All language subtitles for Rutherford.Falls.S01E08.

Reagan: Gotta say, those
economy seats feel a lot bigger

when someone else
is paying for them.

What?

Okay, I know you're used to it,

but I'm freaking pumped.

If I would've known that
there were travel perks,

I would havejoined the
dark side a long time ago.

Please. Stop calling your
own people "the dark side."

And remember, the goal of
attending this gaming conference

is to represent the casino.

Mmm-hmm. Totally.

Do you think that this suitcase

is big enough for all
of the free swag?

Terry, relax.

I am the poster child
for professionalism, okay?

Oh, my god,

is that for us?

Ah, act like you've
been in a car before.

Okay.

Do we tip you? Do we tip him?

Deirdre: Why is it so dark
in here?

Nathan: Because I'm hung over.

What do you want, chisenhall?

I have a multi-step plan

that can save the
town's land and yours.

Step one begins

when the town council
meets this week

to discuss big Larry.

Due to my advocacy,

they all want to move it.

I thought you were
gonna say a plan.

Just sounds like
you're dunking on me.

But now big Larry will stay put

as doing so

serves both of our interests.

It does? How?

Okay,

let's say this corral
is a town council meeting,

and I guess the horses
are the council.

Okay.

You're a pig.

Big Larry will stay put

because at the meeting

you'll make a "save the statue"

speech that is so
moving and eloquent

that I will suddenly
side with you.

Why would you do that?

When people see

that I've come around
to the statue,

our unlikely alliance

will create
an inspiring narrative

that people will want
to rally around.

Yeah.

People will be like,
"whoa, they're together.

"I wanna be a part of that."

And then, boom. Step two.

We flood the daily star

with pro-rutherford op-eds.

We host events at your museum

that gin up civic pride.

Bobbie cranks out the
memes and the hashtags.

We create a movement.
Us versus Terry.

And by the time his land
deal is up for final approval...

There's no way the town
will sign off on it.

That's a smart piggy.

Ah, I think of myself
as more of a rooster

crowing forjustice, but, uh...

This is a really good plan.

I know.

Mmm. I love that leather smell.

Don't mind if I do.

What?

Listen, we spent years
trying to work our way up

from a double-wide bingo
hall to a mid-tier casino,

but with this
rutherford land deal

happening so much
faster than I had intended,

we're in a position to
show these other nations

that we're leveling
up in a major way.

I'm so happy for you.
A reminder, though.

Idontlove your hedonistic
ayn rand fever dream.

What I'm saying is
you should think bigger.

Forget the swag.

You're about to meet the
most successful entrepreneurs

and philanthropists
across Indian country.

Nice.

Nathan. He feels bad.

I found a townes Van zandt cd

taped to my door with "if
I needed you" highlighted.

So much drama.

This is why it's not worth

being friends with white people.

Mmm.

We now move to discussion

of measure 347b,

removal of the big Larry
statue on county road.

First to speak will
be Nathan rutherford.

Here we go.

Good luck.

Members of the council,

mayor chisenhall,
my fellow citizens,

I have come here today
to say one thing.

The statue of
Lawrence rutherford,

is in the way.

What? There's just
no way to deny that.

Where is he going with this?

Nathan: But that's no surprise.

Lawrence rutherford has
always been in the way.

When king Charles ii imposed
unfair taxes on the colonies,

Lawrence rutherford
stood in his way,

rallying the town
against tyranny.

When the French refused
to trade with the minishonka,

Lawrence rutherford
stood in the way of bigotry,

penning the fair
and honest deal,

and thus founding
rutherford falls.

And so a statue was erected

on the exact spot
of that historic deal.

Now, I know, it's kind of
an awkward time for statues.

Many have been rightly removed.

They commemorated
questionable deeds,

but when a statue commemorates

the great deeds
of our ancestors,

mustn't we preserve that

as guidance
andinspuafion for our future?

Inspiration. Future.

Thank you, citizen.

And so big Larry stands

shoulders back, heart full,

proclaiming, "yes,
yes, I am in the way,"

and he should stay in the way

now and forever.

I yield my time.

Well, it's not yielding your
time when you use it all,

but quite the moving
speech, Mr. Rutherford.

Unfortunately, that
doesn't change the fact

that the statue's location
is an issue of public safety.

You know, ihavelong advocated

for the moving of this statue,

but perhaps I've been too rigid

in my thinking.

Walter: What are you
talking about?

I thought, we all...

Nathan's passion has moved me,

and if two people

from very different backgrounds

can come together in Harmony

on this issue,

well, isn't that
in itself a monument

to the resilience and
progress of our fair town?

Man: Yes.

Yes.

Very stirring words,
mayor chisenhall.

Walter: Different backgrounds?

