[J,C,] Son, I'm done talking,
Well, I'm not,
We've got plenty of land for a few horses,
This is a cattle ranch,
Your brother knew that,
- And cattle's what got him killed,
That was an accident,
You've always wished it was me instead of him on that rig,
Now you're just talking crazy,
This will always be a cattle ranch
as long as I have anything to say about it,
I should have some say,
Isn't being your only son and a Longhorn worth something?
- It's worth respect and obedience,
I'm a grown man,
Then act like it,
- I am, I bought those horses with my own money,
And I ought to be able to keep them here
on our family's land,
Land that you never worked,
- You inherited this ranch, You didn't earn it,
At least I earned my own money,
Earned? [scoffs]
You got it gambling,
- I earned it in the stock market,
- Legalized gambling for people who don't wanna work,
That's what the stock market is,
Call it what you will,
I still made my own money,
- And wasted it on them stupid horses,
North Dakota will never be race horse country,
My father-
- And I'm not your father either,
He didn't have a clue about race horses, I do,
I'm not gonna blow it,
Well, you're just gonna
have to not blow it someplace else,
I want them horses gone by the end of the month,
I'll not have it,
It's just not right,
Well, you're always welcome
to help us here on the Longhorn Cattle Ranch,
And now I am done talking for the second time,
[phone clicks]
[footsteps tapping]
- You ain't gonna be around forever old man,
[phone ringing]
Boeding law office,
Hey, darling, Is he in?
Yes, Mr, Longhorn, One moment,
I told you, call me J,C,
Yes sir, Mr, J,C,
[phone buzzing]
Yes, Janet,
Mr, J,C, is on line one,
Okay, thanks,
Hey, you old troublemaker, What are you up to?
- Finally doing something you've been wanting me to do
to get you off my case,
- Oh, really? Well that'll be a first,
What are you doing that's gonna get me off your case?
- Well, I'm gonna take care of that will thing
you've been nagging me about,
- Listen, make sure you sign all three copies and-
Well, Tom, that's the thing,
I still got one more little change, buddy,
- I'm gonna be over your way tomorrow afternoon,
[pensive music]
That's fine,
Hey, I'll see you tomorrow
and don't die before you sign that will,
[laughs] I'll try not to,

[paper rustling]
[suspenseful piano music continues]
[drawer thuds]
What are you doing?
- I should ask you the same thing,
You're cutting me out of my inheritance,
- I'm ensuring that this ranch stays a cattle ranch,
- You're giving it to a stranger,
- I'm giving to someone I can trust,
Someone who will take care of your mother,
- You can't do this, I'll fight it,
[tense music]
[J,C, grunts]
Son, My pills,
Son my,,,
Give me my pills, Please, Son,

How's it looking, Princess?
Daddy, she's spectacular,
I'm lucky to have a dad that knows all about horses,
I don't see how she can lose,
[horse snorts]
- Now you're just saying that because you know it's true,
[Luke chuckles]
[manure squelches]
Ah,
Hey Mac, you gotta keep that nag away from WSD,
I can't afford to have any spotted thoroughbreds,
- Hey, Colonel's not- - Easy, Princess,
Mr, Longhorn here doesn't recognize prize stock,
Colonel's a gelding, sir, so there's no worry there,
- He couldn't even- - Whatever,
How's she look?
- Fine, Mr, Longhorn, Looks real fine,
We'll be ready for Belmont,
Better be is all I can say,
We need a good showing outta her
so she can start generating some breeding fees,
No breeding fees means no need for a breeder,
- Well, it's a good thing for you
that I'm a cattleman too, sir,
- Yeah, well the cattle will be gone soon,
So I just need you to concentrate
on being a good horse breeder,
Yes, sir, I know that,
Wall Street Dandy will place, I'd bet my paycheck on it,
You are,
[J,P, laughing]
What? Laughing's against your religion too?
No, sir,
It's just my Jesus is not a real laughing matter-
Wait, hold on,
It's not Sunday is it?
No, I don't think so,
So save your preaching,
- Boss, we er, we moved all the cattle up to the north barn,
Could be a Blue Norther coming,
Got plenty of here up yonder,
- Well that doesn't really mean a thing to me, Angus,
because as soon as Wall Street Dandy hits at Belmont,
I'm gonna sell off all those cattle,
[horse snorts]
- Hey, Sunshine, You broke that stallion yet?
Mr, Duke, you know I can ride,
And you know Colonel's my best friend,
He came broke,
[Duke chuckles]
- Hey, you want me and the boys to bring your horses in?
Glad to do it before we head out,
No thanks, Duke,
They've been cooped up last two, three days with the rain,
So I'm gonna let 'em run,
Well suit yourself,
Pretty strange weather we having,
Could get nasty at any time,
Could be a Blue Norther coming,
Think so? In September?
Kinda early, don't you think?
This is North Dakota, Luke,
it's never too early for snow,
Of course you uh, Florida folks
don't know anything about snow, would you?
- [laughs] Well, remember it's Kelly that's from Florida,
I lived there a year, 18 years ago, so,
- Mm hmm, Well your horses are not like my cows,
They've been pretty comfy in that Hilton inn
you've been running,
They'll get disoriented if that snow
come up on 'em suddenly,
- I gotta tell you, Duke, I've seen a lot of snow skies
and this don't look like any snow sky I've ever seen,
- Well, sometimes the Norther don't give you the courtesy
of a snow sky, especially when it's coming in at night,
Well, I appreciate that,
I'll tell you what,
I don't think there's anything to worry about personally,
If it makes you feel better, I'll have my boys
sit up tonight and watch the sky,
Okay,
I'll see you later then,
I'll see you later, Sunshine,
- Yeah, we're all good up there, boss,
Alright,
Y'all take care,
We'll be fine,
- Gotta get a smaller hat, Daddy,
[Luke] Yes you do, darling,
Say, what's a Blue Northern?
