Annie: My name is Annie Morgan.

As a marriage and family counselor,

I don't like seeing relationships fail

and families come apart.

So, I work outside the box to help my clients open up.

I quit! No!

I want couples to understand

that behind every strong relationship is courage,

and it's always worth the fight.

[ Telephone ringing ] Annie: I think you've reached a new level of emotional intimacy.

But don't forget to do your homework, okay?

You've got to practice to create new habits.

Woman: Good night, Annie. Good night.

[ Answering machine beeps ]

Darcy: Annie, I know you're there.

I have tickets to the citizens for a better Colorado benefit,

and it's tonight.

It's a big event, and Joe can't come.

And I don't want to go alone. Please come.

I haven't seen you in ages.

By the way, i have new baby pictures.

Gotcha! Hmm.

[ Whistle blows ]

♪ What I believe ♪

Yeah! Ha ha ha! Tom Brady, eat your heart out!

Kenny!

Stop horsing around and focus!

Oh, come...

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Good arm, Kenny. Work on those post patterns.

Dad, I need to get home. I have homework.

What's wrong, sweetheart? Huh?

Last night, I had another dream about mom.

Mark: Zoe!

Zoe! Kenny!

Kenny! Come on! We're gonna be late!

Kenny: I don't want to go.

It's educational!

[ Chuckles ] Exactly! That's why I don't want to go!

[ Sighs ]

Would you go get him and tell him we have to go now?

Touchdown! That's what I'm talkin' about!

Neanderthal, turn off the football.

We're going now!

Stop.

What? Stop! Come on!

You're freakin' out my brain waves!

We're going.

[ Groans ]

[ Sighing ]

Tuck your shirt in.

Dad! You know how much I hate these events.

Listen to me.

I am desperate to raise money for this program.

Having you guys here with me makes me look good.

Now, come on.

Dad, how many of these events have we been to

in the past two months?

Six or seven. Why?

And you've struck out all seven?

[ Clears throat ] Your point?

Kenny was with us every time.

Maybe with a family of two, you'd have more luck.

[ Both muttering mockingly ]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Okay. All right.

Chill. Okay.

[ Jazz music playing ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

So, if I can raise $250,000 privately,

the city will provide a matching grant

to make up the difference.

Well, that's a lot of money, Mr. crane.

Have you read the statistics on latchkey kids?

They drop out of school, hang with the wrong crowds,

get into trouble -- you name it.

My dad's after-school program is about helping society.

He's looking at the big picture.

This is my daughter, Zoe, our unofficial spokesperson.

This is my son, Kenny, strong silent type.

All right. Well, it looks like I'll be working for you in a few years.

Yeah, probably all us, really, right?

Hey. Don't get lost.

Okay.

Nice job.

Look, I realize it's an awful lot of money. It is.

But with the economy, there's just a lot of belt-tightening going on right now, you know?

My son's right, Mr. crane.

Can our corporation's limited charitable funds

be best spent on your program?

That's the question.

Alexander Bishop.

I remember watching you play for the broncos.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Bishop.

They'll let anybody into this party, won't they?

Well, the fact that you're here certainly proves that.

Hi, Brenda. Hello.

Uh, Brenda and Kurt Warner,

Alexander Bishop and his son Jake.

How you doing, Jake? Hi. It's good to meet you.

It's a pleasure.

You guys got to watch out for this guy.

He once hit me so hard, it took me two days to remember

if I was in Denver or St. Louis.

[ Chuckles ] Bish: I saw that game.

That was right before you blew out your knee, right?

That was the career ender.

Then I got into something a little more satisfying,

and I understand you have, too, Kurt.

Yeah, we're working a lot with our first things first foundation.

Still got my number?

Yeah. All right.

Give me a call sometime. We'll catch up.

I will. See you, Kurt.

Very nice to meet you guys. See you.

Good guy.

[ Roar ]

Man: This Tyrannosaurus Rex

is one of the largest land carnivores of all time,

measuring up to 42 feet in length,

13 feet tall at the hips, and 7 tons in weight.

Check out the babeasaurus.

You know, I bet she really likes football players.

Come on. Really?

Yeah.

Ugh. Oh, yeah.

All I'm saying is

if you can save my marriage, you can save anybody's.

Finish your book.

I know. I should.

I-I just can't seem to get the structure.

Let me help.

Chapter one -- Darcy gets married, and he is not perfect.

Chapter two --

Annie shows Darcy that she's not exactly perfect, either.

By the way, that was pure genius on your part.

Chapter three --

Darcy and husband work on their problems,

truly fall deeply in love,

and have a beautiful child together.

That last chapter title's a little long, isn't it?

So my book's gonna be all about your marriage?

Not all of it.

I'm just saying some of your clients would be embarrassed

to reveal details of their lives.

I'm not that person.

I reveal everything. [ Chuckles ]

I think it could get both of us a lot of attention.

Could be a potential donor for my food-bank program.

Wish me luck. I'm off to pan for gold.

Okay, wait. Give me the pictures.

Oh. It's how you got me here.

[ Gasps ] Mwah!

Oh.

Oh.

[ Roar ]

We can't go in there.

Oh, relax.

We're just acquisitive young minds.

Okay, it's "inquisitive,"

and you don't have a mind like that.

Okay. Huh.

[ Thunder rumbles ]

[ Clears throat ]

Kenny, get out of there. Dad will kill you.

[ Roar ]

[ Screams, chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ]

[ Roar ]

Geez!

That egg could feed the whole football team.

Hey, you break it,

you not only have to buy it. You have to eat it.

Now, get out of there.

How's it, uh, going up there, dad?

Get out. Sorry.

[ Jazz music continues ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Are you hiding from t. Rex?

If I were still a kid,

I could definitely see a nightmare coming.

Can you see that woman across the room

wearing the red dress?

She's beautiful. Inside and out.

I'm a lucky man, and I knew it from the moment I saw her.

Not many men could say that.

That's true.

If you don't mind,

tell me the second she looks this way.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

And I'm covering for you because...?

Well, I promised her

I wouldn't take this out the entire evening.

I'm faithful in the big things, but...

This is business.

And you've never used your cellphone as an excuse

to avoid talking to her?

