- AT THIS HOUR,

WE'RE FOLLOWING A BREAKING NEWS STORY

FROM THE LOS ANGELES AREA.

LOCAL STATE AND FEDERAL AUTHORITIES

HAVE RAIDED A PHARMACEUTICAL FIRM

ACCUSED OF MANUFACTURING AND DISTRIBUTING

A MULTITUDE OF COUNTERFEIT VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS.

THIS RAID, OF COURSE, COMES AS THE CULMINATION

OF A YEAR-LONG INVESTIGATION

BEGUN BY CCNN'S OWN SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

KELLY FARRADAY.

KELLY, WHAT CAN YOU TELL US?

- THANK YOU, GARY.

I'M KELLY FARRADAY, LIVE IN WOODLAND HILLS,

WHERE MOMENTS AGO, POLICE RAIDED

THIS INNOCENT-LOOKING OFFICE BUILDING

IN A SEEMINGLY QUIET SUBURBAN INDUSTRIAL PARK

AND UNCOVERED WHAT MAY BE

THE LARGEST CASE OF COUNTERFEIT...

- HEY, RUTH. YOUR DAUGHTER'S ON TV.

-...SUPPLEMENTS IN CALIFORNIA HISTORY.

I'M STANDING IN FRONT OF THE FACILITY

WHICH, UNTIL JUST THIS MORNING,

WAS STILL MANUFACTURING THESEBOGUS VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS,

MANY OF WHICH HAVE ALREADY ENDED UP ON STORE SHELVES

ACROSS THE COUNTRY,

MEANING THEY COULD BE IN YOUR MEDICINE CABINET RIGHT NOW.

AS YOU CAN SEE,

POLICE ARE NOW ESCORTING THE ALLEGED RINGLEADERS

OF THIS OPERATION FROM THE CORPORATE OFFICES

OF DUNCROFT PHARMACEUTICALS,

A ONCE-REPUTABLE NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT MANUFACTURER.

- DOESN'T YOUR MOM LOOK PRETTY ON TV?

- WITH ME NOW IS DETECTIVE JIM BARTON OF THE LAPD...

- THAT'S MY MOM. SHE'S A ROTTWEILER.

WITH MASCARA.

- IF IT WERE NOT FORYOUR PERSISTENT INVESTIGATION,

THIS BUSTWOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED TODAY.

- CAN YOU HAND ME A HOOF PICK, RUTH?

-...MOST FRIGHTENING ASPECTS OF THIS STORY

IS, OF COURSE, THAT MANY OF USMAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN TAKING

THESE COUNTERFEIT SUPPLEMENTSFOR OVER A YEAR

WITHOUT REALIZING IT.

- WHAT MAKES A COUNTERFEIT RING LIKE THIS SO DANGEROUS

IS THAT NONE OF THE ITEMS PRODUCED HERE

HAVE EVER BEEN INSPECTED NOR APPROVED BY THE FDA.

- SO YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE GETTING.

- THAT'S RIGHT, KELLY.

- WELL, TODAY WE CAN ONLY HOPE

THAT BY BRINGING THESE CRIMINALS TO JUSTICE

THE PUBLIC CAN BREATHE A LITTLE EASIER

KNOWING THAT THESE COUNTERFEIT SUPPLEMENTS

WILL NO LONGER BE PRODUCED. - THANK YOU, DEAR.

- AS MORE DETAILSARE RELEASED, STAY TUNED TO CCNN

AND CONTINUE TO CHECK OURWEB SITE FOR MORE INFORMATION

REGARDING THE DUNCROFT PHARMACEUTICALS RECALL.

THANK YOU AGAIN, DETECTIVE, FOR YOUR TIME.

IN WOODLAND HILLS, I'M KELLY FARRADAY.

KELLY FARRADAY, ANCHORWOMAN, CCNN.

YOU LOOK GREAT.

YOU DO, YOU LOOK FINE.- YOU JUST SAID I LOOK GREAT.

- IT'S ABOUT TIME ROBERT PUT YOU BEHIND THE ANCHOR DESK.

HERE WE ALL ARE. WHO'S FIRST?

- I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY THIS.

- YES, YOU DO. - KELLY,

WE'VE DECIDED TO GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.

- YOU MEAN YOUNGER. - I NEVER SAID THAT.

BASED ON THE RESULTS OF A RECENT MARKET SURVEY,

WE FEEL SHE'LL SIGNIFICANTLY HELP OUR RATINGS.

- COME ON, ROBERT. MISS OHIO?

both: IOWA. - WHATEVER.

- C-CAN WE TALK IN PRIVATE, PLEASE?

SO...LET'S START AGAIN, SHALL WE?

HOW'S KAMILLA? - SAME AS ALWAYS.

MAD AT THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY MAD AT YOU.

- DO YOU THINK YOU COULD GIVE HER A HUG FOR ME?

- WHY DON'T YOU DO IT YOURSELF?

LAST WEEKEND WAS YOURS. YOU DIDN'T SHOW UP.

- AND I SENT HER AN EMAIL.

- IF YOU WANT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR DAUGHTER,

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN AN EMAIL.

ROBERT, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THAT BIMBO

AS AN ANCHOR!

YOU'VE ALREADY ANNOUNCEDTHAT I'M GONNA BE MADE ANCHOR.

YOU SENT OUT A PRESS RELEASE.

- I'LL SEND OUT ANOTHER PRESS RELEASE.

AND DON'T WORRY-- YOU'LL BE WELL-COMPENSATED.

- SHE IS NOT A JOURNALIST.- KELLY, THIS IS NOT A DEBATE.

THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE.

- THEN I QUIT.

- YOUR DECISION.

BUT DON'T YOU-- - HEY, HONEY.

IT'S A PROCESS.

- KAMILLA.

- MOM, WHY DON'T YOU GO WAIT IN THE CAR?

I'LL JUST BE A SEC. - I'M GONNA WAIT IN THE CAR.

- HEY, UH...

YOU LOOK...AMAZING.

- GOOD ONE, DAD.

I HAVEN'T SEEN HER LIKE THIS IN A WHILE.

- SORRY ABOUT LAST WEEKEND. - I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT.

I'VE GOTTEN USED TO YOU DISAPPOINTING ME.

- OUCH.

- BUT HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO MOM?

SHE MADE THIS NETWORK.

- KAMILLA, SHE QUIT, OKAY?

SHE MADE A BUSINESS DECISION.I MADE A BUSINESS DECISION.

DON'T TURN IT INTO SOMETHING PERSONAL.

- YOU WERE MARRIED.

EVERYTHING IS PERSONAL, DAD. WHY CAN'T YOU LEARN THAT?

- COULD I GET A HUG?

- DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

- WHO IS IT?

- MY NAME'S WALT.I WORK FOR YOUR GRANDMA RUTH.

I'M AN OLD FRIEND OF YOUR MOTHER'S.

WALT...

YOU COULD HAVE CALLED.

- IT'S IMPORTANT.

AND I NEED TO SPEAK TO YOU IN PERSON.

- IS IT MY MOTHER? WHAT HAPPENED?

- NOTHING'S HAPPENED. - THEN...WHAT IS IT?

- YOU KNOW RUTH WOULD KILL ME

IF SHE KNEW I WAS EVEN HERE, RIGHT?

SHE DON'T SEE SO GOOD ANYMORE.

AND DOC THORNE SAYS IT'S BAD.

IT'S GONNA GET WORSE.

SHE MAY LOSE HER SIGHT ALL THE WAY.

- NEVADA, THE SILVER STATE. YAY.

TRY TO HAVE A GOOD ATTITUDE, HONEY.

- SO WHAT'S THE PLAN WITH GRANDMA?

- I DON'T KNOW. - SELLING THE RANCH?

THIS IS MAIN STREET.

WALT MITCHELL, YOUR GRANDMA'S RIGHT HAND.

- CAREFUL, HONEY.

- SHE IS GLAD TO SEE YOU.

- YEAH. I CAN TELL.

SO HOW YOU FEELING, MOM?

- FINE. BUT DON'T LETANYONE SWINDLE YOU INTO THINKING

THAT GROWING OLD IS FUN.

- AND HOW'S THE RANCH? - WHY DO YOU ASK?

- WELL...THE DROUGHT.

- WE'VE HAD DROUGHTS BEFORE, BUT THIS ONE'S KILLIN' US.

- THE RANCH IS FINE. - NO, IT'S NOT, RUTH.

- WALT, EAT YOUR LUNCH.

THE MILLERS SOLD THE FARM.

- THE MILLERS?

THEY'VE BEEN HERE FOR GENERATIONS.

- WELL, THEY LEFT. LAST MONTH.

THEY SOLD TO THAT COWBOY CASINO GROUP.

THE DUNFIELD FARM WENT LAST WEEK.

NOW, THAT'S A SHAME.

I'M NOT SELLING, NO MATTER WHO PACKS UP AND RUNS.

