07:21good morning
07:22good morning
07:28cal not up yet
07:29he went for a walk
07:30he just needed a little space
07:36i guess he's still upset
07:43do you think jed's making the right decision
07:45not accepting treatment
07:49i could buy him some time
07:52but to be honest
07:54i don't know how much
08:00i didn't believe the doctors at first when they told us
08:04jed seemed fine
08:06well pancreatic cancer is easy to miss
08:09but there aren't a lot of symptoms
08:14i'm worried about cal
08:25he's been angry with his father for so long
08:32what did he tell you about jed
08:37just that life with him was difficult
08:41he could be unpredictable
08:46managing jed's condition with four kids was hard
08:51i relied on cal for help
08:55he grew up fast
08:58carried more on his shoulders than any child should have to
09:04i don't think he ever
09:06forgave jed for not being the father he needed
09:10what about the others
09:13well it was different for them
09:16and they had cal to lean on
09:19he was there for them
09:21i don't want you thinking it was all bad
09:22oh
09:24and we had plenty of good days together too
09:27i just wish cal could remember that
09:39hey
09:40you ready
09:42made an appointment with another realtor
09:44we've already looked at everything available
09:47what are you doing
09:49looking to see if anybody's hiring a chef
09:50that seems to be a dead end too
09:55i think i'm gonna have to move somewhere with more options
09:59like leave timberlake
10:02but you can't just move
10:04this is your home
10:06your friends are here
10:08what other choice do i have
10:43i don't care about my own kids
10:45no of course not
10:46i know what's best for this family
10:48we can't keep doing this
10:50the kids need stability
10:51i want us to have a proper home
10:55hey
10:57chopped enough firewood for a month
11:01just blowing off some steam
11:04i can see that
11:08maybe talking would help
11:11honestly i don't really know what i'm feeling right now
11:19why don't we get out of here
11:21get a little distance from all this
11:24where do you want to go

15:01moving where
15:02somewhere he can find work as a chef
15:04no no we can't let that happen
15:06there's got to be something we can do
15:07i'm not sure there's anything to do
15:09unless you happen to know of a location we haven't looked at yet
15:13i think i might have an idea
15:15i wanna go up up and away
15:18from this place that i call
15:21i've been waiting for the day since i was 17 years old
15:26so peaceful

15:32i wanna go up up and away
15:35up up and away
15:48you know
15:49seeing the world from way up here
15:52helps remind me that i'm not the only one in the world with problems
16:07i know things
16:09between you and your father haven't been good for a long time

20:51but now he's got you
20:54and i'm grateful
20:56and i can leave this world knowing
20:59he's gonna be okay
21:06it really broke my heart you know
21:08when he moved away
21:12and i never understood
21:14why he did that
21:18until now
21:20and it
21:21just tears me up
21:23knowing that
21:24i'm the reason that he's gonna carry around all that anger
21:27for the rest of his life
21:30i always hoped
21:32one day we'd get a chance to
21:35just talk things out
21:41that he would forgive me
21:45but i don't think that's gonna happen now
21:51maybe it's not too late
21:55no i think cal's made it pretty clear how he feels
21:58i'm a little tired
22:03i think i'm gonna go lay down
22:18no way
22:20what is it
22:22it's boreal felt
22:23it's a rare species of lichen
22:25i can't believe this
22:29something wrong
22:34you see this black spot here
22:36i think it might be dying
22:39why is that
22:40this particular lichen is sensitive to environmental toxins
22:45environmental toxins huh
22:49follow me
22:56like the kind you get from nearby construction
23:11hey
23:12things go okay with your mother

