Previously, on Wildfire:

There are only two reasons

a mare will refuse a stallion.

One, she's not in heat,

which we know she was.

Or, she's already pregnant.

I got a fever when I was little.

Did something to my heart.

I almost fouled up my life once, chasing the same kind of infatuation.

You want to live your life over?

Do it yourself. Let me live mine.

What if you went in with my dad?

I'll put up 100 grand.

Fifty. You got a deal.

We just took 200, and there are 50 more

waiting to come in outside!

My grandmother had a stroke.

My dad has to fly to Texas.

He's worried about this occupancy permit.

My dad's best friends with the fire chief.

I'll try to work something out.

You okay?Dad and I aren't speaking.

He's cut me off.

Junior, I'm your mother.

What is it with kids,

think you're never gonna get sick?

Isabelle, I don't need a mother.

I did everything I could to keep you.

But why didn't you fight?

I did, but Ken Davis does not stop unless he wins.

Tell me you don't have feelings for me anymore,

and you just want to be friends.

I don't have feelings for you. I just want to be friends.

Listen to me, I'm your shrink. I'm your priest.

I'm your homeroom teacher. I'm like family now.

I know what you're thinking.

You can use my insecurities for your own ends.

That's not what I was thinking.

Give me something of my own,

Pick of four horses from the racing stable.Done.

You know everything about horses

and everything about the track.

Help me set up my stable.

You know what, Ritter?

We make a good team.

I'm sorry.

We shouldn't have done it.

James Blunt, he's great.

Aren't you supposed to be in L.A.?

I'm supposed to be where I want to be.

Got your drinks, man.

Cheers. Thank you.

It is so cool you guys came and played. Thank you.

It's a pleasure.

When J.J. called, I couldn't say no.

How do you know J.J.?

We met in New York.

You're not her boyfriend, are you?

No, no.

Cool.

Well, thanks again.

Cheers. Thank you.

All right. Later.

But you're already training Picaro.

Why won't you just let me pay you?

Because I'm not training Picaro.

I'm just helping out a friend in need.

♪ My life is brilliant

I don't want to take advantage of our friendship.

This is strictly business.

Take the salary.

You getting nervous about the race?

I'm not gonna sleep for two weeks.

Where's Pablo?

He's away on an emergency.

Is he okay?

I think. He said it was old business,

and that's really all he said.

You know how he is.

Who's gonna train me for the race?

Well, I thought that Matt could finish up the training.

Me?

Yeah, you. Why not, huh?

You have helped Pablo and Henry

train horses for years.

Plus you've got Pablo's notes if you've got any questions.

Wow. Pablo logs Wildfire's training hour by hour?

Mm-hm. A great trainer keeps an eye on the big picture

and the tiniest detail.

And here's Wildfire's program

for the mile and a half.

Don't worry. Matt's gonna be with you

every step of the way until race day.

Will you?

Sure.

Thank you.

Just follow Pablo's training program

and it'll be easy.

How is our pretty mama-to-be?

Definitely eating for two.

Bella Donna's bloodlines and Wildfire's speed,

her foal should be quite a contender.

Yeah. The more races Wildfire wins,

more valuable Baby Wildfire's gonna be.

I have to win.

Don't put that kind of pressure on yourself.

You just run your best race.

Huh?

I wish you could've been there.

We were at capacity, food, drink, everything.

It was our best night yet.

That's so exciting. You are so wonderful.

It's not like I did it all myself.

What?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my shoes!

Do you see a leak anywhere?

I think I got it!

Junior, I'm so sorry.

This place looks like a bomb hit.

Hey, Pete. It's Junior.

Got a big problem.

Call me back.

Todd, you okay?

I didn't see you when you came in from school.

Anything interesting happen?

No.

Todd, open the door.

Hmm.

Dusk light too bright?

Oh, my God!

Todd, who punched you?

Nobody.

Is there a bully at school? No.

Is he just picking on you or the whole math club?

Mom, it's okay.

No, it isn't okay!

I'm gonna call your teacher

and then I'm gonna call your principal.

No, Mom! If you do, the other kids at school

will think I can't stick up for myself.

Just let me handle this.

I'm starving.

What can I have as a snack?

Well, between the sound system,

kitchen equipment, the floors,

I bet we've got $60,000 damage here.

Sixty-thousand?

Right. Give or take.

Look, after your insurance adjuster does his walk-through,

why don't you give me a call?

