( 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?
