Heartland (2007–…): Season 10, Episode 17 - Dreamer - full transcript

Previously on "Heartland"...

The reason I invited Mitchfor dinner
yesterday

was that we wanted
to tell everyone about us.

About our relationship.

Maybe luch at Maggies tomorrow?

- You're sure?
- Positive.

Hanging out, having lunch.

That's what friends do, right?

W-we're going back.

Bob? What's going on? Where is Ty?

Well, Ty is a little sick
and he missed his flight.



I need to see him.

And I'll have him on a
plane as soon as I can.

I promise.

Um, excuse me.

My husband Ty Borden, he was brought
here by an ambulance. Is he okay?

Why don't you have a seat.

I'll let the doctor know you're here.

Thank you.

What did they say?

We have to wait for a doctor.

I don't get it? He was totally fine

when we got on the plane,
but he just got worse and worse.

Well,
he's getting the help he needs now.

That's all that matters.



Hey,
pretty good arm you got on you.

Turns out throwing
stuff is very therapeutic.

Bad day at the office?

One of our major investors

just pulled out at the last minute.

I guess she doesn't like
our design or location;

things she should have
mentioned months ago.

Sorry, babe.

What?
You can find another investor, right?

Yeah. Not this late in the game.

Nicole and I are actually talking

about pulling the plug
on the whole thing.

Honestly, I am, sort of, relieved.

I mean, believe me,
the failure part drives me crazy,

but at least I wouldn't
have to travel so much.

I could spend more time at
home with the girls and you.

I am sure you'll figure
this investor thing out.

You always do.

But let's say hypothetically

- you decide to give it all up...
- Oh yeah?

Spend some more time here at the ranch,

wouldn't exactly be complaining.

What would I do with all that free time?

- I have a few ideas.
- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.
- Like what?

Well...

Hold that thought.

Grandpa? Hi, grandpa.

Lou, listen, I'm at the,
I'm at the hospital.

Is Amy having the baby?

No, it's not Amy, it's Ty.

He collapsed when he got off the plane.

- What, is he okay?
- Well, we don't know.

By the time we got to the airport,

the ambulance had already left.

Okay, I'll be right there.

No, Lou, you don't have to do that.

You just stay put for now.

I'll, I'll call you as
soon as I hear anything.

I gotta go!

Are you Ty Borden's wife?

Yes I am. Is he all right?

Your husband has severe pneumonia.

He was hypotensive when he came in,

but we've stabilized him

and put him on some antibiotics.

Is there something I should know

that might explain why he's so sick?

A preexisting condition?
Something like that?

No, but he was in Mongolia
for the last four months.

Yeah, I was with him.

He's been sick off and on,
but nothing like this.

Just the flu.

He seemed better when
he got on the plane.

What part of Mongolia were you in?

The Gobi desert. In a camp.

Okay, what were the conditions like?

Hm. Pretty rustic,
but we had clean water.

It seemed okay.

What about lice or fleas?

There were ticks.
Ty got bitten a few times.

Okay,
I'm gonna run a few tests

and I'll get back to you
as soon as I know more.

Can I see him?

Not until we know whether
or not he's contagious.

He's gonna be okay though, right?

Well,
if he responds to the antibiotics, yes.

But I have to be very honest with you,

your husband is very sick.

- I'm worried about sepsis.
- What is sepsis?

It's what happens when the
body's response to infection

starts to injure its own organs.
It's very serious.

But we're going to do everything we can

to make sure it doesn't happen.

I'll update you as soon
as I know something.

Thank you.

Hey.

What part of don't come to the hospital
did you not understand?

Hi.

How are you doing, honey?

I'm okay.

Good. So what do we know?

Ty has pneumonia.

Pneumonia?

Well, that's treatable, right?

It's bad.
They don't know why he is so sick.

What do you mean
they don't know why?

Well, they're trying to figure it out.

Well, that's unbelievable. Excuse me.

Dad.

