[00:21:29]Is that a backhanded compliment?

[00:21:30]>> No, it's just a statement.

[00:21:32]You're ambitious.

[00:21:34]Aren't you the one who always encouraged us to go out in the world and make something of our lives?

[00:21:38]Instead of sitting around with a husband who's always gone doing who the hell knows what.

[00:21:50]Jesus, Sarah.

[00:21:52]The only thing I came here to say I guarantee you she won't hear. Well, you're the lawyer. Ever think of the way you're saying it? Come on, Lily. Don't give me grief, too. I can't handle it from both of you.

[00:22:53]Every week that girl plays groupie to the band.

[00:22:56]Everybody knows her name, huh?

[00:22:59]I'd trip over and cry. Not only were kids, you would have knocked out the lights there and stole the microphone.

[00:28:18]Ray did want us to celebrate. Ray did.

[00:31:07]Anything I can do? No, it's been great seeing you, but my flight takes off in a few hours.

[00:31:14]Sarah!

[00:31:16]Sarah!

[00:31:17]You can't leave. I have a huge case.

[00:31:20]You can't abandon me with this. Come on, Lilly.

[00:31:24]Give me those keys. Can't you think about someone other than yourself for 1 minute?

[00:31:28]>> Damn it, Lilly.

[00:31:29]I have to go.

[00:31:30]>> Fine. You should run away again. You're mad at Dad, so I lose a sister.

[00:31:35]That's not fair. Where are you going to go back to your LA life and your cush job?

[00:31:40]I'm stuck here taking care of Mom.

[00:31:42]Whatever he did, just don't take it out on us.

[00:31:47]Help me.

[00:32:03]Thank god for the olden showers.

[00:32:07]Thank you, girls, for humoring your old mother. I just got tired of cleaning up.

[00:32:11]>> Yeah, right. Little Lilly here, you drank enough for all of us. Hair of the dog, baby. I got only 2 days to get in shape for the festival.

[00:32:20]He's gone.

[00:32:22]He loved you girls so much.

[00:32:26]Freshman year, I got a message from dorm security that I had a whole bunch of flowers, and I got all excited, like, "Oh, who are these from?"

[00:32:35]They were from Dad, of course.

[00:32:38]You can thank him.

[00:32:41]That hurt.

[00:32:43]It's not that simple. It's Dad was There's things about him you didn't know.

[00:32:49]Did you know this was his his dream?

[00:32:53]He wanted to raise his sons hunting and fishing. And And then you you two girls came along.

[00:33:06]I think there's a thunderstorm coming.

[00:33:09]I miss those in LA.

[00:33:13]I think we better go back inside.

[00:33:26]The thing is it's a dry heat. Huh?

[00:33:29]Arizona, that's what they say. It's a dry heat. And I think it'll go quickly.

[00:33:34]What will go?

[00:33:35]The house.

[00:33:37]You're going to burn the house down?

[00:33:38]>> I mean, this could be a teardown.

[00:33:40]Huh?

[00:33:42]They buy them and tear them down.

[00:33:44]>> I know what a teardown is, but I don't want our house to be one. Then I need $117,000.

[00:33:50]So, if you don't have that kind of money laying around, I think that the condo is very reasonable. What condo?

[00:33:57]>> Rancho Del Monte.

[00:33:59]I liked it right off cuz I used to use that tomato paste, not too acidic. You can't sell this house. What am I going to do rattling around here all by myself? Hello, I still live here. Oh, honey, you just made it quite clear that you need to go off to art school.

[00:34:14]Am I the only one that didn't get to leave this place? This is crazy.

[00:34:18]And Sarah, don't you make me wait to see you again.

[00:34:21]Arizona's right next to California last time I checked.

[00:34:28]What are we going to do? She already got an agent.

[00:35:30]Dad.

[00:35:32]I didn't think you had the guts to face me.

[00:35:37]Remember when you were little and you tried to row this boat all the way across the lake by yourself?

[00:35:41]You had to rescue me.

