00:00:00James
00:00:04This ain't gonna be easy
00:00:06Yep. Yep. Yep
00:00:08You sure you're okay
00:00:11No, I'm not. Okay
00:00:13Me neither
00:00:30♪♪♪
00:00:52♪♪♪
00:01:16Here he is, Lord. Charlie Baxter
00:01:2084 years
00:01:39Good to see ya
00:01:41Hi
00:01:43Hi
00:01:50Like I said, Lord
00:01:52Here's Charlie Baxter
00:01:5484 years he believed in you
00:01:57But more than that, he figured you believed in him
00:02:00He lived his life accordingly
00:02:03Generous to his friends
00:02:05Strangers, too, for that matter
00:02:08A loving man
00:02:10A forgiving man
00:02:15Well
00:02:19Charlie lived in a simpler time
00:02:21The world wasn't so bent on going to heck
00:02:24He was a lucky man
00:02:28Amos?
00:02:32You folks might not believe it
00:02:35I've nothing to say
00:02:37He said it all when he was here, I reckon
00:02:40Say the amens, Brother Jordan
00:02:43In your name we pray, Heavenly Father
00:02:46For the eternal peace of Charlie Baxter
00:02:50He's simple cowboy
00:02:52Amen
00:02:54Amen
00:02:57Well
00:03:00Yeah
00:03:17Hello, Mama
00:03:19It's been a while
00:03:21Hey
00:03:27Girl, don't go there again
00:03:29Just let go of it
00:03:35It's good to see you again, Jake
00:03:38You, too
00:03:44You know what? Once or twice in life
00:03:47If you're real lucky
00:03:49You get to do something bigger and braver than you think you can
00:03:53This may be one of them times I expect
00:04:10Well, when life hands you lemons
00:04:12I always say make lemonade
00:04:14A little shot of tequila now and then
00:04:16Never hurt either with or without
00:04:19God, I'm ashamed to say I've missed your lemonade
00:04:22Well, that's one thing to miss
00:04:24That's yours on the end there, John William
00:04:26No tequila, no sugar, just plum sour
00:04:28Just like your granddaddy dying to get her home
00:04:33I'm doing something different with my life
00:04:35This way of life's never done anything
00:04:37But put people in their graves way ahead of time
00:04:40Your granddaddy's scared the heck out of a whole century
00:04:44I was thinking more of Mama
00:04:49I'm sorry
00:04:56You ever notice how hard it is to impress a fella
00:04:58That owns this many acres of genuine Texas cow patties?
00:05:03Davis, I have missed you
00:05:06Right back at you, Jake
00:05:11We sure have spent a big part of our lives out here on this porch
00:05:15Some of the best parts, anyway
00:05:18Like old Charlie says
00:05:20Used to say
00:05:22The best parts of life are the little ones all added up
00:05:29Look here
00:05:32Worked four up
00:05:34Just like I used to
00:05:44Mama
00:05:46Grandpa
00:05:50Why don't you just drag me behind the car like a new rope?
00:05:53Don't go flying off the handle like that, Will
00:05:56This is Charles Bankston's last will and testament
00:06:00And we're obliged to honor it
00:06:02Besides, the witness that signed off on it's sitting right there
00:06:05Jump on Amos
00:06:06I imagine he did more than witness it
00:06:08Conspires more than like it
00:06:10Like it or not, Will
00:06:12Charlie left his interest to the Dry Creek Ranch
00:06:15To Jacqueline Cooper
00:06:17Jake, Will, you retain your late wife's holdings
00:06:20It all stays in the family
00:06:22Family
00:06:23Took somebody dying to get the girl to set foot back on the place
00:06:27How can I partner up with her when she won't even speak to me?
00:06:30Will, it was Charlie's idea of a joint venture
00:06:34No, Otis, it was Charlie's idea of having the last word
00:06:37And you darn well know it
00:06:40What are you laughing at?
00:06:42I could draw up a buy-sell agreement
00:06:45Why don't you just buy out Jake's interest?
00:06:47Disgruntled partners do it all the time
00:06:50How about you, Jake?
00:06:52Just buy your daddy out
00:06:54I could draw up the paperwork
00:06:55Now you hold on one minute, Otis
00:06:57This ain't no business partnership
00:06:59It's a family
00:07:00Not so you notice
00:07:01Would you stop talking about me like I'm not even here?
00:07:04Habit, I guess
00:07:06It's not for me to tell you how to work this out, Will, Jake
00:07:11But I can tell you this much
00:07:13Aside from whatever else you owe
00:07:16You've got one heck of an inheritance tax breathing down your neck
00:07:21If you folks can't work together, then that's the end of Dry Creek
00:07:29I believe I'll have that special lemonade now, Amos
00:07:32I believe I'll join you
00:07:37Yeah
00:07:48You know, Will, it really isn't all that hard
00:07:51I don't want them hard
00:07:53It affects them the way it always did
00:07:55Not the eggs
00:07:56Life, John William
00:07:58You just go down that hall and you wake your daughter up
00:08:00And you tell her
00:08:02And you tell her that you want to talk
00:08:05And you sit down on the edge of the bed
00:08:07And you just tell her your side of this
00:08:09And then you shut your mouth while she tells you her side
00:08:12You know, try little things, you know
00:08:14Like let her finish a sentence
00:08:16Just go in there and for once
00:08:18Try to act like you don't think
00:08:21Things always have to be your way or the highway
00:08:36Amos says breakfast is on the table getting cold
00:08:40You coming?
