YOU'LL BE SAVING ME THE TROUBLE.
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
(HORSE SNUFFLES)
ONCE THE POLICE SEE HOW HE TREATS HORSES
THEY'LL ARREST HIM FOR SURE.
HE'S NOT CALLING ANYBODY.

I MANAGED TO SQUEEZE AN EXTRA POINT OF COMMISSION.
JUST A SEC. I HAVE TO TAKE THIS.
HELLO?
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I HAVE TO GO HOME.
JACK: THEY'RE HELPIN' HER BREATHE, BUT HER VITAL SIGNS ARE STABLE.
BUT THE DOC SAYS HE CAN'T GUARANTEE
WHEN SHE'S GONNA COME TO.
SO THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL BE CRITICAL.
DOES DAD KNOW?
COME ON, GRAMPA. HE'S GOT THE RIGHT.
HE GAVE UP THAT RIGHT A LONG TIME AGO, LOU.

"WHAT WAS THE PERFECT PART, MOM?"
SHE LAUGHED AND SAID,
"NO FLIES".

MALLORY: YOU'RE HERE.
I'VE BEEN WAITING AND WAITING.
HEY, MALLORY.
WE GOT HER BACK AS QUICK AS WE COULD.
I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HOME.
YEAH.
MY MOM AND DAD SAY HI.
THEY'RE GONNA COME OVER AND SEE YOU GUYS LATER.
IS SHE OKAY?
SHE'LL GET THERE, MALLORY.
SHE'LL GET THERE. JUST GIVE HER TIME.
MAYBE COME BACK IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
OKAY.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THESE FLOWERS?
THEY'RE FROM JESSE.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HORSE?
IS HE DEAD TOO?
SCOTT: IT'S NOT THE PHYSICAL INJURIES I'M WORRIED ABOUT.
A LOT OF HORSES NEVER RECOVER FROM A TRAUMA LIKE THAT.
WELL, YOU'RE THE VET. WHAT ARE WE LOOKIN' AT?
(SIGHING) WELL...
MARION ALWAYS USED TO TELL ME -
"NEVER GIVE UP ON A HORSE,"
BUT I'D, I'D...
I'D CONSIDER PUTTING HIM DOWN
SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.
(SIGHING)
WELL, MY DAUGHTER DIED TRYING TO SAVE THAT HORSE AND, UH...

THAT WAS THE IDEA, YEAH, BUT...
THERE'S A FEW THINGS AROUND HERE
I GOTTA TAKE CARE OF FIRST,
STARTING WITH THE BANK.
THEY'VE BEEN CALLING.
JACK: BANKS DON'T CALL JUST TO SAY HELLO.
LOU: TELL ME ABOUT IT.
HAVE YOU SEEN THESE BILLS?
OH YOUR MOM TOOK CARE OF ALL THAT.
LOU: WELL, APPARENTLY NOT VERY WELL.
GRAMPA, THESE ARE ALL UNPAID.
WELL, MAYBE SHE HAD OTHER THINGS ON HER MIND.
GRAMPA, WHY DON'T YOU JUST USE THE DISHWASHER?
JACK: NO, MORE TROUBLE THAN IT'S WORTH.
LOU: GIVE ME THOSE.
(DISHES CLATTER)
(LOUD BANGING)
WHY THE HELL DID MOM AND AMY
HAVE TO GO UP TO MALLEN'S FARM?!

HOW'S IT GOING SO FAR?
SCOTT: (GRUNTS) (HORSE WHINNIES)
I'M BEGINNING TO THINK THIS HORSE DOESN'T LIKE ME.
(HORSE WHINNIES WILDLY)
YOU THINK YOU TWO COULD FINISH THAT CONVERSATION LATER?
(HORSE WHINNIES WILDLY)

I'M GONNA HAVE TO GIVE HIM A SHOT.

UH, HEARTLAND?
LAND'S BEEN IN MY FAMILY FOR SIX GENERATIONS.
WELL, WE USED TO RUN CATTLE, WHITEFACE MOSTLY.
YEAH, THAT'S WHEN THIS PLACE ACTUALLY MADE A PROFIT.
MY MOM BELIEVED THERE WERE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS THAN MONEY.
OUR MOTHER SET THIS PLACE UP AS A RESCUE CENTER FOR HORSES
AFTER OUR DAD LEFT WHEN WE WERE LITTLE KIDS.
JACK: PASS THE POTATOES.
AMY: MY MOTHER WAS LIKE A HORSE WHISPERER.
WHAT? LIKE A HORSE SHRINK?
AMY: SHE WAS FAMOUS.
SHE COULD JUST LOOK AT A HORSE AND...
KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG AND WHAT TO DO.
SO WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NOW?
JACK: WELL...
I GUESS WE'LL CARRY ON
JUST LIKE WE DID BEFORE.
NOT ACCORDING TO LOU.
LOU'S GOT LOTS OF PLANS.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE THIS PLACE RUN MORE LIKE A BUSINESS.
AMY: IT'S NOT A BUSINESS.
THAT'S NOT THE WAY MOM DID THINGS.
TELL ME ABOUT IT.
WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
IT MEANS THAT MOM DIDN'T EVEN SEE THE PROBLEMS.