Mr, Duke said one was coming,
- Well, it's actually Norther, and it's kind of like a myth,
It's like when cold weather sneaks up on people
and then it dumps a bunch of snow on 'em
and then sits back and laughs at 'em,
[giggles] Like Santa?
Yeah, kinda like Santa, Yeah,
But a Norther's presence means a whole bunch of snow,
I'll tell you what, let's wrap this up, Okay?
Mom's in there cooking dinner
and she needs all the help she can get,
She's gotta work tonight, Okay?
- I'm gonna put Colonel in the stable,
I wouldn't want him to get caught in that Blue Norther,
I think you're just trying
to get outta cleaning the chicken, little girl,
And peeling the potatoes,
- God at least you're keeping her honest,
[pensive music]
[horse neighs]
[hooves thundering]
Woo,
- I've got things pretty much under control
Now I wanted to get in here
and help you with those, I did,
- Sure you did, And I don't have to work tonight either,
Really?
- As real as you wanting to peel these potatoes,

[food sizzling]
- Well, don't just stand there, set the table,
I've gotta be at the hospital in a little while,
My shift starts at 9:00,
The 9:00 to 3:00 shift?
Six hours and get paid for eight,
It's a neat trick,
- Son, I'm gonna need you and your brother tomorrow,
All right?
I wanna run some time trials of Wall Street Dandy,
And it's my turn to ride,
- It may be your turn, but Dad needs the best rider
for the best horse,
- I'll tell you what, we're almost ready here,
Why don't you go hurry your sister up,
She's out in the barn with Colonel,
All right,
She'll be ready to come in now
that everything's finished in here,
I didn't notice you reporting
for duty till we were all done,
- Work smart, not hard, Right, Dad?
[door clicks]
[wind whooshing]
[footsteps crunching]
You ought to get a smaller hat,
I know, I know,
- You know you can come in for dinner now?
Everything's done,
- Hey! I was working with Colonel,
Do you think he'd be warm enough in here tonight?
- Don't ask me, I'm not a horse person,
What?
- Hey, that's Dad and your other brother, Not me,
In two months I'm 18 and I'm outta here,
What? You can't leave,
I like to ride,
Other than that, I don't really care much for horses,
Maybe to bet on 'em, That's about it,
Does Dad know?
- Hey, I'm gonna make some real money out there,
You'll see,
This family's making it only because Mom
has a great job at the hospital,
- This family's making it because of the grace of God,
- He provides all- - God looks down and smiles,
That's about it,
You gotta make your own way,
You know there's more to life than horses and church and,
Right, Sunshine?
- Hey, only Mr, Duke calls me that,
And God does take care of us,
Yeah?
Well, I'll hedge my bet if you don't mind,
You kids all right?
Oh yes, Mr, Peabo,,,
Sure, Mr, Duke,
We're just finishing up, getting ready for dinner,
Sure thing, kid,
You might wanna leave that heat on though,
Could snow, you know,
Night, Mr, Duke,
- Goodnight, Sunshine, See you tomorrow,
Goodnight, Mr, Mackenzie,
Snow? What's he talking about?
A myth,
A miss, Miss what?
No, A myth,
It's like a fairytale or something,
- [chuckles] I know what a myth is,
What's it gotta do with snow?
- Oh, Mr, Duke told daddy a Blue Northern is coming,
That's a big cold snow storm,
- It's a Norther, And I know what a Norther is,
So does your Mr, Duke,
You know he's been around here a lot longer than Dad has,
- He doesn't know more than Daddy, besides, God wouldn't-
God would,
Now come on, It's dinner time,
Night, boy, you keep warm,
Gonna turn the heater off,
- Mr, Duke said leave the heater on,
- Yeah, well, Mr, Duke doesn't pay
the electrical bills around here,
[switch clicks]
Just come on,
You better hurry up, Sunshine, God will let you freeze,
- Stop it, Stop talking to God that way,
And stop calling me Sunshine,
- You don't even know why Angus calls you that,
You just need to stop,
And stop calling Mr, Duke by that name,
He doesn't like it,
Now where are you going?
I forgot my hat,
That stupid hat,
[switch clicks]
- Don't worry, boy, I didn't really forget my hat,
And I do so know why Mr, Duke calls me Sunshine,
It's because my real name means morning light,
I'll see you in the morning light,
- Dear heavenly Father, thank you for all the favor,
blessings, and victories you've brought into our lives,
Please bless this food,
In Jesus name, Amen,
Dig!
Aurora,
- She was eight before she knew amen
and dig in wasn't one word!
[family laugh]
Well dig in,
Dad, I saw The Duke earlier
as he was getting ready to head out,
You mean Angus?
- Son, he likes to be called The Duke, Okay?
- Why because he doesn't like his real name, Angus Peabody?
Son,
He was a singer, Right, Dad?
In that group, the Kings Own,
- It was The Dukes, The Dukes of Earl,
And we're gonna give our elders the respect
they deserve around here, okay?
For some reason he prefers The Duke
and we're gonna respect his wishes,
Probably because his real name
sounds more like an accountant than it does a cowboy,
Son,
- Daddy, Mr, Duke stopped in the stable
before he left and said about that Northern again,
He told me to leave the heater on for Colonel,
- Well, you know that's probably not a bad idea,
I turned it off,
No sense of wasting money,
Mm,
Northern? It's Norther, right?
What exactly defines one?
- It's a sudden burst of cold weather and sometimes snow,
It can't be predicted and moves swiftly
and dumps a ton of snow on you before you know it,
- I don't remember ever seeing snow when I was little,
I was only four when my dad moved us to Florida though,
- To help build Disney World, right, Mom?
Yes, that's right, dear,
We never had snow of any kind in Florida,
I remember the storm here,
Oh yes, you would,
- Wait a minute, you were only seven or eight years old,
- I remember stuff from when I was three,
Next thing he'll be saying
he remembers living in Florida,
That would be impossible,
Mom and dad moved up to Kentucky right after we were born,
Well, what do you think, hun?
