All language subtitles for Rutherford.Falls.S01E04

Josh: What is
the story of america?

Is it a chronicle of
innovation and achievement

or of oppression and greed?

Is it about freedom or power?

Who gets to write history?

And once written,
can it be changed?

I want to do a story about...

Guys, can you please stop
texting for, like, five seconds?

I'm almost done.

This is a story about stories.

Our narrative's about who we are

and how we got here.

It's about a town,

but it's also about everything.

Wow, everything. Sounds big.

Rutherford falls is the
birthplace of rutherford inc.

A huge conglomerate
that makes everything

from missile-guidance
systems to wet wipes.

There's something happening
in that town, and it feels like

a powder keg.

You think everything's
a powder keg, Josh,

or a ticking time bomb. Or...

What'd you call the mall
that hired female santas?

A tinderbox?

A Christmas-pocalypse.

Right.

But it wasn't.

And this isn't some
confederate statue

being pulled down by protesters.

At best, it's a local
traffic issue.

Moveon. Okay, canljust_

Please don't make me look
up from my phone again.

Nathan: Okay,
climate control is set.

I called the sheriff, let
him know I'll be out of town.

Thank you, Bobbie.

Um, what am I forgetting?

Get out of here.
Have a great weekend.

This place is gonna be
exactly the same as you left it...

Maybe better. Uh...

Same is better,
so maybe go with that.

Hard agree. Doesn't
make sense, but sure.

Oh, I am so glad

aunt ida's birthday
is this weekend.

I'm so stressed out
about this big Larry stuff.

I just need to be around family.

You know, feed off that bond.

Both: Yes. Oh, my god.

How could I forget?

Nathan: Ceremonial
transfer of authority.

Ah, okay. We're gonna do
the whole scroll thing?

"I, Nathan rutherford,
being of sound mind and body,

"do hereby surrender the
rutherford falls heritage museum

"to the care of..."
State your name.

Reagan. Yeah, uh, full name.

Reagan Blanchard Wells,
as you know.

Right, okay. "The weight
of 1,000 rutherfords

"rests squarely
on your shoulders.

"Stand tall, stand
proud." Are we done?

I know it sounds over the top,

but I love this museum.

I obviously love and trust you,

but now you're legally bound

to love this museum as well,

and I can relax.

And that's all that's important.

Get on the road, man.

Large almond-milk caramel latte,

eight sugars, and four splendas.

Yeah, the splenda, like,
kills most of the sugar.

It's science.
You don't care. Right.

Ray: Reags!

Ray.

Oh, and Ray's pregnant wife.

I mean Shannon.

Hey, girl.

This is fun.

Congrats on the baby.

Oh. We owe it all to you

for breaking this one's heart

so I can mend it.

Oh, I don't know
if I did all that.

You did. I took your advice.

Got off the couch,
and got my life together.

Shannon: Aw! Okay, well...

Nope, are you here
with someone or...

All alone on the
sidewalk andinlfie.

I just know in my bones
you're gonna meet someone.

Totally. Eh, there's, like,

five age-appropriate
guys in this town,

and I pretty much know them all.

One of 'em's Jeff.

Yeah, we don't have that vibe.

He's not wrong.

Ray: Well, just stay positive.

You know, everything
happens for a reason.

Okay. Oh, phone.

Bummer.

All right, great
to see you both.

Shannon: Yeah. Okey-doke.

Bobbie, what's up? There's a reporter here.

He looks like one
of those "vice" guys

that's too hot
to take seriously.

He's asking about
Nathan and big Larry,

and I can't not tell
him. He's too hot.

A reporter? No.

Publicity is the last thing
Nathan needs right now.

Okay, uh, I'll be right there.

Say nothing.

I mean, I'll try, but he
has those arm veins.

I already gave him my
social security number.

What is wrong with me?

Mmnpmnm. Thank you.

Hello, rutherfords!

All: Hi! Oh!

Charlie, Kevin.

Hey, guys. Hi.

Hey! Maddy, Molly.

Hi, Nathan. Cousin
Karen, spinning a yarn.

Put a pin in it for one second.

Got to hand out some t-shirts.

Hello! T-shirts!

Cousin Linda, boom.

Mark, look alive.

Little bro. Hey!

Get over here.

