Original subtitles

Yeah, I know what that 90 means.

I'll get back to you.

Daniel!

Missed you at breakfast this morning.

Yeah, I thought I'd let you guys get settled in.

Well, it's thoughtful of you, I guess.

It's great to be back on the old homestead.

Bit rougher around the edges than I remember, but in fairly good shape.

Fairly?

Tell me, what have you learned from the oil fields that has taught you about

ranching? You know it takes a lot of hard work and preparation to keep this

place running, right?

There. Oh, no thanks.

That's what I thought.

I was hoping maybe you'd join me for a smash over.

Well, as charming as that sounds, I've got business in town.

Business? What kind of business do you have in town that you don't ever come

to?

Look, if and when it pertains to you, I will be sure to let you know.

But in the meantime, keep up the hard work.

And plan.

Family, huh?

Looks like it's starting to come down.

Right about here.

Good thing it's raining.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, that rain has really poached the ground.

The cows, they don't mind mud, but you don't want them to drink out of it. We

got to give them some clear water up here.

All right.

You ready?

All right. Whoa, whoa. Hang on, Dad.

That's heavier than I remember.

I gotta tell you, I am not missing my gym membership in Chicago, that's for

sure. You know, I never really got the whole paying to go inside and run thing.

But honest days work, that always kept me in shape.

I'm just happy you're feeling good, Dad.

Yeah, well... I'm not happy about a certain

Newman that...

Blew into town like a bad wind.

Yeah.

How long has it been since you seen Jackson?

Well, as long as Amy's been out of high school, that's a lot of years.

Wait a minute. Jackson and Aunt Amy went to high school together?

Yeah. They were in the same year.

Where's Jackson been this whole time?

Houston, apparently.

He went after oil.

Probably suited him.

Everyone around here thought he was headed for worse, though.

And Amy didn't seem too pleased to see him. Yeah, I doubt anyone is.

You want to put it over here? Yeah, right about here.

So what do you think brought him back?

Who knows?

I doubt it was the love of the land.

He left the hard work for Daniel's dad, Henry.

Take that. Yeah.

Those Newmans.

Boy, they sure give me a run for my money.

Oh, hang on one sec.

Hello, this is Pastor James Hamilton.

Of course, I'd be honored to.

It's the Cowboy Church.

Yeah, absolutely.

Well, if it works for you, I could meet you in the prayer barn in about 30

minutes.

Yeah, great. Great. I'll see you then.

You go.

Yeah, are you sure? Yeah.

All right.

Let me take care of this, and then I'll meet you back at the stable. We'll see

if that mare's putting any weight on her leg. Okay.

Sounds good. All right. Thanks, Sash. Yeah.

Look.

Look, Thomas. He wants to say hello.

What do you think, Thomas?

Aren't ladybugs supposed to be good bugs?

They're good for the tomatoes and the strawberries.

They help manage the aphids and the spider mites.

They're the cutest little things I've ever seen.

Yeah, ranchers and farmers, we love it when we see these little critters.

Unfortunately, they do not eat the corn earworms. What exactly is a corn

earworm? Sounds bad.

It's a worm with a taste for corn, but it also likes the tomatoes and the

strawberries.

And they are particularly bad this year because of the heavy rains.

I can't eat all the strawberries.

Those are for Thomas.

Well, don't worry.

I planted plenty.

The Strawberry Social is coming up, and I'm making my mother's famous strawberry

pie. And those earworms are not going to stand in my way.

And how do you get rid of them?

Well, you can pick them off, or you can use oil.

But... For a bad infestation like this, we might need a wider application of

something mild that's targeted just for them.

You definitely know your stuff.

No wonder they love you at the Ranchers Association.

You should bring this up there and save the strawberries in the whole county.

I plan on it.

You hear that, Thomas?

You better look out. This is what happens when you grow up on a ranch. You

learn way too much about bugs.

Walter.

How you doing? How's Gene?

Waiting for grandkids.

I can only imagine.

Well, please, please, have a seat. How can I be of service?

Well, you know, I've been hauling green out of those silos for the past 20-odd

years. The company switched insurance carriers, and the new policy won't cover

me beyond the wheel anymore.

So, no insurance, no job.

I don't have the heart to tell Gene.

I've been leaving every morning like I'm going to work. Instead, I'm sitting in

my truck doing crosswords until it's time to go home.

Well, thank you for telling me. I can't imagine this being easy.

You know, change isn't always comfortable, but we have to trust that

God has a plan for you.

I know, I know.

