Previously onWildfire:After I spent those 4 years in jail,

I thought if I could help just one person not waste their life,

maybe my time spent there wasn't a total loss.

We shouldn't have done it. I'm so sorry.

So have you swore off all guys, or just Junior?

2 years ago, I had no future except crime,

so 1 dumb move, and I could end up back there.

Don't let her get to you.What? I'm fine.

You're fine.

We don't have any insurance.

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

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

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

How much.Half a million.

It's what you want-- Junior back home.

Look who's back.I'm not back. I'm here to tell you to stop sabotaging my life.

You can't just show up whenever the mood strikes you.

I'm in a relationship.

Pablo's away on an emergency.

Who's gonna train me for the race?Me?

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

This is Piccaro's trainer.You're Piccaro's trainer.

Dani, Davis is not her father.You will never

earn the right to work for Davis.

When you promised me that you'd be there for me,

I didn't expect you to go out and train another horse to beat me.

They're off!

Come on, Piccaro.Go, Kris!

Go Piccaro!You're rooting for both?

He's not the only one.Come on, Piccaro!

At the finish, it's Wildfire!

That's poetry in motion. He knows he's a winner.

Everybody knows he's a winner.

Hey, guys.Hey, stranger. Welcome back.

Good to be back. Listen, I'm sorry I missed the race.

I heard you were great.She was better than great.

So was Wildfire.Congratulations.

Thanks. Matt worked with us.

He followed your book to the letter.Really?

Mm-hmm.Really? So then why are you running him now?

It's not a workout or anything. He's just working off some pent-up energy.

He doesn't know what's good for him. After a race, a horse needs at least a couple easy days.

Then you see how far they want to go.He looked relaxed to me.

So I thought I'd let him out, let him stretch.

You let him walk, or trot, max.

He's doing really well.

Let's keep it that way.

Come on. Come on.

Hey. Welcome back, partner.Thanks.

Hey, I have some exciting news.Hmm?

Does the name Whiticus mean anything to you?

From the Sandpiper. Why?

New syndicate owns him, says he's gone sour,

and they want to hire us--

well, specifically you-- to train him.

I don't know if I can help until I see the horse.And you will.

They're gonna bring him by today.

I'm coming.

What's going on?

Get dressed. I'm taking you to breakfast.

Why are you even up so early?

"Early"? It's 10:00.

It's 10:00? Oh, my God!

I was supposed to be at the club and meet this guy,

this plumbing contractor.

We're trying to get the club back up and running.

Oh, "we"? Pete's back?

No, me and Rebecca. I got to go.Ah, Rebecca, huh?

Anything going on underneath all that hair?

Don't do this. She's really cool,

and she's been helping me so much with the club.

You know what they say about mixing business with pleasure.

You should say that to your new trainer.What trainer?

Matt's having a conflict of interest.

I don't think that he wants to work with Dani Davis farms.

You know, I think you should shorten it and call it "Double-D Farms."

I see Rebecca loves you for your rapier-sharp wit.

I save all my best stuff for you.

Hey, will you do me a favor, seriously, though?

Can you get off my back about Rebecca?

What if she's a moron? You need to be warned.

You let Kris walk all over you.

Kris didn't mean to hurt me.

But she did.

Just let me check this one out.

Look, there's nothing happening with her.Yet.

And I don't know if anything will.It will.

Come on! It's just dinner.

So, you're right on time as always, Ken,

but I know: time is money.

You've decided to give me some, haven't you?

I didn't come here to chat.All right. Then you can just give me the check,

and I'll be silently on my way.

After you convince my son to come home.

Our son. And I'll do my best.

You just do what you said you'd do.

Good.

And for what it's worth, I think he'll be home sooner or later.

Of course. He must be out of funds by now.

You really think it's all about the money,

don't you?It always was with you.

But not for our son.

Ah! He is gorgeous!

Wow.Yeah!

Wow!

Hear he doesn't like you, Pablo.Very funny.

All right. Do we have training and medical records?

They're sending them over.Make sure we get the conditioning books too.

I'll see to it.All right. Thank you.

Drywall contractor, and then we have to talk to the paint guy.

And those new fridges are coming on Thursday.

Listen, I can't be here anytime before 3 tomorrow, so...

What?Nothing.

♪ Don't you know I feel your spirit soar ♪

♪ As you jumped up to 6'4"

♪ Your dead expression

Hey.

Hello.How are you?

