00:00:00Perfect.
00:00:05Thanks, Irsa.
00:00:07Oh, jeez.
00:00:16Oh, jeez, lady.
00:00:21Oh, my God.
00:00:22Oh, my God.
00:00:23Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:00:25Let me help.
00:00:26No, that's all right.
00:00:27I'll just take that.
00:00:28Can I help you?
00:00:29I'm sorry, no.
00:00:30Yeah.
00:00:31Morning.
00:00:32So, you've given up eating your breakfast and now you're just wearing it?
00:00:39Is Diane here yet?
00:00:40Yep.
00:00:41Perfect.
00:00:42Guess my beat the boss to the office streak has come to an end.
00:00:44Well, you know what she says.
00:00:45If you're early, you're on time.
00:00:47If you're on time, you're late.
00:00:49And if you're late, you're fired.
00:00:52Cutting it a little close, Meg.
00:00:54Sorry, Diane.
00:00:55There was this delivery guy and the elevator...
00:00:57I don't want to hear it.
00:00:58Conference call starts in eight minutes.
00:01:00Barely enough time to change.
00:01:03I'll change in three.
00:01:15Excuse me.
00:01:37Oh, yes.
00:01:56Morning, Diane.
00:01:57Right on time.
00:01:59Barely had a chance to grab a cup of coffee.
00:02:01Mr. Howard, so good to see you again.
00:02:03You remember my assistant, Jamie?
00:02:05Good morning, Mr. Howard.
00:02:06And our newest event planner, Meg.
00:02:08Hi, good morning, Meg.
00:02:09Pleased to meet you.
00:02:10Good morning, Mr. Howard.
00:02:11Call me Brian, please.
00:02:14I want to personally thank you, Brian, for once again choosing Opus Executive Events for your team building retreat this year.
00:02:20That's three years running.
00:02:22I took note of your requests and I think our team here has really come up with something very different this year.
00:02:28Yeah.
00:02:29Hey, Diane, listen.
00:02:30I really want to shake up this batch of students.
00:02:34You know, challenge these people.
00:02:35Make real lawyers out of them.
00:02:37Welcome to Fourth Star Ranch Retreat.
00:02:41Recognize it?
00:02:42Kind of.
00:02:43It's the former set they shot Kevin Costner's Virginia Bound at.
00:02:47That western from like 15 years ago?
00:02:49Yes.
00:02:50A former Hollywood set for westerns of the golden age.
00:02:54And I have been assured that every authentic Tinseltown touch has been preserved.
00:02:59You and your team will spend three days and nights at this picturesque mountain getaway.
00:03:04Your retreat's theme, mountains, magic, and memories.
00:03:10From crisp mornings to cozy evenings around the fireplace, every detail is taken care of.
00:03:16Hold the phone, Diane.
00:03:19I'm not taking them on a honeymoon.
00:03:21This is team building.
00:03:23They want to be lawyers.
00:03:24I want them to be warriors.
00:03:25Now tell me we're going to get our hands a little dirty here.
00:03:28Indeed.
00:03:29We have several outdoor activities planned, including nature walks by day and cozy gatherings around the outdoor natural gas fireplace by night.
00:03:38You might even get your toes a little wet at the nearby river.
00:03:41Is that a unicorn?
00:03:43We have several little surprises planned for you and your team, including complimentary hiking socks.
00:03:50The raw elements!
00:03:52Diane, real survivalist stuff.
00:03:54Diane, listen, I want fresh.
00:03:56I want new.
00:03:57Right.
00:03:58Of course.
00:04:00It's all been taken care of, I assure you.
00:04:02Wait.
00:04:03Was that a picture of axe throwing?
00:04:05Oh, it might have been.
00:04:08We've had several team members propose a number of activities.
00:04:11Whose idea was that?
00:04:12Oh, we can get rid of it.
00:04:13I, for one, didn't think it was...
00:04:14It was my idea, sir.
00:04:16Really?
00:04:17So why'd you put that in there?
00:04:19Well, I...
00:04:21I figured you're out in the mountains, and that's something people do there.
00:04:25I mean, chopping logs.
00:04:27Oh.
00:04:28And what else do people do, Meg?
00:04:30Well, I did research a few things.
00:04:34The giant ladder, for instance.
00:04:36They're relatively easy to build.
00:04:38Require teams of two.
00:04:39The higher you get, the harder it gets.
00:04:42A slackline obstacle course.
00:04:44That could work for any terrain.
00:04:46Geocaching looks like fun.
00:04:47Kind of like a high-tech scavenger hunt with everyone scrambling in all directions.
00:04:51None of these have been approved or put in the itinerary.
00:04:54I just approved them.
00:04:57Oh.
00:04:58Well...
00:04:59Diane, I want these people tangling from trees.
00:05:02Of course, Brian.
00:05:04We can make some modifications.
00:05:06I can go over everything with you when we arrive at the ranch.
00:05:09And I want Meg there to lead us through it all.
00:05:13Certainly.
00:05:15I mean, she would...
00:05:16Yeah, Meg, I'm really excited about this, so I know you're just gonna knock it out of the park.
00:05:21Um, yes, Mr. Howard.
00:05:23It's sure to be an unforgettable executive events experience.
00:05:27Well, I will have Jamie send the directions and details to you shortly.
00:05:30Thanks again, Mr. Howard, for choosing Opus Executive Events.
00:05:34Tangling from trees, Meg!
00:05:36Talk soon.
00:05:41Well.
00:05:43It looks like you just talked your way into leading our biggest client through the wilderness.
00:05:47Diane, I don't...
00:05:48Meg, you ran your own wedding planning company for three years.
00:05:51Cakes and wedding pavilions, I know.
00:05:53Mountains and nature hikes.
00:05:54Listen, Meg.
00:05:56I hired you because you know how to give the customer what they want.
00:05:59That is what we do here at Opus.
00:06:01You want to take the next big step?
00:06:03This is it.
00:06:05Can I just think it over?
00:06:06I don't need you to think it over.
00:06:08I need you to follow instructions.
00:06:10My instructions.
00:06:11Which Jamie will send to your device.
00:06:13So long as you follow them exactly, you'll be fine.
00:06:18Think of it as a recipe for a wedding cake.
00:06:31Think of it as a recipe for a wedding cake.
00:06:34I'd love to push her face into it afterward.
00:06:36I'd love to see that.
00:06:38And did you see the place?
00:06:39Yeah, what's wrong with it?
00:06:41Well, nothing.
00:06:43It's a movie set.
00:06:44A museum.
00:06:46Tinseltown Retreat?
00:06:48Are you kidding?
00:06:49Tinsel could be fun.
00:06:51And a gas-powered fire pitch.
00:06:53Maybe I can find a golf cart for their nature walks.
00:06:56Well, they're lawyers.
00:06:57We don't want to get sued if their cart crashes.
00:06:59You know, I may not know much about the great outdoors,
00:07:01but I know that this is not it.
00:07:05Says the gal jamming a pair of power pants into a designer backpack.
00:07:08What? It's a backpack, isn't it?
00:07:12Maybe Diane's right.
00:07:14Maybe I'm out of my league.
