( MUSIC FADES UP )

My winged Pegasus, today we're going to fly.

Why so happy, Priscilla?

My mother's coming today.

Oh, that's great. Well, good luck to you.

Remember, you're very talented and deserve to win.

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

Leading the round of Junior Jumpers is Priscilla Williams riding Lucky Lass.

You are the horse's trainer, are you not?

Indeed I am, and I expect great things from both horse and rider.

I hear her boyfriend paid 75,000 for the horse Priscilla is riding.

Charles? He'd be hard pressed to come up with that sort of money.

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

Of late, Miss Williams has been able to demonstrate good control over her mount.

I agree. We've seen quite a bit of growth in Miss Williams.

This must be the most perfect ride of the day.

Yes, her heart is into it.

Oh, lovely, and her horse is exhibiting an even pace as well.

Oh, what a shame for Miss Williams.

Well, it is disappointing.

The careless mistake will certainly drop her down to third place at best.

Have you seen that new kid Jake? Oh, my gosh, he's so cute!

I know, he sits next to me in my third period.

You're so lucky! I know, I'm so excited.

Wait, wait, wait, look at Priscilla... she has so lost her nerve.

[GIRL #2] Nothing new about that.

You can't keep her relaxed if you're always hanging on her mouth.

I tried to open up the ground lines to give him more depth.

Wait for the signs that she's ready. It's not about speed.

Sorry, sir. I let you down.

Okay, we'll resume your training on Monday.

If you ever want to be a winner, Priscilla...

you have to learn to believe in yourself.

Don't worry, we'll be winners one day, girl... I promise.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Mr. Holloway wants to start mine and Lucky Lass' training right away.

Darling, maybe this is a good time to share our happy news.

We're getting married! Isn't that exciting?

And we're going on a world cruise for the next four months.

Four months?

But my training--

Actually just Charles and I are going.

You're going to be spending the summer in Michigan.

The Midwest?

With your father, isn't that wonderful?

I don't even know my father.

Well, this is an excellent opportunity for the two of you to get to know each other.

But he's never even written to me.

He certainly seems anxious to get to know you now.

But-- but who will take care of Lassie?

Priscilla, I've made my decision.

Honey, you're under age and you can't stay here alone.

Besides, you may find that you like it.

Your father has a beautiful horse ranch.

I won't go!

Priscilla, you will do as you're told.

I feel terrible. Are you sure we're doing the right thing?

Maybe she'd be happier if she could take the horse.

You would do that for her?

We're family now.

Thank you.

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

Charles has agreed to send Lucky Lass with you to Michigan.

Well, you could thank me.

I'm happy to have Lassie with me. At least I'll have someone who loves me.

Oh, darling, you know I love you and now you'll have Charles to love you, too.

It's true. He loves us both very much and he wants us to be happy.

Then why would he send me away?

It's just for a short period of time. Think of it as an adventure.

You promise you'll come back for me?

Oh, darling, of course. Come on, give me a hug.

Come on, sweetheart.

( ROCK MUSIC PLAYING )

* I'll relive every single moment all day long *

* Open every door to every room but you're still gone *

* Do it all again and every time I do it wrong *

* Just holding on tight and barely hanging on yeah *

* There ain't nothing new

Priscilla?

Did my father send you?

I am your father.

Oh.

Have any luggage?

He's got it.

( MUSIC CHANGE )

* My mind goes to sleep whenever you are here *

* But that's a good thing

* It's always filled with doubt and fear *

You know, it's places like this that really gives you a chance to breathe.

Or suffocate.

* I'm well until I'm bleeding

* And with the sky I'm fleeting *

* Leave him with me and I'll keep him forever *

So, this is it?

Yep, home sweet home.

It's so--

Yeah, well, you know, your mother never took much to it, either.

[PRISCILLA] Um, but where will Lucky Lass stay?

[DUKE] Old barn right there has housed many a horse. He can stay in there with Honey Bee.

* I got a pocket in my mind

* I got a pocket in my mind

There you go, this is, uh, the spare bedroom.

Laura Mae, my-- Laura Mae, uh, she made up the bed for you.

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

It's comfortable.

(DISTANT HOWLING)

You planning on cleaning that stall up?

Yeah.

I'm Sage, I work for your dad.

You mean Duke.

Okay. I can spread this hay around the stall for you?

I can do it myself, thanks.

And I don't expect my horse to live in a pigpen.

Well, I'll help you.

No, thank you!

Okay.

Hey, some of us kids are going to the lake this weekend.

Maybe you wanna come?

Look, I really don't have time to play with children.

I don't know if Duke told you, but I am a very serious rider.

I will be spending my time here training for the World Hunter Jumper Finals.

They're in England.

No, he didn't.

Well, frankly, if I had it my way, I wouldn't even be here.

It's just a waste of my time.

