-It's been one hell of a ride.
-Those McBee boys, I've always said they're my adopted babies,
my bonus babies.
One's finally getting married. Hallelujah.
-I was married for 28 years. They want your power.
-If there's not a prenup,
you can't have your name on the farm.
-I feel like I'm living a double life.
Are we moving up to the farm full time?
-Sounds like it.
-And one's having a baby.
-It's a girl dad!
-You're not my [bleep]ing boss.
-Cole is the most like his father out of all of the boys.
-Just treat Kacie the way you treat your mom.
-What is it? -I just figured --
-I just think we need a little more time.
-And the other one? Oh, Lord.
-I have no idea what the [bleep] I did wrong.
-You want to make things as bad as possible.
-I am actually going to go to Dallas.
-The other one's stuck in the mud.
-Jesse's wedding, I RSVP'd both of us,
and I haven't made any changes to it.
I just picture you choking me out with a bolo tie.
-And with Jesse and Alli's wedding finally here,
who knows what's going to happen?
-Official invite.
-This means the whole universe to me.
Are you kidding? -2, 1, cut!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-I'm starting to wonder if it's too late
to take back that wedding invite.
-Get the [bleep] out.
-The last few years has been drama beyond belief.
[ Laughing ] I can't even tell you.
-Are you drunk right now?
-This is crazy.
Don't even start me on this FBI investigation.
-Don't even talk about that.
My brothers don't even know about it.
-With this investigation, I'm really scared for Steve.
-If word gets out about the FBI investigating Dad,
we could start losing customers and vendors left and right.
I don't know if my dad's going to be in prison
this time next year. I don't know what's going to happen.
-Stuff could go down and get real bad real fast, real quick.
-What greater thing for two people
than to feel they are joined together?
To strengthen each other in labor...
-Where's Calah?
-I actually don't know.
To rest on each other in sorrow.
-I didn't see her, no.
-Is everything alright? -No.
-To help each other in need
during whatever life has to offer.
-Your family's right here. I can't help you.
-And the rain fell, and the floods came,
and the winds blew and beat on that house,
but it did not fall.
**
[ Vacuum running ]
**
-So, we need an extra centerpiece.
How pretty are the flowers?
Perfect. Love that.
**
-Hello! -Hi.
-Wedding day. -Hi, everyone. Oh.
-Look at the flower colors. That's insane.
-So pretty. -I got these earrings.
-[ Gasps ] Oh, my God.
-Kristi got those.
-It's all coming together.
-I love standing up here
and just, like, looking at everything.
-It's beautiful.
-* Lord, yeah *
-You guys ready? -Yep.
-* Lord, yeah, start the fun *
* Kick them heels up to the sun *
* It's a backwoods barbecue and we're feeling fine, ooh *
* Holler back from a tire swing *
-Aww, there's Jesse.
-Oh, he's here?
-Aww. -Aww.
-* We're feeling fine * -* So fine *
-1:30 p.m.
-Is what time we have to be ready?
-Is when we start getting dressed.
-What time is it now? -12:38.
-So what do we do for the next...?
-Uh, we drink beer.
[ Cork pops, women cheering ]
-Cheers it, boys.
Jesse, congratulations, bud.
It's going to be a good day.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
-Cheers, guys. -Mrs. McBee.
-Whoo!
[ Cans opening ]
-Give me the whole glass.
-I feel like I need a little bit more.
-Alright, I'm gonna start getting ready, too.
-Sectional lineup.
-[ Laughing ] Why you popping another one?
-I'm about to get [bleep]ing married. That's why.
-[ Laughing ]
-You probably need to cry a little bit.
-I was gonna say, he's getting in his feels now.
He needs to be by himself.
-The tension that was built up between my brothers and I
about the prenup question...
I don't think Alli deserves that.
I don't think it'd be very good for our relationship.
But they said that no matter what I did,
no matter what happened, they would be there for me.
So I can just enjoy myself.
-You know for Jesse, this is a big deal.
I went out to the parking lot, and he's just standing there
looking at the sky by his truck. [ Laughs ]
-I need a sign. -He's like, I need a sign.
-You think Jesse's ready to stand in front of 250 people?
-No. This is Jesse's biggest nightmare.
