WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?
AMY: IT'S OKAY, LOU.
NO, IT IS NOT OKAY.
IT'S NOT OKAY. IT'S NEVER ENOUGH WITH YOU, IS IT?
YOU KNOW WHAT, MAGGIE, I THINK I'M HOOKED.
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT FISHING OR...
JACK BARTLETT?
TY: YOU GOTTA PROBLEM, MAN?
AMY: TY, NO. FORGET ABOUT IT.
NEXT TIME.
BETTER PRAY THERE AIN'T NO NEXT TIME.
VAL: I GUESS I'M A LITTLE SURPRISED THAT YOU NEVER TOLD ME,
YOU AND LISA WERE A SERIOUS ITEM.
OH, LOOK, TY'S LITTLE GIRLFRIEND.
THESE HORSES DON'T BELONG TO YOU.
(HARD PUSH)
WELL, I FIRED THAT GUY, WES.
I SHOULDA KNOWN THAT GUY WAS BAD NEWS
FROM... THE DAY HE SIGNED ON.
OH YEAH. ALL SHE COULD TALK ABOUT
WAS THE SIZE OF THAT TROUT.
♪♪
(HORSE GRUFFS)
THAT'S IT. HE'S GETTING IT NOW.
YEAH, THAT LAST JUMP WAS PERFECT.
DID YOU SEE IT? HE JUST DID IT HIMSELF.
WHY DON'T YOU GO AROUND ONE MORE TIME,
THEN WE'LL CALL IT A DAY.
I DON'T THINK HE'S READY TO CALL IT A DAY.
YOU MEAN, YOU'RE NOT READY TO CALL IT A DAY.
IT SAYS HERE WE'RE ONLY SUPPOSED TO DO THIS EXERCISE
FOR LIKE FORTY FIVE MINUTES AT A TIME.
YEAH, WELL, I, AH...
I STILL GOT FIVE MORE MINUTES.
BESIDES, YOU CAN'T LEARN ABOUT JUMPING
FROM A STUPID BOOK.
SO PUT IT AWAY!
HOW'S THAT WORKING OUT?
WELL, IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY HELPFUL,
BUT...
DOES SHE LISTEN TO ME?
NO. (LAUGHS)
SHE'S JUST TROUBLE. (VEHICLE HONKS HORN)
JACK: SPEAKIN' OF...
VAL: HEY, JACK!
VAL.
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR ARM?
ASHLEY: RED DUMPED HIM ON HIS ASS, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
YEAH, MAN, I'M OFF THE SHOW CIRCUIT.
GIVES HIM MORE TIME TO COACH ME, NOW.
SO, IT'S ALL GOOD.
THAT'S A NICE ANIMAL.
JACK: SPARTAN.
SPARTAN?
OH, RIGHT.
IT'S THE HORSE IN THE ACCIDENT WITH MARION.
AMY'S DONE A GREAT JOB WITH HIM.
VAL: YEAH, SHE'S NOT BAD.
ASHLEY BETTER LOOK OUT FOR HER, HUH?
(LAUGHS)
UM, CAN WE TALK?
ASHLEY: SO, AMY...,
I SAW YOUR NAME ON ENTRY LIST FOR THE FALL FINALLY
I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D HAVE THE POINTS.
WELL, I DON'T YET,
BUT I ENTERED IN THE HIGH RIVER SHOW.
ME TOO, EXCEPT...
I DON'T NEED THE POINTS LIKE YOU DO.
OBVIOUSLY.
UH, YOU GOING TO THE DANCE THIS FRIDAY?
I HAVEN'T REALLY GIVEN IT MUCH THOUGHT.
ASHLEY: OH, C'MON. IT'S THE SEMI-FORMAL.
YOU CAN'T MISS THAT. UM... WELL,
I'M HAVING AN AFTER PARTY, IF YOU WANNA GO?
AND, TY, IT'S AN "OPEN TO ANYONE" DANCE,
SO EVEN YOU CAN COME.
AND TELL SORAYA,
BEN AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER THERE.
VAL: (EXHALES)

BRIAR RIDGE IS GOING THROUGH THE ROOF.
SEEMS EVERY OIL GUY AND DOT.COM MILLIONAIRE
WANTS TWO THINGS THESE DAYS...
A PRIVATE JET AND A SHOW HORSE.
SO, THE ONLY THING FOR ME TO DO
IS TO EXPAND.
I'M GONNA BUILD ANOTHER 60 HORSE STABLE
WITH AN INDOOR TRAINING RING AND A FITNESS FACILITY.
(WHISTLES) SOME BIG PLANS.
YUP. THE ONLY KIND, RIGHT?
I WAS GONNA TALK TO MY NEIGHBOUR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ME,
YOU KNOW, HARRY VERNON.
BUT I THOUGHT I'D MAKE YOU THE FIRST OFFER.
WHAT KIND OF OFFER?
I'D LIKE TO BUY SOME OF YOUR LAND.
REALLY?
I'LL PAY MARKET VALUE.
HERE'S THE OFFER.
(ENVELOPE CRACKLES)
OH, SORRY, VAL, I'M NOT INTERESTED.
REALLY?