I need to see the doctor who's
taking care of Ty Borden.

- And you are?
- I'm Tim Fleming.

- I'm his father-in-law.
- Dr. Holt will be out

just as soon as she can with an update.

I need to see Dr. Holt right now.

I'm afraid she's very busy.
If you just take a seat...

You I don't seem
to hear what I'm saying,

I'm not gonna sit 'til Dr. Holt
comes here and speaks to me.

Okay. Yelling at the
nurse isn't gonna help Ty.

I'm sorry. Come here.

I was very clear with you on the phone,

- you shouldn't come here.
- I came to see how Ty's doing

and then I'm gonna kill him

for scaring everybody half to death.

You need to lay back down, okay?

The doctor gave you a
sedative to help you rest.

It should start taking
effect pretty soon.

Now don't fight it.

Just breathe in and out. Nice and slow.

In and out. In and...

Hello?

Somebody in there?!

Hello?

Okay,
are you sure I can't bring you anything?

Okay.

No, I will. I will.

All right, honey, bye.

- So what did he say?
- Doctor is doing tests.

Why can't we go to the hospital?

They're not letting anyone in
to see Ty right now, honey.

- Still?
- Mm-mm.

- Hello.
- Dad!

Hi.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- I missed you, kiddo.
- I missed you too.

What are you, what are you doing here?

I'm visiting today, what,
did I get this wrong or...?

No, it's on the schedule.

Oh my God.

I'm sorry it completely slipped my mind.

With everything that's been... going on.

Okay. I should go anyways.
I have work to do in the barn.

Okay.

- Peter.
- Hey, Mitch.

Um...
I-I thought Ty was getting home today.

I figured there might be
a dinner or something,

is that...

What?

It's ridiculous.

So how long they gonna
make us wait out here?

It hasn't been that long.

I'm sorry, did I ask for your opinion?

Oh, give it a rest.

You know, you know,
Ty would not be in this mess

- if it wasn't for you.
- Is that right?

I don't know who the bigger idiot is.

You for dragging him
half way around the world

into the middle of nowhere

or Ty for following
you there like a sheep.

He didn't follow me anywhere.

How come you didn't call for help Bob,
huh?

He had blue cross coverage;
I know he did,

'cause I called to double
check before he left.

- Why didn't you call a doctor?
- Dad!

- He said he was fine.
- Well, he wasn't fine, Bob.

- How was I supposed to know!
- Well, you should have known!

Oh, You weren't there!
You don't know what

- you're talking about.
- This is on you, Bob!

Okay. Okay, stop, dad!
Why do you always do this?

- Do what?
- You bully everyone around.

You think it's helping,
but it just making everything worse.

I mean, why don't you just go home.

Well, you need me.

No. No, I am nine months pregnant,

and my husband is there sick
and they won't let me see him.

I am tired and I am scared to death,

so I will tell you what I need

and right now I need you to leave.

Can we please go to the hospital?

I can't sit around anymore.

Look, it's driving me crazy too,

but Amy said she wants us to wait here,
okay?

She gets to call the shots right now.

That's how it works.

- I have to do something.
- You wanna do something?

Finish hanging up your laundry.
And when you're done that?

You can work on your book report.

The best thing right now
is to keep ourselves busy.

Hey, look, this whole thing,
uh, with the investor.

I know it feels like a tough blow,

but you've got a sound
business plan there.

Everything looks great.

You not gonna have any
trouble finding another one.

- I hope so.
- Well, it's true.

I actually have a friend

who invests pretty heavily
in the hospitality industry.

I don't mind making some
introductions if you want.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

I tucked Katie in,
but she is now requesting her daddy.

Oh, well isn't that nice.

I'm on my way.

- Um, Peter.
- Mm.

I would really appreciate it
if you would put me in touch

with your investor friend.

Yeah, no problem.
I'll make some calls tomorrow.

Great. Thanks.

Are you looking for investors?

