14x02 - The Last Goodbye

[bunniefuu]

AMY: Previously on "Heartland": Mayor Fleming!

I need to talk to you!

I'm sorry I couldn't be around as much.

It's okay.

I understand.

I've decided that I am gonna go through with his memorial.

I'm ready.

They were beautiful together.

AMY: We won't be alone... we'll never be alone.

Hi, sweetheart.

Did you have a good sleep?

- Yes.

- Yes.

- Yes!

- Okay.

QUINN: I didn't know you were such a good cook.

JACK: So Caleb can't make the cattle drive tomorrow.

He's gotta stay home with the baby.

TIM: Well, what about you, girls?

Can you go?

I have practice tomorrow.

I can't.

Yeah, I've got Lyndy.

I...

I can't.

I mean, I'm free.

You know, if you guys need another set of hands.

Yeah, actually, we've got a few calls out to some other guys with more experience, but thanks for the offer.

(DOOR SHUTS, APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS THUD)

Anybody missing two plane tickets to Florida?

You left them on the office printer tray.

Uh... we were gonna tell everyone.

Tell everyone what?

Quinn's parents offered to let me train at their place in Florida.

- Well, for how long?

- A few months.

What about school?

- I can do my classes online.

- Georgie, why wouldn't you have discussed this with me first?

The facilities down there are world class, and I really need to focus on my training right now.

I was gonna talk to you about it, I swear.

So, while you're training, you'll be living with Quinn?

Uh, she'd have her own room, which is gonna be f... far from my room...

in a different wing of the house.

You know, Quinn, on second thought, you maybe should come with us on that cattle drive.

I think it'll give us a chance to know you better.

- (PHONE RINGS)

- We are not finished this discussion, young lady.

Hi.

Yes, please send me those budgets before you send them...

So, I'm not coming back from this cattle drive, am I?

It was nice knowing ya.

JADE: Hey, don't look so worried.

You're really gonna like it here.

There's even a whole herd of wild horses that live on the property.

- Come on.

- (DOORS OPEN)

(DOOR BANGS SHUT) (FOOTSTEPS CRUNCH)

(LAUGHS)

Hello, Jade!

Hey, Jack.

This is Parker, my mom's new husband's daughter.

You could just say stepsister.

Right.

Stepsister.

I'm still getting used to that.

- It's nice to meet you.

- Hey.

So I hear you're staying with Jade while your folks are on a honeymoon.

Actually, I...

I wanted to talk to you about that.

Um, I've booked a couple of rodeos for next week so...

Your mom already filled me in.

It's all worked out.

Did she also tell you that Parker's dad - bought her a horse?

- (LATCH CLANGS)

(HOOVES CLOP)

Jack, meet Mickey.

Well, that's a paint horse.

I used to have a paint horse.

Bet you're pretty excited, huh?

Livestock are responsible for .

% of global greenhouse gas emissions, so excited isn't exactly the word I'd use.

Parker is more of a city girl.

Yeah.

Well, I recall somebody else who was every bit a city girl before she moved here, and now look at her.

Come on, Parker, let's get...

- what's his name?

- Mickey.

Let's get Mickey settled inside.

Did you see Amy's face, when we told her about Florida?

She seemed so disappointed.

Maybe we shouldn't go.

I think she really needs her family right now.

Maybe leaving is the wrong thing to do.

(ROPE WHOOSHES)

- Okay.

Yeah.

- (ROPE THUDS)

I...

I get it.

But we don't have decide right now.

If I actually survive this cattle drive, we'll make a decision when I get back.

- Okay.

- Hey...

I know that you don't think that you were there for Amy the way you could have been, but you're here now.

JADE: Um, excuse me! What's this I hear about you moving to Florida?!

Hey, how was your mom's wedding?

Uh, don't change the subject.

Florida.

Start talking.

Now.

Aren't equestrian sports dangerous?

Like worse than football and rugby?

Well, there's lots of different equestrian sports.

Some of 'em might be more dangerous than others, I suppose. Is riding dangerous?