ASHLEY: MOTHER.

I'M COMING.
I GUESS THINGS HAVE CHANGED, EH, JACK?
YOU'RE NOT FEELING QUITE SO PRESSED
FOR MONEY ANYMORE.
(SMIRKS)

YOU SHOULD GIVE HIM A CHANCE.
I NEED NICK HARWELL.
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. THAT'LL COST A FORTUNE.

THEY, UM... (CLEARS THROAT)
THEY WANT ME TO GO FOR AN INTERVIEW.
AHH, GOOD.
LOU: YEAH, IT'S A REALLY UP AND COMING COMPANY
AND THEY HARDLY EVER RECRUIT
SO, I WAS ACTUALLY REALLY HAPPY THEY SEARCHED ME OUT.
GREAT.
AND WHAT ABOUT RUNNING HEARTLAND?
LOU: WELL, THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING A WHOLE LOT BETTER THERE...
FINANCIALLY, SO...
I DON'T KNOW, DAD, I MIGHT GO FOR IT.
I'M HAPPY FOR YOU.
LOU: THANKS.

YOU KNOW, THE BLACK-TIE DINNER, DANCE
I INVITED YOU TO AND YOU SAID, YES.
RIGHT, YES. YEAH.
IT'S THIS FRIDAY, UH...
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE IN NEW YORK, ARE YOU?
NEW YORK?
NO, THERE IS NO NEW YORK TRIP.
THERE IS NO INTERVIEW.
(DEEP INHALE) YET.
YET?
LOU: I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU, GUYS,
BUT I WASN'T SURE MYSELF WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.
I MEAN, WHEN I FIRST GOT THE EMAIL
I WAS KIND OF FLATTERED, RIGHT,
BUT I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AND THEN THEY PERSISTED.
JACK: SO WHEN DO YOU GO?
LOU: WELL, I HAVE TO SEND THEM MY RESUME FIRST
AND THEN THEY'LL DECIDE IF THEY EVEN WANT TO INTERVIEW ME.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?
I DON'T KNOW.
OH, COME ON, LOU.
ALL RIGHT, I'M TOTALLY CONFUSED, OKAY.
I MEAN, I CAN'T SAY GOODBYE TO A BIG PART OF MY LIFE
JUST LIKE THAT.
THE GIRL WHO'S SUBLETTING MY APARTMENT
WANTS TO KNOW IF I'M COMING BACK,
I STILL HAVE A BUNCH OF STUFF IN STORAGE.
WELL, THEN YOU SHOULD GO.
LOU: BUT YOU GUYS NEED ME HERE.
I KNOW WE'RE A BIT MORE STABLE THAN WE WERE BEFORE,
BUT WE'RE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS, YET.
MAYBE WE NEVER WILL BE.
WELL, THEN YOU SHOULD STAY.
LOU, IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO ONE THING:
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
KEEPING THIS RANCH AFLOAT
IS NOT YOUR TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY.
SEND THEM YOUR RESUME AND THAT'LL BE A START.

I DON'T KNOW. JUST...
IT'S ALL MESSED UP.
LOU: WHAT'S MESSED UP?
AMY: NOTHING.
OKAY, SO, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY THIS NICELY
AND, AMY, YOU KNOW THAT I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE
WHO ENCOURAGED YOU TO COMPETE, RIGHT?
BUT..., JUST SEEMS LIKE LATELY
YOU GUYS ARE DOING A WHOLE LOT OF TRAINING

THERE'S A BIT OF A PROBLEM.

MRS. STEVENSON: THE HOUSE IS FULLY INSURED, BUT THE BARN ISN'T.
TWO YEARS AGO, WE NOTIFIED YOUR MOTHER
THAT WE COULD NOT CONTINUE TO INSURE THE BARN
BECAUSE THE WIRING WASN'T UPDATED
AND APPARENTLY, FOR WHATEVER REASON,
SHE DIDN'T GET THE NECESSARY WORK DONE,
SO THE INSURANCE ON THE BARN WAS NEVER REINSTATED.
MRS. STEVENSON,
I HAVE QUOTES UPWARDS TO NEARLY $50,000
TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE.
THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN AFFORD THAT.
SURELY, THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WE CAN WORK OUT
BASED ON OUR HISTORY TOGETHER?

