Those new aerowheels look great.

- Thanks!

- The new SF-15s came in.

- Adjusted bindings?- Yeah, per your specs.

- Absolutely.- Have fun.

- Why don't you do it, Alex?

I can't remember the lasttime you did a field test.

Have you ever done a field test?

- Good morning, Ben.

Oh, those are fantastic.

I'm gonna need a newvendor report on those

by Monday, though.- Will do.

- I saw you finally gotthe kinks out of the

Kaza Insta-Cabin.- Yes, we did.

Thank you so much for yourconcern about our new products.

Morning, Phil.- Hey!

- I like to keep up with what'shappening with new vendors.

It's all part ofbeing a good VP.

- But you're not a VP.

- Well, not yet.

- You're a director,just like me.

- But I have plans.

- There still needsto be a job opening.

- You haven't heard.- Heard what?

- Hey Alex!

Ben!

- Hello Roger!

- Lookin' good Roger!

- Hey Alex, I know we'resupposed to meet later,

but grab a helmet and join me.

It'll be fun!

- Oh, I have a 9:30call with Oslo.

We're onboarding anew ski vendor, so.

- That's fantastic news!

- It is fantastic news,especially since I just found a

place where we candistribute our new gear.

- You did?

- Where?

- Hackett, Arizona.

Former tire factory,perfect for the

distribution center you wanted.

- What about itsenvironmental compliance?

- They're already up on all the

Green Building CouncilStandards, with just the bare

minimum for us to get itin shape for our usage.

- Well, all righty.

Grab a helmet Ben,and tell me more.

- On my way!

Told you I had plans.

(Roger chuckles)

- It's my fault, Ishould've just gone up

when Roger asked me to.

- Why didn't you?

- You know I don't rock climb.

Kayak...

Or ski...

Camp.

- And yet?- And yet,

how do you say no toa job at the biggest

outdoor recreationalgoods retailer?

- You don't.- Exactly.

I mean, the company'sreputation is the reason why

I agreed to be recruited.

Even if outdoorsy isn'texactly my natural orientation.

- Executive Assistantgrapevine says

Tom Davis is staying inSpain after his honeymoon,

which means--- A VP spot is opening up.

- Mm-hmm.- Ben's gonna go hard

for that spot, andhe has seniority.

- Well, he may have only been at

Great Frontiers for a year--

- And a half--- But, Roger respects you.

Maybe that's why Roger wantsto talk with you later.

- I hadn't thought about that.

But Ben's alreadygot a lead on Roger's

new distribution center, so--- So?

Find something elseto take the lead on.

(upbeat music)

(horses whinnying)

(laughing)

(loud hammering)

- All right.

All right.

Young man, a little mementofrom your stay with us.

Thank you so much.

All right, all for you.

High five.

Five!

All right.- Thank you so much, Josh.

- You're welcome.

Michael!- Hey, how are you?

- Good to have you back.- Yeah, great to be back.

- How are you?- Good, good, good.

- Good.- Yeah, I left the office

and went straightto Fresno Airport.

You know I'm not gonnamiss the Centennial, now.

- Would not have beenthe same without you.

Checked in?- No, no.

I'm gonna go do it right now.

- Get checked in, come meet me.

- Okay, see you later.- All right, see you.

- There you go.- Okay.

- Hi, hello, how are you?

Is that Serena Monroe'scar I saw leaving?

- It was.- It was, okay.

Did she make us an offer?- She did.

- Good, I'll file it away inmy special filing cabinet.

- That is why I do the filing.

(sighs) It's a good offer, Josh.

- A good offer in theory.

I don't need to read thatcontract from that ranch

to know that they just wannalevel this place for pasture.

- And if the banks cared aboutkeeping this place intact,

we wouldn't be where we are.

But numbers with deadlinesare all banks care about.

And we need tostart caring, too,

while we still havea say in the matter,

which we won't bythe end of the month.

- Centennial is in a week.- I know.

And Serena says shewants an answer by then.

She knows exactly when thebanks will come calling.

- And Dad would be really upset.

If he knew we were thinkingabout selling this place.

- But Dad didn'twanna turn Harmony

into a dude ranch, either.

But we did.

We had to.

And it almost worked.

- Almost.

(soft music)

- Hi, Grace said I should just--

- Yes, here.

Try this.

Potential vendor.- Okay.

Oh.

What is it supposed to be?- In theory,

freeze-dried lasagna.

- Takes like oatmeal.

- I'll put that down as a pass.

But that is not why you're here.

I think...

I think a change is in order.

- Regarding?

- The Great Frontiers retreat.

- Retreat?- Retreat.

As you know, every yearwe pick someplace new.

Maui, Yosemite, Grand Cayman.

That was nice.

But I have a new idea.

Harmony Dude Ranchin North Dakota.

- Dude?- Ranch.

I've always had a softspot for the Old West.

This one's new on the market.

700 acres, owned bya brother and sister,

Josh and Taylor Ketchum.- Hold on,

you're thinking about buying?- I am.

That's the new idea.

- Only for a retreat.

- You have another suggestion?

- Well, it's justcompany-wide we only

have a few retreats every year.

- That's true.

- Wait, what about, what ifwe used it as something else

for the rest of the time?

Like an employeetraining center.

I mean, we're growingout of the one in Denver.

- I like where you're going.

- I mean, we could evendo our bootcamps there.

- Yes.

Oh, that's perfect!

Why don't you goand scout the place

and see if it's up toGreat Frontiers standards?

- You want me to scout--- I know, I know.

Normally Ben goes, but he's off

to Arizona scouting thepotential distribution center.

- Right, it's just--- Should only

take a couple of days.

But it has to be ASAP.

My agent tells me there'sanother offer on the place.

- But I--- Look,

if Harmony isn'tright we'll pass.

By then, Ben should be backand he can take it from here.

What do you say?

(upbeat music)

- Reception's a bitspotty out here.

Harmony Ranch is just up ahead.

- Thank you.

- Reins.

Gotta keep 'em closer to you.- Like that?

(horses whinnying)

(camera shuttering)

(horse snuffling)

(guests chattering)

- Welcome to Harmony!- Hi, I'm a late arrival.

- Ms. McKenna fromGreat Frontiers?

- Yes.

Please, call me Alex.

