OK.

CHEAP SHOT!

TAKES WHAT IT TAKES,

[ Horns honking ]

[ Heavy breathing ]

HEY!

[ Truck horn blares ]

[ Horns honking ]

[ Crash ]

[ Bystander: ]
OH, WHAT HAPPENED?

HEY,
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING, HUH?

CAN'T YOU LOOK
WHERE YOU'RE GOING?

YOU COULD HAVE
KILLED SOMEBODY.

LOOK AT MY BIKE,
MAN.

WHERE'D YOU
LEARN TO DRIVE?

AN AMUSEMENT PARK?

[ Tires screeching ]

HEH HEH, YEAH!

HEY, CAL.

WHAT'S UP
WITH THE BIKE?

OH, NOTHIN'.

CAN I COME IN?

CALLIE!

[ Music from headphones ]

CAL.

YOU PROMISED
YOU WEREN'T GOING TO RACE
IN TRAFFIC ANYMORE.

I WASN'T RACING.

YOU WERE RACING!

AND YOU ARE LYING.

I SAW
THE WHOLE THING.

THESE KIDS
YOU'RE HANGING OUT WITH
AND THOSE STUPID STUNTS,

I CAN'T STAND IT,
CALLIE.

YOU COULD
HAVE BEEN HURT.

YOU COULD
HAVE BEEN KILLED.

CAN'T YOU EVER THINK
BEFORE YOU ACT?

I WON'T DO IT
AGAIN.

YEAH,
I'VE HEARD THAT BEFORE.

WELL, I GUESS
IT DOESN'T MATTER NOW.

MY GRANT WAS APPROVED.

WE'RE GOING
TO ENGLAND?

CALLIE...

WELL, THAT'S COOL.

THAT'S REALLY COOL.

CALLIE, I'M GOING
TO ENGLAND...

ALONE.

WHAT?

I'M SORRY,
CAL.

I WANTED
TO TAKE YOU WITH ME.

I DID.

I WAS LOOKING FORWARD
TO A SUMMER TOGETHER.

BUT I CAN'T HAVE YOU
TEARING AROUND LONDON

GETTING INTO CAB WRECKS,
RISKING YOUR LIFE.

I WON'T.
I SWEAR!

THIS PROJECT
IS VERY INTENSE,

IF I DON'T PUBLISH
BY SEPTEMBER,

I WON'T GET TENURE.

YOUR STUPID JOB.

THAT'S ALL
YOU CARE ABOUT.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

IT'S FINE.

THERE'S
NO WORRIES.

I'LL JUST...

I'LL JUST
STAY HERE BY MYSELF.

I CAN'T LEAVE YOU ALONE
WHEN I'M HERE.

I AM CERTAINLY NOT GOING
TO HAVE YOU

BY YOURSELF
WHEN I'M GONE.

OH, NO!

NOT AUNT MAGGIE.

AUNT MAGGIE?

OLD McDONALD MAGGIE?

E-I-E-I-O?

NO, I'M SORRY.

NOT IN THIS
LIFETIME.

IT'S FOR THE BEST.

[ Cows mooing ]

CALLIE,
YOU LIKE COWS?

I DON'T EAT BEEF.

OH, WELL,
HOW ABOUT HORSES?

I PREFER CARS.

WELL, HERE WE ARE.

CATCH.

I'LL GET SOMEONE TO HELP
WITH THE REST OF YOUR LUGGAGE.

[ Horse whinnies ]

[ Distant talking ]

[ Whinnies ]

WHOA!

WHOA!

COME ON.

COME ON,
COME ON, NOW.

CALM DOWN.

TURN AROUND.

THAT'S IT.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!

WHOA, BOY.

EASY.

WHOA.

EASY, NOW.

WHOA, BOY.

EASY.

YEAH, THAT'S IT.

WHOA.

STEADY.

WHOA, BOY.

EASY NOW.

THAT'S IT.

STEADY.

RAFE, I TOLD YOU
BEFORE

YOU'RE GONNA
GET YOURSELF KILLED.

NOW STAY AWAY
FROM THAT HORSE!

HEADS UP.

AAUGH!

GET THAT HORSE
OUT OF THERE.

HEY,
WHAT'S GOING ON?

OW!

GET
MY HORSE, HERE.

SNAP, YOU ALL RIGHT?

WHAT'S GOING ON
IN THERE?

IT WAS THAT KID.

HORSE WOULD HAVE
KILLED HIM.

SNAPPER,
YOU ALL RIGHT?

HE WAS
SETTLING DOWN.

YOU STAY AWAY
FROM THAT ANIMAL.

YOU KNOW
HOW DANGEROUS KIA CAN BE.

HE'S OFF LIMITS TO EVERYONE,
EXCEPT SNAPPER.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

YEAH.

COME ON, NOW.

GET THAT HORSE PUT UP.

GIVE ME A HAND
WITH SNAPPER HERE.

[ Mitchell: ]
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S WRONG WITH KIA--

SUCH GOOD BREEDING.

[ Snapper: ]
IT JUST DOESN'T FIGURE.

THAT HORSE
IS MAKING ZERO
PROGRESS, MITCHELL.

HE'S A LOST CAUSE.

HOW BAD
HE HURT YA?

A FEW BRUISED RIBS,
MAYBE TWO BROKE.

THAT HORSE COULD
KICK YA INTO NEXT WEEK.

THE VET THOUGHT HE MIGHT
HAVE ENCEPHALOMYELITIS,

BUT THE TEST
CAME UP NEGATIVE.

I THINK WE GOTTA SERIOUSLY
CONSIDER PUTTING HIM DOWN.

WELL, I'M NOT READY
TO TAKE THAT STEP
JUST YET.

FACE IT, MITCHELL.

OUR BREEDIN' EXPERIMENT
DIDN'T WORK.

