Previously onWildfire...

When I make a connection with a person

who feels just like me,

now suddenly you don't need anyone else.

Want some company tonight?That's not part of the deal.

I just need a place to crash.

I'm sort of homeless and penniless.

I spent the start-up money that my dad gave me.

You need a new jockey.

I can't ride for you. I ride for Raintree.

Not exclusively.

I need you to do something.

Dani needs a decent jockey.

I want you to take the job.

Here's the race program for next Saturday, and your fee.

They switched Picaro into the afternoon race.

I'm racing against Wildfire?

Looks like he's favoring his right front.

We race in two days.

I'm not gonna run him if he's not 100%.

Doesn't the owner make the final decision?We're racing.

Something wrong?No.

And they're off!

Go, Picaro!

Come on, Kris.Go, Picaro!

I knew Wildfire was in trouble.

I had to look back.

Wildfire leapt over me and saved my life.

Picaro's in critical condition.

He broke his cannon bone.

How's Wildfire?He overreached.

Took a big chunk out of his coronet.

You buted Picaro without telling me.

You really think that I would risk Kris' life

having her ride a buted horse?Who did it?

You buted Picaro. I know that it was you.

You're right, I did.

Picaro broke his leg. Why do you keep saying it was all your fault?

Do you know something I don't?

No, I--I don't.

I never meant to hurt you.

I am so sorry.

Listen to me. We are running out of time,

and I've heard enough excuses.

No, I don't care

what you thought was gonna happen.

You're gonna get me out of this mess, do you hear me?

I am not going down

for a stupid mistake like this.

Well, you better.

This is Isabelle. Leave a message.

Isabelle.

Mom?

Hey.

Uh, oh, I'm sorry I missed you.

I thought you'd be back in New York by now,

but I guess you're still over in Italy.

I'm moving.

Uh, actually, I'm kind of in-between places right now,

but, uh, I'll have to give you a call

with my new numbers and everything.

I hope everything's going good.

Bye.

I knew Wildfire was in trouble.

I had to look back.

Wildfire...

Wildfire...

...never meant to hurt you.

Hey, Kris, news.

All that time you put into rehab paid off.

Doc Schuler said his coronet has healed perfectly.

Yep. Vet said he's ready to trot and canter.

Are you sure? It seems a little too soon.

You got to take it easy,

but vet has no worries, so grab your saddle.

No. He's only been hand-walked.

I mean, he's gonna be sky-high.

I'd rather just lunge him.

Vet said tight circles are no good.

You got to ride him, Kris.

No. He's gonna start bucking and take off

and get hurt all over again.

I'm the one who slept by his stall and iced him around the clock.

I don't think that he's ready.

Hmm. Maybe I should go talk to her.

She's using her injury as an excuse not to ride.

Hi.

She doesn't want to ride?

Its not her ribs. It's her head.

Well, the Breeders Invitational

is just a few weeks off.

I've been trying to get a spot in the race.

If we start conditioning him now, he'll be ready.

What if Kris isn't?I think maybe she needs a couple days off,

get her head out of horses.

She needs to ride right now.

I think being around horses reminds her of the accident.

Uh, in this case, I think Pablo's right.

Wildfire needs Kris and Kris needs Wildfire. They have to heal each other.

Gosh, she's not a horse.

She's a girl, and she needs a break.

Talking about a couple of days.

And we're talking about the rest of her life.

She doesn't ride now, she may never ride again.

How's the boy?

Better. He ate all his meds.

Listen, Matt--

Yeah, I know.

I haven't been sleeping much, either.

Oh, he's gonna be fine.

He'll probably make somebody

a top-notch pleasure horse.

Probably win a bunch of blue ribbons.

Kris is still pretty torn up, though.

You should see her. She looks like hell.

She'll get over it.

Racing board ruled in her favor.

End of story.

No, it doesn't matter what the racing board said.

She still thinks it's her fault

that Picaro broke down.

You know, I think we owe it to her to set her straight.

Did you ever find out who buted Picaro?

I said I'd tell her when I know, and I will.

Why don't you trust me?

I trust that you'll do the right thing.

Otherwise...

I'll have to do it.

No.

It's my responsibility.

I'm the owner.

I'll talk to her.

When are you gonna start working with Ishmael again?

He's my last hope for the Breeders Invitational.

Dani, I got some business to take care of.

