00:00The storm's going to hit pretty soon, so let's get out ahead of it.
00:14James, you and Nathan, you take my truck, go up and check on the cattle in the high pasture.
00:19You got it.
00:20Unless we enforce those bind doors, last thing we need are any runaways during the storm.
00:24Sherry, can you help me get the chickens into the horse barn?
00:26Good idea, the coop could flood.
00:27Okay, I'm going to take Zephyr, we're going to go out, we'll check the fences and the gates on the perimeter.
00:33It's all hands on deck to get this done, and then, well, I suggest you all go home to your families and wait it out.
00:40Yeah, well, the report says it's going to pass pretty quickly.
00:42Be careful.
00:43Take heed, it's batting down the hatches.
00:45That's right.
00:47God willing, it all works out fine.
00:50Let's go.
00:51Zephyr, come on.
00:57Long night, huh?
01:05Yeah.
01:06You sending you home?
01:08Yeah.
01:09You want to grab a bite from the cafe?
01:10I got a bit of time before my shift.
01:13Thanks, but I have to help at Red Oak with a storm coming in.
01:15Probably stay there until after it rolls past, but call me if you need me to come back.
01:19I appreciate that.
01:20Yeah, let's just hope people use their heads today and stay inside.
01:23They won't.
01:25Last storm, we had a guy who tried to rescue his barn cat from the roof.
01:30That cat could have come down on its own accord.
01:32There was no reason for him to get up on that ladder with the high winds, but he did.
01:37And what happened?
01:38Well, as soon as he got to the top of the ladder, cat came barreling down the roof line,
01:42knocked him off balance, and he landed in a pile of manure.
01:46Sprained ankle and a very badly bruised ego.
01:48And the worst part is, you know the cat couldn't care less.
01:51Right, you're a dog person.
01:53Aren't you?
01:54Actually, I was pretty attached to marmalade as a kid.
01:57Marmalade?
01:58Mm-hmm.
01:59Huge orange tomcat that used to mouse in the barn.
02:01That sounds like a working kid.
02:03He was.
02:03He used to bring us little gifts he'd catch, too.
02:07How generous.
02:09The most.
02:12Come on.
02:14Let's get you a quick coffee and a muffin from Daisy Mays.
02:17Sure.
02:18Let's go.
02:19I'm actually incredibly hungry.
02:34All right, guys.
02:35Get home safe, okay?
02:40Hey.
02:41Hey, just checking in.
02:42You busy at the cafe?
02:44That's a bit of an understatement.
02:46I guess thunderstorms are good for business.
02:47Lots of to-go orders.
02:49Well, it's good to hear, because it's not so great for the horses.
02:51I had to bring them all in from the paddocks.
02:53Oh, no.
02:54I hope they're okay.
02:55You know, I was actually thinking of closing down for a few hours.
02:58Just at least until the high winds pass.
02:59Do you have some place safe you can go just in case it gets worse?
03:02Oh, yeah.
03:02I'll just head upstairs to my apartment, as long as we still have electricity.
03:06And if we don't, I'll just head to the community center.
03:09You know, I should actually call my mom and make sure she's feeling okay, and that all
03:12her windows are closed.
03:14If you want, I could go check on her.
03:16That's a very sweet offer, but I can just head over if need be.
03:20It's not like when I used to live six hours away.
03:22Maybe I'll just throw on an alien invasion movie to weather out the storm.
03:27That's exactly what I would do.
03:29Well, you stay safe, okay?
03:31You too.
03:31I'll talk to you later.
03:33Bye.
03:33Bye.
03:33Bye.

06:42I was sure I'd get through there, but I can't stay out here.
07:12Jennifer! Jennifer, come on! We're going inside! Come on, girl!
07:29I can't sleep with the wind howling like this.
07:32Who's dad?
07:33I don't know. He's not back in yet. I'm gonna try his cell phone.
07:42That's helpful.
07:47It's getting nasty out there.
07:50You know where dad is, I need to ask him about the new cap count.
07:53He's not here, but he left his phone on the counter.
07:57Really? When was the last time he saw him?
07:59A little while ago, getting into the gator with the dog.
08:02Oh, alright. I'll be back. I'm gonna go look for him.
08:06James, you can't. The storm is right on top of us.
08:08Well, I gotta find him then before it gets much worse.
08:13Whoa. Okay.