WE PROBABLY CROSSED LINES TOO
CLOSE--GOT A MUTANT OFFSPRING.

WE GOT A LOT OF MONEY
INVESTED IN THAT HORSE.
MITCHELL...

CONTINUE
TRAINING HIM.

THAT'S WHY
I BROUGHT YOU HERE.

[ Clears throat ]

YEAH, THEY'RE
JUST BEAUTIFUL,
AREN'T THEY?

I WANT
TO BE STRAIGHT
WITH YOU, CALLIE.

WHEN YOUR AUNT MAGGIE
INVITED YOU HERE,

I WASN'T SURE
WHAT WE WERE GETTING INTO.

I SURE DIDN'T ASK
TO COME.

WELL, I KNOW.

BUT YOU'RE HERE AND
THAT'S A PLAIN FACT.

BUT, WELL,
JUST SO THERE'S NO
MISUNDERSTANDINGS,

I THINK
WE SHOULD GET THINGS
CLEAR BETWEEN US,

YOU KNOW, RIGHT
AT THE BEGINNING.

YEAH,
LIKE WHAT?

WELL, EVERYONE PULLS
HIS WEIGHT AROUND HERE.

THERE'S A LOT OF WORK
ON A RANCH,

AND I'M GOING
TO GIVE SOME TO YOU.

I'VE ASKED RAFE
TO TEACH YOU TO RIDE,

DO SOME CHORES...

MEET HIM IN THE HORSE
BARN IN THE MORNING.

HE'LL BE WAITING.

RAFE...

THE GUY WHO TRIED
TO CALM THE HORSE?

THAT'S HIM.

WHAT'S WITH
THAT BLACK HORSE?

OH,
THAT'S A LONG STORY.

WHAT TOOK YA
SO LONG?

DANGEROUS FOR ME
TO BE AWAY.

SOMEONE AT THE
RANCH MIGHT NOTICE.

THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM.

MR. WELLS
WANTS TO KNOW

WHEN HE CAN TAKE DELIVERY
OF HIS HORSE?
SOON.

FOSTER'S NOT READY
TO GIVE UP, YET.

THEN STEAL IT.

WHAT ARE YOU,
CRAZY?

YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

IT'S TOO EASY
TO TRACE.

WELLS HAS
TO BE PATIENT

AND FOLLOW THE
ORIGINAL PLAN.

MR. WELLS IS NOT
A PATIENT MAN.

SO, WHAT IS YOUR STORY?

HI,
YOU MUST BE CALLIE.

MITCHELL SAID
YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO TEACH ME SOMETHING.

NICE TO MEET YOU, TOO.

LESSON ONE
IS WHAT COWBOYS CALL
JUICIN' THE COW.

JUICIN' THE COW?

HERE, PUT THIS ON.

I NEED A HAT
TO MILK A COW?

TRUST ME.

IT KEEPS THE COW'S HAIR
OR WHATEVER

FROM GETTING
IN YOUR HAIR.

GROSS.

NOW, GRAB THE BUCKET
IN YOUR RIGHT HAND

AND STOOL IN YOUR LEFT
AND COME HERE.

WHAT'S HER NAME,
ANYWAY?

CALLIE,
MEET BOSSY.

[ Moos ]

PUT YOUR FOOT HERE
IN THE STIRRUP, AND THEN...

GOT IT?

NOW, YOU TRY.

UHH.

THERE'S A REASON
NOT TO WEAR THOSE
KIND OF SHOES.

HERE,
LET ME HELP YOU.

[ Grunts ]

[ Man: ]
MR. WELLS IS CONCERNED

YOU MIGHT BE TRYING
TO DELIVER DAMAGED MERCHANDISE.

[ Snapper: ]
THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH THE HORSE.

A LOT OF TIME
AND MONEY

WENT INTO SELECTING
A MARE AND SIRE,

BOTH WERE STRONG
BAR D AND SWING RANCH
BLOODLINES.

WITH THAT BLOODLINE,

HE'S POTENTIALLY ONE
OF THE FINEST STUDS
IN THE COUNTRY.

AS LONG AS YOU
CAN DELIVER.

I KNOW A HUSTLE
WHEN I SEE ONE.

I MEAN,
ON THE ONE HAND,

HE'S TELLING
THIS GUY THAT KIA'S
A GREAT HORSE,

AND ON
THE OTHER HAND,

HE'S TRYING
TO CONVINCE MITCHELL
TO DESTROY HIM.

I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING
ABOUT THAT HORSE.

I COULD SETTLE HIM DOWN IF
SNAPPER'D GIVE ME A CHANCE.

RAFE,
THIS IS SERIOUS.

SOMETHING'S GOING ON
AND IT'S NOT RIGHT.

THANKS.

LET'S GET BACK
TO WORK.

I FEEL LIKE A PRISONER
ON A CHAIN GANG.

YOU LOOK
LIKE ONE, TOO.

EASY, KIA.

WHOA, BOY.

YOU GONNA SOLVE
ALL MY PROBLEMS?

STEADY, BOY.

THAT OUGHTA DO IT.

[ Laughs ]

THAT REALLY
OUGHTA DO IT.

[ Laughs ]

GET WILD, BOY,
GET WILD!

[ Laughs ]

[ Neighing ]

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

HE SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS.

IT'S NOT WORTH IT,
MITCHELL.

HE SHOULD
BE PUT DOWN.

BEFORE YOU DO THAT,
MITCHELL,

LISTEN TO WHAT
CALLIE HAS TO SAY.

LAST NIGHT,
HE GAVE KIA A SHOT

THAT MADE
HIM WILD.

WHAT'S SHE TALKING
ABOUT, SNAPPER?

JUST DOING WHAT THE VET
TOLD ME TO DO.

I GIVE HIM
VALIUM EVERY NIGHT.

TO KEEP HIM
UNDER CONTROL.

