08x07 - Walk a Mile

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Heartland"...

Tim: I just remember the atmosphere back then.

Casey: If you really do miss it, maybe you should come with me on my rodeo tour.

Tim: (Chuckles)

Casey: There's nothing like it.

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

Welcome back.

Ty: Well, I just got my old job back.

That's great.

Ty: I should get going.

Amy: Ty?

I miss you.

Take care of yourself.

(Truck rumbles away)

(german choral music plays)

(Horses snort, wagon creaks)

Georgie: Hey.

Hi.

Georgie: I'm Georgie.

Hanna: Hanna.

Haven't I seen you before, like at Maggie's or something?

My sister and I deliver baking there sometimes.

Oh, right! Your rhubarb pie is crazy good.

Thanks.

So do your horses have names?

Lucas and Alexander.

I was trying to listen, but I didn't hear much.

What's wrong with them?

My brother, Paul, was taking some kids on a hay ride, and Lucas and Alexander started going faster and faster.

Paul couldn't get them under control.

Everyone was just really scared.

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

I'll start by ground driving them.

I wanna see how they work together as a team.

Paul: We should just sell them.

Walter: Let's not be hasty.

Give Amy a chance to figure it out.

Jack: Amy worked with a team of clydesdales a few years back.

She had them in shape in no time.

Amy: Well, I've never worked with percherons before, but give me a few days, and I'll see what I can do.

We should discuss money.

Amy: This is on the house.

Walter: Oh, no, that's far too kind.

Jack: You know, last year when the road to Heartland was washed out, the folks from your colony were a big help to us.

It's the least we can do.

Well, our garden is producing far more strawberries than we know what to do with, so you'll at least take some of those off our hands.

Deal. (Chuckles)

Lou: So... three weeks on the road with Casey.

That's a long trip.

Tim: Yeah, it was.

Lou: How was it?

Tim: Fine.

Lou: Just fine?

Tim: Great! (Chuckles)

Lou: And Casey?

Tim: What about her?

Lou: Dad, you spent three weeks on the road together.

I wanna know how it went?

Tim: We had a good time.

Lou: And now?

Tim: And now I'm back.

So catch me up. How's everything at home?

Uh, it's good. Everything's good.

You know, um, Katie's feet grew two sizes.

I keep having to give her old shoes away.

And Amy, she's... I don't know.

She's... I think it's better, but she's putting on a brave face.

Wait, wait. Brave face. What do you mean?

You know, Amy and Ty, they...

You don't know, do you?

Know what, Lou?

(Dogs bark in the distance, door swings open)

Scott: Give me the run down, from the top.

Ty: The cat - Mr. Whiskers - has been vomiting for five days now.

The x-rays show a foreign body in the upper intestine.

Scott: So what's the plan?

Ty: Well, you're gonna make a small incision in the abdomen, and search the intestines and remove whatever he swallowed.

You want to do the honours?

Are you serious?

Yeah. You're more than capable.

Uh... yeah.

(Blows out his breath)

(Birds chirp, Lucas and Alexander grunt)

Georgie: I'm surprised those people that dropped off the horses were using a truck.

Amy: Why's that?

Well, don't they use like... buggies and horses to get around?

Amy: Uh, no. You're confusing them with the amish.

Hutterites are different.

They run big, modern farming operations on their colonies.

Oh...

Well, Hanna told me about these guys.

Do you think you can fix them?

Don't you mean "we." You're still my partner, right?

Right.

Amy: Okay, well, let's get this harness on Alexander.

Georgie: All right.

(Harness jingles)

I'm not seeing anything.

(X-ray flutters)

It has to be in there somewhere. Keep looking.

There's no protrusion, redness.

Everything seems clear. I don't understand.

Well, you're the one who took the X-ray.

Are you sure it wasn't just an artifact on the screen?

Scott: Ty?

Ty: Uh, I-I-I...

I'm ninety-nine percent sure, Scott.

Scott: That's not good enough.

Next time be a 100% sure. Step aside.

There's your problem right there.

You're looking in the wrong place.

What's that right here, adjacent to the stomach?

