Good morning, and welcome back
to News <i>On The Go, where</i>our own

00:02:22,797 --> 00:02:26,698
Megan Williams is once again
heading up this year's Channel 6

00:02:26,801 --> 00:02:28,286
Christmas toy drive.

8
00:02:28,389 --> 00:02:29,425
That's right, Bart.

9
00:02:29,528 --> 00:02:31,254
It's that time of year
where people from all

10
00:02:31,358 --> 00:02:32,669
across the community
are dropping

11
00:02:32,773 --> 00:02:34,188
off presents for the children.

12
00:02:34,292 --> 00:02:36,190
From talking dolls
to durable trucks,

13
00:02:36,294 --> 00:02:37,502
we have something for everyone.

14
00:02:37,605 --> 00:02:40,401
My kids just loved the Furby.

15
00:02:40,505 --> 00:02:41,402
What's a Furby?

16
00:02:41,506 --> 00:02:42,576
Oh.

17
00:02:42,679 --> 00:02:48,340
Gen Z. It's the cutest
furry little gremlin.

18
00:02:48,444 --> 00:02:50,273
It even has its own language.

19
00:02:50,377 --> 00:02:55,589
Wee, tee-tok, tuck-tuck,
tuck-tuck-tuck, woo!

20
00:02:55,692 --> 00:02:57,142
[chuckles]

21
00:03:01,698 --> 00:03:02,423
Ugh.

22
00:03:02,527 --> 00:03:04,701
Still empty.

23
00:03:04,805 --> 00:03:08,498
That can't be the best
feel-good story you got.

24
00:03:08,602 --> 00:03:10,949
Well, we do that
story every year, Scott.

25
00:03:11,052 --> 00:03:11,812
SCOTT: Do me a favor.

26
00:03:11,915 --> 00:03:12,882
Find a new one, Megan.

27
00:03:16,506 --> 00:03:17,956
[sighs]

28
00:03:19,992 --> 00:03:20,786
OK.

31
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:33,937
Already did that.

"Winning lottery

33
00:03:38,563 --> 00:03:42,049

"Lost engagement ring found."

35
00:03:44,362 --> 00:03:45,708
Don't have one of those yet.

36
00:03:51,921 --> 00:03:52,956
NICOLE: "Hi, Megan.

37
00:03:53,060 --> 00:03:54,544
I'm a single mom.

38
00:03:54,648 --> 00:03:59,584
My daughter Jessie has ASD
or autism spectrum disorder.

39
00:03:59,687 --> 00:04:03,035
For the past year, I've taken
her to Roanoke Ranch, which

40
00:04:03,139 --> 00:04:05,797
has been very therapeutic
for her and the other kids

41
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:07,350
with autism.

42
00:04:07,454 --> 00:04:10,491
Sadly, the ranch is
in financial trouble,

43
00:04:10,595 --> 00:04:14,012
and the owner is the
sweetest woman in the world.

44
00:04:14,115 --> 00:04:16,739
I'd hate to see
her lose the ranch.

45
00:04:16,842 --> 00:04:18,568
Maybe you can let
people know what

46
00:04:18,672 --> 00:04:20,674
a gift it is for moms like me.

47
00:04:20,777 --> 00:04:23,263
People seem more generous
during the holiday season,

48
00:04:23,366 --> 00:04:25,851
so maybe they can just
find it in their hearts

49
00:04:25,955 --> 00:04:28,371
to donate to keep it going.

50
00:04:28,475 --> 00:04:29,855
Thank you for your time.

51
00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:33,583
Sincerely, Nicole Carson."

Roanoke Ranch For Kids.

53
00:04:37,829 --> 00:04:39,071
I'll visit this weekend.

54
00:04:45,146 --> 00:04:46,424
Hey.
Oh.

55
00:04:46,527 --> 00:04:47,252
Oh, no.

56
00:04:47,356 --> 00:04:48,633
Was that the last of the coffee?

57
00:04:48,736 --> 00:04:49,806
Oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry.

58
00:04:49,910 --> 00:04:50,635
MEGAN: Oh.

59
00:04:50,738 --> 00:04:53,431
Megan, you're back in two.

60
00:04:53,534 --> 00:04:54,949
BRAD: I'm really sorry.

61
00:04:55,053 --> 00:04:56,779
No, it's OK.

62
00:04:56,882 --> 00:04:59,160
Normally, one of the college
interns brings me my coffee,

63
00:04:59,264 --> 00:05:01,197
but that didn't happen
this morning, so I thought

64
00:05:01,301 --> 00:05:03,682
pot in the green room and--

65
00:05:03,786 --> 00:05:05,132
it's OK.

66
00:05:05,235 --> 00:05:06,858
You can do this, Meghan.

67
00:05:06,961 --> 00:05:10,379
Well, I guess I owe you a cup?

68
00:05:10,482 --> 00:05:12,001
Yeah, you do.

69
00:05:12,104 --> 00:05:12,829
Meghan!

70
00:05:12,933 --> 00:05:15,556
Yeah?

71
00:05:15,660 --> 00:05:17,489
Oh, OK, OK.

72
00:05:17,593 --> 00:05:18,456
I'm Megan.

73
00:05:18,559 --> 00:05:19,284
Bye.

74
00:05:19,388 --> 00:05:20,181
Coming!

00:05:24,358 --> 00:05:25,325
JENNIFER: What was that?

76
00:05:25,428 --> 00:05:26,118
MEGAN: Huh?

77
00:05:26,222 --> 00:05:26,981
JENNIFER: "Huh?"

78
00:05:27,085 --> 00:05:28,120
Really?

79
00:05:28,224 --> 00:05:29,190
His name's Brad.

80
00:05:29,294 --> 00:05:31,469
He's a lawyer in Tom's
10:00 AM segment.

81
00:05:31,572 --> 00:05:33,160
And I saw how you
were looking at him.

82
00:05:33,263 --> 00:05:34,679
Your phone's ringing.

83
00:05:34,782 --> 00:05:35,645
Is it though?

84
00:05:35,749 --> 00:05:38,614
MEGAN: Always keep it on silent.

85
00:05:38,717 --> 00:05:39,718
OK, Merry Christmas.

86
00:05:39,822 --> 00:05:40,616
Go.

87
00:05:44,171 --> 00:05:45,517
Maybe it will be.

88
00:05:45,621 --> 00:05:46,553
Go.

Hi there.

00:06:44,783 --> 00:06:45,508
Hello.

94
00:06:45,612 --> 00:06:47,372
I'm looking for Anne Devon.

95
00:06:47,476 --> 00:06:48,925
Are you a new volunteer here?

96
00:06:49,029 --> 00:06:50,720
Because those shoes
are going to get ruined

97
00:06:50,824 --> 00:06:52,584
in about five minutes out here.

98
00:06:52,688 --> 00:06:54,621
No, I'm a news producer.

99
00:06:54,724 --> 00:06:55,449
HILARY: Oh.

100
00:06:55,553 --> 00:06:56,933
What do you want with Anne?

101
00:06:57,037 --> 00:06:59,660
MEGAN: I was thinking
of doing a story on her.

102
00:06:59,764 --> 00:07:04,251
But who is that
guy, the cowboy guy?

103
00:07:04,354 --> 00:07:05,701
He looks familiar.

104
00:07:05,804 --> 00:07:07,288
What kind of story?

105
00:07:07,392 --> 00:07:08,635
MEGAN: Oh.

106
00:07:08,738 --> 00:07:11,120
Well, I heard the ranch was
in trouble financially and--

107
00:07:11,223 --> 00:07:12,673
Anne is a strong woman.

108
00:07:12,777 --> 00:07:14,399
She'll get through it.

109
00:07:14,503 --> 00:07:16,988
Well, I didn't
catch your name.

110
00:07:17,091 --> 00:07:18,265
Hilary.

111
00:07:18,368 --> 00:07:19,922
Anne's in the main house.

112
00:07:20,025 --> 00:07:21,786
You can go on in.

113
00:07:21,889 --> 00:07:24,996
Thank you.

116
00:07:54,197 --> 00:07:56,786
Cup of coffee guy?

117
00:07:56,890 --> 00:07:57,718
No.

118
00:07:57,822 --> 00:07:58,616
No.

119
00:08:01,135 --> 00:08:01,964
[beeping]

120
00:08:02,067 --> 00:08:03,241
Hi.

121
00:08:03,344 --> 00:08:04,553
Anne?

122
00:08:04,656 --> 00:08:05,588
Yes?

123
00:08:05,692 --> 00:08:06,589
MEGAN: Megan Williams.

124
00:08:06,693 --> 00:08:08,557
Hilary told me to
come right on in.

125
00:08:08,660 --> 00:08:11,387
I'm a news producer
with JTV <i>News On The Go.</i>

126
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:12,630
ANNE: Oh.

127
00:08:12,733 --> 00:08:13,907
Nice to meet you, Megan.

128
00:08:14,010 --> 00:08:14,770
Likewise.

129
00:08:14,873 --> 00:08:16,496
Do you have a minute to talk?

130
00:08:16,599 --> 00:08:20,603
Well, I have some things in
the oven for the volunteers.

131
00:08:20,707 --> 00:08:23,537
But I can keep my eye on it.

132
00:08:23,641 --> 00:08:25,953
You have a beautiful home.

133
00:08:26,057 --> 00:08:27,368
ANNE: Oh, thank you.

134
00:08:27,472 --> 00:08:30,717
My husband Bill spent a ton
of time on it over the years.

135
00:08:30,820 --> 00:08:32,753
Well, have a seat.

136
00:08:32,857 --> 00:08:34,030
I'm making some tea.

137
00:08:34,134 --> 00:08:34,859
Would you like some?

138
00:08:34,962 --> 00:08:35,791
Oh, yes.

139
00:08:35,894 --> 00:08:37,240
Thank you.

140
00:08:37,344 --> 00:08:39,967
So, what is it you
wanted to talk about?

141
00:08:40,071 --> 00:08:41,590
Well, I read about
this place online

142
00:08:41,693 --> 00:08:44,075
at roanokeranch.com,
but I really

143
00:08:44,178 --> 00:08:45,732
- just want to hear it from you.
- Oh.

144
00:08:45,835 --> 00:08:47,388
MEGAN: Tell me about the ranch.

145
00:08:47,492 --> 00:08:51,254
ANNE: Well, to start,
I suppose you could

146
00:08:51,358 --> 00:08:53,567
call this an animal sanctuary.

147
00:08:53,671 --> 00:08:56,501
Every horse you see
out there is a rescue.

148
00:08:56,605 --> 00:08:57,295
MEGAN: Wow.

149
00:08:57,398 --> 00:08:58,399
ANNE: Mm-hmm.

150
00:08:58,503 --> 00:09:00,470
But that's just the
tip of the iceberg.

151
00:09:00,574 --> 00:09:02,887
Too many people rely
on psychiatrists

152
00:09:02,990 --> 00:09:06,200
and their medications
when all they really need

153
00:09:06,304 --> 00:09:09,341
is a healthy dose of outdoors.

154
00:09:09,445 --> 00:09:12,690
We believe in animal therapy.

155
00:09:12,793 --> 00:09:15,451
Every day, during
the warm months,

156
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:18,558
we have another group out here.

157
00:09:18,661 --> 00:09:23,079
You can't imagine how many
groups that we have helped.

158
00:09:23,183 --> 00:09:27,532
Groups for the blind,
returning veterans with PTSD,

159
00:09:27,636 --> 00:09:30,155
and, of course, the
troubled children.

160
00:09:30,259 --> 00:09:33,503
My husband Bill
believed in work.

161
00:09:33,607 --> 00:09:37,404
So when a young man or woman
comes out to the ranch,

162
00:09:37,507 --> 00:09:41,960
they're given a task before
they can ride a horse.

163
00:09:42,064 --> 00:09:46,724
A lot of them have never
done an honest hour of work,

164
00:09:46,827 --> 00:09:48,933
even raking leaves.

165
00:09:49,036 --> 00:09:50,762
But here, they're happy to.

166
00:09:50,866 --> 00:09:55,456
Because we show them love
and the joy of horses.

167
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:58,494
Just one day on
the ranch can give

168
00:09:58,598 --> 00:10:00,876
a child a new start in life.

169
00:10:00,979 --> 00:10:05,708
Give us a whole month and we
hope to put them on a new path.

170
00:10:05,812 --> 00:10:06,502
Yes.

171
00:10:06,606 --> 00:10:08,124
Nicole Carson emailed me.

172
00:10:08,228 --> 00:10:12,991
ANNE: Oh, Nicole is a doll,
and her daughter Jessie

173
00:10:13,095 --> 00:10:15,373
is just a ray of sunshine.

174
00:10:15,476 --> 00:10:19,308
But why did Nicole email you?

175
00:10:19,411 --> 00:10:22,552
Well, she said you're
in trouble, financially.

176
00:10:22,656 --> 00:10:24,002
ANNE: Oh.

177
00:10:24,106 --> 00:10:25,659
I see.

178
00:10:25,763 --> 00:10:27,523
Is that true?

179
00:10:27,627 --> 00:10:31,665
Yes, that's true.

180
00:10:31,769 --> 00:10:36,290
The Roanoke Ranch is a
501[c][3] charity, and we

181
00:10:36,394 --> 00:10:38,603
depend heavily on donations.

182
00:10:38,707 --> 00:10:41,054
But things have changed
since my husband

183
00:10:41,157 --> 00:10:43,125
and I started the sanctuary.

184
00:10:43,228 --> 00:10:49,407
With these economy,
donations are down.

185
00:10:49,510 --> 00:10:51,823
But there is a silver lining.

186
00:10:51,927 --> 00:10:52,652
Oh?

187
00:10:52,755 --> 00:10:53,618
Well, what's that?

188
00:10:53,722 --> 00:10:55,620
A real estate
development company

189
00:10:55,724 --> 00:11:02,731
is interested in buying
the ranch or the property,

190
00:11:02,834 --> 00:11:03,870
I suppose.

191
00:11:03,973 --> 00:11:07,425
Development, you know,
subdivisions, all that.

192
00:11:07,528 --> 00:11:10,359
Well, do you and your
husband want to sell?

193
00:11:10,462 --> 00:11:14,328
My husband passed
away 11 months ago.

194
00:11:14,432 --> 00:11:15,226
Oh.

195
00:11:15,329 --> 00:11:19,023
Anne, I'm sorry.

196
00:11:19,126 --> 00:11:21,991
You and me both.

197
00:11:22,095 --> 00:11:24,649
It's really been hard.

198
00:11:24,753 --> 00:11:29,516
But when I see all the
children we have helped,

199
00:11:29,619 --> 00:11:32,070
I can only be thankful.

200
00:11:32,174 --> 00:11:33,175
Do you have kids?

201
00:11:33,278 --> 00:11:35,936
It wasn't in the cards
for me to have children.

202
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,732
But with the hundreds
of needy kids

203
00:11:38,836 --> 00:11:42,909
that have come through here
and the ones that we've helped,

204
00:11:43,012 --> 00:11:44,738
well, they've taken their place.

205
00:11:44,842 --> 00:11:47,396
And I have a nephew.

206
00:11:47,499 --> 00:11:51,365
I would really like to feature
you in a new segment, Anne.

207
00:11:51,469 --> 00:11:53,195
Maybe we could get
enough donations

208
00:11:53,298 --> 00:11:54,852
to help you not sell the ranch.

209
00:11:54,955 --> 00:11:56,646
You can do that?

210
00:11:56,750 --> 00:11:58,234
I'll do my best.

211
00:11:58,338 --> 00:12:01,479
Oh, that's wonderful.

212
00:12:01,582 --> 00:12:03,067
Would you like to
stay for lunch?

213
00:12:03,170 --> 00:12:04,447
Can you?

214
00:12:04,551 --> 00:12:07,312
Oh, I would love to, but I
have to get back to the office.

215
00:12:07,416 --> 00:12:09,832
But here's my card.

216
00:12:09,936 --> 00:12:12,421
Call or email me, and we
will set up a time for me

217
00:12:12,524 --> 00:12:14,941
to come back, and I will
walk you through the shoot.

218
00:12:15,044 --> 00:12:17,288
Meantime, if it's
OK with you, I would

219
00:12:17,391 --> 00:12:18,945
like to put a crew
together to come out

220
00:12:19,048 --> 00:12:21,119
and do some filming this week.

221
00:12:21,223 --> 00:12:24,191
Oh, well, look at
me, a TV celebrity.

222
00:12:24,295 --> 00:12:25,917
[laughter]

223
00:12:32,579 --> 00:12:34,926
Lunch is on!

224
00:12:35,030 --> 00:12:36,065
[horse neighing]

225
00:12:36,169 --> 00:12:36,894
Anne.

226
00:12:36,997 --> 00:12:37,826
Huh?

227
00:12:37,929 --> 00:12:39,517
Who's that guy
in the cowboy hat?

228
00:12:39,620 --> 00:12:41,588
ANNE: Oh, that's Brad Bennett.

229
00:12:41,691 --> 00:12:43,832
Always lived by the cowboy code.

230
00:12:43,935 --> 00:12:47,111
That's one of the
reasons I adore him.

231
00:12:47,214 --> 00:12:48,768
He's single.

232
00:12:48,871 --> 00:12:50,873
No, I wasn't--

233
00:12:50,977 --> 00:12:53,393
no, I-- I'm not looking
for a boyfriend.

234
00:12:53,496 --> 00:12:54,497
Why not?

235
00:12:54,601 --> 00:12:55,705
There's no time.

236
00:12:55,809 --> 00:12:57,086
Oh, find time, dear.

