Heartland (2007–…): Season 12, Episode 7 - Running Scared - full transcript

Hey.

Previously on "Heartland"...

- I'm fine.
- You're not fine!

You were unconscious, Jade.

Being sidelined with a concussion sucks.

What if I'm not getting any better?

So we were hoping that
you two would agree

to be Lyndy's guardians.

We'd love her like she
was our own daughter.

Yeah.

I'm not a 100% yet, but I am improving.



So I called Tim,
and I told him that I wanted to help out

mentoring students at the rodeo school.

And you need to think
about what you're willing

to sacrifice,
because I'm not interested in coaching

a top five jumper,

I'm interested in
coaching the top jumper.

I'm pretty sure the only thing
standing in your way right now

is you.

Canter.

Good.

Hey.

Don't push yourself too hard.

Well, the doctor just cleared me.

And I haven't had any symptoms,



so I need to get back into shape.

I'm thinking maybe I can
get in the chute next.

You sure about that?
You haven't been on a bronc...

No, I'll be fine.

There's no training like the real thing,
right?

Right, but... right.

Well, just be careful, huh?

Yeah.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You guys are really coming along.

Thanks. But we need to smooth things out

if we wanna make it on
the European circuit.

No Georgie, I'm serious,
you look really good.

Well, good's not good enough anymore.

We seriously have to step up our game.

Hey.

- Oh!
- Jade.

You all right?

Yeah, my, my shoulder's sore,

it... it hurts when I hold the rein.

Okay, okay, all right, all right, easy.

- I can't, it's too sore.
- I can ride him.

Uh, okay.

You don't ride if you don't feel right,
so...

Okay.

- You all right there?
- You okay?

Yeah.

Jade?

Hey, I'm sorry about bailing
in the chute earlier.

No big deal.

No,
I can understand why you might be sore.

You've been working out
pretty hard on the sidelines.

Yeah.

We can take our time gettin'
back on a bronc.

Well, maybe the rodeo this weekend?

Mmm...

why-how about Cochrane?

The rodeo in Cochrane
in a couple of weeks.

That sound good?

Okay.

I think my shoulder
should be better by then.

- Okay, see 'ya.
- Okay.

- Gah!
- Yeah!

We have to make sure all
the vegetables stay watered.

- Water.
- Yeah? You wanna water?

Yeah.

Hey, how's my favourite goddaughter?

- Oh!
- Oh! Ohh...

What are you doing, monkey?

You trying to drown your god papa?

After I went all this
way to bring you this.

What is it?

Ohh...

Now, I know you have Monty,

but this can be your inside horse.

Caleb, it's adorable,
but you didn't have to do that.

I feel like you're bringing

toys by for her every other week.

It's no big deal,
I saw it in the toy store window,

and just couldn't resist.

Is Ty around?

He's actually on a
camping trip with Luke.

That kid he's been working with?

- Yeah.
- Oh, cool.

Oh, look at you! Can I have a turn?

I won't break it.

- I think that's a no.
- Mhmm.

Sorry to dash,
I have to meet Cass in town,

- I have an appointment.
- Is everything okay?

Yeah, yeah, everything's fine.

It's great. See you later, cutie.

Hey, Jack. Um...

So, what exactly is it that
you put into your chili?

Well, I like to switch
it up a little each time.

I'm putting jalapenos in today.

Okay, uh, what else?

Well, there's diced tomatoes,

there's green peppers, onions,
ground beef, of course.

What do you got goin' there?

It's just like a calorie counting app.

Why would you need that?

I'm just trying to get a better idea

of what I'm putting in my body.

Oh, don't go getting carried
away with something like that.

Not at your age.

Do you think you could
replace the beef with tofu?

No.

Okay, well,
what about a lean turkey breast?

There isn't any.

Okay, well... maybe you could

just take the meat out this time?

Please?

Yes! Thank you.

Thank you, Jack.

Did that vegan yoga girl make this?

Where's the meat?

I just changed up the
recipe a little bit.

I asked him to.

If you take away the beef away,
it cuts a lot of the fat out.

It also cuts out a lot of the flavour.

A little change doesn't kill anyone.

Besides,
if it helps Georgie with her training,

then it's a good thing.

Yeah, what is it with all the training,

the hard core workouts? You and Jade.

How is she doing at practice?

Well, she's all sit-ups and no broncs.

I think she's... I think she's scared.

Oh, I think she needs to
get her confidence back.

You know,
maybe you should try another event

to help her get her bearings.

And just build back up to broncs.

