00:00:00You know I don't like to lose.
00:00:02Okay, bye.
00:00:04Uh, Connors!
00:00:07Leaving a little early, aren't we?
00:00:09Yeah, I know, but the babysitter canceled.
00:00:11I've got to go pick up my daughter.
00:00:12You're not going anywhere.
00:00:13We have a conference call with the board today at 5.
00:00:16I know, but I...
00:00:17And they're going to expect an update on the merger.
00:00:20This whole baby is yours, Connors.
00:00:22I know, and I'm going to have Fran rescheduled, I promise.
00:00:25It's just this one time I've got to...
00:00:27You said that a month ago.
00:00:28Oh, that was the science fair.
00:00:30It was very important to her.
00:00:32And the month before that?
00:00:33The school play.
00:00:35I... I'm a single mother.
00:00:37Connors, I was under the impression that this job was important to you.
00:00:41Oh, it is.
00:00:42That you were willing to do whatever it takes to close this deal.
00:00:46I am.
00:00:46Because when that phone rings in the middle of the night,
00:00:48I need to know that you're there to take that call.
00:00:50You know I will.
00:00:52All work, no play, 24-7.
00:00:54That is my motto.
00:00:55And you know, when this merger passes,
00:00:59I'm going to need someone I can trust to run operations.
00:01:03Are you offering me a promotion?
00:01:06Well, of course, if you're too busy with this whole Ozzie and Harriet thing,
00:01:09I assume I can give it to Anderson or Martinez.
00:01:13Oh, no.
00:01:13No, no, no.
00:01:14That will not be necessary.
00:01:16I mean, I can do it.
00:01:17I will do it.
00:01:17The FDIC is already reviewing the paperwork,
00:01:20and I am confident that this deal will go through next week.
00:01:23That's just what I want to hear.
00:01:26And Connors, don't worry about that babysitter.
00:01:28You're going to make so much money,
00:01:30you're going to be able to afford a nanny.
00:01:33Kelsey will love that.
00:01:39Honey, I'm just going to go down and grab the mail.
00:01:42I'll be right back.
00:01:42Hey, it's time for bed, sweetie.
00:01:58Mom?
00:01:58Yeah, that letter.
00:02:00Was it from Dad?
00:02:02Um, I'm not sure.
00:02:05Because I haven't read it yet.
00:02:08Is he coming to visit?
00:02:09He didn't come last year for Christmas.
00:02:11Well, um, honey, I'm not sure.
00:02:16Then can we go and visit him?
00:02:17And Grandpa?
00:02:19He'd never go back there.
00:02:21Oh, I know, sweetie.
00:02:24Well, how about this?
00:02:26I promise that as soon as Mommy is done
00:02:30with this silly work thing that I've got to do,
00:02:34we will make a plan.
00:02:36Okay?
00:02:38Okay.
00:02:40Give me a kiss.
00:02:41Okay, go brush your teeth,
00:02:44and I'll be in in a minute to tuck you in, okay?
00:02:46Okay.
00:02:47Love you.
00:02:47Night.
00:02:48All right.
00:02:48Okay, so brass tacks, Sam.
00:03:12What did you find out?
00:03:13It's a subpoena, Laura.
00:03:14Laura, you and Kelsey both have to attend in person.
00:03:18Can't you just tell the judge that I'm a single mom?
00:03:22Well, maybe if you'd come to me when they first sent the summons, yes.
00:03:24But now?
00:03:26Laura, this situation should have been resolved a long time ago.
00:03:29Why haven't you gotten a divorce?
00:03:31Well, I was.
00:03:32I mean, we were going to really do it.
00:03:36I just, I don't know.
00:03:39Then I got the job, and we moved, and weeks turned into months.
00:03:43I mean, I don't know.
00:03:44It's been six years.
00:03:45Isn't there, like, some sort of a common law divorce or something?
00:03:49No, there isn't.
00:03:50Okay, all right.
00:03:55So, so what does this mean?
00:03:57How bad is it?
00:03:59Well, Dylan could say that you took Kelsey to New York without his permission.
00:04:03What?
00:04:03Why do I need his permission?
00:04:05I mean, he could accuse you of a variety of things.
00:04:08Child endangerment?
00:04:09Oh, you can't be serious.
00:04:10I am.
00:04:11Kidnapping?
00:04:12What?
00:04:12That is ridiculous.
00:04:13He could just put himself on a plane and fly his butt down here anytime he wants.
00:04:18You know that's not how it works.
00:04:20Okay, all right.
00:04:26So what, what are my options?
00:04:29All right.
00:04:30So this is what you're going to do.
00:04:31You're going to fly to Texas.
00:04:32Okay, but I can't go to Texas.
00:04:34Oh, yes, you can.
00:04:34You're going to fly to Texas.
00:04:35You're going to explain the situation to the judge.
00:04:37You're going to tell him that you moved for work, and although the distance is not perfect
00:04:41for Dylan, you did what you had to do to give Kelsey a good life.
00:04:45Well, you just make that sound very simple.
00:04:50Look, you have carved out a great career for yourself, but you need to focus on your
00:04:59family, on your life, okay?
00:05:02Hey.
00:05:14Hey.
00:05:15How was your test?
00:05:17It was easy.
00:05:18I'm pretty sure I got an A.
00:05:20You did?
00:05:21Well, I am very proud of you.
00:05:23That's great.
00:05:24Can we get some ice cream on the way home?
00:05:27Sure.
00:05:29But, but first, honey, we have to talk about something, okay?
00:05:32What?
00:05:34Well, you know that Mommy and Daddy love you very much.
00:05:39Yeah.
00:05:39Right?
00:05:40Mm-hmm.
00:05:40Well, sometimes, sometimes grown-ups disagree about things, like where to live and who to
00:05:50live with.
00:05:51Is this about the letter from yesterday?
00:05:55Sort of.
00:05:57Yeah.
00:05:58Am I going to have to move back to Texas?
00:05:59Well, I don't know, sweetheart, but Mommy does have to go to Texas to speak to a judge
00:06:07about that.
00:06:08But I don't want to move away.
00:06:10What about school?
00:06:12Well, I'll talk to Mrs. Gustafson.
00:06:13What about my friends?
00:06:15Well, honey, don't worry.
00:06:16We're going to try to work it out, okay?
00:06:19But in the meantime, we're going to have a lot of fun there.
00:06:21I mean, you love it there.
00:06:22They've got horses and all kinds of animals.
00:06:25No, I don't want to move away.
00:06:27I want to stay here with my friends in New York.
00:06:29Tell the judge.
00:06:55Mom, look at those cows.
00:07:09Grandpa, do you still have all those animals?
00:07:12We have animals.
00:07:13We have, let's see, a couple of dogs.
00:07:16I'm never sure about how many cats we have because we've got coyotes running around all
00:07:19the time.
00:07:20Stop.
00:07:20You'll scare her.
00:07:21And we've got chickens.
00:07:22Well, it's true.
00:07:23There were chickens, there's fresh eggs, and lambs, sheep, got sheep, and we've got...
00:07:30Any pigs?
00:07:31Pigs, yeah.
00:07:32Pigs.
00:07:33Coyotes like pigs, too.
00:07:35Don't scare her.
00:07:36Stop it.
00:07:37I try.
00:07:39Anyway, we got horses.
00:07:42Still got Nellie.
00:07:43Who's Nellie?
00:07:44If you care to know, Nellie is a...
00:07:47Well, was her horse when she competed.
00:07:50You competed?
00:07:51Yes, I did.
00:07:54It was a very long time ago, though.
00:07:57But your grandpa still likes to talk about it all the time.
00:08:02It's cool.
00:08:03Beautiful country out here, isn't it?
00:08:05Yeah.
00:08:06Ready to be.
