Sins of the Father

Previously on "Heartland"
LISA: We just heard on the radio
that there's been another break-in.
How many's that been?
The source of the
break-ins is pretty obvious.
It's that horse therapy centre
and those juvenile
delinquents it's bringing in.
So, that's what it's about, hey?
Your soft spot for locked-up animals?
- Just like your dad.
- (THUDDING BLOW)
(CRASHES TO TABLE)
What's this? I haven't seen that before.
It's just a piece of metal.
Okay, and you'll set the alarm?
Yes, I'll set the alarm.
- LISA: Jack, stop! Stop! Stop!
- JACK: Stay here. Stay here!
What if they're still in there.
- That's what I'm hopin'.
- (REMI WHIMPERS)
Anybody in here?

(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)
LISA: Honestly, it's, it's hard
to say what all was stolen.
Um, or if it was just thrown
around, but definitely,
the big-ticket items: the stereo,
and the television. Um
Lisa, was your laptop out on the table?
- Yes, I think it was.
- It's gone, too.
So, my computer.
I notice you also have a pretty
high-tech security system installed.
JACK: (SIGHS)
We do. Uh, it wasn't
working very well tonight,
so we turned it off. Unfortunately.
I see.
Uh, Dad's All-Around
Cowboy trophy is missing.
(SIGHS)
Oh, and the box with your watch in it.
It doesn't matter.
- It had all your cufflinks, honey.
- Lise, really,
it's not worth reporting.
We'll let you know if anything turns up.
It's a shame about that security system.
Would've been nice to
catch these guys on camera.
- Sorry about this, folks.
- Thanks.
- Take care.
- Thank you, we appreciate it.
(FOOTSTEPS RECEDE,
DOOR OPENS THEN SHUTS)
(LIGHT FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
Amy, no, no, the kids.
They can't wait in the
truck all night, Grandpa.
It's past their bedtime.
And besides, everything's okay, right?
We're all fine.
Let's go get ready for bed.
I don't wanna be alone.
No way we're sleeping
in our rooms tonight.
(SIGHS)
Okay, I have an idea.
(DRILL WHIRS)
(SIGHS)
(FOOTSTEPS THUD)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH, DOOR CREAKS OPEN)
How are you doing?
I'm fine.
Except for Tim's stupid trophy.
I'll never hear the end of that now.
Nope, probably not.
How ya doin'?
(SIGHS) Well, if I hadn't
turned off that damn alarm,
- this never would've happened.
- Jack,
- don't blame yourself.
- Who else is there to blame, Lise?
It what're you
doing? Oh, honey, come
I'm done with these.
I'm going back to
protecting this ranch my way.
Whose watch was that? Why
didn't you wanna report it?
It was my father's.
(FOOTSTEPS THUD)
(DRILL CLATTERS ON TABLE)

LISA: Ooh, what's happening here?
- We're having a sleepover!
- Oh!
Well, let me help out, then.
Hey, you girls, why don't
I build us all a fire?
- Can we roast marshmallows?
- Oh, I will go get them.
- Thank you!
- LYNDY: Yes! Yes!
(FOOTSTEPS THUD)
(WOOD CLATTERS, FIRE CRACKLES)

(FIRE CRACKLES)
JEFFERSON: You wanna try
it on, don't you?
- Yep. Mm-hmm.
- (CHUCKLES)
(WATCH JINGLES)

You'll grow into it one day, Jack.
You know, that watch will
be yours some day, you know.
Just like this whole ranch.

