Governor McMaster
will be in the Lowcountry tomorrow

to award South Carolina's
highest civilian honor,

the Order of the Palmetto,

to former 14th district solicitor

and Hampton County's own
Randolph Murdaugh III.

The Murdaughs
are a South Carolina legal dynasty

with roots dating back to the 1800s.

Randolph Murdaugh served two decades
as solicitor for the 14th circuit.

And he is currently working

in the family's law firm with his sons,
Randy and Alec.

Dating back 100 years...

Look at that handsome man
on my television.

I clean up okay.

Someday, it's gonna be you
gettin' that award.

[Alex] You gonna throw a big party
after that ceremony, too?

[sighs] Let me get through this one first.

Okay.

[Gloria] You heard from Paul?

His truck wasn't there
when I arrived this morning.

Don't think he came home last night.

Lord knows.

[♪ country music playing on truck radio]

[dog barking]

Oh, no.

Oh.

Hey, what, you playing chicken
with trees now?

I just, uh, ran off the road
a little last night.

-Were you drinking?
-Is the sky blue?

You know, this boy's gone through
more vehicles at 19

than I have my whole life.

You keep messin' around like that,

you're gonna win yourself
another drinking ticket.

I'm gonna get
some hydrogen peroxide for that cut.

Thanks, Go-Go.

[Alex] [laughing] Jesus Christ, dude.

-Oh, my God.
-[Maggie] Hey, hey, hey.

You.

I'm glad you're okay.

[Alex sighs]

Hey, you still want
to try the new rifle later?

I took that out for a spin this morning
with Bruce and John Marvin.

Oh. Thought we were
breaking it in together.

Yeah, it fires like a dream. Give it a go.

[music ends]

[Alex] Y'all know me. I'm an honest man.

What we're after, what I'm after,

to be blunt,

is money.

Oh, yeah.

One-point-one million dollars of it,
specifically.

Whew!

That's some nice change there, right?

I mean, I certainly think so.

But let me ask you...

is there really a price we can put
on what Mr. Alvarez has lost?

He ain't ever gonna go
for a walk on the beach again.

He ain't gonna feel that sand
between his toes.

He won't ever be able to...

To dance with his baby girl, Rosa,

when she finally gets married one day.

I mean, that's all gone.

It's gone forever.

Now when you or me or...

When we see a red light, we stop.

I mean, those being the rules and all.

But, I mean, that driver who worked
for the defendants, well, he just--

He just up and decides, "Well, hell,
those rules don't apply for me."

He runs that red light, and boom!

T-bones Mr. Alvarez, and here we are.

My daddy...

has this old saying.

"Son," he says...

"just 'cause you don't want to pay a bill

doesn't mean it ain't due."

Yeah.

♪♪

Looking good, Red.

-Hi!
-Oh, yeah, you know it.

Get out of the way, my friend.

Here you go. Oh, don't you...

-[laughs]
-Come on.

After you.

Where are we on discovery?

We're scheduling depositions as we speak.

-Who's the officer on that? Ellis?
-[door opens]

Who here is ready to shuck
some oysters tomorrow?

Huh? Give me a show of hands, come on!

You know I ain't missing
a Miss Maggie party.

Don't be giving her
all the credit, though.

I'm the one writin' the checks.

-[laughter]
-Oh, too slow. Here you go.

So, uh, how'd closing go, Big Red?

I lined 'em up and knocked 'em dead.

Defense finished strong, though.

If I'm on that jury,

I'm thinking long and hard
about your client's DUIs.

That was years ago, Randy.

And he was field-tested at the scene.

-How many are we talkin'?
-Three, wasn't it?

Four.

Just got his license back
not three months before the accident, too.

Any of my other cases
you want to give your thoughts on?

Maybe you want to check my homework.

All I'm saying is 400,000
is a strong settlement offer,

given the circumstances.

Ain't even a third
of what the assessors landed on.

I mean, we're talkin' about a man
who won't ever walk again, Randy.

And last I checked,
you ain't managing partner.

Leaving a case like this
to the jury is a dice roll.

Bird in the hand and all.

Anyway, we will see what we see.
Moving on.

[♪ dramatic acoustic music playing]

Hey, little brother.

Do me a favor, bo.

Next time you want to give
your thoughts on my cases,

fuckin' don't.

Uh, Alec, Mrs. Liferidge is here.

-Uh, assisted living--
-[Alex] I know.

I was just offering my opinion.

You knew what you were doin'.

-Ooh, now you're talkin'.

But you can't possibly
do all of that tonight.

Oh. Of course, I can.

Give me something to do
while I catch up on Days of Our Lives.

-Hey, Daddy.
-[Alex] Hey, Mama. Hey, GoGo.

[Gloria] Oh.

[Maggie] Sheila got a facelift.

