00:30:56It's for our Western partners.
00:30:57I need your ranching expertise.
00:31:00Evaluate our Western project.
00:31:06Mercer Group?
00:31:07You do business with them, too?
00:31:09Yeah.
00:31:10We've done some business together.
00:31:15There's a talk on Western ranching.
00:31:17I'd like your help.
00:31:18You'll understand once you're there.
00:31:23All right.
00:31:24But this money is a loan.
00:31:26I will pay it back.
00:31:28Cedar Ridge always pays its debts.
00:31:30Good.
00:31:31Then be there in three days.
00:31:35Can the money clear today?
00:31:37I gave my word to the workers and suppliers.
00:31:40Every bill due today gets paid today.
00:31:45Cedar Ridge's account just flagged a large transfer.
00:31:48I'm afraid.
00:31:54Assign a bank officer.
00:31:56Rush it.
00:31:56Understood.
00:31:58Grace, buy into Cedar Ridge through Mercer.
00:32:01Then put in $10 billion under my name.
00:32:05$10 billion?
00:32:06Cedar Ridge hasn't even cleared its debts.
00:32:08As an investment, that money will vanish.
00:32:11Grace, remember this.
00:32:14I don't invest in companies or industries.
00:32:17I invest in people.
00:32:21As long as Ethan Cole runs Cedar Ridge,
00:32:24it will rank among America's most trusted ranches.
00:32:28I understand.
00:32:30One more thing.
00:32:31At the summit, the entire West will know.
00:32:34Ethan Cole is Mercer's largest individual shareholder.
00:32:41What?
00:32:43Mercer's CEO doesn't even know Ethan Cole?
00:32:52Okay.
00:32:53Got it.
00:32:54Thanks, babe.
00:32:58I knew it.
00:33:00He's sleeping with that bitch.
00:33:01Mercer doesn't know that old bastard.
00:33:03Ethan Cole has no ties to Mercer.
00:33:06That lying old snake.
00:33:10But I found out something else.
00:33:14What?
00:33:16Mercer plans to pour millions into Cedar Ridge.
00:33:22The summit is in three days.
00:33:25We take Cedar Ridge before then.
00:33:29We can't wait any longer.
00:33:31Ethan signs over the ranch today.
00:33:34With that and your Mercer VP boyfriend,
00:33:36we can finally get in with Mercer.
00:33:39Find that old bastard now.
00:33:41This time, he'll sign it himself.
00:33:45Wait.
00:33:49Someone else can do our dirty work.
00:34:01Mrs. Cole, you're still recovering.
00:34:03Shouldn't you stay at the hospital?
00:34:05I've lived here most of my life.
00:34:08I'd rather rest in my own bed.
00:34:11Besides, borrowed money must be repaid.
00:34:14We need to save every buller.
00:34:17Mom, don't worry.
00:34:19I'll repay what Noah did for us.
00:34:23Mia, Cedar Ridge is finished.
00:34:25Once we pay your wages, leave.
00:34:27You're young.
00:34:28Don't waste your future here.
00:34:30No, sir.
00:34:31When I left prison, I had nothing.
00:34:33You gave me a job and a home.
00:34:37Cedar Ridge is my family now.
00:34:39I won't leave when you need me.
00:34:44Why put yourself through this?
00:34:48Then, pay what you owe us!
00:34:55Mia, get Mom inside.
00:34:58Now.
00:35:09Jack?
00:35:10Tom?
00:35:11What are you doing here?
00:35:13Ethan, you playing me?
00:35:15Mr. Hale said you've had the money.
00:35:16You just refused to pay us.
00:35:18We've been waiting here like damn fools.
00:35:20That's right.
00:35:20We're all fools.
00:35:21We trusted you two days ago.
00:35:23We gave back half our pay.
00:35:25That money paid for your mother's in surgery.
00:35:27And this is how you repay us?
00:35:29Jack, Tom, I'd never cheat you out of...
00:35:40You want to know where your money went?
00:35:44Ask the man who runs Cedar Ridge's books.
00:35:46I'm Cedar Ridge's CFO.
