All for Nothing

1
Breakfast is ready, let's go.
Where's your sister?
Sila!
Come on.
That girl
Come on.
Let's
Hey, Crystal.
Sila didn't spend the night
there last night, did she?
No?
No, she didn't come home.
Thank you.
Hello, Jim.
Sila isn't over there, is she?
Well, you let me know if she comes by.
What time did Sila drop her off?
And she said she was
coming straight home?
Sila!
Sila!
911. What's your emergency?
So, we found her car about
10 miles from here.
Ran out of gas.
There's no sign of a struggle,
so my guess is she either hitched a ride
or tried to walk it.
There's no telling which, so
for now we're assuming both.
I need to put together a search, Tom,
and I don't have the manpower.
I'll make some calls.
Now, you checked with all her friends?
Everybody.
At this point, I don't know
what her chances are.
You know exactly what
her chances are, Ben.
Who is he?
Just a horse trading, lying
half a criminal.
Rip, push those cattle up to
the field above that new barn.
Yes, sir.
Y'all listen up,
if those sons of bitches
say anything to you,
you don't react, you hear me?
Cool heads. Understood?
This bastard will try and test you.
Long time, John.
Not long enough for me,
you son of a bitch.
What happened to cool heads?
I didn't mean me.
What scam are you running today?
No scam.
We're babysitting them
bison for the resort.
Resort's in the buffalo business now?
They're in the tourist business.
Charge 600 dollars for people to
ride up here on a dude string
and have pictures taken of 'em.
These been tested for Brucellosis?
Got a whole army now, I see.
He's always got an army.
Don't you, John?
Papers are good.
Why didn't you show him
that the other day?
'Cause I didn't like the way he asked.
I don't want to see them things
on our side of the fence.
Law says it's not our job to
keep 'em from getting in.
It's your job to keep
'em from getting out.
You should know that, Commissioner.
Oh, I'll keep 'em out.
But you're gonna fucking
hate the way I do it.
We're a little long in the
tooth for old feuds, Wade.
Without old feuds I got none at all.
And where's the fun in that?
Let's go.
Going to a funeral?
Um, Helena.
- Got work to do.
- Mm.
Won't work Saturdays for us,
but you're sure working for yourself.
Enough of this shit.
Uh-oh, I've made him mad,
and he's not going to take it anymore.
Let's just skip straight to the problem.
The real problem between us.
It's too early in the morning
to dig up that skeleton, Jamie.
Well, I'm digging it up anyway.
You know what is so fucking
dangerous about you?
Is you actually believe
that you're helping.
Like, in your heart, you believe that.
But you refuse to look at
the results of your help.
You refuse to acknowledge the carnage
that your "help" leaves behind.
Because as a man you are broken.
Your soul, your mind is broken.
And, it's not your fault, I guess.
He made you into something
you had no business being.
I guess that's why he did it.
But there's just no right
or wrong with you.
Just his approval. That's
all that matters to you.
That's all you are.
But his disapproval, man,
and how much you fear it?
That is what makes you
truly evil, Jamie.
And you are evil.
You know that. You have to know that.
All All I have ever tried to do
is protect this family.
Most of the time, from itself.
You more than anyone
should understand that.
I'm going to tell you a little secret:
the more you become what
he wanted you to become,
the more he'll hate you for it.
And he does hate you for it.
We all do.
I should've said no.
That's what I should've done.
Because then you couldn't blame me
for doing exactly what
you asked me to do.
I didn't ask you for a
fucking hysterectomy.
You know, when you consider
the pain that you cause a person
the person's fault
that's evil, Jamie.
Thank you.
You said this would be simple.
It should have been.
"Should" is a useless word.
Almost as useless as "hope."
He didn't change leads on
that second barrel, did he?
If you're running fast enough,
it don't matter what lead you're on.
These barrel racers is
hands, I'll say that.
Could you toss me a water, babe?
Thank you, sugar.
Damn.
Two dances.
Here, I'm hauling them to the arena,
saddling their horses,
sitting in the bleachers watching 'em.
Now I'm the damn buckle bunny.
You guys didn't, uh
'Course not. She ain't
even 25 years old.
I need a barrel racer in my life
like I need another hemorrhoid.
But here I am anyway,
toting her shit around.
That's a lot of woman you got there.
She's gonna want more than you
can offer living in a bunkhouse.
Rodeo was supposed to be my
way out of the bunkhouse.
Rodeo's as bad on
relationships as cowboying.
Can't be married to two things
at the same time, Jimmy.
That's what got you banged
up in the first place
was thinking about her
instead of that rocket
you was getting on.
Mr. Dutton says I can't
do it anymore anyway.
He told me that too, once.