Okay, well, I'll leave you alone then.

Can't get beef like this in New England.

I don't particularly like it.

So, uh, okay, what can I get for ya?

I don't know.

All right, what does your mother cook for you?

She doesn't cook.

Well, you have to eat.

I eat at the boarding school.

Boarding school?

Well, I'll be-- okay, what do they cook for you there?

Well, my favorite is swordfish flown in from California, but--

Swordfish, well I can't say I've ever had swordfish.

And the cook makes it with this delicious mango salsa--

(TRUCK HORN HONKING)

Your horse is here.

( MUSIC PLAYIN )

Howdy.

[DUKE] Yeah.

Sign this right?

Good girl.

She looks just fine.

I'll show you where you're staying.

Not what you're used to, but it'll do.

Well, why don't you just fix up a room for her in the house?

What have you got against horses?

Nothin'... I tend to like 'em way better than people, they don't talk back.

(NEIGHS)

( MUSIC CHANGE )

Look at that. Who does she think she is?

Hey, that's Duke William's kid.

Hey, guys, watch this.

Hey! Get out of the road, girl!

(BRAKES SCREECHING)

[DUKE] Hey, I got some fresh trout cooking!

I'm not hungry!

Now what'd I do?

Because it's not swordfish?

No, I'm lost, I don't know what to do with a 14-year old.

Yes, that would be just fine.

Yeah, okay, great, great, I'll see you when you get here.

Bye.

I hope you like chocolate! It's your Daddy's favorite.

Banana's my favorite.

Well, next time I'll try banana, then.

Thank you.

The press has asked me to take pictures over at the youth rodeo this weekend.

I thought maybe you and Priscilla might want to go with me.

Oh, I don't think Priscilla has any interest in the rodeo.

I can speak for myself.

I think that'd be just grand.

Sage is gonna be competing.

He's trying to save money for vet school.

I've never been to a rodeo.

I just don't think it's a good idea, see, because I--

I suppose that we can go.

Good... it's settled then. We're going.

Mm-hm. That's uh-- Something wrong?

That's delicious. It's grand.

Mm-hm.

Liars.

( MUSIC PLAYIN )

( MUSIC FADES UP )

( MUSIC FADES DOWN )

Hello.

Yeah, I'm surprised to see you here.

Well, it's a first time for everything, isn't it?

You know, my offer's still good on your back hundred.

I told ya before that you're barkin' up the wrong tree.

I'd let you keep the mineral rights.

Come on, we've gone over this a million times.

That land is not for sale now or ever.

Well, we'll see.

Forever is a very long time. Ma'am.

ANNOUNCER (OVER P.A.): Next up we have Rusty Davenport.

He's a snake. Yeah? I thought he was your buddy?

Come on, Rusty!

( MUSIC PLAYIN )

Good idea, don't you think? Hm?

ANNOUNCER (OVER P.A.): Next up, Sage Matthews.

That's a fine ride by Sage Matthews.

Did he do well? Probably won a buckle.

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

ANNOUNCER Oh! That's a five-point penalty for Savannah Foster.

Girls can do this?

Thanks. You're welcome.

Oh, my gosh, you were terrific! That was absolutely spectacular!

Thanks.

Who's your little friend, Sage?

I'm not his little friend, and my name is Priscilla Williams.

Come on, Savannah, let's go.

That was super fun, I've never seen anything like it.

So maybe Michigan isn't such a waste of your time, after all.

I'm sorry, I was really awful.

Yeah... but I won't hold it against you.

So, how does one sign up to compete at this rodeo?

This is far from what you're used to.

But I could do it. You could teach me. I'll work real hard.

Yeah, well, you can just put that crazy idea out of your head right now.

But I compete in New England.

Yeah, well, the shenanigans that go around here is no place for a girl like you.

I am no different than any of the other girls arou--

Topic closed.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

The thing is, I really want to do that barrel racing thing at the rodeo.

First off, you don't even have a horse.

That is not true.

I have the finest Hunter-Jumper in all of New England.

My point exactly, that horse ain't fit for racing barrels.

Lassie can do it.

Well, it takes money to compete in the rodeo.

Well, my mom gives me a very generous allowance.

That must be nice.

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

Come on! Wyatt!

( SOFT MUSIC CONTINUE )

Come here! Wyatt, come!

Hey! Whoa.

I came here to tell you I don't think you're being fair.

You haven't even given Lucky Lass a chance.

Don't need to, I've seen the horse.

Oh, is that right?

Seen you, too, you don't know nothing about riding.

I know one thing. What's that?

You and that old mule could never catch us.

( MUSIC PLAYIN )

That's one fast horse. We're gonna need to get you a proper saddle.

Laura Mae says you're going to vet school?

It all depends if I win enough money.

What about your job here?

It helps, and I'm mighty grateful to do it...

but it's just not enough.

