08x06 - Steal Away

[bunniefuu]

Amy: Previously on "Heartland"...

Ty: Scott couldn't guarantee I'd stay on, so I took that job at the reserve.

Are you okay?

Be exciting to start something new.

Bob: These poachers aren't just a bunch of yahoos sh**ting deer out of season.

Don't you want to stop this?

What I really want is to go home after work in one piece.

Jack: It's because you did such a good job taking care of this guy that Ty says he's healthy enough to go to a wolf sanctuary at all.

Jade: Guys, they brought a keg! Everybody grab a beer.

I know; I'm fired.

You are gonna clean up this place until it looks brand new! And then you're fired.

Poacher: If you keep sticking your nose where it don't belong, you're a dead man! (Ty grunts in pain)

(Hooves clop on rocks, water splashes lightly)

(Cell phone chimes)

Amy: Hey, Scott. Sure. Yeah, I can come have a look at him. Okay. I'll see you soon. Okay.

(Hooves clop on rocks, Amy clucks her tongue)

(Bird screeches in the distance)

(Birds chirp and cry)

Bob: Yeah, that pups in great shape. But don't worry. The sanctuary he's going to uses the soft-release method.

Georgie: What's that?

Bob: Oh, it's awesome. They'll take this little guy and put him in a huge fenced-off area, with a bunch of other wolves, so he can slowly acclimate back into the wild. You know, kinda... get back into the swing of things.

That's good, I guess.

Well, you bet it is. They got a ton of success stories.

Jack: Well, I think it's time to hit the road.

But Ty's not even here yet.

We've waited long enough.

Dr. Granger has a lot to do, and so do I.

Bob: Hey, you did a great job, kid.

It usually takes a whole wolf pack to care for a pup 'til he's weaned.

My gut says this fella's got a good sh*t at making it now.

Aw... bye, Fang.

Hmm. That's a great name. I've got a few scars myself.

Bob: It was nice meeting you.

Jack: You too, Bob.

Bob: See ya.

(Doors bang shut, engine starts)

(Truck rumbles away)

Jack: So you sure Ty said he was gonna meet us there?

Georgie: Positive. I called him back right before we left for the reserve.

Well, something must have come up.

Maybe he's mad at me because I got too close to Fang, and I... I made up all those lame excuses to get him to come to Heartland when he didn't want to.

Jack: Ty might be going through a tough time, Georgie, but he's not the least bit upset with you.

Guaranteed. (Cell phone rings)

Oh, see? I bet that's him right there.

(Phone beeps on) Hello?

Well, if it isn't Dr. Virani. How you been keeping?

No.

Yeah, of course, Tricia, I'll head over there right away.

Yeah. No problem. We'll see ya.

What's going on?

Jack: Well, it looks like we're gonna make a bit of a detour.

(Gearshift shifts, truck rumbles down road)

Oh. Well, I just thought Georgie would be home by now.

Ah... yeah, I was, I just-

I got... held up with something here.

Could you just tell her that um...

I'm sorry I didn't make it and that I'll talk to her soon?

Okay.

Thanks, Lou. Bye.

(Pea bag rustles, dishes clank)

(Ty exhales sharply)

(Groans softly)

(Truck engine rumbles in the distance)

(Truck engine idles loudly outside)

(Engine cuts out, trailer door opens)

(Door bangs shut, trailer door bangs shut)

Hey, Scott, what's up?

Just dropping off your final paycheque.

Ty: Oh, I was... I was gonna come by later and get it.

You didn't have to come all the way out here.

I didn't.

I'm taking this horse to Heartland.

Got it.

So, uh... things are okay?

Yeah. Couldn't be better.

You're looking a little rough.

Uh... I didn't get much sleep last night, so...

Yeah. Well, I gotta get going.

'kay, well, thanks for dropping this off.

No problem. (Truck door bangs shut)

Georgie: We're back!

Lou: Grandpa, I'm really glad you're home because I have a ton of errands to run.

Jack: Well, I'm hoping that you can hold up for a minute.

Come on.

Jade? Didn't I just fire you?

Yeah. Miss me?

♪ You dreamer...

Jack: Oh, Tricia called, she had to go out of town.