Ooh, big hug.

Yeah, I'm just... i'm
so happy to see you.

Yeah, hey, what's
going on over here?

This writing desk used
to be a bookcase.

The plaster used to be eggshell.

Now it's clearly ivory.

Well, we, uh, you know,
we freshened things up a bit.

Okay, did I miss
an email thread or...

About cosmetic work
on my own house? No.

Anyway, look, there
is some family stuff

that I need
to talk to you about,

okay, at some point.
Yeah, of course.

Let me just get a couple of quick
announcements out of the way.

Hello! Everybody.

Quick announcement.

You all got my email
about the interviews

for great aunt ida's
birthday video.

Fyi, those times are sharp.

Also, uh,

I just need to shoot the
elephant in the room right now.

I know you're all aware
of the big Larry brouhaha.

Huge bummer, tons of drams,

but I don't want it
to affect the weekend.

Just stay present,
and let's all have fun!

All right. Put this on! I will.

Put it on! I'll do it. Right
now. I'll go do it right now.

Hi. He's looking.

It's cool. Totally chill.

Totally cool. Cue the spa music.

Hi, there.

I'm Reagan... oh!

Oh, my god. Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm fine.

Ugh. I'm Reagan.

This is, um, unfortunately,

a very accurate
first impression, so...

But nice to meet you.

Hey. Josh. Okay, yeah.

Nathan's just not reachable.

I don't know
when he's coming back.

Actually, don't even
know where he went.

Maybe there.

Oh, wow.

Good digging.
You are a reporter.

Bobbie: Really impressive.

Do you do cardio,
or is it mostly pilates?

Um, what were you
hoping to ask him?

Oh, well, I saw a video online

of Nathan from founder's day.

He seems really passionate

about his family
lineage and this statue?

Big Larry?

Uh... yes.

I think I know what
you're talking about.

Well, it seemed like the
story might resonate with

the rest of the country.

The United States?

Yeah, that one.

National news. Very exciting.

Um, well, I am in charge
of the museum today,

and I would love
to show you around.

Why don't we check out
the east gallery?

What do you think you're doing?

Nathan couldn't
handle some dumb podcast.

How's he gonna do
with a smart, crafty,

annoyingly hot reporter?

By the way, could have
used a little heads-up on that.

I told you he was hot.

Not centaur hot.

Whatever. We just
need to keep it cool

and show him that
there is no story

in this boring, boring town.

Nathan: Old I.T. Rutherford
built this house in 1821,

and it's been passed down
in our family ever since.

Now, rumor has it,

this house was used
to pass secret messages

among freemasons.

Of course, if you want
to pass a secret message,

you better have a secret
compartment, right?

Yep, every summer,
your uncle duz

and I would explore this
house looking for surprises.

Sometimes that surprise
was a horse skull

hidden by superstitious
Irish builders.

And sometimes that surprise

was actual secret treasure.

You can thank old Eloise
rutherford for those.

Nathan.

So, uh, when did you
want to have that chat?

It's kind of important.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
let's do it at triple b.

During what? Triple b.

Bbb. Come on.

It's that thing that we do.

I have no idea
what that is, Nathan.

Brandy, brothers, and...

Nathan. Backgammon.

Oh. Come on. We
do it every year.

Oh, we did it iastyean

yeah. But wasn't
that the first time?

Vveh, yeah, but I was like,

"we should do this every year."

And you were like, "okay."

Okay, then. I guess
we'll talk at triple b.

Triple b! Triple b!

Oh, Ava. That's an
ant trap, not candy.

Come on, let's go find your mom.

So I bet you're thinking
Lawrence was elected mayor

and changed the
tree ordinance. Right?

Um, I guess I don't... wrong.

He lost by a landslide,

and to understand why,

we have to go back to the
great fence fire of 1847.

It was the longest fire
in American history,

not by time, but by length.

I think I might be
all set on context.

Are you sure?
Yep. Maybe I should just

go see big Larry.

Perfect. We can hit
some hot spots on the way,

including the masquat preserve,

site of four debunked
bigfoot sightings.

Okay. I'll drive.

Nathan: Hold that fork, ida.

Ladies and gentlemen,
it is time to find out

what the rutherfords
have been doing.

Yeah. Is that a thing or...

