Previously onWildfire.

I want you. I want us to be together.

There's something going on between you guys.

Yeah, there is something.

Junior, wait. What? I'm sorry.

Me, too.

So I should be the good friend and tell you that it's cool

for you and Kris to be together. I can't.

Your two farms have been racing head-to-head for 51 years.

How'd it feel when your friend stole your trainer?

He didn't. You don't steal from a friend.

You guys handled that like pros.

That's what friends are for, right?Am I that good of an actor?

You just said on camera--On camera I lied.

Didn't you?

Damn it! Junior.

What!

I won't be giving the Ritters

any special information on Avatar.

And I won't be giving you any on Wildfire.

Hey! Look out!

Oh, my God.

She was bumped.

Tragic when the best horse doesn't win.

We'll beat Avatar next time.

In fact, I have a group ready to finance a rematch

between Avatar and Wildfire.

$1 million.

We want to keep this under the Race Board's radar.

Hello? Having Gillian around

will seriously mess with Kris and Matt's heads.

Well, good evening.

How's the water?Will you join me?

How are things?Good.

Excuse me.She's so...together.

2500. Hmm?

That's how many pounds of rice bran we go through a week.

$12.50 a bag.

Well, you know,

$1 million buys a lot of rice bran.

And a lot of nice horses.

O's under-the-radar match race?

It's totally insane.

I mean, if the Racing Board ever found out,

I mean, they'd... they'd flip out.

They really come down on that kind of thing.

It's totally crazy.

Not to mention totally illegal.

But, you know, it is O's racetrack.

I mean, how would they ever find out?

It would make a lot of this red ink go away.

No, no way. I mean, we can't do it.

Too risky.Yeah.

And, I mean, Jean and Pablo would never, ever go for it.

Never.

Maybe we should just have a sit-down with O.

Yeah, I mean, it wouldn't hurt hearing the guy out.

That was some horse auction, huh?

I can't believe we got that filly for such a great price.

Furillo, don't you know by now?

There's nothing we can't do.

He's a great horse, Jean.

You sure you don't want to sell him at auction?

No, I'd much rather he was with you at Davis.

I mean, after all, you trained Gallant.

You put a lot into him.

Yeah, we both did.

Remember all those times he used to buck

and kick up those clouds of dust?

And stones. I still got the scar to prove it.

Still? Yeah.

It adds character.

Um, one cookie.

What I was saying is, just because we're partners in Wildfire

doesn't mean you have to give me the insider's price.

You can do a lot better than this.

I know Raintree's not doing well right now.

No. Raintree's fine.

Anyway, I was thinking of downsizing

to a-a smaller stable,

so I could concentrate on our best horses,

like Wildfire.

You know, you two are good partners.

You're chocolate and chips.

Thank you.

Sweet buy, Janie Jumper.

Why, thank you.

So, uh, who's Janie Jumper?

Seriously, Miss British Boarding School.

You are an American pop culture wasteland.

Oh, really? Yes!

In this getup, you are a dead ringer

for Dani's favorite doll growing up.

Janie Jumper dressage set.

Bridle, stirrups, and plastic carrots not included.

You're making me feel so deprived.

Look, thank you for letting me board my horse here

until I have to ship him back. Sure.

The welcome mat is always out.

Hey, what do you say

once we get done with this guy,

you and I go out on one of our famous long lunches.

Oh, we can try this new Mexican place.

Bring him back some fish tacos.

Well, believe it or not,

I didn't just dress like this for your amusement.

Oh.I'm in the, uh, Opening Jumper Classic at the Fairfields.

You want to come watch?

Rain check?

That horse better have a Coggins test.

Dearest darling delightful Dani.

I told Gillian she could park her horse here for a little while.

Oh, I must have missed the memo

where you appointed yourself in charge of new boarders.

Well, if it's a problem, I can-- No.

We have an empty stall.

Just ask next time.

Um, I've got to go.

But, uh, thank you.

Mm-hmm.

And I'll see you later.

All right. Hey, good luck.

Dani.

I'm due at a meeting.

With who?

With O?

Okay, what is this deal you guys are planning anyway?

I only share info on a need-to-know basis.

Okay, well, what about the quarterly report?

The accountant called and said he wants us to sign off

on some expen--You don't sign anything.

I have final say on all Davis Farms business.

Look, I know things have been hard for you

with R.J. and everything, and they've been hard for me, too.

I just think you need to find a healthier way of channeling your grief

than just pulling rank on me all day.

I mean, I'm just trying to get back in the swing of things.

Play nice.

