00:00:44So, what do you think of my
00:00:46latest masterpiece Elliot?
00:00:48I know it
00:00:50isn't one of my best
00:00:52but it does remind me of how pretty
00:00:54it was back here.
00:00:56Oh, things are fine
00:00:59but I do miss you Elliot.
00:01:07Good morning.
00:01:08Mr. Eason, you're late. Here's your mail.
00:01:10Any calls?
00:01:12Your mother, twice.
00:01:14Mr. Weller again, he wasn't too thrilled about the fact
00:01:16you never called him back. Anything else?
00:01:18And Mr. Backus is waiting for you.
00:01:22Richard, I know that our bank
00:01:24has been doing business with your father
00:01:26and this company for 50 years
00:01:28but we're
00:01:30concerned about the scope of this project.
00:01:32Everything is going
00:01:34according to plan so far.
00:01:36Well...
00:01:38Richard, the board approved
00:01:40the project with your father at the helm.
00:01:42Since his passing
00:01:44there has been the question of whether I'm up to the task.
00:01:46Your father had decades of experience
00:01:48and that experience is what got this
00:01:50project off the ground. Since my father died
00:01:52we're on schedule to break ground in three
00:01:54weeks with no delays.
00:01:56Mr. Eason, it's your mother
00:01:58Richard.
00:02:00We'll have her call me back.
00:02:02Honey, this is the third time she's called. I mean, she says it's important
00:02:04I think you should take the call.
00:02:06Okay, put her through. This will just take a second.
00:02:08Mom, I'm really busy.
00:02:10I need a favor. This new easel isn't working
00:02:12for me and my old one's up in the garage
00:02:14attic. I can't right now.
00:02:16I'm in the middle of a very important meeting.
00:02:18Okay, I'll just go get it myself.
00:02:20But if I fall,
00:02:22I break my hip.
00:02:24Mom, I'm going to have to call you back.
00:02:26And don't climb up that ladder.
00:02:28Bye.
00:02:52Hello?
00:02:56Hello?
00:02:58Ella Bear, it's Grandma.
00:03:00Hi Grandma, how are you?
00:03:02You won't believe what your father did.
00:03:04My guess is it's more of what he didn't do.
00:03:06I can't paint with this new easel.
00:03:08The one your father bought me.
00:03:10And my old one is way up in the garage
00:03:12attic and he says he's too busy
00:03:14to come get it for his own mother.
00:03:16Yeah, Grandma, I don't know
00:03:18what you want me to do. It would take me a couple of hours
00:03:20to get there.
00:03:24I never expected to be
00:03:26a struggling artist at my age.
00:03:32That was a joke.
00:03:36What's the matter? Are you sure everything's okay?
00:03:38Yeah.
00:03:40How are your classes?
00:03:42They're okay.
00:03:44You're doing well?
00:03:46Yeah, my grades are fine.
00:03:48Are you writing songs down in that book of yours?
00:03:50Sort of.
00:03:52You sound so sad, Ella Bear.
00:03:54Grandma.
00:03:56No, Ella, there's no one keeping you there.
00:03:58You can do whatever you want.
00:04:00The world is open
00:04:02to all of your dreams.
00:04:06Whatever that means, thanks.
00:04:10Bye.
00:04:14Mom?
00:04:18Mom?
00:04:28Mom, I told you not to...
00:04:30Not to climb the ladder.
00:04:32Your father isn't around anymore
00:04:34and you're too busy.
00:04:36So how was I supposed to get my easel?
00:04:38Plus, I found this painting of Annie's Point.
00:04:40That's great. Now get off the ladder before you hurt yourself.
00:04:42No, I still have to get my easel.
00:04:44Get off. Step off. I'll get it.
00:04:46Be careful.
00:04:50Mom, why are you limping?
00:04:52I'm fine.
00:04:54You could have fallen off the ladder.
00:04:56You could have fallen off the ladder and killed yourself.
00:04:58I didn't fall and I'm still on the earth.
00:05:00Now will you please just go up and get my easel?
00:05:04I always meant to finish this one.
00:05:06I know this is a very difficult time
00:05:08for you,
00:05:10but I can't be with you 24 hours a day.
00:05:12I was asking for five minutes.
00:05:14Five minutes?
00:05:16Can't an old woman get any help around the house?
00:05:18How would you feel about getting an apartment
00:05:20or one of those condos down by the lake?
00:05:22This place had praised for much higher than you expected.
00:05:24Your father would never hear of it.
00:05:26Mom, this house is too big for you.
00:05:28It's my home.
00:05:32Well, the yard's a mess.
00:05:34And you left the stove on twice last week.
00:05:36Don't speak to me that way. I'm your mother.
00:05:38I'm trying to be helpful.
00:05:40No, you're not. Your father and I built this house
00:05:42and I want to stay here.
00:05:44This just isn't practical.
00:05:46But I feel comfortable here.
00:05:48Mom.
00:05:50That's enough, Richard.
00:05:52I'm fine and I'm not going anywhere.
00:05:54Now if you have a problem with that,
00:05:56you should take it up with your father.
00:06:12So what do you think, Mom?
00:06:14Nursing school or a songwriting career?
00:06:18Everybody else seems to have an opinion.
00:06:30Here you are.
00:06:34Oh, Louise, you won't believe
00:06:36what I found in the attic.
00:06:38What?
00:06:40You won't believe what I found in the attic.
00:06:42My unfinished painting of Annie's Point.
00:06:44Annie's Point?
00:06:46Oh, that's the place
00:06:48where you and Elliot wanted to build a house.
00:06:50Oh, not just a house.
00:06:52Our dream house.
00:06:54Come on, sweetheart.
00:06:56We never got to it.
00:06:58No.
00:07:02I sat in that hospital room
00:07:04with Elliot for months
00:07:06and then just a few minutes before he passed,
00:07:08he told me his one wish
00:07:10to be set free
00:07:12at Annie's Point
00:07:14on our 50th anniversary.
00:07:16You have an anniversary
00:07:18coming up, don't you?
00:07:20In nine days.
00:07:22What's holding you back?
00:07:26You're thinking
00:07:28of dropping out of college.
00:07:30Do you have
00:07:32some sort of plan that I don't know about?
00:07:34I want to pursue
00:07:36a songwriting career.
00:07:44Ella,
00:07:46you're going to have lots and lots of time
00:07:48for hobbies and stuff like that after you graduate.
00:07:50Right now, you've got to have your degree.
00:07:52Where did this songwriting idea come from, anyway?
00:07:54I never heard you sing a note.
00:07:56Mom did.
00:07:58Oh, I see.
00:08:00Well, trust me, even if your mother was still alive,
00:08:02you would not be doing this.
00:08:04I've already paid the tuition, so please finish out this year.
00:08:06Dad, I can't.
00:08:08Do you have any idea how much it costs for me to send you to this place?
00:08:10Yeah, I do, but you don't know
00:08:12what it's like for me.
00:08:14Oh, come on, Ella. It's school. It's not prison.
00:08:16Dad!
00:08:18I know you're going through some sort of a teenage crisis,
00:08:20but I am not going to let you throw away your future
00:08:22to follow some stupid fantasy.
00:08:24I knew you wouldn't understand.
00:08:26You don't care about my feelings.
00:08:28All you care about is this stupid company.
00:08:30Oh, you don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:32I don't think he'd be there, and you know what?
