{\an8} Hi, girl.
14
00:01:06,775 --> 00:01:10,069
{\an8} Didn't know anyone got up
earlier than I do,
15
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:11,904
{\an8}especially on a Saturday.
16
00:01:11,905 --> 00:01:13,864
{\an8}An old habit from the rodeo.
17
00:01:13,865 --> 00:01:16,117
{\an8}You know, first through the chute,
ride home a champ.
18
00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:21,330
{\an8}And these digs are way more spacious
than you ever let on.
19
00:01:21,331 --> 00:01:23,165
{\an8}Uh, pretty solid roots here.
20
00:01:23,166 --> 00:01:25,042
{\an8}Three generations and counting.
21
00:01:25,043 --> 00:01:26,335
{\an8}Lucky you.
22
00:01:26,336 --> 00:01:28,837
{\an8}I've never spent longer than
three months in one place,
23
00:01:28,838 --> 00:01:30,339
{\an8}let alone three generations.
24
00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:32,007
{\an8}Yeah, growing up this place was known as
25
00:01:32,008 --> 00:01:34,843
{\an8}the best horse training
and boarding ranch in the county.
26
00:01:34,844 --> 00:01:37,721
{\an8}Frankly, it's uh, seen better days.
27
00:01:37,722 --> 00:01:39,723
{\an8}Luckily, I have loyal ranch hands
28
00:01:39,724 --> 00:01:41,517
{\an8}who keep the place running
while I'm on the road.
29
00:01:41,518 --> 00:01:44,061
{\an8}Hmm. I would've loved growing up here.
30
00:01:44,062 --> 00:01:45,604
Yeah, I sure did.
31
00:01:45,605 --> 00:01:47,898
But staying still
has never come easy for me.
32
00:01:47,899 --> 00:01:49,525
Not long before I get the itch.
33
00:01:49,526 --> 00:01:51,693
The itch to get back to rodeo life.
34
00:01:53,446 --> 00:01:55,115
It's so peaceful here though.
35
00:01:56,032 --> 00:01:57,867
None of your family
coming up for Christmas?
36
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,579
Ah, it's just me and my brother Noal now.
37
00:02:02,580 --> 00:02:04,957
Folks passed close together years back
38
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:07,292
and Noal went off to serve in the army.
39
00:02:07,293 --> 00:02:09,087
Hasn't set foot on the ranch since.
40
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:11,797
I'm sorry to hear that.
41
00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:13,048
You never talk about him.
42
00:02:13,049 --> 00:02:15,635
Ah, we both went off to chase our dreams.
43
00:02:16,511 --> 00:02:19,721
Now it all feels big and hard to manage.
44
00:02:19,722 --> 00:02:21,098
Barely keeping the lights on
45
00:02:21,099 --> 00:02:23,434
with rodeo prize money and horse boarding.
46
00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:26,812
Truth is, I'm hoping
the Christmas showcase can help us
47
00:02:26,813 --> 00:02:29,274
make enough to take us
well into the new year.
48
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:32,026
Well, I have faith things are looking up.
49
00:02:33,069 --> 00:02:35,112
I mean, we've had some great wins lately.
50
00:02:35,113 --> 00:02:39,241
Yes. And Vintage Western Rodeo
is taking notice.
51
00:02:39,242 --> 00:02:42,452
Grace, their CEO, just confirmed
our sponsorship meeting tomorrow.
52
00:02:42,453 --> 00:02:45,164
She wants to meet us
before the event on Monday.
53
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:46,915
Well, I can't believe you got a meeting
54
00:02:46,916 --> 00:02:50,460
with the biggest clothing company
in rodeo before Christmas.
55
00:02:50,461 --> 00:02:52,421
All because you join me and the team.
56
00:02:52,422 --> 00:02:54,631
Three months ago,
they wouldn't even look at us.
57
00:02:54,632 --> 00:02:56,717
Turns out you add one of the circuit's
58
00:02:56,718 --> 00:03:00,387
hottest new female riders,
you get on the radar fast.
59
00:03:00,388 --> 00:03:03,181
Well, I'm not sure that's the case,
but I'll take the break.
60
00:03:03,182 --> 00:03:05,851
If we crush our events at
the Christmas showcase,
61
00:03:05,852 --> 00:03:08,395
we're talking a big enough purse
to cover competition
62
00:03:08,396 --> 00:03:10,814
and travel fees for a few months.
63
00:03:10,815 --> 00:03:15,862
Plus there's so much to fix
around here to honor the past
64
00:03:16,446 --> 00:03:18,655
and set us up for a good year to come.
65
00:03:18,656 --> 00:03:20,991
Wow. No pressure or anything.
66
00:03:20,992 --> 00:03:22,534
Don't worry, we got your back.
67
00:03:22,535 --> 00:03:24,202
There's six of us in total.
68
00:03:24,203 --> 00:03:27,164
Besides, pressure makes good riders.
69
00:03:27,165 --> 00:03:30,208
So, you almost ready to head out?
70
00:03:30,209 --> 00:03:31,920
One last training run
before we hit the road.
71
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:04,910
Emma, what happened? You good?
72
00:04:04,911 --> 00:04:06,411
Her legs just buckled.
73
00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:08,413
She wouldn't let me get on.
Something's really wrong.
74
00:04:08,414 --> 00:04:10,415
That's not good. I'll call the vet.
75
00:04:10,416 --> 00:04:12,210
It's okay girl. It's okay.
76
00:04:17,715 --> 00:04:20,426
Okay, doc. Thanks.
77
00:04:22,262 --> 00:04:23,845
Dr. Winshaw says she can be here
78
00:04:23,846 --> 00:04:26,139
first thing tomorrow morning.
79
00:04:26,140 --> 00:04:29,017
Hell of a thing to happen
right before the Christmas showcase.
80
00:04:29,018 --> 00:04:30,769
Hey, don't stress.
81
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:32,604
Stay the night and we'll wait to head out
82
00:04:32,605 --> 00:04:34,690
until we get the diagnosis
tomorrow morning.
83
00:04:34,691 --> 00:04:37,025
Oh, no, no, no. You have to go on ahead.
84
00:04:37,026 --> 00:04:38,443
You have the sponsorship meeting
85
00:04:38,444 --> 00:04:40,612
and the rest of the
guys are waiting on you.
86
00:04:40,613 --> 00:04:43,115
That's a good thing about State Circuit.
You'll be close by.
87
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:45,659
And Regal and I will catch up
with you when she's cleared.
88
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:48,328
You sure? You can borrow a horse.
89
00:04:48,329 --> 00:04:50,122
I know how important showcase is,
90
00:04:50,123 --> 00:04:52,666
but I can't leave Regal.
91
00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:55,961
She's been with me for eight
years and helped me go pro.
92
00:04:55,962 --> 00:04:57,921
I need her.
93
00:04:57,922 --> 00:05:01,466
Hey, it happens.
Horse feels off then gives out.
94
00:05:01,467 --> 00:05:04,511
Ain't on you. All part of the ride.
95
00:05:04,512 --> 00:05:06,972
I can't thank you enough for your support
96
00:05:06,973 --> 00:05:10,100
and while I'm here, I will do
anything I can to help out.
97
00:05:10,101 --> 00:05:12,811
I'll let our ranch hand Justin
know that you'll be around.
98
00:05:12,812 --> 00:05:15,606
Now get out of here. We're supposed to be
on the road an hour and a half ago.
99
00:05:16,190 --> 00:05:17,316
Make yourself at home.
100
00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:18,483
Thanks again.
101
00:05:18,484 --> 00:05:20,278
Go show him what Bill Lightning's got.
102
00:06:17,376 --> 00:06:18,503
All right.
103
00:07:16,936 --> 00:07:18,896
Ahh…
104
00:07:20,148 --> 00:07:21,566
What!?
105
00:07:27,447 --> 00:07:28,573
Mmm…
106
00:07:31,159 --> 00:07:32,535
Mmm…
107
00:07:41,043 --> 00:07:42,544
- Hey.
- Ah!
108
00:07:42,545 --> 00:07:44,880
- Ahh!
- Goldilocks.
109
00:07:44,881 --> 00:07:45,840
Wake up.
110
00:07:53,097 --> 00:07:54,764
Stay back!
111
00:07:54,765 --> 00:07:55,765
Who are you?
112
00:07:55,766 --> 00:07:57,225
You first, trespasser.
113
00:07:57,226 --> 00:07:58,435
Trespasser?
114
00:07:58,436 --> 00:08:00,353
You're the one
who just broke into the house.
115
00:08:00,354 --> 00:08:01,354
Wrong.
116
00:08:01,355 --> 00:08:02,732
This is my ranch.
117
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:05,317
This is Billy Halliday's ranch.
118
00:08:05,318 --> 00:08:06,694
So he likes to tell people.
119
00:08:09,947 --> 00:08:11,865
You're his brother.
120
00:08:11,866 --> 00:08:13,158
Noal.
121
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:14,284
You got it.
122
00:08:14,285 --> 00:08:16,536
All right.
123
00:08:16,537 --> 00:08:18,705
Didn't know he had a
girlfriend staying here.
124
00:08:18,706 --> 00:08:20,499
Uh uh. No, I'm, I'm not his girlfriend.
125
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:23,168
We um, we uh, we work together.
126
00:08:23,169 --> 00:08:24,921
And… and we're friends.
127
00:08:27,006 --> 00:08:27,882
What?
128
00:08:28,966 --> 00:08:30,550
Nothing.
129
00:08:30,551 --> 00:08:34,639
Listen, I'll give you a minute
to back up your stuff and…
130
00:08:36,098 --> 00:08:38,683
I was here first.
131
00:08:38,684 --> 00:08:41,687
No, I was here first seeing
this, this is my room.
132
00:08:43,689 --> 00:08:47,484
It is very late and I
have had a very long day
133
00:08:47,485 --> 00:08:49,069
and I've already unpacked.
134
00:08:49,070 --> 00:08:52,240
It'll be so much easier for you
to just go find another room.
135
00:08:56,327 --> 00:08:57,995
You're kicking me out of my own room?
136
00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:01,040
It appears that way, soldier.
137
00:09:22,895 --> 00:09:23,896
Sweet dreams.
138
00:09:54,051 --> 00:09:55,136
Thank you.
139
00:09:56,387 --> 00:09:58,638
So how long are you staying?
140
00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:01,474
Well, seeing as I'm part owner here,
141
00:10:01,475 --> 00:10:03,310
I think that question goes to you.
142
00:10:03,311 --> 00:10:05,186
Look, this wasn't planned.
143
00:10:05,187 --> 00:10:07,147
My horse Regal needs to see a vet soon
144
00:10:07,148 --> 00:10:10,609
so I can get to the Christmas
showcase as soon as possible.
145
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:12,861
Showcase starts tomorrow.
Christmas in a week.
146
00:10:12,862 --> 00:10:14,822
Not a lot of time to start your stuff.
147
00:10:22,121 --> 00:10:24,122
Bill didn't say you were coming home.
148
00:10:24,123 --> 00:10:25,665
Didn't tell him.
149
00:10:25,666 --> 00:10:27,542
Why not?
150
00:10:27,543 --> 00:10:30,295
I didn't think I needed permission
to come back to my own home.
151
00:10:30,296 --> 00:10:32,547
Well, surely he's your brother.
I mean it would've been nice…
152
00:10:32,548 --> 00:10:34,466
Can we just pause the interrogation
153
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:36,469
until after caffeine?
154
00:10:44,143 --> 00:10:47,228
Seriously? You put this
back in the fridge?
155
00:10:47,229 --> 00:10:48,355
How do you know it was me?
156
00:10:48,356 --> 00:10:50,357
Because you were the
only late night intruder.
157
00:10:50,358 --> 00:10:52,150
Again, not an intruder.
158
00:10:52,151 --> 00:10:53,819
This is my home.
159
00:10:55,363 --> 00:10:57,322
Oh!
160
00:10:57,323 --> 00:10:58,783
That's hot.
161
00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:02,327
Okay, you've had your first
hit of caffeine, so spill it.
162
00:11:02,328 --> 00:11:03,745
How come Bill didn't say
163
00:11:03,746 --> 00:11:05,872
you were coming home for the holidays?
164
00:11:05,873 --> 00:11:07,415
Not home for the holidays.
165
00:11:07,416 --> 00:11:09,459
Yes, it's Christmas and I'm here,
166
00:11:09,460 --> 00:11:12,295
but Christmas isn't really…
167
00:11:12,296 --> 00:11:13,713
Oh look, I get it.
168
00:11:13,714 --> 00:11:17,300
Bah humbug. You don't like Christmas.
169
00:11:17,301 --> 00:11:19,427
I figured Bill will be off
on the last tour of the season
170
00:11:19,428 --> 00:11:23,306
and my plan was to be here
and gone before he got back.
171
00:11:23,307 --> 00:11:24,392
You've been gone a long time?
172
00:11:25,393 --> 00:11:26,602
Seven years.
173
00:11:30,022 --> 00:11:31,856
Oh. That must be the vet.
174
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:34,026
Hopefully we will be
out of here in no time.
175
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:46,914
Well, looks like a strain
near a cannon bone.
176
00:11:48,457 --> 00:11:50,291
How long until she's healed?
177
00:11:50,292 --> 00:11:52,419
Well it could be a mild sprain
or something more serious.
178
00:11:52,420 --> 00:11:54,087
Ligament. Tendon.
179
00:11:54,088 --> 00:11:56,381
Best to be safe with a week of stall rest,
180
00:11:56,382 --> 00:11:57,966
cold therapy and no riding.
181
00:11:57,967 --> 00:12:00,301
I'll come back in a few
days to check on her.
182
00:12:00,302 --> 00:12:01,886
I'm sorry, a week?
183
00:12:01,887 --> 00:12:05,265
I was hoping to hit the
road today, maybe tomorrow.
184
00:12:05,266 --> 00:12:07,350
We have a holiday showcase competition.
185
00:12:07,351 --> 00:12:09,060
As soon as possible is a week.
186
00:12:09,061 --> 00:12:12,105
You push her now you're looking
at a season on the sidelines.
187
00:12:12,106 --> 00:12:13,189
I can't ride another horse.
188
00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:15,692
She's the only one I've
been able to rank with.
189
00:12:15,693 --> 00:12:18,862
Rodeo events can be hard
on both horse and rider.
190
00:12:18,863 --> 00:12:22,574
Maybe you could use a break too.
It is the Christmas season.
191
00:12:22,575 --> 00:12:24,367
I have earned my place on that team.
192
00:12:24,368 --> 00:12:26,911
Well maybe so. But you're
both looking worn out.
193
00:12:26,912 --> 00:12:29,414
One slick, one bad landing
and just like that
194
00:12:29,415 --> 00:12:32,500
the two of you are off
the circuit for good.
