[man coughing]

[People talking]

[Saw whirring]

[Wood splits]

Ah, I'm sorry, krager.

It just split on me.

[Clears throat]
Mr. Simmons?

You may want to take
a look at this.

Oh, damn.
That's a special order.

That'll set us back 6 weeks.

Just replace it with
a standard frame.

It's got to be exactly
like the original.

It's in the bid.

I can match it.

Who's that?

Noah dearborn.

He's a carpenter god.

When?

Now.

It's almost 3:00,
Mr. dearborn.

Gimme a couple of hours.

2 hours?

Maybe a little more.
Not much.

No way.

No offense, pal.

I can do it.

Got 20 bucks
says he can do it.

You're on.

Want to bet?

Come on.
He can do it.

Yep.
here we go.

$20. you in?

Cash in?

Boy, let's see it.

No way.

[Rooster crows]

When you work
with wood...

You gotta have
the right set of knives.

If you don't have
the right knives,

then you got
to cut your own.

Noah, I need you
to go help your father.

Noah.

Noah.

Mind your mother, boy.

Silas, I know he's kin to you,
but he's your brother's boy.

He doesn't want to do anything
but watch you work.

Well, the boy's
got this special...

Single-mindedness.

He sets his head
to something

and shuts out
everything else.

I ain't never seen
nothin' like it.

Where'd you find
this guy?

Noah's the first one on
the jobsite in the morning,

the last one to leave
in the evening.

Nothing seems to interest him
but his work.

In my mind,
that makes him a noble man.

5 minutes left, Noah.

No, he's still
gotta paint it.

The hell he does.

Rico, Duncan,
mix up those paints.

Noah!

Noah! Noah!

[Chanting]

Whoo-hoo!

Gonna make it!

Ha ha!

Ah, there it is!

[Cheering]

[Clapping]

[Camera clicks]

I put in a little extra
for saving my behind.

You're welcome.
Listen, Noah...

I'll come out to the farm
and let you know

when we have something that's
worthy of your special skills.

Mighty kind.

Hey, we're heading down to
the red and gray pub for a few.

Friend asked me to stop by
and look at some repairs.

It'd be unmannerly of me
to leave her waiting,

but thanks just the same.

See you.

You didn't tell him
you were the one

who built it
in the first place?

Nope.

Why not?

They didn't ask.

[Laughs]

How'd you say it broke?

Oh, I guess it was
my niece or my nephew.

Table's been in our family
for more than 3 generations.

You ready for your pie?

Uh, yes.

Ooh.

[Sarah laughs]

There's no hurry.
I'm just glad you can fix it.

My good fortune.

What?

Every time I come here
to mend something,

there's a hot pie
coming out of the oven.

Oh.

[Sighs]

How you doing?

I'm looking for
a Noah dearborn.

That's me.

Noah dearborn sr.

A gentlemen of
about 90 or so?

The...proprietor?

Mister, your fancy word
don't change the fact

I'm Noah dearborn.

Oh. well, I see
your point there.

Well, Noah, when's the last time
you had a really good day?

Today.

Ok. when was the last time
you had a really great day?

Can't say I know what
you're getting at.

I'm sorry. Let me cut
to the chase here.

And I represent a private
real estate concern,

and we are prepared
to offer you $300,000

for your land today.

In cash.

350. and that's
a hundred thousand

over the most generous
appraisal of this place, too.

Don't mean to be
disrespectful, but...

This land's
not for sale.

You drive
a hard bargain, sir.

All right. 400,000
in cash today.

What do you think?

No, thank you.

Mr. dearborn, think about
all the time you'd have

to relax and
enjoy your life.

My work's my life.

If you want to stay busy
with all that money,

I can get you 2 years work
on this project here.

The things you say don't seem
to follow what you're meaning.

You want to buy my land.

I told you...
It's not for sale.

I know what
he's thinking.

I know what
they're all thinking.

Did he give you
anything specific?

You mean did I allow him
to insult me further?

Hell, no.
I'm not a glutton.

You allow someone to forge
ahead on you like that,

it's a sign of weakness.

Earl, I want to tell you
what I'm hearing you say.

You don't trust the people
you work with.

You don't feel appreciated
by your boss.

You can't wait to leave
the office every day.

Now, if you were to envision
yourself in a different job,

surrounded by new people,

would you like what you do?

