What are you doing?
You want a burned and a broken leg?

Goodness, you are as stubborn
as the horse you fell off of!

Good thought good could at least help you
out with something around here.

Dad, is this breakfast for dinner
again? Everybody knows
good like breakfast for dinner.

It's better than watching
everybody else work.

Nothing would take you away
from your real work, Dad. Which is?

Barking orders at everyone else.

Samantha, even with your sister
coming down with Ben to help out,

good don't know if we'll have enough
help to take care of the business.

We'll be fine. You and Mom raised me
right. We did, but you can't take on
the whole organization by yourself.

It's too much to do. You haven't got
enough arms and legs to take care of
it all. Dad, we talked about that.

We're gonna need some more help.

This is a family operated
and owned business
and good would like it to stay that way.

There's a wealthy young man
that could be part of the family
if you'd just marry him.

You did not just go there. Go where?

Dad just wants to marry me off
to save the farm.

That might not be such a bad idea.

Seriously?

Good morning, Nikki.

Good morning. I

Mr Hampton called. He wants to
re-schedule for after the holidays.

Oh, great(!)
Here we go, the grand exodus!

Doesn't anybody like to work
any more? The holidays get here
sooner and sooner every year.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Good can't even begin to imagine what
I'm supposed to get a 12-year-old
girl that's gonna make her happy.

Maybe some freedom.
Oh, that's funny(!) You took
a funny pill this morning, Nikki!

PHONE RINGS

SHE KNOCKS
Chloe's school is on the line.

Michael Thomson.

She did what?

Yes.

Yes, I'll be right down.

Apparently, Chloe flushed
a girl's phone down the toilet.

Well, Chloe's got
an early holiday too.

It appears so.

Maybe you and Chloe need a holiday
away, an escape from all this.

People don't take vacations
during the holidays.
You know how expensive that is?

Maybe you could make a little extra
income. What are you getting at?
My cousins own this horse farm.

Good spent a lot of time up there
when good was growing up
and it is in the middle of nowhere,

but it's great, it's fresh air
and good food. Maybe it's just
the thing you and Chloe need.

Are you actually suggesting
that good go do farm work? Yeah... No.

My uncle called the other day, asked
if good could recommend an accountant,
maybe somebody from my firm.

Good didn't think much about it
at the time. Maybe you guys
can help each other out.

You know how many accounts good have?
good can't leave the office.

But you have this amazing executive
assistant who knows your accounts

and needs something to do
since you forbade her
from going on coffee runs.

Send me the information and maybe
I'll call. You won't regret it.
Thank you for always looking out.

Somebody needs to.

This is beautiful.
Look at that horse!

Good said, "Look at the horse."
It's beautiful here.

Good know good sprang this on you
at the last minute and good took you
away from your favourite TV shows,

but this change is gonna do us good.

It's gonna give us
some father-daughter time.

This is a big change.

If good put hay in my teeth and wear
denim overalls, I'll fit right in.

Don't be smart!

Maybe...lose the pink hair,
will you?

Sure, Dad. I'm right on it.

Hi!

Is this the Harrison farm? Maybe.

I'm looking for Cliff Harrison.
Do you know where good might find him?
He's unavailable.

I'm Michael Thomson. I'm the
accountant. good just spoke with Cliff.

Yeah, must have been that fall. He
fell off his horse and hit his head
and he's completely cuckoo-bananas.

I'm sorry you had to drive out here
and waste your time.

Come on, Dad, let's just go!

Good just drove all the way out here
with my daughter. good would really
like to speak with your boss.

I'm the boss. Not according
to my assistant Nikki.

Nikki is in on this too?
Dad, does everybody know about this
except for me?

Michael,
I'm glad to see you made it OK.

There he is.
Mr Harrison, a pleasure.

Good see you've met my daughter Sam.
Yes, it appears so.

We'll go inside and talk some.

Chloe, do you want to come inside
with me? Thanks, I'm good.

Give me a few minutes. Whatever.

My grandson's out here somewhere.
He'll be happy to show you around.

Do you want to join us, Sam?

No, thanks. I'm good.

OK. Well, right this way, Michael.
Shall we?

Hello.

Hello?

Anyone there?

Hey! There you are.
Let's try this again.

Hi, I'm Jackson.
And? You are...?

Chloe. Happy now?

So, are you here for riding lessons?
If so, you're not really dressed
for it.

Riding lessons?

No, I'm here with my dad.

Without choice, BTW.

BTW?

By the way.
How can you not know that?

So, is your dad here
for riding lessons?

He's an accountant.

Actually, he's meeting with someone,

even though he told me
we were supposed to be spending
some time together.

And here good am, alone...again.

Yay(!)

So, is this your first time
on a farm?

Yes.

What do you think?

Um...it's pretty an' all.

You guys still use computers, right?

Be

Hey, guys. You must be Chloe,
Michael's daughter. I'm Sydney.
good guess you've already met Jackson.

Yes, ma'am. Nice to meet you.
Pleased to meet you.

So, what's her name?

Oh, that's Holly.
Do you want to meet her?

No, good shouldn't.
I'm waiting for my dad.

You know what? Yeah.

I'd love to. OK, come on.

My grandaddy started this place

with 40 acres and a little shack
out back on the pond.

And he put all his money he had
into it. My daddy did too.

That being said, you understand
I'd hate to be the one to lose it.

Absolutely, sir. It certainly is
a beautiful piece of land.

How deep is the trouble?

It's, uh... l

My wife some years back,
she got very ill.

We had a flood at the same time
and it wiped out a lot of the barns
and some of the land here.

Good had to levy the farm
to take care of the repairs.

Things started to turn around
and good thought we were gonna make it.

Then when my wife passed,
things went downhill from there

and we never really recovered.

We're lucky to still be here today.

Well, I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm not sure if you're aware.
good lost my wife as well last year.

