00:00Yeah, no, I understand the scope of what we're dealing with here.
00:20No, Elsa knows what she's doing.
00:22Okay.
00:23Yeah, I'll update you with anything.
00:30Bye.
00:42Hey.
00:44Hey.
00:46Seemed to have the weight of the world on your shoulders this morning.
00:51Yeah, this is just a restless night.
00:53Yeah, this ranch has caused a lot of sleepless nights for me, too.
00:58It's not just the ranch.
01:00It's been having a hard time keeping one foot here while my life is back in Chicago.
01:06Yeah.
01:07I know you're struggling with that.
01:09I can tell.
01:11Just take your time.
01:13You'll make the right decision.
01:17Yeah.
01:19Well, that's just it.
01:20I've made my decision.
01:24I need to go back to Chicago.
01:27I do.
01:28My church needs me.
01:29Of course.
01:31Your community must miss you.
01:34There.
01:40I just keep coming back to the idea that even though this ranch is our family's legacy,
01:45serving God, shepherding lives, that's my rightful duty.
01:49It's an almost impossible choice.
01:51Are you sure you can't take a little more time with it?
01:55If I don't go back to Chicago, they could transfer me to another district.
01:58They could even move me to another city.
01:59My congregation, they've become my family there.
02:03I can't just walk away from my church members.
02:05It's your true calling.
02:07It's your true calling.
02:10We are so grateful for all the wonderful things you've done here.
02:13Getting Nathan sorted out, pulling Lewis into the fold.
02:16We needed you, and you really showed up for us.
02:20I'm really happy I could be here.
02:23And I'm glad things are starting to look up on the quarry front.
02:26Ugh.
02:27Getting that settled will ease my mind.
02:29And here's hoping.
02:30Chart a positive course for many years to come.
02:33I'm going to miss this place.
02:40Now I just have to figure out how to break the news to Dad.
02:43Well, just remember, wherever you are, you're always a big part of this family.
02:52But I am going to put you to work while you're still here.
02:54I hope you know that.
02:54You're serious.
03:03Yeah, I'm serious.
03:04Our worries over water for the cattle are about to be in the past.
03:09We, uh, drilling a new well?
03:11No, we're not.
03:13Now you'll find out when the time's right.
03:15Well, we've been living in the shadow of that herd quota long enough,
03:19and now we'll be able to expand without losing sleep.
03:22What's he doing here?
03:34Willis?
03:36What, you lost?
03:37Actually, I just got back from the auction.
03:39We're up 200 head now.
03:41So how do you plan to water them?
03:43Not even Newman money can buy rain, Daniel.
03:47Oh, you got me there.
03:48Yeah.
03:50But it might just buy the earth under your boots, huh?
03:52Well, we'll see what's what come Brandon season.
03:59Yeah.
04:00We will.
04:00We will.
04:00Oh, they'll learn someday.
04:18Ranching takes more than deep pockets.
04:21It takes good people standing side by side in solid air.
04:25Well, amen to that.
04:28I'm going to head to the stables.
04:29Let me know if you need anything.
04:30Good.
04:30Thanks.
04:40Hey, you two.
04:41You want to join us for some lemonade?
04:42Great.
04:43How's the little guy?
04:45Finally napping.
04:46Quiet now, but he can make a real fuss when he wants to.
04:50Oh, he's just announcing his greatness early.
04:52Something to celebrate every day.
04:55About that, we wanted to ask you something important.
04:58Yeah, anything.
05:00Shoot.
05:00We'd like to have him baptized, and we were hoping that you could perform the ceremony.
05:08Absolutely, of course.
05:09I'd love to do that for you and your new family.
05:11Oh, how lovely.
05:12We can have the ceremony in the barn.
05:15It will be the first baptism at the cowboy church.
05:17It's not too much trouble?
05:18Are you kidding?
05:19No.
05:20We will decorate the place so beautifully, it will be perfect for your little guy.
05:24Thank you, Aunt Amy.
05:25And thank you for everything you've already done for us.
