Heartland (CA) s19e09 Episode Script

1
Previously on Heartland.
(JACK) That's Gracie Pryce?
She used to spend time
at the ranch with your mom.
You did well, you know,
you capitalized
on her fame and what she built.
At the end of last season,
I got run by a guy.
Put my head into the post.
Hit me so hard, it messed up my eye.
(AMY) By my count,
we're missing at least 20 head.
I don't want to see
Jack's face when we show up
- without them.
- It's not going to happen.
I'm not leaving one cow behind.
Are you OK going with Dex
or Katie if you prefer?
I'll go with Dex.
(AMY) Tracks look pretty fresh.
(LOU) We got a bigger
problem than a wolf.
Yeah.
Rustlers.
("KID" BY THE REVIVALISTS)
I walked downtown
to get my fortune read ♪
She took one look
and this is what she said ♪
Hey, kid ♪
Hey, get in here. That's dangerous.
I just love the smell
of the country air.
It smells like home.
I can't wait to see
the looks on their faces
when they see who I brought with me.
I'm just living for the spirit now ♪
(MOOING)
- (AMY) What did the police say?
- (LOU) They don't have
enough officers
to stake out every field.
So it's basically up to us.
No, this is grand theft.
Those rustlers are dangerous.
Then what are we supposed to do?
Just let them go about their business
until we're out of business?
Of course not.
Look, we can start by
setting up some cameras.
Oh, great. Yeah, the raccoons.
They'll have a field day
like that time
I put one up on the barn.
That was so cute.
I'm going to lie down.
(NATHAN AND AMY LAUGHING)
- Hey, cowboy!
- Hi!
(BOTH LAUGH)
Sorry it's just a flyby.
But last competition of the season,
and I'm only a couple hours away.
I thought you were travelling
with your buddy from Salt Spring.
Yeah, I gotta meet
Tanner at my place in 10.
So then why did you
trailer Montana over here?
Uh
it's actually Bigby in there.
- Who?
- Gracie's new ranch horse.
OK.
He's really head shy
and won't let anyone
near him with a halter or bridle.
And there's one more thing
you should know about Bigby.
Gracie doesn't know
that I brought him over.
- Nathan!
- She tried working on him
and just didn't have any luck,
and she's too proud
- to accept your help, so.
- Well, she's going to notice
- that he's not there.
- No.
I told her that I knew a rancher
who could put some miles on him,
so I'm not technically lying.
Fine.
But this better not
blow up in my face.
You're the best.
So our herd got hit
by cattle rustlers,
and you should probably check yours.
Seriously?
Oh, OK. Yeah.
I'll get Gracie
to look into it tonight.
(LIGHT MUSIC)
Peter's back.
Who's that with him?
(AMY CHUCKLES)
Guess who's back?
- Dad!
- Oh, hello there!
- Hey.
- (PETER AND AMY LAUGH)
- Welcome home, honey.
- Hey.
So, I've got a surprise for you guys.
- (FRONT DOOR SHUTS)
- (LOU GASPS)
Georgie! Hi! Oh, my gosh!
- What are you doing here?
- (GEORGIE AND AMY LAUGH)
I entered the Springview Grand Prix
- here next weekend.
- Oh, fun!
- Is Quinn here too?
- Wait a minute.
Did you come with a surprise?
Let me see your ring finger.
No, he didn't come.
Actually, we broke up.
Oh
("DREAMER" BY JENN GRANT)
And at the break of day ♪
You sank into ♪
Your dream ♪
You dreamer ♪
You dreamer ♪
You dreamer ♪
So you're you're doing good?
I mean, of course, not great
under the circumstances.
Mom, you don't need
to tiptoe around my breakup.
It was my decision
and I don't regret it.
- I know, but I
- No buts.
I'm happy.
And I'm stoked you had a spot
for me at the dude ranch.
And we're just happy
that you're here and you're OK.
Hmm. I am.
Actually
not so much in the jumping ring.
Phoenix and I have been
totally off our game.