237
00:12:57,190 --> 00:13:01,850
Because life goes by
in the blink of an eye.

238
00:13:01,953 --> 00:13:02,851
You having fun?

239
00:13:02,954 --> 00:13:03,644
Oh, yeah.

240
00:13:03,748 --> 00:13:04,956
Yeah?

241
00:13:05,060 --> 00:13:07,856
You come out often.

242
00:13:07,959 --> 00:13:11,066
Brad, you still owe
me that cup of coffee.

243
00:13:14,828 --> 00:13:17,037
She started the ranch with
the help of her husband.

244
00:13:17,141 --> 00:13:18,798
And ever since his
passing, she runs

245
00:13:18,901 --> 00:13:20,454
it with the help of volunteers.

246
00:13:20,558 --> 00:13:22,525
So I think it really could
tug on the heartstrings

247
00:13:22,629 --> 00:13:25,839
and maybe garner some donations
to help keep the ranch afloat.

248
00:13:25,943 --> 00:13:26,771
I like it.

249
00:13:26,875 --> 00:13:28,083
I think it'll be
good for ratings.

250
00:13:28,186 --> 00:13:30,188
When do you think you can
have it ready for broadcast?

251
00:13:30,292 --> 00:13:31,672
MEGAN: Well, I want to spend
time with her this week,

252
00:13:31,776 --> 00:13:33,122
and then I can
edit this weekend.

253
00:13:33,226 --> 00:13:34,227
So next week?

254
00:13:34,330 --> 00:13:35,711
SCOTT: I want you
to edit for airing

255
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:37,161
Thursday night, Christmas Eve.

256
00:13:37,264 --> 00:13:38,058
OK.

257
00:13:48,551 --> 00:13:49,759
Did you find a better story?

258
00:13:49,863 --> 00:13:52,624
Yeah, I think I found--

259
00:13:52,728 --> 00:13:55,110
you know toy drive
is a good story.

260
00:13:55,213 --> 00:13:56,456
OK.

261
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,733
It is.

262
00:13:57,837 --> 00:13:59,183
OK.

263
00:13:59,286 --> 00:14:00,184
OK, fine.

264
00:14:00,287 --> 00:14:01,668
I found a ranch
that helps children,

265
00:14:01,771 --> 00:14:02,876
and they're in financial aid.

266
00:14:02,980 --> 00:14:03,670
JENNIFER: Perfect.

267
00:14:03,773 --> 00:14:05,051
- Where do we start?
- We?

268
00:14:05,154 --> 00:14:07,156
JENNIFER: And what's new
on the cute lawyer friend?

269
00:14:07,260 --> 00:14:08,468
Nothing is.

270
00:14:08,571 --> 00:14:10,125
OK, well, he works at the ranch.

271
00:14:10,228 --> 00:14:11,471
You're kidding me.

272
00:14:11,574 --> 00:14:12,265
OMG.

273
00:14:12,368 --> 00:14:13,438
This is perfect!

274
00:14:13,542 --> 00:14:15,233
Let's hear the scoop.

275
00:14:15,337 --> 00:14:16,407
How old are you?

276
00:14:16,510 --> 00:14:17,339
19.

277
00:14:17,442 --> 00:14:18,305
How old are you?

278
00:14:18,409 --> 00:14:20,583
I'm 29.

279
00:14:20,687 --> 00:14:21,688
31.

280
00:14:21,791 --> 00:14:23,103
You know, that's none
of your business,

281
00:14:23,207 --> 00:14:24,553
and that is not appropriate.

282
00:14:24,656 --> 00:14:25,347
Why not?

283
00:14:25,450 --> 00:14:26,555
You asked me.

284
00:14:26,658 --> 00:14:28,177
Well, you're an intern.

285
00:14:28,281 --> 00:14:32,319
I'm a fully grown adult. Adult?

286
00:14:32,423 --> 00:14:33,424
Woman.

287
00:14:33,527 --> 00:14:34,218
Adult woman.

288
00:14:34,321 --> 00:14:35,736
Female.

289
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,980
You don't know what
words you're going to say.

290
00:14:38,084 --> 00:14:38,947
I do.

291
00:14:39,050 --> 00:14:40,776
JENNIFER: You
started with woman,

292
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,606
changed your mind to
adult, changed it back

293
00:14:43,710 --> 00:14:45,125
and spit that nonsense out.

294
00:14:45,229 --> 00:14:46,609
I do it all the time.

295
00:14:46,713 --> 00:14:48,266
Are you planning on
wearing those jeans?

296
00:14:48,370 --> 00:14:50,820
MEGAN: OK, Jennifer, what I
wear is none of your business.

297
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,377
They're no good?

298
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,586
You're really
beautiful, Megan.

299
00:14:57,689 --> 00:14:58,552
Thank you.

300
00:14:58,656 --> 00:15:00,934
But the mom jeans
are not helping.

301
00:15:01,038 --> 00:15:02,280
Well.

302
00:15:02,384 --> 00:15:03,316
Girls trip to the mall.

303
00:15:03,419 --> 00:15:04,317
Come.

304
00:15:04,420 --> 00:15:07,907
[light music]

305
00:16:03,479 --> 00:16:05,585
Holy hotness.

306
00:16:05,688 --> 00:16:08,450
New Megan is definitely making
time for a cup of coffee.

307
00:16:18,218 --> 00:16:19,633
[horse neighing]

308
00:16:24,569 --> 00:16:25,363
Brad?

309
00:16:32,784 --> 00:16:35,339
So, you found my secret.

310
00:16:35,442 --> 00:16:37,444
A lawyer and a cowboy.

311
00:16:37,548 --> 00:16:39,308
I like to go for a
ride in the morning,

312
00:16:39,412 --> 00:16:41,000
clear my head before
I hit the office.

313
00:16:41,103 --> 00:16:43,278
And then my aunt
makes me breakfast.

314
00:16:43,381 --> 00:16:44,382
That sounds lovely.

315
00:16:44,486 --> 00:16:45,797
It's been a routine for years.

316
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:49,560
Listen--

317
00:16:49,663 --> 00:16:50,940
Megan.

318
00:16:51,044 --> 00:16:54,634
BRAD: Megan, Aunt Anne doesn't
have anything or anybody.

319
00:16:54,737 --> 00:16:56,256
She seems to have you.

320
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,500
BRAD: Yes, she does.

321
00:16:58,603 --> 00:17:00,364
And I'm sure you
have good intentions,

322
00:17:00,467 --> 00:17:03,022
but you should probably just go.

323
00:17:03,125 --> 00:17:03,850
What?

324
00:17:03,953 --> 00:17:06,266
BRAD: Anne is trusting and good.

325
00:17:06,370 --> 00:17:10,788
And other words for those
are naive and gullible.

326
00:17:10,891 --> 00:17:12,617
Listen, I know how this goes.

327
00:17:12,721 --> 00:17:14,378
She gets her hopes
up for Christmas,

328
00:17:14,481 --> 00:17:16,759
and then we have the
blizzard of a century.

329
00:17:16,863 --> 00:17:18,175
And then you don't
run the story.

330
00:17:18,278 --> 00:17:19,797
MEGAN: OK, the
blizzard of a century

331
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:21,695
only happens once
per century, Brad.

332
00:17:21,799 --> 00:17:23,628
BRAD: But the odds of
even raising enough money

333
00:17:23,732 --> 00:17:26,666
to save the ranch--

334
00:17:26,769 --> 00:17:30,911
go inside, say hello,
have a cup of coffee,

335
00:17:31,015 --> 00:17:32,741
and then just be on your way.

336
00:17:32,844 --> 00:17:34,915
I just think if you would
listen to what I wanted--

337
00:17:35,019 --> 00:17:36,710
This isn't helping
me clear my head.

338
00:17:36,814 --> 00:17:38,436
Have a good morning.

339
00:17:38,540 --> 00:17:39,989
[horse neighing]

340
00:17:44,787 --> 00:17:47,169
[scoffs] Oh, well,
that's where cowboy of you.

341
00:17:47,273 --> 00:17:50,690
Get the last word
in and ride off.

342
00:17:50,793 --> 00:17:51,794
Can't say I love that.

343
00:17:55,522 --> 00:17:58,939
[light music]

344
00:18:05,429 --> 00:18:06,878
Hi, Anne.

345
00:18:06,982 --> 00:18:07,672
Oh.

346
00:18:07,776 --> 00:18:09,018
Oh, good morning, dear.

347
00:18:09,122 --> 00:18:11,124
I was just looking
out at my horses.

348
00:18:11,228 --> 00:18:13,989
MEGAN: Have you
always loved horses?

349
00:18:14,093 --> 00:18:17,889
When I was six, I asked
Santa Claus for a pony.

350
00:18:17,993 --> 00:18:19,684
The rest is history.

351
00:18:19,788 --> 00:18:22,204
MEGAN: Are you getting ready
for your annual Christmas party?

352
00:18:22,308 --> 00:18:23,930
I saw photos on the website.

353
00:18:24,033 --> 00:18:25,000
ANNE: Oh.

354
00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:27,796
I'm not sure I can
throw a party this year.

355
00:18:27,899 --> 00:18:31,040
Between losing Bill and
now losing the ranch,

356
00:18:31,144 --> 00:18:33,491
I don't know if
I'll feel up for it.

357
00:18:33,595 --> 00:18:35,044
I see.

358
00:18:35,148 --> 00:18:36,391
Would you like some green tea?

359
00:18:36,494 --> 00:18:39,048
MEGAN: Oh, please.

360
00:18:39,152 --> 00:18:42,017
So if you were to throw a party
this year, when would that be?

361
00:18:42,121 --> 00:18:45,469
ANNE: Well, it's always
on Christmas Eve.

362
00:18:45,572 --> 00:18:49,300
It's our way of giving back
to the volunteers and all

363
00:18:49,404 --> 00:18:51,854
of the people in the community
who have been so supportive

364
00:18:51,958 --> 00:18:55,927
with their donations.

365
00:18:56,031 --> 00:18:58,482
Mm.

366
00:18:58,585 --> 00:19:00,311
Listen to me.

367
00:19:00,415 --> 00:19:05,316
Just one question from you and
I spoke the truth out loud.

368
00:19:05,420 --> 00:19:07,180
The party's not for me.

369
00:19:07,284 --> 00:19:10,114
It's important to others.

370
00:19:10,218 --> 00:19:12,668
Thank you for coming
over this morning, Megan.

371
00:19:12,772 --> 00:19:14,739
I will go forward with it.

372
00:19:14,843 --> 00:19:15,602
Oh!

373
00:19:15,706 --> 00:19:16,569
Oh, you're welcome.

374
00:19:16,672 --> 00:19:19,572
I'm so glad to hear that.

375
00:19:19,675 --> 00:19:21,021
So about the new story.

376
00:19:21,125 --> 00:19:23,403
ANNE: Yes?

377
00:19:23,507 --> 00:19:26,372
I really think this could
turn things around for you.

378
00:19:26,475 --> 00:19:28,097
I knew you would come through.

379
00:19:28,201 --> 00:19:29,340
I'm--

380
00:19:29,444 --> 00:19:31,825
ANNE: Brad doubted that you
could raise the $100,000

381
00:19:31,929 --> 00:19:33,620
needed to maintain the ranch.

382
00:19:33,724 --> 00:19:36,968
But I told him to have faith.

383
00:19:37,072 --> 00:19:40,040
I didn't know that.

384
00:19:40,144 --> 00:19:41,283
$100,000?

385
00:19:41,387 --> 00:19:43,354
Anne, that's a lot of money.

386
00:19:43,458 --> 00:19:44,804
I was surprised, too.

387
00:19:44,907 --> 00:19:49,395
My husband did most of the
books, all of the books, really,

388
00:19:49,498 --> 00:19:52,605
and the majority of the
work around the ranch.

389
00:19:52,708 --> 00:19:55,573
He even decorated.

390
00:19:55,677 --> 00:19:57,886
Now that he's gone--

391
00:19:57,989 --> 00:19:58,783
MEGAN: Anne.

392
00:20:03,823 --> 00:20:10,588
I just, I want to say Brad
and I talked about the story.

393
00:20:10,692 --> 00:20:13,350
ANNE: Yes, dear?

394
00:20:13,453 --> 00:20:15,662
I could decorate.

395
00:20:15,766 --> 00:20:17,802
Well, the party's in the barn.

396
00:20:17,906 --> 00:20:19,183
It's a big barn.

397
00:20:19,287 --> 00:20:21,081
MEGAN: Well, I could
just get some volunteers.

398
00:20:21,185 --> 00:20:22,600
I'll just wrangle
a few up, and they

399
00:20:22,704 --> 00:20:24,947
can come and help me like Brad.

400
00:20:25,051 --> 00:20:27,295
I thought you were
going for a ride.

401
00:20:27,398 --> 00:20:30,229
I changed my mind.

402
00:20:30,332 --> 00:20:31,230
What about me?

403
00:20:31,333 --> 00:20:32,369
ANNE: Oh.

404
00:20:32,472 --> 00:20:34,750
Megan wants to decorate
the ranch for Christmas.

405
00:20:34,854 --> 00:20:37,028
But she can't do it alone.

406
00:20:37,132 --> 00:20:39,755
Hmm.

407
00:20:39,859 --> 00:20:42,724
Anne, Earl Granger's
outside with a hay delivery.

408
00:20:42,827 --> 00:20:44,001
Says he needs a check.

409
00:20:44,104 --> 00:20:47,832
[sighs] Duty calls.

410
00:20:47,936 --> 00:20:50,870
You will help Megan with the
decorations, won't you, Brad?

411
00:20:50,973 --> 00:20:51,767
Of course.

412
00:20:58,636 --> 00:21:00,362
BRAD: Well, I guess that's that.

413
00:21:00,466 --> 00:21:03,054
So, when are you
planning on filming

414
00:21:03,158 --> 00:21:04,573
this little story of yours?

415
00:21:04,677 --> 00:21:05,816
Probably later this week.

416
00:21:05,919 --> 00:21:08,267
But I do want to get to know
Anne's backstory better.

417
00:21:08,370 --> 00:21:10,683
You know you can just look
that up on the website, right?

418
00:21:10,786 --> 00:21:14,652
MEGAN: Well, I did, but
this is just more personal.

419
00:21:14,756 --> 00:21:17,241
Well, if you're going
to go through with this,

420
00:21:17,345 --> 00:21:18,277
just don't hurt her.

421
00:21:18,380 --> 00:21:19,554
I won't.

422
00:21:19,657 --> 00:21:22,108
We'll see.

423
00:21:22,211 --> 00:21:25,801
Anyways, I can give you a
hand later today after work.

424
00:21:25,905 --> 00:21:27,700
Can we start over?

425
00:21:27,803 --> 00:21:29,080
Please?

426
00:21:29,184 --> 00:21:30,703
I'm Megan.

427
00:21:30,806 --> 00:21:32,463
Oh, I'm so sorry.

428
00:21:32,567 --> 00:21:33,913
I didn't mean to do that.

429
00:21:34,016 --> 00:21:35,052
Oh, my gosh.

430
00:21:35,155 --> 00:21:36,743
I gotta get cleaned
up to go to the office.

431
00:21:36,847 --> 00:21:38,883
You can clean this up.

432
00:21:38,987 --> 00:21:41,990
And I guess I don't owe
you a cup of coffee now.

433
00:21:46,132 --> 00:21:48,168
There goes that
cowboy thing again.

434
00:21:48,272 --> 00:21:50,792
Get the last word in and leave.

435
00:21:50,895 --> 00:21:54,140
It was more appealing
in the movies.

436
00:21:54,243 --> 00:21:55,244
I'll clean it up.

437
00:22:16,852 --> 00:22:22,064
That Earl Granger just
wouldn't wait for his checks.

438
00:22:22,168 --> 00:22:24,619
What were you doing down there?

439
00:22:24,722 --> 00:22:29,969
It's just-- well, a
little coffee mishap.

440
00:22:30,072 --> 00:22:31,902
My assistant Jennifer
and the other volunteers

441
00:22:32,005 --> 00:22:32,937
will be here soon.

442
00:22:33,041 --> 00:22:34,939
So we can start
decorating the barn.

443
00:22:35,043 --> 00:22:36,493
Oh, that's wonderful.

444
00:22:36,596 --> 00:22:37,632
Thank you.

445
00:22:37,735 --> 00:22:40,082
How many horses have you
rescued over the years?

446
00:22:40,186 --> 00:22:45,881
ANNE: Oh, well, 40-some
years, probably over 100.

447
00:22:45,985 --> 00:22:47,296
Where do you
find them from all?

448
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,850
From all over.

449
00:22:48,953 --> 00:22:50,990
But when we first
rescued them, we

450
00:22:51,093 --> 00:22:53,130
put them in our isolation
barn for about a

451
00:22:53,233 --> 00:22:55,857
week so that our
vet can examine them

452
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,205
and make sure they're healthy
enough to join the other horses.

453
00:22:59,308 --> 00:23:01,380
Take Dewey, for instance.

454
00:23:01,483 --> 00:23:05,314
He made his owners a lot
of money as a show horse.

455
00:23:05,418 --> 00:23:07,903
He even appeared
in TV commercials.

456
00:23:08,007 --> 00:23:11,666
But when he got older,
well, they neglected him.

457
00:23:11,769 --> 00:23:14,841
He was skin and bones
when he first came here.

458
00:23:14,945 --> 00:23:17,741
Now, I call him
our gentle giant.

459
00:23:17,844 --> 00:23:24,161
It's amazing what a little
care and love does for horses.

460
00:23:24,264 --> 00:23:27,578
No different than
people, really.