Ty: Uh...

Scott: Come on, you should know this.

It's-it's the duodenum.

Good. Does that look normal to you?

Ty: No.

Scott: That's our foreign body.

Looks like you didn't cut open this cat for no reason after all.

Ty: (Sighs) Uh...

I'm gonna get some fresh air.

(Door creaks, gloves snap)

We need to talk.

♪ And at the break of day you sank into your dream ♪

♪ You dreamer

♪ oh, oh, oh...

♪ You dreamer

♪ you dreamer

Ty: Shouldn't you be happy?

You never thought I was good enough for Amy in the first place.

Oh, come on. You got it all wrong, Ty.

I might have been hard on you, but...

Comes with the territory.

(Dogs bark in the distance)

So... why are you here then?

Because, as usual, I'm the last to know that you and Amy are no longer together, so I just wanted to have a chance to say goodbye.

And whether you believe it or not, I like you... sort of.

So, in case this is more than just a temporary break, I just wanted to say... all the best.

Okay.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Happy trails.

Both: (Chuckle)

You're sure about this "break" though, right?

Because the way I see it, a break and breaking up... same thing.

Now, it might not be any of my business, but you and Amy have been back and forth so many times, I get whiplash just thinking about it.

Frankly, I'm tired of it. You must be too.

So if you're gonna break up, just break up.

Tim, this is something...

And, so you know, it gets easier - living with regret.

It takes practice. It stings at first, but you can drink, that's what I did for years.

And eventually... you learn to live with it.

You convince yourself it was for the best.

I've grown, I'm a better person.

And then it just becomes this... dull, empty feeling that you live with.

So... you got that to look forward to.

(Shakes Ty's hand) Good luck.

(Door creaks open and shut, Ty sighs)

Jack: Hey, Lise?

Lisa: Hey!

There's some fresh coffee in there.

Jack: Thanks.

I have a letter here addressed to...

Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett.

Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

Lisa: Mm-hmm. It does. Too bad it's not my name.

Well, it could be, couldn't it? If you wanted it to be.

Uh, yeah, I suppose.

Lisa Stillman's been my name my entire life, but... not even with Dan did I change it.

I'm not gonna change it now.

But we didn't really talk about that before we got married, you didn't expect me to change my name, did you?

Lisa: Jack?

Jack: (Chuckles)

Lou: So your total comes to $67.80.

Casey: Oh! And I'll take one of these too...

If you sign it for me?

Lou: Of course. I'd love to.

You just missed my dad.

He was in here talking about what a great time you two had on the road together.

Really? Worst three weeks of my life.

I'm kidding. (Laughs) I'm kidding.

We had a great time...

When he wasn't driving too fast, and spilling coffee in my truck.

Yeah, he can be kind of inconsiderate sometimes.

Casey: Yeah, and then he'll go and do something completely charming and sweet and you can't help but like the guy. It's very annoying.

Oh, you are describing my entire childhood.

(Laughs) You must be so scarred.

You can read all about it in my book.

Casey: I can't wait.

Lou: Okay.

Well, you know, we go for lunch or something sometime.

Yeah, I'd like that.

Better idea. You and my dad should come by the ranch tomorrow night for dinner and get to know the entire family.

Casey: Really?

Lou: Yeah.

Okay, sure.

Enjoy the book.

Thanks. And, uh, I've never met a famous author before.

Lou: Oh, bad news. You still haven't.

Oh, don't be so modest.

Everybody in this town knows who Lou Fleming is.

Lou: You know what? You I like.

My dad better not mess this up.

(Chuckles) Bye.

See ya. (Door clicks open)

(Birds chirp)

(Hooves plod softly, harness jingles)

Amy: Good. (Chuckles)

Amy: I really don't get it.

Georgie: What?

Amy: Well, they're pulling on the reins nice and evenly, they've got nice pressure.

So far they seem to be the perfect team.

Georgie: Then why did Paul lose control during the hay ride?

Amy: Um... I don't know.

Should we keep ground driving them?

Amy: No. I have a better idea.

Whoa, boys.

I think it's time to try something a little more challenging.