00:09:06John William
00:09:08Old Charlie didn't set this deal up
00:09:10To provoke another family fight
00:09:12He was hoping for a family reconciliation
00:09:16That's gonna take the two of you
00:09:18Come on, call her
00:09:19I don't know how to use that thing
00:09:21Well, it ain't that hard
00:09:22Just punch in the number
00:09:24I don't know her number
00:09:26Well, if you ain't gonna call the girl
00:09:28Maybe you better put your thinking cap on
00:09:30Go on, call her
00:09:32You know, maybe you better put your thinking cap on
00:09:35Cause this time the bank may not let you
00:09:37Roll your note over and play dead
00:09:39They haven't had a problem with it a dozen years, Amos
00:09:41Why should they now?
00:09:43Maybe you don't owe the bank enough money
00:09:47Maybe that's the problem
00:09:49You just need to go down to the bank
00:09:51And convince them that they made a terrible mistake
00:09:54By loaning you the money in the first place
00:09:56You certainly have a strange point of view, Amos
00:09:58Yeah, well, when you ain't the lead dog
00:10:00I got the point of view you get
00:10:02Amos will work on my headaches
00:10:04But this liniment's not doing a bit of good
00:10:06For this old horse's leg
00:10:08I told you I can stop them headaches
00:10:10And I don't need no liniment
00:10:12That's funny coming from you
00:10:14You are the headache most of the time
00:10:16If you'd only just...
00:10:17Look, Amos
00:10:18She quit on me twice
00:10:20First time eight years ago
00:10:22Second time two weeks ago
00:10:24I'm not calling her
00:10:26And I'm not letting you do my banking
00:10:30There's not gonna be any foot rolling, so deal with it
00:10:40Relax, Amos
00:10:41Bill collectors don't drive fancy cars like that
00:10:44California license plate
00:10:48I believe the girl has come home
00:10:50Why would she be driving a car like that?
00:10:54I told you
00:10:56I knew it, I knew it
00:10:59Did you have to go back and gather up your stuff, huh?
00:11:14His name's Billy
00:11:24Come on
00:11:32You're coming, you're going
00:11:34What's going on, girl?
00:11:36You waltz out of here
00:11:37While they're still shoveling dirt on your mama's grave
00:11:40And you waltz back in eight years later
00:11:42Like nothing ever happened
00:11:44Only something did happen, didn't it?
00:11:46Yep, you're right
00:11:47Billy
00:11:48Charles William Cooper happened
00:11:50Where's the father?
00:11:53You know
00:11:54Nothing I ever said then ever mattered
00:11:56Nothing I'm gonna say now is gonna matter
00:11:58So the way I see it
00:12:00It doesn't really matter, does it?
00:12:02All right, let's just get this over with, then
00:12:04The land's worth little or nothing after five years of drought and taxes
00:12:08The taxes have gone sky high
00:12:11How's 5,000?
00:12:13Earnest money
00:12:14Why don't we dicker the details?
00:12:16How about 50?
00:12:18Thousand, that is
00:12:20Earnest money
00:12:2190 days till closing
00:12:22Water, mineral rights
00:12:24Seller, that's you
00:12:26Pays for the environmental study
00:12:28Here's my check for 50,000
00:12:31It's good, don't worry
00:12:32You can call the bank
00:12:36Where'd you get this kind of money?
00:12:38How the heck are you gonna get the rest?
00:12:40Same way I got this
00:12:42Worked my back off for it
00:12:46Hope you've got some tape
00:12:48You're gonna need it
00:12:49Hi
00:12:50Oh, hey, Bug

00:13:17Good to know you
00:13:21Get him out of the brush back there
00:13:23I don't need any educated guesses
00:13:25I need an accurate count

00:13:29And Gabe and I...

00:13:38Where you going, Will?
00:13:40Them boys can do the count
00:13:42You and me supposed to go up...
00:13:43Get your co-conspirator to help you out
00:13:45See if she's got it in her
00:13:51It's Morgan!
00:13:53And Lucky!
00:13:54They're here!

00:14:06How you doing?
00:14:07Hey!
00:14:08Hey, how'd we do?
00:14:10You're half a day early
00:14:11Yeah, I know
00:14:12How'd Lucky do?
00:14:13Oh, he did just fine
00:14:14He got all the rest he needed
00:14:15He's got a lot of work to do
00:14:16He's got a lot of work to do
00:14:17He's got a lot of work to do
00:14:18Oh, he did just fine
00:14:19He got all the rest he needed
00:14:20Hardly any traffic once we got east of Tucson
00:14:22Oh, great!