You must be one of the Ketchums.

- Sure am.

Taylor Ketchum,nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

This place is amazing.- Thanks.

I grew up here so it's kindahard to have perspective.

- I know exactly what you mean.

I grew up in suburban Ohio.

I didn't realize howbeautiful it was until I left.

- Oh, well I'll have totake your word for it.

The leaving andcoming back part.

I've never been to Ohio.

I mean, I've neverbeen anywhere, really.

I would like to go places.

(laughing)

Okay, let's get you situated.

- Okay.

(upbeat music)

- All right.

Thanks.

- Hey, Josh.

I kinda overslept and missedthe lasso lesson this morning.

- How long you been coming here?

- I don't know, five years, why?

- You should know it's alariat, it's not a lasso.

- Right, right.- So.

- How 'bout now?- Yeah, now's fine.

Let's go.- Okay.

- I can't believe you guysare selling the ranch.

It seems so popular.

- Yeah, this week, sure.

But that's because of ourCentennial celebration.

A lot of our regularguests are back,

so we're busier than usual.

But catch us most any other time

and there are halfas many folks here.

- So beautiful.- Thanks,

but we got a late start inthe dude ranch business.

We were still a working ranchonly until six years ago.

- What made you change it?

- Our dad passed away.- Oh, I'm so sorry.

- Thank you.

Dad thought dude rancheswere basically resorts.

And he wasn't wrong.

But maybe if we'd gonethat route earlier.

I know you're just taking alook around for your boss,

but if you don't mind,I'd appreciate it if you'd

keep the fact we're sellingto yourself, at this point.

I don't wanna upsetany longtime guests.

- My lips are sealed.

- Wow, is this my cabin?- It is.

Well, yours and Jill's.- Jill?

(laughing)

- Jill Tanner from Modesto.

Nice to meet you, Alex.- And you are my--

- Cabinmate for a couple days.

- Oh.

I just thought that--- Your reservation

came so last secondthat we had to bunk up.

Mr. Hilton's officesaid it would be okay

since you were only gonna behere 'til day after tomorrow.

- That is true.- And the only other option

was the ranch hand bunk house.

- Oh, well, we'll befine, this is great.

- Okay.

I have to head backto the front desk,

and I have to start preppingthe coals for dinner.

- Taylor's barbecue is the best.

- And my pumpkincheesecake's even better.

- Mm, accurate.

Don't fret.

I promise, I'm great at sharing.

You can ask my ex-husband.- Oh.

- Gary.

It's all amicable.

I'm the kinda personwho always wanted

to go outdoors andfind adventures,

and he's more ofa watch adventures

from a distance kind of guy.

So now I can come toplaces like Harmony

for a fresh startand meet new people.

Like you.

Look at me, oversharing.

(laughing)- Okay then.

- Come on, let meshow you your room.

- Ooh, wait, okay.

(lasso whipping)

- All right?- Okay.

I think.

- Now, you got this.

(cat meowing)

- There you go.

- And then when youget really good,

you can start doing this stuff.

- [Alex] What?

(Alex squealing)

- Whoa, Josh.- I am so sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry.

- Most guys justask for my number.

- You all right?- Yeah.

This is what we calla funny story one day.

(laughing)

- Let's start over.

Josh Ketchum,co-owner of Harmony.

- Alex McKenna.- Nice to meet you.

This is my guest.- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- McKenna, I don't--

- I just got here.

Late arrival.

- Yeah, no, I get all the names,

I just don't recognize that one.

- Oh.

- Welcome.

- Don't get mad.

- Well, that's practically aguarantee he's gonna get mad.

- Why am I getting mad?

- See?- Nothing's official.

- Are you a lawyer or something?

- Definitely not.

- Okay, then whatbrings you here?

- It's the ranch.- To scout and possibly buy.

- Are you from Monroe?

Because Monroe knows whatthis property looks like.

- I'm sorry, what's Monroe?

- Alex is from Great Frontiers.

- I don't know that ranch.

- No, it's not a ranch.

We're the leading onlineretailers of sportswear,

camping gear,mountaineering equipment.

Really never heard of us?

- Do you sell cowboy boots?- Actually, no.

- Then no.

So you'll understand thatI don't understand why

you'd want to buy this place.

- I'm just here to scout.

And possibly buy for a companyretreat and training center.

- A retreat and training center.

I wish we had a contract.- You do?

- Yes, I'd file itin my special file.

Ms. McKenna, I don'twanna sell this ranch.

I especially don't wanna sell it

to some corporateraider who doesn't have

enough sense to wearthe proper boots.

- These are excellent boots.

- They're not for riding.

That's what we do here.

Very sorry to waste your time.

- I apologize.

My brother can bea little stubborn.

- Well, as it happens,that makes two of us.

(upbeat music)

(phone ringing)

- Alex McKenna's office.

- [Alex] Hello, Carla?

Carla?- Alex?

- Carla, hi.

Oh, so glad I got through.- Where are you right now?

- I am standing undera tree, next to a pond.

The guests call it Two Bar Tree.

It's like the only place hereyou can get any cell service.

I just emailed you somepictures of the ranch.

- [Carla] Oh, it's pretty.

- It's even prettier in person.

Roger is gonna love this place.

- Do they wanna sell?

- Well, the sister does.

And from what shesaid, the finances are

a little precarious, whichactually works out in our favor.

- Oh, I thought youwere just scouting.

- I am.

But if Roger buysHarmony, based on my info,

that'll put me ina good position.

- Mm, the VP position.

- Exactly.

Hey, will you do me a favor,since you're basically my only

access to wifi right now?

Can you look upMonroe Ranch for me?

(keyboard clicking)

- Monroe.

Looks like they're aranching conglomeration.

- Makes sense.

I think they're the other offer.

- We haven't put in an offer.

- Yet.

(soft music)

(guests chattering)

- Hey, folks!

If I can grab yourattention for one second,

I just wanted to remindeveryone that this is

gonna be Harmony Ranch'sCentennial Celebration

coming up this Saturday.

We're expecting apretty good crowd.

We've all had Taylor'scooking by now,

so you know how goodthe food's gonna be.

- Mm-hmm.- Especially the pies.

(laughing)Pecan, my favorite.

I just wanted to givea heartfelt thank you

to all of you for being here.