She asked if Jade could stay here for a few days.

I would've been totally fine living on my own.

Oh, right. Because you've proven yourself to be so responsible.

Is somebody gonna clue me in to what's going on here?

Georgie, can you please take Jade up to your room?

Georgie: What?! Jade: What?!

I don't wanna hear it. Especially not from you.

(Sighs) Fine, let's go.

Can I come, too, mama?

Georgie: Okay, Katie, come on.

Oh, uh, Georgie, Ty called.

He said that, um, he's sorry he missed you at the reserve, and he'll see you soon.

Georgie: Okay.

Jade: Ty? That's that hot vet, right?

Georgie: don't be gross!

The dude ranch was a total mess this morning!

Jade threw a huge party there last night.

Party at the dude ranch?

Yeah. There was a cancellation, so she knew it was empty.

You gonna tell Tricia about this?

I was planning on telling her about it today, in person.

Well, too late. She's off to Toronto to try to patch things up with her husband.

Fine. But if she stays here, she pulls her own weight.

And I swear to God, grandpa, if she steps one foot out of line again...

Okay, agreed. Just... go easy on her.

She might even be helpful.

I wouldn't bet on it.

(Truck rumbles)

(Trailer door clicks shut)

Good morning, Scott!

Hey! Morning, Amy.

Scott: This is Dash. Amy: Oh...

Scott: A client of mine just bought him.

Amy: What's his problem?

Scott: He's pretty skittish. Real struggle just to mount up.

I checked him over.

There doesn't seem to be any pain or soreness.

Amy: Okay. Well, let's get him tacked up and see what's going on.

Scott: 'kay.

Amy: All right, Dash.

Good boy, Dash. (Dash snorts nervously)

Hey... hey! Whoa...

Stand. Stand. (Dash snorts) Hey!

Stand.

Whoa.

Whoa... hey. (Pats Dash)

Well, he seems okay once you're on. It's just getting there.

(Dash snorts)

Scott: I'm sorry, Amy, I gotta run.

The clinic's been crazy busy these days.

Does that have something to do with Ty?

Yup. Kind of left me in the lurch.

Have you seen him lately?

Yeah, I was just at his place.

Amy: 'kay, well, I'll do my best with this guy.

Amy: No promises.

Scott: Thanks, Amy.

I know you'll figure him out. You always do.

(Dash snorts restlessly)

(Tinny sound of music through headphones)

(Laundry basket clunks)

Jade: Um... what's all this?

Lou: I am going out for a little while and you are gonna take care of some things for me while I'm gone.

What kind of things?

Lou: Folding the laundry, uh... cleaning up the living room, and I've just put Katie down for a nap, and you're gonna watch her for me.

Right, grandpa?

Jade: Uh... but-but the kid hardly even knows me.

What if she freaks out when she wakes up?

Why can't Georgie do it?

Jack: Georgie is working with Amy.

I'll be around to help out.

Okay, fine.

Katie is a light sleeper, so the less you check up on her, the better.

You can keep an eye on her with this.

Jade: Oh, cool! A nanny-cam.

So what's the going rate for babysitters in the boonies?

Well, I'm not sure it matters since you're helping out for free.

Jade: I was just kidding. Get a sense of humour already.

Lou: You know what? You two look like you're gonna have fun.

I will be back as soon as I can.

Bye. (Screen door creaks open)

All right. Well... I'm heading back to the barn.

Jade: Wait! I thought you said you'd be around?

The barn's just across the yard. You're a smart girl.

(Electronic device beeps, music starts playing)

You sure it was the poachers?

Well, they weren't exactly trying to hide it.

And they said they'd be back if I didn't stop asking questions.

They took their surveillance camera, too.

That sucks, buddy. No doubt about it.

I just don't know how they knew where I lived.

They knew my name, too.

We've gotta find these guys.

Well, the way I see it, you got off easy.

I'm not afraid of them.

You should be. I had a run-in with some poachers a while back and... (Chuckles)

Ty: Well, what happened? You take a few hits?

Bob: No, man. They handed me my butt on a platter.

I spent a couple days in the hospital.

And then they threatened to put me out of business if I didn't back off.

