00:00the truth. What's going on? The cancer gets spread to my pancreas. It's terminal. So what do we do
00:11now? Radiation, possibly chemotherapy. No, I won't be doing any of that. Dad, what are you talking
00:19about? I'm not going to spend the little time that I had left in a hospital being poked and prodded
00:27by doctors. Let's go. So you're not getting any treatment? We all got to go sometime, son.
00:35The only difference with me is I get to choose when and I get to choose how. Mom,
00:41are you okay with this? It's not my decision to make, Cal.
00:46Marissa, I'm tired. I need to go to bed. Okay. Can we talk about this, please? Let's just enjoy
00:53the time we have together and not ruin this visit by talking about things that we can't change.
01:08I'm so sorry, Cal.
01:12I can't believe they kept this from me.
01:23Is this as good as it's gonna get? I've given all I can give, but the rivers still get wider, wider. We've been here all along, through the valleys we carry on. The journey takes us higher, higher.
01:46Let's give me a home, let me try to build it. Let's give me a life that's one in a million. All the hard times, yeah, they were worth it. Time and time and time again.
02:03Time and time and time again.
02:06What's this? For me? Picked them on the way over. Thought it might help brighten this place up.
02:21Are you feeling okay, Sully? Yeah, great. Why? You've just never brought me flowers before.
02:27Well, this is the first time for everything. You hear from Maggie yet? Just to let me know that
02:33you arrived safely. I hope everything's going okay. Yeah, me too. Frank in the garden? No, he's
02:42home with Jacob. He'll be in later. Well, I'm gonna head over to Helen's and finish up those repairs. Thought
02:48she might like some coffee. Are you sure you're feeling all right? What, a person can't bring
02:52someone coffee without getting the third degree. What's so funny? Nothing. Okay.
03:14Hey, sorry. I didn't mean to wake you. Oh, that's okay.
03:18Hey. You get any sleep last night? She can't stop thinking about my dad. Yeah. Maybe if I'd have come home sooner.
03:34You're here now. Yeah, just need some fresh air, so.
03:41I'm sorry, Cal. I wish there was something I could do. I know.
03:48Oh, hi there. I didn't expect to see you today. Thought I'd finish those repairs you wanted.
04:14Figured I'd save you a trip to the outpost. Oh, well, that's very nice of you. Thanks.
04:21Can I come in? Yes, of course.
04:26You have no idea how much I appreciate this. I was on a roll last night.
04:31Stayed up pretty late working. So, I guess you got over your writer's block. Yes.
04:37Our trip to the boardwalk really inspired me. Yeah, I'm glad. Well, I'll try and stay out of your hair, and you know, I'll be as quiet as a mouse. You won't even know I'm here. Okay?
04:58Squeaky door, huh? Which door is it? Back door.
05:07You weren't kidding when you said it was squeaky.
05:20And you know, I finally got a chance to finish reading your book. Really?
05:27I'm glad to hear that. And? And I really liked it. I'm dying to know if these two get together.
05:35Well, I guess you're just going to have to wait for me to finish the book. Right.
05:42Does this mean you've changed your mind about romance? Oh, I need to get back to fixing this thing.
06:04Here you go. Jacob, good morning. Hey, good morning.
06:18Brought Jacob by to grab some breakfast before he gets to work. Oh, that's a good idea. What can I
06:23get you? I'd love some scrambled eggs and bacon if it's no trouble. Coming right up. Thanks.
06:29So, do you have a nice time in Lunenburg with Lola? We did. Wonderful. Is she coming in today?
06:38I'm not sure. Why? I thought she might want to come help me collect some lichen samples.
06:42Well, if you're looking for company, no one knows their way around these woods better than Frank.
06:48Jacob doesn't want me slowing him down. Actually, it'd be nice to have an extra pair of hands if
06:52you're offering. We haven't had a lot of time to talk since I got here. Okay, I'll go change my
06:58shoes. Here, sit. I am really glad you're here. Me too.
