Heartland (CA) s18e07 Episode Script

1
Previously on Heartland.
Losing this lease,
that's a real blow.
I can carve out
a few acres for you.
This isn't really about money;
this is about us remembering
that we're neighbours.
What was your path
to becoming a writer?
I went to the Vancouver
Fine Arts School.
It just changed me.
It's me, Dad. It's Nathan.
His dad has Alzheimer's.
And it's not my place
to share that,
so please just keep it
between us.
Bringing colour
into your world.
Way to go, Jack.
You made that sound
about as interesting as
listening to paint dry.
(crowd laughing)
What are you telling me?
That Nathan has Alzheimer's?
Crown Shoppers is dropping us.
I don't understand
how they found out.
♪♪♪
Tchk! Tchk! Tchk!
Good. Come on.
Psst. Tchk, tchk, tchk!
Good boy.
Feeling good,
aren't you, Spartan?
(Spartan whinnies)
Mm-hmm?
What's your secret?
Come on.
(door closes)
Next time Peter has
a 6 A.M. flight,
remind me of this moment and
tell me to put him in a taxi.
How did your dinner
with Nathan go?
It didn't really.
He got a call
from Crown Shoppers.
They found out about
his dad's illness.
I take it that's bad?
Well, they didn't know
that Nathan
was making all the business
decisions and not his dad.
And so they have
dropped Pryce Beef.
That is a poor reaction
on the part of Crown.
The thing is, Lou,
Nathan has no idea
how they found out
because he had been keeping
everything so private.
-Please tell me that you didn't–
- Amy, it just slipped out.
I'm so sorry.
How?! How did it
just slip out?!
The way that
Jed spoke about him,
they had a long
working relationship,
he made it sound
like he knew.
And you knew this was
confidential, Lou!
I told you that Nathan
wasn't telling anyone!
Amy, it wasn't
intentional.
Okay. Somebody wanna
fill me in on why you two
are at each other
before I've even had my coffee?
Nathan Pryce Sr.
Has Alzheimer's.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
I had no idea.
Yeah, that's
because Nathan was keeping
the illness a secret…
Until Lou decided to announce it
to the CEO of Crown Shoppers
when we were in Vancouver.
You can't blame me
for Jed's response, Amy.
He was just opening up
to me, Lou!
I can't believe
you were so careless.

– Subtitle formatting by Alice –
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Welcome to Heartland.
- Yeah.
- You must be Rhiannon.
- That's me.
Dad was a big Fleetwood Mac fan.
Um, this is Sword.
He's beautiful.
We…
Your email didn't really say
what was wrong.
I didn't want you
to turn me down.
My problem is not entirely
about a horse.
Just wait right there.
Good boy, Sword.
(hawk screeches)
Oh. That is not
what I was expecting.
Amy, meet Eerie.
I'm, uh, trying to continue
my family tradition
of mounted falconry, but
Eerie and Sword don't get along,
and I'm about to lose
my family business…
Unless you can help me.
I know I made a mistake.
Okay, I knew it
the moment I saw Jed's face.
What I'd like
to understand is
why Pryce's illness
even came up.
You mean,
did I intentionally
bring it up to hurt
Nathan's business?
No, Grandpa. Obviously.
I mean, how was I even
supposed to know
that he would drop Pryce Beef?
Well, accident or not,
Amy told you that
in confidence,
you're better than that.
It's not like Nathan hasn't
been taking shots at us too.
And that meeting got us
a major buyer for our bison.
I'm aware, Lou.
Which we needed.
It's just…
Alzheimer's is a…
A terrible, thieving disease.
It… kind of throws things
into a different light.
Morning.
Morning, sweetie.
Um, I'm caffeinated.
And your dad's
on a plane.
You ready
to go into town?
Yeah. See you, GG.
See you.
(door closes)
Wow!
Really? Oh, come on.
Ah…
Is that the best
you can do?
Come on.
Keep your elbow up.
Oh, commit, Denver.
Come on.
(sighs)
Oh! Nap time.
(horse whinnies)
What's with
the lackluster attitude
around here today, folks?
We've been at this all day.
All day?
Been an hour and a half.
Okay, gather around, please.