I'll be back when I can.

Another horse to drug, forest to pollute,

small nation to topple?

Dani--You've really messed things up for me.

I need you to do something for me.

What now?

Find Junior, meet me back here, okay?

Why?Just do it.

Dad, wait. What's going on?

Danielle...

I love you.

I know you've gone through a rough time,

but I'm here to help you get through it.

What if I don't, Kerry?

What if I never ride again?

Well...

you're not just a client to me.

You're something much more important.

You got to know that.

I like you.

I really like you.

I just feel like I'm in a fishbowl.

I mean, it's bad enough

that I'm known as the accident-prone girl jockey.

I just don't want to be known as the--

Accident-prone girl jockey who's dating her agent.

Kris...

whatever this turns into,

now, I promise we'll be discreet.

I will never put you

in a position that makes you uncomfortable.

I hope you know that.

Let's go out later--

something completely un-horse-related.

A surprise.

Sure.

There you go.

It's the kind of resounding enthusiasm

a guy likes to see.

Come here.

Kris?

Uh...

come in.

Am I interrupting?

No. Kerry's just leaving.

I'll see you later.

And, uh, Jean.

I know he thinks it would be great

if you were riding in the Breeders.

Stupid race.

I'm sorry. That came out wrong.

I couldn't agree more.

Who needs those snobby breeders

and their invitation-only race anyway?

With a half-million-dollar purse.

This farm...

and this partnership--

me, Pablo, Wildfire, and you--

it's not about money.

If it were, I'd subdivide the ranch

and build a bunch of houses

instead of breeding difficult, neurotic,

hay-burning thoroughbreds.

Speaking of which,

Pablo can really use some help

with Belladonna.

Oh, that crazy mare's even meaner

than before she got knocked up.

Yeah? You'd be mean too

if you were carrying a 150-pound alien in your belly.

So I put Belladonna in the far pasture.

What are you doing with Wildfire?

Vet says he needs to be ridden.

You're not gonna do it, I will.

I can ride, you know.

I know, but--

But nothing. Got to be done.

Whoa, whoa.

Whoa.He's not ready.

No, he's ready, but it's got to be you.

He needs you.

Uh, I'll try.

I can't. I can't.

Okay, okay. Listen, I'm sorry.

I pushed you. I'm sorry.

No, it's...

You're worried about getting Wildfire ready

for the Breeders.

I am too.

He'll get there.

I have another idea.

Think maybe we can stop at Davis Ranch?

We can water Wildfire,

and you can see Picaro too. He's doing really good.

Well, I don't want to be there very long, okay?

Okay.

Dani.

Matt, thank God you're here.

Take my car and get Junior.

Dani, what is it?

My dad's in some kind of trouble. Please?

Yeah. Here.

Thanks for hanging out

until Matt gets back with Junior.

No problem.

What's with your dad, anyway?

If you don't mind me asking.

Money problems. He's not saying much,

but I know it had to be serious.

He sold Avatar.

He sold Avatar?

He didn't even tell me.

I showed up and Avatar was gone.

One of the farmhands clued me in.

And then there was what happened with the race.

I'm sure what happened with Picaro didn't help.

It's not good.

Those guys that were out there,

they're Federal agents.

Hey, what's up?

Nice of you to finally show up.

I've only called you ten times.

No can do when you lose your cell phone.

You mean when your cell phone's cut off

for not paying your bill.

Where'd you find him, Matt?

Cleaning toilets at Bobby's club?

What's with the royal summons?

Dad is such a drama king,

just like his little princess.

Yeah. I was right.

He threw his shoe. Can't risk a chipped hoof.

Looks like we're here

until Pablo can pick us up, then.

So you won't sleep in his house,

but you will pillage his fridge.

I think that's what's referred to

as moral relativism.

Actually, it's called moral convenience.

Look it up.

Come on. When's the last time we got to hang out like this?

You know, this is what I've missed the most.

Me too.

Oh, man!

Foie gras, come to Papa!

Ho ho ho ho!

Dani, can I talk to you for a minute?

What's up, man?

Sure.

Mmm!

I haven't had a good Gorgonzola in months.

Been slumming, man.

You need to tell Kris.

I said that I would talk to her,

and I will.When?

When I find out who really buted Picaro.

Dani, you're stalling.

It's not what you think, Matt.

You drugged Picaro.