YOU'D BE COVERED,
BUT THE BARN...

WOULD THAT CAUSE THE FIRE, JACK?
IF IT WAS PLUGGED IN?
NOT MUCH CHANCE OF THAT.

SUSTAINED AN INJURY THAT PUT PRESSURE ON HIS BRAIN.
AH, SUBDURAL HEMATOMA.
SOMETIMES THE EFFECTS AREN'T FELT
UNTIL A FEW DAYS AFTER THE INJURY.
IF THE PRESSURE DOES NOT ABATE,
THE OXYGENATED BLOOD MAY NOT REACH ALL AREAS OF THE BRAIN.
IN THAT CASE, THE BRAIN TISSUE...,
IT MAY DIE.
AND IF IT DOES?
DOCTOR LAROCHE: WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS ALLEVIATING THE PRESSURE
AND ONCE THAT IS ACCOMPLISHED,
WE'RE GOING TO SLOWLY LET HIM REGAIN CONSCIOUSNESS.
NOW, MY ADVICE TO YOU...
IS TO GO HOME AND GET SOME REST.
WE'RE KEEPING A REAL CLOSE EYE ON HIM.
OKAY?
I'M GONNA STAY WITH HIM.
SO WILL I.
NO.

WE WERE STANDING AROUND LISTENING TO ASHLEY'S CRAP
AND MEANWHILE, THE BARN WAS ON FIRE
AND GRANDPA IS...
YOU KNOW, TY, WHAT IF HE DOESN'T-
AMY.
DON'T GO THERE.
LOU: SO, BASICALLY EVERYTHING IS A COMPLETE MESS
AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO.
WELL...
I THINK I KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I SAVED A LITTLE MONEY
WHEN I WORKED ON THE RIGS, UP IN FORT ST. JOHN.
JUST...
IT'S JUST SITTING IN A SAVINGS ACCOUNT.
I THINK I'D LIKE TO GIVE IT TO YOU
TO MAKE THE REPAIRS.
NO.
ABSOLUTELY.
(WELLING UP) OH, DAD.
WHAT?
LOU, YOU'RE GONNA BE A BIG SHOT IN NEW YORK.
HUH, PAY ME BACK SOMEDAY.
JACK: OVER MY DEAD BODY.
GRANDPA?
TIM, IF YOU THINK YOU CAN BUY YOUR WAY BACK INTO THIS FAMILY,
YOU REALLY HAVE FALLEN OFF YOUR HORSE
ONE TOO MANY TIMES.
(HALF LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS)
(PHONE RINGS)
I'LL GET IT.
HELLO.
HEY LOU.
OKAY. YUP, OKAY.
(INHALE AND EXHALES)
JACK'S AWAKE. HE'S GONNA BE FINE.
JACK: ALL RIGHT, LOU, STOP THIS THING.
LOU: DOCTORS ORDERS, GRANDPA.
JACK: I WANT TO WALK.
LOU: DO YOU WANT TO EAT THEIR FOOD FOR ANOTHER WEEK?
TIM: GOOD TO SEE YA BACK ON YOUR FEET, JACK.
JACK: I HAVEN'T CHANGED MY MIND, TIM,
SO DON'T GO HARPING ON ABOUT ALL THE MONEY YOU GOT.
I'LL GET THROUGH THIS.
(HEAVY BREATHS)
LOU: UMPH.
GRANDPA?
WHAT IS IT?
THAT'S HIM.
I, I SAW HIM RUNNING AWAY FROM THE FIRE.
WES.
I REMEMBER, HE'S THE ONE!
TIM: WES!
(GRUNTING)
(PANTING)
YOU GOT SOMETHING TO TELL ME, WES?
JACK: I REMEMBER SEEING HIS TRUCK MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES
UP ON THE ROAD.
HE MUST'VE BEEN WATCHING US.
PLANNING TO MAKE HIS MOVE.
IT'S SO CREEPY TO THINK
THAT HE WAS JUST OUT FOR REVENGE
BECAUSE WE DESTROYED HIS LITTLE MUSTANG
SMUGGLING SET UP.
AND FOR BEING FIRED.
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY.
REVENGE IS LIKE BITING A DOG
'CAUSE THE DOG BITES YOU.
JUST WASTE OF ENERGY. ALL YOU GET'S MOUTHFUL OF HAIR.
AMY: (LAUGHS)
IS THAT WHAT THEY SAY, GRANDPA?
YEAH. THAT'S... THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY.
(DOOR CLOSES)
(TRUCK RUMBLES ALONG DRIVEWAY)
OH MY GOD!
(SAW WHIRS)
WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT.

