Previously onWildfire:There's someone I want to hire.

She's one of the girls from Camp Lagrange I work with.

Mr. Betart says that he is prepared to offer you a job plus room and board

at the Raintree Thoroughbred Farm.

Who is she? Hot working girl living in a trailer?

I've never met someone like you before. I could really care about you.

I don't know what pisses me off more: the fact that you broke our deal and went out with her

or the fact that you lied about it.

You want to end our friendship, be my guest. May the best man win.

I want to find our mother. You don't want me to. Why?

Are you Isabel Mattia?I have to go.

I'm your daughter!Damn it!

Please don't go. Please don't go!

I'm Isabel. I'm your mother.You saw our mother.

My mother, not yours.

I like you!Molly, I'm just not into you.

This is Tina. Tina, Kris Furillo.Tina Sharp is riding for us.

She's the best jockey on the West Coast, so she's our best choice.

If you want to grab something to eat, I'm--Starving.

You have a problem with Tina?I have a problem with you.

If you want to choose Tina, Matt, choose Tina.

What were you talking to Junior about?What I do and who I talk to

is my business, it's definitely not yours.

I see you.

What are you doing?Remembering this.

I'm looking for a way back here, Jean.

I went down the road with you, and it ended.

I made a few bad bets.You're out of control, and you need to stop it now.

Oh, my God!You got to call Pete. If you don't, I will.

What is it you want?My money.

This ought to put an end to that.

You paid that off?I'm gonna give you the rest back with interest.

You stole our jockey! Why would you do that to my family?

What are you talking about?You stole Tina Sharp, and you did it behind my back!

Man, oh, man, this Kris girl's got you really hoppin', doesn't she?

I won't let him come between us. If I have to choose between him or you, I choose you!

I can't st... I can't stand any more!

We're hiring you.Thank you!

They're almost there now-- the last two runners to go.

Avatar and Wildfire are ready in the gate.

They're all set to go. And they're off. There they go.

Come on, Kris!

Come on! Come on! Down the backstretch they go...

It's Wildfire out in front.

Go!

Push it to the front!Push it farther! We're out of here!

And it's Wildfire in the lead!

Wildfire is...

Come on, baby!Go. Come on, boy.

Avatar and Wildfire...

Come on. Come on!Go! Go!

Come on! Come on!

Go, Wildfire, go!

Avatar coming up at the wire,

and it's Avatar!

That was dirty.

Wildfire had it, you let it go.

Tina, this is the most exciting sandpiper we've seen in a long time.

What was the deciding moment for you?

Uh, the moment I signed on to ride the horse.

Avatar won by half a length. It could have easily gone the other way.

Well, it went their way.

We lost 'cause I let Tina distract me.

What did she do?She yelled roll up to Wildfire,

and I don't know if he recognized her voice

or if I freaked out.

Oh, she knows the horse.

She knows you too. There must be something on camera.

There's no violations. It's your word against hers.

But she cheated.

You rode a good race.

You broke out of the pack real clean.

You even looked to the right, went to move outside.

I saw it happen.

You thought with your ears and your legs and your hands.

Tina knew you were in a groove, so she made you think

with your brain instead of your gut for 2 seconds.

Long enough for me to lose it.Now you know Tina's game.

Of course I wanted to win, but 2 great horses, 2 great riders...

I can't wait to do it again, because I happen to know

that I have the best horse and the best rider.

What do you think about that, Kris?Well, the horse part's true.

I just don't know about the rider.

Oh, no. Kris, you were amazing.

I think that there's a lot of fans out there that will agree with Miss Ritter.

You are such a pain in my butt.

Why are they even talking to you? You lost.

She lost!

Morons.

So I'll see you at my place later on this evening, right?The owners' party.

No, actually, I have to catch a flight to New York.

Well, you can change that. I'm planning a big toast for you.

Well, then don't let me stop you. I'll tell you what.

I will grab a glass of champagne at Pastis,

and I will toast to you too.

You know where to send the check, right?Right.

Well, that was some day, huh? Putting it mildly.Whew!

Yeah, I wish we would have won, though.Yeah, me too,

but a race like that, your heart's pounding,

blood's rushing to your head, your knees are weak--

Hey, Jean, mind if I take Todd for a burger or something?Please?

I'm starving!Well, if you're starving.

Drop him off at Ken's afterward, okay? We have that owners' thing.

Do I have to go to that?Yes.

He could bunk at my place tonight. I mean, if you--

Oh,yeah, I guess.Good. Let's go.

Hey, hey!

See you tomorrow. Pete,

thank you for helping Matt.

It was the least I could do.

