All language subtitles for Crossroad Springs s01e03 A Quarry Divided.eng

[James] Hey Dad, are we
taking the cattle up

to Martha's quarry
later for a drink.

Yeah.

Yeah, we might be able to tear
that fence down pretty soon too.

Yeah, how do you figure?

Well, I can't say.

I guess that's on a
need to know basis.

That is correct.

I'm starting to wonder what I
do need to know around here.

Fine. I'll throw you a bone.

I've been talking to Martha
seriously for almost a year now

about buying the quarry.

Really? You kidding?

Not at all. No.

It looks like she's just
about ready to let it go.

I mean, Dad, that's,
that's a huge deal.

You sure we can afford that?

Well, we can't afford not to.

Plus, imagine the look on Daniel
Newman's face when I tell him

he has to start paying us
Hamiltons for water rights.

[Willis laughs]

Well, at least you're doing
it for the right reasons.

Oh, don't get all
touchy about it.

The real reason is
we need the water.

The Newmans needing us,

that's just a little bonus.

Well, Aunt Amy, she must be
relieved and excited about it.

Ah, she doesn't know yet.

She doesn't know.
What about Janet?

Uh, her either.

And don't you go telling them.

I don't want them to get
all excited about it.

Dad, don't you think
you should be running

big decisions by the family?

I'm the one steering this ship.

Sometimes the captain has
to make some tough calls

on their own.

Yeah, I know. But we all
care about this place.

I know that.

I'll tell them, when
the time is right.

Okay.

Hey, wait,

I don't know how to ask this.

But you're not, you know,

you're not leading
her on, are you?

For Pete's sake!

No. Give your head a shake.

Truth is, Martha and I have
been friends a long time.

She's getting on in years.

She doesn't want to take care
of that many acres anymore.

We need the water.
It's a win-win.

Except for the Newmans.

[chuckles]

Oh, don't judge me

because I'm finding a little
humor in the situation.

No judgment from me, Dad.

I get your point.

I'll try not to
enjoy it too much,

when Daniel gets our
official notice in the mail.

[laughs heartily]

[starts tractor]

[Eric] BP is dropping,
70 over 40.

I need a second dose
of epinephrine.

We need to open his airways.

What's he reacting to?

This is going to help
you breathe, sweetie.

No idea. But he was at
a backyard party, so.

Could be food then,
or bee sting.

Peanuts.

[Janet] Oh, thank goodness.

Okay, push IV loratadine
and prep the prednisone.

And another saline bolus.

You're going to
be okay, sweetie.

[Eric] Thank goodness
he's stable.

I don't understand why he
wasn't wearing that bracelet.

[Janet] Ah, he's probably
just trying to fit in.

At least he had it with him.

I haven't seen swelling that
bad since I was an intern.

And that rash spread so quickly.

Yeah.

I think you and I deserve
one of Maggie's sugar donuts.

[chuckles]

I'm way ahead of you.

[Janet] Umm. Oh yeah.

[Janet] That is the stuff.

[Eric] It's so good.

You know, we make a
good team, you and I.

The best.

You ever miss your time
in the emergency room?

Not even a little.

Swore it off after my
internship in Missouri.

So grateful my
brother was there

to help me process
what I was seeing.

It's pretty bad, huh?

Yeah.

God bless those
ER doctors and nurses.

Dr. Norton thinks I should do

a stint at a bigger
city hospital.

Really?

Just to round out my
fellowship, you know,

draw out my experience,
different cases, new equipment.

Great.

It wouldn't be
for quite a while.

Do you think you'd want to
live in a city long term?

I don't know.

Depends on what the job is,
what the circumstances are.

I haven't started looking
for any openings yet,

let alone decide to
stay anywhere permanently.

Of course, I get it.

But the challenges
and variety of working

at a big hospital
would be incredible.

Something different every day,

so many colleagues
to learn from.

Lots of excitement ahead of you.

There's lots of excitement

right here in
Crossroad Springs too.

He an ex?

No, our families
know each other.

They're our ranch
neighbors at Red Oak.

It wasn't a very
neighborly expression.

Long story.

We should get back.

I know, I can't believe it.

Mr. Chapman left?