Amy, maybe you could
work with us tomorrow
after Phoenix gets out
of his travel quarantine
and you're done working
with your boyfriend's horse?
- (JACK) So you met Nathan?
- Yeah, briefly.
He seems great.
Doesn't Nathan need Montana
for the competition?
It's actually Bigby
which is Gracie's new horse.
What?!
It's kind of a secret.
Nathan doesn't really want
Gracie to know.
I'm surprised you would do
any favour for Gracie Pryce,
- secret or not.
- (PETER SIGHS)
Lou, I thought you were going to leave
the Pryce family drama
alone tonight, right?
Let's concentrate on the good stuff!
The family's all here together, huh?
Right? Let's make the most of it.
- Thanks, Peter.
- Mmhmm!
(ALL) Cheers.
- Cheers, Dad.
- Welcome home, baby.
(INSECTS CHIRRING)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(SOFT MUSIC)
(WHOOSH)
(HOOFBEATS)
Get up.
(SOFT SNORTING)
- (NEIGHING)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hey!
(SOFT SNORTING)
(WHOOSH)
- Hi.
- (VEHICLE DOOR SHUTS)
I'm a friend of Dex Cashman's?
- I'm told he lives here now.
- He does,
but you just missed him.
He went to the rodeo grounds.
- Any idea when he'll be back?
- Um
no, he didn't say. You should
probably just text him.
Yeah, it's actually been
a while, so I'd much rather
meet face to face.
Thank you.
(UNEASY MUSIC)
(INDISTINCT DISTANT SPEAKING)
What are you doing here?
I thought we were training.
No, we are! Dexy just wanted
to squeeze in a coffee first.
Or, sorry, a hot chocolate with
whipped cream and sprinkles.
- Hey, I don't do sprinkles.
- Aww.
Because I'm so sweet,
you don't need 'em?
- Can we just get to work?
- Yeah.
- Yoo-hoo! Hi.
- (VEHICLE DOOR SHUTS)
Hey, Dex.
Shim?
- What are you doing here?
- I was hoping we could talk.
You have time for a coffee?
I have practice.
- Oh, so you're still
- No, I ride bulls now.
Oh, wow.
All right, maybe later then?
I don't think so.
Come on, man. It's been a while.
Not gonna happen, Shim.
(SIGHS)
OK, I'm sorry.
We'll, um, we'll practise later, OK?
- Uh
- (KATIE SIGHS)
- Seriously
- (RIVER, DISTANT) You OK?
(LOU) You think it's hidden enough?
- Yeah, I think so.
- OK.
So I'm going to sync
the cameras to my phone.
I'm not clueless about this stuff.
You can sync it to my phone, too.
No, no, no, no, no,
because you will skip
the police and rush out here
to confront them yourself.
Hmph.
(PETER) Ah! You're so fit!
Well, I am an Olympic hopeful.
Or at least I used to be.
You'll get your groove back.
(GEORGIE SIGHS)
(PETER SIGHS)
Hey, listen, I wanted
to say thank you for
letting us know
that we don't have to tiptoe
around your breakup.
I appreciate that.
And I also wanted to throw
it back at you and say,
you know, I hope you're not
keeping your feelings
inside the trauma vault.
The trauma vault?
I heard it on a relationship podcast.
It's pretty great, actually.
I just know
that breakups can be hard, and
Dad, I told you I'm fine.
We were growing apart for years.
I'm honestly just looking
forward to the next chapter.
Right. Ah, see, that's the,
uh, flip the script phase.
That's what, uh, what we call that.
I just, I don't want
you to be, you know,
repressing your feelings,
and I want you to know
OK, stop with the weird buzzwords.
Maybe you need your own podcast,
Mr. Relationship Advice.
OK, yeah, maybe I will get it.
And I'll call it
Doctor Relationship Advice
because it sounds better.
You know, there actually might be
something you could
help me with, Doctor.
Really? 'cause OK.
My dad is driving me nuts.
How do I get him off my case?
Wow. I can't believe
I walked right into that.
