Heartland (CA) s05e12 Episode Script

Previously on "Heartland": Why are you so determined with this horse? Oof! This horse is acting exactly like Spartan did after the accident.
He was this close to being put down as well.
If Spartan can come back from that, so can Alcatraz.
I need the brutal honest truth.
Do you think Austin is just using me? Ty, your dad He's gone.
He passed away.
I remember thinking that rock was the coolest thing in the world.
And I grew up and I found out it was worthless.
Just fools gold.
I hope you can find a peaceful place for him.
Eagle Lake.
Look at you two.
You couldn't even get near him a month ago.
I know.
We've come a long way, haven't we, Alcatraz? Yeah.
So how about you? It's gonna be a beautiful day for a ride.
Oh, damn it! Um, yeah.
Um Look, Amy, there's something I need to talk to you about.
Is it about our trip? Look, I hate to do this, it's just um I wanna go up there by myself.
Are you sure, Ty? I cleared my schedule.
I know.
I know.
It's just Um, this is just something You know, it's not really a weekend off for me, it's something a little more than that, so I know.
Eagle Lake's the only place that my family has ever gone together for like a family vacation thing, so I know.
It's where I have some of the best memories of my dad I just need to do it by myself.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Sorry, I was just looking for Mallory.
She's in the barn.
Thanks.
It's okay.
You freaked me out.
What're you doing here? I just wanted to say I'm sorry, for being such a Manipulating, self-serving, two-faced, country singing wannabe? I was just going with jerk.
Is there any way we can talk? Save your breath, I'm not sending any messages to my dad.
Okay, I admit it.
Look, I was using you to get to him at first.
But somewhere along the way, I fell for you.
Like rain from the sky, I fell for you.
Is that like a line from one of your lame songs? Don't you have a "Country Idol" audition to be at? Come on, Mallory.
Is there no way we can get past this? Aghhhhh! What?! Come on! What's up with the waterlogged dude? I don't know, but I'm sure I'll find out in a minute.
Amy, I just wanted to Stop by to see you before I left to make sure that you were okay with this? I just wanna get this over with, okay? Yeah.
Come here.
Hey, Lou has made some really good muffins.
Did she? So you should probably pack a few for your trip.
All right.
See ya.
See ya.
Ty, how's it going? Hey! I heard a rumour about some fresh muffins.
Yup.
Help yourself.
Was that your Norton I heard out there? Uh, yeah.
You hittin' the road? Yep.
Yeah? Where to? Uh, Eagle Lake.
Well, that's quite a ways, but a beautiful stretch of road.
Okay, I'll see you later, Jack.
Hey, is everything okay? Yeah, I'm good.
Ride safe.
Oh, sorry.
What is with you? Ty just left for Eagle Lake.
Without you? He just ditched you? Well, no.
It's a lot more complicated than that.
You going on a trip or something? It's Katie's first "makin' music with mommy" class.
She's 8-months-old.
What kind of music do they expect her to make? Music is very important for babies her age, I'll have you know.
It teaches them cognitive development, comprehensive skills, phonological processing Seriously, Lou, what is that? Okay, I've got snacks, wipes, diapers, lotion Maracas! I am good to go.
Lou, might you be forgetting something? What? The baby! Right.
So what was that about Eagle Lake? Ty and I were supposed to go up there together.
Why didn't you? You promise you won't say anything? Okay.
He's spreading his dad's ashes up there.
Well, it's a beautiful place to do it.
Yeah.
I'm just worried about him.
This morning, I went up to see him and he could barely check the tire pressure his hands were shaking so badly.
He's just been a bundle of nerves lately, and I can't help thinking that's a long road trip for him to go alone on right now.
You're probably right.
Can I warm that coffee up for you? Uh, please.
You new here? Uh, no, I'm the manager.
I'm sorry.
I was in a few times last week, and I definitely would've remembered your smile.
I was out of town, in London, actually.
London? Really.
Man, I love London.
Oh, you've been? Yeah.
I went and visited a buddy of mine that I served with in Afghanistan.
He lives in Hampstead.