(CRICKETS CHIRP)
(RIFLE CLATTERS LIGHTLY)



And at the break of day ♪
You sank into your dream ♪
You dreamer ♪
Oh oh oh oh ♪
You dreamer ♪
You dreamer ♪
(BIRDS CHIRP)
LOU: I just still
can't believe all this.
- I know.
- (SIGHS)
They were in our home.
I mean, it's just stuff,
but you feel so violated.
Yeah, well
more than that, I'm
worried about Grandpa.
Nobody's saying it, but
- he must be feeling pretty bad about all this.
- Oh, yeah.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
- Morning.
- You couldn't sleep either?
Ugh, too wound up.
Jack didn't even come to bed last night.
- (FLOORBOARDS CREAK, DOOR SHUTS)
- He was out pacing on the porch.
I just wanted some air, is all.
And you needed your
rifle for that, did ya?
- (FOOTSTEPS THUD)
- Yes, I did.
(FOOTSTEPS RECEDE)
Whew, well I gotta get to work.
Yeah, um I should
probably head out now, too.
I'm gonna go over to Cooper's
and see how they're
doing after last night.
Thank you so much for taking
the girls to the fair in town.
I know that's really gonna help
- keep their mind off things.
- Of course.
It's the last day, and
they've been dying to go, so.
- LOU: Have fun, girls!
- (WHISPERS) Thank you.
Have fun! Oh, hey Parker!
- Hey.
- Hi, Parker.
- (FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
- I heard about the robbery.
Everyone in town is talking about it.
Are they? Fantastic!
Aren't you guys completely freaked out?
I mean, what did they take?
My sanity, for a start.
Mostly just made a mess.
And the TV's gone, and there's some
- heirlooms, but
- Like what?
Well, they took Tim's rodeo trophy,
and um, Jack's father's watch.
The watch doesn't matter, Lise.
Oh okay. Okay.
Girls! Parker's here! Let' go!

(HOOVES THUD)
COOPER: Hey! How's it goin'?
I was about to ask you the same thing.
How ya doin' after last night?
It'll be fine. I put some
calls out to a few people,
and I'm a firm believer that things
always have a way of working out.
- It has to.
- Okay. But
Heartland was broken into last
night when we were at the gala.
Does that mean you're
here to search my bunk?
No.
Logan, I-I'm here because I'm gonna
work with that wild horse today,
and I thought maybe you'd wanna
join, if it's okay with Cooper?
That sounds like fun.
- Yeah, I'll go get my stuff.
- Okay.

- (BENCH CLATTERS)
- RICK: What are you doing?
Thought I had left my work laptop
here at the office last night,
but I can't seem to find it.
But I'm sure it's here, somewhere.
And if you can't?
Then it's at home.
But your home was robbed.
I know. I don't wanna go there, okay?
Uh, well let's hope we don't have to.
There's a zillion
confidential documents,
and emails on there, and the
Lou, the budget cuts, they,
they haven't been made public yet.
- This is bad!
- No, Rick,
we will find it. It'll be fine.
It better be because that
laptop, in the wrong hands,
goodbye approval rating,
and hello scandal.
(STRESSED EXHALE)
Just help me. Okay?
(THE PAINT NICKERS)
Hey, come on. Come on.
- (HOOVES THUD)
- Whoa.
(AMY CLICKS HER TONGUE AND HISSES)
Sh-sh-sh-sh.
(GATE RATTLES)
Okay, so now what?
Well, the first thing we need to do
is to get him to trust us.
I'm hoping that this
colt will remember Shadow,
and realize we don't wanna hurt him.
Why do you think he'll
trust Shadow so much?
Horses understand other horses.
And Shadow came from the same herd.
So did Challenge, actually.
Maybe he should've stayed there.
Why? Challenge loves the centre.
I know. I just hate Mac for what he did.
Yeah, but thanks to you, he's
not gonna do it again, right?
(SIGHS) People like Mac,
I mean, they look at
my dad and they just
they just see a loser who's
been in jail for five years.
You know, but I still see my dad.
He's my best friend.
(SNIFFLES)
And he's gonna be out soon, right?
Yeah, and we're gonna move away.
You know, start fresh. My
dad, he needs a clean slate.
(SCOFFS)
Guess I do, too.

No, I just, just got to the ranch.
Yeah, so hurry up and get
back from New York, huh?
Okay, I love you. Yep. Bye.
(GRAVEL CRUNCHES UNDER
FOOT, BEEPS CALL OFF)
(FOOTSTEPS THUD ON PORCH)
(LATCH CLANGS)

- (DOOR CLUNKS)
- Jack?
(FOOTSTEPS THUD)
Jack?


