Heartland (CA) s02e14 Episode Script

Do or Die

Previously on "Heartland" I am entitled to say, Ty Borden, that you have completed your probation period successfully.
Thanks.
Good luck with the rest of your life.
- I'm telling you the truth.
- Yeah.
You and Ashley alone all night just talking.
Yeah.
He's the only guy that really gets me, you know? Getting what he wants is probably closer to the truth.
Amy.
- Don't talk to me, Caleb.
- It's not what it looks like.
Bedford Oil could build a pump right there, and there'd be nothing you could do about it.
Oh, yes, there is.
Hi.
P.
W.
Morris.
You are supposed to be Peter.
You own Bedford Oil.
Yeah.
This can never work.
You stand for things that make my blood boil.
- Keep things interesting, right? - Good-bye.
Okay.
Try it now.
Hey! There you go.
Awesome.
Good as new.
Your dad was right about the condenser.
Well, there's two things my dad knows everything about.
Cows and cars.
Hey, thanks for your help, Amy.
All I did was turn the key.
You know what? We should pimp this baby up, hmm? Spoiler.
Neon lights.
Come on.
- I don't know.
- Supercharge the engine.
Chicks dig the truck the way it is.
Oh, they do, do they? Hey, Ty.
Clint's here.
We should probably go inside.
Who's Clint? - Ty's old pro - Professional wrestler.
A wrestler? Well, he's an old friend from Calgary.
He used to wrestle.
settled into the dude ranch okay last night.
She did, Jack, thanks.
What's this? Well, when you're dealing with kids on probation, it's very important to stick to a schedule.
Now, this weekend in the country, it isn't just about, you know, having fun.
It's about rehabilitation, reintegration.
This is very comprehensive.
Well, yeah.
I didn't want to leave anything to chance.
You know, these kids need structure.
It's all part of what the new probation is all about.
Right.
Well, we will certainly do our best to stick to your schedule.
But do you really think it was a good idea to leave those kids out there all on their own, you know, unsupervised? Don't worry, Lou.
They were fast asleep when I left them.
And besides, they're way out in the middle of nowhere.
What trouble could they possibly get into? Well, the young Ty Borden.
Clint.
Keeping your nose clean? Yeah, I guess.
Amy, why don't you and Ty drive up to the cabins and bring our guests back for breakfast? - Sure.
- Oh, Jack.
According to the itinerary, breakfast isn't served until 8:30 a.
m.
Yeah.
There it is.
I see.
Well, we tend to eat a little earlier around here.
Well, okay.
I suppose a good, healthy breakfast a little earlier in the day could be therapeutic.
So, that was pretty smooth back there.
What was? Oh, just Clint Riley, the wrestler.
Yeah, well, I just haven't got around to telling Kit about the whole probation thing, so - Oh, my God! - Relax.
It's not that big a deal.
No.
Look.
And at the break of day You sank into your dream You dreamer You dreamer You dreamer I checked the cabins.
There's no sign of the kids anywhere.
Well, they couldn't have gotten far.
Not without a horse or Truck.
Hey! Hey! Grandpa, hi.
Howdy, Clint.
We was just heading out to rassle ourselves up some breakfast.
Werert we, Badger? Willful destruction of private property.
It was just a little campfire.
If I was a Boy Scout, they'd give me a badge.
Theft of Ty Borders automobile.
Are you kidding me? Someone actually owns the craptasticmobile.
Tara, I'd like you to apologize to Lou.
Remember that we're guests here.
Apologize for what? Those cabins werert heated.
We almost froze to death out there.
We had two choices build a fire or die a cold, Ionely, miserable, writhing death.
So, we chose fire.
Usually when guests are cold, they build a fire inside the cabin.
You know, in that thing called the fireplace.
Well, we couldn't stay inside.
Your cabins are infested with vermin.
Uh-huh, vermin.
You heard me.
Vermin.
- Tara - I have proof.
Okay? Badger, show them what we found in the cabin.
I grew up on this ranch.
Do you really think I'm afraid of a little bull snake? You're gonna have to do better than that.
'Cause there's only one thing at this table anyone should be scared of, and that is me.
