- Previously on Heartland. - (Jack) That's Gracie Pryce?
She used to spend time at the ranch with your mom.
- You did well, you know, you capitalized
on her fame and what she built.
- At the end of last season, I got run by a guy.
Put my head into the post.
Hit me so hard, it messed up my eye.
- (Amy) By my count, we're missing at least 20 head.
- I don't want to see Jack's face when we show up
without them. - It's not going to happen.
I'm not leaving one cow behind.
Are you OK going with Dex or Katie if you prefer?
- I'll go with Dex.
- (Amy) Tracks look pretty fresh.
- (Lou) We got a bigger problem than a wolf.
- Yeah.
Rustlers.
("Kid" by The Revivalists)
- ♪ I walked downtown to get my fortune read ♪
♪ She took one look and this is what she said ♪
- ♪ Hey, kid ♪
- Hey, get in here. That's dangerous.
- I just love the smell of the country air.
It smells like home.
- I can't wait to see the looks on their faces
when they see who I brought with me.
- ♪ I'm just living for the spirit now ♪
(mooing)
- (Amy) What did the police say? - (Lou) They don't have
enough officers to stake out every field.
- So it's basically up to us.
- No, this is grand theft.
Those rustlers are dangerous.
- Then what are we supposed to do?
Just let them go about their business
until we're out of business?
- Of course not.
Look, we can start by setting up some cameras.
- Oh, great. Yeah, the raccoons.
They'll have a field day like that time
I put one up on the barn.
- That was so cute.
- I'm going to lie down.
(Nathan and Amy laughing)
- Hey, cowboy! - Hi!
(both laugh)
Sorry it's just a flyby.
But last competition of the season,
and I'm only a couple hours away.
- I thought you were travelling
with your buddy from Salt Spring.
- Yeah, I gotta meet Tanner at my place in 10.
- So then why did you trailer Montana over here?
- Uh...
it's actually Bigby in there.
- Who? - Gracie's new ranch horse.
OK.
He's really head shy and won't let anyone
near him with a halter or bridle.
And there's one more thing you should know about Bigby.
Gracie doesn't know that I brought him over.
- Nathan! - She tried working on him
and just didn't have any luck, and she's too proud
to accept your help, so. - Well, she's going to notice
that he's not there. - No.
I told her that I knew a rancher
who could put some miles on him,
so I'm not technically lying.
- Fine.
But this better not blow up in my face.
- You're the best.
- So our herd got hit by cattle rustlers,
and you should probably check yours.
- Seriously?
Oh, OK. Yeah.
I'll get Gracie to look into it tonight.
(light music)
- Peter's back.
- Who's that with him?
(Amy chuckles)
- Guess who's back?
- Dad! - Oh, hello there!
Hey. (Peter and Amy laugh)
- Welcome home, honey. - Hey.
So, I've got a surprise for you guys.
(front door shuts) (Lou gasps)
- Georgie! Hi! Oh, my gosh!
What are you doing here? (Georgie and Amy laugh)
- I entered the Springview Grand Prix
here next weekend. - Oh, fun!
Is Quinn here too? - Wait a minute.
Did you come with a surprise? Let me see your ring finger.
- No, he didn't come.
Actually, we broke up.
- Oh...
("Dreamer" by Jenn Grant)
- ♪ And at the break of day ♪

- So you're--you're doing good?
I mean, of course, not great under the circumstances.
- Mom, you don't need to tiptoe around my breakup.
It was my decision and I don't regret it.
- I know, but I... - No buts.
I'm happy.
And I'm stoked you had a spot for me at the dude ranch.
- And we're just happy that you're here and you're OK.
- Hmm. I am.
Actually...
not so much in the jumping ring.
Phoenix and I have been totally off our game.
Amy, maybe you could work with us tomorrow
after Phoenix gets out of his travel quarantine
and you're done working with your boyfriend's horse?
- (Jack) So you met Nathan? - Yeah, briefly.
He seems great.
- Doesn't Nathan need Montana for the competition?
- It's actually Bigby...
which is Gracie's new horse.
- What?!
- It's kind of a secret. Nathan doesn't really want
Gracie to know.
- I'm surprised you would do any favour for Gracie Pryce,
secret or not. (Peter sighs)
- Lou, I thought you were going to leave
the Pryce family drama alone tonight, right?
Let's concentrate on the good stuff!
The family's all here together, huh?
Right? Let's make the most of it.
