[JEAN] YOU'LL HAVE A JOB WAITING FOR YOU WHEN YOU GET OUT.
I'VE NEVER MET SOMEONE LIKE YOU BEFORE. I COULD REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU.
IF THAT'S TRUE-- LISTEN. WE CAN'T DO THIS. I'M HERE TO WORK.
I DIDN'T SEE JUNIOR COME IN. HE CAME WITH KRIS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT PISSES ME OFF MORE, THE FACT YOU BROKE OUR DEAL AND YOU WENT OUT WITH HER,
OR THE FACT THAT YOU LIED ABOUT IT.
IF YOU WANNA END OUR FRIENDSHIP, BE MY GUEST.
BUT I'D RATHER JUST WISH YOU LUCK AND MAY THE BEST MAN WIN.
YOU'RE ON.
I SEE YOU.
CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING? WHY DID YOU CHOOSE KRIS?
IT DOESN'T MATTER. SHE DIDN'T CHOOSE ME BACK.
YOU WERE OUT LIKE A LOG. IT HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF US.
SO YOU DIDN'T WANT TO? NO, YOU DIDN'T.
I WANT 300 ON SWEET WILLIAMS TO SHOW TOMORROW.
YOU'RE ALREADY FOUR DAYS LATE ON THIS. I KNOW, BUT I GOT A NEW SYSTEM.
OH. UH, SORRY.
GREAT.
WILDFIRE'S BEEN COMING ALONG A LOT BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
HE'S A REALLY GOOD HORSE.
AND IF THINGS WORK OUT, MAYBE A GREAT ONE.
HALF YOUR PERCENTAGE IN EXCHANGE FOR BOARDING WILDFIRE WITH ME.
SO WE'D BE PARTNERS? ON WILDFIRE, YES.
FIFTY-FIFTY? FIFTY-FIFTY. IT'S A DEAL.
REMEMBER THAT NIGHT WHEN WE WERE OUT IN THE WOODS? I HAVE TO GET GOING.
YOU REMEMBER. [MOTORCYCLE PULLS UP]
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT ALL WEEK.
I HAVE TO BE AT THE TRACK IN LIKE FIVE MINUTES. THAT WAS A GREAT KISS.
YEAH, IT WAS.
SO? SO, MAYBE WE SHOULD QUIT WHILE WE'RE AHEAD.
OR WE COULD HAVE DINNER TOMORROW NIGHT. I DON'T THINK SO.
WHY NOT? BECAUSE WE DO EVERYTHING BACKWARDS.
FIRST WE'RE SLEEPING TOGETHER IN THE SAME BED, AND WE'RE KISSING AND NOW DINNER.
IF ONLY ALL DATING COULD START THAT WAY. WE'RE NOT DATING.
OKAY, BUT CAN'T WE AT LEAST TALK ABOUT THINGS?
I JUST DON'T SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING. COME ON. IT'S JUST DINNER.
IT'S NEVER JUST DINNER.
IT'S DINNER. THEN IT'S THE LONG WALK HOME,
THEN THERE'S THE KISS GOOD NIGHT.
AND THEN THERE'S THE GROVELING TO SLEEP OVER, AND THEN THE REJECTION.
SO REALLY, I'M JUST SAVING YOU TIME.
THEN WE'LL HAVE DINNER JUST AS FRIENDS, THAT'S IT.
[MOTORCYCLE REVS] NO CANDLELIGHT, NO SOFT MUSIC, NO KISS GOOD NIGHT,
NO ROMANCE, NO SEX. [MATT] COME ON!
KRIS, COME ON. WE'RE GONNA BE LATE.
OKAY.
I'M SO IN.
WHAT'S TAKING YOU GUYS SO LONG? USUAL.
DUDE, GIVE IT UP. YOU'RE NOT GONNA GO OUT WITH HER.
IT NEVER HURTS TO RECONFIRM.
SEE YA.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. WILDFIRE'S FIVE-TO-ONE. AREN'T YOU GLAD?
I'D LIKE TO KEEP MY HORSE OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT, BUT THAT'S JUST ME.
KRIS, PABLO, HURRY! IT'S ABOUT TO START.
FIVE-TO-ONE ODDS. APPARENTLY SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE.
WE GOT A REAL SHOT AT THIS.
[ANNOUNCER OVER P.A.] THE FLAG IS UP.
AND THEY'RE OFF AND RUNNING.
WILDFIRE IN THE YELLOW OUTFIT TAKES THE EARLY LEAD, YES!
FOLLOWED BY PINCHING IN A PINCH, SERMON ON THE MOUNT IN SECOND.
IN THE BACK OF THE PACK, BISCUIT IN THE OVEN--
COME ON. OH, YEAH!
COME ON, WILDFIRE. AS THEY COME OFF THE FIRST TURN,
IT'S STILL WILDFIRE IN YELLOW OUT IN FRONT
FOLLOWED BY PINCHING IN A PINCH, SERMON ON THE MOUNT--
COME ON, WILDFIRE.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
BISCUIT IN THE OVEN STILL IN FIFTH.
ON THE FAR SIDE, IT'S WILDFIRE IN YELLOW IN FRONT. COME ON.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THERE YOU GO. COME ON, BOY.
GO, GO, GO, GO! KEEP GOING!