I'll give you a hand with that, Lou.
I will deal with you two when I get back.
It's a pretty nice day out.
Might be one of the last ones left before winter.
Thought maybe you might want to go for a ride.
Don't you have a houseguest you should probably get back to? Look, I know it's weird that Ashley's staying with me, but If you think anything's going on between us, you got this whole thing wrong.
You lied to me, Caleb.
You're right.
I should have told you the truth.
I'm sorry.
I just I don't trust her.
Then, trust me.
Why can't you just ask her to find another place to stay? She's got nowhere else to go.
She just needs a few more days to figure things out.
And until then Yeah, I know.
I'm just gonna have to trust you.
So, what do you say? How 'bout that ride? I can't.
But, well, if you got nothing better to do, you can always help me feed.
You got it.
There werert by any chance any peanuts in those muffins, were there? Oh, no.
We don't serve peanuts to our guests in case of allergies.
[Wheezes.]
Right, right.
I read that in the pamphlet.
I swore I tasted something nutty in that last bite, though.
Trace amounts, they don't bother me.
But I think I'm having a severe reaction.
Oh, my God.
Here, Clint.
That doesn't sound good.
I think you need to drive him to the hospital.
Grandpa's got the truck.
My truck's busted, but I think Caleb's here.
Okay.
I'll go find Caleb.
You stay here with Clint.
And just, you know, make sure he doesn't, you know You have to help those kids, Ty.
If anybody can reach them, it's you.
I think you're talking to the wrong guy.
I don't know anything about kids.
You're the poster boy for the success of this system.
You've turned your life around.
They can do the same.
They just need to know how.
[Wheezes.]
Don't waste your breath, Mother.
I'm not coming home.
Well, that's not why I'm here.
Rosalita made some pumpkin loaf this morning, and I know how much you like it, so Should I put it in the kitchen? There is a kitchen in here, right? You came all the way here to bring me a pumpkin loaf? Look, if you don't want it No, I do.
Tell Rosalita I say gracias.
Okay.
Bye.
Look, I have to go into town on Monday for an appointment.
I was thinking maybe you could come with me.
Why? So I can wait around while you get your roots dyed? No.
I thought maybe You know what? Never mind.
Just enjoy that pumpkin loaf.
Hey, hands off the ceramics.
Amy, we have got to do something about these kids before they burn down the rest of the ranch.
Hey, don't look at me.
I mean, problem horses I can handle.
But problem children? No, that's somebody else's department.
Well, I don't see why we can't pull together and follow Clint's schedule.
Okay, let's see.
There.
You and Ty can handle that.
I think I have a better idea.
That's it.
Make sure your reins are nice and loose.
You want to be the alpha horse, so you have to let him know where you want to go.
If you want to go left, you have to make sure you're looking left.
That's it, Badger.
You're doing great.
Keep going.
Hey.
Use your leg.
That was pretty ugly back there, huh? - What was? - That's good, Badger.
Clint.
- I feel pretty bad for the guy.
- Yeah.
You know, it's funny, though, because Lou doesn't put peanuts in anything.
That is funny.
Like a total medical mystery.
You're starting to look like a real cowboy now.
Who's the captain of the cheer team? You mean Mallory.
Oh, God.
Here she comes.
I'm gonna O.
D.
On perky.
Ready to saddle up? Listen, Rainbow Brite.
I don't do horses, ponies, or unicorns.
This guy does a super-nice trail ride, so You don't have to worry about him spooking or anything, 'cause he's old and deaf.
You're deaf.
Get it away from me.
Looks like Vampira doesn't want to go for a ride.
Yeah, I know his throat is swollen shut, but he still has to call me.
Yes, I'm still here.
What? What do you mean you can't come pick up the kids? Yes, I understand that it's the weekend, but you need to understand that Heartland Equestrian Connection is not a baby-sitting service.
Fine.
Yeah, just make sure he has my cell phone number.
Thank you.
Wow.
These riding lessons are going really, really well.
- Who are those from? - Nobody.
Okay, so, good news is, looks like Clint is gonna be fine.
They just have to wait for the swelling to go down.
That's a relief.