195
00:12:32,501 --> 00:12:35,879
Bill wouldn't have taken you
on if you didn't have grit.
196
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,340
You can't take chances
and heart ain't enough.
197
00:12:39,341 --> 00:12:41,009
Well look who the cat dragged in.
198
00:12:41,010 --> 00:12:42,886
Oh, oh no.
199
00:12:42,887 --> 00:12:44,763
Oh, it's been ages.
200
00:12:45,473 --> 00:12:47,098
Nice to see you.
201
00:12:47,099 --> 00:12:48,850
And Doc knows better than anyone
202
00:12:48,851 --> 00:12:50,560
this sport takes more than it gives.
203
00:12:50,561 --> 00:12:52,228
She knew my mom well.
204
00:12:52,229 --> 00:12:55,190
Oh, your mom was one hell of a rider
205
00:12:55,191 --> 00:12:56,774
and she knew when it was time to kick back
206
00:12:56,775 --> 00:12:58,943
and enjoy a little Christmas spirit.
207
00:12:58,944 --> 00:13:00,778
Well, I can enjoy the holiday spirit
208
00:13:00,779 --> 00:13:02,990
by being in the showcase.
209
00:13:04,241 --> 00:13:07,118
Look, truth is with a
healthy horse by your side
210
00:13:07,119 --> 00:13:09,954
you can ride and compete your heart out.
211
00:13:09,955 --> 00:13:14,292
But this mare is out for at least a week.
No arguments.
212
00:13:14,293 --> 00:13:17,003
Lots of rest and patience.
213
00:13:17,004 --> 00:13:18,796
Noal, you help take
care of the two of them.
214
00:13:18,797 --> 00:13:19,965
Yes ma'am.
215
00:13:27,139 --> 00:13:28,598
We don't need looking after.
216
00:13:28,599 --> 00:13:31,100
Never said that you did.
217
00:13:31,101 --> 00:13:33,520
But like or not I do intend on
staying here for a few days.
218
00:13:33,521 --> 00:13:35,813
So we're roommates.
219
00:13:39,944 --> 00:13:41,320
It's Bill.
220
00:13:42,446 --> 00:13:44,906
Don't tell him I'm here.
221
00:13:44,907 --> 00:13:47,534
Why not? We work together.
222
00:13:47,535 --> 00:13:49,577
Technically, he's my boss.
223
00:13:49,578 --> 00:13:53,623
It's complicated. Just…
I want to tell him on my own time.
224
00:13:53,624 --> 00:13:56,125
All right. I don't want to
get between two brothers.
225
00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:06,386
Hey, what did Dr. Winshaw say?
226
00:14:06,387 --> 00:14:09,348
It's not great. A week at least.
227
00:14:10,849 --> 00:14:13,017
Ouch. Well she knows best.
228
00:14:13,018 --> 00:14:14,602
You can still come out for the barrel race
229
00:14:14,603 --> 00:14:16,104
and use one of the team horses.
230
00:14:16,105 --> 00:14:17,689
I'm so sorry Bill.
231
00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:20,900
I know you're counting
on me but I can't leave Regal.
232
00:14:20,901 --> 00:14:22,652
How's it going with the sponsors?
233
00:14:22,653 --> 00:14:25,071
Great. They're really looking
forward to seeing us,
234
00:14:25,072 --> 00:14:26,906
especially you in action.
235
00:14:26,907 --> 00:14:29,951
You'll make the performance events
on Christmas Eve next Saturday?
236
00:14:29,952 --> 00:14:33,037
Yeah, I really hope so.
I need to keep my rank.
237
00:14:33,038 --> 00:14:35,248
Great because the competition is fierce.
238
00:14:35,249 --> 00:14:37,542
Oh I really wish I was there.
239
00:14:37,543 --> 00:14:39,460
Ah, the team will cover you.
240
00:14:39,461 --> 00:14:40,921
So everything good at the ranch?
241
00:14:41,755 --> 00:14:45,800
Um, yeah, yeah, everything's great.
242
00:14:45,801 --> 00:14:48,803
I'll watch your event live
online. Have a good ride.
243
00:14:48,804 --> 00:14:51,639
Thanks. I got my eye on that prize.
244
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,393
Christmas is coming and the
tack shed needs a new roof
245
00:15:31,889 --> 00:15:34,223
As I live and breathe.
246
00:15:34,224 --> 00:15:36,894
If it isn't Noal Halliday.
247
00:15:37,895 --> 00:15:40,271
There he is. Long time.
248
00:15:40,272 --> 00:15:41,440
Yeah.
249
00:15:44,109 --> 00:15:45,985
How are you buddy?
250
00:15:45,986 --> 00:15:48,529
No complaints. Especially
with Christmas coming.
251
00:15:48,530 --> 00:15:50,156
You on leave?
252
00:15:50,157 --> 00:15:52,952
You could say that. Permanently.
253
00:15:54,036 --> 00:15:55,244
Ah. I guess the state comes
254
00:15:55,245 --> 00:15:57,038
even for the best of us, doesn't it?
255
00:15:57,039 --> 00:15:59,040
Yeah, if you say so.
256
00:15:59,041 --> 00:16:01,626
Though, I didn't think it
would come for you so soon.
257
00:16:01,627 --> 00:16:04,462
Your loyalty to something
when you commit is bone deep.
258
00:16:04,463 --> 00:16:06,631
Hey, honorable discharge.
259
00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:10,677
Ah, that sounds about right.
Something happened?
260
00:16:10,678 --> 00:16:12,136
Yeah.
261
00:16:12,137 --> 00:16:13,721
You got shot?
262
00:16:13,722 --> 00:16:15,056
Yeah. Collapsed the lung.
263
00:16:15,057 --> 00:16:17,475
It turns out spontaneous pneumothorax
264
00:16:17,476 --> 00:16:19,352
is not as compatible
to jumping out of airplanes
265
00:16:19,353 --> 00:16:21,021
as I would like.
266
00:16:22,564 --> 00:16:23,982
They leave a bullet in there?
267
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:27,276
No, but the scar tissue
is not as flexible, so.
268
00:16:27,277 --> 00:16:28,903
You pressurize our Noal…
269
00:16:28,904 --> 00:16:31,864
And pop goes the lung.
270
00:16:31,865 --> 00:16:34,867
Geez, man. Did they offer
you anything else?
271
00:16:34,868 --> 00:16:38,121
They did. Turns out I'm not a desk guy.
272
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:41,457
You're always the biggest
helper on the ranch.
273
00:16:41,458 --> 00:16:42,792
How long you staying?
274
00:16:42,793 --> 00:16:45,628
Don't know yet. Just
trying to get my bearings.
275
00:16:45,629 --> 00:16:48,756
Well, no better place to do it than home.
276
00:16:48,757 --> 00:16:51,009
Especially in the holidays.
277
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:53,136
Your mom used to decorate
this place pretty nice.
278
00:16:53,137 --> 00:16:55,888
I put up few the old things
but they just look worn out.
279
00:16:55,889 --> 00:16:58,558
Yeah. Faded glory, huh?
280
00:16:58,559 --> 00:17:00,435
Hmm. Your brother probably should be back
281
00:17:00,436 --> 00:17:02,020
by Christmas day with lots of prize money.
282
00:17:02,021 --> 00:17:04,230
Help spruce things up.
283
00:17:04,231 --> 00:17:06,482
Well, better be a pretty
big haul if he's going to
284
00:17:06,483 --> 00:17:08,402
attend to all the things
that need fixing around here.
285
00:17:13,407 --> 00:17:15,158
Welcome rodeo fans in the stands
286
00:17:15,159 --> 00:17:18,161
and those tuning into
the excitement from home.
287
00:17:18,162 --> 00:17:19,787
We are here at the fairgrounds today
288
00:17:19,788 --> 00:17:23,082
and they are electric
as competitors gear up
289
00:17:23,083 --> 00:17:26,419
for the first event of the
day, the reindeer roping.
290
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:30,590
But first I have a special
guest here with me today.
291
00:17:30,591 --> 00:17:35,054
You might know him as none other
than Bill "Lightning" Halliday.
292
00:17:36,346 --> 00:17:38,514
Bill is a seasoned cowboy
known for his precision
293
00:17:38,515 --> 00:17:41,392
and speed, and you already know that.
294
00:17:41,393 --> 00:17:44,062
Bill, how are you feeling
about today's ride?
295
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:48,566
Oh, my team and I are ready
to take home top honors.
296
00:17:48,567 --> 00:17:49,567
I'm sure you are.
297
00:17:53,447 --> 00:17:55,531
Well it looks
like Jane Brown's team
298
00:17:55,532 --> 00:17:59,243
is racking up scores faster
than a Christmas cookie swap.
299
00:17:59,244 --> 00:18:01,120
They just might be the ones to beat
300
00:18:01,121 --> 00:18:02,538
at this year's Christmas showcase.
301
00:18:02,539 --> 00:18:04,082
Easy now, Maya.
302
00:18:04,083 --> 00:18:06,250
It's still early and as they say,
303
00:18:06,251 --> 00:18:09,129
it ain't over until the cookie crumbles.
304
00:18:10,214 --> 00:18:11,672
You heard it here first.
305
00:18:11,673 --> 00:18:14,426
Bill "Lightning"
is locked in and here to win.
306
00:18:15,761 --> 00:18:17,304
Go Bill.
307
00:18:20,349 --> 00:18:22,558
Hey don't turn off on my account.
308
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:24,811
Bill never could resist a spotlight.
309
00:18:24,812 --> 00:18:26,854
Well we could use the win.
310
00:18:26,855 --> 00:18:28,606
Oh, Justin was looking for you.
311
00:18:28,607 --> 00:18:30,274
He said something needs to be repaired.
312
00:18:30,275 --> 00:18:31,984
Wasn't sure if he should call Bill.
313
00:18:31,985 --> 00:18:33,361
Nah, Bill's focused on the circuit.
314
00:18:33,362 --> 00:18:34,612
I'll just give Justin a hand.
315
00:18:34,613 --> 00:18:35,780
Are you sure?
316
00:18:35,781 --> 00:18:37,740
He said the piece
might take a bit to come in.
317
00:18:37,741 --> 00:18:39,075
Oh, I'm sure.
318
00:18:39,076 --> 00:18:41,410
I don't think Bill's been
doing much fixing around here.
319
00:18:41,411 --> 00:18:45,748
Well his circuit schedule has
been a little crazy lately.
320
00:18:45,749 --> 00:18:47,416
One thing I do know is
321
00:18:47,417 --> 00:18:50,920
Bill loves the whole
"Lightning" attention thing.
322
00:18:50,921 --> 00:18:53,840
Especially from the female friends.
323
00:18:53,841 --> 00:18:58,136
You know him well, but
that's all a part of the job.
324
00:18:58,137 --> 00:19:00,513
It sounds like he could
use some ranch help.
325
00:19:00,514 --> 00:19:02,598
I can sweep out the feeding barn later.
326
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:05,309
Thanks. I should probably
make myself useful here
327
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:07,186
while I'm figuring out my plans.
328
00:19:07,187 --> 00:19:10,022
Well, hey, if you're sticking
around for the holidays,
329
00:19:10,023 --> 00:19:12,567
maybe you could help put
up some decorations.
330
00:19:12,568 --> 00:19:14,569
I know Justin put up some, but
331
00:19:14,570 --> 00:19:17,573
it feels like we could all use a
little Christmas pick me up.
332
00:19:18,448 --> 00:19:20,449
I'm here to catch my bearings,
333
00:19:20,450 --> 00:19:23,328
not play Santa's elf with you.
334
00:19:25,873 --> 00:19:27,249
I'll take that as a no.
335
00:19:48,228 --> 00:19:50,396
Are you just going to sit there and eat?
336
00:19:50,397 --> 00:19:52,815
Hey, you're the one that offered to help.
337
00:19:52,816 --> 00:19:55,401
How you getting on with Emma?
338
00:19:55,402 --> 00:19:57,403
Sure is sweet. Makes some mean shortbread.
339
00:19:57,404 --> 00:19:59,780
Uh, sweet if you say so.
340
00:19:59,781 --> 00:20:01,240
Mean maybe.
341
00:20:01,241 --> 00:20:02,367
Bill's keen on her…
342
00:20:03,619 --> 00:20:05,286
For his team, that is.
343
00:20:05,287 --> 00:20:08,331
He said he needed her on the
team to secure a sponsor.
344
00:20:08,332 --> 00:20:10,374
She had just turned pro, needed a break.
345
00:20:10,375 --> 00:20:13,086
Bad luck for her horse though.
They need to rack up points.
346
00:20:13,795 --> 00:20:15,588
Pass me a wrench, would you?
347
00:20:15,589 --> 00:20:17,257
That's support.
348
00:20:18,217 --> 00:20:21,469
Wanting to see someone succeed
and helping them get there.
349
00:20:21,470 --> 00:20:23,222
You need to find yourself
someone like that.
350
00:20:24,139 --> 00:20:24,973
Pass.
351
00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:27,059
I'm not good to anyone right now.
352
00:20:28,435 --> 00:20:30,437
Love of a good woman
will fix a broken man.
353
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:32,940
Who says I'm broken?
354
00:20:33,941 --> 00:20:36,734
I'm just saying, don't close yourself off.
355
00:20:36,735 --> 00:20:38,736
You'll know the right one
when she gets under your skin
356
00:20:38,737 --> 00:20:40,405
in a way you can't get enough of.
357
00:20:43,533 --> 00:20:46,369
All right, let's fix her now.
358
00:20:46,370 --> 00:20:48,246
I'll order a new part
when I get into town.
359
00:20:48,247 --> 00:20:49,248
All right.
360
00:21:05,806 --> 00:21:09,141
Wow. It's a lot of decorating
for one person.
361
00:21:09,142 --> 00:21:11,519
Well, I have a lot of experience
decorating alone,
362
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:12,728
thank you very much.
363
00:21:12,729 --> 00:21:14,356
You alone a lot for the holidays?
364
00:21:15,023 --> 00:21:17,525
It was just me and my dad for years.
365
00:21:17,526 --> 00:21:19,318
We used to always string up lights
366
00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:21,446
and have some good laughs.
367
00:21:22,114 --> 00:21:24,741
He used to always say,
"You're the light of my light."
368
00:21:26,576 --> 00:21:27,828
I really miss him.
369
00:21:28,704 --> 00:21:32,623
Yeah, holidays were
kind of a big deal around here too.
370
00:21:32,624 --> 00:21:34,792
My parents and grandparents
would throw big parties
371
00:21:34,793 --> 00:21:36,670
and they'd go out caroling
with the horses.
372
00:21:37,296 --> 00:21:38,796
That sounds really special.
