02x07 - Horsenapped

[bunniefuu]

CaroleHe hogs the phone,

he uses all my stuff without asking,

including my toothbrush,

and he's always making personal remarks.

But you've got to admit--he's a great rider.

And he's kind of cute looking.

Saddle Clubbers,

can I ask for a little bit of sympathy here?

Oh, nice round.

Perfect.

DorotheeBravo, Murray.

No mistakes, but more importantly, control.

Carole?

All it takes is control, Carole.

Yeah, when I need advice from you,

I'll quit riding.

Ooh, touchy.

MurrayDon't forget, control, Carole.

You rushed him, Carole.

MurrayOh!

Tough break.

He can sure push Carole's buttons.

Yeah... it's such fun to watch.

Creep.

Wish me luck with my music exam.

You'll be fine.

Carole, it's not the end of the world.

See you.

I knock poles off all the time.

Don't have a cow, Carole.

It's better than being one.

DorotheeYou're a natural, Murray.

Thank you.

No, it's not good.

It means you think you don't have to train.

Heh. Did you hear that, Carole?

She thinks I'm a natural.

It's good we've been seeing such a lot of each other.

I'll be able to give you some pointers.

[Horse whickers]

Carole.

I saw that, Carole.

You're mucking out the stables

for the rest of the day.

But, Red--

I'll help.

[Murray Laughs]

StevieYou've just got to look on the bright side, Carole.

I mean, take Phil, for example.

We had a great date,

a great time all around.

I thought it was the beginning

of something big.

Then nothing.

No phone calls, no nothing.

I haven't turned invisible, have I?

Come on, Carole,

Murray's got his own problems.

He just lost his dad.

[Sighs]

Maybe another thing could be, well,

you know, with your dad having feelings

for Murray's mom,

you're feeling left out

and you want to get back at him.

Thanks, Stevie.

Nice try,

but you don't have to live with him.

Murray is a total twisted creep

who's trying to get inside my head

and mess with it.

I could use a soda.

What about you?

No thanks.

I wouldn't mind being alone for a bit.

VeronicaI saw it in "Glam"

and just had to send away for it.

You've got to send away.

I mean, you just can't get this sort of sophistication

at Willow Creek!

The shopping is pathetic here.

Don't you just love the little flowers?

Mm, red roses.

Symbol of love. How romantic!

How hot!

Was it expensive?

I used dad's credit card.

He's going to crazy when the statement comes in.

Hi.

I haven't seen much of you around, Phil.

Haven't seen you round much either.

Oh, I've been around,

if you wanted to find me.

Same here.

So it's up to me to find you?

Well, if I can't find you--

Did you look?

What for?

Because I thought we were friends.

Did I miss something?


Is there something wrong with me?

I'm not that bad looking, am I?

Can I help you with something?

Pardon?

Are you looking for someone?

Non.

Oh hi, Dorothee.

You didn't see a stranger wandering around in here,

did you?

A stranger? Non.

Everything seems OK.

Everything is OK, isn't it?

Of course.

Everything is fine, Stevie.

[Knock at the door]

You're late.

Yeah.

You OK?

I've just been shoveling manure for two hours, so...

I've been better.

Sounds like punishment detail.

Yeah.

Why?

Murray was driving me nuts, so...

so I did something back,

which I shouldn't have done.

I know Murray rubs you the wrong way,

but you' got to cut the kid some slack.

He's having a tough time at the moment

because of his dad's death.

I know that,

but why does he have to stay here?

Larry was a good friend,

so it's out of respect for a buddy

as much as anything else.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

It won't be for long.

But I think you should try talking to him.

Hi, guys.

Look, we really need our glassware.

Huh? What?

Yeah, we wash the glasses

and then use them again.

But our system just won't work

if you take them home. So, please...

Well, well, well,

must have jumped in there like a frog.

Well, look at that,

it jumped right out of my hand.

Be careful, Carole.