The last time I checked, your name had been deleted from the letterhead.

If you had a problem with that, then you shouldn't have cashed in your shares.

Do me a favor, and don't ever bring up R.J. again.

Jean, we brought home a little surprise for you.

Get that horse out of here.

Who gave you permission to buy a horse without discussing it with me first?

Permission?We're struggling to maintain the stable we have.

I just sold Gallant.

You sold Gallant without asking me?

You bought a horse without asking me?

She's not just an ordinary horse.

Matt's had his eye on the yearling since she was born.

What we need to focus on is the future of this ranch.

Horses are the future of this ranch, Mom.

So who are these peeps of yours?

The ones that are willing to put up

the obscene amount of cash to make this race?

Look, everybody knows Bristol Stakes wasn't a clean win.

Some of us are looking for a fair fight.

Avatar won. End of story.

Davis Farms has nothing to prove.

But, we are open to cooperative ventures,

provided that our generosity will be repaid.

We don't want this to get out.

Nobody does. It's a private, highly-lucrative transaction

between two horse ranches and their friend.

It's nobody else's business.

I don't know. Hey, if you're not sure

that Wildfire can win against Avatar.

Without Wildfire, there'd be no race, so...

Look, it's not like we haven't competed against each other before.

It's once around the track and then we all go home.

Actually, it's not on a track.

It's not? Okay, you just bought the track.

I assumed that--When I mentioned my investors are looking

for a bigger kind of action,

one they can't get at a legit track, I meant it.

They're looking for a seriously higher-stakes kind of event.

Like what?

A ten-mile point-to-point race through the countryside.

With no rules.

First one across the finish line wins.

By the way...

the purse has been doubled.

Two mil.

$2 million?

Nice ride.

Yeah, thanks.

Wow, livin' on the edge.

You know it. That's why I'm here.

Work out the little specs of a match race Dani and I are planning.

Oh, yeah, I heard about that.

Interesting deal.

You know, you can talk to me if you want.

Dani's out back interviewing a new jock.

Oh? You seen the course?

I haven't had a chance to.

Very "over the river, through the woods."

Be totally pay-per-view if it wasn't totally illegal.

Totally.

I gotta roll, man, but love you Davis's.

Mad dogs and bull riders.

Who else would sign on for guerilla-style horse racing?

She's inside?

Yeah, she's just out back.All right.

So O said that it's ten miles from Fair Willow.

It's past Lucky Bee Farms,

and then it's along the riverbed here

to the base of Morgan Hill.

This course is way too insane.

Not to mention trespassing,

illegal gambling, tax evasion.

We could be stripped of our racing license.

What if we lost?

Which we wouldn't.But what if we did?

We'd be risking you and Wildfire for nothing.

The terrain is way too risky for Wildfire.

He could break his leg or you can break your neck.

They can't do this.

Who? What's going on?

Bank's calling in our loan.

We're six months behind?

Creative money moving, you know.

I was trying to plug the biggest holes.

If we default on the loan,

the bank will put a lien on Raintree.

Well, we won't let that happen.

Brian Alston called the other day.

That's not gonna happen.

Who's Brian Alston?

He's a circling vulture waiting to pounce.

He made an offer on a few acres of Raintree's a while ago.

Listen, I told him that the parcel of land he wanted isn't for sale.

But I've been thinking about the 25 acres bordering the back pasture.

No. The trees are too thick for trails.

It's too rocky for a pasture, I mean,

the land is no good for anything.

Our family has kept Raintree intact for four generations.

No.

Well, the way I see it is,

you sell a little land and you keep the family business.

I would rather sell some of the young stock.

What good is it to have a horse ranch if you don't have any horses?

Well selling Raintree acreage isn't one of them.

Matt.

No, li-- No. Listen.

I'm a partner in Raintree,

and it's time you start treating me like one.

I didn't tell you about the match race

because it's none of your business.

Just because we share the same last name

doesn't mean that you have a power position at Davis Farms.

As you keep reminding me.

Well I earned it, okay?

While you've been off trying to find yourself,

I've been here running things.

So I took some time to figure things out.

First it was a club, and then it's bull riding,

and now you want to run the ranch.

Until when, Junior?

Till something more interesting comes along?

I know you. You want all the perks while it's my ass that's on the line.

Why is me being involved in the running of Davis such a threat to you?

Because, you lead with your emotions and not with your head.

Like, for instance, when you fired Kris.

She was the best rider for Avatar.

So I'm guilty of being human.

That does not make you more of a Davis than I am.

Do you really want to know

why I didn't tell you about the match race?

