[both laugh]
I missed you this morning. I figured you'd be out here.
[Jack] Yeah.
Woke up early to… say goodbye to Ricky, and I needed to blow off a little steam.
[Mel] Well, looks like it worked.
-[Jack] Oh! It did. -Oh, hello. Mmm.
-[laughs] -[Jack] How about you?
-[Mel] Ah… -Any word from Everett?
-Oh, I'm gonna give him some space. -Okay.
Besides, we have, uh, plenty of other things to focus on.
-We do. -Mmm.
-Like getting our marriage license. -Mm-hmm.
And we have that meeting at the bar this morning.
Oh, excuse me, I think you mean the "State of Our Union" meeting.
Oh, right. Sorry. [laughs]
-We don't want to be late for that. No. -Mm-mmm.
-We still both have to take showers. -I know.
Well, I think I have a way we could save some time.
-Hmm? -And water.
Oh!
-Oh, I see where you're going with that. -Mm-hmm.
-Okay. -Yeah?

First order of business, dress update.
[Jo Ellen] The underlayer has been tea-stained to reach the desired blush,
and lace is in progress.
Next, we have Connie with an update on the wedding cake.
I'm planning to add gold leaf and rose petals,
and four more tiers to the top.
Oh, four more. What? The… The cake is already six.
You wanted everyone to have a slice,
and rose petals will coordinate so nicely with the flowers.
Not to mention the ice sculptures.
Ice sculptures?
Hand-carved by a local chainsaw artisan. It's all part of the experience.
Oh! Does the experience include Sugar walking down the aisle?
'Cause, you know, he's still living in the barn.
I've called every rancher in the area,
and, uh, no one is taking in any more horses right now.
Uh, technically, Hope, you haven't called everyone.
Hell will freeze over before I call that man.
-Uh, who's "that man"? -Roland, her ex-husband.
-The devil incarnate. -Am I including this in the minutes?
No, because it's not happening!
Roland has the largest ranch in the area.
Which probably means he has the extra room.
Hope, if you do not call your ex-husband,
I'm going to need to find a seat for Sugar at the reception,
and we are already jam-packed as it is.
[Mel clears throat] Option one. I… Let's go with that.
Just call… call Roland.
Fine. I'll do it. I'll call him.
Just so you two can have the perfect wedding day.
Oh, thanks, Hope. Much appreciated.
Don't thank me yet. Let's see what Lucifer has to say first.
All right. Flower girl is Joey's daughter, Morgan.
And, uh, ring bearers are her sons, James and Theo.
And Pony, of course, because some animals are allowed.
And Everett is walking Mel down the aisle.
Oh, uh, that's…
That's actually a question mark at the moment.
So should we keep Vernon on standby?
I'm gonna get back to you on that.
-[Hope] Phew, okay. -[Jack] Oh!
[Hope] Charmaine, you're late.
[sighs] Yeah, it was a rough morning. I'm sorry.
-[mouthing] -[Hope exclaims]
Oh, they've grown so big!
Yeah! 'Cause all the little vampires do is eat.
[Hope] Okay, everyone, back to business.
Charmaine, we are ready to see the bridesmaids' hairstyles you have selected.
Well, I'm not there yet, Hope. The wedding's in, like, two weeks.
[gasps]
[babies gurgling]
Uh…
You mean four days.
Four days?
Tell me you're going to be functional enough
to operate a flat iron on that day.
Ugh, Charmaine, you look… you look exhausted.
You know, Jack and I would be happy to babysit for you any time.
-You would? -Yeah.
[Jack] We would?
I mean, we would. We would.
Yeah, just say when.
Uh, when? [laughs] I mean… How about tomorrow night? Yeah?
Yeah!
Yeah, great. Sure.
[Mel laughs] Okay.
All right. Well, I hate to run, but our next appointment is in Eureka, um…
And everything looks great!
Yeah, you let us know if you need anything else from us. Great.
Okay, uh, well, I will need a model, uh, for the hair and makeup test.
Muriel!
Would you?
Okie-dokie.
[Brady] Could you get me a couple carrot-zucchini muffins to go, please?
[Kaia] What is a carrot-zucchini muffin anyway? How is that even a flavor?
-I don't know. I think it's pretty good. -Ugh. Firefighters will eat anything.
-[Clara chuckling] -[Kaia] Right? Sorry, Clara.
Hey, Brie! What's up?
[Brie] Hey.