We see a lot of familiar faces,

and your loyalty isvery appreciated.

So just wanted to say thank you.

That's enough talking by me.

Enjoy your night,enjoy the food.

(guests applauding)

(upbeat music)

(guests chattering)

- I ate way too much.(laughing)

- Jill Tanner?- Michael Getz!

Oh!

- What are you doing here?

- You told me aboutthis place ages ago!

- Yeah, but--- Michael, this is Alex.

My temporary cabinmate.

Alex, this is Michael.

An old co-worker of mine.

- Yes.- We met earlier.

- Jill here was the besthuman resources director ever.

- Oh stop.

It's true though.- I'm sure it is.

- She was fantastic.- Aw, wow,

I can't believe I'm seeing you.

- Will you guys excuse me?

- Oh, absolutely.- Okay.

Hey, you wanna sit over there?- Yeah.

- See you.- Mr. Ketchum?

- Was my father.- Josh.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

- Sure.

- You do need to sellthe ranch, don't you?

- It is looking that way.

- Monroe's theonly bidder so far?

- Perhaps.

- How much time do you haveleft with your creditors?

(laughing)

- If I told you that, I'dbe a terrible businessman.

And contrary to mypresent situation,

I'm not a terrible businessman.

- Good to know.

Look, I deal withvendors all the time,

so I have a pretty goodsense when someone's

running out of timefor other offers.

My assistant tellsme that Monroe

is a major ranch conglomeration,

so it's unlikely they'regonna keep Harmony intact.

- And Great Frontiers will?

They will keep thisas a company retreat?

- We wanna buy a ranch,not a piece of land.

- I appreciate those words.

But I still think there'sa better way, Ms. McKenna.

- Alex.- Alex.

I'd find you.

- Morning Serena.

- Don't be mad at me.

- What do you expect?

You're trying to buy my ranch.

- You're selling it.- No, Taylor.

Taylor put it onthe market, not me.

- She's always beenthe sensible one

between the two of you.(horse snorting)

- So what am I?

- You're the same guyyou were in high school.

The kind who pretendsto be practical.

Always wishing onstars and hoping that

Harmony Ranch willreturn to its glory days.

But that's not gonna happen.

- So I should sell to you?

- Unless you prefer the bank

to swoop in like asuper villain, then yes.

- I'll pass.

- I'm not the badguy here, Josh.

I'm trying to make thebest of a bad situation.

- So you'll keep it intact?

- You know that'snot on the agenda.

- Unfortunately, theanswer's still no.

- Hey, hey, Josh!

Between MonroeRanch and the bank,

at least we're the known entity.

Who knows what's gonnahappen if the bank

repossess and sellsit to some stranger?

Think about that.

It was good to see you.

(upbeat music)

(camera shuttering)

(door slamming)

- Ms. McKenna?

Would you mind ifwe spoke in private?

(soft music)

So if Great Frontiersbuys this place,

you're going tokeep it as a ranch?

- I'm pretty surethat's the plan.

- I need you to be really sure.

Alex, Harmony is somuch more than just

these picturesyou've been taking.

I need to preserve some of that,

and I need you tounderstand this place

like I understand it inorder to make that happen.

- So show me.

Guide me throughthe ranch experience

so I fully understand.

- In what, a day?

You're leaving tomorrow.

- What if I extend mytrip through the weekend?

Does that work for you?

- Yeah.

Yeah, that will work for me.

- Great.

When do we start?

- Dawn.

- Dawn.

Great.

(phone ringing)

(phone beeping)

(speaking foreign language)

- [Computer Program]Now, repeat.

(speaking foreign language)

- What are you listening to?(Taylor yelling)

- Italian lessons.

- For cooking?- No, for life.

You know, in caseI ever go to Italy.

Have you thought aboutwhat you'll do next?

You know, once Harmony,

no coffee for me, thanks.

- It's not for you.- Well then,

who's it for?- Ms. McKenna.

- Pause, backup.

What?

- Gonna show her around theranch the next couple days,

to make sure shesees it like we do.

- Why?- 'Cause I'd like

to know there'sat least a chance

of preserving Harmony's history.

(coffee grinder grinding)

- Whoa, I thoughtthis was a dude ranch!

- It's not all horses.

Michael and I aregoing bike riding.

- Oh.

You and Michael.- It's not like that.

We worked together.- Right.

Back when you were married.

- Well, true.- You're not married now.

- Also true.

- So it could be like that.

- That never occurred,I haven't been

on a date in 15 years.

(gasping)

I look like I'm goingon the Tour de France.

- You look like you'regoing on a bike ride.

And are very well protected.

(laughing)

- Oh.- Look, I'm gonna be

staying for a couple moredays, through the Centennial.

I'll talk to Taylorabout moving me.

- Don't be silly!

This cabin's toobig for only me.

This is perfect.(loud knocking)

Michael!

Do you think I havetime to change?

- I think you're good.

(soft music)

(phone ringing)(phone beeping)

(Alex groaning)

(upbeat music)

- She's up.

- You said dawn.

- I did, I just didn'tthink you'd make it.

- Well, shows you.

You exceptionally thirsty?

- I figured you fora coffee drinker.

- I am, but I'm also extremelypicky about my coffee.

- Try it.

(horses whinnying)

- How?

- Well, cowboys are pickyabout their coffee, too.

- That is good.(laughing)

- You do know we needto fix this, right?

- What's wrong with my boots?- Everything.

(loud thudding)

Lost and found.

It never ceases to amaze mewhat some people leave behind.

- Are there any other options?

- That is the last ina ladies' size six.

Your jeans, youmight wanna fix that.

- These are Armani, so.- I know, that's my point.

Let's see, these should work.- Okay.

- What's your favorite color?- Pink.

- Let's go with blue.

Matches your eyes.

- Is there anything else?- Gets a bit chilly,

so there we go.

- Perfect.

You want me toclean the stables?

- That's right.

- Interesting sales techniqueyou have, Mr. Ketchum.

- Well, you wanted tosee a side of the ranch

that wasn't so pretty.- This definitely qualifies.

- Cleaning stalls wasthe very first chore

that Dad gave Taylor and I.

Said it was thefoundation of any ranch.

- Explain?

- Well, having a comfortableplace for the horses to sleep

keeps 'em calm.