When I was your age,
I joined my first rodeo.
I was barely
out of the chute
before I hit the dirt,
face down.
But I got up,
and I brushed myself off,
and I signed up right away
for the next round.
Didn't pay attention
to bruises,
ignored the pain.
I mean, from that moment on,
all I remember are the moments
being in that chute
with the blood rushing
through my ears
and my heart pounding,
and that crowd out there
just cheering me on.
(laughing)
Also the times I was bucked off.
When I won…
No better feeling in the world.
What's the point
of this story?
The point, Denver,
is that any one of you
could be the next roping,
bull-riding,
saddle bronc champions!
And when you're in this arena,
you don't… nap!
You don't stop pushing.
You don't stop
challenging yourself.
Nothing?
(clapping)
Okay, nobody leaves
this arena until you've all
roped that dummy.
♪♪♪
Eerie, here we go!
(Rhiannon whistles)
(majestic music)
(Eerie screeches)
Wow, that was
really impressive.
How long have you been
practicing falconry for?
(Rhiannon whistles)
- Uh…
- What?
My dad taught me
when I was a kid.
But I sort of
took a pause
when I went to college.
My dad was really
the heart of our rescue.
Clear Sky Sanctuary,
it was his everything.
Until he passed away
last winter.
Sorry to hear that.
It's really great that you're
carrying on his work, though.
Uh, yeah.
One day, Eerie and I
will be able
to do it all
without a creance.
(chuckling)
Can I ask… is there
a reason why you use this?
Has Eerie ever flown away?
When he was really young,
yeah, but not with me.
I'm being really cautious.
We're just figuring
each other out.
I, uh, try to spend as much time
with him as possible.
We even watch TV together.
His favourite show
is Columbo.
Wow! Movie night at your house
must be a lot of fun.
Dad and Eerie used
to tour all over Canada
doing mounted horse
shows and fairs.
Truth is, they brought in
most of the money
to support the operation.
I just looked
after the books.
If I can't do what he did,
we'll go under
by the end of this year.
Based on what I saw, you and
Eerie would draw quite a crowd.
It's really
the mounted exercises
that people respond to.
Unfortunately, as soon
as Sword becomes involved,
things go bad fast.
Tim Fleming, in the flesh,
living and breathing.
Do I know you?
Rod Halo,
the executive producer.
A buddy of mine passed
along a video of you
announcing here last month.
You somehow managed to make
amateur rodeo look exciting.
Well, it is exciting.
Our athletes
are professionals.
We're a major event
on the circuit.
Well, well, my bad.
Slip of the tongue.
I didn't mean to offend.
What I'm trying
to say, Tim, is that
you are extremely
watchable.
You got charisma,
authenticity.
I think your act
is super sellable.
Sellable?
Sellable for whom?
My network.
New West Sports.
We've acquired
the broadcast rights
to some of the biggest
rodeo events in North America.
We're based out of Dallas,
but I'm in town meeting
with the Calgary Stampede.
Now, what we want is a new
on-air host,
someone who has real
rodeo cachet, but isn't
so dull they induce a coma.
Doesn't sound like you're
setting the bar real high, Rod.
Haha!
The audition's in Dallas.
We'd fly you out there,
set you up.
All expenses paid of course.
Well, I'm flattered.
But I don't need any more work.
Tim, five-star hotel rooms,
sitting in a booth talking
about rodeo, does that
sound like work to you?
Plus it'd get you back
in front of that cheering crowd.
Maybe it don't get you
another buckle,
but it will make you a star.
♪♪♪
Eerie!
(whinnying)
Oh, Sword, easy.
See? Hatred.
Come on.
Nothing but disgust
in both of their eyes.
I see what you mean.
SSword wasn't the horse
in the picture with your dad,
is he new?
Yeah, my dad's veteran horse
had to be retired.
Dad bought Sword,
but never got to train him.
It's okay.
We'll figure him out.
Do you always have Eerie
out with you when you ride?
Definitely, I hoped
it would make
the two of them
more comfortable.
I think this might
actually have
something to do
with you and Sword.
Great. So Sword
hates me, not Eerie.
That's a twist.
It's just…
Think about it.
You spend so much time
with Eerie in your house, right?
