Hey, you guys, look at that.

Hey, you two really have to see that.

Right over there.

Well, I gotta tell somebody about this.

[cell phone rings]

Dad, you can't talk on the phone

and drive at the same time.

Well, it's getting kinda lonely up here.

You're silly, Dad.

Thought this was supposed to be a big family adventure,

together.

Yeah, well we're pretty together.

Yeah, well, we're not talking.

I'd like to say something.

All right Emma, that's, that's more like it.

How much longer?

Are we almost there yet?

Yeah, let's talk about that.

Why did we have to go out for Christmas, anyway?

Why couldn't we just stay home?

In fact, why are we celebrating Christmas at all?

It's all just a big waste of time.

Yeah, we've been gone for weeks now.

Hey, Emma, aren't we exaggerating

just a little bit?

We left exactly two, count 'em, two days ago.

We'll be there day after tomorrow.

Are you sure, Dad?

Yeah, I'm sure, why do you ask me that?

'Cause I think we're lost.

What makes you say that?

I'm pretty sure I've seen that horse before.

Yeah, well,

all horses pretty much look alike.

No, they don't.

They're like humans.

Every one of them is--

Smelly?

No.

Every horse is special.

All right, well,

I guess it wouldn't hurt for us to pull over

and check the map.

Why? I can just pull it up right here

on my GPS, Dad.

Yeah, well, I can pull it up right here

on Mr. Rand McNally.

All right, let's take a break.

I should probably check in with your mother anyway.

Let's pull over up here.

Hey, honey.

You up?

How's your mom?

Okay.

How long's she gonna be on the crutches?

What is this place?

You folks looking for some hay?

You scared us.

Scared ya?

I'm not the one creeping around.

I'm standing over here minding my own business.

So you looking for some hay?

Hay?

Do we look like farmers?

Emma, this guy thinks we're farmers.

No, you look like a couple of folks that uh,

could use some soda pop.

Are you thirsty?

No.

I am.

Two soda pops coming right up.

All right.

I don't know exactly, but I got a good map.

Yeah, no, we're making good time.

We'll be there by Christmas.

The kids?

Yeah, well, the kids are driving me crazy,

what do you expect?

All they keep talking about is they wanna

spend Christmas at home.

I've heard this 493 times.

I know this because it's once for every mile of the trip.

Having a few problems there?

My bottle cap is stuck.

Haven't you people ever heard of pull tabs?

We people?

Sure, I heard of 'em.

Ain't never seen one.

Can you make this work?

Let me take a look at that.

Maybe it's defective.

How'd you do that?

There you go.

Might wanna hold on to this bottle opener.

May come in handy someday.

Yeah.

I highly doubt that.

You two have never seen a soda pop

that didn't come in a can, have you?

No, we're from a civilized world.

Ah, so that's where you come from.

I thought maybe you was aliens.

Well, we got a lot of uncivilized stuff

around here.

Take a look around.

See what you find.

All right, well, listen,

we're heading up into the mountains soon

so I don't know about the cell phone up there.

So don't worry if you can't reach me

for a little while, all right?

Yes, I've got all the Christmas presents.

No, I didn't forget the family portrait

for your mom, I got it.

All right, all right, sweetie.

Love you, bye.

What is this?

That, little lady, is a telephone.

Uhhuh.

Sure it is.

No.

This is a phone.

If that's a phone how do you play games on it?

And how do you take it to the car

if it has this cord?

And where's the screen to watch movies?

All good questions, I suppose.

Do you have an old computer around here?

No old computers around here.

See?

Uncivilized.

These kids bothering you?

No, not at all.

We're just educating each other.

Guys, we better get going.

Let me pay you for the sodas.

Not necessary.

By the way,

which way are you going?

We're headed up to Fremont to the kids' grandma's,

she took a bad fall and my wife's up there

taking care of here

so we're bringing Christmas to them this year.

You know, I know a shortcut,

I can probably knock 75 miles off the trip

if you're interested.

We're interested.

You're on 24.

Keep going on 24 all the way down.

Now when you get into horse country

you'll see County Road E.

E?

Like Edward.

E for Emma.

E for enough, guys.

Okay, when you get to that road

you'll see another, smaller road.

You turn on that one.

It's a smaller road, it's an old mining road,

there won't be much traffic on that.

It'll be a straight shot right up over the hills.

That's great, I appreciate it, thank you.