AND HERE THEY COME MAKING A MOVE FROM THE BACK.
IT'S PATRICK, BUT IT'S TOUCHING SECOND MAKING A HARD MOVE.
OKAY, HE'S GOTTA BREAK NOW. COME ON.
INTO THE FINAL STRETCH THEY COME. WILDFIRE NOW FALLING BACK INTO FOURTH POSITION.
COME ON. LOOK, SOMETHING'S WRONG.
TOUCHING SECOND AHEAD BY TWO LENGTHS NOW.
TOUCHING SECOND FOLLOWED BY PINCHING IN A PINCH. WILDFIRE OUT OF THE RUNNING.
[GROANS]
IT'S TOUCHING SECOND BY SIX LENGTHS.
TOUCHING SECOND DOWN THE STRAIGHTAWAY.
AND NOW IT'S A FIGHT FOR SECOND PLACE BETWEEN PINCHING IN A PINCH
AND SERMON ON THE MOUNT.
WILDFIRE IN LAST PLACE. IT WILL BE TOUCHING SECOND,
FOLLOWED BY SERMON ON THE MOUNT--
PABLO, SIXTH PLACE. WHAT HAPPENED? SOMETHING'S WRONG.
[PHONE RINGING] AT LEAST YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE SPOTLIGHT FOR A WHILE.
YEAH?
[MAN] SOMETHING'S REALLY WRONG WITH WILDFIRE.
[NEIGHING]
WILDFIRE! WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.
MATT, GIVE ME THAT HOSE. WHOA, BOY.
WHOA, WHOA, EASY. STAY HERE. WATCH OUT.
WHOA, WHOA.
GOOD JOB. GET HIS SADDLE OFF.
WHAT'S PABLO DOING? HE'S COOLING HIM OFF.
I'VE NEVER SEEN WILDFIRE ACT LIKE THIS.
HE'S ALWAYS SO CALM AFTER A RACE. HE'S IN A LOT OF PAIN.
YOU THINK HE'LL BE OKAY?
[NEIGHING]
THE DOC SAYS IT'S PROBABLY COLIC.
BUT HE IS NOT GONNA OPERATE. RISK FOR INFECTION IS TOO HIGH.
HOW CAN WE HELP? WE GOTTA KEEP HIM UP, MOVING AROUND.
I CAN DO THAT. I'LL HELP.
THAT'S A START. DR. ROSE SAYS
WE SHOULD SEE SOME RESULTS FROM THE MEDICATION BY TOMORROW.
[KRIS] WHAT IF WE DON'T? HE COULD DIE.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I MEAN, HE WAS SO EAGER
TO RUN AROUND THIS MORNING THAT HE WAS PRACTICALLY DANCING.
DOCTOR SAYS IT'S A REACTION TO SOMETHING HE ATE.
BUT HORSES DON'T EAT BEFORE A RACE.
DID HE GET INTO ANY VEGETATION, ANYTHING WITH PESTICIDES?
NO. I WOULD NEVER LET HIM DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
HE GOT INTO SOMETHING BAD. BUT I WAS WITH HIM THE WHOLE TIME.
I KNOW, BUT IT DOESN'T HELP TO KEEP INSISTING NOTHING HAPPENED.
YOU GOTTA THINK. DID I GO OUT FOR A CUP OF COFFEE?
DID I GET DISTRACTED ON THE WAY TO THE PRACTICE TRACK?
KRIS DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES LIKE THAT. EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES.
NOBODY IS OFF THE HOOK HERE.
BUT WE GOTTA FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM SO WE CAN MAYBE FIND A SOLUTION.
YES, MISS RITTER.
MY MOM'S STRESSING OUT. YOU SHOULDN'T BLAME YOURSELF--
NO, SHE'S RIGHT. I SHOULD HAVE KEPT A BETTER EYE ON WILDFIRE.
WHAT ELSE COULD YOU HAVE DONE?
I DON'T KNOW, BUT I LET SOMETHING SLIP BY. YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT?
YEAH.
YOU'RE A BAD LIAR. WHAT DO YOU REALLY THINK?
HONESTLY, I THINK WHAT HAPPENED TO WILDFIRE WASN'T MY FAULT.
I KNOW EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON IN THAT STALL
AND I'M WITH HIM EVERY SECOND THAT HE LEAVES THAT STABLE.
I MEAN, IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN JUST SOME CARELESS MISTAKE.
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK, THEN WHY DON'T YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?
WELL, WHAT ABOUT YOU? WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I BELIEVE YOU.
I GOT HIM.
THAT'S A GOOD BOY.
[PHONE RINGING]
HELLO? [MAN] CAN I SPEAK TO DANI?
HANG ON. IT'S HORNY OLD GUY. HIS WIFE JUST LEFT FOR BRANSON
AND HE WANTS YOU TO COME WATCH JAG ON DVD.
GIVE ME THAT. HEY, OLD GUYS ARE COOL.
ESPECIALLY IF YOU ALREADY DATED EVERYONE ELSE IN TOWN.
IT'S EITHER CHANGE AGE CLASS, OR DO ANOTHER LAP.
OKAY, YOU CAN GIVE ME THAT PHONE, OR I CAN PUT YOUR P.S.A.T. SCORES ON MY BLOG.
