Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Grandma Hannah always said, all it takes is just one moment to change everything.
00:00:19For Grandma Hannah and Grandpa Charlie, that moment happened the day they first saw the Inn at Apple Hill.
00:00:30They worked day and night, creating magical moments, not only for their guests, but for each other.
00:00:42Their son, my father, grew up at Apple Hill.
00:00:45And so after I was born, the Inn remained a constant presence in our lives.
00:00:52Apple Hill was a place where I could be anyone, do anything.
00:00:58All under the watchful eyes of my loving grandparents.
00:01:02All it takes is just one moment to change everything.
00:01:08Even moments beyond your control.
00:01:12After Grandma and Grandpa passed, I couldn't let that moment happen without taking action.
00:01:17After all, what was the value of my grandparents' efforts if I didn't step in to keep their
00:01:22magic alive?
00:01:24And it wasn't too long after securing the purchase of Apple Hill that I found myself
00:01:28signing a different set of papers.
00:01:30Then it's settled.
00:01:31Mr. Jones will assume ownership of the cabin.
00:01:34And Mrs. Jones will take...
00:01:36Ms. Jacobs.
00:01:37Ms. Jacobs will take full ownership of Inn at Apple Hill.
00:01:42There's my liability I'm happy to say goodbye to.
00:01:48You never took even one moment to understand why Apple Hill is so important to me.
00:02:00Unlike Trent's lack of confidence in Apple Hill, I knew it just needed some TLC to bring
00:02:05it back to life.
00:02:07And I was up for the challenge.
00:02:09I can't touch the sky, nose and nose.
00:02:21I'm time to spread our wings and fly.
00:02:23Into the great wild world!
00:02:24Hi!
00:02:25I've been handing out umbrellas because it's raining so I just wanted to...
00:02:30Let me move you to another table.
00:02:31I'm sure we can just...
00:02:33I...
00:02:34There were some unforeseen issues along the way.
00:02:38I will get it fixed as soon as I possibly can. I'm so sorry.
00:02:43Okay, we have a blender and a microwave, and I'm sure we could, you know, oh, Steve, please.
00:02:51But there were some wins, too.
00:02:53On behalf of all of us at Inn at Apple Hill, we're honored to be named a Landover Historic Destination.
00:03:04Short-lived as they might be.
00:03:08We're working on that.
00:03:10Thanks, guys.
00:03:21These electrical changes will allow us to open three additional rooms.
00:03:26So you're not at full occupancy?
00:03:30There are not enough extension cords in the world.
00:03:33These changes will allow us to be at full capacity.
00:03:38And you think this will be as good as the day that Charlie and Hannah first opened their doors?
00:03:43That's the plan.
00:03:45But, you know, um...
00:03:46Hard times came to Charlie and Hannah as well.
00:03:51They had to defer a lot of maintenance just to get by.
00:03:54Ugh, I am painfully aware of that.
00:03:58But you have to start somewhere, Ted.
00:04:00And this is what they would have wanted.
00:04:02They would have wanted you to run an inn that's hanging by a thread on your own?
00:04:07I'm doing this to pick up where my grandma and grandpa left off.
00:04:15A lot of the larger hoteliers are partnering up with the boutique inns.
00:04:19A scout from Heston Hotels came last week, and it's like they smelled blood in the water.
00:04:23Well, partnering with them would help buffer Apple Hill from the slower months.
00:04:28It would help pay for unanticipated expenses.
00:04:31I would become an employee at my own business.
00:04:39At least I can't approve a loan.
00:04:41Not without a 15% gross profit.
00:04:47Then I will get there.
00:04:50Look, that sounds great.
00:04:53But if your grandparents were here right now, they would say the same thing.
00:04:57I mean, what you want, all this, it's just not realistic.
00:05:03I'm sorry.
00:05:13Yeah, no, no, no, I know I said 12, but you know what I always say?
00:05:16If you are on time, you are in fact late.
00:05:19It's lightened up.
00:05:20It's a joke, Adam.
00:05:21It's...
00:05:22Hello?
00:05:23Adam?
00:05:25Hello?
00:05:25Hello?
00:05:27No, thank you.
00:05:28Not during our lunch date.
00:05:32I was told this was a business meeting.
00:05:35Unfortunately, son, it's the only way I could get you to commit.
00:05:38It's time for us to celebrate.
00:05:41I'm going to stick with my regular double espresso.
00:05:43I have a big day today.
00:05:44Oh, please.
00:05:45You just completed Bellwether's acquisition of Starfield Hotels.
00:05:49You can kick up your feet a little.
00:05:51Now sit.
00:05:53Please.
00:05:53Is that coming from the CEO or my mother?
00:05:55Whichever one you're most likely to listen to.
00:05:58Cheers, darling.
00:06:00Cheers.
00:06:01Mmm.
00:06:02Mmm.
00:06:04By the way, I gave my team 90 days to submit the new financial to Bellwether's model.
00:06:08Is that realistic?
00:06:10I'm the CFO.
00:06:11Of course it's realistic.
00:06:13No wonder I've been fielding calls from your entire team.
00:06:15They're excited, right?
00:06:16What they are, Luke, is exhausted.
00:06:19I've been hearing they worked weekends, even overnights to close this deal.
00:06:22Well, it's not uncommon for an acquisition of this size.
00:06:25And by the way, I didn't force anyone to do any of this.
00:06:27You didn't have to.
00:06:29Honey, you've been at the office morning, noon, and night.
00:06:31When you do that, people think they can't go home and enjoy their lives.
00:06:34What is happening?
00:06:41Replies to a very, very, very important email that I sent during their lunch break.
00:06:45Oh, Luke.
00:06:48Come on.
00:06:51Do not make me count to ten.
00:06:53Don't count to ten.
00:06:53I will do it.
00:06:55One, two, three, four.
00:06:57Is that a tour of Banderas?
00:06:58Don't you really like that?
00:06:59Are you...
00:06:59Just one second.
00:07:04Oh, no, you didn't.
00:07:05Desperate times call for desperate measures, Mom.
00:07:06I couldn't agree more.
00:07:11Leanne?
00:07:12Do it.
00:07:18What did you do?
00:07:20I deactivated your account.
00:07:22I'm doing it.
00:07:23It's time for you to go on vacation.
00:07:26I don't want to go on vacation, Mother.
00:07:28Maybe not, but your team needs a vacation from you.
00:07:32So, for the next two weeks, your access to the office will be suspended.
00:07:35I'm sorry.
00:07:37Suspended?
00:07:37Yes.
00:07:38I don't want to be suspended.
00:07:39I want to do this.
00:07:40Just, please.
00:07:41Oh, honey, I love you.
00:07:43But if you even so much as attempt to log in, you're fired.
00:07:48I don't know about you, but I'm starving.
00:07:50I don't know about you, but I'm starving.
00:07:50I don't know about you.
00:08:00So close.
00:08:04Ah!
00:08:10Oops.
00:08:11Thank you again.
00:08:38Line up a tavern.