So I decided to start keeping a lower profile.

Ty: Wait a second. How so?

Bob: I report everything to Fish and Wildlife.

Let them put their necks on the line.

Better them than me, right?

So should I call them about last night?

Um, no, those guys know me. Let me handle it.

(Birds chirp and Twitter)

(Dash snorts, hooves plod)

(Amy clucks her tongue)

Amy: When a horse won't stand still, you have to give him a reason to stop.

(Amy clucks her tongue)

Good boy. (Whistles)

Georgie: So you're trying to tire him out?

Amy: Yeah. And keep him focused.

You know, he probably had a bad experience that stayed with him.

So he needs to get to know me as much as I need to get to know him.

Then he'll realize I'm not a thr*at.

Cool.

Cool? How's he doing?

Okay, I guess.

'kay, well, Lou called. She's running late.

I'm heading to Maggie's to pick up dinner.

Now, Katie should be up any time now, so... can you check in on her?

But I thought Jade was with her?

Gotcha. (Gate clanks)

Amy: Good boy.

Katie: (Humming)

Georgie: Katie?! Where's Jade?

Katie: I don't know.

(Yelling) Jade! Jade!

(Door opens) Jade: Yeah!

Where were you?

About to crush my personal best score!

Georgie: Okay, well, you can't just leave Katie alone like that!

Jade: Chill out, kid.

You can do more than one thing at once.

It's called multi-tasking. Ever heard of it?

The nanny-cam was helping me babysit.

See? I got it covered.

Georgie: Okay. Whatever.

Here. Come on, Katie. We're gonna go have a snack.

(Blocks clatter)

This place is a disaster! Look at all this laundry.

Jade: Yeah, Lou told me to fold it.

I just... I haven't got around to it yet.

Georgie: We have to clean this up before she gets home.

Lou is gonna lose it.

Jade: Yeah. Let me just finish this level.

I'm kinda on a roll here.

(Video game sound effects) Georgie: Jade.

(Annoyed sigh)

(Ty exhales sharply)

Bob: What's the skinny on these guys?

Ty: All spayed and neutered. Procedures went well.

Bob: Cool. Ty: I think they're ready to go.

I guess you oughta be the one to set 'em free.

See them go forth and not multiply.

(Laughs) That's the idea anyway.

Why don't you just take 'em out beyond the perimeter fence tomorrow?

Ty: You bet.

Bob: All right.

Bob: Well, I'm off.

Ty: Okay.

Bob: Oh, hey. There's this um... little joint just down the road I always go to.

Thought I might stop off for a couple pops. You wanna come? My treat.

Uh... yeah, maybe.

Well, you've had a rough night.

I mean, might be just what you need.

Ty: Uh...

Bob: But hey, like, don't let me hold you back, if you got somewhere you gotta be.

No, no, I don't. I just got some stuff I gotta... I gotta finish up first, but I'll see you there later maybe.

All right, buddy. Don't stay too late.

(Birds chirp)

(Phone beeps)

(Gate clanks shut)

Jade: Dinner rocks. My mom never cooks.

Jack: Well, I can't take the credit. It's leftovers from Maggie's.

Lou: Have you heard from your mom?

Jade: Nah. She's too busy wasting her time in Toronto to care about me.

She's trying to give my dad space.

Bad idea. It totally backfired.

He got himself a stupid new girlfriend and moved on.

(Cutlery clinks)

Lou: Well, I have to admit.

I was pleasantly surprised by everything you did today.

(Kn*fe scrapes as it cuts)

Well, uh... Georgie pitched in, too.

Pitched in?

More like I did everything myself!

I babysat, I set the table, I picked up toys. I did laundry!

I was going to help, but you did it all so fast I didn't have a chance!

That's 'cause you were playing your stupid video game.

Lou: Okay, you know what? I knew this wasn't going to work.

Jade: Oh, come on!

Jack: All right, that's enough!

Jade, since you're not so interested in helping out around here, I've got something else you can do.

Well, she's not going near the dude ranch again.

Jack: As of tomorrow morning, Jade is going to be Heartland's new ranch hand.

No way! I don't even like horses!

Too bad. You bunk here, you pitch in.

