I'M BASICALLY JUST LOOKING AROUND THE AREA,

SEEING WHAT ALL KINDS OF ANIMALS AND CREATURES ARE THERE.

I WOULD MUCH RATHER FACE A GIANT BEAR IN ALASKA

THAN I WOULD THE PREDATORS HERE.

AND THEN SNAKES,

THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE ARMS OR LEGS.

THIS STUFF HERE COULD BE COW, TERMITE MAYBE,

A GIANT ANTEATER CRAWLING UNDER THAT.

THIS THINGS ARE TRAILS FROM WHERE MOLES HAVE BEEN DIGGING.

MAN, LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A TON OF THEM,

WHICH IS WHY I CAN FEEL A BIT OF A SPRING

IN THE GROUND ITSELF.

EXTREME!

ON THIS EPISODE OF "ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE"...

SLOW DOWN. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE GOING THIS FAST.

DID YOU SEE THAT ONE-HAND I DID?

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!

...AS THE BROWNS RECOVER

FROM THE WORST FLOOD IN DECADES...

GOOD ENOUGH TO BATHE IN. CAN I JUST GET IN THE CONCRETE?

...THE FAMILY STRUGGLES TO ADAPT TO THEIR NEW SURROUNDINGS.

ANYBODY HOME?

BUT WITH FATHER BILLY DEMANDING MORE FROM THE WOLF PACK...

I'M GONNA HAVE YOU KIND OF IN CHARGE OF THE HOLES.

I'M MOVING MY END.

LET GO OF IT. OKAY.

I CAN'T TAKE IT.

...EACH SIBLING WILL BE PUT TO THE TEST.

- DON'T PUSH DOWN YET. - OH, MY GOD.

- WHOA. WHOA. - AAH!

BORN AND RAISED IN THE ALASKAN BUSH...

LET'S GO! TIME TO WAKE UP.

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE BUSH.

...THE BROWN FAMILY OF NINE

HAVE RESETTLED IN THE MOUNTAINS OF THE NORTHWEST.

IT'S A MIRACLE, IS WHAT IT IS.

BUT THE FIGHT TO LIVE OUTSIDE SOCIETY...

YOU GOT IT.

...IS HARDER THAN EVER.

HIT IT AGAIN!

THAT'S THE WAY YOU DO IT IN THE BUSH.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS. THIS IS OUR MOMENT, RIGHT?

THIS IS THE LIFE THEY CHOSE.

HOME SWEET HOME.

THAT'S THE WAY WE ROLL! HA!

I THINK WE MIGHT'VE FINALLY FOUND IT.

THESE ARE "ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE."

- ENJOY BEING MY PASSENGER. - YEAH.

I'M THE DRIVER. YOU'RE THE NAVIGATOR.

OKAY.

FEELS GOOD OVER HERE, DOESN'T IT?

AH!

NEVER REALLY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TEACH GABE HOW TO DRIVE.

TURN YOUR WINDSHIELD WIPERS OFF, GABE.

OH. HOW?

FLIP THAT LITTLE SWITCH 'TIL THE GO OFF.

I CAN'T...

AND EVERY TIME I TRIED, IT'S BEEN A LITTLE RADICAL.

CHECK YOUR MIRRORS. COME ON.

CHECKING MIRRORS. HOW DO I ADJUST MY MIRRORS?

YOU SHOULDN'T -- YEAH, THOSE ARE...

WELL, DON'T I HAVE TO -- WHAT?

I'VE DRIVEN BOATS AND STUFF BEFORE, YOU KNOW.

I'M GOOD WITH A SKIFF.

WHICH ONE'S RIGHT?

I'M THINKING THAT I CAN HANDLE THIS CAR,

LIKE, IT'S NOT GONNA BE THAT BIG A DEAL.

BUT THEN I GET IN,

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ANYTHING DOES.

WHICH ONE'S THE THING THAT -- THAT GO THING?

ON THE BOTTOM.

THIS THINGY?

YEAH, PUSH IT.

LITTLE. LITTLE!

DEFINITELY TURN WHILE YOU'RE GIVING IT GAS.

YOU SEE, THE OBJECT IS TO KEEP

THE FRONT OF THIS CAR ON THE ROAD.

SLOW DOWN. SLOW DOWN. SLOW DOWN.

BRAKE. WHOA, GABE. GABE, STOP. STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP.

YEAH. NOW LISTEN.

THAT WAS REALLY EXCITING, TO BE HONEST.

OKAY. LESSON'S OVER. I'M GONE.

GETTING IN THE CAR WITH GABE

IS KIND OF A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT IN A PARKING LOT.

TAKE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS OFF, JELLY-HEAD.

TURN 'EM OFF.

WE'RE ON ROADS THAT HAVE CLIFFS,

AND THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ROOM FOR MISTAKE.

AND HE'S GOT AN INHERENT THING, HE WANTS TO GO FAST.

SLOW DOWN. SLOW DOWN.

YOU DON'T NEED TO BE GOING THIS FAST.

SLOW DOWN. OKAY.

THAT -- DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE. OKAY. THAT WAS TOO CLOSE.

WHY -- ARE YOU KIDDING ME? OKAY.

STAY ON THE LEFT HERE.

THAT'S A DROPOFF CLIFF OVER HERE.

DON'T MESS WITH IT. GOTCHA.

I DO NOT WANNA GO DOWN THERE. NO.

CARS AND BOATS DRIVE A LOT ALIKE, YOU KNOW,

IN THE WAY OF YOU HAVE A MECHANISM THAT TURNS THEM...

SLOW DOWN. TURN, TURN.

WAIT, WAIT.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR BLINKER RIGHT NOW.

LET'S JUST WORRY ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR.

...BUT A SHIP'S WHEEL, YOU'LL BE LIKE...

...AND THEN IT'LL START TO MOVE A LITTLE.

IN A CAR, IT'S LIKE...

AND IT GOES LIKE THAT.

OH. SLOW DOWN, NOW.

DID YOU SEE THAT ONE-HAND I DID?

SLOW DOWN. SLOW DOWN, THERE.

SO IT'S HARD TO KINDA GAUGE THAT.

WHOA. WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!

OH, MY GOSH, WHOA.

OH, LORD.

NOBODY DIED.

IT'S SPRING IN NORTHERN WASHINGTON,

AND AFTER THE REGION'S WORST WINTER IN DECADES,

THE BROWN FAMILY SET ASIDE WORK ON THEIR BARN...

- IS IT JUST GETTING DEEPER? - I THINK SO!