00:07:18No.
00:07:19You're just out of your comfort zone.
00:07:21Which is exactly where you need to be.
00:07:26Open your email.
00:07:31This is the map that Diane prepared.
00:07:33It'll get you where you need to go.
00:07:35And then this is the place here.
00:07:38Not far from where I used to go hiking with my folks.
00:07:41And the rest of the instructions are all here.
00:07:44We have all the gear in your car.
00:07:46Just show up, follow the recipe,
00:07:49and Diane and I will be there in five days.
00:07:52You want chocolate or vanilla?
00:07:54For what?
00:07:55For the cake that I'm going to bake.
00:07:57You want chocolate or vanilla?
00:07:59For what?
00:08:00For the cake that I'm going to bake.
00:08:28Continue 243 miles to Old Hunter Road.
00:08:52Turn right onto Old Hunter Road.
00:08:58Turn right onto Old Hunter Road.
00:09:11Arsa, find alternate routes to Fourth Star Ranch.
00:09:14Recalculating.
00:09:17Continue 425 miles on Highway 101.
00:09:22Turn right on Route 15.
00:09:24Continue for 108 miles.
00:09:26Turn right on Service Road Number 18.
00:09:2917 miles to Fourth Star Ranch.
00:09:32Estimated travel time, 5 hours and 12 minutes.
00:09:36Well, Arsa, looks like we're both overruled on this one.
00:09:40Recalculating.
00:09:41Continue 125 miles to Fourth Star Ranch.
00:09:45Estimated travel time, 2 hours and 8 minutes.
00:09:56Come on, Arsa, give me something.
00:10:00Come on, Arsa, give me something.
00:10:15Okay.
00:10:16Okay.
00:10:17Okay.
00:10:18Okay.
00:10:19Okay.
00:10:20Okay.
00:10:21Okay.
00:10:22Okay.
00:10:23Okay.
00:10:24Okay.
00:10:25Okay.
00:10:26Okay.
00:10:28Okay.
00:10:38Come on!
00:10:58Okay.
00:11:19Come on.
00:11:21Come on, Arsa.
00:11:22Come on, give me something.
00:11:23Give me something.
00:11:25Come on.
00:11:26Jeez.
00:11:28Come on.
00:11:29Arsa, come on, come on, come on.
00:11:30Anything.
00:11:31Anything.
00:11:32Please.
00:11:36No, no.
00:11:37Oh, no, no, no.
00:11:53Oh, my God.
00:11:57Oh, my God.
00:11:59Please, do you have a cell phone?
00:12:02Well, a GPS, then?
00:12:07All the contact I have with the outside world just drowned in that river.
00:12:09Do you have any means of reaching civilization?
00:12:12Got a horse.
00:12:13I see that.
00:12:15And a name.
00:12:18Rye Taylor.
00:12:19At your service.
00:12:21Rye Taylor.
00:12:22At your service.
00:12:25Meg.
00:12:26Sterling.
00:12:30Not a river.
00:12:31It's a creek.
00:12:32Well, it looks like a river to me.
00:12:35Didn't want to climb in and fish around for your phone?
00:12:37What, and get swept away right along with it?
00:12:40Yeah, six inches of water.
00:12:42Probably carry away a moose.
00:12:45Maybe I just didn't want to get wet.
00:12:50Oh, my God.
00:12:54Oh, no.
00:12:55Oh, no, no.
00:12:58Okay.
00:13:00Oh, come on. Please, please.
00:13:03Okay.
00:13:04Look, Mr. Taylor.
00:13:06Rye.
00:13:07Do you think you can help me get my car moving?
00:13:10Try.
00:13:12Okay.
00:13:14Hey, whoa.
00:13:16Here.
00:13:17No, it's okay. I got it. It's fine. I'm fine.
00:13:20Well, at least let me take your bag.
00:13:23Uh, no. That's fine. Yeah, thanks.
00:13:30Well, now she's stuck in here good.
00:13:34Looks like it might be the front axle.
00:13:38Car's going to be here a while.
00:13:40Oh, my God. This can't be happening.
00:13:42Do you have a car or a Jeep?
00:13:45Nearest town's a five-day horse ride.
00:13:47Five days?
00:13:48Uh, no. I have four days to get this car to a place called Four Star Ranch at Hart's Creek.
00:13:54Tinseltown Retreat?
00:13:56I know it.
00:13:57You know it?
00:13:58Sure.
00:13:59Oh, can you get me there?
00:14:00Not before sundown.
00:14:03My camp's just over this ridge.
00:14:05Your camp?
00:14:06Unless you want to sleep in your car for a few days.
00:14:09Guess I don't have a choice.
00:14:10Well, you always have a choice.
00:14:12I think it's only fair to warn you.
00:14:14I know jujitsu, and I'm a very light sleeper.
00:14:17I'm just a tour guide.
00:14:18Fine. Let's go.
00:14:20You're not going anywhere on that ankle.
00:14:22What am I supposed to...
00:14:25Uh, no. Look, I am not an animal person, and I...
00:14:29Don't worry. Let's loosen you up, show you how.
00:14:35I'm fine.
00:14:47Ugh.
00:14:48No, I'm fine. I can do it. I can do it. I'm fine.
00:14:58A natural.
00:15:00Let's go, Lou.
00:15:06What were you doing on that road, anyhow?
00:15:08No one uses it, so full of craters.
00:15:10My phone told me.
00:15:12Your phone told you?
00:15:13Well, actually, Ursa suggested another way.
00:15:15A way that would have added five hours and four minutes to my travel.
00:15:18Ursa?
00:15:19My GPS. My navigational system. Named it after...
00:15:22Ursa Major. The Big Dipper.
00:15:25I get it. Clever.
00:15:28So what's at Hollywood Ranch?
00:15:30Well, in four days, twelve angry lawyers and my furious boss.
00:15:34And what's with all the equipment?
00:15:37I don't know. I just packed it.
00:15:39Instructions were in an email on my phone.
00:15:41Maybe if I could just get everything there...
00:15:52What's that?
00:15:53Just checking something.
00:16:11Okay.
00:16:23I got it.
00:16:35I'll get the fire going.
00:16:36Good.
00:16:41Okay.
00:17:04You might want to sit closer to the fire.
00:17:06I'm just fine here, thank you.
00:17:12Thanks.
00:17:21Still checking things?
00:17:23I'm calculating how long it will take to get to the ranch.
00:17:26I assume the horse can walk at a faster pace than you.
00:17:29Say, about thirty percent?
00:17:30Don't know. Why don't you ask her?
00:17:38Stuff's flammable, you know.
00:17:42I happen to have allergies.
00:17:44To what?
00:17:45To the outside.
00:17:48Look, how far is this ranch?
00:17:52Well...
00:17:57We're here.
00:17:58There's a river that runs along here, and there's a friend's place in between.
00:18:02We'll stop there.
00:18:04Over the river a ways is Tinseltown Retreat.
00:18:07And next to that runs Hearts Creek.
00:18:09No bridge?
00:18:10Kind of a bridge.
00:18:12I wouldn't walk on it.
00:18:14River's low enough, we'll be able to cross just fine.
