Heartland (CA) s16e06 Episode Script
Into the Wild
1
- Previously on Heartland.
- Well, come on, Jack.
You put up a good front,
but I know
deep down, you're not very happy
about what I'm doing.
- I can hear it in your voice.
- That is not true.
Ezra just made me
the craziest proposition.
He is giving me a chance
to show my work
- in a gallery in New York.
- Hey, Shane,
it's your dad.
I was thinking
maybe we could get together.
I would love that.
Anyway, just let me know.
I'll wait to hear from you.
♪♪♪
I always forget how much land
that the centre actually has.
No, it's it's incredible.
(Amy chuckles)
And you too. You and Challenge
have come a long way.
Quite the team.
Yeah, we are.
Hear that, boy?
Clint says you've really been
stepping up at the centre,
taking on more
and more responsibility.
You know, just doing
what he tells me to.
Kinda loving it.
Would it be weird to say
that I am proud of you?
Nah. I'll take it.
- And thank you.
- Hmm!
- Don't thank me yet.
- Why not?
I'm about to see
what you two are really made of.
Let's go!
(both chuckling)
♪♪♪
- Amy!
- Hey, Clint.
- Good to see you.
- Hey, it's good to see you too.
- Actually, I need some advice.
- Okay.
Horses need shod.
I just got this quote
from our farrier.
Oh! Yikes,
that's pretty steep.
I thought so.
Guy raised his rates.
I might know someone who could
give you a better price.
His name is Finn Cotter.
I'll send you his contact info.
(cell phone ringing)
Great.
- Thanks, Amy.
- Thanks, Clint.
Thank you. Hey, Parker.
Come on! Tchick, tchick,
tchick, tchick, tchick!
Yeah.
Wait. Where are you?
♪♪♪
Amy! I'm so glad
that you came.
- What is all this?
- I'm part
of an online movement that got
this evil zoo shut down.
The Coalition for Animal Rights
raided
and found so many violations:
animal cruelty, negligence.
The owner got charged,
but then he disappeared
abandoning
all of his zoo animals.
- It's horrible.
- We came here today
to cheer on
the Animal Rights team.
And that's where you come in.
(ram bleating)
Okay, why me?
I overheard
the crew talking about
a problem horse
in one of the zoo pens,
so I volunteered your services.
It's weird that they would
have horses here.
They're not
exactly exotic.
- That's just what I heard.
- (woman): Amy Fleming?
♪♪♪
Thanks for coming.
He's in there.
But be careful.
He won't let us
anywhere near him.
(strange barking)
What kind of horse is that?
(barking)
I think you heard them
wrong, Parker,
'cause that's not a horse.
At least not all of it.
Then, what's
the other part?
Zebra. It's a zorse.
(zorse barking)

(zorse neighs)
(softly): Hey, boy.
You're okay.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
Hey.
Hey.
(snorting)
(barking)
(neighing and barking)
Hey.
(barking and neighing)
(barking and snorting)
Oh Hey.
Oh
good boy.
(zorse snorting)
Hey. Oh.
That's it.
Oh
Good.
(whispering): Good boy.
Yoohoo!
- Hi! Haha!
- Oh! A successful excursion,
- I see.
- Yes indeed.
Mm-hmm. (chuckles)
So, did everyone get off to
the airport this morning, okay?
Tim is winging his way
to New York City as we speak.
Katie's winging it
to Florida with her dad.
Oh, good.
So, explain
this last-minute shopping spree
to me again.
Well, all my colleagues
on the circuit
have seen every single one
of my outfits a million times
and not one of them
wears anything twice.
So I just wanted to get out
and buy a few new things
- before I saw them next.
- Oh, Lise,
you always look so beautiful.
Do these folks
even care that much?
Well, it's kind of
a package deal with
the horseracing industry.
If you're gonna represent
the best,
you better look your best.
And, I don't know,
kind of fun
to show off a little bit.
(Lisa chuckles)
I wish I could be there
to see how beautiful you look.
Oh Mwah.
Thanks again.
It was my pleasure.
- I actually work with horses.
- Yeah.
- We know all about Heartland.
- That's great because
I'm hoping you'll let me
take the zorse there.