Oh, yeah.
I spent some time in that area.
I was at that famous pub.
The Magdella? Yes! Do you know why it's so famous? Best selection of beer in the city.
Well, that, and it's where Ruth Ellis shot her boyfriend dead in the fifties.
She was the last woman to be hanged in England.
That's pretty cool, actually.
It's not as cool as the Guinness and the root beer shooters, but It's a good fact.
Soraya! Hey! Welcome back.
Oh, thanks! I have so much we need to talk about.
How're you?! I'm okay.
Amy?! Bryce?! Hey! How's it going? Great, actually.
You guys know each other? Yeah.
Bryce is one of Caleb's rodeo buddies.
Yeah, actually, Amy helped me with one of my horses.
Honestly, first she kicked my rear-end, then she helped me with the horse.
So are you still riding? Yeah.
You know what? I would really love for you to come by and see what I've been up to.
Can you swing by my ranch, say in about an hour? O-kay.
Cool.
Nice meeting you Uh, Soraya.
See you, guys.
Pick a card, any card Ty used to love this trick when he was a kid.
He used to think I was some kind of a magician.
That's okay, dad, I think everyone's tired.
Ah, it's all right.
Come on.
I'm not tired, I wanna see the trick.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Is this your card? Oh my God, how did you do that? You're so full of crap, you know that?! You left and I got beat up! How's that any different from when I was a kid?! Wait, that's not fair.
That was a long time ago and I I thought you and your mom would be better off without me.
Well, you were wrong.
Way to go, buddy.
Dammit! Whoa, rebel.
Whoa.
It's okay, Randy, you're getting closer each time.
Call it a day, huh? All right.
I don't get it.
My throw keeps coming up short.
Well, to be honest, it's 'cause you're not close enough.
See, you gotta remember, these legs are limp noodles now, right? Got no more power from the waste down, so you gotta get up real close.
You'll get it.
All right.
See you tomorrow? Yeah you will.
Nice work.
Thanks.
That was pretty impressive.
I've been working with injured riders for the past six months.
Kinda use a little rodeo training just to, you know, help build some confidence.
Wasn't enough just to get them on a horse? Well, I mean, anybody can teach that part.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Hey, rebel.
Wow, he's doing really well with those voice cues, huh? Yes, he is.
You know, poor guy, I'm working him to the bone though.
I could probably use a second horse.
Well, I've got a few new horses.
One of them might be suited to this type of work.
Really? I should come by, take a look.
Yeah, sounds good.
So, what do you say, angel? Will you give me one more shot? Well, it's good thing you ride like an old man.
I wasn't sure if I could catch up to you.
What are you doing here? I figured you might use some company.
Well, you're wasting your time and your gas.
I'm doing this alone, Jack.
I see you didn't check for road closures either.
Don't worry, we can get there this way.
Come on.
So grampa just rode after him? Yeah.
And I'm glad he did, but I hope Ty doesn't freak out.
He's not himself lately.
You're really worried about him.
Well, this has been really hard on Ty.
But I just wish that he'd tell me how he's feeling.
- Chuga-chuga chuga-chuga.
Seriously, Lou? No, I'm listening.
Don't worry.
I just wish that he would talk to me, and I would know what's going on in his head Chou, chou, chou! Sorry.
No, I am listening.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Austin wrote me a song.
That guy you hosed down this morning? Yeah, and he still came back to sing it to me.
So I said I'd go out with him.
Am I crazy? No, no, no.
That is the power of music.
You guys should've seen Katie in her class this morning.
She was shaking the maracas and bouncing around Weren't you, honey? Who's my hip hop, baby? Who's my little Beyonce? O-kay.
What? It's you, honey.
It's you! So what? You just decided to hop on your bike and follow me up here? Something like that.
I gotta say, after an hour on that gravel, I was about ready to turn back, but I'm sure glad I didn't.
This is Janoah, the horse I was telling you about.
Hey, Janoah, how you doin', boy? He's really patient and calm.
Calm, huh? More like calm-o-tose.
I prefer horses with a little more spirit, like rebel.
What's his name? Alcatraz Run.
