Heartland (CA) s05e10 Episode Script

Previously on "Heartland": What're you doing here? I miss the old place, so I thought I'd come back for a while.
Is Ashley coming back then? No.
We're on a break.
- What?! - What happened? Problem with the horses.
They didn't arrive.
- Well, is Cisco okay? - I don't know! How are we gonna get these horses outta here? We could ride them out.
- Shane? - What are you doing here? - He's got a gun! - Get down! Amy, this one's in a real bad way.
He's barely breathing.
This one's got some kind of infection all over his neck.
One is standing, but he's in really rough shape, and we've gotta get him to your clinic, Scott.
Caleb! There wasn't anything else we could do, Amy.
We gotta take him to your clinic, Scott.
What? You're going? Already? Yes, I'm going already.
They're delivering the backhoe this morning.
You knew that, honey.
Did anyone call for me on the house line, by the way? Any messages at all? Somebody unplugged my phone charger.
I had to plug in the baby monitor, and no, there were no calls.
Okay.
Mm! Jack, I'm sorry.
Lou'll make some more.
Can you make some more coffee, honey, please? Yes.
Bye.
I gotta go.
Bye bye, pumpkin.
Bye! Now, where are my keys? I left them right here, now I can't find them.
Sorry.
We were playing.
Thank you, sweetie.
Agh.
Must have left pretty early.
Well, I couldn't sleep.
Grandpa, can I borrow your truck? Well, that means I'm gonna have to ride into town with your dad.
Fine! Thank They're wet.
Hey Jack! Jack, guess what? Caleb promised to give me some roping tips with my steer.
Yeah, well, don't let him teach you any bad habits.
Hey, you should stay and watch me rope.
I'd love to, Shane, but I gotta help Ty.
He's building onto his shed.
Thank you.
Bye, honey.
At least something's getting built around here.
How's your project coming, Lou? Fine.
You ready to go or not? Yeah.
I'm waiting for you.
Where's my list? I know I put my list right here.
Now, where is it? Oh, here it is.
- There you go.
- What a mad house! This day can only get better.
What's wrong with him? What's the matter with him? - Good morning.
- Good morning.
All right.
Put me to work! Well, are you here to work or are you just gonna sit there? Hey I just had an awful sleep.
I keep having that nightmare.
I can't get the image of those horses out of my mind.
Hey, has Scott said anything about that horse that survived? Ty? Come on, he's said something, hasn't he? The owner called Scott just yesterday.
And? And you're not gonna like this.
Can you tell me? He's decided that the animal's beyond help.
Okay.
So what does that mean? That means that they're putting him down this afternoon.
No.
He - I'm just gonna call-- - Amy, wait.
Okay? Scott agrees with the owner, Amy, and you know he wouldn't put a horse down if it wasn't absolutely necessary.
Scott, hi.
It's Amy.
Hi.
Ty was just telling me about that horse.
Yeah.
I was just wondering if he was being euthanized because of health issues? No, it's not a health issue.
What is it then? The horse is totally unmanageable.
He may not be in physical pain, but mentally he's a mess.
Can you just bring him to Heartland? I just would like to take a look at him.
Listen to me, he's in terrible shape.
Okay.
And if that's the case, I will listen to you.
I promise.
But I can't just let him be put down without knowing the situation.
I'll bring him over.
Okay.
Thank you.
I'm meeting Scott at Heartland.
Do you wanna come? Don't give me that look.
I just wanna see him.
Look, I'm not happy about this.
This horse is not for you.
I hear you.
What's his name? Alcatraz Run.
Hey boy Amy! And at the break of day you sank into your dream, you dreamer.
Oh, oh, oh You dreamer you dreamer.
I wanna work with him.
Why? He's crazy and dangerous.
He attacked his owner.
He just tried to attack us.
Look, Amy, nobody wants to put him down, but He's right, Amy.
I know you wanna work with him - I know - but this is one horse you don't wanna mess with, okay? He needs to be given a chance.
Come on, Scott, let me try.
He needs help.
