00:00:00Listen, Dad, imagine all these people from the city never experienced a morning like this.
00:00:07You know, we're giving them something special. It's a good thing, I promise.
00:00:11Yeah, well, I'll try to think of it like that.
00:00:15Okay.
00:00:18I'll do my best.
00:00:31Morning, Sheriff.
00:00:33Morning, John.
00:00:35What do you think?
00:00:36Oh, I think you missed your call, Rembrandt.
00:00:41Hey, can you do me a favor?
00:00:43Make sure the whole family is home at one o'clock today.
00:00:46Why's that?
00:00:48You'll see.
00:00:52Well, if it's what I think it is, it's about time.
00:01:01Okay.
00:01:22Well, it's a good thing I'm all alone. I can have my morning coffee in peace.
00:01:30Looking for me?
00:01:31No, sir. How'd you know?
00:01:33Well, there's something you gotta know about your grandfather.
00:01:36I'm a ninja.
00:01:38But you're a cowboy. Cowboys can't be ninjas.
00:01:41I'm gonna tell everyone at the Cowboy Ninja Convention that you said that.
00:01:44You want some breakfast, fellas?
00:01:45I do.
00:01:46Okay.
00:01:47Shoot. No work.
00:01:49What are you looking for?
00:01:50Frying pan.
00:01:51No, I'm sorry, but the kitchen is off limits. I just cleaned it.
00:01:55The bed and breakfast magazine reviewers are coming tomorrow.
00:01:57Tomorrow? Honey, we gotta eat.
00:01:59Yeah, well, here.
00:02:02You've got a lot to prepare for today, and I don't feel like cleaning the kitchen again.
00:02:07Now, everything has to be perfect.
00:02:09Honey, I'm still not too keen on strangers staying here.
00:02:14No, no, don't say that to me.
00:02:17People want that country living experience, and we can offer it to them.
00:02:20And in return, they can offer us their money, which we sorely need.
00:02:23Okay. It's your rodeo.
00:02:26Now you can get the breakfast of your dreams.
00:02:28Look, it's the one you're always asking for, right?
00:02:31You got it.
00:02:32Two for you, big guy.
00:02:34Enjoy, boys.
00:02:41There's only one thing tougher than a ninja.
00:02:44That's a mother.
00:02:56What's wrong, Daddy?
00:02:59My boots. I just put them here.
00:03:01Check the closet.
00:03:02Honey, my boots have lived in this spot for 40 years.
00:03:06Well, now they have a new home on the shoe rack in the closet.
00:03:10Shoe rack?
00:03:16Yeah, these reviewers have been known to be very thorough.
00:03:20Honey, don't stress these magazine people.
00:03:24You and Becca have done a fine job remodeling this house.
00:03:27Your mother would be proud.
00:03:29Yeah, I just need everybody on their best behavior for tomorrow.
00:03:32I'll get the word out.
00:03:36Uh, hat rack.
00:03:37Hat rack.
00:03:55Dad.
00:03:56Hi.
00:03:59We have a hat rack.
00:04:01Don't come traipsing through here with muddy shoes.
00:04:04I came to clock out, boss.
00:04:06Well, I appreciate your help, but I could use another hour from you.
00:04:09He has a real job, Ray, and thank you, Henry.
00:04:11Go save us from the bad guys.
00:04:13Yes, ma'am.
00:04:19Why isn't she eating?
00:04:21Mom, why isn't she eating?
00:04:23I don't know.
00:04:27I almost got to get her to eat now.
00:04:29Which one is her mama?
00:04:30Might be you, sweetheart.
00:04:32You're her mama. It's your horse.
00:04:35I got to get her to eat. I have to get the vet up here, okay?
00:04:38Okay.
00:04:39Did you check her teeth?
00:04:40Yeah, they're healthy.
00:04:42Here.
00:04:44What is this?
00:04:45Lashes. Might whet her appetite.
00:04:47That's what we had to do with you when you were a kid.
00:04:49She didn't eat any of your vegetables, nor did she get to eat them.
00:04:51I remember that.
00:04:52Well, grandma taught her that.
00:04:54My mom knew all the tricks, huh?
00:04:56She sure did.
00:04:57I miss grandma.
00:04:59Yeah, me too.
00:05:01Get at it, sweetheart.
00:05:02Okay.
00:05:03All right.
00:05:04Okay, thanks for the lashes, Gramps.
00:05:05Don't give her too much.
00:05:06I won't.
00:05:09Is Lenny still dwelling on her daddy?
00:05:11Oh, yeah. Still going on about finding him stubborn.
00:05:14Yeah, well, she's a Landsberg and a Peterson.
00:05:16She's a thoroughbred of stubborn.
00:05:18I just don't know what to tell her.
00:05:20Well, even if he is still alive, if he ain't shown up by now, chances are he ain't shown up.
00:05:26Now, Lenny can keep running in circles.
00:05:28That's her business.
00:05:30She can dwell on it, or she can move on.
00:05:32That's the same for you.
00:05:34I'm not dwelling on Caleb anymore, Dad.
00:05:36He's long gone.
00:05:38Gone.
00:05:39I got Henry to dwell on now.
00:05:41Yes, you do.
00:05:43Okay.
00:05:44Okay.
00:05:45I won't bring it up again.
00:05:47Love you, Daddy.
00:05:48Love you.
00:05:54Can I help you?
00:05:55Claudia and Frederick Dupree?
00:05:57B&B Magazine.
00:06:00Oh, I'm sorry.
00:06:03Right, right.
00:06:04No, I just, I was under the impression y'all were coming tomorrow.
00:06:08I did say we were coming tomorrow.
00:06:09But I found that the element of surprise allows for the most authentic review.
00:06:14I'm sure it does.
00:06:17Well, I am Regan Lansford, and y'all might know yourself.
00:06:22I'll be right back to give you a tour.
00:06:25Can I get y'all some iced tea or something?
00:06:28Iced teas would be great.
00:06:30You have an interesting layout here.
00:06:32Well, I hope interesting is a good thing.
00:06:34Not necessarily.
00:06:35Okay, then.
00:06:37Well, I'll be right back with those iced teas.
00:06:39Y'all make yourselves completely at home.
00:06:53Tony, why can I not get the sandwich the way I...
00:06:57We have a code 7 in the Lansford Ranch.
00:06:59All units to the Lansford Ranch, code 7.
00:07:02What's a code 7?
00:07:04Never heard it before.
00:07:05All units.
00:07:06Sounds bad.
00:07:15Sirens
00:07:25Rebecca Lansford, come out.
00:07:28Dad, the B&B people are here today.
00:07:30Today?
00:07:31Yes.
00:07:32I repeat, Rebecca Lansford, come out with your hands up.
00:07:35Is that Henry?
00:07:36Is it 1 o'clock already?
00:07:37Yeah.
00:07:38Why?
00:07:39Yeah, it's Henry.
00:07:40They got right out front.
00:07:44I'll get Becca.
00:07:46Rebecca Lansford, will you please come out with your hands up?
00:08:00Brady, have you seen Becca?
00:08:02Well, I just saw she rode out to get the mail.
00:08:06Get this, Pop.
00:08:07Pat Peterson's here.
00:08:08Where?
00:08:09Right out front.
00:08:10He's got a ride for her.
00:08:15I repeat, Rebecca Lansford, please come out with your hands up.
00:08:19Sorry for all the commotion.
00:08:20There's a perfectly good explanation.
00:08:23Here's your lemonade.
00:08:25I thought you said iced tea.
00:08:26I did, didn't I?
00:08:28Sorry about that.
00:08:34He's got a gun.
00:08:36Welcome to the country experience.
00:08:40Get off my property, Ted.
00:08:42Tell me what the heck's going on here.
00:08:43It doesn't concern you.
00:08:44Move out.
00:08:45Come on, John.
00:08:46Settle down.
00:08:47The man brings a rifle on my property, on my land.
00:08:48We're going straight to my land and garbage all over.
00:08:50I got kids in this house.
00:08:51Let me tell you something.
00:08:52What happened to you?
00:08:53Let me tell you something.
00:08:54I heard there was a problem out here.
00:08:55Oh, you come out here to help?
00:08:57Is that what you're telling me?
00:08:58Code 7 is what I heard.
00:08:59Code 7?
00:09:00He doesn't know.
00:09:01But that's Henry.
00:09:02He's a good guy.
00:09:03What is all the commotion?
00:09:04What's going on, Henry?
00:09:05No, I ain't saying anything to you, John.
00:09:06Hey, that's a new one, isn't it?
00:09:07No, I didn't come out here to get anything.
00:09:09Code 7 is our lunch break.
00:09:12Excuse me?
