Previously, on Heartland
Can you tell me
that Fin's trustworthy?
Can you tell me he's reliable?
Fin is not his grandfather.
I actually know
that girl's coach.
- Do you wanna meet her?
- Can we?
- Hi, Mrs. Wild.
- Stop that, Caleb. It's Sherri.
Something's different
about you.
- I got my ears pierced.
- Looks good.
You always did have the luck,
eh, Timbo? One day,
it'll run out.
Grandpa!
Tim, you need to see this.
Mike!
Ah!
Come on. Let's go. Get up.
Come on.
Come on. Come on. Get up.
Seems like he misses Jack
as much as everyone else.
He's definitely
a one-man horse.
I can't wait
for GG to come today.
Me too. You know, Logan,
do you mind puttin' him
in the barn for me?
I think he's had enough
- for today.
- Yeah, of course.
What else are you
doing to find him?
You're the police!
Get out there and do your job!
Should we be
worried about Dad?
I'm hoping Grandpa being home
will help him ease up,
although, frankly, I think
he's coming home way too early.
Yeah, I don't
disagree with that.
I mean, he broke eight ribs!
He should stay in the hospital.
Yeah, well,
we'll just have to
Okay, I got the groceries.
The ramp is up.
Should I order more pillows?
I'm gonna order more pillows.
Do you need me
for this conversation?
You don't know that!
- Do you?
- He's gonna be okay, Lou.
Good. Make sure
I'm your first call.
I don't think you're gonna get
anywhere by yelling at people.
I'll stop yelling
when they start listening.
- And how's that working out?
- Oh!
Oh, they're here!
- Hey, Grandpa.
- Hi, Lou.
- Okay. Nice and easy.
- I'm good.
- I'm good. I'm good.
- Okay.
- Okay. Just go slow, okay?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Listen, I don't–I don't want
people making a fuss, here.
And I don't need a wheelchair
to get into my own house!
Grandpa, if you don't follow
the doctor's orders, you could
develop a serious lung issue.
See, I'm almost there now.
Tim, I got a call
from Gary Walker.
He wants to meet you
tomorrow afternoon.
He's gonna buy
those late calvers.
You really don't take
a day off, do you?
Welcome home, partner.
Oh, GG!
Just leave me be.
What do we do?
Oh, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait!
Caleb. Meet me at Maggie's.
No, the police aren't
doing anything.
We gotta find Mike ourselves.
— Subtitle formatting by Alice —
Grandpa, wouldn't you be
more comfortable
- in your own bed?
- Spent too much time in bed
at the hospital.
- I'm fine right here.
- Okay.
That does not mean
you're gonna walk around
like nothing's happened, right?
Well, I'm not gonna ask
for help just to get
something from the kitchen,
if that's what you mean.
I've gotta run
Lyndy to school,
and then I was gonna go and work
with a horse for Sherri Wild,
but I I can cancel if–
Don't change your plans
on my account.
Okay.
- What are they doing?
- It's called dressage.
Horse and rider perform
these intricate movements
while the rider appears
perfectly still.
- Seems kind of snobby.
- There a lot of artistry to it.
Some people call it
ballet on horseback.
Yeah. Snobby.
I thought Sherri Wilde was
a barrel racer.
Why does she wanna meet
at a fancy place like this?
Yeah, it is odd that she would
keep her horse at Hillhurst,
but I don't know.
We'll go find out.
- Oh! Sorry, my bad.
- Sorry.
Uh, Logan. My name's Logan.
Uh, Miley, and this is
my horse, Journey.
He's a good-looking horse.
What are you training for?
- Dressage.
- Cool.
Uh you know,
I always thought
the artistry of it was
so beautiful
like ballet on horseback.
Well, I don't know
if I can promise artistry,
but I agree.
It is beautiful.
Come on.
You ready, boy?
Be good, okay?
Tighten up
your reins, Miley!
Whoa! Whoa, Journey!
- Easy! Easy!
- Miley! Whoa, Journey!
- Okay.
- Miley!
- Are you all right?
- Yeah.
- I'm–I'm fine, Gran.
- Oh!
Wait, wait. Sherri Wilde is
your grandmother?
- Yeah.
- Now, you know
why I brought you here.
