- Hey, please tell me you brought me a coffee.

Thank you so much. You are such a lifesaver.

Jonathan is up my ass about finishing this project

before the Bedfords freaking steal it from us.

And speaking of which.

- "Michelle Bedford with Bedford Development

is New York City's top 30 under 30."

- Well, yeah, it must be nice to come from money.

- Okay, so Jonathan has a surprise for you.

Ah! It's not a good surprise, it's a bad surprise.

- Hello?

- So just like, smile.

- Karen, the door's locked.

- Okay.

Welcome to work. So lovely to see you.

- Thank you. Mary?

And bring a of couple umbrellas, please.

- Good luck.

- Why are we outside?

- Yeah, walls are too thin.

Is she okay?

- Yeah, yeah. She's, you know, just, she's Karen.

- Okay, well, I have a surprise for you.

- Surprise, surprise. Great.

I love surprises.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Okay. - Fine. What?

Yeah, what is it?

- Mary?

I'm giving you the opportunity to make partner.

- Wait, really? Are you serious?

- Yes! - My God.

- And if you close this, it'll put our firm on the map,

and you will become a millionaire overnight.

- And you want, you want me to do it?

- Of course.

- I'm already a designer on this project. I'm confused.

- Well, you know, this guy is,

is kind of...totally out of his mind.

- Uh huh.

- You should hear the way he speaks.

Anyway he refuses to work with anyone

who isn't a hometown born and bred,

his words not mine, Jericho local.

- Jericho local? You gotta be kidding me.

- Look, I know you said you never wanted to go back there,

and believe me,

I did everything. - Oh, so I have to go there?

- I did everything I could to not to put you on this deal.

- Oh, that's so nice. That's so nice.

Oh, that's so kind of you. That's really kind of you.

So you're just like, you know, giving me this job

because no one else could do it.

- Look, Mary, I know you're upset, okay?

But look, you're gonna fly in on the same day,

and fly back out.

You'll be back 10 days before Christmas,

and you won't have to talk to anybody else but him.

- Jonathan, you told me I was only

gonna be a designer on it.

That's why I took this job.

I don't negotiate. You know I don't negotiate.

I can't, I mean, me? Me negotiating?

- Mary. - It's just, it's crazy.

- You're not negotiating anything, okay?

You're just gonna present him your ideas, and then sign.

It's a done deal.

Look, if we, God, this will put us

so far beyond Bedford by a landslide.

And who knows, maybe you'll be the one next

on the front cover of a magazine.

You can do this.

- Shit, shit, shit, shit.

That's okay. You're, oh!

You're. Oh shit!

Hi, my um...my car just kind

of just bumped him in two, but he's fine.

He's fine. I just, sorry I'm late.

I'm just, you know, it was like icy on the road,

so I just had to drive very slow.

We're, we're good see? Yeah.

Trying to drive slow to get here alive just.

I'm Mary by the...

Oh perfect.

Um...

Wait.

Um...

- How was it?

- Pretty good for an old timer.

Still pretty sharp.

Whoa! Come on.

Here, give him a little snack here.

- There we go. Come on in, let's go.

- Yeah?

Great.

- Oh, I'm sorry. I don't speak Spanish.

But, do you know when Mr. Byers will be coming?

Yes, yes when he...

Okay, I'll just wait.

Oh shit.

- You must be Maria.

Oh, I didn't mean to scare you.

- Oh no, no, you didn't.

- Good. You break it, you buy it.

- Oh, no, no. I'm dead serious.

This thing cost me about 10 grand.

I'm just kidding.

You should see your face. You were like this, ah!

I am so glad you are here, Maria Gomez.

- Oh, I, I go by Mary.

- Hmm? I prefer Maria.

- Okay. That's a, that's a beautiful horse, by the way.

- Thank you. It was my daughter's favorite.

She's up at college now at NYU. You ride?

- Yeah, well, I used to, my mom, she was a...

She was very well known in this town for her riding.

And she gave, well, she had a horse

that looked just like that.

- There's a lot of horses that look like that.

It's good for breeding. Let's go down to business, huh?

- Uh, Yeah.

So here are a few different mock-ups,

and I wanted to keep it homey yet family based.

So when people think of the resort,

they can think of it as a, as a home.

- Home. - Away from home.

- Yeah.

- Hmm.

You must have put a lot of work into this.

Ha, I like it.

But I prefer the entrance of the resort to be right here.

It needs to be near the main road so that everyone sees it.

Because I want this to be the star of Jericho.

- Yeah, I just designed it that way,

because there's an equestrian therapy center that's right...

- Yeah, I'm getting rid of it.

- Oh, I think there's a, a man named Mr. Griffin.

He owns that.