00:09:13Code 7 is our lunch break.
00:09:15Code 7 is your lunch break?
00:09:17Yes, sir.
00:09:25I don't know what's the matter with you people.
00:09:27Your lunch break.
00:09:28Yeah, come by anytime.
00:09:29You have yourself a nice lunch, ma'am.
00:09:34That was weird.
00:09:35I'll be right back.
00:09:37I'm gonna get you the drinks I promised you.
00:09:39And don't worry about a thing.
00:09:41That's just one of our neighbors.
00:09:42Henry, what is going on?
00:09:43What is all this commotion?
00:09:46Tell her, Henry.
00:09:49Well, now it ain't right.
00:09:51Forget it.
00:09:52This was all just a big misunderstanding.
00:09:56Becca, come on down here.
00:09:58Brady, Henry's got something to say.
00:10:03Okay, fine.
00:10:05I guess I'm doing this.
00:10:06Yeah, you are.
00:10:09So, Becs.
00:10:11Yeah?
00:10:12We've known each other our whole lives.
00:10:14Well, actually, our whole lives.
00:10:17Pretty close to it.
00:10:19Anyway, so, Becs, we've known each other our whole lives.
00:10:25You know what I mean?
00:10:26Since sixth grade.
00:10:27Seventh.
00:10:28Was it seventh?
00:10:29No, Henry, are you okay?
00:10:30What I'm trying to say is, we've known each other our whole lives.
00:10:34Take a knee, Sheriff.
00:10:36Trust me.
00:10:41Becs, I've always loved you.
00:10:44And I always dreamed about being your wife.
00:10:47Husband.
00:10:48Dang it.
00:10:49Let me start over.
00:10:51Becs, we've known each other our whole lives.
00:10:53And I've...
00:10:54Yes, Henry.
00:10:56Yes, what?
00:10:57Yes, I'll marry you.
00:10:58You will?
00:11:00Oh.
00:11:02I guess I should have done something a little more subtle.
00:11:05Well, this was memorable.
00:11:13Honey, this is gonna make you happy.
00:11:17It does. It really does.
00:11:19Well, that's all a daddy can want.
00:11:22Let's have a wedding.
00:11:23All right.
00:11:24Let's have a wedding!
00:11:26Please, can't I show y'all around just a little bit more?
00:11:29Please.
00:11:30We need this.
00:11:32Y'all aren't all leaving, are you?
00:11:34I'm afraid so.
00:11:36Safety is the number one concern for our readers.
00:11:40Well, no, I grew up here.
00:11:42And I'm still alive.
00:11:43Yeah, see?
00:11:45Look, what y'all saw was a big elaborate proposal.
00:11:50And it's a big deal.
00:11:51Look, what y'all saw was a big elaborate proposal.
00:11:55My daughter, Becca, is getting married.
00:11:57He finally asked you!
00:11:58He tried.
00:11:59So why don't you stick around?
00:12:01I'm not sure your place is ready for that yet.
00:12:03Maybe we can come back next year and check on your progress.
00:12:06Listen, my kids and my grandkids worked their tails off to make this house ready for you all.
00:12:12Now, I apologize if I frightened you with the rifle and all.
00:12:16That was my fault.
00:12:17My fault, and I am sorry.
00:12:19We appreciate your apology.
00:12:22And now we're going to have a big brunch to celebrate the happy occasion.
00:12:26Right?
00:12:27Let us at least feed you before you head off.
00:12:29It's a country way.
00:12:31What do you say, Frederick?
00:12:32We don't want to go against the country way.
00:12:35No.
00:12:36Of course not.
00:12:38We can stay a little while.
00:12:39Oh, thanks.
00:12:40Come on.
00:12:41I hope you brought your appetizer.
00:12:43It's been a while.
00:12:45You look so beautiful.
00:12:47Beautiful.
00:12:48Beautiful.
00:12:50That's all we have.
00:12:57Miss Cuddy, would you mind going and grabbing that basket of eggs over there that Brady's got his grubbies all over?
00:13:02Sure.
00:13:04There you go.
00:13:05One thing my family likes to do is eat.
00:13:07Why don't you get these eggs?
00:13:08They're huge.
00:13:10Those eggs come from Doris, Nancy, Buella, and Pepper.
00:13:13And don't forget Princess Pecky.
00:13:15Princess Pecky.
00:13:16Guess who named that one?
00:13:18All right.
00:13:19Everything you see here, it comes from here.
00:13:21Except for the oranges, those on pressure cooker in Florida.
00:13:25Frederick, write that down.
00:13:26This is all from the table.
00:13:28I've been writing everything down.
00:13:30This is impressive.
00:13:34And the last of the steak.
00:13:35Any biscuit, please?
00:13:44Hey, you know, I should say something.
00:13:47When Henry first took over from me as sheriff for this town, I didn't think it was going to last a day.
00:13:53Then he started hanging out with my very independent daughter.
00:13:56I'd give him a week.
00:13:57Tops.
00:13:59I don't like being wrong, but I'm happy to say that I grossly underestimated the staying power of this man.
00:14:06Here's to Henry.
00:14:07And of course to Rebecca.
00:14:08Thank you for that, Dad.
00:14:09To Henry.
00:14:10Rebecca.
00:14:11Here, here.
00:14:14I should say something.
00:14:18You got this.
00:14:21All these years, you've been the family I never had.
00:14:25Now I'm finally making it official.
00:14:28I love Rebecca, but I also love all of you.
00:14:31So, to family.
00:14:33Cheers.
00:14:34To family.
00:14:38How are you?
00:14:44So how long have you been in this magazine thing?
00:14:48Well, it's all Frederick's thing, really.
00:14:50He started the magazine 25 years ago.
00:14:52And I'm retired now, so I help him out whenever I can.
00:14:56Well, it's a good thing, you know.
00:14:58Keeps the marriage strong.
00:14:59No, we're not married.
00:15:01Oh?
00:15:02Frederick's my brother.
00:15:04Oh.
00:15:07That's good.
00:15:09I mean, that's nice.
00:15:11To have a brother in business.
00:15:14So, Miss Claudia, what did you do before you retired?
00:15:18I was a party planner.
00:15:20I did a lot of high-end events.
00:15:22Bar mitzvahs, weddings, birthday parties.
00:15:25It was fun. It was a lot of fun.
00:15:27She was the best.
00:15:28Well, that's perfect, because we're going to need a wedding planner.
00:15:32No, I'm sorry.
00:15:33After my divorce, I quit the business and hit the road with Frederick.
00:15:37Where are you having the wedding?
00:15:39Oh, my goodness, I don't know.
00:15:40I guess that's something that you and I have to talk about, huh, Henry?
00:15:43I just hope it goes smoother than my proposal.
00:15:45Well, that won't take much.
00:15:47You should really have the wedding here.
00:15:49It's beautiful.
00:15:51Well, I don't know.
00:15:53What is something to think about?
00:15:54What do you think, Daddy?
00:15:56Well, she's the expert, but that's not my decision.
00:15:59It's Henry and Beckett.
00:16:01I say let's do it.
00:16:02When?
00:16:03Oh, my goodness, Henry.
00:16:04Well, I don't know.
00:16:06Summer? The next spring?
00:16:08I mean...
00:16:09I'm ready to be your husband right now.
00:16:11As far as I'm concerned, the sooner the better.
00:16:13Okay.
00:16:14You know, on the 6th would have been your mom and I's anniversary.
00:16:19So why don't you have it then?
00:16:21Share the date.
00:16:23Daddy, you may be honored, but that's in a month.
00:16:29Oh, come on, Becca.
00:16:31It doesn't get any more perfect than that.
00:16:34Yeah, you know, Bex, if Mom was here,
00:16:37I think she'd love that idea.
00:16:42All right.
00:16:44Let's do it.
00:16:50I have to take this.
00:16:57Hey, did you find anything?
00:16:58So your dad actually did a really good job of covering up the tracks over the years.
00:17:02Do you know if he went by a different name other than Kayla Peterson ever?
00:17:06No, not that I know of.
00:17:08I'll do a deep dive.
00:17:09And good thing is, nobody can disappear these days.
00:17:12Thanks, Jermaine.
00:17:16Well, I got to get to some chores now.
00:17:20It was so nice of you to stay.
00:17:22Very good to meet you.
00:17:23Mind if I tag along?
00:17:27Well, it's just chores.
00:17:28I couldn't ask you to do that.
00:17:30Why? Because I'm a woman?
00:17:31Do it.
00:17:34No.
00:17:35I've raised two strong, independent daughters.
00:17:39So, look, if you...
00:17:42Sure, come on.
00:17:44Let's do it.
00:17:47I'm just giving you a hard time.
