- Hi.
[upbeat music continues]
[upbeat music continues]
[upbeat music continues]
[upbeat music continues]
[car engines rumbling]
[upbeat music continues]
[upbeat music continues]
- Thank you!
This book is the truth!
This book is the answers!
It is the word of God!
It can help you
find what you seek!
This book, my friends,
speak to me and repeat.
Come to the ...
- Sure a man of faith.
- Indeed.
- Maybe you can help me
find what I'm looking for.
- Depends on what you seek?
- I'm trying to
find my daughter.
Lost to me when she
was eight years old.
Tell me, where do
people live around here?
- No one lives down here.
They live in the hills.
Hills.
- Up there?
Thank you.
Thank you.
[dramatic music]
[upbeat music]
- Good souls walk among us!
Good souls, my friends!
Repent! Repent!
[soft music]
[soft music continues]
[soft music continues]
- How have you been doing?
- Okay.
- Oh, Chloe, I'm so sorry.
- Mark, that's fine.
- I didn't know
you were with a client.
- Oh, it's okay.
We're still waiting for
her husband to come.
- We just wanted to swing by
real fast to say thank you.
We brought you a gift.
- Ooh, what did you bring me?
- Assorted cookies.
- Thank you. Mark, you know
I specialize in addiction.
Are you trying to
make me relapse?
- Absolutely not.
We just wanna say
thank you so much
for sponsoring the play.
The kids hugely
appreciate it entirely.
- Those kids deserve it.
- They do.
So we, we wanna say
thank you and that's it.
We'll get outta your hair.
- [Chloe] Thank you very
much. Appreciate it.
- Pleasure meeting-
- Nice meeting you.
- When you're doing
that it seems like
it's a whole bigger
deal and it's not.
It's literally just
the exact same thing.
- Right.
- 100%.
Hey!
- Hey.
- How are things?
You look good.
- Likewise.
- Uh, sorry, um, not to be
rude, I've, I've got a meeting.
- Of course, yeah.
No, of course.
- Good to see you.
- Yeah.
- Good to see you.
And that's her husband.
[soft music]
- Jamie, how are you doing?
Come on in.
[soft music]
- Sorry, I'm late.
I got tied up at work.
- That's okay.
Thanks for coming.
Can I interest you in a cookie?
- No thanks.
- So before you got here,
Nora filled me in a little bit
on some of the issues
you've been dealing with.
- Okay.
[soft music]
- So, I guess, uh, what
I'm saying is it's not easy
to admit when you're
having problems.
It's actually easier to
pretend everything's fine.
- I've done it for a long time.
- How do you feel
sitting here right now?
- I guess nervous.
- That's normal.
- However, even admitting
there are problems,
I think that what
you're wanting to do
is really something that
shouldn't be taken lightly.
- Why not?
- Why not?
It's been a long time coming.
- Can I ask, uh, how long
have you two been married?
- 16 years.
- 17.
- 17.
We got married when
we were really young.
- That's a long time.
It's hard to keep things
fresh for that long.
- Amen. [chuckles]
- Jamie, remind me what
you do for a living.
- Depends when you ask him.
- I'm an entrepreneur.
- So you own a business?
- Owned a few over the years.
None of them really panned out,
but about a year ago
I bought a restaurant.
- A bar.
- It was both, yeah.
- Okay, on the phone you said
things really came to a head
about a year ago.
Is that because of the bar?
- Did you go over your script?
Nelen, your audition's
today, right?
- Oh, yeah.
- Well, aren't you excited?
- What's a land farm?
- Uh, it's kinda like
how the land is formed.
I don't know. What is that?
So is Ireland a peninsula,
an island, or a continent?
We have to do this
themed dance thing.
- You do know that we're Irish.
- That's why I picked it.
- So what is it?
- I don't know,
but we have to go.
All right, I've washed
your ballet shoes,
I've put them in your backpack.
And, guys, dad's picking
you up from school today.
If something happens with
the schedule, I'll be there.
- Plan B.
- Always gotta have a plan B.
- All right, are we ready?
- Yup.
- Pen.
- Yes.
- So ...
- [Speaker] Okay. Thank you.
See you later.
- Hi, Doug.
- Mr. Clark, good morning.
- Good morning, buddy.
How you doing?
- Good morning.
How are we?
- Good morning.
I took the liberty to
print out your itinerary.
- Ooh, yes.
Auditions today?
I love that.
- Uh-huh. Yeah.
- Yeah, this is gonna be fun.
- All right, everybody,
it's the real deal today.
Are y'all ready?
- [Group] Yeah.
- Okay.
- Nice to see everybody.
Now listen, this
is very important.
Own your audition, okay?
The stage is yours.
Let's make some art.
- And understand this,
we're on your side.
Okay, so we're rooting for you.
So relax, have fun.
And let's clear the stage.
[upbeat music]
All right, our first
audition is Sammy.
- There's more to a woman
than her flutter kick.
Our kingdom needs a queen.
- Well done, Sammy.
Good, good job.
[group applauds]
Very nice. [chuckles]
- Start.
- Uh, right next up is Taylor.
[upbeat music]
- I just need to get out of here
and walk on the
same ground he is,
breathing the very same air.
If only my father
would understand.
- Very good, Taylor.
Very good.
Good emoting.
Uh, Nelen, you're up.
[upbeat music]
[group whispering indistinctly]
Take your time.
[group whispering indistinctly]
- [Speaker] You got it.
[upbeat music]
- Uh, all right, let's, uh,
let's take a break, everybody,
so just, just five
minute, 10 minute break.