(Hooves clop on gravel, wagon rattles)

Amy: And whoa...

Good boys.

There is nothing wrong with these horses.

They're doing exactly what they're supposed to do.

Maybe they got spooked on the hay ride by like a snake or something.

Amy: Well, apparently, the hay ride wasn't the first time they acted up.

Yeah, I'm thinking this has a lot more to do with the driver than it does with the horses.

You mean Hanna's brother.

Only one way to find out.

(Dialing beeps)

(Music plays in diner)

Tim: Hey!

Lou: Oh, hey, dad. You know, you just missed Casey.

She was in getting supplies.

Oh, yeah! You two are coming for dinner tomorrow, so don't forget.

And tell Casey she doesn't have to bring anything.

Tim: Y-you invited Casey for dinner?

Lou: There you go. Enjoy.

Diner: Thank you.

Tim: Lou? Lou: Yeah, I did.

And she's not a vegetarian or anything is she?

'Cause I was gonna make a braised lamb shank.

Lou: Here you go.

Tim: Lou. Lou, stop.

You have to call Casey and tell her dinner's off.

Lou: What? Why would I do that?

Tim: Because I never asked you to invite Casey for dinner.

Lou: Dad, come on. don't you think it is about time that your family meet the woman you've been spending so much time with?

Tim: It's not that serious, Lou.

We... we had a little fun and now it's winding down.

Lou: Winding down?

Tim: Yes, to a natural and mutually understood ending.

Uh-huh. And does, um, Casey know about this "natural and mutually understood ending"?

Of-of course... On-on some level.

Lou: Unbelievable! You haven't actually told her yet.

It's an unfinished conversation.

Dad, a woman does not accept an invitation to meet a man's family unless she thinks the relationship is going somewhere.

Well, how do I know what a woman's thinking?

I don't read minds.

You know what you're doing? You're leading her on.

Tim: No, I'm not.

Lou: Yes. Yes, you are, and there is nothing I can't stand more than a man who leads a woman on.

You know what? If you wanna cancel this dinner, you go ahead.

I'm not doing your dirty work for you.

(Light punch)

I really liked her, dad. She bought my book.

I knew you'd mess this up.

(Horses snort softly)

Amy: We're just gonna take this nice and slow.

An easy walk around the yard.

You all right?

Fine. (Gulps)

(Clucks his tongue)

(Hooves clop on gravel)

Amy: Okay, you need a little more contact.

Paul: Okay.

Amy: You have too much slack in your lines.

Paul: Okay, okay.

Amy: Okay, pull up.

Paul: I know what I'm doing.

Amy: Pull back on the reins.

Paul: I'm pulling back!

Amy: Keep them on the road!

Paul, just pull back!

Paul: All right!

Amy: Paul!

Paul: Whoa!

Amy: Easy!

(Wagon rattles, horses pant hard)

Easy, boys. Good boys.

And... whoa, boys. Whoa...

Paul: I thought you were supposed to be fixing these horses?

Lucas and Alexander aren't the problem, are they?

Look, Paul, you don't have to be embarrassed.

I can give you some pointers on how to drive?

I know how to drive.

Okay. Um... Then maybe you're afraid and you're telegraphing your fear to the horses.

Is this what you do when you can't figure out how to fix a horse?

You blame the owner?

Amy: Well... I'm not blaming.

Look, I'm just trying to help you.

I don't want your help.

Amy: Why did you hire me?

Paul: I didn't.

My dad thought it'd be a good idea.

He was wrong.

(Sighs heavily)

(Door creaks open)

Scott: Hey, Ty. Catch.

(Light tap)

What's this?

That's the foreign body I removed from Mr. Whiskers intestine... a nice shiny penny.

You should've stuck around for the extraction.

It was pretty cool.

Sorry I missed it.

You know, Ty, I double checked that X-ray before we started the operation.

I knew it wasn't just an artifact on the screen.

Well, then, why did you ask me?

I wanted to see how you would react.

Sometimes things don't go according to plan during surgery.

So, next time, just take a breath, trust your instincts.