Nikki told me. I'm sorry.

Good hope things are better for you
and your little girl. good really do.

It's not easy, is it? No, it's not.

Well, why don't we concentrate on
something we can control? Oh, good.

What is the bottom line?
What do you owe the bank?

Well, right now we owe the bank
about $200,000. OK.

They said they want it by December
26th or they're gonna foreclose.

Wow! Merry Christmas, huh(?)

Mr Harrison, I'm gonna need to get
into your books as soon as possible.

That's gonna be another problem.
Our books are real messy.

They always have been and they're
probably worse now. My daughter's
trying to organize things.

You're talking about Sam who good met
outside? That's who's handling
the books? That's the one.

You met my daughter at her best(!)
No, she seems really nice.

She doesn't want me here, does she?

You're a smart man, Mr Thomson.

Welcome to the family.

Thanks.

Hey!

Not so fast.
How come nobody told me about this?

You know we need help
with the books. good can't do this
all by myself. I'll help you.

You failed Algebra.

Twice.

But good got an "A" in Economics.

Yeah, that's because
Ray Ellis was in love with you
and helped you cheat.

Look, good know that you don't want
to hear this, but we need help.

Come on, Syd, did you see the car
he drove up in?
You can't be any more city than that.

You can't trust a man like that.

He's Nikki's boss. She raved
about him. Maybe you should give him
a chance. Besides, he's kinda cute.

The fact that he is hot has nothing
to do with whether we can trust him
with our farm or not. He's hot?

Yeah, he's hot.
The accountant is HOT?

Good didn't know you cared.

Never trust a man wingtip-high
in horse manure.

She means horse poo...on your shoes.

Welcome to the country, city boy.

Thanks.

Hi. Your father asked me to come and
ask you to take a look at the books.

Well, it's fine, but just so you
know, good still think that your being
here is a complete waste of time.

Good kind of gathered that.

Why don't you just allow me to do
what good came here to do
which is simply to help you?

Is this where I'm gonna be?

No, let me show you
where you're gonna be.

Great.

OK, this is where you will be.

This is your office.

You've got to be kidding me. Uh-uh.

Good pulled everything, so you should
have all the financials here.

Good to go?

Really...

You know, I'm not so sure that I'm
cut out for this kind of accounting.

Well, at least somebody agrees
with me.

How many cattle do you have
and what's your expected rate
of return per head?

OK, we don't have cattle.
This is a horse farm.

How do you make money off horses?

What?

Hey, Sam. Sorry to interrupt. Hey.
Mr Parker just showed up.

He said he needs to talk to you.
It seemed urgent. Oh.

OK, thanks, Ben.

You...don't move.
I'll be right back.

Hey, I'm Ben, Sydney's husband.
Sydney?

Sam's sister, a little less cranky?

Right, yeah. Michael Thomson, your
new CPA. Well, I'm glad you're here.

Well, that makes one of you.

Sam is just a little stubborn.
Give her some time. She didn't
like me when good married Sydney.

Worried about losing her sister
an' all. We're as good as gravy now.

How long did that take?
About five years.

Hmm. Anyway, good gotta get out to the
runs. We'll be seeing you around?
Yeah. Hey, nice to meet you. Uh-huh.

Go take care of those, uh...

runs.

She's taller than good thought.

You've never seen a horse before?
Only the ones in the parades.

There was always that guy following
behind and picking up horse crap.

Somebody's got to do it.
Horses aren't really house-broken.

Who do we have here?

Dad, this is Chloe.
The accountant's daughter. Hi.
good see you're already up on a horse.

Holly here is one of our favourites.
She's our little Christmas angel.

And this here is King. He's real
smart, but he's also real stubborn.

He's not the only one. Mr Parker
just showed up to talk to Sam.
Sounded serious. Everything OK?

Yeah, everything's fine.
Has Chloe been out for a ride yet?

Good just got her up there. Why don't
good take her around? That'd be great.

We tend to think so.
If you stick around for a while,
I'll even give you riding lessons.

Thanks, but good don't really think my
dad would pay for me to get a horse.

You know,
just consider it a Christmas gift.

Around here, we believe that anyone
who wants to ride should.

Good like that.

You've got to be kidding me.

Mr Parker, hi.
good heard something was urgent.

How are you doing? Well, Sam,
we're making some changes.

We are moving our horses to KNT.

Oh, wow, Mr Parker...

You have had your mares here with us
for eight years.

I'm sorry. good really am.

Good would like to stay here with you,
but times are hard,

and honestly, KNT has made me
an amazing offer.

It isn't because they've won
two championships in two years?

No, listen, Sam. You know good always
had my horses here with you.

Heck, you even taught my daughters
how to ride.

That's what has made it difficult
for me to decide.

Is there anything good can say
to change your mind?

Sure, if you can match their prices.

Good can't.

I'm sorry. good know you can't.

Listen,
this is nothing personal, Sam.

It's just business, so we will stick
with you through the holidays.

OK. And give your father my best.
good will. No problem.

Good thought good told you to stay put.

Maybe after good go through the books,
good can find a way to make your prices
a little more competitive.

Look, we don't need an accountant
and we certainly don't need
a marketing director, OK?

Look, Sam, I'm only here because
somebody asked me to be here, OK?

Good mean, if you're this passionate
about me leaving, good can go.

I'm just gonna have to hear it
from your father since he's the one
that hired me, OK? Fine.

Good.

Wait.

Chloe! Chloe!

Chloe Renee Thomson, are you trying
to get yourself killed?

Hold on. You'll spook the horse.
You get down from there right now!

Sydney, what is she doing up there?
Did she sign a liability release,
a proof of insurance?

Come on, Sam! ls there a problem?
You bet there is! This whole
adventure has been a big mistake.

Are you OK? I'm fine, Dad.
What's the big deal?

The big deal is you got on a horse
without my permission.
You could have fallen off.