...TO HELP LOCALS DEFEND AGAINST A NATURAL DISASTER.

THIS FEELS LIKE ONE GREAT BIG FAMILY OUT HERE.

PUT MORE BAGS RIGHT ON TOP OF HERE.

GOTCHA, THEN BUILD HIGHER. GREAT JOB, GUYS.

NOW, AFTER TWO WEEKS OF THE ROAD SYSTEM BEING COMPROMISED...

THE FLOODWATERS HAVE SUBSIDED,

OPENING ACCESS TO THE MOUNTAIN FOR A MUCH-NEEDED WELL TRUCK,

WHICH WILL HELP PUSH ALL OF THE FAMILY'S PROJECTS FORWARD.

THAT'S OUR WATER!

YES!

LOOK AT THAT.

I HAVE THIS THING WITH, LIKE, A BUNNY INTUITION

WHERE I CAN SENSE WHEN THEY'RE AROUND.

I CAN HARDLY WAIT UNTIL -- HEY, HO, GRAB HER.

OH, SHE'S RUNNIN'. GRAB HER, RAIN. GRAB HER.

SHE'S RUNNIN'.

BACK DOWN-MOUNTAIN,

BEFORE WORK ON THE BARN SITE BEGINS FOR THE DAY,

BIRD AND RAIN SPEND TIME WITH PET RABBITS

ADOPTED FROM A LOCAL FARMER.

SO, I CAN HARDLY WAIT

UNTIL WE HAVE OUR BUNNIES IN OUR HOUSE.

BIRDY, I'M NOT LIVING IN "OUR" HOUSE.

RAIN AND I, ESPECIALLY WHEN, LIKE, RAIN WAS YOUNGER

AND I WAS EVEN A LOT YOUNGER,

WE'VE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT HAVING, LIKE, A SHARED HOUSE

AND A SHARED EVERYTHING.

LATELY, YOU KNOW, SHE'S MADE IT MORE AND MORE CLEAR

THAT SHE DOESN'T REALLY WANT THAT ANYMORE.

LIKE, I ALWAYS ENVISIONED, LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE LIVE TOGETHER

AND, LIKE, YOUR HUSBAND COMES OVER

AND, LIKE, OF COURSE, HE LIVES WITH US

BUT, LIKE, THEN HE GOES TO HIS ROOM.

GOOD LUCK TRYING TO FIND A GUY OR TWO GUYS

THAT ARE GONNA WANNA, YOU KNOW...

INSEPARABLE SISTERS? ...PROBABLY MARRY BOTH OF US.

WHEN BIRD AND I WERE KIDS,

WE HAD THIS DREAM THAT WHEN WE GOT MARRIED

THAT WE WOULD JUST LIVE ON THIS GIANT BED

WHERE IT'D BE LIKE BIRD AND I

AND, LIKE, OUR HUSBANDS, AND, LIKE, OUR KIDS.

I THINK PART OF BIRD STILL WANTS THAT TO HAPPEN.

UM, I DON'T.

IF I WANNA SLEEP IN MY BED WITH MY HUSBAND,

WHICH I WILL, IN OUR OWN ROOM, I WILL.

I FEEL LIKE YOU THINK ABOUT ME...

IN YOUR MEMORY AS, LIKE, 7-YEAR-OLD LITTLE RAIN.

AND I'M NOT HER ANYMORE.

YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY BABY SISTER.

OKAY, THANKS. I APOLOGIZE.

MY ENTIRE LIFE, PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY BIRDY,

HAS ALWAYS TREATED ME AS THIS FRAGILE THING

THAT EVERYBODY HAS TO TAKE CARE OF.

AND BEING THE YOUNGEST, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN FIGHTING

TO JUST, YOU KNOW, AS I SAY, JUST BE A PERSON.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO LOOK AT ME AS YOUR LITTLE SISTER ANYMORE.

OH, YES.

I WANT YOU TO JUST LOOK AT ME LIKE YOUR SISTER.

♪♪

QUITE A SPELL.

AMEN.

BEEN A LOT OF MILES.

OH, YEAH.

LOVED EVERY MILE, TOO.

THIS IS QUITE A MONUMENTAL PLACE, ACTUALLY.

DON'T YOU FEEL THAT IT'S TIME FOR...

UH-OH.

WHAT IS IT, BABY?

THE KIDS NEED TO REALIZE IT'S THEIRS.

I KNOW THAT.

AM AND I FOUGHT FOR THIS DREAM FOR A LONG TIME,

OUR WHOLE LIVES.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN LONG ROAD.

YOU KNOW, TIME PASSES,

AND THAT'S JUST WHAT HAPPENS IN LIFE.

AND, UH, WE'VE REACHED THE POINT NOW

THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE FUTURE,

AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT IN THE ASPECT

THAT YOU NOT BEING IN IT, YOU KNOW?

CYCLE OF LIFE STUFF, BOY, GETS US ALL.

IT'S ONE THING TO BUILD SOMETHING WITH YOUR OWN HANDS,

YOU KNOW, ANOTHER THING TO BUILD SOMETHING

WITH YOUR OWN HANDS WITHOUT DAD OR MOM.

THIS BUILDING WE'RE DOING NOW WITH THE BARN, IT'S UH...

WELL, IT'S THE BIGGEST THING WE'VE EVER BUILT.

IT'S ALL GOT TO COME TOGETHER, AND IT'S --

IT'S GONNA NEED THE CONTRIBUTION OF EVERY KID

AND EVERYTHING THAT EACH KID KNOWS.

AND EACH KID'S GONNA HAVE TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW WITH IT.

NOW THE ENTIRE DREAM,

IT'S STARTING TO PASS TO THE KIDS.

YOU SEE THIS LITTLE EMPTY FLAT SPOT?

MM-HMM.

IT'S GONNA BE A BEAUTIFUL BARN SOON.

I CAN ALREADY SEE IT.

VICTORY!

AFTER WEEKS OF CLEARING,

THE FAMILY HAS LEVELED MORE THAN 10,000 SQUARE FEET

OF RAW MOUNTAINSIDE

TO PREPARE A BUILD SITE FOR THEIR 48-FOOT POLE BARN.

THAT'S HOW YOU PULL A STUMP.

NOW, WITH THEIR FIRST LUMBER DELIVERY

ARRANGED FOR THE FOLLOWING DAY, BILLY IS PUSHING FORWARD

WITH THE NEXT STAGE OF CONSTRUCTION...

CONSISTING OF 28 VERTICAL PILINGS

SET THREE FEET INTO THE GROUND.

