Heartland (CA) s19e05 Episode Script

Previously on Heartland.
Is Nathan your boyfriend?
I like him a lot.
You like him too, don't you?
(LYNDY) No. I don't want him
to come to my show tomorrow.
If you can cut back on the drinking
and the bustin' up trucks,
you might have
- a future ahead of you.
- I don't.
At the end of last season,
I got run by a guy.
The damage is permanent.
Nobody wants a goalie
who can't see the puck.
What you need to ask yourself is
do you really like them?
Like, are they real friend material?
My sister Tammy,
we don't talk anymore.
One of the biggest regrets of my life.
- (JACK) That's Gracie Pryce?
- (LOU) Wait, you knew her?
She used to spend time
at the ranch with your mom.
It's funny that she never
mentioned it to you.

Hey. Hey.
What's gotten into you?

You having fun?
That look like
my eyesight's a problem?
You're making a racket,
and it's scaring the horses.
How long have you been in here?
Just taking a break
from the old farm chores.
Can't get sloppy because
the hockey career's on hold.
Plus, chicks dig a six-pack.
So hockey's on hold, huh?
I didn't get where I am
by accepting failure.
Well, now that you're all warmed up,
how about we see if we can
improve your riding skills or
lack thereof.
You know, I'm not sure
Harley and I really vibe.
Can we go riding another day?
Suit yourself.
(SOFT MUSIC)
Gracie.
Everything OK?
I don't know how the
the great Marion Fleming died.
It was a car accident.
Saving this guy, actually. Spartan.
- (SPARTAN GRUMBLES)
- Oh.
You did well.
You know, you capitalized
on her fame and what she built.
I think I've proven
I can stand on my own two feet.
Sure.
(SPARTAN WHINNIES SOFTLY)
Hey.
My brother says you're trying
to save the career
of an Olympic show jumper.
I'm working with Taya Miller's horse.
I wouldn't say
that I'm saving her career.
It's a lot of pressure.
(LAUGHING)
Even for the famous
Amy Fleming, right?
Break a leg.

(ADVENTUROUS MUSIC)
No, this time,
we're supposed to go down
the full centre line together.
Just take him around the outside
and we'll go again,
otherwise you'll
(NEIGHING) Whoa, hey, hey!
(GROANS)
Oh.
- Otherwise I'll eat dirt?
- I'll give you
a 10 for form, you good?
- (KATIE SIGHS)
- Yeah.
Yeah, I just I wish
there was a magic wand
to help me get all this.
No, you have to practise
the pattern until it's instinct.
Have you been working
with Dodger on your own?
A bit, yeah.
Just hard to keep it all in my head.
OK, mount back up,
and we'll try again.
Uh, I think I'm done for today.
I have to get going to work. Sorry.
Fine. Um
I guess I should get home, too.
Spend some time on the cello
before my mom throws a hissy fit.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Amazing! I think
your classmates are gonna love
this show and tell
Oh! Wow, the grass is growing already.
(LISA) Yeah.
- (AMY SIGHS HEAVILY)
- Is today the day
Taya Miller's gonna jump Polaris?
Yeah. She should be here soon.
Can't believe you got to work
with a million-dollar horse.
Do you think she could even
qualify for the Olympics again?
Well, I think
that the horse has the scope.
I just hope I can get
his confidence back.
(CLATTERING)
I don't think I've ever
seen you this nervous.
(AMY SIGHS)
Taya Miller is a national treasure.
Georgie even had
her poster on the wall.
I I just,
I either impress her, or
National treasure or not, honey,
she came to you for help for a reason.
(AMY SIGHS)
(LIVELY MUSIC)
(POLARIS GRUMBLING)
- Amy.
- Hi!
It's so great to finally meet you.
I'm sorry my barn manager
had to be the one
- to bring Polaris over.
- No worries at all.
I have been watching
your career for years.
Then you saw me compete
with Polaris's brother, Sirius.
Yeah. Is he a full sibling?
The one and only, yes.
My best chance at another
jumping Grand Slam and
one final Olympics.
Why final?
I'll be retiring after that.
Unless Polaris is out of commission,
then maybe it'll be sooner.
