17x06 - Heat of the Moment

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on Heartland…

I'm doing a working cow horse

competition out near Brayburn,

might worry about my odds

of winning

if you and Blue

were involved.

I might just throw

my hat in the ring.

I got some news about Dan.

He, uh, passed away.

I accept your offer

to go to the funeral with me,

if that's okay.

I need to be here for her.

Go to Brayburn this weekend

and ride Blue for me.

You're gonna understand me

the same way

you understand Grandpa.

(Jack): You got it, Amy!

You got it!

- I'm Brandon, AKA Top g*n.

- We got a new rider?

- Looks like she's scared.

- Okay, what's your plan?

I wanna work on it

when no one will see me.

You're gonna need someone that

knows something about bikes.

If something's right,

then you know it in your gut.

- Love that girl.

- You know it's worth it.

Even though, deep down,

you know it isn't?

Sometimes, things take effort.

- You made it.

- Hey, guys.

Sweet wheels, Katie.

Looking good.

Seriously?

Maybe if it was 1982.

You did a great job

cleaning it up. Come on.

Let's see what it can do.

(engines rumbling)

(rock music)

- Hey, Caleb. What's up?

- Hi!

Well, I had to come

wish you good luck.

Glad I caught you

before you hit the road.

- Are you excited?

- Sort of.

- Sort of?

- Yeah.

I mean, I'm excited

that Blue gets to show off

a little, but it's just—

it's not my world.

I don't know

any of these people,

and I'm gonna miss Lyndy.

I get that. The road can be

a bit of a lonely place,

but it's just a few days.

Yeah, okay.

I have something for you.

- For me?

- Mmhm!

Anticipation's k*lling me!

Yeah, yeah.

(Amy laughs)

It's no big deal,

but I had this made for Carson.

What? No, this is

a huge deal. Amy, wow.

This is so thoughtful.

I know what it's like

to get your first horse.

Okay, I should

probably get going.

Um, I don't have

Carson this weekend…

Or much of anything

else planned.

Text, call if you get bored?

I might just do that.

- See you.

- See you.

(soft music)

(rock music)

(tense music)

(tire pops)

(engine stops)

Oh, man.

(approaching vehicle)

(engine stops)

(car door shuts)

Need a hand, neighbour?

(intriguing music)

So what are you doing out in

this neck of the woods anyway?

Headed to the same

place as you.

My grandpa can't make it

to Brayburn,

so I'm taking

his place with Blue.

Oh, no…

- What?

- I'm missing the…

The key thingy for the lug nuts.

I must've left it out

when I rotated the tires.

Don't sweat it.

I'll give you a lift.

Worry about it

after the competition.

Come on, let's load

your horse into my trailer.

(pensive music)

So how's it coming along?

Oh, all right.

I'm still kind of surprised

that Dan's family

asked me to speak.

Don't you think

it's a little bit weird?

Oh, I don't think so.

There's a lot of memories

you could share.

Mm… no one wants to hear

about our epic arguments,

that's for sure.

No, I guess not.

What are you gonna go with?

Well, I was thinking

about the first time

that we went skiing together

and how he convinced me

to go off the trail…

And we, of course, got lost,

and it started getting dark.

- Oh, it sounds scary.

- Yeah!

Especially for him

because I wanted to tear

his smug little head off.

You should've seen

his look of relief

when the rescue patrol showed up

and saved him from me.

Okay, so you are gonna go

with story that ends

- in an epic argument.

- No! I mean, no.

It's a story

about how he was adventurous

and, um, he was kind of fun.

Freezing to death on the back

side of a mountain, that's fun?

You know what I mean.

I… I…

I think about it

as being carefree.

And… I don't know,

we're so caught up

in our businesses

and supporting the family

and we don't got a lot of time

for adventure these days.

I don't know, Lise.

You know, every day with you is

an adventure in itself.

Aw.

(both chuckling)

(inhales sharply)

(light music)

So you, um, left Hudson

way back in high school?

- Yeah.

- Why'd you move?

- Oh, that's ancient history.

- Okay.

You're glad to be back?

It's all right.

Maybe not for my dad

and Grandpa.

- That's just business.

- Seems pretty personal to me.