And how do you propose you're gonna help him? Well, first, we gotta get him out of the trailer and into the paddock.
He's a race horse.
He's calmer in a stall.
Fine.
And he can't be put with any other horses.
No problem.
That'll make it easier for me to bond with him.
Scott, I couldn't save that other horse and I feel like I owe it to this guy.
We might not even be able to get that animal out of the trailer.
You got him in there, didn't you? It's okay, it's okay.
Look, I don't wanna be the bad guy, but I can't take responsibility for what happens here.
This is your choice, not mine, and I'm gonna make sure Jack knows it.
Scott, no.
Please? This is crazy, Amy.
Why are you so determined with this horse? Because Because of the nightmares? No.
Spartan.
This horse is acting exactly like Spartan did after the accident, and he was this close to being put down as well.
Okay.
And look at what an incredible horse Spartan is now.
Think about what he would've missed.
If Spartan can come back from that, so can Alcatraz.
I just don't want you to get hurt.
I can handle this.
You should go.
No, no.
I'll stay here with you.
No, it's okay.
I don't need you here.
Okay.
Be careful then, okay? I will.
I'm just gonna let him used to me.
- It's okay.
- Okay.
Well, all in all, I think I've done a pretty damn good job.
You do? I'm pretty happy with the way things have worked out.
The whole Shane thing? I mean, the kid's really settled in.
He seems a lot happier now than he was before.
I got Miranda onside, Amy and Lou are onside.
Even Janice You know, she's okay with it.
So your whole world is hunky-dory.
I'm happy for you.
Yep.
Now we just gotta get Peter and Lou to get their act together.
How is that building project of theirs coming anyway? They even broken ground? Don't ask.
Well, the guy's got no excuse.
I'm telling ya, he's got no job.
I mean, he's got nothing but time on his hands.
Well, don't bring that up with Lou.
Okay.
Come on, I'll buy you a coffee.
Agh! Jack, come on.
Whoa! Come on.
This thing's got all the bells and whistles, I'm telling you.
So you really wanna do this yourself? I mean, isn't digging a foundation a huge job for one person? Honey, do I have to remind you we tried to hire someone we could afford and we couldn't do it.
I know, I know.
And, you know, honey, if I can do this myself for the cost of the rental, we are gonna save ourselves a pile of money.
And not everybody can land a job on their first interview, so this is the way to go.
Look, honey, I'm only bringing it up because I talked to Lisa this morning and suddenly there are a ton of bookings coming up at the cabins.
- Bookings? - Yeah.
Honey, why would she be taking bookings? She knew that we were starting.
Well, we told her we've been starting for weeks, so I guess she just sorta gave up on us.
Anyway, there are bookings, and I promised her that all of this wouldn't interfere with them.
That's fine.
Good.
That's great.
No pressure then, right? I'm making you something extra special.
You're gonna love it.
Good boy.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
It's okay.
Good boy.
Newcomer.
What, you don't recognize him? It's the horse from the coulee.
You know, the one you didn't shoot.
That's mean.
But I had no choice, it had to be done.
I know.
I know, I just I still have dreams about it.
About me? More like nightmares, Caleb.
Whoa! He's dangerous! I rode a bronc like him last year.
All he wanted to do was kill me.
He had that same look in his eye.
So I need some advice.
Okay.
It's Ashley's birthday tomorrow and Is it weird if I get her flowers? I know we're separated technically, but I think it would be really sweet.
Well, I'm a sweet guy.
How is it going with you two anyway? Good.
A lot better.
I mean, we've been talking a ton.
Well, Ashley talks, I listen.
Right.
So you wanna say something? What was that-- Lisa kissing some guy in the middle of town? You're not upset by that? No, I'm not upset.
- You're not upset.
- No.
The hell you're not.
Hey! Shane? Get out of the pen before that steer makes you eat dirt.
Chill.
He's just standing there.
I was waiting for Caleb.
Where's Caleb? Can I please have one dozen pink carnations? Actually, you know what? Make that two dozen.
Yeah They're our wedding flower.