07:18Good morning. Morning.
07:20Calmed that up yet? He went for a walk. He just needed a little space.
07:28I guess he's still upset.
07:37Do you think Jed's making the right decision, not accepting treatment?
07:40I could buy him some time, but to be honest, I don't know how much.
07:52I didn't believe the doctors at first when they told us. Jed seemed fine.
07:58Pancreatic cancer is easy to miss, but there aren't a lot of symptoms.
08:05I'm worried about Cal. Yeah, me too. This is going to be hard on him.
08:16He's been angry with his father for so long.
08:24What did he tell you about Jed?
08:27Just that life with him was difficult. He could be unpredictable.
08:35Managing Jed's condition with four kids was hard. I relied on Cal for help.
08:45He grew up fast. Carried more on his shoulders than any child should have to.
08:54I don't think he ever forgave Jed for not being the father he needed.
09:00What about the others?
09:04Well, it was different for them. I mean, they had Cal to lean on.
09:07What about the others?
09:11Well, it was different for them. I mean, they had Cal to lean on.
09:16He was there for them. I don't want you thinking it was all bad.
09:22I mean, we had plenty of good days together too. I just wish Cal could remember that.
09:28Hey, you ready? Made an appointment with another realtor.
09:41We've already looked at everything available.
09:44What are you doing?
09:46Looking to see if anybody's hiring a chef. That seems to be a dead end too.
09:52I think I'm gonna have to move somewhere with more options.
09:56Like leave Timberlake? But you can't just move. This is your home. Your friends are here.
10:05What other choice do I have?
10:25I know what's best for this family. We can't keep doing this.
10:47The kids need stability. I want us to have a proper home.
10:51Hey, chopped enough firewood for a month.
10:58Blowing off some steam.
11:01I can see that.
11:05Maybe talking would help.
11:08Honestly, I don't really know what I'm feeling right now.
11:12Why don't we get out of here? Get a little distance from all this.
11:17Where do you want to go?
11:19I think I know a place might help give you a little perspective.
11:27I appreciate this, Maggie. I do, but I really don't know if I'm up for a balloon ride right now.
11:32Trust me. I've been once and it is, it's amazing. There's something about it that's
11:37Trust me, I've been once and it is, it's amazing.
11:41There's something comforting about looking at the world from way up there.
11:47Hi.
11:48Hi, do you have a booking?
11:49Uh, yeah, I called ahead. Maggie Sullivan.
11:51I've got you here. Get with me.
11:56Come on, I'll get you out of your head.
12:07Nice work today, everyone. How's that schedule coming along, Rafe?
12:20Left it on your desk.
12:21How about those incident reports?
12:24I figured I'd get to them tomorrow.
12:26Rules say they need to be submitted within 24 hours, Rafe.
12:29Yeah, we always get them done by the end of the week.
12:33You know, I'm getting the impression that Connie let a lot of things slide around here.
12:37That's not true.
12:38Well, in any case, I'm running things now and I want them done by the book.
12:43That means I expect those reports on my desk before you go today.
12:48Copy that.
12:58How about this one?
13:00That is Parmelia silcata.
13:04Cracked shield lichen.
13:06It lives on deciduous trees.
13:09It's a lot more sturdy than some of the other species out here.
13:11How long have you been interested in this stuff?
13:16I cook and practice traditional medicine.
13:19I should actually help use it to treat my diabetes.
13:22Why Nova Scotia?
13:24To be honest, I was hoping I'd get to know you and Edna a little better.
13:30We didn't really get to spend a lot of time together when he came to the res.
13:35And I'm sorry about that.
13:37I'm just glad you and my father were able to work things out.
13:40Me too.
13:42They actually wanted me to let you know that he'd love to see you again.
13:46Let him know I'd like that too.
13:49You ever think about moving back?
13:50It's crossed my mind from time to time.
13:53Just know you're always welcome whenever you're ready.
