Well, Mr. Napier, I'd like to think that if I was behind an attempt on your life, at the very least I would've messed up your hair.
“Unfinished Business” · Season 1, Episode 15
In this episode: Dean Winchester (940), Damon Salvatore (715), Sam Winchester (665), Olivia Benson (637), Stephen Fry (608), Narrator (554), Clark Kent (523), Nate (486)
My question is, does Mr. Napier know the name of the company that fired Shelby from his security job? Well, I'll save you the trouble. The name of that company was Black Pike Coal. Now, do you want us all to believe that Shelby here's a dishonest man because Black Pike tells us so? Do you think that Shelby's the only man in this room been done wrong by a coal-mining company?
TNTillman Napier
Mr. Moderator, how many questions you gonna let this convict ask?
Mr. Napier, everybody here knows that the only men the company doesn't do wrong are company men. And you stand up there with your slick haircut. You look down on Shelby because this man works for a living. You talk down to me because I've been in trouble with the law. Well, you know when that trouble began? Why don't you ask your good friend Harvey Jones? He was there. He was on the line when we struck out at Eastover Brookside, Duke power scabs, and gun thugs coming after us with bicycle chains and bats! Trying to run us over in their cars! And I know that you weren't there, Mr. Napier...but there sure were a lot of men there who looked like you. Men standing on the company side, laughing at all us hillbillies who were just trying to stand up for what we believed in. Now, I'm not saying you're a bad man, Mr. Napier. That, I don't know. But what I do know is that you've been feeding too long at the public trough. Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm gonna say no to the company man. I'm gonna say no to the lawmen who disrespect the rights of the people whose taxes pay for their salaries! And I'm gonna say no, I'm gonna say no, I'm gonna say no to Sheriff Tillman Napier, who laughs in our faces while he makes money off our backs!
You rather talk pig shit?
Close... Robert Quarles.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, you taking actual shot glasses? No, no, no, put those back and pull the goddamn Dixie cups that I brought! Oh, good lord... shot of the cheap stuff for every vote and shot of the good stuff if they bring a friend.
Now make sure you water down that cheap stuff enough so it lasts.
The boys I hired, they know what they're doing.
Alright, Arlo's got a guy hauling folks out of Paden Holler.
That's good, and Emmett Holler?
Well, Arlo's gonna make that run himself.
Arlo's driving a bus? Oh shit, well there's some folks might not make it to the polls.
Ava, baby, how are things on your end?
Oh, the girls are excited to practice their constitutional right to vote, and to give a free hand job for every vote cast for our man, Shelby. They already gave out blowjobs to a couple boys Napier was counting on to haul for him... and convinced them to take the day off.
I'm not sure I oughta be listening to this.
Well, Shelby, now this is the nature of Harlan County politics. The people of Harlan County are ready for a change, they deserve a change, and we gonna win this thing.
Damn straight.
Yes we can!
You're a lucky man, Mr. Quarles. You get to come all the way down here, a place you got no right being. You get to eat our food. You get to drink our whisky. You get to look at our women as you try to take it all for yourself. Why, you know what you are? You're a conquistador. Only we are not your savages. And now you get to leave with your life. Well, I'm hard-pressed to remember the last outsider in your line of work can say that. I hope you've enjoyed your stay... and you never forget who packed your bags.
Mr. Quarles, maybe it is time you leave Kentucky.
I got nowhere else to go.
[Someone knocks on the door. Wynn goes to check]
It's some kid.
See what he wants.
Can I help you? (Donovan backs him up with a gun in his hand) Good call.
Yeah. (pause) Oh! There's a young man with a gun in our trailer, Wynn.
Yeah, I noticed.
Did- did you do something to upset him?
I don't even know him.
DDonovan
You and me got a friend in common.
Oh yeah?
DDonovan
Brady Hughes.
Who's Brady Hughes?
DDonovan
...Go ahead. Tell him.
You're friends with Brady?
DDonovan
Friends enough to know that the last time anyone saw him was with you, getting into a car together.
Brady is a beautiful soul.
DDonovan
I don't want to hear your bullshit!
What would you like to hear?
DDonovan
The truth! I want you to admit that you killed him.
But that's not true.
DDonovan
Then where is he?
I don't know.
DDonovan
Yes, you did! You killed him, and I want to hear you say it.
And then you're going to kill me?
DDonovan
Say it!
How old are you, son?
DDonovan
Old enough-
19? 20? I was 14 years old when I killed my first man. I was given a choice: I would do it myself, or they would do it for me.
DDonovan
You took him from me.
...No. I didn't. My father was a heroin addict. (gets up) He wasn't necessarily an evil man, but he couldn't kick his addiction, couldn't hold a job, either. But to feed his addiction, he used the resources at his disposal.
DDonovan
I don't care about your shit!
Luckily for my father, he had a very... pretty little boy. And plenty of men were willing to pay for my company. What is your name?
DDonovan
Donovan.