00:14:25Hey, buddy!
00:14:27Easy
00:14:32That's it
00:14:34That's it
00:14:35That's good
00:14:39Second stone on the right
00:14:40I've been working on it all morning
00:14:42I helped!
00:14:43Yes, you did
00:14:44Sure you did, Billy
00:14:45Hey, how you doing?
00:14:48Good
00:14:54Like I always told you, Will
00:14:57There's a whole lot more to that girl than you've been willing to see
00:15:02I've got a feeling
00:15:04Things are gonna get real interesting around here
00:15:12Hey, Grandpa!
00:15:13Maybe Mama will let you ride Lucky
00:15:16We'll see, Billy
00:15:34Take it
00:15:35Seems like every time prices are down, we're between a rock and a hard place
00:15:39We've been beat up in the last three auctions
00:15:42Well, look at it like this, Will
00:15:43We ain't the only ones taking a beating
00:15:45Half the brands in the hill country are milling around out here
00:15:48Yeah, that's true
00:15:49Come on, boy
00:15:50Here you go
00:15:52Half those people are selling off land as fast as they're selling off cattle
00:15:56Sell a thousand acres and save a thousand
00:15:59Here you go
00:16:01Now, let's cover our feed bill
00:16:04For the last month
00:16:06Time's always changing, Will
00:16:08Yeah, not on Dry Creek, by golly
00:16:11You said anything to Jake?
00:16:13Said anything to Jake about what?
00:16:16Oh, Jake
00:16:17You know, ranching stuff, heifer stuff, bull stuff
00:16:20We ain't got no money stuff
00:16:22What are you talking about?
00:16:25Amos
00:16:27Just how bad is it?
00:16:31What, nobody's gonna answer my question?
00:16:34Grandpa Charlie was a heck of a cowboy
00:16:36Just wasn't much of a businessman
00:16:38And you are
00:16:39We're starting to work it out
00:16:41You know, it's a little late to start working this out, don't you think?
00:16:45Things didn't go to heck when Grandpa died
00:16:47They went to heck when you were out on the rodeo circuit six months out of every year
00:16:50Did it ever occur to you that the rodeo winnings is what kept the Dry Creek afloat through the drought years?
00:16:55You don't think I was out there riding bulls and broncs for belt buckles, do you?
00:16:59I know what you're thinking
00:17:01Prodigal son returns home, try to take over
00:17:04Somebody sure as heck has to
00:17:07You know something, I wish to gosh you were the prodigal son returning
00:17:10I'd knock you on the ground right now
00:17:13I wish to gosh I was the prodigal son too
00:17:15Because I would have knocked you on the ground eight years ago when you unplugged my mama
00:17:23Let's go, Billy
00:17:41How did I get so lucky to have to find you?
00:17:44I guess you found me, huh, boy?
00:17:47That's the way it should be
00:17:49Show your mama
00:17:55There you go, spoiling him
00:17:57Worth spoiling
00:17:59Lookie, Mama
00:18:00That's great, Billy
00:18:05That is one fine looking piece of horse flesh
00:18:08What are you going to do with it?
00:18:10Oh, it's what I've already done with him, Amos
00:18:12He's fast, he's a winner
00:18:14Is that so?
00:18:16Believe it or not, we were building up quite a reputation out on the west coast
00:18:20Lucky running, me training
00:18:23My plan was to use my winnings to set up a training facility with a rehab center for injured horses
00:18:28I was this close
00:18:30So why'd you walk away from that and come back to the hill country?
00:18:33I truly wish I could tell you, Amos, but I don't know myself
00:18:37Oh, sure you do
00:18:41Billy, you all right?
00:18:47Where did you get this buckle?
00:19:07Come here
00:19:22Here, Mama
00:19:24I never want you to come in here again, you understand?
00:19:27This isn't our stuff
00:19:33Come here
00:19:36I'm not mad at you
00:19:39Okay? I just want you to understand that this stuff doesn't belong to us
00:19:43It's his
00:19:45It belongs to Grandpa?
00:19:47Yeah
00:19:49These things are very important to him
00:19:51They're his
00:19:56Sorry, Mama, I thought they were yours, too
00:20:05Come on
00:20:10Come on, let's go
00:20:25It's wildfire whiskey by a half-feet as they come into the stretch
00:20:29Cover that drain
00:20:31Come on, Lucky
00:20:33Yeah, that's our horse
00:20:35Go, Lucky
00:20:39Go, Lucky, go
00:20:41Go, baby, Lucky
00:20:44Oh, look at him
00:20:46Come on, Lucky
00:20:50Look at Lucky
00:20:52He wins. He wins every time
00:20:54A black horse has been out of the gate five times, folks
00:20:56Three wins, and he plays twice
00:20:58Looking back, Lucky has owned and trained...
00:21:00Now, like I said, that's good horse flesh, honey
00:21:02You've done good
00:21:04I'll tell you, all the people I've ever worked with
00:21:06I've never met anybody who could train a horse like she does
00:21:09She's got some real talent
00:21:11What do you think of your girl's horse, Mr. Cooper?