The shyest guy has to stand in front of 250 people.
-The biggest stage.
-He has to dance in front of everyone.
-I can [bleep]ing hear you guys talking.
[ Laughter ]
-Cole, why am I stuck sitting by your dad?
-Keep him from saying stupid stuff.
-* Always had a chip on my shoulder *
* Knew I'd be the man when I was older *
* Working through the summer till the days got colder *
* Now I'm in it till it's over *
-Feeling like these pants are too short,
but they told me this is how they're supposed to be.
-Well, this is my turn to talk,
'cause Jesse and Alli wouldn't let me talk at the wedding.
They told absolutely, Jake and I, we cannot have the mic.
-That's probably a very intelligent move.
-I think I'm speaking for all of us
when we said that we couldn't be happier for you.
-I appreciate that, brother. -Love you, dawg.
-Love you, too. -Love you, bub.
-Thank you guys for being here. -Hey.
-Yes.
-Steven, did you end up finding a wedding date?
-Yeah, Calah's coming. She's coming.
Calah and I have had a really good week,
and honestly, I've missed her.
It is good to see you. -It's good to see you.
-I know that you love getting dressed up.
I don't ever get to dress up.
I have a bolo tie on. -Oh.
-I just picture you choking me out with a bolo tie.
Love will be in the air.
Who knows? Maybe it'll be a last ditch effort
for us to get back together.
We said it was going to be no drama.
Like, she was already planning on coming.
She has a relationship with Kacie and Alli.
-What?! -Why do you all keep going back
in this rabbit hole?
-Kacie, come out and clarify that.
[ Laughter ]
-I don't know. [ Laughter ]
**
-* In the bar like a star you were shining *
* Like a diamond in a neon crown *
-It's wedding day. And there's nerves, for sure.
But Jesse and I are in a really good place,
so we're ready to get this done.
-[ Crying ]
So proud of you.
-It looks great. -Oh, my gosh.
Just gorgeous. You're glowing.
-Thank you.
-I'm not going to do it. -[ Laughs ]
-I think he's gonna cry this time, Al.
-Okay.
-You look...just perfect.
-Okay. I love y'all. See you down there.
-What's going on, man? -What's going on, brother?
-How you doing? -Good to see you, man.
-Good to see you. Yeah. -Congratulations to you.
-Thank you. It's a good day. -Yes, it is.
-Okay, so I'm going to show you a couple photos.
So, we had two people that were on the no-fly list.
-Okay. -One of them's now allowed,
and she's coming today. -Okay.
-Problem is, they're both Russian. They're both blonde.
-Okay. -And they both have blue eyes,
so it's going to be very difficult to tell.
-Okay. -This one's name is Galyna.
She's good. Galyna's good. -Galyna's good.
-Masha is not. -Just gonna ask for the name.
-Gonna be a little difficult 'cause they're both
going to talk with Russian accents.
-Right. -They both would put up a fight.
-I don't respect backstabbers.
-Why you keep coming back and destroying stuff here?
You killed my chickens. You messed up my car.
-Oh, I did not kill your chickens.
-Oh, yes, you did. -Right.
-Do y'all have any tasers on you or anything?
-Oh, wow. [ Laughter ]
-I'm warning you right now.
-We got you. -We got you.
-They're feisty, both of them. -Oh, really? Okay.
Okay. Gotcha. Yes, sir. -Thank you, guys.
-Cole, you look very handsome, bud.
-Well, you look nice. -Oh, thank you. So do you.
-Thank you. -I'm not going to lie.
Being in the same room with Steve does give me some anxiety.
A couple years. Since I filed for divorce.
-Jesse looks great.
-Thank you.
-It's very difficult for me to see Steve again.
I was married to him for almost 30 years.
It doesn't bring back good memories for me.
I don't want to go back to that state of mind.
It was really tough.
**
[ Indistinct conversations ]
-I love the vest. -[ Laughs ]
-And you always look great, so...
-Oh, thank you, little friend.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
-Alright. They're seating people now, Jess.
-Are they?
[ Indistinct conversations ]
**
-Where's security? -Out front.
-They're out front. I showed them photos
of both Masha and Galyna. -They're gonna get them mixed up
and not let Galyna in. -I know. I know.