HOW COME HE GOT
SO CRAZY, THEN?

VALIUM HADN'T
TAKEN EFFECT,
I GUESS.

MAGGIE, SNAPPER KNOWS
WHAT HE'S DOING.

YOU GOT ENOUGH
PROBLEMS OF YOUR OWN

WITHOUT GETTING
INVOLVED

WITH SOMETHING
YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

YOU OWE SNAPPER,
HERE, AN APOLOGY.

CALLIE...

[ Sighs ]

SORRY, SNAPPER.

AHHH, DON'T THINK
ABOUT IT.

KIDS ARE LIKE THAT.

NOW THE REAL
QUESTION...

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO
ABOUT THE HORSE?

I GUESS THERE'S NO
REAL CHOICE, IS THERE?

SURE DON'T WANT HIM
TO HURT SOMEBODY ELSE.

OF COURSE NOT.

MITCHELL,
YOU BRED THAT HORSE
TO BE A CHAMPION.

DON'T
GIVE UP ON HIM.

LOOK AT HIM.

MAGGIE, I GOT A FORTUNE
SUNK IN THAT HORSE.

YOU THINK
I WANT TO SEE THAT
ALL GO DOWN THE DRAIN?

CALL THE VET.

MAKE THE ARRANGEMENTS.

[ Snorts ]

HMMM...

COME ON.

OH, COME ON.

HERE YOU GO.

COME ON.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT.
GOOD BOY.

YOU'RE STILL TEACHING ME
HOW TO DO STUFF, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

WELL, THIS IS
THE MORNING FEED.

THAT'S ALL THEY GET.

THEY'LL EAT
THE WHOLE BARREL
IF YOU LET THEM.

SO?

THE OATS LIE
IN THEIR STOMACH,

THEY CAN GET COLIC,
AND THEY CAN DIE.

BUMMER.

SO, HAVE YOU THOUGHT
OF A PLAN YET?

A PLAN?

YEAH, A PLAN.

TO SAVE KIA.

TO SAVE KIA?

IS THERE AN ECHO
OUT HERE?

AN ECHO?

SNAPPER HAS CONVINCED
MITCHELL TO PUT KIA DOWN.

WHEN?

I DON'T KNOW.

HE WENT OFF
TO CALL THE VET.

SO HOW ABOUT THIS...

WE STEAL KIA.

NOT PERMANENTLY
OR ANYTHING.

JUST FOR
A LITTLE WHILE.

AND WE TRAIN HIM.

YOU DO KNOW HOW TO TRAIN
A HORSE, DON'T YOU?

YOU'RE NUTS.

AND WHAT IS THIS
"WE" BUSINESS?

I DON'T NEED
SOME CITY GIRL

TELLING ME TO RISK MY JOB
TO STEAL MY BOSS'S STUD.

THE ONLY THING
I CAN'T FIGURE OUT
IS WHERE TO HIDE HIM.

BUT I'M SURE WITH ALL
THE YEARS YOU'VE LIVED HERE,

YOU KNOW
OF A PLACE.

COME ON, RAFE,
HELP ME.

I COULD
GET IN TROUBLE.

I NEED THIS JOB,
CALLIE.

BUT IT'LL WORK.

WE CAN
MAKE IT WORK.

YOU AND ME TOGETHER.

I JUST CAN'T.

WELL, I CAN

AND I'M NOT LETTING HIM
KILL THAT HORSE.

WHAT IS IT WITH YOU
AND THAT HORSE?

SNAPPER'S A SNAKE
AND I DON'T TRUST HIM.

SNAPPER IS ONE
OF THE BEST TRAINERS
IN THE COUNTRY.

WHO WAS THAT CREEPY GUY
I SAW HIM WITH?

SNAPPER LIKES
TO GAMBLE.

IT WAS PROBABLY
SOMEONE FROM THE TRACK.

IF YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO HELP ME,
I'LL DO IT MYSELF.

LOOK, YOU'LL HAVE THE HORSE
SOON ENOUGH.

HANG ON.

YOU WATER
THE FOALS YET?

UH-HUH.

GOOD.

TAKE OFF, THEN.

I GOT THINGS TO DO.

I'M BACK.

DON'T WORRY.

LIKE I SAID,

I'LL TAKE CARE
OF EVERYTHING.

YOU'LL HAVE YOUR HORSE
SOON ENOUGH.

[ Tapping ]

OK, YOU WIN.

I KNOW A PLACE.

MEET ME BEHIND THE STABLES
AT DAWN.

IT WILL TAKE US AWHILE
TO RIDE UP THERE.

RIDE?

WAIT...

ME?

DAWN?

HOW MUCH FURTHER
IS IT?

DID YOU HAVE TO BRING
THIS STUPID BACKPACK?

WOW!

HERE WE ARE.

MY FATHER
BROUGHT ME HERE
WHEN I WAS LITTLE.

HE TOLD ME
THE ANCIENT ONES
LIVED HERE.

LATER,
THE SHOSHONE USED IT
FOR SECRET MEETINGS.

THEY WERE
COMPLETELY HIDDEN,

BUT COULD SEE
ENEMIES APPROACHING

FROM THE LOOKOUT POINT.

DO YOU EVER
COME HERE ANYMORE?

ONCE IN AWHILE,
YES.

WHEN I NEED
TO BE ALONE.

DOES ANYONE ELSE
KNOW ABOUT IT?

NOBODY AT THE RANCH,
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.

WE CAN KEEP KIA HERE
TIL HE'S TRAINED...

IF HE CAN BE TRAINED.

YAH, YAH!

GET UP THERE.

YAH!

COME ON THERE.

COME ON.

YAH, YAH!

YEAH, THAT'S IT.

YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD,
RACHEL.

THANKS, MAX.

YAH, YAH!

[ Neighs ]

YAH!

