Hey guys, I think we should call Rose.

You know what? I'm calling.

Karen, damn it, no.

[cell phone vibrating]

[voicemail] This is Rose. Leave a message.

I just don't get what she's doing, what she's trying to prove.

Rose is a private person. I mean, hell, she didn't even tell us that Dennis had cancer

until three months after he was diagnosed.

I know she's a private person, I just--

I don't know, I just-- just worry about her. I mean--

Pow.

Pow?

Pow. You don't fuck around with Rose.

[distant barking]

Good morning, sunshine.

Oh.

-Mmm. -Here.

Thanks.

So you were asleep out here all night again?

I fell asleep. That's what I do now, Karen. I fall asleep.

So, are you going somewhere?

Come on.

What do you see?

Yes! Hell yeah.

I'm going on a road trip.

Tomorrow.

Road trip?

Hey, she wouldn't listen to me.

Karen, if you have something to say, just say it.

Okay.

You know, it's just all the money you and Dennis saved.

To go on a road trip?

In your wheelchair?

It's crazy. It's scary.

It's scarier to stay here.

I get it, Rose, dear.

This road trip is your way of

giving the finger to loneliness.

But Liz, she's not alone.

Tell me something, Lena.

What the hell is that empty chair across from you at breakfast?

You know what, girls?

Right now I'd welcome his big beer belly

I mean it.

Who are we kidding?

We are not the cowgirls.

We're the widows.

[exhaling]

What?

Go see Will.

Go see your son, Rose.

[Lena] Well, you know what, Rose?

Whatever it is you're looking for on this trip,

I hope you find it.

So do I, hon.

Thank you.

I know a thing or two about leather being a rancher and all.

That's my place right there.

Me, I come up here, have lunch and I'm working.

It's peaceful.

See that?

You ever wondered why

older folks pull up stakes on houses they've been in for forty,

fifty years and buy one of them RVs

and make like big rig truck drivers?

That's because I think they're not going to die on the road, you know,

as long as they keep moving.

Yeah.

So where are you headed?

The Bonano Clinic, north.

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but, uh,

right now you're headed due south.

I'll tell you what, I got some business up north there.

I could give you a lift in my pickup.

No, thank you.

Well then, I guess I'll see you around, huh?

[Rose] Remember this spot, Dennis? I think it was our anniversary.

Must have been thirty years ago.

We soaked in the hot springs all afternoon.

Then we made love under the stars. That was nice.

[exhales]

[giggling]

Whoo!

Um, excuse me.

Would you like a little assistance?

Um, no, thanks.

Okay.

Pst!

Hola, chica.

I haven't walked like this in months.

Oh, really?

I'm Mocahontas. My real name's Lilly.

Rose.

Rose. We're both flowers.

[Rose coughs lightly]

My guess is you haven't smoked a lot of weed.

My husband used to.

Last time he smoked it, went out to the freeway and hitchhiked

and ended up on the roadside outside of Gallup.

[Lilly scoffs]

Speaking of husbands, mine, he's been-- he has been screwing one of his grad students

for the last seven months and she's 35 years younger than he.

Thirty-five years.

Come on, that's ridiculous.

And he doesn't even care if I know. You know, but hey,

I'm going to get half his pension and I'm going to get all of it if he kicks it.

You know. so screw him and his midlife crisis bitch.

[both] Hmm.

You know what this reminds me of? My Uncle Tony.

My Uncle Tony, here is this lovable heavyset tuba playing musician

with the orchestra of the Santa Fe Opera

and he would get stoned before every performance.

And he would say life is short, but blow hard.

[laughing]

You know, he-- he was--

he was the Miles Davis of tuba players and he could just like...

[imitating tuba playing]

Oh, he was so talented.

I'm waiting to hear back from some tests, find out if-

well, before the month is over, find out if I'll ever walk without a cane, you know,

get a wheelchair or not, or worse.

But my doctor says I'll fall apart.

[exhales] Well, shit.