WHAT WERE THEY AGAIN? 490 MATH, 550 VERBAL.
RIGHT.
HELLO. THERE YOU ARE.
SORRY ABOUT THAT. DANI, CAN YOU COME IN TOMORROW?
TOMORROW? YEAH.
YEAH, IT'S GREAT. SEE YOU THEN.
ALL RIGHT, I LOOK FORWARD TO IT. YEAH, ME TOO.
BYE, DANI.
IS THERE ANYWHERE ELSE HE COULD HAVE EATEN SOMETHING?
NO. I MEAN, WE CHECKED THE STALLS, FEED BAYS, THE PADDOCK.
WELL, THERE'S NOTHING HERE.
WHAT'S THIS?
[CHUCKLES] A SPIDER.
GREAT. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I'M DOING THIS.
BECAUSE YOU ARE A VERY GUILTY PERSON. WRONG.
YOU ARE. I KNOW, BECAUSE I AM TOO.
YEAH? WHAT ARE YOU GUILTY ABOUT?
YOU KNOW ABOUT MY DAD, RIGHT?
HE DID SOME PRETTY STUPID THINGS WITH MY FAMILY,
AND I SHOULD HATE HIM, BUT I DON'T.
INSTEAD, I LIKE HIM THE MOST.
THAT'S OKAY. I'M SURE YOUR DAD HAS SOME NICE QUALITIES. THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I DON'T KNOW.
FORGET IT. IT'S CRAZY.
MATT.
CHECK THIS OUT. WHAT IS THIS?
SOME KIND OF FEED PELLET. WELL, THIS IS NOT WILDFIRE'S FEED.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE LIKE THIS BEFORE.
HOW DO YOU THINK IT GOT HERE? I CHECKED THE ENTIRE TRAILER THIS MORNING.
MAYBE IT GOT MIXED UP WITH THE HORSE FEED.
THEN HOW COME THE OTHER HORSES AREN'T SICK?
THERE'S A CHANCE IT WASN'T AN ACCIDENT.
YEAH, BUT WHO WOULD WANNA HURT WILDFIRE?
I HAVE NO IDEA.
BUT IT WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME A HORSE WAS POISONED AT THE TRACK.
I'M LEAVING TOMORROW MORNING AT 8:00, OKAY?
THE ROOFER IS COMING AT 7:00 TO START ON THE STABLES.
HEY. IS BECK SWEDISH? ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?
I ALWAYS IMAGINED HIM WEARING CLOGS.
DAD WANTS THE ROOF FINISHED BY THE TIME HE GETS BACK.
THAT'S WHY DAD PAYS JOSE TO TAKE CARE OF STUFF LIKE THAT. FORGET JOSE.
HIS DAUGHTER'S HAVING FIRST COMMUNION ON SUNDAY,
HIS SISTER'S COMING INTO TOWN, HE'S ALREADY STARTED DRINKING.
HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THAT? IT'S WHAT I DO.
OKAY, FINE, I'LL BE THERE. YOU BETTER BE. OTHERWISE IT'LL NEVER GET FINISHED.
RUN A HOSE UP ON THE ROOF TO CHECK FOR LEAKS BEFORE YOU PAY HIM, OKAY?
HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING ANYWAY? DAY TRIP.
WITH HORNY OLD GUY? YEAH.
SOMETIMES I WISH I LIVED BACK HERE.
IT'D BE COOL. IT'S KIND OF LIKE WORKING FOR THE CIRCUS,
BUT WITHOUT THE ANNOYING MUSIC AND KIDS.
WELL, LET'S ASK AROUND AND SEE IF ANYONE'S SEEN THESE PELLETS.
[DRUNKENLY] MATTY. MATTY, HOLD ON.
NANCY BOY TWISTED HIS ANKLE THIS MORNING.
HE'S STILL GONNA RUN, BUT I'D MOVE YOUR MONEY ONTO WARLOCK.
OKAY. WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT LATER. SURE.
YOU OWE ME 50 BUCKS.
OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
THERE YOU GO.
TELL YOUR MOM I'M RIDING AGAIN.
JUST IN CASE YOU NEED A JOCKEY. YOU BET.
IF THIS GUY'S RIDING, THEY MUST ONLY TEST THE HORSES FOR DOPE.
WALTER? HE'S A GOOD GUY. HE USED TO RIDE FOR US.
[CHUCKLES] YOU COME HERE A LOT, DON'T YOU?
SOME. IT'S NOT LIKE I'M A REGULAR OR ANYTHING. [MAN] MR. RITTER.
I'LL MEET YOU DOWN AT THE STALL, OKAY?
I'LL MEET YOU THERE.
YOU KNOW, I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK YOU WERE AVOIDING ME.
HEY, DO THESE LOOK FAMILIAR TO YOU GUYS?
[BOTH] MM-MM. THANKS.
HEY, I WAS HERE YESTERDAY WITH WILDFIRE.
WILDFIRE? HOW'S HE DOING? IS HE OKAY?
YEAH, HE'S BETTER, I THINK. HAVE YOU SEEN THIS FEED BEFORE?
NO. SORRY.
THANKS.
HEY, I TOLD YOU I'D GET THE MONEY.
THE QUESTION IS, WILL I? JUST GIVE ME A COUPLE MORE DAYS.