Just admit it.

Tell her.

Kerry, it's Kris.

Um, I'm stuck over here at the Davis ranch.

Wildfire just threw a shoe,

so, uh, I wanted to give you an update

about tonight's plans.

I just don't know if I'm gonna be able to make 'em.

So...

I guess just give me a call when you get this, okay?

It's really storming out there.

All right. Call me soon.

Bye.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I know. You don't wanna be led around

like Mary-had- a-friggin'-lamb.

You wanna run. I get that.

I don't know if I can.

What do you mean sit tight, Dad?

What about those guys from the F.B.I.?

I mean, Junior's here. Where are you? What's going on?

Hel-- Dad? Hello?

Damn it. Phone's dead.

Bigger crisis? We're out of mortodello.

Why do you refuse to take this seriously?

Because guys like Dad never take the fall.

Just you watch. He'll find someone else to take it for him.

Kris?

Yeah, we're over here.

Oh, my God. What a storm.

Staying dry?

Trying to.

Um, listen.

Kris, about Picaro.

Um-- What?

It wasn't your fault.

Matt, no matter what the racing board says,

you and I were both there. We know what happened.

Just--

It's just me. I'm okay.

Ow.

Someone left a bucket.

Hey. Power's totally out at the house.

Just wanted to make sure you guys are okay.

You all right?

Aargh.

Hey!

Thanks for leaving me in the house alone.

That's like the classic setup for every bad horror film.

Girl by herself when storm hits just before the axe murderer shows up.

Hey, look. An axe.

You guys remember the last time we were together like this?

What, with the mustangs?

Seems like a lifetime ago.

Remember we played that game?What game?

You know, where we each told a secret about ourselves to each other.

Something no one else knew.

Lot's changed since then.

Everything has changed.

Yeah, and we're all so different now.

Oh! It's Pablo.

Hey, Pablo.

No, can you talk louder? I can't hear you.

I said the road's blocked. There's a tree down on 22.

I can't get there till they move it.

Probably morning.

Well, I guess we'll just--

Time's up. If you don't tell her, I will.

I can't deal with anything but my dad right now.

Okay, well then just

keep me posted.

All right. See you then.

I thought you already left to get Kris and Wildfire.

I did. The road's closed. There's a tree down.

Poor Kris.They'll be fine at Davis'.

It's warm and dry, you know?

So's hell.

Tree's blocking Route 22.

Nothing can get through, so...

looks like we're having a sleepover.

And that means that Dad's not gonna be making it back tonight either.

Hope he's okay.

I'm sure he'll make do in a suite at the Four Seasons.

Well, I'm kippin' out here in the barn.

I'm with you.

Let's do it. Are you crazy?

I swore when I left never to sleep inside that house again,

and I'm sticking to it.

There is a perfectly good mansion a hundred yards from here

with two bedrooms for each of us

and you all want to sleep in the barn?

Well, unless you're gonna let Wildfire sleep in the house.

You have all totally lost it!

You, me, and the barn.

Guess this is becoming a habit.

Because of a horse, I have to sleep in a barn.

So the first person that says a word dies.

Nothing like thousand-thread-count sheets

to make a barn Princess-worthy.

You know I never meant to hurt you.

I saw Wildfire and turned my head and looked back.

What's wrong? Are you okay?

What's going on?

What's going on?

Can we leave this creepy barn now?

I just-- I keep seeing it over and over again

and I-- I just keep reliving it.

Reliving what?

Just the accident.

That's what I've been trying to tell you, Kris.

Matt.The accident wasn't your fault.

This isn't the time--Picaro was lame before the race.

Lame? Well, why did you run him?

Why didn't you tell me?

Because he looked fine on race day.Fine?

What'd the vet say?

Picaro was buted.

What?Okay, the drugs make it look like he could run.

What are you talking about? Who'd do that?

So what are you saying? Dani? She buted him?

I wanted to scratch. She kept on pushing.

When race day came, the horse was fine.

Do the math.

How could you do this?

She needed to win.

I'm sorry that it ever happened.

You're sorry you got caught.

I'm not gonna stand here and lis--

I could've been killed out there and you're willing to risk my life for a win?

I had no idea that Picaro would break down.

You know how much I love that horse.

Apparently not as much as you love winning.

What were you thinking?You have to believe me.

And you knew about this!

