So, Lynnie.

Mr. Landsburg has been kind enough

are gonna have a fresh start

then I need to come clean with you

-about a few things. -Like what?

So I've done some things in my life

that I'm not proud of

and I found myself in a hole of debt

that I couldn't get out of.

So I did what I do best

and I skipped town.

Now since then, I have been living an honest, quiet life.

But I've been looking over my shoulder all the time

because I knew, eventually, it'd catch up with me and find me.

And well, they caught up with me and they found me.

(John) Well, thank you, thank you, Caleb,

for coming clean.

That's something your father could never do.

(Caleb) You know, my father is not as bad a guy as you think he is.

You know, he paid that debt for me.

(John) Yeah, now it's come clear.

(Caleb) And to do so, he had to borrow

a huge sum of money from a private lender in the city.

(John) Let me guess, couldn't pay his lenders.

(Caleb) He gave them what he could from the auction

and he gave them everything else he had

but come tomorrow, if he doesn't pay the entire thing

then they're gonna own that ranch.

He put it all on the line for me.

Everything, everything he's worked

his whole entire life for.

This whole thing is my fault.

Isn't that what you always say, Grandpa?

Family first, ranch second.

Isn't that what you say?

Isn't that exactly what Tap is doing for his son?

Yes, it is.

(Lynnie) Can we help him, Grandpa?

(John) What's the name of that lender?

Tap Peterson is our family

so how much are we talking?

(Gloria) His outstanding debt is $450,000.

Are you kidding me?

That is a lot of money, Dad,

are you sure we can do this?

We're honest people.

We work hard to put food on your table.

-We're trustworthy, see? -I'm sure you are.

But the terms of his loan are clear.

He has until 5 PM tomorrow to pay in full

or the loan defaults and his property is ours.

(Lynnie) But that's not fair.

His land is worth way more than that.

(Tap) What are you people doing here?

-Dad. -This is my affair, not yours.

-Easy, easy, big fella. -Dad, I told him why

you need the money, that it's my fault.

Your fault? It's nothing to do with it.

It's my business and if I want to burn it down, son, I will.