How is he?
Um, I think you should
see for yourself.
(SOFT MUSIC)
(POLARIS SNORTS SOFTLY)
Hey.
Is she the show jumper
that had a bad wreck?
(AMY) Yeah.
This is kind of a moment of truth.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's been going fine with me,
but
(AMY EXHALES HEAVILY)
(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC)
Nice!
- Whoa.
- Well done.
He didn't even look at those fences.
I can't believe it.
Two weeks ago,
I never thought he'd recover.
But what you've done is,
well magic.
I just, I want to see you
and Polaris up on the podium.
Make Canada proud.
(POLARIS WHINNIES)
I'll arrange to have
this guy picked up tomorrow.
Thank you.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
- Get over here, miracle girl.
- No. Stop. Stop.
Get out of here. (NATHAN LAUGHS)
(AMY SIGHS)
(GATE CREAKS)
(UNCERTAIN MUSIC)
Hey.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Did you know Molly can do
some pretty cool tricks?
Molly, stop, drop, roll.
(NATHAN LAUGHS) OK, your turn.
Molly, stop
drop, roll.
- There you go!
- Good girl.
I had another dog before, Molly.
They used to curl up
at the end of the bed.
His name was Twig.
Twig?
I like that.
Hey, you two should come over
to my place for lunch.
I need to finish
my show-and-tell project.
I understand.
School is very important.
Maybe some other time. (AMY SIGHS)
(CROW CAWING)
(MOLLY BARKING)
Close, but, uh
then so far. (CHUCKLES SADLY)
She'll come around. I promise.
I have to talk to you about something.
I ran into your sister this morning.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)
There you are.
(NATHAN SR. LAUGHS)
Oh, Bessie, I wonder
when she's gonna have them pups.
- Hey, Junior!
- Hey.
- See what Gracie made?
- Yeah.
- Remember that?
- Yeah, I do.
I know you loved that tire swing.
And I know I let it fall down,
but I'm going to fix that up for you.
- I'm going to get it tip-top.
- Sounds good, Dad.
Oh
Oh, there's your mother.
God, Gracie, you look
more like her every day.
Just beautiful.
Speaking of your mother,
I better go find her.
- (LAUGHS)
- Oh, actually, Pop,
uh, I think it's time
for you to go pump some iron.
- Mom's going to visit later.
- Oh, yeah.
- All right.
- Yeah.
There she is. Ha-ha! Hey, miss.
Let's go do this thing.
Physio says he's doing great.
He's almost healed from his fall.
Here, take a look.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
Aww.
You must have put hours into this.
Nah, I did it while nursing
a beer and watchin' hockey.
Very domestic.
Well, Dad loves it.
You're really great with him.
Thank you.
(SOFTLY) Of course, little brother.
Um
(NATHAN SIGHS)
Amy said she ran
into you earlier today.
You said some things
that kind of upset her.
Like what?
Well, like insinuating
that she used her mom's death
to build her business.
Well, that wasn't my intention.
But, I mean you know,
if she heard it that way,
then I'll make it right with her.
Really? No argument?
She's important to you.
So I better get her to like me, right?
Actually, I invite
I'm going to invite her
to, uh, Dad's birthday barbeque.
So yeah.
(NATHAN CHUCKLES)
OK. (GRACIE LAUGHS)
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
(CLATTERING)
- Gracie?
- Uh, hey.
Sorry, I didn't I didn't
mean to freak you out.
Um
I just came by to apologize.
Um
If I was flippant this morning,
you know, what I said
about your mom, it was
it was just meant to be a compliment.
I think you've built
something really special here
in spite of loss.
Thank you.
I hope if, in the future,
you have a problem with me,
we could just talk direct.
You know?
Maybe we could be friends.
Yeah.
We're having a birthday party
for my dad day after tomorrow.
You and Lindsay should come.
It's Lyndy.
Hmm. There
There I go again.
Another apology needed.
It's OK.
We'll be there.
No need to bring anything.
It's just family.
(RAPIDLY RECEDING FOOTSTEPS)
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
(CHEWING)
(JACK) He can't sit still.