- Thanks, Peter. - Mmhmm!
- (all) Cheers.
- Cheers, Dad. - Welcome home, baby.
(insects chirring)
(birds chirping)
(soft music)
(whoosh)
(hoofbeats)
- Get up.
(soft snorting)
(neighing) - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hey!
(soft snorting)
(whoosh)
- Hi. (vehicle door shuts)
I'm a friend of Dex Cashman's?
I'm told he lives here now. - He does,
but you just missed him. He went to the rodeo grounds.
- Any idea when he'll be back? - Um...
no, he didn't say. You should probably just text him.
- Yeah, it's actually been a while, so I'd much rather
meet face to face.
Thank you.
(uneasy music)
(indistinct distant speaking)
- What are you doing here? I thought we were training.
- No, we are! Dexy just wanted to squeeze in a coffee first.
Or, sorry, a hot chocolate with whipped cream and sprinkles.
- Hey, I don't do sprinkles. - Aww.
Because I'm so sweet, you don't need 'em?
- Can we just get to work? - Yeah.
Yoo-hoo! Hi. (vehicle door shuts)
- Hey, Dex.
- Shim?
What are you doing here? - I was hoping we could talk.
You have time for a coffee?
- I have practice.
- Oh, so you're still... - No, I ride bulls now.
- Oh, wow.
All right, maybe later then?
- I don't think so.
- Come on, man. It's been a while.
- Not gonna happen, Shim.
(sighs)
- OK, I'm sorry.
We'll, um, we'll practise later, OK?
- Uh... (Katie sighs)
Seriously... - (River, distant) You OK?
- (Lou) You think it's hidden enough?
- Yeah, I think so. - OK.
So I'm going to sync the cameras to my phone.
- I'm not clueless about this stuff.
You can sync it to my phone, too.
- No, no, no, no, no, because you will skip
the police and rush out here to confront them yourself.
- Hmph.
- (Peter) Ah! You're so fit!
- Well, I am an Olympic hopeful.
Or at least I used to be.
- You'll get your groove back.
(Georgie sighs)
(Peter sighs)
Hey, listen, I wanted to say thank you for...
letting us know that we don't have to tiptoe
around your breakup.
I appreciate that.
And I also wanted to throw it back at you and say,
you know, I hope you're not...
keeping your feelings inside the trauma vault.
- The trauma vault?
- I heard it on a relationship podcast.
It's pretty great, actually. I just know
that breakups can be hard, and--
- Dad, I told you I'm fine.
We were growing apart for years.
I'm honestly just looking forward to the next chapter.
- Right. Ah, see, that's the, uh, flip the script phase.
That's what, uh, what we call that.
I just, I don't want you to be, you know,
repressing your feelings, and I want you to know--
- OK, stop with the weird buzzwords.
Maybe you need your own podcast, Mr. Relationship Advice.
- OK, yeah, maybe I will get it.
And I'll call it Doctor Relationship Advice
because it sounds better.
- You know, there actually might be
something you could help me with, Doctor.
- Really? 'cause OK.
- My dad is driving me nuts.
How do I get him off my case?
- Wow. I can't believe I walked right into that.
(Georgie laughs)
See you. - Bye.
(engine hums)
(tense music)
(phone line trilling)
- (recording) Your call has been forwarded
to an automatic voice message system.
(beep) - Hey, Quinn.
Just... trying you again.
If you could please just call me back.
Thanks.
(vehicle approaching)
- Hey, Amy. Your sister around?
- Um, I think she's out in the fields
installing security cameras.
- Nathan told me about your herd. They hit us too.
I'll call Lou for advice on the surveillance system.
Is that Bigby? - Please don't be mad.
Nathan asked me to look at him. (Gracie scoffs)
- He went behind my back? - I'm sorry.
This is between you and Nathan.
- Except my horse is in your pen!
Yeah, I need to look after my herd.
I'll be back tomorrow.
- I've been making really good progress with him.
It would be a shame to quit now. - I didn't say I was quitting.
We'll work with them together.
OK.
(vehicle door shuts)
- I've set up motion detectors, so I'll get pinged
anytime anyone goes near the access gates.
And I told Gracie to do the same thing over there.
- Oh, I'm proud of you, Lou.
Putting aside everything to be neighbourly.
It's good. - Well...
you know, anything to catch these rustlers.
- I'd still rather camp out and nail them in the act.
- No, this is safer and more effective.
- I totally get why you're frustrated, Katie.