Right after he paid a stack
of my hospital bills.
But the only one that can decide
if you're gonna rodeo is you.
Maybe I can just do another event.
Team rope, maybe.
You can't rope a post
with a ten foot loop.
But you can sit a bucking horse
like nothin' I ever seen.
Least well since I quit, anyway.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
You gotta leave your brain out of it,
decide with your heart.
It's the only way you'll
ever have peace with it.
When did you decide to quit?
My body decided for me.
Now, it's all I can do to get
out of bed every morning.
I miss it.
Yeah. I miss it too.
Thank you.
Commissioner Dutton.
It's funny how I can say the same thing
and it mean three different
people in just as many weeks.
Yeah, well, the more
things change, you know.
I certainly hope they
don't stay the same.
Me, too.
What can I do for you?
We've got a missing person.
We always have a missing person,
but we never have the
resources to find them.
I'm getting pretty tired
of that staying the same.
Well, I'm not sure how
much help I can be,
but you've got it, if that's
what you're asking for.
I got three agents close by.
Be there in three hours.
Three more is something.
Are you just looking for badges
or do you need volunteers, too?
We're putting together
volunteer groups as well.
I'll make a call. See if I
can't get you some more.
Thank you.
Appreciate you meeting us.
My pleasure.
This is Market Equities' CEO.
- I'm Willa Hayes.
- Jamie Dutton.
Where should we start?
That's a really good question,
Jamie. I don't have the answer.
I really don't know.
We could start with your
sister's firm shorting our stock
to the point it has become
a Wall Street play.
- Doing what?
- We could start there.
We could start with being
appointed to an office
that could very well be tasked
with condemning your family's property,
but that's an obscene
conflict of interest.
I think it's a bit premature
to talk condemnation.
You haven't made an offer on the land.
The State is buying the land.
The State hasn't approved that.
And to approve such a purchase,
the State would require
a bond initiative
proposed and voted on by the assembly
before being placed on the fall ballot.
And yet, here you are,
demanding that the State
violate its own procedures
while you accusing the governor
of violating procedure.
Thousands of jobs.
Thousands of low paying service jobs.
Skilled labor, I'm sure,
will come from out of state.
Which will drive the
home prices even higher,
if that's possible.
You're pricing people out of the valley.
They're already priced
out of the valley.
That's not my doing.
It's called economic evolution.
- I disagree.
- You don't disagree.
You just don't want it to be true.
I have a proposal.
I'm all ears.
Rather than the State buying the land,
I'm gonna make you an offer.
Your fifty thousand acres for
ten thousand dollars an acre.
That's five hundred million dollars.
You'll never be priced
out of anything
ever again.
Don't answer me now.
Let that number sink in.
We'll discuss this again at our
meeting with the governor.
You see that look?
Desire. Right? We'll close him.
I don't think he's the
hard one to close.
I'd leave them weapons in the truck.
We ain't enforcing no laws today.
That's good thinking.
I can get a few more
up here if you want.
It's appreciated.
This is all I could wrangle.
Wish there were more.
It all helps.
All right, folks, listen up.
Everybody stays ten feet apart.
You scan the area around you.
No, don't just look for Sila,
right? You look for clothes,
footprints,
a phone, a set of keys.
If you find something, do not touch it.
You stand over it, and you shout "hey,"
and you wave your arm.
An officer will come to you.
All right, let's go.
Do you know her?
I know her.
Good kid.
But this only happens to good kids.
Is that a wolf?
Coyote.
Tell them not to come any closer.
Everybody stop.
What's happening,
did they find something?
They found something.
The scene is yours, Ben.
Let's go tell her mother.
Set up a crime perimeter.
Guy on a buffalo ♪
One day the guy on the
buffalo was romping around ♪
In a pasture faster than he looks ♪
This is the stupidest thing
I've ever seen in my life.
Oh, it's so good.
You just don't appreciate
quality film making.
I mean, I feel like he just looks like
some kind of like sexy Jesus
on the buffalo riding to the
- No one knows what you're saying.
- sunset.
No one can understand you.
You understand what
I'm saying about you.
- We don't hear you.
- You understand.
How is he staying on that fucking thing?
- Well, it can't buck.
- Really?
Can't buck, can't rear up.
But they can roll over on your ass.
That's unbelievable.
I need this whole dynamic
explained to me.
It must be the wobble of the Earth,
creating a magnetic shift
Hey, hey, this is where he gets shot.
Look out. Look out!
Hey, we oughta ride the buffalo
out there on that field.
Wait, what field?
Out back there behind the corral.
Where are your corrals?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
She speaks, they understand her.
How is that even possible?
It's the wobble of the Earth,
I'm trying to tell you.
