Wait for me.
- Let's set it down.
Come on.
It hurts.
- Okay.
(GROANS) - (GRUNTS) All right, is it bad that I can't rotate it that way, or, like, hell, any way, anymore? Maybe Dad should take you to the doctors.
Smart, Stel.
Then he finds out we were trespassing at the Davidsons.
Not if you come up with an alternate cause of injury.
Yeah, because we're all as fluent in lying to Dad as you are? Right.
You're right.
He always somehow knows with you.
It's just me? Really? I could use one last night of freedom, - is all, especially after exams.
- (GROANS) You sure you'll be okay? Yeah, yeah, no, I'm sure.
- You know, I've got to play piano tonight.
- Okay.
And Faye's gonna be at the Sacred Heart holiday thing, so, you know One text from a girl, and this guy is willing to risk bodily harm.
Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.
One text from a girl? All right, I heard that, and who is this girl we speak of? - Augie's new crush.
- Ooh.
Yeah? Hey, Lothario, you check that thing for sap before - you dragged it in here? - Is that a thing? (SIGHS) Send a boy to do a man's job.
WALKER: All right, Daddy, pop quiz.
You, uh, remember this record? - (UPBEAT INSTRUMENTAL INTRO PLAYS) - Yeah? - Someone found their Christmas spirit early.
- Well - (RECORD SKIPPING) - Does anyone else hear it skipping? Please hide that vinyl before Mawline has it on repeat until New Years.
What's up with Bah-Humbug Bonham, eh? Maybe it's the sap, son.
(MOUTHS) Cordell, could you go in there and see if you can convince your railroad baron brother if he can go out and rustle up a proper Douglas fir? I don't know what the hell that thing is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm on it, Daddy.
We got this.
(WHISTLE BLOWS) Whoa.
All right.
I like it.
Oh.
Uh, all right.
Real talk.
Where is Ebenezer headed this year? We totally got to get Mom.
You know that.
- I was thinking over by the pond.
- No, no, no, no, no.
Hey, where did we hide 'em that year that we-we stumped her on Christmas Eve? Oh, yeah.
That was, uh that was the butcher shop, right? It was '93, same year as the Light War.
(MUMBLES) The-the Light War? Right.
I think you're right.
That-that was the year that the power went out, right? What a Christmas.
That's what happens when you follow the rules.
You and the rules.
(CHUCKLES) I'm just saying that it was agreed upon and stipulated by the Davidsons not to use a generator, - especially not for an up-lit Nativity scene.
- Okay, okay.
- But, you know.
- Okay, may-maybe we give the Davidsons a-a pass this year.
You know what I mean? I mean, not like we could use another war right now.
I told you, I can be civil with the neighbors.
- It's all good.
- Yeah, that's great.
No, I Civil, it's all in the past, in the rearview.
Um, and and we, uh you and me we're good? Yeah, man, we're-we're good.
Good.
(KNOCKING) Hmm.
Denise.
Hey.
- Come in.
- Nice.
Nice.
- Uh, yeah.
(CLEARS THROAT) - Oh.
Well, this brings me back.
Oh, yeah.
We are going all-out this year.
How about y'all? Uh, no, I don't think it's in the cards for me this year.
I mean, I'd need a whole family of volunteers.
And nobody's available, so Besides, the morning I just had, I don't even think I'm gonna do the holidays at all this year.
So, just got a flurry of phone calls from North Texas.
An evidence transport vehicle was hijacked by a group of holly jolly jackasses.
Roughed up the driver, took off with the van.
Tons of evidence from the Serano case was inside.
Only identifier is that the hijackers were wearing reindeer masks.
- Reindeer masks? - Yeah.
Where are we talking? Up in Thalia, my old stomping grounds.
- WALKER: Thalia? - Yeah.
Okay, so-so you know all the local players.
That's-that's perfect.
I'll get my stuff, we'll go to your place, - grab your stuff, and head out.
- Uh I can't believe I'm saying this, but, um, Liam should go with you.
Town that small, all the locals just clam up as soon as they see me.
And Liam knows the contents of the evidence van, so - Great.
Yeah.
We'll get on it.
- Okay.
(DOOR OPENS) (PHONE VIBRATING) TREY: You should answer.
If it's Walker, it's probably important.
This is important.
Oh, Mick, I got a big day ahead of me, and I And I came home to a big Post-it note last night.