00:08:34She was right.
00:08:40Okay, good news and bad news.
00:08:42Your echocardiogram showed
00:08:44significant blockage on two of your arteries.
00:08:46I certainly hope that's the bad news.
00:08:48It is.
00:08:50The good news is, with a fairly routine bypass,
00:08:52you'll be as good as new, but...
00:08:54I've never been sick a day in my life.
00:08:56But to be honest,
00:08:58after watching Elliot in that hospital
00:09:00all those months, I never want to set foot in one again.
00:09:02I understand.
00:09:04But this is a serious situation.
00:09:06Without the operation...
00:09:08I could die?
00:09:10Yes, you could die.
00:09:12I need to get you into the hospital as soon as possible.
00:09:14Can I have a day or two
00:09:16before I commit to a surgery thing?
00:09:18Sure.
00:09:20In the meantime, we need to get you
00:09:22going on a new blood pressure medication.
00:09:24It could make you feel a little lightheaded at first,
00:09:26so try to take it easy.
00:09:28Can I drive?
00:09:30I wouldn't recommend it.
00:09:32At least, not for a while.
00:09:34Sorry about that, everybody. What did I miss?
00:09:36I was just telling your mother that...
00:09:38I'll fill him in later. Come on.
00:09:40Okay, Annie.
00:09:42Remember, there's no medication, no driving
00:09:44if you feel lightheaded.
00:09:46Thank you, Doctor.
00:09:48You like that?
00:09:50Yeah.
00:10:10Let's hear it again for Kim Bobletta.
00:10:16And now, please welcome
00:10:18Ella.
00:10:30Sorry.
00:10:56Sorry.
00:10:58Oops.
00:11:06Are you sure Dr. Mulder didn't say anything else?
00:11:08It's just blood pressure medication?
00:11:10That's all.
00:11:12But now that I can't go alone,
00:11:14I need you to make that trip with me.
00:11:16Mom, that's 2,000 miles away.
00:11:18I've got a great car.
00:11:20I can't do this right now, Mom.
00:11:22I told you, there's too much going on at work.
00:11:24As soon as the project is over, I'll take you there myself.
00:11:26It might be too late.
00:11:28Too late for what? Mom, what are you not telling me?
00:11:30Nothing. But with the wedding anniversary coming...
00:11:32Mom, I'll take you to a nice dinner
00:11:34to celebrate your wedding anniversary.
00:11:36Why don't we...
00:11:38Oh, my...
00:11:44Mom.
00:11:46What if I hadn't been here?
00:11:48What would you have done?
00:11:50Okay, that's it. You can't stay here anymore.
00:11:52This is not just for my peace of mind.
00:11:54It's for your safety.
00:11:56What if you got someone to stay with me?
00:11:58For how long? That's really expensive.
00:12:00Your father and I built this house with our bare hands.
00:12:02It's all I've got left.
00:12:04He was my best friend.
00:12:06We did everything together.
00:12:08We were supposed to leave this earth together.
00:12:12Yeah.
00:12:14If I move to that place,
00:12:16will you make me a promise?
00:12:18Anything.
00:12:20You have to take me to Annie's Point, please.
00:12:22Mom, I already told you.
00:12:24I need a promise. I promise.
00:12:26And it has to be all of us. You and me and Ella.
00:12:28Okay. And we have to drive.
00:12:30It'll force you to spend time with Ella.
00:12:32Get to know each other again.
00:12:34Get to be friends again.
00:12:36Mom, whatever you want.
00:12:40I gotta go back to work, okay?
00:12:42Just call me if you need anything.
00:12:44And no stoves, all right?
00:12:48I'll see you.
00:12:52Dad.
00:12:54Oh.
00:12:56I'm sorry.
00:12:58Well, you should not sneak up on me.
00:13:00Dad, I said I was sorry.
00:13:02Yeah, but what I'm telling you is...
00:13:04Dad!
00:13:06It's all right. What do you need, honey?
00:13:10Do you like construction?
00:13:14Uh, sure.
00:13:16Did Grandpa make you work with him?
00:13:18No.
00:13:20He always wanted me to...
00:13:22do whatever made me happy.
00:13:24He did say his door would always be open,
00:13:26and that one day I just walked in.
00:13:28Why?
00:13:30Just asking, I guess.
00:13:34Mom would have been 46 tomorrow.
00:13:38I know.
00:13:44Remember the 40th birthday party we threw for her?
00:13:46The surprise party?
00:13:48Yeah, but she pretended that she didn't.
00:13:52Out of all the places we could have gone,
00:13:54she wanted to come.
00:13:56Roller skating.
00:13:58My knees have never been the same.
00:14:08Dad.
00:14:10I really don't think that I'm making a mistake.
00:14:14Well, to tell you the truth, Ella,
00:14:16I don't know what you're doing.
00:14:18I know I have some talent with my music.
00:14:20I just don't know...
00:14:24Sorry.
00:14:28Hello?
00:14:30Oh, yes, Mr. Backus.
00:14:32No, we've avoided that one, Mr. Nucci.
00:14:34Tomorrow.
00:14:38I'm supposed to bring my mother to her retirement community tomorrow.
00:14:42Mr. Backus, can I call you back?
00:14:44Oh.
00:14:46Okay, bye.
00:14:50Do you want me to go with Grandma to her new place?
00:14:52It's not just the work.
00:14:54Ella, it's...
00:14:58I understand. I'll go with her.
00:15:04I don't know if Richard's gonna keep his promise.
00:15:06Maybe I should just pack the car up
00:15:08and head out to Annie's Point.
00:15:10That's ridiculous, isn't it?
00:15:14I know. I made that promise to him.
00:15:18I'm just not sure how I'm gonna pull it off.
00:15:22Well, we'll talk more about this in the morning.
00:15:30Good night, my love.
00:15:32Good night.
00:15:42You have all your pills?
00:15:44Yes, Richard.
00:15:46I wish I could drive you to the orientation.
00:15:48That's okay.
00:15:50It's just that I canceled on these guys yesterday.
00:15:52I said it's okay.
00:15:54I know this is all happening really fast, but you're gonna like the place.
00:15:56I know you will.
00:15:58And just think, you're gonna be practically neighbors with Louise.
00:16:00Are you gonna be okay to drive?
00:16:02Ella's here. I'll be fine.
00:16:04All right.
00:16:06So I'll stop in later tonight to get you settled.
00:16:16You're a good son.
00:16:18Thanks, Mom.
00:16:30Hey.
00:16:32Make a right here, Grandma.
00:16:48Graham, you were supposed to turn right there.
00:16:52I probably should have told your father.
00:16:54I'm not moving in there today.
00:16:56What are you talking about?
00:16:58I thought about it.
00:17:00I did.
00:17:02But I truly can't remember
00:17:04what Annie's point looked like.
00:17:06And I need to be there for my anniversary.
00:17:10I'm going to California.
00:17:12And I need you to go with me.
00:17:14What?
00:17:16We're going to California.
00:17:18I can't.
00:17:20Give me one good reason why not.
00:17:22My father.
00:17:24Oh, I can handle him.
00:17:26What are you gonna do?
00:17:28Stay here, pay rent,
00:17:30mope around?
00:17:32You want to be a songwriter.
00:17:34You have to have something to write about.
00:17:36It's not that easy.
