Original subtitles

(Amy): Previously on Heartland.

Are you Pryce's foreman?

- No. Nathan Pryce Jr. - I'm Amy Fleming.

They stole our ad.

Let me guess. We're no longer exclusive?

They're dropping Heartland Beef altogether.

Together, you were right,

it has been way too long.

Never give up. We fight.

And that's exactly what we're gonna do.

Those initials are my wife's. Tristan and I were

supposed to be each other's ride or die,

- and she cheated on me. - (woman): As you both know,

I've been struggling to figure out what to do

with my life ever since losing the election.

I want to be in the business of ranching.

When can you start?

(Lyndy): Your dog is so pretty!

She knows it too. Her name is Molly.

(Molly barking)

(Gentle music)

??? (birds singing)

Hey, come on! Hup, come on! (indistinct speaking)

- Hup, let's go! - Seventy-three.

Number seventy-three, folks.

- Got him? - Come on!

- That's it. - Come on, come on!

- Let's go! - Move it!

Come on, cows.

Not so hard, champ, not so hard.

(horse whinnying) Easy!

Let's go! (cows mooing)

(horse snorting) Come on, cow.

(whinnying) Hup! Hup!

- Good job, Lou! - Come on!

- Attagirl! - Come on!

Yep!

(horse snorting)

??? (cows mooing)

Hup!

???

(clangs)

(clangs)

(clangs)

(eagle screams)

- Hey, Nathan. - Amy.

New horse?

Not exactly.

His name's Stetson. (Molly barking)

He's the rope horse from my dad's rodeo school.

He's blowing up in the arena, so I'm trying to work with him.

Do you ever stop working?

I can't spend all my time cloud gazing.

(laughs) Right.

About that, uh�

I think Lyndy was messing with me;

there is no way that cloud looked like a flamingo.

I don't know, I saw it too.

- Really? - Yeah.

Oh, I guess I'm just bad at cloud gazing.

Don't think you can be bad

at cloud gazing, you just have to have an imagination.

(laughs)

Oh, I hope I didn't imagine that we had a great time.

No.

We should go out tonight.

There's a band playing in town, I, uh�

I can't remember what they're called, but�

�I heard they're good.

Tonight?

Unless you're busy.

No.

All right, it's a date.

Pick you up at 7.

I better get some work done.

- Okay. - Molly, come on.

That'll do.

(cows mooing) Shh, shh, shh, shh.

(Molly barking) Hey, cow. Hey, cow.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Come on! (Molly barks)

(thud) (Molly yelps)

(cow moos loudly)

Molly? Tchk-tchk!

(Molly whimpering) Hey.

Are you okay? What's going on?

(Lou): The nerve of him. Look at this.

(Tim): I can't believe it.

This whole time, he was working against us.

(Lou): I should go over there, give him a piece of my mind.

(Jack): A lot of good that'll do. What's done is done.

Is everything okay?

No, everything is not okay.

Look at this.

"Pryce Beef, now available at Garland Foods."

We suspected all along, but there it is, full colour.

Nathan Pryce stole Garland

right out from under us.

We're not taking this lying down.

If he wants a war, he's got one.

(theme music)

?? And at the break of day ?

? You sink into ?

? A dream ?

? You dreamer ?

? You dreamer ?

? You dreamer ??

(distant horse whinnies)

Hey, Nathan.

Um, I think we should probably just meet in town tonight.

What?

Well, your ad in the Hudson Times

is getting a pretty big reaction over here,

and I don't think it's the best time for you

to just stop and then pick me up.

Aw, I don't think I'm gonna make it tonight, Amy.

- I was just about to call you. - What's wrong?

Um, Molly got kicked

while herding cattle.

Oh, no. Is she all right?

I don't know.

She's pretty winded. I'm taking her to the vet now.

Well, I� I hope she's gonna be okay.

Yeah, me too. I'll call you later.

Okay, bye.

(sighs) (engine revs up)

(clanking)

So? (Jack sighs)

What's the verdict?

We're down two more feet.

How long before we run out?

I don't know. It depends.

If we get a month of rain, we'll be fine.

Well, we better tell the girls.

No. Not yet.

Things are bad enough since we lost Garland,

and there's no point in getting everyone more worked up.

So let's just wait and see if things improve.

