00:00:00Pretty much right in front of your face, so to speak.
00:00:04Oh.
00:00:07You're welcome.
00:00:09Sorry. Thank you.
00:00:11No problem.
00:00:13It was nice to meet me, I'm sure.
00:00:30My heart alone it sings.
00:00:34I can't figure out the cause.
00:00:39I can't tell the plan.
00:00:43But I can sense what I got.
00:00:49Ding!
00:00:53Oh.
00:00:55Oh, my goodness.
00:00:56Are you checking in?
00:00:58Yes, I am.
00:01:00Oh, my goodness. You must be...
00:01:05You must be Cynthia Tamerlane.
00:01:08Lyne.
00:01:10Tamerline, you're right. I'm sorry.
00:01:13Well, everybody calls me Big Jim.
00:01:15I'm the owner, proprietor, and bellman of the Slow Creek Inn.
00:01:21Welcome.
00:01:22Will you be staying with us long?
00:01:24Just overnight.
00:01:26Oh, well, that's too bad.
00:01:27Maybe next time you can stay longer.
00:01:29Right, sure.
00:01:31Would you like to register, please?
00:01:34Here.
00:01:35And I've got you up on the second floor.
00:01:39Here we go.
00:01:42Now, if you'll follow me.
00:01:50Here we are.
00:01:52It's a nice little room.
00:01:54Nothing fancy.
00:01:57Just comfortable.
00:01:59Just like the folks around here.
00:02:01Now, you'll find a bathroom right through there.
00:02:03Oh, and you'll get a nice view here of the wishing well.
00:02:07That's what I'm here to do a story on.
00:02:09Oh, my goodness. That's wonderful.
00:02:12You know, we used to have a lot of tourists come around here.
00:02:16And the first thing you know, a few people didn't get their wish.
00:02:19So everybody started saying, well, the wishing well doesn't work.
00:02:22But around here, people still believe.
00:02:25What about you? You ever wish for anything?
00:02:28Oh, me?
00:02:29No, I'm one of the lucky ones.
00:02:31I just go along, I'm happy with everything.
00:02:33Maybe you'd like to make a wish.
00:02:35Oh, no, no.
00:02:37I'm one of the lucky ones, too.
00:02:39I have a life that most women would only dream about.
00:02:41Well, now you are lucky.
00:02:43By golly.
00:02:45Well, if you need anything, please let me know.
00:02:48Have a nice day.
00:02:50Bye.
00:02:51Hi, I'm Cynthia.
00:03:20Cynthia.
00:03:25Okay, I'm done now.
00:03:28What were you doing?
00:03:29I was making a wish.
00:03:31Ah, of course.
00:03:32What were you wishing for?
00:03:33It's a secret.
00:03:34Oh, I see.
00:03:36I think the best wishes are secret.
00:03:38Don't you?
00:03:40I guess so.
00:03:42So do you think that this wishing well is going to work?
00:03:45I hope so.
00:03:47I'm trying a lot.
00:03:48It has rules.
00:03:50What rules?
00:03:52There are only two.
00:03:53One is you have to really believe.
00:03:56And the other is you have to wish for the right wish.
00:04:01And how do you know what the right wish is?
00:04:03When it comes true.
00:04:04Oh.
00:04:06Yeah.
00:04:08Well, bye.
00:04:09I got to go.

00:09:35Bye.
00:09:36Bye.
00:09:38Well, thank you.
00:09:40Goodbye.
00:10:07I'm in a haystack looking for a needle.
00:10:37It is.
00:10:39Well, I hate to interrupt your misery, but I have to go.
00:10:44Oh, great. Leave me here to suffer.
00:10:53Perfect.
00:10:59I see you met Napoleon.
00:11:02You ought to teach him some manners.
00:11:04Yeah, it's the closest thing we could afford to an alarm.
00:11:07Oh, meaning you can turn him off.
00:11:09Must be glad you're not a rat.
00:11:12Believe me, I couldn't be happier about that.
00:11:19I thought I'd just come by here and see if you need some help.
00:11:21No, thanks. I'm fine.
00:11:24I rarely make it out here anyway, as you can tell.
00:11:28Excuse me.
00:11:35You know, I'm the fourth generation of my family to own the Chronicle.
00:11:39My great-grandfather started it in 1887.
00:11:43It's been the one constant in Slow Creek all these years.
00:11:47It's just a little nothing town, but we like it.
00:11:53The people here depend on the paper.
00:11:56Gives this place an identity, some history.
00:11:58All these stories over all these years.
00:12:03I'm proud of it.
00:12:06Well, I will leave you and Napoleon to it.
00:12:10Thank you.
00:12:29I recall a time when things were crazy
00:12:34So much going on inside my head
00:12:39Wanted to uproot the ones I held up high
00:12:44And compromise the truth in me instead
00:12:49It took a long time to see how old I was
00:12:54And get all my priorities in line
00:12:59Now I got a grip on my reality
00:13:02I can say everything I know
00:13:05I learned the hard ways
00:13:08And I've been working something
00:13:11Donald Reagan.
00:13:13Yeah, that could work.
00:13:18I'm ready to go
00:13:22I'll find my way
00:13:25And now I can say
00:13:28I got nothing to lose now
00:13:30And I feel so good
00:13:32Excuse me.
00:13:34Yeah, can I help you?
00:13:35Can I use your internet connection?
00:13:37Well, I'd have to ask the boss.
00:13:41Mark!
00:13:42Yep.
00:13:43She wants to use our internet.
00:13:44Sure.
00:13:45Having any luck?
00:13:46Yeah.
00:13:47And why didn't you tell me that Ronald Reagan had visited the wishing well?
00:13:50I mean, you could have saved me a lot of dirt, trouble, cobwebs, and frankly bird poop.
00:13:56Well, the picture of Reagan is right there by the keys if you had actually looked.
00:14:00I asked you if you wanted help and you said no.
00:14:02So don't blame me for seeing what's very clear to anyone that meets you.
00:14:06Which is?
00:14:07You can't see something right in front of your own face.
00:14:08Uh, I don't remember asking for a lecture on journalism or anything else.
00:14:12Well, you asked me why I didn't tell you and I gave you an answer.
00:14:15You're welcome.
00:14:18Dad?
00:14:19Yes, Abby?
00:14:20I've got four things that happened in history for tomorrow's paper.
00:14:24Do I need more?
00:14:25How about one more good one?
00:14:27Okay.
00:14:28Oh, hi!
00:14:30Hi!
00:14:31Are you staying?
00:14:32No, I'm not.
00:14:33I'll be leaving your town as soon as I send my story.
00:14:36Oh.
00:14:37Well.
00:14:38Back to the grind.
00:14:42Huh?
00:14:43We met at the wishing well.
00:14:49Okay.
00:14:50Bye.
00:14:51Bye.
00:14:52Bye.
00:14:53Bye.
00:14:54Bye.
00:14:55Bye.
00:14:56Bye.
00:14:57Bye.

00:15:09Bye.
00:15:10Bye.
