Joey!

Hey... you.
How'd you sleep?

So good.

Great.

Okay, uh, checkout,
it's at noon.

Here's a little menu
if you get hungry.

And, uh...

I'll call you.

Hey!

No you won't.

Okay.

Looking good
as ever, Ms. D.

Thank you,
Mr. Van Aston.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning, sexy.
How'd you sleep?

Beautifully, as always.

What's up?

Thank you.

- See you at the office, sir.
- Sounds good!

Good morning, ladies.
How we doin'?

Problem solved!

Joseph will go.

- Mom, absolutely not.
- It's not up to you, son.

Just send Leo!

What? You can get the contract
signed this week.

Listen, it is not
that simple, Joseph.

They haven't signed
the contract yet.

The owner of the property,
she's difficult.

That's where you come in.

This is a very important deal
to Van Aston enterprises.

We have tried everything
to get this piece of land.

Money and pressure don't
seem to have any effect.

We have three weeks to get
this parcel in escrow.

If not, the deal falls apart
before Christmas.

Fine.

What do you want me to do?

Well, as far as I can tell,
you've got one skill.

Getting young women to do

whatever the hell
you ask them to.

You don't know anything
about my personal life.

This is your last chance
to show me

you're capable of,
well, anything, really.

And if I don't?

Well, then,
it all goes away.

The title, the stipend,
the hotel suite...

and the Leo.

You can't do that.

Should you manage
to pull this off,

we will announce your move
from managing partner,

to president of acquisitions
at the holiday party.

You want to be a real part
of this company?

It starts here.

Oh, voicemail.
Thank God!

Gemma. Hey, it's me.

Listen, I've been
thinking a lot,

and I think it's pretty clear
that we're not working,

so, uh, I think
we should call it quits.

Yeah, but remember,
you are a sensational woman

that is going to make
some man very happy some day.

Stay beautiful.

Wow, I really thought
she was the one, sir.

Shut up.

Who lives out here, anyway?

It's a whole lotta nothing.

This is wine country.

Did you know that
80% of the nation's wine

is made right here
in California?

And Chardonnay grapes are
the most popular ones planted.

Actually...

All right, y'all.

Here it comes.
Come on.

♪ What you want
What you want ♪

♪ What you get
What you get ♪

♪ What you think
What you think ♪

♪ You're wasting it ♪

Shit!

My apologies, sir!

These roads could
use some work.

How far are we?

Uh, just up
the road here, sir.

They're not expecting
you until later today.

Do you have any clothes
I can wear?

I can't show up like this.

I picked these up at
the Christmas Clothing Drive.

I was going to donate
them to Goodwill.

Well, aren't you
a little saint?

Shut up.

If money and power don't
impress these people,

maybe I should go with
something a little more casual.

Wow.

Well, that will cut down
on the small talk.

Ah, screw it.

So?

What do you think?

Well, you definitely
nailed "casual," sir.

All right.

Get this car
out of here,

and I will call you
when the deal is done.

I could use
a good cleaning.

Good. You do that.

But don't go too far,

'cause it's not
gonna take long.

What in the world?

Hannah, where's the water?

Come on, Hannah,
I need that water.

Coming, Callie.

- Hey!
- Oh, hi, new ranch hand.

- Let me help you with that.
- Oh, my gosh.

Thank you.

Good thing you got here early!
A calf is coming!

What?

- Hannah, I need that water!
- The new ranch hand has it!

- Who?
- No, no, no.

- I'm not the new...
- Just set that down

and come help me.

Grab his feet.
She stopped pushing.

- I need to check her eyes.
- Oh, my... Oh...

Grab it. Come on.

Come on.
Come on, girl.

You've got this, okay?

You can do it, okay?
Come on.

I need one more,
all right?

Come on, girl.
You got this, okay?

Pull! What are doing?

- Pull!
- I'm pulling!

- Pull it harder!
- Okay.

Come on. You're okay.

One more.
You got it!

Yes, you did it.
You did it.

Good girl, good girl.

Good job.

All right,
let's get it out.

Okay...

You called it, Han.
He's a boy.

I'm gonna call him Joey.

I think that's
a perfect name.

God, you know,
for a second, there,

I thought you were the suit.

The what?

Some hoity-toity company man,

supposed to come by later today

and wave some money
in my face.

- Is that so?
- Yeah, but, uh...

I'm ready to welcome him, though.

I see that.

Hey, Hannah, why don't
you go tell mom

we got a new addition
to the ranch, okay?

Get.

Follow me.

Sorry about
your clever shirt.

So what's your deal?

Most ranch hands show up
a day or two late,

not the other way around.

You know, this is
some beautiful land

you've got here.

It's a, uh,
it's a cow farm, right?

You mean dairy farm?

- Sure.
- Yeah, we have cows,

but it's just enough
for some local production.

Do you make
a lot of money?

Like most ranchers out here,
we barely get by.

Then why the heck
do you do it?

There's more to life
than money.

Yeah, but it doesn't suck,
having money.

I'm sorry.
Okay, look.

I'm not who you think I am.
All right? No, my...

Oh, no. I know exactly
who you are.

You woke up one day
and thought, "Hey.

I'll learn how muck a stall,
round up some cattle.

