- Hey, please tell me
you brought me a coffee.

Thank you so much. You
are such a lifesaver.

Jonathan is up my ass about
finishing this project

before the Bedfords
freaking steal it from us.

And speaking of which.

- "Michelle Bedford
with Bedford Development

is New York City's
top 30 under 30."

- Well, yeah, it must be
nice to come from money.

- Okay, so Jonathan
has a surprise for you.

Ah! It's not a good surprise,
it's a bad surprise.

- Hello?

- So just like, smile.

- Karen,
the door's locked.

- Okay.

Welcome to work. So
lovely to see you.

- Thank you. Mary?

And bring a of couple
umbrellas, please.

- Good luck.

- Why are we outside?

- Yeah, walls are too thin.

Is she okay?

- Yeah, yeah. She's, you
know, just, she's Karen.

- Okay, well, I have
a surprise for you.

- Surprise, surprise. Great.

I love surprises.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Okay.
- Fine. What?

Yeah, what is it?

- Mary?

I'm giving you the
opportunity to make partner.

- Wait, really? Are you serious?

- Yes!
- My God.

- And if you close this,
it'll put our firm on the map,

and you will become a
millionaire overnight.

- And you want, you
want me to do it?

- Of course.

- I'm already a designer on
this project. I'm confused.

- Well, you know, this guy is,

is kind of...totally
out of his mind.

- Uh huh.

- You should hear
the way he speaks.

Anyway he refuses
to work with anyone

who isn't a hometown
born and bred,

his words not mine,
Jericho local.

- Jericho local? You
gotta be kidding me.

- Look, I know you said you
never wanted to go back there,

and believe me,

I did everything.
- Oh, so I have to go there?

- I did everything I could to
not to put you on this deal.

- Oh, that's so nice.
That's so nice.

Oh, that's so kind of you.
That's really kind of you.

So you're just like, you
know, giving me this job

because no one else could do it.

- Look, Mary, I know
you're upset, okay?

But look, you're gonna
fly in on the same day,

and fly back out.

You'll be back 10
days before Christmas,

and you won't have to talk
to anybody else but him.

- Jonathan, you
told me I was only

gonna be a designer on it.

That's why I took this job.

I don't negotiate. You
know I don't negotiate.

I can't, I mean, me? Me
negotiating?

- Mary.
- It's just, it's crazy.

- You're not negotiating
anything, okay?

You're just gonna present him
your ideas, and then sign.

It's a done deal.

Look, if we, God,
this will put us

so far beyond Bedford
by a landslide.

And who knows, maybe
you'll be the one next

on the front cover
of a magazine.

You can do this.

- Shit, shit, shit, shit.

That's okay. You're, oh!

You're. Oh shit!

Hi, my um...my car just kind

of just bumped him in
two, but he's fine.

He's fine. I just,
sorry I'm late.

I'm just, you know, it
was like icy on the road,

so I just had to
drive very slow.

We're, we're good see? Yeah.

Trying to drive slow
to get here alive just.

I'm Mary by the...

Oh perfect.

Um...

Wait.

Um...

- How was it?

- Pretty
good for an old timer.

Still pretty sharp.

Whoa! Come on.

Here, give him a
little snack here.

- There we go. Come
on in, let's go.

- Yeah?

Great.

- Oh, I'm sorry. I
don't speak Spanish.

But, do you know when
Mr. Byers will be coming?

Yes, yes when he...

Okay, I'll just wait.

Oh shit.

- You must be Maria.

Oh, I didn't mean to scare you.

- Oh no, no, you didn't.

- Good. You break
it, you buy it.

- Oh, no, no. I'm dead serious.

This thing cost
me about 10 grand.

I'm just kidding.

You should see your face.
You were like this, ah!

I am so glad you are
here, Maria Gomez.

- Oh, I, I go by Mary.

- Hmm? I prefer Maria.

- Okay. That's a, that's a
beautiful horse, by the way.

- Thank you. It was my
daughter's favorite.

She's up at college
now at NYU. You ride?

- Yeah, well, I used
to, my mom, she was a...

She was very well known in
this town for her riding.

And she gave, well,
she had a horse

that looked just like that.

- There's a lot of horses
that look like that.

It's good for breeding. Let's
go down to business, huh?

- Uh, Yeah.

So here are a few
different mock-ups,

and I wanted to keep it
homey yet family based.

So when people
think of the resort,

they can think of
it as a, as a home.

- Home.
- Away from home.

- Yeah.

- Hmm.

You must have put a
lot of work into this.

Ha, I like it.

But I prefer the entrance of
the resort to be right here.

It needs to be near the main
road so that everyone sees it.

Because I want this to
be the star of Jericho.

- Yeah, I just
designed it that way,

because there's an equestrian
therapy center that's right...

- Yeah, I'm getting rid of it.

- Oh, I think there's a,
a man named Mr. Griffin.

He owns that.

- Nope, not anymore. He's gone.

- Did he die?