One of my major backers
in the Maggie's franchise

- pulled out today.
- I'm really sorry.

Are you sure that you
want to involve Peter?

- He's just doing me a favor.
- I know.

But favors that involve money
get complicated, always.

Lisa, it's not like that.

I know it's not like that.
It starts with a simple call

to an investor friend...
just take it from somebody

who's in the horse breeding business

with her ex-husband, it's a minefield.

And there is a reason
that Peter is your ex.

Please don't go into business with him.

Trust me.

No, please have a seat.

I, um... okay.

I think I know what
we're dealing with here.

What is it?

Ty has something called relapsing fever.

He got it from a tick bite.

It's easy to treat,
but only in the early stages.

If he had taken antibiotics
a month ago he'd be fine,

but now the disease has
weakened his immune system

to the point where he's struggling

- to fight this pneumonia.
- Okay, so what do we do?

We continue the antibiotics, and fluid.

Uh, with any luck we'll see
progress in the next few days.

- Few days?
- It's okay.

- I do have some good news.
- What's that?

Tick born illnesses
are transferred from:

tick to person not person to person,

- so he's not contagious.
- So I can go see him.

Of course.

But I'd prefer to keep
it just you for now.

You go on.

Okay.

Follow me.

I've given him a
sedative to calm him down

and help him breathe more evenly.

It seems to be working.

I'll come back in about an hour or so

and then I think that you should go.

No. I'm not gonna leave him,
not until he's better.

I'm not sure that's a great idea.

You must be close to term.
I'm not going to leave him.

I'll give you some privacy.

Hey... Ty,

it's me.

Amy.

Yeah. Yeah. Hey.

I'm right here.

I'm sorry.

What? No.

Don't say that.
You have nothing to be sorry about.

Hey...

Ty.

Hey.

I love you so much.

You're gonna be okay.

Let me in. Let me in...

Hello?

Agh.

Hey.

- Amy.
- Hey.

Yeah, I'm right here.

There's a house.

A house? What-what do you mean?

I used to live there.

I used to live there.

Ty.

- Amy.
- Hey.

Is this a good time?

Uh, yeah, come on in.

How is he?

He's much the same.

Georgie, it's okay.

You can come closer.

Hi, Ty.

He drifts in and out.

Doctors gave him something
to help him sleep.

Amy,
why don't you go home for a little bit.

You could have a shower, lay down,

Georgie and I can stay here with Ty.

I'm really glad you guys are here,

I'm not going anywhere.

I knew you would say that,
so I brought the essentials:

change of clothes, tooth brush,
trashy gossip magazines

and of course sandwiches,
in case you get hungry.

Thank you.

Georgie,
why don't you go down to the cafeteria

and get me a coffee and Amy
some hot water for her tea?

Yeah, sure.

Oh, sweetheart.

Adam?

- Hey.
- Hey?

He's just downstairs. I'll show you.

Thanks for coming.

- Who's downstairs?
- Ty.

Ty's here? Is he okay?

He has pneumonia.

Georgie, I'm sorry. I didn't know.

Then what are you doing here?

Olivia.
She had an accident this morning.

He just went crazy.

Budget Buster's never done
anything like that before.

We had a good training session.
Everything was normal.

And then right as I was
giving him to the stable girl,

he just attacked me.
I've never been so scared in my life.

Could something have spooked him?

I don't know, but my mom's super upset.

She said she's gonna
have to put Buster down.

What? You can't let her do that.

I can't stop her. Not unless I can prove

that it isn't Buster's fault.
Look, Georgie,

can you please talk to Amy. Maybe...

maybe if she takes a looks at him

she can figure out what happened.

I don't know,
her husband's really sick right now,

I don't think this is a good time.

Please. Just please talk to her,
I can't lose Buster.

Please.

I feel bad for Olivia, I do,

but I'm not leaving Ty.

Not to mention the fact that
you're nine months pregnant.

You shouldn't even think about
working with horses right now.

I told her it was a bad time.