00:21:13I think that horse must come from some pretty good bloodlines
00:21:17Like the daughter, sir
00:21:19You staying around these parts, Morgan?
00:21:22Yeah, yeah, I think I might, uh...
00:21:24Check out this hill country of yours
00:21:26Yeah, the Chamber of Commerce ought to hire your daughter, sir
00:21:29She's not talking horses. She's talking Texas
00:21:31Texas, huh?
00:21:36Um...
00:21:38I think I'm gonna have to get going
00:21:40It's getting kind of late
00:21:42Thanks again, Morgan, for bringing Lucky
00:21:44And for bringing the video of his last race
00:21:46I know you didn't get a chance to see him before you left
00:21:49I figured I would get a kick out of it
00:21:51There you go
00:21:53Okay, good night
00:21:55It's good to meet you, son
00:21:57You come back again, all right?
00:21:59Come back all the time. There's always a sideshow going on around here
00:22:01I appreciate that
00:22:03Pleasure, Mr. Cooper
00:22:05Yeah
00:22:07See you, Billy
00:22:09Well, don't just stand there, girl
00:22:11Walk the man out to his truck
00:22:13Ain't you a liberated woman?
00:22:15Ha-ha!
00:22:17Ha-ha!
00:22:21I've forgotten how beautiful this place can be
00:22:31You, uh...
00:22:33You better get going
00:22:35Go
00:22:41Morgan...
00:22:43We've, uh...
00:22:45Been friends for a long time
00:22:49Let's not mess it up
00:22:51Before I met you
00:22:53I thought I was a pretty good trainer
00:22:55But...
00:22:57You taught me that the first thing you teach a horse
00:22:59Is to trust you
00:23:03Now...
00:23:05Does that work for people, too?
00:23:13I don't get to see you
00:23:15Take it easy
00:23:19I thought you were...
00:23:21Sticking around
00:23:23Our country's pretty big, isn't it?
00:23:43What?
00:23:45Did I say anything?
00:23:49I know what you're thinking
00:23:51No, Morgan's not Billy's dad
00:23:53No, he's not my boyfriend
00:23:55No, he's not gonna be my boyfriend, either
00:23:57You know what I was thinking, Jake?
00:23:59I was thinking that standing out here
00:24:01In this moonlight
00:24:03You look just like your mama
00:24:07I do?
00:24:09She always had this certain look in her eye
00:24:11Like she knew some secret
00:24:13That me and Will were never gonna figure out
00:24:17Oh, me and Will used to shovel it at her
00:24:19She loved every minute of it, too
00:24:21She could dish it back
00:24:23Just as good as we could shovel it at her
00:24:25That's not how I remember it, Amos
00:24:29Well, it ain't the kind of thing
00:24:31That a little kid can understand
00:24:35You know...
00:24:37You never have really understood
00:24:39Just how much they loved each other
00:24:43It's funny how
00:24:45Some people can find so much love
00:24:49Other people just can't get it right
00:24:55After Billy's dad
00:24:59Gosh
00:25:01I just gave up on it
00:25:03I don't have the time or energy
00:25:05For that stuff
00:25:09Yeah
00:25:13Mom loved her roses, didn't she?
00:25:17When your mom and pop first got married
00:25:21She planted about a dozen fancy rose bushes
00:25:25They burned in the summer
00:25:27Frozen in the winter
00:25:29The deer ate them, the bugs ate them
00:25:31No matter how hard she tried
00:25:33They always come up looking like a bunch of sticks
00:25:35There are roses out here everywhere, Amos
00:25:37Well, you see
00:25:39Your daddy thought them rose bushes
00:25:41Was a pain in the back
00:25:43So his idea was just to smother them out
00:25:45So when we dug that north stock pond
00:25:47He took a whole truckload of dirt
00:25:49And brought it down here and dumped it
00:25:51Right on top of them sticks
00:25:53Of course, that just happened to be
00:25:55Some of the best fertilized dirt
00:25:57In the hill country
00:25:59So nature took its course
00:26:01And next thing you know
00:26:03Sarah's roses was popping up
00:26:05Your daddy was mad as a hornet, too
00:26:07But she thought he hung the moon
00:26:11She didn't know he was trying to kill him?
00:26:13John William may be ornery
00:26:15But he ain't stupid
00:26:19He planted two more long roses for her
00:26:23That just happened to be
00:26:25The same year you were born
00:26:29You know
00:26:31If you could turn loose of that anger
00:26:33That pain
00:26:37You might find time and energy
00:26:39For that love
00:26:41I'm telling you
00:26:43If you don't
00:26:45You're gonna need to get a clock
00:26:47And some vitamins
00:26:49If you don't get that stuff right
00:26:51Ain't nothing else ever gonna matter
00:27:03What's going on?
00:27:17There's nothing wrong with this road
00:27:19Maybe not for you
00:27:21But I'm not gonna risk exercising like it
00:27:23With these rats in the road
00:27:25What's with the silver?