There is nothing that Galyna wants more
than to be able to come to Jesse's wedding.
-Are you serious? -Yes, absolutely.
Yeah, of course. Well, you know, I talked to Alli and my mom.
They're both, you know -- -This means like
the whole universe to me. Are you kidding me?
-Well, good. I'm glad it means a lot.
-I'm excited for her.
-Where's Calah?
-I actually don't know.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
**
-Hi. You've reached Calah.
-Did you tell her the wrong time?
-No, I told her 4:00.
I tried calling her, and she didn't answer.
-We're going to go ahead and get lined up, guys,
but we are not opening these doors for any reason.
Alli is going to be right here.
Okay? -Okay. Got it.
-Well, long time coming.
-It has been. -Well, you got a good girl.
**
-Ready? -Yep.
-Alright, let's go.
**
[ Laughter ]
**
-Love you, Mom.
-Let's go, bud.
Love you. -Love you.
-Love you, brother. -As a mother, having, you know,
one of my sons officiating my other son's wedding,
you know, seeing my other two sons stand up there next to him,
is definitely a mother's dream.
**
[ Cheers and applause ] -* Come to me *
* I'll be your refuge *
* Hide under my wings *
-Michele.
-* Rest *
-Love you guys. -We love you, too.
-* Your head *
-Ready? -Let's do it.
-You may be seated.
-* And don't you worry *
* Don't you worry, dear *
-Welcome, family and friends, to the celebration of love
between my brother Jesse McBee
and, for essentially the last 10-plus years,
my sister, Alli Ventresca.
What greater thing for two people
than to feel they are joined together,
to strengthen each other in labor,
to rest on each other in sorrow,
to help each other in need
during whatever life has to offer.
And the rain fell, and the floods came,
and the winds blew and beat on that house,
but it did not fall.
-Watching pretty boy get married,
I do kind of get teared up and choked up.
-And I believe everyone here today
can say that without a doubt,
your guys' relationship is built on the rock.
-Because, you know, it's that 'nother chapter in their life,
you know, that other milestone.
He's going to go on and have a family of his own now.
And it's very emotional, you know?
-Jesse and Alli, you are about to make promises to one another.
You will find that as you live by these vows over the years,
the happy times of your life will be twice as joyous
because you'll share these joys in marriage.
-This is the big moment. This is what all the stress,
all the years of fighting and loving, has led up to.
-Jesse, will you take Alli, whose hand you hold,
choosing her alone to be your lawfully wedded wife?
-We've been together for 12 years.
Now we're just kind of showing everybody that we care about
exactly how we've felt the past 12 years.
And it's crazy that we finally got to this point.
-Will you love her and comfort her
through the good times and bad,
in sickness and in health, as long as you shall live?
-I do.
-And, Alli, will you take Jesse,
choosing him alone to be your lawfully wedded husband?
Will you love and comfort him through the good times and bad,
in sickness and in health, as long as you shall live?
-Me and Jesse have made it 12 years this far.
We've gotten to grow together,
and that has been like the anchor to our relationship.
-I probably should have got flowers for you,
but this was made to add flowers.
-I got a nice view of your butt.
-It's a pretty good view, ain't it?
Will you marry me?
-Oh, my God.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. -Still waiting. Yes? Yes?
Okay.
-I'm so proud of you, honey. Thank you.
And now we're getting married,
and we're stronger than we ever have been.
I do.
**
-By the power vested in me,
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
Jesse, you may kiss your bride.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present to you
for the very first time, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse McBee.
-* I know that I've been missing you *
* At least you know that I tried *
-You ready for this? I'm gonna wrap you around me.
Alright, ready?
-* Now I lay in the darkness with the light of the moon *
* And I know *
-Oh, pretty boy.
He wanted to make sure that this was his forever girl.
It took him dang near 12 years to figure that out.
-We're good! [ Cheers and applause ]
-But I'm proud of him.
Alli is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.
I have every confidence in the world
they're going to be married for a good long time.
Forever.
-You good? -Yeah.
-Hearing them announce Mr. and Mrs. Jesse McBee
for the very first time, this is awesome.
Hearing it and knowing that now it's real,
it has a nice ring to it.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
-Where's your keys?