If you want, I could help you out tomorrow.
- Really? That would be great. - Yeah.
- Wait, what? Help? Dad's here. I can help.
What's going on? - It's a horse thing.
- Yeah, not your department, Dr. Relationship Advice.
- OK. - What?
- Nothing.
- I just, I need to get my turns tighter
for my do-si-do routine with River.
- Why isn't she doing it with you?
- She keeps skipping practice to hang out with Dex.
She did it again today. - (Jack) Oh, yeah?
We were supposed to have a practice session today,
but apparently his car crapped out.
Sounds like I need to have a little chat with him.
- Whoops. - If you go to the field,
I'll see you, so don't you dare...
(door shuts)
- OK.
Hey, gang.
Family cookout, dude ranch, tomorrow night.
- (Georgie and Katie) Yeah. - No excuses.
- That sounds fun! - Who's in?
- Sure, Dad. - Great.
- Awesome. - Mm, we should do s'mores.
- Sure. - Salted chocolate s'mores?
- Yes! So good!
- OK, wait, wait, wait. The question is, though,
milk chocolate or dark chocolate?
- (Katie) Milk. - (Georgie) Dark.
Excuse me? - For s'mores?! OK, but...
(insects chirring)
(horse neighs softly)
(rock music playing over headphones)
(Dex grunting)
- (Jack) Hey. (Dex grunts)
- Whoa! Hey!
- You trying to make up for missing practice
to hang out with your girlfriend?
- Katie ratted me out?
- I just came to remind you...
it was you that came to me about this training stuff.
- I know. I know. I just... - If you're not serious,
don't waste my time.
- I am serious, Jack!
Look, this guy that I used to play hockey with
showed up out of the blue.
- So you go day drinking again?
- No!
I went to the driving range to get my mind off Shim.
- Shim?
- The goon who ran my face into the post,
ruined my hockey career.
- So what did he want? - I didn't care.
- Well, maybe he came to apologize.
- Too bad. If he wanted to be let off the hook,
he came to the wrong guy.
(blender whirring)
(uneasy music)
(mooing)
(gate creaking)
- Put your boots on, Grandpa. We gotta go.
- You get a ding on your phone?
- No, the cameras went offline in the middle of the night.
We gotta go check on the herd now. Come on.
- Cameras!
Hup! Get up there.
(repetitive whistling)
- They got 10 more.
- Well, I guess your cameras aren't the answer after all.
- They popped the batteries out!
They must have come up from behind.
I don't know how they figured out where they were.
- We're probably not the first ranchers to think
of a surveillance system.
But if I'd have been waiting here--
- No, for the hundredth time!
- Then what, Lou?!
- We replace the batteries,
and we repositioned the cameras in opposite directions
so we can see them no matter where they come from.
- So we want to double down on a system
that already failed us.
- Not helpful, Grandpa! I'm trying my best.
- All right.
All right, let's move the cameras.
Yeah.
(pensive music)
- Thanks for the tips for installing our cameras.
- I'm not sure we're the example you want to follow.
- What happened?
- They cut our camera feed. Took 10 more.
- Oh, no. I'm so sorry.
Looks like our cameras are still up and running.
No alerts.
It's all so stressful.
- Talk about stressful! First I had to deal with
someone trying to poach Miley from me,
and then getting my daughter to rep their brand, and now this.
- Let's just separate business from protecting our ranches.
When it comes to rustlers, we're in the same boat.
- You're right. But I'm still going to watch my back.
Wouldn't want to get tossed overboard.
(Lou clucks)
(bright music)
(neighing)
- Yes, Katie!
Nice job!
I think my idea is working.
- Thanks. Yeah, the barrels are definitely forcing us
to take tighter turns. - Yeah.
Well, that should translate well to the do-si-do.
- Yeah, if my partner ever gets here.
- Here. - Thanks.
(phone beeps)
Seriously? River cancelled. Again.
Said she needs to be there for Dex.
- Really? Because of that guy that showed up?
- I don't know. She's being cagey.
- Hmm... Well, we're here.
Might as well use the practice time.
- You need two to do the do-si-do.
- I know! Let's sister up.
I can borrow one of the rodeo school horses.
- (Amy) See? Doesn't hurt, does it?
There's nothing to be afraid of.
- You sure do remind me of Marion.
She used to mentor me.
I was a... an aspiring horse trainer back in my teens.
- Really?
What made you give it up?
- It wasn't my path.