Yes. We just found
out yesterday.

Looks like we'll be shopping
for a new choir conductor.

Well, I'm sorry I'm not there
to help take care of this.

[Michael] Ah, don't sweat it.
I'll find one.

So listen, how's your dad?

Oh, he's coming around.

He's getting back
to his usual self.

And he's starting to
make some big decisions,

you know, about the ranch.

I know about it,

but he doesn't want to
tell Janet or Aunt Amy.

Well, we all know
secrets go nowhere good.

No, it doesn't feel right.

[Michael] Well, I think
you know what to do.

Look at you,
offering up guidance.

[Michael chuckles]

Hey, um, listen, not to push,

but, uh, any idea when
you might be coming back?

Um, you know, I'm,
I'm not quite sure yet.

I'm going to have to
get back to you on that.

Let me call you later.

[disconnects]

All right. Here, you are.

[Lewis] Thank you.

Oh, James, there's some
people I'd like you to meet.

This is Lewis and Tina.

Lewis is networking
to find a job.

It's a pleasure to
meet both of you.

I'm James Hamilton.

James is a pastor and
his sister is a doctor.

Doesn't hurt to spread the news.

Wait, Janet Hamilton.
She's my doctor.

Oh yeah. She's one of the best.
You're in great hands.

[Maggie] Isn't that perfect?

Oh, excuse me.

[Lewis] A pastor and a doctor
in one family.

Your parents pretty
much won the lottery.

It's a little more
complicated than that.

My dad really wanted me to
take over the family ranch.

Yeah. And that wasn't
what you wanted.

It isn't what He wanted.
God had other plans for me.

[James] But what about you?

What kind of work
are you looking for?

Well, I've had a lot
of different jobs.

Please sit.

I'm willing to do
just about anything.

Since the plant closed

I've been applying
to every job I see.

Retail, fast food,
service stuff.

There was a plumber
looking for an apprentice,

but that got filled.

Well, you sound
really motivated.

Believe me, he is
very motivated.

[Tina chuckles]

Congratulations.

Oh, wow.

Some really big changes
for your future.

How exciting.

Yeah, I'd be a
little more excited

if I could find
some steady work.

Right. Well, keep a
positive attitude.

You'd be surprised
how far that goes.

People want to hire
others with good energy.

That's what I'm always saying.

But Lewis has such
a positive attitude,

there's no doubt about that.

Well, that's more than half
the battle right there.

Don't let the rejections
bring you down.

Just keep your head up.

[Tina] Pastor Price always said,

"Keep your heart and mind open
so you don't miss the signs."

I like that.

I like that. It reminds
me of Matthew 11:15,

Those who have ears,
let them hear.

Oh, believe me,
we are listening.

Thank you so much
for your words.

It's been really hard to get
out to the church in Cedar Rock.

We go when we can.

Long drive, price
of gas, it adds up.

Yeah, I understand.

Oh, please enjoy your meal.

I'll keep my eyes and ears open.

If I can find any work,
I'll let Maggie know.

We appreciate that.

Nice to meet you both.

- Nice to meet you.
- You too.

[James] Okay, you didn't
mention what needs to be fixed.

Hey you! Meet me
in the break room?

Hi. Uh, sorry. I have
to work on these files.

Oh, okay. Well, maybe
Daisy Mae's after shift?

Actually, I can't
this afternoon.

All right, okay.

Well again, just let me
know whenever you're free.

Okay. Sounds good.

Okay. So I need to hang
this LED light fixture.

It cost me a fortune,

but apparently it'll save me
money in the long run.

LED lights. You're not going
to have to change any bulbs

for a long time.

Great.

Where do you
want to put it?

Uh, I was thinking
right here, center.

Easy enough. Let's do it.

Okay.

I already turned the power off,
so you should be all set.

Great, thank you.

What about you?
How are you doing?

Uh, I'm doing all right.

I got a call today
from the church

and we have to replace
our choir director.

Oh no. Does that mean you
might be heading out soon?

I don't know.

Our associate pastor
says he can handle it,

which I'm sure he can.

But I really have to ask
myself what am I trying

to accomplish here and
is it even possible?

It's just a lot more
involved than I thought.