I'll get a free bed
to sleep in

and then I'll charm
my way through doing

as little work as possible."

You're working for trade housing
with a little bit of stipend.

If you're here for the money,
you're in the wrong place.

Are you coming?

Name's Callie, by the way.
Manny, is it?

Uh... yeah.

Your free bed.

The, uh, key is inside.

There's a list of projects
that have been piling up.

And the generator's down,

so you might want to start
with that.

So what do you think?

You up for it?

Or do you want to go
work somewhere else

to make some big money?

Yeah, I'm up for it.

Okay.

Day starts at 6:00 AM
around here.

One strike and you're out.

Hannah, what are you
doing up here?

I'm sorry! I just wanted
see if the new ranch hand

wanted some breakfast!

Cheese or jelly?

- Oh, I'm more of a...
- You're not hungry,

are you?

No, no, of course not.

Great.

Meals are not included
in this job.

Hi, Manny.
I'm Hannah.

Hi. I'm, uh...
I'm Manny.

Your hands are really soft.

Oh, it's, uh...
it's lotion.

You have a truck,
right, Manny?

No.

Well, yes! Yeah, I mean,
of course I got a truck.

It's just, uh...
it's getting...

it's getting fixed
in the shop right now.

Great. Tomorrow.
6:00 AM.

Let's go.

Be careful.

Oh, dear God.

All done, sir?

Not quite.

I'm gonna need
a little more time.

That's fine, sir.

I could use
a few more minutes myself.

Listen, Leo, this girl,
she is not what I expected.

What did you expect, sir?

I don't know.
I just thought she'd be a...

a girl.

Did you tell her
about the offer?

Nope, definitely didn't do that.

But I have a new plan.

It just might take
a little while.

Are we talking
a few more hours, or...

I'm saying a few more days.

Look, no amount of money
is gonna get this girl to sell.

I need to get to know her
a little better.

You know, figure out
what makes her tick.

So we're staying in town?

Yeah, yeah, would you get
a hotel for the next few days.

I need you close by
on this one.

Where are you gonna be?

I will be here,
pretending to be the new...

ranch hand.

I'm sure nothing will
go wrong with that plan, sir.

Oh, and I need you
to find the guy

that was supposed to come
to work here tomorrow.

What do we know about him?

His name is Manny.

Go on.

That's all I know.

You expect me to find
a guy named Manny

in a town that
I've never been before?

Yeah, and that he was supposed
to start work here tomorrow.

Sir, even if
I find this Manny,

what am I supposed
to do with him?

Just throw him some money

so he doesn't show up
here tomorrow, and, uh...

Tell him someone else
got the job.

- Sir...
- All right, I gotta go.

Sir!

How am I supposed
to find a guy named...

Manny!

Oh, yeah, right,
that's way too fast, Jerry.

I still see a dirt spot
right there.

Excuse me.

You wouldn't happen to be
a ranch hand, would you?

Are you a psychic?

You know, you could have
at least hired someone

who looks like they know
what they're doing.

Have you seen him yet?

He looks like he should be
on a soap opera.

Really?

I saw a picture
of him online...

What website were you on?

Mmm, I don't know.
It seemed reputable.

Um, FarmersOnly.com.

Mom!

I... I'm kidding.

He answered my ad.
He seems fine, Cal.

We've been managing
just fine on our own.

Callie, you cannot run
this entire ranch

all by yourself.

Hey! I help!

Oh! I...

I just think the two
of you could use

a little more muscle
around here, no offense.

Ooh, it's ready!

Have you given any more thought
to the Van Aston proposal?

No.

And I'm not going to.

I told you I'd get another
extension from the bank.

We're fine.

Mom, this land is not
for the Van Aston Warehouses,

or whatever the hell.

It's for the Bernet Ranch,
our home.

Does that not mean
anything to you?

I just worry about...

you being okay
when I'm gone.

Mom, stop.

No...

One for Luma Deli,

and one for us!

Hey, not too many, Hannah!

Christmas is not for
another two weeks!

Oops.

Well, I... I think
they look fantastic.

Mom, you want some?

No, honey, I am...

I'm gonna go get
some rest.

- But, mom, it's not bedti...
- Hannah.

You think Manny
would want some?

I think Manny
is very busy.

So let me get
this straight.

You guys want me
to disappear,

and you're gonna pay me
$3,000 to do it?

Well, yes.

Under one condition.

Now that that's settled,

do you know of any hotels
around here?

What?

Do you know of any
places to stay?

Yeah, I know a place.

Yeah, mom, I'm telling you,
this is the only way

to get through to her.

No, I know it's stupid.

You're the one telling me
that this is the one skill

I have, right?

Yeah, I know,
the Christmas party. It...

Oh, my gosh, come on.
Mom, just give me a week.

Okay?

All right. Bye.

Leo, pick...
pick up your phone.

You've reached Leo...

Where are you?

Perfect.

- Hi.
- Hello.

Your hair is growing in.

Oh, hmm.
You think so?

It looks great.

It's a little thinner
than I remember.

Just never thought
I'd see the day

it would reach
past my ears.

Give it a year our two,
it'll be past your shoulders.

Hey, have you seen
the numbers from the deli?

They're loving the
Christmas theme,

and they want to up their
shipments to two times a week.

