Lost and Found

Previously on Heartland.
How would you feel about a job
- here at Heartland?
- Seriously?
I can't pay you,
but you'll get room and board.
Yes.
So, Lisa, you want
to find your sister.
- I really do.
- (NATHAN SR.) Jack Bartlett!
Good to see you, Nate.
Can't help seeing down the road.
I mean, how long
until I can't get on my horse?
- It's Dex.
- (RIVER) Wow, that's so
- (KATIE) Stupid?
- I was gonna say hot.
Would you do this again?
- Do what?
- Get married.
(AMY) Would you?
One day.
Good to know.
(ROCK MUSIC)
(NEIGHING)
I'm gonna ride as well as Amy one day.
Pretty sure Amy was on a horse
before she could walk,
so good luck catching up.
Challenge accepted.
(ROCK MUSIC)
(CLAPPING)
Why, thank you! (LAUGHS)
Seems like he loves it.
How long has he been a cutting horse?
Well, he was bred to be
a cutting horse,
but his owner sent him to a trainer
who kind of ran him down a little.
So I'm taking it back to basics,
showing Joker that work can be fun.
Would one of you grab the gate for me?
- Yeah.
- Here, let me help.
I can handle a gate, cowboy.
- Cowboy
- (GATE OPENS)
(LOU) The northern pasture
is looking a little overgrazed.
I was thinking we move
the yearlings down
a little early this year.
(JACK) Yeah, I'm thinking
the same thing.
Maybe I could organize the drive,
you know, plan the route.
Are you asking to be trail boss, Lou?
You can't really call it trail boss.
It's just the boss of Dex.
(JACK LAUGHS)
Maybe we should hire
a couple extra guys.
Nah. There's no time for that.
It's got to be done quick.
Now, Dex is green as grass.
I think I'll keep my usual role.
Right. Makes sense. Ahem.
Maybe we, uh
We'll take Sparrow Valley.
We'll use the coulee
to keep them together.
I was gonna suggest the same thing.
(LOU CLUCKS)
- Hey.
- Hi, guys.
Well, we have to bring
those yearlings down
from the hill sooner than expected.
Amy, can you give us a hand
or do you have plans with Nathan?
Ah, well, the downside
of him winning is
that he's staying out on the road.
But yeah, I'd like to help, actually.
It would be nice to get
Joker out of the arena
to work some cows.
Great. Katie, how about you?
Oh, sorry.
River's coming over in
a couple hours for a sleepover.
We have a big trail ride planned.
Oh, it's all good, sweetheart.
Don't break your plans.
We'll we'll make it work with four.
Great. Yeah.
I'm sure we could handle
the herd with four people.

Mr. Pryce!
Mr. Bartlett.
Do you have a minute?
(JACK) I do!
How's life on the circuit?
Oh, I actually won a tidy sum
last night in Sundre.
- Well, congratulations!
- Thanks.
Uh, so I have a
I have a favour to ask.
Gracie got called down
to Montana on short notice,
and Dad's been alone
for a couple of days.
So I was wondering if you'd want to go
and spend some time with him.
He tends to remember
people from his past, so.
Say no more, Nathan. I'm
I'm walking out the door as we speak.
I'll I'll swing by and see Nate
as soon as I hit town.
Great. Thanks.
It means a lot.
It means a lot that you asked.

