This is so weird.

For who?

Surprise!

[CLAY] You have an employee who failed

to report theft of an asset
worth $7 million dollars.

[MONTY] Every company has

You cannot function without one.

You got yourself a new crew yet?

Not yet. I'm looking for one.

You just wrestled them.

[REBECCA]
I need to see the crash site.

[NATHAN] They sent an expert in
causation of liability.


They're looking
for someone to blame.


They're gonna blame it on you.

You got to get this attorney
on your side, Tommy.

[ARIANA] You're the worm.

Elvio did a very good job
of describing you.

You're Ariana.

[MANUEL] You ever put your arm
around my cousin's widow again,

Hey, we're at the courthouse, right?

No, we're at the attorney's
office across the street.


All right, well, text me the address.

[INSTRUCTOR] Now get lower!

How long is your family staying, Tommy?

Only one of 'em is my family,
and I don't know.

Okay, well, see,

the house is essentially
my office, and they are...

How best to put this?

Disrupting your workspace.

Well put, yes.

When they twerk in the living room

in their f*cking underwear,
it disrupts my workspace.

Okay, I'll talk to 'em.

I don't want you
to talk to them, Tommy.


I want you

[ROBERTS] Why didn't you
report
the theft of the King Air?

I did report it.

[NATHAN] This is a copy of
a report filed with the FAA.

Note the date.

Yes, we have this.

Why did you not report it
to local authorities?

Because local authorities
have no jurisdiction.

It's the responsibility of the FAA

to report any theft
to local law enforcement

if, in fact, it was a theft.

I don't own or manage the plane.

I don't control the manifest.

And as far as I know,

it could've been chartered
or leased out.

Objection. Speculation.

If you didn't want an answer,

you shouldn't have asked
the question, number one.

Number two, this is a deposition.

Who was your objection directed toward?

It's directed toward your client.

Which is to say it's directed toward me.

In that case, objection is overruled.

[SCOFFS] Isn't it fun
being out of law school?

Maybe you should go back

since you clearly do not understand

how a deposition works.

He is testifying under oath

to questions you ask.

The only person who can object is me.

- I can tell him not to answer...
- You can advise.

And his failure to answer questions

will be addressed in court.

Which it should be.

Instead of wasting
our f*cking time in deposition.

Can we pause recording?

[BEEPS]

Can counsel speak?

By all means.

Let's step into the conference room.

[DOOR OPENS]

[SIGHS]

- Have a seat.
- I'm fine.

Listen, hon, we were playing
the pissed-off litigator

while you were still
being bathed by your daddy.

My father died before I was born,

defending your right to say
offensive and sexist remarks

like the ones you just uttered here

in front of six witnesses,

all of whom are attorneys
and three of whom are women.

So if this is how you talk to a woman

in front of a court reporter...
[CLICKS TONGUE]

...I wonder what interesting
tales they have to tell

about those late-night
discovery sessions.

Let's just take the temperature
down a notch.

Take the temperature down?

We are not the ones
who are seeking depositions.

Let me point the facts of
this case out to you, all right?

Your driver used a private road,

owned and constructed by
my client, without permission.

- We had permission.
- I've seen no such documents

- submitted by counsel.
- Permission was verbal.

- Permission from who?
- Tommy Norris.

Would you ask Mr. Norris
to come in here, please?

[SOFT, DRAMATIC MUSIC]

♪♪♪

- [CROWLEY] Listen, let's...
- I'm done speaking to you.

May I speak?

Feel free.

I know where you're going with this,

and you need to understand,
a verbal agreement

is legally binding
in the state of Texas.

If it can be proven.

Did you give permission for TTP

to use our cutoff to Highway 285?

When 302 was closed
for night construction,

they asked if they could use the
bypass, and I allowed 'em to.

Did they ask
for that courtesy to be extended

beyond the closure of the highway?

They did not.

Were you, or any M-TEX employees, aware

of their continued use of the road?

I wasn't, but I can't speak
for anybody else.

Mm-hmm. You had restricted permission,

which had expired.

You made no request to extend it.

The plane in question
was reported stolen

and was in possession of the
thieves at the time of the accident.

But even if it hadn't been stolen,

we could land it in the middle
of the road whenever we want.

It's our f*cking road.

You had no right, easement, lease,

nor permission to use the road.