Why don't you go look at Buster?

Me?

Yeah. You've got great instincts.

I don't know.

Olivia and I,
we're kinda like oil and water.

Okay, then don't do it for Olivia,

do it for Buster.

Hey.

Ty. Hey, hey.

I'm here.

You have some visitors.

Hi, Ty.

Georgie. Lou.

Hey.

Ty, you gotta hurry up and get better,
okay?

I got all kinds of plans
for a big coming home party.

Uh, I think it's too soon for visitors.

Ty needs his rest right now.

Sorry, we were just leaving.

Thanks.

Hey, how's Ty?
W-what did the doctor say?

Nothing. She just told us to leave.

Well, why-why didn't
you ask her what's going on?

We didn't have the opportunity.

What?
So you just left Amy there alone?

We stayed as long as we could.

I'm calling the hospital.

Oh, you are driving me up the wall.

Go away.

- Do something with yourself.
- Like what?

I could use a ride to Hillhurst.

Good. Perfect. Go now.

Fine.

- Bye, honey.
- Bye.

How'd the visit go?

Fine, I guess.

I mean, Ty slept through most of it.

And it's amazing how sick he looked.

But Amy's being strong
despite everything.

That's good.

I do have some news that I think

might cheer you up a little bit.

- You do?
- I do.

It turns out my friend is
actually very interested

- in the Maggie's franchise.
- Peter, that's amazing!

The only catch is,
he wants to meet tonight

- to discuss it over dinner.
- Tonight?

I don't know, Peter, I mean,
with Ty in the hospital...

I know. I know.

I mean, I can try to
reschedule but the thing is,

he's not in Calgary that often.

Once every couple of months.

It'll be too late by then.

What do you want to do?

Want me to cancel it?

Hey, can I help you?

Oh, I'm just looking for
Budget Buster's stall.

That's Olivia's horse.

Yeah,
I'm supposed to take a look at him.

He's right over there.

Do you need someone to
tack him up for you.

Uh, no, it's okay. I can do it myself.

Thank you.

Hey Buster.

Hi, bud.

You remember me, don't you?

Agh.

Easy.

Whoa-whoa-whoa, bud.

Whoa.

Hey, you're fine.

Whoa.

Ty?

Ty, it's Tim. I hope you can hear me.

I just want you to know that I am

still mad as hell with
you for going away

and I think it's because I knew

something like this was gonna happen.

I know that I have been
hard on you sometimes

and I'm sorry.

I think it's...

it's just my way of protecting Amy.

And I, I think you're aware of that.

And I admire you for taking it from me.

Ty?

Ty, you're a good man.

And you are...

you're gonna be a great father.

But you, you gotta get better son.

You gotta get better.

Dad.

I love you.

Easy. Whoa, Whoa.

Hey.

Whoa.

Relax.

I know... I know.

I know you love to jump,

so let's see what you can do.

Good.

Good boy.

Hey, Georgie.

Hey. Um,
I can call back if this is a bad time.

No, no, I'm just getting some air.

What's going on?

Um, well,
I took Budget Buster over some jumps

and he seems to be back to his old self.

That's good thing, isn't it?

I mean, I guess, but...

it can't be that simple, can it?

I didn't really do anything.

Well,
Buster started acting up for a reason.

You need to figure out what happened.

Well, how do I do that?

Look around. Tell me what you see.

Well... this place is really fancy.

All the grooms wear uniforms.

They do everything for the owners.

Bathing, feeding, mucking out,

grooming, you name it.

The owners just...
ride their horse and leave.

Yeah, that sounds like Hillhurst.

Well, when you're as rich as Olivia,

I guess you pay other people
to bond with your horse.

Maybe that's a good place to start.

What do you mean?

Well, last year,
Buster had spinal surgery.

He would have needed a
whole lot of hands on help.

If Olivia wasn't doing it then
someone at the stable was.

You need to figure out who.

Georgie, I should probably go.

