Heartland (2007–…): Season 12, Episode 10 - All Hearts Lead Home - full transcript

55 seconds.

And that's your fastest time of the day,
folks.

Georgie, what is it?

Georgie!

And thanks again for
taking him this weekend,

it looks like you made some progress.

I know he's hiding something.

I just need a bit more time
to get to the bottom of it.

Okay, it's a song.

It's my ex's birthday coming up,

and I'm stuck on the hook.



I wonder if you could
just take a look at it,

and make it good?

- Sure, I'll have a look at it.
- Thank you, buddy.

It's good to see you.

Are you sure you're up for this?

Are you feeling okay?

I'm-I'm fine.

Really,
I wish people would stop asking me that.

It's great that you wanna help, but I...

I really don't need any.

Okay, you're gonna have fun doing this.

Yeah.

Yeah,
I used a bit of feather from a pheasant,

to make this fly look like a tiny wing.



Because that's what fish like.

They think this is
something real tasty to eat.

When I go fishing next week

with my old friend, Will Vernon,

this new fly is gonna be the reason

that I catch more fish than he does.

Hey!

Hey! It's your favourite Grandpa.

What are you doing, having a tea party?

Good. Hey!

Lou tells me that you're
going up to the fishing cabin.

- You want some company?
- I've already got company.

What's with that RV of
yours suddenly appearing

at the end of the driveway? My driveway!

Well, Stumpy leased out that
land to another rancher.

- So I had to move it out.
- Yeah well,

you better not think that
you can leave it there.

You should be happy
that I bought that RV.

'Cause we can travel anywhere.

Like the fishing cabin.
Plus, air conditioning,

fridge, microwave, surround sound.

Sleeps six.

I mean, it's way better than
that crap cabin you stay in.

Think about it.

There is nothing to think about,
believe me.

- Don't touch that! Ah!
- Sorry. I'm sorry.

I-I got it Jack, I got it.

- You make me crazy!
- My fault.

Okay, they all came out.

G.G. needs a nap, huh?

Yeah.

Jack. Oh my goodness!

You probably don't recognize me.

Oh, on the contrary, Doreen Vernon.

Will's better half.

It's good to see you.

It's good to see you.

Jack, I um...

well, here.

I have something.

That is Will's guitar.

He's gone, Jack.

Our dear Will passed away.

You make it look so easy.

- And you will, too.
- How?

You already have a
great bond with Phoenix.

Well, we'll just build on that.

Okay.

There you go!

I just, I feel really awkward.

See? He's bored with me already.

Come on Georgie, these things take time.

You have to give it a chance.

I just...

I just don't really
feel like it right now.

Well, I think you need to relax.

You've already proven yourself.

You have a ticket to go to Europe

if that's what you wanna do.

That's the last thing
I wanna think about.

Okay, fine!

But you do need to take a step back.

A big one,
to a place where there's no competition.

Right.

Hey, Grandpa, can I call you back?

Yeah, we'll be right there.

We have to go home.

Come on.

Will always wanted you
to have his guitar.

If anything happened.

I'm honoured to have it.

You know, I was always afraid

that Will would end up a total recluse.

But that man...

he really changed these
past couple of years.

He even swallowed his pride,

and came courting me
after all our time apart.

From what Will said, I guess...

I have you to thank for that, Jack.

Well, Will never did anything
he didn't want to do, so...

do you have any funeral plans?

No. Will didn't want any
of that kind of thing.

It was always his wish
that his ashes be scattered

on the land where his wild horses are.

You all know how much he loved them.

And that's where he
was when he went down.

By the fence, watching his horses.

He never forgot what
you did for that herd.

Saving them from the cull like that.

I'm sure grateful that
you came all this way

to give me this news in person, Doreen.

Oh, I couldn'tve told you any other way,
Jack.

I mean, after all,
you and your wife, Lyndy,

were the ones who introduced
me to Will in the first place.

I thought he was the
craziest man I'd ever met.

It turns out I was right, he was.

But he was also a hopeless romantic.

That song you helped him with?

He serenaded me with
it on my last birthday.

I really loved it.

So I just...

I wanna thank you, Jack.

For giving me my Will not once,

but twice in my lifetime.

- So take care of yourself, now.
- Oh, you, too.

Bye.

Oh, Clint and Luke are on their way.

- Do you want me to cancel?
- No, we promised.

- Want some?
- I'm okay, thanks.