373
00:21:38,797 --> 00:21:41,132
Yeah, everybody was invited.
374
00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:44,176
Especially if you didn't have
a place to go for the holidays.
375
00:21:44,177 --> 00:21:48,514
And my mom, she was obsessed with the tree
getting bigger every year.
376
00:21:49,433 --> 00:21:51,226
She always got her way too.
377
00:21:54,271 --> 00:21:55,731
Well, care to help?
378
00:21:57,274 --> 00:21:59,276
I'm going to leave it
in your capable hands.
379
00:22:01,361 --> 00:22:05,531
Although… everybody knows
the wreath goes on the door.
380
00:22:05,532 --> 00:22:06,450
Hmm.
381
00:22:07,409 --> 00:22:09,328
Looks a lot like helping to me.
382
00:22:11,496 --> 00:22:14,291
Fair enough.
Consider it my good deed for the day.
383
00:22:19,087 --> 00:22:21,255
Actually, I have to head into town.
You need anything?
384
00:22:21,256 --> 00:22:23,008
Great, I'll come with you.
385
00:22:23,925 --> 00:22:24,925
I wasn't inviting.
386
00:22:24,926 --> 00:22:26,011
I'll take shotgun.
387
00:22:37,564 --> 00:22:39,483
How's being back at the ranch?
388
00:22:40,233 --> 00:22:41,525
Was fine.
389
00:22:41,526 --> 00:22:42,777
You know, just, uh,
390
00:22:42,778 --> 00:22:44,738
stepped in and help out where I can.
391
00:22:45,530 --> 00:22:47,823
So you and your brother are good?
392
00:22:47,824 --> 00:22:48,742
Not sure yet.
393
00:22:49,743 --> 00:22:53,163
Bill's still in the circuit,
so we… we haven't spoken.
394
00:22:53,997 --> 00:22:56,749
Just dealing with his annoying
house guest at the moment.
395
00:22:56,750 --> 00:22:58,125
House guest?
396
00:22:58,126 --> 00:22:59,794
New member of his team, apparently.
397
00:22:59,795 --> 00:23:01,213
She stole my bedroom.
398
00:23:01,922 --> 00:23:05,674
She's trying to turn the house
into a Christmas wonderland.
399
00:23:08,136 --> 00:23:09,346
Don't give me that look.
400
00:23:10,013 --> 00:23:11,180
No, look.
401
00:23:16,895 --> 00:23:17,896
How are you really?
402
00:23:21,108 --> 00:23:21,942
Fine.
403
00:23:22,692 --> 00:23:25,195
Good. You know, I'm adjusting.
404
00:23:26,071 --> 00:23:28,031
Have you thought about
what you want to do next?
405
00:23:28,615 --> 00:23:32,785
Uh, I saw some private
security postings in the city.
406
00:23:32,786 --> 00:23:34,788
I thought I might apply.
407
00:23:36,581 --> 00:23:39,793
Do you think another active
duty position is a good idea?
408
00:23:40,710 --> 00:23:42,754
That kind of work is all I've ever known.
409
00:23:44,756 --> 00:23:46,049
That and the ranch.
410
00:23:47,843 --> 00:23:49,885
Well the position with
the recruitment division
411
00:23:49,886 --> 00:23:51,053
is still available.
412
00:23:51,054 --> 00:23:54,432
Uh, if I wanted a desk job,
I would have stayed in the city.
413
00:23:56,268 --> 00:23:59,687
Okay, well, don't decide too quickly.
414
00:23:59,688 --> 00:24:03,649
Take it easy. Reach out for support.
415
00:24:03,650 --> 00:24:05,568
What happened to you was traumatic
416
00:24:05,569 --> 00:24:07,194
and that trauma can
appear in different ways
417
00:24:07,195 --> 00:24:08,863
over the coming months.
418
00:24:08,864 --> 00:24:12,950
This time of year is about forgiveness.
419
00:24:12,951 --> 00:24:17,789
And Noal, it's time to start
forgiving, yourself included.
420
00:24:22,794 --> 00:24:23,753
Yeah.
421
00:24:24,838 --> 00:24:27,840
The course is simple
yet challenging.
422
00:24:27,841 --> 00:24:30,009
And crowd favorite
Bill "Lightning" Halliday
423
00:24:30,010 --> 00:24:32,636
and his horse Thunderbolt
are charging toward
424
00:24:32,637 --> 00:24:34,931
another record finish.
425
00:24:35,682 --> 00:24:37,224
Look at him go.
426
00:24:37,225 --> 00:24:40,895
The crowd is going wild
as Bill "Lightning" Halliday
427
00:24:40,896 --> 00:24:43,564
and his horse Thunderbolt do it again
428
00:24:43,565 --> 00:24:46,025
at the Christmas Rodeo Showcase.
429
00:24:46,026 --> 00:24:47,944
Man, they don't call him
"Lightning" for nothing.
430
00:25:07,047 --> 00:25:09,799
Two specials.
I'll be right back.
431
00:25:11,176 --> 00:25:12,636
No!
432
00:25:13,637 --> 00:25:16,013
Oh my God.
433
00:25:16,014 --> 00:25:18,683
Oh my God. Oh!
434
00:25:27,817 --> 00:25:30,152
Caught you under the mistletoe.
435
00:25:30,153 --> 00:25:31,195
Uh, yeah.
436
00:25:31,196 --> 00:25:32,696
Um, when did you get back?
437
00:25:32,697 --> 00:25:35,241
Ow! I just got back in town.
438
00:25:35,242 --> 00:25:37,159
You've been gone for ages!
439
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,953
How long do we get you for this time?
440
00:25:38,954 --> 00:25:41,538
Oh, haven't figured that out yet.
441
00:25:41,539 --> 00:25:43,165
We'll see. Maybe a little while.
442
00:25:43,166 --> 00:25:46,293
Really? Bill didn't tell
me a single thing.
443
00:25:46,294 --> 00:25:47,753
Oh my goodness.
444
00:25:47,754 --> 00:25:50,339
This is the best thing that's
happened in forever.
445
00:25:50,340 --> 00:25:52,216
Oh my gosh. Okay. You got to get out more.
446
00:25:53,343 --> 00:25:54,760
Hey, what about you?
447
00:25:54,761 --> 00:25:56,136
Last I heard you were in the city.
448
00:25:56,137 --> 00:26:00,057
Well, my mom needed my
help here, you know, so.
449
00:26:00,058 --> 00:26:01,100
All right.
450
00:26:01,101 --> 00:26:01,935
Oh.
451
00:26:03,687 --> 00:26:05,938
You, uh, get your fill of the town?
452
00:26:05,939 --> 00:26:07,022
It's cute.
453
00:26:07,023 --> 00:26:08,984
It seems like a great place to grow up.
454
00:26:12,570 --> 00:26:14,781
Are you going to introduce
me to your friend or…?
455
00:26:16,324 --> 00:26:19,118
Sure. Yeah. Uh, her name's Emma.
456
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,786
She's a friend of Bill's from the rodeo.
457
00:26:20,787 --> 00:26:21,996
She's staying at the ranch.
458
00:26:21,997 --> 00:26:24,957
Oh, just until my horse is healed enough
to return to competition.
459
00:26:24,958 --> 00:26:27,251
Oh, you are that rider
he was telling me about.
460
00:26:27,252 --> 00:26:30,546
Oh. Very exciting things ahead for you.
461
00:26:30,547 --> 00:26:33,091
I hope so. Doesn't feel
like that at the moment.
462
00:26:34,634 --> 00:26:36,260
Are you staying at the ranch together?
463
00:26:36,261 --> 00:26:38,804
- Nope.
- Uh-huh.
464
00:26:38,805 --> 00:26:43,642
I mean, she's at the ranch on her side.
465
00:26:43,643 --> 00:26:45,644
I'm on mine.
466
00:26:45,645 --> 00:26:49,523
I mean, except for that one
night we shared a bed together.
467
00:26:49,524 --> 00:26:50,482
Oh…
468
00:26:50,483 --> 00:26:54,236
That was a misunderstanding.
469
00:26:54,237 --> 00:26:55,904
Of course.
470
00:26:55,905 --> 00:26:58,240
Classic case of accidental cuddling.
471
00:26:58,241 --> 00:26:59,199
Yes.
472
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,868
No. Uh…
473
00:27:02,287 --> 00:27:04,121
I got to get back to work.
474
00:27:04,122 --> 00:27:08,042
But seeing as you're back,
how do you feel about hosting
475
00:27:08,043 --> 00:27:10,294
the Cowboy Carol at your ranch this year?
476
00:27:10,295 --> 00:27:12,755
So we're making all the
desserts for the fundraiser,
477
00:27:12,756 --> 00:27:14,465
but we still don't have a venue.
478
00:27:14,466 --> 00:27:16,133
His parents used to host
479
00:27:16,134 --> 00:27:17,843
the most amazing Cowboy Carol dances.
480
00:27:17,844 --> 00:27:18,969
Oh yeah.
481
00:27:18,970 --> 00:27:21,638
And oh, there might be
a small location fee involved.
482
00:27:21,639 --> 00:27:23,766
You know, if I could stop
by we could discuss it.
483
00:27:23,767 --> 00:27:26,394
I'll bring a cherry pie.
I know you love that.
484
00:27:26,978 --> 00:27:27,895
Yeah…
485
00:27:27,896 --> 00:27:29,188
Great.
486
00:27:29,189 --> 00:27:31,106
You could also probably help out as well.
487
00:27:31,107 --> 00:27:32,776
- You know, if you're sticking around.
- Yeah.
488
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:35,153
Hear that place needs a little TLC.
489
00:27:36,154 --> 00:27:37,155
Uh-huh.
490
00:27:38,365 --> 00:27:39,282
I'll be back.
491
00:27:42,035 --> 00:27:44,578
Really? You had to tell her.
492
00:27:44,579 --> 00:27:47,165
I just had to see her hit you
with her towel again.
493
00:27:48,416 --> 00:27:50,835
Okay. I'm getting out of here
before you get me in any more trouble.
494
00:27:56,049 --> 00:27:56,883
Bye.
495
00:28:06,476 --> 00:28:08,018
What?
496
00:28:08,019 --> 00:28:10,229
So what's the deal with you and Kathleen?
497
00:28:10,230 --> 00:28:11,772
No deal.
498
00:28:11,773 --> 00:28:14,274
She wasn't that affectionate
to all the other customers.
499
00:28:14,275 --> 00:28:15,484
I've known her forever.
500
00:28:15,485 --> 00:28:16,860
High school sweethearts?
501
00:28:16,861 --> 00:28:19,446
Nope. No. She was more into Bill.
502
00:28:19,447 --> 00:28:21,281
Maybe Bill was more into her.
503
00:28:21,282 --> 00:28:22,991
Either way, I'm not
really in the head space
504
00:28:22,992 --> 00:28:24,451
for that kind of thing.
505
00:28:24,452 --> 00:28:26,328
Well, the Cowboy Carol sounds fun.
506
00:28:26,329 --> 00:28:27,246
Not this year.
507
00:28:27,247 --> 00:28:28,455
Why not?
508
00:28:28,456 --> 00:28:30,958
Because it's too soon. I just got home.
509
00:28:30,959 --> 00:28:33,961
And seriously, what's with
the interrogation?
510
00:28:33,962 --> 00:28:35,462
It's called friendly conversation.
511
00:28:35,463 --> 00:28:36,880
Most people have it
512
00:28:36,881 --> 00:28:39,049
without acting like it's
a hostage situation.
513
00:28:39,050 --> 00:28:40,176
Well, I'm not most people.
514
00:28:44,013 --> 00:28:46,348
All right, but I'm putting
on the Christmas station.
515
00:28:46,349 --> 00:28:47,975
Fine. But no singing.
516
00:28:47,976 --> 00:28:49,853
Oh, Christmas karaoke.
517
00:29:05,910 --> 00:29:08,245
Hey Bill, you're killing it out there.
518
00:29:08,246 --> 00:29:12,124
Thanks. This showcase
is incredible. Team's doing well.
519
00:29:12,125 --> 00:29:14,084
Fans are out in full force.
520
00:29:14,085 --> 00:29:16,545
Oh, the sponsors must love that.
How'd the meeting go?
521
00:29:16,546 --> 00:29:18,964
Amazing. Met the CEO, Grace.
522
00:29:18,965 --> 00:29:21,341
Saw the new clothing line, but she said
523
00:29:21,342 --> 00:29:24,219
they're only able to sponsor
one new team in the new year.
524
00:29:24,220 --> 00:29:26,472
It's promising, but Grace is
going to want to meet with you
525
00:29:26,473 --> 00:29:27,556
before committing.
526
00:29:27,557 --> 00:29:28,515
Well sure.
527
00:29:28,516 --> 00:29:30,559
Do you want me to set up
a video call while I'm here?
528
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,603
She's going to want to see you in person.
529
00:29:32,604 --> 00:29:35,606
Try stuff on, wear at events.
530
00:29:35,607 --> 00:29:37,900
She made me model the entire winter line.
531
00:29:37,901 --> 00:29:40,068
Thankfully, I've been working out.
532
00:29:40,069 --> 00:29:41,737
Well the pressure's on, I guess.
533
00:29:41,738 --> 00:29:43,822
You'll make their stuff
look better than I will.
534
00:29:43,823 --> 00:29:47,159
Thanks, man. Regal's having
a good day today.
535
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,662
I promise I'll get back
out there as soon as I can.
536
00:29:50,163 --> 00:29:52,915
And, uh, by the way, I met your brother.
537
00:29:52,916 --> 00:29:54,666
What? You met Noal?
538
00:29:54,667 --> 00:29:55,834
Yeah. He got in the other day.
539
00:29:55,835 --> 00:29:58,128
He's been helping out around the ranch.
540
00:29:58,129 --> 00:30:01,216
Shows up out of nowhere
to play cowboy for a week.
541
00:30:01,758 --> 00:30:06,678
Well I wish he would've let me
know just to watch out.
542
00:30:06,679 --> 00:30:08,931
Noal has a way of making things about him.
543
00:30:08,932 --> 00:30:10,641
Well he says he won't be here for long.
544
00:30:10,642 --> 00:30:12,601
Besides, I can take care of myself.
545
00:30:12,602 --> 00:30:13,812
I know you can.
546
00:30:24,322 --> 00:30:26,198
It's okay girl.
547
00:30:26,199 --> 00:30:27,867
I know you're going to
get back out there too.
548
00:30:28,868 --> 00:30:31,787
Yeah, It's getting cold in here.
549
00:30:31,788 --> 00:30:33,164
Let's find you a warmer blanket, huh.
550
00:31:25,216 --> 00:31:27,426
Sorry to end your
night like this boys.