- No, not yet, but I
made him a very wealthy man.

- Oh, okay. What
if we just move it?

Because it's been
there for generations,

and I know a lot of kids
who really benefited

from it and, yeah.

I was just thinking
maybe we can move it?

- Listen, I don't
wanna be that guy,

but it's losing
money like crazy,

and it's a bit of an eyesore.

It's nothing personal.
It's just business.

Is that gonna be
a problem for you?

- No, no. Not at all.

- Great, because I
cannot wait to see

who wins this competition.

I am down to two development
firms. You're both excellent.

- Oh, we were under
the impression

that you wanted to do
business with, with...

- I do.

But I wanna do
business with someone

I'm sure I wanna do
business with, you know?

- Yeah. I'm sorry.

I'm just so confused
because I mean,

he told me that I was
just gonna come here,

and I was gonna present
you the, the plans,

and then we were
gonna just sign.

- I don't know what he told you,

but I'm not signing
anything till Christmas.

- Till, till, Christmas.

- It's a little
superstition of mine.

Um...

- Right, right. I just, I'm,
I'm, I'm leaving tonight.

6:00 PM I have this, I
have a flight. So I am...

- Listen Maria, I am not
gonna be rushed into a deal

because you wanna get back and
deal with some other client.

You have 10 days to prove
you deserve this job.

Those are my terms.

- I understand. Totally.

I understand. It's
just, you know.

I, I don't have
anywhere to stay.

- Doesn't your father live here?

Choice is yours.

Oh, and by the way, I
have another meeting.

- Sorry.

- Michelle!

- Colton, how are you?

- Fabulous,
so good to see you.

- It is so good to see you.

- And how was Italy?

- It was wonderful. You
absolutely have to go.

- Hello?

- Jonathan, you
completely lied to me. Ow!

- So I told a little white
lie to save your career.

- You know what?

A white lie is
ghosting me at dinner

because you said your
cat had diarrhea.

Not, not sending me
through the gates

of hell telling me I'm
gonna make it back alive.

- My cat did have diarrhea.

Look, you know how you
need to look at this?

We've all done stuff
that we didn't want to do

to get ahead, that
we aren't proud of.

You're not special.

You know what I would
do if I were you?

- Are you asking me that?

Because I actually do know what
you would do if you were me.

You would lie to get this deal

just like Michelle's
lying to get this deal.

- What do you mean she's lying?

- She's not from here.

- What are you talking about?
Did you even read the article?

You're being a
spoiled brat, Mary.

Stay there or
leave, I don't care.

But there is a huge
probability that you may,

or may not have this
job when you return.

And you would've never gone
if I told you the truth.

You know that.

See, this is why
Michelle always is ahead,

and ends up on top.

Figure it out.

Do not go hiking.

My brother's ex got
mauled by a bear

when she was taking
a shit in the woods.

Oh yeah, that feels good.

anything that you can do?

Because I'm, I, I have, I

I have nowhere else to go.

- I can try to get
you on a waiting list

What did you do?

- Nothing, I was just...

She got second and she's upset.

- You need to be
a father, not a coach.

Hey sweetie.

- I just wanna
be a champion like you.

- You're never
gonna be a champion playing

with little dolls.

You should be training more.

That's what you should be doing.

- I tried so hard!

- We are all set.

Starting route to Burlington
International Airport.

- You've gotten so big!

So now, are you
30 years old now?

Is this?

- Ayla, come here.

Can you go to your room, yeah?

Finish your coloring there huh?

- Good to see you too.

- It's been like,
what, 12 years?

What are you doing here?

You coming?

- Maria.

- Hi Dad.

How does the other guy look?

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- Everything okay?

- Yeah.

- Why didn't you call?

- I, I wanted to surprise you.

- Oh, I doubt that.

- Well, I want to know about it.

Come on, sit down.

- Can I go to the
bathroom first?

- Think you
remember where it is?

- Dad.

- Why do you need
that thing anyway?

- He doesn't.

- You should see how much
free shit I get with this.

Plus there's a sword
in it, for the bears.

So, honey, um...

What's going on?

How's everything
in the big city?

Land any big deals yet?

- Yeah, yeah, it's good.

The, the firm always is,

they're, they're
always getting deals.

- Don't get upset, Maria.

But I'm a little bit confused.

I mean, we haven't talked--
- We've talked.

- Text messages and
calls on my birthday.

That's not talking Maria

but I get it.

Maria needs to make
it in the big city.

- I got a big job down here.

- There it is. Only when
it's right for Mary.

- This was, this was really
a mistake. I'm sorry.

I don't even.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.

Please, Maria, Maria.
Maria, please, sit.

Cynthia

Maria...sit.

What job?

- Um, a development job.

- The Colton buyers' thing?

- Yeah, yeah. How did you,
how did you know about that?

- The whole town's
talking about it.

How long are you
gonna be in town for?

- Um, till Christmas.

Can you just, can
you call Uncle Jamie,

and ask him if I
could stay with him?

