(amy): Previously on heartland.
- I was thinking of maybe going rafting?
- Yeah. Yeah, sure. (screams)
- You shouldn't have been out there rafting at all,
Not without your mom's permission. - What?
- The new me, lou.
I just want to travel the world
And follow my passion, which is photography.
- If you have any more work, just let me know.
- I think that might be a bit of a long house call from saskatchewan.
- Actually, I'm thinking about sticking around for a little bit,
Keep an eye on my grandpa.
- Well, in that case, I'll definitely throw some work your way.
- Thanks.
(chuckling)
(whistling)
- Yup! - Ah, come on!
- Get up there! - Hup! (mooing)
- Yeah. - Whoa.
(whistling)
(mooing) (jack): Get up, cow, get up there!
(whistling)
- Come on!
- Tim, look at this.
These cows are eating this field bare.
- What, are you crazy? It's fine.
- It's time to switch things up.
We'll get some extra hands and move them up to summer pasture.
- No, no, we're not hiring extra hands.
There's tons of grass here.
- You and your bottom line,
You think I don't know what's best for my cows?
- Oh, you know what I think? I think the worrying's getting worse with age.
And besides, they're our cows.
- Yeah, well, the way you're talking, it won't be for much longer.
- Oh, rick, you should have sent all of this to me digitally over the long weekend,
I could have handled it.
- It was only a long weekend for you
While I had to suffer through being a meager stand-in
At the women's league dinner.
- I promise I will go to the next one.
Can't a mayor work remotely sometimes?
Wait a minute, is that...
- Yes.
- Rick! - Unfortunately.
- Oh!
- And I was the one taking care of these cows
While you were off skipping around the world with your wife.
- Oh, you're still clinging to that, after two years.
And we weren't skipping.
(phone ringing) - it's lou.
Lou, I'm in the middle of something, can I...
Is that a fact?
Oh.
All right, then.
Yeah, thanks for calling.
- What is it now?
- We just...
Won hudson's entrepreneur of the year award for heartland beef.
(laughing) - it's about time!
- Time? What time is it? Giddy-up!
- We're gonna celebrate when I get back!

- Rick, I thought that we finalized this budget on our Friday video call.
- You did, but after you logged off,
More issues arose, and speaking of,
Let's discuss your dad and grandad
Winning hudson's highest honour.
- It's amazing, right?
- Lou, it reeks of favoritism,
Nepotism, insider voting, everything.
Your hands are getting really dirty in this.
- Rick, the mayor doesn't even choose who wins.
I mean, the small business bureau does.
- Right, but do you think the average hudsonite knows that?
No.
They just see the mayor's family cleaning up our town's awards.
- People are not that cynical, okay? (phone ringing)
- They are. - You are.
Oh, it's georgie.
Hi, sweetie. - Hey, mom.
- How's training going?
- Good, it's daunting, the next show is super important.
(rick sighs) - oh, good.
You're gonna do great, don't worry. How's quinn?
- Good.
- Good boy. - The usual, uh?
I think you've been back in town way longer if that's your order at maggie's.
- I've been back for a few weeks.
- What happened, finn?
You left months ago with no explanation
After I set you up with all my clients? Uh...
How do you think that made me look?
I vouch for you and you didn't show up for their appointments?
I lost business.
- I had family obligations, okay?
- Then why didn't you just call and say that?
- I don't have to explain myself to you.
(neighing)
- Whoa, you're okay.
- I got him.
(softly): Yeah.
- Hi. - So what's all this?
- Well, I was thinking we should have a celebratory dinner
In honour of your award
And eat outside at the picnic table.
(chuckling) the whole deal, eh?
- You don't have to do anything.
- Well, I have been eating hotel food for weeks
And I'm longing to make a home-cooked meal,
And what more perfect reason, hum?
- Yeah. (tim): Hey!
Hi, look who I found. - Hi!
- Well, fred! What brings you by?
- Well, lou called me this morning, told me the good news about your award.
- Isn't it fabulous? - It really is.
So, I came by to get your approval on something.
- Approval? On what?
- Well, this entrepreneur award
Fits perfectly with what garland foods is all about,
So the company went all out.
We're hoping to put that in tomorrow's calgary paper, a full-page ad.
- That's one of jess's photos. - Yeah, from the ad campaign she did for us.
- I love this.
I mean, not just because my wife took the photo, but...