00:08:39Jared, it's Luke.
00:08:40Is it a good time?
00:08:42Luke, of course it's a good time.
00:08:43What's going on, man?
00:08:44Let's see what you're up to.
00:08:45Hey, hon.
00:08:46It's Luke.
00:08:47Luke?
00:08:48Yeah.
00:08:48Put him on video.
00:08:49Put him on video.
00:08:51No, no, no.
00:08:51It's, um...
00:08:52Hi!
00:08:53Hey!
00:08:55Oh.
00:08:56Oh, are you okay?
00:08:57Um, no.
00:08:58I'm great.
00:09:00No, you don't look yourself, man.
00:09:01You look a little, um...
00:09:02Like, um, unkempt?
00:09:04Yeah.
00:09:05I'm not unkempt.
00:09:06I'm taking a few weeks off.
00:09:08A little vacation.
00:09:08Sorry, time off?
00:09:09You don't take vacation.
00:09:10Mm-mm.
00:09:11I do now.
00:09:12Blink twice if you're in danger.
00:09:14Look, Candace.
00:09:15Right now, I'm looking at a photo of Bus 3.
00:09:18From what I think was the very opening of the tavern.
00:09:23I think we're about due for a trip.
00:09:25Well, we're telling you that photo was taken over two years ago.
00:09:27How'd it get you down here?
00:09:28That was two years ago?
00:09:29I mean, it has been three.
00:09:30But who's counting?
00:09:31But seriously, you should totally come down here and see all the changes we've made around here.
00:09:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:36Yes.
00:09:36I can't wait.
00:09:37Well, obviously, you're going to stay with us because we've got a whole bedroom for you upstairs.
00:09:41It's a Luke's room.
00:09:42Well, actually, Candace, Luke is a creature of habit.
00:09:45So.
00:09:45I do apologize, Candace, but a trip to Landover would not be complete without a stay at the
00:09:50Apple Hill.
00:09:58May in Washington, please.
00:10:00Does this say Archibald?
00:10:04Anderson.
00:10:06Nope.
00:10:07Underwood.
00:10:08Says Underwood.
00:10:09That's your final answer.
00:10:10Mm-hmm.
00:10:11Okay.
00:10:11You know, we wouldn't go through this each day if we computerized.
00:10:14Yeah.
00:10:15But then we'd lose our charm.
00:10:17I thought one of the reasons you hired me was to bring Apple Hill's reservation system
00:10:21into the, you know, 20th century.
00:10:24I think you mean 21st century.
00:10:26No, I definitely mean 20th.
00:10:29Huh.
00:10:33Do you mind keeping an eye on things for a while?
00:10:35Yeah, of course.
00:10:36I will just finish the guest notes for tonight.
00:10:39You know, if I can read them.
00:10:41Okay.
00:10:42Oh, remember, there's a leak in room 11, so it's out of commission.
00:10:47Got it.
00:10:48Bye.
00:10:49Bye.
00:10:49Bye.
00:10:49Candace still helps out at the tavern every now and then, but these days she's just killing
00:11:05it in real estate.
00:11:06It's great, man.
00:11:08You guys are hitting your goals.
00:11:09Yeah.
00:11:10Well, we owe a lot of that to you.
00:11:13Oh, anything to me.
00:11:13I invested because you guys are crazy talented.
00:11:16Yeah, well, both can be true.
00:11:18What happened to Rusty's?
00:11:19What?
00:11:20Yeah.
00:11:20Shut down after you retired a couple years back.
00:11:24Are you serious?
00:11:25Mm-hmm.
00:11:26Oh, man.
00:11:27I used to dominate space barge in here.
00:11:30Excuse me?
00:11:32I do believe I beat you my fair share of times.
00:11:35You can't be serious.
00:11:36Oh, I am dead serious.
00:11:37You know, they have the original game over at Tony's Pizza.
00:11:40Are you matched?
00:11:42Please say now.
00:11:42Right now.
00:11:43Right here.
00:11:44Wait.
00:11:45Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:11:45Yeah, hi.
00:11:51All right.
00:11:52I'll, uh, I'll see you soon.
00:11:55That's convenient.
00:11:56Yeah, it's super convenient.
00:11:58It's going to have to be a rain check.
00:12:00Get out of here.
00:12:12Yeah.
00:12:14Welcome home.
00:12:15Excuse me.
00:12:28Do you know what happened to the high school that used to be here?
00:12:30They built a new one outside of town.
00:12:32Brand new building.
00:12:33So they just tore all this down?
00:12:36And built this beautiful park.
00:12:42Hey, Elise.
00:12:56Hey, Tony.
00:12:57Hey, Tony.
00:12:57My usual.
00:12:58Ooh, not bad of a day.
00:13:01Ah, I don't even want to talk about it.
00:13:03Well, you might have to wait a bit.
00:13:06He's been playing for 30 minutes now.
00:13:09But I do have the same game online if you're interested.
00:13:11It's not the same.
00:13:15I'll just wait.
00:13:16Sounds good.
00:13:20Maybe I'll just see how long he's going to be.
00:13:23Sounds good.
00:13:24Excuse me.
00:13:27Can I help you?
00:13:31Yes.
00:13:31Actually, there are other people waiting to play the game.
00:13:34Me.
00:13:34Uh, well, we could play two-player.
00:13:40Oh, no.
00:13:41I play alone.
00:13:42It's sort of my form of meditation.
00:13:45Well, I can already tell you seem like the type of person that needs to zen out.
00:13:51It says the guy wearing sunglasses indoors.
00:13:55What?
00:13:56No, that cannot be your score.
00:13:58It can, and it is.
00:14:02Not today.
00:14:03Excuse me.
00:14:03You've obviously been playing long enough.
00:14:05What are you doing?
00:14:06Who does that?
00:14:07I was so late, and I came over, and I asked you if I could play.
00:14:10Come on, come on.
00:14:10You know what?
00:14:11Excuse me.
00:14:12There.
00:14:13There.
00:14:15New top score.
00:14:17Wow.
00:14:24But that's my game.
00:14:29Well done.
00:14:30Thanks, sir.
00:14:32Did you want a slice to go?
00:14:33Bye, Tony.
00:14:35Bye.
00:14:36Take it that was Elise?
00:14:37That was Elise.
00:14:40And just like that, he took my top score.
00:14:43Oh, luckily it is just a game.
00:14:47But I, I get it.
00:14:49And this guy, he seems like trouble.
00:14:52Yeah.
00:14:53And he could have been a Trent clone.
00:14:55He's rude and arrogant, way out of line.
00:14:58Okay, do you want to discuss the arriving guests tonight, or?
00:15:01Good idea.
00:15:02Great.
00:15:03So I'm thinking, what if we looked at this information on a tablet, instead of sorting through these
00:15:0920 guest files?
00:15:10Oh, but Nora, the tactile feel of paper, though.
00:15:18What's this?
00:15:20Uh, solo guest.
00:15:22Lucas Bellwether.