That's what it was like for me, Donovan, for many years. (approaches Donovan) And then one day, a man named Theo realized what was happening. You see, Theo believed deeply in family, and one afternoon, an associate of Theo's picked me up from school, and we took a ride in his Cadillac to a warehouse. Theo ushered me in, where inside, on his knees, was my father. I was 14 years old, and I remember how it felt... to suddenly be free. You see, Donovan, I understood your friend Brady. I knew him without really knowing him, do you understand?
DDonovan
Then why'd you hurt him?
"Hurt him?" No, son, I never hurt him. I did everything I could to help him. (points Donovan's gun away and hugs him) And then I set him free. I set him free.
I'm sorry, we're closed.
Sure doesn't look closed.
Yeah, well, we are. We're closed.
Oh, that's right. He's the bouncer now.
Wynn, take him out of here.
I voiced my concerns, and they fell on deaf ears.
You got two minutes-
Marshal, aren't you going to ask me what I want?
I don't think I will, no.
There was an election today in Harlan County, and your man Boyd Crowder pulled a fast one on me. He slipped that hillbilly rug right out from under my feet.
I'm just gonna file that under "Who Gives A Shit?"
Well now, usually I'd be in a position to handle something like that, (snorts) because that's what I do. But then I got to thinking, I'd still have to worry about incurring your wrath.
I'm sorry, my wrath? Uh, you don't need to worry about that. You guys can take each other out.
And your father?
Sure, him too. Take 'em both out.
And that's why you are the way you are, Raylan. 'Cause your daddy's a criminal.
That's it, your two minutes are up.
I understand you've been snooping around about my friend, Brady Hughes.
Brady Hughes? Who's that, that the street kid you killed?
(gets up) You know, I decided upon something tonight, Jim Bob.
Did you?
I did... but I wanted to come down here and talk to you myself, right out of the horse's mouth.
I'm sure that wasn't necessary-
I'm gonna kill you, Raylan. Maybe not tonight, maybe not tomorrow, but some day you'll be walking down the street and I'm gonna put a bullet right in the back of your skull and you're gonna drop.
[Raylan draws his gun and fires it into the ceiling.]
US Marshal! I want everyone out of the building, right now! Get your stuff and get out! (Quarles laughs) Why wait?
Okay, you had your fun. Let's go-
I'm not going anywhere. Neither are you. So how long do you think it'll take before the cops get here?
Mmm, they may not even come. I did show my badge.
And how do we do this?
You draw. I put you down.
And people will conspire to keep you down. You will reach for the edge, and they will lean the heels of their boots on your fingers. And you just keep fighting, and scratching and pulling, and just when you think you've reached the top of the mountain, they changed the rules. Then you have to start from the beginning, so what do you do? I know what you don't do, you don't quit. You don't run. You don't stick that gun in the back of your throat. You realize that you were wrong, you were wrong in thinking that you had already won. You claw your way back into the fight. True victory... is when you crush your opponent so completely that he realizes that he was wrong in opposing you from the beginning. And you stand atop of the mountain.
You know, you disappoint me, Wynn. Word around the Detroit campfire is that you were a wild man. Comes to a little nut-cutting, suddenly you want to bitch out. Don't be like the rest of them. You can't have the "Duffy" without the "Wynn".
LLongbaugh
This is a katana. My granddad pulled this off a dead jap officer at Shuri castle, Okinawa!
The greatest generation at work.
LLongbaugh
He was a lying old sack of shit. Probably just bought it.
Art, I've got a daddy.
Yeah, I've met your daddy.
Fair enough, continue.
SSarno
You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd think you sent us there expecting him to take care of us.
Or you'd take care of him, have to go on the run either way.
[Sarno's associate moves to raise his gun; Sarno stops him]
SSarno
Whoa. A man doesn't talk like that unless he's holding the nuts.
[Duffy lifts his gun from under the table]
SSarno
Ah.
It's nothing personal. I just figured the more soldiers Quarles has down here, the more tenuous my position becomes.
SSarno
Did you figure if you didn't put us together with him, we'd just go away?
I figured it would buy me some time to cut a deal help you in exchange for a guarantee that I don't get left out in the cold.
SSarno
Hmm. Well, how about you help us in exchange for your lives?
That sounds a little odd coming from the guy not holding the gun.
SSarno
Did you help Quarles because of the guns he had or because of who was behind him? Theo Tonin he carries this ear around in his pocket.
I'm sorry. It sounded like you said—
SSarno
Yeah, yeah. It's a human ear. And, uh, whenever he wants to get some guy's attention, he just takes out the ear and he starts talking into it.
Hmm. What does he say?
SSarno
I don't think it really matters.
SSarno
You know, there was a day when I would have said nobody could stealth me.
Yeah? What happened? Lose your edge or just realize you weren't that good to begin with?
SSarno
Maybe a little of both.
You really think this is gonna go down?
TBTom Bergen
I hope so, because if I'm missing my boy's tee ball game for nothing I'm gonna be pissed.
Are you sure you're alright with this?
$3.2 million. I might find a way to get right.