(SOFT MUSIC)
Hey.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(WHEELS SCRAPING SIDEWALK)
Sir? You look a little lost.
Not lost, just, um
taking my time.
Uh, Jack Bartlett.
Hi. I'm a friend of Nate Pryce.
Oh, well, I can show you
to his suite if you like.
I wonder
if you might be able
to bring him outside,
and then we can visit in your garden.
Mr. Pryce isn't in the best state.
He refuses to leave his room.
Oh.
Is that a usual thing for him?
Well, it happens.
A visitor would probably be welcome.
Well, I I only had
a few minutes anyway, so
I'll come by another time.
- Thanks.
- OK.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
I'm so glad we're doing this!
You have no idea how badly
I need a girls' night.
Me too!
I have a whole itinerary
planned for us.
Movie tonight, I made my mom
buy us like 10 kinds of snacks.
We'll sleep in, and then
tomorrow we'll ride out
and see if we can find the wildies.
Perfection!
(WHISPERS) Wait, is that
the bull rider, Dex?
Would we call him a bull rider?
I mean, he face-planted
the second he left the chute.
It was his first time! He's adorable.
Wait, you should ask
him to ride with us.
Oh, uh, I wish I could,
but he's helping
my mom and GG move the herd tomorrow.
- It can be a really big job, so
- Wait, why don't we help?
Oh, uh, well, I kind of
thought a trail ride was
Oh, it could be fun!
They have to leave at,
like, the crack of dawn.
I'm an early riser anyways!
I mean, like, we can look
for the wildies anytime.
Please?!
OK. I'll tell my mom.
Yes, sweet!
This is going to be great.
(LISA) Good morning, good morning.
Boy, you were sound asleep
when I came in last night.
Lou tells me you're moving
the whole yearling herd today.
Yeah. Yeah, that's the plan.
(LISA SIGHS)
What's got your head in the clouds?
(JACK CHUCKLES)
Nathan rang me yesterday.
He asked me to stop in
and visit his dad at Windward.
Oh! Well, that's nice. How is Nate?
I don't know. I didn't see him.
He refuses to come out of his room.
Oh.
And what, they wouldn't
let you go inside?
I couldn't go in, Lise.
I saw Miles Grant.
He's a rancher that used to sell
grain and equipment
to us way back when.
And he's barely older than me,
but there he was,
blank as paper, pushing a walker.
Oh, honey, that's hard to see
an old friend in decline.
I just froze, Lise.
All I could think was,
Jack, it starts with hearing aids
and it ends
with you guzzling prune juice
in a dining hall
full of old strangers.
It was ridiculous.
No, no! That is a natural response.
But you know what?
You're going to have to
come to terms with it.
(JACK SIGHS)
Agreed.
And I don't want to be a man
who goes back on his word.
You won't be.
And prune juice.
- Yeah. Ain't so bad.
- (JACK LAUGHS)
Steady on.
(LISA LAUGHS)
Well, Lou has been itching
to take the reins anyway.
Is there any chance you could
come into town with me?
Honey, I would love to,
but I just got a call
from Sarah, the PI
that I hired to find Tammy.
Oh, has she got something?
Tammy's at the Country Mile
racetrack right now.
And we don't know how long
she's going to be there,
so Sarah set up this fake meeting,
and I have to get on the road.
OK, I know. I understand.
- OK. OK.
- You go. You go.
I'll come with you, GG.
We can take Nathan's dad some cookies.
Everyone likes cookies.
Aww!
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Wait, what?! I thought you agreed
we need to move the yearlings today.
We do, but Nathan asked
me to look in on his dad.
It turns out he's
hit some bumps in the road lately,
and I think I could
do more good there.
You want us to go without you?
You'll do fine, Lou.
I have complete faith in you.
Grandpa, I can visit Mr. Pryce.
Nathan asked me to do this.
I think he was right to.
(AMY) Do you want me to come with you?
Nah, your sister could use your help.
Besides, I
I've got a few issues
of my own I need to wrangle.
(LOU SIGHS)
He called me, Amy.
He asked for help,
and I mean to do right by him
and his dad if I can.
(SOFT NEIGHING)
Thank you.
OK, you have fun now.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
- (AMY YAWNS)
- I don't know why anyone
would volunteer to get up this early.
It's gonna be fun!
You won't be tired
once you're in the saddle.
Hey, serious question, though.
It's about Dex.
I'm on the edge of my seat.
OK, just to be clear, I care way more
about our friendship than a boy.
But I just need you
to be honest with me. Um
Do you like him?
Like Dex?
You mean like, like-like?
It's not a crazy question.
It is if you know my mom and GG.
They would probably kill him
if he made any moves,
which he wouldn't,
because he definitely does not
think of me that way.
OK, but I'm asking what you feel?
He's barely even my friend.
He's nice, but not my type.
- Hey!
- Hmm?
You two better hustle and tack up,
or Major Lou's gonna blow a gasket.
Let's go!
OK.
Is it weird that I'm nervous
doing this without Grandpa?
- (LOU SIGHS)
- No, but we got this!
- (LOU CHUCKLES)
- Yeah.
Oh, the wedding! Tell me everything.
The wedding was great.
And you were right.
Nathan is totally committed.
Lou, he surprised me
with how romantic he was.
- (LOU) How?!
- Look, he even got me this!
- (LOU GASPS)
- (LOU) Oh my gosh, Amy!
- He did good!
- Yeah, no, he did great!
And I think he may have changed
his mind about marriage too.
What?! Amy, that's amazing!
Yeah. No, it's great. We're great.
It was it was all,
yeah, it's it's great.
Great.
Nice horse.
You compete in barrels or anything?
Some barrels.
Mostly it's been all about the Wilds,
but I've always wanted to see
how he does around cows.
- (RIVER CHUCKLES)
