01x10 - Maybe It's Time Yancy Grey Dies Too

[bunniefuu]

[Staten] Previously
on Ransom Canyon…

- Will you tell him it's over?
- I just wanna be kind.

That man has been handed everything
he has on a silver platter.

- Including a mountain of debt, okay?
- Really?

- Promise you won't say anything.
- I promise.

We're taking a six-figure
haircut because of you!

Your father, he made me trustee.

Trustee can be unseated.

You sign, and I won't be
your responsibility anymore.

- Is that what you want?
- No, tell the truth about what happened.

[Kit] He's dead. Slide over.

We're gonna get out
of this together.

There is a boy in jail
because of what you have done.

You gonna let Kit rot in that cell
because of what you did to Randall?

Go back to Austin.

I'm gonna figure this out.

[crowd cheering]

[gasps, groans]

- [Staten] Why didn't you tell him?
- [Cap] What would I have said?

That you felt like sh*t for
turning his mother away?

That you looked for him?
He'd want to hear that.

[Cap] I'm gonna go take
a ride, think on it.

I got stood up for lunch by an old
man who would fall apart without me.

Cap stood you up?
Something's wrong.

Cap?

Yeah, it's, uh… It's hit her
pretty hard. But I got her.

I know you do.

How about you? How

Just focusing on
Ellie right now.

[Staten] Yeah.

[starts engine]

[car pulls away]

Turkey on rye.

Hey, uh…

- We should talk about the memorial.
- No.

It's too soon.

El, it's been three
days. We have to.

Why?

[bittersweet music playing]

Cap would've hated it.

Just a bunch of people talking
about him, saying nice things.

- It's just not him.
- Are you kidding me?

He'd want a front row
seat to the thing.

He'd be sitting there sipping his
whiskey, watching all of us squirm.

[laughs quietly]

I think the least we can
do is honor his last wish,

bury him on his land.

What about his wish
to sell to AWP?

I'm gonna honor that one too.

And I'm gonna give every
cent to you. You and Ruth.

And then what?

- You're gonna leave.
- Hey.

I'm not going anywhere.

I promise.

Come here.

I'm not used to it this quiet.

[Staten] Yeah.

It sure is different.

- It's like some magic is gone.
- Hmm.

Magic and a few
off-color insults.

[Quinn laughs]

You know, I do seem to recall you dragging
me back into the world of the living

not so long ago.

- And did I?
- You sure did.

You could do the same for
Ellie and for this town.

That's a tall order.

I got faith in you, kid.

Come on. Let's do this.

- [Quinn] Oh my God.
- What?

Austin Water & Power.

[tense music playing]

They're threatening legal action

if I don't "recoup their
early-stage investment."

No strings, my a*s.

Eighty-thousand dollars?

sh*t.

And I have one week to
make the first payment.

I don't know how I'm gonna
raise that kind of money.

They're going at
you to get to me.

This is my fault. Let me…

- Let me cover it, okay?
- No.

Thank you. No, I don't need
rescuing. I don't want that.

They are gonna do whatever they can
to force me out, you understand?

I mean it, Staten.

I'll find a way.

[door opens]

Come on.

I just…

I don't get it.

I came by the hospital,
she wouldn't see me.

I've been by here
every day since.

Look, all I want to know, I… I
need to know that she's okay.

She's fine, kid.

She'll be fine.

She needs some time.

What about you?

- I heard you saw your brother.
- Yep.

Yeah, he didn't want anything
to do with me either.

Couldn't sign those
emancipation papers fast enough.

[Dan exhales]

I'm sorry, son.

Look, I got no one else left.

I can't lose her too.

Tell her for me?

You can't avoid
that boy forever.

Where do you think
I get it from?

You're not too bad at
avoiding people yourself.

What's that supposed
to mean? Hey!

[door opens]

[door shuts]

[exhales shakily]

Hi.

Hm.

[Davis clears throat]

How's Ellie?

Uh…

Well… [laughs nervously] …she's…

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

- I should have done this sooner, Davis.
- Quinn, it's okay.

I… I know…

about you and Staten.

I've always known.

I'm so sorry, Davis.

Yeah, me too.

[sighs]

I really wanted this to work.

Lord knows I wanted it to work.

I was kinda hoping you'd be a real
as*h*le about this, make it easier.

Ah, I mean, I wanted to be.

I couldn't.

You know, what you
did for my sister,

you being there for her
right to the end, I…

- Can I ever repay you for that?
- You don't have to.

She just always wanted
you to be happy, and…

I just always wanted
that to be me.