- No, no way.
You're staying here.

- Dad!

- No, I do think, I
do think it's better

if I stay with Uncle
Jamie actually.

- They moved to Atlanta.

Their daughter wants to
be an actress.

You're staying in your old home.

- You know the property
the buyers bought

has the equestrian center on it?

- Yeah, yeah, I,
I, I really tried

to convince 'em to keep it.

- Oh, okay.

Well then you must also know
that Carlos is running it now.

It'll be such a lovely
Christmas gift when he realizes

you're the one slipping it
out from under his feet.

Ayla, come move
your shoes please.

- Second
place Maria, really?

Don't you think
you can do better?

- What is going on?

Hey sweetie, I have
something for you.

- Just wanna be a
champion like you.

- Maria, you are
already a champion.

You don't need any piece
of metal to prove that.

- All right? So take 'em equal
distance all the way across.

Little too much?

Nah.

No, no! All equal distant
all the way across.

- Mr. Carlos.

- Look at you.

You know what we're
gonna do today?

- Ride Rain?

- Not quite.

- Can I lead him
with the carrots?

- Yeah, I think you can help me.

Give him that if you want.

- How you doing,
Mary? Good to see you.

- Good to see you too.

- You're all grown up.

- Oh, I don't look the
same as I did when I was 10?

- About
the same height.

- Okay.

- So that was you the other day,

driving around like
a crazy city girl.

- I heard you, you
run this place now.

- Doing what we can, yeah.

What brings you to town?

- I--
- Mr. Carlos.

- How are you doing?

- Doing good.

- Emily, why don't
you meet my old friend, Mary?

- Hi.

- Hey.

- Rain used to be hers.

- Really?

- Yeah. Do you like Rain?

- Yes, I do.

- Which one's your favorite?

- Rain.

- Cool.

- Will you give
Rain a snack for me?

- Yes.

- I'll
see you in there.

- Si.

- Um, you have Rain here?

Yeah, what happened
to Shell Pond

- Just wasn't working out there.

Wasn't really making friends
with the other horses,

but she's doing great here.

She's quite the popular horse.

Would you like to see her?

- No, no. No, it's okay.

- You sure?

- I can maybe, maybe later.

- Mr. Carlos!

There's a
explosion in the barn.

- I'll be right there.

- It's a pretty
shitty situation.

- Well as you can
see, duty calls.

How long are you in town?

- Till Christmas.

- Maybe we
can see each other.

- Meet you downtown for coffee?

- Sure.

- Oh hello?

- Maria, Colton.

- Oh, hi, um.

Did you, did you put
yourself in my, in my phone?

- Oh, no, no, no.

I paid the phone company
to have my caller ID show

as "Boss Man."

- Oh, okay. That, that's nice.

- Listen, first competition's
tomorrow, 12:00 PM.

Bring your whole
family, and a date.

- I mean, but my family,
you know, they work

and stuff, but-
- No, no, no, no, no.

This is a family competition.

You can't compete without them.

- That's fine, that's
fine. They'll come.

Michelle, she's
bringing her family too?

- Maria, why are
you being difficult?

- Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm not
trying to, to, to be, you know.

What do you mean by tournament?

- Ah, that would be cheating.

You'll find out tomorrow.

Is there a problem?

- No, no, no, not
at all. It's fine.

- Excellent. And a date.

- A date?

- Great.

- Told
you it's the best.

- So how do you like
working for Colton?

- Oh, Mr. Colton's a little-

- Crazy.

- Yes.

- Yeah.

- But he's a good boss. And
the resort's a good idea.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah, it's gonna bring
more tourists, more people.

Gonna fix up the center,
and maybe one day

when I have enough cash
I can buy it from him.

- Sell, sell you the
equestrian center?

- Yeah.

- And you guys, you
guys talked about that?

- Yeah, when Mr. Griffin
sold it to Colton,

he made him promise

that he'd sell it to me one day.

- Okay, and that is, that's
in your contract, right?

- No, but Mr. Colton's
a handshake kind of guy.

I trust him.

- Okay, so, so this
is, this is um...

This is gonna be really strange,

but um, I have to bring a date.

But it wouldn't be a date,
date. It would just be like...

- Save you from the
Abominable Snowman?

And you're asking me?

- Essentially, yes.

- If you can ask me in
Spanish, I'll go with you.

- What?

What, are you serious?

- Yeah.

- Oh, okay.

- Just stop, stop, stop.

I'll go with you if
you promise never

to do any of that again.

- Oh I'm not. I wouldn't do,
I'm not doing that again.

- Never.

- Never.

- But first can I go
show you something?

Just trust me. It's
gonna be good for you.

- I really hate
you, you know that?

- All I'm asking for
you is to say "Hi."

If it gets too much, we'll go.

- Okay.

- Come on.

It's okay.

- I don't think I want to.

I'm just gonna go home.

- Where the
hell have you been?

You haven't returned
any of my calls

or my texts.