- Cool.
Yo, Fleming Morris!
What are you doing back there?
- Join the party.
- (RIVER CHUCKLES)
(INDISTINCT SPEAKING OVER TV)
Come on. Come on, you got this.
Argh! He went too wide.
He went too wide.
(WOMAN SIGHS)
(BOTH EXHALE HEAVILY)
Ahem.
(UNEASY MUSIC)
What the hell are you doing here?
I my PI set this up.
I'm the buyer you're
supposed to be meeting.
Wow.
Now you've wasted both of our time.
Tammy, just please wait.
Just a minute.
It's taken a lot to find you.
Yeah?
Well, maybe because I have
no interest in being found,
especially not by you!
(AMY) Hup, let's go! Come on, cows!
- (DEX) Come on!
- (AMY) Hup!
- Hup!
- (LOU) Hey, cow!
- Hup, hup! Come on!
- (RIVER) Come on!
- Hup, hup, hup!
- Hup, hup, hup!
- (WHISTLING)
- (DEX) Hey, cows! Come on!
- Come on!
- (LOU) Hey, cows! Let's go!
Come on, hup! Hup!
(DEX) Hup! Come on!
- (RIVER) Let's go!
- (DEX) Come on!
Please tell me I'm counting wrong.
By my count,
we're missing at least 20 head.
- (SIGHS)
- I don't wanna see Jack's face
- when we show up without them.
- That's not going to happen.
I'm not leaving one cow behind.
- We've got to find them.
- (MOOING)
(SOFT MUSIC)
(WOMEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
What's the matter, GG?
I don't much care
for these types of places.
They make me think of a hospital.
Hospitals make sick people better.
Yeah.
OK. Change of plans, pumpkin.
Why don't you give
your cookies to the nurse there,
and she'll make sure
that Mr. Pryce gets them.
Mr. Bartlett, nice to see you again.
Hi.
Could you please give
these to Nathan's dad?
You're not staying?
Afraid not, no.
I got cattle to move,
and today's just
not a good one.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Seeing a couple friends would be
a really good thing for Nate.
Come on, GG!
(JACK SIGHS)
(SIGHS)
Tammy.
Lisa, what do you
actually want from me?!
I don't want anything from you.
I have replayed the conversation
that you and I had
right before you left over and over.
And I don't know what is memory
and what is fiction at this point.
I want to talk to you.
Yeah. (SNIFFLES)
- And listen.
- OK. Sure.
(BOTH SIGH)
You hired an actual PI to find me?
Yes, I did.
Fine, fine. One drink.
You have as long as
it takes me to finish it.
OK.
- (DEX) Nice.
- (RIVER GIGGLES)
(MOOING)
- You got any more of those?
- You want this?
- (RIVER LAUGHS)
- Maybe I need two.
(HOOFBEATS)
No sign of them.
Well, maybe we check
the dugout to the west.
They might have headed
there for better grass.
Yeah. Amy and I are going to ride on.
Are you three good to keep
the herd from spreading out?
Yeah. Yeah, we're fine. We got this.
OK. Let your horses graze
if you need to,
but just stay sharp if the cows
start to get restless.
It's OK, Mom. We can handle it.
All right. Be careful.
Ben told me he had
no idea where you were.
So I had a choice:
I either let it lie
or I hire a professional.
Well, being Lisa Stillman,
you couldn't do the former.
Ben's better off without me.
You know that's not true.
You would have made
a much better mother.
You're so full of
patience, so perfect.
I am far from perfect, Tammy.
I may look a little
country club to you.
I was going to say, you seem
to have forgotten your pearls.
(SIGHS)
I'm in muck boots
as much as heels these days.
- I married a rancher.
- So?
You know
all those years ago
when you got divorced,
I really hoped
that you would come home.
Aww.
Must have pissed you off
when Ryan and I got
back together, huh?
- I misjudged Ryan.
- Yeah, you did.
I shouldn't have assumed
that he was after your
our money.
I'm sorry.
But cutting me off
was really harsh punishment, Tammy.
Yeah? You want to talk
about punishment?
Do you know that Mom said
she would never speak
to me again if I married him?
Did you know that?
She made good on her promise, too!
And she also told me
that none of you wanted
anything to do with me!
I didn't know that!
She told me you didn't want
anything to do with us.
You sure jumped
at the chance to buy me out.
You knew that buying me
out of Fairfield
would cut the final ties between us.
Tammy, I was doing you a favour.
Giving you financial freedom!
Look, don't make me
the villain in all this.
I finished my drink.
You leaving or am I?
- (SIGHS HEAVILY)
- Hmm.
OK.
- No, I will go.
- Good.
(POIGNANT MUSIC)
- (RECEDING FOOTSTEPS)
- (HEAVY SIGH)
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Nate?
Nate?
It's Jack Bartlett.
I, uh, just came by for a visit.
We were neighbours,
and not too long ago,
you kicked my butt at horseshoes.
Jack.
Yeah.
So how about a rematch
out in the garden?
Well, the horseshoes here
are made of plastic.
Well, that might be perfect
for you to teach my
my great-granddaughter. This is Lyndy.
She'd love to learn from the master.
I brought you some cookies, Mr. Pryce.
Oh, thanks.
I lost my appetite
when my horse was stolen.
Stolen?
No.
No, Rowdy's safe back
at the ranch, Nate.
No!
He's gone.
They took him.
He's gone.
Take 'em all down.
He's gone.
(WHISPERS) Why does
Mr. Pryce think Rowdy's gone?
Well, because uh
Sometimes, what's wrong is
in the mind,
and, uh well,
Mr. Pryce has a lie stuck
in his head that makes him sad.
How do we get the lie out of his head?
Look where you want to go.
No cheating with the reins.
(MOOING)
- Whoa!
- (RIVER LAUGHS)
This is impossible.
No, it just takes practice.
Never heard you laugh so much.
He's funny.
I can't tell
if he likes me or not, though.
Why don't you just ask him?
- (GASPS)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Easy, easy! Whoa, Flynn!
You guys OK?
Yeah, it's weird.
Flynn's never skittish.