00:17:51Frederick, you want to come?
00:17:53Oh, no.
00:17:54Can we take the horses?
00:17:57Do you ride?
00:17:58It's been a while, but yeah.
00:18:00Well, she can take my horse, Daddy.
00:18:01She's still all saddled up.
00:18:03Great, thanks.
00:18:04You're welcome.
00:18:07Okay.
00:18:08Let's do it.
00:18:12Have fun, Daddy.
00:18:19To hold that back, I like your sister.
00:18:21I think we've seen our daddy squirming.
00:18:23How long?
00:18:30She's frisky now.
00:18:32I like frisky.
00:18:35Leg up.
00:18:39Thank you, sir.
00:18:40Okay.
00:18:45You look pretty good up there.
00:18:53Look at her.
00:18:54You have nice, light hands.
00:18:56Aw, thanks.
00:18:57Yeah, most people say they can ride, they can't ride.
00:19:00Oh, I just love him so much.
00:19:02Yeah.
00:19:03Thank you for letting me ride her.
00:19:07Are you all good with this, me and Henry?
00:19:09Yeah, Mom.
00:19:10I'm happy for you.
00:19:12You love him, right?
00:19:14Yeah, I do.
00:19:15He makes me feel safe.
00:19:16We understand each other.
00:19:17It's important when you get older.
00:19:18Trust me, girlfriend.
00:19:20Did you love my father?
00:19:23We were practically kids.
00:19:25Lenny, it was something different.
00:19:27What was he like?
00:19:29Not a long time, Ben.
00:19:31You never want to talk about it.
00:19:33Lenny.
00:19:34I get it.
00:19:35He's a son of Top Peterson.
00:19:37But he left before he even knew about me.
00:19:40Maybe if he knew, he'd want to be in my life.
00:19:43I'm not going to pretend like he doesn't exist, Mom, because he's a Peterson.
00:19:47I don't want you to pretend he doesn't exist, Lenny.
00:19:49I just don't want you to be disappointed.
00:19:51Do you ever wonder where he went?
00:19:53What kind of life he led?
00:19:55Sure, I think about him sometimes.
00:19:58But you know what? Henry is here.
00:19:59Henry has always been here.
00:20:01I'm not trying to talk you out of Henry.
00:20:03I like Henry.
00:20:04Everybody likes Henry.
00:20:06Yeah, and Henry likes you.
00:20:09For some strange reason.
00:20:12I'm happy for you, Mom.
00:20:15I'm happy, too.
00:20:16Say hi to him.
00:20:18Bring him in.
00:20:20I love you.
00:20:21I love you, Mom.
00:20:23Oh, no.
00:20:24What?
00:20:25Oh, no, I have lost my ring.
00:20:27Okay.
00:20:28I've been doing chores.
00:20:29Okay.
00:20:30No, no, no, it's so bad.
00:20:31Don't panic.
00:20:32No, don't panic.
00:20:33We'll find it.
00:20:34Come on, let's go.
00:20:35We'll find it.
00:20:36We got it.
00:20:38Here we go.
00:20:39Good.
00:20:41You're stronger than you look.
00:20:43So are you.
00:20:44What's that supposed to mean?
00:20:46Nothing.
00:20:48Okay, I'm going to pack this up.
00:20:49I've been here this morning.
00:20:52You hold that against that?
00:20:53Yep.
00:20:54There.
00:20:57Good.
00:20:58So what's next?
00:20:59Next, I fix a fence.
00:21:01What, am I supposed to just sit around and watch you do all the work?
00:21:04Well, I've been mending fences since I was eight years old.
00:21:07It ain't going to take very long.
00:21:09That's a shame.
00:21:13That man with the gun.
00:21:16What's that all about?
00:21:18Oh, it's Ted Pearson.
00:21:19Ted Pearson.
00:21:21There's an old running feud between our families.
00:21:23Like the Hatfields and McCoys?
00:21:25Something like that.
00:21:26Well, things didn't turn out so great for them.
00:21:28No, it didn't.
00:21:30But you know,
00:21:32the sad part is,
00:21:33it's all based on lies and nothing true about it.
00:21:35Those lies have been passed down.
00:21:37Caused a lot of ugliness.
00:21:39So what's keeping the fires going?
00:21:42Well,
00:21:44Ted Pearson's a tough nut to crack.
00:21:46I wish I could make it right.
00:21:48I don't want to pass it down to another generation.
00:21:51The lives we've been given, huh?
00:21:53And the people in them.
00:21:55It's a mystery.
00:21:56All we can do is try to do the right thing every day.
00:22:01When we fail, we just have to pick ourselves up and try again.
00:22:06I like you.
00:22:08I like you too.
00:22:11Does that mean we're going to get a glowing report in that magazine of yours?
00:22:15Oh, is that what this is about?
00:22:17You're just buttering my bread?
00:22:18Well, you didn't know that?
00:22:20Yeah.
00:22:25Excuse me!
00:22:28Could you by chance point us to the J.L. Wrench Bennett breakfast?
00:22:31Keep going until you hit the first driveway.
00:22:33All right, thank you, sir.
00:22:36Okay, here's your key,
00:22:37and you just let us know if you need anything.
00:22:39The only thing we need right now is a nap.
00:22:41We drove through the night.
00:22:42Oh, where are y'all from?
00:22:43Chicago.
00:22:44All right, well, thanks for making the trip.
00:22:46And we'll try to keep it down for you, okay?
00:22:48Okay.
00:22:49So it's just upstairs, second door on the right.
00:22:51Okay, thank you.
00:22:52Yeah.
00:22:53My boys will help you with the bags.
00:22:54Okay, take it easy, boys.
00:23:02First guest?
00:23:03Mom, what about Frederick and me?
00:23:05Oh, well, you don't really count when you're not even staying the night.
00:23:08So, of course we are.
00:23:10How can we do a proper review if we don't actually stay here?
00:23:13Really?
00:23:14That'd be great.
00:23:15All right, I'll have my boys get your rooms ready.
00:23:19You made my daughter happy.
00:23:21Come on, I'll help you with your bag.
00:23:29Ah, sorry I'm late.
00:23:31All right.
00:23:33Jerry Gramble hit a fire hydrant with his car.
00:23:36Jerry still drives?
00:23:37That's the problem.
00:23:38He's on him, too.
00:23:39Hasn't had his license in 20 years.
00:23:41Enough.
00:23:43I should have proposed here.
00:23:45We've been coming here for how long?
00:23:47Would have been beautiful, but all that matters is we're getting married, right?
00:23:53I, um...
00:23:55I do have one thing to confess, though.
00:23:57I, uh...
00:23:58What?
00:23:59I lost the ring.
00:24:01I just, it was a little big.
00:24:02I didn't want to say anything.
00:24:03It must have come off doing more than chores, honey.
00:24:05It's okay.
00:24:06Not a big deal.
00:24:07It is a big deal.
00:24:08You can't go money for this ring.
00:24:10Technically, my great-grandfather spent good money on it.
00:24:12It's a family heirloom, Henry.
00:24:14That's even worse.
00:24:15I am so sorry.
00:24:17This engagement isn't getting off to a great start, is it?
00:24:20I'm gonna find it, I promise.
00:24:22Oh, Becker.
00:24:24It's fine.
00:24:26Hopefully you'll find it.
00:24:27I am.
00:24:28If not, it doesn't change anything.
00:24:30The ring is a thing.
00:24:31The thing is just a thing.
00:24:34Well, thank you, Dr. Seuss.
00:24:37A ring is a thing, but it's a nice thing.
00:24:40I'm gonna find it, okay?
00:24:41I love you.
00:24:45You know what else are also a thing?
00:24:47Sandwiches.
00:24:48Oh, my God.
00:24:49I'm starving.
00:24:51Made with love.
00:25:03Mr. Tap Peterson.
00:25:05That's right. Who are you?
00:25:06My name is Todd Kepler.
00:25:08I work with the Mayfair Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City.
00:25:11What's your business?
00:25:12I'm here to collect on a sizable debt that was accrued by a Corey Price,
00:25:16but I think you know him by his birth name, Caleb Peterson.
00:25:22Why would you call me?
00:25:23Because you're a man of considerable means, and Caleb's not.
00:25:27I don't need it if my son's alive.
00:25:29Oh, he's very much alive.
00:25:38I need a loan for two million dollars.
00:25:40We're a small-town bank.
00:25:42We can't get you the money you're asking for.
00:25:45I can approve for you 200,000 dollars.
00:25:48If you need more, think about liquidating some assets.
00:25:51So, I have this ranch that I love, and I love to run it.
00:25:57And you want me to sell that off, is that what you're saying?
00:26:00How about the co-op?