Take 10 minutes.
Be right back.
Just gonna go check,
check on Nelen real quick.
- Just keep
practicing, guys, okay?
Good job.
- Was it nerves?
Is that why he ran off?
- I think so.
He put a lot of pressure
on himself to get the lead.
- [Chloe] How serious
is he about acting?
- Real serious.
He says this is
what he wants to do.
- Nora, remind me what you do.
- I'm a real estate agent.
- [Chloe] Do you like it?
- Yeah, I do.
It was definitely helpful
to have another income
when Jamie's business
was struggling.
- [chuckles] Which one?
- And I had enough
time to juggle around
the kid's schedules,
which was necessary.
[group chattering]
- That file is amazing.
Um, no, these aren't
really a good fit.
This one.
You were talking about school?
- Yes. Yeah.
- This one has an
amazing private school
like three blocks down.
My kids go there.
They have an amazing performing
arts program as well.
And then, I think we've got
time to see three today, so ...
Oh, thank you, Sherry.
- Welcome.
- Thank you.
- Thank you. I love it here.
She's so sweet.
- So, uh, how long
have you actually
been selling real estate?
- About 10 years now, actually.
I love the flexibility of it.
I've got two kids
at home, so ...
- How nice.
Are you married?
- Um, yes, I am.
All right, if we just
move on right here.
Number one, if you would
like to take that one.
Uh, number two and we'll
also go see this one.
It's a wild card, but why not?
We've got time.
All right, guys,
let's get going.
Take our coffees on the road.
[upbeat music]
[upbeat music continues]
- Hey, welcome in.
What can I get started for you?
- Uh, espresso.
- All right, do you want
a single or a double?
- Single.
- All right.
- Oh.
[upbeat music]
- If you, um, have a credit
card I can do tap and go.
Here you go.
Can I get a name for that?
- Uh, Oisin Quinn.
- One more time.
- Oisin Quinn.
- Oisin?
[upbeat music]
[upbeat music continues]
- Oisin?
- Oisin.
- Oisin.
- God love ya.
- All right, it'll be
out in just a second.
[upbeat music]
[patrons chattering]
Oisin?
- Espresso?
In a paper cup?
- Yup.
Enjoy.
[patrons chattering]
[upbeat music]
- Good afternoon.
- Hello.
- I saw your help wanted sign.
[upbeat music]
[upbeat music continues]
Could I have an application?
[upbeat music continues]
[upbeat music continues]
[upbeat music continues]
[upbeat music continues]
- This is our beer list and
c*ck are in the back.
- Uh, do you have Guinness?
- Yes, Sir.
- I'll take a pint.
- [Server] You got it.
- Whoa, whoa.
- Is there something wrong?
- You don't have a
proper tulip glass.
You know, the pour of the
Guinness is just as important
as to the taste of the beer.
It has to be a two-part pour.
The first, the settle and
the second to top it off.
- Can you teach me?
- First ...
Take the glass under the
top at a 45-degree angle.
If you pour straight on,
the Guinness would froth,
and the taste of the
beer would be bruised.
And you pour the Guinness
slowly right on the edge.
Fill it up until it reaches
the age of the tulip 'ole.
Then, we let it set.
We give it a moment.
Now this, is we're building
that beautiful black mass
of velvety beer.
Oh, I forgot.
We take it, put it under the tap
and more slowly this time
pour directly into the middle.
This is where we construct
that beautiful foam.
And that's a perfect pint.
Below, the stout dark ale.
On top, the creamy white foam
just above the pint glass.
Perfect.
That's the art of beer.
- The art of beer.
Jamie, owner here.
- Nice to meet ya.
Oisin Quinn.
- [Jamie] Nice to meet you.
- This selection,
that's all you got here?
- [Jamie] Something
wrong with that?
- Other than Guinness,
it's rubbish.
I mean, Bud Light? Really?
- Are you some
sort of beer maker?
- Brewmaster.
I worked for over a dozen
breweries in Ireland,
including the Guinness family.
- Well, what would you
wanna see up there?
- And I'd like to
see your brews.
I'd like to see your creations.
- It's just what we
get when we get 'em.
- You're telling me
you don't brew your own
ale in your own pub?
What's all this equipment
you got back there?
- I literally just bought
the place like a month ago.
I don't know how those
things even work.
Do you wanna go,
do you wanna go see 'em?
- Aye. Of course.
[machines rumbling]
You got all this and
you're serving Bud Light?
- I mean, they came
with the place.
I don't know what they do.
I just know they brew beer.
- Boil kettles.
And the brew comes out of 'em.
You've ...
You've got everything here.
- Yeah.
- I'll tell you what, Mr. Jamie,
I will come here and brew
you the finest beer in town.
Then, it'll be a real brew pub.
- Well, we were actually
thinking of changing the name
to Tap House.
- No, it's a brewery.
- So keep it brewery?
- Aye.
- Yeah, I like that.
What are we talking money wise?
- I need ...
I need two meals
a day, $45 a week,
and 10% of every pint I brew.
- $45?
- And 10% of every pint I brew.
[machines rumbling]
- You got yourself a deal.
[Oisin chuckles]
- You hired him on the spot?
That's a lot of trust
for someone you just met.
- [chuckles] Trust me, I know.
It sounds crazy.
- [laughs] That's
one way to put it.
- Back then, I didn't
know what I was doing
with the restaurant, bar,
but I don't know,
it just felt right.
And, I don't know,
I can't describe it.
- Sounds like faith.
- Sure. Faith.
