00:00:00Hey.
00:00:01Hey.
00:00:02How was your test?
00:00:03It was easy.
00:00:04I'm pretty sure I got an A.
00:00:05You did?
00:00:06Well, I am very proud of you.
00:00:07That's great.
00:00:08Can we get some ice cream on the way home?
00:00:09Sure.
00:00:10But, but first, honey, we have to talk about something, okay?
00:00:11What?
00:00:12Well, you know that Mommy and Daddy are going to be back in a couple of days, right?
00:00:13Yeah.
00:00:14I know.
00:00:15I know.
00:00:16I know.
00:00:17I know.
00:00:18I know.
00:00:19I know.
00:00:20I know.
00:00:21I know.
00:00:22I know.
00:00:23I know.
00:00:24I know.
00:00:25I know.
00:00:26I know.
00:00:27I know.
00:00:28I know.
00:00:29I know.
00:00:30I know.
00:00:31I know.
00:00:32I know.
00:00:33I know.
00:00:34I know.
00:00:35I know.
00:00:36I know.
00:00:37I know.
00:00:38I know.
00:00:39I know.
00:00:40I know.
00:00:41You know that Mommy and Daddy love you very much.
00:00:42Yeah.
00:00:43Right?
00:00:44Yeah.
00:00:45Well, sometimes, sometimes grownups disagree about things, like where to live and who to
00:00:46live with.
00:00:47Is this about the letter from yesterday?
00:00:48Sort of.
00:00:49Yeah.
00:00:50Am I gonna have to move back to Texas?
00:00:53Well, I don't know, sweetheart, but Mommy does have to go to Texas to speak to a judge about that.
00:01:00But I don't want to move away. What about school?
00:01:04Well, I'll talk to Mrs. Gustafson.
00:01:06What about my friends?
00:01:07Well, honey, don't worry. We're going to try to work it out, okay?
00:01:11But in the meantime, we're going to have a lot of fun there.
00:01:14I mean, you'll love it there. They've got horses and all kinds of animals.
00:01:17No, I don't want to move away. I want to stay here with my friends.
00:01:21All right, sweetheart, tell the judge.
00:01:36There's trouble in Texas
00:01:45No one suspects it
00:01:48When she smiles at them that way
00:01:53Yeah, from Fort Worth down to Galveston
00:01:56She's breaking hearts one by one
00:01:59Mom, look at those cows. Grandpa, do you still have all those animals?
00:02:03We have animals. We have, let's see, a couple dogs.
00:02:07I'm never sure about how many cats we have because we've got coyotes running around all the time.
00:02:11Oh, stop. You'll scare her.
00:02:13And we've got chickens. Well, it's true.
00:02:16Look, there's a coyote.
00:02:18There's fresh eggs and lambs, sheep.
00:02:21We've got sheep.
00:02:22Oh, and pigs.
00:02:23Pigs, yeah. Pigs.
00:02:25Coyotes like pigs, too.
00:02:27Don't scare her. Stop it.
00:02:29I try.
00:02:31Anyway, we've got horses.
00:02:34Still got Nellie.
00:02:36Who's Nellie?
00:02:37If you care to know, Nellie is, well, was her horse when she competed.
00:02:43Yes, I did.
00:02:45It was a very long time ago, though.
00:02:48But your grandpa still likes to talk about it all the time.
00:02:53It's cool.
00:02:54Beautiful country out here, isn't it?
00:02:56Yeah.
00:02:57How about we make a quick stop in town before we get home?
00:03:07Pastor Frank would love to see you.
00:03:10Come on.
00:03:12Frank, got somebody for you.
00:03:16Wow.
00:03:17Hi.
00:03:18Wow.
00:03:20What a surprise.
00:03:22Great to see you.
00:03:23Good to see you, too.
00:03:26Sweetheart, this is Pastor Frank.
00:03:28Hi.
00:03:29Hi.
00:03:30How do you do?
00:03:31Good to see you.
00:03:32Good to see you, too.
00:03:34Sweetheart, this is Pastor Frank.
00:03:36Hi.
00:03:37Hi.
00:03:38Hi.
00:03:39How do you do?
00:03:40Good.
00:03:41And just who might this beautiful young lady be?
00:03:43I'm Kelsey.
00:03:44No, come on.
00:03:45You're not Kelsey.
00:03:46Last time I saw Kelsey, she was only about this big.
00:03:50Grandpa said you baptized me.
00:03:52Grandpa's absolutely right.
00:03:53I did baptize you.
00:03:55And my mommy?
00:03:56Oh, no.
00:03:57Oh, no.
00:03:58No.
00:03:59No, I'm not quite that old.
00:04:00But I did marry your mother and father, though.
