AMY: TY!
TY, SPARTAN'S GONE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME PICK ME UP
ALL THE WAY AT THE RANCH.
PETER: HEY.
EVERYTHING OKAY?
(AWKWARD BREATH)
WE HAVE TO FACE FACTS...
YOU MAY NOT FIND HIM.
AMY: TY, THAT'S HIM.
AUCTIONEER: ...THE HORSE 1800, BUYER NUMBER 61.
AMY: HE WAS ALL I HAD LEFT OF HER.
SHE DIED TRYING TO SAVE HIM.
HE IS MY HORSE
AND NO ONE'S GONNA TAKE HIM FROM ME.
TY: AND HOW'RE YOU GONNA GET SPARTAN
OUT OF LOCKED AUCTION HOUSE WITH A GUARD DUTY ONSITE.
WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?
AMY: (ELATED BREATH)
YOU ARE GROUNDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
GOT MYSELF A PRO-RODEO SPONSORSHIP.
I'LL SEE YA.
CALEB: YES, YOU WILL.
(AMY PATS SPARTAN)
(SIGHING)
(SPARTAN GRUNTS HEAVILY)
OH! UNGH!
(SPARTAN GRUNTS AND SNORTS)
(GASPING)
WHOA...
SPARTAN, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?
WHAT? I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD A CHALET
IN THE MOUNTAINS.
(HALF LAUGHS)
AND WHAT EXACTLY DOES ONE DO WITH THREE FIRE PLACES?
PETER, THAT SOUNDS AMAZING, BUT I CAN'T.
BECAUSE I JUST LAUNCHED MY WINTER MARKETING CAMPAIGN
AND I HAVE TO STICK AROUND IN CASE I GET A BOOKING.
OKAY, LOOK, NEXT WEEKEND FOR SURE. OKAY?
I'LL CALL YOU LATER. BYE.
WELL, LOU, I DON'T WANNA TELL YOU HOW TO BAIL YOUR OWN HAY,
BUT I THINK YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME
WITH THIS NEW CAMPAIGN.
THERE'S A REASON
THAT DUDE RANCHES SHUT DOWN IN THE WINTER.
WELL, NOT THIS ONE.
"HEARTLAND'S WINTER WONDERLAND."
LOU: CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING. ICE-SKATING. HAY RIDES.
WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?
HOW ABOUT IT BEING SO COLD YOUR NOSE HAIRS FREEZE?
HOW WAS YOUR RIDE?
IT WAS FINE.
ARE YOU LIMPING?
NO.
WELL... YEAH.
(SIGHS) WE WERE OUT RIDING
AND THERE WAS THIS TREE LYING ACROSS TRAIL...
WELL, MORE LIKE A BRANCH...
AND HE JUST STOPPED AND I WENT FLYING.
YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
WELL, A GUY FROM BLACKHILLS RANCH JUST CALLED.
HE SAID HE'S GOT A HORSE THAT WON'T LOAD.
SO I TOLD HIM BRING HIM BY TOMORROW.
TOMORROW? GREAT.
IS THAT A PROBLEM?
NO. (SIGHS)
JUST THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH SPARTAN FOR DAYS
AND I CAN'T EVEN FIX HIM.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIX SOMEONE ELSE'S HORSE?
WHAT'S GOING ON, AMY?
I DON'T KNOW! I TOLD YOU,
HE JUST... HE'S JUST AFRAID TO JUMP!
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT SPARTAN.
WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
I SAW YOU IN THE RING THE OTHER DAY.
YOU WERE TENSING UP, LEANING BACK IN YOUR SADDLE,
JERKING YOUR REINS LIKE YOU WERE IN ANOTHER WORLD.
I WAS NOT LEANING BACK IN MY SADDLE,
AND I WAS DEFINITELY NOT JERKING MY REINS.
OKAY? SPARTAN'S JUST FREAKED OUT
BECAUSE WES WALKED IN HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
AND HE STOLE HIM
WHILE YOU WERE ASLEEP UPSTAIRS!
TY, I'M SO...
I DIDN'T MEAN IT.
SEE, GRAMPA,
YOU'VE GOTTA KNOW YOUR TARGET MARKET.
SO FAR, I'VE SENT BROCHURES TO TRAVEL AGENCIES,
TOURISM OFFICES, AND CORPORATIONS.
HOW ABOUT THE RUSSIAN LAPLANDERS?
I HEAR THEY REALLY LIKE THE COLD.
HA HA.
(PHONE RINGS)
HELLO?
YES, WE DO HAVE AN AVAILABILITY THIS WEEKEND.
MOUNTAIN DIRECT.
OKAY, UH...
ALL OF THE CABINS? THAT'S NO PROBLEM.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GIVE ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
AND I CAN SEND YOU OFF A QUOTE.
PRICE IS NOT AN ISSUE?
OKAY THEN, WE'LL SEE YOU FRIDAY.
GREAT.