Good, how are you doing?How's your mom?

Well, she's good. She's getting better.

She's starting to talk again.Thank God.

I was just wondering... I wanted to get some old pictures

out of the boxes in the basement-- doctors said it might be good for her.

We really should sort through that stuff, divide it up.

Yeah, yeah, whenever we get around to it.

I was about to take a ride, but if you want some help...

No, if you don't mind me going in by myself.

Of course not.Good ride.

Thanks. Come on. Come on.

We need to talk.

Phrase every guy loves to hear.

Yes, listen.

It's about you training for me.

Dani, last time was an exception.

What if I sweeten the deal?

Gonna offer me full medical?I'm offering you full time with full-time pay.

You can stop working for your mom-- for free, I might add--

and then they'll be no conflict.

I'm not supposed to choose you over my family.

Raintree already has a trainer.

This isn't about your family. It's not even about me, in a way.

This is about what you do with your life.

Your mom is never gonna hire you while Pablo's the trainer, and you know it.

Ruben.Hey, Pablo. Long time.

What the hell you doing here?

I brought you my horse to fix. Whiticus.

Your horse?Hey, I've come a long way. You too.

I read how you rehabbed that Wildfire.

What did you do this time, man? Huh?

You know what's always been wrong with you? You're negative.

A negative guy? Me? I'm always looking for the good.

What's the good?The good is, I'm bringing you this horse,

and there's big money involved.

Who do you owe?

Huh? Zack again?

You still kissing his ass, trying to get him to notice you?

I know Zack, and he's a great guy.

Then you don't need me.See, I do.

Which is great for both of us.

You fix Whiticus like I know you can, and it's money for you.

They forgive my debt. Yes?No.

I told you 10 years ago I was done bailing you out of trouble.

Hey, it's not me who went away.

I never did anything big like what you did.

Okay. Okay, Pablo. I'm not gonna talk about it.

You're saying you're not gonna help Zack?

It's not gonna be good for you.Get out.

And get that horse out now.

You're not seeing this. You can't let me die here,

'cause that's what you're gonna do.

You don't forget your friends, Pablo. You don't forget where you came from.

Get your hand off me.

You get cleaned up, right, Ruben?

Get yourself cleaned up. You'll be all right.

Make sure you get that horse out of here, you understand?

Yeah, right!I don't want to see you again, Ruben.

Who's that guy you were fighting with?

Are you in some kind of trouble?

Trouble's over.

Just one of those things, you know?

Jean?

Jean!

Hyah!

Isabelle, I still can't believe you did this.

This is great. Thank you so much!I'm happy to help.

Oh! This will cover the repairs,

and it'll take me a little while to pay you back, but...

Don't be silly. It's my pleasure.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I didn't break with my dad

to depend on someone else.

I just want to help you. That's all.Oh, I know, I know.

But what'll really help is letting me pay you back.

I'll sign a note.Stop it. I trust you, okay?

There's something else I need to tell you.

I'm gonna go away for a while.

But you just got here.I know,

but I have some houseguests coming to see me

and Florence next week,

and it's just too late to cancel.Oh.

But you're gonna come back, right?Of course.

Great. Thanks again.

Yeah. Look, um, you take care, all right?

Good luck.Thanks.

Hey, you.

Oh!What happened? You okay?

Oh, some kid came out of the riverbank on an A.T.V., spooked the horse.

Yeah, I saw him come back alone.

Hop on.

You good?Yeah.

Hang on. Fall off this time, I'm not coming back.

How come we never rode together back in the day?

Well, maybe 'cause you were never home.

Fair enough.

Never guess what I found in the basement.Mice.

Besides that.What else?

Remember that bottle of champagne we were saving from our wedding?

Oh, my God. Oh, yeah.

We were supposed to have that on our

20th anniversary.

Yeah. Didn't quite make it, did we?Nope.

Still doing okay, don't you think?

How do you mean?We're friends.

It's been a lot of years.

We still like each other.

That's more than a lot of people can say.

Yeah, I didn't think about it like that. You're right.

Well, thank you for saving me.

Anytime.

I'll put Stetson away for you.Thanks.

Put some ice on that, bud.

What happened to you?It was Whiticus.

Are you okay?I'm fine. The horse is out of control. It's not gonna work.

I'm gonna have him sent back.Oh, yeah, it's not worth it.

Whatever you think is best.

Why are you lying? You told me a different story. Why don't you trust me?

