Heartland (CA) s08e05 Episode Script

Previously on "Heartland" Well, at least we saved one of them.
Hey! Where do you get off telling her that you love her! Of course I love her.
All you do is hold her back.
I think we need a break.
No, Ty, I mean I love you so much! Hey, Caleb.
Yeah, I'm here why? Well, I didn't wanna just barge in, in case you weren't alone.
Why wouldn't I be? It's just as easy to make up as it is to break up.
It's not a break up, okay? It's a break.
We're taking a break.
Well, whatever you choose to call it, I respect your decision.
Just, uh, here to check up on ya.
See how other things are going.
Well, I appreciate it, but I actually have to get going because I'm gonna be late for work.
Well, it's good you got so much work.
It helps keep your mind off the decision.
It's all good, Caleb.
Stay, finish your coffee.
- Ty! - Hey! What're you doing here? Well, I was on a trail ride and I thought I'd stop by.
Bad timing.
I'm just on my way to the reserve for an early shift.
Oh, I can't stop thinking about that poor momma wolf.
I mean, how's the baby doing? Not good.
He needs a lot of care.
Well, maybe I could come with you and help out sometime.
Yeah, sure.
Not today, but another time.
Ty I mean even though you and Amy are We're still good, right? Yeah.
Why wouldn't we be? Nothing's changed.
Everything's changed.
Geez, what'd the window ever do to you? Jade? What are you doing here? Well, Jack said I should come talk to you.
Oh, yeah, right.
He He mentioned you might be looking for a job.
Yeah, I just got my license and I'll never be able to afford my own car with my pathetic allowance.
So do you have any experience in the hospitality industry? Why would I? Because you're asking me for a job.
Well, do you need my help or not? Okay.
Let's see how you do washing windows.
Wait.
You want me to start like now? All four.
Here.
Is that for me? Thank you, sweetheart.
You're welcome, GG.
Well, you know, I would like to send this to Lisa 'cause she's in France right now and feeling real homesick, and I bet this would cheer her up.
Where'd you get off to this morning? Uh, nowhere.
This is Amy's phone, right? Well, it doesn't matter 'cause it's not yours to answer.
What if it's from Ty? Well, he'll call back.
But what if it goes to voice-mail and then he thinks she's ignoring him on purpose? What if Amy left her phone here on purpose? Thank you.
Hello? Is it Ty? Sandra, hold on.
Wait.
What's wrong? What is it? That's Flirty and Disco.
I made this video for my website.
Wow! They are amazing together.
So how long have you been doing liberty work? For a while now.
We even booked the halftime show at the Longview rodeo.
But now that Disco's injured, I might have to cancel.
What did the vet say? Torn suspensory ligament.
At least six months off work.
Maybe longer.
That's rough.
You know how long it takes to train a liberty horse.
I've probably spent more time with Disco than I have with my husband.
So? What can I do? The impossible.
That's why I'm here.
S08E05 Endings and Beginnings You know, he really is a good looking horse.
Hustle? Yeah, I picked him up at an auction last winter.
He's really smart.
Have you started working with him? We've tried, but he didn't respond to me too well.
And Longview's in three weeks, so good luck.
Well, no promises, but I'll do my best.
That's all I'm asking.
Poor Flirty.
His heart is broken.
It's as bad as the worst break-up.
Disco and Flirty didn't just perform together, they were inseparable.
Poor boy.
It's rough, but life goes on.
How's the pup? Actually, he's not doing too good.
Yeah, orphan pups rarely do.
He'd feed 24/7 if he could.
Yeah.
Total time suck.
You know what this guy needs is a surrogate.
Or somebody to look after him, but it's a full-time job.
Well, any chance you can pull some extra hours this week? Any chance there's a dollar amount attached to that offer? Just think of the extra experience as money in the bank.
- Jade? - Hey, kid.
What're you doing here? I'm working for Lou, at the Dude Ranch.
I'm trying to make some money so I can get my own car.
Apparently if you don't have wheels around here, you have no social life.
You have no idea how tough it is being the new kid at school.
Oh, wait.
You probably do.
But in high school it's way worse 'cause everybody has their own little cliques already.