Look, look how much younger I am with jack around my side.
(chuckling) - okay. (lisa): Stop it!
- So, jack, will you sign off on this?
- Well, this gets pride a place, now.
It's perfect.
- So good. - Lisa?
- Thank you so much.
- All right, all right. - A couple more?
- No, no, that's all right. (chuckling)
- And the rosemary's from the garden, everybody.
- Well, I would like to say
Cheers to the entrepreneurs of the year.
We couldn't be prouder of you both.
- Hear, hear.
- Well, thank you. - Cheers.
- Speaking of which, you both have to come up with a speech for the award ceremony.
- Oh, man, I don't envy you guys.
I mean, I'd... I'd freeze right up.
I mean, I'm terrified of speeches. - Really?
Well, I'd like to say something right now.
Fred,
Thank you for all your support.
You know, it has allowed our business to grow into...
Well, a success and...
And as far as I'm concerned,
This award is just as much yours as it is mine or tim's.
- Oh, mainly ours. (laughing)
- Congratulations, honey.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Congrats. - Cheers.
(chuckling) - thank you.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Honey, would you pass me the bread?
- So, where did you get off to earlier?
- Finn cotter's, actually. - Really?
- Turns out he's back in town.
- Is that right? - Mm-hmm.
- Well, I hope you told him how much of a mess he made for you.
- I tried...
He didn't really seem to listen.
- I'm not surprised.
You can't rely on that family, amy.
If finn is anything like his grandad,
He's not worth your anger or your time; I'd just walk away.
(knocking on door)
- Hey, just wanted to say good night.
- Oh, I spoke to your sister today.
(phone notification) she has a big show coming up.
Well, summer is full of them, and I was thinking...
You and I should take a trip down to florida and go watch her jump.
You know, surprise her.
What do you think?
- Uh... Well,
I was thinking and...
I'd like to stay here this summer.
You know, be with friends,
Maybe even make a little money at a summer job,
Have some independence.
- You really think you're getting more independence after that rafting stunt?
- Mom, I made a mistake, okay?
We can't all be perfect. - Who's perfect?
- No one. (sighs)
I'm just saying,
I'd really love to have a typical teenage summer,
Please.
- Okay, I will consider it.
- Okay. Thank you, good night.
- Good night.
- Yes, of course, I'm in!
Thank you.
You will not regret this!
Okay, okay, bye!
- So, how was your photography workshop?
- Oh, it was amazing.
Ezra just made me the craziest proposition.
- Oh, I'm not sure I like the sound of that.
- He is giving me a chance to show my work
In a gallery in new york.
- Oh, that's very generous of him.
- Oh, would you stop?
This is huge. This means that I can go back to manhattan
As a real photographer.
I've got to get everything printed and framed and then,
I've got to get everything shipped and I...
- Okay, okay, slow down! All right, all right!
- ...Some photos! (deep exhale)
- Slow down, just enjoy the moment.
I'm proud of you, I'm so proud of you.
- Oh, and...
I am proud of you.
Mister entrepreneur of the year?
Congratulations. - Oh...
Well, it looks like we both have something to celebrate tonight.
- We do! (turns up the volume)
♪ baby don't go come and get close ♪
(tim): Come here!
♪ while the night is young... ♪
(sighs) - what are we doing?
- I thought about what you said.
You want a typical teenage summer complete with a crummy job?
Here it is.
- That is so not what I meant.
- Look, waitressing at maggie's is a rite of passage for a fleming morris girl.
I did it, georgie did it,
Now, it's your turn. - I'm not georgie, mom.
- You want independence, earn it.
Work where I can keep an eye on you.
- I got your message. What's up?
- You know the horse from yesterday? Tucker?
You saw him freak out.
He hasn't stopped.
I need your help.
It's my grandpa's horse,
And I promised I would shoe him.
- So, now, you follow through on your promises?
I'm here, I'll take a look at him.
- Thanks.
- Can... Can I help you with something?
- Timbo fleming.
Found you at last.
- So, mike, you knew tim from the oil field days, how long ago is that?
- Oh, longer than I'd like to admit.
Tim was my foreman,
But we were close, eh, tim?
Brothers, I like to think.
- So, that's quite the ride you got out there mike.
- My retirement present to myself, I call her the beast.
(chuckling) we've travelled all over the country together, her and I.
- How'd you find me?
- Kismet.