Bad news is, the kids are here overnight.
So, that means Ty is gonna bunk with Badger, and you are gonna bunk with No, I'm not.
Amy, I don't want to hear it, okay? I'm gonna try the hospital again.
Peter.
Hey, you can't smoke here.
What, you got a hearing problem? I said you can't smoke here, Badger.
Put it out.
I said you can't smoke here! If I catch you smoking here again Stop it! Ty.
What's going on? Nothing.
Ever since Clint and those kids got here you've been acting pretty weird.
I'm fine, Amy.
It's just my damn truck.
You can't hide out in here all weekend.
I'm not a camp counselor, Amy.
It's not my job to deal with those kids.
Yeah, and it's not my job either.
But with Clint gone, we're just gonna have to make it work.
At least you have some experience with With what? I just mean that you probably know a lot more about Tara and Badger than I do.
Why? Because I got into trouble when I was a kid, that makes me an expert? You know what I mean.
No, I don't know what you mean, actually.
If you think I'm gonna sit around a fire with these kids, swap stories about our hard-knock lives, and sing "Kumbaya," you've seen one too many after-school specials.
Are you sure I can't get you something, Jack? No, thanks.
I'm just curious to know why you called me here.
Yeah.
Well, you can relax.
It's nothing business-related.
No, actually, it's It's personal.
I'm all ears.
I have to have some tests done on Monday in Calgary.
Well, I hope that's nothing serious.
Well, my doctor is probably just being overly cautious.
But they have to put me under.
And I was just wondering if you wouldn't mind driving me there and back.
I mean, I know.
It's kind of out of left field, huh? But actually I didn't know who else to ask.
Of course I'll drive you, Val.
You don't even have to ask.
I appreciate it.
I know this is none of my business.
But don't you think you might want to mention this to your daughter? No.
No, I don't want to worry Ashley over nothing.
It's better this way.
Trust me.
MAN: This is a charming, delightful snake.
- Really, she is.
- WOMAN: Charming? - Yeah.
Her name is Bella.
- WOMAN: Bella, okay.
MAN: She does a lot You did not just do that.
I don't think Clint brought you here so you could watch TV all day.
I was just checking out the big snake.
You should have seen it.
Right.
So you're not avoiding your riding lessons at all.
Well, the thing with my riding lessons is that I'm more of an advanced intermediate, so the beginner class is just not working for me.
Mmm-hmm.
You're not afraid of horses at all? No.
Good, because Mallory's waiting for you in the barn.
[Sighs.]
This is Copper.
He's my horse.
Well, sort of.
I train him.
I groom him.
Anyway, he's a super-gentle horse, so he's really good for beginners.
Yeah, Hillary Duff, before you, like, bust out into a musical number or something, you should know I'm not into horses.
Okay, then, what are you into? I don't know.
Music.
Slasher movies.
Japanese game shows.
Boys.
I'm into boys.
Yeah, I bet.
I'm sure they love you, too.
All that pep.
I do all right.
My last boyfriend got on my nerves, so I zapped him with a stun gun.
It's how I wound up on probation.
Does that freak you out? No.
I bet you've got a pink room, like, filled with stuffed bunnies.
And two perfect parents who tuck you in every night.
Am I right? Okay, I'm gonna saddle Copper up, and then we can get started.
I told you I don't want to ride your stupid horse, okay? God, you horse girls are so annoying.
Okay.
Why do you got to be so mean about it? What are you gonna do? Gonna call the warden? Maybe you could call the Care Bears.
They could come to Heartland on a caring mission and cure me with their Care Bear stare.
Thanks.
Hey, Lou.
Oh! Oh, my God! I can't believe I just did that again.
It's okay.
Ever since I met you, my dry-cleaning bills have doubled.
- It's, like, bizarre.
- I am so sorry.
Don't be.
Don't worry about it.
It's my fault.
I should know by now not to get in your way.
No.
You know, I'm such a klutz and Wow, I am really embarrassed.
So, I'm just gonna go.
Wait, wait, wait.
So, we're not gonna talk about the flowers I sent you or anything? Peter, listen.
I know what you're gonna say, actually.
And I totally agree.
