Original subtitles

Previously on Heartland. In the future, I promise to try not to spare you from

those tough conversations.

What should our first date be?

Get off of my plane.

Go out and watch the sunset together.

What are we waiting for?

Why do you want to be a flag girl?

I just wanted to try out because I wanted you to see that you made a

about me. We need someone like you on the team.

Welcome to the Hudson Wilds.

We're not replacing Tim.

We got a good thing going. I don't want to pick a bad apple. You will know them

when you see them if you're willing to keep your eyes open.

Hey, neighbor.

Whoa!

Gracie, what the heck?

Sorry.

I'm on patrol.

Patrol for what, exactly?

Got any cattle missing?

Not that I know of.

Well, we do.

I think we have a wolf in our midst.

Oh. Okay, then. I have to go to a meeting when I finish this, and then

check on the herd and report back to you.

That's real neighborly of you.

No problem.

Just like the way you returned my phone the other day.

I'm sure it's not related, but shortly after that, a little bird got into

Nathan's head about some grain we had on site.

Well, that bird will be happy to know she doesn't have to ruffle any more

feathers.

It's all taken care of.

Later, chickadee.

Try to hold that leg a little bit straighter.

That's good.

Okay, just make sure you keep your reins nice and even.

There you go. That's better.

She's getting the hang of it.

Yeah.

You expecting anybody?

No.

Let's go check it out.

Nathan, right?

I've heard a lot about you.

Um, Ashley, what are you guys doing here?

Well, we had some vacation time and a week off from the kids, so we thought,

not go on a little adventure?

In Hudson?

I'm super excited. I just got some whitewater rafting tickets on Raven

Raven River?

I almost drowned there.

Have fun.

Seriously? We will be fine, though.

Uh, we just wanted to say hi, but maybe you can join us, you know?

Safety in numbers.

Oh, well, we're actually headed up to Pike River for the weekend. Nathan's

to help me with the horse.

Yeah. I have always wanted to go to Pike River.

Come on, let's go do that, Caleb.

We're going to be working the whole time. We can explore the town, go on

hikes.

What about rafting?

Exactly. No rapids. And we can hang out in the evening.

We were just about to go and drop Lindy off.

It's a super long drive, so we should probably get up. Now you're a map deal.

Fly us there.

I can?

Of course.

Okay, this is a brilliant plan. What do you say?

Double date getaway?

Take a day and sink into your dream, your dream world,

your dream world.

Thanks for letting us stay here, Dale. No problem.

Cabin sleep's four. Hey, Amy said there's a cheater hot tub. I built it

Wood burning. Nice. I'll take that over a freezing cold river paddle any day.

Ow. Wild horses.

Oh, wow.

Deja vu.

My family was friends with the man who used to own the place next door.

Oh, I know all about you saving Wilbur and his wild horses.

You're quite the legend around here. Oh, I don't know about that.

Well, everyone says you're the best person to train my search and rescue

Well, get yourself settled, and I'll meet you by the barn when you're ready.

Let's get settled, legend.

Ooh, a fireplace.

A tiny pizza oven.

I don't think that's what it is. Well, it will be tonight.

Caleb, look at that.

My grandma used to have one of these.

Oh, okay. One bed.

Well, Dale said it sleeps four.

Is there another room over there?

Uh, yeah. There's one here.

And it's the bathroom.

So we're all in one bedroom.

Oh, well.

We'll be spending most of our time outdoors, and this will be a crash pad.

We'll take the pullout.

Why don't you go ahead and get unpacked? I need a few minutes.

I told you not to have that second cup of coffee.

You can't do this at a trot more at a rope. You do know the difference

between... Yes, I know the difference.

I get nervous when we all get so close.

We're meant to be entertaining, Katie. That means riding fast in tight

formation. You need to get with the program.

Okay, reset and start from the top.

for the way our trip is turning out. Oh, you mean how our romantic getaway now

involves sharing a bedroom with Caleb and Ashley? Yeah, that and one bathroom.

Mm -hmm.

Maybe we could get a spot at that motel in town.

All right.

Oh, thank you.

All right.

I'll be...

No, I can't stay there.

It looked pretty decent. No, it's just, I don't... Caleb and Ashley will be

insulting. Just a couple nights.

Besides, we've got plenty of romantic getaways in our future.

Oh, I like the sound of that.

Hey, Dale.

Here he is.

Ernie.

Didn't quite have what it took to be a barrel racer, but he's short -footed and

eager to please.

Well, those are good qualities for a search and rescue horse. Yep.

Just hasn't spent much time outside of an arena.