Can you hand me one of those?

Oh yeah.

You know when Aunt Amy,
when she first called me

and asked me to come here

it was because my dad
fell off the horse

and I figured, well, I'm just
going to show up for a few days,

I'll help with chores,
he'll get back on his feet

and then I'm going to head back.

But now you feel like you're
being pulled back in.

Yeah. There's just a
lot of moving parts.

Well, cattle operation
doesn't run itself.

No, no it doesn't. Can
you hand me another one?

Sure.

That's just it. You know, I
think I've been in denial

that Dad's getting older.

And Aunt Amy,

she's put in her fair share
of years at the ranch.

Janet and I were just stuck
in this strange position

because somebody
needs to take over.

Yeah, well, it is your legacy.
Succession matters.

Everybody in a family
business knows that.

Yeah.

It's just hard to have
a family business

with people keeping secrets.

Whoa. Okay. That sounds
like a whole other story.

Yeah. Yeah. It is.

You know, thank you.
I really like talking to you.

It's putting a
lot in perspective.

Happy to help.

Get me another one?

Yes.

[Mason] That's the basic idea.

Once you get the
full assessment,

you'd be able to make
better informed decisions.

I get it. Knowledge is power.

[Mason] Right.

Can we go over the
categories one more time?

Yeah, of course.

You need to look at
pasture management,

the health of the herd,
your infrastructure,

assets and needed repairs
and assess your labor force.

And we need to talk about
the elephant in the room.

The proposed rise in
headcount minimums.

Ah. You're with Foothill
Beef as your distributor?

Isn't everyone in this area?

[James] Hello?

James, hi. We're in
here at the table.

Oh, hey, I'm sorry. I didn't
realize we had company.

Mason's helping us look
at the big picture.

We're trying to piece together
a solid plan to move forward.

That's good.

Um, it's okay to talk specifics?

Oh, of course. He's family.
He should be hearing this.

Actually join us.

Good. We were just diving
into the proposed changes

in the distribution minimums.

Oh right. Seven-fifty a head.

Yeah, if it's going to happen,
we need to be prepared.

Right. So Mason, tell me if
this sounds correct.

We're either going to have to
find another distributor

further away, which
presents its own issues.

Or we can leverage the ranch
house and buy more cattle.

But if we do that, then the
issue becomes how adding

that many new cattle at once
could overwhelm our resources.

Plus the watering fee for
the quarry will go up.

Is that still at
the buck per head?

Uh, yeah.

But we haven't talked to Martha
Winston about it in years.

So maybe she'd be
willing to give an inch.

It definitely should factor
into the assessment.

What if we were to dig a well,

further out in the east
pasture, we could do that.

We ran the numbers last year.

It'd be more than the spring
water rights with Martha.

Okay. But what if we had a
spring? Our own water source?

Um, I don't know what you mean.

Just theoretically, what if
the quarry was on our property?

The quarry's not for sale.

Um, yeah. No, I'm trying to
wrap my head around everything

to come up with some ideas.

Okay.

Oh...

You feeling okay?

Yeah, I'm fine Lewis. Thank you.

But you need to stop
fussing over me.

Never.

Oh, being on my feet is getting
a lot harder these days.

That's all pretty
understandable.

I'm just so grateful that,
that you're my husband

and that we're doing
this together.

Hey, what is it?

Nothing.

Nothing?

That is not the face of nothing.

I've just been worrying
about the baby coming.

Oh no.

It's going to be great, honey.

Dr. Hamilton's the
best doctor in town.

No, not that.

More like, what happens
after the baby comes home?

Oh, we will be just fine.

I helped my mom look
after my three brothers.

What if it's a girl?

Then she'll still need
food, diapers and love.

I think I can
handle that much.

Plus God chose us to
be this baby's parents.

That's true.

We're supposed to
learn and grow.

We are not supposed
to be perfect.

So one step at a time.

Absolutely.

One step at a time.

Right.

Now eat something before
I start fussing again.

You are one hard doctor to find.

I know. It's been so
busy, I can hardly think.

Has it? Huh...

I guess my patient load is
lighter than yours today.

Back to work.

Right, okay.
I didn't mean to bother you.