00:15:11Bye.
00:15:12Bye.
00:15:13Bye.
00:15:14Bye.
00:15:15Bye.
00:15:16Bye.
00:15:17Bye.
00:15:18Bye.
00:15:32Making your wish again?
00:15:34Yeah.
00:15:36Have to.
00:15:38It'll come true, huh?
00:15:39No.
00:15:42Maybe it's not the right wish.
00:15:44Well, you know, one of the rules is that you have to believe.
00:15:48I do.
00:15:50Do you think it's broken?
00:15:54I don't know.
00:15:57Guess I'll try again.
00:16:00Maybe your wish shouldn't be a secret.
00:16:03You think?
00:16:04Maybe you should tell somebody.
00:16:06I could tell you.
00:16:07I guess if you're leaving, it'd still be kind of a secret.
00:16:12Yeah.
00:16:14I'm wishing for my dad to be happy.
00:16:17Oh.
00:16:18I shouldn't have told you.
00:16:20No, no, no. I'm glad you did.
00:16:22It's just, your dad didn't seem unhappy when I saw him.
00:16:26I know.
00:16:28He does that for me.
00:16:32Because he doesn't want me to see him sad.
00:16:35But I know because we don't like to talk about it.
00:16:42Well, I have an idea.
00:16:43I make a wish, and then at the same time you make a wish,
00:16:46and we'll see if we can get this old wishing well to work again.
00:16:49Okay.
00:16:50But you have to use your own wish.
00:16:53Oh, okay.
00:16:55You got a quarter?
00:16:56Yeah.
00:16:58I wish I knew how to be happy.
00:17:11Abby?
00:17:13Uh-oh.
00:17:14What?
00:17:15Abby?
00:17:17My dad doesn't really like me hanging around making wishes here.
00:17:20He says it's a waste of time.
00:17:22Uh-oh.
00:17:25You're still here?
00:17:27Well, I couldn't leave town without making a final wish in the famous wishing well.
00:17:32Abby was kind enough to show me how it worked.
00:17:35It's all on the wrist.
00:17:36Yeah, well, let's let Miss Tamerlane get going.
00:17:38I'm sure she's got a plan to catch back to New York.
00:17:41Come back and visit us, okay?
00:17:43Okay.
00:18:00Excuse me.
00:18:01No problem.
00:18:02No problem.
00:18:09I wish I knew how to be happy.
00:18:12Anything you want starts by believing it can happen, especially a wish.
00:18:16How do you know it's the right wish?
00:18:18When it comes true.
00:18:21Miss Tamerlane, it's 8 a.m. here at the Slow Creek Inn.
00:18:25This is your wake-up call.
00:18:28What am I doing in Slow Creek?
00:18:32I don't know.
00:18:42Petersburg, Nebraska?
00:18:44I'm not from Nebraska.
00:18:49What?
00:18:56I'm ready to pick up.
00:18:59Hello, no one is available to take your call.
00:19:02Please leave a message after the tone.
00:19:05Rach, it's Cynthia.
00:19:06Something really weird's going on.
00:19:08Could you call me immediately?
00:19:23These are my clues.
00:19:29Nice size, but...
00:19:43Where is my laptop?
00:19:45Excuse me.
00:19:50Excuse me.
00:19:52Oh, Miss Tamerlane, can I help you?
00:19:54Yes, someone's been in my room.
00:19:56And they took all of my things.
00:19:58Everything.
00:19:59And replaced them with, well, things that are not mine.
00:20:03I don't know what to say.
00:20:05But I can assure you that no one, but no one has been in your room
00:20:09since you signed that week-to-week agreement yesterday.
00:20:12Week-to-week agreement?
00:20:14I didn't sign a week-to-week agreement.
00:20:17Oh, just a moment.
00:20:23Here.
00:20:24This.
00:20:26No, no, there's been a mistake.
00:20:29But that is your signature, isn't it?
00:20:34Look, Mr. Big Jim, I'm a journalist.
00:20:37And I'm gonna find out what's going on.
00:20:40Believe me, I will get to the bottom of it.
00:20:57Good morning.
00:21:10Good morning.
00:21:11Don't be funny.
00:21:15I'm looking at it right now.
00:21:16I've got a copy of it right here in the files.
00:21:18Absolutely.
00:21:21Excuse me, you're Cynthia Tamerlane.
00:21:23Yeah, that's right.
00:21:24She's here!
00:21:26Oh, hey, we wondered where you were.
00:21:28Look, please, try to be here by 7, 7.30.
00:21:31I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:21:33Well, you're supposed to start working here today.
00:21:35We come in at 7.30.
00:21:37Me? Work here?
00:21:39Yes, you.
00:21:40Here.
00:21:41Work.
00:21:42No, no, no, there's been a mistake.
00:21:44I'm here to do a story for Celeb Magazine.
00:21:47I mean, Great Housekeeping.
00:21:49Ooh, now I love Great Housekeeping.
00:21:52I love that magazine.
00:21:53Do you know if you put a raw egg in when you first plant a tomato, they grow better?
00:21:57Uh, no, Miss Tamerlane, I hired you to fill in as a reporter?
00:22:00No.
00:22:01We talked on the phone, you're from Nebraska.
00:22:05Okay, there's something really crazy going on here.
00:22:09Really crazy.
00:22:11Maybe we should just get started.
00:22:15Chronicle.
00:22:17Yes, hold on one minute.
00:22:20It's Mr. Upshaw from the Vernon Newspaper Syndicate again.
00:22:23Do you want to talk to him?
00:22:25I do not.
00:22:28Yes, Mr. Upshaw, he's in the bathroom.
00:22:31Yes, I'm sure he will call you back as soon as he's available.
00:22:35But, you know, he took a magazine in there with him.
00:22:39Yeah, it could mean...
00:22:40Here, look, here's your first assignment if you're ready.
00:22:42No, I'm not ready.
00:22:44I'm here to do a story on the Wishing Well.
00:22:47We don't need another story on the Wishing Well.
00:22:49We've done hundreds of them over the years.
00:22:51This is a good story, it's Martin Six Memorial Service.
00:22:53It's tomorrow morning.
00:23:03Okay, you hired her.
00:23:18Tyson Munson's office.
00:23:20Tyson Munson?
00:23:21Yes, this is Tyson Munson's office.
00:23:23No, it's not. It's my office.
00:23:26Would you like to talk to him?
00:23:28No, I wouldn't like to talk to him.
00:23:30I mean, yes, I would like to talk to him.
00:23:32But, no, this is not his office.
00:23:34Could you just put him on now?
00:23:36And whom may I say is calling?
00:23:38Who's calling?
00:23:39Cynthia Terry.
00:23:40Cynthia Terry.
00:23:41Cynthia Terry.
00:23:42Cynthia Terry.
00:23:43Cynthia Terry.
00:23:44Cynthia Terry.
00:23:45Who's calling?
00:23:46Cynthia Tamberline, that's who's calling.
00:23:48One moment, please.
00:23:50Cynthia Tamberline?
