AMY: Previously on "Heartland":
- Are you going to the wedding?
- If you're going, I'll go.
Do you see my sister over there?
Do you think you could dance with her?
- Sir, you're bleeding!
- That's my wife's blood!
No, you've been shot!
DOCTOR: Your husband
developed a condition
known as deep vein
thrombosis. We lost him.
I love you, Ty.

Wow, your friends from New
York are awfully generous.
- Look at all this stuff!
- I know.
I'm surprised you even told
them there was a wedding.
Well, I didn't.
- Caleb posted it on social media
- (TIM CHUCKLES)
and so, now, everybody
knows, the whole world,
that our non-wedding
was actually a wedding.
(CLUCKS TONGUE) Well,
there truly is no
privacy anymore, is there?
No.
It never ceases to amaze
me what people post.
So there's this new guest
at the dude ranch today,
and she calls herself a "Birdfluencer."
- (SCOFFS)
- Right? I know.
But she's actually a
pretty good photographer,
and she has 20,000 followers.
Well, 20,000 and one, now.
No, I'm just doing research.
So Lou asked me if I
would fill in for her
when she's away at that conference.
I hope you didn't feel obligated.
No, of course not.
It was a little last minute, so
I was momentarily annoyed, but
I've realized ever
since the cattle drive
that I need to make more
of an effort with Lou.
I wanna stay on her good side.
Well, I've been doing that
since she was born. (LAUGHS)
All right, I guess I
should go over there and
- make sure everything's ready.
- No!
- Wish me luck.
- You don't need it.
You're the most overqualified
Dude Ranch Manager of all time.
- You got this.
- Thank you!
You're sure the guy you saw was Grady?
Yeah, I am.
Why isn't he locked up
somewhere with his pal,
- J.D. Werth?
- I don't know.
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
So, what do you wanna do?
- For now, nothing.
- (SCREEN DOOR OPENS)
- I'm ready!
- (SIGHS)
Okay, sweetheart. Let's
go get Harley tacked up.
(FOOTSTEPS RECEDE)

(DOOR OPENS)
Hey, you two!
Thank you for your hard work
in cleaning up the dude ranch;
- it looks great over there.
- Thanks!
The welcome refreshments
are pretty much good to go.
All right! You are both amazing.
I'm glad you think so,
but frankly, our talents are
being wasted on menial labour,
not to mention the pay
is pathetically low.
I think a 20% increase in
our wages would only be fair.
Uh okay, well, that's
not really my department.
I'm just filling in for Lou,
so you're gonna have to
ask her when she gets back.
Um, where does your mom
keep the extra linens?
- Uh, just down the hall.
- Okay. All right.
I'll be right back.
You know my mom's in charge, right?
There's no point asking
Jessica for a raise.
I know, but I'm just sick and tired
of being taken for granted all the time.
I'm taking a break.
She was just starting to get
her bearings, and now this.
Yeah. Yeah, the timing
couldn't be worse.
- How is she?
- I don't know.
Numb, more than anything.
Hey, uh, what're you doin'?!
I'm gonna make sure Amy never
runs into Grady ever again.
Hey, just hold up now!
You need to take a breath
and think about this
before you do something
you're gonna regret!
I can't sit around doing nothin', Jack.

JESSICA: Hi, welcome to Heartland.
- I'm Jessica.
- Hi, I'm Rick.
I work with Lou at the Mayor's Office.
Ah, yes, of course. I've
heard so much about you.
And this is my mother, Gladys.
I was just looking at your
bird photography online.
- It is beautiful.
- That's kind of you to say.
Richard, do you really
expect me to stay here?
Just give it a chance, Mother.
Jessica, what do you think of a son
who let his mother stay
with him at his home?
It's not enough that I endured
twelve hours of labour
bringing him into this world,
but I've also flown all the way
across the pond just to see him.
It's just for a few days, until
the house renos are finished.
As I recall, you were doing house
renos the last time I visited.
You made me stay at that dreary motel.
It was literally the most
expensive hotel in Banff.
And wasn't Carl away on
a business trip then, too?
Carl's work is very time-consuming.
- But he does wish
- Don't
(BIRDSONG)
If I'm not mistaken
- (BIRDSONG)
- that is a pine grosbeak.
You may as well go,
Richard. I'll be fine here.
At least the birds won't abandon me.
(BIRDS CHIRP)
Your mom seems really nice.
She's, uh, terrifying.
I love her, but there's
only so much I can take.
The timing of our house
renos was no accident,
nor was my husband's business trip.
Well, uh thanks so much,
Jessica, for looking after her,
and good luck.

