Risk Everything
1
- Previously on Heartland.
- Made me think it would be nice
to have someone in my corner.
Does that mean
you're ready to date again?
Don't say that.
That just sounds awkward.
I'm Nathan Pryce Junior.
I'm Amy Fleming.
Nice to meet you.
This is a much bigger commitment
than I first thought.
I'm going to be gone
for weeks at a time.
It's a little something to say
congratulations on your new job.
Thank you for taking
such good care of him.
Dodger deserves a home
where he's going to be
ridden every day.
(AMY) Nathan Pryce Senior
has Alzheimer's.
- Had no idea.
- Yeah.
That's because Nathan was
keeping the illness a secret.
Until Lou decided to announce it
to the CEO of Crown Shoppers
when we were in Vancouver.
- I'm Lou, by the way.
- Gracie.
How long are you gonna be here?
Depends on how long it
takes me to clean up your mess.
I made you choose
between Nathan and this family,
and that was so unfair.
The only thing that matters is family.
But, Amy, you should
get to be in love.
No, we agreed to stay apart,
and we had a million good reasons.
- That's not gonna work for me.
- Why is that?
Because I love you.
I love you, too.

It's nothing fancy,
just dinner with my family.
Oh, yeah, that sounds great.
- (AMY LAUGHS)
- And also a little terrifying.
Well, they'll be
on their best behaviour.
No, I just mean
I don't know, it just seems
like we're making it official.
Everybody already knows about us,
except for Lyndy.
- Yeah.
- (AMY SIGHS)
Maybe we should think
about telling her.
If that's something you're ready for.
I'm ready.
You sure?
- Yeah.
- It's a big step.
I know.
- (AMY SIGHS)
- (HAY BALE THUDS)
I want her to know
but I don't know
how she's going to react.
She loves you.
Yeah.
And Molly's part of the package,
so that gets me some bonus points.
Yes, it does.
(LIGHT MUSIC)
It's just
it's only been her and I
since Ty passed away.
And I just, I don't know if it's
going to open up some
feelings.
Yeah. I get that.
I just want to be careful.
As long as you know I'm here for you.
- Are you?
- For good. Yeah.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I'm so lucky.
(BOTH CHUCKLING)
(KISSING)
- OK.
- OK.
- No more distracting me.
- (KISSING)
I got to go.
I'm meeting a client.
But 7:30 dinner?
7:30 dinner.
OK. Don't be late.
- I won't.
- (RECEDING FOOTSTEPS)
(SPIRITED MUSIC)
(HORSE SNORTS)
Oh, no.
I'm so late for work.
I have to go get changed.
You know, I'm thrilled
to see you riding more,
but you still have
responsibilities at the diner.
I know. I know.
I just, I lost track of time.
It won't happen again.
You need a lift?
Uh, actually, I was thinking,
since I have my license now,
maybe I could borrow the SUV?

- Oh, wow.
- (BOTH CHUCKLE)
So this is the new place.
What do you think?
I think it's beautiful.
And it's all yours.
Well, it's mine and the bank's.
My parents think that
I've lost my mind, but
I knew as soon as I drove
through the front gates,
- this was my home.
- Congratulations, Miley.
Thank you.
It's definitely a dream
come true, but
it turns out dreams are expensive,
and that's sort of why
I need your help.
Follow me.
This is Queenie.
She's my pride and joy.
(NEIGHING)
- Don't be jealous, Ace.
- (AMY) Hey
- (MILEY) I love you, too.
- (CHUCKLES)
Well, either Queenie has
a very big hay belly,
- or she's very pregnant.
- Mm-hmm.
She's due any day now.
It's her first foal,
and my first attempt
at breeding champion barrel horses.
You're OK.
Is she always pacing like this?
Started a few weeks ago.
Well, I mean, it is
common for pregnant mares
to be a little unsettled,
especially if it's their first foal.
(MILEY) So this is normal?
Yeah.
I think that it's normal
for horse owners
to be a little nervous, too.
(MILEY CHUCKLES)
And I thought I was being
all cool, calm, and collected.
(BOTH LAUGH) What gave me away?
Well, that camera there, for starters,
I call it the Queenie Cam.

No, it's it's OK.

Hey.
You're OK.

