(Amy): Previously on Heartland.

- I was thinking
of maybe going rafting?

- Yeah. Yeah, sure.
(screams)

- You shouldn't have been
out there rafting at all,

Not without
your mom's permission.
- What?

- The new me, Lou.

I just want to travel the world

And follow my passion,
which is photography.

- If you have any more work,
just let me know.

- I think that might be
a bit of a long house call
from Saskatchewan.

- Actually, I'm thinking
about sticking around
for a little bit,

Keep an eye on my grandpa.

- Well, in that case,
I'll definitely throw some
work your way.

- Thanks.

(chuckling)

(whistling)

- Yup!
- Ah, come on!

- Get up there!
- Hup!
(mooing)

- Yeah.
- Whoa.

(whistling)

(mooing)
(Jack): Get up, cow,
get up there!

(whistling)

- Come on!

- Tim, look at this.

These cows are eating
this field bare.

- What, are you crazy?
It's fine.

- It's time to switch things up.

We'll get some extra hands
and move them up
to summer pasture.

- No, no, we're not hiring
extra hands.

There's tons of grass here.

- You and your bottom line,

You think I don't know
what's best for my cows?

- Oh, you know what I think?
I think the worrying's
getting worse with age.

And besides, they're our cows.

- Yeah, well,
the way you're talking,
it won't be for much longer.

- Oh, rick, you should have sent
all of this to me digitally
over the long weekend,

I could have handled it.

- It was only a long weekend
for you

While I had to suffer through
being a meager stand-in

At the women's league dinner.

- I promise I will go
to the next one.

Can't a mayor work remotely
sometimes?

Wait a minute, is that...

- Yes.

- Rick!
- Unfortunately.

- Oh!

- And I was the one taking care
of these cows

While you were off skipping
around the world with your wife.

- Oh, you're still clinging
to that, after two years.

And we weren't skipping.

(phone ringing)
- it's Lou.

Lou, I'm in the middle
of something, can I...

Is that a fact?

Oh.

All right, then.

Yeah, thanks for calling.

- What is it now?

- We just...

Won Hudson’s entrepreneur of the
year award for heartland beef.

(laughing)
- it's about time!

- Time? What time is it?
Giddy-up!

- We're gonna celebrate
when I get back!

Romeo...

(laughing)

You are late.

You are beautiful!
- Come here.

Hi! Hi.

- And a pink donut too, please.
- Okay, honey, that's enough.

- The usual, please.

- Finn?

- Amy, hey.
- Hey.

It's... It's been months.

- Yeah, I just... Just got back
into town.

- Good to know.

Then again, it would have been
good to know that you left
in the first place.

- Here you go.

- Uh...

I'll see you around.

- Rick, I thought that
we finalized this budget
on our Friday video call.

- You did, but after
you logged off,

More issues arose,
and speaking of,

Let's discuss your dad
and grandad

Winning Hudson’s highest honour.

- It's amazing, right?

- Lou, it reeks of favoritism,

Nepotism, insider voting,
everything.

Your hands are getting
really dirty in this.

- Rick, the mayor doesn't even
choose who wins.

I mean, the small
business bureau does.

- Right, but do you
think the average Hudsonite
knows that?

No.

They just see the mayor's family
cleaning up our town's awards.

- People are not that cynical,
okay?
(phone ringing)

- They are.
- You are.

Oh, it's Georgie.

Hi, sweetie.
- Hey, mom.

- How's training going?

- Good, it's daunting, the next
show is super important.

(rick sighs)
- oh, good.

You're gonna do great,
don't worry. How's Quinn?

- Good.

- Good boy.
- The usual, uh?

I think you've been back in town
way longer if that's your order
at Maggie’s.

- I've been back
for a few weeks.

- What happened, Finn?

You left months ago
with no explanation

After I set you up
with all my clients? Uh...

How do you think
that made me look?

I vouch for you and you didn't
show up for their appointments?

I lost business.

- I had family obligations,
okay?

- Then why didn't you
just call and say that?

- I don't have to explain
myself to you.