Flowers are a lame gift.
Incredibly lame, actually.
I'm gonna get you something better.
This is not about the flowers, okay? What happened between us was a mistake.
And you know, just because there's an attraction between us Wait, wait, wait.
There's an attraction? Isn't there? Yeah.
Absolutely.
That is not the point.
The point is that Maybe online things worked out.
But in reality, we are from different universes.
I'm running a campaign against the oil company you own.
That is bound to get awkward, so We just We have to be practical here.
So, good-bye.
MAN: Allow us to kind of engage and interact where she can move around a little bit more.
WOMAN: She's patient.
Down in front.
You think you know everything about me, but you don't.
Okay, so yeah, I do have a stuffed bunny, and his name's Knucklehead.
But you were wrong about all that other stuff.
Like my parents.
They don't tuck me in every night because they're not here.
They haven't been around for months.
So, that's why I live at Heartland.
And, yeah, everyone may seem nice and stuff, but nobody ever really pays any attention to me.
So, sometimes I feel the only one that's happy to see me is Copper.
Wow.
Reese Witherspoon, you really did deserve that Oscar.
Okay.
I don't really care what you think about me.
But just to let you know, you're not the only one in the world with problems.
Tangiers.
Havert heard them in a while.
Yeah, well, I'm old.
Obviously.
Nobody listens to trashy garage rock anymore.
Now it's all about Hannah Montana.
Yeah, well, Mallory can lend you one of her albums if you're jonesing for a Miley fix.
Yeah, right.
You know, Clint said he used to be your probation officer.
What did you do? That's none of your business.
Oh, it's like a big secret, huh? Whatever.
It's not like I want to hear some big sob story anyway.
I'm just glad there's at least one cool person here.
I'm not cool.
Believe me.
You seem pretty cool to me.
Of course, I always fall for the moody, damaged types.
If you like Tangiers, you'll love these guys.
They're called Hey Rosetta.
Saw them live in Calgary last month.
They're wicked bad.
Like total back-to-basics rock, you know, without any of that earnest post-grunge radio crap.
Your boyfriend's here.
He's not my boyfriend.
Badger, leave me alone, okay? Stop being like a creepy stalker.
Go.
They're totally sick, right? Yeah, they're good.
[Horses neigh.]
What's going on with the horses? How did they get out? Ty! Ty, come on! I'll go after them! What the hell do you think you're doing? Hey.
Come on, Badger.
You don't want to do this.
Come on.
Give me the hook.
No! Okay, chill out! Badger! Relax.
Nobody's gonna hurt you.
I told you I was gonna watch your back, okay? That's what I'm doing.
Hey! Hand it over.
JACK: Ty! What's going on in here? Nothing.
I got it under control.
Badger's simmered down a bit.
He gets like that sometimes, but he really wouldn't hurt anybody.
- Yeah, right.
- He's not a bad guy.
So, how come he never talks? I don't know.
He just won't.
All I know is what kids say about him around the group home.
His stepdad messed him up quite a bit, so, sometimes he freaks out about stuff.
Hey, Ty.
Thanks for not squealing on him.
I knew you wouldn't.
What's that supposed to mean? Well, just that, that would make you a hypocrite, wouldn't it? I mean, especially after all the stuff you must have pulled when you were our age.
Look, I don't know what you've heard.
But whatever you think you know about me, you're wrong.
So, like I said before, mind your own business.
God.
You are such a drama queen.
What is your problem? Are you gonna tell me what the heck was going on out there? Let's just say the sooner those kids leave, the better.
I remember thinking the same thing about you once.
You know, when you first got here, I couldn't wait for you to mess up so I could kick your ass out of here.
And I almost did several times.
But in the end, you proved me wrong.
You proved a lot of people wrong.
So, maybe you ought to give those kids a chance to do the same.
Look, I'm sorry about the whole Reese Witherspoon thing, okay? It's just you seem so perfect.
Like, popular and stuff.
Like you should be student-council president.
Are you kidding? All the kids at school think I'm weird.
Maybe you should bring me to school with you on Monday.
They'd have a whole new definition of weird.
Maybe they'd make you president of the student council.