Please let me explain about him, about everything.
I never should have let it get this far, and I've been up all night trying to figure out how to explain all this to you.
(SIGHS) Garrison was someone who worked with Yvette in Del Rio.
But he also knew the younger me from before, from San Antonio.
He was my ex.
But we weren't a couple who went mini golfing.
We were a couple of 18-year-olds who would knock back 30 racks before the streetlights came on.
So he was your messy ex.
Everybody has one.
And he paints.
Okay, good for him.
But what I can't understand is why you - I kept it from you? - No.
Why you lied and why you kept lying.
He wasn't just my ex.
He was my fiancé.
You were engaged? Did you know he was in Del Rio when you went down there? No.
No, I-I thought he was dead until he stepped out of the car with Serano.
And for hours, I I had him.
Hey, Mick, please.
You can trust me.
(INHALES SHARPLY) I had him and then he slipped.
Right out of my hands.
He just slipped.
You ever have the fork-in-the-road moment where you shake up fate? I lost Garrison the first time because I couldn't save him.
So I left.
And then, losing him again just forced me to reexamine that fork.
I don't even know who I am anymore.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Mick.
- (CRYING) - Hey, look at me.
Mick, I'm sorry that you went through that, and I'm even more sorry that I wasn't there to help you through that.
You are now, I hope.
That's the truth about Del Rio.
(SIGHS) And that is a lot for 8:00 a.
m.
(BOTH LAUGH) Yeah.
A little bit.
(SNIFFLES) But I'm glad that you told me.
Are we okay? I didn't light this entire thing on fire, did I? Come on.
It's us.
It's tricky.
You remember, huh? (LAUGHS) And it's a painting.
Look, I wasn't gonna say nothing, but - it's not that good.
- It sucks.
- Yeah, it really does.
- (LAUGHS) (SIGHS) We are solid, yeah.
I'm so glad.
Because, um, I'm off duty today, and I heard there may be a party at Sacred Heart.
- You trying to turn up? Huh? - (LAUGHS) Christmas time is coming Santa's almost here Maybe he can help me (LAUGHS) Look at this.
The Brothers Walker take to the field to find the perfect Christmas tree.
And question a prolific hijacker.
Question a prolific hijacker.
Yes, I know that.
Obviously.
I'm just saying, though, Daddy was none too pleased with what the kids brought in.
We could be heroes, you know? We could be holiday heroes.
Okay, well, let's just focus on the task at hand first.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay? Excuse me.
You must be Boyd McNeil.
Oh, look at that.
One of Texas' finest.
What's your business with Boyd? There was a pretty brazen robbery - this morning just down the road a spell.
- Huh? What's that got to do with us? Well, this file right here suggests that Boyd "Hot Rod" McNeil is a prolific hijacker.
Might know a thing or two about, uh, freelance work for bigger fish, maybe like Thomas Serano? You're a bit young.
You don't fit the profile.
Maybe I'll pull your file and Good luck finding one.
(LAUGHS) (SNIFFLES) Y'all excuse my nephew.
He's, uh, still growing into his manners.
- Yeah.
- So (CHUCKLES) You know, busy day.
Let's save some time.
Now, I have receipts to prove my whereabouts this morning, even a Yelp review.
I had nothing to do with this highway robbery.
Now, Dan Miller, on the other hand Dan Miller? Dan Dan Miller he, uh, he a friend of yours? (LAUGHS) Well, you could say so.
We dabbled in vehicle relocation back in the day.
Dan's who gave me the "Hot Rod" nickname.
He's also gave me this scar from a ricochet, messing around with some cola cans.
- Just saying.
- You see (CHUCKLES) there's a problem.
Dan Miller lives in Austin now.
Well, I hate to do your job for you, Ranger, but that is outdated information.
He is right here in Thalia, chauffeuring that old mother-in-law of his around.
Curious timing, right? Or it could just be someone trying to cast suspicion off themselves.
Oh, I like to see just desserts go to folks who deserve it, is all.
Here.
As I said, have at it.
We will, don't you worry.
And, uh, you know, hopefully, the only reason we return is to grab one of those Douglas firs off you.
("CHRISTMAS TIME" BY BLACK TIE DYNASTY PLAYS) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) She will know it's Christmas time And we will know 'Cause we won't be able To hide it And then we'll know it's Christmas time And we will know it's Christmas time Hey, man, you, uh you sing or play? Oh, no, not yet, no, no.