HEY, KID, YOU WANNA PLAY GAMES? GO BACK TO THAT LITTLE FRUITCAKE BOBBY.
I RAISED YOUR BETTING LIMIT. NOW YOU PAY ON TIME.
I-- I'LL GET YOU THE MONEY.
EITHER PAY UP TODAY, OR SOMETHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
I THINK YOU ALREADY KNOW.
[KICKING WALL] [NEIGHING]
HE'S WORSE, HE'S BLOATING AND THERE'S NO STOOLS SINCE YESTERDAY.
OH, THAT'S NOT GOOD. I'LL CALL DR. ROSE.
I THINK WE SHOULD TRY SOMETHING ELSE. WHAT?
HOLISTIC REMEDIES AND ACUPRESSURE. WE HAVE TO STOP THIS MEDICATION.
SWITCHING IS TOO RISKY. NATURAL REMEDIES TAKE LONGER.
SO IF YOU WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE, THEY WON'T WORK AT ALL.
NO. NO, I CAN'T DO IT TO HIM.
I MEAN, IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG--
NO, I'D RATHER STICK WITH DR. ROSE.
[DIALING PHONE] OKAY.
HEY, IT'S KRIS.
WELL, I JUST-- I WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT I CAN'T HAVE DINNER TONIGHT
BECAUSE WILDFIRE'S REALLY SICK AND I NEED TO STAY HERE WITH HIM.
THAT'S OKAY. I UNDERSTAND.
ACTUALLY, IT WORKS OUT FOR ME TOO. A COUPLE OF FRIENDS ARE HAVING A PARTY.
OH. UM, OKAY. THAT'S COOL.
I'LL JUST TALK TO YOU LATER THEN.
GOTTA GIVE JUNIOR CREDIT. HE DOESN'T GIVE UP EASILY.
WE'RE JUST FRIENDS, LIKE YOU AND ME.
YOU SEE THAT BOY THERE? WHO IS HE? NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE.
I KNOW THAT GUY. IT'S CARLOS SANCHEZ.
HE USED TO WORK AT RAINTREE. HE A FRIEND OF YOURS?
NOT ANYMORE. WE HAD TO FIRE HIM.
WHY'D YOU FIRE HIM? WE NEEDED THE MONEY.
SO WE HAD TO LET PEOPLE GO. CARLOS.
MATT, WHAT'S GOING ON?
THIS IS KRIS.
YEAH, I KNOW. MY SON TOLD ME.
WILDFIRE'S PRETTY SICK. WE THINK HE ATE SOME CATTLE FEED.
SO THAT'S WHY YOU'RE COMING TO SEE ME? YOU THINK IT'S MY FAULT?
NO, WE JUST WANNA KNOW WHO ELSE HAS THIS FEED. YEAH, RIGHT.
ISN'T IT ENOUGH YOU ALREADY CANNED ME ONCE? LET'S GO, RICKY.
[TRUCK ENGINE STARTS]
HE'S NOT GETTING ANY BETTER.
THIS ISN'T WORKING. WELL, MAYBE YOU NEED TO TRY SOMETHING NEW.
JEAN THINKS WE SHOULD STICK TO THE MEDS HE'S ON. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
[SIGHS] I'M HER PARTNER.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU AND YOUR PARTNER.
THIS IS ABOUT YOU AND WILDFIRE, AND YOU NEED TO DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO SAVE HIM.
HEY, I KNOW. I KNOW. [SNORTS]
HEY. SHH.
[NEIGHING]
HEY, YOU GUYS ARE SUPPOSED TO START AT 7:00. IT'S LIKE ALREADY 9:00.
MR. DAVIS. YOU KNOW HOW IT IS. MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. WE'RE A LITTLE SLOW GETTIN' STARTED.
COULD I GET YOU A CUP OF COFFEE? COULD USE MORE THAN ONE.
[CAR APPROACHING]
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? JUST TALKING ROOFS.
ASPHALT VERSUS TILE. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I THINK THAT THIS ROOF BETTER BE FINISHED BY THE TIME I GET BACK.
DON'T BOTHER ASKING FOR OVERTIME.
[PHONE RINGING]
RITTER STABLES.
HOW'S WILDFIRE?
HE'S NOT SO GREAT.
I DON'T SUPPOSE I COULD LURE YOU OUT FOR A VERY QUICK AND EMOTIONALLY SHALLOW BITE TO EAT.
NO. HE'S REALLY NOT FEELING SO GREAT.
AND I HAVE SOME WORK HERE. SO I SHOULD PROBABLY STICK AROUND.
OKAY. WELL, MAYBE I COULD COME OVER THERE.
I'LL BRING OVER SOME MICROWAVE MAC AND CHEESE AND WE CAN EAT IN THE STABLE.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL SEE YOU TONIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, HE'S GOOD. AND JUNIOR PULLS AHEAD WITH THE LEAD.
ANY NEWS? I CALLED THE FEED STORE.
CARLOS CALLED IN SICK THREE DAYS THIS WEEK.
INCLUDING THE RACE DAY. HE DIDN'T DO IT.
JUST BECAUSE HE WASN'T AT WORK DOESN'T MEAN HE WASN'T AT THE TRACK.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU WANT IT TO BE HIS FAULT. I WANNA KNOW THAT IT WASN'T.
I WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
[JEAN] I'LL PICK UP WILDFIRE'S MEDS IN TOWN,
AND WE'LL GET DR. ROSE OUT AGAIN.
I THINK THAT'S IT, UNLESS YOU HAVE ANYTHING.
DON'T CALL DR. ROSE. WHAT?
OH, WE HAVE TO. WILDFIRE'S WORSE THAN HE WAS LAST NIGHT.
I WANNA TRY A NEW TREATMENT. BUT WE DECIDED TO STICK WITH DR. ROSE.
NO, YOU DECIDED, AND WE'RE PARTNERS. SO YOU NEED TO LISTEN.
WILDFIRE IS NOT BETTER. IF WE WAIT ANY LONGER, IT'LL BE TOO LATE FOR ANYTHING ELSE.
NOW I WANNA STOP THE PILLS AND START ACUPRESSURE.
STOPPING THE PILLS COULD BE A DEATH SENTENCE. SO IS KEEPING HIM ON THEM.
BUT DR. ROSE SAID WE JUST HAVE TO GIVE IT SOME TIME.
THAT'S BECAUSE HE'S DONE EVERYTHING HE CAN. I'M WILLING TO TAKE A RISK TO SAVE HIS LIFE.
ARE YOU?
YOU'VE SEEN THESE ALTERNATIVE MEDICINES WORK?
YES.
ALL RIGHT.
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ALL OF THIS YESTERDAY?
[SIGHS]
I'VE BEEN YOUR TRAINER FOR EIGHT YEARS AND YOUR PARTNER FOR THREE WEEKS.
IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME TIME TO FIGURE THIS OUT.
THAT'S TRUE.
IT'S HARD TO GIVE UP THE LAST WORD.
WE'LL DO IT YOUR WAY.
AND IT WILL BE MY WAY TOO.
AND IF I'M WRONG? THEN WE MADE THE DECISION TOGETHER AS PARTNERS.
WE SHARE THE CONSEQUENCES.
AND IF IT'S RIGHT, WE SHARE THE CREDIT. DEAL?
DEAL. THANK YOU.
[MAN] YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, I GOT IT.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WILDFIRE'S PRETTY SICK FROM THAT CATTLE FEED. HE DIDN'T GET IT FROM ME.
YEAH. I HEARD YOU WEREN'T AT WORK THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.
YOU'VE BEEN CHECKING UP ON ME? IF IT WAS YOUR HORSE, YOU'D BE DOING THE SAME THING.
I SPENT A COUPLE OF DAYS WITH MY SON, OKAY? IS HE AROUND?
LEAVE HIM OUT OF THIS.
OKAY. I JUST FIGURED YOU'D WANNA TALK ABOUT IT
BEFORE WE TURN IT OVER TO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
[SIGHS] I-- I WENT DOWN SOUTH.
AFTER MY WIFE LEFT ME, I NEEDED SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF RICKY.
SO I BROUGHT MY MOTHER BACK FROM MEXICO.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME? MAMA?
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
I THINK THERE'S BEEN A MIX-UP. WE'RE TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR SON'S BEEN.
OKAY, MAMA. GRACIAS. YOU HAPPY NOW?
[DOOR CLOSES]
OKAY, YOU CAN'T FAKE A MOTHER LIKE THAT.
MR. DAVIS. A QUESTION FOR YOU.
HOW DO YOU WANNA GO ON THE UNDERCOATING, CEMENT OR FELTING?
THE WHAT? I RECOMMEND A WOOD SHEATH
FELTED WITH A 30-POUND MEMBRANE.
HOLD ON.
[LINE RINGING] [DANI] HELLO?
THE ROOFER HAS A QUESTION. CEMENT OR FELT SOMETHING?
TELL HIM TO STICK WITH THE BID. HE'S JUST TRYING TO SELL US
SOMETHING MORE EXPENSIVE AND JACK UP THE PRICE.
OKAY. [WOMAN] DR. COHEN, PLEASE REPORT TO L.D.
WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?
[DANI] I GOTTA GO. [LINE DISCONNECTS]
GOOD MORNING, DANI. WE'RE ALL READY FOR YOU.
LET'S GO, BUDDY. COME ON. GOTTA WALK.
COME ON, BUDDY. GOTTA WALK.
WILDFIRE, LET'S GO. COME ON. COME ON.
[PHONE RINGING] [GROANS]
HELLO. [MAN] I WANT MY FIVE GRAND.
I CAN'T TALK. DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YA.
OH, GEEZ.
IS EVERYTHING OKAY? YEAH, YEAH.
ALL RIGHT. WE GOTTA KEEP WILDFIRE MOVING.
MAYBE PABLO AND YOUR MOM ARE RIGHT. THOSE PELLETS COULD HAVE COME FROM ANYWHERE.
AND IF THEY'RE JUST LYING AROUND IN THE TRAILER, IT'S MY FAULT.
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. I'M THE ONE WHO CLEANS OUT THAT TRAILER.
I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY.
IT'S MINE! IN FACT, I KNOW IT IS.
WHAT?
REMEMBER ELI, AT THE TRACK? YEAH.
HE'S A BOOKIE, AND I OWE HIM $5,000. HE'S PRETTY PISSED OFF.
OH, MY GOD.