I don't know. I never
thought about that.

I want you
to think about it.

All right.

But we're out of time now.

Same time next week?

Yes, that's right.

Good-bye, doctor.

[Telephone rings]

Take care now.

[Ring]

[Ring]

This is Dr. crane.

My love, how are you?

Missing you.

Me, too.

Where are you,
in the city?

Still stuck down here
in mayberry, r.F.D.

Christian...

Yeah?

Are you forgetting
anything?

Ohh. the John Portman
exhibit, right?

I'm really up against it
down here, honey.

I'll make it up to you,
i promise.

I'm still 2 hours
out of the city.

I just can't make it
back in time.

Call me later.
Maybe I'll pick up.

Ouch. that hurt.

Bye.

[Lathe spinning]

On this dearborn property,

if we secure this loan
in 29 days,

it's a $50 million
project, people.

Let's get on it, ok?

Well, give him some time
to mull it over.

He'll come around.

I'm not so sure.

I'm not so sure this is the
Noah dearborn we're after.

The deed says
the man's pushing 100,

but the guy I talked to
didn't look a day over 55.

Maybe he killed the old man
and assumed his identity.

Maybe the guy
is just deluded.

Then you'd have a case
for mental incompetency,

and we could
push for him

becoming a ward
of the state.

Well, we know
he's incompetent.

Who else would turn down
that amount of money?

Well...i'd like to meet
the man myself.

My daddy always said...

"The eyes never lie."

If he's deranged...

I'll get him
out of there.

Gentlemen.

This mental
incompetency thing,

how do you prove
something like that?

Well, there was
this case last year

up in Lincoln county.

They got a letter from
an accredited psychologist.

There was
a comprehension hearing

and the old lady was
declared mentally unstable.

The estate was awarded
to the county.

Hmm.

So when are you two ever
going to get hitched?

We're not thinking
about that right now.

What? if you ask me, val,

guys like Christian don't
fall off turnip trucks.

You're really pushy,
you know that?

I don't know.
I don't listen to you.

Oh.

Hi, Sterling.

Hello, ladies.

[Kiss]

Hi.

So, how's the criminal
records division?

Lots of criminals,
lots of records.

You're changing
the subject again.

Nothing.
it's just my pager.

Oh, speak of the devil.

You're an educated
21st century woman.

Val, don't be
so accommodating.

I'll be right back.

Listen, sweetie,
could you do me a big favor?

I need you to meet me down
there in that little town,

just for a couple of days.

It's kind of important.

What's so urgent?

It's not urgent.

Just need you there
for moral support.

Plus, there's this thing
i need to discuss with you.

What thing?

I'll tell you when
you get down there.

I'm gonna have to reschedule
a lot of appointments.

Please, honey, I wouldn't ask
you if it wasn't important.

Oh? well, I'll definitely
make it worth your while.

Ok?

I gotta go.

So go already.

Ok. bye-bye.

[Rooster crows]

[Moo]

[Horse whinnies]

Noah dearborn.

Yes, sir?

Robert Murphy.

I was told to look for an older,
good-looking gentleman,

but, uh, you look like
you're fit enough

to still be throwing
a javelin.

I don't mean to be
disrespectful, but I...

Got the same answer
i gave the other fella.

This is a beautiful piece
of property you have here.

Do you split and stack
all this wood by yourself?

Yes, sir.

Got a spell to go,
though.

Well, I'll help you.

There's no sense in me
taking up all your time

oh, that's ok.
I can manage by myself.

Uhh.

Ha ha ha.

Ok.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Stuck.
ha ha ha ha.

Huh uhh!

Water?

Can't remember
the last time a stranger

offered to help me
with my chores.

I'm just glad
to get out of that suit

and do some manual labor.

I feel younger already.

Mmm.

Ahh.

Thank you.

You make wine, too?

No. apple Brandy.

Do you mind
if I have a taste?

I guess you earned it.

[Cow mooing]

Ohh.

What--what did you say
you came here for?

We're gonna get right back
on schedule as soon as--

right.

Well--well,
how high an offer

am I authorized to make,
sir?

Ok.

Well, twin pines mall

is going to be
a tremendous success, sir.

And, uh, have a good time
on your cruise. Mm-hmm.

[Knocking
on door]

And you are?

[Laughing]
come here.

Ohh.
good to see you.

Wow.

For me?