I'm so sure.
So, do you think maybe we could start over with Cooper? Or Goober.
Copper.
Whatever.
I thought you werert into horses.
I'm not.
But this place doesn't have cable.
That's some nasty wieners and beans.
Amy! Hey, you're just in time for dinner.
Good, I'm starving.
Well, don't get too excited.
It's just wieners.
Not just wieners.
Wieners and beans.
And for dessert we're having whipped cream straight out of the can.
How cool is that? Ashley's idea.
Now, don't ruin your dinner.
I don't care.
I've emancipated myself from my mother, and I can do what I want right, Amy? Yeah, I guess.
Well, at least share.
- Heads up.
- Yeah.
That's pretty good stuff.
You want some, Amy? No, I should probably get going.
You just got here.
Hey, what's the matter? I don't know.
I should just probably go.
You might as well get back to your little party there.
Maybe later you and Ashley can have whipped-cream fights.
I thought we talked about this.
You said you trusted me.
I thought I did, too, Caleb.
I don't get why people go crazy over horses.
They just seem like big poo machines to me.
Well, they're really smart.
And you can tell them secrets because they're pretty much guaranteed that they won't tell anyone.
Kind of like a horse therapist? Okay, Copper.
Here I come.
So, you better not slobber on me.
I can't do it.
He's gonna eat my arm off.
I know it.
Okay, he won't hurt you.
I promise.
Badger, what are you doing? Oh, my God! He's eating it! Are you seeing this? Yeah, I think he likes you.
That is about as much math as I can stand on a Saturday night.
Sorry.
It's just no matter how hard I study, I always feel like I'm playing catch-up to everyone else.
You know, in all this time that I've been helping you with your homework, you've never told me why you didn't finish high school.
I just wasrt a very good student.
I find that hard to believe.
You've been getting straight A's on everything we've done so far.
Well, maybe if I had a hot tutor like you back in the day, I'd have made the honor roll.
So, who was that guy that we saw this morning? You know, the wrestler? It's nobody.
Hey, how about some dessert, huh? Here.
You pick.
You know what I like best about math? It's that if I work at it hard enough, I always find the answer.
But with you, Ty Borden, no matter what I do, I always end up with more questions.
Dibs on the bed.
Okay.
Guess I'll just sleep on the floor, then.
Hey! Dibs on the bed.
Nuh-uh.
I called it.
You'll have to fight me for it.
Mallory, what are you doing here? Lou said I could sleep over.
Okay, this night just keeps getting better and better.
I will suffocate you.
Hey.
Hey.
Any room here for a slumber-party reject? Yeah, sure.
Where's Badger? He's sleeping.
You're not such a bad camp counselor after all.
Yeah, right.
Are you gonna tell me what's been going on with you? It's nothing, Amy.
Ty.
It's just Clint brought those kids here thinking I'm some kind of poster boy.
And I'm not.
Maybe he's just proud of you.
There's nothing wrong with that.
You don't understand, Amy.
I want to, Ty.
All right.
When I was a bit younger than Badger, my mom married this new guy.
And he was Let's just say that he made my real dad look like a saint.
And I promised myself that when I got older, I'd pay him back for everything.
And I did.
Probably would have killed him if the neighbors hadrt called the cops.
And then that's when I met Clint.
Everybody at the group home used to say you don't meet Clint unless they really think you're hopeless.
Well, they were wrong, werert they? I'm not so sure about that.
I don't regret what I did, Amy.
I'd do it again if I had to.
[Laughter.]
TARA: Hey! You should go.
You don't have to say anything, Amy.
Ty.
MALLORY: Ow.
[Glass breaks.]
Go.
Before they completely destroy the cabin.
You know, for what it's won'th, I I'm really glad that Clint brought you here.
Good night.
[Laughing.]
I've never seen anything so beautiful in my entire life.
Except maybe Ty Borden.
I kissed him once.
Shut up.
You and Ty macked out? Well, it was kind of impulsive.
And he didn't really kiss back.
So, it didn't really count.
Oh, it counts.
You are, like, my new hero.
You must have some serious mojo.
Mallory mojo.
What about you and Badger? I like Badger.