-[Alex] Yeah?
-Said it hurts like Hades,

but damned if she doesn't look
a decade younger.

[Alex] Well, I hope the pain was worth it.

Just leave it on the hanger.
I'll get it before I go.

But, you know, seeing what
she looked like 10 years ago,

that ain't saying much.

Can you unzip me?

Yeah. [sighs]

What, bad news with the trial?

No. No, the, uh--

No, the jury's deliberating.

-Then who pissed on your grits?
-Fuckin' Randy pissed in my grits, Mama.

He questioned me
in front of Daddy and the partners.

Randy's jealous of you.

You've got charm, charisma.

Randy has whatever
that thing is Randy has.

Randolph had your back, though, right?

Hell, no, he didn't.
He didn't even say good job.

Basically took Randy's side.

I don't like Daddy
leanin' on Randy so goddamn much.

Honey, Randolph's got the ceremony
on his mind, that's all.

Hmm.

Remember this song?

-Surfside Beach Pier.
-Mm-hmm.

Boy, do I remember.

"has been accepted.

-Yes, sir.
-Buster Boy!

Come on, I mean it. Get over here.

-[Maggie] Oh, yes.

Aunt Marian, he got those Branstetter
brains from y'all's side of the family.

Mm-hmm. What did he get from y'all's side?
Red hair?

Them dashing good looks, didn't he?

-He got them dashing good looks.
-[laughs] Oh.

Pretty sure that's from
our side of the family, too.

Don't be mean. He got most of it from us,
but Alec has his moments.

-Moments.
-I got my moments, do I?

[laughs]

Bus.

That belonged to your great-granddaddy.

It already belonged to one Buster.

Now one day, it's gonna be yours.

Maybe he doesn't want
to be solicitor, though.

[Alex] Well, maybe he does.

Maybe he's gotta follow
in his family's footsteps.

Maybe he's gotta be like his old man.

Aren't you an assistant solicitor?
Did you, uh, get a promotion?

Yeah, he rides around with that badge
and blue lights like he's for real.

-Oh! Oh, that's right.
-[cell phone vibrates]

-Yeah.
-I ought to pull you over and book you.

[Paul Murdaugh]
Yeah, you gotta catch me first.

[Alex] For bein' a little jackass.

[Paul] For being sexy as hell.

Yeah, that's right,
a cheeky little jackass right here.

Hey, why is he calling you?

-[phone buzzing]
-Beat your ass.

He's helping me out with the new business.

What new business?

What's shakin', bo?

Hey, bo, we got ourselves a problem.

-What's up?
-How fast can you get on over here?

All right, I'm gonna

-I gotta go.
-Where are you goin'?

-Well, something's up.
-With Eddie?

Whatever that lowlife wants
can surely wait.

He's my cousin, Mags.

Uh, Maggie, call from the caterer.

I'll be right there.
Hey, we got family here.

-They ain't gonna miss me none.
-You're gonna be out till sunrise.

What do you want me to do, Mags?

Huh?

Why? You think he's taking it again?

I don't know.

You think he's okay?

[Gloria] Yeah, he seems like
his good old normal self to me.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

-Oh, good.

Is that your big guy over there?

-Yes, sir.
-All right, then.

Hey. Alec Murdaugh,
assistant solicitor with the 14th circuit.

Appreciate y'all waiting.

Doug Brailsford, county director.

Hey, Doug.
You down from Greenville, right?

-[Doug Brailsford] That's correct.
-Pleasure to meet you, bo.

This sumbitch say
I can't even go on my own boat.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, it's okay.

He's new here.

I think what we got here
is our wires are a little crossed.

See, our permit with the county is pending
but in the meantime,

Gary Brock told me personally
that we're good to go.

This is coming directly from me,
Mr. Murdaugh.

Now, a pending permit
is not an approved permit.

And until it is, you all cannot
operate here legally.

Now I need you to stop
what you're doing immediately

and I need you to release everything
you got out on the boat--

Damn near one ton of jellyfish
sittin' right there,

okay, ready for distribution tomorrow.

I mean, you shut all of us down,

well, you're gonna leave us
with our dick in our hands.

I can see how this
is an inconvenience for you all,

but laws are laws.

This is nothing personal.

I mean, come on.

What if I just say "screw y'all,"
and we just keep on operating anyway?

What you gonna do about it?

I wouldn't do that if I were you,
Mr. Murdaugh.

[chuckles]

Shut it down.

[Eddie] All right, shut her down!

You know, you would ask,

"What is the deal
on that Randolph Murdaugh?"

And they'd say,
"Oh, he is a good ol' boy."

And, you know, that means something.

It means you're someone
you can count on in times of need.

Let me tell you, good ol' boys
don't come any more good

than Randolph Murdaugh III.