- Nope, not anymore. He's gone.

- Did he die?

- No, not yet, but I made him a very wealthy man.

- Oh, okay. What if we just move it?

Because it's been there for generations,

and I know a lot of kids who really benefited

from it and, yeah.

I was just thinking maybe we can move it?

- Listen, I don't wanna be that guy,

but it's losing money like crazy,

and it's a bit of an eyesore.

It's nothing personal. It's just business.

Is that gonna be a problem for you?

- No, no. Not at all.

- Great, because I cannot wait to see

who wins this competition.

I am down to two development firms. You're both excellent.

- Oh, we were under the impression

that you wanted to do business with, with...

- I do.

But I wanna do business with someone

I'm sure I wanna do business with, you know?

- Yeah. I'm sorry.

I'm just so confused because I mean,

he told me that I was just gonna come here,

and I was gonna present you the, the plans,

and then we were gonna just sign.

- I don't know what he told you,

but I'm not signing anything till Christmas.

- Till, till, Christmas.

- It's a little superstition of mine.

Um...

- Right, right. I just, I'm, I'm, I'm leaving tonight.

6:00 PM I have this, I have a flight. So I am...

- Listen Maria, I am not gonna be rushed into a deal

because you wanna get back and deal with some other client.

You have 10 days to prove you deserve this job.

Those are my terms.

- I understand. Totally.

I understand. It's just, you know.

I, I don't have anywhere to stay.

- Doesn't your father live here?

Choice is yours.

Oh, and by the way, I have another meeting.

- Sorry.

- Michelle!

- Colton, how are you?

- Fabulous, so good to see you.

- It is so good to see you.

- And how was Italy?

- It was wonderful. You absolutely have to go.

- Hello?

- Jonathan, you completely lied to me. Ow!

- So I told a little white lie to save your career.

- You know what?

A white lie is ghosting me at dinner

because you said your cat had diarrhea.

Not, not sending me through the gates

of hell telling me I'm gonna make it back alive.

- My cat did have diarrhea.

Look, you know how you need to look at this?

We've all done stuff that we didn't want to do

to get ahead, that we aren't proud of.

You're not special.

You know what I would do if I were you?

- Are you asking me that?

Because I actually do know what you would do if you were me.

You would lie to get this deal

just like Michelle's lying to get this deal.

- What do you mean she's lying?

- She's not from here.

- What are you talking about? Did you even read the article?

You're being a spoiled brat, Mary.

Stay there or leave, I don't care.

But there is a huge probability that you may,

or may not have this job when you return.

And you would've never gone if I told you the truth.

You know that.

See, this is why Michelle always is ahead,

and ends up on top.

Figure it out.

Do not go hiking.

My brother's ex got mauled by a bear

when she was taking a shit in the woods.

Oh yeah, that feels good.

- I saw that you had a, a room available online.

- Oh, we just booked out for Christmas. I'm so sorry.

- Is there, is there anything that you can do?

Because I'm, I, I have, I really have nowhere to...

I have nowhere else to go.

- I can try to get you on a waiting list

if I can take your name? - No, no, that's okay.

That's okay. Thank you.

Don't you think you could do better?

- What is going on?

What did you do?

- Nothing, I was just...

She got second and she's upset.

- You need to be a father, not a coach.

Hey sweetie.

- I just wanna be a champion like you.

- You're never gonna be a champion playing

with little dolls.

You should be training more.

That's what you should be doing.

- I tried so hard!

- We are all set.

Starting route to Burlington International Airport.

- You've gotten so big!

So now, are you 30 years old now?

Is this?

- Ayla, come here.

Can you go to your room, yeah?

Finish your coloring there huh?

- Good to see you too.

- It's been like, what, 12 years?

What are you doing here?

You coming?

- Maria.

- Hi Dad.

How does the other guy look?

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- Everything okay?

- Yeah.

- Why didn't you call?

- I, I wanted to surprise you.

- Oh, I doubt that.

- Well, I want to know about it.

Come on, sit down.

- Can I go to the bathroom first?

- Think you remember where it is?

- Dad.

- Why do you need that thing anyway?

- He doesn't.

- You should see how much free shit I get with this.

Plus there's a sword in it, for the bears.

So, honey, um...

What's going on?

How's everything in the big city?

Land any big deals yet?

- Yeah, yeah, it's good.

The, the firm always is,

they're, they're always getting deals.

- Don't get upset, Maria.

But I'm a little bit confused.

I mean, we haven't talked-- - We've talked.

- Text messages and calls on my birthday.

That's not talking Maria

but I get it.

Maria needs to make it in the big city.

- I got a big job down here.

- There it is. Only when it's right for Mary.