(GEORGIE LAUGHS)
- See you.
- Bye.
(ENGINE HUMS)
(TENSE MUSIC)
(PHONE LINE TRILLING)
(RECORDING) Your call
has been forwarded
to an automatic voice message system.
- (BEEP)
- Hey, Quinn.
Just trying you again.
If you could please just call me back.
Thanks.
(VEHICLE APPROACHING)
Hey, Amy. Your sister around?
Um, I think she's out in the fields
installing security cameras.
Nathan told me about
your herd. They hit us too.
I'll call Lou for advice
on the surveillance system.
- Is that Bigby?
- Please don't be mad.
- Nathan asked me to look at him.
- (GRACIE SCOFFS)
- He went behind my back?
- I'm sorry.
This is between you and Nathan.
Except my horse is in your pen!
Yeah, I need to look after my herd.
I'll be back tomorrow.
I've been making
really good progress with him.
- It would be a shame to quit now.
- I didn't say I was quitting.
We'll work with them together.
OK.
(VEHICLE DOOR SHUTS)
I've set up motion detectors,
so I'll get pinged
anytime anyone goes
near the access gates.
And I told Gracie to do
the same thing over there.
Oh, I'm proud of you, Lou.
Putting aside everything
to be neighbourly.
- It's good.
- Well
you know, anything
to catch these rustlers.
I'd still rather camp out
and nail them in the act.
No, this is safer and more effective.
I totally get
why you're frustrated, Katie.
If you want, I could
help you out tomorrow.
- Really? That would be great.
- Yeah.
Wait, what? Help?
Dad's here. I can help.
- What's going on?
- It's a horse thing.
Yeah, not your department,
Dr. Relationship Advice.
- OK.
- What?
Nothing.
I just, I need to get my turns tighter
for my do-si-do routine with River.
Why isn't she doing it with you?
She keeps skipping practice
to hang out with Dex.
- She did it again today.
- (JACK) Oh, yeah?
We were supposed to have
a practice session today,
but apparently his car crapped out.
Sounds like I need to have
a little chat with him.
- Whoops.
- If you go to the field,
I'll see you, so don't you dare
(DOOR SHUTS)
OK.
Hey, gang.
Family cookout,
dude ranch, tomorrow night.
- (GEORGIE AND KATIE) Yeah.
- No excuses.
- That sounds fun!
- Who's in?
- Sure, Dad.
- Great.
- Awesome.
- Mm, we should do s'mores.
- Sure.
- Salted chocolate s'mores?
Yes! So good!
OK, wait, wait, wait.
The question is, though,
milk chocolate or dark chocolate?
- (KATIE) Milk.
- (GEORGIE) Dark.
- Excuse me?
- For s'mores?! OK, but
(INSECTS CHIRRING)
(HORSE NEIGHS SOFTLY)
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES)
(DEX GRUNTING)
- (JACK) Hey.
- (DEX GRUNTS)
Whoa! Hey!
You trying to make up
for missing practice
to hang out with your girlfriend?
Katie ratted me out?
I just came to remind you
it was you that came to me
about this training stuff.
- I know. I know. I just
- If you're not serious,
don't waste my time.
I am serious, Jack!
Look, this guy that I used
to play hockey with
showed up out of the blue.
So you go day drinking again?
No!
I went to the driving range
to get my mind off Shim.
Shim?
The goon who ran
my face into the post,
ruined my hockey career.
- So what did he want?
- I didn't care.
Well, maybe he came to apologize.
Too bad. If he wanted
to be let off the hook,
he came to the wrong guy.
(BLENDER WHIRRING)
(UNEASY MUSIC)
(MOOING)
(GATE CREAKING)
Put your boots on, Grandpa.
We gotta go.
You get a ding on your phone?
No, the cameras went offline
in the middle of the night.
We gotta go check on
the herd now. Come on.
Cameras!
Hup! Get up there.
(REPETITIVE WHISTLING)
They got 10 more.