I should have stepped up before, but--

I'll see you guys later.

I haven't seen him like that for years.

I mean, normal.People change.

Maybe.

He did get his son out of trouble, and

he didn't ask me for the money.

Well, I'm glad he didn't.

But Todd's gonna have a great time with his father.

And I get you all to myself.

Hey.

Whoa.

It's not what you expect a jock to look like after a race.

Oh, yeah? Not even Tina Sharp?She's not in there, is she?

If she were, I might have punched her out.

For winning?For cheating. She talked to Wildfire.

There's no law against free speech.Why is everyone so calm?

Because it's just a horse race. There's nothing you can do about what happened.

So you go out, you have a drink, and you kick her ass the next time.

You want a ride to the party?

Sure.

So, how do I look?

Um, like you were lying face-up in the back stretch.

Whatever. They're not gonna notice me now.

♪♪

It's just incoherent.

It's not... It's not worth it.

Dear Danni, you will always be my sister.

half-sister? Don't you forget that.

But by the time you read this, I will...

be gone.

I'm gonna try to do what our father said:

Try it without the Porsche.

Oh, I can't believe it. What are you doing here?

Listen, Molly, I kind of just need to sit quietly and wait for my bus.

Where's your car?

Forget the car.That's a hard thing to forget.

Okay, here's the deal. I'm moving out of my father's house.

I plan to make my own money.

Why? I thought he had enough for you all to scrape by on.

Yeah, well, I have to figure out why

all I seem to be is some rich guy's son.

Because you are some rich guy's son.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Ashlee Simpson has a new album.

You want to make out?Oh, my God. Where's the bus?

♪♪

Hey.

Where's your microphone?Left it at home.

Like I could hide it in this dress.

We're strictly off the record here.

Come. Buy me a drink.They're free.

Great. Then buy me two.

Come on.

What am I gonna do?Thank them.

Kris did okay.

If she sticks with it, she's gonna win some races for you.

Yeah, well, you're the one who gave her the chance by stealing Tina Sharp from us.

What can I do to make up for it? Can I take you out to dinner?

How about a rematch?

I don't think so. Not right now. I'm gonna fast-track Avatar.

Step up his training. What about Wildfire?

Probably fast-track him too, but I have to talk to Pablo about it.

Hey, where are Danni and Junior? I haven't seen them anywhere today.

Um, they're probably on their way. You know kids.

Kerry Connelly, K & J Sports Management.

You heard of us?uh-uh.

That's Kerry Connelly talking to Kris. What do you think he wants?

Well, 10% of her endorsement revenue-- what he always want.

What endorsement revenue? She just ran her first race.

If she signs with him, she's gonna have endorsement revenue. Believe me.

Watch out he doesn't snake your jockey.He can't do that.

Does happen, you know.

I just want to tell you I think you're great. Absolutely great.

Thanks.Maybe you already have representation.

Um, representation for?

Sports? Entertainment? Endorsements?

Here. I handle the bookings and I watch your back.

Keep away the greying hounds of the press.The press doesn't care about me.

Oh, don't be silly. They do. And they will.

You did a good job out there.Thank you.

Connelly, working the room?Always. Congratulations on your win.

You wouldn't happen to know where my son is, would you?

No, I wouldn't.

Is his son the, uh, guy you keep looking for?

Huh? No. I'm sorry.

I'm just, very distracted.

But, uh, thanks for saying, um...

I'm sorry. What were you saying?

Here's my card.

Mr. Connelly.Kerry. And call me.

If you don't, I'll call you.

Hey, there, Danni, dumpling!

I've been looking for your pretty face all night.

Well, here it is, okay?

Ah, here comes darling Dad,

the man with 2 wives, if that's what they were.

Anybody here know anything about that?

No? Well, neither did I.

Come on, Danni. Time to go home.No, it isn't. I just got here.

I want to see you gloating and showing off what a winner you are.

Well, come on! Make a toast!

Toss a few people around!Gonna turn yourself around...

And around and around and around...Danni--

Matt. You want to kick my father's ass?

Maybe you people think that my father

is a moral force in this community,

but his kids are a mess!

As you can see, I am not at my best.

All right. That's more than enough.You think?

I would have thought that it was more than enough to hide who our mothers are

and to let that bitch Isabel humiliate me!

Do not embarrass yourself.I'm not finished embarrassing you!

Okay.Dad!

Everything's all right. Just a little too much celebrating, that's all.

Please, enjoy yourselves.

Going outside, okay?

You want me to walk you to the house?

All right, Matt. I'll take it from here. Thanks.

And do what? Use some more of your finely honed parenting skills?