There ain't no buffalo out
in the field by the corrals.
There's about thirty.
The resort put them there
for the tourists to look at.
And they got this mean old
bastard watching them.
- What was his name?
- Wade something.
- Wade
- Morrow.
Mm. Yeah, they're his buffalo.
Who feels like riding a buffalo?
Uh. Not me.
Yeah, I would, but, uh
Yeah. I'm not supposed to
drink and ride buffalos.
- It's a whole thing.
- Fuck it, I'll ride a buffalo.
Yeah, we'll ride the buffalo.
- You ladies can watch.
- Yes!
- This is gonna be fun.
- Woo!
Wait. This is happening?
Looks like it.
I've done some dumb shit in my life.
I'm on a buffalo ♪
This is gonna be dumber.
Well, what's the best way to do this?
Well, you can't rope
them around the neck.
You'll crush their larynx.
So you gotta rope them by their horns.
And then what?
And then you pull them to a stop.
You jump on and off you go
I'm just here to watch.
I'll do it.
Yeah.
We can't be sober for this.
Shit, what a baby bunch.
Woo!
Barrel racer girls are
gonna get us killed.
And they ain't even our girls.
Yeah.
Woo!
Woo!
Attagirl!
- You all right?
- That was fuckin' awesome.
- Damn, girl.
- Who's next?
- Woo!
- Fuck me, baby.
Let's go rope another one.
- Woo!
- Yeah.
Very well.
Hey.
Feeling any better?
It's just not right.
No, it's not.
There's monsters
everywhere in this world.
You just gotta kill them
when you find them.
But you can't find them.
Hell, they don't even have enough police
to look for the victims.
And here I am, sitting in this
swimming pool of a bathtub.
You can't make it your fault, baby.
I'm not making it my fault.
I'm making it my problem.
You know we can't stop the
world from being bad, Monica.
Doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
Good morning, Daddy.
Yes, it is.
Have you been practicing yoga?
Practicing what?
I'm just trying to understand
this new inner peace you've found.
What this place is facing
it isn't an enemy.
It's a perspective.
It's a shift in values.
The world doesn't value your
way of life anymore, Dad.
I know.
You can't delegate this
fight to fuckin' Jamie.
Okay, and
Kayce, he just doesn't have the patience
or the skill. And
I can't do it by myself.
But you have to, honey.
You have to teach Kayce.
And you have to learn
how to trust Jamie.
Trust Jamie?
Wait, you're the
you're the one telling
I shouldn't trust Jamie.
What does it matter,
Beth, if I keep this place
for another ten years and
the three of you lose it
- because you couldn't figure it out?
- No, no.
- Beth
- You don't know him!
And what is it you know, Beth,
that the rest of us don't?
What did he do, Beth?
What did he do?
I can't help you, Beth,
if you won't tell me what it is.
Pull over, Mo.
What are you doing?
Looking for clues.
Trying to help.
The only thing you're
going to find out here
is exactly what she found.
That's not gonna help anything.
It's not fair.
No. It certainly isn't.
But it was designed that way.
From the beginning.
We're not supposed to be here.
Reservations were
supposed to be temporary.
We were supposed to
learn how to be white
and then go live in cities
and then this land would be sold, too.
But we didn't learn to be white.
Wouldn't. And now here we are.
The government won't help
because it doesn't want to.
It wants us to die.
It wants us gone.
Because it wants the land.
And that's all it's ever wanted.
That's why I want our land back.
All of it.
So we can build lives that
they can't take away.
How do I help?
I'm forming a council
to focus on violence against
women on the reservation.
It will take our stories
to the universities.
To Congress.
To anyone who will listen.
Our first fight is
against being ignored.
Would you like to lead that fight?
I could lead that fight.
That's how you help.
Oh, good.
I need to talk to you about something.
The Market Equities Group made an
Of all the promises I've
made in my life, son.
If I didn't love your mother so much
I'd break it.
I swear to God I would break it.
Did something happen?
I don't understand.
What happens in thirty years, Jamie?
When you, and your brother and sister
are too old to fight for this place
and Tate has to fight for it on his own?
What are you talking about?
Lee wouldn't marry,
didn't want children.
I doubt you will either.
And now your sister can't.
She can't because of you.
- Dad, wait. Wait!
- Quit moving!
I didn't. I
Fuck.
She came to me.
She was scared.
I was scared.
Why would you take that from her, Jamie?
Who the fuck did you think you
were to take that from her?
Hey, hey, hey.
What the hell is going on here?
Ask your brother.
Hey. Hey. What the hell?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
All I do is give!
I hate him. I fucking hate him.
I fucking hate you!
It's all for nothing.
Everything I've done. It's
It's all for nothing.