We could re-open as a water park.

Don't worry. You'll get the insurance check

and we'll fix everything.

We don't have any insurance.

But I heard you tell Pete that you got it like two weeks ago.

I've known the president of the insurance company my entire life,

but my dad must've gotten to him.

But I'm working on some options.

Great. Like what?

I still got at least ten on my credit line,

17,000 in savings,

and then we could go find some investors,

if Pete was ever around.

I really messed up.

Well, so now you pull a rabbit out of your hat,

and everything's all good.

If I could afford a hat.

So what did my dad say?

I don't know. He hasn't called me back.

I left him nine messages.

My grandmother is sick.

I just wish he'd call me back

so we could figure out our next move.

So, what's your next move?

I don't know.

I feel like a ping-pong ball.

I'm going from Raintree to Davis,

to Raintree to Davis to Raintree.

Sounds like one's got to go.

But which one?

I mean Raintree depends on Wildfire winning

some races and if Picaro doesn't win,

Dani can't pay back your dad,

and her dreams of making it on her own go down the toilet.

Tell her to join the club.

Literally.

So what's it gonna be?

Raintree or Dani?

Dani'll understand.

Hey, how's it going?

Yeah, I feel the same way.

Matt channeling Pablo through that training book is just so weird.

Hey. Pablo working you to death?

No, he's away.Away?

Well, who's your trainer?

Matt Ritter.

Technically inexperienced but very hungry.

Great. Taking it to the next level, huh?

Listen, I just got the track schedule.

You're in the fifth race,

and guess who you're riding against?

Dani's horse, Picaro.

No way.

Who's riding Picaro?

Emile Lachlan.

That's nice information gathering.

Well, look,

Kris is a better jock than Emile,

and Wildfire's a faster horse than Picaro,

so it's all good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You should probably make those calls to Todd's school.

I promised not to say anything.

Says there was no bully.

I mean, how else do you get a black eye in school?

What?

About 30 years ago,

I was captain of the math team

and I weighed maybe 68 pounds soaking wet.

Gary Wilson used to punch me in the stomach every day.

One day,

I decided to punch him back.

That led to seven stitches

and suspension from school for a week.

I promised I wouldn't interfere.

Maybe there's an alternative.

What?

Maybe I could ask around,

talk to some of the kids.

Hey, Matt, what's up with these blinkers?

Put 'em on to keep him focused on the job.

All right, so what are we doing today?

Just go a mile a lope. Picaro acts up, you--

Picaro? What?

You just said, "If Picaro acts up."

Ah, I have Picaro on my mind.

You should too.

You said you want to win, right?

Right.

After this I want to go over those Sandpiper tapes.

I don't want to repeat any of those mistakes.

I kind of have something.

What happened to "I'll be with you every step of the way?"

I am.

I just can't be right now.

Hey, look who's back.

I'm not back.

Stop sabotaging my life.

Come on. What did I do now?

The fire marshals show up unannounced at the club three times,

made sure our insurance policy was denied,

flooded the club.

Your club was flooded? Is everything all right?

You can cut the shock and the fake concern.

I did not flood it!

Then who'd you pay to do it?

Come on. What am I, twirling a mustache here?

Sounds like an insurance scam to me.

You think I flooded my own club?

You? No.

You think Pete did it?

You said it. I didn't.

Don't dump on someone you don't know.

I know him a hell of a lot better than you do.

The Pete I know doesn't have some secret agenda.

You saying I do?

Previous owner thought Picaro was better

in the stalking position behind the speed,

but he never finished better than fourth.

What do you think about getting him out with other horses

to see how he deals with the traffic?

Hello?

I'm sorry.

I'm stressed out.

I committed to train Picaro for you.

My mother asked me to finish Wildfire's training,

and now I found out they're racing against each other.

Big-time trainers have more than one horse in races all the time.

For me it's weird to train a horse

that's going to be racing against Raintree,

and I'm glad you've established

that this relationship is strictly business, because I--

You want to see something great?

Our first race program.

You have me listed as Picaro's trainer.

You are Picaro's trainer.

Unofficially.

No, officially.

I'm paying you, right?

You deserve to be listed,

and when we win on Saturday, Matt,

everyone is gonna know that we're major.

"Trainer Matt Ritter."

That sounds pretty strong.

Yeah.

Please take it out though.

Programs are already printed.

Oh, look. There's Wildfire.

"Trainer Pablo Betart?"