-Or old.
-[laughter]

For 20 years until he retired in 2006,

Randolph delivered justice
to the 14th district

of South Carolina,

like his daddy and his granddaddy
did before him,

all the way back to 1920.

That's right, 1920.

With him today is his gorgeous wife Libby,

his graceful daughter Lynne,

three strapping sons,
Randy, Alec, and John Marvin,

and what looks like about 300 grandbabies.

[Randolph laughs]

It is my tremendous honor

as the governor of the fine state
of South Carolina

to present the Order of the Palmetto

to my good ol' friend,

Randolph Murdaugh III.

-Mr. Governor.
-Oh, yeah!

[Randolph Murdaugh]
Appreciate you being here.

[camera shutters click]

Well, what do you think?

Pretty as a picture.

Sometimes I wonder
why I even throw these parties.

Oh, come on. You love doing this.

I love having it done.

-[both laugh]
-That is not the same thing.

Oh.

[gasps]

Ooh, what has he gone and done now?

"For the hardest-working lady I know.

All my love, Big Daddy."

Aw.

[gasps] Lookit!

Hope he doesn't think
he can buy himself out of trouble.

It was a year ago.

It was a fling.

He knows it was wrong.

What was she again, a real estate agent?

She moved back to Charleston.
They don't speak anymore.

Have you forgiven him?

I have.

Yes, I have.

Alec was not himself.

All those painkillers he was on.

I mean, truth be told,

we came out the other side of that mess.

[sighs] We survived.

And we are stronger for it.

You've taken care of Alec his whole life.

You just make sure
you're taking care of yourself, too.

Tell me one more time why one of you boys
didn't take over solicitor for the old man

when he hung it up way back when.

Seems like the kind of tradition
worth keeping.

Well, don't look at me.

Alec was the one
that's supposed to follow Daddy.

Oh, don't look at me, huh?

And I would have, hell,
if there'd been more goddamn money in it.

I got mouths to feed.

I still work some cases
with Duffie and the boys, though.

Not like sitting in the big chair,
though, huh, Randolph?

Well, that's how Alec wanted it.

Well, Duffie's keeping the seat warm
until Bus here is ready to take over.

Ain't that right, Duffie?
Ain't that right, Bus?

I think you're probably safe
for a couple more years, Mr. Duffie.

All right, here we go.

Anthony and Connor and me are taking
the girls out on the boat tonight.

All right, go on. Wind that back, Randy.

-Really?

Please, yes.
She's just gonna be poppin' them out.

They've gotta go somewhere.

You coming?

Well, if he is, you can have him.

"You may fool the whole world

[Randy] Alright, look alive, Buster.

[Alex]
Alvarez defense wants to talk settlement.

What did I tell you, Randy?

Running scared already, huh?

Oh, you know it.

Well, good luck.

[line ringing]

Hey, where are you goin'?
Listen in, see how it's done.

Go on, sit down.

[line connects]

Lester, you got Randolph,
Randy and Alec here.

[Lester] [on phone]
Congrats, Randolph. Well deserved.

Get to it, Lester.
We got oysters to shuck.

[Lester] All right, listen, we don't see
the point of letting the jury

drag this thing out more than need be.

So what? You gonna pay the full 1.1

that you should've
in the first damn place?

- [Lester] Not quite.
-So, what's the offer, Lester?

[Lester] Six hundred.

-[laughs]
-All right, now I'm gonna say 9,

you're gonna say 650,

and then we'll be here all night
chasing each other's tails.

So why don't we just cut the fussin'
and go ahead and call it 750?

[Lester]
Seven-fifty sounds doable.

But listen,
this thing is a Cinderella offer.

It turns pumpkin at midnight.

We're willing to see
what the jury comes back with.

You're gonna hear from us, Lester.
You can count on it.

[disconnects call]

What's going on?

That's 350,000 more dollars
than the last offer.

That's 350,000 less
than what the jury's gonna give us.

Come on, we got
their pants down over a barrel.

Their asses fuckin' know it.

Don't matter. We're taking it.

I mean, Daddy, you heard him.
He's shitting cinder blocks.

Could be. Still, we're taking it.

-Well, I'm not.
-Pardon?

No, you heard me. I ain't takin' it.
I got a responsibility to my clients.

I ain't some Podunk juror, son.

Now the only responsibility
you got in this world

is to this firm and this family.

Now, you accept the offer.

We put 750,000 on the books

on a bum case and put away the plow,

because we're calling it a day.

No, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's-- What's going on here, okay?

You-you-you-- First of all, you let him
poke his nose into my cases,

and now you let him
railroad me on my settlements?

Something ain't right, goddamn it.
What is it?

I'm hangin' it up.

-When?
-End of summer.

You knew this.

[Randolph] He did. Now you do, too.

-Who's gonna be the managing partner?
-Don't know.

Now call Lester.

Tell him we got a deal.

Congrats, little brother.