08:15You're not going anywhere.
08:20Alright, I'll give it a few minutes.
08:22Dear Heavenly Father, please bless us and protect everyone who's in the path of the storm.
08:35Keep us safe from harm. In your name, amen.
08:38Amen. Amen.
08:39Put it in here.
08:44That'll point.
08:50That's getting close.
08:53It's not the thunder that'll hurt you.
08:59No phone.
09:00Well, don't worry, buddy.
09:05I've been off-grid most of my life.
09:07We're going old school today.
09:11It's been so long since I've been in here, I can't remember where anything is.
09:15Here.
09:17You lie down on this for a while.
09:22Now, I know there's a lamp in here somewhere.
09:25Here.
09:29Yes, sir.
09:34But I don't know, that's not the one.
09:41Well, as bad as it sounds out there, I've seen worse.
09:45I hit that sword.
09:47You know, one summer with my dad, there was a storm so bad
09:50that it threatened to tear the barn right apart.
09:56We were using our backs to hold the doors closed while the wind howled outside.
10:05There you go.
10:06You see?
10:07You're stranded with the right man.
10:09You and me, we're going to be just fine.
10:11Aunt Amy?
10:12Where can I find more candles?
10:13Uh, there should be some in that drawer there.
10:14Thanks.
10:16He must have gone to Martha's.
10:17If he was scouting the furthest perimeter, that would have been the closest option.
10:19Yeah, but he has the gator, doesn't he?
10:21Yeah, he does.
10:22Which is why it's weird that he hasn't come back sooner.
10:24Especially because you know how he is with storms.
10:26It's just a little rain.
10:27Hey, you two.
10:28Hey, Nami.
10:29It's going to be fine.
10:30He's going to take shelter and wait it out.
10:33Hey, Eric.
10:34How's the clinic?
10:35Oh, no.
10:36Power's out in town.
10:37Generator's kicking in?
10:39Oh, no.
10:40I don't know.
10:41The power's out in town.
10:42Generator's kicking?
10:44What?
10:45No, I'm not sure.
10:46You're not sure.
10:47I'm not sure.
10:48I'm not sure.
10:49You're not sure.
10:50I'm not sure.
10:51You're not sure.
10:52You're not sure.
10:53The power's out in town.
10:54That's the power to get out.
10:55Generators kick in?
10:57Okay, good.
10:58Yeah, we still have power here.
11:01Oh, spoke too soon.
11:03Let me call you back.
11:05Let's get these over to the table.
11:07It's good timing.
11:17Where is he?
11:18This is so on-brand for Dad.
11:20If you're someone who doesn't want people to make a fuss about him,
11:21he sure knows how to create drama.
11:23I guess that's why the rodeo was such a good fit for him back in the day.
11:28Okay, can you please tell us about the rodeo?
11:31Because Mom and Dad told us nothing when we were kids.
11:33Nothing.
11:35Well, he competed in high school,
11:38was best in the foothills.
11:40Every college in Montana and Wyoming offered him a scholarship.
11:44He was a promising rodeo star.
11:47Wait, what?
11:49That doesn't make sense. Dad didn't go to college.
11:50No, he turned all the scholarships down.
11:53Grandpa Robert didn't let him go?
11:55Oh, no.
11:55He would have let him go.
11:57Our dad was Willis' number one fan.
11:59He never missed a competition.
12:01So what happened?
12:03Well, this was before your time,
12:04but the 1970s was a huge boom time for the cattle-wrenching business.
12:09And the Red Oak was going gangbusters.
12:11Our dad was planning to hire a foreman if Willis went off to college.
12:14But when it came down to time to make that final decision,
12:18Willis couldn't do it.
12:20He didn't want the ranch to be in the hands of someone who wasn't family.
12:23And I was way too young, so it was up to him.
12:28So Dad gave up the scholarships,
12:31the rodeo, the education,
12:33all of it just for the ranch,
12:35to preserve the family legacy.
12:36But I don't get it.
12:37He could have done all of that
12:38and still come back when he was older.
12:40But he didn't want a stranger to get all the knowledge and experience
12:44that our dad would pass on during those years.
12:47And our dad wasn't getting any younger,
12:49and I think Willis knew how valuable that time was.
12:52And I left, and I didn't.
12:54And I still don't.
12:55And that's what Dad thinks, isn't it?
12:58Look, James, this is about Willis.