Could there be one tonight or not?
- They never come before November at the earliest,
Don't you remember the big storm when we first moved here?
- Nope, I blocked it outta my mind,
I imagined I was on the beach at Vero,
- Oh, you were ready to run back to Vero for sure,
You had white stuff there too, They call it sand,
I've been around lots of snow,
When we were in Bowling Green, it snowed plenty,
Of course not like that first one here though,
Yes, I remember it,
- So is there going to be one tonight or not?
- Hmm, It was pretty cold outside,
No, no, no,
Now y'all quit calling it down on us, okay?
God watches out for the Mackenzies and remember that,
Amen,
- We ought to at least keep a watch,
Just till Mom gets home,
- Well, I'm gonna stay up and watch a movie,
I can check the sky every once in a while,
Well, I did tell The Duke
that you boys would keep a watch tonight,
So probably not a bad idea to peek
outside while you're watching TV,
What's all the fuss?
I'll take the truck and put it in four wheel drive
if it gets bad,
I'll be safe,
You all will be safe and warm
and the horses will be safe and warm in the stable,
- [Aurora] Wait, Colonel's the only-
Oh, you know what?
Don't worry about that, hun,
If you just take the truck,
everything is gonna be fine here, okay?
Well, amen,
[expectant music]
[ominous music]
[CD thuds]
[CD cover clicks]
I'm gonna watch this one,
Coming?
- Think Dad should have brought Wall Street
and the other horses in?
- [chuckles] I try to think of horses as little as I can,
except maybe to bet on one,
- Gambling is against- - Please!
Don't quote the Bible on me,
You gonna come watch this or not?
No, I'm gonna get some sleep,
Dad said he's got a workday plan tomorrow,
What? In all this snow?
Wake me if you see anything,
- [Jacob] I'm gonna see the movie,
That's what I'm gonna see,
[foreboding music]
[foreboding music continues]
[truck rumbling]
[foreboding music continues]
Hey, Kell,
You're welcome to stay here tonight
instead of driving all the way back out to your ranch,
We've got some empty beds,
Thanks, But no thanks,
This is too much like a hospital,
[people laugh]
I'll be fine,
I've got the truck and it's got four wheel drive,
- It's not like driving on the beach at Vero,
- Why does everyone think I'm from Vero Beach?
I'm from Mound City and that's in Central Florida,
The last time I was there was 18 years ago,
I know how to drive in snow,
Well, the white stuff we have here is a lot different
than the white stuff on the beach,
- Besides, it's not you I'm thinking about
being on the beach, it's me, [laughs]

I just didn't, God,
We should have listened to you, Duke,
- This is the time for your faith, God's with you,
He's with you all,
Yeah, I know,
I know,
It's just so hard, I, er,,,
I went looking for the horses, you know,
I didn't even think about Kelley,
- This is God's plan, Whether you know it or not,
It was some plan,
I'm ruined!
[door thuds]
You, You killed all my horses!
Stop right there,
- Who are you to tell me anything?
- I'm the guy that's gonna beat your butt
if you don't get outta here,
This man lost more than horses,
Well, I'm sorry about that,
But my future froze to death in that storm,
I'm warning you, Not now,
Give it a rest,
Well you're fired,
And so are you!
[door thuds]
[snow plow rumbles]
[bell dings]
- [Announcer] Good afternoon, ladies and gentleman, this,,,
- And don't you worry about that blow hard Longhorn,
He can't do a thing to you,
- [chuckles] Well, I don't know about that,
He is now threatening to sue me,
He's gotta prove damages
and he's gonna get an insurance settlement
for way more than those horses are worth,
What the,,,
heck are we worrying about the horses for?
What are we going to do without Mom?
- Son, there's no reason to curse,
I didn't curse,
- Look, we're walking out what God
has planned for us right now,
It might not be what we like, but it's our destiny,
- Well, my destiny sure has changed,
What am I going to do?
- Well right now, we're all supposed
to be praying together as a family,
This is no time to push,
- Let's just get mom's funeral over
and figure everything else out,
- And you'll get outta the snow for a while,
I don't know, Duke, we, er,,,
We ain't got much here anymore,
I'm not sure we even really should come back,
What?
Son,,,
The Lord has a plan for us,
You just gotta trust him, Okay?
The Lord? The Lord?
I'm having a hard time even believing there is a God,
Why would he even let this happen?
[Luke sighs]
There is no way for us to know
what God's got planned for us, Son,
- Well, I would still like to know why,
God doesn't answer why's,
People who ask why are just looking for an argument,
- And you're totally okay with this,
She was your birth mom and it seems like I care more,
That's ridiculous,
- But why is he selling Colonel Sellers?
- Well, I guess just to hurt you,
- [Announcer] Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,
This is a boarding call for [indistinct],
What's this?
[Duke] It's for you,
Colonel!
Excuse me, folks,
The flight is getting ready to board,
[Luke] Thank you, Ma'am,
- Mr, Duke, you made it so I can take Colonel with me
and when I get back, it will be like,,,
I love him,
- [sighs] You're welcome, Sunshine,
- [Announcer] Final boarding call [indistinct],
- All right, guys, it's time to go, Let's go,
I'll get your bag, baby,
- [Announcer] Please now board at gate 21 [indistinct],
[melancholy music]
Duke, Brother,
Luke,
- Brother, thanks for everything you've done for us, man,
[Duke] Any time,
[melancholy music continues]
[lock clicking]
[keys jingling]
- So what time's our flight? I gotta get outta here,
We've got time,
There's some things I wanna show you guys,
Beside you being born here and your momma growing up here,
I, I remember some pretty cool things
about this little town,
- I remember mom said she always loved the little downtown,
Where is that?
Well, if I remember right,
it's a couple blocks up that way,
But then again, everything here
is a couple blocks up that way,
Yeah, and when we leave,
the population here decreases by 50%,
- It says here Mound City's population is 11,212,
- Well, Fargo's half million is fine for me,
- Son, let's give this a chance, Okay?