And since they're the backboneof everything we do here,

as long as they're happy,things run smoothly.

- Well, unfortunately for me,that is perfectly logical.

But I would counter withthe fact that no one

from my company is gonnawanna do this on a retreat.

- Really?- Mm-hmm, yep.

- Team building.

Nothing bonds peoplequite like tedious labor.

- Right.

- Do you need me toexplain it to you, or?

- No, I got this.

- Let's see it.

(loud scraping)

(laughing)

(fast upbeat music)

(Alex screaming)

- Give a girl a littlewarning next time.

- Sorry, hay is coming in.- Thank you.

Okay!

Okay!

(laughing)

(laughing)

You have goats?

- I hope so.

Otherwise, I'm not surewho I've been feeding

for the past year.

- Hey.- Here, you wanna feed 'em?

- Yes!- Look, he's already started.

Come here.- Come on, guys.

- Come see.

- Come on.- All right,

well, this is Matildaand Shelby, Mary Beth.

This is Miss Susie, MissCourtney's over here.

- Hello.

- Yeah.

- Hello.- Guys, not too aggressive,

we're trying toimpress this lady.

- Well then maybe you shouldhave led with the goats.

(laughing)

(goats bleating)

(Alex gasping)

- Don't watch your diet yet?

Yeah.

(soft music)

- When do I get to ride?

- One thing at a time.

Oh, man.- Here you go.

- Hey.(phone chiming)

- Oh, oh, whoa.

- Yeah, service.

You never know whenyou're gonna get it.

- Do you mind if I makea call while I've got it?

- No, no, no, goahead, go ahead.

Enjoy these guys.(phone ringing)

Come on.

(bell ringing)

(upbeat music)

(phone ringing)

- Roger Hilton.- Hi, it's Alex.

(goats bleating)

- My what a lovely singingvoice you must have.

- Sorry, I triedto call earlier.

Service is prettyhit-or-miss around here.

Mostly miss.

Gotta grab it while I can.- Are you headed back soon?

- That is what I wantedto talk to you about.

I'm gonna need to staya couple more days.

- Why?

- Well, I came to an agreementwith one of the owners, Josh.

- What agreement?

You're out there toscout, not make deals.

- I know.

It's just, if we want achance to make a deal,

then we have toget them to let us

be the ones who buy it.

- So there is another buyer?

- Yeah, it's a big ranch.

They wanna swallow Harmony up.

But Josh does not want that.- Ah ha.

And what does Josh want?

- To keep his family'sranch the way it's been

for the past 100 years.

If we can convincehim we'll do that,

I think we'll beatout the other buyer.

(blender rumbling)

He wants to show me thefiner points of ranch life

so I'll better appreciatewhat this place has to offer.

- Really?

Are you okay with that?- Absolutely.

It's been interesting so far.

But I need to staythrough until Saturday.

They're having aCentennial celebration.

- Celebration?

I love a celebration.

- Do I have your okay then?- You do.

Just be back in the officeby Monday with a full report.

- Okay.- Oh, and Alex.

Don't make any promisesto the Ketchums.

- I got it.

- Smoothie?- No, I'm good.

You ready to talk about this?- Let's do it.

(upbeat music)

- [Josh] So you were sent hereto scout, not make an offer?

- [Alex] That's right.

- It seems like youwanna buy this place.

Why would you bedoing all this stuff?

- It's a long story.

- Well, good thing we have time.

And you wanna massage itall the way to the seam.

- Oh.- Yeah.

- There's a VP position opening.

I'm in competitionwith someone for it.

He's bringing in a big deal,

so I need to bring onein, too, if I want a shot.

- So it's just business.

- You say that likeit's a bad thing.

- It is, if it's the only thing.

- Oh, come on,you're one to talk.

Your entire life is aboutthe business of this ranch.

- Now, how would you knowwhat my whole life's about?

- Okay, fine.

Tell me one of your interestsoutside of ranching.

And don't say football,'cause all guys say football.

- Hmm.- Mm-hmm.

- Stars.

I can name every singlemajor constellation

in the northern hemisphere.- Wow.

Hmm.

Well, I guess, I guess NorthDakota's probably pretty good

for that kind of thing.- It is one of the best.

You tried it?

- I haven't had a chance yet.

Fell asleep superearly last night.

It's funny, usuallyI am up all night

on my phone answeringa million emails.

But I can't do that here.- Perfect.

Lose the phone.

Embrace the nighttime sky.

The moon's almost full, sothe stars aren't as bright,

but it's amazing.

- I just might do that.- You should.

Okay, so outside of work, whatare some of your interests?

- Football.

(laughing)

(upbeat music)

- Woo!- Oh!

Oh!- Oh, man!

- Are you okay?- Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm telling you, thatrock came out of nowhere.

- They're knownfor their stealth.

- Oh!- That's impressive.

You managed to hit the onespot that wasn't protected.

- Yeah, it's okay.

It's just nothing.- Mm.

- Yeah, it's just myshoulder, it's good, yeah.

- Hold on, strong man.

Just until we getback to the ranch.

- All right, whoa.- You can ride

with one arm.- What are you?

Some kind of fielddoctor or something?

(laughing)

- Well, I'm a mom,so same thing.

- So, how are the twins?

- They just startedmiddle school.

- Really?- Mm-hmm.

- Gary has them this week, so--

- Are you okay with all that?- Oh, great.

Gary's great, I'm great.

We just ultimatelyweren't great together.

- Hm.- It happens.

- I see.- What about you?

Are you dating?- Not since Susie.

Do you remember her?- Is she the one who

brought her dinner tothe Christmas party?

- Yeah, yeah she wasalways really particular

about her food.

But we broke up not longafter I got my new job.

- No one since?- Not yet.

I mean, this time, I'mshooting for amazing.

- Well, who knows?

Maybe she'll come out of nowhere

when you least expect it.

Like a rock.

- Right, but how areyou not a Seahawks fan?

- Because I grew up in Ohio,

and you pick you teamwhen you're little

and you stick with it forthe rest of your life,

no matter what.

Those are the rules,don't ask me why.

Believe me, there aretimes every season

I wish I was born in Boston.- Oh, no thanks.

This is GiGi.- GiGi?

- Yeah, this is oneof Taylor's horses.

- She's a beauty.