Oh, maybe.
Open it.

Open it now.
Hurry. Come on.

Just a little something
i picked up.

Ahem.

Uh...

Oh, they're beautiful.

You like 'em?

Try it on.

Yeah.

Yeah, come on.

You put it on.

You like that?

You like it?

You look beautiful.

What was so urgent?

What was so urgent?
I'll show ya.

Mmm.

This Scott woman had
this beautiful estate

reduced to squalor.

She'd fired
all of her staff,

the grounds were ruined,

so you think this dearborn man
is like that?

I hope not.

I am concerned, though.

He seems a little--
a little off.

So, if you can prove
he's mentally unstable,

then you can have him
removed from his home.

I don't want anybody
removed from their home,

but he's out there
all alone,

and if he's not well,

it might be
that he's better off

plus, we're willing to pay him
very well for his land.

How much?

650.

Wow. it must be
a great piece of land.

Go.

[Lays down card]

What? what'd I say?

No, I just feel a little
weird about this.

Look, I know this is
really sudden, but...

I just want your take
on this guy.

Ok.

See what I can do.

I win.

Uhh.

Is she a Jersey,
the--the white one?

Holstein.

My parents have a place
north of here.

I used to spend summers
there, and th--

this place makes me wish
they weren't selling it.

Neighbor had a big Jersey,
and I...

Used to help milk her.

Come a long way from...

Milking
your neighbor's cow.

I'm Valerie crane.

All this attention here
lately...

Making me feel
a little important.

Lots of visitors?

Yes, ma'am.

Are you Noah dearborn?

I mean, is there
another Noah dearborn?

No.

I know this will
sound forward,

especially coming
from a stranger.

How old are you?

I'm not selling my land.

I--I'm not here to buy.

A friend asked me
to come and meet you.

Your friend made you
come all this way

to find out
how old I am?

No. actually,
i heard you own

one of the last unblemished
pieces of property.

I wanted to come
and meet the owner,

maybe talk a little.

Mile past the first
stop sign in town,

you see a sign
for mccellan's.

Nice place. Nice lady
name of Sarah.

She likes to talk
about as much as you do.

Makes nice pie.

Uh, excuse me, um--

I don't mean to be
disrespectful,

but all you people

come out here
dressed as lambs,

but you smell
like foxes.

Have a nice day.

This is Evelyn.

Hi, it's val.

Listen, how would I find out
the age of a person

who doesn't
want to give it?

Ask one of his
relatives, val.

Please, Evelyn,
this is important.

Well, there's the
social security office,

the dmv,

or if you had a friend

in the criminal records
division...

I need some information
on a man named Noah dearborn.

Twin pines...
Have you got that?

See if you can get
a photograph, too.

I'm on it.

You're a Saint.

So, how are things
going on down there?

Stop being so nosy.

Heh. I'll stop
being so nosy

when you stop being
so secretive.

Ok, got to go. Bye.

Val--

Sarah: hi, sue.

How you doing, Marge?

It's good
to see you both.

Enjoying the Turkey?

Mmm. the best.
Just the best.

Hey.

Hey.

What happened?

I lied through my teeth,
and he saw right through it.

He's crazy, right?

How could I possibly
make that assumption

after
a brief conversation?

No, honey, I'd have to
sit down with the man,

give him
a standardized test,

and then I'd have to
discuss my findings

wait, wait, wait.
A team of specialists?

Psychiatric
evaluation team.

Howdy. how you doin'?

Is everything
going all right here?

Great.
good.

Hi.
Valerie: hi.

You must be Sarah.

I hear your pie
is very good.

Well,
most people think so,

unless they're telling me
a big lie.

Would you like some?

What is it?
It's peach.

Oh, sure.

Comin' right up.

You know, Murphy hadn't
come back to the office

since he went
down there.

Well, then, I guess
I'm lucky to be alive.

Honey...

I promise you when
this project is over,

we'll go to Hawaii
or something.

I want it in writing,
please.

I, Christian Nelson,
do hereby swear

to take...

[Beeping]

[Beeping stops]

Uhh. ha ha.

I hate these.

Uh, I will
be right back.

Sorry.

[Ring]

[Mutters]

Would you guys stop paging me
every 23 seconds?

What's the deal?

Oh, really?

That's actually ok,
'cause we're--

had a sort of a slight
change of plans here.

