00:00:00You
00:00:30There's a local Ojibwe saying if a young woman makes her way to the church of our elders
00:00:43She will return one day with her husband. Don't put any money on me, but it's true
00:00:48Tease that I know I said I wouldn't leave Alaska until I visited some sacred grounds, but I just can't
00:00:55Are those ceremonial drums? Yes, but the sounds are deceiving here
00:01:00It's two more miles upriver two miles. Oh
00:01:03I mean about this far
00:01:06That's two little miles
00:02:00I
00:02:04Told him that you wanted to take pictures and that you've come to give him a gift of thanks
00:02:15He thanks you
00:02:23He gives you this necklace to remember them and it will protect you
00:03:00Oh
00:03:17There's a telephone about three miles down the river near where we put the canoe in the water tomorrow
00:03:22I'll be back in Denver slugging out a white beer campaign fighting for my place in the corporate ladder
00:03:27You think wait you dislike your work? Oh, I love advertising
00:03:32Sometimes I wonder why
00:03:36You have a Sherry Winslow there I was notified she was in an auto accident
00:03:41What's her condition?
00:03:43Yes. Yes. I'm her sister
00:03:46Well, could you please connect me to her room?
00:03:51Why what's wrong with her
00:03:53Well, well who can answer my questions
00:04:00Attention passengers
00:04:23Oh
00:04:41She's gone
00:04:53Oh, she can't be dead
00:05:01She can't be
00:05:05Where is she?
00:05:23Oh
00:05:43Couldn't you wait share
00:05:48God this can't be true
00:05:54Oh
00:05:55What happened
00:05:57She had severe internal injuries
00:06:00they wanted to operate to stop the bleeding but
00:06:03When she saw the consent form and realized there was a substantial risk to the baby
00:06:09She refused I beg your pardon
00:06:12The procedure could have been a long one. There was a chance
00:06:17well
00:06:18What baby?
00:06:21She was just beginning her seventh month of pregnancy
00:06:26They were able to deliver her child by cesarean section, but I'm afraid they don't hold much hope for him
00:06:42Excuse me
00:06:50You
00:06:52Oh
00:07:17Take you home. No, not yet. You go you go ahead
00:07:23I
00:07:29Don't want to leave you here
00:07:32She has to be cremated
00:07:35Take care of it. She wants the ashes in California near the cottage
00:07:44Why didn't you tell me she was pregnant
00:07:47Because I didn't know not until I picked her up at the airport
00:07:53Who's the father
00:07:56She wouldn't say and now I don't want to know
00:08:06You remember last Christmas she was madly in love
00:08:11She was always madly in love. No, this was different
00:08:17She made him sound like some sort of Howard Hughes
00:08:23I sort of wrote it off
00:08:27She was determined to have that baby and it was all from nothing
00:08:52Oh
00:08:54I
00:08:56I
00:08:58I
00:09:21May I help you
00:09:23I'd like to see Sherry Winslow's baby. I'm his aunt. I'm sorry. No visitors. Oh
00:09:30Maya my sister died about an hour ago
00:09:35And I know that she wouldn't want someone to touch him
00:09:42Please did you let me do that?
00:09:53You
00:10:00Your mother paid a gigantic price for your life
00:10:07Don't be too quick to let it go
00:10:14Give him a name at least
00:10:19Kevin uncle
00:10:23I
00:10:53You
00:11:03Hey kiddo
00:11:06Kathy told me you came in. What the hell are you doing here?
00:11:10I'm not staying. I'm on my way to Sacramento
00:11:13I'll take all the time you need
00:11:16Colonies
00:11:18Are you sure? I?
00:11:20Know it doesn't always seem like it, but we can muddle through the Alaska material was incredible

00:12:18Not Sherry not that
00:12:20I

00:14:20You
00:14:50You
00:14:52You
00:15:17That's where you smiled at me obviously he thinks you're hysterical
00:15:23The doctor said he'll be here for at least a month you'll have plenty of time to get ready. Oh
00:15:28I'm not taking no or trust me. I'll examine whoever does under a microscope. Oh, I guess I just assumed
00:15:35Well, listen, I neglect my cat. I work 12 hours a day. I'd make a lousy mother
00:15:40That's kind of sad
00:15:43He seemed such a connection with him
00:15:53And
00:16:00The other children are Sandy's three and Tommy's nine both were adopted as infants we always wanted three
00:16:10How do you think they'd respond to a new baby like any natural family
00:16:15It'll take some time
00:16:16but the kids will figure out that it isn't gonna change much other than that their mother and I won't be getting any sleep for
00:16:20A couple of months and they won't be going anywhere and Sam you'll be giving up her bed
00:16:25Not to mention her spot in Ellen's laugh and Tom, you'll have to share his box. It'll be an adjustment. They'll handle it
00:16:36What would you ask if you were me I
00:16:40Guess I'd ask if it would be all right to come and see him and I'd say yes
00:16:51Oh
00:16:56Hello when I'll be right there
00:17:08Where's Kevin in microsurgery on three
00:17:21Chris how's he doing? He's still in surgery

00:18:32I'm it right now. I'm all he's got

00:22:49The one in the window.
00:22:50The man on the horse.
00:22:51Where'd you get it?
00:22:52Mason.
00:22:53On consignment from Colorado.
00:22:54Yeah, but where can I find the artist?
00:22:56I believe she's deceased.
00:22:57What?
00:22:58Well, the work was consigned by a family member.
00:23:04Hold on.
00:23:05Who is it?
00:23:06Who painted it?
00:23:07Sherry.
00:23:08Sherry Winslow, born 1962, died 1991.
00:23:09We have another of her paintings.
00:23:10Would you care to see it?
00:23:111991?
00:23:12That's what it says here.
00:23:13Let's get out of here.
00:23:14Kevin, have you put your bike away?
00:23:38I'm going to.
00:23:40Right now.
00:23:41Hello?
00:23:42Hello, my name is Mason Whitney.
00:23:46I'm looking for Sherry Winslow.
00:23:49I'm sorry, Mr. Whitney, but Sherry passed away several years ago.
00:23:54I just recently heard that.
00:23:57I guess I was hoping it wasn't true.
00:24:00It's true.
00:24:04Is this Mrs. Winslow?
00:24:05No, this is Sherry's sister.
00:24:09How did you know Sherry?
00:24:12I, uh, well, we were very close.
00:24:16It was some time ago.
00:24:18I'm sorry.
