Beyond Black Beauty on
Welcome to Belgium.
My best friend, former.
You're the reason Hilde
is getting a divorce.
You were all miserable well
before anything ever happened.
Looks like you still are.
She's here. Hey.
Um, she seems a bit skittish.
We doing some shopping?
Yeah, I'm here for
an engagement ring.
For Ester.
You have no idea
what we're capable of.
Can't wait to see.
Maybe you'll surprise me.
Everything is fine.
This is not real, Jolie.
You've got this.
Just breathe.
Breathe.
Breathe!
Hey, you
know what to do.
You have to come, we've been
planning this party
since she was born.
The waitlist for
Ruisbroek is two
years long, how did you manage?
You only turn 16
once, and Dede and
I would do anything
for our petite fille.
I find adult juice
solves everything.
I know this isn't the vacation
you envisioned.
I mean, if it's not drama
with Beauty, it's my in-laws.
I'm sorry it's never-ending.
But I finally get to see
my niece in her element.
- Mm.
- I'm not complaining.
Well, I promised fun, so
whatever you wanna do, we'll do.
You wanna check
with your girl first?
I don't want the best friend
to feel left out.
A'ight petty. I want to maintain
peace. Like the adult that I am.
While you figure out
what's on the Parrish agenda,
I'm gonna go check on the kid.
Make sure she's ready.
- Hey. Does he know you're here?
- Hey.
Not yet, no.
You know Eckerd doesn't want
you here, yet you're
poking the bear?
I've already missed too much.
Hey. It's just me
girl, what's wrong?
Mon amour?
Jolie? Jolie.
Talk to us.
You're okay, you're okay,
you're okay. Just
keep breathing.
That's good, just breathe, girl.
Just breathe, baby girl.
Up next,
we have two-time
Olympian, Gretchen
Müller on Silver Lake.
It's okay,
it's okay, it's okay.
You competing against yourself,
Jolie. Don't worry
about her, okay?
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Mom, I I don't
think I'm ready.
Are you kidding?
Baby, you were born ready.
After all you've accomplished
in your almost 16 years.
We're already so proud of you.
You got this.
Okay.
You okay, Jolie?
We are not surprised
this Olympic team has completed
in a record 68.71.
From the United States,
Jolie Dubois on Black Beauty.
This Belgian native won
her first Grand Prix last year.
Not the first time I've
been anxious,
probably not the last.
That's the price for trying
to make your dreams a reality.
It's never been easy,
and I've had to sacrifice a lot.
Even be my own role model.
But it was worth it.
I'm finally here,
and with Beauty by my side.
Her 10-year-old mare
is less experienced.
When you're
competing at this level,
one might ask, why
this partnership?
This course is
next level. There's
very little time
between each sector.
But Jolie's pacing herself
for that double combo.
The
athleticism we are seeing
right now. This is a
brave, model jumper.
70.25. They did not beat the
Olympian. But in second place,
Jolie and Beauty are still in
the running for the qualifiers.
You did great.
Thank you, Beauty.
Sorry you lost,
but the basics matter, Dubois.
That's how you make
the American team.
Beauty and I are
still in the running,
so don't worry about us, Müller.
See you in Italy.
Ronnie, I'm not sweating it,
so why are you?
I just know how hard you guys
worked to get here.
- You're really not disappointed?
- No.
We have a long road ahead of us,
and we're ready for it.
She okay?
She's
probably just tired.
I'll keep an eye on her though.
It's your birthday.
Finally, we gonna
get lit at this castle party.
It's a château.
Château Ruisbroek.
My bad, Lady Mary.
It's Alvin How do I look?
Cute, but not trying too hard?
Unavailable, yet coy?
Uh, it's giving desperation.
With a pinch of
Le Thirsty.
- Rude.
- Relax, Belgium, he loves you.
Hey.
- Hey.
It's, uh, nice to see your face.
I saw you on IG,
you and Beauty killed it, man.
I knew you'd show 'em
how it's done. Congrats.
- And happy born day.
- Thank you.
I'll be home next week.
Any chance we can hang out?
Uh
As friends.
Yeah, that's not a good idea.
Look, this isn't
easy for me either.
But it doesn't change anything.
I'm not allowed to come
to the ranch no more.
It ain't right,
but I gotta do what I gotta do.
I'm sorry. What can I do?
I think you've done enough.
Uh, what?
You stuck your nose where it
didn't belong, and
now my whole
I love you, but you that doesn't
mean you get to
treat me like crap
because you're in pain.
You're in this position because
your father put you there.
Maybe don't speak on things
you know nothing about.
Stick with that silver spoon
you love so much.
Let's just go back
to not speaking.
- Works for me. Good.
- Good.
Good.
Yeah, I'm playing for keeps. ♪
Yeah, I'm playing for keeps. ♪
Yeah, I'm playing for keeps. ♪
Alright, Megan Markle, shake off
the blues Ain't nobody
got time for that.
Check, now fix your ta-tas.
- Check. Booty poppin'.
- Check.
Now let's have some fun.