- So it sounds like he was
gonna make a difference?
- I hoped. [chuckles]
- What about at home?
- I was still struggling.
Jamie was gone a lot
and this felt like just
another pipe dream.
I just wanted him home more.
And I hated that it was a bar.
[bell rings]
Hey, guys, how was school?
- [Nelen] Hey.
- It was good.
- It was good? Yeah?
- Where's dad?
- Oh, I'm sorry, he got
stuck at the restaurant.
He's gonna come
over later though
and tuck you guys in.
[somber music]
How was your audition?
- Uh, it was good.
- You nailed it, didn't ya?
- Yeah.
- Let's go celebrate then.
- Yeah, Mom, whatever.
[somber music]
- Do you need me?
- No.
- In Ireland, we have a saying.
The well fed do not
understand the lean.
You gotta share the work.
- You sound like my wife.
sh**t, I gotta go.
- I'll take this.
I'll take it.
Mr. Jamie, do you mind if
I take this glass with me?
- You gonna do shots?
- No.
- Yeah, sure. Take it.
Whatever you want.
Thanks for your help.
- If we take what Pastor
John said last week
and actually apply it,
we know that forgiveness is
required by all believers.
- Well, that is a
tough one sometimes.
- Get this, the latest
in the Jamie situation.
He bought a restaurant.
- What kind of restaurant?
- A restaurant with
a room out back
with all of these
big tanks in there.
- Hmm.
- Like a brewery?
- A brewery.
- Does he even know
how to brew beer?
- No.
The only thing Jamie
knows about beer
is how to drink it.
- Oh, boy.
- Grace, anything?
- Listen, forgiveness is hard.
It's something we should do
just like we should eat
our fruits and vegetables.
- I don't know
about eating them,
but I'm really good
at drinking them.
- To forgiveness.
Come on, bring it in.
- Mm-hmm.
- Forgiveness.
- You don't like forgiveness?
- Not necessarily.
- Why?
- It just feels like since
we're told to forgive
somebody can do
whatever they want to
and not make any changes and
then just ask for forgiveness.
- Did your kids forgive Jamie
for not picking
them up at school?
[somber music]
- Madison, you awake, baby?
[somber music]
[somber music continues]
Just wanted to say good
night and I love you.

Madison was out.
Think she's getting more sleep?
- I'd say so.
Hence, she was asleep.
[no audio]
They don't have food
at your restaurant?
- We do.
I just don't have
time to eat it.
- Well, it is Friday and the
usual bar crowd will be there.
You'll be there in
the midst of it all.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- It's a bar.
My husband opens up a bar
and I'm supposed to
be okay with that?
- It's a business.
- [scoffs] Yeah.
Like the T-shirt stand
or the pretzel shop
or the bike repair store.
- Nora, stop.
Please.
- I'm sorry.
Just, I don't like it.
This isn't what I want.
- I'm in it already.
Let me get it up and
running and I'll sell it.
- Okay.
[no audio]
[no audio]
[no audio]
- You gonna ask me if I
was staying over tonight?
- Well, are you?
I'm not waiting up
until 3:00 a.m. again.
I'm exhausted.
- Let me help.
[Nora sighs]
- You are the reason
I'm exhausted.
[no audio]
- Maybe I'll swing over tomorrow
and I'll pick the kids up
and take 'em to a movie.
- Okay.
- I have to get back
to the restaurant.
[no audio]
Didn't want to admit it,
but my drinking had
been getting worse.
- [Chloe] Why do
you think that was?
- Lying to myself.
I said everything that I did,
all the businesses
was for my family,
but selfishly it was for me.
- [Chloe] What do you mean?
- I think I was just
trying to prove to myself
that I built something,
I had value.
Every business had failed,
so proved that I did.
- [Chloe] And the drinking?
- It was a mask.
[patrons chattering]
[Jamie speaks indistinctly]
- How's it going, boss?
- [Jamie] Thanks for coming in.
Yeah. Good, good.
- What's with you?
- Right back at you.
Everything good here?
- Yeah.
- Hey, what's up, my guy?
What's up?
How you doing?
You like the place?
- I was freaked out.
I saw the poster.
- Feeling brand new?
- Okay.
Ah, awesome.
That's good.
Uh, do you want another beer?
- Yeah.
- Get one.
[upbeat music]
- Good morning.
- Morning.
What can I get you?
- I'll take an espresso.
- All right.
[cash register beeps]
Here you go.
- Thank you.
- What was the name for that?
- Oisin.
I-S-I-N.
[upbeat music]
- All right, that'll be
out in just a minute.
[upbeat music continues]
[upbeat music continues]
Oisin?
- Ah, you're a darling.
Thank you.
[upbeat music]
[upbeat music continues]
[upbeat music continues]
Ah.
[upbeat music continues]
[upbeat music continues]
- Hi, Sherry.
- Hey, how's it going?
- Good. Thank you.
- Oh, all ready for me?
- Mm-hmm.
- Thank you so much.
- Uh, oops.
[cashier beeps]
All right. There you go.
- [Nora] Thank you.
Have a good day.
See you tomorrow.
[upbeat music continues]

Mr. Jamie?
Are you all right?
- Huh?

Oishay?

- Give me a minute.
- Thanks.
[no audio]
[no audio]
[Jamie groans]
[Jamie sighs]
- Thanks for waking me up.
- Kitchen door was unlocked.
- I must've forgot.
- Big night.
- Think so.
[no audio]
- Do you live here, Mr. Jamie?
- No.