13:57I could say thank you.
14:10Smells good.
14:12I'm not done with those yet.
14:13I'm hungry from having to finish all those repairs I'm doing at Helen's.
14:17Are they going to be ready by the time you get back?
14:20Are they finished?
14:21No, I'm gonna head back over there tomorrow.
14:24Sure is taking a long time.
14:26Well, it takes as long as it takes.
14:31Morning, Edna.
14:32Sally.
14:33Hey, Sydney.
14:35Hey.
14:36Thought I'd stop by and see if you needed a hand with anything.
14:40Perfect timing.
14:41These need frosting.
14:42Sure.
14:43I'm sorry to hear that Rob lost his new diner space.
14:46Yeah.
14:47We've been trying to find another location, but no luck.
14:52I'm starting to get a little worried.
14:54Why?
14:56Because Rob's talking about moving.
14:57Moving?
14:58Where?
14:59Somewhere he can find work as a chef.
15:01No, no, no.
15:02We can't let that happen.
15:03There's got to be something we can do.
15:04I'm not sure there's anything to do,
15:06unless you happen to know of a location we haven't looked at yet.
15:10I think I might have an idea.
15:11Yeah?
15:24So peaceful.
15:27It's like we're disconnected from everything that's going on down there.
15:41You know, seeing the world from way up here helps remind me that I'm not the only one in the world with problems.
16:04I know things between you and your father haven't been good for a long time.
16:12But I think if you want to, you could fix it.
16:16I don't think that's possible.
16:22Well, whatever you decide, I just...
16:27I want you to know that I'll be here to help you get through it.
16:29It means a lot.
16:38Thank you for doing this for me.
16:41Ooh.
16:46Ooh.
16:53Well, my great-great-grandfather built this place as a social hall.
16:59Used to hold Scottish Kayleys here.
17:06Yeah, it's been sitting empty for years.
17:07Always meant to fix it up one day.
17:10Put it to good use, but I just never got around to it.
17:18This place is huge.
17:21So what do you think?
17:25This place is incredible.
17:29I can't accept this, Sully.
17:30Why not?
17:32I still owe you the money you gave me and Sarah when we opened the diner.
17:35That was a gift, all right?
17:36You'd be doing me a big favor by taking it off my hands.
17:39How so?
17:41Well, uh...
17:43All right, Glenn bought some land next to the crossing.
17:46Tell me you're joking.
17:48He's developing a fancy resort on it.
17:51Oh.
17:52So we're gonna need all the help we can get.
17:54Having a restaurant with a talented chef on location is gonna draw a lot of people to us.
18:02It'll need a little TLC, but it really is perfect, Rob.
18:08So we got a deal?
18:10Haha, Sully.
18:12We got a deal.
18:13All right.
18:26Cal, can we talk?
18:29Why don't I go wash up and check on Jet?
18:40You should have told me, Mom.
18:43I wanted to.
18:45Your father made me promise not to say anything.
18:47I'm sorry.
18:49I thought maybe things had changed.
18:52Clearly, they haven't.
18:54You're always letting him tell you what to do.
18:57You're putting him first.
19:00Is that really how you felt?
19:04We were just kids.
19:06We needed you, too.
19:08But what about us?
19:10Mom.
19:12I wanted you to have a father in your life, Cal.
19:15Even if that meant having one that wasn't perfect.
19:20He loved you.
19:22Did you really want me to turn my back on him when he needed us?
19:26I know I wasn't there for you the way I should have been.
19:29And I will never be able to forgive myself for that, but I...
19:35I did everything I could.
19:39And I wish your father hadn't been sick.
19:42And I wish things could have been different for all of us.
19:46I'm sorry.
19:50I never thought about how hard it was for you, too.
19:55The person it's hardest on is your father.
19:59Remember that.
20:10How are you feeling?
20:14A bit better.
20:16Glad to hear it.
20:19Come sit with me.
