Original subtitles

Woman: Let the weight of your day rise up

and fade into the background.

Take a deep breath in...

And out.

Relax.

Nathan.

Oh, they've sent a helicopter?

Here we go.

Yeah. Looks like the bia to me.

Nathan: Oh, my god. That was the coolest landing.

And it's right where I would've put it.

Nathan, this is bill caring and his legal team.

Hi. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Uh, let me get you up to speed.

A couple of weeks ago... You know what?

I'm backing up further. 1638, there was a...

Hi, folks.

Welcome to minnetonka nation.

Follow me.

Yeah. Okay.

Okay, walk and talk.

Too much, Terry.

That's what I'm talking about.

They can feel guilty and jealous.

Hi, there.

Come on in. Check it out.

We also have advanced technology.

Canoes are basically the helicopters of water.

Josh: Is there really a helicopter out there?

Who's the high roller?

Probably Johnny Depp looking to get adopted again.

Rutherford inc.

I am so ready for this.

Uh-huh. Yeah. I'll let you know how it goes.

We're still very ready.

We're just doing it out here.

Okay.

Beau: I hope you don't mind, we brought all hands on deck.

We wanted to make sure

we were giving you our full attention.

Wonderful.

Mr. Thomas, let's be straight.

You're asking for an obscene amount of money

on shaky grounds.

Your lawsuit is absurd.

Mr. Caring, this isn't Terry's lawsuit.

This is a contract ongafion

to a sovereign nation that's gone unfulfilled.

Thank you, chairwoman.

Respectfully Ms. Cook,

according to existing Indian commissioned settlements,

the statute of limitations on this issue is clearly up.

Oh good. Someone read federal Indian law for dummies on the way over.

Actually, took a few Indian classes in law school.

I prefer you not say that word.

What, Indian?

Said it again.

Can we, uh... can we just get back on track, please?

Okay, but I'm not...

I'm not racist.

I mean, hejust said federal Indian.

No. But the actual term is literally "federal Indian."

Terry: Jess, are you taking the minutes?

I'd love to get a record of how many times

opposing counsel has said that word.

Yeah, so far, they've said it five times.

Can I help you? I need to see Terry right away.

And what is this regarding?

I'm supposed to say that.

It's regarding the giant helicopter

that just buzzed past my office and parked here.

I need to know what's happening.

Nathan: Good luck with that.

Terry is in a very exclusive meeting.

Even I couldn't get in, so, you do the math.

Bobbie: I actually do have to get back to school.

Really, again? You just went yesterday.

All right, get out of here.

Check it out.

Sixty people signed up for the email list.

Oh!

Oh. Suckit@suckit.Com is probably fake,

nice. But the rest of these look pretty good to me.

Mona: Reagan, is it?

Yes. Hi.

I really like your little museum here.

Thank you.

You make me proud, my girl.

Oh, and that young guns exhibit,

I would have let Lou diamond Phillips fool me.

Josh: Thanks for stopping by.

She seemed nice.

Did you see that?

Her hands were so soft, So wise.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

What's... what's going on?

An elder is proud of me.

You probably wouldn't understand this, but that was huge.

You saw how slow she walked.

She probably looks at three things a year, and she came here.

This is the best day of my life.

Whoa! Hey, hey!

Congratulations.

Yeah. Thank you.

You know, my hands may not be very wise,

but they are very soft,

and I'm very proud of you.

Thank you.

They are soft.

Oh.

Oh, my gosh, I have to tell Nathan that I saw Mona.

He is obsessed with her.

This will cheer him up.

He's probably freaking out. Poor guy.

Yeah, totally.

Terry: I'm confused.

You claim the actions of Nathan rutherford

have no connection with rutherford inc.

But on the other hand...

Nathan: Don't poke that bear.

Do you catch my drift?

I'm talking about rutherford inc, Terry.

Who has two thumbs and a seat on the corporate board?

This guy.

Um, excuse us a moment.

I am so ready to be a part of this process.

Whatever you need.

We need you to say you were lying to Terry

and that you have no legitimate affiliation to rutherford inc.

Like sarcastically or...

Nathan, we've been over this.

You're an honorary, nonvoting member of the board.

And cultural ambassador.

Okay, that's a title that you invented

that I've allowed you to keep

because it's easier than reminding you to stop.

This lawsuit relies on the connection

between your actions and the liability of our company.

We need you to sever that tie.