00:35:48Tom, you know who I am.
00:35:51Of course, Caleb.
00:35:53I finally tracked down the missing money.
00:35:54Ethan wired every dollar into his private account.
00:35:58You hear that?
00:36:00The ranch isn't broke.
00:36:01It's going under.
00:36:02And he's stealing your money before it does.
00:36:06Ethan!
00:36:07Your own kids exposed you!
00:36:10What the hell can you say now?
00:36:15Children.
00:36:17Why are you doing this?
00:36:19Fight!
00:36:20He's going for it!
00:36:21You bastard!
00:36:22You deserve this!
00:36:24I stood by you!
00:36:25You think I'm some damn fool?
00:36:27Frank, listen to me.
00:36:28Victor and those three traitors planned this.
00:36:30They want to steal my ranch.
00:36:32They're using you to do it.
00:36:34You think I still believe your lies?
00:36:36You think I still believe your lies?
00:36:42Dick!
00:36:42Now!
00:36:43Ethan!
00:36:45Ethan!
00:36:46Ethan!
00:36:52There's an easy fix.
00:36:54Sign over Cedar Ridge.
00:36:56I'll pay every wage and every debt today.
00:37:01Ethan.
00:37:03Don't make me do this.
00:37:12Frank, you'll get every cent I owe you
00:37:16But Victor will never take Cedar Ridge
00:37:18You hear that?
00:37:19He's the one keeping you from getting paid
00:37:23Keep waiting and he'll flee with your money
00:37:29Last chance, are you signing or not?
00:37:32Enough!
00:37:33What did he offer you to betray Ethan?
00:37:36That man raised you as his own
00:37:38You haven't heard, old woman?
00:37:39We're done with Ethan
00:37:41Victor Hale is our only father now
00:37:45Why are you doing this to him?
00:37:47He took all three of you in together
00:37:49He refused to let anyone split you up
00:37:51He never made you prove you belonged here
00:37:53That was his choice
00:37:54Move, old woman
00:37:55Caleb, don't you remember?
00:37:58Your first winter here, you ran a fever
00:38:00A blizzard had shut down every snowplow
00:38:02I wrapped you in my coat
00:38:04I carried you through knee-deep snow
00:38:06Two miles, all the way to the clinic
00:38:09I never asked you to
00:38:13You...
00:38:15Ryan, you loved caramel candy as a boy
00:38:18Ethan worried it would rot your teeth
00:38:20You'd sneak into the kitchen and ask me
00:38:22I always hid one piece just for you
00:38:25Have you forgotten all of that?
00:38:28It was just candy
00:38:30This should cover it
00:38:31Mom!
00:38:32Emma, are you abandoning Grandpa too?
00:38:36Every Sunday before church
00:38:38You'd sit right here on these steps
00:38:39You'd ask me to French braid your hair
00:38:42You sat right there
00:38:44You called me the best grandpa ever
00:38:46Did you forget that too?
00:38:48Of course I remember
00:38:50Those ugly braids
00:38:52They may look like trash
00:38:52Mom!
00:38:54Mom!
00:38:57Sign the damn ranch over, old man
00:39:00I'll die before you animals take Cedar Ridge
00:39:04Don't hit my son!
00:39:06Mr. Cole!
00:39:08You're just an assistant
00:39:10Stay out of this
00:39:13Let me go
00:39:14I offered you a job
00:39:15Over and over
00:39:16You turn me down every time
00:39:18Here's your last chance
00:39:19Will you be my secretary?
00:39:20In your dreams
00:39:21Still got that fire
00:39:32I like them feisty
00:39:41Let me go!
00:39:44Mia!
00:39:46You're sick
00:39:47Bastard
00:39:51You're dead, old man
00:39:55Trying to play hero?
00:39:56Fuck you
00:40:00Broken old man wants to fight us?
00:40:02Where's your little lover now?
00:40:04Didn't he swear he'd make us pay?
00:40:06You're pathetic
00:40:08Stop beating my son!
00:40:15Mom!
00:40:18Victor!
00:40:19I'll kill you!