Not if you have a decent teacher. You're in good hands with Jade. Jade won't give me riding lessons.

- She won't?

- No.

There's no way she's "hosting pony club"...

her words not mine.

Okay.

(CHUCKLES)

Well, in that case, I'll, I'll ask around, see if there's anyone else who can give you some lessons.

Okay, I guess.

So it must be kinda of tough having a new stepfamily and moving to a small town and...

you know, where you don't know anybody.

- Are you homesick?

- A little.

I miss my friends in Toronto.

That's where your mom is, right?

Yeah.

I'd be with her now except...

- she got sort of famous.

- Oh, is that so?

Like as famous as a psychologist can be.

She wrote this book and Reese Witherspoon posted a selfie reading it.

Anyways, now she's on a book tour and I'm here.

Well, see?

That's the great thing about horses.

Is not only are they really fun to ride, but they also make great companions.

Not if they buck you off and trample you to death.

- That's not gonna happen.

- But it could.

Grandpa, I'm headed into town.

Do you...

You're that kid who protests outside my office. What're you doing here?

What...

what is she doing here?!

- Jade's stepsister.

- (SIGHS)

Of course she is.

Why do you hate bees, Mayor Fleming?

I don't hate bees.

Then why does the town of Hudson use bee-harming pesticides in the park?

I... don't have time to answer that question right now.

When might be a good time? I don't know, okay?

Not now.

Later.

Great, I'll be here.

(ROPE WHOOSHES)

So Quinn's going on the cattle drive, huh?

Yeah.

Into the lion's den.

Tim and Jack are gonna eat him alive. I know.

If only there was someone with mad cowgirl skills that could act as a buffer on the ride.

Yeah, but what about the annoying tween?

She just got here.

I can't abandon her.

Well, I'm sure she could survive a night without you.

Quinn, on the other hand, I'm not sure he could.

(ROPE WHOOSHES, THUDS ON HAY BALE)

- Please.

- Hey, hey, hey!

(CHUCKLES)

I almost got that one.

- Oh my gosh, help him!

- (JADE LAUGHS)

(DOOR OPENS)

- Hey.

- Hey.

How are the secret roping lessons coming?

Quinn is trying his best.

Oh.

That bad, huh?

Well, Jade's taking over now, so hopefully she'll have better luck.

Come on right in here.

Girls, this is Parker.

- Hi Parker.

I'm Amy.

- I'm Georgie.

Jade told me all about you.

- What did she say?

- Good things.

Really?

Normally she just calls me the annoying tween.

Parker's gonna be staying upstairs, while she's here.

Well, let me help her up then.

Oh wow, are these light bulbs?

They're LED, just in case you guys haven't switched over yet.

JACK: (CHUCKLES) So...

Parker's dad just bought her a new horse.

Name's Mickey.

He's out in the barn right now.

- Lucky girl.

- Well, you'd think so, but she's a little reluctant about it.

I'm hoping that you can give her some lessons.

Mm.

I don't know, Grandpa.

I'm not sure I'm ready for that.

Besides, shouldn't Jade be giving her lessons?

Well, Jade doesn't seem to be too willing, so...

I'd do it myself, but I'm bringing those cattle down tomorrow.

Parker's a real bright thing, she's just a little homesick right now.

A few lessons would go a long way to making her feel welcome here.

You think about it.

(WATER DRIPPING)

- (APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS)

- Morning.

Oh no!

- What happened?

- Uh, there's a leak.

Yeah, I can see that.

Did you call somebody?

Yeah, I called the maintenance guy, but he's on vacation until tomorrow.

Okay, well... shouldn't we call someone else?

Someone else like who?

Um, I'm just, I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but maybe a plumber?

Are you sure I should do that?

Yeah, of course I'm sure.

I mean, what kind of question is that?

Okay.

Consider it done.

(CRICKETS CHIRP)

(KNOCKING)

- Hey.

- Hey.

How are you settling in?

Good, thanks.

What're you working on?