- This was, this was really a mistake. I'm sorry.

I don't even. - No, no, no, no, no, no.

Please, Maria, Maria. Maria, please, sit.

Cynthia

Maria...sit.

What job?

- Um, a development job.

- The Colton buyers' thing?

- Yeah, yeah. How did you, how did you know about that?

- The whole town's talking about it.

How long are you gonna be in town for?

- Um, till Christmas.

Can you just, can you call Uncle Jamie,

and ask him if I could stay with him?

- No, no way. You're staying here.

- Dad!

- No, I do think, I do think it's better

if I stay with Uncle Jamie actually.

- They moved to Atlanta.

Their daughter wants to be an actress.

You're staying in your old home.

- You know the property the buyers bought

has the equestrian center on it?

- Yeah, yeah, I, I, I really tried

to convince 'em to keep it.

- Oh, okay.

Well then you must also know that Carlos is running it now.

It'll be such a lovely Christmas gift when he realizes

you're the one slipping it out from under his feet.

Ayla, come move your shoes please.

- Second place Maria, really?

Don't you think you can do better?

- What is going on?

Hey sweetie, I have something for you.

- Just wanna be a champion like you.

- Maria, you are already a champion.

You don't need any piece of metal to prove that.

- All right? So take 'em equal distance all the way across.

Little too much?

Nah.

No, no! All equal distant all the way across.

- Mr. Carlos.

- Look at you.

You know what we're gonna do today?

- Ride Rain?

- Not quite.

- Can I lead him with the carrots?

- Yeah, I think you can help me.

Give him that if you want.

- How you doing, Mary? Good to see you.

- Good to see you too.

- You're all grown up.

- Oh, I don't look the same as I did when I was 10?

- About the same height.

- Okay.

- So that was you the other day,

driving around like a crazy city girl.

- I heard you, you run this place now.

- Doing what we can, yeah.

What brings you to town?

- I-- - Mr. Carlos.

- How are you doing?

- Doing good.

- Emily, why don't you meet my old friend, Mary?

- Hi.

- Hey.

- Rain used to be hers.

- Really?

- Yeah. Do you like Rain?

- Yes, I do.

- Which one's your favorite?

- Rain.

- Cool.

- Will you give Rain a snack for me?

- Yes.

- I'll see you in there.

- Si.

- Um, you have Rain here?

Yeah, what happened to Shell Pond

- Just wasn't working out there.

Wasn't really making friends with the other horses,

but she's doing great here.

She's quite the popular horse.

Would you like to see her?

- No, no. No, it's okay.

- You sure?

- I can maybe, maybe later.

- Mr. Carlos!

There's a explosion in the barn.

- I'll be right there.

- It's a pretty shitty situation.

- Well as you can see, duty calls.

How long are you in town?

- Till Christmas.

- Maybe we can see each other.

- Meet you downtown for coffee?

- Sure.

- Oh hello?

- Maria, Colton.

- Oh, hi, um.

Did you, did you put yourself in my, in my phone?

- Oh, no, no, no.

I paid the phone company to have my caller ID show

as "Boss Man."

- Oh, okay. That, that's nice.

- Listen, first competition's tomorrow, 12:00 PM.

Bring your whole family, and a date.

- I mean, but my family, you know, they work

and stuff, but- - No, no, no, no, no.

This is a family competition.

You can't compete without them.

- That's fine, that's fine. They'll come.

Michelle, she's bringing her family too?

- Maria, why are you being difficult?

- Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm not trying to, to, to be, you know.

What do you mean by tournament?

- Ah, that would be cheating.

You'll find out tomorrow.

Is there a problem?

- No, no, no, not at all. It's fine.

- Excellent. And a date.

- A date?

- Great.

- So he's really making you compete for it.

- Mm hm.

- It's good.

- Mm, wow.

- Told you it's the best.

- So how do you like working for Colton?

- Oh, Mr. Colton's a little-

- Crazy.

- Yes.

- Yeah.

- But he's a good boss. And the resort's a good idea.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah, it's gonna bring more tourists, more people.

Gonna fix up the center, and maybe one day

when I have enough cash I can buy it from him.

- Sell, sell you the equestrian center?

- Yeah.

- And you guys, you guys talked about that?

- Yeah, when Mr. Griffin sold it to Colton,

he made him promise

that he'd sell it to me one day.

- Okay, and that is, that's in your contract, right?

- No, but Mr. Colton's a handshake kind of guy.

I trust him.

- Okay, so, so this is, this is um...

This is gonna be really strange,

but um, I have to bring a date.

But it wouldn't be a date, date. It would just be like...

- Save you from the Abominable Snowman?

And you're asking me?

- Essentially, yes.

