OH, YOUR MOM TOOK CARE OF ALL THAT.
GRANDPA, THESE ARE ALL UNPAID.
I HATE TO SAY IT, I TRULY DO,
BUT I'M TELLING YOU HEARTLAND'S DAYS ARE NUMBERED.
LOOK, YOU COULD HAVE THE BEST BUSINESS PLAN IN THE WORLD,
BUT WITH YOU IN NEW YORK
WHO'S GONNA IMPLEMENT IT?
YOU MEAN THEY WANT ME TO STAY?
WELL, I HOPE THIS DOESN'T MEAN
YOU'RE GONNA STOP COMPETING?
MY MOM JUST BOUGHT ME A NEW JUMPER, APOLLO,
HE'S AMAZING.
BUT DON'T WORRY, SECOND PLACE ISN'T SO BAD.
WE SHOULD HAVE RATES AND STICK TO THEM,
EVERYONE ELSE DOES.
WE'RE NOT EVERYONE ELSE.
I JUST SET IT UP SO YOU CAN PRACTICE JUMPING.
MALLORY: SO SPARTAN DOESN'T HAVE TO BE TRAILERED.
IT'S AMAZING.
LOU: PROBLEM IS GRANDPA...
HE'S NEVER GONNA FORGIVE YOU.
AND AMY...
I DON'T THINK SHE'S READY TO SEE YOU YET.
STOP SPREADIN' NASTY RUMOURS ABOUT HEARTLAND
AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.
BESIDES,
IT'S KINDA DIFFICULT TO SLING MUD
AND KEEP YOUR OWN HANDS CLEAN.
(CRICKETS CHIRP)
AMY: HEY, BOY.
(HORSE NICKERS)
OH, PEGASUS...
OH, PLEASE PICK UP, SCOTT.
PLEASE PICK UP.
SCOTT: (GROGGY) HELLO?
SCOTT! AMY FLEMING.
IT'S PEGASUS. CAN YOU COME OVER NOW?

WELL, THANKS FOR COMIN' OUT SO LATE, SCOTT.
NO WORRIES.
AND DON'T YOU STAY UP ALL NIGHT.
AMY: (SMIRKS)
HIS BREATHING IS IMPROVED.
I DON'T THINK HE'S SICK.
NO? WHY?
I THINK HE'S MISSING MOM.
AROMATHERAPY MIGHT HELP SOOTHE HIM A BIT.
AMY, PEGASUS IS NOT AS YOUNG
AS HE USED TO BE.
I KNOW, BUT THINK ABOUT IT.
I MEAN, WITHOUT ANY WARNING SHE'S JUST GONE.
HE MUST BE TOTALLY CONFUSED.
THEY WERE REALLY CLOSE.
THEY HAD A CONNECTION, THAT'S FOR SURE.
I'LL STAY WITH YOU FOR A WHILE
IF YOU WANT.
THANKS.
COULDN'T SLEEP; FIGURED I'D GET THESE DONE.
THERE'S FRESH COFFEE.
HOW'S PEGASUS?
OH, SCOTT AND AMY HAVE THE SITUATION IN HAND.
LOU: WELL, I HOPE HE'S BETTER
IN TIME FOR THAT OPEN HOUSE.
I NEED AMY TO HELP ME.
SHE CAN'T BE SPENDING ALL OF HER TIME WITH A HORSE.
DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT, GANDPA.
IT'S IN FIVE DAYS. I CAN'T CANCEL IT.
WELL, WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?
THE BARN DOOR COULD USE A COAT OF PAINT.
IT'S LOOKING REALLY TATTY.
THE SHEDS COULD REALLY USE A COAT, TOO.
(SPOON CLINKS IN MUG)
LOOK, LOU,
A RANCH DOESN'T RUN ITSELF.
NOW IF YOU WANTED THE WHOLE PLACE SPIFFED UP
IN TIME FOR THIS OPEN HOUSE THING
YOU SHOULD'VE GIVEN ME A LITTLE NOTICE
BEFORE YOU DECIDED ON A DATE.
I KNOW, I KNOW. AND I'M SORRY.
BUT I COULDN'T PUT IT OFF.
WE NEED THE BUSINESS NOW.
GRANDPA, IF ENOUGH PEOPLE COME
AND SEE WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER,
I KNOW OUR STALLS WILL BE FULL OF PAYING CUSTOMERS.
WELL, THEN I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.
BY THE WAY, VAL STANTON OFFERED TO LEND US A BIG TENT
IF WE WANT IT.
SHE MUST BE HAVING A RARE ATTACK OF GENEROSITY
OR SOMETHING.
PROBABLY TRYING TO MAKE NICE FOR SLANDERING US.
BUT YOU KNOW, PICK UP THAT TENT WHILE HER MOOD LASTS.
'CAUSE WE COULD DEFINITELY USE IT.
BOY, THIS TAKES ME BACK.
THERE'S SOMETHING SHE WROTE ABOUT PEGASUS
AFTER THE ACCIDENT.
YOUR DAD'S ACCIDENT.
JEEZ, I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT.
I WAS LIVING HERE, UPSTAIRS IN THE LOFT.
TIM WAS BULL DOGGING AT THE STAMPEDE.
HE MISSED HIS STEER AND...
GOT OUTTA CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO THE HAZER HORSE.
PEGASUS WENT OVER AND ALMOST CRUSHED TIM.
HE WAS IN TERRIBLE SHAPE.
PEGASUS WAS PRETTY MESSED UP TOO.
THE VETS WANTED TO PUT HIM DOWN,
BUT YOUR MOM...
SHE COULD COMMUNICATE WITH HIM...
IT'S ALMOST LIKE SHE CAN GET INSIDE OF HIS HEAD.
SHE HAD THE GIFT;
IT WORKED ON PEGASUS.
TOO BAD IT DIDN'T WORK ON MY DAD.
(HORSES WHINNY)
LET'S SEE...
(SUDDEN SNORT)