The only reason I know
you're not digesting

in a grizzly bear is because

you have your read receipts on!

- I'm walking my family into

the Christmas version
of "Squid Game."

You're caught up.

- You know
what I would do if...

- Sorry.

I would flush his
toilet with my teeth,

and I would comb his
hair with my toes.

If that's what he wished.

Because, you know what?

$1.2 billion dollars!

- Absolutely not.

- Ponies!

- I think
it's a good idea.

- Ayla can't make it anyway.

- Why?

- None of your business.

- Cynthia.

- Dad, Ayla will be with
Adam until Christmas.

I'm not rescheduling
all of that again.

- Okay. So then you,
me, and Sarah will go.

- Dad, listen, okay.

If we go, it's gonna look
like we're supporting him.

- Who said anything
about supporting?

I just want to eat
all of his tamales.

- We're
not doing this. No.

- Look, it's a good
thing for the family

to go out together for once.

Fine. You take Sarah.

I'm not coming.

- Aye-ye-ye. I'll talk to her.

- No, no. Dad, let me, let me.

Let me talk to her.

I get why you're mad.

What was I supposed to do?

Like, I don't know.
Stay here forever?

I'm sorry, like, I just...

I couldn't do that.

And I get, like, I could have,

I could have handled
it a little better.

- You think?

- I mean, you didn't
reach out either.

You know, I, I reached
out many times,

and you, you,

you pretty much blocked
me on everything.

And the only reason that
I knew about Ayla was

because Adam posted about it.

- Stop it. You could
have come home.

Clearly you didn't want
any reminders of family

so I made it easy for you.

Look, I don't want any
more bullshit, okay?

Just tell me what you want.

- I saw all the bills.

- We're doing fine. Thanks.

- I can help.

- I don't want your help.

- Cynthia, you are months
behind in property taxes.

There is, there is
crap everywhere.

And Sarah doesn't
even have a phone.

- Sarah
doesn't need a phone.

- She's 17.

Okay, fine. I don't
wanna bullshit you.

What if I...

What if I give you a
percentage to help me?

- Ha, Wow.

I expected you to go low, but

not this low.

- I'll give you 10%
of my commission.

And that would mean you
would get $1.2 million.

- 1.8.

- Come on.

- 15%, and I'll consider it.

- Fine.

- It's not even Christmas yet.

- It's never
too early for presents.

- Guessing you
haven't told him yet?

- No, but I will so
please don't tell him.

- Oh, I won't. This will all
blow up in your face anyway.

- It's
presents for you.

It's a lot of snow. Where
did all the snow come from?

- What's going on?

- Nothing, I'm
just um, I'm done,

I'm done.

- What about tomorrow?

- I'm not, I'm pretending
to have a happy family

when that's obviously a lie.

So, you know, I'm not playing
that stupid game just to win.

- You can't leave
Maria.

- I don't
speak Spanish, Dad.

So you and Cynthia downstairs
get to talk in Spanish.

You leave me out.

What did you say?

- This family doesn't lose.

- God, Dad. We did, okay.

We lost, the second
we lost mom. We did.

And maybe you don't wanna
admit that to yourself,

and okay, that's
fine but we did, so.

- I took care of you girls.

- Yeah, you did, as a coach.

You didn't take
care of us as a dad.

I mean, you wanted us to get
over mom as fast as you did.

But you knew, Dad.

You knew that was
hard for us, right?

You knew it was hard and you
still threw everything away.

I mean, you did keep
the trophies, so...

yeah I guess that was something.

- Your
mom wouldn't quit.

- Welcome! So glad
you could all make it.

Get warmed up and
then we'll start.

- Oh, what the heck is this?

- Um, you didn't tell
Carlos about the center?

- No, not yet. Didn't tell
him I changed my mind.

But now that you're
here, you can do it.

- Um, I just think that--

- 15 minutes till we start,
and then when we're done,

we're gonna celebrate
with music and food.

Yeah!

- This is ridiculous, right?

- Not as ridiculous as
somebody heading to New York

on horseback when they were 10.

Had to kick that kid off the
horse and then go after you.

- Oh my God. I
didn't remember that.

- I did.

- I remember,
that was such a long time-

- Hey guys. You
must be Mary, right?

- Hi, yeah. I'm sorry,
what's your name?

- Michelle.
- Michelle, cool.

- You work for Ace
Development, right?

- Yeah.

- I just love your little
firm. It is so great.

- Thank you.

- Isn't this nice getting
our families together?

- Yeah.

- Your niece is
adorable by the way.

And your dad, so cute.

- Thank you.

Yeah, your sister
looks like she could be

on the cover of a magazine.

- Oh, thanks. That's my mom.

Stepdad on the right with
my younger brother Alex.

And my date, Tyler,
who I just met.

Your mom couldn't come?

- Oh, no, no. She's dead.

- Oh my God, I'm so
sorry. I didn't know.

- Oh, no, no, it's fine.
I'm messing with you.

I mean, I'm not, not
my mom being dead part.