00:08:06Look at the mountains.
00:08:06How about we make a quick stop in town before we get home?
00:08:16Pastor Frank, we'd love to see you.
00:08:27Come on.
00:08:29Frank, got somebody for you.
00:08:31What a surprise.
00:08:39Great to see you.
00:08:40Good to see you, too.
00:08:43Sweetheart, this is Pastor Frank.
00:08:45Hi.
00:08:46Hi.
00:08:46How do you do?
00:08:48Good.
00:08:48And just, who might this beautiful young lady be?
00:08:51I'm Kelsey.
00:08:52No, come on.
00:08:53You're not Kelsey.
00:08:54Last time I saw Kelsey, she's only about this big.
00:08:56Grandpa said you baptized me.
00:09:00Grandpa's absolutely right.
00:09:02I did baptize you.
00:09:03And my mommy?
00:09:04Oh, no.
00:09:06No.
00:09:07No, I'm not quite that old.
00:09:09But I did marry your mother and father, though.
00:09:11That's right.
00:09:12He did, actually, in this very church.
00:09:14Yep.
00:09:14Right up there.
00:09:15Cool.
00:09:16Yeah, cool.
00:09:17Well, I'm going to show them the sights of Centerville.
00:09:23Great to see you.
00:09:23See you Wednesday, huh?
00:09:24Yes, I'll see you Wednesday.
00:09:25Thanks for stopping by.
00:09:47Well, here we are.
00:10:05Here, wait.
00:10:06Kelsey, get your...
00:10:07Whoa.
00:10:09Whoa.
00:10:14How's she doing?
00:10:17Well, she's afraid the judge is going to make her leave her friends and move away.
00:10:24I can't believe he is putting us through this.
00:10:28You know, it might be that they just want to get to know each other better.
00:10:32Dad, they know each other.
00:10:34They see each other a couple times a year.
00:10:37You know what I'm saying.
00:10:42It's long distance.
00:10:44We live in different states.
00:10:45I don't know what else to say.
00:10:46Honey, you know he cannot afford to fly back and forth between here and New York.
00:10:52You know that.
00:10:53Well, we were just here.
00:10:55It was four years ago.
00:11:01But, you know, then maybe he should have just moved with us instead of staying here.
00:11:04Mom!
00:11:30Mom!
00:11:31Mom!
00:11:31Mom!
00:11:33I'm out here, sweetheart.
00:11:37Mom, I saw a goat and a sheep almost knocked me over.
00:11:43Dad!
00:11:45No one ever got hurt by a sheep now.
00:11:49And Grandpa said he's going to teach me how to ride a tractor.
00:11:53Oh, really?
00:11:55Well, like I said, no one ever got hurt by a sheep.
00:11:59Well, that sounds like a lot of fun, but we've got a really big day tomorrow,
00:12:03so I think we should just get settled right now, okay?
00:12:06Sure.
00:12:08Then we can save the tractor riding for another day.
00:12:12Okay.
00:12:23I'll drop you off at the courthouse and show Kelsey around town.
00:12:29Yes.
00:12:30Well, if you just...
00:12:31Hello?
00:12:32Beth?
00:12:33Are you there?
00:12:34Hello?
00:12:35Beth?
00:12:36I know, I just...
00:12:37Oh, come on.
00:12:38Come on.
00:12:39Busy as usual.
00:12:40Some things never change.
00:12:42Hello, Laura.
00:12:43Hello, Dylan.
00:12:44So, you...
00:12:45Couldn't just pick up the phone and call me.
00:12:47Well, did you ever think that maybe if you hadn't ignored the summons in the first place,
00:12:51I wouldn't have had to do all this.
00:12:53Don't.
00:12:54Don't.
00:12:55Don't.
00:12:56Don't.
00:12:57Don't.
00:12:58Don't.
00:12:59Don't.
00:13:00Don't.
00:13:01Don't.
00:13:02Don't.
00:13:03Don't.
00:13:04Don't.
00:13:05Don't.
00:13:06Don't.
00:13:07Don't.
00:13:08Do that.
00:13:09What you're doing right now, just cut it out.
00:13:11I'm not.
00:13:12I'm not doing anything.
00:13:13I will see you inside.
00:13:14Okay.
00:13:15All rise, Centerville Family Court is now in session.
00:13:20The Honourable Harriet Kramer presiding.
00:13:23Kramer's the judge?
00:13:24Did you know her?
00:13:25She lived next door to us when I was in session.
00:13:28I was in session.
00:13:29When I was in session, the Honourable Harriet Kramer, I have the judge.
00:13:32It's the judge.
00:13:33I'm not even aware of you.
00:13:34I'm sorry.
00:13:35I'm not sure, I have the judge.
00:13:36I'm notary.
00:13:37I have to arrive that I'm asking you, I don't need you.
00:13:40next door to us when I was a kid. I threw a softball through her attic window. Well,
00:13:47maybe she's forgiving you. Nope. No, no, no. We are here for the matter of Hackett versus
00:13:58Connors for the custody of Kelsey Hackett. Are the parents present? Yes, Your Honor.
00:14:02And if the paperwork is correct, the parents' marital status is separated for six years.
00:14:10I believe I have expressed my every intent to reconcile my daughter's relationship with her
00:14:15father. Are you kidding me? Mr. Hackett. Your Honor, my wife moved to New York City
00:14:20six years ago, and that time I've had very little interaction with my daughter. Look,
00:14:24it was your decision not to come. To leave everything and everyone I love behind? You
00:14:28didn't think I was going to make it, did you? You thought what? I was just going to get it out
00:14:32of my system and come crawling back here? Of course not. Your Honor, for the record,
00:14:38I never prevented him from seeing Kelsey. You did that the minute that you moved 2,000
00:14:43miles away. I couldn't see my daughter for Christmas last year because I couldn't afford
00:14:47the airfare. Is it too much to ask if she comes back here for a change? It's not like
00:14:51I never came back. Yeah, the last time was four years ago. Well, you try raising a child
00:14:56while working the long hours that I do. It's not easy. Well, if it's so hard, then maybe
00:15:00you shouldn't have done it. Apparently, she was also too busy to sign the divorce paperwork.
00:15:05Your Honor, our marital status is not the issue here. No, I'm liking it. I'm liking it. I'll
00:15:11allow you to proceed. Our daughter has hurt friends, her school, her whole life is back
00:15:17in New York. And I'm not trying to take her away from any of that. I just want shared custody.
00:15:21Oh, just be honest. This is about getting back at me, isn't it? What? You hated the fact
00:15:27that I moved to New York, and now this is some kind of a revenge. Yeah, my love for
00:15:32my daughter really revolves around a deep-rooted desire to see you suffer. Uh-huh. I knew
00:15:36it. See? What is wrong with you? You used to be sweet and kind. I am sweet and kind. Considerate
00:15:42and humble. You know, I grew up. Why don't you give it a shot? Order, order. It is the observation
00:15:48of this court that both Mr. Hackett and Miss Connors have some issues to resolve. Therefore,
00:15:53this hearing is suspended. What? For three days, until both parties can find some kind
00:15:59of solution. Oh, oh, no, no, no. No, no, no. You don't understand? I am in the middle
00:16:04of a very important deal, and I have to get back to New York, so if... Apparently, you are
00:16:11unable to properly prioritize your life on your own, so maybe I can help you. If this deal is
00:16:16more important than your daughter, then by all means, you leave. But if you do, I have no choice
00:16:20but to award your husband full custody. That is my final decision. This court is adjourned
00:16:26until Monday, February 14th. Valentine's Day. It's perfect. Oh, and by the way, I strongly
00:16:34advise the two of you to use this opportunity to discuss your personal problems.