00:15:23Bellwether.
00:15:24Bellwether, as in Bellwether Holdings.
00:15:27The hotel group?
00:15:29Nora, look at your iPad.
00:15:31Look him up.
00:15:32Okay.
00:15:32Bellwether.
00:15:33Right here, right here.
00:15:34Uh, as Bellwether Holdings CFO, Lucas Bellwether has increased profits and helped to facilitate
00:15:40funding to add several regional chains to their portfolio.
00:15:44Mm-hmm.
00:15:45First, Huston Hotels comes sniffing around, and now Bellwether Holdings.
00:15:49No.
00:15:50No.
00:15:51He's not going to stay here.
00:15:53Okay.
00:15:54Hi.
00:15:55Checking in.
00:15:56Hi.
00:15:57You must be Mr. Bellwether.
00:15:59Welcome to Apple Hill.
00:16:01I see you again, former champion of space barge.
00:16:06Did she tell you that?
00:16:07Uh, just for the record, I did have a higher score, but there was a blackout at Tony's Pizza,
00:16:12and it deleted all the information from the game, so...
00:16:15It's convenient that that actually doesn't exist.
00:16:20It says here that you want down-alternative pillows and laundry service.
00:16:25If that's fine, or just a simple ironing would be great.
00:16:28I'm sorry, we can't provide any of that.
00:16:31You know what?
00:16:32That must be disappointing for you, so I can go ahead and call other hotels in the area and see if maybe...
00:16:36No, no, no, that'll be fine.
00:16:38I need to stay here.
00:16:40And we would love to have you.
00:16:43Also, you know, the Wi-Fi is down, and...
00:16:49Well, good thing I'm supposed to be on vacation.
00:16:50Now, how does a check-in work?
00:16:52Is it a key card, app, a card?
00:16:54No, no, we use actual keys.
00:16:58Adorable.
00:16:59Like Bates Motel.
00:17:02Let's give Mr. Bellwether room 11.
00:17:04No, we can't.
00:17:05Nora, let's give him room 11.
00:17:07Sounds great.
00:17:09And you know what?
00:17:09Grab him a welcome basket while you're there.
00:17:12Oh, too kind.
00:17:13Everyone gets one.
00:17:18Okay, you are.
00:17:19It's just up those stairs.
00:17:20You'll see it.
00:17:22Mm-hmm.
00:17:26I am so confused.
00:17:27Didn't you say that we could not rent out room 11?
00:17:30I did say that.
00:17:31If he insists on staying here, I'm gonna give him the worst week of his life.
00:17:35How is there no reception?
00:17:40None?
00:17:40None?
00:17:44Oh.
00:17:45I don't know.
00:18:15You will return in two weeks, but in the meantime, I'll be cancelling all meetings, and your deadlines will be extended until Luke's return.
00:18:36No, no, no, wait, wait, you can't do that.
00:18:38Sorry, did someone have a question?
00:18:43Hello?
00:18:45Hello?
00:18:46Hello?
00:18:47Hello?
00:19:03Oh my...
00:19:04Can I help you?
00:19:16My phone doesn't seem to be working.
00:19:18Oh, that one's on the fritz.
00:19:20Along with leaking pipes, busted door handles, and loose outlets, I would like to switch rooms, please.
00:19:29I'm sorry, that's the only one available.
00:19:31I'd like to speak with the owner, then.
00:19:35You have been speaking with the owner.
00:19:37Oh, so you are the one intentionally running this place in the ground.
00:19:41Mr. Bellweather, I told you about our limitations when you checked in.
00:19:49We're not for everybody, so if you would like to stay somewhere else, I will gladly refund your money.
00:19:55It is so incredibly sad because this place has so much potential if you would just give a little more effort.
00:20:02We just became a Landover historic destination, and last month I received a hospitality award from the Innkeepers Guild.
00:20:11You just made that up.
00:20:14No, the...
00:20:15They're...
00:20:16Do you want to see my plaques?
00:20:17Did you buy them on the internet?
00:20:20You don't buy plaques on the...
00:20:23No, I didn't buy them on the internet!
00:20:27Donna Bellweather's office.
00:20:29Leanne, this is Luke. Is my mom around?
00:20:31Luke, I'm under very strict order.
00:20:33This isn't urgent. Can you please get her?
00:20:36I can pass the word along, but she is busy at the moment, Luke.
00:20:39Doing what?
00:20:40If you must know, she's surprising the finance team with an overnight stay at Canyon Post Spa.
00:20:45So instead of them meeting deadlines, she's taking them to get massages?
00:20:49Yeah, and you know what? They're pretty excited about it.
00:20:53Oh, are they Leanne? Massages instead of work?
00:20:59I think we're all set for tomorrow.
00:21:08You know, I think this is the Inn's 67th apple harvest.
00:21:14That is a lot of apples.
00:21:15And a lot of memories.
00:21:17Mm-hmm.
00:21:18It's one of those days it makes me feel like my grandma and grandpa are still here.
00:21:20Well, they definitely are.
00:21:22And that is thanks to you, Elise.
00:21:26The question is, what now?
00:21:28Well, we still have a decent amount of occupancy for the rest of October.
00:21:33Decent is not going to cut it if we're going to get to that 15% profit the bank needs to see.
00:21:38And, um, what happens if we don't hit that number?
00:21:47We have light. Ta-da.
00:21:49For now.
00:21:50Chuck?
00:21:51Hi. I didn't know that you were here.
00:21:55Oh, just don't tell my boss. It's after hours.
00:21:58Oh, I can't thank you enough.
00:22:00Well, it's only temporary. For how long? I don't know.
00:22:04Um, can we get you dinner? I mean, for your hard work, for your service?
00:22:08No, I have a sandwich in the truck.
00:22:10Cool.
00:22:11Hey, what do I owe you?
00:22:12This one's on me.
00:22:13But, uh, I mean, at least you need an upgraded panel.
00:22:17The sooner the better.
00:22:19Okay.
00:22:20Yeah. Thank you, Chuck.
00:22:22Bye, Chuck!
00:22:25Did he say bye back?
00:22:27No.
00:22:28Oh.
00:22:30So, uh, Chuck, huh?
00:22:32What?
00:22:33What?
00:22:34What? No.
00:22:35Chuck?
00:22:36I don't know.
00:22:37No, no.
00:22:38I seem pretty excited given something to eat.
00:22:39Well, because I like to feed people.
00:22:46So, how was I walked down memory lane?
00:22:49So much has changed.
00:22:50Everything feels super small, too.
00:22:52Well, you have been living in New York.
00:22:54No, no, no. I mean, um, for instance, our high school disappeared.
00:22:57When did that happen?
00:22:58Yeah, that one, uh, that was tough.
00:23:00I've seen a lot of places come and go, but that one was hard.
00:23:02I wonder if our old hockey photo's in the new school.
00:23:04I doubt it.
00:23:06Yeah.
00:23:07But I do have a photo for you.
00:23:09Sit tight.
00:23:10Okay.