20:26I'm really happy that I got a chance to meet you, Maggie.
20:30Me, too.
20:32Marissa and I, we worry about Cal.
20:37Losing Lynn.
20:39That was hard for him.
20:42We weren't sure if he'd be able to find his way back from that.
20:48But now he's got you.
20:51And I'm grateful.
20:54And I can leave this world knowing he's gonna be okay.
21:03It really broke my heart, you know, when he moved away.
21:09And I never understood why he did that.
21:15Until now.
21:17And it just tears me up knowing that I'm the reason that he's gonna carry around all that anger for the rest of his life.
21:27I always hoped one day we'd get a chance to just talk things out.
21:38That he would forgive me.
21:43But I don't think that's gonna happen now.
21:48Maybe it's not too late.
21:52No, I think Cal's made it pretty clear how he feels.
21:58I'm a little tired.
22:00I think I'm gonna go lay down.
22:08No way.
22:11What is it?
22:12It's boreal felt.
22:14It's a rare species of lichen.
22:16I can't believe this.
22:20Something wrong?
22:25Can you see this black spot here?
22:26I think I might be dying.
22:29What is that?
22:31It's a black spot.
22:34It's a black spot.
22:35It's a black spot.
22:36It's a black spot.
22:37What is that?
22:38This particular lichen is sensitive to environmental toxins.
22:43Environmental toxins, huh?
22:46Follow me.
22:54Like the kind you get from nearby construction?
23:08Hey.
23:09Things go okay with your mother?
23:11Yeah.
23:14Had a good chat.
23:16Cleared the air.
23:18I'm glad.
23:20Yeah.
23:22What about Jed?
23:23You haven't talked to him too?
23:25I can't, yeah.
23:28You know, I don't want to say anything else I'll regret.
23:31He really wants to make things right with you, Cal.
23:34I think it's a little late for that, don't you, Maggie?
23:37No.
23:39This is your chance, right?
23:42To tell him how you feel and to hear what he has to say.
23:45Look, if you can't do it for yourself, can you maybe do it for him?
23:51Now he's finally decided to take his medication.
23:56Now he wants to talk.
23:59What about all those years ago when I needed him?
24:03I know.
24:04I get it.
24:05I do. That's how I felt.
24:07About Sully until I heard his side of the story.
24:13Don't you think you at least owe it to him to just let him explain?
24:20I don't think I can.
24:22Why not?
24:27I can't say goodbye.
24:32I did it with Lynn.
24:34And, uh, it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
24:50I don't think I can do that again.
24:57I know this isn't easy, Cal.
25:01I'm just worried that if you don't do this,
25:03that you're going to regret it.
25:34Can I sit with him for a little bit?
25:39That'd be nice.
25:55Remember, he loves you.
26:34Hey, you can't sleep?
26:35I heard a noise.
26:37I think it was a monster.
26:38You think it was a monster?
26:40Oh, no.
26:41Okay, those monsters.
26:44Any monster comes near you, they're going to have to go through me first.
26:49So I'm going to roar those monsters away.
26:52How about I give you a piggyback ride back to bed?
26:55Hop on, California.
26:58Get it up, California.
26:59Hop on, California.
27:03Giddy up.
27:04Here we go.
27:07Can you howl?
27:08Howl?
27:11Let's roar those monsters away.
27:23You're back.
27:24How'd it go?
27:25We found some rare lichen, but it looks like something's killing it off.
27:29Really?
27:30And Jacob thinks that it might be coming from the new development.
27:34You mean Glenn's construction site?
27:36So what?
27:38Wow.
27:39That might be what we need to shut him down.
27:41You can't go around accusing people without evidence.
27:44We have evidence.
27:48What's that?
27:50A sample of the dying lichen.
27:51I'll get it tested, see if there's any signs of toxic chemicals.
27:55How long will that take?
27:56Probably a few weeks.
27:58If he's using something toxic, we have to shut him down now.