00:40:21laughter
00:40:34You damn cripple!
00:40:47Aren't we going too far?
00:40:49Unless we break him, he'll never cough it up.
00:40:59You don't leave until I'm satisfied.
00:41:07Stop! Please, stop!
00:41:14Nate!
00:41:17Mom!
00:41:18Nia!
00:41:20Stop!
00:41:22Outside! Outside!
00:41:33I should have known your place sooner.
00:41:35You could have saved yourself all this pain.
00:41:43Mr. Cole, don't sign it!
00:41:45Shut up!
00:41:50Don't touch her!
00:41:55Margaret, she needs a hospital. Someone help her!
00:42:02Let him go.
00:42:03I'll sign.
00:42:07Ethan, don't sign it. Your father left you that ranch.
00:42:11She's awake.
00:42:13Shut up!
00:42:16Sign it. Now!
00:42:20I'm sorry, Mom.
00:42:21No!
00:42:27It's done.
00:42:29Now let him go.
00:42:32It's real.
00:42:33Cedar Ridge is ours now!
00:42:37Finally.
00:42:38Congratulations, Mr. Cole.
00:42:43Now we'll finally get paid. Mr. Hale, Cedar Ridge is yours now. Can you settle my bill?
00:42:47And my paycheck?
00:42:48Who the hell do you think you are? My honored guests?
00:42:52I just took over this mess! I've got mountains of debt to sort out! I run Cedar Ridge now! I'm
00:43:00your boss!
00:43:02Want your money? Get back in line and wait.
00:43:05Victor! You played us!
00:43:08Get one thing straight. Cole stole your money.
00:43:13That's right. Making him cough it up is your problem.
00:43:18Fine.
00:43:20I'll settle this right now.
00:43:24You swore you'd pay every cent, so hand over the money you stole.
00:43:29Pay them!
00:43:34Go to hell.
00:43:36He still fights.
00:43:38Well, the old dog still has some bark.
00:43:41You won't hand over the money?
00:43:43Then I'll burn the coal house down.
00:43:45What?
00:43:46He's insane.
00:43:52Stop!
00:43:53Please, stop!
00:43:58You animals!
00:44:00You're all animals!
00:44:07God, he's not gonna do it!
00:44:08No, please!
00:44:11Stop. I'm begging you.
00:44:15Get off me!
00:44:16Hey, hey, yes!
00:44:20Finally, burn it down.
00:44:24From today on, Cedar Ridge answers to one name.
00:44:28Hail!
00:44:29Stop!
00:44:37Stop!
00:44:51Nobody touches Mr. Cole again.
00:44:55This is my land!
00:44:56You got a death wish!
00:45:00Cedar Ridge has one owner, Ethan Cole.
00:45:06Ethan, how do you still have this much money?
00:45:08You thought this ranch was all Mr. Cole had?
00:45:12Mr. Cole, I'm sorry I'm late.
00:45:15No, you came in time, thank you.
00:45:18Now, do you believe Mr. Cole?
00:45:21Look, he had the money all along.
00:45:24Would he pay without us forcing him to sign?
00:45:26Without us, would you be getting paid today?
00:45:28Now you know who to thank!
00:45:30Fine! The money's here, pay him!
00:45:32But get this straight, Cedar Ridge belongs to Hail!
00:45:35Once you're paid, throw this old man out!
00:45:37Go ahead, try touching Mr. Cole.
00:45:45Mrs. Whitward, I promised to pay him within a day.
00:45:51I failed, that's on me.
00:45:53You'll all get paid right now.
00:45:54Jesus, what the hell have we done?
00:45:58For 20 years, he never shorted me once.
00:46:02One day late, and I raised a hammer at him.
00:46:06Men, we should be damn ashamed!
00:46:10Damn it.
00:46:11Mr. Cole.
00:46:15You idiots forget who your boss is now?
00:46:18Shut your damn mouth!
00:46:22My biggest shame was trusting you animals.
00:46:24You son of a bitch!
00:46:27Don't come back tomorrow!
00:46:29And you, without Ethan, you're nothing.
