[engine puttering]

[chickens clucking]

- Good morning, chickens.

♪

- We have to talk, Dad.

- Hope this ain't a conspiracy

to keep me from my breakfast.

- We're just trying to save you from yourself.

- And we're running out of time.

- I could use a quiet breakfast.

- Hey, me first. - Long as I get my say.

- Fine, you won't let us save you,

then let us save this ranch. - You sound just like

your mother when you say that. - Don't change the subject.

Okay, the bed-and-breakfast. - Oh, Rebecca.

- What? - We've been through all this

time and again, no is the answer, no.

- What exactly do I do here, Dad?

Remind me.

What explicitly is it that I'm in charge of?

- Yeah.

Taillight's out.

- No, it's not.

- No, it's not.

- What do you want, Henry?

- I heard Lynnie was coming home today.

- Yeah, well, you never know with Lynnie.

Where'd you hear that?

- I got my connections.

I might not be quite as stealthy

as your dad was when he wore the star,

but I get around.

Bet you she's been through some changes--

school and all, city life.

Must be excited.

- [whispers] I'm scared to death.

- You? Scared? - Mm.

From what little she did say to me,

it's looking like she wants to open things up

about her dad, maybe seek him out.

- [sighs] Well...

only natural, I guess, after all this time.

- Yeah, well, I make one big mistake,

and it just follows me and follows me

and follows me, you know.

- You have always been a loving mom.

I'm sure Lynnie can see that,

now she's older.

No, your real mistake was choosing him over me.

- Please, you weren't even in the picture back then, Henry.

Shut your face. - Well, in my heart, I was.

Always.

What'd your dad say about it?

- Well, you know him,

never says more than is necessary.

It's all gonna work itself out.

It's what he always says.

- I'm a good sounding board if you need one.

- Thank you, Henry.

I appreciate it.

- Well, you can take over for me.

- I can do that.

[chuckles] Thanks, Regan.

You, uh,

look good, Lynn, beautiful.

- Don't bother. It's not a happy place for me.

I don't want to be here any longer than I have to be.

- All right. Then why are you here?

What do you want?

- You know what I want.

- We have been over this a thousand times.

Your father took a walk long before you were born

and hasn't been seen since--

biggest mistake of my life.

- My father was a mistake?

- A mistake that led

to the greatest blessing of my life.

- That doesn't cut it, Mom.

It didn't when I was kid,

and I'm not a kid anymore.

- No, you're not.

Honey, you are a beautiful young woman.

- Just stop with the down-home syrup.

I got enough of that, with grandpa's speech.

- Hey, girls.

Lynnie, you must be tired from your trip.

You better get-- get some shut-eye.

Chores start at 0430.

- What are you talking about?

- No freeloaders here, darling.

You know that.

Got to pull your weight.

And get paid a fair wage like everyone else.

Sundays, off for church.

Say good night to your mother.

She and I got some business to attend to.

Go on, sweetie. Cut a trail to bed.

- Good night, Mom. - Good night, Lynn.

- I don't know what I'm gonna do.

- Hey.

Give it a couple of days. - Mm-hmm.

[train whistle blows]

- Thanks, Flo.

- I'll take one of those, Flo.

Seat taken?

- It is now.

- [grunting]

- What?

- Oh, I still remember the first time

I saw you drinking beer.

- Oh, yeah? - County Fair.

It was the year you won

the barrel races at the rodeo,

You were a sight to behold, girl.

So strong, graceful.

- Mm, so much younger.

- [laughing] - [chuckles]

- You're still a beautiful woman, Rebecca.

- All right. [chuckles]

- All right.

So how's things with Lynnie?

- My goodness, how do you think

things are with Lynnie?

No idea she was gonna be so angry.

- You should come clean with her, Rebecca.

Be better for you both in the long haul.

- Oh, you think so? - I know so.

- Oh. Well, thanks for that, Doc.

Appreciate that.

- No charge.

[gentle instrumental music]

- You've been very good to me, Henry, you know that?

We should go do something fun, what do you say?

Riding or--I don't know.

- Anytime.

- I got an ice cream with rainbow sprinkles, Grandpa.

[dramatic music]

♪

Well, with all the bad blood between our families,

I, uh, really couldn't stand the idea of you

knowing that Tap Peterson was your granddad.