00:23:14That is a photo.
00:23:16Go on.
00:23:18Right?
00:23:19Are you serious?
00:23:20Yeah.
00:23:21Look at us. Look at those fangs.
00:23:22Intimidating vampires.
00:23:23Those guys are nuts.
00:23:24Okay, don't let seven-year-old me hear you say it.
00:23:26That's great.
00:23:27Yeah.
00:23:28You were a terror.
00:23:29I was.
00:23:30What happened to you?
00:23:31I don't know.
00:23:33Oh, Halloween at Apple Hill.
00:23:35Mm-hmm.
00:23:36So cute.
00:23:37Apple Hill, even that place has changed.
00:23:39I mean, I get there, my door knob falls off, the phones don't work, the sink's leaking,
00:23:43and the woman who's running it, Elise, she shouldn't even be in hospitality.
00:23:47Like, what is happening?
00:23:48Well, Elise is pretty much the only reason that Apple Hill is still going.
00:23:53Yeah, she took over after her grandparents passed.
00:23:55Mm-hmm.
00:23:57Is this the same Elise from high school?
00:24:00Elise Jacobs?
00:24:01Yeah.
00:24:02Same one.
00:24:03It's even worse.
00:24:04I remember her grandparents.
00:24:05They would be furious if they knew the condition it was in.
00:24:08I'm sorry.
00:24:09I don't mean to.
00:24:10I get it.
00:24:11I get it.
00:24:12Apple Hill was a special place for you and your mom.
00:24:14And just think about it.
00:24:15If it weren't for Apple Hill inspiring your mom to stay here, then we wouldn't be friends.
00:24:19It's true.
00:24:20And I'm awesome.
00:24:21Hey, we're awesome.
00:24:22We're awesome.
00:24:23You know, I'm actually really surprised at how much has changed.
00:24:26Everybody raves about how thoughtful Elise is, and she's always been so great with
00:24:31us.
00:24:32Why not me?
00:24:39How are we doing for ticket sales for tomorrow?
00:24:42Uh, you mean for the orchard harvest?
00:24:46No.
00:24:47For the other event we're selling tickets to tomorrow.
00:24:50Yes, for the harvest.
00:24:51Okay, one moment.
00:24:53What?
00:24:55Nora, what's the number?
00:24:5718.
00:24:58It's never been that low.
00:25:0018.
00:25:01Shoot.
00:25:02Now it's at 15 because we just got a cancellation.
00:25:0715?
00:25:10What?
00:25:11I am sure that we will have a lot of walk-ins and people driving by.
00:25:17I, um, I asked earlier as an employee, but now I need to ask as a friend.
00:25:28How long can we go without a loan?
00:25:31As a friend.
00:25:34I'm not sure we'll make it past October.
00:25:37Especially if the event tomorrow is a flop.
00:25:41It's late.
00:25:42We should call it a night.
00:25:45Okay.
00:25:46Goodnight.
00:25:47Goodnight.
00:25:48Goodnight.
00:25:49Goodnight.
00:25:50Goodnight.
00:25:51Excuse me.
00:25:52Excuse me.
00:25:53Excuse me.
00:25:54Excuse me.
00:25:55Excuse me.
00:25:57I didn't need housekeeping.
00:25:58Oh, that's so funny.
00:25:59What are you doing?
00:26:00I am fixing what you are unwilling to.
00:26:01It is almost made.
00:26:02It is almost made.
00:26:03You know how about my family?
00:26:04I do not need housekeeping.
00:26:05I do not need housekeeping.
00:26:06Excuse me.
00:26:21Excuse me.
00:26:22I didn't need housekeeping.
00:26:23Oh, that's so funny.
00:26:25What are you doing?
00:26:27I am fixing what you are unwilling to.
00:26:29It is almost midnight.
00:26:31People are sleeping.
00:26:32Well, I am done for now.
00:26:34Well, you're done for good.
00:26:35Because I didn't give you permission to do anything.
00:26:37I would be more than happy to undo all of my handiwork once I leave.
00:26:42Which cannot come soon enough.
00:26:45I figured you might say that.
00:26:47But I paid for this room bare and square.
00:26:49So until I check out, you're stuck with me.
00:26:53I could use some clean towels, though.
00:27:05Oh, come on.
00:27:25Perfect.
00:27:25We'll see you at noon.
00:27:27Okay, bye.
00:27:27I got three more.
00:27:29Okay, I knew we had last-minute joiners.
00:27:32Phew.
00:27:33I can't tell you how many of them.
00:27:34Too bad I didn't have any fresh towels, but I did manage to dry off with three bedsheets.
00:27:37If I can't give you that right there.
00:27:39Actually, that's kind of genius.
00:27:42Ooh, scones.
00:27:42I'd love one, please.
00:27:43Yeah, great.
00:27:44Yeah, and also put me down for apple picking unless you manage to mess that up, too.
00:27:48Oh, no.
00:27:49Mm-mm.
00:27:49I should mention that apple picking takes actual work.
00:27:53Well, I'm good with work, as you know, per last night.
00:27:57What he's referring to is the fact that in the middle of the night, he decided to change
00:28:01a door handle without my permission.
00:28:03Fix the door handle, also the phone jack, the electrical outlet, and a lanky sink, but
00:28:07I digress.
00:28:09What's the Wi-Fi?
00:28:10Yeah, Apple Pies.
00:28:11We don't need to give that.
00:28:12Apple Pies.
00:28:13Lower case?
00:28:15Mm-hmm.
00:28:17Great.
00:28:17Thank you, Nora.
00:28:23Um, he repaired his room?
00:28:27Yeah, apparently.
00:28:29Too bad he can't fix all of them.
00:28:31That would increase occupancy.
00:28:35Actually, maybe he can.
00:28:38Mm-hmm.
00:28:52Mm-hmm.
00:28:57Mm-hmm.
00:29:01I have changed my username and password, and if you try to log into that portal again,
00:29:17don't think I won't press charges.
00:29:19Oh, you wouldn't.
00:29:21No, I wouldn't.
00:29:22But I want to.
00:29:23Oh, I was so hoping that you would be staying someplace without internet.
00:29:28I practically am.
00:29:29I'm at Apple Hill.
00:29:30Oh, we had good times there, kiddo.
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:35Yeah, we did.
00:29:36But Landover has changed so much.
00:29:37I mean, there's so many places are gone and everywhere else I just don't even recognize.
00:29:42Mm.
00:29:43A word of advice from your mom?
00:29:46Go ahead.
00:29:48Landover will have changed even more on your next visit and the visit after that, which
00:29:52is why you owe it to yourself to really enjoy this moment, because it won't be coming back.
00:30:00Oh, I have a meeting.
00:30:03Bye for now, honey.
00:30:05Have fun.
00:30:07Bye.
00:30:08Enjoy.
00:30:09Bye.
00:30:10Oh, he was here.
00:30:11The Dayla Cruz family, right?
00:30:12Hi.
00:30:13Oh, he was here.