00:26:02They have emergency funds set aside for these type situations.
00:26:06Uh-huh.
00:26:08I know you and John have had your differences, but he's a fair man.
00:26:10Every rancher in the county has been where you're at.
00:26:14Even the Landsbergs.
00:26:16Set aside your pride, and just ask him.
00:26:21I'd rather take a poison pill.
00:26:26I'll see you later.
00:26:33Grandpa.
00:26:35Hey, little one.
00:26:36What you doing here?
00:26:37Can we talk?
00:26:38Can we talk? Sure, of course.
00:26:40My mom hasn't told me much about him.
00:26:44Can you?
00:26:46Let's start with the beginning.
00:26:48Like, he was a little brat kid, like most of y'all.
00:26:52I mean, we spoiled him a little bit, but he was a great little kid.
00:26:56So, if he's getting into trouble, like most of them kids as they grow older, trouble, you know.
00:27:02He was a good boy.
00:27:04I just can't help it.
00:27:05What?
00:27:06I believe he's still alive, Grandpa.
00:27:09Do you know where I can find him?
00:27:36Nice, Brady.
00:27:40Nice one, Brady.
00:27:41You can sing him.
00:27:43We have a wedding to plan in this very spot in a month, so how are we going to pull that off, y'all?
00:27:49You can keep it simple.
00:27:50As long as you have friends and family here, we'll be fine.
00:27:53Now, that is a typical man thing to say, but I want to hear from Claudia, because she used to do this for a living.
00:27:58So, what do we need?
00:27:59You need a tent.
00:28:01You need catering, tables, chairs, decorations, flowers.
00:28:06You'll need music.
00:28:08For the ceremony and the reception, someone to preside over the ceremony.
00:28:12Honestly, that's just the basics.
00:28:15You're going to need a lot more.
00:28:16Sounds about right.
00:28:17And, Henry, you need to start thinking about who your best man is going to be, but you just take your time and choose from your heart.
00:28:24Brady, is that cool?
00:28:27Yeah, man.
00:28:28Cool.
00:28:29Cool.
00:28:30Oh, we're dealing with cavemen!
00:28:33Claudia, are you sure that you won't stay and help us with this wedding?
00:28:36My sister takes care of all of it.
00:28:37She's going to drive us insane.
00:28:39Well, you know, that's fair.
00:28:41We'll give you room and board and take good care of you, right, Daddy?
00:28:44I'd love to have you.
00:28:46I mean, we'd all like to have your expertise around here.
00:28:49Sorry, but I promised Frederick that I'd finish up this issue.
00:28:53Oh, you can stay, but you have to write the review for this place.
00:28:58You can have my marshmallow if you stay, Miss Claudia.
00:29:01Oh, my gosh, how can a girl turn down a marshmallow from such a handsome fellow?
00:29:17Hey.
00:29:19Hey, Grandpa.
00:29:20You going somewhere?
00:29:21Yeah, just a small road trip.
00:29:24Does your mother know?
00:29:25No.
00:29:26I'll just... I'm going to call her from the road.
00:29:29Something you want to talk about?
00:29:32I promise I won't tell anyone.
00:29:34Okay.
00:29:35I may have a lead to where my dad is.
00:29:38I'm not sure, but I'm going to go check it out.
00:29:41Well, that's...
00:29:43That's the exciting thing about being an adult.
00:29:46You make your own decisions.
00:29:47How's your horse?
00:29:48Yeah, much better.
00:29:50The molasses works.
00:29:51Yeah, well, you learned your first lesson about being a parent.
00:29:53Be there for him.
00:29:55You don't think I should be looking for him?
00:29:57I didn't say that.
00:29:59Just remember who was there for you.
00:30:01Yeah, I know.
00:30:03I know that he wasn't here.
00:30:05But maybe if he knew that I existed, he would be here like y'all were.
00:30:10Brady, just the man I need.
00:30:12What's up, Pop?
00:30:13Listen, how'd you like to take a little road trip with your niece here?
00:30:17Oh, Gramps, I'm sure he's got things to do around here.
00:30:20Give me peace of mind knowing you're not alone, honey.
00:30:23Yeah, all right.
00:30:24When are we leaving?
00:30:25As soon as possible.
00:30:27Take care of this and bring me my stocking.
00:30:49John?
00:30:51Uh-oh.
00:30:52I want to put chandeliers up in the barn,
00:30:54and I found a guy who will give us a really good price,
00:30:57but it's going to be a little bit more than we budgeted for.
00:31:01You are so pretty.
00:31:03What?
00:31:05Did you hear anything I just said?
00:31:07Uh-oh.
00:31:09Chandeliers.
00:31:10Chandeliers, right?
00:31:11Yeah.
00:31:12Yeah, well, you think we need them?
00:31:14I trust you'd do what you're going to do.
00:31:16Great, thanks.
00:31:18How do you think we're doing so far?
00:31:19Here?
00:31:20Yeah.
00:31:21Well, I can't tell you that.
00:31:22You're going to have to buy the magazine to find out.
00:31:25Oh, come on.
00:31:26You think we've got what it takes?
00:31:28Um, jury's still out.
00:31:31But you could help your case with a minor bribe.
00:31:34Oh, your jury takes bribes, does it?
00:31:37You know, perhaps if you were to show a girl around town a bit.
00:31:40Oh, you don't think that's going to mess with your journalistic integrity?
00:31:43I'll take my chances.
00:31:45Okay, then you got a deal.
00:31:46If you don't mind sitting through a town hall meeting first.
00:31:49Hey, Daddy.
00:31:50I'm, uh, sorry to interrupt.
00:31:52Have you, uh, have you seen?
00:31:54Lenny, she is not answering her phone.
00:31:56Yeah, she went on a little road trip with Brady.
00:31:58She did?
00:31:59Okay, when did they leave?
00:32:01This morning.
00:32:02She said she was going to call you.
00:32:04But she's with Brady, so she's fine.
00:32:06Okay, well, she did not call me.
00:32:07What a surprise.
00:32:09Okay, thank you.
00:32:11Again, sorry to interrupt.
00:32:19So, are you going to tell me why we're going all the way up to Beaumont?
00:32:22I...
00:32:24I found my dad.
00:32:25That's what this is all about, Lenny.
00:32:27You should have told me.
00:32:29That puts me in a really tough spot.
00:32:33You know, you're going to have to tell her at some point.
00:32:36Yeah, I know, but you know how Mom is?
00:32:38She'll try to talk me out of it.
00:32:40I'm doing this.
00:32:42She is going to be so mad at me.
00:32:44Look, I'll take the heat.
00:32:46Just please don't say anything yet.
00:32:49Okay.
00:32:57You have an impressive property.
00:33:00Well, thank you, Emily.
00:33:02I was surprised you came to us.
00:33:04Me too.
00:33:07So, am I getting a loan or not?
00:33:10Of course.
00:33:12It's just a matter of cost.
00:33:14Of course.
00:33:15I know exactly how you people do business.
00:33:19I've done it with you before.
00:33:21Good.
00:33:23We're a private lending group, so we can set our own terms.
00:33:26Fifteen percent interest.
00:33:28You have 21 days.
00:33:30Your land is your collateral.
00:33:32If you cannot repay us in 21 days,
00:33:35then your property will be ours.
00:33:39Vultures.
00:33:41Do we have a deal, Mr. Peterson?
00:33:43Oh, yes.
00:33:46We have a deal.
00:33:50Will's just not likely need to disappear like this.
00:33:53That's all I'm saying.
00:33:55Bax, as much as you don't want to admit it,
00:33:57Lenny is her own woman.
00:33:59Yeah.
00:34:01She ain't like us.
00:34:03When's the last time you left this town?
00:34:05I went to, uh, I went to Benton.
00:34:07Hey, you shut your mouth.
00:34:09When was the last time you went anywhere?
00:34:11Why would I want to go anywhere else?
00:34:13Oh, you're so funny.
00:34:16We just know what we like.
00:34:18Lenny's young and adventurous.
00:34:21Nothing wrong with that.
00:34:23Yeah.
00:34:25Maybe we should go somewhere for our honeymoon.
00:34:28Oh, my gosh.
00:34:30I forgot people actually go on honeymoon.
00:34:32Where'd we go?
00:34:34I don't know.
00:34:37Maybe, uh,
00:34:40some place exotic.
00:34:42I've always wanted to go to the Corn Palace.
00:34:43Up in Mitchell.
00:34:45South Dakota.
00:34:47That is pretty exotic.
00:34:49Some people it is.
00:34:51I was thinking maybe the Maldives.
00:34:53The Maldives?
00:34:55Yeah.
00:34:57You got surprises all over the place.