And, uh, when will they arrive? Yeah, that's That's great actually.
Just hold on.
Did you order the flowers? It's about time.
Hey, Caleb, you left this kid in the pen by himself.
Caleb! What're you thinking? You ate all your food.
That's a good boy.
Okay.
I'm just gonna grab your bucket, all right? Be a good boy.
I mean, what does Peter know about digging a foundation? Lou, you've got to let Peter do what he can to build his own home.
It's an elemental need.
An elemental need? Goes back to the cave man.
You know, hunt, gather, provide shelter.
So how are those interviews going for him? So is that another elemental need? To earn a living? Well, it doesn't hurt.
I have a job.
I know.
That's yet another need for a man; To pull his own weight.
Peter is pulling his own weight.
Boy, you and Dad Hello.
Lisa.
Well, yeah.
I answered the phone, so I guess I'm around.
Well, if you're coming this way, drop in then.
All right.
That was a little cold.
What's going on between you two? Nothing.
Oh, come on.
- Hey - Hey.
I'm sorry to barge in.
I know this is your place now.
No, man, I'm not gonna change the locks on you.
What're you looking for? My CPRA card - I forgot to renew it.
Grand Prairie rodeo's coming up.
Ah, here we are I'm gonna try bull riding.
Chad says I'm ready.
Really? Yeah.
I'll see ya.
Oh, hey, hey Are you all right? Ashley filed for divorce.
Yoo-hooo! Hi.
Have you eaten? Nope.
Good! I bought some sandwiches at that great new bakery in town.
Wanna eat on the porch? It's such a nice day.
Yeah.
I saw you in town.
Oh? When? Why didn't you say hi? Oh, I didn't wanna interrupt.
You were busy.
No, let's eat here.
I think it's gonna rain.
All right.
I can't believe this.
I was ordering flowers for her.
What is Ashley thinking? She's thinking we're over.
That much is pretty damn clear.
And you see this? I'm supposed to sign it and send it back to her so she knows I got it.
Well, hell no! I am not signing a damn thing! I'm not sending anything back! What are you doing, Caleb? I'm going to Grand Prairie rodeo.
I just gotta get the hell outta here, man.
Just gotta get outta here.
Lou tell that we're up to our eyeballs in dude ranch bookings? We had a nice little review in a camping magazine and all of a sudden all these emails started pouring in.
It's very exciting.
Mm-hm.
Okay.
What's eating you? Nothing.
Is it the sandwich? Too much mayo for you? The sandwich was fine.
Well, I know when you're in a mood.
So what's the deal? No deal.
Just saw you and some guy parked outside Maggie's looking pretty friendly.
What? Oh! That was Dan.
Dan Hartfield? Your ex? Yes.
We are, uh- we have a partnership.
What kind of partnership? I've made a valuable contact with this highly regarded breeder in Europe and It looks like he's going to grant me exclusive import rights on this very rare Belgian warm blood.
So? So, I needed somebody with deep pockets and Dan was interested.
Oh, surely Dan Hartfield isn't the only one in your social circle with deep pockets? My social circle? I wasn't aware I had a social circle.
Of course you do.
All those hoity-toity horse people at the polo club and the breeder's cup and Spruce Meadows that you hang out with when you're not slumming here with me.
Excuse me? Didn't you and Dan try being business partners once before? That didn't turn out so well.
At least, that's how you made it sound.
Oh! Hey, Lisa! Broke ground at the dude ranch today.
Should be done in another month or so Foundation, anyway.
A month? Well, this has been fun.
So I hear you've taken on a new horse.
What do you think you're doing, Amy? Scott Oh, don't go blaming him.
Sorry, but Jack needed to have back story on this guy.
I'm tired of everyone just assuming that he's a lost cause.
No assuming going on here.
I just want to try and work with him.
Well, do you have a game plan? Yeah, I do.
This horse hates people, and for good reason.
He's been kidnapped, he's been abused, he was jabbed with needles, and run to death.
So I've got him on some herbs, just to calm him down.
