I'm doing a risk analysis

to see what's more expensive:

drilling the well or getting sued.

What'd you come up with?

We're pretty fucked either way.

You know, that place can be pretty rough at night.

Behind the bar is the safest spot.

In front of the bar's a completely different story.

Oh!

This is Charles Newsom.

He's a geologist who specializes in offshore drilling.

- [Cami] You think that's gas? - [Nathan] The likelihood

of a successful strike is ten percent.

A ten percent chance of rain is no chance at all.

And you think it's there?

- There's no question it's there. - Go find it.

[Rebecca] I said explain it...

- Hey. - ...not sell it

- like a fucking time-share. - You know, me personally,

I prefer the relationship to evolve

just a little bit further

before I start fucking lying for somebody.

We don't have a "relationship."

[Tommy] You're abandoning a sure thing for a maybe.

It's your company. Who knows, maybe you're right.

I want success. Get that for me.

I'm telling you, it won't work.

I gave her my word, Tommy.

Does it kill the company? Absolutely,

but that company died when her husband died.

Her husband was the best, but she ain't her husband.

Does DOT approve of us taking down the bridge?

Yes, but we also need MARAD, LOTA and LDNR.

- I'm on with LDNR right now. - [Dale] Well, this little boy,

he's saying that we need Coast Guard approval

- or some shit. - You there?

[Nathan] Once LOTA and LDNR sign off...
