AMY: TY!

TY, SPARTAN'S GONE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME PICK ME UP

ALL THE WAY AT THE RANCH.

PETER: HEY.

EVERYTHING OKAY?

(AWKWARD BREATH)

WE HAVE TO FACE FACTS...

YOU MAY NOT FIND HIM.

AMY: TY, THAT'S HIM.

AUCTIONEER: ...THE HORSE 1800, BUYER NUMBER 61.

AMY: HE WAS ALL I HAD LEFT OF HER.

SHE DIED TRYING TO SAVE HIM.

HE IS MY HORSE

AND NO ONE'S GONNA TAKE HIM FROM ME.

TY: AND HOW'RE YOU GONNA GET SPARTAN

OUT OF LOCKED AUCTION HOUSE WITH A GUARD DUTY ONSITE.

WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?

AMY: (ELATED BREATH)

YOU ARE GROUNDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

GOT MYSELF A PRO-RODEO SPONSORSHIP.

I'LL SEE YA.

CALEB: YES, YOU WILL.

(AMY PATS SPARTAN)

(SIGHING)

(SPARTAN GRUNTS HEAVILY)

OH! UNGH!

(SPARTAN GRUNTS AND SNORTS)

(GASPING)

WHOA...

SPARTAN, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?

WHAT? I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD A CHALET

IN THE MOUNTAINS.

(HALF LAUGHS)

AND WHAT EXACTLY DOES ONE DO WITH THREE FIRE PLACES?

PETER, THAT SOUNDS AMAZING, BUT I CAN'T.

BECAUSE I JUST LAUNCHED MY WINTER MARKETING CAMPAIGN

AND I HAVE TO STICK AROUND IN CASE I GET A BOOKING.

OKAY, LOOK, NEXT WEEKEND FOR SURE. OKAY?

I'LL CALL YOU LATER. BYE.

WELL, LOU, I DON'T WANNA TELL YOU HOW TO BAIL YOUR OWN HAY,

BUT I THINK YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME

WITH THIS NEW CAMPAIGN.

THERE'S A REASON

THAT DUDE RANCHES SHUT DOWN IN THE WINTER.

WELL, NOT THIS ONE.

"HEARTLAND'S WINTER WONDERLAND."

LOU: CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING. ICE-SKATING. HAY RIDES.

WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?

HOW ABOUT IT BEING SO COLD YOUR NOSE HAIRS FREEZE?

HOW WAS YOUR RIDE?

IT WAS FINE.

ARE YOU LIMPING?

NO.

WELL... YEAH.

(SIGHS) WE WERE OUT RIDING

AND THERE WAS THIS TREE LYING ACROSS TRAIL...

WELL, MORE LIKE A BRANCH...

AND HE JUST STOPPED AND I WENT FLYING.

YOU OKAY?

YEAH.

WELL, A GUY FROM BLACKHILLS RANCH JUST CALLED.

HE SAID HE'S GOT A HORSE THAT WON'T LOAD.

SO I TOLD HIM BRING HIM BY TOMORROW.

TOMORROW? GREAT.

IS THAT A PROBLEM?

NO. (SIGHS)

JUST THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH SPARTAN FOR DAYS

AND I CAN'T EVEN FIX HIM.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIX SOMEONE ELSE'S HORSE?

WHAT'S GOING ON, AMY?

I DON'T KNOW! I TOLD YOU,

HE JUST... HE'S JUST AFRAID TO JUMP!

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT SPARTAN.

WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

I SAW YOU IN THE RING THE OTHER DAY.

YOU WERE TENSING UP, LEANING BACK IN YOUR SADDLE,

JERKING YOUR REINS LIKE YOU WERE IN ANOTHER WORLD.

I WAS NOT LEANING BACK IN MY SADDLE,

AND I WAS DEFINITELY NOT JERKING MY REINS.

OKAY? SPARTAN'S JUST FREAKED OUT

BECAUSE WES WALKED IN HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

AND HE STOLE HIM

WHILE YOU WERE ASLEEP UPSTAIRS!

