Ride (2016) s01e15 Episode Script

1 Oh, can I talk to you? One sec.
Gather round, gang.
The latest standings for the All Schools League are in.
As you know, your scores to this point will determine your rankings, which will decide where you compete in the League Gala race.
AKA The Big One.
Exactly.
Now no surprise, Will, Nav and Elaine are all in the top five in their division.
(CLAPPING) Congrats, guys.
The individual glory is one thing, but how is Covington doing as a school? Joshua is in eighth, and our princess is in twentieth.
This is a disaster! Hey, dad - As a team, we are in fourth, which is up from the beginning of the term.
This is a win.
You two still have time to turn this around.
Nothing's impossible.
Not for this team.
You've got to remember that.
Even with Kit's zero, we still got a real shot.
Could we please not call it Kit's Big Fat Zero? It's technically a did not participate.
Nav, are you alright? You should be happy about this.
Yeah, thank you, sir.
Please, could you excuse me? I'm afraid something came up.
A family matter.
I brought you a coffee.
I didn't even see you there.
Very funny.
I want to talk to you about something.
I want to compete in the Gala.
You do? Yes.
And I know I have to do an official run because I don't actually have a rank, and I know that the deadline is today.
Well, seems as if you've already thought this through.
So? We've got a judge down here doing some make ups.
I'll request permission to have you included.
Oh, my gosh! Okay! Things just got real.
I'm doing this.
I'm really doing this.
Today.
NAV: Rimo! What are you doing here? Oh, you know this guy? He's amazing.
To what do I owe this surprise visit? And may I see your visitor's pass? There you go.
My half term break is a couple of weeks earlier than yours, and I toyed with the idea of a quick jaunt to Rome or Buenos Aires, but then I thought, why not visit my favourite cousin? Well, mate, well done for ruining a friendly game.
There are no friendly games, William.
Not with him.
I didn't come this direction For fear of some misconnection It was in me all along I was carried by the song You wouldn't believe where my heart goes It's who I want to be So ride, ride with me So the plan is in motion.
All I have to do is ride the trial, which should be super, mad, crazy easy.
The trial.
Because if I earn the right to compete in the League Gala, then Lady C might consider bringing TK back.
At least that's my hope.
What's that? Oh, nothing.
Sorry.
You were saying? Can I borrow Prince? And you, too.
I need you guys to get me through the trial, and Prince is the only other horse I can even think about getting on.
Are you mad? Not Prince.
And definitely not today.
Whoa.
Do you mind helping me pick my head up off the floor? I didn't expect it to be snapped right off.
Look, take my phone, take my saddle, take my private jet anywhere you want.
Anything but Prince.
I can't part with him.
Not today.
Are you okay? You're all jumpy.
It's my cousin, Santiago.
He showed up this morning, dropping little clues for me to find.
Last time we met, it ended badly.
How badly? He beat me at cricket.
Oh, so super serious.
You don't understand.
My father and his father have competed for their entire lives, and now every move, every grade, every match between us is scrutinized.
That sounds intense.
JOSH: That hurt my heart, man.
I don't really like being the weakest link.
My jumpers scores were so killer last time, but it's just my early scores weren't as great.
I know! I'm starting to wonder if they only let me win at home because I'm the princess.
No! I've seen you jump.
You're like an eagle.
Thank you.
You are a space shuttle.
But how do we get to the next level? I think maybe Elaine's not totally nuts.
In some departments.
I've seen her triple-indexed, double colour-coded homework.
Like cuckoo! But dude, she totally runs circles around us.
Maybe there's something that she knows that we don't.
Elaine's personal training schedule.
Yup.
Snuck it out, copied, laminated, and returned it.
Wiltshire none the wiser.
If only you could use your powers for good.
I did.
This is the one.
This is what keeps her in first place.
You know, but sure, she's all about the team, and everything but this is her own gold medal plan.
What are we waiting for? Whoa! Yoga? We have to do yoga? Have you ever done yoga? We have to drink raw eggs? Well, you know, if we want to win.
We have to be Elaine.
Hello.
I'm looking for a girl who's looking for a horse.
Really? Yours? But he's a daredevil.
No, that's me.
Wayne's a big baby.
He'll do whatever you want.
I'm still scared.
I know.
(LAUGHS) But I'll be standing right here, I'll be holding him.
It'll be like a pony ride.
Right? Go on.
Grab the reigns, there.
One, two, three.
And up, and feet in the stirrups.
Great.
And keep breathing.
(LAUGHS) Do you want to take a walk around the course? Uh, what if Wayne doesn't like me? I can already tell he does.
Can't you see how relaxed he is? So he's not going to suddenly bolt and go tearing for the trees? Ah, no, he knows this course.
Plus, with the trotting poles, it will feel like a warm up for him.
And he's had loads of riders.
He's pretty cool like that.
Can he memorize the course for me? (LAUGHS) You know, my brother used to have a really good way of memorizing courses.
He'd assign a memory to each jump.
Like how? Well, like so your first jump is number eight, and when I was eight I had to get stitches.
Not from falling off a horse or anything.
