01x06 - Power Moves and Paying Dues

Post by bunniefuu »

[music playing]

- Right now, we're
$50 million in debt.

Galyna has been working
on a potential capital

investment of $105 million.

And frankly, we need it.

It's a game changer deal for
our family, for the farm.

- You better be nice to Galyna,
because we need her for this.

- I want to be single.

I do not want to be in a
committed relationship.

- Why are you telling all
your kids not to get married?

I've been with him


and you're telling your son
not to get married to me.

Like, what the f*ck?

- Did you know that
Calah is moving here

for the entire month of July?

- Before every three days, you
guys were, like, on a mission

to k*ll each other.

- So my biggest fear
for Steven with Calah

is that she controls him
like nothing I've ever seen.

- Steven will send
me 10 grand and--

- Be like--

- OK.

- 20 grand.

- Say apple doesn't
fall far from the tree.

So is this going to be
like father, like son?

- No.

I ain't as dumb as them.

- I think I'm ready.

What about you?

- I would call you my boyfriend.

[theme music]

- There we go.

- Do they actually know
how to play soccer?

- Yeah, yeah.

Cole's actually really good.

- There you go, big fella.

- And Jesse's doing it now.

He just goes slow and steady.

- Yeah.

- Good job, honey!

- It's a warm-up.

- Horse soccer is a big ball
and you set up two cones

and you play soccer
with your horses.

But you got to let
the horses kick it.

I'm definitely the best out of
all the McBees at horse soccer,

I can tell you that.

We didn't come out
here to mess around.

- All right, so we have
the team the Real Cowboys.

Steve, Tessa, Thad, and Cole.

And then the Renegades.

Steven, Mandi, Jesse, and David.

- Say when.

- When!

- Wait, what?

- Easy, girl.

Easy, girl.

[laughing]

- There you go.

Keep it going.

Take it, take it, Cole.

- Missed it.

- Jesse, get open for a pass!

- I'm trying.

That's what you-- what
do you think I'm doing?

I'm open.

- Go for it.

- Honestly, I'm not a very
aggressive person in general.

- Oh, there you go.

Get up there, Thad.

Get it over here,
get it over here.

Pass!

- But my dad just, like in life
and business and everything,

he is aggressive.

- Come on!

Come on, come on!

Come on!

- So he'll go full head of steam
into a pile of horses or right

into anybody and
not give a sh*t.

[clamoring]

- Oh!

[cheering]

- Dang it.

[dings]

- We have one for Real Cowboys.

- You see me?

I ran right where
the ball was going.

- Yeah, babe.

That was hot.

- Knocked it right in.

Good job, buddy.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Come on, come on, come
on, come on, come on.

You all right, Tessa?

- Whoa, whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Tessa's horse is
freaking out a bit.

- I lost my hat!

- That horse is--

- Holy sh*t.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Oh.

- Oh, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold on.

Hold on.

[gasping]

- Steve, I'm hurt.

- Let's get her.

- Oh, yeah.
- Whoa.

Whoa, whoa.

- It just got me with its heel.

- Oh my god.

- That's why I don't ride
other people's horses.

Man, crazy.

- Oh my f*cking--

- I see it going all
the way down her head.

- Yep.

- I didn't even see
her fall off it.

- How bad is it gashed?

- Not too bad.

- Good.

We'll just put some
butterfly on it, tape it up.

It's fine.

- We're gonna go check on Tessa.

- Just a head wound.

[laughs]

He didn't mean to.

He don't know me.

- Yeah, that's why.

- When you've been riding
horses for a lot of years,

you never get on anybody
else's horse, because they--

he's never met me.

Pull it real tight
so it's not gapped.

And I don't care
how many you use.

If that's the worst thing
ever happens in my life,

I'm doing pretty good.
- That's right.

- Here in the country,
when you get hurt,

you just kind of pull
yourself up by the bootstraps.

That's what we say out here.

[laughs]

- I think she looks cool.

- She looks like a
badass with the blood.

- Listen.

Farming is not for
the weak people--

[laughs]

--I would say.

And you can't be a sissy
is what I want to say.

- How bad is it, Tess?

- I'm glad it was up here
and not in this vicinity.

[laughs]
- That's pretty rough.

I ain't gonna lie.

- I'm gonna to tell
everybody that Galyna

punched me in the face.

[nineoneone, "never go back"]

[SINGING] I think I found
love on a Friday night.

I never caught her name,
but I remember her eyes.

Fell so hard from
a kiss so soft.

I though I was strong.

Now I know I'm not.

I can never go back.

- Hello.

- All right.

- We need to get
some energy out.

- Yeah.
We need to go run.

- You want to take
him down the driveway?

- Should we?

- Yeah.