[ Clanking ]

DARN IT!

HUNGRY?

I'M GOING
ON A PICNIC.

WITH?

MYSELF.

THAT'S AN
AWFUL LOT OF APPLES
YOU GOT THERE.

I MAY BE GONE
FOR A LONG TIME, SO...

AREN'T YOU
FOSTER'S NIECE
FROM NEW YORK?

THAT'S ME.

WHAT'S IT LIKE
IN NEW YORK?

SOPHISTICATED.

WELL...

GEE WHIZ, YOU GUYS,
YOU KNOW...

I'M JUST BUSHED,

I THINK
I'M GOING TO HEAD OFF
AND GO TO SLEEP.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.

COME ON.

JUST LET ME TRY.
HE TRUSTS ME.

WOULD YOU PLEASE
JUST BE QUIET.

YOU'RE MESSING
EVERYTHING UP.

DID ANYONE
EVER TELL YOU

HOW NICE YOU'D BE
IF YOU'D JUST BE NICE?

HEY, DOC.

THANKS FOR COMIN'.

WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD
FROM YOU BEFORE NOW?

CUZ...

EVERYTHING'S
BEEN FINE.

THE VALIUM WORKS GREAT,
JUST LIKE YOU SAID.

I OVERDOSE HIM
AND IT MAKES HIM
TOTALLY CRAZY.

FOSTER REALLY BELIEVES
HE'S GOT A DEFECTIVE ANIMAL.

WELLS' PEOPLE
VISITED ME THIS AFTERNOON.

THEY'RE TIRED OF WAITING.

THEY WANT
THAT HORSE, TONIGHT.

THAT OUGHT TO WORK OUT
JUST PERFECT.

FOSTER'S FINALLY DECIDED
TO DESTROY HIM.

GLAD TO HEAR YOU FINALLY
GOT YOUR ACT TOGETHER.

YOU BRING THE DOPE?

BE CAREFUL WITH THIS.

IT'S NOT VALIUM.

YOU GIVE MORE THAN 100 CCs,

YOU REALLY WILL HAVE
A DEAD HORSE ON YOUR HANDS.

EASY, BOY.

EASY, BOY.

HURRY UP!

I'M TRYING.

LET ME TRY.

NO,
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW.

COME ON.

EASY, KIA.

YOU'RE NOT DOING
SO GREAT YOURSELF.

HERE, BOY.

HERE.

THINK NOBODY
EVER HEARD OF CARROTS
BEFORE YOU GOT HERE?

HERE, KIA.

GOOD BOY.

SEE?
I TOLD YOU
I COULD GET HIM TO DO IT.

SURPRISED YOU, HUH?

GUESS I KNOW
MORE ABOUT HORSES
THAN YOU THINK.

I THINK
WE SHOULD BE QUIET
FOR THE REST OF THE WAY.

IT WON'T BE LONG
BEFORE THEY'LL
START LOOKING.

YOU'RE JEALOUS.

NOPE,
JUST WORRIED.

DID THEY FIND HIM?

NOT A TRACE.

MOST OF THE MEN
HAVE BEEN OUT
ALL NIGHT.

WELL,
I HOPE HE'S NOT HURT.

MAYBE WE SHOULD
OFFER A REWARD.

OH,
YOU LOOK GREAT.

LOOK AT HER,
MITCHELL.

DOESN'T SHE
LOOK GOOD?

GREAT.
WOW.

EVERYTHING OK,
CALLIE?

SURE, WHY?

HEY, WAIT UP.

WHERE YOU GOIN'?

TO MEET RAFE.

MY, YOU TWO ARE
GETTING AWFULLY CLOSE.

OH, YEAH.

WE'RE ALREADY
TALKING ABOUT WHAT
TO NAME THE KIDS.

VERY FUNNY.

SO, WHAT
ARE YOU UP TO?

AW, YOU KNOW...

EXPLORING.

LATER...

HOW YOU DOING,
CALLIE?

OH, FINE.

SEEMS KIA BROKE OUT
OF HIS CORRAL.

OH...

FUNNY, THOUGH.

THESE BREAKS ARE
AWFUL CLOSE TOGETHER...

AND SMALL...

FOR HOOF MARKS,
THAT IS.

COME TAKE A LOOK.

HMMM...

WELL, WHATEVER.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW
ABOUT THAT STUFF.

YOU GOT ALONG REAL WELL
WITH KIA, DIDN'T YA?

HE EVEN LET
YOU FEED HIM ONCE.

YEAH,
ONLY FOR A SECOND.

AND THEN HE RAN OFF.

I THOUGHT
HE WAS PRETTY MEAN.

THAT HE IS.

THAT HE IS!

YOU LOOK LIKE
YOU'RE HEADING SOMEWHERE.

BETTER BE
GETTING THERE...

WHAT,
NO BLACK?

I JUST THOUGHT
THIS WOULD BE COOLER.

COME ON.

I'M JUST TEASING.

YOU LOOK GREAT.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

SO WHAT NOW?

WE FEED HIM.

GRAB THAT BUCKET
OVER THERE.

TODAY, YOU'LL LEARN
TO GROOM AND FEED.

YEAH, WELL,
WHAT ABOUT RIDING?

YOU KNOW, REAL RIDING.

FIRST THINGS FIRST.

YOU GOTTA LEARN TO FALL
BEFORE YOU CAN RIDE.

WHOA, NOW.

EASY, BOY.

EASY, BOY.

EASY, EASY.

COME ON, BOY.

EASY, BOY.

EASY.

COME ON, KIA.

EASY, BOY.

EASY, BOY.

EASY.

[ Neighs ]

STUPID HORSE.

[ Mumbling ]

WHAT?

I SAID, "THIS CRAZY HORSE
HAS THE SPIRIT OF A COYOTE."

WHY A COYOTE?

THE SHOSHONE
REVERE THE COYOTE.

