Heartland (CA) s10e04 Episode Script

1 Previuosly on "Heartland" What kind of person would kill one of these just for sport? Dumbass people with too much money.
I called this guy I used to work for.
He works with Veterinarians Without Borders.
This Gobi bear, she's become a top priority for them, especially now.
He says he can send us there in a heartbeat, me and you.
So you could actually go over there and help save their lives? Yeah.
(Brochure rustles) - What's this? - Oh, that's nothing.
Um, have you talked to her about Mongolia yet? No, I haven't talked to her, 'cause I'm not going.
(Insects buzz) Amy: We don't have to do this yet, Grandpa.
We won't even need a new truck for months.
Ty: No, we should go and look.
I'm hearing it from all sides, Amy.
Amy: Don't listen to everyone.
This is your decision.
This is OUR decision.
Jack: Let's just have a look.
It's not gonna hurt anything.
- Amy: Grandpa, you have to stop.
- Jack: Stop what? Amy: You have to stop the truck.
Stop the truck.
(Truck rumbles to a halt, engine idles) (Door opens, Amy blows out her breath) (Breathing heavily) (Exhales sharply) I still feel sick when we drive.
When is that gonna stop? Do you want uh Do you want some candies to suck on or ginger ale? Um Ginger ale would be great.
- Are you okay? - Yup, I'm good.
All good.
(Pop tab snaps) (Exhales forcefully) Ugh Table 4? Burgers? Burgers.
They're not getting any hotter.
Thanks.
Jade: Tim! If you'll just listen to us for one second.
Lou's away, we know you're going crazy, and we can help you.
And you can help us! We wanna make some money and we've got the schedule right here.
We planned it all out.
Yeah, I'm sure you have, but I don't have time to babysit you and teach you the ropes.
I have worked at Maggie's before.
Well, I can't afford what you want.
It's not even minimum wage! You've got rodeo school.
You've got Extreme Team and school.
How're you gonna fit that in? If you'd just look at the schedule, you'll see how it all fits.
I'm not gonna look at your schedule.
I don't have time - to look at your schedule - (Bell dings) Order up! I'm too busy to look at your schedule.
And that's why you need us! We'll make your life easier.
No, you'll make my life harder.
(Cell phone rings, Tim grunts) Oh.
Casey, yeah.
What is it? I mean, hi.
No, no, no, I'm fi What attitude? I Is everything all right? (Truck rumbles) (Engine shuts off) You know, Jack, you really didn't have to come.
(Laughs) Oh yes, I did.
(Doors bang shut) No offence, Ty, but you're a bit green, so promise you'll take my lead on this.
You have to walk away from these guys, no matter what they say.
Woman over PA: Call on line 2.
Line 2.
- You okay? (Phone rings) - Yeah, I'm good.
Bob again? Are you not gonna answer it? - Ah, I'll just call him back.
- Oh, uh, I forgot to tell you.
He came by this morning looking for you.
I Baby brain.
That's okay.
Are you avoiding him? No, I'm not avoiding him.
Ty, I think you are.
It's been days now.
I've just had other things on my mind, that's all.
'Kay.
Salesman: Well, that truck of yours, now there's a relic you don't see on the road very often.
Thinking about upgrading to something new, like maybe a 1990's model? (Chuckles) So what can I show you nice folks? (Plate clanks) There you go.
Hey.
Guys, I-I have to leave.
Something's come up with one of Casey's horses.
I-I'm very sorry.
We can take over for you.
Yeah, then you'll totally see that we can handle it.
Okay.
Only for an hour, and that doesn't mean you're hired.
(Music plays quietly, diners chatter) (Truck rumbles) Salesman: So you're expecting.
Congrats! Well, this is the most reliable truck you could ever want.
Amy: Ty, just stop the truck, please.
Ugh.
I I gotta get out.
(Truck rumbles to a stop, Door clicks open) Ugh! (Unzips cooler) Just breathe, Amy.
Just breathe.
Here, have a sip of this.
(Door shuts, pop tab snaps) Thanks.
Salesman: Lots of space, right? Jack: No more space than any other truck.
Now, that's where you're wrong, sir.
I can show you a comparison sheet.
(Gagging) Uh t-take your time.
No need to hurry back to the truck.
No need to hurry at all.
(Sighs) It's okay.