And then I'm gonna take him out in the round pen, and I'm gonna work with him.
'Cause he's gotta trust me before he can trust anyone else.
Does that sound like a plan? Well, good luck with that.
I just wanted to make sure everybody was on the same page here.
See you guys later.
Why is everybody so negative? Very rarely do I question what you do, but we've got just about enough going on in our crazy household without you bringing a horse like that into the mix.
- I know.
Grandpa, listen-- - No.
You listen.
I'm trying to be calm, I'm trying to be civil, but I don't need one more thing on my plate.
It's not on your plate, it's on mine.
If it's on yours, it's on mine.
I want that horse gone.
What? I'm telling you right now, Amy, I can't cope with one more potential problem.
Close! Close.
You've come a long way.
Yeah.
I told you, I've been practicing.
Well, it shows.
You know, eventually, you'll be ready for the real thing.
And when you are, I'll let you practice on that, but you gotta be in here with somebody at all times, you hear me? Okay! Okay! I get it.
Hey! Cut me some slack.
I just want to send you home in one piece.
Do I have to go home? What do you mean, "do I have to go home"? Well, I was thinking, um Maybe I could hang out here, you know, go to school in Hudson.
I don't think that's gonna happen.
Okay, c'mon.
C'mon.
Throw the rope.
Yes! That's it! I'll turn you into a pro-- Hey you! Hi! Mom, what're you doing here? Did you see that? I roped it! Yeah.
Yeah.
You wanna wait for me in the house? Yeah, yeah.
Just wait in the house.
I wanna talk to you.
He's got a gun! Get down! See, I don't have my glasses, so I can't see that.
Oh, come on, even without your glasses you can see that there is a man pointing a gun at my son.
There's illegal horse racing, criminals, and Shane was right in the middle of it.
Where- were you even there? No.
No, and I have a reason.
Oh really? I'd like to hear it.
Well, I have a racehorse that was hijacked on its way to its maiden race, and there was this whole police investigation.
And you probably don't know this, but if you don't get involved in the investigations- I don't care about your racehorse, Tim.
How dare you put my son in danger! Our son! And what were Ty and Amy thinking? They could've been killed! Well, they weren't killed.
But they could've been.
And how do I find out? On Facebook! Not a phone call from you or from Shane! Did you tell him not to tell me? Okay, that's enough.
You know what? I was an idiot to trust you with him.
I made a big mistake and I'm gonna correct it.
Miranda! Shane! C'mon.
Pack it up, we're going.
- What? - We're going.
Miranda, what's going on here? I'm taking Shane home.
That's what's going on.
No! This is crazy.
Come on, I still have two weeks before school starts.
Shane, do as your told.
No.
No way.
It's not fair.
Can we talk about this? Shane, get your stuff.
It's at Big River.
Then we'll pick it up on the way out! Amy, I can't believe you would put a child in danger.
What? Your little episode with the illegal racing guys.
Yeah, I know all about it.
Look, we didn't even know that Shane was in there! He hid in the back of the truck.
In the back of the truck! Wow! That's great! If we had have known he was there, Ty and I would never have gone into that place! But you did, and obviously you stayed even after you found out he was there! He helped us! We couldn't have rescued those horses, if it wasn't for him.
So rescuing horses is more important than the safety of my son? All right! Miranda, you've had a long drive.
So let's all just sit down like civilized people, we'll have some dinner, and just let cooler heads prevail.
So why are all the horses out in the field? Because I'm working with a new horse and he needs the barn to himself.
Not for long.
For as long as I need.
I told you I wanted him out.
Period.
So how's that house of yours coming, Peter? Good.
Good.
We started on the foundation.
They're building a house, Lou and Peter, at the dude ranch.
It's not a construction site yet, so you can stay there tonight.
No.
I told you, we're leaving.
Mom! Look, it's a little late to leave for Moose Jaw.
Plus, we need to talk.
There's nothing to talk about.
Well, it's a little late to drive.
It'll be dark.
So so stay tonight, leave tomorrow.