I THOUGHT I'D LUNGE HARLEY FOR A BIT FIRST.

I WAS WONDERING IF MAYBE
I COULD TAKE SPARTAN TO SEE VICTOR?
(RATCHET CLATTERS)
NO, I DON'T THINK THAT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA.
WHY NOT?
WELL, FOR STARTERS YOU'RE STILL GROUNDED.
WELL, YOU COULD ALWAYS GROUND ME FOR ANOTHER WEEK
AT THE END OF MY SENTENCE.
GRAMPA, I'M ALL CAUGHT UP ON MY HOMEWORK.
WELL, MIRACLES ABOUND.
SO, CAN I GO?
I DON'T WANT YOU DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS

I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I KNOW TO TRY AND FIX SPARTAN.

YOU HAVE TO CALL HIM FIRST,

HE MIGHT BE... I ALREADY DID.
HE'S EXPECTING ME TOMORROW.
LOU: TOMORROW! AMY, YOU CAN'T.
WE HAVE A HUGE CORPORATE BOOKING!
NO, YOU HAVE A CORPORATE BOOKING, LOU!
I AM GOING TO VICTOR.
THAT'S JUST GREAT.
AND WHO IS GOING TO TAKE MY GUESTS
ON TRAIL RIDES!
AMY: I DON'T KNOW,
GET TY AND HIS GIRLFRIEND TO DO IT.
LOU: GRAMPA, TALK TO HER!
OH, IT MIGHT DO HER GOOD TO GET AWAY FOR AWHILE.
GET AWAY FROM WHAT?
(SIGHS)
AMY: HOW WELL DID MOM KNOW VICTOR?
JACK: WELL, LIKE I SAID, THEY WERE FRIENDS.
AMY: BUT, GOOD FRIENDS OR...?
JACK: YEAH, I GUESS.
AMY: SO HOW COME SHE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT HIM?
JACK: OH, SHE DID.
SHE ALWAYS SPOKE VERY HIGHLY OF HIM, TOO.
YOU WERE PROBABLY JUST TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER.
SO, WHY DID THEY STOP BEING FRIENDS?
WELL, LIFE JUST HAS A WAY OF MOVING ON, AMY.
PEOPLE DRIFT APART.
LOU: HEY.

(HALF LAUGHS) OKAY, THANK YOU.

I DON'T THINK YOU DO.
NO, UH, PETER, I'M ACTUALLY, I'M SERIOUS.
THEY BOOKED EVERY CABIN.