Okay, well, we'll get him used to the elements.

Where's his partner at?

That'd be old Buster there.

Why aren't they pinned up together?

Well, he just retired his partner.

He teamed up with him his entire career.

So he doesn't want a new partner yet, huh?

Or a pen mate, apparently. He won't let her any near the hay or the water.

But I hope once you can get them working as a team, they can start staying

together. Well, Buster's scent trained, so he's definitely the leader.

Here you go.

Okay, thanks.

Thank you.

Centrained? Is that a thing?

Some people think so.

All right.

Hey.

Hey.

First radio's coming up quick. You really need to up your speed and

Anyway, um, we're gonna go get bubble tea.

You should come.

Oh, uh, sorry, I've got plans.

See you at next practice then, I guess.

I could take Dodger home, get him unloaded if you want to join him.

Oh, uh, that's okay. I've got a meeting with my writers group.

Well, isn't that later this evening?

You could hang out with your flag team friends first.

They're not my friends.

Ernie seems really out of his depth.

He's on high alert.

Well, that's normal for an arena horse.

Yeah, it's okay.

Easy now. Whoa, whoa, hey, buster.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Got him? Yeah.

But Ernie's not the problem.

Buster's got some real aggression issues.

We should get them back up to the barn and work with them.

Yeah.

You don't need to be afraid.

Hi.

Hey.

Aren't they incredible?

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Hey, how'd the meeting at Garland Foods go?

Not great.

Before they agree to extend our contract, they want to know how we plan

with the rising challenges of the beef market.

Same way as we always do. We just keep on keeping on. Apparently they need more

assurance than that.

They want a detailed one -year plan, including projections for calving,

inventory of the cattle at every stage of the feeding cycle.

Fred never made us do that. Fred is not running the show anymore. And if they're

going to re -up with us, they want to know we have a safe supply at a stable

price.

Okay.

So any more good news?

Mm -hmm.

Gracie came by with a rifle.

What?

She thinks a wolf got into their cattle.

I better check on ours, then.

You know, I could actually use the fresh air before I tackle this.

Would you mind picking up Katie at her writing group?

Okay. Sure, no problem. I'll grab a bite at Maggie's while I'm in town, then.

Okay.

Hey, it's Gracie. You know what to do.

Hey, Gracie. I'm out here looking at our herd.

All accounted for.

This is so surreal.

I know. This place is magical.

No, I mean the fact that the three of us are all here together.

Four of us?

Oh, yeah, of course. But I meant... It's okay. I know you guys have been friends

for a long time.

Well, we've known each other for a long time. Yeah, actually, the friend part

took a little while. Yeah. Well, it was worth it.

You know, Amy even sang at our wedding.

Best wedding ever. And you were the most beautiful bride. Aw, you were a dashing

groom.

Except for your beat -up face.

That's right.

Oh, I forgot.

What?

Let's just say my bachelor party went a little off the rails and ended in a bar

brawl. No, it ended with my mom and I bailing you and Ty out of jail.

Yeah, Ty really had my back that night.

Wait a minute, didn't you lose my dad's rodeo trophy that night? Yeah, that's

right. I thought Jim was going to kill us. Oh, he won.

You would have lost for sure.

That's my truck!

Wait, this is your truck?

What are you -

on your side.

You can wake everyone up.

Nathan was getting out of the naked, I mean, shower. I didn't see anything.

Well, just a little. He was wearing a towel.

Sort of.

It's okay, Ash.

You didn't know.

For the record, I totally approve.

I can't

believe you caught him in the act.

Well, I didn't exactly catch him.

He took off like a coward.

Probably better for everyone that this guy escaped your wrath.

Well, except I'm stuck with a busted -up truck.

I'm heading into Archie's to get an estimate right now. All right.

Oh, hey, I thought Grandpa was driving you to practice.

I'm not going.

Why not?

I work today.

Yeah, the late shift. You have plenty of time.

I need a day away from it.

Kitty, you made a commitment.

I'll be too busy flirting with cowboys to even notice I'm missing.

Except for River, who just rides me all practice.

Okay, that's not cool. But skipping out isn't going to solve anything.

We need to deal with this River girl head on.

You worked hard to get a spot on that team.

Fine. I'll get Gigi to drop me off.

All right. Atta girl.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I told you Buster doesn't like Ernie and his pen.

Yeah, he's made that clear.

Yeah. Pretty aggressive with him yesterday.

Okay, so, what's the plan?

Well, hooking them in this harness will force them to work together.

Good luck with that.

Or it's just one stubborn son of a gun.