551
00:31:27,427 --> 00:31:29,887
I could have swore you were bluffing.
552
00:31:29,888 --> 00:31:31,930
Used to be better at reading people too.
553
00:31:31,931 --> 00:31:35,517
Well, you've taken all
my cash so I'm done.
554
00:31:35,518 --> 00:31:37,728
Hey, you notice the place
has been spruced up?
555
00:31:37,729 --> 00:31:40,898
Emma had me haul
decorations out of the shed.
556
00:31:40,899 --> 00:31:42,274
Yeah, she does have a way
557
00:31:42,275 --> 00:31:45,027
of insinuating herself and
everything, doesn't she?
558
00:31:45,028 --> 00:31:48,072
How's that going? The insinuating.
559
00:31:49,115 --> 00:31:51,283
It's tolerable.
560
00:31:51,284 --> 00:31:52,576
Tolerable?
561
00:31:52,577 --> 00:31:54,161
Fine I guess.
562
00:31:54,162 --> 00:31:55,954
Fine?
563
00:31:55,955 --> 00:31:59,124
That woman's been a big help on
the ranch the last few days.
564
00:31:59,125 --> 00:32:00,792
I mean, especially with
the boarding horses
565
00:32:00,793 --> 00:32:02,711
and the riders coming up
from the city for training.
566
00:32:02,712 --> 00:32:04,296
Well, maybe she's good for the horses
567
00:32:04,297 --> 00:32:07,132
but she's doing my head in
with the incessant questioning.
568
00:32:08,885 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaking of ladies, Kathleen's back.
569
00:32:11,721 --> 00:32:14,932
Yeah. Saw her in town.
570
00:32:14,933 --> 00:32:17,434
She asked about us
hosting the Cowboy Carol.
571
00:32:17,435 --> 00:32:20,729
Ah, just like the old days.
That could be fun.
572
00:32:20,730 --> 00:32:23,191
Heard she broke up with a guy
she was seeing in the city.
573
00:32:24,609 --> 00:32:26,735
Maybe that means Bill
will finally get a shot.
574
00:32:26,736 --> 00:32:29,238
Ah, Bill gets enough
action on the circuit.
575
00:32:30,365 --> 00:32:31,699
What about you?
576
00:32:33,326 --> 00:32:35,994
I'm just here catching my
breath and then I'm moving on.
577
00:32:35,995 --> 00:32:37,496
No attachments. No complications.
578
00:32:39,582 --> 00:32:41,209
Famous last words, buddy.
579
00:33:03,064 --> 00:33:04,232
Ah ha!
580
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,778
I was going to get a glass.
581
00:33:09,779 --> 00:33:11,321
What are you doing sneaking around
582
00:33:11,322 --> 00:33:13,490
in the middle of the night
like the milk police, anyway?
583
00:33:13,491 --> 00:33:15,450
I can't sleep.
584
00:33:15,451 --> 00:33:19,204
I'm worried about Regal and
getting back out on the circuit.
585
00:33:19,205 --> 00:33:21,206
Hm.
586
00:33:21,207 --> 00:33:22,458
Really weighing on you, huh?
587
00:33:24,585 --> 00:33:26,545
I finally get my big break
588
00:33:26,546 --> 00:33:29,339
and now I just feel like
I'm letting everybody down.
589
00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:32,175
Bill needs me to help him
secure a sponsorship deal
590
00:33:32,176 --> 00:33:34,011
with Vintage Western Rodeo.
591
00:33:34,012 --> 00:33:36,221
And Grace, the owner of
the company, called
592
00:33:36,222 --> 00:33:39,391
and it'll cover our circuit
costs for the whole year.
593
00:33:39,392 --> 00:33:40,559
The clothing line?
594
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,310
Yeah.
595
00:33:42,311 --> 00:33:44,688
And they only want to sponsor
a team with co-ed riders
596
00:33:44,689 --> 00:33:47,441
because they want to showcase
their full inventory.
597
00:33:47,442 --> 00:33:52,612
All right. Wow. That's impressive.
598
00:33:52,613 --> 00:33:54,698
I can't tell if you're
making fun of me or not.
599
00:33:54,699 --> 00:33:55,615
A little bit, but…
600
00:33:57,201 --> 00:33:58,785
No, I'm not.
601
00:33:58,786 --> 00:34:01,121
I know how hard it is to get a sponsor.
602
00:34:01,122 --> 00:34:03,081
Our mom had to rely on sponsorships
603
00:34:03,082 --> 00:34:05,000
throughout the whole time
she was on the circuit.
604
00:34:05,001 --> 00:34:06,752
Bill would be lucky to have one.
605
00:34:06,753 --> 00:34:09,171
Well he says he needs it to
help with the ranch too.
606
00:34:09,172 --> 00:34:11,256
And I'm just worried if I
don't get out there soon
607
00:34:11,257 --> 00:34:13,633
I'm going to mess it up for him.
608
00:34:13,634 --> 00:34:15,594
Well, my mom always said
609
00:34:15,595 --> 00:34:18,222
you can't mess up what's meant for you.
610
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:21,224
I like that.
611
00:34:21,225 --> 00:34:23,685
And as for the ranch,
612
00:34:23,686 --> 00:34:26,481
I didn't realize how hard
it had been on Bill.
613
00:34:27,648 --> 00:34:32,319
So what about you? Why can't you sleep?
614
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:37,157
Oh, I don't know.
A little too quiet out here.
615
00:34:37,158 --> 00:34:40,368
Really. Ugh. I like it.
616
00:34:40,369 --> 00:34:42,913
It's a nice change from noisy motels.
617
00:34:42,914 --> 00:34:45,291
And clearly you're not running
from your own thoughts.
618
00:34:46,417 --> 00:34:47,251
You are?
619
00:34:50,671 --> 00:34:52,381
Figure of speech.
620
00:34:55,510 --> 00:34:58,846
You know, it could help
if you talk about it.
621
00:35:00,139 --> 00:35:02,557
Not usually the case for me.
622
00:35:02,558 --> 00:35:04,435
I prefer to forget.
623
00:35:06,938 --> 00:35:09,649
Well, I'm not sure that scar will let you.
624
00:35:14,612 --> 00:35:17,281
Come on, try me.
625
00:35:18,282 --> 00:35:19,534
I'm a good listener.
626
00:35:25,540 --> 00:35:30,085
My friend Jake grew up here.
627
00:35:30,086 --> 00:35:31,753
You know, we're close.
628
00:35:31,754 --> 00:35:33,922
We went to high school together.
629
00:35:33,923 --> 00:35:37,634
It was a routine operation,
630
00:35:37,635 --> 00:35:40,720
in and out like we've
done a dozen times before.
631
00:35:40,721 --> 00:35:41,722
Except,
632
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,895
this time there was an ambush,
633
00:35:48,896 --> 00:35:52,525
too many of them, not enough of us.
634
00:35:53,776 --> 00:35:56,695
And through the smoke and the crossfire,
635
00:35:56,696 --> 00:35:58,447
I lost track of Jake.
636
00:36:00,032 --> 00:36:02,325
I called out to him over and over,
637
00:36:02,326 --> 00:36:04,453
but no response.
638
00:36:08,124 --> 00:36:09,375
And when I finally found him,
639
00:36:12,003 --> 00:36:14,130
I did everything I could.
640
00:36:14,964 --> 00:36:17,175
Took a hit getting him out, but
641
00:36:21,179 --> 00:36:23,139
it wasn't enough.
642
00:36:27,226 --> 00:36:29,645
This is not your fault, Noal.
643
00:36:31,230 --> 00:36:33,691
Still doesn't ease the
guilt or make it any easier.
644
00:36:38,696 --> 00:36:41,199
I am so sorry.
645
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:51,626
I'm sorry.
646
00:36:53,169 --> 00:36:54,711
You barely know me.
647
00:36:54,712 --> 00:36:57,214
I didn't mean to unload all that on you.
648
00:36:57,215 --> 00:37:00,551
No, thank you for sharing.
649
00:37:01,761 --> 00:37:05,722
You know, maybe you could
reconnect with his family
650
00:37:05,723 --> 00:37:07,307
now that you're back.
651
00:37:07,308 --> 00:37:10,101
Help honor his memory,
652
00:37:10,102 --> 00:37:12,604
in your own time, of course.
653
00:37:12,605 --> 00:37:15,608
Yeah. Thank you.
654
00:37:21,364 --> 00:37:23,573
I should get to bed.
655
00:37:23,574 --> 00:37:24,866
Right.
656
00:37:24,867 --> 00:37:26,034
Night, Noal.
657
00:37:26,035 --> 00:37:27,620
Good night.
658
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:32,458
Hey Emma.
659
00:37:33,876 --> 00:37:35,419
Cute PJ's.
660
00:37:39,757 --> 00:37:40,841
Nice abs.
661
00:38:07,785 --> 00:38:10,287
Never thought I'd see a
special forces handyman.
662
00:38:10,288 --> 00:38:12,789
It suits you.
663
00:38:12,790 --> 00:38:15,417
I'm not exactly lining up
job offers these days.
664
00:38:15,418 --> 00:38:17,085
The place needs upkeep.
665
00:38:17,086 --> 00:38:18,670
Nobody's shooting at you.
666
00:38:18,671 --> 00:38:21,339
No, that is one for the pro column.
667
00:38:21,340 --> 00:38:23,592
Not so sure Bill would
be cool with it, though.
668
00:38:24,969 --> 00:38:26,804
You'd be surprised.
669
00:38:27,513 --> 00:38:29,472
You two need to put the past behind you.
670
00:38:29,473 --> 00:38:31,391
You're the only family
either of you still got.
671
00:38:31,392 --> 00:38:33,394
I haven't felt like family in a long time.
672
00:38:34,812 --> 00:38:37,814
You can't let the past
dictate your future.
673
00:38:37,815 --> 00:38:40,776
Besides, this ranch belongs to you too.
674
00:39:00,004 --> 00:39:01,671
I was in checking on Regal.
675
00:39:01,672 --> 00:39:03,340
She's putting more weight on her foot.
676
00:39:03,341 --> 00:39:04,632
- That's great.
- Yeah.
677
00:39:04,633 --> 00:39:05,800
Glad she's on the mend.
678
00:39:05,801 --> 00:39:07,802
Wondering if you needed any help.
679
00:39:07,803 --> 00:39:09,638
Sure.
680
00:39:11,724 --> 00:39:13,808
Thanks for being there last night.
681
00:39:13,809 --> 00:39:15,560
You are a good listener.
682
00:39:15,561 --> 00:39:19,522
But, it's now my time to
ask you some questions.
683
00:39:19,523 --> 00:39:20,732
Like, um,
684
00:39:20,733 --> 00:39:23,485
how'd you get on the circuit anyway?
685
00:39:23,486 --> 00:39:26,905
Well, I saw an ad for a rodeo school
686
00:39:26,906 --> 00:39:28,573
teaching women all kinds
of western dressage
687
00:39:28,574 --> 00:39:30,825
like cutting and reigning.
688
00:39:30,826 --> 00:39:33,453
After my third class, the
instructor encouraged me
689
00:39:33,454 --> 00:39:35,997
to join the junior rodeo tour.
690
00:39:35,998 --> 00:39:38,792
And uh, what made you get into
riding in the first place?
691
00:39:38,793 --> 00:39:41,711
My dad put me on the back
of a pretty wild horse
692
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:44,047
to turn me off riding when I was young.
693
00:39:44,048 --> 00:39:46,549
Needless to say,
his little prank backfired
694
00:39:46,550 --> 00:39:48,301
I guess.
695
00:39:48,302 --> 00:39:51,429
But it was the first time I
wasn't afraid to be myself.
696
00:39:51,430 --> 00:39:55,850
I felt confident and in control.
697
00:39:55,851 --> 00:39:59,437
It's a pretty big risk
to take on your dad's part.
698
00:39:59,438 --> 00:40:01,898
He was big on tough love,
very much believed
699
00:40:01,899 --> 00:40:03,901
what didn't kill you, made you stronger.
700
00:40:05,861 --> 00:40:07,821
What about your mom?
701
00:40:07,822 --> 00:40:11,491
She was in an accident when
I was still in junior high.
702
00:40:11,492 --> 00:40:13,243
My dad worked himself to the bone
703
00:40:13,244 --> 00:40:15,870
until he fell ill in my twenties.
704
00:40:15,871 --> 00:40:18,790
I spent a lot of time
on the road with him,
705
00:40:18,791 --> 00:40:21,209
but we never really laid down any roots.
706
00:40:21,210 --> 00:40:24,629
Nothing like what you
have here at the ranch.
707
00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:26,798
Where was home for you growing up?
708
00:40:26,799 --> 00:40:29,552
A caravan out on the rodeo circuit.
709
00:40:30,302 --> 00:40:32,470
Wait, so your dad was a rider?
710
00:40:32,471 --> 00:40:34,806
No, no. He worked as a stable hand.
711
00:40:34,807 --> 00:40:38,435
He'd let me help out and watch the events.
712
00:40:38,436 --> 00:40:41,104
I guess it's always been
a part of who I am.
713
00:40:41,105 --> 00:40:43,607
Definitely why I'm so
passionate about horses.
714
00:40:44,942 --> 00:40:47,110
And how'd he feel about
you becoming a rider?
715
00:40:47,111 --> 00:40:49,779
He hated it.
716
00:40:49,780 --> 00:40:52,574
He believed that rodeo was a man's sport
717
00:40:52,575 --> 00:40:54,952
and he held that position to the very end.
718
00:41:00,666 --> 00:41:02,667
What?
719
00:41:02,668 --> 00:41:05,128
Just impressive, what
you've done for yourself
720
00:41:05,129 --> 00:41:07,630
without any real support.
721
00:41:07,631 --> 00:41:09,883
Billy's been amazing.
722
00:41:09,884 --> 00:41:13,803
He's been a great friend and mentor.
723
00:41:13,804 --> 00:41:16,014
I don't want to let him down.
724
00:41:16,015 --> 00:41:17,057
Right.
725
00:41:21,061 --> 00:41:22,771
What about you two?
726
00:41:24,523 --> 00:41:26,524
What's Bill say?
727
00:41:26,525 --> 00:41:28,067
Bill doesn't say much.
728
00:41:28,068 --> 00:41:31,488
Hmm. Well,
729
00:41:31,489 --> 00:41:34,699
We've been living separate
lives for a while now,
730
00:41:34,700 --> 00:41:36,201
but there was a time when we were
731
00:41:36,202 --> 00:41:37,995
two boots of the same pair.
732
00:41:40,289 --> 00:41:42,999
We, uh, we used to sneak out at night
733
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,209
and we'd hang out till morning
734
00:41:44,210 --> 00:41:46,002
and then our parents would find us
735
00:41:46,003 --> 00:41:48,130
cuddled up in the hay,
sleeping with the horses.