Hi.- You've ever ridden a horse?

- Used to be my whole life.

- Horses?

- Yeah.

- Really?

- Yeah, I rode dressagefor five years,

up until I turned 15.- Wow.

What made you quit?- Money.

- Yeah, money.

- My mom sold insurance,

my dad was a highschool science teacher.

They both knew howmuch it meant to me,

so they worked extra so I couldkeep riding and competing.

When I realized how hardit was on them, I quit.

- Really?

Just like that.- Probably counts as

my first heartbreak.

- You ridden since?- No.

- Maybe we should change that.

- Yeah?- Yeah.

(soft music)

(upbeat music)

(laughing)

- Man, I am impressed.

Now we just needto get you a hat.

(laughing)

- Why, do you have anyin the lost and found,

'cause I'm almost aspicky about my head wear

as I am about my coffee.- Lost and found, huh?

- (laughing) Hey.

- I knew I recognizedthose boots.

Hey, I'm about to go into town

to get some suppliesfor the Centennial.

Do you want to come with andpick up some new clothes?

- I would love that.- Great.

- Bye.

- We like her?(horse snorting)

Yeah, I think so, too.

(upbeat music)

(slow music)

(upbeat music)

(car rumbling)

- You know, I can'thelp but noticing,

as resistant as Josh is tothe idea of selling the ranch,

you don't seem quiteso upset about it.

- Don't get me wrong,I love the ranch.

This whole place, I meanmy heritage is here.

I even convinced Joshto build a little museum

to the history of Harmony.

- But?

- But the world is a lotbigger than one ranch,

and I wanna see it.

I have friends fromhigh school already

on their third passport.

And here I am, buildingbarbecues and making pies.

All of which are good, trust me.

(bell chiming)

Okay, clothes are inhere, food is at the back.

So I'm gonna gather my supplies,

and then we can meetback here at the bait.

- The bait.

Hmm.

(laughing)

Taylor?

(Taylor shushing)

What?

What?

Who is that?- Serena Monroe.

- Monroe, as in Monroe Ranch?

- She's gonna push mefor an answer about

buying the ranch, andwe don't have one yet.

- Okay, well, thendefinitely stay back.

- Okay.

- [Serena] Thanks so much.

- Okay, she's gone, you're good.

- Serena's always been alittle intimidating for me.

I was even nervous around her

when she and Josh used to date.

- Wait, so Serenaand Josh used--

- Oh, yeah.

But that was before he wentto college and met Claire.

She was the one whobroke his heart.

- Claire?- Mm-hmm.

She was his fiance fortwo years in grad school,

and then one day hecame home from Ithaca

and they weren'tengaged anymore,

and he never talked about it,

but I could tellit bothered him.

- Wait, you don't thinkSerena trying to buy the ranch

is personal, do you?- No, it's just good business.

And if there's anything that

Serena's all about,it's business.

(bell chiming)

Actually, Clairewas like that, too.

Huh, I guess Josh has a type.

And that's me totallyoversharing about my brother.

(laughing)

- Okay.

(laughing)

(upbeat music)

(loud knocking)

- Am I interrupting?- Ben, perfect.

This will go muchfaster with two people.

- Is that the--- Folding kayak.

Prototype from Oregon,lighter material.

Come on.

So what brings you by?

- Well, I've been doingsome more research

on the Arizonadistribution facility.

- Pop that into place, there.

- Thinking longterm, itoccurs to me we'll probably

need a second onewithin a couple years.

- Tighten your bow strap.

Second one, what?

- Second distribution facility.

So the way I'm figuring is,why not secure that second site

right now, while we'realready thinking about

what we really need?

- And you're bow faring.

- This time we buildit from scratch,

we build it to ourown specifications,

like we've always talked about.

- You have a place in mind?- I do.

Harmony Ranch, North Dakota.

(soft music)

(Jill and Michael chattering)

(upbeat music)

- Hey.- Oh!

- Sorry, didn'tmean to disturb you.

- Oh, no, it's okay.

Taylor told me aboutthis place earlier,

so I wanted to check it out.

So all of this is Harmony?

- Mostly.

But also in echoes.

(laughing)

Yeah, that's Hank Ketchum.

He founded the ranch.

- And had a flair for fashion.

- [Josh] Yes, he did.

- How long has the ranchbeen in your family?

- Four generations.

Hoping there'll be a fifth.

- Did you know how muchtrouble the ranch was in?

- No.

No, dad was incharge, and I was away

at grad schooluntil six years ago.

- Where'd you go?- Cornell.

MS in Animal Science.

And it's also where I ranacross a little coffee shop

called Aunt Mary's Coffee,

and I still get the beansfrom there to this day.

- I fully support thatextravagant decision.

- Yeah, thank you.

And by the way, love the outfit.

- Thank you.

I'm aware that it'sfunny that I work

for an outdooradventure gear company

and I had to getmy ranch wardrobe

at a local general store, but.

- I see you kept the boots.

- Well, they're worn in.- Uh huh.

- It's more comfortable.

- Or you just like them.- Possibly.

(laughing)

But if asked about itoutside these four walls,

I'm gonna deny it.- Okay.

That'll be our secret.

(laughing)

(soft music)

- [Alex] So what's theCentennial gonna be like?

- Well, this is normally whenwe have our fall celebration,

so Centennial willjust take its spot.

- Oh.- But we'll do some fun stuff.

Music, games.- That does sound fun.

- Yeah, Taylor's gonnabake about 1,000 pies.

- Oh, having just goneshopping with her,

yes, she is.(laughing)

- What are you gonna do

to celebrate thehistory of the place?

- You know, you're justgonna have to wait and see.

- Mysterious.

- So I have to know,after your first,

full day as a rancheris coming to a close,

what do you think?- I had such a wonderful time.

I loved being able toride again, thank you.

- You're welcome.

And also no prep workfor you for tomorrow,

so feel free to sleep in.- Thank you.

- I'll come findyou around noon.

- Noon it is.- Okay.

Well, have a goodnight, Ms. McKenna.

- Night.

(soft music)

(hoses snorting)

(laughing)

- Nice!

- I am loving this trip.

- Does a certain Michael Getzhave anything to do with that?

- He's not hurtingthe experience.

(loud crunching)- Oh.

So, was yesterday a date?