You watch TV with him.
He trusts you.
He knows your body language
and your voice.
You need to do
the same with Sword.
Bring Sword into my home, huh?
I'll try anything once.
It's not exactly
what I had in mind.
Although my daughter
would absolutely approve.
(both chuckle)
♪♪♪
Come on!
Come on, keep moving!
Come on, Sword!
Sword, come on!
Git! Git!
Git! Git! Come on!
Git! Git!
(Rhiannon sighing)
(Amy): It's okay. You don't
have to get frustrated.
Just try to relax your body.
All right, I want to see if
you can get him to follow you.
(soft guitar music)
(exhales)
(exhales)
(gasps)
You did it! Haha!
There you go.
(cell phone rings)
I don't think I've ever
seen him so relaxed.
(cell phone rings)
If you need to answer that,
go ahead.
I couldn't have asked
for better progress.
(cell phone rings)
(beep)
Hey, I was gonna
call you, but…
Yeah, I can meet you there.
Okay.
This is a surprise.
I thought we were just
going out for a ride.
I know.
Yeah, uh, I'm sorry
I let that call from Jed
kind of blow up
our dinner the other night.
I understand. I would have
done the same thing.
No interruptions
this time, promise.
Cell phone's off.
Dad's watching
old Hitchcock movies
with his favourite nurse.
- Mini waffles?
- Yeah.
Might have gotten a couple hot
tips from Lindy a while back.
Nathan, you put
so much time into this.
You underestimate
just how much
I love breakfast
for dinner.
Come on.
I had no idea
you were such a rebel.
(both laughing)
So how do you take
your pancakes?
With some syrup.
Anyway, this guy's shoes were
so white, they were glowing.
Pass the butter.
He tells me that
he watched video of me
announcing at
the Hudson Rodeo.
You mean video of us.
That's not butter.
Well, he said me.
Haha! Anyway–
Is there a short version
of this story?
Yeah. He wants me
to audition to be
the new on-air commentator.
I bet he's sorry.
That was a wasted trip.
- What are you doing?
- It wasn't wasted.
Why wouldn't I want
this opportunity?
Well, you have
a job, Tim.
Two in fact.
This might be a chance
for me to get back in the game.
Not just as a spectator
or a coach.
Now is not a good time
to get a second wind
at anything besides ranching.
The business is
in a precarious position.
We just bought
a herd of bison.
Good. I caught
you both here.
Uh, Jed stark just called
about our deal with Crown.
Ah, they're not pulling it,
are they?
No, no, no.
Just the opposite.
He wants to expand the terms and
have Heartland replace Pryce,
supply them
with both bison
and beef.
Okay.
(laughing): Yes!
Yes.
What were you saying
about precarious?
(Tim laughs)
(Nathan): My boots are stuck.
A couple of my dad's horses
are running all around me.
Okay, so what
did you do?
Well, I was… was
a very mature 7-year-old boy.
- I… I kept…
- I can imagine.
- Calm, cool, and collected.
- Hm, you freaked out.
I… I freaked out.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, yeah.
(Amy laughing)
I…
I yanked my feet out of my
boots and ran home in my socks.
(Amy laughing)
(gentle music)
You have a great laugh.
What's wrong?
I have to tell you something.
It was Lou who told Jed
about your dad.
Lou?
She was in a meeting with
Crown Shoppers about our bison,
and she just…
She thought he knew.
And she was offering
her sympathy.
Oh…
I don't understand.
How did Lou know?
Did Caleb tell her?
No, I did.
She saw how guarded
you were, Nathan,
and she was worried about me,
so I told her
the truth in confidence.
The Fleming sisters have
a different idea
of "in confidence".
I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
This doesn't just hurt
the business, Amy.
This hurts my dad.
And me.
Clearly, I was right
to be guarded.
Please don't say that.
And I lost my appetite.
(gentle guitar music)
(birds singing)
(glass shatters)
It's okay, Dad.
I got it.
Morning.
Something I can do
for you, Jack?
Well, I heard
about your dad.
And the way things
were handled in Vancouver,
none of it sits right.
Did Amy send you?
No, she did not.
Not sure there's
anything you can say
to undo what's been done.