Not bothering me.
Just have to get back.

? [music starts]

?

? What if we're all angels

? And we're dancing
in the wind ?

? And life is just a
place along the way ?

? That we've been to

? And that would mean
we're in heaven ?

[James] So, this is your secret?

It's not really
much of a secret.

You could find me here
every Tuesday and Saturday.

Well, that's good to know.

It's kind of become
my ritual now.

There's something
about it, calms me.

It's like me, going to church.

Yeah?

It must be hard for you

being away from your
church for this long.

Yes, but my family needs me.

I set up a prayer space
in one of the old barns.

That's nice.

Yeah. Hung my guitar.
Aunt Amy's been coming by.

Aw...

I think she's really missing
the Crossroad Springs church.

Well, yeah. I think we all are.

But no matter how many times
we pass the plate around,

I don't think there's anybody
in town with that much money

lying around that could
fix the faulty roof.

Has anyone offered to
donate the work, to help?

Well, few have tried

but it's a bigger job
than most can take on.

Yeah, nothing worse
than roadblocks

getting in the way of worship.

I know.

I try to make it out to Cedar
Rock on Sundays for services.

At least whenever I can.

I've been wanting to get
out there, bring Aunt Amy.

Oh, I bet she'd love that.

Yeah.

It's just a shame
it's so far.

Hey Maggie, I've been
toying with an idea.

I'd really love your
help figuring it out.

Yeah. What's going on?

The prayer space that
I created in the barn.

Every time I'm there, I
just get the sense that

it could be
something bigger.

Something that I want
to share with others.

Huh.

Well that kind of sounds like
you want to start a church here.

But I thought you didn't know

if you'd be even staying
that much longer.

Yeah, I don't. But I do
need a place to worship.

And my calling is to help
other people find the same.

?

Huh.

?

How about a cowboy church?

A cowboy church?
I've only heard of those.

I've never actually
been to once.

Yeah. My aunt and uncle go
every Sunday in Oklahoma.

They have them all
over the country.

Really?

Yeah.

I heard that they were
started at rodeos

because the ranch hands
wanted someplace to worship

wherever it is that they were.

You know, it kind of goes
hand in hand with ranch life.

Yeah. Traditional church
with the rustic vibe.

I like it. That us.

It is.

It reminds me of the
impromptu church services

we used to have on Fridays
when we were kids.

Remember that?

Yeah, exactly. Of course I do.

Anyway, think about it.

?

Thank you.

?

Hey, what are you
doing Friday night?

? We should be dancing
like angels in the wind ?

?

[Janet] So, Dad,

we really need to talk about
how our meeting with Mason went.

[Willis struggles
with the door] Okay.

Hey Dad, you need help
bringing that new trough

to the upper pasture?

Yeah. I'll take you
up on that. Let's go.

Dad, you promised
us you'd listen.

Fine. I'm listening.

It's not my fault
that James is here.

For crying out loud.

[James] Did I interrupt
something?

Nah, nothing.

They're just about to
tell me their grand plan.

Hey, well you don't have
to be so snarky, Willis.

[Willis] Who's being snarky?

Anyway, we had our
meeting with Mason.

Yeah...

And what did the esteemed head
of our ranchers' association

have to say to
justify his fee?

You know, Mason's sharp.

Plus, I already told
you I'm paying for it.

I think it's important we
get an objective opinion.

He had us do an overall
assessment of the ranch

so we can make more
informed decisions.

So, you're paying
him all the money,

but you're doing all the work.

Dad, just hear them out.

All right, all right. Shoot.

Thank you. So we think
the best way forward,

considering these new
minimums we're up against,

is to leverage the farm
and start buying up cattle.

[Aunt Amy] But not all at once.

The water fees and
other expenses mean

we need to build gradually.

But if we pace it
out over 18 months,

we can grow with the
herd and be ready

for when these rules kick in.

And we've timed it.

So by the time we get to market,

we've grown to seven
fifty head, give or take.

Well, that sounds like a
very well thought out plan.

Nice work.

Well good.

We can walk you through
the numbers later tonight,

if you like.

And there are a number
of cost cutting measures

targeted as well.

