THE MOSQUITOES HAVE BEEN VERY ANNOYING,

SO I'M GOING TO START ON MY PROJECT: THE ZAPPER HAT.

BASICALLY, IT IS A REGULAR TOP HAT.

YOU PUSH THIS LITTLE BUTTON, AND WHEN IT POPS UP,

INSIDE IS A BUG ZAPPER.

IS THAT A BUG ZAPPER ON A HAT?

LOOK, THEY'RE JUST GOING RIGHT UP INTO THE HAT.

IT IS MY DECREE THAT ON THIS DAY,

NOAH HAS INVENTED ONE OF THE GREATEST

INVENTIONS OF ALL MANKIND,

AND HIS EFFORTS SHALL NOT GO IN VAIN

NOR SHALL THEY PERISH FROM THIS BATTLEFIELD.

ON THIS SEASON OF "ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE"...

HEY, IT LOOKS GOOD FROM UP HERE.

YOU LOOK JUST LIKE A DOLPHIN, BIRD.

...THE BROWN FAMILY MAKES THEIR LONG-AWAITED RETURN...

- YES! - ... TO THE WILD.

THIS IS WHERE I BELONG. THIS IS MY TRUE HOME,

IN THE WOODS AND THE FOREST WITH THE ANIMALS.

WITH THE NEW PROPERTY, WE CAN HAVE AN ACTUAL RANCH.

WE'RE THINKING ABOUT BARNS, HORSES, CATTLE.

TIMBER! OH, THAT FEELS GOOD.

BEAUTIFUL. THAT'S HOW WE ROLL.

YEAH!

OH, YEAH.

I'M HOME!

BUT THEIR 400-ACRE MOUNTAIN PARADISE...

IT'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT THIS LITTLE SPOT.

IT HAS A LITTLE BIT OF MAGIC TO IT.

IT'S A MIRACLE, IS WHAT IT IS.

...BRINGS NEW CHALLENGES...

- ROGER, ROGER. OH, MAN. - DAD!

I HAVE THIS THING ABOUT SNAKES. YEAH.

I'M NOT SURE I'VE EVER SEEN A FLOOD BEFORE.

THAT'S A LAKE IN THE ROAD.

WHERE WE COME FROM, EVERY TIME THERE'S A PROBLEM,

EVERYONE COMES OUT TO HELP.

...THAT WILL MAKE THEIR WOLFPACK STRONGER

THAN EVER BEFORE.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE BEING BORN AGAIN

AND GETTING TO START A NEW LIFE AGAIN.

♪♪

THIS IS HISTORIC AS FAR AS THE BROWN FAMILY GOES.

RIGHT NOW, I HAVE A NEW LEASE ON LIFE.

I HAVE A NEW LEASE ON THE LIFE THAT WE LOVE,

THE LIFE THAT WE WANT.

GO!

IT'S TIME TO GET BACK TO THE BUSH.

FAITH IN GOD AND FAMILY, NOTHING IS GOING TO STOP THE BROWNS.

THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS.

FREEDOM!

THESE ARE ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE.

THE FAMILY WAS FORCED BACK TO CALIFORNIA

AND HIM SEEING THAT, HE PAYS MORE ATTENTION TO ME.

DUDE, LOOK HOW NICELY IT'S WORKING.

BEAUTIFUL.

I THINK EVERYONE CHANGES EVERY DAY, YOU KNOW,

WITH THE EXPERIENCES THAT YOU HAVE.

WE'RE STARTING OVER. IT'S IN A NEW PLACE.

IT'S ANOTHER ADVENTURE. ALL RIGHT.

SO CAN I BURY IT NOW, BAM?

YEAH, GO FOR IT.

MATT AND I ARE BROTHERS.

WE ALWAYS WILL BE, AND THOUGH WE'VE NOT ALWAYS

GOTTEN ALONG IN THE PAST...

ALL RIGHT. WOO!

...IT'S ALL ABOUT COMING BACK TOGETHER AS A FAMILY IN THE END.

A TEST RUN.

OH, YEAH.

BEAUTIFUL.

MAN, WE ARE GOOD TO GO.

BEAUTIFUL. YEAH, MAN.

THAT'S THE WAY WE DO THINGS.

YEAH, THAT'S HOW WE ROLL.

WE WERE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, PULL TOGETHER AND JUST GET IT DONE,

AND WE HAVE A COUPLE MOUNDS OF GRAVEL

AT THE BASE OF THE MOUNTAIN.

WE CAN GO BACK FOR MORE GRAVEL

AND JUST CONTINUE TO DO THE WHOLE ROAD.

-THE KIDS' WORK IS PUT TO THE TEST...