As Picaro's trainer, you're entitled

to a percentage of the purse when he wins, you know.

You'd do that?

What smart businesswoman wouldn't reward her employees?

The flood was my fault.

How?

Just before I left work one night,

I went to the women's room to clean up

and there was this little tiny leak under the sink

so I figured, you know, "Big Deal,"

so I went and found a roll of duct tape

and I swear the leak was dry when I left.

What? What? Why are you smiling?

The flood was caused by a pipe bursting

in the ceiling, not in the women's room.

What?

Actually, the only pipe that still works in this place

is the one you wrapped up under that sink.

What? Really?

Yeah.

Wow! Here I was, feeling so guilty.

Let's go for it on "ichi."

Ichi!

Ni!

San!

Release!

Sophia, up.

Punch.

It's the most fun I've ever had.

But you've been lying to your mom since school started.

I never lied.

I said there was no bully after me. It's true!

Nice try.

You know, you're gonna have to come clean with your mother.

I know.

If you're serious about sticking with the karate,

I'll support you when you tell her.

Really?

I got your back.

Kris?

Hey.

I've got some interesting news.

Yeah? Hit me.

Matt's training Picaro for Saturday's race.

Yeah, and Dani's gonna clean out my trailer

every other Wednesday.

No, Matt can't be training Picaro.

Yeah, you'd think, right?

Yeah, but how can he--?

How can he do this to you?

I mean, you're working to win for his family,

his ranch, his horse, I don't know.

Wonder if Jean knows about this.

Really surprised at your generosity.

Really?

Didn't you close Kris' deal, calling them "slave wages?"

I did, and they are.

but right now, I'm talking about Matt.

What about Matt?

I think he's doing a great job here, filling in for Pablo.

I never would've dreamed that you'd release him to train for Dani Davis, too.

"Release him?"

You didn't know.

No.

Well, protecting my client is my priority.

I'd think twice about this race on Saturday.

You're saying that Kris should scratch.

I didn't say that. It's just...

Look, if you were in my position,

could you really recommend going forward?

What Kris needs is 100% support.

What she's got is an untested trainer with a split focus.

It's open.

Hey.

Hey.

How's it going?

Um, not good at all, actually.

How can I help?

Um...

tape my father's mouth shut?

That's a temporary solution.

I think I've come up with something

a little more satisfying.

What?

Beating him at his own game.

Nothing better than making

that smug grin of his disappear.

I don't know.

Maybe he's right after all.

I can't make it on my own.

That is ridiculous.

Making it on your own is not the same thing

as running around the road blocks he's set up.

We need to make those go away.

Okay?

Hi. Hey.

Hi, Rebecca.

Good news.

We could use some.

I talked to my uncle.

He's a plumbing contractor.

He'll have one of his guys

do the repairs at cost.

And he knows a drywall contractor,

anda woman in the restaurant supply business.

And a few other friends of the family that I called.

And they're all willing to help?

Well, I told them how hard you've been working

and that you're determined to rebuild the place...

or die trying, and they liked that.

Thanks.

What is the deal here?

Nobody tells me anything anymore?

I just figured--

You just assumed that I would say no to karate

because of your heart.

You would have said yes?

No, not while you were still taking medications.

Well, now I don't.

I mean, the doctor says I'm fine--

And I love karate.

It's the coolest thing I've ever done.

You should see how hard he trains.

It's really impressive.

I love that you're trying new things,

but why karate?

Okay. Charlie and I had this idea.

Did you?

We though that I would quit karate

if you went to my first match and didn't like it.

You're gonna fight another boy?

Actually, it's a girl.

And you're gonna flatten her.

Sorry. Go on. Ahem!

Well?

Okay. It's a deal.

So when were you gonna tell me that you're training Picaro?

It wasn't something that I planned on.

I'm helping Dani as a friend.

It just esca--

Escalated.

Some trainers have more than one horse in a race all the time.

No, you can't play both sides.

It doesn't work that way, ask Tina Sharp.

I am notTina Sharp.

And I am not Emil Lachlan.

He's ridden in 522 races,

and I've been in one!

So when you promised me

that you'd be there for me every step of the way,

I didn't expect you to go out

and train another horse to beat me.

But this is the way I see it.

You train every horse to do the best he can.

You help every jockey to bring that horse along.

And after that, it's a horserace.

Nobody knows who's gonna win.

I'm sorry I'm freaking out, Matt, but I am.

I get it.