That's all terrific, but
I'm going to pass for now.

But you really did great work.

What do you mean
you're going to pass?

I mean I've taken
it under advisement,

but I'm going a different way.

What way are you going?

[Willis] I'm not at liberty to
say right at the moment.

This isn't a game, Dad.
This is the family ranch.

And I'm the head of
the family ranch.

No, Dad. We all work this
land and we all care about it.

I agree, Dad.

Don't let them do all
this work for nothing.

Come on. You should tell
them about the plan.

[Janet and Aunt Amy together]
What plan?

May I remind you, James,
that you are not at liberty

to say anything either.

Yeah, and I want to
keep your confidence,

but we also have to move
forward together as a family.

Spill it, Willis. Now.

I'm just saying we need to
hold off on making decisions

for a little while longer.

But why, Dad?

Janet, honey, you're just
going to have to trust me.

Then you should try
trusting them too.

Just...

Dad, just tell
them about the deal

with Martha and the quarry.

What deal with Martha
and the quarry?

I trusted you.

And you can keep trusting me
to do what's right by all of us.

So just be up front so
we can figure it out.

Fine.

Wait, Martha's
selling the quarry?

Because I haven't
seen a sign up.

Well that's because
there is no sign.

It's a secret deal.
Just me and Martha.

We're doing a good old
fashioned private land sale.

Yeah.

So you're going to leverage
the ranch for a watering hole

that we're going to have to sell
most of the herd to pay for.

Well, I wasn't planning

to give you a whole song
and dance, but yeah.

We'll divert some funds.

We get the land, which
includes the water rights.

Then the Newmans have
to pay us for water.

[Janet and Aunt Amy bombard
Willis with many questions]

- [Janet] Dad...
- [James] Dad,

You just couldn't wait for
the finish line, could you?

We have to reach some
kind of consensus here.

You made your decision years
ago to leave this place.

Yeah, But I'm here now.
So is Janet and Aunt Amy.

So, let us in so we can help.

Well, bottom line. I had a plan.

You're messing it up.

So, uh, where's that cute
doctor you're always with?

I'm not always with him.

Really? Would that
be such a bad thing?

Honestly, I don't
even know anymore.

Okay, well I'm here
if you need to talk.

Do you know who that woman is?

The one with Daniel?

I don't know.
I've never seen her before.

Looks like a business meeting.

Can I ask why it matters?

I just like to keep my
enemies close and all that.

Thanks for the coffee.

Yeah.

[James strums the
guitar pleasantly]

?

[James stops playing the guitar]

Hey Sherry, please come in.

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

No, no, of course not.
Not at all.

What's going on in here?

It looks so cute
all of a sudden.

Oh, well, I thought I'd
turn it into a little bit

of a prayer space, you know,
where the ranch hands

and the family
could come worship.

Wait, so then you'll
be preaching here?

So does that mean
you're staying?

Well, I'm here for now.

I was looking for you
because I was wondering

what you know about
this quarry business.

Nathan overheard Miss Amy
saying something about

Red Oak buying the land?

Well if I can ask,

I'd like you and Nathan
to keep this confidential,

but that is the
plan on the table.

Wow. That would
end a lot of drama.

How do you mean?

The Hamiltons and the
Newmans have been trying

to get that land
from the Winstones

since they bought
it from the town.

Right. See, I only
remember bits and pieces.

I had already left
for Chicago by then.

The fight went cold
about 10 years ago

when Martha finally had a sit
down with your dad and Henry.

And that's when she told them
she was in control of the land

and she was tired of dealing
with their constant lobbying

and bickering and that's
when the water rights

were split evenly between
them, with even rent.

I wonder what's
changed since then?

I'm guessing it has to
do with Henry's passing.

Your dad took it as a
bit of a reset button.

Yeah, it makes sense.

Dad's been talking with
Martha a lot more recently.

Back to his old
lobbying ways, I guess.

Only this time it's working.

We did it.

Hallelujah.

Hey, what did I miss?

Oh, just your average
Hamilton miracle.

Dad skipped dessert.

[they both laugh]

Even better.

He agreed to let us come with
him to negotiate with Martha.

Really? No kidding.