TY, I'M SO...

I DIDN'T MEAN IT.

SEE, GRAMPA,

YOU'VE GOTTA KNOW YOUR TARGET MARKET.

SO FAR, I'VE SENT BROCHURES TO TRAVEL AGENCIES,

TOURISM OFFICES, AND CORPORATIONS.

HOW ABOUT THE RUSSIAN LAPLANDERS?

I HEAR THEY REALLY LIKE THE COLD.

HA HA.

(PHONE RINGS)

HELLO?

YES, WE DO HAVE AN AVAILABILITY THIS WEEKEND.

MOUNTAIN DIRECT.

OKAY, UH...

ALL OF THE CABINS? THAT'S NO PROBLEM.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST GIVE ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS

AND I CAN SEND YOU OFF A QUOTE.

PRICE IS NOT AN ISSUE?

OKAY THEN, WE'LL SEE YOU FRIDAY.

GREAT.

JACK: DON'T YOU HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO?

TY: NAH, I'M ALL DONE,

EXCEPT FOR CHOPPING THAT CORD OF WOOD.

BUT...

I THOUGHT I'D LUNGE HARLEY FOR A BIT FIRST.

(HARLEY GRUNTS)

YOU KNOW, I'VE BROKE A HORSE OR TWO IN MY DAY.

I COULD GIVE YOU A HAND.

I APPRECIATE THE OFFER, JACK,

BUT, IT'S MY FIRST HORSE...

KINDA WANNNA DO IT ON MY OWN.

COME ON, HARLEY.

(HARLEY GRUNTS)

HYAH! LET'S GO.

COME ON.

LET'S GO, HARLEY.

YOU KNOW, TY,

THE WHOLE POINT IS TO GET HARLEY

WHO'S VICTOR WHITETAIL?

VICTOR WHITETAIL?

OH...

JUST AN OLD...

UH, FRIEND OF YOUR MOM'S.

BIT OF A LEGEND WITH HORSES, SO...

WHAT DO YOU THINK'S WRONG WITH SPARTAN?

I DON'T KNOW,

BUT I THINK THAT WES SCREWED HIM UP PRETTY BAD.

WELL, I'M SURE YOU'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

(COMPUTER KEYS CLACK)

(INHALES AND EXHALES)

(COUNTRY SONG PLAYS QUIETLY ON THE RADIO)

HEY, GRAMPA?

HAND ME THAT RATCHET, WOULD YA?

AMY: UM...

I WAS WONDERING IF MAYBE

I COULD TAKE SPARTAN TO SEE VICTOR?

(RATCHET CLATTERS)

NO, I DON'T THINK THAT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA.

WHY NOT?

WELL, FOR STARTERS YOU'RE STILL GROUNDED.

WELL, YOU COULD ALWAYS GROUND ME FOR ANOTHER WEEK

AT THE END OF MY SENTENCE.

GRAMPA, I'M ALL CAUGHT UP ON MY HOMEWORK.

WELL, MIRACLES ABOUND.

SO, CAN I GO?

I DON'T WANT YOU DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS

THIS TIME OF YEAR.

WELL, I WAS HOPING MAYBE YOU COULD DRIVE ME?

GRAMPA,

I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I KNOW TO TRY AND FIX SPARTAN.

(SIGHS)

YOU HAVE TO CALL HIM FIRST,

SEE IF HE'S EVEN STILL UP THERE.

HE MIGHT BE... I ALREADY DID.

HE'S EXPECTING ME TOMORROW.

LOU: TOMORROW! AMY, YOU CAN'T.

WE HAVE A HUGE CORPORATE BOOKING!

NO, YOU HAVE A CORPORATE BOOKING, LOU!

I AM GOING TO VICTOR.

THAT'S JUST GREAT.

AND WHO IS GOING TO TAKE MY GUESTS

ON TRAIL RIDES!

AMY: I DON'T KNOW,

GET TY AND HIS GIRLFRIEND TO DO IT.

LOU: GRAMPA, TALK TO HER!

