Original subtitles

Previously, on Heartland.

What exactly are

your intentions with my sister? She deserves a good person.

- That's not me. - I don't know. Is it?

I am teaching a creative writing class

at the library. You should sign up.

(gasps) (chair clatters)

I've seen some drought before, but this feels different.

I just met with the manager of a hospitality group.

- They need us to provide bison. - But we don't raise bison.

Not yet, but we could.

I'm Brandon. A.K.A. Top Gun.

How is Nate? Is he coming up here anytime soon?

He's moving a little slower than he used to.

Still formidable, though.

(hollering)

Looks like our ranches are tied together for a while, huh?

It would seem so.

(Nathan chuckles) (Amy sighs)

(uplifting music)

(soft music)

(horse grunts)

- OK, thank you for the ride. - Lisa, I know you're nervous.

I'm not nervous! I�I just can't imagine

what there's left for me to deal with around Dan's estate.

The lawyer made it sound urgent.

How weird is that, considering how much time has passed?

I don't� heh!

I think I'm nervous. I guess I'm nervous.

I'd be happy to come in with you if you'd like.

No, no. You go do your appointment,

and I'll fill you in on everything after.

Come here. (kiss)

OK. Bye.

(soft music)

I got it!

I got the job.

What job?

I am going to be the official photographer

for the team studying endangered wild horses

in the American West.

Amazing!

They're on your head.

Most people have never even laid eyes on these horses.

And I am going to be right there, up close,

with unfettered access.

It's like a dream come true.

But I have so much that I have to do.

I have to make sure that the gallery is taken care of,

and I'm going to have to get way more film.

Great.

What's the rush?

How long do you go for, a weekend?

Well, I leave in a week�

- For a month. - A month?

I know it's fast, and it's unexpected,

but it's just a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I'll see you at dinner.

OK.

- I can't believe I got it. - Congratulations.

(pensive music)

(tense music)

(car engine starts) (dog barks)

Hey.

- Hey. - Nice to see you.

How are things at the ranch?

Better, now that the water situation's figured out.

Uh, that's actually why I'm here.

Lou wants you to sign the agreement

for the shared well access.

Thanks.

Uh, that's not what it looks like.

Yeah, just drop that by the ranch when you can.

Amy.

See you.

("Dreamer" by Jenn Grant)

?? And at the break of day ?

? You sink into ?

? A dream ?

? You dreamer ?

? You dreamer ?

(intriguing music)

Amy, I am so sorry.

I meant to talk to you before Rick came over,

but things just happened quickly.

Meant to talk to me about what?

He's having trouble with Maestro here,

and I kind of told him you would help.

Uh, promised Amy would help?

Yeah, well, that's accurate.

I didn't even know you had a horse.

Oh, he's not mine.

Maestro's supposed to play in a charity polo match

that I organized, but�

He's not all he was promised to be.

(Amy sighs)

Lot of ranchers hurting right now.

Hate to spill the tea, but�

I've been hearing whispers about Heartland Beef.

Seems they've been bleeding so much money

since Garland dumped them.

Word is, they are quietly shopping the ranch.

Oh, for crying out loud!

Jack, heh-heh. Didn't see you come in.

What? Where you going? Don't you want a shave or a haircut?

All this talk about bleeding, I'm not in the mood.

Oh, come on, Jack. I was just�

Spreading rumours and hearsay.

As much as you hate to do that, right, Leo?

(light music)

(Maestro grunts) (Amy clicking her tongue)

Well, I don't play polo,

but Maestro seems fast and agile.

Yeah. Well�

(Maestro screams) Whoa. It's OK.

He's afraid of the mallet.

That's the first problem, yes.

He also doesn't like other horses charging at him.

Well, those aren't great qualities for a polo horse.

Yeah, I know.

Can't you just use a different horse?

He's not just playing in the match.

He's a gift for a distinguished visiting dignitary

who may or may not have ties to the royal family.

What? Rick, you didn't tell me that part.