No, I guess he realized
that his secret

wasn't doing anybody any good.

Well cheers to that.

So do you think
he's forgiven me

for letting the cat
out of the bag?

I wouldn't count
on that just yet.

It wasn't so much an
enthusiastic invitation as a...

Begrudging acceptance.

He's still pretty ticked, right.

Well I'm not surprised.

I just couldn't stand
by and let you two

do all that work in vain.

[James] It wasn't right.

I'll say.

I can't tell you
how much it means

to have you both here
lending your eyes and ears,

your strong backs.

You're really making
a difference.

Of course. You can't do
this all on your own.

Yeah, especially with
Willis being Willis.

But tonight, we wore him down.

Mm-hmm

[they all chuckle]

There's hope for him yet.
He did the right thing.

Yeah.

Well, Lord knows what else
he's been keeping from us.

Let's just enjoy the moment.

[Janet's phone buzzes]

[James] You still got pie left?

[Aunt Amy] I do. I think.
Yes I do. In the fridge.

Three plates coming up.

The last time I
saw a movie here,

robots were out to
annihilate the planet Mars.

Oh, so a big award winner.

[Maggie laughs]

No, but it was awesome.

[they both laugh]

[action hero voice]
Looks like it's time

we decommissioned
these rust buckets...

Permanently.

Wow. That was really good.

[Maggie laughs]

[laughing] Here all night
to embarrass myself.

[laughing] Great.

So how goes the drama
with the ranch?

Let's just say it's dramatic.

I shared my father's
secret with the family,

created a little bit of a mess.

Oh boy.

Yeah.

Sometimes I don't
really understand

his outlook on the world.

Yeah, my mom's
kind of like that.

When I told her I was
opening the cafe,

she just sent me a whole bunch
of articles on how hard it is

to keep a restaurant
open in this economy.

So helpful.

[laughs] So helpful.

I was like, Thanks, Mom,
did you forget the part

where I'm moving back to
Crossroad Springs?

Thought you'd be happy.

I'm sure she'd say
she was just trying

to help and that she loves you.

I know, I know.

It was very sweet and I
am happy to be closer.

It's just, I could use
a little less worry.

Uh! It's starting!

You go.

[knocking]
Janet...

Can we please
talk for a second?

My schedule is
back to back today.

Did I do something wrong?

because I would never
want to hurt you.

It's nothing. I'm fine.

You're fine?
You're not fine.

You've been avoiding
me for days.

Please just tell me
what I did wrong.

Look, I just think we
should pick things up

when there's more
certainty in our lives.

More, more certainty?

Is this about my fellowship?

If you're leaving for the city,

I'm not sure that we should
invest anymore in this.

Janet, I haven't even decided

whether I would take
this job or not.

Let alone leave anytime soon.

But still, you're in that
stage of your career

where you don't really know
where you might end up.

Aren't you too? I mean, why
can't we be in it together?

I do know what I want.

And what's that exactly?

I'm going to stay in
Crossroad Springs.

My family needs me.
This is where I belong.

Okay, so now I know
where you stand.

[paging announcement]

Paging Dr. Randall to reception

Dr. Randall to reception.

I got to go.

But don't write me off as
gone when I'm right here.

I want to be with you.

[Maggie] Oh, hey guys.
Over here.

That is a long drive
from Cedar Rock.

Gorgeous drive though.

And Pastor Price is always
so happy when we come.

It was great to see him.

He's got quite the
church up there.

Yeah, lots of young people.

Oh, it's so nice to see.

If you don't have the youth,

where's the future
of the church?

It's true. Please.

[James] It's a
beautiful community.

He's doing something
really special up there.

Yeah. It's a shame
Willis couldn't come.

Oh he could have.

He's just too busy giving
us all the silent treatment.

He is who he is.

Yep, a curmudgeon.

[everybody chuckles]

So happy you have
Sunday brunch now.

Yeah, I figured we'd try it out.

[Aunt Amy] Oh it's so terrific.

You know, in case people
haven't been telling you,

this place adds a
lot to our town.

It's the perfect meeting spot.

That's so sweet
of you to say.

So I heard James installed
a new light fixture.

Can I see it?

You want to see
the light fixture?