I THINK HE MIGHT HAVE POISONED WILDFIRE.
HE WAS THERE THE DAY OF THE RACE. HE KNOWS HOW IMPORTANT WILDFIRE IS TO OUR FAMILY.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS BEFORE? I DON'T KNOW.
I'M SORRY. I THOUGHT IT WAS CARLOS, AND THEN I REALIZED IT WASN'T.
IT WAS ME. I HAVE TO SETTLE UP BEFORE HE TRIES IT AGAIN.
[SIGHS] I'M GONNA SELL THE BIKE.
WHAT?
MATT, I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THIS BIKE.
YEAH. MY DAD BOUGHT IT FOR ME.
[CHUCKLES] WE WERE GONNA FIX IT UP ON MY 17TH BIRTHDAY.
BUT THEN HE RAN INTO MONEY PROBLEMS, AND LEFT.
THAT'S WHEN I THOUGHT, OKAY, I'M GONNA FIX IT UP AND GIVE IT TO MY KID SOMEDAY.
[CHUCKLES] BUT NOW I'M THE ONE WITH THE MONEY PROBLEMS.
I TOLD YOU I'M A LOT LIKE MY DAD.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK TO ELI. THE GUY DOESN'T TALK.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
WHY, BECAUSE I'M THE NICE GUY? LOOK.
IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT I THINK OF YOU. YOU'VE GOT A REAL PROBLEM AND YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING.
I AM. I'M SELLING THE BIKE. I MEANT ABOUT THE GAMBLING.
I MADE A FEW BAD BETS. NO, IT'S LIKE YOU SAID.
YOU'RE OUT OF CONTROL AND YOU NEED TO STOP IT NOW.
I KEEP THINKING I WILL.
THEN I DON'T. SOMETIMES I WONDER IF I EVEN CAN.
YOU CAN. I KNOW YOU CAN. I WOULDN'T BE SO SURE.
WHEN I SAID I DIDN'T FEED WILDFIRE THOSE PELLETS, YOU BELIEVED ME.
YOU HAD FAITH THAT I WOULDN'T MAKE THAT KIND OF MISTAKE, AND YOU WERE RIGHT.
I HAVE FAITH IN YOU. YOU'RE GOING DOWN A BAD PATH, BUT YOU'RE GONNA TURN IT AROUND.
I KNOW IT.
DO ME A FAVOR.
GO ON ONE LAST BIKE RIDE WITH ME. I CAN'T.
OH, COME ON. PABLO'S TAKING CARE OF WILDFIRE.
YOU NEED A BREAK. YOU'LL FEEL BETTER. SO WILL I.
HALF-HOUR. NO MORE, OKAY?

YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANNA COME WITH ME TO SELL THE BIKE? THAT WAS GREAT,
BUT I HAVE TO STAY WITH WILDFIRE, AND JUNIOR'S COMING BY TO KEEP ME COMPANY.
SEE YA LATER.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HIM? SHH.
IT'S ACUPRESSURE MASSAGE TO THE COLIC POINTS IN THE FACE.
WHAT ABOUT DR. ROSE?
[SIGHS] I TALKED TO JEAN. WE'RE TRYING SOMETHING ELSE.
SO IS HE GONNA BE OKAY?
WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO TO HELP?
NOTHING NOW WE CAN DO EXCEPT WAIT.
HEY. YOU'VE DONE A LOT ALREADY.
HI. IT'S DANI DAVIS. I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A CAR MEET ME HERE AT 5:00.
[WOMAN] I'M SORRY. THAT RESERVATION WAS CANCELED.
WELL, WHO CANCELED IT? HEY.
HI. HI.
YOU OKAY? I'M TIRED. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
YOU SOUNDED WEIRD WHEN WE TALKED, SO I CALLED THE CAR COMPANY TO SEE WHERE YOU WERE.
OH. I WAS WORRIED.
WANNA TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
LOOK, I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE PREGNANT OR WHATEVER.
I DON'T WANNA GO INTO IT. JUST DO ME A FAVOR AND TELL ME YOU'RE OKAY.
YEAH, I'LL BE FINE.
OKAY, WHATEVER.
WELL, I WASN'T PREGNANT. I HAD SOME BAD LOOKING CELLS.
ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH. THEY LASERED 'EM OUT.
LOOK, I'M GONNA BE FINE.
DOES DAD KNOW? NO. LOOK, IT'S JUST YOU.
AND THAT'S THE WAY THAT I WANT IT TO STAY. ALL RIGHT.
WELL, I'LL GO GET THE CAR.
THANKS FOR COMING.
I MEAN, I KNOW YOU HAD A HOT DATE OR SOMETHING.
IT'S NO BIG DEAL. I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH OF A SHOT ANYWAY.
WAS IT KRIS?
HMM. TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH.
[CHUCKLES]
[GROANS]
HERE YOU GO. TAKE THIS HOME. [LAUGHS]
BACK IN BUSINESS.
NEXT TIME YOU WANT SOMETHING, COME AFTER ME.
WHAT? LEAVE MY HORSE ALONE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT.
I LOVE HORSES.
HI. SORRY I'M SO LATE. I BROUGHT DINNER.
20 MINUTES IS LATE. TWO HOURS IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN STOOD UP AND SHOT DOWN.
LOOK, I HAD A SITUATION-- ANOTHER PARTY?