No.

Never. Absolutely not.

Okay.

Well, let's use technology

as a way to enhance your relationship with your wife.

Text her right now and tell her

she's the most beautiful woman in the room.

Are you kidding?

Trust me on this.

Type.

"You're the most beautiful... woman...

in the room."

[ Cellphone beeps ]

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Did you ever think of doing this for a living?

I already do.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

Excuse me. Excuse me.

University of Colorado, right?

I'm Mark.

Crane. Yeah.

You're Annie Morgan, right?

The Annie Morgan.

"The"?

You tutored me, remember?

You were a freshman. I was a senior.

Right. [ Chuckles ]

You needed a lot of help.

Just a dumb jock trying to keep his GPA up

to stay eligible to play.

[ Chuckles ] That's me.

Hi, sweetie. [ Chuckles ]

You're so sweet. Who told you to do that?

Ah, that's my secret. [ Chuckles ]

Are you here alone?

Yeah -- I mean no.

Uh -- oh, hey, uh, guys!

Come here. I want you to meet somebody.

Old friend. Kenny: Hi.

Annie Morgan. Hi.

This is Kenny and Zoe, my children.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

Annie Morgan. We went through college together. She tutored me.

Very cool.

May I get a photo of your lovely family?

Oh. Oh, yeah, sure.

Maybe right up against the bones.

No, I'll -- oh, I-I --

go ahead. Go. Come on. [ Chuckles ]

There she is.

That's the young woman I was telling you about.

[ Camera shutter clicks ] Sophia: What a beautiful family.

Yeah. She obviously knows what she's talking about.

Do you think she could help?

Well...

[ Camera shutter clicks ] Thank you.

Excellent. Thank you.

Thanks.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be in the way.

Oh, come on.

Bye.

Bye -- oh. Nice meeting you.

Bye.

Hey. Hey, hey. Don't go far, 'cause we're leaving soon. Okay?

Well, I better, um... You know.

It was great seeing you.

Yeah. It was... It's great to see you, too.

Hey, you know...

You haven't changed a bit.

I mean, you -- you --

I mean, in fact, I would say you look better.

I-if that's possible.

Thank you.

You cold?

I...Could be. Yes.

Yes. Definitely. Come on.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you.

Where's you're husband? I'd love to meet him.

Oh, I-I'm not...married.

Oh.

Uh, so, what do you -- what are you doing now?

Ironically, I'm a marriage and family counselor

here in Denver.

I know -- single marriage counselor.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah.

Is your wife here? 'Cause I'm running a special.

Oh. No, I'm not married.

Uh, my wife passed away about three years ago.

Oh. I'm sorry.

Well, thanks.

It's, uh, been an adjustment, but, uh...

I mean, it's been roughest on my little one, really.

I mean, it's been rough on all of us, actually.

But, uh... Well...

Anyway, I should -- I got to go round them up.

We, uh, got to get going.

Yeah.

It was great to see you.

You too.

Hey.

I struck out again.

Whose coat?

Oh! Mark's coat.

I better go find him.

Return it to him tomorrow. I want to go home.

[ Dialing ]

[ Ringing ]

Mark: Hi, this is Mark. You've reached my cell.

You know what to do.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Squawking ]

[ Ringing continues ]

Hello?

Uh, yes. Is this Annie Morgan?

Uh, yes.

Last night at the museum,

I showed you the most beautiful woman in the world.

Oh, the guy with the cellphone issues.

I was so impressed

that I decided to interview you.

To interview me?

I'm looking for a new host for a radio show.

Denver might need what you have to offer.

Great.

And...you're gonna make that happen?

Run a search on Alexander J. Bishop.

I take it from the silence on your end

that you're looking at my mug shot.

I -- yeah, I-I didn't --

I-I mean, I thought that...

This is for a real interview?

For a show?

Absolutely.

Well, why don't we meet for lunch or dinner

to talk about this?

Better idea -- you hop on a plane

and come out here and spend the weekend

with me and my family at my ranch in New Mexico.

I'll see you tomorrow.

We'll be in touch.

[ Scoffs ]

Duke, let's hunt.

[ Squawking ]

As long as I'm here,

Jack has a place to be while you're at work.

And you pay what you can afford when you can afford it, okay?

Good. Get to work.

Don't worry.

Thank you very much, Mr. Crane.

Hey.

Yeah, you probably didn't lose any sleep over this.

I've been so busy, I completely forgot it.

Thank you.

I j-- I just heard you with that mom.

You're a good guy.

Well, I'm only a good guy for another three weeks

until the city shuts us down.

Why?

Lost funding for the after-school program.

Federal cutbacks.

That's what I was doing at the museum last night --

hat in my hand,

looking for an angel with deep pockets.

I think I may have talked to my angel this morning.

Oh, really? What happened?

I met this man at the museum,

helped him out of a tough spot with his wife, and --

[ cellphone rings ]

Go ahead.

Hello?

Annie, hi. This is Jake Bishop,

vice president at Bishop Communications.

I hear you got the early call from my dad this morning.

Oh, yeah, right.

Listen, I'm calling to confirm this weekend

and to get your contact information

before messengering over those plane tickets.

Oh, it's just me, one is fine.

It doesn't work that way with my dad, Annie.

When he's considering hiring someone,

he's hiring their entire family.

My entire what?

Well, your husband, Mark, and the two kids.

Your family made a big impression on my dad and mom, Annie.

You should know that. Family's big in our business.

[ Scoffs ]

Can I call you right back?

I'll be waiting. [ Cellphone beeps ]

[ Cellphone beeps ]

Everything okay?

Jake Bishop?

Hey, I spoke to him last night, he and his father.

I was trying to get them to help with my funding.

Mr. Bishop is thinking of putting me

on one of his radio stations.

Wow. That's good, huh?

But he thinks I'm married.

To you.

[ Chuckles ]

Why would he think that?

Well, he must have seen us together...

with your children?

The picture.

So, call him back now. Straighten it out.

Right.

Always best to do it right away. Just...

[ Cellphone beeps ]

I...

I just think there's something bigger going on here.

I mean...

I want to save marriages, and you want to save children.

So?

So...