I mean, I stay here a
couple days a week, but ...
wife's not big on
the new venture.
- Mr. Jamie, you believe in God?
- Yeah, I believe in God.
Go to church a couple
days a week actually.
- No, God made this. All this.
The hops, the barley,
the grapes, the
fermentation process.
[no audio]
- He made it so we
couldn't enjoy it.
- No.
He created it.
Created it so we could enjoy it.
Look, Jesus was just a
boy, probably a teenager.
Him and his mother
went to a wedding.
No, weddings are not
like they are today.
Back then, they were
festivals, days long.
Anyway, Mary, the
mother of Jesus,
knew that he was the son of God,
full of wonder and power.
But about halfway
through the festival,
probably day two, they ran
out of wine, the red stuff.
Well, that would be like you
in the middle of your party
here last night.
Now everyone was disappointed.
So Mary, the mother of
God, asks him to make wine.
Imagine that.
The first presentation to
the world that he is God,
turning water into wine, so
the party could keep going.
[chuckles] You know
what he says to her?
He says to her, "Mama, what
does this have to do with me?"
[Oisin laughs]
[Oisin sighs]
Do you have children, Mr. Jamie?
- [sighs] Uh, yeah.
Two. Boy and a girl.
- Well, just
imagine, just imagine
if they responded like that way
to something you asked them.
- I had one very much like that.
- The point of
the story is this.
Jesus, God, chose wine
as his first miracle,
the key to his entire ministry.
And he did this first to
please his mother, his family.
And second, to
please everyone else.
Family always comes
first, Mr. Jamie.
- Oh, my son actually
has a basketball
scrimmage this morning.
- Well, you should go.
Go, I'll take care of this.
- Who's gonna open up the shop?
- Well, I'll have your
staff open up the shop.
And I'm going to make beer.
- Sure.
[whistle screeches]

- Could I get everyone
together, please?
Michael, Ashley,
Shannon, Robby, Lily.
We open in 15 minutes.
Now, Mr. Jamie is
off with his family
so it's up to us to open
and open in excellence.
[employee chuckles]
What's so funny?
- Excellency, your highness?
- Of course.
Everything we do should
be in excellence.
How many of you
like your jobs here?
Nice.
Now Arthur Guinness
once told his employees
their only job was to do
everything in excellence.
Everything.
It's in excellence that we
show our true character, huh?
Let's have a good day.
[no audio]
[soft music]
[soft music continues]
- Good evening.
- Your table will be
ready in just a second.
Why don't you just take a seat?
[ethereal music]
- [Oisin Voiceover]
Is that, uh ...
- That was fast.
- Dad, what'd you get for me?
- Your favorite.
- What did he get you?
Is it really your favorite?
- Hey, why don't you go change
before we head to the park?
- Yeah.
- How was ballet today?
- It was good.
- Yeah, what did you guys do?
- Oh, we were
working on our plies.
- Hey ...
- Uh ...
- I got somebody I
want you guys to meet.
Just hired him.
Irish guy back there
working on the brewery.
Says he could turn it
around, get things working.
[soft music]
[patrons chattering]
- He said, "Irish guy"?
- Yeah, I think so.
[soft music]
- Thank you, Lord.
Thank you, Lord. Thank you.
- He's not back there.
Must've left for the day.
- What's his name?
- Ocean, Oisin, I don't know.
It's Irish.
- Older guy?
- Yeah.
- You all right?
Well, let's get this
food in our bellies,
get to the park, shall we?
[soft music]
[patrons chattering]
[child cries and screams]
You know, your height's an
advantage for you in basketball.
- Yeah, I agree.
Just it's weird being taller
than all the other kids.
- Well, you know, if you
work on your post game ...
[child screams]
little power dribbles, boom.
[children chattering]
Right here.
Beat up on those kids all day.
- [Nelen] Yeah.
- Check ball.
- Dad, why do you sleep at
the restaurant sometimes?
- Well, it's a late
night crowd, honey.
I don't wanna come home
and disturb you guys.
- Are you and mom
getting a divorce?
- [Jamie] [scoffs] No,
we're not getting a divorce.
- Why do you never
wear your ring?
[children chattering]
- Daddy's working on
getting it fixed, okay?
- Can you not, not
leave us at school
and, and maybe be around
a little more at night?
- I will, I promise.
- You know, you say it,
you better mean it.
- [Jamie] Oh, I mean it.
Oh, you're gonna do that?
Come on.
Power dribble.
Boom, right?
Try.
[children chattering]
Body don't move like it
used to before the kids.
- We were just kids
ourselves back then.
- You know, I think
this is the first time
I've gotten out since we
opened up the restaurant.
- Since you opened.
- It's our family's, it's ours.
- It's not mine.
This is just another phase.
- Nora, you said yourself
it was a good deal.
We got the building
for next to nothing.
I'll turn it around.
- Or it'll turn you around.
- Just don't say it.
[children chattering]
Hey, what's going on?
- I told you, Jamie, I don't
wanna be around all of that.
[children chattering]
Well, this Irish guy,
where did you find him?
- I didn't.
He just showed up.
And get this, he only
wanted $45 a week.
- $45?
- Yeah.
Uh ...
- Hey, uh, I gotta
go run some errands,
uh, can you drop the kids
off and I'll walk home?
- Well, I have to get back to
the restaurant at some point.
- Yup, you have to.
Um, see you later.
[children chattering]
- [Chloe] You guys were having
a good time at the park.
What made you wanna leave?
- [sighs] Um, there was
something I'd been suspecting
for a while.