I was in a calgary diner this morning,
Picked up a paper and boom,
There was timbo's face. - Oh.
- Hudson's entrepreneur of the year!
(chuckling)
After all these years of trying to track you down.
You talk about science.
So, I jumped in the beast...
And we drove.
Only took a few asks around town to get me here.
- Oh, man, it was... It was good of you to stop by.
- Mm.
Yeah, I should probably get going.
- Oh, well, don't be silly, you'll stay for dinner at least, no?
- Well, it's not every day we get to meet an old friend of tim's,
Or even a friend.
(chuckling)
- How about it, timbo?
Is there a seat around your table for old mike mclusky?
- Get up. (tongue clicks)
Well, he moves nice, he's not in any physical pain.
It must be a behavioural issue.
I mean, it could be that dark crammed barn
That you want to shoe him in. That would scare any horse.
- He's always been calm, he's never acted like this.
- Okay.
Why don't you come and lift up his foot?
We'll see if he'll go through the motions.
(neighing)
Whoa, easy.
You must have done something to...
Make him seem like he's afraid of you.
- So, I'm the problem now?
Great.
Now what?
- You either find another farrier or you figure out what the issue is between you two.
I got to get home to my daughter.
Call me when you make a decision... Or don't.
You know,
I'm the one who's allowed to be angry here, finn, okay?
So, I have no idea why you think you have the right to be.
- Oh, my gosh. - Oh!
- I'm so sorry, I...
- I got this.
- Hey. - Well...
Now I know what your text meant.
(chuckling)
So, is this like a permanent thing?
- Well, for me and for you.
Maggie's needs two wait staff this summer.
- What? No. I don't have any experience.
- You think I do? Come on, I kind of have a big in with the manager.
(chuckling)
(man): Pfft! Can you believe that?
- Look, I'm staying at hudson this summer and...
And all I want is for the two of us to just have fun together, you know?
Be normal, be friends, it's important to me.
- Well, my resume is up to date.
- Yes! Oh my gosh, this is gonna be so much fun. (chuckling)
- And safer than white water rafting.
- Well, you haven't seen the kitchen yet.
(chuckling)
(horse neighing)
- What are you doing here, finn?
- Good boy, good boy. (horse snorting)
I don't want him to look at another farrier.
I can do this, despite what you might think.
I don't like walking away from responsibility. Whoa.
- Okay.
Then, we need to get tucker used to you again.
Hey...
All right, come on in.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Be a good boy, tucker. It's okay.
That's it, it's okay.
(softly): Shh... Shh...
- How's he doing? - Good.
- Good boy. - Think that has done the trick?
- Well, definitely went better than I expected, I'm kind of surprised.
- Maybe...
Maybe you're just really good at your job, you ever think of that?
- Wow, it's the first nice thing you've said to me.
- I knew I came back for a reason.
- Why did you come back, finn?
- My grandpa's sick...
And he needs me more than ever.
He's really the only family I have, so...
- You said that you went back to kindersley because of family.
- Yeah, I do have family there,
It's just... It's different, okay?
- I'm gonna keep working with him for a while, alone,
And I'll...
I'll give you a call tomorrow.
- Okay.
I'll see you soon.
(laughing)
- Now... Now, tim and I can't carry a note in a bucket,
But after a few, uh... Beverages,
We convinced ourselves that the open mic night would be our big break, uh?
And actually... Actually, we made quite a chunk of change that night, didn't we?
- And ended up winning the contest?
(chuckling) - oh, no, no, no.
People paid us to get off stage.
(laughing)
But... But tim was a star in other ways.
And he clearly achieved his biggest goal...
Doing right by the two of you.
You were all that he talked about up north.
How he couldn't wait to get back to you, make you proud.
You know, it really warms my heart
To see that you were able to mend what was broken.
- All right, enough about me.
(chuckling)
- Did you just hear him say that? That is a first.
(laughing)
- Well, that was one mighty fine meal.
Hey, sorry if I told any tim tales out of school.
- No, I love it.
It's nice to get the goods on your significant other.
- I wouldn't know.
Never been married, sad to say.
So, uh... You're from the big apple, eh?
That city's always been on my bucket list.
- Ah, there's nowhere like it.
I'm actually doing a photography exhibit there soon, which I'm really excited about.
That photo that you saw on the cover of the newspaper,
I took that. - Wow!