I'll take it upstairs. -Thanks.
-He didn't even carry a diaper bag,
and he's carrying a pink bag for --
What is happening?
-We did it.
Pretty much. -Were you nervous?
-A little bit. -So was I, actually.
You're a husband.
-Officially.
-Hard part's over.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
-I guess they want us to pace ourselves. [ Laughs ]
-I'm an emotional freaking mi[bleep]
-Oh, I couldn't look out at anyone.
Otherwise, I probably would have choked up.
-[ Speaks indistinctly ] -Boys and Kacie and Mom.
-Thank you. Thank you. Aww, thanks, Jimmy.
I know they look good.
-Okay.
[ Phone line ringing ]
-Hi. You've reached Calah. Please leave a message,
and I will give you a call back as soon as I can.
Thank you. Bye.
-Calah was planning on coming to the wedding,
but I must have changed her mind in the last minute.
So it's like, this is it. This is the final straw.
And, uh, I just cannot imagine...
losing my best friend.
-What are you doing? -I was just calling Calah.
-Why didn't she come?
-I don't know.
-Our relationship has been a roller coaster ride,
and I need peace in my life.
I don't want any more drama.
So today was not an easy decision for me.
-I guess all we can do is just keep having a good night.
Yeah. -But it's time to end this
and jump off the crazy train.
-* Hope to carry these thoughts to their final home *
* Under the desert sky *
* Wandering soul *
* It's the end of the line *
**
-Well, I think that solidifies what you should do.
[ Chuckling ] We should party hard tonight.
Mm.
-* Lord, yeah *
[ Indistinct conversations, cheering ]
-[ Speaking indistinctly ]
-Where's my fiancée?
-Mmm. That's good. -Mmm.
[ Indistinct conversations continue ]
-Did you see Galyna? -I was looking in the crowd.
I didn't see her, no.
-Did you see Galyna? -No.
-Me, either. I don't think she came.
-I didn't see Galyna, Calah, or Masha.
[ Phone line ringing ]
-You've reached Galyna's cellphone.
-Oh. -Maybe she didn't.
-Brothers! -I know.
Brothers? Yeah.
-And then Kacie.
-This is not like Galyna at all.
She was so excited on coming to this wedding.
Something's wrong here.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
[ Phone line ringing ]
-Hello? -Hey, Erena.
-[ Crying ] Hey. -Is everything alright?
-* I'm all alone, and I don't know what to do *
* Need someone just to talk to *
-It's a beautiful night for a wedding.
-That's why I like my job. I wait on no man. I just go.
-Well, apparently we have to do walk-ins
with the person we walked down the aisle with.
[ Phone line ringing ]
-Hello? -Hey, Erena.
-[ Crying ] Hey. -Is everything alright?
-Um, no, but, um -- [ Cheering in distance ]
-What's going on? I'm walking away from everyone.
What happened?
-She was in a car accident.
I don't know what happened.
-Have you gotten ahold of her?
-No. -Is she hurt, or is she okay?
-Um, I think she -- I don't know.
I mean, obviously, she's not okay enough
to do what she did, so... -Where is she at?
-Like seven minutes away from the wedding venue.
-Alright. I'll text you in a bit, Erena.
-Okay. Bye. -Bye.
**
[ Siren wailing ]
**
[ Phone line ringing ]
-Did you make it over there?
She alright?
She go in an ambulance, you mean?
Alright. -Alright. Bye.
-[Bleep]
-Are you okay?
What's going on?
A nervous breakdown?
Go ahead and stand up for me. -Okay.
Face me.
So here's the deal. Right now, you're going to be under arrest
for suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
-Sure. Absolutely. -I think there's something
going on other than just,
I'm having a rough day, and there's some anxiety going on.
-To determine the alcohol or drug content of your blood,
I am requesting you submit a chemical test of your blood.
-I-I don't think I'm going to take any tests, but, yeah.
-Okay. That's fine. And that's your right to do so.
Just so you know, we're going to go to the station
and get a warrant for your blood, okay?
-Yeah. -Alright.
[ Siren wails ]
-Alright. 1, 2...
-Should we cheers the belly?
-The low angle.