LEGEND SAYS THAT
HE IS A TRICKSTER

WHO TESTS OUR
PATIENCE IN LIFE.

HIS PRESENCE
IS ALWAYS A SIGN.

YEAH, WELL, WHY
IS IT ALWAYS A "HE"?

AREN'T THERE
ANY FEMALE COYOTES?

THERE ARE.

WHO'S THAT?

THAT'S MY GRANDFATHER.

HE'S CALLED MOPEAH.

ARE WE IN TROUBLE?

NOT WITH HIM.

LEAVE THE LIGHT.

MR. WELLS
IS VERY UNHAPPY

ABOUT THE WAY
THINGS ARE GOING.

WHAT'S THE HURRY
ALL OF A SUDDEN?

MR. WELLS NEEDS TIME

TO GET THE HORSE
TO THE BUYER IN MIAMI.

HE'S SCHEDULED TO LEAVE
FOR SOUTH AMERICA NEXT WEEK.

IF HE HAS TO RETURN
TO ARGENTINA EMPTY-HANDED,

THE DEAL'S OFF.

YOU'LL HAVE TO WORK OUT
YOUR DEBTS TO MR. WELLS

SOME OTHER WAY.

ONE WEEK...

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

YOU'D BETTER
MAKE IT POSSIBLE.

CALLIE...

OH,...HI.

HI.

HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH
OF YOU THIS WEEK.

OH, I KNOW.

RAFE'S BEEN
SHOWING ME AROUND.

IN THE FUTURE,
WOULD YOU LET ME KNOW
WHERE YOU ARE?

I MEAN,
YOUR MOTHER CALLED YESTERDAY,

AND I DIDN'T
KNOW WHERE YOU WERE AGAIN.

SHE'LL GET OVER IT.

CALL HER TONIGHT, OK?

I THINK WE NEED
TO HAVE A LITTLE TALK.

BUT I'M...

NO BUTS.

I HOPE THIS DOESN'T
MAKE YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE,

BUT I, I REALLY NEED
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT...

WELL, WHAT YOU AND RAFE
ARE UP TO.

I MEAN, MITCHELL AND I...

WE'VE KIND OF
FIGURED IT OUT, AND WE...

OH, AUNT MAGGIE,
PLEASE DON'T BE ANGRY.

WE WERE JUST
TRYING TO KEEP...

I KNOW.

I WAS YOUR AGE ONCE.

I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO FALL IN LOVE.

I DO.

OH..., YEAH...

WELL,
YEAH, WE JUST...

I DON'T KNOW.

HE'S JUST THE COOLEST
GUY AND CUTE...

SO CUTE.

WHICH IS WONDERFUL.

I MEAN, COOL AND CUTE AND...

WE'RE JUST FRIENDS.

GOOD.

I'M GLAD
YOU HAVE A FRIEND.

YOU SEEM
SO MUCH HAPPIER.

YOUR MOTHER
WAS VERY WORRIED.

WE ALL WERE.

THE ONLY KIDS
MY MOTHER IS WORRIED
ABOUT ARE IN LONDON.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

YOU SHOULDN'T BE
SO HARD ON HER, CALLIE.

IT'S BEEN
VERY TOUGH FOR HER
TO RAISE YOU

AND EARN A LIVING
ALL BY HERSELF.

YEAH, I KNOW,
I KNOW.

IT HAPPENS.

YES, IT DOES.

LOOK AT RAFE.

HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
HIS MOTHER.

HOW COME?

SHE DIED GIVING BIRTH
TO HIM.

SO...

YOU SEE,
YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

PEOPLE DO UNDERSTAND,

MAYBE MORE
THAN YOU THINK.

LET'S GO.

HEY, RAFE.

HI.

OK, HAVE FUN.

KEEP AN EYE
ON THIS ONE.

AHH, HE WILL.

ISN'T THERE
AN EASIER WAY
OF GETTING THERE?

YEAH,
IT'S HALF THE DISTANCE

UP THE BACKSIDE
OF BALDY MOUNTAIN.

YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO
TAKE IT RIDING DOUBLE.

IT'S STEEP AND DANGEROUS
AND NOT FOR BEGINNERS.

OHH, I CAN'T
STAND IT ANYMORE.

WHAT'S IN HERE,
ANYWAY?

HEY, THAT'S NONE
OF YOUR BUSINESS.

YOU NEED TO CARRY THIS
EVERYWHERE YOU GO?

STICKS AND A
STUPID OLD KNIFE.

SHHH.

WHAT?

NOTHING, I GUESS.

WE'RE BEING
FOLLOWED.

I DON'T SEE ANYONE.

YOU WERE RIGHT.

SNAPPER KNOWS.

ARE YOU SURE?

ONE WAY
TO FIND OUT.

SEE, IT'S
NOTHING.

YOU JUST HAVE A
GUILTY CONSCIENCE.

SHHH!

SEE? WHAT
DID I TELL YA?

[ Neighs ]

WHOA...UHH!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

ARE YOU CRAZY?

DON'T YOU KNOW
YOU COULD KILL SOMEONE?

HE'S STILL DOWN.

COME ON.

LET'S GO.

WHERE?

TO GET HIM,
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I'M SORRY, OK?

I JUST WANTED TO...

KIA AND...

I WASN'T THINKING.

IT DIDN'T HIT HIM,
DID IT?

WHAT IF HE'S DEAD?

WHERE IS HE?

CHARLIE'S RIGHT HERE,
SNAPPER, HE DIDN'T RUN OFF.

YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT.

IS HE ALL RIGHT?

A LITTLE DELIRIOUS.

SNAPPER,
YOU HIT YOUR HEAD.

COME ON,
WE'LL HELP YOU HOME.

HERE,
TAKE A DRINK.