(REPORTER OVER RADIO)
Officials are keeping
a close eye on weather conditions,
as the forest fire west of Hudson
continues to burn out of control.
Residents are advised
to stay clear of the area.
Winds are expected to pick up
as we move into the evening,
which will further complicate
efforts to extinguish the fire.
(ANNOUNCER) The flag team
are kicking things off
- with quite the show.
- (DOOR SHUTS)
For the best seats, stay right here.
- Hey, Grandpa.
- Hey, Lou.
We'll be live at the Paloma Rio Finals
with your hosts,
Darrell Getty and Tim Clement.
That's coming up
right after the break.
Hey, what about Dad's segment?
No, this is this is more important.
Besides, we watched him yesterday.
I'm tired of his bad jokes.
(REPORTER) because of
the weather conditions
up to this point.
But we are still experiencing
drier-than-usual
year-over-year averages.
Authorities are being
very cautious this season,
especially after the devastating fires
in Jasper last summer.
Tim's show on yet?
No, Grandpa changed the channel.
We'll just have to stream it later.
Oh.
I talked to Jessica this morning.
It sounds like they're having
the adventure of a lifetime together.
Yeah. I just hope
this newfound celebrity
isn't going to Dad's head.
(LISA LAUGHS) Yeah. Who am I kidding?
It smells amazing in here.
- Hey, Katie.
- Lyndy is making risotto.
Oh, are you?
I've been stirring for hours.
It's been about 10 minutes.
But how about you take a break
and wash up for dinner, OK?
- I'll come with you.
- Thank you.
Have you guys been following
the wildfire news?
Sounds like it's getting pretty bad.
Yeah, I'm just glad we invested in
that fire break last year.
So, are you nervous?
About the wildfire? Yeah, a little.
Not about the fires, about Nathan!
You know, breaking bread
with the family
- for the first time.
- Lou
I mean, you guys are
obviously serious.
Yeah, we are.
And I want him to feel welcome.
So please, no business talk.
No, Amy, I wouldn't.
Look, I
I meant it when I said
that I want to do things
differently this time, OK?
So Nathan is very welcome here.
OK. Thank you.
Although, it is a little weird
that he hasn't signed that agreement
to share shelf space with us.
I mean, what is taking him so long?
I don't know.
I I mean, maybe it has
something to do
with his sister being back in town.
When am I going to meet
this mysterious sister?
(JACK) I really don't
like what I'm seeing
on the news in there.
They're saying
the fire's getting worse.
Maybe we should cancel dinner.
No, Grandpa, let's not overreact.
(EMERGENCY ALER
BLARING OVER CELL PHONES)
(TENSE MUSIC)
Um, we're being evacuated.
(LISA) Oh, no.
(JACK SIGHS)
Ah
(COWS MOOING)
(HORSE SNORTING)
(CLANKING)
- (GATE CREAKING)
- (HORSE NEIGHS)
Yep, let's go.
Oh, honey, I don't think
there's enough room in the trailer.
What about Dodger?
Well, the gates are open.
If the herd needs
to make a run for it, they can.
Thanks, Grandpa.
Um, any chance we can use
that old red trailer?
Oh, it's got two flat tires.
I knew I should have fixed them!
I'm not leaving him.
You won't have to, honey.
I've got a stable hand
coming with a big trailer
for all the horses.
OK, but where are we
going to take them?
Fairfield's outside
the evacuation zone,
and I've got plenty of room
for people and horses,
so tell anyone that needs
a space to come to mine.
- Thank you, Lisa.
- Yeah.
You girls get going. No time to waste.
I'm staying to make sure Dodger's OK.
No, you are not.
Lisa and I will make sure
he gets loaded with the rest of them.
You go on to Fairfield
with your mom now.
Has anybody seen Lyndy?
- (HORSE SNORTS)
- (GATE CLANKS)
(ZIPPER SWISHES)
(DOOR OPENS)
Lyndy?
Hey, there you are.
We gotta go, sweetie.
Is the house going to burn down?
Here's what I know.
The fire is still really far away,
but they want to evacuate
all of us just to be safe.
But that does mean that we
have to leave right now, OK?
OK. Love you. Come on.
(CROW CAWING)
(MAN) What's going on up there?
(WOMAN OVER RADIO): Stand by
for emergency vehicles
travelling west.
(REPORTER) We're expecting
winds to get worse
as we head into the evening,
so we're evacuating
a pretty wide area
to ensure everyone's safety.
(WOMAN OVER RADIO)
How long do you think
the evacuation will last?
That's impossible
to say at this point.
We're going to keep
a close eye on conditions.
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)
Make no mistake, as of right now,
the risk to property and lives is
extremely high,
so it's important to listen
to the evacuation orders
and to get to safety
We'll be there soon, sweetheart.
Just think of it like a big sleepover
at Lisa's house
with all of us and the horses.
(NEIGHS)
Thanks so much.
OK, we're all set.
You go on to Fairfield without me.
What are you talking about?
You can catch a ride
with your driver right now.
I would rather go with you.
Yeah, well, I'm not leaving.
What do you mean you're not leaving?
The fire is coming this way,
and we are evacuating.
Yeah, well, I'm staying here
to protect the ranch.
Protecting the ranch,
what does that look like?
Well, I'm going to move
the propane tank
away from the house, maybe cut back
some of the brush in the yard,
get a hose on the roof.
OK, I will help.
Please, Lisa, just go to Fairfield.
I need you to be there for the girls.
- And what do I tell them?
- (JACK SIGHS)
Tell them
(JACK SIGHS)
well, I'll be there when I can.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
- (ENGINE STARTS)
- (LISA) OK.
Yeah. Fast as you can, please.
Thank you.
I'm not going anywhere without you!
- Lis!
- We can argue about it
or we can get to work.
It's up to you. (JACK SIGHS)
- Let's get to work then.
- Yeah.
- (MAN) Hey, hey. You guys OK?
- (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)
- (NATHAN) Hey.
- (AMY) Hey.
So much for our dinner plans, huh?
I can't believe this is happening.
I know.
OK, we need to start
organizing the evacuees.
Horses are going
to need feed and water,
and, eventually, so are the people.
Sorry, have we met?
Uh, Lou, this is my sister, Gracie.
Oh, right. You were at the open house.
You were?
Your grandpa makes
one heck of a burger.
It's funny,
I don't think you mentioned
you were Nathan's sister.
Didn't I?
Hey, Lou.
Yeah, OK. All hands on deck.
- (HORSE NEIGHING)
- (AMY) Come on.
You can do it.
Good boy.
Oh, you did great.
There you go. He's a brave boy.
All right, just head
into that second barn there.
- Got it.
- Yeah, thank you.
Miley, hey, what's wrong?
- (HORSE NEIGHING)
- I tried to load Queenie,
but she got spooked, and she ran off.
And then, I tried looking for her,
- but I couldn't see anything.
- It's OK. It's OK.
I know it's scary, all right?
But horses always run towards
safety in a fire or a storm.
No, I should have stayed.
I should have kept looking for her.
No, you did the right thing.
Is Ace on the trailer?
OK, why don't you go get him settled,
and I'll come find you in a bit.
It's OK!
(NATHAN) You didn't tell me
you were at the open house.
Must have slipped my mind.
Amy means a lot to me.
You could at least try
to be civil with her family.
I don't think that's asking too much.
Does Amy's family even know
about the two of you?
Of course they do.
What about her daughter?
Does she know you're a couple?
Not that it's any of your business,
but we were going to tell
her after dinner tonight.
Was that your idea?
To wait that long? Or was it Amy's?
Yeah.
You know, considering the fact
that we haven't spoken in
I don't know how many years,
you're asking an awful lot
of personal questions.
OK, you're right.
I'm sorry.
I haven't been around,
but I'm trying to change that.
And you're my little brother,
and I care about you.
If that's true, then you'll
sign the deal with Heartland.
(GRACIE SIGHS)
It's time to put
this ridiculous feud behind us.
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
(PHONE NOTIFICATION)
No.
(KATIE) Miley?
No, no, no, no, no.
This can't be happening.
- What's wrong?
- It's Queenie.
- I have to go get her.
- Where is she?
She's at my ranch.
Can you can you watch Ace for me?
Yeah, of course.
But what about the evacuation?
I'm sorry. I've got to go!
Miley?

