Heartland (CA) s06e08 Episode Script

Previously on "Heartland": I'm thinking I should really stick with Hubbard, and I think you should too.
Not gonna happen.
I already quit.
But you gotta make a choice, him or me.
Are you back with him? He's exactly the same, and you and me, we are exactly the same.
We keep having this conversation over and over again.
You hated every minute of that trip to France.
I went on the trip, Lise.
What else do you want from me?! You're here and I'm there.
We should take a break.
Yah! Ha! Come on! Hup, hup! Come on! Hup! Come on! Hup! Come on! Come on! Hup! Come on! Hup! Let's go! Hup! Yah! Hiyah! Come on! Hup! Hup! Come on! Hup! Yah! Whoa, whoa, whoa You know, when you said chuck wagon horses on the phone, I was thinking bigger horses.
Yeah, well, the regular chucks are all right, but this is a lot more fun if you ask me.
Well, yeah, they sure were fast.
Yup.
What they lack in size they make up for in speed.
This here's my four best horses, but I got another team that isn't performing so well.
You see, I got one big problem.
Well More like one miniature problem.
That's Bug.
He's a nice looking horse, but he's throwing off the entire team.
Well, have you tried ground driving him with the lead horse? Yeah, I've tried everything.
Nothing seems to make any difference.
Bug was sired by one of my fastest horses, so I know he's made of the right stuff.
He's just not reaching his potential.
He's a pretty friendly little guy.
Yeah, you got that right.
Follows people around like a puppy dog.
But I got no use for a pet.
I need you to transform Bug into a winner.
You think you're up to that? Yeah.
I'll give it a shot.
Excuse me, I have to take this.
Lily, hi.
What's going on? You're doing a good job there, sweetie.
I'm not getting involved, Amy.
Come on, Ty, your mom sounded really worried.
I think you should at least go talk to him, and I'll go with you.
No.
No way.
If I go, and that's a big if, I'm going alone.
So Ty's starting vet school soon and I promised Amy I would throw him this dinner party, so I'm gonna need you to go to the grocery store so I can finally get some work done around here.
Sure.
I can do that.
Thank you, Mallory.
You are a life saver.
But I can do so much more than that.
Why don't you let me organize Ty's dinner? That way you can concentrate on your work, and I can concentrate on creating dinner party magic.
I don't know, Mallory.
It's a lot of responsibility.
I am fully capable of putting up some decorations and putting a roast in the oven.
Plus, Katie's gonna be at her grandparents, so I don't have to worry about babysitting.
I can totally do this.
All right.
But I can't risk anything going wrong, so first things first.
We need to be in constant communication.
From now on, you're gonna sleep and you eat wearing this earpiece.
- Got it? - Got it.
And you're gonna need to find an assistant because being in charge is all about delegating.
Who do I delegate to? I am so hungry.
Normally, I'd say I could eat a horse, but I can't say that anymore.
Georgie, clear your schedule! Huh? What am I doing? Come on! Come on, come on.
You gotta be kidding me! Agh! Looks like you might need a hand with that.
And at the break of day you sank into your dream, you dreamer.
Oh, oh, oh You dreamer, you dreamer.
Well, you're water pump's shot and the generator's not looking too good.
Neither is the carburetor.
It'll be tough finding parts for a '57.
Yeah, I can get 'em online.
That's gonna be pricy.
Luckily for you, I've got a friend who can help out, free.
No, I bet you do.
Nah, Ty, it's not like that.
This is a legit friend.
Oh, I bet he is.
Hey, man, you don't want my help, that's fine.
Why don't you tell me what you're doing up here.
- My mom called.
- Oh yeah? Checking up on me? I gotta tell you, I find that so satisfying knowing she's out there twitching, especially after she broke things off with me with no explanation.
She's worried about you.
Well, you can report back to her that I've never been happier.
My boss has got me working out here for a few days, so You change your mind about those parts, you know where to find me.
- No, no, no.
- Mallory, you have to go today.
Yeah, before the bakery closes.
Okay.
Yes.
Bye.
So are you gonna talk on the phone all day, or are you gonna talk to me.
I'm sorry, but I did tell you this would be a working lunch.
I have a lot going on today.
- What? - Jerk alert.
- Well, look who it is.
- Tim Fleming.