Not a terrible idea.

High praise, from Tim Fleming.

Well, I have been thinking
of putting on a clinic

for team penning.

That might be perfect.

Remember that time in Airdrie?

Yeah, how could I not?

You've never let me forget it.

Boy, did we take it to you that day.

So Tim's team goes right before us.

They had a pretty good time.

You did post a pretty good time.

They thought they had it in the bag,
as a matter of fact.

But that was only because us
"old timers" hasn't gone yet.

And it was me, Will Vernon,
and Eli Stark.

You should've seen us, boy!

We were like a well-oiled machine.

Well, old machine.

You know,
that was kinda fun listening to Grandpa

- bask in his glory days.
- Glad you enjoyed it.

It actually got me thinking.

It's been a while since we've
done anything fun as a family.

Maybe we should do a little
team penning competition.

You know,
Georgie's been training so hard,

and I just think that
doing something fun

would be good for her.

Well, maybe we should do a, like a...

family trail ride, but the team penning?

That's sort of a cattle guy thing.

Oh, a cattle "guy" thing?

Well, I didn't mean it like that.

Dad, I can pen cows just
as well as any cowboy.

Okay... okay. So let's do it.

What would the teams be?

Well, how about guys versus girls?

- Oh really?
- Yeah!

Me, Georgie, and Jade,

against you, Grandpa, and... Caleb?

Well, that's not fair.

Why?
Because we're girls, we're gonna lose?

Well,
because you've never done it before.

And we've done it a lot.

And our team would be kind of stacked.

Ah, we'll see about that.

Wow, you're very confident, young lady.

Okay, you wanna make a little side bet?

- Dad...
- Hey.

Dinner. Loser buys.

- Okay, you're on.
- Yeah, no Maggie's, either.

I'm talking steak and lobster.

Yeah, you better start saving.

Oh boy.

Ketchup?

Uh, no thanks, it's loaded with sugar.

Exactly. Bring it on.

Hey, did you talk to your mom
in the last couple of days?

Yeah I did, why?

Well, she's won't answer my calls.

I mean, I want to look for
a new assistant manager,

but I can't until she signs off on it.

She's super busy.

She probably just hasn't
had time to think about it.

Right.

Um, I'm-I'll be right back.

Yeah.

Maybe I just need to make
an executive decision.

Just put an ad out.

My ship, my rules.

- Or maybe you should hold off.
- Yeah, you're right,

I should get Lou to
sign off on it first.

No, no, it's just...

maybe I could be your assistant manager.

Really? You want that job?

That's a lot of hours.

I mean, what about your rodeo schedule?

I'm sure I could figure it out.

Excuse me, could I get some coffee?

Uh sure, okay, yeah.

I will uh, I'll think about it.

Okay.
There, much healthier than ketchup.

Hey, girls!

Hold up a sec,
I wanna talk to you about something.

So what do you think
about taking on the guys

in a little team penning?

Us three, against my Dad,
Grampa, and Caleb.

But aren't they all really good at it?

Yeah, so? Maybe we are, too.

I think it would be a lot of fun,
and besides,

think of the bragging
rights if we actually win.

I mean, I'm in if you are.

Imagine if we actually beat Tim.

All right,
I guess I could give it a try.

Okay great, well,
let's start practicing,

I'll teach you the basics.

Okay, so how does this work?

Okay, each team goes separately.

So we're against the clock?

Yeah, exactly. You wanna ride in,

and you have to pick three
of the same numbered cattle

and bring them into the pen.

Okay? So why don't you try first?

Just go in, and,
and cut out uh, number six.

All right?
Just bring it away from the herd.

Like this?

Yeah, don't be shy. Get in there.

Follow that six.

That's it, there you go!

There,
and see how she's working that cow

so he stays away from the herd?

I got her.

- Good boy, Trouble.
- Nice!

Good job!

All right, your turn, Jade.

Go in and try to pick
out another number six.

Slow down, you don't need
to run in there like that.

Look, I got it!

Jade, easy, easy,
we don't need to split the herd,

just go in there nice and quiet.

Okay, okay!

Jade! What are you doing?

- Knock, knock.
- Oh, hey.

- Look what I found.
- A saddle? Caleb.

Now, before you give me any more guff

about another present,
it goes with the horse, so.

Okay, well,
I think Lyndy's pretty lucky to have

a god papa like you.

I was actually hoping to talk

to you about the penning competition,
if...

Yeah, come on in,
do you want a drink, or something?

I'm okay.

You put me on Team Tim.