- WHY DON'T WE TAKE A RIDE AFTER LUNCH?

- SURE.

- I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. WHERE DID ALL THE WATER GO?

WE USED TO GO SWIMMING HERE, REMEMBER?

- YEAH. ALL THE WELLS AROUND HERE ARE DRYING UP,

INCLUDING OURS.

YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?

THE HAY, EVERYTHING'S LOOKING PUNY.

WE JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH WATER.

WE CAN'T IRRIGATE IT ALL.

I CALLED THE GUY IN PROSPER TO COME CHECK OUT OUR WELL,

MAYBE DIG IT DEEPER.

THAT'S ALL I KNOW TO DO.

- WE NEED TO BE PRAGMATIC.

WITH MY MOM'S EYESIGHT

AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S GOING ON AROUND HERE,

MAYBE THE OFFER FROM THE CASINO GROUP IS...

JUST THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT TIME.

- YOU KNOW, I CAME TO SEE YOUIN L.A. FOR YOUR HELP,

NOT TO JUST GIVE UP AND SELL OUT.

- YOU'RE LETTING EMOTION GET IN THE WAY

OF THINKING ABOUTWHAT'S PRACTICAL AND RATIONAL.

- RATIONAL?

- I DON'T SEE HOW DIGGING A DEEPER WELL

CAN SOLVE ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS.

- HOW ABOUT FOUR GENERATIONS OF TRADITION,

THIS FAMILY'S ROOTS--DOES THAT MEAN NOTHING TO YOU?

- MOM, I JUST WANT TO--

- IF YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST SHOW UP HERE

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

AND TALK ME INTO SELLING THIS PLACE,

YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING.

- MOM...I KNOW ABOUT YOUR EYESIGHT.

- WALTER, I'M DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.

AS FOR YOU, YOUNG LADY,

YOU CAN GET BACK IN YOUR FANCY CAR

AND GO BACK TO YOUR FANCY LIFEAND LEAVE US THE HECK ALONE.

- GET YOUR STUFF. WE'RE LEAVING.

- YOU KNOW, MOM,

SOMEDAY YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO FORGIVE HER.

- FOR WHAT?

- I DON'T KNOW.

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S SO ANGRY.

- OH... - GRANDMA!

- LET ME HELP YOU. IT'S OKAY.

WHAT HAPPENED? - I MISSED A STEP.

I'M NOT SELLING THIS RANCH UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

IS THAT CLEAR?

- YES.

OKAY. LET'S SAVE THE RANCH.

- SO...WHAT'S THE PLAN?

- I HAVE NO IDEA. - WELL...

IT'S A START.

- GETTING ALL SETTLED IN?

- YEAH.

SO THIS USED TO BE YOUR ROOM?

- YEAH.

MY DAD MADE THIS FOR ME FOR MY FIFTH BIRTHDAY.

- HEY, MOM...LISTEN.

- THESE SOUNDS USED TO HELP MESLEEP AT NIGHT.

MAYBE THEY'LL DO THE SAME FOR YOU.

- YOU'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT, MOM.

- YOU THINK SO?

KAMILLA, HE'S REACHING OUT TO YOU.

- SO?

- HE'S YOUR FATHER.HE'S THE ONLY ONE YOU'VE GOT.

- IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE WAY HE LEFT IT.

YOUR FATHER WANTED YOU TO HAVE THIS RANCH.

- CAN WE PLEASE NOT GO INTO THAT AGAIN?

I LEFT TO PURSUE A CAREER.

- YOU MAY FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE,

BUT YOU'RE IN MY THOUGHTS EVERY DAY.

- THANKS.

- SEE YOU AT BREAKFAST.

- HERE WE GO. BLUEBERRY PANCAKES.

- HEY. - KELLY.

BLUEBERRY PANCAKES. YOUR FAVORITE.

THERE YOU ARE.

WELL, DIG IN.

- SO I MADE A LIST OF ALL THE THINGS

THAT NEED TO BE FIXED, REPLACED,AND CHANGED AROUND HERE

TO MAKE THE RANCH LOOK LIKE NEW AGAIN.

- I CAN'T AFFORD IT. - OH, I CAN, MOM.

SO PLEASE LET ME DO THIS FOR YOU.

- FINE.

GIVE US A MAKEOVER IF THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

BUT DON'T EXPECT PANCAKES EVERY MORNING.

- OKAY.

SO...BARN NEEDS A FRESH COAT OF PAINT,

AND ALL THE OLD FENCES NEED TO BE REPLACED.

- NO ARGUMENT THERE. FIRST THINGS FIRST, THOUGH.

WE GOTTA GET SOME WATER ON THIS RANCH.

A WATER ENGINEER WILL BE HEREAT 10:00 TO TEST THE WELL.

- OKAY. - OKAY.

- SEE, YOU GOTTA HAVE MORE. - MORE WHAT--MORE WATER?

- YEAH, AND MORE GALLONS PER MINUTE.

YOU'RE DOWN TO UNDER 10 GALLONS PER MINUTE.

THAT'S NO GOOD.

- CAN A WATER TABLE DRY UP? IS THAT POSSIBLE?

- THE UNCONFINED AQUIFER? I DON'T THINK SO.

WE COULD ALWAYS GO DEEPER.

- THAT'S GONNA GET EXPENSIVE REAL QUICK.

- 200 A FOOT.

- WHERE COULD ALL THE WATER BE GOING?

- WELL, IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE

AS A SEISMIC SHIFT IN THE BEDROCK.

- A DROUGHT'S TEMPORARY.

LOSS OF WATER SOURCE IS PERMANENT.

- WELL, FOR NOW, WE START TRUCKING IN WATER.

- HEY, GRANDMA.

- HI, HONEY. COME ON IN.

- WHAT'S GOING ON OUT HERE? - A QUILTING BEE.

LADIES, THIS IS MY GRANDDAUGHTER, KAMILLA.

14 GOING ON 40. - NICE TO MEET YOU.

- SMART AS A WHIP, AND SASSY AS THEY COME.

- JUST LIKE MY GRANDMA.

SO WHAT ARE THESE QUILTS FOR ANYWAY?

- TO RAFFLE OFF AT THE STREET DANCE.

EVERY YEAR, ABOUT THIS TIME.

- YES. WE RAISE MONEY FOR THE AUXILIARY.

WE GALS HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME.

- CAN I WATCH?

- OH, WE'D LOVE IT. YES, GET A CHAIR.

- YOU KNOW, THOSE CASINO PEOPLE CAME BY AGAIN YESTERDAY.

- OH, NO, NOT YOU TOO.

- WE'VE HAD TO SELL FARM EQUIPMENT

JUST TO MAKE ENDS MEET.

I'VE NEVER SEEN MY HUSBAND SO DEPRESSED.

- THAT'S TERRIBLE. - TELL ME ABOUT IT.

WE'RE THINKING OF... TAKING THE OFFER.

THE FAMILY FARM IS DEAD.

- OH, COME ON, SAM!

- YOU'VE BEEN WAY TOO SLOWTO RESPOND ON THIS WATER CRISIS.

DELAYS, DENIALS-- THAT'S YOUR STORY, SAM.

THAT MAKES YOU PARTLY RESPONSIBLE

FOR THIS WHOLE THING.

- ALL RIGHT, WALT, BEFORE YOU GET TOO CARRIED AWAY,

WE HAVE INSTALLED MONITORING DEVICES,

AND WE ARE CONDUCTING ANALYSISON VARIOUS UNTAPPED RESOURCES.

- SAM, UH...SAM,

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO GO ON RECORD

THAT WE SHOULD NOT AND CANNOT

SELL OUT TO THIS COWBOY CASINO GROUP.

- RUTH HANSON, CAN I JUST SAY AGAIN,

THIS MEETING TONIGHT IS NOT ABOUT THE CASINO.

- THIS MEETING IS ABOUT US, SAM, US AS A COMMUNITY,

WHAT WE ARE, WHAT WE DO, WHAT WILL BECOME OF US.

A TOWN AS SMALL AS THIS,

WE BECOME ALMOST LIKE FROM THE SAME FAMILY.

- YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. - THANK YOU.

SAM, WITHOUT OUR CROPS, WE HAVE NOTHING.

SO LET'S FOCUS ON THE CROPSGETTING THE PROPER IRRIGATION.

- THAT'S WHY I'VE INSTITUTED THE WATER RATIONING.

- BUT WHY ARE THE FARMERS DOING ALL THE RATIONING?

WHY DON'T THE GUYS AT THE FIRE STATION

STOP WATERING DOWN THEIR TRUCK?

- I AGREE...I MEAN, WE ALL NEED TO CUT BACK--EVERYBODY.

- AND YOU HAVE TO STOP WATERING ALL YOUR CARS

AT YOUR DEALERSHIP.