- He's probably just bored.
- Or hungry.
The herd looks pretty settled.
I think I'm going to give him a break.
OK.
(PERILOUS MUSIC)
(SOFT SNARLING)
(TRAILER PARKS)
(PLAYFUL MUSIC)
- (LOU) So where's Nathan now?
- (AMY) Sundre.
He's headed to Longview
this weekend, though.
Why don't you go spend
a couple of days with him?
- (CELL PHONE RINGING)
- I can watch Lyndy.
Amy, I know you're hiding
something. What's wrong?
No, nothing. I'll just call him back.
You used the word great
one too many times earlier.
If you don't want to talk
about it, that's fine.
No, it's
I'm freaking out, Lou.
You know, I I have
everything I wanted
six months ago.
Nathan is committed.
Lyndy adores him.
He's even calling Grandpa for help.
And yet, I have this feeling
in the pit of my stomach,
like something could go wrong
in the next six months.
You just told me he changed
his mind about marriage.
I mean, he's doing and saying
all the right things.
I know, and I should trust that.
But I can't stop thinking
that something could go wrong.
(RECEDING HOOFBEATS)
(SIGHS)
- (KNOCKING ON DOOR)
- Hey, Nate.
I found Rowdy. Why don't you
come outside and see him?
You trying to trick me?
Get me out of here?
No. No, there's no tricks.
You can even see him from the window.
He's just tied to the trailer.
He's waiting for you.
Liar!
Nate
please, come outside.
No! I'm not falling for it.
(JACK SIGHS)
You're gonna make me do this,
aren't you?
(PHONE RINGING)
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
The coast is clear.
Here we go, then.
Come on, Rowdy.
(ROWDY SNORTS SOFTLY)
(JACK MAKES KISSING SOUNDS)
Yep, yep, yep.
OK.
I'm coming, I'm coming!
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
- (ROWDY SNORTS SOFTLY)
- (ELEVATOR DINGS)
Shh!
- Going up?
- Yes, ma'am.
(WOMAN CHUCKLES)
(LYNDY GIGGLES)
Here we go, Rowdy.
Hurry up, GG!
Yeah, come now. Easy, easy.
Easy in there now.
That's good. Atta boy.
(JACK CHUCKLES)
- I'll take the stairs.
- OK.
I am sorry for dumping
all that on you.
It's kind of refreshing, actually.
What do you mean?
I'm usually the one freaking out.
- (AMY CHUCKLES)
- I guess that's true.
Look, it makes sense
that you're scared, Amy.
Everyone worries about
the worst-case scenario,
but you've actually experienced it.
So how do I make myself trust
when I just don't?
Look, I wish I could tell
you that everything is gonna
turn out fine, but we can't
control whether it will or not.
The only thing
you can trust is yourself.
You can handle whatever comes, Amy.
I guess so.
And please stop waiting
for the other shoe to drop
or you're going to miss out
on this wonderful
relationship you have.
Or should I say great relationship?
So great. (LOU LAUGHS)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
That's weird.
I really thought they would be here.
- (LOU SIGHS)
- Me too.
So where the heck are they?
- (HOOFBEATS)
- Hey, Nate?
You have a visitor, and he's
pretty eager to see you.
Rowdy?
Rowdy!
(JACK LAUGHS)
Hey there, young fella.
(NATHAN SENIOR LAUGHS)
I thought I lost you!
Oh, you're a good boy.
You're a good boy. Yes, you are.
I missed you. Yes, I did.
Maybe we should take
Rowdy back outside now.
Yeah, good idea.
Hey, Nate, why don't we take
Rowdy out to the garden?
It might be a bit more comfortable.
- OK!
- What's going on?
What on earth?!
(TENSE MUSIC)
(MOOING)
(SOFT SNARLING)
So, what'll it be?
Uh, truth.
What's a secret
you've never told anyone?
And I mean anyone.
I once shoplifted.
What?!
Wow. We've got
a criminal in our ranks.
OK, in my defence,
I was eight, it was a My Little Pony,
and I felt so guilty that
I buried it in the backyard.
(RIVER AND DEX LAUGH)
(CROW CAWING)
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
One time, I was having
a barbeque with my ranch hands.
He escapes his pen to join the party.
Went straight for the beer cooler.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Does he prefer bottles or cans?
I don't think it was for the beer
as much it was for the melted ice.
Guess he likes his water chilled,
don't you, Rowdy?
There is horse manure in the hallway.
Yeah, I'm real sorry about that.
I'll clean it up like
it never happened.
Say, uh
Seems plenty of these folks here,
they're they're
ranchers and riders.
I think they probably miss
their horses
just like Nate does.
Well
you certainly got
Mr. Pryce out of his slump,
even if it was not executed
in a way that
management would approve.
Duly noted.
(SIGHS) Mr. Pryce,
you think Rowdy might like
to come visit us again sometime?
- Outside?
- (LAUGHING)
Rowdy loves a good party!
- (LAUGHING)
- Hey!
(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC)
Oh, hello. Hi. Uh
Is this Tammy's phone? I
Yes, I'm her sister.
Is she OK?
Mm!
All right, Dexie. Truth or dare?
Truth.
Truth again. What a surprise.
What's a relationship
red flag for you?
Someone who steals.
Shut up! No, I get a do-over.
Um, OK. What would you choose?
Love or money?
Hmm. I'd choose love.
And just hope she's rich?
Same question,
right back at you, River.
Hey, so I just don't exist anymore?
Well, you were bored with truth, so
I choose dare.
OK. Um
I dare you to go
dunk yourself in the river.
Head to tail.
Clever. Nice way to get rid of me.
Hey, you chose dare.
No, you don't have to do that, Katie.
You two better do dare after this.
No way she'll go through with this.
(MOOING)
- (AMY GASPS)
- Lou look.
- (CROWS CAWING)
- (TENSE MUSIC)
(LOU SIGHS) Come on.
Oh, my God.
Definitely one of our missing heifers.
Still fresh.
Lou, see that?
The wolf's back.
I had hoped Gracie had scared it away.
Amy, the kids.
- Come on.
- Come on.

