Original subtitles

It's a sad state of affairs when a man finally finds a woman to love and then

loses her because of one foolish indiscretion.

I wonder if Frank and Sonny read about it in the papers.

Nah, they're not the type to read those scandals, Pete.

Besides, Sonny's too young.

How old is she now?

She was only five or six when I visited them in Australia.

She must be twelve or so by now.

That was very nice of you.

That was great.

What did you do?

I went out dancing.

We were with a friend. It was fun.

Great.

So, who are you writing today?

I think I'm going to write a little action today.

A little action? Yeah.

He bites.

You're the hell of a dick, girl.

I've got to ride that damn Diablo because Red's been sick all this time.

damn stable boy's been taking him out and done.

Took him out and made him so sweaty and sick and put him back in the stall and

he ate and drank all that water and got all bloated and now he's just sick.

Got cholera. Oh no.

And heart attack.

Olivia's a noose.

One noose? She's always late. I am not.

I can't stand that girl.

What girl?

The one that works here. How Jesse looks so good this early in the morning.

I wonder how Frank looks now.

Older, I guess. Like me.

He's my brother, but I hardly know him. Half -brother, really.

But I hate the term half -brother.

He comes from the same womb.

He's my brother.

Let's break around.

Daddy, there's someone looking for you.

Daddy? You're Sonny?

Uncle Dalton?

You're awful big for 12.

12? You've got to be kidding.

I'm of age now.

Yeah, I should say so.

Horse needs a little gas. Where can I get it?

Doesn't need gas.

Well, he had a little gas on the way.

Dalton? Hey, Frank!

How you doing?

Great, mate. Hey, good to see you.

I hear Frank's going back to Australia for a while. And he's leaving Sonny all

alone. All by herself.

Unprotected. Oh, good.

I don't think so.

Thanks for coming down, Dalton. Sure thing.

I didn't want to leave Sonny alone, you know, while I'm away.

She hasn't been here very long.

Uncle Dalton, where's your luggage?

Uh, driver's bringing it down.

I rented this here horse in Burbank. Time to get the fuel for the Old West.

know, a man and his horse.

Gris for the mills.

Planning your next book?

Something like that. Gris, I think I've been damn fair with you.

Now, what do you want, more power?

Fine. I'll make you a partner in this venture, huh?

I don't want anything from you, Sam.

You go on, you build your condos any way you want to do. I do not want to

participate in it. You just leave me alone.

Chris, you know I can't build nothing until you sell me this land.

Now, what'll it take?

Nothing.

I've told you for the hundredth time, I don't want your money. It's not for

sale. You'd best get off my ranch, Sam.

Now, Chris, you gotta listen to me. Don't you be hugging me. I'm not your

friend. Chris, Chris, I want you to meet my brother.

He's going to be filling in for me. Chris Thomas, Dalton Leach.

Dalton Leach.

The writer?

Yeah, that's right.

I read about you in the papers.

So have I.

You'll be here for me, Chris. I won't be listening.

Sonny, why don't you take Uncle Dalton and show him around?

I've got things to wrap up with Chris before I go.

Sure, Daddy.

See you later.

You best keep him off my land.

He's made me some crazy proposition about buying up all my property, putting

condominiums. What would I do with the animals?

That man's not well in the head. I think he's sick. What was that all about?

Sam Marshall owns all of the land around here.

All except this ranch.

It's been in Chris's family since the 40s.

And Chris's father started the riding academy here.

It's all Chris has got, and he's not about to let it go.

That's Kai Jackson, the trainer here.

Kai Jackson?

Champion calf roper? Uh -huh.

I've seen him ride rodeo on TV.

He's a hell of an athlete.

What's he doing working here at the academy?

I'm not sure. I think he fell off his horse or something.

I haven't been here very long, so I don't know much about him.

Hi. I'm ready for my riding lesson.

Pay attention, Kai. You might miss something.

Like what?

Like this might be your lucky day.

Sam Marshall would like to see you.

Sam Marshall?

He owns half the county.

How do you know him?

You like him?

Told you, Uncle Dalton. I hardly know him.

Surely you've met some boys since you've been here. A nice, pretty, refreshing

girl like you.

You must have somebody knocking at your door.

Well, there is one boy.