I could feel it.
I had to go confirm it.

- What are you doing here?
- Came to find you.
- How did you find this place?
- Followed the beer
and God did the rest.
- Oh, you and your beer.
- How did you know?
- I guess it was God,
but when Jamie said, "45 a
week," that's when I knew.
It was the best-
- Best real estate deal-
- Yeah, the four, five.
[soft music]
I think you told me
that story 1,000 times
when I was younger.
It was a 9,000 year
lease for 45 a week.
I guess that's why
I'm in real estate.
- Let's go sit.
Sit.
[soft music]
Let's go.
[patrons chattering]
I saw your children.
Beautiful.
- [Nora] Thank you.
- What are their names?
- Well, there's
Madison and, uh, Nelen.
- That's a good Irish name.
[soft music]
Your husband, he's a kind man.
- He's a dreamer kinda
like someone else I knew.
- Nora, I want you to know
I came here to find you,
but all this, I just
can't explain it.
- God and beer.
- I'd understand if it's
too much [indistinct].
It's been a long time.
- I mean, it is a bit much.
I haven't seen you
in over 20 years
and you show up here in my
husband's play restaurant.
Something he knows nothing about
and he's sunk all
of our savings into.
Not to mention, I'm pretty
sure he's on the path
to becoming an alcoholic.
- I understand.
[soft music]
How was lunch?
- Here?
- Aye, here.
- Fine.
- Could be better?
- Well, yes.
The food was bland and
you're doing it too.
You're trying to rope me
in like the rest of them.
This is not a family project.
I have a job, a really good one.
Do you know I was
awarded Las Vegas'
best residential real estate
agent for two years in a row?
I do that, I help the church,
I help with the community.
I'm raising two kids
basically on my own
and on top of that
my crazy husband
goes and opens a tap house.
- Perhaps.
- Whatever.
[soft music]
[patrons chattering]
- It'll be all right.
- Just like that, I felt like
everything was gonna be okay.
How does that happen?
- Dad power.
Seriously, they, uh,
they just have a
way of doing that.
- But you don't know my dad.
He's just like Jamie.
I remember when I
was a little girl
he'd take me to these fields
and we'd be walking around
and he'd pick up
these plants and beans
and anything you could
find on the ground
talking about how
he's gonna make
the greatest beer in the world.
- So characters run
in the family, huh?
- Hmm, apparently.
Yeah.
He was all about making, about
creating, just like Jamie.
- Just like you.
- No.
Okay, you are no help.
- But I'm right.
So where is he now?
- I guess he's at
the bar making beer.
- Making beer for your family.
- Making beer for Jamie.
- Mm-hmm.
And where's Jamie?
- Oh, he's there.
- Have you told him?
- No.
I told my dad not to tell him.
I thought I better
tell him myself.
- That's a good idea.
I guess the kids don't know.
Whoo, 20 years.
It's been 20 years
since you've seen him.
- I was just a little girl when
my mom took me from Ireland.
My dad said he would
never come to America.
- Yet, here he is.
- Of all the gin joints
in all of the towns.
- What are you gonna do?
- I don't know.
- I have an idea.
- I don't like your ideas.
- It's a good one.
You should invite him
to church tomorrow.
It's a place that you
don't have to talk,
someone else is doing that,
and you can sit with the
family and feel the moment.
[both laugh]
- Feel the moment?
- Feel the moment.
Why don't you text
him? Invite him.
- You think I should?
- Yeah. It's, it's time.
Come on.
- I don't even think
he has a phone number.
- Of course not.
- I don't even know
where he's staying.
I know nothing, I, uh ...
- It's easy.
Text Jamie.
Have him invite Oisin.
Oisin?
Is that his name?
- Oisin.
- Oisin.
Okay, that's a weird name.
- Good old Irish name.
- Text him. Come on.
- You really think I should?
- I do.
You're not inviting
a guy out on a date.
It's your father, all right?
Send the text or I will.
- Okay.
Why am I nervous?
- I don't know.
Well, 'cause it's been 20 years.
You want more coffee, hurry up.
- Okay, send.
- Okay.
Coffee.
- Okay, yeah.
- Let me go get more.
- I need some.
- Want me to get it?
- Yes. Thank you.
- You're welcome.
[soft music]
[patrons chattering]
- Okay, we spoke together.
It was me who think
about his ear.
- Last trip, okay?
- Sure.
- Yeah.
It's been a long day.
Last trip.
- [Server] Yeah, of course.
- Good night.
[soft music]
[patrons chattering]
[phone ringing with
indistinct music]
[soft music]
[patrons chattering]
Hey, my wife just texted me.
Wants to know if you
wanna come to church
with us tomorrow.
- Me?
- Yeah.
- I told her about you.
- Well, of course.
[soft piano music]
- Jamie's special.
- Why don't you go home, Dee?
[soft piano music]
[patrons chattering]
I know there are, uh, two
types of drinkers in the world,
the certain and the uncertain.
Those that know are certain.
Guess I'll have only
one drink, maybe two.
Drink at a ballpark,
glass of wine with dinner.
But with the uncertain,
it's going to be one drink
or it could be 20 drinks.
It's the 20 drinks
that can get you.
And those are in the
uncertain category
should just not drink.
- I could have just one drink.
- I believe ya.
But you could also have more.
- You said yourself
that alcohol wasn't bad.
Jesus created it.
- Oh, I did and I stand by that.
Good. Fair.
Picture, if you will,
a young man sitting in a
large cathedral in Dublin
with his wife and daughter.