(DOOR CREAKS OPEN)
Hey, what happened?
We got robbed.
Is everybody all right?
Yes, Tim, we're all fine.
Your trophy's gone.
Wh uh gone?
I go to one rodeo and
all hell breaks loose?
- How did this happen?
- How do you think?
We were out, thieves took
advantage of an empty house.
Well, Lou said you had
a fancy new alarm system.
I turned it off.
(SCOFFS)
You realize how important
that trophy was to me, right?
It's irreplaceable.
Yeah, well, if you loved it so much,
why'd you leave it
lying around my house?
I didn't leave it lying around,
I left it on display.
For others to appreciate
while I was travelling with Jessica.
Where ya going?
To town, to get new locks.
What do you need the locks for?
Glass is broken.
You need glass!
AMY: Hey, Parker! Come meet Logan!
Looks like you had fun at the fair, huh?
That's a nice uh tiger face.
Oh, um, well yes.
Uh, anything to please the kids, right?
Amy, I rode over to ask you something.
Yeah, what is it?
Jack's watch, he's upset about it.
I wanna find it for him.
Do you know what it looked like?
Until it was stolen, I didn't
even know it existed. Sorry.
Okay, then. Worth a shot.
Still, I'm here now,
I might as well stay.
To watch you work with this horse.
Right. The horse.

LISA: Oh, there you are!
You weren't here when we
got home from the fair.
No, I was in town. I
was getting new locks.
- Oh!
- GG, I brought you this!
You did! Well, thank you!
And what did you win, a bear, too?
In the fishing game.
I wanna fish for real.
Can you please teach me?
Yes, I would love to teach you to fish!
I just have to finish a couple
things up here first but,
you bet.
- Okay.
- Okay. (CHUCKLES)
(FOOTSTEPS TAP AWAY)
So, all new locks.
Is that maybe a bit much, honey?
(PLASTIC CRINKLES)
Okay.

It was a nice ceremony, Dad.
I think June would've liked it.
JEFFERSON: June should be here, Jack!
Not in that damn box.
(SOBS)
It's not my fault, Dad!
(SOBBING)
I wasn't even here.
(SOBBING)

(CLUNKS OPEN)
(DOOR CLUNKS SHUT)
(ITEMS CLATTER)

I know it's here.

(SIGHS)
(CAR DOOR CLUNKS SHUT)
TIM: Everybody's talking
about the robbery at Maggie's
and most people suspect those
kids from Cooper's centre.
Yeah, well, you can thank
Paula Westfield for that.
She made a big scene there last night.
Well, I heard she's not the only one.
Two of those kids get in a fight,
- in front of everybody?
- Yeah, this
this boy, Logan, got
into it with another kid.
- They got kicked out.
- Kicked out.
And then we got robbed.
- Where'd they go? What's their alibi?
- Ah, Tim, don't start.
What, I want my trophy back, Jack!
Look it, if that Logan kid
had something to do with it,
- or any of his buddies
- Dad
Hi.
Logan and I are staying for dinner!
(FOOTSTEPS THUD)
Logan?
- (SCREEN DOOR SHUTS)
- Huh.
I'm gonna change all the locks,
first thing in the morning,
including the one in your room,
the one that goes outside.
Someone can come through my door?
No, honey, see that's the point.
Now they won't be able to.
But you're saying they could have?
Listen, there's nothing
to worry about here.
More garlic bread, Logan?
Sure. Thanks.
(UTENSILS CLANG GENTLY)
- AMY: Hey.
- Hmm?
You've been pretty quiet.
Um sorry, I'm just dealing
with a bit of a crisis.
I misplaced my laptop,
and if it was stolen,
I'm kind of ruined.
I hear ya, honey.
A loss like that can ruin ya.
Take my trophy,
which meant the world to me.
And pretty much represented
my entire life's work. Heh.
Of course, if uh
it were to mysteriously
reappear on my doorstep,
would I say anything to anyone?
- Nope!
- Dad.
What?
Well, I'm just saying,
I'm the type of person that
likes to forgive and forget.
I'm very forgiving.
(SIGHS) You know, Dad,
Logan has been a huge
help with that wildie.
He's helping me gentle
it for uh Jessica.
It's gonna be a shame to see him go.
Where're you goin'?
Uh, my dad's comin' to
pick me up in a couple days.
Oh yeah? From where?
He's he's been in jail, actually.
(SCOFFS)
Probably innocent though, right?
Well
he made his mistakes,
but he served his time,
and he's still my dad, right?
JACK: He is at that.
And I hope your reunion is
is a happy one.
(UTENSILS CLANG GENTLY)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
All right, I'm gonna head out
and take Logan back to the centre.
Thanks so much for dinner.
It was our pleasure.
- Bye.
- See you guys.
(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)
So, Jack, that watch of yours?
I just can't stop thinking about it.
- Well, you should.
- Come on, what'd it look like?
- What made it so special?
- Parker, that watch wasn't special, all right.
(SPONGE SPLASHES IN WATER)
It was a piece of junk.
(FOOTSTEPS RECEDE, DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS)
It was gold and it was engraved.
- Engraved with what?
- J.E.B.