It's this thing where you lose control of your arms,

your legs and all of it, it all just goes.

[birds chirping]

[Lilly and Rose laughing]

-Whoo... -What?

I was just thinking about my Uncle Tony.

He played his last note, took his last breath on stage

at the end of Don Giovanni. He sat way back of the orchestra.

And when all the musicians left,

there he sat

with his tuba cradled in his lap.

It was twenty minutes before anyone knew he was dead.

What a way to go.

What a way to go, Uncle Tony.

[Lilly exhales]

Okay.

Give me your number.

We're going to keep in touch.

And I'll just--

I'll just check on you once in a while.

Beautiful day.

I bet you're one of them spa hoppers.

Pretty popular sport around here.

The next pop is the River Bend

I could give you a lift up there.

It'd be quicker.

Got the horse trailer back here for your wheelchair.

Max Hightower.

Rose Jones.

Pleasure to meet you, Rose.

You too, Max.

You hungry?

Hmm.

Um, I'm just an old cowhand.

-How do I say this-- -Dinner tomorrow night.

Rose. Shirley.

Nice to meet you, Shirley.

Yeah, she's an old girl but oh so sweet and smart.

You don't know it's crazy but

long as I've been ranching, and that's been a few years,

I could never figure out what to do with an old horse.

So there she stands.

Well,

she seems to be having a good time.

Mm-Hm. You're quite the chef, Max Hightower.

Yeah, I started out as a rookie bunkhouse cook

for twenty cowhands.

Nearly killed them all. But I've gotten better at it.

Them boys nearly died the first couple of days.

You okay there?

I'm fine.

But once I learned to cook decent beans,

it became easier after that.

These pictures are beautiful.

Thank you.

You're the artist?

Yeah.

Ain't no Picasso.

You're an interesting man, Max Hightower.

Hmm.

So here's the deal. I want to see more of you,

but there's some things you need to know first.

I'm in the middle of a divorce.

Oh.

Yeah, we've been separated for

over a year now.

We have a daughter, Bonnie, seventeen.

Going on fifty.

She has her daddy's talent for handling horses and

her mama's genius for being a pain in the ass.

Seventeen? Second marriage?

Nope. First.

Yeah, I made the mistake of marrying late in life

to a younger gal.

Uh...

Tried to find a woman who could put up with me and my shit.

Turns out Jen, that's her name, Jen, couldn't.

I wish to hell somebody had told me years ago that

it is near impossible to

grow old with somebody twenty years younger than you are.

And Bonnie, she's pissed off most of the time, but you know,

kids always get the rotten end of it.

Mm.

What about you?

My husband, Dennis, died last year.

Mmm.

Good man.

And I have a son, Will.

He's an architect in Santa Fe.

Architect? You must be proud.

I am.

Oh God, you must have seen me on the road.

I did.

I use this stuff now and then for an old mule kick.

I had my first grass in Vietnam.

You were there?

Yeah, for a year and a half on the destroyer Gulf of Tonkin.

Yeah, I was a deck seaman.

Did you see any...

Dead guys?

Yeah. I'd seen float by every day like driftwood.

That's what we called them, driftwood.

[coughing]

-[clearing throat] -Good, huh?

Yeah. [laughing]

what happened between you and your father.

Regret?

Is that it?

Do you even know what you did?

Okay, tell me.

Jesus. Mom, you robbed me of any chance to make peace with dad.

Will, it was your father's dying wish not to let you in the hospital.

I begged him. What else was I supposed to do?

Would you just stop blaming dad?

Why didn't you fight for me?

God damn it, I did.

Bullshit, mom!

You were on heroin.

He knew it.

I was.

Just tell me the truth.

Shit, I am.

I know.

You know what the worst part about all this is, mom?

It's that it hurts me so much.

The thing with dad and wherever the fuck he went,

but he'll never know I loved him.

For coffee.

Will, wait.

Hello, Dr. Harris.

I must have been out of range.

You do?

No, tell me now.

Okay, thank you.

Are you okay?