00:18:30So...
00:18:32You live here, then?
00:18:33I guess I kind of live all over here.
00:18:35Can't imagine life is one big camping trip.
00:18:37Can't imagine it any other way.
00:18:51Uh, what's this?
00:18:53Willow tea. For the pain.
00:19:05Here.
00:19:14Here.
00:19:15No, it's okay. It's fine. I got it.
00:19:17Here.
00:19:32Whoa, what is that?
00:19:34It's a synthesis of herbs and berries.
00:19:36Herbs?
00:19:37It's for the swelling.
00:19:39Something my mother taught me.
00:19:59Thank you.
00:20:01No bother.
00:20:03Had plenty of practice on Lucy here.
00:20:06No, you're a real prince charming.
00:20:08Well, you're never going to get your foot back in that glass slipper if you keep standing on it.
00:20:12Listen, you...
00:20:13Maybe you'd prefer to check out the royal palace over there.
00:20:15Have a little beauty rest?
00:20:21If we leave by breakfast, we should be at the ranch by lunch.
00:20:24I need more than just a few lines in the dirt, cowboy. I need specifics.
00:20:28Why don't you ask Ursa?
00:20:33Wow.
00:20:35I don't think I've ever seen so many stones.
00:20:54So, you're not out here making bombs and writing manifestos, are you?
00:20:59Sounds too complicated.
00:21:02I stick to mountains, horses and campfires and showing them to city folk when I have to.
00:21:06So, you're a mountain guy?
00:21:08Some of the time.
00:21:09And the notebook?
00:21:11I'm just an observer.
00:21:12Guess it fills the rest of the time.
00:21:15That is when I'm not mending city gals' twisted ankles.
00:21:19Well, on that charming note, I guess I'll check in to the royal palace.
00:21:25Good night, sweet prince.
00:21:30The flights of angels sing thee that I rest.
00:21:32What?
00:21:33Hamlet.
00:21:35Huh. And all this time I thought that was from Cinderella.
00:21:59Met our rooster, huh?
00:22:03There's coffee in the mug and some biscuits.
00:22:08How'd you sleep?
00:22:09Well, if you call laying on rocks and dirt while listening to every hoot and rustle in the forest sleep, like a princess.
00:22:18How's the ankle?
00:22:20It's good, actually. It's real good.
00:22:24How's she doing?
00:22:26Who?
00:22:27Lucy. Is she breaking any records?
00:22:29Look, it's very important I get to this ranch on time.
00:22:32Just saying. We get there when we get there.
00:22:36Just ease up on the reins.
00:22:37I think I got the hang of this, cowboy.
00:22:39Well, you're confusing her.
00:22:41Look, I don't know what you think you know about me, but I'm not some high-maintenance southern belle coming here to tour God's country.
00:22:46Easy, easy.
00:22:47I ran my own wedding planning company for years.
00:22:49I don't need some macho mountain man telling me...
00:23:11Whoa, easy, easy.
00:23:15She did pretty well.
00:23:17Huh. She did break the record.
00:23:29What's with the stopwatch, anyway?
00:23:31Thought you folks had those things on your cell phones.
00:23:34It was a gift from my favorite professor in business school.
00:23:38For perfect attendance and punctuality.
00:23:42What are you doing?
00:23:43Nature calls. I'm going to guide it.
00:23:46Careful.
00:23:48Those might protect you from the bears, but it's not the animals I'm worried about.
00:23:54There's someone else in these woods.
00:23:56Someone?
00:23:58Guess you could call him a man.
00:24:01He had a name once.
00:24:03Now, he's just known as the Prospector.
00:24:06Like a lot of folks, he came up here looking for gold.
00:24:09Heard he found it, too.
00:24:11So did some other fellows, and they come up here and they try to take it from him.
00:24:17Except the thing is, is he took something from them.
00:24:21A hand, usually.
00:24:23A left one.
00:24:26He'd let you live so you could tell the story, but...
00:24:29Survivors?
00:24:31Well, they didn't do too much living.
00:24:34That's a good one, Mountain Man.
00:24:36You should write that one down in your notebook.
00:25:03Let's go.
00:25:34Hey, Mr. Bear.
00:25:36How about a jingle bell sing-along?
00:25:39Oh, my God!
00:25:41Oh, please, mister, I'm not after your gold.
00:25:43I'm lost. I'm not a Prospector.
00:25:44I don't have a pick or a shovel.
00:25:45I don't even have a nail file.
00:25:47Please don't take my hand.
00:25:49What in Sam hell are you blathering about, lady?
00:25:54Rye, Rye, I found him. I found the Prospector.
00:25:58I found the Prospector.
00:25:59What in Sam hell are you blathering about, lady?
00:26:02Rye, Rye, I found him. I found the Prospector.
00:26:05You better put that thing away before you hurt yourself.
00:26:08Meg Sterling, meet my guiding partner, Curly.
00:26:22Mad Prospector, huh?
00:26:24Usually uses the axe murderer gag on the real jumpy ones.
00:26:29My favorite is the ghost of Holler Mountain.
00:26:32Do that one around campfires late at night.
00:26:36Well, that was quite the welcome party.
00:26:38Well, I sure appreciate your jingly bells, but when I take a nature hike,
00:26:43I prefer to bring along my trusty Paul Bunyan special.
00:27:00I don't suppose you have somewhere to clean up around here
00:27:03that doesn't involve ice cold rapids or mountain waterfalls?
00:27:06Yes, ma'am. Got a shower.
00:27:08You have a shower?
00:27:10Sure do. Over yonder.
00:27:12Handle's a mite finicky. You gotta wiggle it some.
00:27:15I myself only take three showers a year.
00:27:18New Year's Day, Independence Day, and my own birthday.
00:27:23Don't get too close. Curly's born on a leap year.
00:27:25Oh!
00:27:27Got a bucket set up over there. Just pour it in the pail, pull the handle, and have at her.
00:27:33I'll get the bucket. It's a little heavy.
00:27:35It's okay, boys. I think I can figure it out.
00:27:55Oh!
00:28:25Ah!
00:28:56Grrr.
00:29:01Grrr.
00:29:09Grrr.
00:29:20Ah!
00:29:21Ah!
00:29:24Guess she figured out the handle.
00:29:26Oh! Oh! Oh!
00:29:29Oh!
00:29:31Oh! Oh!
00:29:43Ah!
00:29:52Ah!
00:29:53Ah!
00:29:54Ah!
00:29:55Ah!
00:29:56Ah!
00:29:57Ah!
00:29:58Ah!
00:29:59Ah!
00:30:00Ah!
00:30:01Ah!
00:30:02Ah!
00:30:03Ah!
00:30:06Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
00:30:08Lucy!
00:30:10Good horsey!
00:30:12Go on, help a sister out, will you?
00:30:15Go on.
00:30:16Grrr.
00:30:17Grrr.
00:30:21Oh, bless you, girl.
00:30:24Us ladies gotta stick together, am I right?
00:30:26Grrr.
00:30:39Maybe you should have taken the mountain waterfall route.
00:30:42Oh, no. It was invigorating, really.