I need you to stay overnight and watch Mr. Whiskers.

Oh, I've been here since 6 a.m., Scott.

Is that a problem?

No, it's not a problem.

Good. Keep the penny. It's a souvenir.

See you in the morning.

(Birds chirp)

Hanna: Hi, Alexander. Lucas.

You want a carrot?

(Horses chomp loudly, Hanna giggles)

Hanna: There... (Giggles)

Georgie: Hanna?

Hanna: (Gasps)

Georgie: Hanna, what're doing? Wait!

Wait up! Hanna!

Hanna!

(Bicycle rattles away)

Lou, when are Hanna and her mom dropping off the baking at the diner?

Lou: Uh, they usually drop it off in the morning around nine, I think.

But I'm not sure if they're doing a delivery today.

Did you want some breakfast or...

Oh, okay, bye.

Amy: Hey, Lou, when you're in town today, can you stop by the vet clinic and grab the west nile vaccine?

Lou: Mm-hmm.

Amy: What's that look for?

Lou: What look?

Like you're judging me.

Why would I judge you because you're avoiding Ty?

It's perfectly human.

(Spoon clanks)

Cowardly maybe, but... perfectly human.

Amy: Just this once, please?

Lou: Look...

I will do my sisterly duties for you this time, but... you can't avoid him forever.

(Diner buzzes with chatter)

Tim: So...

Casey: So?

There's... something I need to tell you.

Oh, great. You've got another love child out there somewhere, don't you?

What? No.

I-I have just one love child.

Secretly married? Is that what it is?

No, I-I told you all my secrets on the road trip.

I know, but I was only half listening. Kinda boring.

(Laughs) No...

I got you something.

What? What is this?

It's just a little something to thank you for... turning what could've been a very lonely trip into something really special.

You told me you like to fly fish.

The guy at the store said you'd like it.

(Gasps)

You hate it.

It's perfect. Really, I...

Thank you.

(Laughs) Look, I'm sorry.

I know that you said you had something to tell me and I... I totally interrupted you.

Tim: I wa-yeah, I was going say...

I was just going to say... that I hope you're ready for dinner tonight, because meeting my family is a big deal and you can always back out.

Casey: No, actually, I'm really looking forward to it.

Great.

That's great.

(People chatter, car honks)

Georgie: Hanna!

Hanna: Uh, hi, Georgie.

Are you gonna tell on me?

Uh, no. Tell what?

I wasn't supposed to be at Heartland this morning.

I barely got home in time to help with the baking.

If my mom found out, I'd be in a lot of trouble.

Well, I won't say anything.

Thank you.

You know, you didn't have to run away this morning.

I mean you can come see Lucas and Alexander whenever you want.

Hanna: Really?

Georgie: Yeah.

Your secret's safe with me.

Hanna's Mom: Hanna? Come!

Hanna: I better go.

If you want, you can come stop by later.

Hanna: I'll try.

Georgie: Okay.

(Traffic rumbles)

You coming Katie?

Katie: My cowboy hat's lost!

Lisa: Oh, no, I-I think I saw it in your room.

You go check.

Lisa: Jack...

Jack: Mm-hmm?

You don't wear a wedding ring.

Jack: What's that?

Lisa: You don't wear a wedding ring, right?

Jack: Right.

Lisa: And you've made that choice and I respect that.

Just like you can respect that I... don't wanna change my name.

Jack: Okay.

Lisa: Okay.

(Under his breath) It's not really the same thing, but...

What, I'm sorry?

I said, it's not really the same thing.

Well, no, but they are two traditions that we've chosen not to follow because we're a non-traditional couple.

Well, maybe some traditions are worth holding on to.

You mean like wearing a wedding ring, for example?

Or like changing your last name, for example.

(Running footsteps)

Lisa: Oh! There it is!

Jack: Oh, looking good, Katie.

Katie: Bye, GG.

Jack: Bye.

Lisa: We're gonna go see pogie, GG...?

Jack: GG, yeah. Great grandpa.

Lisa: Oh! Oh, that's good.

(Under her breath) Hi!

Ty: Here you go. One dozen west nile vaccines.