Wouldn't you like another shot

at pitching your program to Mr. Bishop?

Yeah.

And I'd really like that new job

so I can reach out to families who can't afford therapy.

But you're not married.

But I could be.

We could be...

to each other.

For the weekend?

Kenny: So, why are we coming here

to tell some rich guy who thinks you two are married

that you're not?

Why don't you just call this Bishop guy

and tell him the truth?

Because Annie can't get the job unless she has face time

with this guy and his family.

And your dad gets another shot

at pitching the after-school program.

You'll probably make a ton of money having your own show.

It's not about the money. It's a career choice.

[ Scoffs ]

Have you figured out how you're gonna pull this off yet?

'Cause I'd kind of like to go home.

Annie: We'll find a moment alone with Mr. Bishop,

explain the misunderstanding...

Mark: And by the time our heads hit the pillow tonight,

this will all be behind us.

I want to move on KEQA in Portland.

It's underutilized.

I thought we'd been through this.

I don't think this is a good move.

For you or for me, dad?

The company can't afford the stress

of a new acquisition.

Credit's tight. You know that.

[ Horn honks ]

[ Vehicle approaches ]

There they are.

Whoa! Whoa!

[ Chuckles ]

I'd be careful when I give this guy the bad news.

For once, I agree with my brother.

All right, okay. Come on, you guys. Let's go.

[ Vehicle doors opening ]

Howdy.

Bish: Welcome.

I'm so glad you could come.

And if this is your first time to this part of New Mexico,

you're in for a treat.

Mr. Bishop.

Oh, please, call me "Bish."

Uh, these are, um, our children,

uh, Kenny and Zoe.

Nice to meet you. Hi.

Hi, Kenny, Zoe.

Jake, you remember Mark.

Yes, I do. It's good to see you again.

And this is Annie Morgan,

who has solid broadcast potential.

Wow. [ Chuckles ] I don't know what to say.

[ Laughs ]

That's not good for someone

who might be hosting a radio show.

[ Laughter ] Right.

Well, maybe you and I could have a few minutes to talk now?

Privately?

We got a whole weekend to talk.

Don't worry about your luggage.

I'll send somebody for it, okay?

Come on. I'll show you inside.

I want you to meet my daughter Eliza.

Zoe: I saw the panels as we were driving in.

You have solar out here?

Absolutely.

New Mexico is perfect for it.

325 days of sunshine.

I did a paper on solar energy for my science class.

I'll tell you what, Zoe.

Everything I do out here is about preserving the land.

See those barrels over there? Yeah.

We collect rainwater and filter it.

And we do a lot of little things,

like wash our clothes in cold water.

And we use rechargeable batteries.

We don't waste anything.

You take care of the land, the land takes care of you.

Now, come on. Let's scoot inside.

Please, come in.

Sophia! We got company!

Ah, there she is.

The girl who stole my heart and still does.

Ah, this is Annie and Mark.

Mark, how are you?

Pleasure. What a beautiful home you have.

Thank you so much. Hello, Annie. Hi.

[ Both chuckle ]

Hi. Thank you so much for having us.

Oh, the pleasure's all mine.

And this is Lucia, our daughter-in-law.

Emphasis on the daughter part.

Lucia: You've been the talk of the house all morning,

and nobody even knows who you are.

And we're gonna change all that.

These must be your lovely children.

Oh! Yes. This is Kenny and Zoe.

Hi. Hello.

I love having kids on the ranch.

Keeps me young.

[ Laughter ]

Bish is the youngest guy I know.

Good luck keeping up with him.

Hey, why don't you kids track down my granddaughter Eliza?

This place is out of control!

This is amazing.

[ Horses whinnying ] This guy Bishop must be really loaded.

I hear horses.

Whoa. The door's unlocked. Come on. Let's go.

Don't push me.

[ Horse whinnies ]

She's out of your league.

[ Horse whinnying ]

That's impossible.

Okay, what are we gonna do?

Because we can't sleep in here together.

We have to. I'll sleep on the floor.

Don't worry. I don't snore.

Don't you have any... regular old socks?

My mother bought these socks for me

and these underwear.

Your mother still buys

your socks and underwear for you?

Oh, this is a bad sign.

Why is that a bad sign?

Well, it's a bad sign because it means

you can't make basic, personal decisions,

like how come you didn't stop me from doing this?

Because this guy Bishop

can single-handedly save my kid's program

and give you an entirely new career opportunity.

And if that's selfish, then shoot me.

[ Sighs ] Mark!

These are decent people, and we're deceiving them.

And what kind of signal is this sending your children?

Don't you mean our children?

At least until we tell them the truth.

Okay, let's talk about where you're sleeping again.

Hi.

Hey. You're, uh...

You're really good.

Thanks.

Oh.

Did you want to go for a ride?

We can take him back out. He's really gentle.

Um, that's okay, maybe later.

Are you into sports like your dad?

Yeah.

Football, basketball, baseball.

I don't know. I ju-- I like being on a team.

How about you?

Volleyball.

It gets me out of the house

and away from everything that's going on.

Yeah.

My name's Eliza.

[ Whinnies ]

And this is Trey.

[ Both chuckle ]

Uh, Kenny.

I have to rub him down. Did you want to give me a hand?

Uh, yeah. Yeah.

Okay, come on.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

Well?

I just met the girl of my dreams.

You say that after every girl you meet.

This girl is different.

You say that, too.

Ah, she's just --

wow. I...

You're so articulate when you fall in love.

Well, she's almost as cute as my sister.

Mark: All right, guys, listen up.

Annie and I have discussed it, and Annie feels

it's best if we tell the truth sooner than later.

Annie: I just can't put this off.

Your dad and I are gonna tell Mr. Bishop everything,

and then we can all just go home.

No, no. You know, wait.

I-I'm against this whole telling-the-truth thing right now.

What are you talking about?

You wanted to leave before we even got here.

Dad?

When was the last time you got to commune with nature?

Huh? You know, forget nature.

The -- the universe!

The whole universe is right here!

I mean, think of the stars at night, huh?

Breathing this fresh air.

You know, meeting the locals.

What's going on? It's a girl.

[ Knock on door ] Eliza: Lunchtime, everybody!