I'm organizing a protest against the use of bee-k*lling pesticides in Hudson.

Hmm.

Um, I heard that you were looking for someone to give you riding lessons.

Right.

Yeah.

I don't think now is really a good time.

Oh, I...

I didn't mean now.

It's pretty dark out there.

I was thinking maybe tomorrow?

Um... maybe.

Can I get back to you?

You know, for someone who just got their very own horse, you don't seem very happy about it.

I'm not really a horse person.

Then why did your dad buy you one?

Probably because he's trying to resolve his feelings of overwhelming guilt for divorcing my mom, marrying another woman and abandoning me here.

But that's just a guess. My dad's a family therapist and my mom's a psychologist, So...

cigars are never just cigars.

Or should I say, a horse is never just a horse.

Well, I'll be in the barn tomorrow morning, if you change your mind, and I sure hope you do.

Because even if Mickey wasn't your idea, he definitely doesn't deserve to be alone all day in a stall.

We need all the help we can get, especially since we're carrying dead weight.

That'd be you.

Yeah, I got that.

Thanks.

JADE: So what's the plan? The plan is simple.

We bring the herd down from the high country.

We make sure we arrive back here with the same number of cows we leave with.

Now if nobody does anything stupid, we'll be back in time for the fall festival tomorrow 'cause Lou's wants us all there. What are you doin'?

Uh, it's just a selfie.

I thought I'd post it before I lose signal.

You stay in the back at all times.

If you have a question, you ask it.

Don't pretend you know what you're doing 'cause I'm sure you don't. And don't try being a hero either.

You got it?

Got it.

What about a cowboy hat?

- Do I need one?

- No.

No.

- LOU: Morning.

- AMY AND GEORGIE: Morning.

(CUTLERY CLINKS)

Apple?

Oh!

- Are you kidding me?!

- GEORGIE: What?

What's wrong?

This, this article says that I used taxpayers' money to renovate my office.

Oh, snap!

Truth to power!

It's not the truth!

Are you kidding me?!

I had a plumbing leak and I had to fix it.

It says here that you even bought a new couch.

Well, because the old one was soaked through.

This is totally ridiculous.

Yeah.

Rick, we need to call the Hudson times and get them issue a retraction.

I'm talking about the article on page six.

Well, then get off your Peloton and read it!

(TRAILER DOOR BANGS SHUT)

(HORSE SNORTS) Oh, are we going rollerblading?

I know people around here seem to think cowboy hats protect their heads, but there's no way I'm risking getting a concussion.

Okay, well, we do have riding helmets for that, but you're not gonna need one today.

I'm not forcing you to take riding lessons - if you're not interested.

- Really?

Really.

But that doesn't mean that you don't learn how to take care of Mickey 'cause, like it or not, he's your responsibility now.

Okay?

So I thought that maybe we'd start by just taking him for a walk, on foot, in the field.

He can get used to his surroundings and you can start to build a connection with him.

I'm pretty sure Mickey will just form a connection with whoever feeds him.

No.

Horses form bonds that go a lot deeper than that.

I know girls my age are supposed to think that horses are magical, but...

I just don't buy it.

Maybe I can change your mind on that, huh?

He seems like a pretty nice horse.

I think you got a special here.

(MICKEY THUNDERS AWAY, GRUNTING)

Was that supposed to happen?

I don't know.

They're not going to print a retraction.

Why not?

Because there's nothing in the article that isn't true.

What are you talking about?

None of it is true.

They were repairs, not renovations.

Unfortunately, repair or renovation of any sort comes under scrutiny when they're paid for out of public funds.

What was I supposed to do, just stand there and let my office flood?

If you'd asked my opinion, I'd have recommended moving to a different office until maintenance could deal with it.

Their budget is already established and wouldn't have required expenditure of new funds.

(ANNOYED EXHALE)

In the future, I would appreciate if you would share these opinions with me.

- Gladly.

- Thank you.

Actually, there is something I've been meaning to bring up, in regards to the Fall Harvest Festival barbecue.