I would love
to work with him myself
and maybe be the one
who could rehome him.
That'd be amazing.
We got our work cut out for us as
it is with all of Shep's other animals.
We'll drive the zorse
to Heartland today.
Thank you.
I won't let you down.
Okay, you're officially
my hero.
I honestly don't know
why I just did that,
- but it felt right.
- I know the feeling.
(siren)
(honking)
♪♪♪
Jess.
You said the gallery
was walking distance
- from the hotel.
- It is.
- It's 20 blocks. Haha!
- That is walking distance
in New York. Hi.
- Hi.
- Hmmm
I am so glad you're here.
I am second-guessing everything.
Okay, what do you think?
'Cause it has to be perfect.
Apparently, there's a bunch of
industry people that might be coming.
Honestly, it
it looks amazing.
See? I told you,
didn't I?
Ezra, meet Tim.
- Finally.
- Tim. Fantastic!
- Here you are.
- Yeah, here I am.
Look at this, my two
favourite guys in one place.
Okay, so I'm not even
close to done,
so, Ez, what do you say
that you show Tim
a little bit of our New York.
Oh, this I'll stay here
and I'll help you.
Okay, all right. Well, what
do you think about these two?
'Cause I don't know
if they complement each other.
Does it really matter what
I think? You're gonna move it
- 12 times anyway.
- Haha! Ain't that the truth.
Jess' middle name
is over-thinker.
Hahaha! I'm surprised she has
any photos to hang at all
with all the back and forth
on which ones to ship.
And don't get me started
on the great framing debate,
- I'm still recovering from that.
- Tim, I was
a real estate agent; you think
picking a frame is bad?
Try finding this woman a condo.
(both men laughing)
Hey, listen,
I know a place nearby, serves
a mean steak. How about it?
Well now, you're
talking my language.
All right.
Um, you hear from Shane?
- No.
- All right, well, you will.
Go enjoy lunch.
And I don't have to be in
the punch line for every joke.
Oh, come on, you wanted us
to find some common ground.
- ♪♪♪
- After you.
(zorse neighing)
(zorse barking)
(zorse barking)
(zorse neighing)
Mommy, Mommy!
Honey, don't get too close,
okay? He's pretty scared.
See? Just like I told you.
Half zebra, half horse.
- A zorse.
- Unbelievable.
(neighing)
My friends on the circuit
are not gonna believe this.
Do we get to keep him?
Is he ours?
No, sweetheart.
He's just here until we can
find him a good home.
(barking)
(neighing)
(click)
Oh, he's pretty.
(neighing)
(click)
He seems to be
Pretty worked up
with you guys around.
Maybe we should give him
some space.
Come on, girls.
Let's go
- Give Harley a treat.
- (Lyndy): There you go.
(neighing)
(footsteps approaching)
(clatter)
Oh! Oh, shoot!
How's it going?
Ugh, just so behind
on my packing.
What are you doing?
Well, I thought
I might head up
to the fishing cabin
after you go.
Oh
I wish you'd thought of that
while I was home.
Ah, the cabin's
a bit worse for wear,
it's not up to Lisa's standards,
that's for sure.
I see.
I seriously never knew
these guys existed.
Half horse, half zebra.
And one big giant
question mark.
So let's keep doing
our research.
What else does it say?
Well
(clicking)
says that the, uh
the zebra side can make it
more skittish
and fearful by nature.
Okay, that makes sense.
What about the horse side?
(clicking)
"A zorse can have
horse tendencies and be able
to be ridden, but only if it's
been trained from a young age."
(zorse barking)
They're harder
to train later on.
Yeah, well, this guy's clearly
had no training, just
neglect and trauma.
How does someone
even get a zorse?
Well, the zoo owner
might have smuggled him in
from another country or even
bred him illegally at the zoo.
Either way,
it's a terrible situation,
terrible life.
What are you gonna do?
Oh, with a normal horse,
I would teach him to trust me
through gentling exercises,
- work through the abuse.
- But with the zorse?
(zorse barking)
I'm not so confident.
He's half wild animal.
You know, if he wants
to be wild,
why don't you let him?
Then you could put him in
with your wildies.
It is a good thought, but
No, Caz, the herd's leader,
he's aggressive.