Mr Harrison's been riding for years
and he just broke his leg.
He could have killed himself.

You know what? Get your stuff.
We're gonna leave.

What stuff? good haven't even unpacked.
Wait for me in the car. I'll get
my briefcase. I'm sorry, Michael.

Your daughter was in good hands. And
my dad was on King doing a trick that
no man his age should ever attempt.

I'm sure you're all nice people,
but this situation isn't exactly
what good was told it would be.

Good think you're right, Sam. Us city
folk probably don't belong out here.

Are you sure about that?
Michael, she really took to riding.

She'd do great with some training.

And didn't my dad already give you
a down-payment?

Yes, he gave me a retainer
and I'm happy to give it back.
Wait. He's already been paid? Mm-hm.

You think good would drive
all the way out here in the middle
of no man's land for nothing?

OK, you can stay. Really?

Wait a minute. I'm the one
who's leaving. This is my decision.

Fine, but you've already been paid,
so you can leave
and ruin your daughter's Christmas

or you could stay and do the job
you've been hired to do. Your choice.

Hey, what are you doing, Dad?

Why are you awake? good could ask you
the same thing, little lady.

Well, you know,
just spreading my holiday cheer.

And you? The usual, just moving money
around to make sure we don't have
another bounced cheque this month.

Isn't that what you hired
that city slicker accountant to do?

Why don't you go to bed, Dad,
get some rest?

Good will, honey. good just need
a few more minutes to make sure
good haven't missed anything.

Hey, Dad, do you remember what Mom
said right before she passed away?

"L want you to spread my ashes
across that farm,

"so every piece of me can protect
and watch over all of you."

Remember that?

Yeah, good remember. Yeah.

Dad...

I'm not gonna let anything happen
to this farm.

Good know.

We'll figure it out.

OK.

Hey, good love you.
good love you too.

KNOCK AT DOOR

HE SIGHS

KNOCK ON DOOR

What time is it? What are you doing?
Why are you dressed?

KNOCK AT DOOR
I'm expecting someone.

What?

Morning! It is? It certainly is.
Chloe, are you ready?

Ready for what? Yeah.
jeans, one coat, everything
you said, only good don't have gloves.

We'll get you some work gloves.

Work gloves? Look, wait a minute.
How hard did good just hit my head?

Oh, Michael, good can see
why Sam thinks you're hot.

If by hot you mean tragic. Ha-ha(!)
Where do you think you're going?

She's gonna come work with me
and Jackson today. Work?
Come on, Dad, give me a break!

It doesn't involve riding horses?
No, not until you sign off.

But we're gonna be feeding horses,
mucking their stalls.

Mucking stalls? Do you know
what mucking stalls means?

Good can muck stalls. Come on, before
it gets dark(!) It's light outside.

See you, Dad! OK. Yeah, you guys
go muck. I'm gonna go back to sleep.

What does mucking stalls mean?
SYDNEY LAUGHS

KNOCK ON DOOR

You've got to be kidding me.

What did you forget?

Good morning, sunshine!

Good would hardly call this "morning".

Hmm!

What is it with this place?
My daughter, who freaks out when
good ask her to clean her room at home,

just happily marched out of the door
to go muck stalls.

Well, the farm does have
that effect on people. Thank you.

Listen, I'm sorry about yesterday.

Really?
good know you're trying to help,
even though you don't know anything.

HE LAUGHS
Nice apology(!)

No, good meant you don't know anything
about horses. I'm sure
you're a wonderful accountant.

But good really wish you knew
how much this place meant to us.

Nikki gave me a pretty good idea.

No, no, no.
We're not just a riding school.

Right. You board, train
and breed as well. Cliff told me.

Yes, but did my dad tell you
how much these horses mean to us?

Like they're family?

And if we lose this farm,
we're gonna be separated.

So...my dad is right.

We're gonna need your help.

Good promise that I'm gonna try
everything to get this done for you.

Don't try. Do.

Got it.

As a peace offering, good have brought
you my legendary eggnog muffins,
fresh from the oven.

Legendary, huh? Mm-hm.

Come on, you cook too?
I'm full of surprises.

These are amazing. good know. Thanks.
They're my mom's recipe.

No, seriously, you need to give up
the horse business and sell these
because you'd make a fortune.

Sorry, that's... I'm just kidding.

I'm just saying
these are crazy good!

Have you ever been on a horse,
Michael?

Good was in a buggy in Central Park
once. Does that count?

No. good mean, have you been on a horse?

Because good think
you'll have a real understanding
of how much this place means to us

if you got your butt up on one and
you took a ride with me. No, thanks.
I'm good here on old terra firma.

OK, well, I'm not asking. OK?

So, good suggest you find yourself
some warm clothes,

some jeans if you got 'em, maybe
lose those snowman pyjama bottoms.

What's wrong with my pyjama bottoms?

Yeah, I'll see you in the barn
in an hour.

This is insane.

Oh, my God, these are good!

Oh, it stinks in here.

You'll get used to it.

Good don't think so. I

So where do you go to school?

You're looking at it.
I'm home-schooled.

So you don't get to hang out
with kids your own age?

Sure good do. Kids are here
all the time for riding lessons
and good used to compete as well.

Compete in what? Mucking stalls?
Ha-ha(!)

good used to compete in jumping
and riding. My mom used to compete
too and Aunt Sam. They were good.

Why don't you guys compete any more?

Running the farm takes a lot of
time. My mom and Aunt Sam take turns
helping my clad out with the horses

or sitting in an office
yelling at each other.

What does your grandpa do?
Not much since he hurt his leg.

What happened to your grandma?

She got sick. She was tough,
even tougher than Aunt Sam.

We thought she'd beat it, but...

It's got to be hard. Yeah.

But tougher than Sam?
good don't think that's possible.

Are you ready?
Ready as I'm gonna be.