[chuckles]

It's a nice night, isn't it?

- It is so nice.

- I know.

- Rocco!

[whistles]

Living at the farm
full time isn't

really something that I've
seen myself doing in the past.

But I'm kind of
warming up to the idea.

- What's up, Bud?

What's up, Buddy?

- We're at a place
where I'm so much

closer with his
family and friends

that I wouldn't
feel so isolated.

- I'm so glad to have you back.

- Are you?
- Yeah.

- Did you miss me?
- I did.

- Please tell me
I'm your favorite.

- You are.

[laughs]

Cheers to a girls' night.

- Yes.

Things have changed.

I've changed.

I am ready to be here if
he wants me to be here.

[chuckles]

- I don't know if we're gonna
bring that in the house, Bud.

- Does that still
have fur on it?

- Yeah.
- Ew.

- It's good.
It's fine.

- Where did it come from?

- It was one that we found dead.

Sicko.

- Ew.

That is so disgusting.

- Dummy.

You want to eat on
the front porch?

It's such a nice night.

- Thank you.

This looks so good.

- This is like every
redneck's romantic dream--

eating dinner on
the front porch.

- Is it?

[phone ringing]

What up?

What are you doing?

- We just had our little date.

- Oh.

What up, Kacie?

- What up?

- Yeah, what are you guys doing?

- Calah and I are
sitting on bow targets,

looking out over the view.

- Hey, tell Calah the news.

- What news?

- Yeah.

- Cole and I are official.

- Right, really?

- 37th time is the charm.

- 39th time.

[chuckles]

Are you guys official?

- All right, I think
we're gonna get--

- OK, bye.

- There's a deer.

Calah and I have had a
lot of ups and downs.

But things are good right now.

I'm not one to make an
emotional rash decision based

off of a month of doing good.

I'm not going to comment on
anyone else's relationship.

- Yeah.

You really shouldn't.

What?

- I'm so happy you're up here.

We're gonna have a good week.

GVO this week.

- OK.

- Good vibes only.

- Good vibes only, Steven.

- Absolutely.

[music playing]

- You want some eggs.

I'm gonna make some
eggs and chicken.

- Yeah, I was actually--
like, I got some spinach.

- Oh, cool.

- Did Judge Murphy tell you that
my house has finally got sold?

- Oh, yeah.

It was already under
contract with them,

but they got the contract--

- Yeah, now there is,
like, a closing date.

So I'm kind of excited about it.

So my house is about an hour
and a half away from the farm.

So it made perfect sense to
put the house up for sale.

- Well, that's a good deal.

- Yeah.

- That thing really
went up in value.

- Oh, big time.

While all that was happening, we
had seven locations opening up,

one after another.

My housing situation
was the last thing

I was thinking about.

And I didn't really
have a plan in place,

just because I was so busy
with all the other things.

So here we are today, I
sold the house with no plan.

I have no idea.

I just need to kind of
figure out the next steps.

- Mm-hmm.

- I have to just kind of, like,
brainstorm on where to get--

put everything and pack and--

- Yeah, probably a storage.

- Yeah.

So do you think I should
look for some kind of rental

in Liberty?

- Oh, yeah.

If you-- I mean, close
to the office, for sure.

- Yeah.

- Galyna is thought out,
calculated, methodical.

I know she wants to keep tabs
on me every single night.

- Obviously, we'll need
some time to get situated.

Is that all right
if I will stay,

like, here for a little bit?

- Hmm.

Took got a big bite.

Give me a minute.

[chuckles]

- I let Steve think that
he has an upper hand.

But ultimately, I
know what I'm doing.

So.

- No, I mean, it is what it is.

I mean, we'll figure it out.

- I'm excited to
hang out at the farm.

[chuckles]

I don't care what you think.

[chuckles]

[TOM THUMB, "THIS CROP BETTER
NOT FAIL"]

[SINGING] Our little
crop better not fail.

This crop better not fail.

Mama gonna k*ll
you, put me in jail.

This crop better not fail.

[buffalo bellowing]

[chuckles]

- Breeding action.

- They're all gonna be
having babies in September.

- What?

- You should have seen--

- How long are
they pregnant for?

- You know, that's
a good question.

I feel like it's
probably like a cow--

nine months, I don't know.

- Nine months?
- Yeah.

- How much do the babies
weigh when they come out?

- I know more about
cows than buffalo.

- Well, how much
does a cow come out?

- 60, 70 pounds.

It kind of depends on what--

Every farming
operation is different.

- I want to have a
cow calf operation

and have a lot of babies.

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, you like babies.

I'm not really the
best at relationships

or the best at love stuff.

But I know that when
I'm around Kacie,

she makes me really happy.

I don't know.