13:00This is not about you.
13:01No, I know, but it feels like it's about me.
13:05Especially for Dad.
13:06The whole thing with Dad is about working hard,
13:08setting aside yourself,
13:09and doing it for the next generation.
13:11From great-granddad to granddad to dad to then who.
13:15Okay.
13:16I know we all pray about this.
13:18Me, Willis, both of you.
13:21We all want to find a solution for the future.
13:24But stressing about it and pressuring each other
13:28and blaming ourselves helps no one.
13:33Tell that to Dad.
13:34She has, and so have I.
13:36We're all living our lives the best way we know how.
13:41Come here.
13:42Come sit down.
13:46Listen.
13:48Staying here at the ranch was right for Willis.
13:52I left and came back, and that was right for me.
13:55Only time will tell if running this ranch
13:57is right for you,
13:59or you,
14:00or both of you,
14:02or someone else.
14:03time.
14:16That is a lot of water coming down.
14:19I think it's kind of romantic.
14:21That's not the word I would use
14:22to describe a weather emergency.
14:25You hear that?
14:26That is rain falling.
14:28You are going to learn all about that
14:29when you finally come out and meet the world.
14:31Oh, I felt that.
14:36I felt it that time, too.
14:37I think we got a kicker in there.
14:39Oh, you've already got him on the football team.
14:40Oh, as soon as he's old enough to hold a ball.
14:42And if it's a girl?
14:44Oh, then we might have to move to basketball.
14:47You got it all worked out, huh?
14:49Might have a few details left,
14:50aren't out here and there.
14:51You know,
14:54I used to roll my eyes
14:55when people would say
14:56it doesn't matter,
14:56but I truly don't mind
14:58any path my child's going to take
15:00as long as they're healthy and happy.
15:08Oh, no.
15:09Oh, well, someone's apartment had to flood.
15:11I guess today that's us.
15:12I'll go get some towels.
15:15Do they have any rubber boots?
15:17I don't know.
15:18I'll go check.
15:19Hey, no matter what,
15:22we're going to be okay.
15:25Oh, my God.
15:43Did I wake you, Your Majesty?
15:45I'm sorry.
15:49A lot of good rides on this one.
15:57I remember one time
15:58we were riding through Oklahoma
15:59and got caught in a bad squall.
16:04We ended up under a highway overpass
16:06to wait it out.
16:08I'll never forget it,
16:09because there was a twister
16:12that just came out of nowhere.
16:14It was weaving its way
16:15across the plains,
16:17picking up speed.
16:18When we couldn't move,
16:21we had nowhere to go.
16:24It was coming right for us.
16:28We thought we were done for,
16:31just braced ourselves for the worst.
16:35And then about a quarter mile out,
16:36it just...
16:37turned in the other direction.
16:43It's like it just stopped
16:45at a traffic light.
16:48It started going the other way.
16:52We thank God after that,
16:55it must have been him
16:57keeping us out of harm's way like that.
16:59Well, I did not like the sound of that.
17:09and then the above can charge us.
17:26I know.
17:28Abet tether.
17:28Abet tether.
17:29hir, a' firmer.
17:30Abetif.
17:30Oh, God.
17:43Okay.
17:47Now what do you want to do?
18:00Oh, thank goodness. Seems to be letting up.
18:03I am gonna go check on the animals and wait for your dad to get home.
18:06All right, if you're good doing that, I'm gonna run into town, make sure everyone's okay.
18:09You mean check on Maggie?
18:11Yes, Maggie happens to be in town, too.
18:15That's Eric.
18:16Hey, Eric, you're on speaker. Power back on?
18:19Not yet. You?
18:21Not yet, but the storm's definitely passing by.
18:23Listen, things are getting pretty crazy here with Watkins since the rain stopped.
18:28Do you have any chance you could spare a few hours?
18:31Yes, I can come, but I lent Nathan my truck.
18:34Ma'am, don't worry. I'll take you. We'll look for Dad on our way out.
18:37Okay, James is gonna take me.
18:38Oh, that's great.
18:39You okay with that?
18:40Oh, of course. I'm gonna go out to the barn and check on everyone.
18:43Okay. And bye. Everyone, you need the chickens.
18:45Well, yeah, they are family, too.
18:47On my way, Eric.
18:48Thank you. See you soon. Drive safe.