And I know I have to come clean.

I think we'll be okay for money, but truth be told, work is all I've known my

whole adult life.

And I'm scared I won't know who I am without it.

And I don't want to upset Jean and put my worries onto her.

It can be hard.

It can be hard, Walt.

And that's also okay.

You know, the Bible tells us that God knows the plans he has for you. To

prosper you, not to harm you.

To give you hope and a future.

Maybe this is something that you and your wife are meant to experience

together.

I'll share it with her tonight.

And, yeah, we'll be in it together, like we have been for all these

years. Sounds like a good choice.

And also, seeing as though you're going to be taking some time away from

crossword puzzles, why don't you come down to the ranch? We could always use

an extra set of hands.

I appreciate that, Pastor.

Do you mind if I just take a minute here?

Certainly. Take your time.

Boy in room three fell off his bike. We've called his parents. Someone else

brought him in.

I'm sure they love getting that call.

Neighbor drove him in? Looks like it.

Did you bring in these strawberries?

Mmm.

They taste so sweet, they must have grown in Hamilton soil.

I did, but all the strawberries grown around here taste like that.

Well, they're just as good as the ones we had together last year.

What? I'm just remembering how big the strawberries were last year.

Mm-hmm.

Sure.

You're a woman of many talents. You're a farmer and a doctor.

Well, those are all Aunt Amy. She grows rows and rows of them for the strawberry

social. Ah.

Hmm. You're all smiles for such a busy day.

That's because it's strawberry season, Layla.

Who wouldn't be happy?

Hmm.

Oh, my goodness.

These are so good.

You should try one, Janet.

Oh, I have.

I brought them in, actually. They're grown on my family ranch.

Well, better than stale break room donuts, anyway.

Glad you like them.

Yeah.

But they really should be in the break room, not out here on the floor.

Company policy.

Right. Of course.

Rules just help run things more smoothly.

You understand, I'm sure.

Listen, Janet, I appreciate that change isn't always easy, but when I see that a

system isn't working or things could be better, I can't help but start working

on it.

I get it. Chief of Staff is supposed to keep us in line.

Us regular folk can get a little tunnel vision.

Exactly. All-time health brought me in to be fresh eyes.

Copy that.

Thank you, Janet.

Well, isn't this just adorable?

Oh, welcome.

Your apron is the cutest.

Did you get it online?

Actually, I made it myself.

Yourself? Well, that is just precious.

Thank you.

Are you guys vacationing or visiting family?

Good question.

Yeah, we're not exactly sure ourselves.

All right.

Well, either way, happy you stopped by.

Come on over to the counter.

What can I get for you guys?

I'll have a small half-calf, five-pump hazelnut almond milk extra hot no-foam

latte with whipped cream and caramel drizzle.

What? Yeah, Mom, this place is kind of basic, so maybe just keep it simple.

Yeah, I'll have a two-thirds-calf iced coffee with light foam.

I'll have the same.

But a latte.

What are your milk alternatives?

Cream?

Why not? We're being crazy today.

Coming right up.

So, uh, how long are you guys in town?

Oh, we're not sure. Maybe a few weeks?

Jackson just wanted us to see the old homestead.

Jackson Newman?

Okay, see, Dad's, like, full-on famous here.

Something like that.

Crossroads Springs is a fairly small place, so everyone kind of knows

everyone. Especially if you're from one of the town's founding families.

So we are all famous.

Yeah, Jackson is my dad.

I gathered.

So he brought you here to see the ranch?

Brought's a strong word, but I'd much rather be back in Houston at the stables

working for the summer, like I planned.

She shows horses.

Well, here you are.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Mmm.

This is incredible.

What is it?

Coffee.

That's not good.

Everything okay?

We've got a 35-year-old woman who's been in and out of the clinic over the past

month with fluctuating blood pressure and fatigue.

She was put on the medication and told to rest, which should have resolved it,

but her symptoms are still exactly the same.

Any complaints about her vision?

She didn't mention any.

Wait, here, on a previous intake, she complained... Blurred vision.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I have to treat a boy who fell off his bike.

Amy. Hey.

Well, this is the first meeting where you'll be facing the ranchers instead of

just being one of them.

How's it feel?

Um, I am both nervous and excited, I guess. Well, I wouldn't have approached

you about the job if I didn't think you were up for it, so.

Thank you.

Okay. Oh, excuse me. Sure.

Hey.

Mason Walker.

Look at you. Jackson Newman.

Haven't seen you in a while.