Like, if he stops for one second,
he'll have to actually think.
Yeah, well, it's understandable.
He's just had his career
snatched away from him.
Yeah, well,
he's in denial about that, too.
- (AMY SIGHS)
- I'm gonna go out and feed.
If you need some fresh air,
feel free to help.
(JACK CHUCKLES)
OK, I'm going to pick up Katie.
That's for you.
Oh, that's the letter
I wrote to my sister, Tammy.
Yeah, looks like she moved.
Yeah, I will get the new address
(KISSES) from my nephew, Ben.
- I'll see you in a little bit?
- Yeah.
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
Hey, Spartan.
You haven't eaten your dinner.
Not like you.
(GURGLING)
Grandpa?!
I think Spartan's colicking.
(LISA) Hey, Ben.
It's your Aunt Lisa.
I am really sorry it's been this long.
Could you give me a call
when you get a chance?
I would love to just reconnect.
OK, honey. Thanks.
Hey. Um
Any chance I could still
get a burger to go?
Our grill is shut down,
but we have some fresh sandwiches.
Yeah, that's perfect.
No sandwich until you tell me
what's wrong, though.
- Nothing's wrong.
- Either that's a lie,
or you've been watching
A Walk to Remember again.
You've definitely been crying.
This is a judgment-free zone.
My mother is being insufferable.
We had a huge fight,
and she was yelling,
so I threw my stuff in a bag
and just split
while she was in the bathroom.
I'm sorry.
Does she know where you are?
No. I'd rather sleep in a barnstall
at the rodeo grounds than go home.
Well, maybe you don't have
to do anything that dramatic.
Lisa, could River come stay
with us overnight?
Absolutely! That's fine with me.
But you would have to call
your mom and let her know.
OK, I'll give her a call.
(SOFT MUSIC)
It's OK. It's OK.
I know it hurts.
(JACK) Now you go, Polaris.
Get some fresh air.
I don't like how lethargic he is.
We almost lost Spartan
to colic once before.
That horse will do anything for you.
So you keep him on his feet.
- I'll call Scott.
- OK.
Can you check on Lyndy for me?
- Let her know I'm out here.
- You bet.
You're OK. Come on.
So how long a drive is it?
(JACK SIGHS HEAVILY)
OK, well, we'll
we'll give
Diamond Valley Emergency a call
if things get worse, but you gotta do
your best to get here, Scott.
This is Spartan we're talking about.
- Aren't we having dinner?
- All right. Yeah.
Your mom's just out watering
the horses, pumpkin,
and I'm gonna go help her for a bit,
and then we'll get supper on the go.
Hey, GG.
Feel free to raid the fridge
for something to drink.
Hi!
(SOFT MUSIC)
(SOFTLY) Come on, Spartan. Come on.
I know it hurts,
but you got to keep walking.
(SPARTAN GRUMBLES)
Come on, you can do this.
I know. Hey.
Please don't make me say goodbye, OK?
No more goodbyes.
Please.
No! (KATIE LAUGHS)
- Oh.
- Ha!
- Shh.
- What?
Oh
She's pretty adorable, isn't she?
Yeah.
Growing up way too fast, though.
Do you ever think we are, too?
I mean, when was the last time
you had a sleepover?
I actually don't remember.
I used to have my best friends
over every weekend.
Now all, we do is
exchange internet videos
and go to restaurants we can't afford.
Yeah, it's like
we all collectively decided
that game and movie nights are lame.
- Which they're not!
- Oh, no way!
Yeah, I don't even remember
what it's like
to have someone my own age around.
No one warns you that being
a teenager is lonely.
- (SLURPING)
- Shh!
Sorry. Do you want another one?
Oh, please! Yes! (GIGGLING)
(CELL PHONE BUZZING)
(CELL PHONE BUZZING)
(CELL PHONE BUZZING)
(CELL PHONE BUZZES)
River, your mom
has called you 12 times
in the past two hours.
You didn't actually call her, did you?
No!
So what? I'm 18 in, like, a month.
I'm an adult.
She doesn't need to know
my every move.
You had a fight! You just left.
She should at least know you're OK.