THE BROWNS WILL NEED TO DRILL A SERIES

OF CAREFULLY MEASURED HOLES USING A MECHANICAL AUGER.

THE HOLES DUG FOR THE PILINGS, THEY HAVE TO BE --

THEY HAVE TO BE PERFECT.

THIS IS THE TOTAL FOUNDATION OF THE BARN.

AND, UH, THE BARN IS GONNA HOLD A LOT OF WEIGHT.

IT'S JUST VERY IMPORTANT THAT RIGHT NOW WE TAKE TIME

WE DON'T REALLY HAVE TO MAKE 'EM PERFECT.

YEESH!

YOU'RE GONNA RUN THIS.

I THINK IT'S REALLY COOL THAT DAD TRUSTS ME ENOUGH

TO EVEN PUT ME IN A MACHINE LIKE THAT.

BUT, UH, IT'S THAT PRESSURE.

IT CAN, YOU KNOW, IT CAN FREAK SOMEONE LIKE ME OUT.

SEE HOW SLOW AND EASY YOU CAN DO IT?

LET HER DOWN.

YOU SEE THE ANGLE?

IF YOU THINK ABOUT THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT

AND YOU GOT MY KIDS LINED UP, THEY GET X'ED OUT PRETTY QUICK.

YOU DON'T PUT GABEY ON IT, WE'LL PUT IT THAT WAY.

BAM WOULD HAVE A FIT.

BEAR, ARE YOU KIDDING?

IT'S TEACHING RAIN WE REALLY DO DEPEND ON HER

AND I REALLY DO TRUST HER.

GO GET 'EM, GIRL.

IT WAS SOMETHING TO SHOW HER THE WAY TO CONFIDENCE

THAT SHE CAN DO THIS WHEN NO ONE ELSE KNEW HOW.

WHY IS IT BEEPING?

'CAUSE YOU SAT DOWN.

NOW HOLD STILL JUST FOR A SECOND, OKAY?

NO, I MEAN, REALLY. DON'T EVEN MOVE.

HANG ON JUST A SECOND.

MAIN REASON I WANTED YOU TO DO THIS PART

WAS BECAUSE YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT IT.

BEAR WOULD'VE ALREADY SAID, "I GOT IT, DAD.

BACK OFF," YOU KNOW?

AND HE'D BE OUT HERE TRYING TO POP WHEELIES IN IT

AND THE WHOLE BIT.

YOU TAKE EVERYTHING REAL EASY, ALL RIGHT?

I WANT TO DO MORE IN THE FUTURE FOR THE FAMILY,

AND THIS IS THE FIRST BIG JOB

THAT I'VE HAD THAT PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY DEPENDING ON ME.

OKAY, START IT UP.

IF I MESS THE HOLES UP, IF I DO SOMETHING WRONG,

THE ENTIRE BARN WILL BE MESSED UP.

START TURNING JUST A LITTLE BIT.

COME ON. MAKE IT SPIN.

MAKE IT SPIN. DON'T PUSH DOWN YET.

DON'T PU-- WAIT, WHAT?

-COMING UP...

- ALL RIGHT. CLEAR! ...RAIN IS TESTED AT THE HELM.

AND LATER...

-HANG ON. HANG ON, STOP. WE'RE LEAKING SOMETHING.

WE'RE STUCK ON THE MIDDLE OF A MOUNTAIN RIGHT NOW.

WE DON'T HAVE VERY MUCH WATER. WE ARE MILES FROM BASE CAMP.

COME ON. MAKE IT SPIN.

DON'T PUSH DOWN YET.

DON'T PU-- WAIT, WHAT?

DEEP IN THE RUGGED NORTHWEST FRONTIER,

THE BROWNS ARE BREAKING GROUND ON A NEW DREAM IN THE BUSH...

STRAIGHT FORWARD.

...BUT WITH CONSTRUCTION ON A 48-FOOT POLE BARN

BEHIND SCHEDULE,

YOUNGEST DAUGHTER RAIN HAS NO ROOM FOR ERROR.

SHAKE IT OFF. COME ON. SHAKE IT OFF, BE SERIOUS.

EASE DOWN. EASE HER IN THE GROUND.

PUSH IT IN. NOW, WHOA.

- OH, MY GOD. - WHOA.

NO ONE'S ACTUALLY EVER REALLY GIVEN ME

THAT MUCH RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE, AND IT WAS ABOUT TIME.

PULL UP ON IT. DON'T LET OFF ON THE AUGER.

KEEP IT SPINNING. MOVE UP A LITTLE BIT.

GET STRAIGHT ON IT. GET THAT THING STRAIGHT IN.

THAT'S IT, SEE?

OKAY, THAT'S GOOD.

NOW, ROLL IT OUT.

I THINK YOU GOT IT.

WAS THAT RIGHT THAT I DID THAT? DID I DO THAT RIGHT?

YOU DID IT. NOW SET HER DOWN.

THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT, I THINK, RAINY'S PROBABLY GONNA

GET A LITTLE SCARED HERE AND THERE,

BUT, UH, I THINK SHE'S GONNA PULL IT OFF.

YOU DID GOOD.

SEE, NOTHING TO IT.

OH, PLEASE.

AH, OKAY, THIS IS THE SPOT WHERE I SAW THE MOST OF THEM.

ACTUALLY, THERE'S SOME RIGHT HERE.

SEE THAT?

I'VE BEEN EXPLORING THE LAND QUITE A BIT,

AND I'VE FOUND MOLE HOLES.

ANYBODY HOME?

MOLES ARE LIKE A RODENT SPECIES.

-MOLES CAN ACTUALLY BE HAZARDOUS FOR FARM ANIMALS.

THE GROUND CAN GIVE OUT.

IF THAT HAPPENS TO A HORSE OR A COW,

IT COULD ACTUALLY END UP TO THE COW LOSING ITS LIFE.

ALL THE WAY UP THIS HILL, THEY'RE ALL OVER.

THEY'RE JUST LITTLE TRAILS WHERE THEY'VE DUG OUT AND LEFT,

LIKE, THEIR CARTOON-STYLE LINE BEHIND THEM.

THESE LOOK A LOT FRESHER.

'CAUSE, LIKE, THOSE OVER THERE, YOU CAN TELL THEY'RE PRETTY OLD

'CAUSE OF HOW DEEP THEY ARE.

THERE AREN'T MANY WAYS TO DEAL WITH MOLES.

THE NUMBER-ONE WAY TO DO IT IS TO SHOOT THEM OR POISON THEM.

SEE HERE? THAT SPOT THERE.