[00:35:43]You were only 7. You already knew that you could do anything. Of course you were too small to use the oars, but the wind was blowing.

[00:35:49]Before we could figure out where you'd gone, but you were 3 400 yards out.

[00:35:56]That scared the living daylights out of me.

[00:35:59]I jumped in the water.

[00:36:01]Swam out there and you were having a grand old time watching me splash around trying to climb into the boat. It wasn't so grand when we capsized. No, that's true. I thought Smithy'd get us. You had to put me on your back and swim me to shore and you squeezed me for like 15 minutes.

[00:36:19]It's good to see you, sunshine.

[00:36:20]Yeah, how am I >> Can you see me?

[00:36:22]Yeah. How cool is this?

[00:36:28]What the happened?

[00:36:30]It was an accident. Trust me, nobody tries to have an accident like that.

[00:36:33]I even lost my damn hat.

[00:36:37]I'm hungry.

[00:36:41]I used to love to eat. Mhm. Always with your mouth wide open.

[00:36:44]>> You all hated that, didn't you? My three sophisticated ladies of the league.

[00:36:48]Three, huh?

[00:36:52]Is that all?

[00:36:53]No other special lady at your funeral?

[00:36:56]You're not going to let that go, are you? What about Mom?

[00:37:01]All those years that you lied to her.

[00:37:04]Like a rose every Friday makes up the difference.

[00:37:08]Well, sunshine, I can see you're no romantic.

[00:37:11]I want to go home.

[00:37:13]Take me back.

[00:37:29]The Willards, they brought you pancakes with chocolate chips and peanut butter.

[00:37:33]Oh, >> [sighs] >> Mom, I can't eat that.

[00:37:36]>> What? It's your favorite.

[00:37:37]Yeah.

[00:37:39]When I was like eight.

[00:37:44]>> [snorts] >> New painting technique helps me organize my mind so I can be open to gifts of the universe.

[00:37:55]So, what are you painting?

[00:37:58]Nice. Very minimalist.

[00:38:02]It was for Dad.

[00:38:04]He wanted me to capture this view of the lake. My first and only commission. I kept putting him off and putting him off and there's no hurry now.

[00:38:13]Wally, this is who you are.

[00:38:15]I know who I am. I'm a small-town art teacher who paints cities she'll never visit. I never even made it to Chicago.

[00:38:25]I should have burned my portfolio when I had the chance. What?

[00:38:30]I got the gas can from the shed and dad stopped me.

[00:38:33]He said it'd be a shame to waste the canvases, so he took them down to the church's Joyce junk sale and I guess they got what they deserved, all painted over by amateurs.

[00:38:42]I thought you liked being a teacher.

[00:38:45]I do I I love the kids, but watching 10-year-old draw robots and me and me as a robot, it's not exactly how I pictured my life.

[00:38:57]You know?

[00:39:01]I'm all in my head. I've got to just get my kundalini flowing and open up my heart chakra.

[00:39:12]Under heaven all can see beauty only because there is ugliness.

[00:39:19]If you ever quit teaching, you could uh start writing fortune cookies. You will soon be leaning over a bar with several old friends. [music] And in bed.

[00:39:45]Hello, is this Carl Burger? Speaking.

[00:39:47]You sent me 68 emails. This is Mark Fluterman with the Flutortory channel.

[00:39:50]The Mark Fluterman?

[00:39:52]Oh my god, sir, we love you. Well, we're in scramble mode because of a cancellation.

[00:39:58]But I'd like to bring a crew out there and do an episode on Smithy. For real?

[00:40:02]That would be awesome.

[00:40:11]Why didn't you tell me, Ray?

[00:40:14]We don't have the money to pay these people.

[00:40:17]You promised me we were going to grow old here together. And now you just left me here alone.

[00:40:23]Darlin', after 34 years together, does it feel like you're alone?

[00:40:32]No.

[00:40:35]No, maybe that's the problem.

[00:40:39]You're everywhere.

[00:40:42]Our box, our bed.