Well, maybe you just need to try harder to make new friends? Like what, throw my own party? Yeah, right.
My mom would be all like, "hey, it's so great to meet some of Jade's new friends, who's up for some pop and chips?" I'd look like a total loser.
At least people would know who you are.
Good boy.
Here Good boy.
He's doing pretty good.
He seems fine on his own.
Whoa Let's see how he does with his new partner.
All right.
Okay, Hustle.
Now, you two can learn to be buddies, all right? Uh or not.
Well, I knew it would take some time.
But I thought you said you didn't have time.
I don't.
Let's try it again.
Good boy.
Come on, Flirty! No You're supposed to work together.
You expecting someone? That looks like Jesse Stanton's truck.
Just what I need right now.
You wanna take him? - Here, yeah.
- Thanks.
Hey there.
I was in the area so I thought I'd stop by and say hi to my favourite horse whisperer.
My answer's still no, Jesse.
What do you mean? I'm not gonna work at Briar Ridge.
Oh, yeah.
You, uh, you made that quite clear.
So I found myself another trainer and she is amazing.
So you came all the way out here to tell me that? Well, I thought I owed you fair warning.
You're not the only game in town any more.
You know, working with horses is not a competition, Jesse.
Everything in life's a competition.
But I prefer to keep it friendly, so best of luck to you.
So who is this other horse trainer? I don't know, and I don't really care, to be honest.
You sure sound like you do.
Are you sure you're not having second thoughts about turning down Jesse's offer? I just don't like how smug he was about the whole thing.
Hey! Ty.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Is, uh, is Georgie around here or? Uh Yeah, she is.
Georgie? Ty! Hey.
You said you wanted to help, right? - Uh-huh.
- 'Kay.
Oh, Ty, are you kidding? Oh, but he's adorable.
Hello! Oh my goodness, aren't you so cute?! Lou's right; He needs a lot of care to build up his strength.
We just we don't have the manpower right now.
I don't know, Ty.
I mean he's a big responsibility.
Come on, Lou.
Look at him.
You can't say no to that face.
You're right, I can't.
What's the drill, Ty? Keep him warm.
Feed him as much and as often as he'll take.
Okay.
I can do that.
I know you can, Georgie, but here's the hard part.
He's a wolf, all right? And I know that human contact might seem like a good idea in the short term.
You can't let him imprint on you, all right? The goal is to return him to the wild.
All right.
I get it.
Feed him, keep him warm, and don't get too involved.
I'm serious, okay? You have any problems, you give me a call.
Okay.
Will do.
One last thing.
He sleeps in his cage.
Wake up, sleepyhead! It's a puppy! Perfect.
No, Katie, not a puppy.
He was in his crate most of the night, but then he started to cry.
And what about what Ty said about imprinting and reintegration back into the wild? - Aw-oaf! - Uh, Katie, don't touch the puppy.
Wolf.
I know he said that, but he also said to keep him warm and feed him all the time.
He's so cute! Come on He doesn't even have a real mom.
I'm all he's got.
What about not getting too attached? I'm not! But, Lou, he's just a puppy.
A wolf puppy.
- No, no, no, no - And from now on, this little guy is going to be an outdoor wolf.
don't look at me like that.
You either.
Damn poachers.
This is incredible.
It looks like a healthy female, too.
What a waste.
So what do we do? That's the unbelievable part.
There's nothing we can do.
Poaching is a sad reality, man.
Well, it may be a reality, but we gotta do something.
We could call the police.
Like how many times have I tried that before? But what are they gonna do? Investigate.
Look, there's no nock on the arrow.
A crossbow killed her.
Check this out, there's a cut in her abdomen.
It looks like a surgical incision.
Well, there's your story right there.
They removed her gall bladder.
What for? Bear bile is worth its weight in gold.
They use it in traditional Chinese medicine.
Wait.
How is that legal? Well, it isn't.
But it makes big money through international smuggling.
To them, life's cheap, Ty.
Come on, let's move.
We gotta bury her.
That's it, here we go.
Okay, I'm gonna try something simple.
I want them to change direction in the circle.
Keep moving That's right.