OH, IT MIGHT DO HER GOOD TO GET AWAY FOR AWHILE.

GET AWAY FROM WHAT?

(SIGHS)

AMY: HOW WELL DID MOM KNOW VICTOR?

JACK: WELL, LIKE I SAID, THEY WERE FRIENDS.

AMY: BUT, GOOD FRIENDS OR...?

JACK: YEAH, I GUESS.

AMY: SO HOW COME SHE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT HIM?

JACK: OH, SHE DID.

SHE ALWAYS SPOKE VERY HIGHLY OF HIM, TOO.

YOU WERE PROBABLY JUST TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER.

SO, WHY DID THEY STOP BEING FRIENDS?

WELL, LIFE JUST HAS A WAY OF MOVING ON, AMY.

PEOPLE DRIFT APART.

LOU: HEY.

ROAD TRIP FOOD.

PEACE OFFERING?

(HALF LAUGHS) OKAY, THANK YOU.

HAVE A GOOD TRIP, OKAY?

AMY: OKAY.

UH, I THINK TY'S BUSY.

JACK: WE SHOULD GET GOING. LONG DRIVE AHEAD OF US.

(TRUCK ENGINE RUMBLES TO LIFE)

SEE YA.

(TRUCK RUMBLES FORWARD)

MAN, THEY ARE STUBBORN.

LOU: AMY AND TY?

MALLORY: SOMEONE NEEDS TO PULL A SERIOUS JERRY SPRINGER

ON THOSE TWO.

(TRUCK ENGINE RUMBLES)

(TRAILER DOORS OPEN)

JACK!

NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

YOU TOO, JOAN.

(JACK GRUNTS)

JOAN: (GIGGLES)

YOUR GRANDFATHER...

NEVER COULD TAKE A HUG.

(SHEEPISH BREATH)

TANSI. YOU MUST BE, AMY.

HI.

COUSIN'S OUT ON THE RANGE, HE'S LOOKING FOR HIS EAGLE.

WELL, I SHOULD...

GET GOING.

DON'T YOU WANT TO SAY HI TO VICTOR FIRST?

AH... UH...

TELL HIM I'LL SEE HIM WHEN I COME BACK TO PICK YOU UP.

I JUST WANNA GET HOME BEFORE DARK.

I SHOULD SHOW THIS GUY TO HIS ROOM.

RANGE IS THAT WAY.

OKAY.

SO, UH...

I'LL SEE YA IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.

OKAY.

(STOVE DOOR OPENS)

(KNOCK AT THE DOOR)

OH, UH... COMING!

(PIE CLATTERS INTO SETTING)

HEY, BEAUTIFUL. HI!

WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE?

I THOUGHT YOU WENT SKIING.

NAH, IT WOULDN'T BE ANY FUN WITHOUT YOU.

OH. CRAZY. UM...

HEY, I, UH...

I-I HAVE THIS, UM... THIS CORPORATE BOOKING.

THEY'RE GONNA BE...

THEY'RE GONNA BE ARRIVING ANY MINUTE, SO, UM...

I DON'T THINK YOU DO.

NO, UH, PETER, I'M ACTUALLY, I'M SERIOUS.

THEY BOOKED EVERY CABIN.

SO, I'M GONNA BE...

I'M GONNA BE REALLY, REALLY BUSY.

WELL, THE GOOD THING IS,

I HEAR THE FOLKS AT MOUNTAIN DIRECT

ARE (CLEARS THROAT) ARE REALLY LAID-BACK, SO...

WHAT? HOW DID YOU KNOW THE NAME OF THE, UM...

YOU ARE MOUNTAIN DIRECT?

(CLUB SLICES THE AIR AND WHACKS GOLF BALL)

(WHACKS GOLF BALL)

AMY: HI.

AMY FLEMING, LOOK AT YOU.

YOU'RE ALL GROWN UP.

YOU SURE DO LOOK LIKE YOUR MOM.

A LOT OF PEOPLE TELL ME THAT.

I WAS, UH, DOWN IN ARIZONA DOING A HORSE CLINIC

WHEN SHE MADE HER JOURNEY.

