Season 1 – Episode 9
Episode title: El Padrino
Original release date: July 3, 2026

Plot: Rip and Beth confirm Austin’s claims about the Jacksons’ criminal activities, while Rob-Will alerts Beulah to their discovery. After learning the truth about the drug-smuggling operation, Everett confronts Beulah and tells her to leave his house. Oreana discovers she is pregnant, reconciles with Carter, and convinces him to run away with her that evening. Mariano, Joaquin’s father and the drug lord to whom Beulah is indebted, arrives in Rio Paloma and lays down his terms. Beulah attempts to justify her actions to Beth and Rip, but they send her away with the drugs loaded into her vehicle. Rob-Will tells Mariano that Beth and Rip are in possession of his drugs. After Rob-Will leaves, Mariano orders Joaquin to kill him. Everett joins Rip, Azul, and Zachariah at the ranch as Mariano’s men launch an assault, but the attack is swiftly repelled, with Rip capturing the last surviving gunman for questioning. Unable to find Carter, Beth returns to the ranch as Rip and the ranch hands dispose of the bodies in the mineshaft. Oreana’s plans to leave are derailed when Rob-Will is fatally shot downstairs by Joaquin. Mariano calls Beth to reveal that Carter has been abducted. Beth informs Rip and they resolve to confront Mariano.

She had a heart attack. They did an angioplasty.

Will she live? She’ll be fine.

Kino’s not my flesh and blood.

Well, I didn’t agree to work with your son.

He is a mistake. I will not apologize for him.

Rob-Will killed Wes Ayers.

That’s a murder weapon.

[Wade] Your family’s crazier than a sack of cats in a rainstorm.

They’re no longer my family.

You don’t get handed anything in life.

You got to work for it.

When you’re given a chance to make your life better, you fucking grab it.

Carter, I’ve lost more than I’ve won in this life.

We don’t get to choose the pain, but we get to choose how we build from it.

I got two people who think they’re saviors

’cause they took in an orphan.

Guess what? You ain’t the only orphan in this family.

Ain’t the only asshole, either.

[Beth] I’ve broken a lot of things in my life.

I don’t want to break him.

[Everett] Hate to waste a shot at love just ’cause I’m so damn stubborn.

If I’d known that a heart attack would change your mind, I’d have had one sooner.

Can I fucking trust Rip?

With your life.

10-Petal’s got an operation down in Mexico that steals and smuggles cattle in illegally.

They ain’t ranchers.

Those motherfuckers are thieves.

When’s the next load?

Two days.

[cattle bellowing]

[indistinct shouting]

Cows for mules?

I’m about to find out, honey.

[whistles]

Shit, we’re gonna have to call Everett.

Yeah, I don’t know what the fuck we’re gonna tell him.

[whistling]

[vehicle approaching]

Ruh-roh.

The hell y’all think you’re doing?

What don’t you ask your mama?

Just a little cattle repo, buddy.

Oh, I don’t think your service is required here at the moment.

You running your mouth again, boy?

Nah, get off my property.

Beulah hired me. She can fire me.

Oh, so can I.

You and your little bitch.

You running drugs?

I’d rather die than tell you shit.

Well, if we find what we think we’re gonna find, you’re already a dead man.

Austin, go and lay low, you understand?

Yeah, she’s not the problem.

[Zach] Ain’t nothing wrong just looking at them.

What about that spay scar?

Yeah, a lot of cattle coming across the border are spayed.

It cuts down on USDA paperwork.

Those sutures there, they look fresh.

[Everett] You got anything to base this on, other than notes scribbled in a logbook?

Instinct.

Let’s run ’em through the chute.

I’ll get my shit. All right.

[keypad beeps]

[Mariano] When did she make the announcement?

Anniversary party, four nights ago, and then

she collapsed to the ground. Heart attack?

That’s what they said.

Those parties were never celebrations.

They were tests.

Her father liked to test her in front of other people.

Hell. He liked to test me, too.

She said it was some legacy bullshit, ’cause Rob-Will’s her blood, her son.

And I am not, I… Rob-Will has always been a liability.

Yeah, well, he’s not our only problem.

She’s brought strangers to our doorstep.

Then why didn’t you call me sooner?

‘Cause I had it under control.

No, if you had it under control, I’d still be in México, cabrón.

[Beulah] Mariano, my daddy’s ranch man.

What about him?

Well, he helped me back in the day.

Do what?

He helped me get rid of a body.

What the fuck are you talking about, Beulah?

Okay.

Everett?

You’re gonna have to give me a second.

All right, I’ll give you a second.

All right.

I’m just gonna tell you the whole damn thing.

[sighs]

One ni… one night, I went out to Billy Bob’s and I met a guy when I was 16.