It's sort of
a musical newsletter.

Don't worry, it's quick.

Oh, no. No, no.
It's great. I mean,

my family doesn't even
speak to each other.

All right. Uncle
Roger, drop a beat.

Ah, one of these years, rog.

All right, here we go.

Well, a banner
year it turned out to be

for the mighty rutherford clan

a swim team championship
for Carly

and a haircut for Dan

Emma saved a stranger's life

a heimlich to the chest

uncle Jake went to Nepal

on a spiritual quest

cousin Beth got married

to a delawarean named Steve

who got a big promotion

vp atallstate, I believe

hey. How the heck
did he know that?

Oh, he does his research. Oh.

Mental note take a car or a boat

to visit Ken and randi

I heard from your son
that you've begun

to make your own pear Brandy?

We have. It is gross.

Nathan: Yeah.
Oh, he mentioned that.

Well, old Joe is off the market

it's strange to say those words

I must have it twisted
he's always insisted

that love is...

All: For the birds!

It is for the birds.

Nathan: All right.

I love being part of
this family. Oh, okay.

Oh, we're glad
to have you, Steve.

Aw, man. I love this.

I love this tradition you
guys have. I love this house.

I can't believe
you're selling it, Larry.

To the rutherfords.

I'm sorry? Uh, what did he say?

It's dry.

Reagan: You know,
a milkshake from Kelly's

is a story unto itself.

She gets the milk directly
from Bob missiti's farm.

Oh, my gosh, you
should interview him.

He just installed solar panels.

Cool. Yeah.

Uh, so what about you?

For moving the statue,
or against?

You know, the thing
about the statue is,

I don't care.

Okay.

Uh, well, what about
the rest the town?

It's just not really a thing.

I mean, nothing here really is.

You coming is the biggest
news since Denise Richards

got her tire patched
at a chevron.

That is big news. It was.

Yeah, well,

not exactly what I was
hoping you'd say,

but I appreciate yourcandon

no problem.

Waiter: Two shakes?
Ooh, the main event.

Here you go. Thank you.

Enjoy. You know what?

I'm actually lactose intolerant,

so you get to try both.

Multiple sources
for your investigation.

Nathan, can we be
adults, please?

Look, this is just too much
house for a family of four.

Okay? So, we're gonna sell it.

It's supposed to go
to your first heir.

Shouldn't Molly have a say?

Well...

Molly wants to be some kind of

surfing influencer in Costa Rica

and not live in an ancient
money pit in New Jersey.

Look, hmm.

This place just isn't
for us anymore, Nathan.

Fine. God.

Who are you gonna sell it to?

Who's the lucky rutherford?

Greg and Teresa, I could
wrap my head around.

Jared? Don't you dare, okay?

He would fill this place
up with star wars figurines.

You're not even gonna
keep it in the family?

You're just gonna
sell it to whomever?

Yeah, Nathan.

It's a crazy system
called the housing market,

where, you know, whoever offers

the most money gets the house.

Look, this isn't even what
I wanted to talk to you...

You know, I came
to you earlier, Nathan,

but you said wanted
to wait till brb.

Triple b! Okay?

Now there's a fourth b,

for betrayal.

How long before
it hits "the market"?

I'm not sure
why that's in quotes,

but, you know, in a few days.

All right, I'm gonna
change your mind.

Just promise me you won't
sell it in the next 24 hours.

I mean, yeah.

The listing won't
go up until Monday.

You got yourself
a deal. Come here.

Bring it in. All right.

You give me 24 hours.

I'm gonna get inside
that hard head of yours.

Okay, everybody. A
slight change 0' plans.

This video is now aboutyour
wonderful memories

of this amazing house and
why it should not be sold.

It is not about aunt ida,

so, don't talk abouthef

she is irrelevant.

Who's first?

Uh, I loved those
summers up here

with you, duz, and the cousins.

You know,

we'd frog hunt, mud slide,
play tag in the tall grass.

Yes.

Which, in retrospect, was dumb.

It's a feeding ground
forficks. Hmm?

Lyme disease has not been fun.

Well, but it wasn't that bad.

Well, half my face was
paralyzed for about a year. Hmm.

Plus, I had this rash. Okay,

but now, you're feeling like...

Now, it's just overall
fatigue and muscle pain.

