There was thisemergency at work,
and with Wes workingin Philadelphia,
and I couldn'treach anyone-
and with Wes workingAbs, it's no problem.
It was fun.
But in that case, Iwas wondering actually
if I could askanother favor.
It's about Carrie'sbirthday party.
Since you have a truck, I waswondering if you could pick up
some party suppliesfor me in Baltimore?
Of course, happy to help.
Well, I loveyour new song...
Good, because it'sthe only one of our songs
that KAP Recordsdoesn't own.
Maybe it'll bemy next release.
How are thingsgoing with that?
Last I checked, eight hundredthousand and something views.
You don't soundthat impressed...
It's nice to havea little notoriety,
but it's notmy first rodeo.
You never know where thisis going to take you, right?
Right now, I'mhappy where I'm at.

Let's go to Philly.

What are you doing?
Trying to saveour relationship.
But we just started it.
Right, which gives usapproximately three weeks

Three weeks?

My track record isless than stellar.
However, thanks toBree's self-help section,
I found this...
However, thanks toAccording to Ms. Singbeil,
we have to get througheight stages of love
to achieve a strongAand lasting relationship,

I do not like conflict.
Yeah, I try toavoid it myself.
But we can't.
We have to fightand make up,
so we can get throughall eight stages.
But that takes...
Two years?
Yeah, but we have to get therebefore stage three breaks us up.
You're not suggesting...
Oh, I'm morethan suggesting.
We're going to get throughall eight stages in two days,

Hey.
Hi.
So when are gonna have thatconference call with Matt Fox?
We're not.
I just got offthe phone with him.
What is it?
Matt Fox is pullingout of the deal.
What?
He agreed to go 50/50 withyou to develop the Trust,
and he believesthat you no longer
have his bestinterests in mind.
I've done nothing disloyal.
You chose not to goafter your brother
and he said that showslack of killer instinct.
Wait a minute.
He gives me falseinformation that'll destroy
my brother's reputationand I don't use it.
That's lack ofkiller instinct?
You know Fox,business is business.
Tell you what, I'lljump in our plane,
fly it up to New York,and talk to him directly.
Dad, he's done.
All right, thenI'll call him.
That is notgonna go well.
Somebody needs to tellhim that he's wrong.
Got the art book,now the party.
Barbecue, bouncehouses, streamers,
entertainment,what am I forgetting?
Cake?
Cake? No, Abby'sgot that one.
So, have youfound a job yet?
No, not yet.
Dad was kind of rightabout finding work
after leaving Bennett,Beecham & Findlay.
Apparently leaving agiant firm immediately after
passing the bar isn't exactlyseen as the most desirable.
I'm sorry.
What are you doing?
I'm just picking upmore research work.
With friends?
Yes momma, friends.

Wow!
You are really doing it.

Mark Hall.
Trace, Leigh.
Love the new song.
I like your place.
It has a nice feel to it.
Mark, let's justcut to the chase.
Why are you here?
Because I've been doingthis for almost 30 years,
and I haven'talways been perfect,
but I didn't feel itwhen you were in my studio.
Something wasn't working.
So now you're convinced?
I saw what I wasSomemissing that nightng.
you performedSo nat the showcase,ced?
but I was too proudand stuck to my guns.
But you had a differentenergy that night on stage,
as a band, it was a feelingI couldn't get in the studio.
And for that, I'm sorry.
No offense Mark,but we've moved on.
But we appreciate youcoming by, clearing the air.
No offense Mark,butRight, Trace?on.
No, I don't think so.
NoYou tried tok,buget rid of Leigh.
and turn me intosome kind of teen idol,
then you banned mefrom your offices
and now you're here withyour tail between your legs
because you sawthe response
that video wasgetting on the internet.
Maybe, and maybe Iwanted to take a shot
at making thingsgetright between us.net.
Maybe, and maybe IwanteYeah well...shot
we heard you.
Tell you the truth, I was abit surprised when I heard
you started looking for anew label and not go indie.
After everythingthat's happened,
I was sureyou'd go it alone.
Yeah, I'm a bitsurprised myself.
What did you do?
Nothing.
I just told a few peopleat the Palace that
we wouldn't mind signingwith a new label.
John, we agreed torelease independently.
we wIt wasn't aboutgningwiththe money.el.
I got bills to pay.
After 20 years ofdoing session work
and now I finally havea chance to make it?
Yeah Trace, it's kindof about the money, too.
So, if we're going to getthrough stage three and four,
conflict and expectations, weneed something to fight about.
But we never fight.
I know, right?
But we've gottathink of something.
Is someone moving in?
Aren't those the boxes from thebook publisher you ordered from?
Uh-oh.
Thank you.
This looks like a lotmore than 100 books.
I was just gonnasay that...
I ordered 1,000?
That's not good.
This is all your fault!
What?
You distracted me.
I did?I'm sorry.
I knew you were gonnasay sorry right away.
And I knew you weregonna forgive me.
This is great.
Stage three and four:conflict and expectations.
We fought, but we knew wewere gonna make up right away.
We did it!
And in the process,we killed a bookstore.
And my sister'sgoing to kill me.
You're early.
Well, it's always nice toget a jump on the competition.
I thought we were past that?
I'm talking aboutthe Bald Eagles.
We both go afterI thougthe same fish.t that?
You still hittingthe same spot?
Opposite side of the jetty.
How'd you do?
Not as well as they did.
I'm hoping I havebetter luck with you.
I'm not giving in on theNorth Shore Commercial Area.

we can actually pareit baFootprint.cent.