Well, my Dad is convinced
that you guys have this thing

in the bag, so you should be happy.

Well, whatever.
Tim's gonna be Tim.

I was actually hoping to
talk to you about Rusty.

I think he's gonna be
a good horse for this.

You'd think so,
but lately he's been distracted,

and just not able to focus.

I was just hoping if you
have some free time today,

you could take a look at him?

I know we're in competition, but...

No, I'll take a look at him.

I don't want any excuses
when we kick your butt.

I guess I sound like my Dad, don't I?

No, not even close,
you'd have to get way up

to this level of crazy
to sound like Tim.

Crazy?

Like a fox, maybe.

- I got a great idea.
- And I don't wanna hear it.

So I'll be back.

Okay, I think we could turn
this team penning thing

into quite an event.

- This is a family thing.
- Exactly.

I think we should do a
family and friends fun day,

right here at Heartland.

And we do all kinds of events.

You know, stuff for the kids,
roping, barrel racing,

- hide pulling.
- Uh huh?

You know,
we'll get people excited about this.

Word gets out, we'll sell tickets.

- Tickets?
- And the winner...

gets to donate the money to
the charity of their choice.

So say, after my health scare last year,

the money would go to the
Hudson Cancer Society.

What about you?

I have not agreed to do this yet.

Okay, how about a horse rescue shelter?

Well, unless you're afraid
of disappointing them.

Fine, let's do it.

That way the whole
town can watch me wipe

- that smug look off your face.
- Oh, delusionally confident.

I like that.

This'll be good.

Not good, great!

Tim just told me
there's gonna be a crowd

- watching us do penning.
- Yeah, he goaded Amy into it.

Well, this is getting out of control.

Look it's just a few people from town.

Yeah, but I didn't sign up for this.

If I'm doing this, so are you.

- You can't back out now.
- Yeah, but I'm not good at it.

I-I don't wanna embarrass myself!

You just need a little more practice,
okay? Come on.

Fine.

Okay, you ready to give this another go?

- Yeah, what number?
- Let's go for the threes.

Okay.

Move it! I can't even see a three!

Jade, easy!

Easy, easy.

What's going on?

Okay, wait.

It's not, it's not a big deal,
we're just...

gonna take a breather,
and we'll give it another try.

No, I've had enough of this.
This was a stupid idea!

Come on.

So what's a ride in the woods gonna do?

Well, taking him in and around the trees

will force him to concentrate.
Good luck with that.

I don't want you goin'
head first into one of those trees.

- Okay.
- Be good.

- He didn't hit anything?
- No, not even close.

He listened to every cue I gave him.

I was a little bit afraid of that,
actually.

Why? I told you that he was great.

That means I'm the problem.

Well, sometimes it's the horse,

and sometimes it's the rider.

But either way, we can fix it.

It's been a stressful few months.

What's going on with you?

It's kinda personal.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry.

No, it's okay. I'm glad he's fine.

I just need to get my head in the game.

Before Tim tears it off.

- Amy?
- Yeah?

I got the banners.

Well,
you don't have to bring them up here,

why don't you just
leave them in the barn?

Tickets are selling like hotcakes.

- Really?
- Yeah.

It's gonna be a great family event.

But something's bothering me.

Our bet.

I just don't think that you
girls should buy us guys

a big, fancy, expensive dinner.

You must've just had a bad practice,

and now you're trying to get out of it.

Practice?
No, no, we don't, we don't practice.

We've been doing this for years.

No, it's just that this is for charity.

My charity is the Hudson Cancer Society.

Or my horse rescue center.

Yeah, whatever. Either way, sure.

It's for charity,
and I don't think that we should spend

money on each other as a reward.

So I think we should change the bet.

Okay,
I can't wait to see where this is going.

Well, Lou's been on us for
a while to dig a new hole

for the outhouse.

- Oh, come on!
- I know.

Gruelling work.

And we could handle it just fine,

but we're not gonna need to,

because you guys will
be digging that hole.

- Sounds like we've got a bet.
- You're on.

Great.

If I decide to bring you
on as assistant manager,

I am going to need you to
do some of the admin stuff.

Ordering supplies, payroll, scheduling.

Hey, Georgie.

Hey. Um, can I talk to you for a second?

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay,
we can talk about this later.

That was kind of rude.

Well, yeah,
so was storming off at practice.

What's going on with you?

What were you talking to Jen about?

Well,
she's hiring a new assistant manager.

Hopefully me.

Are you really gonna have time for that,

with your rodeo schedule?