- But good luck.
- Thanks Amy.

By millennial...

Leasing space in diverse locations...

Hey.

Hey.

Wow.

- Lou, you look beautiful.
- Thanks.

I thought we were just
gonna stay and drink this,

have a quiet night, but clearly,

you have other plans or...
I'm severely underdressed.

Mitch, I'm such a head case this week.

I'm sorry, I completely forgot.

It's okay. It's been a busy week, so...

All right, Katie's all tucked in.

- You ready to go? Hey.
- Hey.

Um... Peter and I are going for dinner

- with an investor friend of his.
- Oh, I see.

We're hoping that he could
replace the investor I lost.

It was, it was all sort of last minute.

Uh, cross my fingers for you.
For both of you.

- Good luck with the pitch.
- Thanks.

I do a lot of mucking out at my barn,
but...

I couldn't imagine if I
had all these stalls to do,

I think I'd go crazy.

It's Cheryl, right? I'm Georgie.

I'm Olivia's...

I'm trying to help her horse.

I asked around and they said
you used to look after Buster.

Yeah.

Did you know Olivia's mom
wants to put him down?

That woman has more money than brains.

Buster isn't a bad horse.

I didn't think so either,

but I can't figure out why
he lashed out at Olivia.

Yeah, it's not like him.

Buster, um...

He was my favorite.

He used to nuzzle me whenever
I would walk into the stall.

And he was so gentle.

Like,
he didn't have a mean bone in his body.

Why don't you look after him anymore.
What happened?

Um...

I got demoted.

- Now I just muck out.
- Why?

Last week,
my supervisor pulled me into his office

and told me that there is
a complaint about my work.

That's all I know.

Hello?

Is someone in there?

I'm here, Ty.

Dad?

Welcome home.

Nurse! I need a nurse!

Something's wrong.

What's happening? What...

His blood pressure is dropping.

Okay, what's he at?
- 76 over 50.

Okay, let's give him a 500cc
bolus of normal saline.

Amy, I'm going to do everything
I can to help your husband,

but you need you to give
me the room now, all right?

Okay.

No change.

Okay.
Well, let's start him on some dopamine.

10 mic's per kilo, per minute.

We got his blood pressure back up,

but I don't like his white cell count.

And his fever isn't leveling off.

He's septic, Amy. His immune system

is starting to attack his
own tissue and organs.

Why isn't he getting better?

He hasn't responded to the antibiotics.

I've started him on a new
one and hopefully it'll work.

Hopefully?

So what if it doesn't?

Oh no.

Is there someone I can
call to be here with you?

Yeah, please, um...

- call my grandpa.
- Okay.

I'm gonna go be with my husband.

She used to take care of Buster,

but I don't really know Cheryl.

She mentioned something about someone

complaining to her supervisor.

Do you know anything about that?

Olivia, if I'm gonna help your horse,

I need to know the truth.

Her job was to feed and groom Buster.

That's all, but she went way overboard.

She would spent hours with him everyday.

She would talk to him
and give him treats.

And when I got to the stable,

he would treat me like a total stranger.

You were jealous,
so you complained about her.

Buster went from having
all the attention he needed

to getting none. No wonder he acted out.

I don't know what to do now.
How can I help him?

Meet me at the barn tomorrow.
I'll show you.

Okay.

You're disappointed.

I can tell and, you know,
you shouldn't be.

He's giving you all
the funding you need.

Yeah, but only if you come
in as an investor as well.

Yeah, and I told you, Lou,

I am happy to put some
funds into your business.

Peter, I can't ask you to do that.

Well, you're not asking me.
I'm offering, okay?

And if it means the difference

between your franchise living or dying,

then you should accept.

Why don't we just talk
about it tomorrow, okay?

It's, it's just been a really long day.

- Have a good night.
- Good night.

Oh, good.

Mom.

What's going on?

We were about to take Katie
and drop her off at Vanessa's,

but now that you're here maybe
we can leave her with Peter.

