00:04:26With whom
00:04:27Everybody knows Los Santos grapes suck. No, there's another interested party
00:04:32You're gonna find out who they are what their resources are and then on the 23rd
00:04:37We're gonna swoop in and we're gonna outbid them

00:25:05Oh
00:25:15Mother
00:25:16Society as a whole has decided that texting is the preferred mode of communication
00:25:21Texting is crude. There's a reason they invented the telephone after the telegraph
00:25:26Yes, but autocorrect in the misuse of emoticons by the elderly
00:25:31Provides constant family entertainment very funny. Have you made any progress?
00:25:35Mom, I've got this
00:25:37It turns out there are a bunch of potential bidders, but I figured out a way to find the highest bid
00:25:43And what's that? I'm staying at the house of the realtor in charge of it
00:25:48How are you possibly
00:26:05Mr. Carter, aren't you supposed to be working or something?
00:26:17It's called self-care kid, this is how grown-ups like me
00:26:21Stay at levels of peak performance
00:26:24You're not like a normal grown-up
00:26:27Oh, thank you
00:26:29What's with the snowboard? She's a snowboarder. I'm a snowboarder
00:26:33Thank you
00:26:34What's with the snowboard? Did you already give up on skateboarding?
00:26:38My dad gave snowboards to me and fed for christmas a couple years ago
00:26:41We were supposed to go on a trip to tahoe, but we never did
00:26:44Mom says we might be able to go this year. I wanted to figure out how to use him
00:26:51I don't want to suck at everything first good at everything. Okay. Well, i'm sure your dad just got really busy
00:26:57I bet she takes you this year
00:27:00He didn't get busy
00:27:03He did
00:27:13Um
00:27:17I'm i'm really sorry. I didn't know it was okay
00:27:27You know, my dad died when I was little too
00:27:34So I know what it's like
00:27:41But it gets easier and it makes you stronger so you're stronger
00:27:52You bet
00:27:53so
00:27:55Snowboarding, huh? I mean it's it's pretty easy. I can teach you
00:27:59You snowboard too? Yeah. Well, I prefer skiing
00:28:03Did your dad have a board? It's in the shed
00:28:06Well, let's go get it
00:28:08We can practice
00:28:10Here in the yard, you got to get to know your board. This is as good of a place as any it is
00:28:18Bring your butt forward and see if you can
00:28:25Okay, you're up lean into your heels
00:28:29That's how you're gonna turn it's gonna slow down. That's how you're gonna stop
00:28:33You're just learning the board understanding how that works. So do that a couple times
00:28:37Rock and hold it
00:28:39That's it. You got to stop. There's a skier right in front of you. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop
00:28:44That's okay. Good job. You got it
00:28:48It's all a part of it good job
00:28:51That's it. You got it
00:28:55And come towards me a little bit
00:28:57There you go, you're a natural man
00:29:02Back forward
00:29:05All right now now see how long you can hold it
00:29:10Now lean forward you got it lean forward a little more
00:29:15One more time one more time bend your knees center of gravity you're gonna turn the board turn it find that edge
00:29:20So

00:29:41I'll be right there Mo. Thanks. Mr. Carter
00:29:44All right, so not a lot of cutouts shouldn't be too tricky
00:29:47And, as I'm sure you know, you want to install drywall from the top down.
00:29:52Right. Top down the usual way.
00:29:56Carter.
00:29:58Top down. I got it. Thank you.
00:30:01Would you like me to help you with this?
00:30:04What? No! I know how to build a wall, Mo. I did my internet research.
00:30:12Okay.
00:30:15And have you thought about installing doors?
00:30:19Oh, yeah. I should do that.
00:30:25Okay, young buck. Good luck.
00:30:36I can do this.
00:30:41That's not right.
00:31:11I can't do this.
00:31:27Okay.
00:31:44Knock, knock.

00:31:59How was your day?
00:32:01Any offers on any good houses or vineyards?
00:32:05No, no. It was just showings back to back.
00:32:11All day.
00:32:16I'm going to put on a shirt.
00:32:23What happened to your finger?
00:32:25Oh, this is nothing. It comes with the job.
00:32:35You know, we could move some boxes to the garage to give you some more space in here.
00:32:43Cool. Yeah.
00:32:45Watch your step.
00:32:49Oh, here. It's fine.
00:32:56What's all this?
00:32:59Oh, this was my husband's.
00:33:06Listen, Santi told me that he passed away, and I'm really sorry.
00:33:12Thanks.
00:33:15The guest house was supposed to house all of his wine memorabilia, but I could really use a rental income now.
00:33:28Do you know how old this thing is?
00:33:30Only he would know.
00:33:32But his main interest...
00:33:38Whoa, what are those?
00:33:40Are you familiar with our local Gargis wine culture?
00:33:45I know a little something about it.
00:33:47Chris loved it. He collected and tried all the wines.
00:33:53He truly believed good wine could come out of this valley.
00:33:57All the grapes go to Baldwin Wines for their cheap stuff.
00:34:01I don't know if any of these are good. I'm just a casual drinker.
00:34:07Chris was a dreamer.
00:34:11Were the grapes from these wines locally sourced?
00:34:14All from Huckabee Vineyard.
00:34:17Oh, that makes sense. Seemed like there were a lot of interested buyers.
00:34:22Yeah, I thought Baldwin Wines was going to be very interested, but we haven't heard from them.
00:34:30Hey, Val!
00:34:32Oh, who is this?
00:34:35Cindy, this is Carter. Carter, this is my friend Cindy.
00:34:39Oh, you did not tell me you were dating.
00:34:42No, no, we're not dating.
00:34:44That's a shame.
00:34:45Stunning couple.
00:34:47Carter is helping me fix the guest house.
00:34:50Is he now? Hot handyman in the guest house? I've seen that movie.
00:34:55Cindy, yes.
00:34:56He can hear you. I'm sorry.
00:34:58We have planned a little girl's night for tonight.
00:35:02Well, I'm going to let you guys get to it.
00:35:04Okay.
00:35:05I'm feeling a little objectified right now.
00:35:11Bye, Carter!
00:35:13Lock that down.
00:35:14Listen, I brought a bottle of wine from my neighbor Maria. It's her entry for the wine festival.
00:35:18And we can share it while you tell me why his shirt was on Inside Out.
00:35:22Okay.