And after everything
this horse has been through,
I just want him to go
somewhere where he feels safe,
isn't challenged.
In the meantime?
(zorse neighing)
In the meantime,
he is the challenge.
(zorse snorting)
♪♪♪
(beeping)
(door opens)
You have no new messages.
Checking on
the cows?
Ha.
- The hat's getting some stares.
- Yeah, I bet.
You better get used to that;
you're basically the star
- of Jessica's whole show.
- Ah
Hey, you know, honestly,
I've never seen her happier.
There's a a fire in her,
a passion.
Well, you created
this opportunity, it means
- a lot.
- Yeah, yeah.
Tomorrow should be fun.
It'll be a fantastic reunion.
Yeah, it could be.
She said you're you're
bringing some industry folks.
Yeah, oh yeah. Absolutely.
We'll see you there.
(phone beeping)
(Tim sniffles)
(phone ringing)
Hi, Miranda.
Yeah, it's Tim.
I am in New York.
Hey, have you heard from Shane?
I I
You have?
Oh.
No, I get it. He's busy, I
Yep.
Yeah, all right.
Yeah, I hope so.
Fingers crossed.
Thanks, bye.
(sniffles)
(zorse barking)
It's okay.
You're all right, boy.
You're okay.
(zorse snorting)
(zorse barking)
Hey, boy, you're okay.
(zorse neighing)
You're all right.
(zorse barking and neighing)
This is gonna take a while.
- Hey, guys!
- Hey, Parker.
Thought I'd get a ride in
before dinner. I can stay
- for dinner, right?
- Yes,
and you don't have to ask.
Not that you usually do.
How is he doing?
(zorse barking)
Well It's gonna take
a little longer
than we thought.
That zoo did a number on him.
That's awful. Poor guy.
But if anyone
can help him,
it's you, right? I have faith.
(chuckling)
(zorse barking)
Whoa!
(horse neighing)
Whoa! Whoa! Hey.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
Easy, easy.
(zorse barking)
Oh. You're getting
ready to go already.
Lise, I've been thinking.
What do you say
we do dinner tonight,
you and me, in town
before you go
on your way?
Hmm Well, sure.
(door opens)
I think I can make that work.
Got a ton to pull together,
- but that's very nice.
- Ow!
- Oh!
- What happened to you?
I'm fine,
just a little tumble.
Let me see.
Let me help you
with that.
Amy said
I could stay for dinner.
Logan too.
What are we having?
Um, well, actually,
Jack wanted to go out
for dinner, but
You know what? I could make
something before we go.
- That's fine.
- You know, Lise,
it's okay. We'll do
dinner another time.
No sense in overextending
yourself.
I don't feel like I am,
but okay.
- Hey, hey! How's it going?
- Okay, I guess.
Here, let me show you
how it's done.
Lou, I can't give you that
answer right now, I'm sorry.
Okay, can we talk about this
after tomorrow night?
Okay, fine. Thanks.
Was that Lou?
Everything okay?
Yeah, Georgie's out of the hospital,
they're getting her settled.
And Lou's worried that she's
been in Florida for too long
and the dude ranch
is gonna suffer.
Don't you think she should
worry about her mayorship?
Right? Anyway,
she asked me to step in
as dude ranch manager,
and I just
I can't commit
to that right now.
Not before tomorrow night.
This this comes first.
I don't know, maybe it'll
dictate what comes after.
Ugh, I'm so nervous.
Thankfully, I have
my handsome rodeo cowboy
by my side.
Right.
Are you okay?
I'm a bit nervous
about tomorrow night as well.
No response, huh?
Miranda thinks
he might not show.
I got a really good feeling.
Tomorrow night is gonna be
a big night for both of us.
- I hope you're right.
- Hahahaha!
- Yeah, absolutely.
- If even a few
of Ezra's industry contacts
show, I'll be happy.
(Ezra): You'll love
the next place I show you.
- Upper East side, great
- You trust Ezra, right?
Oh, Tim, not again.
I I like him.
I just want the night
to be perfect for you.
Okay, well, I know that
you're worried about Shane
but don't create problems
where there are none.
I know, I just I
I regret losing
touch with him.