(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(ENGINE RUMBLING)
(MECHANICAL WHIRRING)
(LEVER CRANKS)
(ENGINE STOPS)
(VEHICLE DOOR OPENS)
Smoke's getting bad. We have to go.
I told you, I'm staying here.
What else is there to do?
I still have to wet everything down,
set sprinklers on the roof.
You really think that
that's going to stop
a wall of fire
from reaching the house?
It's not always a wall of fire
that burns down houses, Lis.
Most of the time, it's embers
that fall from the sky.
OK, but
Those embers, they start small fires.
You can extinguish them,
but you have to be here to do it.
Otherwise, they
they burn out of control,
and that's when
- you lose everything.
- OK.
I know what this place means to you,
what it means to all of us.
But this house and this barn
are made of wood and stone
and can be rebuilt.
Do you want to risk your life
when you mean so much
to so many people?
(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)
(EQUIPMENT CLANKING)
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)
Amy!
- I'm worried about Miley.
- Why? What happened?
She she said something
about going to get her horse.
I tried to stop her,
but she wouldn't listen.
(ENGINE HUMMING)
(AMY OVER PHONE) Miley, hey.
What's going on?
You said that she'd run
to safety, but she didn't.
She went home.
We will figure this out, OK?
I just need you to come
back to Fairfield
- so we can make a plan.
- (MILEY) No! No!
What if what if
something happens to her?
What if she loses the foal?
I have to help her.
Miley, this isn't safe!
Just come back.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Amy, I can't talk right now.
- Miley, plea
- (CALL ENDS)
(SIGHS)
Hi. Highway's closed.
No, no. I have to get to my ranch.
There's a horse there,
and it's just
Nobody's getting through, miss.
Just go back the way you came.
(MILEY SIGHS)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(FIRE CRACKLING)
(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC)
You know, my mom used
to measure my height on this
door jamb when I was a kid,
but all the markings
have faded over time.
You can still see Marion's.
Of course, the grandkids,
great-grandkids.
Look at this.
Amy measured Lyndy's height
just last year.
I'm sure she's grown a lot since then.
You know what you said
earlier, it's true.
Everything can be rebuilt.
And I suppose there's some comfort
in knowing that the
the stones in the fireplace
would survive,
but this
these memories will never be replaced.
OK.
Wait here.
- (LOU) Amy, this is a bad idea.
- Well, I can't leave Miley
out there by herself.
Yeah, well, maybe she'll have
the good sense to come back.
OK, well, Queenie's
still trapped there.
All set.
- This is crazy.
- Yeah, I agree. Thank you.
It's not worth the risk.
If it's too dangerous, I'll come back.
No, you won't.
Just promise me you'll be careful.
Yeah, I will.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Hey.
Hey.
I don't want you to go.
I know, sweetheart.
I'll be back real soon, OK?
- Promise?
- I promise you.
(LOU) Come on.
Hey, Lyndy, you can look after Molly
while we're gone, OK?