WHAT I WOULD LIKEIS FOR THIS YEAR'S BARN DANCE

TO BE A RALLY AGAINST THE CASINO.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

- THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE HERETO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT, PEOPLE.

WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE WATER.

- YOU THINK SHE'D WANNA GO FOR A RIDE?

- SHE'S NOT A MIND READER.

SO YOU MAY HAVE TO ACTUALLY ASK HER.

- HEY, KAMILLA, YOU WANNA GO FOR A RIDE TOMORROW?

- UM...

SURE.

- IS 10:00 OKAY? - YEAH.

- KELLY, WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

- HI, DOC THORNE. IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU.

WHEN DID YOU GO INTO POLITICS?

- A WHILE BACK. BETTER THAN BINGO.

HEY, WHY DID THOSE PEOPLE AT THAT L.A. TV STATION

LET YOU GET AWAY? WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTS.

- YEAH, THEY ARE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS, AREN'T THEY?

- THIS IS MY DAUGHTER. THIS IS KAMILLA.

KAMILLA, THIS IS DOC THORNE.

HE'S THE MAN WHO BROUGHT ME INTO THIS WORLD.

- HE'S MY DOCTOR TOO.

EVEN THOUGH WE'RE BOTH OLDER THAN MOSES.

- HEY, HEY.

IT'S A PLEASURE MEETING YOU, KAMILLA.

TAKING YOUR EYE MEDICATION, RUTH?

- SURE. WHEN I'M IN THE MOOD.

COME ON, KAMILLA. DOCTORS ARE SO BOSSY.

- I KNOW. SHE GETS WORSE WITH AGE.

- I HEARD THAT.

- HEY. - HEY.

THANK YOU. - FOR WHAT?

- FOR BEING HERE. WITH MY MOM.

ALL THESE YEARS, KNOWING THAT YOU WERE HERE

MADE ME FEEL LESS...GUILTY.

BECAUSE I KNEW THAT YOU WERE TAKING REALLY GOOD CARE OF HER.

THANK YOU. - YOU'RE WELCOME.

- I THOUGHT... MAYBE IF WE SOLD THE PLACE

YOU WOULD FEEL MORE... FREE.

- NO.

IT'S NOT SOME JOB I HAVE, KELLY.

IT'S MY LIFE.

- YEAH.

- GUESS I'LL CALL IT A NIGHT.

- YEAH.

SORRY.

- NO, IT'S JUST THAT BEING HERE

IS PUSHING ALL SORTS OF EMOTIONAL BUTTONS FOR ME.

SO IF WE COULD JUST--

- I UNDERSTAND. - GOOD NIGHT.

- GOOD NIGHT.

- IS THAT MY MOM... BUILDING A FENCE?

- MM. YOU BET.

SHE AND YOUR GRANDPA BUILT PLENTY OF FENCES WAY BACK THEN.

- CAN'T BELIEVE THE BEAUTY QUEEN USED TO BE A TOMBOY.

- OH, YES... SHE COULD ROPE A STEER

BETTER THAN YOUR GRANDPA.

- I WISH I HAD MET HIM.

HOW DID HE DIE?

MOM WON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT IT.- A HEART ATTACK.

BUT YOUR GRANDPA WAS... A GOOD MAN.

- AND WHO'S THIS? IS THAT YOU?

- THAT'S, UH...

THAT'S, UM...

YOU KNOW, I'M SO TIRED.

COULD WE LOOK AT THIS SOMETIME LATER?

- GRANDMA, WHAT CAN YOU SEE?

- I SEE A BEAUTIFUL, STRONG GIRL

FULL OF PROMISE.

- I'M SERIOUS, GRANDMA.

I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY SEE?

- WHAT I SEE...

IT COMES AND IT GOES.

SOMETIMES IT'S FOGGY... AND OUT OF FOCUS.

AT TIMES, ALL I SEE IS SHADOWS.

- ARE YOU SCARED? - I'D BE A FOOL IF I WASN'T.

- HOW CAN I HELP? - YOU ARE HELPING.

- HOWDY. - YOU'RE LATE.

YOU SAID YOU'D BE HERE AT 10:00.

IT'S HALF-PAST, AND I'M BUSY.

- HEY, I'M ONLY DOING THIS

BECAUSE MY GRANDPA PUT ME UP TO IT.

WANNA GO FOR A RIDE OR NOT?

- I DON'T KNOW HOW TO RIDE A HORSE.

- SO YOU TOO SCARED TO LEARN?

COME ON, YOU'LL RIDE, I'LL LEAD.

- LOSE THE TOOTHPICK.

- NEED A HAND? - I CAN MANAGE, COWPOKE.

NO LAUGHING.

- PUT YOUR FOOT IN THERE. GOT IT?

HOLD ON TO THIS.

SIT TIGHT, ALL RIGHT?

YOU OKAY?

- OKAY? I'M IN LOVE!

- WHOA...

LISTEN, WE JUST MET AND, UH...

- WITH RIDING THE HORSE, DOOFUS.

- LIKE THE VIEW?

- YEAH. IT'S NICE.

SO WHERE ARE WE?

- TOWNSHIP LAND.

- WHAT IS THAT?

- I DON'T KNOW.

NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE. LET'S CHECK IT OUT.

- ARE YOU SURE YOU WANNA GET THAT OPEN?

LOOKS LIKE A SEWER.

- THIS ISN'T AS EASY AS IT LOOKS.

- WHO SAID YOU'RE MAKING IT LOOK EASY?

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

- JUST A BIG HOLE WITH A BIG PIPE.

THERE'S A LADDER. - LET'S CHECK IT OUT.

- ARE YOU CRAZY?

YOU'RE REALLY GOING DOWN THERE?

- WATCH ME.

- WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE OKAY AND ALL.

- OH, THANKS...

SINCE I WENT DOWN FIRST AND ALL.

- A FLASHLIGHT.

THAT'S ONE BIG, LONG PIPE. I WONDER WHERE IT GOES.

- ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.

- HEY, WHERE YOU GOING? - THIS WAY.

YOU COMING? - NAH.

WHY WOULD I WANNA GO DOWN SOME OLD, DIRTY TUNNEL?

- WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

- WELL, YOUR GRANDMA, FOR ONE THING.

YOU'RE FIXING TO BE QUITE A PIECE OF WORK YOURSELF.

- YOU ARE A CHARMER.

SMOOTH.

- NOW WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

- I DON'T KNOW.

SNAKES...NUCLEAR WAR...

- OKAY THEN. - COME ON, STUD.

LET'S GO.

- YOU NEED TO BE GETTING READY. - READY? FOR WHAT?

- FOR THE BARN DANCE. - I NEED TO GET READY.

I'LL SEE YOU GUYS LATER? - ALL RIGHT.

YOU CAN SHOW ME THE TUNNEL TOMORROW.

NOW, GO ON. GO GET READY.

THAT'S A WHOLE LOTTA NERVE, WOULDN'T YOU SAY?

- WALT. - EXCUSE ME?

- HOW'D YOU GET REELECTED, ANYWAY?

HOW'D YOU DO THAT?

- I THINK THE GOOD PEOPLE OF PROSPER, NEVADA

KNOW WHO'S LOOKIN' OUT FOR 'EM, THAT'S HOW.

- OH, THE CASINO'S LOOKIN' OUT FOR 'EM.

WHY DON'T YOU LET ME GIVE YOUA FREE CHARACTER ANALYSIS,

MR. MAYOR. - GO AHEAD.

- MAYBE YOU SHOULD CALL IT A NIGHT.

- IT'S OKAY. WE WERE JUST LEAVING.

COME ON, WALT.

- I GOT MY GUN IN THE CAR.

- JUST DROP ME OFF AT THE BUNKHOUSE.

- SAM DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN.

SAM WANTS MONEY... AND HE WILL RUIN THE TOWN,

AND HE'LL SELL 'EM OUT.

AND UNFORTUNATELY,I CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE HERE.

- IT MATTERS TO ME. - I KNOW. IT MATTERS TO ME TOO.

- NO, IT DON'T.

- THINGS CAN'T ALWAYS STAY THE SAME, WALT.

- THAT'S A REAL SHAME.

I--UH, I'M SORRY.

- SO WHAT HAPPENEDBETWEEN YOU AND WALT LAST NIGHT?

- NOTHING. - NOTHING?

I KNOW WHEN NOTHING HAPPENS, AND THAT WAS NOT NOTHING.

- YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

- WHAT?

- NOTHING. - NOTHING.

- OKAY...

- WELL?

- THE PIPES AND PUMP WERE RECENTLY INSTALLED.

AND THE STORM TUNNEL.

THE BOTTLENECK APPEARS TO BE DIVERTING WATER

FROM THE UNCONFINED AQUIFER. - WHAT'S THAT?

- THE WATER'S JUST BENEATH THE SURFACE.

THE CONFINED AQUIFER IS FURTHER BELOW,

BENEATH HARDER ROCK.