00:24:23So am I. More than you can imagine.
00:24:29When exactly did you know my sister?
00:24:32About seven years ago, probably not too long before she died.
00:24:37And how long were you...
00:24:39More than enough time for me to have fallen in love with her.
00:24:43We were together about six months.
00:24:46I only wish I knew what happened.
00:24:49All those years, I thought, well...
00:24:54Hey, thanks again for your time.
00:24:58You're welcome.
00:24:59Goodbye, Mr. Whitney.
00:25:00Goodbye.
00:25:10This is terrific.
00:25:11I just spoke to Kevin's father.
00:25:12What?
00:25:13You heard me.
00:25:14How do you know it was him?
00:25:15I know.
00:25:16He said enough.
00:25:17Mason Whitney.
00:25:18Oh, after all this time.
00:25:19That bastard.
00:25:20You know his name?
00:25:21I don't.
00:25:22I don't.
00:25:23I don't.
00:25:24I don't.
00:25:25I don't.
00:25:26I don't.
00:25:27I don't.
00:25:28I don't.
00:25:29I don't.
00:25:30I don't.
00:25:31I don't.
00:25:32I don't.
00:25:33I don't.
00:25:34I don't.
00:25:35I don't.
00:25:36I don't.
00:25:37I don't.
00:25:39He doesn't know about Kevin.
00:25:41What did he want?
00:25:43He was asking about Sherry.
00:25:45Mother, how can you be so sure he doesn't know about Kevin?
00:25:50Trust me on this one, Christine.
00:25:53No.
00:25:55No, you answer me.
00:25:59Open the...
00:26:00Open the top drawer over there.
00:26:03Take out the satin bag.
00:26:11What's this?
00:26:12I thought everything was in storage.
00:26:14Not everything.
00:26:26She must have written it.
00:26:29She must have written it.
00:26:32Just before she...
00:26:35Mason Whitney.
00:26:38He didn't mail it.
00:26:40No.
00:26:42It was with the things the hospital gave me.
00:26:46And...
00:26:49It was too painful.
00:26:51I didn't even go through the bag until after you brought Kevin home.
00:26:54And then I...
00:26:58I couldn't mail it.
00:27:00Read it. You'll understand.
00:27:10Mason.
00:27:12It's very hard for me to write.
00:27:15I've really missed you.
00:27:18I kept hoping you'd stop being afraid of your feelings.
00:27:21Change your mind and come find me, but you didn't.
00:27:25Brace yourself for a shock.
00:27:28When I asked you to marry me, I didn't tell you everything.
00:27:32I knew I was pregnant, but I also knew about your medieval sense of honour.
00:27:37You would have said yes, and it would have been for the wrong reason.
00:27:42How could you not mail this, Mother?
00:27:44Keep reading.
00:27:47Dumb me. I never planned on dying.
00:27:51It's going to be a boy.
00:27:53My family will see to it that he gets a good home.
00:27:56But I've always believed if you had given marriage a chance,
00:27:59we could have made an incredible life together.
00:28:02And you'd have been a wonderful father.
00:28:05Now I am leaving you the option. You can let my family know your decision.
00:28:10You made me perfectly happy for a long time.
00:28:14Loving you still gives me profound joy.
00:28:18Peace.
00:28:21What in God's name were you thinking?
00:28:24I know who Mason Whitney is. He's a corporate shark.
00:28:29He's a rich opportunist.
00:28:31No, please.
00:28:32He hurt Sherry.
00:28:35He never tried to find her, and she died.
00:28:43She died trying to bring that baby into the world.
00:28:48He did not deserve to know.
00:28:57And what about you?
00:28:59You belonged with Kevin.
00:29:02By the time I read that letter, you were already his mother.
00:29:06And you loved him so much, Chris.
00:29:10It was the right thing for that little boy and for you.
00:29:16I believed it then, and I believe it now.
00:29:23What if you hadn't survived your stroke?
00:29:30No one would ever have known the truth.
00:29:33No one would ever have known the truth.
00:30:03I love you.
00:30:34Sorry I'm late, Will.
00:30:36Oh, thanks. I'll see you when I get back.
00:30:38I hate to make you speed to the airport.
00:30:40No problem. I picked up your mail when I packed your bags.
00:30:43Thanks a lot.
00:30:45Surprise.
00:30:47Oh, make me a happy guy. Tell me you're coming, wouldn't you?
00:30:50You know I'd come if I could.
00:30:52Problem is, I'm indispensable. Just not to you.
00:30:55You don't know how lucky you are.
00:30:58I'd probably take terrible advantage of you.
00:31:01Say the word, I'll take my chances.
00:31:04So how'd you find Will?
00:31:06You forget. I'm very resourceful.
00:31:09No, no, I don't forget.
00:31:21What is it?
00:31:31Mason.
00:31:49Kevin?
00:31:50I'll get it.
00:31:51Well, see who it is first.
00:31:53Okay.
00:32:01Who is it?
00:32:03Mason Whitney.
00:32:10Hi. I bet you're Kevin.
00:32:14Yep.
00:32:16Nice to meet you.
00:32:18I better go get my mom.
00:32:20Could you wait a minute, buddy?
00:32:22Yeah, but I can't open the screen.
00:32:25That's okay.
00:32:27You're a pretty big guy for seven years old, aren't you?
00:32:30More medium, I think.
00:32:32Medium.
00:32:35Chris.
00:32:38Mason Whitney is downstairs.
00:32:40What?
00:32:42Are you sure?
00:32:44Yes.
00:32:45You look like you're having a sad feeling.
00:32:49Nah.
00:32:51Yeah, you are.
00:32:54I was just thinking about somebody.
00:32:58You remind me of her.
00:33:00She had hair and eyes just like yours.
00:33:03I'm supposed to look like my first mom.
00:33:06She's dead.
00:33:07Yeah, I know.
00:33:09I knew her.
00:33:11So where's your dad?
00:33:13I don't get one.
00:33:15Why not?
00:33:16Sometimes you don't.
00:33:18Would you like a dad?
00:33:20Of course.
00:33:21Can I help you?
00:33:24He's her.
00:33:27His face.
00:33:28He cherries.
00:33:30He's Mason.
00:33:35Kevin, go upstairs.
00:33:36But mom.
00:33:38Right now, please.
00:33:40Can I come in?
00:33:43Come in.
00:33:53I got the letter yesterday.
00:33:55Postmarked Denver.
