Ransom Canyon

Previously on Ransom Canyon…

-You're gonna pretend we didn't happen? -It's for the best.

-Is this about Davis? -Yes, it is.

What the hell? What's going on?

Hey, relax, all right?

-Why won't you fight this? -You wouldn't understand.

- He didn't do this. -How come he won't say it?

Maybe he's covering for someone.

We did it, girl, we're here!

-Can I go one more time? -Clear the mat.

Is there any way I come back from this?

-Start by telling Cap. -What if he can't forgive me?

You pack up all your shit and get the hell off my land.

I'm your grandson.

You mean nothing to me.

- What in the hell is this? - They spiked our wells.

We have a motion to end grandfathered wells in the county.

All in favor?

- Wait. - We've salinated the wells

to ensure Staten's grandfathered status comes to an end.

You're meant for more than this, Quinn. Don't answer me now.

Auditions are in six weeks.

Hey.

Smells good.

-Bacon's gonna burn. -Yeah, let it.

You talk in your sleep, you know.

- No, I don't. -Oh yeah, you do.

What did I say?

Well, I can't… I can't tell you that.

-It's too embarrassing. -

But you did talk a lot about me.

Oh wow.

I think you lie.

And I'll have you know, sir, that you smell.

-Oh really? -Mm-hmm.

-What do I smell like? -You smell like a rancher.

I am a rancher.

A smelly one.

You better get used to it. I gotta show you something.

Look at this.

-What's that? -That's where the solar panels are going.

Staten, that's incredible.

I thought you were gonna say stupid expensive,

which it... it definitely is.

How stupid?

Well, uh, "20% price hike on all my cattle buyers" stupid.

Will you tell him it's over?

I will.

I just want to be kind.

-I'm doing a shitty thing. -Yeah.

Well, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

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

since the day he was born.

Yeah, including a mountain of debt, okay?

Really?

Staten, you can't say anything to anyone.

- -No, I mean it, Staten.

I need you to promise you won't say anything.

I promise.

I'll tell Davis about us, I just…

I need to do it my own way.

Okay.

-Okay? -Okay.

Hey, boss.

Hey.

DA's ready to file charges on Kit.

Took him long enough.

Hmm.

I thought you'd be happy to hear.

Yeah, I thought I would too.

Say, what…

What if Lucas is right?

What if his brother is covering for someone?

Someone else driving that night?

- -

I've done that move a thousand times, and I just tanked it.

Hey, it's all right.

No, it was my one shot, and I blew it.

I'm sure it wasn't as bad as it is in here.

-I don't know, Lucas. -I do.

You're gonna be fine, Lauren.

You just gotta shake this off.

That's it?

Just "shake it off"?

All I'm saying is that it's not the end of the line.

Okay?

It was one clinic. No need to spiral.

No, but that's what you don't get, okay? My dream is not cheerleading, right?

My dream is something bigger than this place.

I don't get there without UT, and I don't get UT without a scholarship.

I'm trying to make you feel better right now.

But in case you forgot, I got a lot of shit on my plate right now too, okay?

Hey.

Hi.

What's this?

It's an envelope.

-With a bunch of cash in it. -Just trying to pull my weight.

I appreciate you letting me crash, and I don't want to…

I don't know.

You know, you're acting like I'm not getting anything out of this deal.

I'll be out soon, I promise.

-You can stay as long as you want. -And I appreciate it, I do, I just…

You just what?

I was thinking about calling a buddy of mine up in Jefferson City.

Ah, I see what you're doing.

-What am I doing? -You're getting the itch to run again.

And it's not fair to me or to Cap.

Cap?

El, I'm dead to that man. What more do you want me to do?

-Fix it. -There is no fixing it.

So what, you're just gonna run away? That's bullshit!

You created this problem, and now it's time for you to solve it. Don't walk away.

Ellie. Hey.

Davis. What can I do for you?

Uh, is Quinn here?

No, she's not.

Yeah. Um…

Listen, have you talked to her at all?

Did she mention anything going on, or…

Nope. If you find out, let me know.

Yeah.

Sal, hey. What did you make of that offer?

Fan… Fantastic. Fantastic.

I look forward to being in business together.

-What are you still doing here? -You sold me out to Cap.

So?

You were gonna tell him anyway.

I just beat you to the punch.

He's selling the ranch, you know.

Oh.

Look, Yancy…

Ellie's a nice girl.

What the hell does that mean?

Sooner or later, your past catches up to you.

You can't outrun it.

Why put her in the crosshairs?

She doesn't deserve that.

Staying in Ransom is not gonna end well for you.

Or her.

But you already know that.

-Take care of yourself, Yancy. -

-All right, then. -M'kay.

Wait a minute.

Ah.

I get it.

-Dirty rancher. -Mm-hmm.

Hang on.

Give me your hand.

Give me your hand and one of those.

What?

Nothing, I'm just… I'm just thinking.

About what?

About forever.

I'll see you around.

I'll see you around.

- -

What kind of fresh hell is this?

You sure are making it a habit, these unexpected pop-ins.

Sit down, son.

Are you aware that Sal Harper is no longer buying Double K cattle?

Wh... What the hell are you talking about?

Davis is trying…

No, excuse me.

…succeeding in poaching our buyers right under your nose.

Sal said he had no choice.

Please tell me you're not raising prices on account of going solar.

'Cause that's what I've been hearing.

And that's what other beneficiaries, your family, are hearing.

Where do you get off?

You know what a round bale goes for these days?

-Jesus. -Well, I do. 140, give or take.

You done?

You don't do a damn thing around here, nothing.

So you don't get to just pop in on a whim

and start pissing and moaning about anything.

"On a whim"?

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

I chose to go solar because it was in the best interest of this ranch.

My call.

You know who made it my call? Your father.

-Mm. -He made me trustee.

So while I can appreciate all the input from the family,

I don't have to listen to them.

That is how this works.

My world, my decision.

What if your decision runs this place into the goddamn ground?

I mean, you forget that a trustee can be unseated.

Ah, right.

And all this is going to Austin Water & Power.
