The Search

1 No matter what you're doing No matter what you're playing It's no matter what you're saying 'Cause we're doing it all the same No matter where you are Or where you're coming from Put your hand on your heart Don't wait Yeah, you know that I, we, me, us We're doing it all the same No matter where you are Or where you're coming from Put your hand on your heart Don't wait Yeah, you know that I, we, me, us We're doing it all the same Yeah [Zoe.]
A wise person once said, "It's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all.
" But that person was wrong 'cause this feeling is the worst in the world.
We're going to find him, Zoe.
There's no way Raven would let himself get stolen for long.
Yeah, he's probably overcoming the thieves right now.
He's probably driving their van back as we speak.
[chuckles.]
That would be so Raven, wouldn't it? [sniffles.]
Old Raven would've fought back.
- Now I'm not so sure.
- [Sam.]
Team meeting.
- Officer.
- It's Derek.
- [Sam.]
Do something for me? - [Derek.]
Anything.
Try not to get their hopes up too much.
I can't bear it.
You all right? No.
No, I'm not all right.
I've had two horses stolen.
We're all upset.
It's awful.
Daddy's absolutely livid.
He has a good mind to sue the stables.
That's not gonna help bring Raven home.
What's this to you? He's my horse.
Look, there were three guys at the stables the first time they tried to take him.
The photographer guy must have been working with them.
You should be questioning him.
I'm sorry, Zoe.
We didn't have enough evidence to charge him.
- He was released this morning.
- What? Just let us deal with the investigation.
Yeah, the people who let the main suspect go.
- Go ahead, do your job.
- Zoe.
Look, the best thing we can do right now is carry on.
We've got the county show tomorrow.
How can you think about that with Raven missing? Life must go on.
Okay, I want you all in the tack room in an hour.
We're gonna go over the show courses together and work out how we can win this thing.
Zoe.
Anyone would think Raven was Zoe's horse.
I'm the one who's hurting.
There.
See it? It's a chicken on roller skates.
- This game is so stupid.
- Have you got a better one? [Rosie sighs.]
- Two peach teas.
- Thanks.
Funny.
Now I see something.
[gasps.]
It looks like my dad.
- The cloud looks like your dad? - Yep.
Exactly like him.
What a coincidence.
Now there's a telephone.
That's enough, Rosie.
- Are you okay? - [Rosie.]
I'm not okay.
I bought her gifts, read her secret diary, sabotaged her friendship with Tedward, made her say bye to her dead horse So sensitive.
All I want her to do is call him.
Maybe he needs to call her.
Tell me more.
Zoe.
- Hi.
- Hi.
[chuckles softly.]
He's not doing so well.
He should be on his feet by now.
It's no good for him, being stuck in this crate.
Uh Last night was pretty crazy, huh? I guess we weren't ourselves.
Right.
- Yeah, not at all.
- And then [sighs.]
And then Raven got taken.
[sighs.]
Derek says he'd be long gone.
And I - I guess I just have to accept that.
- But that's not who you are.
You don't give up.
That's what I love about you.
I mean [stammers.]
- Whoa! [chuckles.]
- Someone's feeling better.
[both laugh.]
See? You're a fighter.
Just like him.
You know what? You're right.
You're totally right.
We've got to try.
But where would they take him? How about nowhere? Huh? The ferries didn't run last night.
I doubt any boat could've got through that storm.
Which means Guys, guys! We think Raven is still on the island.
Well, come on, let's go! - Derek said - Who cares what Derek says? He could still be here.
We have to go look for him.
- Come on, let's go, people.
- But we can't leave now.
- We promised Sam we'd meet her here.
- [scoffs.]
I can't believe you guys are all just sitting here.
Fine.
If you guys aren't gonna help me, - I'll go by myself.
- This isn't about you, Zoe.
For once in your life, this is not about you.
Guys, listen.
The ferries weren't running last night.
Really? That means that Raven could still be on the island.
Yes, exactly.