It was a mistake,
and I hope I can fix it.
I hope he lets me.
He will.
He will. Hey.
Did you know that zorses
actually have better
night vision than humans?
And their stripes
are like fingerprints,
so no two zorses' are alike.
- Just like zebras.
- Really? That's so cool.
- Here you go, honey.
- Thank you.
I wish we did go out
for dinner.
Oh yes, we could have gone
for a nice dinner together,
but you didn't think
I could handle it.
No. I thought
it would make things
easier, give you more time
to get ready to go.
I'm not gone yet, Jack.
Stop ushering me
- out the door.
- (Amy): Thanks. Bye.
Well, I just got
the strangest call.
Do you remember
Colette, the horse collector?
- Horse collector? Seriously?
- Yeah.
She loves rare breeds of horses.
I actually worked
with her Gypsy Vanner
a few years ago,
and she cares for
all the horses on her property,
but she hardly ever
rides them. She heard
about the zorse, and
now she's interested
in adopting him.
I want him to stay here.
Please?
It would be a good thing,
Lyndy. Colette would take
very good care of him.
And she even offered
to make a generous donation
to the centre
if I can get him calm enough
- to take home.
- So, that's amazing, isn't it?
Yeah. I don't know,
it doesn't doesn't feel
quite right; it just feels
forced or something.
Forcing something doesn't
always mean it's bad.
Sometimes, animals
and people just need a push.
But you remember
what happened with Mickey today.
Colette's situation may
seem ideal, but not
if he can't be comfortable
around other horses
or people.
And he's definitely
not there yet.
He was so mistreated
at that zoo
that he doesn't trust
anything or anyone.
What about a join-up?
I mean, it works
- with horses, right?
- Yeah, it does,
but I don't know, Logan.
We have to remember
that this is a wild animal,
and he's dangerous
- and unpredictable.
- Well, I still want
to keep him.
Mm-hmm.
(zorse neighing)
(sighs)
I want to find you a home.
(zorse barking)
I do.
But you're gonna have
to trust me.
(zorse barking and whinnying)
(sighs)
(zorse barking)
Come on.
(Amy clicking her tongue)
Get up.
(Amy clicking her tongue)
(zorse barking)
Come on.
(zorse barking)
(Amy clicking her tongue)
(Amy smacking her lips
and clicking her tongue)
(zorse neighing)
Keep going.
(zorse barking)
Come on. Go around.
♪♪♪
(Amy clicking her tongue)
(neighing)
(sighs)
I'm sorry
for what they did to you.
I am.
We're not all bad, I promise.
I'm so sorry.
(siren)
Oh, I could get used
to the beds
and the pillows
in these nice hotels.
Okay, let's go.
Today's a big day.
The other thing
about fancy hotels?
Overpriced breakfast. Why don't
you order us room service.
(cell phone beeping)
And don't forget the croissants.
(zorse whinnying)
I just came by
'cause I want to thank you
for giving me the gig
at the Youth Centre.
So you haven't quit yet?
No. It's actually
going really well.
Good.
So everyone keeps talking
about your zorse.
There he is.
He's incredible.
Yeah, he is.
He still doesn't
trust me, though.
Poor guy's been
through a lot.
Yeah, I can see that.
I bet his hooves are
in rough shape.
After years of neglect.
Could have something to do
with his behavioural issues.
I could clean them up.
You could.
I don't know
if he'll let you.
(zorse whinnying)
Well, there's only
one way to find out.
Okay.
(zorse snorting)
Good boy.
(soft music)
(zorse snorting)
Hey.
(zorse snorting)
I know. You're okay.
♪♪♪
(zorse whinnying)
Shhh
Thank you.
He seems
calmer now.
Yeah, he's doing well.
He seems to be
more horse than zebra
In some way, you know.
I feel for him.
Like he's being pulled
in different directions.
I don't know.
There's two sides to him.
Wild and tame.
I get it.
I-I-I understand him.
Why, are you battling
between wild and tame too?
I just know what it's like
to be stuck between two worlds.
I'll talk
to you later, okay?
Parker, are you up here?
Got your text.
What's this issue
with the plumbing?
And why the heck
are you using the bathroom
in the loft anyway?