- SO DIVERTING WATER... WHERE?

- I'M NOT SURE.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY DIVERTING WATER?

- STEALING WATER.

THIS IS WHY OUR WELLS ARE RUNNING DRY.

- WHO OWNS THIS LAND? - IT'S TOWNSHIP LAND.

THE LAND BEING HELD IN ESCROWFOR THE CASINO.

WE'RE GONNA BE BUILDING A BIG NEW AUTO MALL

NEXT TO THE NEW CASINO.

- AH, GREAT.I'M SORRY ABOUT WALT LAST NIGHT.

- AW, NO APOLOGY'S NECESSARY.

CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO SERVETHE WILL OF THE PEOPLE, RIGHT?

- RIGHT.

- I JUST WANT YOU TO GET THIS, 'CAUSE THIS...

- ON THAT NOTE...

I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW.

I THINK SOMEONEIS STEALING THE TOWN'S WATER.

- STEALING WATER? - YEAH.

I KNOW THAT SOUNDS STRANGE-- - WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?

- HAVE YOU BEEN OUT TO TOWNSHIP ROAD 5 LATELY?

- NO. WHY?

- THERE'S A HOLE IN THE GROUND

WITH A PUMPING SYSTEM AND PIPES, HEADED DUE WEST.

- REALLY?

- ISN'T THAT THE LANDYOU'RE SELLING TO THE CASINO?

- WELL, YEAH. NORRIS PROPERTIES.

YOU'RE NOT ACCUSING THEM OF--

- I'M NOT SAYING IT'S THEM, SAM.

BUT SOMEONE IS DIVERTING THE WATER.

- WELL, I'LL LOOK INTO IT.

- YEAH.

- I WOULDN'T RING ANY ALARM BELLS IF I WERE YOU, KELLY.

NO ONE WANTS TO JEOPARDIZE THIS CASINO DEAL...

DASH THE HOPES AND DREAMS OF THIS TOWN.

- MAYBE YOU COULD JUST DELAY

THE CLOSE OF ESCROW ON THE LAND SALE

UNTIL THIS WATER BUSINESS IS FIGURED OUT.

- I'M THE MAYOR, SWEETHEART, NOT GOD.

BUT I'LL LOOK INTO IT. YOU HAVE MY WORD ON THAT.

AND, HEY, IF I DON'T SEE YA BEFORE YOU GO BACK TO L.A.,

YOU HAVE A SAFE TRIP, HUH?

- THANKS.

SEE YOU, SAM.

IT'S FUNNY, 'CAUSE...

I DIDN'T EVEN WANNA COME HEREIN THE FIRST PLACE.

SO ARE WE FRIENDS?

MY NAME'S KAMILLA.

- SO...I HAVE A STORY FOR YOUR PAPER.

- ONLY IF YOU WRITE IT.

- OKAY.

IT'S ABOUT THE CASINO.

- THAT'S A TOUCHY SUBJECT AROUND HERE.

I THINK THE CASINO IS DIVERTING WATER FROM THE TOWN.

- THAT'S QUITE AN ACCUSATION.- I KNOW.

- YOU HAVE ANY PROOF?

- MAYBE.

- THIS PAPER SUPPORTED THE CASINO DEAL.

IT WAS GOOD NEWS FOR THE WHOLE TOWN.

I DIDN'T EXACTLY WINA POPULARITY CONTEST DOIN' IT,

PARTICULARLY WITHTHE OLD-TIMERS LIKE YOUR MOM.

WHAT'S THE CONNECTION

BETWEEN THE CASINO AND DIVERTING THE WATER?

- I DON'T KNOW.I KNOW THAT IT'S BEING DIVERTED.

- SEEMS LIKE AN EXTREME MEASURE

TO GET US TO GIVE UP FARMING FORA CASINO, DON'T YOU THINK?

- MAYBE.

MAYBE NOT. WHO'S AGAINST THE CASINO?

THE FARMERS AND THE RANCHERS.

TOUGH TIMES, TOUGH DECISIONS.

ISN'T THAT WHAT SAM SAID?

- WE HAVE TO EXPOSE WHO'S EVER BEHIND THIS

BEFORE THAT PUBLIC LAND TURNS PRIVATE.

- YEAH.

- LET'S KEEP THIS UNDER WRAPS FOR A WHILE.

AND YOU NEED TO GET MORE EVIDENCE

BEFORE WE CAN GO TO PRESS.

THANKS, ROBERT. - SEE YOU TOMORROW, HANK.

- HAL, DRESSING ON THE SIDE.

I CAN'T SEE.

- PAYIN' FOR THE FENCE, TRUCKING ALL THE WATER IN.

MEANS A LOT TO YOUR MOM.

AND TO ME TOO.

- YOU'RE WELCOME.

- AFTER WE'RE DONE WITH THESE,

I WANT TO MAKE ONE WITH PICTURES OF YOU,

GRANDPA, MOM, AND ME.

LIKE A PHOTO QUILT.

- HOW ARE WE GONNA GETPHOTOS ON THESE PIECES OF CLOTH?

- DON'T WORRY. I'M ALL OVER THAT.

- HOW'S THE RIDING?

- IT'S GOING GOOD.

I GOT BIG BEN UP TO A LOPE.

- AND CHUCK?

THAT'S GOING GOOD TOO.

- HE LOPES, DOES HE?

NO, HE DOESN'T LOPE, GRANDMA.

- I DON'T KNOW.

- HEY, DOC THORNE.

YOUR OFFICE TOLD ME I MIGHT FIND YOU HERE.

- THAT'S RIGHT. MY WELL-DESERVED BREAK.

EVERY MORNING, 10:00 A.M. SHARP.

CALL IT TRADITION.

- CAN I JOIN YOU?

- ABSOLUTELY, SIT DOWN.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

IT'S ABOUT THE TOWN COUNCIL.

- I HOPE I'VE GOT THE ANSWER.

- WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE

FOR THE TRANSFER OF TOWNSHIP LAND

TO A PRIVATE COMPANY OR INDIVIDUAL?

- THE SALE HAS TO BE CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY BY THE COUNCIL.

- SO YOU VOTED TO APPROVE THE SALE OF THE LAND

TO THE CASINO?

- WELL, NO, I-- I MISSED A FEW MEETINGS,

MY WIFE BEING SICK AND ALL.

BUT YOU KNOW SOMETHING, I'M NOT AGAINST IT.

I'VE BEEN TO RENO. I LIKE THE SLOTS.

- DO YOU THINK I COULD SEE A COPY OF THE TOWN'S BYLAWS?

AND MAYBE MINUTES OF THE COUNCIL MEETINGS?

- YOU'LL FIND THOSE IN THE RECORDS ROOM

OF THE COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE.- OKAY.

- YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

I REMEMBER THE DAY YOU WERE BORN.

32 HOURS OF LABOR.

I TOLD RUTH, "THIS ONE IS GONNA BE A BASKET OF TROUBLE."

- TRUE ENOUGH.

THANKS FOR THE CHAT. ENJOY YOUR BREAK.

- THANK YOU. I WILL.

- HI.

- OH, HELLO.

UH, WHAT MAY I DO FOR YOU?

- COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE? - YES.

- UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A COPY OF THE TOWN'S BYLAWS.

PLEASE.

AND ALSO, IF I COULD LOOK THROUGH

TOWN COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES.

- OKAY, JUST ONE MINUTE.

THERE'S ONE.

- NOW, KELLY, I AM EATING MY LUNCH.

SO IF YOU DON'T MIND-- - NO, I DON'T MIND.

I JUST HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

HOW CAN THE SALE OF TOWNSHIP LAND PROCEED

WHEN IT WAS NOT UNANIMOUSLYAPPROVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL?

- BOY, YOU SURE DO LIKE TO PLAY

THAT PEDAL ON THE ORGAN, DON'T YOU?

- I'M FREELANCING ON A PIECE FOR THE PROSPER POST.

- I THOUGHT YOU WERE ONLY IN TOWN FOR A WEEK.

- WELL, I CAN'T EXACTLY LEAVE TOWN

WHEN THE WATER CRISIS ISN'T RESOLVED, CAN I?

- AND WHAT DOES THIS LAND DEAL

HAVE TO DO WITH THE WATER CRISIS?

- I DON'T KNOW. YOU TELL ME.

- LOOK, THIS LAND DEAL

GOT THE MAJORITY APPROVAL OF COUNCIL,

AND THAT'S ALL THAT--- BYLAW NUMBER 15, SECTION B.

THE APPROVAL NEEDS TO BE UNANIMOUS.

YOUR SISTER BESSIE AND DOC BEATTY

WEREN'T EVEN PRESENT.

AND FLOYD SMITHERS VOTED AGAINST THE SALE.

- AS MAYOR, I CAN MAKE EXECUTIVE DECISIONS

FOR THE GOOD OF THE TOWN.