00:16:38Well, how was it? Awful. The judge adjourned until Monday, and Dylan and I are supposed to
00:16:55come to some sort of an agreement or something. Well, sweetheart, you ignored him for six years.
00:16:59What do you expect? Well, Dad, for good reason. He's egotistical. He's insensitive. He behaves
00:17:06like a child. He won't grow up, and he acts like this is just the simplest thing in the
00:17:09world. Like, we should just be totally fine, and why can't I just calm down, and let's
00:17:13just be... Great to see you, Dylan. Hey, Pops. How are you?
00:17:16You take care. I want to go pick up your daughter over at your Aunt Harriet's.
00:17:22Pops? Yeah? What are you guys, like, buddies now or something?
00:17:27Kinda. That was kind of fun in there. Kind of like, uh, old times.
00:17:33Yes. Okay. You know what? Let's just work this out, you and I. Okay? How about she will
00:17:38come to you Thanksgiving and Easter? Twice a year. Wow.
00:17:44Okay, fine. What do you want? Arbor Day or Summer Solstice or something? What? What?
00:17:49Tell you what. Since we have issues to resolve, and we have to come to some kind of understanding,
00:17:54why don't we start with lunch today? Okay, now you're really pushing it.
00:17:57You, me, Kelsey, I make enchiladas. You're serious. What? You just love my enchiladas.
00:18:04Tell you what. I'll get them started. You guys come on over whenever you're ready.
00:18:08I...
00:18:08I didn't love them. They were... they were... mediocre.
00:18:17Sweet. Don't order too much, okay? We're having lunch with your dad.
00:18:19Good morning, Judy. Hey. Laura?
00:18:21Hey. How are you? Oh, I'm good. Nice to see you. You too. I didn't realize that you're
00:18:28still working here. Well, I actually own it. Oh. Yeah. I bought it from Lillian a couple
00:18:36years ago when she retired. Oh, congratulations. Thank you.
00:18:41Give me a look. This is breakfast out here. You see that you like orange juice. So you can
00:18:49have orange juice. Orange juice and... Cheesecake. How's Emma? She's great. Let me show you.
00:18:58Oh, she's beautiful. She's so cute. I know. She says she wants a little brother, but we'll see
00:19:05about that. I'm really happy for you. Thanks. So, I had to go this morning.
00:19:14Oh. I forgot. Everybody knows everything around here. That's right.
00:19:19Well, you know Dylan. I have been married to that man for 15 years, and he will never change.
00:19:26You know, he might surprise you. I mean, he's been doing great. Ever since his parents died.
00:19:31I mean, he whipped that ranch in the shade. He rebuilt the house, the stables, everything.
00:19:36I mean, got his new business. What business?
00:19:41This.
00:19:45What? Does he make them? Yeah. Yeah, he's doing furniture, too. Look at this.
00:19:55It's beautiful.
00:20:01It used to be our song.
00:20:16Here. Take it.
00:20:19What? Oh, come on. No, no, no. Don't be silly.
00:20:21No, you know what? You know what? This is my homecoming present to you. I want you to have it. Take it.
00:20:25Thanks. Thanks. Thank you.
00:20:29Now, go sit down over there. I'm going to get you some real food. Not that stuff you've been eating in New York.
00:20:55Take it.
00:21:06Are you okay, Mom?
00:21:07Of course, honey. I'm just not used to Grandpa's old truck. That's all.
00:21:12Uh-huh.
00:21:25Daddy!
00:21:27Hey, baby.
00:21:29Oh, look at you.
00:21:31You are so big, you are so big.
00:21:33Oh, I'm dying here.
00:21:35You've gotten so big.
00:21:37Good, I miss you.
00:21:39I miss you, too, honey.
00:21:41Oh, it's so good to see you. Hi, Laura.
00:21:43Hi. Oh, good to see you.
00:21:45Wow, Judy wasn't kidding.
00:21:47I mean, you really, really did a lot of work to the place.
00:21:49Yeah, a little this, a little that.
00:21:51You like it? Looks fantastic.
00:21:53I like the mailbox.
00:21:55Oh, good. You like it?
00:21:57Yeah. That's all right.
00:21:59Oh, you remember Anne-Marie?
00:22:01Oh, uh, of course.
00:22:03Anne-Marie, this is Kelsey, my daughter.
00:22:05Hi, cutie pie.
00:22:07Oh, hi.
00:22:09Uh, we were in the, um, drama club together.
00:22:15Oh, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi.
00:22:17You're active. Oh, just a little bit.
00:22:19A little bit? Are you kidding me?
00:22:21Your mom almost beat me out for the part of Annie Oakley.
00:22:25I did not know that.
00:22:27Almost.
00:22:29So, you're a doctor now.
00:22:33PhD?
00:22:35I'm a doctorate of veterinary medicine.
00:22:37You don't say.
00:22:39She tends to my animals.
00:22:41I invited Anne-Marie to come join us for lunch today.
00:22:43I hope you don't mind.
00:22:45I mean, uh, the more the merrier.
00:22:47Right?
00:22:49I did make her promise to make her famous dirty rice, though.
00:22:53It's not that good.
00:22:55Oh, come on. She's being modest.
00:22:57You guys hungry? Come on in. Let's make lunch.
00:22:59Come on, Daddy.
00:23:01This is gonna be fun. This will be really good.
00:23:03Oh, you are gonna love these enchiladas.
00:23:05You got some rice.
00:23:07And you are gonna love that dirty rice.
00:23:09She's got famous dirty rice.
00:23:11Oh, I love some dirty rice.
00:23:13All right.
00:23:15Here we go.
00:23:17Would you like one? Yes, please.
00:23:19Mmm. Would you like one?
00:23:21It's great, doesn't it?
00:23:23Excellent.
00:23:25Here we go.
00:23:27All right.
00:23:29Wow.
00:23:31We just like to bless our food before eating it here.
00:23:45Oh.
00:23:47Chelsea, would you like to say grace?
00:23:49Oh, I don't know if she really...
00:23:51No, it's okay. I can do it, Mommy.
00:23:53Oh.
00:23:55Hmm.
00:23:57Dear God, thank you for giving our family this wonderful food to eat.
00:24:05And thank you so much for Mommy, Daddy, Grandpa, and Ann Marie, of course.
00:24:13And I really want to thank him for bringing me back to Texas.
00:24:17It's so beautiful here.
00:24:19That's...
00:24:21And I especially want to thank him for bringing Mommy and Daddy back together again.
00:24:25Amen.
00:24:27Amen.
00:24:29That was beautiful.
00:24:31What are you waiting for? Let's eat.
00:24:33Hey, Kelsey, how's those enchiladas?
00:24:37They're delicious.
00:24:39Way better than the food back home.
00:24:41Oh.
00:24:43Really?
00:24:44I mean, it's different.
00:24:47What she means is I don't always have the time to prepare a meal like this.
00:24:53Oh, of course.
00:24:54Dylan said you, um, you're working in a bank back in New York?
00:24:57Mm-hmm.
00:24:59We have branches all up and down the East Coast.
00:25:02Hmm.
00:25:03So are you a teller?
00:25:05I'm the VP of retail banking.
00:25:08Well, that sounds important.
00:25:09Yes, I oversee over 50 branches.
00:25:1275, if this merger goes through.
00:25:15Good for you.
00:25:17I think it's just great.
00:25:18And all while raising a child.
00:25:20Mm-hmm.
00:25:21We do all right, don't we?
00:25:25Must be difficult, doing it alone.
00:25:28Yes, well, I, uh, yes.
00:25:30I have to admit it is difficult.
00:25:32But, you know, we can't all be perfect having a PhD in veterinary medicine
00:25:36and making perfect dirty rice, so...
00:25:38May I be excused?
00:25:41Oh, um...
00:25:42Sure, sweetheart.