Good! Settle Settle.
It's okay.
Hey, hey.
You're all right.
Hustle! Easy.
Whoa Come on, boy.
Well, hello, Sandra! How's it going? Not great.
Hustle was game, but now even he's not cooperating.
Yeah, Amy tells me you're dealing with an injured horse.
Yeah.
He'll be out of commission for months.
Sorry to hear it.
Looks like that guy might be missing his significant other.
I can relate.
Lisa's out of town again.
Oh yeah, I heard you got married! Congratulations! Why thank you very much.
Grandpa, I'm trying work these horses and you are not helping.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.
No, that's all right.
I'll leave you two to get at it.
You know what, Sandra? I I think, clearly, I need a break.
Let's just let these guys have a moment.
For sure.
Whatever you think is best.
Actually, what I think is best is just to call it a day.
Don't we wanna end on a positive note? Yeah, but I also don't wanna push it.
Look.
Amy, either they're gonna gel as a pair or they won't.
I'd rather know sooner than later.
They may not be working perfectly together, but they're getting along a lot better than yesterday.
Really? What's this bite on his back? Yeah, Flirty nipped at Hustle, but I'm trying, I really am.
I'm sorry, grandpa.
Not one of my better days.
There's always tomorrow.
Oh, something to look forward to.
That's why you might wanna tell Sandra what's going on with you.
- What's going on with me? - Mm-hmm.
Do you mean with Ty? Grandpa, Sandra is a client, okay? I'm not gonna share my personal issues with a cl She's also your friend.
Well, you don't have to go into detail, but that gray horse out there, that's not the only one who's got a partner that's suddenly gone missing.
Yeah, bear bile's used to Fever, diabetes, heart disease.
A single gall bladder can fetch anywhere from three to ten thousand dollars.
Ten thousand dollars for a gallbladder.
Yeah.
We are definitely in the wrong business.
Hello.
Hey, Georgie.
Well, slow down a second.
What? What's wrong with him? Okay.
I'll be right there.
Okay.
That was, uh, Georgie.
She's the girl who's looking after the wolf pup.
She's having a little problem with him.
I should just probably go check up on her.
All right.
Yeah, you can take off.
I can handle this myself.
- You're sure? - Oh yeah.
Absolutely.
Thanks, man.
All right, I'll be back in a bit.
Yup.
I got your message.
What's up? Just after this morning, I figured we needed to talk.
Okay It's just Look, I'm going through some personal issues.
It's no big deal, but I feel like the horses may have picked up on my mood and that's why the work's not going as well as I'd hoped.
Okay.
Nothing serious, I hope.
No.
I'll pull through, I'm sure.
It's just I might need a little more time than I have and I know you need them right away.
But I hear there's this new trainer at Briar Ridge.
- Oh, I know all about her.
- You do? Jesse Stanton's been calling the past couple of days.
I keep telling him I'm sticking with you.
I do appreciate it, but under the circumstances, maybe you should give her a try.
You sure? Yeah.
Yeah, you know what? I'll haul your horses over there and that'll give me a chance to talk with her and let her know how it's going.
All right, if you think that's best.
Thanks.
So these are my new clients.
Meet Flirty and Hustle.
I just thought I'd come by and talk to your new trainer - and fill them in on my progress.
- Oh, she is amazing.
She'll take one look and figure them out.
She's known, like, all over the world.
Wow! You were able to get someone that good to work for you? Well, I uh I couldn't convince you.
So you're saying I was your second choice? We, uh We go way back, so I had to give her first crack, as a courtesy.
Allow me to introduce Tate Evans.
Tate, this is Amy I know who Amy Fleming is.
She's the "Miracle Girl.
" Jesse here was explaining that you have quite the background in liberty work.
Yeah, I was a trainer at a travelling horse show "Cheval Fantastique.
" Yeah, I know them.
They're incredible.
They do amazing work with horses! I just got back from our European tour.
Oh.
Amy just got back from Europe as well, on the show-jumping circuit.
Yeah, so anyway, I thought I would come by and show you the progress on these two.
No need for that.
Sandra's coming by soon.
I'd prefer to deal directly with our client.