I'M GLAD HE GOT TO COME HOME AND KNOW THAT I DIDN'T LEAVE HIM.

...AND THE BROWN FAMILY LOSES ONE OF ITS OWN.

DUDE, LOOK AT HOW NICELY IT'S WORKING.

- BEAUTIFUL. - WOO!

WITH THEIR MAKESHIFT CULVERT COMPLETED,

BROTHER BAM SETS OUT TO UPDATE FATHER BILLY,

WHO CONTINUES HIS HUNT TO SECURE A TRAILER IN TOWN.

SURE ARE SOME FRIENDLY DRIVERS AROUND HERE.

BUT BACK ON THE MOUNTAIN, ADDITIONAL ROADWORK

HAS COME TO A HALT AS A TRAGEDY STRIKES AT BASE CAMP.

- ABOUT THERE? - YEAH.

CAN I START WITH THE SHOVEL?

YEAH, SURE.

HE WAS A COOL CAT. THAT'S FOR SURE.

HE'S IN A BETTER PLACE.

ONE OF MY CATS ACTUALLY ENDED UP DYING, CHIPMUNK CHEEKS.

HE GOT HIT BY A CAR.

THIS IS CHIPMUNK CHEEKS

HE IS ON THE LAND STILL.

YOU KNOW, HE MADE IT WITH US, LITTLE KITTY ANGEL,

YOU KNOW, SEE HIM AGAIN SOMEDAY.

HE'S IN A BETTER PLACE.

ARE WE USING THE TOTE FOR A COFFIN,

OR ARE WE GOING TO LAY HIM IN THE COFFIN?

GABE, I THINK THAT'S ABOUT THERE, BRO.

- YEAH, GABE. WE'RE GOOD. - YEAH.

MR. CHIPMUNK CHEEKS IS IN A BETTER PLACE,

AND I FEEL THAT MY LIFE HAS HAD MORE LOVE

AND MEANING WITH HIM HAVING BEEN IN IT.

I'M GLAD HE GOT TO COME HOME AND KNOW THAT I DIDN'T LEAVE HIM.

WE GOT TO CUDDLE.

I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT GOD GETS TO ENJOY WHAT I DID.

MR. CHIPMUNK CHEEKS, YOU WERE A REALLY GREAT CAT.

YOU WERE A REALLY GOOD CAT, YOU KNOW?

YOU KEPT MICE OUT OF THE HOUSE.

YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE FOR A GOOD PET, A GOOD CUDDLE,

- LET'S GO, GUYS. - YEAH.

THE NEXT MORNING, A SNOWSTORM

TAKES THE FAMILY BY SURPRISE.

THERE WAS REALLY BAD WIND LAST NIGHT.

I MEAN, IT'S SPRING.

THERE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SNOW RIGHT NOW.

NIGHTS ON THE MOUNTAIN BRING VOLATILE TEMPERATURE SWINGS,

AND WINTER STORM SURGES REMAIN A LINGERING THREAT

AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

I'M KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT ALL OF OUR REPAIRS HOLD.

AS THE WARM AFTERNOON SUN ACCELERATES THE RUNOFF,

DOWN MOUNTAIN, BILLY HAS CONCERNS OF HIS OWN

AFTER STRIKING A DEAL WITH A LOCAL

FOR MOTHER AMI'S TRAILER.

I MADE THE BEST DEAL I COULD MAKE,

BUT STILL IT COST MONEY, BUT IT IS A NECESSITY.

IT HAS TO BE THERE. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

THE BIGGEST THING IS, I DON'T KNOW

HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET IT UP THERE, TO BE HONEST.

I REALLY DON'T.

IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THAT BIG OF A THING,

YOU KNOW, A LITTLE WATER RUNNING DOWN A ROAD, BUT IT IS.

THE DREAM IS ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN.

NONE OF IT WORKS IF AMI CAN'T GET BACK

WHERE SHE BELONGS AND ENVISION THE FUTURE AGAIN.

THE ONLY THING WE'RE TRYING TO DO NOW IS TO GET

AM UP THERE SO, YOU KNOW, I CAN OPEN HER DOOR,

HELP HER OUT OF THE CAR AND GO, "LOOK, BABE. THIS IS OURS."

DELIVERY DAY FOR MOTHER AMI'S TRAILER HAS ARRIVED,

BUT CONDITIONS ON THE MOUNTAIN HAVE WORSENED.

GUYS, LET'S CUT RIGHT THROUGH HERE.

WE JUST NEED ENOUGH WHERE HE TO MAKE THE SWING.

IT'S LIKE ICE.

OW! THAT IS ICE.