Katie? Hey, sweetheart.
- What are you doing?
- Uh, nothing. Heh.
Is that what you're writing,
"today, I did nothing"?
Sorry. Bad joke.
Um I thought it would be nice
if we went for lunch today,
just us. Girls' afternoon.
Uh, shouldn't we be here
in case GG needs anything?
I actually think he would
appreciate the space.
You know, we took
the day off. Let's use it
for a little self-care.
Uh, I–I'd rather stay home.
I still have a bunch
of homework to do anyway.
Okay.
I just assumed it was a barrel
racing horse you wanted me to look at.
No. Unfortunately,
it's Journey
- we're having problems with.
- I just bought him.
And he was perfect
for our first few rides,
but then he started acting up
and tossing his head.
Hmm. Not exactly winning form
for a dressage horse, I guess.
I had our vet check him out.
He's in perfect health,
so I don't know
what's going on with him.
Our first show is
supposed to be next week.
- You guys can help, right?
- We totally can.
Uh if Amy agrees, I mean.
Yeah, of course.
Hey, um, I'm sorry
I jumped in earlier.
It just kind of seemed like
something you'd help with.
Well, it is,
but I I do have
a lot of other client horses,
and with my grandpa laid up,
I might need to help
around the ranch more.
What if I take
the lead on this one?
You know, maybe it's time
for me to take that big step.
Okay, but I'm gonna
stick pretty close.
Okay.
An entire police department
and no one can find Mike.
So we need to search
every RV park
within a few hours of Hudson.
The Beast is hard to miss.
Good morning, Caleb.
How're you doing, Caleb?
Thanks for coming
to help out, Caleb.
The police aren't doing
their job, Caleb.
We're just gonna
find him to make sure
- that he goes to jail, right?
- Yes. Yeah.
Oh, come on. I need
your help, here.
Okay. I'll start
with the Clearview Park,
and we'll go from there.
Who's that?
It's me, Grandpa.
Amy? Hi.
How's it going?
It's going.
You must be bored. I can get you
another book or something.
Nah, I'm fine.
How about a cup of coffee?
I can put on a fresh pot.
Hand me the rest of the paper.
How about that?
Hey, GG. You up
for playing some cards?
I should probably
get back out there anyway.
Hey.
- Don't be a stranger.
- Yeah.
So did Lisa send you
in here to keep an eye on me?
I don't know what you're
talking about, GG.
Uh-huh.
Huh. Riding a dressage horse
in a bosal.
- That's an interesting choice.
- Well, if Journey has
a sore mouth, a bit might be
causing him to act up.
Yeah, but their vet ruled out
any physical problem.
Yeah, well, he might've
missed something, or
he could be reacting
to the taste of the bit.
Right? That would be hard
for a vet to diagnose.
It's rare, but yeah,
I guess it could happen.
She looks so perfect,
like she's barely even moving.
Come on, Journey.
Settle down, boy!
Easy, now! Whoa!
I don't get it.
He's nothing like the horse
I tried out before buying him,
and I'm running out of time
before the competition.
- Look, Miley, we have a week–
- I need a break.
- This is not going to plan.
- You know sometimes,
it's not just the horse
that we have to consider.
Maybe you should talk to Miley,
find out a little bit
more about her.
Okay.
Come, boy.
Hey! I just spoke to a manager
of a park outside Hudson.
He says there's an RV there
that looks just like The Beast.
- Good job.
- So can we call the cops now?
No. Not yet. Let's make sure
it's Mike first.
You don't think that maybe
we should just let the cops
- handle this?
- Are you coming?
So, how long have you been
training dressage?
About a year. I got Journey
'cause I felt like I was ready
- to compete at a higher level.
- Did you show
- in anything else before?
- I was a barrel racer.
Barrel racing and dressage are
- pretty different speeds.
- Mm. Just a little.
I bet you were good at it too,
especially with who
your grandma is.
Whoa! Whoa! Hey. Hey.
You're okay. You're okay.
Was it hard to switch?
You know,
going from rodeo royalty
- to riding dressage?
- First of all, I'm not
rodeo royalty.
And secondly,
I only ride under the name Wild.
I actually have
my dad's last name: Evans.
Miley Evans.
