Harvest Love (2017) - full transcript

A doctor from Seattle returns to her family farm to reconnect with her son and finds more than she can imagine.

Paging Dr. Malcolm to room 413.

Dr. Malcolm...

Thought I might find you here.

Hiya, doc.

How are you feeling today,

Henry?

Not too bad.

Better than yesterday.

Well, now that you're up

and walking,

I thought I'd get you

started on rehab tomorrow.

How does that sound?

Good enough

to give you my dessert,

and believe me, it was the best

thing on my tray this afternoon.

I really appreciate the offer,

but I don't want to spoil my dinner.

I have an eight-year-old

waiting for me at home.

- Well, see you tomorrow.

- You bet.

Paging Dr. Gilson to emergency.

Dr. Gilson.

Hey, Jim.

Hey, Dr. Gilson,

we have an appendectomy.

22-year-old male.

I know you've been here since 7:00

this morning, and I wouldn't ask,

but the on-call surgeon

is stuck in traffic, so...

I'm supposed to be going home

to have dinner with my son.

I just need

to make a call first.

Thank you.

I will let the patient know

we've got one of

our best surgeons coming in.

Paging Dr. West.

Nurses' station 2.

- I'm sorry I'm so late, Ruth.

- It is not a problem.

- How was Andy tonight?

- A little on the quiet side.

Well, I'll see you tomorrow.

There's a plate for you in the oven.

All you have to do is heat it up.

How did you know that

I wouldn't have time to eat?

Well, I've worked for you

long enough to figure that out.

Thank you so much...

For everything.

- Get some sleep.

- Thank you.

I'll try.

- Bye.

- Bye.

I love you.

- Hi, honey!

- Hi, mom.

Is everything all right?

Why are you calling so late?

Shoot.

I always forget whether we're

eight hours ahead or behind you.

Cameroon is eight hours ahead.

How's dad?

He's great, but how are you?

You look tired.

It's been a rough day.

I had seven surgeries,

a board meeting, and rounds, so...

I didn't make it home

before Andy went to bed...

Again.

Well, that can't be good for you...

Or for Andy.

Andy's doing okay.

You need to take

some time off and relax.

Doesn't Andy have a fall break

coming up?

Yeah, he does,

but I just...

I don't have time, you know?

I have patients, and...

And you're not

the only surgeon in Seattle.

They'll find someone

to cover for you.

I haven't been up there

in years.

I don't even know

if Andy would like it, and...

I don't know, mom.

It's probably a pretty crazy idea.

No, what's crazy is you burning

yourself out like this...

And burning your house down.

Is that smoke

I see behind you?

Just my dinner burning.

You know what, mom?

I'm going to call you back.

Love you.

Okay, hurry up, Andy.

We don't want to be late.

It's okay.

- When was this?

- Yesterday.

- Honey, you were in this?

- Yeah. The whole class was.

- Why didn't you tell me about it?

- You were working.

Honey, I would have made time

for this.

You missed my spelling bee, so...

I didn't think

you could come for this.

Listen, I know I missed that,

but I told you how sorry I was.

- I had an emergency surgery.

- It's no big deal.

Paging Dr. Rothstein.

Dr. Rothstein...

Dr. Gilson!

Hi.

- Hi...

- Sheila Myman.

You removed my kidney stones

last month.

Yes, of course.

What are you doing back here?

You're not sick again, I hope.

No, just visiting a friend.

Well, I hope

your friend feels better,

and if there's anything

I can do, let me know.

Dr. Matlets, recovery room 6.

Dr. Matlets, recovery room 6.

Do you remember Sheila Myman?

Yes. Nice woman.

Kidney stones last month. Why?

I just passed her in the hall,

I had no idea who she was.

It's my job to keep

all the patients straight,

and to keep you on schedule.

Well, moving forward,

could you please schedule

a little more time for me

to get to know them?

You're a general surgeon,

not a general practitioner.

You don't have

that kind of time.

Dr. Weber is wondering if you

can cover for him this weekend

and be on-call?

Doesn't anyone think I have a life

outside of this hospital?

Unless no one else can do it.

Would you be able to clear

my schedule

the week of Andy's school break?

It won't be easy,

but I've been known

to work a miracle or two.

Great.

I think I'm going

to take my mom's advice

and do something

for Andy and myself.

Don't forget

about the new promotion.

They're still circling

candidates for the spot.

It's a week

of owed vacation time,

so it shouldn't affect

their decision.

Okay...

Anything else

you want me to pack?

You're not going to need

swim trunks on the farm.

If we were going

to Florida or Hawaii

like some of my friends,

instead of a farm, we would.

Well, it's not just a farm.

It's our family's farm.

Are you sure you wouldn't

rather go to Hawaii?

Nice try, but I can't go too far

from the hospital, okay?

The farm's only

a couple of hours away.

It'll be fun, you'll see,

and we might even be there

around harvest time.

I'm just excited

to spend time with you, mom.

Me too, Andy.

Me too.

I forgot

how much I love it here.

There are a lot of trees.

There sure are. Do you know

what kind of trees they are?

Pine!

That's right.

You are so smart.

Is that why the town's

called Pineview?

See, you're already starting

to appreciate it.

- Mom, are we lost?

- No, I've been following all the signs.

It just seems like we've been

on this road for a long time.

What is this guy doing?

Just stay in the car, okay?

I've got this.

It's a one-Lane road.

You're supposed to yield

to oncoming vehicles.

I know.

- Okay, so why aren't you yielding?

- Because I got here first.

It's not about who got here first.

You have a yield sign, and I don't.

So you're supposed to back up

and pull over.

Or... you could.

I'm going to take a wild guess

and say that you're not

from around here, are you?

No, I'm not,

but what difference does that make?

Besides,

I have a child in my car,

and I don't want to risk

going into a ditch

or getting a flat

or something like that.

Not likely.

Okay, well then...

Why don't you show me

how it's done?

You know,

so I'll know for next time?

Okay.

Looks like I got a flat.

I feel terrible.

Can we at least give you a lift?

I'll be fine.

Just take it easy

on the next guy, all right?

Yeah, absolutely, of course...