00:23:54I'm sorry.
00:23:55Mr. Munson would like to know what the call is in reference to.
00:23:58What is what?
00:23:59Is he insane?
00:24:01You tell him that this call is in reference to the fact that he is fired.
00:24:05I don't think I understood you.
00:24:07Fired, okay?
00:24:08Tyson fired.
00:24:10Just as soon as I get back.
00:24:12No, no, no, actually, wait.
00:24:15I'm firing him now.
00:24:16This minute.
00:24:17Okay?
00:24:21Mr. Bosley's office.
00:24:22Zeal, it's Cynthia.
00:24:23Is Bosley available?
00:24:24Who's calling?
00:24:25It's Cynthia.
00:24:26Cynthia who?
00:24:27Tamberline.
00:24:28Could you just put him on?
00:24:30I'm sorry, Ms. Tamberline.
00:24:31Are you with an agency?
00:24:35Hello?
00:24:36Ms. Tamberline, are you there?
00:24:40Look, I'll call him back when he's in a better mood.
00:24:44Okay.

00:27:27Ms. Tamberline?
00:27:28Ms. Tamberline?
00:27:29Ms. Tamberline?
00:27:31Huh?
00:27:32Yes.
00:27:33Said you were going to work for him today.
00:27:35That's good, huh?
00:27:37There you go.
00:27:38Nothing to worry about.
00:27:39I'll see you later.
00:27:43Tom?
00:27:44Hey.
00:27:52I'll pick up some of this slack.
00:27:54It's my fault that we're shorthanded.
00:27:56School board appointment piece is ready.
00:27:58Where are we with the meteor shower story?
00:28:00It'll be ready tomorrow.
00:28:01Great.
00:28:02We'll pencil it in for the leader on Friday.
00:28:04It's going to be beautiful.
00:28:06I guess there's been some confusion.
00:28:08Can I see you for a moment?
00:28:10You're seeing me now?
00:28:12In your office.
00:28:15To be continued.
00:28:18You're ready to work because confusion is not on the calendar and we could really use some help around here.
00:28:23Yes, but I was wondering if you might reiterate my salary considerations.
00:28:35New reporter standard.
00:28:38It...
00:28:39It's what we talked about on the phone.
00:28:41Yeah, but it's so...
00:28:42You come into my office this morning, you talk a bunch of gibberish and then you leave.
00:28:45And then you come back.
00:28:46And in the meantime, Big Jim comes here and he asks if you're working for the paper.
00:28:49And I tell him you are, which I really don't understand why I did.
00:28:52But the question remains.
00:28:53Do you want the job or not?
00:28:54Do you remember meeting me yesterday?
00:28:56Because people in this town depend on this paper and what we need are dependable people to work for it.
00:29:00I asked you for direction.
00:29:02And around here, we all do everything.
00:29:04We answer the phone, we do the reporting, we compose the layouts, we also sell ad space.
00:29:08I use the archives.
00:29:10We have a lot of work to do and we really don't have any time to waste.
00:29:13I went to the warehouse.
00:29:14Going once.
00:29:15Going twice.
00:29:17Yes.
00:29:18Yes, I want the job.
00:29:20Good.
00:29:21I think.
00:29:23Like I said, your first assignment is Martin's sixth funeral.
00:29:25It's tomorrow morning.
00:29:36Do you ever just stop and think how lucky we are?
00:29:40Lucky.
00:29:42Oh, I'm home.
00:29:44I can't believe it, I'm home.
00:29:47It was a dream.
00:29:48Oh, a nightmare.
00:29:50Bad airline food and lack of sleep.
00:29:52And Rachel's here.
00:29:54Of course I'm home.
00:29:55Thank goodness.
00:29:56This doesn't make any sense.
00:29:58No sense at all.
00:30:00Tyson works for me.
00:30:01He's my friend.
00:30:05Wait, is he?
00:30:07Is he really my friend?
00:30:09Are any of them really my friends?
00:30:12I mean, do they look out for what's best for me?
00:30:16Is this really my home?
00:30:18What is this?
00:30:19This is not me.
00:30:20This is not my life.
00:30:48I'm home.
00:31:19Well, Mr. Sixt was a man of few friends.
00:31:23Of those few who knew him, perhaps Mary Williams knew him the best.
00:31:28She would like to say a few words before we convey Mr. Martin Sixt to his final resting place.
00:31:34Mary.
00:31:35Thank you.
00:31:37My father first met Martin Sixt a few years after the Korean War.
00:31:41They didn't know it at the time, but both had been wounded at the Battle of Porkchop Hill.
00:31:46In fact, they both almost died there.
00:31:49Dad said that when he and Martin finally did meet,
00:31:52Martin told him he had no family and no money and no job,
00:31:56and that he was going to die in the war.
00:32:00Dad said that when he and Martin finally did meet,
00:32:03Martin told him he had no family and no money and no place to live,
00:32:07and all Martin wanted was to be able to stay in our shed out back,
00:32:11just for a while until he got back on his feet.
00:32:15And Dad said he could, but there wasn't much out there.
00:32:19No hot water, just a hose bib and a bare bulb hanging down.
00:32:23And Martin said, that's okay, because I don't need very much.
00:32:30So they made a deal, and they shook on it.
00:32:34Martin would pay $12 a month for as long as he wanted to stay there.
00:32:39Growing up, I remember, we didn't see very much of Martin.
00:32:42He kept to himself, mostly.
00:32:44Then later, of course, I got married and moved out and started a family of my own.
00:32:49Then after Dad died in 93 and Mom followed in 98,
00:32:52we rented out the main house.
00:32:55But what do you know?
00:32:57Martin Sixt was still living in the shed out back,
00:33:01still paying $12 on the first of each month.
00:33:05He never missed, not once.
00:33:08He and my father had made a deal, and they both lived up to it.
00:33:14Well, naturally, I felt that it was my job to continue to honor that deal.
00:33:19So now Martin is gone.
00:33:22And the sad thing is, I don't know much more about him than what I've already told you.
00:33:28In fact, most of the town hardly even knew he existed.
00:33:33I do know that he did some woodworking for people, and they were happy with that.
00:33:39And he paid his rent on time like he said he would,
00:33:43because Martin Sixt was a man of his word.
00:33:47And that counts for something.
00:33:50I felt the least I could do was give him a decent burial.
00:33:54Right, Dad?
00:33:57He's smiling.
00:34:00There you have it.
00:34:03That was Martin Sixt.
00:34:10We're going to take the casket out now.
00:34:34Excuse me.
00:34:36Yes?
00:34:38Excuse me.
00:34:39Yes?
00:34:40We're short a pallbearer today. We were wondering if you could oblige us.
00:34:44Me? But I didn't even...
00:34:46Thank you.
00:34:49You're not going out to the cemetery, are you, Mary?
00:34:52No. No, I got a doctor's appointment.
00:34:55Well, we all have to meet our maker by ourselves.
00:34:58I'll say a prayer for you Sunday, Martin.
00:35:01That's very kind of you, Reverend.