Well...

They're stuck with whatever
an eight-year-old can produce.

What if, um...

you helped your sister,
and I upped the ante

with the bakery, hmm?

You let the ranch hand do
the heavy lifting for a while.

There's something
off about him.

And speaking of people
I do not like...

Mr. Van Aston
is a no show.

Oh... oh, I forgot
to tell you,

he emailed about
having to reschedule.

Well, whenever
he does decide to show,

- I'm ready for him.
- Okay.

- Woah! Woah...
- Hello, Connor.

Hello, Wendy.

Sorry.

Thought you were
somebody else.

Who were you expecting?

Some big city slug
who wants to buy our land.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Yeah.

So what are
you doing here?

I...

I, uh...

I thought you and I could
try out the new wine bar

over in Creston,
maybe Saturday?

Connor.

What do you think
I'm going to say to that?

Maybe yes?

You know we're just friends,
right?

I'll see you around.

Don't shoot anybody
today, okay?

Hello?

Hello!

Hey, man!
How are ya?

Thank you so much
for the sweet digs!

And may I just
say, uncanny. Unbelievable.

- You must be Manny?
- At your service, boss!

How do you know who I...

I showed him
your picture.

I'm sorry
if I missed your call.

I didn't hear
the phone ring.

Yes, you did.

And what is up
with this place?

It was either this
or our new friend here

- was going to implode your plan.
- Implode your plan.

What exactly is
your plan, sir?

So I was fully prepared to
give them the whole spiel,

and then the next thing I know,
I'm pulling a small cow

out of a big cow's ass.

Well, now what?

Because I can't deal with
that guy for too much longer.

I think this can
work in our favor.

Think about it,
I get her to trust me,

she cries on my shoulder,
all of that crap,

and then I convince
her to sell.

Make it look like
it's the best move

for her family.

You and I will handle
the rest of the deal

over the phone.
All the while,

her good friend Manny
is helping her out.

Come on! Then the Van Astons
will send them a big fat check

and I'm back on easy street.
It's a perfect plan.

And how do I fit
into to this, sir?

You just keep taking
my mother's phone calls

and make sure that that guy
doesn't blow our cover.

- Joseph, is that your...
- Yup.

Tak'er for a spin!

And buy me some work clothes,
would you?

Yes, I could use a break.

- Manny.
- Hey, boss man.

Hey.

So is Manny short
for something?

Yeah, Juan-Pablo Manuel
Francisco Villanueva-Cortes.

Great, "Manny" it is.

Here you go, sir.
Ranch clothes, as ordered.

Thank you.

So, uh, here's the deal.

I need to look like
I know what I'm doing

- on a ranch.
- Uh-huh.

Can you help me
with that?

Well, it's a dairy farm,
so it's pretty easy.

Do I look like I know anything
about a dairy farm?

Just put my number
on speed dial.

- It'll be fine.
- Okay.

What's your number.

That's the tricky part,
isn't it?

You're gonna have to
pay me a little extra.

And I would love
the master bedroom.

Fine.

Come on...

See if we can get a tune
out of this trombone.

Mom.

Oh...

- Hello?
- Yes, sir.

Hey, can you hear me?

Is that cows mooing?

Yes, those are cows, Leo.
I'm on a frickin' cow farm.

Put the ranch hand on
He's not picking up his phone.

Hold, please.

Manny? Manny.

Wake up, Manny.

Manny!

Sir, he's not waking up...

- Good morning, sunshine.
- What is wrong with you?

Give me the phone.
I got it.

Hey, good morning,
boss man.

What can I do you for?

Hey, okay, they gave me a list
of jobs I'm supposed to do.

I don't know what
half this crap means.

What is "muck the pens?"

Yeah, how the heck
do I "muck?"

Oh, uh, yeah,
that's easy.

All you gotta do is
shovel the cow...

What?

Okay, Houston, I'm headed
to the gulag.

Here's... behind you,
behind you.

Hey.

Call of Duty
or Halo?

- Syrah or Noir?
- Leo...

I promise you, if you play
Call of Duty with me,

you can open my eyes
to the world of Pino New-ear.

It's "Noir."

Gosh dang it.

Okay, let's go again.

Yes, sir.

Hey, can you put
the ranch hand on?

I got my axe stuck
in a stump.

- Manny?
- What?

His axe is stuck
in a stump.

Hey, I got a question for ya.

If you take a squat
on a stump and take a dump,

does it become a toilet-tree?

Oh, god.

Yeah, that's funny.
Okay, seriously.

What do I do?

All right, all you gotta do
is kick the handle sideways,

and, uh, that'll loosen it.

All right,
I'm gonna try it.

Hold on.

I got it.

Hey, that worked.
Thank you so much.

- I appreciate it.
- It worked!

- Good!
- Great.

Joseph, do you really think
this plan of yours

in gonna work?

Have you even spoken
with your mother yet?

Hadouken!

I gotta go, sir.
Good luck!

Hello?

It was worth it.
You should see the other guy.

Yes, I am aware
that we are behind, sir,

but you have my word
we are good for it this month.

Yes, I did.
I did see the notice.

But like I said,
you have my word.

What do we have left?

Ooh, how does it feel?

Ooh... how does it feel?