00:17:38You wouldn't want me to drive there by myself, would you?
00:17:40That's not fair.
00:17:42I'm an old lady.
00:17:44I'd be all alone for 2,000 miles.
00:17:46And all I have is an old map.
00:17:48Grandma.
00:17:50I'm also on this blue medication.
00:17:52I'm not even sure I can drive on my own.
00:17:54Oh, we can get those.
00:17:56I have plenty of cash.
00:17:58And there are always credit cards.
00:18:02Thank you, Ella Bear.
00:18:10Come on, Ella.
00:18:12Let's live a little.
00:18:24Let's live a little.
00:18:54I thought you said you couldn't drive.
00:18:56It's just a little further up this way.
00:19:00Put that book down for a second
00:19:02and grab that small painting behind your seat.
00:19:10We weren't much older than you
00:19:12when Grandpa moved us from California
00:19:14for a job he just couldn't pass up.
00:19:16We didn't have a penny to our name.
00:19:20But we had the world around us.
00:19:22But we had the world in front of us.
00:19:24And those trees.
00:19:26They were like a row of soldiers
00:19:28welcoming us home.
00:19:30What did you leave back in California?
00:19:32Everything.
00:19:34My parents, my baby brother,
00:19:36you name it.
00:19:38What happened with your little brother?
00:19:40We'll have plenty of time for that.
00:19:46If I'm not mistaken,
00:19:48this should be it.
00:19:50This should be it.
00:20:04What happened to the trees?
00:20:06This is it.
00:20:10This is stupid.
00:20:12We can't just barge in on some strangers.
00:20:14It'll be fine.
00:20:16People are nicer than you think.
00:20:18I'll do the talking.
00:20:20Good, because I don't want to be here.
00:20:28Gotcha!
00:20:32Who are you?
00:20:34Is your mother or father home?
00:20:36Mom!
00:20:38Two strange ladies are here!
00:20:42That's a good start.
00:20:44I'm leaving.
00:20:46Can I help you?
00:20:48Hi.
00:20:50My name is Annie Eason.
00:20:52And this is my granddaughter, Ella.
00:20:54Can I help you?
00:20:56I know this is going to sound unusual,
00:20:58but my husband and I built this house
00:21:00years ago.
00:21:02And I was wondering
00:21:04if it would be possible
00:21:06for me to have a look inside.
00:21:08We should be going.
00:21:10Sorry to bother you.
00:21:12You see, we left something
00:21:14for luck.
00:21:16Would it be all right for me to see if it's still there?
00:21:18I don't know.
00:21:20Mrs. Hogan,
00:21:22my granddaughter and I are on a journey
00:21:24across the country,
00:21:26and I have a heart problem.
00:21:28So I figured we could use all the luck
00:21:30we could get.
00:21:32We built the house in 1960.
00:21:34How long have you been living here?
00:21:38Five years.
00:21:40This is July.
00:21:42I hope you don't mind my asking.
00:21:44What happened to those beautiful
00:21:46trees out front?
00:21:48This is how the house came to us.
00:22:00Are you sure you know what you're looking for?
00:22:02I'm sure.
00:22:04Oh, my goodness.
00:22:06What is it?
00:22:08A 1919
00:22:10gold liberty coin
00:22:12given to your grandfather
00:22:14by his father.
00:22:16When we left California,
00:22:18he said,
00:22:20hide it someplace in your first home
00:22:22and it'll bring you a lifetime
00:22:24of happiness.
00:22:26We call it Lucky 19.
00:22:28Just before he passed,
00:22:30your grandfather said he really
00:22:32realized this coin
00:22:34needed to come back to the family.
00:22:36Houses don't need luck.
00:22:38People do.
00:22:46Margaret, I cannot thank you enough
00:22:48for allowing us in your home.
00:22:50It's my pleasure.
00:22:52Hold on a second.
00:23:02I want you to have this.
00:23:06This isn't this house, is it?
00:23:08It sure is.
00:23:10There used to be trees here.
00:23:12It was so beautiful.
00:23:16I can't accept this.
00:23:18Oh, it would mean a great deal to me
00:23:20if you could use some of that money
00:23:22to plant some new trees.
00:23:24I can't.
00:23:26I insist. Thank you again.
00:23:28No, thank you.
00:23:32Oh,
00:23:34there he is again.
00:23:36I'm so sorry. Have a great trip.
00:23:38Sarah,
00:23:40I can't believe you just gave her
00:23:42all that money.
00:23:44Your grandfather would want the house
00:23:46to look like it did when we were younger.
00:23:48Besides,
00:23:50it makes you feel good
00:23:52to do things for other people.
00:23:54Whatever.
00:23:58And what did you mean
00:24:00when you said you had a heart problem?
00:24:02Didn't I tell you?
00:24:06I need bypass surgery.
00:24:08What?
00:24:10Why wouldn't you tell me that?
00:24:12You wouldn't have agreed to come with me
00:24:14if I had.
00:24:16Besides, I feel great.
00:24:30Do you have a boyfriend?
00:24:32No.
00:24:34Have any dates lately?
00:24:36No.
00:24:38In my day, a man would take you to the movies
00:24:40or for a soda.
00:24:42And if he interested you,
00:24:44you'd spend some time together.
00:24:46But after a few months,
00:24:48if he wasn't serious about marriage,
00:24:50you'd move on to a man who was.
00:24:52Kind of sounds like an arranged marriage.
00:24:54In lots of ways it was.
00:24:56Your grandpa asked me to marry him
00:24:58Women didn't have the freedom that you had.
00:25:00Some freedom.
00:25:02I've never been on a second date, let alone a fifth.
00:25:04You are a beautiful, talented young woman.
00:25:06Why not?
00:25:08I'd rather not discuss my love life with my grandma.
00:25:10Doesn't sound like there is a love life.
00:25:12Even more reason to end the discussion.
00:25:14So to answer your question,
00:25:16no, no one is courting me
00:25:18at the moment.
00:25:24Why do you think
00:25:26you don't have a boyfriend?
00:25:28Grandma, please!
00:25:32It's like with my music.
00:25:34I'm in my room and I'm fine.
00:25:36But you get me in front of a crowd
00:25:38and I freeze.
00:25:40Same thing with guys.
00:25:42I get totally terrified when I talk to them.
00:25:44You're just not flirting enough.
00:25:46I don't know how to flirt.
00:25:48Nonsense. Everyone knows how to flirt.
00:25:50Not me.
00:25:53Whatever.
00:26:00Mom?
00:26:22Hello?
00:26:42Hello?
00:26:44Good evening, this is Dr. Mildon's office.
00:26:46Is Annie Eason available?
00:26:48Oh, no, I'm sorry, she's not. This is her son, Richard.
00:26:50Dr. Mildon wanted to make sure
00:26:52that she scheduled her surgery as soon as possible.
00:26:54Surgery?
00:26:56What surgery?
00:26:58Oh, I'm sorry. I thought Dr. Mildon
00:27:00told you that Annie needs heart surgery as soon as possible.
00:27:20I believe in miracles tonight.
00:27:22I think you're an angel,
00:27:24fit to hold me tight.
00:27:26It seems my life's a fairy tale
00:27:28cause it always comes out right.
00:27:30And I believe
00:27:32in miracles
00:27:34tonight.
00:27:38There are people here, Grandma.