I WENT TO YOUR MOM'S FUNERAL?
IT WAS LIKE THE SADDEST THING
I'VE EVER BEEN TO IN MY WHOLE LIFE.
ASHLEY, SHUT UP.
IT'S OKAY.
WELL, I HOPE THIS DOESN'T MEAN
YOU'RE GONNA STOP COMPETING,
BECAUSE YOU'RE MY ONLY REAL COMPETITION

HE'S AMAZING.
BUT DON'T WORRY,
SECOND PLACE ISN'T SO BAD.
STEVE: IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU, LOU.
YOU LOO.
HOW LONG'?
SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.
STEVE: OH YEAH.
YOU KNOW, TO TELL THE TRUTH,
I THOUGHT I'D NEVER SEE YOU BACK HERE.
I WASN'T EXACTLY PLANNING ON BEING BACK.
STEVE: AH... RIGHT.
I'M SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR MOM.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BOTHER YOU WITH THIS.
THE THING IS, LOU, THE LOAN TO HEARTLAND
WASN'T BASED ON EQUITY,
IT WAS BASED ON YOUR MOM'S REPUTATION.
I KNOW,
AND I CAN TOTALLY APPRECIATE THE PRESSURE YOU MUST BE UNDER.
SO...
I'VE WRITTEN UP A BUSINESS PLAN.
(PAGE FLIPS)
STEVE: YOU'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK HERE, LOU.
IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD STUFF, REALLY.
WE CUT COSTS, FOCUS MORE ON PAYING CUSTOMERS,
AND A LITTLE LESS ON MY MOTHER'S LOST CAUSES,
AND, UH, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO, STEVE,
IS RE-JIG THE PAYMENT SCHEDULE ON OUR LOAN.
I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN SELLING MIGHT BE THE MOST REALISTIC SOLUTION
TO YOUR FINANCIAL CRISIS.
YOU SAY FINANCIAL CRISIS, I SAY CASH FLOW PROBLEM.
LOOK...
MY MOTHER WAS A HORSE WOMAN,
BUT I'M A BUSINESSWOMAN.
SO DO ME A FAVOUR -
WHEN YOU TAKE MY PLAN TO YOUR LOANS COMMITTEE
JUST PITCH IT LIKE IT'S SOMETHING
WE'VE WORKED OUT TOGETHER.
JUST LIKE IN HIGH SCHOOL, REMEMBER?
OH, LIKE THE GRADE ELEVEN SCIENCE FAIR?
WELL, WE WON FIRST PLACE.
YEAH, WELL, I DID ALL THE WORK
ON THAT PROJECT.
WELL, I DID ALL THE WORK ON THIS ONE.
SO NOW WE'RE EVEN.

THE LOANS COMMITTEE GOES FOR IT,
YOU AGREE TO LET ME TAKE YOU OUT FOR A COFFEE.

(HORSE WHINNIES WILDLY)