No, no, no, no!
Oh!

- Yes!
- Player two wins.

A for effort, son.

Oh, don't talk all proper,
Leo, okay?

No one likes a bragger.

I won like three times
before you.

- Yes, sir.
- Hey, put Manny on.

- Manny, for you.
- Hmm.

- Yeah, boss.
- Exactly how do you milk a cow?

Oh, uh, milking a cow
is easy-peasy.

All you gotta do is
pull down on the teats.

Yeah, that's what I'm trying,
but nothing is happening.

Hannah!

What's going on?

Boss? Hello?

You have to roll it
through your fingers.

No, I know,
I was just gettin'...

Gettin' it nice
and warmed up, you know?

Now squeeze from the top
as you pull down.

Hey, I got the flow going.

You don't look like
your picture.

Picture?

What happened to your mustache?

Mustache?

I can't picture that.

Yeah, I, uh,
I got sick of it.

I need your help with
the Christmas breads.

- Come on.
- See ya around.

Can we leave?

Let's just get out
of here, please.

Let's go out and party.

All right, I'm, like,
suffocating in here.

It smells like wine.

Can't do that.
Boss's orders.

Fine, then we'll
party here, then.

Woah, woah, woah.
Stop.

- Mmm.
- What are you doing?

Lesson one, never drink
out of a wine bottle

like a heathen ever again.

Walnut and cocoa bean.

What did you say?

Walnut and cocoa bean.

How did you know that?

Pretty easy, Leo.

You can just taste it.

It's like tasting
an apple in apple juice.

Gosh dang it.

Hey, little guy.
I'm not gonna hurt you.

Strike one.

I need you to come
with me please.

Okay.

I just need the ladder
to get the feed bags, please.

Sure thing.

Sorry.

All right.

They're all expired.

Okay, I'll, uh,
go into town tomorrow

- and pick some up.
- Great.

So did you notice
the feed bins were empty?

What?

The feed bins
for the cows were empty.

Meaning they haven't eaten today.

Yeah, but that wasn't
on my list, so...

Okay, well, neither is
"take a shower"

but good hygiene is still
expected on this ranch.

Noted.

All right, well,
if you're good for the night,

I have to go to work.

Isn't this
where you work?

During the day.

I'm a bartender at The Brew Pub

six nights a week.

When do you sleep?

Sleep is overrated.

Do you really enjoy that?
Like, waking up super early.

Going to bed super late.

Is that... is that fun for you?

- What are you doing?
- I don't know.

I'm just trying to have
a conversation with you.

Well, don't.

Okay.

And, uh, that shouldn't
be out here.

Hello, you...

You know, normally,
chicks run towards me

instead of away from me.

I'm losing my touch.

Okay, okay.

You're...

There you go.

Now where in the heck
did you get out?

Leo, hey, it's me.
I need your help.

What do ranchers wear to a bar?

Hey. What are you doing?

Setting up.

Ho ho ho!

Hey.

What's wrong?

Did something happen
with your mom?

No, she's the same.

But today would have been
her last chemo treatment?

One more try.

That's all the doctor wanted.

I'm sorry, Cal.

Same is good, though, right?

It doesn't change the outcome.

Sometimes you gotta
let the feelings in.

They're not going
to break you, I promise.

Come here.
Come here.

Shut up and play me something.

Can I get another beer, please.

Okay.

Hello.

Hey.

What are you going for?
'80s rhinestone cowboy?

Well, uh, Stallone and
Dolly totally had it goin' on,

so yeah.

You know the movie?

It's actually, uh,
my favorite.

Can I get you anything?

Do you guys have, like,
a Callie Special or something?

I do, but not for people
who have to be up by 6:00 am.

I'll take my chances.

Okay...

One Petaluma Slamma
coming up.

What are you doing?

I thought I told you
to stay in the truck.

I wanted to see
what all the hubbub was about,

plus I got dressed up.

I approve.

There's an entire seat
between us.

Everything is fine.

- I told you...
- And here you go.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Is there a corkage fee?

- Don't worry about it.
- Much obliged.

Don't look at me!

You know, you never thanked me
for finding our friend...

Manny!

- What is goin' on?
- This isn't gonna be good.

- What are you doing here?
- What are you doing here?

Leo, I told you, I needed
to get out of there, okay?

All right? I'm a dragon,
and you need to let me fly.

Callie Bernet, who is
working behind the bar,

is the one who hired "Manny."

And the other "Manny"
is also here.

- You have to leave, now.
- I'm so sorry.

- No, I had no idea.
- What are you doing?

Uh, hey, me...

Yeah, okay, look.
I'll pay you more money,

but you gotta go right now.

- Hey, Manny!
- Connor!

- What's up, buddy.
- Hey, good to see you.

Who are your friends?

Uh, well,
this Prince-looking guy is Leo,

and, uh, this... is...

also Manny.

- Another Manny?
- Yup.

- No way?
- Mm-hmm.

Guys...

nice outfits.

Thank you very much.

Manny here works
at the Bernet ranch...

- Hmm?
- Huh?

Uh, shoot.

I just realized that
I'm drunk already.

- You can't smell it?
- I'll give you a ride.

- Thank you, thank you.
- All right.

- Bye, gentleman.
- Nice meeting you.