23:19cleared the air
23:20i'm glad

23:29yeah
23:31you know i don't want to say anything else i'll regret
23:34he really wants to make things right with you cal
23:37i think it's a little late for that don't you maggie
23:42this is your chance
23:44all right to tell him how you feel and to hear what he has to say
23:48look if you can't do it for yourself
23:50can you maybe do it for him
23:54now he's finally decided to take his medication
23:59now he wants to talk
24:02what about all those years ago when i needed him
24:05i know
24:07i get it
24:08i do that's how i felt
24:10about sully until i heard his side of the story
24:16don't you think you at least owe it to him
24:18just
24:20just let him explain
24:22i don't think i can
24:25why not
24:30i can't say goodbye
24:35i did it with lynn
24:37and uh
24:43it was the hardest thing
24:45i've ever had to do
24:53i don't think i can do that again
25:00i know this isn't easy cal
25:04i'm just worried that if you don't do this
25:07that you're gonna regret it
25:37can i sit with him for a little bit for a rest of the story
25:41Would that be nice?
25:57Remember, he loves you.
26:08He loves you.
26:10He loves you.
26:21He loves you.
26:24He loves you.
26:41Hey, you can't sleep?
26:42I heard a noise.
26:44I think it was a monster.
26:46You think it was a monster?
26:48Oh no.
26:49Okay, those monsters.
26:52Any monster comes near you,
26:54they're gonna have to go through me first.
26:56So I'm gonna roar those monsters away.
26:59How about I give you a piggyback ride back to bed?
27:02Hop on, California.
27:05Paghetti up.
27:07Here we go.
27:10You howl.
27:11Howl.
27:14Let's roar those monsters away.
27:25You're back.
27:27How'd it go?
27:28We found some rare lichen, but it looks like something's killing it off.
27:32Really?
27:33And Jacob thinks that it might be coming from the new development.
27:37You mean Glenn's construction site?
27:39Yeah, so on.
27:40Wow.
27:42That might be what we need to shut him down.
27:44You can't go around accusing people without evidence.
27:47We have evidence.
27:51What's that?
27:52A sample of the dying lichen.
27:54I'll get it tested.
27:55See if there's any signs of toxic chemicals.
27:58How long will that take?
27:59Probably a few weeks.
28:01If he's using something toxic, we have to shut him down now.
28:06Let's go talk to somebody at the Nova Scotia Environmental Agency.
28:10Maybe we should think about this first.
28:13Come on.
28:14Let's show him what you've got.
28:28Thank you for being here for Cal.
28:30I can see how much it means to him.
28:33I understand what it's like to be estranged from your father.
28:37I didn't see mine for a very long time.
28:41You understand how he feels.
28:43I do.
28:46But I also know what it feels like to finally let go of all that hurt you carry around inside
28:52you.
28:53And I want Cal to be able to do that.
28:57I can tell you love my son very much.
29:00I do.
29:05When I first met Jed, I was hitchhiking across Colorado.
29:11Jed picked me up.
29:14Things were good at the beginning.
29:17But then he started developing symptoms and complaining that the world had lost its color.
29:27Eventually things got worse.
29:30Doctors prescribed pills.
29:32But Jed didn't like the way they made him feel.
29:34So he decided to manage his condition through diet, meditation.
29:40And that worked.
29:42A lot of the time.
29:46I know my husband isn't perfect.
29:50But he always tried to be the best dad he could be.
29:54Despite his condition.
29:58I can't imagine how difficult that must have been for you.
30:04It is surprising what you learn to live with when you love someone.
30:13I spent my entire life taking care of Jed.
30:20He's been my world.
30:23My everything.
30:25I don't know what I'm going to do when he's...
30:31You are always welcome to stay with us at the crossing.
30:35Thank you Maggie.
30:37I appreciate that.
30:40Thank you Maggie.
30:52I appreciate that.
30:56I appreciate that.
30:57I appreciate that.
30:58Yes.
30:59But if it's alright, I'd like this to stay between us.
31:02I don't want the other firefighters catching away with it.
31:03No problem.
31:13How long have you been sitting there?
31:15Not long.
31:24I was just remembering when we all used to sleep in that old tiny tent together.
31:30You were afraid of the dark.
31:33I wouldn't go to bed until I checked for monsters.
31:37You said you'd protect me.
31:43I tried.
31:46But you didn't take the pills.
31:50We needed you.
31:53I needed you.
31:56And you weren't there for us.
31:59The medication, it was so strong back then.
32:05It had a lot of side effects.
32:09It just left me feeling numb.
32:13Just disconnected from the world.
32:18And from you kids.
32:22How could I be a good father if I was on them?
32:27You spent my childhood walking on eggshells, Dad.
32:30I know.
32:31I know.
32:31I'm sorry, Cal.
32:33I wish things could have been different.
32:35I was born.
32:37I thought I made the right choice.
32:42That what I was doing was best for my family.
32:48And maybe I was wrong.
32:52Maybe you would have been better off without me.
32:54Maybe I'm terrible.
33:01You know.
33:06I don't think I've ever understood.
33:10To right now.
33:13Of the monster you were always so afraid of.