And again, I'm really sorry.

So, what do you think?

It's big.

Come on, let's go find the key.

Your grandma said it's where

we always used to keep it.

Was I ever here before?

Your daddy and I brought you here

when you were very little.

Your great-grandpa Gilson,

who was my grandpa,

was still alive back then,

and we had Thanksgiving here.

- I don't remember.

- Of course, you don't.

You were only a year

and a half old,

but there are plenty

of pictures inside.

At least, there used to be.

You see that?

I did that when I was your age.

I was running around

outside, playing,

and they told me

to stay off the porch,

and I didn't listen,

and the poor guy lost his nose.

- Did you get in trouble?

- I didn't get dessert that night,

and your great-grandma Gilson's

pear cobbler

was the best thing

you've ever tasted.

Ever!

Right where grandma

said it would be.

Come on, let's go inside.

Okay!

Why don't you take

the bedroom upstairs,

the first one on the right?

- That's my old room.

- It's not a girl's room, is it?

You're safe.

It was redone years ago.

And you see these trees

over here?

I planted these

with great-grandpa Gilson.

Hey!

What are you so interested in?

I was just wondering

what that man was doing?

I think he's stealing our pears.

Look, go over there

and call the sheriff,

and tell him that we have

a pear thief in Gilson orchard,

and to come quick.

Look, I don't know

who you think you are,

but this is private property.

You can't go around picking

other people's fruit.

I can if I work here.

- You?

- Yep, me.

If it isn't the road hog.

Listen,

I am so sorry about that flat.

I hope you were able

to change it all right.

Well...

A half an hour of my time,

and I was all good.

I'd be happy to pay for it...

The tire?

Not necessary.

Long as you learned

the rules of the road.

Yeah, I did.

I did indeed, Mr...?

Will Nash.

I manage the farm here.

I take it you're Grace

and Eli's daughter.

Yeah, they didn't tell me

you were coming.

My mom was supposed to call you,

but she can be kind of forgetful,

so I'm not really surprised.

Listen, my son and I,

we are only going to be here

for a week,

so you don't have to worry

about us.

Hopefully, we'll stay

out of your way.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

I take it you're the young fella

who called about a pear thief?

I'm so sorry.

Hey, Will.

You called the sheriff on me?

Listen, this was just

a really big misunderstanding.

Will may be a lot of things,

but he's no thief.

So, if there are no arrests

to be made,

I'm going to head back

into town.

Okay, thanks.

Sorry.

Andy, this is Will.

He manages the farm,

and we are going to stay

out of his way this week, okay?

Andy!

Catch.

Thanks, Will.

I was getting hungry.

Sorry!

You know, I was surprised

when I heard you retired.

I never thought you were

going to leave the farm.

Neither did I,

but these old bones did me in.

Been a long time

since I saw you, though,

and Andy, you were just

a baby last time we met.

- So you knew my great-grandpa?

- Sure did!

I've known

four generations of Gilsons.

I've managed the Gilson farm

for over 40 years.

I was first hired

by your great-grandparents,

and when your grandpa

inherited the farm,

he made me manager,

because he and your grandma

lived in Seattle.

Your mom

was the third generation,

and now you're the fourth.

That's pretty cool.

- Can I go check things out?

- Sure! Lots to see around here.

Can I, mom?

So...

- I take it you met Will.

- Yes, I have.

Mom told me that you handpicked

him to be your replacement?

We were lucky to get him.

I had to do some fast talking

to convince him to take the job.

Is that so?

Not every day you find

a fourth-generation farmer

who also happens

to be an agronomist.

Will is a scientist?

You should hear him talk

about soil acidity,

cross-pollination,

hybrid seeds...

I don't understand

the half of it.

How come he doesn't have

his own farm?

The recession.

A lot of the farms around here

got bought up

by these big corporations

that swooped in

when the opportunity was right,

and quite a few families ended up

moving away, including his.

Must be tough...

Losing your family farm.

But after college,

Will came back determined to

rebuild his family's legacy,

and lucky for the Gilsons,

he is now on your farm.

Mom, look what I found!

Sweetie, are you okay?

You took a big fall there,

didn't you?

Ouch!

Mom, that hurts!

Hi. Is everything okay?

I'm a doctor.

Maybe I can help.

Yes.

My son, Bobby, fell

and scraped his knee.

Okay.

Hi. Hi, Bobby, I'm Dr. Gilson.

This is my son, Andy.

Do you mind if I take

a look at your knee?

Sure.

Andy, maybe you and Bobby

would like one of these?

- Is that okay?

- Yeah.

- Hey, you want to draw with me?

- Sure.

I'm going to take a look

at your knee, okay?

It's not bleeding.

Could you straighten it out for me?

All right.

Is that okay?

Bend it back...

It's good.

Might be a little bruised, 'Kay?

Might want to put some ice

on it when you get home.

Will do.

Dr. Gilson...

As in the Gilson pear farm?

Yeah, that's us.

We haven't seen

any of your family here

in a long time.

Yeah, mom and dad used

to come up all the time

from Seattle,

but they actually joined

an organization

that's providing medical care

overseas,

so they haven't been back.

Andy and I are just here

for a week.

That's a shame.

You'll miss the harvest festival.

Andy would love it.

Probably.

We have to get back, so...

Thank you so much.

- Sure! I'm Luna.

- Nicole! Pleasure.

Same.

- They look happy.

- Yeah.

So this is a pear.

We have tons of these at our farm.

Awesome!

Hey, mom.

Hi, honey!

I'm glad you're still up.

Mom, it's 10:00 A.M.,

not 10:00 P.M.

Oops, I'm never going to get

this time difference right.

So how are you doing?

Really good.

I'm still in my pajamas.

I haven't been able to do that

in years.

And how's Andy?

Andy's good,

but I think

he's a little disappointed

we didn't go somewhere

more exciting.

Well, just tell him the farm's

not going to be there forever,

so he should appreciate it

while he can.

Why would I tell him that?

Well, because your dad and I

have decided

to put the farm up for sale.

But why?

Well, none of us

are very interested in it,

and it's not making

much of a profit,

so it doesn't seem to make much

sense to hold onto it anymore.