I guess I just get this
weird feeling inside.

I guess that's love I
don't know what it is.

I don't really know
how to explain it.

I think things have
been going well.

- Me too.

- There hasn't been
near as many problems

as, like, back in
the past I feel like.

Like, we definitely both have
grown up and matured a lot.

So.

- I just hope things keep
going the way they are going.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah, like I tell
everyone, even though we've

had our problems in the
past, and we'll probably

have future problems,
at the end of the day,

like, whenever it's
just me and you,

and we're just
laying in your bed,

I've never loved
anyone more ever.

And I think you
feel the same way.

And that's what always
brings us back to each other.

Like, we're literally
each other's best friends.

- And you're hot.

That helps, too.

So.

[laughs]

Maybe it's sometime here soon,
where things keep going good,

and we can move in
together officially.

- Yeah.

- Kacie is definitely the
only girl I would marry.

I do feel more
confident right now

that things are gonna work out.

We seem both a lot
more mature and a lot

more ready to settle down.

But I think I need to get
my life and my career.

I know-- obviously, I know
I'm gonna be a farmer.

But I think I just
need to set my life up

a little more before I
actually commit to marriage

or commit to
something like that.

I think things are going good.
- Mm-hmm.

- As long as we keep
it up, I think we'll

be doing good for a while.

- Yeah.
You're sweaty.

- Yeah, you're a
little sweaty too.

Kiss better than a hug.

[romantic country music]

[SINGING] I'll be
in no rush, no.

So we can wait it
out We can wait out.

- What's happening?

- What's up?

I brought some boxes.

Can you help me?

- Yeah.

- Thought that maybe we can
put them downstairs for now?

[groans]

[laughs]

I like low tires.

- You did bring some boxes.

- Yeah,

- Cool.

- Oh, this is the bedding.

So I can take that.

I never get attached
to a physical property.

Like, we moved so
many times growing up.

I've changed so many
societies, so many jobs.

We definitely were very
focused on the Communist Party.

Everything was driven around,
and just all of the rules

and how we act
and how we behave.

And it was definitely very
challenging for a young mind

to grow up into.

So I think this
has kind of stayed

with me through my entire life.

And I'm constantly on some
kind of journey to having

a better opportunity in life.

- This box is just kind of--

- I think it's just clothing.

- Where does that one go?

- This one's gonna
go downstairs.

- Well.

It's gonna go this way, then.

- When I went to
the United States,

I came on a fiancee visa.

So I had only 90 days to
make a decision whether we

want to marry or not.

I was very young.

It was not his first marriage.

It was his second marriage.

There was a stereotype that the
woman belongs in the kitchen

or belongs with the kids.

And that is
definitely not for me.

I was married for 10 years
before filing for divorce.

We just kind of grew apart
because I was very young when

I moved to the US,
and my views on life

and my desires and things
were changing rapidly.

It is a fear of mine that I
will not have a place to go.

But this is the
right timing for me

to put stuff in his basement.

Do I have any other
choices right now?

It's a massive step.

It's a much bigger step
for him than it is for me,

and I see it.

- Good or no?
- I'm good.

I was just holding the bottom.

I think just drop it here.

Thank you.

OK.

- I'll lock this door.

[music playing]

Galyna is absolutely
the key person

on this venture capital deal.

The success or failure of
this deal is in Galyna's hands

right now.

But Galyna uses
the business side

to her advantage to trap
me or to manipulate--

whatever term you want to
use in there, to control me.

- You went out with her.

- Yeah, I've been out with her.

- I'm not putting up with that.

It's her or I. There
is no other way.

It's her or I.

- Nothing ever has
to be repeated.

I mean, I understood
the first time.

I didn't ask her to move in
and live with me full time.

I don't even know.

- Thank you for letting me
store some of my stuff here.

- You're welcome.

That's just-- I don't
ever use that storage.

I will never go
down there again.

I never look at it.

I never see it.

That's your area.

- Yes.

- But we'll just--
right now it's just

seeing what's happening
and grow the business.

- I agree.

- What a fun thing to
build it together, too.

I mean--
- You think?

- Even as just best friends--

I mean, I'm not saying that.

But you've got to
be friends first.

- Yes.

[music playing]

- Come on, Bud.

- Sitka.

- Sitka.

He's defending his turf.

He wouldn't do anything.

Sitka's literally
all bark and no bite.

- What up?

- You all hungry?

- I'm starving.

- I'm starving.

- Let's go warm it up.

Nice flops, man.

- Cool.

You did not wear that.

[laughter]

- Socks with the flops.

This has always been
a part of my life,

is double dating
with my brothers.

- Wow.

This is decent.

- Yeah.

- We always eat dinner together.