00:33:56Three days ago.
00:33:58Yes, I'm sorry.
00:33:59It was a miscommunication.
00:34:01Well, why now?
00:34:02Because I called?
00:34:03Because you thought I'd figure it out?
00:34:05No, because I only found the letter three days ago.
00:34:08Let's leave it at that.
00:34:11Why did you come here?
00:34:13What did you expect me to do?
00:34:16Not this.
00:34:18Well, then why send the letter?
00:34:20Because once I found the letter, I thought it was the honorable thing to do.
00:34:24Look, you adopted Kevin. You're his mother.
00:34:27I'm not here to mess with that.
00:34:31Thank you.
00:34:33But I do want to provide for him.
00:34:35Well, I've been taking care of him, and we're fine.
00:34:38Somewhat by selling Sherry's paintings.
00:34:41How do you know about that?
00:34:43I saw one in a gallery. That's how I found you here in the first place.
00:34:47I know a lot, Miss Winslow.
00:34:50I know you quit a promising career when Kevin was born.
00:34:54You freelance at home. Your mother had a stroke 18 months ago.
00:34:57That's put quite a financial burden on the family.
00:35:01You make about...
00:35:02I know what I make.
00:35:04Listen, I'm on a deadline right now.
00:35:06If I need anything, Mr. Whitney, I have your address in Sacramento.
00:35:09I'll drop you a note.
00:35:11Wait a minute.
00:35:25Miss Winslow.
00:35:28I thought you'd be back in Sacramento.
00:35:31This isn't a whim.
00:35:34Kevin's trust account. You can draw whatever you need to cover his expenses.
00:35:38My local attorney's name and address.
00:35:41Draw up an itemized list of any previous expenses. Some you'll have to estimate.
00:35:45Now, slow down. You can't make up for seven years in five minutes.
00:35:49I see to it that you're reimbursed with interest.
00:35:51I told you, I don't want your money.
00:35:53And I'd like to set up some regular schedules to see Kevin.
00:35:57Now, wait a minute.
00:35:59Don't you want your son to have a father?
00:36:01You know, that's a very dramatic word.
00:36:03And I love the way it catches in your throat.
00:36:05And biology aside, you're not Kevin's father.
00:36:08He can't imagine you. He doesn't even know that you exist.
00:36:12Sherry loved me.
00:36:14You read the letter.
00:36:16She wasn't the greatest judge of men, from what I can gather.
00:36:18You didn't exactly move heaven and earth to find her, did you?
00:36:22I didn't know there was a baby.
00:36:24She knew I didn't want children.
00:36:26Then I don't get it. What are you doing here?
00:36:28I don't see why you're so threatened.
00:36:30You don't?
00:36:32No. And after this week, I'm going to stay here in Denver and...
00:36:35I don't think that Kevin would like that. In fact, I know that I definitely wouldn't.
00:36:39I'm growing less concerned with what you think, Miss Winslow.
00:36:42I might be a tad more open to this if I thought that you at least cared about how Kevin feels.
00:36:47Sherry loved you. And I'm trying very hard to respect that.
00:36:52You know, I'm not suggesting that Kevin's not yours.
00:36:55But the fact remains, he's also mine.
00:36:57Well, I don't happen to see it that way.
00:36:59I'd like to see him this Saturday morning.
00:37:03I'll limit my preliminary visits to two hours once a week.
00:37:07I guess I'm supposed to be shaking in my boots?
00:37:09No, you're supposed to be fair.
00:37:11Who are you to dictate to me what's fair?
00:37:13You have my number.
00:37:14Oh, boy, do I ever.
00:37:23So he shows up barking orders and you're telling me to cooperate?
00:37:26I'm telling you, if you don't, my experience has taught me that he'll take you to court.
00:37:30He's a powerful man.
00:37:32Is there any doubt in your mind that he's Kevin's father?
00:37:36No.
00:37:38Well, they can demand a lot more than two hours a week.
00:37:40And he may very well get it.
00:37:43Your mother deliberately withheld a letter that not only establishes paternity,
00:37:47but clearly states that Sherry wanted Mason Whitney to raise Kevin.
00:37:50No, she gave him an option, that's all.
00:37:53Suppose his lawyers convince the court that you purposely did not send that letter.
00:37:59Your adoption is permanent.
00:38:01But that doesn't mean Mason can't make a hell of a case for joint custody.
00:38:06Joint custody? Can he get that?
00:38:08Look, just don't let it get that far.
00:38:14All right, he wants his visit, he gets his visit.
00:38:16But I'm going with him.
00:38:19I'll see what I can do.
00:38:23We're going to the park tomorrow.
00:38:25With Molly and Zoe?
00:38:28Not this time.
00:38:31Mason's coming with us.
00:38:33You remember him?
00:38:35Yeah.
00:38:37That's kind of weird, though.
00:38:40Why's that?
00:38:42You hated him.
00:38:43Well, no, I didn't.
00:38:44He just surprised your mother, Kevin.
00:38:48Then how come we're going?
00:38:50Then how come we're going?
00:38:51Is this a date or something?
00:38:54No.
00:38:58Then how come?
00:39:02He wants to spend some time with you, get to know you better.
00:39:11Mason Whitney's your father, Kevin.
00:39:15Really?
00:39:17Really.
00:39:19Now I know why he was almost crying.
00:39:21He was so glad to see me.
00:39:25That's right.
00:39:27I never even knew I had a dad.
00:39:29He was in Sacramento.
00:39:31You still could have told me.
00:39:35Didn't know where he was.
00:39:37Oh.
00:39:39And he's taking me to the park?
00:39:41That's right.
00:39:44Does he know I'm not a baby and I don't go on swings and stuff?
00:39:48You can tell him that yourself.
00:39:50Cool.
00:39:52He was nice.
00:39:56Wow.
00:39:57A dad.
00:40:06So, it was a mistake?
00:40:08Yep. You see, Sherry didn't tell me she was going to have a baby.
00:40:12Why not?
00:40:13Well, I don't know. Maybe she thought I'd be mad.
00:40:16Are you?
00:40:17No. When I heard about it, I went straight to the airport and they said,
00:40:21we don't have a plane to Denver tonight.
00:40:23And I said, well, you better find me one.
00:40:26And what'd they find?
00:40:27They found a 400-seater.
00:40:29I was the only one on it, except for the pilot.
00:40:31He called it the Kevin Special.
00:40:34No way.
00:40:35Honest.