18:54Okay, so we'll just have everyone fill out these forms,
18:57and then they can bring them back to the front,
18:59and that way we know which station to direct them to,
19:01and they can just help themselves to whatever they need.
19:03Okay? Great.
19:04Oh, I'll be right back.
19:05Tina!
19:06I'm so glad you're safe.
19:08Where's Lewis?
19:09Oh, some people were moving a tree from the street.
19:11He was helping.
19:12Oh, that's so nice of him.
19:14Yeah, there's definitely gonna be a lot of cleanup after this one.
19:16Oh, yeah.
19:17How's everything at home?
19:19We're fine, except, well, there's two inches of water in our apartment.
19:22Oh, no.
19:23Yeah, there was water coming through the roof,
19:25and we just grabbed everything we could,
19:27but a lot of our stuff is ruined already.
19:29I am so sorry.
19:30We'll send a cleanup crew as soon as we can.
19:33Listen, I want to help.
19:35What can I do?
19:36You know what you could do to help?
19:38You can have a seat over there,
19:40and I can bring you some water, some snacks.
19:42No, no, no. I can't just sit.
19:43Well, I could be making a difference.
19:44Let me help, please.
19:45Well, if you insist, some of the stations could use a little organizing.
19:51Well, I can organize like there's no tomorrow.
19:54Of course you're an organization queen.
19:57Yeah, just right over there.
19:58Okay.
20:01Maggie.
20:03James.
20:05You all right?
20:06Yeah, I'm fine.
20:07That was just quite the storm, huh?
20:09You haven't seen anything like that in a long time.
20:11I know.
20:12How's everything at the ranch?
20:14Yeah, the ranch is fine.
20:16Few uprooted trees, some branches in the streets.
20:18Nothing we can't handle.
20:19Good.
20:20And how's the family?
20:21Janet got called back into the clinic.
20:23And Aunt Amy's checking on the animals right now.
20:26We haven't heard from my dad, though.
20:27He went to go check the perimeter when the storm started.
20:30Should we be concerned?
20:31Storm's no better than to mess with my dad.
20:33I'm sure he's going to be home when I get back.
20:35But how are you?
20:36How's the cafe?
20:37Oh, the cafe's fine.
20:38As soon as the lights went out, I just came right here to see what I could do.
20:41It's affected a lot of people.
20:43Like Tina and Louis.
20:45Their apartment flooded.
20:47And she's still here, helping out the best she can.
20:50Louis is out clearing the streets from trees.
20:52This couldn't have come at a worse time for them.
20:54I know.
20:55Can you be sure to give them the number to the ranch in case they need anything?
20:58Yeah, of course.
20:59Alright, put me to work.
21:00What can I do?
21:01No, we'll be fine.
21:02You go find your dad.
21:04I promise you, we'll be okay.
21:05Go.
21:06Alright.
21:07Be safe.
21:08You too.
21:09Okay.
21:10You guys doing alright over here?
21:11Daniel Newman.
21:12Daniel Newman.
21:13Yeah.
21:14Right this way, sir.
21:15Doc.
21:16Hey.
21:17Any chance you could take this woman first?
21:18Yeah, yeah.
21:20Sure.
21:21Are you sure about that?
21:22We're pretty busy, it might be a while.
21:23Newman. Daniel Newman.
21:26Yeah.
21:27Right this way, sir.
21:28Doc, hey.
21:29Yeah.
21:30Any chance you could take this woman first?
21:33Yeah, yeah.
21:34Sure. Are you sure about that? We're pretty busy. It might be a while.
21:37Yeah, I'm okay. I can wait.
21:39Okay.
21:40Excuse me, ma'am. Why don't you go first?
21:43Please.
21:45Right this way, ma'am.
21:53Well, everything seems right as rain in here.
22:03Without the actual rain, thank goodness.
22:06And the coop didn't flood, so the chickens can go back any time.
22:10How are the horses doing?
22:11Oh, they're fine. You know, some of them get spooked by the thunder and lightning, and some of them don't mind at all.
22:17Well, they definitely have their unique personalities, don't they?
22:19Okay. Thank you for staying and making sure there weren't any problems.
22:24You should probably get back to your family. It's been a long, long day.
22:27Agreed. You should get some rest, too, Amy.
22:29I will. Later.
22:33You know, this feels like a really special place.
22:39It is a special place.
22:43James misses his congregation back in the city, and I've missed having a church in the community.