You know, that's some interesting young 'uns

you got there.

But you might oughtta get 'em out into the real world

a little more often.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Ah!

Emma, what is it?

My phone just went out!

This is awful!

Maybe we just hit a bad cell spot.

What am I going to do now?

This trip is so awful.

Well, looks like you'll just have to suck it up.

You know what they say.

When the going gets tough...

You know what I mean.

No, I don't.

Um, when life gives you lemons...

Can't you just finish a sentence?

What I'm trying to say is...

Oh, no, no, no it can't be!

Dad, we have to go back.

Now what?

Oh, no, it can't be.

Dad, we have to go back!

Looks like Edward has some lemons.

My cell phone's out now.

Now it's serious!

This is an opportunity for us.

We can have a family chat.

Chat room chat?

LOL.

What?

Nevermind.

I know, we'll sing some carols, all right?

I'll start one.

No, no Christmas!

We're not even home so it's not Christmas anyways.

I don't even like Christmas anymore.

I have an idea.

We can open presents.

Open now, open now!

No, we are taking Christmas to your mom

and it's gonna get there in one piece.

And so are we.

Now, come on, help me find this shortcut, will ya?

Without GPS?

I can't tell, is this it coming up?

He said left, right?

No, he said right.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention.

I have GPS.

Had GPS.

I think this is right.

Guys, look for some signs, will ya, please?

Okay, guys, I think I'm gonna have to

take a look around.

Dad, don't do that.

Maybe she's right.

I mean, we should probably wait until someone comes

or at least until it's light out.

[coyote howls]

Okay, maybe you're right.

Pull those blankets out of the back.

We'll just huddle up here until morning, okay?

I-- it'll be like camping.

I hate camping.

It's an adventure.

I hate adventures.

Just get the blankets.

[horse snorts]

Emma, poke your brother,

get him to quit snoring, please.

Dad, it's not even me snoring.

Maybe it's Emma.

I'm not snoring.

Dad, maybe you woke up yourself by snoring.

Might wanna take a look.

Ah!

Maybe he's hungry.

Let's see what we have here.

Should I just feed him my phone?

Well, well, what is this?

What do we have here?

Somebody dropped off some presents for us, Buster.

No, wait, there's people in here.

Hey, are you folks, okay?

We're all a little cold and a little tired, I guess,

but basically we're all intact.

Nice horse.

She's a beaut.

-I'm Matt Hanlon. -Hi.

This is my son, Edward, and my daughter, Emma.

I'm Bonnie Kate and this is my place,

the Blue Skies Ranch.

Yeah, more like the Middle of Nowhere Ranch.

I thought I heard a noise on the road last night,

but I didn't see any lights

so I just figured it was Tank and Bones nosing around.

Tank and Bones?

A couple of good for nothing dropouts

who think they're horse rustlers.

Horse wrestlers?

Horse rustlers.

They still have those?

As long as there's been horses

there's been horse thieves.

Do you have horses?

I'm a veterinarian so I take care of horses

at all the ranches somewhere else.

Also rescue horses.

We're headed to the kids' grandma's house for Christmas.

Well, that's tomorrow.

You're not any closer.

So let's get you warmed up, go grab your bags

and I suggest you lock your car

'cause Tank and Bones may be around.

Although I don't think they're smart enough

to steal anything that doesn't have four legs.

Wait.

We have to walk?

Oh, he's just your special little handful, isn't he?

I wanna see the horses.

In a little while, honey.

What are they saying?

Do these look like loudspeakers to you?

I can't read lips, I don't know what they said.

Oh, yeah, right.

Does this change our plan, do you think?

Well, it could make things a little tougher,

or it could make things a little easier.

Well now I remember why we put you in charge.

Give me those.

Let me take a look.

Say.

They got Christmas gear in the back of that car.

A locked car.

With windows I can break.

What kind of stuff do you think they might have?

There's two kids down there.

Stuffed animals, a Harry Potter book,

a bad tie for their old man?

Look, we have our standards.

We ain't stealing Christmas gifts.

You're right.

We have our standards.

We'll stick to rustling horses.

Now, let's head back to camp and make our plan.

I'm dying over here.

You did very well for yourself, Edward.

What does that mean?

Well, it's been at least ten minutes

since you've complained about something.

Well, yeah, I was out of breath.

You kids can go on in the ranch house

and get warm if you want to.

Can I use your internet?