THAT WAS QUITE THE ENTRANCE.
YEAH. I JUST... I COULDN'T WAIT FOR YOU
TO SEE THE PLACE.
SO, UH... WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IT'S VERY NICE.
VERY NICE.
AND DARK.
THAT WAY IT'S MORE ROMANTIC WHEN WE LIGHT THE FIRE.
OH...
CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT.
(HALF LAUGHS) ME TOO.
SO, I'M GONNA LET YOU GET SETTLED.
SETTLED?
MM-HM. I'M SETTLED.
LOU: (HALF LAUGHS) OH, I NEED TO GO
AND TELL MY, UH, MY RANCH HAND
THAT I WON'T BE NEEDING ALL THOSE TRAIL HORSES.
WELL, WE'LL NEED A COUPLE. RIGHT?
YOU WANNA GO RIDE?
YEAH. I'LL COME HELP YOU.
NO! NO.
YOU CAN STAY HERE AND LIGHT THE FIRE.
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO LIGHT A FIRE?
OH, I THINK SO.
OKAY. MUAH!
WELL, I WILL BE RIGHT BACK.
AND YOU JUST DON'T...
GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT ME, 'KAY?
JUST STAY. YEAH.
OH MY GOD.
TY: HOW'RE YOU DOING?
KIT: ALMOST DONE.
(PANTING)
TY: YOU OKAY?
LOU: (PANTING) I JUST JOGGED FROM THE DUDE RANCH.
UM, TURNS OUT I WON'T BE NEEDING YOUR SERVICES
AFTER ALL.
THERE'S ONLY ONE GUEST.
I THOUGHT YOU SAID THE CABINS WERE BOOKED.
YEAH, YEAH, THEY ARE. HE'S A...
HE'S A VERY PRIVATE PERSON.
SO... I'LL TAKE THOSE TWO.
OH, UM...
HE DOESN'T WANT ANYONE ELSE AROUND.
SO, JUST STAY AWAY FROM THE DUDE RANCH, AND...
AND MAKE SURE YOU TELL MALLORY.
TY AND KIT: OKAY.
LOU: THANKS, SWEETIE.
ALL RIGHT.
(HORSES NICKER)
LOOKS LIKE WE GOT
A LITTLE FREE TIME ON OUR HANDS.
UM... ACTUALLY, I WAS THINKING
ABOUT WORKING WITH HARLEY FOR A BIT.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S ONLY ONE THING THAT I LIKE MORE
THAN WATCHING A COWBOY BREAK A HORSE...
HELPING HIM BREAK A HORSE.
(LAUGHS)
(SPARTAN GRUNTS)
(SIGHS)
SEE? I...
I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
HE USUALLY LOVES TO JUMP.
(SPARTAN WHINNIES LIGHTLY)
I DON'T KNOW WHY HE WON'T.
THERE'S AN OLD INDIAN SAYING...
YOU CAN'T KNOW A HORSE'S HEART
UNTIL YOU'VE WALKED A FEW MILES
IN HIS HORSESHOES.
WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GO FOR A WALK.
(WITH A LAUGH) WE JUST GOT HERE.
CAN I BORROW THAT? YOUR WATCH.
SURE.
YOU GOT A CELL PHONE?
YEAH.
CAN I BORROW THAT, TOO?
OKAY.
HORSES DON'T KNOW THAT BETWEEN THE RISING
AND THE SETTING OF GRANDFATHER SUN,
THERE'S THIS LITTLE THING WE HUMANS CALL "TIME."
(SPARTAN NICKERS)
COMING?
KIT: SO, YOU JUST TIE A NICE, SOFT COTTON ROPE AROUND HIM,
SO IT WON'T BURN HIM OR CUT HIM.
HERE YOU GO. GOOD BOY.
AND NOW,
WE HAVE CONTROL OF HIM.
SO WE CAN SACK HIM OUT,
PUT A SADDLE ON HIM,
DO WHATEVER WE WANT,
AND HE CAN'T KICK US OR RUN AWAY.
SEEMS KIND OF CRUEL, DON'T YOU THINK?
WELL, IT'S ONLY CRUEL
IF THE PERSON DOING THE TYING
DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
I DON'T KNOW, IT JUST...
FEELS WEIRD.
'CAUSE IT'S NOT AMY'S WAY.
NO, IT'S JUST...
AH... I CAN'T DO THIS.
FINE.
YOU DO IT HER WAY.
VICTOR: SO YOU AND YOUR MOM RESCUED THIS...
WHAT'S HIS NAME?
SPARTAN.
RIGHT, SPARTAN.
...FROM THIS GUY.
AMY: YEAH.
IT WAS PRETTY STORMY THAT NIGHT AND...
WELL...
WE JUST KINDA, YOU KNOW...
SPARTAN MUST BE PRETTY SPECIAL TO YOU?
YEAH.
MUST'VE BEEN PRETTY SCARY
WHEN HE WAS STOLEN FROM YOU?
SO, HE'S A JUMPER.
YEAH. I STARTED ENTERING HIM IN COMPETITIONS LAST YEAR.
TY WAS MY COACH.
WE ACTUALLY, WE WON THE FALL FINALE.
WHO'S TY?
HE'S JUST A FRIEND.
HE STILL YOUR COACH?
NO.
(TIGHT INHALE) NO,
I'VE JUST BEEN KINDA BUSY WITH SCHOOL
AND WITH OTHER HORSES.
AND ON TOP OF IT ALL,
OUR STABLE-HAND JUST LEFT FOR THE RODEO CIRCUIT, SO...
SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT A LOT OF BANNOCK
ON YOUR PLATE.
AMY: YEAH, WELL...
IT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS, I GUESS.
(EXHALES FORCEFULLY)
SO...
WHAT'S YOUR PLAN WITH SPARTAN?
DON'T HAVE ONE.
BET THIS RIVER DOESN'T HAVE A PLAN, EITHER.
HM. I BET IT DOESN'T SIT AROUND
WONDERING WHERE IT CAME FROM
OR WHERE IT'S GOING.
IT JUST KIND OF GOES WITH THE FLOW.
MAY BE A GOOD THING FOR US TWO-LEGGEDS
TO LEARN FROM THAT RIVER, EH?
(RIVER FLOWS CALMLY)
(APPROACHING RUMBLE OF TRUCK)
EASY.
THERE YOU GO.
HOW GOES THE BATTLE TODAY?
HE STILL WON'T LISTEN TO ME.
WELL, WHAT'RE YOU TRYING TO TELL HIM?
IT'S NO USE, JACK.
HE'S NOT GONNA BE BROKE BY THE TIME SHE GETS BACK.
WHO?
OH.
I JUST WANTED TO...
IMPRESS HER?
NO, I...
(HARLEY GRUNTS AND SNORTS)
(SIGHS) WELL... MAYBE, YEAH.
THING ABOUT BREAKIN' A HORSE, TY,
IS IF YOU GO AT IT LIKE YOU GOT 15 MINUTES,
IT'LL TAKE YOU ALL DAY.
BUT IF YOU GO AT IT LIKE YOU GOT ALL DAY?
WELL, IT'LL TAKE YOU 15 MINUTES.
YOU HEAR THAT, HARLEY?
WE GOT ALL DAY, BUDDY.