00:34:59I saw it on this documentary.
00:35:01They got these huts you can stay in
00:35:03built right on top of the water.
00:35:05Yeah, yeah.
00:35:07As long as I'm with you,
00:35:09wherever we are, I'm happy.
00:35:14Pretty nice.
00:35:16You are pretty nice.
00:35:19Hey, Tab.
00:35:21I don't think you're going to sell the whole herd.
00:35:23Nobody around here can afford it.
00:35:26Well,
00:35:28we just lower the reserve.
00:35:31Just sell everything.
00:35:33We'll sell our horses, too.
00:35:35Except, except mine.
00:35:39Any other business to come before the council?
00:35:41Here.
00:35:43Would you step forward, please?
00:35:46I have it on good word
00:35:48that Tab Peterson is auctioning off
00:35:50all his livestock.
00:35:52You know, I heard that, too.
00:35:54Is that true, John?
00:35:56Is he downsizing?
00:35:58I haven't heard anything.
00:36:00If it closes up, we're all in trouble.
00:36:02Okay, hold it.
00:36:04Let's lighten up here.
00:36:06Listen, if the man wants to sell a few things,
00:36:08that's his business.
00:36:09Let's find out a little something first
00:36:11before we get so excited.
00:36:14Oh, and last but not least,
00:36:16I'd like to mention,
00:36:18Rebecca and I are engaged.
00:36:25You're all invited to the wedding.
00:36:28It'll be on the 6th of next month
00:36:30out at the landfill.
00:36:37We're getting so excited.
00:36:39So close.
00:36:41I've been waiting my whole life to meet my dad.
00:36:43You know what you're going to say to him?
00:36:45I have no clue.
00:36:47You know, you should have a plan, Lennie.
00:36:49You don't want your emotions to get the best of you.
00:36:51You don't want to end up like Henry
00:36:53when he proposed to your mom.
00:36:55I just want to see him first,
00:36:57and then I'm hoping it will all become clear.
00:37:00Well, I know I've got a few things
00:37:02I'd like to say to him.
00:37:04Brady, you promised.
00:37:06I don't want you scaring him away.
00:37:07I'll keep my mouth shut.
00:37:09For now.
00:37:11So, how's the wedding plan going?
00:37:13Good.
00:37:15I've already started on a few things.
00:37:17It's time to order the tent.
00:37:19Tent? What do we need a tent for?
00:37:21We're going to use the backyard, yeah?
00:37:23Murphy's Law.
00:37:25If there's no tent, it will rain.
00:37:27Ah, good to know.
00:37:29However, I've been looking around
00:37:31and a barn wedding could be rustic and charming.
00:37:33So if you can live without your barn
00:37:35for a few weeks while we decorate,
00:37:37what do you think, Daddy?
00:37:39I could probably work around
00:37:41the barn a little bit.
00:37:50That is cute.
00:37:52I don't think I'm going for cute.
00:37:54Well, what are you going for?
00:37:56What do you like?
00:37:58It's Brady.
00:38:00You look pretty.
00:38:02Gorgeous.
00:38:04Congratulations.
00:38:05Now, all day, you have been acting
00:38:07like somebody stole your puppy.
00:38:09What's going on?
00:38:11I don't know.
00:38:13All this rushing, the wedding stuff,
00:38:15and I still haven't found that ring.
00:38:17Just, you know, what if it's a sign?
00:38:19Oh, it's not a sign.
00:38:21It's only a sign if you make it a sign.
00:38:23Now, it's an unfortunate thing that happened,
00:38:25but it doesn't prove your love.
00:38:27Henry's just so calm about everything.
00:38:29It's like he doesn't even care about the ring.
00:38:31Henry has been wanting to marry you
00:38:33since eighth grade.
00:38:35And a ring's in a ring.
00:38:37It's not going to bring him down.
00:38:39Oh, all right.
00:38:41I think I know what dress you're going to wear.
00:38:43Which one?
00:38:45I can't believe we didn't think of it before.
00:38:47What?
00:38:49Mom's wedding dress.
00:38:51What do you think?
00:38:53It'll be perfect.
00:38:55Let's go get it.
00:38:57Vintage is in.
00:38:59Is it?
00:39:06I hope you're coming to Tad's auction.
00:39:08Oh, I can't afford much of anything
00:39:10with this wedding coming up, Jeff.
00:39:12That's too bad.
00:39:14It's a lot of livestock.
00:39:16I thought it was just a few things.
00:39:18Nope.
00:39:20He's selling it all.
00:39:22That's no good.
00:39:24Well, it's real.
00:39:28Hey, Lenny.
00:39:30It is Mom again.
00:39:32I'm so glad you're here.
00:39:33Hey, Lenny.
00:39:35It is Mom again.
00:39:37I'm just a little worried.
00:39:39I hope everything is okay.
00:39:41I love you.
00:39:43Call me, please, when you...
00:39:45Guess what I just heard.
00:39:47Tad Peterson's liquidating
00:39:49his whole ranch, every animal.
00:39:51Well, that's troubling.
00:39:53The last person I thought
00:39:55would have money trouble.
00:39:57Something's wrong here.
00:39:59We can't let him go under.
00:40:01It affects too many people.
00:40:03It's pretty close.
00:40:05And that puts us at risk.
00:40:07You know that.
00:40:09Great risk if we don't, honey.
00:40:11I'll find out what's going on.
00:40:13If you go down to that auction,
00:40:15buy it all.
00:40:17Oh, and we're having a family dinner
00:40:19at 9-7-30.
00:40:21I'm making a big announcement,
00:40:23so wear something pretty
00:40:25and tell your boyfriend to come, too.
00:40:27Fiancé.
00:40:29That's my fiancé now.
00:40:31That's the one.
00:40:33Great lunch.
00:40:37And this is compliments of Claudia.
00:40:39She says you have to pick out your tuxes.
00:40:41I was thinking a nice suit would do,
00:40:43but tuxes might be nice.
00:40:45Whatever you want to wear.
00:40:47Um, hey, you know, listen,
00:40:49turns out that things are
00:40:51a little bit more serious with Tad
00:40:53than we thought.
00:40:55He's selling off all of his livestock
00:40:57and Daddy wants me to buy it all.
00:40:59Well, I have some savings.
00:41:01My money's yours if you need it.
00:41:03We'll figure it out.
00:41:07Anyway, uh,
00:41:09Daddy wants you to come for dinner tonight.
00:41:11Oh, sorry, I can't tonight.
00:41:14Oh.
00:41:16Okay.
00:41:18How are you?
00:41:25Well, you know that picture we took yesterday
00:41:28where the horse came in?
00:41:30Your horse came in and wanted to be in the picture.
00:41:31Came up great.
00:41:33This horse.
00:41:35So do you know what this big announcement is that does me?
00:41:37No.
00:41:38Beats me.
00:41:40Do you think it's about him and Claudia?
00:41:42Couldn't stand to be alone, the horse.
00:41:44The horse loves you.
00:41:46No.
00:41:48Look, Dad's style,
00:41:50that style's like a brick over the head.
00:41:52Okay, Adam, okay.
00:41:54I brought us all together
00:41:56for a very special reason.
00:41:58Everybody deserves a second chance.
00:42:01And that's what this is all about now.
00:42:03A second chance.
00:42:05Watch me, watch me, boys.
00:42:10That's the ring box.
00:42:12Wow.
00:42:14Are you sure about this?
00:42:16I mean, Claudia's a lovely woman,
00:42:18but I mean, how many days have you known each other?
00:42:22No, this is not about us.
00:42:24It's not about me.
00:42:26This is about someone else.
00:42:27Someone else.
00:42:33Thank you, John.
00:42:36Bex.
00:42:38I wanted a second chance
00:42:40to make this right
00:42:42and ask you properly.
00:42:49The ring is temporary
00:42:51until you find the other one.
00:42:53Bex,
00:42:55we have known each other our whole lives.
00:42:57Hey, everybody, I have a surprise.
00:42:59Leni, Brady,
00:43:01come on in, you're just in time.
00:43:03I found my dad.
00:43:12Hey, everybody.
00:43:18Hi, Rebecca.
00:43:20David.
00:43:22Adam,
00:43:24would you step in the other room
00:43:25just for a little bit?
00:43:27Henry's just about to say something important.
00:43:29No, he can stay.
00:43:32Leni found her dad.
00:43:34Y'all should celebrate.
00:43:37Welcome home, Cable.
00:43:42Excuse me.
00:43:46Henry?
00:43:49Henry?
00:43:56There you are.
00:43:58Barn's looking nice.
00:44:00Yeah.
00:44:02Claudia works fast.
00:44:04She does.
00:44:06I don't think it's big enough.