Hey, hey, you might not know it.

But this man was the best wide receiver this county has ever produced.

Oh, I don't know about that. Come on.

So, Jackson, what brings you back to Crossroad Springs?

Ah, missing family, I guess.

Actually, I think Daniel here was a little lonely all by himself in the big

house. Well, actually, I quite enjoyed the extra elbow room. What? It's good to

see you there, wide receiver.

Stephanie Matlin. Good to see you.

Stephanie Matlin.

Good to see you.

Funny that he's turned up just when we're fighting delays with our herd

expansion. Does that feel like a coincidence to anyone?

Well, it's a little early to lay blame, but I'm just as suspicious as you are.

I get the feeling Daniel's not too happy about it. Don't kid yourself. Those

Newmans, they stick together.

And so do the Hamiltons.

It doesn't mean we all can't get along.

We'll see about that.

My crop's still young, but I found them in half the years of corn and dust.

We need to do something about those worms before they eat more corn than our

customers. Plus, my herd's counting on that feed next winter.

If I may, I know someone who runs a company out of Houston.

All the industrial farms use them for dust, and I'm sure if I was to put in a

call, I'd be able to get him to come down here as a personal favor.

I'm sure his treatment would take care of these worms like prairie dogs on a

golf course.

Yeah, I'd say that metaphor is a few clowns short of a circus.

Thank you, Tucker.

Oh, and thank you for your interest, Jackson, but we already have a regular

duster with roots in this town, and he's been on a pass-through for years.

No need to spray the fields with something that's going to kill

everything in sight.

Dealing with one invasive pest doesn't need to upset an entire ecosystem.

Right?

So, any farms interested can do a coordinated booking, and we can all

share fees.

The duster's on his way and ready to go.

Thanks.

Okay, but this place can't be real.

What do they all do here for fun?

Uh, well...

They're having a strawberry party.

That's fun.

Seriously? I love fruit just as much as the next person, but you can't really be

trying to sell me on this as something I would find fun.

You love strawberries.

Okay, not enough to throw them a party.

Okay, look, I just, I want to go back to Houston.

Okay, can you just please talk to Dad? Okay, tell him that I'm old enough to

stay by myself. You know, Mr. and Mrs. Eaton said that I could stay with them

at the horse camp.

hey alexis i can't have this conversation with you anymore you can

keep asking but the answer is always going to be the same we are here for the

summer period we are here to support your dad and his need at this time in

his life to reconnect with his roots please make the best of it look

a western wear shop where are the regular stores mom this

is a small town not everywhere has a row of high-end stores that are just ready

for you to walk into no yes we are living in a town where people square

dance rather than do pilates okay alexis i am trying

for your dad but i i i can't live here all summer i already miss my friends and

people they're too nice right who am i gonna work out with thank you um i'm

starting to worry about you

You know, Jackson, Crossroads Springs has been getting along fine just without

you. Nobody's really amazed by your city friends.

You may be all grown up now, but I remember when your pajamas had feet and

you were afraid of the dark.

So mind yourself.

We're Newmans. We're the Newmans.

And we need to present a united front.

Look, my friend, I'll give you that, okay?

But my father never trusted you.

And I'm his son before I'm ever your nephew.

So that's my order of things, okay?

What's the matter, gents? A little trouble in paradise?

No, sir. We were just talking about how beautiful it is out here.

I'll see you back at the ranch.

Don't know why I stayed away so long.

That guy is as full of himself as he was back in the day. Well, you showed him

who's boss.

I did. Felt great.

Is that wrong?

Amy, you don't look tough, but anyone who crosses you better watch out.

That's right. So you better watch out if you want to cross me.

I will.

This post has really given me some insight as to how things work behind the

curtain. Not bad for us either, having family in high places.

Willis, I am not using this position to pull strings. I'm not asking you to

cheat anyone.

I'm just saying you can look out for us is all. Maybe put us up the list a

little. Just a little. That's cheating.

But I will use my post to defend our rights.

So. Hi.

James.

James Hamilton.

Yes? Long time no see.

Cody McIntyre?

Wow, it sure has been a long time. Yep, last time our high school made it to the

football finals.

Yeah, those were fun times for sure.

Okay, let me guess.

You're doing non-for-profit or charity or something?

Close, I'm a pastor.

What about you? You're not so building model airplanes, are you?

Yeah, I'm still under the planes, you know. I got my pilot's license a few

years ago. I'm a crop duster now.

Wait, you're the duster?

Wow. We were just talking about you at the Ranchers Association.