- Hi.
- Hi, sweetheart.

- Morning.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Hi, sweetheart.

- Morning.
- Hey.

Ha ha, Mitch's wedding invite.

I got one of these too.

I think I'll be taking a pass on that.

Is anybody gonna go?

Yeah, Ty and I are going,
and I think Grandpa is, too.

Ugh. Weddings and funerals.

That's pretty much life in a nutshell,
isn't it?

Okay... I had a date to go fishing

with Will Vernon,

and by way of honouring my old friend,

I'm sticking to the plan.

I'll be at the cabin.

I really don't think it's
a good idea for Grandpa

to go up there alone right now.

Maybe it'll be good for him.

Amy, it'll give him some
time to process everything.

I'll go with the old man,
he shouldn't be alone.

I'm not asking for
anyone's permission here.

I'm going. Alone.

Hope you all understand.

Grandpa, just don't spend
too long up there, okay?

And drive safe.

See you, Jack.

Well, I've gotta get some paperwork done

- before Luke and Clint show up.
- Yeah, I'll come help you.

Okay, thank you. You got her?

- All right.
- Thank you, Lou.

- Yeah, thank you.
- Okay, have a good one.

- Sorry about the mess.
- Bye, guys.

"Sometimes when you
sleep I watch you dream,

and I dream, too.

Someday your eyes will be
filled with a joy so deep

that they shine.

Someday you will hear something so sad

that you will fold up with sorrow.

Someday you will call
a song to the wind,

and the wind will carry your song away."

You okay, Amy?

If it hadn't have been for Will,

and our time at Pike River,

we never would've gotten back together.

We never... would've been married,

had Lyndy.

I know.

I thought of that, too.

I just can't believe that he's gone.

Well, you couldn't ask for a better guy

to help you with your project, Luke.

Ty here is a mechanical wizard.

Well, I wouldn't go that far, but...

why don't you tell me about
what your project's about?

It's for my STEM class.

Uh, STEM class? Okay.

Science, technology...

Engineering and math.

Okay well,
what'd you want to do for your project?

I saw this picture of a
battery-operated truck.

It was cool.

And I brought some
parts that might work?

I'd be happy to help you out, Luke,

if that's what you wanna do.

Where's Boots?

Oh, he's in the barn.

Okay, well, thanks, Clint.

Hey, boy.

How are you doing?

I missed you.

Hey, Luke?

We should get started.

All right,
why don't you show me what you got

in your bag there?

I found these from one of my old trucks.

And uh...

I found this in my train set.

It was broken anyway,
but the motor's still good.

Yeah, this is a good start.

But you gotta find some gears,

and then figure out a
way to get the power...

to the wheels.

Like a transmission.

Yeah, like a transmission.

Maybe you do know what you're talkin'
about.

And maybe you do, too.

All right, well,
let's go look in the Quonset hut.

Mmm! Good tea, sweetheart.

Okay, so we got the body
of the truck done today.

And you like it, right, Luke?

- Yep.
- Good.

So tomorrow we can get
the gears all lined up,

and hopefully...

get the batteries
connected to the switch.

What colour do you want to paint it,
Luke?

Luke?

Amy, are you okay?

It's all right.

Ty, I can't...

Have you still got that fishing cabin?

Yeah, yeah, I do.

Well, that's what you do, then.

You take yourself up there.

As a matter of fact,
we both should go up there.

How many songs did we write
in that cabin, oh my gosh!

Some of them were God awful too,
weren't they?

That is true.

I agree with you,
Will, a fishing trip is due,

let's set a date.

That's right, I got a social calendar,

I'm gonna fit you in.

Here's to you, Will. Cheers.

Good boy.

Hey, do you see that? He's following me.

Good boy.

I see what you mean
about this being calming.

It is kind of Zen.

Yeah, it really quiets your mind.

Yeah. It does.

Speaking of,
is there something on yours?

- I'm worried about my Mom.
- How so?

It's just...
I think she's pretty upset...

with Mitch, and the wedding,
and everything.

Have you talked to her about it?

I tried, but she didn't wanna go there.

I don't think she's over him.

Not at all.

Okay, bud.

Come on.

Good boy, Phoenix.

Come around.

Good.

All right.

There you go!

What do you think?

It's fine.

Just fine?

I think it's a lot better than "fine".

Let's get the wheels here,
and get it set up.

Is Amy okay?

Yeah.

I saw her last night.