I didn't have Marion's magic touch.
Hey, would you mind if I try putting on the halter?
- Um, well, I've been the one working with him,
so maybe I should try for the first time.
- Maybe, but it's my horse, and I'm going to have
to do it at some point, so.
- Yeah. - Thank you.
(Amy sighs) OK, Bigby. Come on.
(Bigby neighs) (Gracie grunts)
Damn it!
What'd I do wrong this time? - Well, I think maybe
we just pushed things a little fast.
Let's give him a break.
- OK, a break.
Yeah, I--I'm--I'm going to go check on my--my herd.
I'll be back later. (gate clanks)
(adventurous music)
- Now!
- That was pretty good, right?
- Not bad at all.
You want to be my new do-si-do partner?
- You and River will get back on the same page eventually.
- Yeah, if she ever makes it to practice.
- You seem pretty annoyed with her.
You sure there's not anything else going on,
like maybe that guy who lives in the loft?
- I am not jealous that they're dating.
(Georgie laughs) - I never said that.
- It was implied. (Georgie giggles)
River is cool and fun and way too good for him.
I just hate seeing her waste her time
with a loose cannon like Dex.
- Well, if she's as good a friend as you say she is,
you might want to give her a heads up.
(pensive music)
- Guess who's back? (Amy laughs)
- Hey! - Hey.
I'm back for good this time.
And I even... brought home some new hardware.
- You won? - I did!
- Nice work! - Thanks.
Felt good to end on a win.
What are you gals up to?
- Well, you got me in trouble, mister.
Gracie found out about Bigby.
- Oh, no. She's gonna kill me.
Uh, Bigby's still here, though. - Oh, yeah.
She allowed me to keep working with him
as long as she could help.
- Oh? How's that going? - It's great.
Did you know that she wanted to be a horse trainer?
- Uh, vaguely. Like, when I was a little kid.
- Yeah, well, apparently my mom mentored her.
- Seriously? - Yeah, we were just going
through my mom's old journals to see
if she wrote anything about Gracie.
- Oh, yeah? Why?
- It's an interesting connection, don't you think?
- Yeah, I guess so.
- You want to come to dinner?
- I'd love to, but... I gotta go for dinner
with Tanner before he heads home tomorrow.
Get this.
He wants to sell me his ranch on Salt Spring Island.
- An island? - Mmhmm.
- You should buy it. (Nathan laughs)
- I think I'd rather take you to Hawaii
on a vacation or something.
It's warmer there.
Plus, I already have a ranch.
- (Dex, distant) I told you, I don't want to hear it!
- (Shim, distant) OK, but just give me a chance!
- Just get out of here, Shim!
- Come on, man. You don't have to be like this.
- How did you think this would go?
- Look, I'm just trying to own up for what I did.
- It's too late. - I'm trying to say
that I am sorry!
- What can't you understand?
It was a dirty hit, and I can't play hockey anymore.
It was your fault, and I have to live with it,
so you should, too!
- Look, I'm trying to make it up to you, man.
(Shim grunts) - (Jack) DEX!
(tense music)
(panting)
Take her inside!
- Yeah. Come on.
You step back, son. - It's OK.
I deserved that. It's all good.
- No, it is not.
You need to leave.
(tense music)
What the hell was that?!
- It's like he said, he had it coming!
- Not here, he didn't.
Not on my property!
- He brought this to me! - Enough!
After all the crap I've been through with you and now this...
we're done here.
- What, like I'm fired again? - What do you think?
I want you gone in the morning.
- (Nathan) You know, lately, I've seen some crazy videos
of dogs riding horses.
- Really? - Yeah, yeah.
Maybe that could be Molly's next trick.
(Lyndy chuckles)
- OK, I, uh, I gotta go
let Tanner down easy about his island ranch.
- OK. - Mind if I stop by later?
- Of course not. - OK.
- See you. - See you, kid.
- Now, are you OK?
- Yeah. Can I see more of Grandma's drawings?
- Yeah!
Let's see. Maybe...
this one should be about the time
that Gracie was a teenager.
Look at this drawing. (Amy chuckles)
Hey... Grandma really did know Nathan's sister.
(Amy chuckles)
- What's it say?
(foreboding music)
- Yeah-- - Katie, wait!
- We already finished. - I'm so sorry. I...
- I'll load Dodger.
- Look, I get it. You're upset with me.
But this Shim guy has really gotten into Dex's head, OK?