I need you to trust me.

Let it go.

So, dinner Friday,

7:30, the country club, me, you and Dani.

Great.And, um,

I've put together a handy list of Dani "do's and don'ts."

And here-- your research.

Italian Vogue? Yeah.

My sister loves to shop, so I figure if you drop the names

of a couple designers, you guys would have something to talk about.

She also knows racing stats and is fluent in French.

Je deteste parler Francais. Perfect.

Um, oh, she also really admires Madeline Albright.

Who is that? What-- I-- I don't get this whole thing.

She's not exactly what you would call

an easy person.

Mr. Betart.

Remember me?

I'm John Zack.Yeah.

My group owns Whiticus, among others.

Look, I want to apologize on behalf of my associate.

He doesn't have the greatest people skills.

Since you guys have a history, you probably know that, huh?

I know how exasperating he can be.

Ruben's a little screwed up right now. Just leave him alone,

give him enough time, I'll get your money.

Well, your concern speaks well of you,

but I'm not here to talk about Ruben.

His debt is off my books.

I want you to fix Whiticus.

Not doing anything for you.

Yes, you are.

'Cause now you're dealing with me,

not Ruben.

Come on. You should be flattered.

In spite of the fact that you committed a terrible mistake in your past...

I've paid my debt.Does your employer know exactly why?

The authorities? Especially if there's a current crime?

Something that relates to a past mistake?

"Current"? Where's Ruben?

You're awfully worried about some man you said you never wanted to see again.

Look, honestly,

if you do me this one favor,

I promise you'll never see either one of us again.

Where's Ruben?Ruben is my problem.

All right? Whiticus is your problem.

This is a blameless animal with a distinguished past

and a possibly bright future.

I do this for you, and that's it. No more.

That's it. No more.

It's all about the horse. It's painless.

You leave the Ritters out of this. You understand?

Understood.

But I want this done right away.

I'm not a patient man.

So we have a deal.

I don't know if this is a good idea.

They're not gonna pick him up today, so let's figure out what's wrong with him.

Pablo was just saying that--

Sometimes other people have good ideas too.

So you with me or not? Ho.

Yeah.

All right, then.Oh, crap.

Hey. Sorry.

No one came and picked him up,

and we thought we could be heroes.

It's okay.Really?

I had a change of heart.Told you.

What happened to your face?Nothing, okay?

The sooner we get him up to speed, the sooner we can send him home.

Let's get started.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Off, off, off.

Geez. That didn't go well.

Something's not right, that's for sure.

Hey, Junior, how goes it?

Uh, it's a mess, but we're getting there.

It looks great, though, man.Thanks.

You need anything from me before I go?No, I can handle it.

Oh, I know. Do you know a good mechanic?

My car's making this weird screeching noise.

I'll take a look at it. I'm not great, but I'm cheap.

All right.

Your engine belts are loose.

Sounds heinous!No, they're easy to tighten.

You got to replace that fan belt too.

After you do that, this should run like a champ.

Hey, Junior, I, uh...

I want to talk to you.

Pete, will you give us a minute?

Whatever you have to say, you can say in front of Pete.

Fine. I want you to come home.

If you agree, I, uh...

I'll reimburse you for all the money you spent on the club.

Why do you think you can just walk in here and tell me what to do?

Maybe I like what I spent my money on.

Maybe I don't want to move back. You ever think about that?

What are you doing to my boy?

Treating him like a human being.

Like you did Jean and the boys?

Fix your own family, Ken. Leave mine out of this.

"Windswept Racing. Whiticus purchased by Windswept Racing."

"Meet our partners."

"Business advisor, John Zack."

"John Zack was indicted for racketeering and extortion."

What?

You know anything about Whiticus's owner?

Yeah, I do.So then how can you work for him?

The guy's been indicted for extortion and racketeering.

He has people killed.

Not the horse's fault.Yeah, but that's not why we're doing this.

I know he's making you do this.

You asked me to trust you.

Okay, I do.

But whatever it is and whatever you did--Kris...

please just listen.

Sometimes there are things that a person does

that brands their soul for their life.

Things you never tell anyone.

Let's just leave it at that, okay?I trust you; trust me.

All you need to know

is that Zack can cause real trouble.

And not just for me-- for you, for the whole family.

Taking his money one time is not gonna hurt anyone.

But if I make him angry--We could go to the police.

No, we can't.