So when did he stop drinking his formula? About an hour ago.
Well, maybe he's just not hungry.
Well, you said to call if there was anything wrong.
Yeah.
But maybe he just needs some more time to settle in.
You gotta wait and see.
Well, it's just I know him, Ty, okay? Ever since Lou banned him from the house, poor fang has been crying nonstop.
Fang? That's his name.
Well, he's not dehydrated.
Maybe he's ready for some solid food.
Well, what do they eat? In the wild, his mom would digest their food and then regurgitate it up into her mouth, - and then the pups would lick it up.
- Gross! Well, that's nature for you.
You know, maybe you could liquefy some raw meat in a blender and try feeding it to him.
Well, not with my mouth, right? You can use a spoon.
You know, Lou is making meatloaf for supper, if you want to stay.
That sounds good, but I'm gonna have to pass.
Hey! How's the wolf pup? So far, so good.
How's work? It's interesting.
You? It's-it's good.
Yeah, it's great.
Well, I'll see ya.
What? It's not like he came to see me.
Jade?! Jade?! Jade! Jade! Jade! Dude! You didn't have to yell in my ear.
Apparently I did.
What do you think you're doing? I was just resting my eyes.
I mowed the lawn like you said.
You mowed half the lawn.
Badly.
Now get back out there and finish it.
Chill out, Lou.
Geez, I thought you'd be a cool boss.
And I thought you wanted a job.
Nobody wants a job.
I need a job.
Okay, well then you better start taking this seriously.
Yes, ma'am.
Jade, come back here and remake this bed! What'd you find here, Sherlock? Trail of blood.
It ends right here.
See? There's more right there.
So she must've run off to where we found her 'cause there's more there and more right there.
So the bear must have been shot right around here.
That camera, that a part of your security? Nope.
Never seen it before.
Well, someone put it there for a reason.
Along with that.
Look, Ty, come on.
Leave it, all right? Let's go.
You said yourself the poaching's been going on - for a while.
- Yeah.
Well that's how they get them here, and that's how they know when they're coming.
I'm gonna take a look at their pictures.
Knock yourself out, but I'm telling you, man, these poachers aren't just a bunch of yahoos shooting deer out of season.
Yeah, I get it, man, but don't you want to stop this? Yeah, I do, but what I really want is to go home after work in one piece, okay? And so should you.
Hold on, Sandra.
Look I wasn't getting anywhere either.
Well, I couldn't connect.
No, I'm sorry, I can't hehelp you.
Bye.
Sandra's not happy with Jesse's new trainer and she wants me to give it another try.
So why don't you? Because I already failed once.
Amy.
Thank you.
I can't stand seeing her like this.
Since when has she ever given up on a horse? Thank you.
It is all about her and Ty, and we have to do something about it.
- We do? - Yes! Grandpa, this is important.
I mean I thought about talking to Ty myself, but what would I say? I Well, what can anybody say about another person's relationship? Not just anybody.
You.
You, grandpa.
You have that thing with Ty.
You have that bonding relationship.
You could talk to him and make him understand that whatever happened with Ahmed He's overreacting.
They'll sort things out one way or another.
But what if it's the wrong way? Oh, Jade, can you answer that please? Hello.
Yeah, this is the Heartland Equestrian Connection.
This is Jade.
Cancellation? You do know it's kind of late for that, huh? I mean, there's no way you're getting your deposit back.
Jade! Well, maybe you should've read the reservation agreement.
Ja- You hung up? Listen, you cannot talk to customers like that, okay? We rely on repeat business and word of mouth.
Well, you also rely on people paying you, don't you? I mean Now you just have three cabins sitting there empty.
But at least I get to call it a day, right? Yeah, nice try.
With no guests, that makes it the perfect day for a floor to ceiling cleaning.
Hello.
Hey, Jack.
What's going on? Well, I was just passing by and I figured that you gotta know how to brew a half-decent cup of coffee by now.
Come on in.
I'll grab you a cup.
Take a seat.
Well, what do you got going here? Just some images off a surveillance camera.
The resolution sucks though.
So why are you really here? Oh, because of you.
Because you're not just a guy who was gonna marry my granddaughter.