A chance?
Chance for what?
Let's get changed,
I'm starved, Can we eat before we go?
Sure,
I don't know if it's still there,
but I remember your mom telling me about a place
she used to go when she was a little girl,
Her mom and dad took her there,
And I think it's a couple blocks that way,
[gentle music]
Wanna check it out?
- Yeah, - Okay, Let's get changed,
[door clicks]

- Howdy folks, I'm Annabel Krause,
I own this place,
- Ma'am, - Thanks for coming in,
How long have you been here?
- [Annabel] Longer than you are old, let me tell you,
- Daddy, do you think Mom could have sat at this table
when she was a little girl?
You can read here,
it, it says that this place was originally located
in the basement in the Argyle building across the street,
Mom couldn't have been here, Not this spot,
- Well son, technically that's correct,
There was a cafe here before we took over,
The Mound City Cafe,
So Mom could have sat here,
That's right, Princess,
Mama could have sat right where you're sitting right now,
Just not that chair,
- We did change the furniture up 10 years ago,
- [Luke] Let's give it a chance, Okay son?
Chance?
There's that word again, What's up?
- Let's just have a nice lunch and get on the road,
'Cause there's one more place I want to take you guys,
Then we can go?
- [Annabel] Our specials are on the board back there,
- Daddy, We can get dessert, right?
[Luke] Sure, Princess,
Ma'am, could we get four desserts please?
Sure,
- Good, 'cause it says they kept the famous
carrot cake recipe from Mount City Cafe,
- Maybe Mom had some carrot cake right here,
- We just took two out of the oven,
I'm sure she had them,
- [Luke] We'll take four pieces please,
[Annabel] Great,
Then we can go?
[upbeat music]
[upbeat music continues]
What's this?
- Kids, this is the exact spot where your mother grew up,
She was a little girl here?
[Luke] That's right, Princess,
Your mama played and ran and rode horses
all over this place,
Well you better slow down,
It looks like this place has an owner,
See that moving truck over there?
[Luke] Yeah, I see it,
- Looks like they got some sucker to buy this dump,
Come on, let's take a look,
[Aurora] Yeah,
[upbeat music]
[upbeat music continues]
[door thuds]
[door clicks]
- Hey Isaac! This is private property, I'm sure,
You can't just go looking through people's windows,
- Daddy, daddy come quick, You won't believe it,
[Isaac] Oh, I'm sure he will,
- [Jacob] I'm gonna get back in the car,
Come on, Come with,
You guys should too,
Come check it out,
- See, see Daddy? - Hey,
It's really Mr, Duke,
- Yes, Sunshine, It really is me,
[Luke laughs]
Go on, You can go on up,
[Luke sighs]
Now you know the first thing she's gonna ask me
is if I brought old Colonel,
I think I'll let you handle that one,
What in the heck?
Hey, hold on right there now,
Jacob, look, I tried to show you
how great this place is, okay?
But you were just bound and determined not to like it here,
Now I'm just gonna say it, I'm just gonna say it,
This is our home now, This is our new home,
Say, any problems getting down here or?
No, no, None at all,
Driving this here truck is no different
than driving my pickup itself,
- Speaking of that, what about our trucks?
- They will be here tomorrow afternoon, Yours and mine,
- Well I had to look through six boxes
but found my video game system,
What's that junk for?
It's for our horses,
You knew we were staying here?
This is incredible,
- He's not in here, I knew he wouldn't be in here,
Colonel's not in here, Where is he?
Why do we have his saddle but not him?
Sunshine, Come here,
Now, you know if there was any way
I could've brought Colonel, I would've, right?
Yeah, I guess so,
Okay,
Sometimes things in our lives don't,
they don't go to way we want,
but God still has a lot of good planned for us,
So if that's true, God has something
pretty special planned for you,
- I hope so, I just really miss Colonel,
Hey, you want to help me?
Why don't you go get some of them boxes
with your name on it,
It's got your stuff in it
and I made 'em small so you can carry 'em,
- Alright honey, you take 'em in the house,
Find what bedroom's gonna be yours, okay?
You mean to tell me J,P wouldn't take five grand for a horse
he's not getting 200 bucks for at an auction,
- I think you coulda offered him your entire insurance
settlement and he'd have turned you down,
Since he can't sue you and you're not coming back to Nodak,
he wants to hurt you and yours any way you can,
Yeah, but a little girl?
I mean if this is God's way of testing me,
I, I, I hope he stops testing me pretty soon,
- Not till he has you the way he wants you,
Yeah, I know,
Say, did the papers come from Logan Insurance?
- Yeah, stopped by on my way outta town
and the secretary was getting ready to mail 'em out,
There you go, I hope it's what you need,
- Well, I've got no secrets about that, It's $200,000,
Kelley's the one who insisted
that we take out term policies on both of us
and it's actually what made me decide to come here,
The boys were actually born here,
but we moved to Bowling Green right afterwards,
Wait a minute, you got relatives here too, right?
- Yeah, I spent some summers here before my mom died,
But I never never met Ms, Kelley though,
- Well her relatives are all gone,
but I think because this land is where she grew up,
I'm pretty sure that's why God called me back here,
- Yeah, Been meaning to tell you,
I, I have an old aunt here,
She's not really my aunt,
it's just what everyone called her,
And she lives about about three or four miles,
I'm gonna say that way, pretty close,
I haven't seen her since I was about 10 or 11,
but from what I hear, she's still alive and kicking,
- You know, I still can't believe you excluded me,
- I didn't include or exclude anybody,
except Duke because I needed help,
You all know you are family,
Isaac knew,
No he didn't, Not really,
He figured it out after he heard me say,
"Give this place a chance,"
- Funny how the adopted son always gets left out,
Where is this from? Really?
You're all my children and you know I love all of you,
Well I'm not a child,
[tense music]
So what's the plan down here?
You're gonna go back to training
other people's horses again?
Don't you think they'll want a resume?