Read that.

Hey, have you seen Junior? And what's this about 2 mothers?

I really don't care.Yes, you do.

Junior's our friend, and last time I saw him, he was pretty upset.

Why?It doesn't matter.

We should go talk to him. Where do you think he went?

Danni Davis seemed pretty freaked out.

Maybe he canceled her credit card.

Do you want to go somewhere?

Thank you for sending him back in.

It didn't seem like the best time for you two to talk.

I-I didn't know that Isabel wasn't your mother.

When you were born, you were living in San Francisco,

and your father came back with you and Junior.

All we knew was that Isabel had left him.

What happened?

There must be a good explanation. Do you want me to ask him?

That's okay. I can handle it myself.

I'm just so mad, though. I could just...

I don't know. My head aches.

I drank too much.Yeah. I know.

Danni, don't hurt yourself, huh?

It'll just postpone you dealing with whatever it was

that happened in the past.

You know I'm here for you.

Thank you.

What are you looking for, anyway?I don't know.

I thought maybe we could find him hiding out and give him a hard time,

and I can go home.

You guys got pretty close, huh?I told him that we couldn't be together.

Did you... break up with Junior because of the Sandpiper?

I... did it because...

he hurt you and your family, and that's the same thing that's hurting me.

Mm. That's probably pretty messed up.

I'll call him.

Look, I appreciate the ride, but I've got a lot to do.

Who's that?An ex-friend.

No answer.

We can ask Pablo if he saw Junior at the track.Wouldn't hurt to ask.

Okay, let's go.

Can I buy you dinner now, since you're poor?

I'm not poor. I went to town.

I've got a safe-deposit box filled with valuable stuff.

Oh, God, I left it on my desk.What?

A key to the box.Mr. Davis, how can I help you?

He isn't Mr. Davis anymore.Then who is he?

Just Junior, I guess.

There can't be a Junior unless there's a Senior.

Boy, you really are in a mess.

Pablo's light's on. He's still up.

Shouldn't you knock first?He never locks the door.

Pablo, you decent?

No, I'm not decent.

Sorry.

Maybe Junior'll answer now.

I'm concerned, Danni. That was quite a scene out there.

It doesn't matter what I was saying, right?No, it does.

And I want to talk to you about your mother. And Junior's

Don't bother. All you do is lie about it.You want to know the truth?

I felt so bad and guilty about the way I treated your mother,

I could hardly look at you for the longest time.

But if you think that means I didn't love you, you're wrong.

What, am I supposed to feel sorry for you?No.

No, and I'm gonna make it up to you, and you're smart enough to take advantage of that,

unlike your brother, who's just throwing his life away.

What do you mean, he's throwing his life away?He's starting in with that girl.

What is wrong with you?

This is insane. Didn't you ever have a girlfriend?

Oh, it's more than that.

I almost ruined my life once chasing the same kind of infatuation.

I risked everything on a girl who took my soul... and disappeared.

My mother?

But weren't you married to my mother?

You can't be married when you think you're in love with somebody else.

You don't understand.Because you're wrong.

No, because you can't see beyond tomorrow. And once you do,

you'll have squandered everything I've busted my ass to give you,

your family, your security, your lifetime of privilege.

You want to live your life over? Do it yourself.

Let me live mine.

Okay.

Good luck. You'll be back soon.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Look, please don't go. With what he just said,

what am I... what am I supposed to do with that?Come with me.

That's not the answer for me.

You won't disappear, will you?What? No.

I'll give you a call as soon as I get a place.

Get some rest, okay?Mm-hmm.

You can go out the front door now.

Right. Car is out front.Whoa!

I thought you were trying it without the Porsche.It's in my name.

One last day of love between a man and his

miracle of German precision engineering,

and then she goes to the highest bidder.

Good night.

Night.

Did you beat this guy up?It was his other girlfriend.

Was Junior Davis in here tonight?I'd say, "yes",

but he said he wasn't. He was with that little blonde with the voice.

Molly Blitzer. He definitely wasn't himself.

What else did he say?Nothing that made sense to me.

I asked what he wanted, he said he wasn't hungry, then he went out back while the girl waited.

Never came back. Must have gone out through the kitchen.

He just left her?Crazy, huh?

It was Molly.So, what can I get you?

Uh, it's okay. We're not hungry.

Let's call Molly.Do you have her cell number?

So who would?Um...

He would.

Molly's brother.

So, why would I give you my sister's phone number?

Last time she was at your house, she--Uh, no.

It's not about a party like that.

Really? What's it about?

Something really fun and very chaperoned.