Lou: Thanks. We keep on running out of this stuff.

Ty: So you've been inoculating a lot of horses lately?

Yeah, tons. Whole... herds.

Right.

So you're obviously not here because Amy sent you?

What? No, that's... crazy.

It's okay, Lou. I get it.

So how are you?

I'm good.

Yeah? 'Cause you don't... You don't look so good.

Thanks.

I just mean you look tired.

Well, I just worked a night shift that sorta... kept going, so...

By choice?

Uh... not exactly.

Scott's been on my case ever since I got back.

I think he's holding a bit of a grudge, but...

Lou: What do you mean?

Ty: Well, he wasn't exactly happy when I quit to go work at the wildlife reserve, so I think he's still upset about that.

Well, I've known Scott for a long time, and I think if that were true, he would be straight with you.

Anyway, I've gotta go. It was good to see you, Ty.

Ty: You too.

(Receding footsteps)

Hey, Lou?

Lou: Yeah?

Can you tell Amy that I said uh... Tell her that I said hello.

I will.

Hanna: Are you being a good boy, Lucas?

You're not eating all of Alexander's food again, are you?

Lucas is greedier than a prize-winning hog.

Amy: Hey, Hanna, do you know why Paul lost control of the wagon?

Promise you won't say anything.

Not to my dad. Not to anyone.

Amy: Okay.

Georgie: Promise.

Paul doesn't like horses. He likes machines.

My brother would much rather be fixing engines than taking care of Lucas and Alexander.

Amy: Well, then, why was he taking those kids on a hay ride?

Because my dad asked him to.

The last thing Paul would ever want to do is disappoint him.

So then that story about the horses was just a cover?

He's ashamed.

He doesn't want my dad to know the truth.

That's why he wants to sell them.

I don't want them to go.

Sometimes I sneak into the barn just to see them.

There's lots of weeding and canning I should be doing, but... Lucas and Alexander are the best part of my day.

(Truck rumbles up, dog barks)

(Door clicks open, bangs shut)

Paul: What are you doing here?

Georgie: We invited her.

Meh foen. Kumps geya.

Paul, I know why you wanna sell the horses.

I think you're making a big mistake.

If you can't fix them, then I don't have any other choice.

Lucas and Alexander are perfectly fine.

You don't know that.

Hanna: Yes I do. I've... driven the wagon before.

When?

Lots of times, when no one's looking.

This is your fault. You did something wrong.

You messed them up.

That's what I'll tell dad if you make a fuss.

Stop it! You're such a liar!

Amy: Okay, Georgie...

Paul: Get in the truck.

Casey: No, we really lucked out though.

I mean the weather was good, we hardly had any road construction.

Tim: Mm.

Lisa: That sounds like a perfect trip.

Yeah, until Tim hit a dog.

Lou: No. You're kidding!

Tim: I nicked it. Barely.

Georgie: Was he okay?

Tim: He was fine.

Casey: Yeah, five hundred dollars in vet bills later.

(Snorts and laughs)

Lou: Okay, it's time for you to go to bed.

It is way past your bedtime.

Let me do it. You stay.

Lou: Are you sure?

Lisa: Yeah, of course.

Come on, honey, let's get you ready for bed.

Katie: I want Casey read me a story?

Lisa: Oh! Well, if Casey wants to read you a story, let's do that.

Are you kidding? I would love to.

Lou: Okay, but only two stories. That's it.

Casey: I'll try my best.

Lou: Be strong.

Casey: (Laughs)

(Katie hums happily, receding footsteps)

Did I mention how much I like her?

Georgie: I like her too.

Amy: Yeah, she's great, dad.

Lou: Yeah. Funny, smart, beautiful...

Only an idiot would let a girl like that go.

I can't believe you hit a dog.

I just nicked it!

What was that about?

I made the mistake of confiding in Lou about Casey, which is, frankly, none of her business.

Yeah, I guess it's none of my business either.

Tim: Jack, sometimes two people go different directions.

Happened to you and Lisa.

You broke up for awhile before you got married.

That's true... but I was being an idiot.