(REPORTER) The wildfire
continues to burn
out of control west of Hudson.
Earlier today,
there seemed to be no stopping
the fire's advancement,
as it burned well over
1,700 hectares of forest.
High winds have
only worsened the situation.
Several rural properties have
already been destroyed,
with many more at risk.
Firefighters are now arriving
Hey, uh, we should do
something for these kids.
They're scared out of their minds.
Like turn the TV off?
Well, they all have phones,
that won't really make a difference.
(SOFTLY) I, um
I have an idea. Come with me.
(REPORTER) emergency
services reporting now
that they are seeing a huge uptick
in people suffering
from smoke inhalation.
(DOOR OPENS)
(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)
What are you up to?
Well, you said this can't be replaced,
and I agree.
So let's take it with us.
I appreciate this, Lisa, I do, but
it's more than just this door jamb.
Everything in this house is attached
to a memory or a feeling.
I know, honey,
but you can't save everything.
And if you try, you run
the risk of losing everything.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I do.
OK.
We don't know how long that
road is going to be passable.
Either we leave now
or we don't leave at all.
There's no chance that you'd
go on your own, is there?
No, there isn't, so I'm
afraid you're stuck with me.
(JACK LAUGHS)
When did you get so stubborn?
I learned from the master.
(JACK LAUGHS)
All right. You win.
(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC)
(JACK PANTING)
Well
This house doesn't burn down
this is gonna be a real pain to fix.
(JACK CHUCKLES)
(ADVENTUROUS MUSIC)
(AMY) No sign of Miley.
Maybe she turned back.
(AMY) Hey.
Hi, Queenie.
- Hi.
- (QUEENIE SNORTS)
(NATHAN) What's the plan?
We're going to pony her back.
It's OK.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Amy, we're going to need a new plan.
She's in labour.
How far along?
Far enough.
We're not moving her
until she's delivered her foal.
(QUEENIE WHINNIES)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
So I thought we could
set up a couple of
cross rails here
and use those cones
to make a zigzag formation.
Do you think those kids
really feel like training
their horses right now?
Think they could use a distraction.
Zigzag, huh?
Or whatever you want.
Just have fun with it.
Seems like, uh, my sister
and your brother are getting
pretty serious about each other.
Yeah, well, judging by
the way he followed her
into the fire, yeah,
I'd say he's head over heels.
It's nice they found each other.
It's a little inconvenient,
though, wouldn't you say?
I guess you can't choose
who you fall in love with.
So you're a romantic?
Maybe.
But I wouldn't mistake
that for weakness.
I know what you were doing
at the open house.
Checking out the lay of the land,
maybe scoping out the competition.
I wouldn't go that far.
But I was
I was curious about the woman
that told Crown Shoppers
that my father has Alzheimer's.
Ahem. Yeah.
That was a, uh
regrettable situation.
Mm, regrettable for us.
It worked out pretty well for you.
Regrettable because it hurt
my sister and your brother.
Look, my family's trying
to undo the damage, and
Which is why you should sign
that agreement that we made.
You know, it would
level the playing field
for both our ranches.
And more importantly,
it's going to clear a path
for Amy and Nathan.
So you're turning over a new leaf?
(LOU SIGHS)
I just think some things are
more important than business.
Like family?
Exactly.
You are a romantic.
(QUEENIE WHINNYING)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Hey, hey, hey.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
(RAPID SOFT SNORTING)
Something's wrong.
I'm going to check
the position of the foal.
- See what's going on.
- Yeah.
It's OK.
It's OK.
Oh, girl. You're OK.
Good girl.
Good girl.
(QUEENIE WHINNIES AND NEIGHS)
I
I can't feel the legs,
just the hind end.
Are you trying to reposition the foal?
I'm trying.
- (QUEENIE NICKERS)
- (AMY SIGHS)
- Anything?
- No.
OK.
Yeah, I've I've got a leg,
- but I'm going to need your help.
- All right.
(AMY GRUNTS)
- Can you get it?
- Yep.
(AMY) You ready?
Ready.
(AMY GRUNTS)
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
(HOOFBEATS)
(MAN, DISTANT) Almost there. Let's go.
Hey, GG.
Am I ever glad to see you.
I'm glad to see you, too.
Where's Lisa?
She went to check on her staff.
Maybe we should take
Lyndy to the house
and let her get a proper rest.
I tried, but she wants to be
here when her mom gets back.
She went to Miley's ranch with Nathan.
Yeah.
I heard.
Not that I approve,
but I'm sure she'll be back soon.
How are you holding up?
I was OK, and then
I started doom scrolling.
So many people are posting images
of their ranches burning down.
(JACK SIGHS)
What if that happens to us?
Well, I have to admit,
I've been wrestling with that myself.
All we can do is wait,
which is pretty much torture
if you ask me.
Maybe you should start by
cutting back on the dreadful scrolling
or whatever you call it.
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
I do have some good news, though.
My knees are aching pretty bad.
OK
See
when my knees act up like this,
it's a sure sign it's gonna rain.
That doesn't sound very scientific.
(JACK LAUGHS)
It's not, but it does
give me a little hope.
And besides
(GENTLE MUSIC)
If the worst does happen, we'll be OK.
Because we have each other.
Which gives me even more hope.
(QUEENIE WHINNYING)
- Let's go.
- One, two, three.
(AMY AND NATHAN GRUNT)
- It's OK.
- Oh, this foal
is just not budging.
(QUEENIE WHINNIES)
We gotta keep trying.
- You're OK.
- I hate to say it,
but we should probably
consider getting out of here.
No, no. I'm not leaving this horse.
Come on.
- Let's go.
- (QUEENIE GROANING)
(AMY AND LUKE GRUNT)
Ah, even if we can get the foal out,
how are we supposed to get them back
to Fairfield without a trailer?
I don't know! It's OK.
(NATHAN COUGHING)
We're not gonna leave you.
OK, just a few more minutes,
and then we gotta go.
OK.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(FIRE WHOOSHING)
- You keep trying. I'll go.
- Yeah.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(AMY GRUNTS)
(APPROACHING VEHICLE)
- (MILEY) Nathan!
- I got this. Go help Amy.
OK!
Amy?
This this baby's breached.
I'm going to need you to help me pull.
- All right? The legs.
- Uh-huh.
OK. On three.
One two three.
(AMY AND MILEY GRUNT)
(QUEENIE NEIGHING)