Speaking of which, I thought he was against you competing?

Duke didn't say I couldn't learn. He said I couldn't compete in the rodeo.

Why do you call him Duke?

What am I supposed to call him?

Dad, Daddy, Pop...

Well, I'm not his darling daughter, now am I?

So do we have a deal?

I suppose, as long as Duke's okay with it.

( MUSIC FADES UP )

Most nights this place is completely free.

I like to come and sit out here sometimes.

I don't know, just thought you might like to see it.

So what do you say we go teach you how to ride a horse?

The stirrups are too long. The stirrups are just right.

I can't ride with my legs extended out like this.

Well, you better learn real quick.

Or we can just quit right now.

We're gonna have to do something about them clothes, too.

Let's go, open run.

This horse is gonna need to learn neck reigning.

Go.

( MUSIC CHANGE )

Gotta get those corners tighter!

Priscilla, you've gotta keep your heels down!

You have to keep those corners tight!

[SAGE] Neck rein, one hand!

Come on, Priscilla, hustle! Hustle!

Let's go, bring her home!

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

[SAGE] You need to stay perpendicular.

If you don't, it just throws you right off your balance.

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

Priscilla, you ride like a girl.

Hey! Where you been keeping yourself?

I was just out riding.

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

Hey. Hey.

I dunno what's going on with Sage these days, but he's not keeping up with his work.

That doesn't sound like Sage. You should talk to him about it.

I suppose.

Now did we come out here to talk about Sage and work...

or to finally take that walk you've been promising me?

Let's take a walk.

I might not get sheep.

Hey, I thought you were going to help me race barrels today.

I can't today, got work to do.

[PRISCILLA] Tomorrow then?

Hey, Sage! Hey.

Hey, girls, you're gonna help Priscilla with her barrel racing, right?

Yeah, let's go.

Got work to do.

Wait, you're not gonna hang out with us?

Nope, have fun, girls.

I thought you were going to.

Have fun, girls.

Wait, Sage, do you want me to come with you?

Working. Bye.

Um... hi.

Hey.

So...

( MUSIC PLAYIN )

Oh, dang! Sorry, I gotta start over.

It's not about form, it's about speed!

Come on.

Come on, get her goin'!

Push her! Come on, get tighter around the barrel.

Come on, let her ride! You can do it!

Okay, keep going.

Careful around the barrel. If you knock it over, it's a five-second penalty.

Bring her home!

Gettin' better. Good job. All right, let's go again.

Can't today, sorry.

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

Got work to do all day.

( SOFT MUSIC CONTINUE )

(RINGTONE PLAYING)

Hello?

A letter from your mom?

No, just bills.

[PRISCILLA] Yeah, um, I'll be there right away.

Who's that?

Um, Sage... just finished chopping firewood.

Where are you going all fired up?

I don't know, to go help him out?

Saturday, I'll be in Wayland for the cattle auction.

Like to join me?

Yeah. I think that'd be grand.

All right.

Oh! Agh!

Sorry! It's all right, don't worry about it.

Oh, wow, that's a shame, honey. What a shame.

It's all right. I have more at home.

You have more. Ah, that's-- that's good, that's good.

Okay, well, bye!

Bye!

That poor kid, you know, she's being raised in a boarding school?

Well, in all fairness to Abigail, there are lots of fine schools...

and plenty of people send their kids.

There's nothing fair about that woman. I mean, she needs to be raised by a parent.

She needs two parents, aren't you her father?

Yes, yes, I'm her father...

but you know, Abigail took her away when she was just one.

She's got no memory of me. How can I be a father to her?

Start by spending some time with her.

Well, I'm going to, this Saturday I'm taking her to the cattle auction.

She's not gonna give a diddly squat about that auction.

The rodeo's what she's interested in.

Oh, no, I'm not gonna let her ride in no darn rodeo.

It's the perfect opportunity. You know so much about it.

That's exactly why I'm not letting her ride in no darn rodeo.

Who's side are you on?

17.3...

That's good, isn't it?

It's a start.

Well, we can practice this weekend.

I won't be here... competing at the rodeo over in Elgon.

I want to compete. You're not ready.

I am, too.

Lucky Lass needs more experience around the barrels.

How is he gonna get experience if he doesn't compete?

You're just as stubborn as that darn horse of yours.

Is that a "yes"?

Only if Duke okays it.

( ROCK MUSIC PLAYING )

Is this what the girls wear at the rodeo?

Well, I guess some of 'em do.

* This way I'm living without my common sense *

* That you gave me That you gave me *

[PRISCILLA] Yeah, come in.

Hey, what are you doing?

We gotta get crackin' if we're gonna get the best stock.

I'm feeling poorly, maybe I shouldn't go after all.

Oh, well, I'll call a doctor.

Oh, no, um, it's-- it's the cramps.