Well, maybe I've been spending

- a little too much time on that.
- What are you saying?

Well, I mean, rodeo's been a blast,

but maybe it's time I grow
up and get a real job.

Assistant manager's gonna
look way better on my resume

than being able to ride a bronc.

Wait, are you quitting?

So,
it looks like one of our charities,

probably mine,
is gonna get a big fat cheque.

Because we are selling
tickets like crazy.

And I got Rob Bergevin to be the emcee.

Isn't that that rodeo announcer guy?

- Yep. Cool, huh?
- Thanks. Yeah.

I'm just glad we're
doing something positive,

and having a little
fun while we're at it.

Jack, you remember those
poker nights we used to run

- before rodeos?
- Yeah. Yeah.

I think I won more off of you
than I ever did in the arena.

Easy.

I'd be happy to host
a card game tonight,

- if you're up for it.
- I'm in.

Amy, how about you?

It'll be past this little
munchkin's bedtime,

- so I probably shouldn't.
- All right.

Maybe I could come over,
and we could make dinner,

and hang out? Please?

Okay, yeah,
actually that sounds a lot more fun

than cards, sorry, Grandpa.

All right, well,
you guys have your boys night,

- and we'll do our own thing.
- Okay, see 'ya.

Good. So, guess who's gettin'
into the spirit of it.

Good.

- Can I invite Jade, too?
- Yeah, of course.

Okay good, because I may need your help.

She's about to make a decision

without fully thinking it through.

What do you mean?

Well, she's gonna quit rodeo.

Are you serious?

- Does my dad know?
- No, no one knows.

So please don't tell anyone, okay?

Yeah, of course.

I don't really blame her,

being scared after a
concussion like that.

But this is worse than that.

She's terrified to get back on a bronc!

Again, I don't blame her, Georgie.

But that's not Jade.

We really need to make this
penning thing work for her,

It could be a real confidence booster.

If she shows up.

Okay. See 'ya.

Okay, bye.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Amy's having a girls'
night tonight in at the loft.

You wanna come?

You mean like, paint each other's nails,

play board games,
and watch "The Bachelorette?"

Yes, 'cause we're exactly like that.

No. We're just gonna make
dinner and chill out.

Okay, but do we have to eat

the way you've been eating lately?

I'm just trying to be smart.

You know,
getting in shape is just as much

about working out as it is about diet.

You're right, I need to train harder.

So, take me through your session.

- You sure?
- Yeah, let's do it.

All right, let's go.

Okay, two more.

You can do it!

Okay.

15 more seconds.

Come on, you're almost there.

6, 7, 8, 9,

10, 11, 12, 13,

Ah! 15...

You did good, kid.

Oh, it doesn't seem like it.

- Man, am I out of shape.
- No, you're not.

None of the guys can even
keep up with this workout.

Or in the arena.

Just say it.

You think I'm running scared.

Afraid to get back on a bronc.

Well, you are, aren't you?

Yeah, pretty much.

I get it.

I am too, this whole Europe thing,

that's a lot of pressure.

Probably the most pressure I've
ever felt in my entire life.

Yeah,
but you're definitely gonna qualify.

That scares me almost as
much as not qualifying.

Why don't we make a pact?

To not let fear get in the way.

I gotta go home and take a shower.

I'll see you at Amy's later.

Well, I'll take two.

I'm-I'm good.

I'm all in.

I'm out.

Okay, well...

I'll see that.

Call.

Aces over Jacks. Full house.

Darn it!

All I got's twos.

But, of course, I do have four of 'em.

Are you kidding me?

Well, I think I need a celebratory beer.

- Caleb?
- Yes, please.

What's with you tonight?

I'm the one losing my shirt here.

- I'm fine.
- You better be fine,

we got a lot of people coming tomorrow.

- I'll be ready.
- Oh yeah...

- Thanks.
- Okay, you know what?

I'm tapped out, I'm calling it a night.

That's the best call
you've made all game.

Yeah, whatever.

Just guys, don't make it a late one,
okay, please?

We got a big day tomorrow.

A lot of people coming. Game day.

I can't-I'm leaving.

Night.

Ahh... okay.

Who's ready for dessert?

Not me, I'm good, thanks, though.

What?! You cannot refuse...

when you see this!

Black Forest Cake! No fair.

Come on, Georgie,
you can't say no to that.

- Yeah.
- Okay, fine.

Just a sliver, okay?

Oh, don't be ridiculous,
it's your favourite.

And you had a monster
workout session today.