(LYNDY GROANS)
Katie, please!
Don't bust me or she'll come
over here and drag me back home.
(SOFT MUSIC)
I was wondering if either
of you would like a cup of tea.
Oh!
Oh. Sorry, honey.
I didn't hear you come in.
I wasn't being very stealthy.
Must have dozed off, I guess.
- Uh-huh.
- Thank you.
How's Lyndy?
Oh, she's having a blast playing cards
with River and Katie.
Although, at this point,
I'm pretty sure she's just
fighting to keep her eyes open.
(AMY LAUGHS)
How's our patient doing?
He's drinking, so that's good.
I think I'm going to stay out here
and just keep walking him every hour.
I'll stay with you.
Grandpa, no.
You go get some sleep.
(SOFT MUSIC)
Well, I'll keep my phone by the bed.
The ring will be on high.
- OK.
- OK.
- Good night.
- Good night.
(OWL HOOTS)
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
Hey, I'm glad you're still up.
- Hi.
- Is Spartan OK?
Yes, uh, much improved.
Amy's gonna spend the night
in the barn with him, though.
Why do you still look so worried?
Oh, um, do I?
Um I
lost track of my sister, Tammy.
She, uh, abandoned our family
back in our 20s, and
- It was over a guy.
- Ooh, rough.
Yeah, we haven't spoken in years,
but I've always known where she was.
And now she's not at her old address,
and her son Ben doesn't know
where she is either.
So I'm just
Well, this day and age, there
has to be a way to find her.
You would think. I'm trying.
Appreciate your optimism.
Now, what are you
doing up at this hour?
So
River didn't actually
call and tell her mom
- about staying with us.
- Oh, no!
That woman must be in a panic.
Yeah, I wasn't supposed
to say anything.
River thinks her mom will
force her to come home.
Could you try and convince her
to let River stay
the rest of the night?
I think she needs this, needs space.
Sure, of course.
OK. Um
his is the flag team's
list of emergency contacts.
River's home number is there.
Yeah, sure, honey. I'll call her.
- Thank you, Lisa.
- Of course.
Get some sleep.
Yeah, you too.

(CLICKS TONGUE)
(POLARIS SNORTS SOFTLY)
Hey, Amy!
I think there's something
wrong with this guy.
What?
Dex, go get my grandpa.
Tell him Polaris is sick.
Hurry!
(TENSE MUSIC)
Dex, come here.
Just keep walking
Spartan for me, please.
And then don't let him lie down.
If he does, yell!
(POLARIS GROANS)
Hang on, Polaris.
It's all right. Whoa
(POLARIS SNORTS SOFTLY)
Whoa. You're OK.
Hey. It's all right.
I know. You got to get up, OK?
That looks good, Dex.
It's OK. You need
to get up for me, OK?
OK? Come on.
(POLARIS SNORTS SOFTLY)
Come on, buddy.
Get up. Good boy.
That's it. Come on.
You got to keep walking. Let's go.
(JACK) Keep him moving, Dex!
How is he?
He's not good.
We should get him to the emergency.
I'll pull the trailer around.
- (AMY SIGHS HEAVILY)
- It's OK.
You're going to be OK.
(APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS)
- Hey, Lisa!
- Good morning!
Morning! Did you make this?
I, well, I put it out. (CHUCKLING)
Would you like a coffee?
- Please! Heh.
- (LISA) OK.
Now, I want you to promise
that you won't get angry with Katie.
(RIVER) Why would I be angry?
I
um, I told Lisa
that you didn't actually
call your mom last night.
So I did call her,
just to let her know
that you were safe with us
and that maybe it was
a good idea that the two of you
cooled off overnight.
I just, I couldn't stand the idea
of your mom being worried.
What happened to this being
a judgment-free zone?
You don't even have all the facts!
Mom says I have to quit flag team.
She's giving me an ultimatum.
She won't pay for Flynn's board
unless I devote
all of my free time
to school and cello.
OK, that's pretty awful.
Yeah, when I graduate,
I plan on moving out,
getting a job so I can pay
for Flynn myself.
Listen.
I don't agree with the ultimatum,
but as you get older,
you will realize that
your parents are just human.