Mmhmm. Well, I can't say I'm not affiliated with my life's work.

Nathan, this case could be tried in a federal court.

There will be investigations.

It could be very bad.

I know you love your family.

Well, this is the only way to help them right now.

So, what do you say?

Can you help us help your family?

"And whereas my museum does receive funds

"on an annual basis from rutherford inc,

"it is in no way payment or investment,

"but merely an example of corporate generosity."

You know,

As old buford rutherford used to say about generosity.

Actually, he didn't say it.

He wrote it because he lost his larynx in a saloon fight.

But...

Yeah, that's...

That's a great story for another time.

"While rutherford inc. Began

"as a family business hundreds of years ago,

"the company has changed over time,

"and so have the hands of power.

"I am not an employee...

"Board member or shareholder of rutherford inc.

"In regards to my connection to rutherford inc..."

"And all of its subsidiaries,

"it is more accurate to say that I am nothing.

"I am no one."

I would also like to state for the record

that my heart is broken.

Okay, let's break for lunch.

Rutherford incorporated, started by Lawrence rutherford.

His life is proof that the American dream is achievable.

Because, if he could start with nothing

and build a fair and honest empire,

50 can anyone.

It'd be a damn shame if something happened

to your squeaky clean narrative

that your entire brand is based on.

Sorry to be tardy to the party

butwhen luck be a lady,

I cannot stop rolling those dice.

Who is this?

Uh, professor Tobias Kaufman, decorated scholar

and author of a book about my family's history.

I have been called upon to be a character witness.

Yes, awesome.

Uh, sorry.

By who?

By me.

Please, professor, would you tell everyone the name of your book?

The rutherfords. How robbers, rogues and rascals

wrestled riches from the rest of us.

What? No. I like the old title.

Chapter one. "Pillagers and Indians."

Chapter two. "A fair and honest massacre."

Terry: My personal favorite.

How the rutherford's helped hide fdr's secret shame babies.

Enough.

Terry: Lwonder what's gonna happen when this book comes out.

I remember subway stock nosedived

after the Jared fogle scandal

I wonder how many Jared's are in here.

This doesn't make any sense.

It's totally different from the version I read.

Both books are true.

One a pristine finished sausage.

The other a stinky meat grinding affair.

How could you take Terry's side on this?

Oh, my boy, I take the side of history.

The minnetonka press has agreed to publish my Magnum opus,

so my dream will be a leather bound reality.

Also, I owe the casino $80,000.

So we're supposed to believe that a self-published book by a drunk

is going to sink the company's stock.

Terry: You're right.

Probably won't tank the stock.

Might ding it, though. A little ding, one percent.

What's 1% of 48 billion?

Plus whatever your client spends on legal costs

when we drag this out for a decade.

What do you want?

Something that was ours to begin with.

Okay.

That's a lot of land.

Most of which is undeveloped.

And rutherford inc. Owns this land?

Yes, and we're willing to buy it.

And the lawsuit.

Professor Kaufman's scorched earth version of the book,

your PR nightmares, gone.

My Magnum opus shelved?

It's my everything.

It's my raison d'etre.

You'll still be paid.

Well, the journey was the destination.

Do you do direct deposit?

Of course.

Okay, so I didn't quite notice this at first,

because this map is not quite to scale.

But that land includes the rutherford falls heritage museum

a.k.a. My house.

So I'm sorry, Terry. It's gonna be a hard pass.

Let us confirm with our client.

I'm right here. I do not confirm.

You are not the client.

You have no affiliation with us. Remember?

Just let us confirm.

You have 24 hours.

Reagan: How's our boy?

He's changing the bands inside the old saw mill.

It's bad.

When sawmills malfunction, people die.

He spent the day reading Kaufman's book.

Oh, no.

I brought chains.

And I think I may have figured out a way to save your museum.

You should paint the church orange.

I think it would be better if it were orange.

Dumb idea, also illegal.

And why is that?

Because it's an historical landmark and you can't...

Oh, my god! You're a genius.

We gotta make this house a church.

Start a rutherford religion.

I'm on it. What? No.

We've got to get this place designated a historic landmark.

Then no one can touch it.

I've tried that dozens of times.

For big Larry.

But this is a very old house with a million stories.

We just need documentation that something really big happened here.

That's super easy.

I mean, there was the waltz competition of 1924.

There was the potato salad party.

Also, this is crazy.

Houdini stopped by here one time to use the bathroom.