00:30:14Hi.
00:30:15The Dayla Cruz family, right?
00:30:16You want to pick some apples?
00:30:17You want to pick some too, right?
00:30:18Here, the Dayla Cruz family, right?
00:30:21You want to pick some apples?
00:30:22Welcome, welcome.
00:30:24You want to pick some too, right?
00:30:25Have so much fun.
00:30:27Okay, bye.
00:30:29No, no, it's still early.
00:30:31Maya, am I here on the right day?
00:30:34I don't, um, I don't think I see a Bellwether pre-registered here.
00:30:41Yes, there it is.
00:30:42Thank you both.
00:30:43That's, there it is.
00:30:45You know what would be great?
00:30:46It's like a, like a selfie wall.
00:30:49Ooh.
00:30:50Interesting.
00:30:51But this event is so that people can relax and connect, not gain followers.
00:30:56Definitely use some followers, you know.
00:31:00I mean, people are going to be posting on their socials anyway, so, you know, what better way to ensure Apple Hill's brand is present?
00:31:06If these guests wanted to be manipulated by a greedy corporation, they would be at one of your properties.
00:31:11There it is, right there.
00:31:13The reason I'm getting this special, or I should say, not so special treatment, is you have a problem with my family's company.
00:31:22I'm sorry to burst your precious bubble, but I don't think about you or Bellwether Holdings at all.
00:31:28Do you want to pick some apples?
00:31:29Oh, actually, I brought something special just in case you came.
00:31:34Seeing as you like to spruce things up.
00:31:37Broken basket and apple picker.
00:31:38That's how we're treating paying customers, but, um, have a good day.
00:31:49Goodbye.
00:31:49Hey, buddy.
00:32:04Sorry I got caught up with the inventory.
00:32:05Glad you made it.
00:32:07Uh, can you help, or are you still scared of heights?
00:32:10I can manage.
00:32:11Go for it.
00:32:11Bye.
00:32:14Hot apple donuts!
00:32:16Wow.
00:32:17I don't think they can hear you over in the other county.
00:32:19Should I do it again?
00:32:20No.
00:32:22Hi!
00:32:22Do you want some?
00:32:24There we go.
00:32:25We have some more friends over here.
00:32:26Oh, yes.
00:32:27Here you go.
00:32:28Hi, guys.
00:32:29Just like old times.
00:32:30Oh.
00:32:31Is he a friend with Jared?
00:32:33I like it.
00:32:33I'm a fan.
00:32:34How about a little of this?
00:32:37It sure looks like they're close.
00:32:39Oh.
00:32:40You know what?
00:32:41I think I went a little far.
00:32:43I mean, I completely get where you're coming from, especially if he's scouting to acquire
00:32:50Apple Hill.
00:32:51Don't listen.
00:32:52But I don't know, Elise.
00:32:53He doesn't seem like that bad a guy.
00:32:55I mean, I mean, he even might be a little fun.
00:33:01See?
00:33:02But not that fun.
00:33:04Big smiles.
00:33:04Big, big, big.
00:33:05Smilier.
00:33:06Is that a word?
00:33:07I'm just kidding.
00:33:07All right.
00:33:07You guys look great.
00:33:08Three, two, one.
00:33:10Big smiles.
00:33:12All right.
00:33:12If you post it, please tag in at Apple Hill.
00:33:15Yeah.
00:33:15All right.
00:33:16Thanks, guys.
00:33:17Isn't that crazy?
00:33:18Come on.
00:33:18What do you think?
00:33:19It's amazing.
00:33:20Right?
00:33:21I mean, who needs a vacation to Maui or Rome when you have land over?
00:33:25So about that vacation, it's not exactly voluntary.
00:33:29What happened?
00:33:30She suspended me.
00:33:31No.
00:33:32Yes.
00:33:33I...
00:33:33She calls it a mandatory vacation.
00:33:35Right.
00:33:36Still got to feel pretty harsh, though.
00:33:38She says my management style is not working, and sadly, I'm starting to realize she might
00:33:43be right.
00:33:44Your mom usually is, though.
00:33:45I don't know.
00:33:47All right.
00:33:48So what?
00:33:48You're suspended.
00:33:50Now what?
00:33:51I guess take her advice.
00:33:53Disconnect from work.
00:33:55How's that going for you?
00:33:57Well, I don't have my phone on me.
00:33:59I'm not missing it too much.
00:34:02Too much?
00:34:02Too much.
00:34:03Well, come on.
00:34:04I'll put you to work.
00:34:05Your turn on the ladder.
00:34:06I'm on vacation.
00:34:08I'm glad you did.
00:34:16Later, bud.
00:34:16Good thing.
00:34:21Jared.
00:34:22Elise!
00:34:23Hey!
00:34:24Oh, I'm sorry.
00:34:25I couldn't say hi earlier.
00:34:26No, no, no, no.
00:34:27You're busy with all this.
00:34:28It looks fantastic.
00:34:29Oh, thank you.
00:34:29It's too bad Candace couldn't make it.
00:34:31Yeah, she had that open house.
00:34:33Oh.
00:34:34Okay, that's good.
00:34:36Hey, I wanted to ask you something.
00:34:37Yeah, shoot.
00:34:38How do you know Lucas Bellwether?
00:34:43Luke?
00:34:44Yeah.
00:34:45We've been friends since we were kids.
00:34:48Wait.
00:34:49That's...
00:34:49That's Luke from school?
00:34:52Yeah.
00:34:52I was a couple years behind you guys.
00:34:56I don't remember him, but the adult version of him is so different.
00:35:03I mean, he's a little taller, but still has that heart of gold.
00:35:06Okay, if it wasn't for Luke, there would be no Landover Tavern.
00:35:12Speaking of which, I gotta take this, but this has been great.
00:35:15It looks fantastic.
00:35:18Landover Tavern.
00:35:27Hi.
00:35:29Hi.
00:35:31I...
00:35:32Is that for me?
00:35:34Yeah, no, no.
00:35:35Mm-hmm.
00:35:35Broken window frame, change air filter, fixed image floor tiles, change smoke detectors.
00:35:41Wow, this is a pretty heavy to-do list.
00:35:45You know what you forgot?
00:35:46The broken apple picker.
00:35:47So we'll just go ahead and add that one, too.
00:35:50I was going to give you that list, but then I reconsidered.
00:35:53I still can't figure out the hang-up you have with my family's company.
00:35:57It's like you think we're...
00:35:58You think we want to buy Apple Hill?
00:36:05Don't you?
00:36:05I...
00:36:05I originally thought that, but then I found out who you were.
00:36:10Who am I?
00:36:11You're Luke, Jared's best friend from high school.
00:36:15I didn't know that until I talked to him.
00:36:16Yeah, Luke.
00:36:18Luke Bellwether was him then, Luke Bellwether now.
00:36:21What does that have to do with anything?
00:36:23Growing up, I just knew you as Luke.
00:36:24We weren't in the same grade, we didn't hang out, and you always seem like this simple, carefree guy.