And
you can't cut ties every
single time you disagree,
or you will lose each other.
Trust me, I know.
No, no.
If my mom wants to make things right,
she can apologize.
Until then, I'm not going home.
River, wait.
River!
(DOOR SHUTS)
(KATIE SIGHS)
I hope you're not planning
on heading home anytime soon.
I need you to stay with Spartan.
No problem.
Did you hear me?
I said, yeah. No problem.
Much appreciated.
That horse is family.
Is it normal for two horses
to have colic at the same time?
Like, is it contagious?
(SPARTAN GRUMBLES)
No. No, it's not.
(AMY) Grandpa, I got the horse loaded.
Keep an eye on the other horses.
We're assuming this is colic,
but we're not sure.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(VEHICLE APPROACHING)
(AMY) Hey.
What's going on?
Did Spartan get worse?
No, it's Polaris. He's sick too.
We're going to take him in right now.
OK. Uh Can I do anything?
You want me to come with you?
(DOOR SHUTS)
Could could you take
Lyndy to school, please?
- Sure. Yeah, OK.
- Thank you.
- (ENGINE STARTS)
- No problem.
I'm not sure how she's
going to like that, but
(ENGINE STARTS)

(STOMPING DOWN STAIRS)
(DISTANT INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Watch out for the bench, bookworm.
- (KATIE CHUCKLES)
- Thanks.
Are you OK?
Yeah.
Sorry for bailing on you earlier
and for acting like a jerk.
You were really supportive,
and I threw it in your face.
I know what it's like
to be at odds with your mom.
- She took back her ultimatum.
- You talked to her?
Yeah.
Once I thought about
what Lisa said about,
like, losing each other,
I don't want that.
Mom agreed to let me try
and keep doing everything.
The real test will come
in the fall, I guess,
when I start university.
Well, if there's anything
I can do to help, I'm here.
You know, I feel like I'm being pulled
in two different directions myself.
I submitted a short story
to the Calgary Writers Festival.
If I get chosen, I get to read my work
alongside actual published authors.
Then I totally get
why you'd prioritize it.
I guess we're both having
trouble juggling.
Would you call it juggling
if all of the balls
end up on the ground?
Oh, no. Your story
didn't get selected?
I don't know yet.
The answer's in my inbox.
Like, right now?
And you haven't opened it.
Well, a stalker interrupted me.
Well, come on!
Now I want to know, too.
(BOTH LAUGH)
No, I can't. You do it.
(RIVER LAUGHS)
Oh, Katie, I'm so sorry,
but you're gonna have
to get better at keeping
those balls in the air.

Just gonna check on Dex and Spartan.
Thank you, Grandpa.
Lyndy's inside.
(KISSES) How are you?
I think I just need a minute.
Yeah.
What happened?
(AMY SIGHS HEAVILY)
Well
Polaris is going to be fine.
He didn't need surgery,
and the vet said
he'll make a full recovery.
That's great news.
But what I can't wrap my head around
is how this even happened.
I mean, two horses getting
sick at the same time?
Yeah.
(AMY SCOFFS)
I should have paid
closer attention to Polaris.
Nobody expects two horses
to colic at the same time.
I know, but I should
have checked on him!
You got to stop beating yourself up.
If I lost a client horse,
I mean any client horse,
but especially that one
Hey, you didn't.
It's not your fault.
It's nobody's fault.

Amy!
Taya.
I drove all the way
out here to confront you,
and now, I don't know what to say.
- Taya, I am so sorry.
- Oh, right, I remember now.
- You nearly killed my horse!
- No, that's not fair.
Isn't it? One horse getting sick, OK.
Fine, but two?
That suggests neglect at best.
Clearly, you fed them
something that made them sick.
No. We checked their feed.
We made sure they had water.
Why did you wait so long
to take Polaris to the vet?
Because
we didn't know he was sick.
Right.
Because you were busy looking
after your horse, not mine.
You know, I think people
need to hear about this.
Yeah.
Because next time,
the horse may not be so lucky.
(VEHICLE DOOR SHUTS)
(JACK) Hey, don't let what
that woman said get to you.