Oh, yeah, right, um, yeah, uh, do you have everything you need for that?

Yeah, yeah.

You go. I'll just stay and read my book.

And you're okay by yourself?

You know, I'll um-- I'll leave Laura Mae's number on the fridge, you know, just in case.

* Most nights I have no comfort I have no peace *

* Most nights I can barely dream oh *

Well, what do you think?

What in tarnation is that?

You don't like it?

You bring this sissy looking horse to the rodeo, you're like to be laughed right out.

Well, we're not changing it, now are we, Lassie?

You cannot expect her to get into this.

Reckon it's this or nothing.

(SIGHS)

Come on,

Come on, we're gonna be late for the show.

This horse is spoiled rotten.

If you keep talking to her like that, she'll never get in.

We need to show him that we can do this.

Come on!

We need music.

( COUNTRY ROCK MUSIC PLAYIN )

Come on... up!

Now what?

She prefers classical.

Like I said, spoiled.

You're changing that shirt.

( RADIO STATI )

( CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING )

( MUSIC CHANGE )

Well, look who it is... Miss Priss.

Who do you think you're kidding?

Lay off of her, Rusty.

What are you, babysitting the boss' daughter?

I'm telling you to back off.

Let's go, Rust, our event's coming up, we can't waste any more time.

See you in the arena.

Are they always so terrible?

Don't mind them. Come on, let's go get you warmed up.

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

I'm sad to report that Brooke Douglas has withdrawn...

from the competition due to an injured horse.

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

What happened, Brooke? Someone shot him up.

Oh, that's just terrible.

You wanted me out of the competition.

Are you accusing me?

What are they talking about?

Someone drugged her horse, so she can't compete.

First up is Savannah Foster, riding Roxy Z.

( COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYIN )

She's around the money barrel.

We have a new competitor today...

a Miss Priscilla Williams, riding Lucky Lass.

Oh, look at that fancy horse, folks.

* Conquering the dark

* What you did for me What you've done for us *

* Fear will never take us

* For you have overcome with your love *

* It's your love

* With your love

I'm in third place!

You did real good for your first time.

( COUNTRY ROCK MUSIC PLAYIN )

* I'm living in a sunset town

* Whoa oh whoa oh

They're playing a slow song. You want to dance?

Do... you... want... to dance?

Sure.

(WHINNIES)

Unbelievable.

Did you see her?

Better call Duke, so he won't worry.

I can't, I left my phone at the ranch...

and he doesn't know I'm here.

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

I won third place at the rodeo!

Get in the house!

I thought you'd be proud.

Proud? You're up to your eyeballs in lies.

And you, I told you I didn't want Priscilla going to the rodeo.

You're fired. You'll take your truck and get off my land!

But it's not his fault.

I told you to get in the house and I meant it!

You're not my father. You can't tell me what to do.

I can do whatever I darned well feel like doing?

I'm not gonna have some spoiled little girl tell me how to run my house!

Now get in there now! It wasn't even his fault!

And I wouldn't have lied, if you wouldn't be so mean and rotten!

I hate you!

Yeah, well, I already know that. (DOOR SLAMMING)

Is that true, you didn't know?

Oh, Sage, what were you thinking?

I don't know.

Just unload the horse, okay? We'll talk about this in the morning.

Yes, sir.

( SOMBER MUSIC PLAYIN )

Agh, she is so pig-headed!

Wonder where she gets that from?

Well, I'm sure I don't know.

What do I know about raisin' a teenage girl?

I'm just a country boy.

That's no excuse, you old cow dog.

She had no business goin' against me.

You're just putting your own fears on her, you know.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm talking about the rodeo.

I don't want to see her get hurt.

Like you?

Where's this coming from? Huh?

You're supposed to be on my side.

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

Look, I'm sorry I lied to you.

I just-- I knew Duke wouldn't let me go.

You had no business bringing me into it.

You could have cost me my job.

You should go ahead and stay away.

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

( ROCK MUSIC PLAYING )

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

Sage! Sage, come quick!

[SAGE] I'm busy.

You have to see this!

(STEPS APPROACHING)

What?

DUKE (V.O.): Dear Priscilla-Sue, Daddy misses you so much.

I can't wait until the day I can show you this beautiful land.

National's today. I'm gonna use the winnings to buy you a pony...

I can't wait to take you to the rodeo.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you.

( MUSIC FADES UP )

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Come in.

Hey, I just wanted to see if you wanted-

I didn't know.

Yeah. Your um--

Your granddad was dead set against me having anything to do with you or your mother.

Granddad said you treated my mother real mean.

You ask your mom about that? Hm?

Your granddad always wanted to see the worst in me.

You know, your mom, she about knocked my boots off when I first laid eyes on her.

She was a real looker, I'll give her that.

That's my mother.