[Brady clears throat] How, um…
How you doing?
Good, yeah. Busy. Just, uh, really busy.
Yeah. Um…
Me too. Been… busy.
-How are you? -Good. Great.
Yeah, just getting some muffins for the guys.
-[Brie] Nice. -Yeah.
-[Clara] Hey, Kaia. I got your order. -Oh!
-[intriguing music playing] -[Kaia] Thanks, Clara.
Okay, we gotta go.
-Yeah. [clears throat] -But let's hang out again soon.
-Yes! Sounds good. -Yeah.
-[Kaia] Let's go, cadet. -Coming.
So, home health aides can help with meal prep, transportation to appointments,
even housekeeping. Just tell them whatever you need.
That sounds expensive.
Right. Well, I already sent you an application to a program
that specializes in helping Parkinson's patients.
And it should take care of whatever your insurance can't cover.
[Doc] Mm-hmm.
-Thank you both so much! -Oh, no, no, no! It's all Denny.
He did the research. He found this program.
Thank you, Denny.
You're gonna make an amazing doctor one day.
-[Gladys exclaims] -[Doc] That is so true.
-Thank you both for today. -[Gladys] Of course.
[Doc] And I'll be checking on you over the next couple of weeks.
-Make sure things are going okay. -[Denny] Bye.
-[Doc] Yup. -[Gladys] Thanks, Doc.
-Thank you. Be well. -[Gladys] Thank you.
Hey.
-You did a good thing for the O'Neills. -Thanks.
I just see how hard it is for them, and…
well, I know it's gonna be even harder for me.
I mean, Huntington's is like having Parkinson's and Alzheimer's combined, and…
You know, there are barely any facilities that deal with it
because it's rare, and, and…
You know, the care for it is so specific--
Denny, Denny, we will figure this out.
Yeah, but, you know, it's been hard enough planning it for me,
and if the little girl has it too, I--
Yeah, all the more reason that Lizzie should be brought in this conversation.
And I… I will be there with you. I'm happy to, you know, if you need me.
-[somber music playing] -Thanks.
But, um, that's okay.
You know, part of preparing to be a parent
is planning for my family's future, and…
You're right, I can't do that without Lizzie.
[Cameron] Hello?
Anyone here?
Cameron!
-[laughing] Doc! Hey. -What are you doing here?
Ah! Well, I was coming up this weekend for the wedding, but then--
Hey. I got a strange call from a Dr. Hayes, actually.
-Do you know him? -Yeah. Yeah.
Dr. Hayes is, uh, trying to launch a baseless investigation against me.
[sighs] Well, if he's calling me, then odds are
he's digging into your entire past looking for any missteps.
-Seems kind of desperate. -Yeah. Yeah, it is.
And I… I can't believe he's dragging you into this.
No, I mean, I obviously have nothing but good things to say about my time here,
and your patients love you.
So I… I don't think you have anything to worry about, Doc.
-Thank you. -Yeah.
[Muriel] Oh, boy!
I am so sorry I'm late, but Hope and Charmaine actually held me hostage
with a blow-dryer.
Hi, Muriel.
Hello, Cameron.
[Muriel laughs softly]
-[indistinct chatter] -Next!
[woman laughing in background] Yes!
-[Jack] Hey. -[Mel] Hi!
We'd like to apply for a marriage license.
-ID and birth certificate, please. -There you go.
[indistinct chatter continues]
So, your license says "Monroe," but your birth certificate says "Jensen."
Yes, I was married, uh, before.
We both were, actually.
Um, my first husband's name is Monroe.
Uh, but he is deceased, and his death certificate is in there.
So, are you changing your last name?
Yeah, I'm changing my last name to "Sheridan."
[woman] Okay.
So, "Melinda Sheridan"?
Yes.
-Wow. -Mmm.
That's the first time I've ever heard that out loud.
So, Mr. Sheridan, I don't see your dissolution papers in here anywhere,
unless your spouse is deceased too?
[chuckling] No, she's still alive. No, it's, um…
I think your website said that if the divorce was over ten years,
then I may not need them.
[woman chuckles]
Yeah. The operative word being "may,"
which means it's up to my discretion.
-So… -So…
You will be needing those dissolution papers today, hmm?
Yeah, uh, problem with that
is I'd have to track down my ex-wife for the papers, so…
Look, I get it. I wouldn't want to speak to any of my ex-husbands either.
But these are the rules.
Oh, couldn't you make a tiny exception? We're getting married in four days.