No,
I'm gonna train our horses, horse, this time,
With the money that your mother left,
we have enough to buy back her family ranch, a thoroughbred,
Have a little money left over to live on
for a while while we build up this business,
If we get this place fixed up, we can bring on boarders,
- And we can be the ranch hands, Dad,
I'm counting on that, Son,
- We're getting a new horse, Daddy?
We are, Princess,
- And Mr, Duke, you can stay with us, right?
- Oh no, Sunshine, I gotta get back to Nodak,
There's too much heat down here for me,
And besides I'm starting to feel a little naked
without my coat and gloves,
Mr, Duke!
- So what? I'm just an indentured slave,
You're gonna force me to work in a place
that I don't even wanna be in,
- Jacob, you're still under my roof,
- Well you know what? I'm 18 in two weeks,
[knuckles rapping]
Then I won't be under your roof,
And Mom left that money for all of us, not just you,
[tense music continues]
- I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that,
No, he needed to hear it,
Sunshine, would you like to go somewhere
special with me in the morning?
Where?
- Well, I got an old aunt named Judith
who lives not too far from here
and I know she'd love to meet you,
and she's from across the ocean in Europe,
- Daddy, can I? Go see Mr, Duke's old Aunt Judith?
Sure, Princess,
- Make sure to leave the old out of her name, Okay?
[Aurora giggles]
Deal?
- Yeah, - All right,
[gentle music]
[gentle music continues]
My little man, all grown up!
My! Did you get big!
- It's good to see you Miss Judith,
Let me introduce you to Miss Aurora Mackenzie,
It appears y'all are neighbors,
- I heard somebody bought that place,
Horse people are you?
Yes ma'am, Well, kinda,
- They don't have any horses on the farm just yet,
Ah, Something will turn up,
The Lord will see to it,
- Amen to that, - Have a seat,
You know Angus, I think you were about this child's age
the last time you were here,
Yes ma'am, About 10 or 11,
Thank you, ma'am,
- Now you call me Miss Judy, everybody does,
You working the Mer place with her?
No, ma'am,
I've got a new job that starts back up in North Dakota,
That's where I've been at for the last 20 years,
I just came down to bring their belongings,
They all flew down,
- I know, You told me on the phone,
Sometimes I am getting forgetful,
Oh sweetie, I am so sorry to hear about your mama,
[sighs] You doing okay?
- Well, yes, ma'am, I mean, Miss Judy,
I miss her terribly, but I know she's with God,
Wow, Praise the Lord,
That's a wonderful outlook,
How do you get like that?
- I just try to be grateful for everything
that God does in my life,
And she keeps a journal too,
- That's what helps me remember everything I do have,
not to think about what I don't have,
And she's always happy,
Oh, I can see that,
Sweetie, I know your mama's walking with Jesus right now,
That's a fact,
It's good to see a young lady knowing about our Lord,
- And she even sings in the choir back home,
- Really? You gotta sing for me sometime,
Yes ma'am, I mean, Miss Judy,
Do you like horses?
- Yes ma'am, I have my own back home,
I mean our other home,
Where's your horse now?
- Well, the owner of the farm where my dad worked,
he wouldn't let us take him,
He's a mean old man,
Sorry, Jesus,
- Well, some people are just plain mean,
And that's for sure,
Tell me about your horse,
He was beautiful,
He's bright red with white spots on his back end,
Mr, Duke said he was an Indian pony, but he was-
Mr, Duke, Who's Mr, Duke?
- That's what everyone calls me, The Duke,
It's um, 'cause I was in a singing group back in college,
- The Duke, That's interesting, [chuckles]
Tell me more about your horse,
You were saying he was an Appaloosa?
- Yes, that's it, He was beautiful,
- You've got plenty of room at your place, right?
[Duke] Sure,
- Well my ranch hand Robert's been wanting
to move his family over to Sarasota,
He's only been staying here to look after my horses for me,
- What are you thinking, Miss Judith?
- Well why not move my horses over to your place?
I'll pay you to board them
and I'll be saving Robert's salary,
- I'm sure Luke would love the extra income
and he's one of the best horseman you'll ever find,
Lemme just call him,
[Judith] I'll let your father
take care of my quarter horses,
I've got one more, and I want you to take care of him,
Come on,
[Duke] Luke,
Yeah, how would you like to get yourself some new horses
and get paid for keeping them?
- It's just like a mini version of my Colonel Sellers,
Colonel Sellers?
Oh, your horse from up north,
A good friend of mine passed away
and left her to me to raise,
Never gave her no name though,
She's beautiful,
Here's what I'm gonna do,
If you promise to take the best care of her
and raise her up right, I'll give her to you,
Oh, I promise, I promise!
Look what Miss Judy gave me,
she looks exactly like a little Colonel Sellers,
Yes she does,
Well I just spoke with Luke
and he's about as excited as Sunshine here,
Said he'd be right over with the trailer,
[Judith] Nonsense,
You've got a hitch on that truck of yours?
Yes ma'am,
- Well, hook up my trailer now and haul 'em over,
I've got a four horse trailer
and I've got four quarter horses,
Yes, ma'am,
- [Aurora] But what about the appaloosa?
- Take it around to the back of the pasture
and you can lead him there,
When you get to the gate, you're in the Mer place then,
You mean the Mackenzie place?
- Oh, I guess you're right there, the Mackenzie place now,
Oh, Miss Judy, Thank you,
[Luke laughing]
Oh man!
Whoo!
Oh man!
Oh, Duke, They're beautiful,
Now we got a horse ranch,
Huh? They got papers too,
And Miss Judith said we could breed them,
Oh!
Is that an appy?
Now I see what you meant about a surprise,
- Spitting image of a small Colonel Sellers,
Oh!
Daddy! Daddy!
She gave him to me, Ms, Judith gave him to me,
- I heard, baby, What's his name?
- Miss Judith said he doesn't have one,
- Then you're gonna have to name him,
- How about something that reminds us where we used to live?