(neighing)

- Whoa, you're okay.

- I got him.

(softly): Yeah.

- Hi.
- So what's all this?

- Well, I was thinking we should
have a celebratory dinner

In honour of your award

And eat outside
at the picnic table.

(chuckling)
the whole deal, eh?

- You don't have to do
anything.

- Well, I have been eating
hotel food for weeks

And I'm longing to make
a home-cooked meal,

And what more
perfect reason, hum?

- Yeah.
(Tim): Hey!

Hi, look who I found.
- Hi!

- Well, Fred!
What brings you by?

- Well, Lou called me
this morning, told me
the good news about your award.

- Isn't it fabulous?
- It really is.

So, I came by to get
your approval on something.

- Approval? On what?

- Well, this entrepreneur award

Fits perfectly with
what garland foods is all about,

So the company went all out.

We're hoping to put that
in tomorrow's Calgary paper,
a full-page ad.

- That's one of jess's photos.
- Yeah, from the ad campaign
she did for us.

- I love this.

I mean, not just because my wife
took the photo, but...

Look, look how much younger I am
with Jack around my side.

(chuckling)
- okay.
(Lisa): Stop it!

- So, Jack, will you sign off
on this?

- Well, this gets pride
a place, now.

It's perfect.

- So good.
- Lisa?

- Thank you so much.

- All right, all right.
- A couple more?

- No, no, that's all right.
(chuckling)

- And the rosemary's
from the garden, everybody.

- Well, I would like to say

Cheers to the entrepreneurs
of the year.

We couldn't be prouder
of you both.

- Hear, hear.

- Well, thank you.
- Cheers.

- Speaking of which, you both
have to come up with a speech
for the award ceremony.

- Oh, man, I don't envy
you guys.

I mean, I'd...
I'd freeze right up.

I mean, I'm terrified
of speeches.
- Really?

Well, I'd like to say something
right now.

Fred,

Thank you
for all your support.

You know, it has allowed
our business to grow into...

Well, a success and...

And as far as I'm concerned,

This award is just as much yours
as it is mine or Tim’s.

- Oh, mainly ours.
(laughing)

- Congratulations, honey.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Congrats.
- Cheers.

(chuckling)
- thank you.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Honey, would you pass me
the bread?

- So, where did you get off
to earlier?

- Finn cotter's, actually.
- Really?

- Turns out he's back in town.

- Is that right?
- Mm-hmm.

- Well, I hope you told him how
much of a mess he made for you.

- I tried...

He didn't really seem
to listen.

- I'm not surprised.

You can't rely on that family,
Amy.

If Finn is anything
like his grandad,

He's not worth your anger or
your time; I'd just walk away.

(knocking on door)

- Hey, just wanted
to say good night.

- Oh, I spoke to your sister
today.

(phone notification)
she has a big show coming up.

Well, summer is full of them,
and I was thinking...

You and I should take a trip
down to Florida
and go watch her jump.

You know, surprise her.

What do you think?

- Uh... Well,

I was thinking and...

I'd like to stay here
this summer.

You know, be with friends,

Maybe even make a little money
at a summer job,

Have some independence.

- You really think you're
getting more independence
after that rafting stunt?

- Mom, I made a mistake, okay?

We can't all be perfect.
- Who's perfect?

- No one.
(sighs)

I'm just saying,

I'd really love to have
a typical teenage summer,

Please.

- Okay, I will consider it.

- Okay. Thank you, good night.

- Good night.

- Yes, of course, I'm in!

Thank you.

You will not regret this!

Okay, okay, bye!

- So, how was
your photography workshop?

- Oh, it was amazing.

Ezra just made me
the craziest proposition.

- Oh, I'm not sure
I like the sound of that.

- He is giving me a chance
to show my work

In a gallery in New York.

- Oh, that's very generous
of him.

- Oh, would you stop?

This is huge. This means
that I can go back to Manhattan

As a real photographer.

I've got to get everything
printed and framed and then,

I've got to get everything
shipped and I...

- Okay, okay, slow down!
All right, all right!