We're always hanging
out together.

It'd be weird to eat dinner by
myself if they weren't around.

- Why do you have
so much mustard?

- I keep forgetting
that I have mustard,

and so I keep buying more.

- He buys mustard and
pickles every single time

we go to the store.

- What the heck?

- Which is, like, once a day.

- OK, let's go out there.

- OK.

- Here, Sitka.

- Ah.

I felt like a food truck
would pop off here.

- Nothing pops off here.

[chuckles]

- What's up?

- Your hand-me-downs
is going down.

- Oh my.

- I think he's dying.

- You still haven't figured
out how to start that?

- I think we should
put it into retirement.

- No--

- Let's just put her down.

- You got to make sure there's
no pressure in the t*nk,

so it'll--

otherwise, it'll give back
compression on that piston,

and it's real hard to start.

Anyways, what's up with you?

- Well, listen.

- Are those work boots?

- Yeah, these are my work boots.

[laughs]

- I see that.

- I took off my cowboy
kickers because I

had to go to the house.

I had grease all over me.

I had diesel on me.

And I had to run home and--

- I see.

- --and then spruce up.

I'm just one of the guys.

You've heard me say
that a million times.

- I can't remember a
time without Tessa.

When Tessa first
started working for me,

she would cook,
clean, sing, dance.

I guess the best way to describe
her is like a mother hen.

So yeah, Tessa and
I are very close.

- I always smell like a man.

- I know.

That's-- it makes me wonder.

[laughs]

- What's Jesse and
Alli been up to today?

- Actually, Jesse was
getting a pedicure

when I walked in by Alli.

- That's cute.

- Why don't you do that for me?

- I give you facials.

- I give you facials.

- No, actually,
you really don't.

[laughs]

- Wow.

You told Dad that
Calah was staying.

- Boy did I just get some news.

- What happened?

- I don't know.

You tell us.

Is there anything coming
up here in the next month?

Moving in with anybody
or moving up from Texas.

You weren't gonna tell anybody?

- God damn it.

- Who cares?

- Exactly.

I think he--

- So what did he say?

- I'll let him get in his
own train wrecks or something

like that.

[mock laughter]

- Meanwhile he's
freaking causing

train wrecks left and right.

- I know that my dad
wants what's best for me.

But also, my dad doesn't
want to lose us as boys,

and he doesn't want to lose our
time that we spend together.

And so if someone's gonna
get in the way of that,

he's gonna have a problem.

- That's so annoying.

- So I can't figure out who's
the bigger train wreck--

Steven and Calah
or Cole and Kacie.

I mean--

- That's a toss up.

[laughs]

- Calah falls in that
same category with Kacie.

They neither one really
do anything-- nothing.

There's jobs everywhere
in America right now.

You could go get work
anywhere you want.

But she hasn't
worked in five years.

She does nothing.

And I ain't saying
that to be like that.

- I know exactly what you mean.

- From a financial perspective,
they really need them.

I don't think Calah has the
fire or desire for Steven.

She does not have
that passion for him.

I think it's just about having
somebody there to take care

of her when she needs help.

You know, Calah's here today.

I see her, of course.

I'm like nice to her out
of respect for Steven.

- What if it does work out?

- Oh, I'm concerned with--

- And how that's gonna
affect the boys when

they go into business together?

- And Steven is so--

he's almost too sweet.

It absolutely gives me
reservations and grave concern

of putting Steven in
charge of a business when

I see how he is with Calah.

If I try to call you at


she don't let you
take a phone call.

You can't be a business
owner and not take f*cking

phone calls in the evening.

I would almost be putting Calah
in charge of the business.

- You know, it's
their life and they

have to make the decisions.

You hope you've raised
them smart enough

that they can see the red flags
and the writing on the wall.

And let's admit it.

It's their life.

- We came up with a theory.

We think that your
dad doesn't want

you guys to be,
like, boo'd up and he

wants you guys to stay single.

- So he can always just
have you guys around.

- So he always has you guys.

And I truly just don't
care at this point.

Like, if he doesn't impose
on our relationship,

then that's fine.

But the minute that he
starts talking in your ear

and trying to get in the
middle, and that's like we

all have a problem.

- I feel the same way.

[music playing]

[JIM WOLFE, "YOUR FAVORITE
SONG"]

[SINGING] I go out every
night and play another bar--

- This way?

- No.

- This way?

OK?

[SINGING] --strings
on this old guitar.

- So now you're going to add
some of those little fat tails.

- Oh yeah.

[SINGING] Oh, we're gonna
play your favorite song.

- Dude, chill.

I'm tired of these balloons.
I don't like balloons.

- Here, I got you some.
- I'm not a balloon guy.

- After she gets out here, I
invited her dad and brother.