I just, my brother caught me on the head with a rake.
That explains a lot.
No, I'm kidding! I'm kidding! Keep going.
Okay, so when I was six, I had chicken pox, and when I was twelve I built a fort in a tree.
So your jump order is going to be eight, six, twelve, so that's stitches, chicken pox, tree fort.
Like remembering a funny story.
(LAUGHS) Yeah, exactly.
So do you want to try it out? No.
Great.
Let's go for it.
(LAUGHS) Yeah! Great! Well done! Thanks! Uh, I was talking to Wayne.
(LAUGHS) A-doo, Moo-ka, Save-os-ana, should feel relaxing.
It's Adhu Mukha Savasana.
Why am I reading these instructions? You should know it.
I only know how to say it.
I don't know how to do it.
Just, I don't know.
Just focus on something.
You know? Thanks, guru.
Sorry.
May I? Who are you? I am Santiago Andrada.
No more explanation required.
Send the energy up, and out, aiming it toward the heavens.
Oh, oh, that changes everything.
I'm the guru, alright.
I got this, alright? Okay.
I hope you two have a plan to up your rank of the field.
We're not going to tank because you can't jump and you're a scatterbrain.
Do I need to intervene? Absolutely not, okay.
We so got this.
(LAUGHS) Namaste.
Elaine is terrifying.
I swear she's like eighty percent on the way to becoming a full Lady Covington.
I know.
I'd so rather train with you, though.
Yeah.
Well, you know, you get up, right, to the heavens.
To the heavens.
To, yeah.
So cousin, you still have that young buck, Prince? Prince is proving to be an excellent horse.
Well, wait till you see my new steed.
You'll see him in the League Gala.
He's called King.
ELAINE: Nicely now, Thunder.
(HORSE TROTTING) Who is that? She's not your type.
Bold, focused, clearly a winner.
I think she's exactly my type.
She's not interested in boys.
She's interested in winning.
Perhaps she just hasn't met the right cousin yet, huh? Your hair is like silk, and the way that it glistens in the sun.
Forgive me, forgive me.
But you took my breath away.
Santiago Andrada.
Um, thank you.
Elaine, have I told you how much I liked your design for the League Gala? It is the best I have ever seen.
Fancy a hack later? I hear that you're quite the talent.
She has no time for a casual wander on the trail.
She's the best rider at this school, so she is always practicing.
And congratulations, Elaine.
Obviously Kit is only able to do her trial today because of your work.
Should we go to watch together? Cousin, please.
I haven't the pleasure of seeing Elaine every day.
May I, Elaine, take you to watch the trial? Well, far be it from me to come between family members.
NYA: You've been at it all day.
You'll do aces.
I'm just really nervous.
Especially after my first epic fail.
You just have to finish the course, and it doesn't have to look pretty.
As long as you finish your jumps, you'll get a rank.
(KNOCK ON DOOR) Um, I need your help.
I need something to wear for Kit's time trial.
Maybe just a little accessory.
You don't have to get all dressed up for me.
Um, actually I have a date.
With who?! Well, thanks for being completely, utterly gobsmacked by the mere possibility.
Sorry.
You can borrow anything you like.
So, who is it? Well, there's actually two boys who might be interested.
(GIGGLING) Santiago has had a botanical garden in Bangkok named after me.
No way! Well played, cousin.
I've seen your stats.
I'm very impressed.
It's all about the training program.
I've tailored my own to suit.
Oh, really.
I'd love to hear all about it.
I mean, I know you took home first in your school's House Cup.
Can anyone even keep up with you? Not really.
Although we do have some strong riders.
Paul Rutherford - he tries to keep up, but he has some problems with release time, you know? Oh, tell me all about it.
It sounds fascinating.
Truly.
Alright.
Look, here - No, no, no, no! No ugly brooch.
Not today.
I don't think it had it's intended effect last time.
No, I got you this instead.
For good luck, and new beginnings.
Dad, you're going to make me cry.
And if I cry, I can't see the jumps.
And even I know that's kind of an important part.
Now, you feel safe up here? Wayne's a good horse, but you've got to feel safe.
I hear he's a big baby.
I feel good, dad.
Alright, come on.
Just remember what your mom would say - Believe you can and you're half way there.
It's going to be great.
You know it.
Eh? ANNOUNCER: Next up, Kit Bridges, riding at the novice level.
(HORSE WHINNIES IN DISTANCE) (GASPS) KIT: Sorry, Wayne! RUDY: Kit, what's going on? RUDY: Kit! Kit! Kit! Kit! Clock didn't start, so there's no time fault, right? WILL: What's wrong? Will you please just move her down in my order.
Let her go near the end? I mean, as long as she rides before you go, right? Thank you.
WILL: Where are you going? Give it a rest.
We're not training right now.
We need to go and see if Kit's okay.
I don't - Wait, no.
Will went after her.
Maybe you should just, I don't know, give them a little minute, okay? (HORSE WHINNIES) (HORSE WHINNIES) I knew you could do it.
I knew you could find me, boy.
(HORSE SNORTS) KIT: I missed you.
And you ran all the way here.
Welcome home.