00:27:27Wow, look at that saddle
00:27:29Just one belly to sit
00:27:31Can I ride you, Grandpa? Can I, Mama?
00:27:33I thought you were gonna help me
00:27:35Upgrade the road
00:27:37Sure you can, son
00:27:39All right, and be careful
00:27:41Take good care of him
00:27:43I will
00:27:45Okay, let's go
00:27:47Hold on to that horn
00:27:49Okay
00:27:51Let's go, Grandpa
00:27:53Bye, Mom
00:28:01Bye, Grandpa
00:28:21Hey, Will, that girl sure knew
00:28:23What she was doing when she bought that big black horse
00:28:25Look at the time
00:28:32Well
00:28:34Mr. Cooper
00:28:36I've been trying to track you down all day
00:28:38Well, we've been right here
00:28:40For five generations
00:28:42Shouldn't have been that hard
00:28:44I heard your daughter was home
00:28:46That should speed things up
00:28:48Bob Sanchez, Sanchez Realty
00:28:50Out of San Antonio, Austin
00:28:54My condolences on your loss, Mr. Cooper
00:28:56But now that Mr. Bankson's passed on
00:28:58A merit deal is prepared
00:29:00To make more or less one last offer
00:29:02And what would that be exactly?
00:29:04More or less? Which is it?
00:29:06Mr. Cooper, we're giving you a very fair offer
00:29:08More than fair
00:29:10When you consider the current circumstances
00:29:12In the ranching business and market conditions
00:29:14Mr. Sanchez
00:29:16Are you trying to buy acreage from the Dry Creek?
00:29:18No, Ms. Cooper, we try to buy all of the Dry Creek
00:29:20Land, improvements, implements, livestock
00:29:22A merit deal wants the whole operation
00:29:24Lock, stock and barrel
00:29:26Well, for the last time, Mr. Sanchez
00:29:28The Dry Creek is not for sale
00:29:30And it's not going to be for sale
00:29:32It's not going to be divided up into them
00:29:34Ten-acre ranchettes
00:29:36And it's not going to be a tax write-off
00:29:38For some big corporation
00:29:40The truth, Ms. Cooper
00:29:42You can sell or lose it
00:29:44The sale to a merit deal has a lot to offer
00:29:46And it assures
00:29:48The rest of your years
00:29:50Will be a lot more comfortable
00:29:54You see that hill right there, Mr. Sanchez?
00:29:56That's known as Liberty Hill
00:29:58The town's named after it
00:30:00A bunch of folks buried up there
00:30:02Just happened to be my kin
00:30:04They made it through a lot of different wars
00:30:06Diseases that no one even thinks about anymore
00:30:08Drought, pestilence, the Great Depression
00:30:10They were stewards of the land
00:30:12They passed it on, the care of it, the love of it
00:30:16And that's what we're going to do
00:30:18The girl and me, we're going to pass it on
00:30:20That's the way it works, my friend
00:30:22We're going to pass it on
00:30:24That's the way it works, my pal
00:30:26Mr. Cooper
00:30:28Will
00:30:30This is the new millennium
00:30:32You've got to stop looking back
00:30:34Over your shoulder and look ahead
00:30:36And you're going to be hit with an inheritance tax
00:30:38That's probably 35%
00:30:40Of what this whole place is worth
00:30:44Between you and me, Mr. Sanchez
00:30:46I'd like nothing more than to give it up
00:30:48Spend the last of my days
00:30:50In a lap of luxury
00:30:52But between you and me, it'd be downright embarrassing
00:30:54To be the only one who didn't have a little stress
00:30:58And I'm not planning on being the one who, after five generations
00:31:00Dropped the ball
00:31:02No, sir
00:31:06May the last of you kind, Will Cooper
00:31:10My hat's off to you for going down fighting
00:31:12But go down, you will
00:31:22You better talk some sense into your father
00:31:24About how to lose this place to the bank
00:31:26And the tax man and get nothing in return
00:31:28Take care, now
00:31:36He's telling the truth, isn't he?
00:31:38We're a little behind on the note
00:31:40Ira Collins down at the bank
00:31:42He's been rolling the Dry Creek's balloon over
00:31:44For ten, maybe twelve years
00:31:46One more rollover's not going to make or break him or us
00:31:48We'll pay the interest a little on the principal
00:31:50And the tax man, well
00:31:52Let's pay that off, too
00:31:54And why am I just now hearing about this?
00:31:56Jake, I just wanted to spare you
00:31:58Spare me? Yeah
00:32:00Don't do me any favors, all right?