00:40:36This okay?
00:40:38Fine.
00:40:47This is a stegosaurus.
00:40:49Yeah, what's this?
00:40:51Brachiosaurus.
00:40:52Right.
00:40:56Mom, look.
00:40:57Watch out, Kevin. Be careful.
00:40:59They're plastic.
00:41:02Kevin doesn't play with war toys.
00:41:04Oh, give me a break.
00:41:05You think that's funny?
00:41:07No, I think it's very politically correct.
00:41:11Why don't you and I have this conversation a little later?
00:41:14Kevin, let's go.
00:41:44Kevin.
00:41:47Here.
00:41:49These are for you.
00:41:52Sorry, Kevin.
00:41:53You can't accept them.
00:41:58Why don't you let Kevin speak for himself?
00:42:02Kevin, go inside.
00:42:06I'm sorry, son.
00:42:08I wanted you to have a nice day.
00:42:11I had a nice day.
00:42:14Kevin.
00:42:19It's all right to say thank you.
00:42:23Thanks.
00:42:24Thanks a lot.
00:42:28A little irrational, don't you think?
00:42:30They're just toys.
00:42:32There's no such thing as just.
00:42:34Everything you do, everything you say has an impact on a child.
00:42:39So have her.
00:42:40Don't you patronize me. You're way out of line.
00:42:43I can't just allow some stranger to show up and screw up his values.
00:42:46If I'm a stranger to that boy, it's because you and your family conspired to make it that way.
00:42:50You deliberately hid him from me.
00:42:52And then when I tried to reach out, you made it your personal mission to interfere.
00:42:56I wonder if Sherry never told you that she was pregnant.
00:42:59You know what?
00:43:00I'm going to let the legal system decide how to deal with this.
00:43:03Are you threatening me?
00:43:05I don't threaten, lady.
00:43:06I'm going to drag you through every court in this country.
00:43:08I'll prove you denied my right to be his father.
00:43:11And I'll get custody.
00:43:12Believe me, I'll get custody.
00:43:18Come on, let's play.
00:43:24So, what are you going to do?
00:43:26Nothing.
00:43:29I call his room and he checked out. He'll go back to Sacramento.
00:43:33This is Mason's fad of the month. He'll get tired of wanting to play daddy and move on to something else.
00:43:37You don't think he's serious?
00:43:39No, I think he just wants to brag about his son with his friends at the racquet club.
00:43:43How do you know that?
00:43:44Well, according to Fortune magazine, Mason Whitney is worth millions.
00:43:49Everything's about power and ego with those guys.
00:43:53Excuse me.
00:44:04Christine Winslow?
00:44:05That's right.
00:44:06I'm going to need you to sign this, please.
00:44:08What is it?
00:44:09It's a court order, ma'am.
00:44:11Here, ma'am.
00:44:30Walter Mason Whitney shall be entitled to no less than two unsupervised visits with Kevin William Winslow,
00:44:37pending full hearing on paternity and custody of above-mentioned child within ten business days.
00:44:42Custody?
00:44:44What should I do?
00:44:48I told you I had to go.
00:44:51So you can give Mason a chance.
00:44:53I already did.
00:44:54Then you had a good time.
00:44:56But you were with me.
00:44:59You think I'd let him take you. I didn't think he could take good care of you.
00:45:03Okay, then.
00:45:05Call me here.
00:45:07I already did.
00:45:19Did you have to get a court order?
00:45:22Apparently so.
00:45:24Well, he doesn't want to go.
00:45:27He'll be fine.
00:45:29You can't force him to love you.
00:45:32He doesn't want this.
00:45:33He's never had it. How would he know?
00:45:38Hi, pal.
00:45:40Hi.
00:45:42Well, give me five.
00:45:45You're gonna have a good time. Go on.
00:45:50Do you like the Rockies, Kevin?
00:45:53No kidding.
00:45:55Walker's on his streak.
00:45:56I know.
00:45:58He'll be back before bedtime.
00:46:00I don't have to be, do I, Mom?
00:46:03Just let me know.
00:46:05Here.
00:46:09You know, you don't have to give me presents every time.
00:46:12I mean, it can get expensive.
00:46:14Oh.
00:46:34Zoe's lucky, you know.
00:46:37Why's that?
00:46:39She has her mom and her dad right there.
00:46:42Well, there are all kinds of families, Kevin.
00:46:45I know, but isn't there anyone you want to marry?
00:46:48Nobody that I love enough.
00:46:51Maybe you're too picky.
00:46:54Maybe.
00:46:56We're pretty terrific, aren't we?
00:46:58Yeah.
00:47:00Night.
00:47:01Good night.
00:47:04Love you.
00:47:05Love you, too.
00:47:23This is a travesty!
00:47:24Well, if you could have the same conversation...
00:47:26Can you just wait until we get back?
00:47:27I haven't had them for Christmas in three years!
00:47:29The one time you did have them, Robbie came home with a hundred and three degrees fever!
00:47:32Can you please instruct your client?
00:47:33I am not his client, not anymore, not after this!
00:47:35How much are you paying him?
00:47:36I could get a restraining order, would you like that?
00:47:39They're my children!
00:47:41Damn you!
00:47:48I am sorry.
00:47:52You must be Kevin.
00:47:55My, don't you look dapper.
00:47:57It was Teddy's.
00:47:58He's bigger than me, so I get to keep it.
00:48:00Lucky you.
00:48:03I've asked you all to come here today without your lawyers.
00:48:07I'm hoping we can resolve this quickly.
00:48:10Without acrimony.
00:48:17Why don't you come in?
00:48:20By myself?
00:48:21Yeah, your mom and dad can wait right here.
00:48:24You and I have a lot to talk about.
00:48:30Okay.
00:48:53Kevin means everything in the world to me.
00:48:56I understand that.
00:48:58You know he was premature.
00:49:02Did you know he wasn't expected to live?
00:49:05Yes.
00:49:07Six surgeries in the first year.
00:49:10You didn't even want a healthy child, I can't imagine you'd have wanted a sick one.
00:49:15Well, I can see I failed your character test even before I had a chance to take it.
00:49:21I love Sherry, but I was pushing my business.
00:49:25I didn't think I could give a family the time or attention that they deserved.
00:49:31But I want Kevin to understand that I'm here, whether he likes me or not.
00:49:36And if it takes him 20 years to adjust, he's gonna know he's got a father who gives a damn.