I WOULDN'T POISON A SMALL ANIMAL LIKE THAT

THAT'S JUST TRYING TO LIVE.

IT JUST SEEMS A LITTLE INHUMANE.

JUST LET ME KNOW WHERE Y'ALL WANT IT,

AND I'LL MAKE SOMETHING TO GET RID OF THE MOLES.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET THIS THING GOING.

OKAY, SO WE NEED TO --

I GUESS LET'S JUST START BANGING STAKES FIRST.

OH, IT'S NOT FUNNY.

YOU JUST PUT A TREE IN MY FINGER.

UGH, THAT WAS SO GROSS.

GOOD. OW, IT'S IN ME NOW! AAH!

AFTER WEEKS OF WORK TRANSFORMING A STRETCH

OF MOUNTAINSIDE INTO A LEVEL BARN SITE...

I THINK WE'RE ABOUT READY TO ACTUALLY START

DIGGING IN THE EARTH.

DO YOU SEE THE DRILL ON THAT? YES.

I CAN'T DO TWO HOLES THAT CLOSE TOGETHER.

I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT.

...THE STAGE IS SET FOR YOUNGEST DAUGHTER RAIN TO TAKE THE LEAD

AND BEGIN DRILLING HOLES FOR THE FOUNDATION.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT LEVELS

OF COMING INTO YOUR OWN IN THE FAMILY.

LIKE, THERE ARE DIFFERENT MILESTONES.

HOWEVER HIGH I SET THIS BAR

IS HOWEVER HIGH THE BAR'S GONNA BE SET

FOR, POTENTIALLY, THE REST OF MY LIFE.

WATCH OUT.

THE HOLE NEEDS TO BE CLOSER TO YOU.

YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?

I CAN'T GET A BITE.

OKAY. YOU MIGHT WANNA COME BACK A LITTLE FARTHER.

YOU KNOW, RAIN'S NEVER WORKED

A PIECE OF MACHINERY LIKE THIS BEFORE,

SO IT'S TAKING HER A LITTLE BIT TO KIND OF GET THE RHYTHM OF IT.

LITTLE PERFECTIONIST, THERE.

THERE WE GO.

IF THESE PILING HOLES AREN'T DUG DEEP ENOUGH OR CORRECTLY,

IT COULD JEOPARDIZE THE ENTIRE PROJECT.

LOOK AT THAT.

RIGHT IN THE CENTER -- SMACK-DAB!

SHE'S CRAZY.

CHEW IT UP, GIRL. CHEW IT UP.

ALL RIGHT, CLEAR!

YOU'RE DOING GOOD.

YOU'RE DOING IT A LOT QUICKER THAN WE'D BE DOING IT BY HAND.

THAT'S A HOLE.

HA, HA, HA!

DON'T -- DON'T --

I THINK I MUST'VE TAKEN A WRONG TURN SOMEWHERE.

YOU GOT IT? HOW MUCH STUFF IS IT?

IT'S A BIT.

THE NEXT MORNING, GABE IS DOWN-MOUNTAIN

TO HELP BROTHER BAM GATHER SUPPLIES,

HOPING HE WON'T BE AWAY FROM WORK AT THE BARN SITE FOR LONG.

THIS DOOR IS A PAIN.

WITH BAM, IT'S JUST IMPORTANT TO SHOW HIM THAT

I'M BEHIND HIM, YOU KNOW, 100%,

'CAUSE A LOT OF THE TIMES, A LOT OF THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS

KIND OF GIVE HIM A LOT OF FLACK.

AFTER GATHERING A LOAD OF SECONDHAND MATERIALS IN TOWN,

BAM IS EAGER TO LAY THE GROUNDWORK

FOR HIS OWN FUTURE ON THE MOUNTAIN.

YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THIS, RIGHT?

- BATHING? - MAKING A WORM FARM.

BASICALLY, THE MANURE FROM THE WORMS CREATES A JUICE

- THAT WILL FLOW OUT OF IT. - OH, STOP!

AND TOMATO-- YOU MIGHT BE GROSSED OUT. TOMATOES LOVE IT.

YOU KNOW, I'M ALWAYS GETTING PULLED OFF

ON EVERYBODY ELSE'S PROJECT,

BUT I DO LIKE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITIES

I CAN AND WHEN I CAN.

AND I'M NOT GONNA WAIT 'TIL WE'RE THROUGH

DOING THIS PROJECT TO DO MINE.

I'M JUST GONNA FIND THE AREAS OF TIME

THAT I CAN GO WORK ON MY THINGS.

RECORD PLAYER?

YEAH, IT'S A RECORD PLAYER. OH!

IT'S A SEWING MACHINE, AND IT'S LITERALLY AN ANTIQUE.

PERSONALLY, I SEE A LOT OF POTENTIAL FOR THIS LAND.

IT'S A LOT MORE LAND THAN WE HAD WITH BROWNTOWN,

SO THAT ALLOWS ALL OF US TO SPREAD OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE.

LET'S LOAD IT IN THERE.

OH, BAM!

I DON'T THINK THAT CAN HOLD YOUR WEIGHT.

THAT'S WHY WE DON'T HAVE NICE THINGS.

I'LL FIX THAT LATER.

YOU KNOW, I WANNA REMAIN CLOSE TO MY FAMILY,

BUT I ALSO WANNA HAVE, LIKE, MY OWN THING GOING ON.

YOU READY TO GO?

LET'S HAUL THIS STUFF UP THE MOUNTAIN.

WELL, THE GOALS FOR THE PIECE OF PROPERTY

THAT I'M GETTING ARE IMMENSE.

THERE'S GONNA BE GARDENS, GREENHOUSES,

CHICKEN COOPS, A BARN OF ITS OWN.

NEED TO PUT IN A WELL, GONNA BUILD A HOUSE,

AND JUST MAKE IT THE MOST FUNCTIONAL ENVIRONMENT POSSIBLE

FOR WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD.

I'M CURIOUS TO SEE HOW YOUR WORM FARM TURNS OUT.

I THINK IT'LL DO GOOD.

IT SHOULD BE COOL. IT'S PRETTY EASY.

I MEAN, IT'S A VERY EASY CONCEPT.

UH, THERE'S A LITTLE TOO MUCH PLAY

IN THOSE BRAKES FOR MY LIKING.

IT'S GETTING DUSTY.

YES, IT IS.

YOU HEAR THAT SCREECHING, RIGHT?

YEAH, WHAT IS THAT?

GUESS IT COULD BE A FAN BELT.