(door closes) (indistinct chatter)

(indistinct country song playing)

Oh, I love that book.

(chuckles) Of course, I've always been

a sucker for a gothic romance.

I actually dated a guy in college

named Heathcliff.

(giggles) Yeah, true story.

And much like the book, it did not end well.

Sorry. Spoiler.

Uh, can I get you a coffee or something?

Oh, no. I actually just wanted to post

something on your bulletin board.

- Who should I ask about that? - That would be me.

- I'm the assistant manager. - Oh, nice!

Well, I am teaching a creative writing class at the library.

You should sign up.

What makes you think I'm interested in writing?

Well, you're reading Bront� in

a world full of people glued to their phones.

Plus, I can spot a creative soul from a mile away.

I hope to see you there.

?? I was running, running, running ?

? Now I'm dancing ??

(Lou): Thank you so much!

I'm so glad you picked us.

Absolutely. Mm-hmm.

I will call back first thing in the morning.

Okay. Have a great night.

Good news?

You know that morning show,

- Sunrise Calgary? - Yeah.

I pitched them on doing a segment

on the Heartland Cookbook.

- Well, that's great. - Yeah.

The producers were really taken by our wholesome recipes.

They were particularly interested in your beef stew.

(Jack chuckles) Is that so?

They want you to make it live on air.

Me? On TV? I don't think so.

I'm not interested in being in the spotlight.

It's your cookbook, you do it.

They don't want me.

Look, the producer thinks that the audience would react

better to a cowboy like you.

They think you're classic.

You sure they didn't say Jurassic?

Can you please just think about it?

Look, we need to start doing our own marketing.

Nathan dealt us a major blow,

but this could be a big win for us.

Okay, I'll think about it.

Amy, Katie, Lyndy, dinner!

Oh, and by the way, would it kill you two

to take out your walkie-talkies tomorrow?

I bought them so we could stay in touch.

Uh, Mom, there's a creative writing class at the library

I'm thinking of signing up for.

- Would that be okay? - Yeah, of course.

When I was 15, I basically lived at the library.

Dinner time!

Obviously, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

(Jack): Tim, quit eating all the buns!

- Oh, Amy. - Looks yummy!

How did it go with Stetson today?

Oh, really good. We went on a trail ride and he was great.

That's all?

Well, taking him outside of the arena

is a big part of the cross-training, Dad.

Well, keep working with him.

He's my best roping horse; I need him back pronto.

Yeah.

Okay, let's eat.

Hey, I just have to run a quick errand;

do you mind keeping an ear out in case Lyndy wakes up?

What kind of errand do you have to run

at this time of night?

(Amy sighs)

If I tell you, do you promise to do something for me?

Uh� okay.

Okay, I need you to take your Heartland Beef CEO hat off

and put your sister hat on for a minute.

Oh, I'm more of a managing director, part-time labourer.

(Lou exhales)

Sister hat on.

I'm going to see Nathan.

We were supposed to go out tonight

and then his dog got injured, so�

wait, wait, wait. Back up.

Go out? Like the two of you?

On a date?

Yeah.

(sighs)

Do you like him?

I think so.

Can't say I'm surprised; I saw the way you two were

looking at each other at Shane�s wedding.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I'm scared.

What makes you scared?

I don't know anything about him.

I ask him something and I get a two-word answer

or he just changes the subject completely.

Nathan's a hard guy to get to know.

Kind of seems to be your type lately.

Oh, that's real nice.

Well�

look at Finn.

He was a man of few words also,

and� let's just hope

Nathan doesn't have as many skeletons in his closet.

I don't want to go through that again.

I can't be with someone who�

keeps secrets, but� I feel like

the more I get to know Nathan, the more he'll open up.

- But Nathan Pryce and� - All right, Lou.

- Do you have any idea� - Yes.

� how complicated that's gonna be?

I know.

And that's why you can't tell Dad or Grandpa.

- Not yet anyway. - Trust me, I won't.

Thank you.

I won't be long.

(Lou sighs) (door closes)

(crickets chirping)

(truck door closes)

I saw the light on.

Come in. (Molly whimpering softly)

- What did the vet say? - Oh.

Physically, she's fine.

I can tell she's just not herself.

- She's afraid of cows. - Really?