00:36:33I'm still that guy.
00:36:34I didn't know that.
00:36:38I just saw a corporation, and I...
00:36:40I feel like I missed the chance to get to know you that way.
00:36:44Quick story.
00:36:46After my parents divorced, my mom took me here, to Apple Hill, at the time of my life, apparently.
00:36:52Now, I was four years old, but I do remember that that was the weekend she decided to move to Landover.
00:36:57For good.
00:37:00To give me a childhood and an upbringing I could never have in New York.
00:37:04So you came here for that, for those memories.
00:37:09I'm sorry.
00:37:13Just stay, and I will make all of this up to you.
00:37:18I love it here.
00:37:19I really love it here, but seeing this end that I love and the state that it's in, I am not going to let you.
00:37:27Or anyone else tarnish the memory of how great it once was.
00:37:31So you can keep this.
00:37:32I...
00:37:34I...
00:37:35I...
00:37:36I...
00:37:37I...
00:37:38I...
00:37:57I...
00:37:58I...
00:37:59Oh, it smells amazing in here.
00:38:02Yeah, unfortunately the oven is on its last legs.
00:38:04You know that some of these pies went through three rounds of baking before they were ready.
00:38:09Oh.
00:38:09Oh.
00:38:10And they have the bruises to show for it.
00:38:12Well, could that pie maybe be good enough for a certain electrician?
00:38:20So, it is five days until my follow-up meeting with the bank, and things keep getting worse.
00:38:25I've literally tried everything my grandma and grandpa would do in this situation.
00:38:29Nothing's clicking.
00:38:30But you know what?
00:38:32Something will.
00:38:33Because it always does.
00:38:36Maybe it's my fault, you know?
00:38:38Look how I jumped to conclusions with Luke.
00:38:41Maybe a little bit.
00:38:43But I heard that he's staying with his friends who own Landover Tavern.
00:38:48Candace and Jared?
00:38:49Mm-hmm.
00:38:49Fun fact about Lucas Bellwether.
00:38:52Loves apple pies.
00:38:54He does.
00:38:55Oh, I have no idea.
00:38:56But there's only one way to find out.
00:39:06Hey, look who's up.
00:39:07Hey.
00:39:09How'd you sleep?
00:39:10Good.
00:39:11That bed is comfortable.
00:39:12Better than your room over at Apple Hill?
00:39:14Yeah.
00:39:15Added bonus, I don't have to deal with Elise Jacobs.
00:39:17Right.
00:39:18Tea?
00:39:19No.
00:39:20Something stronger, please.
00:39:21Oh, okay.
00:39:24I'm gonna have to leave the coffee to you, though.
00:39:26You know how to use one of these things, right?
00:39:29I gotta hit up the tavern.
00:39:31But I'll see you later.
00:39:33Deal.
00:39:33Deal.
00:39:33No.
00:39:46No.
00:39:46No.
00:39:49No.
00:39:50I don't know.
00:40:20Can I help you?
00:40:30Consider this a freshly baked mea culpa.
00:40:39Mara.
00:40:41Hi.
00:40:43Um, thank you for all your help with the electrical at the inn.
00:40:47This is from Elise.
00:40:50Oh.
00:40:52Okay.
00:41:07I should never have had preconceived notions about you.
00:41:10I didn't know what the inn meant to you and your mom, and I'm...
00:41:14I am truly sorry.
00:41:19Do all of your apologies smell this good?
00:41:25As long as I'm not the one baking them.
00:41:30There.
00:41:31Come here.
00:41:32Uh, can I get you a coffee?
00:41:39That'd be great.
00:41:42Lovely change of pace.
00:41:44A coffee truce, if you will.
00:41:47Truce?
00:41:47I was not the one at war.
00:41:52Fair.
00:41:54But I did want to ask, had I been interested in the inn, you could have just said no.
00:41:59I was...
00:41:59I was a little afraid I'd say yes.
00:42:05Why's that?
00:42:07Because I...
00:42:07I dove wholeheartedly into buying Apple Hill.
00:42:11You know, I was determined to preserve that part of my grandparents' lives, but it is taking everything I have to keep it afloat.
00:42:17And what's it giving to you?
00:42:27It's keeping me up at night.
00:42:30I'm worried that I'm not going to get the funding I need, and that I'm...
00:42:34I'm going to have to let it go.
00:42:35How long do you think you can go without the loan?
00:42:40Maybe through the first week of November.
00:42:43Maybe.
00:42:51Well, good news is, I think I can help.
00:42:56If you let me.
00:42:59How are your books?
00:43:01Any upcoming events?
00:43:02Nope.
00:43:03The Orchard Harvest was the last event of the season.
00:43:06What about Halloween party?
00:43:08Oh, that became too tough for my grandparents to do, so they stopped doing it 15 years ago.
00:43:13Exactly.
00:43:14Imagine the response if you brought it back.
00:43:16This Halloween?
00:43:17This Halloween.
00:43:19The one that's in a matter of days.
00:43:20Matter of days.
00:43:21Plenty of time.
00:43:21Perfect.
00:43:22I really appreciate your enthusiasm.
00:43:24I do, but I'm not sure that one night is enough to save my inn.
00:43:30What if we sold tickets?
00:43:33That would work.
00:43:36And if you agreed to that, it would also let me consider accepting your apology.
00:43:43I also have a condition.
00:43:51Okay.
00:43:52I will consider doing the Halloween party if you give me a second chance and you finish your stay at Apple Hill.
00:44:00Elise Jacobs, you have a deal.
00:44:03Um...
00:44:18Discard.
00:44:20Um...
00:44:20Keep.
00:44:21Oh, I liked him.
00:44:23It's okay.