00:27:40Oh,
00:27:42come on, girl,
00:27:44live it up.
00:27:46This is so embarrassing. Please sit down.
00:27:48Put down that notebook
00:27:50for five minutes and live a little.
00:27:52This notebook is my life.
00:27:54What are you writing?
00:27:56A song. What else would I be writing?
00:27:58How am I supposed to know?
00:28:00You never let anyone look at that thing.
00:28:02What's the song about?
00:28:04Nothing.
00:28:06Sounds like a hit. May I see it?
00:28:08I'd rather not.
00:28:18These
00:28:20are great.
00:28:22None of them are done yet.
00:28:24How does this one go?
00:28:26I'm not going to sing for you.
00:28:28Then I will
00:28:30when you find that special
00:28:32someone. Okay, okay, okay.
00:28:34If I sing, will you stop embarrassing me?
00:28:36You know I can't promise you
00:28:38that.
00:28:40You sing,
00:28:42I'll stop, okay?
00:28:44No.
00:28:46I can't believe I'm going to do this.
00:28:56Find that someone
00:28:58special.
00:29:00Give him love,
00:29:02make him your own.
00:29:06Stop your search
00:29:08and you will
00:29:10find that your heart
00:29:12has found its
00:29:14home.
00:29:16Hey.
00:29:18Some kind of singer
00:29:20or something? No.
00:29:22Yes she is.
00:29:24Someday you're going to want her autograph.
00:29:26If you ever record that little song
00:29:28of yours, I'll tell you what,
00:29:30I'll buy it.
00:29:34You ladies have a lovely evening.
00:29:40Now those were real men
00:29:42and they really liked your style.
00:29:44And it's
00:29:46good to see you smile.
00:29:54It's my dad.
00:29:56He had to call
00:29:58sometimes.
00:30:00I don't know how to use these things.
00:30:02Press the green button.
00:30:08Hello?
00:30:10Mom? Where are you?
00:30:12I'm not telling.
00:30:14Mom, I talked to
00:30:16Dr. Meldon. I know about the surgery. This is
00:30:18serious. You cannot just pick up and leave.
00:30:20I can and I did. Is
00:30:22Ella with you? She sure is.
00:30:24When are you coming home? We're not.
00:30:26Come on, Mom. Be reasonable. You're sick.
00:30:28I feel fine. Mom, I cannot go chasing
00:30:30all over the country for you. Then don't.
00:30:32I'm sorry I lied to you.
00:30:34I didn't know any
00:30:36other way. Please don't do this.
00:30:38We love you and we'll call you
00:30:40tomorrow. And don't sell my
00:30:42house because I'm not moving.
00:30:46He's going to be mad.
00:30:48He already is.
00:31:08Hello? Yes, yes.
00:31:10Good evening. Um...
00:31:12I need a bit of assistance.
00:31:32I'm getting a little tired.
00:31:34I think I'll let you drive.
00:31:36Let's find an ATM machine.
00:31:38What's your pin?
00:31:40Take a guess.
00:31:4219? 19-19.
00:31:44You got it.
00:31:54You don't have any money.
00:31:56Try it again.
00:32:02Same thing.
00:32:04It must be the machine.
00:32:16What happened?
00:32:18My credit card was declined, too.
00:32:20I just gave him our last
00:32:22$25 for gas.
00:32:24You're kidding, right?
00:32:26No, Ella, I'm not.
00:32:28Great. We have no money to get
00:32:30across country, but that poor family has
00:32:32$500 to buy trees that they're never
00:32:34going to plant. Stop it, Ella.
00:32:38We're in a bit of a pickle, that's all.
00:32:40I'm calling my dad. Save your breath.
00:32:42I'll call him.
00:32:56Mom?
00:32:58Just because you don't agree with me,
00:33:00you don't have to sabotage our trip.
00:33:02Tell me where you are, and I'll reactivate
00:33:04your credit cards. You can't reactivate it.
00:33:06I have to reactivate it.
00:33:08In person, you know that.
00:33:10What was I supposed to do?
00:33:12Honor the dying wish of your father.
00:33:14Mom, I want you to turn around and come back home.
00:33:16To what home?
00:33:18I'm in good company. I'm not coming back.
00:33:20Are you at least taking your medication?
00:33:22If you're so concerned about me,
00:33:24how come you're leaving me penniless?
00:33:26Tell me where you are, and I'll wire you some money.
00:33:28Oh, nice try.
00:33:30Okay, may I please speak with Ella?
00:33:32She's not here.
00:33:34Where is she?
00:33:36She's out getting a gigantic tattoo
00:33:38of a dragon on her back.
00:33:40Ella wouldn't do that.
00:33:42Yes, she would. And I'm getting a skull and crossbones.
00:33:44Mom, are you coming home or not?
00:33:46I'm not.
00:33:48It's lucky for you we're flesh and blood,
00:33:50because what you've done is almost unforgivable.
00:33:52Why did you do that?
00:33:54Because I'm a grown woman
00:33:56who can take care of herself.
00:33:58Now get driving, Ella Bear.
00:34:00We have to make some money.
00:34:02No, my dad is right. You need surgery,
00:34:04and we don't have any money.
00:34:06We have to go back.
00:34:08Elliot, I made you a promise,
00:34:10and nothing is going to stand in the way
00:34:12of my keeping it.
00:34:14You can count on me.
00:34:16You can count on me.
00:34:20Ella, I'm making it
00:34:22to Annie's point, with or without you.
00:34:24If you want to come with me,
00:34:26you're going to have to play by my rules.
00:34:32Would you please pick up?
00:34:34This is important. Just pick up for one sec.
00:34:36Brenda, something's come up,
00:34:38and I have to leave town.
00:34:40I'm going to have both cell phones with me,
00:34:42but don't use the personal number
00:34:44since I forgot it.
00:34:46Honey, I've been here for eight years. I think I've got it.
00:34:48Where are you going?
00:34:50I'm not quite sure, but I need you to do me another favor.
00:34:52Could you find out where the last place that credit card number was used?
00:34:54And you've got to call Backus and Weller
00:34:56and just tell them I can't make today's appointment.
00:34:58You can tell them yourself.
00:35:00I was trying to tell you. They're here early.
00:35:02Listen, I've been here a lot longer than I planned,
00:35:04but I want those contracts on my desk
00:35:06by four.
00:35:08Mr. Backus, Mr. Weller,
00:35:10I am terribly sorry,
00:35:12but we're going to have to postpone today's meeting.
00:35:14Something's come up, and I have to leave town.
00:35:16Would you let me level with you?
00:35:18Eason's line of credit is what we call
00:35:20in the banking industry, guarded.
00:35:22Well, I'll take that into consideration.
00:35:24Now, if you'd like to make a new appointment,
00:35:26you can do that with my assistant.
00:35:28And again, my apologies for the inconvenience.
00:35:32Mr. Eason, are you still going out of town?
00:35:34Absolutely.
00:35:36You going to stay mad at me the entire trip?
00:35:42I can go longer than you can without talking.
00:35:44We'll start right now.
00:35:46No one is talking.
00:35:48Over a thousand miles to go,
00:35:50and no one is talking.
00:35:52Oh, we're smart.
00:35:54We're smart.
00:35:56We're smart.
00:35:58We're smart.
00:36:00We're smart.
00:36:02We're smart.
00:36:04No one is talking.