00:35:04He's a good man.
00:35:09Hello, Enid.
00:35:12Hello.
00:35:15Hello, Abby, right?
00:35:18Yes.
00:35:21Have we met before?
00:35:24Don't you remember the wishing...
00:35:27Oh, no, we've never met. You're right.
00:35:30Oh. Okay.
00:35:33Oh, no, we've never met. You're right.
00:35:36Oh. Okay.
00:35:39Well, I'm Abby. My dad owns the paper.
00:35:42It's nice to meet you, Abby. My dad owns the paper.
00:35:46He's on assignment right now.
00:35:48Oh.
00:35:50I'm working on my disdain history column.
00:35:54It looks great.
00:35:55Thanks.
00:35:57I am going to go back to my desk.
00:36:00Okay.
00:36:09Everything okay, honey?
00:36:11Very good.
00:36:13And I'd like a glass of pinot noir.
00:36:15Me too, but all I got is plain red.
00:36:17Well, that'll do.
00:36:18Well, I'll just bring it right over.
00:36:21Room at the inn comfy?
00:36:23It's fine.
00:36:25Big Jim is my ex.
00:36:27I always like to make sure he's doing a good job.
00:36:29Really? Well, I had plenty.
00:36:31You have a problem.
00:36:33You just let me know because he'd do anything to shut me up.
00:36:36Will do.
00:36:42May I?
00:36:44Of course.
00:36:46I want to talk to you about the article.
00:36:48On Martin's sixth funeral?
00:36:49Yes.
00:36:50What about it?
00:36:51Simple truth. It's not all there.
00:36:53What?
00:36:54You missed the essence of what this is all about.
00:36:56Are you giving me writing tips?
00:36:58Do you know the cover stories I've written?
00:37:01I'm sorry.
00:37:03Go on.
00:37:04Look, it's not about your writing style. That's fine.
00:37:07It's about substance. That's what you're missing.
00:37:10Okay.
00:37:12Look, Martin's sixth life was no less valuable than anybody else's.
00:37:15Sure, he was private and he was quiet, but he had honor and dignity.
00:37:18Right.
00:37:20Well, he wasn't famous, but there was something about his life that was good, and we can all benefit from it.
00:37:25He kept his word.
00:37:27I understand.
00:37:29All right, well, get the rewrite done as soon as possible.
00:37:32I'm saving room on page two. Tomorrow's edition.
00:37:35Okay, definitely.
00:37:37Look, I'm not normally so hard on people that I work with, but you're good.
00:37:42You could just be better.
00:37:45The office will be open all evening.
00:37:51Mark, your food's ready.
00:37:53Thank you, Donette.
00:37:57Good night.
00:38:12Hi.
00:38:13Hi.
00:38:21Good night, Daddy.
00:38:22Good night, baby.
00:38:24Good night, Cynthia.
00:38:26Good night, Abby.
00:38:32Hello, Chronicle?
00:38:35Mr. Upshaw from the Vernon Newspaper Syndicate?
00:38:39No, no, he's not here right now.
00:38:42You're right, he does stay and work late sometimes.
00:38:47Uh, hang on, let me get a pen.
00:38:50Okay.
00:38:52You want me to tell him that the offer won't be on the table forever, and that if he's smart, he'll take it.
00:39:01Oh, don't write that.
00:39:03Oh, he should just know that.
00:39:07Okay.
00:39:09I'll give him the message.
00:39:11Thank you.
00:39:23Thank you.
00:39:35She'd rather be here with me than with a babysitter all the time.
00:39:39We lost her mother when she was two.
00:39:41I think she misses what she never had.
00:39:43I'm sorry.
00:39:44It's okay, we have a good time.
00:39:45She likes it. It's kind of like camping out, except...
00:39:47Except she's not camping, and she's not out.
00:39:49Exactly.
00:39:50But, we'll go home as soon as I get this paper put to bed.
00:39:54I think it's nice.
00:39:55I did, too.
00:40:19Oh, Miss Tamberline, this is what I call literature.
00:40:35Hey, Mark.
00:40:36Hey, Cynthia, I got your next assignment.
00:40:38Okay, my next assignment?
00:40:39Yeah, get down to the police station and talk to little Jim.
00:40:41Got it.
00:40:49Come on.
00:40:55Thank you.
00:41:00Hi, I'm looking for the police chief.
00:41:03I'm the chief, but people call me little Jim.
00:41:06I'm Big Jim's son.
00:41:07Oh, Cynthia Tamberline from Celeb... The Chronicle.
00:41:12And you're here for the blotter?
00:41:14Yeah.
00:41:16In the last couple of days, we've been out on a barking dog,
00:41:20and a dog who was howling, and another barking dog
00:41:24that turned out to be the same barking dog as the first dog.
00:41:27That's three incidents.
00:41:29That it?
00:41:31We got a call from Mrs. Mullins that Mr. Mullins was staying too long at CJ's bar,
00:41:36and she wanted him to come home.
00:41:38So she called you?
00:41:39It's my auntie, and my uncle wasn't answering his cell phone.
00:41:43But I'd rather you not print that.
00:41:45Big Jim doesn't know.
00:41:50It's our secret.
00:41:51Thanks.
00:41:53Well, see you next time.
00:41:56Little Jim.
00:41:59Hey, little Jim.
00:42:01Where are you going?
00:42:02I'm talking to you.
00:42:04Little Jim.
00:42:06Listen, there's a parking meter on the corner that's out of order.
00:42:10Well, it's taking people's money, and it's not giving them any time on the meter.
00:42:17That's theft.
00:42:19People are being robbed.
00:42:21And what are the police doing about it?
00:42:23Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
00:42:25It's outrageous.
00:42:26I can't understand why it wouldn't give a hoot about that.
00:42:29I just...
00:42:30Oh.
00:42:31I know who you are.
00:42:33You're Cynthia Tamerline, right?
00:42:35Yes. Look, I'm sorry if I...
00:42:37I read your article this morning on Martin Sixt.
00:42:40I'd like to pay you a compliment.
00:42:42He was beautiful.
00:42:44And so true.
00:42:45My article.
00:42:46You really captured him.
00:42:48Martin would have been very appreciative.
00:42:50He loved the Chronicle.
00:42:52Used to read it every day from cover to cover.
00:42:54Well, most people in this town do.
00:42:57Anyway, thank you.
00:43:00Thank... Thank you.
00:43:02Let's go.
00:43:33Because in the end, it really comes down to you
00:43:40In the end, your life becomes what you choose to do
00:43:46And I see it when it shows light
00:43:54And I know it, there's no compromise
00:44:01And it's my life, and nothing will stop me
00:44:05He's deal, it's Cynthia.
00:44:09And in the end, it all comes down to me
00:44:16In the end, it all comes down to me
00:44:30In the end, it all comes down to me
00:45:01Hey, Rach, it's me.
00:45:03Why aren't you taking my calls?
00:45:05I really need to talk to you.
00:45:07Can you please call me back as soon as you can?
00:45:10It's very important that I talk to you, okay?