00:04:03That's right.
00:04:04He did, actually, in this very church.
00:04:06Yep, right up there.
00:04:07Cool.
00:04:08Yeah, cool.
00:04:09Well, I'm going to show them the sights of Centerville.
00:04:14Great to see you.
00:04:15See you Wednesday, huh?
00:04:16Yes, I'll see you Wednesday.
00:04:17Thanks for stopping by.
00:04:18All right.
00:04:38Well, here we are.
00:04:44Here, wait.
00:04:48Kelsey, get your.
00:04:54Whoa.
00:04:56Whoa.
00:04:58How's she doing?
00:05:05How's she doing?
00:05:09Well, she's afraid the judge is going to make her leave her friends and move away.
00:05:16I can't believe he is putting us through this.
00:05:19You know, it might be that they just want to get to know each other better.
00:05:23Dad, they know each other.
00:05:26They see each other a couple times a year.
00:05:29You know what I'm saying.
00:05:34It's long distance.
00:05:36We live in different states.
00:05:37I don't know what else to say.
00:05:38Honey, you know he cannot afford to fly back and forth between here and New York.
00:05:44You know that.
00:05:45Well, we were just here.
00:05:47It was four years ago.
00:05:52But, you know, then maybe he should have just moved with us instead of staying here.
00:06:23Mom.
00:06:26I'm out here, sweetheart.
00:06:30Mom, I saw a goat and a sheep almost knocked me over.
00:06:35Dad.
00:06:38No one ever got hurt by a sheep, now.
00:06:41And Grandpa said he's going to teach me how to ride a tractor.
00:06:45Oh, really?
00:06:47Well, like I said, no one ever got hurt by a sheep.
00:06:52Well, that sounds like a lot of fun, but we've got a really big day tomorrow,
00:06:56so I think we should just get settled right now, okay?
00:06:59Sure.
00:07:01And we can save the tractor riding for another day.
00:07:05Okay.
00:07:09I'll drop you off at the courthouse and show Kelsey around town.
00:07:24Yes, well, if you just...
00:07:26Hello?
00:07:27Beth?
00:07:29Are you...
00:07:31Are you there?
00:07:34Hello?
00:07:35Beth?
00:07:36Are you...
00:07:38Are you there?
00:07:39Hello?
00:07:40Beth?
00:07:41No, I just...
00:07:43Oh, come on.
00:07:45Busy as usual.
00:07:48Some things never change.
00:07:51Hello, Laura.
00:07:54Hello, Dylan.
00:07:57So, you couldn't just pick up the phone and call me.
00:08:01Well, did you ever think that maybe if you hadn't ignored the summons in the first place,
00:08:04I wouldn't have had to do all this?
00:08:09Don't.
00:08:10Don't what?
00:08:12Don't do that.
00:08:13What you're doing right now, just cut it out.
00:08:16I'm not doing anything.
00:08:18I will see you inside.
00:08:19Okay.
00:08:21All rise.
00:08:22Centerville Family Court is now in session.
00:08:24The Honorable Harriet Kramer presiding.
00:08:27Kramer's the judge?
00:08:30Do you know her?
00:08:32She lived next door to us when I was a kid.
00:08:35I threw a softball through her attic window.
00:08:38Well, maybe she's forgiven you.
00:08:44Nope.
00:08:45No, no, no.
00:08:47We are here for the matter of Hackett versus Connors for the custody of Kelsey Hackett.
00:08:51Are the parents present?
00:08:53Yes, Your Honor.
00:08:55And if the paperwork is correct, the parents' marital status is separated for six years.
00:09:02I believe I have expressed my every intent to reconcile my daughter's relationship with her father.
00:09:08Are you kidding me?
00:09:09Mr. Hackett.
00:09:10Your Honor, my wife moved to New York City six years ago.
00:09:13In that time, I've had very little interaction with my daughter.
00:09:16It was your decision not to come.
00:09:18To leave everything and everyone I love behind?
00:09:20You didn't think I was going to make it, did you?
00:09:22You thought what?
00:09:23That I was just going to get it out of my system and come crawling back here?
00:09:26Of course not.
00:09:28Your Honor, for the record, I never prevented him from seeing Kelsey.
00:09:33You did that the minute that you moved 2,000 miles away.