Well, you must be very talented if you made tim look that good.
- Yeah. (laughing)
- Hey, how about this?
This was before I had a limp
And before tim had style. - Oh!
Boy!
(chuckling) - oh.
- I barely recognize the guy, now.
(laughing) - oh! Look at that hair!
I am glad that I didn't meet you then. (laughing)
- No, give that back to him. - That is sexy. That's very sexy.
- So, mike, are you... Are you leaving in the morning? - Uh...
- Well, there's no need to rush out on us,
You stay as long as you like. (chuckling)
- Don't tempt me, jack. (laughing)
- You were quiet at dinner.
- Yeah, 'cause it was a mike show.
- Ah, come on, he was having fun.
(spits) he means well.
- Jess, those days...
...That mike was talking about,
They weren't fun for me.
I was deep into drinking and drugs and...
- Well, he clearly hero worships you.
- Yeah, well, mike's glory days are not mine.
Those are days I'd rather forget.
- I understand.
I saw the haircut.
(chuckling)
♪♪
- Well, you bet! Tim and I will be there.
(chuckling) no, thank you.
- Hey.
What happened to mike? Did he leave?
- No, no, he just went into town to get some groceries.
He says he doesn't want to mooch off of us which is ridiculous.
You and I, we have an interview with the hudson times
Ahead of the award ceremony.
They want to do that tomorrow, first thing down at maggie's.
- Can't argue with that.
- And I booked those hired hands.
- I can argue with that, jack.
- Tim, I said I want to move the herd and I'm gonna.
I won't accept an award on behalf of our company
When we're mishandling our land.
- You're overreacting. - And you're on edge.
You have been ever since mike got here.
Why is that?
(sighs)
- Everybody wants this to be a warm and fuzzy reunion...
It's not for me.
- Yeah, I know. (sighs)
It's hard to look back on times you regret,
But I also know
That revisiting those tough moments, that can be healing too.
- Well, I've healed up just fine, thanks.
- Mike's alone, tim.
All he's got is that rv and his memories.
Here we are, a big family,
What's wrong with opening the door
And sharing that for a while?

(whinnying) - whoa.
Good boy.
- Well, you thought it was too easy and you were right.
He reacts every time I strike the shoe.
- Well, that noise is a definite trigger.
Come here. Okay.
It's like he associates that banging with what comes next.
You never... Hurt him by accident, did you?
- No, never.
- Okay. Who did his feet while you were gone?
- Uh... Grandpa's buddy.
He's retired, but he helps him out sometimes.
Don... Don something. - Don bowman?
- Yeah, mm-hmm.
- Brutal bowman. (sighs)
He's an old-school farrier with a bad rep for being...
Rough.
- So, you think he hurt tucker? - Possible.
- That means I'm not the problem, then?
- Mm... Shockingly, no.
(chuckling) - well, thank you for that.
So, what do you want to do?
- Well, if tucker got hurt the last time,
He's probably afraid it will happen again.
We have to show him that when this process is done right, it's painless.
- Do you think we'll get somewhere with this?
- Well, now that we know what the real problem is...
Yeah, I think so.
- Okay.
(knocking on door)
- Hey. - Hey.
- I don't drink anymore, but... That doesn't have to stop you.
(chuckling) - all right, well...
(laughing) the beauty of the beast...
You bring your living room with you.
- Oh. (chuckling) - here you go.
Let me get a glass. - Okay.
- How's that leg holding up, mike?
- It doesn't. (chuckling)
No, that's just... I have some bad days is all.
- I... I'm sorry I was so cold when you...
When you first arrived here, I--
I just didn't know how to be.
- It was a surprise, I get it.
- Well, you always were great at making an entrance, right? Mclotsky?
(laughing)
- Well, now that takes me back. - Right?
(laughing)
How did you come up with that again?
- That was the... I remember the bar and there were stairs...
- And the sled. - The sled! (laughing)
- So much of that is a fog to me, now.
- Oh, it's all a fog.
- Man, we had some crazy times.
- Did we ever. - I miss it.
Lot of people fall away as you get older.
Life gets... A bit lonelier day by day.
- Well, we're here now.
- Yeah, but we are here now, eh?
Ready to pull another classic tim-mike all-nighter, what do you say?
- No! I got to get up early in the morning;
Jack and I have an important interview. - Ah.
- So...
- Well, you always did love that spotlight.