I know her dad can make it.

I'm hoping her brother can, and
I'm gonna be like, hey, Tess,

would you sing us a song or two?

Which she'll be like, oh, yeah.

But I'm gonna be like, hey,
but I got a couple people

that want to play with you.

- Tessa is quite literally
a second mom to me.

I've known her basically
my entire life.

I think she came to this farm
when I was 10 or 11 years old.

And there's nothing in this
world that means more to her

than her family, and especially
performing with her family.

So we've got a special surprise
set up for her birthday.

[SINGING] We're
gonna lay it down--

- Oh, wow.

The birthday girl is here.

- Hey, guys.

[clapping]

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

- Aww.

- Good evening.

- Hey, guys.

- Happy birthday.

- Oh, there's my baby girl.

Hi!

How are you?

I'm so glad you came to see me.

- Tessa loves to sing.

She loves to be with her family.

She loves playing music
with her mom and dad.

That's one of her
favorite things.

She always talks about it.

She just does so
much for everybody

that it feels good to
celebrate her for a night.

- Hi, sweetie.
- Happy birthday.

- Thank you.
- Hot dogs.

All right, who wants hot dogs?

[barking]

- You're gonna have to
sing for us tonight.

- Are you gonna play?
Did you bring your guitar.

- I don't think I'm gonna play.

But I do know someone that
did bring their guitar.

- Who?

- Turn around.

- Surprise!

- Oh!

How are you doing?

[laughs]

- Happy birthday.

- Hi, Daddy

- Didn't answer
you today, did I?

- I have a pretty amazing
family that I work for.

And listen, yes, boss
has got his flaws.

Listen, we all do.

But you know what?

I mean, he does
have a good heart.

They said that
your daddy called.

- Yeah, he did.

- That was so sweet.

- He did.

[laughs]

[indistinct conversation]

- How are things going
with you and Galyna?

- Sold her house.

I stored the stuff
in my basement.

I mean, I don't mind storing.

I don't know what's
gonna happen.

I just-- it is what it
is, you know what I mean?

- Yeah.

I think she's looking over here.

- I know.

- I'm trying not to look over.

- Huh?

- What?

- Galyna is always
paying attention

to anyone talking to
my dad, anyone talking

about Galyna and my dad.

- I'm going to f*cking
get a tow truck.

And I'm gonna drop
this f*cking Escalade

on this bitch's front porch.

- Any situation involving
my dad, Galyna has,

like, a radar detection
system to see what's going on.

- She'll be over in a second.

What's she talking about?

- Mm-hmm.

For sure.

- Let's walk over there
and watch her eyes.

See if she finds us.

Look, look.

She's still trying
to figure it out.

- I think that any
plan you had of her

moving into her own place
is pretty much gone.

- When she moved in
there, she's like, well,

you can't throw me out now.

[laughs]

I have told Galyna
many, many times,

to the point of exhaustion,
I don't want to be

in a one-on-one relationship.

I don't want to
live with anybody.

It's such an odd situation
because no other person

I know in the world, after
saying what I've said,

would stay there.

- Oh.

What's up, handsomeness.

- Hey, what's happening?

What's up with you?

- Just hanging out.

- How do you guys think
Steven's gonna do as a father?

- Steven doesn't need
to ever have kids.

They won't get a bottle of milk.

They'll get a bottle
of protein shakes.

- No.

- Yeah.

- You're gonna read your book.

You're gonna read


You got to read your hour.

You do every day.

You have to get up at 4:00.

You have to work out.

- These kids will
wake up at 4:00.

- Oh, man, it'll be insane.

They're gonna have the
same haircut for 15 years.

It'll be like a drill
sergeant, like, at their house.

They'll be up-- like,
don't have to wake

up and be ready at 4:30, staying
at the front of the house,

ready to go.
- Sir, yes, sir.

[laughter]

So I was talking to dad.

And he said Galyna
has no intentions

of finding her own place.

Even with the new house.

So her moving her stuff into
the basement of that house

was 100% intentional.

- Well.

- Well.

- Your dad could just
break up with her.

And then she cannot live there.

It's literally that simple.

So I don't feel
bad for your dad.

- I don't feel bad
for him at all either.

- Steve always complains about
his and Galyna's relationship.

But the most simple fix to
that is just ending things.

I think Steve actually
wants to be with Galyna,

and he is too scared to
admit it for whatever reason.

- I'm not the one to be
giving relationship advice.

I'm not the one to really
talk about relationships.

Don't laugh.
Neither are you.

- I'm not laughing--

- No talking.
- Neither are you.

- He was getting set
up to, like, listen.

- Yeah.

You can say something,
but he can't.

- Oh.
- Cool.