Yes.

Because I knew that you would say no

to risking Dad's favorite horse.

You wouldn't be able to just set your feelings aside

and look at the bottom line.

But I haven't even told you what I think.

Well, don't. Forging ties with O is worth a lot more than any one horse.

It's good business.

And whatever it is you think, just keep it to yourself.

Because not advertising this race is in everybody's best interest.

What are you doing?

I'm so rethinking O's proposition.

What?

There's a reason that neither one of us has called O yet.

I've been taking Wildfire through the paces,

and he has cleared every single jump.

There's a big difference between jumps in a ring

and a five-foot barbed-wire fence.

But we've done it before.

I mean, don't you remember? We outran the police.

He's even cleared an S.U.V.

He's tough.

And Avatar has never even set a foot off the track.

It's too risky.

Matt, watching you and your mom fight,

it just reminds me of the fights that I had with my mom.

You know what? It destroyed us.

And I'm-- I'm not willing

to let that happen again.

I would do anything for this family.

He seems happy here.

Well then maybe you both should stay.

Come on, Parsons. Give it up.

Da-da! Hey. Nice.

Well, there were six of us in the jump-off, so I thought I'd just go for it.

I cut three stries on the approach to the oxer.

Clear around. Lowest time.

Wow, I am impressed.

Well, you know what they say.

Throw your heart over the fence and... horse'll follow.

Well, I had a suspicion you might win.

Oh, really? So I got you a little trophy of my own.

Oh, Janie Jumper!

It's amazing the things people unload on the internet.

Oh, she's...look at her. She's...She's hideous.

Yeah.

This is the best present ever.

I-I'm sorry.

No, why?

I don't know, I just...

I guess a part of me is still in...

in love with Matt.

I don't want to hurt you.

As much as I try and fight it,

part of me is...

still in love with Kris.

Yeah.

When will this go away?

God, I don't know... Every time I see them,

I just feel like they're laughing at me behind my back.

But you know they're not.

I know, I know. It's just...

It just...It just feels like they won.

I know. It's killing me.

I just wish there was some way that...

that...What?

We could win.

Hey, Kris.

Pablo and I just decided to run Wildfire

in the Dixieland Handicap this Saturday.

Saturday? Yeah.

You know, I mean, a mile and a quarter

really isn't his best distance.

Maybe the Lechatte would be better the following week.

Lechatte?

Yeah, why trailer him all the way to Hollywood Park?

The Dixieland's right here.

So we're on.

I'll call Tim Jones to shoe him tomorrow.

Oh, we're not using Tim anymore.

Why not? He's the best farrier.

Enh, he's also the most expensive.

Conrad's just as good.

Well, I'm happy to pay, Jean.

Oh, it's not your responsibility.

What I'm trying to say is,

I don't think we should cut corners

at the expense of the best care for the horse.

Ooh. Mmmm.

So, you've seen the plans for the hotel complex.

Are you gonna tell me what you think or not?

I think it's really cool that you're into this race.

Most people would have freaked.

Hmm. Well it is pretty risky, you know.

You're lucky that I went for it.

Went for what?

Uh, buying hay futures.

Dad, you remember Omar al-Hadn, right?

Sure, I know your brother.

Later, Dani. Bye.

Big Daddy D.

I know what's going on here.

The whispering, the way you're training Avatar

in the morning before anyone gets up.

I don't want this horse race, Dani.

You think that because Junior bought Avatar for me,

you have to control all the training or else he gets all the credit.

It's Junior. Yeah, Junior.

He's taken a little longer to grow up, I'll admit, but...

he could be a very effective ally for you if you give him a chance.

He's got a lot more grit than you give him credit for.

Well, I'll believe it when I see it.

Listen, I know something about substituting anger for grief.

It's part of the process.

But don't blame Junior for R.J.

Dani, since the heart attack,

all I want...

is for us to work together,

like a family.

You know, the racing world is tough enough.

We have to stop fighting each other

and focus on beating the competition.

Yeah.

Wow, she's quiet.

You don't miss your family anymore?

Oh, she probably does.

But like the rest of us,

she's solving her problems with food.

Right?

I guess everyone has to cut ties sometime.

Except here.

I mean, you've created a family business

where growing up doesn't have to mean leaving.

If Matt and I don't kill each other first.

I'd love to see him and Todd and their kids running Raintree someday.

Ugh.

Here. Take it.

Yes?

Hey, Ron, um...

Listen, uh, I know that you hit a brick wall at the bank.

But, uh, let me run this idea by you.