I suppose not.

It feels weird to think

that the farm's not going

to be in the family anymore.

I know, but...

Maybe it's time

we all made a change.

Hi, this is Dr. Gilson.

I understand that Mr. Mitchell

is back in the hospital.

Could you give me

an update on his condition?

Yes, I am on vacation,

but I just wanted to check in.

Well, please tell Dr. Gordon

if he needs to consult me,

he can reach me on my cell.

No, it's no bother at all.

Okay, thanks.

Hey, I know we're on vacation,

but I wanted to check in on a patient.

- I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

It's no different

than being at home.

Yeah, but except at home,

we're not surrounded

by orchards and mountains

and clean air.

You know what?

If you're done

with your breakfast,

then why don't you put away

your colored pencils

and grab your coat,

because I want to show you

something super cool.

I forgot how beautiful

this place is.

It's awesome, mom.

It is.

"The best pear ground

is where you can see pine trees

when you're standing

in an orchard".

I can't believe

I remembered that.

My grandpa Gilson

used to say it all the time.

So, all of these are pear trees?

Yep, as far as the eye can see.

You know, when I was your age,

I used to go out

into the orchard,

and I would find a pear.

I would pick it,

I would take a bite, and

it tasted just like Autumn.

It was heavenly.

Let's try one.

What's it taste like?

Not Autumn.

This one's not ripe yet.

Come on, buddy.

Hey.

Hi!

So, how does it feel to be back?

It feels great.

I'm kind of hungry.

Can I go inside and get a snack?

Yeah, there's some granola bars

in the cupboard.

Thanks.

I have a question for you.

Shoot.

Where are the ripest pear trees?

Those would be...

Over there,

where you thought

I was stealing them.

You know what?

You'll see.

One day, you'll think

that's a very funny story.

It's a funny story now...

Least the whole town thought so.

What?

Well, Pineview's a small town.

Word travels fast.

Noted.

- Hi.

- Hi!

I brought you a lasagne.

I wanted to thank you

for yesterday.

My gosh, that is so sweet.

Please, come in.

Hi, Bobby.

Hey, Andy.

Do you play soccer?

Yeah.

Great, because

I have a ball in the car.

I was wondering

if you wanted to kick it around?

Sure.

Come on, let's go.

Bobby seems

no worse for the wear.

Like it never even happened.

How are you two

enjoying the farm?

I'm easing into it.

It's not too quiet out here

for you, is it?

Quiet is exactly what we need.

I've been so burned out at work,

I've barely spent

any time with Andy,

so it's been the

perfect place for us.

Sorry if I scared you all,

but we have a bit

of an emergency.

I just got a call

about a tractor accident

at the Hennessy farm,

and one of the farmhands

is injured.

The ambulance is

about 30 minutes out,

so I was hoping

that Dr. Gilson,

you would come on

out there with me

and see what you could do.

Yeah, of course.

Don't worry, I'll

stay with the boys.

Thanks.

Need my help?

Yeah, might need

an extra set of hands.

All right, I'll take my truck.

I'll follow you out there.

Hank, keep an eye on things

'til I get back.

Yeah, of course.

- You ready?

- Yeah.

Your mom's like a superhero.

Yeah...

I guess she kind of is.

Come on, boys, let's go inside.

Come on.

Give me the news.

How bad is it?

Well, the good news is,

you're going to live.

The bad news is,

I think it's a broken tibia.

I'm going to need

to stabilize your leg

until the ambulance gets here.

Do we have anything

around here we can use?

Sure, if there's a couple

fence slats. Would those work?

Yeah, that should work.

Here.

Thanks.

Okay.

You're going to be fine.

I'm going to splint your leg

to immobilize it.

Once I do that,

we'll elevate it,

and your pain should subside.

Okay.

Easy...

Good job.

Hang in.

Hey, sheriff,

it just dawned on me...

How did you know I was a doctor?

Don't look at me.

Well, you know, there's

no secrets in a small town.

Yeah, so I've been told.

Nicole's married

to my cousin, Tom,

and I heard how

you checked out Bobby's knee.

Anyhow, I'm going

to follow the ambulance.

Will, would you mind

taking the doc home?

Yeah, sure.

Thanks again,

Dr. Gilson.

Of course.

How come this town

doesn't have a doctor?

I mean, it's not that small.

Last one retired.

We do have

three veterinarians, though.

I've got to say, doc,

your medical skills

are impressive...

Better than your driving skills.

Yeah?

And to think

that I have been driving longer

than I've been

practicing medicine.

I'm still the one

who got the flat.

Which was my fault.

Yeah,

guess we can agree on that.

How'd it go?

He has a broken leg,

and he's on the way

to the hospital,

so he should be fine.

Thanks again so much

for staying.

Of course.

I think

the boys had a good time.

By the way, I noticed a leak

under your kitchen sink.

You don't want

to let that go too long.

I won't. Thanks

for letting me know.

I'll go grab Bobby.

Nice to see you, Will.

You know, I could fix that

leak for you, if you'd like.

That'd be great.

Thanks.

Andy, would you hand me

the channellocks up there?

These?

That's the one.

Thank you.

Actually, do you want to watch,

or do you want to come

over here and help me?

I would, but I don't know how.

I'm not a plumber.

That makes two of us,

but you don't have

to be a plumber

to know how to fix a leak,

and it's a pretty handy

thing to know how to do.

What do you say?

Sure.

All right.

Why don't you come

over here beside me?

I need somebody

with a strong hand

to tighten this slip

joint right here.

Like this?

Did I do it?

You did! You fixed

the leak. Good job.

Will, would you like

to stay for dinner?

Nicole brought over a lasagna,

and we have plenty.

I would.

There's still a few things

around the farm

I need to take care of

before it gets too dark.

Andy?

Andy, thanks for your help.

Couldn't have done it

without you.

Good night, Luna.

Bye, Andy.

Thanks, Will.

Hey, Andy!

What do you think about

doing a little project together

after dinner?

What kind of project?

Well, I found

my grandmother's recipe box,

and I was thinking it might be fun

to make her famous pear cobbler.