00:25:43It's okay.
00:25:46Wow.
00:25:47Where are you going?
00:25:48I'm just gonna go talk to our daughter.
00:25:50I'll take care of it.
00:25:51Fine.
00:25:53What, you know what?
00:25:54And for the record, they offered me the part of Annie Oakley,
00:25:57and I turned it down.
00:25:59No, they didn't.
00:26:07No, they didn't.
00:26:24Thanks for coming.
00:26:26Hey, uh...
00:26:29About before, I'm...
00:26:31No, it's all right.
00:26:32I know it's hard.
00:26:37So...
00:26:39Anne Marie, huh?
00:26:44What?
00:26:46Nothing, I just...
00:26:47She never really seemed like your type.
00:26:49No, no, no, no.
00:26:52Uh...
00:26:53She is just a friend.
00:26:56Oh, really?
00:26:59Just a...
00:27:00A blonde, beautiful, PhD-carrying woman.
00:27:05Laura?
00:27:07She's just a friend.
00:27:09She really likes you, Dylan.
00:27:12You may not see that, which would make you really dumb.
00:27:16But...
00:27:19I do.
00:27:21Daddy, can I stay over?
00:27:24Uh, you're gonna have to ask your mama.
00:27:27Please, Mom.
00:27:29Please, Mom.
00:27:31I don't know, Dylan.
00:27:32I mean, she...
00:27:33She's...
00:27:34I mean, she's never really been around animals.
00:27:36And she doesn't have a change of clothes or a toothbrush.
00:27:40Alright, it's gonna be okay.
00:27:42It'll be fine.
00:27:43Okay, just for one night.
00:27:48Deal!
00:27:49Come here.
00:27:51I have to give your mama a hug going into the house, Peanut.
00:27:54I'll be in in a minute.
00:27:55Okay.
00:28:00Goodnight, sweetheart.
00:28:01Mmm.
00:28:02Love you.
00:28:03Gimme a kiss.
00:28:04Okay?
00:28:05I'm gonna see you in the morning, alright?
00:28:06Okay.
00:28:07Love you, bye.
00:28:08I love you too, sweetheart.
00:28:09So, I guess we gotta figure out what we're gonna tell the judge on Monday, huh?
00:28:24I think I know exactly what we should tell the judge on Monday.
00:28:30You do?
00:28:32Dylan, I think you should revoke your request and grant me full custody.
00:28:40You think that's in her best interest?
00:28:44Well, I think that I know what's in her best interest better than you do.
00:28:49She needs a father.
00:28:58Well, she's been doing just fine without one.
00:29:01Good evening.
00:29:02How many in your party?
00:29:03Uh, three.
00:29:04We may have a fourth.
00:29:05Got it.
00:29:06I got the place for you.
00:29:07Ah, thank you.
00:29:08Thank you, sir.
00:29:09Excuse me.
00:29:10Fetcher from Tokyo?
00:29:11Korea?
00:29:12China?
00:29:13Hello?
00:29:14Hello?
00:29:15Connors, where are you?
00:29:16Paul, hi.
00:29:17I thought I told you I had that thing back home.
00:29:20Yeah, you told me, but I ignored it.
00:29:21You're supposed to be here.
00:29:22Remember, Mr. Takiku?
00:29:23You're supposed to be here.
00:29:24Remember, Mr. Takiku?
00:29:25You're supposed to be here.
00:29:26You're supposed to be here.
00:29:27Remember, Mr. Takiku?
00:29:28We have a fourth.
00:29:29I got it.
00:29:30I got it.
00:29:31I got it.
00:29:32I got the place for you.
00:29:33Ah, thank you.
00:29:35Excuse me.
00:29:36Fetcher from Tokyo?
00:29:37Korea?
00:29:38China?
00:29:39Hello?
00:29:40Connors, where are you?
00:29:41You're supposed to be here.
00:29:42Remember, Mr. Takiku from Tokyo?
00:29:44Oh, I'm sorry.
00:29:47I forgot.
00:29:48Forget it.
00:29:49We have bigger problems.
00:29:50Oh?
00:29:51Parker's helix projections were off.
00:29:53The FDIC is threatening to reject the merger.
00:29:55What?
00:29:56We have to refile or the Fed won't approve the deal.
00:29:59Oh, no.
00:30:00Well, that's not a problem.
00:30:01I can fix it.
00:30:02The first thing, as soon as I get back next week.
00:30:03Next week?
00:30:04I need you here right now.
00:30:06I can't.
00:30:07The judge postponed her decision until Monday.
00:30:10Fine.
00:30:11Fly back up here.
00:30:12Spend the weekend on it.
00:30:14Fly back Sunday night on the red eye.
00:30:16You don't understand.
00:30:17If I leave, she will give full custody to Dylan.
00:30:20What kind of lawyer would let her pull a stunt like that?
00:30:23I didn't bring one.
00:30:27You went to court without a lawyer?
00:30:29Are you crazy?
00:30:30Would you go on a safari without a gun?
00:30:32Would you go swimming with sharks without a cage?
00:30:35When my third ex-wife sued me for alimony, my lawyer ended up having her pay me and I still got to keep my dog.
00:30:43I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
00:30:45Big deal.
00:30:46It is a big deal.
00:30:47The clock is ticking and my future executive vice president is stuck somewhere in Arizona.
00:30:52Texas.
00:30:53Whatever.
00:30:54Look, I brought my laptop with me.
00:30:57I will just go through the revisions with Beth.
00:30:59Fine.
00:31:00But kid or no kid, I want you on the red eye as soon as this is done.
00:31:04There's a lot riding on you.
00:31:06A lot.
00:31:07Do you follow me?
00:31:08I follow.
00:31:13So sorry.
00:31:15I did not mean to dishonor our meeting.
00:31:17Anyone in the mood for karaoke?
00:31:20Not doing business.
00:31:21And if you ever heard him sing, you wouldn't want to do karaoke.
00:31:24Well.
00:31:37What?
00:31:39I see you found your clothes.
00:31:44Well, I didn't bring enough for a week.
00:31:49I wasn't planning on still being here.
00:31:51It's only four more days, honey.
00:32:00Laura, if Dylan bothers you this much, why did you not get the divorce papers signed?
00:32:10I don't know.
00:32:12I just...
00:32:15I kept putting it off.
00:32:16I was busy.
00:32:17I mean, I don't know.
00:32:21What?
00:32:24It just seems to me that someone who runs such an organized and strict life as you do...
00:32:32...would find the time to do something like that.
00:32:36Good night, honey.
00:32:38Good night, Dad.
00:32:39Good night, Dad.
00:32:41Good night, Dad.
00:32:42So why'd mommy stop writing?
00:33:10Whoa, now you know that your mom was like the best rider in the county and she could have gone to nationals.
00:33:17What happened?
00:33:19She had a bad fall. She broke her collarbone, sprained her ankle. That was it. She never rode again.
00:33:24Is that why you broke up?
00:33:27A little more complicated than that, but...
00:33:31Do you love her?
00:33:33Of course I love her.
00:33:37I'm not so complicated.
00:33:43I'm gonna let your mom answer that question. I think you are ready for a horse ride.
00:33:47Yeah!
00:33:48Let's find you a horse. Come on. Let's go.
00:33:50Alright, you think you got it?
00:33:53Yeah.
00:33:54You don't need my help?
00:33:55I can do it.
00:33:56You are an independent girl.
00:33:58Oh, my goodness. Look at that. Wow!
00:34:02So if you had some reins here and you wanted to control the direction of this horse, you'd be able to steer it just like a little car.
00:34:07Like this?
00:34:08No, no, but with your reins. You just hold it like that, you give it a little turn right there, and then you give it a little kick on the side. Boom.