I'M NOT A MECHANIC,

BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

WINDING UPHILL FOR SEVEN MILES

ALONG STEEP RIDGE LINES AND RUGGED SWITCHBACKS,

THE BROWNS' UNMAINTAINED MOUNTAIN ROAD

REMAINS A CHALLENGE FOR EVEN THE MOST CAPABLE DRIVERS.

IF WE WERE RUNNING THE OIL PRESSURE

AS HIGH AS IT SAYS WE ARE,

I THINK SHE'D HAVE EXPLODED ALREADY.

YOU KNOW, I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT'S GOING ON

WITH THE FARM TRUCK RIGHT NOW.

YOU KNOW, IF BAM'S WORRIED, I'M WORRIED.

I'M JUST HOPING HE'S OVERESTIMATING

HOW BIG OF A DEAL THIS IS.

I MAY NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS OR HOW TO FIX IT,

BUT I KNOW WHEN SOMETHING'S WRONG.

HANG ON, HANG ON. STOP.

WE GOT TO A CERTAIN POINT ON THIS HILL,

AND WE'VE JUST STOPPED.

I HAD A FEELING IT WAS TOO MUCH WEIGHT FOR THIS, BUT...

WE'RE LEAKING SOMETHING.

I'M IN TROUBLE.

WE'RE STUCK ON THE MIDDLE OF A MOUNTAIN RIGHT NOW.

WE ARE MILES FROM BASE CAMP.

YO, GABEY. SHE'S STARTING TO SMELL.

THIS DOESN'T JUST SET BAM BACK.

THIS SETS US BACK THE WHOLE WAY AROUND.

IT'S MAKING A CONCUSSION THAT GOES THROUGH

AND SENDS VIBRATIONS THROUGHOUT THE GROUND.

THE MOLES' SENSES ARE JUST GONNA BE ALL MESSED UP,

NOW THAT I'M RE-PURPOSING THIS,

I'M GOING TO MAKE IT TO WHERE IT IS SPINNING,

AND THEN WHEN IT REACHES THE END,

IT'LL MAKE IT GO AS SO.

FROM THE STORY THAT MY DAD TELLS,

MY FIXING THINGS IS JUST ONE OF THOSE GENETIC TALENTS.

HE HAD ME IN HIS LAP WHEN I WAS, LIKE, ONE AND A HALF.

AND HE WAS FIXING A RADIO, AND HE STOPPED

AND HE WAS TALKING TO MY MOM.

AND HE LOOKED DOWN, AND I HAD CONNECTED THE LAST OF THE WIRES.

THE RADIO TURNED ON.

I WAS LIKE, 5, AND I WAS DOING A LOT OF PUZZLES.

I PROGRESSED QUICKLY.

IT'LL WORK.

DOWN ON THE FAMILY'S ACCESS ROAD,

DON'T DISCONNECT. WE'RE GONNA TRY TO PULL THE WHOLE THING.

RAIN DRIVING THE SKID STEER, IT'S A BIG RESPONSIBILITY.

GABE, WHERE'S THE CENTER?

THAT IS THE VERY CENTER.

-I HAVE ONE DAY TO DO THIS 20-SOMETHING HOLES.

I THINK I'M GETTING INTO A LITTLE BIT OF A GROOVE.

THE FIRST FEW HOLES HAVE GONE REALLY WELL,

I -- I THINK.

YOU NOTICED ALL OF OUR SOUTHERN DRAWL

GETTING MORE AND MORE, THE LONGER WE SPEND ON OUR RANCH?

I HAVEN'T NOTICED IT A BIT.

YEAH, IT'S GETTIN' REALLY STRONG.

I DON'T THINK SO.

OH, CRUD.

SHE GOT ABOUT HALF DOWN, AND SHE HIT SOMETHING --

SOMETHING SOLID.

THE AUGER'S JUST PUSHING AGAINST IT,

AND IT'S JUST PUSHING IT RIGHT OUT.

IT CAN'T SEEM TO CHEW THROUGH IT.

WE COULD HAVE A POTENTIAL BIG PROBLEM.

THINK IT'S TREES, ROOTS, ROCKS? WHAT DO YOU THINK?

- YEAH, THAT'S A TREE. - THAT'S A TREE.

DIDN'T WE MOVE ALL THE TREES?

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE.

ALL RIGHT, SO, THAT DIDN'T WORK.

IT'S A PRETTY BIG TREE. WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO?

IT'S NOT DEEP ENOUGH.

IT NEEDS AT LEAST ANOTHER FOOT,

BUT THE TREE'S COMPLETELY IN THE WAY.

IT LOOKS LIKE WE HIT A TREE DOWN THERE.

IT LOOKS LIKE SOME OLD TREE.

IT'S SOLID, THOUGH.

LIKE, THE AUGER CAN'T CHEW THROUGH IT.

WHAT IF YOU GOT THE AXE?

I CAN'T GET A GOOD SWING ON IT WITH THE AXE.

WHAT ABOUT THE JACKHAMMER?

WOULD THAT WORK ON WOOD, THOUGH?

MIGHT AT LEAST BE WORTH A TRY.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD DO.

ONE OF OUR ONLY OPTIONS

IS TO JUST PUT THE JACKHAMMER ATTACHMENT

ON THE FRONT OF THE SKID STEER.

BUT I'VE NEVER USED IT BEFORE,

AND I'VE NEVER SEEN IT IN ACTION.

SO THAT WAY WE KNOW,

OKAY, YEAH, WE CAN JACKHAMMER THROUGH THIS,

WE CAN JACKHAMMER THROUGH THAT.

OR, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET DYNAMITE.

I HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT THIS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO RUN IT.

LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THE MACHINE BEHAVES.

JUST AS I'M GETTING GOOD WITH THE AUGER,

WE HAVE TO SWAP IT OUT TO SOMETHING I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT.

-SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF MOLES IN THIS AREA.

-...NOAH ROLLS OUT HIS FIRST INNOVATION.

-DRUM ROLL, PLEASE.

WHOA! I'M MOVING MY END.

LET GO OF YOURS. OKAY.

...AND THE SIBLINGS GRAPPLE WITH THEIR FIRST LOAD OF LUMBER.

OW. WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?

ALL RIGHT, SO, THAT DIDN'T WORK.

WE MULCHED IT UP PRETTY GOOD.

WELL, NOT THAT PART.

OR THAT.

THE BROWNS ARE BEHIND SCHEDULE ON THEIR BARN'S FOUNDATION.

AND WHILE DRILLING THREE-FOOT POST HOLES,

DEEP ROOTS STOP THEM DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS.

THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY TO DO IT.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE JACKHAMMER?

MIGHT AT LEAST BE WORTH A TRY.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD DO.

I'VE NEVER OPERATED ANY SORT OF JACKHAMMER BEFORE.

I'VE SEEN THE HAND-JACKHAMMERS DONE ONCE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW IT'S GONNA GET THROUGH A TREE.

LIKE, IS IT SHARP?

DOES IT CUT THROUGH THINGS?

YEAH!

SO THERE'S A LOT THAT I'M JUST GONNA HAVE TO FIGURE OUT

IN THE MOMENT. DO YOU WANNA TRY IT?

OH, SHE'S GONNA TRY THE JACKHAMMER.

IT'S BETTER TO TRY AND FAIL THAN FAIL TO TRY, RIGHT?

STRAIGHT DOWN. OUT A LITTLE. OUT A LITTLE.

PULL UP JUST A NOTCH.

BACK IN. THIS WAY AND IN.

♪♪

YEAH!

THE JACKHAMMER IS VERY EFFECTIVE AT BREAKING UP THE TREE.

IT IS POUNDING THROUGH IT.

TAKE IT OUT OF THERE. LET'S SEE WHAT YOU DID.

IT TURNS OUT IT'S NOT SHARP AT ALL.

IT'S JUST BLUNT-FORCE POWER, AND IT'S A LOT MORE FUN.

OH, YEAH.

- DID IT WORK? - IT WORKED REALLY WELL, YEAH.

JACKHAMMER'S SO MUCH MORE FUN THAN THE DRILL.

I'M STILL RECUPERATING FROM MY GALL BLADDER SURGERY.

MY ARMS ARE GOOD AS GOLD.

IT'S JUST THOSE CERTAIN PARTS ON MY ABS,

THEY'RE JUST STILL TENDER.

AFTER A FEW ADJUSTMENTS, YOUNGEST BROTHER NOAH

HAS COMPLETED HIS FIRST INVENTION IN WASHINGTON

AND IS EAGER TO PUT IT TO USE.

SEEMS WE HAVE A LOT OF MOLES IN THIS AREA.

SO I THINK THIS WOULD BE A REALLY GOOD PLACE

TO PUT THE NOISE ENABLER.

IT'S GOOD TO BE ABLE TO GET BACK INTO SOME MANUAL LABOR.

NOW IT'S TIME TO INSTALL IT.

I'M GONNA TAKE THE RESONATION CHAMBER, AND BURY IT.

I'M NOT ARROGANT ENOUGH TO SAY THAT I'M A GENIUS.

WHY WAS EINSTEIN CLASSIFIED AS A GENIUS?

BUT, I AM VERY INGENUITIVE.

I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT I'M LIKE DA VINCI.

NO, I DON'T PAINT.

WHAT I DO, I MAKE THINGS.

WITH MY MIND, I AM ABLE TO FORCE SOMETHING INTO REALITY.

DRUM ROLL, PLEASE.

♪♪

OKAY.

LOOKS LIKE IT WORKS.

I GET TO GO HOME AND HAVE A REALLY GOOD SLEEP TONIGHT.

CAN'T SAY THE SAME THING FOR THE MOLES.

♪♪

THAT'S LUMBER, ALL RIGHT.

IS THAT A BARN I'M LOOKING AT RIGHT THERE,

OR IS THAT A BARN?

RIGHT NOW, THIS IS PLYWOOD --

2x6s, 2x4s, ONE BY SOME KIND,

AND I'M GUESSING BEAMS IN THE CORNER.

CRUD, GUYS. WE HAVE A LOT OF LUMBER TO MOVE.

IT'S MORE THAN A LITTLE.

ALL-ON ON THEIR EFFORTS TO CONSTRUCT A BARN,

BILLY HAS CLOSED A DEAL WITH THE LOCAL LUMBER YARD

FOR THE MATERIALS NEEDED TO BEGIN HIS STRUCTURE.

DON'T WALK ON THE PLYWOOD.

FIRST THING YOU'RE GONNA DO IS PUT SOME FOOTPRINTS ON IT.

BUT WITH THEIR BASE CAMP TOO ISOLATED FOR DELIVERY,

MATT, BAM, AND GABE MUST TRANSPORT MULTIPLE LOADS

UP THE SEVEN-MILE MOUNTAIN ROAD.

THIS IS GONNA BE THE FOUNDATION.

THESE WILL GO DOWN INTO THE POST HOLES

THAT WE'RE GONNA DIG OUT WITH THE AUGER.

SINCE THE LUMBER'S HERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MOUNTAIN,

WE HAVE TO GET IT UP TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN

OR ELSE THIS BARN'S NEVER GONNA GET BUILT.

AND WE DEFINITELY CAN'T AFFORD TO REALLY LOSE

EVEN A SINGLE BOARD ON THIS.

REALLY, THIS STUFF IS PRECIOUS.

ALL RIGHT, GET THIS PULLED BACK.

I'M GONNA GET THE, UH, TRAILER INTO PLACE.

WE GOT A BARN, GUYS!

IT'S A LOT OF LUMBER TO HAUL UP. 'CAUSE WEIGHT'S AN ISSUE.

THE FACT WE'RE USING THAT TO PULL THAT TRAILER IS AN ISSUE.

AND THE FACT THAT IT'S GONNA STICK OUT MORE THAN HALFWAY

OUT OF THAT TRAILER IS ALSO AN ISSUE.

YEAH, IT'D HELP IF HE PUT IT IN DRIVE.

PUT IT IN DRIVE!

I AM IN DRIVE.

Y'ALL GUYS CHOCK THE TIRES?

YEAH, I GOT THIS.

WHERE'S HE GOING?

JUST LET HIM DRIVE, MAN. LET HIM DRIVE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BABY? COME ON, YOU'RE IN DRIVE.

GABE, IS THE PARKING BRAKE ON?

YO, YO!

IS THE PARKING BRAKE ON?

WHAT'S IT -- OH!

HA, HA!

THANK YOU!

- HE SAYS THANK YOU. - THAT'S BETTER!

THAT'S GOOD FOR THE CAR.

I DEFINITELY NEVER CUT CORNERS,

AND I LIKE TO DO EVERYTHING TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.

NOT TOO BAD. PUT ON YOUR SHOULDER,

AND JUST PICK IT UP AND SET IT ON THE TRAILER.

OW!

OH, DON'T KICK YOUR KNEE.

A LOT OF TIMES, WITH SOME OF MY SIBLINGS DEFINITELY,

THEY HAVE A TENDENCY TO JUST, LIKE, PUSH A LITTLE TOO HARD

OR NOT SLOW DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

WATCH YOURSELF. STOP.