Have you ever made

anything like that before?

No, but I'm not afraid to try.

So, what do you say?

You want to be my taste tester?

I'll bake, and you taste?

Call me when you need me!

How do poached pears sound?

Like something I wouldn't eat.

Careful now.

You know, you shouldn't sneak up

on people

when they're halfway

up a ladder.

I wasn't going

to let you fall...

Though I do think

I should show you

the proper way to pick a pear.

You know, I spent

quite a few autumns here.

I think I know

how to pick fruit.

Let me show you.

You need to lift

and slightly twist,

and if it's ripe,

it should just land

in your hand...

With the stem attached.

I think I've got

the hang of it now.

Thank you.

These smell delicious.

I only hope I can

do them justice.

What are you planning

to make with them?

Well, I've botched a few

pear cobblers already,

so I was thinking

about making something

less ambitious,

like sliced pears in a salad.

Well, if you botch that, too,

there's plenty of other pears

around this farm.

Yeah, so I've noticed,

so since these

are nice and ripe,

I assume the others

aren't far behind.

When will you be harvesting?

Next few days, I'd imagine.

I'm going to check

the outer farm later today.

Then I guess it's likely

to be your last harvest here.

Mine too.

Parents tell you their plan?

Yeah.

It took me by surprise a little.

I mean,

I know I haven't spent

a lot of time here lately,

but there was just something

so comforting

about knowing

that the farm was here.

Does that sound silly?

No, no.

A farm is more than home.

It's heartland.

So what are you

going to do next?

Got an idea or two.

Hey, by the way,

why is there a lock

on the greenhouse?

Something in there

you don't want me to see?

No...

Just broken glass

and some planters laying around,

and I didn't want

anybody wandering in

and getting hurt...

And I have to go back to work.

See ya, doc,

and say hi to Andy for me.

Will do.

- Hi!

- Hi.

I see you found the

best bakery in town.

Yeah, I had to.

I failed at so many attempts

at the pear cobbler.

I promised Andy dessert tonight,

so we're settling for apple pie.

Where is Andy today?

He's on the farm.

Will asked Andy

to help him get the harvest

equipment ready, so...

Hey, what's all this?

It's for the harvest festival.

I'm on the decoration committee.

Yeah?

You want some help?

That would be great.

My car's just over there.

Do you want to follow me?

Yeah, sure.

Great!

Go ahead.

Hi, honey!

Hi!

Luna, this is my husband, Tom.

Hi. It's nice

to meet you.

You too!

I've heard a lot about you.

Yeah?

Well, then, I guess it's true

what they say about small towns.

You can't even turn a corner

without running into someone

who knows you.

That's definitely true

about this town.

Well, it seems

like the fall harvest festival

has become a really big deal.

Gets bigger every year.

We've got every county in

the state participating.

Tom's the event chair.

I hope you can stick

around for the festival.

We haven't had a Gilson

in person in...

I don't know how long.

It sure would be nice

for the town if you stayed.

I wish we could,

but I have to get back to work,

and Andy has to go

back to school.

Luna Gilson!

Fancy running into you here.

Yes, and it's lucky

that you did.

What are you talking about?

Well, you're walking

with a limp,

and I can tell from the way

that you're grimacing,

that you're experiencing

a lot of pain.

It's not so bad.

Just an old injury

from falling off a ladder.

When did you do that?

Which time?

Would you mind if

I take a look at your knee?

What, here?

On the picnic table, young man.

You have some swelling.

Are you experiencing

stiffness in your knee?

I am.

Think you may have developed

a little bit of arthritis, Farley.

Listen, keep it on ice,

and elevate it when you can.

- Do I have to?

- Doctor's orders.

Hi, mom.

Isn't this awesome?

Yeah, it is.

You ever been on one?

Me? No.

Me neither.

No?

You want to ride out with me?

Can I, mom?

Just be careful.

Yes!

Buckle up.

Have fun.

You know what this is?

What's that?

It's a bite mark.

- From what?

- Squirrels.

That's how we know if the trees

are ready to harvest.

We check the fruit

that's fallen to the ground.

If they've got bite marks

like this one,

it means the squirrels

threw them down

because they weren't

sweet enough.

So that means these

aren't ready yet?

That's exactly what that means.

We'll come back and check them

in a couple of days.

I didn't know

squirrels ate pears.

My dad and I used to

feed them in the park,

but we gave them nuts.

Did you know my dad?

No, I didn't.

He sometimes called me Andrew.

That's my real name, you know.

His name was Phillip Walters.

I'm a Gilson-Walters.

So you have two names?

Lucky!

Most people only get one.

Well, my dad said it

was special having two.

I want to show you something.

Here we go.

You see that?

Must have been your dad

that carved those initials.

Wonder why he did that?

Well, I think he did it

to show how much he loves you

and your mom.

You think

this will be here forever?

Sure of it.

Hey, mom.

Hey, sweetheart.

Did you have a nice time

with Will?

Yeah!

He's a cool guy.

Is that an apple you're eating?

I think so,

but Will had

a funny name for it.

There was a whole lot of them,

and it's really good.

Want a bite?

Good?

It's delicious.

Yeah, I know.

Best apple I've ever tasted.

Did Will pick this

from one of our trees?

But we don't grow apples

on the farm.

What's that?

This is my memory box.

I started it

when I was about six or seven,

and it's all the special items

that I collected

from my time here on the farm.

You must have spent

a lot of time here.

We sure did.

I don't believe it.

This is a ticket

from my very first

harvest festival.

I had such a great time.

Is this grandpa's?

Actually, it's mine.

I played first base.

I didn't know

you could play baseball.

Grandpa and I used to play

every single year

at the harvest festival's

father-son game.

Father-son game?

But you're a girl.

Well, they bent the rules

a little.

Hang on, sweetheart,

I've got to take this.

It's Nicole.

Hey, Nicole.

Volunteer at

the harvest tomorrow?

We'd love to.

Okay, great.

Mom, want to play catch?

Sure!

Let's go.

So, tomorrow...

Hey, mom!

Guess what this is.

It's a cornucopia.