First time I ever saw her, I'd just got knocked off an ornery bronc...

and I looked up and saw this amazing gal...

looking down at me, smiling over the rail.

I fell in love right away, and she traveled with me from rodeo to rodeo.

Well, boy was I smitten.

So it wasn't all bad?

Oh, no! No, no, your mom and me, we had some great old times.

So what happened?

While I reckon it wasn't... all her fault, you know?

When Abby got pregnant with you, she just refused to go on the road with me...

and well, I was at the peak of my career--

So you had to go.

I don't know if I had to... but I went.

So if I was mean to your mom, it was just through my neglect.

She was always too refined for the likes of me anyways.

I came home one day and she had packed up and left with you.

But when she sent the letters back, why didn't you come after us?

She didn't send them back.

Your granddad sent the letters back.

Well, I found out about it before I could do anything.

That's when I had my accident.

Why would Granddad do that to us?

Well, I'm guess, in his way, he was just looking out for your best interest.

Much like I'm doing right now.

Is the accident why you're so against me competing?

When my saddle let loose, that bronco fell on top of me...

and crushed my kneecap.

Now if it weren't for Laura Mae, I probably wouldn't be walkin' right now...

but she pulled me up and forced me out of that bed.

But I don't want to bronc ride.

I've seen a girl break her neck running those barrels.

Duke, I'm a good rider and Lucky Lass would take care of me.

Mm-hm... yeah.

Well, one thing I've learned is that good judgment comes from experience...

and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

You didn't mean any of this!

What are you doing?

I'm gonna show her who runs things around here.

Yeah, let's get her.

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

If it isn't Daddy's little princess!

Watch where you're going!

(HORN HONKING) (BRAKES SCREECHING)

Rust, my new boots, dude!

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

Hey, how was the ride?

Fine, I love it here in Michigan.

That's good to know that you-- that you love it.

I don't get it.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

What's he doing here?

(KNOCKING CONTINUES) I'm coming!

Where is she? What?

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on, there!

Rusty says that daughter of yours made him wreck his brand-new truck!

What?

Yeah, she rode her fancy horse right in front of him.

He had to swerve to miss her! She made him hit a tree!

He's a liar! You're a liar!

No! He's a liar!

Him and those other guys tried to run me down!

You tried to run her over?

Why don't we all just sit down and cool off?

Somebody's gotta pay for that truck.

If she says she didn't do it, I believe her!

You can't get away with this! You owe me for a new truck, Duke!

And you don't think you're ever gonna ride again!

I'm going to the rodeo board!

Yeah, I think it's time you leave!

You're not competing in any rodeo! You're done riding, little girl!

My daughter can ride in any rodeo she darn well feels like!

I can?

You're darn right you can!

It's time you two use the door, before I throw you out the window!

Allow me.

This isn't over.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Come in.

Just wanted to say goodnight.

Did you really mean what you said about the rodeo?

Well, it's-- it's against my better judgment, but--

Thank you, Duke!

I'll make you proud.

You already do.

Get some sleep.

You gotta pick up the speed, okay? All right, let's go, come on!

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

You're going too wide. You have to tighten it up.

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

You know what? She wants to go right. All right? Let her go right.

Let her go with her instincts, okay?

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

Hey, uh, maybe next summer we can grab some watermelon?

That's my favorite snack.

Next summer?

Uh, yeah, is that all right with you?

Yeah, I'm all right with that.

Lunch is on! You guys, come eat!

Hungry? Of course.

( SOFT MUSIC CONTINUE )

(SIGHS)

It's so quiet...

it clears a man's head.

It's the kind of place that really gives you a chance to breathe.

You know, your granddaddy got this spread in 1889.

Some people, like the Davenports, don't think he got it in the right way, but--

Is that the reason for the feud?

Yeah, it's gonna keep on going, too.

Ooh, you got-- you got one. You got one.

Whoa, whoa, there you go, there you go.

Okay... oh, yeah.

( MUSIC PLAYIN )

You guys seen Priscilla? No.

Hey, you want a hot dog? Me and mom just cooked some up.

I can't, I gotta go. Wait!

What are you always chasing after him for?

Don't you want a real man?

Why, you know any you can introduce me to?

The only reason Savannah even hangs out with you...

is because your daddy's rich.

Everybody knows that buckle bunny is nothing but trash.

Priscilla?

Priscilla, they're calling your event! Duke's been looking all over for you!

You okay?

Come on! Come on!

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

16.1 for Priscilla Williams!

Putting her in the third place.

Followed by Brooke Douglas in second...

and Savannah Foster in first place.

I won third place... again.

Down feel so down. You're doing real well for your first year.

( MUSIC CHANGE )

Hey, Sage said you were gonna help me with some barrels?

Yep, let's get you around those turns.

Bye, Dad!

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

Priscilla just beat you.

Yeah, I've heard.

She came in second, you came in third.

I said, I've heard!