- What can I say? It finds me. (laughing)
- It does that, that...
Hey listen, here's to you, timbo,
And that big award.
It's what brought me back into your life.
You have no idea how grateful I am for that.
- Good night.
(knocking on door) - hi.
- Hey, you're headed to bed?
- Yeah. Uh...
But I need to talk to you first.
- Sure.
- I've... I've noticed a couple things...
At maggie's. I mean...
Customers are acting all weird around me
And I even heard a few complaining...
...Um, about...
How you're never around
And how you're only back for this award thing
Because you... Rigged it.
- Okay. Customers, like how many exactly?
- I don't know, a few.
They just... They don't sound happy with you, mom.
- Okay.
One of the hardest things I've learned as mayor is
You can't make everyone happy.
There's always gonna be a few people who are determined to be upset and...
It sounds like that's all this is.
- It just feels like more than that.
- You're starting to sound like rick.
Is he paying you or is this just your way of getting back at me for sticking you at maggie's?
- Why can't you take me seriously?
- What?
Katie... Katie?
(sighs)
- You two sound like a great team.
(chuckling)
- What are you doing here?
- Just grabbing a coffee. I don't want to interrupt.
- Oh...
This is one of my oldest friends, mike mclusky.
- Hudson has a real hero in timbo here. - Hum.
- You know, he even saved my life, one time. - Really?
- Yeah. - I'd love to hear the story.
- Yeah, I think we all would.
- Well...
I worked on tim's crew in the oil fields.
One time, I was digging a trench in the reservoir,
And me being a dumb, klutzy kid,
I got down into it though it wasn't stable.
Well, sure enough,
The trench collapses on me,
Buries me alive.
I thought it was the end...
Until tim rescued me.
Jumped on a backhoe and dug me out.
I'll admit, it wasn't pretty,
Tore my leg up pretty bad...
But I owe that man my life.
He stepped up, no hesitation.
- Wow, uh...
I hope we're on the record.
This would be an incredible add to the article.
- Of course, I... (chuckling)
I'd shout it from the rooftops if I could.
- How is it that you have never shared that story?
- It was a long time ago.
(sighs)
- You like that in there?
We both know I could have told the whole story, but I didn't.
I will, though.
I'm gonna blow the lid off the whole thing at your award ceremony.
It's time to... Collect on old debts, timbo...
Or else I'm taking you down.

I haven't nailed my speech yet for tonight.
Hey, maybe we oughta compare notes,
Make sure we're not saying the same thing.
- Jack, your speech's gonna have to cover it.
I decided I'm not gonna accept that award.
- Good boy.
Thanks for everything... Again.
- It wasn't all me.
I mean, despite everything, you're a pretty good farrier.
- Right, despite everything. (clearing throat)
Well, have fun at the award thing, tonight.
I'm sure your grandpa's gonna steal the show.

- Be right back.
- What's wrong?
(sighs) - this is officially serious.
(sighs)
- Howdy! - Hello, mike!
- Another beautiful day in paradise. - Oh, can't argue that.
(sigh)
Why would you turn down this award?
This is a big deal for all of us!
- Yeah, I know it is...
But I don't want it.
I don't deserve it. - Come on!
This, from a guy who... Who saved another man's life.
- Truth? I almost killed him.
- What?
- That trench accident, I was in charge....
But I was coming down from a big night...
Drugs, booze...
Hungover and not paying attention.
Mike went into that trench on my order.
It collapsed.
(exhales deeply)
It just about broke every bone in his body digging him out.
And then, he covered for me.
Went to the boss, told him it was his mistake...
Because he knew how important that job was for me.
- Sounds like a good friend.
- He was a great friend, jack...
...But he's changed.
Now, he wants payback.
- What do you mean?
- He's blackmailing me.
- So, what does he want?
- A cut of our profits... (jack scoffs)
...Indefinitely.
Jack, if I don't give mike what he wants,
He's gonna go to the papers, tell the story.
I always knew that that day was gonna come back to haunt me...
And now, it has.
- So, own the mistake, then.
Don't run from it.
You know, my father, he always doubted if I could run this ranch,
But this award, it proves that I can, better than he did.
This is a victory...
And it's the same for you.
We built something, tim,
Despite all the bad guys who tried to hold us back in the past,
We made it, in spite of that.
- Except I was the bad guy in my past.
- Yeah, that may be...