I'm sorry. Didn't you guys
go to the same high school?

David: She's right.

We're all the same underneath.

I move, we take the
issue for further study.

Yeah.

Second.

Whoa. Nice
medallion, flavor flav.

Our people have an old saying,

"if you've got it, flaunt it."

Speaking of...

Oh, business cards?

What... what booth did you get
this at, and where can I find it?

Reagan, you are now

the associate director

of the running thunder casino.

Okay. Wow.

That is an important-sounding
title. Question.

Does this new job

come with a pay
increase and or bennies,

and what does an
associate director do exactly?

We'll work out
the details later,

but the short answer is,
no, no, and whatever I say.

Right now, I need you

to stop pocketing swag,

andlook professional.

Roy: Oh, my, Terry Thomas!

Great to see you. Congrats
on running lightning.

It's a big step for a
little minishonka nation.

Hmm.

Regan Wells, this is Roy crooks,

director of the spirit
pond resort and casino

in Minnesota.

Oh, that's the old name.

Now, we're the spirit
pond resort, casino,

indoor water park,
and dispensary.

Now folks can gamble,

get a little toasty,

and float down a lazy river.

Holy shit!

Roy: Hey, you doing
plyotronics yet?

I can give you the
number to our guy.

No need. We do our
plyotronics in-house.

Good for you.

See yous over there.

See yous in there.

What are plyotronics?

Noidea.

Googling it now.

Zero results.

Wow, that is cutting edge.

Nathan: All right, and
here we have a fine cabernet

from the finger lakes region.

This particular bottle
is one of 12

won by my great uncle,

James hatter rutherford,

in a game of old maid in 1964.

You know, I'd like
to propose a toast

to you, our mastermind.

We couldn't have done
this without your plan

and your ability to overlook

the rutherford-chisenhall feud.

Cheers. Cheers.

Well, you know what they say,

"the enemy of my enemy

"is my temporary
co-conspirator."

All righty.

Mmm.

And I have to give you credit.

That speech you gave
was impressive.

Oh, come on.

You know, I was just
speaking from the heart.

It's easy to be passionate
when you mean it.

All right.

What's your deal?

How is it that you care

this much about this stuff?

Hmm.

I want to show you something.

Deirdre: That's a butter knife.

Nathan: Is it? Or is it history?

Hmm.

In 1722,

Gregory chisenhall snuck
into the rutherford stables

in the dead of night,

and stole a prized thoroughbred.

He stole a horse?

That's why your family's
held this stupid grudge

all these years?

Well, no, it gets crazier.

So, Charles rutherford then
chased Gregory and the horse

all the way to lake placid.

A fight ensued,

and enraged, Charles
attempted to plunge

this knife into Gregory's chest.

Of course, this
being a butter knife,

it only left a bruise.

But you can see
here on the handle,

where it's splintered,

and Charles was actually hurt

worse than Gregory.

He got a terrible
infection, almost died

and thus began
the 300-year feud.

All because of a butter knife.

And a chisenhall...

And a rutherford...

Nathan: Good morning.

Oh, wow. Um...

Thanks for the wine
and et cetera,

but I should head out.

Iwlbeintouch
with the next steps.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Deirdre, just,

uh, stick around a little bit.

I mean, we can talk about
the plan or the weather.

Yeah, at least
have some breakfast.

Look at this.

Isuppose the damage is done.

That's the spirit! All right.

Hey, don't go in there.

It's the worst. It's so boring.

Oh. I think I'm supposed to.

I'm an associate director.

Us, too, but in
there, is two hours

of comparing notation apps.

Or you can come
and hang with us.

You guys coming in?

Hope you like ice breakers.

Yeah, we can't go in there.

We still need a solution for
the road around big Larry,

but if we keep the town
and council on our side

until Terry announces
his casino expansion...

Why are you still
smiling like that?

A rutherford and a chisenhall...

I mean, for the first
time in recorded history.

Stop.

This has never
happened before, Deirdre.

We walked on
the moon last night.

You're ridiculous,
and I'm leaving,

and I'm taking this biscuit.

Okay, um,

when am I gonna see you again?

Or, uh...

Will I see you again?

Maybe.

Hey, it's me, um...

Listen, I know
it's been a while,

and we're not really
talking right now,

but I had to call you
because, um,

I had sex with Deirdre
chisenhall last night,

and it was totally
amazing and awesome,

and I just felt like
you totally had to know,

and so, okay, call me back. Bye.

Soon, gaming will comprise

less than 30% of the
revenue for our nation.

Those who get stuck playing
the old games in the old ways

will simply get left behind.

Now I'd like
to take any questions.

Me. Excuse me.
I have a question.

Uh, when you say soon,

this is all, what, uh, 20
years away, maybe 30?