[00:40:48]You even built the shed.

[00:40:51]You were always my home.

[00:40:53]This was the girls' home.

[00:40:55]If you're leaving cuz you think you have to, the girls can help.

[00:41:00]The girls.

[00:41:03]Lilly feels stuck here taking care of me.

[00:41:06]Sarah just wants to take the first plane out of here.

[00:41:23]Mom.

[00:41:26]Mom, why are you selling the house?

[00:41:30]I don't have a choice.

[00:41:33]Hapsburg Real Estate.

[00:41:35]Why do I know that name? Apparently, they have the deeds to the house.

[00:41:40]You have 2 weeks to pay or you're going to have to be evicted. Mom, this letter is dated [music] 10 days ago. Why didn't you come to me with this earlier? I didn't know about it.

[00:41:49]But I thought that Dad paid off the mortgage when we were kids. One day Ray comes in, he just says, "Go for it, darlin'.

[00:41:57]Build the kitchen of your dreams."

[00:41:59]So we refinanced. Yeah, they borrowed us [music] down to the bank.

[00:42:03]I never heard word one about these Rapture people.

[00:42:07]If I don't sell the house and pay these people, I'm I'm going to end with nothing.

[00:42:18]I'm going to figure this out.

[00:42:36]Hello? Jean? Sarah, where the heck are you? An Icarus Air Styles rep will be here in an hour.

[00:42:41]>> Oh, I tried to call you, but I I don't have any cell phone [music] service. I uh I I missed my flight. Okay. Look, let me see how quickly I can rebook.

[00:42:47]>> I'm actually not coming back right now.

[00:42:50]Winchester's on a rampage. [music] He needs you at the briefing. Ashton can cover for me. Look, there was a there was a card on my desk that said Rapture Real Estate.

[00:42:58]Give me those details [music] as soon as you can, okay? Okay.

[00:43:01]Thank you, Jean. You're the best.

[00:43:08]Oh, Dad.

[00:43:21]How am I supposed to find anything in this?

[00:43:36]The shoes are still here.

[00:43:40]I wonder what they wanted out of life when they were my age.

[00:43:50]>> [music] >> So, how does rapture fit in?

[00:44:21]Well, these guys are all [music] over the lake.

[00:44:28]Sarah, here's one more probate file.

[00:44:30]>> Oh, thank you so much.

[00:44:31]Great blouse, my favorite color. Thank you.

[00:44:36]Sarah.

[00:44:38]Oh, Taylor. What are you doing here?

[00:44:40]Thought you left town. I'm trying to establish chain of title for my dad's estate.

[00:44:45]You seem stressed.

[00:44:47]Want to grab some lunch?

[00:44:49]I have a boyfriend.

[00:44:50]Yeah, well, he'll have to buy his own.

[00:44:54]Let me drop off my dock permit. Give me 2 seconds.

[00:44:57]Don't go anywhere.

[00:45:10]So, why in the world are you doing marine patrol here at Smith Mountain Lake? Well, I love issuing fishing citations.

[00:45:18]But, the bullhorn, that was the real sell.

[00:45:21]Seriously?

[00:45:23]There's some magic about this lake.

[00:45:26]Don't want to be anywhere else.

[00:45:29]Now, you said you'd never leave.

[00:45:32]And then, just as we were about to get serious.

[00:45:35]You went off to school. Well, I wrote.

[00:45:38]I called. I I needed a change of pace.

[00:45:42]I have a confession to make.

[00:45:45]Saw you the other night, uh, trying to throw yourself off the dock.

[00:45:49]Trying to get freaking cell phone reception. Well, you gave quite a show to some locals. Looking out for the BFL.

[00:45:55]Hey, they deserve to see something at least.

[00:46:00]That's the Sarah I remember.

[00:46:02]Y'all know what you'd like?

[00:46:03]Uh yeah, I will have a pulled pork sandwich, iced tea, and some onion rings, please.

[00:46:08]For you, hon? Uh side salad and uh water with lemon.