- I can't quite tell.

You know how long it'sbeen since I've had

to read dating signals?

Men are so complicated.

(loud crunching)

Still, it's kinda nice toeven be having the discussion.

What about you?

(loud crunching)

- What about me?

- Can you have the discussion?

- Oh no, there is nodiscussion to be had.

- Really?- Mm-hmm.

- Because you were spendingan awful lot of time with him.

(loud crunching)

- He's just showingme the ranch.

You know, in caseGreat Frontiers wants

to invest or something.- Invest, really?

That'd be good.- Yeah.

It would.

(loud crunching)

Oh!(laughing)

How did you get him to do it?

- Just handed him a bowl.

(laughing)

- Good morning.

- Hi!

- It has occurredto me, Ms. McKenna,

you have yet to experiencethat most basic excursion

on this ranch.- And what is that?

- Trail riding.

- Finally!

- Let's go!- Okay!

(soft music)

(Alex sighing)

- How does it feel?

- It's amazing.- Yes it is.

You know what?

Come see, somethingI wanna show you.

Come on.

So this was the first cabinbuilt on the property.

My great-grandfatherbuilt it 100 years ago.

- [Alex] 100 years ago?

Wow, you guys havereally kept it up.

- Well, that's all Taylor,for the Centennial.

It's a special place.

You know, my grandfatherwas actually born here.

- Wow.

- Yeah, he used to teachus all about the stars

and the constellations,and the moon, too.

- Moon gazing?- Wishin' on a moon,

especially an autumn moon.

Why an autumn moon?

- It's the only time theweather's really cool enough

you can pause to reflect.

- Take stock of what you have.

- Yeah.

- So peaceful here.

(birds chirping)

- It's almost hard tobelieve there was one point

when I was getting my master's,

I almost didn't come back here.

- Why?

- Love, or what Ithought was love.

But turns out it wasn't.

Guess everyone getshurt from time to time.

- Hmm, not me.

Not really.

I mean, a few bruiseshere and there, but.

(laughing)

I guess I never reallyhad time for a real risk.

- Why is that?

- My parents made so manysacrifices for me growing up,

I didn't wanna let 'em down.

So I worked really hard soI could get a scholarship

and go to the best schools,

so I could get the best job,

and the best job after that.

- Yeah.

- Now, I've got this great job,

but working really hardfor a promotion, so.

- What do you think'snext for you after that?

- I don't know.

Thought I knew.

Josh, I work for anoutdoors adventure company

and I don't have time to gooutdoors and have an adventure.

- That's not right.- So not right!

(laughing)

But this, I mean, all of this,

and the horses,this feels right.

- Why do you think I fightso hard for this place?

- I get it.

It has to stay a ranch.

It has to stay Harmony.

I'll fight for it, I promise.

- Glad to hear.

(upbeat music)

(phone ringing)

- Alex McKenna's office.

- Hey, it's me.- Where have you been?

- Riding, looking at old cabins,

baking an endlessnumber of pies.

- Seriously.- Seriously.

- Seriously?

Is pie baking somethingthey do on the dude ranch?

- Well, there werespecial circumstances

involving a Centennial, anda trip to the emergency room.

Is Roger there?

- No, he left thisafternoon on a trip.

Oh, looks likeBen went with him.

- Ben?

That's odd.

- I can check with Ben's office.

- Oh, no, that's okay.

Does it say whenhe will be back?

- His calendar says Monday.

- I need to talk to him.

Great Frontiers hasgot to get this ranch.

- Were the pies the clincher?

- Everything'sbeen the clincher.

Just let me knowwhen Roger gets back.

- Okay, I'll do my best,but you're not easy

to get ahold of right now.

- Isn't it amazing?

(laughing)

- You're scaring me.

Bye.

(soft music)

(fire crackling)

- I'm just gladyou're better, hon.

- I think my pride isa much bigger wound.

I'm so clumsy.

I tripped over my own feet.

(laughing)

- [Jill] I'm gonnafile that visual away

with so many memoriesI have from here.

- I told her Harmonywas a great place.

- Yes, you did.

He'd come back in the officeafter spending time here,

and say, guys, guys, you have

to hear about my amazingweekend here at the ranch.

- I used to also say,you'd love Harmony.

- I remember.

It's why I came here.

To see if you were right.

You were right.- All right.

- Well, I'm glad you came.

Otherwise, we would haveno pies for tomorrow.

- Oh, yes.

(Taylor yawning)

- Oh, okay, that'smy sign to turn in.

- Me, too.- I'll take you.

- Oh.- Tomorrow is a big day.

Good night.- Good night, good night.

- Night.- Good night.

- Night, guys.- Night, buddy.

- Good night.

Turning in, too?

- Not yet.

All that talk aboutthe moon earlier

made me realize Ihaven't had a chance

to go stargazing yet.

(laughing)

I know a great spot.

- Lead the way.

- Tomorrow is the Centennial.

I go home after that.

- Yeah, me too.

- I've had a lot of fun.- So have I.

A lot, thanks to you.

- Well, good night.- I went to Two Bar Tree

this morning, yeah,to Google the distance

between Modesto and Fresno.

- And?- It's basically

an hour and a half.

- That's not far at all.- No, it isn't.

At all.

- I'll see you tomorrow.- Okay.

Tomorrow.

(soft music)

- Okay, so there's Orion.- Oh, that's an easy one.

Anyone can find him.

He's always got hisbelt sitting up.

(laughing)

- All right.

All right, somethingmore difficult.

- Yeah, come on, dazzle me.

- Okay.

Okay.

This is Pegasus.

- Where?- All right,

see the four stars thatkinda make a square?

- Where?- Right here.

- Oh yeah.- And the two,

the two that are coming down,

- And then top rightmakes the head.

- Oh, yeah, I totally see it.

You would pick the horse.- I would.

If you're cold, we can go in.

- No, I'm good.

- There you are!

Oh, didn't mean to interrupt.

- No, everything okay?

- Everything's fine.

We just had a coupleof unexpected guests.

- Okay, did you tell'em we're fully booked?

- Oh, no, I gavethem the bunkhouse.

(upbeat music)

There we go, guys.

Cheers.

More coffee?- Oh, thank you.

- Okay.

- My compliments to the chef.