00:49:51Hold on a second.
00:49:53Hold on a second.
00:49:57You know, from what I understand, before Kevin landed in your lap, you were no stranger to cell phones and beepers.
00:50:08And you never made a commitment to anybody.
00:50:12Yup.
00:50:18They'll be out in a minute, Kevin.
00:50:23So, you're each seeking custody.
00:50:27Yes.
00:50:30Well, there's usually two options in a case like this.
00:50:33I could give one of you the school year, the other vacations.
00:50:36Or I could rule in favor of six months here with you, Ms. Winslow, and six months in California with you, sir.
00:50:42That isn't acceptable at all.
00:50:45Kevin shouldn't be uprooted and dragged back and forth.
00:50:48No one's asked for Kevin to be dragged anywhere.
00:50:49I'm his father, his mother wanted him to be with me all the time.
00:50:53You can see for yourself in her letter.
00:50:55I've read the letter, Mr. Whitney.
00:50:57You have a very strong case.
00:50:59Frankly, so does Ms. Winslow.
00:51:01I'm trying to play Solomon here.
00:51:04Kevin isn't at all interested in split custody, and I'm inclined to agree with him.
00:51:08He knows exactly how he'd like to settle this.
00:51:11He does?
00:51:16He wants you to get married.
00:51:18Married?
00:51:20He went so far as to ask if I could throw you in jail, Mr. Whitney, if you refused.
00:51:27You mean he actually thinks that we should live together?
00:51:31Oh, he was quite clear.
00:51:33He said married.
00:51:35Well, I hope you told him how ludicrous that was.
00:51:37Trust me, Your Honor, ma'am, we're not really romantically involved.
00:51:44I'm aware of that.
00:51:45But it wasn't so long ago that men and women took a common-sense approach to marriage.
00:51:51It was a legal and spiritual friendship.
00:51:54Couples didn't feel they had to be Romeo and Juliet,
00:51:58just two people committed to making a secure life for each other and their children.
00:52:02Well, we've come a long way since then.
00:52:04Oh, we certainly have.
00:52:06Nowadays, you people are running to the altar with stars in your eyes,
00:52:10expecting violins for the rest of your lives.
00:52:12And when the music stops, you turn on each other.
00:52:15My God, do you turn on each other.
00:52:21I cannot order you to do such a thing.
00:52:26But at least you'd have realistic expectations.
00:52:29You could give a nice little boy a happy home.
00:52:32Marriage isn't based on a lot less than that.
00:52:35We don't even live in the same city.
00:52:37I mentioned that.
00:52:38He seems to think his mother's freelance advertising business
00:52:41wouldn't suffer from being in Sacramento.
00:52:44He mentioned the internet, e-mail, fax machines.
00:52:54I guess I just don't think this is funny.
00:52:59Your Honor, I would give up my life for Kevin.
00:53:02But this is completely ridiculous.
00:53:04And I would give up every cent I've ever made for him.
00:53:08But she's right.
00:53:10Well, if you'd give up your life and you'd give up your fortune,
00:53:14what's so hard about getting married?
00:53:19Look, folks, I'm due in court in about two minutes.
00:53:23I think you should give Kevin's notion some serious consideration.
00:53:27He sees this as the best of all possible worlds.
00:53:30And I'm going to be making my decision before we leave this room today.
00:53:36One of you could end up a very big loser.
00:54:01She's not going to go for joint custody.
00:54:04I know.
00:54:06I mean, even living together, even that.
00:54:08I wouldn't do that.
00:54:10That would be like lying and sending him all the wrong messages.
00:54:13Oh, please, spare me the family values.
00:54:16Well, this whole thing's absurd.
00:54:18Thanks a lot.
00:54:21You're not so sure you're going to win this, are you?
00:54:24Oh, I'll appeal till I do.
00:54:26You're not so sure you're going to win either, are you?
00:54:28Well, I'll match appeal for appeal.
00:54:30Good, then I'll meet you in court.
00:54:32Fine.
00:54:33Fine.
00:54:38I don't know.
00:54:41Do you think we could live under one roof if we had separate quarters?
00:54:45I mean, you know, maybe we could make some kind of arrangement.
00:54:51We couldn't even make it through one afternoon in the park.
00:54:54Yeah, you're right.
00:54:55Yeah, you're right.
00:54:59Forget that.
00:55:03I mean, the trick is to come up with something very clear in the beginning, you know?
00:55:10So we know what to expect from each other.
00:55:14Like the judge said.
00:55:16You're not seriously considering—
00:55:18Oh, no, no, no, of course not.
00:55:20But you got to admit, it is logical.
00:55:22I mean, my house is big.
00:55:25You could have complete privacy.
00:55:28A suite, really.
00:55:30There's a sitting room, a bedroom, an office.
00:55:34We'd never have to see each other.
00:55:36And there's a great room for Kevin in the yard.
00:55:38It's wonderful.
00:55:40This way nobody loses.
00:55:47I'd never take your money.
00:55:49No, I'd only help Kevin.
00:55:51Help, that's the operative word.
00:55:53Absolutely, help.
00:55:56And I'd want a prenuptial agreement.
00:55:59Why? You don't have anything?
00:56:01I'd want to be sure that you didn't think that I'd want anything either.
00:56:04Oh.
00:56:06I suppose it would be best for him, and that's the bottom line, isn't it?
00:56:13Mm-hmm. Yep.
00:56:15If we could make this work, he'd have a real family.
00:56:20And if we couldn't make it work, who could?
00:56:21We're both professionals.
00:56:23We're highly motivated.
00:56:25We're successful negotiators.
00:56:27And like the judge said, for Kevin, hey, it's the best of all worlds.
00:56:38I... I just... I just don't know if I could do this.
00:56:51Are you out of your mind?
00:56:53I hope not.
00:56:55You can't make a decision like this in five minutes.
00:56:58It wasn't five minutes, it was more like 20.
00:57:03What if he won't go through with it?
00:57:05Then that would mean he has a little more sense than you do.
00:57:09Mother, you're just making things worse.
00:57:11You think I know if I'm doing the right thing?
00:57:13Well, I don't, so why can't you be more supportive?
00:57:15Oh, my God!
00:57:17What's going on?
00:57:19I'm getting married.
00:57:21What?
00:57:23You heard me. And don't try to change my mind.
00:57:25To him?
00:57:27Yes.
00:57:29My God.
00:57:31That's what I said.
00:57:33But you're not in love with him.