Oh! Hi, Dan.
I haven't seen you for awhile.
You remember my daughter, Lou.
- Hi, Dan.
- Hi, Lou.
You know, I haven't seen your father around the track lately.
I guess he never did manage to come up with a winning horse.
Well, I'm not in the race business any more, Dan.
I decided to follow the money back to my herd of cattle.
Never should've left them in the first place.
Well, I could've told you that, Tim.
I mean, this racehorse business, it's not for the faint of heart Or the faint of wallet.
Am I right? Excuse me.
Can you believe that guy? You know, Dan is the one man in Hudson who has more money than Lanny Barrick.
If he wasn't Lisa's ex-husband, I would totally go after his business.
You land a big fish like Dan, Lanny Barrick and his buddies will follow right in suit.
I know.
But I could never do that to Grandpa.
I mean, he can't stand the guy.
I've never met someone I disliked so much I couldn't take their money.
No, no.
You know what? It's a bad idea and I am just gonna forget about it.
You're right, that sounds like you.
I swear, I will never say the name Dan Hartfield ever again.
Dan Hartfield.
For what? It's just an idea, and I wouldn't even think of pursuing him as a client without your blessing.
And why would you need me to bless that? Because he's Lisa's ex-husband, and I know there's a lot of water under that bridge, so You do what you want, Lou.
Really? That guy means nothing to me.
Never did.
So you go to town on him.
Thank you.
I can't believe this.
I spent the last of my savings getting the truck towed.
Now, how am I gonna get it fixed? Sorry about your truck.
Hey, um What happened with Wade? Did you end up seeing him? Yeah.
And? And nothing.
He's fine.
I already called my mom and told her there's nothing to worry about.
I just wish that she didn't get you involved in that.
I don't mind.
She's your mom.
I care about her too.
Well, one thing's for sure, I'm gonna sleep better knowing that he's not in her life anymore.
Oh! Lou wanted me to tell you don't forget about the big dinner she's planning.
What's the occasion? - You.
- Me? Amy, you know I don't like those things.
Come on.
Vet school, you're starting in a few weeks It's time to celebrate, you know? I haven't graduated, Amy.
I still have four years, and that's if I pass.
It's just dinner, right? Come on, now.
You worry too much.
See ya! Stupid truck.
Don't worry, Lou, I picked up everything on the list.
I'm carrying in the groceries as we speak.
Everything is right on schedule.
No, you're amazing! Okay.
Bye.
"No, you're amazing!" Not now, Georgie.
I'm concentrating.
It's my responsibility to execute Lou's vision for this dinner, perfectly.
And how important to Lou's vision is the cake? Because we never did stop at the bakery.
Oh! I forgot! And it closes in half an hour! What? Did I say we were taking a break? I don't recall you being the boss.
Fine.
It's your hay.
You haul it.
Oh, somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed.
I was just fine until I saw you.
It's like watching a cow chewing her cud.
You're all riled up 'cause Lou's gone into business with Dan.
Dan who? You know damn well who I'm talking about, Jack.
Why don't you go back to chewing and leave me alone.
No.
Why don't we have this out right now? 'Cause I'm tired of your mood swings.
You're either going through some kind of male menopause, or something happened with Lisa.
You oughta mind your own business.
No.
Come on! You gotta talk to somebody about this, Jack.
It might as well be me.
You're the last person on this planet that I would confide in.
- That hurts me.
- Good! 'Cause it was your advice that got me into this mess in the first place.
- What do you mean? - I was gonna tel Lisa how I really felt about being in France, but you said, "No.
Don't rock the boat.
" I said that? So I didn't, which was stupid 'cause we had one hell of a fight and now she's gone.
She left me.
Are you happy? No! No.
I'm sorry.
You took my advice? With my track record?! Shut up.
Oh! Look at these guys.
They're so cool! Can I ride one tomorrow? No, you can't ride one! Bug here has some issues that I'm working on.
Why? What's wrong with him? Well, you see, he refuses to cooperate with Spike here, the lead horse, and I've been ground driving them all day, and it just doesn't work.
He's not listening.
Maybe it's like herding cattle.
You just need patience, knowledge of the flight zone and a bit of bovine psychology.
Yeah, I don't know if that applies to horses.
But, since you're so eager to help, why don't you give me a hand taking this off and we'll put them away.