What were you doing at the meeting?

Praying for rain?

You still got a sense of humor.

No, I'm working the ranch now. I'm ministering there.

I run a cowboy church on the property.

No kidding.

I guess we're both going to the Daisy Mae, shall we?

Yeah, please.

She should be out here.

All right, I'll check back.

Maggie. Look who I just ran into, Cody McIntyre. Cody, do you remember Maggie

Johnson? This is her place.

Yeah, I popped by to say hi to Maggie last time I was in town.

Kind of like seeing the old high school gang.

Well, it's great that you guys are keeping in touch.

Yeah.

Well, it's mine. Excuse me.

Got to go organize the crop testing schedule for all the ranchers.

Good guy. Oh, sorry. No, please.

Um, Cody and I used to spend some time together, but not anymore.

Not for a long time.

It's okay. No explanation necessary.

Just grabbing a quick coffee before Aunt Amy gives me a haircut.

Yeah, no, sounds good. Okay, I'm coming right up.

Thanks for the lift to town this morning.

So, we're cousins.

I hear you're quite the rider.

I can take you out if you want when we get back.

Got some beautiful trails on the ranch.

I'm okay.

I'm just gonna be honest with you. I have a feeling that neither of us really

wanted this family reunion, so I was just thinking maybe we could complain to

each other.

Maybe just a little bit.

Yeah.

Okay, yeah.

I wish I could have stayed in Houston at my stables out there.

I had this whole thing set up to be a counselor at the riding camp, and now

I'm surrounded by horses and countryside.

I can't even ride Western.

Well, look, if anyone can empathize with you and your dad and his inconsiderate

plans for the rest of us, I can.

But I'm glad that we get to spend some time together, at least.

And this land, it belongs to the family.

So I'm glad that you get a chance to experience it.

Yeah, I guess.

It is weird. My dad never talked about this place.

I mean, I knew it existed, but he never wanted to show us till now.

It is pretty.

Yes, it is.

Well, I can teach you to ride Western, you know, while you're waiting for your

saddle, if you want.

All right.

You can teach me to ride like a cowboy, only if you promise to at least try

riding English.

But, nope.

You're afraid of jumping. No, I'm scared of falling.

Okay, well, it is really fun once you get the hang of it. You know, it's more

about training the horse than the rider.

You just gotta trust each other.

I can live with that.

It's all right. There.

Cross is a virgin.

Thank you.

I guess that's why God created flower shops.

You don't have to be afraid of a few little bees.

They only sting you if you threaten them. Well, like someone else I know.

You threaten me and my family. You better believe I'll sting. And good.

Did you get stung?

Is that why we're here, Jackson?

I'll never you mind.

I'm taking care of our business, and you can keep doing all the things you did

back in Houston.

Well, there I had my church committees and all my friends.

I just, I feel completely out of place here in Crossroads Springs.

I miss our house, our church, my fancy coffees.

Well, if it makes you feel any better.

I'm not adjusting very well myself.

That rancher's meeting did nothing but irritate me.

You know, my great-granddaddy, he built this ranch.

It's a Newman family legacy.

Daniel, he's treading water, but I have these visions that would make it more

profitable than our ancestors could have ever have imagined.

But why now?

You've been on your own since you were 18. Why are you pulling back to your

family now?

You know, I'm tired of everyone asking me that question.

It's been a long day, honey.

Maybe we put it to rest for now.

Here to cheer you up.

Oh, hey, Janet, hold up.

You were 100% right.

The, uh, patient with the blood pressure issues just sent her to urgent care in

Cedar Rock.

Oh, glad I could help.

Hey, listen, I, uh...

Look, I realized I was out of line.

The policy here is no dating, and you were right.

We're co-workers, and the rules apply.

Yeah, well, the rules make sense, I guess. It just keeps things clean. No

messy breakups complicating things.

Right, yeah.

Like, how awkward would it be if two people who work together did date, and

then maybe one of them had to leave for a residency?

Hypothetically. Yeah, right?

And how weird would it be if he came back, but then the company policies had

changed and there was a new chief of staff that didn't know they dated?

That would be so uncomfortable.

Janet, look, I'm really sorry about everything. About all of this. It's

fine.

Don't worry about it. Please.

you know i uh i did like the big city yeah i uh i learned a lot

and it had everything it had this great little ramen place a revival movie

theater a store that only sells socks but uh

it just didn't have one thing me

Well, I haven't read the corporate bylaws, but I'm pretty sure all-time

health doesn't have a policy against us being friends.