WELL, I GUESS

IT'S A GOOD THING
FOR SNAPPER

THEY SHOWED UP
WHEN THEY DID.

IT WILL COST HIM
THREE DAYS' WORK,

AND HE STILL
HASN'T FOUND KIA.

MAY I BE EXCUSED?

SURE, HONEY.

[ Sighs ]

YOU KNOW,
OUR PLAN'S NOT GOING
TO WORK, DON'T YOU?

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

SO WHAT
IF KIA COMES BACK TAME.

THAT WILL
KEEP HIM ALIVE,

BUT IT WON'T DO
WHAT HE WAS BRED TO DO.

I'M NOT GETTING
YOUR DRIFT.

LOOK, FOSTER
WANTED A CHAMPION.

THAT'S WHAT
MAKES HIM VALUABLE.

WE CAN PROVE
THAT HE'S NOT CRAZY
OR SICK OR WHATEVER.

WHAT WE CAN'T PROVE IS THAT
HE'S GOOD, REALLY GOOD.

ONLY HE CAN DO THAT.

HORSES FROM ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY COMPETE.

IT'S A BIG DEAL
FOR BREEDERS AND TRAINERS.

OH, YOU MEAN
WE CAN ENTER KIA?

NOT IN A SHOW EVENT.

IN THE BIG RACE--
THE CROWN INVITATIONAL.

AND IF KIA WINS
THE BIG RACE...

AND IF
I TRAINED HIM...

OHHH, KILL TWO BIRDS
WITH ONE STONE.

PROVE KIA A CHAMPION...

AND YOU AS HIS TRAINER.

I WORKED SO HARD
FOR A CHANCE LIKE THIS.

SO, HOW DO WE GET HIM
IN THE RACE?

THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS.

HE'S ALREADY REGISTERED
IN ALL EVENTS.

HAS BEEN
SINCE HE WAS BORN.

THE BAD NEWS--
KIA BARELY LETS
US SADDLE HIM.

HE'S NOT READY
FOR ANY RACE--

ESPECIALLY NOT
THE CROWN INVITATIONAL.

EVEN IF HE WAS,
I'M TOO BIG
TO BE A JOCKEY.

WELL, I COULD DO IT,
COULDN'T I?

YOU?

YEAH, WHAT HAVE
WE GOT TO LOSE?

WHAT THE HECK?

IT'S WORTH A TRY.

RAFE, YOU'VE
BEEN NEGLECTING

THAT NEW HORSE
YOU WERE BREAKING.

YOU'D BEST BE GETTING
TO IT TODAY.

I WAS HOPING
TO TAKE CALLIE
OUT RIDING

ALONG THE RED CLIFFS.

I THINK MAYBE YOU TWO

GOT A LITTLE MORE GOING ON
THAN RIDING LESSONS.

HUH?

RAFE, YOU BETTER GET
TO THAT GELDING.

HE DEFINITELY KNOWS.

WE'VE GOT TO GET
KIA OUT OF THERE.

KIA!

MAYBE HE JUST
GOT OUT.

WE'LL START
SEARCHING THE AREA.

I'M TELLLING YOU,

I LOOKED
AND HE'S NOT THERE.

AND THERE'S NO WAY HE COULD
HAVE GOTTEN OUT BY HIMSELF.

WHAT IF
SNAPPER FOUND HIM?

MEET ME
BEHIND THE STABLES
WHEN I'M DONE HERE.

[ Thunder ]

WE HAVE TO
PACK IT IN.

IT'S GETTING LATE.

CAN WE START FIRST THING
IN THE MORNING?

YEAH.

HONEY,
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

I STARTED
TO WORRY.

WELL, WE WERE OUT ALONG THE
RED CLIFFS AND IT GOT DARK.

I'M SORRY.

I SAVED
DINNER FOR YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M REALLY TIRED.

THANKS ANYWAY.

SORRY I'M LATE.

THE ALARM
DIDN'T GO OFF.

WE'VE GOT TO
FINISH MILKING
BEFORE WE GO.

WOW!

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
UP REALLY EARLY.

I WANT TO START LOOKING
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

YOU TWO
LOSE SOMETHING?

LIKE A HALF-WILD
HORSE, MAYBE?

YOU STEAL HIM?

WHERE IS HE?

I SAVED KIA'S LIFE.

TWO DAYS AGO WHEN
I SAW YOU TWO LEAVE

I DECIDED TO SEE
WHERE YOU WERE GOING.

SO I FOLLOWED YOU
TO YOUR HIDING PLACE

AND I SAW
YOUR GUEST.
YOU WHAT?

WHAT IS
HER PROBLEM?

LET HER TALK.

GO ON, RACHEL.

THEN YESTERDAY
WHEN CALLIE LEFT
BY HERSELF,

I KNEW
SOMETHING WAS UP.

I THOUGHT
I COULD SHORT-CUT IT
BY CROSSING BALDY.

ON THE RIDGE WAITING,

I SAW SNAPPER
FOLLOWING YOUR OLD TRAIL

TOWARDS KIA'S
HIDING PLACE.

I RAN DOWN
AND I GOT HIM OUT

BEFORE SNAPPER
COULD GET THERE.

SO WHERE IS HE NOW?

HE'S AT MY
BROTHER'S RANCH.

OH, YES!

THANK YOU, RACHEL.

I'M SORRY WE JUMPED
TO CONCLUSIONS.

YOU MEAN,
YOU'RE SORRY SHE DID.

WAIT, THAT'S NOT...

SHOE POLISH
AND A HAIRCUT.

DIDN'T WANT ANYONE
RECOGNIZING KIA

WHEN HE'S GOT
A PRICE ON HIS HEAD.

SO, WHAT
DO WE DO NOW?

WE?
IT'S ONLY BECAUSE
OF ME THAT HE'S HERE.

SHE'S RIGHT,
CALLIE.

