0:00Jacob, take the money. Your fiance is
0:02with me now.
0:05>> The engagement's off. My daughter is the
0:07prettiest girl for miles. Look at your
0:09raggedy ass. You can't even afford a
0:12black and white TV. How are you going to
0:14support her?
0:15>> Tessa, is this what you want, too?
0:20>> Jacob, we're just not right for each
0:22other.
0:22>> My daughter has to marry the big man
0:24like Calvin to have a good life. Calvin
0:27Barrett said that if I stay with him,
0:30he'll take me to the city next month to
0:32buy a condo with AC and he'll buy me a
0:35gold necklace. You can't give me any of
0:37that. I don't want to be with you for
0:38the rest of my life. Scraping for food
0:41in the boonies, budgeting for every
0:43bottle of lotion. [music]
0:45Just let me go. This arranged marriage
0:47doesn't count anymore.
0:49>> Oh, Tessa really moved up in the world.
0:51The guy in the Santana is a steel trader
0:53from town. The big man, Calvin. I know,
0:57right? Calvin has connections
0:58everywhere. If Jacob tries to fight back
1:00today, he's going to get the beating of
1:02his life.
1:03>> Poor kid has a hard life. His parents
1:05are gone and now his fianceé ran off.
1:08>> We're all men here. Real men. Get to the
1:11point. Tessa is my woman now. She's not
1:13staying in the boonies anymore. This
1:15$2,000. Consider it compensation for the
1:18time Tessa wasted on you. Or just call
1:20it a breakup fee.
1:24Calvin, right? H what? Not enough for
1:27you? It is a bit pathetic. Buying a
1:30woman for only $2,000.
1:33Selling a truckload of defective steel
1:35in town would earn you more than that,
1:38wouldn't it?
1:40>> Uh, has Jacob lost it? What did you say?
1:43I said the [ __ ] you picked up isn't
1:45even worth the $2,000 on the ground.
1:50>> Jacob, you little brat. Who are you
1:52calling a [ __ ]
1:53>> Brat? I tried to be nice and you threw
1:56it in my face. Calvin, take the money
1:58back. Don't give him a single scent. Let
2:01him starve to death in the boonies.
2:03>> Kid, I think you've got a death wish.
2:05Anyone in Langston County who talks to
2:07me like that is already a dead man.
2:11>> Keep an eye on your woman. If she calls
2:14off the wedding for a condo today,
2:16she'll leave you for a mansion tomorrow.
2:18[music]
2:22Huh?
2:22>> You son of a [ __ ] I'm going to blow
2:24you away today. If you missed, I'm your
2:27daddy.
2:29[music]
2:32Fine, you've got the balls. I will
2:34remember this debt. You'd better pray
2:36you don't run into me in town.
2:38>> Tessa, get in the car. Don't waste your
2:40breath on this mad dog.
2:46[music]
2:52What's going on?
3:03>> Why is it raining so hard tonight?
3:15My great-grandfather was an accountant
3:17for a landlord. Did he hide some
3:19treasure under the wall before he died?
3:28Oh my god, it's gold bars. A whole box
3:30of them. In 1993, this money could have
3:33bought dozens of luxury cars. If I
3:34parked them at the village entrance, I
3:36could throw the money in Calvin's face
3:38and make him pick it up on his knees.
3:40I'm rich. I'm really rich.
3:44No. If I take out dozens of pounds of
3:46gold at once, it won't be a fortune.
3:49It'll be a disaster.
3:51Great grandfather, you left me
3:53life-changing money, but it's also a
3:55death warrant.
4:06These 28 gold bars are my insurance
4:08policy. I won't show them until I'm
4:10strong enough.
4:15I'm heading to the pawn shop in the city
4:16tomorrow morning. These two will be my
4:19startup capital.
4:37These two gold bars are enough to change
4:39my life. I can't leave any room for
4:42doubt. This is Old Elm Street, the
4:45city's hub for antique pawn shops.
4:50Ever trust Pawn, a long-standing
4:52establishment. This is the one.
4:59Take your begging to the back door. Take
5:01your junk to the scrapyard on the
5:02corner.
5:08>> I'm here to pawn something.
5:09>> Hump. What are you pawning? Your whole
5:11outfit is worth more than a couple of
5:13bucks.
5:20Pure gold. Young man, is this legit?
5:23>> Don't worry, it's clean. It's a family
5:25heirloom. My great-grandfather kept it
5:27from his days as a landlord's
5:28bookkeeper. Hey, heirlooms are good.