I BELIEVE I STILL LIVE HERE,
UNLESS YOU'VE BOOKED OUT MY ROOM.
I JUST, UM, I WASN'T EXPECTING YOU UNTIL LATER.
TY SAID TOLD ME THAT ONLY ONE GUEST ARRIVED.
YEAH. AND HE RENTED OUT ALL THE CABINS TOO.
LOU: HE WANTS, UM, TOTAL AND UTTER PRIVACY, SO...
NOT ANOTHER CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT.
NO, NO. NOTHING LIKE THAT.
UM, BUT IF YOU GUYS
COULD JUST STAY AWAY FROM THE DUDE RANCH,
THAT'D BE GREAT.
FINE BY ME.
THAT'S WEIRD,
WHY DOES HE WANT "TOTAL AND UTTER PRIVACY?"
I DON'T KNOW, MALLORY.
SOME PEOPLE JUST LIKE THE PEACE AND QUIET, OKAY?
I MEAN, I KNOW THAT'S HARD FOR YOU TO COMPREHEND,
BUT IT DOES HAPPEN.
WHAT IF HE'S ANOTHER OIL SLICK
PRETENDING TO BE NICE,
BUT REALLY HE'S JUST DRILLING ON JACK'S LAND?

IT'S MY FATHER-IN-LAW. IT'S OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
NO, SURE, I CAN DEFINITELY TAKE MAX FOR THE WEEKEND.
CAN YOU JUST PACK UP HIS STUFF FOR ME

I DON'T KNOW, I...
I'M JUST SAYING THAT MAYBE... (BOOKS CLATTER)

YOU MEAN DIED?
NO SUCH THING AS DEATH, MY GIRL.
JUST, UH, A CONTINUATION OF SPIRIT.
A CHANGE OF WORLDS.

UH, WE'D BE HERE A LIFETIME
IF I SHARED WITH YOU ALL THE TEACHINGS
MY MOSHUM SHARED WITH ME.
I'LL JUST GIVE YOU THE COLES NOTES VERSION.
THERE ARE FOUR DIRECTIONS, RIGHT?
RIGHT.
VICTOR: THE EAST, SOUTH,
THE WEST, THE NORTH.
OKAY, SO ROOTED IN THOSE FOUR DIRECTIONS
ARE THE FOUR ASPECTS OF SELF:
OUR EMOTIONS,
PHYSICAL BODY,
MIND AND SPIRIT.
TRICKIEST PART IS KEEPING THEM ALL BALANCED.
IF ONE SIDE OF THE WHEEL IS OUT,
ALL SIDES ARE OUT AND WE END UP

THEN WE CAN CONNECT WITH OTHERS

UP HERE,
SHE WAS ABLE TO QUIET HER MIND

SHE LEARNED THE ANSWERS WERE INSIDE OF HER.
NOT OUT THERE SOMEWHERE, BUT IN HERE.