00:34:14We'll take it nice and slow. How do you feel up there? Okay?
00:34:17Yeah.
00:34:18You gonna fall off?
00:34:19No.
00:34:20Alright. You look good. You look natural.
00:34:23Come on, Jackson. Let's bring it up a little.
00:34:25Woo!
00:34:26Come on, Jackson.
00:34:27Come on, Jackson.
00:34:28Give Jackson a little kick in the side. There we go.
00:34:30There you go. That'll get him going.
00:34:32Perfect.
00:34:33There you go. You're doing great.
00:34:35That's it!
00:34:37Yes!
00:34:38You're right!
00:34:40Mom, stand up in your...
00:34:42Stand up in your stirrups a little.
00:34:44You're doing great.
00:34:46Oh, that was fantastic.
00:34:48Oh, my gosh.
00:34:50Amazing.
00:34:51Come on down.
00:34:52You did good.
00:34:55Oh, I'm so proud of you.
00:35:01Judge Weamer.
00:35:02Hi.
00:35:03Hi.
00:35:04I told you I'd see you on Monday.
00:35:06Oh, I just want to talk for one minute.
00:35:07Okay, go.
00:35:09Now, I...
00:35:10I understand what you're trying to do.
00:35:12You just want us to work things out.
00:35:14And I just want to resolve this in the quickest and easiest way for everyone.
00:35:19You mean for yourself?
00:35:21No.
00:35:22I mean, everyone.
00:35:25No, wait, I...
00:35:26You know, I'm sure.
00:35:27I know that you're so busy with...
00:35:29with tons of cases,
00:35:30and I just think that it would be better
00:35:32if we handled this as a legal matter.
00:35:35Yeah.
00:35:36Oh, and for what it's worth?
00:35:37I am really sorry about what happened all those years ago
00:35:41with the attic window...
00:35:42I was a kid.
00:35:43Maybe in the city, people treat marriage like some kind of game,
00:35:45but down here, I like to think of marriage as an institution.
00:35:48An institution based on communication.
00:35:50Now, you've got two and a half days left.
00:35:52I wouldn't waste any more time.
00:35:53But I...
00:35:54Your minute's up.
00:35:55I'll see you on Monday.
00:36:12Daddy, come up here.
00:36:14All right.
00:36:15What do you say?
00:36:16Let's go, uh...
00:36:17Let's go chase after that pig.
00:36:24She's here.
00:36:25All right.
00:36:27Kelsey?
00:36:28Dylan?
00:36:29Are you back here?
00:36:31Mommy, get her.
00:36:33Okay, okay.
00:36:34I got her.
00:36:37You got her.
00:36:38Are you okay, Mommy?
00:36:39Yeah.
00:36:40Yes, I did.
00:36:41What?
00:36:42You all right?
00:36:43Uh, can I talk to you for a second?
00:36:46Uh, yeah.
00:36:47Sure.
00:36:48Uh, honey, why don't you go on and get cleaned up?
00:36:50Okay.
00:36:51Go easy on him.
00:36:52We were just having a little fun.
00:36:53Oh, okay.
00:36:54I will.
00:36:56Uh-huh.
00:36:57You got a little, uh...
00:36:58Little, uh...
00:36:59Oh, yeah.
00:37:00You're a riot.
00:37:01That's pretty funny.
00:37:02Dylan, she's a city girl.
00:37:04She could get hurt.
00:37:05She's fine.
00:37:06It's just a pig.
00:37:07You remember when we first got married and I brought home that pig
00:37:10you thought was so dangerous.
00:37:11It was.
00:37:12It was a dangerous pig.
00:37:14Yeah, and then you liked that pig so much that you named it.
00:37:17I forgot about that.
00:37:20What was it?
00:37:21His name was Hoggle.
00:37:22Hoggle.
00:37:23Uh-huh.
00:37:24And you love that pig.
00:37:25Oh, I tolerated that pig.
00:37:27What, like you tolerated me?
00:37:29Mm-hmm.
00:37:30Okay, you can try and fool everyone that you're like this nice little city girl,
00:37:34but I saw you take that hit.
00:37:36You took that hit like a country girl.
00:37:38Right.
00:37:39Okay, but still, she is a city girl, and you have to be careful.
00:37:43She's fine.
00:37:44Oh, oh, I forgot.
00:37:46You are dating a doctor.
00:37:47Oh, wow.
00:37:49Well, first of all, she's a vet.
00:37:51Oh, my mistake.
00:37:52Excuse me.
00:37:53Sorry.
00:37:54And second of all, we're not dating.
00:37:55We're just friends.
00:37:56I have known Anne-Marie a lot longer than you have, and trust me, she always has an agenda.
00:38:01Okay, Mom, I'm ready.
00:38:03Can Sadie come?
00:38:04Uh, no.
00:38:07Why not?
00:38:09No.
00:38:10Please.
00:38:11Absolutely not.
00:38:31Not be fair to know the truth.
00:38:32Why not?
00:38:33What?
00:38:34I can't do that.
00:38:35I'll see you later.
00:38:36I'll see you later.
00:38:37I'll see you later.
00:38:38Bye.
00:38:39Bye.

00:38:53Bye.
00:38:55Bye.
00:38:56Bye.
00:38:57Bye.
00:39:39Kelsey, do you want some pancakes?
00:39:43Kels?
00:40:01Oh, sweetheart.
00:40:04Oh, honey.
00:40:06I'm so sorry that you have to go through all this.
00:40:11And your daddy and I should be able to handle this more like adults, but...
00:40:16It's your fault.
00:40:17Why did you have to break up?
00:40:19Why did we have to move away?
00:40:21Was it because of your accident with the horse?
00:40:24No, no, honey.
00:40:27Your daddy and I, we fell in love when we were really young.
00:40:33And we just weren't ready for the responsibility.
00:40:36You mean you weren't ready for me?
00:40:38No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:40:40Okay, let's put Sadie down just for a minute.
00:40:43Here.
00:40:43Oh, okay.
00:40:45Okay.
00:40:46Come here.
00:40:46Sit on my lap.
00:40:47Come on.
00:40:47Of course, I don't mean you.
00:40:57We were too young, and we weren't ready for the responsibility.
00:41:02So you just couldn't try to figure it out?
00:41:05Why did, sweetheart?
00:41:07We did.
00:41:08Why didn't you try?
00:41:09I, I, I, I, do you love him?
00:41:17Of course I loved him, honey.
00:41:19No, I asked if you love him.
00:41:22Of course I love your father.
00:41:25And I will always, always, always have a very special place for him in my heart.
00:41:33But honey, your father and I, we're different people, and, and we want different things.
00:41:44And in the end, mommy wanted a change, and your daddy wanted to stay here.
00:41:51But I never even get to see him anymore, and we never come to visit.
00:41:56I know, honey.
00:41:57Honey, well, New York is really far away, and it's expensive to travel, so.
00:42:02But if you got back together, and then you wouldn't have to travel.
00:42:07Honey, your daddy and I are thousands of miles apart.
00:42:15We are from, it's like we're from different worlds.
00:42:17But you're not from different worlds.
00:42:19You're both from Centerville.
00:42:21Honey, New York is our home now.
00:42:25And your daddy's home is here.
00:42:31Come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here.
00:42:36Listen, listen to me.
00:42:38This is what we're going to do.
00:42:40How about you go and get dressed, and then I'm going to take you riding the Equestrian Center.
00:42:48Would you like that?
00:42:49Can Sadie come?
00:42:50I, you know what I think?
00:42:55I think that Sadie, maybe I should stay here and take care of Grandpa.
00:43:00Okay, okay.
00:43:02Come here.
00:43:05We're going to have a great time, okay?
00:43:07Will you give me a little smile?
00:43:09A little one?