DIDN'T FIND OUT UNTIL I GOT BACK.

LET'S SEE IF I CAN, UH, PUT THIS ONE INTO THE WEST.

(WHACK)

WOO-HOO-WEE!

THE SACRED GOLF SPIRITS ARE SURE WITH ME TODAY.

YOUR TURN.

OH... NO, I'VE NEVER GOLFED BEFORE.

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT.

VICTOR: NOW WE'VE GOT THE FOUR SACRED NATIONS HERE.

WHAT COLOUR WOULD YOU LIKE?

AH, THE RED NATION. GOOD CHOICE.

JUST THE CLUB LIKE THIS,

HERE, AND THEN A NICE GENTLE SWING

AND TONTO'S YOUR UNCLE!

(THUNK)

(EAGLE CRIES)

LIFTED YOUR HEAD ON THAT ONE.

WANTED TO SEE WHERE THE BALL WAS GOING, EH?

GO AHEAD.

AND GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY.

JUST KEEP THE LITTLE ROUND GLOBE

RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.

(THUNK)

OKEY DOKEY.

WELL, LET'S GO SAY HELLO TO YOUR HORSE.

LOU: JUST PULL UP RIGHT IN FRONT.

PETER: SO, THIS IS THE FAMOUS LOU FLEMING

EQUESTRIAN CONNECTION, HUH?

LOU: YEP.

OH, HEY, I CAN GET IT. I GOT IT.AY,

WOW. IT'S AMAZING, LOU.

MOTHER NATURE AT HER FINEST.

PETER: WHOA! (LAUGHS)

THAT WAS QUITE THE ENTRANCE.

YEAH. I JUST... I COULDN'T WAIT FOR YOU

TO SEE THE PLACE.

SO, UH... WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IT'S VERY NICE.

VERY NICE.

AND DARK.

THAT WAY IT'S MORE ROMANTIC WHEN WE LIGHT THE FIRE.

OH...

CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT.

(HALF LAUGHS) ME TOO.

SO, I'M GONNA LET YOU GET SETTLED.

SETTLED?

MM-HM. I'M SETTLED.

LOU: (HALF LAUGHS) OH, I NEED TO GO

AND TELL MY, UH, MY RANCH HAND

THAT I WON'T BE NEEDING ALL THOSE TRAIL HORSES.

WELL, WE'LL NEED A COUPLE. RIGHT?

YOU WANNA GO RIDE?

YEAH. I'LL COME HELP YOU.

NO! NO.

YOU CAN STAY HERE AND LIGHT THE FIRE.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO LIGHT A FIRE?

OH, I THINK SO.

OKAY. MUAH!

WELL, I WILL BE RIGHT BACK.

AND YOU JUST DON'T...

GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT ME, 'KAY?

JUST STAY. YEAH.

OH MY GOD.

TY: HOW'RE YOU DOING?

KIT: ALMOST DONE.

(PANTING)

TY: YOU OKAY?

LOU: (PANTING) I JUST JOGGED FROM THE DUDE RANCH.

UM, TURNS OUT I WON'T BE NEEDING YOUR SERVICES

AFTER ALL.

THERE'S ONLY ONE GUEST.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID THE CABINS WERE BOOKED.

YEAH, YEAH, THEY ARE. HE'S A...

HE'S A VERY PRIVATE PERSON.

SO... I'LL TAKE THOSE TWO.

OH, UM...

HE DOESN'T WANT ANYONE ELSE AROUND.

SO, JUST STAY AWAY FROM THE DUDE RANCH, AND...

AND MAKE SURE YOU TELL MALLORY.

TY AND KIT: OKAY.

LOU: THANKS, SWEETIE.

ALL RIGHT.

(HORSES NICKER)

LOOKS LIKE WE GOT

A LITTLE FREE TIME ON OUR HANDS.

UM... ACTUALLY, I WAS THINKING

ABOUT WORKING WITH HARLEY FOR A BIT.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S ONLY ONE THING THAT I LIKE MORE

THAN WATCHING A COWBOY BREAK A HORSE...