I was so worried about her, I almost let her sleep

in the house.

(chuckles)

But I was� I was strong, I didn't give in.

Instead, you're sleeping with her in the barn.

Brought you some dinner.

Thank you.

Appreciate you dropping by, Amy. It means a lot.

This has been a week,

let me tell you.

Is everything okay? I mean, other than Molly?

Uh, I just got a lot going on right now.

With work or something else?

Something else.

But honestly, I�m� I'm fine.

Nathan�

I'm a pretty good listener

if you just want someone to talk to.

What am I gonna do with a cattle dog

that's afraid of cattle?

(small laugh)

You do realize that you just brought

the subject back to Molly, right?

I guess I'm just not into midnight confessionals.

???

You could try her on sheep.

They're less intimidating

than cows, it might help build her confidence.

I don't have any sheep.

I know a guy.

(chuckles) Of course you do.

Well, it's getting late, I should go.

Good night, Nathan.

Night.

(truck door closes) Don't look at me like that.

(truck engine revs up)

(eagle screams) ???

?? Take what you can, she said ?

? Let the rest go up in flames ?

? We'll be all right, I bet ?

? It's the faces in the frames ?

? That keep the house home anyway ?

(Stetson snorts)

? Take my hand, she said ? Come on, Stetson.

You got this. Hey! Hey!

(Stetson whinnies) Easy, boy.

? No, was born to ride it out ?

? Oh oh oh ?

? There's only one thing that you've got to know ?

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

? We'll just shift away ?

Hey, hey, hey.

Stetson. You'll be fine. ? And what leads you up ?

? Will lay you low ?

? That's it, that's all ? Try again.

(Stetson whinnies)

Easy, Stetson.

Hey, hey, easy. (Stetson whinnying)

? Oh oh, steady as she goes ?

? Take what you can ? (Stetson whinnies)

? Oh oh ?

? Steady as she goes, oh oh oh ?

? Oh oh ??

Whoa! That's it.

Hey.

Should we go again?

No, I think I'm gonna call it a day.

You know, I really don't understand this guy.

He is like the perfect horse outside of the arena.

Yeah, I mean, he's willing to work,

he just doesn't want to perform.

Yeah.

Maybe, uh� maybe he should retire from rodeo school.

Oh, good. Try telling that one to my dad.

Yeah, I'll let you handle that one.

Uh, I think I gotta go anyway, so�

- I got an interview. - An interview for what?

Uh� they need seasonal ranch hands over at Nathan's.

You're getting another job?

Look, my truck's in the shop

and I-I can't afford the repairs, so�

I could advance you your next paycheque.

How about the next five?

Sorry. Would if I could.

Yeah, it's okay. Thanks anyway.

Oh, good, you're both here.

I have news, big news.

I hope it's not another morning talk show.

Uh, way better.

I just had a meeting with the manager of a hospitality group

who owns restaurants all across the country�

and they're interested in making Heartland

their exclusive beef provider.

Amazing. That's amazing, Lou.

It is. It is.

And there's only just one small catch.

They need us to provide bison as well.

Well, we don't raise bison.

Yeah. Not yet, but we could.

Do you know how much it would cost to start a bison herd?

Actually, I know exactly how much it would cost.

These numbers are based on 39 heifer yearlings.

Commodity prices as of yesterday,

which obviously could change.

But take a look at the bottom.

That is the pre-tax revenue stream.

And that's net of expenses

like new and higher fencing, additional vet bills.

Plus, there's opportunity for extra cash flow

if we sell some of the yearlings

as bred two-year-olds before they calf.

I appreciate all the work you've done,

but it's� it's not realistic.

Uh, why� why not?

I think you should tell this hospitality group

we'll provide them with all the beef they need;

they're just gonna have to get their bison elsewhere.

- That'll kill the deal. - It's not a good fit, Lou!

Okay, what is happening here?

Why are you both being so hard-headed about this?

Grandpa, on the cattle drive, you said you were gonna fight;

were those just empty words?

I meant what I said.

Finding new markets for our beef,

taking risks on new revenue streams, like bison;

this is how we beat Nathan Pryce,

this is how we fight!

I'm out there every day

fighting for that herd, and so is your father.

No! No, you're not!

You're just doing the exact same thing you've always done,

and that is� that is not fighting, that is giving up!