Dad? You all right?
- Yeah, I'm all right.
What's it to you?
Think you should just head inside.
Don't tell me what to do, boy!
Well, so, you're the boss now, huh?
Huh? Is that what you're
saying? Hmm? Is it?
(HAND SLAP) Mind your own business.
(FOOTSTEPS RECEDE, DOOR SHUTS)

(EMOTIONAL EXHALE)

(BIRDS CHIRP)
(DOORS CREAK SHUT)
- (FOOTSTEPS THUD)
- Oh, it's only you.
Thanks for that.
What're you doing?
Searching local classified
listings for Jack's watch.
If someone has it,
they'll wanna sell it.
- Fast.
- (KEYS CLACK)
You know, my trophy was stolen.
Yes, I think everyone's aware.
Well, maybe you can search
for it on there, too.
Since it was a piece of rodeo history.
How 'bout this?
You search for my trophy, on that,
and I'll be your boots
on the ground out there.
You can't go answering all those
listings on your own, right?
Okay, then. It's a deal.
Excellent. Do your thing.
My advice is, I would start with Logan
- and his derelict friends.
- There's no way they did this.
Prove it.
RICK: I think we need to face facts.
(SIGHS) It's gone.
What are we gonna do?
Crisis management.
Luckily, it's my specialty.
So, your laptop,
security level was
at its highest, right?
And fingerprint protected?
Okay, okay, but you did have
a password on it, correct?
- Yes, yes. Absolutely, I did.
- Fantastic.
And as long as it
wasn't something idiotic,
like 1234, we're we're fine.
And if it was
something kinda like that?
Lou, do you not get how
many ultra-confidential
documents were on that thing?
Okay, now is probably
a good time to mention
that there was something else
on there, too something, ahem,
a little bit more personal.
It also had some photos
on there that were
sort of inappropriate
for my children to see.
(STRESSED EXHALE) Whew, and uh
there they are.
The uh whew
chest pains. (EXHALES)
AMY: So, any new developments
on the funding front?
I've got a few more roads to go down.
I'm not giving up hope just yet.
Good. That's good. Hey,
you ready for our last day?
Absolutely, let's do it!
(CHUCKLES) Hey, Clint!
- Good to see you.
- Morning.
(DOOR SLAMS)
Glad I caught up with you guys.
Logan, I just got off the
phone with your case worker.
Your father didn't make parole.
He was denied. I'm sorry.