Ma'am, the last time I did that,
a woman ended up married to three different men in two states.
[laughs] You are not dragging me into polygamy hell again.
No dissolution papers, no marriage license.
Next!
Okay.
[Jack] Okay.
[sighs] Well, look, if Hope can talk to her ex-husband,
you can reach out to your ex-wife.
-Right? -[sputters] Yeah.
I mean, I think she still lives in Sacramento, but it's…
it's been 30 years.
It's not like we left on great terms, you know?
Well, we can drive up to Sacramento and stay with your mom.
Be nice to see her anyway.
-[Jack] Right. -Right.
[tranquil music playing]
[Kaia] Okay, you rescue an unconscious patient from a burning vehicle.
How many liters of oxygen per minute for a standard oxygen mask?
-I'm sorry, what was the question? -Cadet, come on.
You gotta know this stuff cold, okay?
-Bag valve mask, 15 liters per minute. -Got it.
[clears throat] Sorry, just a little…
Distracted. Yeah. What's going on?
Nothing. Nothing, I'm good.
Just, uh, hit me again. I got it.
Really? 'Cause…
things seemed kind of tense between you and Brie at the bakery truck, so,
could it have anything to do with that?
Nope!
Okay, well, what, did you guys hook up or something?
What?
-[loudly] When? -Hey.
[softly] How?
It doesn't matter, okay?
It was…
It was a mistake.
And I'm… pretty sure she thinks so too.
-But what about Lark? -[laughs dryly]
Don't worry about Lark.
So you still have feelings for Brie?
My feelings don't matter, all right? I just…
[sighs] I wish I knew what she was thinking.
I tried texting her, but…
[scoffs]
[Kaia] Yeah, I…
Maybe she's trying to make sense of it.
Right now, I just want to forget this whole thing ever happened.
And so should you.
[softly] Yeah.
-[Cameron] So, how is everything with you? -Oh, it's good!
The birthing center and the clinic keep me on my toes.
And then there's Mel and Jack's wedding.
You do know I am on the, um, planning committee?
There's a planning committee?
Oh yes, there is.
In fact, I am in charge of the seating chart,
the photo booth, and the fondue station.
[chuckles] Look, I'm…
I'm sorry that we haven't chatted a lot since I left, but, uh, I was--
-[phone ringing] -[Muriel] Oh!
I'm… I'm sorry. I really have to take this call.
-Yeah. -[ringing continues]
Hello?
-Yes. -[door closes]
-[expectant music playing] -[cows mooing]
[horse huffs in background]
Hope McCrea.
I probably should have called first, but…
this way we only have to talk to each other once.
You're a rancher who needs horses. I have a horse that needs a ranch.
-You remember Buck and Lilly? -Yeah.
I haven't heard those names in years. How are they?
They're dead.
But the good news is their horse, Sugar, is alive,
and he needs a home, so…
What do you say?
Only you, Hope,
would show up on someone's doorstep with a horse, no notice,
and just expect them to take him.
Ah, you haven't changed one bit.
You're still too much.
And you're still a judgmental narcissist, you…
Okay, let me try this again.
I have to find Sugar a home before a wedding takes place
on Buck and Lilly's farm, and I'm running out of time.
I've called every rancher in the area.
You're my last option. I'm desperate, so…
whatever it is, just name the price.
Is he broken in?
Sure is. Sugar's the best.
[clears throat]
All right, then.
I'll do it.
On one condition, though.
You say you're sorry.
Sorry?
-For what? -You know exactly what.
[scoffs] Come on! That was over 40 years ago.
Over 40 years ago, I woke up one morning, and you were gone.
There was no note, no explanation.
[sputters]
Just some empty bedsheets.
You stifled me.
-You were so controlling. -I thought we were happy together.
[laughing] Of course you did!
As long as I was your little dutiful wife, you were happy.
My voice never mattered, so…
I left without saying a word.
You did.
Well, there's two sides to every story, I guess.
And that doesn't sound like an apology to me,
so good luck finding Sugar her home.
Fine!
I'm sorry for leaving you without even saying goodbye.
See? Now, was that so hard?
I'm short on ranch hands at the moment, so give me a few days.
And, Hope…
for what it's worth…
I don't have any regrets about us.
Good.
Because I have plenty for both of us.
Goodbye, Roland.
See? I said it that time.