I'm sorry.

I just can't live with myself if I don't say something.

I hope everyone is hungry. I love to cook.

Bish: Which is why I have to run five miles a day

to stay even.

Annie: You run five miles a day?

Or more. You a runner?

Yeah. I run.

If you think you can keep up, we'll have go out sometime.

Oh, don't worry. I won't have any problem keeping up.

[ Laughs ]

You're a competitor. I like that.

That's -- that's one of the reasons you're here.

My guess --

if you counsel a couple and things don't work out,

you take that as a personal failure.

I don't like to lose.

And I don't like to see couples lose

or their children.

My parents gave up on their marriage,

so, for me, keeping families together is personal.

We're on the same page.

Before this goes any further,

there's something you should know.

[ Clears throat ]

[ Coughs ] Um...

Me and my sister would love to make a toast,

uh, to our, um, parents, right, Zo?

Um... [ Chuckles ]

What you guys do, uh, for others...

Is...is just...

Awesome. Thank you.

Easy.

[ All chuckling ]

To have your kids look up to you.

That's what it's all about, isn't it?

To a memorable weekend.

Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.

[ Glasses clinking ]

Mark: Honestly, I don't know what you guys were thinking.

Dad, we did it for you. Okay?

I mean, we know how much the program means to you.

I know you meant well, but -- I mean...

This just really complicates everything now.

Sorry. Yeah, we're sorry.

Annie: Well, your dad's right,

the longer we wait to tell the truth,

the worse it'll be for all of us.

Aim slightly off center to get a good break.

Sweet. [ Chuckles ]

[ Gunshots ]

He knows! Are you kidding me?!

What?! He's gonna shoot us?!

Bish: Move it!

[ Gunshot ] Let's go! Let's go!

Mark: What do we do now?

Annie: Well, you're the ex-football player.

Save us!

Oh, great.

Dad didn't tell you, did he?

Annie: No. Tell us what?

Where is everybody?

Nobody stays at the Bishop ranch for free.

When you come here, you work,

and today we're mending fences.

[ Sighs ] I thought we were gonna die.

All right, so, jeans, boots. Dress warm, you guys.

We got some snow in the high country last night.

All right? Everything's in your rooms.

Meet outside in 10.

Let's go! Let's go! Come on!

[ Gunshots ]

[ Sighs ]

We could have built the Great Wall of China by now.

Zoe: What's my horse's name?

Dollor.

After John Wayne's horse in "True Grit."

Where is that wife of yours?

Hey, you know women, Bish.

[ Sighs ]

Get rid of those shoes. This is the wild west.

You look ridiculous.

Sorry, but the boots didn't fit.

Bish! You'll spook the horses.

Ignore General Custer. You look darling.

Come on, mount up! We're headed for the high country!

Here you go. Oh.

Oh, brother. Horses aren't my thing.

I took one for the team this morning

by getting on that plane.

I don't like flying. It's your turn.

Really? You didn't tell me on the flight.

'Cause I was talking myself out of a panic attack.

If you're not comfortable on the horse,

why don't you get in the ATV with Sophia?

Thank you.

Are we finally ready?!

Now, we don't come back until all the fences are fixed

and the cows come home.

Wait. That's it? All this for cows?

Geez, I thought the world was coming to an end...

[Chuckling] ...Or something. Son?

If you're a cow out in the cold, lost,

no food for days, and coyotes circling you,

waiting to rip your guts out and kill you,

that is the end of the world. Ugh.

Come on, boy. Let's go.

[ Horse whinnies ]

Eliza: Come on.

Oh, it's so beautiful. Do you live here year-round?

Oh, no. I couldn't take it. Too isolated for me.

The ranch has been in Bish's family

for about 100 years.

Truthfully,

I think Bish should have been born 100 years ago.

[ Both chuckle ]

But then he wouldn't have met you.

So, tell me what it was like

the very first time you saw Mark.

Oh.

Well... University of Colorado.

I was a freshman on scholarship.

As part of my work-study, I had to tutor athletes.

Mm-hmm.

He was one of those jock types

that had great instincts on the football field,

but couldn't pass math if his life depended on it.

He had this great smile and charm about him.

You know, he was a senior.

He was a star, but he was humble.

He didn't act like it.

Yeah, every girl in school wanted to get him.

Oh, but you were the lucky one.

So, tell me, where'd you get married?

Married?

We...Were poor.

Oh. Mm-hmm.

We eloped. Just...took off.

Two college kids in a van.

And having no idea what we were doing

or -- or where we were going.

You know, I think I'm -- I'm ready to try riding again.

Oh. Bish!

Annie's ready to cowboy up!

That's great! Just as soon as we fix this fence!

[ Chuckles ]

Here you go, Annie.

[ Sighs ]

Gonna ride her, huh, cowgirl?

I just told Sophia we eloped.

Oh, good one.

I know. I'm sorry.

We're in this even deeper. We have to tell them.

I... Let's think about it.

Hold it straight, Lucia.

[ Grunting ]

Mark: Thank you.

Oh, sweet.

[ Horse whinnies ]

Jake still has it in his head

to run a station of his own.

Dad, he should.

He has creative ideas, and he wants to try them out.

Why can't he be creative in Denver?

And -- and what's so awful about working with his father

and eventually taking over the company?

Truth?

Always.

[ Sighs ]

Sometimes the entrepreneur in you

gets mixed up with the dad part.

Here.

[ Horse whinnies ]

Hold this, will you?

[ Horse whinnies ]

So, how many acres do you have?

About 25,000.

My great-grandfather left everyone he knew in Virginia

and came here and fought for this land.

It's been in our family ever since.

Who'd he have to fight?

[ Chuckles ]

Whoever got in his way.

[ Cows mooing ]

[ Horses whinnying ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Jake: Hello?

All right.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

Sometimes I wish the stupid cellphone towers would just explode.

Why would you want that?

So my parents would actually talk to each other.

[ Sighs ]

So, uh, what do you do here?

You ride, camp, hike.

I can't wait to show you grandpa's swimming pool.

There's not a mall anywhere.

[ Chuckles ]

Out here...

I have everything that I need.

So, where did you and Jake meet?