Sweet. He's a ranch hand here.

He's a cowboy.

Born and raised around Horton.

And he's really quite sweet.

But there's nothing serious between us.

He's just someone to spend some time with.

You know what I mean?

Kind of a good pair of her for me, Dalton.

She's all I've got, you know.

Don't worry, Frank.

I'll keep her safe and happy. You can count on that.

Oh, that's right.

I thought you got it now.

Lenny.

Father, Father.

Is that your gear after this, Twink?

I was wondering when you were going to notice.

It's mine.

Are you getting someplace?

I was wondering when you were going to ask.

I'm hitting the rodeo trail.

I'm going to ride myself some bucking horses.

You can get hurt doing that.

Sure I can get hurt.

Get all busted up.

Hurt my back, my legs, my head.

Don't you worry.

If I had to crawl, I'd come back to you.

You would?

Why?

Because you're the nicest little woman I've ever known.

I'm going to make myself some money, take you away from here.

Find ourselves a nice spread, have some little buckaroos running around there

out in the dirt.

Will you wait for me, Sonny?

They're so sweet, sweet.

I'm deeply flattered. But nobody waits for a cowboy.

And besides, I don't want any little buckaroos. Little kangaroos?

Take care of yourself.

I'll never forget you, son.

on Facebook.

You know what broke my heart when I heard the news that the great Ty Jackson

babysitting those Beverly Hills Brats down at the Thomas Ranch?

I'm teaching him how to ride.

What did he say?

Look, it's not much, but I got hurt. I can't rodeo anymore.

I've got to make a living somehow.

Let me ask you something, Kai.

If you had all the money you wanted, what would you do?

Get a ranch somewhere.

And live like a man again.

It's done.

I'll take you to whatever you need if you just do one little job for me.

What kind of job?

I need to shut down Chris Thomas.

You see, I'm going to put up a country club and a golf course on my land.

I need his land to put up my condos.

Make him an offer?

Hell, I made him a dozen offers. He won't budge.

I need you to go down there and stir up a little trouble.

Nothing serious, you understand, but just go down and make a nuisance enough

them girls of his will quit the academy and he'll have to shut down.

I don't know.

Why don't you just think it over while I take care of business?

What the hell you got to lose, huh?

Let's play, lady.

You know what Daddy likes.

Two best women in the whole state, right there.

That is so fine.

I'll drink to that.

Tell you what, girls.

Why don't you stand up and get naked for daddy?

Let me just decide who the lucky girl is going to be today.

Come

here,

little darling.

Give me a kiss.

I think I'm going to fuck you.

Put up your best, sweetheart.

Why don't you just put your sweet little butt right up here.

You take that hungry little mouth of yours and do what you do best,

Just lie it out over a little bit, honey.

That's a big knee. That's enough, too.

I got something for you to do too, okay?

You want to play with your pussy though?

Mm. Mm -mm -mm.

You like that?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

That didn't look like me.

Isn't that hot, Bucky?

Is that the way you want it, Bucky?

I'd never do that.

All right, girls. Run along and get dressed. I'll be up in a minute.

So what happened?

Are you going to do the job for Sam?

I'm thinking on it.

Thinking about what?

Staying here and teaching rich little girls how to ride?

I know you better than that, Kai.

What's it to you?

Sam wants his play.

I want Sam to be happy.

When Sam's happy, everybody's happy.

That means me.

That means you.

Don't you want to be happy, Kai?

I'll get it for you.

What are you doing?

Watering the horses.

I need the halter now, Sonny.

What do you mean by that?

I like watching you out in the arena.

You're so good.

I bet you could get your horse to write his name in the sand.

Bet you I can get him to write your name.

Wow, what a beautiful buckle.

Half roping.

I was champion.

Almost took the world title.

Why didn't you?

Honey, I thought I told you I needed the halter.

Oh.

I wanted to kill her. Who?

That Aussie twit. She's Oliver Kai in the tack room. I'm going to fix it. He

never looks at her again.

What are you so worked up about? He's not your boyfriend. He could be, if I

rid of her.

What's the plan?

Remember this?

Yeah, the green dye we used on the faded blanket.

So?

Benny's locker.

Benny's shampoo.

She has hair to dye for.

She'll be green with envy.