Well, I'm staying with you.
No.
You're staying with your mother at the dude ranch.
Fine.
But we're leaving first thing in the morning.
Fine.
It's so beautiful.
Yeah.
Well, it's yours to enjoy anytime.
It's sad really.
I miss that feeling of hope I had when all this started.
It's a shame it ended so badly.
It doesn't end badly at all.
You did the right thing bringing Shane here.
I think it's turned out okay.
No it hasn't.
How can you say that? Because it has.
He's happy.
He and I get along really well, and we've had some adventures Adventures.
Yeah, right.
You know, the truth is, I think he feels like a bit of a hero after saving those horses, and that is not a bad thing for a boy his age to feel.
But okay, I-I'm sorry.
You have every reason to feel a little ticked off.
Ticked off? I'm a little more than ticked off.
I can't tell you what happened to my stomach when I saw that video.
Well, Shane just put it together like the movie people with all the exciting and- Oh God Okay, okay.
I'm kidding.
He loves it here.
He loves riding, he's learning to rope.
Of course he loves it here.
Who wouldn't? It makes home look boring.
And that's something I have to deal with, believe me.
Anyway, that doesn't matter.
What does matters is you haven't changed.
You're still irresponsible and I can't trust you with him, and that that's sad.
Good night.
Okay, Lisa.
Look, I understand, but Yeah.
Fine.
Lisa She's furious with us.
Apparently Peter told her it would take a month to finish digging the foundation.
Of course, he should've been the one to talk to her, but he's sound asleep.
You know, between me and you, I'm not so sure this whole building thing is the right way to go either.
It'll be fine.
But honestly, Lisa shouldn't be so upset.
She agreed to this.
You know, it's not like we didn't tell her about it.
We were totally up front with her.
Can you talk to her? No.
Grandpa, she'll listen to you.
No.
Work it out amongst yourselves and leave me out of it.
Is there something going on between you and Lisa? I'm gonna go to bed.
Good night.
He's in really rough shape.
Amy, I've been thinking about that horse.
Maybe I'm wrong.
If it's all right, I'd like to help you with him.
I'm phoning Scott.
Ty, please! You haven't been listening to me and now you're hurt.
This was my fault! He attacked you, Amy! You're lucky you got outta there.
I misread his signals! I should never have gone in the stall like that.
Come on, please.
I screwed up! Look at him.
He's freaking out in there, Amy! He just needs more time.
What is with you and this animal? I couldn't save the other one! I should've stopped Caleb! Amy This was my fault! Amy, these nightmares have seriously messed you up! Ty, can you please just leave? Please? That horse in there, I should've shot him too.
Kept me up all night.
It's a little early in the day for that, isn't it? Where are you going? What do you mean, where am I going? I'm goin' to Grand Prairie rodeo.
I'm gonna go ride bulls.
Caleb, you can't go, man.
You're drunk.
Not drunk enough.
Caleb, come on, man.
Get outta my way, Ty.
Caleb, don't be an idiot, all right?! Let go of me! Let go of me! Caleb, you're not going anywhere.
Let me go! You're not going anywhere, buddy.
Okay Okay.
What am I gonna do? Well, being drunk before noon isn't helping.
You gotta move on, Caleb.
Caleb, do you remember what you said to me? You said if you loved a girl, you'd fight for her.
You'd go down fighting for her.
Do you remember that? - He said that? - What? Caleb, no! That's not the path to take- Yes, it is, Caleb! You love Ashley, right? So what're you gonna do, hmm? I'm gonna fight for her.
Yeah.
That's right! No, it's not! I'm going to Vancouver, and I'm gonna fight for Ashley.
But uh I'm gonna lay down for a little while, first.
You ate all your breakfast.
That's a good boy.
I touched your neck, didn't I? Where they gave you injections.
I'm sorry, I should have known that's what you didn't like.
I bet you hate being cooped up in here, don't you? You like to run.
Okay.
All right, let's do it.
I know I agreed to this house building and I'm not trying to be difficult Well, you sort of are.