I don't know.
It's hard to know where he's at.
He, like, never talks, and he's just so damaged.
I don't know.
Sometimes he scares me.
But anyway, I want to hear all about your kiss with Ty, starting from what you had for breakfast that morning.
Oh, my God.
Badger! Badger! Badger! Ty, what is it? Badger took off.
He probably went out for a smoke.
No, I checked everywhere.
And one of the horses is missing, too.
Mallory, take Tara inside, okay? Screw that.
Hey, do you want us to find him or not? Come on.
Let's split up.
You take Big River trail.
I'll go down by Briar Ridge.
Badger! Badger! You all right? Come on.
Let's get you out of there.
You okay? Come on.
Let's get you warmed up here.
Let's get you warmed up.
Come on! You don't want my jacket? Fine! If you want to die down here, I don't care.
But you putting that horse in danger, that was a really stupid thing to do.
Leave me alone.
Wow.
You actually do talk.
I don't want your help.
So, that's it? You're done? Giving up? Something like that.
Well, that's crap.
Clint gave you a chance when you got here.
And you just blew it.
You probably just bought yourself a one-way ticket to a locked unit.
Who cares? I bet Tara does.
No, she doesn't.
She just thinks I'm a freak.
Oh, gee, I wonder why that is.
This whole not-talking thing.
I don't know a lot of girls that are into that.
It's too late.
No, it's not.
Trust me, I know.
Come on.
Let's get you out of here.
One, two, three.
He went out for a smoke, and he must have gotten lost.
It happens sometimes.
The bush is awful thick in that part of the ranch.
And he took a bit of a spill on his way back, but he's okay now.
Right.
Well, I'll put that in my report.
Glad to hear that for the most part the kids were well-behaved.
Judging from the success of the weekend, I'll definitely be bringing more kids out here to the dude ranch in the future.
Anytime, Clint.
Anytime.
Duly noted.
Are you sure about this? Of course I'm sure.
You're gonna look so badass.
Go like this.
Your parents are gonna totally freak when they see you.
All right.
But remember our deal.
If I do this, you have to ride Copper.
I'm a woman of my word.
Oh.
Peter, huh? Another gift.
Internet boy's got it bad for you.
Amy, give it back.
No.
Not until you tell me what's going on.
I mean, how was your date? What did he look like? Well, he was He was very - Goth? - What? Really.
No, not Peter.
You got to see this.
What are you looking at? Nothing.
I'm just glad to see the riding lessons are going well.
Whatever.
I think it might just be a phase.
Hey.
What'd I tell you about smoking? Hey, Ty.
Thanks for not telling on me.
Twice.
Don't worry about it.
I'm gonna try talking to Tara.
Yeah? That's a pretty brave move.
You sure you're up for that? No.
But I guess I'm gonna do it anyway.
Before it really is too late.
What's going on? Ashley? What are you doing here? Jack called me.
Why didn't you say anything? Honey, it's just some tests.
Whatever this is, Mom, I'm not gonna let you do it alone.
Look, just get in the car.
Don't argue with me.
I don't want to fight anymore.
Okay.
But just give me a sec, all right? I know it wasrt my place, but Hey.
Spillproof mug.
World's a safer place.
Yeah.
It keeps my coffee warm, too.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
Better gift than flowers, right? What am I doing here? I don't even know you.
Well, here's what we're gonna do.
We gonna have an actual conversation.
No instant messaging.
No spontaneous make-out sessions.
Just two people talking.
Right? What do you think? I think that I can handle that.
There we go.
Great.
Okay.
That's not to say that spontaneous making out couldn't happen later.
- You know, I'm just - Don't push it.
Okay.
Hey, what's the matter? It's my mother.
I just took her to the clinic.
What if she's really sick? I don't have anyone else.
Hey.
You got me.
Aha, so this is where you've been hiding.
Shh.
Check it out.
Wow.
Badger's actually talking.
What do you think they're saying? I don't know.
Whatever he's saying, it worked.
Ty, um You know those things you said last night about your stepdad? Why didn't you ever tell me? I never told anyone that stuff before.
Hey, you two! Get a room!