[00:46:14]Bottled.

[00:46:15]All right.

[00:46:18]So, how's your mom?

[00:46:20]She holding up?

[00:46:21]She uh she wants to >> [music] >> sell the house and move to Arizona.

[00:46:27]Well, it is a dry heat out there.

[00:46:30]Yeah.

[00:46:32]There you go.

[00:46:36]I'm sorry, I have to go.

[00:46:37]Well, now I know how you stay so slim.

[00:46:39]You don't eat a damn thing.

[00:46:42]Let me make you dinner sometime.

[00:46:44]Tyler, I'm just here [music] to settle my father's estate.

[00:46:57]Larry.

[00:46:58]Nice to meet you, Larry.

[00:47:00]Russell, with an L. With an L, duly noted. Hi, I'm Bob.

[00:47:05]Can I get your autograph? Yeah, I'll make sure that [music] happens.

[00:47:08]Say, um Mr. Futterman, if I may, why is it that you sound so different in real life than you do on the TV? For the show, I like to use the dialect so that the viewers actually think it's one of their own telling them a story, you understand? It's a Hollywood So, look, what I'm going to do is I'm going to flesh out some interviews, mix with some actors, some CGI. For example, [music] if you hit uh enter on the computer, you're going to see footage to the project we did in Cressie, shot it up in Newfoundland. And as you can see from the footage, we got tons of monsters on green screen. We can augment that with shots of your lake. We can put the creature in any way we want. How do you know what he looks like?

[00:47:39]>> Doesn't matter what he looks like.

[00:47:41]Not going to get any footage of the creature, come on.

[00:47:43]>> [laughter] >> That's why we do reenactments.

[00:47:46]Come on, fellas.

[00:47:48]It's not radio. We got to show them something visual.

[00:47:51]Okay.

[00:47:53]Say, um me and the boys are going going get a drink down the road. Would you like to join us?

[00:47:58]No.

[00:47:59]No, I'll skip that. Yeah.

[00:48:05]>> [music] >> Aw. I don't remember the last time I had this much to drink.

[00:48:12]>> Jack [laughter] Daniels.

[00:48:13]It always feels a little zesty.

[00:48:16]Guess what? I had lunch today with Tyler.

[00:48:19]>> Hey, you bad girl. How did that go? No, no, no, no. I found Betty.

[00:48:23]She's a waitress at the diner.

[00:48:25]>> Oh, yeah. How are you so sure she really exists?

[00:48:27]>> Cuz I have the letters. I can show them I don't believe it. This This like This life is not an illusion.

[00:48:34]Or delusion. Listen to [laughter] you.

[00:48:36]You talk about how this place it traps you. Why don't you come out to LA with me? Oh, yeah. That'd be great. I'll leave Mom now. That's nice. Oh, man. How long are you going to use Mom as an excuse? Okay, class. Let's Let's get our kundalinis flowing in our chakras and I don't have to risk taking a real critic.

[00:48:55]Oh, no.

[00:48:56]Oh, Carl. I'm so sorry.

[00:48:58]That's okay.

[00:48:59]Beer's spilled on this shirt before and will again. RIGHT THAT MAYBE.

[00:49:04]>> [laughter] >> GEE, THANKS, VIC. THIS WAS YOURS, BUT >> [laughter] >> HEY, CARL.

[00:49:11]Heard you guys met a big movie star today. We sure did. Mr. Mark Futterman from Exploratory. He's doing an expose on Smitty. For real? For real.

[00:49:21]Say, listen. You mind if I bring him around?

[00:49:24]Yeah, you know, like show him where the legend began.

[00:49:27]Sure. My dad would be so proud. Cheers, guys. Cheers.

[00:49:33]Bye.

[00:49:35]That was so nice of them to get us this food. Bye. I know.

[00:49:41]There was stairs. I forgot about the stairs.

[00:49:46]This is why I never joined a gym.

[00:49:48]>> [laughter] >> So, it must be [clears throat] pretty weird coming here after your glamorous city living, huh?