- (MOOING)
(RIVER WHIMPERS SOFTLY)
- What happened?
- We saw the wolf.
- It scared the cattle.
- And Flynn.
- Did it attack?
- No.
I think it was just warning
us off its territory.
It ran off when the herd spooked.
You might need stitches.
You should be able to ride.
We gotta gather the herd
and get them out of here.
Uh, should one of us take River home?
- Uh
- I can ride back with her
while the rest of you move the cows.
Are you OK going with Dex
or or Katie if you prefer?
I'll go with Dex.
Great, yeah. Um
I should stay and help
move the herd anyway.
I'm the better rider.
(RIVER GASPS)
I got you.
Thanks.
- (WOLF HOWLING)
- (LOU SIGHS)
- I'll be right back.
- Lou!
I'm not going home with
that wolf still in the prowl.

I'm done when I say I'm done.
You don't give me
that attitude dude.
- Hey, sis.
- Oh.
Look what the cat dragged in.
- Um
- Maybe you can get
this bartender here to help me out.
Give me a whisky, at least, or a beer.
- Maybe.
- Why don't we go to my place?
More comfortable. And you know what?
- I have great wine.
- I'm sure you do.

Well, today, I mean, but
Well I guess we'll just see
how she feels about me
tomorrow morning.

Hey I'm proud of you.
Proud of you

I didn't do anything
I wouldn't want someone to do for me.
Good to know.

make it back OK?
Oh, yeah, they're fine.
Lisa's gettin' River sorted.
- This isn't all of them.
- We're missing 20 head.
We found one killed by a wolf.
Lou scared it off, but
A wolf wouldn't have taken down 20.
Did you check the flats?
That's where they go
to grass midsummer.
I forgot the flats, but
we checked one of the dugouts.
We just didn't have time for more.
I really botched this drive, Grandpa.
Don't go beating yourself up, Lou.
You did what you could.
Most importantly,
all your party are safe.
We'll find
the missing cattle tomorrow.

It's a pleasure to meet you.
Oh, you too. You too.
Uh, sorry for crashing
in your loft last night.
Not at all! Heartland has
enjoyed the company
of many a fine crasher over the years.
You won't be the last.
(LISA) It's true. (LISA LAUGHS)
Um, coffee to go?
Oh, getting rid of me that fast, huh?
No, no! Sorry, sorry.
To go on a ride, if you're up for it.
I would love that.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- OK.
- Yeah.
Hmm.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(LISA CHUCKLES)
(TAMMY SIGHS)
How about here? See?
Hope you won't judge me
too much for last night.
I, uh
seeing you out of the blue
kind of brought up a lot.
Yep. For me, too.
You know, um
I did write you a very long letter
when I saw Ryan's obituary.
And I was so sad
that you had lost him.
- (LISA SIGHS)
- Coming up on four years now.
(TAMMY SIGHS)
Wow.
Um, you never did send it,
did you? The letter?
I think I decided
that you probably wouldn't
read it anyway.
Well, ahem, I can't throw stones. I
I got as far as dialing your number
when I saw that Dan had passed.
- What?
- Whoa!
(COUGHING) No, it's it's good.
- Wow.
- Oh, my goodness.
Boy, he made that strong!
- He put some painful stuff.
- Goodness, Jack!
- Woo!
- He made that so strong! Ugh!
- Sorry!
- It's OK.
(LAUGHS)
You know, it's funny. I
He's not who I thought
you'd end up with.
I think it took me decades
to realize what you always knew.
What's that?
Trying to live up to other
people's expectations will
only end in things like divorce.
And you always followed your heart.
Yeah.
But, uh, too much heart
can be messy, too, as we know.
But I think it's
the example that you set.
That is the main reason
I'm with Jack now.
Wow.
I shouldn't
I shouldn't have taken
Mom's word at face value.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Tam,
I should have fought for you.
I could have tried harder, too.
Hey
I, um
I own a three-year-old
that's set to race
in Regina next week.
I mean, a bit of a long
drive for you, but
No. Are you kidding?
I would love to share
that moment with you.

Hey, Nathan!
Jack, good timing!
Thanks for visiting my dad.
He told me a pretty crazy story.
He did?
Uh, it seemed pretty casual.
Eh, something about you
bringing Rowdy into his room.
- What? You did what?
- Yeah, well,
Lou's waiting for us.
I gotta get going.

Right where these tire tracks begin.

They were carrying a heavy load.

We got a problem bigger than a wolf.
Yeah.

Seems like he loves it.
How long has he been a cutting horse?

So I'm taking it back to basics,
showing Joker that work can be fun.

(LOU) The northern pasture

I was thinking we move
the yearlings down
a little early this year.
(JACK) Yeah, I'm thinking
the same thing.
Maybe I could organize the drive,
you know, plan the route.
Are you asking to be trail boss, Lou?
You can't really call it trail boss.
It's just the boss of Dex.
(JACK LAUGHS)
Maybe we should hire
a couple extra guys.
Nah. There's no time for that.
It's got to be done quick.
Now, Dex is green as grass.
I think I'll keep my usual role.
Right. Makes sense. Ahem.
Maybe we, uh
We'll take Sparrow Valley.
We'll use the coulee
to keep them together.
I was gonna suggest the same thing.
(LOU CLUCKS)

- Hi, guys.
Well, we have to bring
those yearlings down
from the hill sooner than expected.
Amy, can you give us a hand
or do you have plans with Nathan?
Ah, well, the downside
of him winning is
that he's staying out on the road.
But yeah, I'd like to help, actually.
It would be nice to get
Joker out of the arena

Great. Katie, how about you?
Oh, sorry.