Well… business

can get that way.

You, uh, going to that

reception tonight at the arena?

You know, I think I might.

Good chance to check out

the competition.

- You?

- I don't think so.

Word on the street is there's

gonna be beef on a bun.

- We're the sponsor.

- Oh.

I think I'd rather

just grab a sandwich

at the gas station or something.

(chuckles)

(both laugh)

(sighs)

(buzzing)

- Hey, Caleb.

- hey!

- Did you make it safe and sound?

- Barely.

I blew a tire and just about

ended up in a ditch.

- Oh, no!

- Yeah!

And I left

the wheel lock key in the barn,

so I couldn't even change

the tire.

Wait, how'd you get

to Brayburn?

- Nathan Pryce.

- Nathan Pryce, the enemy?

Oh, yeah.

It was a real fun trip.

Well, at least you made it.

Yeah. Lucky me.

Now, I'm in a hotel room

with a TV set

that doesn't even work.

Well, they usually kick

these things off

- with some kind of party.

- Why would I go to that?

It's not my thing,

and I'm by myself.

No, I get it.

I've been to my fair share

of rodeo functions,

and sometimes hanging out

with a group

of strangers is lonelier

than just being on your own.

But who knows?

Maybe you'll have some fun.

Yeah, I guess it would take my

mind off missing Lyndy so much.

Exactly.

(sighs)

Okay. I'll go

for, like, an hour.

Atta girl. And I'll talk

to you later, okay?

Okay. See you.

(soft music)

- Hey, want some help?

- Oh, yeah, sure.

- Do you wanna start a salad?

- Sure.

Sure is quiet

with Mom away at Dad's.

Yeah, almost too quiet,

especially with you

out and about all day.

Uh, I was hanging out

with friends.

Oh. Would one of those friends

happen to be

that boy you met

at the community dance?

- Yeah, Brandon.

- Ah.

And this girl, Ellie,

who I think might be

his girlfriend.

Oh. Are you sure?

No, but she does

kind of hate me.

Honey, that can't be true.

I don't know,

I'm not even sure I should be

hanging out with them.

Well, it sounds

a little tricky,

but may I ask how you feel

about Brandon?

Interested at all?

I mean, I'm still

getting to know him,

but if he has a girlfriend,

I'm totally not going there.

Smart girl.

(sighs)

You know, honestly,

since Parker kind of drifted

out of my life, I’m…

I'm more excited at the chance

to make some new friends.

Sure, yeah. So maybe just put

a little effort

into winning this Ellie over,

let her know

that you're not a thr*at,

and the temperature

will go down on it.

- Yeah. Thanks.

- Mmhm.

to get over you? ♪

Hi, um, just a water, please.

Thank you.

Change your mind about

checkin' out the competition?

Heh. Oh, is that

what you were doing over there?

(women laughing)

Looks like you should probably

get back to discussing

your cow work strategy.

(woman 1): Nathan, come back!

- Hi!

- (woman 2): Hello, Nathan!

(sighs)

(gasps)

- I'm so sorry!

- No, it was my fault. I…

- I…

- You okay, Amy?

- Here.

- Thank you.

(Amy sighs)

I'll see you tomorrow.

(women laughing)

(sighs)

- Ah! What?

- Oh, hey! Hey!

Caleb! What are you

doing here?

I thought you might like

some company at this thing.

(Amy sighs)

- Did you get into a fight?

- I took a shower in red wine.

Do you wanna give me a lift

back to the motel?

Yeah, of course.

I mean, you should probably

definitely change

before we go back in there.

Oh, no. I'm done

with this place.

- Let's grab a pizza or something.

- Yeah, you got it.

Just let me

get changed real quick.

- Oh, no.

- What?

I think I left

the keys inside.

What's with you

and keys today?

I know! I'll just—

I'll go to the office.

No, no, no. It's okay, look.

The window's a cr*ck open.

I think I can probably

slide in through there.

(grunts)

It's a bit jammed.

Caleb, I can just go

to the office.

- No. I got this. Don't worry.

- All right.

Can you reach the doorknob?

- Almost!

- Okay, here.

(Caleb groaning)

(Amy grunts)

Oh! Oh! Agh!