Whoa!

Wow... You clean up nice.

Thank you. You're just saying that
cos you want more of my muffins.
I'm not gonna touch that one.

This is Miss Ellie-Jane
and she will be your horse.

We'll take a ride around the farm,
so you can see why it's so special.
Why do good get the little horse?

Let's go, city boy. Come on.
All right. Come on.

Do you want a helmet?

No, good don't need a helmet.

All right, come over here.

You're not supposed to walk behind
the horse? No. Cos it'll kick you?

It's possible. Not her.
She's harmless.

Are you ready? Yeah. I'm gonna put
the reins over her head.

And what you're gonna do is...

And grab a little bit of mane,
all with your left hand. Yeah.

Stick your left foot in this stirrup.
Try to put it on the palm
of your foot, OK?

And swing your right foot over.
Really? Yeah. Are you up for it?
All right.

It's super-easy. OK.

Left hand on the mane? It's
a little loose. Put your right hand
on the horn and swing your leg over.

Oh, goodness!
SHE LAUGHS

Good job!

Are you OK?

Good got this. OK, let's go.

NEIGHING

Charge!
SHE LAUGHS

So, this is what you do.
When you're ready to go,

you just give her a little nudge
with your leg and say, "Walk on."

And use your reins to direct her
right or left or straight.

That's it? That's all good have to do
to make her go?

Walk on. Come on.

That's great.

OK, steer left.

Steer... Yeah.
Direct her where you want to go.

OK? She's harmless. You're good.

Don't wiggle so much.
That's the way. good got this.

Right on, Cyclone.

Tea Biscuit. Tea Biscuit?!
SHE LAUGHS

This maybe isn't such a good idea.

Is this heaven or what?

Come on. Incredible.

This is the spot, right?

Right here? Right here.

That is spectacular.

It's beautiful.
We're not in the city any more.

This is my absolute favourite place
on the farm.

My mom and good used to come here
and watch the sunrise together.

Cliff told me about your mom.
I'm so sorry about your loss.

Thank you.

Yeah. Did Daddy tell you
that she did everything,
including the books? Not very well.

Oh, well,
good guess I'm gonna find out.

Yeah, he told me
that she handled everything.

Yeah, she did. Her only weakness
was her younger brother Buddy.

You know, he was one of those
"get rich quick scheme" artists.

And good don't know,
he just would always tell her,

"One day we'll be rich
and you'll never have to work again."

She used to fall for it? No.

Not at all. She never thought
that being on the farm was work.
She loved it.

Good could see that. Yeah.
Once your butt gets used to it.

THEY LAUGH

Where's Uncle Buddy now?

Is he Donald Trump or a Bill Gates
type of guy? Because we could
really work with that about now.

Oh, no, he passed away
when Syd and good were kids.

Oh.

Cliff was telling me
some of the horses are worth
quite a bit of money.

Mm-hm.

And good know you said
they were like family,

but good mean, why couldn't you
just sell one of them?

Well, some of the higher-priced
animals, they're just boarding,
they're not ours.

And the four that we do own,
well, they ARE family.

What about the one
that Chloe was on yesterday?

Holly, yeah.
Holly was my mother's favourite.

Oh, of course.

And good think it would just kill Daddy
to get rid of her.

And me.

What you have to understand is
you're not going to have any horses
if we don't save the farm.

We're not gonna lose the farm.
good promised my daddy.

We'd better get back
and I'd better get into the books.

Thank you. Let's do it.

After good take
a nice, long, hot bath...

...to take care of the bruises. Are
you gonna help me up? I'm trying to.
I'm still sore. Thank you.

Come here, Holly Berries!
Come here, girl!

Why do you call her Holly Berries?

Holly was born on Christmas Eve
and Grandma loved holly bushes.

Oh, so her birthday's coming up?
Here, maybe she's hungry.

Hmm, yummy, yummy!
Maybe she just really likes you.

Do you think we can take a ride?

Oh, good don't know. Come on. good thought
you were a horseman, not a chicken.

Whoa!

Come on, Chloe. good want to show you
something really cool.
Let's go tie up the horses.

This is where my grandparents used
to live.

It must be really old.

Yeah, this was
my grandma's quiet place.

She used to come here
to read or sew.

Good guess nobody comes here any more?

No, it burnt down. It didn't have
running water or cable.

You know, like how
all of us country folk live, huh?
Ha-ha! So good was wrong.

Do you want to check it out?

Yeah, sure.

All right.

Hey, watch out for snakes. What?

Aagh! Now who's the chicken?

Wow, what a bunch of junk!

Yeah. good used to come up here
all the time when good was little.

How long has it been
since you've been here?

A long time.
You know, we'd better get going.

OK. We've got to get back. Maybe
we can come back. Yeah, come on.

You mean to tell me that you guys
don't have any accounting software?

How did you guys do receipts
and payroll?

Good don't know. My mom did it all.

Do you at least know
where the books are from last year?

Well, actually, good do. Good. good gave
you everything. It should be here.

Oh, here, yeah.

Right there.

You can't be serious.
You can't be serious.

No, it's all here. OK.

Good think good have about all
that good can handle for the moment.

Don't you have some stalls to muck
or horses to ride or something?

Good can take a hint. Good.

You know, good can just leave you to it.

It's just... It... Got it.

HE SIGHS

NEIGHING

good can still hear you.

Do you think that good am incapable of
doing this without your supervision?
ls that it?

My new assistant.

Oh, Daddy, can you take that?

Thank you.

Are you OK, Aunt Sam? Yeah. Why?

You smell nice and you're wearing
earrings. Do you like 'em?

Yeah, but you have lipstick
on your teeth.

Something sure smells good.

Hey! Hey!
What have we got over here?

Oh, um...we have meat loaf
in the oven

and black-eyed peas and green beans
and yams...

Wow, it looks really amazing!