00:46:32What the hell are you doing?
00:46:33I run Cedar Ridge now!
00:46:35We follow Ethan.
00:46:37We always have.
00:46:38Get out of Cedar Ridge.
00:46:39Get out of Cedar Ridge!
00:46:45This is my ranch!
00:46:47How dare you!
00:46:49Get out of Cedar Ridge!
00:46:51Get out of Cedar Ridge!
00:46:52Get out of Cedar Ridge!
00:46:52Get out of Cedar Ridge!
00:46:52Get out of Cedar Ridge!
00:47:05Mr. Cole.
00:47:07I'm so sorry, Ethan.
00:47:09I'll carry this shame for the rest of my life.
00:47:11You were protecting your families.
00:47:17Mr. Cole, will you still attend tomorrow's summit?
00:47:21Of course.
00:47:23You gave Noah my word.
00:47:34Hey, babe!
00:47:35Dad, this is my boyfriend, Derek Hayes.
00:47:38You're Emma's father?
00:47:39The owner of Cedar Ridge?
00:47:40Mr. Hale!
00:47:42We've been waiting for you!
00:47:44Waiting for me?
00:47:45This is Mr. Hale?
00:47:46Mr. Hale!
00:47:47Mr. Hale, it's an honor to meet you!
00:47:52You all know me?
00:47:53Everyone's talking about you.
00:47:54You saved our CEO!
00:47:56Derek, what are you talking about?
00:47:58I told you, Mr. Mercer came here to find his savior.
00:48:01I heard Mercer's pouring millions into Cedar Ridge.
00:48:05Dad's the man Mr. Mercer came for?
00:48:06Mr. Mercer will publicly thank Mr. Hale today, then name him a major Mercer food shareholder!
00:48:14A shareholder?
00:48:16Oh my God, Dad!
00:48:17No one in Montana can look down on us now!
00:48:20Mr. Hale, don't forget your old friends.
00:48:22Not once you're a major Mercer shareholder.
00:48:24Mr. Hale, when did you meet Mr. Mercer?
00:48:27We're riding Mercer straight to the top.
00:48:32Honey, we're going straight to the top.
00:48:37To Mr. Hale!
00:48:40Thank you!
00:48:41Thank you, everyone!
00:48:42Victor, take off that belt buckle.
00:48:45Thank you!
00:48:57Ethan, what are you doing here?
00:48:59Old man, you don't even own a ranch now.
00:49:01You don't belong here.
00:49:02I was invited.
00:49:03Why shouldn't I be here?
00:49:04Mr. Cole is an official guest of Mercer Foods.
00:49:08I knew it.
00:49:10That bitch Grace gave you this.
00:49:11You two must be very close.
00:49:13Watch your mouth.
00:49:15My father, Mr. Hale, is today's guest of honor.
00:49:18He's about to become a major Mercer shareholder.
00:49:19If he says leave, you leave.
00:49:21What gives you the right to tear that up?
00:49:23My boyfriend is a VP at Mercer Foods.
00:49:26He's running this entire summit.
00:49:29Why does this old cowboy have a Mercer invitation?
00:49:31It's just an invitation.
00:49:32That hardly puts him on Mr. Hale's level.
00:49:34This is embarrassing.
00:49:35I'd have left already.
00:49:37I gave my word I'd come.
00:49:38I haven't met him yet.
00:49:39I'm not leaving.
00:49:40Babe, this is my father's big day.
00:49:42Get this old cripple out of here.
00:49:45Ethan, be smart.
00:49:46Walk out on your own.
00:49:47Don't make me throw you into the street.
00:49:50Security, throw him out.
00:49:54Don't touch us.
00:49:55What on earth are you doing?
00:50:01Grace?
00:50:03Who gave you the right to throw him out?
00:50:06Mr. Cole is Mr. Mercer's personal guest of honor.
00:50:12Mr. Mercer invited me?
00:50:15Could it be?
00:50:16Are you kidding?
00:50:17This old cripple?
00:50:18Whatever's going on with this old man is your business.
00:50:21But lying for him here?