Well, I guess your cameras
aren't the answer after all.
They popped the batteries out!
They must have come up from behind.
I don't know how they
figured out where they were.
We're probably not
the first ranchers to think
of a surveillance system.
But if I'd have been waiting here
No, for the hundredth time!
Then what, Lou?!
We replace the batteries,
and we repositioned the cameras
in opposite directions
so we can see them
no matter where they come from.
So we want to double down on a system
that already failed us.
Not helpful, Grandpa!
I'm trying my best.
All right.
All right, let's move the cameras.
Yeah.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
Thanks for the tips
for installing our cameras.
I'm not sure we're the example
you want to follow.
What happened?
They cut our camera feed.
Took 10 more.
Oh, no. I'm so sorry.
Looks like our cameras
are still up and running.
No alerts.
It's all so stressful.
Talk about stressful!
First I had to deal with
someone trying to poach Miley from me,
and then getting my daughter to
rep their brand, and now this.
Let's just separate business
from protecting our ranches.
When it comes to rustlers,
we're in the same boat.
You're right. But I'm still
going to watch my back.
Wouldn't want to get tossed overboard.
(LOU CLUCKS)
(BRIGHT MUSIC)
(NEIGHING)
Yes, Katie!
Nice job!
I think my idea is working.
Thanks. Yeah, the barrels
are definitely forcing us
- to take tighter turns.
- Yeah.
Well, that should translate
well to the do-si-do.
Yeah, if my partner ever gets here.
- Here.
- Thanks.
(PHONE BEEPS)
Seriously? River cancelled. Again.
Said she needs to be there for Dex.
Really? Because of that guy
that showed up?
I don't know. She's being cagey.
Hmm Well, we're here.
Might as well use the practice time.
You need two to do the do-si-do.
I know! Let's sister up.
I can borrow one
of the rodeo school horses.
(AMY) See? Doesn't hurt, does it?
There's nothing to be afraid of.
You sure do remind me of Marion.
She used to mentor me.
I was a an aspiring horse
trainer back in my teens.
Really?
What made you give it up?
It wasn't my path.
I didn't have Marion's magic touch.
Hey, would you mind if I try
putting on the halter?
Um, well, I've been
the one working with him,
so maybe I should try
for the first time.
Maybe, but it's my horse,
and I'm going to have
to do it at some point, so.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
(AMY SIGHS) OK, Bigby. Come on.
- (BIGBY NEIGHS)
- (GRACIE GRUNTS)
Damn it!
- What'd I do wrong this time?
- Well, I think maybe
we just pushed things a little fast.
Let's give him a break.
OK, a break.
Yeah, I I'm I'm going to
go check on my my herd.
- I'll be back later.
- (GATE CLANKS)
(ADVENTUROUS MUSIC)
Now!
That was pretty good, right?
Not bad at all.
You want to be
my new do-si-do partner?
You and River will get back
on the same page eventually.
Yeah, if she ever
makes it to practice.
You seem pretty annoyed with her.
You sure there's not
anything else going on,
like maybe that guy
who lives in the loft?
I am not jealous that they're dating.
- (GEORGIE LAUGHS)
- I never said that.
- It was implied.
- (GEORGIE GIGGLES)
River is cool and fun
and way too good for him.
I just hate seeing her waste her time
with a loose cannon like Dex.
Well, if she's as good
a friend as you say she is,
you might want to give her a heads up.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
- Guess who's back?
- (AMY LAUGHS)
- Hey!
- Hey.
I'm back for good this time.
And I even brought home
some new hardware.
- You won?
- I did!
- Nice work!
- Thanks.
Felt good to end on a win.
What are you gals up to?
Well, you got me in trouble, mister.
Gracie found out about Bigby.
Oh, no. She's gonna kill me.
- Uh, Bigby's still here, though.
- Oh, yeah.
She allowed me to keep
working with him
as long as she could help.
- Oh? How's that going?
- It's great.
Did you know that she wanted
to be a horse trainer?
Uh, vaguely.
Like, when I was a little kid.