(HUFFS)
HOW ABOUT SOME YARROW?

WHAT ABOUT SOME OF THIS?
HM?
YEAH.
ALL RIGHT.
BERGAMOT OIL.
IT'S AN IMMUNE SYSTEM STIMULANT.
IF THAT'S WHAT HE CHOOSES, THAT'S WHAT HE GETS.
YOUR MOM ALWAYS SAID YOU HAVE TO ALLOW A HORSE
TO CHOOSE IT'S OWN REMEDY.
WE HAD A FEW ARGUMENTS ABOUT THAT ONE.
(HORSE WHINNIES NEARBY)
WELL, YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS NOW, PAL.
I'LL COME BY AND CHECK ON HIM LATER.
HE'LL BE GOOD UNTIL MORNING.
THANKS FOR COMING, SCOTT.
I WAS JUST SO...
(DEEP BREATH)
NO PROBLEM.
THANKS, SCOTT.
SCOTT: GOOD NIGHT.
HANG IN THERE, BUDDY.
LOU: SLEEPING IN THE BARN AGAIN, HUH SCOTT?
(SMIRKS)
JUST FOR OLD TIMES SAKE?
THERE'S COFFEE.
DO YOU WANT ANY?
THANKS,
BUT I HAVE A SURGERY FIRST THING.
I SHOULD GET A FEW HOURS OF SLEEP.
COFFEE PROBABLY WOULDN'T HELP MUCH WITH THAT.

I'VE TREATED VALUABLE HORSES BEFORE, MRS. STILLMAN.
UM, I JUST WORKED WITH STAR,
NICK HARWELL'S HORSE.
I DID SPEAK WITH NICK.
HE DID SING YOUR PRAISES, BUT-
M-MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME. SHE WAS A HORSE TRAINER.
YES. YOUR MOTHER THE HORSE WHISPERER.
MY MOTHER DIDN'T WHISPER TO HORSES,
SHE LISTENED TO THEM.
OKAY.
I LIKE YOUR ATTITUDE.
YOU WANNA SEE HER?