5:31Heirlooms are lowmaintenance. Loan or
5:33outright sale? How does a loan work? How
5:35does a sale work? For a loan, I'll give
5:37you a ticket. 3% interest, 10,000 a bar.
5:41No ticket for an outright sale. Once you
5:43walk out that door, the deal's final.
5:45This is a reputable shop. I won't screw
5:46you over. 25,000 a bar. You're trying to
5:48play me because you think I don't know
5:50my stuff. Each of these bars is 10
5:53ounces. By the old standard, 16 ounces
5:56make a pound. 1 oz is 31.25 g. That's
5:59312 g a bar. Two bars of pure gold like
6:02this are worth at least 80,000. You're
6:05offering 50,000. I'm not pawning them.
6:08You know your way around, kid. Cool.
6:11Fine. I can see you're meant for big
6:13things. 90,000 for an outright sale. I
6:17have to take some risk. That's my final
6:19offer.
6:20>> Deal. Give me the money. Large bills
6:22only.
6:23>> Count it.
6:24>> No need. Ever trust Pawn's reputation is
6:26worth 90,000. What's your name, kid?
6:29>> Not necessary.
6:32A true master hides in plain sight.
6:34Langston County is about to see a real
6:36powerhouse.
6:42Uncle Carter,
6:44about your called off engagement with
6:46Tessa. I heard about it. No hard
6:48feelings. Calvin is rich and powerful.
6:50He's untouchable. Tomorrow, I'll go to
6:53the next village. I'll ask matchmaker to
6:55find you a decent girl. A downto-earth
6:57girl who can farm is better than
6:58anything.
6:59>> Uncle, I'm here to talk about a big
7:01business deal today.
7:03>> Business? You don't even have money for
7:05a pack of cigarettes. What kind of
7:06business?
7:12>> [music]
7:17>> This Jacob. Did you rob a bank?
7:24I'm leasing all 3,000 acres of the
7:27wasteland on the East Ridge. The term is
7:2950 years. 50 years. 3,000 acres. Jacob,
7:34what's gotten into you? The East Ridge
7:36is nothing but rocks and dirt. Not even
7:38grass grows there. Why lease it? And
7:41this money, be honest with me. Where did
7:43it really come from?
7:45I hope you didn't get into trouble in
7:47the city, Uncle Carter. As for whether
7:50the money is clean, just look at the
7:52bank seals and you'll know. My
7:54great-grandfather left something behind.
7:56I found it. The source is totally
7:58legitimate.
8:00Even if the money is earned, leasing
8:02that wasteland is still money down the
8:04drain. I can't just watch you jump into
8:06a fire,
8:07>> Uncle Carter. The dirt road the village
8:10built last year, we still owe the
8:11contractor 5,000, right? It hasn't been
8:13paid back yet, has it?
8:14>> Why bring that up? The town's budget is
8:17tight. They won't release the funds.
8:19[music]
8:21>> This 10,000 is for the village's road
8:23debt. It's separate from the lease fee.
8:2520,000 for the lease, 10,000 for the
8:28road, 30,000 in cash to buy the 50-year
8:31usage rights for those 3,000 acres of
8:33wasteland. Jacob, are you serious?
8:36Uncle, are you going to sign? Give me
8:38the pen. I'm in a hurry.
8:44Uncle Carter, I need a favor. Go to the
8:46station and get on the loudspeaker. Call
8:48everyone in the village to the yard. I
8:51have work for them. What kind of work?
8:54Clearing the land. Farming. Hey,
8:57everyone, listen up. Everyone, gather at
8:59the community center. Bring your hose
9:01and shovels. There's a big gig for you,
9:04Uncle Carter.
9:05>> It's scorching out. What's the job? Is
9:07the town handing out relief supplies?
9:09>> It's not me looking for you. It's Jacob.
9:11Jacob? He leased those 3,000 acres of
9:13wasteland at East Ridge today. He's
9:15hiring people to clear the land.
9:17>> Uncle Carter, stop joking. Calvin just
9:19threw money in Jacob's face this
9:21morning. He can't even afford a meal.
9:23How can he lease East Ridge? Jacob, did
9:25calling off the engagement fry your
9:27brain?
9:28>> Exactly. That ridge is nothing but
9:29rocks. Only a fool would lease that.
9:32>> Jacob, that $2,000 Calvin gave you to
9:34break up, did you go back and pick it
9:36up? You think that's enough to lease a
9:38ridge? [laughter]
9:41>> Everyone, shut up. Listen to me. First,
9:44I've leased East Ridge. We start
9:45clearing it tomorrow. We'll be leveling
9:47the ground and digging pits. Second,
9:49regardless of age or gender, if you can
9:51work, I'm hiring you. Third, the pay is
9:54$5 a day plus two meals. There'll be
9:56meat in every meal.