Probably not.
But I'd like to pay respects
to your father.
Today's not a good day.
Nathan, I'm not here
as the owner of Heartland Beef.
I'm a friend of your dad's.
He's sick,
and this is what friends do.
Well, another time then.
Maybe.
(door closes)
(Katie sighs)
Mom would never
in a million years.
Hey.
Hey.
Working on something new?
Uh, not really.
Struggling to find motivation.
Looks like you have
lots of ideas.
How did you get
a napkin from a bar?
Uh, someone left
a stack of them at Maggie's.
Ran out of room in my notebook.
Uh-huh.
So you are working
on something new.
Come on, tell me about it.
We're so good at brainstorming
together, right?
Uh, I'd rather
some things stay private.
Okay. I'll stop asking.
(door closes)
(Amy whistles)
(Eerie screeches)
(hopeful music)
Good boy, Sword!
Wow! He didn't
even react at all.
All right, let's see
how he does
when I send Eerie to you.
(Rhiannon whistles)
Hey, good job, gentlemen.
God, it's like you two
are buds.
Well, I think you should just
keep reinforcing that bond
both on the ground
and in the saddle
for every step
of your training.
I just keep thinking
that my dad
would never have
made this mistake.
He was such a natural
with animals.
I like to overthink
everything twice.
(Amy chuckles)
My daughter's teacher has
this poster in her classroom.
It says, "If you judge a
fish's ability to climb a tree,
it's gonna spend its whole life
thinking it's a failure."
Am I the fish
in this scenario?
Trying to keep your dad's
legacy alive doesn't mean
you have to be exactly
like him or train at his speed.
(Rhiannon breathes slowly)
I think we should try again
with the three of you.
Yeah.
(horse whinnies)
(Nathan sniffs)
Nathan!
Now, why might I be
seeing you again so soon?
Came to get something
squared away.
- Is Lou around?
- No.
She's in town
at the moment.
Would you like
to come in?
- No, thanks.
- Can I offer you coffee?
I don't expect
you want me to stay long.
Good.
Straight to the point.
What can we do for you?
I should have said
this morning,
I think it's admirable
you coming home
to care for your father
and the ranch.
I appreciate the comment,
Jack, but Tim's right,
I should get straight to it.
This is a notice
of termination!
For the big river lease.
You're pulling
the land?
Yes, sir. I need it
for my own herd.
I'll have to ask you to move
your animals within 30 days.
(horse snorts gently)
You ready?
I'm willing.
Not sure about ready.
Okay.
(Eerie chirps)
Good boy.
(neighs loudly)
Whoa! Easy.
- Easy, Sword.
- Sword!
(Amy): Easy.
Come on.
(Sword neighing)
Sword's gonna get tangled,
you've got to let him go!
Let him go! Hey! Hey!
(Sword snorting)
- It's okay.
- It's all right.
Where's Eerie?
Did you see him land?
I'm sorry, Rhiannon.
I should have just jumped off;
I should have
never let Eerie off
the creance.
He could get caught in a tree
- or land on the road.
- Amy.
Is everything okay?
Rhiannon's hawk flew off,
and we're gonna go find him.
Can I give you a hand?
That would be so helpful.
Thank you.
Yeah.
(Rhiannon whistles)
Eerie!
- (Amy): Eerie, come on!
- (Nathan): Eerie!
Eerie!
She's really not gonna
give up, is she?
Eerie!
Rhiannon's dad left her
the bird sanctuary
that he spent
all of his life building,
and now she's having trouble
keeping it going.
- (Rhiannon): Eerie!
- Oh.
I can tell
she's scared to lose it.
- (Rhiannon): Eerie!
- Sounds familiar.
(Rhiannon): Eerie!
Nathan… Nathan,
I'm so sorry.
I only told Lou that
so that she would see you,
see that you're generous
and protective,
and that you're carrying
so much on your own.
(Rhiannon): Eerie!
I know you didn't
mean any harm.
I half expected you
to tell your sister.
I just didn't think she would
turn around and spill it
- in the worst company.
- Neither did I.
You think we can, uh…
Put a fence around
our relationship?
Keep everything else out
and not talk about ranching?