History.

you wanted to see me?

Yes.

I read something about you in the papers.

The review of my last book in the Times?

As the sex tabloid.

Is it true?

Some of it.

You got a problem with your young niece running around my ranch in her little

white shorts with her buns bobbing?

Are you accusing me of something?

I just hope you're not one of those intellectual types that think they're

the laws of man.

Not on my ranch.

I get the message, Pop.

Are you sure this is okay?

I'm sure. Sam's going to love this.

Hi!

Hi!

We're all out riding right now, right?

Go ahead.

he's gone

Um...

Hi,

Sam. I hope you liked it. I hope you liked it, too.

I know about you Eastern liberal intellectual types.

You party, you drink.

Probably do drugs.

Mess around with girls.

I came here to take care of my niece until Frank gets back.

And that's all I'm doing here. Just as long as we understand each other.

Uncle Belden?

Thanks, Mom. Good night.

Good night.

You're welcome to stay here.

I'll cut you out of horse come daylight tomorrow.

Thank you.

I'd wear a sack over my head. No.

Morning, girls.

It's a bright and shiny day out there, isn't it?

Our horses!

Somebody roams through me!

My father's going to have a heart attack!

Oh, no!

No, no, no!

Calm down! Let me get rid of this man! And tell me what's going on around here.

picking chairs. Now we can't even take our horses into the competition.

My daddy paid a lot of money to get me ready for this season and he's going to

pull me out now. No, he won't. I'll talk to your daddy.

What about her uncle? He didn't do anything. Yeah, shouldn't we get rid of

What for?

He wasn't even around when all this happened. He was with me in Lancaster.

Now you girls get on out of here. Let me get to the bottom of this.

Oh, get out of here.

Damn women.

Good God almighty.

I asked you to put Chris Thomas out of business and you try to do it with

pinking shears?

Who the hell you think you are, Coco Chanel?

Don't knock it, Sam. It almost worked. Almost don't count.

You know what I see when I look over this land?

I see condos overlooking a golf course.

I see a country club full of happy people, money just coming out of their

pockets.

But I can't make those people happy because I can't build a golf course, so

own all the land down there.

Now, Olivia's working her end of it, and I want you to work on something else.

anymore.

What happened?

I'll just get in here.

It's getting tackier every day.

And that's not all. What do you guys see there?

How

are

we supposed to work with this kind of equipment?

It's not safe here anymore.

I'm going to Beverlywood. Anyone want to come with me?

I do, but I don't think my mom will go for it.

How about you, Janet?

Well, my dad really likes Chris, but maybe I'll bring him here and show him

things are falling apart.

Now, while Olivia works on that angle, I want you to come up with something

else.

Like what?

Like a sex scandal.

With that Australian girl, what's her name?

Sunny?

Yeah, Sunny, yeah.

You see, her Uncle Dalton used to be big news in the scandals she used a while

ago.

We can use that to our advantage.

How?

Well, we get them mixed up in another sex scandal.

Him and his niece.

We'll make it look like they're bopping people down at the ranch, setting people

up, that sort of thing.

I don't like it. Sonny's a nice girl.

I don't want her to get hurt.

She don't have to get hurt.

Neither does he, for that matter.

You just get them together in some kind of sex thing with someone, put it on

tape.

Now Chris will be the only one to see it, and then he'll have to shut down.

I won't do it.

If I recall, you threw the world championship for money, and you ain't

nothing left to show for it.

Now you can own a piece of the rock.

Think about it.

That's a pretty girl.

Have you ever thought about making a movie about yourself?

Yeah. Maybe one day. I'll be in the movie town.

allows the idea.

Hello?

Hello?

Chris?

Oh, it's you.

I can't

do it to her.

And

that's

it?

I'll have it cut into a tape of me and Patsy.

What happens to it afterwards?

Sam shows the tape to Chris.

Sam buys them out.

Sam prints the tape.

Sam wants it.

Now.

Yeah, you want to get your hair back and show your pretty face.

Okay. Yeah, now.

She looks surprised now. Come on.

Yeah, yeah.

Give me a sexy look.

Yeah, that's nice.

Yeah. Uh -huh.

Look hungry.

Yeah, look over there.

Sure is beautiful. Here it is, Uncle Dalton.