00:36:06Oh, we're smiling now,
00:36:08but no one is talking.
00:36:10You can go five minutes without talking.
00:36:12And you can't stay mad at me.
00:36:16I'm sorry I raised my voice back there,
00:36:18but this trip is more important to me
00:36:20than I can truly put into words.
00:36:24Do you understand?
00:36:30I'm getting hungry.
00:36:34Park the car.
00:36:36I have an idea.
00:36:52Okay.
00:36:54What's your big idea?
00:36:56I'll take your arm,
00:36:58and you tell them I'm a blind caricature artist.
00:37:00What?
00:37:02No way, that's crazy.
00:37:04Do you want to eat tonight?
00:37:08Okay, watch your step.
00:37:18Hi.
00:37:20Lovely day for a fair, isn't it?
00:37:22Oh, it sure is, sir.
00:37:24Oh, she doesn't see too well.
00:37:26Or really at all.
00:37:28Excuse me.
00:37:30Could I...
00:37:34Oh.
00:37:36From the contours of your face,
00:37:38I'd say you were Irish.
00:37:40That's right.
00:37:42How do you do that?
00:37:44Okay, Grandma.
00:37:46There's no entrance fee for this,
00:37:48but we do request a $5 donation, please.
00:37:50Oh, we're not here to shop.
00:37:52I'm an artist.
00:37:56She does caricatures.
00:37:58She does caricatures.
00:38:02She can't see.
00:38:04But that's the beauty of it.
00:38:28Here you go.
00:38:32Here you go.
00:38:34Thanks.
00:38:36That's amazing.
00:38:38Oh, you don't know the half of it.
00:38:42How many is that?
00:38:44Sixteen.
00:38:46Who's next?
00:38:48Come on.
00:38:50Right here.
00:38:58Come on.
00:39:06Ellenbear,
00:39:08that voice of yours is really something.
00:39:12That was the first time
00:39:14I sang for anybody besides my mom.
00:39:16Have you written any songs for her?
00:39:20Actually, that's what I'm working on right now.
00:39:22Does it help?
00:39:24What?
00:39:26Does it help you, you know,
00:39:28when you're feeling down about her?
00:39:32I don't know.
00:39:34You know what I do
00:39:36when I'm especially blue about Grandpa?
00:39:38I talk to him.
00:39:40Yeah, I heard you.
00:39:42Come on.
00:39:44I'm not embarrassed.
00:39:46Sometimes I talk about normal stuff.
00:39:48My day,
00:39:50my feelings,
00:39:52my feelings.
00:39:56Does it help?
00:39:58Sometimes.
00:40:02Makes me feel like he's still with me.
00:40:10Yes, I'm aware of the fact
00:40:12that they're not technically missing.
00:40:14I have their itinerary with me.
00:40:16Yes, I'm aware of the fact
00:40:18that they're too old to be runaways.
00:40:20We don't have the authority.
00:40:22So what do you suggest we do?
00:40:24Just wait until they break the law or something?
00:40:26Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
00:40:28Okay, thank you.
00:40:30Thank you very much.
00:40:32Same to you.
00:40:34Goodbye.
00:40:38Hey, Brenda.
00:40:40Yes?
00:40:42What did you find out?
00:40:44The car was last used in Missouri.
00:40:46Missouri?
00:40:48What?
00:40:50I said don't forget to eat.
00:40:52Yes, I'll remember to eat something, Brenda.
00:40:54Okay.
00:40:56Because you know what, sweetheart?
00:40:58You were like a toothpick.
00:41:00I like a man with a little bit more meat on his bones.
00:41:02Did you know after all those years of painting,
00:41:04today was the first time
00:41:06I've ever actually sold something?
00:41:08Really?
00:41:10I think we've done quite a bit of living
00:41:12in the last couple of days.
00:41:14How are you feeling?
00:41:16I'm feeling the same as I was
00:41:18when you asked me ten minutes ago.
00:41:20That's why I have these.
00:41:24How did you know
00:41:26Grandpa was the one?
00:41:30He touched my hand.
00:41:32And?
00:41:34Ella Bear,
00:41:36when your grandpa touched my hand for the first time,
00:41:38I had to actually
00:41:40look down to see if it was still there.
00:41:42I knew right then.
00:41:44That's it?
00:41:46And that sounds like something
00:41:48out of a cheesy romance novel.
00:41:50I know it sounds silly.
00:41:52Someday you'll know what I mean.
00:41:58So tell me about your brother.
00:42:00How did we get to that?
00:42:02I don't know.
00:42:04I mean, these are all the things
00:42:06that I don't know about you.
00:42:08There isn't much to tell.
00:42:10Okay, I sang at that truck stop
00:42:12and I showed you my notebook.
00:42:14Now it's time for you to do something
00:42:16that you don't want to do.
00:42:18Well,
00:42:20Doug is almost 20 years younger than I am.
00:42:22And he lives in California.
00:42:24Why don't you talk to him?
00:42:26It's a long story.
00:42:28I wanted to teach him a lesson years ago.
00:42:30I think he got the lesson,
00:42:32but he never forgave me.
00:42:36Have you ever been skinny dipping?
00:42:38No.
00:42:40I keep thinking about that pool
00:42:42by that big country club
00:42:44where we were driving in here.
00:42:46Why don't we chalk up another first
00:42:48while we're on the road?
00:42:50What do you say?
00:42:52No.
00:42:54Why not?
00:42:56Because you're sick.
00:42:58And no offense,
00:43:00but the idea of skinny dipping
00:43:02with my grandma
00:43:04doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun.
00:43:06It actually sounds kind of creepy.
00:43:08Okay.
00:43:20Are you sure you want to do this?
00:43:22You only live once.
00:43:30I don't know if I can make it
00:43:32over the fence.
00:43:34How did you get over there?
00:43:36The gate's open.
00:43:40That works.
00:43:44How's the temperature?
00:43:46Who cares?
00:43:56Oh, it's beautiful in here.
00:44:00You didn't finish your story.
00:44:02Tell me about your brother.
00:44:06Doug was living with us
00:44:08after my folks passed.
00:44:10He didn't deal with their passing
00:44:12all that well.
00:44:14He was a good kid,
00:44:16but for a while there
00:44:18he always seemed to find trouble.
00:44:20One night he got caught shoplifting
00:44:22and they arrested him.
00:44:24I thought he should spend
00:44:26one night in jail
00:44:28before we got him out.
00:44:30I wanted to teach him a lesson.
00:44:32When we finally got him out
00:44:34he was awfully mad at me.
00:44:36We got into a huge fight.
00:44:38He said things I'm sure
00:44:40we both regretted our whole lives.
00:44:42And he packed his bags
00:44:44and moved to California
00:44:46and I never heard from him again.
00:44:48What happened to him?
00:44:50Like I said, he was a good kid.
00:44:52He learned his lesson
00:44:54and just lived his life.
00:44:57Why don't we stop and see him, Doug?
00:45:01I wouldn't know what to say.
00:45:07Oh, poop.
00:45:09Yes, officer.
00:45:11We are always having trespassers.
00:45:13This is not a public pool, you understand?
00:45:15I understand, sir.
00:45:17I'll take care of it.
00:45:19Why, thank you.
00:45:23Well, um...
00:45:25That gentleman there, that's Mr. Langels.
00:45:28Does he live at the country club?