She's really dead.
She's very, very dead.

But you know, just the part
with the messing with you.

So sorry, I'm, nerves
the cold, you know.

Sorry.

- No worries. I'm honestly
really nervous too.

I haven't played any sports
in like two months.

So may the best team win?

- Yeah.

- It was good to
see you, Carlos.

- So you, you
know, you know her.

- It's a long story.

- Okay.

- Let
the games begin!

- Well done
ladies, well done.

- Now remember, it's
about winning him over.

Not some stupid games.

- Mm hm.

- Right here.

- What does that mean?

- It's for good luck.

- Maria.
- Okay.

So I was thinking,

how am I gonna choose
from your families?

I mean, they're
both so wonderful.

- Thank you.

- So much.

- So I was thinking whoever
wins the three events

wins the whole thing completely.

- Oh, I thought this
was just to get to know,

to know our families, right?

This wasn't a real...

- It was, it was.

But then I started
thinking, Colton,

wouldn't this be more exciting

if it was an actual
real competition?

- I love that.

- I'm glad you agree.

So the next competition

is going to be at
my Christmas ball.

All right ladies, don't
forget to bring a date, huh?

- Hey Carlos, do you
wanna be my date?

- It'd be kind of weird
'cause I'm here with Mary.

- Oh, Mary doesn't mind.

I mean, it's all
in good fun, right?

Oh my God, are you two
like actually dating?

Oh, I am so sorry.
I had no idea.

Nevermind.

- No, no, no, we're not,
we're not. It's fine.

- Oh. Well.
- It's fine.

- Well, what do you say, Carlos?

- Okay.

- Great.

- This
family doesn't lose.

- Forget it.

Hi.

- Okay?

- Oh yeah. I look that bad?

- Yeah.

- Uh, thanks for
coming yesterday.

- No problem. I had a good time.

You know, Michelle and I,

I might have given
her a few lessons.

- Oh yeah, it's fine.

Yeah, I mean, she's lucky
she got the best coach.

- I don't know about that.

Your mom was the best coach.

I'm a close second though.

- Ah, Maria,
nice to see you.

- Hi.

- Still need her?

- No, Emily just left.

- Okay, great. Well I'm gonna
take her out so she can graze.

We'll bring her back.
Give her a bath.

So you set it up and
I'll be right back.

See you tomorrow.

- Yeah. About tomorrow.

What's, what is, what's
happening tomorrow?

- Relax, Maria. Genius
comes as a does.

You can't rush it.

- She's Colton's horse?

- Yeah. Haven't had enough
money to buy her myself so.

But when I buy this place,

she's coming with me no
matter what she costs.

She wants to say hi to you.

Do you wanna say hi to her?

It's okay.

- Okay, open.

- What?

- Quick close. Open, close.

- I look like mom.

I also look like dad.

- I dunno. I can't.

I can't really remember
what she looked like.

- You were really
young when it happened.

- Can I change in here?

There's not much space
in the other room.

- Yeah, come in.

Oh, I can't believe I
had to do my own hair,

and makeup for this.

But there is just no
reliable glam around here.

I mean, I'm sure
there's good people,

but it's just not
like the same as

in New York City you know?

Can you zip me?

I can't even remember
the last time I was

at one of these things.

You know what? Yes I do.

I was just at one for
my 30 under 30 party,

but that one was much bigger.

- We're gonna leave
you to get dressed, okay?

- Okay.

- Yeah.

- What are these?

- Yeah, well is wasn't my
idea that you put 100 rollers

in my hair last minute.

- Well,
it looks really...

Are you okay?

- Yeah, I just slipped.

I think I'm overdressed.

- Well, I'm underdressed.
So here we are.

- Wow.

If your mother
could see you now.

- Happy tears only.

- Having the both of
you here right now

means everything to me.

Ready?

See you on the other side.

Do you actually think
we're competing?

Think that I care about you?

I just wanna win.

That's all I care about.

See, that's your problem.

That's why you don't win.

You collapse under the pressure.

But the big difference
I see between you,

and me is that I came
to this trashy town.

I wasn't raised in it.

- No one talks to my family
like that you rich bitch.

- Are you serious?
- Are you kidding?

- You pushed me.

- You pushed me!

- Oh, I, didn't.

- It was your stupid sister.

- What is this going on?

Stop it, stop it.

Stop it right now.

I'm very disappointed
in both of you.

I'm sorry Maria but
you lose a point.

- What?

- Now what are you smirking at?

You lose a point too.

And if I ever see
anything like this again,

especially in
front of my guests,

you both will go home
with absolutely nothing.

- That
wasn't the deal!

- Yeah, I think I made the deal.

- Seems like you
two are getting along.

- Oh yeah. I
think, I think she's hungry.

Do you have any,
have any treats?

- These always work.

- Oh wow. Peppermint.

I'm actually surprised you
didn't make me ask you this

in Spanish.

- Next time.

- Are you gonna tell me what
a hot mess I was last night?