05:28Oh, it's nothing.
05:29This event will be a blessing.
05:31I can't wait to get started on the address.
05:33It's always nice when you can personalize it, and now that I know you guys better, it's
05:36going to be great.
05:36This sounds like so much more than we could have ever imagined.
05:39And is it okay if we invite a few people from around town who have helped us out?
05:43Of course.
05:44Yes.
05:44We will open up the ranch to the entire community.
05:49Come on in.
06:02What's this?
06:02It's a new Danish flavor.
06:04I'm doing an informal customer poll.
06:06And you've been volunteered.
06:08By me.
06:11Well, who am I to turn down free food?
06:13All right, here goes nothing.
06:15Okay.
06:19Mmm, what is that?
06:24Raspberry?
06:24Oh, close.
06:25Strawberry.
06:26It's really good.
06:29You have, um...
06:31Just...
06:33I'll get it.
06:34Wow.
06:42Yeah.
06:45It's really good.
06:45Do you have a couple minutes?
06:49I wanted to share some news with you.
06:51Of course.
06:52What's going on?
06:53Did you decide if you're going to stay?
06:55Actually, I got a call from Chicago, and I've made the decision to go back.
07:01Oh.
07:03That's great news, isn't it?
07:07Yeah, you think so?
07:07Um...
07:08Yeah, of course.
07:10I mean, you've been talking how much you've missed your church and working with Michael.
07:14And I'm sure you've prayed on it and made the right choice.
07:19Yeah, I...
07:20I mean, I have.
07:23I've just really enjoyed my time here.
07:26Hanging out with everybody.
07:28It's a different lifestyle that I've really gotten used to.
07:31I'm sure you could take all of those life experiences and bring them back to Chicago.
07:34Yeah, you're right.
07:38Then you leave.
07:42Next week.
07:44After I baptize Tina Lewis' baby.
07:47Oh, which...
07:48By the way, you should come.
07:49Oh, really?
07:50Yeah, I mean...
07:51They would want you to be there.
07:53I would love that.
07:54You've been their champion from the very beginning.
07:57Yeah.
08:00Maggie, I just want you to know that I've really had a wonderful time getting reacquainted with you.
08:05Me too.
08:09You know, how about one last roast beef sandwich extra pickles before you go?
08:15That'd be great.
08:17Oh, Maggie?
08:20Five stars, by the way.
08:21Okay.
08:22Okay.
08:22Okay.
08:22Okay.
08:22Okay.
08:22Okay.
08:22Okay.
08:22Okay.
08:23Okay.
08:23Okay.
08:23Okay.
08:23Okay.
08:23Okay.
08:24Okay.
08:24Okay.
08:24Okay.
08:25Okay.
08:26Okay.
08:27Okay.
08:28Okay.
08:29Okay.
08:30Okay.
08:31Okay.
08:32Okay.
08:33So, this little guy's officially thriving.
08:37He's right on track for Wade and Link.
08:40Reflexes are good.
08:42I'm not seeing anything concerning developmentally.
08:44And the crazy sleep schedule, it's normal, right?
08:48Completely normal.
08:49Not the best for mom and dad, though.
08:51I feel bad for Tina having to take all the night shifts because I've got duties on the
08:55ranch now.
08:55Oh, it's okay, Louis.
08:57Let's just worry about it when I get back to work.
08:59And then we can tag team sleep deprivation.
09:02Okay.
09:03You both have such an amazing attitude.
09:06And caffeine, I'm assuming.
09:07Yes.
09:08Well, I just think staying up with a baby, it's the perfect reason to lose sleep.
09:13Yeah.
09:14I agree.
09:15Much better than stress and worry.
09:17I've heard a white noise machine can really help mellow things out for nighttime feedings.
09:21Is there a way I can help?
09:23Just keep doing what you're doing and maybe try to give mom some time to herself?
09:28Yeah.
09:29That would be nice.
09:30Maybe I can even get a full shower in with conditioner and everything.
09:35Okay, you two.