HELPING HIM BREAK A HORSE.

(LAUGHS)

(SPARTAN GRUNTS)

(SPARTAN GRUNTS)

(SIGHS)

SEE? I...

I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

HE USUALLY LOVES TO JUMP.

(SPARTAN WHINNIES LIGHTLY)

I DON'T KNOW WHY HE WON'T.

THERE'S AN OLD INDIAN SAYING...

YOU CAN'T KNOW A HORSE'S HEART

UNTIL YOU'VE WALKED A FEW MILES

IN HIS HORSESHOES.

WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GO FOR A WALK.

(WITH A LAUGH) WE JUST GOT HERE.

CAN I BORROW THAT? YOUR WATCH.

SURE.

YOU GOT A CELL PHONE?

YEAH.

CAN I BORROW THAT, TOO?

OKAY.

HORSES DON'T KNOW THAT BETWEEN THE RISING

AND THE SETTING OF GRANDFATHER SUN,

THERE'S THIS LITTLE THING WE HUMANS CALL "TIME."

(SPARTAN NICKERS)

COMING?

KIT: SO, YOU JUST TIE A NICE, SOFT COTTON ROPE AROUND HIM,

SO IT WON'T BURN HIM OR CUT HIM.

HERE YOU GO. GOOD BOY.

AND NOW,

WE HAVE CONTROL OF HIM.

SO WE CAN SACK HIM OUT,

PUT A SADDLE ON HIM,

DO WHATEVER WE WANT,

AND HE CAN'T KICK US OR RUN AWAY.

SEEMS KIND OF CRUEL, DON'T YOU THINK?

WELL, IT'S ONLY CRUEL

IF THE PERSON DOING THE TYING

DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

I DON'T KNOW, IT JUST...

FEELS WEIRD.

'CAUSE IT'S NOT AMY'S WAY.

NO, IT'S JUST...

AH... I CAN'T DO THIS.

FINE.

YOU DO IT HER WAY.

VICTOR: SO YOU AND YOUR MOM RESCUED THIS...

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

SPARTAN.

RIGHT, SPARTAN.

...FROM THIS GUY.

AMY: YEAH.

IT WAS PRETTY STORMY THAT NIGHT AND...

WELL...

WE JUST KINDA, YOU KNOW...

SPARTAN MUST BE PRETTY SPECIAL TO YOU?

YEAH.

MUST'VE BEEN PRETTY SCARY

WHEN HE WAS STOLEN FROM YOU?

SO, HE'S A JUMPER.

YEAH. I STARTED ENTERING HIM IN COMPETITIONS LAST YEAR.

TY WAS MY COACH.

WE ACTUALLY, WE WON THE FALL FINALE.

WHO'S TY?

HE'S JUST A FRIEND.

HE STILL YOUR COACH?

NO.

(TIGHT INHALE) NO,

I'VE JUST BEEN KINDA BUSY WITH SCHOOL

AND WITH OTHER HORSES.

AND ON TOP OF IT ALL,

OUR STABLE-HAND JUST LEFT FOR THE RODEO CIRCUIT, SO...

SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT A LOT OF BANNOCK

ON YOUR PLATE.

AMY: YEAH, WELL...

IT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS, I GUESS.

(EXHALES FORCEFULLY)

SO...

WHAT'S YOUR PLAN WITH SPARTAN?

DON'T HAVE ONE.

BET THIS RIVER DOESN'T HAVE A PLAN, EITHER.

HM. I BET IT DOESN'T SIT AROUND

WONDERING WHERE IT CAME FROM

OR WHERE IT'S GOING.

IT JUST KIND OF GOES WITH THE FLOW.

MAY BE A GOOD THING FOR US TWO-LEGGEDS

TO LEARN FROM THAT RIVER, EH?

(RIVER FLOWS CALMLY)

(APPROACHING RUMBLE OF TRUCK)

EASY.

THERE YOU GO.

HOW GOES THE BATTLE TODAY?

HE STILL WON'T LISTEN TO ME.