No one is giving up! Lou, come on!

Tim and I will spend some time thinking about it,

and we'll let you know.

Thinking about it?

The way you're thinking about the morning shows?

It's another way of saying no.

You know, I�m� I'm gonna go change,

don't leave without me.

And don't forget your walkie-talkies!

(Molly barks) (Nathan): Come by!

(sheep bleating) Wait! Wait!

Walk up! Walk up! Lie down!

Walk up.

(Molly barking) (sheep bleating)

(metal gate closing)

(Molly barks)

Molly's pretty good, isn't she?

(Lyndy): She's amazing! (Amy chuckles)

Ah, it's actually kind of fun.

I might trade my chaps in for a sheep herding crook.

Hmm, my family would probably be pretty excited about that.

(Nathan laughs)

Can I go play with Molly, please?

Yeah. Of course you can. (sheep bleating)

You know, I half thought you were joking

about your sheep guy.

Oh, no. Nathan, I would never joke about my sheep guy.

(laughs) Well, he really pulled through.

- Thanks for setting that up. - Yeah.

Molly is way more herself today.

(Amy): Well, my sheep guy mentioned something

that might help Molly even more.

Oh, yeah? What's that?

There's a sheepdog trial this weekend.

You should enter her. It might help build her confidence.

I don't know.

Sheepdog people and cattle-dog people are different breeds.

And, uh� I'd be the only cowboy there.

Well, it's a good thing it's not about you.

It's about your dog.

Okay.

How about a deal?

Hmmm�

I'll enter Molly, but only if you come with me.

Okay, deal. (cellphone buzzing)

- Great. - Ah.

Sorry. I should take this, it's a client.

(beep) Mm-hmm.

Hello?

Hey. Hey.

- (Amy): Hi.. - I got a question for you.

If you were, uh�

say, you were planning a special meal for your mom,

like, say, for her birthday or Mother's Day,

what would you make her?

That's easy.

Blueberry waffles and clementines.

They're her favourite.

All right.

Sounds good. All right.

Well, thank you very much.

What are we supposed to be looking at?

The creek.

- What creek? - Exactly.

There used to be one here for as long as I can remember.

It was down to a trickle last year,

and� and now it's gone.

So what does that mean?

Are we running out of water?

(Tim): We're not there yet.

Groundwater levels are pretty low.

Why didn't you tell me?!

I� I wouldn't have suggested

the bison idea if I'd known we were running out of water.

Your dad wanted to say something, I told him not to.

I guess I was trying to protect you.

Protect me from what?

You think I can't handle bad news?

I don't want you and your sister to worry for no reason.

Three weeks of rain will solve everything.

But there isn't three weeks of rain in the forecast, is there?

(Jack sighs) No.

Grandpa, you can't just think of me as your granddaughter

who needs protecting.

I'm your business partner,

I need to know everything about this beef business,

the good and the bad, or I can't do my job!

I know that now.

So from now on, we'll fill you in

on the big picture, I promise.

(crow cawing)

(exhales)

So, we have no market for our beef

and we're running low on water.

Yeah.

(indistinct chatter)

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, I'm really excited for her, so�

yeah, me too. Yeah. (indistinct chatter)

- Hey, really nice to meet you. - You too.

Yeah. I guess we're gonna get started, huh?

- Is this seat taken? - No, no. Please go ahead.

- Hi. - Hi.

(indistinct chatter) ???

(loud clattering) Oh! Oh!

Sorry, I-I� I'm in the wrong room.

No. No, you're not. It's Katie, right?

I'm glad you came!

This� this was a huge mistake.

I-I'm sorry, I have to go.

Oh no, wait.

???

(cow mooing)

Looks like Stetson's back to his old self.

Not exactly.

He's still blowing up in the arena.

But out here, he's the perfect rope horse.

What does that mean?

He's done competing.

I know you don't want to hear this,

but� Dad, you should consider retiring him.

You're right.

I don't want to hear this.

He's eager to please.

You know, just because he doesn't need to compete

anymore doesn't mean that he doesn't have a lot to offer.

He'd make someone the perfect ranch horse.

No, I need him at the rodeo school,

and I cannot afford to buy another one.

He'll come back around, Amy.

Just� keep trying.

Yeah, I'll keep trying.