Museum of Natural History in New York.

Jake was getting his MBA at Columbia.

I think I saw him a half-dozen times

before he got up the nerve to talk to me.

Shy?

Selfless. I liked that.

He had big ideas, dreams for the future.

But, um...

Sometimes he isn't ambitious enough for his own good.

Excuse me.

[ Cows mooing ]

Okay, Zoe. I'll hold it.

You nail that side.

Hit it hard.

There! [ Grunting ]

Ha ha! There you go! All right!

[ Chuckles ]

Give me that. You're taking forever.

I talked to my dad, okay?

I told him I wanted to take over the Portland station.

You've been telling him that for the last year,

and he tells you the same thing -- no.

Did you tell him

you are going to take over the Portland station

with or without his help?

Give me the hammer. Here.

[ Laughs ] Give me a hammer.

Dad's acting weird.

Yeah?

[ Sighs ]

Looks like he really likes her.

[ Laughter ]

[ Sighs ]

All right. Here you go.

Sophia: Hot chocolate, kids?

Oh! Yeah, thank you.

Hi.

Would I look absolutely ridiculous

if I went a little pink?

You'd do that? [ Laughing ] Oh, sure.

I love to shake things up with Bish.

He loves surprises. I'm in.

I'll help you.

[ Sighs ] I'm exhausted.

Yeah, me too. Harder than it looks, huh?

Yeah.

Uh, Mr. Bishop, can we, uh, take a break?

You play football?

Yes, sir. Let's go!

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Touchdown!

Don't give me a break, okay? I can handle it.

Ohh!

What's the matter? Can't take a hit?

Easy, tiger.

Good hit, mom!

I like what I'm seein'. Take down the old guy.

[ Laughter ]

Hey, can we, like, race back to the ranch?

Okay. [ Sighs ]

Hey, where they going?

I gotta talk to Zoe. She can't fit in this way.

[ Sighs ] I'd give her some time.

Eliza has some fun in store, I'm sure.

Zoe needs that.

Yeah, but she just reacts so emotionally sometimes, you know?

Well, I don't blame her.

I mean, she's having a difficult...

time.

Look, Mark...

you've got to love her and be patient.

Patience is everything.

You know, she's 13. She's going through changes.

She's on a roller coaster. She lost her mother.

It's important that you see things from her point of view.

I know. You're right.

I read the books on how to be a better father.

I'm talking to other dads. It's just...

Everything okay?

Yeah, I was just talking to Annie, changing my shirt.

We need to talk.

Right after I leave Annie in the dust.

You know how to shoot a gun?

So...think you can handle the pressure

of your own radio show? No problem.

Good. 'Cause you belong on the radio.

But it's like being an athlete.

You get tested every day,

and some people fold like a house of cards.

You don't like losing, do you?

[ Laughs ]

I hate losing. Why do you think I'm successful?

Not because I'm the smartest guy in the world,

but because I'm the guy who never gives up.

I know the feeling.

So, what was your sport in college?

Cross country.

Cross country. Ooh!

Eliza: Here it is.

What is it?

Abandoned dwellings of ancient civilizations.

Really? Can we go there?

It's spooky... especially in the dark.

Well, I don't scare easy.

[ Chuckles ] That is so not true.

Every time there's a thunderstorm,

he wants to sleep on the floor in my room.

I don't know where she gets it from.

And scary movies?

Oh. You're afraid of scary movies?

[ Sighs ] Okay. Let's go.

It's gonna get dark. Stay close.

Mark: Pull!

Nice shot.

Thanks.

Went hunting a lot as a kid with my dad.

Pull, pull.

[ Gunshots ]

Impressive.

[ Chuckles ] No.

Practice.

So, how did you first meet Annie?

I met her in college.

She, uh, worked in the tutoring lab,

and I happened to be walking by one day,

and she was standing in the window.

She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen.

So, I went in and found out she was a math tutor,

so I got her to teach me math...

Even though math was my best subject.

[ Laughs ] And...?

Well, the rest is history, I guess.

Pull.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Excuse me.

Bishop.

What?!

[ Sighs ]

We fixed fences all afternoon.

Where? [ Sighs ]

Okay, Danny, I'm on it. I'm on it.

Problem?

We're gonna have to wrap this up.

More down fences --

this time on the north side.

Cows all over my neighbor's property.

He's a rock-'n'-roll rancher. You know, all hat and no horse.

[ Sighs ]

Annie: Lucy and Bishop seem to get along very well.

Oh. Lucy can't understand why Jake seems satisfied

to live in the shadow of his father.

Even though he loves his father.

That's true.

Did, uh, you and Mark ever have a hard time?

Oh, yeah.

Of course. Everybody does.

Oh, his mother.

Oh. The mother-in-law.

It drove me crazy that she bought his underwear.

She bought his underwear?

Yeah. Still does.

Here you go.

Oh! Thank you so much.

My pleasure.

I don't think I've ever seen a couple

look at each other the way you and Mark do.

It's like you just met.

Well, I think that's the key. Keeping the marriage fresh.

What's interesting about you and Mark is

that even though you act like newlyweds,

neither one of you wears a wedding ring.

Hi, honey!

Hi, sweetheart!

Mark: Hey. I missed you!

Excuse me. Sure. You too.

I can't take it anymore.

Lucy pointed out we're not wearing wedding rings.

Who doesn't wear wedding rings? Lots of people.

But I'm a marriage counselor.

I know how lies erode relationships.

The game's over. I can't stand it.

I can't live with myself anymore.

Bish: Mark!

I'm telling him now. No, no, no.

Wait. Listen to me.

He wants to talk to me about my program.

Just let me have the talk.

Okay? The kids need it. Please? We've come this far.

Okay.

But do it now. Don't put it off.

Promise.

Annie!

Want to ride along with us?

Oh. No, thanks,

I'm gonna help Sophia in the kitchen.

Oh.

[ Horse whinnies ]

We riding a horse?

[ Chuckles ]

Son, we're talking about 425 horses.

Bish: Let's go! Let's go!

Come on!

Hey, let's -- let's take the horses!

It's too far! This will be fun!

I'll show you a few tricks I've learned,

and then we can talk about your funding.