00:44:08Didn't invite the whole town.
00:44:11Maybe I got a little overzealous.
00:44:14Hmph.
00:44:16I'm sorry.
00:44:18I'm sorry.
00:44:20I'm sorry.
00:44:22I'm sorry.
00:44:23Hmph.
00:44:27I like it.
00:44:29I do.
00:44:31It's very sweet gesture.
00:44:34You sure you want to do this?
00:44:37Of course I want to do this.
00:44:39Why would you ask that?
00:44:41I don't know.
00:44:43Caleb's back.
00:44:45I reckon that's got to mess with your head.
00:44:49Don't blame me if you need more time.
00:44:51Henry Whitlock, I know that you love me.
00:44:54And we are going to get married in this barn.
00:44:57We're going to have a big, beautiful wedding
00:44:59with the whole town.
00:45:01And I could not be happier.
00:45:04Okay.
00:45:06I'm all right.
00:45:13What do you think is happening
00:45:15in that house right now?
00:45:17Imagine right now my husband and I
00:45:18are getting married.
00:45:20Imagine right now my family
00:45:22is giving Caleb the third degree.
00:45:26You should get back in there.
00:45:28This involves you, too.
00:45:30Come with me.
00:45:32It involves you, too.
00:45:35I'm going to duck out for the night.
00:45:39Good luck.
00:45:49Henry Whitlock.
00:45:51Wearing the badge now.
00:45:53Henry?
00:45:55I mean, you ran a pretty tight ship.
00:45:57But, well, Henry,
00:45:59seems like he'd let folks do whatever they want.
00:46:01He has always been sort of a pushover.
00:46:04Right?
00:46:06Henry's a fine sheriff.
00:46:10Well, that's good.
00:46:13That's good. People change.
00:46:15Do they, Caleb?
00:46:18I'd like to think so.
00:46:20Well, where have you been all these years?
00:46:24Well, you know,
00:46:26I mean, here and there,
00:46:28it's sort of,
00:46:30well, it's actually a long story.
00:46:32But a while back, I settled down,
00:46:34and I've been making a good life for myself.
00:46:36What are your intentions, Caleb?
00:46:42Yes, Caleb, what exactly are your intentions?
00:46:45Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:46I'm sorry.
00:46:48My family can be a little overprotective of me.
00:46:50It's okay.
00:46:52Just remember, I found him.
00:46:54I convinced him to come with us.
00:46:56So let's not scare him off just yet.
00:46:58It's been a long day, and I'm sure he's tired.
00:47:00That's right, Lani.
00:47:02It's been a long day.
00:47:04We all need to give it a rest for the night.
00:47:07Brady,
00:47:09take Mr. Peterson home.
00:47:11You know what, actually,
00:47:13I'd rather not have my father know I'm home yet,
00:47:14if that's all right.
00:47:16I told him he could stay here,
00:47:18at the B&B.
00:47:20Lani, that is not a good idea.
00:47:22Why?
00:47:24Mom?
00:47:26I don't care.
00:47:35A little extra blanket here,
00:47:37and you'll make yourself right at home.
00:47:39But I gotta be honest,
00:47:41I don't think you being here is a good thing.
00:47:42Yeah, I got that impression from your whole family.
00:47:45Look, Caleb, you were always nice to me,
00:47:48but when you disappeared,
00:47:50it was more than my sister you hurt.
00:47:52We all had to pick up the pieces.
00:47:54Understood.
00:47:56This has been a lot for all of us to take in.
00:47:58Well, the only way you're gonna gain my daddy's trust
00:48:01is through actions,
00:48:03not words.
00:48:05So make an effort.
00:48:07Will do.
00:48:09Thank you for the advice.
00:48:10I'm sorry, Mom.
00:48:12I just, I didn't want you to talk.
00:48:14I'm mad at him.
00:48:16So you decided to bring him back here
00:48:18without so much as a little heads up, huh?
00:48:21I just want to get to know him, Mom.
00:48:23I know what you want, Lani,
00:48:25but you know what?
00:48:27It's not always about you.
00:48:29Do you ever stop to think for one second
00:48:31how it might affect the rest of us?
00:48:33Poor Henry's in the middle of proposing again
00:48:35because you didn't care, did you?
00:48:37I'm sorry, I didn't know.
00:48:39Caleb could have come back.
00:48:42He knew exactly where I was.
00:48:44But he didn't, did he?
00:48:47I was here raising you.
00:48:50Do you know how long
00:48:52I waited for him to walk through that door?
00:48:54Or how I jumped every time the phone rang
00:48:56and I was hoping it would be him.
00:49:00I'm glad you found him, honey.
00:49:02I'm so glad.
00:49:04I really am.
00:49:06You got what you wanted,
00:49:08and I can't wait for one second
00:49:10that the rest of us are going to share
00:49:12in your same enthusiasm.
00:49:14Excuse me.
00:49:15I'll be right back.
00:49:46♪
00:49:48♪
00:49:50Are you the real thing
00:49:52♪
00:49:54♪
00:49:56That I've been dreaming of
00:49:58♪
00:50:00♪
00:50:02Where your eyes shined on me
00:50:04♪
00:50:06Had me taken from the start
00:50:08♪
00:50:10♪
00:50:12♪
00:50:13♪
00:50:15♪
00:50:17We just bought all
00:50:19Tap Peterson's livestock, you know?
00:50:21Yeah.
00:50:23Something just doesn't seem right.
00:50:25No, the rancher community
00:50:27is like its own ecosystem.
00:50:29One piece of the food chain
00:50:31disappears and it affects everyone.
00:50:33♪
00:50:35♪
00:50:37♪
00:50:39Yeah, his name is Caleb Peterson.
00:50:41This is just a hunch.
00:50:43Let me know if you find anything, okay?
00:50:45♪
00:50:47♪
00:50:49Think I'm being silly?
00:50:51♪
00:50:53♪
00:50:55♪
00:50:57♪
00:50:59♪
00:51:01♪
00:51:03♪
00:51:05♪
00:51:07I've been looking all over for you.
00:51:09We got the chandeliers off
00:51:11and they look great.
00:51:13Cheers.
00:51:15Ha ha.
00:51:17Are you okay?
00:51:19♪
00:51:21Look,
00:51:23I think you're a wonderful woman.
00:51:26You're smart,
00:51:28you're beautiful,
00:51:30you're fun.
00:51:32But?
00:51:34But, uh,
00:51:36soon it would have been
00:51:38my 50th anniversary
00:51:40with my late wife.
00:51:41♪
00:51:43Been eight years since I lost her.
00:51:45Seems like eight days.
00:51:47♪
00:51:49It's hard to move on.
00:51:51Yeah, it's hard.
00:51:53♪
00:51:55I completely understand.
00:51:57♪
00:51:59Friends?
00:52:01♪
00:52:03Friends is good.
00:52:05Friends is good.
00:52:07♪
00:52:09♪
00:52:11♪
00:52:13♪
00:52:15♪
00:52:17♪
00:52:19♪
00:52:21So how long are you going to keep ignoring me?
00:52:24Well, I figure I owe you.
00:52:26How many years now?
00:52:28Touche.
00:52:30Hmm.
00:52:31♪
00:52:33Ahem.
00:52:35You know, I haven't even been on a horse since I left here.
00:52:37Isn't that crazy?
00:52:39It is crazy, because you are a natural rider.
00:52:41Thank you, but never as good as you, though.
00:52:44Good to know that time has given you a bit of perspective on things.
00:52:47Time tends to give one perspective on a lot of things.
00:52:50It does, doesn't it?
00:52:52Yeah.
00:52:54Ride with me, please.
00:52:56I've been wanting to talk to you ever since I got back.
00:52:59♪
00:53:01You know how to saddle a horse, don't you?
00:53:03Good girl.
00:53:05♪
00:53:07♪
00:53:09♪
00:53:11♪
00:53:13♪
00:53:15♪
00:53:17♪
00:53:19♪
00:53:21♪
00:53:23♪
00:53:25♪
00:53:27♪
00:53:28♪
00:53:30♪
00:53:32♪
00:53:34♪
00:53:36♪
00:53:38♪
00:53:40I thought you wanted to talk.
00:53:42I'm just enjoying the moment.
00:53:44How are you and Lenny getting along?
00:53:46Really good.
00:53:48You know what? She's an amazing girl.
00:53:50She's not a girl anymore. She's a woman.
00:53:52Hey, Becca, you did a great job raising her.
00:53:55Yeah, I did the best I could.
00:53:56Made no mistakes along the way.
00:53:58If I had a pebble for every mistake I made,
00:54:00I'd have a whole mountain to read.
00:54:02You still talk like a cowboy, don't you?