But it feels wrong.

He's not just arena sour, Dad,

he desperately wants to do something else.

I think maybe you should let him.

(dog barking) (sheep bleating)

(announcer): Our first dog up for the day

is off to a solid start.

He's keeping them moving.

Handler and sheepdog working well together.

These two have a strong connection.

(Molly barks) (people cheering)

(Amy): Hey.

- Thanks for coming. - Of course.

I wouldn't miss Molly's big day.

I still don't know how you convinced me to do this.

I really do not belong here.

I don't think I've ever seen you nervous before.

Yeah, well� this isn't my world.

Sort of like�

the working cow horse competition wasn't my world?

- How did you get through that? - I almost didn't.

Right after the reining class,

I about packed up and went home.

And then some friendly neighbour came and talked to me,

and after that I just felt better.

Hmm�

if only there was a friendly neighbour here

to give me some advice.

Yeah, if only.

All right, let's see what I can do here.

When my daughter is feeling scared

to face a new challenge,

I take her hand like this and I say,

"you are stronger and braver than you believe,

and nothing can stand in your way."

Wow.

Powerful stuff. (Amy chuckles)

Oh, and, uh, focus on your dog's body language.

- That one's from the sheep guy. - Right, yeah. Got it.

So� you're still nervous?

No, not anymore.

Good.

(woman): Whoa, oh!

Molly! I haven't seen you since you were a puppy.

I can't believe you remember me.

Hello, Nathan.

What are you doing here?

My husband is competing in the competition with our dog, Rex.

We drove in from Montana this morning.

I never, in a million years,

thought I'd see you at one of these things.

- Hello. - Hi. Uh�

Uh, Amy, this is� this is Tristan, my ex-wife.

So, are you entered in the competition with Molly?

- Yeah. We're going later today. - That's wonderful.

Um� good luck.

I should probably go find Seth.

It was good to see you, Nathan.

(Molly panting)

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

(announcer): And Joe, his dog Ace

from Calgary come away with 75 points.

Next up,

Seth and his dog Rex from Montana.

(vehicle approaching)

What are you doing?

Why are you fixing Nathan Pryce's fence?

What?

Oh, this is� this is Nathan Pryce's fence?

Oh, I didn't� I didn't know. I just�

I can see his brand right there on your horse.

Look, I'm just� I'm working for him part-time.

Well, why would you do that for a few extra bucks?

This is temporary so I can afford to fix my truck.

- Does Jack know? - No.

Look, can we just keep this between us?

Depends.

Depends on� on what?

I'd like to know how much beef

Nathan is selling Garland and at what price.

I know he's undercutting us,

I'd love to know by how much.

How am I supposed to know that?

I don't even speak to Nathan.

- I just deal with his foreman. - Perfect.

Just glance at the foreman's desk,

see if you see any paperwork from Garland.

So, you want me to spy for you?

(Tim scoffs)

Did I say something about spying?

I'm saying keep your eyes and ears open.

You know, you come across anything interesting,

you just let me know.

It's literally the definition of spying.

(scoffs)

(announcer): Rex did a good job

driving those sheep towards

the second set of panels.

He's keeping them moving,

and that is exactly what the judges are looking for.

Looks like Rex is having no problem.

He comes around that panel and is now heading

- towards the pen. - (Seth): All right, come on!

- A little stumble there. - Come on!

Rex is working hard getting those sheep

back towards the pen.

Nicely done. (sheep bleating)

And that is how you do it, folks!

What a run!

Looks like Rex is now

in first place with a score

of 87 points.

That is gonna be a tough score to beat.

(small laughter) (applause)

Why aren't you taking shadow?

Amy said she might need him later,

so Lyndy said I could use Harley

as long as I brush him,

feed him, clean out his stall when I'm done.

So basically,

you're exercising Lyndy's horse

and doing all her chores.

I just got played by a 7-year-old.

(Lou chuckles) I'll see you out there.

Hey, I want you both to know that, uh� I haven't given up.

This ranch isn't going down. Not on my watch.

(Harley neighs) Come on.

Lou is really stepping up, don't you think?

Yeah, she is.

I feel kind of bad that we haven't been more receptive

to her ideas.

If you're really feeling bad, maybe you should

think about doing that morning show.