I've been kind of wondering
the same thing myself.
Yeah?
'Cause I really like you.
I don't want to
give up on this.
(Rhiannon): I found him!
(Eerie screeches)
Ah…
Hold that thought.
All right.
(Eerie screeches)
Great. Now,
how do we get him down?
What, you don't want
to climb up that tree for me?
Eerie.
(Eerie screeches)
Eerie!
(Rhiannon whistles)
(Eerie whistles)
Good boy.
Hey, buddy, I'm sorry.
You're okay.
Um, Amy…
I think I need to accept
Sword is not right for this.
I am not right for this.
Rhiannon, I don't think it's
Eerie that's spooking Sword.
He didn't have a reaction
until the creance touched him.
You think he's afraid
of a little string?
Did he ever get
tangled in it before?
Uh-uh. I mean, this was
a close call, but…
Wait, Sword's old owner told me
that he got caught
in bailing twine
when he was a colt.
It cut him up really badly.
He still has a scar
on his fetlock.
Horses do have
long memories,
especially when
it comes to pain.
He's right.
It's possible that
Sword associates the creance
with the pain he felt.
So can we get him
to overcome this fear?
I think we should try.
Thank you for your help.
Yeah. You're welcome.
Nathan!
Did you tell her yet?
Tell me what?
He's kicking us
off his land.
You know, me telling Jed about
your dad, it was an accident,
I wasn't trying to sabotage you
or something, but this?!
If it was an accident,
you would have apologized.
And you had no problem
capitalizing on the mistake,
- have you?
- What do you mean?
Your sister accepted Crown's
offer for Heartland to replace
- Pryce Beef.
- So this really is retaliation.
We wrote the clause
into the lease, Lou,
at your suggestion, I might add.
(Lou scoffs)
Nathan, our herd
needs that pasture.
So does mine.
I've given you 30 days
to sort it out,
and I'm not taking away
water rights.
- I would never do that.
- You know what I think?
You're not angry
that I slipped up;
you're angry
that you got caught in a lie,
because you misrepresented
the situation to Crown
and there were
consequences.
And that is not my fault,
or Heartland,
- or Amy!
- Enough! Enough!
Lou, this isn't
helping anything.
Just I don't want to be
in the middle of this anymore.
I really wish
you had told me, Nathan.
I wanted to,
but we just agreed
that we were keeping
business dealings separate.
Yeah.
It's late.
Can we reset and talk tomorrow?
(sighs)
I want to be open, Amy.
This has nothing to do with us
or how I feel about you.
We'll talk tomorrow.
(indistinct song playing
at Maggie's)
- Hey, Jasmine.
- Hey!
- You want your usual?
- Yes, please.
And maybe hook it up to an IV.
How about a muffin instead?
No. I'm good, thanks.
Uh, Jasmine's usual.
You got it.
Actually, I'm glad
you're here.
I've been thinking
of moving to a bigger city,
and I was thinking Vancouver,
so I was wondering if I could
maybe pick your brain about
the writing scene there?
Absolutely, yeah!
I have to run now,
but are you free later?
I'm meeting a few of the others
for a late happy hour.
Yeah. Uh, that sounds great.
Okay, great.
I'll see you later.
See you.
You know, the sad truth is
I was actually
starting to like him.
I don't care if it was
within his rights, that move
Nathan made was slick
and it was mean.
Well, Brooks has been
threatening to downsize
for years…
So I say we make them
an offer
and take a parcel
off their hands.
- Buy it rather than lease it?
- Yeah.
With the Crown Shoppers' deal,
we can afford it.
And I'm done
being a tenant.
I want to show Nathan Pryce
that he didn't punish us,
he motivated us.
Well, that is a proposal
that I can get behind.
And I'm glad to see
you're using your energy
on thinking about Heartland
and not some sports network.
Oh, well, I have not
decided about that yet.
- Aw, come on, Tim!
- What?
We solved
our cashflow problems.
Lou's knocking it
out of the park.
Yeah, well, we still have
a herd of animals
that's too big
for our own pasture.
We've got fences to fix.
We've got bison to wrangle.
But you know,
I guess that's on me.
I let myself believe
that you were settled,
that you were committed
to the ranch and to the family.