You really know how to fly this, right?

[ Laughs ]

800 combat missions over Nam.

I been shot at, shot down,

and survived death at every turn.

Now, get in.

And buckle up.

You never know what could happen.

But if something goes wrong up there...

At least we'll go out in style!

Got your insurance paid up? [ Laughing ]

[ Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" plays ]

Listen, Mr. Bishop...

Whoo-hoo! [ Laughs ]

I-I'm not comfortable up here. I want to go back.

Watch this. Watch this.

Whoo-hoo! [ Laughing ]

[ Groans ] Don't do that again.

No, no. Watch this. Whoo-hoo!

What's Bishop doing up there?

He's such a little kid. He's just showing off.

Bish: Watch this. Watch this.

Gonna stall out.

Mark: You can't stall helicopters, sir!

Stop this now, please!

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo!

All right. Okay. Listen. Listen.

This isn't fun, all right? Stop.

Seriously. Whee!

Seriously, sir. Take me back now.

I'm not laughing.

I thought you used to play pro football.

This looks really bad for the NFL

to have an ex-football player panic up in the skies.

[ Laughs ]

Son, you need to learn to cowboy up.

I got to round up those cows.

Sorry, Bish.

Mark! Mark!

Annie, I tried to tell him. I swear to you I did.

I-I know. I-I know.

The man's crazy.

You know, the whole time up there,

I'm thinking I'm gonna die in the middle of this lie,

and I'm gonna leave you to clean up the mess.

He did a loop-the-loop.

Really? A-a loop-the-loop?

A loop-the-loop. In a helicopter!

Well...

That actually sounds kind of fun.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Scoffs ]

[ Sighs ]

Look, I got to tell you something.

That night after the party, when I got home...

I tried to call you at midnight.

It went right to the answering machine,

so I kind of figured you must be...

No, no.

At midnight I was calling you.

No, you weren't. Really?

Yeah.

I just... I was thinking I, uh --

that I really wanted to see you again.

Oh, I don't feel so good.

Oh.

It's okay. I'm -- I'm here with you now.

[ Wolf howls ]

Uh, this place is so creepy.

No, it's not!

[ Wings flutter ] What was that?

[ Chuckles ]

It's like this every time I come up here.

You're being tested.

Tested?

To see if you're afraid.

Who lived here?

Anasazis. Native Americans.

They moved to the valley over a thousand years ago.

Some of the cliff dwellings even have over 200 rooms.

[ Exhales sharply ]

This is a whole civilization.

Just think -- an entire city.

So what happened to 'em?

They disappeared.

Nobody really knows why.

I mean, climate change, war.

Maybe it's -- maybe it's time to get out of here, huh?

No. I-I like it here. I can relate to all this.

This is one of the coolest places on the planet.

You are so lucky.

[ Animal howls ]

Shh, shh, shh, shh!

Some say that a few Anasazis still, you know,

roam these parts, protecting their land.

[ Wind whistling ]

Um, let's -- let's go.

No! Come on.

Come on, let's go.

There's nothing here but a bunch of old rocks.

Stop! No! It's cool! Come on! Zoe, let's go!

Ay-yi-yi-yi! Aah! Ow!

[ Both laugh ]

Come on, let's go.

Oh, no. Come on.

Bats! Bats! Bats! Aah!

[ Indistinct shouting ]

[ Knock on door ]

[ Indistinct conversation ]

[ Chuckles ]

Why would a married man change his shirt in the hallway

while his wife was putting her sneakers on in the bedroom?

[ Sighs ]

Neither one of them wears a wedding ring.

It's curious.

How's your stomach?

It's getting better. Thanks.

So, how did you and Danielle meet?

We met in a laundromat

after you had transferred to UCLA.

How'd you know I left?

I asked the guy who ran the tutor lab.

I said, "where is she?"

So, why did you leave?

Uh, my parents were going through a messy divorce.

I needed to be with them.

Must have been tough.

Yeah, well, it must have been tougher for you.

How did Danielle...

Kenny and I were at a basketball game.

Zoe was at home with her mom when she collapsed.

Zoe called 911.

But by the time the paramedics got there, she had passed.

And Zoe was all alone.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

Hey, how was it? Kenny: Oh, it was amazing.

Hey, honey. Zoe: Not now.

I might take up archaeology in college.

Zoe, come sit. Tell us about it.

Maybe later. I have videos of Kenny for Facebook.

You wouldn't.

You don't even have any friends on Facebook!

Leave me alone! What's everyone's problem?!

[ Sighs ]

[ Snorts ]

[ Horse whinnies ]

Hey there, Jack Frost.

You look lonely.

I think most people think

that animals can't get their feelings hurt,

but I think they're wrong.

Hey.

Got a little company, huh?

Got a second for me?

[ Horse whinnies ]

Sweetheart, I want you to understand...

I like spending time with Annie.

She's a lot of fun.

But nothing, nothing, is gonna happen.

Dad, I'm not stupid. It's already happened.

What are you talking about.

The way you look at her.

How do I look at her?

Like Kenny looks at Eliza.

That's bad.

[ Horse whinnies ]

[ Sighs ]

Do you even think about mom?

Every day. Every hour.

Honey, nobody is gonna replace your mom.

Nobody could.

Dad, what are we gonna do?

[ Sighs ]

Kenny: Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Yea-a-a-h!

Whoo-hoo!

Hey, watch out below!

Zoe: I got it!

You know, I've looked at your business plan

for your program, and I have one question --

why don't you give yourself a bigger salary?

Well, Mr. Bishop, I want as much money as I can get

to go into the program for the kids.

Here!

Well, I tell you, I'm -- I'm thinking seriously

about funding your program.

And now I need to talk to Annie.

That should be easy for you.

Hey, guys -- be safe, all right?

I'll be back in a while.

Okay! Yeah! Later!

Aah! Aah!

[ Grunting ]

You guys really get along, don't you?

He adores me.

And your mom and dad get along so...

Such a great family.

Yeah, well, your parents are pretty cool, too.

Thanks.

Can I ask you a favor?

Yeah, of course.

Your mom being a marriage counselor and all...

You think you could ask her to talk to my parents?