00:30:44Besides, I had some help from our rooster friend.
00:30:48Now, if only Lucy could help me contact the civilized world.
00:30:51You need internet?
00:30:53Yeah. Rye said there was a place around here.
00:30:55Oh, that place is my place. I'll go start the generator.
00:30:59You don't have hot running water, but you have internet access?
00:31:02Well, sure. It's kinda on and off. Almost as cranky as my first wife, Lily.
00:31:09So, you have a computer, then?
00:31:11I got a whole little setup inside.
00:31:13Well, how else am I gonna watch the season finale of The Bachelorette?
00:31:44Huh.
00:31:55You send your message?
00:31:56Yeah. Hoping it will buy me some time.
00:31:59I managed to print out my itinerary.
00:32:01I got a printer?
00:32:05What's this? Doing some renovations for the palace.
00:32:09It's a sled for the horses. We can use it to haul you gear.
00:32:13Here. Tie these on.
00:32:28My mother taught me.
00:32:30Made one for the dog when I was eight.
00:32:32I was hoping he was gonna carry my books to school, but...
00:32:35First time I hooked it up to him, he bolted across the river and...
00:32:38was pulling my homework off the banks for weeks.
00:32:43Like... like this?
00:32:47I'll take George. He's a little feistier.
00:32:49Besides, I think Lucy likes you better anyway.
00:32:53Okay.
00:33:01Okay. No Kentucky Derby today, okay girl?
00:33:05Now remember, you're in charge.
00:33:07She's fairly easy going if you treat her right.
00:33:09Heck, she knows these trails better than I do.
00:33:12Use your reins to guide her left and right.
00:33:14A quick pull back will stop her,
00:33:16and a gentle squeeze of your heels will get her moving.
00:33:19You ready?
00:33:21Ready.
00:33:40So, your mom, she was a mountain woman then?
00:33:44You could say that.
00:33:46She grew up in and around these parts.
00:33:48And your father?
00:33:50Rancher. Wyoming.
00:33:52So you are a cowboy.
00:33:54Not me. That was my mother's world.
00:33:57Rodeo.
00:33:59Heck of a barrel racer.
00:34:01My father wasn't much for bull riding or hog tying.
00:34:03But a horse and a rider working together?
00:34:06Poetry in motion, huh?
00:34:09That's right.
00:34:28Alright, so what do you really need?
00:34:31All of it.
00:34:35Including this blender?
00:34:36Yes. All of it.
00:34:43I guess this means this inflatable unicorn's coming too.
00:35:00Land sakes!
00:35:02You got enough gear there to supply a small car?
00:35:06It's a colony.
00:35:08There's a unicorn in there if you want to float down the river.
00:35:12Oh, your boss lady left a message just before the Wi-Fi crapped out for the day.
00:35:37Everything alright?
00:35:40Between a broke down car and a broken phone, sure.
00:35:44At least I got the itinerary.
00:36:00What's that?
00:36:02Fax mix seasoning.
00:36:03What's that?
00:36:05Fax mix seasoning. Want some?
00:36:07No, thank you.
00:36:09I like to keep it simple.
00:36:11Really?
00:36:13Nothing techs or mechs about that.
00:36:15Writing a new baked bean recipe?
00:36:18Just some scribbling.
00:36:20Clears my head, that's all.
00:36:21Writing a new baked bean recipe?
00:36:24Just some scribbling.
00:36:26Clears my head, that's all.
00:36:51It's beautiful, Curly.
00:36:53What's it called?
00:36:55No name yet.
00:36:57No lyrics neither.
00:36:59Was hoping Shakespeare over there would write some.
00:37:02I only write tragedies.
00:37:04Isn't that what country music is all about?
00:37:06Lame dogs broke down trucks and girls would done you wrong.
00:37:10Country music?
00:37:12That glitzy racket that pop stars pump out over the radio?
00:37:15Just because you got a twang in your guitar and a drawl on your lip don't make you a country singer.
00:37:24What about you, Rye?
00:37:26Let's get a real cowboy's perspective.
00:37:28You see any cows around here?
00:37:31We ain't cowboys.
00:37:34You could have fooled me.
00:37:36We lead folks around these parts that want to be cowboys or cowgirls,
00:37:42like some of them country singers.
00:37:45Folks reckon they put on a hat and spurs, do a little roping and riding.
00:37:50They can act their way into it.
00:37:52No ma'am, we ain't cowboys.
00:37:56Ranchers and farmers work hard for a living.
00:37:59Rye and myself, we're mountain men.
00:38:05What's the difference?
00:38:07Well, young lady, you might find that out in the next day or two.
00:38:13Go and attend to the horses.
00:38:15Okay.
00:38:37Oh, who poured their ashtray in here?
00:38:40Got the grounds is all.
00:38:42Just sip it real slow.
00:38:46Okay.
00:38:57Hey, Curly.
00:38:59Tell me, what's Rye's story?
00:39:04Rye?
00:39:06Just kind of showed up one day offering his services.
00:39:11Didn't say much about his past.
00:39:13I didn't ask.
00:39:15He sure knew his way around these mountains.
00:39:18So you took him in?
00:39:20I was looking for a partner.
00:39:22He was looking for a change.
00:39:24Some people come to these parts to get away from something.
00:39:28Or someone?
00:39:30I couldn't say.
00:39:33But it was enough to bring him all the way out here three summers ago.
00:39:39A person starts to question themselves, soon they'll question everything.
00:39:45And I know all about plans going down the drain.
00:39:52Most plans are just maps in the sand anyways.
00:39:56Directions scratched in the dirt.
00:39:58And then along comes the wind and the rain.
00:40:01Yeah.
00:40:03I've had a few things get washed up in the last three years.
00:40:05Sure.
00:40:07But life's made up of what you decide to do after the wind and the rain.
00:40:19I think I'll turn in for the night.
00:40:21You happen to have an extra tent?
00:40:23Got you all set up inside.
00:40:26Why thank you, Curly.
00:40:28A mountain man and a gentleman.
00:40:29Why thank you, Curly.
00:40:31A mountain man and a gentleman.
00:41:00Good night, mountain man.
00:41:19You keep these pots boiling all night, Curly?
00:41:22Mm-hmm. Coffee's hot.
00:41:30Coffee.
00:41:41Find any cigarette butts?
00:41:43Not yet.
00:41:46Where's Rye?
00:41:48In the river. Getting breakfast, I imagine.
00:41:54You're gonna need these.
00:41:59Ugh.
00:42:24Any moose float by yet?
00:42:26Not yet.
00:42:27Nothing's been by for a while but a few deer.
00:42:30Oh, you found tracks?
00:42:32Poop.
00:42:34Poop? I don't see any poop.
00:42:36It's because they're standing in it.
00:42:38Oh.
00:42:40Oh, you caught something?
00:42:42Uh, yeah. He's fighting me, though.
00:42:52Rainbow trout. And beauties, too.
00:42:55Meg caught the big one.
00:42:57Well, scooped was more like it.
00:42:59Oh, that counts in my book.
00:43:01I'll get these fellas swimming in potatoes in no time.
00:43:04Actually, we're gonna take our breakfast to go.