- Do you find out
what the last event is?

- No.

I'm sure Michelle will,

because she keeps trying
to sabotage me, I swear.

Do you know what I wish?

That I could be this
cold, heartless bitch.

- No, you don't.

- No, I, I do.

I do because then I just,

I wouldn't care about
any of this you know?

And then I could just
break into his office,

and, I don't know.

I wouldn't care.

- He did plan a birthday party
for his daughter tonight.

Might be a good
time to break in.

- Coming,
coming, coming.

- What's that sound?

- Hi.

- Hey Dad.

- Where are you?

- Yeah, so.

- Is everything okay?

- There's
been an issue,

and I don't think
I'm gonna be able...

- Ah.

- Yeah, I don't think
I'm gonna be able to come.

- No, no, no, it's fine.

- I know
it's very last minute.

I'm really, really sorry.

- Yeah. Love you too.

Damn it.

What?

- It's not the right snowman.

- That one?

- Go Mary.

- He's making
me ride a horse.

Why did these things
always happen to me?

- A horse?

- Of course.

- When?

- It was the third time.

- When?
- It was like 100 years old.

- You were, oh wait.
Yeah, you're right.

I had it since I was like...

- ten.

- Was that when we bought
it? You were the, ah.

- I don't remember the year.

- All right. Well you're gonna
have to buy my dad a new one.

So good luck.

- I'll manage.

- Yeah?

- Mary.

- Too slow.

- Why are you doing all this?

- 'Cause I want you to win.

- Why?

- You deserve it.

- I don't.

- You do.

- I don't. I'm a quitter.

- You were eleven years old.

That's not quitting.

Right, Rain?

Did I ever tell you the story

of how I met your mother?

- No,
I don't think so.

- So I was 13 years old.

My dad had just died.

I was feeling rebellious

so I decided to steal a horse.

- Really?

- Yep. I didn't
even wanna steal it.

I just wanted to ride it but

and your mother caught me.

You know what she did?

She gave me a job.

And she even
convinced that old guy

to give me that horse.

So I owe your mother everything.

Now you asked me

why didn't I ever leave?

I traveled the world

competing, but I
get something here

that I just couldn't
get anywhere else.

- What's that?

Goodnight Rain. Goodnight Mary.

- I didn't earn this yet.

Goodnight.

Hey, do you want a treat?

Do you want a treat?

Got your message.

- You're ready.

Come on. It's okay.

- Oh God.

Ugh.

I'm all right. I'm
fine, I'm fine.

I'm just gonna need a second.

- Would you be more comfortable
with another horse, Mary?

- Stop, okay? Please
just give me a second.

I'm just asking for a second.

I'm just not gonna be
ready when you tell me

that I'm ready, okay?

- Did I ever tell you
the story about Comet?

- This isn't about Rain.

- My dad had a horse named Comet

that he rode, almost killed him.

And I asked him, "Are you
ever gonna ride it again?"

He said, "When I'm ready."

Then I rode that horse,
and broke my leg,

and he told me the same thing

"When you're ready."

Except a lot of time
passed, and he died,

and I never rode
that horse again.

Maybe that's why I
stole that horse.

- Just handle it.

- Once upon a time.

Okay, now Rain.

Can't read if you keep...

Do you want a peppermint?

Okay, okay, okay.

I'll give you peppermint.

Sorry. I'm sorry
I don't have one.

I'll tell him just after we win

I promise.

Oh yes, I know.

- Morning. Welcome to this
year's Christmas Cowboy.

Who's ready to get started?

There they are.
Bring them on out.

We're gonna let the
riders get settled

and then we'll begin.

- Where's Rain?

- I dunno.

- Okay, because that's not Rain.

- I'm just
as confused as you.

He was with Mr. Colton earlier.

- Did you go ask Mr.
Colton where he is?

- He must have stayed with him.

- Can you go find her?

Just go look in the barn.

- You don't need Rain to win.

- I do need Rain to win.

I can't--
- You can do this.

Have patience.

Do everything you've been
practicing and you will be fine.

- So I'm
riding the pinto?

- You got this.

- I got this, I got this,
I got this. Thank you.

I don't got this.

- This year we're gonna do
things a bit differently

because this is the
most important event
of the competition.

Maria Gomez and Michelle Bedford

are gonna compete
against one another

in a variety of events
they feel comfortable with.

Whoever claims this year's
title of Christmas Cowboy

is also gonna win
the development deal

and a special bonus.

Who's ready to get started?

- What if we split the deal,

our firms can work
together on the project,

and then we don't
have to do this.

- You're just saying that

'cause you know
you're not gonna win.

- Okay, fine.

Then just promise
me that if you win,

you're gonna do
whatever you gotta do

to save the equestrian
center for Carlos.

Because that's all I
care about at this point.

- First
up, Michelle Bedford
riding Midnight.

Here comes Maria Gomez
riding the pinto, Calvin.

- Maria, we believe in you.