A whole bunch of experts
on this thing.

Now, that's the day
they finished the building.

That's my father there
on the right.

I was no more
than 10 years old.

What a beautiful
photograph.

Oh, thank you.

I wish
i had more of them.

Who's this man?

Well,
that's Noah dearborn.

He's, uh, he's kind
of a local hero.

He built
most of the town.

Is this date right,
though? 1956?

He doesn't seem to have
aged more than a day.

From that big land development,
now, would you?

Oh, no.
No, I'm, uh, I'm not.

My boyfriend is.
I'm just a bystander.

Yeah, I'll have somebody
bring you the bill.

Um, did I say something
to offend you?

Uh...

I'm--I'm sorry.

What was that
all about?

I wish I knew.

Mmm.

Why don't you
finish this first?

Yes, ma'am.

Well, you best
speak your mind.

No sense in keeping
all them words inside you

when you're fit enough
to speak.

Mama says
you never get sick.

She said the lord
never wants to take you.

She said you're
the oldest man in the world.

Well...

I'll tell you
a secret.

When a man loves his work,

truly loves it...

Sickness and death
will get tired of chasing you.

And just finally give up
and leave you alone.

Clear your mind of
all that concerns you

and do the right thing

with those hands
that god gave you.

You hear me
talking to you?

Evelyn: here we go.
Uh, Noah dearborn.

No criminal record.

Uh, born 1908.
Twin pines, Georgia.

Oh, my god.

Nothing.
that helps.

That helps a lot.
Thank you.

[Keystrokes]

Oh. hello.

Good afternoon.

Hi.

I hope I'm not
interrupting.

I was just leavin'.

I assure you I won't take up
much of your time.

Good. I don't have much
for you to take up.

Sarah just about
gabbed my ears on fire.

Oh, my.

You manage all this
without electricity?

Yes, ma'am.

How do you work
at night?

I work during the day
when it's light out.

If, uh, I have to finish
and it's late,

I'll burn a few oil lamps.

Have you ever been out
of twin pines before?

Once or twice.

I don't seem
to remember.

Would you pass me
that rag, please?

So...so you've
never traveled

or taken a plane
or a train?

It seems to me I took
a train once with my daddy.

Can't say I remember
when it was.

You ever heard of
a musical group

called the Beatles?

No.

Golden gate bridge?

No.

Elvis Presley?

Oh, yeah.

Elvis?

Sure.

Mr. dearborn, uh,
I'm a clinical psychologist,

and I'd just like
to talk to you

about the way you live,

and maybe I could...

Take what I learn
and use it somehow...

That's all that's in it
for me, honest.

I'm...

No fox.

I can't draw a long bow
with you.

There's work to be done.

Some folks are longwinded

when a small breeze
will do just fine.

Uh, Mr. dearborn,
I'm only trying to figure out

how you've stayed
the way you are.

I mean, how you've managed
to stay so young.

Obviously,
there's a lot that you know.

Where are we going?

Who's buried here?

My folks.

And Silas.

Who's Silas?

My uncle
and best friend.

Did you ever get--

young lady,
most of the time,

I like to be alone
to do my work.

Now, if that'll help
those folks

back there in the city
feel better

like you want, well...

Take that with you.

I understand.

This is
a little intrusive.

I'm sorry.

Do you ever get sick?

Ain't got no time
to be sick.

So you've never been
to a hospital?

I've got lots
of things to do.

Too many questions
for one day.

You sure you're not kin
to Sarah mccellan?

Valerie:
he's--he's a miracle.

He's totally uncontaminated
by modern life.

It's as though the world
orbits around him,

and he's managed
not to engage.

It's his discipline

and his passion
for his work, I think,

that's--that's
kept him so young and...

So he's not gonna sell?

Christian, can we leave
that alone for a moment

and appreciate
what's been discovered here?

Am I interrupting
something?

Where the hell
have you been?

I can come back later.

What happened to you,
man?

You left us
high and dry.

Uh, I apologize, Christian,
but, uh...

I'm not
practicing law anymore.

Well, that's--
that's a good one.

Yeah. yeah, I'm selling
my shares in the firm.

Uh, we're buying into
this vineyard in sonoma.

Um, and...
I'm gonna be a winemaker.

What?

Oh, no, please, no.
I'm not staying.

Christian, I just...

I just reevaluated everything
in my life and...