AMY: Logan, wait!
Cooper, I'm not here to
criticize, I'm here to help.
I put my name on the line
for the centre, too, you know.
Yeah, Clint, I know, all right.
I know, I'm trying my best,
I just don't think I could
- Hey.
- Hey.
Any luck? We've searched all
the buildings, still no Logan.
Yeah, no, I searched the grounds, too.
You know what? I'm gonna
head over to the group home.
Maybe he'll show up there.
(LATCH RATTLES, GATE CREAKS)
(SIGHS)
(LOCK CREAKS)
So, what's going on with you
with you two? Is it all right?
Yeah, it's fine.
And uh if Logan turns
up, I'll give you a call.
(TIRES CRUNCH IN THE GRAVEL)

(KEYS CLACK)
(STRESSED SIGH)
How's it going over there?
Good, yeah. Not at all frustrating.
Searching online classifieds
is all about using keywords.
I've tried things like
"antique" "engraved".
Well, how 'bout
"trophy, iconic, legend"?
"Missing, get back."
Also, "Collector's item."
You know there isn't much resale
value on stolen trophies, right?
It's like stolen art, too high profile.
But a random old watch?
That's sellable.
Well, aren't you a little ray of hope.
(SIGHS)
I've got nothing. Zero listings.
Well, I keep tellin' ya, this
isn't just about Jack's watch.
You're right!
I need to examine all the robberies.
- I need to go bigger!
- Yes! Go big or go home.
You still have a home, right?
(HOOVES THUD)
- Hey.
- (SHADOW NICKERS)
Looks like it's just
you and me today, okay?
I know.
(DIRT CRUNCHES UNDER TIRES)
Hey, you're here!
Yeah.
But uh
I came to say goodbye.
Where are you going?
I don't know yet, but I'm going.
You know, I need that blank state start.
I'm not gonna let my dad and his
dumb mistakes hold me back anymore.
I'm better off on my own.
Logan, I know things seem bad right now,
but
running away isn't gonna fix anything.
- (SHADOW NICKERS)
- Right, Shadow?
- (HOOVES THUD, SHADOW NICKERS)
- Hey, boy.
- (NICKERS)
- (SMALL LAUGH)

I uh, I gotta go.
- (CLIP SNAPS)
- I'm sorry.

(FIRE CRACKLES, POKER CLANGS)

(JACK SIGHS)
- Lyndy get to bed all right?
- Yeah.
Yeah, once I told her that her GG
put extra strong locks on all the doors.
(CHUCKLES)
(SIGHS)
So, Logan's dad didn't make parole.
I'm sorry to hear that.
But Logan is
still leaving.
I don't know where he's going
or what will happen to him.
He's just a kid, you know.
He has such great instincts with horses.
I feel like,
I feel like I failed him.
I was hoping that
I could help him with
that, you know, that
that he'd want to.
Oh, he probably did.
No doubt he's upset.
Yeah, he's angry.
He's furious at his dad.
Yeah.
Father and son relationships, they
they can be tough.
And fragile.
As a kid, you, you look up to your dad,
and you do your very
best to be just like him.
And then, when they trip up,
well, that's when you realize your dad
isn't the hero you thought he was.
He's just a
a person.
It's not on you to fix what's
broken between Logan and his dad.
All you can do is be here, and you are.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I'm gonna head to bed.

We gotta move that herd tomorrow, Dad.
I can't miss another rodeo.
JEFFERSON: (CHUCKLES) Rodeos.
This ranch is more important
than any damn rodeo.
I know, so help me get it done.
You think you know what's
best for this place?
Prove it!

- Happy birthday.
- (WATCH JINGLES)
- (DOOR CLOSES)
- I don't want it.
I don't want anything from you!