- If you can ask me in Spanish, I'll go with you.

- What?

What, are you serious?

- Yeah.

- Oh, okay.

- Just stop, stop, stop.

I'll go with you if you promise never

to do any of that again.

- Oh I'm not. I wouldn't do, I'm not doing that again.

- Never.

- Never.

- But first can I go show you something?

Just trust me. It's gonna be good for you.

- I really hate you, you know that?

- All I'm asking for you is to say "Hi."

If it gets too much, we'll go.

- Okay.

- Come on.

It's okay.

- I don't think I want to.

I'm just gonna go home.

- Where the hell have you been?

You haven't returned any of my calls

or my texts.

The only reason I know you're not digesting

in a grizzly bear is because

you have your read receipts on!

- I'm walking my family into

the Christmas version of "Squid Game."

You're caught up.

- You know what I would do if...

- Sorry.

and I would comb his hair with my toes.

If that's what he wished.

Because, you know what?

$1.2 billion dollars!

- Absolutely not.

- Ponies!

- I think it's a good idea.

- Ayla can't make it anyway.

- Why?

- None of your business.

- Cynthia.

- Dad, Ayla will be with Adam until Christmas.

I'm not rescheduling all of that again.

- Okay. So then you, me, and Sarah will go.

- Dad, listen, okay.

If we go, it's gonna look like we're supporting him.

- Who said anything about supporting?

I just want to eat all of his tamales.

- We're not doing this. No.

- Look, it's a good thing for the family

to go out together for once.

Fine. You take Sarah.

I'm not coming.

- Aye-ye-ye. I'll talk to her.

- No, no. Dad, let me, let me.

Let me talk to her.

I get why you're mad.

What was I supposed to do?

Like, I don't know. Stay here forever?

I'm sorry, like, I just...

I couldn't do that.

And I get, like, I could have,

I could have handled it a little better.

- You think?

- I mean, you didn't reach out either.

You know, I, I reached out many times,

and you, you,

you pretty much blocked me on everything.

And the only reason that I knew about Ayla was

because Adam posted about it.

- Stop it. You could have come home.

Clearly you didn't want any reminders of family

so I made it easy for you.

Look, I don't want any more bullshit, okay?

Just tell me what you want.

- I saw all the bills.

- We're doing fine. Thanks.

- I can help.

- I don't want your help.

- Cynthia, you are months behind in property taxes.

There is, there is crap everywhere.

And Sarah doesn't even have a phone.

- Sarah doesn't need a phone.

- She's 17.

Okay, fine. I don't wanna bullshit you.

What if I...

What if I give you a percentage to help me?

- Ha, Wow.

I expected you to go low, but

not this low.

- I'll give you 10% of my commission.

And that would mean you would get $1.2 million.

- 1.8.

- Come on.

- 15%, and I'll consider it.

- Fine.

- It's not even Christmas yet.

- It's never too early for presents.

- Guessing you haven't told him yet?

- No, but I will so please don't tell him.

- Oh, I won't. This will all blow up in your face anyway.

- It's presents for you.

It's a lot of snow. Where did all the snow come from?

- What's going on?

- Nothing, I'm just um, I'm done,

I'm done.

- What about tomorrow?

- I'm not, I'm pretending to have a happy family

when that's obviously a lie.

So, you know, I'm not playing that stupid game just to win.

- You can't leave Maria.

- I don't speak Spanish, Dad.

So you and Cynthia downstairs get to talk in Spanish.

You leave me out.

What did you say?

- This family doesn't lose.

- God, Dad. We did, okay.

We lost, the second we lost mom. We did.

And maybe you don't wanna admit that to yourself,

and okay, that's fine but we did, so.

- I took care of you girls.

- Yeah, you did, as a coach.

You didn't take care of us as a dad.

I mean, you wanted us to get over mom as fast as you did.

But you knew, Dad.

You knew that was hard for us, right?

You knew it was hard and you still threw everything away.

I mean, you did keep the trophies, so...

yeah I guess that was something.

- Your mom wouldn't quit.

- Oh, what the heck is this?

- Um, you didn't tell Carlos about the center?

- No, not yet. Didn't tell him I changed my mind.

But now that you're here, you can do it.

- Um, I just think that--

- 15 minutes till we start, and then when we're done,

we're gonna celebrate with music and food.

Yeah!

- This is ridiculous, right?

- Not as ridiculous as somebody heading to New York

on horseback when they were 10.

Had to kick that kid off the horse and then go after you.

- Oh my God. I didn't remember that.

- I did.

- I remember, that was such a long time-

- Hey guys. You must be Mary, right?

- Hi, yeah. I'm sorry, what's your name?

- Michelle. - Michelle, cool.