- WELL, FOR THE GOOD OF THE TOWN,

YOU NEED TO ADDRESSTHIS WATER DIVERSION ISSUE...

BEFORE ESCROW CLOSES.

- WELL, I WILL GIVE IT SOME SERIOUS THOUGHT.

AND YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT.

NOW, IF YOU DON'T MIND,

I WOULD LIKE TO FINISH MY LUNCH IN PEACE.

- ENJOY.

- WILL DO.

- HEY.

- HEY.

- SURE TAKING A LIKING TO BIG BEN THERE.

- YEAH, I LOVE BRUSHING HIM.

IT'S...THERAPEUTIC.

- FOR YOU OR FOR HIM?

- WHAT'S IN THE BAG?

- BLANKET, SANDWICHES.

STUFF FOR A REAL COOL PICNIC.

- YOU WANNA GO?

- YEAH.

- I REALLY LIKE THE WAY

YOU AND KAMILLA ARE GETTING ALONG.

- OF COURSE. SHE'S MY GRANDDAUGHTER.

- YOU AND ME?

- WHEN YOUR DADDY DIED, I NEEDED YOU.

ONE MOMENT, HE WAS GONE,

AND THE NEXT MOMENT, SO WERE YOU.

- MOM...I'M HERE NOW.

- AND WE'RE UP HERE BECAUSE...

- YOU'LL SEE. STOP COMPLAINING.

- WHO'S COMPLAINING? IT WAS JUST A QUESTION.

- TA-DA!

THE VIEW...THIS IS WHATI WANT TO SHOW YOU FROM HERE.

THE VIEW.

IT'S THE BEST VIEW OF THE TOWN,

THE VALLEY, AND THE HILLS.

- IT'S BEAUTIFUL, CHUCK.

REALLY.

MY DAD USED TO BE JUDGE AT THE NATIONAL PAGEANT.

THAT'S WHERE HE MET MY MOM.

MISS CALIFORNIA.

AND THEN, FOUR YEARS AGO,HE WAS AT SOME OTHER PAGEANT,

AND THAT'S WHERE HE MET MISS IOWA.

- SORRY.

- IT'S OKAY.

I DON'T THINK MY PARENTS

WERE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER FOREVER.

YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE JUST AREN'T.

- PEANUT BUTTER, JELLY, OR BOTH?

- BOTH, OF COURSE.

THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE POTENTIAL.

- POTENTIAL FOR WHAT?

- FORGET IT.

- THERE'S MY GRANDMA'S PLACE.

AND THERE'S YOUR GRANDMA'S RANCH.

YOU KNOW, BACK IN COWBOY DAYS,

THESE ROBBERS HELD UP A STAGECOACH HERE,

FIGURING IT'D BE EASY.

YOU KNOW, SMALL TOWN, NO ONE AROUND.

BUT THEY DIDN'T FIGURE ON THE SHERIFF.

- HE TOOK ON THE ROBBERS?

- SHETOOK ON THE ROBBERS.

- THE SHERIFF WAS A "SHE"?

- YEP. THERE WAS A BIG SHOOTOUT, AND THE ROBBERS FLED.

SHE CHASED THEM ALL THE WAY INTO THOSE HILLS

AND BROUGHT THEM TO JUSTICE.

ONLY WHEN SHE HAD THEM CUFFEDDID SHE REALIZE

SHE'D CAUGHT SOME BIG FISH.

SEE, THOSE BOYS WERE PART OF THE JAMES GANG.

- WOW. WHAT WAS HER NAME?

- HELEN BARNES.

YOUR GRANDMA RUTH'S GREAT, GREAT GRANDMOTHER.

- NO WAY.

- YES, WAY. MY GRANDPA TOLD ME.

HE KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TOWN.

- WELL, I FEEL LIKE I'M A PART OF HISTORY.

WHAT WAS THAT?

- LET'S GO.

YOU'VE TAKEN ENOUGH OF MY TIME ALREADY.

- YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE TO BE SNEAKING AROUND.

I'VE GOT A REPUTATION IN THIS TOWN.

YOU KNOW, WE COULD HAVE MET IN MY OFFICE.

- SEE, THAT'S HOW STUPID YOU CAN BE.

- NOW, I TOLD YOU TO WAIT TILL

THE END OF ESCROW TO START--

- I HAVE A TIMETABLE.

THIS DEAL GOES SOUTH,

YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT GETTING REELECTED.

- ARE YOU THREATENING ME?

- NIP THIS THING IN THE BUD, SAM.

YOU HAVE A LOT AT STAKE.

WE DON'T WANT SOME NEWSPAPER STORY

TURNING THE TIDE IN YOUR TOWN, NOW, DO WE?

- I'M ON IT.

- I'VE NEVER BEEN BIG FAN OF SAM'S.

BUT HE'S A POLITICIAN, NOT A CROOK.

- RUTH, SAM WOULD STEAL A HOT STOVE

AND GO BACK FOR THE SMOKE.

- CHUCK AND I SAW HIM ANDSOME OTHER GUY ARGUING TODAY.

- ABOUT WHAT?

- I COULDN'T MAKE IT OUT, BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE

THE OTHER GUY WAS THREATENING HIM.

- HEY, GRANDMA.

- HI, HONEY.

- WHAT ARE YOU READING?

- QUILTING BOOK.

- FUN.

YOU SURE DO HAVE A LOT OF GUNS.

- MOST OF THEM BELONGED

TO YOUR GREAT, GREAT GRANDMOTHER.

YOU THINK I'M CRAZY?

I COULDN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO HER.

- CAN I HOLD THIS ONE?

- SURE. CAREFUL.

- IS IT LOADED?

- NO, NOT FOR ALMOST 100 YEARS.

- GRANDMA BARNES MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING.

- YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.

HEH, SHE LOVED THIS TOWN.

SHE LOVED THE PEOPLE.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN MUCH ANYMORE.

- BUT SHE SAVED THIS TOWN.

CHUCK TOLD ME.

- THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.

WONDER WHO THAT COULD BE.

HELLO.

WHAT?

OH, NO.

HONEY, GO GET YOUR MOTHER.

- OH, HANK.

I'M SO SORRY.

- YEAH. ME TOO.

- SHERIFF...WHO DO YOU THINK COULD HAVE DONE THIS?

- I SURE DON'T KNOW.

- THIS'LL BE THE FIRST...

DEADLINE I'VE MISSED IN 15 YEARS.

- THEY JUST TRASHED THE PLACEFOR NO REASON.

- HANK...YOU'LL MAKE YOUR DEADLINE.

- REALLY? - YEAH.

WHAT NEWSPAPERMAN SAID,

"IF YOU CAN TELL IN YOUR GUT THAT SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT,

GET BACK OUT THERE AND KEEP DIGGING"?

WE'LL SET UP AN OFFICE AT THE HOUSE.

- GRANDMA?

- HI, HONEY.

- HI.

- WANNA TAKE A SHOT?

- ME?

- WELL, DO YOU OR DON'T YOU?

- I'M PROBABLY TERRIBLE.

- MAYBE. ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.

OKAY, NOW, TAKE YOUR--

TAKE YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER

AND PULL THE HAMMER BACK WITH YOUR THUMB.

TRY IT.

- I CAN'T DO IT.

- YES, YOU CAN.

I CAN DO IT, AND I CAN'T SEE.

HERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT?

WAIT A MINUTE, DON'T PULL THAT BACK YET.

ALL SET?

JUST LINE IT UP AND FOLLOW YOUR NOSE.

HEY...NOT BAD FOR AN L.A. GIRL.

- DID YOU KNOW THERE'S ACTUALLY A TERM NOW

CALLED WATER RUSTLERS?

- YOU MEAN LIKE CATTLE RUSTLERS?

- YEAH.

IT'S HAPPENING MORE AND MORE.

IN SOME STATES... IT'S A CRIME,

BUT IT'S DIFFICULT TO PROSECUTE.

AND IN OTHER STATES,

THERE'S NOT EVEN ANY LAWS ON THE BOOKS.

- HOW ABOUT THIS STATE?

- WELL, IT'S A MISDEMEANOR TO DIVERT WATER

FROM A TOWNSHIP'S PIPES,

BUT NOT FROM THE AQUIFER UNDERGROUND.

- WELL, THEN, IT'S NOT A CRIME.

- NO...BUT SOMEONEMUST HAVE OFFICIAL PERMISSION

TO DIG OR DRILL FOR A WELL ON COUNTY PROPERTY.

- I'M SURE NORRIS GOT SAM'S OKAY.

I MEAN, IF I WERE BUYING A PIECE OF PROPERTY,

I'D WANT TO TEST FOR WATER.

WOULDN'T YOU?

THEN AGAIN,

WE ARE DEALING WITH MAYOR SAM.

- YEAH.

RIGHT.

JACK NORRIS, JR.