- ...Some photos!
(deep exhale)

- Slow down,
just enjoy the moment.

I'm proud of you,
I'm so proud of you.

- Oh, and...

I am proud of you.

Mister entrepreneur of the year?

Congratulations.
- Oh...

Well, it looks like we both have
something to celebrate tonight.

- We do!
(turns up the volume)

♪ baby don't go
come and get close ♪

(Tim): Come here!

(sighs)
- what are we doing?

- I thought about what you said.

You want a typical
teenage summer complete
with a crummy job?

Here it is.

- That is so not what I meant.

- Look, waitressing at Maggie’s
is a rite of passage
for a Fleming Morris girl.

I did it, Georgie did it,

Now, it's your turn.
- I'm not Georgie, mom.

- You want independence,
earn it.

Work where I can keep an eye
on you.

- I got your message. What's up?

- You know the horse
from yesterday? Tucker?

You saw him freak out.

He hasn't stopped.

I need your help.

It's my grandpa's horse,

And I promised I would shoe him.

- So, now, you follow through
on your promises?

I'm here,
I'll take a look at him.

- Thanks.

- Can... Can I help you
with something?

- Timbo Fleming.

Found you at last.

- So, Mike, you knew Tim
from the oil field days,
how long ago is that?

- Oh, longer than
I'd like to admit.

Tim was my foreman,

But we were close, eh, Tim?

Brothers, I like to think.

- So, that's quite the ride
you got out there Mike.

- My retirement present
to myself, I call her the beast.

(chuckling)
we've travelled all over the
country together, her and I.

- How'd you find me?

- Kismet.

I was in a Calgary diner
this morning,

Picked up a paper and boom,

There was timbo's face.
- Oh.

- Hudson's entrepreneur
of the year!

(chuckling)

After all these years
of trying to track you down.

You talk about science.

So, I jumped in the beast...

And we drove.

Only took a few asks around town
to get me here.

- Oh, man, it was...
It was good of you to stop by.

- Mm.

Yeah, I should probably
get going.

- Oh, well, don't be silly,
you'll stay for dinner at least,
no?

- Well, it's not every day
we get to meet an old friend
of Tim’s,

Or even a friend.

(chuckling)

- How about it, timbo?

Is there a seat around
your table for old Mike McCluskey?

- Get up.
(tongue clicks)

Well, he moves nice,
he's not in any physical pain.

It must be a behavioural issue.

I mean, it could be
that dark crammed barn

That you want to shoe him in.
That would scare any horse.

- He's always been calm,
he's never acted like this.

- Okay.

Why don't you come
and lift up his foot?

We'll see if he'll go through
the motions.

(neighing)

Whoa, easy.

You must have done
something to...

Make him seem like
he's afraid of you.

- So, I'm the problem now?

Great.

Now what?

- You either find another
farrier or you figure out what
the issue is between you two.

I got to get home
to my daughter.

Call me when you make
a decision... Or don't.

You know,

I'm the one who's allowed
to be angry here, Finn, okay?

So, I have no idea why you think
you have the right to be.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Oh!

- I'm so sorry, I...

- I got this.

- Hey.
- Well...

Now I know
what your text meant.

(chuckling)

So, is this like
a permanent thing?

- Well, for me and for you.

Maggie's needs two wait staff
this summer.

- What? No.
I don't have any experience.

- You think I do? Come on,
I kind of have a big in
with the manager.

(chuckling)

(man): Pfft!
Can you believe that?

- Look, I'm staying at Hudson
this summer and...

And all I want is for the two
of us to just have fun together,
you know?

Be normal, be friends,
it's important to me.

- Well, my resume is up to date.

- Yes! Oh my gosh,
this is gonna be so much fun.
(chuckling)

- And safer
than white water rafting.

- Well, you haven't seen
the kitchen yet.

(chuckling)

(horse neighing)

- What are you doing here, Finn?

- Good boy, good boy.
(horse snorting)

I don't want him to look
at another farrier.

I can do this,
despite what you might think.

I don't like walking away
from responsibility. Whoa.

- Okay.