Continue.

[clears throat]

- But that is the most
immature, dumb relationship

I've ever seen in my life.

[music playing]

- Man.

- I'm just brainstorming of ways
to make your evening better.

[laughs]

My main priority in life--

how to make Steven's
life better.

- Hey, let's sing
a bit of that song

that I wrote for Uncle John.

Remember, we learned
it the other day?

[guitar playing]

[SINGING] The w*r for
him was never over.

It raged on in his head?

He battled day and night.

At times, wished himself dead.

He laid down his life.

Though he made it home alive.

I've got the sheer
pleasure and honor

of watching the boys grow up.

I'll admit, I'm very
protective of boss the boys.

They're, like, my family.

I've been with them a long time.

They're kind.

They have the sweetest
little hearts.

And they're just like my boys.

Boys, remember that.

[clapping]

- That was lovely.

- Woo!

[clapping]

[indistinct conversation]

- Grab Tess.

I'll grab the gift.

- Come, beautiful lady.

- Thank you.

- OK, we're going.

- Tessa?

We have a surprise for you.

- OK.

- Tessa?

- Oh, you got me-- oh, babies!

- Happy birthday.

- Oh, honey.

- It's from all of us boys,
Galyna, all of us at the farm.

We love you.

- We love you very much.

Appreciate it.

- I feel so spoiled
by you boys tonight.

- All right, Tessa.

- OK.

[clears throat]

- This is a special
birthday gift.

Redeem for your
round-trip travel

and lodging to
chase your recording

dreams in Nashville, Tennessee.

Happy birthday, Tessa Lawler.

- What?

- Oh yeah.

- For real?

- Oh yeah.

[clapping]

We all love you.

And you definitely deserve
this more than anything.

- I love you boys, too.

Can't believe you guys.

Thank you, pretty boy.

- I love you.

- Oh.

Well, now what do we do now?

[laughs]

- We just keep on the
celebration going,

and sing and dance
and have a grand time.

[laughs]

- Major harmony.

- OK, ready?

[guitar playing]

[SINGING] Nights were so lonely.

Days passed by so slow.

Evenings were spent
thinking of times of old.

And then like the Savior,
you came into my life.

How I never thought
I'd love again.

And then there was you.

[clapping]

- Good job!

That's the first time you
guys played that song.

[laughs]

[music playing]

- You think, Jesse, how
many times you pull in,

and you just skip
go over here and fix

these ditches once in a while.

- Jesse McBee?

- Yeah, pull in there every
time, run them ditches over,

and never fix them.

- You and Jacob
been working over

here for like, what, three weeks
straight now, right up there?

- Touche.

- What about our lawn?

- You say your yard needs mowed?

- Yeah.

- They both got mowed today.

- Both.

- Yeah, I had Jake mow one
and Rope mow the other.

What else could
you complain about?

- I just needed the second one.

- You guys need to
fight or something?

Just kind of beefing?

- Well, he's kind
of salty tonight.

I don't really understand.

- You need a path going back.

- I know.

Well, there was one, remember?

But my-- I had to come over
here a couple of weeks ago,

and I drilled in
a bunch of grass.

Make it fill it in.

- Why?

- My dad wanted me to.

Didn't grow to well where
it's compacted right here.

Oh, what are the teams?

- You're gonna have to
be on my team, Honey.

I'm not good.

- Kacie, you want me to have
this side because I'm a lefty?

Or do you throw?
It doesn't matter?

- Straighten our
board out right here.

- Sure.

Anything for you.

- It was facing
the lake over here.

- I mean, it was
completely sideways.

- Is this good?
- Yeah.

- Yeah.

You weren't supposed
to catch it.

- Oh.

- [laughs]

- Oh.

- Oh.

- Dang.

All right, on the board.

- Jesse, if you had to put money
on it, which of your brothers

do you think will
get married first?

[exhales]

- If I'm putting money on it,
I would say Braden and Alli

are the ones who get engaged.

- That's a pretty good bet.

I'd say Kacie and I--
sorry, are doing good.

But I think we got to do
good for a little longer

for that to happen.

- I agree with you.

- But it's going in
the right direction.

- OK so you're on,
like, a really uphill--

- Yeah, we're going up.

- OK.

- We were here,
kind of plateauing.

And now we're--

- Good for you.

- Yeah.

Get in there.

- Honey, come on.

- You haven't scored a point.

I've done everything.
- I think I have.

- What do you mean?

You know you have not
made one yet, right?

- Is that also why you
haven't proposed yet?

You don't think she'd be
a good partner for life?

- Oh.

Aw.

- Nice.

- I'll hear about that
the rest of the night now.

- Pretty sassy tonight.

- Calah told us
something pretty crazy.