00:50:22You think chief of staff makes you untouchable?
00:50:24My dad, Victor Hale, is the guest of honor.
00:50:26This old loser has nothing to do with it.
00:50:28Cedar Ridge isn't yours anymore, Ethan.
00:50:30Still clinging to your old name?
00:50:31Is that why you came to cause trouble?
00:50:32Grace, you clearly haven't heard.
00:50:33Mercer plans to pour 10 billion into Cedar Ridge.
00:50:35This is its owner and Mr. Mercer's savior.
00:50:37You idiot!
00:50:38Mr. Cole is the one!
00:50:39She's the one who shot my father!
00:50:46It's a gunshot wound.
00:50:48Jesus Christ!
00:50:49She shot Mr. Mercer's savior?
00:50:51That's not all.
00:50:52Ethan owed his workers and suppliers.
00:50:54He used Mercer money to pay them off.
00:50:56What?
00:50:57That was Mercer's money?
00:50:58She stole company money for some old man?
00:51:00Come after me.
00:51:01Don't drag Miss Whitlock through the mud.
00:51:03Grace, imagine what Mr. Mercer will do.
00:51:05I don't need to spell it out.
00:51:06That money wasn't-
00:51:07Enough!
00:51:08I'm about to become a major Mercer shareholder.
00:51:10I won't keep scum like her around.
00:51:12Hold them here!
00:51:13Mr. Mercer can deal with them himself!
00:51:17What are you waiting for?
00:51:18Mr. Hale is today's guest of honor.
00:51:20Move!
00:51:23You don't even know who Mr. Mercer wants?
00:51:25Yet you dare speak for him?
00:51:32Still spewing this garbage?
00:51:35You!
00:51:38Chief of staff to the CEO?
00:51:40I don't give a damn.
00:51:41Throw them all out!
00:51:45Sir!
00:51:51What?!
00:51:53Who the hell gave them the nerve?
00:52:00Stop!
00:52:01Mr. Mercer will be here any second.
00:52:03Throw Mr. Cole out and you'll answer for it.
00:52:05Good.
00:52:06I've been waiting for Mr. Mercer too.
00:52:08His chief of staff shot through my hand.
00:52:10All for this old cripple.
00:52:12Let's see what he does to you.
00:52:13Once Mr. Mercer arrives, we'll see who leaves.
00:52:15Don't worry Mr. Hale.
00:52:16They'll be gone before Mr. Mercer walks in.
00:52:18Security!
00:52:19Throw them all out!
00:52:22Mr. Mercer's here.
00:52:26Mr. Mercer!
00:52:28Finally!
00:52:28We've all been waiting for you!
00:52:31Do I know you?
00:52:34Victor Hale!
00:52:35I own Cedar Ridge!
00:52:37I'm the man you've been looking for!
00:52:39You're naming me a major shareholder today, right?
00:52:45That old cripple crashed the summit.
00:52:46Don't worry.
00:52:47I'll have him thrown out.
00:52:52Victor Hale nearly burnt the coal house down.
00:52:54You said you own Cedar Ridge?
00:52:58Yes!
00:52:59You finally recognize me?
00:53:04Dad!
00:53:05Dad!
00:53:11Who the hell gave you permission to touch Mr. Cole?
00:53:18Mr. Mercer, why did you hit me?
00:53:24I'm the man who saved you!
00:53:28What's going on?
00:53:31Is this about what happened at Cedar Ridge?
00:53:34Mr. Merson, Cedar Ridge is facing a debt crisis.
00:53:38You're worried it'll damage Mercer's name.
00:53:40But give Mr. Hale some time.
00:53:42He'll fix it.
00:53:43This western beef project means everything to him.
00:53:46Mr. Mercer always protects the company's name.
00:53:53Mr. Mercer, just give me some time.
00:53:56I'll clean up the Cedar Ridge mess.
00:53:58It won't hurt our partnership.
00:54:00Yes, Mr. Mercer, blame that old cripple.
00:54:03My father had nothing to do with it.
00:54:06Don't worry, Mr. Mercer.
00:54:08I'll throw him out right now.