Somewhere out there, there's a horse that's been through unimaginable things, and it's happening to him all over again.
Sure, we've only got a tiny chance of finding him, but wouldn't you rather know that you tried? [Zoe.]
Listen up.
We are going to search every inch of this island and leave no stone unturned.
If there's any chance he's here, we will find him.
She means she'll find him and get all the glory.
Not this time.
If the storm comes in again, turn around and head back.
It's too dangerous.
Jade, I want you to check the cliffs and, Becky, the hills.
But that's where Ghost Pony lives.
[laughing.]
Oh, get a grip, Becky.
The Ghost Pony's a fairy tale.
It's like being scared of the tooth fairy.
[laughs.]
I am scared of the tooth fairy.
What does she need teeth for? What's her plan? Pin? Can you go with Jade? And Marcus with Becky.
- Will I have to speak to him? - It's a distinct possibility.
[softly.]
Okay.
What's it they always say? Just be yourself.
[chuckles.]
Susie and Mia, can you guys go to the south of the island? - And I'll take the north toward the caves.
- She so wants to find Raven herself.
Zoe, I was thinking that I'd check the caves first.
Fine.
I'll take south.
What, and let you find Raven and be the hero once again? - I don't think so.
- Ugh.
- Go wherever you want, Mia.
- I will.
Come on, boy.
Let's go find Raven.
My dad needs to hurry up before somebody else asks my mom out.
What do you mean? Ted told me last night that the whole county used to have a crush on Mom.
I can handle Elliot, but the entire island? Okay, here's your moment.
Good luck, soldier.
Mom? You know how you're always telling us to find hobbies, things we really, really love? Right.
Only boring people get bored.
Anyways, I decided I want to be an actress.
- Really? - Everyone always says I'm a drama queen, so why not put it to good use? Me and Ben found a script online and I was hoping you'd help us read through it.
Sure, sounds like fun.
[Marcus.]
Hoof prints.
Somebody's ridden through here.
Ghost Pony.
[Pin.]
It's no good.
Raven's not here.
We should try the caves, too.
See if Zoe needs help.
[Jade.]
Yeah.
Pin, why did you go to prom with Mia? [Pin.]
Felt like it.
All right, I got caught up in her games.
I'm stupid, I know.
- You should tell Zoe that.
- We're just friends.
She made that perfectly clear.
And that's cool.
Friends.
You sure about that? [Zoe.]
Raven.
- Where are you going? The cave's this way.
- [Mia.]
It's a shortcut.
I don't think that's a good idea.
It's really slippery.
- Zoe's right.
- Ugh.
Whatever.
- [scoffs.]
- [Zoe clicks tongue.]
- [Major snorts.]
- Major, can you stop messing around? Shorten your reins a bit.
Oh! It worked.
- Major likes to be told what to do.
- Ugh.
Yeah.
Unlike Raven.
[softly.]
Marcus.
Uh Marcus.
Marcus.
Marcus [loudly.]
Marcus! Did you say something? So, Becks, I was, uh, wondering what the deal was with Zoe and Pin.
I was thinking you'd know, seeing as you're friends with her and all that.
I think you should talk to Zoe about that.
[gasps.]
OM-gosh.
I just said an actual sentence to you, like a full sentence.
- This is a breakthrough.
- Pardon? [scoffs.]
Darn it! Susie, check the way to the caves, will you? I don't wanna get my phone out.
Don't look at me like that.
Mia's my best friend, Zoe.
You do things for your friends, even if you don't always agree.
You could stand up to her.
You know that, right? Why would I do that? She needs me.
Everyone thinks she's got this perfect life, but I mean, her dad's this great guy He seems okay.
He's always buying her stuff - and throwing his weight around the yard.
- Yeah, but he never spends time with her.
- She feels ignored.
- I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
Don't judge a book by its cover, Zoe, even if it is an exceptionally beautiful one.
[thunder rumbles.]
[Becky.]
Bob's getting twitchy.