Gladly! Especially if it means I can get away from Mallory.
She's driving me nuts! I'm sure she is.
All right Oh! Look who's here.
What's the matter, Ty? You missed me already? I wouldn't be here if I had any other option.
What can I do for you? I need the name of your friend who collects the old trucks.
I can't get the parts online.
You know, usually, when somebody asks me for a favour, they say "please.
" Since you asked me so nicely, I'll see what I can do for you.
All I need is a number, Wade.
You know, my buddy Darrell, he's a little on the eccentric side.
Probably better if I do the talking.
You know what? Forget it.
Hey, come on.
You want the parts or not? "Happy retirement Larry.
" Who's Larry? Stay outta there! Chill! I was just looking.
I barely made it to the bakery on time yesterday.
They were just locking the door as I arrived.
I had to practically beg them to give me the cake that Lou special ordered.
She would've freaked if I messed this up.
Actually And I noticed you haven't done the vacuuming in the living room yet.
I have to tell you something.
Less talking, more vacuuming.
And after that, I need you to unload the dishwasher, set the table, put up the decorations, and pick wild flowers for the centre piece.
Okay? It sounds like a lot of work, but it'll all be worth it when I see everyone's face when you serve dessert.
Good! Well, this uh Certainly is rustic.
My company may be small, but I can assure you that you'll have access to the same financial products as you would with a larger firm I know, I know.
With the added bonus of a competitive fee base- Lou! You can stop there.
Lisa cannot say enough good things about your financial skills, and believe me, I know how hard she is to impress.
So I'm willing to give you ten percent of my portfolio.
Really? You make me some real money, and we'll talk more later.
Thank you, Dan.
This is an amazing opportunity and And I won't let you down.
Okay.
I'll have my accountant send over the necessary information.
Oh, and you should know that Lisa and I will be keeping our finances separate At least for now.
Mm-hmm.
Um, isn't that a given considering you guys are divorced? Yes, but now that we've reconciled, um, you know, we may be pooling our resources.
Uh-huh.
- I'll see you.
- Okay.
What're you doing here? Oh, come on now, is that any way to greet the man who just solved all your problems? You got the parts? Yeah, I got the parts.
Well, sort of.
We gotta go pick 'em up.
Come on, let's go.
Climb in.
What're you waiting for? Just give me the address, Wade.
I'll get the parts on my own.
Oh no, man, you'll never find it.
It's way out in the middle of nowhere.
Come on! Let's get in.
Tick tock.
All right, forget about it.
Hold on, hold on.
Now you're talking.
Where are we going? Way out by Greer Lake.
That's three hours from here! That's all right, I drive fast.
Don't worry about it.
Let's go.
Get your leg in! Darrell swore there'd be a '57 around here somewhere.
I thought you said he was a collector.
This is just a bunch of junk.
You know what they say: One man's junk is another man's treasure.
Ah! Jackpot.
Right there.
Yeah, it looks like the right year.
Mm-hmm.
What'd I tell ya? Yeah, well, who knows what condition the engine's in.
- Actually, it's in pretty good shape.
- Mm-hmm.
It might not be a waste of time after all.
Don't look so surprised.
Let's get to work.
I cannot believe that Lisa and Dan are back together.
Now don't go over the deep end here.
I have to tell Grandpa.
No.
No! This is not the kind of news that your grandpa wants to hear from his granddaughter.
So what am I supposed to do? So you're just supposed to keep it under your hat.
- What?! - Hey.
Hi- hi, grandpa! You're here! You You look good.
Are you Are you wearing a new shirt? No.
No? Must be new boots, hey? No.
Hmm You're acting weird.
Stop it.
I'm not acting weird.
What's wrong with you? I can't keep secrets from Grandpa.
I'm sorr- I have to tell him.
No! No.
No.
It'll be better if he hears the news from me.
Okay, you're right.
You guys can commiserate.
I mean your love life actually sucks worse than his does.
No! That's not what I meant.
Well, it does.
Thank you.
It's a good effort, I just think, in events like this, less is more.
Plus, I think the banner should go on that side of the room.
And these wild flowers, they look like weeds.
That's because they are weeds.
You did a nice job on the vacuuming, I just think I'm gonna have to redo everything else.