28:03Let's go talk to somebody at the Nova Scotia Environmental Agency.
28:07Maybe we should think about this first.
28:10Come on, let's show them what you've got.
28:25Thank you for being here for Cal.
28:27I can see how much it means to him.
28:31I understand what it's like to be estranged from your father.
28:34I didn't see mine for a very long time.
28:38You understand how he feels?
28:40I do.
28:43But I also know what it feels like to
28:46finally let go of all that hurt you carry around inside you.
28:50And I want Cal to be able to do that.
28:54I can tell you love my son very much.
28:58I do.
29:02When I first met Jed, I was hitchhiking across Colorado.
29:08Jed picked me up.
29:11Things were good at the beginning.
29:14But then he started developing symptoms and
29:18complaining that the world had lost its color.
29:21Eventually, things got worse.
29:24Doctors prescribed pills.
29:26But Jed didn't like the way they made him feel, so
29:29he decided to manage his condition through diet, meditation.
29:34And that worked.
29:36A lot of the time.
29:40I know my husband isn't perfect.
29:44But he always tried to be the best dad he could be.
29:47But he always tried to be the best dad he could be.
29:51Despite his condition.
29:55I can't imagine how difficult that must have been for you.
30:01It is surprising what you learn to live with when you love someone.
30:10I spent my entire life taking care of Jed.
30:17He's been my world.
30:20My everything.
30:22I don't know what I'm going to do when he's...
30:28You are always welcome to stay with us at the crossing.
30:33Thank you, Maggie.
30:35I appreciate that.
30:47I want things to run smoothly around here, too.
30:51I know I need to make a change.
30:53So we understand each other better.
30:55Yes.
30:56But if it's all right, I'd like this to stay between us.
30:58I don't want the other firefighters catching wind of it.
31:00No problem.
31:10How long have you been sitting there?
31:12Not long.
31:17I was just remembering when we all used to sleep in that old tiny tent together.
31:28You were afraid of the dark.
31:30Wouldn't go to bed until I checked for monsters.
31:34You said you'd protect me.
31:40I tried.
31:43But you didn't take the pills.
31:47We needed you.
31:51I needed you.
31:54And you weren't there for us.
31:57The medication, it was so strong back then.
32:02It had a lot of side effects.
32:07It just left me feeling numb.
32:11Just disconnected from the world.
32:13And from you kids.
32:17I'm not going to be a good father if I was on them.
32:22You spent my childhood walking on eggshells, Dad.
32:25I know, I know.
32:26I'm sorry, Cal.
32:28I wish things could have been different.
32:32I thought I made the right choice.
32:37That what I was doing was best for my family.
32:40Maybe I was wrong.
32:43Maybe you would have been better off without me.
32:55You know,
33:00I don't think I've ever understood
33:03till right now
33:06that I'm not the father.
33:10You know, the monster you were always so afraid of
33:18was me.
33:22I guess I wasn't the only one running from monsters, was I, Dad?
33:29It's a hard thing to live your whole life being just so scared of losing yourself.
33:35But you end up driving people that you love away.
33:47Oh, Dad.
33:59I'm so, so sorry.
34:03I didn't understand.
34:21What smells so good?
34:22Your father's favorite.
34:24Uh, roast beef and mashed potatoes.
34:29How'd it go with Janet?
34:31You were right.
34:33I needed to hear him out.
34:35I just wish I would have done that years ago.
34:39Thank you for pushing me.
34:41Yeah.
34:48Just happy I could help.
34:54Hi.
34:54Uh, can I just sit at the table?
35:00Mom?
35:01Yes?
35:03I shouldn't have judged you.
35:06I am just so happy that you finally had a chance to talk me through your father.
35:11I do.
35:16I love you, Mom.
35:20I love you too, California.
35:30You're back.
35:31That went well.
35:34What happened at the NSCA?
35:36They took one look at Jacob's rare lichen, and they were all over it.
35:41They're going to send the inspector to pick him on a visit first thing in the morning.