The town can't afford to gift an expensive polo horse,

but Maestro is the same lineage

as the dignitary's favourite horse who just passed away.

He's the perfect gift.

Yeah, except that he hates polo.

But you can help him, right?

Why are you being so persistent on this?

Heartland Beef is sponsoring the charity event

and catering the post-match dinner.

Ticket sales are already a little sluggish.

The last thing I need is for Maestro not to perform well.

The whole event could end up being a disaster.

It's just not the kind of publicity we need

right now, Amy.

(Amy sighs)

OK. I will try, but no promises.

Of course. Thank you so much.

Told you.

(Lisa sighs)

Uh-oh.

There's a face I don't like to see.

Everything OK?

Loose-lips Leo was at it again.

Oh, he certainly earns his nickname, doesn't he?

It was about us this time.

Apparently, we're going out of business

and selling the ranch.

Where did he get that?

Oh, he didn't get it from anywhere.

He's just a gossip. Let's not dwell on it.

I'd rather� I'd rather know how you are.

- What happened at the lawyer? - The strangest news.

So, it turns out Dan bought burial plots

when we were married that got missed in the divorce.

So, I still own mine.

Well, that's quite the discovery.

What are you going to do with it?

Sell it.

Unless I want to be buried next to Dan,

which obviously I do not.

You know, I should tell Val it's for sale.

I'm sure she'd jump at the chance

to snuggle up next to Dan.

Yeah, right. (Jack chuckles)

Well, I guess that's settled then.

Yeah, I guess it is.

Well, I'm sort of glad that happened.

Why?

Well, we haven't talked about our own plans

for after we, you know�

Kick the bucket.

But we probably should discuss it.

Yeah, yeah, you're right, but I'd really rather have

a big glass of wine in my hand when we did.

That sounds like a good idea.

(Jack chuckles)

(light music)

A toast to my beautiful, talented wife

- and her new gig. - (all): Cheers.

I can't wait to see all the images when you get back.

You're going to have a whole new exhibit for the gallery.

It is so rare to get this opportunity, honestly.

I can't believe it's happening.

And I'm just glad that you're not leaving too early

or you would miss meeting the polo-playing prince

at the charity match.

I want to meet a prince.

No, Rick never said there was a prince.

I know, but maybe it's not a prince,

but it could be a duke or a viscount.

What's a viscount?

I don't know, actually, but it's something royal.

Hey, Jess, I was wondering if maybe you had time

to give me a hand.

I could use someone with your polo-playing experience

to help me with Maestro.

Yeah, of course. I'm free tomorrow morning.

That would be great. Thank you.

Yeah, thank you.

This match is very high profile,

and Maestro needs to be in top form.

Heartland is the exclusive sponsor.

- Mm? - Mm-hmm.

The publicity is going to go a long way

to building our brand back up.

And then, who knows?

Maybe we can revisit the, uh, bison idea.

- Lou. - What?

The water issue is solved. Things are looking up.

Maybe you should tell them what you heard in town today.

Oh, it's no big deal.

Just gossip at the barbershop.

Stuff about Heartland Beef being in trouble.

It was ridiculous.

People saying we're putting the ranch up for sale.

What?! Jack, that's a huge deal.

Things can't be that bad, can they?

No, of course not, honey, but Dad's right.

I mean, Rick mentioned the ticket sales are sluggish.

What if it's because of these rumours?

Exactly. That's why we need to stand up for ourselves.

No, we take the high road and ignore it.

Eventually, they'll all get tired of talking about us

and move on to something else.

Jack� rumours are like fires.

You ignore them long enough, they run out of control.

(sad music)

(bird of prey cries)

I think you might have borrowed enough books

to start your own library. (Katie laughs)

They'll maybe last me the week.

Heh, OK.

Thanks for coming. I know it's not really your thing.

Well, no, no. There were some cool books in there.

So what's up this weekend? Dirt biking?

Definitely.

Oh, and there's also this cool monster truck rally

that I've always wanted to go to.