-Look at him. Look -- [ Laughs ]
-Okay. There's no thorns out here.
-You doing good? -Yeah.
-Why aren't you drinking? -I will. I'll start drinking.
-I feel like I'm the only one getting drunk like always.
-I'll catch up. Don't worry.
-Alli looked happy walking down the aisle.
She was smiling the whole time. Mom was crying.
That was the only time whenever I got emotional.
I'm not [bleep]ing crying.
Don't tell a mother [bleep]er I'm crying.
I'm too [bleep]ing tough to cry! -You're too tough.
Did you actually start getting teary?
-No, I didn't cry. You know, it was just, like,
a little bit like, suck it up, you know?
Like I had to be like, alright.
Long time coming on this one.
-They did good. -They did good.
[ Phone vibrating ] -Hello?
All I can think about is what's going on with Galyna.
Why was there a cold bottle of wine in your trash?
Is that wine? -It's still cold.
-Are you drunk right now?
[ Phone line ringing ]
-Hello? -Hey.
Just so you know -- -Hey.
-Just so you know, she's not injured.
-[ Crying ] I mean, obviously, there's --
Obviously, she's not okay, so...
-No, but just try to stay calm.
-Okay. Yeah, they're taking her to the station, so...
-Yeah. No one even knows, so it's fine.
But I just wanted you to know that she's not injured.
I feel so bad for Erena.
It seems like every time she comes back to Missouri,
she's had to deal with so much drama.
-So you're for sure moving in here?
Feel like that's kind of a big step for Steve.
-Yeah, no, I'm terrified. -Why risk it, then?
I will deal with her. -I can't believe she is [bleep]ing here.
-You are in a professional setting right now.
Go do your job.
-That poor girl has been through it.
[Bleep]
**
[ Indistinct conversations ]
**
-Good. How are you? -Good.
-Hi. Hi, bud. -Hi. How are you doing?
-Gotcha.
-How is everybody feeling this evening?
[ Cheers and applause ]
Ladies and gentlemen, at this time,
the reason we are celebrating this evening,
I need everybody to get up out of their seats...
[ Continues announcing indistinctly ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
For Mr. and Mrs. McBee!
**
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
**
-I gotta get you inside.
-You're totally fine.
**
-You okay? -Oh, absolutely.
-There's no other group that Alli and I would rather
enjoy this night with, so thank y'all so much.
We love you and appreciate you
more than we could ever put into words.
So thank you guys. Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
-* I'm unbreakable *
-I'm just gonna have you sit in here for just a second, okay?
**
-* Shake that thing, make that thing *
* Bend till you think it's gonna break that thing *
* Nobody else does what she does to me *
* When she shakes that thing *
* Alright *
**
-Cole, I met your cousin.
-Oh, what'd she tell you?
-She said when you were younger,
your favorite color was pink.
-Uh-oh.
-Steven thinks we're talking about him.
He's over there all sad 'cause Calah's name card's over there.
I better go back over there and eat my food before they take it.
This day should be about Jesse and Alli.
But of course, there's always something happening
in the McBee family.
There's just so much drama.
It's like your induction into the family, I guess.
-She crashed?
-No way.
No way. -Alli.
[ Phone ringing ]
-Hey. Is she home?
Okay.
Okay, so she hadn't been drinking or anything?
Awesome. Good. I was afraid she --
-She refused a field sobriety test, so...
-Oh, yeah. Good. And it passed everything? Great.
-I mean, she said that she wasn't going to charge her.
-I am not going to pursue the driving while intoxicated.
I think that there's something more going on...
-If I was going to be in a relationship or be married,
I would be you.
-He is my person. [ Laughs ]
It's going to probably hurt me for the rest of my life.
You slept with Steve behind my back while I was living here.
-I mean, do you live in your own world?
-Do you live in your freaking whore world?
-...in her situation that's stressing her out
to the point where -- She's getting to a point
where she's not tolerating the stress well,
if that makes sense.
-So fortunate that she's not injured and everything's okay.
-Just want to make sure she's okay.
-Yeah. -I don't know what she needs.
-Trust me, we're not going to leave her at her time of need.
I mean, she'd be the first one there for any of us.
Have a good night. -Alright. You, too.