- (BOY)Thanks.
Hey! Thought you were bringing Lyndy.
Oh, I tried,
but she wasn't interested.
Said she wanted to wait for her mom.
She OK?
Well, Katie hasn't left her side.
You know she's in good hands.
Have you heard from Amy?
Not yet.
Hey why don't you grab Blue?
Take him around the obstacle course.
Get your mind off things.
I might just do that.

(INDISTINCT SPEAKING)
(GENTLE MUSIC)
This is a real nice thing
you've done for the kids here.
Oh, it wasn't just me.
Nathan's sister helped.
That's her right there.
That's Gracie Pryce?
- I didn't even recognize her.
- (LOU) Wait, you knew her?
A long time ago.
Probably haven't laid
eyes on her in 30 years.
She used to spend time
at the ranch with your mom.
Really?
I think she she kind of
looked up to Mary,
and you would have been
too young to remember that.
It's funny that she never
mentioned it to you.
Yeah.
Gracie Pryce plays her cards
pretty close.
I've been trying to convince her
to sign the agreement.
She's holding out for some reason.
Well, that doesn't make sense.
It benefits them more than us.
I know! I don't know.
She's playing some kind of game.
I'm trying to figure out
what my next move should be.
I thought you were
bound and determined
to do things differently this time.
I am!
Well, then maybe playing
games with Gracie
isn't the best way to approach this.
Maybe there's another way.

Queenie did a great job.

Sorry it took so long.
Highway's closed.
- Had to take a back road.
- You got here just in time.
Thank you for taking care of her.
- You both took such a huge risk.
- Yeah, so did you.
It was worth it.
This beautiful little filly.
Queenie, you're a mama now.
- (QUEENIE NEIGHS)
- (NATHAN SIGHS)
We should probably get out of here.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, yeah, OK.
We'll get her loaded in the trailer.
Come on, baby.
(GIRL LAUGHING)
Hey, uh, Gracie,
thanks again for your help.
Yeah, don't mention it.
Look, what I said before
about what happened
with Crown Shoppers being regrettable,
what I should have said was I'm sorry
for what it's worth.
It's worth something.
If we come out of this wildfire
with our ranches intact,
I want things to be different.
You know, not just for Amy and Nathan,
but for all of us.
And that starts with
signing the agreement.
Even if I sign the deal,
it doesn't mean
I'm not going to be

you listen to me.
I'm not going anywhere. OK?
I will always, always be here

Yeah, but was it the right thing?
Of course it was.
- I just
- (AMY SIGHS)
Lyndy was upset, and I left her alone.
She wasn't alone.
She was with your family.
No, Nathan, I'm her mom.
It is my job to make sure
that she feels safe and protected.
You know, she
she needs to know that
she's the centre of my world.
It's been that way
ever since her dad died, and
I don't know if she's ready
for that to change.
So maybe we hold off
on telling her about us.
I want to tell her.
I do.
I just
I don't know if now's the right time.
I told you from the start,
we'd do this on your schedule.

I didn't come all the way back here

To help.
I've been running ranches
my whole life,

I can turn all this around for us

I've been doing this
alone since Dad got sick.
I'm not too proud to accept help.

not if you're going to

Dodger deserves a home

That's because Nathan was
keeping the illness a secret.
Until Lou decided to announce it
to the CEO of Crown Shoppers
when we were in Vancouver.
- I'm Lou, by the way.
- Gracie.
How long are you gonna be here?
Depends on how long it
takes me to clean up your mess.
I made you choose
between Nathan and this family,
and that was so unfair.
The only thing that matters is family.
But, Amy, you should
get to be in love.
No, we agreed to stay apart,

to stay clear of the area.
Winds are expected to pick up
as we move into the evening,
which will further complicate
efforts to extinguish the fire.

Hey, what about Dad's segment?
No, this is this is more important.
Besides, we watched him yesterday.
I'm tired of his bad jokes.
(REPORTER) because of
the weather conditions
up to this point.
But we are still experiencing

No, Grandpa changed the channel.
We'll just have to stream it later.