- What is that?

I can only imagine.

- Um, I was talking about
how whenever you go on trips,

or like you're trying
to do nice stuff for me,

you'll, Venmo me, like,
a few hundred dollars,

like go shopping and stuff.

- I'm a good guy.

- Huh.

Where's my money at?

- And Calah said that sometimes,
Steven will just randomly

send her $10,000, $20,000.

- What?

- Venmo's her.

Steven will send me 10
grand and be like, Oh.

OK, 20 grand.

- What?

- Y'all better not
f*cking repeat that.

Please don't.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

- I need to tell Jesse,
step up his game.

- Swear.
- $10,000?

- Yep.

- 10?

- 20 grand.

- The hell, Steven.

First off, I'm confused
where that money comes from,

because he's always
saying that he's so broke

and this and that.

Why he would just straight
up give her $20,000 cash

is beyond me.

There's no way.

- This is what she told us.

- You're joking.

- No, I'm not joking.

- It ain't like we have
money growing on trees.

It ain't like we can just
be handing out to everybody,

and especially,
like, just be giving

it away to his girlfriend?

It just doesn't
make sense to me.

I've never lied about
what Dad pays me.

I've never lied about the money.
I've got.

And if there is more money
somewhere that's coming in,

it's going all to Steven.

But then we have a problem now.

I don't know if a $20,000 check
would go through on my account

right now.
- It wouldn't.

I've seen your account.

[chuckles]

[music playing]

- Calah said that sometimes,
Steven will just randomly

send her $10,000, $20,000.

- What?

- There's no way.

- Just what she told us.
- You're joking.

- No.
I'm not joking.

- Can you even send
that much on Venmo?

- Cole's been making
good money lately.

He literally put emergency
money in his nightstand for me.

- Why are all the
guys like that?

- That's what Cole does.

Yeah.

- Steven will send me 20 grand.

- OK.

- You guys dated
the wrong one, man.

- Well, I think Calah's making
more money than you guys

just by being
Steven's girlfriend.

[chuckles]

- 100%.

- I think you guys
deserve a raise.

- We don't see
any of that money.

- No.

I definitely don't.

- I'm broke.

I'm not sure what
she's spending it on

because what would
she spend it on?

- Because I feel like Steven--

- She lives with him.

- --buys her stuff anyway.

- Buys everything.

I'll date Steven and
yell at him for 20k.

- Yeah.

[laughs]

[music playing]

[nature sounds]

- Picking up on things.

- Always talking every
time I come out here.

- We're discussing the best
options for fixing this.

- You even know what you're
looking at right here?

- Exactly what I'm saying.

- Do you know what
you're looking at?

Do you know where Steven's at?

I need to talk to Steven.

I thought about that all
last night, I can't sleep.

- It's still in your head?

- What?

- Jesse and I found out
that Steven is writing

Calah $10,000 and $20,000
checks multiple times just

to give her.

- What?

- Yeah.

Could you imagine, like,
not doing anything--

- But that amount.

- --but just getting a
$20,000 check for just--

- Nothing.

- Just being in a relationship.

- Damn.

- Dad's already worried, saying
that if they ever get married

or sign a prenup for sure.

And then he's over here, just
writing everything to her.

You think he's gonna be
the one that gets the farm?

He'll just give
everything to Calah.

Next thing you know, Calah
will be running this farm.

- This combine these
$20,000 worth--

- Yeah, I was
gonna say, we could

put $20,000 into this combine.

I think there's quite
a few things we could

probably spend 20
grand on around here

to start making us money.

If he's got enough money
in his personal account

to be writing $20,000
checks, that ain't right.

I'm doing it right now.
- I'm ready.

- All right.

- All right, get
this back together.

- We'll walk in with a strut.

I would just remember that
he is our brother, so--

and you know how he gets,
how quick he'll get mad.

- What's up?

- What's going on?

- Not much.

- Hot out there?

- It feels better
than last week.

- Oh, I'll bet.

- Combine's in the shop,
getting close to being done.

- Rolling through everything.

- Yep.

- Sweet.

- We got told something
pretty interesting last night.

- What's that?

- We were playing just
cornhole behind Red

Barn with Alli and Kacie.

And I guess when we were
gone over the weekend,

Calah told them that
you've been writing

$10,000 and $20,000 checks
to her, like multiple times.

Is there money coming in
that we aren't seeing?

We got told something pretty
interesting last night.

- What's that?

- We were playing just
cornhole behind Red

Barn with Alli and Kacie.

And I guess when we were
going over the weekend,

Calah told them that
you'd been writing $10,000

and $20,000 checks to her.

- Calah said that sometimes,
Steven will just randomly

send her $10,000, $20,000.

- What?

