Beyond Black Beauty (2024) s01e06 Episode Script

Previously on
Beyond Black Beauty.
This rodeo is important to this
family, it means
it's important to me.
It's your father.
He's finally been charged.
- Did you know?
- Know what?
Turns out, he's the reason
my parents have been fighting.
He scammed
Norah's parents.
I know we promised no more
secrets, but the
truth is, I knew.
You don't forgive someone
because they deserve it.
It's a gift.
Up for a family ride?
Papa?
I have so much to tell you.
Beauty is amazing.
I mean, she gave us all
heart attacks in the beginning,
but she's really
coming into her own.
And I met Gretchen Müller.
She's everything
I thought she'd be.
And I'm sorry,
I will shut up now.
No. Tell me everything.
My God, I missed you.
I missed you too.
And we were so worried,
but now you're here.
I'm here.
How is that exactly?
I'm not on the run.
I made a deal.
Well, what does that mean?
Instead of prison,
I will pay a fine to the court,
do some community service,
and pay back
the people I hurt
with interest.
And Norah's parents?
They were first on my list.
I'm so, I'm so sorry.
You don't deserve this.
Neither of you do.
I was selfish.
I never wanted to hurt
the people I love the most.
Never.
I'm surprised the
court was so lenient.
How do we thank Thom
for coming through like this?
Thom
gave it a good fight,
but it was my father
who convinced them
that I will not waste
my second chance,
and, um, I won't.
The great Judge
Dumont saves the day.
How much is that gonna cost us?
I don't know.
It was worth it, though.
I would have done anything
to go back to you guys.
Well, I'm happy
you're here, Papa.
Hey.
Mm.
Now that we're together,
we can finally go back home.
Thank God.
Hey, uh, rodeo's in four days.
Jolie, you and Beauty
need to work on your speed.
You need to relax.
Hey, look, this is my year.
Nothing's standing in my way.
I'm gonna crush Isabel, and then
we're gonna take out her family.
Ah, suddenly she's
Ghost and Tommy.
Oh.
Are you ready to compete?
I'm not so sure I'll get to.
What? You've been practicing all
year for this. Why
would you miss it?
My dad scheduled the scrimmage
on the same day.
Well, which means more to you?
That's easy.
Bull-riding.
If you love it so much,
why not tell your father that?
He's not too great
with disappointment, man.
Okay, well, if you're
so worried about everybody else
with your very full plate, do
you have your head in the game?
Well, why wouldn't I?
Oh, look at that. Regression.
Look, no, no disrespect,
but your father's a convict
and somehow not in prison.
I mean, we can just keep
sweeping feelings under the rug.
Thank you for your concern,
but my father is not
gonna serve any time.
My grandfather's a
retired judge, so he helped.
Oh.
So I guess that means you're
finally getting your
old life back, right?
Yeah, I guess.
Jolie finally gets settled
and you uproot her, again.
Maybe we can do
without the emotional warfare.
Is that man not
taking you to Belgium?
Yes. Ultimately, it is our home.
I don't wanna point out
the obvious, but Elle,
where are you
planning on living?
Haven't you sold everything?
We're gonna stay with our
in-laws until we
get back on our feet.
I'm just gonna say
what everyone's thinking.
Mom.
I love you, but we don't
need everyone's input.
Ah, it smells like heaven in
here. I miss good cooking.
Turns out, living like
a bachelor is great
for the waist, but
terrible for the heart.
How are you?
- Good.
Good morning, Mother.
Father.
Mr. Chambers.
Everyone looks
very healthy today.
Must be all that gossip
about me, right?
Looking good, Beauty.
Great work today.
You should have seen us a few
weeks ago. We were
barely connecting.
But now look at us,
on our way to the rodeo.
I'm proud of you. It's not
easy to tame a wild horse.
She wasn't wild, Papa.
She was just misunderstood.
I heard about Stonepointe.
When is the last time
you really trained, though?
I haven't had a chance yet.
Beauty and I are just
finding our footing.
Love, back home, you were riding
five, six days a week.
If you don't practice,
you're gonna lose your momentum.
But we're not back home.
I had to recalibrate.
Or did you forget that part?
You're right.
I have a lot to make up for.
First thing first,
when we get back to Belgium,
we will lease you
a proper horse.
Qualifiers are coming up,
you're gonna need the best.
We'll be back home
before you know it.
Get you back on
track in no time.
Yeah, sure.
Beauty needs some rest.
Okay.
Come on.
Don't worry about him.
He didn't mean anything by it.
There you are.
So what can I do
for Jolie Dumont?
Choose the rodeo.
I can't let my team down.
You mean you don't want
to disappoint your father.
Potato, potahto.
I've seen you ride.
And I've seen you play.
You're the kind of person
who gives 150% no matter what.
But there's no mistaking the
look on your face when you ride.
See, I didn't know that you
were looking at me so hard.
Maybe next time
I'll give you a better view.
Janelle Dumont back in the
saddle. I knew I'd see the day.
You didn't know
nothing.
Nah, I was worried at first
with all the head-to-toe Prada
you were rocking
when you first arrived.
Feels like a lifetime ago.
Isn't it a life
you're returning to?
Your husband's here,
and I'm sure he'll be itching
to get back to Belgium soon.
That life will look
a little different.
Will you be happy?
I hope so.
Jolie and Cédric
were always two peas in a pod.
But since we've been here,
I mean, Jolie and I
have connected
more than we ever have.
The minute we're back,
I might lose her again.
That's not possible.
You've been through
the fire together.