00:09:36I couldn't see my daughter for Christmas last year because I couldn't afford the airfare.
00:09:39Is it too much to ask that she comes back here for a change?
00:09:42It's not like I never came back.
00:09:44Yeah, the last time was four years ago.
00:09:46Well, you try raising a child while working the long hours that I do.
00:09:50It's not easy.
00:09:51If it's so hard, then maybe you shouldn't have done it.
00:09:54Apparently, she was also too busy to sign the divorce paperwork.
00:09:57Your Honor, our marital status is not the issue here.
00:10:01No, I'm liking it. I'm liking it.
00:10:03I'll allow you to proceed.
00:10:04Our daughter has her friends, her school, her whole life is back in New York.
00:10:09And I'm not trying to take her away from any of that.
00:10:11I just want shared custody.
00:10:13Oh, just be honest.
00:10:15This is about getting back at me, isn't it?
00:10:17What?
00:10:18You hated the fact that I moved to New York and now this is some kind of a revenge.
00:10:22Yeah, my love for my daughter really revolves around a deep-rooted desire to see you suffer.
00:10:27Uh-huh, I knew it. See?
00:10:29What is wrong with you?
00:10:31You used to be sweet and kind.
00:10:32I am sweet and kind.
00:10:34Considerate and humble.
00:10:35You know, I grew up. Why don't you give it a shot?
00:10:38Order, order.
00:10:40It is the observation of this court that both Mr. Hackett and Ms. Connors have some issues to resolve.
00:10:45Therefore, this hearing is suspended.
00:10:47What?
00:10:48For three days until both parties can find some kind of solution.
00:10:52Oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:54You don't understand.
00:10:55I am in the middle of a very important deal and I have to get back to New York.
00:11:00So, if...
00:11:01Apparently, you are unable to properly prioritize your life on your own.
00:11:06So maybe I can help you.
00:11:07If this deal is more important than your daughter, then by all means, you leave.
00:11:10But if you do, I have no choice but to award your husband full custody.
00:11:15That is my final decision.
00:11:16This court is adjourned until Monday, February 14th.
00:11:21Valentine's Day. It's perfect.
00:11:23Oh, and by the way, I strongly advise the two of you to use this opportunity to discuss your personal problems.
00:11:40Well, how was it?
00:11:42Awful.
00:11:43Awful.
00:11:44The judge adjourned until Monday and Dylan and I are supposed to come to some sort of an agreement or something.
00:11:49Poor sweetheart. You ignored him for six years. What do you expect?
00:11:52Well, Dad, for good reason. He's egotistical.
00:11:56He's insensitive. He behaves like a child.
00:11:58He won't grow up and he acts like this is just the simplest thing in the world.
00:12:01Like we should just be totally fine and why can't I just calm down and let's just be...
00:12:06Great to see you, Dylan.
00:12:07Hey, Pops.
00:12:08How are you?
00:12:09I want to go pick up your daughter over at your Aunt Harriet's.
00:12:14Pops?
00:12:15Yeah?
00:12:16What are you guys, like buddies now or something?
00:12:19Kind of.
00:12:22That was kind of fun in there. Kind of like old times.
00:12:25Yes. Okay. You know what? Let's just work this out, you and I. Okay?
00:12:29How about she will come to you Thanksgiving and Easter?
00:12:33Twice a year. Wow.
00:12:36Okay, fine. What do you want? Arbor Day or Summer Solstice or something? What? What?
00:12:41Tell you what. Since we have issues to resolve and we have to come to some kind of understanding,
00:12:45why don't we start with lunch today?
00:12:47Okay. Now you're really pushing it.
00:12:49You, me, Kelsey. I'll make enchiladas.
00:12:52You're serious.
00:12:53What? You used to love my enchiladas.
00:12:56Tell you what. I'll get them started. You guys come on over whenever you're ready.
00:13:00I...
00:13:02I didn't love them. They were... They were mediocre.
00:13:11I love you.