No.

In fact, I think they'd encourage it.

You hungry?

I could really use a cheeseburger.

I'll go.

Only if you'll split the fries.

I'm not splitting. All right, all right. I'll take my own fries.

It's heart-wrenching having to take down the old oak in the back 40.

It's about that time, and if we don't do it now, it's going to fall on its own.

It'll take out that new fence line we're about to put up.

Yeah.

Go ahead, grease this up. Thank you.

Morning, James.

Walter.

Happy you could make it.

This is Lewis.

Lewis. Nice to meet you. You as well.

We're just getting this chainsaw sorted out.

Well, from my years working on the sallows, looks like you guys know what

you're doing. Thanks, Walter.

It's always good to have a second opinion. We appreciate your wisdom.

Thank you.

Wisdom counts for nothing when you're put out to pasture.

Not sure what you, someone my age, can be.

Listen, Walter, while you're out to pasture, you know, grazing, why don't

you take a look around the ranch and see if there isn't something you can do?

Well, it looks like this place could use a good sweeping.

Why don't I take care of that while you guys are out there?

That sounds like an excellent idea.

You know, I think I'm going to put some mint in the lemonade, and then Willis

can tell me that he doesn't like it, because that's how he responds to

change. What, he likes things a certain way? Oh, my goodness, yes.

I switched the silverware drawer two years ago, and he still complains about

it. It drives me crazy.

Well, change is hard.

I'm no good at it.

I'm only finally adjusting to moving here.

It was so hard at first. I was so scared. You know, new house, new town,

new baby.

I forget how strange Crossroads Springs must feel to newcomers.

I mean, I'm just so used to my life here.

Yeah, like Daniel's cousin and her mom.

I saw them at the grocery store looking kind of lost.

Yeah, this is probably a far cry from Houston.

You know, Lewis was mentioning that everyone's a little extra on guard now

that Jackson's around.

That seems to be the case.

Did you know him well when he lived here?

Uh, no.

No, Jackson's someone I barely know from high school.

Oh, sorry, Annie. I don't mean to pry. No, it's fine. It was a long time ago.

But Charlene and Alexis seemed nice enough. Hopefully they found what they

were looking for at our very tiny little grocery store.

Actually, they didn't.

They were looking for kimchi.

Oh.

Well, I mean, I could pickle them some cabbage.

I should do that.

I should pickle them some cabbage and take it over and tell them about James'

cowboy church.

I'm sure they're feeling a little out of sorts not having a place to worship and

all.

Oh, that'd be really sweet of you.

You're better at change than the rest of us.

I don't know about that.

Oh, good.

Your dad's got the truck.

Why don't you start carting the brush over to him? Sure.

There's no need to start carting brush like that. We'll just make a pile and

then do runs.

Yes, sir.

So, you did a good job taking that tree down.

You're the kind of worker I like. I tell you once and you get it done.

Well, I have a good teacher.

Oh, you hear that, then?

I heard. So the ground's nice and wet. That's a good thing.

Shouldn't be a problem getting that stump out of there.

How do we do that? Are we digging out the roots?

Well, you can if you want.

That might be fun to watch.

No, we'll use the truck.

We're just going to wrap a chain around it and then hook it to the hitch and

then put her in drive.

You guys have done this before, I take it. Where do you think all the rail

fences on this place came from?

Yep, waste not, want not. All this is going to get used from firewood. I

appreciate that about the way you all live.

Same things where you can and reusing them.

You know, speaking of which, I don't even think I've ever gotten rid of a

baseball card.

Grandma taught me that.

Yeah, and her mama, she grew up in the Depression.

They made all their own clothes out of flour sacks.

Had eight kids, my mom being one of them.

It is impressive to think about what life must have been like back then. They

were strong people.

Yeah, it was a simpler time, too.

Better in lots of ways.

Well, except when you needed to use the bathroom, which was outside and prone to

snakes. All right, Dad.

Go get the barrel out of the truck.

I'm sorry, the barrel?

Barrow.

Wheelbarrow.

Sorry, Wright.

You see, that's what you get when you do all your learning in the big city.

He's from Indiana, not New York, Daddy. Well, nonetheless.

Sorry, I just forgot you were new to all this.

You're a patient teacher, Mr. Held. Oh, you hear that, James?

Hey, do you think that means I have the patience of Job?

Well, I don't know how Job or Lewis would feel about that, but sure, if it

makes you happy.

You just keep digging. We'll keep talking.

Hey, you keep up the hard work, you'll do well here.