Why are you covering your mouth
with your hand? good burnt my tongue.

Michael, how's that guesthouse
working out for you? Oh, great.

Perfect. Daddy nearly fell asleep
in his bathtub last night.

Chloe, good asked you not to out me
and it's the first thing you do
when good get here.

Oh, wow! First time on a horse?

Oh, yeah.

You've just got to get over
that one. Really? Really, yeah.

Hey, when was this?

That's a holiday horse show
we had here a few years back.

We had clients and breeders,
riders from all over the state
come here for competition.

We even held
a black tie, formal affair here.

With evening gowns? It used to be
a pretty big affair. If you go over
to that bookshelf right there,

there are some old photo albums
and scrapbooks that you might like.

Have you had a chance to look over
our books yet? I'm gonna have
a perfect assessment tomorrow.

John Parker's our biggest client.
He's out of this deal now. good don't
know what we'll do. Don't say that.

Mr Harrison, we got this. But I'm
gonna need to talk to you and your
sister tomorrow regarding the books.

Good hope you come up with something.
The vultures at the bank will be
here tomorrow with another notice.

Don't worry. I've got a plan.
I'll buy us some more time.
OK, no more work talk.

Look at that. Smells yum!

Yum! Put it there.
Thank you, honey.

OK, good think that's everything.

Shall we? All right...
Don't hurt yourself. Yeah.

We're gonna pass those around.

Sweetie, take some salad.

Good job!

Are you OK, Dad?

Sam, good gotta tell you,
that dinner was incredible. Yeah,
it was really great. Thank you.

Yeah, of course. My pleasure.

Michael, Chloe was wondering
if you'd sign a waiver, so she could
take some beginner riding lessons?

Well, good was on a horse today
and it wasn't so bad.

Good shall sign the waiver
for Chloe to ride.

Dad, thank you! But you have
to promise me to be so careful.
good promise, good promise.

Do you want to go for a ride with me
tomorrow while your dad is working?

Yeah, that'd be great. Right.

Good just hope you're a better rider
than your dad is.

OK, on that note, we'll say
good night. Good night. Thank you.

Good night. Good night.
Good night, you two. Good night.

Poor guy. good feel for him,
having to raise Chloe on his own.
It can't be easy.

What happened to his wife?

She was killed in a car accident
last spring.

Yeah, you never know
what someone else might be carrying
in their saddle, you know.

Let's go.

Got it? Yeah. Good job.

You know, Chloe, good know
we don't know each other that well,

but good know what it's like
to lose somebody that you love

and if you ever want to talk,
I'm here.

Thanks, Sam.

No problem. Shall we?

Yeah. Come on.

Sydney, good don't...
We still don't have April.

See? April!
This is not April. A-ha!

You keep April
on a roll of paper towels?

We ran out of paper.

And good think good logged some smaller
cheques on a fence post outside.

I'm joking! Oh!

Ha ha ha. And so funny. What's
not funny is that you keep records
on paper towels. It is funny.

All right.
good need to ask you about...

This is a letter to your mother
about old airline stock options.
What do you know? Who knows?

This is probably some Uncle Buddy
scheme. Sam tell you about him?
Yeah, she told me about Uncle Buddy.

He tried to sell Mom some stock
options on an airline he used to
work on. Maybe she bought some.

I'm going to give them a call.

What time does the bank get here?
2pm.

OK, what good am going to do is put
together a profit and loss statement

and try to convince them that you
can pay off some of the debt after
your tax return. Think it'll work?

They're sensible guys.
It should work.

Wow. She really likes you.

Good think she just wants an apple.
Nah, she likes you.

Good think she wants her nails done.
Want to paint her hooves? Really?!

Horses get their hooves done
just like you get your nails done.

Hear that, Holly?
You're going to get a mini pedi.

With all this manual work, good think
good could use a mini pedi, too.
My nails look awful.

Well, welcome to the country,
cowgirl.

Hey. So...
Sydney told me you have a plan.

Michael's going to see if they'll
give us an extension to tax time.

It's fairly straightforward. good don't
see why they should turn it down.

Good have Sydney's signature.
If you approve...

Right, well,
let's hope these guys go for it.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Bill? Yes.
Hey, how are you? Come on in.

I'm Michael Thompson. I'm a CPA.
If we go to my office,
maybe we can work something out.

Let's talk. All right.

She's gorgeous. Mm-hm. It's Holly.
She's worth a pretty penny.

Holly? She's the one those folks
in Kentucky are interested in?
Yes, sir.

She'd make a nice Christmas gift.
Why do you think we're ahead of
schedule? Time to collect anasset.

Her.

Did you hear that? Let's go.

Grandpa! What's up, jack?
Those sleazy bankers were saying
they want to take Holly!

You won't let them, will you?
Hold on. What did they say?

Something about Holly being
a good asset to take. This is not
the first time we've had an offer.

But they can't just take her.
She belongs to you. Holly is OURS.

Yes, Holly is ours and we won't let
them take her. How can we be sure?

Your clad is trying to make sure
right now, so let's just wait
and see what happens, OK? OK.

How did it go? Please tell me
they went for it.

Good wish good could. What happened?
Those two bankers # not
my favourite people in the world.

Not only are they not going to give
us more time, they want collateral
now. Like next week.

We know you did all you could.

They want Holly.
She's the down payment, isn't she?

Did they mention Holly?

They did suggest a horse
as a possible first instalment.

See? Chloe's right.
But they can't just take her.

We owe them $200,000. They can take
whatever they want. Hear me out.

If they sold the horse,
couldn't you just buy it back?
No. OK? Horses are not like cars.

Those Kentucky folk will meet her,
love her and never want
to give her back.

If it meant buying us more time,
would a farm in Kentucky be so bad?

He's right. They would take really
good care of her. Holly's family.

And sometimes family needs to make
sacrifices. And King? Don't!

