Original subtitles

- Previously on Heartland. - Georgie!

I entered the Springview Grand Prix here next weekend.

Tanner wants to sell me his ranch on Salt Spring Island.

You certainly won’t have any problem finding a buyer.

- Just won’t be me. - This is what I do.

I get ranches out of the red and into the black.

- River, you’re a really great friend.

Dex is bad news.

- It was your fault, and I have to live with it!

Look, I’m trying to make it up to you, man.

- What the hell was that?!

- It’s like he said, he had it coming.

- I want you gone in the morning.

You threw all of this away

because you couldn’t control yourself.

Shim isn’t the villain in your story.

You are.

- Do I know you?

Let’s go!

- It was Wes Calstrom.

This guy is a dangerous criminal.

- Amy’s right. - Let’s all calm down here.

This is it.

This is Wes Calstrom’s place.

- Looks pretty quiet.

- Wes might have left town by now.

- Well, maybe.

If I were Wes, I’d hide ’em somewhere

until things cooled off.

- Only one way to find out.

- Have you ever seen fireflies in real life?

- Um, yeah.

When I was a little girl, I used to catch them all the time.

Really?

Yeah, but they’re pretty hard to find.

You have to look really hard.

Head inside. I’ll meet you there.

- Phoenix just got out of quarantine.

- Oh, you’re not wasting any time, are you?

- Well, the show’s tomorrow.

We’ll take all the practice we can get.

Any chance I could take you up on that coaching session,

- like, now? - Yes, of course.

These are ours.

I knew it!

I’m calling the police.

Shh, there’s somebody here!

Grandpa!

- Where’s the rest of our cattle?

- Long gone.

Put it down, Jack.

Nice and slow.

- ♪ And at the break of day ♪

♪ You sank into ♪

- ♪ Your dream ♪

♪ You dreamer ♪

♪ You dreamer ♪

♪ You dreamer ♪

- Whoa.

- The police are gonna be here any minute.

- There’s no way you got a signal.

Now put the gun down... before something bad happens.

- A few head of cattle aren’t worth dying over, Jack.

- Grandpa.

- OK.

I’m putting the gun down.

- You all should have stayed home.

- We just want our cattle back.

- That’s never gonna happen.

- Behind you!

Peter!

- Come here! Come here! - - No, no, no, no, no!

Don’t even think about it.

- Stay down!

Don’t move.

- That’s pretty much how it’s been the past few weeks.

- Yeah, Phoenix just doesn’t seem like himself.

- Yeah, I don’t know if he’s tired from his trip

or maybe I’m doing something wrong.

- No, Georgie, you’re in great form!

It’s Phoenix that I’m worried about.

Seems like he’s holding back.

- Thank you, Peter.

That was quite the entrance.

- I honestly don’t know what we would’ve done

if you hadn’t showed up.

- Why didn’t you tell me where you were going?

- Because I knew you would try to stop me.

OK, let’s get those cattle back to the ranch.

- Who’s that? - I unloaded all that grain.

Just like you asked.

You ready to go?

- Yeah. All set.

- I’m sorry we didn’t find yours.

- No. We only had a few of ours stolen.

You’ve lost a lot more.

How are you going to recover from this?

- I honestly don’t know.

What do you think?

- I don’t know.

You’re going to have to give me more than

a few minutes to figure him out.

- Right. Sorry.

I’m just... I’m stressed.

The show’s tomorrow. We’re nowhere near ready.

Should I withdraw?

- Why don’t we go on a trail ride?

You know, he’s probably feeling a little bit cooped up

after the quarantine, and...

a ride would be good for him.

- What’s this?

- We are celebrating!

I just got off the phone with Crown Shoppers,

and they’re increasing our order.

- Oh, by how much? - Double!

You know what this means? - Uh-huh?

- Nathan...

for once in our lives, we don’t have

to worry about the bottom line.

- You don’t feel at all bad?

- Why would I?

- Well, the only reason Crown is doubling our order is

’cause Heartland can’t deliver.

They had over 30 head of cattle stolen.

- Yeah, that’s tough.

But a lot of ranchers lost cattle, including us.

- Heartland got hit the hardest.

- Yeah. - Luckily, they caught the guy.

His name’s Wes Calstrom.

- That’s great news.

- I, uh...

I don’t feel much like celebrating.

- OK. - Thanks.

I haven’t taken Phoenix on a trail ride

in... I don’t know how long.

Do you think he’s arena sour? Is that why we’re doing this?