You know what, Mallory? You can redo the vacuuming too.
What is your problem? You are! And you know what? From now on, you're on your own! Come on! Hup! Hup! Hup! Come on! What's going on with you, Bug? Why can't you just follow Spike's lead, huh? What am I doing wrong? - I can't take it anymore! - She's a demon monster! Not now, Georgie.
You won't believe what Mallory just did! Can't you see that I'm busy? Why don't you just follow Mallory's lead for once? Because I'm not a horse! Georgie Remember, if we see the bear, just scare it away.
I don't want you getting trigger happy.
Yeah, well, Jack, I lied about the bear.
Then why am I out here? Well, I thought we'd shoot some targets, like the old days.
I don't have time for this.
Some of us have actual work to do.
Look it, look it, justHang on a second.
This is really good You know, it's a good way to blow off steam if you've got something on your chest, romantically speaking I knew I shouldn't have told you about Lisa.
This is none of your business.
Just a second, Jack, I got something to say.
Then say it.
Okay I hate to be the one that has to say this, but the other day when Lou got together with Dan, he made it sound like He and Lisa were getting back together again.
Okay! Good boy, Spike.
Good boy.
Whoa Yeah good boy, Spike.
See? Come on.
Woo! Woo! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, Spike! Whoa! Ungh! Ow ow Help! Amy! Anybody?! Hey, Bug.
Wanna help me up? It's okay.
Okay.
Come on, let's go.
Good good boy.
Good boy, let's go.
Georgie! What happened? I fell, but I'm okay.
No, you're not okay.
Let's get you inside.
Come on.
Thanks, Bug.
Generator, water pump, carburetor, distributor I got everything I need plus backups.
Yeah.
I told you, Darrell always delivers.
Yeah, where is he anyway? I should probably thank him.
Never mind about that.
We should uh We should get going here.
Okay, well, give me a hand with this.
Crap! Come on, get in here! What-what is that? A dog.
I know it's a dog! What's it doing out there? Why didn't Darrell tie him up? Darrell doesn't exactly know we're here.
I thought you said he was a friend of yours.
He is a friend of mine, but He's in Arizona right now, and I couldn't get a hold of him.
I knew he'd be fine with us coming out here and helping ourselves, I just forgot about that dog.
I knew it.
I knew coming here with you was a bad idea.
Just relax.
You got a cell phone, right? Call up your vet buddy, tell him to get here with tranquilizer gun.
It's in my hoodie.
I think the dog just ate it for lunch.
Well, the good news is I'm pretty sure it's just a sprain, but if it gets any worse - it hurts a lot - we'll take you into the clinic, okay? Are you mad at me? No, I'm not mad at you.
But there is a reason why I told you not to ride those horses.
I was mad at Mallory, and I guess I just wasn't thinking.
I'm really sorry.
It's okay.
I'm sorry I snapped at you.
I can't figure out what's going on with Bug, and I was just really frustrated.
What will happen if you can't solve his problem? I don't know.
His owner might have to sell him.
That's too bad.
He really helped me today.
I know.
He's a pretty special little horse.
Okay, i'll make you a deal.
I won't give up on Bug, if you promise you won't give up on Mallory.
I promise.
Deal.
Where did he go? I can hear him.
Okay, I got a plan.
Darrell got this dog in the late nineties, so he's probably pretty old and deaf now.
I say all we do is wait for him to fall asleep and we make a run for it.
That's your plan? You got a better one, let's hear it.
No, I don't, but that doesn't mean yours stinks any less.
I don't care how old that dog is, as soon as we open that door he's gonna hear us.
Ah, give me a break, will ya? I didn't know this was gonna happen.
Every time I get involved with you, Wade, something goes wrong.
Every time.
I was trying to help you out.
I had the best of intentions, I did.
Oh, I'm sure you did.
I just can't win with you, can I? No matter what I do, I'm always gonna be the bogeyman to you.
That's right, except you're real.
I get it, Ty.
I was a crap stepdad, I know.
But you You were no ray of sunshine yourself there for awhile.
We both made our share of mistakes.
Okay, I can't listen to this.
Ungh! Are you nuts?! I can't believe I'm stuck in here with you.
Yeah, well, it's no picnic for me either.
Jack.
Well, it's good to see you.
Hello, Dan.