Oh my God, look! The
horse is skipping.

- The
judges can rate them

on three things, presence

precision, and agility.

- Okay, the winner of this
year's Christmas Cowboy is...

Michelle Bedford.

For being our champion and
winning the tournament,

you're gifted with a
special local bred,

and raised Jericho champion.

- No, no, no. You
can't take that horse.

Colton, you can't
take that horse.

- You cheated.

There's consequences
of deceiving people.

- Michelle, please
don't take that horse.

My mom, she gave
me that horse like-

- Aw.

- I'll do anything. It's so
cute that you miss your mommy.

- Michelle, that's enough.

See y'all at the
Christmas Eve party.

I'll make the
official announcement.

- You've taken this way too far.

- I had no idea.

- She can't take Rain.

She can't take Rain, please.

- I'm so sorry.
It's not up to me.

It's Mr. Colton's horse.

- It's Mr. Colton's horse.
I don't care if it's Mr.

It's my horse. It's
my mom's horse.

- Isn't this cute?

- What do you want?

- Cowboy, I was here to
offer Mary something.

You can have Rain.

In exchange for the
development deal

Shit, sorry, I forgot I
won that too.

Oh, at least I'll be seeing
a lot more of you Carlos.

Oh, nevermind

since we're tearing
downthe equestrian center.

- Michelle, stop!

- She didn't tell you.

- What's she saying?

- Sorry, I tried to tell you.

I wanted to tell
you so many times.

And then, and then
I just thought

that if I could win that,

I don't know I could have
just convinced Colton

after this whole
thing was over and

after we signed that I could...

I could win it back.

- You really didn't know.

Oops.

- Carlos, please,
please just let me.

You are such a cruel bitch.

- I underestimated you.

I would do a lot
of things to win

but lie to the man

that would risk
everything for me?

Your mommy must be really proud.

- Hey Michelle.

- Oh! Oh my nose!

- So you're leaving?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

I was just waiting
for you to ask.

- I thought
you threw this away.

- If you spent
more time training

and less time playing around
with little, little dolls.

- I try so hard!

Where is she?

She's gone?

- They just took her.

- Oh God, you didn't
even let me say goodbye.

- She's not my horse, Mary.

- We cannot let her take her.

I mean, are you even
listening to me?

We have to go do something.

- Maybe if you would've

been more honest with me
from the very beginning

I could've helped
you, but you weren't.

- Can you just let me explain?

- There's nothing to explain.

You haven't been honest with
me since the very beginning.

You've been lying to
me this whole time.

- I think that it's way
more complicated than that.

- You really think I
wanted you to lose?

After everything
we've been through.

You
still don't get it.

What a coach I was.

- So that's it. You're
just gonna quit?

I mean you can't quit.

What about everything
that you said? Those were?

All that was a lie too?

- Can't quit something you
were never a part of, Mary.

- And Rain just
had a significant mishap.

Carla is not moving.

- Maria, you don't need any
piece of metal to be a champion.

- Hello?

- Thought I might see you.

- Yeah?

- Mm hm.

- What do
you think I might say?

- Oh, what do I
think you might say?

- Yeah.

- Something like,
"How dare you?"

- Yeah.

- "Who the hell do
you think you are?"

- Who in the hell do
you think you are?

- Yeah.

Mm mm.

- I can't understand you, man.

What's your problem?

You're so bitter and cruel.

Are you acting like this because

you have some major crisis?

Are you dying? Do
you have cancer?

Like I can't figure you out.

Is it your daughter?

- I got angry
'cause you cheated.

And when I get angry,

I don't always make
the best decisions.

Her birthday, now Christmas.

I just can't seem to
get her to come home.

She's my tough one.

- Can I give you
a piece of advice?

Maybe you're a hard ass.

- A what?

- A hard ass.
Yeah, I don't know.

Maybe you are. Have
you considered it?

Have you ever asked yourself why

she doesn't wanna come home?

I mean maybe the reason why
she doesn't wanna come home

is because you don't

you don't let her come home.

I mean, because when
she does come home,

she has to play
your stupid games.

And whether she wins or not

all she is left with

at the end of the
day is just how,

just how inadequate
she is to you.

And you know, maybe

maybe one day you do

you become this better man.

You become this,
this better dad.

And it doesn't matter

because no matter
how many calls,

or texts you send, she's
just always gonna be

left with the dad who
didn't believe in her.

And I don't know, maybe one day,

maybe one day you get

you get really, really lucky

and she does come home

and she sees you

but you're not

you're not riding a horse

but you're walking with a cane.

And just somehow

oh God, somehow she realizes

that everything you
did well it wasn't

because you didn't
believe in her

it was because you did.

- I dunno if we're
gonna get that lucky.

- Yeah. Yeah, I don't
think so either.

- I'm sorry, Maria.

- Do
you want me to see

if I can get you home early?

- No, there's actually one
more thing that I need to do.

But can you, can
you do me a favor?

- What do you need?