00:45:30Uh, ma'am,
00:45:32this isn't the country club.
00:45:34It's his private residence.
00:45:36Oh, my.
00:45:38Now, my partner here
00:45:40will drive your car behind me,
00:45:42save you a hundred dollar impound fee.
00:45:46Sure.
00:45:50Just come this way.
00:45:56Ah.
00:45:58Okay.
00:46:22Turn the other way.
00:46:26One day, we'll look back on this
00:46:28as our night in jail.
00:46:32Boy, Doug would find this a real hoot.
00:46:34His goody-goody sister in the camp.
00:46:36Grandma, this isn't funny.
00:46:38God, don't you take anything seriously?
00:46:40Oh, we'll be out of here in no time.
00:46:42We don't have money for the fine.
00:46:44We're gonna have to call Dad.
00:46:46I'm sure he'll be joining us sooner
00:46:48rather than later.
00:46:51Uh, you sure there isn't anyone
00:46:53you'd like to call?
00:46:55Uh, in a moment, son.
00:46:57Right now,
00:46:59would you mind pointing me
00:47:01to that bathroom over there?
00:47:03Uh, well, Ms. Eason, um...
00:47:05Oh, go call me Annie.
00:47:07Annie.
00:47:09That's really just for police personnel only.
00:47:11Well, now,
00:47:13you wouldn't want your mother
00:47:15using that, would you?
00:47:17Uh, no.
00:47:19Uh, no, ma'am.
00:47:21Could you find it in your heart
00:47:23to...
00:47:25treat me like your mother?
00:47:27Just this time.
00:47:33What the heck?
00:47:39This way.
00:47:41Where's your partner?
00:47:43Oh, he's out on a call.
00:47:45Well, you be a dear
00:47:47and make sure it's clean.
00:47:49I have a thing about bathrooms.
00:47:51Sure.
00:47:53Uh, yep, looks okay to me there, Annie.
00:47:55Annie.
00:47:57Let's go.
00:47:59Hello, Mildred Eason.
00:48:01It's now or never.
00:48:13Cross another one off
00:48:15my life's to-do list.
00:48:17We're regular Thelma and Louise.
00:48:19We're gonna go to jail.
00:48:21We've already been to jail.
00:48:23No, I mean real jail,
00:48:25where there's gangs and murderers.
00:48:27Don't be silly.
00:48:29We're gonna get caught, Grandma.
00:48:31Relax, Ella Bear.
00:48:33Relax? How am I supposed to relax?
00:48:35You guilted me into going on this trip with you.
00:48:37You lied and told me
00:48:39you needed some kind of heart surgery,
00:48:41and then you broke us out of jail.
00:48:43You don't need me on this trip with you.
00:48:45You just need a chauffeur.
00:48:47That's not true.
00:48:49Oh, yeah? Well, that's how I see it.
00:48:51You're going through a very hard time,
00:48:53and it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel,
00:48:55but trust me, trust yourself.
00:48:57It will be there.
00:48:59And as far as needing a chauffeur,
00:49:01I don't need a chauffeur.
00:49:03I need a best friend,
00:49:05and she happens to be sitting right here next to me.
00:49:07Oh, come on.
00:49:13Now tell me that didn't feel good.
00:49:15That didn't feel good.
00:49:19Okay, it felt kind of good.
00:49:23Just make that the last thing we cross off the list.
00:49:27Deal.
00:49:37I drove just about all night.
00:49:39Sweetheart, where are you?
00:49:41I'm near Colorado.
00:49:43Listen, I'm going to send you this e-mail right now.
00:49:45I hope it helps.
00:49:47Brenda, I know. I know that the project is in jeopardy.
00:49:49You're just going to have to stall them as best you can, all right?
00:49:51Okay, I'm going to send this to you.
00:49:53Fine.
00:49:55Okay, bye.
00:49:57Okay, bye.
00:50:07Excuse me.
00:50:11Um, where are we?
00:50:13Arizona,
00:50:15about 40 miles from Nevada.
00:50:19You're welcome.
00:50:25What?
00:50:27What you just did.
00:50:29It's called flirting.
00:50:31Oh, it isn't.
00:50:35Stop it.
00:50:37You should be proud of yourself.
00:50:39Oh,
00:50:41only two left.
00:50:43Well, okay,
00:50:45we need to get you some more pills
00:50:47and some good rest.
00:50:49I'll have all the rest
00:50:51I need before long.
00:50:53Okay, you know what?
00:50:55I'm going to call my dad.
00:50:57The least he can do is wire us some money.
00:50:59Ella.
00:51:01I'm going to call him.
00:51:03What are you looking for?
00:51:05My phone.
00:51:07I left it
00:51:09on that policeman's desk.
00:51:11Oh, boy.
00:51:17Hello?
00:51:19Who's this?
00:51:21Uh, this is the police in Rand Junction.
00:51:23Who's this?
00:51:25This is Richard Eason.
00:51:27Is everything all right?
00:51:29You wouldn't know Annie and Ella Eason, would you?
00:51:31Yes, that's my mother and my daughter.
00:51:33Are they all right?
00:51:35I'm done.
00:51:37Why don't I tell you where I'm at
00:51:39and we can talk in person?
00:51:41You're not from here, are you?
00:51:43It's the clubs, isn't it?
00:51:45Your car has Illinois license plates.
00:51:47I saw you drive up.
00:51:53How long are you and your mom in town for?
00:51:55That's my grandmother.
00:51:57We're just passing through.
00:51:59I'm sorry.
00:52:01I didn't even introduce myself.
00:52:03I'm Scott Tardy.
00:52:05Ella Eason.
00:52:07Very nice to meet you, Ella.
00:52:09Me, too.
00:52:11If you're staying in town
00:52:13and if you and your grandmother
00:52:15want something different to do,
00:52:17it's open mic night tonight.
00:52:19It's pretty popular.
00:52:21Okay, I'll ask her.
00:52:23Ask me what?
00:52:25I thought maybe we could come back later
00:52:27for some coffee.
00:52:29I'm sorry, Scott.
00:52:31I told Ella it's open mic night
00:52:33and we get some pretty good singers.
00:52:35Ella has the voice of an angel.
00:52:37You didn't tell me you could sing.
00:52:39I'm not surprised.
00:52:41Would you sing for us tonight?
00:52:43She'd love to.
00:52:45Great. I'll see you tonight.
00:52:47What did you do that for?
00:52:49You have to sing sometime.
00:52:53He is so cute.
00:52:55And you thought
00:52:57you didn't know how to flirt.
00:52:59Come on.
00:53:05Listen, I can't apologize
00:53:07enough for this.
00:53:09It's all right. Turns out
00:53:11the charges were dropped.
00:53:13They were?
00:53:15Well, it seems that Mr. Langlose
00:53:17was a little taken with your mother.
00:53:19She was skinny dipping, you know.
00:53:21I mean, of course,
00:53:23I was fixing to let him go
00:53:25before they escaped,
00:53:27but I just assumed keep this
00:53:29between us?
00:53:31Well, I'd appreciate that, too.
00:53:33Thanks very much.
00:53:35Safe trip.
00:53:39Brenda, did you get
00:53:41the e-mail I sent?
00:53:43Yes.
00:53:45And you passed the schedule and figures on
00:53:47to Bacchus, Weller, and Nucci?
00:53:49Yeah.