We can't build anything in a day, Lisa.
Well, obviously you can't build anything in a day, Peter, I understand that.
But surely the two of you see the effect that this is gonna have on our bottom line.
But you knew about this.
I mean, we talked about these plans and you agreed to them.
You can't just-- Okay, look, we understand that it's one thing to talk about something and another thing to see it happening, but Yes, this will cause some upheaval-- Just a bit!? Look, can I be honest? I'm very caught up in my new venture and I don't have a lot of time for all of this nonsense, so why don't we consider you buying me out.
Oh, come on, Lisa, you can't You took on a responsibility when you bought into that dude ranch.
You can't just pawn it off because you happen to be following some whim with your ex-husband.
A whim? Well, what would you call it? I'd call it a business decision, Jack.
Is that so? Yes, that's so.
Well, I don't know that it's business as much as it is personal.
Okay, do you two need a moment? Personal?! What are you talking about? I saw you kissing him! I saw you kissing him! Yeah.
Okay.
I can't believe you're jealous! Jealous? I am not jealous.
It was Dan, Jack! Yes, he kissed me, I can't deny that.
But what you saw was a rusty, old ex-husband kiss.
It wasn't a mean-something kiss.
Honestly.
That's a mean-something kiss.
What are you doing? What grandpa told me to do.
I'm letting him out.
Look, this horse needs to run.
I know Scott said that he's better left in a stall, but he needs to get some of his energy out.
Ty, look, I understand that you don't agree with any of this, and I know you're worried about me.
And I get that, and I respect that.
But I need you to let me do this.
I said I would help you, so I will.
Okay.
Psst! Ha! Get up! Yah! Come on.
Get up! I thought he'd wanna run, but it's like he's totally depressed or something.
Amy! Amy! She won't even listen to me.
She's already getting ready to leave.
I just don't want to go.
Well, you can always come back.
Give her time to think it over a bit.
What were you thinking posting that stuff on Facebook? Shane, get in the car, we're leaving.
There's only a couple of weeks left of the summer.
Why don't you just let him stay? No.
It's done way more harm than good.
And just so we're clear I told Jack, once, I couldn't compete With this - all of this - and I can't.
And if I keep letting him come here, I'm just gonna lose him.
Lose him.
What're you talking about? Do you have any idea what he's like when he comes home after a visit? It's like he's goes cold turkey.
So I think it's best if we just make a clean break.
A clean break.
Yeah.
I don't think you should have any more contact with him.
He's my son.
I can see him whenever I want.
You don't have that right, Tim.
You haven't earned it.
Miranda! Shane, get in the car.
Miranda! Oh come here.
It's okay.
Okay? We'll work it out.
You gotta go with your mom.
Just you have to.
- Dad - Oh, come on.
You gotta go, I mean it.
It's been kind of a day.
Yeah.
Fine! Fine.
You want out?! Go on! What's going on? I give up.
You were right, Grandpa was right.
There's no fixing him.
Honey, I know you want to build this house, okay? And I understand that it's, you know, an elemental cave man need to put a roof over your family's head.
Cave man what? But we do have to, you know, consider what Lisa was saying.
It's gonna be bad for business.
You know, people stay at the dude ranch for peace and quiet and a construction site isn't exactly peaceful or quiet.
- I know.
- So Honey, can you listen to me, please? Sorry.
I have to check this.
It's a voice mail I've been waiting for.
- Okay.
- I'm sorry.
Two seconds.
Okay.
I just got a job offer.
A consulting job - a really good one.
- What? - Yeah.
Honey, that is great! Yes.
There's one small glitch What? Um It's in Vancouver.
- Vancouver? - Yes.
But Vancouver is not so bad, right? It's like an hour flight away.
Right.
We can deal with that.
Yes! Got your message.
Here I am.
And here I am Apologizing.
I was an idiot.
Mm-hm.
You were.
Now that's a mean-something kiss.
I hope you know that.
You know, people are gonna start thinking you just make a habit of kissing random guys in the middle of town.
Enh! Let them talk.