I woulda told you. I-- As soon as I found out, I swear I tried--

But you didn't, Matt. You let me go on thinking it was all my fault

when you knew it wasn't. And how 'bout

the entire thing with the racing board?

They could have suspended me. Oh, my God.

Kerry and Jean are gonna go ballistic.

Wait a second, Kris. Let's just think about this.

Think about what?

Well, the truth is, is that everything turned out okay, right?

I mean, why make more of a mess of things?

What are you saying?Dani!

I'm just asking, Matt.

Can't we just keep this between us?

You're polishing a saddle?

Why shouldn't I be polishing a saddle?

God, Dani, what happened to you when I was gone?

It's like I don't even know you anymore.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

How could you bute a horse?

I never said that I did that.

Ah, but you did.Oh, shut up.

You don't know anything.

What'd you ever do for this family except run away?

Okay, don't go there, Dani. You know I'm flat broke.

Why not ask Isabelle for a loan?Why bring up my mother?

Why not?Because it--

She's vanished off the face of the earth.

So's mine.

Life's crap all around.

You okay?

That storm was insane, huh?

I was worried about you guys. They just cleared the road.

Do what's best for you, no one else.

I'm gonna go up to the house.

What are you doing here?

Coffee?

Okay, coffee.

So. What's goin' on?

I'm going to check on Wildfire.

That's the only agent I know who makes house calls.

I'm outta here. Tell Dad to come find me when he's ready.

Junior!

What's this?Certified Mail, addressed to both of us.

Thanks.Don't you even wanna know what's in here?

Had enough surprises.But wait. It's from Dad's lawyers.

Premium octane, anyone?

Oh, my God.What is it?

"Kenneth Bradford Davis hereby relinquishes his assets

"and all real property, including Davis Farms,

to his sole beneficiaries, his children."

He gave us everything.

Wow.

You guys are like America's newest...gazillionaires.

Congrats.

So...how's it feel to be the new megabuck zillionaires?

What happened? Where's Dad?

Looks like Dad's out, we're in.

You can be so callous.

Look. Part of me is worried. He's my father.

But then I remember who he really is

and I know he'll be fine.

How?I learned a little

about these under-the-table types working with Pete.

No offense, man.

I have no illusions about my father.

Not as cool as you think, being the sons of Butch and Sundance, huh?

Ow!

Junior.

Look. Dad's just sheltering his assets

from some kind of investigation to keep them from being seized.

Seized?

Yeah. If he deeds everything over to us,

the Feds can't touch it.

So he's gonna give it all to you.

Is that smart?

I can't believe it.

We control everything: the house, the ranch, the horses, the real estate.

It's pretty weird, huh?

This morning I thought I'd never set foot in the house again.

Now I own it. Wonder what it's worth.

We are not selling the house.

No. But we could.

We can do anything we want and Dad can't stop us.

I can even move back in.

Do you leave a mint on his pillow, too?

Listen, um...

whether I'm your boyfriend or your agent,

or just some guy in a tie, let's be honest with each other.

'Cause I'm picking up a pretty weird vibe.

About Junior? No. It-- That's over. I swear.

But there is something I need to tell you.

No!

How could he?

What happened?

Oh, our father deeded Davis Farms over to me and Dani.

Yeah, 51% to Junior and 49% to me.

God! Why did I protect him?

Protect him from what?

Why would he do this to me?

Because he's a manipulative ass, that's why.

Because he's trying to drive a wedge between us.

Wait! You need to hear this.

My father's the one that buted Picaro.

Picaro was buted?

Your father?It wasn't you?

No. When Matt saw that Picaro was hurt,

my dad told us to wait, maybe it's just a sore muscle

and we should check on him in the morning.

And then the next morning, Picaro seemed sound.

Because he buted him. God, Dani, why didn't you tell me this?

Or how 'bout the jockey?

I didn't know!

I swear.

I figured it out after the race.

And I knew with everything we'd been through,

you wouldn't turn me in, but you have

never made it a secret how you feel about my father.So you took the fall for him.

I can't hear any more of this.

You know what? I'm glad Dad gave me the controlling interest,

because you can't see straight when it comes to this guy.

Why do you always let him push you around?I don't know.

I'm such an idiot.

No!

No! It has always been you against me.

That's what he created, and that's the way that it is always gonna be.

Dani--And it's your fault that he's in this mess.