00:45:13Bye.
00:45:23Making a wish?
00:45:26Making a wish?
00:45:30I keep wishing, but I wonder if it's ever gonna happen.
00:45:36Are you sad?
00:45:38Yeah, I guess I am.
00:45:40I understand.
00:45:42My dad is sad too.
00:45:44Why is he sad?
00:45:45Because my mommy died.
00:45:47I know, I'm sorry.
00:45:50Sometimes at night, I'll hear something
00:45:53and I go see what it is.
00:45:55And it's daddy, and he's crying.
00:45:59And I don't know what to do.
00:46:01I mean, I'll help him as much as I can at the paper.
00:46:05He works so hard.
00:46:07I'm sure he appreciates all your help.
00:46:09Yeah, but it's not enough.
00:46:11I know it's not.
00:46:13And that makes me sad.
00:46:15Everybody gets sad.
00:46:18You know what I do when I get sad?
00:46:20What?
00:46:21I treat myself to a makeover.
00:46:23And I'm thinking, both you and I deserve a makeover.
00:46:27Really?
00:46:28Yes, really. Come on.
00:46:30Like I said, Mark, I'd like to help.
00:46:33But those funds are committed for city services.
00:46:36Well, the paper's important to the city also.
00:46:38Hey, no argument there, my friend.
00:46:41Hey, Dad.
00:46:42Cynthia's gonna give me a makeover, so we won't be sad anymore.
00:46:45Just a little fun.
00:46:47Okay, have a good time.
00:46:49Let's go.
00:46:51You got a cutie there, boy.
00:46:53She's just like her mom.
00:46:54Well, make that shot. Let's see ya.
00:46:56That tickles.
00:46:58Well, wait until you get older,
00:47:00and you have to start plucking your eyebrows.
00:47:03That is not so fun.
00:47:05You tear out your eyebrow hair?
00:47:07That's right.
00:47:08Doesn't it hurt?
00:47:09Well, sometimes beauty means sacrifice.
00:47:12Well, I'm gonna let mine go.
00:47:14And come in really nicely.
00:47:16That could work.
00:47:18You could even braid them,
00:47:20and turn it into a fashion trend.
00:47:22That's silly.
00:47:23It is silly.
00:47:25Is this what it's like to have a mommy?
00:47:29Well, yeah.
00:47:31Yeah, someone to have fun with,
00:47:33and learn things from,
00:47:35and go shopping with.
00:47:37I mean, I still do all those things with my mom.
00:47:40That sounds nice.
00:47:42Wow.
00:47:43You still have your mom.
00:47:45You're lucky.
00:47:48Come in.
00:47:53Wow.
00:47:54Don't you look beautiful?
00:47:56She's a natural beauty.
00:47:57Yeah, I'm a natural beauty.
00:47:59Well, my natural beauty,
00:48:01why don't we get out of Cynthia's room,
00:48:02so she can get some rest?
00:48:04Okay.
00:48:05What do you say?
00:48:06Thanks, Cynthia.
00:48:07It was my pleasure.
00:48:09Thank you.
00:48:11See you tomorrow?
00:48:12Yes.
00:48:14Good night.
00:48:15Good night.
00:48:19Mark.
00:48:24I...
00:48:26I was wondering if you wanted me to write another story.
00:48:29Uh, yeah, actually.
00:48:30I was thinking about doing something
00:48:32on Kenny James' lighter collection.
00:48:34Lighter collection?
00:48:36Yeah, he's this guy who has a bunch of cigarette lighters.
00:48:39Right, right, okay.
00:48:40I want you to know that I'm really glad that you're with us.
00:48:43You're doing a lot of really great work.
00:48:45You think?
00:48:46Absolutely.
00:48:47Then why all the blue-line notes?
00:48:52Well, they help you be as great as I know you can be.
00:48:55Then you'll be happy.
00:48:57Good night.
00:48:58Good night.
00:48:59Let's go, kiddo.
00:49:00Okay, bye.
00:49:17Good night.
00:49:35She's nice.
00:49:37Cynthia?
00:49:38Yeah, I think so, too.
00:49:41Is she like Mom used to be?
00:49:43No, nobody's like Mommy used to be.
00:49:47Is there such a thing as two of a kind?
00:49:49No.
00:49:50But could there be another of a kind?
00:49:52I don't know.
00:49:53You're asking some hard questions here.
00:49:55What are you, a reporter?
00:50:02This one, they used to give away
00:50:04with cigarettes called Blue Devils
00:50:06to soldiers going into the war in the early 1940s.
00:50:09That's interesting.
00:50:10What's your most valuable one?
00:50:13Guy offered me $2,000 for it.
00:50:16Why didn't you take it?
00:50:18Well, that's just money.
00:50:20I've spent my whole life accumulating these.
00:50:23Of course.
00:50:24Sometimes I play a little game
00:50:26and I try to see how many I can light in, like, 30 seconds.
00:50:29I bet that's fun.
00:50:3021 would be a new record.
00:50:32I'm thinking about going for it.
00:50:34Then I'd be famous.
00:50:37Good night.
00:50:43You back in Keeney's?
00:50:45Yes.
00:50:46Quite a collection.
00:50:48Yeah, he's a bit eccentric.
00:50:49Well, that's putting it mildly.
00:50:51You want to hear something weird about Keeney?
00:50:53There's more?
00:50:54He doesn't smoke.
00:51:04Hello?
00:51:05Cynthia, I need you to get to Keeney James House.
00:51:07At Keeney James House?
00:51:08Yeah, I'll meet you there.
00:51:09Thanks.
00:51:12Come on, pack him out.
00:51:14Hurry up, hurry up.
00:51:17Go.
00:51:18Go.
00:51:19Come on, get some pressure on here.
00:51:20Turn it on.
00:51:21Keeney, are you okay?
00:51:23I'm all right.
00:51:24I fell down when I got outside.
00:51:26I hurt my ankle.
00:51:29I didn't see a thing.
00:51:31What happened?
00:51:32I set the new lighter lighting record.
00:51:35Had 21 of them going at once.
00:51:37Then I noticed the first one had got too near the curtains.
00:51:40Went up like that.
00:51:41Got some water.
00:51:42That's what I thought it was.
00:51:44Threw it on the curtains.
00:51:46Turned out it was vodka.
00:51:47I'm afraid it's total loss, Keeney.
00:51:49With the smoke and the fire inside and the water having to pour on it.
00:51:52It's all right, Charlie.
00:51:54It was my fault.
00:51:55How's your insurance?
00:51:56Had it up until last year.
00:51:58But I lost my job in Springboro.
00:52:02I'm going to take you to emergency.
00:52:03Have them hook you over.
00:52:12Sorry.
00:52:13I had to take Abby to Don Metz.
00:52:14What happened?
00:52:15Keeney paid his price for fame.
00:52:18Look, you wrote a terrific article on Keeney.
00:52:20Yeah, but we can't run it.
00:52:22What?
00:52:23I can hold the printers while we write an addendum to your article.