00:53:51Okay, then.
00:53:53I don't know what else I can do for them.
00:53:55Okay.
00:53:57Now I have to track down my delinquent mother and daughter.
00:53:59Don't forget to eat.
00:54:01Talk to you later.
00:54:11Now it's just so hard
00:54:13to feel
00:54:15to open
00:54:17up again
00:54:19when it all
00:54:21seems so real.
00:54:23Evening, ladies.
00:54:25You both look lovely tonight.
00:54:31I saved your table just in case.
00:54:35The coffee's on me.
00:54:37Elle, you go on
00:54:39in 20 minutes.
00:54:41I can't wait to hear you sing.
00:54:43Me either. Me either.
00:54:47Somebody
00:54:49has a crush on you.
00:54:51Yeah, well, he won't after I vomit
00:54:53all over his stage.
00:54:55You're gonna be great.
00:55:13First of all, I'd like to thank you all
00:55:15for coming down here tonight.
00:55:17We have a treat for you.
00:55:19You remember what I told you about how I talked
00:55:21to Grandpa?
00:55:23Now close your eyes.
00:55:25Go sing this for your mama.
00:55:27Please welcome Elle.
00:55:45I'm sorry.
00:55:49It's okay.
00:55:53This is
00:55:55for my mom,
00:55:57who I haven't seen in a really long time.
00:56:19Mmm.
00:56:35When you find
00:56:37that someone special
00:56:41giving love, making
00:56:43your own
00:56:46Stop your search
00:56:48and you will find
00:56:50that your heart
00:56:52has found its home
00:56:56You'll be in my dreams
00:56:58forever
00:57:00Could I please
00:57:02borrow your phone?
00:57:04Sure thing.
00:57:06And the things
00:57:08you taught me
00:57:10are the gifts
00:57:12that I'll treasure
00:57:14Richard?
00:57:16Mom?
00:57:18Listen.
00:57:20Hello?
00:57:22Who is this?
00:57:24Hello? Mom?
00:57:26Hello?
00:57:44Where any
00:57:46eagles float
00:57:48And until
00:57:50I see you
00:57:52once again
00:57:54I'll be flying
00:57:56on my
00:57:58own
00:58:14Applause
00:58:30All that time
00:58:32and you just
00:58:34blew me away. Oh, your mother
00:58:36would be so proud.
00:58:38That was tremendous.
00:58:40Oh, my purse. I'll be right back.
00:58:46Can I ask
00:58:48where you're going?
00:58:50Very important place on the California coast.
00:58:52What's it called?
00:58:54I don't know the real name
00:58:56but my grandpa
00:58:58named it Annie's Point
00:59:00after my grandma.
00:59:02Is your grandfather gonna be there?
00:59:06I guess you could say that.
00:59:12It was
00:59:14an absolute pleasure meeting you
00:59:16Alyson. Me too.
00:59:34I wish you luck
00:59:36but I don't think you're gonna need it.
00:59:38With what?
00:59:40Just promise
00:59:42you'll send me a copy of your first today.
00:59:44I promise.
00:59:52That was true beauty
00:59:54in there. Thank you.
00:59:56Oh, no.
00:59:58Thank you. I couldn't have
01:00:00done it without you.
01:00:02I only wish Mom was here.
01:00:04Well, who knows? Maybe she was.
01:00:06I do know your father was.
01:00:08What are you talking about?
01:00:10I finally figured out how to use
01:00:12a cell phone.
01:00:14He heard every note.
01:00:24We've been in Nevada for about an hour.
01:00:26There's not much to it.
01:00:28There will be.
01:00:30What do you mean?
01:00:32You'll see.
01:00:38Wow.
01:00:40This is amazing.
01:00:42It sure is.
01:00:44It's changed quite a bit
01:00:46since your grandpa and I were here.
01:00:48We'll pull in here.
01:00:50Are you sure?
01:00:52Positive.
01:01:02Okay, I'll call Dad.
01:01:04Not yet. I feel lucky.
01:01:06You want to gamble?
01:01:08I'd rather do that than give in to your father.
01:01:10Gramp, we don't have any money
01:01:12and I think we're probably wanted
01:01:14fugitives and
01:01:16you're almost out of medication.
01:01:18What do you suggest we do?
01:01:20No.
01:01:22Grandpa's father
01:01:24gave it to him to bring him luck
01:01:26when he needed it most.
01:01:28But it's your lucky coin.
01:01:30Exactly. No, that's crazy.
01:01:32It's the least crazy thing
01:01:34I can think of.
01:01:40Here it is, down here.
01:01:4224.
01:02:02No more breaths.
01:02:0824.
01:02:12We have to go again.
01:02:14Lucky 19.
01:02:26No more bets.
01:02:3028.
01:02:4229.
01:02:5613. Black on.
01:03:0425.
01:03:08Sorry, 25.
01:03:1226.
01:03:1826.
01:03:26Place your bets.
01:03:32Okay, this is it, Grandma.
01:03:34As they say,
01:03:36here goes nothing.
01:03:3822.
01:03:40No more bets.
01:03:4819.
01:04:00Okay, I am
01:04:02going to go get the coin back from Poncha.
01:04:04I'm still feeling lucky.
01:04:06Okay.
01:04:18Are you okay, ma'am?
01:04:20Oh, fine.
01:04:22Just a little excited.
01:04:28Um, last name?
01:04:30Gordon?
01:04:32First name, Douglas.
01:04:34Number?
01:04:36805-555-0083.
01:04:54Mom?
01:04:56Hi, Richard.
01:04:58Are you all right?
01:05:00We're fine.
01:05:02Don't worry about it.
01:05:04I've already been to that little police station in Kansas.
01:05:06It's been taken care of.
01:05:10Where are you?
01:05:12I'm getting closer.
01:05:14How are you feeling?
01:05:16Oh, I'm fine.
01:05:18I just got some more of my medication.
01:05:20You didn't sell my house, did you?
01:05:22No, not yet.
01:05:24Why don't you tell me where you are
01:05:26so I can wire you some money, just in case?
01:05:28We don't need money.
01:05:30I assume you know where that is.
01:05:32Mom.
01:05:34See you there.
01:05:36Mom?
01:05:48I know that you have this trip perfectly planned out,
01:05:50but we're going on a little detour.
01:05:52The last time that happened,
01:05:54your father took me to that retirement village.
01:05:56Where are we going?
01:05:58I think you should see.
01:06:24It's a nice house.
01:06:26It sure is.
01:06:30It's your brother's house.
01:06:40I can't.
01:06:42I'm sure he'll be happy to see you.
01:06:52Did you ever think that you might owe it to him?
01:06:56No.
01:07:02Don't be nervous.
01:07:04Oh, that's easy for you to say.
01:07:10May I help you?
01:07:14Annie?
01:07:18Hi, Dougie.
01:07:22This is my granddaughter.
01:07:24She'll be your great niece, Ella.
01:07:26It's nice to meet you.
01:07:28It's really nice to meet you, too.
01:07:36Who is this, Dad?
01:07:38Well, this is your Aunt Annie,
01:07:40and this is your cousin Ella.
01:07:42Annie.
01:07:44Ella.
01:07:46This is my daughter, Lucy.
01:07:54Thanks for dinner.
01:07:56Oh, you're welcome. It wasn't much.
01:08:00Lucy's beautiful.