736
00:41:50,674 --> 00:41:52,968
Sounds like you two were really close.
737
00:41:54,553 --> 00:41:56,514
So what happened?
738
00:41:58,015 --> 00:41:59,808
After they passed,
739
00:42:01,018 --> 00:42:02,686
It just changed.
740
00:42:05,731 --> 00:42:07,732
Are you sure that
you don't want to be a reporter
741
00:42:07,733 --> 00:42:09,859
because this was supposed to be about you.
742
00:42:12,196 --> 00:42:13,489
That's fair.
743
00:42:15,616 --> 00:42:17,325
Hey, hungry?
744
00:42:17,326 --> 00:42:19,244
I make a mean grilled cheese.
745
00:42:19,245 --> 00:42:20,079
Starving.
746
00:42:21,372 --> 00:42:22,206
Come on.
747
00:42:36,929 --> 00:42:40,015
Some of these decorations
haven't seen Christmas in a while,
748
00:42:40,891 --> 00:42:42,600
Yeah.
749
00:42:42,601 --> 00:42:44,687
So I'm gonna get you
in the holiday spirit.
750
00:42:45,646 --> 00:42:49,816
Well, figure if we are going to consider
hosting the Cowboy Carol,
751
00:42:49,817 --> 00:42:51,193
then we should be prepared.
752
00:42:51,986 --> 00:42:55,572
Especially if it's gonna raise some cash
for the ranch over the holidays.
753
00:42:55,573 --> 00:42:56,656
Mmm.
754
00:42:56,657 --> 00:42:58,409
Emma seems to think it'll be fun.
755
00:43:00,286 --> 00:43:01,954
I heard you two talking earlier.
756
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,373
Sounded friendly.
757
00:43:05,624 --> 00:43:07,167
Even heard some laughing.
758
00:43:08,127 --> 00:43:09,877
Didn't know laughing was a crime.
759
00:43:12,047 --> 00:43:13,424
Sounded good.
760
00:43:14,216 --> 00:43:16,510
Haven't heard much of that
around here in a while.
761
00:43:18,804 --> 00:43:20,598
So are you gonna stay for Christmas?
762
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:22,725
I'm not sure.
763
00:43:23,892 --> 00:43:25,603
The ranch does need the help, but…
764
00:43:26,437 --> 00:43:28,731
in the end it's all gonna depend on Bill.
765
00:43:33,736 --> 00:43:35,654
I think you should stay for Christmas.
766
00:43:39,783 --> 00:43:42,452
The arena is buzzing
with anticipation today
767
00:43:42,453 --> 00:43:45,496
as the crowd eagerly awaits the star
768
00:43:45,497 --> 00:43:49,167
of this year's holiday showcase,
Bill "Lightning" Halliday.
769
00:43:49,168 --> 00:43:52,795
This event is a true test
of skill and courage
770
00:43:52,796 --> 00:43:54,422
as competitors face off
771
00:43:54,423 --> 00:43:56,215
against unyielding broncs.
772
00:43:56,216 --> 00:43:58,468
And this is one of my favorite events.
773
00:43:58,469 --> 00:44:00,595
Let's see what Bill Halliday
is going to bring us.
774
00:44:00,596 --> 00:44:02,388
Gates are open. Here we go!
775
00:44:02,389 --> 00:44:03,890
Next up is crowd favorite
776
00:44:03,891 --> 00:44:06,017
Bill "Lighting" Halliday. And he's off!
777
00:44:06,018 --> 00:44:07,310
Oh, come on, come on, come on.
778
00:44:07,311 --> 00:44:10,104
This bronc
is not holding back…
779
00:44:10,105 --> 00:44:11,357
Tough break.
780
00:44:12,691 --> 00:44:16,111
Luckily nothing looks broken.
Maybe just just his bruised pride.
781
00:44:23,827 --> 00:44:26,162
Disappointing ride for Bill "Lightning".
782
00:44:26,163 --> 00:44:30,083
But this remains a reminder
of the untamed spirit of rodeo,
783
00:44:30,084 --> 00:44:33,587
where every ride
is a showdown with danger.
784
00:44:42,388 --> 00:44:44,681
Thank you for helping
with all the decorating.
785
00:44:44,682 --> 00:44:47,225
It's really starting to look
a lot like Christmas in here.
786
00:44:47,226 --> 00:44:48,143
Sure is.
787
00:44:49,561 --> 00:44:51,313
That's the least I could do
for all your help.
788
00:44:53,232 --> 00:44:57,152
So, so you have never had
a traditional Christmas?
789
00:44:57,986 --> 00:45:01,239
Tried to, but we'd always
finish one circuit
790
00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:03,741
right before Christmas
and then immediately hit
791
00:45:03,742 --> 00:45:05,118
the road onto the next one.
792
00:45:05,119 --> 00:45:06,620
Must have been hard as a kid.
793
00:45:08,205 --> 00:45:10,873
I guess you don't really miss
what you don't know.
794
00:45:10,874 --> 00:45:14,043
But your Christmases sounded incredible.
795
00:45:14,044 --> 00:45:17,630
Yeah, they were. Mom and Dad went all out.
796
00:45:17,631 --> 00:45:20,466
There was always lots of
family and friends in the house
797
00:45:20,467 --> 00:45:24,429
singing around the fire, games.
798
00:45:24,430 --> 00:45:27,181
And of course, Cowboy Carol.
799
00:45:27,182 --> 00:45:28,767
That sounded amazing.
800
00:45:29,393 --> 00:45:30,894
Yeah.
801
00:45:43,991 --> 00:45:44,825
Emma, um,
802
00:45:46,910 --> 00:45:48,036
I like you.
803
00:45:51,790 --> 00:45:52,748
But?
804
00:45:52,749 --> 00:45:54,293
No but.
805
00:45:56,128 --> 00:45:58,421
It's just, um,
806
00:45:58,422 --> 00:45:59,631
what about Bill?
807
00:46:01,383 --> 00:46:03,426
What about Bill?
808
00:46:03,427 --> 00:46:05,595
We're just friends.
809
00:46:05,596 --> 00:46:08,723
Strictly platonic and professional.
810
00:46:08,724 --> 00:46:11,058
And you're sure Bill sees it that way?
811
00:46:11,059 --> 00:46:13,270
Yes. I'm sure.
812
00:46:18,150 --> 00:46:19,943
I'm just trying to
do the right thing here.
813
00:46:21,820 --> 00:46:24,739
Why are you trying to
keep me at a distance
814
00:46:24,740 --> 00:46:27,366
when it's clear you're attracted to me?
815
00:46:27,367 --> 00:46:30,453
If you don't want to kiss me,
that's fine. Just say so.
816
00:46:30,454 --> 00:46:32,789
But don't make up excuses.
817
00:46:56,188 --> 00:46:58,065
Did that feel like I
didn't want to kiss you?
818
00:47:00,192 --> 00:47:03,444
Next time, don't play so hard to get.
819
00:47:03,445 --> 00:47:04,947
Yes ma'am.
820
00:47:22,506 --> 00:47:24,966
Yeah, I understand. Thank you.
821
00:47:24,967 --> 00:47:27,094
Come as soon as you can.
822
00:47:28,428 --> 00:47:31,514
What's wrong? Regal okay?
823
00:47:31,515 --> 00:47:33,099
She seems to be doing worse and
824
00:47:33,100 --> 00:47:35,269
Dr. Winshaw's out of town on a call.
825
00:47:36,562 --> 00:47:37,687
Hey girl.
826
00:47:37,688 --> 00:47:40,190
Oh, careful. She is in a foul mood.
827
00:47:41,858 --> 00:47:45,320
Hey. Hey girl. Yeah, I'm here to help.
828
00:47:49,533 --> 00:47:51,701
You know, sometimes they start to cramp up
829
00:47:51,702 --> 00:47:54,370
when they haven't moved in a while.
830
00:47:54,371 --> 00:47:56,163
I really should change that bandage.
831
00:47:56,164 --> 00:47:58,082
How do you know how to do that?
832
00:47:58,083 --> 00:47:59,835
Oh, a lot of time with
horses on the ranch.
833
00:48:01,378 --> 00:48:05,089
I actually wanted to go into
animal care before I enlisted.
834
00:48:05,090 --> 00:48:07,551
Is that something you'd
consider doing again?
835
00:48:09,094 --> 00:48:11,596
I hadn't really thought
about it in a while.
836
00:48:11,597 --> 00:48:12,848
But I did always want to pursue it.
837
00:48:17,686 --> 00:48:19,979
Well she's taken to you quite nicely.
838
00:48:19,980 --> 00:48:21,606
What about her rider?
839
00:48:21,607 --> 00:48:24,567
Hmm. You're growing on me.
840
00:48:24,568 --> 00:48:26,569
Hmm. You hear that?
841
00:48:26,570 --> 00:48:29,405
I'll take it.
842
00:48:29,406 --> 00:48:32,242
Well, am I growing on you?
843
00:48:34,494 --> 00:48:38,331
Well, like I said before,
I've opened up to you in ways
844
00:48:38,332 --> 00:48:41,084
that I haven't opened up to anyone.
845
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:43,253
Is that so?
846
00:48:44,546 --> 00:48:46,298
Yes ma'am.
847
00:48:48,675 --> 00:48:50,134
I hope I'm not intruding.
848
00:48:50,135 --> 00:48:51,385
No!
849
00:48:51,386 --> 00:48:52,429
- No.
- It's not…
850
00:48:53,430 --> 00:48:56,683
Hey, uh, no, not at all.
851
00:48:57,476 --> 00:48:59,435
Actually, it's a good thing you're here.
852
00:48:59,436 --> 00:49:01,937
Are you still doing that
part-time thing at the vets?
853
00:49:01,938 --> 00:49:03,356
I am. Yeah.
854
00:49:03,357 --> 00:49:06,484
Well Regal here, Emma's horse,
isn't doing so well
855
00:49:06,485 --> 00:49:08,986
and we're hoping to try
and get her an x-ray.
856
00:49:08,987 --> 00:49:10,488
Oh.
857
00:49:10,489 --> 00:49:13,407
Oh, that's okay. We can
wait for Dr. Winshaw.
858
00:49:13,408 --> 00:49:17,161
Oh, I actually work for Dr.
Winshaw on Saturday afternoons.
859
00:49:17,162 --> 00:49:20,165
Queen of the side hustle.
Finding myself daily.
860
00:49:21,333 --> 00:49:22,334
Oh.
861
00:49:23,001 --> 00:49:24,210
Do you mind?
862
00:49:24,211 --> 00:49:25,544
- Sure.
- Thank you.
863
00:49:25,545 --> 00:49:27,421
If you can get her in sooner,
that would be great.
864
00:49:27,422 --> 00:49:29,507
Oh, for sure. Hi!
865
00:49:29,508 --> 00:49:30,550
Here we go.
866
00:49:31,468 --> 00:49:32,302
Let's see.
867
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,389
Hi, beautiful.
868
00:49:36,390 --> 00:49:37,515
Here.
869
00:49:37,516 --> 00:49:38,766
Yeah.
870
00:49:38,767 --> 00:49:40,768
It looks to me like
the swelling's gone down,
871
00:49:40,769 --> 00:49:42,436
but the movement's not back.
872
00:49:42,437 --> 00:49:43,979
I'm worried it's a torn tendon.
873
00:49:43,980 --> 00:49:47,650
Yeah. Dr. Winshaw will have
to do an x-ray to confirm.
874
00:49:47,651 --> 00:49:50,403
She'll also need, uh, more rest.
875
00:49:50,404 --> 00:49:51,654
More rest, hey?
876
00:49:51,655 --> 00:49:53,240
Yeah.
877
00:50:01,581 --> 00:50:04,041
So, um, I brought pie.
878
00:50:05,210 --> 00:50:08,170
And I wanted to confirm the Cowboy Carol
879
00:50:08,171 --> 00:50:09,880
at your place this coming Friday.
880
00:50:09,881 --> 00:50:11,465
Yeah. I'm still thinking on that one.
881
00:50:11,466 --> 00:50:13,677
But, circling back to the pie,
882
00:50:14,261 --> 00:50:15,761
you guys want to go inside and eat some?
883
00:50:15,762 --> 00:50:17,639
I could use a slice of pie.
884
00:50:20,684 --> 00:50:23,687
And an explanation about
what you're doing back here, bro.
885
00:50:29,651 --> 00:50:30,943
Look, I'll leave.
886
00:50:30,944 --> 00:50:33,821
I, I guess I'm just confused about
why you came here in the first place.
887
00:50:33,822 --> 00:50:36,282
You said you wanted
nothing to do with the ranch.
888
00:50:36,283 --> 00:50:37,909
I was honorably discharged.
889
00:50:38,785 --> 00:50:41,078
I heard. You okay?
890
00:50:41,079 --> 00:50:43,080
Not really ready to talk about it.
891
00:50:43,081 --> 00:50:45,458
Just like always. I don't understand you.
892
00:50:45,459 --> 00:50:47,376
Great. I'll get my things.
I'll be out of your way.
893
00:50:47,377 --> 00:50:50,045
There you go again. Running away.
You can't run away from yourself, Noal.
894
00:50:50,046 --> 00:50:52,715
You're one to talk, being
out on the road all the time.
895
00:50:52,716 --> 00:50:54,049
Noal, hang on.
896
00:50:54,050 --> 00:50:55,968
You aren't going anywhere.
897
00:50:55,969 --> 00:50:57,762
He is your brother and it is Christmas
898
00:50:57,763 --> 00:50:59,972
and you're not letting him
leave after all these years.
899
00:50:59,973 --> 00:51:01,599
You just don't get it.
900
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,352
Well, maybe she doesn't, but I do.
901
00:51:06,521 --> 00:51:10,107
Your parents would be so
ashamed of you two right now.
902
00:51:10,108 --> 00:51:11,692
You guys need to work this out.
903
00:51:11,693 --> 00:51:14,236
And you know what, Emma is right?
904
00:51:14,237 --> 00:51:17,616
What better time than to
do it around the holidays?
905
00:51:20,952 --> 00:51:25,206
Oh shoot. I got to get back to the diner.
906
00:51:25,207 --> 00:51:28,417
Bill, I'm in charge of the
Cowboy Carol fundraiser
907
00:51:28,418 --> 00:51:31,462
this year and we would
like to host it here,
908
00:51:31,463 --> 00:51:33,714
at the ranch, just like we used to.
909
00:51:33,715 --> 00:51:35,550
No, if, ands or buts about it.
910
00:51:40,055 --> 00:51:41,305
Can I count on you too?