Got locked in the bathroom.

Is that something? Okay. Not big enough?

We're thinking of something very big.

Like, didn't you say that presidents used to meet here.

Yeah, but that was just for, like, a meal

or some rhubarb pie or whatever.

Soundshke president Roosevelt

passed through for a different kind of pie.

That is slander, Bobbie. Wait, wait, wait.

What are they talking about?

Well, according to Kaufman's book,

which is full of lies,

president Roosevelt had a love child in this house.

Bobbie: Two children.

According to Kaufman, this place used to be

a den of glorious bacchanaha.

Maybe we should get the president Roosevelt chair cleaned.

Are you kidding? This is actually perfect.

There would be birth records. Do you have them?

No, Reagan. I don't have them

because that neverhappened. And they don't exist.

But if they did, they'd be in storage

at my great aunt Jones.

I am living for how messy this family is.

You just weren't gonna tell me your plan

to take part of my town.

"Buy" part of your town.

My people don't steal land. That's your thing.

My thing?

Sorry, I deal with white people all day.

That line usually works. Look, I should have called.

It's just

Not calling you was much easier for me at the time.

I thought we had an understanding.

I would respect your position and you would respect mine.

You're right. I apologize.

There's an election coming up.

And voters like it when you leave

with as much town as you started with.

Kind of mayor 101. So how am I...

Let's stop playing games.

We both want what's best for the people we serve.

And sometimes those interests are at odds.

You're not some sad, wounded bird.

You'd have done the exact same thing if you were in my shoes.

Well, your shoes are combat boots, Terry.

Because you just started a war.

That was a good line to leave with.

See, you're still in the game.

Joan: Here we go. Nathan: Oh! Let me help you.

Let me help you with that. No, no I got it.

No, I got it. No, Nathan. I...

It's heavy.

You're hurting my wrist.

Okay. Just let go, okay.

Well, we had coffee on the way over, anyway, so...

So, why are you here to visit me, Nathan?

Okay, I am here because we really need to get a gander

at the family heirlooms in your carriage house.

We've been over this a dozen times.

You1lhaveitah oncel_.

I know, I know, and I'm happy to wait for you to die for most...

You're happy?

No, we obviously hope that

that never ever happens, right, Nathan?

Yeah, of course. I mean, not never.

Immortality is a terrible burden.

Just ask Dracula.

Not that you're a vampire. I...

Look, we just really need to get in there this time.

The fate of the family depends on it.

That's what you said when you were 12.

You asked to borrow grandpa Gerald's quill pen

to write a book report.

You've said it a dozen times since then.

That does sound like you.

Now, if that's all, I have some judge Judy to watch.

Ooh.

Nathan won't bother you for a year.

A whole year. No requests, no visits.

No e-mails.

Just family newsletters.

Especially those family newsletters.

Whoa!

You rutherfords sure do love your stuff.

Nathan: Yeah. Okay.

You start in that corner.

I'll start over here.

Keep your eyes peeled for anything

that screams secret birth records.

Where are you gonna put all this stuff once you do get it?

Uh, I'll tell you.

Some place with better climate control

and a lot less spiders.

It's really a disservice to history

that she's storing this stuff like this.

Oh, my god, grandpa Gerald's dentures.

I've been asking her about this for years.

Why? I knew she was lying.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

You gotta see this.

What is it? What you got?

Oh! It's literally a treasure trove of minnetonka culture.

Those corn house dolls must be from the 18005.

Nathan: Wow.

Oh, my god. Reagan: I know.

The thing is... uh...

When... once judge Judy what?

Hands down her rulings,

like, my great aunt is going to be all over us again.

Yeah, if we could just...

Yeah, right.

We'll just keep looking for your stuff, I guess.

Yes, thank you.

Maybe hit that file cabinet. That looks promising.

I'm going to hit these bankers boxes.

Right.

Who knows what we'll find.

Reagan: You should have seen it.

There were com husk dolls.

There was pottery, wedding baskets,

strawberry baskets, all the baskets.

My god, your people love baskets.

Okay, it's less that we love baskets

and more that it's an important part of our culture.

Also, don't say "your people."

I'm sorry. I only have the bandwidth

to be pissed at one white guy today.

And I'm grateful for that.

It's just crazy,

like, that is our stuff,

and it's sitting in the garage of his great aunt

gathering dust next to an old treadmill.

There was wampum.

The fact that I didn't just grab that stuff and run

Should get me banished.