Simple as that.

I am trying to focus on work right now.

The last thing I need is someone who clearly isn't into it.

Jack:: Well, you know, I remember it wasn't all that long ago you helped turn another reluctant recruit into a fairly decent ranch hand.

That was mostly you, and besides, it was different with Ty.

Jack: Well, in some ways it was, yes, but, in the important ways, it was the very same.

Lou: No. I'm-I'm with Amy.

That's two strikes, and I just-

I don't think this is a good idea.

I just think it could be just what Jade needs.

Amy: And what about what I need?

I'm gonna go do night check.

(Receding footsteps)

Georgie, you need to be part of this too.

Not sure how I can help.

Well, step up and you show Jade the ropes.

So I'd be... kind of like her boss?

Well, I guess that's one way to look at it.

(Rooster crows, phone chirps)

(Door creaks open, phone chirps)

(Phone chirps loudly)

Jade: Where's my stupid phone?!

(Sighs) You are evil.

Come on! You've hit snooze like a thousand times already.

I just need a couple more minutes.

Get up now, or else I'll be back with a bucket of ice cold water.

You wouldn't dare.

Come on! We have to go! Jack is waiting.

Jade: See, thing is, kid... I don't do mornings.

(Slams phone down) You know what? You do now.

So get up!

(Pillow thwacks Jade, Jade groans and grunts)

Jade: Hey! Hey! Stop it!

Georgie: Get up!

(Straw rustles, shovels scrape)

Ugh! How do you stand it?

I'd lose my mind if I had to do this everyday.

Georgie: I think it's fun.

(Jade sighs and sniffs the air)

Ugh! It's making my clothes reek.

And it's totally ruining my boots.

Jack: Guess you're getting the hang of it then.

Well, it's not exactly rocket science.

Jack: Uh, Georgie, why don't you go see if Amy needs some help with that new horse.

Georgie: (Relieved sigh) Gladly.

Jade: Well, that was fun.

Yeah, I'm uh... heading into town.

I expect you'll be done by the time I get back.

You're kidding, right?

I can't do anymore; My hand hurts.

I think I'm getting a blister.

I guess... you'll need these then, seeing as you still got a ways to go.

So I have to do all this on my own?

Well, that's the great thing about living on a ranch.

The fun just never ends.

(Dash pants and snorts, Amy clucks her tongue)

Good boy, Dash.

Okay, I think he's ready to give this another try.

(Clucks her tongue)

Good boy. Whoa... stand.

(Dash snorts nervously) Stand.

Hey. Hey. (Clucks her tongue)

(Dash snorts nervously)

Hey, hey, hey.

Whoa...

Stand. (Dash snorts)

(Snorting)

What's his deal?

He has a problem with standing still.

Jade: Well, aren't horses supposed to move? Isn't that the whole point?

Amy: Have you ever tried to get on a horse that won't stand still?

Hardly. I stay as far away from them as I can.

Amy: (Laughs) Well, a horse's natural instinct is to flee if it feels threatened or anxious.

Makes sense. Probably feels a lot safer than just sticking around to see what happens.

That's exactly what he's thinking.

For someone that doesn't like horses, you seem pretty interested.

Jade: Well, I guess I'd better go finish cleaning the stalls before Jack gets back.

Don't want him to have a meltdown.

(Birds chirp)

(Loud thunk, birds cry in the distance)

(Cage rustles the grass)

Ty: All right. Doors are open.

(Carrion birds crow in the distance)

(ATV rumbles)

(Engine cuts out)

(Carrion birds crow loudly)

Damn.

Amy: Good boy. You're okay.

(Dash snorts nervously) Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Georgie: Whoa. Relax. Ho, there.

Amy: Whoa... whoa...

Good boy.

He's doing it!

Amy: Good boy!

That's what we want. (Pats Dash)

Let's try that again. (Rooster crows in the distance)

Stand.

(Laughs) Good boy, Dash.

Georgie: (Laughs)

Amy: That's great!

All right. Well, I say we call it quits for today.

Georgie: All right. Jade and I will go untack him.

Amy: Jade doesn't seem too keen on horses, Georgie.