00:32:02I am my mother's daughter, after all
00:32:20All right
00:32:22All right
00:32:48All right, they're making it work out in California
00:32:50Here, too
00:32:52You just need to listen to me with an open mind
00:32:56You drive a pickup truck, you think of your horses as tools
00:32:58But there is a whole world of people out there
00:33:00Who buy those ten-acre ranchettes
00:33:02Drive Lincoln Navigators on semi-annual leases
00:33:04And think of their pleasure horses as big investments
00:33:08Those people take care of their investments
00:33:10That is where we come in
00:33:12The Dry Creek Training Stable and Equine Rehabilitation Center
00:33:14Specifications, pro forma
00:33:16Oh, I see, you've been talking to Amos
00:33:18You're gonna go in to hock up to your eyeballs
00:33:20To get out of hock up to your butt
00:33:22Right now, the future of this place
00:33:24Is held together the same way as it was in the past
00:33:26With rusted barbed wire and rotted rubber bands
00:33:28There's room here for a horse operation
00:33:30This has been a cattle operation ever since it started
00:33:32And that's the way it's gonna wind up
00:33:34I'm gonna talk to Ira Collins at the bank tomorrow
00:33:36And we'll do it all over again
00:33:38I'm gonna talk to her
00:33:40And we'll do it all over again
00:33:42I'm gonna talk to Ira Collins at the bank tomorrow
00:33:44And we'll do what we've always done, it's just that simple
00:33:46You know, that might work for you
00:33:48But sure as heck doesn't work for me
00:33:50And we can do this the easy way
00:33:52Or the hard way
00:33:54There's one thing for sure
00:33:56This time we're not gonna be doing it just your way
00:33:58And for the record
00:34:00I haven't eaten beef in six years
00:34:02I'm a vegetarian
00:34:04I don't believe in killing animals
00:34:06I'm into healing them
00:34:12I'm into healing them
00:34:42I'm talking to a nationwide network of trainers and managers
00:34:44All in desperate need of rehabilitation for their horses
00:34:46That's where the training and rehab facility comes in
00:34:48Up and running in 90 days near immediate cash flow
00:34:50Up and running in 90 days near immediate cash flow
00:34:52Ira, you and I both know the cattle market's got no place to go but up
00:34:54Ira, you and I both know the cattle market's got no place to go but up
00:34:56Ira, you and I both know the cattle market's got no place to go but up
00:34:58And we did all right with that Angus Erford cross
00:35:00And we did all right with that Angus Erford cross
00:35:02We just need a little more time to get the mix right
00:35:04And we'll pay off this note once and for all
00:35:06But for now...
00:35:08It sounds like a good plan, Will
00:35:10This is now, and right now I can't give you the time
00:35:12Not even if you reduce the principal by 50%
00:35:14Not even if you reduce the principal by 50%
00:35:16Look, this is an up-and-coming trend
00:35:18We tie in with a big restaurant chain, maybe two
00:35:20We feed and sell exclusively at a predetermined price per pound
00:35:22We feed and sell exclusively at a predetermined price per pound
00:35:24There's no risk in it
00:35:26If you would just look at the proposal, Mr. Collins, it's all there
00:35:28An integrated and complementary concept for the horse operation
00:35:30An integrated and complementary concept for the horse operation
00:35:32I'm telling you, service the horse lover
00:35:34That is where the money is
00:35:36I must say, I'm impressed
00:35:38Very
00:35:40I've never seen a better pro forma cash flow analysis on a horse ranching operation
00:35:42I've never seen a better pro forma cash flow analysis on a horse ranching operation
00:35:44It's all beautifully laid out
00:35:46It's all here, in black and white
00:35:48The trouble is
00:35:50I can't get approval for any additional loan commitments
00:35:52I can't get approval for any additional loan commitments
00:35:54Until and unless you make a substantial reduction in the current note
00:35:56Until and unless you make a substantial reduction in the current note
00:35:58You're already holding our land and improvements as collateral
00:36:00We're far more than what we're asking
00:36:02We're far more than what we're asking
00:36:04Miss Cooper, Jake, we're here to talk about the Dry Creek's current obligation
00:36:06to talk about the dry creeks current obligations this will work mr. Collins
00:36:11it's cutting-edge look girl set her piece now you and I have to talk some
00:36:16turkey I simply came here to roll a note now let's get to it like I said Jake
00:36:24it's all very well thought out no argument and if you had this plan a year
00:36:29ago before I can't do it well not this time if I did it for you I'd have to be
00:36:48doing it for them and we'd all go to heck you me and them let's be a darn

01:10:30Oh, yeah.
01:10:54Look at that.
01:10:56You won that in San Antone, July of 72.
01:11:00It was on the right.
01:11:02Well, that's a darn fool move, John William.
01:11:05You could have polished it up.
01:11:08Fourth of July rodeo, right?
01:11:10Yes, ma'am.
01:11:12The year I was born.
01:11:14How was I supposed to know you were born a week early?
01:11:17What about all my other birthdays?
01:11:20You know, Fourth of July is a big rodeo purse.
01:11:24I wish that was your present, didn't it?
01:11:26I didn't want your presents, all right?
01:11:28I wanted you to be around, like a father.
01:11:31That's one thing I always said.
01:11:32When I had Billy, at least I'd be around for him.
01:11:34You know why that buckle meant so much to me?
01:11:36It's the hardest ride I ever took.
01:11:38I spent all my time thinking about your mama having my baby, you.
01:11:41All right, the both of you, just shut the heck up!