Dakota, I'm calling him Dakota,
That's a great name, baby,
Tell you what, then we have Colonel Sellers
with us all the time,
Come here, Oh!
[uplifting music]
[uplifting music continues]
Not in that first stall son,
That's for our horse,
- Dad, when are we gonna get our horse?
Any day, Son, Any day,
So tell you what, you boys take those horses
and put 'em in any of those stalls that look halfway decent,
All right?
Then tomorrow morning I want you to get those stalls
looking better than any of the ones Longhorn had,
Sure thing, Dad,
- Hey, we're not finished with the fence painting yet,
We don't need any more jobs,
- There's quite a bit of daylight till dinner, Son,
- But- - You know what?
Tom Sawyer got a bunch of his buddies
to help him whitewash a fence,
You know what I'm saying?
We're not Tom Sawyer
and we don't have any friends in this place, remember?
- Well, I have faith you'll think of something,
Luke,
I gotta get going, brother,
Yeah,
Now that's what I like to see,
A young man who doesn't let
anything distract him from his work,
- [Luke] [laughs] You drive safe, brother, Okay?
- I will, - I'll miss you,
Alright,
- Oh, - Oh! [chuckles]
Good thing I used to play football,
Do you have to go?
- Well, Sunshine, somebody's gotta get back up to Nodak
and go and herd on all those horses,
And I've been saving the best news for last,
What? What's the best news?
- Well, the best news is my new job
is right next to the Longhorn's Ranch,
So I get to keep an eye on your Colonel Sellers,
- He didn't sell him? - He did not,
- Oh! [Duke laughs]
This is wonderful,
When I'm down here working with Dakota,
I'll think of you up there with Colonel,
- Yeah, well you make sure you do that around Christmas
when I'm, I'm about knee deep in two feet of snow,
Okay? [Luke laughs]
- You be careful my brother, - All right, brother,
- [Luke] Look who came to say goodbye to you?
- [Duke] You take care young man,
- You too, sir, - All right,
Bye, Sunshine,
- Okay, brother, - Alright,
Aw, it's okay,
[wistful music]
[wistful music continues]
What's wrong with you?
What?
We gotta clean that up too,
What's the use of cleaning the stall,
then cleaning out here too?
Tomorrow's my 18th birthday,
- Uh, did you forget? It's my birthday too,
Just reminding you,
- What's all this other important stuff you gotta do?
Packing,
[Isaac] Packing? For what?
- Brother, come tomorrow, I quit,
I'm 18 and I'm getting outta here,
- What are you talking about? You quit,
Quit what? The family?
Get the man a cigar,
Yes, the family, And this place,
I'm 18 and I'm going home,
Home? This is our home,
- This might be your home, Isaac,
But this isn't mine,
Mom's will said that we all get a share in the estate
and he takes it all,
I'm getting mine,
[Isaac] Are you on drugs?
- Look, we're walking around here
acting like indentured slaves,
And for what? A tiny bedroom in a rundown house,
Sponging off the old lady next door,
You're drunk, That's it,
You snuck into town and got some beer,
Beer? In this religious house,
Hah, I'm as sober as a church mouse,
I'm 18 tomorrow and I'm getting what's coming to me,
- But we need that money to run the stables,
Dad hasn't paid for the thoroughbred yet,
We're getting him this weekend,
Not my problem,
- But- - Look,
I called a lawyer in town and told him the whole situation,
He said I can sue Dad
for my share of the money if I have to,
[sputters] Say what now?
- [Jacob] You ought to do the same,
- But you heard Dad, he's only got about 60 grand left,
And I'm betting a thoroughbred ain't cheap,
Not my problem either,
The way I figured, is mom's insurance was 200 grand
divided four ways, that's you, me, Dad and the squirt,
50 grand each,
Well even if that was so,
What gives you the right to go ahead and take it
ahead of the rest of us?
- [Jacob] The old principle, You snooze, you lose,
No, seriously,
- If you wanna get downright technical, I'm the oldest,
[Isaac] By four or five hours,
There you have it,
You snooze an extra four hours and it turns out you lose,
What? You gonna go tell on me?
- No, I'm gonna let you weasel through this one on your own,
I gotta get some fresh air, It smells in here,
It's probably the horse dung,
No, I don't think so,
Whatever,
- So cake and ice cream, Princess,
Did you peek at the ice cream?
Now I told you I wouldn't,
You didn't get just bubble gum did you?
- No, Bubble gum wouldn't go with red velvet cake,
- Well then hurry up, The suspense is killing me,
So what's up with you guys?
You haven't said two words all night,
Nothing,
Well, you're both 18 now,
Think you're men,
Have the weight of the world on your shoulders,
- We are men, At least in the eyes of the law,
The eyes of the law,
What kind of talk is that?
- Well, my brother's a junior lawyer nowadays,
Oh,
- [Aurora] Ta-daa!
- Did you just get plain vanilla?
- No, it's cream cheese, Like the icing on the cake,
Oh,
Where are you going, Son? It's just ice cream,
It's, it's not the ice cream,
[Luke] Well what then?
- It's this place, It's mom's estate,
Just everything,
- How about we talk after we celebrate your birthday, okay?
- There's no time, 'Cause I'll be gone,
Gone? Where you going?
You going out?
You could say that,
I'm going home,
Catching a flight tomorrow
and I'll be back in Fargo by tomorrow night,
Going home? Son, this is home,
This is it now,
- [sighs] I told him, and I'm telling you,
that this might be your home, but this isn't mine,
Just get my part of mom's estate
and I'll be outta your hair,
- Jacob, what do you mean? Give you your part?