- You work for Ace Development, right?

- Yeah.

- I just love your little firm. It is so great.

- Thank you.

- Isn't this nice getting our families together?

- Yeah.

- Your niece is adorable by the way.

And your dad, so cute.

- Thank you.

Yeah, your sister looks like she could be

on the cover of a magazine.

- Oh, thanks. That's my mom.

Stepdad on the right with my younger brother Alex.

And my date, Tyler, who I just met.

Your mom couldn't come?

- Oh, no, no. She's dead.

- Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I didn't know.

- Oh, no, no, it's fine. I'm messing with you.

I mean, I'm not, not my mom being dead part.

She's really dead. She's very, very dead.

But you know, just the part with the messing with you.

So sorry, I'm, nerves the cold, you know.

Sorry.

- No worries. I'm honestly really nervous too.

I haven't played any sports in like two months.

So may the best team win?

- Yeah.

- It was good to see you, Carlos.

- So you, you know, you know her.

- It's a long story.

- Okay.

- Well done ladies, well done.

- Now remember, it's about winning him over.

Not some stupid games.

- Mm hm.

- Right here.

- What does that mean?

- It's for good luck.

- Maria. - Okay.

So I was thinking,

how am I gonna choose from your families?

I mean, they're both so wonderful.

- Thank you.

- So much.

- So I was thinking whoever wins the three events

wins the whole thing completely.

- Oh, I thought this was just to get to know,

to know our families, right?

This wasn't a real...

- It was, it was.

But then I started thinking, Colton,

wouldn't this be more exciting

if it was an actual real competition?

- I love that.

- I'm glad you agree.

So the next competition

is going to be at my Christmas ball.

All right ladies, don't forget to bring a date, huh?

- Hey Carlos, do you wanna be my date?

- It'd be kind of weird 'cause I'm here with Mary.

- Oh, Mary doesn't mind.

I mean, it's all in good fun, right?

Oh my God, are you two like actually dating?

Oh, I am so sorry. I had no idea.

Nevermind.

- No, no, no, we're not, we're not. It's fine.

- Oh. Well. - It's fine.

- Well, what do you say, Carlos?

- Okay.

- Great.

- This family doesn't lose.

- Forget it.

Hi.

- Okay?

- Oh yeah. I look that bad?

- Yeah.

- Uh, thanks for coming yesterday.

- No problem. I had a good time.

You know, Michelle and I,

I might have given her a few lessons.

- Oh yeah, it's fine.

Yeah, I mean, she's lucky she got the best coach.

- I don't know about that.

Your mom was the best coach.

I'm a close second though.

- Ah, Maria, nice to see you.

- Hi.

- Still need her?

- No, Emily just left.

- Okay, great. Well I'm gonna take her out so she can graze.

We'll bring her back. Give her a bath.

So you set it up and I'll be right back.

See you tomorrow.

- Yeah. About tomorrow.

What's, what is, what's happening tomorrow?

- Relax, Maria. Genius comes as a does.

You can't rush it.

- She's Colton's horse?

- Yeah. Haven't had enough money to buy her myself so.

But when I buy this place,

she's coming with me no matter what she costs.

She wants to say hi to you.

Do you wanna say hi to her?

It's okay.

- Okay, open.

- What?

- Quick close. Open, close.

- I look like mom.

I also look like dad.

- I dunno. I can't.

I can't really remember what she looked like.

- You were really young when it happened.

- Can I change in here?

There's not much space in the other room.

- Yeah, come in.

Oh, I can't believe I had to do my own hair,

and makeup for this.

But there is just no reliable glam around here.

I mean, I'm sure there's good people,

but it's just not like the same as

in New York City you know?

Can you zip me?

I can't even remember the last time I was

at one of these things.

You know what? Yes I do.

I was just at one for my 30 under 30 party,

but that one was much bigger.

- We're gonna leave you to get dressed, okay?

- Okay.

- Yeah.

- What are these?

- Yeah, well is wasn't my idea that you put 100 rollers

in my hair last minute.

- Well, it looks really...

Are you okay?

- Yeah, I just slipped.

I think I'm overdressed.

- Well, I'm underdressed. So here we are.

- Wow.

If your mother could see you now.

- Happy tears only.

- Having the both of you here right now

means everything to me.

Ready?

See you on the other side.

- What's your problem?

- I mean, look at you.

Do you actually think we're competing?

Think that I care about you?

I just wanna win.

That's all I care about.

See, that's your problem.

That's why you don't win.

You collapse under the pressure.

But the big difference I see between you,

and me is that I came to this trashy town.

I wasn't raised in it.

- No one talks to my family like that you rich bitch.

- Are you serious? - Are you kidding?