I agreed to fix Whiticus because Zack said he's leave us alone if I did.

I have to believe that.

You're the only one that knows this. Do you understand?

You asked me why I didn't trust you, but I do. So now you know.

Okay, so how can I help? What do you want me to do?

Just work with the horse, okay?

And don't tell the Ritters. I don't want to get them involved.

And who's Dani's favorite clothing designer?

Dolce & Gabbana.Right. And her favorite vegetable?

Creamed spinach.Yes.

Favorite baseball team?

That wasn't on the list.Right again.

Actually, the correct answer is, "Dani hates baseball."

Unless she's sleeping with one of the players. That's...

Did you give Dani a cheat sheet on me?

What's my favorite designer?

Did you know that I hate vegetables or that I'm fascinated by criminology?

I agreed to get to know Dani, so in return,

I'd like you to get to know me better.

I can do that.

Criminology? Like, serial killers and...

Ugh!

We changed his shoes. We'll see what that does.

Think that's it?Could be.

He's got to get used to them first, though.Pablo.

She's looking good! Wow, look at this horse.

Aren't you going to introduce us?

I'm Matt Ritter.

John Zack.My family owns the ranch.

Oh, absolutely picturesque.Thank you.

And you are?Kris Furillo.

Kris Furillo.

Saw you ride. You're talented.

Kris needs to, um, go feed the horses.

Go on.Isn't Kris gonna ride Whiticus?

Not today. New shoes.

Make it happen. Soon.

This bench is looking great, guys.

Thanks, Pete. Thanks a lot.

Hello? Hey, Jean. It's me.

Hi, you. Did you find that bottle of champagne?

Yeah, that's a great year.

I was almost tempted to drink it.

Well, why don't we?

What are you doing, Matt?Checking Whiticus's gait.

We already checked his gait.

Yeah, but doesn't his right hip look higher than the left one?

Yeah, he's right.

All right. Get the chiropractor out here.

Isabelle, what have you done with my money?

It was my money. The check had my name right on it.

You put some of it into that stupid nightclub.

Now, how is that encouraging Junior to come home?

Because he cares about that stupid club.Don't you play with me.

And don't you tell me that you came to find your long-lost son.

Your husband died broke. That's why you're here.

I'm here because Dani called me.

Yeah, it was nothing but good timing. Listen,

I've given you enough money to find a new husband. Now take it and leave.

I'm leaving. Don't you worry about that.

I just didn't count on liking my son so much.

Don't worry. You'll get over it.

He's definitely off-center.

What do you think happened to him?Could have had a fall.

He must be miserable.

Don't ride him. Any weight on the spine will make the pain worse.

Do you think he'll be okay?I think after an adjustment, he'll be fine.

Just give him a day or 2 before you ride him again.

All right, let's do it.

It's nice to finally meet you.

Junior's told me so much about you.It's nice to meet you too.

What have you heard?I hear that you're going to Princeton in the fall.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

That's a beautiful sweater. Is that Dolce & Gabbana?

No. Oh.

Um, Dani just started her own racing business.

That's great. How's that going?

Well, I'm looking for a trainer. I was hoping to hire Matt,

but he's stuck at Raintree.

Funny how none of them can get too far from Kris Furillo.

What are you guys having?I'll have the creamed spinach.

That's my favorite.I heard Madeline Albright likes it too.

Weird. Don't you just love her?

What's going on here? Am I being "Punk'd"?

What are you talking about?

You're tying way too hard to impress me.

Either my brother put you up to this, or you're crazy.

Why? Because I'm not up on my sweaters?

I'm just making an effort here.

You're about as much fun as Isabelle.

Isabelle.

Isn't she awful?

Completely crazy.I--

Completely crazy.

Do you know

what this is?

It's totally worth the headache.

Oh! Oh!

I didn't tell you.

I went to see Todd do karate.

You let Todd do karate?

He's really, really good.You wouldn't even let Todd ride a horse when he was little.

Does that make me a terrible mother?No. Absolutely not.

Are you sure?Hmm?

No insulting my ex-wife. It's not allowed.

What are you gonna do about it?

Be right back.

She's okay. I like her.

Really?

I could have done without the 20-minute rant on the Zodiac Killer,

but other than that, she seems pretty cool.

So, thanks for letting me meet her.

Well, thanks for not being a total bitch to her.

I honestly don't think that I start fights with your girlfriends.

Do you think that she can make you forget about Kris?