461
00:23:27,682 --> 00:23:29,442
Well, you make yourself at home.

462
00:23:36,656 --> 00:23:39,694
Megan, there's somebody here
that would like to meet you.

463
00:23:39,797 --> 00:23:40,833
Hi, Megan.

464
00:23:40,936 --> 00:23:41,937
I'm Nicole Carson.

465
00:23:42,041 --> 00:23:43,042
I sent you the email.

466
00:23:43,145 --> 00:23:44,112
Hi.

467
00:23:44,215 --> 00:23:45,493
- It's so nice to meet you.
- Likewise.

468
00:23:45,596 --> 00:23:46,528
This must be Jessie.

469
00:23:46,632 --> 00:23:47,426
It is.

470
00:23:50,049 --> 00:23:53,017
Hey, I cannot thank you
enough for doing this story.

471
00:23:53,121 --> 00:23:55,572
Jessie loves the horses.

472
00:23:55,675 --> 00:23:57,125
Who's your favorite
horse, Jessie?

473
00:23:57,228 --> 00:23:57,919
Bailey.

474
00:23:58,022 --> 00:23:58,816
He likes carrot.

475
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,059
Oh.

476
00:24:00,162 --> 00:24:01,750
All right, kiddo,
let's go feed Bailey.

477
00:24:01,854 --> 00:24:04,926
Hey, go have fun, OK?

478
00:24:05,029 --> 00:24:06,721
Hey, do you want to saddle up?

479
00:24:06,824 --> 00:24:07,549
OK.

480
00:24:07,653 --> 00:24:09,137
[laughing]

481
00:24:13,521 --> 00:24:20,113
You know, Brad, he's just
like the sweetest guy.

482
00:24:20,217 --> 00:24:22,391
Do you know
something that I don't?

483
00:24:22,495 --> 00:24:24,117
Why would you say that?

484
00:24:24,221 --> 00:24:26,154
Because he's standoffish.

485
00:24:26,257 --> 00:24:29,433
No, he's just being
overprotective of Anne.

486
00:24:32,816 --> 00:24:35,025
He's single, you know?

487
00:24:35,128 --> 00:24:36,647
Yeah, I've been told.
NICOLE: Mm-hmm.

488
00:24:36,751 --> 00:24:37,441
Mm-hmm.

489
00:24:37,545 --> 00:24:38,960
No, but I'm not interested.

490
00:24:39,063 --> 00:24:39,892
No.

491
00:24:39,995 --> 00:24:41,341
Mm-hmm.

492
00:24:41,445 --> 00:24:44,206
[laughter]

493
00:24:44,310 --> 00:24:46,415
I don't think so.

494
00:24:46,519 --> 00:24:49,729
But famous last words.

495
00:24:49,833 --> 00:24:53,630
I mean, I saw you guys
looking at each other.

496
00:24:53,733 --> 00:24:55,114
MEGAN: No.
There's nothing.

497
00:24:55,217 --> 00:24:56,149
Yes.
MEGAN: No.

498
00:24:56,253 --> 00:24:56,978
I--

499
00:24:57,081 --> 00:24:59,428
MEGAN: What did you see?

500
00:24:59,532 --> 00:25:02,915
[light music]

501
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,202
Might be easier to
just buy new lights.

502
00:25:14,305 --> 00:25:16,238
You know Anne is
strapped for cash.

503
00:25:16,342 --> 00:25:17,999
I wasn't being literal.

504
00:25:18,102 --> 00:25:19,656
And I told you not
to get her hopes up,

505
00:25:19,759 --> 00:25:21,416
and you went and did it anyways.

506
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:26,525
But as long as we're
doing this, I'm all in.

507
00:25:26,628 --> 00:25:27,940
I am too.

508
00:25:28,043 --> 00:25:29,044
I hope so.

509
00:25:29,148 --> 00:25:30,908
MEGAN: I'm serious.

510
00:25:31,012 --> 00:25:33,083
You know, the day
at the new sta--

511
00:25:33,186 --> 00:25:36,086
It's for Anne, Megan, not me.

512
00:25:36,189 --> 00:25:36,983
MEGAN: Of course.

513
00:25:42,023 --> 00:25:44,646
So how'd it go?

514
00:25:44,750 --> 00:25:46,061
He's not my type.

515
00:25:46,165 --> 00:25:47,166
Sure.

516
00:25:47,269 --> 00:25:50,203
He's just a strong,
handsome cowboy type who

517
00:25:50,307 --> 00:25:52,240
also happens to be a lawyer.

518
00:25:52,343 --> 00:25:54,483
Gee, I hope I never meet
anyone like him either.

519
00:25:54,587 --> 00:25:56,106
I didn't say that.

520
00:25:56,209 --> 00:25:57,521
I give up with you.

521
00:25:57,625 --> 00:25:59,212
MEGAN: No, I just--

522
00:25:59,316 --> 00:26:01,490
no, you see, he's--

523
00:26:01,594 --> 00:26:02,733
there's something about it.

524
00:26:02,837 --> 00:26:05,080
Just mm!

525
00:26:05,184 --> 00:26:07,358
Oh, will you untangle these?

526
00:26:07,462 --> 00:26:09,360
Please?

527
00:26:09,464 --> 00:26:11,190
Please?

528
00:26:11,293 --> 00:26:12,087
Thank you.

529
00:26:21,165 --> 00:26:22,960
Let's try this
again, shall we?

530
00:26:23,064 --> 00:26:23,858
Brad Bennett.

531
00:26:26,964 --> 00:26:28,587
There's no coffee
around either of us.

532
00:26:31,244 --> 00:26:32,142
Megan Williams.

533
00:26:32,245 --> 00:26:33,522
It's nice to meet you, Megan.

534
00:26:33,626 --> 00:26:35,179
Nice to meet you, Brad.

535
00:26:35,283 --> 00:26:37,630
Lunch is on!

536
00:26:37,734 --> 00:26:39,563
Actually, Megan and I
have an errand to run.

537
00:26:39,667 --> 00:26:40,944
We do?

538
00:26:41,047 --> 00:26:41,841
Yeah.

539
00:26:41,945 --> 00:26:42,739
Come on.

540
00:26:49,815 --> 00:26:51,748
Where are we going?

541
00:26:51,851 --> 00:26:52,921
It's a surprise.

542
00:26:53,025 --> 00:26:53,819
Mm.

543
00:26:58,755 --> 00:26:59,790
What size boot are you?

544
00:26:59,894 --> 00:27:00,929
Huh?

545
00:27:01,033 --> 00:27:01,758
Your foot.

546
00:27:01,861 --> 00:27:03,173
What size is it?

547
00:27:03,276 --> 00:27:05,934
Like, a size 6 or a 7?

548
00:27:06,038 --> 00:27:06,901
I'll be right back.

549
00:27:13,355 --> 00:27:15,426
Here you go.

550
00:27:15,530 --> 00:27:18,119
Huh?

551
00:27:18,222 --> 00:27:19,672
Lovely.

552
00:27:19,776 --> 00:27:22,399
If only I had a cowboy hat.

553
00:27:22,502 --> 00:27:26,368
Be careful what you wish for.

554
00:27:26,472 --> 00:27:27,749
Thanks.

555
00:27:27,853 --> 00:27:29,786
BRAD: I know it's not authentic,
but one of the volunteers

556
00:27:29,889 --> 00:27:30,649
left it behind.

557
00:27:38,139 --> 00:27:39,519
[engine revving]

558
00:27:39,623 --> 00:27:40,900
You ready?

559
00:27:41,004 --> 00:27:41,763
Yep.

560
00:27:41,867 --> 00:27:42,661
All right.

561
00:27:54,189 --> 00:27:54,914
Hi.

562
00:27:55,018 --> 00:27:56,260
Where can I find Anne?

563
00:27:56,364 --> 00:27:57,503
She's inside the house.

564
00:27:57,606 --> 00:27:58,642
You can go right in.

565
00:28:01,749 --> 00:28:03,820
DEBORAH: This listing is
worth a year's salary.

566
00:28:08,756 --> 00:28:09,688
Anne Devon?

567
00:28:09,791 --> 00:28:10,619
Yes?

568
00:28:10,723 --> 00:28:12,069
DEBORAH: I'm Deborah Montgomery.

569
00:28:12,173 --> 00:28:13,726
Josh told me that--

570
00:28:13,830 --> 00:28:14,554
ANNE: Come right in.

571
00:28:14,658 --> 00:28:16,384
Yeah, he tells that to everyone.

572
00:28:16,487 --> 00:28:18,213
Well, come right in.

573
00:28:22,045 --> 00:28:24,185
Well, if you're
here as a volunteer,

574
00:28:24,288 --> 00:28:25,704
you're a little overdressed.

575
00:28:25,807 --> 00:28:26,843
DEBORAH: Oh.

576
00:28:26,946 --> 00:28:29,190
[chuckles] I wish I had
the time to volunteer.

577
00:28:29,293 --> 00:28:35,472
I simply adore petting
horses and goats and pigs.

578
00:28:35,575 --> 00:28:37,888
I work for Mitchell and
Fields, a real estate agent.

579
00:28:37,992 --> 00:28:38,855
Oh.

580
00:28:38,958 --> 00:28:42,065
Mitchell-- Mitchell and Fields.

581
00:28:42,168 --> 00:28:43,411
Oh, right.

582
00:28:43,514 --> 00:28:46,241
I talked to somebody from
your company last week.

583
00:28:46,345 --> 00:28:48,450
I believe his name was Matt.

584
00:28:48,554 --> 00:28:50,383
Matt's no longer
with the company.

585
00:28:50,487 --> 00:28:53,628
I've been assigned
to your listing.

586
00:28:53,732 --> 00:28:56,113
Was that Megan Williams
from the morning news?

587
00:28:56,217 --> 00:28:57,563
ANNE: Yes.

588
00:28:57,666 --> 00:29:01,187
Yes, she's doing a story on the
ranch to help us raise funds,

589
00:29:01,291 --> 00:29:04,294
so we don't have to sell.

590
00:29:04,397 --> 00:29:07,504
Did you let the
agency know about this?

591
00:29:07,607 --> 00:29:08,816
Well, no.

592
00:29:08,919 --> 00:29:11,059
DEBORAH: There could be a
breach of contract, Anne.

593
00:29:11,163 --> 00:29:12,923
I didn't sign that contract.

594
00:29:13,027 --> 00:29:15,132
According to Matt, you
made a verbal agreement,

595
00:29:15,236 --> 00:29:18,618
and that's just as binding.

596
00:29:18,722 --> 00:29:20,551
I didn't realize.

597
00:29:20,655 --> 00:29:23,658
My husband always took
care of things like that.

598
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,822
What exactly are
we doing out here?

599
00:29:53,412 --> 00:29:55,034
[laughs] Relax.

600
00:29:55,138 --> 00:29:58,106
We're here to find
the perfect tree.

601
00:29:58,210 --> 00:29:59,314
All the way out here?

602
00:29:59,418 --> 00:30:00,522
It's for the party.

603
00:30:00,626 --> 00:30:01,903
Come on.

604
00:30:02,007 --> 00:30:02,697
MAN: Hello!

605
00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:04,319
Welcome to Postoma Farm.

606
00:30:04,423 --> 00:30:05,493
Pick out any tree you like?

607
00:30:05,596 --> 00:30:06,666
Then come and see me.

608
00:30:06,770 --> 00:30:08,392
MEGAN: What kind of
law do you practice?

609
00:30:08,496 --> 00:30:09,635
Estates.

610
00:30:09,738 --> 00:30:12,811
It's mostly drafting
wills and trusts.

611
00:30:12,914 --> 00:30:16,297
I oversee some small real
estate probate cases.

612
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,921
But other than that, it's
usually handling final wishes

613
00:30:20,025 --> 00:30:21,992
and writing durable
powers of attorney

614
00:30:22,096 --> 00:30:24,684
for designated executors
and things like that.

615
00:30:24,788 --> 00:30:25,962
Ah.

616
00:30:26,065 --> 00:30:29,137
Sounds like a total snooze
fest, but makes sense now.

617
00:30:29,241 --> 00:30:30,207
What do you mean?

618
00:30:30,311 --> 00:30:31,899
Well, why you're so
protective of Anne.

619
00:30:32,002 --> 00:30:34,108
I'm protective of Anne
because she's a very caring

620
00:30:34,211 --> 00:30:35,557
and loving person.

621
00:30:35,661 --> 00:30:37,905
And so was her husband, Bill.

622
00:30:38,008 --> 00:30:40,631
OK, so what made you decide
to volunteer for the ranch?

623
00:30:40,735 --> 00:30:42,323
You said she's not
really your aunt.

624
00:30:42,426 --> 00:30:44,118
She's your mom's first cousin?

625
00:30:44,221 --> 00:30:45,774
Aunt Anne is family.

626
00:30:45,878 --> 00:30:49,019
Of course, I just meant--

627
00:30:49,123 --> 00:30:53,334
Well, I started
coming to the ranch

628
00:30:53,437 --> 00:30:58,132
with my little sister, Taylor,
about, oh, gosh, 20 years

629
00:30:58,235 --> 00:30:59,927
ago or so?

630
00:31:00,030 --> 00:31:02,861
She had Down syndrome and
some other special needs,

631
00:31:02,964 --> 00:31:05,035
medical issues.

632
00:31:05,139 --> 00:31:08,038
Man, does she loved the
horses, just like Jessie does.

633
00:31:08,142 --> 00:31:10,627
Well, how is Taylor doing now?

634
00:31:10,730 --> 00:31:13,561
She passed away
about 10 years ago.

635
00:31:13,664 --> 00:31:15,874
Oh.

636
00:31:15,977 --> 00:31:17,979
I don't know what to say.

637
00:31:18,083 --> 00:31:19,498
BRAD: There's really
not much to say.

638
00:31:19,601 --> 00:31:21,224
My sister was my family.

639
00:31:21,327 --> 00:31:26,298
And Anne, as you said, is more
of just an extended cousin.

640
00:31:26,401 --> 00:31:29,473
But Anne has my mom to bring
my sister to the ranch.

641
00:31:29,577 --> 00:31:31,510
Bill and her made her
life so much better

642
00:31:31,613 --> 00:31:32,891
than it ever could have been.

643
00:31:32,994 --> 00:31:36,515
And I'm just trying to do
everything I can to repay them.

644
00:31:36,618 --> 00:31:39,311
That's amazing, Brad.

645
00:31:39,414 --> 00:31:44,557
You know, the Roanoke Ranch
is so much to so many people,

646
00:31:44,661 --> 00:31:47,664
from special needs or children
who may have never known

647
00:31:47,767 --> 00:31:51,357
their father or
veterans with PTSD,

648
00:31:51,461 --> 00:31:53,290
or even just children
who may have never

649
00:31:53,394 --> 00:31:56,466
experienced a nice Christmas.

650
00:31:56,569 --> 00:31:59,158
So if you say you're all in--

651
00:31:59,262 --> 00:32:00,746
I am.

652
00:32:00,849 --> 00:32:02,127
I am.

653
00:32:02,230 --> 00:32:06,303
If you say you're all in, then
I'm going to make this work.

654
00:32:06,407 --> 00:32:07,822
So let's pick a tree.

655
00:32:07,926 --> 00:32:09,065
OK.

656
00:32:09,168 --> 00:32:09,858
BRAD: Halfway.

657
00:32:09,962 --> 00:32:13,310
[light music]

658
00:32:22,492 --> 00:32:24,287
There we go.

659
00:32:24,390 --> 00:32:25,115
Timber.

660
00:32:25,219 --> 00:32:25,978
Yay!

661
00:32:26,082 --> 00:32:26,737
Yeah.

662
00:32:26,841 --> 00:32:27,600
High five.

663
00:32:27,704 --> 00:32:28,394
Yeah.

664
00:32:28,498 --> 00:32:29,395
All right.

665
00:32:29,499 --> 00:32:31,294
So you take that
and be very careful.

666
00:32:31,397 --> 00:32:32,191
OK.

667
00:32:32,295 --> 00:32:36,920
And we are going
to hoist this.

668
00:32:37,024 --> 00:32:38,232
All right.

669
00:32:38,335 --> 00:32:39,060
Yep.

670
00:32:39,164 --> 00:32:39,854
Lead the way.

671
00:32:39,958 --> 00:32:40,959
MEGAN: OK.

672
00:32:41,062 --> 00:32:42,961
That's a very sharp object.

673
00:32:43,064 --> 00:32:46,447
[upbeat music]

674
00:33:03,636 --> 00:33:05,259
Hey, Josh, come
give me a hand.

675
00:33:05,362 --> 00:33:07,675
ANNE: Well, what
do we have here?

676
00:33:07,778 --> 00:33:10,229
Well, you can't have Christmas
without a Christmas tree now,

677
00:33:10,333 --> 00:33:11,058
can you?

678
00:33:11,161 --> 00:33:12,059
No.

679
00:33:12,162 --> 00:33:13,439
Did you kids eat?

680
00:33:13,543 --> 00:33:14,440
BOTH: No.

681
00:33:14,544 --> 00:33:15,855
I've got lunch in the barn.

682
00:33:15,959 --> 00:33:17,650
Let the boys unload the tree.

683
00:33:17,754 --> 00:33:19,273
Sounds good.

684
00:33:19,376 --> 00:33:22,517
[light music]

685
00:33:22,621 --> 00:33:23,553
ANNE: Thank you guys.

686
00:33:27,384 --> 00:33:29,662
Where do you want
this bad boy, Anne?

687
00:33:29,766 --> 00:33:31,768
Where Bill always put it.

688
00:33:31,871 --> 00:33:32,562
By the window.