- You pushed me.

- You pushed me!

- Oh, I, didn't.

- It was your stupid sister.

- What is this going on?

Stop it, stop it.

Stop it right now.

I'm very disappointed in both of you.

I'm sorry Maria but you lose a point.

- What?

- Now what are you smirking at?

You lose a point too.

And if I ever see anything like this again,

especially in front of my guests,

you both will go home with absolutely nothing.

- That wasn't the deal!

- Yeah, I think I made the deal.

- Seems like you two are getting along.

- Oh yeah. I think, I think she's hungry.

Do you have any, have any treats?

- These always work.

- Oh wow. Peppermint.

I'm actually surprised you didn't make me ask you this

in Spanish.

- Next time.

- Are you gonna tell me what a hot mess I was last night?

- Do you find out what the last event is?

- No.

I'm sure Michelle will,

because she keeps trying to sabotage me, I swear.

Do you know what I wish?

That I could be this cold, heartless bitch.

- No, you don't.

- No, I, I do.

I do because then I just,

I wouldn't care about any of this you know?

And then I could just break into his office,

and, I don't know.

I wouldn't care.

- He did plan a birthday party for his daughter tonight.

Might be a good time to break in.

- Maybe.

Okay, okay.

- Okay. Head down the hallway,

all the way to the left.

Okay, okay. You found it?

Shit!

Can't see.

- He's walking down the hallway right now.

Get out of there right now.

Go. Hurry up.

Hurry up.

- Oh shit.

Carlos, it's the Christmas Cowboy.

- Get outta there right now.

- It's a horse competition.

- Coming, coming, coming.

- What's that sound?

- Hi.

- Hey Dad.

- Where are you?

- Yeah, so.

- Is everything okay?

- There's been an issue,

and I don't think I'm gonna be able...

- Ah.

- Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna be able to come.

- No, no, no, it's fine.

- I know it's very last minute.

I'm really, really sorry.

- Yeah. Love you too.

Damn it.

What?

- It's not the right snowman.

- That one?

- Go Mary.

- He's making me ride a horse.

Why did these things always happen to me?

- A horse?

- Of course.

- When?

- It was the third time.

- When? - It was like 100 years old.

- You were, oh wait. Yeah, you're right.

I had it since I was like...

- ten.

- Was that when we bought it? You were the, ah.

- I don't remember the year.

- All right. Well you're gonna have to buy my dad a new one.

So good luck.

- I'll manage.

- Yeah?

- Mary.

- Too slow.

- Why are you doing all this?

- 'Cause I want you to win.

- Why?

- You deserve it.

- I don't.

- You do.

- I don't. I'm a quitter.

- You were eleven years old.

That's not quitting.

Right, Rain?

Did I ever tell you the story

of how I met your mother?

- No, I don't think so.

- So I was 13 years old.

My dad had just died.

I was feeling rebellious

so I decided to steal a horse.

- Really?

- Yep. I didn't even wanna steal it.

I just wanted to ride it but

and your mother caught me.

You know what she did?

She gave me a job.

And she even convinced that old guy

to give me that horse.

So I owe your mother everything.

Now you asked me

why didn't I ever leave?

I traveled the world

competing, but I get something here

that I just couldn't get anywhere else.

- What's that?

Goodnight Rain. Goodnight Mary.

- I didn't earn this yet.

Goodnight.

Hey, do you want a treat?

Do you want a treat?

Got your message.

- You're ready.

Come on. It's okay.

- Oh God.

Ugh.

I'm all right. I'm fine, I'm fine.

I'm just gonna need a second.

- Would you be more comfortable with another horse, Mary?

- Stop, okay? Please just give me a second.

I'm just asking for a second.

I'm just not gonna be ready when you tell me

that I'm ready, okay?

- Did I ever tell you the story about Comet?

- This isn't about Rain.

- My dad had a horse named Comet

that he rode, almost killed him.

And I asked him, "Are you ever gonna ride it again?"

He said, "When I'm ready."

Then I rode that horse, and broke my leg,

and he told me the same thing

"When you're ready."

Except a lot of time passed, and he died,

and I never rode that horse again.

Maybe that's why I stole that horse.

- Just handle it.

- Once upon a time.

Okay, now Rain.

Can't read if you keep...

Do you want a peppermint?

Okay, okay, okay.

I'll give you peppermint.

Sorry. I'm sorry I don't have one.

I'll tell him just after we win

I promise.

Oh yes, I know.

- Morning. Welcome to this year's Christmas Cowboy.

Who's ready to get started?

There they are. Bring them on out.

We're gonna let the riders get settled

and then we'll begin.

- Where's Rain?

- I dunno.

- Okay, because that's not Rain.