You're not saying anything?

Right.

Because this is all stuff that you want to say to Nathan.

But I am here to listen

and provide you with mozzarella sticks.

But you should talk to him.

Yeah, I don't know.

He's just not really in a place

where he could hear me right now.

And especially because we didn't find the Roosevelt thing.

Huh. Okay.

What?

I've heard you say, "huh, okay" before.

Like that time that I told you

that my cable sometimes only works

for whatever channel the bacheloris on.

It just kind of seems like Nathan's always going through something.

I mean, I've met the guy twice

and both times you were pushing your thing aside

to focus on him.

Oh, my god.

That's not mine. It was here when we sat down.

What?

Oh, god.

Nathan: Hey, Kaitlyn, wait.

Hey! Sorry I'm late.

I did everything in my power, but I could not prove

that Roosevelt had a love child in my house.

What? Yeah, I know, right?

Just tell me you guys came up with a plan.

Kaitlyn: We did.

Great, what?

The plan is to take the deal.

If it helps, we surveyed the land and it's unfrackable.

Well, great grandpa Lawrence,

I'm sorry I failed you.

You too, cousin Theodore.

Apologies.

Oh, cousin Cyrus.

You have such hatred in your eyes for me,

which I never understood.

Until now, because I deserve it.

What's that Phineas? You think I'm great?

Aw, thank you.

Let's be honest. You've always been

kind of the Ringo of this wall.

Reagan: Talking to the wall guys?

Would they mind if I cut in for a chat or...

Guys, everyone shut up. It's Reagan.

Do you want some mulled wine?

It's really good. It's like liquid jolly rancher.

I'm probably not gonna finish this bottle.

Second bottle.

You're pickled.

You know how people say

that saying "life isn't fair"?

So, it's funny 'cause I always thought that was bullcrap.

I was always like, "life's pretty fair,"

you know, if you think about it.

But now I get it.

Like I get it, really get it.

Life, not always fair.

And that sucks.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, buddy, I feel that.

How is this even legal?

This is america, right?

I'm a United States American.

So there's got to be something in the constitution like land, right?

And about how everything that is happening to me right now sucks.

I mean...

Isn't this the most unfair thing that has ever happened?

Nathan, I'm gonna reach out to great aunt Joan

and ask her to return her minnetonka collection to my nation.

I will be honest, I was just waiting to talk.

Can you say that again?

Okay, I can get that you're, like, not in a place

where you can hear this right now, but...

It's something I have to do, and I would love your support.

It's all languishing in the carriage house.

You said so yourself.

And when great aunt Joan dies, you get everything.

And you would give me the minnetonka items, right?

Just like I would do for you if I came into some awesome rutherford stuff.

Yes. Sure. Of course. I guess.

This will transform my cultural center.

And all that stuff belongs to my people.

Your people are trying to steal my home.

My people are trying to steal your home?

Yeah. Look...

I want nothing more than to give you all those things.

Like...

But you work at the casino, which is run by Terry.

And guess what?

He is the literal devil.

Well, as long as you're being rational

and correctly using the term literal...

Why are you even bringing this up right now?

You're being a total uncle Tom.

Excuse me.

My great uncle, Thomas rutherford died in 1888,

widely considered to be the biggestjerk that has ever lived.

Okay, I get it.

Your life sucks right now

for maybe the first time ever.

But I'm yourfriend.

I'm asking you to please press pause on your drama

for one second and help me

just like I've done for you many times.

Reags, you know I love you.

And I would never get in the way

of something that you really want.

Except in this case where I would light myself on fire

before I give those items to Terry.

I'm hurting right now.

Why can't you see that? I'm hurting right now.

Why can't you see that?

Why is your history more important than mine?

I don't want to drink mulled wine with you right now.

Well, okay, I'm gonna go.

Reagan: Terry, wait up.

I'm in, for running lightning.

But in return, I want the budget

to make the cultural center the state-of—the-art facility our people deserve.

I think that's doable.

Come on, let's talk.

Okay.

Should I have asked for more?

Could I have gotten more?

Yes, but try not to focus on that.

Charlie: You should go home.

We'll find a way to tackle this Terry thing.

I'm good. Just finishing up.

You can go.

Okay. Good night.

It's Deirdre. Where are you?

Nathan: I'm in a very dark place.

Okay, butwhere physically are you?

I'm in what will soon not be my home.

I'm coming over.

We need to talk.