00:43:10A little smile?
00:43:10Come on.
00:43:12Yes, you.
00:43:13I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:17Get dressed.
00:43:18I love you.
00:43:43I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:44I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:44I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:45I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:46I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:47I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:48I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:49I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:50I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:51I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:52I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:53I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:54I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:55I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:56I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:57I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:58I love you, sweetheart.
00:43:59I love you, sweetheart.
00:44:00I love you, sweetheart.
00:44:01I love you, sweetheart.
00:44:02I love you, sweetheart.
00:44:03I love you, sweetheart.
00:44:04I love you, sweetheart.
00:44:05I love you, sweetheart.
00:44:06I love you, sweetheart.
00:44:07I love you, sweetheart.
00:44:08I love you, sweetheart.
00:46:09You are. You're hanging out with your old friends. You're teaching your daughter how to ride your old horse.
00:46:14We missed you, Laura. We did.
00:46:17And I know you'd hate to admit it, but I think you kind of missed us too. Even Dylan.
00:46:21Yeah.
00:46:26Great job.
00:46:27You look super. Are you having fun?
00:46:30Yeah.
00:46:34Maybe we'll ride again later, okay?
00:46:36Hey, Peanut!
00:46:48Daddy!
00:46:49Whoa, man!
00:46:54Oh, hi.
00:46:57Hey.
00:46:58What a surprise.
00:46:59Yeah, your dad told me you'd be up here.
00:47:01Oh, of course he did. Of course he did.
00:47:04Yes, he did.
00:47:05Oh, ha, ha.
00:47:07Roar.
00:47:09So, uh, so what's up?
00:47:11Well, I thought since today was the first day of the Valentine's Day Carnival.
00:47:15Carnival?
00:47:16Yeah, I thought we'd go eat some sugary sweets, we could ride the carousel, pan for gold.
00:47:21Oh, I don't know. I, we...
00:47:25Come on.
00:47:26Just like old times.
00:47:27Yeah.
00:47:32Oh, all right.
00:47:33Okay.
00:47:35Oh, thank you.
00:47:36I guess we can all have a little bit of fun.
00:47:39No, a lot of it.
00:47:40A lot of it.
00:47:42All right, I will see you guys at 2 o'clock. Does that work?
00:47:46All right, it's a date.
00:47:48Okay, you know what I mean.
00:47:50You're just, okay.
00:47:52Can Sadie come?
00:47:54Who's Sadie?
00:47:55Pig.
00:47:55The pig.
00:47:57Honey, I think you really wore the pig out yesterday.
00:47:59Probably shouldn't bring the pig to the carnival.
00:48:01Yeah, you know, I think maybe Sadie should just stay here this time,
00:48:05and maybe she can come next time.
00:48:07Okay.
00:48:08All right.
00:48:09Boop.
00:48:09I'll see you guys at 2 o'clock.
00:48:10All right.
00:48:11Bye.
00:48:35Daddy, I'm like a pony.
00:49:02Yeah, that sounds good.
00:49:02Can we do it?
00:49:03Let's do it.
00:49:04Come on, let's go, let's go.
00:49:04Let's go, let's go.
00:49:05Oh, Tara.
00:49:06Hey.
00:49:07Hey, Lou.
00:49:08How are you?
00:49:08Hi, Dan.
00:49:09Hello, good to see you.
00:49:10You too.
00:49:11Hi, look at you, Emma.
00:49:14You feel so big.
00:49:16You guys are having a good time.
00:49:19Woo.
00:49:20Natural country girl.
00:49:22Look at that.
00:49:22Look at that.
00:49:23Yes, we are.
00:49:26How's it going?
00:49:27It's good.
00:49:28You know, he's been really looking forward to this.
00:49:31Oh, really?
00:49:32Yep, yep.
00:49:33Really?
00:49:34Honey.
00:49:34What?
00:49:34What?
00:49:35Look, I'm only saying what he said.
00:49:38You know what?
00:49:38We're going to go ride the ponies.
00:49:39Yeah, good idea.
00:49:40Go ride the ponies.
00:49:44Looks like Kelsey's having a great time over there on that pony.
00:49:47She's really having a blast.
00:49:49I mean, there's nothing like this in New York City.
00:49:52On New York City Street Fair, there are no ponies.
00:49:56Well, I'm not sure it's really the pony that's making her so happy.
00:50:01You guys look good together.
00:50:04I know.
00:50:05It's just, it's not that simple.
00:50:08Isn't it?
00:50:10What do you want, babe?
00:50:14Bye.
00:50:14Dylan.
00:50:17Hey, Anne-Marie.
00:50:18How are you doing?
00:50:19Well, good.
00:50:19How are you doing?
00:50:20Uh-oh.
00:50:21How about that?
00:50:22Uh, excuse me?
00:50:25Chelsea, look who's here.
00:50:26Anne-Marie's here.
00:50:27Hi.
00:50:29Hi, sweetie.
00:50:32Look at her go.
00:50:33Hmm.
00:50:34Not bad.
00:50:34Not bad.
00:50:35Think she had a good teacher.
00:50:37Hmm.
00:50:37You know.
00:50:39Hi.
00:50:40Oh, is that yours?
00:50:42Thanks.
00:50:42Yeah, so, um, why don't you let us have a little, a little family time.
00:50:50Alone.
00:50:53That's funny.
00:50:54Hey, Anne-Marie, why don't we, uh, call you tomorrow.
00:50:57Nice seeing you.
00:50:59Yeah.
00:50:59All right, have fun tonight.
00:51:01Talk to you later.
00:51:02Bye.
00:51:03Bye.
00:51:03Bye.
00:51:04Bye.
00:51:04Oh, bye.
00:51:06Oh, no, she doesn't like you at all.
00:51:11So, a little family time, huh?
00:51:15You know what I mean.
00:51:16Yeah.
00:51:19I want to ride on the carousel.
00:51:21You want to ride the carousel?
00:51:22Okay.
00:51:23All right, sounds good.
00:51:23We'll do that.
00:51:25We'll do it as a family.
00:51:27Uh, would you, you know, that's enough.
00:51:29Ugh.
00:51:31Ugh.
00:51:31Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
00:54:11So, you start.
00:54:15I guess I just wanted to say that despite what you may think I hope that you know that I didn't
00:54:29mean for any of this to be difficult for your Kelsey I know you know after a lot of
00:54:45the same friend of mine who was here in the end of the week I just wanted to say is that
00:55:03you need your help to get your help to get your help.
00:57:38He's burned through his capital and he's running it at a severe loss.
00:57:42He's bankrupt, Laura.
00:57:43But his ranch...
00:57:46Did you know it was up for sale?
00:57:49He's selling the ranch?
00:57:51Yeah, apparently it's the only thing of value he has left.
00:57:53But, Sam, that's very important to him.
00:57:58It's been in his family for generations.
00:58:00I know.
00:58:01But the fact is, there's no way that he can support Kelsey.
00:58:04And there is not a judge in this state that's going to grant him custody, shared or otherwise.
00:58:11Laura, I thought you'd be happier about this.
00:58:14I know, I know.
00:58:16Um, have you told anyone else about this?
00:58:21Just you.
00:58:22Okay, good.
00:58:23Keep it that way.
00:58:25You do understand what I said, right?
00:58:27You can't lose.
00:58:29I know.
00:58:29I just...
00:58:31Just let me think about it first.
00:58:34Okay?
00:58:35Okay.
00:58:36Of course.
00:58:36I mean, it's your decision.
00:58:37But just remember, you have to be before the judge on the 14th.
00:58:40And that's the day after tomorrow.
00:58:42I'll be on a red-eye tomorrow night.
00:58:44Then I will see you in the courthouse.
00:58:47Okay?
00:58:49I'll see you then.