- I need to meet my father.

I need to find him.

- We have looked for years, your grandpa and I.

- Don't the Petersons know where he is?

- They have always said no,

so we just stopped asking.

- If he's alive I'm--I will find him.

- I love you, baby.

♪

- I know you're in a tough spot, Mr. Landsburg,

and I sympathize,

but I can guarantee you this is not a forgery.

- You won some awards, huh?

- Now, if you like, you can file a complaint.

We can try to dig up the original in D.C.

But if what you tell me is true, I suggest you produce

your own copy of the deed,

signed and notarized of course.

- Let's do both just to be sure,

and I'd like a printout of that deed in your computer.

- Agent McCarthy will help you file the complaint.

You'll have to fill out a request form

for a copy of the deed.

- You can't just print one out?

- Again, I sympathize, but rules are rules.

Have a nice day.

[glass shatters]

[dramatic music]

- Have a nice day.

[somber music]

- I'll get my boots on.

[light instrumental music]

♪

- Excuse me.

- But...

outside... [speaking indistinctly]

- Hi, I'm your granddaughter.

- Excuse me?

- Your son Caleb Peterson is my father.

- Uh, where did you come up with a story like that?

- I want to find my father.

- Well, that's nice,

but, see, we're gonna have a little problem here,

because, um,

I really don't want to talk to you.

You're a Landsburg, and, um...

I don't like talking to Landsburgs.

They give me indigestion.

- You're a coward.

And your son Caleb, my father,

is just a chip off the old block.

- Now, look, young lady, um,

I don't much care what you say about me.

But my son is not a coward.

I'm sure he had his reasons

for running off like he did.

It's a pretty good thing too.

So let me tell you something.

There's no way on God's earth

that I would let my son run off with...

any one of John's daughters.

None.

- But I happened. What about me?

- Collateral damage.

- No. I'm not gonna sell this place.

There's too many memories here.

- Your daddy ran me off a couple of times.

- [laughs]

Well, serves you right for sneaking

into an innocent girl's bedroom.

- I guess you were never innocent.

- No.

- Why'd you do it, Laura?

Why help Tap destroy my family?

- For the commission, John.

Girl's got to eat.

[somber music]

♪

You know, there's always a place for you here

if you needed time.

- Senator Archer must be really desperate

for a legacy to risk all this.

- Well, all politicians want stuff named after them.

They have bigger egos than movie stars.

- It has to be something more than that.

- Yeah, of course. It's money.

Tap and the honorable senator,

they own an energy company.

So they're gonna build a solar power plant on your dirt

with a real nice federal subsidy.

- They don't need my well for that.

- No. Your water's gonna be diverted

to restore a salmon run.

I'm sorry, John.

- Well, I appreciate everyone coming.

It was good of you--good of you to be here to hear me out.

[indistinct chatter]

♪

- This is all my fault,

'cause I took the deed.

I took the deed, and I gave it

to Laura Lee Schaefer.

- Why?

- Laura Lee came to me.

She said she heard we were having money problems

and she had a solution.

You sell a parcel to save the ranch,

save my home.

She told me she needed to see all the deeds

for the buyer.

- And you believed her?

- I didn't know she was working for Tap,

and I didn't know she took one,

till you told me the deed was missing.

I'm so sorry, Daddy.

- Oh. - I'm so sorry.

♪

We live and die for the land

that our fathers gave us.

That's who we are!

Are you?

Really?

How's that?

Get safe now. - All right.

Camp right over there, right behind that!

Well, you got to move some of them trucks.

Hey, man. - [speaking indistinctly]

We're ready.

Man, is it good to see you, Martin.

Thanks for coming, guys.

Get over there behind that truck.

[all speaking at once]

Ellie, turn those cars out up in this direction.

- The National Guard will be dispatched shortly!

If you do not lay down your weapons and disperse,

you will be arrested!

Take Mr. Landsburg into custody.

- I gave you fair warning.

Don't you dare move.

- Your great-grandma and grandpa,

Nellie and Jeremiah,

faced many challenges,

passed this ranch down to us.

But they were strong, they worked hard,

and they never gave up.

And we're not about to either.