Mm-hmm. I'm huge into decor.

Yeah, it's right over there.

We'll be right back.

[Maggie] Okay, well here it is.

Actually I just wanted to talk
to you alone for a second.

Oh, that makes more sense.

Yeah, I don't want James all
up in my romance business.

Oh, this just got a
lot more interesting.

Yeah.

Okay.

I just need some woman
to woman advice.

Yeah. Okay.
I'll do my best.

I'm assuming this
is about Dr. Randall?

Yeah, I'm a bit
thrown because

he's thinking of finishing the
rest of his cardiac fellowship

at a hospital in the city.

Oh boy.

Yeah. And I really
like him and

I, I thought that we
were going somewhere good

but now...

But now you think you're
headed towards heartbreak.

Exactly.

Got it. Okay.

Well, what are your instincts?

Well, my gut's
telling me to run.

I've just been avoiding him,
but it's uh, not helping.

Yeah. Okay. Well, one, that's a
little bit of teenage behavior

and two, I'm guessing he
saw right through that.

Yeah, he did. But I don't
really know what to say.

You know, I'm more of
a science person

and less of a words person.

All right, well why not
just tell him how you feel.

You care about him

and you're worried you're
going to lose him.

Face up to it. Simple.

Yeah, long distance isn't
really that simple.

Well, that's fair.

You know, James and I went to
a drive-in on Friday night.

But he lives in Chicago.

Right.

Right...

Twinsies.

[Aunt Amy] Oh, I should have
realized they'd be concerned.

Must've been a real light
bulb moment for Sherry

and Nathan when your dad
fell off that horse.

Realizing he's not invincible.

And I think not
replacing the foreman

sends some mixed messages
to the rest of the staff.

And now with you here,
they must be wondering

what on earth is going on.

Yeah, I have to admit,

I've been wondering a
bit about that myself.

Oh, how so?

Well, I've just been spending

so much of my life
building it in Chicago.

I haven't been thinking about
the ranch and my future in it.

You're in a blessed
position, James.

You have choice.

It was pretty cut and dried
when my parents passed.

Thankfully, Willis took over.

[Aunt Amy] Mom and Dad did
divide the ranch at equal share

but when you and Janet came,
we are now all the same.

What about you?

Me?

Well, there is always to
be a place for me here.

I want to be a part of this.

[James] I do, Aunt Amy.
I want to be a part

of the vision of the future
while everyone's still here.

I just don't know
what that looks like.

Why don't we deal with

the Martha Winstone situation
first and go from there. Huh?

Fair enough.

[James] I just think we all
need to be on the same page.

[Willis] Well, there's
only one page.

Martha's going to
sell us the land.

She said she would.
It's a pretty short page.

[Janet] But what did you and
Martha discuss about terms?

Does she want to
involve the bank?

[Willis] No banks.
You let me deal with that.

Look, Martha and I
go back a long way.

She's on her own.

She's older, and tired of
dealing with this water issue.

She wants it settled, for good.

[knocking]

This is a good thing.

Willis.

Hi Martha.

Well as promised,
here's my family.

You remember my sister Amy.

And those are my kids,
James and Janet.

I remember you picking
from my raspberry bush.

You, I don't
remember so much.

That's because I'm
the perfect child.

Ah, you got a funny
one there Willis.

It's really nice to
see you, Martha.

Thank you for this.

Yeah, I told them
about our arrangement.

They wanted to come by in person
and express their gratitude.

I see. Well about that.

I've had a bit of
a change of heart.

What do you mean?

Like about the terms
of the deal or...

I mean the actual deal itself.

Here's the name of my lawyer,
Elsa Hubbard.

You'll have to go
through her from now on.

Martha...

We're friends.

Now we've been talking
about this for years.

And we both know that
Eugene wants that land

to join with ours.

And I promised him that
I'd give you a fair price.

I'm sorry Willis.

I'm just unburdening myself
of this entire ordeal.

Unburdening yourself.

What, of me?

Perhaps, perhaps not.

Just give her a call

and you'll see that she's
ready to talk turkey.

[Martha] I'm sorry Willis.

Well that went great.

Yeah, you could say that again.

[message notification]

Oh no.