If it's not, if it
isn't, it's… it's okay.

[Davis mumbles]

You still going to New York?

[voice shaking] Uh…

I don't know.

It's coming up
pretty soon, right?

Yeah.

Well… [clears throat]

Hey.

Do what makes you happy.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Okay.

[sobs]

Hey, uh…

Yeah?

Was it ever real, you and me?

[sad, shuddering laugh]

Yeah, it was.

[exhales]

[footsteps approaching]

Yeah.

I don't know how to describe it.

You don't have to.

How are you doing?

Please tell me. I don't want
to be in here right now.

Okay. Um…

- Well, Cap was...
- Mm.

No.

Tell me something else.

All right.

Well, the bar might go under.

- What?
- AWP wants their investment back.

- [ominous music playing]
- Oh, Quinn…

- Yeah.
- Why didn't you say anything?

Oh… [scoffs]

You've been… [laughs]

You've had a lot on your
plate, and I know how much he…

I just know.

And besides, I'm not sure there's
an easy answer for Gracie's.

- I'm so sorry, Quinn.
- It's okay.

It's my fault that you got
involved with these people.

No, Ellie, it's not your fault.

I promise.

Come here.

[emotional music playing]

[footsteps approaching]

[Lucas exhales]

Why won't you talk to me?

I'm sorry.

It's been a lot.

I know it has been.

And all I've wanted to do is help you,
but I can't if you don't talk to me.

There's no scholarship, no UT…

- Whoa, whoa, that is a lot of big leaps.
- It's true, though.

Whatever happens,
I'm gonna be here.

You know that, right?

What happened with Kit?

[sentimental music playing]

With the papers?

He signed them.

I didn't think he
would, but he did.

Said he couldn't wait to be
free of the burden of me.

It's okay. I'm okay.

All I need is you.

And if that means Ransom,
then Ransom's where I'll be.

I'm not leaving you.

[glass taps table]

Bright side, we got
something in common now.

[Davis] Yeah.

Yeah, I guess we do.

Sorry, Dad. I know how
much you care about her.

Don't be sorry. Not
for me or for you.

We may have lost this round, but
it's what we do now that matters.

Yeah, he was doing the same thing you
were doing the last time I saw him.

- [Yancy] Regretting the past?
- [laughs] Yeah.

Well, that too.

He was sipping on some whiskey.

[Yancy] It's funny, you know.

I came here for revenge.

I think I might've been
looking for something else.

Acceptance.

Love.

Mm.

Yeah, but Cap, he… He
didn't have any of that.

Not for me.

[emotional music playing]

And I don't blame him for it.

Ellie wants me to do the right thing,
but I don't know what that is anymore.

All I know is that he would want me as
far away from this place as possible.

Nah, that's not true.

How do you know that?

Because he told me.

He looked for you.

You and your mother.

sh*t, he spent years
looking for you two.

Hated himself for what he did.

He wanted to make it right.

And he wanted to tell you.

But I guess he never
got the chance.

So what do you
think I should do?

sh*t, only you can decide that.

Hey, it's a wake.

Maybe it's time
Yancy Grey dies too.

You're a Fuller.

You always have been.

Ransom's a little
dimmer now, isn't it?

- Yes, it is.
- How's business?

I think you know
how business is.

Were you behind it?

- "It"?
- AWP calling back their investment.

[scoffs] No. Did I
know about it? Sure.

- [Quinn scoffs]
- Now, it is my supposition that

If the owner of this thriving
joint were to find herself taking

a public position in
favor of the pipeline…

- That wasn't the deal. You were there.
- You're running out of time, Quinn.

Yeah, maybe.

I'd rather see Gracie's close
than keep playing your game.

[laughing] My game.

You don't think I'm
serious, do you?

Baby.

Your shoulder is gonna heal. You
are gonna get back on that horse.

I know about you, Mom, and Kit.

'Kay? I heard everything when she
came by the house the other day.

- [tense music playing]
- Honestly, I don't know how to feel.

[exhales] Look, Lauren...

You know, what I do know is that

I'm not the one who should be
addressing things right now.

Because you are guilty
too for letting her go.

But you… you can't let
Kit sit in that cell.

You have to do what's right.

You have to.

Come here.

No. No, no. Listen, you
cannot close Gracie's.

You put way too much into this.

And I'm still out of options.

I told you that
I would help you.

And I told you thank you,
but, no, I don't want that.

Maybe it's time I move on.

Move on to what?

- New York?
- New York?

I got offered to play with the
New York Phil for six months.

Wow, okay.