WE'RE ENTERING KIA IN
THE CROWN INVITATIONAL.

REALLY?

WHO'S RIDING?

YOU'RE JOKING?

WELL, I'M NOT
SURE YET.

SHE'S DOING OK,
BUT SHE HASN'T HAD
MUCH TIME.

WHY NOT
LET ME DO IT?

REALLY?
YEAH.

THAT WOULD BE...

RACHEL'S A GOOD RIDER,
CALLIE.

IF SHE'S ON KIA,
WE MIGHT HAVE
A REAL SHOT.

YEAH, BUT I DON'T
THINK IT'S FAIR.

IT WAS MY IDEA.

I WAS THE ONE WHO...

IS THIS ABOUT
YOUR RIDING KIA
OR WINNING THE RACE?

OK, WHATEVER.

KIA WILL NEED AS
MUCH RIDING TIME
AS HE CAN GET

IN TRAINING
FOR THE RACE.

AND I CAN
STILL TEACH YOU.

EASY NOW.

EASY BOY.

EASY, BOY.

EASY, KIA.

EASY.

WHOA.

EASY.

COME ON.

HOLD IT, RAFE.

WHOA, KIA!

WHOA!

DA!

THAT'S ALL
IT TAKES.

WHOA.

EASY.

COME ON, KIA.

WHOA.

EASY, KIA.

WORK WITH ME, KIA.

COME ON.

EASY.

LOOKING GOOD.

EASY, BOY.

EASY.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

EASY, BOY.

WHOA, BOY.

WHOA!

COME ON, CAL,
BE AGGRESSIVE.

SHOW HIM WHO'S BOSS.

I'LL SHOW HIM
WHO'S BOSS, ALL RIGHT.

WHOA, GOT HIM!

YEAH, THAT'S IT.

YOU GOT HIM.

OH, YEAH.

YOU GOT HIM.

WHOA.

YEAH.

WHOA!

ALL RIGHT.

WHEW.

WHY IS HE DOING THAT?

HE'S A
CUTTING HORSE.

IT'S PART
OF HIS BREEDING.

ONLY THIS SILLY HORSE
THINKS HE'S A BARREL RACER.

A WHAT?

IT'S A COMPETITION
WHEN A HORSE RACES
AGAINST THE CLOCK

AROUND BARRELS
SET IN THE GROUND.

SOUNDS LIKE FUN.

TO YOU, MAYBE.

JUST FOR FUN,
TRY RUNNING KIA UP
AND AROUND THE BARREL.

HAH! HAH!

COME ON, BOY.

COME ON.

HAH!

YAH!

WHOA.

GOOD BOY.

GOOD BOY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, BOY?

YOU READY
FOR A REAL RIDE?

THAT'S VERY GOOD,
CALLIE.

I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE SUCH
A GOOD ARTIST.

THANKS.

THAT'S A GREAT LIKENESS.

I'M SURPRISED
YOU REMEMBER
WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.

YEAH.

UMM, I HAVE SOME
GOOD NEWS.

YOUR MOM CALLED
THIS MORNING

AND SHE FINISHED HER
RESEARCH PROJECT EARLY

AND SHE'S GOING
TO BE COMING HERE
TO SPEND SOME TIME

BEFORE THE TWO OF YOU
GO HOME TOGETHER.

WE'RE NOT LEAVING BEFORE
NEXT WEEKEND, ARE WE?

NO, WHY?

IS SOMETHING IMPORTANT
GOING ON?

OH, NEXT WEEKEND.

THAT'S THE
CROWN INVITATIONAL.

IS THAT IT?

OH, RIGHT.

WELL, MITCHELL
AND I ARE SPONSORS.

KIA WAS GOING TO RUN
IN THE 2-YEAR-OLD RACE.

YOU KNOW,
SOMETIMES IT HELPS
TO CONFIDE IN AN ADULT.

ABOUT WHAT?

REMEMBER CALLIE,
SNAPPER'S NOT A STUPID MAN.

ANY NEWS ON KIA?

I THINK MAYBE
I'VE BEEN BARKING
UP THE WRONG TREE

BY LOOKING FOR HIM
IN THE CANYON.

ALL RIGHT.

YAH!

YAH!

HEY,
SORRY I'M LATE.

HOW WAS HE?

HE WAS GREAT.

WE BEAT LAST YEAR'S
WINNING TIME.

COOL.

OH,
AND GET THIS.

MY BROTHER WILL LOAN US
HIS TRUCK AND HIS TRAILER.

WE'RE SET THEN.

OH, AND I ALREADY
TOLD MY MOM

I'D BE SLEEPING OVER
AT RACHEL'S, SO...

YOUR MOM IS HERE?

YEAH, SHE JUST CAME IN
THIS MORNING.

NOT THAT
I CARE AT ALL.

YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW LUCKY YOU ARE,
DO YOU?

JUST WAIT
TIL ONE DAY
SHE'S NOT HERE.

YOU WON'T
LIKE IT MUCH.

OH, I JUST MEANT
THAT I DON'T REALLY...

YOU DON'T
APPRECIATE ANYTHING.

RAFE, WAIT.

I'M GOING TO
GO GET CLEANED UP.

I'M SORRY.

LOOK, I KNOW
ABOUT YOUR MOTHER

AND THAT WAS A
REALLY STUPID THING
FOR ME TO SAY.

DON'T WORRY
ABOUT IT.

IT'S OK.

NO, I MEAN IT.

I'M SORRY.

IT'S JUST HARD
SOMETIMES,

AND YOU
JUST THROW IT AWAY.

YOU DON'T REMEMBER
YOUR MOTHER, DO YOU?

MY DAD TOLD ME
SHE HAD MORE SPIRIT

THAN ANYONE
HE'D EVER KNOWN.

LIKE YOUR MOTHER.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT WHAT MY MOTHER'S LIKE?