33:20I guess I wasn't the only one running for monsters, was I?
33:27Yeah.
33:31It's a hard thing to live your whole life being just so scared of losing yourself.
33:42That you end up driving people that you love away.
33:49Oh, Dad.
33:51Love is like a tiger on a line mine.
33:55You're scared but wanna save it at the same time.
33:59It's the age of believing.
34:02I'm so, so sorry.
34:05It's the age of believing.
34:07I didn't understand.
34:09Oh, it's the age of believing.
34:23What smells so good?
34:25Your father's favorite.
34:27Uh, roast beef and mashed potatoes.
34:32How'd it go with Janet?
34:34You were right.
34:35I needed to hear him out.
34:38I just wish I would have done that years ago.
34:42Thank you for pushing me.
34:44Yeah.
34:51Just happy I could help.
34:57I'll finish setting the table.
35:03Mom.
35:04Yes?
35:06I shouldn't have judged you.
35:08I am just...
35:10so happy that you finally had a chance to talk things through to your father.
35:14Me too.
35:19I love you, Mama.
35:23I love you too, California.
35:32I love you too, California.
35:40Hey.
35:40They took one look at Jacob's rare liking.
35:44They were all over it.
35:46They're gonna send the inspector to pay Glenn a visit first thing in the morning.
35:48Frank and I can't wait to see the look on his face.
35:53You two are going?
35:54Wouldn't miss it for the world.
35:57I think poking a hornet's nest is a mistake.
36:00Ah, you worry too much.
36:02I hope you're right.
36:14Sorry.
36:14I was too hungry to wait.
36:16But there's a bowl for you in the oven.
36:18It should still be warm.
36:20Well, I'm glad you're home.
36:22I've got some good news.
36:25Oh, yeah?
36:26Yeah.
36:32It turns out there's an old lodge that's just been sitting empty at the crossing for years.
36:37And guess what?
36:38What?
36:39Sully just offered it to Rob to use as his restaurant.
36:44Did you even hear what I said?
36:48Yeah. Sully gave Rob his old lodge.
36:50You don't seem that excited.
36:52I got it all on my mind.
36:55Cooper's still giving you a hard time.
36:57Yeah.
36:59Look, I'm sorry, Rafe.
37:01I didn't mean to get you into trouble.
37:04It is what it is, Sydney.
37:06I'm just going to have to deal with it.
37:16Here we go.
37:20This looks delicious.
37:21Favorite.
37:25Okay.
37:27I want to tell you how grateful I am you're here.
37:32And how happy it makes me that you found each other.
37:37Because I know it's a really hard thing to come by.
37:42You know, I've always lived my life on my own terms.
37:47And I intend to continue doing that with the time I have left.
37:52Okay.
37:54Your mother and I, we talked it over.
37:57And we would like to take one last adventure together.
38:02We are going to drive the old bus to the Grand Canyon.
38:14That's a great idea.
38:15Here.
38:15Yeah.
38:22Okay.
38:42Let's take a look around.
38:43Nothing appears to be out of the ordinary here.
38:45Glad to hear.
38:46You had me a little worried there.
38:48My father's a contractor.
38:49Does a lot of business with the government.
38:51And he would kill me.
38:52If I did anything to damage his reputation.
38:55I apologize for the inconvenience, but certainly appreciate your cooperation.
38:59Anytime.
39:03You crossed the line this time, Sully.
39:05If I were you, I'd watch my back from now on.
39:10Is that a threat?
39:12No, that's not a threat.
39:15It's a promise.
39:19Have a great day.
39:28Oh, I think that's everything.
39:30Just the food.
39:32You sure you want me to come with?
39:34You've got your own life to worry about.
39:37Now, Cal, don't worry.
39:38I will take very good care of your father.
39:42You'll keep in touch?
39:44Let us know how he's doing?
39:45Of course.
39:46Okay.
39:47Okay.
39:51Just remember how much I love you, Cal.
39:54I love you too, Mama.
40:02I said I was gonna come get you.
40:04I told you, I told you.
40:05I don't want you fussing over me.
40:09Why won't I help you in the kitchen with that cooler?
40:13I'd appreciate that.
40:21I just wanna tell you how proud I am of the man that you have become.
40:27Thanks, Dad.
40:29Maggie, she's a smart woman.
40:32With a good heart.
40:34I hope you hang on to her.
40:36I'm planning on it.
40:38I'm just really glad that we had this time together.
40:43Me too.
40:45Cal, I wanted to say I know I wasn't the easiest person to live with.
40:53But I just hope that one day he'll be able to look back and just...
40:58Just remember the good times, huh?
41:02Maybe...
41:03Maybe share some stories about your old man with your kids, yeah?
41:11You can count on that.
41:15Make sure you live your life to the fullest.
41:18Because you only get one shot.
41:21But if you do things right, it's a hell of a ride.
41:41We had some fun times in this whole thing, didn't we?
41:44We sure did.
41:49I love you, Dad.
41:50I love you, Dad.
41:51I love you too, son.
41:55I love you too.
42:00I love you too.
42:05Okay, we better get going.
42:07You have a lot of driving?
42:08Yeah.
42:08I love you too.
42:18This is just a little something.
42:22And, uh, why not open it after we're gone?
42:26Okay.
42:31Help me.
42:39Alright.
42:47Give me a minute.
42:49Nice.
43:20Grow a crown and star fly, you stole and fell away.
43:57Grow a crown and star fly.