LYNDY: Mama! Mama!
Oh, sweetie, are you okay?
What's wrong? What happened?
Someone's at the door.
I hear scratching.
No, no, honey. It's okay. It
was just a bad dream, right?
You're fine.
(FOOTSTEPS CRUNCH)

JEFFERSON: You think you know
what's best for this place?
Prove it!
Well, I think I found something.
These X's are all the robberies
reported within the area.
The thief moves around. One town is hit,
then another, and another!
Yeah, well, they're gonna move around
'cause they don't wanna get caught.
But the moves aren't random.
I think I found a pattern.
What do you mean?
The robberies match another thing
that's been moving through the area.
The fair!
The fair sets up,
robberies are reported,
the fair moves on, reports stop.
- Hmm.
- I bet our thief works at the fair!
I don't know. I mean, the
timeline adds up, but
it also matches when Logan and
his crew arrived at Coopers.
(KEYS CLACK)
That's where the fair
was set up in Hudson.
And look, there's a pawn
shop under a mile away!
Come on, how do you feel about
getting those boots on the ground?
(CHUCKLES)
(DRILL WHIRS)
Jack!
Jack Bartlett! What are you doing?
I'm protecting my great-grandchildren.
- What does it look like?
- No, you're not protecting them, honey,
you are now terrifying them.
I know you feel responsible
for the burglary,
but it was days ago.
We're safe. We're fine.
Get over your guilt.
It's not guilt, all right.
- Well then, what is it?
- It's that damn watch!
(FOOTSTEPS CRUNCH)
RICK: Okay, I've spoken
to our tech guys,
they can wipe your laptop remotely.
Just make the call.
- (BEEPS PHONE ON)
- (STRESSED SIGH)
Hey, yeah um
- wipe it.
- (SIGHS)
Mm-hmm.
- It's done.
- Oh, thank God.
- (SIGHS)
- Uh

You have my laptop.
Why do you have my laptop?
Came in the other night, and it
was just sitting on your desk.
Didn't seem very safe. I mean
don't you know about
the robberies in town?
I locked it up in the supply closet.
That was three days ago.
I thought it was stolen.
Well, I left you a note,
telling you where it was.
I put it on your
Wow, how do you get anything done?

(HOOVES THUD GENTLY)
- Hey.
- Hi.
(GRASS RUSTLES, HOOVES THUD)
You stayed. I'm glad.
I figured, you know,
I can go whenever, but
I mean, you said the horse
needs to trust us, right.
So, I didn't really wanna
give him abandonment issues.
That makes sense.
But the truth is
I got on the road, and I just
I don't know, I didn't wanna be there.
Come on. Let's get to work.
(THE PAINT NICKERS)
(CLICKS TONGUE)
Come on, let's go.
Hup, hup, hup, hup!
(HOOVES THUD)
Come on! Hup, hup, hup, hup!

(AMY CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

JACK: We all know there was no
love lost between my dad and me,
but losing that watch it mattered.
For whatever reason,
it brought back memories and
Which ones?
The kind I'd rather forget.
From after my sister's death.
When it was just me and
and my dad, here,
and I was workin' my tail
off to keep this place afloat
while he was drowning
himself in grief and alcohol.
Why wouldn't you just tell
me why you were upset, honey?
I'm not upset!
I'm not upset about the watch, or
the break-in, what I am, is angry.
I'm angry at what it
all conjured up, that
you know, that feeling
that you can't even be
safe in your own home.
I haven't felt that way
since June died, and
and Dad, he took that one out on me.
What your dad did is heartbreaking,
- but you can't be angry at yourself.
- Why not?
I didn't make you feel safe,
I made you feel the way he made me feel,
- and I promised I would never do that to anyone.
- No!
You always make me feel safe.
Okay? You're not your father.
(SIGHS) You need to pull
yourself out of the past,
and focus on the present.
And take your
great-granddaughter fishing.
- Okay.
- Appreciate all that you have.
Because you made this!
You pulled yourself
out of a very dark place
and you created this
beautiful, perfect,
safe home for us.
Okay?

(FOOTSTEPS THUD)
(INQUISITIVE MUSIC)


I'd like to see this watch, please.
(GLASS RASPS)

- TIM: That it?
- (WATCH RATTLES)
All right, buddy,
we all know where this watch came from
and I'm sure if I look
around there's a few other
hot little items in here,
if I take a good look.
No clue what you mean. Sorry.
All right, let me make
myself a little clearer.
What
Hey! You can't do that!
(TROPHY RATTLES)
Whoa, wh-hoa!