Hope you don't think you can qualify for the NYR.

No way she'll qualify.

What are they talking about?

If you beat Savannah one more time, you qualify for the finals at the National Youth Rodeo.

Grand.

( OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYIN )

Really startin' to blow out there, Duke.

News says there's a twister coming through.

I'm headin' down to the basement. If you're smart, you're gonna join me.

I'm just gonna head home. You sure? This ain't no weather to be driving in.

I got a girl at home, and a young man I'm responsible for...

so I'm just gonna pay for these and get out of here right now.

Nope, go on, I know you're good for it. Get in your truck and go!

All right, stay safe! You, too!

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

No, no, we gotta get to the basement!

No, I just gotta go check on Lassie!

She'll be just fine!

Well, what if she's not?

Look, there's nothing we can do about that right now!

Look, I can tell something is wrong!

Just let me go check on her!

No, we're going to the basement right now!

(WIND HOWLING)

Priscilla! Priscilla!

Priscilla? Sage!

Oh, you're safe.

Duke, is Lassie okay? Has the tornado passed?

Sage dragged me down here and he wouldn't let me go see Lassie!

Thank you.

Duke! What?

Has the tornado passed?

Yes, but the tornado could come back any minute!

Get back here! Come on!

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

Lassie! Lass--

Duke! Sage! She's not moving!

I knew something was wrong.

She's not moving. What's happening?

She's had colic for a really long time.

Been rollin', probably a twisted intestine by now.

But she's okay, right? She'll be okay.

I don't know, I mean, I could stay with her.

We cannot stay here! The tornado could turn around any minute!

Will she be okay?

Duke! Will she be okay?

She's got a pretty severe case of colic.

But she'll live, right?

Any possible way to get an actual vet out here?

Not with the twister out there runnin' around, there's no way.

Listen, we've gotta get to the basement right now!

But she'll die without us!

This horse is suffering, Duke. We gotta help her.

Son... get my rifle.

No! No! I will not go inside!

I ain't gonna go in, either, sir.

Listen, I'm gonna go monitor the storm.

But if I hear the twister's coming back, I'm grabbing both of you by the collar...

and I'm taking you back to the basement! Understood?

The next 24 hours are crucial, no food, no water.

Let's get her up and get her movin'.

Okay.

( MUSIC PLAYIN )

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

Will she be all right?

It's up to her now.

Just gotta let her rest.

Thanks for not giving up on Lassie.

Lassie!

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

Are you okay? Are you sick?

Oh, no, um--

My therapist says it helps with my fear of failure.

Your therapist?

Yeah, it makes my mother happy.

What do you think?

Well, I'll do it, if it makes her happy.

I've never seen anyone with such riding potential.

Then why am I never first?

You've got it in you. You just need to trust yourself.

( MUSIC FADES UP )

(CAR APPROACHING)

Mother's here!

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

Mother!

Oh, well, you look like quite the cowgirl.

Oh, yeah, Duke says it's good to toughen me up a little bit.

[ABIGAIL] He does, does he?

Hello, Abby!

Duke.

Why don't you come on inside and cool down.

Come on, I'll show you where to park.

All right, dear.

Here you go.

Oh, thank you. Yep.

The place looks good.

You should have seen it before I got here, Mother.

No offense. None taken.

Yes, Priscilla's been a very big help around here.

Yeah, and I've been competing in the rodeo...

and, oh, me and Duke had a pretty big argument...

but he finally conceded.

I should have thought you'd be thrilled she'd won a rodeo.

He was just scared I'd get hurt...

but I might be going to the finals.

Well, that all sounds quite exciting, darling...

and I can't wait to hear more about it later.

Why don't you go check on Lucky Lass, while Duke and I have a chat.

I'm so glad you're here!

Now you can finally see me compete.

My mother is here, but she's having a word inside with Duke right now.

I better stick with you, then.

It appears that Priscilla's been quite happy here.

Yeah. I mean, she's looking forward to the finals and I think she's got a good chance.

I'm proud of her.

Now I really didn't send her here for you to make a cowgirl out of her, did I?

She's been to the finest finishing schools.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

You never really took too kindly towards cowboys, did you?

I do appreciate that you've offered to take her for the summer.

It's just that things haven't worked out quite as I'd expected.

How so?

Apparently, Charles married me for my money.

Oh, well, I'm sorry to hear that.

The thing is, I haven't any, so you can just imagine Charles' disappointment.

Well, what about your trust fund?

Oh, that's barely enough to keep Priscilla and me over water.

And in addition, there's the debt on the horse.

So how much can that be?

$75,000.

So, you can see my predicament.

Now the boarding school has put me in touch with a local sportsman...

and he's agreed to buy the horse.

He should be arriving shortly.

What, just like that?

Well, I'm afraid so.

Priscilla and I will be leaving and heading back to New England tomorrow.