But haven't I done a good job for you so far?

Yes, you've done a good job.

So are you gonna quit working for Dani?

No.

Say you're here for me.

I'll be there for you.

You have to believe me because I am not kidding.

I am here for you.

Do you hear me?

I believe you.

But I doubt your mom will.

Yeah.

And it's Avatar and Wildfire neck and neck.

At the line...

Avatar wins!

Look,

except for the break in concentration down the stretch,

you ran a great race.

That break cost me the race.

Tell me how I won't do that again.

I can't.

Do you not want me to win?

I don't know if this helps, but...

this race is yours to win.

That little voice is telling me...

I should have told you I was working with Dani and Picaro.

I can't believe that I had to hear it from somebody else.

No. Kerry told me, protecting his client,

which I totally understand.

But wait...

You volunteered me to train Wildfire.

It was not my idea.

Are you blaming me?

No, no, no, I'm not blaming you.

Kris is all right with the arrangement.

Are you?

Yeah.

Look, this might not have been the smoothest move, but...

I've been killing myself around here.

So I thought I've earned the freedom to...

at least find a job so I can make some money for myself.

No matter how hard you work around here,

you will never earn the right to work for Davis.

Dani Davis is not her father.

But he is her father,

and you remember that!

Hi. This is Junior Davis.

I think Rebecca talked to you yesterday.

Uh, I have an electrical issue

in my club due to a flood--

What are you doing?

Your worries are over.

Tell me how.

I've decided to invest $60,000 in your club.

I believe in you.

What better way to prove it

than putting my checkbook where my mouth is.

Oh, my God! Thank you.

I have to call Pete.

I already did. He's thrilled.

So, to celebrate, why don't you and I

go to the track together on Saturday?

Um...

I don't think so.

I have so much work to do here.

The fifth race is Kris Furillo on Wildfire

against Dani's horse Picaro.

Thanks, but I'll pass.

Okay.

I understand.

I can't believe we're here.

Look at Todd. He's thrilled.

I'm raising Bruce Lee.

White belts Marianne Burgess and Todd Ritter.

What are the odds?

Odds of what?

The odds of his not getting hurt.

I mean, the punches,

the jabs, the eye gouging.

They don't allow eye gouges.

He is in the twentieth growth percentile of his age group.

She looks very mean.

Let's just be positive.

Come on, Todd.

Oh!

Todd, you can do it.

Uhh! Uhh!

Come on! It's clobbering time!

Hey, we don't do that here.

That's your problem.

Hey, ref! That's a foul. Can she do that?

Who is that guy?

Ref!

I have no idea.

Go Todd! Todd! Todd! Todd! Todd!

Todd! Todd!

Todd! Go! Go! Todd! Todd!

Yes!

Point. Winner.

He won!

Shake hands.

You okay? Yeah.

That's so cool.

My parents just drop me off in the parking lot.

Congratulations!

Great job, buddy.

Hey.

Hey.

Surprised to see me behind enemy lines

this close to race day?

Something like that.

Is that Pablo's training book?

Yep.

The secret to Picaro winning is in there.

No.

The secret to Picaro winning...is here.

What happened to this being strictly business?

You should sue me for sexual harassment.

Hmm.

Ahem!

Ready to go.

Unless you're too busy.

How are things going?

Great. Working hard to kick your butt.

Cute.

Feel free to come visit us in the winner's circle, okay?

I guess Dani's more of a "hands on" kind of owner.

We're not gonna have this argument.

Not at all.

I've been thinking a lot about what you said.

I need to be more flexible.

So when I see you distracted, making out with your employer,

I go with my gut.

I keep my eyes on the prize.

I assume that you will, too.

What are we doing today?

Let's work him 3/8 from the gate.

Great. Thanks.

Hey.

Breathe.

Relax.

If you're relaxed, he'll relax.

You'll be great.Definitely.

You'll win for sure.Definitely.

Doesn't your other client get jealous

of you spending so much time with us?

I don't know. Do yours?

Listen, Wildfire will want the lead from the start,

but you can't let him shake loose, okay?

You need to save some horse for the end.

Wait until you turn for home,

then you can let him have his head.

You let him loose.Wait that long?

Don't worry.

He's got a full mile and a half in him.

I hope I do.

You do.

You can win.

You just need to know it, okay?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

It's about time.

Relax. Relax. I'm here.

Okay. I just hate to wait.

Speaking of waiting, don't, okay?