The storm's coming in again.
Perfect conditions for Ghost Pony.
Come on, let's turn around.
I reckon we should go.
- We should head back.
- I'm way ahead of you.
The way the storm's coming in, I got a bad feeling about this.
Okay.
There's been a nuclear apocalypse, an asteroid strike, and now there's this monster prowling the Earth.
- Wow, sounds epic.
- [Rosie.]
Right.
You found a working cell, it's barely charged, but you can make one phone call.
So, you call me, your chief in command at the Army.
You pick up the phone and you say - "Hey.
It's me.
I'm sorry I didn't " - Let me stop you right there.
Okay, let's try it again, this time with a little more feeling.
Like this? - Hey, it's me! - No, no, no.
No, I want urgency.
I want passion.
I want desperation.
I want you to make me fall in love with your character.
"I'm so sorry I didn't call before! There's been a lot going on!" Perfect.
I mean "Thank goodness you called me, soldier.
Now, here's what I need you to do.
" [Susie.]
Guys, we really need to be getting back now.
- Susie's right.
The storm's getting close.
- Sure.
You guys go back.
I'll meet you there.
You mean, you're gonna keep looking? Guys, please.
The storms pick up quick on this island.
How would you know? You've been here for five minutes.
- My mom told me.
It's not safe.
- You don't want me to find Raven first.
This is all part of your big plan to prove you're the hero.
Well, guess what.
Today is not your day.
What are you talking about, Mia? Are you that threatened by me? How many horses do you own, Zoe? How many competitions have you won? Oh, and while we're on it, where's your dad? Oh, that's right, I forgot.
He doesn't want to spend any time with you or your family.
Oh, yeah? Well, where's your dad? Oh, that's right.
I forgot.
He's over there waving a credit card and completely ignoring you.
- What'd you tell her? - Nothing.
She was asking me all these questions.
She tricked me.
[Mia.]
Oh, yeah, right.
[Susie.]
Mia, don't be stupid.
There's a storm coming.
- Mia! - [Mia.]
Get lost, Susie.
[Zoe.]
This is my fault.
I'll deal with Mia.
You go find the others.
[Maggie over phone.]
So sorry I didn't call before [recording rewinding.]
So sorry I didn't call So [phone clicks.]
Guess we've got a lot to talk about.
Call me back.
Perfect.
You done? [sighing.]
Yeah.
- [keypad beeping.]
- Ready? [beeps, dials.]
[Huck on recording.]
Hey, this is Huck.
I can't get to the phone right now.
- Leave a message.
- [beeps.]
[Maggie on recording.]
I'm so sorry I didn't call before! There's been a lot going on! Guess we've got a lot to talk about.
Call me back.
- The main reactor's on fire - Ah! [both laugh.]
Well, that was great.
Apart from the last bit.
[laughing.]
Yeah.
I think it will work.
[thunder rumbles.]
Mia? Mia.
Come on, this is stupid.
Where are you? Look, I'm sorry for what I said about your dad.
Leave me alone! [branches rustling.]
Is someone there? [Zoe.]
Mia! [horse galloping.]
- [Mia gasps.]
- [whinnies.]
Easy, boy.
You are a heroic ex-police horse.
You don't get scared.
[panting.]
Unless there's something to be scared of, which there isn't.
[Mia.]
Zoe! [horse whinnying.]
We'll be fine as soon as I figure out where we are.
- Mia.
- Zoe, something's out there.
I saw something and I think I heard a horse.
Yeah, me, too.
- Maybe Susie followed us in.
- Oh, as if.
She's waiting out there for me to tell her what to do.
- A nice way to talk about your friend.
- Don't tell me how to be a friend.
Okay? Don't tell me anything.
Everything was fine before you came along.
What are you talking about? What have I ever done to you? Oh, as if you don't know.
You're jealous of me, Zoe.
Of Marcus, of the stables, of my horses, of my friends.
You're trying to take it all away from me.
I am not your problem, Mia.