She was sad.

Yeah, she was.

Our family lost a good friend.

She was a little upset about it.

She couldn't hold it in any longer.

But you know,
sometimes that's the only way

to start feeling better, Luke.

We can't always hide our emotions.

If we did, people wouldn't
know when we needed comfort.

Or maybe some help.

My mom cries sometimes.

Yeah?

Do you know what it's about?

Well, she gets sad.

And I'm like you are, with Amy.

I try to make her feel better.

That's good.

That's the right thing to do.

Well, I mean,
she doesn't cry all the time.

She sometimes, she wants to have fun.

Like we get up in the
middle of the night,

and make pancakes,
and eat as many as we want.

But then, after...

she kinda gets sad again.

How often does she get sad?

I think I wanna paint it blue.

Blue it is.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Okay!

So no one wants to bite today, huh?

Okay.

Hello? Jack?

I'm home!

Oh my goodness, look at this!

Honey? Wow!

Where is everybody?

- Hey.
- Hi! How are you?

Yeah, hey, good, you're back, huh?

- Yes.
- Finally.

Well, where is he?
I wanted to surprise him.

Not here.

Where is he?

Um...

What?

Will Vernon passed away.

He did? Oh no.

Well, when? Why didn't he tell me that?

He probably tried to get a hold of you,
but he...

he couldn't because you
haven't exactly been easy

to track down, so he probably gave up.

Well, where is he?

- Fishing cabin.
- By himself?

He went by himself after
hearing about Will?

I offered to go with him,
but he didn't want me to.

So I think he just
needs some alone time.

Well, I don't,
I don't think he should be alone.

He's been alone for quite a while now,
Lisa.

All right.

Yes, sir!

Look at that, Will!

That's a beauty!

Well, hello there.

How did you get into this mess?

Hold still. Oh, easy, now.

Easy, now.

Hold your horses, I got ya.

There you go.

Be free!

Jack! Get up!

Jack, get up!

What're you gonna do,
just lay there in the ice cold water

and freeze your butt off,

instead of coming over here
and joining your old friend?

Jack, get up!

Will, you...

you're here! You came!

Oh, man!

You gave me the scare of my life!

I thought...

I don't know how to tell you this,

but someone's made a serious mistake,

they think you...

Well,

you are gonna get a good
laugh out of this one.

Okay.

Have you got time for a chat?

You feel we should be going,
I mean, he's-he's grieving,

he shouldn't be alone.

He's used to it by now.

Okay, so you've been needling me

since I walked through the door.

If you have something to say,

why don't you just come out and say it?

Well, you've been away for months, Lisa.

Jack hasn't been the
same since you left,

I can't count the number of
times he's tried to call you.

So I guess at the end of the day

you just have to ask yourself
what's more important.

Your aunt...

or your husband?

What?! Tim, that's not fair.

My aunt has been extremely ill.

- Needed me.
- Jack needed you, too.

So this project's pretty
important to you, huh?

Yeah, it is.

It has to be perfect.

Well, we're gonna do our best.

Are you worried about your grades, Luke?

No. It's my teachers.

They say I don't pay attention.

And they're always calling
my Mom or Clint about it.

If I do good on this,

it'll show them all that
I can do something right.

And...

it'll make my Mom proud.

Well, I think we can make that happen.

Wanna do a test drive?

- Yeah!
- All right, let's do it.

Set 'er down?

- Okay, let's press the button.
- All right.

Great! It doesn't work!

This idea is stupid!

You know we should've
done something else!

Luke! Luke! Whoa, whoa, hey!
Hold on a sec, hey!

Just relax, okay?

Remember what we talked about.

Take a breath.

Now, we just need to adjust some gears,
okay?

Happens all the time on my motorcycle.

Why don't you put it
back up on the desk,

and we'll take a look at it.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Lisa's back?
- Yeah, um...

but as soon as she got here,
she heard about Will,

and her and Dad headed up to the cabin.

Well, I think that's good.

Grandpa shouldn't be alone right now.

- Yeah.
- Hey, what's this?

Oh,
it's just Mitch and Maya's wedding site.

Listen to this.

"In lieu of gifts,
please make a thoughtful donation

to our favourite charity,

Changing the World With Crystals."

It's so Maya.

Lou, you've gotta talk to me.

Every time I ask how you're doing

with this whole wedding thing,
you just shut me down.

Well, you know, things have been

just a little bit busy, Amy.