I know you two were hoping
for a romantic dinner
last night, so here it is.
Lasagna's hot
out of the oven,
and I didn't use
ketchup this time.
Okay, so what are
the rest of you gonna do
while we're
- up here.
- Don't worry,
Amy and I have it covered.
Just worry
about you two.
Enjoy the evening.
Hmm. Thank you.
♪♪♪
(indistinct chatter)
(woman): Oh, my God! Jessie!
Cheers.
- You look beautiful.
- Nice to meet you.
Oh, I'm so glad
you guys are here.
Come on.
Let me introduce you.
This is my Tim.
I'm Ann. Hmm!
You are the cowboy
who stole
our city girl's heart.
We heard about you
building Jess a dark room,
- buying her a horse.
- Oh, I didn't buy her a horse.
I, uh I took one out
of a herd of wildies.
"Wildies"?
Oh, my God.
I love you.
(people laughing)
- Excuse me.
- Yeah.
Why don't you tell me
about this one.
Of course, Jessie fell for you.
I mean, you're like
the next Kevin Costner.
Ah, thanks.
You know what?
Really, Jessica's the one
with the skills,
she's she's really
got an eye.
Hmm
- She certainly does.
- We just love
that Jessica's tapping into
her creative side, don't we?
Yes.
We so support
her new passion.
Well, new passion,
new career.
Yeah, right.
Absolutely.
So why do you think
Parker did all this?
(crickets chirping)
I'm guessing she's sensing
the tension between us.
(Lisa chuckles)
What tension?
You cancelled
our dinner date.
It kind of
feels like you don't want
to spend time with me
- before I leave.
- It's not true.
I'm just just trying
to make things easier for you.
What do you mean?
Well, I can see
how much you're
looking forward to going back
to work and you're
you're busy packing
and shopping.
- I don't want to get in your way.
- I don't want to leave.
- I'm dreading it.
- No, you're not.
You're excited
about it.
I love my work,
but I hate the travel.
No matter
which of my two worlds I'm in,
I always have
one foot out the door.
When I'm on the circuit,
I am craving being home.
And when I'm home,
I feel this inevitable goodbye.
- (Lisa exhales)
- I didn't realize.
I think
I hide it from you.
I don't want you to know
how miserable I am
in case it weighs
on you, I guess.
Well, maybe I don't
always consider
what leaving is like
for you either.
It's because you make it
look so easy.
I promise you it's not.
It's the hardest thing
I have to do.
Then tell me that, Lise.
Don't hide it for my sake.
(gentle piano music)
Okay.
Kind of nice knowing
this whole missing thing
isn't as one-sided
as I thought.
- If we're being honest.
- It's not.
And if we're being honest,
this whole jet-set lifestyle
is getting really old. Haha.
I'm so tired of restaurants
and fancy hotels,
just give me a home-cooked meal
and my fuzzy slippers any day.
Oh I'm liking
Honest Lisa already.
(Lisa chuckles)
(glasses clinking)
(indistinct chatter)
Seeing lots of red dots
beside your photos.
It means they're sold, right?
- That's a good thing.
- Yeah, it is.
It's just
that none of the art critics
or big collectors
have shown yet, and the night's
almost over.
Quite a turnout, huh?
Didn't I tell you?
You see how we all love you
- and miss you?
- It's a great party.
Um, didn't you say
that there was a few people
- from the art world coming?
- Yeah.
Yeah, that was, uh that was
on the table for a minute,
but in the end, we decided let's
just keep it amongst friends.
What? Why?
Because we all wanted
to see you, Jess,
meet your new guy
and, you know, appreciate
your new hobby
for ourselves.
Ezra, you know
that my photography is
more than a hobby.
I never would have gone
through all of this if I knew
- it was just a party for friends.
- All right, look.
I reached out to my contacts
in the art world.
I sent out your catalogue.
No one responded.
I'm so sorry, Jess.
Listen, you are
a fantastic photographer;
I just think that maybe
you know, cowboys is not
everybody's cup of tea.
♪♪♪
(Jessica): Oh wow.
Hold on. Jess?
How could you not tell her?
I thought she was your friend.
She is my friend.
I didn't want to hurt her, Tim.