Then, we need to get tucker
used to you again.

Hey...

All right, come on in.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Be a good boy, tucker.
It's okay.

That's it, it's okay.

(softly): Shh... Shh...

- How's he doing?
- Good.

- Good boy.
- Think that has done the trick?

- Well, definitely went better
than I expected,
I'm kind of surprised.

- Maybe...

Maybe you're just really good
at your job,
you ever think of that?

- Wow, it's the first nice thing
you've said to me.

- I knew I came back
for a reason.

- Why did you come back, Finn?

- My grandpa's sick...

And he needs me more than ever.

He's really the only family
I have, so...

- You said that you went back
to Kindersley because of family.

- Yeah, I do have family there,

It's just...
It's different, okay?

- I'm gonna keep working
with him for a while, alone,

And I'll...

I'll give you a call
tomorrow.

- Okay.

I'll see you soon.

(laughing)

- Now... Now, Tim and I can't
carry a note in a bucket,

But after a few, uh...
Beverages,

We convinced ourselves
that the open mic night
would be our big break, uh?

And actually... Actually,
we made quite a chunk of change
that night, didn't we?

- And ended up
winning the contest?

(chuckling)
- oh, no, no, no.

People paid us to get off stage.

(laughing)

But... But Tim was a star
in other ways.

And he clearly achieved
his biggest goal...

Doing right
by the two of you.

You were all that he talked
about up north.

How he couldn't wait to get back
to you, make you proud.

You know, it really warms
my heart

To see that you were able
to mend what was broken.

- All right, enough about me.

(chuckling)

- Did you just hear him
say that? That is a first.

(laughing)

- Well, that was
one mighty fine meal.

Hey, sorry if I told
any Tim tales out of school.

- No, I love it.

It's nice to get the goods
on your significant other.

- I wouldn't know.

Never been married, sad to say.

So, uh... You're from
the big apple, eh?

That city's always been
on my bucket list.

- Ah, there's nowhere like it.

I'm actually doing a
photography exhibit there soon,
which I'm really excited about.

That photo that you saw
on the cover of the newspaper,

I took that.
- Wow!

Well, you must be very talented
if you made Tim look that good.

- Yeah.
(laughing)

- Hey, how about this?

This was before I had a limp

And before Tim had style.
- Oh!

Boy!

(chuckling)
- oh.

- I barely recognize the guy,
now.

(laughing)
- oh! Look at that hair!

I am glad that
I didn't meet you then.
(laughing)

- No, give that back to him.
- That is sexy.
That's very sexy.

- So, Mike, are you...
Are you leaving in the morning?
- Uh...

- Well, there's no need
to rush out on us,

You stay as long as you like.
(chuckling)

- Don't tempt me, Jack.
(laughing)

- You were quiet at dinner.

- Yeah, 'cause
it was a Mike show.

- Ah, come on,
he was having fun.

(spits)
he means well.

- Jess, those days...

...That Mike was talking about,

They weren't fun for me.

I was deep into drinking
and drugs and...

- Well, he clearly
hero worships you.

- Yeah, well, Mike's glory days
are not mine.

Those are days
I'd rather forget.

- I understand.

I saw the haircut.

(chuckling)

♪♪

- Well, you bet!
Tim and I will be there.

(chuckling)
no, thank you.

- Hey.

What happened to Mike?
Did he leave?

- No, no, he just went into town
to get some groceries.

He says he doesn't want to mooch
off of us which is ridiculous.

You and I, we have an interview
with the Hudson times

Ahead of the award ceremony.

They want to do that tomorrow,
first thing down at Maggie’s.

- Can't argue with that.

- And I booked
those hired hands.

- I can argue with that, Jack.

- Tim, I said I want to move
the herd and I'm gonna.

I won't accept an award
on behalf of our company

When we're mishandling our land.

- You're overreacting.
- And you're on edge.

You have been ever since Mike
got here.

Why is that?

(sighs)

- Everybody wants this to be
a warm and fuzzy reunion...

It's not for me.