Has a nice ring to it.
Maybe Journey's not ready
for a show with me yet.
We have to train harder.
Yeah, or maybe
it's the opposite.
Maybe you need to have some fun.
I don't know.
Fun?
Mike! Get out here!
- Who are you? Where's Mike?
- I don't know.
Well, this is his RV.
I was looking for an RV
for a cross-country trip.
This guy, Mike, was
in a hurry to sell.
Well, what'd he say
when he sold it? Huh?
- Did he say where he was going?
- I don't know, man. Really.
All I know is the guy's a pig.
He left garbage bags
full of junk everywhere.
Well, what do you say before
you head out on your trip
of a lifetime, you let us look
through the garbage bags?
I'd say I'd rather
just be left alone.
Hey, kid, the guy that sold
you this RV hurt somebody.
He almost killed him.
Plus
I got 100 bucks
with your name on it.
Or Tim does.
Here.
All right. So it's time
to start thinking
outside the box.
- Mmhm.
- Miley's just so focused
on competition,
she's getting stressed.
Yeah, and Journey's
reacting to that.
Exactly.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Okay, so, you know,
try and get him to follow you
- over the poles, around them.
- Okay.
Just try
and stay relaxed, okay?
'Cause when you're tense,
then he's tense.
Come on! Come on!
There you go.
This was a pretty great idea.
Good boy!
Good boy!
Good work! I haven't felt
like that with Journey
since I first got him.
That was amazing, Logan.
Oh.
Hey
Hey, what–what's wrong?
- Nothing.
- Honey?
Oh
Look for more receipts.
I got one here.
Good old Mike.
Creature of habit. These are
all from the same bar.
That's where we'll get him.
Tim, where are you?
You're supposed to meet
Gary Walker in half an hour.
Hey! What are you doing now?!
Tim is supposed
to be riding out
to meet the cattle buyer
right now, and he's gone AWOL.
Well, you're certainly not
riding out there.
I am not getting a reputation
of standing folks up. That's not
- how we do business, Lisa.
- Jack.
Honey. I understand this is
very frustrating for you,
but you have to let go
of the reins a little bit.
Why don't I go out
and meet Gary?
I appreciate the offer, Lisa,
but you give this guy an inch
and he will take a mile,
and the herd
that's grazin' on it.
We had a deal. Remember?
I agreed to bring you home
from the hospital
against the doctor's
recommendations
and in exchange, you promised me
that you would rest.
What do you think I've been
doing all this time?
Well, plotting your escape.
And I'm getting tired of it.
If you don't sit down
on the couch, I'm gonna take you
back to the hospital.
- Okay.
- Even if I have to hogtie you.
Okay! You win.
I'm starting to think
maybe we could turn Journey
- into a liberty horse.
- Well, he's flashy enough.
I will try anything
if it keeps going this well.
I'm gonna go get him some water.
But don't plan a liberty routine
until I get back. Okay?
Okay. Ah.
- You okay?
- Yeah, I
There hasn't been a whole lot
of laughing around here lately.
Yeah, I guess not.
He was really brave.
Your grandpa, I mean.
Yeah, he was
also really lucky.
We could've lost him, Logan.
Hey, do you think
maybe you could take
the next session on your own?
- Yeah, for sure.
- Okay.
I promise I have not
moved a single muscle.
Sorry.
I thought you were Lisa.
Amy, what's wrong?
We almost lost you.
I just said it out loud
to Logan and
and it hit me all over again.
Well, you didn't lose me.
Grandpa, our last conversation
was that stupid fight.
And I'm sorry I let
things get so heated.
I should've
handled it differently.
And you were right.
Finn was not the man
I thought he was.
And he broke my heart.
But you broke my heart too.
I was just trying
to protect you, Amy.
Yeah, but all you did was
make me feel so judged!
I didn't mean to.
And I am sorry
I caused you pain.
My history
with the Cotters, I
it got the best of me,
and I said things
I had no business saying.
What happened?
What happened with you and Al?
Al Cotter betrayed me.
Went after your Grandma Lyndy.
Then, he lied about it
and had the nerve
to blame her and
And what did you do about it?
Well, threats were made.
Friendships were shattered.
Lyndy and I got
through it, though.