My grandma says I have an ear, but I don't know.
Always thought it could be cool.
Uh, you? I usually do the keys for carols.
It's actually kind of cool.
Oh, so-so you're-you're kind of like, a big deal around here? I'll let the keys speak for themselves.
(CLEARS THROAT) (PLAYS INTRO TO "ROCKING AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE") - (OFF-KEY NOTES) - Ow! What, was that supposed to be impressive? I may have had a slight mishap involving a, uh, a hard fall, and a-a bum shoulder, and a, uh, a girl named Faye.
(EXHALES) I, uh, I'm gonna try this again.
(PLAYS INTRO TO "ROCKING AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE") (AUGUST CHUCKLES) Wait, you-you can read sheet music? No.
But, uh, I can read a room.
- (GROANS SOFTLY) - How about I help you out, and you teach me a little? I get a free piano lesson, and you don't, like, face-plant in front of a whole school? Uh, all right.
You know you didn't have to do all this, right? I know, but wanted to see your life here.
And I'm pretty sure the only Sacred Heart event - I've been to was a bomb scare.
- (LAUGHS) D.
A.
Davidson Miller.
Hi.
Ranger Ramirez.
And Mr.
Barnett, right? - Yeah, yeah.
- I believe our first meeting was actually in the principal's office.
- Mm.
- Not my best look.
- Not at all.
- (LAUGHS) But I was hoping to run into you tonight.
- Oh, yeah? Is everything okay? - Yeah, of course.
I just I wanted to thank you.
Colton's been telling me about these, um, escape rooms - Oh.
- That you're doing, and I just wish that anyone would have cared that much in Thalia.
So, thank you.
He's a star pupil, this counselor.
Thank you.
Mr.
Barnett, can I see you for a second? Yeah, yeah, of course.
Hey, listen, I got to go, but you make sure you get all good - and eggnogged-up, okay? - Right.
- I'll be here.
- All right.
- When you need a breather.
- Of course.
Joy to the world The Lord has come - Let earth - Let earth - Receive - Receive - Her King - Receive her King (KNOCKING) Let every heart Prepare Him room And Heaven Good to see you, Danny Boy.
What do you guys want? And nature sing.
You're a long way from Walker Ranch.
Yeah.
Haven't seen you in a while, Dan.
Yeah, great fences make great neighbors.
(SHORT CHUCKLE) I didn't think we'd, uh, run into you up here.
I know this is where you and Denise met, but, uh, you know, obviously, she told us to come up here and check some stuff out.
Didn't expect to run into you.
Yeah, well, I just thought I'd surprise her with some decorations that we left behind.
You always keep your, uh, your shotgun next to your "decorations"? Oh, yeah.
It's right next to my second amendment.
I got nothing to hide.
And in case you forgot, um, I had a little run-in with, uh, a member of Serano's crew, saving your baby brother.
I'm just trying to protect our families, - that's all.
- Boyd McNeil says otherwise.
You're gonna take advice from a local felon? Everything else he told us checks out.
And now, here we find you, loaded for bear.
Just help us understand that, Dan.
You two will stop at nothing to defame my family.
- See, what I'm thinking is - (CHUCKLES) maybe Denise leaves her work laptop unattended, you see the routes for the evidence van, and you think to yourself, "Maybe I'll have some fun like I used to with Boyd.
" Are you-are you hearing yourself? Or maybe it is about paying off Serano.
I mean, like you said, you did kill one of his lieutenants.
Is Northside Nation squeezing you? You can tell us, Dan.
I just can't figure you out.
Must be that perfect hair.
Well, you just got to put in the time and find the right product.
You'll get there.
Now, am I under arrest, or am I free to go? Free to go.
Yeah.
Please, enjoy the rest Liam.
- (CLEARS THROAT) - Excuse me.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) Uh, uh, uh, excuse me, ladies, mind if I steal this queso queen over here? (LAUGHS) You saved me.
I was one step away from volunteering to take the kids to Barton Springs to hunt polliwogs.
- Is that even a thing? - Yeah.
- Cornered by the science teachers, huh? - Ugh.
Guess you are really trying to get a taste of my life here at Sacred Heart.
Yeah, and all I keep hearing about is my badass boyfriend Barnett.
Hey, it's hard to argue with the fans.