(Truck rumbles to a stop) (Doors click open) (Doors bang shut) Salesman: Now, this looks like a brand new truck, right? Well, I'm not gonna lie to you, it's not.
It's about a year old, but it's got hardly any mileage on it.
It was a weekend cowboy that owned it that is until the oil slump came along and he had to give up that nice little hobby.
Well, I don't think you're gonna find a better deal.
I promise you.
(Paper rustles) Woman over PA: Tom, you got a call on line 3.
Line 3.
You know, to sweeten the deal, I might be able to give you something for that truck.
Maybe it's a collector's item, right? Not interested.
(Paper rustles) Well, let's see how she runs.
She runs just fine.
Let's go! (Door bangs shut) Thanks for your time.
(Engine stutters and won't start) (Truck rumbles, Cell phone rings) (Snorts) Ty, yeah.
What's up? What do you mean? Yeah, I'm busy.
No.
No, I'm on my way to Casey's.
Wha-What? You gotta be kidding me.
Well where are you? (Truck rumbles by) Ty: We were test-driving a truck just like you said.
Oh, so this is my fault now.
We wouldn't have called you, but these dummies can't find any cables.
What kind of a car lot doesn't have jumper cables?! What're you doing here anyway? I'm the one that knows how to drive a hard bargain.
Oh really? Well, I'm probably the one who taught you.
(Door slams shut) Okay.
You know what? This is why we wanted to do this on our own in the first place.
Okay, fine, so you don't need my help.
It's the blind leading the blind here.
I told you guys, get rid of your trucks.
Trade 'em in! My truck is perfectly all right! Let's see.
(Engine turns) See? Perfectly all right.
And you can put those cables somewhere else.
(Hood bangs shut) Fantastic.
Let's go.
Casey's waiting for me.
I'm gonna be in trouble.
Hey, we better go get this battery checked.
Ugh! I cannot drive around any more.
Dad, can I come with you? Yeah.
You're not gonna throw up in my truck though, right? - Got my ginger ale.
- I'm gonna go with Amy.
(Engine starts, Truck rumbles away) Hey! You forgot to take my card! S10E04 New Horizons And at the break of day you sank into your dream You dreamer Oh, oh, oh, oh You dreamer You dreamer (Truck rumbles to a stop) (Doors bang shut) Tim: Thanks for driving over.
- What took you so long? Mm.
Don't ask.
I'm here.
- You okay? - (Sighs) Not really.
Thanks you, guys.
Tim said you'd take a look at my horse.
- Oh! - Do you mind? Uh, no, we don't mind.
Yeah, it's the first we heard of it.
What seems to be the problem? Uh, he's, uh, just suddenly stopped eating.
It's been three days and he loves his food.
I took him to my vet, but they couldn't find anything wrong with him.
He's just not acting like himself, not by a long shot, and I'm really worried.
Okay, well, we can check him out.
Yeah? Okay.
All right, I'm sorry, I gotta get back to Maggie's.
- You're welcome.
- Thanks, Dad.
Next time you go to buy a truck, take an expert! (Door clicks open) (Cody exhales sharply) Ty: There's nothing visibly wrong, There's no lumps on his neck, no swelling.
Hmm.
I'm gonna have some X-rays done.
I'll help you.
No way, Amy.
You're pregnant.
You can't go anywhere near an X-ray machine.
(Sighs) Right.
I'll call Scott, he'll give me a hand.
My vet did an X-ray, but like I said, he didn't find anything.
Well, it doesn't hurt to double check.
Do you think he can stay here overnight? (Hesitant) Yeah, I guess so.
- Georgie: Awesome.
- Jade: We'll see you soon.
- Man: Uh-huh.
- Georgie: Enjoy.
- Man: Hey, Tim.
- Hi.
(Music plays in diner, diners chatter) Are you impressed? I'm surprised.
Jade: So? Are we hired? No floods, no fires, no poisoned customers that's a good sign.
What we bring to this place is fresh eyes.
You're hired.
But if you screw up in any way you're gone.
(Girls giggle, pleased) - Amy: Safe to come in? - Ty: Yeah, we're all done.
So what's going on? Well, I guess my biggest fear is that Casey's vet missed something.
- Like what? - Scott: Like a tumor.
It's like he can't swallow, and that's probably why he's not eating.
A tumor is the only thing that we can think of that would cause that kind of obstruction.
I sure hope it's not that.
Casey would be devastated.
I know.