No.

He actually... he reminds me a lot of Spartan.

You know, he was pretty much good at everything.

And then, one day, he just...

he started to slow down.

And I had to make a very difficult decision

to retire him, even though I wasn’t quite ready.

- Well, Phoenix isn’t slowing down.

- I have noticed a little bit of stiffness in his joints.

- He passed his last vet check with flying colours.

They said he’s got easily a couple more years

of jumping in him.

- OK. But... do you agree?

Does Phoenix seem like his heart’s still in it?

- Yes. Of course.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be doing this.

My dream is to go to the Olympics with Phoenix.

I’m not going to give that up,

especially after all our hard work.

- No, I... - I understand that.

I can’t be wasting my time out here.

I need to... I need to go practice.

- Georgie...

- Can we go look for fireflies?

- In the middle of the day?

- If we head deeper into the forest,

it might be dark enough.

- All right. Let’s go.

- Well, at least we got some of the herd back.

We’ll have to figure out next steps.

I’ll call the bank in the morning, see if we can...

borrow enough money to get through the year.

- I got some savings. You know, I can...

I can pitch in, help out where I can.

- I won’t hear of it.

Katie’ll be going off to college in a year or two.

That won’t be cheap.

You can’t be sacrificing, not right now.

But I appreciate the thought.

- Well... it’s getting late.

We should head back.

- Hey, what were you thinking,

going after the rustlers like that?

- I didn’t have a choice, Peter.

They were stealing our cattle, and I had to do something.

- If it’s not stolen cattle, it’s competition with Pryce,

or beef wars, or bison wars, or whatever war you’re waging,

and it always comes first, doesn’t it?

- That’s not fair.

I--I know I’ve been distracted lately--

- No, I can handle you being preoccupied.

I can handle that. What I can’t handle is

you just winding up dead.

- Peter...

- You know what, Lou, if you want to risk your life

every time the cattle business is in trouble, go ahead.

But I’m not going to stick around and watch.

Come on.

- Whoa.

Oh... it’s OK.

It’s OK, boy.

It’s not your fault.

- You made bail, huh?

- I don’t want any trouble. - - Relax.

I just want to talk.

So is there anyone else who’d

like to share something they’re working on?

Anyone?

Dex?

- Hm? - What about you?

Do you have something you’d like to share?

Uh, no, I was just waiting for you.

Uh, OK, yeah.

I guess I could read something.

It’s not really a story, though.

- It can be whatever you want.

- Dear Shim...

what you did really sucks.

Hockey was everything to me.

I’m still trying to figure out who I am without it.

But I’ve been given a second chance

to do something really cool.

And I don’t want to throw it all away because I’m angry at you.

And I don’t want to be the villain in my own story.

So you can stop worrying about... what you did.

I forgive you.

But you have to promise no more dirty hits.

Just... be a better person,

on and off the ice.

And I’ll work on being a better person, too.

That’s it.

- Thank you, Dex.

That’s all we have time for today.

I’ll see everyone next week.

I really appreciate you sharing your work,

but... you should be sending that letter to Shim.

- I will...

I just want to type it out first.

The only thing worse than my handwriting is my spelling.

Any chance I could use your laptop?

- Of course.

- Good boy!

- Hey, how is training going? - You feeling ready for tomorrow?

- Actually, I--I decided to drop out of the show.

- What? Why? What happened?

- Georgie, I hope this is not because of what I said.

You know Phoenix better than anyone.

- No. No.

You were right.

I started to notice him slowing down a few months ago.

I just--I didn’t want to... admit it.

- So you’re just going to drop out?

- I don’t think I have a choice.

- You know... Spartan won an endurance race

right before I retired him.

Are you sure you guys don’t have one last show left in you?

- What if we knock down every jump?

It’d be such a... sour note to end on.

- Well, I’ll tell you one thing.

No matter what happens... we’ll be there cheering you on.

- Yep, that’s right.

And, if you ask me,

I’d say it’s pretty fitting that Phoenix’s last show

won’t be in some distant town in Europe.

It’ll be right here at home.

- Hey. - Hey.

I’m sorry I missed dinner.

- I heard you rode up to Wes’s.

A little heads up would have been nice.

- I know. I’m sorry.

That’s what I came to talk to you about.

Actually, uh...

I, uh, I need to talk to all of you.

- What is it?

- Hey, have you brushed your teeth?

Yep. Can you read me a story, Nathan?

- Aww. - Lyndy, he just got here.