- Yeah, I know.
(sighs)

It's hard to look back
on times you regret,

But I also know

That revisiting
those tough moments,
that can be healing too.

- Well, I've healed up
just fine, thanks.

- Mike's alone, Tim.

All he's got is that RV
and his memories.

Here we are, a big family,

What's wrong
with opening the door

And sharing that for a while?

♪♪

(whinnying)
- whoa.

Good boy.

- Well, you thought
it was too easy
and you were right.

He reacts every time
I strike the shoe.

- Well, that noise is
a definite trigger.

Come here. Okay.

It's like he associates that
banging with what comes next.

You never... Hurt him
by accident, did you?

- No, never.

- Okay. Who did his feet
while you were gone?

- Uh... Grandpa's buddy.

He's retired, but he helps him
out sometimes.

Don... Don something.
- Don bowman?

- Yeah, mm-hmm.

- Brutal bowman.
(sighs)

He's an old-school farrier
with a bad rep for being...

Rough.

- So, you think he hurt tucker?
- Possible.

- That means I'm not
the problem, then?

- Mm... Shockingly, no.

(chuckling)
- well, thank you for that.

So, what do you want to do?

- Well, if tucker got hurt
the last time,

He's probably afraid
it will happen again.

We have to show him
that when this process
is done right, it's painless.

- Do you think we'll get
somewhere with this?

- Well, now that we know
what the real problem is...

Yeah, I think so.

- Okay.

(knocking on door)

- Hey.
- Hey.

- I don't drink anymore, but...
That doesn't have to stop you.

(chuckling)
- all right, well...

(laughing)
the beauty of the beast...

You bring your living room
with you.

- Oh.
(chuckling)
- here you go.

Let me get a glass.
- Okay.

- How's that leg
holding up, Mike?

- It doesn't.
(chuckling)

No, that's just...
I have some bad days is all.

- I... I'm sorry I was so cold
when you...

When you first arrived here,
I--

I just didn't know how to be.

- It was a surprise, I get it.

- Well, you always were great
at making an entrance, right?
Mclotsky?

(laughing)

- Well, now that takes me back.
- Right?

(laughing)

How did you come up
with that again?

- That was the... I remember
the bar and there were stairs...

- And the sled.
- The sled!
(laughing)

- So much of that is
a fog to me, now.

- Oh, it's all a fog.

- Man, we had some crazy times.

- Did we ever.
- I miss it.

Lot of people fall away
as you get older.

Life gets...
A bit lonelier day by day.

- Well, we're here now.

- Yeah, but we are here now, eh?

Ready to pull another classic
Tim-Mike all-nighter,
what do you say?

- No! I got to get up
early in the morning;

Jack and I have
an important interview.
- Ah.

- So...

- Well, you always
did love that spotlight.

- What can I say? It finds me.
(laughing)

- It does that, that...

Hey listen, here's to you,
timbo,

And that big award.

It's what brought me back
into your life.

You have no idea
how grateful I am for that.

- Good night.

(knocking on door)
- hi.

- Hey, you're headed to bed?

- Yeah. Uh...

But I need to talk to you first.

- Sure.

- I've... I've noticed
a couple things...

At Maggie’s. I mean...

Customers are acting
all weird around me

And I even heard
a few complaining...

...Um, about...

How you're never around

And how you're only back
for this award thing

Because you... Rigged it.

- Okay. Customers,
like how many exactly?

- I don't know, a few.

They just... They don't sound
happy with you, mom.

- Okay.

One of the hardest things
I've learned as mayor is

You can't make everyone happy.

There's always gonna be
a few people who are determined
to be upset and...

It sounds like
that's all this is.

- It just feels
like more than that.

- You're starting
to sound like rick.

Is he paying you or is this just
your way of getting back at me
for sticking you at Maggie’s?

- Why can't you take me
seriously?

- What?

Katie... Katie?

(sighs)

- You two sound
like a great team.

(chuckling)

- What are you doing here?

- Just grabbing a coffee.
I don't want to interrupt.

- Oh...

This is one of my oldest
friends, Mike McCluskey.