Ah� I'm not so keen on that.

Besides, why should Lou and I be the only ones stepping up?

What are you doing?

Actually, I got an idea.

(Molly panting)

Hey, Molly.

Don't mind if I join you?

Uh, sorry for disappearing like that, I� just needed

a second.

I don't blame you.

Yeah. (laughs softly).

Sheepdog people, right? (Amy chuckles)

If you want to call it a day, I would understand.

I don't know.

No way I'm dropping out now.

Nathan, I know how much Tristan hurt you.

And it's okay to just

not be okay.

I'm fine.

Promise.

Okay.

(clears his throat)

Come on, girl, let's go.

Come on!

(announcer): Next up, we have Nathan Pryce and his dog, Molly.

Keep in mind, the high score right now is 87.

Molly will have to pull off

a near-perfect run to beat that.

All right, Molly, come on, girl.

Way to me. (Molly barking)

(sheep bleating) ???

(announcer): Well, this is a very strong

start for Molly.

She's fetching those sheep and driving them

towards the first set of panels like a real pro.

Hey.

- It's Amy, right? - Yeah.

(Nathan): Walk up!

I'm really happy that Nathan has found someone.

We're just friends.

It's not what it looked like to me, but okay.

(Molly panting) (sheep bleats)

Wait. (sheep bleating)

I'm glad that Nathan has a friend.

He doesn't make those easily.

(Nathan): Come by, Molly. Come back.

(announcer): Molly's focused.

She's keeping those sheep on track.

You must think I'm a horrible person.

(Nathan): Come by.

I don't know what you mean.

Cheating on him is my biggest regret.

(Nathan): Lie down!

But back when we were married,

even� before then,

Nathan was�

(Nathan): Way. Way to me. Way.

He was always a closed book.

(Nathan): Come by, Molly. Come back.

He never let me in.

(announcer): Looks like Molly is moving

well towards the second set of panels.

Early on, I think I� was attracted to the mystery,

but eventually it just got so lonely that I�

No, this is really none of my business.

(announcer): Here she comes now.

(Nathan): Come by, Molly.

I just wanted you to know my side of the story.

(Molly barking)

(announcer): Well, Molly has cleared the sheep around

the second set of panels with barely

a stumble.

Now, if Molly can

drive those sheep into the pen

without deviating, she has

a real chance of beating

Rex's current high score of 87.

(Molly panting)

Lie down!

(announcer): Wasn't that something, folks?

A near perfect run for Molly!

Let's see if the judges agree.

They certainly do, Molly is now

in the lead with 89 points!

(cheering)

Good girl. Good girl.

???

Hey, hey.

How did it go with Pryce's foreman?

Get any intel?

No, I didn't get anything. I got fired.

What?! You got fired?

For asking a couple of questions?

No, I got fired because I was so nervous about spying for you

that I backed a tractor into the fence.

So thanks for that. (Tim chuckles)

It's not funny.

- Kind of funny. - No, it's not.

How am I supposed to pay for my truck repairs now?!

Okay, relax.

You get your truck here, we'll get it sorted out.

You� you think Jack would have a look at it for me?

Why does everybody think that Jack is

the only mechanic around here?

I fix things. I'll fix your truck.

Get it towed here before I change my mind.

Thanks, Tim.

And the next time you feel the need

to make some extra cash,

come and work for me at the rodeo school.

You don't need to go to Pryce.

Keep in the family.

(indistinct chatter)

Hey. I brought you something.

If you were swept away by Wuthering Heights,

then you're gonna love Rebecca.

- I-I can't take your book. - Why?

Just return it to me whenever you're done!

Okay. Uh, thank you. (indistinct song playing)

Yeah, no problem.

Listen, about yesterday�

Oh, it's� it's okay.

- I know why you left. - You do?

Yeah.

It's called impostor syndrome.

It's that feeling when you're in a room full of writers

and you just don't think you're good enough to be there.

Trust me, I have felt that way too.

Right.

Are you in creative writing classes at college?

Oh, I-I'm not in college.

Oh, right. Sorry.

Obviously, you don't have to go to college

to become a writer.

In fact, working at a diner is way better life experience.

I can only imagine the characters

that walk through that door.

Yeah.

Haven't thought about it like that.

No?

Well, listen.