**
-Hi, Mommy. -Hello. I am so sorry.
Oh, my God. I don't even know what happened.
I think I just hyped myself up so much.
-You scared the sh[bleep] out of me.
-I know. I know. I know. I know, but --
-This is not okay.
-I know it's not okay, um,
and, um, I-I-I will figure it out.
I don't know if it's, like, my anxieties or like,
So I must have --
I must have pumped myself up so much.
-No, you need help.
-I don't know. I was so looking forward to it.
I'm so disappointed in myself.
I was so excited about going to the wedding.
Being invited to a wedding
is really an ultimate proof that you are a family.
-You understand that you could have died?
-I'm just so disappointed in myself.
-Who cares about you not going to the wedding, Mom?
You literally almost died.
-Driving there, I was so worried about the wedding.
I don't know if Masha going to show up there.
Just overthinking.
The next thing I remember
is seeing the broken window on my car.
-I don't know what I would do without --
I don't know what I would do without you.
They have everyone. I don't have anyone, okay?
-I am so disappointed in myself.
-No one cares that you weren't there.
Who care-- You're not!
-I-I know. I --
-You're not. Your family's right here.
And you're doing everything you can for them
and then trying to kill yourself over it.
[ Crying ] To me, sitting here,
having to leave tomorrow, driving 700 miles, okay,
I can't help you. That's what it seems like.
-I [bleep]ed up.
She's my daughter. I was selfish.
I should have been more aware about my family...
...and how they were reacting to what I was doing.
There is no excuse for a lot of my actions.
I need it for my daughter. I need it for myself.
I need to refocus, and I need to --
I need to just to move on.
-It's not fair.
It's really not fair, okay?
So you need to start being honest with me and yourself.
And you need to change something about your life,
because it's not okay anymore.
**
-I went through so much.
I've supported everybody.
But I don't think people realize
how much bullsh[bleep] I've been through.
-I was just trying to help solve the situation.
-Are you seeing her?
I'm not putting up with it.
-I think she is staying at the lodge.
-You were pretending to be my friend.
And the next thing, you backstab me.
-Do you even want to be here?
Because at this point, I'm starting to question
if us parting ways may be the right decision.
-That was the [bleep]ing punch below the waist.
Am I really in the right place?
Am I really a family? Do I really belong?
I don't know.
It may be time to cut ties and move on from the McBee family.
**
-* All the ladies in the house, put your hands up in the air *
* Let me see you break it down on the floor right now *
* Let's go, catch me on the floor cutting some rug *
* Looking like whoa while I do the jitterbug *
* Ladies get low, let it shake that thing *
* Look at me flow 'cause the music gonna play *
-Where's all my single peoples at out there?
-Steven! Steven!
**
-You ready for this?
**
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
-Whoa!
Calm down!

Yeah!
-In 3, 2, 1.
-Yeah!
Ain't that mean that you're next to get married?
Exactly what I thought. [ Clicks tongue ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
[ Murmuring indistinctly ]
-Aww.
Are you sold? -You're so cute!
Oh, no. Stretching.
-Cole is going to be a good girl dad,
and I don't want him to put any more pressure on himself.
-Do I look natural?
-It's still a work in progress.
But he's come a long way.
And he will be the best dad to Blair that she could ask for.
-I'm scared.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
-We are going to have every single person in here
make their way outside for our sparkler exit.
-Hey!
[ Indistinct announcement ]
-Steve and I, we raised four good sons.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Hopefully we're going to have three more weddings.
No matter all the issues we had,
everything that we've been through,
it's nice to be able to set everything aside.
It's a very special moment.
-Let's go! -[ Whistling ]
-* I reach out *
* To blue skies up above *
* The clouds of dreams are floating *
**
-You know, we don't know what all is gonna happen with Steve.
[ Cheers and applause ]
But there's a lot of love between us all,
and it's such a special night.
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
**
-* Every day *
-Whoo!
-* The sun shines in a new way *
**
-Yeah! [ Laughter ]
**
-* The devil's gonna come when the sun go down *
* The devil's gonna come when the sun go down *

[ Phone line ringing ]
-Hello? -Where are you guys at?
-Oh, we're working here south of town.