(CAR DOORS SLAM)
There's my swing!

Gladys?
So, in the morning, I will stop by
with an organic,
locally-sourced breakfast.
We offer trail rides, if
you'd like to book one,
and we also have an art
market on the weekend,
if that's something that
you're interested in.
The only reason I agreed to stay here
was because Lou promised me
a sighting of a mountain bluebird.
My followers are very
eager to see the photos,
and I simply cannot disappoint them.
Ornithologists can be
a rather fickle bunch.
- Yeah, I can imagine.
(INHALES SHARPLY)
Well, uh, some of the
most beautiful photographs
that I have ever taken
have been on a trail ride.
Maybe you might wanna
consider combining the two.
On a horse?
A birdwatching trail ride?
How marvellous!
My followers will love that!
Richard and I are going hiking tomorrow.
How's the day after?
That's perfect. I'll set it up.

Ty Borden, the guy you shot.
JACK: Hey!
We just wanna talk to ya.
Here's how it's gonna go.
You're gonna do the decent thing,
and you're gonna leave town.
I'm not going anywhere!
I served my time!
I-I'm just trying to
get on with my life
Why should you get to live your life
when Ty can't live his?
I asked you a question.
- Speak up!
- If you don't get outta here,
- I'm gonna call the cops!
- JACK: Now, you don't have to do that,
'cause we're not staying.
You've said your piece; let's go.
Listen, I told you this wasn't
the way to handle things.
You're making a bad situation worse.
It wasn't my fault.
J.D. Werth used me. It was
just an accident, that's all!
- That's all?
- Yeah.
That what you said,
that's all?!
- Ungh!
- Oof!
- JACK: Tim!
- Agh.
All right, all right!
You shouldn't have done that.

Why did you do that?
- Grandpa?
- Well, don't blame him, Amy.
It wasn't his fault. He tried
to stop me, I didn't listen.
(INHALES SLOWLY) What happened?
The guy has no remorse,
Amy. You should've heard him.
Trying to make it sound
like he was the victim.
Now he's just going
around livin' his life
like nothin' happened, so I punched him.
No regrets.

Amy, I'm sorry that I
let that happen today.
I should've tried
harder to stop your dad.
But I'd be lying if I said I
didn't wanna punch Grady too.
Believe me, I've imagined
doing a lot worse to him.
So have I.
Does that surprise you?
That you're human? No.
I can't do this, Grandpa.
I don't know how to live in a world
where Grady wakes up
every day and Ty doesn't.
Yeah, I know. It doesn't
seem right, does it?
Ty was so good.
(CHUCKLES) He travelled the world
to save endangered animals.
He he danced with me
in the back of his truck
when we missed my school dance.
He was
he was the best dad.
(TEARFUL INHALE) And now
Ty is gone because of him,
and I hate him! I (INHALES SHARPLY)
You can feel that way.
You can feel however you want.
I'm angry.
(SHARP EXHALE) I'm angry at Grady.
I'm angry at myself.
I'm angry at Dad for
acting like such an idiot.
Why didn't he ask me what I wanted?
I know what Tim did
was all kinds of wrong,
but we're not always the best versions
of ourselves at times like this.
Often, we're the very worst.
(BIRDS CHIRP)
So what do I do?
I don't have the answer to that, Amy.
Just just know that I'm here for you.

You're never gonna believe this.
Lou promised Gladys a
mountain bluebird sighting.
Which, I did the research,
and they're extremely rare,
and so, the chance of
seeing one is slim to none.
So not only is Gladys
gonna be disappointed,
but so will her 20,000 followers.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
The guy that shot Amy
and Ty, he's back in town.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
Oh, Tim, I'm sorry. I
don't even know what to say.
Oh, I knew this day was coming.
What do you mean?
(SIGHS)
Amy and Jack basically
buried their heads in the sand
during the trial,
but I followed the whole thing.
Grady got a reduced sentence
because he was willing
to testify against J.D. Werth,
the guy that they were really after.
And I wanted to get a lawyer
to make sure that (SIGHS)
that Grady didn't get off so easy.
But Amy
she wanted to move on.
I just should've pushed her harder.
I should've done more to protect her.
Yeah, but even if
you had hired a lawyer,
that doesn't mean it would've
made any difference
I should've done something, anything.
It would've been better than what I did,
which was nothing.
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
- It's been a long day, I'm goin' to bed.
- Okay, listen. Look at me.

and you can't blame yourself for this.