Well, let's take those back to the clinic, look at them.
Okay.
I'll follow you.
I'll go through my mom's journals, see if there's anything I can find.
- Okay, thanks, Amy.
- Oh, Ty.
(Phone buzzes and dings) Bob, again.
Are you guys okay? Yeah, yeah.
Maybe you should answer it.
It might be important.
I'll just uh I'll talk to him later.
'Kay.
I'll be back as soon as I can, all right? Hey You're gonna be okay.
Scott: No sign of a tumor.
That's the good news.
But there's obviously something else going on.
(Phone rings) I better get that.
Bob.
How's it going? It's going, brother.
Hey What're you doing here? I told you I made up my mind.
I need to talk to you and you're ignoring my calls.
Look, I got your texts, all right? I know you want me to meet with the Veterinarians Without Borders guy, - but there's no point.
- Yeah, there is.
Look, I just got a call from Gavin.
Another bear was murdered this week.
That's two bears, man.
Two bears in two weeks, and she was pregnant.
(Sighs) Look, I know you said no, but you can't lose perspective.
Gavin's pumped, and we're ideal candidates for this.
We're young, we don't mind long hours, crappy conditions.
He's coming into town tomorrow especially to talk to us.
You can't turn your back on this.
Have you talked to Amy? No, I haven't, 'cause I'm not going.
She needs me here.
So what are you gonna do? Stay home, put in your hours here, and wait for the baby? Yeah.
That's exactly what I'm gonna do.
And I'm gonna buy a new truck and I'm gonna be a responsible father.
Amy deserves that.
- A new truck.
- Yes, a new truck.
If if I can afford it.
And if I can't even afford to buy a new truck, how can I afford to leave this good paying job to head off to Mongolia for months? I need all the money I can get before this baby arrives.
You're going around in circles.
You gotta get it together.
Thanks for that advice, Bob.
Just talk to Amy.
Please? If anyone in this whole world would understand why you need to do this, she would.
(Horse snorts) (Hooves clop) (Keyboard key clacks, horse grunts) (Keyboard key clacks) (Approaching footsteps) Guess what? Tim hired Jade and I to come work at Maggie's! Isn't that great? (Birds chirp outside) Oh, so you know! That's awesome! It was so hard to keep it a secret! When did Ty tell you? When did Ty tell me what? Uh (Duck quacks, birds chirp) Come on, Cody, you've got to eat.
No? We'll try later.
(Gate creaks open, bucket thunks) So the X-rays, they're fine.
There's no tumor, the throat's clear, just like Casey's vet said.
Well, that's good news.
Yeah, it is great news.
Um, how's he doing? Well, much the same.
A little bit more relaxed.
Yeah? Hey, Ty, is there something that you wanna talk to me about? Something to do with Mongolia? (Sighs) Bob didn't call you, did he? No.
Georgie told you.
Yeah, and I'm glad she did.
She filled me in on everything.
Well, I can't go, Amy.
I don't wanna leave you.
I won't leave you.
We should at least talk about this.
We don't need to 'cause it's not happening.
Ty, we promised to tell each other what was on our mind; to not keep secrets from one another.
You can't tell me that you haven't been acting weird the last few days.
Avoiding Bob Of course I'm avoiding Bob.
He wants me to go with him! That's all he'll talk about! And now he's set up a meeting with this Gavin guy from Veterinarians Without Borders.
Look, I can't go, Amy.
It's the last thing I should be doing! Ty, this sounds like an amazing opportunity.
It is, I know.
And they need guys like Bob and I.
Believe me, I would be on a plane like yesterday if I could.
This trophy hunting crap makes me crazy.
If this is something you really wanna do, you should do it! (Laughs) Amy, I can't go! You're pregnant! I'm not gonna leave you here alone.
What kind of guy would do that? I'll be fine.
Amy, we both know things that can happen, things that aren't planned.
I know.
But I've got a lot of people here who can help me out.
If this is something you wanna do, you should do it.
You're saying I should go? You've supported my dreams 100%.
Why wouldn't I do the same for you? (Rooster crows in the distance) (Ty sighs, bedding rustles) Hey.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Look, I know what we said last night, - Ty - But I can't do it, Amy.
Listen, okay? When I first heard about this, honestly, I wanted to do it.
I mean, how could I just stand back and watch something like this happen and not do anything about it? And I appreciate your support, Amy, but I can't leave you.