00:43:11I know a shortcut.
00:43:13If we head out now, we should make Hearts Creek by noon.
00:43:15Get everything set and come back for the gear.
00:43:18Mountain granola bars.
00:43:20Cool.
00:43:23Got any more of those mountain granola bars?
00:43:24Thanks, coach.
00:43:26Didn't realize we were holding football tryouts.
00:43:29You think pretty quick.
00:43:31Is that why they sent you out here?
00:43:33Oh, no. Opus executive events.
00:43:35I'm not supposed to think, just follow orders.
00:43:38You do not seem like the type to follow orders.
00:43:41How'd you go from weddings to executive events?
00:43:44Practicality, really.
00:43:46If I wasn't chasing someone for invoices,
00:43:48I was scrambling to drum up new business.
00:43:50Guess I was just trying to keep it simple, too.
00:43:52Maybe what you need was a good partner.
00:43:55Like me.
00:43:57Like you?
00:43:59Yeah.
00:44:01Like Aunt Curly.
00:44:03Oh, yeah, right.
00:44:05I see.
00:44:19You ready?
00:44:20Ready for what?
00:44:22There's a shallow part just up here.
00:44:24Shallow? You said there was a bridge.
00:44:26I never said that.
00:44:28Said we could cross here.
00:44:30I can't do that.
00:44:32You can count me out then, cowboy.
00:44:34You'll be fine.
00:44:36The river's low, and besides, Lucy's done this a dozen times.
00:44:38I'm not worried about Lucy.
00:44:40So you're allergic to water, too, then?
00:44:42I hate the water.
00:44:44You can't hate the water.
00:44:46Civilizations began next to rivers like this.
00:44:48Well, this ain't Egypt, and that ain't Benin.
00:44:50It's a mile.
00:44:52Come on, Meg. It's the only way.
00:44:54I can't swim.
00:44:58All right, well, you don't hate the water.
00:45:01You just hate drowning.
00:45:03That's right.
00:45:05I don't care if it takes another day.
00:45:07I am not crossing.
00:45:09Meg!
00:45:12Meg!
00:45:14Meg!
00:45:17Meg!
00:45:21Are you all right?
00:45:24Listen, Meg.
00:45:26You're gonna have to let go and swim down to me.
00:45:29Come on, Meg.
00:45:31Let's do this.
00:45:33Hey, swimming's easier than you think.
00:45:35It's more like floating than anything else.
00:45:38Just let go and go with the flow.
00:45:40I'll catch you, I promise.
00:45:42Come on.
00:45:44You can do it.
00:45:50I got you.
00:45:52There you go.
00:45:54I'm right here.
00:46:04Sometimes it's floating.
00:46:17What, no trout and baked beans tonight?
00:46:18Nope.
00:46:20Ry's on cooking duty.
00:46:22Says he's got something special.
00:46:24Really?
00:46:26Don't you worry.
00:46:28Got some chipmunk for tomorrow's bean menu.
00:46:31Chipmunk? Very gamey.
00:46:37Oh, don't tell me there's not a layer of beans under there.
00:46:41I was just getting used to them.
00:46:43I found a jar in Curly's old spice rack.
00:46:45Not sure if it's Tex or Max, but...
00:46:48I think the best before date was January 79.
00:46:51I got a spice rack?
00:46:54It sure is peaceful out here.
00:47:00Think we can still get all the equipment over to the ranch?
00:47:04I added some wood to the sled.
00:47:06Should float fine.
00:47:11The river...
00:47:13It was so fast.
00:47:15There was just no way to fight it.
00:47:18So powerful.
00:47:23I remember when I was a kid, it...
00:47:25It rained.
00:47:27For four straight days.
00:47:29Too much for the river nearby and...
00:47:32She burst her banks.
00:47:35Water just...
00:47:37Rushed right through our sandbags and...
00:47:40It was a flash flood.
00:47:43The barn was completely gone and...
00:47:45The house was gutted.
00:47:49I lost a lot of animals.
00:47:53In tears, I remember...
00:47:55Hauling those stupid sandbags back to the river and...
00:47:58Dropping them in.
00:48:00My father stopped me.
00:48:03And held me in his arms and...
00:48:09He said that...
00:48:11The best that we could hope for is to manage nature a little.
00:48:15He explained that...
00:48:16The only control you have is your reaction to what nature throws at you.
00:48:22Did you rebuild it?
00:48:24Better than ever.
00:48:26You ever miss it?
00:48:28The ranch?
00:48:30Life.
00:48:36Yeah.
00:48:37Sometimes.
00:48:39Just couldn't find the right cowgirl to settle down with, huh?
00:48:44Yeah.
00:48:45Yeah, well, problem was I did.
00:48:50At least I thought I did.
00:48:57Guess I'll turn in then.
00:48:59It's gonna be a long day tomorrow.
00:49:02Goodnight, Meg.
00:49:05Goodnight, Rye.
00:49:15Rye!
00:49:46Oh, Rye, I'm sorry. You left your...
00:49:49I just saw off your pages. I...
00:49:51They're beautiful, Rye. Your poems.
00:50:15Oh.
00:50:36Morning, Crow.
00:50:39What?
00:50:41I...
00:50:45Did...
00:50:46Did you do all this yourself?
00:50:48Yeah.
00:50:50Barry?
00:50:53Hey, Rye.
00:50:54Look who's on breakfast duty.
00:50:56She even used your log cabin trick.
00:51:00Coffee?
00:51:11Looks like there's a grumpy bear loose in these woods.
00:51:15He caught me looking in his notebook.
00:51:17I see.
00:51:19I didn't mean to pry. I just... I wanted...
00:51:21To see if he was writing about you.
00:51:24Well...
00:51:26Do you think he is?
00:51:27Probably.
00:51:29Along with everyone else he's met.
00:51:31He's got a dozen of those little notebooks.
00:51:34Probably got a whole one just on me.
00:51:46Thanks.
00:51:48You're welcome.
00:51:52I'm gonna go get my belt on.
00:51:55You're already wearing suspenders.
00:51:57I'm the kind of fella that wears both.
00:52:07Rye, I'm sorry. I...
00:52:08Forget it.
00:52:11I'm sorry.
00:52:12I'm sorry. I...
00:52:13Forget it.
00:52:16Well, I wanted to ask you...
00:52:18Yeah.
00:52:19I'll still take you to the retreat.
00:52:22Actually, I was gonna ask you if I could borrow Lucy for the day.
00:52:26You're going solo then?
00:52:28I see.
00:52:30This whole city slicker business is just an act?
00:52:32Or you're a seasoned professional out here now?
00:52:34Hold on a second.
00:52:35Look, you make one little fire, you pick a few berries.
00:52:38That doesn't mean you can handle yourself, okay?
00:52:40Spare me another partner speech, mountain man.
00:52:42I think I can haul a pile of equipment down a mountain all by my big self.
00:52:45Really?
00:52:46When did the caterer show up?
00:52:49Look, I said I was sorry about the journal.
00:52:51You just left it laying there.
00:52:53Yeah, and I trust that people don't go snooping.
00:52:56I doubt you've ever trusted anyone in your life.