(Cell phone rings, beeps on)

Amy: Hello? Walter. Yes, hi.

Um... actually, can you hold for one moment?

It's Hanna's dad. He wants to know what's going on with Lucas and Alexander.

What're you gonna say?

I think we should tell him the truth.

Well, you can't. We promised Hanna.

I know. But Georgie, keeping this from Walter is wrong.

Amy, a promise is a promise.

Amy: Hi. Um... you know, I'm actually just gonna need a few days to work with them.

No, I know, but... (Sighs)

Okay. Yeah, I understand.

Okay. Have a good night.

(Phone beeps off)

He's picking up the horses tomorrow.

Why?

Amy: He found a buyer.

Georgie: (Sighs)

(Birds chirp, cow moos)

Scott: Okay, so give me the run down.

Ty: Well, the cow gave birth last week, and she's been off her feed for a few days now, so... judging from the sounds of her stomach, I'd say it's a displaced abomasum.

Scott: How do we fix it?

Ty: Make a small incision in the abdomen, reach in and untwist the stomach manually.

Scott: Easy, right?

Ty: In and out.

Shouldn't take more than an hour.

Scott: An hour, huh?

Ty: Yeah, well... give or take.

Scott: All right.

(Phone beeps)

I'll time you, then.

Starting now.

Ty: What do you mean?

Scott: Well, I wanna see if you can do this surgery in under an hour.

Ty: You want me to do the surgery?

Scott: 59 minutes and 38 seconds.

37. (Gloves rustle)

Jack: Oh, that sounds like a private family situation.

I don't know that I wanna get involved.

No, we're not asking you to get involved, grandpa.

Well, then what're you asking?

We just need a tiny favour.

Lou: So... talked to Casey yet?

Tim: No, I haven't talked to Casey yet.

Why is it so important to you, Lou?

You're like a terrier gnawing at my pant leg.

Lou: Excuse me? You know what? Forget I said anything.

Tim: No, I wanna know. Since when did you become president of the Casey Fan Club?

Is it just because she bought your book?

Lou: That is not the reason.

Tim: Well, then what is it?

Lou: It's hard to explain.

Tim: Try me.

Lou: You know what? I admit I wasn't crazy about grandpa marrying Lisa in secret, but now that they're together, I feel like he has a person.

Someone who will always be there for him, and it gives me comfort knowing that, okay?

And I just... I want you to have a person too, okay?

I'm not saying it has to be Casey.

I'm just saying that you deserve to have someone special in your life.

Dad, you're...

When you're not being a major pain in the butt, you are a funny, gentle guy with a big heart.

A ridiculously big heart... and I just...

I just want you to be happy.

Casey does make me happy.

We laughed the entire time we were on that road trip.

I have never met anyone like her.

Then why are you pushing her away?

(Takes a deep breath)

Oh, dad...

You're falling in love with her... and that terrifies you.

(Fork hits plate hard)

(Birds chirp, footsteps crunch on gravel)

So Amy had a couple errands to run in town.

She shouldn't be long.

Walter: Oh, we'll load up the horses and be on our way.

Jack: Yeah, I'll give you a hand in a minute.

Uh... I'm just wondering...

Do either of you two fellas know anything about diesel engines?

I've been tinkering on this hunk of junk tractor all morning, and I... for the life of me, I can't get it to run.

Paul is the best mechanic on the colony.

Jack: You don't say?

Walter: Why don't you have a look?

Don't we have to meet the buyer soon?

We still have some time.

Jack: Appreciate it.

Amy: Are you sure they're making their delivery today?

Georgie: I hope so.

Amy: They better hurry up 'cause grandpa can only stall Walter for so long.

Georgie: (Gasps) Look. There they are.

(Truck doors close)

Georgie: Hanna!

Your dad's at Heartland.

He's gonna sell Alexander and Lucas.

Hanna: I know.

Georgie: But we have to stop him.

Hanna: How?

Georgie: You said you've driven the wagon, right?

Well, we need to show your dad and then he'll know Paul was lying.

Hanna: No.

Georgie: Why not?

It'll humiliate him. I can't do that to my brother.