I don't wanna miss this.
Well okay.
But I don't think you should make the decision that quick.
I think you should, at least, go and meet with that guy.
Who, Gavin? Yeah, just see what he has to say.
It might make the situation a whole lot clearer.
(Sighs) (Harsh whinny) (Hard thud) (Thudding footsteps, forced grunts) (Latch clicks) Amy! Easy now, easy.
Okay This is bad.
(Harsh whinny) - Here you go, sir.
- Thanks.
This is deadly.
If we're gonna be running this place, we need to make it more fun.
We're not actually running it.
Yeah, but we need to make it cool.
A place where our friends wanna hang out.
We need to change the music, give it a vibe.
I don't think Tim's up for a vibe.
Tim wouldn't realize what a vibe was if he felt one.
Remember what he said? Fresh eyes.
Actually, you said that.
And I was right.
(Country music plays, diners chatter) Ugh! Look at all this, stuck in his throat.
There's definitely a blockage.
Casey: Hey! How's my boy doing? (Approaching footsteps) Oh my God.
What's happening? We looked for a tumor in the X-ray.
- A tumor?! - No, there's no tumor! But there's something definitely going on because there was a ton of grass and hay stuck in his throat, literally choking him.
I got most of it out, but he still can't swallow.
Can we do something? We can't have him choke to death.
I promise that won't happen, Casey, okay? I'm gonna give him some antibiotics in case there's a risk of aspiration pneumonia, and I'm gonna make sure his throat is clear.
But right now I need to keep him calm.
C'mon, Casey.
Let's leave him to it.
(Worried sigh) (Cody groans) (Harness jingles, Cody grunts) I can't lose Cody.
That horse has seen me through everything.
I was shy, he was shy.
We gave each other confidence.
Once I started riding him, I became top ranked in the country, in the money at all the big events.
- That's amazing.
- It was.
And he was as excited about it as I was.
He couldn't wait to race.
Only thing we didn't compete in was the Stampede, that was next.
And then I met Hank.
We got married.
I decided to help him follow his dream of running his own rodeos.
So you gave up your dream.
No, I just decided to quit barrel racing, that's all.
(Birds chirp) You never made it to Stampede.
Nope.
Do you have any regrets about giving it up? No not really I guess.
It's a funny thing about regrets.
They just pop into your head after years of not even thinking about it at all.
And those regrets usually just get bigger than they actually were at the start.
It's the one thing Hank and I fought about years later.
(Chuckles softly) It's funny.
(Birds chirp, grass crunches underfoot) (Plastic tubing thunks, Ty grunts) (Inhales and sighs) He's all clear now.
I can see that.
You look exhausted.
(Sighs heavily) Yeah, I am.
Ty, I think we both got cold feet this morning.
If you don't follow your heart, you are gonna regret it, and so will I for holding you back.
We will be fine.
Okay, Amy, can we just drop it, okay? No.
Ty, think about it.
Once this baby is born, you are not gonna be able to go and do stuff like this because then I really won't let you.
So now is the time to do it.
(Chuckles softly) (Sighs heavily) (Birds Chirp) So, Tim, tell everyone how great Jade and I did at Maggie's today.
Well, you didn't screw up.
(Jack chuckles) It was fun.
Yeah, well, we'll see how much fun it is when you do it every day of the week, every week of the summer.
- It'll still be fun.
- Well, we'll see about that.
(Clears throat) So, everyone, um Ty and I have something that we want to tell you.
(Deep breath) Yes.
Um So I've been seriously considering going to Mongolia.
Wow, Ty! You're really doing it! There are these bears, uh, Gobi bears.
Um, I'm gonna sign up with an organization that's working to help save them from extinction.
I'm not too sure exactly how long it'll be Probably just a few months.
This is amazing! It is, except for the fact that these bears are being slaughtered for sport and there'll be none of them left if something isn't done about it.
So Bob and I, we can do something.
We can make a difference.
And it's not just about the bears, actually.
Their nomadic culture is also under threat, so we'd be dealing with herd health and breeding techniques.
So not only would we be helping a nearly extinct animal, but potentially saving people's livelihoods.
- I'm so proud of you! - So am I.
(Clapping) Gobi bears? Mongolia? Have you completely lost your mind? Dad, just listen.
No.