00:35:25We decorated our house.
00:35:32I should have gotten two bottles.
00:35:34I'm such a rookie mistake.
00:35:37I can go to the garage.
00:35:39Or I have a bargain-barreled ball, Randy.
00:35:43Ew, gross! Sleeping with the enemy?
00:35:46It's so cheap.
00:35:47I know.
00:35:51I wonder if Carter has any wine.
00:35:55He could come over. We could share it.
00:35:57No.
00:35:58Why not? He's so hot.
00:36:00He's probably busy working.
00:36:02Uh-huh. Is that it?
00:36:04Or are you worried that Larry, your banker friend, might get jealous?
00:36:08Oh, stop!
00:36:09What? Come on! You have all these hot guys throwing themselves at you.
00:36:12I think it is time you catch one.
00:36:15No. I can't even imagine what the kids would think if they see me.
00:36:21What? Happy? Dancing again?
00:36:25Girl, I have not seen you shake them Espinosa hips in forever.
00:36:29Yeah, I haven't been feeling like dancing much lately.
00:36:31Oh, honey. We may never get bliss, but every once in a while, a kiss can do wonders.
00:36:41No. The boys have been through enough.
00:36:44So what? Valentina Espinosa's just done taking chances?
00:36:49I'm not fun like you.
00:36:51Oh, girl. You'll learn to do anything in life, even how to loosen up.
00:36:55You know, I did not always put the sin in Cindy.
00:37:02I was so focused on getting through nursing school as fast as I could, I didn't even party in college.
00:37:07Like, ever.
00:37:09But, I don't know, being a nurse, I just, I see so many lives at the end, you know?
00:37:22And I just realized I wasn't living mine.
00:37:27So if you don't go knock on Carter's door, maybe I will.
00:37:31Hey, goodbye call.
00:37:39I just, I just don't know if I'm ready.
00:37:52It's only been a couple of years.
00:37:59You know, when Chris was coming in to get his chemo treatments,
00:38:06all he did was talk about you and the boys.
00:38:11He just wanted you to be happy, Valentina.
00:38:23I really thought we had more time.
00:38:26No, I'm sorry.
00:38:29Time sucks.
00:38:32Yep.
00:38:35It does.
00:38:38That is why you have to steal from it every day you can.
00:38:57Oh.
00:39:26Take it easy.
00:39:31Oh, he's alive.
00:39:34You know, I was sure you were gonna electrocute yourself.
00:39:37Wait, what? I can die doing this?
00:39:40What's up? You, uh, you need more tools?
00:39:42Actually, I need more drywall.
00:39:45Huh.
00:39:46Need to redo some of it.
00:39:48Okay. We can definitely get you resupplied.
00:39:51And I need some doors.
00:39:54Is there any chance that you took measurements?
00:39:56I did. I did.
00:39:58I saw a video that you need to do that so you know that they, um, that they fit.
00:40:03Hmm.
00:40:09Also, I could use some help if you have the time.
00:40:16You have time to taste more wine?
00:40:22Okay, now that last one might have had some bad breath.
00:40:24You think?
00:40:26Okay, it did have a little barnyard in it, but try this one.
00:40:42Oh.
00:40:46I really ought to get you a bucket for that.
00:40:47It's not quite there yet.
00:40:49Okay, okay, details. I need details.
00:40:58Okay, no horse crap.
00:41:01Good fruit, super grippy.
00:41:04Some austere tannins, though.
00:41:06But that's okay. It's a whole cluster.
00:41:08Those tannins will soften, trust me.
00:41:12Look, no offense, Mo, but Los Angeles grapes aren't exactly known for tasting good.
00:41:16That is nonsense. Okay?
00:41:18They're not bad rap because of bargain barrel Baldwin.
00:41:21They're garbage winemakers who took good soil and good fruit and homogenized it into bland, overly sweet wine.
00:41:28Can't argue with that.
00:41:30It's all in the process. In vino veritas, my man.
00:41:34I don't think that's what that means.
00:41:36Oh, let's try this one.
00:41:38I have to find my best blend for the festivals.
00:41:41All right, um, one more, but then we gotta go back to making a wall.
00:41:47Okay.
00:41:50Oh, that's gonna be good.
00:42:00No, no, no, no. Slide that to the left.
00:42:02We'll cut out another piece for the edge.
00:42:04But what about the outlet?
00:42:06Well, if you put it there, you'll mess up railroading your butt joints.
00:42:10I haven't been warned about that since Mr. Hoffman's sex ed class.
00:42:13Sounds like a wise man.
00:42:16Let me take some measurements.
00:42:24So do you get all your grapes from the Huckabee estates?
00:42:27Yeah, everyone around here does.
00:42:30And you just make the wine in your garage?
00:42:34No, I experiment in my garage.
00:42:37But when I get serious, I use the facilities down at the Huckabee Vineyard.
00:42:40We all do.
00:42:41So what's everyone gonna do when someone buys the vineyard?
00:42:45Val has a plan.
00:42:47Oh.
00:42:48She found a friendly buyer.
00:42:50Something like that. A collective.
00:42:58Oh, my three o'clock's here.
00:43:01Well, that's my cue.
00:43:03You put the doors in.
00:43:04We sure did. I'll be right there, Santi.
00:43:07Thank you again for helping me today.
00:43:10One who brings happiness to others finds it.
00:43:14Is that Play-Doh?
00:43:16I read it on the teabag.
00:43:20Toe. Put your weight in your toes.
00:43:23And then heel.
00:43:24So eventually when you turn, you're gonna be weight in the toes, weight in the heel,
00:43:27and that's gonna start to turn the snowboard in the snow.
00:43:39I thought Val already had a handyman.
00:43:42Oh, yeah. She does.
00:43:44Yeah. I met him.
00:43:46Got more of a pool boy vibe.
00:43:49You may be on to something, but you didn't hear it from me.
00:43:52I can tell you're the real thing.
00:43:59Two, three. One, two, there you go.
00:44:03Good job.
00:44:04Oh, that's it.
00:44:07Hey, guys.
00:44:08Hi, Cindy.
00:44:09Hey.
00:44:13Hey, Val.
00:44:22What are you looking at?
00:44:24Santi.
00:44:26It's kind of nice for him to have a man around the house.
00:44:29What's up?
00:44:30Uh-huh.