- Actually, you know what? There’s nothing

I’d rather do right now.

"When the door appeared... the animals were all silent.

"Even the crickets stopped chirping.

"Marigold had never known the forest to be so quiet.

"And even though there was likely danger

"on the other side of that door,

she bravely stepped through."

- Can you read me another chapter?

- No. It is time for bed.

- Aww.

Hey...

Did you make this?

- Some people call them lightning bugs...

but they’re also called fireflies,

even though they’re actually not flies.

- They’re beetles, right? - - Yeah.

Have you ever seen fireflies before?

- Actually, my dad used to take me and my sister out to this...

spot in the forest.

I remember seeing thousands of them.

- Could you take me there?

- Well, it’s been a long time.

I don’t remember where it was exactly, but...

I’ll do some searching.

If I find it, I’ll take you there.

- Promise?

- Promise.

- All right. Come on, you.

Time for you to get some sleep.

- What is it you wanted to talk to us about?

That is a copy of our accounting ledger

and proof that...

Gracie was working with Wes to steal your cattle

and paying him to stay quiet.

Just when I thought she couldn’t sink any lower.

- You know we’re going to have to go to the police with this.

I understand, Jack.

I need you to wait.

We can’t just sit on this, Nathan.

- Lou...

I didn’t have to give you that.

It’s a gesture of good faith.

- Well, when it comes to Gracie, I am all out of faith.

- Lou, just listen to him, please!

I have a plan, OK, to deal with my sister, OK,

and end this once and for all.

I just need you to trust me.

- Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Springview Grand Prix.

We’ll begin shortly, so please take your seats.

- So where’s Lou? Didn’t she come with you?

- No. No.

Said she, uh, needed to check on the cattle.

- Is that so? - Yeah.

- Well, I’m sure she’ll be here soon.

- Hey there, Lou.

- Hey. - To what do I owe the pleasure?

- Oh, I just wanted to let you know that the, uh,

police caught those rustlers.

- Yeah, I heard.

I feel real bad that you weren’t able to recover

more of your cattle.

- Thank you.

But you know, the good news is the rustlers are going

to get what they deserve.

All of them.

Do you always bring that rifle with you

when you’re taking care of your cattle?

Well, I thought it was a good idea.

What, with all the wolves and rustlers lurking around?

- Well, you’re wise to be cautious, you know.

I’m pretty certain that wolf never left.

Luckily, it’s not half as smart as it thinks it is.

- I can’t do this! - No, it’s--it’s OK.

Just your timing was a bit off. Count your strides.

I don’t need Jumping 101 right now!

- OK, then what do you need, Georgie?

- Just stop!

Stop trying to be my coach and just... listen?

- Yeah.

I’m listening.

- Phoenix and I used to fly over the jumps.

I didn’t even think about it. Now...

It can’t end like this.

- It’s not gonna.

Phoenix will rally, and so will you.

- Or we’ll flame out, and...

our last time showing together will be a total disaster.

- Georgie, you and Phoenix started jumping together

because you both loved it.

And you were fearless.

Don’t let fear get in the way now.

- This was a mistake.

I’m, uh, I’m gonna have to make some...

tough decisions about the ranch.

Gracie and I haven’t been getting along so well lately.

- Oh.

She get suspended from school again?

- No, Dad. Gracie hasn’t been in school for a long time.

- She should never have thrown a rock at that boy.

But she only did it

because he was bullying her little brother.

- I didn’t know about that.

I don’t condone what Gracie did, but...

her heart is always in the right place.

Even when she’s wrong.

- Yeah. Um...

Hey, Dad, do you remember taking me and Gracie

out to a clearing in the woods?

We used to go watch fireflies there.

- Fireflies?

- Yeah, fireflies. - Huh.

- Fireflies. - Yeah, it’s...

It’s OK. Long time ago.

Cut the deck.

- GG...

I probably shouldn’t be showing you this,

but Dex wrote that to Shim.

Just when I thought I knew who Dex was,

he goes and writes something honest and vulnerable.

- I’m glad he’s taking responsibility for his actions,

but that doesn’t change what he did.

- I know.

But it’s... possible I misjudged him.

Maybe you did, too.

- Hey, did I miss Georgie?

- No, she’s, uh, she’s up next.

- Actually... - Georgie decided not to compete.

She wants us to go home.

- Hey, Georgie.

You all right?

I feel bad everyone came to watch and I’m backing out.

- Hey, hey, it’s OK.