I'm not talkingabout nature quiet,
I mean there aren'tany any people here,
people working.
Yeah well, there's notelling with work crews.
They're probably onthe property somewhere.

It just doesn't seem likeyou to be working a property
and not keeping the momentumof the build going.

There is a tradition,an Irish tradition,
that when a young ladyreaches the age of ten,
she gets to havea proper tea party.

So happy birthday, sweetheartHappy birthday, Carrie!
You know, I remember my10th birthday tea party.
It was the first timeyou let me wear make-up.
Yes it was.
It was just lip glosswith a little touch of pink,
but your mommafelt very grown up.
So girls, did you know youcan tell a lot about someone
by reading theirtea leaves?
I studied it in the Tea LeafWizarding School in Tibet.
What does ours say?
You want to try it?
Sure.
Okay, close youreyes and make a wish.
Check it out.
Oh yes, they'recoming to me.
They're saying thatsomeone is having
a princess birthdayparty coming up.
That's me!
Oh no, they're sayingyou and your sister
are not readyfor the party.
Why not?
Because princessesneed princess dresses.
Oh my God,they're so pretty!
Let's go try'em on, okay?
Oh, they'reso adorable!
Is Wes going tomake the party?
Oh yes of course,he wouldn't miss it.
He says that he'ssad he won't be able

But Trace has.
The girls reallyseem to like him.
Yes, they doand he likes them.

I think Mickand I are finally
starting to understandone another.
Well, they sayit's never too late.
So, you think that you and hemight be reaching a compromise?
It's going slow,but it's going.
It was nice out thereat the Trust today.
It was quiet.
It was nice out thereWith all the construction?
Mick's team wasn't working.
Mick's crew nevereven takes a day off.
That's what I thought, butMick's been taking more time
off lately, maybe he'sbacking off his crews too.
Mick? No.
I think you need totalk to him straight out.
Because he on thephone this morning
and he was yelling attaMatt Fox in New York.t.
I didn't think youcould yell at that guy.
anWell, he ended upattaMahanging up on him,.t.
I didn't think youcoso I guess Mick can..
That's Mick.
He never backs down.
Then we spent three hourslistening to a bunch of suits
tell us that they see usas straight ahead country
with a hint of James Taylor.
Kind of bare bones, modern folk,but not afraid to go outlaw.
Wow, they got all thatfrom a one hour set?
Yup, and they allpromised creative freedom
and artist friendly deals.
They're all just telling uswhat they think we want to hear.
So, what do youand arwant to hear? deals.
That's just it...
I'm not sure.
And you can'tjust do it your way?
Not unless I wantto lose my band.
Even Leigh'sreconsidering.
Because of this video,
she thinks it's goingto be different.
And you?
I've heard it all before.
Well, thank youfor doing this.
I wouldn't have asked you,but Wes is working and--

Yeah, I know.
Thank you.
Of course.
I'll see you later.
Bye.
Okay, so stage fiveis the power struggle.
It's where we mould ourbeliefs into what's best for us.
It's about subverting ourbeliefs into a common goal.
What's best for meright now is to sell
998 books in thenext ten hours.
We sold two books?
I bought two.
Which two?
I don't remember.
Why won't you letme return these?

but the school won'tbudget for new books.
Anyway, greatto see you Jess.
but I should go,on'tbudnice to see you.s.
What are we going to do?
I don't know.
But whatever it is,we'll do it together.
Subverting our beliefsinto a common goal.
Stage five.
Stage five!
Tom told me about you,and about your family.
It must be wonderfulhaving so many people
who love oneanother so much.
It is.
He told me alot about you, too.
Really?
Yeah.
He told me how importantyou were to him.
It's really hard to losethe people you love the most.
He told me how importantyou wYeah.o him.
Tom shouldn't be dead, he shouldtbe here with you right now..
We were heading back at theend of the day to the outpost
and he was sittingin the front seat-
Kevin, I'm glad you came,
but if you're here totell me about my son,
I'll stay and listen.
But Tom, when he was here,was all about living.
I just can't stopthinking about it.
Tom lived his life theway he wanted to live it.
He knew who he wasand what he wanted to be.
And what hetold me about you,
well that's whathe'd want for you, too.
It's just not easy.
But the answersaren't that hard.
I picked up the rest ofCarrie's party supplies.
Bouncy house and all.
That's nice.

Let me askyou something.
When you're puttinga deal together,
partnering with someone,
how do youprotect yourself?
I don't think youpacan, not completely.e,
So you're saying just rollthe dice and pick someone?
No I'm not saying that,
I'm saying there's alwaysan element of risk involved.
It's not so muchabout what they promise,
but about what they'rewilling to sacrifice.
Like a show of good faith?
Exactly.
What they'rewilling to give up
will tell you all you needto know about somebody.
Thanks Mick!
It may not be true,but it's the best I got.

Okay, well I'vebeen thinking a lot
about medical school lately.
And thinking about how Ileft halfway through last time.
And, now that I'mlooking to go back,
I've been wondering why.
I don't wantto be a doctor.
What?
But I love helpingpeople and I love medicine,
so I'm going tobe a paramedic.
Well, that's justterrific honey!
It's about time youmade that decision.
We've knownthat for a month.
Of course.
Six execs, sixdifferent labels.
I don't knowabout you guys,

You did.
So why're you here?
What's thatsupposed to mean?
Whether or not youre-sign with me,
I did you guys wrong.
This is my way of showingyou what I'm willing to give up