00:53:06Thank you for your hospitality.
00:53:08I'll endeavor to have your horse back before sundown.
00:53:39Say, you two heading out already?
00:53:43Oh, just me, Curly.
00:53:44You heading down to Hearts Creek alone?
00:53:46Yeah, I think I've worn out my welcome.
00:53:50Besides, I won't be alone.
00:53:51I've got Lucy.
00:53:52She's a little more talkative.
00:53:57That one.
00:53:58It'll take you right to the river.
00:54:00Sled should float across fine long as you got it tied to Lucy real tight.
00:54:05Path on the other side will take you to your ranch.
00:54:08Thanks, Curly.
00:54:19You know, I've seen mules with more sense than you.
00:54:22I retired from life.
00:54:23I earned that right.
00:54:25But you, you've got your whole life right in front of you,
00:54:27and you're watching it pass you by.
00:54:30My life's just fine.
00:54:31I've seen the way you look at her.
00:54:34What are you talking about, old man?
00:54:36For a man that likes to write a lot of fancy letters,
00:54:39you should try speaking them to someone sometime.
00:54:51Was it exit 201 or 203?
00:54:53203.
00:54:54Are you sure?
00:54:55Yes, it's all here in your printed directions.
00:54:58Do you have anything on the iPad yet?
00:55:04No service.
00:55:05I knew we should have picked a closer location.
00:55:08There are some perfectly good parks in town.
00:55:10Mr. Howard wanted the raw elements.
00:55:12Well, I didn't think we'd have to travel back in time to the 1800s to find it.
00:55:17Oh, I hope he doesn't have this problem.
00:55:19Meg said it in her email.
00:55:20Wi-Fi only at the ranch.
00:55:22Besides, we all have the same...
00:55:24You have our reservations for tonight?
00:55:30Crystal Waters Lodge.
00:55:31Check-in at 5.
00:55:32Check-out tomorrow morning at 8 a.m.
00:55:34Then it's three hours to Four Star Ranch.
00:55:36Mr. Howard and his party arrive at 2 p.m.
00:55:41And the jacuzzi?
00:55:42You made sure my room tonight has a jacuzzi.
00:55:45Check.
00:55:46Check.
00:55:47Check.
00:55:48Check.
00:55:49Check.
00:55:50Check.
00:55:51Check.
00:55:52My room tonight has a jacuzzi.
00:55:54Check.
00:55:56I can't believe people actually choose to come out here and sleep on the ground in tents.
00:56:02Well, I think it's very exciting.
00:56:06Well, I do not want excitement.
00:56:08I want perfection.
00:56:11Look, okay, I know Meg.
00:56:13She is a details person.
00:56:15Meticulous and precise.
00:56:17Every final sheet will be tucked.
00:56:18Every candle will be lit.
00:56:19Every napkin will be folded.
00:56:21You'll see.
00:56:33Alright, girl.
00:56:34You've got three minutes.
00:56:39No!
00:56:40No!
00:56:41No, no, no, no, no!
00:56:42Move these!
00:56:51Move these!
00:57:02I hear you, girl.
00:57:03I'm kind of tired of jingle bells myself.
00:57:06What a game, huh?
00:57:07Ain't that a tune?
00:57:13Come on, you don't want to be nice before my sunshine?
00:57:16Maybe bears don't like country music.
00:57:34Here goes nothing.
00:57:45Come on.
00:58:16Oh!
00:58:22I'm sorry.
00:58:23You do like country music.
00:58:25Hey, listen, big guy.
00:58:26I'm taking requests.
00:58:31I'd like to hear a little Silent Night if you're going back to Christmas tunes.
00:58:37I'd also like to offer my services.
00:58:40I'm a seasoned mountain guide and a first-rate horseman.
00:58:43My rates are pretty reasonable.
00:58:46I can get you some references if needed.
00:58:49I'll take a verbal contract and I can start right away.
00:58:52Well, you can start by reloading my sled.
00:58:56You're the boss.
00:58:59I'm also a legendary unicorn wrangler, you know.
00:59:01I am happy to see those things reintroduced to the wild.
00:59:08Listen.
00:59:10We lost a lot of time with the unicorn fiasco.
00:59:12We're about halfway between Curleys and the retreat.
00:59:15I don't think we're going to make it either by sundown.
00:59:18You want to camp here for the night?
00:59:20Well, tomorrow's doomsday.
00:59:21It's going to come whether we get to the ranch tonight or in the morning.
00:59:24You pitch the tent. I'll start the fire.
00:59:34Separate tents, huh?
00:59:36Ever the gentleman.
00:59:43Ah.
00:59:46More mountain granola bars?
00:59:49Thanks.
00:59:50I love this stuff.
00:59:55I could have used this one at my wedding planning company.
00:59:58A good caterer can make or break you, you know what I mean?
01:00:04Why don't I make some coffee?
01:00:12Sure.
01:00:22You know, I think I recognize some of the berries out here.
01:00:25Haskat?
01:00:26I used to go to this berry picking farm when I was a kid.
01:00:29This one year, I picked two pails of raspberries-
01:00:31Listen, Meg.
01:00:35I want to get some things straight.
01:00:37Oh, okay.
01:00:38You see, well, I've made my mind up about some things and decided that I'm making some changes.
01:00:47I'm leaving.
01:00:48Oh?
01:00:50This thing. I mean, this mountain guide thing.
01:00:56I'm getting rid of some extra baggage and I don't want anything tying me down.
01:01:00You know what I mean?
01:01:02No, I don't.
01:01:04Look, um...
01:01:13There's a lot of things I figured out being up here and some things make more sense now.
01:01:20Some make less.
01:01:23That's... that's not what I mean.
01:01:26Um...
01:01:27There's things that I know that I do want, but there's certainly things I know I don't want and, uh...
01:01:35Meg, what I'm trying to say is-
01:01:37It's okay, Rye. I know what you're trying to say.
01:01:44I don't even know what I'm trying to say. It's just...
01:01:47I don't know what I'm trying to say.
01:01:50I'm just...
01:01:52I don't know what I'm trying to say.
01:01:54I don't even know what I'm trying to say. It's just...
01:02:04Good night.
01:02:24Good night.
01:02:54Stupid.
01:03:14Stupid.
01:03:16Just say the words.
01:03:24Stupid.
01:03:49Dear Meg...
01:03:51She's a typical city slicker, but what should I expect?
01:03:55The kind of person who can't see the beauty all around her.
01:03:59A wise man once told me for a man who likes to write a lot of fancy words, I should try speaking them to someone sometime.
01:04:06I was hoping to get the courage to tell this to your face, but for now I...
01:04:14I just had to get this down, so there's no misunderstanding.
01:04:17I couldn't spend three days with this person.
01:04:21Forget the rest of my life.
01:04:24I know we've just met, and I know I don't always show the inner workings of my heart, but...
01:04:29I guess what I'm feeling is love.
01:04:32I'm done trying to fix people.
01:04:35I guess in the end, I pity her more than anything else.
01:04:42When you read this, I'll be back at Curly's.
01:04:44I have to set some things straight with the old man before I start a new chapter in my life.