- Oh!

- Oh…

(both laugh)

Ow!

- Loop-de-loop, shorty!

- Okay, but really,

- what were you thinking?

- I don't know!

(Amy laughs)

You know, I was thinking

that I didn't want you to have

to go all the way downstairs.

Mm, so instead, you almost

break the window and your neck.

- Yeah.

- Mmhm.

Hey, but between that

and figuring out the whole

remote control thing, I kind of

saved the day, you know, twice.

Yeah. And they say there's not

enough heroes in the world.

(both laugh)

Honestly, though,

I am glad you came.

And even though my shirt

is probably ruined,

it gave us an excuse

to get out of there.

Yeah, I'm just fine

staying in too.

Back in the day, I used to love

to party on the circuit.

But now, I definitely prefer

a one-on-one

with someone I actually

like hanging out with.

Well, I appreciate it,

but you didn't have to drive

all the way here

just to keep me company.

- It was nothing.

- No, it was sweet.

Caleb… you are

one of the most important people

in my life, and I don't know

what I would do without you.

So thank you.

(Amy sighs)

Caleb, I…

I didn't…

I didn't mean it like that.

I'm sorry.

No…

(knocking on door)

(both sigh)

(Caleb sighs)

- Hi.

- Hi.

Just checkin' to see

if you're okay.

- Oh, hey.

- Hi.

Um… ahem.

Sorry, I didn't realize

you had company.

- I'll, uh, see you tomorrow.

- Yeah.

(receding footsteps)

Um, I should probably

get going too.

Uh… yeah.

Um, drive safe?

You too.

I mean… have a good night.

Mmhm. You too.

(emotional music)

(eagle calls)

(pensive music)

Don't you two look nice!

Oh, thanks. I have to admit,

I'm a little bit nervous.

- Oh, you're gonna do great.

- Of course, you will.

You'll be all right

on your own today?

Yeah, for sure. Probably just

do some writing or something.

- Have a little fun.

- Thanks.

Okay, honey.

We'll see you later.

Bye.

(door shuts)

Hey, Brandon, uh,

I can meet you guys

on the trail in a half hour?

Okay.

(playful music)

Whoa, boy.

- Whoa!

- Oh! I'm so sorry.

- I—

- Amy.

Hey.

Sorry about last night.

- I, uh, didn't mean to intrude.

- No, it's fine.

Good luck out there today.

You too.

I think it's ruined.

Um, the shirt.

You came to check on me,

so I thought

I would fill you in.

(chuckles)

(ambivalent music)

(host): Next up,

we have the veteran team

of Nathan Pryce

and his horse, Montana.

These two have done well

in the working cow horse

competition in the past.

Let's see if they can

keep the bar up

to that same level today.

(cheering)

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa.

(cheering)

(upbeat music)

(cheering)

(host): Put your hands

together for Nathan and Montana!

Now, remember,

ladies and gentlemen,

the horse and rider

are being scored out of 80,

70 being considered average,

and the score for Nathan?

75! Nice job, nice job, team.

Next up, couple of first-time

competitors from Hudson.

Give a warm welcome

to True Blue Skies

ridden by Amy Fleming,

owned by Jack Bartlett.

(cheering)

(tense music)

Easy.

Hold up.

Oof.

(crowd groans)

(host): Easy now.

Gotta stay in control.

(Amy sighs)

(Blue nickers)

That ended up more like

a bronc drive, didn't it?

But some love for Amy and Blue,

would you please?

They just got

their first session

under their belts.

Our judges have weighed in.

The score?

65. Chin up.

It'll only get better from here.

(soft music)

(rock music)

Whoa.

This could be

a really awesome jump.

You mean, like,

over the water?

(exhales heavily)

Yeah. Wouldn't that be cool?

- Not if you don't clear it.

- You can totally do it.

- You think so?

- Yeah, if you hit it right.

Yeah, I guess.

Carpe diem, Katie.

(tense music)

- I'm gonna do it.

- Yes, let's go!

- Come on, Brandon.

- You've got this.

Oh-ho! Yes!

(Ellie laughs)

Oh, my gosh. Heh.

(laughs)

(exhales heavily)

That was freakin' awesome!