00:44:23all right you know what we need to rethink this entire party
00:44:31do you realize how much Landover's changed I do but I've been here so for me it's been
00:44:45more gradual there was this photo I really loved Jared and I it was right after the hockey state
00:44:50championship it hung in a high school for years it was like a permanent part of the community and
00:44:57now it's gone neither of you have a copy in the arcade okay I cried when they closed that down
00:45:08you see that's my point that's why we need to have this party something needs to be brought back to
00:45:14life I know and I want to but what am I supposed to do go door-to-door to every craft store and ask
00:45:22them if I can use their projects as decorations for our party they seem pretty into their work
00:45:32maybe maybe we should just post a flyer why wait we're here now excuse me guys this won't take long
00:45:39uh I'm Luke this is Elise she owns the inn at Apple Hill and we're throwing a Halloween party and we
00:45:45would love to know if you wanted to help in the decorations department there's a little added
00:45:50bonus if you do contribute there'll be free admission to the party so what do you guys say show of hands
00:45:55every single hand went up I figure it goes to show you how much they want you to have this
00:46:09Halloween party it was also about displaying their artwork see right there that's what you need to
00:46:16improve your outlook a little Bramers ice cream pumpkin scoop cures everything I don't need to improve my
00:46:22outlook and they don't have pumpkin ice cream yes they do all right you'll see they better have it
00:46:30they'd better have it candy corn really everyone loves it no but everyone does not love it get rid
00:46:39of pumpkin for candy corn I have never seen someone get so worked up over a dessert that tastes like a gourd
00:46:45you can't say it like that no it's pumpkin and cinnamon and allspice it's perfect for fall even if
00:46:55it's snowy your excitement about the little things in this town you just light up are you like that
00:47:01about the city uh pizza yes other than that no I went to New York for the sole purpose of getting my
00:47:11the NBA in hopes of one day running bellwether one more try some adventurous you know what no see even
00:47:26the trash can didn't want it would you get you saw a whole array of ice creams you could have chosen
00:47:33it looks delicious it's so good give me a bite may I have a bite better thank you god you fell for that
00:47:42were you all done with breakfast yeah officially it is but I can get you something no no no I'm good
00:48:01uh just want to see if you were free I had something planned adventure awaits oh okay give me just a minute
00:48:11great where are you taking me that m'lady is a surprise oh well I can't wait to find out well I'll
00:48:20give you a hint I'm taking you to pumpkin patch to buy some pumpkins
00:48:22these are absolutely amazing flawless oh boy probably out of our price range I don't know
00:48:34but I do know these are some odd-looking pumpkins I wonder who farms them
00:48:39you want odd-looking you should see my friend Luke bellwether what's that buddy how long has it been
00:48:49uh-uh about that it's uh 10 years it's been 10 years busy an excuse I'm a pediatrician who also
00:48:57farms pumpkins fair enough oh Ron Elise Elise Ron nice to meet you these are exquisite Elise owns in an
00:49:05apple hill Hannah and Charlie's place yeah yeah I'm the granddaughter I took it over how'd you get
00:49:11tangled up with this guy oh yeah right uh we're thinking about bringing back the Halloween party at the
00:49:16end and what's the Halloween party without some pumpkins so a little bit of a budget but I will
00:49:23absolutely hook you up I'm guessing you also need hay bales whatever you suggest yeah that'd be great
00:49:29thank you I'll be right back so you haven't talked to him in 10 years you show up and ask him a favor and
00:49:37he agrees yeah let's go find some pumpkins
00:49:43you're all set miss Randolph yeah we look forward to your stay too okay bye
00:49:51hey Nora
00:49:58hi um how can I help you I was uh just in the area I thought I'd stop by and thank Elise for that
00:50:07apple pie well she is out at the moment but I will I will pass that word along
00:50:13what you doing
00:50:17uh I am just working on a little surprise for Elise need any help
00:50:26I'm uh I'm just kind of in the zone
00:50:35cool gotcha oh hi oh hi hi Chuck hey that is that's a lot of decorations
00:50:45not that I don't love them they're great but can we afford them these are all donated by local
00:50:54artists thanks to Luke hey Luke Chuck the electrician oh nice to meet you I think this
00:50:59is it's gonna look good yeah yeah and we have us pumpkins hay bales oh and Ron's doing it a bunch
00:51:05of lights so that's gonna be a problem no problem no charge it's just stuff he had extra from storage
00:51:11the Ian's electrical panel is the original knob and tube system and it can barely keep the lights
00:51:17on as it is okay so how do we like the outside well I guess we're just gonna have to rely on the
00:51:22original lighting we use every day I don't think you can have the Halloween party you want to have
00:51:28without lighting up the outside I mean that's that's kind of essential what's essential is that the
00:51:33panel holds up so I can stay in business any extra lighting okay uh how much the new panel cost
00:51:41it's twelve thousand one hundred and three dollars and 42 cents that is specific hey we have options
00:51:49no don't even say it I mean if it needs the repairs it needs the repairs I'm not taking a handout from
00:51:55you Luke it's not a handout I promise it thank you end of discussion I'm gonna
00:52:03if we called it a I don't know a temporary loan
00:52:29that I'm not sure I can pay back listen if we don't do this party right you're not gonna hit
00:52:38your numbers please let me out I truly appreciate everything you've done but when I agreed to go in
00:52:47on this it was to work together not to be your latest project that's not what I'm doing
00:52:54is it no maybe a little
00:53:01if I rely on you for this how am I gonna get through the next problem or the one after that
00:53:08by letting people do for you exactly what I know you would do for them in a heartbeat
00:53:14you've seen firsthand how quickly people come together if you just let them in
00:53:20I can't take money from you I think we need to quit while we're ahead
00:53:26that might be problematic I've already made an announcement when where this morning social media
00:53:43and the Landover Tribune you need to cancel it we'll see I can't cuz we've already sold 110 tickets
00:54:01no wait a minute no no no no no no this deal has been as good as done for weeks and you're telling me
00:54:07that Starfield's making additional demands now in the 11th hour no no I don't want legal to draft any
00:54:15modifications I at least not yet how much time do we have three days well that's not enough get me an
00:54:24extension and this is why Chuck is officially off my list it's odd cuz I don't remember him mentioning a
00:54:36girlfriend yeah yeah there she was but this is looking festive um do we have any updates from Luke
00:54:43Luke on ticket sales yeah we're at over 200 that's amazing and there's also no backing out now we can't
00:54:52always refund tickets and let down our entire community we have an oven that can barely make breakfast
00:54:57for 20 to 30 yes let alone feed over 200 people well who said you had to do food we're already at a
00:55:04disadvantage with the lighting we make too many shortcuts people will notice almost forgot to tell
00:55:10you um a woman from the community center named Julie called she says it's there what does that mean
00:55:22looks so good doesn't it
00:55:28so I know it might not look like much right now but the plan is to convert this into a private events
00:55:35room I mean once I can get this all cleared up and once that's done you think about a second location
00:55:40that might be a Luke Bellwether thing to do but me I'm having a hard enough time keeping up as it is
00:55:45how are the uh plans for Halloween coming along um the ends electricity won't support all the
00:55:50decorations that I think we should be doing so but we'll we'll manage yeah that used to happen to us
00:55:55every Christmas anytime I would want to add a new string of lights I'd be worried about the power
00:55:59going out anytime I made a cup of coffee so would you upgrade no I uh got a generator we're up to three
00:56:06now generators hi you've reached Luke Bellwether CFO of Bellwether Holdings I'm unavailable at the
00:56:32moment but if you please leave your name number since when doesn't he answer the phone what are we
00:56:40doing at the library I thought we picked up all the Halloween decorations we did indeed

00:56:58god that was great look at this next one oh
00:57:04what are you serious yeah I remembered hearing about an installation that had photos from Landover
00:57:15High School and I wasn't sure yours was in here but I made a call and here it is
00:57:21I can't believe this you you tracked this down for me I got determined to find something that hadn't
00:57:28changed plus I was dying to see a reaction I hope it didn't disappoint
00:57:41I feel like I've watched you come to life since you've been here what can I say it's contagious
00:57:53maybe a little it's a little knowing I'm gonna be back in the city but
00:58:02there'll be a piece of me here thank you well you have left much more of an impression than any photo could
00:58:14fresh pastries oh good morning enjoy Nora there you are just wondering where you were
00:58:39sorry um I'm actually not sure how to tell you this but here is everything okay yep

00:58:54sales rep and they agreed to give us a three-month trial we already have reservations because I went
00:59:01live last week without telling you but you can't be upset at me because I hand wrote all reservations
00:59:06in your guestbook so that you wouldn't notice you are nothing if not determined and I've been
00:59:12entering in all past guest notes during my downtime there is one problem

01:02:23could do the food for the party yeah that's so much I couldn't let you we want to support you yeah
01:02:30and it's great advertisement for the restaurant well then how could I say no I thank you we would

01:03:02oven for Halloween and I ended up securing a food vendor I'm sorry was that you asking someone else
01:03:09for help they volunteered to be honest hmm I was surprised to see how excited they were about the
01:03:15party why would you be surprised everyone here wants you and Apple Hill to succeed including someone
01:03:22who's just randomly hanging out by my car oh no no not random I'm on a mission to take you to an early
01:03:30dinner why do I have the feeling you're trying to keep me from the inn because I am but don't
01:03:35worry you're gonna approve as long as I get to choose a place so you're really not gonna tell me
01:03:43that's not how surprises work is it did you buy me a pony okay keep them closed it's ridiculous I'm not 12

01:05:07everything yeah your childhood home being for sale the week you're visiting right you think that's a sign

01:16:42I was so inspired, I came straight back from Landover yesterday to prep.