- Hudson has a real hero
in timbo here.
- Hum.

- You know, he even saved
my life, one time.
- Really?

- Yeah.
- I'd love to hear the story.

- Yeah, I think we all would.

- Well...

I worked on Tim’s crew
in the oil fields.

One time, I was digging
a trench in the reservoir,

And me being a dumb, klutzy kid,

I got down into it
though it wasn't stable.

Well, sure enough,

The trench collapses on me,

Buries me alive.

I thought it was the end...

Until Tim rescued me.

Jumped on a backhoe
and dug me out.

I'll admit, it wasn't pretty,

Tore my leg up pretty bad...

But I owe that man my life.

He stepped up, no hesitation.

- Wow, uh...

I hope we're on the record.

This would be an incredible add
to the article.

- Of course, I...
(chuckling)

I'd shout it from the rooftops
if I could.

- How is it that you have
never shared that story?

- It was a long time ago.

(sighs)

- You like that in there?

We both know I could have told
the whole story, but I didn't.

I will, though.

I'm gonna blow the lid off
the whole thing
at your award ceremony.

It's time to...
Collect on old debts, timbo...

Or else I'm taking you down.

No, I know that this is it.

Hey, maybe we oughta
compare notes,

Make sure we're not saying
the same thing.

- Jack, your speech's gonna have
to cover it.

I decided I'm not gonna accept
that award.

- Good boy.

Thanks for everything... Again.

- It wasn't all me.

I mean, despite everything,
you're a pretty good farrier.

- Right, despite everything.
(clearing throat)

Well, have fun at the award
thing, tonight.

I'm sure your grandpa's
gonna steal the show.

- You should come,
see for yourself.

- I don't want to intrude,
but thanks.

- It's lunch time,
we should be packed.

- Be right back.

- What's wrong?

(sighs)
- this is officially serious.

(sighs)

- Howdy!
- Hello, Mike!

- Another beautiful day
in paradise.
- Oh, can't argue that.

(sigh)

Why would you turn down
this award?

This is a big deal
for all of us!

- Yeah, I know it is...

But I don't want it.

I don't deserve it.
- Come on!

This, from a guy who...
Who saved another man's life.

- Truth? I almost killed him.

- What?

- That trench accident,
I was in charge....

But I was coming down
from a big night...

Drugs, booze...

Hungover
and not paying attention.

Mike went into that trench
on my order.

It collapsed.

(exhales deeply)

It just about broke every bone
in his body digging him out.

And then, he covered for me.

Went to the boss, told him
it was his mistake...

Because he knew how important
that job was for me.

- Sounds like a good friend.

- He was a great friend, Jack...

...But he's changed.

Now, he wants payback.

- What do you mean?

- He's blackmailing me.

- So, what does he want?

- A cut of our profits...
(Jack scoffs)

...Indefinitely.

Jack, if I don't give Mike
what he wants,

He's gonna go to the papers,
tell the story.

I always knew that that day
was gonna come back
to haunt me...

And now, it has.

- So, own the mistake, then.

Don't run from it.

You know, my father,
he always doubted
if I could run this ranch,

But this award, it proves
that I can, better than he did.

This is a victory...

And it's the same for you.

We built something, Tim,

Despite all the bad guys
who tried to hold us back
in the past,

We made it, in spite of that.

- Except I was the bad guy
in my past.

- Yeah, that may be...

...But you've moved beyond him.

(sighs)
- I'm so sorry, mom.

- No, I'm sorry, I should have
listened to you, to both of you.

This is a disaster.

- You'll fix it, right?
(sighs)

- Fred? Hi. I have an idea.

Uh... How about you give
my speech tonight?

You know, present the award
to my dad and grandpa?

- Come on, Lou.
(chuckling)

No, I told you, I'd freeze.

Besides, isn't it tradition?

- Traditions are overrated.

- Yeah, and you know what?
I saved your life before,

How about you save mine?
(chuckling)

- Look, you...
You put me on that stage
and I'll die again, I...

(Lou sighs)

(sighs)

- I can't believe I have to give
this speech to a town...