I get why this is hard for you.

I mean, Phoenix has been a constant in your life

ever since you came to Heartland.

And then when you moved away to pursue your jumping career,

he was right there with you... every step of the way.

I lost Quinn.

Now, I’m losing Phoenix. Everything’s... changing.

- You know, Phoenix, he’s always had this wild spirit.

And so do you.

I think that’s why you two found each other.

You’re right. Things are changing.

And it’s hard.

But after all these years together,

his spirit, his resilience...

that is part of you now, Georgie.

And that can never change.

And every time you come home, he is going to be

right there in the pasture...

waiting for you to go for a ride.

Georgie Fleming-Morris and Phoenix Rising on deck.

- This isn’t about winning, Georgie.

This is about...

one last chance to compete together.

One last chance to be a team, you know?

One last chance for you and Phoenix to fly.

Next up, two-time European Championship winner

and local jumping legend,

Georgie Fleming-Morris on Phoenix Rising!

Go, Georgie!

You can’t keep running away whenever you want.

I didn’t run away because I wanted to.

- OK. Come on, Phoenix.

What do you say we give them one last show?

Go, Georgie!

You already have a great bond with Phoenix.

We’ll just build on that.

Thanks for letting me stay, Mr. Bartlett.

- My name’s Jack.

Go, Georgie!

90.25 seconds and no faults.

That puts Georgie at the top of the board.

I’m told Phoenix will be retiring

from the circuit after today.

So let’s all take a moment to show this incredible horse

our heartfelt appreciation.

Ladies and gentlemen, Phoenix Rising!

- I got your message.

- I’ve been thinking things over.

As long as all the violence is out of your system,

you can keep working here.

- Thank you, Jack.

- Katie’s the one who pleaded your case.

She seems to think there’s some good in you.

Me, I’m not so sure.

- Then I’ll do whatever it takes to convince you.

- After you move your stuff back into the loft,

you can start mucking out stalls.

- Why’d you do it? - Do what?

- Ask your great-grandfather to let Dex stay.

Thought you couldn’t stand him.

- That’s not true.

The only reason I said those things about Dex...

is because I was feeling hurt.

- Why’s that?

When you and Dex started dating, it...

felt like our friendship came second.

No one likes being a third wheel.

- I finally make a friend who’s smart and fun,

and then I mess it up all over a guy.

- I know you didn’t mean to.

- I’m not going to lie. I like Dex.

But Katie, you are my best friend.

And I’m sorry if I ever made you doubt that.

- Really?

I’m your best friend?

- Are you kidding me?

You are my ride or die.

You’re mine, too.

Come here.

OK, enough of the sappy stuff.

Um...

Are you ready to rock the do-si-do?

- Let’s do it. - Let’s do it.

- Did you get Lyndy dropped off at her friend’s OK?

- Yeah, I just heard from Nathan.

He wants to meet all of us at his north fence line

in about an hour.

- Did he say why?

- Just that it has to do with Gracie.

- Well, let’s get tacked up.

- Hey. - Hey.

- We’re gonna go for a trail ride.

Does anyone want to come? - Yeah, as soon as Katie

gets back from her practice, we’re gonna head out.

- Yeah, I do, but we have a meeting

with the Pryces, honey.

- Oh. Maybe we can go another time.

- It’s important. - No, I’m sure it is.

No problem.

- When was the last time we went on a trail ride together?

Well... when we were kids, I guess.

- It’s kind of nice.

- Yeah. I know.

- Guys, wait up!

- Hey, Mom! - Hey!

- What about your meeting? - Amy and Grandpa can handle it.

This is where I want to be.

- What’s going on?

Evening, Jack. Amy.

- I think we can dispense with the pleasantries.

- We know you’ve been working with Wes.

I gave them all the proof they need to go to the police.

- What are you doing?

- I’m trying to keep you out of jail.

I want you to sell me your half of the ranch.

- OK, Nathan. - Don’t do this.

- OK? Just don’t! - Jack, if Gracie

signs the ranch over to me,

will you agree to not go to the police?

- If she signs right here, right now.

- This is your only chance.

Wow...

I mean, I knew you wanted me gone

on the day that I came, but I never,

in a million years, thought you would betray me.

- No, don’t do that.

You betrayed me. - I lied.

I stole.

But I never betrayed you.

Because I wouldn’t do that to my little brother!

I’d never do that!

OK, OK.

Guess you made your choice, huh?

Hope she’s worth it.