So I just checked on Whiticus.

He's doing a little bit better.

You know, Matt really called it. He has a great eye.

Matt's gonna make a hell of a trainer.

Let's hope that Whiticus gets a lot better,

'cause John Zack just called.

He wants to see him run tomorrow.

But the chiropractor said we needed a couple of days

before we can ride him.

So what should we do?

What if he's still sore?

Just keep walking him as long as possible.

I'll give you a signal.

He's not gonna win anything at a walk.

Just warming him up. It's early.

Tell her to step on the gas.

Straight as an arrow.

Got what I paid for.

Mr. Zack.Matt.

I thought the chiropractor said 2 days off.Nope.

Just fine, Matt."Chiropractor"?

What is this, a stable or a spa?It's a stable.

These horses need care and attention. Mr. Zack, you don't run--

Mr. Zack can see that Whiticus is just fine, Matt.

But my point is--The point is, he needed an adjustment.

Brought a chiropractor in. He's just fine.

Yeah. I checked his gait.

You figured this out?

Well, his hips were out of whack, I saw that,

had a chiropractor come in and fix his hips,

and now he's just fine.

Eagle eye.

Yeah. Eagle eye.

That's why he's the best trainer around.

Take notes, kid. You can learn something from him.

I did what you asked. Now we're done.

Don't you want to savor the moment?Your horse is ready to run.

He took credit for the whole thing.

If he had gone ballistic, Pablo would have taken the blame.

And he didn't. I fixed him. There's something going on.

Just calm down, all right? Pablo's our trainer. We work for him. It's okay.

No, no.

Not anymore.What?

Good morning.

Pete.How about I make us some breakfast? Huh?

What you want?Pete.

What?

We need to talk about last night.

It was great, wasn't it?

It was...

It...

It was inappropriate.

It shouldn't have happened, and...

it won't happen again.

Why?

Because I'm in a relationship,

and...

I-I was wrong.

So there's nothing between us. That's what you're saying.

I'm not saying.

It was a mistake.

Let's leave it at that.

That's what you want?

Yeah.

Yes.Really?

Yes.

Well...

Hey.Hi, Rebecca. How are you?

Good, thanks.Um, is Junior in today?

No, he has the day off. I'm just picking something up.

You know, I slid a letter for him under the door,

and I think it would be better if I dropped it off at the loft.

Is this it?That's it.

Thank you.You're welcome. Bye.

"Dear Junior,

"I know the two of us haven't seen eye to eye in some time,

"but I'd like to try and mend that.

"I might not have been the best father,

"in your opinion,

"but all of my decisions were made with

"your well being in mind.

"But I want to say

"I'm sorry for my mistakes.

"I want to explain and start again.

"If you'd like to hear me out,

"I'll be at the country club bar tonight at 6:30.

"It's time we sat down and talked like fathers and sons do.

"I love you,

Dad."

We did what we had to. Now let's just pretend it never happened.

What about Matt? You really hurt him.

He'll get over it.

No one needs to know.

Mom, I want to talk to you about my future here.

Your future here? What do you mean?

This is your home. I hope someday you're running it.

I mean now, though.

I finally figured out what I want to do.

I want to train horses.

Yeah, you're good at it, but...

Matt, what are you trying to say to me?

Dani's asked me to train her horses.

Paying job?

She made me a great offer.

Mom, I want your blessing.

You know how I feel about you working for Davis Farms.

You never have to question my loyalty. You know that.

Does this feel right to you?

Yes, it does.

Oh, yeah, it's been an exciting year here at Raintree.

Pablo hiring Kris was just a bonus,

and she's become a part of the family.

It's just been great for everybody.Nice.

Something wrong with Whiticus?

Fit as a fiddle.

Ran his stable mate off his feet this morning.

I was just paying my bill.

Well, it's been a pleasure,

and if you ever have any more problem horses, you know who to come to.

Oh, I sure do.

Jean, it has been a pleasure. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Nice lady.

Just remember our deal. We're done.

But now we're all getting to know each other.

That's a good thing.

What if I tell the truth about you?

Then I'll be compelled to tell the truth about you someday.

Funny thing about Ruben...

What do you mean?Guy vanished.

You know anything about that?

Apparently, you two had a fight.

We talked about it last time.

Cuts, bruises...

All kinds of people saw those.

You know I didn't kill him.

How do I know that?

You're the last person to see him alive.

Isn't that right?