01:04:51I'll return for your answer with an open mind and an open heart.
01:04:57P.S. I'll also bring breakfast.
01:05:14I'm sorry.
01:05:44I'm sorry.
01:06:10Meg?
01:06:14Meg?
01:06:23Meg!
01:06:24Meg?
01:06:41Mr. Taylor, it is clear I've become a burden to you.
01:06:45And while I appreciate your guidance thus far, I cannot rely on you to fix me.
01:06:50And I will not tolerate being pitied.
01:06:52And so, I hereby terminate my contract with you.
01:06:56Do not follow me.
01:07:10What's going on? Where's Meg?
01:07:13Over at Tinseltown Retreat, I imagine.
01:07:18You going somewhere?
01:07:22Yeah. Anywhere but here.
01:07:25You're quitting?
01:07:27It's time I moved on. I don't want to leave you hanging, but...
01:07:31Oh, don't worry about me. I've been trying to retire up here for years.
01:07:36But what about Meg?
01:07:38Meg?
01:07:43Here's what Meg thought.
01:07:53I don't understand.
01:07:55Well, I do.
01:07:57Perfectly.
01:08:01Thanks for everything, Curly.
01:08:03I'll check in on you from time to time.
01:08:06Whoa! What are you doing, fool?
01:08:12Rye, wait! These are your words!
01:08:15Yeah, and they don't mean a dang thing.
01:08:17Well, what's this?
01:08:18More ramblings of a fool, I suppose.
01:08:20Love is a strong word?
01:08:23You're telling me these words don't mean nothing to you?
01:08:27Not without the word trust.
01:08:32You ought to thank your lucky stars that a girl like that is interested in your sorry life.
01:08:38Here, take them.
01:08:41Maybe one day you'll realize the wisdom in these words.
01:08:44Take them.
01:08:46Maybe one day you'll realize the wisdom in these pages.
01:08:49And wonder how them words ever came out of that fool head of yours.
01:09:14Meg? Meg?
01:09:23All the equipment is gone.
01:09:25Oh my god. She could be wandering around out here.
01:09:28With a car full of equipment?
01:09:30But in the email it said that she arrived safe and sound.
01:09:35Oh god, I hate it out here.
01:09:45Oh my god.
01:10:11Of course.
01:10:14Of course.
01:10:44Oh.
01:10:47Oh.
01:10:50I want that place as cozy as a western home on the range.
01:10:56Okay.
01:11:00No firewood. Good start.
01:11:14Okay.
01:11:44Okay.
01:12:14Oh god.
01:12:20Oh god.
01:12:25Meg? Are you alright?
01:12:28I saw the smoke.
01:12:30No, Curly, I'm not alright.
01:12:45What happened?
01:12:48My boss told me to start the fire. It was the second thing on her list.
01:12:53Well, that shouldn't have been.
01:12:55This here hasn't been used in a while.
01:12:58Probably a bird's nest stuck in the chimney.
01:13:05Say, Missy, I don't want to add to your troubles.
01:13:09I'm sorry.
01:13:10Say, Missy, I don't want to add to your troubles.
01:13:15But I thought you might want to know.
01:13:19Rye's gone.
01:13:21I'm not surprised.
01:13:24Well, this might surprise you.
01:13:28Fell out of his other notebook.
01:13:41Curly, where is he?
01:13:44Probably halfway to California, I would imagine.
01:13:50I don't understand.
01:13:52Listen, I'm going to go back and check if you left anything behind.
01:13:58Then maybe I can help you.
01:14:01No, it's okay, Curly. It doesn't matter now.
01:14:04I'm real sorry for your troubles.
01:14:07He's a dang pig-headed fool anyhow.
01:14:10No, I'm the fool. I'm the fool.
01:14:13They can't get Edward to pull this off.
01:14:17The good Lord doesn't judge us on our weaknesses.
01:14:22He judges us on our strengths.
01:14:25You've showed some real grit out here, young lady.
01:14:31Thanks.
01:14:32I'm gonna, if you need anything, you know where I am.
01:14:39Oh, I noticed an email to you from some fella named Brian.
01:14:44Says his phone told him the service road was unsafe or something.
01:14:48I don't know.
01:14:50Oh, the service road.
01:14:52No.
01:15:02Huh.
01:15:32Oh no.
01:15:54This is ridiculous. She is obviously at the ranch.
01:15:58You stay here in case she comes back. I'll take the long way around.
01:16:02All I can say is, she had better have everything set up perfectly.
01:16:25No, no, no, no, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey, wait, wait, stop, stop, stop!
01:16:30No!
01:16:33Oh boy.
01:16:54Don't make me go out there.
01:17:03Come on.
01:17:24Meg!
01:17:26Thank God you're okay.
01:17:28Why do you- where did you-
01:17:30How did you get a horse?
01:17:32Long story. Where's Diane?
01:17:34She left for the ranch a little while ago.
01:17:36Right. Thought she'd buy some time.
01:17:38Morning, Meg. Somehow I don't think this little mishap was on the itinerary.
01:17:42I'm so sorry, Mr. Howard. Is everyone alright?
01:17:45Certainly got hearts racing.
01:17:47But, uh, no damage. Except for the tire.
01:17:51I was more concerned about you.
01:17:53Oh, well, I've been on quite an adventure.
01:17:56And so have you. This blown tire is a perfect example.
01:18:00Oh?
01:18:02Yeah. It's quite fortuitous, you see, because, well, things have changed, Mr. Howard.
01:18:09Changed?
01:18:11Yeah. The itinerary I put together, that was more of a rough outline.
01:18:15What mountain men out here like to call a map in the sand.
01:18:18You said you wanted to test your interns, Brian.
01:18:21Well, for the next few days, we're going to see what you're all made of.
01:18:23You gotta go with what life throws at you.
01:18:25And out here, it's a lot.
01:18:28But it ain't green goo smoothies.
01:18:31And it ain't manicured bits of time.
01:18:36And it ain't unicorns.
01:18:38It's wit, grit, and guts.
01:18:43So, cinch your saddles and grab your paddles, because for the next few days, we're riding the rapids.
01:18:49Oh, that is what I'm talking about.
01:18:54I mean, Diane had me go in there for a while with that itinerary.
01:18:58I knew it had to be a joke.
01:19:01Young lady, this is music to my ears.
01:19:06Okay. So, grab only what you can carry and follow me.
01:19:10We'll ride the rapids.
01:19:11This is music to my ears.
01:19:14Okay. So, grab only what you can carry and follow me.
01:19:18We'll arrange for a tow truck once we get to the ranch.
01:19:21All right, troops. You heard her.
01:19:24Let's gear up.
01:19:32So, what's the plan?
01:19:34I know a shortcut.
01:19:36If Diane's taking the long way around, it gives us just enough time to beat her there.
01:19:39Try to save this whole thing.
01:19:41I haven't thought that far ahead.
01:19:57So, these marks here are left by a grizzly bear who stood up and scared his prey!
01:20:01Whoa!
01:20:07Sherry.
01:20:09So, these are deer droppings.
01:20:12They run in packs.