You guys gotta try it.

Who's up next?

Uh, you go ahead, Ellie.

I know you can clear it,

no problem.

Thanks, but I think

you're too scared to try it.

No, it's just… well, you're

a much better rider than I am.

- So…

- Yup, she's scared.

- Ellie, leave her alone.

- No, it's okay.

She's right. I mean, dirt biking

is about taking chances,

just going for it.

I'll just go as fast

as I can, right?

Yeah.

Just lift up with your whole

body as you hit the edge.

Okay.

(suspenseful music)

(sighs)

Come on, Katie. You can do this.

No fear. No fear.

Come on, Katie! Carpe diem!

(Ellie laughs)

Okay, I knew she was scared,

but that was pathetic.

Ellie, that's enough.

Okay? You okay?

(crow cawing)

(Lisa sighs)

You okay?

Yeah. It was a lot.

Well, you did great.

You had people in stitches,

and then tears.

Thank you.

I'm relieved it's over.

(voice breaking):

It was pretty sad.

It's another reminder

that life's a ride

and you never know

when your turn's up.

Mmhm. Do you think

we're living our best lives?

I know that my life's

never been better

since you came into it.

That doesn't really answer

my question. Okay.

What are we gonna do for lunch?

Oh, I think there's

some leftover casserole

in the fridge.

No, no. We're dressed up.

Let's go do something.

You know, there's a new pub in

town that's supposed to be cool.

It's the middle of the day.

So? Let's live a little.

All right.

(soft music)

(phone buzzing)

Guess it's true what they say.

- Bad luck comes in threes.

- Sorry?

The flat tire,

the, heh, wine gate,

then you lay an egg

in the reining event.

Nice.

Just calling it like I see it.

Yeah, except I wasn't asking.

Think you can pull it together

for the cow work?

Are you trying

to psych me out?

No, you're doing a good enough

job of that all on your own.

Your mind's obviously somewhere

else, and Blue can sense that.

- Can I offer you some advice?

- Oh, good. Cowboy psychologist?

No, I've just done this a lot,

so I know what I'm doing.

When your cow gets turned out,

you have to gauge

his energy right away.

- If he's wild, run him a little.

- I thought I was

supposed to box him in

before I take him down the rail.

I'm talking quick turns,

back and forth, back and forth.

Tire 'em out so they're easier

to control the rest of the way.

Okay.

Should I trust you?

You don't have to do anything.

I'm just trying

to help change your luck.

(intriguing music)

(upbeat country music

playing over speakers)

- Oh, I love this song.

- Well, me too.

It's an oldie but a goodie.

(Jack chuckles)

Let's dance.

Now?

Dance floor is right there.

There's nobody on it.

Well, we will change that.

Put our dance lessons

to good use.

- Lisa.

- This is what I'm talking about

'cause life can be short.

All-around cowboy,

Ponoka Stampede, 1967.

That's the first time

I won there.

Well, what is it doing here?

Oh, I sold it.

ever since.

a buckle that I won.

It's in that case over there.

- No kidding. Oh.

- Yeah.

- Ponoka stampede, 1967.

- That's so cool.

Now, I found that

at an antique store last year.

Yeah. Well, here's the thing.

I'm hoping

you'll sell it back to me,

fair market value.

That buckles worth,

like, 500…

Don't stress

It's just too fun, you know?

A buckle from Ponoka,

can't get any kitschier

- I've won a few tournaments.

Oh. Care to make a wager?

- (chuckles)

- Lisa, what are you doing?

If you b*at my husband,

then we'll give you $500,

but if Jack wins, then we get

to take the buckle home.

Okay, this is a bad idea.

What's the worst

We lose $500!

take off like that?

I was just done

- Are you home by yourself?

- Uh, yeah.

- Everyone's out.

- Well, you gonna invite us in?

Well, I didn't ask

if I could have anyone over.

Seriously?

This is your house too.

Come on, we should have

(host): And there they go!

They're gonna need to turn that

cow back without using the rail.

(cheering)

Come on, buddy!

- Yeah! Come on!

- (host): Good job!

Now, the last thing is

to get that cow

into the middle of the arena,

turn her back

in both directions.

Go! Come on!