"COWBOY. CORPORATE RAIDER.

"ACCUSED OF MANIPULATING THE POWER GRID

TO ARTIFICIALLY INFLATE ENERGY PRICES IN THE '90s."

- HE BEAT THAT RAP. - YEAH.

DID YOU KNOW, IF THIS LAND SALE GOES THROUGH,

THIS IS HIS FOURTH CASINO IN FIVE YEARS?

- YOU DON'T WANNA GET ON THEWRONG SIDE OF THIS GUY, KELLY.

HE'S YOUR BEST FRIEND TILL YOU CROSS HIM.

KIND OF LIKE RUTH HANSON.

- HI. - HEY.

- CAN I HAVE A COFFEE, REGULAR, TO GO, PLEASE?

- MM-HMM.

MAYOR.

YOU MIGHT WANNA BE MORE DISCREET

ABOUT THE NATURE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP

WITH MR. MORRIS. - RELATIONSHIP?

- EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT THE ARGUMENT THE TWO OF YOU

HAD OUT BY THE OLD WATER TOWER YESTERDAY.

- THE GOSSIP IN THIS TOWN IS OFTEN MORE RIDICULOUS

THAN IT IS RELIABLE.

- HAVE A NICE DAY.

- YOU TOO, DEAR.

- WHY ARE YOU DRAGGING ME OUT HERE?

- WE GOT TOO MANY PEOPLE SNOOPING AROUND.

I'M PUTTING THAT FENCE UP AROUND THAT HOLE.

TOO MANY TRESPASSERS.

- SO, UH, WE CLOSED THE DEAL ON THE ROBINSON RANCH HERE

AND THE COIL RANCH,

AND THE PAPERWORK WILL BE DONEON THIS ONE LATER TODAY.

- AND THAT'S THE ONLY PIECE OF LAND NOW

THAT'S STILL STANDING IN MY WAY?

- THE HANSON RANCH.

- I DON'T THINK MY MOM'S GONNA SELL.

IT'S QUITE THE FENCE.

BARBED WIRE.

- WELL, IT KEEPS COYOTES OUT.

AND THE TRESPASSERS.

I DO HATE VANDALISM.

- OH.

- KELLY. - SAM.

FUNNY MEETING YOU HERE. SMALL WORLD.

- SMALL TOWN.

- KELLY GRANT,

YOU'RE EVEN PRETTIER IN PERSON.

LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF.

- YOU'RE JACK NORRIS, JR.

- IT'S AN HONOR.

- AREN'T YOU, UH,

JUMPING THE GUN A LITTLE HERE ON THE FENCE?

ESCROW HASN'T EVEN CLOSED YET.

- WELL, IT'S GOING TO, ON FRIDAY.

A COUPLE DAYS.

- WHAT'S THIS?

- JUST CHECKING THE GROUNDWATER.

SEE HOW FAR IT GOES.

IT'S ALL RIGHT. I GOT THE MAYOR'S OKAY.

- HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?

WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF WATER. THE AQUIFER'S DRYING UP.

- WELL, THAT JUST MEANS WE GOTTA GO A LITTLE DEEPER,

DOESN'T IT?

- IS THAT ALL YOU'RE DOING?

KELLY GOT SOME CRAZY RUMOR

THAT YOU AND I WERE FIGHTING YESTERDAY.

- SAM...YOU'RE AN ELECTED OFFICIAL.

CAN'T YOU AT LEAST PRETEND TO BE NEUTRAL?

YOUR CONSULTING WITH MR. NORRIS

COULD BE CONSTRUED AS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

- WELL, MY INTERESTS ARE SOLELY

FOR THE GOOD OF THE COMMUNITY.

- I'M SURE.

I WAS HOPING YOU COULD MAKE SOME TIME FOR ME

TO DO A SIT-DOWN INTERVIEW.

I'M DOING A STORY FOR THE PROSPER POST.

- ISN'T THAT THE PAPER WHOSE OFFICE WAS DESTROYED?

- YEAH, THAT'S THE ONE.

PAPER HASN'T MISSED A DEADLINEIN 15 YEARS.

- WELL, I LIKE YOUR SPIRIT.

I'M GONNA MAKE SOME TIME FOR YOU.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW. - THANK YOU.

- OH, UM...

ANY NEWS ON THAT WATER DIVERSION BUSINESS?

- OH, I'M STILL WAITING

ON THE REPORT FROM THE ENGINEER.

- OH. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN BUILDALL THE FENCES YOU WANT,

MR. NORRIS...

BUT I THINK THERE'S GONNA BE SOME RED FACES

WHEN THIS DEAL GETS SHOT DOWN

AT THE TOWN COUNCIL MEETING.

- I NEVER LIKED HER.

CHECK IT OUT, GRANDMA.

BIG BEN ACTUALLY LIKES ME.

- I HAVE A PRESENT FOR YOU.

- GRANDMA.

- YOU LIKE IT?

- YEAH.

- HERE, I'LL TAKE THAT FOR YOU.

YOU EARNED IT.

- HOW DOES IT LOOK?

- GREAT.

HOW ABOUT YOU AND I GO FOR A RIDE?

- REALLY?

- YEAH, LET'S GO.

I GOT SOMETHING I WANNA SHOW YOU.

HERE WE GO.

- IS THAT LATIN?

- SURE IS.

"DE MORTIUS NIL NISI BONUM."

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? - COURSE NOT, GRANDMA.

- DON'T SPEAK ILL OF THE DEAD.

THAT WAS YOUR GRANDPA'S IDEA.

- WHO'S CARL?

- CARL WAS OUR SON.

- I NEVER KNEW YOU HAD A SON.

- HE WAS STILLBORN.

THAT'S WHY YOUR MOTHER WAS SO PRECIOUS TO US.

I'LL LET YOU IN ON A LITTLE SECRET.

YOUR GRANDFATHER

MADE ME PROMISE ON HIS DEATHBED

THAT I WOULD NEVER SELL THIS RANCH.

- REALLY? - MM-HMM.

WITH GOD'S HAND GUIDING ME AND A LOT OF ELBOW GREASE,

I WAS ABLE TO KEEP MY PROMISE SO FAR.

I BET GRANDPA'S REAL PROUD OF YOU.

I HOPE SO.

I FEEL HIM HERE, WATCHING OVER THE PLACE.

HE'S WITH ME ALL THE TIME.

- WELL, I'M HERE TOO.

AND I'LL HELP YOU. I PROMISE.

- OHH.

OHH.

I WOULD LOVE NOTHING MORE

THAN FOR YOU TO TAKE OVER THIS RANCH AS YOUR OWN.

- ME TOO, GRANDMA.

- OH HO.

- WHAT'S WRONG, GRANDMA? - UH, NOTHING.

JUST, UH, SOMETHING IN MY EYE.

IT'LL BE OKAY.

WE BETTER GET BACK.

IT SURE FEELS LIKE RAIN.

- THE REINS! - WHOA, WHOA, STOP!

- PULL--KAMILLA!

- STOP! AAH!

- OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY--OH, MY GOD.

KAMILLA.

KAMILLA.

KAMILLA! KAMILLA!

OHH...

OH, MY GOD.

WHY DID I...

KAMILLA!

OHH.

[beep]

KELLY...KELLY, IT'S ME.

- OVER--OVER HERE!

OVER HERE!

OHH.

- MOM. MOM!- THANK GOODNESS THEY'RE HERE.

- OH, MY GOSH. KAMILLA.

- YOU'RE GONNA BE OKAY. - YOU'LL BE OKAY.

- MOM?

- OH, BABY.

- I'LL GET HER UP.

- LET'S GET HER HOME. - I GOT HER.

Y'ALL GET THE DOOR. I GOT HER.

YOU'LL BE OKAY. IT'S ALL GOOD.

- HONEY.

- I'M SORRY.

- MOM, DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP.

IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU BEING THERE,

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

- IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME,

SHE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

- WHERE WERE YOU GOING?

- I WANTED HER TO CONNECT WITH HER GRANDPA.

KELLY...

I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

WHEN KAMILLA FELL,

I COULDN'T SEE.

I COULDN'T SEE A DARN THING.

- WELL, PRETTY GOOD NEWS.

A SLIGHT CONCUSSION, BRUISING.

A BIT SHOOK UP, BUT OTHERWISESHE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

- OH...THANKS, DOC.

CAN I GO SEE HER? - ABSOLUTELY.

KAMILLA IS GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

BUT YOUR MOTHER...

IT STARTED WITH HER NIGHT VISION.

AND THEN HER PERIPHERAL VISION.

AND NOW... IT'S NOT GETTING ANY BETTER.

THINK YOU BETTER COME SEE ME.

- I'LL BE IN THE OFFICE IN THE MORNING.

THANK YOU.

- YEAH.

- HEY.

- HEY.

- IT'S A LONG NIGHT.