- I don't want to do this, but I can get a lawyer
and make you give me the $50,000,
Mom left it to me and I'm not a minor anymore,
So you have no control over it,
- Son, that's about all the money we have left,
I mean we need that money for the horse
and to run the stables,
- It wasn't your money to begin with,
- Son, this is yours, It's all of yours,
And it's gonna be worth a lot more than $50,000,
Like I said, I want my money,
I want my inheritance from my mother,
I want it now, Not later,
I want my own life,
Not yours all over again,
- Son, sit- - Dad,
Dad just get to the bank in the morning and get me my money,
It's okay, baby,
Here, guys, Let's pray for your brother,
[somber music]
Dear Lord God, please bless this family,
Bless Jacob,
Whatever that way is, help him find his way, Father,
In Jesus name we pray, Amen,
[somber music continues]
- We're getting a bargain on a phenomenal race horse
that could make this ranch and now we can't get him,
I'm sorry, Son,
I have tried everybody and everything I know,
I just cannot raise that money,
- Well we had the money and you gave it away,
- Well, the Bible clearly directs us on inheritance
and we're not gonna turn away from that Bible
just because something makes us a little uncomfortable,
- I'm just saying that Prince Fairfax
should have cost at least twice the 50,000
that Mr, Meyers agreed to,
That's a blessing in and of itself,
- Well, it's not our last blessing,
I know that there's something better in store for us,
God has something better planned for us,
- So now we're sitting here with no money to spend
and we're waiting on a horse we can't buy,
- Well, it's the least we can do,
Talk to the man face to face,
I mean, I tried to reach him all morning on the phone,
I couldn't get him,
[pensive music]
[Luke sighs]
- Hey Miss Aurora, how you doing?
Hi, Mr, Robert,
Do you know where Miss Judith is?
Yep, She went into town,
She'll be back in just a little bit,
I'm waiting for her myself to tell her goodbye,
Are you going someplace?
I thought y'all knew,
I'm moving up to Sarasota,
Why?
- Well, since we put all our quarter horses
over at your stable,
there's not a whole lot for me to do around here,
Oh, I'm sorry,
We're taking good care of them though,
- Oh, I knew you would, Don't you worry about it,
How's that little appy of yours?
- You mean Dakota? He's growing bigger every day,
- Dakota, That's a good name for that horse,
What'd you name your thoroughbred?
- We don't have one, My daddy says we don't have the money,
Hmm,
- I think we don't have enough money
because my dad gave a lot of it
to my brother when he left home,
He did?
Well let me pray about that,
See if we can't work something out,
- Well, I'm going to check on Miss Judith again,
Alright,
- Goodbye, Mr, Robert, - Okay,
Oh, thank you,
Hope you enjoy your soda,
So, my soda?
- You know, like Sarasoda? [giggles]
It's Sarasota,
Alright, we'll see ya,
Bye,
- And tell her I'll be along directly,
[Aurora] Okay,
[guitar strumming]
- [Isaac] Dad, there's Mr, Meyers now,
Okay, [sighs]
[truck rumbling] [pensive music]
Mr, Meyers,
- Call me Phil, I'll call you Luke, Okay?
Sir,
This is my son Isaac,
Look Mr, Meyers, I er,
I've been trying to reach you this morning,
Had some things to talk to you about and er,,,
Darnedest thing,
put my cell phone up on the stall fence this morning,
And after I loaded Prince of Fairfax,
it crashed on the stall floor,
He must have stepped on it,
Oh well, Yes sir,
I um, well I, I called
because I wanted to explain something to you,
Truth is er, we don't have the money to pay for the horse,
- Really? - Yes, sir,
[Phil] What happened?
- Well, my other son, Jacob, he turned 18,
Well, both my sons turned 18
and er, well, he had other plans for his life
and so he just pulled out the business,
[Phil] He had the money?
Well, no, not exactly,
You see my, my late wife left us an insurance settlement
that was supposed to be split between the four of us,
myself, my two sons and my daughter,
And er, I guess Jacob decided he was ready
for his inheritance right now,
- And you gave him the money, The last of the money you had,
Pretty much,
[footsteps crunching]
[birds twittering]
[birds continue twittering]
You do all this yourself?
Yes sir, Me and my brother,
- You paint half of it, you think?
Probably more than half,
Sure looks nice from the road,
First thing I noticed,
He'll be back, Mark my words,
My brother?
- Can see it in your daddy's face,
[birds twittering]
[footsteps crunching]
[Phil sighs]
[lever creaks]
Son, grab that lead, Bring him on out here,
[horse shuffling]
[hooves thudding]
Oh, Oh, it would've been nice,
What?
- To build our stable around him,
He, he's magnificent,
Isaac, load him back up,
Luke, er,,,
What you did with your other son,
That's straight out of the Bible,
I gotta respect that, [gentle music]
Well, thank you, sir,
You know I live that way and I've tried
to teach my children to live that way,
I gotta tell you, it hasn't been easy, you know,
seeing God's plan in all of this, [chuckles] all of this,
- Well, God's plan includes this horse staying right here,
- Um, I'm not sure I understand, sir,
I told you I can't pay, I can't pay for the horse,
- You ever hear of an attitude of gratitude?
Oh yes, sir, We live that way,
And I'll tell you my, my little girl does it best, [laughs]
- Well, sir, I've done a lot of things in my life
and one thing I'm grateful for
is losing everything when I was young,
- [Luke] I'm not sure I understand, Mister-
When I was about 20 years old,
I took what money I had and went to Vegas,
I went big too,
I wasn't satisfied,
I wasn't grateful to just win, I wanted more,
I ended up losing it all,
- [Isaac] How can you be grateful for that?
Well, look at having nothing
forced me to come back home,
Made it the easiest decision I ever made,
Wasn't nothing else to do,
Started working on my daddy's ranch here,
You want to know with what?
Yes, sir,
- A gift horse and a tiny house with a small pasture,
Since then I've raised up dozens of prize-winning horses,
The bloodline from that first horse
is in Prince Fairfax here,
- Mist, Phil, what exactly are you saying here?