22:47I hear that. I think my kids would enjoy this cowboy church.
22:52Well, you and your family are welcome here any time. I hope you know that.
22:56Thanks, Amy.
22:58I really appreciate that.
23:00Dear Lord,
23:11thank you for protecting this place.
23:15Thank you for protecting us.
23:17Thank you for protecting the animals.
23:22Amen.
23:23Amen.
23:23Amen.
23:23Amen.
23:30Okay, tell me what happened.
23:40Hi.
23:42Take a seat.
23:44Yes, ma'am.
23:47Just trying to fix the fence out back.
23:49Didn't want the wind to do any damage.
23:51Looks like some damage was done anyway.
23:52Yeah.
23:53Yeah, I got into a fight with the bar buyer.
23:55Can I take a look?
23:56Yeah, absolutely.
23:57Absolutely.
24:00You'll need stitches and a round of antibiotics.
24:09The bleeding stopped, which is good.
24:12Try to move your fingers for me.
24:15Okay, great.
24:16Good movement in your fingers.
24:18Wound isn't too deep, so that rules out any larger issues.
24:21Looks good.
24:23How long do you think this is going to take?
24:26Not long.
24:28Do you have a ranch to run?
24:30Yeah.
24:36You didn't happen to see my dad while you were out there, did you?
24:40No.
24:41Just saw you when you were on the road.
24:45Everything okay?
24:47Yeah, I'm sure he's fine.
24:48Get you fixed up.
24:49Thanks for doing this.
24:57Of course, it's my job.
24:59Lucky for you, I'm fantastic at stitches.
25:02Good.
25:03Best in my year.
25:05Passed my plastics internship with flying colors.
25:07So what I'm saying is, you should have minimal scarring.
25:14I believe you.
25:18You know what?
25:19I'll keep an eye out for your dad on my way home.
25:21Forget I mentioned it.
25:23I'm glad you did, actually.
25:25I'm in.
25:26Is there a good reason that neighbors shouldn't lug off to each other?
25:33Do you have any allergies I should be aware of?
25:36The neighbors.
25:36Nathan, hi.
25:53I got your text.
25:54Willis is missing?
25:55I haven't been able to find him.
25:57I'm starting to get really worried.
25:59I've got Janet's truck.
26:00I'll go look for him.
26:01Okay, thank you.
26:02I'm sure he's fine.
26:03Hey.
26:05I'd like to think that Dad's back, but the look on your face says otherwise.
26:08He hasn't turned up yet.
26:10He knows this land like the back of his hand.
26:12Surely he's safe, right?
26:14I asked Nathan to come help look.
26:16It's a great idea.
26:18Why don't we head out?
26:18Do you want to stay here just in case he does make it back?
26:20Sure.
26:21Yeah, I haven't checked the upper pasture or the backfield yet.
26:23Should we split up?
26:24No.
26:25No, let's ride together just in case.
26:26Start with the backfield first.
26:28I got Dad's truck.
26:28Thanks, you guys.
26:29Text me if you find anything.
26:32You thirsty?
26:44Yeah.
26:46Me too.
26:50Maybe I should just fire up that bike and drive us out of here.
26:58Well, I hate to bust up that.
27:02Door, but I'm not going to be stuck in here the rest of my life.
27:11Cover your eyes.
27:19You heard that too.
27:21Thank the Lord.
27:38There's our first clue.
27:40He must be in the shed.
27:41What up, Dad?
28:01Hey, Dad, that you?
28:02James!
28:04Thank the Lord.
28:05Get me out of here.
28:06Well, are you okay?
28:07Yeah, I'm fine.
28:08I've been losing my mind spending the whole day talking to a dog.
28:11No offense.
28:12There's a big cream in front of the door.
28:14Well, I got an axe.
28:15Maybe I can get it to you.
28:17We're going to use the truck.
28:18Try to pull away.
28:18All right, even better.
28:23All right, don't take your time enough.
28:25All right, go ahead.
28:31Nice and easy.
28:32Keep going.
28:35Keep going.
28:35Nate, you're here.
28:50Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes?
28:55Yeah, I'd have called, but...
28:57Yeah, you left your phone at the house on the one day you could have used it.
29:00Yeah.
29:01I'm glad you're okay, Mr. Hamilton.
29:02Well, I appreciate you helping me get out of there.