No. I feel stupid and old.

Can you take me to the bus station?

Wait.

I'm sorry I missed your wedding.

-No, it doesn't matter. -Of course it matters.

You should know

that Will and I haven't lived together in a couple of months.

I told him if he started up again I would move out.

Which he did.

Thing is,

when Will is not high, he's a wonderful man.

Take me to him.

Oh, Rose...

I want to see where my son lives.

I'm sorry. He told me that I could never take you there.

Will's crazy now, Rose.

He doesn't trust me.

He doesn't trust anybody.

If I took you there, he would never speak to me again.

Then he'd have no one. He'd be alone.

-Hi there. -Hi.

This is the address of my motel.

You're still having regrets? Is that what this is? You're having regrets, mom?

No, Rose, you should not have followed me here.

You brought her here, Ashley? You fucking bitch.

No, baby, she followed me.

-Go away. -Rose, just leave. Please just go.

and you looked so happy when--

when you looked at that cowboy.

Mom.

Rose.

Hello, Max.

Can I kiss you?

Oh! Max, what are you doing?

I'm taking you home. I'm taking you home now.

Just stop. Stop!

Take it back.

Rose...

No, that belongs to you.

Take it.

Why?

I have nothing to give you.

[indian music]

[Karen] Hey.

What is it, hon?

I am

so

thirsty.

-I-- -Okay.

Okay.

Here, some water.

Do you see them?

See who, hon?

They're here.

Who's here?

They are.

They are right next to us.

What is it?

They are saying things.

Can you hear them?

Tell me what they're saying, Rose.

Rosarita.

Hi, it's me.

-Who are you? -Rose.

I'm Lilly.

And who are you?

I'm Karen. Ma'am, you need to leave.

-No, I need to do nothing. -Yes, you do.

I'm still in here. I am her friend.

She is very sick. I don't know who you are but--

-I can see that she is sick. -She is very sick. I need you to leave, please.

Don't have me jump over this bed.

I'm asking you nicely to leave this room.

I'm not leaving this room.

Karen, this is Lilly.

Lilly.

Karen. Karen, come on.

Karen, we're going to be friends after this.

Rose met a man.

I know, she told me.

And he loves her.

He loves her.

And she--

she loves him.

-Loves him. -I know.

She made me just promise to keep her here at home. She made me promise.

She loves him!

Okay.

Okay.

I told you we're going to be friends. Okay.

Rose, I really don't know what's going on with you.

But all I know is you got to get your ass up out this bed and go see your man.

Go see him.

Atta girl. Good girl.

Rose, you all right?

Are you driving me all the way to Max's yourself, Ernesto?

Yes, Rose.

Your friends called me.

Inside this envelope are instructions in case something happens to me, you understand?

Yes, ma'am.

-You okay, Ernesto? -[exhaling]

-You know I want to tell you something, Rose. -What?

When my son was fifteen years old,

you arrested him on DWI.

Oh, he-- he remembers you.

It was on the interstate outside of Truth or Consequences.

He spent two days in jail.

-Sorry. -No, no, no, it's okay.

He learned a big lesson.

Maybe you don't remember but when you came to court to testify,

you persuaded the prosecutor to recommend probation and expungement of his record.

That set my boy straight.

He quit drinking.

Isn't it strange

how things work out?

Yes,

it is.

Are you-- are you okay, Rose?

My son Will

used to wake up in the middle of the night screaming,

scared to death there were monsters under the bed.

I told him there were no monsters.

I was wrong.

Pull over.

Looks cold in there, Ernesto.

Yeah, it does.

Can you please remove my shoes?

Yeah.

Give me your foot.

You feel that?

Fuck it.

Hey, Rose.

Officer Jones.

It's Ernesto.

Officer Jones.

♪♪♪

Sorry to bother you so late, sir. Are you Max Hightower?

Yes, sir, I am.

Rose Jones was a friend of mine. She wanted you to have this.

-Rose? -Yes, sir.

I'm really sorry.