And what's important to me.

I'm sorry.

I mean, you and i
have made a lot of money

over the years, but, uh...

I just, uh...

I just missed out
on so much.

What, you mean this?

Yeah.

I do.

I'll send you a postcard

and hopefully
a damn good bottle of wine.

Take care.

[Door opens
and closes]

Um...

What's--what's going on?

Tsk. well, it's a...

Good thing
you went down there.

Otherwise,
you never would have met

that Mr. hidden treasure
of a man, now, would you?

Ha ha.
Look at Murphy.

And he just changes
his whole life entirely.

Gotta shut that guy down

before he starts
his own damn religion.

What?

What?

Valerie?

Valerie?

[Door closes]

[Bell tolling]

[Children laughing]

I'll beat you
to the ice cream store.

I'm gonna
get chocolate chip.

I'm gonna get vanilla.

Noah?

Mr. dearborn!

Hey.

Hello.

Goin' to market?

No. no, young lady.

Mind if I ride along?
I've never been in one of these.

More questions.

Please? I'd like
to talk to you.

Maybe I can help.

You handy with
a hammer and a saw?

I'm afraid not.

Then...

What kind of help
you talking about?

Some people would argue
that by giving up your land

you'd make a considerable
amount of money to retire on.

Where would I go?

When they had the idea
round to begin with.

I could have saved them
a lot of time and worry.

You understand you're
going to have to fight this?

A man has to fight
for something

that belongs to him
in the first place

don't seem right.

Don't you get lonely?

No.

You ever been married?

No.

Handsome man like you?

Hard to marry
when you're...

Always tripping
over your own tongue.

Sarah mccellan doesn't
seem to feel that way.

Being alone
don't seem to me

like such a bad thing.

What about your family?
Your uncle Silas?

You said he was
your best friend.

You sure ask
a lot of questions.

After a while,
answering them

is like tossin'
55-pound bags of cement.

It just wears you out.

[Giggling]

Mr. dearborn.
Mr. dearborn.

Hi, Mr. dearborn.

Hi.

Hi.

Ha ha ha.

Hello!

Ha ha.

Hello!

Afternoon.

Afternoon.

Brought you
some things.

Came
to fix the door.

That's very
kind of you.

I wasn't
expecting company.

Ain't no company.

Won't take
but a minute.

Ooh!
look at them ears.

Big as a cat.

Big as a cat.

Good year this year.

Do you want
some lemonade?

That'll be nice.

And for your friend?

Oh, this is
miss Valerie.

She be askin'
a lot of questions.

That's her job.

Does he
come here often?

The kids think
he's Santa claus,

only Mr. dearborn comes
more than once a year.

We weren't expecting

a new screen door,
though.

[Sighs]

You need to treat your home
with a little more care.

All right,
Mr. dearborn.

Huh?

Well, best be off.

Ma'am.

Thanks again.

Be back soon enough.

Thank you
for the drink.

Oh, any time.

She didn't ask
too many questions.

She's quiet
as a baby barn owl.

She likes to talk to me.

Of course, she thinks
i don't know much.

That way she can
help other folks.

Bye.

Lemonade
go down wrong?

No, no.

How long
you been doing this?

As long as I've grown
more than I could eat.

Take care.

There is a man
that came to see you,

and something that you said
must have changed his life.

Can't say I know what
you're going on about.

A man called Murphy.

The lawyer fella.

Yeah.
what did you say to him?

Didn't say much.

He had a bit
of apple Brandy.

He seemed to do most
of the talking,

said something about
wanting to make wine.

That was it? You didn't
tell him anything or...

I was just asking what good
is wanting to do something

without going on
and doing it.

He's a nice man.

Very smart.

Like you.

He wasn't much on
chopping wood, though.

[Engine starts]

Mr. dearborn,
we have a court order.

Right this way, sir.

So, uh, let's call
the utility company--

what in heaven's name
have you done?

Um, let's take
a quick break, shall we?

My god, that's a little
extreme, don't you think?

Extreme?
you pay someone to lie,

you have a man removed
from his home

so you can
make some money?

Besides, you had nothing
to do with that part of it.

You're the one
who dragged me down there

Valerie, I'm sorry you think
that I misled you,

but I happen to care
about my life and career.

And I want you
to be part of it,

but you're not
letting me.

Where is he?

He's being
properly evaluated.