How exactly did you become big counselor on campus in only one semester? Honestly, uh I just said yes to every request when you were under.
Exam proctor, parking lot attendant, you know? Wow, you really threw yourself in it, huh? Yeah.
Anything to get my mind off what you had done.
I'm sorry.
I mean, what you what you were doing.
- What I had done? - No, no, no, no.
Mick, that's not what I meant.
Trey, no.
Today is about finally being honest.
If that's something you're holding in, I need you to trust me with it.
Trey, do you blame me for going under? Of course not.
But look, how am I not supposed to overthink the timing? I-I don't know what that means.
Really? Mom Brunch.
Talking about kids.
Things got real, Mick.
And-and-and, look, I know you've always said that you were new to commitment.
But then I find out that you were engaged.
So maybe it's more about c-commitment to me.
- I - You understand chain of command, Trey.
I took an order from my captain.
Oh, he ordered it? N He - Well, he thought I'd be good for it.
- Yeah.
So you decided.
That fork in the road that you mentioned you know I'm on the wrong side of it.
I need some air.
- (MUSIC PLAYING SOFTLY) - (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Ma'am.
Gentlemen.
Sure.
Great, thank you.
(CLEARS THROAT) Uh, biggest burger you got.
And? - The same, please.
- Two.
- You got it.
Coming up.
- All right, I guess we should probably loop in Denise.
Maybe we should get on the same page first.
Okay.
Yeah, sure, great.
Uh, yeah, everything Everything is not good, okay? I've been trying to stay calm about this, - but - But but what? Look, I understand all that that family has been through, but it is hard to walk away from that conversation with Dan and not feel like - Oh, thank you.
- Thanks.
Not feel like what? Like we are living next to a criminal.
A violent one, at that.
Okay, I think we're still a few steps away from knowing that.
- You heard Boyd.
- Ah.
Dan Miller gave him that scar when they were teens, - just like the one Clint West gave me.
- Okay.
I understand your concern that Dan Miller is living next door - to us all of a sudden - Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Not when it comes - to the safety of our family.
- Yeah, but I get what you're going through.
No, you don't.
(SIGHS) Because when I hear a gunshot now, Cordell, I look down to see where the bullet is in me.
Well, um I'm sorry.
I-I had no idea.
I'm sorry.
Um, I think you should talk to someone.
I think it could help.
I just need you to trust me here.
I have a bad feeling about this.
I-I trust you.
But I need you to trust me.
I am not gonna let Serano walk because of some evidence truck.
We are going to find it.
And if Dan Miller is involved, in any way, shape or form, we are gonna put him away - for a long, long time.
Okay? - WAITRESS: Hey, Gale.
- Hey.
- Great.
Heads up.
Oh.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm glad you boys made it to my favorite place in town.
- Yeah.
- You absolutely cannot leave without trying a piece of the pecan pumpkin pie.
Megan back there is an absolute wonder.
- Oh, great.
- Yeah.
Um, Cordell, could-could we have a word? Alone? - Sure, of course.
Yeah, just - You know what? Let me I-I need some air anyway.
Gale.
(CAR BEEPS) Safety first.
Never know if anyone shady's around.
Hmm.
- Here you go.
- Um, so Dan, um, told me about your and William's quest here.
This-this theory.
Right? Yeah, yeah, it's not a, not a quest or a theory, we're investigating a crime.
Just following facts.
You know A-A crime, mind you, that your daughter Denise asked us to look into.
Well, the good news is you're done.
This is the address of a hardware store down the street.
Now, the, uh, clerk there said he sold blowtorches to three meth heads yesterday.
- Yeah.
- (MUTTERING INDISTINCTLY) How does this clear Dan? I mean, I got to say, your son-in-law, uh, stiff-armed every single one of our questions.
He's-he's hiding something.
From us, obviously, but, - you know, maybe from you, too? - Okay, I think you'll find that Dan doesn't really cavort - with these sort of meth heads.
- All right, call it neighborly intuition, but I-I get the feeling that's only half true.
Can you help me understand why you are up here with your son-in-law right now? Dan screwed up last week, with Denise.
All right? He-he missed a counseling session with some bonehead excuse.
My daughter was not happy, and Colton heard, you know, the whole fight and-and I just The poor boy.
So Dan comes up here for, you know, "decorations", but really, it was just to-to sleep here.
Blow off some steam at the pool hall.