29:06I'm just going to let Jana and Aunt Amy know we got you.
29:08Oh, yeah, so you had the cavalry out looking for me, did you?
29:12Once the storm stopped you.
29:13She was a doozy.
29:15Well, I've seen worse.
29:16That gator stuck in the mud, we're getting that out now.
29:24Yeah.
29:25Oh, Tina, you don't have to keep helping.
29:27You should sit.
29:28No, it's fine.
29:29No, please, let's just find you someplace comfortable.
29:32Honestly, I'm better on my feet these days.
29:35Oh, yeah?
29:35Well, in that case, I feel like you're all set for motherhood.
29:39You think so?
29:40Yeah.
29:41I mean, you're going to be on your feet constantly running around after that little one.
29:44It's going to be a full-time job itself.
29:46Oh, honestly, I was kind of hoping to get back to work at some point.
29:50Oh, yeah?
29:50What did you do?
29:51I was a bookkeeper.
29:52It's where I met Louis, actually.
29:53My first full-time job at a sporting goods store.
29:56Oh, well, that's a valuable...
29:57Do you...
29:58Hold on, one sec.
30:00Okay.
30:01Hi.
30:01Hi.
30:02I, uh, went by your apartment after I got your text.
30:06I don't have good news.
30:08What do you mean?
30:10We got about four inches of water in there.
30:12The roof is just...
30:14Yeah.
30:14I got somebody coming to fix it, but...
30:17Y'all aren't going to be able to stay there tonight.
30:19Probably longer.
30:21I'm really sorry, Tina.
30:23I'll be in touch.
30:25Okay?
30:26Okay.
30:34Hey.
30:36Is everything okay?
30:37Uh, no.
30:40Uh, we can't stay at our apartment.
30:42It's basically a waiting pool.
30:45Oh.
30:46Um.
30:48Maybe you could get a B&B?
30:50We can't afford that.
30:52What about putting it on a credit card?
30:56It's not possible.
30:58But maybe we could help out with the cleanup, and that way it would go faster.
31:03But I still want to be for tonight.
31:07Look, you're not going to be in this alone, okay?
31:10Call Amy Hamilton.
31:11Who's Amy Hamilton?
31:12James' aunt.
31:13The number I gave you?
31:14She runs the family ranch.
31:16Just don't tell her brother that.
31:18Okay.
31:21Of course.
31:22You'll like her.
31:23She'll be able to help.
31:25Be okay.
31:28Alan said at least tonight, but maybe longer.
31:31We don't want to be a bother on anyone, and we would never ask.
31:35Just except the baby.
31:38Oh, you have a little one.
31:39What a blessing.
31:40Oh, not yet.
31:41We're expecting.
31:43Well, congratulations.
31:46Yeah, it's our first, so we're super excited.
31:49So you should be.
31:51Well, listen, our old foreman's cabin is empty, and you are welcome to stay there as long as you need.
31:54It's no problem at all.
31:56Really?
31:58Yeah, that would be amazing.
31:59We would be so grateful.
32:01But as long as you let us help out and pull our own weight.
32:04Well, good.
32:05Then it's settled.
32:06And you can call me Aunt Amy.
32:07Everyone does.
32:09Zephy, weffy!
32:26Poor Zephy, weffy!
32:29Oh, you must be so tired!
32:31Poor Zephy.
32:32He was passed out on a blanket the whole time.
32:34Oh, thank goodness you're okay.
32:36Oh, kid, get off me.
32:38It was just a little rain.
32:39It was more than just a little rain in some parts, Dad.
32:42How's everything here?
32:43Yeah, the animals are okay.
32:45No major damage to any of the buildings.
32:47Just a big old mess to clean up.
32:49What are you grinning at?
32:50I can be happy that my brother is home alive, can't I?
32:56Okay, I worry about you, too, sometime.
32:59Hey!
33:01Also, we have a young couple coming to stay with us.
33:04You met Tina at the community center.
33:06Tina and her husband, Louis.
33:08Yeah, they're good people.
33:09Yeah, well, their apartment got heavily flooded.
33:11Four inches of water everywhere.
33:13Lord only knows what they've lost already.
33:15Well, I suppose you'll put them in Rick's cabin, then.
33:17I will, yeah.
33:18Well, that's very neighborly.
33:20I'm sure it was a tough day out there for a lot of folks.
33:23Well, it's not just neighborly.