Mariano was supposed to be looking after me.

He was, uh, like a big brother.

Anyway, I slipped his leash and went off home with this guy.

And, uh, as my daddy would say, I got myself raped.

♪ slow, dark music ♪

He raped me, Everett.

[exhales]

When I found out I was pregnant, I asked Mariano to take me to this man’s trailer, and I killed him.

I shot him dead.

Jesus Christ.

This is Rob-Will’s father?

That’s right.

Does Rob-Will know?

No.

My daddy finds out about the whole thing, blames Mariano.

[laughs softly] Mariano was so fucking scared.

My daddy forces him to make a deal: he takes the heat, disappears to Mexico, we take care of baby Joaquin, in the short term.

Anyway, something went down when they got to the border, and, uh, Mariano’s wife, Joaquin’s mother, was killed.

[stammers]

What’s all this have to do with drugs in your cows?

[sighs]

[Beth] Well, there must be something you can do.

[Wade] I’m afraid there’s not.

A cell phone battery lasts a day, tops.

He’s been gone two, but when I call it, it rings.

So he must be charging it somewhere, right?

Right.

Well, you’re a cop.

Can’t you get a location ping or something?

I need a court order for that.

Or a subpoena, and at that point, I’d still need to prove that his life was in danger.

Well, what if it is?

Is it?

Look, Handy, he is my son, and I just want to make sure he’s okay.

Uh, darling…

Carter’s 19 years old.

He’s not a kid anymore.

They leave home. It happens all the time.

I’m sorry.

Call me if you need anything.

Thanks for nothing.

3.5 kilos.

How much money we talking about?

Street value?

I’d guess around two million bucks.

[sighs]

[Zach] My old cellmate was a dealer.

That’s a lot of money.

It’s too much.

Someone’s gonna come looking for that shit.

Mm-hmm.

Boys, I ain’t asking you this time, I’m telling you.

You ought to get the fuck out of here while you can.

I ain’t going nowhere.

You stepped in front of a bullet for me, I’d do the same for you.

Plus, somebody’s got to look after this motherfucker.

[Rip chuckles]

[phone vibrating]

[Rip sighs]

You find him?

[Beth] No. Shit.

The cows? -Yeah, we’re looking at about

$2 million dollars in fentanyl.

Where are you?

-I said Beulah can wait. Yeah.

She’s waited long enough.

♪ slow, suspenseful music ♪

Fellas, put that shit in the hayloft.

And then you go check those trail cameras to make sure they’re online.

[both] Yes, sir.

[Beulah] When the drought hit, we were about to lose everything.

The land, the cattle, the name.

And Kino brought me an option from Mariano.

He said it was temporary, just something to keep the lights on till the rains came back, and I… I made a terrible mistake.

And that was almost 15 years ago.

So, you’ve been running drugs for 15 years?

Yes.

And who knows about this? Well, Rob-Will, Joaquin, Miguel, Tommy. And what about Beth and Rip?

Truth, okay, I’ve been looking for a way out for a long time.

Just to step away, let the boys take over, but… neither of them is really built for it.

And then Beth and Rip show up.

So, you’re using them.

Maybe.

W-What? [chuckles]

There’s no “maybe” about it.

If they’d known you had been running drugs, they’d have had nothing to do with you.

Oh, come on, Everett. What…

You really think they’re completely clean?

What are you talking about?

You’re putting their lives at risk.

Putting them in charge of a drug smuggling operation?

They don’t know anything. Yeah, they sure as fuck do now.

What do you expect me to do with this, B?

I mean, you were gonna fucking run off with me.

What were you gonna do?

Just lie to me the rest of our lives?

I’m sorry. I was trying to protect you.

Oh, bullshit.

You weren’t protecting me, you were protecting yourself.

You lied to me, you lied to your son, you lied to Beth and Rip.

I’ve paid my debt back.

Hmm? Kino tells me that you’ve placed Rob-Will in charge.

Well, he’s my son, Mariano.

And I did it to protect him. Uh, to protect both of them.

You promised you would raise Kino as your own.

And now you chose blood over competence.

Now, I kept my word. I raised your son.

You raised him soft.

Both of them.

[laughs] Yeah. Well, I won’t argue that.

[chuckles]

And now you’ve brought strangers into our house.

I hired ranchers to run a ranch.

To keep the bankers and the badges off our backs.

They know nothing about our arrangement, they know nothing about you.

They were not an error in judgment, Mariano.

And this was never your house.

Beth.

You want a smoke?

No, thank you.

[sighs]

You ever get that feeling… right here that the world is gonna open up and swallow everything that you love?

And?

I was right every time.

They want us.

Then they’re gonna fucking get us.