He was a young entrepreneur
named Arthur Guinness
and he was a brewer.
But back then, people
didn't understand the germs,
and viruses and microorganisms.
Well, they would quite
often they would put
their sewage and their garbage
in the same water
that they drank from.
And of course, people got sick.
People started dying,
so they started avoiding
water altogether.
And they turned to only
drinking alcoholic beverages.
But sometimes it wasn't too bad,
you know, when it was right.
But sometimes, they
were given to excess
and drunkenness
was all the rage.
This is what the historians
call The Gin Craze.
Back in 1689, the
Irish government forbid
the importation of all liquor.
So of course, people
started making their own.
The temptation was too great.
But back in Dublin, every
sixth house was a gin house
with a sign in the window
that said, "Drunk for a penny.
Dead drunk for a twelve pence
and a clean straw for nothing."
But was a terrible time
with crime and poverty.
Now, inside Arthur Guinness
was a devout Christian.
But he was there under the
patience of John Wesley, yeah?
He was to say,
"Earn all you can,
save all you can,
give all you can."
So Arthur Guinness, he
saw there was a need
and he created a drink
that was less important
to the alcoholic beverages.
He took the teachings of Christ,
the teachings of God, and
he put it into his business.
So Guinness, it's
not just about beer.
Guinness is about
what God can do
if someone is willing
to do something noble
and good in the world.
- So if you have your
Bibles this morning,
open if you would to
Matthew Chapter 25.
This is the most important
time of Jesus' ministry.
This is the time when he
faced the very purpose
of why God sent
him to this earth,
the incarnate Christ,
to come to save mankind
from their sins.
- Uh, all right, kids,
clean that off for me
and we'll get set up
for lunch. [groans]
[objects clattering]
- Oh, did you make
that, my dear?
- Yeah, it's for friend, Tenley.
- Oh, it's beautiful.
Reminds of the Castle
Leap in Ireland.
- They have castles in Ireland?
- Aye.
And it's haunted.
That's the castle where
Halloween comes from.
Would you like to hear the tale?
- Yeah.
- Many years ago,
back in Ireland,
there was a fellow named Jack.
Jack was not a good man.
No.
In fact, God didn't
allow him into heaven
for him being so bad.
So there's nowhere left to go.
Jack was left to
wander Ireland freely.
The people were afraid of him,
so they would take
candles and light 'em
and place 'em inside
pumpkins to scare away Jack.
And that is why we
have jack-o'-lanterns
to scare away the
ghost of Jack! [laughs]
- [Nora] Dad!
- Dad?
- Uh, kids, um, I told you
to clear that up already.
Go wash your hands
for lunch quickly.
- Yeah.
Now. Thank you.
[soft music]
- Why did you just
call him "Dad"?
- 'Cause this is my dad.
- When were you gonna tell me?
- I just found out he was here.
- Uh, aye. [chuckles]
Uh, I came here to find
her, this, my daughter,
but when I found your place,
right, it's just not a less
than divine intervention
as we've come to define it.
- So you two have talked?
- Well, when were
you gonna tell me?
- Don't overdramatize
this, Jamie.
- No, wait.
Do the kids know?
- Well, I suspect
they've got a clue now.
- Hey, kids!
This is Grandpa Guinness.
How about just grandpa?
Grandpa Quinn.
- Have you ever met a princess?
Do you live in a castle?
- I did.
- Does it rain a lot there?
- It does rain.
[Madison laughs]
Enough of that.
- Come and sit down, please.
[Oisin laughs]
- Oh my gosh, I should've,
I should've known.
And your maiden name is Quinn.
And the pocket watch, it just,
it all makes sense now.
- What watch?
[soft music]
[soft music continues]
- I remember when I gave
you this when I was little
just before we left.
You kept this the whole time?
- It's been with me every day.
[soft music]
- Guys, this is a
very special day.
I have my dad and my children.
Our children have
their grandpa here.
So, Dad, would you
like to say a blessing?
- Oh, I normally be honored,
but, uh, it's not my home.
[soft music]
- Shall we?
[soft music continues]
Dear Heavenly Father,
I just wanna thank you.
Thank you for my wife
[soft music]
and this new experience we're
about to go on together,
one that we need.
And I wanna thank you
for my kids.
And Grandpa Quinn.
And most importantly,
I wanna thank you
for this food that
you provided us
and use it to
nourish our bodies.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
- Amen.
[laughs] Nora,
this is delicious.
You just whipped this up?
- She's such a good cook.
You wouldn't even know
that those were leftovers.
Actually, I've been
trying to get her
to give me a couple
recipes for the restaurant.
- Can we not talk about the
restaurant right now, please?
- Why not?
Maybe it's something that
we can all do as a family.
- As a family?
What?
I cook the food,
you make the beer,
the kids can wait tables
and wash the dishes,
and you can sit at the bar?
[soft music]
I'm sorry.
- I could wait tables.
- Yeah, I could,
uh, do the dishes.
Um, I love that machine.
- You'd really wanna do that?
- [Nelen] Yes.
[soft music]
[soft music continues]
- Okay, we can help.
I can do my real
estate during the day,
but I still want them going
to their summer arts programs.
- Are we serious?
- Yeah.
[Oisin laughs]
But there's one stipulation.
- Name it.
- We have to close every
night by 10:00 p.m.
- We'll miss the bar crowd.
- We'll miss the bar crowd
or you'll miss the bar crowd?
Think about it.
That's my one stipulation.
That way, you're home
every night here with us.
[soft music]
- Yeah.