00:54:11So you're those ungrateful bastards.
00:54:14Mr. Mercer, I'm Victor's daughter.
00:54:16Mr. Mercer, perhaps you need a personal assistant?
00:54:20Get off me.
00:54:26Get out!
00:54:27Get your hands off him!
00:54:37Mr. Mercer, Mr. Mercer, are you all right?
00:54:52You're Mr. Mercer?
00:54:54The CEO of Mercer Group?
00:54:56I never meant to hide it.
00:54:58You surprised me 20 years ago.
00:55:00Today, I wanted to return the favor.
00:55:03Kid, look how far you've come.
00:55:05Ethan Cole knew Noah Merson all along?
00:55:07Who the hell is that old cowboy?
00:55:09They tried to throw out Mr. Merson's saver?
00:55:13I'm sorry, Mr. Cole.
00:55:15Merson failed to treat you with respect.
00:55:16You were humiliated at my own summit.
00:55:19Derek, you ordered Mr. Cole thrown out.
00:55:24Mr. Mercer, I didn't know.
00:55:25I made a mistake.
00:55:26I already told you the truth, Vice President.
00:55:30You're fired.
00:55:33What?
00:55:33Mr. Merson, what did Derek do wrong?
00:55:36Isn't my father the man who saved you?
00:55:38Mr. Merson, your savior owns Cedar Ridge.
00:55:40That's Emma's father, Mr. Hale.
00:55:44Could it be?
00:55:47Finally, remember who your father is?
00:55:50This has to be a joke.
00:55:51It can't be him.
00:55:52That old bastard.
00:55:53Why him?
00:55:54Wait, Emma, this old man isn't your father?
00:55:57Mr. Cole is?
00:55:58Baby, I didn't know this would happen.
00:56:02You fucking ruined me!
00:56:08Mr. Cole, I was blind.
00:56:09I deserve this.
00:56:10I'll do anything if you forgive me.
00:56:14You ran Mercer's Western purchasing
00:56:15and you attacked our most important partner.
00:56:18You're finished here.
00:56:19Get out of my sight.
00:56:23Mr. Merson, give me one more chance!
00:56:25Mr. Merson!
00:56:27Mr. Mercer, you've got the wrong man.
00:56:30I'm the one who saved you!
00:56:32You saved me?
00:56:34Then tell me.
00:56:35What did you do?
00:56:39Come on.
00:56:40That was 20 years ago.
00:56:42How could I remember every detail?
00:56:44You can't even say how you helped me,
00:56:46yet you dare claim you saved me?
00:56:48I own Hale Ranch and Cedar Ridge now!
00:56:51Mr. Mercer, that favor was 20 years ago!
00:56:54You'll choose a cripple with no ranch over me?
00:56:57He's trash like you can't touch Mr. Cole.
00:57:00Throw him out!
00:57:08He's trash like you can't touch me!
00:57:13Today, Ethan Cole becomes Mercer Foods'
00:57:16largest individual shareholder.
00:57:18Ethan Cole?
00:57:20That broken old cowboy owns a huge stake in Mercer?
00:57:23Get your hands off me!
00:57:26Mr. Mercer, maybe Ethan Cole helped you,
00:57:29but do you know what kind of man he is?
00:57:33No one knows him better than we do!
00:57:36He raised all three of us!
00:57:37He controlled us our whole lives!
00:57:40He cursed us.
00:57:41He beat us.
00:57:43In public, he played the perfect father.
00:57:45At home, he was a monster.
00:57:47Why do you think we cut him off?
00:57:48Because we'd had enough!
00:57:51Mr. Cole, are these accusations true?
00:57:53Mr. Mercer, if this is true,
00:57:55will you still move forward with the deal?
00:58:02Sir, the live stream is already everywhere.
00:58:04PR and investor relations are demanding answers.
00:58:07Mr. Cole, did you abuse your adopted children?
00:58:10Why are all three accusing you?
00:58:14It's true, I wasn't a good father.
00:58:19You heard him!
00:58:21He admitted it!