Georgie: She just needs to get used to being around them.

Amy: Well, don't push it, okay?

People have to come into it in their own time, and some just never do.

Georgie: That's why I'm gonna show her exactly what she's missing.

(Amy laughs, gate latch clanks)

(Flies buzz, grass rustles)

(Flies buzz loudly)

(Animal wails)

(Wailing)

(Growling)

(Bear cubs growl, bushes rustle)

Georgie: So once you're done loosening all the dust and dirt, then you can brush it out like this.

Jade: Why are you even showing me this?

Georgie: Because it's part of being a ranch hand.

Jade: Who cares? I didn't sign up for this!

I can't believe my mom's making me stay here.

Georgie: She's just worried about you.

Jade: Yeah, well, she should stop meddling.

You know, I can take care of myself.

Georgie: (Sighs) Look, I've had some people not care about me at all.

It's way better to have someone worry about you, trust me.

And since you're stuck here, you might as well take some time to bond with the horse.

Jade: I don't think so.

Jack probably has like a million more chores for me.

Actually, I already talked to him and he says it was okay.

(Dash snorts)

What is he doing? Make him stop!

(Laughs) It's nothing to freak out about.

I'm not freaking out.

It just means he likes you.

Hey? Good boy.

Wow. He really likes carrots.

Yeah. All right.

I'm gonna go grab copper and tack him up.

You can take Dash back to his stall.

I don't think so.

And you need to stop pushing all this horse stuff on me, okay?

It's bad enough I'm stuck raking up all their poo!

Georgie: Look, if you're gonna be a ranch hand, you got to learn to ride.

Ride? Ugh! Yeah, you're kidding, right?

Nope, and I'm gonna teach you.

Jack thinks it's a good idea, too.

So, if you have a problem with it, you can go talk to him.

(Dash nickers)

This is so not fair.

(Bridle jingles)

(Hooves clop, gate clanks open)

Come on. Come on.

(Nervously) Mm!

(Gate clanks shut, Jade sighs)

The bear was a sow.

Those cubs probably belonged to her.

Bob: That sucks.

The cubs have gotta be six or seven months old now, so at least they can survive on their own.

Ty: I think you're missing the point.

They've already k*lled two bears that we know of.

Fish and Wildlife is working on it. It just takes time.

It's hard for them to make headway without new info.

Bob, those orphaned cubs are on us.

Look, I get that you're upset, buddy. So am I.

Well, I'm not just gonna sit around and wait, okay? I'm gonna try and stop them.

Bob: Look, you just don't get it, do you? What if these are same poachers that I dealt with and now you're on their radar, which means so am I and my reserve. I mean... these guys are dangerous. What're they gonna do when push comes to shove? They're gonna come right after us!

This isn't just about bears, Ty! Got all these other animals to worry about. Why don't you do me a favour and take the day off tomorrow.

Ty: What're you talking about?

Bob: Take the day off and go and get your head straight around this. Grow up!

(Birds chirp and squawk)

(Gate creaks open)

Jade: This is gonna give me hat head.

Georgie: Okay, well, get over it. Beginners have to wear a helmet. Those are the rules.

Amy: Don't worry, Jade. We'll be right here. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Jade: I'm not! don't you get it? I just don't wanna do this.

(Grunting and panting)

Amy: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Dash! (Latch clanks) Whoa... Dash. Whoa, buddy. It's okay. Stand!

How did this happen?

Well, don't look at me. Jade was the one who put him in his stall!

How is this my fault?

You have to check that the stall door is latched.

I did!

Well, you obviously didn't check close enough.

This is a client's horse, Jade, and I'm responsible if anything happens to him!

I get it, okay? But I didn't do anything wrong!

Thanks for having my back.

(Receding footsteps, Dash snorts)

Yes, but the horse is fine.

Can't you cut her a little slack?

I just don't think that Jade is taking this ranch work seriously enough.

Lou: Well, she hardly ate anything. She's obviously upset.

Someone should talk to her.

(Sighs heavily) don't you look at me.

I already tried.

Besides, I'm not the one who thought that this was a good idea.

(Birds chirp outside)

She's got a lot on her mind.

She has a point.

I am the one who thought this might be a good idea.