I should have called to let you know I was coming a few days early, I…
-I didn't mean to upset you. -No, no, it's not…
It's not you. I'm… I'm fine.
I think I know you well enough to know that that's not true.
What's going on?
I got the results from a biopsy.
I have breast cancer.
That was, um…
That was the call I had to take.
I am… I am so sorry.
Yeah, me too.
You know, I know some exceptional oncologists in the Bay Area.
I can make some calls and get you seen right away.
Thanks. I'm just… still trying to process.
-[sighs] -[somber music playing]
And just please keep this between us.
I know I have to tell everyone, but I… I don't know how I'm gonna do that yet.
Yeah, of course. I won't say anything. You have my word.
I'll give you some privacy.
Actually, Cameron…
Can you just…
Just sit with me for a minute?
I could really use a friend.
Thank you.
Absolutely.
[indistinct chatter]
Tequila. Neat. I have had a day.
Oh, pfft, well… how about a kiss on the side?
-Make it two. -Oh!
So, what happened?
Um…
I… I've been sworn to secrecy.
Oh, it sounds like someone got run through the Virgin River gossip mill.
[Brie] Hey, guys.
[Preacher] Hey! What's going on?
Hey, Preach. Uh, we're just gonna grab a booth.
Uh, actually, do you want to sit at the bar?
-Do you guys mind if we join you? -[Kaia] No.
So, what brings you two in tonight?
Oh, well, we are celebrating.
Mike got a promotion
to head of Major Crimes of Humboldt County.
-[Preacher] That is right! -[taps on bar]
-[Preacher] It is Captain Valenzuela now! -[chuckling] Oh yeah!
Well, that calls for a toast.
-Oh yes. -Can't say no to that.
[Preacher] Well, it is only the best for you.
-Here we go. -[Kaia] Here.
-Oh, captain, my captain. -[Kaia] Whoo-hoo!
-[Preacher] Cheers. -[Brie clears throat] Cheers.
[door opens]
[Brie and Mike exclaiming]
Congratulations. You deserve it.
[Mike] Thanks, babe.
[Preacher] Hey! Brady.
-Why don't you join us? We're celebrating. -[Brady] Yeah?
What's, uh… What's the occasion?
Well, Mike got promoted… [sputters] …at the Sheriff's Department.
-Huh. -[Kaia] That's great.
Isn't it, Brady?
Yeah! Yeah, that's, uh…
That's awesome. Congrats.
[Mike] Ah, thanks, man.
Guys, it's really not that big of a deal, but my lady's making me celebrate.
[Brie laughing]
Ah, well, I'm beat.
I'm gonna turn in early, but you guys have one on me, all right?
[Preacher] You heard the man. Another round?
-Yeah! Don't mind if I do. -I will take one, please.
[Brie clears throat]
-That's it for me! -[Preacher laughs]
[upbeat music playing]
Mmm!
Now I know where Jack gets his breakfast-making skills from.
[Jack laughs]
Amelia, what is the secret in this?
Don't tell her. Don't. Don't
-I double the butter in the recipe. -[Jack] No, Mom!
[Amelia chuckling]
[Jack] Thanks. Okay.
Mandy said I can swing by around 10:00, so I'm gonna head over there now.
Good thing you kept her number.
I'm surprised it still works after all these years.
That's not her old number. I gave you her new cell.
-What? -Oh, we still talk every now and again.
You never told me that.
-I didn't think it was a big deal. -Well, it's not.
-But, I mean, surprising. -Well, she was my daughter-in-law.
Right! Okay, um, I'm gonna get going.
Okay. Oh, hey, babe. Don't forget, we have to be home by 3:00.
We've got babysitting duty.
You… wanna come with me?
To meet your ex-wife from, like, 30 years ago?
Uh, no.
I think watching your ex-girlfriend's twins is good enough for today.
All right. That's on you. All right.
-Save me some waffles. Bye. -I can't promise anything.
-Good luck. -Ha! Thanks.
Hey. I got your message. I'm glad you called. I was…
Was that my sweatshirt?
Along with the rest of your stuff. You need to take it and go.
[Lark] What?
You… need… to go.
Are you breaking up with me?
Oh, I thought you'd be thrilled to have more time to spend with Jimmy.
What are you talking about?
Don't do that.
Okay?
I know.
I know Jimmy is Hazel's father.
He is.
But Jimmy told me the Emerald Lumber insurance money belonged to him.
-[laughs] I bet he did. -He was gonna give it to Hazel.