Gracie got called down

Hi. I'm a friend of Nate Pryce.
Oh, well, I can show you
to his suite if you like.
I wonder
if you might be able
to bring him outside,
and then we can visit in your garden.
Mr. Pryce isn't in the best state.
He refuses to leave his room.
Oh.
Is that a usual thing for him?
Well, it happens.
A visitor would probably be welcome.
Well, I I only had
a few minutes anyway, so
I'll come by another time.
- Thanks.
- OK.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
I'm so glad we're doing this!
You have no idea how badly
I need a girls' night.
Me too!
I have a whole itinerary
planned for us.
Movie tonight, I made my mom
buy us like 10 kinds of snacks.
We'll sleep in, and then
tomorrow we'll ride out
and see if we can find the wildies.
Perfection!
(WHISPERS) Wait, is that
the bull rider, Dex?
Would we call him a bull rider?
I mean, he face-planted
the second he left the chute.
It was his first time! He's adorable.
Wait, you should ask
him to ride with us.
Oh, uh, I wish I could,
but he's helping
my mom and GG move the herd tomorrow.
- It can be a really big job, so
- Wait, why don't we help?
Oh, uh, well, I kind of
thought a trail ride was
Oh, it could be fun!
They have to leave at,
like, the crack of dawn.
I'm an early riser anyways!
I mean, like, we can look
for the wildies anytime.
Please?!
OK. I'll tell my mom.
Yes, sweet!
This is going to be great.
(LISA) Good morning, good morning.
Boy, you were sound asleep
when I came in last night.
Lou tells me you're moving
the whole yearling herd today.
Yeah. Yeah, that's the plan.
(LISA SIGHS)
What's got your head in the clouds?
(JACK CHUCKLES)
Nathan rang me yesterday.
He asked me to stop in
and visit his dad at Windward.
Oh! Well, that's nice. How is Nate?
I don't know. I didn't see him.
He refuses to come out of his room.
Oh.
And what, they wouldn't
let you go inside?
I couldn't go in, Lise.
I saw Miles Grant.
He's a rancher that used to sell
grain and equipment
to us way back when.
And he's barely older than me,
but there he was,
blank as paper, pushing a walker.
Oh, honey, that's hard to see
an old friend in decline.
I just froze, Lise.
All I could think was,
Jack, it starts with hearing aids
and it ends
with you guzzling prune juice
in a dining hall
full of old strangers.
It was ridiculous.
No, no! That is a natural response.
But you know what?
You're going to have to
come to terms with it.
(JACK SIGHS)
Agreed.
And I don't want to be a man
who goes back on his word.
You won't be.
And prune juice.
- Yeah. Ain't so bad.
- (JACK LAUGHS)
Steady on.
(LISA LAUGHS)
Well, Lou has been itching
to take the reins anyway.
Is there any chance you could
come into town with me?
Honey, I would love to,
but I just got a call
from Sarah, the PI
that I hired to find Tammy.
Oh, has she got something?
Tammy's at the Country Mile
racetrack right now.
And we don't know how long
she's going to be there,
so Sarah set up this fake meeting,
and I have to get on the road.
OK, I know. I understand.
- OK. OK.
- You go. You go.
I'll come with you, GG.
We can take Nathan's dad some cookies.
Everyone likes cookies.
Aww!
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Wait, what?! I thought you agreed
we need to move the yearlings today.
We do, but Nathan asked
me to look in on his dad.
It turns out he's
hit some bumps in the road lately,
and I think I could
do more good there.
You want us to go without you?
You'll do fine, Lou.
I have complete faith in you.
Grandpa, I can visit Mr. Pryce.
Nathan asked me to do this.
I think he was right to.
(AMY) Do you want me to come with you?
Nah, your sister could use your help.
Besides, I
I've got a few issues
of my own I need to wrangle.
(LOU SIGHS)

You won't be tired

Hey, serious question, though.
It's about Dex.
I'm on the edge of my seat.
OK, just to be clear, I care way more
about our friendship than a boy.
But I just need you
to be honest with me. Um
Do you like him?
Like Dex?
You mean like, like-like?
It's not a crazy question.
It is if you know my mom and GG.
They would probably kill him
if he made any moves,
which he wouldn't,
because he definitely does not
think of me that way.
OK, but I'm asking what you feel?
He's barely even my friend.
He's nice, but not my type.
- Hey!
- Hmm?
You two better hustle and tack up,
or Major Lou's gonna blow a gasket.
Let's go!
OK.
Is it weird that I'm nervous
doing this without Grandpa?

- (LOU) Oh my gosh, Amy!
- He did good!

And I think he may have changed
his mind about marriage too.
What?! Amy, that's amazing!
Yeah. No, it's great. We're great.
It was it was all,
yeah, it's it's great.

(HOOFBEATS)
No sign of them.
Well, maybe we check
the dugout to the west.
They might have headed
there for better grass.
Yeah. Amy and I are going to ride on.
Are you three good to keep
the herd from spreading out?
Yeah. Yeah, we're fine. We got this.
OK. Let your horses graze
if you need to,
but just stay sharp if the cows
start to get restless.
It's OK, Mom. We can handle it.
All right. Be careful.
Ben told me he had
no idea where you were.
So I had a choice:
I either let it lie
or I hire a professional.
Well, being Lisa Stillman,
you couldn't do the former.
Ben's better off without me.
You know that's not true.
You would have made
a much better mother.
You're so full of
patience, so perfect.
I am far from perfect, Tammy.
I may look a little
country club to you.
I was going to say, you seem
to have forgotten your pearls.
(SIGHS)
I'm in muck boots

all those years ago
when you got divorced,
I really hoped

Aww.
Must have pissed you off
when Ryan and I got
back together, huh?
- I misjudged Ryan.
- Yeah, you did.
I shouldn't have assumed
that he was after your
our money.
I'm sorry.
But cutting me off
was really harsh punishment, Tammy.
Yeah? You want to talk
about punishment?
Do you know that Mom said
she would never speak
to me again if I married him?
Did you know that?
She made good on her promise, too!
And she also told me
that none of you wanted
anything to do with me!
I didn't know that!
She told me you didn't want
anything to do with us.
You sure jumped
at the chance to buy me out.
You knew that buying me
out of Fairfield
would cut the final ties between us.
Tammy, I was doing you a favour.