I'd say you did
more than that.
And Finn?
It's over.
My instincts were
all wrong, and
I'm just so mad at myself.
I don't know
what I was thinking.
You were thinking
it's nice
to feel something again.
Yeah.
I just don't know
why I thought I was ready.
I mean
Me, I haven't even
taken my rings off.
Now, we both agree
that us fighting is, uh
it's the pits, right?
Yeah.
Come on,
come on, pick up.
Hey, it's Caleb. I'm with Tim.
It's really scaring me
this time.
All right.
Keep him on a loose rein,
and then take him around
the poles like you were on foot.
But keep it chill.
Next, you'll want me
to run barrels.
You have to show Journey
that training can be fun.
All right, when you're ready,
try a half pass.
- They look good.
- Journey, no!
- Oh, see, he's tensing up.
- No!
Stop that!
Just settle down now. Journey!
Come on, Journey! Stop it!
No! Whoa! Journey!
Miley!
- Hey, Journey!
- Miley! Are you okay?
You all right? That was
- quite the fall.
- Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm just angry.
He's never reared before.
Could something
have spooked him?
No. That was
more like a tantrum.
I don't know.
What I saw was fear.
What does he have
to be afraid of?
Maybe Journey's problem
just can't be solved.
No, I think–I think maybe
you should just take a moment.
Okay? Why don't you
go get cleaned up?
I have no idea
what's wrong with Journey.
I should just stick
to mucking stalls.
Hey. You have great intuition,
okay? But it's possible
that maybe you're not
seeing the whole picture.
Do you know
why Journey's been misbehaving?
I might have an idea.
You're lucky, Gary.
This is a rare opportunity.
- We don't often sell.
- I can do 2800 a head.
Ah. Well, that is
not the price
- you agreed upon with Jack.
- I talked
to some of the other ranchers
out this way.
None of them are charging what
Jack quoted me, not even close.
Well, they aren't selling
Heartland cattle.
Still a good offer.
That may well be,
but settling on one price
with my husband and then trying
for a lower one with me?
That's poor business, Gary.
- Let's go.
- Now, hold on.
I had to try.
- Ah.
- I can do
- the agreed-upon price.
- Yeah. Good.
- Plus 10%.
- Now, wait a minute!
Well, you opened the door
for negotiation, my friend.
Extra 10% gets you first
right of refusal next spring.
What do you say?
Pleasure doing
business with you.
Look, just trust Amy
one more time.
What could she
possibly want to try now?
I'm gonna put
Logan up in the saddle.
Wait, what? I don't know
- how to ride dressage.
- That's fine.
Just pretend like
you're riding Challenge.
Now, just try to relax. Okay?
Shake off any nerves
that you have.
All right.
That's good.
Okay, bring him into a trot.
Now, when you're ready,
I want you to close
your legs around him,
shorten up on your reins,
try to bring him
into a nice frame.
There you go!
How does that feel?
He's crazy smooth!
Looks good.
Okay, now you can canter him.
He's perfect
and beautiful.
Which means
that the problem is me?
Any sign of him?
Bartender says
he's been a regular
for the last couple weeks,
but, uh
we're just gonna
have to wait him out.
Tim, what if Mike's
long gone? I mean,
- why would he stick around?
- I don't think he's got
anywhere else to go.
I think he's got some cash
from the sale of his RV,
and he's just gonna try
to figure out what to do next.
Trust me, Caleb, I know
this guy.
Mom? What is all this?
I thought since
you didn't want to come
on a mother-daughter date
with me, I would bring
the date to you, complete with
sparkling grape juice.
You–you don't like it.
You hate it.
It's not completely lame.
Especially if I get
to pick your nail colour.
Deal. Just try to pick
something I can
actually wear to work.
How do you feel
about neon yellow?
Now you're messing with me.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Why did you
quit barrel racing?
Because I like
the elegance of dressage.
- There's nothing like it.
- But do you love it, though?
That's a weird question.
I talked with your grandma,
and she said that you used
to light up
whenever you ran barrels.
I just I don't see that
when you ride dressage.
Well, dressage is more
refined. You're not supposed
- to show too much emotion.
- My point is people don't quit
something they love
for no reason. Barrel racing is
in your blood.