He… convinced me that
the only way to get it back was…
to steal it from you.
So you've been conning me… this entire time.
That's how it started. But I already called it off, I swear.
I didn't know you when I agreed to it.
All I knew was Jimmy said you were the thief.
-And then I got to know you-- -[angrily] Just stop! I said stop, okay?
I don't believe a word coming out of your mouth.
You've been lying to me.
For months!
I know.
-I'm sorry. -You're sorry.
But, Brady, my feelings for you are real.
I love you.
Deep down, I think you know it.
Nothing about this is real.
[somber music playing]
[footsteps receding]
[clears throat]
[dog barking in distance]
Hello, Jack.
Mandy.
Come on in.
Thanks.
My oldest goes to Berkeley in the fall.
Wow, you must be proud. Your alma mater.
Almost yours.
Right.
There you go.
Thank you.
Honestly, I'm not sure what I would have done.
It's no problem. I'm happy to help.
Uh, this belongs to you too.
They sent it to me a while back, after we were divorced.
I… I guess I was still your home address.
Uh, there's a… a letter.
I… I should have reached out to you when they sent it to me, but I… [clears throat]
I guess I was still angry with you for enlisting without telling me. [laughs]
Mandy, that was always part of my plan. You knew that.
-You said, "After college." -[sentimental music playing]
Things changed.
The world changed.
I know.
Well, one day we were talking to the Berkeley Dean of Students
about dorms for married couples,
the next day you tell me you're going.
No, you're right.
I'm sorry. You, uh…
You never signed up for that.
I knew you, Jack.
I knew… how dedicated you were.
I was sure the only way you were coming home was in a body bag.
So… I…
I decided to leave first. [exhales]
I get it.
Thank you… for being honest with me.
But not only did you come home, apparently you made a difference.
Yeah.
I guess we both ended up right where we were supposed to be.
We did.
And, uh, word on the street is you're about to marry an incredible woman.
-Oh yes, I am. -[Mandy laughing]
I wonder how you heard that.
It's really good to see you, Jack.
Yeah, you too.
Ah-ha-ha! Here it is.
This was taken Jack's senior year.
Oh my God!
-Look at his hair! -He always wore it like that.
It used to drive Sam crazy. [chuckling]
Refused to cut it, at least before the Marines.
Ugh, wow.
[chuckling]
Aww. That must be Mandy.
She reminds me of you in some ways.
You're both intelligent, beautiful women who lead with your hearts.
Thank you.
You know, Jack and Mandy were only 18 when they got married.
It was impulsive.
Immature, but very sweet.
I was rooting for them. Their divorce was… hard.
-You know, you don't have to explain. -No, I want to.
When Jack joined the Marines,
Sam was upset about it, but Mandy and I, we were just worried.
I was worse than she was, so it fell to her… to keep me sane.
When I couldn't sleep, she would stay up with me for hours on the phone
talking till the sun came up.
Even after…
she decided she couldn't stay married to Jack…
she would still call me, check in to make sure I was okay.
I will always love her for the role she played in my life.
Just because…
someone isn't family anymore doesn't mean they don't deserve a place in your heart.
[sentimental music continues]
Thank God you're here.
We need to decide which baby monitor we want.
We have to return the one we're not using by tomorrow.
This one tracks sleep patterns, has a motion sensor, and a camera.
Actually, there's something I think we need to talk about.
Sure. Can you help me open this first?
[Denny] Yeah.
Um…
So I was doing some research for Doc at the clinic.
And, um…
I realized that there's…
There's no resources nearby for people with Huntington's.
And, um,
the closest long-term care facility that accepts HD patients
is over six hours away, and that's if we can even afford it, so…
Then we'll deal with it when the time comes,
which is a long time from now.
Here.
I just feel like I'd worry a little less if we had a plan in place,
especially for our baby girl. I mean, what if she's carrying it too?
Then we'll figure it out when she's 18, like we said.
Yeah, I… I know.
But I may not be able to have that conversation then,
so I think we should get her tested now.
Denny, a prenatal test has to be done in the first trimester.
-No, I know. I meant after she's born. -Or we could just focus on the present.
We need to finish the nursery, and pick out a name--
-I know, but our future's important too! -I didn't say it wasn't.
Yeah, then why do you never wanna talk about it?
Every time I bring it up, you change the subject.
There's more pressing issues right now.
Lizzie, look, Huntington's is scary,
but ignoring it is not gonna make it go away.