(Nathan clicking his tongue)

Atta boy! Come on, come on!

Yeah, yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah!

You can see

Nathan and Montana have

obviously done this before,

and their score is…

Wow, 75 points!

Impressive!

(cheering)

And here's Amy and Blue

once again.

Good boy, Blue. You got this.

(Amy pats Blue)

(moos)

Hup!

(whistles)

(host): See what Amy

is doing there?

She's running that cow

back and forth just

to tire him out a little bit.

Get up! Get up!

(whistles)

Come on!

(Amy clicking her tongue)

(moos)

Come on!

(cheering)

(host): Well, this is

a much better start

to this day

than we saw in reining!

Hup, hup, hup, hup!

(host): Now, it's

all about the finish.

Can they keep it together

this time?

Hup, hup!

(hissing)

(host): Look at this, folks!

What a comeback for these two!

(mooing)

(cheering)

Let's see what our judges think

of that run.

Apparently, they liked it!

Amy and Blue have a 76!

That puts them in first place

in the cow work division!

(cheering and applause)

(Amy laughs)

- 76.76! Can you believe it?

- Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Just don't forget

whose advice made that happen.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Isn't that right, Molly?

- Huh?

- You know, when we first met,

and you were talking

about Molly, I just totally

assumed that she was

your wife or girlfriend.

Nope, don't have

either of those.

Obviously.

(Amy laughs)

It's just the way you were

flirting with those girls

- at the reception.

- Flirting?

Mmhm.

(Amy laughs)

- Uh-huh.

- Yeah, no, I get it.

I mean, I'm not judging.

I can see how the playboy life

would be appealing.

Not even close.

For one thing,

playboys have money.

- That sure ain't me.

- Yeah, right.

The amount of money

that you're putting

into your marketing campaign,

come on, now.

Well, yeah, and it might

just bankrupt us,

but we need to get ourselves

out there if we want to compete.

Yeah, with my dad and Grandpa.

No, actually,

with the factory farms.

I feel—I feel like…

Family-run ranches

are in this together.

Doing things the right way,

even though it costs a lot more.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean

to jump to conclusions.

Nah, don't worry about it.

I kind of assumed I'd kick

your butt in the cow work, so.

Even Steven, I guess.

(Nathan chuckles)

- Love the place, Katie.

- Thanks.

(Katie laughs)

Here you go.

- Great job, El.

- Yeah!

Perfect hot dog

to mac' and cheese ratio.

Seems like we could use

something for this lunch, though.

Something to wash it down with?

We have

some lemonade or ice tea.

We have this place

all to ourselves.

We could use

something a little stronger.

Like maybe some of this.

- Uh…

- Just a taster.

- No one's gonna notice.

- I don't think that's

- a good idea.

- Come on, Katie.

You have to stop

living your life in fear.

Okay, I said no.

Put it back, now.

I am done doing stupid things

to impress you guys.

- Katie—

- No, don't even start

with that "carpe diem" BS.

I'm not a daredevil,

and I'm not a risk taker.

I'm okay with that.

Sorry you're not.

I think you both should leave.

(tense music)

See? I told you.

She's totally lame.

(sighs)

(light country music)

Looks like your truck is

where we left it.

- Is that…

- Caleb.

Guess your boyfriend's trying

to score some brownie points

for whatever he did last night.

What? He's the one

who got you off your game

earlier today, isn't he?

He didn't do anything.

And he's not my boyfriend.

All right.

I'll get your horse.

- Hey.

(birds chirping)

(Molly barks)

I had some extra time,

figured that this was

the least I could do.

You know, Caleb,

you really didn't have to.

Well, I didn't come

all the way out here

just to change your tire,

I was hoping we might meet

in person since you keep

ignoring my phone calls.

I've just been processing.

I didn't quite know what to say.

Well, that's why I've been

trying to get through to you.

Amy, there really isn't

anything that needs to be said.

I made a mistake, okay?

I got carried away

in the moment, and I promise

that nothing like this

will ever happen again.

- Okay, but…

- No, just, really,

you don't need to say

anything else.

- Drive safe, okay?

- You too.

(soft music)

(sighs)

(fast-paced country music)

Nice break, Lise!