9:59You're not duping us with fake bills,
10:01are you? What if you don't pay us at the
10:02end of the month? I don't do that shady
10:04business of settling accounts at the end
10:06of the year. When the sun goes down, you
10:08take your money and go. If I'm short a
10:10single scent, you can burn down my
10:12family's old house. If you're down for
10:14it, go register your name with Uncle
10:16Carter. I'm in. Jacob, sign me up. I've
10:19got plenty of muscle. Count me in. My
10:22wife is coming, too. Stop pushing. I was
10:24here first. Let go of me.
10:28>> [music]
10:29>> Calvin, Tessa, you never saw this
10:32coming, did you?
10:35Calvin, today was so satisfying. That
10:38idiot Jacob actually dared to talk back
10:40to you. He's probably hiding in that
10:43half-colapsed shack right now, clutching
10:45his shovel and crying.
10:49Mom, stop talking about that broke ass.
10:52Calvin, you promised to buy me that gold
10:54necklace. Can we go pick it out this
10:56afternoon?
10:57>> We'll get it. Forget just the necklace.
10:59When the new condos open in the county
11:01next month, I'll straight up score a
11:03unit for you. You'll live the high life
11:05with me.
11:06>> You're the best, Calvin.
11:10>> That kid, Jacob, he's acting pretty
11:12tough, but in Langston County, crushing
11:15him is easier than crushing an ant. He
11:18thinks he's got the balls. I'll see in
11:20that dump of a town how he plans to make
11:22a comeback. He's destined to be broke
11:24for the rest of his life.
11:26>> If he ever manages to turn things
11:27around, I'll write my name, Victoria
11:30Mitchell, backwards. Haha. Little does
11:32he know at this very moment, the broke
11:35ass he thinks will be short on cash for
11:36life is using an unimaginable amount of
11:39cash flow to build a business empire
11:41that will screw him over and crush him.
12:00Who is Jacob? Specially approved by the
12:03state agricultural academy. 3,000
12:05premium early maturing honey peach
12:07saplings and $50,000 worth of greenhouse
12:10film and steel frames have all been
12:12delivered.
12:13>> What? Honey peaches and greenhouse film?
12:15How much would all this even cost?
12:18[music]
12:20I'm Jacob. Thanks for the hard work.
12:23Yakob, you're really full of surprises.
12:25That $50,000 deposit you dropped at the
12:28academy even caught our director's
12:29attention. These are the first
12:31experimental saplings in the entire
12:33state. Why are you all just standing
12:35there? I'm paying you $5 a day not to
12:37stand around and admire the view, unload
12:39the trucks, and plant the trees within 3
12:41months. I want this whole hill, every
12:45single blade of grass to belong to me.
12:50Calvin Tessa, you thought I'd be digging
12:53in the dirt my whole life, didn't you?
12:55Then let me show you how I'll bury you
12:58with this very soil.
13:00I leased these barren hills and a full
13:03year has passed. The wasteland where
13:05nothing once grew is now a sea of green.
13:08These are exclusive varieties from the
13:10state agricultural academy grown with
13:12premium fertilizer regardless of the
13:13cost. On the market, these are rare
13:16items that will totally sell for a steep
13:18price. No, Mr. Carter. For this first
13:21batch of peaches, the city supermarkets
13:24are offering $1.50 a pound. We have at
13:26least £300,000 here. If we sell the
13:29whole lot, that's $450,000. Oh my god,
13:32[music]
13:35Uncle Carter, it's just £450,000.
13:37No need to get worked up. First thing
13:40tomorrow morning, the 15 trucks I
13:42ordered will be in town to load up. Tell
13:44everyone we're harvesting through the
13:46night. Double pay for everyone. These
13:48peaches are delicate. They'll rot once
13:50it gets hot. We have to get them packed
13:52into coolers and shipped out before
13:55sunrise.
13:56>> You got it. I'll go get everyone on the
13:57loudspeaker.
14:02>> That 450,000 is only the beginning. I'm
14:05after more than just money.
14:09>> What did you say? Say that again.
14:11>> Mr. Barrett, it's the absolute truth.
14:14Jacob from Oakwood grew some premium
14:16peaches. Executives from the city's
14:18supermarket chain drove out to Oakwood
14:20themselves to sign the contract. 15
14:23trucks are heading there tomorrow
14:24morning to pick them up. Word is Jacob's
14:26pocketing at least several hundred
14:27thousand.