(sighs) It's so cool.

Sometimes the guy, he'll ride his truck up on one wheel

and then he'll just do a freaking backflip.

It's awesome.

But, um, I guess it's not really your thing, is it?

No, no, it sounds cool. Or different, anyways.

When is it?

(Announcer voice): Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.

We'll sell you the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge.

(regular voice): Uh� Would you want to go?

If you want to, we could grab some food at Maggie's before.

Sure, sounds fun.

As long as you keep doing your announcer voice.

OK.

(Announcer voice): Get ready for Hudson's event of the year

because the big rigs are coming to town!

(pensive music)

I can't believe Jack last night.

You know, I can't just sit around here

while these rumours about us run rampant.

Jess, what is that?

(chuckles)

It's a letter from my dad.

I haven't talked to him in decades,

and now all of a sudden, out of the blue,

he sends me a letter.

I don't even know how he found me.

What'd he say?

His health isn't good.

He's getting on in years,

and he wants me to come and visit him in New Hampshire.

I guess he wants to see me before.

Hmm. I get it.

I can go with you.

Well, I don't know if I'm going.

Well, I know things weren't good between the two of you�

I haven't talked to him in 30 years,

and now what, I'm just supposed to drop everything?

Give up my dream job

to be there for someone who has never been there for me?

No.

No, I'm not going!

I gotta get out and help Amy.

(lively music)

(grunts and snorts)

Well, that looks great. How does he feel?

Well, it seems like he's got a lot of potential.

You want to try the equipment?

Yeah, I was just thinking the same.

I've done some desensitizing,

and he definitely feels more comfortable,

but go slow.

I want to make sure he's good with the mallet.

Jess? You OK?

Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. Ah.

(adventurous music)

(Maestro neighing) Whoa! Oh!

Jessica? (Jess exhales heavily)

- Jess? You OK? - Oh, yeah.

I guess he wasn't ready, was he?

I'm sorry, Amy.

I really wanted to help.

I just�

I've got a lot going on in my mind with this new job,

and I just� I don't know, maybe now is not the right time.

No, it's OK. I appreciate you trying.

(Jess sighs)

(tense music)

Now, what can I do for you today?

Uh� just a trim.

You want me to go around the hat or through it?

Oh.

Uh�

Need a little Intel.

Oh, yeah? What do you need to know?

Where'd you hear those Heartland rumours?

Oh, you know, Tim, how it goes.

- Here and there, there and here. - Cut the BS.

You know none of it's true. Jack would never sell his ranch.

Even after that Garland fiasco?

Fiasco? We're happy to be rid of those guys.

They're not a family-run grocery store anymore.

They're a faceless corporation, and that's not our brand.

Ah, good for you. Don't go down without a fight.

- We're not going down. - No, of course not!

And I never believed any of that stuff about your product.

What about our product?

Just stupid rumours that you shouldn't pay any attention to

that Garland dumped you because you were having quality issues.

- What?! - That's what I said!

What?! Ridiculous!

- Who said that? - What's it matter?

It's all lies, right?

(horses neighing)

Maestro.

It's OK.

It's OK. Hey.

- Hi. - Hi.

Brought the signed agreement back.

I think Lou's in the house.

What's the, uh, what's the story with this guy?

His name is Maestro.

He's supposed to compete in a polo match in a few days,

and he's afraid of a mallet and horses coming at him.

I could help you out,

if you want.

Maybe an easy trail ride with Montana.

See if they get along.

Yeah, OK.

Just as long as you keep your distance.

- For Maestro's sake. - Yeah, yeah.

Whatever he needs.

Alright.

What quality issues?

Where are these rumours even coming from?

Why did you go there?

You're just pouring fuel on the fire.

I had to do something.

Well, it didn't change anything, did it?

At least I tried.

I'm with Dad. We have to take action.

Oh, Lou.

I'm gonna make a few phone calls. I have a plan.

(Jack sighs)

(approaching footsteps)

- Hey. - Hey.

What's all this?