I don't wanna hear anymore about this! What kind of a husband leaves his pregnant wife to run off to some insanely remote country on an idealistic fantasy to "save the Gobi bears"? Give me a break! They're in danger! He's going to save them! Ty should concentrate on what he needs to do around here! Wake up, you two! You're having a child! That's something you should take a whole lot more seriously than the plight of the goddamn Gobi bear! (Irritated huff) And, Amy, you are in no state, obviously, to make a rational decision! What is that supposed to mean? I can't believe this! I mean, now I have two idiot son-in-laws abandoning their wives at the worst possible times.
Okay, everybody, just calm down.
Okay, I'm not abandoning anyone, all right? And you know what? I don't need to take relationship advice from you! My marriage is strong.
Amy and I have talked about this.
I love her and she loves me, and we're gonna make it through this.
Oh, please! I don't even know why I talk to you, because you don't listen to me anyway.
This is the worst decision that you have ever made! I'd damn well re-think it if I were you! Tim Tim! Dad, this is not just Ty's decision, okay? Th (Door opens) This is this is our decision.
(Doors bang shut) (Crickets chirp) (Ty sighs) (Cody grunts restlessly) (Hooves clop restlessly) (Covers shift) (Approaching footsteps, Cody huffs restlessly) Hey, boy.
How're you doing? (Light switch clicks on, crickets chirp outside) Hey, Jack.
Look, I um I'm sure you have an opinion about this decision.
You were pretty quiet at, uh, dinner there.
I'd like to know your thoughts.
(Sighs heavily) (Crickets chirp outside) I get it if you're not happy about me leaving while Amy's pregnant.
That's part of it.
Not all of it.
I can see that this whole thing means an awful lot to you.
It's obvious that you thought about it long and hard.
And I know you and Amy didn't come to this decision lightly, 'cause it wouldn't be like you guys if you did.
I also know that you'll have regrets if you don't go on this this mission.
But you'll have regrets if you do.
You know, it makes me proud that you and Amy are able to share this office.
It's good to share things.
I probably should've shared a lot more with Lyndy.
I was off on the rodeo circuit for months at a time.
I left her on her own, Ty, when she was pregnant, so You wanna talk about regrets? But if I don't do this I know.
You'll never do it.
It's not just that.
I have never felt so (Sighs) I don't know how to say it.
Um I've never felt so compelled, so driven, about anything.
About the bigger picture.
About injustice.
And maybe I don't know - maybe that's why I don't want my child, our child, to grow up in this kind of world.
I need to go there.
I need to help do something about it.
Okay.
I get what you're saying, but the other part is this: for me, it's like having a son go off to war, for all I know about Mongolia.
I promise I'll come back safe, Jack, in one piece.
You can't promise that, and that's what's troubling me.
You know, in the end, it's you and Amy that have to figure this out.
It's not up to me or Tim or anyone else to tell you what you should and shouldn't do.
The decision's yours.
Just make the right one.
Poor Ty.
There was a complete family meltdown last night.
Tim really tore a strip off him.
So just a heads up, our boss is gonna be in a horrible mood this morning, so can we just lay low with our ideas? Um, no.
I think we need to tell Tim that we could give Maggie's a much needed new image.
You don't even know his current state of mind.
We could be completely overstepping our bounds.
Bounds.
Shmounds.
I've been posting and telling all my friends on-line that they need to come spend time at the new hip spot in town.
And, this morning, I woke up with a fabulous idea.
(Sighs heavily) (Footsteps thud, rooster crows, Amy sighs) Did you get any sleep last night? No.
But I finally figured out what's going on.
I kept thinking that I was missing something, so I enlarged the X-ray and had another look.
You see that right there? That's an abscess in his back molar.
Half the tooth has just fallen away, leaving this really jagged edge.
And that's what's caused a massive laceration in his tongue.
(Sighs) Both the abscess and the cut are so far back in his mouth that the initial X-ray missed it.
Poor guy.
Geez, he must be in an incredible amount of pain.
Probably why he can't swallow.
- Or chew.
- So what're you gonna do? Well, the abscessed tooth is pretty loose, so I'm gonna remove it and stitch up his tongue.
(Sighs) (Rock music plays, diners chatter loudly) Sorry.
Word gets around fast, huh? (Loud chatter) Isn't it awesome? (Door opens) Huh.
Man: Aw, forget it, too noisy! (Music blares) (Rock music plays, diners chatter loudly) You're supposed to be working with me, not against me.