EXCEPT NOT THAT ONE.
(HORSE WHINNIES SHRILLY)
WHAT'S HIS PROBLEM?
JACK: WELL, THAT'S FOR AMY TO FIGURE OUT.
TY: AND WHAT'S SHE GONNA DO WITH HIM?
(HORSE WHINNIES)
FIX HIM IF SHE CAN.
(HORSE SNORTS)
SHE'S GOT TO BE CRAZY.
SHE'S GOT HER WORK CUT OUT FOR HER.
(HORSE HOOFS CLIP CLOP)
(HORSE SNORTS)
LOU!
WHY ARE THEY TAKING PRINCE? HE'S NOT READY TO GO YET.
OH, THEY UM...
THEY THINK WE'RE CHARGING TOO MUCH.
MOM HARDLY CHARGED THEM ANYTHING.
EXACTLY.
AMY, WE NEED TO START MAKING A PROFIT
OR WE'RE GOING TO BE FORCED TO SELL OFF THIS LAND.
SELL MOM'S DREAM!
JUST LIKE THAT TO SOME RICH OIL PEOPLE?!
HEARTLAND ISN'T A DREAM, AMY.
IT'S A RANCH, A BUSINESS.
SHUT UP! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
JACK: WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU TWO?!
LOU WANTS TO SELL HEARTLAND SO SHE CAN GO BACK TO NEW YORK!
JACK: COME ON NOW NO ONE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT SELLING.
TELL HIM, LOU.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
WHY DO YOU THINK SHE WENT TO THE BANK?
YOU GOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TELL ME, LOU?
SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO GET THEM BACK.
VAL: (CHUCKLING) YOU DON'T NEED AN EXCUSE TO COME AND SEE ME,
YOU KNOW, JACK.
JACK: (CHUCKLING)
I SWEAR, VAL,
I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE RAISING KIDS AGAIN.
AND I WASN'T THAT GREAT AT IT FIRST TIME AROUND
AND NOW IT'S ALL I CAN DO
TO KEEP THOSE TWO GIRLS FROM KILLIN' EACH OTHER.
YOU WANT MY ADVICE, JACK?
BUY THEM A LITTLE SOMETHING.
DVD, LAPTOP...
$100,000 JUMPER.
JACK: THAT OUGHTA WIN YOU A FEW RED RIBBONS.
(CHUCKLING)
ANYTHING TO KEEP THE PEACE.
(CHUCKLES)
WELL IF I COULD AFFORD IT I MIGHT JUST TRY, BUT...
UH, LOU TELLS ME WE'RE IN DEFAULT ON OUR LOAN
AND THE BANK CAN CALL IT IN ANY TIME.
JACK.
YOU'RE SITTING ON LAND WORTH MILLIONS
AND YOU'RE STRAIGHTENING NAILS TO MEND FENCES.
I MEAN, COME ON,
PUT A "FOR SALE" SIGN ON HEARTLAND.
THE BUYERS WILL BEAT A PATH TO YOUR DOOR.
HELL...
I MIGHT BE THE FIRST IN LINE.

TO MY GRANDKIDS, YOU KNOW,
NOT JUST MONEY,
A PLACE THEY COULD CALL HOME.

FROM A GUY WHO KNIFED HIS OLD MAN.
BUT LESSONS...
YEAH, WHERE DO I SIGN UP?
OKAY, I GET IT.
I'M JUST HERE TO CHECK UP ON THE HORSES.
AND BY THE WAY,
YOU DO SUCK.
HEY WAIT!
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH THAT CRAZY ONE?
SPARTAN?
YOUR GRANDDAD TOLD ME YOU WERE GONNA FIX HIM.
YEAH.
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'M ANY GOOD AT THAT KIND OF STUFF.

GRAMPA, HAVEN'T YOU EVER MADE A MISTAKE IN YOUR LIFE?!
OH, I MADE PLENTY
AND I PAID FOR EVERY ONE.
AMY: YEAH, WELL YOU'RE MAKING ANOTHER ONE RIGHT NOW.

SAMANTHA LOUISE.
THOSE PICTURES YOU SENT ME DON'T DO YOU JUSTICE.
YOU LOOK JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER.
REALLY?
PEOPLE ALWAYS TOLD ME I WAS LIKE MY DAD.
WELL, THEY TELL YOU THAT AFTER YOU LIED TO THEM
OR TOOK OFF WITHOUT TELLING ANYBODY WHERE YOU WERE GOING
BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T HANDLE THE PRESSURE?
I THINK THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT MY EYES.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU, LOU.
I WASN'T SURE IF YOU...
GOT MY NOTE,
OR IF YOU WERE EVEN GONNA SHOW UP.
YEAH, I WASN'T SURE EITHER.
WELL, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU CALLING ME
ABOUT YOUR MOM.
AND AMY.
THE PROBLEM IS GRAMPA.
HE'S NEVER GONNA FORGIVE YOU.
AND AMY...
I DON'T THINK SHE'S READY TO SEE YOU YET.
IT'S OKAY.
WE'LL JUST TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME.
LOU: (TEARFUL) OH DAD.
IF IT WAS UP TO ME
I'D KICK YOUR ASS SO FAR DOWN THE ROAD
YOU'D BE CRAPPIN' IN MONTANA.
BUT...
BUT WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
I'M SAYIN' GRAB A SHOVEL.
AND WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO THAT?
WELL 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE USE
WHEN WE CLEAN THE BARN.
WHAT ABOUT BREAKFAST?
(CHUCKLING)
LOU: NO, CARL,
I CAN'T SAY WHEN I'LL BE BACK,
BUT I KNOW IT WON'T BE NEXT WEEK.
I HAVEN'T TOLD THE BOSS YET.