33:24They've insisted on pulling their weight while they're here.
33:27Tina's words.
33:28So did they grow up in Crossroad Springs?
33:30No, they're from Indiana.
33:31Indiana?
33:32Mm-hmm.
33:33Well, how'd they wind up here, then?
33:34Well, Louis got a job at the plant.
33:36Then a few months ago, they laid off half their staff, so...
33:39Yeah, that was a darn shame.
33:41Well, I can smell you from here, so why don't you go wash up?
33:51I can't believe that big of a storm and no damage.
33:54No, just that bit on the barn roof.
33:57We got off easy, thank goodness.
33:59What about the hay barn?
34:00Were you able to check it out?
34:01Is it okay?
34:03Your cowboy church is safe and sound.
34:06Cowboy church, huh?
34:07Getting the word out, I see.
34:08Well, it can't hurt to build a congregation.
34:15Oh, I love this place.
34:18You know, I know it's not all roses and sunshine, but it definitely has its moments.
34:23Yeah, I've forgotten how nice it is just to be on the land and the clean air.
34:26Hmm.
34:27That smell after a storm, there's nothing like it.
34:29Yeah.
34:30Yeah.
34:32It's the best.
34:33It's the best.
34:33That smell after a storm, there's nothing like it.
34:40That smell after a storm.
34:40Yeah.
34:41No.
34:41No.
34:42No.
34:42No.
34:43No.
34:43No.
34:43No.
34:44No.
34:44No.
34:44No.
34:45Yes.
34:46No.
34:46No.
34:46The ground.
34:46Whew, that was intense.
35:04It's amazing how many little things can go wrong in a thunderstorm.
35:08I can't believe we ran out of seats in the waiting room.
35:10I have to order some folding chairs or something.
35:12You know, I had a first today.
35:14Yeah?
35:15Yeah.
35:15First time in this waiting room, someone insisted a patient be seen before them.
35:21You're kidding.
35:22People are desperate to be seen and go home.
35:24Not everyone, apparently.
35:27That's a relief.
35:28My dad is safe.
35:29Well, that's great news.
35:31Was he at the neighbors like James thought?
35:33He was stuck in a shed.
35:34Apparently, he was trying to axe his way out when they found him.
35:37That sounds like Willis.
35:38I mean, probably should schedule another checkup, just saying.
35:41That man cannot stay out of trouble, can he?
35:43Well, like father, like daughter.
35:46Excuse me?
35:47No, I mean, you're not falling off horses or getting stuck in a shed.
35:50But you have to admit, you thrive on adrenaline.
35:53Like in this place?
35:54Play it down if you want.
35:55But you are the star doctor at this clinic.
35:58You're ridiculous.
36:00Well, tell that to the ten patients you just sent home feeling better.
36:02All right.
36:05Why are you trying to better me out?
36:06Come on.
36:07Can I got to be impressed?
36:09I guess so.
36:15Well, I am glad that day is done.
36:18Oh, you said it.
36:21You know, being stuck in that shed all day got me thinking.
36:26Hey, I'd like to start working on that old motorbike again.
36:31Oh, here we go.
36:32What?
36:33I never wanted to give up riding.
36:35Life just got too busy around here.
36:38And what makes you think it has slowed down now?
36:41Well, nothing, but maybe if James sticks around and, you know, helps out,
36:54well, let old Willis get back on his bike every once in a while.
36:59Well, it's not out of the realm of possibility.
37:03Did you hear that?
37:04I heard it.
37:07Oh, that must be Tina and Louis.
37:11Yeah, that's a good sign, though.
37:19It's too, you know, quick to help out, don't you think?
37:23You sound almost excited.
37:24I've never known you to take to anybody under the age of 35.
37:27Yeah, well, don't speak too soon.
37:29I'll like them well enough as long as they're not all mumbles and shoegazing.
37:34Fair enough.
37:41So, we made her through another storm.
37:48How about that?
37:50Yeah, we did.
37:53We were tested today.
37:56And we were rewarded, too.
37:57I know we don't always see eye to eye, but I was really thankful to find you safe and sound.
38:06I was.
38:09Yeah.
38:11I was thankful that I didn't have to chop that good door apart.
38:18We could have used the firewood.
38:19Blessed is the one that perseveres under trial.
38:34Because having been tested, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised.
38:43James, 112.
38:45Oh, my God.