WELL, WHAT'RE YOU TRYING TO TELL HIM?

IT'S NO USE, JACK.

HE'S NOT GONNA BE BROKE BY THE TIME SHE GETS BACK.

WHO?

OH.

I JUST WANTED TO...

IMPRESS HER?

NO, I...

(HARLEY GRUNTS AND SNORTS)

(SIGHS) WELL... MAYBE, YEAH.

THING ABOUT BREAKIN' A HORSE, TY,

IS IF YOU GO AT IT LIKE YOU GOT 15 MINUTES,

IT'LL TAKE YOU ALL DAY.

BUT IF YOU GO AT IT LIKE YOU GOT ALL DAY?

WELL, IT'LL TAKE YOU 15 MINUTES.

YOU HEAR THAT, HARLEY?

WE GOT ALL DAY, BUDDY.

(HARLEY GRUNTS)

WHOA... EASY.

SEE THAT, JACK?

THERE'S NOTHING TO IT.

(HARLEY GRUNTS)

WHOA! WHOA, EASY! EASY, BOY, EASY!

EASY, HARLEY, COME ON!

(LAUGHING)

(HARLEY WHINNIES)

WHOA!

(HARLEY WHINNIES WILDLY)

(TO HIMSELF) YEP. NOTHING TO IT.

(EXHALES, FRUSTRATED)

(DOOR OPENS)

GRAMPA! YOU'RE BACK!

I BELIEVE I STILL LIVE HERE,

UNLESS YOU'VE BOOKED OUT MY ROOM.

I JUST, UM, I WASN'T EXPECTING YOU UNTIL LATER.

TY SAID TOLD ME THAT ONLY ONE GUEST ARRIVED.

YEAH. AND HE RENTED OUT ALL THE CABINS TOO.

LOU: HE WANTS, UM, TOTAL AND UTTER PRIVACY, SO...

NOT ANOTHER CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT.

NO, NO. NOTHING LIKE THAT.

UM, BUT IF YOU GUYS

COULD JUST STAY AWAY FROM THE DUDE RANCH,

THAT'D BE GREAT.

FINE BY ME.

THAT'S WEIRD,

WHY DOES HE WANT "TOTAL AND UTTER PRIVACY?"

I DON'T KNOW, MALLORY.

SOME PEOPLE JUST LIKE THE PEACE AND QUIET, OKAY?

I MEAN, I KNOW THAT'S HARD FOR YOU TO COMPREHEND,

BUT IT DOES HAPPEN.

WHAT IF HE'S ANOTHER OIL SLICK

PRETENDING TO BE NICE,

BUT REALLY HE'S JUST DRILLING ON JACK'S LAND?

MALLORY! HE IS NOT AN OIL SLICK, OKAY?!

MALLORY: HOLY!

SENSITIVE MUCH?

PETER: (CHUCKLING, UNINTELLIGIBLE COMMENT)

LOU: (HALF LAUGHS)

MMM! IS THAT GOOD?

MM-HM. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

EXCEPT NOW YOU... YOU HAVE...

WHAT?

YOU HAVE, UM...

SOME CHOCOLATE AND...

I THINK I NEED TO...

(PETER'S CELL PHONE RINGS)

(GROANS) AH.

I'M SO SORRY.

(SIGHS)

I HAVE TO TAKE THIS.

I'M SORRY, IT COULD BE...

HEY, WHAT'S UP?

OH MY GOD, NO. IS IT HIS HEART?

(CHUCKLES) WELL, THAT'S GOOD.

LET ME GUESS, HE WAS FIXING THE ROOF

AND FELL OFF THE LADDER, RIGHT?

(CHUCKLES)

MR. HANDYMAN.

IT'S MY FATHER-IN-LAW. IT'S OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

NO, SURE, I CAN DEFINITELY TAKE MAX FOR THE WEEKEND.

CAN YOU JUST PACK UP HIS STUFF FOR ME

AND I'LL BE THERE IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.

YEAH, NO PROBLEM.

OKAY. BYE.