Yeah, well, apparently
my mom mentored her.
- Seriously?
- Yeah, we were just going
through my mom's old journals to see
if she wrote anything about Gracie.
Oh, yeah? Why?
It's an interesting
connection, don't you think?
Yeah, I guess so.
You want to come to dinner?
I'd love to, but
I gotta go for dinner
with Tanner before
he heads home tomorrow.
Get this.
He wants to sell me his ranch
on Salt Spring Island.
- An island?
- Mmhmm.
- You should buy it.
- (NATHAN LAUGHS)
I think I'd rather take you to Hawaii
on a vacation or something.
It's warmer there.
Plus, I already have a ranch.
(DEX, DISTANT) I told you,
I don't want to hear it!
(SHIM, DISTANT) OK, but just
give me a chance!
Just get out of here, Shim!
Come on, man.
You don't have to be like this.
How did you think this would go?
Look, I'm just trying
to own up for what I did.
- It's too late.
- I'm trying to say
that I am sorry!
What can't you understand?
It was a dirty hit,
and I can't play hockey anymore.
It was your fault,
and I have to live with it,
so you should, too!
Look, I'm trying to
make it up to you, man.
- (SHIM GRUNTS)
- (JACK) DEX!
(TENSE MUSIC)
(PANTING)
Take her inside!
Yeah. Come on.
- You step back, son.
- It's OK.
I deserved that. It's all good.
No, it is not.
You need to leave.
(TENSE MUSIC)
What the hell was that?!
It's like he said, he had it coming!
Not here, he didn't.
Not on my property!
- He brought this to me!
- Enough!
After all the crap I've been
through with you and now this
we're done here.
- What, like I'm fired again?
- What do you think?
I want you gone in the morning.
(NATHAN) You know, lately,
I've seen some crazy videos
of dogs riding horses.
- Really?
- Yeah, yeah.
Maybe that could be
Molly's next trick.
(LYNDY CHUCKLES)
OK, I, uh, I gotta go
let Tanner down easy
about his island ranch.
- OK.
- Mind if I stop by later?
- Of course not.
- OK.
- See you.
- See you, kid.
Now, are you OK?
Yeah. Can I see more
of Grandma's drawings?
Yeah!
Let's see. Maybe
this one should be about the time
that Gracie was a teenager.
Look at this drawing. (AMY CHUCKLES)
Hey Grandma really did
know Nathan's sister.
(AMY CHUCKLES)
What's it say?
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
- Yeah
- Katie, wait!
- We already finished.
- I'm so sorry. I
I'll load Dodger.
Look, I get it. You're upset with me.
But this Shim guy has really
gotten into Dex's head, OK?
He's the one that messed up his eye.
OK? and Dex just texted me
that Shim went to Heartland, and he
he punched him out.
OK? And now, Jack is turfing him.
- Can you please just
- No!
No, I'm not going to bat for Dex.
Why not?
River, you're a really
great friend, and I would do
anything for you
but Dex is bad news.
This is probably for the best,
especially for you.
So this is you looking out for me?
Yeah. I know it's hard to hear
Yeah, you're being
super judgy, just like you were
with me and the Wilds
before you got to know us.
No, I'm just trying to warn you.
No, I know who Dex is!
OK? He is a great guy.
And if you were really my friend,
you would be happy for me.
(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)
Hi.
I'm ready to try again.
Did you ever have any training
incidents with Bigby?
Incidents?
Just something that may have
caused him to be the way he is?
What are you saying, Amy?
Some horses become head shy
because their owners are
a bit rough with them.
Wow.
Just going there out of the blue?
Well, my mom, she kept journals,
and she wrote something
in there about you.
Appropriately sanctimonious, I'm sure.
You seriously crossed a line.
I made one mistake.
You whipped a horse
because it wouldn't respond
to your cues?!
(SCOFFS)
Did she write about
how she warned everyone off me?
Ruined any chance I had
of being a trainer?
Did she write that?