I mean, Sherri's a legend.
Yes, and I hate being compared
to my grandmother.
Okay. Well, that's a reason.
Gran wants me
to be her or better.
Every time that my name is
announced in the arena,
it's followed by "granddaughter
of the legendary Sherri Wild."
Do you have any idea
what that feels like?
Yeah, it's a lot of pressure.
Gran is totally fearless.
She's a showstopper.
That's just
That's just not me.
I'm just not sure
dressage is you either.
Logan's right.
You know, every time
you work with Journey,
it's like you're trying
to force yourself
to fit a mould.
And he senses it. You tense up.
He thinks there's danger.
So tossing his head is
him trying to tell me
that something's wrong?
It's not about your bond.
You two have
such a strong connection.
I love Journey.
The idea of competing with him
and winning shows,
it's all that I can think about.
Yeah, I know it must
feel better about being compared
to your grandma,
making a name for yourself.
But maybe dressage isn't
the way to do that.
What am I supposed
to tell Gran?
That I'm quitting again?
I can't.
Trust me.
It's way better to just
tell your family the truth
about what you want.
It'll be tough
in the moment, but
it's way better
in the long run.
Bye.
- Whoa!
- You sabotaged my bronc!
Hey, I just wanted the people
to get their money's worth!
That is, see the great
Tim Fleming take flight!
You obviously didn't
stick around to watch
because that bag of rocks
you put under my horse's saddle
made him go crazy.
Jack fell in the chute
trying to pull me out!
He had to tangle with
1200 pounds of angry animal,
and he broke eight ribs!
He could've been
paralyzed, Mike!
- He coud've been killed!
- Tim, I swear,
I never meant to hurt
anyone like that, okay?
I–I just wanted
to ruin your showcase!
- Whoa, Tim! Just take it easy.
- You back off!
Tim, I'm not gonna back off!
I'm gonna call the cops
- before you do something stupid!
- Relax, Tim, okay?
- Tim!
- Jack!
- Boy, am I glad to see you!
- Mike, shut up! Just–
Jack, I'm not in the mood
for one of your speeches!
You think I haven't
earned the right?
Caleb.
Just don't move.
Just be quiet and don't move.
You've got two roads
you can take.
You can let loose
into Mike here,
and we both know
where that road leads.
Or two, take him to the cops.
It's up to you.
The only reason
I drove out here is
to be sure that you didn't
make this about me.
It is all about you, Jack.
- You could've been killed.
- It wasn't supposed
to be me, though, was it?
This is between you two,
- you and your friend.
- Not my friend.
You can't erase the history
between you, Tim.
Take it from me. I know.
This is what you need
to weigh up here.
Come on, Mike.
Thanks for coming.
Can you drive me
back to the ranch?
Yeah. Of course, Jack.
Looking good!
Hey, sweetheart.
Hey.
Mwah!
Gran
Oh, now I'm nervous.
That's the same look
you had when you were nine
and you stole my barrel horse
for show-and-tell.
I look.
I know that you spent
a lot of money on Journey,
but
I don't think
that dressage is for me.
Oh, honey!
A Wild doesn't give up
- just when the going gets tough.
- No! Uh, no, I'm not quitting
because it's tough.
I love Journey.
But
I don't love dressage.
I quit barrel racing
because of the pressure
because I was always
being compared to you,
even by you.
Oh, Miley. Ah
Well, what do you want to do?
Not racing, not dressage, but–
No, I–I wanna
run barrels, but
I have to do it my way.
I'm gonna race
under the name Miley Evans.
Miley Miley Evans.
And I'm sorry
if that's disappointing–
Oh, sweet pea!
You are my granddaughter,
through and through,
no matter what sport
you decide to compete in,
what name you choose
to do it under. Hmm?
- Really?
- You are blazing
your own trail,
and I could not be more proud.
Huh?
Remember that drive
to the Northern Site?
Five hours with a mixtape
that only played three songs.
What was that band again? Uh
Waylon Jennings or Blue Rodeo–
yeah, it was Blue Rodeo.
Five hours of Blue Rodeo.
It was Rush.
That's it. Rush.
I know what you're
trying to do, Mike.
And for the record,
Rush never gets old.
They do when you try
to sing along with them.