Well, sure, if you can find it.

What about television?

Can we watch your television?

Don't have one of those, either.

How about electricity?

Running water, maybe?

Anything from the twentieth century?

Well, go in and find out.

We have a bathroom in the back, outside.

Oh, no, Dad.

What did you do to us?

Look, kids, just be grateful we're close to anywhere

and Bonnie Kate's being such a nice host.

We couldn't possibly impose on your home.

Oh, this isn't my home.

This is just a fancy guest house.

No, I live in the little mobile mansion over there.

Right there.

I wanna see some horses.

In a little while, honey.

Now, first your dad and I are gonna go down to that trailer

and see what we can figure out about your car.

So go on, do what you need to do.

Come on down in a few minutes.

So, you, you live over there?

Well, I've lived on the ranch for 35 years.

But I've lived in that mobile home

for, let's see, 18 years.

Can't believe it's been 18 years.

But, um...

I don't get it.

Well, that story's better after coffee.

Would you like some coffee, Matt?

Sure, why not?

Come on.

Thanks.

Bones?

Why didn't we ever learn how to build a campfire?

'Cause we're outlaws, we're horse rustlers.

People can smell a campfire a mile away.

That's how Sundance gang got caught.

I never heard that.

Oh, yeah.

The smell of campfire gives your position away.

Sometimes campfire, sometimes slow horses,

sometimes just bad planning.

So what's our plan gonna be?

Here's what I'm thinking.

That family down there.

They're gonna help us out.

They don't even know us.

Sometimes I think when they were handing you a brain,

you thought they said, "pain" and you told 'em,

"Oh, I don't want any of that."

They're gonna help us out without even knowing it.

We just gotta make sure they stay here overnight.

How we gonna do that?

The answer is parked right down there.

The car?

We're gonna mess with their car

so they can't leave.

Sh.

Here's what I'm thinking.

So how'd you end up out here, Bonnie Kate?

Well, it was very intentional for the most part.

Ben and I wanted to have a big adventure out west.

Ben?

Ben's my husband.

Was my husband.

He passed on 18 years ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

We came out here to be veterinarians.

We loved animals and we loved the outdoors

so what could be more perfect?

So we bought this ramshackle place here

and we started fixing it up.

We gave free care to the folks that live around here

and took care of dogs and cows

and the occasional pig.

But it was the horses that we truly loved.

You ever have a horse or been around horses?

Oh.

Well, they are truly the most magnificent

of all of God's creatures.

They're big, strong, magnificent animals

with big hearts.

Between you and me I'm surprised they let us hang around them.

I guess they're more patient then we are.

So not long after we came here

Ben and I found this herd of wild horses up in the hills

and we started taking care of them.

You know, we left 'em alone at first

until they could get used to us,

but finally they became like our family.

Ben and I promised each other that we would

always take care of them as long as we were alive.

And we have.

At last I have, now, by myself

those 18 years I was talking about.

What about this trailer?

Oh.

Ben and I kinda had the wanderlust.

So we bought this old trailer here

with the intention of seeing places

when we finally retired.

We'd stay here and take care of horses

and then go see what other places in the world there were

that we might care about.

But then Ben died.

And I found myself hanging out in the trailer.

I guess pretending that Ben and I were out there

on the road together.

You wanna go get the kids and I'll show you around the place?

Actually I'd like to see if I can get the car started.

Is there a service station or a mechanic

or somebody I can call?

Of course there is.

But remember, I told you, I don't have television,

I don't have internet.

No phone?

Uhhuh.

No car?

Uhhuh, sorry.

But you know, even if I did

they wouldn't come all the way out here on Christmas Eve.

I gotta get out of here, I got Christmas plans.

I'm sorry, I don't mean that to sound the way it did.

Oh, that's okay, I understand.

Well, I could ride into town later

and make a call to your wife and see if she can,

we can work out something.

I gotta slow down.

You seem like a really busy man.

I guess so,

I didn't even realize until this road trip.

You know, I just don't understand my kids,

especially Edward.

I mean, he is completely wired into the world,

but he just doesn't seem to connect to it.

Does that make any sense?

Yeah, I've known people like that.

But, you know, maybe a day or two out here

and he'll see things in a different light.

Oh, here come the kids.

Can we go now?

Can we just get out of here yet?

Not until I see some horses.

Well, okay, let's go see some horses,

what do you say?

See anything?