(TENSE MUSIC)
(SCOFFS)
(GATE CLANKS)
(NATHAN) Wow, Tanner,
that really is breathtaking.
I told you. (NATHAN CHUCKLES)
Well, you certainly won't have
a problem finding a buyer.
It just, uh, it just won't be me.
I'm pretty happy with
what I'm building here.
Hey, you've done a great job
with your family business.
Thanks.
But I'm also talking about Amy.
That tracks.
You couldn't stop talking
about her on the drive.
(NATHAN CHUCKLES)
Well, what can I say?
She's pretty great.
- Sounds like it.
- Yeah.
You know, my wife,
she's a horse whisperer, too.
Oh.
I don't think Amy would
call herself that.
But that would be the toughest
part about the move,
pulling her away from her horses.
She runs a rehab centre.
Well, that's that's cool.
Hey Amy,
she could take it over,
it would be perfect
for the both of you.
(NATHAN LAUGHS)
What do you think?
I think you should have been in sales.
Hey, come on, let's go.
What are you doing?
I wanna get to the dude ranch
for the family cookout.
I am so sorry. I completely forgot.
Can I just meet you guys there later?
Uh, OK.
You're gonna let
Georgie's visit just slip by,
and you're gonna regret it.
We lost another 10 cows, OK?
So Garland and Crown Shoppers
are gonna be breathing
down my neck
if I can't figure out how to
stay on some kind
of delivery schedule.
I get how hard this is.
And I'm sorry. OK? Um
- How can I help?
- Don't make me feel guilty!
You think this is what
I want to be doing?
(LOU SIGHS) I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't
have snapped at you.
- It's OK.
- I am not myself.
You go, have fun with the girls.
Once I, um, finish this, I'll
- I'll be more present.
- OK.
- Take your time.
- OK.
All right.
(FRONT DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS)
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
Whoa.
I'm back for my horse.
I know you're upset,
but you should know
that my mom wouldn't have
said anything to anyone.
Not even my grandpa knew, which
proves she kept it to herself.
Yeah, well, I didn't
stick around to find out
one way or the other.
My mom regretted
how things were left off.
She
She felt like she failed you.
I was young.
I was a kid.
I let her down, OK?
I swear it never happened again,
and not with Bigby.
I'm really trying to do
everything right.
Maybe you're trying too hard.
Bigby's picking up
on your frustration.
Will you let me try one more thing?
OK.
(NEIGHING)
Hey
Mom's going to make up
for missing this, you know?
(KATIE) Oh, uh, it it's not that.
I got in a really big fight
with my friend River today.
Oh, no. Why? What happened?
I may have given some bad advice.
No, you were right.
I had to tell her
my concerns about Dex.
But I might have had
some selfish reasons as well.
Like maybe I am jealous
that Dex is taking River away from me.
But I really offended her, and
now I might have lost a friend.
(GEORGIE SNIFFLES) Hey.
Hey, I told you, it's not your fault.
- (GEORGIE SIGHS)
- No, it's not. Um
It's not that.
Dad, you were right.
The breakup with Quinn's
been really rough.
I just feel so guilty.
I knew it was petering out,
and I didn't say anything.
Like, not for a while.
He was so blindsided.
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
He's just so mad at me.
And I didn't want it
to end like this.
I wanted to stay
in each other's lives.
But
it just feels like
I lost my best friend.
Come here. Come here.
- Hey, hey, hey.
- (GEORGIE SNIFFLES)
(GEORGIE SIGHS)
(GEORGIE SIGHS)
All right. You want to try?
Do small circles.
- Gentle.
- (BIGBY NEIGHS)
- (NEIGHS SOFTLY)
- There you go.
- Nice and gentle.
- (BIGBY SNORTS)
OK, now work your hands up his neck.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
- I want you to press.
- (BIGBY SNORTS SOFTLY)
- Press?
- Just trust me.
OK.
Press hard. Down.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
There you go. (GRACIE CHUCKLES)
He'll push away from the pressure.
That's it.
(GRACIE LAUGHS)
Good boy.