09:37Call me if you need anything, day or night.
09:39I mean it.
09:40Okay, we will.
09:41Any other questions?
09:42Um...
09:43Uh...
09:44Well, actually, we were wondering if you would consider becoming our baby's godmother.
09:52Me?
09:53Really?
09:54We appreciate everything you've done for us and you've done so well for yourself.
10:01I feel like you've got it all figured out.
10:04Oh, that's an overstatement, but thank you.
10:06You would be such a good role model for our son.
10:09You're a doctor, you're a family person.
10:12We just know that if anything should happen to us, you would take such good care of our baby.
10:19Wow.
10:20Wow, meaning yes?
10:23Oh, absolutely.
10:24Yes, I would be honored.
10:26Oh, that's so great.
10:27Yeah, your brother is going to perform the baptism ceremony, so can we count on you that day?
10:32Of course.
10:33James!
10:34Just in time.
10:35Give me a hand.
10:36Yeah, of course, Dad.
10:37I've been wondering if it wouldn't be worth the investment to pour concrete pads under all of these water troughs.
10:54Stability, you know?
10:57The way the earth shifts every year just makes more than work.
11:02Right here.
11:03You want me to get a quote from the Robertsons?
11:08Yes, I do.
11:09Yes, I do.
11:10That's a great idea.
11:14Well, it sure feels right, you being here.
11:17Like I always imagined it.
11:20Yeah, it's been really nice working side by side with you too, Dad.
11:23Nice.
11:24Well, don't get too excited there.
11:26Hey, Dad, we, um, we got to talk.
11:34Oh.
11:37The board of directors called.
11:38They want me to go back to Chicago.
11:39It's time.
11:41I see.
11:44But hey, listen, I'm gonna, I'm gonna visit a lot more often.
11:47Now I know how I can contribute to the running of the...
11:49I appreciate what you've gotten here.
11:51Ranching isn't something you can do from a million miles away, you know?
11:56Just dropping in and out.
11:57Yeah, no, I know.
11:58But now that I'm caught up to speed with the day-to-day, I'm pretty sure...
12:00So what are you leaving?
12:04I'm gonna baptize Lewis's little boy on Sunday and then head out the day after.
12:08So that's it?
12:10You put up a few fence posts and then you're off again.
12:14You know, I had my chance to leave when I was younger.
12:18The open road was calling me.
12:19I wanted to hop on my bike and never look back.
12:22So why didn't you?
12:23Because I'm a Hamilton.
12:25And I keep my feet planted on Hamilton soil just like my father did.
12:29And his father.
12:30And his.
12:32So by all means, run away.
12:34I won't block the door.
12:35Hey, I'm not running away, Dad.
12:38I'm answering a calling.
12:40I got a life back in Chicago.
12:41And you have a family here.
12:49I'm sorry.
13:05That's my point.
13:07Janet?
13:09Oh, hey Maggie.
13:10I just came to pick out some centerpieces for the cafe.
13:13Those are beautiful, aren't they?
13:16Eric used to buy me flowers all the time, but, um...
13:20Hey, why can't I buy myself flowers, right?
13:22Yeah, exactly.
13:24I do miss him, though.
13:26The clinic, too. It's been kind of crazy without him.
13:29Well, then it won't be a lot easier for you when James leaves next week.
13:32When he goes back to Chicago.
13:35He's leaving next week?
13:36I'm sorry. I thought you would have known.
13:38I assumed he'd tell family first.
13:41Guess not.
13:42I hope I didn't overstep. I didn't mean to just spring that on you.
13:46No, I mean, I shouldn't be surprised.
13:49He's got his whole life there.
13:50Yeah, he does.
13:52I know he's struggling to try and stitch those two worlds together.
13:55That's James.
13:57Caring deeply in all directions.
13:59He really has such a great perspective on life.
14:01I guess that's what makes him such a great pastor.
14:04What do you think?
14:06It's perfect.
14:07Yeah?
14:08Yes!
14:10Okay.