Lou: That's true.

Jack: But...

I'm not giving up on her. Not just yet.

(Dogs bark in the distance, cat meows)

(Approaching footsteps)

Saw your truck outside. You're here pretty late.

Well, I am a bit short-staffed these days.

Look, Scott, the only reason I came by is 'cause I could use your help.

For real?

You leave me high and dry and now you want my help?

(Cage door rattles)

Okay. Forget it.

I was just wondering if you had any connections with Fish and Wildlife.

Why you wanna know?

Because I found two dead bears. Both k*lled with crossbows.

Both females.

Scott: Where?

(Map rustles)

Ty: One here... and today, a new mother right here.

Both had their gallbladders removed.

Poachers.

Sounds like they were being baited.

Yeah. I found her orphaned cubs hanging around.

That's too bad.

The thing is, Scott, Bob called Fish and Wildlife, but they don't seem to be doing much.

So I thought if you knew someone there that...

I dunno, maybe you could help.

I'm afraid not.

Well, it was worth a sh*t.

I guess I'll try and track down their baiting stations myself.

If you're smart, you'll let Fish and Wildlife handle it.

So, in the meantime, I'm supposed to let these guys k*ll as many bears as they'd like?

I don't think so.

(Receding footsteps)

(Screen door creaks open and closed)

Jack: So you were pretty quiet during dinner.

(Tinny music plays through headphones)

Hey!

I said, you were pretty quiet at dinner.

Just trying to stay out of trouble.

Look, Jade, everyone makes mistakes.

What matters is how you choose to handle it.

Meaning?

Well, meaning... Georgie could use a hand doing night check.

I think I'll take a pass.

Well, it's not up to you.

Besides, sitting here feeling sorry for yourself sure won't solve anything.

You know, it might even make you feel good.

Jade: I seriously doubt that.

Jack: You ask me? It's too bad when people get so worried about making mistakes, that they quit trying altogether.

(Broom swishes)

Georgie: Hey!

Here. Let me.

Look, I'm sorry about earlier, okay?

I was supposed to be supervising.

Well, I guess it makes it your fault, then.

How about... it's both our faults.

Okay. I can live with that.

You know, he likes you. You should pet him.

It's okay. Look it, his ears are pointing towards you; that means he wants you to.

You know, you should really change your story.

Which one?

Georgie: About not liking horses.

The truth is... they do kind of scare me... a little bit.

But there's something about this guy.

(Gate clanks, latch clicks)

Georgie: You know... I can help you get over your fear, if you want me to.

(Rattles gate)

(Birds chirp, seat belt clicks into place)

Lou: There you go. I'll get you your snack.

Morning!

Amy: Good morning. Where are you off to?

Lou: Oh, Katie has gymboree. I'm gonna pop into Maggie's.

But we'll be back soon, right?

Katie: Yup!

Jack: So how's it going with that new horse?

Amy: Pretty good. I'm happy with the way he's responding.

I think we're getting close.

Jack: Well, I'll give you a hand.

Amy: Thanks.

(Door rumbles open)

Amy: Oh no!

(Sighs)

Jack: It looks like he's long gone.

Jade: What's wrong?

Amy: Dash is missing.

You forgot to check the stall door again?

Jade: Hey! I'm not stupid!

Jack: Tone it down.

I double checked this time.

Amy: Looking after horses isn't for everyone, okay?

And maybe you're just not up to it?

It wasn't Jade's fault! We double-checked the latch.

It was fine when we left him.

Amy: Then how do you explain this disappearing act?

We can't.

That's not good enough.

(Bridle jingles, gate clanks open)

Got your message.

What's up?

Scott: Well, I thought about what you said.

But if I'm gonna get involved, I wanna check this area out for myself.

Ty: No, no, no.

Thanks for the offer, but I got it. It'll be fine.

Scott: No, it won't.

I know you're too stubborn to drop it.

But I don't have a lot of time.

So when can you do this?

Well, I uh... I got the day off.

All right. I'll get Cass to cover.

But I can only spare a couple hours.

Amy: Come on, grandpa.

Losing a client's horse, that's a big deal.