(singer vocalizing)

- Eh.

- Eight ball, side pocket.

(Jack gasps)

Lisa, you did it!

(Jack laughs)

- I've been totally hustled.

- No, you haven't.

Maybe you assumed that you could

b*at me because I'm a woman

or I'm a little bit

older than you—

Can you please just take

your buckle and leave.

Okay.

(Lisa chuckles)

Well, where in the name

of Minnesota Fats

did you learn

to sh**t pool like that?

- You really wanna know?

- Yes!

- Dan taught me.

- Is that a fact.

Mmhm. Back when we first got

into thoroughbreds,

we needed a way

to blow off some steam

every time our horses lost.

Well, your horses

must've lost a lot!

Yeah, they sure did,

especially…

Back in the early days,

and we took our frustrations out

on that pool table.

You know, Dan and I,

we certainly had

our differences, but the fact

that he actually played a part

in gettin' this buckle back…

Kind of makes up for it all.

(Jack laughs)

(soft music)

(Jack and Lisa laughing)

- Hey!

- Silly. Hi!

How come you two

don't look like you just came

from a funeral!

Well, we actually had

quite the afternoon.

And I'll tell you all about it

as soon as I get out

of these banker's clothes.

(knocking on door)

(door opens)

(Lisa): Hello. Come on in.

There's someone here to see you.

(tense music)

I'm really sorry.

Ellie was just

totally out of line.

Then why didn't you

say anything?

Well, I've never had

a drink of whisky

or anything else.

I sort of have this image

that, you know, goes along

with the dirt biking

and carpe diem BS.

Yeah, well, that image isn't

why I like to hang out with you.

You're a nice guy.

Well, thanks.

You know… I don't care

if you don't want to be

a daredevil.

I think you're really cool

just the way you are.

Really?

Thanks.

Well, um, I should get going,

but I'll text you tomorrow.

Sure. Sounds good.

(soft music)

(approaching vehicle)

- Guess who's back!

- GG! Lisa!

- Hi!

- Welcome home, you two!

- How did it go?

- It went so good!

We had pizza, cake,

watched TV, and had a party

with glow sticks!

Wow! Did you get any sleep

at this sleepover?

- We didn't have time.

- Oh, I see.

So how about you and Blue?

I'm dying to hear

how you made out.

Well, we had a bit

of a rough start in the reining.

Oh, does that mean…

Mmhm, Nathan got

the best of us in that one.

But we made a comeback

and took him

in the cow work session.

- Ah-ha! Way to go, Blue!

- And Amy!

And Amy, of course!

Yeah, no, he was

absolutely amazing, Grandpa.

You two really need to try it

together next time.

Yeah, well.

(phone buzzing)

Can I go to bed now, Mommy?

(all giggling)

Yes, sweetheart, you can.

Lisa, do you mind making sure

she brushes her teeth?

- Oh, I certainly will.

- Thanks.

(Lisa giggling)

I'll be right back

to tuck you in.

(text message notification)

(birds chirping)

- Hey.

- Hey.

So look, um… I'm sorry, Amy.

Caleb, you already apologized

for last night.

No, this isn't for that,

this is for today.

Actually, it's for that apology.

(sighs)

I wasn't being real with you.

I lied. It wasn't just a moment.

The truth is that I have

developed feelings for you,

and… I hate myself for it.

I feel I've betrayed

my two best friends

in the whole world,

that's you and Ty.

- Caleb…

- No, Amy.

Look, I didn't sleep

a wink last night.

I feel so torn up.

You haven't betrayed anyone.

You've been going through

so much lately, and…

Maybe I'm partially to blame too

because… Caleb, I do love you.

Just not that way.

(softly): I know.

So, uh, where do we go

from here?

Can we just pretend

that last night never happened?

Your friendship is

so important to me.

And I'm not gonna let

one moment ruin that.

Thank you, Amy.

'Cause your friendship means

the world to me too.

So we're good?

Yeah, we're good.

I'm already over it.

(Amy chuckles)

So how did

your competition go?

Actually, it went pretty good.

Yeah, we ran

that calf down the rail.

Nice! You get him turned

in the centre all right?

Yeah!

(indistinct conversation)