So I hear you're one of Lou's new clients.
Actually, she just called to inform me that she's too busy to take on new clients, which is odd because I'm pretty sure that I was her only client.
If Lou's looking to run her business right into the ground, she's off to a good start.
Well, maybe you were too "small potatoes" for her.
Excuse me? Hard not to take it personally, I know, but Lou is exceptional at what she does and her dance card's probably pretty full.
She might've moved on a little too quickly, but that happens sometimes, doesn't it? Have a good day.
So Bug refuses to cooperate with the lead horse.
I've tried ground driving him, I've switched up his feed, but nothing seems to work.
Yeah, he's a stubborn little bugger, - isn't he? - He is.
It's funny.
He He doesn't really seem to like the company of other horses, but he loves people.
Yup! That's 'cause of my daughter, Emma.
She loves to spoil the horses.
Bug is her favourite.
She used to bottle feed him when he was a foal.
But Bug's too well bred to be a pet, so keep trying, okay? I will do.
Come on, Emma, time to go.
You got it? All right.
Want some jerky? No, I don't.
Why do you wanna keep that old truck anyway? Seems to cause you more problems than it's worth.
Look, man I know this trying to talk and be civil thing isn't easy.
Fine.
Uh, I got that truck just before I came to Heartland.
There's, uh, some memories then.
Yup.
Care to elaborate? Um There was this one time I went to this party that Amy was at, right after I got to Heartland, and I ended up punching out some guy, and uh Amy didn't like that too much, so She left, started walking home, and I followed her, picked her up on the side of the road and uh she gave me a hard time because I didn't have any heat In my truck.
There was no heater.
Who was the guy you punched out? He was her boyfriend at the time.
I guess that worked out pretty well for you then, didn't it? Why do you think a nice girl like Amy wants to hang out with a guy like you? I ask myself that every day.
She is the best thing that ever happened to me.
Hmm.
I know you're probably not gonna believe this, but I feel the same way about your mom.
She always made me wanna be a better man all around.
It took me too long to realize that though, I think.
Yeah, way too long.
I asked her to marry me again.
She said she wanted to think about it for a while, and then she ended up saying no.
That was that.
Well, I guess you and me have got something in common then.
I asked Amy to marry me, and she didn't really say no, but We uh We agreed to wait.
Wait for what? Uh, I don't know.
Just uh just wait.
Do you hear that? He stopped barking.
Yeah.
Must be sleeping.
I think he's gone.
- All right.
- Let's get outta here.
What about the parts? What about the dog? I'm not leaving without 'em.
All right Go! Run! Run! Run! - Run! - Holy crap! Come on, Wade! Go! Agh! Agh! What're you gonna do about it? What're you gonna do about it, huh? Oh man I need a beer.
Yeah, me too.
What happened to you? Never mind.
I need to tell you something.
Okay.
I'm not just some kid you can push around.
I know.
I'm sorry.
You are? I realize now that I may have gone a little overboard.
All right, a lot overboard.
I just wanted everything to be perfect.
Somewhere along the way, I'd realized that I turned into Lou, only worse.
I was drunk with power But it was all in the pursuit of greatness.
Okay.
You don't have to lay it on so thick.
I accept your apology.
Good.
So you won't mind redoing the vacuuming in the living room? Actually, I have to show you something first.
"Happy Retirement Larry"?! They gave me the wrong cake! You think? Lou's gonna kill me.
Don't worry, we can fix this.
How? I've watched every cake decorating show on TV and I'm practically an expert, but you have to do exactly what I say.
- This is a bad time.
- You're working.
Mm-mm.
I'm updating my blog.
Come in.
Sit down.
Yeah, I should be working, but that would require actually having clients.
That's what I need to talk to you about.
I want you to call Dan and tell him you want his business back.
Grandpa I won't let you sacrifice your company because you're worried about my ego.
I don't need Dan.
I know how much his business would be worth to you.
Yeah, it would, but you're worth more to me, so stop telling me what to do.
It's my decision, not yours.
That's enough about work.
I haven't talked to you in a while, and I want you to tell me how you're doing.
Oh, I'm all right.
The other day, I swore I saw Lisa walking down the street, then it turned out not to be her after all.
Are you sure about this? Well, my mom used to know this woman who trained horses to be guide animals.