Maybe talk to old friends.
Denise thinks he's staying at the Driskill.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
I-Is that supposed to be an alibi? It's just the full truth.
Hmm.
Got to say, Gale, I-I feel like you're you're driving towards an ask here.
Just towards your discretion.
Cordell, it took a lot for Denise to go to counseling.
- Right.
- To try to bring up all that with Dan.
That's the problem with your generation, you know, just always ready to toss in the towel, you know? Separation, divorce.
I bet even you and Emily considered it, God rest her soul.
We're talking about you and yours here, Gale.
I know.
It's just, it's it's a easy out, is all.
Sure.
Sure.
Uh and if this checks out I could find my way to keeping Dan's bachelor weekend between us, but, Gale, if you screw me over on this, then my whole peacemaker bit is over.
And you won't like what comes next.
Good day.
All damn day.
This poor excuse of a lighter just ain't cutting it.
Dude, that's what happens when you make us ball on a budget, Barry.
Don't blame us if Serano's unhappy.
(SIRENS CHIRPING OUTSIDE) (POUNDING ON DOOR) WALKER: Barry McNeil! Texas Rangers.
Open up.
Got some questions for you.
And a warrant.
(ENGINE REVS) Hey! Don't move! (EXCITED CHATTER) Hey! Don't-don't.
Drop it.
You first.
What? You afraid? Am I afraid? All right.
Bring it.
(GRUNTING) You know you could've just dropped the torch.
All right.
Come on! Here we go.
Come on.
LIAM: Smart enough to steal it, but not smart enough to get inside.
That is the real Christmas miracle.
Is it ever.
Can't believe I'm about to say this, but, uh, how about Gale Davidson? Her information checks out.
Yeah, it did.
Uh, good thing we took our blinders off, yeah? But I think we may owe Dan Miller an apology.
- Let's not get too charitable.
- (CHUCKLES) Hey.
Uh, if we leave now, we can get one of them Douglas firs.
Make it home in time for caroling? I know you want to hear me sing.
I've been practicing.
Hang on.
What the hell? Is that the Davidsons? That's the Davidsons.
Hang tight.
I'll be right back.
Just gonna go see what this is all about.
Cordi, just g keep driving.
- Y What? - Please drive.
Well What's going on here? Nothing.
Nothing's going on.
Just I m-I made a call, but you-you just k - if you just keep driving, because - Wait, wait, okay, hold on.
Back up, back up.
What are you talking about? - You called someone? - You have to understand that Dan was dangerous.
He was a threat.
And you said it yourself, you agreed with me, that we just needed more, right? I-I said, I said you should talk to someone.
Dan is innocent.
Right.
I know that now.
Okay, Liam, w-w hold on.
Please tell me you-you didn't I was safe, okay? There were no cameras.
- No one saw me.
- No cam-no cameras? What does that mean? (STAMMERS) I can't believe I'm about to ask you this.
Um Don't lie to me.
Did you call in a false report on Dan's car to get around a warrant? Because if you did Yes, I did.
You did.
(EXHALES) Wow.
That's bad.
I mean, this is bad.
This is real bad.
- No, I can, I can f I can fix - No, you can't fix this.
- I can fix this.
- Don't try and This is not something you come back from.
This is a line you do not cross.
This is the end of a career, Liam.
Your career.
So don't fix this.
You can't fix this, so please don't try.
Okay? You've done enough.
- (MUSIC PLAYING) - (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Hey.
I think I got this whole "being your literal right hand" thing down pat.
- Yeah? - You ready to show 'em what we got? H-How are you so calm? We're gonna own the stage.
Hey, don't worry.
I'll make you look good.
Hey-hey, dude, before you go out.
About that, uh, haymaker earlier this year.
I misjudged you, man.
It was actually fun hitting the keys today.
How about this tomorrow we, uh, upgrade from neighbors to friends? Uh, maybe we see how tonight goes first, you know, but, um, yeah.
Yeah, I could be into that.
- WOMAN: Let's rock - Let's do this.
- Some holiday carols! - (CLEARS THROAT) (CHEERING, WHOOPING) (PLAYING "ROCKIN' AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE") - Hey, Denise, can I steal you for a sec? - Yeah.
You seeing those two up there? The kids are finally making an example for our families.
'Tis the season.
Look, I heard the good news about the truck, but, um, Colton's still playing.