Come on, let's go.

Uh, where are we going?

To find that wolf, first I have to teach you what to do when we face it down.

Okay, I'm up to my eyeballs. Okay, whatever you're working on, it can wait.

it's killing my cows, who's there next?

Come on, we need to protect our hearth.

Okay, I'll get my grandpa's rifle.

Okay.

Hey, I'll get a mocha.

Hold the coffee.

So you want a hot chocolate.

And no whipped cream. I have an image to protect.

Okay.

You vandalized any vehicles lately?

No, you don't.

Get back here!

You owe me!

Come on, old man.

It's not worth the heart attack.

I changed my mind. I want to run that formation one more time. I think it's

work.

You're the one who keeps missing the cross. You're not keeping up and... Yes,

know. You've made that abundantly clear. All practice in front of everyone.

Yeah, it's called coaching.

No, you're trying to show me up and make me feel like I don't belong.

That's ridiculous.

Okay, well, I am doing the best I can.

But clearly nothing is ever good enough.

So why don't you just kick me off?

Or maybe you're trying to make me quit. Is that it?

Come on, boys.

Work together.

Good boy.

There you go.

Come on, Buster. Be the leader.

All right. Moment of truth.

Come on, Buster.

Good boy.

There we go.

Nice work.

Well, that's a start. Yeah.

Kind of.

have to move together when they're linked up though oh come on you've heard

ever do you want to uh get the harness off and try and take him for another

yeah actually i know a spot down by the river that we could take them okay it's

almost one o 'clock you were supposed to be keeping track of time we have to go

meet caleb and ashley you did that on purpose oh i wouldn't do that come

on boys all right

Okay, I don't need to teach you how to shoot one of those things after all. I

know I look city, but I did grow up on a ranch.

I gotta quit underestimating you.

Okay, scrap target practice.

Let's find that wolf.

I only have so much time. I gotta get back to my desk.

What's got you so snowed under?

Garland Foods hasn't talked to you.

About what?

Seriously. Honestly, I have no idea what you're talking about.

I gotta take this.

Hello?

Is he all right?

Yeah, I'll be right there.

What's going on?

I gotta go. My dad had a fall.

Find that wolf, Lou.

Okay, boss.

All right.

Are you nervous?

A little.

What would you think about it?

Me too.

Amy?

Amy. Coming?

Yeah.

Hey, guys. Hi.

Sorry we're late. Somebody must have been keeping track of time. Nobody order

hot dog, because I think we roast between you and Marshmallow tonight.

You know, that reminds me of the bonfire parties we used to have in high school.

Yeah, like the one where you tried to steal my date?

Uh, it didn't work out.

Amy ended up marrying him. Oh.

So you guys were crushing on the same guy, huh? Well, more than once.

actually. Next up was this cowboy who rolled into town, Mr. Caleb O.

What were we thinking?

For the record, I think you ladies had very good taste.

Can you believe he was actually more into Amy?

That was a very long time ago.

I'm sorry. We're probably boring you to tears with our old stories.

Oh, no. Luckily, I don't cry easy.

Okay, well, enough about us.

I want to hear how you two met.

Um...

Okay. Uh,

we had a hard land. Uh -huh. By chance, actually.

Not long after, I, uh, I found her on the side of the road on the way to

Braeburn. I had a flat tire.

Oh. Yeah. Luckily, we were headed to the same working cow horse competition, so

gave her and her horse a lift.

Wow. You really are a knight in shining armor.

Yeah, and he kept that armor on for quite a while, actually.

So, broods a lot.

In the end, wasn't it actually me that changed your tire?

Really?

Yeah, sure was.

Actually, I met Caleb that weekend as well.

So I'm in Amy's motel room.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, and I am starving. Let's order.

Excuse me, would you tell me about the soup du jour?

Have you moved at all from there today?

Actually, I'm just getting started.

Gracie showed up and hauled me out to look for that wolf, then abandoned me.

What?

She said her dad had a fall.

Oh.

Is he okay?

I don't know, because honestly, I'm not even sure he really fell.

Well, you think she'd lie about that?

Well, maybe she's trying to take my eye off the ball.

I mean, Garland Foods must be talking to her about their plan, too.

Or maybe this is her revenge for me tipping off Nathan about the grain.

Lou, you're slipping back into your old ways. Careful how you handle this.

I have to head back into town. Archie's fixing my truck this afternoon, and it's

going to cost double what I thought.

Make an insurance claim.

And drive my premiums up? No, thank you.

Oh, and I ran into that delinquent at Maggie's. I tried to chase him down, but

he got away again, that coward.