- Oh, thanks, it'sone of my specialties.

- Oh, how do you?- Oh, oh, well, it turns out

I've made eggsFlorentine so many times

I actually can do it one-handed.

(laughing)

Besides, I'm on the mend.

- Well, veryimpressive, Ms. Ketchum.

- Much appreciated, Mr. Hilton.

(rooster crowing)

- What are you andRoger doing here?

- Not sleeping well,that's for sure.

Wow, nice boots!

Way to commit.- Ben.

- You know, Roger snores loudly.

Do I smell like horse?

I feel like Ismell like a horse.

- It's a dude ranch, Ben.

And stop evading my question.

Why are you here?

- You know Roger, helikes to see things

with his own eyes, kick thetires before making a move.

You know?- So he's gonna

make a move on Harmony?- Yeah, I'm sure of it.

- Did I see you holdingAlex's hand last night?

- Her hands were cold.- Oh!

Oh, okay.- She's leaving.

- Yeah, but if hercompany buys Harmony,

then they'll come back.

She might be back, andthen you could stay on.

- And be an employeeat my own ranch?

No.- Hey, Josh.

- Really Taylor?- Oh, thank you.

- No, I'm not interested.- Yeah, but if Alex was here.

Josh!- No, no.

(upbeat music)

- Vera.- Mm-hmm.

- Are you Josh Ketchum?

- I am.- Thought I recognized you

from your ranch's webpage.

I'm Roger Hilton.

- Mr. Hilton.- Roger.

What a place you have.

I wouldn't be ableto get anything done.

I would be riding, fishing,

staring at all thenatural beauty.

- Yeah, thank you.

You would until a horsecame and nudged you

'cause he's ready to be fed.- Good point.

Have you seen Alex?- I have not.

Not since last night.- Okay, well,

I'll probably run intoher at the Centennial.

100 years, huh?

That's impressive.- Thank you.

- I'll let you getback to things.

Probably have a busyday ahead of you.

- I do, but I'd be happy toshow you around a little,

if you'd like.- I'm gonna explore

on my own if that'sokay with you.

- It's okay.

Nice meeting you.

(upbeat music)

(kids giggling)

- Mm.

- Who's ready forsome rope tricks?

There we go!

(guests applauding)

Thank you, all right.

Here's a fun factabout these tricks.

My grandfather, HankKetchum, he taught 'em to me.

I'm gonna teach 'em to you.

So we're gonna startwith the first one.

This is called theflat round, okay?

Here we go.

All right.

(guests applauding)

All right.

Let's see, I mightneed some help.

Who can help me?

Who wants to volunteer?

Oh, boy.

Young man, let's have you.

Here we go.

Here, I'll trade.

Oh, my gosh.

Look at him.(guests applauding)

Did you have fun?

All right, thanksfor coming again.

Good seeing you, bud.

All right, thank you so much.

- Well, Hank Ketchum,I do declare.

- Ma'am.- Your tribute.

- You like it.- It was perfect.

- I get why peoplewanna come out

to the old west andact like a cowboy

or a cowgirl for a few days.

I get it.

- So I have some news.

- Some news.- Yeah.

- Okay.

- I spoke with mycolleague, Ben.

- Ben's the one thatcame with Roger, right?

- Yes, and he's prettysure that Roger wants

to buy Harmony.

- And keep it intact like it is?

- I think so.- Yes!

(laughing)

Oh, my gosh, thank you so much.

Thank you so much.- No, don't thank me.

It's you.

You're the one whokept this place

working all these years.

I'm so glad you did.

- You really likeit here, don't you?

- Are you kidding?

I love it.

I really do.- Yeah.

That's good.

That's great.

- I gotta go talk to Roger.- Yeah.

Okay, yeah.- Okay.

- All right.

Hey, Alex?- Yeah.

- Save me a dance later?

- I'll save two.

- Yes.

(loud clanging)

- Oh, close, close.(loud clanging)

- Oh, wow.

- Huh?- Very nice.

- Roger?- There she is.

- I was so surprised whenTaylor told me you were here.

- Well, I had to comefor the celebration.

- You had a chanceto look around?

- A little.

I got up at first lightand went for a walk.

Tried to get Ben to come with.

- Yeah, my hip's still cramped

from sleeping on the sofa.

- Well, I can assure you theguest cabins are much nicer.

Employees are gonna be fightingover who gets which one.

- For?- The retreat,

here at Harmony.- Oh, I already

bought a new company retreat.

- I'm sorry, what?- Yeah, a great deal

came up yesterday fora property in Hawaii.

- Ben just said that--- Yeah, I said he was

interested in buying Harmony.

I never said it wasfor the retreat.

- Then what are you?- Well, Ben suggested

we build a seconddistribution center here.

- Totally new fromthe ground up.

- Seriously?

- Don't you like the idea?

- Josh is nevergonna go for that.

- Then we don't tell Josh.- Don't tell Josh what?

- Josh, didn't knowyou were there.

- Don't tell Josh what?

- That Roger isafraid of horses.

- That's okay.

You're just planning ontearing this place down?

After you buy it andput a giant warehouse

for all your adventure stuff.

Guess I was standingthere a little bit longer

than you thought.- Josh.

- I've heard enough.

- Josh.

- Well, looks like the Harmonydeal just fell through.

Fortunately, we still have theArizona distribution center

in place, so guess wecan get going on that.

Yeah?

(soft music)

(birds chirping)

- Josh!

Josh.

You have to believe me.

I had no idea thiswas gonna happen.

- I know.

Alex, I thought thatselling my family's heritage

for pasture was a bad idea,

but a distributioncenter is much worse.

- I'm so sorry.

I wish there wassomething more I could do.

- Maybe this is a good thing.

You know, Taylor,she's ready to travel.

This ranch is holding her back.

That's not fair to her.

- What about you?

- I'll be fine.

Thank you for trying to help.

- I had to, I love this place.

- Me, too.

- Hey.- Sorry, it was too good.

(laughing)

- So that's it, then?

- That's it.

(sighs)

- What now?

- We sell.

It's been inevitable.

I just had a hardtime admitting it.

- So weird looking outat all this activity

and it won't change a thing.

- Yeah.

Should know I had aconversation with Alex

that maybe this is a good thing.

- How'd you figure?