689
00:33:32,665 --> 00:33:33,666
Got you.

690
00:33:33,770 --> 00:33:37,187
[upbeat music]

691
00:33:51,408 --> 00:33:53,065
Brad, do you know
my intern, Jennifer?

692
00:33:53,169 --> 00:33:53,859
Yeah.

693
00:33:53,962 --> 00:33:55,102
Good kid, tons of energy.

694
00:33:55,205 --> 00:33:56,655
No doubt.

695
00:33:56,758 --> 00:33:58,346
She overheard something today.

696
00:33:58,450 --> 00:34:03,351
She said there was a
realtor here from a company.

697
00:34:03,455 --> 00:34:04,214
Mitchell and Fields?

698
00:34:04,318 --> 00:34:05,077
A realtor?

699
00:34:05,181 --> 00:34:07,769
Yeah, some woman
named Deborah.

700
00:34:07,873 --> 00:34:10,013
She said that Anne
agreed to sell the ranch.

701
00:34:10,117 --> 00:34:11,532
She didn't sign
anything, did she?

702
00:34:11,635 --> 00:34:13,327
No, I don't think so.

703
00:34:13,430 --> 00:34:15,398
But she did say that they
made a verbal agreement,

704
00:34:15,501 --> 00:34:17,710
and it could be
breach of contract.

705
00:34:17,814 --> 00:34:18,918
That's just an idle threat.

706
00:34:19,022 --> 00:34:20,644
But I'll deal with it.

707
00:34:20,748 --> 00:34:23,164
JOSH: Megan, where do
you want these garlands?

708
00:34:23,268 --> 00:34:24,476
Over by the fireplace.

709
00:34:24,579 --> 00:34:25,373
Thanks.

710
00:34:28,169 --> 00:34:30,240
You know, I'm still going
to walk over to the house

711
00:34:30,344 --> 00:34:32,484
and talk to Anne,
get more details.

712
00:34:32,587 --> 00:34:34,175
Kind of remind her to
never sign anything

713
00:34:34,279 --> 00:34:36,798
without me looking at it first.

714
00:34:36,902 --> 00:34:38,973
Then I got to get changed
and meet with the client.

715
00:34:39,077 --> 00:34:40,388
On a Saturday?

716
00:34:40,492 --> 00:34:41,320
Duty calls.

717
00:34:44,565 --> 00:34:46,774
Will I see you tomorrow?

718
00:34:46,877 --> 00:34:49,535
Church at sunrise,
and then I'm all yours.

719
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:52,331
I had fun today.

720
00:34:52,435 --> 00:34:54,471
Me too.

721
00:34:54,575 --> 00:34:55,369
OK.

722
00:35:01,409 --> 00:35:05,655
DEBORAH [ON VOICE RECORD]: We
can offer you two million cash.

723
00:35:05,758 --> 00:35:09,072
ANNE [ON VOICE RECORD]:
This is a 160-acre ranch.

724
00:35:09,176 --> 00:35:13,904
The ranch over in Saginaw County
is only 100 acres and just sold

725
00:35:14,008 --> 00:35:15,043
for three million.

726
00:35:15,147 --> 00:35:16,804
DEBORAH [ON VOICE RECORD]:
I'm aware of that,

727
00:35:16,907 --> 00:35:18,771
but the land is near
a major interstate

728
00:35:18,875 --> 00:35:21,084
and already zoned for
commercial property.

729
00:35:21,188 --> 00:35:23,673
Your land is river frontage.

730
00:35:23,776 --> 00:35:26,745
But it's frankly
also a flood zone.

731
00:35:26,848 --> 00:35:29,851
ANNE [ON VOICE RECORD]: But
I've lived here most of my life.

732
00:35:29,955 --> 00:35:32,544
I love this ranch
and the memories.

733
00:35:32,647 --> 00:35:34,615
You just don't understand.

734
00:35:34,718 --> 00:35:37,135
DEBORAH [ON VOICE RECORD]:
I do understand, Anne.

735
00:35:37,238 --> 00:35:40,690
Look, I'll offer
you 2.1 million.

736
00:35:40,793 --> 00:35:42,968
Deal?

737
00:35:43,071 --> 00:35:45,004
ANNE [ON VOICE RECORD]:
I need to think about it.

738
00:35:45,108 --> 00:35:47,938
I thought you said
she was ready to sell.

739
00:35:48,042 --> 00:35:49,181
You heard her voice.

740
00:35:49,285 --> 00:35:50,596
She's ready to buckle.

741
00:35:50,700 --> 00:35:54,186
All I heard was a stubborn old
lady playing hardball with you.

742
00:35:54,290 --> 00:35:55,498
Edward's right, Deborah.

743
00:35:55,601 --> 00:35:58,363
I'm not sure you have what
it takes to close this deal.

744
00:35:58,466 --> 00:35:59,743
Don't underestimate me.

745
00:35:59,847 --> 00:36:02,263
I can, and I will
close this deal.

746
00:36:02,367 --> 00:36:05,024
What I need from you two
is a buyer's contract

747
00:36:05,128 --> 00:36:06,854
with the best and final offer.

748
00:36:06,957 --> 00:36:08,787
And you better get
it to me quickly.

749
00:36:08,890 --> 00:36:11,755
There's a news producer doing
a story to help raise money.

750
00:36:11,859 --> 00:36:14,172
And if it airs, you can
kiss those riverfront

751
00:36:14,275 --> 00:36:17,036
acres and your development
complex plans goodbye.

752
00:36:20,764 --> 00:36:24,078
[crickets chirping]

753
00:36:26,011 --> 00:36:27,254
You're just in time.

754
00:36:27,357 --> 00:36:28,703
Just in time for what?

755
00:36:28,807 --> 00:36:29,601
You'll see.

756
00:36:34,606 --> 00:36:35,779
Ta-da!

757
00:36:35,883 --> 00:36:38,299
ANNE: Megan, it's gorgeous!

758
00:36:38,403 --> 00:36:39,852
MEGAN: I'm so glad you like it.

759
00:36:39,956 --> 00:36:42,545
I'll get to work on
the exteriors tomorrow.

760
00:36:42,648 --> 00:36:45,789
I am going to be on air in the
morning, so I'll come by later.

761
00:36:45,893 --> 00:36:48,689
And Brad said he'll
stop by as well.

762
00:36:48,792 --> 00:36:50,553
You like him, don't you?

763
00:36:50,656 --> 00:36:52,071
Yeah, and I barely know him.

764
00:36:52,175 --> 00:36:53,625
Well, that's the beauty of it.

765
00:36:53,728 --> 00:36:57,111
People show up in your life that
you don't know for a reason.

766
00:37:01,184 --> 00:37:03,531
Well, actually,
I'm on air tonight.

767
00:37:03,635 --> 00:37:05,223
I have to be on at
10 o'clock, so I

768
00:37:05,326 --> 00:37:06,534
should get back to the station.

769
00:37:06,638 --> 00:37:08,226
I have some prep work to do.

770
00:37:08,329 --> 00:37:09,986
But I'll see you tomorrow, OK?

771
00:37:10,089 --> 00:37:10,780
ANNE: Yeah.

772
00:37:10,883 --> 00:37:11,884
OK.

773
00:37:11,988 --> 00:37:12,678
MEGAN: Bye!

774
00:37:12,782 --> 00:37:13,679
I'll be here.

775
00:37:13,783 --> 00:37:16,510
MEGAN: Bye.

776
00:37:16,613 --> 00:37:18,063
[door shuts]

777
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:24,794
Oh.

778
00:37:27,417 --> 00:37:29,454
Oh, Bill.

779
00:37:29,557 --> 00:37:31,628
Do you remember this?

780
00:37:31,732 --> 00:37:34,113
This was always one
of our favorites.

781
00:37:34,217 --> 00:37:37,462
[serene music]

782
00:37:48,127 --> 00:37:49,474
[knocking]

783
00:37:49,577 --> 00:37:50,751
Come in.

784
00:37:50,854 --> 00:37:51,821
Oh.
Hey, Scott.

785
00:37:51,924 --> 00:37:52,960
Hi.

786
00:37:53,063 --> 00:37:54,168
You've been out of the
office quite a bit.

787
00:37:54,272 --> 00:37:56,135
Are you staying busy on
that Roanoke Ranch story?

788
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:57,689
Working on it as we speak.
SCOTT: Great.

789
00:37:57,792 --> 00:38:00,139
This woman could really
get a lot of clicks for us.

790
00:38:00,243 --> 00:38:01,900
It's more than just clicks.

791
00:38:02,003 --> 00:38:04,903
SCOTT: Listen, clicks and views
equal ads, ads equal revenue,

792
00:38:05,006 --> 00:38:06,767
and revenue is what
keeps us in business.

793
00:38:06,870 --> 00:38:07,975
If you don't like this, well--

794
00:38:08,078 --> 00:38:08,976
Yeah, I understand.

795
00:38:09,079 --> 00:38:10,391
- It's just that--
- Yeah.

796
00:38:10,495 --> 00:38:12,842
Now I want you to milk this
story for every ounce of emotion

797
00:38:12,945 --> 00:38:13,912
you can squeeze out of it.

798
00:38:14,015 --> 00:38:14,913
Then we'll move on.

799
00:38:15,016 --> 00:38:15,845
That's the business.

800
00:38:18,088 --> 00:38:18,882
OK.

801
00:38:24,129 --> 00:38:27,581
[light music]

802
00:38:36,037 --> 00:38:37,591
JENNIFER: I think I
just gained 8 pounds

803
00:38:37,694 --> 00:38:39,869
just by looking at the food.

804
00:38:39,972 --> 00:38:42,837
Well, you could stand to put
a little meat on your bones.

805
00:38:42,941 --> 00:38:43,804
Coffee's on.

806
00:38:43,907 --> 00:38:44,977
Thanks.

807
00:38:45,081 --> 00:38:47,394
I saw your special
ornament on the tree.

808
00:38:47,497 --> 00:38:48,705
Oh.

809
00:38:48,809 --> 00:38:51,467
I had that made for Bill our
first Christmas together.

810
00:38:51,570 --> 00:38:53,365
Can't say it's not
bittersweet knowing

811
00:38:53,469 --> 00:38:54,849
it's the first one without him.

812
00:38:54,953 --> 00:38:56,299
Yeah.

813
00:38:56,403 --> 00:38:58,819
Your first is always hard, but
I'm sure he's here in spirit.

814
00:38:58,922 --> 00:38:59,992
Oh, I know he is.

815
00:39:00,096 --> 00:39:01,235
Well, come on, you two.

816
00:39:01,339 --> 00:39:02,132
Grab a plate.

817
00:39:02,236 --> 00:39:05,032
Eat up.

818
00:39:05,135 --> 00:39:06,378
Where are you going, Anne?

819
00:39:06,482 --> 00:39:07,517
Oh.

820
00:39:07,621 --> 00:39:10,555
I called Doc Meyers to
check on Crackerjack.

821
00:39:10,658 --> 00:39:13,074
He hasn't been feeling
his best lately.

822
00:39:13,178 --> 00:39:13,868
I'll go in.

823
00:39:13,972 --> 00:39:14,869
ANNE: Oh, no.

824
00:39:14,973 --> 00:39:16,768
Brad, you eat
before it gets cold.

825
00:39:19,357 --> 00:39:21,048
Megan, if you need
help decorating,

826
00:39:21,151 --> 00:39:22,843
I can give you a hand later.
MEGAN: Thanks.

827
00:39:22,946 --> 00:39:24,396
I could use all
the help I can get.

828
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:25,811
Yeah, and Josh
and I can handle

829
00:39:25,915 --> 00:39:26,985
all the outdoor decorations.

830
00:39:27,088 --> 00:39:28,262
Just let us know where
you want everything.

831
00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:29,367
And I think a couple
of the other guys

832
00:39:29,470 --> 00:39:31,161
will come by after
work today, too.

833
00:39:31,265 --> 00:39:32,680
OK.

834
00:39:32,784 --> 00:39:33,992
Jennifer, are you going to come?

835
00:39:34,095 --> 00:39:34,889
I'll be eating.

836
00:39:37,823 --> 00:39:39,204
You're not going
to eat anything?

837
00:39:39,307 --> 00:39:42,828
No, I want to start
decorating the loft.

838
00:39:42,932 --> 00:39:45,417
You really should
eat something.

839
00:39:45,521 --> 00:39:47,177
Oh.

840
00:39:47,281 --> 00:39:48,282
I like that you care.

841
00:39:52,251 --> 00:39:55,738
[door opens, closes]

842
00:40:00,777 --> 00:40:02,952
Well, have any of his
eating habits changed, Anne?

843
00:40:03,055 --> 00:40:03,987
No.

844
00:40:04,091 --> 00:40:06,645
The little stinker
eats like a horse.

845
00:40:06,749 --> 00:40:08,440
No pun intended.

846
00:40:08,544 --> 00:40:09,855
Well, that's the problem.

847
00:40:09,959 --> 00:40:11,374
He's eating too much.

848
00:40:11,478 --> 00:40:14,273
Nothing a few walks and less
feeding won't cure there, love.

849
00:40:14,377 --> 00:40:15,343
Oh.

850
00:40:15,447 --> 00:40:18,070
Oh, thank goodness.

851
00:40:18,174 --> 00:40:21,246
You know, Bill named him
Crackerjack because he looks

852
00:40:21,349 --> 00:40:23,386
like one of those
little surprise toys

853
00:40:23,490 --> 00:40:27,770
you get in those
boxes of snacks.

854
00:40:27,873 --> 00:40:31,463
I don't know what I would have
done if I lost another family

855
00:40:31,567 --> 00:40:32,464
member this year.

856
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,203
[horse neighing]

857
00:41:06,084 --> 00:41:10,398
JENNIFER: Josh and Hilary,
black coffee, coffee with cream.

858
00:41:10,502 --> 00:41:11,952
[door opens]

859
00:41:22,238 --> 00:41:24,861
Looks like somebody may have
missed their calling as, say,

860
00:41:24,965 --> 00:41:26,656
the next Martha Stewart?

861
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:27,933
[chuckles]

862
00:41:29,210 --> 00:41:32,455
Well, I brought
you a sandwich.

863
00:41:32,559 --> 00:41:33,456
If you insist.

864
00:41:36,045 --> 00:41:38,806
You know, you're really
bringing a lot of joy

865
00:41:38,910 --> 00:41:40,532
to Anne with everything
you're doing.

866
00:41:40,636 --> 00:41:42,948
Anne is the one who
brings joy to everyone.

867
00:41:43,052 --> 00:41:44,950
I am just doing my job.

868
00:41:45,054 --> 00:41:48,022
Speaking of which, I do need to
get back to the news station.

869
00:41:48,126 --> 00:41:51,060
There's a news crew coming
out today, so I need to prep.

870
00:41:51,163 --> 00:41:52,371
Jennifer!

871
00:41:52,475 --> 00:41:53,338
JENNIFER: Coming.

872
00:41:53,441 --> 00:41:56,721
Thanks for the grub, cowboy.

873
00:41:56,824 --> 00:42:00,448
Just call me the
Grubhub Cowboy.

874
00:42:00,552 --> 00:42:01,726
Josh, let me give you a hand.

875
00:42:05,315 --> 00:42:06,800
JENNIFER: Oh, I love that idea.

876
00:42:06,903 --> 00:42:08,284
Really pulls at
your heartstrings.

877
00:42:08,387 --> 00:42:09,423
Yeah.

878
00:42:09,527 --> 00:42:10,804
And I think if we get
the crew out there,

879
00:42:10,907 --> 00:42:12,288
we can do cover to
the whole ranch,

880
00:42:12,391 --> 00:42:14,324
and we can use those as
cutaways in the edit.

881
00:42:14,428 --> 00:42:16,395
OK.

882
00:42:16,499 --> 00:42:18,052
I have your notes.

883
00:42:18,156 --> 00:42:21,159
I'll write some basic questions,
and then I'll send you

884
00:42:21,262 --> 00:42:24,472
the script for your approval.

885
00:42:24,576 --> 00:42:26,509
Actually, there's no need.

886
00:42:26,613 --> 00:42:30,893
I want this to feel
more organic in nature.

887
00:42:30,996 --> 00:42:32,204
So no script.

888
00:42:32,308 --> 00:42:33,447
Oh, wow.

889
00:42:33,551 --> 00:42:35,898
I smell an Emmy nomination.

890
00:42:36,001 --> 00:42:37,555
I just hope it
helps save the ranch.

891
00:42:59,922 --> 00:43:01,406
[horse neighing]

892
00:43:12,935 --> 00:43:14,074
This is amazing.

893
00:43:14,177 --> 00:43:14,937
Thanks.

894
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,283
CREW: Wait, you did all this?

895
00:43:16,386 --> 00:43:18,078
MEGAN: Well, with
Jennifer's help and a team

896
00:43:18,181 --> 00:43:20,356
of volunteers, but yes.

897
00:43:20,459 --> 00:43:24,015
I just love Christmas.

898
00:43:24,118 --> 00:43:24,843
Oh.

899
00:43:24,947 --> 00:43:26,086
- Hi, Megan.
- Oh.

900
00:43:26,189 --> 00:43:26,914
Morning, Anne.

901
00:43:27,018 --> 00:43:27,950
This is our crew.

902
00:43:28,053 --> 00:43:29,434
They're going to be
filming us today.

903
00:43:29,537 --> 00:43:31,609
ANNE: Oh, so nice to
meet you, everyone.

904
00:43:31,712 --> 00:43:32,782
Hi, how are y'all?

905
00:43:32,886 --> 00:43:34,750
You have a lovely ranch here.