14:15But what did he say exactly?
14:17Well, for starters, he accused me of running away.
14:20Thanks for telling me, by the way.
14:21I had to find out from Maggie at the flower shop.
14:23I'm sorry.
14:25I was going to tell you tonight.
14:26I just haven't found the right time.
14:28And I feel like I'm letting everybody down.
14:31James, you're not.
14:33You absolutely have to do what you have to do.
14:35That's Mason.
14:41Hi, Mason.
14:42You're on speakerphone.
14:43You've got us all here, except Willis.
14:44He's out on the range.
14:45Hey, Mason.
14:46Hello, Hamiltons.
14:48I'm just getting a load of feed in at the silos, but I wanted to follow up.
14:51I've got some more info on the preserved wetlands on Ms. Winstone's property.
14:55Does that help our case?
14:56Maybe.
14:57It looks like if we want to develop it or graze on it, we have to file an application to modify
15:02the easement.
15:03Basically prove it'll be used for agricultural benefit and not harmful to the water table or
15:07habitat.
15:07And is that something that you recommend?
15:10I'd say for that perfect location, it's worth the trouble.
15:13So basically, you'd need an environmental impact assessment and a paper trail to show
15:18how it supports sustainable ranching.
15:20I've seen applications go through faster when folks partner with land trusts or conservation
15:24groups, so I'll look into that.
15:26I love that idea, Mason.
15:28I've got the preliminary paperwork filled out for the assessment, so I just need your signatures
15:31on it.
15:32Okay.
15:32Willis and I will come by the office tomorrow.
15:37I can see your dad shutting James out again.
15:47He barely spoke to him at breakfast.
15:49That's not fair.
15:50Ranch is in a much better position.
15:53I mean, he must have known he'd leave eventually.
15:55I think he's just hoping James forgets all about Chicago.
15:58Ha!
15:59With what he's paying for that apartment every month?
16:01Not likely.
16:03I just hope Willis doesn't miss the baptism.
16:06I don't think he's ever seen your brother at the pulpit.
16:09Not since he was high school valedictorian.
16:14Remember his speech?
16:16How could I forget?
16:18That is when we first knew James had a gift.
16:21His natural ability to captivate an audience with his words.
16:25Saw him out riding last week.
16:27Pretty gifted cowboy, too.
16:28Oh, do not remind your father of that.
16:31I wouldn't dare.
16:36You know, I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be a godmother.
16:39And then I realized that I have the most wonderful role model there is.
16:46Well, I don't know about that.
16:49You stepped in and took care of us when Mom got sick.
16:52You took care of her.
16:53The ranch, we could have lost everything without you.
16:58It was a hard time.
16:59Yeah, for all of us.
17:02It really was.
17:03Your mother was the heart of this ranch.
17:09But we can take comfort in God's presence in our daily lives, no matter what.
17:14Even if we don't know his plans.
17:17I trust that he's with us.
17:19I still miss her every day.
17:22Me, too.
17:23I think I'd like the chance to be a mother one day.
17:39Well, pray on that.
17:42I will.
17:44And in the meantime, I can practice by buying cute baby clothes for my new glad son.
17:49Perfect.
17:55It's perfect.
18:05Hey, Dad.
18:07Hey, yourself.
18:10You think we can talk?
18:13Come up with some solutions about how I can support the family here, but also be present for my church in Chicago.
18:18Not really.
18:19I hope you understand this isn't just my calling.
18:22This is also my job.
18:25I got people that rely on me.
18:27And sure, I'd be happy working that land every single day, but it's not that simple.
18:32No, I guess not.
18:34But it's still hard for me to accept.
18:36I look out over these fields, and I see our grandparents sweating out a future for us.
18:49And now it feels like we're just trimming branches off the family tree.
18:55I think we need to start talking about succession.
19:00Succession?
19:01You know, who's going to tend the ranch for the generations to come?
19:06Well, I hope all of us are sticking around for a lot longer.
19:10It feels a little premature.
19:12Families mess this up all the time.