[00:49:58]Does he take you to parties all the time? He who? He who? Lawyer boy. Is he the one? Oh, the one? I don't know.

[00:50:06]Ashton's the He should be, but you know.

[00:50:11]He's such a lawyer.

[00:50:14]Well, why are you with him then?

[00:50:16]Uh-oh.

[00:50:19]Ashton's smart, funny, and Ooh. Wow.

[00:50:24]Oh, I got it.

[00:50:30]>> [laughter] >> Oh, stars.

[00:50:34]You never see those in LA.

[00:50:38]I'm sorry about what I said earlier.

[00:50:42]I didn't mean it.

[00:50:45]Well, it's true.

[00:50:48]I'm a medium fish in a small, small pond.

[00:50:52]Well, a a lake, really.

[00:50:55]I'm safe.

[00:50:57]Safe and boring. Uh one thing you will never be is boring.

[00:51:03]In bed.

[00:51:06]>> [laughter] [music] >> Thank you for seeing me so early, Mr. Voyeurs.

[00:51:17]Mhm.

[00:51:18]As you know, my father refinanced with this bank, but the chain of title says that Rapture holds the papers to the house.

[00:51:26]Your father came to see me 3 years ago.

[00:51:28]He wanted to use some equity to pay for some upgrades, a gift to Vivian. So, he remortgaged. This area got hit very hard by the recession. Everybody was over-leveraged. A lot of people were missing payments.

[00:51:40]Rapture Well, Rapture claimed they would treat this this like family.

[00:51:47]So, we sold a group of loans at an acceptable loss. As mortgage-backed securities.

[00:51:53]And now they're calling these loans. As they have the right to do so. My mother doesn't have that kind of money. They're forcing her into short sale. Sarah, I'm sorry. I can't make them live up to their word.

[00:52:04]If there's anything I can do, I'd gladly repair this if I could.

[00:52:19]Thank you.

[00:52:20]Oh, good morning.

[00:52:23]Well, I got the idea to tell some folks that you were looking into Rapture Real Estate. Hey, Sarah.

[00:52:29]I was just telling your mom that for us it started when Dale's foot injury forced him to leave the state police.

[00:52:36]Bills were just piling up.

[00:52:38]Mr. Boyer's couldn't help us any. Too risky.

[00:52:42]And then Rapture just swooped in and offered us a way out. Same thing with the bar.

[00:52:47]I couldn't work. Always with Remy at the hospital, you know.

[00:52:50]I had to take out a second mortgage to help pay for the radiation therapy.

[00:52:54]These people came to us like they was guardian angels. Rapture ain't no angel.

[00:52:58]More like Raptor Real Estate.

[00:53:01]How'd you find these guys? They put flyers on the hospital bulletin board.

[00:53:05]Didn't strike me at the time how sick that is.

[00:53:08]Fella came by the electronic shop. If something doesn't [music] change soon, I'm going to have to sell.

[00:53:14]Just like you, Victor.

[00:53:25]That's a lot of complaints in one year.

[00:53:35]Thanks for calling me back.

[00:53:36]Sure thing, Sarah, but I got to tell you we've looked into Rapture before, hon.

[00:53:39]We never had enough to build a case.

[00:53:41]They're clearly [music] trying to manipulate the market.

[00:53:44]Good luck to you, honey. That's going to be tough to prove.

[00:53:47]At least let me bring you what I found.

[00:53:49]All right. I can give you 10 minutes tomorrow at 5:00. I'll be there.

[00:54:00]>> [sighs] >> Hey, baby.

[00:54:03]How's it going up there on the mountain?

[00:54:05]Been kidnapped by the McCoy clan yet?

[00:54:08]Don't say that. You're always knocking those hillbillies. They're my family.

[00:54:12]People around here, they wave to you when you drive by them and they'll do anything that you ask them to do and you really should see it. Next time, baby.

[00:54:21]We're totally swamped on this merger.

[00:54:23]When you get back, we'll do it up. You know I'm sure of that. How big Carpaccio you love? That's the one you love.