Can this wait? No, it can't.
Can I talk to you privately? - Please.
- Yeah.
(CHEERING) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) LIAM: I ran a warrant - on Dan, okay? - On Dan? - Look, 'cause Gale - Why did you - Why would you do that? - Because I thought Dad, you made it.
Come on.
- They're about to light the tree.
- Hey.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Yeah, yeah, I-I wouldn't miss it for the world.
(HORN HONKS "JINGLE BELLS") Merry Christmas, y'all! - (CHEERING, APPLAUSE) - What? Here comes Santa Claus! (LAUGHS): Oh, my God.
BONHAM: Who wants presents? I know y'all do.
But first are you ready? - Are you ready? - (CHEERING) Light 'em up! (CHEERING) Let every heart prepare I did that.
- Dad, did you know about this? - Did I did I know about the-the Salty Santa bit? Yeah, of course.
Your granddaddy he knew that it was a hard semester, and, uh, you know, he and I wanted to surprise you.
And, frankly, I-I wanted to see him in that wig.
- (CHUCKLES) - AUGUST: Well, since you're, uh, you're feeling real festive right now, maybe, um, what I want for Christmas is a-a pass.
You want, you want a-a pass, for what? I might have fallen through the-the Davidsons' barn.
Uh the Davidsons' barn? Yeah.
Why did you go to the Davidsons' barn? Well, I had to see about a girl.
(CLEARS THROAT) Right.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
- Yeah, we'll figure it out.
- Okay.
- (CLEARS THROAT) - Okay, that hurts.
Oh, yeah.
Wasn't supposed to snow tonight, was it? Lot of stuff wasn't supposed to happen tonight, I think.
- (SIGHS) - Look, hey.
I know I stepped in it today.
But I've been thinking, and I'm glad I did it.
That I stepped in it.
Too much has been unsaid between us lately, Mick.
Are you glad I told you the truth? I-I think it raised as many questions as it answered, but yeah, I'm glad.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) - (CHUCKLES) - You totally should have picked up when Walker called.
- I really should have.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
But now I know how you really feel.
Always got someone Still don't know what to do with it.
Or how we move forward.
I think we do Maybe.
And neither of us wants to say it.
If true love is meant to be Don't you Want to be happy? The church painting.
That was where Garrison and I were supposed to get married.
You've got to know you were telling me something the minute that you hung that up in our home.
I think you're right.
About what you said before.
Neither of us wanting to say it? But we should.
We should say it.
(SNIFFLES, CRYING) Would you? It wasn't supposed to snow tonight.
A lot of things weren't supposed to happen tonight.
Trey.
I need to go home.
Back to San Antonio.
I need to figure out how I got here.
Otherwise I don't think I can make it back.
Don't you Want to be happy? I do But not if it's free I love you.
(EXHALES): Oh, God.
Please tell me there's something I can say to make you change your mind.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) Have you ever spent so much time trying to prove you could do what everyone says you couldn't you just lost track of why you're doing it at all? You've done it, Ramirez.
You're doing it.
It's not easy, but you're doing it.
Hey.
Cap.
Hey.
Thought I might find you here.
Uh I-I talked to Trey.
And, uh If-if this is, uh happening, then I-I think I should say We don't need to say goodbye.
We don't need to do that.
Well, I need to say this.
Uh Will I see you When you met me I had just come back from being under, and that takes a toll.
I know.
You helped me, Micki.
You helped me m-more than I can explain.
And I should have reached out to you more.
No.
I'm trying to look at the positive here.
Everything that happened it gave me this clarity.
I want to love my job, this place.
I used to.
Close in mine? Gentles, do not reprehend.
If you pardon, we will mend.
Give me your hands if we be friends.
(BOTH CHUCKLE) Okay, I-I don't know what y'all are doing right now.
(BOTH LAUGH) (LAUGHS SOFTLY) Thank you for taking a chance on me, sir.
It wasn't a chance, Micki, it was one of the smartest things I ever did.
Yeah.
I just hope I wasn't a disappointment Don't even finish that sentence.
Door's always open, all right? The story sounds the same And you'll you'll always be my family, Beau.
But I could sit here Back at you, Flor.
One last flash of color Before we're done Ooh Every day we start again It's a privilege.
Ooh One less thing to keep One less thing to hide away Ooh Every day we start again Ooh One less thing to keep One less thing to hide away.