Look at him.
This is what I'm talking about.
Bryce, he's a thoroughbred.
Yeah, I won't hold that against him.
Yeah, he matches rebel.
I want him.
Trust me, you don't.
- So - You've been up here before? Yeah, a long time ago.
With your family? Yeah.
Why? Your dad must be on your mind a lot.
Is that why you followed me up here? Did Amy tell you? We were concerned.
Well, of course we would be! What do you think? I think y'all keep watching me out of the corner of your eye, waiting to see if I'm gonna crack! Well, I'm not, okay? People die.
I didn't come all the way up here to make a big deal out of it.
I just wanna release the ashes and get on with my life.
You know what? I'm gonna get it over with right now, so you can all stop worrying about me.
I don't think this is gonna work, Bryce.
It takes a lot to gain his trust, and when he spooks, it can be really dangerous.
I'm not very threatening from down here.
Well, it's gonna take a long time to teach him voice cues.
That's okay, I can do it.
You know, I taught rebel, and I started with these.
Well, he's not gonna like whips.
Well, I only use them to apply pressure the same way you would with your legs.
Once he understands what I'm asking from him, then I can initiate the voice cues.
I'm sorry, Bryce, I can't let you work with him.
You don't understand, this is an abused horse.
When I first got him he was crazy, and sometimes he still is.
Everyday, I work on restoring people's confidence.
This is what I do now.
So maybe I can work my magic on Alcatraz.
Maybe I can teach him to trust again.
May I see those please? Alcatraz, good boy.
All right.
You see this? They're not gonna hurt you, okay? You're all right.
It's okay.
Hey, hey It's okay, Alcatraz.
Come on, buddy.
They're not gonna hurt ya.
Hey, hey All right, fine.
You wanna run? Run! I know you're in one of your moods.
Okay, so it wasn't a great start, but I can get him used to the whips.
Bryce, you've gotta let this go.
I can make a connection with him.
I'm not gonna sell him to you and that's final.
Ty, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to cause all this trouble.
I thought you and your mom would be better off without me.
Ty, I don't expect you to forgive me, but I do hope I can be part of your life again.
Why don't you come with me? You'll get a chance to see the Grand Canyon.
Promise me you'll think about it.
Oof! Agh! Mallory, how many times have I told you, you leave your muddy boots outside? Whoa, someone's cranky! What's with you? Bryce He's just so stubborn.
Guys, guys, guys You have to check this out.
Listen to her sing.
Oh my God, how cute is that? These music lessons are totally paying off.
Lou, you've got to stop.
What's your problem? Do you remember what Marnie was like when Jerry junior was a baby? She was all about his smiles, and his laughs, and his burps, and his poops I'm not one of those moms! Lou, you thought this was singing.
Okay, you know what? I'm proud of my daughter.
What is so wrong with that? Nothing.
We think she's great too, but lately, all you can talk about is the baby.
That is so not true.
Fine, you know what? I'll prove it to you.
Me and you, dinner tonight at Maggie's.
No baby talk.
All right, you're on.
Uh, hello? You just assume I'll babysit? I have plans tonight.
C'mon, Mallory, when do Amy and I ever get a sisters' night out? I'll pay you double the usual.
Triple? Double and a half.
Fine.
I guess I can change my plans around a little.
Thank you.
Nice.
Oh Back already? Uh, was it the coffee or the smile? It was your friend, actually.
Yeah.
Amy's the most stubborn girl that I've ever met.
Yes, well, Amy can be that way, but it's usually because she's right, so.
Oh, yeah? Well, she's not right this time.
I just need to find a way to prove it to her.
You have any advice? Good luck with that.
Thanks.
Hey, um Thought maybe you'd wanna borrow that.
"A guide to London's most interesting and unusual pubs.
" Well, if you like the Magdella, you're definitely gonna dig some of those places.
Yeah, this is This is so cool.
I'm actually going there in the new year.
Really? I'm planning to go myself.
When are you thinking of going? Maybe we could check out some of these haunts together.
Uh, yeah, that-that would be great, I just um I can't.