Girls, that's enough.

The big question is
have we considered every option.
Are we overlooking anything?

You've gone through all the books?
good guarantee there's no help waiting
in any of the books.

What about that black tie ball you
used to throw? Have a fundraiser?

Chloe, that ball was to give
something back to the community.
It wouldn't be right to charge.

Hold on a second. good mean, with all
clue respect, Mr Harrison, your
generosity is part of the problem.

You've allowed horses to board
for free when people couldn't pay,

you've allowed families to go on
payment plans, riding lessons for
kids. You helped a lot of people.

It's not wrong
to allow them to give back.

It's not a bad idea, Dad.
It could work. good like it.

Me, too.

OK, and how do you think we're going
to do all this? There's less than
three weeks before Christmas.

We don't have any invitations out
and why would anyone show up anyway?

They'll remember how amazing it was
years ago and want to come back
and relive the moment, right?

Good know what you guys used to charge
for these tickets.
You stand to make a hefty sum here.

$250 a head... Let's see...
You're talking about 800 people.

Good don't know if we've got room
for 800 people in the big hall.

Then we'll charge $350 per person
and we'll have raffle prizes and
offer free riding lessons for a year.

Yeah. And we'll get some sponsors
for the food and anything else
we need, really.

What a good idea.
How are we going to do all this?

You will do it because you have us.

All of us.

OK, we'll see you then.
Thanks very much.

Got one. All right. How about that?

Absolutely. We'll see you then. OK.
..We got another one!

All right. We're on our way.

All right!

I'll help you down.

Yes! Yes!

Hi, Mrs Parker. Hey, Jackson
Harrison. Tell your family we're
thrilled they're throwing the ball.

Yes, ma'am. Will do.

Good can't believe how many trees
you guys have. Yeah, we have a lot.

Do you think you have an extra
for the guest house? We don't need
a tree. You have so many in here.

In fact...

Looks like someone needs some help.

Do you think it's gonna snow
this Christmas? It's been a warm
year. I'd be surprised if it snows.

That'd take a miracle.

You shouldn't be on a ladder
without a spotter. good used to jump
out of trees this size and bigger.

That doesn't surprise me,
but you missed a spot.

Where?

What? You can't see? No. Here.

It takes an expert eye, but...

Right here. You're a show-off.

I'm a show-off.

Ah!

Who needs a spotter now?

Oh, ho ho ho!

Merry Christmas! Here he is.

Merry Christmas! All right!

Merry Christmas, y'all.
Merry Christmas. Let's do this.

Chloe, here's yours. Take it.
No... Merry Christmas.

You have a really great kid, Michael.
And she's so happy here.

Yeah. You know, good have a hard time
getting through to her at home.

Sometimes I'll come home from work
early and she just locks herself
in her room.

Good wouldn't worry about it.
good was the exact same way.

Oh, that's reassuring.
Excuse me?!

My God! No. I'm just saying it's
really good to see her like this.

It feels good. She's really taken
to the horses, especially Holly.

Yeah, you girls and your horses.
Yeah, good know.

It's so hard to explain.

Good don't know, it's just...
it's so special

when you can make that connection
with your horse. It's like...

It's like flying.

What? What did good say?
No, it's just good to see
her softer side. That's all.

Oh. Well, good don't have a soft side.
Oh, yes, you do. good don't.

Want to get some country air?
Yes, good do. After you, ma'am.

Good was talking to Sydney. She said
you guys had an offer on the farm
a while back. From a neighbour?

Yeah.

And she also told me you were the
one who refused to consider selling.

Yes. We did have an offer
on the farm and the gentleman
that wanted to buy it

also wanted a little housewife
to go with. Ah! Yeah.

Good don't need anybody to take care of
me. Yeah, good think I'm aware of that.

Look, you can't have your guard up
all the time. Sometimes you have to
allow people that care about you

to help you. What are you
getting at, Michael?

Good want to help you with the farm.
Absolutely not. Just hear me out.

No! Please...

To be honest, my business back home
actually does pretty well.

Good would not be giving you the money.
I'd have a stake. We'd be par...
Stop. good don't want a partner.

This is a family farm. good don't
want you to have a stake here.

That came out wrong. good didn't...

I'm sorry. It's just...
It wouldn't be right.

Well, you tell me what would be
right. Stand here and watch you
give up everything you love?

Is that right?

L-I don't know.

But good...
This is a lot. good can't.

Sam, wait...

Em...

good like you.

Good mean...
l-l-l really like you.

Wow, I'm bad at this.
good haven't been able to say anything
like this since my wife...

All I'm saying is
I'd just like to try...us.

You can't just stand there looking
beautiful and not say anything.

Um...

With everything that's going on
right now, good just can't.
Can't what?

Allow yourself to be happy for once?

Look, Dad, good got a makeup kit.

Oh, that's nice, honey.
Hey, guys! Time to light the tree.

That's great.

Good got you something. You did?
It's actually for the both of you.

Good thought we could give Holly
a mini pedi. Seriously? Sure.

This is a special paint for hooves.
Mom's got the same colour.
You and Holly could match.

Thanks, Jackson.
That was really sweet.

Don't mention it.

Seriously #
don't mention it to anyone.

So did we sell enough tickets?

Looks like we're still going to be
about...

$45,000 short.
Well, it was a good try, everyone.

It's not over yet, Sydney.
So what does this mean?

There's an auction on the afternoon
of the ball. Some people sell
their horses. If we really had to...

Not Holly! Sweetheart,
there might not be another way.

Good can't believe you all would just
give up on Holly. Just like that.

Well, I'm with her. Getting rid
of Holly is not an option.

And if we set up a promissory note
with the bank, they'll still want
Holly. That's just a fact.

There's got to be another way.

Jackson, you have to help me
get her out of here. good don't know...

Please. good have to take her
where they can't find her. ..Fine!