Well, the horseshoes here

- (AMY CHUCKLES)
- I guess that's true.
Look, it makes sense
that you're scared, Amy.
Everyone worries about
the worst-case scenario,
but you've actually experienced it.
So how do I make myself trust
when I just don't?
Look, I wish I could tell
you that everything is gonna
turn out fine, but we can't
control whether it will or not.
The only thing
you can trust is yourself.
You can handle whatever comes, Amy.
I guess so.
And please stop waiting
for the other shoe to drop
or you're going to miss out
on this wonderful
relationship you have.
Or should I say great relationship?
So great. (LOU LAUGHS)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
That's weird.
I really thought they would be here.
- (LOU SIGHS)
- Me too.
So where the heck are they?
- (HOOFBEATS)
- Hey, Nate?
You have a visitor, and he's
pretty eager to see you.
Rowdy?
Rowdy!
(JACK LAUGHS)
Hey there, young fella.
(NATHAN SENIOR LAUGHS)
I thought I lost you!
Oh, you're a good boy.
You're a good boy. Yes, you are.
I missed you. Yes, I did.
Maybe we should take
Rowdy back outside now.
Yeah, good idea.
Hey, Nate, why don't we take
Rowdy out to the garden?
It might be a bit more comfortable.
- OK!
- What's going on?
What on earth?!
(TENSE MUSIC)
(MOOING)
(SOFT SNARLING)
So, what'll it be?
Uh, truth.
What's a secret
you've never told anyone?
And I mean anyone.
I once shoplifted.
What?!
Wow. We've got
a criminal in our ranks.
OK, in my defence,
I was eight, it was a My Little Pony,
and I felt so guilty that
I buried it in the backyard.
(RIVER AND DEX LAUGH)
(CROW CAWING)
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
One time, I was having
a barbeque with my ranch hands.
He escapes his pen to join the party.
Went straight for the beer cooler.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Does he prefer bottles or cans?
I don't think it was for the beer
as much it was for the melted ice.
Guess he likes his water chilled,
don't you, Rowdy?
There is horse manure in the hallway.
Yeah, I'm real sorry about that.
I'll clean it up like
it never happened.
Say, uh
Seems plenty of these folks here,
they're they're
ranchers and riders.
I think they probably miss
their horses
just like Nate does.
Well
you certainly got
Mr. Pryce out of his slump,
even if it was not executed
in a way that
management would approve.
Duly noted.
(SIGHS) Mr. Pryce,
you think Rowdy might like
to come visit us again sometime?
- Outside?
- (LAUGHING)
Rowdy loves a good party!
- (LAUGHING)
- Hey!
(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC)
Oh, hello. Hi. Uh
Is this Tammy's phone? I
Yes, I'm her sister.
Is she OK?
Mm!
All right, Dexie. Truth or dare?
Truth.
Truth again. What a surprise.
What's a relationship
red flag for you?
Someone who steals.
Shut up! No, I get a do-over.
Um, OK. What would you choose?
Love or money?
Hmm. I'd choose love.
And just hope she's rich?
Same question,
right back at you, River.
Hey, so I just don't exist anymore?
Well, you were bored with truth, so
I choose dare.
OK. Um
I dare you to go
dunk yourself in the river.
Head to tail.
Clever. Nice way to get rid of me.
Hey, you chose dare.
No, you don't have to do that, Katie.
You two better do dare after this.
No way she'll go through with this.
(MOOING)
- (AMY GASPS)
- Lou look.
- (CROWS CAWING)
- (TENSE MUSIC)
(LOU SIGHS) Come on.
Oh, my God.
Definitely one of our missing heifers.
Still fresh.
Lou, see that?
The wolf's back.
I had hoped Gracie had scared it away.
Amy, the kids.
- Come on.
- Come on.

(MOOING)
(SOFTLY) Guys! Guys!
- Get to your horses, slowly.
- What is it?
There's a wolf right behind me.
Go!
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(WOLF SNARLS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(MOOING)
(SNARLS)

- (NEIGHS)
- Ah! Oof!
- RIVER!
- (MOOING)
- (RIVER GASPS)
- (MOOING)
(RIVER WHIMPERS SOFTLY)
- What happened?
- We saw the wolf.
- It scared the cattle.
- And Flynn.
- Did it attack?
- No.
I think it was just warning
us off its territory.
It ran off when the herd spooked.
You might need stitches.
You should be able to ride.
We gotta gather the herd
and get them out of here.
Uh, should one of us take River home?
- Uh
- I can ride back with her
while the rest of you move the cows.
Are you OK going with Dex
or or Katie if you prefer?
I'll go with Dex.
Great, yeah. Um
I should stay and help
move the herd anyway.
I'm the better rider.
(RIVER GASPS)
I got you.
Thanks.
- (WOLF HOWLING)
- (LOU SIGHS)
- I'll be right back.
- Lou!
I'm not going home with
that wolf still in the prowl.
(LOU CLUCKS)
(UNEASY MUSIC)
(WOLF HOWLING)
(GUN CLICKING)
(LOUDLY) I don't want
to hurt you, my friend,
but you gotta give up
your taste for cattle.
- Ho.
- (SNARLING)
(SNARLING)
(TENSE MUSIC)
(THREE GUNSHOTS)
(SHOUTS) And don't come back,
or next time I won't
point my rifle in the air!
(PANTING)
(SLURRING) Hey, I said
I'm done when I say I'm done.
You don't give me
that attitude dude.
- Hey, sis.
- Oh.
Look what the cat dragged in.
- Um
- Maybe you can get
this bartender here to help me out.
Give me a whisky, at least, or a beer.
- Maybe.
- Why don't we go to my place?
More comfortable. And you know what?
- I have great wine.
- I'm sure you do.
(MAN SCOFFS)
I don't think your sis
needs any more to drink.
I don't think I asked
for your opinion.
Yeah, you tell him, sis!
(TAMMY BLOWS A RASPBERRY)
- Hi.
- Hi.
This is nice.
It's really nice.
See, all I ever wanted was
for you to fight for me, so
- Where's the car?
- Oh, honey.
- I'm OK.
- This way. This way.
- Oh.
- Come on.
(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC)
I just cannot believe that we've lost
half a lifetime together
because of what?
Some terrible miscommunication
and our mother!
Families are complicated.
No!
I mean, I've just been
a terrible sister.
Well, you went back
to help her, though, didn't you?
Well, today, I mean, but
Well I guess we'll just see
how she feels about me
tomorrow morning.
- (JACK CHUCKLES)
- (LISA SIGHS HEAVILY)
Hey I'm proud of you.
Proud of you
for putting your fears aside
and going in and helping Nate.
I didn't do anything
I wouldn't want someone to do for me.
Good to know.
(JACK LAUGHS)
Bring a horse. (LISA LAUGHS)
(LISA SNIFFLES AND SIGHS)
Now, why aren't they
heading for the barn?
Jack! Jack!
(MOOING)
(LIGHT MUSIC)
Hey, did Dex and River
make it back OK?
Oh, yeah, they're fine.
Lisa's gettin' River sorted.
- This isn't all of them.
- We're missing 20 head.
We found one killed by a wolf.
Lou scared it off, but
A wolf wouldn't have taken down 20.
Did you check the flats?
That's where they go
to grass midsummer.
I forgot the flats, but
we checked one of the dugouts.
We just didn't have time for more.
I really botched this drive, Grandpa.
Don't go beating yourself up, Lou.
You did what you could.
Most importantly,
all your party are safe.
We'll find
the missing cattle tomorrow.