(BEEPS PHONE OFF, PETER SIGHS)

LOU, I'M SO SORRY, I... (RETREATING FOOTSTEPS)

(CABIN DOOR OPENS)

(SIGHS) I DON'T KNOW, GRAMPA.

I JUST...

I DON'T SEE WHAT MOM GOT OUT OF COMING HERE.

I MEAN, ALL WE DO IS GOLF AND GO FOR WALKS.

YEAH, WE HAVEN'T WORKED WITH SPARTAN ONCE.

I DON'T KNOW, I...

I'M JUST SAYING THAT MAYBE... (BOOKS CLATTER)

YEAH, I'M STILL HERE. UM...

I WAS SAYING THAT, UM...

MAYBE I JUST NEED TO GET USED TO VICTOR'S STYLE

OF HORSEMANSHIP.

FROM BEING PUT DOWN.

ALWAYS TRYING TO HELP THE FOUR-LEGGEDS.

(HALF LAUGHS)

YOUR MOM,

SHE HAD A GIFT WITH HORSES, AMY.

NOW, IT'S YOUR GIFT.

I'M NOT SO SURE ABOUT THAT.

I CAN'T EVEN FIX SPARTAN.

MAYBE SPARTAN DOESN'T NEED FIXING.

HE'S A STAR JUMPER WHO REFUSES TO JUMP.

I DON'T JUMP WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME TO, EITHER.

WHAT DO SAY WE GO FOR A WALK?

WE'RE ALWAYS WALKING, VICTOR.

ARE WE EVER GONNA WORK WITH SPARTAN?

YEP.

WHERE TO THIS TIME?

GUESS WE'LL KNOW WHEN WE GET THERE.

(HUFFS)

(CARRIAGE AND REIGNS RATTLE)

PETER: YOUR CARRIAGE AWAITS. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WHAT'S GOING ON? I DON'T KNOW.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME, MR. SECRETIVE?

WHAT?

YOU HAVE A FAMILY? YOU HAVE A WIFE?

NO... (SIGHS)

HECK, I HAVE AN EX-WIFE!

LOU, I WOULD'VE TOLD YOU IF I HAD A KID.

WHAT KIND OF GUY DO YOU THINK I AM?

(ROCK CLATTERS LIGHTLY)

SOMETIMES I PUT DOWN A LITTLE GRANDMOTHER STONE

TO GIVE THANKS.

SOMETIMES TO ASK FOR DIRECTION.

SOMETIMES I LIKE TO SAY A PRAYER

FOR A LOVED ONE WHO'S HURTING, OR...

ONE WHO'S JOURNEYED TO THE SPIRIT WORLD.

YOU MEAN DIED?

NO SUCH THING AS DEATH, MY GIRL.

JUST, UH, A CONTINUATION OF SPIRIT.

A CHANGE OF WORLDS.

AROUND AND AROUND THE WHEEL WE GO.

BUT... I MEAN...

WHAT IS THIS?

VICTOR: IT'S THE SPIRIT OF LIFE.

SOME PEOPLE CALL IT A MEDICINE WHEEL.

AMY: WHAT DOES IT DO?

UH, WE'D BE HERE A LIFETIME

IF I SHARED WITH YOU ALL THE TEACHINGS

MY MOSHUM SHARED WITH ME.

I'LL JUST GIVE YOU THE COLES NOTES VERSION.

THERE ARE FOUR DIRECTIONS, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

VICTOR: THE EAST, SOUTH,

THE WEST, THE NORTH.

OKAY, SO ROOTED IN THOSE FOUR DIRECTIONS

ARE THE FOUR ASPECTS OF SELF:

OUR EMOTIONS,

PHYSICAL BODY,

MIND AND SPIRIT.

TRICKIEST PART IS KEEPING THEM ALL BALANCED.

IF ONE SIDE OF THE WHEEL IS OUT,

ALL SIDES ARE OUT AND WE END UP

WALKING AROUND LIKE THE LEANING TOWER OF PISA.