00:44:32Okay, for me too.
00:44:33Oh, there it is.
00:44:35I just met a handyman in the driveway.
00:44:38That's Mo.
00:44:39He's helping Carter out.
00:44:41Oh.
00:44:42I could use a little handiwork from Mo.
00:44:44Cindy.
00:44:45Just saying.
00:44:46Mo, Mo, less problems.
00:44:48Don't say that.
00:44:49I instantly regret it.
00:44:51Nice work, man.
00:44:52Give me some.
00:44:56You're really getting the hang of this.
00:45:01Just gotta get you in some snow.
00:45:03How are we gonna do that?
00:45:06I don't know, but I'll figure it out.
00:45:12Thanks, Mr. Carter.
00:45:33Hey, Mo.
00:45:36No, I am not calling from inside of the wall.
00:45:39Look, I got a wild idea.
00:45:42What are you doing tomorrow?
00:46:06Sorry.
00:46:13I thought we could finish clearing things out.
00:46:18Uh, sure.
00:46:24Should I go like this?
00:46:26Leave it up to you.
00:46:29Give me two minutes.
00:46:35I really think we should get some window treatments in this guest house.
00:46:48I'm starting to run out of space in here.
00:46:53Why don't you just get rid of these wines?
00:46:55It's not like any of them are gonna be the next Chateau Cheval Blanc.
00:47:02Is that snootiness?
00:47:05Are you a wine snob?
00:47:07Me?
00:47:08No.
00:47:10No.
00:47:13A little.
00:47:15Okay, a lot.
00:47:17So because they're made in a garage, they can't be good?
00:47:21If they're made in a garage, the chances are slim.
00:47:26We're gonna try one.
00:47:28Are you sure?
00:47:30They are your husband's wines after all.
00:47:33But he collected them so they could be enjoyed.
00:47:37We will enjoy it.
00:47:42Poor decisions.
00:47:44It's a fitting name.
00:47:45Let's try it.
00:47:48Glasses.
00:47:57Alright, here goes.
00:48:04Tastes like wine.
00:48:08Okay, let's take a step back.
00:48:11See, I was taught to see.
00:48:17And then you're gonna swirl it.
00:48:21Just to open the aroma.
00:48:24Sniff.
00:48:32And sip.
00:48:34Let it fall across your palate.
00:48:37And you savor the finish.
00:48:47That actually doesn't suck.
00:48:51Okay, you try.
00:48:56Let's see.
00:49:01Swirl.
00:49:11Oh.
00:49:17Well?
00:49:18Still tastes like wine.
00:49:21Okay, but what else do you taste?
00:49:25Cherry?
00:49:31Lavender?
00:49:32Good.
00:49:35Peanut butter crackers?
00:49:37Wait, what?
00:49:38Oh, that's from my kid's lunch.
00:49:41Okay, no, no.
00:49:42I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it.
00:49:49These grapes were picked on a humid Saturday by a 73-year-old Frenchman with a slight limp who enjoys anchovies on his pizza.
00:50:03A fact that he hides from his wife because she thinks they're bad for his digestion.
00:50:11Wow.
00:50:13You have a very specific nose.
00:50:15No, you have a very specific nose.
00:50:21Sorry.
00:50:23I had a glass with tindy and now I'm feeling your face.
00:50:27No, no, I appreciate your honest appraisal.
00:50:34You see, wine doesn't have to be fancy to be good.
00:50:38Okay, well, if they're so good, then why aren't they available at, let's say, Whole Foods?
00:50:43Because it's not that easy to get a wine label into stores.
00:50:46Especially when our grapes get such bad rep.
00:50:50Is it because of bargain barrel Baldwin?
00:50:52Yes.
00:50:55Which sometimes I drink.
00:50:57What? Why?
00:51:00Because sometimes it just hits the spot.
00:51:03Like mac and cheese.
00:51:07Wine was never meant to be a class divider.
00:51:10Dionysus meant for it to bring people together, to enjoy and celebrate and share and bond.
00:51:18You like what you like, the rest is just posturing.
00:51:24You may be right.
00:51:26Let's try another one.
00:51:34What do you think?
00:51:39Another good one.
00:51:43So, what did you learn tonight, Mr. Carter?
00:51:46I have learned that maybe there's actually some good grapes in Los Santos.
00:51:54Huckabee Estates, every one of them.
00:52:02What's up with the sale?
00:52:05Mo said something about a collective.
00:52:08Well, no single local winemaker can afford to buy the property.
00:52:14So, I am getting them to all pool together.
00:52:21I see.
00:52:22We have just enough to meet the bank's market value.
00:52:26I hope that'll do it.
00:52:29Yeah, me too.
00:52:33So, what else have you learned tonight?
00:52:40I have learned that sometimes you need to take chances.
00:52:49I think I learned that tonight, too.
00:53:05Okey-dokey, I think I should go now.
00:53:09Are you sure?
00:53:10No.
00:53:11Yes, I should go check on the boys and crash.
00:53:16Okay, yeah, understood.
00:53:19I'll clean up here.
00:53:21Thanks.
00:53:22And thank you for the wine tasting tips.
00:53:25Yeah.
00:53:26Oh, and I like your nose, too.
00:53:46Bottled at Mo's garage?
00:53:55You sneaky devil, you do have talent.
00:53:582016.
00:54:00That's your vintage.
00:54:13What do you have here?
00:54:18Huckabee and Baldwin.
00:54:201977.
00:54:26Well, I haven't heard from you in quite a while.
00:54:55Have you fled to Cabo?
00:54:57No.
00:54:58I'm doing what you asked me to do.
00:55:00And?
00:55:01Did you know that Grandpa George and Hollis Huckabee used to be business partners?
00:55:06That's not what I sent you to find out.
00:55:08But Grandpa George believed in what could be created here.
00:55:12Right.
00:55:13Well, that's ancient history.
00:55:14Those two had absolutely no business sense.
00:55:16They were dreamers.
00:55:18What's so wrong with being a dreamer?
00:55:20Because eventually you have to wake up and face reality.
00:55:23And what did you find out?
00:55:25Well, I found a whole community of people who really resent Baldwin Wines.
00:55:32They're all pooling together to try to keep the vineyard.
00:55:38Well, that's so sad.
00:55:40It's almost funny.
00:55:41That's not sad, Mom.