I don't get why you're so upset.
The diner has never been a more fun place to be.
My friends love hanging out here now.
Oh yeah! Sure they love hanging out here! What's not to love? They can sit around and talk for hours over a plate of fries and endless soda refills.
And free wifi?! Come on, it costs them next to nothing to be here.
It's costing me everything! I want this place back to normal (Jar clunks) Now! That's that.
No it's not.
(Sighs) We need to show Tim how successful our ideas can be.
We should just quit while we still have jobs.
(Rock music plays, diners chatter loudly) (Bird chirps, Stethoscope clunks) So how did it go? (Gloves snap) Good.
It's gonna take some time for the sedation to wear off, but it went really well.
I removed the abscessed tooth and stitched up his tongue.
I'm so glad you found it.
Yeah, it was easy to miss.
I'm sorry we didn't find it sooner, Casey.
So when can I take him home? Uh, I'd say give him 'til tomorrow.
Um, I wanna make sure everything starts to heal the way it should.
Oh You're gonna be back to your old self in no time, aren't ya? So just call me anytime.
We will.
And don't let Tim get you down.
I mean we all know him.
He gets super stressed out about things and then he sees reason usually.
So don't give up.
Thanks, Casey.
- See ya.
- Bye.
Gavin: It's great that you guys got in touch.
This is a program that depends completely on that kind of passion.
Everyone involved from the assistants, to the interpreters, to the vets - donate their time and skills.
- Mmhmm.
It's the only way we can exist.
I And I totally respect that.
I do have to say though that, um, Amy and I, we're expecting a baby, so - Oh wow! Congratulations! - Thanks.
Thank you.
It begs the question, if Amy were to need me, or if there were any complications There won't be.
- But if there were - You'll be on the next flight home.
I promise you.
Bob: Well, sounds fair, right, man? (Birds chirp) - Yeah, it does.
- Well, come on, let's sign up! There's one more thing I gotta do and then I'll get right back to you.
(Clipboard clunks) Mongolia.
Wow! (Cat meows) Yeah.
Look, Scott.
This is something that I really wanna do, It'll only be for a few months, and I fully intend to come back and take my position at the clinic, if you agree, of course.
I understand.
This is a passion project for you.
And I'm sorry I-I never got to do something like this myself.
I I don't know what to say.
Are you okay with all of this? I mean Yeah.
This is the one time that Ty's gonna be able to do something like this.
I'm fine with it.
Okay.
I'm probably gonna regret this, but I think the benefits from this trip will make you a better vet.
So your job and your partnership will be here waiting for you when you get back.
(Hands clap) - Thanks, Scott.
- Of course.
(Truck rumbles) Ty: I'm still worried about your dad and Jack.
Amy: I think we have to ignore all the outside noise from my family.
(Truck accelerates) Ty, stop the truck.
Okay, hold on.
Just a sec.
(Truck rumbles to a halt) (Doors open) (Door bangs shut) (Gravel crunches underfoot) - Here.
- I don't need it.
I'm not the least bit nauseous.
(Kissing) I just wanted to kiss you and I couldn't do that while we were in the truck in case you drove off the road.
(Chuckling) We both know that we have precious cargo on board.
Ty, I am so proud of you.
You're gonna do an amazing job.
(Kissing) So it's only for a few months.
Bob and I are exactly the type of guys that they need right now.
And I believe that if no one steps up to these situations that Tim: The world as we know it will fall apart.
This is a great opportunity to do something.
Dad, if he doesn't do this, he'll regret it, just like Casey does.
What? What about Casey? She never told you? She gave up her rodeo career.
She used to be one of the top barrel racers in the country.
She quit 'cause she got tired of it.
No.
I think you should probably ask her why she gave it up.
She still wishes she hadn't.
And I'm not gonna be the one to stand in Ty's way.
Grandpa, you should understand that.
Grandma Lyndy wasn't one to bubble wrap herself.
I mean, she enjoyed her freedom when you were on the circuit.
That is not true.
She was miserable when I was away.
Yeah, so miserable that she toured and wrote songs and recorded them? Yes, okay, she did do that.
(Chuckles) Well, it's funny that you say that because Lyndy wrote a song when she was pregnant with your mom and it was such a beautiful song.
I wanted to give it to you, but I couldn't find it.
I know exactly where it is.
(Chuckles) This one? You used to play this for me all the time when I was a kid.