14:28>> Hundreds of thousands? That's
14:30impossible. Where did he get the capital
14:32to plant fruit trees? He must be lying.
14:34>> Exactly, Kelvin. How could that
14:36backwater grow anything valuable? If
14:38Jacob can make hundreds of thousands, I
14:41>> Everyone shut up. Hundreds of thousands.
14:44I spend a year dealing steel and barely
14:46make over a h 100,000. That broke ass I
14:48humiliated by throwing $2,000 at. Made
14:51hundreds of thousands in just a year.
14:52Damn it. If he wants to get rich in
14:54Langston County without my nod, he won't
14:57get a damn thing. Peaches, huh?
15:00Delicate, right? Sensitive to the heat,
15:02right? Hey, Hunter, go take some of the
15:05guys. Scout the main roads leading out
15:07of the county tonight. Hang around
15:09there. Also warn those rental companies
15:11in the county and the owners of the ice
15:14plants. If anyone dares to send a truck
15:16to Dutching village tomorrow or sell a
15:18single block of ice, I'll wreck their
15:20shop. Haha, Jacob, if hundreds of
15:22thousands worth of fruit can't be
15:24shipped out.
15:26>> Let's see how you survive. I'll bury you
15:28in hundreds of thousands of debt. I'll
15:30make you crawl to the county seat to beg
15:32me.
15:33>> Calvin is amazing. We have to crush that
15:35broke ass. Let him see what happens when
15:37he crosses you. That's what happens when
15:39you don't know your place. Messing with
15:42Mr. Barrett is a death wish. Haha.
15:46>> Today is the day of delivery. Great.
15:49Everyone stayed up all night. We carried
15:51baskets of peaches down the hill. The
15:54fragrance is so rich. Once we pack them
15:56in ice and load them onto the trucks,
15:58they'll turn into stacks of $100 bills.
16:04We've waited all night. Why hasn't a
16:06single truck arrived? Yeah, in this
16:08midsummer heat. If we can't move these
16:10peaches, they'll rot in less than 2
16:12days. Jacob, something's wrong. I just
16:15ran to the public phone booth in town to
16:17call the freight station. The owner said
16:19Calvin put the word out. Whoever dares
16:21to transport fruit from Maple Grove,
16:23he'll smash their truck. It's not just
16:25the trucks. The county ice factory won't
16:27supply us anymore either. They said the
16:29equipment is broken.
16:31>> What? No trucks? What are we going to
16:33do? If these peaches aren't shipped
16:35today, they'll start to soften. In two
16:37days, they'll run into mush. Calvin is
16:39trying to ruin us.
16:40>> Jacob, after all our hard work this
16:42year, it can't just go to waste. I told
16:44you we shouldn't have crossed, Calvin.
16:46Now we're finished. It's all over.
16:49Under the scorching sun, the peaches are
16:51baking. The fuzzy freshness on their
16:53skin is rapidly fading. An overly sweet
16:56scent of rot is already starting to
16:58drift through the air.
16:59>> Hundreds of thousands of dollars. That
17:02damn Calvin. He's trying to cut off the
17:04livelihood of everyone.
17:09Jacob, maybe we should go to town and
17:11beg Calvin. We can just give him half
17:13the profits. It's better than letting
17:15them rot in the orchards. He's right.
17:18Jacob,
17:18>> you have to know when to swallow your
17:19pride.
17:22>> Beg him, please. He's not worth it.
17:24Uncle Carter, have everyone move the
17:26peaches into the shade. Cover them with
17:28damp cloths. Not a single basket gets
17:30thrown out. Jacob, where are you going?
17:32>> He likes playing games with people's
17:33cash flow, doesn't he? Today, I'm going
17:36to show him what it means to be on
17:38another level.
17:40The sun is scorching outside the
17:41compound, but my blood is colder than
17:43ice right now.
17:47[music] This $100,000 trap is pushing me
17:50to the brink.
17:58>> [music]
17:59>> 28 gold bars have been lying quietly for
18:01a year. Today,
18:04it's time they see the light of day.
18:06They think they can choke me with the
18:08ice plant and freight station. In the
18:10face of absolute wealth, those dirty
18:12tactics aren't worth a damn. This weight
18:15is just enough to shatter all of
18:17Langston County's home training.
18:20Calvin, weren't you choking my supply
18:22lines? Today, I'm using cold hard cash
18:25to pave a path to the top. And I'll
18:27block every single one of your exits.