Jack: That is true, but we're not really sure how it happened yet, and seems to me that you've been... overreacting to pretty much everything these days.

(Crows caw)

Amy, I swore I was gonna stay out of things from here on out, but I know from experience that it can be good when two people take the time and space from each other that they need.

Look at me and Lisa.

The time we spent apart after my heart att*ck, that was good.

But there's also such a thing as taking too much time.

I've tried talking to Ty, okay?

It just never works.

Amy, if you want things to change, you gotta keep trying.

(Sighs)

Jack: There he is right there.

Amy: (Sighs) Do you mind watching Spartan?

Jack: Sure.

(Lands with a thud, grass rustles underfoot)

Amy: Well, we're about to see if he's learned anything.

Hey, boy. Stand.

Whoa... stand.

Good boy. Huh?

You had us worried.

Come on, let's go home.

Jack: Looks like you fixed him.

Amy: Yeah, not bad, huh?

(Truck rumbles loudly)

Ty: Yeah, stop anywhere along here and we'll walk in.

Scott: Okay.

(Engine cuts out, doors open and close)

Ty: You sure we need a tranq g*n?

Scott: Just a precaution. Bears are food-driven.

If they find a reliable source, chances are they'll be back.

Ty: All right.

I found both dead bears in this general area.

(Loud snort nearby)

Georgie: Look!

(Hooves plod lightly, horse snorts)

Is he okay?

Oh, he seems to be just fine.

Georgie: (Relieved sigh) I'll take him.

(Georgie clucks her tongue)

Amy: Girls? I was pretty upset before.

But now that I've had a chance to cool off, I've gotta ask you again, do you have any idea how this happened?

No. None. Sorry.

We've gotta find out though.

(Georgie clucks her tongue)

Ty: The bear cubs ran off into those woods.

Probably a good place to start.

Scott: Poachers usually monitor a few baiting stations at once.

There's the ground blind.

Ty: There's the bait.

Looks like stale donuts and cookies.

Scott: Makes sense.

Bears usually have a sweet tooth.

Ty: (Sighs)

(Carrot crunches loudly)

Jade: This is lame.

He's not doing anything, he's just standing there.

How long are we gonna keep doing this?

Georgie: As long as it takes.

What if there's nothing to see?

Maybe I didn't latch the stall door.

Georgie: I saw you check it, remember?

Look!

No way! That is messed up.

Amy and Jack will never believe this!

Maybe we can show them.

Ty: What do you think?

Call Fish and Wildlife, let 'em take it from here?

Yeah, we'll call. (Dialing beeps)

(ATVs rumble nearby, phone beeps off)

(Foliage rustles underfoot)

(ATVs rumble loudly, engines cut out)

(Bag rustles)

Ty: I know those guys.

They paid me a visit.

It's time for a little payback.

Hey!

Don't do anything stupid.

But I guess it's too late for that, huh?

Careful, Ty!

Ty: Huh!

Poacher: Oh!

(Grunting and groaning)

Ty: Hey, you're not so fast!

(Hard punch)

Ty: Stay down!

Poacher: Okay, okay. Take it easy!

Ty: Nice try.

Why spend your day off sticking your nose where it don't belong?

Bob: I told you to leave it alone, man.

Ty: You told them my name, Bob!

That I had the day off. Where I lived!

You knew they were coming after me and you let it happen!

Bob: You don't understand.

Ty: Yes, I do understand!

You've been lying to me from the start!

About everything!

Okay, yeah, the poachers threw some money my way and I took it.

Now that may sound bad to you, but I have been busting my butt off just trying to keep this place open!

I did it for the greater good.

Oh, don't kid yourself. You're no better than they are.

I'm not proud of it, but I did what I had to do to survive.

And yeah, a few bears d*ed, but look at all the other animals that got to live.

Ty: Oh, yeah?

Bob: Yeah!

Tell it to Fish and Wildlife, and good luck with that.

Bob: Ty, wait!

(Loud thunk, Bob sighs heavily)

Jack: What do you got going on in here then?

Georgie: Wait till you see this!

Jade: Prepare to have your minds blown.

Lou: Consider us warned.

(Jack chuckles)

Jade: Come on, Dash! Come to the carrot!