- [Nora] Yeah?
- Yeah.
[hand bangs]
- Yeah.
- Let's eat.
[group laughs]
Eat 'em.
[soft music]
I mean, I was obviously shocked
to find out that
Oisin was her father.
- I could imagine
that's overwhelming
for both of you.
- Yeah, it was surprising.
But I couldn't not
believe what he said
that God had showed him the way.
- And we were so
busy at this point
it just felt like
the new normal.
And I got to spend
more time with the kids
and everything just
started to get better.
[upbeat Irish music]
[upbeat Irish music continues]
Oh, hey, Robby?
- Yeah.
- Remind me tomorrow to
change the sign outside
to closing at 10:00
p.m., all right?
- 10:00 p.m.? Gotcha.
- Nice.
[upbeat Irish music]
[upbeat Irish music continues]
- Put it over here.
We've got to cool it down.
[upbeat Irish music]
[Jamie speaks indistinctly]
[upbeat Irish music]
[upbeat Irish music continues]
[upbeat Irish music continues]
- You've been working really
hard at this, Madison.
Grand opening?
My daddy's opening a restaurant.
- That's exciting.
[upbeat Irish music]
[Jamie speaks indistinctly]
- Just [indistinct]
super tight, all right?
[upbeat Irish music]
[upbeat Irish music continues]
[upbeat Irish music continues]
- Sure.
- There you go.
[person speaks indistinctly]
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, h*, h*.
[upbeat Irish music continues]
[group laughs]
[upbeat Irish music continues]
- That's good, buddy.
- And then, this is the ...
- Just happy. That's all.
- Where am I going
to find eventually
a girl who's as carefree
and alive as the sea itself?
Where?
[upbeat Irish music continues]
[person laughs]
[bell rings]
- Okay, no running!
You don't have to run! [laughs]
That was a good day.
- It was absolutely amazing day.
So, uh, anyway, that's Jamie.
- Oh, Nelen's dad?
- Yes. Yeah.
- Hey, hi, you're Nelen
and Madison's dad, right?
- Yeah, yeah, Jamie.
- Yeah, I'm Mark.
I'm the principal here.
- Nice to meet you.
- Great to finally meet you.
Your kids are fantastic.
Your son, in particular, is
really coming out of his shell,
so to speak.
He's a natural. He is.
- Oh, thank you.
- He is amazing.
Hi.
- How are you?
- How are you doing?
- Good. Nice to see you.
- Have you spoke to Nora?
- Yes, I did.
- So we're having a
grand opening at the
brewery on Monday.
Love to have you guys show up.
- Oh.
- Got it. Yeah.
- Oh, uh, Madison. [indistinct]
What up? Come here.
- Brewery?
- Yes.
- I don't drink.
- I do.
And his wife is an amazing cook.
- Oh no.
- You're gonna love this place.
- Well, I eat.
I will definitely
eat. That's good.
- Yeah, I know that.
- Jamie has been more
present with the family,
which I was grateful for,
but I couldn't help but wait
for the other shoe to drop.
- Like what?
- Well, he was still
at the bar a lot.
I didn't know if I
could trust him yet.
- Had a lot of reason not to.
- Were you still drinking?
- I hadn't let myself
admit that I had a problem.
It's a tough habit to kick,
especially when you own a bar.
[soft music]
[soft music continues]
[soft music continues]
[soft music continues]
[soft music continues]
[soft music continues]
[soft music continues]
- Oh, I'm glad you're here.
I wanted to show you this
ale I've been working on.
This is a Doppelbock beer.
Back in the 18th Century,
Paulaner monks from Germany
used to brew this dark,
heavy and nutty beer
called Doppelbock for Lent.
You see, they weren't allowed
to eat solid food for 40 days
and beer was the
next best thing.
This beer was so nutritious
that it nourished them
for the entire 40
days of the fast.
Now this is our version.
It's quite tasty.
[soft music]
Lent is a funny thing.
It's kind of like our own
personal sacrifice to God.
We give up something
and in return
we show respect to our creator.
I had a friend back in
Ireland, brewmaster.
He was a little too
close to his own work
if you know what I mean.
He gave up drinking his
own brew for 40 days.
He reversed it.
And then, he did another 40
days and another and another.
Look at this.
You ever wonder why beer
is different colors?
- It never really crossed
my mind, but sure.
- Beer, time is color.
As the beer ages, it
changes its appearance.
Now in this glass,
there are 1,000s of
tiny little particles,
yeast, hops, citrus.
But after a while,
all these unseen particles
fall to the bottom of the glass
never to be seen again.
That's when the beer
finds its true color.
Sometimes, we must
let things fall.
Let's go home.
[soft music]
[soft music continues]
[soft music continues]
- I thought you were
supposed to drink it.
- Hello, me darling.
Oh, well, all your taste
buds are in your mouth,
so no need to go down
the hatch, as they say.
Besides, getting
the taste just right
takes a lot of practice.
- That's gross.
- I agree. [laughs]
- You really know
what all this does?
- Aye.
- I better go.
Mom doesn't like it here.
- Really?
Well, why is that?
- Beer, yuck.
She says it's not good for you.
Says dad likes it though.
- Do you like ice cream?
Me too.
Now tell me, have you
ever had a whole tub of it
or just a few scoops?
You like working here?
- Yeah, it's cool!
I hope my dad will
let me keep my tips.
- Ooh, I'm sure he
will, me darling.
I'm sure he will.
You know, your dad
is very proud of you.
He told me that himself.
- [laughs] That's cool.