SHE RAISED YOU ALONE,
RIGHT?

SHE MUST HAVE
A STRONG SPIRIT.

YEAH, WELL
SHE'S GOT A ROTTEN...

I GUESS,
MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.

TRUCE?

TRUCE.

HEY, MOM.

HEY.

I'M, UH...

I'M SORRY
ABOUT BEFORE.

BEFORE WHEN?

I DON'T KNOW.

JUST BEFORE.

THANKS.

COME HERE.

I'M SORRY
I HAD TO LEAVE YOU, CAL.

BUT IT WAS ONLY
FOR THE SUMMER

AND NOW I'M BACK
AND I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE,

NOT WITHOUT YOU.

YEAH, I KNOW.

I LOVE YOU, CAL.

DON'T EVER FORGET THAT,
OK?

OK, KIA.

12 HOURS FROM NOW
YOU'LL BE ON A RACETRACK.

I HOPE YOU'RE READY.

I HOPE WE'RE READY.

HEY, DON'T WORRY.

EVERYTHING'S
GOING TO BE OK.

YOU'LL SEE.

WE BETTER GO.

WE SHOULDN'T KEEP
THE BIRTHDAY BOY'S
BARBECUE WAITING.

I THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY
AND THIS LIFE...

AND FOR THIS FEAST.

AND I THANK YOU,
MY FAMILY,

FOR HONORING ME
ON THE DAY OF MY BIRTH

WITH THIS TRADITIONAL FOOD
INSTEAD OF HAMBURGER HELPER.

[ Laughter ]

OK, LET'S FEAST.

SO, IS EVERYONE READY
FOR A GOOD STORY.

[ All together: ]
YES!

IT'S TRADITION
THAT THE ELDERS TELL STORIES.

THAT WAY THE OLD STORIES
SURVIVE NEW GENERATIONS.

MOPEAH ALWAYS DOES IT
ON HIS BIRTHDAY.

COYOTE WAS OUT HUNTING ONE DAY
WHEN SNAKE APPEARED.

"COYOTE," HE SAID,
"DON'T GO HOME.

"A MONSTER
WHOSE SIZE FILLS THE VALLEY

"SUCKED UP ALL THE ANIMALS
WITH HIS HOT BREATH."

COYOTE KNEW
THAT HE COULD NOT LIVE IN FEAR,

SO WITH HIS BUNDLE OF STICKS
AND FLINT KNIFE

HE SET OFF FOR THE VALLEY.

HE FOUND THE MONSTER.

IT STRETCHED
FROM RIDGE TO RIDGE.

AND HE CALLED OUT,
"HO THERE, MONSTER.

"WHY ARE YOU IN MY VALLEY?"

THE MONSTER THREATENED
TO SWALLOW UP COYOTE
ON THE SPOT,

BUT COYOTE
KNEW HOW TO BRAG...

"YOU DON'T SCARE ME,"
HE SAID.

"MY MAGIC
IS MORE POWERFUL."

THE MONSTER JUST LAUGHED

AND SWALLOWED COYOTE
WITH ONE HOT BREATH.

WHAT DID COYOTE DO?

HE LANDED
IN THE MONSTER'S STOMACH

WHERE ALL THE ANIMALS
WERE CRYING.

SO HE MADE THEM FOLLOW HIM
THROUGH MANY CHAMBERS

UNTIL THEY SAW
THE MONSTER'S HEART
SWINGING ABOVE THEM.

SO COYOTE, WITH HIS STICKS
AND FLINT KNIFE,

LIT A FIRE.

BEFORE LONG, THE MONSTER
SHOUTED, "COME OUT, COYOTE.

"COME OUT!"

BUT COYOTE
ONLY THREW ANOTHER STICK
IN THE FIRE.

WHEN THE CORDS THAT HELD UP
THE HEART BURNED THROUGH,

THE MONSTER'S HEART FELL
AND HE DIED.

OH, BUT WAIT.

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART
IS YET TO COME.

AFTER THE ANIMALS
ESCAPED THROUGH THE
MONSTER'S OPEN MOUTH,

THEY ALL RAN HOME.

BEAR SAID,
"LEAVE THE BODY HERE TO ROT."

COYOTE WOULDN'T ALLOW THAT

AND HE BEGAN
CARVING UP THE MONSTER.

THE THIGH BONE
HE THREW TO CHIEF MOUNTAIN

NEAR THE MONTANA GLACIERS

SAYING, "THERE WOULD
LIVE A LONG-LEGGED RACE."

FROM THAT LAND
COME THE TALL BLACKFEET.

AND THE MONSTER'S FAT
TOSSED TO THE BLACK HILLS.

AND THERE
CAME THE ROUND SIOUX TRIBE.

THE WHITE RIBS THROWN
TO THE MISSION MOUNTAIN RANGE
IN MONTANA,

HOME OF
THE SQUAT FLATHEAD INDIANS.

WHEN HE WAS DONE,
THE MONSTER'S BODY WAS GONE.

"WAIT," SAID RABBIT.

"YOU'VE SAVED NOTHING
FOR THIS VALLEY."

BUT COYOTE SMILED
AND LOOKED AT HIS PAWS.

A FEW DROPS
OF THE MONSTER'S BLOOD
WERE LEFT ON THEM.

HE SPRINKLED THE BLOOD
ON THE VALLEY FLOOR.

"THE TRIBE THAT GROWS HERE,"
HE SAID,

"WILL BE THE FIERCEST
IN BATTLE

"AND STRONGEST IN HEART."

AND WHO CAME
FROM THAT VALLEY?

[ All together: ]
THE SHOSHONE!

EXACTLY.

YOU ARE ONE
OF THE LUCKY ONES.

LIKE RAFE,
YOU HAVE FOUND
YOUR PROTECTOR.

KEEP THIS.

YOU'LL KNOW WHY.