Nope.

I think the coast is clear.

Then why are we still whispering?

All right, let's do what we came here to do.

What was that, again?

Make sure this car won't run

so those folks'll be here tonight

to distract Bonnie Kate.

And we don't want Bonnie Kate having a car around

that she can chase us down in later.

I still think we oughta just grab some Christmas gifts

and go.

We already talked about that,

we ain't stealing someone's Christmas.

Now, pop the hood.

That oughtta hold 'em up for a while.

You forgetting something?

The hood, close the hood.

Please?

All right, Tank, that's better.

So that's the barn.

Bonnie Kate, tells us bout the rustlers.

I didn't think that kind of thing went on anymore.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Most of the wild horses are protected by law

in our herd management areas.

But when times get tough poachers take chances

and they grab a horse or two.

Where do they take 'em?

Well, they usually end up in places where nobody asks

and nobody cares where they came from.

-What? -Yeah.

Means they don't survive.

What about those two characters you mentioned?

Hank and Jones?

Tank and Bones.

Well, they're what I like to call

fancy hat cowboys.

Their hat's the only thing that's cowboy about them.

You know, they can't cut a horse out of a wild herd

because they can't get close enough to them.

So they hit the ranches around here

and take horses that are stabled.

They sound dangerous.

Nah, not really.

No, I don't think either one of 'em

could pour water out of a boot

with the instructions on the heel.

Sorry, that's really funny.

Not dangerous.

But you do have to be alert, you know?

I take care of a lot of sick horses all the time

and that makes us a pretty easy target

for guys like that.

Why is Maria your favorite horse?

Well, for one thing, she's my oldest.

She's been, let's see, she was born 18 years ago,

about the time that Ben passed on.

And she's about to have a foal.

A what?

A foal, a baby horse.

Eighteen sounds pretty old.

Well, it's a little late in the game for most horses.

But, yeah, it's even risky for her, actually.

And I worry a lot, but uh,

I'm a vet and I'm here most of the time

so she'll be all right.

I gotta tell ya, though,

I couldn't bear it if something happened to Maria.

But she's a tough one, just like me.

Well, listen, thank you for the tour.

I'd really like to try to get up

and see if I can start that car.

Edward, you wanna come with me?

Hm, let me think.

Stand around in a stinking barn

with absolutely nothing to do,

or walk through a mile of the wilderness?

So many great options.

What are we waiting for?

Emma?

I wanna stay here.

She'll be fine.

I'll keep an eye on her.

So what do you think of this place, huh?

Do you even have to ask me that?

I mean, there's nothing to do, there's nobody out here,

it's in the middle of nowhere,

there's no internet, no TV.

Edward, stop right there.

Just listen.

Okay, I don't hear anything.

That's right.

Don't get to hear that anymore where we live,

there's always the sound of a car or a TV set,

a siren.

You mean, the sound of civilization?

I don't know, Dad, the quiet's just too creepy.

Here they come.

Man, are they gonna be surprised

when their car doesn't start.

No kidding.

Wait a minute.

Why are they gonna be surprised?

Their car didn't start last night.

That's why they're stuck here.

Well, that was, you know, that was last night.

And uh, this is today.

You're the smart one here?

Sometimes I wonder about us.

Really?

I can drive the car?

You can start the car.

Maybe you'll have better luck than me.

No.

It's the end of my life as I knew it.

Okay.

Everything is in place.

All we have to do is wait.

Yeah, everything's in place.

All we have to do is wait.

Wait for what?

Nightfall.

Dad?

Dad.

Yes, Edward?

What are we gonna do about Christmas?

I thought you didn't care about Christmas.

Well, I mean, I, I don't, really,

but it just doesn't seem right to spend it here.

I know what you mean, but uh,

I think Bonnie Kate might not mind the company.

Isn't there some way to get out of here?

To get help?

To escape?

Make it sound like a prison.

No, not really.

At least prisoners get to watch TV.

Maybe she could help.

Mosey.

Merry Christmas, Bonnie Kate.

Annie and I wanted to bring you something.

Well, I am so glad you did.

So how is everybody?

Everyone's great, thanks.

How's Maria doing?

Oh, well, she's doing.

You know, she's, any day now.

So exciting.

I saw a car up on the road.

Do you know whose it is?

Yeah, it's some new friends of mine.

They um, they got lost

and then their car wouldn't start,

and so it looks like I'm gonna have some company for Christmas.