35:44Frank and I can't wait to see the look on his face.
35:49You two are going?
35:50Wouldn't miss it for the world.
35:53I think poking a hornet's nest is a mistake.
35:55Ah, you worry too much.
35:58I hope you're right.
36:00I hope you're right.
36:11Sorry, I was too hungry to wait.
36:13But there's a bowl for you in the oven.
36:15It should still be warm.
36:17Well, I'm glad you're home.
36:19I've got some good news.
36:23Oh, yeah?
36:23Yeah.
36:30Turns out there's an old lodge that's just been sitting empty at the crossing for years.
36:34And guess what?
36:36What?
36:36Sully just offered it to Rob to use as his restaurant.
36:41Did you even hear what I said?
36:44Yeah, Sully gave Rob his old lodge.
36:47You don't seem that excited.
36:50Thank God, not on my mind.
36:52Cooper's still giving you a hard time.
36:54Yeah.
36:56Look, I'm sorry, Rafe.
36:58I didn't mean to get you into trouble.
37:01It is what it is, Sydney.
37:04I'm just gonna have to deal with it.
37:13Here we go.
37:17This looks delicious.
37:19Favorite.
37:22Okay.
37:24I want to tell you how grateful I am you're here.
37:29And how happy it makes me that you found each other.
37:34Because I know it's a really hard thing to come by.
37:40You know, I've always lived my life on my own terms.
37:45And I intend to continue doing that with the time I have left.
37:49Okay.
37:51Your mother and I, we talked it over.
37:55And we would like to take one last adventure together.
37:59Hmm.
37:59We're gonna drive the old bus to the Grand Canyon.
38:11That's a great idea.
38:13Yeah.
38:19Okay.
38:28So I took a look around.
38:40Nothing appears to be out of the ordinary here.
38:42Glad to hear.
38:43It had me a little worried there.
38:45My father's a contractor.
38:46Does a lot of business with the government.
38:48And he would kill me if I did anything to damage his reputation.
38:52I apologize for the inconvenience.
38:54But certainly appreciate your cooperation.
38:56Anytime.
38:59You crossed the line this time, Sully.
39:03If I were you, I'd watch my back from now on.
39:07Is that a threat?
39:09No, that's not a threat.
39:12It's a promise.
39:17Have a great day.
39:25I think that's everything.
39:27Just the food.
39:29You sure you want me to come with?
39:31You've got your own life to worry about.
39:34Now, Cal, don't worry.
39:35I will take very good care of your father.
39:39You'll keep in touch?
39:41Let us know how he's doing?
39:42Of course.
39:49Just remember how much I love you, Cal.
39:51I love you too, Mom.
39:58I said I was going to come get you.
40:01I told you, I told you.
40:02I don't want you fussing over me.
40:06Why don't I help you in the kitchen with that cooler?
40:10I'd appreciate that.
40:18I just want to tell you how proud I am of the man that you have become.
40:24Thanks, Dad.
40:25Maggie, she's a smart woman with a good heart.
40:30I hope you hang on to her.
40:32I'm planning on it.
40:35I'm just really glad that we had this time together.
40:39Me too.
40:41Cal, I wanted to say, I know I wasn't the easiest person to live with.
40:50But I just hope that one day he'll be able to look back and just
40:56just remember the good times.
40:59Maybe share some stories about your old man with your kids, yeah?
41:08You can count on that.
41:13Make sure you live your life to the fullest because you only get one shot.
41:18But if you do things right, it's a hell of a ride.
41:25Hmm.
41:38We had some fun times in this whole thing, didn't we?
41:41We sure did.
41:46I love you, Dad.
41:48I love you too, son.
41:52I love you too.
41:55Okay, we better get going.
42:16This is just a little something.
42:19And, uh, why not open it after we're gone?
42:21Okay.
42:45Give you a minute?
42:48Thanks.
42:51Oh,
43:21uh,