(SAW WHIRS)
(TOOLS BANGING)
HEY, JACK!
OH, IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.
COME HERE.
THIS IS AMAZING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
MAGGIE: OH, COME ON NOW, JACK.
THAT'S WHAT COMMUNITY'S FOR.
TO PULL TOGETHER, HELP OUT.
NO WAY WE WERE GONNA STAND BY
AND SEE JACK SELL EVEN ONE OF HIS BELOVED ACRES.
ESPECIALLY TO VAL STANTON.
WHAT?! WHEN DID THAT EVER COME UP?
GRAMPA, YOU WOULD NEVER SELL TO VAL?
OF ALL PEOPLE!
OH, HI, VAL.
VAL: HI, LOU.
UM... DO YOU WANNA...?
LOU: YEAH.
HARD KEEP TOO KEEP A SECRET AROUND HERE.
(LAUGHS)
WHATEVER.
JACK I JUST WANTED TO SAY HOW GLAD I AM
TO SEE YOU OUT OF THE WOODS.
I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR COMING TO ME FIRST
WITH YOUR PROPOSAL.
WELL, AS IF I WOULDN'T.
YEAH, I KNOW.
AND I THOUGHT ABOUT IT REAL HARD,
BUT I'VE DECIDED TO HANG ON TO THIS PLACE,
EVERY INCH OF IT,
FOR AS LONG AS I POSSIBLY CAN.
IT'S JUST SOMETHING I PROMISED I'D DO.
A VERY LONG TIME AGO.
OKAY, JACK.
(DEEP BREATH)
(SAW WHIRS)
(COFFEE SLOSHES)
HEY.
THANK YOU.
HEY, LISTEN. I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU.
YOU KNOW, FOR EVERYTHING.
FOR THIS, FOR GRANDPA.
NO PROBLEM.
AND I WANTED TO APOLOGIZE.
NO. YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
BUT, SCOTT, I AM GOING TO THAT INTERVIEW.
AND YOU SHOULD.
AND IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT ME.
LOOK, I'M SORRY. I SHOULD NEVER...
NO, LISTEN.
I NEED THIS JOB.
I HAVE TO START MAKING A SOLID INCOME
SO I CAN HELP WITH THINGS BACK HERE.
I MEAN, WE CAN'T ALWAYS BE LIVING ON THE WIRE.
I MEAN, LOOK AT THIS.
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
YEAH, I KNOW.
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
(EXHALES)
(CRICKETS CHIRP)
HE'S MISSING OUR PRACTICES.
I'M GONNA START AGAIN TOMORROW.
YOU BETTER GET OUT THAT LITTLE BOOK OF YOURS.
YOU NEED A REAL COACH.
WELL, I'M CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR THEORIES
ON "STRATEGIES AND ANGLES".
(SMIRKS)
YEAH RIGHT.
HEY,
WOULD I MAKE FUN OF YOU?
(LAUGHS)
OKAY. COME PLAY POOL WITH ME SOMETIME,
I'LL FILL YOU IN.
ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE ON, COACH.
YEAH?
YEAH.
(SMIRKS)
ASHLEY'S TOAST. (CHUCKLES)
DEAL.
BOTH: (LAUGH)
DEAL.
I DIDN'T ACCUSE YOU.
YES, YOU DID.
BUT JACK BELIEVED ME, RIGHT, JACK?
WELL, I BELIEVE YOU... NOW.
(SCOFFS) DAMN WELL BETTER.
MALLORY.
TY: (TIRED GROAN)
(WHACK)
AMY: HEY! YOU HIT THE GRANDMA STONE.
THE GRANDMA STONE?
LOU: OH, COME ON, TY. YOU'VE NEVER HEARD
THE FAMOUS STORY OF THE BARTLETT STONES?
NO.
AMY: (LAUGHS) ALL RIGHT.
WELL, THIS IS MY GREAT-GREAT GRANDFATHER
AND THIS IS MY GREAT-GREAT GRANDMOTHER.
THEN THIS IS GRANDPA,
AND THIS ONE'S MY MOM, AND THIS ONE'S ME...
LOU: AND THIS IS ME.