There is one way
you could really
solidify your bond
before you leave.
Take my spot in the relay.
No, you love the rodeo.
But it's a family tradition.
One that Jolie
will never forget.
Welcome to the
Bill Pickett Rodeo.
I've never seen
anything like this before.
Go on.
Next up, we have
the Junior Breakaway Roping.
Where is he?
I don't think so.
I'm gonna grab him.
You got a problem with praying
and practicing now?
Baby, he's harmless.
Just leave him be.
Come on.
With Ronnie
Parrish in second place,
Isabel Gonzalez
remains our reigning champion.
So, how'd our girl do?
You're here.
What? Are you
surprised to see me?
I'm just proud.
Knew I'd find you here.
Boy,
you love the horses.
Looking good, old man.
Ah.
Yeah, you look like
you've been eating.
Pop, I'm good.
Don't stress.
That the truth?
Yeah, yeah. You
know, I ain't alone.
I got people looking out for me.
Okay.
Well, we miss you.
Your mother too.
You know how it goes.
Come on.
Yeah, Mom is Mom.
Mom is Mom?
Son, she didn't
get there by herself.
You helped her draw
that line in the sand.
Look, she's a mother
to the neighborhood,
always looking out for the kids,
even when they're not her own.
That's her strength.
And her weakness.
Listen, she can't take the risk
your new family might bring.
You know, sometimes
I imagine riding
with Lil' Man and Ronnie.
Or us hooping.
And Ma's laugh.
With them
I get to be me.
That don't mean
I don't love y'all.
Come here.
We love you too, son.
Always.
We love you.
What?
Nothing. Just gauging your mood.
Honey, you lost.
Again.
Don't worry, my
head's in the game.
We won't win anything
with you looking like that.
Excuse you.
What's wrong with
what I'm wearing?
Release the bun.
Yeah, that'll do. That'll do.
You ready?
Ready!
And the Chambers
family back in the arena.
Come on, Yvonne!
Faster!
To beat
the Gonzalez Ranch,
they gotta come in
in under 45 seconds.
And homegrown Baltimore cowgirl,
Yvonne Parrish is
off to a good start!
Come on! Ride!
And she's about
to hand off to
her sister, Janelle.
We haven't seen this cowgirl
in over two decades!
That's right, Jolie, go!
Now
handing off to her
daughter, 15-year-old
Jolie Dumont,
riding Black Beauty
in her first rodeo.
Jolie's a Grand Prix equestrian,
but is she a cowgirl?
Remember,
the Gonzalez time to beat
is 45 seconds on the nose.
Go!
It's gonna be close!
Nice handoff!
Will
sixth-generation
cowgirl, Ronnie bring
her family the win?
Ronnie does it!
The Chambers family
takes the win,
coming in at 43.5!
What do you say, rodeo fans?
I see you! I see you!
Yeah, you're loving this.
Can you blame me?
Nah, it all looks good on you.
Out there in the arena,
you were in your element.
You weren't so bad yourself.
You know, I wasn't sure about
bull-riding until
I saw you do it.
It's nice.
It's dangerous.
It suits you.
I wasn't on as long
as I wanted, though.
You'll be a master in no time.
What, like you?
I mean, you've been here a
few months, yet
you fit right in.
Just in time for you
to go back to Belgium.
Well, you played a part in that.
Kinda.
Oh, yeah.
It was hard at first.
Until it wasn't.
Maybe I should thank you now.
There's no thanks necessary.
I got your back.
No matter how far you are.
You better.
Alvin!
Dad.
Dad, this is
Your mother's
waiting in the car.
Thank you.
You know what I'm
saying?
Parrish.
My condolences. I know
how losing bruises your ego.
Oh, you got a short-term memory?
'Cause we're one for one.
Honey,
I gave that to you.
Saw you sulking, and I wanted
to be the one
to lift your spirits.
Next time you're looking
for some pointers,
look my way.
What the hell was that?
Hey. What's on your
mind, mon petit chou?
Why'd you do it?
I don't think I have
an easy answer.
I was very good
of taking care of my family.
Then I wasn't, you know.
But I
I needed to feel
important again.
If we hit rock bottom, I
wanted to be the one to save us.
I really think about it
I risked it all for nothing.
That's stupid.
Honestly, I
thought I'd hate you.
I've been so angry
the last few months.
But we get to be a family again.
That's saying a lot.
But?
You're the reason
why we had to come here.
You're the reason
Mom and I had to
make the best of a
pretty awful situation.
You're the reason why Norah
won't return my calls.
And probably never will.
But it's because of Mom and I
that we have a life.
And a really good one.
It's not fair for you to tell us
to give it up just for you.
I just sort of showed up
and made assumptions, didn't I?
Yeah.
I'm sorry, mon petit chou.
Sorry.
Thanks.
I'm going to make dinner.
Oh, you're cooking now, hmm?
Come here.
What did I miss?
Oh.
Nothing.
Just our daughter
giving me a much needed lecture.
- Yeah.
- Ah.
Welcome to the club.
Listen
I
I didn't realize Baltimore
meant so much to you.
To both of you.
So I'll do anything,
whatever you want.
As long as you'll have me.
Even if that means staying here?
Yes, yes.
I have to go back and forth
to honor my deal,
but a million times yes.
As long as for
you, staying doesn't
mean settling
unfinished business.
You and Rashaad,
you loved each other once.
You don't have to
worry about that.
- No?
- Mm-mm.
Good.
I so missed you.
We
really did it, girl.
Just you and me. Hmm?
Nothing can stop us now.