AND I COULDN'T JUST LEAVE. MM-HMM.
HEY, YOU CANCELED ON ME ONCE. YEAH, I WAS DEALING WITH A SICK HORSE.
I HAD TO PICK SOMEONE UP AT THE DOCTOR'S. WHAT'S HER NAME?
I REALLY CAN'T SAY.
SHE'S NOT A GIRLFRIEND. THEN WHY CAN'T YOU TELL ME HER NAME?
BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.
COME ON!
IT'S GENERAL MING'S. WHY DON'T WE SPREAD OUT A NICE FEED SACK
UNDER A COLD, FLUORESCENT LIGHT IN THE BARN AND HAVE OUR UNROMANTIC DINNER?
BECAUSE, LET'S SEE. I DON'T REALLY TRUST YOU.
AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE A DIFFERENT VALUE SYSTEM AND, OH, YEAH,
I ATE TWO HOURS AGO.
KRIS, WAIT.
[SIGHS]
JUNIOR, WHERE'S KRIS? WITH WILDFIRE.
SPRING ROLL?
THANKS.
[CLEARS THROAT] SO...
YOU, SITTING HERE...ALONE,
EATING GENERAL MING'S... CASHEW CHICKEN.
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
WELL, I WAS GONNA HAVE DINNER WITH KRIS, BUT THEN I WAS LATE AND...
SHOT DOWN? YEP.
WELL, CHEER UP, BRO. I GOT GOOD NEWS.
FOUND YOUR CREED CD. YOU'RE KIDDING?
SWEET!
NOT THAT I LIKE THEM ANYMORE. WHERE'D YOU FIND IT?
IN MY MOTORCYCLE SADDLEBAG.
I SOLD IT TODAY. NO WAY. WHY?
I PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO IT AND
[SIGHS] SOMEBODY OFFERED ME THE MAGIC NUMBER.
BUT YOU'VE SPENT LIKE EVERY WEEKEND SINCE EIGHTH GRADE WORKING ON THAT BIKE.
THAT BIKE WAS FAMILY. [CHUCKLES]
YOU JUST SOLD IT?
DUDE, IT WAS JUST A BIKE.
[KRIS] HEY, SOMEBODY HELP!
[MATT] WHAT HAPPENED?
SOMEBODY WAS IN ONE OF OUR STALLS, THEY SAW ME AND RAN.
WHAT WERE THEY DOING? I DON'T KNOW, BUT I FOUND THESE.
WHERE'D HE GO? THEY'RE GONE, BUT I SAW A PICKUP TRUCK.
IT LOOKED A LOT LIKE CARLOS'.
[PANTING]
CARLOS SANCHEZ? HE WAS GONE BEFORE YOU EVEN GOT HERE. [BOTH] BUT WE SAW HIM--
WE SAW HIM AT THE TRACKS, WE ASKED HIM A FEW QUESTIONS. WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS?
MOM, THE GUY HATES US. YEAH, BECAUSE WE LET HIM GO.
BUT WE DID IT TO CUT COSTS, NOT BECAUSE HE WASN'T A GOOD GUY.
YOU CAN'T GO AROUND ACCUSING PEOPLE OF A SERIOUS CRIME.
YOU HAVE NO PROOF HE DID ANYTHING. WHO ELSE COULD IT BE?
ANYONE WITH CATTLE FEED. [MATT] BUT HE SELLS FEED.
WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO? JUST LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT? WHAT DO YOU THINK?
[SIGHS] I KNOW CARLOS.
I WATCHED HIM WORK WITH THE HORSES FOR FOUR YEARS.
I DON'T CARE HOW MAD HE IS, HE'S NOT GONNA HURT ONE.
I'M GOING TO CHECK OUT THE TRUCK, SEE IF HE HAS THOSE PELLETS.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL WATCH OUT FOR THEM. ALL RIGHT.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
[MOUTHING WORDS]
[PABLO] WERE YOU HERE YESTERDAY, IN THE AFTERNOON?
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
CAN YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION? NO.
YOU SURE ABOUT THAT? ISN'T IT ENOUGH? YOU PEOPLE FIRE ME.
NOW I'M LYING AND TRESPASSING.
SOMEONE SAW YOUR TRUCK. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE THAT DRIVES A FORD PICKUP.
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO WILDFIRE. [PABLO, INDISTINCT]
[CARLOS] NO! I DON'T HAVE TO SHOW YOU JACK!
CARLOS, DON'T MOVE OR I'LL CALL THE SHERIFF.
YOU AIN'T GOT NOTHIN' ON ME.
YOU JUST WANNA BLAME SOMEONE BECAUSE YOU PUT ALL YOUR MONEY ON SOME CRAP HORSE!
[PABLO] CARLOS.
HEY! GET OUT OF MY TRUCK! YOU KEEP TRYING TO POISON OUR HORSE!
YOU GO BEHIND MY BACK AND YOU SEARCH MY TRUCK? TAKE IT EASY.
WHAT'S GOING ON? I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU'D PULL SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
SOMETHING LIKE WHAT? YOU SET ME UP! HE'S SEARCHING MY TRUCK!
I WAS LOOKING FOR CATTLE FEED. HE'S BEEN HARASSING ME ALL WEEK!