I noticed you instructed the planning committee to rethink their beef supplier.

Oh, I didn't instruct.

I just suggested that my family could provide Heartland beef at cost.

We could save the town hundreds of dollars, and besides, the beef at the barbecue is always terrible.

You're absolutely right, but it would be better if the new supplier wasn't directly related to you.

I mean, at best it could be seen as nepotism, at worst, lining the pockets of your family business with public funds.

This is ridiculous.

I would be saving the town money.

That's not gonna be the headline, is it?

I just bought the property a few weeks ago.

Haven't had time to take it down yet.

Oh!

My dad bought a horse named Mickey from here.

Yeah, I remember.

Is there a problem?

Nothing serious.

We were just hoping to get a little background information on the horse.

Oh, I don't know much.

Most of the livestock came with the property.

I'm not really in contact with the previous owner.

You know, it's funny, there was somebody else here a couple of days ago asking about Mickey.

Really?

Said he just wanted to check in on him.

Seemed really disappointed Mickey was sold.

I sent his contact info to Dr.

Yang, but I have no idea if they connected.

Oh, Dr.

Yang's on his honeymoon, so he might not get the message for a while.

Tell you what, can you do me a favour?

Can you please pass on my contact information to that gentleman and have him get a hold of me?

- Yup.

- Thank you.

- TIM: Hah!

JACK: Good job!

Yah!

- Any sign of the last three?

So what do we do now?

We don't do anything, we leave 'em, and we just take care of the rest of the herd.

All right, why don't you guys go on ahead?

I'll, I'll keep searching.

Because that's not how we do things.

We keep moving.

What happens to the lost cattle?

Well, if another rancher finds them, they'll return them to Heartland, right, Jack?

Yeah, if we're lucky.

If they don't get stolen or picked off by coyotes.

Okay, Jack, I think the guy feels bad enough.

I didn't think I'd ever see Mickey again.

Thank you for asking Carol to get in touch with me.

Yeah, of course.

I'm really sorry they didn't tell you New Day was closing.

I haven't been a client there for years, not since I left for university.

But whenever I'm in town visiting my mom, I always drop in to see Mickey.

Well, it's clear you two have quite the connection.

Yeah.

You picked a great horse.

You're lucky.

Yeah, people keep telling me that.

(CHUCKLING)

Parker here is a bit skeptical.

I just don't think I'm really a horse person.

Neither was I.

Not even close.

I would've never gone to New Day if my mom hadn't forced me to.

- Why did you need therapy?

- Parker...

Sorry.

My parents are shrinks.

We overshare.

It's okay.

I went for a lot of reasons.

Mostly because I was feeling angry.

Angry about what?

I moved here with my mom five years ago.

I knew I was supposed to feel grateful to be so far away from the w*r back home in Syria, but all I could think of was my friends and family I was forced to leave behind.

I didn't know anyone, and my mom was working all the time, so I was alone a lot.

The owners of New Day, they were regulars at the restaurant my mom worked at.

They invited me to check out their stable.

The first time I heard of equine therapy I thought it was crazy.

(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

So what made you change your mind?

I guess it was the small things: grooming him, cleaning out his stall, learning to put on his saddle.

It's hard to explain, but I felt he needed me, and that helped.

But the truth is, I needed him more.

Thank you...

for giving me the chance to say one last goodbye.

Take good care of him, he's a very special horse.

(MICKEY WHINNIES)

I don't get it.

Why is Mickey suddenly acting so chill?

I'm not sure.

Maybe he just needed a chance to say goodbye to Ibrahim.

You know, sometimes, when someone goes away suddenly, they leave a hole.

And we wanna fill that with all the things that we never got a chance to say or do, but we can't 'cause...

'cause they're gone.

I'm really glad Mickey and Ibrahim had that chance.

Maybe he can come visit Mickey sometimes.

Yeah, maybe.

Jade told me about what happened to your husband.

I'm really sorry.

Thanks.

I don't think I'll ever have the same kind of connection with Mickey like he had with Ibrahim.