Oh, I'm glad.

I am, too.

For you, at least.

It'll be nice, yeah.

Look, I think you're gonna get to meet 'em.

Everybody, this is Mosey and Annie.

Who's who?

This is Annie.

She's beautiful.

Oh, thank you.

Say thank you, Annie.

And who are you?

I'm Emma, and I love horses.

I'm Emma's dad, Matt, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Edward.

That's me.

I mean, hi, I'm Edward.

Nice to meet you, Edward.

Mosey and Annie live a few ranches over.

I met them when they were just little fillies.

She likes to think she's taking care of me.

Which reminds me, the Garrets told me

they saw Tank and Bones at the truck

down the road a little.

So you might wanna watch out for them.

Oh, I think the four of us can take care of them.

Would you kids like some Christmas cookies?

Just the kids?

Well, we're all kids when it comes to Christmas cookies.

Say, Emma.

Annie and Mosey are pretty famous around here.

They do a lot of tricks and stunts together.

Someone told me they'd seen 'em on YouTube.

Really?

-That's a big deal? -Totally.

It's like millions of people can see you all the time.

That's how Justin Bieber got famous.

No idea, right?

Not a clue.

Okay, well, it's a really big deal.

Well, I'll take your word for it.

Mosey, do you have time to show the Hanlons

some of the stuff you and Annie can do?

Well, they can just watch me on YouTube.

Um, not really, we kinda can't.

Please, Mosey?

I'm just kidding.

May we use the field?

Sure, let's go.

That is so awesome!

Very impressive Mosey.

What did you think, Edward?

She was great!

The horse, I mean.

The horse was really great.

You two are just getting better and better together.

Thank you, everyone.

Gotta get home, though.

It's Christmas Eve and I have a lot left to do.

Say, you wouldn't happen to have a phone

at your place, would ya?

Everyone has a phone.

Except for Bonnie Kate, of course.

If I gave you a name and number could you call my wife for me?

Tell her our car broke down but we're okay

and we're trying to get back for Christmas,

could you do that?

I'd be happy to.

Bonnie Kate, do you have a piece of paper?

I think so, let me look.

Yeah.

So, you have a phone, huh?

Yeah.

I bet you have internet?

Of course.

Television?

You're having withdrawal pains, aren't you?

Kind of.

It's nice out here.

Not everyone gets to live with nature and animals

the way we do.

You should enjoy it while you can.

I never really looked at it like that, I guess.

Thanks so much.

Merry Christmas, everybody.

I have a secret.

What's that, Emma?

Someone here likes Mosey.

You're goofy.

Edward has a girlfriend, Edward has a girlfriend.

Emma, I'm warning you.

All right, Emma, that's enough.

Well, Bonnie Kate, it looks like

we're gonna be around, at least for the evening,

is there anything we can do to help you out around here?

Well, there are chores.

Well, all right, then.

Who wants to be a ranch hand?

This just keeps getting worse and worse.

Just look at those stars, Bones.

Man, aren't they beautiful?

Man, we have got it made out here,

living outside, rustling horses.

Yeah.

But Bones, we really haven't managed

to steal a horse, yet.

Picky, picky, picky.

Tonight's our night, buddy.

Yeah.

We got a plan this time.

Yes, we do.

That plan.

What is it again?

Well, we're gonna head down to the ranch,

create a distraction so everyone leaves,

and then we grab a horse.

Oh.

What kind of distraction?

I don't know.

Haven't planned that part out yet.

You know it's Christmas Eve, Bones.

Yeah, I kinda knew that.

You ever miss Christmas?

Miss Christmas?

Why would I miss Christmas?

I'm just saying.

With a tree and lights and everything.

We got trees, we got lights.

We probably even got a Christmas dinner out there

waiting for us somewhere if we had a gun.

And if we could shoot straight.

There you go ruining Christmas dinner for us.

Don't worry.

All this is gonna pay off when we sneak down

to Bonnie Kate's tonight.

We're gonna strike it rich.

Oh, yes.

Is everybody okay?

That was great, Bonnie Kate, thank you so much for dinner

and everything today.

How do you usually spend Christmas?

About like this.

Sometimes I even forget it's Christmas.

But you put your lights up?

Oh, those.

I'll tell ya a little secret.

I leave those lights up all year long

just to brighten up the place.

So tonight's just about like any other night.