- I'm just as confused as you.

He was with Mr. Colton earlier.

- Did you go ask Mr. Colton where he is?

- He must have stayed with him.

- Can you go find her?

Just go look in the barn.

- You don't need Rain to win.

- I do need Rain to win.

I can't-- - You can do this.

Have patience.

Do everything you've been practicing and you will be fine.

- So I'm riding the pinto?

- You got this.

- I got this, I got this, I got this. Thank you.

I don't got this.

- This year we're gonna do things a bit differently

because this is the most important event of the competition.

Maria Gomez and Michelle Bedford

are gonna compete against one another

in a variety of events they feel comfortable with.

Whoever claims this year's title of Christmas Cowboy

is also gonna win the development deal

and a special bonus.

Who's ready to get started?

- What if we split the deal,

our firms can work together on the project,

and then we don't have to do this.

- You're just saying that

'cause you know you're not gonna win.

- Okay, fine.

Then just promise me that if you win,

you're gonna do whatever you gotta do

to save the equestrian center for Carlos.

Because that's all I care about at this point.

- First up, Michelle Bedford riding Midnight.

Here comes Maria Gomez riding the pinto, Calvin.

- Maria, we believe in you.

Oh my God, look! The horse is skipping.

- The judges can rate them

on three things, presence

precision, and agility.

- Okay, the winner of this year's Christmas Cowboy is...

Michelle Bedford.

For being our champion and winning the tournament,

you're gifted with a special local bred,

and raised Jericho champion.

- No, no, no. You can't take that horse.

Colton, you can't take that horse.

- You cheated.

There's consequences of deceiving people.

- Michelle, please don't take that horse.

My mom, she gave me that horse like-

- Aw.

- I'll do anything. It's so cute that you miss your mommy.

- Michelle, that's enough.

See y'all at the Christmas Eve party.

I'll make the official announcement.

- You've taken this way too far.

- I had no idea.

- She can't take Rain.

She can't take Rain, please.

- I'm so sorry. It's not up to me.

It's Mr. Colton's horse.

- It's Mr. Colton's horse. I don't care if it's Mr.

It's my horse. It's my mom's horse.

- Isn't this cute?

- What do you want?

- Cowboy, I was here to offer Mary something.

You can have Rain.

In exchange for the development deal

Shit, sorry, I forgot I won that too.

Oh, at least I'll be seeing a lot more of you Carlos.

Oh, nevermind

since we're tearing downthe equestrian center.

- Michelle, stop!

- She didn't tell you.

- What's she saying?

- Sorry, I tried to tell you.

I wanted to tell you so many times.

And then, and then I just thought

that if I could win that,

I don't know I could have just convinced Colton

after this whole thing was over and

after we signed that I could...

I could win it back.

- You really didn't know.

Oops.

- Carlos, please, please just let me.

You are such a cruel bitch.

- I underestimated you.

I would do a lot of things to win

but lie to the man

that would risk everything for me?

Your mommy must be really proud.

- Hey Michelle.

- Oh! Oh my nose!

- So you're leaving?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

I was just waiting for you to ask.

- I thought you threw this away.

- If you spent more time training

and less time playing around with little, little dolls.

- I try so hard!

Where is she?

She's gone?

- They just took her.

- Oh God, you didn't even let me say goodbye.

- She's not my horse, Mary.

- We cannot let her take her.

I mean, are you even listening to me?

We have to go do something.

- Maybe if you would've

been more honest with me from the very beginning

I could've helped you, but you weren't.

- Can you just let me explain?

- There's nothing to explain.

You haven't been honest with me since the very beginning.

You've been lying to me this whole time.

- I think that it's way more complicated than that.

- You really think I wanted you to lose?

After everything we've been through.

You still don't get it.

What a coach I was.

- So that's it. You're just gonna quit?

I mean you can't quit.

What about everything that you said? Those were?

All that was a lie too?

- Can't quit something you were never a part of, Mary.

- And Rain just had a significant mishap.

Carla is not moving.

- Maria, you don't need any piece of metal to be a champion.

- Hello?

- Thought I might see you.

- Yeah?

- Mm hm.

- What do you think I might say?

- Oh, what do I think you might say?

- Yeah.

- Something like, "How dare you?"

- Yeah.

- "Who the hell do you think you are?"

- Who in the hell do you think you are?

- Yeah.

Mm mm.

- I can't understand you, man.

What's your problem?

You're so bitter and cruel.

Are you acting like this because

you have some major crisis?

Are you dying? Do you have cancer?

Like I can't figure you out.

Is it your daughter?

- I got angry 'cause you cheated.

And when I get angry,

I don't always make the best decisions.

Her birthday, now Christmas.