Sure. Yeah.

No, yeah, she'd, uh -- she'd do that.

Okay.

Come on. Let's go get changed.

What do you think you're doing?

You know, I'm helping Eliza.

Let her parents find their own marriage counselor.

What's wrong with you?

You know, you're so selfish.

It's not always about you, Zo.

Annie, I thought you might be interested in this.

Wh...It's a town.

I mean, you've got a whole town,

and not any town but a real western town.

You know where I met Sophia? At the movies.

We both went to see

"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid."

Alone.

I had never seen such a beautiful woman.

I asked her out and... [ Chuckles ]

...Discovered we shared all kinds of things in common.

And we loved western movies.

Robert Redford was her hero.

Me, well, I'm a Paul Newman guy.

Between the two of us,

we watched every western we could lay our hands on.

We just love cowboy movies.

[ Chuckles ] Okay.

But...This?

Well, it's not about the town.

It's about Sophia and how I feel about her.

Annie, I... I just didn't want to forget

the moment I saw her.

There's nothing like it,

knowing you're looking at the person

you want to spend the rest of your life with.

Well...

for our 30th, I put all this together.

And now every time I walk into my little town with my wife,

I get to re-live that moment.

I think you should be the marriage counselor.

[ Laughs ]

Look, I'm sure it was the same with you and Mark, right?

[ Bell ringing ]

Mark: What's he want now?

That bell rings every five minutes.

I think he knows. Let's find out.

Bish: Kenny and Zoe, you kids come over here.

Yes, sir.

And you two are in for a big surprise.

When Bish and I learned that you two had eloped...

I said, "we've got to fix that." Mark: Fix it?

What do you mean?

I mean we're fixing it cowboy style.

In the early 1800s, the West was a new frontier.

And when a couple arrived in New Mexico,

the land became their life.

And out of that came a tradition

of couples renewing their vows.

Oh, uh, Mr. Bishop,

we don't like to draw attention to ourselves.

Annie's right, uh, Mr. Bishop.

We, uh, kind of cherish the memory of our elopement.

Hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I mean, if it's just symbolic...

Hands together.

And you look at each other.

[ Horse whinnies ]

And the vow goes like this --

you will feel no cold,

for each of you will be warmth to the other.

There is no more loneliness,

for each of you will be companion to the other.

So, now what?

Gunfire?

[ Laughs ] You got to be kidding.

You kiss each other.

Now that is a kiss!

[ Applause ] Whoo!

Here you go. Have you guys seen Zoe?

Mnh-mnh. Mnh-mnh.

Okay. Thanks.

Annie, let me do that.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah.

So, Jake, Lucy told me one of the things

she loved about you most is your lack of ego.

She said you never talk about yourself.

It's all about her.

So, tell me more.

Uh, well,

I didn't know if I had what it took

to make it in the business world.

And I had some pretty big shoes to fill.

And then I met Lucy, and, uh...

Well, she told me to make this list

of all the things that I was good at.

And she said over and over again that I could do anything.

And she kept telling me that she believed in me.

I still believe in you.

So, Jake, what was it about Lucy

that made you want to spend the rest of your life with her?

[ Chuckles ]

She told me I would make a great father.

Mm.

Mark: Zoe?!

Have you seen Zoe? No.

Yeah, she's not upstairs.

No luck out back. Let's check the barns.

Zoe?!

Kenny: Zo! Zoe!

Zoe! Zo!

Zoe!

Oh, no. The little ATV's missing.

Eliza, you take Kenny.

Got it. Mark, come with me.

Come on. She's out there alone. It's not safe.

Annie, why don't you wait here

and let us know if she comes back.

It's getting dark! You need to hurry!

You guys check out by the tree line.

Zoe!

Kenny: Zoe!

Zoe!

Zoe!

[ Sobbing ]

[ Heart beating ]

[ Animal howling ]

Zoe!

Zoe!

[ Shivering ]

Zoe!

This is not funny!

Zoe!

Zoe! Zo!

Oh, Zoe.

Zoe, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

What happened to you? Why did you leave?

I just had to get away, okay?

I think I hurt my wrist.

Oh, yeah, it looks swollen.

Okay, don't move it.

It'll be okay. They'll find us.

Thanks.

Kenny: Zoe, where are you?!

Zoe, come on!

That's a beautiful brush.

Thanks. It was my mom's.

You must miss her so much.

It's a terrible thing to lose your mother.

Do you still talk about her?

Sometimes I talk about her, sometimes I don't.

Well, I hope you feel comfortable talking about her

to your dad and your friends.

You know, you don't have to manage this all by yourself.

Most of my friends feel uncomfortable

when I bring up my mom.

They probably just don't know what to say or how to help.

You know, it might make it easier

if -- if you talk about

all the happy memories you have with your mom.

Tell me, what's one quality you remember the most about her?

Oh, that's easy. Her laugh.

She was always laughing.

She said "Zoe, always try and find the joy around you."

Her and my dad were always laughing about something.

Hey, what is it?

[ Sobbing ]

[ Voice breaking ] That's why it's so hard with you being around...

Because my dad laughs with you like he did with my mom.

There's no pain like losing someone you love.

It takes a lot of courage

to allow yourself to be happy again.

And it's even harder to let yourself love again.

Does that make sense?

Sort of.

When my mom died, I was holding her hand.

She told me she wanted me to be happy...

and Kenny... and my dad.

And you just never thought that your dad being happy

might mean he'd find someone else.

Yeah.

I feel bad because I want my dad to be happy.

[ Sobbing ]

[ Vehicle approaches ]

Mark: Don't worry, honey.

It's just a strain. It will be better before you know it.

Zoe, I-I-I know what you're trying to do,

and it's wrong -- it's -- it's all wrong.

I'm sorry.

But the truth is, Mark and I have been lying to you.

We're not...married.

You're not married? You're kidding?

No, Mark and I hadn't seen each other since college

until last week.

We've tried to tell you several times, uh...

But I wanted the business opportunity.

I was trying to save my youth program.

I-it was so wrong of us.

I've set a terrible example for my children.

[ Sighs ]

You both lied.

There's a code I live by

that was not honored this weekend.