19:14If there's no one in place to take over, and something happens, the vultures come swooping in.
19:23Okay, well, what about Aunt Amy?
19:25She can't run this place on her own.
19:27Either way, I want to be involved in the decision.
19:30Involved?
19:31Son.
19:31You're forfeiting that right by leaving.
19:38Wow.
19:48You know, just once, just once, I wish you'd respect my choices.
19:53And I want you to take over the family ranch, so I guess we're both walking away disappointed.
20:01Here you are.
20:13Thought you'd be up for dinner by now.
20:16Yeah, I didn't want to eat with that.
20:18Uh-oh.
20:20What happened?
20:21Let's just say he didn't mince his words about me leaving.
20:25He thinks if he lays on enough guilt, you'll stay.
20:28Yeah.
20:30Come on, look past his gruff exterior.
20:32He really loves you.
20:35I just never meant to hurt him.
20:37Well, of course not.
20:38Is that what he said?
20:39No, it's Dad.
20:41He'd rather wrestle a bull to the ground than admit that he was hurt.
20:45And he brought up succession again.
20:47Well, that's new.
20:49I'm being serious, Janet.
20:50It's making me question myself.
20:54James, you can't second-guess yourself because Dad's having a bad day.
20:57You can't live your life like that.
21:01Yeah.
21:03Yeah, no, you're right.
21:05Okay.
21:06I-I-I just...
21:09You just what?
21:13I think it's really starting to hit me how much I'm going to miss spending time with you guys.
21:22Come on.
21:33Hey, Mason.
21:34Hey.
21:35Sorry for the impromptu meeting, but I have some news that I thought would be best delivered in person.
21:40Let me guess.
21:41There's a wrinkle in the plan?
21:42Have we missed our window?
21:43No, no.
21:44We submitted our application.
21:45It's just that someone beat us to it.
21:48Who?
21:49Elsa Hubbard.
21:50Well, that's manageable, right?
21:53If Martha applies to modify the easement, then we're still in play.
21:56She gets approval, then we buy the deed once the amendment's cleared.
21:59I'm afraid it's not that simple.
22:01Why not?
22:02Because she attached the name of her potential buyer to the application.
22:06And let me guess.
22:07It's not our name.
22:09I'm afraid not.
22:10It was filed with Daniel Newman's name attached.
22:13So what are you saying?
22:14Daniel scooped the property out from under us?
22:16Well, not exactly.
22:17It's just that having him as the potential buyer attached to the application gives him the upper hand in many ways.
22:23He'll likely get top priority for the sale of the land.
22:26So how do we fight this?
22:28Don't worry.
22:28I'll look into it.
22:29We have time.
22:31Tina, you look beautiful.
22:44Thank you, likewise.
22:45He cleans up pretty well, too, doesn't he?
22:48Very sharp.
22:48You both look radiant.
22:50And you, you little wiggle worm.
22:52It's a very big day.
22:53Thank you for standing with us, Janet.
22:54I'm honored, truly.
22:56So who's the godfather?
22:57I have a distant relative who drove into town from Ohio yesterday.
23:00He's the closest family we have.
23:03There he is.
23:07I'm Janet.
23:11Excuse me, everyone, friends, family.
23:15If everyone could find a comfortable place to sit or stand, we are about to begin.
23:23But first, Tina and Louis, we have known you for a few months but have gotten to know you better over the last couple of weeks on the ranch.
23:33What a privilege.
23:34And what a privilege.
23:35The love that they share between them is a shining example of how to treat others with kindness, patience, and understanding.
23:45My niece, Janet, Dr. Hamilton, helped them to begin their journey into parenthood and is now the honored godmother of their beautiful baby boy.
24:00We also have the ever-so-talented Janie Carson joining us today and treating us to her beautiful music.
24:07Janie, please.
24:08Janie, please.
24:38Still all my songs shall be nearer, my God, to Thee.
24:50Nearer, my God, to Thee.
24:56Nearer to Thee.
25:01Oh, that was so lovely.