Uh, let me just get this up.

Apology accepted. What?

I just hope you've learnt your lesson.

Murray, I came here to--

to say sorry. About time too.

Who do you think you are?

I know who I am.

But you think you're a nice person.

Are you really?

I'm glad I pushed the horse into you,

and I'd do it again.

You've got a control problem, Carole.

Oh, no.

Sorry, Scooter.

She doesn't mean it.

[Phone rings]

RedHello?

OK, be like that.

There was someone there, but they're not talking.

Oh, were you waiting for a call, Dorothee?

No, no.

Are you OK?

Yes, of course.

You look as though you've got something

on your mind.

You're a very sweet man, Red.

Actually, I should really thank you for pushing me

to get my instructor's accreditation.

You've got it?

Yup.

Bravo!

I'd really appreciate it

if you gave me some pointers though.

Of course.

Where shall I begin?

It's up to you.

Wow.

Let's work on that.

[Sighs]

I've tried, Mom.

He's hopeless.

[Door creaks open and closed]

[Floorboards creak]

[Overlapping chatter]

VeronicaHa ha ha!

Where is he?

Where's who?

KristiAnother lame, pathetic Saddle Club joke.

Which we don't get.


Well, nor do we,

'cause we don't know what you're talking about.

Where's Garnet?

KristiGarnet's missing.

As if you didn't know.

He probably woke up, thought,

"Oh, no, not another day of Veronica,"

and took off.

OK, OK,

have your fun.

We're going to the designer label sale

at the mall,

but I want my horse back in its stall

before I get back.

Got it?

Grow up, why don't you?!

VeronicaAnd make sure he's brushed and combed.

What was all that about?

Isn't Garnet there?

Even Veronica couldn't miss seeing a horse

in its stall, could she?

I don't know.

She has her mind on those bargains.

Not here.

Ah, maybe Red took him out.

Oh, my gosh!

"We have your horse.

"If you want it back,

"get $, in unmarked notes and wait.

"Don't call the police.

"If you tell anyone,

the horse will get hurt."

StevieI think we should tell Max now.

But look what the note says.

Garnet will get hurt.

Do you think they mean it?

We can't take any chances.

Anyway, I think I know who really did it.

Who?

Yesterday, I caught this guy wandering around.

He looked real suspicious.

Suspicious? Why?

He was foreign.

How could you tell?

He had an accent.

You can't be suspicious of people

just because they have an accent.

Dorothee has an accent.

That's the funny thing. they're both French.

And when I asked her if she'd she seen this guy,

I think she was covering up.

[Scoffs] Slow down.

Are you saying

this guy you think has Garnet

is a friend of Dorothee's?

Yeah, I do.

So you think Dorothee's in on it?

Dorothee already owns the best horse

in the stables.

Anyway, I know who really did it.

Who?

I'm not gonna say until I've proved it.

Murray?

Carole, you may not like the guy,

but come on!

OK.

But let's agree not to tell anyone

until I've checked Murray out.

He's only here because of me.

CaroleMurray, wait up.

Murray, I need to talk to you.

I haven't used your toothbrush.

I haven't got any of your CDs,

and I haven't taken anything that's not mine.

You did.

Oh really? What?

You took Garnet.

Garnet?

Veronica's horse.

You snuck out last night,

took him from Pine Hollow

and left a ransom note.

Have you finished?

I won't tell anyone if you go and get Garnet

and put him back unharmed.

Heh heh heh.

You've gone loopy, Carole.

I haven't taken any horse.

Then where were you coming back from

at in the morning?

I thought you of all people would understand.

I miss my father.

He hasn't been dead long, and...

when I can't sleep, I...

I walk.

Woman♪ Magic

♪ I feel noisy

[Car engine rumbles to a stop]

Alors!

Stevie, what are you doing in here?!


I've got him!

Ugh! One moment, Antoine.

Please, Stevie, you must let Antoine out.