18:34[music]
18:40[music]
18:41It looks like you've struck it rich
18:43after being gone for a year. [music]
18:491 2 3 2 bars and they're all from the
18:53same batch of vintage Taikang stock.
18:55Young man, you did you dig up some old
18:58tycoon's vault? I know the rules,
19:00manager. Everything is clean. These are
19:03family heirlooms. My insurance policy
19:05final sale 25,000 each based on last
19:08year's rate. 28 bars. That's 700,000.
19:11I'm in a hurry. I need the cash right
19:14now. today. Young man, 700,000 is no
19:18small amount. Scraping that much
19:20together all at once, it'll take at
19:21least half a day. I have to get it from
19:23the bank. If you're in a rush, I can
19:25only offer you
19:26>> cash only. If you're short by even a
19:29scent before sunset, I'm going to
19:31Prosperity Bank across the street. Fine.
19:34You're a tough one. Even if I have to
19:36sell everything I own, I'm closing this
19:38deal today.
19:40[music]
19:42Young man, here's 700,000. Not a scent
19:45short. You can count it.
19:46>> No need.
19:52[music]
19:55>> Young man, 700,000 in cash. Once you
19:57step out that door, the wolves will be
19:59circling. Want me to have a few champs
20:01drive you back in an unlicensed car?
20:04It's only a 1,000 service fee.
20:06>> No thanks. If a wolf blocks my path,
20:09I'll pull its teeth.
20:16Things are about to change in Langston
20:18County.
20:22>> Who's blind?
20:25>> I want every large refrigerated truck
20:27with cooling systems in your facility.
20:29Move out tonight. And all the industrial
20:32ice in your inventory. I'm taking it
20:34all.
20:35[music]
20:36>> Sir, that's quite a generous offer. But
20:39where's the delivery going? Hillrest,
20:41Langston County.
20:43>> Langston County. Oh boy, I can't take
20:45this job. Calvin, the steel guy in
20:48Langston County, put the word out.
20:50Anyone who sends trucks to deliver ice
20:51to Hillrest is looking for trouble with
20:53him. He has connections on both sides of
20:55the law.
20:59100,000 as a deposit. If Calvin smashes
21:02your trucks, I'll buy you new ones. If
21:05Calvin beats your men, this is enough to
21:07take care of them. Look, it's not about
21:11the money. A powerful outsider is no
21:14match for a local boss.
21:24With this 500,000,
21:26I'm buying 3 months of exclusive
21:28transport rights from your company and
21:30refrigeration rights. [music]
21:32I'm only asking one last time.
21:35Are you taking the deal or not? If not,
21:38I'll find someone else.
21:40>> Deal, bro. I'm taking this gig. Calvin
21:44is a pimple on my ass. I'm leading the
21:47team myself tonight. If he dares to
21:49block the trucks, my crew of truck
21:51drivers will straight up crush his
21:53Santana with their tires. Within half an
21:56hour, I want to see the fleet moving.
21:59>> Hunter, we've watched all night. Not a
22:01single fly from those grimy hands in
22:03Maple Grove. We'll be able to get out.
22:05Calvin's move was savage. Those peaches
22:08will all rot by tomorrow.
22:10>> Duh. If you cross Calvin, this is what
22:12happens.
22:23Holy. It's a specialized refrigerated
22:25fleet from the city. 20 trucks. That's a
22:27fortune.
22:28>> Hunter, they're charging right at us.
22:30Our Jeep is still in the middle of the
22:32road. Should we stop them?
22:34>> Stop them like hell. Do you want to die?
22:36Run.
22:46[music]
22:48Calvin, something's happened.
22:53Jacob. Jacob. That lunatic. He threw
22:55money around to bring in 20 refrigerated
22:57trucks from the city. All of them have
22:59built-in freezers. They smashed through
23:01our blockade. They drove straight up
23:03into Hillrest.
23:06What did you say?
23:0920 refrigerated trucks from the city?
23:12That must cost hundreds of thousands. A
23:14guy with grimy hands like him. Where did
23:16he get all that money?
23:22This feels better than a cold soda on a
23:24hot day.
23:28Mr. Carter, I'm truly impressed by your
23:30methods. 350k lb of these fine peaches.
23:34Not a single pound was wasted. Even the
23:36CEO at our headquarters heard about
23:37this.
23:39>> $525,000 has already been deposited into
23:42your account. Keep it safe.
23:45[music]
23:49Mr. Mitchell, keep 10 trucks to take the
23:52fruit back to the city. Take the other
23:5410 empty ones and follow me into town.