And when exactly were you
planning on telling me that?

[quiet, dramatic music playing]

I don't know, Staten.

So you just rope me in, then
cut me loose. Was that the plan?

We have our little fling, and then
you just jet off to New York City.

Wow.

Quinn, please...

No.

Staten.

I'm tired.

Let's just go to bed.

[Quinn exhales slowly]

[vehicle approaching]

[Ellie] Well,
you've got me here.

- What is this?
- Just trust me, okay?

I gotta go help Quinn set up.

Just… give me a minute. Um…

I'm not gonna sell.

I'm gonna run this ranch
till they bury me on it,

next to Cap and my old man.

That makes me really happy.

The keeping the ranch part, not
the being buried part, of course.

- Yeah. No, I got that. Um…
- [laughs]

Look, um…

I know

that I've really
put you through it.

I've screwed this up pretty
much every step along the way,

and you've stuck by me.

- No one's ever done that.
- Yancy.

No, listen.

My entire life has been

one bad decision after the next.

But if I don't do this right now,
it'll be the stupidest thing I've done.

Do what?

Marry me.

Here.

Tonight. Ruth gave me the ring.

- She said this is the exact spot...
- Are you kidding me right now?

Wasn't exactly the
response I was going for.

Yancy, this is insane.

I want to know the man I marry.

But you do. You do.

You… You know everything
there is to know.

The good and the bad.

I'm asking you to take a leap.

I got a priest and everything.

[laughs] You got a
priest? What if I said no?

Say yes.

I got a party, um,
at the dance hall.

Well, I got the rest of my life.

Just come by after your party.

And I'll be here, waiting.

I'll wait as long as I have to.

But I am paying the
priest by the hour.

- [she laughs]
- So…

So what do you
say, Ellie Estevez?

I'll think about it.

That ain't a no.

It ain't a no.

Right.

Just make yourself at home.

This is my home.

I saw you at the memorial, and I
thought you'd at least say hello.

Look, you want to
come at me, go for it.

Have at it, but I warned
you about going after Quinn.

You know, I tried to play the
concerned father for you here.

Jesus Christ.

I tried to give you the illusion
that you had some agency in all this.

But your days of calling the shots
at the Double K are numbered.

Is that right?

Yeah, I'm contesting
you as sole trustee.

Ha! On what grounds?

You're not in your
right mind, son.

- Not after Randall.
- Careful.

You're not a reliable trustee.

You're a loose cannon. You must've
got that from your granddad.

So that's what this
is about, isn't it?

Your father.

It is.

You don't give two shits about
Austin Water & Power. You never did.

You can't stand the fact
that he passed you over

and gave the ranch to me.

Yeah, and look how
that turned out!

[sighs]

Cap agreed to sell
before he passed.

Yeah.

And you're all that's left. So
this is all just a courtesy.

You should take a
good look around, son.

'Cause pretty soon, you're gonna
see this place from a whole…

whole different slant.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[grunts]

[foreboding music playing]

[Davis] I am sorry how
this all worked out.

- I know you might not believe that.
- You're right. I don't.

I never wanted this, Yancy.

- Cap dying, I...
- But?

Come on. He was an old man.

- And...
- And what?

Go on. Say it.

Isn't this what we
were after? [laughs]

Tragic circumstances aside.

Don't throw it all
away. Not for...

For her?

Be very careful of
what you say next.

Twenty-two million
dollars, Yancy.

That's what Fuller
Ranch sells for.

Twenty-two million dollars!
You think about that.

You want to walk away from that?

That buys you a new life. Any
life that you want! Any life!

Look, I know Ellie's a
special girl. I… I know.

I get it.

But you can have anything
or anyone that you want.

[Davis exhales]

I know who I want.

She doesn't have a price.

- I'm marrying her.
- Oh Yancy, come on.

I'm done, Davis.

Find another way.

This is where you and I end.

[scoffs]

I'm not shaking your hand.

[playing "Chopsticks"]

You okay?

I'm fine.

I'm just tired of things dying.

Yeah.

[sighs]

[Ellie] When do we tell
'em this might be the end?

We don't.

I'm going to New York.

- Well, that sounds like the end to me.
- No, I'm taking the gig.

I'm gonna make us
our money, Ellie.

So we're not closing?

[Quinn laughs]

That depends.

- What are you gonna do about your new gig?
- What are you talking about?

I'm talking about you coming on as a
new partner of Gracie's Dance Hall.

It's a long time coming.

Yes. [laughs]

[Quinn giggles]

Let's show them how it's done.