That's cute. No, these
projections are for 2023, so...

It's a good one, though, Terry.

Some of that
famous minishonka humor.

Laughter is medicine
for our people, so...

Deirdre: Morning, Charlie.

As your employee, it's not
appropriate for me to ask

why you're wearing the same
outfit as yesterday, so I won't.

I had sex with
Nathan rutherford.

Wha... what?

Uh, well, let's talk this out.

Oh, god, what have I done?

It's bad, isn't it?

This could be really good.

Your voters vote in the
town that shares his name.

Also, I like him.

The last guy was
not a full 9-11 truther,

but... uh, can we not?

I have to think on this.

In the meantime, I just pray

I can count on
Nathan's discretion.

Ah, I hooked up with
Deirdre chisenhall last night.

Yeah.

Tell me everything.

Okay. Uh, you
can't tell anybody.

Honestly. I'm not even sure

it's appropriate for me
to be telling you this,

but Reagan's not
answering my calls, so...

Spill, bitch!

Okay. All right.

It was totally unexpected.
She came over,

iopened a bottle of
cabernet... hatter rutherford's?

Yeah, natch.

And then next thing I know,
I'm making her breakfast.

Ah! This is incredible.

You're like an old
Hollywood couple,

like Shawn mendes
and Camila cabello.

Yeah, okay.

Things are really turning around

for Nathan rutherford
here, you know?

This is... this is good.

This feels really good.

We got to build
on this momentum.

Keep up the victim narrative,

so people stay
sympathetic to my cause.

Bingo.

We should get you a key.

Big Larry was
vandalized last night

and there's a bunch of crap
spray painted all over him

and the town is up in arms.

O-m-g.

Oh, for Christ's sake.

Nathan! It was Bobbie's idea.

Classic false flag operation.

Don't worry, nobody saw us,

and the enamel
washes off super easily.

It'll win over any townspeople
or council members

who are still on the fence.

And thus begins step two.

Galvanizing public opinion.

You've got some
moves, Mr. Rutherford.

Shall we discuss step three?

Well, that was unexpected.

Nice, but unexpected.

Yeah, I should get going.

I really want to make a big show

of cleaning up the statue.

I could show up.
Condemn the vandalism.

Listen to us, already scheming
like a political power couple.

Hmm, very house of cards.

Ooh!

You know, iwatched
two episodes of that.

Everybody was really
mean to each other.

Decided it wasn't for me.

I love the show bones, though.

Hmm. Oh.

My boss spent $4 million

of the tribes
profits on a yacht.

We live in Idaho.

Where does this moron
think he's sailing to?

Woman: How about you?
Any war stories?

Oh, no, I've only been an
associate director for 15 hours...

Hmm... and I'm using thisjob

to advance my
cultural center, so...

That's your Rick's honeymoon.

What?

My Rick's what-ing moon?

Woman: Rick was an ad
from years ago,

always saving up for
a honeymoon in Italy,

but he kept pushing it
off and putting it off and...

And we all have our versions.

And the only reason
I took this job

was to get me
through med school,

but that was 15 years ago?

Wow.

What about you guys?

Tribal language teacher.

Chemical dependency counselor.

Oh, god.

Look, ad is a
good gig. Be happy.

And Rick did eventually go
on that honeymoon, right?

He got divorced.

They never even got passports.

When we work together and
we share our unique ideas,

that's not only innovative,
but it's traditional.

I have to go
on Rick's honeymoon.

What?

Hold on. The next
presentation is about to begin.

Yeah. Thank you, Roy.

Allow me to present the newest

innovation in gaming.

Long ago, when money was new,

our people thrived

by selling our most
beautiful traditional art

to euro-American tourists.

That was then,

but the future is now.
Completely experiential,

our customers are limited
only by their imagination

and bank accounts.

Welcome to the
casino of tomorrow.

What in the name of
black mirror is this?

The defacement of
big Larry is an assault

to the very soul of our town.

Local authorities will
do everything they can

to catch the
culprits responsible.

You are one handsome devil.

Should have done
this a long time ago.

"Mal merde"?

Never seen that before.

Deirdre: Everything
okay up there?

Yeah.

Nathan: Thanks for meeting
with me, rayanne.

Let me show you what I found

etched into big Larry.

Rayanne: The first part's
in our language,

but this part...

Shit.

Wait, what? What does it say?

That's what it says.

Bad shit. "Mal merde".

Mal merde. Where have
I heard that before?

Well, it's a French
and Indian amalgam.

It was common back then
because of all the trading.

That's why so many of our
last names are so frenched up.

Okay, so what does
the whole phrase mean?

Thatsays, uh,

"don't trust mal-mer."

Yeah, over time, mal
merde became mal-mer.