[00:54:30]Then we'll go to a place you like, okay?

[00:54:33]Just hurry up and get back here. I have to deal with Rapture real estate first.

[00:54:38]Finally.

[00:54:39]I didn't want you to mix business with personal, but Yeah, they have so-called clients all over the lake. They buy failing loans off the bank, jack up the interest and then force people into short sales. I'm convinced that I can press criminal charges. I'm going to meet with the DA and I'll see you there.

[00:54:56]Sarah, I'm I'm I'm here.

[00:54:57]What do you mean criminal charges? Are you there?

[00:55:00]>> [sighs] >> Sarah.

[00:55:03]Damn.

[00:55:12]Folks, I am here in the town of Smith Mountain Lake, [music] Virginia. Uh Carl, you say there's an entire town under this lake? Bunch of houses anyway, Mark Fighterman. Cemeteries, too.

[00:55:23]Some folks didn't believe the water level would get as high as it was marked, ended up having to leave everything behind.

[00:55:29]Carl Burger heads up a local group, the Smithy Research Society, in search of a giant plesiosaur known as Smithy.

[00:55:36]Uh Carl, what can you tell me the beast?

[00:55:39]Okay, first of all, calm down. Relax.

[00:55:40]We're going to get a cut out there.

[00:55:41]We'll make this work. When I ask you this question, just relax, okay? Your note will be more good, less suck. Don't be nervous. Don't stare at the camera.

[00:55:48]Don't stare at me. And stop saying my last name. It makes you sound ridiculous. All right? You good?

[00:55:52]>> [clears throat and cough] >> So Carl, what can you tell me about the beast?

[00:55:58]Well, Mark Friedeman, Smithy was the name that the old fisherman gave him. It was our friend Ray. He named him Smithy. We believe he may be hundreds of years old and weigh over 2 tons. Sounds like my mother-in-law.

[00:56:09]You can cut that part out, obviously.

[00:56:17]Willie?

[00:56:18]Up here.

[00:56:23]Nice job tearing down that sign.

[00:56:26]What's going on?

[00:56:30]Yeah, told me he took these to the junk sale.

[00:56:42]I can't believe you were going to burn these.

[00:56:45]Crazy.

[00:56:49]Oh my god.

[00:56:52]This is great.

[00:56:54]Keep it.

[00:57:10]In a sec. Okay.

[00:57:12]>> [snorts] >> Why'd you tell me that story before?

[00:57:50]Well, maybe it was to remind you of a girl wasn't afraid of anything.

[00:57:53]I went to LA by myself. Exactly.

[00:57:56]By yourself.

[00:57:57]Now you tether to some man who'll do anything he can to keep you away from all the people that you really care about. That's just speculation. Well, excuse me, your honor. Everybody's got their secrets. You should know that.

[00:58:08]What do you mean by that? Betty.

[00:58:11]She is one big step down from Mom.

[00:58:13]What she offer you anyway, Dad? Two for one specials?

[00:58:19]I have the letters. You were teenager, Sarah. If it wasn't the letters, it'd have been something else that made you upset. Take me back.

[00:58:27]Now.

[00:58:28]Your way out, please. I know that you wrote those letters. Yes, I did. I wrote those letters.

[00:58:34]Every one of them.

[00:58:35]When you think you got everything figured out, you might want to just look a little deeper.

[00:58:41]Look a little deeper.

[00:58:45]One Can I just get one night's sleep?

[00:58:49]>> [sighs] >> Hello.

[00:59:39]Why did you want to come up?

[00:59:48]>> [screaming] >> YOU DON'T WANT THIS HOUSE! THIS HOUSE IS HAUNTED! Lilly Tistao.

[00:59:54]I'm so sorry about that.

[00:59:56]We didn't actually come to see the house.

[01:00:00]We all wanted to invite you to join the She Do's. Oh, I'm not much for jet skis.

[01:00:05]We do a lot more than that, all around the lake.