00:58:24Mr. Mercer, did Mr. Cole admit the charges?
00:58:28Will Mercer Foods still work with him?
00:58:31Mr. Mercer, protect your company's name.
00:58:35Choose me instead.
00:58:38Mr. Cole isn't finished.
00:58:40Let him speak.
00:58:4120 years ago, I brought you to Cedar Ridge.
00:58:45I taught you to ride and drive cattle.
00:58:47I taught you to mend fences.
00:58:49I trusted you with the books.
00:58:52I thought teaching you the ranch was enough.
00:58:54I thought that made me a father.
00:58:58Now I know I was wrong.
00:59:00I failed to teach you what matters most.
00:59:02Your word is your bind.
00:59:04Shut up, old man!
00:59:05Keep your cowboy rules to yourself!
00:59:10Anyone can talk big.
00:59:12You say they're lying, Ethan.
00:59:14Who can prove it?
00:59:16I can.
00:59:26I'm Walter Bennett.
00:59:28I've lived next to the Coles for 22 years.
00:59:32Walter?
00:59:32I watched those three kids grow up.
00:59:35They gave Ethan plenty of trouble.
00:59:36But Ethan hitting kids?
00:59:38That's a damn lie.
00:59:39He's the gentlest man I've ever known.
00:59:42You're just his neighbor.
00:59:43Who knows what Ethan paid you?
00:59:44What about me?
00:59:50Susan?
00:59:52I came here today to celebrate you.
00:59:55I never expected them to smear you like this.
01:00:00I'm a child welfare caseworker.
01:00:02I placed all three at Cedar Ridge.
01:00:04Before that, every placement had failed.
01:00:08Few families would take three kids together.
01:00:12But Ethan said they've already lost one home.
01:00:16I won't let them lose each other.
01:00:18I visited the Cole home every year.
01:00:20I kept visiting until you turned 18.
01:00:22Each time I spoke to you alone.
01:00:24Are you safe here?
01:00:25Do you want to leave?
01:00:27Not one of you ever said yes.
01:00:29Every visit is on record.
01:00:30I'm legally accountable for every word.
01:00:32They're disgusting.
01:00:34They framed the man who raised them.
01:00:35They're shameless.
01:00:37It was all an act.
01:00:39Ethan Cole conspired with grace.
01:00:41They stole Mercer funds to cover ranch payroll.
01:00:44That's a proven fact.
01:00:45Explain that, Ethan.
01:00:46What?
01:00:46Still needs a woman to bail him out?
01:00:48What a man.
01:00:49Miss Whitmore risked company money for that old man?
01:00:52What could she possibly see in him?
01:00:53So much for his honor.
01:00:54He wrote her coattail straight to the top.
01:00:56Victor, enough.
01:00:58Now you're dragging a woman's name through the mud.
01:01:01Is that all you've got left?
01:01:04Then tell everyone where the fuck did her money come from?
01:01:08It came from me.
01:01:09I lent money to the man who saved me.
01:01:12What's wrong with that?
01:01:15That money didn't come from Mercer Foods.
01:01:17I personally lent it to Mr. Cole.
01:01:19Mr. Mercer, this old cripple has nothing.
01:01:22And you still lent him money?
01:01:23He can't even pay the interest.
01:01:25Sorry to disappoint you, Victor.
01:01:27Noah only charged me one dollar in interest.
01:01:30Did I hear that right?
01:01:31One dollar?
01:01:32Why?
01:01:32You lent him all that for one dollar?
01:01:34What the hell did he do for you?
01:01:36He gave me fifty dollars.
01:01:39Twenty years ago, I couldn't afford used tack.
01:01:42Mr. Cole gave me fifty dollars.
01:01:43It wasn't charity.
01:01:44He called it an investment.
01:01:46For the first time, someone saw my worth.
01:01:49Mercer Foods didn't begin when it was founded.
01:01:51It began when someone believed in Noah Mercer.
01:01:53Mr. Cole gave me fifty dollars and a chance.
01:01:56He gave you a home.
01:01:57He gave you twenty years to grow up.
01:01:59I honored his faith in me.