The people say that a monster
came from across the ocean,

and made its home here

in the woodlands
of the minishonka,

wore the mask of a white man,

and pretended to be our friend.

And this was just,
like, local folklore?

Yes.

And this monster had
an insatiable appetite

for one thing.

The poop of children.

I'm just confused.

What does a
poop-eating forest creature

have to do with
Lawrence rutherford?

I hate to tell you this, Nathan,

but the legend of mal-mer

is actually about
Lawrence rutherford.

I'm serious.

He was a real bastard
to our people.

Lawrence sr. May not
have eaten poop,

but pardon my French,
he was a real shithead.

Yeah, no, that's...

Are you sure your
knowledge of your language

is accurate?

Yeah, sorry. I... I apologize.

That was...

Thank you for your candor.

Can't stop thinking about
this vr presentation.

It's so freaking messed up.

I know. That tech
will be obsolete

before they even make their nut.

So shortsighted.

Um, but mostly, it's super
tropey and stereotypical,

and it sets all of us back

by, like, 100 years, right?

Would I do a lone ranger
and Tonto thing?

Not my taste.

But a lot of westerns
were shot on navajo lands.

If it brings in profits,
who am I to judge?

Doesn't matter.
Casinos are over.

Now it's all marijuana
theme parks.

We'll never catch up.

Hey, you okay?

You're looking very
end-of-the-trail right now.

This was supposed
to be our victory dance,

but every time we
level up, so do they.

Bullshit.

"Every time we level up,

"so do they"?

Hey, I'm making big sacrifices

to join you on this,

not to watch you be a big baby.

I'm not going to give up,

and neither should you.

So what's it gonna be?

You gonna cry around
about it all day?

Or are you gonna suck
it up and be the badass

everyone knows you are?

Let's go then, Thomas.

Let's do this, Wells.

Yeah.

How exactly do we do this?

I actually don't know.

But this?

This is not leveling up, okay?

This is a native minstrel show,

and we can do better.

Does seem lucrative.

Terry, you hate it when white
people portray us like this.

Now we have
a little bit of power

and we're gonna do it
to ourselves?

Reagan.

You are a genius.

What's happening?

We have a lot of work to do.

Nathan: "The monster
was once a foreign friend

"to the people,

"but his greed for their harvest

"turned him
into a twisted beast.

"Mal-mer took everything
from the minishonka,

"and when they had
nothing left to give,

"he came for their feces?"

Jesus.

Ooh!

Nathan: Reags. Hey, there.

Hey, I've been
trying to reach you.

Sorry, I was traveling for work.

Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Where'd you go?

Well, I... we should begin.

There have been some
rifts historically and recently

among the people in this room.

But what if I told you

we could turn a large profit

for the minishonka nation,

employ every citizen
of rutherford falls,

allow Nathan to keep his home,

and settle the big Larry
issue once and for all?

I say you're full of it.

Yeah, what she said.

Fair enough.

But this idea comes straight

from my new associate director.

Reagan, take it away.

Wh... what?

Since when? Reagan:
Thank you, Terry.

He gives me too much credit.

Um, but I am thrilled

to announce
an exciting new chapter.

Rutherford falls is a
town defined by its history,

and that history
can benefit us all.

We present to you...

Ye olde rutherford village,

a cutting-edge
retail tourism community.

Terry: The entire town
center will be transformed

into 17th century
rutherford falls

with period costumes and shops,

just like colonial williamsburg.

Oh, my god.

Revamping the town will create

hundreds of new jobs,

as will the new and improved

running lightning
casino and resort.

Our future is our past.

There's only three
people on the east coast

that can make a
model this detailed.

Who did this? Was it Danielle?

Did Danielle make this?

Ramone?

Marshall?

Marshall? How could you?

Isang at your wedding.

You want to change
the name and civic order

of an already
established township?

Not at all.

The name only applies to
the new shopping complex.

In this version of
things, we own the land,

but the town remains
mostly the same size

minus the area we use
to expand the casino.

An influx of new
businesses and visitors

means your tax revenue
will go way up.

Huh. Well, that was
a pretty positive "huh."

I'm thinking, Nathan.

My constituents might
like lots ofjobs and money.

Nathan: This is absurd.

Nathan, look at
the opportunity here.

We could showcase
the rutherford brand

in the way that
you've always imagined.

I'm sorry, who are you?

You sound like Terry.

Are you my best friend

or the associate
director of terrible ideas?

Terry: We're trying
to make Disney world,

and, Nathan, we want you
to be our Mickey mouse.

And as long as you work with us,

you can remain in your house,

and run your museum.

Uh, so you're gonna
take my land,

but allow me to stay
on it under your terms?

Think of it as a fair
and honest deal.

Well, you can take your deal,

and shove it up your
fair and honest butt.