01:11:45I swear, heads as hard as green pecans.
01:11:48You know, I spent most of my life right here, working Dry Creek.
01:11:52And I'm doing what I love, and I feel like a mighty lucky man.
01:11:55But ranching ain't no easy business.
01:11:57It ain't for the faint of heart.
01:11:59You work the good times as well as the bad, and you're a big help if you don't need much sleep.
01:12:03You must don't get your blood in a boil.
01:12:05You know, John William, living with you ain't always been no bed of roses.
01:12:08I understand that hard times and burying people you love can make a man tough.
01:12:13But this girl's aching inside.
01:12:15And she's been giving all she's got to help us.
01:12:17And what do you do? You keep cutting her off at the knees.
01:12:20And as for you, Jake, you ought to understand by now that your daddy's done more with less than any other man around.
01:12:25He's parched rodeos and all.
01:12:27Don't you know he dies a little bit every time you...
01:12:31Both of you, you're two of a kind.
01:12:34Don't you hardheads get it?
01:12:36What happens to all this don't matter.
01:12:38What happens to this is what matters.
01:12:41Family, that's all there really is.
01:12:44What's the matter?
01:12:46Amos?
01:12:47What's the matter, Amos?
01:12:49Help is over here, fella.
01:12:51Amos?
01:12:53Hey, we got some stuff.
01:12:55Amos, you okay?
01:12:57Come on, Amos.
01:12:58Amos?
01:13:00I need Dorothy and room 101.
01:13:02Dorothy, room 101, please.
01:13:05He's out of ICU. He's in room 104 now.
01:13:09He's out of ICU. He's in room 104 now.
01:13:12You can stick your head in the door, but only stay a minute.
01:13:16Thank you.
01:13:35You're a hard-headed old pecker woman.
01:13:38You almost let yourself in.
01:13:40Why not get so riled up?
01:13:45Please, Amos, wake up. I ain't got anybody to talk to.
01:13:53You, uh...
01:13:58I hate this place.
01:14:02I can't remember a worse day...
01:14:05besides the day I lost Sarah.
01:14:10The girl said some pretty awful things to me that day.
01:14:14Said she'd hate me, hate me till the day I died.
01:14:18How'd it all come to that?
01:14:21How the heck did it all come to that?
01:14:27Grandpa Charlie, he went numb that day, too.
01:14:33He didn't want to say goodbye to his baby girl.
01:14:39I had to do it.
01:14:42I had to take her off this darn machine.
01:14:49Sarah's never gonna come back, Amos.
01:14:52Not being Sarah again.
01:14:56Not in this world.
01:15:02I couldn't just let her lay there.
01:15:06There wasn't any way I could talk to Jamie about it.
01:15:09I didn't want her carrying the load of that decision.
01:15:16You know, I never thought I'd wind up losing...
01:15:20the both of them that day, my wife and my daughter.
01:15:26Please wake up, Amos.
01:15:28The good Lord didn't bring us this far just to drop us on our behinds.
01:15:31Grandma, what's wrong?
01:15:33Grandma, what's wrong?
01:16:04No, no.
01:16:10Hey.
01:16:15They think it was a stroke.
01:16:17Maybe mild, and he's still partially sedated.
01:16:25Go figure.
01:16:27Laid back, Amos, having a stroke.
01:16:31Maybe he'll shake it off.
01:16:33A lot of people do.
01:16:35Yeah.
01:16:38We won't know anything for 24 hours or so.
01:16:42How about you? Are you okay?
01:16:44Oh, gosh, no, I'm not okay.
01:16:50I, uh...
01:16:52I don't have any more answers.
01:16:56Yeah, you do.
01:17:19Irene.
01:17:21Morning, Will Cooper.
01:17:23Morning, Will Cooper.
01:17:25I heard about the fire, and I hope Amos is gonna be all right.
01:17:28I'm looking for that fellow Wainwright.
01:17:30He's out at the office at a meeting, Will.
01:17:33All right, where do I find Sanchez?
01:17:35Well, Mr. Sanchez does an office here at the bank, Will.
01:17:39Is there anybody here that actually runs the place?
01:17:44What is there?
01:17:46I believe that's you, Will.
01:17:48What's me?
01:17:49Your cell phone. It's ringing.
01:17:51I don't know...
01:17:56Belongs to Amos.
01:17:58Answer it for me, will you?
01:18:00Hey, hello?
01:18:04It's the hospital, Will, for you.
01:18:08Will Cooper.
01:18:13Thank goodness you're here, Mr. Cooper.
01:18:15How serious is it?
01:18:17Very. We've done everything we know how.
01:18:19How long has this been going on?
01:18:21Most of the morning. It's getting worse.
01:18:23John William Cooper, it's about time you got here.
01:18:26Now, you tell this jailer here to give me back my pants,
01:18:28because we're going home.
01:18:30Absolutely out of the question.
01:18:32Bed rest and monitoring is what was ordered.
01:18:34Your test will be back.
01:18:36Now, you heard the lady, Amos.
01:18:38Turn around and get back into bed,
01:18:40before this goes from serious to worse.