906
00:43:34,853 --> 00:43:36,027
ANNE: Thank you.

907
00:43:36,130 --> 00:43:37,649
Oh, I'm so sorry.

908
00:43:37,753 --> 00:43:40,272
I just finished chopping
veggies for the kids.

909
00:43:40,376 --> 00:43:44,622
And when I say kids,
I mean the baby goats.

910
00:43:44,725 --> 00:43:46,071
Where are my manners?

911
00:43:46,175 --> 00:43:48,073
I haven't offered
you boys anything.

912
00:43:48,177 --> 00:43:48,902
We're good.

913
00:43:49,005 --> 00:43:50,248
We're good.

914
00:43:50,351 --> 00:43:54,424
Anne, let's go sit
by the fireplace.

915
00:43:54,528 --> 00:43:57,151
Oh, OK.

916
00:43:57,255 --> 00:44:00,189
MEGAN: Is there anything that's
off limits for me to ask?

917
00:44:00,292 --> 00:44:03,779
Oh, right down
to business, I see.

918
00:44:03,882 --> 00:44:08,335
No, nothing I can think of.

919
00:44:08,438 --> 00:44:09,750
So was there
anything important

920
00:44:09,854 --> 00:44:12,132
that you want me to ask
or that I should mention?

921
00:44:12,235 --> 00:44:13,789
Well, it's
important to make sure

922
00:44:13,892 --> 00:44:18,000
it's about the horses and the
children and adults who come

923
00:44:18,103 --> 00:44:20,347
here for comfort and healing.

924
00:44:20,450 --> 00:44:21,728
Yes, you mentioned that.

925
00:44:21,831 --> 00:44:23,212
That seems like a lot.

926
00:44:23,315 --> 00:44:24,385
How do you manage?

927
00:44:24,489 --> 00:44:27,147
I just find the
strength somehow.

928
00:44:27,250 --> 00:44:32,048
The volunteers and
donations, all that.

929
00:44:32,152 --> 00:44:34,119
I don't want to lose the ranch.

930
00:44:34,223 --> 00:44:35,880
I really don't.

931
00:44:35,983 --> 00:44:37,226
I'm not ready.

932
00:44:37,329 --> 00:44:40,954
And we want to make
sure that doesn't happen.

933
00:44:41,057 --> 00:44:44,026
They made me an offer, cash.

934
00:44:44,129 --> 00:44:46,338
2.1 million.

935
00:44:46,442 --> 00:44:48,478
Oh, you didn't sign
anything, did you?

936
00:44:48,582 --> 00:44:52,344
No, but there doesn't
seem to be any options.

937
00:44:52,448 --> 00:44:54,312
Just don't do
anything, at least

938
00:44:54,415 --> 00:44:57,522
not until after we air this.

939
00:44:57,625 --> 00:44:58,661
OK.

940
00:44:58,765 --> 00:45:00,801
So, Anne, if someone is
watching this right now

941
00:45:00,905 --> 00:45:03,839
and they want to make a
donation, how do they do that?

942
00:45:03,942 --> 00:45:04,702
Oh.

943
00:45:04,805 --> 00:45:08,360
They go to a roanokeranch.com.

944
00:45:08,464 --> 00:45:10,224
We appreciate everyone.

945
00:45:10,328 --> 00:45:12,951
It doesn't matter the
size of the donation.

946
00:45:13,055 --> 00:45:14,539
You have a big heart, Anne.

947
00:45:14,642 --> 00:45:18,301
Oh, well, bless
you for saying that.

948
00:45:18,405 --> 00:45:20,994
Is this going to be
part of your story?

949
00:45:21,097 --> 00:45:22,271
Well, maybe.

950
00:45:22,374 --> 00:45:24,376
We are rolling.

951
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:25,515
Oh, you are?

952
00:45:25,619 --> 00:45:27,759
Oh, well.

953
00:45:27,863 --> 00:45:30,451
But don't worry, we are going
to edit it down to the most

954
00:45:30,555 --> 00:45:33,420
compassionate pieces.

955
00:45:33,523 --> 00:45:34,593
Thank you.

956
00:45:34,697 --> 00:45:37,493
I just don't know what to do.

957
00:45:37,596 --> 00:45:41,842
FRANK: Deborah, any news
on the Roanoke Ranch deal?

958
00:45:41,946 --> 00:45:44,569
I delivered the contract this
morning with the $2.3 million

959
00:45:44,672 --> 00:45:45,363
offer.

960
00:45:45,466 --> 00:45:47,089
Did you get a signature?

961
00:45:47,192 --> 00:45:48,573
I'm working on it.

962
00:45:48,676 --> 00:45:52,025
Work harder or we're
turning this over to Greg.

963
00:45:52,128 --> 00:45:53,578
She will sign it, Frank.

964
00:45:53,681 --> 00:45:56,201
I already told you
and Edward that.

965
00:45:56,305 --> 00:45:57,962
I don't like
your tone, Deborah.

966
00:45:58,065 --> 00:45:59,170
Yeah?

967
00:45:59,273 --> 00:46:00,861
Well, I don't like being
treated like I'm a child.

968
00:46:00,965 --> 00:46:03,657
FRANK: Then stop acting
like one and get Anne

969
00:46:03,761 --> 00:46:05,728
Devon to sign that contract!

970
00:46:08,593 --> 00:46:11,907
[christmas music]

971
00:46:14,357 --> 00:46:17,050
MEGAN: I'm here with Anne
Devon, who owns Roanoke Ranch

972
00:46:17,153 --> 00:46:19,224
For Kids and horse sanctuary.

973
00:46:19,328 --> 00:46:21,779
Anne, how long have
you owned the ranch?

974
00:46:21,882 --> 00:46:26,300
Well, my husband and I bought
the ranch over 40 years ago.

975
00:46:26,404 --> 00:46:29,821
We only had a couple of
riding horses at that time.

976
00:46:29,925 --> 00:46:32,548
But when we read about
all these poor horses

977
00:46:32,651 --> 00:46:36,863
that were neglected and abused,
we started rescuing them.

978
00:46:36,966 --> 00:46:38,657
And how many do you have now?

979
00:46:38,761 --> 00:46:41,108
Just 12 now.

980
00:46:41,212 --> 00:46:42,247
Hi.

981
00:46:42,351 --> 00:46:44,732
What's your name?

982
00:46:44,836 --> 00:46:45,906
Jessie.

983
00:46:46,010 --> 00:46:47,839
Do you like horses, Jessie?

984
00:46:47,943 --> 00:46:48,633
I like Bailey.

985
00:46:48,736 --> 00:46:49,979
[laughter]

986
00:46:50,083 --> 00:46:51,705
Bet that Bailey
is really cute.

987
00:46:51,809 --> 00:46:53,120
He is really cute.

988
00:46:53,224 --> 00:46:56,261
So you mentioned that
horses help people with PTSD,

989
00:46:56,365 --> 00:46:58,781
children on the autism
spectrum, and differently-abled

990
00:46:58,885 --> 00:47:00,783
people and so many more.

991
00:47:00,887 --> 00:47:02,854
Oh, yes, there are
groups for the blind

992
00:47:02,958 --> 00:47:05,477
that come here,
and we have a lot

993
00:47:05,581 --> 00:47:09,033
of at-risk children and teens.

994
00:47:09,136 --> 00:47:11,518
Well, Anne, this
ranch is truly magical,

995
00:47:11,621 --> 00:47:14,383
and I want to thank you for
letting us spend some time here.

I'm here to see Anne.

BRAD: She's a little
busy at the moment.

1001
00:47:32,746 --> 00:47:34,955
I'll wait.

1002
00:47:35,059 --> 00:47:36,888
That won't be necessary.

1003
00:47:36,992 --> 00:47:39,442
I'm sorry, I didn't
catch your name.

1004

It's Brad.

And I know who you
are, and Anne is

1007

not looking to sell the ranch.

1008
00:47:47,209 --> 00:47:48,348
She told you that?

1009
00:47:51,006 --> 00:47:53,008
I'm going to have
to ask you to leave.

1010
00:47:53,111 --> 00:47:54,112
I think I'll wait.

1011
00:47:54,216 --> 00:47:55,458
Thanks.

1012
00:47:55,562 --> 00:47:57,944
BRAD: You've formally been
asked to leave the property.

1013
00:47:58,047 --> 00:48:00,222
If you don't, you'll
be in direct violation

That's exactly who I am.

1019
00:48:18,585 --> 00:48:19,689
Fine.

00:48:19,793 --> 00:48:21,139

Oh, you did great.

a great Christmas gift.

would I be hiding?

But the big silent

Were you born a cowboy
or is it because of--

1063

Yeah, it was because
of my sister, Taylor.

1064

She loved horses, so
I learned everything I

1065

could so I could help her ride.

she liked riding,

watch me off in the distance

00:51:31,950 --> 00:51:33,607
and a perfect venison chili.

1082
00:51:33,711 --> 00:51:35,989
[laughs] All right.

1083
00:51:36,093 --> 00:51:37,335
Dad jokes.
OK.

1084
00:51:37,439 --> 00:51:38,405
Yeah, what do you say?

1085
00:51:38,509 --> 00:51:39,372
MEGAN: OK.

1086
00:51:39,475 --> 00:51:40,856
BRAD: Yeah.

1087
00:51:40,959 --> 00:51:44,446
So, what made you want to
be a news producer anyway?

1088
00:51:44,549 --> 00:51:45,861
Well, I've always
been fascinated

1089
00:51:45,964 --> 00:51:47,621
by the human interest piece.

1090
00:51:47,725 --> 00:51:49,278
I was actually
premed in college,

1091
00:51:49,382 --> 00:51:51,038
which made me super happy.

1092
00:51:51,142 --> 00:51:53,765
And I was interviewed
by the school newspaper,

1093
00:51:53,869 --> 00:51:54,835
and it was quoted.

1094
00:51:54,939 --> 00:51:56,837
So I marched into
the editor's office

1095
00:51:56,941 --> 00:51:59,771
and demanded that
they do a reprint.

1096
00:51:59,875 --> 00:52:01,842
And he offered me a job
right then and there.

1097
00:52:01,946 --> 00:52:02,636
Wow.

1098
00:52:02,740 --> 00:52:03,982
So premed to journalist?

1099
00:52:04,086 --> 00:52:05,260
Yeah.

1100
00:52:05,363 --> 00:52:07,124
I love the investigative piece.

1101
00:52:07,227 --> 00:52:08,815
And the rest is history.

1102
00:52:08,918 --> 00:52:10,955
And how did your parents
feel about the switch?

1103
00:52:11,058 --> 00:52:12,888
My dad just wants
me to be happy.

1104
00:52:12,991 --> 00:52:14,821
He said, if writing
is your passion,

1105
00:52:14,924 --> 00:52:17,134
then find a story that
will put you on the map.

1106
00:52:17,237 --> 00:52:20,723
And I truly believe that
Roanoke Ranch is that story.

1107
00:52:20,827 --> 00:52:23,623
It sounds like you've just
been motivated your entire life.

1108
00:52:23,726 --> 00:52:24,727
Yeah.

1109
00:52:24,831 --> 00:52:27,696
I'm a type A personality.

1110
00:52:27,799 --> 00:52:28,628
How about you?

1111
00:52:28,731 --> 00:52:29,422
How about me?

1112
00:52:29,525 --> 00:52:30,319
Hmm.

1113
00:52:34,634 --> 00:52:36,843
What made you
want to be a lawyer?

1114
00:52:36,946 --> 00:52:38,983
Well, I followed in
my father's footsteps.

1115
00:52:39,086 --> 00:52:41,606
He was a public defender.

1116
00:52:41,710 --> 00:52:43,643
Would you have chosen
another profession?

1117
00:52:43,746 --> 00:52:45,334
I don't know, really.

1118
00:52:45,438 --> 00:52:47,336
I really like music.

1119
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,235
I used to play the guitar
when I was younger.

1120
00:52:49,338 --> 00:52:52,030
I was even in a band for a
little while, believe it or not.

1121
00:52:52,134 --> 00:52:54,619
But once I started law
school, I sort of just

1122
00:52:54,723 --> 00:52:55,862
put that on the back burner.

1123
00:52:58,485 --> 00:53:00,798
I could see you as a
country Western singer.

1124
00:53:00,901 --> 00:53:03,180
Maybe a long time ago.

1125
00:53:03,283 --> 00:53:05,389
Move over, Brad Paisley,
here comes Brad Bennett.

1126
00:53:05,492 --> 00:53:07,322
[laughs]

1127
00:53:07,425 --> 00:53:09,082
Can I get you
folks another round?

1128
00:53:09,186 --> 00:53:11,049
I actually need to get
home and start editing.

1129
00:53:11,153 --> 00:53:11,843
BRAD: No, we're OK.

1130
00:53:11,947 --> 00:53:12,810
Just the check, please.

1131
00:53:12,913 --> 00:53:15,399
OK, thank you.

1132
00:53:15,502 --> 00:53:18,505
So, when do I get to
hear one of these songs?

1133
00:53:21,922 --> 00:53:25,340
[christmas music]

1134
00:53:35,695 --> 00:53:38,353
Your station says
we're expecting snow.

1135
00:53:38,456 --> 00:53:39,733
I love the snow.

1136
00:53:39,837 --> 00:53:43,012
I just hope it's not as big
as they say it's going to be.

1137
00:53:43,116 --> 00:53:45,739
You know, you can't trust
forecasters these days.

1138
00:53:45,843 --> 00:53:47,189
Only mother nature knows.

1139
00:53:51,469 --> 00:53:55,577
Brad, you don't think Anne is
going to sell the ranch, do you?

1140
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,095
It's hard to say.

1141
00:53:57,199 --> 00:53:59,028
It's a lot of upkeep for her.

1142
00:53:59,132 --> 00:54:01,445
I'm just trying to ward
off the real estate lady

1143
00:54:01,548 --> 00:54:04,068
until after the holidays so she
can enjoy the one last Christmas

1144
00:54:04,171 --> 00:54:04,862
there.

1145
00:54:04,965 --> 00:54:07,761
It would be devastating.

1146
00:54:07,865 --> 00:54:12,352
I'm really banking on this
story generating donations.

1147
00:54:12,456 --> 00:54:14,768
Well, she has faith in you.

1148
00:54:17,081 --> 00:54:17,771
And so--

1149
00:54:17,875 --> 00:54:19,980
Money for the children?

1150
00:54:20,084 --> 00:54:24,916
Not the best timing,
Santa, but here you go.

1151
00:54:25,020 --> 00:54:26,987
Come here.

1152
00:54:27,091 --> 00:54:30,577
[christmas music]

1153
00:54:32,614 --> 00:54:34,098
Give me your number.

1154
00:54:34,201 --> 00:54:36,065
That's very confident of you.

1155
00:54:36,169 --> 00:54:37,895
I just want to
send you the photo.

1156
00:54:40,656 --> 00:54:42,555
Thank you.

1157
00:54:42,658 --> 00:54:47,974
Well, I'll see you at
Anne's Christmas party.

1158
00:54:48,077 --> 00:54:49,389
That sounds like a plan.

1159
00:54:49,493 --> 00:54:50,735
OK.

1160
00:54:50,839 --> 00:54:51,598
Good night.

1161
00:54:51,702 --> 00:54:52,461
BRAD: Good night.

1162
00:54:55,153 --> 00:54:57,328
Somebody has a crush.

1163
00:54:57,432 --> 00:55:00,227
Santa, she barely knows me.

1164
00:55:00,331 --> 00:55:02,609
I wasn't talking about her.

1165
00:55:02,713 --> 00:55:05,647
[christmas music]

1166
00:55:10,134 --> 00:55:11,584
[phone rings]

1167
00:55:40,854 --> 00:55:41,648
Benny.

1168
00:55:41,752 --> 00:55:42,718
Benny.

1169
00:55:42,822 --> 00:55:44,548
Want to go night-night?

1170
00:55:44,651 --> 00:55:45,411
Come on.

1171
00:55:45,514 --> 00:55:46,722
Let's go night-night.

1172
00:55:46,826 --> 00:55:47,551
Come here.

1173
00:55:47,654 --> 00:55:48,448
Come on.

1174
00:55:51,451 --> 00:55:54,903
[phone ringing]

1175
00:56:00,357 --> 00:56:01,496
Hey, Scott.

1176
00:56:01,599 --> 00:56:02,842
What time is it?

1177
00:56:02,945 --> 00:56:04,084
Megan, it's Scott.

1178
00:56:04,188 --> 00:56:05,396
MEGAN [ON PHONE]: Yeah, I know.

1179
00:56:05,500 --> 00:56:06,570
You called early.

1180
00:56:06,673 --> 00:56:08,641
SCOTT [ON PHONE]: Yeah,
and you have a clock too.

1181
00:56:08,744 --> 00:56:10,056
It's 5:32 AM.

1182
00:56:10,159 --> 00:56:12,299
I know it's Christmas Eve, and
you're not scheduled to come in

1183
00:56:12,403 --> 00:56:13,991
until the afternoon
news, but I need you

1184
00:56:14,094 --> 00:56:16,062
to come into work right now.

1185
00:56:16,165 --> 00:56:17,235
Why?

1186
00:56:17,339 --> 00:56:18,409
What's going on?

1187
00:56:18,513 --> 00:56:19,341
Breaking news.

1188
00:56:19,445 --> 00:56:20,722
Get in here.

1189
00:56:20,825 --> 00:56:23,345
Bart's going on the air in 28
minutes with or without you.

1190
00:56:23,449 --> 00:56:24,898
MEGAN [ON PHONE]: Wh-what?
I will be.