Just a little trip down Memory Lane.

(Tim chuckles) My dad bought me that horse.

Taught me how to play polo on her.

You've never really told me much about your dad.

Except that he left your mom when you were a teenager.

Yeah, he left her for his secretary.

- Oh. - So clich�, right?

(Jess chuckles)

Started a new family with her.

Whole new life.

There were visits for a while, and then once I went off

to college, he�

He didn't make any effort to be a part of my life.

And then when I got cancer, he� he sent me

some flowers with a note that said, "Get well soon."

I got a more sincere message in the note that my doorman sent.

I don't know. I just� (sighs)

Working with Amy and Maestro, it's just

brought back all these memories,

and I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't ignore the letter.

But to give up my dream job�

You must think I'm being really selfish.

No. Why would I think that?

Because you have this really great relationship

with your kids, and�

I got a second chance with my kids.

I had no expectations.

If they didn't want me in their life, I would have understood.

Well, that's the thing.

See�

I don't think my dad wants to be a part of my life.

It's too late for that.

I think he just wants to be forgiven.

I think he just wants to be absolved of his guilt

at being such an abysmal father.

I don't think I'm ready to do that.

(soft music)

Might be good to get closer at some point.

Yeah.

Maestro's actually being pretty good.

I think he's more relaxed outside of the arena.

Why don't you try bringing Montana towards us?

(Maestro snorts)

Just go slow.

Hey. Hey. (Maestro grunts)

Alright. Hey. Hey. Hey. You're alright.

It's just us in a big open space. OK?

There you go.

Hey. Good boy.

(soft music)

(laughs softly)

(grate clinking)

(fire crackling)

(Jack sighs)

- So. - So.

We have wine.

Yeah, so we do.

Would this be a good time to have our talk?

Right. The death talk.

Yes. That talk.

I have to admit I don't know how to start it.

Well, me neither.

(Jack sighs)

Why is this so hard to talk about?

Maybe because it's a bummer.

Yeah, it is a bummer. (chuckles)

But I think planning for it

and knowing what we both want

will make it easier when the time comes.

I'll start.

I would like to be buried

in the family cemetery here at Heartland,

next to my parents and grandparents

and my daughter, and Lyndy.

Mm-hmm.

I assumed as much.

And there's a beautiful spot

for you there, too, if that's what you'd like.

Thank you. I guess that leaves me with three options.

Oh?

Well, there's the plot next to Dan, which I'm about to sell.

That's one down, and then there is

the Stillman Family mausoleum.

Mm! (Lisa chuckles)

- And now Heartland. - Hmm.

That should be a TV show: Burial Plot Hunters.

(both laugh)

I thought I was ready to talk about this,

and clearly I am not.

You've given it a lot of thought, and�

If it's all right, I'd like to do the same.

- Of course. - OK.

(pensive music)

- Thanks for your help. - Anytime.

Listen, uh, my place the other day�

Oh, let's just forget about that.

No, no. Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you more.

But I also don't think

you being upset with me is entirely fair.

Why is that?

It seems to me you've been wanting to put

some extra distance between you and me lately.

Or am I wrong about that?

No, you're not.

Is it because of what your family thinks of me?

No. I mean, that doesn't make it easy, but�

A while ago, there was this guy named Finn.

And he was the first person that I've felt anything for since Ty.

But he kept a lot of secrets, and it didn't end well,

and I don't want to go through that again.

There's nothing between the woman you saw and me.

So why can't you just tell me who she is?

It's not that simple, Amy.

That's not an answer.

I don't want to push you to be someone who you're not.

So�

Maybe we should just stay as we were.

Friendly neighbours.

(melancholy music)

(Maestro snorts)

(sighs) OK.

Yeah. Yeah, thanks for trying.

- OK, bye. - What was that all about?

I asked Rick to go into the barbershop and talk up

our sponsorship of the charity match.

And?

And Leo saw right through it.

You know, I should just do this myself.

There's no reason I can't go over there

and give them a piece of my mind.

