00:00This is straight up blackmail.
00:02It's really important to Melissa that we're all in a good place.
00:06I know a lot of deep pocket people who could help you get your car business off the ground.
00:10Connor was right about you. He said you made me a lot of money.
00:12Guys, right now, we gotta get this out of here.
00:16What have we done?
00:25I like to tell my customers that gardening isn't just about planting seeds.
00:30Nature is full of surprises.
00:34A flower isn't always just a flower.
00:40One sunflower is actually made up of thousands of tiny flowers held together on a single stalk.
00:49Dirt isn't just a layer of earth.
00:52It has more organisms in one teaspoon than there are people on the planet.
01:00And those plants in your garden aren't just sitting there quietly.
01:03What?
01:04They're busy talking to each other through an underground network of fungi and bacteria.
01:10Wait, slow down.
01:15So, anyone can garden.
01:17How can we help?
01:19This cannot be happening.
01:21It's way too early.
01:23The cup's in a month.
01:25But to keep one alive, you have to expect the unexpected.
01:35Medium low, everyone. Keep the air slow and steady.
01:37It's gonna be fine.
01:39What makes you so sure?
01:40Because I keep my weed in the freezer and that's how I know it's gonna be fine.
01:43Medium low, everyone. Keep the air slow and steady.
01:45It's gonna be fine.
01:47What makes you so sure?
01:49Because I keep my weed in the freezer and that stays fresh.
01:51Not how it works.
01:53We're just looking for a little volume, people, not a stick straight blowout.
01:57How are the marigolds?
01:59They're on life support.
02:01That's where Marilyn's gonna be.
02:03Only if we tell her.
02:05Well, she's definitely gonna know.
02:07How?
02:09She's in Frankenmuth buying garden flair.
02:11End call.
02:13Donna, now!
02:15Get off!
02:21Okay, now we just have to survive the fall.
02:23Mother Nature's not winning this round.
02:25Not on my watch.
02:33Donna! Flip the switch!
02:35What doesn't kill this garden only makes it stronger, people!

18:02Because he thinks he's actually selling them but technically he is at your expense I
18:09Will
18:11Deal with my own life later. Yeah, that's what I told myself when I put Melissa through law school. No, it's it's not the same
18:16Oh, then what's in it for you?
18:19Never having to see the look on his face if he found out
18:33I'm gonna redo the entire interior all leather put in rally gauges get rid of the drum brakes put in disc
18:41Like cover it
18:46Yeah, and then some I'll consider the rest in advance you really don't have to do that actually I do
18:53What do you mean? I just do a little housekeeping. You know what I mean? I

19:48so from time to time I
19:51Inflate a little in one
19:54Put it in the other
19:57So so I've been laundering money for you, that's why I always take care of my partners
20:06We could get a lot of trouble don't worry right Connor will fix it never done more than 30 days

25:43Okay?
25:44It would have been nice to hear it from you.
25:46See, that's exactly why I didn't tell you.
25:48To embarrass me in front of half the town?
25:50Because I knew you would make it all about you.
25:52God forbid you would ever think to ask about how I feel.
25:55What about your family?
25:57Or how unhappy I must have been.
26:01I just don't want you to end up alone.
26:03You know who's going to end up alone?

26:22Home.
26:46Don't bother.
26:47But it's really good cake.
26:52You know, the worst part is, I actually believed it was real.
27:07I could not hate myself more.
27:10Why did my mom light this fire?
27:12I let it burn.
27:14Yeah.
27:16Why?
27:18You're so happy.
27:25I wanted to believe it was real, too.
27:45You know it is real.
27:47What?
27:51Being the regional director at the sign company.
28:01Hey, Connor!
28:03Open up!
28:04Jesus, Brett.
28:05Tell your husband to get his ass out here.
28:06Okay, will you keep your voice down?
28:07Get that lame-ass dick down here now!
28:09What's wrong with you?
28:10The investor he introduced me to is like a career criminal.
28:13Yeah, why would he do that?
28:15He's trying to make me take the fall for his shady client.
28:18Everything okay?
28:19Oh, yeah.
28:20Look who's here.
28:21Mel, are you good?
28:22No!
28:23She's not, Connor.
28:24Because I'm about to explain to her how she married a total crook.
28:27You know what, Brett?
28:28Enough.
28:29Okay, fine.
28:30Explain yourself, then.
28:31Explain what?
28:32Why you feel the need to torture people like me.
28:37I'd like you to leave.
28:38I'd like you to leave.
28:39You're on my property, pal.
28:40Why don't you come make me, pal?
28:43Hey, no.
28:44Stop.

