- Hell, Brody's harmless.

Works his balls off. At least he's not

livin' off the dole, like Ty and Joey.

Hey, you created that problem.

- Everything go in town?

- Goin' good.

Served the notice myself.

- Payback's a b*tch, huh?

- Yeah, then some.

I want that dirt, Wade. Understand?

I don't need any

encouragement. Trust me on that.

That's my partner.

Taste for blood. Go for the kill.

You're not careful, you might

end up filthy rich, like me.

[ Country ]

Well, I, uh, checked out the

main water connection, and, uh,

I hate to say it, bud.

But if you wanna figure out what's

goin' on with your water pressure,

you gotta get down there and dig underneath

and get a good look inside the pipes.

You're kiddin' me. Tell

me you're kiddin' me.

You're probably gonna

have to re-pipe the copper.

Well, how much is that gonna cost me?

There's no way to tell till I get up in it.

Oh, all right. Well, sh*t.

- Sorry 'bout that.

- Hey, if it ain't one thing, it's 10 more.

You can guarantee that

one. We'll see you, buddy.

- Anything worth drinkin' back there?

- You name it, I got it.

How 'bout somethin' special then?

Holy... Well!

[ Laughs ] Johnny Boyd.

The things you see when

you don't have a gun.

- [ Laughing ]

- C.J. Jennings.

- How are you, Johnny?

- My main man.

- How you doin', buddy?

- Doin' awesome.

Well, it's good to see you.

So, uh, how's everything?

Depends on who you ask, I guess.

- Always does.

- Tanya?

- Yeah.

- Break out the shine.

Sure thing.

It's gonna get ugly, huh, with the shine?

I don't know a soul who is stupid

enough to drink that with me.

- Except you.

- Yeah, well, that's their loss.

Yeah. Think the last time

I saw you was Sturgis.

Black Hills rally. [ Laughing ]

That was some good times.

That's right. You were runnin'

with a pretty rough crowd back then.

- Yeah. Seemed right at the time.

- Mm-hmm.

And now?

I'm standin' here, aren't I?

Thank you, darlin'.

- No.

- All right.

Oh, boy.

[ Inhales ] Just like Mama used to make.

- Here we go, huh?

- To hard living... and good times.

And friends like you.

Mmm.

I, uh, can't exactly say

the same about myself.

Ah, sh*t. Don't be so

hard on yourself, C.J.

You've always been a damn good bad example.

[ Chuckles ]

She ain't here. It's her night off.

- That obvious, huh?

- Well, let's just say, if we were playin' poker,

- I'd have all your money right now.

- [ Chuckles ]

So, how is she?

Like I said before, depends on who you ask.

- [ Woman Laughing ]

- [ Inaudible Dialogue ]

Got the next best thing though. Hey, Brody!

Come over here.

What's up?

This here's an old friend of mine

and your mom's. C.J. Jennings.

- All right. Nice to meet you.

- You too.

Brody is Ricki's son.

- Guilty.

- C.J. and I used to run together back in the day.

Oh, is this the guy you talk so much about?

- The very one.

- Uh-oh.

Yeah, probably a bunch of

half-truths and half-lies.

- Kind of like fishin'.

- Well, listen, I got a few things I gotta wrap up here.

Why don't you all have a

cold beer, visit for a few.

Okay. All right. Sure.

- Tanya?

- Yeah.

- Take care of these guys for me, would you?

- Sure thing.

I might even give 'em drinks too.

- What can I get for you guys?

- Oh, uh...

- Your call.

- Couple of cold ones is good.

You got it.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Here we go. Sure.

Lead the way.

Sounds like you and Johnny tore

it up when y'all were younger.

Oh, yeah. We ran pretty hard.

You know, I've known Johnny

and your family ever since...

I don't know... ever since

I can remember, really.

Johnny and I were

inseparable when we were kids.

- Yeah?

- Oh, yeah.

You know, buildin' forts and

chasin' girls, of course. [ Chuckles ]

- Got our first little dirt bikes together.

- Oh, my God.

Johnny's told me so many stories...

C.J. Jennings's legend, I call it.

- [ Laughs ]

- So...

- Can I ask you a question?

- Name it.

Is it true you rode with the underground?

Yeah. It's true.

Wow. Is it everything they say it is?

[ Sighs ] Probably not.

- Ha!

- Hey, Brody.

Hey, Joey. What are you all up to?

Oh, you know. Thought we'd come by

and see how the other half lives.

- Yeah, well.

- Ty.

- Who's your friend?

- Ah, Joey Daniels, C.J. Jennings.

- How you doin', Joey?

- Old buddy of Johnny's.

- Nice to meet you.

- Likewise. That's my brother.

- Hey, man.

- You're comin' out to the ranch tomorrow?

Ah, probably not. I, um...

I'll be here at the bar working.

Unlike you trust-fund babies.

Last I heard, your old man was makin'

plenty of money, right alongside mine.

Yeah. Well, I don't need his money.

- Yeah, right.

- So, what's a girl gotta do to get a drink around here?

- Uh, well, what would you like?

- Whatever you like, I like.

[ Laughs ]

What about tonight?

What y'all got goin' on?

We're meetin' a friend of

Jake's here and then, you know...

- Bro, she's hot as sin. Stops traffic.

- Yeah. Okay.

- Hey, Jake.

- Hey, Morgan, how ya doin'?

- Y'all, this is Morgan.

- You're lookin' good.

- Hey, Morgan. I'm... I'm Brody Locklin.

- Hi. Hey, Brody Locklin.

How ya doin'? Uh, can I get you a seat?

- Sure thing.

- Here ya go.

You didn't ask me to have a seat, Brody?

- Uh, yeah, uh, well...

- You what?

- I didn't mean...

- I'm just teasin'.

Hey, man, we gotta get goin'.

Uh, don't you guys wanna hang

around and have a beer or something?

I wouldn't mind hangin' for a bit.

- We're all here, but...

- Let's hit it.

We'll let you know how the party goes.

- See y'all.

- Later, Brody.

- Yeah, so...

- What's all this I hear about a party?

- Ah.

- Hey, Johnny.

- [ Kisses ]

Joey and Ty are havin' a party

down at the ranch tomorrow,

and I was just tellin' 'em that

I gotta work, not gonna make it.

- Oh, that's too bad.

- Yeah.

I don't remember seein'

your name on the schedule.

Well, I guess we'll be partying, huh?

Looks like it. Sure does.

- Wanna walk me to my car?

- I do. I do, yeah.

- C.J.

- Good to see ya.

- See ya, Brody.

- Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

So, uh, Ricki's workin'

tomorrow. Got the day off.

What do you say we get out on

the road, take a little ride?

That sounds good.

- How's it goin'?

- [ Muttering ]

So, what do you think?

Well, it's... Hey, it's a nice house.

Actually, I was talkin' about the bike.

[ Laughs ] The bike?

[ Laughing ]

Oh, that's a beauty, man.

Yeah, it is a badass.

So, what's the deal? You don't live here?

- No, this is...

- [ Woman ] Hello, C.J.

Ricki?

Well, didn't think I'd be

seein' you this mornin'.

Funny how things work out, huh?

He didn't tell me you lived here.

Yeah, well, told me y'all

were meetin' at the bar.

Well, I guess I got confused.

[ Chuckling ]

Which reminds me, I'll be right back.

No, no, Johnny...

- Ricki, I'm sorry. I didn't mean...

- Yeah...

Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

Yeah, I just... I just wasn't

expecting visitors. That's all.

Nice to see ya.

So, Johnny told me that you were out.