01:08:02Well, she gets that from her mother.
01:08:04I'm sorry she's out of town.
01:08:06She would have loved to meet you.
01:08:08I'm sorry, too.
01:08:14Elliot?
01:08:20He fought so hard
01:08:22for so long.
01:08:26He went peacefully.
01:08:30He was a good man.
01:08:34Very good man.
01:08:38Our son, Richard,
01:08:40took over Elliot's construction company.
01:08:42Oh, good for him.
01:08:44That's good.
01:08:46Annie,
01:08:48Annie,
01:08:50I picked up the phone
01:08:52to call you a thousand times,
01:08:54but as each year went by,
01:08:56it just got more and more difficult
01:08:58to know what to say.
01:09:00But don't blame yourself.
01:09:02I have a phone, too.
01:09:04I never should have tried to teach you
01:09:06that lesson, Doug.
01:09:08And for that, I've never forgiven myself.
01:09:10I'd be lying if I told you
01:09:12the price wasn't high not seeing you
01:09:14and Elliot and Richard.
01:09:16You know, it made me who I am today.
01:09:18I work with kids
01:09:20trying to help them find direction in their lives,
01:09:22and I never would have been able
01:09:24to do that without you, Annie.
01:09:26I never doubted you'd make a success of yourself,
01:09:28Doug.
01:09:32I miss you.
01:09:36Miss you, too.
01:09:38Miss you, too.
01:09:44So what happened at the call?
01:09:46Nothing.
01:09:48My dad met with him, and he dropped all the charges.
01:09:50He was so embarrassed that an older woman
01:09:52locked him in his own cell.
01:09:54He's not going to tell anybody anything.
01:09:56So how long have you and Annie been driving?
01:09:58About three days.
01:10:00Who would think it'd be fun
01:10:02to drive across country with your grandma?
01:10:04Well, I gotta tell you,
01:10:06if Annie and I first got in the car,
01:10:08I would have rather been anywhere else.
01:10:10I mean, I never thought that my grandma
01:10:12could understand anything
01:10:14that was going on in my world.
01:10:16And?
01:10:18She taught me more in a few days
01:10:20than I ever would have learned at school.
01:10:22You're in college?
01:10:24I was.
01:10:26Well, what happened?
01:10:28I left.
01:10:30So you just quit?
01:10:32Well, and my music
01:10:34never would have had a chance if I didn't.
01:10:38What do you want to be?
01:10:40A writer.
01:10:42Well, that's awesome.
01:10:44It would be awesome to actually have a book published.
01:10:46A wise woman once told me
01:10:48that the world is open
01:10:50to all of our dreams.
01:10:52And what if they're just dreams?
01:10:54Well, you won't know
01:10:56until you try.
01:10:58You gotta do what makes you happy.
01:11:04Mary had a little lamb...
01:11:28Here's some water, Annie.
01:11:30Oh.
01:11:36Those are some big pills.
01:11:38What are those for?
01:11:40I'm just getting old.
01:11:42Are you all right?
01:11:44Oh, I'm fine.
01:11:46It's been a long journey.
01:11:48Nothing a good night's sleep
01:11:50in a comfortable bed won't fix.
01:11:52Oh, it's really good
01:11:54to see you done.
01:11:56Same here.
01:11:58Now, you sure you're all right?
01:12:00Oh, I'm fine.
01:12:02Fine.
01:12:04Good night, Annie.
01:12:16Do you need anything else?
01:12:18Oh, we're fine. Thank you.
01:12:24Bye, Annie.
01:12:26So let's not let
01:12:28another 30 years go by, okay?
01:12:30Okay.
01:12:32I'll talk to you soon.
01:12:38Wait, Annie.
01:12:42I just...
01:12:44I wish so much
01:12:46that I could have talked to Elliot
01:12:48one last time.
01:12:50I'm so sorry I didn't.
01:12:52But mostly, I'm sorry
01:12:54that I wasn't there for you.
01:12:56So even if we haven't spoken,
01:12:58you were always there with me.
01:13:02Hey,
01:13:04happy 50th anniversary.
01:13:12Have a nice trip. Come back, okay?
01:13:16I'm proud of you, Doug.
01:13:18Elliot would be too.
01:13:28Bye.
01:13:58Grandma, I think we need to get you
01:14:00out of this car for a while.
01:14:02No.
01:14:04But you look really uncomfortable.
01:14:06Ella Bear, in less than two hours,
01:14:08I'll have more energy
01:14:10than I'll know what to do with.
01:14:12Trust me.
01:14:28Hey.
01:14:44Hey.
01:14:46Hey.
01:14:54It's more beautiful than I remember.
01:15:02It hasn't changed one bit.
01:15:08It's as though
01:15:10we were here yesterday.
01:15:12Oh, your grandfather
01:15:14looked so handsome.
01:15:44piano plays softly
01:16:14I'm ready
01:16:16to take Grandpa home now.
01:16:22Brenda?
01:16:24You got the three wise men on the phone?
01:16:26Uh-huh.
01:16:28Great. Put them through.
01:16:30Okay.
01:16:32Gentlemen.
01:16:34Hello, Richard.
01:16:36Are we all together?
01:16:38Yes, we're all here.
01:16:40Good.
01:16:42Gentlemen, what I do not appreciate
01:16:44is being talked to and treated like an amateur.
01:16:46My father put all three of you on the map
01:16:48and your companies without ever letting you down,
01:16:50and I won't either.
01:16:52But right now, my family needs me,
01:16:54and I refuse to let them down.
01:16:56So I will contact you when I get back to town,
01:16:58and when that happens, I will fulfill
01:17:00all of my obligations as I expect you
01:17:02to fulfill all of yours.
01:17:04We understand each other?
01:17:06Excellent. Have a nice day.
01:17:12music plays
01:17:32Are you sure this is it?
01:17:34I'm sure.
01:17:42music plays
01:17:56Is it how you remembered?
01:17:58It's beautiful.
01:18:12Well, now I can see what the fuss was all about.
01:18:16Hey.
01:18:22Hi, Daddy.
01:18:24Hi, honey.
01:18:26Thank you, Richard.
01:18:28I'm sorry you felt you had to chase me
01:18:30clear across country,
01:18:32but coming here was very important to me.
01:18:34When I started this journey,
01:18:36I honestly believed
01:18:38I'd soon be joining your father.
01:18:40I guess what I'm trying to say is
01:18:42I'm sorry I made life so difficult.
01:18:44You were just looking for support.
01:18:46No, I was being selfish.
01:18:48You were the one doing your best to help.
01:18:52But now that I'm here,
01:18:54I feel reborn.
01:18:58And I owe a lot of that to Ella.
01:19:02She's just like her mother.
01:19:04Well, and she's also just like her father.
01:19:06You're a good dad, Richard.
01:19:10Your father would be proud of you.
01:19:12Your father would be proud of you.
01:19:14Oh.
01:19:40Oh.
01:19:42Yeah.
01:19:44Dad told me about this.
01:19:46He wanted you to have it.
01:19:48Thanks.
01:19:56I'll only be a minute.
01:20:12Oh.
01:20:16Oh, Elliot, we made it.
01:20:18And on time.
01:20:22Wasn't able to finish the picture, Elliot.
01:20:24I was afraid I forgot
01:20:26what the place looks like.
01:20:28But it's the same, isn't it?