...But you've moved beyond him.
(sighs) - I'm so sorry, mom.
- No, I'm sorry, I should have listened to you, to both of you.
This is a disaster.
- You'll fix it, right? (sighs)
- Fred? Hi. I have an idea.
Uh... How about you give my speech tonight?
You know, present the award to my dad and grandpa?
- Come on, lou. (chuckling)
No, I told you, I'd freeze.
Besides, isn't it tradition?
- Traditions are overrated.
- Yeah, and you know what? I saved your life before,
How about you save mine? (chuckling)
- Look, you... You put me on that stage and I'll die again, I...
(lou sighs)
(sighs)
- I can't believe I have to give this speech to a town...
(indistinct conversation)
- You're really gonna play man of the year, uh?
You know it's only gonna make things worse in the end.
- What happened to you, mike?
- What happened? Life happened.
Take a look around, tim.
Does this seem fair to you? You almost killed me.
You still get everything and I get nothing?
- I don't have any control over your life.
- Maybe not,
But that accident changed me,
And now, it's gonna change you.
- All right.
You give me tonight...
And I'll deal with your demands.
(clears throat) - welcome, everyone. Hello.
Uh...
It is tradition for the mayor to present tonight's award...
Uh, but I'm aware now that many of you see a conflict of interest,
And I could tell you that I have been working non-stop behind the scenes for hudson,
But it won't matter because... I haven't been showing you,
But that's going to change...
Starting today.
Now, I would like to welcome two hudsonites
That we can all agree we're proud to call ours.
Awarded entrepreneurs of the year for heartland beef...
Jack bartlett and tim fleming.
(applause)
(lisa): Go get them, cowboy.
- Well...
Uh... Good evening.
Now, uh...
It took a little longer than I'd like to admit
To find the right words for tonight but...
But in the end, they're just like my business partner here had hoped they'd be,
Short and sweet.
You know,
As a cowboy,
I've won my fair share of awards and buckles...
But this hits different,
Because it's not about a few seconds in my prime,
This is about a dream that was built over decades
And I really appreciate you all for recognizing that.
(applause)
- The hudson times called me a hero today,
But I'm here to tell you I'm... I'm no hero.
I made a lot of mistakes,
And I carry a lot of guilt.
I've had to recover from a couple of addictions
That influenced my choices.
Many years ago, on a job site, I nearly killed that man,
Right there.
His name is mike mclusky.
Mike...
I've never been able to forgive myself
For the permanent injuries I caused you,
But I had to make a decision,
Had to stop running from it,
That I needed to own it, to learn from it.
So I've worked hard...
...Worked hard to learn how to make good choices,
And I'm here to tell you tonight that the best choice that I've made...
Was coming back home to my family and this town...
Hudson, this town I love.
Thank you all.
(applause)
Care about what you said up there? (chuckling)
I'm still going to the press, tim. I'm still making you pay.
- Yeah, I doubt that.
You don't have the spine, do you?
You still got a lot of life to live with yourself, mike,
Don't you think it'll be a little easier
If you liked what you saw in the mirror?
We all get dealt tough hands
And we deal with it.
Tim's come clean now, so you don't have any more cards to play.
I'd say it's time for you and that junker rv to get off my property.
- You always did have the luck, eh, timbo?
(chuckling)
One day, it'll run out.
- Well, you showed up.
- I did...
To tell you something.
I wasn't lying, amy.
I did have family stuff back home,
But I also knew that you'd have to clean up the mess I made when I left.
The more time that passed, the more awkward it got to call...
And explain and...
- You didn't need to explain, finn, I...
I just wanted an apology.
- I'm genuinely sorry, amy.
- Thank you.
- I should go.
Good night, amy.
- Good night.
- This is a disaster.
- If you live up to the promises you made tonight,
Hudson may forgive and forget,
And hopefully before the election. - Yeah.
(phone ringing) - oh...
(clears throat) quinn, hi, I'm sorry, it's not a good time...
What?
Oh, my god, is she... Is she okay?
No, no, no, I'm... I'm on the first flight out.
Yeah. I'll call you back on the way to the airport.
- Oh, my... Lou, what's happening?
- Georgie had an accident during her show
And she's in the hospital, unconscious.
- Lou, I'm... I'm so sorry. What should I do? What should I tell everyone?
- That I'm a mother first and a mayor second
And I guess... You're in charge.