- LOOK WHAT YOU'RE DOING. - THAT WOULD'VE HURT.

THAT WOULD SLICE YOUR WRIST OPEN.

WATCH YOUR FINGERS.

WATCH YOUR TOES.

GABEY.

THAT'S NOW HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PICK IT UP, MAN.

WHENEVER WE DO A JOB TOGETHER, BAM'S VERY CAUTIOUS,

I'M VERY GUNG-HO.

I JUST GET TUNNEL VISION.

I JUST GET INTO WHAT I'M DOING, AND I DON'T THINK.

I JUST DO IT.

OW. I'M MOVING MY END.

LET GO OF YOURS. OKAY.

AND THE WAY TO DO IT --

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'VE FORGOTTEN --

IS THAT YOU TIP IT UP SIDEWAYS

SO WE CAN BOTH GET OUR LITTLE FINGERS UNDERNEATH IT.

NOW PUT YOUR LITTLE FINGERS UNDERNEATH IT.

AND THEN YOU LIFT.

SEE HOW NOBODY GOT HURT? YEAH.

EXCEPT FOR WHEN YOU WEREN'T DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY?

I KIND OF LIKE HAVING FINGERNAILS.

YOU HAVE NICE ONES.

SLIDE IT OUT.

THERE. OW! SORRY.

WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND

ABOUT WE'RE DOING IT AT THE SAME TIME?

I DON'T GET THAT.

I THOUGHT I WAS SLIDING -- NO, GABEY.

COME ON. WE CAN KISS YOUR BOO-BOO LATER.

LET'S MOVE.

YOU, STOP TALKING.

MATT, WHAT THE HECK?

THERE ARE DEFINITELY A LOT OF TIMES

WHERE I WOULD JUST LIKE TO "THREE STOOGES"

MATT AND GABEY'S HEADS OFF OF EACH OTHER,

YOU KNOW, OR STRANGLE ONE OF THEM UNTIL THEY TURNED BLUE.

BUT YOU HAVE TO, LIKE, CALM THAT DOWN.

NOW, GABEY, LET'S DO THIS ONE MY WAY.

WATCH.

BOTH OF US REACH DOWN.

BOTH OF US TILT.

BOTH OF US RAISE UP.

- SEE? - OH. THAT WAS SIMPLE.

IT'S CALLED TEAMWORK.

BUT, HONESTLY, I HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THEY --

IT WAS LOOKING THERE FOR A WHILE

LIKE WE WEREN'T GOING TO HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY

TO BE A FAMILY OUT HERE, DOING THIS STUFF AGAIN.

GOOD, GUYS? ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

- YOU HAVE TO UNLOCK IT. - OOPS!

THERE, MR. CHILD LOCKS.

- HIS, TOO. - HOW DO I DO THAT?

THE BUTTON THAT SAYS "UNLOCK."

- THERE WE GO. - THAT'S IT.

AND NOW WE ALL HAVE A CHANCE TO START OVER,

SO I'M JUST TRYING TO KEEP THAT IN MIND AND NOT TAKE FOR GRANTED

THAT I'M OUT HERE WITH MY SIBLINGS, DOING ALL THIS --

NOT GET TOO CAUGHT UP IN BEING UPTIGHT,

JUST TRYING TO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT

I'M OUT HERE WITH THE PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT.

- ONCE MORE INTO THE FRAY? - HOO-RAH!

ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH.

I BET THAT I CAN HIT ONE OF THESE ROCKS

INTO ONE OF THOSE HOLES BEFORE YOU.

YOU'RE ON, SISTER.

YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S JUST IMPORTANT

WHENEVER YOU'RE WORKING HARD TO KIND OF TAKE A MOMENT

AND, YOU KNOW, MAKE UP SOMETHING FUN TO DO.

FIRST ONE IN THE HOLE WINS.

AND RIGHT NOW, WE'RE DOING ROCK BOWLING.

ERRHH! OKAY, GABE?

I THINK I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE AT WINNING,

BECAUSE I HAVE A HECK OF AN ARM ON ME.

OH, I MISSED!

BUT IF IT WERE THIS ROCK, I'D HAVE GOTTEN IT.

AND HERE'S SHE GOES, HERE'S THE WINDUP.

BATTA, BATTA, BATTA!

SWING, BATTER, BATTER!

- OH. - OH, I WAS SO CLOSE!

I MEAN, ANY KIND OF COMPETITION, YOU WANT TO WIN

EVEN IF FOR, YOU KNOW, THE BRAGGING RIGHTS.

ALL RIGHT. Y'ALL READY TO LOSE?

NO!

I WIN! YOU LOSE! YOU LOSE!

YOU LOSE!

SEE THIS LITTLE EMPTY FLAT SPOT?

IT'S GONNA BE A BEAUTIFUL BARN SOON.

I CAN ALREADY SEE IT.

COMMITTED TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE IN THE BUSH,

THE BROWNS ARE PUSHING FORWARD WITH A NEW BARN

ON THEIR RUGGED MOUNTAINSIDE...

IS THAT A BARN I'M LOOKING AT RIGHT THERE, OR IS THAT A BARN?

...AND AFTER THEIR YOUNGEST SIBLING

SEIZED THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DRILLING FOR THEIR FOUNDATION...

RIGHT IN THE CENTER.

- YOU'RE DOING GOOD. - RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

...THE KIDS ARE SETTING THE 14-FOOT POSTS

IN THE GROUND, PUTTING RAIN'S WORK TO THE TEST.

- WHERE ARE WE GOING, GABE? - TO THE HOLE.

YOU WENT A REALLY WEIRD WAY.

WE'RE TRYING TO DO THIS PERFECT.

SO, YOU KNOW, PLACING THE BEAMS EXACTLY WHERE THEY NEED TO GO

IS A LITTLE CHALLENGING,

SO YOU JUST HAVE TO BE REALLY PRECISE WITH IT.

HANG ON, BIRDY. SLOW DOWN. YOU'RE GONNA BLOW YOUR BACK OUT.

YOU'RE KIDDING, RIGHT? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU OR MYSELF?

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PROCESSES

TO, UH, PUTTING THE PILINGS IS THE BRACING.

WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE PILINGS ARE GOING TO SIT

EXACTLY WHERE THEY HAVE TO BE WHEN WE POUR THE CONCRETE.

STIR, MY LITTLE HENCHMEN, STIR!

DID I SAY YOU COULD QUIT?