BUT WHEN WE STAND IN THE CENTRE OF OUR LIVES

AND FIND BALANCE,

THEN WE CAN CONNECT WITH OTHERS

IN A GOOD WAY.

EVEN HORSES.

LITTLE DOORWAY THERE TO THE EAST...

THE DIRECTION OF NEW BEGINNINGS.

WHY DON'T YOU GO STAND IN THE CENTRE OF THE CIRCLE.

(HARLEY NICKERS)

WHOA, WHOA.

TY: (HALF LAUGHS)

JACK: GOT YOURSELF A MIGHTY FINE HORSE THERE.

HE'S PRETTY AWESOME.

'COURSE HE'S STILL HAS A LOT TO LEARN.

BUT HE TRUSTS YOU, THAT'S THE MAIN THING.

YOU WANNA HOLD ONTO THAT.

JUST KEEP BEING CLEAR AND DIRECT WITH HIM.

CAN'T WAFFLE, OTHERWISE, YOU'LL JUST CONFUSE HIM.

(HALF LAUGHS)

OH, ALMOST FORGOT.

KIT CALLED. AGAIN.

SAYS SHE'S BEEN TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF YOU ALL DAY.

PETER: WELL, BASICALLY, WE WERE JUST REALLY GOOD FRIENDS

THAT NEVER SHOULD'VE GOTTEN MARRIED

IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU KNOW?

SO... WE SEPARATED AND, UH...

REMAINED FRIENDS.

WE'RE BOTH A LOT HAPPIER.

BOTH: HMM.

AND YOU SHARE CUSTODY OF MAX?

OH, YEAH. YEAH.

I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LIVE

IF I DIDN'T GET TO SEE OL' MAXY BOY, HERE. HEY?

SO, NOW YOU'VE MET MY DOG,

IT STANDS TO REASON THAT YOU WOULD INTRODUCE ME

TO YOUR FAMILY, RIGHT?

LOU: MY FAMILY?

PETER: (HALF LAUGHS)

DON'T THINK I HAVEN'T NOTICED

YOU'VE BEEN HOLDING ME HOSTAGE

IN THE DUDE RANCH ALL WEEKEND.

NOT THAT I MIND, HONESTLY, BECAUSE I DON'T.

BUT YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD THEM ABOUT ME,

HAVE YOU?

WELL, YOU KNOW, NOT... NOT EXACTLY.

I, UM...

NO, I HAVEN'T. BUT I WILL.

YEAH? YES.

PROMISE?

YES, I PROMISE.

I GOT SOMETHING FOR YA.

I WAS GONNA GIVE IT TO YOU LAST NIGHT,

BUT I GOT THE 911 MAX CALL, SO...

HERE YOU GO.

LOU: OH MY GOD!

PETER, THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL!

YEAH, YOU LIKE 'EM?

YES!

YOU KNOW, I... I CAN'T TAKE THESE.

THEY'RE... THEY'RE WAY TOO MUCH.

HEY. NOTHING IS TOO MUCH FOR LOU FLEMING.

(MAX BARKS)

PETER AND LOU: (LAUGH)

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

LAST TIME YOUR MOM CAME TO SEE ME

SHE THOUGHT SHE HAD LOST HER WAY.

VICTOR: SHE WANTED CLEAR ANSWERS ABOUT HER LIFE:

YES AND NO,

RIGHT AND WRONG,

SHOULD SHE TAKE THIS PATH OR THAT PATH.

UP HERE,

SHE WAS ABLE TO QUIET HER MIND

AND OPEN HER HEART.

SHE LEARNED THE ANSWERS WERE INSIDE OF HER.

NOT OUT THERE SOMEWHERE, BUT IN HERE.

SHE JUST HAD TO TRUST HERSELF.

YOUR MOM WAS A COURAGEOUS WOMAN, AMY.

HER SPIRIT LIVES ON...

IN YOU.

THIS MEDICINE HELPED HER LET GO OF THOSE THINGS

SHE DIDN'T NEED TO BE CARRYING AROUND IN HER HEART.

(FLAME SIZZLES)

MAYBE IT'LL HELP YOU, TOO.