I am the writer in residence at the library,

and I'll be there for the next few months,

so if ever you want to show me your work,

just stop by in my office anytime, okay?

Or you could always come back to class,

but� no pressure.

Genuinely.

Okay.

(door closes)

I don't want to put too much stock in it.

Tristan's probably just trying to justify why she cheated.

Or� it could be a giant red flag.

I mean� look, you told me just a few nights ago

that Nathan was a hard man to know.

And now his ex-wife is saying the exact same thing,

and in fact, it ruined their marriage.

So what? I'm just supposed to trust the opinion of a stranger?

No.

But you're supposed to trust your instincts.

I didn't with Finn.

(sighs) Why is this so hard?

Hey.

You have a good heart�

you're right to protect it.

It's a good thing you're so strong.

I don't feel very strong right now.

That's why you have me, okay?

- Okay? - Tim: Lou, come in.

Dad's using the walkie-talkie?

Miracles never cease.

Sorry.

Uh� Lou here.

Go ahead.

We need to see you in the barn.

Uh, bring your sister.

Uh, over.

Come on.

- Everything okay? - Everything's great.

We have something for you.

Now that you're coming out

with us most days,

we figured you can't keep borrowing Shadow and Harley.

It's high time you had your own horse.

Lou, meet Stetson.

(Stetson neighs softly)

You're giving me a horse?

Not unlike Jack and I,

Stetson is retired from the rodeo,

but still has a lot to offer.

- Right, Amy? - It's right.

I don't know what to say.

Thank you.

You worked hard, you deserve it.

(softly): Thank you.

(Jack chuckles)

- (Tim): Is it on yet? - (Lou): No, but hurry.

There's GG. (Lou gasps)

Quick, quick, turn it up!

We're back with Jack Bartlett, owner of Heartland Ranch,

and he's here to make what I'm told is

his world-famous beef stew.

I don't know that it's world-famous, but�

well, maybe now that I'm on TV, it will be.

- (Lou): Ah. - (host): Before we get started,

where can our viewers find this recipe?

Uh�

- I know this. - Oh�

- Ah. - Just�

just head to�

head to heartlandranch.net.

That's where you can find our cookbook here

and order your organic,

grass-fed beef delivered straight to your home.

Go, Grandpa!

Tell us a little bit about what it's like

to live and work on a ranch.

Well, you got good days and bad.

Maybe there's been a few more

bad days lately than I'd like.

What's he doing?

Grandpa, keep it positive;

we want them to buy our beef, not send donations.

A small family-run ranch, like ours, it's

the exception nowadays, it's not the rule.

Sometimes it seems like the odds are stacked against us,

but, honestly�

there isn't anything that I'd rather be doing

and nobody else I'd rather be doing it with.

What's it like working and living on a ranch?

Well, it ain't easy, I'll tell you that.

The only way to survive is�

is to have passion

and perseverance.

And in my day, we called that true grit.

Thanks for that, Jack.

What do you say we make some stew?

Giddy up.

(laughs softly)

Hello, everyone! (indistinct song playing)

Welcome back.

Okay, I would like to begin today's class

with some stream of consciousness writing,

but before we start,

can anyone tell me what an associative thought is?

Anybody?

Yeah.

Is that like when a narrator connects two thoughts

that seem like they're completely disconnected?

Yeah, exactly. Very good.

All right, so we're all gonna open our books,

and I want you to choose a topic.

Any topic and there's no� (fades to indistinct speaking)

(indistinct song continues)

- Hey. - Hey.

Mind if I join you? I want to put some miles on Stetson.

- I'd love the company. - All right.

- I'll tack him up. - Okay.

(cellphone buzzing)

- I'll be right back. - Okay.

- Hey. - Nathan: Guess what?

Molly's been herding cattle all morning.

You were right about the sheep.

That's great to hear.

Any chance you've got some time for a little meet-up?

Um�

I can't. I'm going for a ride with my sister.

Well, how about later?

We never got a chance to go on that date,

and I'd like to make up for it.

I don't think so.

Okay.

Uh�

another time then?

Goodbye, Nathan.

Bye.

?? Don't let it take your life away ?

? I'll never stay ?

? Don't let it bury you away ?

? You're brave ?

? In all your pain ?

Come on.

? I will carry you always ??