Honey, you know,
Valerie...

Valerie, I think
you just got a little

too involved, honey.

Ok? honey?

I'm--I'm sorry
to bother you.

You should have
left him alone.

Where's he gone?

Some men took him.

All of you
should be ashamed.

I know I'm a stranger,
but I'm a doctor.

I'm the only person
who can help him right now,

and you can't.

You people treat him
like he's some kind of god.

He's just a lonely old--

let me tell you
something.

You know,
several years ago,

Noah's best friend
in the world passed on.

Silas.

And after he was gone,

Noah just seemed
to shut down.

It was years before
anyone heard him speak.

All he'd do from sunup
to sundown is work.

Finally, one day,
all of us felt so bad,

we got together,
we got Noah a dog.

He took care of him,
he fed him,

he even let him sleep
inside the barn,

but you know something?

He never once
touched that dog.

He never pet him.

I don't understand.

Noah can't touch things
he cares about.

Somehow, by god's will,

the further away
he stays

from everything
but his work,

the more he's protected.

You come here
from I don't know where.

To you it may seem
a little unfit,

but that's what makes
the man the way he is.

What's unfit to me is that
he's locked up somewhere,

and I can't help him
unless you tell me where he is.

Well...

They got him
in the mental hospital.

It's 2 counties north.

You should go look in
on your father.

I can't.

What do you mean
you can't?

Your daddy is sick.

Go look in on him.

All right.

[Coughing]

[Moaning]

[Floor creaks]

Noah, c-come here, son.

Come here, son.

Don't be
disrespectful.

[Coughing]

They're going to take me
to the hospital.

You the man
of the house now.

These 35 acres here
gonna be yours.

You...

You take care of
your mama, you hear?

You t-t--
[Wheezing, coughing]

[Coughing]

Mr. dearborn, do you
know why you're here?

No.

Mr. dearborn, a board
certified physician

sent us a letter stating
you were displaying

strange and peculiar
behavior.

Yes, in this letter,

he stated that you
may be a danger

to yourself and others.

So, we've been ordered
by the court

to keep you
under observation

for a minimum required
amount of time.

Do you understand,
Mr. dearborn?

I can't say that I do.

I don't mean to be
disrespectful

to you all,

but I got a lot
of work to do.

Have a good day.

Would any of you happen
to have the key?

Mr. dearborn.

We have a lot of
questions to ask you.

That's going to be
kind of hard.

You see,
i don't have much to say.

[Banging on door]

I don't like it here.

Where's
the psychiatric ward?

Uh, elevator's down the hall
and on the right.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Have you lost interest
in social activities?

You mean like
playing the fiddle

or going to
the barn dance?

Yes.

There's never enough
time during the day.

I sleep at night.

Mr. dearborn,

have you ever had
any long relationships?

I had a dog.

With another human.

I have friends.

Friends?

Don't you know
what they are?

What are we trying to
establish here, Mr. dearborn,

is whether you have
physical contact with anyone.

Do you ever have
suicidal thoughts?

That's...

Not a very kind thing

to ask a fella
you don't even know.

Uh, hello,
I'm Dr. Valerie crane,

and I believe you have
a man under 72-hour hold.

He was brought in today.
His name is dearborn.

Oh, yes, the doctors
are with him now.

Where is he?
I need to see him.

He's being evaluated.

I'll need clearance
to take you back there.

I want you to listen to me
very carefully.

If there's been
one tiny infraction

I'll have the board of
medical quality assurance

you won't be able
to get another job

for the rest
of your life.

Is that enough
clearance for you?

Down the hall on
the left. Room 315.

Wait. I have to
notify the doctors

that you're coming.

Then notify them.
Wait!

Do you ever recall
having trouble

suppressing
disturbing thoughts?

What do you mean?

Well, do you ever
have bad thoughts

that you
cannot hold inside?

Well...

I'm starting to feel

that you people
ought to be ashamed

of asking
all these questions

that don't mean nothing.

Gentlemen,
I'm Dr. crane.

Noah, would you go with
this young lady for a moment?

I have some information
for the doctors

that they'll be
more than interested to hear.

Never taught you
one bit of manners.

Are you all right?

I don't like hospitals.

Too many sick people.

I feel like you deserve
a very big apology

for what's happened.

I'm not the only one
who owes it to you.

You ever been
in a car like this?