00:52:25We have something here.
00:52:26A breaking story.
00:52:27No, that'll take too long.
00:52:28It'll be tight.
00:52:29But if we work together, we can make this happen.
00:52:31All right, let's go.
00:52:41Hey.
00:52:42Hey.
00:52:44Hey.
00:53:12Hey.
00:53:25Good morning.
00:53:27Nice work.
00:53:28Did a good job, huh?
00:53:33Hey, great article.
00:53:35You're turning out to be a first-rate writer.
00:53:38Well, thanks.
00:53:39But it was mostly Mark.
00:53:41All right, got your next assignment.
00:53:42City council meeting at noon.
00:53:47Keeney.
00:53:49Keeney.
00:53:51Are you all right?
00:53:52Sure.
00:53:54I want to thank you for what you wrote about me.
00:53:56It was special.
00:53:58I don't have my collection or my house anymore, but I got your article.
00:54:06Things will get better.
00:54:08Oh, I got you.
00:54:09They can't get much worse.
00:54:14So, my recommendation is that we vote for a new levee for the reservoir.
00:54:20John?
00:54:21Me.
00:54:22Now, this levee was built in 1927 by our predecessors,
00:54:27so I think we owe it to the future generations of Slow Creek
00:54:31that they receive good water and plenty of it.
00:54:36So, I vote that we get funds for it.
00:54:39I second the motion.
00:54:41So, now let's call the vote.
00:54:43All those in favor?
00:54:45Aye.
00:54:46All opposed?
00:54:49All right, the motion is passed.
00:54:51All right.
00:54:52Do we have any new business?
00:54:55May I ask a question?
00:54:57Well, go ahead.
00:55:02Keeney lost everything in the fire.
00:55:04His lighter collection, his house, everything.
00:55:09And I was just wondering if there was something we could do to help him.
00:55:13Keeney was an idiot. He was always an idiot.
00:55:16That's true, Nelbert.
00:55:18But he's our idiot, and now he's lost everything.
00:55:21What is wrong with you, Nelbert?
00:55:23You know the Connelly house, Big Jim?
00:55:25The town owns that, right?
00:55:27Well, what's on your mind, Little Jim?
00:55:29I say we lease it to him cheap and he fixes it up.
00:55:31Well, now, do I hear a motion to that effect?
00:55:36May I?
00:55:37You may.
00:55:47Chronicle.
00:55:51Yes, the meteor shower is tonight.
00:55:54It's going to be on full display in the southern sky.
00:55:57I thought you said the loan would be approved.
00:55:59No, I don't have any more collateral.
00:56:02No, I don't understand.
00:56:04Look, I need you to understand that I don't know how to make this paper run without it.
00:56:12Hi.
00:56:13Hi.
00:56:14At the city council meeting?
00:56:15Yes.
00:56:16Anything good?
00:56:18They voted to let Keeney have the old Connelly place.
00:56:21I bet your article helped.
00:56:23Maybe. I hope so.
00:56:24Well, thank you.
00:56:26So, what's my next assignment?
00:56:28Look, why don't you take a break?
00:56:29Go to Donna Anne's, have a coffee.
00:56:31I'll let you know.
00:56:32Okay.
00:57:00You going tonight?
00:57:02Where?
00:57:03To the meteor shower.
00:57:05Most people are going to see it from Grubbers Field because it's got the clearest view to the south.
00:57:09Well, I hadn't planned on it.
00:57:11Well, you have to.
00:57:13It's going to be so beautiful, and there hasn't been one here since 1935.
00:57:16Oh, I don't know.
00:57:18Well, you're going with me, and I don't take no for an answer.
00:57:21You'll love it, and Mark is sure to be there.
00:57:24What does that have to do with anything?
00:57:26Oh, nothing.
00:57:27Except everything.
00:57:29Unless I'm wrong, which I'm not, ever.
00:57:31He's kind of...
00:57:35He's a very good person.
00:57:37Oh, good person.
00:57:41Well, I like that.
00:57:43That's funny.
00:57:44What?
00:57:45Same thing he said about you.
00:57:53It's going to start right up there.
00:57:55No, no, it's not.
00:57:57It's that way.
00:57:58Right up there, buddy.
00:57:59Right up there.
00:58:00That's where they're coming.
00:58:01No, no, the weatherman said south of town.
00:58:03What south of town?
00:58:04Are you kidding?
00:58:05No, he said south, south, south of town.
00:58:07This is where it's going to be, my boy.
00:58:09Right there.
00:58:11Right.
00:58:13Quite a turnout.
00:58:15Well, sure.
00:58:17People see a big thing like this, it reminds them of how large the heavens are,
00:58:22and how little time we have on this earth to do what we're supposed to do.
00:58:28What are we supposed to do?
00:58:30Make the most of what we are,
00:58:32welcome love when we find it,
00:58:35and be happy.
00:58:36Oh, is that all?
00:58:38Honey, that's not only all, that's everything.
00:58:41Hi, guys, nice to see you.
00:58:42You're like the mayor.
00:58:43Oh, well, that's what happens when you were married to the mayor for a while.
00:58:47A lot of people owe you money for food.
00:58:50Hey, Danette.
00:58:51Oh, you have Cynthia here.
00:58:52Sure did.
00:58:53Hi.
00:58:54This is Cynthia Tamlin.
00:58:55This is Michael and Kenny for the Chronicle.
00:58:58You really got Kenny down.
00:58:59Well, thank you.
00:59:00Thank you very much.
00:59:01Oh, you have a nice evening, now.
00:59:03You, too, Albert.
00:59:07He's a phenomenal editor.
00:59:09He's also made me a better writer.
00:59:10Well, he thinks you're naturally talented.
00:59:13Huh.
00:59:14You know how the funny thing is?
00:59:16I've always wanted to be a great writer.
00:59:19Since I started out at the magazine, I...
00:59:23I never stopped to say, what am I writing?
00:59:26What could I be?
00:59:28What do I want?
00:59:30Well, honey, you know, I can't think of a single person that can change the past.
00:59:35But the future?
00:59:38That's still up in the air.
00:59:40Hi, Abby.
00:59:41Hi, little peeper.
00:59:44Can't you sit with us?
00:59:45Oh, I don't know.
00:59:46Oh, go ahead.
00:59:47I gotta sit with Big Jim and the family.
00:59:50Well, they owe me more than anybody in this town.
00:59:52And this is my opportunity to collect.
00:59:58Let's find my dad.
00:59:59Okay.
01:00:01I found her.
01:00:03Hey, glad you could make it.
01:00:07You can have my seat.
01:00:08I've got this one.
01:00:09Here, baby.
01:00:10Thanks.
01:00:15Everybody's talking about the whole Kenny thing.
01:00:17I'm just glad everything's gonna work out for him.
01:00:19Yeah, well, it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for you.
01:00:22Well, you had a lot to do with it, too.
01:00:26My point is that...
01:00:30And I really want you to remember this.
01:00:33No matter what happens.
01:00:36You're a really good writer.
01:00:39You've hit your stride.