- Is that true?

- I was taking my own money
and giving that to her.

It's not like I pulled
that out of the company.

That's my own salary.

That's my own money I'm
pulling out to give to her.

- I'm not broke, but
I'm not comfortable,

and I work my ass off every day.

I've been trying to
prove that I deserve

a raise as I'm out here,
just giving everything

I've got for this farm.

And then I hear there's
$20,000, $10,000 checks going

down to her for no reason.

It just-- it doesn't
settle well, you know?

- That money is my money.

I'm paid a salary
just like you guys.

I don't know where you're
spending your paycheck, do I?

There's a reason why
I make what I do.

It is an entirely
different level

whenever you're dealing
with multiple banks

calling you nonstop.

We've got loans to pay--
multiple millions of dollars

in loans, on top of the sh*t I
deal with from the government,

which is a whole other story.

- We're still
leaving around 2:00?

- I need to push that back.

- Why?

- We need facility inspections.

It's gonna be a long, long week.

Damn it, replacing a bolt
on a tractor or a planar,

or unplugging a planar
that's clogged up

ain't sh*t when it
comes to figuring out

how we're gonna work
the finances to pay

off a $100,000 loan payment.

- I mean, I can't even
see the financials.

I can't even be talked to about,
like, how I can get a raise

or when.

- Have you ever asked
to see the financials?

Have you ever even
thought about coming

into a financial meeting
whenever we're discussing how

the f*ck we're gonna get loans?
How in the world are we--

- Well, every time I talk to
you, you tell me we're broke

and you have no money.

But yet, I hear you're sending
$20,000 checks down to Calah.

- I just don't see an
opportunity to make

more money in our positions.

I feel there has to
be some middle ground.

- This is not Communist Russia.

This is America, where we're
paid based on our performance

and what we bring to the table.

Their only concern in life--

Cole's is how do I get
this field planted.

Jesse's is how do I
build this car wash.

For me, I'm trying to
run the global business.

So there's no doubt
about it this company

would not run without me.

- I don't know what to say.

Can't keep going on like this.

- I can tell you right now.

Until you start dealing with
bigger responsibilities,

until you're out here
actually putting in the work

to work on the business,
not just in the business,

that salary ain't gonna come.

- You think the office work
is just so important compared

to what we do in the field?

And it's just-- like, you give
us no-- you give me no respect

or Jesse no respect for
what we do in the field,

because you just
think you're doing

so much more important stuff?

If I had the time, I would
come in here and try to.

But I mean, we--

I have to be in the field.

I've got to be out
there doing these things

and getting these things done.

- Well.

There is no more
money to go around.

I don't know what
to tell you guys.

It's not like there's
some hidden pot of money

that I'm holding
back from you all.

Until Dad makes the
decision and tells you

that you're the one in
charge, running the finances

and running the farm,
things aren't gonna change.

[exhales]

- I haven't heard Dad say
that you were taking it over.

I mean, I know if I
had this position,

if I was running everything
and I was in control

of the finances, I would not be
handing money to a girlfriend

like that whenever we need it.

- If your dad was to have
you take over the farm,

do you think you
could handle it?

- No hesitation, that farm?





- Just getting underway--

- You think you'd
be able to do this?

Do you think Dad would trust
you with taking over the farm?

More importantly, that would
be you taking over the farm

while I'm still here.

And that ain't going to
happen over my dead body.

I'm not going anywhere.

- I'm f*cking over it
because nothing ever happens.

Nothing ever f*cking
changes in this farm.

- Why don't you grow
some better crops?

- Oh, I am.

- Maybe have more
money to pass around.

- Look at the crops this year.

Because you've been
sitting in the office,

you haven't been out in
the field looking at them.

[music playing]

[SINGING] I can't
hide my evil ways.

- Pack your bags.

We're going to Nashville.

- This weekend, we're
supposed to be with my family.

- I have to go.

- You just have to
do whatever he says?

- I mean, he is my boss.

- We need to go out there,
even as soon as today.

- No women allowed this weekend.

- You can't cheat
on me if I'm there.

- What's up, ladies?

Come on over
tonight about 12:00.

- It's not that they go.

It's just what they do
while they're there I'm.

- Not used to seeing
you in all them clothes.

- You're not used
to seeing me at all.

- Who is Kylie?

- Hmm.

- That's what pisses me off.

- I'm gonna call him out on
that sh*t all weekend long.

- That dress is perfect on you.

- I don't want to be like Dad.

- We've been
getting blown up all

because of your past decision.

- Tread lightly, young man.

- I'm just saying.

- Don't let alcohol
make you think you

can do something you can't do.

You mess with the
bull, you get the horn.

- Hey!

f*cking knock it off!

We're done!