You will not be a part of my programming...

and you will not receive funding from me.

[ Sighs ]

Truth...is everything.

[ Annie sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

[ Chuckles ]

Sorry to complicate your weekend.

Yeah, well, you never really know

what life's gonna throw at you, do you?

No. No, you don't.

I needed a weekend like this. Something to push me.

I needed Annie.

[ Wood splits ]

You know, your favorite expression is "cowboy up."

That's all I'm doing, dad.

I'm getting on the bull and taking a chance,

just trying to hold on for eight seconds.

I just want to be like you.

Son...

Yeah?

Ready?

Ready.

What do you think?

Awesome, isn't it? [ Laughs ]

Yeah, I think that I am gonna have a very good time

the next time I have to go

to one of those old stuffy museum events.

[ Both chuckle ]

Zoe...

You've needed somebody to talk to for a long time.

So, you know what? Don't let her go.

[ Sighs ]

Thanks.

I'm gonna go say goodbye to Jack Frost. Okay.

Oh, don't forget to e-mail me.

You do e-mail? Get out of here.

[ Horse whinnies ]

I think it's okay to move on.

Maybe it's what mom would have wanted.

What do you think?

[ Chuckles ]

Good boy. [ Smooches ]

So...

When do you think you'll be moving to Portland?

I don't know.

Well, if you're still in Denver,

would you come to one of my games?

Count on it.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Horse whinnies ]

Annie.

Annie.

I'm so sorry.

I shouldn't have deceived you or Bishop --

any of you.

I know.

But you can admit your fault.

That's another reason why I like you.

And there was a silver lining in your mistake --

Jake and Lucy.

You know, the corner's been turned.

Oh, I hope so.

[ Bish grunts ]

[ Ax thudding ]

[ Wood splits ]

None of us are too old to change, are we?

Kids, we're sorry we dragged you into all of this.

Mark: Let this be a lesson to you --

always tell the truth.

Even when it's not convenient.

Zoe: It's gonna be a long flight home

we really blew it, didn't we?

Yep, a lot went on this weekend, huh?

Yeah. I mean, it was a pressure situation.

You know?

That happens, you just lose all reason and perspective.

Your emotions get the better of you sometimes.

Yeah, and then you come back down to earth.

Yeah.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

It's amazing -- they're both crazy for each other

but won't admit that they're crazy for each other.

Maybe we ought to get going.

Got a lot -- lot to do this week.

Get the kids home, you know?

Yeah.

Better get a move on and get back at it.

Okay.

No. Wrong.

Chapter 13 -- "marriage counselor

finds the man of her dreams but won't admit it."

You need Mark with you, not me.

It's just an infatuation,

which is a shallow emotion --

something that won't last.

Something I just need to get over.

You're afraid. I'm not af--

Afraid to take your own advice.

The courage to love --

you can sure talk about it, but you don't live it.

You're gutless.

[ Water running ]

Zo, what's up with dad?

[ Sighs ] He's reaching the breaking point.

I'll see you next week -- the usual time.

Remember -- we always talk about

having the courage to trust our convictions,

but we can't forget about the courage it takes to love.

Folks.

Hi.

Bishop. Would you like to come in?

Thank you.

"The courage to love." Where did that come from?

Oh, somebody smarter than me wrote it somewhere.

Well, there are a lot of smart people in the world,

and I'm not always one of them.

At least you're honest.

Not really... Which is why I'm here.

I'm afraid I brought you to New Mexico

under false pretenses, young lady.

[ Sighs ]

I was hoping you could help save my son's marriage.

How are Jake and Lucy?

Getting there.

Look, I-I've decided

you're just not right for the radio.

You made that very clear last week.

I don't blame you --

Let me finish.

You're aren't right. You're perfect.

W-what?

Sophia told me I would be a fool

if I didn't hire you.

And...we both know Sophia is always right.

So I am offering you your own show on KTRD.

[ Laughs ]

But I'm not married.

I'm flexible.

I'll work for you on one condition.

17. Zoe: 7.

Mark: Charlie, get your nose in that rule book again, tonight, okay?

No more fouls. I'll see you next week. 19.

All right, guys. Let's go -- dinner. 20!

[ Strains ] Where we going to dinner?

Where do you think?

Burger Barn! Ew.

I'm going vegan.

Kenny: Annie!

Hi. Hi. Annie.

Hi. Hi.

Whoa.

The play clock is ticking down. Hello.

Been a long time.

6 days, 22 hours, and 48 minutes.

Seems a little longer to me.

Alexander Bishop showed up at my office.

He offered me a job!

He did? Wow.

My own radio show.

That's great.

Congratulations. You deserve it.

And he offered you

the funding for the after-school program. I know.

You know?

Yeah, I just spoke to him.

Well, did he tell you the condition?

No.

We get married.

I'm just kidding! That's not part of the plan!

[ Chuckles ]

That was a game-changer.

Definitely. [ Chuckles ]

Annie: Joe, you play sports?

Joe: I was a linebacker. East High Warriors.

Okay, tough guy. So you took some hits.

Yeah, but I got back up. I could take it.

For the team. For the team, right.

[ Children playing ] Do you have kids? I can hear 'em. How old?

8 and 6.

Joe, whether you know it or not, you've got a team.

And you may take some hits, but you better have the courage

to get up and keep playing.

Because the team you're on now

is a lot more important than the Warriors.

Don't quit.

Was it ever easy, Joe?

No.

But it was worth it, right?

When you gave it your all, I-it was the best, wasn't it?

Yeah. I don't know. I just don't know.

Call back, Joe. Let me know you're in the game.

Until tomorrow, this is Annie Morgan at KTRD, Denver.

Remember -- love takes courage.

We're out.

[ Laughs ] You are a hit!

Good job. You think so?

Oh, I know so. The numbers are already coming in.

[ Gasps ] Hi! Kenny: Hey.

Oh. Good job.

Amazing.

That was awesome! I can't wait to tell my friends!

You were born for this.

Thanks, you guys.

Hey, Annie, that last caller Joe called again.

Said he needs to talk to you.

Annie, he can call back tomorrow.

Uh, no. I want to talk to him.

Will you wait? I'll be just a minute.

Yeah.