Whatever, bro.
See you.

Why haven't you
answered your phone?

Well, Connor,
I'm a little busy,

if you can't tell.

What if I come over tonight
and change your mind?

Really?

Connor, my answer is still no.

You're so drunk.
Go home.

Go on.

I told Liam that I would
take care of you.

You think this is
taking care of me?

Let go.

She said let go.

What are you gonna do about it?

You know, I've always
wanted to do this...

Ouch.

I saw that going
differently in my head.

Enough!

Knock this shit off right now

unless you both want
a piece of this?

Both of you. Out.

- Callie, I...
- I said get out.

Look, I don't know you
that well,

but you don't deserve that.

- Give me something.
- Uh... woo!

Let's give it up
for testosterone!

A one, a two,
a one, two, three, four...

Hey, where's Manny?

He's heading back
to the rental property.

What happened to you?

Just some small town loser.

Were you saving
a damsel in distress?

Turns out, the damsel
doesn't need saving.

I see.

Hey, mom.

Hi.

Here you go.

- Thank you, baby.
- Yeah.

How about I take the day
off today?

Really?

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Here you go.
- Is this for me?

Yeah.

Mmm.

Oh, it's good.

I know it's a mess
in here, isn't it?

I can't bring myself
to clean up the place.

It was my dad's workshop.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

Go ahead.

Oh, my gosh.
Are you kidding me?

- What is this, a panhead?
- Yeah.

Oh...

That's insane.
Is this a rebuild?

- Started with the engine.
- Wow.

It was my dad's.

He, uh, he died
three years ago.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- It's okay.

You know, my-my dad passed
away when I was young.

I wish I could say
it gets easier,

but, uh...

I guess you just...
you get used to it.

Yeah.

Last night at the bar,
I shouldn't have got so upset.

I know you were
just trying to help.

Connor, he's...
he's harmless, really.

He's just messy.

And strong.

Does it hurt?

Uh, no. Looks worse
than it is.

- Gummys or long stripes?
- Long stripe, please.

- Thank you.
- Uh, gummys.

- What's a long stripe?
- What?

These things made
my childhood!

Here, try some.

Here you go.

- Just take it off the thing?
- Yeah.

- Oh, that's pretty good?
- Right?

- Hey, Hannah?
- Hmm.

What is this down here?

- Are you ticklish?
- No!

- Ow!
- Hannah, are you okay?

- I-I didn't mean to.
- Hannah, are you okay?

I-I didn't even touch her.

Oh, come on!
That was mean.

Stop! Stop!

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Okay.

How about some real food?

Thank you.

Dear Jesus, thank you
for this food.

Thank you for Mama.

Make her better!
We'd really appreciate it.

Thank you for our house.

Bless the food to our body.

Oh! And thank you for bringing
Manny here to help us.

- Amen.
- Amen!

Amen.

Please let me
clear the table.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Of course.

And I will try not
to ruin the dishes.

Oh!

I'm sorry.

You forgot your hat.

Thank you.

- Aaw...
- Hannah.

Clear the rest
of the dishes.

Goodnight!

Wow. Hey...

Thank you.

For what?

Well, the last couple years
have been really,

pretty tough around here.
Especially for Callie.

I don't know, that girl that
just skipped out of here,

it's like... it's like
I got my girl back.

And I think you might have
something to do with that.

- No. No, I...
- Hey.

You got a job for the spring?

Well, good. Don't go anywhere,
then, okay?

- Okay.
- Oh, and, um... sorry.

Uh, please be careful
with her.

Her heart, I mean.

She's not as tough
as she looks.

- Yes, ma'am.
- All right.

Joseph,
stop avoiding my calls!

I demand an update.

Your deadline is up.
If you cannot get

that signature,

I will have to come up
there and get it myself.

And I think you know
what that means.

More baked goods
from the ranch?

They need the money.

I thought this could
help them out.

You do realize you have
the power to give them

more money than they'll
know what to do with, right?

How much longer
are we gonna do this?

I have to update your mother.

It's been over a week,
Joseph.

I know.

Pass me the blend,
lover boy.

Lover boy?

I wasn't born yesterday.

I can see it
all over your face.

- Shut up.
- Oh, yeah.

♪ He's in love
with a farm girl ♪

- ♪ tryin' to harvest her love ♪
- Okay, you can shut up, too.

Hey, you really care
about this girl, right?

You gotta tell her.

The longer you wait,
the worse it's gonna get.

Okay?

Watch this!

- No, no, I don't want to...
- Stop.

- No, Leo.
- Stop.

Have you ever tasted
this wine before?

No.

Watch.

Vanilla.

Cherries.

Nectarine.

Aged oak?

- Bullseye!
- Mmm!

- What?
- That is Manny's superpower.

To the best mentor I ever had.

Senor Leo.

- Wow, Senor Leo.
- Senor.

Are you expecting
company, sir?

No.

I'll go check it out.

Look, in the contract,
it doesn't mean anything.

I swear, we can rip it up
right now.

I know you must think that
I am a terrible person,

and you'll probably never
talk to me again,

but I thought you
should know the truth.

Damn it.

Hey.

You know, my mom and I

had our second
picnic lunch this week.

We haven't done that in years.

Thank you.