Why? What happened?

We need to go to the hospital.

Things aren't good.

Are you okay?

- Hey.
- Hey.

Grandpa, I'm so glad you're here.

Listen,
why don't you go for a little walk.

Stretch your legs.

Uh,

I don't wanna leave him.

It'll be good for you and the baby too.

I'll stay here with Ty for a bit.
What do you say?

Yeah, okay. Thanks.

Jack...

Well, hello there.

He's in the house.

What's that?

My dad.

He's in the house.

Ty.

Ty!

Ty, Amy just stepped out
to get some fresh air.

But I'm here talking.

Well... I'm thinking mostly.

I know you never thought
much of your dad,

but I love how you gave him chances.

And when he didn't take them,

I know how much that hurt you.

Well, I never had a son...

until you showed up on my doorstep

with your motorbike
and your bad attitude.

And you grew up.

And you made something of yourself.

And you made me proud.

You are my son, Ty.

You are my son.

Well, don't just stand there, son.

Come inside.

Somebody!

I'm sorry,
but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

He's in cardiac arrest.

Okay, let's shock him at 360 joules.

I'm clear. Are you clear?

Clear.
- We're all clear.

No change. Still v-fib.
- Okay, resume CPR

and give him 1mg of epinephrine.

You gotta bring him back.

You hear me? You bring him back!

Sir, you need to leave. Please.

- I'm Clear.
- Clear.

We're all clear.

Dad?

Dad? Where are you?

You remember this place.
Don't you?

We were happy here.

You, me and mom.

And then you left.

- You abandoned us.
- Like you abandoned Amy.

Like father like son.

I'm not like you.

You're exactly like me.

Amy and the baby...
they're better off without you.

Let's go again. 360 joules.

I'm clear.

We're all clear.

No change. Still v-fib.

Dad, I wish you were still alive

so you could meet your grandchild.

So you could see that I'm
gonna be a good father

and a good husband.

And that I'm the kind of man,
you weren't capable of being.

And I never got to tell you this,

I never got to say...

that I forgive you.

I have to go now.

You're okay. You're okay.

Take a deep breath. Try and relax.

Try and relax. Try and relax.

That's good. That's good.

All right.

All right, nice work, everyone.

Your husband is stable.

He's fighting really hard.

And all we can do now is wait.

You can go on in.

Doctor.

Thank you.

I think I'm gonna go for a walk.

Okay.

Georgie.

Hey, is Olivia back in the hospital?

I'm not here to see Olivia.

Amy.

- Ty. Hey.
- Hey.

You know, you had us all pretty worried.

Amy.

What? What?

I can't wait.

For what?

To be a father.

Yeah.

You feel a lot cooler.
I think your fever's broken.

Mm.

Oh good, you're awake.

You'll want to hear this.

I got back your tests back from the lab,

and it looks like the antibiotics

are starting to work.

So,
if things continue to improve like this,

then I don't see why you
won't make a full recovery.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for everything.

This is great news.

Now, get some rest. Both of you.

Yes.

What's the word, honey? How's he doing?

He's gonna be okay.

He is.

- Sweetie.
- That is so good to hear.

I don't see what all the fuss is about,

I knew he'd be fine.

What?

I never doubted it for a second.

Dad.

Olivia, you remember Cheryl, don't you?

Yeah. Hi.

Hi.

So I guess Georgie told you?

Look, I wasn't trying to replace you.

I know Buster's your baby, but...

he needed someone to take care of him,

- you weren't here.
- I know.

I'm sorry.

If you want a better
relationship with Buster,

you need to learn to bond
the way him and Cheryl did.

- I'll show you.

Why would you help me?

Because you're gonna

Okay, um, lesson number one...

he doesn't like carrots.

I saw you trying to
feed him one last week.

After the surgery,

and honey as a treat.

Good boy.

The baby's kicking up a storm.

Yeah.

That's our baby.

That's our baby.