THE GUY WHO'S BRINGING UP THE TRAILER TODAY,

HE SHOULD'VE BEEN HERE A COUPLE HOURS AGO,

AND I'M ACTUALLY KIND OF GETTING CONCERNED RIGHT NOW.

FIVE MILES DOWN MOUNTAIN,

THE MUDDY ROAD HAS BROUGHT THE TRAILER TO A HALT,

AND IT'S FORCED TO WAIT FOR A BULLDOZER

TO TOW IT UP THE FINAL STRETCH.

♪♪

GABE, DO YOU HEAR THAT?

YEAH, IT'S PROBABLY THE TRAILER.

WHEN MOM AND DAD COME BACK,

WE WANT IT TO BE REALLY COMFORTABLE.

WHEN THEY LEFT, WE DIDN'T HAVE A TRAILER OR ANYTHING.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IT NICE ENOUGH UP HERE

THAT THEY'LL HAVE SOMEWHERE TO LIVE.

♪♪

THAT'S GOOD.

THIS ROAD HAS BEEN A HECK OF A THING.

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND I, WE PUT IN SOME WORK.

WE REALLY HAVE, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE

THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, GUYS.

LOOK AT THIS.

MOM, DAD!

ARE THEY IN THERE?

NO, I WISH.

WITH THE SHELTER IN PLACE,

THE CONDITIONS ARE FINALLY SAFE FOR MOTHER AMI

TO RETURN TO THE MOUNTAIN.

GOD, I LOVE THAT.

TO MARK THE REUNION ON THEIR NEW LAND,

THE KIDS GEAR UP FOR A VERY SPECIAL SURPRISE.

RIGHT NOW, WE'RE BUILDING A DECK ONTO THE TRAILER SO THAT

MOM IS NOT HAVING TO GO UP AND DOWN STAIRS CONSTANTLY.

A BOSTONIAN ACCENT IS REALLY FUN,

ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE DOING CARPENTRY.

"I WALK INTO A PLACE. I'M DRINKING JUICE.

I SPILL IT ON THE CARPET. I HAVE TO GET MY CAR,

GO GET IT FIXED. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?"

IT MAKES IT FEEL MORE LIKE A HOME, YOU KNOW?

IT MAKES IT FEEL LESS LIKE A TRAILER ON A MOUNTAIN

IN SOME MUD AND MORE LIKE IT'S AN ACTUAL HOME.

GABE, GOOD WAY TO GET IT ALL MUDDED UP.

SO DIRTY NOW.

- OH, GOD. OH, MY GOODNESS.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

...AS BILLY AND AMI ATTEMPT

TO REUNITE WITH THE FAMILY...

DADGUM.

...THE WOLFPACK'S DREAM ON THE MOUNTAIN IS IN JEOPARDY.

I DON'T KNOW, BABE. I'M SERIOUS AS HECK. I DON'T KNOW.

I CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE.

MAN, HOW DID WE USE TO WALK THROUGH THIS ALL THE TIME?

EVER SINCE WE'VE BEEN SPENDING SO MUCH TIME IN CALIFORNIA,

I'VE BEEN GETTING REALLY, LIKE, OUT OF SHAPE.

GO, GO.

I RECRUITED RAINY GIRL AS MY PERSONAL TRAINER

TO GET ME BACK INTO SHAPE.

IT WAS A MISTAKE.

THROW YOURSELF IN THE SNOW, AND THEN PUSH YOURSELF BACK OUT.

KEEP YOUR BACK STRAIGHT.

BRR.

THERE WE GO.

- OW. - KEEP FIRM.

OW, I THINK I JUST BROKE MY LEG.

HEY, GUYS.

WE CAN HIDE ALL THE TOOLS UNDER THE WHAT?

- PORCH. - PORCH.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE CALLING IT A PORCH. IT'S A STOOP.

IT'S A SURFACE. WE'LL CALL IT A SURFACE.

WITH A SECURE SHELTER IN PLACE, THE BROWNS' NEW PROPERTY

IS READY FOR THE FAMILY MATRIARCH'S RETURN.

HAPPY TRAIL.

HAPPY TRAIL, BABY GIRL.

AND AFTER SWAPPING VEHICLES WITH BAM A DAY EARLIER

FOR THE MORE CAPABLE FARM TRUCK,

BILLY AND AMI WILL DEPEND ON THE ROAD REPAIRS

MADE TO THEIR 7-MILE MOUNTAIN PASS.

- OKAY. - OH, MY GOODNESS.

- YOU ALL RIGHT? - YEAH.

TO ACTUALLY TAKING THEM UP THERE WHERE SHE CAN STAY

IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THERE IS.