23:59>> Mr. Carter, the fruit's all gone. Why go
24:02into town?
24:04Go buy some rocks and scrap metal.
24:08Deliver a special gift to someone.
24:17Grand Line Construction Wholesale,
24:19Langston County.
24:46Wa! Sir, what's all this? Why use a
24:49refrigerated truck for construction
24:51materials?
24:56>> Mr. Barton. I heard Calvin landed the
24:59contract for the new county bus station
25:01and is getting all his supplies from
25:02you. Yeah, Calvin is one of my biggest
25:05clients. Why are you asking? To be
25:08honest, Calvin's trucks are coming this
25:10afternoon to pick up the last batch.
25:12Those are critical materials for the bus
25:14station's roof.
25:16>> Does he pay you in cash?
25:20>> Honestly, in this business, nobody pays
25:23in cash. Calvin pays at the end of the
25:25month with IUS.
25:27I've gotten used to it. [music]
25:30Take a look.
25:42120,000 in cash. That batch of special
25:46rebar you have for Calvin and that high
25:48bond cement. I'm taking it all plus
25:51everything else you have in stock. Don't
25:53leave a single thing behind. I'll give
25:55you the factory price plus another 10%.
25:58Take the money now and I'll load the
26:00goods right now.
26:02[music]
26:03Sir, it's not about the money. If Calvin
26:06doesn't get the goods this afternoon,
26:08the new project schedule will be
26:10delayed. Every day the project is
26:12delayed. The penalty is 50,000. If
26:15Calvin has lost it, he's capable of
26:17anything. He's out of chances.
26:20He's owed you final payments for 3
26:22years. That adds up to tens of
26:25thousands, doesn't it? [music]
26:26Do you think if he doesn't get paid for
26:28this project, you'll ever see your money
26:31again?
26:35[music]
26:36I'll give you a minute to think about
26:37it. If you want to stay loyal to him,
26:41I'll leave and buy from the place across
26:42the street. But let me remind you after
26:46today there's no such person as Calvin
26:48in Langston County.
26:54Arg. Damn it. Calvin owes me tens of
26:57thousands. I'm so done with him. Take
27:00whatever you want from the warehouse.
27:05[music]
27:08Load the truck.
27:11Tell the guys to move it. It's roasting
27:14out here. We need to get back for lunch.
27:30>> Fuckups. You're all a bunch of fuckups.
27:33>> Ah, Calvin, it really wasn't our fault.
27:36That lunatic Jacob somehow got a hold of
27:38serious money. He straight up called in
27:4020 refrigerated trucks from the city.
27:42Our two beat up Jeeps were straight up
27:44rammed into a ditch.
27:45>> Where did he get that kind of cash? He
27:48couldn't have robbed a bank, could he?
27:50>> Calvin, did this kid win the lottery?
27:52What are we going to do? All those
27:54peaches didn't rot. He's going to make a
27:56killing. [music]
28:00Fortune my ass. In Langston County, this
28:03is my turf. Even with his money, he's
28:06got to stay in line. H He thinks buying
28:09a fleet makes him a big shot. I'll just
28:12find a few departments to go to his
28:13orchard and run an inspection. I can
28:15shut down his whole operation. [music]
28:23Hello. Who is this? Mr. Barrett, it's
28:25over. Everything's over. Why the low
28:28energy? Use your words. Barton's place
28:30just called. Tell me that batch of
28:33specialty rebar and highdensity cement
28:35you ordered is out of stock and the
28:38entire construction market's inventory
28:40is cleared out. I heard a boss named Mr.
28:42Carter with 10 semi-truckss and over a h
28:45100,000 in cash straight up bought every
28:47last bit of stock in Langston County.
28:49>> What has Barton lost it? I have a signed
28:51supply contract with him.
28:53>> Barton said your contract only mentions
28:55end of month settlement with no deposit
28:57paid. It's not legally binding. The
29:00other guy paid the full amount in cash
29:01up front. If we can't top off this
29:03afternoon, we'll be held liable for
29:05breach of contract tomorrow. That's a
29:07$50,000 daily fine. And our cash flow
29:10dried up a long time ago. We still owe
29:13the workers 3 months of back pay. They
29:15heard the materials ran out. Now they're
29:17all rioting at the construction site
29:19entrance. They're going to trash your
29:21office.
29:23[music]
29:26>> Calvin, what's up? Uh,
29:28>> get out. Get the hell out. Go to the
29:30site. Get to the site right now.