He's the one that messed up his eye.
OK? and Dex just texted me
that Shim went to Heartland, and he...
he punched him out.
OK? And now, Jack is turfing him.
Can you please just... - No!
No, I'm not going to bat for Dex.
- Why not?
- River, you're a really great friend, and I would do
anything for you...
but Dex is bad news.
This is probably for the best,
especially for you.
- So this is you looking out for me?
- Yeah. I know it's hard to hear--
- Yeah, you're being super judgy, just like you were
with me and the Wilds before you got to know us.
- No, I'm just trying to warn you.
- No, I know who Dex is!
OK? He is a great guy.
And if you were really my friend,
you would be happy for me.
(melancholy music)
- Hi.
I'm ready to try again.
- Did you ever have any training incidents with Bigby?
- Incidents?
- Just something that may have caused him to be the way he is?
- What are you saying, Amy?
- Some horses become head shy because their owners are
a bit... rough with them.
- Wow.
Just going there out of the blue?
- Well, my mom, she kept journals,
and... she wrote something in there about you.
- Appropriately sanctimonious, I'm sure.
- You seriously crossed a line.
- I made one mistake.
- You whipped a horse because it wouldn't respond
to your cues?!
(scoffs)
- Did she write about...
how she warned everyone off me?
Ruined any chance I had of being a trainer?
Did she write that?
(tense music)
(scoffs)
(gate clanks)
- (Nathan) Wow, Tanner, that really is breathtaking.
- I told you. (Nathan chuckles)
Well, you certainly won't have a problem finding a buyer.
It just, uh, it just won't be me.
I'm pretty happy with what I'm building here.
- Hey, you've done a great job with your family business.
- Thanks.
But I'm also talking about Amy.
- That tracks.
You couldn't stop talking about her on the drive.
(Nathan chuckles)
- Well, what can I say? She's pretty great.
- Sounds like it. - Yeah.
- You know, my wife, she's a horse whisperer, too.
- Oh.
I don't think Amy would call herself that.
- But that would be the toughest part about the move,
pulling her away from her horses.
She runs a rehab centre.
- Well, that's... that's cool.
- Hey... Amy,
she could take it over,
it would be perfect for the both of you.
(Nathan laughs)
What do you think?
- I think you should have been in sales.
- Hey, come on, let's go. What are you doing?
I wanna get to the dude ranch for the family cookout.
- I am so sorry. I completely forgot.
Can I just meet you guys there later?
- Uh, OK.
You're gonna let Georgie's visit just slip by,
and you're gonna regret it.
- We lost another 10 cows, OK?
So Garland and Crown Shoppers are gonna be breathing
down my neck if I can't figure out how to...
stay on some kind of delivery schedule.
- I get how hard this is.
And I'm sorry. OK? Um...
How can I help? - Don't make me feel guilty!
You think this is what I want to be doing?
(Lou sighs) I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you.
- It's OK. - I am not myself.
You go, have fun with the girls.
Once I, um, finish this, I'll...
I'll be more present. - OK.
Take your time. - OK.
- All right.
(front door opens and shuts)
(sighs heavily)
- Whoa.
I'm back for my horse.
- I know you're upset, but you should know
that my mom wouldn't have said anything to anyone.
Not even my grandpa knew, which proves she kept it to herself.
- Yeah, well, I didn't stick around to find out
one way or the other.
- My mom regretted how things were left off.
She...
She felt like she failed you.
- I was young.
I was a kid.
I let her down, OK?
I swear it never happened again, and not with Bigby.
I'm really trying to do everything right.
- Maybe you're trying too hard.
Bigby's picking up on your frustration.
Will you let me try one more thing?
- OK.
(neighing)
- Hey...
Mom's going to make up for missing this, you know?
- (Katie) Oh, uh, it--it's not that.
I got in a really big fight with my friend River today.
- Oh, no. Why? What happened?
- I... may have given some bad advice.
- No, you were right.
I had to tell her my concerns about Dex.
But I might have had some selfish reasons as well.
Like maybe I am jealous
that Dex is taking River away from me.
But I really offended her, and...
now I might have lost a friend.
(Georgie sniffles) Hey.
Hey, I told you, it's not your fault.
(Georgie sighs) - No, it's not. Um...
It's not that.
Dad, you were right.
The breakup with Quinn's been really rough.
I just feel so guilty.
I knew it was petering out, and I didn't say anything.
Like, not for a while.