I've got sort of No need to explain.
Enjoy the book.
Thanks.
Ty! Ty I should never have followed you up here, and I'm sorry.
I wanted to say something.
I don't know, I just wanted to say something, and I clammed up.
He's gone, Jack, he's really gone.
Well, you made your peace now.
It's over.
No, it's not.
I couldn't do it.
I didn't know how to say goodbye.
Sorry, I kinda lost it there.
No need to explain.
I've just had a lot on my mind and I haven't really figured out how to deal with it yet.
Well, no wonder.
You just lost your father.
Yeah.
But in a weird sort of way I always felt like I was the parent and he was the kid.
You know, you've been more of a father to me than he ever was.
You know, my mom thought it'd be better if she came up to tell me about my dad in person.
But I gotta say, after seeing her again Opened some old wounds, huh? When I was growing up, my mom was such a carefree person, funny - she was always trying to make us laugh - and My dad just sorta wore her down.
He was a tough guy to live with, you know? And then Wade came along, and uh It's like she became this Completely different person.
I don't understand why she went back to him.
Well, maybe she loves him.
Or at least maybe she thinks she does.
You know, I went through the same thing with Marion.
Tim was real nasty back when he was drinking too much and hooked on pills, and I wanted him out of her life.
But she figured she could help him beat it.
Boy, it was tough just sittin' there, watching her take all his B.
S.
What're you talking about? You threw Tim out on his butt.
Well, a man has his limits, and it was my house, dammit.
But I I made sure that Marion knew I was closing the door on Tim and not her.
Anyway So there's Cam, swinging a sparkly hula hoop around the office, and he knocks an entire can of pop all over Lynn's laptop - his boss.
Did he get fired? No, but there are no more hula hoop Fridays.
Your office sounds like so much fun.
It is.
I have to admit, it's a break for me, you know? Look, I love Katie more than anything, but she is so much work, you know? And it starts everyday at six o'clock when she screams like I haven't fed her in a Lou.
Month.
Enough about Katie.
How's Ty? To be honest, your guess is as good as mine.
That doesn't sound good.
I don't know, he's dealing with the death of his dad, and then there's his mom and Wade Mm.
Sorry.
It's just a reminder.
For what? Mm.
It's nothing.
It's to check on Katie, isn't it? No! Maybe.
Go ahead.
You've done a lot better than I thought you would.
You know what? I don't have to, because I trust Mallory, and I know she's giving Katie her undivided attention.
So are you sure it's okay for me to be here? Of course not, but Lou will check in at some point, and then I'm gonna have to kick you out.
Cool.
So we have some time.
I think we need popcorn.
You know, it's okay, you don't have to do that.
Yeah, I do.
Well, I'm gonna turn in.
You'll take care of the fire? Yeah, I'll be up for a while.
I should've brought Amy.
Well, why didn't you? I don't know, I just I guess there's a side of me I didn't want her to see, so I just took off.
I guess I'm no better than my dad was.
Did I ever tell you about my old man? Was a hell of a hockey player back in the day.
Even got offered a try-out with Toronto.
Really, with the Leafs? No, the St.
Patricks We're talking way back in the day.
But he wouldn't leave the ranch, said the family needed him.
Truth was He needed the comfort of home.
So he stayed and never took his shot.
And then When I decided to head off on the rodeo circuit, he nearly hit the roof.
He didn't want you to go? No.
He thought I was crazy for chasing some stupid pipe dream.
And we had it out, and I jumped in my truck and ended up at those same cross roads I took you to last summer.
Huh.
The world in front of me looked like a big scary place And I just about turned back.
But I knew I'd end up just like him, regretting the risks I never took, so I went for it.
All I'm saying, Ty, is we can't do much about the mistakes our father's made, but we can sure as hell choose not to repeat them.
We have got to do this more often.
You know, I actually missed your stories about Katie.
Oh, don't worry, I will make it up to you, I promise.
I'm sure you will.
Hey, can I talk to you for a sec? Yeah, I'll go pull the truck around.
I'll see you later, Soraya.
I feel like a bad person.