00:15:17This is my homecoming present to you.
00:15:18I want you to have it.
00:15:19Take it.
00:15:20Thanks.
00:15:22Now go sit down over there.
00:15:23I'm going to get you some real food.

00:15:37Are you okay, Mom?
00:16:00Of course, honey.

00:22:10But I do
00:22:14Daddy can I stay over?
00:22:17You're gonna have to ask your mama, please
00:22:20Mom

00:22:56Okay, I'm gonna see you in the morning. All right. Okay. Love you. Bye. I love you, too, sweetheart
00:23:10So, uh, I guess we got to figure out we're gonna tell the judge on Monday, huh, I
00:23:16I think I know exactly what we should tell the judge on Monday
00:23:22You do
00:23:25Dylan I think you should revoke your request and grant me full custody
00:23:32You think that's in our best interest
00:23:37Well, I think that I know what's in our best interest better than you do
00:23:45She needs a father
00:23:50Well, she's been doing just fine without one
00:24:04Three we may have a fourth
00:24:09Thank you, thank you, excuse you bet you're from Tokyo Korea
00:24:16I
00:24:23Know Connors, where are you? Oh, hi. I thought I told you I had that thing back home
00:24:30Yeah, you told me but I ignored it. You're supposed to be here. Remember? Mr. Todd geek who from Tokyo? Oh,
00:24:38I'm sorry. I forgot forget it. We have bigger problems. Oh
00:24:43Parker's projections were off. The FDIC is threatening to reject the merger. What we have to refile it
00:24:50The Fed won't approve the deal. Oh, no. Well, that's not a problem. I can fix it
00:24:56Next week I need you here right now. I can't the judge postponed her decision until Monday Monday fine fly back up here
00:25:05Spend the weekend on it. I'll fly back Sunday night on the red-eye
00:25:09If I leave she will give full custody to Dylan what kind of lawyer would let her pull a stunt like that I
00:25:17Didn't bring one you went to court without a lawyer. Are you crazy?
00:25:23Would you go on a safari without a gun? Would you go swimming with sharks without a cage?
00:25:29When my third ex-wife sued me for alimony my lawyer ended up having her pay me and I still got to keep my dog
00:25:36I didn't want to make a big deal out of it
00:25:38It's a big deal. It is a big deal. The clock is ticking and my future executive vice president is stuck somewhere in, Arizona
00:25:47Whatever
00:25:48Look, I brought my laptop with me. I will just go through the revisions with Beth fine, but kid or no kid
00:25:54I want you on the red-eye as soon as this is done. There's a lot riding on you a lot. Do you follow me?
00:26:00I follow
00:26:03I
00:26:07Did not mean to dishonor our meeting anyone in the mood for karaoke
00:26:12Not doing business and if you ever heard him saying you wouldn't want to do karaoke
00:26:29Wow
00:26:32What I
00:26:36See you found your clothes
00:26:39Well, I didn't bring enough for a week I wasn't planning on still being here it's only four more days
00:26:53Laura if Dylan bothers you this much. Why did you not get the divorce paper side?
00:27:03I don't know. I
00:27:05just I I
00:27:07Kept putting it off. I was busy. I mean, I don't know
00:27:14What
00:27:16Just seems to me that someone who runs such an organized and strict life as you do
00:27:25Would find the time to do something like that
00:27:29Good night
00:27:31Night dad
00:28:01So I'd mommy stop writing
00:28:03Whoa now, you know them your mom was like the best writer in the county and she could have gone to Nationals
00:28:09What happened?
00:28:11She had a bad fall. She broke a collarbone sprained her ankle
00:28:15That was it. She never wrote again. That's why you broke up
00:28:20Little more complicated than that, but do you love her? Of course? I love her
00:28:27I'm up so complicated
00:28:33I'm gonna let your mom answer that question. I think you are ready for a horse ride
00:28:38Yeah, let's find you a horse. Come on. Let's go
00:28:41All right, you think you got it?
00:28:45You're an independent girl, oh
00:28:48My goodness look at that Wow
00:28:51My goodness look at that Wow
00:28:54So if you had some range here and you wanted to control the direction of this horse
00:28:58You'll be able to steer it just like a little car like this. No, no, but with your with your reins
00:29:03You just hold it like that. You give a little turn right there and then you give a little kick on the side
00:29:06Boom, we'll take it nice and slow. How do you feel up there? Okay. Yeah, you're gonna fall off. No
00:29:13All right, you look good. You look natural. Come on Jackson. Let's bring it up a little
00:29:18Come on Jackson, come on Jackson. Give Jackson a little kick in the side. There we go. There you go. That'll get him going