To assert otherwise is false,

and the mere insinuation
we were complicit

in the theft of the plane is defamatory

and will be treated as such.

Not to mention
multiple attempts, on record,

of your partner making
a derogatory statement

about my gender and stating
that I bathed with my father,

falsely insinuating an incestuous

and criminally sexual relationship

with a deceased Army Ranger.

Uncle. We get it.

Do you?

Think they hired me 'cause I'm pretty?

I charge $900 an hour, you as*h*le,

and you're real close to learning why.

So, here's what you're going to do.

You're gonna drop this bullshit claim.

You, your client,

and your insurance company
are going to circle up

and take your eight-figure
settlement like men,

or I will sue this firm, your client,

and your insurance company
for defamation, slander,

frivolous and malicious prosecution,

intentional infliction
of emotional distress,

mental anguish, and...

anything else I can come up with.

And when this is over in seven years,

you will be disbarred

and I will hang your law degrees
over my f*cking toilet.

[LAUGHING]

Ah, sh*t.

I'm sorry. Sorry.

Would you draft up
the settlement, please?

And make sure
it's withdrawn with prejudice.

Oh, no one is leaving but me.

Draft the settlement here,
have them sign it here.

Don't you want to be here
to negotiate the language?

We're not negotiating language.

This is a surrender.

They sign what you write,

and I'll be waiting at the courthouse

with CBS News if they don't.

Is that how you play
pissed-off litigator?

[SCOFFS]

Didn't think so.

[CLEARS THROAT]

You're good to go, Tommy.

Rebecca?

So, I'm done with my deposition?

Everyone's done with the deposition.

You want to go have a drink?

A drink?

Yeah. Let's go have a drink.

To... what? Discuss
the next eight-figure lawsuit

we're facing because of you?

Not because of me.

You stand in the fall guy position.

That makes them about you.

Well, that's not what
I want to talk about, anyway.

Well, what do you want to talk about?

sh*t, I don't know. Just talk.

You know, about you, the
weather. sh*t, I don't know.

The weather in West Texas? Hot.

What else are we gonna talk about?

Um...

Well, your dad was
an Army Ranger. Start there.

My father is
an investment banker in Chicago.

I made that sh*t up.

You know, I didn't
give you enough credit.

Nobody does.

Look, I'm a fairly goal-oriented person,

in case you didn't notice,
so I need to understand

the purpose of this drink.

There's no purpose,
I just enjoyed watching you,

and I thought we'd give a little toast

to a pretty one-sided
a*s-whipping, that's all.

Hmm. 60-year-old, two-pack-a-day smoker

who's living in a rent house
in Midland, Texas

is not how I've drawn up my dream man.

And if you're thinking something
a little more casual,

you're up against a little toy
the size of a lipstick case

that doesn't talk back and never
makes me sleep in the wet spot.

Well, you lawyers sure do
think sh*t through, don't you?

I barely got past a beer,
which, by the way,

I'm gonna have

No, she had a choice

which is always the longest road.

Boomtowns.

Hell, we're not any different
than Tombstone

or Dodge City or San Francisco.

First comes the dreamers,
then the bankers,

then the salesmen, then the sharks,

then the desperate,
and then the thieves.

What happens in a bust?

Well, you want oil to live
above 60 but below 90.

And don't get me wrong,

we're still printing money at 90, but...

gas gets up over $3.50
a gallon, it starts to pinch.

It hits a hundred,
every product in America

has to readjust its price.

$78 a barrel, that's about perfect.

You know, brings enough profit
to keep exploring,

but it don't sting as much at the pump.

Unless, of course, you're in California.

I mean, they tax the sh*t
out of it out there.

It could be $45 a barrel, and
it's still four dollars to pump.

I don't know how those
son-b*tches do it out there.



This place became a ghost town.

And nobody's immune.

Kids have to quit college.

Trucks get sold or repo'd.

Houses, too.

People quit going to the doctor

'cause they lost their insurance.

Yeah, a bust affects
everything in a town like this.

Even the lifespan of the population.

The smart ones,
they pay cash for everything

and then sock away enough
to ride out the troughs,

but there ain't that many smart ones.

[MAN] When I first went
to work in the oil field,


there were three kinds of people:

worms, ginsels and skinheads.