When the gate opens, let him go to the front.

Don't pull him back.

If you do, he'll take the bit.

If you get boxed in, go to the outside.

It may seem like the long way around,

but he can win even if he has to give up some ground to do it.

So you think we can win?

You think you can win?

Sure.Then let's go race.

I don't like it.

He could be giving all of Wildfire's secrets to Dani for Picaro.

He'd never do that.

How can you be so sure?

Because he wouldn't.

I need you to draft a cashier's check for 60,000.

I'm just your accountant.

But you know you've been flat broke for over a year.

Where do you think you're gonna get 60 grand?

Let me worry about where.

All you need to know is I'll have the funds deposited

by end of business on Monday.

Now, stop whining and cut the check.

Hey, little sister.

Hey!

Good luck. Thank you.

Where you going?

Down to the rail.

I can't sit up here with Dad.

He's not here.

He will be.

I'm getting a little worried about the odds here.

Why? I think Wildfire at 4-1 makes sense.

But with Wildfire's inexperience at a mile and a half,

Kris' inexperience at a mile and a half.

Kris' inexperience in general.

Matt's inexperience as a trainer.

Let's just be positive.

You know, I got a hundred bucks here on Kris Furillo to win.

You?

I got your hundred...

and I got 900 more.

Show-off.

See, I'm positive where it counts.

Here they come.

You ready for this?

You're gonna get a paper cut.

Didn't expect you to show up.

Didn't expect you to show

since you said you weren't showing.

Well, I've got my reasons to be here.

What are yours?

Not you. Oh. Of course.

I love the ponies.

Ponies?

Excuse me.

Hey, guys.What's up?

You mind if I hang with you?

Sure. Cool.

Couldn't decide where to sit?

Something like that.

Nervous?

No, I'm good.

Here.

Thanks. Yeah.

Good luck, man.

One minute to post.

You run your race and we'll do just fine.

And the post positions are...

In the 2, Wildfire. Third post...

Okay.

All horses are in the gate.

The flag is up.

Away from the gate they go.

Wildfire in the yellow color

starting quickly to take the early lead.

Come on Picaro.

Go Picaro! Go Kris!

You're rooting for both of them?

He's not the only one.

Picaro taking the lead

on the far side now

with Wildfire right there in second.

Don't use him up, Kris.

Come on Picaro.

Not yet.

Hold him.

Kris should let him go.

Go Wildfire! Come on!

Wildfire and Picaro.

Let him go loose!Go Wildfire!

If she doesn't let him go soon,

it's gonna be too late.

It's Picaro and Wildfire.

Come on Picaro! Come on!

Hold him. Hold him.

Now. Sorry, buddy!

Wildfire can't shake Picaro.

They're neck and neck. Who's gonna win?

The jockey who wants it more.

Come on Wildfire! Come on!

Cone on Picaro! Come on! Let's go!

It's Wildfire and Picaro.

Picaro and Wildfire.

It doesn't get any closer than this.

They're at the finish. It is...

Wildfire!

Yeah!

All right!

First and second?

Are you kidding me?

You are the king!

You see this guy? He's the king!

Aaahhh!

Whoo! Ha ha!

Come here.

A mile and a half is a long way.

I have never been so tired and so happy.

That was awesome.

I knew you could do it.

Yeah. Terrific ride, Kris.

We're winners!

Beautiful. Good. Thank you.

Great race.

You were great.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

I'm sorry. I know you wanted to win.

Hey. Place is pretty good.

Pretty good?

Considering it took me 25 races

to get a horse to place,

I'd say Dani Davis Farms

is off to a pretty good start.

Little family reunion, huh?

Ha ha ha! You did it!

Uhh!

Wedid it.

I had the easy part.

Without Pablo and Henry, we wouldn't be here.

Good job.

You did good.

Ken!

Oh, my God. What do you want?

It's what youwant.

Me out of your life again...

and Junior back home.

I can make both those things happen.

How much? You're good.

Half a million.

Why would you need to extort money from me, hmm?

Your husband seems to have left you well-provided for.

It's a long probate...

and my hairdresser only takes cash.

Why do you care what I do with the money anyway?

Your son detests you.

Don't you want that to change?

You must think I'm a first-rate ass.

I'm too much of a lady to tell you what I really think you are.

So I give you half a million, Junior comes home,

you disappear.

Just like that?Just like that.

So, what do you have to lose?

I mean, besides your son.