00:55:42It's sweet.
00:55:43Carter, don't go soft on me.
00:55:45This is going to be great for the company.
00:55:47Now, did you find out what they're bidding?
00:55:50I don't think that...
00:55:52I don't think that we should be doing this.
00:55:54It's not a fair fight.
00:55:56Life isn't fair, Carter.
00:55:58Now, I sent you there to do a job.
00:56:00Did you do it or did you not?
00:56:09They have just enough to match the bank's appraisal.
00:56:13Well, there you go.
00:56:15That wasn't so hard, was it?
00:56:17What?
00:56:18Oh, my God.
00:56:19The board members are going to be so excited about this purchase.
00:56:22Actually, I think I'm going to announce it at the Christmas party.
00:56:25Now, get back here.
00:56:26I need your help.
00:56:27She's in the order.
00:56:28I can't leave yet.
00:56:30Oh, my God.
00:56:31Why the hell not?
00:56:33Because I have another job and I'm not going to leave until I see it through.
00:56:37Goodbye.
00:56:48Goodbye.
00:56:59Morning, sunshine.
00:57:01Oh, perfect. Val just left.
00:57:03Is she not aware of our...
00:57:05I'm taking a chance.
00:57:08It's better to beg for forgiveness than ask permission.
00:57:14Write it on a bumper sticker.
00:57:17Let's get to it.
00:57:47I can't tell.
00:57:48Y'all can't tell.
00:57:50But nothing I would regret.
00:57:53Keep my head down in the wind.
00:57:57I cross home the best I can.
00:58:01I'm just a hard, hard, hardworking man.
00:58:07Hardworking man.
00:58:11Hardworking man.
00:58:14I do the best I can.
00:58:18Martin, you're going to get it.
00:58:19You just need more practice.
00:58:20Watch me.
00:58:23Ben, look.
00:58:35Dante.
00:58:37Stand up.
00:58:39Oh, pardon.
00:58:41You never know who I'll choose.
00:58:49Cindy.
00:58:52What is that?
00:58:53Hardworking man.
00:58:54Hardworking man.
00:58:56Hardworking man.
00:58:58Hardworking man.
00:59:00Hardworking.
00:59:07Oh, that's great, Larry.
00:59:10Hold on.
00:59:11I'm getting out of the car.
00:59:13Okay.
00:59:16So, how much are they investing?
00:59:19They were able to come up with another $50,000.
00:59:22So, what's our total now?
00:59:24Just over half the price.
00:59:26I know what they're saying.
00:59:27It's looking good, Val.
00:59:30Larry, I'll call you right back.
00:59:32Hey, Val.
00:59:36What is that?
00:59:37It's awesome.
00:59:38I built us a snowboard ramp to practice on.
00:59:40It's both crazy and awesome.
00:59:42What do you think?
00:59:43I was just about to test it out.
00:59:45Look, you won't be able to dig an edge in,
00:59:47but it should be good practice until we hit the powder.
00:59:51Cowabunga, dudes.
00:59:58Oh, God.
00:59:59Well, at least the ramp held.
01:00:02Please tell me someone got a video of that.
01:00:04Are you okay?
01:00:05Oh, yeah, I'm fine.
01:00:07Who's next?
01:00:08Oh, no, no, no.
01:00:09My boys, no hospital visits today.
01:00:11Please, come on, Mom.
01:00:12Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
01:00:14You know, I think I may have a solution.
01:00:30Yes!
01:00:38Whoa!
01:00:41Ooh.
01:00:42Baby, are you all right?
01:00:44I'm okay.
01:00:47Don't forget your goggles.
01:00:49You got this, Danty.
01:00:52Uh-huh.
01:00:57Woo-hoo!
01:00:58So good!
01:00:59You did it!
01:01:03Woo-hoo!
01:01:04Oh, smooth.
01:01:05Watch.
01:01:06Watch it.
01:01:07Be careful.
01:01:08Whoa!
01:01:11Maybe take a break.
01:01:16Woo!
01:01:18Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:01:19Good job.
01:01:20Okay.
01:01:21Yes.
01:01:23He looks so confident.
01:01:25I know.
01:01:26He's loving it.
01:01:30So, are you still leaving tomorrow?
01:01:34Well, I'm just about done here, so...
01:01:38Yeah.
01:01:40Look at them.
01:01:41Those two youngsters make it so hard.
01:01:43Look, I've learned that when you know what you want,
01:01:45you just gotta go after it.
01:01:47Yeah.
01:01:48Me too.
01:01:51Give me your phone.
01:01:54Okay.
01:01:55Here I go.
01:01:59Good job, baby.
01:02:00Good job, baby.
01:02:04It's my phone number.
01:02:05Dare you to call it?
01:02:12I think your phone's ringing.
01:02:17Mo and Cindy seem to be hitting it off.
01:02:20They're going to get drinks.
01:02:23You...
01:02:25You wouldn't want to...
01:02:26Mom, we're ready.
01:02:28Fenella's gonna finish all the popcorn.
01:02:30I'll be right there.
01:02:34Movie night.
01:02:35Right.
01:02:36They worked hard today.
01:02:37They, uh...
01:02:38They deserve it.
01:02:39Carter.
01:02:40You wanna watch him alone with us?
01:02:44I...
01:02:45I guess.
01:02:46Yeah.
01:02:47No!
01:02:48Why would you ask him that?
01:02:49This is our thing.
01:02:54You know, I should probably go.
01:02:55Sorry.
01:02:56No, it's all good.
01:03:09Hey.
01:03:16Does that mean you don't want to talk?
01:03:23But I thought you liked Carter.
01:03:26You guys had a fun day today.
01:03:29I do like him, but...
01:03:32He's not our dad.
01:03:34Oh.
01:03:35Baby, of course he's not.
01:03:38No one will ever replace your dad.
01:03:41No one ever could.
01:03:44He's just a friend of ours, that's all.
01:03:46Movie night is only for family.
01:03:49Okay.
01:03:50Then it's just gonna be the three of us.
01:03:53I don't wanna share you.
01:04:03Come here.
01:04:12Listen to me.
01:04:14I miss your dad every day.
01:04:17But I'm so lucky I get to see his face
01:04:21every time I look at these two handsome faces.
01:04:34There's something I want you boys to know.
01:04:39When Fernando was born,
01:04:41your dad and I didn't think there was any way
01:04:45we could love anything as much as we loved him.