You've really been pulling
your weight around here.

You sure about that?

I'm not charming my way

into doing as little work
as possible?

I wanna show you something.

This is my favorite part
of the property.

Wow.

These vines are
the oldest things

on the entire ranch.

My great, great,
great grandfather

brought them home
from France in a suitcase.

What?

Somehow they survived,
and viola.

My dad wanted to turn the ranch
into a winery one day.

He really believed in it.

- Wow.
- The wine's pretty good too.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I brought a few up here
just in case.

Do you sell this stuff
in town, too?

No.

We, uh...

We just give it to friends
for gifts and things.

But we do drink a fair
amount of it ourselves.

Wow.

That's actually really good.

Yeah.

What's going on?

I just don't know how much
time we have left here.

What are you talking about?

We've been drowning
in debt for months.

And I don't see a way out.

I can't tell you
how helpless I feel.

Some big city company
wants to buy our land

for a shipping facility.

Yeah, but you could...
you could take the money

and buy an even
better ranch, you know?

It's not about the money.

It's this land.

Every single one of my memories

with my mom and dad are
from here.

Pretty soon, this place will be
all I have left of both of them.

I know there's a way out.
I know there is.

I just... I haven't
figured it out yet.

What's this?

Liam.

My fiancé.

He was with my dad
when he crashed.

We were going to buy
Christmas lights.

We?

Oh, my gosh, Callie,
I am so sorry.

They were gone so fast.

In the blink of an eye.

And now with my mom
ending her chemo early,

she said it was worse than dying.

She's fading so slowly.

I don't... I don't know
which one is worse.

But I bet heaven looks
just like this.

Except on Christmas,
the hills are covered in snow.

I've never seen it,
you know.

Snow?

- Yeah.
- What?

It doesn't snow around here,

and I haven't really had
the chance to leave.

Callie, I, uh...

What is it?

I, uh...

I should probably
go see who that is.

Yeah.

Connor? Can I help you?

I was just driving
around the area,

thought I'd come by.

You've got to stop "coming by."

- I'm not interested...
- It's Manny, isn't it?

I forgot, you
two have already met.

You know my friend Manny, right?

You two work together
on another ranch

or something together?

It's so odd.

Two Mannys in this tiny little town.

Have you seen my friend Manny?

- 'Cause I...
- Look, I don't...

I don't want any trouble.

All right? So why don't we
start that introduction over.

- Shall we?
- Connor.

Hey. Look at me.

Hey, Liam would hate
to see you like this.

I'd like you to leave now,
please.

I'm sorry.

He's... he's had
a hard couple of years.

I mean, we all have
around here.

He was a good friend
of Liam's.

The whole town was.

Liam sounds like he was
an awesome guy.

Yeah, he was.

Keep this.

Maybe we can finish it later.

Leo, hey.

I have to tell Callie the truth.

The deal is supposed
to close tomorrow.

Have you spoken to your mother?

Almost.

And by almost, you mean...

I mean, I didn't, okay?

Sir.

I can't do this Leo.

I won't...
I won't do this to her.

Well, now what?

- Hey.
- Hey.

What's up?

Can I talk to you
about something?

What?

- I'm sorry.
- What is it?

- You have something...
- What?

On your... on your nose.

- Did I get it?
- No.

Okay, wait, wait.
I'll get it.

Here.

What did you wanna say?

Just...

Pastrami or...

peanut butter?

Um, pastrami.

Peanut butter.

Can you help me make 'em?

I can't reach
the peanut butter.

Where's mom?

She's still sleeping.

Actually Han, uh...

Manny was just saying he
needs help feeding the calf.

Do you think you can help him
really quick before lunch?

Sure.

Mom? Mom.

No, no, no, no.

God, please.
Come on, come on.

Hey! Hey.

Are you okay?

Come here.
Mom, come on.

Mom... Mom. Help!

Help, help! Somebody help!

Hey, can you finish up here?

I'm gonna go check on your sister.

Sure.

Come on.

Hey! Let's get her
to the truck.

Come on. It's all right.
It's okay.

Thank you very much.

Okay.

- Oh!
- Thank you.

Just a dress rehearsal,
I guess.

Mom, stop.

It was a hiccup, okay?

Are you positive you don't want
to try the chemo once more?

Mom, the doctor said
trying one more time

could give your lungs
a few more years.

- No.
- And it...

If this happens again
without me close by, I...

Sh-sh-sh.

Oh, baby.

You have that same fight
in you that your father had.

And I love you for it.

But this is a battle
you can't win, Callie.

How do you know we can't win
if you don't try one last time?

Baby, those treatments, they...
they just keep me sick

and asleep in a dark room all day,

away from you girls.

You think that's
how I want to spend my last days?

- As if I've already left?
- No.

I just...

I can't imagine life
without you in it, mom.

Oh, baby. Hey, hey...

Sh-sh-sh...
you have to deal...

You have to deal with
what is, Callie,

not what you want
the world to be.

Are you scared?

Of course I am.

But don't think I'm gonna
let that fear rob me

of a second of happiness
with you girls.

Let's go home.
I want to go home.

What would you do, dad?

Hey.

- Hey.
- What's going on?

What time does your shift start?

I have to leave in 30 minutes.

Why?