♪ We had it all ♪

♪ Then watched it fall ♪

♪ Can't turn around ♪

♪ We're past it now ♪

- I'm gonna go talk to him.

- Okay.
- Okay.

♪ You held my hand ♪

♪ In shifting sand ♪

♪ Right now it's clear ♪

♪ You're nowhere near ♪

So you got my message?
Decided to show up?

- Not because you
invited me, right?

He is my boss and all.

- Right, can we talk?

- Everyone, thank you
so much for coming.

I want to make a
special announcement,

and make the resort
development deal official

by congratulating Maria Gomez.

We sign the deal after midnight,

so I won't kick
you out until then.

- Wait, you can't
do this. I won.

You already said I won.

- Michelle, I changed my mind.

- Did you sleep with him?

- Excuse me?

- Sorry, I'm just
trying to figure out

how you stole this from me.

- Michelle. I didn't.

- You know what,
it doesn't matter

because I'm gonna
go back to New York,

where I'm still number one

and you are still nothing.

I'll forget about this

and I'll forget about you.

But you will always think of me

on top of your mommy's horse.

You're gonna hit me too?

- I feel sorry for you Michelle.

And you were right

when you said that
we were similar.

Even with everything,
you and I we're just,

sad little girls trying
too hard to be loved.

- Hey.

- Hey.

How's your hand?

- Well I've got another
punch left in me.

- I thought you said,
I thought you were

gonna say, "I have
another hand."

I do also.

- Am I a bad person?

I'm a bad person.

- No, what I was gonna say

was that I always wanted

to clear out your room

and dad would never let me

because he always
knew you'd come home.

And yeah...

you've made some bad choices.

And those choices
have hurt people.

But just because
we make bad choices

doesn't make us bad people.

- So are you gonna
tell me that I?

Are you gonna tell me that
it blew up in my face?

- No, I'm not here to taunt you.

I wanna support you.

I mean, sometimes
we all hurt people

even when we don't mean to.

- But you meant to.

- Oh yeah.

- Yeah.

- I mean you're the
queen of getting yourself

into very interesting
situations,

and somehow you
always figure it out.

I mean, how did you even
manage to get the deal?

- I really have no idea.

- Maria.

- Okay.

- Speaking of which.

- Mm hm.

- I think I deserve a raise.

- What the hell is going on?

I'm so, I am so

so tired of whatever
sick, twisted game

that you are playing.

- Nope. No more games.

I promise, it's yours.

You ready?

- I don't want it.

- What?

What do you mean
you don't want it?

It has to be you.

- Why?

Why?

Okay, so then if
it has to be me,

you let me buy the center from

you and you build around it.

Or you can just
give it to Michelle

because I don't want
it if you don't.

- Hmm.

Your mother would be damn proud.

- I'm confused.

- The baby in this picture
is not my daughter.

It's Cynthia.

And when your mom had her,
everyone was so happy.

But I was the most excited
'cause I'd been such

not a great brother

that I thought I could be

a good uncle.

- This is messed up.

- Maria, I'm your uncle.

- You're not my uncle.

- I am.

- You're not.
You're not my uncle.

- I am.

- You're not. You're not.

I don't have an uncle.

I would've known
that I had an uncle,

and Cynthia would've
definitely known

that she had an uncle.

Cynthia was four when I left.

We're telling you the truth.

- My mother's name was Johnson.

- Yeah, that's our family name.

I took my wife's last name.

- Well that's really
convenient to you.

Where's your wife?

- Her last name mattered to her,

and mine didn't so
much at the time.

- So that means my dad, he...

- He knew. Yeah, he knows.

- He knew this entire time
that you were my uncle,

and he didn't, he
didn't say anything.

- If we had told you

would you have come back?

- So this was just some

elaborate scheme to...

Are you insane?

- Runs in the family, my dear.

- I'm gonna, I'm gonna kill him,

and then I'm gonna kill you,

and then I'm gonna kill him.

- I understand it
is a lot to process.

- So that means you
were just gonna gimme

this deal this entire time.

- No, no, no, no, no.
You had to earn that.

I didn't know what kind
of woman you'd become.

I had to make sure you
were the right person

for the job and you are.

- I literally lost every
single competition.

- You won the only one
that mattered, character.

- So what did you do to
mom that she just...?

- Disowned her only brother?

Ah, that is a long sad story
about my lack of character.

When your mom passed,
I tried to reconnect

but your dad was angry and it
was too late at that point.

Plus it would've been
confusing for you girls.

Then one day your dad
called and we made up,

and I bought this house,

and I fell in love
with the place again.

And I knew that I wanted
to make it my home.

But I knew the only way
I could make up for all

that lost time with your father,

and the family was
to bring you back.

So here we are.

I apologize for all the secrecy.

For everything really.

Especially being a jerk.

I took it too far with Rain.

Hey, I had no idea how
much he meant to you.

- Yeah, yeah.

That was,

that was pretty messed up.

- Hmm. Come on, I have
one more surprise.