911
00:51:41,306 --> 00:51:44,059
I will help wrangle these two together.
912
00:51:48,772 --> 00:51:50,189
Yes ma'am.
913
00:51:50,190 --> 00:51:52,316
Great! All right.
914
00:51:52,317 --> 00:51:54,568
Well, they're all yours now.
915
00:51:54,569 --> 00:51:58,572
And I better see some good
old fashioned Christmas spirit
916
00:51:58,573 --> 00:51:59,824
around here.
917
00:51:59,825 --> 00:52:02,159
You know, bring this
ranch up to the majesty
918
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:03,869
of what it used to be around the holidays.
919
00:52:03,870 --> 00:52:05,747
Make your parents proud.
920
00:52:09,376 --> 00:52:10,377
Good luck.
921
00:52:15,257 --> 00:52:17,508
Guess you're staying.
922
00:52:17,509 --> 00:52:18,677
For now.
923
00:52:27,727 --> 00:52:30,730
Looks like you've been up to
some merry mischief around here.
924
00:52:45,787 --> 00:52:48,414
Billy, you were great out there.
925
00:52:48,415 --> 00:52:50,958
I wasn't in sync with
Dasher in that last event.
926
00:52:50,959 --> 00:52:55,004
Hopefully it doesn't ruin our
chances with the sponsor.
927
00:52:55,005 --> 00:52:56,505
That's the thing, I'm always so close,
928
00:52:56,506 --> 00:52:58,883
but there's always someone
just a little better.
929
00:52:58,884 --> 00:53:00,801
Massive prize purses
up for grabs each year,
930
00:53:00,802 --> 00:53:02,386
and I always seem to choke.
931
00:53:02,387 --> 00:53:04,513
Hey, that's the nature of the sport.
932
00:53:04,514 --> 00:53:09,310
Yeah. But if only I ranked
sooner, competed more.
933
00:53:09,311 --> 00:53:11,312
I had to stay back and care for the ranch
934
00:53:11,313 --> 00:53:13,856
when Noal decided to enlist.
935
00:53:13,857 --> 00:53:16,775
Wait, that's what you
two are fighting over?
936
00:53:16,776 --> 00:53:19,446
It's the only thing we've
been fighting over for years.
937
00:53:20,447 --> 00:53:22,031
I was on the circuit trying
938
00:53:22,032 --> 00:53:24,700
to build up my professional
ranking after years of training.
939
00:53:24,701 --> 00:53:28,203
Then when our parents passed,
pretty close to each other,
940
00:53:28,204 --> 00:53:30,664
he said he was leaving to enlist,
941
00:53:30,665 --> 00:53:33,500
following in our grandfather's footsteps.
942
00:53:33,501 --> 00:53:34,752
He's been gone for seven years
943
00:53:34,753 --> 00:53:36,546
and left me to take up the slack.
944
00:53:38,381 --> 00:53:41,759
Yeah. Well, Bill never had
the same sense of obligation
945
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:43,385
that I did as the oldest.
946
00:53:43,386 --> 00:53:46,221
He was encouraged to go off
and follow his rodeo dreams,
947
00:53:46,222 --> 00:53:48,432
whereas I was expected
to take care of the ranch
948
00:53:48,433 --> 00:53:50,559
and put my passions aside.
949
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,061
And your passion was the animals?
950
00:53:52,062 --> 00:53:54,855
Yeah. You know, I even got a scholarship
951
00:53:54,856 --> 00:53:56,440
to a veterinary school.
952
00:53:56,441 --> 00:53:58,442
It would've been great for the horses,
953
00:53:58,443 --> 00:54:00,611
but the time away studying would've meant
954
00:54:00,612 --> 00:54:04,031
leaving behind the family
ranch and the business. So…
955
00:54:04,032 --> 00:54:05,741
And you didn't tell anyone?
956
00:54:05,742 --> 00:54:07,242
Nope.
957
00:54:07,243 --> 00:54:11,622
And then after my parents died,
I just felt stuck.
958
00:54:11,623 --> 00:54:13,832
Everything here reminded me of them.
959
00:54:13,833 --> 00:54:17,711
So I was alone while Bill
got to run off to the rodeo.
960
00:54:17,712 --> 00:54:19,838
Then one day my friend Jake called me.
961
00:54:19,839 --> 00:54:21,423
He said he was enlisted.
962
00:54:21,424 --> 00:54:24,719
My grandfather had been in the army
and I always admired him for it.
963
00:54:26,346 --> 00:54:28,681
Anyway, that's when I decided
to join up and leave.
964
00:54:28,682 --> 00:54:30,767
Best decision I ever made.
965
00:54:44,322 --> 00:54:47,825
Great. I finally have
the two of you together.
966
00:54:47,826 --> 00:54:49,411
So you two need to talk.
967
00:54:52,622 --> 00:54:54,249
He's too stubborn.
968
00:54:55,083 --> 00:54:56,292
What?
969
00:55:09,347 --> 00:55:10,889
What are you up to?
970
00:55:10,890 --> 00:55:13,892
Oh, I've just been watching
the video of that last event
971
00:55:13,893 --> 00:55:15,894
over and over again.
972
00:55:15,895 --> 00:55:18,313
You'll get it next time.
973
00:55:18,314 --> 00:55:19,648
What is it you always say to me?
974
00:55:19,649 --> 00:55:21,608
You learn more from the letting go…
975
00:55:21,609 --> 00:55:24,069
Than the hanging on.
976
00:55:24,070 --> 00:55:26,363
Also, Kathleen called and
she was able to get an opening.
977
00:55:26,364 --> 00:55:27,990
I can take Regal in for an X-ray.
978
00:55:27,991 --> 00:55:29,742
That's great news. Okay, give me a second.
979
00:55:29,743 --> 00:55:30,868
I'll get ready.
980
00:55:30,869 --> 00:55:31,994
Uh…
981
00:55:31,995 --> 00:55:33,620
I'll go.
982
00:55:33,621 --> 00:55:35,372
Apparently Noal left you a note.
983
00:55:35,373 --> 00:55:37,791
Something about preparing this
place for the Cowboy Carol.
984
00:55:37,792 --> 00:55:38,626
Oh.
985
00:55:40,503 --> 00:55:42,880
Ready to kick off a holiday Christmas.
986
00:55:42,881 --> 00:55:45,716
First up, pick your own Christmas tree.
987
00:55:45,717 --> 00:55:48,552
Don't forget the saw,
I'll bring the muscle.
988
00:55:48,553 --> 00:55:49,554
Hmm.
989
00:55:52,474 --> 00:55:54,099
Did you read this?
990
00:55:54,100 --> 00:55:56,519
Nosiness is a Halliday trait.
991
00:56:00,398 --> 00:56:03,150
You okay with this?
992
00:56:03,151 --> 00:56:05,444
Us hosting the Cowboy Carol?
993
00:56:05,445 --> 00:56:06,570
Yeah, it's fine.
994
00:56:06,571 --> 00:56:09,656
You crushing on my brother, not really.
995
00:56:09,657 --> 00:56:12,534
I just want what's best for you.
996
00:56:12,535 --> 00:56:14,662
But you're both grownups.
You can do as you please.
997
00:56:15,538 --> 00:56:16,664
Bill.
998
00:56:18,041 --> 00:56:20,710
I don't want any broken hearts
around here this Christmas.
999
00:56:30,553 --> 00:56:33,430
You got to take all
your favorite ones like
1000
00:56:33,431 --> 00:56:34,598
this one says Noal.
1001
00:56:34,599 --> 00:56:36,934
And hang them on the
top right at the front.
1002
00:56:36,935 --> 00:56:38,560
And the ones that are
a little more simple,
1003
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:39,770
you kind of put on the bottom
1004
00:56:39,771 --> 00:56:41,898
so the goats don't break in and eat 'em.
1005
00:56:42,607 --> 00:56:45,109
It really happened when we were kids.
1006
00:56:45,110 --> 00:56:46,860
Goat friendly. Got it.
1007
00:56:46,861 --> 00:56:47,903
That's right.
1008
00:56:47,904 --> 00:56:49,863
What about Bill? Where does he go?
1009
00:56:49,864 --> 00:56:52,116
Oh, yeah, he goes on
the bottom and the back.
1010
00:56:52,117 --> 00:56:54,118
Oh, stop it.
1011
00:56:54,119 --> 00:56:55,869
It's too bad he's not here.
1012
00:56:55,870 --> 00:56:58,413
Well, it's going take a little
more than decorating a tree
1013
00:56:58,414 --> 00:57:00,375
to smooth things over between us.
1014
00:57:01,793 --> 00:57:05,921
What about you? When was
the last time you did this?
1015
00:57:05,922 --> 00:57:07,881
A while ago.
1016
00:57:07,882 --> 00:57:10,676
I got lots of invites from
rodeo friends over the years,
1017
00:57:10,677 --> 00:57:13,929
but motel Christmases
are all I've ever known.
1018
00:57:13,930 --> 00:57:16,433
But I always managed to hang a stocking.
1019
00:57:20,228 --> 00:57:22,938
Well, let's make sure we hang
your stocking this year.

I'm kidding.
1030
00:57:52,802 --> 00:57:55,679
They're perfect. They're going
to love it at the Cowboy Carol.
1031
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,639

decked the halls, as they say.

I did with you today.

00:59:58,177 --> 01:00:01,097
Justin told me you helped him
with the broken water pipe.
1058
01:00:02,223 --> 01:00:04,057
Thanks for dealing with that.
1059
01:00:04,058 --> 01:00:05,184
Yeah.
1060
01:00:07,562 --> 01:00:09,688
So what's the deal
with you and Emma?
1061
01:00:09,689 --> 01:00:11,481
Heard you two
were just working together.
1062
01:00:11,482 --> 01:00:13,568
I heard you were just passing through.
1063
01:00:15,612 --> 01:00:17,696
Should I come back?
1064
01:00:17,697 --> 01:00:19,657
Nope.
1065
01:00:20,617 --> 01:00:22,409
You two still at it?
1066
01:00:22,410 --> 01:00:24,202
We have exchanged a few words.
1067
01:00:24,203 --> 01:00:25,788
We're being civil.
1068
01:00:27,582 --> 01:00:28,957
So how's it with Regal?
1069
01:00:28,958 --> 01:00:30,792
She was great.
1070
01:00:30,793 --> 01:00:34,963
Dr. Winshaw said the x-ray
showed a minor ligament tear,
1071
01:00:34,964 --> 01:00:37,132
but that she'll be ready and raring to go
1072
01:00:37,133 --> 01:00:39,217
in time for the Christmas Eve events.
1073
01:00:39,218 --> 01:00:41,012
That's fantastic.
1074
01:00:42,221 --> 01:00:45,016
So, you ready to head out?
1075
01:00:48,645 --> 01:00:49,936
Actually, um,
1076
01:00:49,937 --> 01:00:51,938
I realized that I don't
have anything to wear
1077
01:00:51,939 --> 01:00:54,817
for the Cowboy Carol tonight,
so I'll see you boys later.
1078
01:00:56,611 --> 01:01:00,156
And uh, you two should talk, for real.
1079
01:01:06,913 --> 01:01:08,163
Great chat.
1080
01:01:08,164 --> 01:01:09,666
Always a slice, bro.
1081
01:01:23,179 --> 01:01:26,848
Wow. They have really
transformed this place.
1082
01:01:26,849 --> 01:01:28,685
Ooh, let's get some pie
before it's all gone.
1083
01:01:30,812 --> 01:01:35,482
Oh, well thank you so much
for helping out, Emma.
1084
01:01:35,483 --> 01:01:39,111
Couldn't have done it without
you roping up these guys.
1085
01:01:39,112 --> 01:01:40,070
None for me.
1086
01:01:40,071 --> 01:01:40,987
Hey!
1087
01:01:40,988 --> 01:01:42,155
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
1088
01:01:42,156 --> 01:01:44,950
Well, then. Let's go dancing, handsome.
1089
01:01:44,951 --> 01:01:46,035
Oh…
1090
01:01:50,081 --> 01:01:50,998
Whoo!
1091
01:01:53,126 --> 01:01:56,211
They look like they've been
dancing together for years.
1092
01:01:56,212 --> 01:01:58,130
Surprised they were never an item.
1093
01:01:58,131 --> 01:02:00,465
Oh, we've all been dancing
together for years.
1094
01:02:00,466 --> 01:02:02,342
Grew up together.
1095
01:02:02,343 --> 01:02:03,636
So what about you and Kathleen?
1096
01:02:05,763 --> 01:02:08,598
Uh, we never quite got there.
1097
01:02:08,599 --> 01:02:11,227
Always something or someone in the way.
1098
01:02:16,441 --> 01:02:19,443
You really do have a thing
for my brother, don't you?
1099
01:02:19,444 --> 01:02:21,486
We just met.
1100
01:02:21,487 --> 01:02:24,072
And he was brooding and serious
1101
01:02:24,073 --> 01:02:25,992
and annoying most of the time.
1102
01:02:26,743 --> 01:02:29,369
Yes to all of that.
1103
01:02:29,370 --> 01:02:31,330
He's just showing me a fun
Christmas, that's all.
1104
01:02:32,248 --> 01:02:34,083
Is that all?
1105
01:02:35,752 --> 01:02:37,335
I've always had a lot of guy friends.
1106
01:02:37,336 --> 01:02:38,962
You included.
1107
01:02:38,963 --> 01:02:41,048
With Noal it's different.
1108
01:02:44,260 --> 01:02:46,888
You don't mind? We're good, right?
1109
01:02:48,514 --> 01:02:49,515
We're good.
1110
01:02:58,065 --> 01:02:59,817
What's happening over there?
1111
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,987
What's happening where?
1112
01:03:03,988 --> 01:03:05,781
Come on, please.
1113
01:03:05,782 --> 01:03:07,240
I have known you since the days
1114
01:03:07,241 --> 01:03:11,286
of dirt sandwich picnics
in the tree house.
1115
01:03:11,287 --> 01:03:12,371
That's true.
1116
01:03:13,331 --> 01:03:14,165
Well?
1117
01:03:15,500 --> 01:03:16,833
Doesn't matter.
1118
01:03:16,834 --> 01:03:20,046
She's heading back
to the circuit soon, with Bill.
1119
01:03:20,922 --> 01:03:22,131
- Oh!
- Yeah.
1120
01:03:32,183 --> 01:03:33,391
Mind if I cut in?
1121
01:03:33,392 --> 01:03:34,936
Not at all.
1122
01:03:47,114 --> 01:03:48,448
Not even gonna ask?
1123
01:03:48,449 --> 01:03:49,783
Don't have to.
1124
01:03:49,784 --> 01:03:51,910
I saw you watching me
and Kathleen on the dance floor.