Oh! Morning.
- Morning.
- (LISA CHUCKLES)
Perfect timing to meet Jack.
So you must be
the long-lost sister.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Oh, you too. You too.
Uh, sorry for crashing
in your loft last night.
Not at all! Heartland has
enjoyed the company
of many a fine crasher over the years.
You won't be the last.
(LISA) It's true. (LISA LAUGHS)
Um, coffee to go?
Oh, getting rid of me that fast, huh?
No, no! Sorry, sorry.
To go on a ride, if you're up for it.
I would love that.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- OK.
- Yeah.
Hmm.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(LISA CHUCKLES)
(TAMMY SIGHS)
How about here? See?
Hope you won't judge me
too much for last night.
I, uh
seeing you out of the blue
kind of brought up a lot.
Yep. For me, too.
You know, um
I did write you a very long letter
when I saw Ryan's obituary.
And I was so sad
that you had lost him.
- (LISA SIGHS)
- Coming up on four years now.
(TAMMY SIGHS)
Wow.
Um, you never did send it,
did you? The letter?
I think I decided
that you probably wouldn't
read it anyway.
Well, ahem, I can't throw stones. I
I got as far as dialing your number
when I saw that Dan had passed.
- What?
- Whoa!
(COUGHING) No, it's it's good.
- Wow.
- Oh, my goodness.
Boy, he made that strong!
- He put some painful stuff.
- Goodness, Jack!
- Woo!
- He made that so strong! Ugh!
- Sorry!
- It's OK.
(LAUGHS)
You know, it's funny. I
He's not who I thought
you'd end up with.
I think it took me decades
to realize what you always knew.
What's that?
Trying to live up to other
people's expectations will
only end in things like divorce.
And you always followed your heart.
Yeah.
But, uh, too much heart
can be messy, too, as we know.
But I think it's
the example that you set.
That is the main reason
I'm with Jack now.
Wow.
I shouldn't
I shouldn't have taken
Mom's word at face value.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Tam,
I should have fought for you.
I could have tried harder, too.
Hey
I, um
I own a three-year-old
that's set to race
in Regina next week.
I mean, a bit of a long
drive for you, but
No. Are you kidding?
I would love to share
that moment with you.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
- Road trip?
- Road trip!
- (BOTH LAUGHING)
- (LISA KISSES)
Yeah! Oh.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(KATIE SIGHS)
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
- Hey.
- Hey.
You went to bed early last night.
I didn't get to check in on you.
(SIGHS) It was quite the day.
It was.
But I couldn't have managed
without you, you know.
And I was so proud
of how calm and brave you were.
And how well you took care
of your friends.
Hey.
Hey, Katie, what's wrong?
Oh. Oh!
(KATIE CRIES) Oh, honey.
(SIGHS AND KISSES) It's OK.
(LOU SIGHS)
(SIGHS)
(PHONE LINE TRILLING)
(NATHAN JR.) Hey, there you are.
Hey, stranger.
I was worried a better
cowboy rode into town and
stole my place.
What could be better than you?
Oh, I don't know.
Bigger ranch, better cook,
truck built after '92.
(LAUGHS)
- (AMY SIGHS)
- You OK?
I'm better now.
- I've really missed you.
- I've missed you, too.
So get your butt back here, OK?
Hey, Nathan!
Jack, good timing!
Thanks for visiting my dad.
He told me a pretty crazy story.
He did?
Uh, it seemed pretty casual.
Eh, something about you
bringing Rowdy into his room.
- What? You did what?
- Yeah, well,
Lou's waiting for us.
I gotta get going.
Grandpa!
(LAUGHING)
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
Well, now I'm stumped.
The stragglers usually
make their way here.
I think they were here.
- Look.
- The tracks look pretty fresh.
And they just end.
Right where these tire tracks begin.
(AMY) Those are deep.
They were carrying a heavy load.
Like 20 yearlings?
We got a problem bigger than a wolf.
Yeah.
Rustlers.