Manny! What are you doing!

- Promise you won't look.
- I promise.

Okay.

I haven't heard
that sound in forever.

yeah, well, I thought
I'd fix her up,

Just in case you ever
wanted to, you know...

It's amazing.

Are you serious?

Hey, thank you for today.

For keeping
an eye on Hannah.

She's really taken
a liking to you.

And thank you for this.

You have no idea
how much I needed it.

So I'll pick you up
from work?

Maybe we can finish
that bottle of wine.

See you soon then.

Okay.

No way.

- The ranch hand?
- Yeah.

Look at your face!

Oh! You got it bad!

Stop.

I can still taste
those tangy tannins

from last night's Sauvignon Blanc.

Man, that was epic.

Not as epic as our sick victory

as we rolled those total noobs.

Truth.

Leo here.

Yes, ma'am.

Uh, no, no.
I look forward to seeing you.

Okay. Thank you.

- Mrs. Van Aston's coming.
- Oh, shit.

We gotta tell Joseph.

Let's go.

Everything's under control.
Yes, yes, yes.

Thank you.
Let's go.

Crazy idea,
I'll try his phone again.

What am I doing
with my life?

Man...

The last time I was all
the way out here,

- I was with my dad.
- Really?

He said the stars were brighter
at the edge of the property.

And, uh,
that old dairy barn,

that was his last unfinished project.

He said he was gonna turn it
into something magical one day.

- What's this scar from?
- A jigsaw.

- Got 13 stitches.
- Ouch.

What happened?

Um... Growing up,
I, uh...

didn't really get to see
my Dad all that much.

It was usually
every other weekend,

and he was working
on some engine.

I remember one summer,

we completely rebuilt the garage.

I'm talking like a...
It was a tool bench,

and raised racks, and we did
the whole-the whole thing.

It was awesome.

I loved being around my dad.

Loved watching him work.

The crazy thing is I...

can't really remember
his face, or his-or his eyes.

But his hands.

I could never forget his hands.

They were so strong...

worn... reliable.

I've been thinking
about him a lot lately.

Callie?

- Connor.
- I know.

I knew there was
something off about him.

- Callie, I...
- Sir, she's here.

- Hey, stop.
- Dear God, Joseph.

Why are you dressed like that?

You can't take away
their home.

Well, you couldn't, apparently.

But rest assured, I can.

No, no, you can't.
That's the thing.

Not with all your money,
and all your lawyers.

There's nothing
you can do to get them

to bow down to you.

All right, they've shown me
that this past week.

This isn't just a piece
of land to them.

They have a connection
to this place

that you will never understand.

You've been lying to me
this whole time?

I knew it.

That's what this is?

You've been livin' on
the ranch all this time,

playing house with
the farmer's daughter?

You are a mess, Joseph.

I don't care
what you think I am.

I'm not gonna let you do this.

You can't stop me.

This is the running total
of the cost

for your mother's past medical care.

It is quite large,
and it has gone to collection.

Mom?

Oh, well,
there's more than enough

in my life insurance
to cover this.

It's nothing for you
to worry about, honey.

That would have been true
had your husband

not taken a loan against it
five years ago.

The Bernet Ranch Winery?
Sound familiar?

It can't be.

We are going to increase
our offer for your property

by the amount on that paper.

Your bill will go away,
as will all of your troubles.

Mom, Mom... we can cover this.

We've been keeping this ranch
afloat all these years

by the skin of our teeth.
We can't do it anymore.

You can't do it anymore.

Either we accept this offer

or the bank is going to seize
the property.

Now, there will be
a fourteen day escrow.

Your move out date
will be January 6th.

I can have the best movers
come down here and help.

That's so nice.

But I signed the property
over to my daughter last year,

so you'll have to get her to sign.

We will look over the contract
and get back to you.

You have 24 hours, dear.

This is the best choice
and you know it.

Don't let your pride
get in the way

- of a smart decision.
- Yeah.

I'll see you to the door.

Ah, baby, come here.

Come here.

Callie...

Callie, wait.

- Callie, I'm sorry.
- What's your real name again?

If you're going to call me Callie,

I would love to know
what I should call you.

- Joe? JJ?
- It's Joseph.

Did you have a nice time
here, Joseph?

- Slumming it with us?
- Callie, I wasn't sl...

Look, everything between us,

everything I've felt
for you, it was real.

I'd love to believe that.

But the only I know
for sure right now,

is that you're a great liar.

I only lied about my name.

You lied about who you are.

Callie, I had no idea
who I was...

until I met you.

Now, look, I can fix this.
I just need...

I don't need a knight
in shining armor to rescue me.

Get the hell off my property.

Callie, please don't do this.

I'm sorry to hear
about the girl, man.

You never know.
She might come around.

Not this girl.

Are you sleeping in your truck?

You know that there's
a set up with a trailer?

No, I'm sad to say this,
man, but it looks like

they're gonna sell.

This is just until
I find another ranch

with some trade housing.

How are you gonna play
all your games?

I don't know.

Here. I want you to have this.

For your games.

And, uh, Manny,
I want to thank you

for everything.

Yeah, I guess I'll miss you, too.

Look, no big deal.
I'm coming in.

- Take it.
- Yep.

- Take it.
- Yeah.