You know, it's too bad

you're doing all this work

and you're not even going

to be at the festival.

It's the best time all year.

There's tons of food,

all types of carnival games.

There's contests...

Even a softball game.

It is kind of a shame

you can't stay longer.

Well, Andy and I

have to get back to Seattle,

but we're happy to be

volunteering just the same.

Excuse me, I need a refill.

Darn!

We're out of coffee.

Well, if you can keep an eye on Andy,

then just give me 15 minutes.

I'll go into town

and do a coffee run.

You've got it.

Make sure it's good and strong.

Hey, bud, I am going into town.

I'll be right back, okay?

- You good to color?

- Yep.

Sweetheart, your hands

are covered in paint.

Why don't you go inside

and get washed up?

Is there any way

we could stay for the festival?

No, I'm afraid not.

We've got to go home.

I know.

Your patients need you.

- Don't you miss your friends?

- Well... this place isn't so bad.

Go clean up.

Hey, Hank, have you seen Will?

I think he's in the greenhouse.

Thanks.

Will?

Are you in here?

Hey, Hank.

Hey there, Luna.

Can you point me in the

direction of the apple trees?

We don't have any apple trees,

just pears.

You sure?

Sure as I'm standing here.

Thanks.

Have a good walk.

I heard you were looking for me.

Actually, I was looking

for an apple

like the one you gave Andy

yesterday.

He said you got it

from one of our trees.

We don't have apple trees.

But...

Saw you in town earlier.

I didn't think you did.

You seemed like

you were in the middle

of something important.

'Cause I was in a suit?

Well, you don't dress like that

every day.

Well,

it wouldn't be very practical

for around the farm,

now, would it?

Well, farm business

doesn't always happen on a farm,

now, does it?

No, it doesn't,

and while you're fishing,

why don't you check

out the pond?

I'll see you, doc.

Hey, Marcy, how are you?

You haven't checked in

for a while.

I was beginning

to wonder about you.

Yeah.

I guess I forgot.

That's a first.

Then the trip

must be doing you some good.

It has...

For both of us.

I haven't seen Andy this happy

in years.

Forgot how much I love it here.

See what taking

some time off can do?

But the reason I'm calling is,

you'll be back in a few days,

so should we start scheduling

some surgeries for next week?

Yeah, of course...

On second thought,

do you mind if I call you back?

I kind of want to hold off

on my schedule for a day or two.

Okay.

Don't wait too long.

Mom?

You going somewhere?

Just out for a spin.

Yeah, well,

we usually take the ATV out

for farm work,

not for joy rides.

Well, I was checking to see

if the pears are ripe enough

to harvest.

Do you even know

what you're looking for?

- Sort of.

- Sort of.

Set up for the harvest

festival is shorthanded.

Could use some volunteers.

Andy and I can pitch in.

All right, well, we'll take my truck,

not the ATV. Scoot over.

Not very subtle, are they?

I think most of the single

women in Pineview

have tried to flirt with Will

at one time or another.

Really?

Yeah, he's a great catch.

Sweetheart!

I just got a call confirming

that Frank Honeywell is going

to be one of the judges

in the best pear competition!

- That's quite a coup for us.

- That's wonderful, honey!

Now wait, who is he again?

He's one of the biggest food

distributors in the state.

Winning overall best pear

is the brass ring

for any farmer.

A win like that

can really put you on the map.

Well, it's been a while,

but if I remember correctly,

Gilson farms took home

that prize quite a few times.

Not in the last several years.

Yeah, Williamsburg farms has

been winning year after year.

And I remember that name.

Whatever happened

to their son, Ronny?

He was kind of a know-it-all?

No, no, he goes by Ronald now.

Yeah, and he's even more

of a know-it-all.

I guess some people

never change.

I heard someone say there's

a harvest moon starting tonight.

You heard right.

Ever seen one?

Maybe when I was younger,

but I don't remember.

Let's see...

The harvest moon

happens once a year,

at the beginning of Autumn,

and the full moon rises

at sunset,

so it's brighter than usual,

which makes

for longer harvest days.

I am impressed.

My grandpa taught me that.

Well, it looks like

it might be a clear night.

I'll bet we'll be able

to get a good view of it.

Well,

if you're not too tired later,

I could show you

the best place on the farm

to see it.

Why don't you let me help you

with him?

Come on, buddy.

Come on, Andy.

- Get him into bed all right?

- Sure did.

I really wish he

could have seen it

before he conked out.

It really is

something, isn't it?

Not going to see

anything like that in Seattle.

All those city lights.

And too much noise.

I can actually hear the

crickets chirping here.

You have been in the city

too long.

Those are frogs.

What? No!

Yes, those are frogs.

Are you sure?

Pretty sure.

Okay, well,

whatever that noise is,

it's... it's very relaxing.

That's something

I don't think you do much of.

Yeah, well, when you have

a eight-year-old kid,

and you're an on-call surgeon,

you don't really have time

to stop and smell the roses...

Or the apples, it seems.

Come on, what's your

secret, Will Nash?

I don't have a secret.

I just don't reveal much.

Yeah, well, that might be

a good idea for business,

but doesn't that get in the way

of having a relationship?

Who says I want one?

I wasn't...

Implying that.

I just...

I meant...

I meant that most people do that

at some point or another, so...

Well, maybe

at some point, I will.

Yeah, but I don't get it.

I mean, you're

a good catch, Will.

Nicole's words, not mine...

But it is my understanding

that you're very popular

with the local ladies.

Let's just say

that a relationship

doesn't exactly fit

into my plan right now.

Which you're not

going to tell me.

You are persistent, aren't you?

Owning my own farm, okay?

That's my plan.

That's a nice plan!

I don't really understand

how having a relationship

gets in the way of that, though.

Sometimes, they do.

When I was in medical school,

I had a plan, too.

No distractions

until I finished my residency...

And then I met Phillip,

and my plan sort of flew

out the window.

Glad it worked out for you, doc.

When I met somebody,

threw my plans out the window...

It didn't exactly work out

for me.

I was blindsided.

Yeah, things don't always go

as you planned.

Must have been hard.

It was.

It still is, sometimes...