25:10Oh.
25:13And now, Pastor James.
25:21And, Amy, thank you for those wonderful words.
25:23Janie, beautiful.
25:25Thank you so much for gifting us with that.
25:29Well, everyone, take a look around.
25:33We are so blessed to be in this space.
25:38Now, I don't know about you, but I'm used to stained glass windows, tall ceilings, and ample seating.
25:43But it's days like today that remind me that faith can be practiced anywhere.
25:50Matthew 18, 20.
25:53For where two or three gather in my name, so am I there, too.
25:58I'd like to welcome you all.
26:02Thank you for coming to bear witness for this special occasion.
26:05And as we gather here in this humble setting, it reminds me of our Lord Jesus as an infant being laid in the manger.
26:14Let's begin.
26:16Tina Lewis, Godparents, please.
26:17In Mark 10, 14, Jesus says,
26:25Let the little children come to me, and don't hinder them.
26:28For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
26:35So as we begin, I ask you, what did you name your child?
26:39Thomas James Hatches.
26:41Thomas James Hatches.
26:41And what do you ask of God's church for Thomas James Hatches?
26:52Baptism.
26:53Baptism is a sign of God's good grace of work.
26:58It represents a beginning.
27:01It's the beginning of a very long journey.
27:04It's not something to be done and then over.
27:07It's an everyday journey.
27:11So as we move forward, I ask you, do you promise to nurture this child with the teachings of Christ our Lord?
27:20We do.
27:20We do.
27:22Godparents, do you promise to help them?
27:24We will.
27:26Right.
27:30Dear Lord, we ask that you pour out your Holy Spirit to bless the gift of this water when the child sets receive it.
27:41We ask that you wash away his sin and clothe him in righteousness throughout his life.
27:47That he may rise with Christ and share in everlasting joy.
27:50Amen.
27:51I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
28:01Thomas James Hatches.
28:03You are now sealed by Holy Spirit in baptism with Christ forever.
28:10May the Lord bless you and keep you.
28:12May his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.
28:14May he look upon you with favor and give you peace.
28:20Amen.
28:21Amen.
28:22Please welcome the newest member of God's family, Thomas James Hatches.
28:57James, that was inspiring.
29:09Well, yeah, it's a baptism.
29:10It's a very joyous occasion.
29:12Absolutely.
29:14A new life full of potential.
29:18You know, I knew that you would be great at what you do.
29:21But I loved getting to see just how much.
29:26You finally got to see me in action.
29:29And I get it now.
29:31Why this is your calling.
29:33You're a natural.
29:34Chicago, I know the city's calling you back.
29:40But this town needs someone like you.
29:45Chicago's lucky to have you.
29:48Take your chance.
29:49James.
30:07Daniel, today's not the day.
30:09Today's the day.
30:12Got some news for your family.
30:14Just didn't want you hearing it from the mailbox.
30:16And what's that?
30:18Newmans have officially purchased the windstone quarry.
30:22What?
30:23Yeah, deal's done.
30:25We got the easement assessment from the government.
30:27It's closed.
30:28How's that possible?
30:29Mason said we still had time.
30:30Well, Hamilton family was a little late coming to the table.
30:33I think you'll agree we're being more than fair.
30:39And with our overhead costs, we have had to make some slight increases.
30:45Is it a water rights agreement?
30:49You can't raise the prices.
30:52Well, we can.
30:53We are.
30:54I think you need to get off my property.
31:04James.
31:05Don't make me say it again.
31:10All right.
31:14You know what?
31:15I kind of like it here.
31:17Maybe just buy your land one day, too.
31:19Yeah, it's not for sale.
31:21Neither is my family.
31:22Yeah.
31:38Hey, Dad.
31:39Yeah, I got to talk to him.
31:41Hit me out front of the house.
31:47Dad, how'd this happen?
31:48Well, somehow they made it first past the post.
31:53Yeah, but how?
31:54Nothing was filed at the recorder's office.
31:56How'd they get this done so fast?