01:02:00You dragged his through the dirt.
01:02:06Look.
01:02:10They're not the victims.
01:02:12They're the abusers.
01:02:13Those three are an absolute disgrace.
01:02:16You beat your father over a ranch?
01:02:18You're trash!
01:02:19And you?
01:02:19You tried to rape that girl?
01:02:21You're an animal!
01:02:21Disgusting!
01:02:22That's shameful!
01:02:27Perfect timing.
01:02:28The Cedar Ridge transfer investigation is complete.
01:02:31The transfers were illegal.
01:02:32The Galliman County Sheriff has the evidence.
01:02:34Good.
01:02:35I'll hire the best lawyers money can buy.
01:02:38You will pay.
01:02:44Mr. Merson, I was wrong.
01:02:47Please, give me one more chance.
01:02:48Mr. Merson, this wasn't our fault.
01:02:50Victor did this.
01:02:51He planned everything.
01:02:52Yes!
01:02:52The transfers, stealing Cedar Ridge.
01:02:54It was all his idea!
01:02:56You fucking idiots.
01:02:59You've got it wrong.
01:03:00Then is the man you hurt.
01:03:01Forgiving you is his call.
01:03:03Dad, I was wrong.
01:03:05Please forgive me this once.
01:03:08Dad, beat the hell out of me.
01:03:09I'll never pull this shit again.
01:03:11I swear.
01:03:16Worthless animals.
01:03:17You're no sons of mine!
01:03:18Dad, Victor played us.
01:03:19You forgave those ranch hands.
01:03:21Why can't you forgive us?
01:03:22We're your family!
01:03:25Family?
01:03:25You forced me to sign that transfer.
01:03:28You didn't remember we were family then.
01:03:30You tried to burn down our family home.
01:03:35You didn't remember we were family then.
01:03:37Now you remember we're family!
01:03:43Dad, I was wrong.
01:03:45I was so wrong.
01:03:46We were wrong, Dad!
01:03:47Family won't shield you anymore.
01:03:49You did this.
01:03:52To yourselves.
01:03:53Now face the consequences.
01:03:55This is all your fault!
01:03:57You said Cedar Ridge would get us into Mercer!
01:03:59You turned Mr. Mercer against us!
01:04:01You idiot!
01:04:02You ruined us all!
01:04:02I ruined you?
01:04:03If you could take Cedar Ridge yourselves, why did you need me to play daddy?
01:04:08You're all worthless.
01:04:09You should have known Ethan saved Mr. Mercer.
01:04:12Then you wouldn't be finished.
01:04:14Fuck you!
01:04:16You little bastard!
01:04:18You dare hit me?
01:04:23Cedar Ridge would have been ours!
01:04:25Mercer would have made us rich for life!
01:04:27None of this would have happened without you!
01:04:32You ruined us!
01:04:33We should be living on a private yacht, not rotting in prison!
01:04:38I'm not going to prison!
01:04:40You old bastard!
01:04:42You destroyed my life!
01:04:49Security, take them down!
01:04:58Play with fire, you get burned, Victor.
01:05:06Thank you, Nolan.
01:05:07I thought I'd never ride again.
01:05:09Cedar Ridge is yours again.
01:05:13Welcome home, boss.
01:05:17Fix the north pasture fence first.
01:05:19Clear the loading pose by two.
01:05:21Tom, take two men.
01:05:22Check the water lines.
01:05:22Got it.
01:05:26Mr. Cole!
01:05:29This is yours.
01:05:31A ranch boss's buckle?
01:05:33Why?
01:05:34Starting today, you run Cedar Ridge.
01:05:36Mr. Cole, I...
01:05:37You earned it.
01:05:38About damn time.
01:05:47Ethan, thank you.
01:05:48Ethan, thank you.
01:05:48I won't let you down.
01:05:49All right, everyone.
01:05:51Back to work.
01:05:52All right, everyone.
01:05:54Back to work.
01:05:55Got you on Sol上.
01:05:58Be Sicily for Than Hell.
01:05:58For your own car.
01:05:59Bye.