01:04:50Our hearts were so full.
01:04:53And then I got pregnant with Santi.
01:04:58And we were like,
01:05:00what are we gonna do?
01:05:01Do we have to split our love into two parts?
01:05:06And you were pregnant.
01:05:08And you were born.
01:05:10And it was
01:05:13magic.
01:05:15No, we didn't have to split our love into two parts.
01:05:19Our hearts doubled.
01:05:24And that is what you two boys taught me and your dad.
01:05:29What?
01:05:39That there's no limit to love.
01:05:44If you let it grow,
01:05:47your heart gets bigger.
01:05:52So don't think that because us,
01:05:56the three of us,
01:05:58love each other,
01:06:00that by letting someone new into our life,
01:06:04we're gonna love each other back.
01:06:08We're not gonna love each other or your dad any less.
01:06:12That's not how it works.
01:06:15¿Entendido?
01:06:17¿Entendido?
01:06:19Yeah.
01:06:20I love you two until the cows come home.
01:06:25Until the chickens fly north for winter.
01:06:39Wow.
01:06:41You spent all these years making this incredible wine.
01:06:46And this is your label?
01:06:50Boy, you are lucky I came along.
01:06:53Cheers to that.
01:07:09You actually finished something you started.
01:07:22Val?
01:07:25Val?
01:07:29Santi? Fernando?
01:07:33Anybody home?
01:07:38No.
01:08:09Val, I hope you like my wall.
01:08:13Carter.
01:08:22Hey, Mo.
01:08:23Hey. I'll see you at the wine festival today, right?
01:08:27No, no. I have, um...
01:08:30I got something I have to do.
01:08:31Yeah, sure.
01:08:32I'll see you at the wine festival.
01:08:33Yeah, sure.
01:08:34I'll see you at the wine festival.
01:08:35I have, um...
01:08:37I got something I have to do.
01:08:38No, no, no. You're coming.
01:08:40Listen. I'm putting out my Poor Decisions 2016.
01:08:43You said you love that one, right?
01:08:45Yeah. Yeah, I do.
01:08:47It's very important that you come experience what the other winemakers in this valley are creating.
01:08:51So, be at my booth.
01:08:532 p.m. It's right by the entrance.
01:08:55And don't be late.
01:09:06Hi.
01:09:07Hi.
01:09:08I'll take two, please.
01:09:21It's our best seller.
01:09:22You want to try it?
01:09:26Here, you take a sip.
01:09:28You see?
01:09:36Thank you.
01:09:43Wow.
01:09:45That is a very interesting sauvignon.
01:09:47She uses a steel drum to ferment, but she adds her own special twist.
01:09:52Well, she nailed it.
01:09:54Thank you.
01:09:56I learned it from my grandma.
01:09:57Maybe I will teach Brynn someday.
01:10:00Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
01:10:05Hey, young boy. Right on time.
01:10:07On time for what?
01:10:09Just for the time that we said we'd meet.
01:10:15Hey, guys.
01:10:17Valentina. Hi.
01:10:19Hi.
01:10:20Are you checking out the festival?
01:10:22Yeah.
01:10:23Well, actually, I'm here to meet Mo.
01:10:25Oh, cool.
01:10:26I'm meeting Cindy.
01:10:29What time?
01:10:31Two.
01:10:33You're right on time.
01:10:35For what?
01:10:37A set-up.
01:10:40Yeah.
01:10:41Look at that.
01:10:44Oh, we might have some answers here.
01:10:51This is a fun napping.
01:10:53Do not attempt to contact authorities.
01:10:55Do not attempt to trace this call.
01:10:57Their video. Whatever.
01:10:59My demands are simple.
01:11:01Have fun today.
01:11:02And do not worry about these rubber rats for one second.
01:11:06I will send proof of life every hour.
01:11:08But if my demands are not met...
01:11:14I will feed these children so much sugar,
01:11:17their heads will pop off.
01:11:20Your head is supposed to be turned behind your back.
01:11:22I already did that part.
01:11:23But it's still recording.
01:11:24Going off script here, guys.
01:11:26Oh, no.
01:11:28You know, I've seen this kind of thing before.
01:11:31This one looks like a professional fun napper.
01:11:34I don't think we have a choice but to have a lot of fun.
01:11:40Okay.
01:11:43Let me send a message first.
01:11:50I am a mother with a very particular set of skills.
01:11:55If too much sugar enters those boys' bodies,
01:11:58I will find you.
01:12:00And I will make you pay.
01:12:03For brunch.
01:12:08Come on. I've got a wine you need to try.
01:12:15Works every time.
01:12:16Carter, this is Joe.
01:12:18It's nice to meet you.
01:12:19Joe was always one of Chris' favorite characters.
01:12:23Well, then I'm already impressed.
01:12:25Thank you.
01:12:26I use a very simplistic approach.
01:12:28I don't filter, fine, or cold stabilize my wines at all.
01:12:32Wow.
01:12:34Well, I'd love to try some.
01:12:35Oh, we're going to try a whole bottle.
01:12:39And a cheese plate, please.
01:12:42Enjoy.
01:12:43Thank you.
01:12:57I see all these people enjoying what they do
01:13:00and talking about it with so much passion.
01:13:05That's not me.
01:13:08What are you passionate about?
01:13:10Honestly?
01:13:12I don't know.
01:13:14My mom kind of planned my whole life for me.
01:13:18Even down to who I should marry.
01:13:20Oh.
01:13:22How's that going?
01:13:26I owe the poor girl an apology.
01:13:32How about your father?
01:13:36He passed away when I was young.
01:13:40I'm sorry.
01:13:43Yeah, my mom passed away when I was young.
01:13:46I'm sorry.
01:13:49Yeah, my mom, she kind of got overbearing after that.
01:13:54She probably just thought she was protecting me.
01:13:58I just refused to be who she wanted.
01:14:03So I rebelled.
01:14:07Into the wild world of carpentry.
01:14:11Yeah, something like that.
01:14:14She says that I'm a poet who can't rhyme.
01:14:22And I say she's a nut that won't crack.
01:14:25She's unbreakable.
01:14:27Oh.
01:14:28I bet she's not that bad.
01:14:30Oh, if only you knew who my mother was.
01:14:32You might think the same thing.