31:57Well, it was something low down.
31:58I can tell you that.
32:00Wait, you think they pulled a fast one on us?
32:02I always thought they'd try to cheat.
32:05I just didn't know how.
32:08Daniel, he needs to answer a few questions.
32:10Wait, Dad.
32:11Let me take care of this.
32:15Let me go.
32:26James.
32:28I, um...
32:33Forget it.
32:35We got to talk about this.
32:42No, we don't.
32:43There's nothing to discuss.
32:44We already own the land.
32:45Would you stop walking away from me?
32:46This isn't right.
32:47It is right.
32:48In fact, it's fair.
32:50Okay?
32:51It's out of my hands now.
32:52Trust me.
32:53How convenient.
32:54You set a devastating plan in motion, and all of a sudden you're going to hide behind some paper.
32:57We rely on that water source as much as you do.
33:00Martha gave us both a fair deal.
33:01Daniel, this is business.
33:03It's not personal.
33:05Of course, it's personal.
33:06You're taking food out of the mouths of our ranch hands families, Daniel.
33:10There's bigger powers at play here, okay?
33:12You don't understand.
33:15You know what this is going to do to us.
33:19You guys have been struggling for a lot of years.
33:21Maybe someday it's finally here.
33:25You know our families, we've been neighbors for 150 years.
33:40I know.
33:42That should count for something.
33:47You're better than this.
33:48So, you talk to Daniel?
34:12Yeah, he made it sound like it was out of his hands, so I don't know how that could possibly be.
34:16Well, either way, they won this round.
34:21Not necessarily.
34:23I'm so sick of their underhanded ways, but that's not what I want to say to you.
34:30What you did for that family today.
34:46I don't know anyone on God's earth who could have said those words better.
34:53Thanks, Dad.
34:55I appreciate that.
34:58I think a part of me didn't want to believe that you were so good at what you do.
35:04You have a gift.
35:07A gift of solace and comfort.
35:11Of offering people joy and hope.
35:14I can see that now.
35:15I want you to know that I fully support the decision you made to go back to your church in Chicago.
35:29That's your world.
35:31And you have earned your place in it.
35:35Yeah, about that.
35:36I know.
35:37I know you're leaving soon.
35:40I won't try to stop you.
35:43Now, with this, add this.
35:47It's not the first time we've been tested.
35:50We've had worse storms come across this land over the years.
35:56Don't you worry about that.
35:57As much as you're a natural at work in this land, your higher calling, it's more important, Jane.
36:08And I can see that now.
36:11I need you to know that you have my blessing.
36:14I feel like I've been waiting forever to hear those words.
36:32I can't tell you how much it means to me.
36:36No, Dad, today...
36:38Today showed me that maybe there is a place for both sides of me here at Red Oak.
36:50I can see a world where I can maybe set up a parish closer to home, very close.
36:57I work in Cowboy Church right here on the ranch.
37:03I told you to stay and build a church for the community.
37:07If you'll donate the old calving barn.
37:14Well, I guess we could at least assure the community that the building would always be maintained.
37:23You don't mind?
37:26No.
37:28No, I don't mind.
37:30I think your mother would like this a lot.
37:37Don't worry, Dad.
37:52I got a few ideas about the new ones.
37:56We're not at this fight yet.
37:57Uncle Jackson.
38:15Danny, tell me it's all done.
38:18Yeah.
38:18Papers are delivered.
38:19I wish I could have seen the look on old Willis' face.
38:22Yeah, you must have been pretty shook up.
38:24St. James over here questioned me.
38:26It just smells like desperation, doesn't it?
38:29Hide behind a man of faith.
38:31You still thinking of coming to town?
38:33I am always thinking about Crossroad Springs.
38:37You can count on that.
38:38Lord will be sure.
38:53Please pour that.
38:59Bye.
39:00Bye.
39:00Bye.
39:00Bye.
39:01Bye.
39:02Bye.
39:03Bye.
39:04Bye.
39:05Bye.
39:06Bye.