00:54:04I do.
00:54:06Wow.
00:54:08Wow.
00:54:10Did you think I forgot?
00:54:13We were just kids, weren't we?
00:54:15It was real, though, wasn't it?
00:54:19It was on my end. I'm not so sure about yours.
00:54:23I've never had that feeling again.
00:54:24I miss those days.
00:54:30You've done quite well for yourself.
00:54:33Grown up quite nicely, Captain Peterson.
00:54:35Is that right?
00:54:38Don't go getting a big head and all.
00:54:41You know,
00:54:43I thought about what it would be like
00:54:45to see her after all these years.
00:54:48You know, Becca, you're just as beautiful now
00:54:50as you were back then.
00:54:52You're still slick, aren't you?
00:54:55What exactly did you expect coming back here?
00:54:58I don't know.
00:55:00Being back here and seeing you
00:55:02and meeting Lenny,
00:55:04I mean, it does make me wonder.
00:55:07You don't get to saunter back in here
00:55:09and wonder you lost that privilege.
00:55:13That's a trap.
00:55:17I'm sorry.
00:55:18Come on.
00:55:28Well, hey, that's a nice surprise.
00:55:33What's wrong?
00:55:35I saw you with Caleb.
00:55:37Yeah, he wanted to talk,
00:55:39so we went for a ride.
00:55:42You okay?
00:55:44Of course it's okay.
00:55:46You've got a lot to talk about.
00:55:48Well,
00:55:50you know, he's matured a little bit,
00:55:52but I'm still the same old Caleb.
00:55:54Yeah.
00:55:56That's what I'm afraid of.
00:55:58You like the old Caleb.
00:56:00The old me like the old Caleb.
00:56:04Still,
00:56:07maybe it's best we press pause for a bit.
00:56:10Let you figure everything out.
00:56:12Press pause?
00:56:14I mean, honey,
00:56:16there's a little bit crazy around here,
00:56:18but it has nothing to do with us.
00:56:20It has everything to do with us.
00:56:22We can't pretend otherwise.
00:56:24What are you saying?
00:56:26I'm saying we need to give you some time to think.
00:56:28I don't need time to think.
00:56:30Maybe I do.
00:56:32I love you, Rebecca,
00:56:34but I won't be the consolation prize.
00:56:37The wedding is postponed for now.
00:56:49Ah,
00:56:51by the way, something I've got to tell you,
00:56:53that the, um,
00:56:55the wedding's off.
00:56:57What? What happened?
00:57:01Henry feels that he needs a little time
00:57:03and thinks that I don't want this.
00:57:05Yep.
00:57:07Well, what do you want, then?
00:57:11I want to marry Henry Whitlock.
00:57:13You want to marry Henry Whitlock?
00:57:15Yeah.
00:57:16I want to marry Henry Whitlock.
00:57:22If there's one thing that, uh,
00:57:24Caleb being here has shown me,
00:57:26it's that I, uh,
00:57:28it's that I really do love,
00:57:30I really do love Henry.
00:57:32Then what are you waiting for?
00:57:34He always taught me
00:57:36a woman can do anything a man can do.
00:57:38So go and get him, Mom.
00:57:40Will you do listen?
00:57:47Go do some chores.
00:57:49Okay.
00:58:00Well, we hate to see you go.
00:58:02Travel safe.
00:58:06Please don't go, Miss Claudia.
00:58:08Aw, little buddy.
00:58:10You take good care of these folks, okay?
00:58:17Here you have to go?
00:58:19If there's no wedding,
00:58:21I'm not really needed here.
00:58:23Well, things could change.
00:58:25Cold feet,
00:58:27they warm real fast.
00:58:32You're a good man, John.
00:58:34I wish you all the best here.
00:58:46Bye.
00:59:06Dad, you've accomplished so much.
00:59:08I never thought I would be here for this long,
00:59:10but here I am.
00:59:12Ah, you're young.
00:59:14If you want to pursue your dreams, you should.
00:59:16You know,
00:59:18don't you let anything stand in your way.
00:59:21I know, but sometimes
00:59:23what we thought we wanted can change.
00:59:25Like my mom and Henry,
00:59:27the wedding was on, and now it's off.
00:59:30Your mom called off the wedding?
00:59:32No, it was Henry.
00:59:34Ah.
00:59:40Lenny,
00:59:42I'm not sure how much longer
00:59:44I should stick around here.
00:59:46I feel like me being here
00:59:48is just opening up a bunch of old wounds.
00:59:51Oh.
00:59:53No, not for me.
00:59:55It's actually, it's quite the opposite.
00:59:57I don't want you to leave.
01:00:04This is a little slice of heaven.
01:00:06Yeah, it is.
01:00:10Oh.
01:00:12Here you go.
01:00:17This is considerably short.
01:00:20Right, um,
01:00:22that's about all I could get for right now.
01:00:26I really would, uh,
01:00:28need a little extension.
01:00:30You had time.
01:00:32The terms of our agreement
01:00:34will go into effect at the end of business
01:00:36in two days.
01:00:40Hey, Henry.
01:00:42Caleb.
01:00:44How can I help you?
01:00:46I heard you called off the wedding.
01:00:49Yeah, just
01:00:51didn't seem quite right.
01:00:54Well, I wanted to come by, Henry,
01:00:56and I wanted to apologize to you
01:00:58if my showing up
01:01:00had anything to do with that decision.
01:01:02She couldn't do any better for herself
01:01:04than marrying you.
01:01:06And I can tell that she really loves you,
01:01:08that you guys are right for each other.
01:01:10I appreciate you coming over here, Caleb.
01:01:13I admit,
01:01:14seeing you back here
01:01:16brings out all kinds of insecurities
01:01:18I haven't felt in years.
01:01:20But this is about Rebecca,
01:01:22what she wants.
01:01:24I made the call,
01:01:26but it's really her choice now.
01:01:28We're not kids anymore.
01:01:30Ain't that the truth.
01:01:33And you know what?
01:01:35I never thought
01:01:37that you could stay in this town
01:01:39and be happy.
01:01:41But I look at you, Henry,
01:01:42and I see a man with a good life.
01:01:46Yeah, I do.
01:01:48I expect that.
01:01:51Thanks for coming by.
01:01:56Are you sure it was Corey Price?
01:01:59Okay.
01:02:01All right, thank you, Billy.
01:02:03I appreciate it.
01:02:13Hey, partner.
01:02:15Come for your mints?
01:02:17Here.
01:02:19Uh, actually,
01:02:21can I ask you a question, Grandpa?
01:02:23Of course.
01:02:25Any time.
01:02:27Uh, how do you know
01:02:29when you love a girl?
01:02:31Oh, that's a big one.
01:02:33That's a big one.
01:02:35You got some little girl
01:02:37that you're, uh,
01:02:39you got your eye on?
01:02:40Well, how do you feel
01:02:42when you're around Brooke?
01:02:44She was really weird.
01:02:46Like, I just ate a big bowl of spaghetti.
01:02:48Oh.
01:02:50And, uh, and do you feel that way
01:02:52around any of your other friends?
01:02:54Hmm, could be serious.
01:02:56That, uh, that spaghetti feeling
01:02:58is hard to find.
01:03:00So what do you think I should do?
01:03:02Well,
01:03:04the best thing always is
01:03:06be honest, right?
01:03:08So be nice,
01:03:10and just tell her how you feel.
01:03:12And if she don't respond,
01:03:14then at least you give it
01:03:16your best shot, right?
01:03:18Okay, thanks, Grandpa.
01:03:20Okay, kiddo.
01:03:22Hey, dropped your mint.
01:03:28I found it!
01:03:30Grandpa, I found the ring!
01:03:32Hey!
01:03:34I have to go and tell Aunt Rebecca.
01:03:36Yeah, yeah, go, go.
01:03:41John, Rebecca.
01:03:43How you doing?
01:03:45I hope you guys are enjoying the food.
01:03:47You bet.
01:03:49What ever happened to those cops
01:03:51that came out to your place?
01:03:53Tappan and I heard it on the scanner.
01:03:55Said he was going to help you.
01:03:57Why would he do that?
01:03:59I don't know.
01:04:01It was just a mix-up, I think.
01:04:03Well, I got some fresh peach cobbler
01:04:05in the back when you guys are ready.
01:04:07Oh.
01:04:08Yeah, we'll do that.
01:04:10Enjoy.
01:04:12Thanks, Tony.
01:04:14Maybe he really was trying to help.
01:04:16Maybe he was.
01:04:24My family means everything to me.
01:04:26I hope you know that.
01:04:28I do.
01:04:30So then you understand
01:04:32that I need to trust the people
01:04:34in our lives.