01:20:14So, usually when you see this, it means that game is nearby.
01:20:17Nice.
01:20:21Oh, sweet!
01:20:23Um, I don't know.
01:20:26This is tree moss and it's on this side of the tree.
01:20:29And this side of the tree is dry.
01:20:31Because when the sun rises, it comes up this way and over on this side.
01:20:34So, this side always stays wet and mossy.
01:20:36That's incredible.
01:20:38You've done this trek often?
01:20:40Yeah.
01:20:41Yeah.
01:20:58What is this?
01:21:00It's a shortcut.
01:21:02Maybe there's a bridge near.
01:21:04No bridge. We're gonna have to wade across.
01:21:06But right now, this is our only chance at beating Diane to the ranch.
01:21:09But I thought you told me you don't do water.
01:21:12Guess I'm getting used to it out here.
01:21:15Well, scouts!
01:21:18What have we got here?
01:21:21Looks like we're gonna get a little wet.
01:21:24Brian?
01:21:29Okay.
01:21:32Well, troops.
01:21:34Sounds like we got our first real true test, huh?
01:21:37Wits, grits, and guts!
01:21:42Let's go!
01:21:50I can't swim.
01:21:52Oh, don't worry, Sherry.
01:21:54It's more floating than anything.
01:21:56I'll tell you what.
01:21:58I'm right on Lucy.
01:22:00She's an old pro at this.
01:22:02Come on.
01:22:04Two step.
01:22:07It's pretty fun to start there.
01:22:09Right.
01:22:11There you go. And jump.
01:22:14You all right?
01:22:24You got this.
01:22:33I've never felt so alive!
01:22:35You did great.
01:22:37Thanks, so did you.
01:22:44Well, Mountain Meg.
01:22:47What now?
01:22:49Yeah, what now?
01:23:00Where are the sidewalks?
01:23:08Ugh.
01:23:12So, what are you gonna do once we get there?
01:23:14I have no idea.
01:23:16This could all still end in disaster.
01:23:18Well, then let's just make it the disaster of a lifetime.
01:23:21With the mountains, magic, and memories.
01:23:23Oh, it'll be memorable, all right.
01:23:25Trashed equipment, a fake ranch house, and a busted stove.
01:23:28Maybe we can set the whole place ablaze and roast weenies around it.
01:23:32Okay, first things first.
01:23:34I'll get the fire going, get everyone dry.
01:23:35Then we need to salvage the equipment.
01:23:37And we'll figure out sleeping arrangements later.
01:23:39And-
01:23:53Curly, you-
01:23:55How did you-
01:23:57Sorry we're late, ma'am.
01:23:59Never did win any awards for punctuality.
01:24:01Well, maybe you could use this to time them city slickers on our obstacle course.
01:24:07Thank you, Curly.
01:24:12I, um-
01:24:14I read your note.
01:24:16Well, I-
01:24:18I read your notebook.
01:24:20It seemed pretty clear.
01:24:22It was pretty clear, all right.
01:24:25At the time I wrote it.
01:24:26You're gonna go snooping.
01:24:28Make sure you got the right book.
01:24:31Here.
01:24:34Check the date.
01:24:38Three years ago.
01:24:40Right.
01:24:42That's when I first came up here.
01:24:44This notebook's about my ex.
01:24:46And I can understand how you'd feel if he thought it was about you.
01:24:50This.
01:24:51This is a notebook I can write in about you.
01:25:03You did all this?
01:25:05Rye Taylor.
01:25:07At your service.
01:25:09Absolutely spectacular.
01:25:11The camp, I mean.
01:25:13I'm just a hired hand.
01:25:15This is all Meg's doing.
01:25:17Rye's the mountain guide who's been helping us.
01:25:19Rye's the mountain guide who's been helping me out here.
01:25:23He taught me to see a lot of things I didn't notice before.
01:25:27Meg here taught me a few things, too.
01:25:30Right.
01:25:32I see.
01:25:35Meg!
01:25:37Meg!
01:25:39Where is she?
01:25:43This is outrageous!
01:25:50What is this?
01:25:54Who are these people?
01:26:04Mr. Howard.
01:26:06What?
01:26:08How did you get here?
01:26:10Mountain Meg here guided us through the wilderness.
01:26:13It was awesome!
01:26:15What is this?
01:26:16What is this?
01:26:21Did you do this?
01:26:23Wait, Diane. I can explain.
01:26:25I started the fire inside just like you asked me to.
01:26:27It's a disaster.
01:26:29The stove is clogged.
01:26:31How can you be so incompetent?
01:26:33This is your four-star ranch.
01:26:35Only it's been abandoned for about ten years.
01:26:38But the online ad said picturesque mountains.
01:26:42That's what mountain men call getting it in the neck.
01:26:44Swindled!
01:26:47My unicorns!
01:26:50My blender!
01:26:55Mr. Ling.
01:26:57You are reckless.
01:26:59You are insubordinate.
01:27:01And you are fired.
01:27:03Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
01:27:05Hold the phone, Diane!
01:27:07I am so sorry for what this amateur has put you through, Mr. Howard.
01:27:11I'm the client.
01:27:12If anyone's doing any firing around here, it's me.
01:27:16I agree. Wholeheartedly, Brian.
01:27:19Diane.
01:27:21You're fired.
01:27:23Yeah. Yeah, it was your crazy directions that got us into trouble to begin with.
01:27:27But I...
01:27:29We just had the trek of a lifetime.
01:27:31Hell, I actually think these people broke a sweat.
01:27:35And it's all thanks to Mountain Meg here.
01:27:38You can keep the deposit, Diane.
01:27:41As far as I'm concerned,
01:27:43I'm booking my next retreat with this young lady
01:27:46and her mountain man boyfriend.
01:27:51Come on.
01:27:53I mean, it's pretty obvious, folks.
01:27:55I'm a lawyer.
01:27:57I can see the truth in your eyes.
01:28:00Jamie.
01:28:02Get me an Uber.
01:28:04I'll be inside.
01:28:06Hey!
01:28:08Hey!
01:28:10I think you're going to need a little bit of magic for that, Diane.
01:28:13Because you're on your own.
01:28:15I think I'm going to put in my application to a new startup mountain guide company.
01:28:18I just heard about.
01:28:32You have made my blender!
01:28:38Well, folks.
01:28:40Beans are on and the fire's warm.
01:28:48Listen.
01:28:50About my note.
01:28:52I'm sorry. I didn't understand.
01:28:54It's all right.
01:28:56Besides, some of what you said was true.
01:28:58I read your note, too.
01:29:00Did you still mean that part about a place for me in your story?
01:29:08No.
01:29:26Well, you, too, will be happy to know I found some words for my song.
01:29:31I call it The Ballad of Meg and Rye.
01:29:38Rye was a mountain man, honest and true.
01:29:42Put his heart into everything he'd do.
01:29:45Meg was a city girl through and through.
01:29:48Working nine to five was what she'd do.
01:29:51She had a job taking people out to play.
01:29:54Came to the mountains, played with place to stay.
01:29:57They both met on a fateful day.
01:30:08I love you, Meg.
01:30:38I love you, Meg.