01:14:34I'm sure most children say that about their mothers.
01:14:38I can only imagine what my kids will say about me one day.
01:14:42You're a great mom.
01:14:43How would you know that?
01:14:45They've only known me for a few days.
01:14:47Yeah, but I know your kids.
01:14:49And your kids are awesome.
01:14:51They have a sense of who they are in this world.
01:14:54And they're not born with that.
01:14:57You instilled that in them.
01:15:08Yeah.
01:15:11They're pretty great.
01:15:15So are you.
01:15:34Okay, I think we need more wine.
01:15:39You know what?
01:15:40I think I know a guy.
01:15:43I'll be right back.
01:15:54I don't know why you're not picking up.
01:15:56You're the one who loves phone technology so much.
01:15:58This is Margo. Leave a message.
01:16:00Hey, just listen to me, okay?
01:16:02You can't...
01:16:03You can't...
01:16:05And lastly, I don't want anyone to get too excited.
01:16:08But I may have something in the works that's going to allow us to expand next year.
01:16:13Is that why we haven't seen Carter?
01:16:19I'll tell you more tomorrow.
01:16:20Thanks for coming.
01:16:22Bye now.
01:16:24Bye, Margo.
01:16:25Bye.
01:16:27Night.
01:16:31Hey, just listen to me, okay?
01:16:33You can't outbid the collective.
01:16:35There is a whole wine culture here that relies on the Huckabee Estates.
01:16:38And they make some pretty good wine.
01:16:40They deserve to own the vineyard.
01:16:43You know, you have never listened to my opinion, but you have to listen to me now.
01:16:47Call me back so I know you got this.
01:16:49Please.
01:16:56Bye.
01:17:14Want to dance?
01:17:17No, I'm good.
01:17:19Why not?
01:17:22You scared?
01:17:24What are you doing?
01:17:26About to dance.
01:17:28Alone.
01:17:32Showing you my moves.
01:17:40There we go.
01:17:49Okay, okay, okay.
01:17:51Stop, stop, stop.
01:17:53I'll teach you.
01:17:55Okay.
01:17:56You go first to one side, right?
01:17:58And then you come back.
01:18:00And then one.
01:18:01And then you come back.
01:18:02Okay.
01:18:04Up.
01:18:05Okay.
01:18:06There you go.
01:18:07Can I try something?
01:18:08Yeah.
01:18:21All right.
01:18:22There you go.
01:18:23Oh, how did people like the poor decision?
01:18:25Val, Val.
01:18:27Did you talk to Larry?
01:18:28Larry?
01:18:29Yes.
01:18:30He's been trying to reach you.
01:18:31About the bid?
01:18:32He said he's on his way over.
01:18:33Oh, my phone was on silence.
01:18:34Val, Val.
01:18:36I've been calling you.
01:18:37Larry, what is it?
01:18:38We got another bid on the Huckabee Estate.
01:18:40You were outbid by exactly 100 grand.
01:18:43What?
01:18:45Who's the bidder?
01:18:47Baldwin Wines.
01:18:48Oh.
01:18:50Of course it is.
01:18:52What time is it?
01:18:53Can we still outbid them?
01:18:54It's too late.
01:18:55They submitted their bid right at the deadline.
01:18:58Oh, this can't be happening.
01:19:01Oh, the planning, the contracts, and the meetings.
01:19:06How am I going to tell everybody that we lost the vineyard?
01:19:11And to Baldwin Wines.
01:19:13Oh, I should have known.
01:19:14They would do something like this.
01:19:18I am so sorry.
01:19:21I'm sorry.
01:19:26How could they possibly know the exact amount to bid?
01:19:30I don't know.
01:19:36It was me.
01:19:40What?
01:19:43It was me.
01:19:46What was you?
01:19:51I was the one who told Baldwin Wines how much your collective was bidding.
01:19:56I'm so sorry, Val.
01:19:58It was before I knew how special your community was.
01:20:02Why? Why would you do that?
01:20:10Because.
01:20:17I'm Carter Baldwin.
01:20:18It's my fam—er, my mother's business.
01:20:21And I called her earlier and I pleaded with her not to submit her bid.
01:20:26A lot of good that did.
01:20:27I thought she would listen to me.
01:20:29If I could go back and change everything, I would do it in a second.
01:20:35So everything was a lie?
01:20:38No. No.
01:20:41Not how I feel about you.
01:20:42Not how I feel about you.
01:20:47Words are from the lips, Carter.
01:20:50Actions are from the heart.
01:20:55Val.
01:20:56Goodbye.
01:21:06Kinda wish the drywall had killed you.
01:21:12Yeah, me too.
01:21:17Okay, hey, you know what?
01:21:19He came clean.
01:21:20That's the important thing.
01:21:22The only way forward?
01:21:23It's true.
01:21:26It was the wine talking.
01:21:28In vino veritas.
01:21:30Oh, is that what that means?
01:21:34I have someone I need to talk to.
01:21:43Yes, son?
01:21:45You need to retract the bid.
01:21:48Enough, Carter.
01:21:50The Baldwin Wines name will be on that vineyard.
01:21:53You brought honor to the family name, honey.
01:21:55Family name?
01:21:56That's a joke.
01:21:57Grandpa George would be sick to find out what's happening to the people of Los Santos.
01:22:02Grandpa George and Hollis Huckabee wanted to make money, too.
01:22:05They just weren't any good at it.
01:22:07A trait they passed on to your father.
01:22:09God rest his soul.
01:22:10And when he died, he left me all alone with a failing company and a young child.
01:22:15I had to step up, and I made the family name what it is today.
01:22:20Well, what good does that do the Garagis in Los Santos?
01:22:24Well, they can get drunk on very cheap wine and forget all their problems.
01:22:33You disappoint me, Mother.
01:22:35You disappoint me, Mother.
01:22:41And you me.
01:22:46This company may have been founded by a dreamer, but it was nothing until someone woke up and faced reality.
01:22:52I did that.
01:22:55And I suggest you do the same.
01:22:57Don't bother coming tomorrow.
01:23:06He moved in.
01:23:08Lived here.
01:23:09Right under my nose.
01:23:11And the whole time he was just gathering information.
01:23:14Who does that?
01:23:15A spy.
01:23:16Like a sexy, sexy wine spy.
01:23:19You know who I blame?
01:23:20Huh?