00:57:35Well, that has nothing to do with it.
00:57:40How do I look?
00:57:43You look like you could be making the biggest mistake of your life.
00:57:47Thanks a lot.
00:57:51What, are you coming?
00:58:05May I have the ring, please?
00:58:22Thank you.
00:58:34With the power vested in me by the state of Colorado,
00:58:37I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:58:40And child.
00:58:42Believe me when I say, I think you're doing the right thing.
00:58:47Thank you.
00:58:52Good idea, Kevin.
00:58:54Yeah, it is.
00:58:59Now, you may kiss the bride.
00:59:16Well, um...
00:59:22A marriage of convenience.
00:59:27Who are you? The Tsar of Russia?
00:59:30I know it sounds weird.
00:59:32Weird?
00:59:34No, weird is not the word that comes to mind.
00:59:38I mean, one minute you're going to steamroll her with the legal system,
00:59:41and the next you're married to her.
00:59:43Well, it's not going to change anything.
00:59:45I mean, you and I have an adult relationship.
00:59:48And, you know,
00:59:49Chris and I have agreed we can date as long as we don't bring anybody home.
00:59:54Mason,
00:59:56do you have any idea how outlandish this sounds?
01:00:01You know, I guess it does, but...
01:00:03I mean, could you not have just moved in together?
01:00:07Well, that wasn't the honest thing to do.
01:00:09I think being married matters to kids.
01:00:12Right.
01:00:14Then let me get this straight.
01:00:16You and I are supposed to continue to date while everyone knows that you have a wife and child at home.
01:00:22You never talked about being married.
01:00:24You like your independence.
01:00:26I'm not sure I understand why you're so upset.
01:00:29I travel, you travel, we...
01:00:31We play by your rules.
01:00:34We always have.
01:00:36Well, I'm sorry, Elizabeth.
01:00:39We have the Ascot Ball coming up.
01:00:42Yeah.
01:00:44We're still on the invitations as co-chairs, and everyone expects us to be there together.
01:00:50After that,
01:00:52I don't want to see you again.
01:00:54Unless it's in a big crowd, in broad daylight.
01:00:58Now, if you'll excuse me.
01:01:00I'm going to go to bed.
01:01:02Good night.
01:01:04Good night.
01:01:06Good night.
01:01:08Good night.
01:01:38Can we let you ride your bike here?
01:01:41Sure.
01:01:54Hey, Mom, there's the moving truck.
01:01:56They're here before us.
01:02:09It's a castle.
01:02:12I didn't know my dad was so rich.
01:02:15I mean, it's too big.
01:02:18Hey, you have all your own things.
01:02:20I'll make your room just the way you want it.
01:02:22Exactly like at home.
01:02:30I'm going to bed.
01:02:32Good night.
01:02:34Good night.
01:02:36Good night.
01:02:39Hello, you made good time.
01:02:41Hey, Kevin and Will.
01:02:43Come on in.
01:02:45Like they say, home sweet home.
01:02:49Please take the bags to the rooms, please.
01:02:56So I lied.
01:02:58It's not exactly like home.
01:03:01You made it.
01:03:09Hey, Dad.
01:03:11How was the trip?
01:03:13It was fine.
01:03:15Will, why don't you take Kevin outside to meet Twister?
01:03:19Who's Twister?
01:03:21You'll see.
01:03:23Come on.
01:03:35Oh, wow, a bird.
01:03:37Oh, wow, a pony.
01:03:43I brought you something, too.
01:03:45What for?
01:03:47Well, just to say welcome, I guess.
01:03:55It's Ojibwe.
01:03:58I know.
01:04:00The store said it was an authentic reproduction.
01:04:02Isn't that an oxymoron?
01:04:03So it's very thoughtful of you.
01:04:05Yeah, well, that's me.
01:04:08Listen, about the pony...
01:04:10Yeah, yeah, he loves it, doesn't he?
01:04:12I filled out an application to Silver Oaks.
01:04:15I don't think there'd be a problem for him to get in.
01:04:19Kevin doesn't go to a private school.
01:04:21Well, I know, but not in Denver.
01:04:23It's different here.
01:04:25It's overcrowded, understaffed.
01:04:27No.
01:04:29We don't have a choice in this city.
01:04:31I have a choice.
01:04:33I want him to go to a public school.
01:04:35I volunteer, you volunteer.
01:04:37That way, his class won't be so understaffed.
01:04:40The reason the school's in such bad shape
01:04:42is because parents like us take our kids out.
01:04:44I won't do it.
01:04:46That's charming.
01:04:48This is about Kevin's education,
01:04:50and you're busy saving the damn school system.
01:04:52We'll discuss this later.
01:04:54Oh, we will?
01:04:56I don't think so.
01:04:58I'm going to Taiwan on the 20th.
01:05:00Maybe we can have a rational conversation when I get back.
01:05:03Stay in touch while you're in Taiwan.
01:05:05I mean, if you're to be a real part of his life,
01:05:07he'll need more than a few hours with you a week.
01:05:09Give me a little credit.
01:05:11I did, but I didn't think I needed to tell you
01:05:14not to buy him a pony.
01:05:16Kevin is not spoiled.
01:05:18He does chores, he saves up for special things,
01:05:20and I want it to stay that way.
01:05:22Maybe I ought to go upstairs and come back down again.
01:05:25Not a bad idea.
01:05:34Hey, good morning.
01:05:36You find everything?
01:05:38We did, thank you.
01:05:40Yeah, one thing, though.
01:05:42Your mom doesn't let you have sugar cereal.
01:05:44How'd you know that?
01:05:46Just a lucky guess.
01:05:48Hey, what would you like to do today?
01:05:51I'm not going into the office till after lunch.
01:05:53Do anything you want to do in Sacramento.
01:05:55Anything.
01:05:57I'm not going to the office.
01:05:59I'm not going to the office.
01:06:00Do anything you want to do in Sacramento.
01:06:02Anything you want.
01:06:04What do you say?
01:06:06I say rollerblading.
01:06:08What?
01:06:10Kevin, your father doesn't know how to rollerblade.
01:06:12No, I can do it.
01:06:14I'm a quick study.
01:06:16Can Mom come, too?
01:06:18She's a great rollerblader.
01:06:20Yeah, sure.
01:06:22I think he'd prefer to have a guy's day.
01:06:24No, he wouldn't.
01:06:26No, it's cool.
01:06:28Whoa!