Wow.

Taking care of Avatar yourself.

You really do care.

I can't afford to have other people involved

in Avatar's training for the match race.

It's too risky.

Well, I think I may have solved your little jockey problem.

You have not been shooting your mouth off about this, have you?

Whoa, don't get your panties in a bunch.

You just told me yesterday Sartino bailed on you.

All the secrecy.

Dad's everywhere these days.

Why don't you just go ahead and tell him already?

I mean, Avatar is half his.

Because, ever since his near miss with jail time,

he wants everything on the up and up.

It's very inconvenient.

Even that adrenaline junkie Tina Sharp doesn't want to do it.

She doesn't do jumps.

Maybe this is a sign.

I'm gonna call O. I'm out.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute.

Why don't you just loosen your iron grip for a minute

and maybe we can talk this through.

Don't push me, Junior.

Well, what about your big real estate deal?

Isn't that gonna fall through if this little match race with O does?

It's not worth putting the farm at risk over it.

End of story. Done. It's over.

Yes, She Who Must Control.

How am I gonna tell O?

Why don't you let me handle that?

I'll take the fall, tell him it was my decision.

And then maybe you can still do business with him.

That's not a bad idea.

Hey.

As much as I hate to admit it, okay.

You call him.

Wow.

Maybe you'll let me run the farm someday.

There room for two?

Yeah, of course.

It's nice.

Yeah. Henry built it for my mom when she was a little girl.

Wow, that's so cool.

The only thing I got from my family was my temper.

Yeah. It's pretty.

But man, it's just a tree and...

a swing.

This is the parcel I'm gonna subdivide off and sell.

Brian Alston wants to build his postmodern house here.

What are you talking about?

I...I've made some mistakes.

This isn't your fault, Matt. It's mine.

No, no, no. Ever since I've taken over, I mean...

the ranch has taken a nosedive.

We've lost boarders, we've lost races.

I'm learning.

And I-I like it.

I never thought I would.

I mean, the best part is the young horses.

Selling off a few acres is better

than losing ones I've picked and trained

before they've even had a chance to show their stuff.

Well, you don't-- you don't have to sell the land.

I mean, Wildfire and I are gonna win that race.

You should have seen him this morning.

What?

I ran the course for the race.

Kris, it is suicide.

Remember what we were talking about the other day?

How you wanted to cut through McNeir's ranch

and go through the forest?Matt, it's the straightest line.

Otherwise, it's like a two-mile detour.

It's full of boulders and trees that have fallen.

The horse is gonna break his leg.

We'll go around.

I don't want you or Wildfire getting hurt

so some rich guys can get their kicks.

You know what? Life, it's all about taking chances.

You can't just back away 'cause something gets a little scary.

Scary doesn't even begin to describe it.

You're sheltered.I'm sheltered? You are.

I mean, you grew up on a ranch

where people build rope swings for each other.

Wildfire and I can do this.

And I've made some mistakes too, but you know what?

This is my chance to make things right.

The Kerry stuff is getting old.

To you it is, but not to me.

This is not your decision. This is ours.

We will find another way to get the money.

So, uh, Davis chicken out?

One of them didn't.

Where's Matt?

I'm by myself. Is that a problem?

You don't change, do you?

What's that supposed to mean?

You're a lone wolf.

Well, I didn't want to get Jean and Matt involved.

Hey, it's a compliment.

Kris?

Kris?

Kris?

Listen up. The rules are simple.

When I say go, you go.

First one to the big tree at the base of Morgan Hill wins.

Now, you have the maps,

but there is no set course.

You can go anywhere you want.

even through the center of the town, if you're that crazy.

Just make sure no one grabs your license plates.

The race could take half an hour.

I almost forgot.

Whoever crosses the finish line first,

gets to take this baby home.

Two mil.

Loser gets squat.

You guys got it?

So no set course, no rest stops.

No checkpoints, no paramedics.

You're on your own.

Damn it, Junior.

Bets in a bag, gentlemen.

Wildfire-Avatar. Time to put your money on the line.

Don't do this.

Well, I know why I'm here,

but I just can't figure out why you are.

Well, victory can be very therapeutic.

Good luck.

You guys ready?

Go!

Hyah!

Let's go! Let's go!

Hey, Dani.

Junior, you have got to stop this.

Uh, that horse has already left the barn.

Listen to me.

Dad is talking to Pablo right now.

I can't stall them forever.

You have gotta get that horse back here now.

I want this win.

This is bigger than revenge against Kris and Matt.

Uh, gotta go.

Junior?