00:30:17No, wait, I you know, I'm sure I know that you're so busy with with tons of cases
00:30:22And I just think that it would be better if we handled this as a legal matter. Oh
00:30:28And for what it's worth I am
00:30:31Really sorry about what happened all those years ago with the attic window
00:30:34I know it's maybe in the city people treat marriage like some kind of game but down here
00:30:39I like to think of marriage as an institution an institution based on communication now, you've got two and a half days left
00:30:44I wouldn't waste any more time, but I your minutes up. I'll see you on Monday
00:31:05Daddy come up here. All right, what do you say? Let's go. Let's go chase after that pig
00:31:15Oh, she's here, all right
00:31:20Kelsey Dylan, are you back here? Mommy getters?
00:31:29You got her are you okay mommy? Yes, I did you all right?

00:31:59Remember when we first got married I brought home that pig
00:32:03It was it was a dangerous pig, yeah, and then you like that pig so much that you named it
00:32:13His name is hoggle hoggle, uh-huh, and you love that pig. Oh, I
00:32:19Tolerated that pig what like you tolerated me. Mm-hmm
00:32:22Okay, you can try and fool everyone that you're like this nice little city girl
00:32:26But I saw you take that hit you took that hit like a country girl
00:32:30It's okay, but still she is a city girl and you have to be careful she's fine
00:32:36Oh, oh, I forgot you are dating a doctor. Oh
00:32:41Wow
00:32:42Well, first of all, she's a vet. Oh my mistake. Excuse me. Sorry and second of all, we're not dating
00:32:47We're just friends. I have known Annemarie a lot longer than you have and trust me. She always has an agenda
00:32:57No

00:34:59I'm so sorry that you have to go through all this
00:35:03And your daddy and I should be able to handle this more like adults, but it's your fault
00:35:09Why did you have to break up? Why didn't we have to move away?
00:35:13Was it because of your accident with the horse? No, no, honey
00:35:19Your daddy and I we fell in love when we were really young
00:35:25and

00:35:36Okay, okay, come here sit on my lap
00:35:46Of course I don't mean you
00:35:49We were too young and we weren't ready for the responsibility
00:35:55So you just couldn't try to figure it out why did sweetheart we did why didn't you try I
00:36:06I
00:36:07Do you love him?

00:36:33And we want different things and in the end
00:36:39Mommy wanted to change and
00:36:41Your daddy wanted to stay here, but I never even get to see him anymore and we never come to visit
00:36:48I know honey. Well, New York is really far away and it's expensive to travel
00:36:54So if you got back together and then you wouldn't have to travel
00:36:59honey
00:37:02Your daddy and I are
00:37:05Thousands of miles apart we are from it's like we're from different worlds, but you're not from different worlds. You're both from Centerville, honey
00:37:15New York is our home now
00:37:18And your daddy's home is here
00:37:23Come here, come here, come here. Come here. Come here. Come here. Come here

00:38:03Come on. Yes you

00:40:41Disconnected to him. I I
00:40:44There's always gonna be excuses. Are we gonna be accidents? There's always gonna be arguments, but those aren't reasons
00:40:53What we've drifted so far apart that was a long time ago now we don't have any
00:40:59Yet here you are you're hanging out with your old friends. You're teaching your daughter how to ride your old horse

00:52:16I have my investigator. I'll look into mr. Hackett you investigated Dylan
00:52:24What's that
00:52:25Well, apparently his company is not doing as well as he says in fact
00:52:30He's burned through his capital and he's running at a severe loss
00:52:36But but his ranch
00:52:39Did you know it was up for sale he's selling the ranch
00:52:47But Sam
00:52:48That's very important to him. It's been in his family for generations. I
00:52:52Know but the fact is there's no way that he can support Kelsey and there's not a judge in this state
00:52:58That's gonna grant him custody shared or otherwise
00:53:06I know I know
00:53:10Have you told anyone else about this
00:53:13Just you
00:53:14Okay, good. Keep it that way
00:53:17You do understand what I said, right?
00:53:19You can't move. I know I just
00:53:24Just let me think about it first, okay, okay
00:53:28It's your decision. But just remember you have to be before the judge on the 14th, and that's the day after tomorrow
00:53:34I'll be on a red-eye tomorrow night, then. I will see you in the courthouse