1191
00:56:25,002 --> 00:56:25,934
I will be right there.

1192
00:56:30,663 --> 00:56:31,388
OK.

1193
00:56:31,491 --> 00:56:32,319
I'm here now.

1194
00:56:32,423 --> 00:56:34,183
I'm here.

1195
00:56:34,287 --> 00:56:36,910
SCOTT: We have breaking news.

1196
00:56:37,014 --> 00:56:38,222
What is it?

1197
00:56:38,325 --> 00:56:40,431
Governor Lewis resigned,
and Lieutenant-Governor Brenda

1198
00:56:40,535 --> 00:56:42,433
Lewis is being sworn in today.

1199
00:56:42,537 --> 00:56:45,747
A Lowell High School graduate
is the new governor of Michigan.

1200
00:56:45,850 --> 00:56:47,369
Great local news story.

1201
00:56:47,473 --> 00:56:50,476
But she's also the country's
first Asian female governor.

1202
00:56:50,579 --> 00:56:51,925
Talk about a
Christmas Eve story.

1203
00:56:52,029 --> 00:56:53,789
We're getting picked up
nationwide today, Megan.

1204
00:56:53,893 --> 00:56:54,618
Oh, my gosh.

1205
00:56:54,721 --> 00:56:55,550
This is amazing.

1206
00:56:55,653 --> 00:56:56,999
JENNIFER: Megan,
you're going live.

1207
00:56:57,103 --> 00:56:58,449
- OK.
- Megan, get to the green room.

1208
00:56:58,553 --> 00:56:59,657
You're on air in five.

1209
00:56:59,761 --> 00:57:02,177
Oh, I have the final edit
of the Roanoke Christmas

1210
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:03,592
story for you to air tonight.

1211
00:57:03,696 --> 00:57:04,455
OK.

1212
00:57:06,699 --> 00:57:09,667
[light music]

1213
00:57:14,707 --> 00:57:15,535
Morning, Anne.

1214
00:57:15,639 --> 00:57:16,916
You see the news?

1215
00:57:17,019 --> 00:57:17,986
Oh, yes.

1216
00:57:18,089 --> 00:57:19,159
Shocking.

1217
00:57:19,263 --> 00:57:20,885
HILARY: I know you and
Brenda Choi are friends,

1218
00:57:20,989 --> 00:57:23,267
but this is great news for
women, don't you think?

1219
00:57:23,370 --> 00:57:24,510
And aliens too.

1220
00:57:24,613 --> 00:57:27,098
Oh, I don't care about
all that identity politics.

1221
00:57:27,202 --> 00:57:28,410
She's a good person.

1222
00:57:28,514 --> 00:57:30,308
That's all that matters to me.

1223
00:57:30,412 --> 00:57:33,001
Now, come on, let's
get the kids fed.

1224
00:57:33,104 --> 00:57:34,968
The horses don't
care who's governor.

1225
00:57:35,072 --> 00:57:36,280
HILARY: No, they don't.

1226
00:57:36,383 --> 00:57:39,766
[upbeat music]

1227
00:57:47,636 --> 00:57:51,122
Megan, our columnist, the
news story of the century.

1228
00:57:51,226 --> 00:57:52,848
That seems a
little far fetched.

1229
00:57:52,952 --> 00:57:55,920
Maybe so, but not if
you're a lifelong resident

1230
00:57:56,024 --> 00:57:57,335
of Lowell, Michigan.

1231
00:57:57,439 --> 00:57:58,578
That's right.

1232
00:57:58,682 --> 00:58:03,134
The new governor comes from
our sleepy little town.

1233
00:58:03,238 --> 00:58:04,515
Morning segment went well.

1234
00:58:04,619 --> 00:58:06,655
We're going to run with
this piece all day, so plan

1235
00:58:06,759 --> 00:58:07,656
on strapping in.

1236
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,106
More and more
affiliates are picking

1237
00:58:09,209 --> 00:58:10,694
- us up as the day goes on.
- Of course.

1238
00:58:10,797 --> 00:58:12,834
But we are still going to
run the Roanoke Ranch piece--

1239
00:58:12,937 --> 00:58:14,594
Conference room, everyone.
All hands on deck.

1240
00:58:18,943 --> 00:58:22,291
So, I've got four reporters
standing by in various locations

1241
00:58:22,395 --> 00:58:23,500
covering the story.

1242
00:58:23,603 --> 00:58:25,467
What I need from you is
anything you can find out

1243
00:58:25,571 --> 00:58:27,918
on Lieutenant-Governor
Brandon Choi, right down

1244
00:58:28,021 --> 00:58:29,298
to her middle school yearbook.

1245
00:58:29,402 --> 00:58:32,025
And find out what the medical
issue is with the governor.

1246
00:58:32,129 --> 00:58:33,475
OK, I'm on it.

1247
00:58:33,579 --> 00:58:34,718
Is Jennifer here?

1248
00:58:34,821 --> 00:58:36,616
Has anyone seen Jennifer?

1249
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:38,169
She's in the coffee room.

1250
00:58:38,273 --> 00:58:40,309
MEGAN: She's way more
valuable than that.

1251
00:58:40,413 --> 00:58:43,312
She did a great job on
the Roanoke Ranch piece,

1252
00:58:43,416 --> 00:58:46,730
although she's the only intern
who ever does get me my coffee.

1253
00:58:46,833 --> 00:58:47,558
Scott?

1254
00:58:47,662 --> 00:58:49,042
Yeah, what?

1255
00:58:49,146 --> 00:58:52,080
You are still planning on
airing the story tonight, right?

1256
00:58:52,183 --> 00:58:54,531
What story?

1257
00:58:54,634 --> 00:58:57,223
The Roanoke Ranch story?

1258
00:58:57,326 --> 00:58:59,397
The feel-good story
you asked me to find?

1259
00:58:59,501 --> 00:59:00,985
We'll have to
hold off on that.

1260
00:59:03,505 --> 00:59:05,507
What do you mean, we'll
have to hold off on that?

1261
00:59:05,611 --> 00:59:08,683
SCOTT: OK, battle
stations, everyone.

1262
00:59:08,786 --> 00:59:09,994
Scott!

1263
00:59:10,098 --> 00:59:12,549
The woman's ranch was
on the brink of closure.

1264
00:59:12,652 --> 00:59:14,481
What woman?

1265
00:59:14,585 --> 00:59:16,691
Anne from the Roanoke Ranch.

1266
00:59:16,794 --> 00:59:18,209
SCOTT: We have a
breaking news story.

1267
00:59:18,313 --> 00:59:19,038
It's major.

1268
00:59:19,141 --> 00:59:20,004
Do you understand this?

1269
00:59:20,108 --> 00:59:21,592
You and Bart's
segment this morning,

1270
00:59:21,696 --> 00:59:23,801
it got picked up nationwide.

1271
00:59:23,905 --> 00:59:24,802
Whoa, Scott.

1272
00:59:24,906 --> 00:59:26,286
You know what
battle stations mean?

1273
00:59:26,390 --> 00:59:28,012
Everyone, including you.

1274
00:59:28,116 --> 00:59:29,186
Now get to work.

1275
00:59:29,289 --> 00:59:32,948
You wanted a feel-good
story, and I delivered.

1276
00:59:33,052 --> 00:59:35,054
I stayed up all night
doing the final edit.

1277
00:59:35,157 --> 00:59:36,296
It is in your inbox.

1278
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:38,229
And you said you would
air it on Christmas Eve.

1279
00:59:38,333 --> 00:59:39,679
So when are you going to air it?

1280
00:59:39,783 --> 00:59:41,405
When the fallout
from this story ends.

1281
00:59:41,508 --> 00:59:42,648
MEGAN: That could
be after New Year's.

1282
00:59:42,751 --> 00:59:43,683
I can't control that.

1283
00:59:43,787 --> 00:59:45,167
MEGAN: But you can
control what we air.

1284
00:59:45,271 --> 00:59:46,306
SCOTT: That's right, I can.

1285
00:59:46,410 --> 00:59:48,067
OK, then I need you
to air it tonight!

1286
00:59:48,170 --> 00:59:50,138
SCOTT: I need you to go
do your job before I have

1287
00:59:50,241 --> 00:59:52,002
one of our many
hungry interns break

1288
00:59:52,105 --> 00:59:56,972
her career on a national news
story while you end yours.

1289
00:59:57,076 --> 01:00:00,804
Megan, it's just a fluff
piece, a feel-good story.

1290
01:00:00,907 --> 01:00:02,702
This is how the news works.

1291
01:00:02,806 --> 01:00:05,843
Now go do your job.

1292
01:00:05,947 --> 01:00:08,881
[door opens, closes]

1293
01:00:12,678 --> 01:00:13,540
Where are you going?

1294
01:00:13,644 --> 01:00:14,334
Oh.

1295
01:00:14,438 --> 01:00:15,508
I'm done.

1296
01:00:15,612 --> 01:00:16,923
It's the news, Megan.

1297
01:00:17,027 --> 01:00:18,166
This is how it works.

1298
01:00:18,269 --> 01:00:20,168
Yeah, old men keep
trying to tell me that.

1299
01:00:23,067 --> 01:00:24,310
I'm sorry, Bart.

1300
01:00:24,413 --> 01:00:25,622
You don't deserve that.

1301
01:00:25,725 --> 01:00:26,519
We're on in 30.

1302
01:00:30,765 --> 01:00:33,388
It's a feel-good
story that we all need.

1303
01:00:33,491 --> 01:00:35,183
It's a help an old
woman needs, a woman

1304
01:00:35,286 --> 01:00:37,150
who has spent 40
years of her life

1305
01:00:37,254 --> 01:00:39,014
giving back to the community.

1306
01:00:39,118 --> 01:00:41,499
I've been disappointed
before too, kid.

1307
01:00:41,603 --> 01:00:43,018
But this is how it works.

1308
01:00:43,122 --> 01:00:44,917
We don't get to write the news.

1309
01:00:45,020 --> 01:00:46,746
We only report it.

1310
01:00:46,850 --> 01:00:49,956
At the end of the day, the story
doesn't matter to the station.

1311
01:00:50,060 --> 01:00:51,717
Only the ratings do.

1312
01:00:51,820 --> 01:00:54,651
It matters to me.

1313
01:00:54,754 --> 01:00:55,686
We're on in 30.

1314
01:01:02,003 --> 01:01:05,420
[neighing, barking]

1315
01:01:06,904 --> 01:01:10,287
[light music]

1316
01:01:13,255 --> 01:01:16,362
Estimates are we're going
to get 3 inches of snow.

1317
01:01:16,465 --> 01:01:17,225
Oh.

1318
01:01:17,328 --> 01:01:20,400
It will be a white Christmas.

1319
01:01:20,504 --> 01:01:23,818
When is it supposed to start?

1320
01:01:23,921 --> 01:01:26,268
No idea.

1321
01:01:26,372 --> 01:01:29,478
But we just got a booking from
a group for the blind again.

1322
01:01:29,582 --> 01:01:30,894
Well, that's nice.

1323
01:01:30,997 --> 01:01:36,037
And the Smiths just gave
their annual donation of $1,200.

1324
01:01:36,140 --> 01:01:37,797
Earth to Anne.

1325
01:01:37,901 --> 01:01:38,660
Hello?

1326
01:01:38,764 --> 01:01:40,144
I'm so sorry.

1327
01:01:40,248 --> 01:01:43,044
Did you say 12,000?

1328
01:01:43,147 --> 01:01:44,045
100.

1329
01:01:44,148 --> 01:01:45,287
1,200.

1330
01:01:45,391 --> 01:01:50,327
That's not enough to
cover a month of feed!

1331
01:01:50,430 --> 01:01:52,087
I'm sorry, everyone.

1332
01:01:52,191 --> 01:01:53,640
How horrible of me.

1333
01:01:53,744 --> 01:01:56,264
1,200 is a generous gift.

1334
01:01:56,367 --> 01:01:59,854
I'll write a heartfelt thank
you card this afternoon.

1335
01:02:10,657 --> 01:02:11,693
BRAD: Good morning.

1336
01:02:11,797 --> 01:02:13,626
ANNE: Brad, what
are you doing here?

1337
01:02:13,730 --> 01:02:15,421
I was coming to
check on you guys

1338
01:02:15,524 --> 01:02:17,906
to see if you need anything
else for the Christmas Eve party

1339
01:02:18,010 --> 01:02:19,977
tonight.

1340
01:02:20,081 --> 01:02:22,324
No.

1341
01:02:22,428 --> 01:02:23,394
What's wrong?

1342
01:02:23,498 --> 01:02:24,810
Is Crackerjack OK?

1343
01:02:24,913 --> 01:02:27,951
He is fine.

1344
01:02:28,054 --> 01:02:29,055
What's going on, Anne?

1345
01:02:31,886 --> 01:02:33,888
She's nervous about
the story tonight.

1346
01:02:33,991 --> 01:02:36,028
If donations don't
come in by Christmas--

1347
01:02:36,131 --> 01:02:38,133
She'll have to sell the ranch.

1348
01:02:38,237 --> 01:02:40,584
Yeah.

1349
01:02:40,687 --> 01:02:43,380
Just remember the
cowboy code, Aunt Anne.

1350
01:02:43,483 --> 01:02:46,107
Live each day with courage.

1351
01:02:46,210 --> 01:02:48,005
Megan promised she's
going to share that story

1352
01:02:48,109 --> 01:02:49,593
on the 6:00 PM news tonight.

1353
01:02:49,696 --> 01:02:52,285
And I just have a feeling
that once she does,

1354
01:02:52,389 --> 01:02:54,184
donations are going
to start flooding in.

1355
01:02:54,287 --> 01:02:55,875
ANNE: Oh, I hope you're right.

1356
01:02:55,979 --> 01:02:58,464
I just don't know what
I'd do without you all.

1357
01:02:58,567 --> 01:03:00,777
[ringing]

1358
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:02,226
It's Megan.

1359
01:03:02,330 --> 01:03:04,090
Oh.

1360
01:03:04,194 --> 01:03:05,816
Good afternoon, Megan.

1361
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:07,680
We've been watching
your big story.

1362
01:03:07,784 --> 01:03:08,992
How exciting.

1363
01:03:09,095 --> 01:03:10,787
Yes.

1364
01:03:10,890 --> 01:03:11,718
About that.

1365
01:03:11,822 --> 01:03:14,721
I actually have some bad news.

1366
01:03:14,825 --> 01:03:15,619
What's wrong?

1367
01:03:18,242 --> 01:03:23,144
They're not airing your
story tonight, as I'd hoped.

1368
01:03:23,247 --> 01:03:26,975
Well, that's OK.

1369
01:03:27,079 --> 01:03:32,015
It's not every day a governor
steps down from office.

1370
01:03:32,118 --> 01:03:33,430
I understand.

1371
01:03:33,533 --> 01:03:35,984
I tried my best, honestly.

1372
01:03:36,088 --> 01:03:38,953
When will it air then?

1373
01:03:39,056 --> 01:03:42,508
Maybe after New
Year's or maybe later.

1374
01:03:42,611 --> 01:03:43,958
I don't know if
it'll air at all.

1375
01:03:44,061 --> 01:03:45,373
Wait, I'm sorry.

1376
01:03:45,476 --> 01:03:47,202
I need you to say that
again because I don't

1377
01:03:47,306 --> 01:03:49,687
think I'm hearing you right.

1378
01:03:49,791 --> 01:03:50,792
It's the new governor.

1379
01:03:50,896 --> 01:03:52,518
BRAD: Don't tell us
about the new governor.

1380
01:03:52,621 --> 01:03:54,037
I didn't ask about
the new governor.

1381
01:03:54,140 --> 01:03:54,865
Brad.

1382
01:03:54,969 --> 01:03:55,832
No, Anne.

1383
01:03:55,935 --> 01:03:57,419
It's a 10-minute story.

1384
01:03:57,523 --> 01:03:58,973
You're telling me
you can't switch

1385
01:03:59,076 --> 01:04:01,285
gears for 10 lousy minutes?

1386
01:04:01,389 --> 01:04:02,977
Believe me, I tried.

1387
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:05,220
You asked us to
believe you once, Anne.

1388
01:04:05,324 --> 01:04:07,326
Don't ask us to be fools twice.

1389
01:04:11,951 --> 01:04:12,676
It's not up to me.

1390
01:04:12,779 --> 01:04:15,092
It's just how the news works.

1391
01:04:15,196 --> 01:04:16,749
It's OK, dear.

1392
01:04:16,853 --> 01:04:18,647
No, it's not, Anne.

1393
01:04:18,751 --> 01:04:20,373
You know where I'm from.

1394
01:04:20,477 --> 01:04:22,410
If you say you're going
to do a job, you either

1395
01:04:22,513 --> 01:04:25,068
get it done or you don't.

1396
01:04:25,171 --> 01:04:25,965
Brad.

1397
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:44,087
[door opens, closes]

1398
01:04:48,091 --> 01:04:50,334
It didn't go well, did it?

1399
01:04:50,438 --> 01:04:52,716
No.

1400
01:04:52,819 --> 01:04:54,994
I'm learning that cowboys
like to get the last word in,

1401
01:04:55,098 --> 01:04:57,790
and it's not always nice.

1402
01:04:57,894 --> 01:04:58,895
But he's right.

1403
01:04:58,998 --> 01:05:01,414
I promised, and I
didn't get the job done.

1404
01:05:01,518 --> 01:05:03,209
Megan, it's not your fault.

1405
01:05:03,313 --> 01:05:04,555
I know.