Yeah, because it's a party of all girls, and it's in the daytime.

Which I can't even go to.Yeah, because

we are gonna discuss what to do about Britney Spears.What...

can you do about Britney Spears?

Well, we don't know. That's why we're having a meeting.

So, if I could get Molly's number...

Well,

all right.

Molly, Matt Ritter.

Fine, how are you? Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm. Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. Well, when you saw Junior Davis--

He... Hello?

M-Molly?

She hung up.

He did walk out the back door.Does it all the time.

You know when you said you got in a fight with Junior?

So did I.

Right then I was so mad at the guy,

I threw him against the wall.

Not Tina?

It's not just about her.Are you still angry now?

It's been a long time. I don't know.

Can't we all just let it be over?

Can Junior?I hope so.

Morning.

Hello?

Matt?

Kris?

Kris, are you...

Hey.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Can you give me a minute?I'm so sorry...

Did you ever think about investing in a lock?

Oh, God!

I am really, really sorry.

Have you seen Kris or Matt? I can't find them anywhere.Not since last night.

At the party? Here?Just for a minute.

Did they say--We didn't talk.

They probably went back out. After a big race, people stay up all night partying.

Well, why would they do that?Why did you?

Good morning.Morning.

Anna, could you give us a couple minutes alone, please?

Listen, um,

your mother-- um...

Isabel and I had been married about a year.

She was, um,

pregnant with Junior.

But we weren't getting along.

And, uh, that's when I met your mother.

The soul-killing bitch?I didn't say that.

She's from El Salvador.

Friends got her a job training horses for my father.

She had passion. How touching.

Danni, you are cold.

I studied with the master.

Sit down, would you?

I took Isabel to San Francisco to save the marriage.

That's where Junior was born.

Then your mother came to see me.Name.

Does she have a name, or did you forget it?Marisol Deas Eliva.

She came to San Francisco because, um...

'cause she was... pregnant.

You big stud. Who'd have guessed?

Do you want to hear the rest of this or not?

I didn't think it'd work out. We were too different.

So I gave her money to disappear.

Pretty classy, huh?

She was disgusted. She threw the money in my face and left.

Sometime after you were born, she contacted me again.

She wanted me to come down and see you.

I remember, um, going through this train station,

and I was gonna tell her that I made a big mistake.

When I saw her there with you,

and she put you in my arms...

Then when I looked up, she was gone.

She... She didn't want me?

No. Danni, you were everything to her. She loved you.

It killed her to give you up.

She sacrificed her happiness so that you'd have

the kind of life that you deserve.

At least she trusted me that much.

I want to make it up to you, baby.

You know, I didn't see it before, but I know

that you've got the guts and the instincts to run Davis Farms on your own one day.

If you work hard and show me you care, and--

And if your son doesn't saunter in through the front door and you change your mind!

I've just told you the darkest secret of my life.

How can you not trust me?Because of what that secret is.

Well, you tell me what more I can do.

Why does my mom always take so long to get ready?

That is a question you will ask about every woman you meet.

You will never know the answer.

You want some orange juice before we go?My stomach doesn't feel so good.

Too much fun yesterday?It was worth it.

Do you like my dad?

I-I like... how happy you are to see him.

So you don't like him?I didn't say that.

I'll get it.

Hi there.Hi.

Is your mom home?

I thought that since you're Kris's legal guardian,

I should speak with you before I approach her.

Actually, you have to speak with me before you approach Kris.

That's true.

I think we have a common interest here.

We both want to see Kris fulfill the astonishing potential the world saw at the Sandpiper.

Now, she needs to broaden her horizons,

meet with the owners and the trainers of the bigger farms.

And we both know that I can raise her profile.

Do you even care if she's ready to have it raised?

We're talking about a young woman here

who's never had a stable home until now.

I understand that.I don't think you do. I know Kris,

and she needs some time to grow into what was

started at the Sandpiper.

You can fast-track a horse.

You cannot fast-track a young woman.

Jean, I don't mean to sound rude,

I really don't, but

maybe you're just trying to keep her under your wing.

Yeah. Of course I do. That's where she belongs.

I'm not saying forever. Look, I know if I say no to you,

Kris is gonna think that I deprived her of a chance that's never gonna come again.

So?

So...

I'll give her the right to decide. Go make your pitch to her.

I hope she says no,

but if she says yes, you have to work with me.

That sounds fair.It's more than fair.

Okay.

We'll talk again?Yes, we will.

Thank you.

Give me something of my own--

the pick of 4 horses from the racing stable.

You pay their expenses for a year, and if by that time

I haven't been able to pay you back, the horses are yours again.