01:06:37Are we having fun yet?
01:06:39Oh, you're not buckled up right.
01:06:46Have you ever skated?
01:06:48Skated?
01:06:50Yeah, back in 68.
01:06:52You have your wrist guards on the wrong way around.
01:06:54Hmm?
01:06:55Oh.
01:07:18Thanks.
01:07:22You're a good sport, Mason.
01:07:23I'll give you that.
01:07:25But I'll deny it if you ever tell anyone I complimented you.
01:07:28I wouldn't dare.
01:07:31Well, let's get you up.
01:07:33Hmm?
01:07:35Nice and easy.
01:07:37Easy.
01:07:39Get your balance.
01:07:41Push off with your back foot.
01:07:43Lean forward.
01:07:45That's it, keep going.
01:07:47Hey, Dad!
01:07:49Hey!
01:07:51Like this!
01:07:54Oh, I get it.
01:07:56Kevin, stay where I can see you!
01:07:59You go ahead, I'll catch up.
01:08:01You sure?
01:08:03Yeah.
01:08:07Enjoy yourself.
01:08:09I am.
01:08:15You know what?
01:08:17What?
01:08:19I'm really glad you're here.
01:08:21Me too.
01:08:23Aren't you, Mom?
01:08:25Aren't I what?
01:08:27Glad we're here.
01:08:29I am if you are.
01:08:34Night, buddy.
01:08:36Yeah.
01:08:38I like it when you call me that, too.
01:08:40Buddy.
01:08:50He made me floss.
01:08:53I didn't tell him I hated him.
01:08:55Good for you.
01:09:04He's a great kid.
01:09:06I think so.
01:09:09You've done a terrific job.
01:09:11Thank you.
01:09:13I only hope I don't screw it up.
01:09:15Hey, you got him to floss.
01:09:17It's more than I could do.
01:09:21You want to watch a movie sometime?
01:09:24I mean, after he's in bed.
01:09:26I got a lot of tapes.
01:09:29I don't know.
01:09:34Yeah, probably a bad idea.
01:09:36Well, I didn't say that.
01:09:38Yeah, but you're probably thinking it.
01:09:41And you're probably right.
01:09:43Tell Murray I expect to have the coffee to him by Friday.
01:09:46I'll modem the specs and overnight the elements.
01:09:48There won't be any lag time.
01:09:50Well, tell him not to have such long lunches.
01:09:53I'll speak to you later.
01:09:55Oh, my God.
01:09:58Hi, Grandma.
01:10:00Oh, hi, sweetheart.
01:10:02Here, give me a hug.
01:10:04How are you?
01:10:06I'm fine.
01:10:08How are you?
01:10:10I'm fine.
01:10:12How are you?
01:10:14I'm fine.
01:10:16How are you?
01:10:18I'm fine.
01:10:20How are you?
01:10:22I'm fine.
01:10:24How are you?
01:10:26I'm good.
01:10:28Wow, this is amazing.
01:10:30Are you having fun?
01:10:32Yeah.
01:10:46Robbie.
01:10:48Hey, Kev.
01:10:50I want to show my dad your turbo.
01:10:52Yes, sir.
01:10:54That one's Oscar.
01:10:56Guess what the other one's name is.
01:11:01Couldn't be Felix.
01:11:03No, it's Meyer.
01:11:06I get it.
01:11:08Oscar Meyer.
01:11:11See you inside.
01:11:15You got to go, buddy.
01:11:17Don't kiss me, okay?
01:11:20I wouldn't do that.
01:11:22So five me.
01:11:25All right, you have a good day.
01:11:27See you.
01:11:34So far 200 have sent checks and reservations and another 40 have just sent checks.
01:11:42All I know is the hotel needs a final figure a couple of days before.
01:11:46So maybe we ought to start doing phone follow-ups tomorrow instead of Thursday.
01:11:50Oh, I almost forgot.
01:11:52Jerry Irwin from Silver Oaks called and they were trying to feel out how much they could rely on from you this year.
01:12:00Maybe nothing.
01:12:02Why not?
01:12:04Well, Kevin's not going to Silver Oaks.
01:12:06But it's the best school in the city.
01:12:09Yeah, well, Kevin's a different kind of kid.
01:12:11Chris thinks that he'll never be into cotillion and field hockey or whatever the hell they do there.
01:12:17She doesn't.
01:12:19So what's the alternative?
01:12:23Public school.
01:12:27You're really getting off on this, aren't you?
01:12:31Maybe.
01:12:36I miss you.
01:12:37I miss you.
01:12:41You know, I've thought a lot about what you said and I think I would like to try this dating thing for a while.
01:12:51No reason you can't stay over every so often.
01:12:55I wouldn't do that, Elizabeth.
01:12:57Listen, it's one thing when I have to go away on business.
01:13:02It's another for Kevin to ask me where I've been when I can't tell him the truth.
01:13:07Yeah.
01:13:18You know, I plan to dazzle you with fancy footwork at the ball.
01:13:25And more.
01:13:38Hi, it's Chris.
01:13:40Hi. Come on in.
01:13:47Mozart?
01:13:49Yeah, it keeps me centered.
01:13:55You have to eat. It wasn't so bad. Sometimes I even amaze myself.
01:14:00Oh, and modest too, huh? Thanks.
01:14:03It is a little strange eating dinner downstairs knowing that you're up here all by yourself.
01:14:09Is that a problem for you?
01:14:11Well, I wasn't going to say anything, but it does feel a little awkward.
01:14:15I was wondering if you'd mind if Kevin came up here and ate with me once in a while.
01:14:20Well, I bet he'd prefer it if you came downstairs with us.
01:14:24I think that feels just a little too hubby wifey, don't you?
01:14:28Kind of like watching a movie together.
01:14:32Touché.
01:14:35Well, have a nice trip.
01:14:38Thanks. Oh, Chris.
01:14:41I'm going to call him from Taiwan every day.
01:14:49Thanks.
01:14:58Thanks.
01:15:13So when are you coming back?
01:15:15Oh, next Saturday. But you save Sunday for me, will you?
01:15:20Okay. Maybe you and me and Mom can go to the movies or something.
01:15:25The movies? Yeah, yeah, maybe.
01:15:29Okay.
01:15:38What's an ascot ball?
01:15:41Ascot ball?
01:15:43Well, it's a very big party with dancing.
01:15:51Like in Cinderella?
01:15:53Yeah, but there's not a lot of princes hanging out.