Mmm-hmm. Still?

Yeah. Wow.

I want to help,
but, technically,

this is my first time
in the house.

Well, you're here now,
so, talk about that.

Well, we had lunch.
That was nice.

Late chili... oh.

Hmm... with shredded cheese.

There was com bread on the
side... stop talking about food.

Um, less about what you ate

and more about
how it made you feel.

Seriously, Mark?
You got nothing?

I mean, you got
married here, man.

It was beautiful.

We all threw rice on
you in the driveway.

But, uh, Sarah and I
aren't together anymore.

That colors things.

Yeah, we all saw that coming.

Yeah. But it just...

It's not like
you hate each other.

Like, you're still
in touch, right?

Well, really just 'cause
we're co-parenting a dog.

Next!

So, pretty much just

a straightforward statue.

Reagan: Mmm-hmm.

Is there anything of note?

The national register
for historic places

did call us and ask
us to stop applying.

That was big.

Well, uh, thanks,

but I think you're right.

There's nothing here.

Sorry. It's a bummer,

right, but... oh.

Did you go to Northwestern?

Yeah, graduated in '08.

Grad school, 2010.

We were there at the
same time. Same time.

And then we said at...

Both: "The same time"
at the same time.

Ah, crazy world.

Uh, well, I should probably
go catch the next train.

I think there's one in...

Four hours.

Okay, I did not plan this well.

Ooh. Okay.

Thanks for the...

Yeah. Thanks

Um, the train station

is more of a bathroom
for homeless drifters.

Want to get a drink?

Well,

sending this little guy home.

Isn't that ironic?

Well, I'm not sure I agree

that the center bar
is that piece's home.

But you get why
it's ironic? Nathan...

Because you're selling
our family home?

Ifyoulove this house so
much, why don't you buy it?

Because I'd have
to leave rutherford falls,

where I'm the last remaining
member of our entire family.

All the better.

I mean, come on, man.

This town, the
whole family thing...

Don't you ever want to
get some space from it all?

Uh, no.

Why? And, I mean,
what is so great

about being a rutherford?

I'm one, and I can't
for the life of me...

We founded a town.

We're the namesake of a
huge multinational corporation.

We blazed thousands of
trails through uncharted...

Right, but ourfamily also
did some other shit that sucks.

Okay? But you
never mention that.

What are you even talking about?

Okay. I mean,

you want to know what the
"rutherfords" are really doing?

Well, Ken's at home
making Brandy

so he doesn't get his fifth dui.

Jake's in Nepal

becausethey don't
allow extradition at all.

Greg's leaving Teresa
for the babysitter,

and Kate's "wellness
business" is a Ponzi scheme.

I didn't have rhymes
for those, but you get it.

Yeah, I'm not saying
we're perfect, duz,

but we're pretty close.

I just... I want you to move on

from all this bullshit.

Our history is not bullshit.

I want more for you, Nathan.

I mean, you could do such
great things with your life.

Well, I just demolished
you in backgammon,

so that's a pretty cool
thing I did with my life.

And this triple b
is officially over.

This was not a good one.

Josh: Maggie's.
Reagan: Ew! Maggie's.

Oh, my gosh. I
completely blocked that

shitty bar out of my memory.

The women's bathroom there

was a straight-up
human rights violation.

Yeah, I know,
because I had to clean it

when I worked there
as a barback.

No. Oh, you're gross now.

I now find you
gross. Agreed, yeah.

Hey, if we were there
at the same time,

we might've, like,
seen each other.

Mmm. Or just been like, "hey."

Is that how you
talked back then?

Oh, no, I was doing you.

That was you. Ah. Nice.

Because if you were
drinking at Maggie's,

you know, chances are
you're probably pretty angsty.

No. I mean,

I did smoke cloves.

And I had this neutral
milk hotel t-shirt

that had a huge hole
under the arm...

You know what? Fair shot.

I was maybe angsty.

You would not have liked me.

An idealist studying journalism,

capital j.

I had this vision of how
my career was gonna go,

which, uh, has very much
not panned out.

I got a master's
in museum studies,

and you'd think I would
be working at a museum,

not a casino.

You run a cultural center.

Isn't that, like,
pretty close to a museum?

You don't know what
a cultural center is.