But if I've made good, I can either join Davis Farms as a partner

or leave with my stock.

Where did you come up with this?My mother gave me up

because she had nothing to depend on.

That won't happen to me.I won't let that happen to you.

You let it happen to her.

You said that you wanted to make it up to me. Will you take my deal?

1 horse.4.

No, that's too much for you.It isn't. 3 horses. 2.

Nope. 1. That's my final offer.

Look, I don't have to make this deal.My choice.

Avatar excluded.Done.

Done. Look, I've got to catch a plane to Lexington in about an hour.

When I get back, we'll work out the details, all right?

Good.

Hello.

No, he's on a flight. This is Danielle, though. Can I help you?

What?

Do you want to leave him a message?

How bout...

I'll call him as soon as his plane lands, okay?

Do you want me to call my mom?No.

Just take me back to your house, and I'll figure it out there.

Hey, guys. Listen, I'll call you as soon as we find something, okay? I promise.

If you want to go...

Let's go inside, guys.

Why do I ever leave you?

Why did I ask him to go away?

Why did I do that?

You never think that you won't get another chance,

and then sometimes you don't.

How am I supposed to know that?

Know what?

What's wrong?You...

I thought you were dead in... in the c-car.

Well, that's dead.

Hey, hey. I'm here.

I'm fine.

It's a convertible. I landed in the water.

Look. There's not a scratch on me.

It's me.

How could you do that to me? How could you do that to your sister and to Matt?

Oh, my God. Are they gonna slap me too?

God!

All I thought was I'd go road-test that Porsche

on every possible surface before I sold it... I didn't have the chance.

That's so stupid. There's so much mud back there.

I know. Especially since I wanted to sell it.

Maybe you were afraid you wouldn't be able to, so you wrecked it.

Thanks, Dr. Phil, but I need the money.So what are you gonna do?

What I do best-- give parties. I went downtown

this morning and found a totally cool raw space.

I got it for almost nothing. I'll send out flyers, call everybody.

This is my talent. Now they'll just have to pay to benefit from it.

And you can deejay.Are you moving home?

I'll rent.

I don't think you're gonna be able to finance everything that you want to do.

It's one of those credit card things.One of many.

They come in my name. They are mine an mine alone,

and, thanks to the stellar credit rating established by Kenneth Davis Sr.,

I have a sky-high spending limit.

Add that to the money I have in the bank-- How are you gonna pay bills?

I told you, I'm opening a business. And the first party's next Saturday night,

and I want you all to be there.

You guys want to go see the space?

So is this what you mean by trying it without the Porsche ?

Everything had to go.

As of now, I start fresh.

So let's go!

Guys, um,

another time.

I'll see you guys later.

Hey. What's wrong?

Just everything that you talked about.

Why are you going about it like this?Why do you think?

You were right, my father did control everything. That's over.

So you decide to get a raw space and drive really fast and wreck a car?

It was kind of a full day.You didn't even ask me if I won the Sandpiper.

I heard the news. You lost by half a length. Sorry.

You weren't even there. You were too busy sticking it to your dad.

Because of you.I can't. I just can't deal with this.

I... You know, me losing the race,

and then you saying you left home because of me-- it's too much.

Kris--No, I can't.

I just-- I can't.

I mean, you said you wanted to start over, and

maybe you're right-- you should.

And when, you're free and clear... maybe.

Okay.

You're right.

We'll wait.

Uh...

yeah, come in.

Hi.Hi.

I tried to call, but you weren't listed.

Yeah--

Sorry, there's not a lot of places to sit.

That's fine. I won't be long.

Kris, I came here

because I see something in you that you may not see in yourself.

You're beautiful, you're charming

and you're talented.

You have a chance to succeed on every level of sports and entertainment.

What are you talking about? I just want to be a jockey.

And, you know, in case you didn't notice, I lost the Sandpiper.

Ah, that's almost better for you. You and that horse

are the most sympathetic characters to come along since Lance Armstrong.

Yeah, Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France 7 times.

That's not the point.

You lost that race because Tina Sharp pulled some kind of dirty trick.

How do you know that?People talk.

She let your stable down, and she switched horses for money.

Didn't go unnoticed.

What did she do to you out on the track?She...

H-How do you even know that?

I know Tina. I used to represent her.

She dumped me.

Hmm.Look,

I can open up a world for you,

and I can make sure that you're secure and safe inside it, I promise.

Nobody can make an offer like that.

How do you know? Has anybody ever made it before?

I gotta fly back to L.A. tonight, but I'll be back in about a week or so.

Will you think about it?

Will you?

Yeah. I will.

Good.