You did not hurt Polaris.
She's right, Grandpa.
Two horses suggest a cause.
We checked the hay, the grain.
We didn't find anything bad there.
I know. It's just
What if
What if someone fed them something?
You know (SCOFFS)
Gracie Pryce was in the barn
right before I fed
both Polaris and Spartan.
And they were chewing,
as if she'd given
them something to eat.
You think she what,
brought over rancid grain?
Or cattle feed,
or tall buttercup, or I don't know.
That's been a big problem
with horses in Montana.
OK, Amy, easy.
Now, I'm not discounting
your instincts,
but you're running on emotions here.
What got you thinking that
Gracie would target your horse?
She was in the barn, Grandpa!
I mean I don't know.
Maybe I am just grasping
at straws, but
- You're hurting.
- I'm angry.
Now I have to go over
there with Lyndy to
Pryce Sr.'s birthday party,
and I don't want to go.
Might be good for you to get
another look at Gracie Pryce.
See if you feel the same way
when you're looking her in the eye.
(AMY SIGHS)
Well, I'm taking Dex out for a ride.
I think he might have beat you to it
'cause he took Harley out
to the back pasture
about 30 minutes ago.
Did he now?
Say happy birthday to old Nate for me.
Yeah.
(SOFT MUSIC)
Oh.
(HARLEY SNORTS SOFTLY)
- (HARLEY NEIGHS SOFTLY)
- (JACK) Well, this is a change.
Did you know that it's
scientifically proven
for horses to help reduce anxiety?
Something about their
heartbeat or breathing.
You're spending too much time
on the internet.
Maybe
I was resisting before, though.
I think I thought that if I relaxed,
let myself feel, I'd be accepting.
Accepting that I can't
play pro anymore.
I didn't want to admit
that I was done.
You're young.
Smart enough to know you're not done.
You're just starting something new.
Now, hopefully, that involves
a little more time in the saddle
because walking around
out there like you were is not
going to help me move cattle.
We have to get
a little pace to your game.
- Yes, sir.
- (HARLEY NEIGHS)
(HARLEY NEIGHS)
(INDISTINCT CHATTING)
You Lisa?
Yes, I am.
I know how I look.
Private investigator who knits.
It's a great cover, actually.
It's a perfect way
to observe without notice.
Very, very clever.
(BOTH LAUGH)
So, Lisa,
you want to find your sister.
Yes, I really do.
(NATHAN JR.) All right, I got
baked beans, corn on the cob,
and lots of burgers.
Might want to set the table.
These things are almost ready.
You're hungry, right?
- (LYNDY) Yeah, I am.
- Yeah. Yeah, we're starving.
I only did five candles
because I didn't want
- to burn the house down.
- I'm starving.
Don't spoil your appetite, though.
- These burgers are almost ready.
- Hey, whose birthday is it?
(LAUGHING)
- I think it's yours.
- It is!
Your dad seems really happy.
Yeah, yeah.
Gracie's been wonderful with him, too.
And I haven't stopped worrying
like this in a long time.
So before we dish it up,
I have a surprise.
I have a surprise.
- OK.
- OK. I like a surprise.
Come on.
- OK.
- Let's go.
Now, technically,
this is a surprise
for my little brother.
But I think he's going to want
to share with you, Lyndy.
- (GASPS)
- Wow!
- (NATHAN SR. LAUGHS)
- Didn't I make one of them?
Yeah.
Yeah, you did, Dad.
You made it for me.
- You want to go on?
- Yeah!
OK. Hold on.
(LYNDY LAUGHS) OK. I'm gonna push you.
Wow! (LAUGHING)
OK, want to keep goin'? All right.
(LAUGHING) (LYNDY EXCLAIMS HAPPILY)
Woo! (LAUGHING)
Hang on!
Good job!
(LYNDY LAUGHING)
(CELL PHONE NOTIFICATION)
Claire, it's Amy Fleming calling.
I'm sorry I missed your call.
Are you all set to bring Tiger over?
- (LYNDY) Higher!
- (GRACIE) Yeah!
Um, can I ask the reason why?