So, um, we'll make do?
It's one way to celebrate 16.
We are so proud of you.
A year is a long
time to be without you.
- We've missed you.
- I've missed you.
Thank you for this. I forgot how
much I missed Belgium too.
Oh, I'm happy to hear that.
Maybe you'll
stay a little longer?
At least the summer?
Give your grandparents
some more time.
You really feel
like flying back and
forth like that?
Traveling is exhausting.
And we can give
you what you need
here. Quality time
and convenience.
That does sound nice, but I
should talk to my parents first.
Where is Papa?
Jolie, we don't want to spoil
the moment with
unnecessary drama, do we?
Tonight is about you.
Yeah.
I'm calling it a night.
- Not happening.
- No.
Happy Birthday Jolie!
How did you pull this off?
Well, every party
needs an after-party.
And we've got all night to
get into the right
kind of trouble.
You are the birthday girl, yeah?
- Yup.
- Ok.
That's cool, I like a challenge.
You didn't get the memo? That's
what we call toxic masculinity.
Noted.
And now you are just
enjoying the party so?
Yeah, music could
be better though.
I'm Sebastian, but all my
friends call me Bash.
Ok, well let's see
what you got Sebastian.
Hi.
Hey.
Listen to me. You're a good man.
And an even better father.
Don't let him convince
you otherwise.
Hey, our kid needs you.
The best version of you.
Eh, easier said than done.
But I hear you.
What about you?
I know about the offer my
parents made. Summer in Belgium.
Yeah, not happening.
She's not staying.
They love her. Adore her.
She excelled beyond
their expectations.
Yeah, and that's the problem.
She's a child.
She's going to make mistakes.
And what happens when
she falters, huh? What then?
Your parents
love is conditional.
Yeah, maybe.
But for now
What's best for Jolie?
You're ok girl.
She doesn't
seem like herself.
Maybe it's a cold, or allergies?
Vet came by this
morning, said it
was exhaustion. I'm
monitoring it though.
Good thing your grandparents
have insisted you two stay.
You won't have to schlep
her back and forth.
No, you were right.
I have eyes,
I can't just pretend they're not
making life miserable for Papa.
Your grandparents
are complicated.
- But they love you.
- You're defending them now?
I just don't want
you in the middle
of a fight that
doesn't belong to you.
It's becoming a habit of yours.
I'm allowed to
stick up for family.
Plus, I need to go home.
I can't just abandon my lessons.
The kids depend on me.
And since the clinic,
the ranch has been
busier than ever,
there's too much to do.
Jo, it's just for
the summer, and I
know how much you miss it here.
Wow. You're trying
to get rid of me?
Never.
You're my greatest
accomplishment.
But you're sixteen now
and a little freedom won't hurt.
Just promise to come home.
I promise.
I know it's been a little while
since we've had some romance.
Life just kinda got in the way.
Or I just fell short.
But I love you, Ester Chambers.
I can't imagine
my life without you.
You're the kindest man I know.
You like 'em?
They felt like you.
Yeah Me
Thank you.
But I can't accept them.
Why?
Because I don't
think we fit anymore.
You're breaking up with me?
Look, I know you
were ring shopping.
I was with Janelle when you
were at the jewelers.
But something obviously made
you change your mind.
I I didn't know
if you'd say "yes."
Rashaad, on some level
I know, you know,
that I'm not your person.
And If we haven't figured
it out after four years,
We never will.
Time is short
So, find the thing that really
makes you happy.
I smell feelings.
Come here, baby girl.
This view doesn't
get old, does it?
Not at all.
Life is made of the hard
stuff, doesn't matter
what age you are.
But here's what I've learned.
Ever had another
man like you me up ♪
Told me that I wasn't good,
and my good wasn't good enough ♪
Take me on a ride,
take me on a ride ♪
Surprisingly, you can
do most hard things.
Hate my head, hate my smile,
love my glory ♪
Even when it feels unbearable.
Like life is telling you
it has other plans for you.
It demands you take risks
you're not ready for.
Are you my master?
Feels like a walking disaster ♪
Leap, even though you're afraid.
And sometimes, there's
light at the end of the tunnel.
A small moment to tell you,
you're on the right path.
Leave me depleted ,
and so defeated, yeah! ♪
Little girl, gets
no attention ♪
looks to a man for
love and affection ♪
Baby runaway, baby run away ♪
that's what I say,
run away from pain ♪
Your mother left word, she
won't be joining you tonight.
Oh, typical mom.
feels like a
walking disaster ♪
Life though,
makes promises
it has no intention of keeping.
It prefers to keep you on
your toes that way.
Begging you to grow.
Even though growth
is uncomfortable.
Pushing you to your limits
to see what you're made of.
But in the end you're born anew.
Or, you crash and burn.
Why do you play
me for a fool? ♪
Beauty?
What's wrong, Beauty?
Beauty!
I'm worried too,
I'm calling the vet.
Mom, help. What do I do?
Beauty?
And life taunts you, asking
have you learned anything yet?
Are you my master? ♪