-I'd like for you to meet me over on the hay barn on Tuggle.
I've got some news for you.
**
-What's up? -What have y'all been doing?
-Just got the buffalo moved over.
-Did you? -Yeah.
What you up to? -Just got a call.
And, uh, to be honest,
it's something I've been keeping from y'all.

Both Dad and I,
because we didn't know what was going to come of it,
and we didn't want to make a big deal out of it
if it was nothing. But it's not looking like
it's a problem that's just going to go away.
We've been under FBI investigation.
-We've been under FBI investigation
for the crop years 2018, '19, and '20.
They went through all of our records.
We turned over everything that we had.
It's looking like there may be prison time involved.
-A Gallatin, Missouri, farmer, Steve A. McBee, 53,
pleaded guilty to one count of federal crop insurance fraud.
-My dad's facing one count of giving a false statement
on crop insurance, which is a felony,
and the potential of up to 30 years in prison.
-Is it just Dad being looked at? Is it, like --
I mean, all of our names are on the business, so...
-It's just Dad.
-How long have you guys known about this going on?
-It's been going on for the last year.
-Part of me is like scared to death right now.
This is the worst thing I've ever seen in my life.
-We've been going back and forth with the government.
That man is under the most intense pressure
I've ever seen in my life.
-Hearing this for the first time,
it's a lot to take on at once.
Now it all makes sense.
-The facility inspection is not going great.
Like, I swear my full time job is dealing with the government.
-The pressure is relentless right now.
We don't get no love from the community.
I mean, you know how it is. -I know.
-Galyna, she's got to go.
-There's a lot going on behind the scenes that we need her,
a lot of sh[bleep] that you guys don't even know about.
-The truth is going to come out.
The truth will [bleep]ing come out, Steven.
And you're gonna [bleep]ing be buried for this sh[bleep]
-The last couple months, Dad's not been the same.
I can tell this has taken a toll on him.
I don't know what the end result of this thing's going to be.
For every challenge we've faced,
there's always been a way to be able to work harder
or find a new way to make our payments.
With this FBI investigation,
it's completely out of our control, and we have no power.
-It's a weird feeling, 'cause I feel like
anytime we've ever had a problem,
it's always like, well, Dad -- -You go to Dad for the answer.
-He'll figure it out no matter what.
-He ain't figuring this one out.
The last thing we needed right now,
just trying to run a damn farm,
and now we got the government trying to hound us.
This is the biggest hurdle we've ever faced in our lives.
I have no idea what it's going to look like
over the next few months or year,
but we're going to be in the trenches together,
'cause we've got to figure out how to keep this place alive
and keep it running through whatever the hell
the end result of this is going to be.
[ Thunder rumbles ]
-Steven's just having a hard time being positive
about anything right now.
You know, we don't know what all is going to happen with Steve.
So...you know, we don't know what's to come.
**
-No going back now.
-No. We're here.
Last kiss as not-parents.
-* Your hands are cold *
You can do it, babe.
You're doing great.
[ Baby cries ]
-* You were gentle in love *
-Blair is here.
Love you, babe. -Love you.
-You did it.
-* To your will *
* O my heart be still *
-There's a lot of tough problems that we're going through.
But when I hold Blair, it just all goes away.
**
Appreciate it.
**
-* All my love *
-How does it feel holding a baby?
-I feel like I'm more natural than I thought I would be.
It's currently slated for March 13th,
but they're going to push it back to May.
Downtown Kansas City, at the federal courthouse.
-It's upsetting to watch
someone work your whole life every single day
and then have one mistake change everything.
I'm obviously afraid.
We got a babysitter over here, don't we?
-Yeah. -I don't know if I'd call myself that.
My dad, he's 51 years old. He's getting up there in age.
I'm definitely a little scared at the thought
of my dad going to jail.
-I have no idea what the future holds with my dad's situation.
There's a lot of tough times ahead.
My end goal is to make sure that this farm is here
not only for our kids, but our kids' kids.
-You're so precious.
We're heading home, Blair.
-To carry this into the next generation
and to truly create a legacy,
that puts one hell of a burden on my shoulders
to keep this family farm alive.
-You can try your best to tear this family apart,
but you will fail.
We're here together till the end.