Kris! Stop!

Yeah.

This is insane.

Glad you could make it.

There they are.

You know, if we hurry, we could probably catch 'em at the river.

Thanks.

What's the matter? You don't like a fair fight?

Come on.

Okay, this is it.

There they are. Over there.

They've got to go around the creek to the finish line.

Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa.

We got it, we got it. Come on.

Come on!

All right, let's do this for Raintree.

Do it! Let's do it!

No! No! No! Kris! No!

Yes. Go.

Come on!

We've got it!

Yes!

I thought we were a team.

Forget it.

I'm glad you're okay.

Furillo.

Want your money or not?

I had my money on Wildfire. I knew you'd do it.

Here, take this.

You gonna go out and celebrate?

No, I-- I need to get home.

Okay. Good job.

Jean...

I-I know that it was really crazy, but...

it was the only way to help Raintree.

So-- No, it wasn't.

It wasn't the only way. It was the wrong way.

Jean, I have $2 million in here.

Take it. Wildfire and I won it fair and square.

I did it for us.

I did it for Raintree.

Please. Here. Take it.

The fact that you can't understand why I would never take that money

is more disappointing to me than anything else.

It's not just today, Jean, it's everything.

We're still partners in the horse.

I just think it's better if he stables with me for the time being.

At Davis? Why?

Because he's not getting top quality care here.

Not to mention, he could've been killed today.

I just can't believe you let this happen.

It's no way to run a ranch.

When you stole this horse today, you turned back the clock.

Right back to being that inmate I first met at Camp Lagrange.

And if you can forget everything that's happened

since you've been here,

so can I.

Come on.

Pablo.

Pablo.Jean.

Hank?

I'm sorry to inform you the California Racing Board

has officially charged you with violating the state law

prohibiting unsanctioned horse racing where there's betting.

You're charged with a misdemeanor,

and if found guilty,

face up to $100,000 fine

and lose your racing license.

Why did you call the racing board?

I told you to stop the race.

Dani, an illegal match race.

I had no choice.

I've checked the files. The racing license owners

are Danielle Davis and Ken Davis, Sr., correct?

I'm Ken Davis. What's going on here?

The race was arranged without our knowledge.

By my brother.

It's my racing license you should take.

Matt, just stop. Look, here's the money.

I haven't even touched it.

I'm the one who stole the horse.

They do not deserve to be punished.

Jean, Pablo, Matt.

They didn't even know about it.

Just me.

If I plead guilty, will you leave the Ritters and Pablo alone?

Your jockey's license will be revoked in all 50 states.

What about them?

We won't pursue the matter.

I can't believe that you put us in this position.

You're the one that called the cops.

You made me do it.

How dare you two pull a stunt like this behind my back?

Dani, if you plead guilty, you'll lose your racing license,

but they'll drop all the other charges and the fine.

Me?You're the majority shareholder.

For appearances' sake, they can't let us off scot-free.

Junior doesn't have a license.

So you'll have to take one for the team.

You're just gonna let me take the fall for this?

You did it.

Wow.

I guess you really are a Davis after all.

At this moment, I'd love to disown the both of you.

I don't want to be somewhere that I'm not wanted.

The truth is that my half of the farm is useless

without a racing license.

So...you want to be a partner so badly?

Fine. I'll sign my share of the farm over to you.

That's 137 horses, 52 employees,

67 races a year.

Dad.

Good luck.

The fact that you did this...

is why I love you.

It's also why you can't stay here anymore.

She took the blame. Protected us.

If she hadn't run the race,

there'd be nothing to protect us from.

We almost lost our family business today.

She did what she thought was right.

That's right. And her judgment is off.

Way off.

You can't kick her out.

I just did.

Who the hell are you to decide that?

This is more than business.

This is my life you're messing up!

Kris! Let go of me, Matt!

I hurt your family enough.

Kris!

Pretty cushy digs here at Davis.

Don't get too spoiled.

Although you deserve the best.

You are the greatest horse.

What you did out there today...

Be good for your new rider, okay?

Promise me.

Mom!

Mom.

Kris didn't come back.

She left her phone--

Where are all the horses?

They're gone.

What do you mean they're gone?

Gone where?

I sold them.

All of them.

Mom, what's going on?

We have enough to hold onto the ranch.

You sold the horses without asking me?

I did what I had to do.

First you kick Kris out....

for acting alone, and now you do this?

I'm gonna rebuild this place.

I-I'll get the horses back.

I'll get Wildfire back.

And I'll get Kris back, because I need her!

Mom.

What are you doing here?