NO, SHE DOESN'T,
NOT UNTIL YOU TRY AND RIDE HER.

AMY: WAS SHE FINE AT HER LAST HOME?
ABSOLUTELY.
I BOUGHT HER ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO
FROM AN ELDERLY FRIEND OF MINE
WHO'S GRANDSON RODE HER - WHO WAS BLIND -
AND SHE COULDN'T SAY ENOUGH
ABOUT HOW GENTLE PROMISE WAS.
BUT SHE IS JUST THE OPPOSITE OF GENTLE HERE.
BRIAR RIDGE ALREADY GAVE UP ON HER,
SAID THAT SHE'S A ROGUE HORSE.
AND I JUST DON'T BELIEVE IT.
HARRY! LET'S STOP.
LET HER CALM DOWN.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
CAN YOU HELP HER?
I'D LOVE TO TRY,
I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE.
YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T CARE
HOW LONG IT TAKES.
I JUST WANT THE HORSE TO BE ALL RIGHT.
SO, YES?
YES.
OKAY.
SO, SEVEN O'CLOCK?
THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
I AM SO GLAD THAT WE GOT TOGETHER.

WELL, THANKS FOR HELPING ME WITH PEGASUS.
LOU: HEY, MALLORY.
GRANDPA SAID WE GOT A NEW HORSE.
YEAH.
YEAH, HER NAME IS PROMISE. SHE'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL,
BUT SHE'S GOT A REAL TEMPER
WHEN IT COMES TO SADDLING HER.
MOM HAD A LIST OF CLIENTS HERE SOMEWHERE.
I THOUGHT I'D SHOOT THEM OUT SOME INVITES.
LISA STILLMAN IS FAMOUS.
IF I CAN FIX PROMISE, WE'RE WELL ON OUR WAY.
I JUST NEED TO FIGURE OUT IF WE NEED MORE TABLES
AND CHAIRS.
DO YOU THINK I MAY NEED TO RENT SOME?
I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO.

I'M BRINGING IN BUSINESS.
GOOD.
ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
I MEAN, THIS STUPID OPEN HOUSE
IS TOTALLY STRESSING YOU OUT AND WE DON'T EVEN NEED IT.
I AM BRINGING IN CLIENTS, LOU.
CAN'T YOU JUST CANCEL?
CANCEL? NO.
WHY NOT?
BECAUSE I... I INVITED...
I CAN'T, OKAY? NOT NOW.
(CLOMP OF WITHDRAWING FOOTSTEPS)

I NEED A HALF-INCH SOCKET ON A THREE-EIGHT'S DRIVE
AND A CHAIN WRENCH. I NEED THE RIGHT TOOLS.
FINE. I'LL GO LOOK FOR WHATEVER IT IS
YOU THINK YOU NEED.
A CAN OF GAS AND A MATCH WOULD BE GOOD.
TY: IF SHE'S FRIGHTENED OF THE SADDLE,
WHY STICK IT IN HER FACE?
WELL, I JUST WANT HER TO GET USED TO IT;
SEE THAT IT'S NOT GONNA HURT HER.
YOU KNOW, IT'S WEIRD.
I DIDN'T SEE ANY FEAR IN HER EYES.
(WHINNIES WILDLY)

LISA STILLMAN MUST BE CRAZY.
HER HORSES ARE WORTH SO MUCH MONEY.
WHY WOULD SHE SEND ONE HERE?
BECAUSE SHE'S HEARD THAT WE ACTUALLY CAN CURE HORSES,
ASHLEY.

WHEN PROMISE CAME TO BRIAR RIDGE.
OH. SO IT'S PROMISE.
OKAY. NOW I GET IT.
GET WHAT?
WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE SHE GAVE YOU
ONE OF HER VALUABLE HORSES.
EVERYONE KNOWS PROMISE IS A HOPELESS CASE.
SHE'S SAVAGE.
MY MOTHER TRIED EVERYTHING WITH HER,
BUT SHE NEVER GAVE IN.
SHE JUST FOUGHT LIKE CRAZY.
THE KIND OF TREATMENT YOUR MOTHER GAVE HER,
SHE DIDN'T NEED.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
WHAT IT NEEDS IS A BULLET THROUGH ITS HEAD.