(HORSE WHINNIES) To be honest, I'm relieved.
I thought you'd gone mad.
Or bailed or something.
Oh no! That's what everyone must think.
But did you see that? Did you see him make it over that jump? They cannot keep us apart, bud.
We're a team.
(HORSE WHINNIES) (LAUGHS) (HORSE SNORTS) So tell me about yourself.
Well, I know it's old fashioned, but I like to have hard copies of all my schedules, so I laminate them, and keep them on me at all times.
Just makes things feel more real that way.
You really are adorable, you know? Oh, I'm not joking.
Do you take training as a joke? Hardly, no.
How else do you think I beat my cousin? I've designed my own app.
This is my training schedule.
You see, King, he's such an exceptional horse, I only need to do a quick warm up with him before show time.
Oh, that's such a beautiful app.
I mean, I might even consider giving up my laminates for something like that.
WILL: You're sure you want to risk your rank in the ring? Wayne's all tacked up and ready to go.
No, it's just a feeling.
It's fate.
Did you see him make that jump toward me.
He can do it.
We can do this.
Whoa! How in the world? I know.
I just saw him off in the distance, and I had to go after him.
Come on, let's go, let's go.
We've got eight minutes.
All hands on deck.
Will, you get the bridle.
I knew we had to go find him.
Now he's found his way back to you.
I think we showed him what he had to do to find us.
It wouldn't have happened without you.
Okay, this is it, boy.
We cannot mess this up.
It is our last chance.
I mean, no pressure, but we have to nail this.
You will.
I second that.
Thanks, guys.
I really don't know what I would do without you.
Alright, you look great.
And you will do great.
You heard me say eight minutes two minutes ago, right? Let's go! How does that girl manage to get every single thing she wants? It's really quite something.
This is it, boy.
Let's do this.
WILL: Yes, Kit! (CHEERING) WILL: Come on, Kit! You can do it! I will sail out but I'm leaning I don't need to get even Anymore (CHEERING & CLAPPING) So long, shoot the lights and I'm leaving Say it again, but with feeling Oh, oh, oh, but I know I can't believe where my heart goes What all of my head knows It's who I want to be So ride, ride with me You made it.
You're in the bracket.
Oh! Ooh! I'm so proud of you! So, so proud! (LAUGHS) That was so great! Don't let go.
I think I might have overdone it with the lunges.
(LAUGHS) I'm so proud of you! Well done! I knew you could do it! (GIGGLES) KIT: It's unbelievable! I don't know how he found me, or how he even got here, but he did.
That has to mean something, right? I could have done the trial with Wayne, and it would have been fine, but it was with TK and it was perfect.
Well, actually, I'm rather proud of you.
Your progress, I mean.
I thought you'd be mad.
Well, I'm not about to throw a parade for that horse you love.
Please, please find it in your heart to let him stay.
It appears that I don't have a choice.
He escaped from Armstrong Farms, and apparently they were relieved.
TK was his usual charming self, and they don't want him back, so for now - Thank you! Thank you, Lady Covington! You won't regret this! (CELL PHONE DIALING) Mr.
Armstrong.
I just wanted to say thank you, and tell you that your cheque will be at the office this afternoon.
Good day.
NAV: Congratulations.
Our plan was perfectly executed.
Santiago didn't suspect a thing.
What's this? That is from his app.
He forwarded the whole thing to me.
Easier than expected, actually.
You are a diabolical genius, Wiltshire.
You flatter me, Navarro.
But I didn't come up with this plan alone.
Anything to deal him the massive loss he deserves.
ELAINE: Oh, he is so full of himself.
I gained a shocking amount of intel on his entire team, and on Santiago's own weaknesses.
They're one step ahead of us at the moment, but this, this is for you.
You astonish me.
Whatever it takes to win the League Gala, I'm in.
For a second there, I thought you were trying to sweep me off my feet.
Oh, no! I mean, you are, of course, lovely.
Please.
Look, I know he's a big distraction for you at the moment, so I've compiled some pages on focusing.
Read it by game day.
Oh, my God! This is the greatest day ever! Can you believe it? TK is back, I aced my trials, and - are you ready for it? I don't know, am I? Lady C said TK can stay! That's great.
How 'bout that.
Um, hello! This is huge! Why aren't you more excited? I am.
That's great.
And I couldn't be more proud of how you handled yourself today.
Oh, I know what's coming.
The but.
What's wrong? Why are you acting so weird? I just got off the phone with Sarah Peyton.
We've been talking the last few days.
She's the one I had to call from the laptop.
Sarah Peyton from Raindrop Farms? And she's calling to see how we're adjusting to our new, fab life over here on the other side of the pond.
And you said it's going great, and we're so glad we made the move.
Dad? She offered me a job.
Not a job.
The job.
With an option to buy the whole ranch after three years.
This is what we always dreamed of.
You're mother and I were talking about this since before you were born.
You love Raindrop Farms.
This could be - A disaster! What are you even thinking? We already made the move across the ocean! They always said I'd be the first call they'd make when the time came to sell, and that time is now.
Now? You want us to leave Covington?