So it's Christmas all the time.

Well, I guess that's one way to look at it, I suppose.

But this is one I surely won't forget.

That makes two of us.

I have an idea.

We could sing Christmas carols.

I bet you never do that, Miss Bonnie.

Well, I'm a little rusty on the Christmas carols.

I don't like to sing out loud.

I have a voice that would start a stampede.

Well, if we were gonna sing Christmas carols around here,

and I'm not going to,

but it would have to be "Silent Night".

♪ Silent night

Did you hear that?

Well, I'm not deaf, so, yeah, I heard it.

♪ All is calm

♪ Silent night

♪ All is bright

What are you doing?

I like that tune.

Remember the list of reasons bad guys mess up?

Let's see.

Campfire smoke, slow horses,

bad planning?

And partners who start singing out loud

while they're trying to sneak up on folks.

I don't remember that one.

Well, remember it!

And be quiet.

[humming]

Uhhuh.

Well, I think I better turn in.

You know, it's been a long time since I had

anybody around for Christmas.

Didn't realize how much I missed it.

Thank you, Matt, Emma.

You, too, Edward.

This has been really nice.

Goodnight, Bonnie Kate.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Well, guys, we should probably hit the hay, too.

Hit the hay?

Really, Dad?

You're starting to sound like one of them.

One of whom?

One of these middle of nowhere people.

Okay, we're here.

Now what's that big plan of yours?

We're gonna distract everyone out there.

You're gonna stand here, grab a horse,

and head out the back.

I'm gonna circle around and meet you at camp.

Then we'll get the trailer from the hiding place

and get outta here before anyone knows what happened,

especially Bonnie Kate.

Okay.

Which horse should I grab?

Oh, I don't know, I guess the biggest one.

All right.

But how do you plan to distract them?

How do I plan to distract them?

How do I plan to distract them?

I'm gonna kidnap the little girl.

What?

Not kidnap, really.

I'm gonna grab her,

take her a little bit out into the woods,

then let her go.

And when she starts screaming

everyone will go looking for her.

Genius, huh?

Genius, yeah.

And some other words I can think of.

Dumb, goofy, irresponsible, hazardous.

Look who's got a big, new vocabulary.

Hazardous?

How are you going to grab her?

I haven't...

entirely thought about that part yet.

Let's just wait for all them to go to sleep

and then we'll sneak one of these horses

out of the barn.

Bonnie Kate can hear a piece of straw

fall off a bale of hay.

She'll be out here with a shotgun in two seconds.

And she'll use it.

No, we need a distraction.

All right, kids, let's go to bed.

Dad, can I go say goodnight to Maria?

It's getting awfully late, honey.

Please?

All right, just don't take too long.

Thanks, Dad, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, honey.

You, too, Edward.

Whatever.

I got one.

I go up to the door and I'm like, "Fire!"

and they come running out and I'm like,

"Head for the woods!" and then I grab her.

You know?

Got another one.

I go outside the house and I just start

making ghost noises.

I'm just like,

"Booonie, Booonie!"

And then they get all scared, they run out and I just--

And you grab her?

Yeah.

Or we just wait right here.

What are you talking about?

Sh.

Maybe you are a genius.

She's coming to us.

Get the blanket.

Hey, Maria.

How are you?

I got a carrot for you.

You're not hungry?

Okay.

She bit me!

She bit me, too.

What do I do?

Stick to the plan, get the horse.

I'm going to the woods.

You're a handful for a little one.

Come here, you.

Now be quiet till Bones gives us the signal.

Ah!

No, no, no, not yet, you're gonna ruin everything.

You know, I didn't really wanna do this.

I thought we should just get the Christmas presents

and run for it.

Okay um,

this is far enough.

All right.

I want you to count to ten and start screaming again.

-No. -No?

You can't tell me no, I'm your kidnapper.

-You are? -Yes.

But I've changed my mind and now I'm letting you go.

Right here?

Right here.

Just scream, everything will be fine.

No.

Are you gonna scream or do I have to make you?

No.

No wonder your dad looks so old.

Look, I'm leaving and I'm headed that way.

Bonnie Kate's trailer is that way.

Okay?

Nice meeting you, kid.

I'm cold!

I'm cold, too.

Put the blanket on.

I'm scared.

Look, you'll be fine.

Could you just scream?

Okay.

Aaahhh!

Remind me to never kidnap you again.