See this? Tim Fleming.
Tim Fleming. Nice to meet ya.
Okay, here's what's gonna happen.
We're gonna take that
watch and this trophy,
and we're gonna leave, and you're
not gonna say a thing about it.
Come on, partner.
Wait, I need to know.
Who brought these in?
What did they look like?
It was kids, right?
Uh it was an older guy.
Bunch of tattoos
definitely not a local.
- And definitely not Logan.
- (SCOFFS)
So, are you gonna call the cops?
Oh, absolutely.

- AMY: We did some great work today.
- Yeah?
- And that wildie came a long way, huh?
- Yeah.
You think he'll be ready to ride soon?
Yeah, soon, if we keep this up.
I just realized, I've
never seen you on a horse.
- Can you ride?
- Uh, I mean, probably not.
- I've never tried it.
- No?
All right. You want a lesson?
BOTH: (CHUCKLE)
- Come on!
- All right.
All right, so sit up nice
and tall in the saddle,
make sure you look where you wanna go.
Okay, now I want you to steer.
(HOOVES THUD)
That's it.

(HOOVES THUD, SHADOW NICKERS)

Okay, okay, okay, that's
it. That's it. Slow down.
Slow down. We don't need
to be going that fast!

(TROPHY THUDS ON TABLE)

- (CLAPPING)
Well, at least one of
us got a happy ending.
And aren't we glad it was Tim.
- (CHUCKLING)
- I'd like to propose a toast
to Parker.
For your expert detective work.
Parker, you and I make a great team.
Actually, you made a good sidekick.
ALL: (LAUGH)
Well, the Chief of Police
sends his thanks, too.
Can I add something?
Parker, thank you for
saving the centre's rep
and taking the heat off my friends.
And off me.
- It was my honour.
- ALL: (CHUCKLE)
JACK: I'm just glad to see you
back at our table tonight, Logan,

(DOOR SQUEAKS SHUT)
(FOOTSTEPS SHUFFLE)
Logan, I just wanna say
your dad might've made a few bad choices
to wind up where he is but
that doesn't mean he's a bad man.
Now, I know you're angry at him,
but don't carry it with
ya, trust me. It's
(SOFT CHUCKLE)
it's not worth it.

(TIRES RUMBLE ON GRAVEL)
(SEATBELTS UNCLICKS)
(DOORS OPEN AND SHUT)
So, we'll get back to
work later this week?
- Yep. Sounds great.
- (BIKE RATTLES)
And uh, Amy, uh
thank you.
You know, this is all
just making me feel like I
actually belong somewhere, you know.
Haven't felt like that in a long time.
- See ya.
- (BIKE GEARS CLICK)
Clint!
Hey, what are you doin' here?
Well, Cooper's gone, he left.
What do you mean, he left?
He threatened to do it the other day,
and I thought I talked
some reason into him but
Amy, this centre is so far in the hole,
I think he just got overwhelmed.
I think he just needed to walk away.
What about the horses? Logan? The kids?
Well, I'm gonna step in.
Temporarily. Um

Amy, if Cooper doesn't come back,
I think this centre's
gonna have to shut down.

So, I told Logan to forgive his dad.
I know. I heard.
You gonna be able to do the same?
Oh, I don't know.
I'm workin' on it.

You know, down at that
pond, with Lyndy
I remembered a time when it was good.
When I was still so in awe of him.
But then, life dealt us the hand it did.
I realized my dad did one thing right.
He made me put this ranch,
this place,
above everything else,
and I am grateful for that.
I am, too.
And I'm grateful for you.
(SMALL CHUCKLE, GLASSES CLINK)
(DOOR CLUNKS OPEN, SHUTS)
Hi, Honey.
Jack, I wanted you to know,
the trophy wasn't the only
thing Tim and I found today.
LISA: (GASPS)

(GLASS CLINKS ON TABLE)
I don't believe it.
Thank you, Parker.
(GIGGLES)

I'll wear it right now.