01:04:36Now you come back here
01:04:38shaking things up,
01:04:40you know,
01:04:42playing with emotions.
01:04:44This is about the wedding.
01:04:46I didn't have anything to do with that.
01:04:48It's not about the wedding.
01:04:50I made some calls.
01:04:52You've got to be honest
01:04:54about who you are.
01:04:56You want to remain around here,
01:04:58my suggestion is
01:05:00you get straight with your daughter.
01:05:08You tell them I'm going to pay them back.
01:05:10All right? In full.
01:05:12I don't know how and I don't know when,
01:05:14but I'm going to do it.
01:05:16No matter what it takes.
01:05:18What do you mean entire debts been paid?
01:05:20You have your father to thank.
01:05:22My father?
01:05:24Paid the entire debt full?
01:05:26Yep, he did.
01:05:28We're good. Anything else?
01:05:30No, no.
01:05:39Hello, Dad.
01:05:41Son.
01:05:47Hey, big boy.
01:06:01I love you, Dad.
01:06:03I love you too, son.
01:06:05Hey, come on.
01:06:06Come on.
01:06:08Let's just go inside and have a drink.
01:06:10All right.
01:06:12Glad you're home, son.
01:06:26Come on in.
01:06:28Thank you guys for agreeing to meet with me.
01:06:33Becca,
01:06:34so, Leni,
01:06:36Mr. Landsberg has been kind enough
01:06:39to help me to understand that
01:06:41if you and I are going to have a fresh start,
01:06:43then I need to complain with you
01:06:45about a few things.
01:06:47Like what?
01:06:49So I've done some things in my life
01:06:51that I'm not proud of
01:06:53and found myself in a hole of debt
01:06:55that I couldn't get out of,
01:06:57so I did what I do best
01:06:59and I skipped town.
01:07:01Now, since then,
01:07:02I have been living an honest,
01:07:04quiet life,
01:07:06but I've been looking over my shoulder all the time
01:07:08because I knew eventually
01:07:10they'd catch up with me and find me
01:07:12and, well,
01:07:14they caught up with me
01:07:16and they found me.
01:07:18Well, thank you.
01:07:22For coming clean.
01:07:24That's something your father could never do.
01:07:27You know, my father is not as bad a guy
01:07:29as you think he is.
01:07:30You know, he paid that debt for me.
01:07:32Yeah, now it's come clear.
01:07:35And to do so,
01:07:37he had to borrow a huge sum of money
01:07:39from a private lender in the city.
01:07:41Let me guess.
01:07:43Couldn't pay his lenders.
01:07:45He gave him what he could from the auction
01:07:47and he gave him everything else he had,
01:07:49but come tomorrow,
01:07:51if he doesn't pay the entire thing,
01:07:53then they're going to own that ranch.
01:07:55He put it all on the line for me.
01:07:58Everything
01:08:00he's worked his whole entire life.
01:08:03This whole thing is
01:08:05is my fault.
01:08:08Isn't that what you always say, Grandpa?
01:08:10Family first, ranch second.
01:08:12Isn't that what you say?
01:08:14Isn't that exactly what Tap is doing for his son?
01:08:19Yes, it is.
01:08:21Can we help him, Grandpa?
01:08:25What's the name of that lender?
01:08:27Tap Peterson.
01:08:29He's our family,
01:08:31so how much are we talking?
01:08:36His outstanding debt is $450,000.
01:08:39Are you kidding me?
01:08:42That is a lot of money,
01:08:44and Dad, are you sure we can do this?
01:08:46We're honest people.
01:08:48We work hard to put food on your table.
01:08:50We're trustworthy, see?
01:08:52I'm sure we can do this.
01:08:53We work hard to put food on your table.
01:08:55We're trustworthy, see?
01:08:57I'm sure you are,
01:08:59but the terms of his loan are clear.
01:09:01He has until 5 p.m. tomorrow to pay in full,
01:09:03or the loan defaults and his property is ours.
01:09:05But that's not fair.
01:09:07His land is worth way more than that.
01:09:09What are you people doing here?
01:09:11Dad, this is my affair, not yours.
01:09:14Easy, easy.
01:09:16Dad, I told him why you need the money,
01:09:18that it's my fault.
01:09:20It's nothing to do with you.
01:09:21It's my business,
01:09:23and if I want to burn it down, son, I will.
01:09:29Rebecca, put the word out.
01:09:31Tell the town folks to meet us at the Barnard Free.
01:09:33Okay, what are you thinking, Dad?
01:09:35I like you there, Dad.
01:09:49There's always a way.
01:09:52Got a little time still.
01:09:56How much do we still need?
01:09:58Well, with the co-op money,
01:10:00we still need $150,000.
01:10:03Where is everyone?
01:10:05They'll be here.
01:10:19There we go.
01:10:21See?
01:10:23I knew you'd be the first to show.
01:10:25I knew it.
01:10:27Good to see you.
01:10:29Oh, there she is.
01:10:31I'm glad you showed up,
01:10:33because I know you've got piles of money.
01:10:35Good to see you.
01:10:37Very kind of you to be here.
01:10:39Everybody knows what we're here for.
01:10:41Thanks for coming.
01:10:43Good to see you.
01:10:45That's a good group.
01:10:47We all know why we're here.
01:10:48Peterson is better than most.
01:10:50I know that he can be a pain in the rear.
01:10:52And he feels the same way about me.
01:10:55But, you know, his ranch is in jeopardy,
01:10:58and he's too proud to ask for help.
01:11:01So I'll just be the one to ask.
01:11:05You know, the Peterson family
01:11:07started this community, really.
01:11:09You know, we all benefited from it.
01:11:11And I know it could be you needing help,
01:11:13could be me needing help.
01:11:15And I know if that ever happens,
01:11:16I know that Tab Peterson will be there for you.
01:11:20So I'm releasing the emergency co-op funds to him.
01:11:25Anyone have any objections to that,
01:11:28you can speak up right now.
01:11:34Good for you.
01:11:36Now, listen.
01:11:38Daddy asked me to buy up all of Tab's livestock.
01:11:43Now, we didn't do it for us.
01:11:44We're not keeping that livestock.
01:11:46We did it for Tab.
01:11:48We did it for all of us.
01:11:50We did it for the community,
01:11:52so that no one could come in here and buy it up
01:11:54and split us all up.
01:11:56But even with that money also that's there,
01:11:58and the co-op money,
01:12:00it's just not going to be enough.
01:12:02Now, y'all are the most generous,
01:12:04the kindest people we know.
01:12:06So if you could just look into your hearts,
01:12:08do a little soul-searching,
01:12:10give what you can,
01:12:12be mighty kind.
01:12:14It's all up here.
01:12:20See it? Oh, look.
01:12:23It's not much, but it's all we've got.
01:12:26I hope it helps.
01:12:31Wow. What?
01:12:33That was going towards a new bale splitter,
01:12:36but we can make do with an old one.
01:12:45Come on, people.
01:12:47Tap Peterson helped out everybody in this barn
01:12:49in one way or another.
01:13:15Nice speech.
01:13:17Hey, what are you doing here?
01:13:19Rebecca called me.
01:13:21Oh, so glad to see you.
01:13:23Excuse me.
01:13:25She's waiting at the bank.
01:13:27She's closing soon. How much we got?
01:13:29How much we got?
01:13:40It's not enough, Daddy.
01:13:42Nowhere near enough.
01:13:44How much?
01:13:46We need 66K.
01:13:48Oh, boy.
01:13:50Sorry, Emily.
01:13:52Did you make it?
01:13:54No, we're still short.
01:13:56How much you need?
01:13:5866K.
01:14:00Okay.
01:14:03Although I guess this means
01:14:05we aren't going to the Maldives.
01:14:10Henry?
01:14:11I've told you I have some savings.
01:14:13I've been a bachelor for 25 years.
01:14:16Henry, are you sure about this?
01:14:20Kayla, this is for you.
01:14:23Consider that a thank you gift.

01:19:28on a lot of lost moments
01:19:30with my lovely daughter.
01:19:32I like that.

01:20:44I'll give you back every penny.
01:20:46And them nice people in there, too, of course.

01:21:08I bought something for, uh,
01:21:10Becca and Henry.
01:21:12A little gift, if you don't mind.
01:21:14Here you go.
01:21:15Maddie!
01:21:20Wow, Ted.
01:21:22This is serious.
01:21:24That's a fine horse.
01:21:26That's a champion reining horse, huh?
01:21:28Yes, sir.
01:21:31That's some horse.
01:21:33That's from the heart.
01:21:35It's a fine gift, Ted.
01:21:38So, does this mean we're friends?
01:21:40Uh-huh.