Why don't you show me?

The cultural center?

Yeah. Take me there, right now.

It's an amazing idea.
And I still have

nine minutes.

Shit. Ah...

That's the last train.

Wow. You are, like,
obsessed with this train.

My mode of transportation home,

yeah, I... yes.

I want to ride the choo-choo.

Wow, okay, so you'rejust
openly bullying me now?

Well, it's working.

Uh, tell you what.

I will skip the train if you
take me to the cultural center.

All aboard.

Idonthave avamtmng uh-huh.

Idont ibeheveyou.

Uh, this is a wedding basket.

Okay. When a
couple gets married,

each family fills it
up with gifts.

It used to be squash
and tobacco.

Now it's, like, iPads,

and chipotle gift cards. Oh.

The couple swaps

and delivers them
to the other's family.

You're, like, way better at this

than the other museum.

Well...

I think I would want

a Nintendo switch in mine.

Ooh, nerd alert. Yeah. Whoops.

I meant something more grown-up

like a roth ira.

Is it i-r-a or ira?
It's not ira.

It's not?

Well...

I had this really beautiful

abalone necklace in mine.

Oh. You're married?

Oh, no, I... it fell apart.

Ichose a different route.

Specifically i-90 west.

This is actually
the basket that I was

supposed to deliver
to the groom's family.

You were a runaway bride,

like that movie
runaway bride. Wow.

Long time ago. I'm very over it.

So, let's, uh, move on.

You know, maybe
there's a story in this place.

The cultural center? Yeah, sure.

I mean, think about it.

Wedged in the middle
of a casino,

the site of the most
base human instincts...

Reagan Wells

carves out a space
to honor her culture.

It's incredibly inspiring.

Sort of like
a cultural powder keg.

Okay, maybe less talking

and more of the other thing.

Man.

This is a pretty
amazing dining room.

They don't make them
like this anymore, right?

Yeah. That's good wood.

Uh, listen, Nathan, I'm...

I'm really sorry
about yesterday.

I just... I want you
to have your own life.

I know, duz. I get it.

And...

I just think I have my own life.

It's not like I've
never thought about

life outside of rutherford falls

and what that might look like.

Look, I promise
that I will consider

the very remote possibility

of selling my museum
and buying this house,

if you promise to watch

the very persuasive video
that I just emailed you.

Well, that's a deal.
Come here, brother.

Nathan: Hey, big b.
It's little b.

You know, I think the reason
I love this house so much

is just because you and I have

so many incredible
memories here.

With that in mind,

I want to send you
on one last treasure hunt.

Step one, go to the spot
where we found that mouse's

feet and tail and no body.

Yuck.

Now, walk down the stairs

where I fell and broke my nose

and you calmed me down
by telling me

you'd collect all the blood
and put it back in my body.

Nathan: Liar.

And now take three steps forward

and turn to the right.

I just want you to know that

I want what's best
for you, too, duz.

And if you think
selling this house

is the right thing to do,

even though
it's been in our family

for hundreds of years,

then I support you,

because you're my
brother and I love you,

even if you're a fart face.

Nathan rutherford?

Yeah. Hey, um, sorry,

we're not open yet.
You've been served.

Two hot coffees.
What's going on there?

Oh, nothing.

Here you go.

Mmm, it's not bad.

It's no coffee lab, but...

Oh, god, nothing is.

Uh, sorry, not sorry
you came all this way

and didn't get your story.

Yeah, me too. Sorry, not sorry.

Yeah.

You know, the ride's
not that long to the city.

Just sort of putting
that out there,

kind of like a public
service announcement.

That's good information to know

incaseone would
want to... Reagan.

Oh, hey haveyouseenthb?

I'm being sued
by the minishonka nation!

They're using
the big Larry contract

as evidence against me.

How does that even...
Okay, let's just hold on.

How do you... wow!

Oh, shots have been fired.

Yeah, I'm ready for war here.

This is... I mean, if you...

Hi, I'm sorry.
I'm Nathan rutherford.

Uh, Josh. I'm
actually a reporter.

Well, Josh the reporter,

hope you like big stories
'cause you just landed

on a frickin'... powder keg?

Yes. A powder keg!

I like this guy.

Why are you wearing my
great aunt ida's birthday t-shirt?