Yes. fella gave me
a ride to work

in one
lots like this one.

Can't understand much.

You mean why they took you
from your property?

So many buttons
and gadgets.

What?

Can't understand why

folks need to know more
than how fast they're travelin'

and how much gas
is in the tank.

No, I know you're not gonna
like what I'm gonna say,

but we have a term for what
you're doing right now.

It's called avoidance.
You see...

You're making your mind
think about something else

in order to not deal with
what you're really feeling.

Noah?

Truck.

[Horn honks]

Oh, my god!

[Horn honks]

Ohh.

Maybe there should
be a button

for keeping you
to go straight.

She did what?

You--you didn't--

no. don't--don't
get hysterical.

No, you--you're not
gonna lose your licenses.

Just sit tight.

Yeah. ok.

This machine's
out of money.

I'll just write a check.

I'll be right back.

Woman: honey,
i have the receipt.

Man: all right.

[Beeping]

Hmmph! darn thing
is always out of money

when you need it most.

Person:
i don't want to go.

[Barks]

Hope I didn't take
too long.

No.

[Whimpering]

Shall we go?

Valerie: thank you for
spending the day with me.

I guess it was kind of
selfish of me to keep you.

Oh.

Um, I bought you
some books.

Oh, I didn't even
think to ask you.

"Book of five rings"?

If you wanted to know
if I read,

you might've just asked.

"Wuthering heights."

It's a classic.

It's about doomed
and unrequited love.

It's one of my favorites,
and I thought you--

[cow moos]

Noah, I know Silas
was a great man,

and he taught you
really well...

But he didn't teach you
everything.

We need other people
to survive.

Sun's going down.

I got things to do.

More questions tomorrow?

No.

I'm going to be leaving.

I think I'll go visit
my parents' farm.

Then I should
thank you now

for looking after me
when you did.

Thank you.

Noah.

Yeah?

You don't have
to give up your land.

I don't aim to.

I'm sorry, what I said
before in the car

about denial.

I guess it's just
my nature to...

Try to help.

Don't get your dander
up, young lady.

I wasn't paying much
attention to it anyhow.

I'd really like to spend...

Never mind.

Bye.

That word you used--

avoid something
or other?

I thought you weren't
paying attention.

I'm going to miss you.

Young lady...

If you find yourself
back this way,

and you need some money,

you don't have to fret
with a machine.

I got plenty
under the mattress.

[Laughs]

Thank you.

[Starts engine]

[Rooster crows]

[Cows moo]

[Thunder]

Down creek.

You set it
down there yet?

Yeah, see,
the property line...

Oh, good morning.

Did you sleep well?

Well enough.
Thank you.

Are you leaving us
so soon?

Yes, I am.

I'm sorry to see you go.

Well, I'll get
your bill.

Be just a moment, dear.

You have a lovely family.

Yes, I have.

Do you have children?

No.

A fine young lady
like you

will have a prince
real soon.

Unfortunately, he's old enough
to be my grandfather.

Are--are you
those people

who come to build
the shopping center?

No, I'm happy to say.

No. no, I'm not.

It's a shame about Noah.

You know Mr. dearborn?

Oh, my.

Some say
when god comes down

to vacation on earth,

he stays at Noah's.

That's why people
keep him such a secret.

Oh.

He's the prince
you're referring to.

I saw you riding
with him in town.

Oh, it's nothing to be
embarrassed about, my dear.

My, you won't be
the first

to fall under his spell.

It's been happening longer
than you can imagine.

I'm sure you're right.

I feel sorry
for those city people.

Why is that?

If they uproot Noah,

they're flirting
with Providence.

Most people are at odds

about this new
shopping center.

Some families are even
split up over it.

They say it will
bring more jobs,

more--

how you say it--

revenue?

Well, they can go
piss off.

This town is just fine

the way it is.

[Vehicle approaches]

[Clock ticking]

[Clock chiming]

[Rumbling]

[Woman coughing]

Get a blanket, Noah.

All right.

Here.

[Coughs]

Mother.

Mom.

Mom.

You'll be all right.

Noah: Silas.

[Ticking]

[Woman laughs]

[People chattering]

Man: just pass your plate
right over here.

[Bird cries]

[Bird cries]

Hmm.

Hmm.