Yes, but Georgie doesn't think

that you're over Mitch yet.
Is that true?

Hello?

- Can I come in?
- Maya!

Hi!

Hi.

Do you remember being
out there on the road

month after month, rodeo after rodeo?

The big payouts. The big parties.

The big injuries.

I remember that you were
competing at one stage with,

we had four broke ribs, and a...

oh, a collarbone.

I had a busted collarbone, too.

We were insane!

Yes, I...

I guess we were.

I don't know how we made
it out of all that alive,

to tell you the honest truth.

But I just wanted you to know,

they weren't just the wildest times,

they were also some of the
happiest times of my life.

Yeah.

Yeah, those, those...

those days were somethin', all right.

But Pike River,
you remember that Christmas?

When we saved them horses
that were trapped there

in the avalanche, remember that?

I do, yeah.

That was quite the trick
to get them out alive.

Yeah...
well, they weren't the only lives

we saved that week.

It was that Christmas,
Jack, you saved my life.

- Ah, come on.
- No, you did.

I would've died right,
right then and there

in that house, just sittin' in there.

I would've died for sure.

But you, you brought back my family,

you brought back my life.

And now, well Jack,
you've brought back my ex-wife.

Well today,
it's my turn to return the favour.

You know, I was so totally
set on an outdoor ceremony.

- You know, one with nature.
- Yeah...

Oh, but no,
Mitch's family wanted a church wedding.

I got my way on the reception, though.

It's gonna be in the middle of a field,

with these big white tents!

Pinnacles of twinkly white lights?

Exactly! How did you...

how did you know?

It's what I wanted for my wedding.

But it didn't,
it didn't quite work that way.

It'll happen for you, Lou.

I know you'll meet someone

who makes you just as
happy as Mitch has made me.

I sure hope so.

So, back to business.

The reception,
I noticed you still haven't RSVP'd,

are you bringing a "plus one"?

- Um...
- Your date.

I need the names for the place cards.

Right, of course, the place cards.

Those are important things. Place cards.

You know,
Mitch hinted that you might have

a special someone to invite?

He did, did he?

- Who?
- The um...

you know, the grocery guy

that Mitch's company
has the big deal with.

Fred! That's his name. Fred Garland.

Yeah. Yeah.
You can tell Mitch that's exactly

who I'm bringing.'

That's my "plus one".

Amazing!

I'm so glad you have someone.

You should've seen Doreen's face

when I showed up at her door after what,
ten years?

Maybe more?

And she takes one look
at me and she says,

"I cannot believe you're
still driving around

in that piece of crap!"

My stupid truck.

Yeah, I like Doreen.

Oh yeah, salt of the earth, her.

Come on, Jack.

Time to go. Come here.

I'd say it's uh,

enough of the reminiscing
now at this point.

I think it's time to get up, old friend.

It's time to wake up.

Will!

Jack? Jack?

Nope, he must be fishing.

All right, well, this is a start.

And he's got his fishing rod, so...

I'm just gonna look down
around the bend, then.

Jack?

Okay.

Okay, I'll go upriver.

Hey Amy, come down here,

we've got something to show you!

No! Don't tell her!

What if it doesn't work again?

Hey! It's okay. You're among friends.

And besides, I think it's gonna work.

All right, Amy, you ready for this?

All right Luke, hit the switch.

Look at that!

Hey!

Wow, look at that, Boots!

It works!

That is so cool!

Jack?

Dad, I just,
I wanna know if you guys are doing okay.

Call me back when you get this.

Wow!

You and Maya really have a
way of sneaking up on me.

I'm sorry, I knocked,
but you were just on the...

- So...
- So...

Maya tells me you're bringing Fred

as a guest to the wedding.

You know, I think that's great.

Mitch,
I'm not bringing Fred to the wedding.

I'm not bringing anyone because um,

I don't think I can be there.

What? Why?

What,
you're not gonna come to my wedding?

It's just not a good time.
Georgie's been sick,

and I don't know if you know this,

but my Grandfather's oldest friend,
Will Vernon,

just passed away, so...

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

And anyway, Mitch, why...

why would you even want me there?

Why?

- What do you mean, why?
- Just a simple question.

Why?

Because I want you.

At the wedding. I...

Well, I'll think about it.

Well, I hope to see you there.

Oh no, Jack!

Jack!

Jack, you gotta get it together,
come on.