01:15:56I gotta run, pal.
01:15:58I'll call you tomorrow, okay?
01:16:17Almost bedtime.
01:16:20Want to read Jumanji again?
01:16:22That sounds good.
01:16:28What's this?
01:16:30Your invitation to the ball Saturday night.
01:16:32Where'd you get this?
01:16:34From Dad. It's for you.
01:16:41I'll go get Jumanji.
01:16:59Oh.
01:17:02Mason would be mortified if he knew you were going to show up in a used gown.
01:17:07They're not used. They're previously driven.
01:17:10Christine, this is not a joke.
01:17:13Look, I haven't bought an evening gown since Reagan was in the White House.
01:17:16This is what I can afford.
01:17:20Passable.
01:17:22But just barely.
01:17:25I know.
01:17:27Something with a little more panache, you're right.
01:17:33Chris.
01:17:36You do want to go, don't you?
01:17:41Yes, very much.
01:17:55Wow, you look beautiful.
01:17:57Thanks.
01:17:59Well, if your dad doesn't come pretty soon, I may have to go to the party with you.
01:18:03Nah.
01:18:14Hello?
01:18:16Oh, yes, Mason. Of course she's here.
01:18:20She's dressing.
01:18:21Well, don't bother her. My plane was late. I'm going straight to the hotel.
01:18:26All right, I'll tell her.
01:18:28Thanks.
01:18:30Mason, have a lovely evening.
01:18:34I will. Good night.
01:18:36Good night.
01:18:39Chris?
01:18:41Mason called. His plane just got in.
01:18:45He's going right to the ball. You'll have to meet him there.
01:18:48Oh, finally. I was beginning to wonder.
01:18:50Oh, you look so beautiful.
01:18:56Really?
01:18:58I already told her. She doesn't believe me either.
01:19:20Good evening.
01:19:23Can you direct me to the ballroom?
01:19:25Um, second level. But the Ascot ball is there this evening.
01:19:29I know.
01:19:47May I help you?
01:19:49I'm meeting my husband.
01:19:51May I see your invitation?
01:19:53Oh, I didn't bring it.
01:19:55Perhaps you have the wrong hotel or the wrong room.
01:19:58May I have your name?
01:20:00Whitney. Mason Whitney.
01:20:20Are you Miss Fenway?
01:20:22No, I'm Mrs. Whitney.
01:20:25Excuse me, I'll find her myself.
01:20:42Boy, I don't know who that is, but I'd be dying to turn up at this waitress nightclub.
01:20:46A woman with a death wish.
01:20:50Chris?
01:20:52What?
01:20:54It's Chris.
01:20:57It can't be.
01:20:59It is.
01:21:04Excuse me.
01:21:10I wonder if she's all right.
01:21:12I wonder if she's all right.
01:21:16She's in private.
01:21:20Some dress code you forgot to mention. Ascot, my fair lady.
01:21:24I get it now, but it's a little late.
01:21:26What are you doing here?
01:21:28What do you mean?
01:21:30Well, it's not a complex question.
01:21:32Kevin gave me the invitation. He said it was from you.
01:21:35He what?
01:21:37Well, after you left for Taiwan.
01:21:41Well, hi.
01:21:44Christine.
01:21:46I'm Elizabeth.
01:21:48I've been hoping to meet you.
01:21:53Oh, I'm sorry.
01:21:55Oh, I'm so sorry.
01:22:02Uh, Kevin.
01:22:06He must have...
01:22:08Hurry up.
01:22:10They might catch you before she loses your glass slipper.
01:22:27Would you get my car, please?
01:22:29Right away.
01:22:40Chris.
01:22:42I'm sorry.
01:22:44That was unconscionably rude of me.
01:22:49No, it's not your fault.
01:22:52I think Kevin is determined to get us together.
01:22:56No, he wouldn't do it on purpose.
01:22:58Oh, yes, he would.
01:23:03You think he...
01:23:10I wondered why you never asked me before you left.
01:23:14Our son has very good instincts.
01:23:18Because, uh...
01:23:20I'd like it very much if you'd stay.
01:23:24Please don't be gallant.
01:23:26I'm not. I'm being honest.
01:23:29The lady in red.
01:23:32The lady in red is very beautiful.
01:23:39She's also my wife.
01:24:10I didn't know you were such a bitch.
01:24:15Does this mean you'll teach me how to rollerblade?
01:24:21Let's get out of here.
01:24:23Yeah.
01:24:25But I gotta go up, you know.
01:24:27Go ahead.
01:24:29Meet me at the door.
01:24:31Don't get lost then.
01:24:40Hi.
01:24:41Hi.
01:24:42Hi, um...
01:24:44Don't say anything.
01:24:46I saw you dancing. It's okay.
01:24:49It's not okay.
01:24:52Mason.
01:24:54We've tried this for a long time.
01:24:56It's never been right for you.
01:24:59You're being very noble.
01:25:01I'm not being noble.
01:25:03I'm not being noble.
01:25:05I'm not being noble.
01:25:06You're being very noble.
01:25:09Well...
01:25:13But it's always been a long shot.
01:25:20Go take your wife home.
01:25:23She's a knockout.
01:25:37You want a drink?
01:25:39No.
01:26:06Come on.
01:26:36Come on.
01:27:06Come on.
01:27:27Mason.
01:27:28My shirt.
01:27:30It fits.
01:27:32It does.
01:27:34It all does.
01:27:41I'm not a substitute for Sherry, am I?
01:27:45I loved her.
01:27:48But I shied away from commitment all my life.
01:27:53Me too, until Kevin.
01:27:56No way this is a romantic interlude.
01:27:59It's way past that.
01:28:03I'm willing.
01:28:05To love me?
01:28:08I already do.
01:28:11But my life isn't charity balls and chauffeured limousines.
01:28:15Well, you gotta give the Porsche a try.
01:28:21And you?
01:28:24I think I fell for you way back when you vetoed the plastic sword.
01:28:29You were so serious.
01:28:34I'm willing to, Chris.
01:28:40I want you to be my wife.
01:28:44Because?
01:28:46Because...
01:28:48I love you very much.
01:29:03I love you.
01:29:04I love you.
01:29:32How much farther?
01:29:34Two miles.
01:29:36Two miles.
01:29:38There's a local saying,
01:29:40that if a young boy makes it to the Church of the Elders,
01:29:43he'll return someday with the one he loves.
01:30:04I love you.