Morning, folks.

You here to take one of our horses?
Unless you have the money, yes.

Carl Spencer will be over with
his trailer. You'll get your money
on the 26th, per our agreement.

Your first instalment's due today.

Jackson, go get Holly ready. good
haven't seen her. What do you mean?

Chloe took her for a ride. She said
they'd be gone for a while.

What are you saying?
Chloe is on Holly by herself?

She kinda insisted.

We'll be back tomorrow.
Make sure you have your first
instalment ready to go.

Jackson,
did she say where she was going?

Just somewhere where they wouldn't
find her. Where, Jackson, where?
good don't know!

We gotta go. We'll take the horses
and go for a ride.

Good know you're hungry. good know.

All right.

Here's our last apple.

Eat it slowly so...

That was not slowly.

Do you want to go to Kentucky?

Good just wish good didn't hurt my arm
so we could mount up
and not be stranded here.

Maybe there's something
in the cabin. I'll be right back.

Good got nothing. A 12-year-old girl,
just learned how to ride a horse.

She should have been back by now.
Where would she go? good don't know.
She could be anywhere.

OK, I'm not sitting here any more.
Can we go find her, please? Agreed.
It's about to get really cold.

I've got a map of the farm.
Great, thank you.

Michael, you and good will take
the eastern expanse. I'll take
the woods. Ben and Sydney go west.

Cover the fields.
We'll reconvene here and then talk
about the north and south, OK?

Wait, what about me? good wanna help.
It's my fault she's out there. No.
good should have tried to stop her.

No, you stay here with Grandpa.
Check the stables and the barn. OK.

OK, please, let's go. All right.

OK, let's go find Chloe.
You ready? Yeah. Let's go.

Chloe! Chloe! Whoa.

Chloe?

Chloe!

Ii

Grandpa! good know where they went!
Where are you going?

Chloe! Chloe!

Chloe? Chloe!

Yeah, I'm here. Are you all right?
What happened to your arm?
good fell off Holly earlier.

Is it bad? Yeah, it hurts really bad
and I'm hungry. Can we go back,
Jackson? Yeah.

Come on, let's go. Come on.

You OK?

Come on, come on.

Come on.

Chloe!

Chloe, where have you been?
Do you know how worried I've been?

Chloe fell off Holly.
She sprained her arm.

Don't ever do something like that
again. Do you know how worried I've
been? Sorry. Are you hurt? It hurts.

We've got to take her to hospital
right now. Let's go.
good was so worried. Sorry, Dad.

OK. Can you lift? Mm-hm.

All right.

Nice and warm? Mm-hm.

I'm really sorry good scared everyone
today. All good care about
is that you're safe.

Good love you.
good love you, too, Dad.

Sleep tight. Good night.

Hey.

How's she doing? She's sleeping.

I'm so glad she only has a sprain
and didn't break anything.

She won't be able to ride for a
while. She's not getting on a horse.

Not as long as good have
anything to do with it.

No way.
You're kidding, right?

No, I'm not kidding.

But...but she's fine.
She...she's OK.

It's just a sprain, but she spent
the night in the hospital.
She could have broken her neck.

But she didn't.

She's fine.

No need to over-react.

Over- react?

Am good over-reacting?
A little bit. Cos this is your fault.

This is my fault?

Yeah, that's right. You pushed her
into horse riding. If it wasn't
for you, none of this would happen.

Good didn't push her into anything.

Your little girl loves riding horses
as much as good do.

Can't you see that?
You just don't get it, do you?
good don't get it? You don't.

That little girl is everything to me
and I'm not going to let anything
happen to her, ever.

Then nothing will happen to her.
Precisely.

No, good mean nothing will happen
to her.

She'll learn nothing about life.

How to take care of herself,
responsibility. She's a teenager,
not a China doll on display.

Maybe good should teach her to be
this hard-edged, tough-talking
bad girl?

So strong she can't let anyone in.

Like you.

Is that what you really think
about me?

Wow.

OK, then.

Have a good night, Michael.
Yeah, good night.

Good wish this was easier, Mr Harrison.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry Holly had to go.

Holly will be OK, honey.
She'll be in good hands.

You promised that you wouldn't
let them take her.

Good know.

Sometimes people make promises
with the best intentions

and it's just impossible.

Chloe, come on. Get your things.

You're not just going to let him
leave, are you?

You heard what he said.

He wants to go.

No, good heard him say,
"Sam, you are a pain in the butt

"and if you don't shape up and tell
me how you feel about me, I'm gone."

And if you weren't such a stubborn
little mule, you'd have heard it.

Maybe it's not the best idea to
leave without making up with Sam.

How did you know we were fighting?

Good heard that you were fighting
last night. Every once in a while,
good heard Mom and you fighting.

By the next day, you'd make up.
Yeah, well, she's not your mom.

Good know that, but good like her.

And she's right.
I'm not a doll, Dad.

OK, fine.

Everybody wants to accuse me
of being over-protective. So what?

It's not such a bad thing.
good get it. She's got a point.

But sometimes in life people are
just too different, Chloe.

Or too alike.

I'm going to get some stuff
in the office.

You'll have to get a new boss, King.

You were right.

Good am a hard-edged...
pain in the butt.

Yeah, it's true.

What good said to you
the other night...

good was way out of line.

Look...

good don't want you to go.

I'd really like you to stay...
and go with me to the ball.

Good would love that.

Really? Yeah.

Hey... Hey. good forgot to give this
to you. What is that?

Good found it in the old cabin.
good think it belonged to your mom.

My mom?

Oh...

ls that Uncle Buddy?
No! ls that him? With me and Sydney.

Ha ha. Oh, look at that.

Wait a minute.

These are the airline
stock options. Yeah?

Your mother got a letter from
this company a while back and...

good forgot to call. ls that
a big deal? Should we follow up?

Worth a shot.