1406
01:05:04,659 --> 01:05:07,524
It's just I really thought
that I could help them and--

1407
01:05:07,627 --> 01:05:09,457
Look, I'm sorry
to cut this short,

1408
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:12,978
but I came in here to tell
you you're on in five, which

1409
01:05:13,081 --> 01:05:14,876
means you're now on in four.

1410
01:05:31,651 --> 01:05:33,826
How are my horses?

1411
01:05:33,930 --> 01:05:35,621
They're good.

1412
01:05:35,724 --> 01:05:39,038
And how are you doing?

1413
01:05:39,142 --> 01:05:40,867
Brad, you know
it's not her fault

1414
01:05:40,971 --> 01:05:42,628
that they won't air the story.

1415
01:05:42,731 --> 01:05:44,664
But Aunt Anne, she
made you a promise.

1416
01:05:44,768 --> 01:05:45,803
ANNE: I know she did.

1417
01:05:45,907 --> 01:05:49,117
Because she has a good
heart and knows what

1418
01:05:49,221 --> 01:05:53,397
this ranch means to not only
me, but everybody else here,

1419
01:05:53,501 --> 01:05:55,399
including you.

1420
01:05:55,503 --> 01:05:57,850
She cares about us, Brad.

1421
01:05:57,954 --> 01:06:00,680
But you already know that.

1422
01:06:00,784 --> 01:06:02,993
Go for a ride and
clear your head.

1423
01:06:03,097 --> 01:06:05,892
Breakfast will be ready
when you get back.

1424
01:06:05,996 --> 01:06:06,859
Yes, ma'am.

1425
01:06:18,181 --> 01:06:20,010
News at noon with
national coverage.

1426
01:06:20,114 --> 01:06:21,356
Are you ready?

1427
01:06:21,460 --> 01:06:23,289
I've had 30 minutes to think
about what I'm going to say,

1428
01:06:23,393 --> 01:06:25,326
and I'm ready.

1429
01:06:25,429 --> 01:06:28,950
[upbeat music]

1430
01:06:39,581 --> 01:06:40,927
Good afternoon, everyone.

1431
01:06:41,031 --> 01:06:44,379
I'm Bart Hawley, along with
my co-host, Megan Williams.

1432
01:06:44,483 --> 01:06:45,725
Afternoon, Bart.

1433
01:06:45,829 --> 01:06:47,106
Let's get right to it.

1434
01:06:47,210 --> 01:06:49,212
It looks like folks are
excited about having

1435
01:06:49,315 --> 01:06:53,009
the country's first female
Asian governor, Megan.

1436
01:06:53,112 --> 01:06:54,320
It sure does, Bart.

1437
01:06:54,424 --> 01:06:56,529
People are concerned with
the health of Governor Lewis

1438
01:06:56,633 --> 01:06:58,393
and send him their best wishes.

1439
01:06:58,497 --> 01:07:00,016
But at the same
time, Governor Choi

1440
01:07:00,119 --> 01:07:02,225
is preparing for her
swearing-in ceremony, which

1441
01:07:02,328 --> 01:07:03,778
will take place in an hour.

1442
01:07:03,881 --> 01:07:06,746
We will be streaming it
live, online and on our app.

1443
01:07:06,850 --> 01:07:08,196
That's right.

1444
01:07:08,300 --> 01:07:11,441
Now, here's what you can expect
during the swearing-in process.

1445
01:07:11,544 --> 01:07:13,857
Bart, I'm going to pause
you for just a second.

1446
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:15,445
Oh, OK.

1447
01:07:15,548 --> 01:07:17,343
So, as we know,
Michigan's new governor

1448
01:07:17,447 --> 01:07:19,207
is breaking national news.

1449
01:07:19,311 --> 01:07:21,658
But it is Christmas Eve, and
what would the holiday season

1450
01:07:21,761 --> 01:07:22,969
be without a heartwarming tale?

1451
01:07:23,073 --> 01:07:24,212
SCOTT: What is she doing?

1452
01:07:24,316 --> 01:07:26,007
We're live across the country.

1453
01:07:26,111 --> 01:07:28,596
The Roanoke Ranch For Kids
has been helping differently

1454
01:07:28,699 --> 01:07:31,012
abled children,
veterans with PTSD,

1455
01:07:31,116 --> 01:07:33,842
and the underprivileged
for decades now.

1456
01:07:33,946 --> 01:07:35,810
And today, on
Christmas Eve, they

1457
01:07:35,913 --> 01:07:38,192
need our help more than ever.

1458
01:07:38,295 --> 01:07:39,331
What's going on?

1459
01:07:39,434 --> 01:07:40,159
SCOTT: I don't know.

1460
01:07:40,263 --> 01:07:41,264
I have no idea.

1461
01:07:41,367 --> 01:07:42,782
BART: It appears we're
having a little bit

1462
01:07:42,886 --> 01:07:43,887
of technical difficulty.

1463
01:07:43,990 --> 01:07:45,440
Maybe we should cut
to a commercial--

1464
01:07:45,544 --> 01:07:47,063
We don't need to
cut to a commercial.

1465
01:07:47,166 --> 01:07:48,823
We can stay live, right?

1466
01:07:48,926 --> 01:07:49,686
OK.

1467
01:07:49,789 --> 01:07:50,859
Yeah.

1468
01:07:50,963 --> 01:07:51,757
Sure.

1469
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,452
You never know what's going
to happen in your life, folks.

1470
01:07:57,556 --> 01:07:59,592
Bart, do you have
anybody in your life

1471
01:07:59,696 --> 01:08:01,698
who could benefit from a
little bit of fresh air

1472
01:08:01,801 --> 01:08:03,009
and animal therapy?

1473
01:08:03,113 --> 01:08:05,667
Oh, yes, of course.

1474
01:08:05,771 --> 01:08:09,844
I have a friend whose son has--

1475
01:08:09,947 --> 01:08:11,432
in fact, I'm his godfather.

1476
01:08:11,535 --> 01:08:13,572
And he is--

1477
01:08:13,675 --> 01:08:14,918
What do you want me to do?

1478
01:08:15,021 --> 01:08:17,852
Roll her darn story.

1479
01:08:17,955 --> 01:08:19,233
Unbelievable.

1480
01:08:19,336 --> 01:08:23,099
Well, looks like we've
got a package ready.

1481
01:08:23,202 --> 01:08:23,927
Let's take a look.

1482
01:08:24,030 --> 01:08:25,687
The Roanoke Ranch.

1483
01:08:25,791 --> 01:08:26,895
And we're out.

1484
01:08:31,486 --> 01:08:33,143
Was that?

1485
01:08:33,247 --> 01:08:34,765
Did I miss something?

1486
01:08:34,869 --> 01:08:36,802
It's been nice
working with you, Bart.

1487
01:08:36,905 --> 01:08:38,217
You're leaving?

1488
01:08:38,321 --> 01:08:39,908
I'm pretty sure I'm fired.

1489
01:08:40,012 --> 01:08:40,806
Megan!

1490
01:08:45,949 --> 01:08:46,950
I know.

1491
01:08:47,053 --> 01:08:47,847
I know.

1492
01:08:54,716 --> 01:08:56,304
Megan, that was awesome.

1493
01:08:56,408 --> 01:08:57,374
Thank you.

1494
01:08:57,478 --> 01:08:59,721
Scott is in super
panic mode right now.

1495
01:08:59,825 --> 01:09:01,240
Your segment ends
in six minutes,

1496
01:09:01,344 --> 01:09:02,586
and he doesn't have a co-anchor.

1497
01:09:02,690 --> 01:09:04,036
He even asked me to do it.

1498
01:09:04,140 --> 01:09:05,831
- Can you believe that?
- What did you tell him?

1499
01:09:05,934 --> 01:09:07,315
JENNIFER: I told
him no, of course.

1500
01:09:07,419 --> 01:09:09,179
I'm not going to do
that to a friend, Megan.

1501
01:09:09,283 --> 01:09:12,631
MEGAN: Jennifer, I did this
to myself, and I will be fine.

1502
01:09:12,734 --> 01:09:15,392
Believe me, I just broke
a national news story

1503
01:09:15,496 --> 01:09:18,809
and shot the most heartwarming
local piece of a decade.

1504
01:09:18,913 --> 01:09:20,535
The New Year's is going
to bring me better

1505
01:09:20,639 --> 01:09:22,503
and bigger job opportunities.

1506
01:09:22,606 --> 01:09:25,091
But you are a 19-year-old
broadcast student.

1507
01:09:25,195 --> 01:09:27,680
You have a chance to
go make your debut

1508
01:09:27,784 --> 01:09:29,682
with a national news story.

1509
01:09:29,786 --> 01:09:30,649
Go!

1510
01:09:30,752 --> 01:09:32,029
Are you sure?

1511
01:09:32,133 --> 01:09:34,687
MEGAN: Jennifer,
you are on in five.

1512
01:09:40,900 --> 01:09:42,039
BART: Stay tuned, folks.

1513
01:09:42,143 --> 01:09:44,732
We're counting down to
the swearing-in ceremony.

1514
01:09:44,835 --> 01:09:46,285
Meanwhile, if you're
online, you can

1515
01:09:46,389 --> 01:09:48,425
do some last-minute
Christmas shopping,

1516
01:09:48,529 --> 01:09:50,669
or you could watch <i>Die Hard.</i>

1517
01:09:50,772 --> 01:09:52,015
Never heard of it.

1518
01:09:52,118 --> 01:09:55,743
Die <i>Hard, only</i>the best
Christmas movie ever.

1519
01:09:55,846 --> 01:09:57,469
I'm messing with you.

1520
01:09:57,572 --> 01:09:59,747
But that's not really
a Christmas movie.

1521
01:09:59,850 --> 01:10:03,371
<i>Christmas at the Holly Hotel,</i>
now that's my favorite Christmas

1522
01:10:03,475 --> 01:10:04,752
movie of all time.

1523
01:10:04,855 --> 01:10:08,825
I love that and the follow-up,
A <i>Fireman for Christmas.</i>

1524
01:10:08,928 --> 01:10:11,759
And both of those filmed
right here in Michigan.

1525
01:10:11,862 --> 01:10:14,244
Now, folks, I'd like you
to meet my new co-host,

1526
01:10:14,348 --> 01:10:16,108
Jennifer DeAngelo.

1527
01:10:16,212 --> 01:10:17,385
Did I say that right?

1528
01:10:17,489 --> 01:10:19,974
You sure did, Mr. Hawley.

1529
01:10:20,077 --> 01:10:21,700
Oh, you can call me Bart.

1530
01:10:21,803 --> 01:10:23,771
She's fine, all right?

1531
01:10:23,874 --> 01:10:26,083
Well, let's get back to
our main story of the day.

1532
01:10:32,435 --> 01:10:33,608
Hello?

1533
01:10:33,712 --> 01:10:36,680
One of the volunteers said
that Anne was in the barn.

1534
01:10:36,784 --> 01:10:37,647
Is she here?

1535
01:10:37,750 --> 01:10:39,304
No, I think
she's in the house.

1536
01:10:42,307 --> 01:10:43,342
I hope you're hungry.

1537
01:10:43,446 --> 01:10:45,862
It's our Christmas
party tonight, featuring

1538
01:10:45,965 --> 01:10:48,589
a famous roadkill grill.

1539
01:10:48,692 --> 01:10:49,486
Yum.

1540
01:10:52,627 --> 01:10:55,527
Barf city.

1541
01:10:55,630 --> 01:10:57,494
Josh.

1542
01:10:57,598 --> 01:10:58,530
Who was that?

1543
01:10:58,633 --> 01:10:59,531
The real estate lady.

1544
01:10:59,634 --> 01:11:00,601
She's here to see Anne.

1545
01:11:04,052 --> 01:11:05,191
Hello, Anne.

1546
01:11:05,295 --> 01:11:06,262
Oh.

1547
01:11:06,365 --> 01:11:09,230
I forgot you were
coming by this evening.

1548
01:11:09,334 --> 01:11:10,818
Well, we can keep this brief.

1549
01:11:10,921 --> 01:11:12,647
Just some quick signatures.

1550
01:11:12,751 --> 01:11:13,786
Are you hungry?

1551
01:11:13,890 --> 01:11:14,994
Oh, no.

1552
01:11:15,098 --> 01:11:16,133
Thank you.

1553
01:11:16,237 --> 01:11:17,687
ANNE: Well, you
know, you always have

1554
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,861
a plate of food in my kitchen.

1555
01:11:19,965 --> 01:11:23,348
Let's go to the table.

1556
01:11:23,451 --> 01:11:26,005
Not your kitchen
for long, lady.

1557
01:11:26,109 --> 01:11:29,802
We're going to bulldoze
this right down.

1558
01:11:29,906 --> 01:11:31,839
HILARY: What time is
Brad coming by today?

1559
01:11:31,942 --> 01:11:32,943
JOSH: Not till the party.

1560
01:11:36,222 --> 01:11:38,846
What's wrong?

1561
01:11:38,949 --> 01:11:40,192
Everything.

1562
01:11:40,296 --> 01:11:42,850
Anne's signing the papers
to sell the ranch right now.

1563
01:11:45,922 --> 01:11:48,234
BRAD: Esteemed board
members, my client's family

1564
01:11:48,338 --> 01:11:51,341
has owned this plot of land
for over six generations.

1565
01:11:51,445 --> 01:11:54,758
We feel that rezoning is not
only unfair, but unethical.

1566
01:11:54,862 --> 01:11:56,588
[phone buzzing]

1567
01:11:59,038 --> 01:12:00,385
My apologies.

1568
01:12:00,488 --> 01:12:03,767
By rezoning this parcel to allow
an affluent influence to move

1569
01:12:03,871 --> 01:12:06,563
in and commercialize our
town, you only further drive

1570
01:12:06,667 --> 01:12:08,531
a wedge between the
pillars of this community

1571
01:12:08,634 --> 01:12:12,120
and what this
community stands for.

1572
01:12:12,224 --> 01:12:14,330
We normally could
just do this online,

1573
01:12:14,433 --> 01:12:16,366
but I wanted to
see you personally.

1574
01:12:16,470 --> 01:12:19,162
Well, I appreciate
that very much.

1575
01:12:19,265 --> 01:12:24,788
It's like the kids say,
I'm a bit old school.

1576
01:12:24,892 --> 01:12:27,860
Here's the contract.

1577
01:12:27,964 --> 01:12:30,207
All I need for you
to do is to sign

1578
01:12:30,311 --> 01:12:33,383
an initial in all of the places
that have an X next to them.

1579
01:12:36,110 --> 01:12:38,250
Gosh, there sure
are a lot of X's.

1580
01:12:42,358 --> 01:12:43,048
HILARY: Hello?

1581
01:12:43,151 --> 01:12:44,774
Hilary, it's Megan.

1582
01:12:44,877 --> 01:12:46,396
Is Brad there?

1583
01:12:46,500 --> 01:12:47,535
No.

1584
01:12:47,639 --> 01:12:50,296
And I can't get him on
his cell phone either.

1585
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:51,919
OK.

1586
01:12:52,022 --> 01:12:54,715
Well, have you looked at the
website to look at donations?

1587
01:12:54,818 --> 01:12:56,682
No.

1588
01:12:56,786 --> 01:12:59,409
And I don't need to.

1589
01:12:59,513 --> 01:13:01,687
Not anymore anyway.

1590
01:13:01,791 --> 01:13:02,516
Why?

1591
01:13:02,619 --> 01:13:04,276
Did something happen?

1592
01:13:04,380 --> 01:13:06,796
Anne just sold the ranch.

1593
01:13:06,899 --> 01:13:09,212
You've got to
be joking with me.

1594
01:13:09,315 --> 01:13:11,697
I wouldn't joke about
something like that.

1595
01:13:11,801 --> 01:13:15,460
OK, Hilary, I need you to pull
up the Roanoke Ranch website.

1596
01:13:15,563 --> 01:13:16,461
OK.

1597
01:13:16,564 --> 01:13:17,531
But why?

1598
01:13:17,634 --> 01:13:18,670
MEGAN [ON PHONE]:
Just show an and we'll

1599
01:13:18,773 --> 01:13:19,740
be there as soon as we can.

1600
01:13:19,843 --> 01:13:21,707
OK.

1601
01:13:21,811 --> 01:13:24,641
Bye.

1602
01:13:24,745 --> 01:13:29,819
[sighs] Anne,
what have you done?

1603
01:13:29,922 --> 01:13:31,268
Oh, Anne.

1604
01:13:31,372 --> 01:13:33,270
What did you do?

1605
01:13:33,374 --> 01:13:36,273
Come on.

1606
01:13:36,377 --> 01:13:37,343
Oh, my!

1607
01:13:37,447 --> 01:13:40,312
Where did all these
donations come from?

1608
01:13:40,416 --> 01:13:41,451
I have no idea.

1609
01:13:44,074 --> 01:13:45,006
ANNE: Oh, Megan!

1610
01:13:45,110 --> 01:13:48,147
We have close to
$100,000 in donations.

1611
01:13:48,251 --> 01:13:50,460
I bet that triples
by the end of tonight.

1612
01:13:50,564 --> 01:13:51,875
Are you serious?

1613
01:13:51,979 --> 01:13:53,049
How did this happen?

1614
01:13:53,152 --> 01:13:54,947
JENNIFER: You haven't
seen the afternoon news?

1615
01:13:55,051 --> 01:13:56,259
We ran the story.

1616
01:13:56,362 --> 01:13:58,468
Well, Megan ran the
story nationally.

1617
01:13:58,572 --> 01:13:59,952
It was awesome.
ANNE: Oh!

1618
01:14:00,056 --> 01:14:01,989
I just wish I had caught
you before you signed

1619
01:14:02,092 --> 01:14:03,680
that contract with Deborah.