00:54:32Well, I'm not actually doing it myself. Actually. I'm more like supervising not that you would know because you were not on the call yesterday. Oh
00:54:40I'm sorry. I know I know you're too busy. Hey riding your cow tipping
00:54:46Whatever's you're doing down in New Mexico, Texas
00:54:49Connors, I like you
00:54:50You know that which is the only reason as far as I'm concerned that you still have a job you should be managing this
00:54:56Would you stop worrying about it? I have been speaking to Beth and we have the entire situation under control
00:55:02No, I had a lovely conversation with Anderson yesterday
00:55:09Stop worrying about it. Everything is going to be fine
00:55:13I'd worry less if you were here
00:55:16You know what? If you'll excuse me, Paul
00:55:18I'm actually going to go have breakfast with my father and my daughter and I am going to call you as soon as I am

00:55:37So, how was the carnival it was awesome
00:55:40Uh-huh, mommy and daddy kissed
00:55:44They want
00:55:47They kiss
00:55:50Morning good morning, darling
00:55:53What's for breakfast?
00:55:55Pancakes, so what are you girls gonna do on this bright sunny day?
00:56:01Well, I was thinking that we might go to church
00:56:06What did you say I said we might go to church
00:56:10I
00:56:12Really
00:56:18And today I want to talk about something I haven't talked about very much in this church
00:56:24Hello
00:56:26Something that is very important I want to talk about marriage
00:56:30Now I've married a lot of couples over the years some of whom are actually sitting in this church right now
00:56:36They always come to me with the same wish they want a perfect marriage
00:56:42So today I want to ask everybody here exactly. What is that? What is a perfect marriage a
00:56:47Wife might tell me that a perfect marriage is one where her husband is devoted without question. He's loyal
00:56:52He's deeply sensitive to her needs a husband might tell me
00:56:57Perfect marriage is one where the wife goes out on Sunday afternoon so he can sit down and watch the game
00:57:03Yeah, my point is
00:57:05Everyone has their own definition of what a perfect marriage should be
00:57:09And as long as that's the case no marriage can ever
00:57:13truly be perfect
00:57:15Perhaps the question is not what we want a relationship to be but rather what we need one to be
00:57:21Maybe there's an emptiness inside their soul. They're looking for something to fill it
00:57:25But marriage is not some kind of spiritual spackle
00:57:30See only God can fill that void what we need is a partnership and that
00:57:36Like any partnership takes skill
00:57:39takes effort
00:57:42Look at there. We're on time now go you therefore out to the world and love one another go on. Thank you
00:57:52Oh, you're welcome the shorter and more inspirational the better
00:57:59I
00:58:13Know you can always come to me if you ever need anything ever. Thanks. I
00:58:21Know how hard you've been working to rebuild your ranch and start your career
00:58:26and
00:58:28I know that's not cheap. So I just we told you
00:58:33My lawyer I
00:58:36Didn't want you to know I know but you realized if this got out
00:58:41That's a little bit late for that, isn't it? Not necessarily. I guess I should congratulate you then
00:58:47I don't what?
00:58:49Well, you finally got what you want reason to take Kelsey away from me for good
00:58:53All I'm saying is that you could have come to me sooner. Well, that would have gone over great
00:58:57You don't have to deal with this alone. No, I thought things were getting better for us
00:59:02They were they are they are and what you were just out there looking for information to use against me
00:59:07Did I say I was gonna use any of this against you don't have to I said I want to help you
00:59:12Oh, yeah, great
00:59:13Um, I can't support myself
00:59:15So I had to accept money from a soon-to-be ex-wife the judge is just gonna love that
00:59:18I don't want you to lose everything. I don't care
00:59:22I don't care about my business. I don't care about the ranch. I don't care what anyone thinks about me
00:59:27I'll care about is my little girl. I know that is that why you hired your lawyer because you care so much about how I
00:59:34Feel Dylan. I didn't know what was gonna happen. I
00:59:38Guess that makes two of us. Well, maybe we both made a mistake
00:59:42Yeah, I
00:59:43Think you might be right