(indistinct conversation)

- You're really gonna play
man of the year, uh?

You know it's only gonna make
things worse in the end.

- What happened to you, Mike?

- What happened? Life happened.

Take a look around, Tim.

Does this seem fair to you?
You almost killed me.

You still get everything
and I get nothing?

- I don't have any control
over your life.

- Maybe not,

But that accident changed me,

And now, it's gonna change you.

- All right.

You give me tonight...

And I'll deal with your demands.

(clears throat)
- welcome, everyone. Hello.

Uh...

It is tradition for the mayor
to present tonight's award...

Uh, but I'm aware now
that many of you
see a conflict of interest,

And I could tell you that
I have been working non-stop
behind the scenes for Hudson,

But it won't matter because...
I haven't been showing you,

But that's going to change...

Starting today.

Now, I would like to welcome
two Hudsonites

That we can all agree
we're proud to call ours.

Awarded entrepreneurs of
the year for Heartland Beef...

Jack Bartlett and Tim Fleming.

(applause)

(Lisa): Go get them, cowboy.

- Well...

Uh... Good evening.

Now, uh...

It took a little longer
than I'd like to admit

To find the right words
for tonight but...

But in the end, they're just
like my business partner here
had hoped they'd be,

Short and sweet.

You know,

As a cowboy,

I've won my fair share
of awards and buckles...

But this hits different,

Because it's not about
a few seconds in my prime,

This is about a dream
that was built over decades

And I really appreciate
you all for recognizing that.

(applause)

- The Hudson times called me
a hero today,

But I'm here to tell you
I'm... I'm no hero.

I made a lot of mistakes,

And I carry a lot of guilt.

I've had to recover
from a couple of addictions

That influenced my choices.

Many years ago, on a job site,
I nearly killed that man,

Right there.

His name is Mike McCluskey.

Mike...

I've never been able
to forgive myself

For the permanent injuries
I caused you,

But I had to make a decision,

Had to stop running from it,

That I needed to own it,
to learn from it.

So I've worked hard...

...Worked hard to learn
how to make good choices,

And I'm here to tell you tonight
that the best choice
that I've made...

Was coming back home
to my family and this town...

Hudson, this town I love.

Thank you all.

(applause)

Care
about what you said up there?
(chuckling)

I'm still going to the press,
Tim. I'm still making you pay.

- Yeah, I doubt that.

You don't have the spine,
do you?

You still got a lot of life
to live with yourself, Mike,

Don't you think it'll be
a little easier

If you liked what you saw
in the mirror?

We all get dealt tough hands

And we deal with it.

Tim's come clean now,
so you don't have
any more cards to play.

I'd say it's time for you
and that junker RV
to get off my property.

- You always did have the luck,
eh, timbo?

(chuckling)

One day, it'll run out.

- Well, you showed up.

- I did...

To tell you something.

I wasn't lying, Amy.

I did have family stuff
back home,

But I also knew that
you'd have to clean up
the mess I made when I left.

The more time that passed,
the more awkward
it got to call...

And explain and...

- You didn't need
to explain, Finn, I...

I just wanted an apology.

- I'm genuinely sorry, Amy.

- Thank you.

- I should go.

Good night, Amy.

- Good night.

- This is a disaster.

- If you live up to the promises
you made tonight,

Hudson may forgive and forget,

And hopefully
before the election.
- Yeah.

(phone ringing)
- oh...

(clears throat)
Quinn, hi, I'm sorry,
it's not a good time...

What?

Oh, my god, is she...
Is she okay?

No, no, no, I'm...
I'm on the first flight out.

Yeah. I'll call you back
on the way to the airport.

- Oh, my...
Lou, what's happening?

- Georgie had an accident
during her show

And she's in the hospital,
unconscious.

- Lou, I'm... I'm so sorry.
What should I do?
What should I tell everyone?

- That I'm a mother first
and a mayor second

And I guess... You're in charge.

I guess all you can do is
stay positive.

So, are you nervous
about the exhibit, or... ?

- Mm... I won't be
once you're there.