[horse neighs.]
[horse neighing.]
It can't be.
Ghost Pony? [screams.]
[whinnies.]
[Mia screams.]
Firefly? Mia, it's okay.
It's just Firefly.
Mia! Mia! Mia! Are you okay? Is that Firefly? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Firefly.
Hey, boy.
I've missed you so much.
[Mia yells.]
Come on, come on.
Okay, okay.
[groans.]
There There is no signal.
Mia, we're going to have to wait out the storm.
I knew I'd see him again.
I just knew it.
Is this how you feel about Raven? You know, I I always thought horses were for other people until I met Raven.
And it's like he understands me, you know? Trust me.
I know.
- Mia, this is all my fault.
- This is all my fault.
I shouldn't have said those things about your dad.
No, I'm sorry.
My mouth can get a bit carried away sometimes.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've noticed.
Whatever's going on with your dad, it's not my business.
It's not.
Well, that's the problem.
Nothing's going on with him.
- It's like I don't exist.
- Well, maybe you should talk to him.
You should tell him your feelings.
Okay.
You know what? - What are you doing? - Getting out of here.
And you're coming with me.
Okay, come on.
[Mia groans.]
[sighs.]
Come on, phone.
Come on.
[ringing.]
Mom! Mom, the phone's ringing.
[ringing continues.]
It's not gonna ring all day.
Hurry.
Hello? Hi.
[knocking.]
[stammers.]
Is she on her own? Yeah, we'll be right there, thanks.
- Huck? - Dad's here.
Okay.
This worked way quicker than I expected.
[stammers.]
What are you doing here? I'm sorry, Maggie, I just had to see you and the kids.
- Zoe's out on the hills in the storm.
- Is she hiking? - No, she's riding.
- [Huck.]
What? - We have to find her.
- [Huck.]
Okay, let's go.
[Elliot.]
Sam called me.
Been so worried.
Well, where's Mia? - I'm sorry, sir, she's still out there.
- She was upset.
She rode out into the woods.
Zoe followed.
Something must have happened.
Isn't that Mia's horse? Sparkles.
Well, where is she? Susie said they were out in the woods.
I'll ride out first.
Okay.
I'll take the roads.
Gotcha.
- It's like a film.
- Well, let's hope the film - isn't Revenge of the Ghost Pony.
- Jade, you don't even believe in G.
P.
Do you know what? After today, I'll believe in anything.
Come on, we need to go and tell Sam what's going on.
[horse neighs.]
There they are! [Becky.]
Is that Firefly? Oh, thank God.
She's hurt! Here we go, sweetie.
I can't believe you went out in that weather.
I know, I'm sorry.
Her ankle, I think it might be broken.
I'll make sure I get you the best doctor.
And I'll get someone to bring you some soup, okay? - Daddy - I'll call the ambulance so they can get you to the hospital.
Goodness knows when the ferries will start running.
Dad Can you just stay here just for a moment? Sure.
Of course I can.
Hey.
Are you okay? I'm glad you're safe.
- Yeah.
- Is Mia okay? I think she will be.
It's a bad sprain.
I doubt she'll be able to ride tomorrow.
I'm so mad at you right now.
- I'm so sorry, Sam, but we had to - Try.
- Mm-hmm.
- Of course you did.
Hold on, if Mia can't ride, then we need someone else for the show tomorrow.
Then that means Zoe's on the team.
Oh No.
No, I I can't.
Zoe.
Dad! Look at you.
Oh, it's so good to see you.
So, I get here, only to find that you're off riding into storms and being a big hero.
- What's that about, Zoe? - I'm sorry, Dad.
[chuckles.]
You did good, kiddo.
You brought the girl home safe.
But [sighs.]
I couldn't save Raven.
I always knew I'd leave Raven at the end of the summer.
But I never thought it would be like this.
Raven taught me to listen.
Now I can't hear him.
We didn't get our goodbye.
I'm on my way.
Don't worry, I'll have him soon.