Tomorrow? What about the Nationals?

Rodeo is not in her future.

( SOMBER MUSIC PLAYIN )

That poor kid.

She could probably use some strong arms around her now.

( MUSIC CHANGE )

Hey, kiddo, how are you doing?

How can you let her do this?

My hands are tied. I mean, she's your mother and she's the horse's owner.

You never wanted me. You never did.

That-- that is not true.

Yeah, it is.

Just like when I was a baby.

You could've came after us when the letters were returned.

But you never did, because you're not a real father.

Priscilla, please.

Go away.

I hate you.

What does she expect me to do?

Just stand up to Abigail, and fight for what's right!

Well, I tried!

Did you?

We both know that if you think you can't make it to the finish line, you bail out.

Well, now you're not making any sense!

You didn't quit competing because of your injuries, Duke.

My leg was crushed!

I've seen boys ride with broken legs.

Sage's friend Caleb lost a leg in a car accident.

And he rides bulls with one leg.

You quit because you couldn't be number one anymore.

Oh, now I know how you really feel about me.

I guess you do.

You still have time to change how I feel about you.

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

(ENGINE STARTING)

What's he doing here?

He's the buyer.

I think you'll find everything in order.

You've acquired a fine mare, Mr. Davenport.

I'm sure you'll be quite pleased with her performance.

She'll earn her keep.

Good move.

The man's as crooked as two barrels of snakes.

Hey, girl, we gotta be real brave now, both of us.

But I'll find you. They can't keep us away forever.

No.

No, it can't be!

You just might hurt my feelings with that kind of talk.

You can't let him take her. You can't!

Your mom's already got the check in her hand.

That's my horse now.

No, no, don't whip her!

It's my horse, I'll whip her if I want to.

Okay, that's enough!

Put that whip down. Put the horse in the trailer.

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

Lassie!

Come back!

Priscilla, hon, I'm so sorry, but I didn't have a choice.

This is so it has to be.

Come on, now, sweetheart, it's time to go.

Please, Priscilla?

Come on, Priscilla, it'll be okay.

It'll be okay.

( SOMBER MUSIC FADES U )

You have to eat.

[PRISCILLA] I'm never gonna eat again.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

I can see you in there!

You can't just let her go like this!

Fine! Fire me if you want, I don't care!

I'm just gonna say it!

You're a quitter, Duke! You've been a quitter your whole darn life!

If the bathroom is where you want to sleep, fine. I'm going to bed.

I'm glad Charles left you.

I'll forgive you for that.

( SOFT MUSIC FADES UP )

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

( MUSIC CHANGE )

( SOFT MUSIC CONTINUE )

Hook up the trailer, we're gonna go get our horse.

Yes, sir.

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

Who'd a thought you'd give up that 100 acres for a horse.

I'm finding out that there are some things more important in life.

See you in my office later to sign the papers?

Yeah, I gave you my word.

Let's go get her.

Welcome to the Davenport Ranch.

Bet you haven't seen anything like this before.

Pretty nice.

Scott! Clean out stall four, again!

Yes, sir, Mr. Davenport.

Looks like my idiot son did it.

Jon, I told you to close down the pool yesterday. Get on it!

Surrounded by incompetence.

Hey--

Scott! Jon!

Where's Lucky Lass?

What are you looking at? Where is the horse?

Dang gum it!

Rusty!

I bet that bonehead knows something about it.

Rusty! Rusty, get out here!

Lucky Lass is missing. You know anything about it?

No! She must have stole her!

Oh, now wait just a darn minute.

Rusty, slow down.

Duke, maybe you better check to see just where your daughter is.

Yeah, it's a good idea.

Yes, yeah, of course, no, I'll keep you posted.

Priscilla went missing during the night.

She's a horse thief! That's what she is!

You better keep your comments in check, boy.

You can't tell me-- Rusty, this isn't the time!

I'm heading back to the ranch. I'm gonna see if she's there.

I'll go with you.

Now you stay put, in case they come back here.

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

[DUKE] Sage! Yeah.

Is Priscilla here?

Here? No, why would she be here?

She and Lassie are both missing.

I called Laura Mae, she's not over there, either.

I-- I just have no idea where she could have gone.

I think I do! Follow me! Follow me!

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

Looks like I caught me a horse thief!

You know what we do to horse thieves, don't you?

You can't have her! She's my horse!

You think you can steal my horse and get away with it?

I'll show you, you spoiled, little-- Stop!

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

Come on!

Hey, hey, hey! That's enough! Sage, let him go!

He tried to kill Sage!

He attacked me first, and then Sage came in and tackled him!

But when Rusty started to lose, he grabbed the pitch fork and he tried to kill him!

Is that right, boy?

She's nothing but a horse thief!

I'm calling the sheriff right now.

Pa, I had noth--

You shut up! You're in a heap of trouble already!