I can do both.
My daughters are
grown, capable women.
I'm not abandoning anybody.
I'm disappointing you,
but you're always disappointed.
And these aren't
the old days.
I'm not that guy
anymore, Jack.
How's he coming along?
He's improving.
(horse whinnies)
You still flying
to Dallas?
(Tim sighs)
Well…
Haha!
Your, uh, your grandfather
thinks that if I…
Take this gig,
I won't be
pulling my weight
around here.
I think that's
a reasonable concern.
You'll barely
notice I'm gone.
Ah.
Being announcers
at the Hudson Rodeo,
that was supposed
to be fun, kind of a joke.
And now you're thinking it can
be something more serious?
I've done everything I set out
to do at the rodeo school,
and now I get
this opportunity,
and maybe it's a chance
for me to get back in the ring.
You think I'm nuts?
I think that
this is a decision
you have to make
by yourself.
For yourself.
Otherwise, no matter what choice
you make, you'll regret it.
Nathan Pryce might force
my hand if he keeps–
- I'm staying neutral.
- Neutral?
Come on, Amy. That guy.
Dad.
I like him, okay?
(sighs)
I had a feeling.
I'm just– I'm trying
to stay out of the beef wars,
and I think we can just keep
our relationship separate.
Life can't be divided
into sections, Amy.
You're a businesswoman,
a rancher, a mother,
a daughter.
It's all tangled up together.
I don't know how you're
gonna keep Nathan separate.
(beep)
Uh, Katie. Hey, I'm
at the library and it's closed.
Where are you?
(beep)
I don't know.
Vancouver just…
It feels right, you know?
Like, I just feel like
that is where I'm meant to be
and it's where I want
to be, you know?
Yeah.
I just… I think I was
scared to admit
that my dreams are bigger
than the ranch I live on.
Fear is natural,
you know?
I mean, venturing out
on your own is scary.
But your family will
still be with you.
They'll support you, right?
I hope so.
My mom, though, I don't know
how I'm gonna tell her.
Tell me what exactly?
Tell me what's in that glass.
Mom, it's not alcohol.
What are you thinking,
bringing my underage kid
to a bar?
Underage? What?
Katie… seriously?
I'm so sorry.
I never meant to trick you.
Lou, I apologize.
I thought Katie was
a legal adult.
I mean, my class has
an age limit.
You never check ID?
Clearly, this place doesn't.
It's just
a Shirley Temple, Mom.
I never order alcohol,
I promise.
Your promises don't hold much
weight at the moment, Katie.
Outside, now.
Let's go.
- Hey.
- Hey.
(horse whinnies)
I know I caught you off guard
by pulling the lease.
I think the term is
total blindside, actually.
I had to do it, though.
Yeah, I… I get it.
You put your ranch
and your family first.
You'd do the same.
I would.
Mm-hmm. Doesn't mean it wasn't
a tough decision, though.
If it was easy,
I wouldn't be here now.
In this scenario
where we… don't talk
about our ranches,
what exactly are you picturing?
This.
Us. Just together.
Okay.
I see you joining us
for family dinners.
Getting in debates with my dad,
learning from my grandpa.
Discussing business strategies
with Lou? (chuckles).
Does that seem all that bad?
No, no.
Seems… entirely right.
Sounds wonderful.
Just not for you.
(sighs)
I know I should argue
that I'm not dating your family,
but I'd be a fool the moment
the words came out of my mouth.
You deserve that picture, Amy.
You deserve it too.
Nah.
(Nathan sighs)
You're a good man,
Nathan Pryce.
Don't be a stranger.
(sniffs)
You're usually late
to pick me up, okay?
I lost track of time.
And I didn't really lie
to Jasmine, okay?
She never asked how old I was.
And I did try
to leave the workshop
when I found out
it was only for adults,
I did, but…
Jasmine talked to me
like I was a real artist.
And it felt so amazing
to be treated
like my dreams were
actually within reach.
Okay, enough.
Katie, I have always
supported you as a writer.
Come on, it's not the same.
It's not the same?
Do you realize the position
you've put Jasmine in?
She supplied alcohol to a minor.
It doesn't matter
if she did so knowingly or not.
