07:15me too
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
11:26i think i know a place might
11:28help give you a little perspective

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

15:35up up and away
15:48you know
15:49seeing the world from way up here

16:07i know things
16:09between you and your father haven't been good for a long time

19:06we were just kids
19:09we needed you too
19:11but what about us

19:18even if that meant
19:19having one that wasn't perfect
19:23he loved you
19:24did you really want me to turn my back on him when he needed us
19:29i know i wasn't there for you the way i should have been
19:32and i will never be able to forgive myself for that
19:35but i
19:38i did everything i could
19:42and i wish your father hadn't been sick
19:45and i wish things could have been different for all of us
19:49i'm sorry
19:52i never thought about how hard it was for you to
19:57the person is hardest on

20:17a bit better

20:33me too
20:35marissa and i
20:36we worry about cal
20:40losing lynn
20:42that was hard for him
20:44we weren't sure
20:47if he'd be able to find his way back from that
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

23:29yeah
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
25:10you're the best
25:11you're the best
25:11that you'll share
25:14you'll continue to about just a moment

26:56so i'm gonna roar those monsters away how about i give you a piggyback ride back to bed
27:02hop on calabonia getty up here we go
27:10you howl howl
27:14let's throw those monsters away
27:25you're back how'd it go we found some rare lichen but it looks like something's killing it off
27:33really and jacob thinks that it might be coming from the new development you mean glenn's
27:38construction site yeah so what wow that might be what we need to shut him down you can't go around
27:45accusing people without evidence we have evidence
27:51what's that a sample of the dying lichen i'll get it tested see if there's any signs of toxic chemicals
27:57how long will that take probably a few weeks if he's using something toxic we have to shut him down
28:03now
28:06let's go let's go talk to somebody at the nova scotia environmental agency
28:10maybe we should think about this first come on let's show him what you've got
28:15so thank you for being here for cal i can see how much it means to him
28:34i understand what it's like to be estranged from your father
28:37i didn't see mine for a very long time so you understand how he feels i 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 i do
29:05when i first met jed
29:07i was hitchhiking across colorado jed picked me up
29:14now things were good at the beginning
29:17but then he started developing symptoms and
29:21complaining that the world had lost its color
29:27eventually things got worse
29:30doctors prescribed pills but jed didn't like the way they made him feel so
29:35he decided to manage his condition through diet meditation and that worked a 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 despite his condition
29:58i can't imagine how difficult that must have been for you
30:03it is surprising what you learned to live with when you love someone
30:13i spent my entire life taking care of jed
30:20he's been my world my everything i don't know what i'm gonna do when he's
30:31you are always welcome to stay with us at the crossing
30:50i want things to run smoothly around here too i know i need to make a change
30:56so we understand each other then yes but if it's all right i'd like this to stay between us
31:01i don't want the other firefighters catching away with it no problem
31:13how long have you been sitting there not long
31:25i was just remembering when we all used to sleep in that old tiny tent together
31:30you were afraid of the dark wouldn't go to bed until i checked for monsters
31:37you said you'd protect me
31:43i tried but you didn't take the pills
31:50we needed you
31:53i needed you and 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
32:26you spent my childhood walking on eggshells dad
32:30i know i know i'm sorry cal
32:33i wish things could have been different
32:37i thought i made the right choice
32:42that what i was doing it was best for my family
32:48maybe i was wrong
32:52maybe you would have been better off without me
33:07i don't think i don't think i've ever understood
33:14it was me
33:24i guess i wasn't the only one running for monsters was i
33:31it's a hard thing to live your whole life being just so scared of losing yourself
33:41that you end up driving people that you love away
33:49oh dad
33:57at the same time it's the age of believing i'm so so sorry i didn't understand
34:23what smells so good your father's favorite uh roast beef and mashed potatoes