- Dad, he's saying that he's giving us the horse,
It's that blessing you were just talking about,
You treated Jacob like it said in the Bible,
And now Mr, Meyers is just doing the same thing,
2 Corinthians 1:4, Right?
- You did raise your children up right, That's exactly it,
I can tell you having an attitude of gratitude
is better than hitting the lottery,
'cause what you get lasts,
Mister, Phil, thank you,
Thank you very much,

- [Luke] You ready for a couple cold drinks?
You want to take a break?
- Just in time, - Thanks, Dad,
- Oh, so you getting along okay out here?
[Isaac] We're doing just fine,
- Well um, we got that other horse,
You're kidding?
Just from our winnings,
- Well not totally, but it's still a good deal,
The Burns Kentucky Ranch is gonna sell us Midnight Stand
and we're gonna make up the difference
by boarding the other three horses they run down here,
- Wow, We're gonna have to build some more stalls,
As a matter of fact,
they're gonna pay us something extra
to train those three horses,
See, it's a good deal for them,
They don't have to haul 'em back
and forth from Kentucky anymore,
If you run outta stalls,
You're not gonna kick Dakota out, are you?
- No, He's the boss of these stables,
I heard him earlier this morning telling the horses
to go to sleep and be quiet and that kind of thing,
Kinda like you do, huh?
Kind of,
And I er, I got some other news too,
I was talking to Duke earlier today
and it seems they've figured out your brother
is with Mr, Longhorn's son B,J, in Las Vegas,
How'd they figure that?
- You remember Mr, Longhorn's son B,J?
- I think he only came around the ranch once,
He wasn't much interested in horses, was he?
Well, funny thing is,
he and your brother were gonna start
their own horse ranch up in North Dakota,
I guess Longhorn was gonna give B,J, a bunch of money
and he got into some legal trouble
and then he sent him out with nothing,
Serves him right,
Wait, they still have the money that you gave Jacob?
- [Luke] Well, you know that really was his money, Son, So,
- You know what? I'm glad he took that,
Now me and Sis here are gonna be wealthy horse breeders
and we're gonna make way more than a 50 grand,
like you said,
Well, hold on,
Your brother's gonna come home one day
and he might bring his wealth with him,
You never know,
I know, He won't,
But just the same,
he's still part of our family, okay?
He's my son, he's your brother and he's always welcome here
and I'll always be here for him,
- He sure didn't act like he wanted any part of this family
and he shouldn't get anything from the ranch,
We built all of that, Me and you,
Hey, Me too,
[laughs] And you,
And I tried to call him again
but he's still not picking up,
- How do you know he even has the same phone still?
- Why don't you just go find him, Daddy?
- That just wouldn't be right, Princess,
He knows where we are,
God will direct him home
when he's supposed to be here,
And when he does, it's our job to welcome him here,
- Yeah, maybe we'll have an opening for a ranch hand,
[Luke chuckles]

Hey kid, how's your luck?
- Lady, the only luck I'm having is bad luck,
Why? What are you down to?
[Jacob] You're looking at it,
[Edie] I've seen worse,
No, really,
If my luck doesn't change
I'll be sleeping in an alley over off Fremont tonight,
- Fremont, What's wrong with Fremont?
I've got a place right over there,
Seven, shooter throws a seven,
Well, There we go,
God, if you're really there, I can use you right now,
- God? You believe in God and you're here,
Do you believe in God?
Of course, He's my savior,
And you're here,
Well, I'm doing his work,
I'm collecting tithes off the winnings
from some of his best sinners,
Any way you look,
shouldn't he have delivered you by now?
Oh he has,
I used to be what you're thinking, but not anymore,
I still have to dress the part though to do my work,
I help run a mission over here in Vegas
and these tithes help support that,
[upbeat music]
Seven, Shooter rolls a seven,
- See those last four chips that just slid away,
Cost me 50 grand, It wasn't too long ago either,
- Okay, God's got something more planned for you,
He's not hearing me,
Please, Leave me alone,
- That's not a problem, I'm done for the evening anyway,
I just have to go cash in my winnings,

And you know what the funny thing is?
He does two shows a day

- [Aurora] Miss Judy isn't she pretty?
- You've certainly kept your half of the bargain,
That's for sure,
- You better tie her off, sweetheart,
It's time to head back toward the house, Princess,
[Aurora] Okay,
[Judith sighs]
[Luke sighs]
Well, Miss Judith,
I don't know how to say thanks for all you've done for us,
I gotta tell you, that horse, that's really helped her,
And how did you know that we had a horse
just like that up north,
I didn't, He did,
He always knows what's needed,
That's right,
- Look, those four quarter horses I have
of mine over at your place,
Yes ma'am,
- Well, I don't wanna board them any longer,
- Miss Judith, you don't have to worry
about the boarding fees,
We're gonna take care of those horses for free,
That's the least I can-
- You younger generation never listen to what's being said,
I said I don't want,
I didn't say I couldn't afford to board them,
I'm doing just fine,
- I'm sorry, I just don't understand,
I sold my place here,
Some housing developer is going to cut the place up
into gentleman's estates,
And,,,
- [laughs] There's going to be a lot of city dudes
coming down here, acting like ranchers,
- Well, what are you gonna do? I mean,
- I'm moving into a condo in Sorento,
right across the highway from those two large horse farms,
So I'm gonna feel at home without any of the hassles,
Well, what about your horses?
What you gonna do with them?
- I swear you would think you were getting old
and hard of hearing,
I'm going to give them to you and your family,
There's one for each of you,
- Miss Judith, I, I can't, I can't accept that,
[Aurora] Daddy, I'm ready,
Okay, Princess,
- You've still got those two young strong sons
of yours helping you, don't you?
- Well, yeah, my son Isaac is still around,
You know he's gonna own the place one day,
And the other one?
Ah, Jacob,
Well, Jacob took off as soon as he turned 18
and I haven't seen or heard from him in about eight months,
- And you didn't go and look for him?
- No ma'am, I have not, Would'n't be right,
Ah, Just like in the Bible,
You stay on the wall, Son,
He'll be back,
I know he will,
And I'm gonna be right here waiting for him
when he comes back,