How's that
working out for you?
Big mistake. Why don't you go
try to fix that if you can.
Yeah.
So
what was that dinner
really about?
I just wanted
to do a good deed.
- Parker
- Okay.
I've been feeling a bit down
since the zoo closing.
It was supposed to be
a big victory,
but maybe all we did was
create more problems.
Well, you did
the right thing
by by helping
to get that zoo shut down.
They were abusing
their animals,
and now they're being put
in sanctuaries
that'll give them
the proper care they need.
Not the zorse!
He has nowhere to go.
I just wanted to give everyone
their happily ever after.
Oh Okay.
Including me and Lisa?
Well, you didn't need
to throw yourself
into fixing us
just because
you couldn't fix things
with the zorse.
Here's a thing, Parker.
Happy ever after
isn't the end of the story.
It's kind of the beginning.
Now loving
one another, that
that sure is
the happy part,
but happy ever after,
that's a lot more complicated.
The dude ranch position's
looking pretty appealing right now.
What do you mean? They all
have red dots on them now.
Yeah, that's all Ezra
because he wants
to buy them all out of guilt
and because you put
the fear of God into him.
It's the New York way:
throw money at the problem.
What was I thinking?
This was gonna be
my big break?
Stupid.
All that time and money
and framing
and shipping and
Are you kidding? They're gonna
sell like hot cakes back home.
Well, who's gonna
ship 'em back?
Ezra can ship 'em back.
(Jessica scoffs)
Oh, my God, Shane.
He didn't show.
Yeah, I knew
he wasn't gonna show.
Oh, honey,
I'm so sorry.
Look at us.
Put ourselves out there,
got brutally rejected.
Boy, you really know
how to cheer a guy up.
(Jessica laughs)
Dad?
Shane.
Oh! I'm sorry.
This is my wife, Jessica.
Jessica, this is my son, Shane.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm so thrilled
that you're here.
Uh, I'm gonna give you guys
a little bit of time
to catch up.
She's great, really great.
Uh, when did you two
get married?
Ah, it's been
almost two years.
Yeah.

Oh, I do. Yeah, yeah.
After clerking, I hope

No. No, not yet.
Well, that's

now she's interested
in adopting him.

Please?
It would be a good thing,
Lyndy. Colette would take
very good care of him.
And she even offered

if I can get him calm enough
- to take home.
- So, that's amazing, isn't it?
Yeah. I don't know,
it doesn't doesn't feel
quite right; it just feels
forced or something.
Forcing something doesn't
always mean it's bad.
Sometimes, animals
and people just need a push.

Colette's situation may
seem ideal, but not
if he can't be comfortable
around other horses
or people.

she's she's really
got an eye.
Hmm
- She certainly does.
- We just love
that Jessica's tapping into
her creative side, don't we?
Yes.
We so support
her new passion.
Well, new passion,
new career.
Yeah, right.
Absolutely.
So why do you think
Parker did all this?
(crickets chirping)
I'm guessing she's sensing
the tension between us.
(Lisa chuckles)
What tension?
You cancelled
our dinner date.
It kind of
feels like you don't want
to spend time with me
- before I leave.
- It's not true.
I'm just just trying
to make things easier for you.
What do you mean?
Well, I can see
how much you're
looking forward to going back
to work and you're
you're busy packing
and shopping.
- I don't want to get in your way.
- I don't want to leave.
- I'm dreading it.
- No, you're not.
You're excited
about it.
I love my work,
but I hate the travel.
No matter
which of my two worlds I'm in,
I always have
one foot out the door.
When I'm on the circuit,
I am craving being home.
And when I'm home,
I feel this inevitable goodbye.
- (Lisa exhales)
- I didn't realize.
I think
I hide it from you.
I don't want you to know
how miserable I am
in case it weighs
on you, I guess.
Well, maybe I don't
always consider
what leaving is like
for you either.
It's because you make it
look so easy.
I promise you it's not.
It's the hardest thing
I have to do.
Then tell me that, Lise.
Don't hide it for my sake.
(gentle piano music)
Okay.
Kind of nice knowing
this whole missing thing
isn't as one-sided
as I thought.
- If we're being honest.
- It's not.