Like seeing eye dogs, except horses? Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
When I found out that Robert's daughter was blind, it just made sense.
Wait.
Weren't you hired to make Bug into a chuck wagon horse? Yeah, but I think he's capable of so much more.
I just have to prove it.
Okay, Bug, Let's go.
Keep going Keep going.
Good boy.
Woo-hoo! That was amazing! Oh, Bug, you're so good! Good job, Bug! Good boy! So I guess Wade really came through, huh? Yeah, and he almost got us killed in the process.
But he did help, right? And he didn't ask for anything in return.
What's your point, Amy? I just think with everything that's happened, maybe it's time to consider the possibility Wade isn't the same guy he used to be.
Just because he acted like a human for five minutes, doesn't mean he's any different.
Your mom believed that he'd changed.
That's why she got back together with him.
And then she broke it off, Amy.
Probably because she realized he's the same destructive person that he always was.
That's not true.
Lily told me why she turned down Wade's marriage proposal.
She was scared, but not of Wade.
She was scared of losing you.
She said that? Yeah.
She thought if she married Wade, then Then you'd never talk to her again.
She broke it off because of you.
Never heard of a seeing-eye horse before.
Buck has all the qualities of a perfect guide animal.
In my opinion he was born to do this.
I don't know, just don't seem right to me.
I wanna show you something.
All right, Emma, you can start walking.
You don't need to be afraid.
Bug will take care of you.
That's good! You look great.
Now, I know it seems unusual, but miniature horses with the right temperament can be great guide animals.
Since Emma has grown up around horses, I figure it's just about perfect.
Now, there are people who specifically train miniature horses to be guide animals.
So, if you want, I can make a few calls.
One thing's for sure.
Bug's a lousy chuck wagon horse.
If this is what he's meant to do, then I'm all for it.
Look at her go.
You're doing great honey! That a girl! Way to go, Emma! I got your message.
What do you need now? Some money? A kidney? Do you love her? I need to hear you say it, Wade.
Yeah.
I love your mother very much.
Okay.
Go back to Vancouver then.
Tell her I won't stand in your way anymore.
What made you change your mind? Uh I guess I realized I'm a little too old to believe in the bogeyman.
All right.
Let me get that hose outta the way.
Try it.
There.
This is very impressive.
It was all your vision, Lou.
I simply brought it to life.
It's good, but I have notes.
I'm not sure about the carnations.
I'm thinking Wild flowers.
And the banner should really be on that side of the room.
Told you.
Ooh! This must be the cake I ordered.
Don't you wanna wait for the big reveal at the end of dinner? Are you kidding? This cake cost a fortune.
I wanna see what it looks like.
Hmm Mallory I know.
I'm sorry, I screwed up.
Well, I mean, with a fabulous cake like this, we should really be using the silver platter, don't you think? You're right.
My bad.
Okay! Let's check on your progress in the kitchen.
Hmm! - Well, well! - You got your truck fixed! Yeah! As good as new, thanks to Wade.
So you talked to him then? Yeah.
He's on his way back to Vancouver right now.
I'm not a kid anymore, Amy.
All that stuff is uh It's behind me now.
It can't hurt me anymore.
Well, I think this occasion calls for a speech from the future Dr.
Borden.
No! I don't do speeches, guys.
Come on, just a few inspiring words before you embark on the most important academic journey of your life.
Right! No pressure, huh? Come on, Ty.
Okay.
Um First of all, I'd like to say that I can't believe that you guys went to all this trouble just for me.
Um, this is amazing.
I should be the one making dinner for you.
After all, I wouldn't be starting vet school in a few weeks if it wasn't for the people around this table right now.
SoThank you, all of you.
Well, we couldn't be more proud, Ty, and I think that deserves a toast! To kicking butt in vet school! - To kicking butt! Cheers! Okay, everyone dig in.
Don't hesitate to tell me how great everything is.
So this is where you are.
You disappeared after dinner.
Are you all right? Yeah I guess I'm just happy.
Is that why you're crying? I was thinking Ty used to be the boy in the loft, and sometimes I still think of him that way.
But he grew up.
I mean, he is this amazing young man now and He's the kind of man that I always thought I'd spend my life with.
And when he asked me to marry him, I said I wanted to wait, but But? I don't know what I'm waiting for.