Yeah, give it to me!

I won’t stop you from visiting Dad, but...

I think it’s best if you and I part ways for a while.

OK.

- Jack, Amy, I’m, uh,

I’m sorry for the trouble

my sister has caused you and your family.

- I appreciate what you’ve done to make things right.

And I trust that Heartland and Pryce,

we can be what we always should have been.

Neighbours.

I should have told you I was riding out to Wes’s ranch.

And you were right.

It was reckless.

- Nah... - I’m sorry.

- It’s fine. - You’re a fighter, Lou.

I mean, I’ve always known that about you.

It’s why I fell in love with you.

All I ask is that every once in a while,

you put the old fist down, you know?

Even a superhero, you gotta take a break sometimes.

I can do that.

I’m not the superhero.

I mean, you’re the one who saved the day

with a shovel, no less.

- I did, didn’t I? - You did.

- Mild-mannered dad by day,

and when I turn to crime fighting, deadly!

- Right? - Deadly! So deadly!

- Come on. - Hey, look at this, huh?

All of us back together again.

Aww.

I guess it’s probably a bad time for me to tell you...

a stable in Austria wants me to ride for them.

- Really? - When do you have to go?

- A few days.

- Sorry. - No! Are you kidding me?

Don’t be! This is your dream,

and I’m so proud of you for going after it.

Means your mom and I did something right, huh?

- Yeah, it does. - Still going to miss you.

- Do me a favour, though. When you get there,

promise me, get me some lederhosen.

- What?! - Dad!

- DAD! - Yes. Yes.

- There’s no way I’m doing that! - What are you talking about?

I want to change my look up a little bit!

- You know, your dad does look very good in suspenders.

- It’s a true story. I do. - I have the shoulders for them.

Right? - Yeah!

Hey, Tanner. It’s Nathan.

It’s OK.

- Gracie?

- It’s OK.

I’m sorry to visit so late. - Oh...

- Hmm. - I didn’t want to leave

without saying goodbye.

- You’ve been crying.

- I’m OK. - Oh, well...

- I’m OK. - Oh.

I wish I could remember where those fireflies are.

I’d take you out there just to see you smile again.

- Fireflies? You mean the ones

in the clearing near that old bunkhouse?

- That’s the place!

I gotta tell Nathan, he’s been-- - No, it’s OK. It’s OK, Dad.

I don’t want you to worry about it.

I’ll tell him.

- You will? - I will.

- You’ll tell your brother?

- I will.

- All right, then.

- You just go back to sleep, OK?

- OK.

Hmm. Night, Gracie-girl.

I’ll see you soon, OK, Dad?

- Well, hello there, stranger. How’s life in the big leagues?

Oh, things are...

Things are just fine here.

You know, same old, same old.

- Thank you for talking to Jack.

- Don’t worry about it.

I mostly did it for River.

For some reason, she seems to like you.

- You said mostly.

That means you wanted me to stay just a little bit too, right?

- Don’t push it.

Thanks, Nathan.

Best mac and cheese I’ve ever had.

- Oh! - Oh, wow. High praise.

I’d let that get to my head if it wasn’t out of the box.

- Why don’t you take your bowl to the counter and go wash up?

- OK.

That was...

It was good!

- Mm-hmm.

- Nathan, why are you looking at real estate agents?

- Well, because I’m...

selling the ranch.

- You... you just got it back from Gracie.

Why would you sell it?

- Well, we’re deep in debt, and it’s the only way I can

pay Gracie for her half and your family back

for the cattle she stole, so. - No, no, no.

You don’t have to pay us back! - Yes.

Yes, I do.

Besides... once word gets out about what Gracie did,

nobody’s going to want to do business with us.

- So where are you going to go? What are you going to do?

Well, I’m thinking about taking Tanner up on his offer.

He’s got a real nice spread over on Salt Spring Island,

and he’s willing to sell it to me for a song.

- So you were serious. - Yeah.

His wife’s rescue centre...

has a load of horses that need training.

And he said they’d stay an extra few weeks, show us the ropes.

- Did you just say us? - Yeah.

You and me.

And Lyndy, of course.

- I don’t know what to say.

- Well, you don’t have to say anything.

Just... think about it.

- Sorry.

The clearing near the bunkhouse, of course.

- What? - Gracie remembered.

Hey, you.

Go put your boots on. I got a surprise for you.

- What is it? - Well, if I told you,

it wouldn’t be a surprise, would it?

Go on.

You too.