HE SHOULDN'T HAVE SEARCHED YOUR TRUCK. I'M SORRY.
[SIGHS] WELL, AT LEAST NOW YOU KNOW.
I DON'T CARRY ANY CATTLE FEED!
[HORSE NEIGHS]
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? GET THOSE OUT OF THERE NOW!
GET 'EM YOURSELF.
WHO MADE YOU DO IT, HUH?
[RICKY] DAD! ANSWER ME!
WHO MADE YOU DO IT? NO ONE! JUST ME.
WHY WOULD YOU HURT AN INNOCENT HORSE?
KRIS, WHAT'S GOING ON? [JEAN] EVERYBODY OKAY?
THEY FIRED MY DAD. THEY HAD TO FIRE A LOT OF PEOPLE.
WELL, HE COULDN'T GET ANOTHER JOB, THEN MY MOM LEFT.
HERE'S OUR POISONER. HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE MY SON!
ARE YOU GONNA TELL HIM OR AM I?
DAD, IT WAS ME.
WHAT DID YOU DO, RICKY? YOU SAID THEY WERE BAD. I DID IT FOR YOU.
GO GET IN THE TRUCK.
I'M SORRY, JEAN.
AT LEAST NOW WE KNOW.
[SIGHS] I THOUGHT IT'D MAKE ME FEEL BETTER, BUT IT DOESN'T.
WHY DON'T I SPEND THE NIGHT WITH WILDFIRE? YOU GET SOME SLEEP.
I'M NOT SLEEPING TILL THIS IS OVER. I'LL STOP BY LATER ON.
[SNORTS]
[SNORTS, WHINNIES]
HEY!
LOOK AT YOU! YOU'RE UP!
GOD, I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU. HI.
I HEARD ABOUT WILDFIRE. HOW'S HE DOING?
DOING A LOT BETTER. POOR GUY WAS REALLY SICK.
HAD A LITTLE HEALTH SCARE MYSELF. YEAH? YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
I HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL AND JUNIOR BROUGHT ME HOME LAST NIGHT.
OH.
WERE YOU GUYS SUPPOSED TO DO SOMETHING?
WELL, YEAH. HE WAS GONNA STOP BY.
OH, SORRY IF I BLEW YOUR PLANS. HE WAITED FOR ME FOR LIKE TWO HOURS.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW,
I ALWAYS THOUGHT MY BROTHER WAS ALWAYS KIND OF A SUPERFICIAL DORK.
WELL, AT LEAST HE'S NOT SUPERFICIAL.
HE'S A GOOD GUY.
SEE YA.
[WHINNIES]
[WHINNYING CONTINUES]
CELEBRITY MODEL BOXING. WOW, NADIA REALLY TOOK A BEATING.
DUDE, HER LIPS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT.

♪♪ [WOMAN SINGING OPERA] HEY!
WHAT'S UP?
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS WATCHIN'? AN OPERA.
YEAH, I MEANT BEFORE I CAME OVER.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WE LOVE THE OPERA.
I MEAN, THE SINGING, THE SYMPHONY, THE WAY THEY COME TOGETHER, IT'S--
YOU WANT SOME ICE CREAM? YES.
HEY.
HI.
I'M REALLY SORRY ABOUT THE OTHER NIGHT.
IT'S OKAY. I KNOW I WAS LATE. WELL, DANI TOLD ME WHY.
I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU IF I COULD-- NO, YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.
I GUESS I WASN'T REALLY TRUSTING YOU.
HOW COME?
BECAUSE...I FELT LIKE WHEN I COULDN'T COME OVER,
IT WAS SO EASY FOR YOU TO GO TO A PARTY--
THAT'S WHAT I WANTED YOU TO THINK.
BUT THE TRUTH IS, THERE WAS NO PARTY.
I JUST WATCHED JON STEWART YELL AT SOME REPUBLICAN ON TV AND WENT TO BED.
[CHORTLES]
YOU KNOW...
WE NEVER REALLY DID HAVE OUR UNROMANTIC DATE.
I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE IT'S BETTER THAT WE DON'T.
WHY?
BECAUSE EVEN IF WE WERE EATING CHINESE TAKEOUT
UNDER FLUORESCENT LIGHTS IN A SHOPPING MALL IN TIJUANA,
IT WOULD STILL BE ROMANTIC TO ME.
'CAUSE I'D STILL BE HAVING DINNER WITH YOU.
AND IF THERE'S NO CHANCE I CAN EVER KISS YOU AGAIN,
THEN WHAT'S THE POINT?
THE POINT IS THAT,
I WOULD GET TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE BEFORE WE STARTED RUSHING INTO THINGS.
WHO'S RUSHING? WE HAVEN'T KISSED FOR EIGHT DAYS. NINE.
REALLY?
[MATT] HERE WE GO!
WASN'T SURE WHAT KIND YOU GUYS WANTED, SO I BROUGHT ALL THREE.
THANKS. VANILLA, CHOCOLATE AND COFFEE.
THERE'S A PARTY AT CINDY MEYER'S TONIGHT. IF YOU GUYS WANT, WE CAN GO.
[BOTH] NAH!
ALL RIGHT.
THE SOFA THEN.
LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA BE US THREE TONIGHT.
COOL.