He was so blindsided.
- I'm sorry, sweetheart.
- He's just so mad at me.
And... I didn't want it to end like this.
I wanted to stay in each other's lives.
But...
it just feels like I lost my best friend.
- Come here. Come here.
Hey, hey, hey. (Georgie sniffles)
(Georgie sighs)
- All right. You want to try?
Do small circles.
Gentle. (Bigby neighs)
(neighs softly) There you go.
Nice and gentle. (Bigby snorts)
OK, now work your hands up his neck.
(gentle music)
I want you to press. (Bigby snorts softly)
- Press? - Just trust me.
OK.
Press hard. Down.
(gentle music)
There you go. (Gracie chuckles)
He'll push away from the pressure.
That's it.
(Gracie laughs)
Good boy.
(Gracie cries)
(Gracie laughs and kisses)
You want to try?
- Yeah.
OK. - That's good.
Good boy. - Good boy.
(Gracie cries)
(Amy sighs)
You really are like your mom.
Thank you.
(gentle music)
(mooing)
(vehicle driving slowly)
(tense music)
(rifle cocks)
(vehicle door shuts)
- Hold it right there.
- Grandpa? Put that down! (Jack sighs heavily)
- Lou, I'm sorry.
I didn't know it was you.
- What are you doing here? - Well, what are you doing here?
You're supposed to be at a cookout!
- Oh, so you thought you could sneak out here
and wait for the rustlers!
Classic grandpa.
- Well, I'm not the only one here!
- I was trying to figure out a new delivery plan.
And we can't afford to lose any more,
so I just came to check on them.
- Peter and Georgie are here!
You should be focusing on your family!
- Argh! Everything I do is for my family, Grandpa!
Everything!
We need to figure out a way out of this.
And to you, that means standing in a field with your rifle.
But to me, that means figuring out how to deal
with everything we've lost
without going bankrupt!
So I'm sorry if I can't
be there for my family while simultaneously
doing everything I need to do to protect them!
(Lou sighs)
- Oh.
We have a lot in common, you and I.
- (Peter) Well, Georgie, um, thank you for opening up.
- Please, no more Dr. Relationship Advice.
- OK, how about some just good old-fashioned dad advice?
- No psycho babble buzzwords?
- Oh, my gosh! No.
I promise.
I think that Quinn has just lost
something really special, and he's upset about it.
Relationships are complicated.
Breakups are messy.
- Yeah, apparently.
- Well, you didn't do anything wrong.
And he might just need some time to... realize that.
- He won't even return my calls.
- You sound exactly like your mother.
- What? - No, I mean that
in the best possible way.
Like, you just want to fix everything
and just move forward, which is--which is great.
But it sounds like he's in a different place right now,
and... he may need some space.
And you should probably give it to him.
Your best friend is hurting.
- OK, that was pretty good.
- My turn.
How do I get my best friend back?
- Oh, you want...
Wow, the doctor's in demand here.
- OK... - No, I'm just saying.
No, no, no. OK, OK. I'll dial it back.
I just...
Honestly, I think the advice I'm gonna give you,
you may not like.
Um...
If you want to win River back,
you're probably going to have to do something
you don't want to do.
- I'll do anything. What is it?
- Give Dex a chance.
(insects chirring)
- Sounds like you and my sis made friends today.
(Amy chuckles) - I wouldn't go that far.
- Hmm.
- But she did surprise me.
I didn't expect tears.
- Hmm. Yeah, that kind of shocks me, too.
- So, how is Tanner?
- Oh, well, you'll be happy to learn
that, uh... he didn't sway me
with his Salt Spring Island pitch.
Although they do have a rescue horse centre, and...
so it would have been pretty good for you, too.
- You would want me to come with you?
- Well, we know that Lyndy is all about the island life, so...
- Yeah.
- Mommy? - Yeah?
- I can't sleep.
- Um... OK.
I'll read you one more chapter.
- Thank you. - OK.
(Amy sighs) - Hmm.
I'll let you get her settled. - OK.
(kisses) - Trail ride in the morning?
- I would love that.
Good having you home, cowboy.
- It's good to be home.
- (Lyndy) Are you coming?
- Yes, I'm coming.
(Amy laughs)
Go on. Get out of here.
(pensive music)
(mooing)
- It's getting pretty cold. (Lou sniffs)
We can't just stay out here all night.
- Well, I suppose you're right.
I'll see you at home.
- OK.