It didn't work for Tim.

What makes you think it's going to be any different for you?

I don't know, but I have to do something.

Our reputation is being dragged through the mud.

- Doesn't that make you angry? - Of course it does.

But what bothers me most is

Heartland used to be respected,

and now it's just fodder for town gossip.

- So what do we do? - I don't know, just�

Taking the high road obviously isn't working.

Denying the rumours isn't working.

Just� give me some time to figure it out

before you go barging into that barbershop

guns a blazing, OK?

OK. I'll leave it be.

For now.

(receding footsteps)

(soft music)

Good job, Maestro.

Now let's see how you do when it's more than one horse.

(Amy chuckles) Good boy, Maestro.

Good boy.

Now we just have to add some speed.

Looks like you're making progress.

Didn't think I'd see you back so soon.

I've been thinking about our conversation yesterday.

Felt like I need to put my cards on the table, too.

What do you say you, uh, you�

Come over to my place tomorrow?

Nathan, why can't you just put your cards on the table

right now?

Tomorrow's better. Trust me.

Trust you.

I'm trying. I really am.

I promise I'll clear things up.

- OK. - Thank you.

(pensive music)

Nothing in this story made me feel like Annabelle would dump

the fianc� she's been in love with for years.

OK. That seems to be the consensus.

Does anyone feel differently?

I actually really liked it.

Sometimes when you're scared, you do the opposite

of what you'd normally do,

and it shows an interesting side to the character.

Well, I didn't buy it.

We're all capable of more than we realize,

and Annabelle feels more deeply than anyone else around her,

so her fear is no different.

That's why she acts in this perfectly surprising way.

I like that.

Very nice.

Well, I guess that's all we have time for.

Great class, everyone. Really nice.

See you.

- See you at the bar. - Bye, have a good one.

Hey, thanks for sharing.

I appreciate how open you are.

It's not an easy thing to do, especially when

disagreeing with others.

It's no big deal. Just� saying what I felt.

I really love that I can talk about writing like this here.

I don't get to do it anywhere else.

You know, we could really use some of that Katie honesty

in our post-class discussions, you feel like joining us?

- Sure. Yeah, I'd love to. - Yeah? Amazing.

- OK, great. - I'll catch up.

Sure.

(typing)

(phone beeps)

(soft music)

(pensive music)

Good boy, Maestro.

I'm proud of how far you've come.

I think you can conquer your fear of the mallet, too.

I might have an idea to help with that.

I'm all ears.

But first, I owe you an apology.

I told you that I would help you,

and I didn't follow through.

- I'm sorry. - It's OK, Jess.

Well, no. It's not. (chuckles)

But maybe I can make it better.

Maestro just needs to realize

that a swinging mallet is nothing to be afraid of.

So I'm thinking�

(distant neighing)

We put it in his stall overnight,

and hopefully he'll realize it's nothing to be afraid of.

It's worth a try. Thank you.

What made you think of that?

Something my dad taught me.

A million years ago.

- Good night, Amy. - Good night.

(receding footsteps)

(indistinct chatter) (Katie): Thanks.

- Yeah, I'm glad I could come. - I know. This is great.

You sure you don't want to try any?

It's really elegant.

I love a wine when the flavour hits your palate slowly.

Yeah, yeah, me too.

But, uh, I have to be up early tomorrow morning.

- For work. - Right.

So, are you committed to the day job and writing plan,

or have you thought about college?

Uh, I've thought about it.

Well, what about you?

What was your path to becoming a writer?

I always wanted to write.

But it wasn't 'til I moved from my small town,

Quesnel, to Vancouver,

that I really started to take it seriously.

I went to the Vancouver Fine Arts School for college,

and it just changed me for the better.

Yeah. That's so cool.

My dad lives in Vancouver, and I just love the vibe there.

Oh, yeah. I loved every second of it.

It was the best.

(chuckling)

I'm just going to go pick up Katie at Maggie's.

She went to a monster truck rally. Can you believe that?