Because you're family, and it's been that way from day one.
For me too, Jack.
Well I didn't wanna get involved.
But you and Amy, regardless of your issues, I bet you still love her and she's still wearing your ring.
Of course I still love her.
Love is not the problem.
Well, if it's got anything to do with that prince fella No, it has nothing to do with him.
It has something to do with what he said though.
He said, I'm the one who holds her back, who prevents her from having a future.
I don't wanna be that guy, Jack.
He's right; Amy has huge potential, huge.
She could do anything, go anywhere.
She could travel the world if she wants to.
That's her decision to make.
I would rather lose Amy than be the guy who stands in her way.
Amy! Sorry, I just need to speak with you one more time.
- Sandra - No, listen.
I've seen you working with my horses, I know what you can do.
But Jesse's trainer, Tate, none of what she's does makes any sense to me.
She started by lunging them on the line separately.
Then she had them stand side by side for ages, smacking them with the whip if they did the slightest aggressive move.
Have you tried talking to her? I don't find Tate very approachable.
Well, then, maybe you should be telling this to Jesse? Jesse Stanton is a businessman whose commodity just happens to be horses.
Look, I don't know what's going on with you, but quitting isn't something that women like us do.
A horse gets injured, we do everything we can to get it back up on its feet.
- We lose somebody we love - Okay, Sandra No, you know what I've been through, Amy.
You helped me pull my life back together.
All I'm asking for is an hour or two of your time.
Get! Get! Get! I'm glad the training is going well See what she's doing? Yeah, she's trying to control them.
So the relationship is horse to trainer, not horse to horse.
You see how she's using the whip as a weapon? It-it should just be an extension of your arm to encourage the horse forward.
Hey-ah! Get! Good to see you, Sandra.
I see you brought your friend.
You know I wasn't convinced about your new trainer, Jesse.
I just wanted a second opinion.
Amy's tried working with these horses and she couldn't get anywhere with them.
But sure, let's hear what the Miracle Girl has to say.
Sandra can't do her act if she's trying to control two horses separately.
Okay, they have to learn to work together, to follow each others' cues, and Tate is not creating that bond, which is what she needs to accomplish.
Okay, so what would you do differently this time? Well I'd turn them out in a field together.
I'd let them bond and get to know each other, and then I'd sit and watch their cues and use that to be their leader, not their trainer, not their boss.
Canter! Move up! Hey, Georgie, what's up? He ate a what? Those squeaky toys are for dogs, Georgie.
Remember what I told you? The wolf is not a pet.
Okay.
I'll come by later.
My shift's almost done.
Okay.
Sounds like you should take off now, man.
You know, maybe giving that pup to that kid might not have been the best idea.
What're you talking about? Your judgment.
No, I like you, Ty.
You got a good heart.
It's maybe too good to make the compromises you gotta make in this job.
There's a wolf sanctuary near Waterton.
I'm gonna make some calls.
Jesse, why are you following me? I realized you were right, so I let Tate go.
- Really? - Yeah, and now I have no one to work with Sandra's horses.
Well, then hire someone else 'cause you're gonna have to anyway.
Hey, I fired Tate on your recommendation.
Obviously, I want you to work with them.
- You are unbelievable.
- I'm doing you a favour.
Sandra's your friend.
You already failed her once.
If you don't finish what you started those horses are gonna end up standing in a field a long way from the Longview Halftime Show.
I'm just telling it like it is.
Suit yourself.
Fine.
Fine! Good.
But even though she's your friend, she's still my client, Amy.
So you're working on my turf.
See you bright and early at Briar Ridge.
Good boy.
Okay, come on.
So he ate a toy? Well, he was playing, and he only ate part of it and then he spat it up.
Georgie, he's a wolf, he's not supposed to be playing with toys.
I know, but I love him and I want him to be happy.
Look, Georgie, you've done a great job with this little guy so far, but you've gotten too close to him, and I warned you about that, right? That's why, when he has to leave, it's gonna be harder on the both of you.
What do you mean, when he has to leave? Okay, so it's all set for tonight.
I invited a bunch of people.
Seriously, Beth, it's totally empty.