You'd say I've got the patience of Job.

Hey, Janet.

This tastes different.

I like it.

Well, it's got mint in it.

Ah.

Dad said he didn't like it, and then he had three glasses.

Our dad.

Yeah, dad.

And he's actually been really patient with Lewis.

I even saw him playing peek-a-boo with little Thomas.

I remember him doing things like that with us.

Yeah.

I guess he had mom to do all that while he was out on the land.

Yeah.

You know, I was just thinking about her.

Me too.

Evenings like this, all of us around the supper table.

I can almost feel her here.

She's here.

Hey, you remember that song she used to sing us when we were little?

Let it go. It's with the Buffalo Gals. Won't you come out tonight?

Come out tonight, Buffalo Gals. Won't you come out tonight? And we'll dance by

the light of the moon.

It's funny, Janet. I've got some mixed feelings, and I'm not too proud of them,

but I kind of wish that I knew Dad the way that Lewis and Little Thomas do.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I bet they wish they knew Dad the way we do.

Yeah, fair point.

Fair point.

I'm all out of sorts.

Can I share something with you?

Of course.

Maggie and the crop duster fellow, Cody, who we went to high school with, they

say there's nothing between them, but I saw the way that he was looking at her,

and I don't know him. I'm just really confused about it all.

Wow.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, I shouldn't feel awkward about it, but... But I do.

Yeah.

It's hard being in that gray area with someone you care about.

I know a thing or two about that.

How is work going?

Oh, I just wanted that chief of staff position, and then Layla got it, and it

kind of threw me off my game.

But I know she was the right choice.

No, she is more of an administrator.

And you're all about your patience, and that's what makes you incredible.

And then Eric.

I love seeing him every day, but company policy says we can't date.

That must be tough.

Yeah, I love my job. I love what I do.

But I can also see spending the rest of my life with him, so...

I think when the time comes, you're going to know exactly what to do.

And the choice will be easy.

Hey, look at that.

Oh, a ladybug. I love ladybugs. They're so cute. Yeah.

Remember how we used to think you could tell their age by counting the spots on

their back? Yeah, I don't think that's true. Really?

Mm-hmm.

That would make this one five.

And in that case, I want to know it's secret.

We just have to remember our faith.

Put our trust in his path, his way.

There it goes.

Looking at a sky like that makes me not mind it here so much.

This time of day reminds me of my childhood.

Folks inside scooping homemade ice cream.

I'm out playing catch with my brothers, getting eaten alive by the bugs.

You made your own ice cream?

Were you born in the 1800s? Hey, you have not lived until you have tasted

homemade ice cream.

Grandma's homemade ice cream. I still dream of that stuff.

Who has that recipe?

I don't think anybody wrote it down, to be honest.

I'll find some recipes. I'll figure it out.

You know, Charlene, it's been wonderful to meet you.

I got a cool cousin.

But I'm having a problem just pretending that we're one big happy family out

here.

What are you doing here, Uncle Jackson?

Checking in on things.

Usually you do that from the phone.

Well, some investments require a personal touch.

Investment?

Okay, so you just see this place as money. I never realized that you were so

against money.

Maybe that's why this place isn't turning the profit it should. I turn a

healthy profit every year.

More money is not a bad thing.

Money buys things.

It doesn't buy everything.

Okay, I am going to go inside before you two start arguing.

You're not going to argue.

Yeah.

So you're here to what?

Check on my work?

Everything's running smoothly.

Without you.

Relatively.

But you've been doing it alone for too long.

Somebody had to do it.

And I'm not alone.

I have an entire roster of employees who care about this place just as much as I

do. There's nothing wrong with wanting to modernize here and there.

Keep up with times.

Keep up with the... What are you saying?

I hear you talking, but I don't know what you're saying. Like, do you want to

expand the herd? You want to buy more land? You want to sell some off?

Whatever it is that you want to do, none of that happens without my approval.

Like it or not, I'm as much a part of this ranch as you are, and you may think

you can lay claim because you've been here, but you're not the only one here

now. Yeah, I realize that.

The only reason I haven't thrown you off the property, to be honest, is because

we share the same last name.

Wow, look at big, strong Daniel.

Yeah, you might be better in a saddle than me and you could bail hay faster,

but young man, you do not want to get into a battle with me.

You're here for a reason, Jackson.

If you're ever ready to be honest about that, feel free to come tell me.

You know where I'll be.

Right here on the land.

Working it.

With my bare hands.

Not just talking about it.