01:23:21Reality TV shows and those home remodeling shows.
01:23:23Because they make you believe that the world is not what it used to be.
01:23:27And that's why I'm here.
01:23:29I'm here to help you.
01:23:30Reality TV shows and those home remodeling shows.
01:23:33Because they make you believe that the world is filled with sexy carpenters.
01:23:37What does it say about my judge of character that I allowed him around my boys?
01:23:43Babe, they are going to be fine, okay?
01:23:46They knew him for like five days.
01:23:49I need you to be fine.
01:23:51I'm fine.
01:23:52Oh, okay.
01:23:54I just feel alone.
01:23:56Hey.
01:23:57You are not alone.
01:23:59Okay?
01:24:00You are still surrounded by plenty of people who love you.
01:24:06Alright, look.
01:24:07So you took a chance, okay?
01:24:09Put yourself out there and it didn't work out.
01:24:12It sucks.
01:24:14But I'm still really proud of you, Val.
01:24:20Was the kiss good?
01:24:21Really good.
01:24:22Yeah.
01:24:23Yeah, that tracks.
01:24:30Okay.
01:24:37Time to face the music, young buck.
01:24:50Thank you for letting me stay here.
01:24:52I didn't know what else to do.
01:24:55I think it's time I gave you your gift.
01:24:58Honestly, that's not necessary.
01:25:00I think I'm more in the coal territory this year.
01:25:05It's not what you think.
01:25:06It's the gift of consequence.
01:25:08So, head or gut?
01:25:12You lost me.
01:25:15Carter, you lied to Val.
01:25:16And you destroyed the guarantees culture in Los Santos.
01:25:19Now for that, you deserve one shot.
01:25:21So I'm going to let you choose.
01:25:22Your head or your gut.
01:25:25You serious?
01:25:26That's a heart attack.
01:25:28See, normally I'd let it go.
01:25:30But we're friends now.
01:25:32So you won't forget.
01:25:34Now, stop being such a privileged prince.
01:25:44I mean, I guess my gut...
01:25:48Rookie mistake.
01:25:49Gut is worse.
01:25:50Rookie mistake.
01:25:51Gut is worse.
01:25:53Just breathe.
01:25:55That's right, breathe.
01:25:59You're a good friend, Mo.
01:26:05You know, the pain is actually giving me some clarity.
01:26:11No, I have to...
01:26:12I have to...
01:26:13I have to see this through.
01:26:15I mean, this can't be over.
01:26:17I think I like this new attitude already.
01:26:19If my mom is not going to listen to me, then...
01:26:22I need to show her, right in her face, so she can't deny it.
01:26:24How are you going to do that?
01:26:25I'm going to hit her where it hurts.
01:26:27The gut?
01:26:28No, her pride.
01:26:33Thinking of a plan?
01:26:37Should we go grab some breakfast while you work this out?
01:26:39I got it.
01:26:40Good. Good luck.
01:26:42No, it's not a me thing, it's a we thing.
01:26:44I need your help.
01:26:45And Cindy's.
01:26:47I'm going to regret this, aren't I?
01:26:49No.
01:26:50Well, yeah, probably.
01:26:51There's like a 90% chance this goes sideways, but...
01:26:54Here's the plan.
01:26:55First, what we're going to do is...
01:27:08Ho, ho, ho.
01:27:09You're a little early.
01:27:12Jonathan.
01:27:13Jonathan.
01:27:15That's my secret identity.
01:27:19Right.
01:27:22You're good to go.
01:27:23Thank you.
01:27:24Thank you.
01:27:42Finally.
01:27:43I think we are officially married in some states.
01:27:46I don't want to talk about it.
01:27:50All right, just grab what you can, and we'll come back and get dressed, all right?
01:27:52Hey, follow me. We have about an hour before the guests arrive.
01:28:19You okay under all that clutter?
01:28:22Oh, yeah.
01:28:23I'm feeling the Christmas magic.
01:28:26All right, so far, so good.
01:28:29Which table is your mom's?
01:28:32The one with all the finely aged rich people?
01:28:34Those are the board members.
01:28:35Cheers.
01:28:36Merry Christmas.
01:28:37Thank you, Marco.
01:28:38It's so nice to see you.
01:28:39All right, I'm on it.
01:28:46You ready?
01:28:47Yeah.
01:28:48All right.
01:28:49Just...
01:28:53This is lovely, isn't it?
01:28:54It's really gorgeous.
01:28:55It's gorgeous.
01:28:56I know.
01:28:57It's one of my very favorites.
01:28:59Yeah.
01:29:00We have great taste.
01:29:01Very nice.
01:29:03I agree.
01:29:05Canapes?
01:29:06Yes, please.
01:29:07Yes, please.
01:29:08Nothing for me, thank you.
01:29:09Thank you.
01:29:12And how's everyone enjoying the wine?
01:29:14Oh, it's absolutely fabulous.
01:29:17Really?
01:29:18Marco, how do you do it?
01:29:19Well, I have my sommelier find the best new French wine every single year.
01:29:25Well, it's lovely.
01:29:26Oh, I'm so happy you guys are enjoying it.
01:29:33Yeah, thanks.
01:29:50Where's Carter?
01:29:51He never misses a party.
01:29:54Yeah, well, he got hung up on a special assignment that I sent him on.
01:29:59I knew it.
01:30:00What have you been up to?
01:30:02You'll see.
01:30:04Gonna make a little announcement.
01:30:13I still don't understand why you dragged me out here.
01:30:16Mo got tickets for this?
01:30:17It's gonna be great.
01:30:18I promise.
01:30:20Wait.
01:30:21Baldwin Wines.
01:30:23Why would you bring me to the last place on earth I would want to be?
01:30:26Because I'm your friend.
01:30:29And there's something I think you need to see.
01:30:33You are a sexy wine spy.
01:30:42I am so glad you guys are making it.
01:30:44I am so glad you guys are making it.
01:30:46Why are you dressed like a waiter?
01:30:48Get comfy.
01:30:49No matter how this goes, I'm sure you're gonna be entertained.
01:30:55Is everyone a sexy wine spy?
01:31:02You sign up right here.
01:31:03Okay.
01:31:15Oh.
01:31:20Ho, ho, ho.
01:31:24Welcome, everyone, to the Baldwin Wines annual Christmas celebration.