You can catch a ride

What do you mean you're not leaving?
The fire is coming this way,
and we are evacuating.
Yeah, well, I'm staying here
to protect the ranch.

what does that look like?
Well, I'm going to move
the propane tank
away from the house, maybe cut back

get a hose on the roof.

I know it's scary, all right?
But horses always run towards
safety in a fire or a storm.
No, I should have stayed.
I should have kept looking for her.
No, you did the right thing.
Is Ace on the trailer?
OK, why don't you go get him settled,
and I'll come find you in a bit.
It's OK!
(NATHAN) You didn't tell me
you were at the open house.
Must have slipped my mind.
Amy means a lot to me.
You could at least try
to be civil with her family.
I don't think that's asking too much.
Does Amy's family even know
about the two of you?
Of course they do.
What about her daughter?
Does she know you're a couple?
Not that it's any of your business,
but we were going to tell
her after dinner tonight.
Was that your idea?
To wait that long? Or was it Amy's?
Yeah.
You know, considering the fact
that we haven't spoken in
I don't know how many years,
you're asking an awful lot
of personal questions.
OK, you're right.
I'm sorry.
I haven't been around,

You really think that
that's going to stop
a wall of fire
from reaching the house?
It's not always a wall of fire
that burns down houses, Lis.
Most of the time, it's embers
that fall from the sky.
OK, but
Those embers, they start small fires.
You can extinguish them,
but you have to be here to do it.
Otherwise, they
they burn out of control,

- (CALL ENDS)
(SIGHS)
Hi. Highway's closed.
No, no. I have to get to my ranch.
There's a horse there,
and it's just
Nobody's getting through, miss.
Just go back the way you came.
(MILEY SIGHS)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(FIRE CRACKLING)
(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC)
You know, my mom used
to measure my height on this
door jamb when I was a kid,
but all the markings
have faded over time.
You can still see Marion's.
Of course, the grandkids,
great-grandkids.
Look at this.
Amy measured Lyndy's height
just last year.
I'm sure she's grown a lot since then.
You know what you said
earlier, it's true.
Everything can be rebuilt.
And I suppose there's some comfort
in knowing that the
the stones in the fireplace
would survive,
but this
these memories will never be replaced.
OK.
Wait here.
- (LOU) Amy, this is a bad idea.
- Well, I can't leave Miley
out there by herself.
Yeah, well, maybe she'll have
the good sense to come back.
OK, well, Queenie's
still trapped there.
All set.
- This is crazy.
- Yeah, I agree. Thank you.
It's not worth the risk.
If it's too dangerous, I'll come back.
No, you won't.
Just promise me you'll be careful.
Yeah, I will.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Hey.
Hey.
I don't want you to go.
I know, sweetheart.
I'll be back real soon, OK?
- Promise?
- I promise you.
(LOU) Come on.
Hey, Lyndy, you can look after Molly
while we're gone, OK?