Well, that might be
what Taya Miller said,
but that's not what happened
(PHONE CALL DISCONNECTS)
(LYNDY) So much fun!
(GRACIE) I think that's high enough!
(AMY SIGHS HEAVILY)
(GRACIE LAUGHING)
(LAUGHING)
Oh! (LAUGHING)
OK, kid, I'm gonna go get
my dad a burger, OK?
Aww!
Hey, you can keep swinging.
(NATHAN SR.) Let's go get
that burger. Heh-heh.
Ooh, you're slowing down.
Here. Let me
I don't need a push.
I'm sick of swinging.
(NATHAN JR. SIGHS)
Lyndy
It's OK that you don't
like me much anymore, OK?
But I want you to know that
that doesn't change that I like you.
I think you're smart
and kind and brave.
And you have
the best mom in the world.
(SIGHS)
Everything OK?
Taya Miller's telling
anyone who will listen
that I'm to blame
for her horse getting sick.
Everyone listens to Taya Miller.
Something bad happens,
and we're always looking
for someone to blame.
Yeah, except there was no
improper feeding at Heartland,
not from me or anyone in my family.
Yeah, of course not.
Look, you don't have to convince me.
I know you're the real thing.
Thank you.
But you're going to have a hard time
killing those rumours.
OK.
I'm really sorry.
I feel for you.
I really do.
(SIGHS)
(SOLEMN MUSIC)
(SNORTING)
(SIGHS)
(SIGHS)
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Hello? Yeah, speaking.
(ENGINE STOPS)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Hey.
What happened to your show-and-tell?
Somebody knocked a table, and it fell.
Oh.
I'm sorry, Lyndy.
My mom and GG wouldn't
answer their phones.
So you got the school to call me?
I have nothing
for show-and-tell after recess,
so I just want to go home.
It's hard when something bad happens
that's totally out of your control.
You worked hard on that, I know.
Well I could take you home.
Or we could try something else,
something different for show-and-tell.
What?
Yeah?
(SOFT MUSIC)
I've lost every client on my schedule.
No one believes my side of the story.
I just
I know I made a mistake, I
I was so wrapped up with Spartan.
It just feels so fast.
I
I don't know what to do.
And I really wish you were here.
(SOFT WHOOSHING)
(SOFT SNORTING)
(CELL PHONE BEEPING REPEATEDLY)
(PHONE LINE TRILLING)
(TRUCK ENGINE STOPS)
Hey
(TRUCK DOORS SHUT) I love you.
My terrarium broke,
and you didn't answer your phone.
I'm so sorry, sweetheart.
I was out on a ride.
I didn't have service.
We called Nathan,
and he said that I could borrow Molly
for show and tell. (AMY CHUCKLES)
That is one roller coaster of a day.
I taught Molly a new trick.
Molly, sit.
Shake a paw.
The other kids were very impressed.
(AMY LAUGHS)
Next time, maybe I could take
Dewdrop for show and tell.
Oh, boy!
What have I started?
(LAUGHING)
(FRONT DOOR OPENS)
(FRONT DOOR SHUTS)
You saw that, right?
- I did. It happened.
- Mm-hmm.
(AMY LAUGHS)
Wow, um
Thank you for
for being there for her.
Of course.
For her, I'd drop everything.
(SOFT MUSIC)
Every client cancelled,
just like that?
Yeah, well Taya is world famous.
She's a champion
with a million dollar horse.
I mean, everybody's going
to take her word over mine.
Well, it's wrong.
Gracie was so mad yesterday,
I thought she was going
to go find Taya herself
and chew her out.
You know, Nathan,
I have been replaying
that night before the horses got sick.
And I can't help
the suspicion that
What?
Suspicion that what?
That (AMY SIGHS HEAVILY)
I don't know, maybe
maybe I I missed
some symptoms or something.
It was Taya Miller's horse.
I was proud and excited,
and maybe my instincts were clouded.
Well
I don't know if there's anything
I can do to ease your guilt.
But Amy,
you you help horses
and their owners.
You're not perfect.
Sweet talker.
But
you are incredible at what you do.
The truth always comes out.
Yeah.