I just can't seem to get her to come home.

She's my tough one.

- Can I give you a piece of advice?

Maybe you're a hard ass.

- A what?

- A hard ass. Yeah, I don't know.

Maybe you are. Have you considered it?

Have you ever asked yourself why

she doesn't wanna come home?

I mean maybe the reason why she doesn't wanna come home

is because you don't

you don't let her come home.

I mean, because when she does come home,

she has to play your stupid games.

And whether she wins or not

all she is left with

at the end of the day is just how,

just how inadequate she is to you.

And you know, maybe

maybe one day you do

you become this better man.

You become this, this better dad.

And it doesn't matter

because no matter how many calls,

or texts you send, she's just always gonna be

left with the dad who didn't believe in her.

And I don't know, maybe one day,

maybe one day you get

you get really, really lucky

and she does come home

and she sees you

but you're not

you're not riding a horse

but you're walking with a cane.

And just somehow

oh God, somehow she realizes

that everything you did well it wasn't

because you didn't believe in her

it was because you did.

- I dunno if we're gonna get that lucky.

- Yeah. Yeah, I don't think so either.

- I'm sorry, Maria.

- Do you want me to see

if I can get you home early?

- No, there's actually one more thing that I need to do.

But can you, can you do me a favor?

- What do you need?

I'm a bad person.

- No, what I was gonna say

was that I always wanted

to clear out your room

and dad would never let me

because he always knew you'd come home.

And yeah...

you've made some bad choices.

And those choices have hurt people.

But just because we make bad choices

doesn't make us bad people.

- So are you gonna tell me that I?

Are you gonna tell me that it blew up in my face?

- No, I'm not here to taunt you.

I wanna support you.

I mean, sometimes we all hurt people

even when we don't mean to.

- But you meant to.

- Oh yeah.

- Yeah.

- I mean you're the queen of getting yourself

into very interesting situations,

and somehow you always figure it out.

I mean, how did you even manage to get the deal?

- I really have no idea.

- Maria.

- Okay.

- Speaking of which.

- Mm hm.

- I think I deserve a raise.

- What the hell is going on?

I'm so, I am so

so tired of whatever sick, twisted game

that you are playing.

- Nope. No more games.

I promise, it's yours.

You ready?

- I don't want it.

- What?

What do you mean you don't want it?

It has to be you.

- Why?

Why?

Okay, so then if it has to be me,

you let me buy the center from

you and you build around it.

Or you can just give it to Michelle

because I don't want it if you don't.

- Hmm.

Your mother would be damn proud.

- I'm confused.

- The baby in this picture is not my daughter.

It's Cynthia.

And when your mom had her, everyone was so happy.

But I was the most excited 'cause I'd been such

not a great brother

that I thought I could be

a good uncle.

- This is messed up.

- Maria, I'm your uncle.

- You're not my uncle.

- I am.

- You're not. You're not my uncle.

- I am.

- You're not. You're not.

I don't have an uncle.

I would've known that I had an uncle,

and Cynthia would've definitely known

that she had an uncle.

Cynthia was four when I left.

We're telling you the truth.

- My mother's name was Johnson.

- Yeah, that's our family name.

I took my wife's last name.

- Well that's really convenient to you.

Where's your wife?

- Her last name mattered to her,

and mine didn't so much at the time.

- So that means my dad, he...

- He knew. Yeah, he knows.

- He knew this entire time that you were my uncle,

and he didn't, he didn't say anything.

- If we had told you

would you have come back?

- So this was just some

elaborate scheme to...

Are you insane?

- Runs in the family, my dear.

- I'm gonna, I'm gonna kill him,

and then I'm gonna kill you,

and then I'm gonna kill him.

- I understand it is a lot to process.

- So that means you were just gonna gimme

this deal this entire time.

- No, no, no, no, no. You had to earn that.

I didn't know what kind of woman you'd become.

I had to make sure you were the right person

for the job and you are.

- I literally lost every single competition.

- You won the only one that mattered, character.

- So what did you do to mom that she just...?

- Disowned her only brother?

Ah, that is a long sad story about my lack of character.

When your mom passed, I tried to reconnect

but your dad was angry and it was too late at that point.

Plus it would've been confusing for you girls.

Then one day your dad called and we made up,

and I bought this house,

and I fell in love with the place again.

And I knew that I wanted to make it my home.

But I knew the only way I could make up for all

that lost time with your father,

and the family was to bring you back.

So here we are.

I apologize for all the secrecy.

For everything really.

Especially being a jerk.

I took it too far with Rain.

Hey, I had no idea how much he meant to you.

- Yeah, yeah.

That was,

that was pretty messed up.

- Hmm. Come on, I have one more surprise.