1620
01:14:03,784 --> 01:14:05,682
ANNE: Well, I do too.

1621
01:14:05,786 --> 01:14:09,859
But the fact that you
cared means so much to me.

1622
01:14:09,962 --> 01:14:12,517
You tried your hardest, dear.

1623
01:14:12,620 --> 01:14:16,037
I'm sorry it didn't work out.

1624
01:14:16,141 --> 01:14:18,557
It just wasn't meant to be.

1625
01:14:18,661 --> 01:14:21,008
FRANK: To Deborah,
the next Dottie

1626
01:14:21,111 --> 01:14:22,561
Herman at Mitchell and Fields.

1627
01:14:22,665 --> 01:14:25,806
[applause]

1628
01:14:27,670 --> 01:14:28,636
Who's Dottie Herman?

1629
01:14:28,740 --> 01:14:31,156
[laughter]

1630
01:14:31,259 --> 01:14:34,815
You know who Barbara Corcoran
is from Shark <i>Tank, correct?</i>

1631
01:14:34,918 --> 01:14:35,643
Of course.

1632
01:14:35,747 --> 01:14:37,265
She's my hero.

1633
01:14:37,369 --> 01:14:41,166
Dottie Herman is
Barbara times 1,000.

1634
01:14:41,269 --> 01:14:44,238
She's the richest self-made
woman in real estate.

1635
01:14:44,341 --> 01:14:46,723
I'm OK with that.

1636
01:14:46,827 --> 01:14:49,001
I see a future
partner in the making.

1637
01:14:49,105 --> 01:14:52,246
[applause]

1638
01:14:54,075 --> 01:14:55,663
ANNE: I feel horrible.

1639
01:14:55,767 --> 01:14:57,631
I let you all down.

1640
01:14:57,734 --> 01:15:01,427
Oh, Anne, it is not your
fault. If it's anyone's fault,

1641
01:15:01,531 --> 01:15:02,567
it's mine.

1642
01:15:02,670 --> 01:15:06,225
I just wish I could have
done something sooner.

1643
01:15:06,329 --> 01:15:07,813
Brad.

1644
01:15:07,917 --> 01:15:09,850
Brad can fix this.

1645
01:15:09,953 --> 01:15:12,162
MEGAN: Well, Brad's not exactly
talking to me right now,

1646
01:15:12,266 --> 01:15:13,543
and he's not even here.

1647
01:15:13,647 --> 01:15:14,510
He's in court today.

1648
01:15:14,613 --> 01:15:15,718
Oh, for goodness sakes.

1649
01:15:15,821 --> 01:15:18,030
You and Brad need to
get over yourselves.

1650
01:15:18,134 --> 01:15:19,584
Kiss and make up already.

1651
01:15:19,687 --> 01:15:22,172
There's nothing
I would love more.

1652
01:15:22,276 --> 01:15:23,829
ANNE: Good.

1653
01:15:23,933 --> 01:15:27,695
Has he just pulled up?

1654
01:15:27,799 --> 01:15:29,870
He's wearing a suit!

1655
01:15:29,973 --> 01:15:31,285
ANNE: He looks so different.

1656
01:15:36,704 --> 01:15:37,981
Ladies.

1657
01:15:38,085 --> 01:15:40,950
ANNE: Well, looks like my
cowboy is a professional.

1658
01:15:41,053 --> 01:15:44,574
Still live by the cowboy
code, even dressed like that?

1659
01:15:44,678 --> 01:15:45,644
Of course, I do.

1660
01:15:45,748 --> 01:15:46,852
ANNE: Good.

1661
01:15:46,956 --> 01:15:50,787
Then will you take a look
at these papers I signed

1662
01:15:50,891 --> 01:15:53,928
and see if there's is any
way I can get out of this?

1663
01:15:54,032 --> 01:15:55,447
BRAD: Signed?

1664
01:15:55,551 --> 01:15:56,413
Wait.

1665
01:15:56,517 --> 01:15:57,656
What happened?

1666
01:15:57,760 --> 01:15:59,693
Aunt Anne, how many
times have I told

1667
01:15:59,796 --> 01:16:02,350
you not to sign anything without
letting me look at them first?

1668
01:16:02,454 --> 01:16:04,145
ANNE: Well, I know,
but she was in a hurry.

1669
01:16:04,249 --> 01:16:05,146
So what?

1670
01:16:05,250 --> 01:16:06,423
How many times
have I told you not

1671
01:16:06,527 --> 01:16:08,391
to sign anything without
letting me look at them first?

1672
01:16:08,494 --> 01:16:09,530
But it's Christmas Eve.

1673
01:16:09,634 --> 01:16:11,497
BRAD: What does that
have to do with anything?

1674
01:16:11,601 --> 01:16:14,535
There's no law saying signatures
don't count on Christmas Eve.

1675
01:16:14,639 --> 01:16:17,469
How many times do I have to
tell you not to sign anything

1676
01:16:17,573 --> 01:16:19,057
until I look at them first?

1677
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:21,300
OK.

1678
01:16:21,404 --> 01:16:22,854
But you don't have
to yell at me.

1679
01:16:25,615 --> 01:16:27,617
You're right.

1680
01:16:27,721 --> 01:16:29,585
And I'm sorry.

1681
01:16:29,688 --> 01:16:31,069
May I please look at the papers?

1682
01:16:31,172 --> 01:16:31,966
Yes, you may.

1683
01:16:36,384 --> 01:16:37,696
So can you do anything?

1684
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:39,595
I literally just sat
down, and I haven't

1685
01:16:39,698 --> 01:16:40,837
even looked at the first word.

1686
01:16:40,941 --> 01:16:41,666
What is she doing?

1687
01:16:41,769 --> 01:16:43,115
What are you even doing here?

1688
01:16:43,219 --> 01:16:44,254
ANNE: She ran the show.

1689
01:16:44,358 --> 01:16:45,221
I knew she would.

1690
01:16:45,324 --> 01:16:46,602
It ran nationally.

1691
01:16:46,705 --> 01:16:47,533
Can you believe it?

1692
01:16:47,637 --> 01:16:49,466
The donations are flooding in.

1693
01:16:54,195 --> 01:16:55,300
You did this?

1694
01:16:55,403 --> 01:16:56,301
MEGAN: Mm-hmm.

1695
01:16:56,404 --> 01:16:58,061
I just did what
you told me to do,

1696
01:16:58,165 --> 01:17:00,546
and I found a way
to make it happen.

1697
01:17:00,650 --> 01:17:01,962
I finished what I started.

1698
01:17:04,827 --> 01:17:07,726
I love you.

1699
01:17:07,830 --> 01:17:10,418
Did you just say you love me?

1700
01:17:10,522 --> 01:17:11,350
Knee-jerk reaction.

1701
01:17:11,454 --> 01:17:12,213
Don't worry about it.

1702
01:17:12,317 --> 01:17:13,042
I'm sorry.

1703
01:17:13,145 --> 01:17:14,422
Horse poop.

1704
01:17:14,526 --> 01:17:17,736
Never say you're sorry for
telling someone you love them.

1705
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:18,875
I love you too.

1706
01:17:21,706 --> 01:17:26,642
Are, are you coming to the
Christmas Eve party tonight?

1707
01:17:26,745 --> 01:17:28,195
I wouldn't miss
it for the world.

1708
01:17:31,647 --> 01:17:34,580
No matter what happens,
I'll see you there.

1709
01:17:37,480 --> 01:17:39,758
But right now, I
really need to focus.

1710
01:17:52,495 --> 01:17:54,117
Guys, please stop hovering.

1711
01:17:54,221 --> 01:17:56,085
I can't concentrate.

1712
01:17:56,188 --> 01:17:57,431
Please, I need some space.

1713
01:18:03,230 --> 01:18:04,749
Anne.

1714
01:18:04,852 --> 01:18:06,164
The first guests are arriving.

1715
01:18:06,267 --> 01:18:07,959
We should go out to the barn.

1716
01:18:08,062 --> 01:18:09,408
OK.

1717
01:18:09,512 --> 01:18:11,687
Brad, come with us.

1718
01:18:11,790 --> 01:18:15,345
I need at least
another hour or so.

1719
01:18:15,449 --> 01:18:16,415
It's OK.

1720
01:18:16,519 --> 01:18:17,865
You tried hard.

1721
01:18:17,969 --> 01:18:23,181
If this is our last party at the
ranch, I want you to be there.

1722
01:18:23,284 --> 01:18:25,908
I promise, I'll come over.

1723
01:18:26,011 --> 01:18:28,013
I just need a little bit
more time to look at this.

1724
01:18:28,117 --> 01:18:28,911
Anne.

1725
01:18:30,844 --> 01:18:31,637
OK.

1726
01:18:42,269 --> 01:18:43,719
[door closes]

1727
01:18:52,728 --> 01:18:54,626
Excuse me, this is my office.
Who are you?

1728
01:18:54,730 --> 01:18:56,317
BRAD: I'm the man
who's not going to let

1729
01:18:56,421 --> 01:18:57,525
the Grinch steal Christmas.

1730
01:18:57,629 --> 01:19:00,632
HSSA, the Home
Solicitation Sales Act?

1731
01:19:00,736 --> 01:19:04,015
Michigan State law says, and
I quote, that sellers have

1732
01:19:04,118 --> 01:19:06,603
a three-day right of rescission
if they did not list their home

1733
01:19:06,707 --> 01:19:08,951
for sale, but were
rather contacted

1734
01:19:09,054 --> 01:19:14,404
by a potential buyer via phone,
text, email, or in person.

1735
01:19:14,508 --> 01:19:16,613
As Anne's legal counsel,
I am rescinding this sale.

1736
01:19:16,717 --> 01:19:18,029
But--

1737
01:19:18,132 --> 01:19:19,616
And you better believe this is
going to be on the judge's desk

1738
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:20,479
by Monday at 9:00 AM.

1739
01:19:20,583 --> 01:19:21,273
But--

1740
01:19:21,377 --> 01:19:22,205
MEGAN: Good night.

1741
01:19:22,309 --> 01:19:24,345
And Merry Christmas.

1742
01:19:24,449 --> 01:19:27,866
[christmas music]

1743
01:19:34,079 --> 01:19:36,668
[chatter]

1744
01:20:17,191 --> 01:20:17,882
JESSIE: Excuse me.

1745
01:20:17,985 --> 01:20:19,090
Excuse me.

1746
01:20:19,193 --> 01:20:21,126
Excuse me.

1747
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:23,439
Ladies and gentlemen,
I would like

1748
01:20:23,542 --> 01:20:26,752
to introduce you to the woman
who has made this all possible,

1749
01:20:26,856 --> 01:20:28,306
Mrs. Anne Devon.

1750
01:20:28,409 --> 01:20:31,723
[cheers, applause]

1751
01:20:35,071 --> 01:20:37,625
Thank you.

1752
01:20:37,729 --> 01:20:41,802
All right, if I could have
all of your attention.

1753
01:20:41,906 --> 01:20:46,220
First of all, I want to thank
all of you for coming tonight.

1754
01:20:46,324 --> 01:20:49,154
Only a few days ago, I
didn't even know if there

1755
01:20:49,258 --> 01:20:51,018
was going to be a party.

1756
01:20:51,122 --> 01:20:53,607
I just didn't feel up to it.

1757
01:20:53,710 --> 01:20:56,575
But I'm so glad I did.

1758
01:20:56,679 --> 01:21:00,407
You all have lifted my heart.

1759
01:21:00,510 --> 01:21:04,790
My husband, Bill,
God rest his soul,

1760
01:21:04,894 --> 01:21:09,312
always said that the
horses are the real heroes.

1761
01:21:09,416 --> 01:21:15,318
However, that is true, but
there are a lot more heroes

1762
01:21:15,422 --> 01:21:18,459
on this ranch who
have done so much

1763
01:21:18,563 --> 01:21:20,703
to make it the way it is today.

1764
01:21:20,806 --> 01:21:26,847
And all of you volunteers,
thank you so much.

1765
01:21:26,951 --> 01:21:31,231
I would just like to
list a few of the names

1766
01:21:31,334 --> 01:21:34,924
to have people that
have done so much

1767
01:21:35,028 --> 01:21:37,478
for the ranch over the years.

1768
01:21:37,582 --> 01:21:40,619
First, we have Aaron
and Ginger Decker.

1769
01:21:40,723 --> 01:21:42,518
We wouldn't even
have the ranch if it

1770
01:21:42,621 --> 01:21:45,107
weren't for Ginger and Aaron.

1771
01:21:45,210 --> 01:21:45,901
Thank you.

1772
01:21:46,004 --> 01:21:49,421
[applause]

1773
01:21:49,525 --> 01:21:51,458
And let's just
hold our applause,

1774
01:21:51,561 --> 01:21:53,943
because there are a few
more that I want to thank.

1775
01:21:54,047 --> 01:21:56,532
And then we can give them a big
round of applause at the end,

1776
01:21:56,635 --> 01:21:57,360
OK?

1777
01:21:57,464 --> 01:21:59,845
Oh, my nephew, Brad Bennett.

1778
01:21:59,949 --> 01:22:03,677
He's not here yet, but I
know that he's on the way.

1779
01:22:03,780 --> 01:22:05,817
I have to thank him for so much.

1780
01:22:05,921 --> 01:22:10,477
Martin and Julia Reisig
and Susan Stoddard.

1781
01:22:10,580 --> 01:22:13,066
Mike and Danette Vander Ploeg.

1782
01:22:13,169 --> 01:22:16,138
Andy Decker and Mrs. Pat Decker.

1783
01:22:16,241 --> 01:22:17,104
Oh.

1784
01:22:17,208 --> 01:22:19,624
Erin's mom, who
is just so great.

1785
01:22:19,727 --> 01:22:22,420
And she makes great cookies too.

1786
01:22:22,523 --> 01:22:23,317
Hey you.

1787
01:22:23,421 --> 01:22:24,353
Hi.

1788
01:22:24,456 --> 01:22:26,079
You figured something
out, didn't you?

1789
01:22:26,182 --> 01:22:27,873
Sure did.

1790
01:22:27,977 --> 01:22:29,806
I really wish Anne would
let me look at things

1791
01:22:29,910 --> 01:22:32,085
before she signs them though.

1792
01:22:32,188 --> 01:22:35,536
But as of Monday morning, 9:00
AM, we are out of the contract.

1793
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:37,607
Oh, that is so great!

1794
01:22:37,711 --> 01:22:41,059
ANNE: And Rachel
and Rebecca Smith.

1795
01:22:41,163 --> 01:22:48,342
And last but not least, I
want to thank Megan Williams.

1796
01:22:48,446 --> 01:22:54,417
Megan, you know how much this
ranch means to me and to all

1797
01:22:54,521 --> 01:22:58,249
the kids who find joy here.

1798
01:22:58,352 --> 01:23:04,462
And even after losing her job,
wild horses, pun intended,

1799
01:23:04,565 --> 01:23:08,535
didn't stop you from getting
my story out to the world.

1800
01:23:08,638 --> 01:23:12,021
I will be forever grateful.

1801
01:23:12,125 --> 01:23:14,920
Thank you, Megan, my dear.

1802
01:23:15,024 --> 01:23:15,714
Cheers.

1803
01:23:15,818 --> 01:23:19,097
[cheers, applause]

1804
01:23:23,308 --> 01:23:24,068
Thank you.

1805
01:23:29,694 --> 01:23:32,869
[cheers, applause]

1806
01:23:34,802 --> 01:23:35,907
Thank you, Anne.

1807
01:23:36,011 --> 01:23:37,460
And thank you, everyone.

1808
01:23:37,564 --> 01:23:40,256
But if I could just have one
more moment of your attention,

1809
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:43,915
Brad has something
he'd like to say.

1810
01:23:44,019 --> 01:23:47,160
Ladies and
gentlemen, Aunt Anne,

1811
01:23:47,263 --> 01:23:49,196
I have officially
voided the contract,

1812
01:23:49,300 --> 01:23:51,716
and the Roanoke Ranch
For Kids is here to stay.

1813
01:23:51,819 --> 01:23:55,237
[cheers, applause]

1814
01:23:57,239 --> 01:24:00,069

1815
01:24:00,173 --> 01:24:02,692
[chatter]

1816
01:24:42,974 --> 01:24:48,876
You know what I said and
I just blurted it out?

1817
01:24:48,980 --> 01:24:51,396
I meant it.

1818
01:24:51,500 --> 01:24:54,986
What normally takes
me months, even a year

1819
01:24:55,090 --> 01:24:56,229
to say something like that.

1820
01:24:56,332 --> 01:25:00,060
But it was just the moment.

1821
01:25:00,164 --> 01:25:05,410
You don't say something like
that unless you mean it.

1822
01:25:05,514 --> 01:25:08,137
I love you, Brad.

1823
01:25:08,241 --> 01:25:10,001
Merry Christmas.

1824
01:25:10,105 --> 01:25:11,347
Merry Christmas.

1825
01:25:20,977 --> 01:25:24,464
[solemn music]

1826
01:26:17,758 --> 01:26:20,451
I miss you so much.

1827
01:26:20,554 --> 01:26:25,835
But you'll be happy to know
that I'm going to live out

1828
01:26:25,939 --> 01:26:29,494
the rest of my days
in this beautiful home

1829
01:26:29,598 --> 01:26:31,807
that you built for us.

1830
01:26:31,910 --> 01:26:38,848
And when I'm gone, I want Brad
and Megan to have the ranch.

1831
01:26:38,952 --> 01:26:42,611
Merry Christmas, Bill.