- You could ruin her career.
- No, it was never alcohol.
Okay?
I order at the bar,
but I just get,
like, mocktails or club sodas
or something.
This is why you didn't want me
to get to know Jasmine.
You didn't want to get caught.
Okay, I…
I need to think about next steps
and talk to your dad.
This is bad, Katie.
(footsteps approaching)
Okay, I-I get that
we're in a fight, um,
but can we just please call
a timeout for five minutes?
'Cause I… I really need
to talk to my sister.
Yeah.
(exhales)
Parenting a teenager is hard.
It's harder
than being a teenager,
and that's saying something.
- Is Katie okay?
- Yeah, Katie's okay.
Just, you know,
while I was busy trying
to keep our business from
crashing down around our ears,
she was in a bar
pretending to be an adult.
She lied to me.
She lied to
her writing teacher.
I can't even wrap
my head around it.
Well, you guys will
come back together,
you always do.
You'll be happy to know
that Nathan and I decided to
go our separate ways.
I'm not happy, Amy.
I'm sorry.
Please, you are not.
I'm sorry that you're hurting.
I'm sorry
that I played a part in this.
It's just we couldn't
keep our relationship
from getting tied up from
everything else in our lives.
And I know it probably
wouldn't have worked, but…
My heart's
a little bit broken.
It's okay
if it's a lot broken.
You don't have to pretend.
Lou.
(Amy sniffs)
You know I love you,
but… I'm so mad at you.
What you did, it really hurt.
I'm not ready
to forgive you yet.

(crying)
(birds singing)
(rooster crowing)
Wait, I thought we were
gonna to be working
with Sword
on his own.
I did some desensitizing
with him this morning.
And I think it's time
that you work
with Sword
and Eerie together,
without the creance,
just like your dad.
There's no way.
Uh, Amy, I can't risk it.
We're lucky Eerie didn't fly
into the next time zone.
It wasn't luck.
You have a connection
with Eerie. He trusts you.
Trust is breakable.
And I only have
so many chances.
That might be true.
But I think right now,
the problem is
that you don't trust yourself.
Of course I don't
trust myself.
I was never supposed
to have to do this alone,
without my dad.
I know.
My mom taught me
so much about horses,
and I always thought I was gonna
follow in her footsteps.
Then I lost her.
And the thought of training
horses, it… it terrified me.
But it was also
my truest connection to her.
Struggling doesn't mean
that you failed your dad;
it just proves that he raised
a determined daughter.
Your dad and I have decided
you're grounded for three weeks.
Three?
You go to work,
you come home.
Your social media
privileges are revoked.
And this is
your temporary phone.
You will not be signing up
for any writing workshops
until you're back in school,
at which point your dad
or I will be vetting
everything
you sign up for.
- This is so stupid.
- Do not use that word, Katie.
How is this worse
than you telling a secret
you weren't supposed to tell?
We both made mistakes
by accident and yet–
I don't believe
you did it by accident.
You had dozens of opportunities
to correct your error,
to tell the truth.
You got caught, okay,
and you're sorry
because you got caught
and now there are consequences.
No, I'm sorry
I had to lie
in order to meet
someone like Jasmine.
But I don't regret it, okay?
Because it made me realize
that I've been totally
fooling myself.
I could never stay here
at Heartland.
There's an arts high school
in Vancouver,
and I want to transfer
there in the fall.
I'll be so much
happier there.
I know it.
Then I will look into it,
and maybe we can talk.
In the meantime, I hope you
think about what you've done.
(emotional music)
(door closes)
(takes a deep breath)
Jack.
I wasn't expecting
another visit.
I did say
I'd drop by another day.
Yeah, I thought
that might have changed.
Oh, things have
changed aplenty.
And if I was coming for you,
it'd be
in a whole different manner.
- But I'm here for your dad.
- Yeah.
Nathan, who's that
out there with you?
- No.
- Jack?
Ha! Jack Bartlett?
Good to see you, Nate.
You are looking
well-preserved, my friend.
Well, thank you
for saying. You too.
- You got time for a visit?
- Yes, I do.
Ha!

Yeah. Amy's one in a million.
Yes, sir. I agree.