I've seen you wounded
way worse than this,

and still make it home alive,
so come on, let's go.

I need to thank you, Will.

Yeah, I do.

For everything you've done for me.

Oh...

You can't be gone, Will.

It's too soon.

I've got no regrets now.

These past few years
have just been golden,

thanks to you.

The only thing I worry
about is them horses.

So if you wanna thank me,

you could look in on 'em.

I'll do that.

Good. Thanks.

You're my best friend, Will.

And I never told you that.

Oh...

I was gonna tell you, I was.

I was gonna tell you on this trip,
but then...

Well, you have, and now you have again,

so we're square.

Jack!

You hear that?
Someone's lookin' out for you.

I don't wanna leave you, Will.

Jack?

Not yet.

You have to.

- That's just it.
- Jack!

Answer the man.
Let him know you're here.

Yeah...

No, no, no, no, louder.

I'm here.

- Jack?
- Yeah... I'm here.

- Jack! Hey! Hey!
- I'm here...

- Hey, you okay?
- Yeah.

You okay? Easy, come on.

Yeah, okay...

Okay, all right.

Okay, come on, Jack.

All right.

That's it.

There you are, what happened?

Oh my goodness!

What happened?
What happened? Oh, sweetie!

Are you okay? What-what happened, honey?

It's okay.

Oh, sweetie. Are you okay?

Let me see you.

Oh!

Hi! Hi!

It's okay.

Okay, let's get him to the cabin.

Come on, let's go inside.

Come on. Come on, let's get you inside.

- Let's go.
- Okay, come on.

Can you tell me what happened?

Well, that fridge keeps
everything at a perfect,

perfect temperature.

What a beautiful gift, thank you.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Mmm!

Hey Lise...

we're okay, aren't we? You and me?

Honey.

I'm sorry I was away for so long.

I was so torn, I mean,

if you could've seen Aunt Evelyn,
she just...

You don't need to explain.

You did what you had to do.

It's funny, isn't it?

How we can think of
family as being so strong,

when it's actually so delicate.

I don't know what I
would do without you,

I really don't.

I'm so happy to be home with you,
Cowboy.

I want to play something for you.

Oh, good.

This is a song...

Will wrote for his wife.

For Doreen.

But I kinda think it was meant for us,
too.

♪ When I look at my life

♪ As it passes me by

♪ I think of all the times

♪ You stood by my side

♪ When you said goodbye

♪ I lost the love of my life

♪ Now I'm longing for the days

♪ When you were my wife

♪ You're the one that got away

♪ Couldn't think of what to say ♪

♪ Now we have a second chance

♪ And I'm not throwin' it away

♪ Here we are together

♪ Who knew we'd see the way

♪ The start of new beginnings

♪ The start of our new day

♪ And I can say I love you

♪ And mean it even more

♪ A second chance, a second dance ♪

♪ More precious than before

♪ If your love is broken

♪ And leaves you on your own

♪ Time might heal the pain but... ♪

♪ Your heart will lead you home ♪

♪ Your heart will lead you home ♪

Hi! Hi.

I got the highest mark!

- I won first place!
- Fantastic!

Good for you, Luke!

I want you to have it.

Um, well,
you think your mom would want that, or?

No, you're the one who helped me.

Thanks, Luke.

I'll-I'll put this on the fridge, okay?

How about right there?

Looks pretty good, what do you think?

- Hi, Lyndy. Hi!
- Hi!

Hello?

Sorry, he bolted up the stairs

before I even got out of the car.

That's all right, do you want anything?

No, thanks, but um...

Can we talk?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, let's put this here. That's good.

It's Luke's mother.

She doesn't feel that she
can take care of him anymore.

Not properly, so uh...

I'm afraid I'm looking into foster care.

Here.

- You made some tea.
- Yeah.

You're lucky.

You wouldn't be alive
if it wasn't for me.

It wasn't just you.

What?

Nothing.

Ah, come on.

That's twice I've saved your life.

I guess that is true.

Now I've just gotta figure
out how to save my own.

What's that supposed to mean?

Come on, Jack.

Look at me, I got a big second chance.

Just like Will.

And what did I do?

Nothing.

Lost and alone.

That cannot be my best life.

All right.

All right, if you wanna move that thing

into the yard here, just do it,

'cause you're going to
sneak up on me anyway.

But you're wrong about one thing.

You're not alone, Tim.

And thank you, by the way.

You're welcome.