- This place isn't just
about beer, you know?
No, it's about, uh, it's
about friends and family.
People are getting
together to eat.
Now tell me, no, uh, uh, you're
going to a birthday party
or going to some friends
you go out to eat, yeah?
It's about food?
- Yeah, yeah.
- That's what this place is.
In fact, my dear Madison, the
Bibles that we study in church
talks a lot about
people getting together
and eating in places like this.
Eating and celebrating.
And that's what your
dad has created here.
- Hey, Dad.
- Hi.
You helping Grandpa Q?
- Just, just grandpa.
I'm gonna go say hi to Lily.
- She called me
"grandpa." [indistinct].
- So the Bible has places
just like this, huh?
- Aye.
Not just like this.
Plus they ate and they
ate a lot. [chuckles]
- Jesus feeding the multitude.
I find that hard to believe.
- Right. Really?
First, you have the Last Supper.
Then, after that you got to
the Feast of the Passover,
the Feast of the Tabernacle,
the Feast of the Tempest,
the Feast of the First Fruits,
and the Feast of the-
- All right. I get it.
They ate a lot of
food in the Bible.
- Right.
Good.
- Hey.
Thank you.
[soft music]
- [sighs] Hey, did
you remember to re-ice
the flounder in the walk in?
[soft music]
You know, I just
sold a house to a guy
that brings in fresh
lobsters twice a week.
I was thinking about adding
a surf and turf or something
to the menu for
the grand opening.
- That's good.
- Hey,
what's up?
- Someone offered
me a drink tonight.
I said, "No."
- Okay.
- Just been thinking
about quitting.
- Do you need to quit?
- I think so.
- Okay.
Well, good.
Quit.
Do you know why I love you?
- No.
- You are the hardest
working man I know.
You let nothing go,
nothing passes you by.
Everything's an
opportunity for you
and nothing's negative.
You're just like my dad.
Successful, driven, creative.
I could go on. [chuckles]
- Please do.
[soft music]
[soft music continues]
- It's just I'm a dreamer.
Just don't know
if it's realistic.
- Of course it's realistic.
Look at what we've
done together.
My dad is here, Maddie's
talking to you again.
That in itself is a ...
Nelen looks up to you.
I'm loving all of this.
Our family is good.
And you're the torch
behind all of them.
- Torch?
[soft music]
[soft music continues]
[Jamie sighs]
[soft music]
- Good morning.
- Morning.
- Could I, uh, let me
show you something.
- Sure.
- Hey, I, uh,
I wanna say I appreciate
you for last night.
Not really sure
what I was thinking.
- Right.
Thinking is one thing,
doing is another.
For a man, temptation is not
a sin, it's a curse. [laughs]
- [Jamie] Yeah.
Hey, do you think we're
gonna have the new beers
on tap by the weekend?
- I do.
You will have your own pilsner.
[Jamie laughs]
Will be the talk of the town.
- Ah, I'm so glad you came here.
- I am too.
I am too.
[soft music]
You know, I've played out
the scenario a thousand times
reintroducing myself to Nora.
Never thought it'd
play out like this.
You're the torch of this family.
- That's funny.
Nora called me a
torch last night.
- In Ireland, the torch
represents the we, foundation
You know your, uh,
Statute of Liberty,
when it first came here
it was just a torch.
The statue was
built up around it.
Everyone in Ireland knows that.
- Hmm.
Also missed that
in history class.
But I like it.
I am the torch.
- You're a good man, Jamie,
and I'm happy that
Nora's with you.
- I'm not perfect.
- None of us are.
- What is struggle?
We keep going.
We pray to God to
provide his divine way.
- Should we do that now?
- Course.
[soft music]
- Sounds like you're in a
really good place right now.
- We are.
- We've learned to trust that
God knows what he's doing.
- Definitely.
- And Oisin.
- Him too. [chuckles]
- Jamie, are you still sober?
- It's been nine months now.
- [Chloe] How's it been?
- Not easy, but, uh, worth it.
- Really proud of him.
- You should be.
And, Jamie, you should
be proud of Nora.
- Oh, I am.
She's put up with a
lot over the years
and never gave up on me.
Everything that we've conquered
has been because of her.
You know, coming
today it was her idea.
- So let's talk about
what you're wanting to do.
- In renewing our vows?
- Yeah.
What made you book a counseling
session before doing that?
- Well, like we said,
you know, pretended
like everything was okay
for a long time and
things are good right now,
but we don't wanna get
back to that place again.
- I think that's really smart.
Think of it like a
tuneup for your car.
[both chuckle]
- But make sure she doesn't
trade in this old model
for a new one.
- [laughs] Don't worry,
I like my cars vintage.
[car engines rumble]
[soft music]
[soft music continues]
- Wanna grab something to eat
before you pick up the kids?
- Sure.
But first, I have something
I'd like to give to you.
- Is that a ...
- A torch.
I thought you might
like to wear something
that symbolizes all of
the sacrifices you've made
for our family.
- I love you.
- I know.
I'll wait to see
Your golden smile
Feel of 1,000 kisses
Oh, please stay awhile
I'll reach up to hold
Your sunlit face
Feels like a
handful of silk down
I'll be your warm embrace
Oh, I hope this
feeling lasts
Till the oceans
turn to glass
And the world around us
turns and fades to black
Together we'll
hold back the sun
In this moment
forever be young
Against the same
old town we will go
Baby, we'll hold
back the sun
In this moment
forever be young
Against the same
old town we will go
Baby, we'll hold
back the sun
In this moment, forever