Georgie: Come on!

Jade: Come on, boy!

Jade: Come on, Dash! Come!

Georgie: Dash, come on!

Jade: Come get it! (Whistles)

Jade: Come on!

Georgie: You can do it!

Georgie: (Clucks her tongue)

Jade: You love carrots.

Come on, I know you do! Come on!

Jade: Come get it!

Georgie: Good boy!

Jade: You got it! You got it!

Georgie: Come on!

Georgie: You can do it!

Jade: What's that?

Jade: Good boy!

Georgie: Wait, almost... Almost there!

Georgie: Wait, almost...

Jade: Come on, you almost got it!

(Latch clanks)

Georgie and Jade: Good boy, Dash!

Jade: Good boy! Come here! Come get it!

Georgie: Oh, good boy!

Lou: That's crazy!

I've never seen anything like it.

How did you guys figure this out?

Well, we spied on him with Katie's nanny-cam.

But we wanted you guys to see it in person.

So Jade came up with the carrot idea.

Well, I better rig something up quick before he decides to drive the tractor.

Amy and Lou: (Chuckle)

I guess I owe you two an apology.

This time I'm the one who jumped to conclusions and sorry I was so quick to blame.

Good boy, Dash.

(Patting him) Now for your final test.

He's doing it!

Amy: (Laughs and pats Dash)

You're such a good boy.

(Dash snorts)

Amy: (Clucks her tongue) Whoa...

That's it.

Do you wanna give it a try?

Come on, you can do this.

Jade: I can't believe I'm getting sucked into this.

Amy: Just put your left foot in there and swing your right leg over.

There you go!

Okay, now hang onto your reins.

How do you feel?

(Amy clucks her tongue)

Amy: Good job!

Georgie: Nice!

Amy: Take him forward!

Come on, Dash.

Ty: Hey, Scott?!

Scott: Hey. Sorry to hear about Bob.

Thought he was a decent guy.

Yeah, I thought so too.

But he made some stupid decisions and now he's gotta deal with the fallout.

Look, I... I gotta say, I really appreciate you stepping up and helping me out.

It was great to work with you again.

Look, I know a lot was said, but this is one of the best jobs I've ever had.

I have to admit, it hasn't been the same around here without you.

Thanks, man. I... I appreciate that.

You know what, Scott? I... I totally blew it.

You've got a business here to run and I didn't handle that Dr. Kerr thing very well, and I see that now.

Is there any way you'd ever consider hiring me back on?

Scott: The thing about you, Ty, is you always put the welfare of the animals first.

Which is one of the qualities that's gonna make you a great vet someday.

And just so you know, I walked away from the Dr. Kerr deal.

So what're you saying?

Welcome back.

Are you serious?

(Hands slap)

Thanks, man. You won't regret it.

Don't thank me yet.

Cassandra's really picked up the slack since you've been gone so... she's the boss now.

That's fine.

I'll do whatever it takes. I'm just happy to be back.

See you in the morning, Ty.

(Knocks on the desk) You bet.

(Gate clanks open, hooves clop)

Wait. I wanna give him this.

Here you go, boy.

(Chuckles)

Okay, girls, time for him to go.

Georgie: Oh...

Amy: (Chuckles)

Amy: Come on, Dash. (Clucks her tongue) Good boy.

Georgie: That's how it is in the animal business.

We try not to get too attached.

Amy: Hi.

Ty: Hey.

Where you headed?

I'm... returning this horse to Scott.

I guess he must be pretty busy.

Amy: Yeah.

Ty: Hopefully I can help with that now.

What do you mean?

Well, I just got my old job back.

Amy: That's great! What about that reserve?

Ty: I quit. It's kind of a long story. Um... (Sighs heavily) I should get going.

Amy: Ty? I miss you. Take care of yourself.

Announcer: On the next Heartland...

My brother thinks there's something wrong with the horses.

Announcer: Too much horse to handle.

Pull back!

Announcer: When horse whispering isn't the answer.

You're such a liar!

Announcer: A plot is a foot.

He's going to sell them.

We have to stop him.

Announcer: An all new Heartland, next Sunday at 7:00 on cbc.