I assure you, I do not condone this behavior!

This will be made right. He will be punished.

If I see his face within 100 miles of this county...

I'm puttin' him in jail!

Consider it done!

Dad!

Quiet, boy!

Come on! Stay quiet, you idiot! What is the matter--

Ow! Shut up!

What were you thinking?

I shouldn't have run away, but I couldn't just let them take Lassie.

I'm just glad you're okay.

Come on, let's get out of here.

I'll ride Lassie back to the ranch.

Thank you.

She's fine... she's fine.

You should have seen Sage. He saved my life.

Came to make sure your daughter was all right, and to give my apologies.

I can see now, I underestimated how much she loves that horse.

Still, my only choice is to sell.

That's not necessarily true.

That is if we still have a deal.

You know that land is more important to me than some old horse.

You're selling your family's land?

We got plenty of land, besides, you're my family.

That's very generous of you, Duke.

See you at the closing.

Yeah.

You sure know how to make a girl swoon.

Wow.

I don't know what to say.

Not a thing, darling, not a thing.

Because nothing's gonna make me happier than seeing you compete at the Nationals.

The Nationals?

Oh, come on, you're not gonna make her go home now?

Well, I suppose if you can give up 100 acres of sacred land...

I can concede to stay a few more weeks in this desolate state.

We're going to the Finals!

You're mine... all mine.

I think he loves us.

Good luck tomorrow.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for what Rusty did to you. I knew what he was like all along.

I just-- I didn't want to know, you know?

His daddy sent him away to military school.

It's no big deal, I got a new boyfriend now, a college guy.

Congrats.

Well, good luck at the Finals tomorrow.

You, too, Priscilla, you done real good this year.

You took some wonderful pictures of Priscilla today.

She's a beautiful girl.

Now I see where she got her good looks from.

Thank you.

Well, I think I'll head back to the hotel.

Uh, we got plenty of beds right here on the trailer.

Oh, no, I think I'll stick with the hotel.

I'll see you tomorrow.

It's a very good cake you made, Laura Mae.

Thank you.

She's not so bad, Duke. Ha!

Her ways may be different from ours, but she's a good mother.

You are a kind person, Laura Mae.

I've been thinking, maybe--

Maybe you and me should make this a full-time thing.

Are you suggesting what I think you are?

I am.

If you think that was a sufficient proposal, than you are mighty thick.

Well, gosh-darn, woman, can't you just accept it for the way I'm asking you?

The way I see it, we're only going to do this once in our lifetime...

and I want it done right.

I suppose you want me to get down on my bad knee and--

Well, it would be nice, but I won't make you do that.

What would you say if you did?

Well, I'd say, uh--

Laura Mae...

no one my whole life has stood by me the way you have.

You've had faith in me, even when I didn't have faith in myself.

You brought out the real man inside of me.

And I would be mighty honored to have you as my wife...

to make our family whole.

So, will you have me?

Yes.

Did that come out right?

There's just one thing.

What?

I didn't make that cake, I bought it.

I knew that.

Of course, you did.

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

I can't beat that.

Of course, you can.

Think I'm gonna be sick.

You can do this.

I don't want to disappoint you.

Darlin', there's nothing in the world you could do to disappoint me.

Well, what if I lose?

Now you listen, there was a time when I thought the rodeo was everything.

That the rodeo was what made me a man.

I'm not much in soft words, but you brought a joy into my life that I never knew.

Because of you, I see what's really important...

and it ain't winning no darn rodeo.

You want to walk away, then that's fine, you just say the word...

but if you want to do this, I'm here.

I'm here for you.

I love you, Daddy.

I love you, too, darlin'.

Okay... what's it gonna be?

Let's ride.

Now that's my girl.

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

Come on, Priscilla!

Come on.

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

ANNOUNCER (OVER P.A.): Priscilla Williams has done it, folks!

12.928!

She is in first place and she is your champion!

I suppose you're gonna be too busy at school for a part-time job.

Yeah, probably, but I'd sure like to come back next summer if you'll have me.

Your job will be waiting.

Well, I should get back to the hotel.

Priscilla, I'll pick you up in the morning.

Yeah, I'll-- I'll see you out.

Well, Abby-- Duke--

Yeah, you first.

I hope you can forgive me for keeping you and Priscilla apart all these years.

I didn't know about the letters.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Look, that's-- that's in our past.

I'd really like her to come back next summer.

And maybe you and Laura Mae could come for the holidays.

You think that New England's gonna take a liking to an old cowboy like me?

Think it's about time we had a little change, don't you think?

Abby!

You know, she's a pretty-- pretty great girl.

You must have done something right.

So, I suppose they'll keep you pretty busy at vet school?

They say a Vet Med degree is harder than an M.D.

So you won't have any time to write any letters.

Who would I write to anyway?