01:18:42Worse? You mean as in dying?
01:18:44Oh, no, no, no.
01:18:46If you got a feeling somebody needs to do that, you do the honors,
01:18:48and I'll be sticking around for another 20 years or so
01:18:50just to make people like you and her miserable.
01:18:52Now, give me my pants.
01:18:54You know what could kill a fella?
01:18:56Laying around in that bed back there hard as rocks,
01:18:58counting the ceiling tiles.
01:19:00Now, Will, I'm going home.
01:19:02You get me my britches, or I'm going like this.
01:19:04Wouldn't do to have his back waving in the breeze.
01:19:06Get the man his pants.
01:19:08I'm getting the doctor.
01:19:10Yeah, you do that. Maybe he knows who stole my britches.
01:19:14You know, when I was up there in that coma,
01:19:16I had the strangest dream.
01:19:18I dreamt she was rubbing my feet.
01:19:20I'm worried about you.
01:19:22How many fingers you see?
01:19:24I ain't counting fingers.
01:19:26What happened to Jake?
01:19:28I don't know.
01:19:30One minute she's standing in the hospital room door.
01:19:32Next minute she's gone, just like before.
01:19:34We've been out in the parking lot,
01:19:36and her old truck just wasn't there.
01:19:38Well, it ain't like she just took off, Will.
01:19:46Whoa!
01:19:48I wanted to die to stay in the hospital, Will.
01:19:50Where in blazes this fool
01:19:52think he's going in such a hurry?
01:19:54Looks like you're gonna get a chance to ask him.
01:19:56He's turning into Dry Creek.
01:20:16What the heck's going on here?
01:20:18Jake can't sell this place out for money.
01:20:20No, I couldn't, and I wouldn't.
01:20:22Can somebody tell me what's going on here?
01:20:24Amos, who let you out of the hospital?
01:20:26I don't know.
01:20:28Well, I don't know.
01:20:30I don't know.
01:20:32I don't know.
01:20:34I don't know.
01:20:36I don't know.
01:20:38I don't know.
01:20:40I don't know.
01:20:42I don't know.
01:20:44I don't know.
01:20:46Amos, who let you out of the hospital?
01:20:48I let myself out, Jake.
01:20:50One of you fellas want to answer his question?
01:20:52Bygones be bygones, Mr. Cooper.
01:20:54Congratulations.
01:20:56Congratulations for what?
01:20:58It's gonna be a big boost for Liberty Hill,
01:21:00the county, and the whole hill country.
01:21:02Northern Lights Bank share is glad to be a part of it.
01:21:04What you're looking at, Mr. Cooper,
01:21:06is phase one of the Dry Creek training stables
01:21:08and equine rehab center,
01:21:10and I am proud to be part of it.
01:21:12It's my dream.
01:21:14It's coming true.
01:21:18All right, Lucky, here's how this is gonna work.
01:21:20You gotta go run your race.
01:21:22I gotta run mine.
01:21:26We can do this, buddy.
01:21:28Together, we can all do this.
01:21:32You want me to take him?
01:21:34I'd be happy if you'd do the honors.
01:21:36Come on, boy.
01:21:40Jake.
01:21:44We're gonna rebuild the barn.
01:21:46They have some new stables right over there.
01:21:48That's where the new hydrotherapy pool's gonna go.
01:21:50Morgan called Mr. Kerwin.
01:21:52He's agreed to be our financial partner,
01:21:54put up seed money.
01:21:56For the next two years, Lucky runs under his silks.
01:21:58He wants his winnings, and he will win.
01:22:00Cover our nut,
01:22:02and we're gonna win.
01:22:04Cover our nut,
01:22:06he comes back and races for the dry creek.
01:22:08When his racing days are over, he comes home,
01:22:10and his bloodlines start here,
01:22:12where he belongs.
01:22:14This has always been a cattle ranch.
01:22:18You better get your premium beef scheme
01:22:20up and running, huh, Daddy?
01:22:22South Pasture still has 50 head left.
01:22:24We're keeping half the breeding stock in bulls.
01:22:26Gabe, we'll use your horse for the rest of the afternoon.
01:22:28Zechariah, yours, too.
01:22:30Come on, big fella.
01:22:34Morgan, look after Billy, will you?
01:22:36Jake and I got some work to do.
01:22:40Jake, let's go for a ride.
01:22:46Take a look at the gates.
01:22:48You'll see.
01:22:50Take a look at the gates.
01:22:52Check that old water tank.
01:22:54Do a count of all those bulls you're talking about.
01:22:56Then you can explain to your daddy
01:22:58how this is all gonna work out.
01:23:20Like old Charlie Bankston always said,
01:23:22cowboying is hard work,
01:23:24from before daylight to way past dark.
01:23:26Not enough money to write home about,
01:23:28but the thing is,
01:23:30it gets in your blood.
01:23:32Of course, you do have to keep up with the times.
01:23:34But do it right,
01:23:36and you spend every day doing something you love.
01:23:38And not many folks can say that.