00:58:51Bye.
00:58:51Bye.
00:59:14I am hungry.
00:59:17We'll set you down there.
00:59:18What would you like?
00:59:19Um, pancakes.
00:59:22Uh-huh.
00:59:24Laura, come down for breakfast.
00:59:27Laura!
00:59:27Yeah, I'll be right down.
00:59:31Hello?
00:59:32It's Sunday morning, and guess where I am?
00:59:35I...
00:59:36I'm in my office doing the extra paperwork you were supposed to be doing.
00:59:40Well, I'm not actually doing it myself.
00:59:42Actually, I'm more like supervising.
00:59:44Not that you would know because you were not on the call yesterday.
00:59:48Oh, I'm sorry.
00:59:50I forgot.
00:59:50I know.
00:59:51I know.
00:59:51You're too busy hayriding or cow tipping.
00:59:53Or whatever it is you're doing down in New Mexico.
00:59:55Texas.
00:59:56Whatever.
00:59:56Connors, I like you.
00:59:58You know that.
00:59:58Which is the only reason, as far as I'm concerned, that you still have a job.
01:00:02You should be managing this.
01:00:04Would you stop worrying about it?
01:00:06I have been speaking to Beth, and we have the entire situation under control.
01:00:10I think you should know I had a lovely conversation with Anderson yesterday, and I think he would
01:00:14really appreciate that promotion.
01:00:17Stop worrying about it.
01:00:19Everything is going to be fine.
01:00:21I'd worry less if you were here.
01:00:24You know what?
01:00:25If you'll excuse me, Paul, I'm actually going to go have breakfast with my father and my daughter,
01:00:30and I am going to call you as soon as I am out of court in tomorrow.
01:00:33Wait a minute.
01:00:34Okay.
01:00:34I have one more thing.
01:00:35Bye.
01:00:35Bye.
01:00:35Bye.
01:00:35So how was the carnival?
01:00:47It was awesome.
01:00:48Uh-huh.
01:00:49Mommy and Daddy kissed.
01:00:52They what?
01:00:55They kissed.
01:00:58Morning.
01:00:59Good morning, darling.
01:01:01What's for breakfast?
01:01:03Pancakes.
01:01:03So what are you girls going to do on this bright sunny day?
01:01:09Well, I was thinking that we might go to church.
01:01:14What did you say?
01:01:15I said we might go to church.
01:01:20Really?
01:01:26And today I want to talk about something I haven't talked about very much in this church.
01:01:30Hello.
01:01:34Something that is very important.
01:01:36I want to talk about marriage.
01:01:38Now, I've married a lot of couples over the years, some of whom are actually sitting in this church right now.
01:01:44They always come to me with the same wish.
01:01:47They want a perfect marriage.
01:01:49So today I want to ask everybody here, exactly what is that?
01:01:53What is a perfect marriage?
01:01:55A wife might tell me that a perfect marriage is one where her husband is devoted without question.
01:02:00He's loyal.
01:02:00He's deeply sensitive to her needs.
01:02:03But a husband might tell me a perfect marriage is one where the wife goes out on Sunday afternoon so he can sit down and watch the game.
01:02:10Yeah, my point is, everyone has their own definition of what a perfect marriage should be.
01:02:17And as long as that's the case, no marriage can ever truly be perfect.
01:02:23Perhaps the question is not what we want a relationship to be, but rather what we need one to be.
01:02:29Maybe there's an emptiness inside their soul.
01:02:31They're looking for something to fill it.
01:02:32But marriage is not some kind of spiritual spackle.
01:02:38See, only God can fill that void.
01:02:40What we need is a partnership.
01:02:42And that, like any partnership, takes skill, takes effort.
01:02:50Look at there, we're on time.
01:02:51Now, go ye therefore out into the world and love one another.
01:02:53Go on.
01:02:57Thank you for coming.
01:02:58It's a pleasure.
01:03:00Oh, you're welcome.
01:03:01The shorter and more inspirational, the better.
01:03:05Thanks a lot.
01:03:16Hang on.
01:03:19You know, you can always come to me if you ever need anything.
01:03:25Ever.
01:03:26Thanks.
01:03:26I know how hard you've been working to rebuild your ranch and start your career.
01:03:35And I know that's not cheap, so I just...
01:03:38Who told you?
01:03:41My lawyer.
01:03:42I didn't want you to know.
01:03:45I know.
01:03:46But you realize if this got out...
01:03:49It's a little bit late for that, isn't it?
01:03:50Not necessarily.
01:03:52I guess I should congratulate you then.
01:03:54Wait.
01:03:55I don't...
01:03:56What?
01:03:57Well, you finally got what you want.
01:03:58Reason to take Kelsey away from me for good.
01:04:01All I'm saying is that you could have come to me sooner.
01:04:04Well, that would have gone over great.
01:04:05You don't have to deal with this alone.
01:04:08No, I thought things were getting better for us.
01:04:10They were.
01:04:11They are.
01:04:12They are.
01:04:12And what?
01:04:13You were just out there looking for information to use against me?
01:04:15Did I say I was going to use any of this against you?
01:04:17You don't have to.
01:04:18I said I want to help you.
01:04:20Oh, yeah, great.
01:04:21I can't support myself, so I had to accept money from my soon-to-be ex-wife.
01:04:25The judge is just going to love that.
01:04:26I don't want you to lose everything.
01:04:29I don't care.
01:04:30I don't care about my business.
01:04:32I don't care about the ranch.
01:04:33I don't care what anyone thinks about me.
01:04:35All I care about is my little girl.
01:04:36I know that.
01:04:38Is that why you hired your lawyer?
01:04:40Because you care so much about how I feel?
01:04:42Dylan, I didn't know what was going to happen.
01:04:45I guess that makes two of us.
01:04:47Well, maybe we both made a mistake.
01:04:50Yeah.
01:04:51I think you might be right.
01:04:53Wait, Dylan, Dylan, wait.
01:04:54No, I'll talk to you tomorrow.
01:04:55Wait!
01:04:59Daddy!
01:05:00Sure you're not now.
01:05:05What happened?
01:05:06What did you say?
01:05:07Oh, no, nothing, sweetheart.
01:05:09You drove him away again, didn't you?
01:05:11No, no, no, I didn't.
01:05:13Stay away from me.
01:05:14I don't want to talk to you.
01:05:20Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:05:21Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:05:21You never used to have to go away from me.
01:05:22Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:05:23I don't want to talk to you.
01:05:24All I can tell you about it.
01:05:24What?
01:05:24I don't want to talk to you.
01:09:50Well, I don't know, sweetie.
01:09:54That's up to the judge.
01:09:56But what do you want to happen?
01:09:59I want to go home.
01:10:01You do?
01:10:01And I want daddy and Sadie to come, too.
01:10:09Well, we'll see what mommy can do, okay?
01:10:13Okay.
01:10:15Good night.
01:10:16Good night.
01:10:18Love you.
01:10:19Love you.
01:10:19Sweet treat.
01:10:21Oh, hey.
01:10:40You sure look good out there today.
01:10:44It's been a long time since I've been in a saddle, that's for sure.
01:10:50Yeah, well, you look good.
01:10:56Thanks, dad.
01:11:26Okay, thanks.
01:11:31Share the world.
01:11:33It's free to meet the people.
01:11:35It's nothing to do.
01:11:37Thanks, dad.
01:11:38Good night.
01:11:39Thanks, dad.
01:11:39Thanks.
01:11:40Thanks, dad.
01:11:41Thanks.
01:12:14You okay?
01:12:31Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
01:12:44All rise. Centerville Family Court is now in session. The Honorable Harriet Kramer presiding.
01:12:53We are here to resume the matter of Hackett versus Connors for the custody of Kelsey Hackett.