But I have Andy...

Although I've shortchanged him

a lot lately.

How do you mean?

I threw myself into work,

and I wasn't really around

for Andy enough.

The whole point of this trip

was to reconnect with him,

which I think

I've managed to do.

What happens when you go back

in a couple days?

To be honest, I don't know.

Up kind of early, aren't you?

Couldn't sleep.

The moon give you

a lot to think about?

It did.

Do you need to get that?

Yeah...

But I'm not ready to.

Enjoy your walk, Luna.

Don't forget to do

the lift and twist.

Okay, Will,

you really have to stop

sneaking up behind people.

Maybe if certain people

stopped showing up

where they're not supposed to...

And why am I not supposed

to be here?

Just that these trees are still

in the developmental phase.

Yeah, well,

if it's the same fruit

that you gave Andy

the other day,

I would say

it's far more than developed.

It's amazing.

So, what is all this?

Well, first of all,

they're not apples,

they're pears.

I crossbred

a rare variety of red seckel

with an Asian seuri,

so they have the look

and coloring of an apple,

but the seuri flavor

has hints of apricot.

So that's why it was so sweet.

They also have

a longer storage life

and less susceptibility

to bruising.

That's brilliant.

So does this fruit

have a name yet?

Not yet.

The scientific name

is pyrus phoeniceus.

I patented it.

I'm being a little cautious

about what my next step is.

So that explains the secrecy.

I met with some

potential investors,

but they're not sold yet,

so I entered it

in the harvest festival,

and if it wins best overall,

that could seal the deal.

So why don't you just continue

to grow them here?

I could never afford to do that

on a farm this large.

Besides, if your parents

actually find a buyer,

this farm may not

even be here anymore.

That's what happened

with my folks.

Yeah, Farley told me

that a corporation took it over.

Yeah.

Leveled it.

Turned it into a shopping mall.

That's awful.

It was,

but taught me that

when life knocks you down,

you get back up,

so that's what I did,

and that's what I'm doing.

Andy, honey, there's something

I want to discuss with you.

First of all, I want you to know

that I am so sorry

for all the plays,

and the spelling bees,

and the soccer games

that I missed.

You deserve a mom

that's going to be there

for you, 'Kay?

And I'm hoping that this

makes up for that a little.

I know it's not a theme park,

or what you really wanted

to do, but...

This hasn't been so bad,

and it's been kind of fun

watching you try to bake.

Yeah, well, I...

You know what?

You're going to see.

I am going

to master that cobbler...

And you are going to love it.

Honey, if you had a choice,

would you want to go back

to Seattle as planned,

or would you maybe want

to stick around here

a little longer?

Could we stay

for the harvest festival?

That is exactly

what I was thinking.

Of course, you'd have

to do some school work.

I think I could call school

and get your assignments, but...

I want to stay.

You didn't even hear the part

about school, did you?

I get it.

If we stay,

I still have to study.

Yes.

All right, I guess we're going

to stay a little longer.

Hello there, Luna.

Well, hello, Ronny.

- You remember me.

- You're not easy to forget.

- Andy, this is Ronny Williamsburg.

- It's Ronald now.

I hear your farm is up for sale.

Must be what brought you

back to town.

No, it's not.

We're on vacation.

Then perhaps I'll see you

at the harvest festival.

You'll see me there,

up on stage.

My farm has won the top prize

seven consecutive years.

You mean

your family's farm, right?

- So nice to see you again, Luna.

- You too, Ronny.

Hey.

Hey, I just came by

to let you know

I've got to leave

and rush over to Olympia.

I hope everything's okay?

Yeah, there's a glitch

in the paperwork for my patent,

but I've got to take care of it

by the end of today.

Sure, yeah. Of course.

Take all the time you need.

Is there anything

I can do to help?

No, no, no.

Thank you, though.

I'll be back

first thing in the morning,

and if the rain lets up tonight,

then tomorrow,

we'll start the harvest.

I've already

let the pickers know.

Great!

We'll be up bright and early.

Will...

I...

I wanted to let you know

that Andy and I are staying

an extra week.

Was kind of hoping you might.

Hey, Will!

The rain cleared up.

Bad news.

Last night's rain downed a tree,

and it's blocking the highway,

so the road's closed.

I'm going to take the detour,

but I don't know how long

that's going to take,

and I'm guessing

if I can't get through,

the pickers can't either.

Okay, so what do we do?

Let Hank know what's going on,

and call Farley.

I'll get there as soon as I can.

Sounds good.

Farley, hey.

It's Luna.

I need your help.

If these don't get picked soon,

they're just going

to keep falling to the ground.

Okay.

Then we need to get organized.

Since the pickers and crates

aren't here,

we're going to have to do this

ourselves.

Go around the farm,

find anything

that you can put the fruit in.

Buckets, wheelbarrows, boxes...

Get creative.

I'm going to go get Andy.

All hands on deck.

All right, guys,

let's see what we can find.

What's with the suitcase?

You going someplace?

No, it's for the pears.

Great idea!

Why don't you grab mine?

- Hey!

- Hey!

My goodness!

How did you manage all this?

I just put the word out,

and everyone was

happy to pitch in.

- Any word from Will?

- He's still on the road.

Things aren't as bad

as I thought they'd be.

Looks like you grabbed

the bull by the horns...

But I guess you are a Gilson,

after all.

Well,

it's what I'm trained to do.

I mean,

not the fruit-picking part,

but I do deal with emergencies

on a daily basis.

Looks like you've got

a bumper crop this year.

Let's get to it.

Come on, everybody.

There's Will!

I wouldn't blame you

if you wanted to fire me.

Now, why would I do

something like that?

Everyone's a little late to work

sometimes.

Speaking of work...

Hey, mom, I want

to show you something.

Honey, hi!

Is everything okay?

It is now,

but it's a kind of a long story.

Go get dad.

Come here.

Hi!

Hi.

All right.

It's harvest day,

and I want to show you both

something amazing.

Can you believe

your grandson is picking pears?

He loves it!

Of course, he does.

Exactly

what I was doing at his age.

It looks like

the two of you going up to

the farm was just what you needed.