29:34>> Jacob is a genius. He really is. Words
29:37come in from town. Calvin's construction
29:39site is shut down. The workers are
29:41rioting over unpaid wages. They trashed
29:44his office. The county officials are
29:46furious. I heard they've already sent an
29:48investigation team to check on him.
29:50Calvin's cash flow is completely gone.
29:52He's out on the streets looking for lone
29:54sharks.
29:55>> Justice has finally been served. This
29:57bully is finally getting what he
29:59deserves.
29:59>> It's not just luck. Jacob is just that
30:02good.
30:04Why the rush? Even a falling skyscraper
30:06kicks up dust for a while. Uncle Carter,
30:09we're just in the home stretch now. The
30:11best part is yet to come. Notify the
30:13whole village. We're having a feast in
30:15the courtyard tonight. Slaughter 10
30:17pigs. Buy 200 cases of ice cold beer.
30:20We're handing out everyone's year-end
30:22bonuses early today. Right now?
30:24>> Yes. Calvin is finished. It's time for
30:27some people to come back begging. We
30:30need to save them a front row seat.
30:32Haha. Quiet down, everyone. Today, not
30:36only did Jacob lead us to a major
30:38victory and ensure that scoundrel Calvin
30:40got his karma, he's also giving out the
30:42year-end bonuses early today. It's based
30:45on performance. The harder you worked,
30:47the more you get. Come up and collect
30:49your money when your name is called.
30:51Theo for your hard work clearing land
30:53and managing the green houses. Your
30:55bonus is $2,500.
30:58Great. Great.
30:59>> Jacob, you're a lifesaver. I, Theo, am
31:02with you for life.
31:03>> Get up. The best is yet to come.
31:08>> Oh, good lord. This heat is killing me.
31:10That jerk, Calvin. He always acted like
31:13such a big shot. But he completely
31:15choked when it mattered. Not only did
31:16his project's funding dry up, but he
31:18also got mixed up with lone sharks. Now
31:21he's nowhere to be found. If we hadn't
31:23run off so fast, those debt collectors
31:25would have stripped us of all our
31:26jewelry.
31:28Mom, do we really have to go back to
31:30that broke ass Jacob? This place doesn't
31:32even have a fan. Just thinking about it
31:34makes me sick.
31:36>> Don't be stupid. I asked around town
31:38this afternoon. Jacob got incredibly
31:40lucky. He actually managed to sell those
31:42peaches he grew. He made over a h
31:44100,000. A simpleton like him suddenly
31:48coming into that much money definitely
31:50won't know what to do with it. While
31:52he's filthy rich, you need to get back
31:54there and sweet talk him with how
31:56obsessed he used to be with you. All you
31:59have to do is play nice. He'll hand over
32:01every cent to us. Once we're in control
32:04of the finances, we'll buy a big house
32:06in the city. No one will have to suffer
32:08in this dump of a village anymore.
32:11>> True, given how dull Jacob is. If I just
32:13beckon, he'll come crawling back like a
32:15lap dog. But mom, we can't seem too
32:18desperate. We need to make him think
32:20we're being generous by forgiving him
32:22for his past rudeness.
32:24>> You don't even have to tell me. Just
32:26watch how I put him in his place in a
32:28bit.
32:35Wow, look at this broke ass putting on a
32:38show.
32:39>> Frank Campbell.
32:41>> Wow, Jacob, look at you. Made a bit of
32:44money and you don't even recognize your
32:45elders anymore.
32:48>> [music]
32:49>> It's the two of you. Aren't you two
32:51following Calvin to live a life of beer
32:53and Skittles in the city?
32:55>> You don't know squat. Theo, shut your
32:57mouth. Jacob, Tessa, and I came all the
33:00way back just to see you. Lucky for you,
33:03growing those crappy peaches and
33:05actually making money. I'm telling you,
33:07Calvin is just having some temporary
33:09cash flow issues. He'll be back on his
33:11feet in a few days.
33:13>> Mom, don't bring up that loser. Jacob,
33:16my mom speaks bluntly, so don't mind
33:18her. Actually, I've always had a place
33:20for you in my heart. Being with Calvin
33:23was just to see if you had any ambition.
33:26Now that you've proven yourself, I can
33:28finally be at peace. Jacob, let's get
33:31back together.
33:32>> Yeah, let's make up. Jacob, our Tessa
33:35has a soft heart. She's sentimental, so
33:38she's decided to give you another
33:39chance. But since you have money now,
33:42the terms for getting back together have
33:44to change.