That's the trip where you got
food poisoning, right?
We had to stop every 20 minutes
on the drive back
- for you to throw up.
- It wasn't food poisoning.
Yeah, it was. We had to stop
at that little diner.
No! It was the trip we took
because the company had me fire
a bunch of guys.
Oh, yeah.
You were all cut up about it.
Don't blame you for wanting
to hit the bar after.
Of course, then I had to save
you from getting pummelled
- by that meathead you insulted.
- Okay, you know what? I know
- that didn't happen.
- Yeah, it did!
He only agreed
to leave you alone
because I bought him
tequila shots all night.
Longest tab ever.
We used to have
each other's backs.
I had yours
after the accident.
Then, you left.
I was ashamed, Mike.
I had to get clean
because I was trying
to get home.
Home.
Yeah, that's
what I'm most jealous of.
Heartland, the rodeo school.
I thought, why'd you
get them and I didn't?
For what it's worth,
I I really am sorry.
Can you believe
Georgie's already back training?
She's made a great recovery.
You know, she even has
her first show coming up.
I just wish I had both
my daughters here with me.
Well, you were right.
This is nice.
I'm glad!
I've noticed you seem
a little stressed.
Yeah, I guess. You know,
with the new school year
and GG and everything.
Yeah. And maybe
something else?
Maybe a a crush?
What? No. No crushes.
Katie, I saw how upset
you got when you saw
- Logan and his girlfriend.
- She's not his girlfriend!
I'm your mom.
I put the pieces together.
Yeah, pieces you only have
because you read my journal.
- Why are you always prying?
- Katie, I'm not. I just–
I want you to know we can talk
about these things.
This sucks.
I thought you actually wanted
to spend time with me.
Heh. Does Lisa know
you're out here?
Yeah. Yeah, it took
some negotiating.
So
something you said
earlier has been
bothering me.
Yeah? What's that?
It was about
you being mad at yourself.
And you shouldn't be.
You trusted someone.
You put your faith in him,
and that's a wonderful,
wonderful thing.
Yeah, well, it was a mistake.
Well, mistakes happen.
I just don't want you to hide
that beautiful heart
because you're afraid.
It's no way to live, Amy.
And it's not what Ty would want.
And you don't take
those wedding rings off
for anyone but you.
Hey.
Uh This isn't the cop shop.
I can still take you there.
Might have better coffee
than the bus station.
Heh.
Tim you should do it.
You should turn me in.
Besides, I burned through
all the money from The Beast
and I got nowhere to go.
Nowhere?
You know, Mike,
after your accident
I hit rock bottom.
Maybe this is your rock bottom.
Yeah. Yeah, maybe it is.
I think you told me once that
you have family in Winnipeg.
Yeah, good memory.
I–I got a sister there,
but we've been
out of touch for years, though.
Maybe you should change that.
Hey, you know, that speech
I gave at the gala
I never really apologized.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for your accident.
I'm sorry for cutting you
out of my life.
Go lightly!
- Woo!
- Okay!
- Woo!
- Okay.
I wanna be a barrel racer
just like you!
We're gonna have
to find you a good coach.
I want Miley to be my coach.
- Lyndy.
- Actually, I would love to.
Um If you want,
heh, I mean.
Well, I don't need
any convincing.
Do you wanna start now?
Come here.
Great job. Make sure
you look where you're going.
Look to your next barrel
over there.
Great.
Tight turn. Tight turn.
Perfect.
I kind of relate
to what Miley was saying
about, you know,
feeling the pressure to live up
to certain people's
expectations.
Why? Do you mean me?
Yeah, you put
so much faith in me.
I worry I'll let you down.
Logan, my faith in you
isn't supposed to be a pressure.
It's supposed to be
a safety net.
And if ever do make mistakes,
I'm here to help.
Good job, Lyndy!
Good job!
Katie?
Katie, come on.
Can we talk?
Hup.
Come on. Get up.
Get up.
Good boy.
Good to see you back home.
So what did you do with Mike?
He's in a better place.
- Winnipeg.
- Come on. Get up.
- Headed to see his sister.
- Winter in Winnipeg.
I guess there is some justice.
Hi, Blue.
Hi, buddy.
Yeah.