01:00:41You could pretty much go anywhere you wanted and do well.
01:00:43Sounds ominous.
01:00:44Well...
01:00:46I should probably tell you this because you are gonna be affected by it.
01:00:49What?
01:00:50Tomorrow...
01:00:52A man named Mr. Upshaw is coming to town to buy the Chronicle.
01:00:56He owns Vernon Newspapers.
01:00:57It's a syndicate of smaller papers that he's bought up.
01:01:00Usually because they were struggling.
01:01:01That's who's been calling?
01:01:03He's been after me for a while.
01:01:04Are you gonna sell?
01:01:06I have to face reality.
01:01:08It's not like the Chronicle's a money-making operation.
01:01:11On a good year, we break even.
01:01:12And we haven't had a good year for a while.
01:01:15This is too bad.
01:01:17You know, it's stories like Teenie's that make this even worse.
01:01:19I don't understand.
01:01:21Upshaw's operation, it puts out a generic paper.
01:01:24There's almost no local news.
01:01:26And they buy national and international stories and just repackage them.
01:01:30The strength of the Chronicle and papers like it is that they're the fabric of the town.
01:01:34And they give a place like Slow Creek an identity.
01:01:37It's exactly why my great-grandfather started it in the first place.
01:01:39I figure that they'll probably just make it a one-person office.
01:01:42You know, eat it, most likely.
01:01:44She'll be there to keep the doors open.
01:01:46You're not gonna be there?
01:01:48It's not the kind of place I'd want to be.
01:01:49But you love that paper.
01:01:50I do.
01:01:51But now I'll be able to pay off the whole slew of debts.
01:01:55Be able to have some insurance for her future.
01:01:58You know, what's funny is that when I was younger, I hated the paper.
01:02:03So, I got out of town.
01:02:05I found a job.
01:02:06So, I got out of town.
01:02:08Went to Chicago.
01:02:10Got on staff at the Herald.
01:02:12And I did pretty well.
01:02:14I got promoted to the city desk.
01:02:17I was in line for a department editor.
01:02:19Really?
01:02:20And then I suddenly found myself as a single parent.
01:02:25So, we came back home.
01:02:28I took over the paper for my dad.
01:02:32At first, it was really hard.
01:02:33Eventually, I started to love it.
01:02:36You did a really good job.
01:02:39Look at this.
01:02:40Look, it's starting.
01:02:46Hey, I see one.
01:02:47Wow.
01:02:48That looks cool.
01:02:49Start it.
01:02:50That looks cool.
01:02:51Start it.
01:03:05Oh, wow.
01:03:08Oh, man.
01:03:11Look at that.
01:03:12That's right.
01:03:14I knew it.
01:03:18That's it, boys.
01:03:21Oh, wow.
01:03:27Well, all right.
01:03:29See you at the house.
01:03:31Yeah, thank you.
01:03:32See you later.
01:03:34Oh, there you are.
01:03:36Oh, wasn't it amazing?
01:03:38It was beautiful.
01:03:42Well, hey, I have an idea.
01:03:45Why don't I take Abby for a little while to my house?
01:03:48Where there's a blueberry pie that needs tasting.
01:03:51What do you say?
01:03:52That sounds nice.
01:03:54I like blueberry pie.
01:03:57Maybe you and I can do something.
01:03:59I'd love to.
01:04:10You've done a really great job with Abby.
01:04:12She's a wonderful girl.
01:04:15Thanks.
01:04:16I don't want to give her moments, but she's turned out pretty good.
01:04:19Done most of it on her own.
01:04:20Lucky for me.
01:04:22Still, it had to be really hard.
01:04:25At times.
01:04:29I'm really sorry for your job at the newspaper.
01:04:32You don't have to apologize.
01:04:35Like you said, I could get a job anywhere else.
01:04:37Am I selling out?
01:04:39I think you're doing what you have to do.
01:04:41I just feel like I'm betraying my dad and his dad.
01:04:45And that just seems wrong.
01:04:48You know, you could always try the wishing well.
01:04:50I wish I believed in it.
01:04:52Well, that is one of the rules.
01:04:54Believing.
01:04:55Is that so?
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:58And also, having the right wish.
01:05:01How do you know when it's the right wish?
01:05:03When it comes true.
01:05:04I believe Abby has gotten to you.
01:05:06She has.
01:05:08And so have you.
01:05:09And so have you.
01:05:13This whole place.
01:05:32Hey, thanks again.
01:05:34It was my pleasure.
01:05:35And believe me, it has been a very long time since I've said that to anyone.
01:05:52Well, maybe I shouldn't believe in miracles.
01:05:55Because I never thought I'd want to kiss a woman like that again.
01:05:59That's funny.
01:06:01No.
01:06:02It's just...
01:06:03The thing is, the guy once said to me,
01:06:06I couldn't see what was in front of my face.
01:06:09Maybe now I can.
01:06:17Better.
01:06:19Okay, well, I'm gonna...
01:06:22I'm gonna go get Abby.
01:06:23Yeah.
01:06:24Get Abby.
01:06:25Good night.
01:06:26Good night.
01:06:33Good night.
01:07:03Good night.
01:07:33Good night.
01:07:39Hello.
01:07:41I'm Mr. Offshaw.
01:07:43And you are?
01:07:44Enid.
01:07:46Enid.
01:07:49And who is this?
01:07:51This is Cynthia.
01:07:52Cynthia.
01:07:55Mr. Jones.
01:07:56Miss Riley.
01:07:57Mark's in his office.
01:08:00Mark!
01:08:01They're here.
01:08:04Hi, I'm Mark Jansen.
01:08:06Yes, of course.
01:08:08Well, shall we go to my office?
01:08:10Yes.
01:08:11This shouldn't take long.
01:08:12We've done up all the papers.
01:08:24I never thought I'd see the day.
01:08:27Mark said he thought they'd keep you to stay and run the office.
01:08:31Fat chance!
01:08:32If he goes, I go.
01:08:34Let them find their own idiot to do whatever it is they do and call it a newspaper.
01:08:38Enid!
01:08:39What?
01:08:40Enid, I need to talk to Mark.
01:08:42He's busy.
01:08:44Hi.
01:08:46Hi, Abby.
01:08:48Well, I really need to talk to him right away.
01:08:50Look, Mary, if this is some complaint about the newspaper, you can just say...
01:08:54No, it's not a complaint.
01:08:55This newspaper is about to have a new owner in a matter of minutes.
01:08:59Well, then he's really gonna want to talk to me.
01:09:01Mary, what's happened?
01:09:04As you can see, we've made it very simple for you.
01:09:10Well, you've made it simple for yourself, let's be honest.
01:09:14I'm not here to force you.
01:09:16You called me, remember?
01:09:32Mark!
01:09:34Mark, wait!
01:09:38What?
01:09:39Did you sign anything yet?
01:09:40No.
01:09:41Oh, Daddy.
01:09:42You've got to hear this.
01:09:43What?
01:09:44Mark, come over here.
01:09:45You have to see this.