[01:00:07]>> For instance, one thing we're doing is helping with the wine festival. I don't know I'm A lot of us are widows. I lost Herbie 6 months after we moved in.

[01:00:16]Reaching out is so much better than tucking in.

[01:00:19]We'd love if you could spare the time to help us set up the art displays at the festival.

[01:00:28]That's as good as it gets. Thank you.

[01:00:29]Thank you. So, Mr. McCarran, what is your take on whether or not the serpent actually exists? Well, as chairman of the wine festival committee, I'm very happy to cooperate in any way I can, but >> Sure. I I really don't know uh what you want me to say. That's good, Ainsley. Uh my my official position is that Smitty exists. [music] My private position is that he does not.

[01:00:52]However, my public position is [music] that folks here love this sea serpent, therefore so do I.

[01:00:59]So, uh when do we roll?

[01:01:02]Oh, we've been rolling.

[01:01:03]What?

[01:01:04]What I Well, you can't I swear if you idiots do anything to mess up my wine festival, I'll Yo, we're done here.

[01:03:10]Hm.

[01:03:11]Well, there was this one night where um my my dad was fishing late, and my mom started to get scared.

[01:03:17]And when he finally dragged himself in, he was soaking wet and he said this huge lizard had capsized the boat. Smitty?

[01:03:23]Yeah, he said it WAS ALL LIKE >> [laughter] >> WHAT IS IT NOW? MHM.

[01:03:31]THEN YOU TELL ME THIS, WHAT do you think that was?

[01:05:24]You look like you have an attitude problem.

[01:05:28]>> [laughter] >> Hicks.

[01:06:35]I'm going to take that as a yes, served on a bed of yes, rinsed down with a couple of yes.

[01:06:39]I'll see you tomorrow.

[01:06:41]Goodnight.

[01:06:45]You are terrible, Shandra. Terrible.

[01:06:49]Smells good.

[01:06:51]Chilean sea bass, fingerling potatoes, and some Keswick [music] Viognier.

[01:07:01]It's local.

[01:07:03]I always thought when they said local they meant moonshine. There's about 20 wineries in the region. Hm.

[01:08:09]Oh, oh, it's dangerous.

[01:08:11]There's a lot of places a diver can get snagged, you know.

[01:08:14]Barbed wire fences and uh tree branches. And visibility's just piss-poor.

[01:08:21]Just when you thought you'd seen it all, you got to look a little deeper.

[01:08:27]I mean, it's amazing down there. There's There's houses with cans of food lying in the pantries.

[01:08:35]So we can have clean energy.

[01:08:39]And all this.

[01:08:42]And that's why you came back.

[01:08:45]I'm just trying to honor the people who lived here, you know.

[01:12:24]Raptor's bringing in huge revenues.

[01:12:27]You represent Raptor Real Estate.

[01:12:30]That's why you came here. Raptor.

[01:12:33]I did it for you.

[01:13:09]What do you mean by that?

[01:13:10]>> Well, I mean what if he sets up with all those cameras and and lights and Smitty doesn't show? You heard him, that's when they bring out the the the CSI. Barry's right, you know what they do on his show?

[01:13:20]He's going to make us look like idiots.

[01:13:23]Nobody can make us look like idiots.

[01:13:25]Only we can do that. We got to make sure he sees something. Yeah.

[01:13:31]How?

[01:13:36]Guys, I think I've got a plan.

[01:13:42]Could have taken him in now.

[01:13:44]Come on, slugger.

[01:13:47]Let me buy you breakfast. I can't.

[01:13:49]You got to eat sometime.

[01:13:53]I can't do this.

[01:13:55]Hey.

[01:13:58]Before you run out again without telling me why, at least at least let me put all my cards on the table.

[01:14:07]I love you, Sarah.

[01:14:09]I I've always loved you.

[01:14:15]Now, if you could see what's in my heart.

[01:14:20]It's not you. I'm sorry.

[01:14:22]Sarah.

[01:14:28]Carl is going to be so surprised. You know what? You better hurry up and get that thing to the doc. Let's go.