JUST KEEP MOVING, TRUCK.

DADGUM.

BABY, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS.

I DON'T KNOW, BABE. I'M SERIOUS AS HECK.

I DON'T KNOW.

THREE MILES INTO THEIR ASCENT,

MOMENTUM GRINDS TO A HALT.

HEY, COME ON, HONEY.

I WON'T GET THIS FAR AND GET STUCK UP HERE.

AMI LOOKS AT THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

SHE'S ALWAYS WANTING TO KNOW

WHAT'S IN THE VALLEY ON THE OTHER SIDE.

ALL RIGHT. IT'S A PIECE OF CAKE NOW.

IT NEVER WAS ME PUSHING TO SEE WHAT'S OVER THAT OTHER HILL.

IT WAS ALWAYS AMI.

THEY DID A LOT OF WORK, DIDN'T THEY?

- THEY KEPT BUSY. - THEY GOT DOWN ON THIS.

OUR GUYS ARE PRETTY GOOD, AREN'T THEY?

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. IF THAT'S THE WORST PART WE GOT,

WE MIGHT MAKE IT ALIVE.

NICE. YEAH, MAN. BUSH BROOM.

MOM IS GOING TO REALLY TRIP.

YEAH, SHE IS.

BAM, DO WE KNOW WHEN THEY'RE COMING?

I'M HOPING MOM'S REACTION

WHEN SHE SEES THE TRAILER AND EVERYTHING,

TO CRY, TO BE HONEST, BECAUSE IF SHE CRIES,

THAT IS THE BEST REACTION YOU COULD GET

BECAUSE IT'S NOT, LIKE, A SAD CRY.

IT'S A HAPPY CRY.

GUYS, DO Y'ALL HEAR A CAR?

- TO YOUR STATIONS. - RUN, MATT! RUN!

- TO YOUR STATIONS! - RUN, RUN, RUN!

I'M RUNNING! I'M RUNNING!

THEY'RE WAITING ON US. LOOK AT THIS.

AWW. LOOKING NONCHALANT.

PELT THEM! PELT THEM!

OH, NO. THE DOOR IS OPEN.

OH, MY GOSH. WHAT HAVE Y'ALL BEEN DOING?

LOOK AT THAT PORCH.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

OH, KIDS, YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME CRY AGAIN.

YEAH, IT'S PRETTY GOOD, EH?

THEY WORKED SO HARD, AND IT WAS THE BIGGEST SURPRISE.

I HAD NO IDEA, AND IT WAS JUST SO EMOTIONAL.

OH, MY. OH, Y'ALL.

OH, MY. LOOK.

LOOK, A DREAM CATCHER AND A TEDDY, TWO TEDDY BEARS.

MAN, Y'ALL ARE TOO MUCH.

THAT'S THE LOVE AND APPRECIATION THAT THEY SHOWED ME,

AND IT WAS REALLY GREAT.

THANK YOU, GUYS, VERY MUCH.

FROM THE FIREPIT AND BENCHES TO EVERYTHING,

I MEAN, IT'S EVERYTHING I COULD HAVE AND MORE.

OH, MOM.

WAIT UNTIL WE GET AN ACTUAL HOUSE, MOM.

YEAH, THIS IS A TRAILER WITH A PORCH.

GROUP HUG. GROUP HUG. GROUP HUG.

- GO TEAM! - YEAH!

YOU KNOW, THIS NEW LAND, IT'S MORE THAN JUST A MOVE.

IT'S A COMPLETE FRESH START FOR EVERYBODY IN THE FAMILY.

WELL, HOW MANY HERE DIDN'T THINK WE'D EVER BE DOING THIS AGAIN?

NOT ME.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE BEING BORN AGAIN

AND STARTING LIFE ANEW, YOU KNOW?

I KNOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT,

AND I KNOW THAT WE ARE THE PIONEERS NOW.

YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE COME IN, IN A WAGON.

I HAVE SUCH GREAT VISIONS FOR THIS.

I MEAN, I WANT A WOODSHOP, YOU KNOW?

I WANT GREENHOUSES. I WANT A 10-ACRE APPLE ORCHARD.

I WANT TO GET TO WHERE, YOU KNOW,

WE'RE LITERALLY LIVING OFF THE LAND,

BUT NOT LIKE WE'VE ALWAYS LIVED OFF THE LAND.

ALASKA GAVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME WHO WE ARE.

THIS GIVES AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD ON WHO WE ARE NOW.

WE CAN FIND WHAT WE WANT HERE,

AND WE CAN BUILD WHAT WE WANT HERE.

WE JUST HAVE TO PERSEVERE. THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.