28:47No, stop.
28:48That's enough.
28:49Come on.
28:50Snap my wrist, you happy?
28:51You don't get to just do this, you hear me?
28:53It's over!
28:54You're done!
28:56I am going to end you!
29:05Hold up.
29:14Good morning.
29:29What's the prognosis?
29:31Looks stable.
29:32Color's coming back.
29:33I think she's going to pull through.
29:36Soil's good to go.
29:37Let's get our garden on.
29:42Where is everyone?
29:44It's just us today.
29:47Why?
29:51Nobody wanted to come.
29:54Are they tired?
29:56Sort of.
29:57Like they're sick?
29:58Kinda.
29:59They're all sick.
30:02Of you, okay?
30:06Sorry, sweetie.
30:09What did I do?
30:10I don't know.
30:12You just pushed him a little too hard.
30:24Another low and away.
30:32You sure this kid's not 25?
30:34You think he should be on the team?
30:36Which one?
30:37His high school.
30:38No.
30:40But he needs it for college.
30:42No, not with an arm like that.
30:43He doesn't.
30:45What do you mean?
30:46He could go straight to the pros.
30:55Am I doing okay?
30:57You're doing great.
31:10Hello?
31:11Mom?
31:40Mom?
31:46Mom?
31:50Mom, are you here?
32:01Mom?
32:07Hey.
32:10Where's Daddy?
32:13He left.
32:15When's he coming back?
32:18Never.
32:29Why didn't you say anything?
32:31It's embarrassing.
32:32Mommy.
32:34And you were dealing with enough.
32:35I should have asked if you were unhappy.
32:38Not your job, baby.
32:42But you gave him a perfect life for 40 years.
32:48It just wasn't the one he wanted.
32:50It just wasn't the one he wanted.
33:04I think I can be a lot.
33:07If you were any less, you wouldn't be my mom.
33:13I'm in a lot of trouble.
33:15How can I help?
33:16Well, I heard you guys were the best with government tax stuff.
33:23My grandfather started this firm a million years ago, so I just try not to mess it up.
33:28Well, he definitely wouldn't be too happy with my situation.
33:33What do you mean, Brett?
33:35One of your partners is the reason I'm in trouble.
33:41Which one?
33:43If nothing else, we pride ourselves on integrity, Connor.
34:00Tell Gramps I can't wait to sue this firm.
34:03Just be thankful you're not being disbarred.
34:08This was a giant mistake, Patrick.
34:10A giant mistake, Patrick.
34:17The stake was hiring you.
34:38Hey, creeper.
34:40Is it cool that I'm here?
34:41Yeah.
34:43You want a drink?
34:44For real?
34:46Like a juice box or something?
34:49You have juice boxes.
34:54What's going on?
34:55So, I was reading your book.
34:58Really?
35:00What did you think?
35:02Some parts weren't boring.
35:04You're not exactly the demo, okay?
35:07I didn't know you were from Grand Rapids.
35:10Couldn't wait to leave.
35:12Yeah, well, I can't imagine.
35:14You had a ton of pregnant friends in high school.
35:16I still got voted prom queen.
35:19Yeah, right.
35:20With your boyfriend.
35:21Someone made it to chapter five.
35:24Captain of the baseball team.
35:29Was he?
35:31I just remember him being kind of hot.
35:34Is he the one who knocked you up?
35:37Why does it matter?
35:38Well, it just explained a lot.
35:41Like what?
35:43Like why you came out of nowhere,
35:45giving me a scholarship I didn't deserve.
35:48We've been over this.
35:49And then the tutors and the coaching.
35:51You're an investment.
35:56I think I'm more than that.
36:01Coach wanted to see my birth certificate
36:03to prove my age.
36:05Okay.
36:07I was born in Grand Rapids, too.
36:13Why are you showing me this?
36:15Because my mom always told me this story
36:18about how she was on a road trip
36:20when she went into labor with me
36:22and it just never made any sense.
36:26Maybe you should ask her about it again.
36:28Maybe you should ask her about it again.
36:42I guess Coach was wrong about my arm.
36:45Come on.
36:47A pro like him knows God-given talent
36:49when he sees it.
36:54Not God.
36:58Genetics.
37:15What is with cleaning ladies
37:17and spatial relations?
37:21We've had three in the past year.
37:23None of them have been able
37:25to get this tray to stick right.
37:28How are you so fine
37:30with what happened the other night?
37:32What do you mean?
37:34I mean, Brett was, like, unhinged.
37:36That surprises you?
37:39This is the same dude
37:41who threw a tantrum over his kid's family tree.
37:43Yeah, but this was, like, next level.
37:46Look, if it were me,
37:48he's not a guy I want around my kids.
37:50And I know it's not my place.
37:52Come on.
37:54Brett's a good dad.
37:56Just glad the kids weren't home to see it.
37:58Do you think that there's any chance
38:00that this client of yours
38:02could be doing something shady?
38:06As far as I know,
38:08Steve's just a baller business guy
38:10who does what business guys do.
38:12But I just don't think...
38:14Sorry for trying to help.
38:16You did a nice thing.
38:17You did a nice thing.
38:28The first frost is only surprising
38:30when your garden's not prepared.
38:47So we add things like straw and bark
38:49to shield plants from dropping temperatures.
38:57We wrap shrubs in burlap
38:59to protect against drying winds.
39:04So,
39:06what am I supposed to do here?
39:08I don't know.
39:10I don't know.
39:12I don't know.
39:14I don't know.
39:15What am I supposed to do here?
39:17Fix her up
39:19and sell her for an obscene amount of cash.
39:21Now that's more like it.
39:26But it won't be with me.
39:45But no matter what you do
39:47to get ahead of it,
39:49winter always comes.
39:51Sorry,
39:52closing early today.
39:56It'll be quick.
39:59Uh,
40:00what do you need?
40:02I have a problem.
40:05All right.
40:07There's this
40:09thing
40:11that I've been wanting
40:13to tell you.
40:15It's a stump
40:17in my yard.
40:19Well, can it wait?
40:20I need to get out of here.
40:22I've been trying to get rid of it for years.
40:24Aren't you guys going to the gala tonight, too?
40:26Yeah, I thought it would just
40:28rot away, but
40:30it's still there.
40:32Well, uh,
40:34stumps don't really do that.
40:36Yeah, I need a gun
40:38for good.
40:45This should get it done.
40:55I ought to give it to you, man.
40:58Really underestimated you.
41:00You got fired today.
41:02Just bring back the axe
41:03when you're done.
41:05Ah,
41:07I'm sorry.
41:09I'm sorry.
41:10I'm sorry.
41:12I'm sorry.
41:14Ah.
41:21What's up?
41:23I think we probably both know what's up.
