00:00For my grandpa Buck, farming wasn't a job or even a way of life.
00:11It was a sacred act.
00:12Easy, easy, easy.
00:14For him, it wasn't the frozen tundra.
00:17It was the Garden of Eden.
00:19Does your friend dad know where you're headed?
00:20He knows I'll be home later.
00:22I couldn't do farming anymore.
00:24I was on my way out for some bigger dreams.
00:26This ain't your land.
00:27Well, when you don't pay your loan, it becomes my land.
00:31What was that about?
00:32Where the hell have you been?
00:33Talked to Godi.
00:34Apparently she's got some musicians staying up at her cabin up on the big lake.
00:39I'm Jenny.
00:40Jenny, local musician.
00:41Godi said you might be stopping by.
00:42Woo!
00:43How much do we owe the bank?
00:44You think I like tearing down the little guy, Buck?
00:47You think I like it?
00:48Well, your license plate says A-hole.
00:53I will make a little wager with you.
00:55Let the pack go all the way.
00:56I will give you another year, interest-free.
01:00And if they lose, you sign everything over to me.
01:03Take it.
01:04Oh, we ain't betting, folks, Jenny.
01:06I want to take your tape and share it with my manager.
01:08You granddaughters.
01:09She's really talented.
01:10Yeah, I know that.
01:11You do anything to hurt her, and I will hunt you down, and I'll cut you like a 10-pointer.
01:16Great.
01:17Buck!
01:18What do you think you're doing?
01:20Come on!
01:25I'm going to take your bet.
01:26You better pray God owes the pack a favor.
01:31You know that no one cares about her little slice of nothing in the middle of nowhere?
01:35I do.
01:37I want to hear you before you become rich and famous.
01:40No guarantee of that.
01:42You go chasing your hopes and your dreams, and you forget who you are.
01:46And there is nothing worth the cost of losing everything that's wild and free.
01:52In real life, miracles don't always arrive on time.
01:57And the pack beat the bears.
01:59And the good guy doesn't always win.
02:01You still believe in what we're doing?
02:03More than anything.
02:11Go pack.