And if we're being honest,
this whole jet-set lifestyle
is getting really old. Haha.
I'm so tired of restaurants
and fancy hotels,
just give me a home-cooked meal
and my fuzzy slippers any day.
Oh I'm liking
Honest Lisa already.
(Lisa chuckles)
(glasses clinking)
(indistinct chatter)
Seeing lots of red dots
beside your photos.
It means they're sold, right?
- That's a good thing.
- Yeah, it is.
It's just
that none of the art critics
or big collectors
have shown yet, and the night's
almost over.
Quite a turnout, huh?
Didn't I tell you?
You see how we all love you
- and miss you?
- It's a great party.
Um, didn't you say
that there was a few people
- from the art world coming?
- Yeah.
Yeah, that was, uh that was
on the table for a minute,
but in the end, we decided let's
just keep it amongst friends.
What? Why?
Because we all wanted
to see you, Jess,
meet your new guy
and, you know, appreciate
your new hobby
for ourselves.
Ezra, you know
that my photography is
more than a hobby.
I never would have gone
through all of this if I knew
- it was just a party for friends.
- All right, look.
I reached out to my contacts
in the art world.
I sent out your catalogue.
No one responded.
I'm so sorry, Jess.
Listen, you are
a fantastic photographer;
I just think that maybe
you know, cowboys is not
everybody's cup of tea.
♪♪♪
(Jessica): Oh wow.
Hold on. Jess?
How could you not tell her?
I thought she was your friend.
She is my friend.
I didn't want to hurt her, Tim.
How's that
working out for you?
Big mistake. Why don't you go
try to fix that if you can.
Yeah.
So
what was that dinner
really about?
I just wanted
to do a good deed.
- Parker
- Okay.
I've been feeling a bit down
since the zoo closing.
It was supposed to be
a big victory,
but maybe all we did was
create more problems.
Well, you did
the right thing
by by helping
to get that zoo shut down.
They were abusing
their animals,
and now they're being put
in sanctuaries
that'll give them
the proper care they need.
Not the zorse!
He has nowhere to go.
I just wanted to give everyone
their happily ever after.
Oh Okay.
Including me and Lisa?
Well, you didn't need
to throw yourself
into fixing us
just because
you couldn't fix things
with the zorse.
Here's a thing, Parker.
Happy ever after
isn't the end of the story.
It's kind of the beginning.
Now loving
one another, that
that sure is
the happy part,
but happy ever after,
that's a lot more complicated.
The dude ranch position's
looking pretty appealing right now.
What do you mean? They all
have red dots on them now.
Yeah, that's all Ezra
because he wants
to buy them all out of guilt
and because you put
the fear of God into him.
It's the New York way:
throw money at the problem.
What was I thinking?
This was gonna be
my big break?
Stupid.
All that time and money
and framing
and shipping and
Are you kidding? They're gonna
sell like hot cakes back home.
Well, who's gonna
ship 'em back?
Ezra can ship 'em back.
(Jessica scoffs)
Oh, my God, Shane.
He didn't show.
Yeah, I knew
he wasn't gonna show.
Oh, honey,
I'm so sorry.
Look at us.
Put ourselves out there,
got brutally rejected.
Boy, you really know
how to cheer a guy up.
(Jessica laughs)
Dad?
Shane.
Oh! I'm sorry.
This is my wife, Jessica.
Jessica, this is my son, Shane.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm so thrilled
that you're here.
Uh, I'm gonna give you guys
a little bit of time
to catch up.
She's great, really great.
Uh, when did you two
get married?
Ah, it's been
almost two years.
Yeah.
It's good, I'm I'm happy.
Well, that's
that's good.
And you?
Uh I'm seeing someone.
- Wow!
- Pretty serious.
Congratulations.
Who does that remind you?
Do you remember when you wanted
to learn how to rope?
Yeah.
Yeah, that was, uh
was a long time ago.
So your mom, she tells me
that you love working
at that law firm.
Oh, I do. Yeah, yeah.
After clerking, I hope
to be brought on full time.
They seem really impressed
with me, so
So you're not a lawyer?
No. No, not yet.
Well, that's
that's fine.
That's, you know. That gives you
something to work for.