DID I SAY IT'S TIME TO GO HOME?

NO, I DIDN'T!

GOOD ENOUGH TO BATHE IN, IF ONLY IT WASN'T CONCRETE.

I DON'T SEE THAT GOING ANYWHERE. NOT ONCE IT SETS UP.

NO, AND IT'S BETTER THAN ANY FOUNDATION

WE'VE EVER PUT IN ANYTHING.

WELL, IT'S LIKE I HAVE TO IMAGINE WHO RAIN MUST FEEL,

THAT SHE DID EVERYTHING WITH THE SKID STEER,

AND SHE DID IT PERFECT.

YOU KNOW, THERE IS NOT A SINGLE HOLE THAT IS MESSED UP.

COME ON, GUYS! BRING IT ON!

IT DOES MAKE ME SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE HOW CAPABLE SHE IS.

♪♪

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN I WAS REALLY LITTLE

AND I, LIKE, CUT MY BANGS AND I WAS, LIKE, SUPER SAD?

OH, MY GOSH, YES. I WAS, LIKE, BAWLING.

AND I WAS LIKE, "ARE WE NOT GONNA BE AS CLOSE

BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME HAIRCUT?"

AND YOU WERE LIKE, "WHAT? THAT'S STUPID."

THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT LIVING IN A SEPARATE HOUSE.

THEN YOU STILL WANT YOUR OWN HOUSE?

YES.

YOU DO. OKAY.

YEAH, I MEAN, I FIGURED YOU PROBABLY WOULD.

YOU KNOW, I DO HAVE TO ADMIT THAT YOU HAVE...

I GUESS...

GROWN INTO A...

YOU KNOW...

CAPABLE YOUNG WOMAN.

THANK YOU. I SUPPOSE.

YOU REMIND ME OF ME A LOT, YOU KNOW,

'CAUSE THERE WAS A TIME THAT, LIKE,

THE BROTHERS WOULDN'T LET ME DO ANYTHING BY MYSELF.

AND, LIKE, NOW I'M, LIKE, YOU KNOW,

I'M DOING STUFF FOR EVERYBODY.

AND IT'S JUST, I REALIZED THAT YOU ARE, TOO.

FROM THE FIRST MOMENT I SAW RAIN,

I JUST WANTED TO PROTECT HER.

WHEN I WAS WITH RAIN,

IT'S LIKE NOTHING COULD SCARE ME.

AND IT'S STILL LIKE THAT,

BECAUSE I HAVE TO BE THE STRONG ONE.

I CAN'T BE AFRAID BECAUSE I HAVE TO PROTECT RAIN.

BUT I SHOULD LET HER SPREAD HER WINGS A LITTLE BIT,

YOU KNOW, LET HER FLY.

YOU'RE NOT JUST PART OF THE WORK CREW.

WITHOUT YOU, THERE WOULDN'T BE A WORK CREW, REALLY, ANYMORE.

I'VE WAITED ALL MY LIFE TO HEAR THAT.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A STRUGGLE TO BE EQUAL WITH EVERYBODY.

AND IT MEANS A LOT MORE FOR YOU TO ADMIT IT TO ME

THAN ANYBODY ELSE.

I DEFINITELY THINK THAT THIS WHOLE PROJECT,

IT'S REALLY LIFE-CHANGING, HONESTLY.

BECAUSE I NOW KNOW THAT I CAN DO THINGS LIKE THIS,

AND IT ISN'T JUST SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT.

IT'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT WAS TRUE,

AND, UH, I'M MAKING A LITTLE BIT MORE PROGRESS.

I WOULD STILL LOVE TO SHARE EVERYTHING WITH YOU.

BUT I RESPECT THAT YOU DON'T WANT ME TO.

YOU KNOW, YOU WANT YOUR OWN HOUSE,

YOU WANT YOUR OWN STUFF, YOU WANT YOUR OWN EVERYTHING.

YOU WANNA BE A PERSON, AND I JUST -- I SEE THAT.

AND I -- YOU KNOW, I RESPECT THAT.

I GUESS I'LL HAVE MY HOUSE, AND YOU'LL HAVE YOURS.

BUT YOU ARE STILL MY LITTLE SISTER.

MY BED WILL BE BIG ENOUGH IF YOU EVER GET SCARED IN THE NIGHT.

YOU CAN -- YOU CAN COME BACK.

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT CAN'T SLEEP WITHOUT ME.

♪♪

DANG. ANYBODY ELSE'S BACK HURT?

- NO, IT FEELS GOOD NOW. - NO.

RIGHT? LOOK AT IT, LADIES.

THERE IT IS. YEAH.

AS IN ANYTHING THE BROWN FAMILY TACKLES,

THERE WERE A LOT OF OBSTACLES.

BUT NOW WITH THE PILINGS IN AND THE CONCRETE SET,

IT'S REALLY THE FIRST STEP TO FINISHING THE BARN.

IT'S SO WET, I CAN PUT A HAND PRINT.

THAT'LL BE THERE FOREVER.

PUTTING OUR BRAND, PUTTING OUR STAMP ON IT --

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT ONCE WE HAVE THE BARN BUILT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S A SYMBOL OF FINALLY GETTING

WHAT WE'VE WORKED FOR.

IT'S INTERESTING HOW QUICKLY SOMETHING CAN CHANGE

FROM A FOREST THAT'S EVERYWHERE

TO A LANDMARK THAT'S GONNA BE HERE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS.

IT'S THE WHOLE EMBODIMENT OF THIS NEXT JOURNEY OF OUR LIFE.

JUST DOING THINGS RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN SKIPPER A LONG TIME.

AND IT'S KIND OF HARD TO STEP BACK FROM THE WHEEL.

BUT NOW, THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT AS THE YEARS PROGRESS, YOU KNOW,

I'LL DEFINITELY BE RELYING ON THE KIDS MORE AND MORE.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE REACHED THE POINT NOW THAT IT REALLY

DOESN'T MATTER IF A BOARD FALLS OFF,

IF A WALL FALLS DOWN.

AS LONG AS DEEP INSIDE, THE GUYS HAVE THAT INHERENT WANT

FOR THE VALUES THAT THEY'VE LEARNED,

FOR WHAT'S IN THEIR HEARTS, FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT,

YOU KNOW, THEY'VE BEEN TAUGHT, THEY'VE LEARNED,

AND ALL THE THINGS THAT BIND OUR FAMILY.

AS LONG AS, YOU KNOW, THEY STILL CARRY THOSE THINGS,

THE DREAM WILL NEVER DIE.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF "ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE"...