(NEIGHING)
(REPORTER) The wildfire
continues to burn
out of control west of Hudson.
Earlier today,
there seemed to be no stopping
the fire's advancement,
as it burned well over
1,700 hectares of forest.
High winds have
only worsened the situation.
Several rural properties have
already been destroyed,
with many more at risk.
Firefighters are now arriving
Hey, uh, we should do
something for these kids.
They're scared out of their minds.
Like turn the TV off?
Well, they all have phones,
that won't really make a difference.
(SOFTLY) I, um
I have an idea. Come with me.
(REPORTER) emergency
services reporting now
that they are seeing a huge uptick
in people suffering
from smoke inhalation.
(DOOR OPENS)
(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)
What are you up to?
Well, you said this can't be replaced,
and I agree.
So let's take it with us.
I appreciate this, Lisa, I do, but
it's more than just this door jamb.
Everything in this house is attached
to a memory or a feeling.
I know, honey,
but you can't save everything.
And if you try, you run
the risk of losing everything.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I do.
OK.
We don't know how long that
road is going to be passable.
Either we leave now
or we don't leave at all.
There's no chance that you'd
go on your own, is there?
No, there isn't, so I'm
afraid you're stuck with me.
(JACK LAUGHS)
When did you get so stubborn?
I learned from the master.
(JACK LAUGHS)
All right. You win.
(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC)
(JACK PANTING)
Well
This house doesn't burn down
this is gonna be a real pain to fix.
(JACK CHUCKLES)
(ADVENTUROUS MUSIC)
(AMY) No sign of Miley.
Maybe she turned back.
(AMY) Hey.
Hi, Queenie.
- Hi.
- (QUEENIE SNORTS)
(NATHAN) What's the plan?
We're going to pony her back.
It's OK.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Amy, we're going to need a new plan.
She's in labour.
How far along?
Far enough.
We're not moving her
until she's delivered her foal.
(QUEENIE WHINNIES)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
So I thought we could
set up a couple of
cross rails here
and use those cones
to make a zigzag formation.
Do you think those kids
really feel like training
their horses right now?
Think they could use a distraction.
Zigzag, huh?
Or whatever you want.
Just have fun with it.
Seems like, uh, my sister
and your brother are getting
pretty serious about each other.
Yeah, well, judging by
the way he followed her
into the fire, yeah,
I'd say he's head over heels.
It's nice they found each other.
It's a little inconvenient,
though, wouldn't you say?
I guess you can't choose
who you fall in love with.
So you're a romantic?
Maybe.
But I wouldn't mistake
that for weakness.
I know what you were doing
at the open house.
Checking out the lay of the land,
maybe scoping out the competition.
I wouldn't go that far.
But I was
I was curious about the woman
that told Crown Shoppers
that my father has Alzheimer's.
Ahem. Yeah.
That was a, uh
regrettable situation.
Mm, regrettable for us.
It worked out pretty well for you.
Regrettable because it hurt
my sister and your brother.
Look, my family's trying
to undo the damage, and
Which is why you should sign
that agreement that we made.
You know, it would
level the playing field
for both our ranches.
And more importantly,
it's going to clear a path
for Amy and Nathan.
So you're turning over a new leaf?
(LOU SIGHS)
I just think some things are
more important than business.
Like family?
Exactly.
You are a romantic.
(QUEENIE WHINNYING)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Hey, hey, hey.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
(RAPID SOFT SNORTING)
Something's wrong.
I'm going to check
the position of the foal.
- See what's going on.
- Yeah.
It's OK.
It's OK.
Oh, girl. You're OK.
Good girl.
Good girl.
(QUEENIE WHINNIES AND NEIGHS)
I
I can't feel the legs,
just the hind end.
Are you trying to reposition the foal?
I'm trying.
- (QUEENIE NICKERS)
- (AMY SIGHS)
- Anything?
- No.
OK.
Yeah, I've I've got a leg,
- but I'm going to need your help.
- All right.
(AMY GRUNTS)
- Can you get it?
- Yep.
(AMY) You ready?
Ready.
(AMY GRUNTS)
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
(HOOFBEATS)
(MAN, DISTANT) Almost there. Let's go.
Hey, GG.
Am I ever glad to see you.
I'm glad to see you, too.
Where's Lisa?
She went to check on her staff.
Maybe we should take
Lyndy to the house
and let her get a proper rest.
I tried, but she wants to be
here when her mom gets back.
She went to Miley's ranch with Nathan.
Yeah.
I heard.
Not that I approve,
but I'm sure she'll be back soon.
How are you holding up?
I was OK, and then
I started doom scrolling.
So many people are posting images
of their ranches burning down.
(JACK SIGHS)
What if that happens to us?
Well, I have to admit,
I've been wrestling with that myself.
All we can do is wait,
which is pretty much torture
if you ask me.
Maybe you should start by
cutting back on the dreadful scrolling
or whatever you call it.
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
I do have some good news, though.
My knees are aching pretty bad.
OK
See
when my knees act up like this,
it's a sure sign it's gonna rain.
That doesn't sound very scientific.
(JACK LAUGHS)
It's not, but it does
give me a little hope.
And besides
(GENTLE MUSIC)
If the worst does happen, we'll be OK.
Because we have each other.
Which gives me even more hope.
(QUEENIE WHINNYING)
- Let's go.
- One, two, three.
(AMY AND NATHAN GRUNT)
- It's OK.
- Oh, this foal
is just not budging.
(QUEENIE WHINNIES)
We gotta keep trying.
- You're OK.
- I hate to say it,
but we should probably
consider getting out of here.
No, no. I'm not leaving this horse.
Come on.
- Let's go.
- (QUEENIE GROANING)
(AMY AND LUKE GRUNT)
Ah, even if we can get the foal out,
how are we supposed to get them back
to Fairfield without a trailer?
I don't know! It's OK.
(NATHAN COUGHING)
We're not gonna leave you.
OK, just a few more minutes,
and then we gotta go.
OK.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(FIRE WHOOSHING)
- You keep trying. I'll go.
- Yeah.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(AMY GRUNTS)
(APPROACHING VEHICLE)
- (MILEY) Nathan!
- I got this. Go help Amy.
OK!
Amy?
This this baby's breached.
I'm going to need you to help me pull.