Yeah, it really was.

Thank you guys so much

for always looking out for me.

No matter where we are

in the world, Luna,

we're always there for you.

- Love you guys.

- Love you too, sweetheart.

Don't forget

to send us some pictures.

I won't.

Bye.

Well...

What did you think of

your first harvest?

It was really...

Really fun.

And you, Dr. Gilson?

It was exhausting,

but exhilarating,

though I fear

that my suitcase will

forever smell like pears.

Mom, I think

I'm going to go inside.

Okay, I'll be in

in a few minutes

to start dinner.

Bye, Will.

That was the best day ever.

You're welcome.

I'll see you tomorrow.

So did you get everything

straightened out in Olympia?

Yeah, that part of the trip

went just fine.

Matter of fact,

while I was up there,

I managed to start looking

at some properties to buy.

In Olympia?

No, no, that's just

where the land agents are.

I'd like to look around here.

Well, then I hope

you really win that prize,

and not just because

I want you

to beat Ronny Williamsburg,

but...

Because you really deserve it.

I hope the judges agree.

See you, doc.

Yeah. You too, Will Nash.

Okay, let's see.

We've got four burgers, seven turkey,

eight tuna, two of them on rye,

and one Chinese chicken salad.

- Who's that one for?

- Hank.

- Hey, Luna, Andy.

- Hey, Tom. How's it going?

It's a little bit hectic.

How's the harvest coming?

We are going to be

finished tomorrow, probably.

All right!

Well, see you on Saturday.

I like this place.

- The restaurant?

- No, Pineview.

I wish

we could live here forever.

Well, how would that work?

Well, you could be

a doctor here.

Sweetheart, I don't think

it's that simple.

You helped Bobby,

and the farmer

with the broken leg,

and even Farley.

You kind of are already

the local doctor here, aren't you?

Yeah, kind of.

Look at this one, mom!

Great harvest, everybody.

Can I offer you some pear cider

to celebrate?

You're on.

Thanks.

Sure.

- To the harvest.

- To the harvest.

Bet you're glad

the season's finally over?

Actually, no.

I've always found it

a little bittersweet.

What?

No, it just...

Reminds me of something

my grandfather

always used to say.

"The end of harvest season

isn't an ending.

It's a time for planting

and new beginnings".

I never really appreciated that

until now.

Like the harvest

moon got to you.

It didn't hurt,

but...

I don't know, it's just...

It's different here.

It's better.

So I was thinking

that Andy and I

might stay a while in Pineview.

That's quite a change.

I know...

But I think I might

be ready for a change.

I don't think I've ever had

a candied pear before.

Well, I know you haven't.

It's really good.

Told you so.

Hey, mom,

a pumpkin-carving context!

You should sign up for that.

Me? I don't know anything

about carving a pumpkin.

You're a surgeon.

Isn't that kind of what

you do every day?

He's got a good point.

Come on!

It's the spirit of the thing.

Why not give it a try?

You can't be serious.

Come on, Dr. Gilson!

Please, mom?

Step right up.

Step right up.

- Okay.

- Yes!

Okay.

Okay!

The rules are pretty simple.

Each contestant has a pumpkin,

carving tools,

and 20 minutes

to do their magic.

You'll be judged

on creativity, originality,

and overall appearance.

So...

Let's get to it.

Go, mom!

Okay, contestants,

we're at the halfway point.

10 minutes to go.

Okay, that's it!

Carving tools down, please.

Contestants,

can you please turn

your pumpkins around?

Sheriff Jackson,

could we have the verdict,

please, sir?

'Kay, starry eyes...

Looks like someone I arrested

last month...

And...

Interesting.

Well done, carvers.

Good job...

But this is some fancy carving,

and I would let Dr. Gilson

take out my gall bladder

any day,

and that's why she's the winner.

Mom, can Andy and I

go on the hay ride,

and then watch the

outdoor movie for kids

they're showing after?

Sure. Have fun.

Man, ATV ride,

a hay ride,

and an outdoor movie?

So cool, right?

How about we go

listen to some music?

Sounds good.

Since I'm officially done

for the night,

I wouldn't mind a dance

with my wife.

How about it, you guys?

You know,

I've got to check in with

the judging committee.

I'll catch up

with you guys later.

They don't announce the winner

'til tomorrow.

Never seen Will

with jitters before.

Well, it is the top prize,

so I get that.

Shall we go

get our dancing shoes on?

You guys go ahead.

I'm going to check in

on the boys, okay,

and then have

a little look around.

See ya!

Let's do this!

See, the one in the middle

originally started

as a single pear,

then it grew so close

to another one

that they grew together,

and they call that

a "marriage fruit".

- So...

- So?

How does it feel to be an

award-winning pumpkin carver?

Well, I have been asked

to carve a few pumpkins

for the Halloween dance.

So, you know,

this whole medical thing

doesn't work out,

I can always fall back

on my carving skills.

That mean you're going

to be around for Halloween?

It's looking like it.

Good.

Was kind of getting used to

having you and Andy around.

Is that Farley dancing?

Well...

Not a lot of single men

of a certain age

in a small town.

He's quite in demand.

That's sweet.

What is?

Watching people in love.

Look at Tom and Nicole.

Care to give it a try?

I meant a dance.

I'm a farmer.

I'm not much of a dancer.

Yeah, but you told Andy

you don't have to be a plumber

to know how to fix a leak.

I did say that, didn't I?

You did say that.

I did.

Looks like the moon

came out just for us tonight.

Then we better not waste it.

Well, for a guy who

doesn't know how to dance,

you sure have some good moves.

Think so?

I'm so sorry.

It's my mom.

It's the middle of the night

where they are.

I need to take this.

I'm so sorry.

Mom, is everything all right?

Yep, why don't you turn around

and see for yourself?

What?

What are you guys doing here?

Surprising you, for starters.

The other reason we came back

is because we got

an offer on the farm.

Andy sleeping?

Out like a light.

Okay, so tell me

about this offer on the farm.

Why are you

so concerned about it?

I told you we were

putting it on the market.

Well, yeah, but that was before.

Before what?

Before I realized

that Andy and I belong here.