- REMEMBER THE OTHER NIGHT

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT TURNING BACK THE CLOCK?

- ACTUALLY...

YOU WERE THE ONE WHO USED THAT EXPRESSION, NOT ME.

- WELL...

- WELL, THE SPECIALIST SENT OVER THE RESULTS

OF YOUR LATEST TEST, RUTH.

I'M AFRAID THERE'S BEEN FURTHER DEGENERATION.

- OH, I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT.

- ARE THERE ANY TREATMENTS WE SHOULD BE CONSIDERING?

- YES, THERE ARE TREATMENTS, BUT THEY'RE RISKY.

AND I'D RECOMMEND USING A CANE.

- I HATE CANES.

- WELL...MY FATHER MADE THIS ONE.

AND, UH, YOU CAN HAVE IT.

AS A GIFT.

FINE.

I'LL USE IT AS A WEAPON.

- WELL, COME AND SEE ME IN A WEEK OR SO.

THEN WE'LL SEE WHAT'S NEXT.

- THANK YOU.

HELLO.

- OH...IT'S YOU AGAIN.

WELL, HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

- I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A MAP

OF THE WATER TABLE FOR THE CENTRAL VALLEY.

- IN ALL THE YEARS I'VE BEEN HERE,

NO ONE ASKED ME FOR THAT

UNTIL THIS MONTH.

HEH, AND NOW,

YOU'RE THE SECOND.

- WHO WAS THE FIRST?

- OH, SAM.

THE MAYOR.

- RIGHT.

- MS. HANSON.

YOU WALKIN' WITH A CANE NOW?

- WELL, IT'S NOT A WHITE CANE YET.

I CAN STILL SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU, SAM.

- YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP AGAINST HERE.

THAT CASINO'S GONNA SAVE THIS TOWN.

- THERE WILL BE NO TOWN IF THE FARMS DON'T SURVIVE.

OH! SORRY.

- HI, IS KELLY HERE?

- I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS.

- ROBERT FARRADAY.

- YEAH, I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

I KNOW EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE.

- I GOT SOME PHONE CALLS TO MAKE.

I'LL JUST, UH, WAIT BY THE CAR.

- YOU'RE GONNA SLOW THAT CAR DOWN

WHILE YOU'RE ON THIS RANCH, RIGHT?

- ROBERT.

- KELLY.

RUTH.

- OH! SORRY ABOUT THAT.

I'M STILL GETTING USED TO THIS THING.

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

- I WANTED TO DO THIS IN PERSON.

- DO WHAT?

- MAKE YOU MY NEW ANCHOR.

- WHAT HAPPENED TO MISS IOWA?

- SHE'S...NOT AN ANCHOR.

LET'S JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

- I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.

HEY, UM...

THERE'S A GUY.

JACK NORRIS, JR.

HE'S BUYING UP ALL THE LAND AROUND HERE

AND WANTS TO BUILD A CASINO.

- I'LL CHECK.

WHAT ABOUT THE ANCHOR POSITION?

- WHY DON'T YOU SPEND

SOME QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR DAUGHTER?

- DAD?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

- CAME TO SEE YOU.

YOU CH-CHANGED YOUR HAIR.

- I'M GOING NATURAL. - LOOKS GREAT.

THAT'S--THAT'S THE TRUTH.

- THANKS.

THIS IS CHUCK.

- CHUCK.

- MY...BOYFRIEND.

- BOYFRIEND?

- THIS IS MY DAD.

I STOPPED TAKING HIS CALLS,

BUT SINCE HE'S, YOU KNOW,

THE ONLY DAD I'VE GOT,

I'M THINKING... MAYBE I'LL FORGIVE HIM.

- DAD, THIS IS BIG BEN. MY BUDDY.

- HEY, BEN.

- GO ON, YOU CAN PET HIM.

- UH, NO, I-- I'M GOOD, THANKS.

- OH, COME ON.

YOU TELLING ME YOU'VE NEVER BEEN ON A HORSE?

YOU SCARED?

- OKAY, SO HERE'S SOME MORE INFO ON JACK NORRIS.

HE'S THE CEO OF A COMPANY CALLED NEPTUNE.

- WHICH IS A MAJOR INVESTOR IN THE CASINO PROJECT.

- NEPTUNE SPECIALIZES IN THE IMPORTATION OF WATER.

RUNS PIPELINES TO CANADA

AND IS DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGY

FOR THE DESALINATION OF SEAWATER.

- WELL, THE...WATER SHORTAGE IN CALIFORNIA IS SO BAD,

LONG BEACH IS BUILDING DESALINATION PLANTS.

- AND SOME COMPANIES ARE NOW SELLING WATER

TO OTHER CITIES AND TOWNS.

- WELL, WHO WOULD DO THAT?

- JACK NORRIS IS SELLING OUR WATER.

- HANK, GOOD NEWS.

I SOLD A COUPLE OF ADS FOR YOU.

LONGHORN COFFEE SHOP, FULL PAGE.

FLOYD'S GAS STATION, HALF A PAGE.

- WOW, THANKS!

HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

- ON THE PHONE, WITH MY QUILTING LADIES.

ONE'S MARRIED TO BILLY,

AND THE OTHER ONE'S DATING FLOYD.

- RUTH HANSON, I THINK WE JUST FOUND YOU A NEW JOB.

MANAGER OF OUR ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT.

- WELL, YOU CAN TALK TO KELLYABOUT MY COMMISSION.

- OKAY.

[beep] WE NEED TO GO...

IF WE'RE GONNA MEET WITH NORRIS.

ALL RIGHT, SEE YOU AT THE COUNCIL MEETING.

- KELLY.

KELLY, HOLD UP.

WHOA. STOP, FOAL. STOP.

ME AND THIS HORSE, WE ARE ONE.

- YEP.

- I ALSO GOT THE INFORMATION ON NORRIS.

NOW, HIS CASINO GROUP, NORRIS PROPERTIES,

HAS AN INVESTOR COMPANY CALLED NEPTUNE RESOURCES

OF WHICH HE'S ALSO CEO.

- YEAH, WE JUST FOUND ALL THAT OUT.

- AND DID YOU ALSO FIND OUT

HE CUT A DEAL WITH THE MAYOR OF BIXFORD,

WHO HAPPENS TO BE HIS BROTHER?

- BIXFORD-- THAT'S 20 MILES FROM HERE.

THEY HAD TO SHUT DOWN ONE OF THEIR MILLS

BECAUSE OF THE DROUGHT.

- THAT'S WHERE OUR WATER'S GOING.

- WHAT WATER?

- I'LL TELL YOU LATER. THANK YOU.

- WHAT DO YOU THINK HE'S GONNA SAY?

- I HAVE NO IDEA.

- YOU WANT ME TO COME ALONG?

- NO.

I CAN HANDLE HIM.

- SO YOU COME OUT HERE TO SAY, "GET OFF MY LAND"?

- THAT'S ONE WAY OF SAYING IT.

- MS. FARRADAY,

EVERY CASINO NORRIS PROPERTIES HAS BUILT

HAS IMPROVED THE LOCAL ECONOMY

BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS.

I CAN GET YOU ALL THE STATISTICS.

- I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.

- SAME COULD HAPPEN WITH TOWN OF PROSPER.

AND THAT'S WHY THE MAJORITY OF FOLKS,

INCLUDING THE MAJOR OF THIS TOWN,

SUPPORT THE CASINO.

IT'S A WIN-WIN SITUATION.

- WHAT DOES NEPTUNE HAVE TO DO

WITH CASINO CONSTRUCTION?

- WELL, THEY'RE DIGGING OUR WELLS,

UH, HANDLING ALL THE PLUMBING INFRASTRUCTURE

AND THE ENGINEERING.

- STEALING OUR WATER?

- THAT IS QUITE AN ACCUSATION.

- STATEMENT OF FACT.

- IS WATER PART OF THE PUBLIC TRUST,

OR IS IT PRIVATELY OWNED?

THAT IS A DEBATE I WELCOME.

OUR TIME IS UP.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMIN' OUT.

- OKAY.

LET'S HEAD BACK TO TOWNSHIP ROAD 5.

I WANNA GET SOME PHOTOS OF THOSE PIPES AND PUMPS

FOR THE NEWSPAPER.

LET'S SEE HOW FAR THE PIPES GO,

AND THEN WE CAN-- WHAT?

- I LOVE YOU.

I JUST HAD TO SAY IT.

SO THERE.

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING.

I JUST HAD TO SAY IT.

NICE.

SLANT DRILLING.

RIGHT INTO OUR WELL.

- GOT IT.

- OKAY.

WOW.

- HOW FAR DO YOU THINK THESE PIPES GO?

- I'D SAY ALL THE WAY TO BIXFORD.

[beep]

[beep]

- WHOA. - WHOA.

- LOOK AT THIS.

- YEAH.

THIS STUFF LOOKS BRAND-NEW.