1125
01:03:51,911 --> 01:03:53,954
- What?
- It's okay.
1126
01:03:53,955 --> 01:03:55,497
I was watching you and Bill too.
1127
01:03:55,498 --> 01:03:58,208
Oh, don't start that again.
1128
01:03:58,209 --> 01:03:59,584
Billy and I are--
1129
01:03:59,585 --> 01:04:01,003
Aren't the ones dancing. I know.
1130
01:04:03,881 --> 01:04:05,423
So, you're having a good time?
1131
01:04:05,424 --> 01:04:06,634
I'm having a great time.
1132
01:04:07,426 --> 01:04:10,596
Yeah, this reminds me
of all the years we used to host.
1133
01:04:11,305 --> 01:04:13,641
My mom would be thrilled
to see all the people out here.
1134
01:04:15,601 --> 01:04:18,061
Do you miss it, being away?
1135
01:04:18,062 --> 01:04:19,480
Cowboy Carol?
1136
01:04:20,147 --> 01:04:21,189
No.
1137
01:04:22,525 --> 01:04:24,151
No, I mean being home.
1138
01:04:24,694 --> 01:04:25,778
The ranch.
1139
01:04:26,279 --> 01:04:27,113
Yeah.
1140
01:04:28,197 --> 01:04:29,657
More than I realized.
1141
01:04:32,076 --> 01:04:34,287
Have you thought about
what you're gonna do now?
1142
01:04:35,413 --> 01:04:36,705
I have to figure it out soon
1143
01:04:36,706 --> 01:04:39,333
because I think Bill's too thrilled
with me being back.
1144
01:04:40,084 --> 01:04:41,544
I don't think that's true.
1145
01:04:42,211 --> 01:04:44,046
He loves having you home.
1146
01:04:45,339 --> 01:04:46,382
There's just…
1147
01:04:46,966 --> 01:04:48,968
A lot of history and hurt.
1148
01:04:50,011 --> 01:04:51,012
Yeah.
1149
01:05:01,772 --> 01:05:04,065
So when is she leaving?
1150
01:05:04,066 --> 01:05:07,028
Oh, come on, Kathleen.
1151
01:05:07,737 --> 01:05:10,739
You and Noal have known
each other long enough.
1152
01:05:10,740 --> 01:05:13,116
Probably since preschool.
1153
01:05:13,117 --> 01:05:16,328
And how many times
1154
01:05:16,329 --> 01:05:19,122
have you thought
you might be more than friends?
1155
01:05:19,123 --> 01:05:20,374
Hmm.
1156
01:05:22,084 --> 01:05:25,671
Not as many times as I thought of you.
1157
01:05:27,924 --> 01:05:29,925
If you and I were meant to be together,
1158
01:05:29,926 --> 01:05:31,552
it would've happened by now.
1159
01:05:32,178 --> 01:05:34,137
Maybe times have changed.
1160
01:05:34,138 --> 01:05:35,514
What about now?
1161
01:05:57,370 --> 01:06:00,164
- Such a great party.
- Aw. Thank you.
1162
01:06:02,249 --> 01:06:05,252
Okay, I'm just going to
take this to the car.
1163
01:06:08,130 --> 01:06:11,257
So, um, see you tomorrow, handsome?
1164
01:06:11,258 --> 01:06:12,468
You bet.
1165
01:06:24,981 --> 01:06:27,565
We sure got off to quite a ruckus tonight.
1166
01:06:27,566 --> 01:06:29,567
It's been a while.
1167
01:06:29,568 --> 01:06:31,486
A lot of people.
1168
01:06:31,487 --> 01:06:34,031
It's kind of doing my
head in a little bit.
1169
01:06:35,116 --> 01:06:38,285
Maybe a special woman in particular.
1170
01:06:40,037 --> 01:06:44,207
Yeah. But, uh,
1171
01:06:44,208 --> 01:06:46,419
some other things on my mind too.
1172
01:06:48,379 --> 01:06:50,172
Look, man…
1173
01:06:51,298 --> 01:06:53,341
I'd love for you to stay at the ranch.
1174
01:06:53,342 --> 01:06:55,427
I appreciate that, but I
know it's not that easy.
1175
01:06:55,428 --> 01:06:57,262
It doesn't have to be that hard.
1176
01:06:57,263 --> 01:06:59,180
I'm away on the circuit a lot.
1177
01:06:59,181 --> 01:07:00,765
I could use a Halliday overseeing things.
1178
01:07:00,766 --> 01:07:02,350
I know it's not the life you wanted.
1179
01:07:02,351 --> 01:07:05,228
No, it's not that it
wasn't the life I wanted.
1180
01:07:05,229 --> 01:07:07,147
I love the land and the animals,
1181
01:07:07,148 --> 01:07:09,483
but I wanted more.
1182
01:07:11,235 --> 01:07:13,611
I mean, what is it that
Gramps always said?
1183
01:07:13,612 --> 01:07:16,364
Get out there and see the
world while it's still there.
1184
01:07:16,365 --> 01:07:17,449
I know.
1185
01:07:17,450 --> 01:07:20,118
And I didn't have that same pressure
1186
01:07:20,119 --> 01:07:23,830
to run the ranch and serve.
1187
01:07:23,831 --> 01:07:26,082
You must have resented that.
1188
01:07:26,083 --> 01:07:29,377
No, I was happy for you.
1189
01:07:29,378 --> 01:07:34,049
You were clearly the rider of
the family, taking after Mom.
1190
01:07:34,050 --> 01:07:35,551
I'm proud of you for
following your dreams.
1191
01:07:37,219 --> 01:07:39,138
It's just after Mom and Dad passed,
1192
01:07:41,057 --> 01:07:43,433
I needed to get away from it all.
1193
01:07:43,434 --> 01:07:46,020
You know, the pressures
of the family legacy.
1194
01:07:47,688 --> 01:07:49,356
If I'm being honest,
1195
01:07:50,524 --> 01:07:52,442
I was scared that
I wouldn't be able to live up
1196
01:07:52,443 --> 01:07:55,111
to their expectations.
1197
01:07:55,112 --> 01:07:57,073
And I needed to figure out who I was.
1198
01:07:59,533 --> 01:08:01,118
I know about vet school.
1199
01:08:02,661 --> 01:08:04,662
Emma tell you?
1200
01:08:04,663 --> 01:08:07,248
You told Emma?
1201
01:08:07,249 --> 01:08:09,251
Wow. You two must have really connected.
1202
01:08:10,252 --> 01:08:12,796
So if she didn't tell you, how'd you know?
1203
01:08:12,797 --> 01:08:15,256
I found your scholarship
letter a few years back.
1204
01:08:15,257 --> 01:08:17,384
I'm sorry you felt you
couldn't go through with it.
1205
01:08:19,553 --> 01:08:22,555
Different dream for a
different life, I guess.
1206
01:08:22,556 --> 01:08:25,559
Maybe a new dream for a new future.
1207
01:08:26,268 --> 01:08:27,812
Look at us getting all poetic.
1208
01:08:30,648 --> 01:08:32,233
Maybe you're right.
1209
01:08:33,984 --> 01:08:36,694
Listen, if you want me
to stick around the ranch
1210
01:08:36,695 --> 01:08:37,987
so you can focus on the circuit,
1211
01:08:37,988 --> 01:08:39,989
especially if you're close
to locking down a sponsor,
1212
01:08:39,990 --> 01:08:40,908
I'll do it.
1213
01:08:41,575 --> 01:08:43,244
But only if it's what you want.
1214
01:08:47,164 --> 01:08:48,541
Works for me, brother.
1215
01:09:05,141 --> 01:09:07,684
Saw you at the
Cowboy Carol last night.
1216
01:09:07,685 --> 01:09:11,437
Glad to see you enjoying
the holiday festivities.
1217
01:09:11,438 --> 01:09:14,400
Uh, you know, trying
to embrace the season.
1218
01:09:15,484 --> 01:09:17,610
How are you and Bill?
1219
01:09:17,611 --> 01:09:20,447
You know, we're going to try
and set our differences aside.
1220
01:09:21,490 --> 01:09:25,285
Leave the past where
it belongs and move on.
1221
01:09:25,286 --> 01:09:28,872
Wow. Sounds like you're truly embracing
1222
01:09:28,873 --> 01:09:31,708
the spirit of the holidays.
1223
01:09:31,709 --> 01:09:34,419
I've got some help from a friend lately.
1224
01:09:34,420 --> 01:09:36,296
She's a good listener like you,
1225
01:09:36,297 --> 01:09:41,093
which made me realize it's…
it's time for peace.
1226
01:09:41,802 --> 01:09:46,014
Peace, joy, reconciliation.
1227
01:09:46,015 --> 01:09:48,808
Where are we on forgiveness?
1228
01:09:48,809 --> 01:09:53,230
That one's a little tougher,
but I think I'm ready.
1229
01:09:56,233 --> 01:09:58,777
You sure you want to do this?
1230
01:10:00,237 --> 01:10:02,364
It should be me.
1231
01:10:37,441 --> 01:10:41,695
He deserves to be honored, and remembered.
1232
01:10:44,031 --> 01:10:47,743
He was a good man, and a good friend.
1233
01:11:03,926 --> 01:11:07,053
He loved you and the kids so much.
1234
01:11:07,054 --> 01:11:09,473
It's all he ever talked about.
1235
01:11:11,767 --> 01:11:13,560
I just wish I could have done more.
1236
01:11:15,145 --> 01:11:17,856
Thank you for always being there for him.
1237
01:11:22,778 --> 01:11:25,531
I know there is nothing more
you could have possibly done.
1238
01:11:44,049 --> 01:11:45,341
Hello?
1239
01:11:45,342 --> 01:11:47,176
Hey Emma, how are you?
1240
01:11:47,177 --> 01:11:49,304
I haven't seen you at the showcase yet.
1241
01:11:49,305 --> 01:11:51,806
Oh, unfortunately my
horse Regal was injured
1242
01:11:51,807 --> 01:11:54,017
and I couldn't bear
to compete without her.
1243
01:11:54,018 --> 01:11:55,727
I'm hoping to get clearance
from the vet today,
1244
01:11:55,728 --> 01:11:57,854
but I plan on being
at the Christmas Eve event.
1245
01:11:57,855 --> 01:12:01,482
Well, that's good news because
I'm calling to offer you a spot
1246
01:12:01,483 --> 01:12:03,359
at our Christmas Eve showcase
1247
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:07,614
and to shoot a promo
for our new line of riding gear.
1248
01:12:09,116 --> 01:12:11,909
Is that a yes or…
1249
01:12:11,910 --> 01:12:14,662
Uh, yes, of course.
1250
01:12:14,663 --> 01:12:17,040
I'm sorry, I… I don't understand.
1251
01:12:17,041 --> 01:12:20,335
Well, one of our riders pulled out
due to family obligations
1252
01:12:20,336 --> 01:12:21,586
and so we thought of you.
1253
01:12:21,587 --> 01:12:23,964
You are a part
of Bill Halliday's team, right?
1254
01:12:24,631 --> 01:12:26,049
Yes, I am.
1255
01:12:26,050 --> 01:12:28,551
But I thought that Vintage
Western Rodeo wasn't sure
1256
01:12:28,552 --> 01:12:30,720
about sponsorship with us
because of Bill's last run.
1257
01:12:30,721 --> 01:12:34,390
Oh, we understand
that everybody has bad days.
1258
01:12:34,391 --> 01:12:36,809
We just needed a little more time.
1259
01:12:36,810 --> 01:12:40,980
I am convinced that you
and Bill will be a good fit for us,
1260
01:12:40,981 --> 01:12:43,691
especially if you could help us
out of this last minute jam.
1261
01:12:43,692 --> 01:12:47,111
Yes, of course. Thank you so much.
1262
01:12:47,112 --> 01:12:49,948
No, thank you darling. Speak soon.
1263
01:13:01,377 --> 01:13:03,878
Meet me for a ride in the trails.
1264
01:13:03,879 --> 01:13:04,922

01:13:42,126 --> 01:13:43,710
More than I thought I would.
1273
01:13:45,629 --> 01:13:46,964
It has a lot to do with you.
1274
01:13:47,631 --> 01:13:50,675
Well, I'm just happy you and Bill
were able to sort out your differences.
1275
01:13:50,676 --> 01:13:53,928
Yeah, me too. Long time coming.
1276
01:13:53,929 --> 01:13:55,097
Yeah.
1277
01:13:56,473 --> 01:13:58,141
Are you okay?
1278
01:13:58,142 --> 01:13:59,935
Yeah, um…
1279
01:14:01,979 --> 01:14:03,730
I'm going to stay.
1280
01:14:05,232 --> 01:14:06,817
For how long?
1281
01:14:08,861 --> 01:14:11,070
Maybe permanently.
1282
01:14:11,071 --> 01:14:12,780
Wow.
1283
01:14:12,781 --> 01:14:13,907
Yeah.
1284
01:14:15,075 --> 01:14:18,744
Wow good or wow bad?
1285
01:14:18,745 --> 01:14:22,123
Wow, whatever makes you happy.
1286
01:14:22,124 --> 01:14:27,879
Yeah, well, being here,
the event last night just,
1287
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:29,964
it stirred up all kinds of
good memories with family
1288
01:14:29,965 --> 01:14:34,720
and just got me thinking what
it would mean to have my own.
1289
01:14:38,348 --> 01:14:39,933
And I have you to thank for that.
1290
01:14:44,062 --> 01:14:48,941
So I, I was wondering
if you might consider
1291
01:14:48,942 --> 01:14:52,278
staying here with me.
1292
01:14:52,279 --> 01:14:54,781
Or at least make this a home base.
1293
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,994
Uh, I don't know.
1294
01:15:02,873 --> 01:15:05,917
Not the reaction I was hoping for.
1295
01:15:05,918 --> 01:15:09,170
I told you I'm not used
to staying in one place
1296
01:15:09,171 --> 01:15:10,296
for a long time.
1297
01:15:10,297 --> 01:15:12,006
Oh, I know.
1298
01:15:12,007 --> 01:15:17,345
But you convinced me to
heal little wounds and
1299
01:15:17,346 --> 01:15:20,390
I just thought maybe you would
want to be still for a while.
1300
01:15:25,187 --> 01:15:26,604
I'm, I'm freaking you out.
1301
01:15:26,605 --> 01:15:27,898
No. No, no.
1302
01:15:29,191 --> 01:15:33,653
I'm just surprised I guess
by the sudden change of heart.
1303
01:15:33,654 --> 01:15:38,115
I'm sorry. This is coming
out of nowhere I guess.
1304
01:15:38,116 --> 01:15:39,743
No. No, no, no, it's not…
1305
01:15:40,536 --> 01:15:42,829
We've been connecting.