Yeah, see, there it is.
"When to Let Go.
" Th-that's the song.
(Chuckles) Yeah, one of the prettiest songs she ever wrote.
Except she wasn't exactly sitting around, waiting for you to come home from the circuit.
She was probably happy to have her freedom.
(Chuckling) Yeah, you're probably right.
I was a pain in the butt when I wasn't on the road.
I really want Ty to do this.
I know you two will look after her while I'm gone.
(Cell phone buzzes) What's this about? Open Mic Night tonight, at Maggie's.
I'm gonna kill those kids.
Singer: Already had complete control But you were something of When this is done, you can both go look for jobs.
(Sighs) Come on, Tim, this is a good idea.
And it's not just kids drinking refills of soda.
We've built on the clientele.
Look, even all the oldies are back.
And look how much money we're making.
Don't be such a stick in the mud.
Admit it, this is a lot of fun.
(Coins clink) Singer: Took a whole lot of rolling back up that hill To find you a way back to me Okay, I'll make you a deal.
I want this place operating as usual, and then you can run your little open Mic thing on the weekends, every other week.
- Every week.
- Don't push it.
(Singer strums last chords) (Patrons clap and cheer) Thank you, thank you.
Amy, you should go sing.
Yeah, do it! Georgie: Come on! Okay.
Only if Grandpa comes with me.
Excuse me, do you think I could borrow your guitar? - Sure.
- Thank you.
- Man: Oh, here we go! - Man 2: All right, Amy! (Patrons chatter) Singer: Thank you.
Okay.
This is a song that my Grandma Lyndy wrote when she was pregnant with my mom.
Patrons: Aww - It's called "When to Let Go".
(Jack plays guitar) Amy: Seasons turn, winter's gone The rain can finally fall Springtime's got it all It brings a new song everyday The cow jumped over the moon But I have the sliver spoon I dream of holding you one day But I can hear my mama say Jack and Amy: Love that child with all of your soul But there's one hard thing that you need to know If you really want your love to show Know when to hold on And when to let go (Guitar plays) (Jack strums final chord) So remember soft foods for the next two weeks.
And keep him on those anti inflammatories as well.
He's gonna be just fine.
(Truck rumbles to a stop) I can't think you guys enough.
(Door bangs shut) Hey! Okay, your son-in-law is amazing! He found something that my vet totally missed.
And if it hadn't been for him, my beautiful boy wouldn't have stood a chance.
Yeah, yeah, he really knows what he's doing.
Usually.
(Receding footsteps) I hear you miss barrel racing.
(Taken aback, laughs) It's nothing.
- Take it up again.
- No I'm out of practice.
- It's never too late.
- I'm too old for that.
No you're not.
You can do it.
Just try it.
I promise I won't stand in your way.
I'm glad you said that.
(Kissing) (Elk grunts) Bob: So I checked up on our guy this morning.
He's totally ready to go.
He wants to go! - Let's do it! - Right on! Hey, wrapping up loose ends, before the big trek, right? You know it, man! (Fists thud, Giddy laughter) How old are you guys? (Pen door latch clicks) Bob: My friend, you ready to taste some freedom? (Clucks his tongue) Ty: Come on, buddy.
Bob: (Clucks tongue) (Elk grunts) Ty: There you go! Bob: (Whistling) (Grass crunches under hooves) Thanks.
(Grass crunches under hooves) (Birds chirp) (Door clinks) (Light kiss) (Birds chirp, Amy sighs) (Bird chirps) (Case rattles, trunk bangs shut) Promise me you'll do a blog with lots of photos! I wanna know everything you're doing.
Every detail! If there's a chance for me to come and help out I'll-I'll quit school immediately.
Well, thanks, Georgie, but I think Amy needs you here more.
I'll miss you.
I'm gonna miss you too.
Come here.
Bye.
You know, I could've driven you to the airport.
(Hands clap) I know, Jack, but I kinda wanted to say my goodbyes here.
Yeah, I get that.
So uh you be safe.
I will.
Okay.
(Hard pats) Thanks for understanding, Tim.
I don't.
Just take care of yourself, huh? Amy needs you.
We need you.
(Light pat) You call me as soon as you get on the plane.
I will.
And when you get to Beijing.
Absolutely.
And I promise, I'll be back at a moments notice, if anything happens.
We'll be fine.
Take care of the nugget, okay? I will.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