- I've been working toohard hanging onto the past.

And maybe it's time tolet it go, let you go.

Off on your adventures.

- You know I do love this place.

- I know you do.

Got a lot of good memories here.

- And we'll alwayshave each other.

- You're not gettingrid of me that easy.

(laughing)

Lasso your friends,embarrass you a little bit.

- Gonna have to find me, first.

(guests chattering)

- The lesser of two evils.

- Yep.

- (laughing) Yeah.

There we go.

- Roger?- Alex.

Before you say anything,I have one question.

Do you know wherethey keep the waders?

- What?

- 'Cause I think weshould go fishing.

(reel whirring)

I love fishing.

I love nature.

It's why I started GreatFrontiers in the first place.

For people like me wholove being outdoors

in all its glory.

- Can we just talkabout this, now?

- In a minute.

Now, I think it'simportant in life

when a person loves what theydo and does what they love.

'Cause then it'll havemeaning and value.

When you truly valuesomething you always strive

to do right by it.

- Look, if you love natureas much as you claim you do,

then even the idea oftearing all this down,

getting rid of the ranchjust so we can have

another warehouse, itshould be appalling to you.

You know I think it is.- Do you?

- Yes.- Why?

- Because it's wrong!

These trees, thisriver, the horses.

People, they all have value.

- And that is why Iwanted you to be the one

to come out here.

- What?

- You are an intelligent person.

A great executive.

Your co-workers love you,yet you're not a pushover.

But if you're gonna moveup into the VP position,

I need to know thatyou love what I love.

This.

- So my coming out here was--

- I like to think of itas a fishing expedition.

Of a kind.

- If I had to choose betweenthe development and the land--

- Which would it be?

- The land.- That's what I like to hear.

Look, I love my company,

and I am proud ofwhat we've become,

but it can't allbe about business.

- But this seconddistribution center.

- Oh, that was nevera consideration.

- Ben thought it was.

- Which is why hedoesn't work for me

as of about 42 minutes ago.

I wanted to know if he couldstill push for his project

if he saw the beauty firsthand.

He could.

- So what are youplanning for Harmony?

- Nothing.

I chose a dude ranch mainlybecause of your history

with equestrian riding.

- You know about that?

- Oh, our backgroundchecks are very thorough.

(laughing)

I thought you'd respondwell to horses again.

- Okay, but what about thenew Great Frontiers retreat?

- Well, I really did geta great deal in Hawaii.

But what do youthink I should do?

- I think,

I think I have a newidea I wanna run by you.

Just might giveeveryone what they want.

(soft music)

- So does that meanHarmony won't be open

for guests anymore?

- It won't be open for anyone.

I'm sorry.

- Oh, honey, don't apologize.

You're the one havingto leave your home.

- Yeah.

It's becoming real.

- Do you know where Josh is?

- He's with Serena.

- Why?

- To sign the contracts.

- Oh, no.

No, where are they?

- In the house.

- So this includesall the horses?

- Yes, they'll bewell taken care of.

- I know.

You love your horses.

- You can come visitthem anytime you want.

Like I said, I'm notthe bad guy here.

- Stop!

Josh, you don't wanna do this.

- This is the best option.

- What if it's not?

- Who are you?- I'm Alex McKenna.

I'm the new VP atGreat Frontiers.

And I have aproposition for you.

(upbeat music)

So it seems likeeveryone has an opinion

about what to dowith Harmony Ranch.

Serena wanted to turnit into graze land.

- And Great Frontiers hasdiscussed repurposing the land,

for a distribution warehouse.

- And I originally cameout here to scout it

for a trainingcenter and retreat.

But the best idea would beto keep it the way it is.

Only busier.

- How?

- Well, dude ranchesare big business.

Everyone loves coming hereand dressing up like a cowboy

or a cowgirl andgoing on adventures.

- True.- And while Great Frontiers

is an amazing company withmillions of loyal customers--

- We've never had a westernoutfitting division.

Until now.

- We wanna have a reliablepartnership destination

for our customersas an incentive.

- We'd call it GreatFrontiers at Harmony Ranch.

Your ranch, ourproducts, everybody wins.

- We'll pay off whatyou owe the bank

and go forward asequal partners.

If that's all right with you.

- And--- Oh, right.

Taylor, it turns outthe Great Frontiers team

is in dire need ofan executive chef,

and we have officesall over the world,

and I spend a good dealof time visiting them all.

You don't suppose--- Yes, yes.

- But don't you wannahear the full offer?

- No, no, no, I get it.

I'm your chef, ifthat's okay with you.

- Yeah.

Is this for real?

- I told you I'dfight for Harmony.

- I'm gonna take that as a yes.

- It's a yes from me.

- Yes, definitely.

Definitely yes.- All right.

- Would you excuseme for a minute?

- Yeah.

Yes!(laughing)

- [Alex] Ben!

- I was really hopingto storm off in a huff.

- I'm sorry.- Why?

You won.

- It's not about winning.

Okay, maybe in the beginningit was about winning.

Definitely in the beginningit was about winning,

but now it's more aboutdoing what's right

for this ranch, and thepeople, and the land.

- Wow, you reallysound like Roger.

Good job.- Thanks.

Good luck, Ben.

I mean that.- You do, don't you?

All right.

I hope things work out for you.

- Thank you.

You, too.

(soft guitar music)

- I still cannot believeyou saved this place.

- Well, you and Taylor arethe one who kept it going

long enough for thecavalry to arrive.

- So what are thecavalry's plans?

You heading back to Seattle?

- Well, Roger has aprivate plane chartered

for tomorrow morning, so.

- Oh.

- But I was thinking aboutstaying a little while longer.

- How much longer?

- Well, I told Rogerit might be a good idea

while we get the newdivision up and running,

if I stay entrenchedin the environment,

you know, so I knowwhat I'm talking about.

- It's a pretty smart idea.

- You think so?- I do, I do.

And I think youmight need someone,

I don't know, who knowsthe Western lifestyle.

- You may need someone tohelp you out with the horses.

- It's very true.

I happen to know a guy.

- Well, I know a girl.

- She have any experience?

- She has potential.

When will she start?- Right away.

- Wait, this first lessondoesn't have anything

to do with a pitchforkand hay, does it?

- No, but it does involveputting those boots

to good use.