Yeah, sure is beautiful.

Uncle Dalton, there's a great place down by the river where I guess Skinny

didn't. Come on, I'll show it to you.

I got things to do.

Come on.

Good. We're almost done.

You know the writer, Dalton Leaf?

He doesn't know it yet, but he's going to compromise me.

part of the plan.

It stinks.

I'll tell Sam we have a tape of Sonny.

Why do you work for him?

A girl like you, you have everything you want.

Rich parents?

Theirs belongs to them.

If they give me their money, I have to do what they want.

If I get Sam's...

I do what I want.

And when I work hard,

Excuse me. Sorry.

Don't go.

Two olives.

In what?

In nothing. Just two olives.

What are you looking at?

I've never seen a writer before.

What do you write about?

People.

Romance.

Sex.

You write about sex?

Sometimes.

You could tell you a million stories on that subject.

I'll bet you could.

It is, Sam. The answer is no. I'm not interested. Get off my land.

Just thought I'd let you know that there was a scandal brewing.

I don't want to hear about it.

Are you listening to me, Chris?

24 hours, I'm going to have some tape that will ruin you forever.

I got tapes of these girls of yours here doing perverse sexual acts right here

at your academy.

You're a liar, Sam.

You want to take that chance?

I don't have time for the likes of you. I got things I have to attend to.

It's my final offer, Chris.

Get off my land, damn!

Son of a bitch.

a message for you, Olivia.

You want it in Chris's office.

Thanks, Heather.

Where's Chris?

He's in Lancaster.

But I thought he sent for me.

No, I sent for you.

You did?

Why?

You know how you told me you could tell me a million stories?

Yeah.

Which one should I start with first?

How about the one...

How about you and another girl in a locker room?

Well, maybe I don't feel like telling stories.

Maybe we should make some of our own.

So hot.

Oh.

I'm just grabbing by the hair, boy.

Why

don't

you take your clothes off?

No.

Why don't you fuck me?

Put it back in.

Tell me how it was in the logger room.

How was it, huh?

It was good.

Was it good?

Were you faking it? No.

Did you get it all?

No, fuck me up.

Always. Yeah.

You bitch.

Fucking conniving bitch.

Fucking slut.

Fucking conniving bitch.

And I put it in you.

And I'll fuck sluts.

Take it or leave it.

You took

it, huh?

Yeah.

I got something else for you.

You know what this is?

Shampoo?

What is it?

You're going to put this in Sonny's hair. It's green dye. You know what it

That's an awful nasty thing you're going to do to me. You know that?

I think your hair would look real nice with a little green in it. Go with your

skin.

You wouldn't. I wouldn't? I will.

Unless you give me what I want. What do you want?

I want that tape you're going to give to Sam.

With you and that other slut that you edited Sonny into.

Now!

You know about me.

God.

Yeah.

All right.

So the tech scandal didn't work, huh?

Nope.

Nope. Damn shame.

Second time for some serious action.

I got a whole bunch of people waiting to move into them condos, and they need a

place to live.

You can't leave them people homeless now, can we, Buffy?

Looks like we're going to have to poison them poor little horses in order to

shut down Chris Thomas.

Ain't that right, Buffy?

No.

This is where I get off.

I don't put down any healthy horses.

Not for all the money in the world.

Killed your own horse, didn't you?

My name isn't Buffy.

Oh, what the hell difference does it make?

I want to explain, Sonny.

You don't have to.

I know how illiterate he is.

I didn't mean about that.

Remember when I said I almost won the World Calf Roping Championship?

Yes? I was offered a lot of money to lose the competition.

I wasn't so young anymore.

My back's getting tired.

I figured I'd take the money, buy myself a ramp someplace.

But you couldn't do it, right?

I did it.

I held my horse back just enough to throw my time off.

Thing was, threw my horse off too.

He tripped.

I had to put him down.

It was the hardest thing I ever did in my life.

I haven't always been...

Thank you.

Nothing comes of me.

Thanks for everything, Dalton.

Can't care.

Stay in touch.

I will, brother.

When the season's over, I'd like Sonny to come down and spend a couple of weeks

with you.

Get to know how the city folks live.

Would you like that?

I'd love it.

Can Kai come too?

We'll see.

Come on, baby.