(clanking and creaking)
What is that?
- My hearing might not be what it was,
but that's a cattle trailer.
- Well, where is it coming from?
(clanking)
There's a spot right down this fence line
where you could load cattle if you had to.
- Especially if you were trying to hide from cameras.
- Wait here.
Wait here.
(sighs)
(engine idling)
- Hands where I can see 'em!
Do I know you?
(thud) (Jack groans)
- Let's go!
(vehicle doors shut)
- (softly) Grandpa?
Grandpa!
Oh, my God! Hey! (Jack groans)
Grandpa, are you OK? - Yeah.
I'm OK.
We've got to follow 'em. - No, no, no, Grandpa!
They're gone.
(Jack groans) Hey, hey, they're gone.
Hey.
(tense music)
- Come on.
- Folks, I completely understand how you're feeling.
We take this as seriously as you do.
- Hey. - Hey. What's going on here?
- Oh, the rustlers were back last night.
- I got their license plate this time.
- Oh, OK. Well, are you-- are you able to trace it?
- We have the name and address of the vehicle owner.
- So who is it?
- You know, I can't share that information, Jack.
(cell phone rings)
- I have to take this.
Hey, Lise.
- So what's next, Constable?
- I'm heading to the suspect's place
with a search warrant right now. - Perfect.
- (dispatcher) Calling all units, we have a 10-50
on Foothills Pass at Crow's Nest Junction.
Critical injuries.
- Constable Jones, copy. On my way.
- Constable, what about the rustlers?
- Sorry, emergency, but I'll get there next.
ASAP. - It's just they could get rid
of the cattle. - Lou, hey.
(front door shuts) - What's going on?
- The police just got called to another emergency, and,
uh, now we have to wait for them to deal with that first.
- Yeah, no, we don't.
That was Lisa.
You know the private investigator
she hired to find her sister?
Well... turns out she can run plates, too.
Get this.
It was Wes Kellstrom.
- Wes? - I knew I recognized that mug.
- Who's--who's Wes?
- Um, he--he stole Spartan and tried to burn down our barn.
- I'm sorry, what? - It was a long time ago,
but he held quite a grudge against us.
- Yeah, well, apparently, he still does.
- So the Kellstrom place is just west of Poplar Bluff.
- (Nathan) Yeah, I'm coming. - Wait, no!
No, you guys are not going anywhere!
This guy is a dangerous criminal.
You're not going! - Amy's right.
Let's all calm down here and not do anything crazy.
- Wait, wait, wait. They could still have our cattle.
- Yeah, what's more important,
getting your cattle back or staying alive?
The police are on their way.
Let's let them do their thing, right?
- Fine.
- I...
- We still have to get that fencing back up.
- Yeah. Back to work.
(tense music)
- Uh, yeah. I should check on my herd.
- Hey, call me, please. - Yeah, I will.
(front door opens and shuts)
(knocking on wall) (rooster crowing)
- I can see you're there.
- (Dex) You got what you wanted.
- What are you talking about?
(Dex sighs)
- River told me what you said to her.
Did you turn Jack against me, too?
- You took care of that.
You got in a fight in front of Lyndy.
- The guy wouldn't leave me alone.
What was I supposed to do?
- How about not punching him? - He ruined my career.
Then, he shows up here and messes everything up
for me all over again. - Listen to yourself, Dex.
You threw all of this away
because you couldn't control yourself.
Shim isn't the villain in your story. You are.
- This isn't a writer's group session.
- I can't believe I came here to apologize.
You are impossible. You know what?
Have a nice life.
- Oh, my...
(sentimental music)
- Hey, Quinn, um, I'm sorry.
You made it pretty clear that you need space right now,
and I haven't given you that.
I just... I don't want to lose you from my life.
I want to be friends.
But I know you...
I know you're not ready for that.
So I'm gonna let you...
tell me when you are, and...
if that never happens, I...
I'll have to live with that.
I love you, and I... I want the best for you.
I'm sorry.
Um...
Bye for now.
(phone beeps)
(poignant music)
(sighs)
(ominous music)
(sighs)
(phone line trilling)
- You've reached Lou Fleming. Sorry I missed you.
Leave a message. (phone beeps)
- Hey, Lou. Um, where are you?
Are you with Jack? Because I'm looking at
his rifle case and it's empty.
(dramatic music)
(neighing)
(whoosh)
- Well, this is it.
This is Wes Kellstrom's place.
(music crescendoes)