01:31:37Is everyone enjoying themselves?
01:31:44Yeah.
01:31:49Well, for Santa's first surprise...
01:31:54Ta-da!
01:31:59Mom, okay, I know what you're thinking, but everything's gonna be just fine.
01:32:02All right?
01:32:03All right?
01:32:13Just give me two more seconds.
01:32:17She's easier in my mind.
01:32:28Okay.
01:32:29Here we go.
01:32:31As most of you in this room know, I have had some bouts of...
01:32:36immaturity in the past.
01:32:38No, no.
01:32:39It's true. It's true.
01:32:41And I would like to apologize.
01:32:43To the groundskeepers for some minor golf cart incidents.
01:32:46To housekeeping for the messes in my suite.
01:32:50And as God is my witness, I could have sworn that peacocks could swim.
01:32:56Um...
01:32:59But more than anyone, I owe an apology to a lovely woman
01:33:05who unfortunately got the worst of me.
01:33:09Emma.
01:33:11I am so sorry for how I behaved towards you.
01:33:15It was childish and it was cowardly.
01:33:18And you didn't deserve it.
01:33:21And I hope you'll find it in your heart to forgive me.
01:33:32Thank you for that.
01:33:40Okay.
01:33:41Now on to business.
01:33:43I hope everybody is enjoying the crudo, the braised asparagus, and the duck confit.
01:33:48I think it pairs very nicely with the wine selection of the evening.
01:33:51The Chateau L'Ementor.
01:33:54Is everybody digging it?
01:33:59Only...
01:34:01there is no such vineyard.
01:34:03What's he talking about?
01:34:07What you are actually drinking is a bold cabernet
01:34:11from Baldwin Wines' newly acquired vineyard.
01:34:18Oh.
01:34:20That's both wine.
01:34:23A vineyard that my mother, ah, she insisted on buying.
01:34:29And she was right to do so.
01:34:32I was.
01:34:33Marco, you are full of surprises.
01:34:39This year, I was hit with the ghosts of Christmas past and present.
01:34:45My mother sent me to Los Santos, a place where this company got its start.
01:34:50My grandfather, George Baldwin, bought land with his partner, Hollis Huckabee.
01:34:55Their dream was to produce small-batch wines to compete with the big market labels.
01:35:02And while I was there, I got to meet the people and the winemakers of Los Santos.
01:35:07Their passion for wine and their spirit of community
01:35:11embodies everything that my grandfather envisioned.
01:35:17And I fell in love there, too.
01:35:22He's talking about you.
01:35:25He's talking about everyone.
01:35:27Tonight, you have also met them
01:35:30by enjoying a sample of what they have to offer.
01:35:33Bargain Barrel Baldwin doesn't have to be the legacy of Baldwin Wines.
01:35:41Dionysus always said that wine should bring people together.
01:35:46And if sometimes that means drinking Bargain Barrel wines, then so be it.
01:35:50But Baldwin Wines has a chance to embrace the amazing artisan community of Los Santos
01:35:57and carry a line of wines that all of us can actually be proud to drink.
01:36:02A premium, small-batch, Garageiste collection.
01:36:07So what do you say?
01:36:09Does Baldwin Wines Garageiste collection belong on shelves everywhere for everyone to enjoy?
01:36:20Yes!
01:36:33It sounds like we have a winner.
01:36:36I love this idea.
01:36:37We should have done this a long time ago.
01:36:40Merry Christmas, everyone, and thank you so much for coming out tonight.
01:36:55So, what did you think of the speech?
01:36:58A rumbling mess.
01:36:59Pretty sappy.
01:37:00Couldn't mention my name?
01:37:03But we loved it.
01:37:08Excuse me.
01:37:13Can you give me a second?
01:37:18Well, Mother, what do you think?
01:37:21Starting a new division of Baldwin Wines, huh?
01:37:24That's right.
01:37:25Sounds like a lot of work.
01:37:27Who do you suppose is going to do all that work?
01:37:30Well, if you'll let me, I'd love to finish what I started.
01:37:33Well, you know, finishing what you start hasn't always been your strong suit, honey.
01:37:38You're right.
01:37:40But I've realized that I've been so busy running from everything that I haven't taken the time to actually figure out what I want to run towards.
01:37:47And you think this is it?
01:37:48I know it is.
01:37:52I think your dad and your grandpa would be very proud of you.
01:37:57And you?
01:37:59I mean, you've worked so hard.
01:38:01Would this honor your legacy?
01:38:04Sweetie, my legacy isn't bargain barrel Baldwin.
01:38:11It never was.
01:38:14My legacy is you.
01:38:17I'm so proud of you.
01:38:20This feels like a hug moment.
01:38:22Come here.
01:38:24I love you.
01:38:26I love you too.
01:38:29Carter.
01:38:31Go get your girl.
01:38:45You know, it would be a shame for anyone wearing a dress that well.
01:38:50For anyone wearing a dress that well, not to dance in it.
01:38:55Good idea.
01:38:57Who should I ask to dance?
01:39:00Oh, I don't know.
01:39:02Maybe someone trying to work their way off the naughty list.
01:39:08Well, it is Christmas.
01:39:20So I can dance all night with you.
01:39:28Oh, Carter.
01:39:30A little naughty is nice.
01:39:34Let's let the wine do the talking.
01:39:41Come on, Fernando. You've got this.
01:39:43It's just like the backyard.
01:39:45Okay, here goes.
01:39:47There you go.
01:39:51Look at me!
01:39:57You need to lower your stance, dude.
01:40:00Hey, wait up!
01:40:02You did a good job with this, too.
01:40:05You did good work with me.
01:40:07Nah, calmate. You're a work in progress.
01:40:21Woo!
01:40:23Guys, let's make this ice cream cone together.
01:40:27First, I'm going to make this Vique cake.
01:40:50Okay.
01:41:20Okay.
01:41:39Now, I'm going to make the eyes.
01:41:50Okay.
01:42:16Now, I'm going to make the lips.
01:42:20Okay.
01:42:50Let's do that guy.
01:43:20Okay.
01:43:22Okay.
01:43:48Now, I'm going to make the nose.
01:43:51And the mouth.
01:44:13Okay, I'm done.
01:44:15See you in the next video.
01:44:21Bye.
01:44:51Bye.
01:45:21Bye.
01:45:51Bye.