HERE WE GO.

YOU GO.

- OKAY.

- LOOK AT THIS PLACE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS IS?

- I DON'T KNOW.

- HOLD THAT.

THERE'S SOMEBODY OUT THERE.

HEY!

- WALT...DO YOU HEAR THAT?

- YEAH.

- WHAT THE--

- IS IT OPENING?

- IT'S...STUCK!

HEY!

- HOW DO WE TURN THIS OFF?!

- UHH!

- HEY!

- LOOKS LIKE THIS IS THE ONLY OTHER WAY OUT!

- YOU'RE RIGHT!

I GOTTA CLIMB THAT POLE.

UHH!

- AAH!

- NOW WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

- WELL...

WE GOTTA WAIT.

WE'RE GONNA FLOAT...

TO THAT HATCH.

- CHANGE IS COMING.

PROGRESS...IT'S INEVITABLE.

BUT CHANGE IS NOT SOMETHING TO FEAR.

CHANGE IS SOMETHING TO EMBRACE!

MY CASINO PROJECT IS A MAMMOTH VENTURE.

IT'S MY LIFE'S WORK,

AND I DO NOT APPROACH IT LIGHTLY.

AND, YES, IT'S GONNA CAUSE CHANGE.

IT'S CHANGE FOR THIS TOWN,

CHANGE FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.

BUT WITH THAT CHANGE WILL COME PROSPERITY,

WHERE BEFORE, THERE WAS NONE.

AND WITH THAT CHANGE WILL COME OPPORTUNITY

FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU,

AND THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS NOT A GAMBLE.

THAT... IS MY PERSONAL GUARANTEE.

- GRAB IT!

- WALT...

- YEAH?

- I LOVE YOU TOO.

- YEAH.

I KNOW.

OKAY.

GAH!

UHH!

OKAY.

HYUH!

- NOW, TONIGHT, I ASK THIS COUNCIL

TO REITERATE ITS CONFIDENCE IN OUR COLLECTIVE

AND AUSPICIOUS FUTURE

BY GIVING ITS UNANIMOUS APPROVAL TO THIS DEAL.

I ASK YOU TO THINK OF NORRIS PROPERTIES

AS YOUR PARTNER--

- WHAT ABOUT NEPTUNE?

- KELLY? - MOM?

- WELL, AS YOU KNOW, NEPTUNE IS ANOTHER FIRM OF MINE

INVESTING IN NORRIS PROPERTIES,

INFRASTRUCTURE, ENGINEERING.

- ENGINEERING? THAT'S FOR SURE.

ENGINEERING THE WATER RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER US.

- OH, MS. FARRADAY...

- KELLY, YOU CAN'T JUST COME IN HERE--

- THIS MAN IS THE REASON OUR FARMS

AND OUR BUSINESSES ARE FAILING.

- DO I HAVE TO HAVE YOU REMOVED?

- YOU LAY A HAND ON MY DAUGHTER,

AND I'LL KICK YOUR BOTTOM.

- QUIET DOWN, EVERYBODY.

KELLY, YOU'LL HAVE YOUR CHANCE TO SPEAK

ONCE MR. NORRIS IS FINISHED.

MR. NORRIS, WILL YOU PLEASE CONTINUE?

- THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS.

IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN PROGRESS,

I KNOW THE PEOPLE OF BIXFORD

WOULD WELCOME THIS OPPORTUNITY

FOR GROWTH AND PROSPERITY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I TRUST YOU WILL MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION.

- NOW, KELLY.

- MR. NORRIS IS RIGHT ABOUT BIXFORD...

HIS BROTHER BEING THE MAYOR AND ALL.

BUT E TRUTH IS THAT BIXFORD NEEDS WATER.

AND OUR TOWN'S WATER TABLE

IS THE LINCHPIN TO THIS CASINO DEAL.

MR. NORRIS'S COMPANY NEPTUNE

HAS ALREADY BEGUN DIVERTING PROSPER'S WATER TO BIXFORD.

AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY OUR WELLS ARE DRYING UP.

MR. NORRIS IS A CRIMINAL,

A-AND IF WE AGREE TO HIS CASINO,

THEN WE ARE PLAYING RIGHT INTO HIS HAND

AND UNDERMINING OUR OWN COMMUNITY.

- ALL RIGHT, NOW, KELLY, THAT'S QUITE AN ACCUSATION.

- MS. FARRADAY, THIS IS CHARACTER ASSASSINATION.

- YEAH, I THINK WE'VE HEARD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH FROM YOU.

- GRANDMA!

- I AM A BLIND LADY WITH A GUN.

YOU JUST NEED TO SIT THERE, BE QUIET,

AND LISTEN TO WHAT MY DAUGHTER HAS TO SAY.

- IT'S ALL TRUE.

MR. NORRIS HAS BEEN STEALING OUR WATER

IN ORDER TO DRIVE US OUT OF OUR HOMES

AND MAKE WAY FOR HIS CASINO.

AND I HAVE THE PHOTOS

AND THE WET CLOTHES TO PROVE IT.

AND YOU CAN READ ALL ABOUT ITIN TOMORROW'S POST.

COMING BACK TO PROSPER HAS MADE ME REALIZE

HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO PRESERVE THIS TOWN'S WAY OF LIFE.

MY MOTHER'S GREAT GRANDMOTHER,

THE INDOMITABLE SHERIFF HELEN BARNES,

ONCE SAVED THIS TOWN FROM THIEVES.

AND I ASK YOU ALL TO SAVE THIS TOWN ONCE AGAIN.

AND I ASK THE COUNCIL

TO RESCIND THIS LAND DEAL WITH MR. NORRIS.

AND IF WE DON'T...

TOMORROW, ESCROW WILL CLOSE.

AND OUR TOWN OF PROSPER, AS WE KNOW IT...

WILL BE HISTORY.

MR. NORRIS, I KNOW THAT YOU'RE A LITIGIOUS MAN,

BUT I GUARANTEE YOU, THE PEOPLE OF PROSPER

WILL HOLD YOU PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE

FOR THE LOSSES THAT THEY HAVE INCURRED

AS A RESULT OF YOUR STEALING THEIR WATER

FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL GAIN.

- I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.

MS. FARRADAY, WELL PLAYED.

- THEY'RE ALL ROTTEN.

- THIS IS OUR LIVES. THIS IS OUR TOWN.

- AND THERE'S ONE MORE THING.

DOES THIS COUNCIL REALIZE THAT...

OUR MAYOR... SAM BRIDGEWATER...

IS ON THE PAYROLL AT NEPTUNE?

SAM HAS BEEN GOING ALONG WITH THE CASINO DEAL

AND KNOWINGLY ASSISTINGIN THE DIVERSION OF OUR WATER.

- I CAN EXPLAIN.

- SHUT UP, SAM.

- IN LIGHT OF THESE NEW DEVELOPMENTS,

I MOVE THAT WE... TABLE THIS MOTION.

AND THEREBY NULLIFY THIS TRANSACTION

WITH NORRIS PROPERTIES.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

all: AYE!

- IT'S UNANIMOUS. THE MOTION CARRIES.

THE CASINO DEAL IS DEAD.

- THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.

- SORRY I'M LATE.

DID I MISS ANYTHING?

IT DIDN'T GO SO WELL.

- WELL, GRANDMA RUTH GOT YOU OUT BRANDING CATTLE YET?

- NOT YET.

- NO? SHE CAN DO IT. I'M NOT KIDDING.

- OH, YEAH. - SHE'S A STRONG WOMAN.

- MM-HMM.

I KNOW.

- HEY. READY TO GIVE YOU AN ANSWER.

- AND? - NO.

- CAN I ASK WHY?

- REDISCOVERING WHAT I LEFT BEHIND.

AND THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO ME... AND KAMILLA.

WE BELONG HERE, TO TAKE CARE OF THE RANCH AND MY MOTHER.

- OKAY.

EVERY SECOND WEEKEND.

- I PROMISE.

- AND YOU'LL TAKE MY CALLS.

- YEAH, I'LL TAKE YOUR CALLS.

- YOU PROMISE? - I PROMISE.

- I LOVE YOU. - I LOVE YOU TOO, DAD.

- BE GOOD.

- YOU TOO.

- YOBE GOOD.

- BYE, DAD!

- BYE!

- I'M GONNA GO TELL GRANDMA. - OKAY.

- SO YOU GONNA TAKE THAT JOB?

- WHAT DO YOU THINK?

- AH, THERE YOU ARE.

BEAUTIFUL NIGHT. - MM-HMM.

I WAS SO PROUD OF YOU TONIGHT.

YOUR FATHER WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD TOO.

- THINK SO?

- I KNOW SO.

- I MISS HIM.

STILL.

- YEAH.

ME TOO.

- I'M REALLY GLAD I CAME.

- I LOVE YOU.

- I LOVE YOU TOO, MOM.