Hey, you seem hot. You better be careful how you deal with that.

you've got some nerves showing up here i'm sorry okay

here for the damage to your truck 100 bucks you think that's gonna

come close to covering my bill that's all i got but i got a big payday coming

so i'll be good for the rest what's your name dex dex cashman Well, Dex Cashman,

I'll be calling the cops if you don't cover at all. Seriously? This is your

fault, too.

How do you see that?

You were parked in the wrong spot. That was customer parking for the pub, and I

didn't see you there. What's that got to do with anything? I thought it was

someone else's truck. Well, you shouldn't be trashing anyone's truck.

Okay.

Just don't call the cops, please.

I'll see what I can scrounge up.

Where are you going to be in, like, an hour?

I'm going to Archie's grass right now.

I'll still be there in an hour.

All right.

I'll see you there.

Hey.

I'll take the hundred bucks.

That's super delicious, eh?

Perfect amount of ham.

Wow. You can't stop it about the soup.

Wow. I mean, it's just so good.

Or you think that if you keep talking about the soup, you can put up talking

about the motel room.

No. What?

I just, I went to visit Amy at the competition.

And you stayed together in the same room?

Absolutely not. I left later that very same night. You went all the way to

Braeburn and back just to hang out with Amy?

Nothing happened. I promise.

Look, we decided that we were better off as friends.

With something else on the table?

No. Amy was very clear about that. She sees me as her best friend and nothing

more. And look how happy she is with Nathan.

What?

Do you hear yourself?

You say Amy wasn't interested.

But what about you?

And what about now?

Come on, Ash. You're not answering my question. I can explain. I can.

You know what?

Don't. You had your chance.

I'm going to go buy groceries for tonight and let you daydream about... I

daydream about Amy.

I was going to say split pea soup.

Ash.

Buster's behaving himself.

Yeah, he's had quite the shift in attitude.

Speaking of shift, Ashley sure did get quiet at lunch. Oh, gee, I wonder why.

I think I got Caleb in trouble.

I don't know. I just, like I told you, nothing happened that night. I was just

little confused.

I know. No further explanation needed.

You sure?

Yes.

Why do you keep asking?

I don't know.

We were talking about Braeburn.

All that talk about the working cow horse competition didn't give me some

though. I miss them.

Well, you should get back into it.

No. I got enough going on right now.

Hey, check it out.

Bet there's a cool view of the river from there.

Finally some alone time together.

Yeah, I'm really sorry about all the hot tubs and wiener roasts and lunches.

Hey, I'm not brooding.

I'll take whatever time I can get with you.

What? You okay?

Yeah, I... I'm sorry.

I... I just... I just need a minute.

Can you... Should I?

Yeah, just, um...

Can you take Buster back and I'll meet you there?

Okay.

You sure you're okay? I'm fine.

I am.

Okay.

You know, the other day when you asked me what I wanted, if you would have

me that back home, I would have said that I need to know that we still want

same things.

And now I know that we do.

You're the same girl that I fell in love with.

Shouldn't they be in a harness in here?

They've come a really long way. I think that we should give Buster a chance.

Ready?

Yep.

One, guys.

Hey.

Good boy, Buster.

Will you look at that?

Think it'll translate to work in his partners.

It's definitely something to build from Good job you guys These two may just

work out after all

I

Think we let them settle here for tonight

take them back out tomorrow

Nathan, I'm sorry.

At the gazebo, I... I don't know. I clammed up because... What, did I do

something wrong?

No.

This place... There's a lot of memories here for me, and... Well, the truth

is, that gazebo... That's where Ty and I decided to get married.

And so... Oh.

I'm sorry. Don't be sorry. How could you have known that?

I wanted you to come.

I did. I didn't know what kind of emotions this place would stir up. And

that we're here, everywhere I look, I see his ghost.

I understand.

You, um... Why don't you go back to the cabin and use the walk to clear your

head?

River?

Okay, maybe I've been a little harsh.

A little?

I'm stressed out, okay?

You're stressed?

I'm the one who's new to all this.

It's new to me, too.

Being the captain, it's my first year, and I don't want it to look like we've

taken a step back.

Hey, Trish would love that.

Who's Trish?

Our old captain.

And if you think I'm harsh, you should have seen the way that she spoke to me

when I was a rookie.

So if you know how it feels, then why are you doing it? Because it works.

But I'll say this.

You're coming along.

In the arena, at least. What does that mean?

I want you to try and put in an effort with the girls.

Okay, we're a team.

And you said you wanted to be a part of it, but you act like you're too good for

us.