01:13:03I see both parents are present, so if there are no objections, we may move forward.
01:13:07Your Honor, I would like to make a statement.
01:13:10I don't suppose no is an option.
01:13:12Your Honor, I left Centerville six years ago to pursue a job in New York, and that job turned into a terrific career.
01:13:19And I brought my daughter with me because I didn't think that my husband was capable of raising a little girl.
01:13:28I blamed Dylan for everything because I never really believed that he took our marriage or being a father seriously.
01:13:36But I was wrong.
01:13:42What are you doing?
01:13:44What I should have done in the first place.
01:13:47I was the one who left.
01:13:51I was the one who prevented him from seeing his little girl except for a handful of visits.
01:13:57And I was the one that was so busy that I couldn't even handle the divorce paperwork.
01:14:05I neglected my family, my friends, my church, and my husband.
01:14:16A good friend told me that I shouldn't judge him too quickly.
01:14:22And she was right.
01:14:25I mean, look at him.
01:14:26He, he, he's fixed up the ranch.
01:14:30He started his own business and all the while remaining dedicated to his family and friends.
01:14:37I think that he deserves an opportunity to be a father for Kelsey.
01:14:45And I have decided that I am not going to stand in the way of that.
01:14:49So, if you still want me to sign that paperwork, I will.
01:14:59Thank you very much, Laura, for that very thoughtful statement.
01:15:03Now, if there are no further objections, we may move forward.
01:15:05Your Honor, I would like to make a statement, too.
01:15:08Oh, why not?
01:15:13See, I've missed my daughter, Kelsey, more than anything in the whole world.
01:15:16And these past years, since she's been so far away, it's broken my heart in more ways than words can describe.
01:15:24But I haven't been totally honest.
01:15:30You see, starting a business is not easy and it's not cheap.
01:15:35But the truth of the matter is, is that I'm broke.
01:15:42I even had to put up a family farm just to make ends meet.
01:15:48So, while I love my daughter, Kelsey, with all my heart, the truth is, is that I just don't have the money to support her in the manner in which she deserves.
01:15:56Not alone, Laura, I know that our relationship has had its bumps and bruises.
01:16:13And I've found you at times to be uncompromising, obstinate, stubborn.
01:16:18But these last few days, I've remembered that you are also honest, kind, sweet, loving, and above all, brave.
01:16:35I saw this girl take a hit from a pig like a true country girl.
01:16:40Laura, I think it's amazing that you made it in New York.
01:16:44And I think it's even more amazing that you raised our daughter all by herself there.
01:16:48All those years ago, I will admit I didn't follow you because I didn't think you'd make it.
01:16:59I was wrong.
01:17:02You should have had more faith in you.
01:17:05For that, I'm sorry.
01:17:09I don't know much about the city.
01:17:12I know I don't know a lot about a lot of things.
01:17:15But I do know this.
01:17:18I want Kelsey back in my life.
01:17:21But I also want you.
01:17:24I don't want custody.
01:17:26Because I don't want a divorce.
01:17:29Laura, I love you.
01:17:32I want to be with you.
01:17:34Except this time for good.
01:17:37So if that offer to move to the city with you still stands,
01:17:40I'd like to discuss it.
01:17:42I love you too, Dylan.
01:17:46I love you too, Dylan.
01:17:57Order, order, order.
01:17:59Now I can see that when I advised you two to discuss your personal matters,
01:18:03you took me seriously.
01:18:05I see no reason to move further.
01:18:07So unless either of you party disagree, this court is adjourned.
01:18:15Yeah.
01:18:15It's Paul.
01:18:22I have to take it, and it will take one second.
01:18:26Hi, Paul.
01:18:28Excellent news, Connors.
01:18:30Beth three submitted the paperwork you sent her.
01:18:32Looks like the feds are going to okay the deal after all.
01:18:35That is fantastic news.
01:18:38You see, I told you you had nothing to worry about.
01:18:40So, everything's said down there in Arkansas?
01:18:43It's Texas, Paul.
01:18:45My secretary has booked you on a 3.30 flight back to New York.
01:18:50Oh, you know, I think I'm actually going to stick around here for a few days.
01:18:55What?
01:18:55Well, everything's all wrapped up over there, so I don't see any real need to rush back.
01:19:00But...
01:19:00And that executive vice president offer?
01:19:03Yeah, about that.
01:19:04I accept.
01:19:05But...
01:19:06On one condition.
01:19:08Okay, what?
01:19:10I want to work from home one day a week, and no nights, and no weekends.
01:19:15I want to spend time with my family.
01:19:18Okay, Connors, I think we can accommodate that.
01:19:21Oh, and one more thing.
01:19:23All right.
01:19:24It's Hackett.
01:19:26I don't care what you call yourself, as long as you get the job done.
01:19:30Bye, Paul.
01:19:31Happy Valentine's Day.
01:19:36Family values.
01:19:38Wow.
01:19:38I like it.
01:19:43Give me marketing.
01:19:46Whoever's there.
01:19:47Yeah.
01:19:48Yeah, it's Paul.
01:19:49Yeah.
01:19:50Okay, I'll wait.
01:19:54Yay.
01:19:54Oh, boy.
01:19:57This is just going to be so good, isn't it?
01:19:58It is.
01:19:58Oh, bravo!
01:20:00Hey!
01:20:00Hi!
01:20:02There we are.
01:20:03Hey!
01:20:04Oh, man, you are big and fat.
01:20:05Your shoes.
01:20:06Never forget that.
01:20:08Hi.
01:20:08Her travels fast.
01:20:10Hey, there we are.
01:20:11Congratulations.
01:20:13We're going to get a shot.
01:20:13We're so good.
01:20:15You sure are patient.
01:20:18Welcome home, honey.
01:20:22Welcome home, honey.
01:20:23Thank you very much.
01:20:24Good work.
01:20:25I can't tell you how proud I am.
01:20:27Great job.
01:20:28You know, I was thinking about what you said at the service yesterday, and while I don't
01:20:31know what a perfect marriage is, I'm sure I'm ready to put all the effort and hard work
01:20:35and everything I can into my family.
01:20:38All right.
01:20:38That's great.
01:20:39Thank you, sir.
01:20:40All right.
01:20:41All right.
01:20:41We will.
01:20:42Thank you, sir.
01:20:42Bye.
01:20:43We'll see you next time.
01:20:43All right, you guys.
01:20:44Bye.
01:20:45Don't forget to say goodbye to your friends.
01:20:46Okay, we'll see you soon.
01:20:46Bye.
01:20:48Oh, yeah.
01:20:49Yeah.
01:20:50You'll send me the bill.
01:20:52Oh, yeah.
01:20:53Oh, my God.
01:20:54Well?
01:20:56So?
01:20:56What do we do now?
01:20:59I don't know.
01:21:01Well, there is room for you in New York.
01:21:04There she is.
01:21:05As long as you promise not to give up the ranch.
01:21:08Come on.
01:21:09Well, we're going to need a place to stay when we come back and visit, aren't we?
01:21:12All right.
01:21:13Yes.
01:21:13Right?
01:21:14Wouldn't you like that?
01:21:15Yes.
01:21:15Stay here and tell her.
01:21:16We can let that happen.
01:21:17That sounds good.
01:21:18Good.
01:21:18I never...
01:21:20I don't want to forget where we came from.
01:21:25So what now?
01:21:27I think that we should all go for a ride.
01:21:31On horses?
01:21:32Yeah.
01:21:33Oh, really?
01:21:34Oh, yes.
01:21:34You want to do that?
01:21:35Yes.
01:21:36Let's go.
01:21:36Come on now.
01:21:36Let's go.
01:21:37Ready?
01:22:04Let's go.
01:22:07Come on now.
01:22:16Okay.