You can't sell it.

Do we have

to watch the game, mom?

Well, we're not

going to watch it.

I was kind of hoping

we'd play in it.

I got them to bend

the rules a little bit.

What do you say, slugger?

Come on, let's play!

Bobby! I'm playing, too!

All right, Red.

Okay, Red, bottom of the ninth.

We've got two outs.

We're three runs down

with bases loaded.

Now we got Luna Gilson

coming to bat!

Go, mom!

Come on!

Strike one.

You can do it!

Strike two.

All right, Luna!

For a mom, you were better

than most of the dads.

Well, that's because I have

my lucky charm.

You know, I made this

when I was about your age,

after I played

in the father-son game

with grandpa.

I want you to have it.

Man, getting that home run

today off Ronny Williamsburg,

just like I did when I was

a kid, was still awesome.

I don't think Ronny thought so.

Okay, everyone!

The top prize for this

year's harvest festival

is about to be awarded,

so can we please have

everyone head over

towards the main pavilion.

Thank you.

Good luck!

Almost two dozen farms

throughout the state

entered their finest fruits

in this last category,

best overall pear.

Our judges considered

four factors...

Shape, taste, texture,

and skin quality.

It's with great pleasure

that we award this year's prize

to...

Will Nash, representing

Gilson family farms

for their "Gilson Beauty"!

Hey, Marcy!

Am I calling too early?

No, I was just sitting down

for breakfast.

I have you on speaker phone.

How's everything going?

Great.

Our farm just won the big prize

at the harvest festival.

That sounds...

Quaint.

Yeah.

Listen,

I know I owe you a phone call,

and there's something

that I want to discuss with you.

Wait 'til you hear

what I have to tell you first.

I just heard the hospital

is going to promote you

to senior consultant

of general surgery.

You got the promotion!

Pretty amazing, right?

I don't know what to say.

You're their golden girl.

No one works harder than you,

and no one deserves this

more than you do.

It is what every surgeon

works toward.

You'd be the youngest person ever

to hold the position at the hospital.

Yeah.

It does seem pretty crazy to

turn something like that down.

Why would you?

Listen, Marcy,

I've got to call you back.

Andy, you up?

Yeah.

Sweetheart, are you

feeling all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I think

you're just tired, maybe,

from the exciting weekend?

Can I go outside now?

Sure...

yeah, of course.

You can eat

your breakfast later.

Just try to be quiet, okay?

Grandma and grandpa

are still asleep.

Hey.

Just the man I was looking for.

I have something for you.

I saw some of your drawings...

Looked like pears and orchards.

Thought you might want to learn

a little more about them.

Thanks, Will.

Looks old.

It is old.

My dad gave that to me

when I was about your age,

and I figured you'd be

the perfect guy to get it next.

I love it.

You look like you have

something on your mind.

Everything okay?

I heard my mom talking

on the phone.

She's taking a big new job.

So you guys are leaving?

Yeah...

And everything's going to be

just like it used to be.

Hey, there you are.

Why don't you go inside

for a minute?

I've got some big news

to share with you,

grandma, and grandpa.

Bye, Will.

Thanks for the book.

See you, bud.

So, will I see you later?

I don't think so.

Got to make some plans

of my own.

So what's this big surprise

you want us to see?

This.

What do you think about

it for an office space?

It's here in Pineview.

An office?

Yeah.

I'm thinking about hanging up

my shingle here.

After all, this town

could use a doctor.

Luna, I think that's

a wonderful idea!

Don't get me wrong,

I like the idea, too.

Honey, are you sure

this is what you really want?

I've never been more sure

of anything in my entire life.

What do you think, Andy?

I think I'm confused.

Didn't you tell Marcy

we were going back to Seattle

so you could take a new job?

Where did you get

an idea like that?

I heard you on the phone

this morning.

Well then, I guess you missed

the part where I called her back

to turn down the job.

You did?

I want to stay here

in Pineview, too.

After all, you're the one

who gave me the idea

about opening up

my own practice here.

Wait 'til I tell Will

we're not leaving!

You told Will we were leaving?

Gentlemen, this is the property

that I've been talking

to you about.

Excuse me. I'm so sorry.

I don't mean to interrupt,

but Will, can I have

a word with you?

Please? It will only

take a minute.

All right, yeah, sure.

Gentlemen, would you excuse me?

I need to tell you

about Seattle.

There's nothing to tell.

I really have

to get back to them.

I just want you to know that

what Andy told you about us...

Can we do this later, please?

I have to get back

to my investors.

Hey, pal.

Hey, Will.

Can I talk with you

for a minute?

Yeah, sure.

What's on your mind?

Well, here's the thing...

Looks like a cobbler...

Smells like a cobbler...

Tastes like...

A cobbler.

Hey, where have you two been?

Just visiting with a friend.

Have you seen Will,

by any chance?

He hasn't come to see you yet?

I think he's upset with me.

Honey...

Don't worry.

Things always have a way

of working out.

I hope so.

"Meet me at the greenhouse"?

Close your eyes.

Turn around.

Maybe now is the time

to smell the roses.

Maybe it is.

It's beautiful.

I had to come up with

some way to apologize.

I never should have expected the worst,

especially not from you.

- Andy came to talk to me.

- He did, did he?

I'm sorry I didn't come to you sooner.

I was busy making plans.

- What kind?

- The kind where I bought a farm.

That's huge!

It was the "Gilson Beauty"

that made it happen.

Well, I...

I have some news of my own.

I didn't buy a farm.

I did find a storefront where

I hope to open my own practice.

See, now, that's huge!

Looks like we're going

to be neighbors.

Yeah?

So where's this new farm of yours

going to be, Will Nash?

Right here...

But I didn't say it was new.

Will, you bought our farm?

Well, not all of it.

Your parents sold me a parcel.

Well, mom always said,

things did have a way

of working themselves out.

Well, not just yet.

I was hoping that the sale

came with a partner.

Partner plus one?

Was kind of hoping

it was a package deal.

So what are we going

to call this merger?

Gilson-Nash?

Nash-Gilson?

You choose.

I just want to seal the deal.