What are you talking about?

Oh, God. He made sure that I knew that the reason that he's broke is Isabelle.

He paid her $500,000 to leave.

He paid her off?

Then she really is gone.

But half a mil. That's not enough to break Dad.

Right now he doesn't have that kind of cash to spare.

I mean, why do you think that he wanted Picaro to win so badly?

But that's not the reason the Feds are after him.

For $500,000?

He told you that about my mother

because he wanted to try to divide us.

And she took the money.

We're better off without them, Dani

I hate him.I know.

Why didn't you tell me they put you on a drugged horse?

I was trying to tell you, but I just found out last night.

I mean, Picaro's the one that really suffered.

He lost his entire career because of one stupid mistake.

A buted horse? What kind of friends would cover that up?

It's completely unethical.

Why are you trying to protect them?

It seems that it should be the other way around.

I should go to the racing board with this.No. Don't.

I'm just sick of it. Leave it at that. Everything's fine.

No. You're not fine.

I came here to try to change all that. Come with me.

Come on. Just for a little while. Matt'll look after Wildfire.

Where are we going?Come on.

So this is what I wanted to show you yesterday.

This is yours?Uh-huh.

It's amazing.

No, what's amazing is I ever went up in a plane again after the accident.

What accident?

Uh, two years ago. I was flying to Sacramento.

You know, to meet a client.

And it was a perfect day. It was spectacular conditions.

Not a cloud in the sky.

But...my engine failed.

I managed to glide her down, but...

you know, it wasn't pretty.

I almost died.

My God.

Got a new knee, a reconstructed ankle bone.

Oh, well, you could never tell.

Except when it rains.

You know, after that happened, I thought I would never fly again.

But...you know, I lost a part of me.

You know?

I had to get it back.

It was a fight that I had to win.

Come on. Get in.

Okay, Kris, you ready to take the wheel?

What?Here. Put your hands on there.

Trust me. Go on.

Hand there, and the other one.

And you're flying the plane.

Grab-- Please grab it.No, you're doing good.

You got it. You got it.

Look, I'm shaking the plane.You're flying the plane!

Bet you didn't think you were gonna do this today.

That's exactly what I needed. Thanks.

See you next week.

All right. He's ready to go.

Where is the trailer?

Guess I forgot it.

Looks like he's going home the old-fashioned way.

You gonna walk or ride?

I'll ride.

Good.

Get up there.

What, you want me to go bareback?

Back to basics, right?

Sure about this?

Ready?

That's where you belong.

Next stop, Breeders Invitational?

Sounds like a plan.

So...Sharks are playing.

We are right behind the Plexiglas.

That blood will be splattering right here.

Sweet.

You stuck by me, man.

Through my darkest days.

I'm not gonna forget that.

But I'll talk to you later.

Hey. Shipping Ishmael to Churchill Downs.

Paid his entry fee to the Clark handicap.

You wanna go down there and train him?

Dani, I--

We can't work together.

Not after everything that's happened.

What? How can you say that?

It's you and me. Always has been.

No matter what else happens, remember?

Yeah, I...

I know you were protecting your father.

But the Ritters and Davises, they just don't mix.

So, what? Now that my dad's in some kind of trouble,

you're suddenly too good for me?

No, that has nothing to do with it.

You know, you never even asked me if I buted Picaro.

You just jumped to that conclusion.

What else was I supposed to think, Dani?

How about thinking that somebody that you've known all your life,

who you say that you love, is telling you the truth.

How about thinking you should be on my side

because I'm the most important person in the world to you?

How could you think you're not important to me?

Because of everything that you've said and done since the accident.

You never trusted me.

It's over.

Right?

Yeah.

Well, if it isn't Mr. 49% himself.

You have a lotta nerve, showing up here after--

Oh, my God.

Dad! What's going on?

Hey, gimme a minute, would you?

Listen, guys. It's just a bad real estate deal.

Don't listen to what you'll hear.

It's a money mix-up, not fraud.

I borrowed against an investment

I thought was a sure thing; it wasn't.

Well, are we gonna be okay?Hey, I swear,

I will straighten this out, but until I do,

I want you two to take care of each other, all right?

Okay? You hear me?

Yeah.Yeah.

Dad--

Daddy?

I love you, baby.

I love you, sweetie.

Mr. Davis, come on.