01:09:49What is it?
01:09:50This is the last will and testament of Martin Sixth.
01:09:54Martin had a will?
01:09:55I know.
01:09:56I couldn't believe it myself.
01:09:57But we went to his shed.
01:09:58I couldn't believe it myself.
01:09:59But we went to his shed where he lived for 60 years and paid $12 a month.
01:10:03And there it was.
01:10:04It's notarized and everything.
01:10:05Legal and all.
01:10:07So?
01:10:08A man had a will.
01:10:10What's that got to do with finishing this sale?
01:10:12Well, if you'll be quiet, I'll tell you what.
01:10:18Because Martin paid just $12 a month for 60 years,
01:10:21he managed to save virtually all of his money.
01:10:24Which turns out to be quite a pile.
01:10:26If you consider the interest and such.
01:10:28And he's left it all to the Slow Creek Chronicle.
01:10:31As long as ownership of the paper remains exactly as it is.
01:10:36I knew he loved the Chronicle.
01:10:38I guess someone's wish came true.
01:10:41We're saved.
01:10:42We're saved!
01:10:56No!
01:11:10Ladies and gentlemen, we're beginning our final approach into New York.
01:11:14Please put your chairbacks in the upright position.
01:11:27Ladies and gentlemen, please stay seated until the seatbelt sign has been turned off.
01:11:36Hello?
01:11:37Back in civilization?
01:11:39Rachel?
01:11:40Oh, don't say it like that.
01:11:42Like my mother says it.
01:11:44As if I don't call her three times a week.
01:11:48No, I...
01:11:50I'm just feeling...
01:11:51Relieved?
01:11:53I don't know.
01:11:54All right.
01:11:55Coffee in the morning?
01:11:56You know, I have to be into the office early.
01:11:58That Angela interview came through.
01:12:00You're kidding!
01:12:01Congratulations!
01:12:03Yeah.
01:12:04Well...
01:12:05Make sure Bosley pays for sending you to the boonies.
01:12:07Okay.
01:12:08Wait, Rachel.
01:12:10Why didn't you call me back?
01:12:11When?
01:12:12When I left you all those messages.
01:12:14You didn't leave any messages.
01:12:15And I always call you back.
01:12:17All right, call me after the interview.
01:12:18Thank God you're back from Indiana.
01:12:20Illinois?
01:12:51I love you.
01:12:52I love you.
01:13:19Tyson.
01:13:20Good morning!
01:13:21You look great.
01:13:22Fantastic about the interview.
01:13:24I'm just straightening out here.
01:13:26So, the new stuff is...
01:13:28There's the Met opening for the Impressionist Collection.
01:13:31That's Thursday.
01:13:32Bobby's show is Friday.
01:13:33Tyson.
01:13:34What?
01:13:36Have I been okay?
01:13:38Okay?
01:13:39No, you've been in Illinois.
01:13:41Oh, by the way, Angela's people have called twice to confirm you really did it.
01:13:46Right.
01:13:47So, who do you want first?
01:13:49Just give me a minute, okay?
01:13:56I understand.
01:13:57It's your big day.
01:13:58You want to get yourself ready.
01:14:00Take your time.
01:14:01I mean, I would if I needed it, which I don't.
01:14:03So, uh, I will hold everything and you can prep.
01:14:20Go ahead.
01:14:22I'm telling you, it's going to be huge.
01:14:24Oh, here's my star reporter now.
01:14:26Yeah, I'll get right back to you.
01:14:27There she is.
01:14:29Oh, you look fantastic.
01:14:32Thanks.
01:14:33So, are you ready?
01:14:35What happened to I think you've lost your edge?
01:14:39What are you talking about?
01:14:40You sent me to Slow Creek, Illinois.
01:14:42The wishing well?
01:14:43Well, okay, so maybe I was trying to shake you up a little bit.
01:14:48So you wrote an article for Great Housekeeping.
01:14:50Big whoop.
01:14:51By the way, did I tell you I think it was a work of genius?
01:14:55All right, so what is this?
01:14:56This is like a, like a kind of gotcha kind of thing, right?
01:14:59Now look, you did the Indiana thing.
01:15:01Let's just forget it ever happened.
01:15:06Illinois.
01:15:07Well, Illinois, Indiana.
01:15:10What's the diff?
01:15:12You really ought to get going.
01:15:13You know, you should be on your way to the Ritz.
01:15:15Meet Angela for that interview.
01:15:16I'm pretty sure Sherman will have already set up for the cover shot by now.
01:15:21What, what, what is it?
01:15:23You, uh, fisting my arm?
01:15:25Blackmail?
01:15:26Fine, no problem.
01:15:28You've got it.
01:15:30What?
01:15:31Well, the, uh, the raise.
01:15:33Promotion to editor, whatever you want.
01:15:35Look, you got the interview.
01:15:36It has to be the most impossible interview to get in the world.
01:15:39So, you deserve it.
01:15:40And if I don't give it to you, some other rag's gonna sneak in and steal you away.
01:15:45Editor?
01:15:46Yeah, well, I am the owner and publisher, so editor is about as far as I can go.
01:15:52Look, uh, but you really ought to be going.
01:15:55Angela's not one to wait, and we really need those million extra sales.
01:15:59Editor.
01:16:00Yes, editor.
01:16:01Look, I'll double your expense account, but that's it.
01:16:04I've given you everything I can, except my blood.
01:16:06Now, please, go.
01:16:15Have you ever been to Illinois?
01:16:17No.
01:16:18Been to Manhattan my whole life.
01:16:20Wouldn't want to go to a place with so many trees.
01:16:22They make me nervous.
01:16:24They make me happy.
01:16:37Wait!
01:16:38What? What happened? You alright?
01:16:39Take me to the airport.
01:16:40What about the interview?
01:16:41I'm gonna skip it.
01:16:42JFK, please.
01:17:09Look who's back.
01:17:10Look who's back.
01:17:13Hello, Mark. Hi, Abby.
01:17:16It was a pleasure to see me again, I'm sure you were about to say.
01:17:19Actually, that's exactly what I was about to say.
01:17:21It's a pleasure to see you both.
01:17:23Did you make a wish?
01:17:24Well, I was gonna, but I think my wish already came true.
01:17:28I think maybe mine did, too.
01:17:30Can't you have lunch with us, Daddy?
01:17:31Uh, sure. It's just a little celebration.
01:17:34It's the strangest thing. It's like a miracle.
01:17:36A guy gave us the money to keep the Chronicle open.
01:17:40I'd love to.
01:17:41Alright.
01:18:11You don't know who I am, do you?
01:18:15First, let's color this leaf.
01:18:19What?
01:18:20You don't know who I am, do you?
01:18:21Who cares? I don't care.
01:18:24Who cares?
01:18:27Who cares?
01:18:28Who cares?
01:18:31I don't like you.
01:18:33I don't like you.
01:18:40Who's that?
01:18:47Who was that?
01:18:48Sorry, I can't answer that.
01:18:50I can't answer that either, Mom.