(GRACIE CRIES)
(GRACIE LAUGHS AND KISSES)
You want to try?
Yeah.
- OK.
- That's good.
- Good boy.

You really are like your mom.
Thank you.

(VEHICLE DOOR SHUTS)
Hold it right there.
- Grandpa? Put that down!
- (JACK SIGHS HEAVILY)
Lou, I'm sorry.
I didn't know it was you.
- What are you doing here?
- Well, what are you doing here?
You're supposed to be at a cookout!
Oh, so you thought
you could sneak out here
and wait for the rustlers!
Classic grandpa.
Well, I'm not the only one here!
I was trying to figure out
a new delivery plan.
And we can't afford to lose any more,
so I just came to check on them.
Peter and Georgie are here!
You should be focusing on your family!
Argh! Everything I do is
for my family, Grandpa!
Everything!
We need to figure out
a way out of this.
And to you, that means standing
in a field with your rifle.
But to me, that means
figuring out how to deal
with everything we've lost
without going bankrupt!
So I'm sorry if I can't
be there for my family
while simultaneously
doing everything
I need to do to protect them!
(LOU SIGHS)
Oh.
We have a lot in common, you and I.
(PETER) Well, Georgie, um,
thank you for opening up.
Please, no more
Dr. Relationship Advice.
OK, how about some just good
old-fashioned dad advice?
No psycho babble buzzwords?
Oh, my gosh! No.
I promise.
I think that Quinn has just lost
something really special,
and he's upset about it.
Relationships are complicated.
Breakups are messy.
Yeah, apparently.
Well, you didn't do anything wrong.
And he might just need
some time to realize that.
He won't even return my calls.
You sound exactly like your mother.
- What?
- No, I mean that
in the best possible way.
Like, you just want to fix everything
and just move forward,
which is which is great.
But it sounds like he's
in a different place right now,
and he may need some space.
And you should
probably give it to him.
Your best friend is hurting.
OK, that was pretty good.
My turn.
How do I get my best friend back?
Oh, you want
Wow, the doctor's in demand here.
- OK
- No, I'm just saying.
No, no, no. OK, OK. I'll dial it back.
I just
Honestly, I think the advice
I'm gonna give you,
you may not like.
Um
If you want to win River back,
you're probably going
to have to do something
you don't want to do.
I'll do anything. What is it?
Give Dex a chance.
(INSECTS CHIRRING)
Sounds like you and my sis
made friends today.
- (AMY CHUCKLES)
- I wouldn't go that far.
Hmm.
But she did surprise me.
I didn't expect tears.
Hmm. Yeah, that kind
of shocks me, too.
So, how is Tanner?
Oh, well, you'll be happy to learn
that, uh he didn't sway me
with his Salt Spring Island pitch.
Although they do have
a rescue horse centre, and
so it would have been
pretty good for you, too.
You would want me to come with you?
Well, we know that Lyndy is
all about the island life, so
Yeah.
- Mommy?
- Yeah?
I can't sleep.
Um OK.
I'll read you one more chapter.
- Thank you.
- OK.
- (AMY SIGHS)
- Hmm.
- I'll let you get her settled.
- OK.
- (KISSES)
- Trail ride in the morning?
I would love that.
Good having you home, cowboy.
It's good to be home.
(LYNDY) Are you coming?
Yes, I'm coming.
(AMY LAUGHS)
Go on. Get out of here.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
(MOOING)
It's getting pretty cold. (LOU SNIFFS)
We can't just stay out here all night.
Well, I suppose you're right.
I'll see you at home.
OK.
(CLANKING AND CREAKING)
What is that?
My hearing might not be what it was,
but that's a cattle trailer.
Well, where is it coming from?
(CLANKING)
There's a spot
right down this fence line
where you could load
cattle if you had to.
Especially if you were trying
to hide from cameras.
Wait here.
Wait here.
(SIGHS)
(ENGINE IDLING)
Hands where I can see 'em!
Do I know you?