Too good for you?

I don't feel good enough. You're all so pretty and cool with your perfect hair

and clothes and makeup.

I don't fit in.

Sorry, we're pretty? Ever looked in a mirror?

No, you don't need those other things to fit in.

Be yourself.

So you're not kicking me off the team?

You're not getting out of this that easy.

You're not quitting?

You're not getting rid of me that easy either.

Thank you. If I was as good a shot as you, I would have got him.

You scared him off?

Oh, that was close.

You are the last person I thought would come to my rescue.

I told you. We were going to get this wolf together.

Yeah, I just thought you were tied up with your dad.

How is he?

Not good.

He has a bad concussion.

He'll have to manage for someone in his state.

I'm ashamed to admit that I thought you were lying to me.

About my dad?

And the wolf?

Garland Foods has asked for these projections for next year.

I thought you knew about it.

You're trying to distract me.

What?

You must think that I'm crazier than an outhouse flock.

Well, you know, that's why I asked you if Garland Foods had talked to you,

because they will.

Oh, I got our plan in early last week.

Yeah, we're neighbors, but, you know, I got to keep some things on my side of

the fence.

Like my phone.

Crazier than an outhouse fly.

Yep.

Did you pack the mail?

No.

Sorry.

I forgot that you lather that on your hot dogs.

Like some psychopath.

Pardon?

Nothing.

That's my sister.

I'm going to take this.

Veggie dogs.

Why did you give veggie dogs?

It's what I'm having.

Hey, but you're not a vegetarian.

It's what I'm craving.

Sometimes people want different things at different times.

You would understand that?

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Uh, I gotta go home.

What's wrong?

Uh, my dad fell.

Concussion. I'll come with you.

No, it's okay.

You gotta finish with the horses.

Um, I could fly you back.

We're gonna have to leave right away. You gotta get in the air before it's

Uh, sure.

Yeah.

I'll get my stuff.

I'll be back first thing in the morning.

Take your time.

You find the rest of my money?

All I've got is like 30 bucks. Then we have a problem.

No, I've got an idea.

Take my car.

What would I do with that?

You must have a grandkid who could use it to start a ride.

It looks like a death trap to me.

Then sell it.

I couldn't give it away.

Well, it's all that I've got.

Then like I said, we have a problem.

You can't press charges.

Seriously, it'll screw everything up. I'm a hockey player.

I won a junior championship last year.

Well, good for you. No, listen, please. I just got drafted. Rookie camp's coming

up. If you report this, they'll find out.

You should have thought of that before you trashed my truck.

I told you, I thought it was someone else's.

This super creepy guy. He wouldn't leave one of the waitresses alone.

He was seriously harassing her.

I respect the chivalry.

Smashing up my truck ain't the answer, so maybe you back off on the vigilante

justice next time.

I appreciate the advice, but are you going to press charges or not?

Are you hungry?

What?

You're going to buy me supper at Maggie's.

You'll be there in three minutes.

Sorry I have to split like this.

It's okay, I understand.

You don't want me to come with you.

It might be good for you to have some time on your own here.

Sort through some of those feelings that this place has stirred up for you.

See you soon. Yeah.

Need anything else?

What's the tab?

Uh, 22 .49.

How much did you say you have?

30 bucks.

Okay, then. I'll have another soda.

That's your third one. Oh, I wouldn't go there.

Seems like you're getting off light to me.

We're nowhere near square yet.

You haven't even finished this one yet.

Be right back, Gigi.

Gigi? Great -grandfather.

Wow.

You really are old. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm getting up there all right.

Now, my wife has been on me to pull back on the ranch work and hire some help.

I think I may have finally found someone.

Me? You work off your debt before you go to rookie camp.

Seriously?

Fine. But do I still have to pay for your burger?

And the sodas should leave just about enough for a tip.

You should know that nothing happened between Caleb and I.

Not for lack of trying, anyway.

He was going through a tough time, Ash.

I'm not upset that he took a shot at you.

It's that he never mentioned it.

And now I have to stand here and wonder if he still has feelings for you. He

doesn't. How do you know that?

We decided that if we were going to go down this road again, that there would

no secrets.

Well, in other news, I think I pushed Nathan away.

What?

I spent a lot of time here with Ty, and I couldn't shut that out.

It might have been a mistake to bring Nathan here.

Hey, hey, what's going on? Just hang on a minute.

What just happened?

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

This is no radio signal.

Oh, Caleb, Caleb! Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see it, I see it.

Mayday, mayday, mayday. This is Julius Pangos Zulu.

Do you copy?