Georgie: Well, what about Lucas and Alexander?

I'd rather lose them than risk my brother hating me.

Do you have a brother or sister, Georgie?

Georgie: Yeah.

Hanna: So you understand.

At least come say goodbye.

(Receding footsteps)

And try it now.

(Engine starts and rumbles loudly)

(Jack laughs, turns engine off)

Boy, you made that look easy. Good job!

Quite the son you got there.

(Truck rumbles)

Walter: Hanna?

(Truck doors bang shut)

Vos tuesten doh?

I came to say goodbye to the horses.

Mom said it was okay.

(Weeping)

You won't separate them, right?

That'll depend. We may have to.

They won't like being separated.

They've always have each other.

Say your goodbyes quickly. We have a buyer waiting to meet us.

Come on. Let's get them loaded.

(Crying)

Come on, let's get them loaded on.

(Crying)

(Weeping) Goodbye.

It'll be okay.

(Weeping)

We shouldn't sell them.

It's not Lucas and Alexander's fault I lost control of the wagon.

(Horses chew and snort, Hanna sniffles)

What do you mean?

Paul: I'm no good with horses.

I don't understand them, not the way Hanna does.

(Norse grunts softly, Hanna sniffles)

She can even drive the wagon.

Why did you keep this from me?

I didn't want you to be disappointed.

I'm sorry, dad.

Walter: Is what your brother said true?

Yes. I can show you.

(Hooves clop on gravel, tack jingles)

Good. Lucas, good.

(Wagon rattles)

(Grunting, cow moos)

Ty: Damn it.

Scott: What's wrong?

Ty: Well, it's really twisted out.

Scott: All right, step aside. I'll do it.

Ty: No, no, I... I got it.

Scott: I said step aside.

Ty: I said I got it!

(Wet, squishy sounds)

Ty: (Grunts and sighs)

There.

It's back in place.

Scott: You sure?

Ty: Yeah.

Scott: How sure?

Ty: A hundred percent.

Ty: (Breathing hard)

(Cattle moo)

Scott: All right, everything seems fine.

Good job. Better close her back up.

You only have twelve minutes left.

(Cattle moo)

Tim: Last night... dinner with the family...

I'll tell you, you really won everybody over.

That's a tough crowd, trust me.

Casey: Didn't win you over though, did I?

I'm not a fool, Tim.

I grew up around rodeo cowboys and that whole moving on to different towns, different women is just second nature to you guys.

Tim: Well, I haven't been a rodeo cowboy in a long time.

Casey: Yeah, but you still have that "moving on" look in your eye, and you have ever since we got back from that trip.

You know what I'm talking about.

Tim: Casey, wait. Wait, wait. You got this all wrong.

Let's not make this harder than it needs to be.

(Kiss)

I'll see you around.

(Trailer door bangs shut, latch clicks)

Thank you for your help, Jack.

I'm sorry we wasted Amy's time.

Oh, you didn't waste her time at all.

The important thing is, you know the truth now.

I guess the rest is up to you.

Jack: Have a good day, Walter.

Walter: You too, Jack.

(Truck doors open and close)

(german choral music starts)

(Seatbelt clicks, keys jingle)

Walter: (Sighs) Who among us could fix that tractor as quickly as you did?

None, to be sure.

So don't for a minute think that I'm not proud of you.

(Engine starts)

(Truck rumbles away)

Scott: You need to work on your sutures.

A few of your bites were too shallow.

Next time, be more consistent.

Is this how it's gonna be from now on?

Scott: What?

It's pretty obvious you got a problem with me.

I mean, I know you're disappointed that I quit and I went to work at the wildlife reserve, but you can't keep taking it out on me, especially during surgery.

Scott: You saw an opportunity at the reserve and you took it.

If I was your age, I would've done the same thing.

Well, then why are you being so hard on me?

I'm not being hard on you. I'm pushing you.

That's the only way you're gonna be a great vet one day.

From now on, I'm just gonna throw you in the deep end, see if you can swim.

Today you swam.