She's on a bit of an adventure streak lately.

- Yeah, she really is. - I'm going to turn in early.

- I'm exhausted. - OK. Oh!

- How's it going with Maestro? - Good, actually.

Nathan helped me get him used to other horses.

I think he might even be ready for your mystery dignitary.

Great. Um, I'm just surprised to hear Nathan was helping you.

I thought you were drawing a line with him.

We had a really honest conversation.

I'm going to his house tomorrow.

- On a date? - I don't�

No, it's just� We're just going to talk.

OK. Um�

Just don't get hurt.

(tense music)

(upbeat music)

(vehicle approaching)

Now what is this?

(Lisa laughs)

Well� I was right.

Val snapped up that burial plot

quick as you please.

And I thought I would spend the money

on a little treat for myself.

Taking this baby for a test, see if I can catch anyone's eye.

Oh, yeah. How's that working out?

Well, it depends. Care for a ride, cowboy?

(Jack chuckles)

Well, a car like this is worth way more than a burial plot.

You're right.

If I decide to buy it, it's going to be a bit of a splurge.

- Ah, you deserve it. - Aww.

Listen, I feel like I need to explain

my reaction during our chat the other night.

Oh, it's OK.

I get that it bothered you.

Me talking about being buried near Lyndy.

No, no. That's not it at all.

Then what is it? (Lisa sighs)

I have a hard time thinking about the end.

I'd rather stay focused on the here and now, you know?

And all the living we have yet to do.

But that said, when the time comes, of course,

I want to spend eternity next to you, Jack Bartlett.

- If you have room for me. - Of course, there is.

Yeah, speaking of living

in the here and now, can you give me a lift somewhere?

Hop in. (both laughing)

Put your seatbelt on.

(soft music)

(country music playing over speakers)

(entry bell rings)

Jack!

I thought you were never coming back.

Now, you know I don't believe the scuttlebutt

thrown around here.

All I know, Leo, is you couldn't

keep your mouth shut if you tried.

So, here's a little something that you can let slip

to all the townsfolk who seem to have nothing better

to talk about than Heartland Beef.

Our product, our family,

and our land ain't going anywhere.

As a matter of fact, we're expanding.

Heartland's going into the bison business.

Have a good day.

Please tell me you pulled this off, Amy.

See for yourself. (Maestro whinnies)

(adventurous music)

Come on, Maestro! Let's go!

(neighing)

- (Lou): Go, Jessica! - Yay, Maestro!

- (Lou): Woo! - That's amazing, Amy.

Thank you. Not that I should have doubted it.

Well, I couldn't have done it without Jessica.

She sure knows her polo horses.

Ah. You wanna play some more?

- Heck yeah. - Yeah, let's go.

So, I'm afraid to ask,

but did the rumours affect the ticket sales?

I'm happy to say we've nearly sold out.

What? Rick, that's amazing.

This match is gonna be perfect.

When do I get to meet the prince?

What did you tell her?

Lyndy, I'm so sorry, honey, but there's no prince.

But you can meet a city councillor

from Catesby, England, if you'd like.

That's the big-shot dignitary you've been going on about?

Tony Keane happens to be the second cousin twice removed

from the royal family.

It has some sway, but what really matters

is that with Maestro's success, I'll have secured Catesby

as Hudson's first-ever sister city.

Congratulations, Rick.

That's going to be really good for tourism.

You know, I'm really proud to see

what an amazing job you're doing as mayor.

Thank you, Lou.

(soft music)

(horse snorting softly) (car door shuts, engine starts)

Did I pick a bad time again?

No, not at all.

Come on.

(tense music)

???

Oh, the, uh� The notes are for my dad.

He's been struggling with Alzheimer's

for a little while now.

Nathan, I'm sorry. I had no idea.

The woman you saw, uh�

She's a nurse who comes and helps out sometimes.

What your family must be going through�

(Nathan inhales sharply)

Do you want to meet him?

Yeah.

(indistinct speaking)

(sentimental music)

Dad.