01:17:10Well, when are we meeting with Starfield?
01:17:15Well, um, the deal already went through.
01:17:19What? When?
01:17:22Last night. I told them the deal we agreed upon was the deal we were sticking with.
01:17:27And they signed.
01:17:32That's amazing. Congratulations.
01:17:35Wow.
01:17:36And thanks for reminding me to trust my instincts.
01:17:40This isn't easy for me to say, but, um, I don't know if it's for forever.
01:17:50Mm-hmm.
01:17:50But for right now, I got the feeling you belong in Landover.
01:17:56You've put so much work into me.
01:18:02I just don't ever want to disappoint you.
01:18:05Oh.
01:18:05No.
01:18:07You could never disappoint me, son.
01:18:13Lucas, I am so proud of you.
01:18:19Actually, I think the only thing that could ever disappoint me is if somehow I prevented you from going after what you want in life.
01:18:27I love you, kid.
01:18:29I love you, kid.
01:18:31I love you, too.
01:18:33I love you, too.
01:18:33I love you, too.
01:18:34I love you, too.
01:19:01Elise, I'm sorry I'm late.
01:19:03That's fine. I won't take long.
01:19:04You gave me the courtesy of a meeting,
01:19:06so I wanted to show up in person and let you know
01:19:08that I was aiming for 15%.
01:19:10Thank you for coming.
01:19:10Even with everyone's help, I only landed at 13.7%.
01:19:13Elise, you did something so much better
01:19:16than just hit a number.
01:19:18Here, let me show you.
01:19:21Look.
01:19:22That is my son.
01:19:23That's his wife and their two daughters.
01:19:27Look at him.
01:19:28They called me after 10
01:19:30just to tell me the amazing time that they had last night.
01:19:34You have created more excitement in one night
01:19:39for this town than any business in years.
01:19:43I don't understand. What are you saying?
01:19:47I'm saying that you proved me wrong.
01:19:50You showed that you have what it takes
01:19:52to keep a place like Apple Hill alive long-term.
01:19:56I'm telling you that we're giving you the loan.
01:20:00Congratulations.
01:20:03Oh, thank you.
01:20:04Oh.
01:20:06I'm your fault.
01:20:11Hey, come on in.
01:20:12Grab a spot anywhere you'd like.
01:20:14I'll be right with you.
01:20:16Man, I've been thinking.
01:20:17Hey, Luke.
01:20:18Thought you went home.
01:20:19And you know what happens when I start thinking.
01:20:21Oh, no.
01:20:22I'll just get right to the point.
01:20:24Okay.
01:20:25Let's go into business together.
01:20:27I mean, I would love to,
01:20:30but hotels aren't exactly in my wheelhouse.
01:20:33Not the hotels.
01:20:34I want to expand the tavern.
01:20:37Are you being serious?
01:20:38Absolutely.
01:20:40You know, the other day when you said that
01:20:41it might be difficult for you to do it by yourself,
01:20:45I was thinking,
01:20:46how much fun would that be to do together?
01:20:49It'd be a lot of fun.
01:20:50Yeah?
01:20:51Yeah.
01:20:51You don't need time to think about it?
01:20:53No.
01:20:54Hey, Candace.
01:20:55Amazing news.
01:20:56All it takes is just one moment to change everything.
01:21:00To see that your dreams are still within reach.
01:21:04Well, this is becoming a habit.
01:21:07Habits take around 28 days to form.
01:21:10I think I've known you for around,
01:21:12let's see,
01:21:14where the two have known you for 12 days?
01:21:16What are you doing here?
01:21:19Well, it looks like I'm on another
01:21:21permanent vacation to Landover.
01:21:24What about father?
01:21:27I think I'm still going to consult with them
01:21:28from time to time.
01:21:30The main focus is going to be to work with Jared
01:21:31on expanding the tavern.
01:21:35But I have to say,
01:21:36it's not the only reason I'm here.
01:21:40You were the reason.
01:21:43Are you going for this challenge?
01:21:44Do you mean being with you?
01:21:50I have never been more up for anything in my life.
01:21:54All it takes
01:21:55is to let down your guard,
01:21:58see life in a different light,
01:22:00and open your heart
01:22:02to the one person
01:22:03you've been searching for all along.
01:22:09Hi.
01:22:11Oh, is this for you?
01:22:12It's for you.
01:22:13It's for me.
01:22:13Do you like surprises?
01:22:20I want to show you something.
01:22:21Okay.
01:22:25To the right.
01:22:31Spacebarge.
01:22:32How did you...
01:22:36I made Tony an offer
01:22:37he could not refuse.
01:22:40Luke.
01:22:41Mm-hmm.
01:22:41You love spacebarge, right?
01:22:43I do.
01:22:44Yeah.
01:22:45You got quarters?
01:22:46Two players?
01:22:48Let's go.
01:22:48Yeah.
01:22:52Lucky we're on the same team.
01:22:53Ready?
01:23:00Ready?
01:23:00Yeah.
01:23:04Well, that should have been the high score.
01:23:08What is...
01:23:08C-heart-N?
01:23:11What is that?
01:23:12Yeah, uh, Chuck and I,
01:23:14we weren't really sure how to tell you,
01:23:16but
01:23:16we're kind of the new champs.
01:23:20Not without a fight, you're not.
01:23:23Got more quarters?
01:23:24Yes, I do.
01:23:26And a kiss for good luck.
01:23:29Bring me home.
01:23:31Game on.
01:23:33Game on.
01:24:03You