(Cattle moo, receding footsteps)

(Birds chirp, water splashes)

Amy: Hey, stranger.

Tim: Hey.

Amy: I've been meaning to ask you something.

What?

You brought Casey to dinner, to meet the family.

Does that mean it's serious?

Tim: Actually, honey, I've...

I'm not sure it's gonna work out.

Oh... that's too bad. I'm... I'm sorry.

Lou told me about you and Ty.

Amy, I don't wanna give you advice.

God knows I'm hardly qualified... but... I'd like you to promise me... that if you can't see your future without somebody in it... whether that's Ty or somebody else... you'll fight.

You're strong. You get that from your mother.

So promise me... fight for what's important.

I promise.

I love you. (Light kiss) I love you.

Love you too, dad.

I was looking at wedding rings today.

Lisa: You were?

Jack: No. (Laughs)

That's mean!

Do you really want me to wear a ring?

No, no... of course not.

Do you really want me to change my name?

No, I don't.

So you weren't upset the other day?

No. Maybe. Well, just for a split second, and only because you mentioned Dan.

What does Dan have to do with this?

I don't know. (Chuckles)

You didn't change your name for him.

Well, I guess part of me thought that you... might wanna change it for me... and not because I expected you to, but... ju... just because... it's you and me and... we're somehow stronger as a couple and...

I know, that sounds crazy.

No. But only because there's no comparison to Dan.

And I just... we don't need to change our names and... put on wedding rings to bind us together.

We have more than that.

So I'm always gonna be Lisa Stillman, your loving wife.

(Chuckles) Yes.

My loving, smart, incredibly beautiful wife...

Lisa: Oh, yes.

Both: (Chuckling)

Hanna: Hi, Georgie!

Georgie: Hey!

I just wanted to tell you that my dad's keeping Lucas and Alexander.

That's awesome! What about your brother?

Hanna: Paul's been put in charge of keeping all the farm equipment up and running at the colony, so he's like a pig in mud.

And as long as I get all of my weeding and picking done, I can visit the horses whenever I want.

I'm so happy for you, Hanna.

What're you doing right now?

Well, I was gonna go ride Phoenix. Wanna come?

I have a better idea.

(Horses snort softly)

(Clucks her tongue) Come on, Lucas! Alexander!

Come on, Lucas! Come on, Alexander!

Hanna and Georgie: (Laughing)

Woo! (Laughing)

(Wagon rattles, harness jingles)

Hanna: Easy, boy, easy.

(Horses snort)

Go on! Giddy up! Alexander, Lucas, giddy up!

Georgie: (Laughing)

Hanna: Come on! Giddy up!

Georgie and Hanna: (Laughing) Woo!

(Ty sighs, chair scrapes back)

(Phone beeps)

(Beer bottle clunks)

(Ty sighs, phone beeps)

Hey, Amy. I, uh, just missed your call.

I hope everything's okay.

I know this might sound kinda weird, but uh...

I actually had my hand inside a cow's abdomen today and it was... it was sort of incredible.

Anyways, I just wanted to share that with you.

Okay. (Phone beeps off)

(Hooves thud softly, Phoenix snorts)

Ty: Hey!

Amy: Hey.

I just called you back.

I'm sorry, I... I called, but... then I thought I'd just drop by.

I just left you a message.

Should I... Should I listen to it?

Ty: No, I'll just tell you what I said.

♪ When I am calling for you...

You know what? Maybe it's better that you do listen to it.

Okay. Like... right now?

Yeah.

♪ If our timing is true...

(Amy laughs, phone beeps off)

So you had your hand inside a cow?

Well, her abdomen. Not... not the other end.

Right. Of course.

It was a displaced abomasum.

I-I actually untwisted her stomach.

Wow. That's... That's incredible.

Yeah.

Sounds like you're doing really great.

I am.

I'm glad.

♪ It's not just deja vu well, I should probably um... get going.

I gotta see Caleb and...

Yeah. I should get him home anyway.

It was really nice to see you.

(Silence)

♪ And when the sun finally sank ♪

♪ And we take our last breath

♪ We will be one and not two

(crying)

♪ If our timing is true