- You feel that?
- It's weird.

Yeah. Weird's good.

- What?
- I just can't choose one.

There's a lot of great wines
up here.

Well, you might as well
add this to your collection.

What's this?

There's a small vineyard
on the Bernet ranch.

That looks interesting.

Yeah, they-they brew it there,
I guess.

You don't brew wine, Joseph.

- It ferments.
- Idiot.

Well, that's what I meant.

Whoa.

Oh, sorry,
it must have turned.

Gosh, how did I screw
this up so badly?

- It's not that bad.
- Not that bad?

Leo, I finally found a girl
that I care about and I blew it.

Let me see that.

That's really good.

Are you guys even listening to me?

Did they make this on that ranch?

Yeah.

This is the greatest wine
I've ever tasted.

What is that?
Lavender?

Does she sell this?

No, they just gift it
to friends and family.

They should.
They'd make a killing.

What?

There it is.
There it is, yes.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Oh, Dad...

Turn around.

I said turn around!

Listen to me, if I hit you,

I won't be able to stop,
and I can't do that.

Because for some reason,
Callie made me promise

to leave you in once piece,
so do us both a favor.

Get back in the car, turn around,

and don't come back.

I can't do that.

What? What could you
possibly have left to say?

You've done enough!
She doesn't need this.

She doesn't.

And that is exactly
why I am here.

So come on, man,
just let me make it right.

And then, if you want
to kill me, fine.

Kill me.

We both know I deserve it.

Connor, we want the same thing.

Yeah, and what's that?

Callie's happiness.

I might have a way to
give some of it back.

I thought I saw someone
working up here.

I told you to get off my property.

Please tell me that you haven't
signed the contract yet.

What do you think?

I just... could you
put the shotgun down

and hear me out?

I have an idea that might
help you save the ranch.

Fine. In the late 1800s,
there was a parasite

called phylloxera that wiped out

some of the most
prestigious of wineries

- in all of Bordeaux, France.
- What are you talking about?

But, a few years
before the parasite hit,

immigrants from France brought
grape vines over in suitcases,

to plant them in the rich soils
of Northern California,

creating years of coveted legacy
in every single grape.

Gosh, don't you get it, Cal?
Your dad was right.

These grapes, the wine,
they could save your ranch.

Now, I know a guy,
and he can come out here,

he can sample the wine,
and he'll tell you

- what the grapes are worth.
- There it is.

The knight in shining armor
coming back to save the day

- after all.
- Not exactly.

I told him the grapes
were well taken care of.

This is it.

This is the barrel room.

French oak.

- May I?
- Of course.

Oh!

On behalf of
the Barrel Room Wine Club,

we are interested
in leasing your vines

on limited distribution.

Okay...

We'd be happy to take
your current inventory tomorrow.

If you agree on the price,

we can bring the lease
agreement upon pickup.

It looks like you've got around...

40 cases.

And several full French
oak barrels, so...

My number's on the bottom.

If you're happy with the price,
give me a call.

Oh, and the monthly lease payment,

plus your commission on the sales

should be around at least
half of that each month.

What do you think, Ms. Bernet?

Mom.

What?

- We did it.
- What's this?

Oh, my gosh!
Oh, honey!

Oh, my gosh!
Oh!

Oh, I'm so proud of you.
I love you so much.

No way.
That's the latest system.

Special limited edition.

Oh... oh.

Okay.

Don't get emotional.

Look, I'm sorry, mom,

but this was the right thing to do.

I know it's bad for business,
bad for the company,

but I had to do it.

I just... I've never seen you
so passionate about,

- well, anything...
- There's nothing you can say

- to convince me otherwise...
- Joseph...

- Because I finally understand...
- Joseph!

I'm actually proud of you.

Mom?

For what it's worth,

the position is still yours
if you want it.

Thanks, but...

I think I'm good.

Okay, do you how many guests
we have on the list?

Because last year we didn't
have enough brownies,

and it was...
What is going on here?

- Nothing.
- Nothing.

Well, we just...

We just thought maybe
we'd have the Christmas party

in the old... in the old
dairy barn this year.

Are you kidding me?
That place is a wreck.

Tell me right now.

Well... why don't we just show you?

Go on.

Mom!

Oh, it's so magical, isn't it?

I don't know what to say.

How-how did you do this?

I didn't.

I helped a little bit.

Give him a chance, okay?

Oh, my goodness.

Clever shirt.

- Saves on the small talk.
- Yeah.

Okay, until you get your shotgun,

I think I have at least
a few minutes.

Better make it good then.

All right, um, listen, Callie,

I-I want you to know,
the entire time

that I was working for you,
it sucked.

It was the absolute worst.

You know, I-I was cold,
I was tired,

and I smelled like a cow's ass
the entire time.

Yeah, I remember that part.

But it was the best time
of my life.

And I'd give anything
to go back to that.

Well, your position has been filled.

Yeah, we got a new ranch hand.

He's good, too.
Experienced.

Okay.

But...

I might be able to figure out
something for you to do.

Well, I would need meals this time.

Oh, yeah. No.

Meals are not usually included.

And I would need a place
to sleep.

I think I can swing that.

And you.

That was so sweet.

That was...
So sweet.

I thought you were long overdue.