Antoine!

Dorothee, huh?

I'm sorry, Antoine. She's just a kid.

Mmm, in France, the children are better behaved.

Stevie, I'd like you to meet Antoine Senes.

Antoine...

um...has come here to visit me.

Enchante.

Likewise.

[Floor creaks]

PhilHey, Stevie.

We've got to talk.

What have I done?

Nothing.

Then why are you freezing me out?

Well...because we had such a good time on our date

and then nothing.

Stevie, give me a break.

I've never had a girlfriend before.

I don't know what to do next.

There aren't any rules.

You...

you just do what seems right.

Well, do you want to see a movie sometime?

Great! That's settled.

Have you seen Carole?

Yeah, she was keeping out of sight,

following Murray.

Where were they heading?

Willow Creek Forest.

[Crows caw]

[Garnet nickers]

Carole, whispering; Garnet!

I knew it!

You're an idiot, Murray.

You shouldn't have come.

You better not have hurt him.

Or what? You'll make us pay?!

Who are these guys?

Oh, don't wimp out on us now, Murray.

It's time to make the call.

MurrayGuys, this whole thing's getting too heavy.

Why don't we pull the plug?

Because then we wouldn't make any money.

And that's why we came here.

Make...the call.

OK, send a text message.

"Bring $, to JB's tonight.

Tell no one, or else the horse will get hurt."

Don't do it, Murray.

Don't interrupt him.

[Phone beeps]

Good.

I bet you two have a lot to discuss.

We'll be just outside

in case you were thinking of doing anything...

you know, stupid.

Why, Murray?

You wouldn't understand.

Try me.

I borrowed money off those guys.

A lot.

Now I need to pay them back or else.

Why did you need to?

Because Mum and I have got nothing.

Dad had a gambling problem.

All our savings went down the drain.

Mum needed money, so I borrowed.

You saw straight through me from day one.

I'm such a loser!

Now I've messed up...

big time!

[Deep breath]

Poor Mum.

I'm sorry, Carole.

You were right.

It's about control.

Take it back from them.

Take it back from those creeps.

Do it, Murray!

[Sighs]

I'll help you.

[Metal door squeaks open, Garnet whinnies]

Hey! Where do you think you're going?

It's over, guys.

You worm!

[Garnet whinnies]

Mark, help me!

[Grunting]

ScooterHey!

[Truck engine rumbles]

StevieGarnet!

ScooterWhat's going on?

Hold it right there, sunshine!

Grrr!

I wouldn't.

These two don't look much,


but they bite.

So, you were right about Murray.

Not completely.

[Horses nicker and neigh]

Poor Murray.

He's gonna be OK.

I'm sorry, Mum.

Let's put it behind us, Murray.

I'm sorry, Colonel Hanson.

I admire the way you face the music, son.

MaxThe police will be here in a minute, but, uh...

it's not looking too bad.

Whatever happens...

I'm sorry for the things I've done in your stables.

StevieSo are your dad and Whitney, like, an item?

No. She got a job interstate.

VeronicaI still don't get it.

You steal my horse and make me worry.

What's the joke again?

It's a Saddle Club joke, Veronica.

It's sick, and no one laughs.

Veronica, did you get a message

on your phone earlier?

Ha ha ha! Very funny.

CaroleHey, Kristi, what was that about?

Like you didn't know.

Know what?

Her dad freaked when he got the last bill.

He confiscated her cell phone for a month.

She didn't even know Garnet was stolen!

Man on radio♪ Like a stranger...

My friends,

I have something to tell you.

RedWere you looking for me?

Please come in, Red.

I have been invited

by the French Olympic panel

to trial for selection

for the Olympic training squad as a junior.

Antoine Senes,

who some of you have already seen around the stables,

has come all the way here to test me.

LisaDoes that mean

you'll be leaving Pine Hollow, Dorothee?

If I trial successfully, yes.

Yes!