01:05:39It's been a long time since I've been in a saddle that's for sure
01:05:44Yeah, well
01:05:47You look good
01:05:51Thanks dad
01:05:54Your attorney called today is staying at a motel
01:05:58Deerfield I think it's right over there by the phone. Okay. Thanks. What are you gonna do tomorrow?
01:06:08I don't know. I have no idea. I
01:06:14I think that's funny. Do you yeah, I do you of all people
01:06:20It's nothing to do
01:06:43You
01:07:13You
01:07:22Okay, yeah
01:07:24All
01:07:40Rise Centerville Family Court is now in session the honorable Harriet Kramer presiding
01:07:46We
01:07:49Are here to resume the matter of Hackett versus Connor for the custody of Kelsey Hackett
01:07:55I see both parents are present. So if there are no objections, we may move forward your honor
01:08:00I would like to make a statement. I don't suppose no is an option your honor
01:08:04I left Centerville six years ago to pursue a job in New York and that job turned into a terrific career and
01:08:13I brought my daughter with me because I didn't think that my husband was capable of raising a little girl. I
01:08:20Blamed Dylan for everything because I never really believed that he took our marriage or being a father seriously
01:08:33But I was wrong
01:08:38I
01:08:40Was the one who left I
01:08:43Was the one who prevented him from seeing his little girl except for a handful of visits
01:08:50and
01:08:51I was the one that was so busy that I couldn't even handle the divorce paperwork. I
01:08:58Neglected my family my friends my church
01:09:04and my husband a
01:09:07a
01:09:08Good friend told me that I shouldn't judge him too quickly
01:09:14and
01:09:15She was right. I
01:09:17Mean look at him. He he's fixed up the ranch
01:09:22He started his own business and all the while remaining dedicated to his family and friends. I
01:09:30Think that he deserves an opportunity to be a father for Kelsey
01:09:36And I have decided that I am NOT gonna stand in the way of that
01:09:45So if you still want me to sign that paperwork I will
01:09:52Thank you very much Laura for that very thoughtful statement now if there are no further objections
01:09:56We may move forward your honor. I would like to make a statement too. Oh, why not?
01:10:01I
01:10:06Miss my daughter Kelsey more than anything in the whole world and these past years
01:10:11Since she's been so far away. It's it's broken my heart
01:10:14In more ways than words can describe
01:10:19But I haven't been totally honest
01:10:22You see
01:10:24Starting a business is not easy and it's not cheap
01:10:28The truth of the matter is is that I'm broke I
01:10:34Even had to put up a family farm just to make ends meet
01:10:40So while I love my daughter Kelsey with all my heart the truth is is that I
01:10:45Just don't have the money to support her in the manner in which she deserves
01:10:52Not alone
01:10:54Laura I
01:10:57Know that our relationship has
01:11:01Had its bumps and bruises
01:11:05And I've found you at times to be uncompromising obstinate stubborn
01:11:13But these last few days I
01:11:17Remembered that you are also honest kind sweet
01:11:24Loving
01:11:25Above all brave I
01:11:28Saw this girl take a hit from a pig like a true country girl
01:11:33Or I think it's amazing that you made it in New York
01:11:36And I think it's even more amazing that you raised our daughter all by yourself there
01:11:43All those years ago I
01:11:46Will admit I didn't follow you because I didn't think you'd make it I
01:11:52Was wrong
01:11:54Should have had more faith in you for that. I'm sorry. I
01:12:02Don't know much about the city. I know I don't know a lot about a lot of things, but I do know this I
01:12:10Want Kelsey back in my life
01:12:13But I also want you I
01:12:16Don't want custody
01:12:18Because I don't want a divorce
01:12:21Laura I love you
01:12:24Won't be with you
01:12:27Except this time for good, so if that offered a move to the city with you still stands. I'd like to discuss it I
01:12:36Love you too
01:12:39I
01:12:52Can see that when I advised you to to discuss your personal matters you took me seriously
01:12:57I see no reason to move further so unless either of you party disagree this court is adjourned
01:13:03Oh
01:13:07Yeah
01:13:10Wait
01:13:13It's Paul I have to take it and it will take one second