Am I a bad person? What're you talking about? I think I gave Bryce the wrong idea and he asked me out.
I have a feeling he asks a lot of girls out.
Yeah, but I said no, and what if he thinks it's 'cause he's in a wheelchair? Well, it's not, right? No, of course not.
It's because of Dillon, that guy in London? Huh? Are you in love? You are, aren't you? I can totally tell.
I just wish you could meet him.
When's he coming to Hudson? UmThat's actually what I wanted to talk to you about.
You know, I didn't wanna do the long distance thing, so I kind of made a decision.
Well, Soraya, don't give up what you have with Dillon just because he lives in a different country.
Long distance relationships are difficult.
They work, lots of people do them.
Actually, no, I'm not giving up.
It's It's kinda the opposite.
I um Next semester, I'm transferring schools.
I'm moving to London.
So what do you want to do? We can listen to music or something? Sure.
Hey, I actually have the perfect cd.
Okay, that's my demo! Mm-hmm.
I burned it off the cd you gave to my dad.
Don't hate me, but this is The first time I actually have listened to it.
Do you mind maybe turning something else on? I can't stand hearing myself sing.
No, I recognize this song.
Yeah.
Maria? You're waiting on Maria? Really? Because I thought you said you wrote that song for me? That's what you said, right? Yeah.
Oh! I can't believe I almost gave you a second chance! Please let me explain this! As if using me to get to my dad isn't bad enough, you make me think that you wrote a song for me? C'mon, Mallory, this is not what it sounds like, I promise.
And the whole time it's about this chick named Maria? Really? I'm speechless, and that's weird for me.
Just get out, and take Maria with you.
Okay, fine.
Fine.
I didn't write the song for you, but there is no Maria, I promise.
Wow, you just keep shovelling it higher and higher.
It's true.
Look, I just picked a random name, I put it in the song, and then I met you and I rewrote it, because you're the girl I've been waiting for.
So, for me, this has become your song.
I don't believe you.
It's true.
Really? Really.
No B.
S.
? No B.
S.
Oh my God, they're home.
Go.
Run! Okay.
Okay.
Quick! Quick! Hey.
How was your sisters' night out? It was fun, it was good.
Uh, why is there popcorn all over the place? Sorry.
I was watching a scary movie and Ow! Oh my Agh! Who leaves their boots laying in the middle of the porch? Mallory?! Jack? Jack.
Ugh.
What time is it? It's early.
Look, I'm heading up to this great spot that overlooks the lake.
Well, I'm heading back to sleep.
Oh, sure, of course.
Well, I'll see you when I get back.
Whoa.
Whoa, hold up.
It's time for me to do this.
And you want me come? Okay.
I can't believe Mallory last night.
I mean, since when is she so boy crazy? She's not a little girl any more, Lou.
Yeah, I know, she's growing up, and as her role models, it is our job to teach her some responsibility.
You know, she knows I never would've let her have a boy over while she was babysitting.
Okay.
So what're you gonna do about it? I don't know yet, but she needs to learn a lesson from this.
What the hell is he doing? Bryce? Bryce! Get out of there, now.
Man, calm down, Amy.
Watch this.
Hey? Come here.
Come on.
It's okay.
Hmm? There, see? That's a good boy.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
See, that feels nice, huh, Alcatraz? See, he's getting used to it.
I don't care.
What if you were to get hurt out here? I've had a lawsuit before.
Come on, we've just been hanging out, getting to know each other.
Needed some time.
I don't believe you.
If you wanted to work with Alcatraz, you should've asked me.
This is my horse.
Come on.
You're lucky he didn't blow up.
He's real gentle with me, okay? He passed his first test today You need drop it, Bryce.
What is it with you and this horse? Look, I just don't think you wanna give him up.
I'm just being realistic.
He's still got a long way to go before he's ready for para-riding.
Yeah, well, give the guy a break, okay? I needed a little time too, but you didn't give up on me.
I know that you're gonna have boyfriends, but you were supposed to be watching Katie last night.
And I was.
How can you watch a baby when you're making out with some guy? We were just listening to music.