I gotta teach you how to do this, son.

I never did, and it's� It's time I corrected that.

No, you�

Teach me later, Dad. I want to introduce you to somebody.

(laughs) Don't be ridiculous.

I'd recognize Marion anywhere.

- No, Dad, this is� - it's OK.

Mr. Pryce, it's great to see you.

Always happy to see my favourite trainer.

Don't know where I'd be if you hadn't helped Sammy.

- He's my best horse. - Mm-hmm.

- I'm always happy to help. - Yeah.

(soft music)

(chuckles)

(upbeat music)

(Lisa sighs)

Nice!

Wow. Great-looking car.

Glad you approve, Tim.

- Did you just buy this? - (Lisa): I just did!

Yeah, Lisa bought the car,

and I thought,

oh, what the heck.

I think I'll buy a herd of bison.

- What? - Have you finally lost it?

- What are you thinking? - It's the action we need

to take to change the direction of Heartland Beef.

You know I love the idea, but it's a big investment.

Where are we gonna get the money?

We'll work it out with the bank.

The important thing is it's the right move for the ranch.

What do you say, Tim?

I guess we're in the bison business.

(Jack and Lou laugh) (Jack): Good.

Because I just told Leo, so the whole town

is gonna know by dinnertime.

(pensive music)

(indistinct chatter)

(door opens and shuts)

Brandon, hey, have you heard

of the Vancouver Fine Arts School?

Yeah, I don't really want to hear about that

right now, Katie.

What's wrong?

You ditched me last night.

You really don't get how much that sucked?

I'm sorry.

I just figured you'd go with Ellie.

I didn't want to go with Ellie, I wanted to go with you.

The two of us.

Uh, you didn't say.

I thought we were just friends.

Yeah, well, I guess I should have been more clear.

I was nervous. I like you, Katie.

Look, Brandon�

When I met you and Ellie and we all started hanging out,

I was so happy.

I don't want that to change.

Can we just be friends?

Yeah. OK. I gotta go.

Brandon.

(melancholy music)

So�

You ready for the great American West?

I am�

But I'm making a stop in New Hampshire first.

Oh?

Well, I talked to the people who hired me

and it took a little bit of cajoling, but they agreed

to let me join a few days late.

OK, well, that's great.

I don't know if I'm ready to see my dad.

Well, my offer stands.

I'll go with you.

No. I think whatever happens in New Hampshire,

I have to face on my own.

But I would like to see you after,

so maybe you could join me in Arizona

on the expedition, just for a few days.

Yep. Whatever you need, I'll be there.

I just�

I have so many things that I need to tell him.

I need to look him in the eye.

And I need to say to him that he missed out

on raising a really great daughter.

And that I turned out okay without him.

He's still my dad.

I don't want to be angry. I want to forgive him.

I want to hold on to the memory�

(voice breaking): Of that dad that taught me how to play polo

all those years ago. (sniffles)

Because I really loved that dad.

Oh, God.

(sentimental music)

Uh, sorry about the confusion in there.

It's been happening more and more lately.

No, don't be. It was nice to hear a story about my mom.

(chuckles)

Can I ask you a question?

Why did you feel like you have to keep this a secret?

I mean, to go through it all alone�

This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

Seeing my dad like this� His bad days.

Trying to help him while�

Keeping alive the business that he built.

Yeah, but don't you have any family

or friends that could help?

No. Not really.

Not close by, anyway.

I haven't told anybody because I don't want

people to see my dad this way.

And truthfully, I� (sighs)

I can't imagine

passing off his care to somebody else.

I don't know how much time I have left with him.

Thank you for sharing this with me.

It means a lot.

?? A fire burns ?

(chuckles and sniffles)

Honestly, uh, it�

It's a relief to tell someone.

? Quiet songs that give us hope ?

It has not been easy doing this on my own.

? Close your eyes ?

Yeah, but you're not.

? Embrace the sound ?

You have me.

? Trust the silence ?

? When it gets too loud ??