Maybe he deserves a better owner than me.

Actually, I think he's got a pretty good one.

- It's good.

It's been a while since you worked with a horse, hasn't it?

Yeah, I guess it has.

I wasn't really planning on working with him.

I just wanted to show Parker how to take care of her new horse, but then Mickey started acting weird.

Did you figure out what was going on with him?

Yeah.

He used to have this really close connection with this guy named Ibrahim, I think he was missing him.

So I was able to track him down.

He came out to the ranch.

Seeing them together was so amazing.

Aw...

- Okay.

I'm about to make you look really good in front of Jack and Tim.

Mommy...

Did Daddy make you breakfast?

You're a lucky girl.

(FOOTSTEPS THUD)

(WHOOSH)

Made you some tea.

Thanks.

(TEA POURS)

(ALARM CHIRPS)

No.

Please no.

No!

It's okay.

I just set an alarm, so I'm not late for work.

Well, I better get going.

Ty, wait.

What is it?

I love you, Ty.

I love you too.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, Amy.

Here.

(LOW HUM OF CHATTER)

Protect our bees! It's important.

We have to save our bees!

Save the bees! Well, it sure is nice to see Katie and Parker getting along so well.

You know, there's an idealistic version of myself that would be right in there with those kids, fighting for what's right. And that version of me, she's not jaded, or bitter.

She's hopeful and passionate.

She's...

she's why I got into politics in the first place.

So what do you think happened to her?

She got buried under a mountain of paperwork.

- (JACK CHUCKLES)

- Save the bees!

Ah, you'll find her again.

I know you will.

Something doesn't smell right.

That's not Heartland beef.

I had to go back to the old supplier.

- Why?

- It's a long story.

So, we found the missing cows.

It was no big deal.

Yeah, but I think Jack's still holding on - to a little bit of a grudge.

- (CHUCKLES)

Yeah, well, he does that sometimes.

(SIGHS)

I really messed this up.

No.

Grandpa can be stubborn, but he'll come around.

You'll see.

So what about you?

Did you have a chance to think about Florida?

What?

Think about it?

Are you considering not going? Well, I just...

I don't know if now is the right time, you know, with everything that's... that's happened.

Georgie, you're gonna pass up an opportunity to train at Magnolia Glades?

I can stay, if, if that's what you need.

You know, what I need is for you to grab every opportunity that comes your way.

You're young, you're talented, just get out there and be amazing.

I was right.

It's not Heartland beef.

So I would suggest you don't eat it.

Really?

It smells so good though.

Uh, no, it d... doesn't actually.

It's (SNIFFS), it's gross.

It's... awkward.

All right, I'm gonna go check on my stepsister.

- Yup.

- See how the revolution's going.

- Foot in your mouth.

- I know...

ALL: (LAUGHING) - Try that.

- Thank you.

I guess.

Listen, Quinn...

I uh...

this cattle drive, it um...

it brought back a... a few memories for me.

If it seemed like I was a little tough on you, well, I guess I was.

And I'd like to...

You don't have to apologize, Jack.

Yeah, I do.

- Yeah.

- Thanks.

So...

anyway, we're uh...

we'll be taking them back up there in the spring, so if you're around, I hope you can join us.

I'll be there.

So, do you got a sign for me?

You wanna join the protest?

Well, don't look so surprised.

I love honey.

It's one of my top five favourite condiments.

- Don't be a hater...

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Welcome everyone to the annual Hudson Fall Harvest Festival.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

You know, we throw this party every fall to celebrate our incredible community.

And I'm reminded today that an important part of that community is our young people.

I applaud you for showing up today and fighting for what you believe in.

And that's why I have decided to make a personal donation to the Canadian Bee Research Fund, and I encourage everyone else here to do the same. I am also going to be forming a committee to look into ending the future use of bee-harming pesticides.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Thank you for...

reminding me that fighting for what you believe in matters, and thank you for making this town a better place.

- There she is.

- (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

- Now everyone enjoy the party!