Right.
Whatever.
Look, the point is you need to learn about responsibility, and I have to be able to count on you.
And to tell you the truth, I'm a bit disappointed in you.
Really? You're gonna play the whole "I'm so disappointed in you" card? You're such a hypocrite.
Hypocrite? What're you talking about? Think back, Lou.
Think way back to when you used to babysit me.
Remember? Yeah so? So you used to have Scott over all the time.
No wonder you got the idea we were making out.
- I didn't - I mean that wasn't Okay, look, that was different because You remember that? Yeah.
Uh, his escape route was through my bedroom window.
Good boy, Alcatraz.
Good boy.
So these are not gonna hurt you.
All right? Give the guy a break, okay? I needed a little time too, but you didn't give up on me.
You be a good boy Good boy.
You're okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
When I put it on, it's just a little pressure, like my leg.
It's okay, it's okay.
Hey, take it easy.
I'll just do it lightly.
There you go.
Good boy.
Good boy.
All right, don't cut in on me.
There you go.
It's okay.
Good boy.
Good boy.
My dad and I hiked up here the last day of our trip, just me and him.
He dared me to jump.
That's a pretty good drop.
Yeah, but he said he did it when he was a kid, and now it was my turn.
So did you jump? Yeah.
And I was pretty proud, and so was he.
And then I get back up here and he tells me that he never did it.
You know, for all his faults, he had a way of making me believe in myself.
You sure you're okay with me being here? Yeah.
You know, I wish I could've talked to him one last time.
Maybe he could've made me understand why he did some of the things that he did.
Who knows, maybe I could've forgiven him.
I just wish I had that chance.
Well, maybe he heard you just now.
Goodbye dad.
You sure you don't want to stay one more day? No.
I just wanna get back, see Amy.
I'm sure she can't wait to see you either.
Hey, Jack, I want to thank you for everything, for being here.
Amy! To what do I owe the visit? Well, I've been working with him, and he might just have the makings for this.
But you're gonna have to take it slow.
I know.
And you have to be patient with him.
I will.
Okay.
Where do you want him? Uh, just throw him in the big pen for now.
Come on, boy.
All right, you, this is your home now, okay? Bryce is gonna treat you real well.
Just so you know, I'll be around to see if you're behaving yourself, okay? And if you're not, I'm gonna come back and kick your butt, all right? So you be a good boy.
Good boy Okay, so I want you to call me the minute this doesn't work out.
I will, but I think we'll be okay.
Thanks.
You just take good care of him.
Oh, and Bryce, my friend Soraya, she thinks that she hurt your feelings.
I know why you won't hang out with me.
Uh I get it.
No.
No, you don't.
Um, I have a boyfriend, in London, and that's why I'm going back.
It has nothing to do with your With your um My wheelchair? I swear, I swear it's not.
Well, no kidding.
I was gonna say you have a thing against cowboys.
See, now I know that it's true.
What're you talking about? You would rather be with some English dandy than a guy from your hometown.
Okay, first of all, he's from Toronto, and he's no dandy, whatever that means.
Well, I'm sure he's a fine chap.
Yes.
Yes, he is, actually.
Good.
There's some great trails up there.
We should go there sometime.
So Mallory's looking after Katie for the whole morning? Yup.
That should be a good lesson for her.
She loves Katie.
How is that your big lesson? Are you going soft on me? No.
It's just Mallory and her insane memory.
What do you mean? Nothing.
Long, boring story, trust me.
So how'd it go with Alcatraz? The drop-off went well But I don't know.
I don't know if it's gonna work out.
Bryce is tough, but Alcatraz is a lot to handle.
Hmm.
What? That's what I thought when you and Ty first got together.
Well, I guess I can see why you were thinking that.
I mean, Ty was this juvenile delinquent with a bad attitude and a motorcycle.
Uh, no, actually.
Other way around; I thought Ty couldn't handle you.
As if.
Well, whatever way you wanna look at it, you two were a pretty unlikely match.
Look at you now.
You've provin' us all wrong.
Take that, old man! Ty, look out! Ty!