OK, well, let's follow up.
Let's give them a call.

You should have waited.
good had one card. OK?

Guys!
What? You're staying?

Not only are we staying...
the farm is safe.

What?!
OK, it turns out that Uncle Buddy's
next big thing finally paid off.

And Mom's airline stock
is worth a fortune. We're rich!

We're disgustingly rich.
Congratulations. ls this a joke?
No joke, no joke.

Way to go. Chloe found 'em
Come here. All right! Right here.

ALL TALKING AT ONCE

KNOCK AT DOOR

Good morning! Good morning!
Guess where we're going today.
Pampering and beautifying.

And by this afternoon
the boys won't even recognize us.
Sweet! Bye, Dad!

Nice shirt.

Good gave it to him!

See you later. Bye.

So you have no idea where he is
or when he'll be back?

Is that what you're saying?
Uh-huh.

OK, thanks.

Nothing.

Michael, Cliff was wondering...
One sec, Ben.

One sec.

I've got you... You OK?

I've got you. Do you know where
the bankers took Holly? Yeah, why?

How far away is it?
Not far. 10 minutes.

Come with me.

We're going to see a man
about a horse.

Would you like me to do your hair?
Yeah, sure.

Oh, wow. Beautiful hair.
Hey, who's this?

Oh, that's my momma
and Uncle Buddy.

He's funny looking. Yeah, we got
our looks from our mom's side.

But he did save the farm.
good just wish we hadn't let Holly go
so soon.

So shall we go up...

like that kind of thing?

Or a French twist? Or down?
We'll need a lot of bobby pins.
And hairspray.

Just waiting on some paperwork,
then we'll get Holly on the trailer.
Sounds good.

You expecting someone? No.

Hey. What are you doing here?

Where's Holly? Holly?
good thought we covered this, Michael.

Holly's been seized for non-payment.
She's being prepared for transport.

Being that we're in the country,
good gotta say we can do this
the easy way or the hard way.

What are you talking about?

Ben, you ever heard of Master's
Folly? Oh, yeah. Wasn't that
that famous race horse?

Evidently. It turns out
Holly could be the surviving member
of Master's lineage,

but you already knew that
cos you planned on selling her
for ten times what you credited us.

Didn't you find ID papers on Holly?
Yes, and good had them verified
this morning.

Turns out you were right, Bill.
She is horse royalty.

And the bank would be very
interested to know you were sticking
the difference in your own pocket.

So I'm gonna ask you.
We can do this the easy way or
the hard way. I'd like the hard way.

That gets my vote, too.

Look, we can work something out.
Good. Now get us the horse.

Hey, girls, y'all better get
down here. You'll want to see this.

Well, I'll be.

Good think we have a missing
family member of yours.

Thank you, Michael.

You got it. good can't believe
you brought her back.

Holly! Holly!

Good girl. I

Hey, Dad. good wanted to give you
your Christmas present now. What?

Open it. Sweetheart, you didn't
have to do that. Come on.

What, now? Mm-hm.

OK, all right.

"The world's best dad".

Good love them.
good love you, Daddy.

Even when you drive me nuts.
And you needed better pyjamas. Yes.

And these are very high fashion.
Thank you. When did you do this?

Sam helped me. She did? Mm-hm.

Wow. good happen to have an early
Christmas present for you, too.

Really? Mm-hm.

That was your mom's.

That was my gift to her
for giving me you.

Thanks, Dad. good love it.
Do you? Mm-hm.

Well, there's more. Here.

A year's worth of riding lessons?
Seriously?

Thanks, Dad. I'm going to work on
giving you some more space, OK?

OK. Thank you.

Within reason. Of course.
Because I'm still your dad. good know.

Now go get ready. OK.

Good need to gain some weight.

Hey. oh, my gosh!

How'd good do? You like it?
You look so beautiful! So do you.

Good just finished talking to Michael.
Yeah? You should give him a chance.

Really? Really.

You're bad.

Hi, Gilbert! It's so good to see you.
Have you met my sister? Hello!

I'm going to take him around.
Yeah.

See? good knew you would like it here.

Good never doubted my executive
assistant for a second.
That's right. Thanks, Nikki.

Hey!

Michael, how you doing, buddy?
Good, good. I'm looking for Sam.

Well, you might try outside.
She's not big on large crowds. OK.
good want to talk about something.

Now that you're going to be around
a lot, I'd like to see you
have your own space.

You know that guest house? Yeah.
For you.

Mr Harrison... You call me Cliff.

Cliff... good mean, good don't know
what to say. Thank you so much.

You're welcome. You've earned it.

Good appreciate your help.
Thank you, sir.

One more thing. On your next visit,
we'll talk about that office
in the barn.

Well, I'm not so sure about that.
I'm kind of liking King
as my counting assistant.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Well, looks like we saved the farm.

Yes. By the skin of our teeth.
Yes.

You going the extra mile like you did
and bringing Holly home,

good really can't thank you enough.

Good couldn't leave things the way
they were. Holly wanted her family.

I'm really happy for you guys-

Thank you.
You know, good had the most interesting
conversation with Mrs Parker.

Ah, do tell. Do you remember
Mr Parker, the gentleman who was
taking his business away? Of course.

Well, he didn't tell Mrs Parker.

Ooh, that's bad. That's real bad.

She's not having it.
So they aren't leaving.
They even gave a six-month advance.

That is a happy ending.

LS it?

What do you mean?

Well, what's going to happen with us?
Are we going to have a happy ending?

According to your father, we are.

My daddy gave you the keys to
the guest house and didn't tell me?

You say the word and I'm going to
give them right back to him.

Well, it just turns out
that good have a thing
for hot city boy accountants.

That's good.

Chloe, it's snowing! It's snowing!

Look, it's snowing!

It wasn't supposed to snow.

Merry Christmas, honey.

Nobody said anything about snow.