No one will know.
Okay, I'll text you when my boss leaves.
And invite everyone you know.
Okay, so you don't know so many people.
Just invite people who do know people.
And by the way, my mom thinks I'm staying at your house tonight, so cover for me, okay? Okay.
Yeah.
Jade? Are you, um, making personal calls during business hours? Are you spying on me? No, but maybe I should be, and You dropped this.
So next time just use a linen bag, okay? Otherwise you're gonna leave a trail of dirty laundry all the way to the car.
Linen bag.
Got it.
Who's this? Can I help you? What? Turn down the music, please.
Can I help you? We're looking for the Uh highway.
- The highway? - Yeah.
The highway is back the way you came.
Right uh, thanks.
What was that about? I dunno.
Here you go, buddy.
It's not exactly what your mom would do, but it's close enough.
How's he doing? Okay.
He likes the meatloaf.
And how are you doing? Are you okay? I guess.
It's just I can't keep the wolf.
Ty thinks I'm making too much of an imprint with him, so he's found a wolf sanctuary that'll take him.
Maybe that's for the best.
I'm sure he was a lot of work.
Well, kinda, but all those problems, I made them up.
Why? To give Ty a reason.
A reason to come here? Yeah, and maybe you guys would Oh, Georgie Well, what happened, it's all my fault.
No.
It is not your fault.
This is my fault, and I'm the only one who can fix it.
So, Jade, is she working out any better? Absolutely, yeah.
You know, other than the fact that she's careless, lazy, unmotivated and frankly, the worst employee I have ever had.
That good, huh? Well, on the bright side, she's learning.
Slowly.
Well, see? It's not all bad.
No, but I have to keep an eye on her 24/7.
I mean, she's not exactly reliable.
Well, give her a couple more days.
You never know, she might surprise you.
Or she might burn down the place.
Why do you always assume the worst? You can trust people Oh, I do trust people.
Just not Jade.
Well, at least give her a chance to prove you wrong.
Awesome! Let's make this fire enormous! Oh, Vince is here! He almost ruined it earlier! Vince?! You and your loser friends almost screwed everything up.
Whatever.
I totally covered.
You nearly blew the whole thing.
Relax, all right? We bought a keg.
Okay, you're forgiven.
Guys, they've brought a keg! Everybody grab a beer! And somebody do something with this fire, man.
It's puny! Hi.
I'm Jade.
One, two, three! All right, who cares?! Guys, um, beer! Like let's get this started.
Hello? Caleb, is that you? Who is it? Ty borden?! Hey! If you keep sticking your nose where it don't belong, you're a dead man! Ungh! Ungh! Ungh All right, go be free.
You wanna join him? All right.
Hey, Georgie.
Yeah, well, um how about you take that little guy out to the reserve today? Yeah, you can ask Jack for a ride.
Well, I'm-I'm just not really feeling up to it.
Yeah, I'd come out to Heartland, but not today.
Okay, thanks.
The camera.
Wait up! What the? Beat it! Jade?! Uh, Lou? Um, okay I know this looks bad- This looks more than bad! Okay, I'm really sorry.
It was only supposed to be a few friends, but then it got tweeted out to a bunch of people I've never even met! Tweeted out?! Jade! This is a serious breach of trust.
I know.
I'm fired.
No, no, no, no.
You're not fired.
You are gonna clean up this place until it looks brand new! And then you're fired.
Good boy.
Hey.
Good boy.
Good boy.
Come on, now, you knew this day was coming.
I guess.
It's because you did such a good job taking care of this guy that Ty says he's healthy enough to go to a wolf sanctuary at all.
- I'm gonna miss him so much.
- Well, you can visit.
It's just-it's not gonna be the same as seeing him everyday.
Yeah, I don't think we're talking about the wolf anymore.
The thing is, Georgie, I don't know what's gonna happen in the future, but Ty, he's family and we will always look out for him.
On the phone, he said he wasn't coming to Heartland.
What do you think that meant? I don't know.
He's probably never coming back here.
Why would he, if him and Amy aren't even talking? Well, I think they're finally ready.
Oh, I don't how you did it, but you did.
