The Ultimate Legacy Page #4

tray, and I'll tell ya.

I've watched them all.

Jason:

Where did you get those?

There's nothing about

Anderson house I don't know,

except why my grandmother

dragged me back here for a year.

So, I did some digging.

Well, she must have

had her reasons.

How old were you

when your dad died?

Not old enough.

Did you two have

a good relationship?

He loved me and my mom.

We, uh...

We moved back here

when my mom got sick,

and when she died

everything changed.

He started drinking.

Couldn't stand it.

Couldn't stand what?

He couldn't stand that

even though he had all the money

in the world

he couldn't save my mother.

So, uh, he put a bullet

through his head.

I'm sorry.

That is not gonna

happen to me.

The gift of money

is next, right?

How fitting.

Goodnight, Joey.

I'll see ya next week.

I'll remember you

and you'll be there

inside my mind

inside my soul

you know something?

Hmm.

Well, you can't tell anybody.

What?

I like this design

a lot more than I like mine.

It has a nice peaceful energy.

Yeah, yeah, it does.

I'll be leaving at sunup.

I know, Gus. Thank you.

Hello?

I have you

on speakerphone.

Kelly's here.

How did it go?

Did you know that

Joey's dad shot himself?

Can you hear me?

Yes.

Yes, you can hear me,

or yes, you knew?

Yes, I knew.

We thought it would be better

if Joey trusted you enough

to tell you himself,

and he did.

Well, I think that

Joey's more than satisfied

the gift of work.

Is it a fitting

tribute to miss Sally's legacy?

It's a mini takamatsu ritsurin.

Kelly:

How much did it cost?

Nothing.

Nothing?

He offered a free weekend

to the families of the men

who provided labor

and materials.

But I saw him

at the garden center.

Did you see him pay?

No, but I bought a plant.

Well, I'm sure he

appreciated your donation.

Hmm. Interesting.

Let's see how he handles

the gift of money.

Good night.

Hmm.

Well, hello there!

You Chloe?

I'm Joey.

Hey, our names rhyme.

If you can hang tough for a bit

with these old people,

I'll promise we'll have some fun

later, okay?

That sounds like fun, yeah?

The memorial garden

is breathtaking.

Thank you. Thank you.

Miss James.

I hope you slept well.

I did.

Thank you, Mr. Anderson.

Well, waking up

is more important

than going to sleep.

I think

they're both important.

Kelly:

Mr. Anderson.

Jason and I agree that you've

satisfied the first requirement.

So let's move along,

shall we?

Oscar, will you ask our other

two guests to join us?

You look good, Forbes.

A little better

than the last time I saw you.

You clean up well.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Hello, everyone.

Hi.

My name's Steve.

Hey.

This is my friend Max.

Nice to meet you.

Joey, these men

are here at my request.

Mr. Forbes knows

a lot about money,

which is today's undertaking,

as you know.

All we ask is that

you hear them out.

Chloe:

And on that note,

we'll catch up with you guys

in a bit.

All right, honey.

Hey, there's

a whole bookshelf

of my old books

in the library.

You know what happens when

you give a mouse a cookie?

Library, daddy!

Okay. Okay, we'll go.

Are you ready? Ugh.

What happens when you

give a mouse a cookie?

Sorry, please, continue.

I toured non-stop

after my first hit record.

My manager,

fearing I'd burn out,

insisted I spend a week

at Anderson house.

I met Steve right here.

We sat across from each other,

and miss Sally sat

right where you are.

Miss Sally worried you

had a warped view of money.

It costs money

to stay gone.

That's my view.

Can you say the money

bought you freedom

from this place?

You're trying to prove

I have no concept

or idea of how

the economy works.

I'm here out of respect

for your grandmother.

You don't want to convince

me of your world view first?

Steve:

Oh, it's obvious that

you are the only person

who can convince Joey Anderson

of anything.

Oh, this guy knows me.

So what's this money thing

we're doing?

I'd like to stage a concert

here on the grounds

in your riding hall.

To benefit

wish for our heroes,

a program we both support.

Uh

in... in the hall?

It's a great space.

Perfect for a show.

We want you

to organize the event,

collect the proceeds,

and determine how best to

present it to the soldiers.

Uh, I've never done

anything like this before.

I wouldn't know where to start.

My advice...

Focus on the people

you're serving...

And take it one step at a time.

I'd like to

check out the venue.

Come on, Joey.

Let's go for a walk.

You want to go look

at it right now?

Got to figure up

power, staging,

how big an audience...

Is there a problem?

No, no, no.

Yeah, let's go. Let's do it.

Let's go.

Wow.

Come on, Joey!

Wow, killer space.

Definitely going to need

more power, though.

I also want to figure out

stage sizing,

which I think should be

right here.

Don't you think?

Yeah.

Come on, Chloe.

Let's help Max count.

He needs help.

Here, get on those feet!

One, two, three, four.

Count loud.

Five, six...

Seven, eight, nine!

Hey, uh, what's this?

Hey, Chloe,

you want me to show you

my favorite secret spot

in the whole house?

Yes.

Um, miss James can come.

Miss James,

you want to come with us?

Here, go grab her hand.

Well, that explains it.

What?

Joey's reluctance.

That's a bullet hole,

and with that hole comes a lot

of dark history and baggage.

Come on under.

Here we go.

Okay, so this is it.

This is my very favorite secret

spot in the whole house.

You see my initials?

Right there?

J.A. What's that mean?

Joey Anderson.

Yeah, that's right.

Joey Anderson.

You want to put your initials

up there, too?

Okay, you can go explore while

I carve your initials in there.

All right, okay.

Joey, what's this?

What's what?

What is that?

I think someone's coming.

Oh, let's get out!

Come on. It's our secret spot!

Quick, quick, quick, Chloe.

Push it in. Push it in.

Hey, chlo.

Whatcha doing?

Come here.

Come here, honey.

Yeah, that's my girl.

Why don't you go see what

Claudia has in the kitchen

for ya, okay? Go ahead.

And not too many cookies, okay?

You saw it, huh?

Joey, I...

- Uh, I'll...

- No, hold on. Stay.

You should hear this, too.

My dad left the bullet hole in

the hall when he offed himself.

Some legacy, huh?

And you guys want me to throw

a feel-good concert there.

Was that the gift of irony?

I know what it's like

to lose someone you love.

Alexia's daughter, Emily, died.

I miss her, every day.

That bullet hole

is part of your history.

You are a composite of

miss Sally and your father

and all the Andersons.

Only you get to decide

what to do with that.

Well, it's late.

I got to get chlo home.

You call me if you need

anything, okay?

Joey, I...

I'm so sorry.

How can I help?

You can't.

What could you do?

What is she doing here?

This is her idea.

Where are we going?

You'll find out.

Hi.

Hey, ange.

Michael, this is Joey.

He is heading up the wish

for our heroes concert.