I can't do this.
-[box rattling] -What…
-What are you doing? -I need to return one of the monitors.
Which one?
I don't know!

-[laughs] "Just her face." -[Jack] Shh, okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
Hey, what's this?
Mandy gave it to me.
They sent it to her parents' house a while back.
You got a medal?
-Mm-hmm. -What for?
I didn't read the letter.
[Mel exhales]
"The Secretary of the Navy takes pleasure
in presenting the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with Combat V
to Private First Class Sheridan."
-I really like the sound of that. -[both chuckle]
"Private First Class Sheridan distinguished himself with valor."
"His composure under fire…
and decisive actions as a rifleman
were paramount to his platoon's success that day."
"His heroism,
initiative, and unwavering devotion to duty reflect great credit upon him."
This is quite the honor.
-[Jack] Mmm. -Why didn't you read it?
Because it doesn't matter.
I mean, what happened still happened.
-[pensive music playing] -[baby fussing]
[breathes deeply]
Well…
[sighs] This makes it seem like what you did overseas
did matter.
And you should embrace that.
Because you are an exceptional man.

Yeah.
An exceptional man that you're stuck with.
Forever and ever.

[Hope] Hi.
Good evening.
[Doc sighs]
I haven't seen that file in a long time.
What's going on?
Oh, Dr. Hayes is digging through my past,
looking for anything and everything to use against me.
Jordan's death wasn't your fault. We both know that.
Yeah, well…
Doesn't seem to matter what we know. [chuckles]
-Vernon, you weren't even there. -Yeah.
Exactly.
Well, you… you couldn't have known Jordan would take a turn.
You know… [grunts]
When I was in Seattle…
[exhales] I saw a lot of tragedies
that should have been…
treated before they got to the hospital.
So when… When I came here, I…
was able to protect my patients because I knew them,
I knew who they were, I knew what they needed.
[chuckles]
And I knew little Jordan… loved to play baseball.
Hell, I… I taught him how to throw a curveball.
And I know… if I had been there that night,
he wouldn't have had to go to the hospital where they didn't know
his condition.
And he might… still be alive today.
You had to go to the mountain that night.
You had no choice.
Just like you had no choice with Henry.
You did the right thing, Vernon. You always do.
[exhales]
Right and wrong don't seem to matter much these days. [laughs]

Charmaine… just texted.
She's gonna be here soon.
-Okay. -What you doing?
"Dear Stacie, I'm finally ready to let this go."
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Yeah, I am.
You and I are starting a family, and…
this belongs with Mark's.
[Jack inhales and exhales slowly]
That makes sense.
You know I'm so excited to become a Sheridan.
[both chuckle]
Um…
But how would you feel if I kept
Monroe as my middle name?
Your mom made me realize
that even if I couldn't have him in my life forever, that…
Mark will always have a place in my heart.
And…
I feel like keeping his name is my way of honoring that.
I think that's beautiful.
I mean, Mel Monroe is the woman I met and fell in love with.
I think I'd hate to lose that part of you too.
-[thunder rumbling] -[both] Mmm.
-That sounds like it's getting close. -Yeah.
All right, I better put up Sugar.
Okay, I'll stay and watch the twins.
-You sure? -Yeah! Maybe you can beat the rain.
Okay.
I'll be back in a bit.
Okay.

-[rain falling] -[thunder rumbling]
-[Sugar neighing] -[Jack] Oh yeah, come on.
Here you go.
Oh, it looks like we got in just in time, huh?
Hey, boy, it'll keep you nice and warm.
Come on. Okay.
Okay.
Do you want a little treat, huh? I got something for you.
I got something for you here. Yeah, you want that?
[exclaims] Yeah! Look who's got a sweet tooth, huh?
No wonder they call you Sugar.
[Sugar huffing]
[tense music playing]
[Calvin] Evening, Jack.
[thunder booming]
Calvin.
What the hell are you doing on my property?
See, that's exactly how I feel about you coming around Charmaine and my boys.
'Cause of you, she thinks I'm an unfit father.
Oh, I think she figured that out all by herself.
Back off, Jack. Nobody's gonna keep me from my kids.
That includes you, Charmaine, and anyone else that becomes an obstacle.
[thunder cracks]
And as you recall…
I'm very good at removing obstacles.
[menacing music playing]
Is that a threat?
It's a warning.
Stay out of my way.
[thunder booming]
[uplifting music playing] obstacles.