[01:14:35]Futterman, you want Smitty, you got Smitty. Careful, careful.

[01:14:44]Tell me, what is it?

[01:14:45]What is it?

[01:15:18]>> I ran out the bar and told me you were ashen and you had a fight.

[01:15:22]You all right? All right.

[01:15:25]I just cut my own throat.

[01:15:27]To fight rapture, I'd have to fight my own firm.

[01:15:30]I was in line for a partnership. Now I'll never be able to face Winchester again.

[01:15:41]You know how proud I am of all you've accomplished.

[01:15:49]I know you didn't want it that way. No.

[01:15:51]Mom, that's not why I left.

[01:15:57]So, why don't you just tell me what it is you got to say?

[01:16:00]I have You think you got to tread lightly cuz I allowed myself to to fall into the depths of grief.

[01:16:09]I loved your father with my whole heart.

[01:16:14]But I'm not that fragile.

[01:16:18]Now, I chose this life.

[01:16:20]I chose family and community and simplicity and nature over wealth and power and position and fame.

[01:16:31]Now, I respect [music] your choices and I know folks your neck of the woods don't respect mine.

[01:16:36]But I expect you to know better.

[01:16:40]I taught you to be a straight shooter.

[01:16:43]Rival man.

[01:16:47]You just take a deep breath.

[01:16:49]Relax.

[01:16:51]And squeeze that trigger slowly.

[01:16:55]That's how you handle Mr. Winchester.

[01:16:59]I am not accustomed to negotiating with my own employees, but I'm sure we can come to terms, Ms. Tisdale. Persuade me, Mr. Winchester. I will stipulate that Rapture should have been more rigorously vetted before Ash signed them. So, how can our client avoid criminal proceedings? Rapture returns ownership of the house to Vivian Tisdale. Done.

[01:17:21]And we'll pay six months of her mortgage to the bank for time and suffering.

[01:17:25]Done.

[01:17:27]The same goes for Tinel's Market, Jim Powell's boat, and 14 other owners. I'll forward a list.

[01:17:34]Agreed.

[01:17:35]Anything else?

[01:17:37]Your client is [music] through with Smith Mountain Lake.

[01:17:40]In fact, in the entire Commonwealth of Virginia. In exchange, you will not pursue any criminal action against Rapture for any infractions or tortious activity, nor will you involve any third party. Mhm.

[01:17:52]Deal.

[01:17:56]You're a good lawyer, Sarah. Your values are your strength.

[01:17:59]Now, get the hell back here. [music] What about Ash? That person no longer works at this firm.

[01:18:09]We did it.

[01:18:15]It's finished.

[01:18:18]Dad would have loved that, Lil.

[01:18:22]My fellow citizens, we have dozens of Virginia's finest vintages on tap. Well, uh not on tap, of course, that's beer. I mean, decanted.

[01:18:32]Oh, no, you can't decant that. It would have done by then. I'm breathing it.

[01:18:36]These are fertile Smith water down here.

[01:18:44]>> [music] >> Side salad, >> [music] >> water's lemon.

[01:19:00]Hell, if I had your body, I'd eat like a rodent, too.

[01:19:05]So, how did you know my father?

[01:19:07]Ray was a good friend when not too many other people were around. How uh how good a friend?

[01:19:17]I didn't have the most wholesome reputation, but it didn't mean I deserved a man like Waylon.

[01:19:23]Ray got me out of there.

[01:19:25]He gave me money for a room.

[01:19:27]Even took me to see the doctors.

[01:19:30]I never knew that about him.

[01:19:33]You were too young [music] to know about such things.

[01:19:35]I will always be grateful to your daddy.

[01:19:38]Did he ever call you by any kind of nickname?

[01:19:41]No.

[01:19:43]Some folks here call me Liza, but I hate it.

[01:19:46]I prefer Elizabeth. Elizabeth?

[01:19:49]Who is Betty?

[01:19:51]Betty?

[01:19:52]Hm.