[TOMMY] So, Monty got in at $900 an acre

- on a 30,000-acre track in 2011.
- [REBECCA] Mm-hmm.

Started fracking
and drilling horizontals.

This whole area was played out.

They'd been drilling here since 1921.

Pretty worn.

Well, Monty's got a lease
outside Midland

in an area they call
the Delaware Subbasin.

He sold 10,000 acres in 2019

for $70,000 an acre.

$700 million dollars in one transaction.

And then, in 2020, he bought it all back

at ten cents on the dollar.

- [CHUCKLES]
- [SCOFFS] Wow.

Paid 'em with their own money.
And he grew up with nothing.

Raised in a little trailer park
in Pennsylvania.

He got a scholarship
to play ball at Tech.

He was smart enough to know football

wasn't really a business,
it was more of a dream, so...

[REBECCA] I thought you said it's
dreamers who come to this place.

Well, it can be the dream,

but you got to have a plan, you know?

Most don't.

Monty always had a plan.

Hmm. Little far

Well, we can fry 'em.

Kind of defeats the purpose,
don't you think?

You know, they grind up
them shrimp tails

and they put 'em
in all those weight-loss pills,

get on this plane,

different things, Nathan.

You still awake, babe?

[SIGHS]

[WOMAN ON TV] It's-it's crazy
'cause I-I believe you,


but then I-I kind of don't,
you know?


[MUTES AUDIO]

[SETS REMOTE DOWN]

Okay, what's wrong?

She's a quitter.

She's a f*cking quitter.

[SNIFFLES] Market crashes
and she leaves you.

Finds the richest man who will have her.

Well, honey,
there's more to it than that.

No, there isn't.

It's hard to describe what
it means to lose everything.

Your house and your car.

We had to sell all of her jewelry.

And I was no picnic.

I hid in a bottle and didn't
come out till she left me.

She was just trying to do the best thing

for you and your brother.

And it's not worth
one tear out of you, hon.

Okay.

And it doesn't matter because...

even if there hadn't been a bust,

we would've still ended.

We're just oil and water.
You know what I mean?

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

[SNIFFLES]

You get some sleep, honey.

I'll never quit you.

No matter what the market does.

I know you won't, baby girl.

Every damn woman in my life.

All right, let me have it.

We were great together, weren't we?

Honey... [CHUCKLES]

We had a terrible marriage,

interrupted by brief moments of joy.

I mean, remember,
you were pretty miserable

during the booms, don't forget.

You were always gone.

And I'll always be gone.
That's the job, hon.

I mean, we had great sex

and I made you laugh, that was it.

I've lived the alternative.

[SIGHS]

I'll take great sex and a laugh any day.

What else is there?

Look, I don't have a side piece

and I'm not looking to be one myself.

I'm gonna leave him.

That's a pretty nice house he's got.

[CHUCKLES]

It's a five-minute walk
to the f*cking kitchen.

Big, nice jet.

The jet is nice, but...

successful relationships
require a sacrifice.

It's gonna be hard
to give up that Bentley.

The Bentley's in my name, baby.

This ain't my first rodeo.

[CHUCKLES]

Say yes.

It's a huge mistake.

Say yes.

I got three roommates.

Say yes.

[GRUNTS]

Oh, f*ck.

That's the plan, baby.

That's a lot of homework.

[BOTH YELP]

What are you doing?

Working. What the f*ck?

[FOOTFALLS APPROACH]

Nate, that's your last cup of coffee.

Honey, please put some clothes on.

Somebody's gonna have a heart attack.

Well, I need to go shopping, then.

The only clothes I have
were to seduce my boyfriend.

Don't have that problem anymore.

You certainly do not.

- Busy kitchen.
- Yeah.

I'm going to my room.

Discretion's the better part
of valor, Nate.

Are we moving here for good?

Moving here for good, honey.

[CONTENTED SIGH]

Wow.

Wow, you must've really
pulled out the special sauce.

Daddy told me just last night
how bad y'all are together.

Really?

[FRIDGE DOOR OPENS]

Well, she was taking that
out of context.

Mm-hmm.

Anyway, I got a big day,
so I'm gonna get out of here.

Bye, honey.

- Hey.
- Yeah?

- Ow. g*dd*mn.

See you later.

[TOMMY] Ah, yeah.

I must be out of my f*cking mind.

Good.