DOESN'T WORK.
HEY.

AMY: REALLY?
BRIAN: YEAH, SHE WANTED TO. YOU COULD FEEL IT.
SO, WHY DID SHE GO TO LISA?
BRIAN: CHANGED SCHOOLS.
YOU KNOW, NEW CITY.
LISA WAS THE PERFECT BUYER. SHE REALLY LOVES HER HORSES.
BUT I GUESS, WHOEVER RIDES PROMISE
HAS TO REMEMBER, IT'S LIKE DANCING WITH A GIRL
WHO'S WAY BETTER AT THE STEPS THAN YOU.
SHE LEADS.
NO MISTAKE. SHE'S THE BOSS.
IT'S FUNNY, WHEN I WAS RIDING HER IT WAS ALMOST LIKE
I SHOULD BE ASKING HER PERMISSION.
LIKE IT WAS A FAVOUR SHE GRANTED ME.

I'VE GOT MOVES YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE.
(LAUGHS)
ALL RIGHT, THIS I GOTTA SEE.
HAVE FUN.
ASHLEY'S MOM'S A PIECE OF WORK, EH?
YEAH. MY MOM NEVER LET HER GET TO HER.
CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?
YEAH.
IF YOU THINK ASHLEY'S SUCH A SPOILED ROTTEN BRAT,
WHY DID YOU HAVE A RIDE ON HER STUPID BIKE?
STUPID BIKE?
AMY! THAT WAS A DUCATI.
THAT'S LIKE MY FAVOURITE BIKE.
IT WAS A DUCATI MULTISTRADA 1100S.
LIKE I WOULDN'T TAKE IT FOR A RIDE?
OKAY. (LAUGHS)
WHO KNEW?
YOU CAN PUT SOME OF THAT VALERIAN STUFF ON YOUR BURGER.
YOU NEED TO CHILL OUT.
(LAUGHS)
YOU WEREN'T JEALOUS, WERE YOU?
NO.
COME AND DANCE, TY! YOU PROMISED.
NOT THAT YOUR PROMISE IS WORTH ANYTHING.
TY: (HEAVY EXHALE)

SCOTT: WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?
MY MOVES PUTTING YOU TO SLEEP?
(CHUCKLES) NO.
I KNOW IT WAS STUPID,
AND I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE, BUT...
I INVITED MY DAD TO THIS.
I KNOW.
WHAT WAS I THINKING, RIGHT?
BECAUSE OF COURSE,
HE DIDN'T SHOW.

TIM: HOW YOU DOIN', BOY, HM?

I HEARD YOU WEREN'T DOING SO WELL.
(PEGASUS GRUNTS)

I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW.
TY: HEY! CAN I HELP YOU?
UH, I'M JUST VISITING.
NICE HORSE.
HOW'S HE DOING?
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I HEARD THAT HE WAS SICK.
A LOT BETTER. HE'S DOIN' A LOT BETTER.
WELL, THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S REAL GOOD.
SO, WHO ARE YOU?
TY: TY BORDEN. I LIVE HERE.

LUCKY GUY.
(SMIRKS)
NICE MEETIN' YA.
SCOTT NEEDS YOU AT THE GRILL.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?
LOU INVITED ME.
THIS IS MY PROPERTY, AND I WANT YOU OFF IT.
EASY, JACK.
I'M JUST HERE TO SEE MY DAUGHTERS.
THAT'S MY RIGHT.
DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS.
WHY DON'T WE DEAL WITH THIS LIKE ADULTS,
MAN TO MAN.
TIM, IF I SAW A MAN,
I'D DEAL WITH IT LIKE AN ADULT.
BUT I DON'T SEE A MAN.
SO I SUGGEST YOU LEAVE -
NOW.
I DON'T WANT YOU RUINING A PERFECTLY GOOD DAY FOR AMY.