- (THUD)
- (JACK GROANS)
Let's go!
(VEHICLE DOORS SHUT)
(SOFTLY) Grandpa?
Grandpa!
- Oh, my God! Hey!
- (JACK GROANS)
- Grandpa, are you OK?
- Yeah.
I'm OK.
- We've got to follow 'em.
- No, no, no, Grandpa!
They're gone.
- (JACK GROANS)
- Hey, hey, they're gone.
Hey.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Come on.
Folks, I completely understand
how you're feeling.
We take this as seriously as you do.
- Hey.
- Hey. What's going on here?
Oh, the rustlers were back last night.
I got their license plate this time.
Oh, OK. Well, are you
are you able to trace it?
We have the name and address
of the vehicle owner.
So who is it?
You know, I can't share
that information, Jack.
(CELL PHONE RINGS)
I have to take this.
Hey, Lise.
So what's next, Constable?
I'm heading to the suspect's place
- with a search warrant right now.
- Perfect.
(DISPATCHER) Calling
all units, we have a 10-50
on Foothills Pass
at Crow's Nest Junction.
Critical injuries.
Constable Jones, copy. On my way.
Constable, what about the rustlers?
Sorry, emergency,
but I'll get there next.
- ASAP.
- It's just they could get rid
- of the cattle.
- Lou, hey.
- (FRONT DOOR SHUTS)
- What's going on?
The police just got called
to another emergency, and,
uh, now we have to wait for
them to deal with that first.
Yeah, no, we don't.
That was Lisa.
You know the private investigator
she hired to find her sister?
Well turns out
she can run plates, too.
Get this.
It was Wes Kellstrom.
- Wes?
- I knew I recognized that mug.
Who's who's Wes?
Um, he he stole Spartan
and tried to burn down our barn.
- I'm sorry, what?
- It was a long time ago,
but he held quite a grudge against us.
Yeah, well, apparently, he still does.
So the Kellstrom place is
just west of Poplar Bluff.
- (NATHAN) Yeah, I'm coming.
- Wait, no!
No, you guys are not going anywhere!
This guy is a dangerous criminal.
- You're not going!
- Amy's right.
Let's all calm down here
and not do anything crazy.
Wait, wait, wait. They could
still have our cattle.
Yeah, what's more important,
getting your cattle back
or staying alive?
The police are on their way.
Let's let them do their thing, right?
Fine.
I
We still have to get
that fencing back up.
Yeah. Back to work.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Uh, yeah. I should check on my herd.
- Hey, call me, please.
- Yeah, I will.
(FRONT DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS)
- (KNOCKING ON WALL)
- (ROOSTER CROWING)
I can see you're there.
(DEX) You got what you wanted.
What are you talking about?
(DEX SIGHS)
River told me what you said to her.
Did you turn Jack against me, too?
You took care of that.
You got in a fight in front of Lyndy.
The guy wouldn't leave me alone.
What was I supposed to do?
- How about not punching him?
- He ruined my career.
Then, he shows up here
and messes everything up
- for me all over again.
- Listen to yourself, Dex.
You threw all of this away
because you couldn't control yourself.
Shim isn't the villain
in your story. You are.
This isn't a writer's group session.
I can't believe
I came here to apologize.
You are impossible. You know what?
Have a nice life.
Oh, my
(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC)
Hey, Quinn, um, I'm sorry.
You made it pretty clear
that you need space right now,
and I haven't given you that.
I just I don't want
to lose you from my life.
I want to be friends.
But I know you
I know you're not ready for that.
So I'm gonna let you
tell me when you are, and
if that never happens, I
I'll have to live with that.
I love you, and I
I want the best for you.
I'm sorry.
Um
Bye for now.

You've reached Lou Fleming.
Sorry I missed you.
Leave a message. (PHONE BEEPS)
Hey, Lou. Um, where are you?
Are you with Jack?
Because I'm looking at
his rifle case and it's empty.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(WHOOSH)
Well, this is it.
This is Wes Kellstrom's place.