I'm proud of you.
So you're good?
I'm fine.
I should probably go.
Gonna meet out
with some law-school friends
- since I'm in town, so.
- Right.
Well, thanks for coming.
And don't be a stranger.
(footsteps receding)
(piano music)
(door opens)
(footsteps approaching)
(Tim sniffles)
(door closes)
- What happened?
- I messed up. I I
I didn't even know
how to say it.
Okay, go.
Just be honest.
Fix it while you can. Go.
(piano music)
Shane!
Shane!
Shane!
Wait.
I never should have let
the distance between us
grow like that.
It was one of the biggest
mistakes of my life.
I should have
tried harder, Shane.
Yeah.
Yeah, you should have.
Maybe I should have let you.
I mean, losing touch,
it it wasn't
all your fault.
- I I played a part in it too.
- No.
I'm not gonna let you
take any blame. I'm the dad.
It was my responsibility.
No, it goes both ways.
I'm I'm a grown-up.
I let this happen too.
I don't know,
in the end, I guess
we both let it fade out.
I took the first step
by calling you,
but you made the next move
by coming
here tonight.
Thank you.
(Tim sniffles)
♪♪♪
Maybe any steps we take
in the future,
we take together.
- Okay?
- Okay.
I know a great steakhouse.
(Shane laughs)
Yeah, I know, of course you do.
Hey, what do you say?
- Okay.
- Okay.
All right, let's
let's do it.
(zorse barking)
(zorse barking)
Don't get Challenge
too close.
(zorse barking)
He seems a lot calmer.
Yeah. Yeah, he's definitely
doing better now
that he's had time to settle in
and had some hoof care.
He's not ready
to be rehomed.
I just
I can't figure out
which part of the animal
to tap into.
Like, his tame side
or his wild side.
And until I know that,
I won't know
- what home he's suitable for.
- Look.
(zorse barking)
(horse snorting)
He's like the kids
at the centre,
maybe you should put him there.
Haha. To the land
of unwanted misfits.
You're gonna just turn him
loose way out here?
Hmm. Actually,
it was Logan's idea.
Uh, was it?
Yeah. You said
he's just like the kids.
He needs a place
where he can feel safe,
no pressure, just run free.
And you know what?
I've always loved
the land around the centre.
It's safe and it's fully
fenced in, so why not use it?
(zorse barking)
Whoa!
♪♪♪
(zorse neighing)
Go see.
(zorse snorting)
Hey, what
are you doing?
I'm going with my gut too.
Challenge is a loner,
just like the zorse, so
maybe they'll start
their own herd, together.
It's kind of perfect.
I talked to Colette,
told her my plan.
She's totally on board.
She even agreed to still give
a big donation to the centre.
Wow.
Nicely done.
She wants some of the money
to cover the cost of the zorse,
but when that runs out,
I'm I'm happy to pitch in.
Actually no.
I, uh I wanna do it.
- Finn, you don't have to.
- I know.
I want to.
He's he's had a rough go.
(horse snorting)
(birds singing)
♪♪♪
So I realized something
very important last night.
Uh-huh?
I never doubt how much
you miss me when I'm gone,
but you not knowing
how much I miss you
So I just
Now, what is all this?
(Lisa laughing)
It is my turn
for a big romantic gesture.
And you have been
talking a lot lately
about fishing without me, so
I thought you'd spend
a little time fishing with me.
Huh?
What do you say,
cast a few for old time's sake?
How about it, Cowboy?
Well, as long
as you're not afraid
to be a country girl
before you go back
to your fancy clothes
and hotels.
(brief creak)
(splash)
(fishing reel creaking)
So I overheard
your chat with Parker
telling her how
happy endings are complicated.
Yeah.
And I think
you're wrong.
- Oh, you do, don't you?
- I do.
I mean, sure,
our lives are complicated,
haha, but
we are living
happily ever after.
Even with all
our ups and downs.
Look at us. Hmm?
I mean, this isn't too different
from our first fishing trip
except for the passing
of a few years.
- Yeah, just a few.
- Ah.
(long whooshing sound)
I love you, Lisa.
And there's no amount of miles
or years that will
ever change that.
Aw.
I love you, Cowboy.