Good news, we located
a mountain bluebird.
Really? That was fast!
We didn't actually find one,
we just did some online research.
A conservation group set
up a bunch of nesting boxes
just outside of Okotoks.
If you head over there,
you're guaranteed to see a bluebird.
Except for that I promised Gladys
a birdwatching trail
ride here, not in Okotoks.
Well, finding a bluebird here
would be like looking for
a needle in a haystack.
It makes way more sense to take
Gladys to the nesting boxes.
Hmm maybe I was wrong about you two.
What do you mean?
You asked us to find a bluebird nest,
and that's exactly what we did.
No, I asked you to find
a nest on the property.
So, I'm sorry, no bird no bonus.
But that's not fair!
That is business.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm gonna have to go and
break the news to Gladys.
Uh, don't say anything to her yet.
We'll do some more research,
and see what we can find.
Okay. The trail ride is tomorrow,
so you don't have a lot of time.
- We won't let you down.
- Okay.
More research? We literally
looked at everything
there is online about
mountain bluebirds.
We're never going to find one.
What is with you today?
You're so negative.
- I'm just being realistic.
- You're not even trying.
Same with the card game earlier.
You gave up before it was even over.
Nothing ever works out
the way I want it to,

feel sorry for yourself,

No, there's too much work. I'm fine.
You're not fine. You're distracted,
and I think we both know why.
Am I about to get a classic
Jack Bartlett lecture
on why violence is never the answer?
No, you're not. I
wouldn't waste my breath.
You know what you did.
Yeah, and you know what you did.
- What's that?
- Nothin'! You stood there.
You treated that trigger-happy idiot
like he was a human being,
instead of the criminal
that ruined Amy's life!
What should I have done? Punch him, too?
Run him over with my
truck? An eye for an eye?
- Exactly.
- Yeah?
How's that working out for ya?
- Just fine.
- Really?
'cause I saw you draggin'
yourself back to the ranch
at the crack of dawn.
You were out all night, weren't you?
- I went for a drive.
- Yeah?
How'd your wife feel about that?
- None of your business.
- You're right, it's not.
But what happens out
here with the cattle,
that is my business, and
you're not fit to be working!
- Gimme a break!
- Shut your trap, I'm not finished!
If you want revenge, hire that lawyer
you kept going on
about during the trial.
Fat load of good it'll do ya,
but if it makes you
feel better, go ahead!
But beatin' up Grady, or worse,
you're the one who's
gonna end up behind bars,
and I will not let that happen!
Amy's already lost too many people.
I will not let her lose a father,
not while I'm still standing!
Do I make myself clear?!

But if I do that, where does it stop?
Yeah, Grady pulled the trigger,
but he wouldn't have been
there if it wasn't for J.D.,

- You're right!
And what about the doctors
that discharged Ty from the hospital?
He obviously was in no

so maybe we should just sue them!

but I have to fight it,
'cause yeah, I'm angry, but I
am not gonna let it ruin my life.
I have come way too far for that.
(EMOTIONAL) I should've done something.
I should've hired a
lawyer to put Grady away.
I shoulda protected you.
(SHOUTING) You are not
listening to me, Dad!
Grady is not a monster, okay?!
Yes, he pulled the trigger,
but he was not aiming at me or at Ty,
he was shooting at a wolf.
What happened, it was horrible,
and there's no way to make sense of it.
(TEARFUL) I don't know what to do.
I don't know how to make it better.
I don't know that there
is a way to make it better.
All we can do is keep going.
You know, after Mom died,
it was Spartan,
joining up with him, that
helped me connect with myself,
and with horses.
(SNIFFLES)
And after Ty, it was Lyndy who
kept me from losing myself again.
You need to find what works for you,
before your anger burns everything down.

All I know is that you

Someone who I loved very much,

Yeah, so do I.

That's not good enough.

He's obviously feeling
guilty about dumping me here.
Not the reason.
Is it okay if he joins
us on the trail ride?
Oh yeah, of course, I'll
just tack up another horse.

You were right about
this place, Richard.
It's wonderful.
I'm just so pleased
you're happy, Mother.
Stop slouching; you'll
end up with a hunchback.
Thank you for making
this happen, Jessica.
I'm giving this place my highest
recommendation on all my social media.
Prepare to have an influx
of birders booking in.
Well, Lou will be thrilled,
but it's really Katie and Parker
who deserve all of the credit,
'cause I put them in
charge of finding the nest
and they really delivered.
Well done, girls.
We also saw a great blue
heron not too far from here.
- Woo!
- And a ruby-crowned kinglet.
We can show you, if you're interested.
I am most definitely
interested. Lead the way!
That's it! Ooh!