1306
01:15:44,248 --> 01:15:47,083
Yeah. So you, you feel it too?
1307
01:15:47,084 --> 01:15:50,628
Of course I do.
1308
01:15:50,629 --> 01:15:53,674
But I'm going back to the circuit.
1309
01:15:54,883 --> 01:15:57,052
Is that all that you see for yourself?
1310
01:16:00,430 --> 01:16:02,975
That's all I've ever known.
1311
01:16:06,728 --> 01:16:09,106
What if we could have something more?
1312
01:16:12,901 --> 01:16:14,528
You don't want that.
1313
01:16:15,779 --> 01:16:17,113
Noal…
1314
01:16:17,114 --> 01:16:19,031
Emma. You don't have to say anything.
1315
01:16:19,032 --> 01:16:21,701
You already did.
1316
01:16:21,702 --> 01:16:23,662
I just wasn't listening.
1317
01:16:26,582 --> 01:16:27,833
I'm sorry.
1318
01:16:40,345 --> 01:16:42,763
She's ready to go.
1319
01:16:42,764 --> 01:16:45,099
Well, she felt great
in the trails earlier.
1320
01:16:45,100 --> 01:16:47,059
Are you sure she's ready for competition?
1321
01:16:47,060 --> 01:16:50,230
She is. But are you?
1322
01:16:53,150 --> 01:16:55,902
This place has a way of
growing on you, doesn't it?
1323
01:16:57,112 --> 01:16:58,155
It sure does.
1324
01:17:00,365 --> 01:17:01,782
Have a Merry Christmas.
1325
01:17:01,783 --> 01:17:02,951
You too.
1326
01:17:07,497 --> 01:17:08,998
Well, what's the verdict?
1327
01:17:08,999 --> 01:17:10,750
She's ready to ride.
1328
01:17:10,751 --> 01:17:12,168
Oh, that's great.
1329
01:17:12,169 --> 01:17:13,961
Yeah, so I guess I, I
can help win some prizes
1330
01:17:13,962 --> 01:17:15,963
and secure that sponsorship after all.
1331
01:17:15,964 --> 01:17:18,466
But that means you can't
stay for Christmas Eve.
1332
01:17:18,467 --> 01:17:21,719
Nah, Christmas has always
just been another day for me.
1333
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:24,723
You sure? Because I thought
this year was different.
1334
01:17:26,266 --> 01:17:27,808
I want to do this Bill.
1335
01:17:27,809 --> 01:17:30,937
Don't worry, I won't let you down.
1336
01:17:42,658 --> 01:17:44,283
You leaving?
1337
01:17:44,284 --> 01:17:47,119
Yeah. Regal's all better
1338
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:49,830
so we have to head to the
Christmas showcase
1339
01:17:49,831 --> 01:17:52,708
to secure the Vintage
Western Rodeo sponsorship.
1340
01:17:52,709 --> 01:17:54,877
Listen, I know I freaked you out earlier.
1341
01:17:54,878 --> 01:17:58,214
No, no you didn't.
1342
01:17:58,215 --> 01:18:02,677
It's just my dream is the rodeo circuit
1343
01:18:02,678 --> 01:18:05,179
and I'm not willing to give
that up or settle down
1344
01:18:05,180 --> 01:18:06,222
for anyone.
1345
01:18:06,223 --> 01:18:08,683
- I know.
- Not yet.
1346
01:18:08,684 --> 01:18:11,477
And I don't want you to abandon your dream
1347
01:18:11,478 --> 01:18:13,062
or feel you have to postpone it.
1348
01:18:13,063 --> 01:18:14,897
It happened to me and I know how it feels.
1349
01:18:14,898 --> 01:18:19,194
Okay. So me leaving makes
sense for the both of us.
1350
01:18:20,404 --> 01:18:22,155
How about that?
1351
01:18:24,908 --> 01:18:27,244
I'm not sure it has to
be one or the other.
1352
01:18:28,495 --> 01:18:31,372
Well, clearly you've not had
to juggle a relationship
1353
01:18:31,373 --> 01:18:35,459
a family, kids, with the
rodeo circuit lifestyle.
1354
01:18:35,460 --> 01:18:36,919
Women have to work a lot harder
1355
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:39,047
to prove themselves
in this industry, Noal.
1356
01:18:40,006 --> 01:18:41,590
My mom did.
1357
01:18:41,591 --> 01:18:44,719
It wasn't always easy, but she
found a way to make it work.
1358
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:48,097
And with my dad's support, she
was able to follow her passions
1359
01:18:48,098 --> 01:18:50,391
and raise the family that she wanted.
1360
01:18:50,392 --> 01:18:53,561
And you and Bill never felt
like you were missing anything
1361
01:18:53,562 --> 01:18:55,354
while she was away competing?
1362
01:18:55,355 --> 01:18:58,858
Oh, we were proud of her.
We loved watching her ride.
1363
01:18:58,859 --> 01:19:01,611
And she lit up every time
she did what she loved.
1364
01:19:03,363 --> 01:19:05,407
Like you do.
1365
01:19:06,116 --> 01:19:07,950
I may have taken a peek at a few of your
1366
01:19:07,951 --> 01:19:10,911
competition videos online.
1367
01:19:10,912 --> 01:19:14,582
Look, I'm not asking you to move here,
1368
01:19:14,583 --> 01:19:17,084
settle down, marry me, have kids
1369
01:19:17,085 --> 01:19:19,170
while you're trying
to conquer the rodeo world.
1370
01:19:19,171 --> 01:19:22,256
You're not?
1371
01:19:22,257 --> 01:19:24,091
I'm not, not saying that.
1372
01:19:25,343 --> 01:19:30,848
All I'm saying right now is you can stay.
1373
01:19:30,849 --> 01:19:32,308
Let me give you a real Christmas
1374
01:19:32,309 --> 01:19:35,770
and you get back out
there in the new year.
1375
01:19:35,771 --> 01:19:39,064
Think about it.
1376
01:19:39,065 --> 01:19:41,485
And have a good ride.
1377
01:19:54,873 --> 01:19:59,835
Oh wow. You look amazing.
1378
01:19:59,836 --> 01:20:01,295
Thank you.
1379
01:20:01,296 --> 01:20:03,672
And thank you so much again
for offering me this spot.
1380
01:20:03,673 --> 01:20:06,008
Oh no. Bill Halliday is fantastic.
1381
01:20:06,009 --> 01:20:09,512
And you two make the
perfect fit for our brand.
1382
01:20:09,513 --> 01:20:11,972
We are thrilled to be
sponsoring you in the new year
1383
01:20:11,973 --> 01:20:14,935
at different events, where
you'll be wearing our line.
1384
01:20:17,187 --> 01:20:20,815
Grace, can I propose an idea to you?
1385
01:20:20,816 --> 01:20:24,360
Sure. What's on your mind?
1386
01:20:24,361 --> 01:20:27,988
What if my brand work
with Vintage Western Rodeo
1387
01:20:27,989 --> 01:20:31,367
wasn't only reserved for
competing or in the arena?
1388
01:20:31,368 --> 01:20:35,079
I'm talking daily content,
behind the scenes,
1389
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:36,914
training clips, wearing your clothing,
1390
01:20:36,915 --> 01:20:39,041
highlighting your gear.
1391
01:20:39,042 --> 01:20:40,668
I'm listening.
1392
01:20:40,669 --> 01:20:42,336
I'm bunking at a horse ranch right now
1393
01:20:42,337 --> 01:20:45,548
that would be an amazing
backdrop for your brand.
1394
01:20:45,549 --> 01:20:49,385
We could do at home and
away on the road campaigns,
1395
01:20:49,386 --> 01:20:51,346
really build a following.
1396
01:20:53,431 --> 01:20:54,808
Sounds interesting.
1397
01:21:08,905 --> 01:21:10,239
Don't mind if I do.
1398
01:21:14,911 --> 01:21:16,705
Emma just secured the sponsorship.
1399
01:21:21,334 --> 01:21:23,295
No way. That's great.
1400
01:21:26,673 --> 01:21:28,258
Tell her I say congratulations.
1401
01:21:29,885 --> 01:21:31,135
Tell her yourself.
1402
01:21:31,136 --> 01:21:33,304
And maybe while you're at it,
tell her how you really feel.
1403
01:21:33,305 --> 01:21:34,889
I tried.
1404
01:21:34,890 --> 01:21:38,601
Look, I talked to her.
1405
01:21:38,602 --> 01:21:41,395
I didn't run away and I still
got the door slammed in my face.
1406
01:21:41,396 --> 01:21:42,938
Mm-hmm.
1407
01:21:42,939 --> 01:21:45,483
Yeah, I bet you said something
complicated and confusing.
1408
01:21:46,234 --> 01:21:47,903
Just tell her you love her, man.
1409
01:21:48,945 --> 01:21:51,113
That girl has a runaway heart.
1410
01:21:51,114 --> 01:21:53,073
I'd be a fool to try and tame it.
1411
01:21:53,074 --> 01:21:55,576
And I didn't hear you tell her to stay.
1412
01:21:55,577 --> 01:21:58,537
That is the task of a boyfriend.
Not someone she works with.
1413
01:21:58,538 --> 01:22:00,581
I need her competing.
1414
01:22:00,582 --> 01:22:03,417
Well, Emma has dreams.
1415
01:22:03,418 --> 01:22:05,377
I'm not going to stand in the way of that.
1416
01:22:05,378 --> 01:22:07,546
There's no need to. You support her.
1417
01:22:07,547 --> 01:22:10,174
I thought I was supposed to be
sticking around here helping you
1418
01:22:10,175 --> 01:22:11,967
Now, I said you're welcome to.
1419
01:22:11,968 --> 01:22:14,053
It doesn't mean you have to.
1420
01:22:14,054 --> 01:22:15,679
She doesn't want me on the road.
1421
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:17,056
I'm just going to get in her way.
1422
01:22:17,057 --> 01:22:18,182
Well, then stay.
1423
01:22:18,183 --> 01:22:21,101
Well let her be or find another way.
1424
01:22:21,102 --> 01:22:23,062
Just like Mom and Dad did.
1425
01:22:23,063 --> 01:22:26,482
I saw the way the two of you were together
and it's something special.
1426
01:22:26,483 --> 01:22:29,234
Don't go throwing that away
because you're afraid of getting hurt.
1427
01:22:29,235 --> 01:22:31,279
You took a bullet to the lung.
1428
01:22:33,073 --> 01:22:35,074
And yet nothing makes it
more difficult to breathe
1429
01:22:35,075 --> 01:22:36,618
than our relentless questions.
1430
01:22:39,287 --> 01:22:41,206
I just can't get her out of my head, man.
1431
01:22:47,462 --> 01:22:50,131
Then let's go to her.
Let's go see her compete.
1432
01:22:52,759 --> 01:22:54,010
You're right.
1433
01:22:56,137 --> 01:22:58,431
She's going to be
surprised to see you.
1434
01:23:01,977 --> 01:23:02,936
Going somewhere?
1435
01:23:03,812 --> 01:23:05,814
We were just coming
to watch you in action.
1436
01:23:06,481 --> 01:23:07,691
What are you doing here?
1437
01:23:08,358 --> 01:23:11,403
I wanted to come tell you
how I really feel first.
1438
01:23:12,487 --> 01:23:13,321
Yeah.
1439
01:23:21,371 --> 01:23:23,998
I want to spend Christmas
with you.
1440
01:23:23,999 --> 01:23:25,959
What about the sponsorship?
1441
01:23:26,584 --> 01:23:29,461
I got it. I'm wearing the stuff
for the competitions.
1442
01:23:29,462 --> 01:23:33,590
And they also agreed to sweeten
the deal with an online campaign
1443
01:23:33,591 --> 01:23:35,718
so I can follow my dreams on my own terms.
1444
01:23:35,719 --> 01:23:36,761
All right.
1445
01:23:37,595 --> 01:23:39,389
But what about the big showcase?
1446
01:23:41,016 --> 01:23:44,352
I have never had
a real place to call home.
1447
01:23:44,978 --> 01:23:47,187
Or a traditional family Christmas.
1448
01:23:47,188 --> 01:23:50,274
Or someone I truly care about losing.
1449
01:23:50,275 --> 01:23:53,777
And I don't think I have
to sacrifice all that for rodeo life.
1450
01:23:53,778 --> 01:23:56,781
I want to spend
the holidays with a family.
1451
01:23:58,074 --> 01:24:00,285
And I want a chance at true love.
1452
01:24:02,662 --> 01:24:05,122
That is the best news
I've gotten in a long time.
1453
01:24:08,543 --> 01:24:13,590
Look, I spent the last seven years
serving my country and traveling around.
1454
01:24:14,257 --> 01:24:17,969
And I'm perfectly prepared
to travel around with you.
1455
01:24:18,595 --> 01:24:19,887
I will support your dream
1456
01:24:19,888 --> 01:24:22,222
and I will be in those stands
if you want me to be.
1457
01:24:22,223 --> 01:24:24,476
But what about the ranch?
1458
01:24:25,351 --> 01:24:28,979
Settling down, laying down,
roots, starting a family?
1459
01:24:28,980 --> 01:24:30,482
I'm willing to do that here.
1460
01:24:31,524 --> 01:24:35,236
Let me be that place in the arms
you can fall into after a long day.
1461
01:24:35,820 --> 01:24:37,989
This ranch is always
gonna be here for you.
1462
01:24:39,074 --> 01:24:40,365
No matter what.
1463
01:24:40,366 --> 01:24:41,367
When you're ready.
1464
01:24:42,869 --> 01:24:45,371
But I gotta tell you,
I've fallen for you, Emma.
1465
01:24:46,831 --> 01:24:47,665
Hard.
1466
01:24:50,085 --> 01:24:51,336
Same here.
1467
01:24:52,754 --> 01:24:55,632
I've taken spills off of Regal
that didn't hit me this hard.
1468
01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:58,551
Fair.
1469
01:25:01,763 --> 01:25:03,014
I'm glad you came home.
1470
01:25:03,765 --> 01:25:05,349
I'm happy you were in my bed.
1471
01:25:06,768 --> 01:25:09,436
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
1472
01:25:11,481 --> 01:25:14,566
Thank you for giving me
the best Christmas I've ever had.
1473
01:25:14,567 --> 01:25:18,113
Well, I have a lifetime
of Christmases planned for you.
1474
01:25:18,947 --> 01:25:20,698
Whether it's here or the ranch,
1475
01:25:21,366 --> 01:25:23,827
we're going to make
every one of 'em special.
1476
01:25:24,953 --> 01:25:26,079
As long as we're together.
1477
01:25:29,707 --> 01:25:31,459
Merry Christmas, Noal.