- All right? The legs.
- Uh-huh.
OK. On three.
One two three.
(AMY AND MILEY GRUNT)
(QUEENIE NEIGHING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CRESCENDOS)
- OK. Have fun.
- (BOY)Thanks.
Hey! Thought you were bringing Lyndy.
Oh, I tried,
but she wasn't interested.
Said she wanted to wait for her mom.
She OK?
Well, Katie hasn't left her side.
You know she's in good hands.
Have you heard from Amy?
Not yet.
Hey why don't you grab Blue?
Take him around the obstacle course.
Get your mind off things.
I might just do that.
(LOU CHUCKLES)
(BOY) Dad, look at me!
(INDISTINCT SPEAKING)
(GENTLE MUSIC)
This is a real nice thing
you've done for the kids here.
Oh, it wasn't just me.
Nathan's sister helped.
That's her right there.
That's Gracie Pryce?
- I didn't even recognize her.
- (LOU) Wait, you knew her?
A long time ago.
Probably haven't laid
eyes on her in 30 years.
She used to spend time
at the ranch with your mom.
Really?
I think she she kind of
looked up to Mary,
and you would have been
too young to remember that.
It's funny that she never
mentioned it to you.
Yeah.
Gracie Pryce plays her cards
pretty close.
I've been trying to convince her
to sign the agreement.
She's holding out for some reason.
Well, that doesn't make sense.
It benefits them more than us.
I know! I don't know.
She's playing some kind of game.
I'm trying to figure out
what my next move should be.
I thought you were
bound and determined
to do things differently this time.
I am!
Well, then maybe playing
games with Gracie
isn't the best way to approach this.
Maybe there's another way.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
- (AMY) Nathan!
- (NATHAN COUGHING)
Nathan, come here! (AMY SIGHS)
(QUEENIE NICKERS)
(AMY CHUCKLES)
(GENTLE MUSIC)
Nice work.
Thanks.
Queenie did a great job.
Glad you made it to the party.
Sorry it took so long.
Highway's closed.
- Had to take a back road.
- You got here just in time.
Thank you for taking care of her.
- You both took such a huge risk.
- Yeah, so did you.
It was worth it.
This beautiful little filly.
Queenie, you're a mama now.
- (QUEENIE NEIGHS)
- (NATHAN SIGHS)
We should probably get out of here.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, yeah, OK.
We'll get her loaded in the trailer.
Come on, baby.
(GIRL LAUGHING)
Hey, uh, Gracie,
thanks again for your help.
Yeah, don't mention it.
Look, what I said before
about what happened
with Crown Shoppers being regrettable,
what I should have said was I'm sorry
for what it's worth.
It's worth something.
If we come out of this wildfire
with our ranches intact,
I want things to be different.
You know, not just for Amy and Nathan,
but for all of us.
And that starts with
signing the agreement.
Even if I sign the deal,
it doesn't mean
I'm not going to be
fierce competition.
I play to win.
So do I.
Mom! They're back.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(RAPID RECEDING FOOTSTEPS)
(SNIFFLES)
You said you wouldn't be long.
I'm so sorry.
I was thinking
you would never come back.
I might have to leave
sometimes, Lyndy,
but I will always come back.
You can't promise that.
Daddy never came back.
(POIGNANT MUSIC)
Lyndy
you listen to me.
I'm not going anywhere. OK?
I will always, always be here
for you, no matter what.
And I don't want
you to doubt that, OK?
I love you.
What took you so long?
Queenie had her foal.
- Of course she did.
- (AMY CHUCKLES)
Hey, Grandpa.
- I'm glad you're back.
- Yeah, me too.
(SNIFFLES)
(HEARTWARMING MUSIC)
(FIRES CRACKLING)
(SORROWFUL MUSIC)
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(QUEENIE NICKERS)
So what are you gonna name the filly?
I don't know yet.
I want to honour the incredible way
that she came into this world, but
Wildfire Smokey doesn't
feel quite right.
(JACK LAUGHS)
What about Lucky?
That's exactly what she is.
I think that's a perfect name.
(JACK) I agree.
Good one, pumpkin. (LISA CHUCKLES)
OK, it's getting late.
Maybe we should get some rest.
- (AMY) Thank you.
- (LISA) Come on, honey.
I'll be right up to tuck you in, OK?
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(CLANKING)
(SIGHS)
(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC)
(BACKPACK RUSTLING)
It sounds like the firefighters
are making progress.
(ZIPPER SWISHING)
And there's rain
in the forecast, so
we might be able to go
home in the morning.
Yeah, that's if
we have a home to go home to.
- I'm sorry.
- Hmm.
It's been a long day.
Yeah, it has.
Queenie and her filly are doing great.
(AMY SNIFFLES)
You did a good thing.
Yeah, but was it the right thing?
Of course it was.
- I just
- (AMY SIGHS)
Lyndy was upset, and I left her alone.
She wasn't alone.
She was with your family.
No, Nathan, I'm her mom.
It is my job to make sure
that she feels safe and protected.
You know, she
she needs to know that
she's the centre of my world.
It's been that way
ever since her dad died, and
I don't know if she's ready
for that to change.
So maybe we hold off
on telling her about us.
I want to tell her.
I do.
I just
I don't know if now's the right time.
I told you from the start,
we'd do this on your schedule.
I'll wait as long
as you and Lyndy need.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
Thank you.
Yeah.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(GENTLE MUSIC)
(JACK SIGHS)
Hmm.
- What do you think?
- (JACK CLUCKS)
I think
that filly wasn't
the only one that was lucky.
You got that right.
What do you say
we, uh, repair a door jamb?
There's nothing I'd rather do more.
That'll do, Molly.
I wasn't worried.
(MOLLY BARKING)
Liar.
I didn't come all the way back here
to watch everything Dad's
worked for go up in flames.
Hey!
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Why did you come back?
The real reason.
To help.
I've been running ranches
my whole life,
and I am pretty good at it.
I can turn all this around for us
if you'll let me.
I've been doing this
alone since Dad got sick.
I'm not too proud to accept help.
- Mm-hmm.
- But
not if you're going to
make Amy's family the enemy.
Well, you don't have
to worry about that,
because I'm going to sign the deal.
You are?
Mm-hmm.
Who am I to stand
in the way of true love?
(RHYTHMIC MUSIC)
Mm-hmm.

Look, Mommy!
I'm taller than you were at my age.
- You are!
- (AMY AND JACK LAUGH)
- (LYNDY GIGGLES)
- Oh, no.
What is it?
Miley. Her ranch got hit
by the wildfire.