[Mooing]

[Rumbling]

[Neighs]

[Brays]

[Wings flapping]

[Vehicle approaches]

Can I speak
to Christian Nelson, please?

Well, where is he?

What do you mean,
he's breaking ground today?

That's good.
Hold it right there.

Good, good, good.
Now down.

Oh, my god.

[Honks horn]

[Engine running]

[Engine running]

You all right?

[Cow moos]

You have to talk.

It's ok to be angry.

[Vehicle beeping]

Don't let this
get to you.

Christian is trying
to force your hand.

He's trying
to upset you.

The important thing
is to remember

that you didn't do
anything.

I'm not selling my land.

I know.

Believe me, I know.

This is my home.

Used to be nice.

Now...

It's terrible.

It's noisy.

I got work to do,

but I can't seem to do it.

I can't think with all this.

You have to trust me.

I'll be right back.

[Starts engine]

That's it. Good.

Tony, I want you to bring
the rig on in.

Hey, Valerie.

What are you doing?

What's it look like
we're doing?

You can't force him
off his property.

I--i do feel terrible
about this.

It's just that we have
to break ground

or else all my investors
are going to back out on me.

Investors?

Yeah.

He doesn't want
your money.

You're a real
son of a bitch,

you know that?

You have no character.

You have no idea
what's real.

You never have.

Because I was
doing this for us, ok?

I was doing this
for our relationship.

I make my living
consoling people

I promise you,
I'll have no trouble

finding my way
out of this one.

I think
you're making a--

[tires squeal]

I think you're making
a big mistake!

Man:
hey, what's she doing?

[Yelling]

[Crash]

[Turns off engine]

Man:
is anybody hurt?

[Men yelling]

Driver: I didn't see
anybody behind me.

Man: get her out!
Get her out!

[Mooing]

[Men yelling]

Come on, pull.
Pull! Come on!

It's stuck.

Open the other side.

Come on, help me--
on 3.

1, 2...

Aah!
it's no use.

Quick,
get out of the way.

It's me.

Ohh.

Uhh.

[Groans]

Ok.

Ok.

There we go. Easy.
You got her neck there?

You're going
to be ok.

[Breathing heavily]

Thanks, Mr. dearborn.

You didn't come
a minute too soon.

Uhh!

It's ok to be angry.

It's ok...

To be angry.

I'm not going
to be able to set this

if you don't hold still.

It's making it
worse. Oh.

Ow. ow, ow.
Stop that.

[Footsteps]

Hi.

Well, hello.

Noah said you got hurt
trying to help him.

Valerie: I did.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too--

no, no. It takes
more than a few days

to understand Noah,
you know.

I've been breaking
furniture for 20 years

just to get him
to come and visit me.

[Both laugh]

Here.

[Laughs]

Oh...

Oh, thank you.

You're welcome.
Thanks.

What you making?

Oh, a sweater.

It--it's for my mom.

Oh, it's pretty.

Thank you.
Do you knit?

Yeah, I do.

[Train whistle blows]

So, how much longer

did they say
you had to stay here?

Well, tomorrow,
i get my walking cast,

and then I can go.

Oh, that's good.

Mmm.

These are incredible.

[Laughs]
thank you.

I'm glad you
like them.

Excuse me, but there's
a gentleman here to see you.

Ohh.

I didn't come
to draw a long bow.

I hope you get better...

Real soon.

Thank you.

I read those books.

I like one.
Ha ha.

Didn't care much
for heathcliff, though.

[Laughs]

Having a hunger
for some of your pies.

Oh, well, I got some ready
for the oven,

but nothing's broken.

That's fine.

As long as you could
use the visit.

Of course I could.

I'll wait outside
for you.

I still don't like
hospitals.

[Laughs]

Ah, Noah...

I never liked
hospitals, either.

Ok.

Take care of yourself.

You need anything,
you call me.

I'll see you
when you get out, now.

Ok. thank you.
Bye.

I hope you heal well.

Good morning.

Good morning.

[Stops working]

Good morning,
young lady.

Good news.

Christian and his company

they've decided to move on
to a new location.

They're not coming back.

That's mighty nice
to hear.

I hope you don't mind.

I brought you something.

It's a surprise.

[Cow moos]

[Laughs]

Come on.

[Laughs]

It doesn't have a name.

He will before sundown.

[Chuckles]

[Both laugh]

My goodness sake.

[Laughs]

That's a little fella.