33:45First, I must be the one to manage this
33:47orchard from now on. Men go bad once
33:50they have money. It's only safe when
33:52it's in a woman's hands. Second, buy
33:55Tessa a house in full. Third, your
33:58brother-in-law just finished school.
34:00You're going to make him the vice
34:01manager of this orchard with a salary of
34:04at least 800 a month.
34:07[music]
34:08>> Victoria, have you no shame at all? Why
34:11should Jacob agree to these ridiculous
34:13demands? Old fart. This is none of your
34:15business. [music]
34:20>> Are you finished?
34:22>> If you're finished, then hurry up.
34:23>> If you're finished, then get out.
34:25>> You're telling me to get out? Jacob, you
34:28think you're so special just because you
34:30have some money? I'm willing to let my
34:32daughter be with you again. And you
34:34should be thanking your lucky stars.
34:35>> Jacob, you've changed. How could you do
34:38this to me? Didn't you swear you'd treat
34:40me right forever? Now that you have
34:42money, are you dumping the wife who
34:44stood by you?
34:45>> A loyal wife. You don't deserve that
34:48title. Tot
34:51grab two brooms. Sweep these two flies
34:53out of here.
34:54>> You got it, Jacob. Just watch me. You,
34:57too. Jacob gave the word. Out you go. If
35:00your clothes get dirty, don't blame me
35:02for being rough.
35:03>> Ah, you. How dare you?
35:18You're Tessa.
35:20>> I am officer. What's wrong?
35:22>> What happened? Calvin is involved in
35:24organized crime. He ran a scam,
35:26defaulted on massive construction debts,
35:28and fled. The state police have launched
35:30a joint operation to arrest him. as his
35:32domestic partner and a suspect in asset
35:35transfers. You are being summoned
35:37according to the law.
35:38>> Uh, this has nothing to do with me. I
35:41don't know anything.
35:42>> Officers, you've got the wrong person.
35:44We have nothing to do with Calvin. We
35:46are the wealthiest people in Maple
35:48Grove. Jacob's fiance and mother-in-law.
35:51Jacob, say something for Tessa. You're
35:53so rich. Hurry and bail her out.
35:56>> Mr. Carter, I finally found you. I've
35:59heard all about your work. Leading the
36:01villagers to build a planting base has
36:03caused a stir throughout the whole city.
36:06Langston County is lucky to have a young
36:08entrepreneur with such vision and
36:10responsibility. It's a blessing for our
36:13entire county. Today, on behalf of the
36:15county government, I've come
36:16specifically to present Mr. Carter with
36:18the provincial award for top 10
36:20outstanding young entrepreneurs. Here is
36:22the plaque. The county has also decided
36:25to fully fund the road to Maple Grove
36:27and turn it into a paved highway. We
36:29will fully support Mr. Carter's
36:31agricultural empire. Good.
36:35I appreciate the recognition and support
36:37from the county. I, Jacob, will not let
36:40the people down. I'll benefit the
36:42community and give my all to the
36:44development of this county.
36:47Thank you for your hard work. Please sit
36:49down and have some water.
36:52>> Jacob. Jacob, I was wrong.
36:55Please save me. I don't want to go to
36:57jail. If you just save me, I'll work
37:01myself to the bone for you. I'll wash
37:03your feet. Empty your bedpans. I'll do
37:06anything.
37:10Jacob, I was so blind. I was a monster.
37:14For the sake of our past, please save
37:17Tessa.
37:20Everyone is equal before the law. If you
37:22make a mistake, you must be punished.
37:25[music] You looked down on me back then
37:27and you looked down on Oakwood. Now on
37:30this ground, you don't even have the
37:32right to kneel.
37:49Walking into the village along the
37:50asphalt road, every household has a
37:53two-story house with red bricks and
37:55white walls. Motorcycles and tractors
37:58are parked in the yards, and some even
38:00have sentas and jettas. Mr. Carter, you
38:04haven't just lifted this village out of
38:06poverty, you've done a world of good for
38:08all of Langston County. With these three
38:11schools built, the most remote townships
38:14in our county won't have kids who can't
38:16afford an education anymore. You're far
38:19too kind, sir. I've been poor before. I
38:22know how tough life is on this land.
38:25When there's no school and no work, when
38:28you're struggling, you look after
38:29yourself. When you've made it, you help
38:31others. I just did what I was supposed
38:34to do.
38:37The inheritance you left me, great
38:39grandpa. I didn't keep it all for
38:41myself. I put it to its best use. Now
38:45every child from a poor family can go to
38:47school. Anyone without a job is working
38:50in the orchards. Everyone has enough to
38:53eat.