Aaahh, aaahhh, aaahh!

Aaahhh!

[Emma screaming]

What's that?

Emma?

Emma?

Emma!

Bonnie, Emma's gone.

I told her she could go down and say goodnight to Maria

and now she's gone.

Well, it sounds like it's coming from over there.

No, no, no, no.

Bonnie, we gotta find her, I can't lose Emma.

She can't be far.

We'll find her.

I'm gonna go get some flashlights.

Emma!

Emma!

Dad, what's going on?

It's your sister, she's gone.

Go back inside, we'll find her.

No, I'm going with you.

All right, but hang close.

Emma!

Emma!

Wow.

That plan worked.

His plans never worked before.

Come on, let's go.

Dad!

Emma!

Dad!

Emma!

Here I am.

Are you all right, darling?

Yes, Ma'am.

Matt, over here!

Oh, jeez.

Oh, God, Emma.

Oh, sweetie, you scared me half to death.

I was afraid I wasn't gonna see you again.

You're funny, Dad.

We haven't opened presents yet.

What are you doing here?

Well, I thought I'd help find you

'cause that's what brothers do.

I think.

What happened, honey?

I went to the barn to say goodnight to Maria,

then the next thing I knew someone grabbed me

and was carrying me through the woods.

Then he put me down and took the blanket off.

Then...

Then what?

Then he told me to scream.

He told you to scream?

Yeah, like he wanted someone to hear me.

Then he went off running.

Tell me more about this guy.

I didn't see him really well.

It was really dark and I was under the blanket mostly.

So he let you go and he tells you to scream.

Strange.

Yeah, I thought so, too.

So first I didn't, scream, that is.

Then I did.

Now you're here.

Are there any more of Mosey's cookies left?

I guess that means she's okay.

I think we need to get back.

You know, something just doesn't feel right about this.

Come on.

Is everything okay?

I guess so.

She's a little cold and scared, that's all.

Well, I don't understand what that was all about.

Maybe she just made the whole thing up.

She wandered off into the woods and got lost

and she was afraid to tell me.

Well, maybe.

But uh, if that's what she did

then why did she get a blanket from the stable

to take with her?

The stable.

Oh, no!

Bonnie?

What is it?

Bonnie?

Bonnie, what is it?

It's those idiots, Tank and Bones.

I should have known.

They just used Emma to get us out of here for a while.

They just wanted to take one of my horses.

Which one?

Maria.

They took Maria.

I can't lose Maria.

I mean, she was our first.

She's gonna have a foal.

She knew Ben.

She was my last living connection to Ben.

I can't lose her.

We're not gonna lose her.

We won't lose her.

Come on, let's go, let's go find her.

Okay, let's go.

What'd you think of that, partner?

Are we slick or what?

I gotta hand it to you, buddy.

I had my doubts back there in the barn,

but you really knew what you were doing.

Butch "Bones" Cassidy, that's me.

Now let's get going, Sundance.

Sundance.

I like that.

All right!

All right, you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine, we're gonna find her.

-I'm going with you. -No.

I need you to stay here and keep an eye on your sister.

But what if those guys come back?

They're not gonna come back, Edward.

They weren't after her,

they just wanted to steal one of my horses.

You'll be fine.

Just stay here with your sister.

Can I count on you to do that?

Yes, Sir.

Okay.

Okay, Matt.

They probably have a trailer stashed somewhere

and it would have to be somewhere near the road.

And the fastest way to get there

is over there in that direction.

All right, but then I'll head that way.

Okay.

But don't do anything stupid if you find them.

You know, they can't get very far with Maria.

So if you find the trailer

just take a license plate number, anything.

You know, if it really is Tank and Bones

they're not smart enough to get away.

All right.

Hey, don't worry.

We'll find her, I promise.

I know.

Is someone turning flashlights on and off?

Well, we got everything ready to go.

Let's saddle up, so to speak.

All right, I'm gonna go get the horse.

All right.

Tank.

Yeah?

Which horse did you get at Bonnie's?

Which horse?

I don't know.

The gray one, I guess.

It was dark.

You just told me to pick one.

No, you said "Get the biggest horse."

Well, the horse that you got is the biggest one for a reason.

She's about to have a baby horse.

How do you know that?

I'm the guy with the experience here,

I know when a horse is pregnant.

Oh.

We can't be having no baby horse.

We're not even really sure what we're gonna do

with the big one.

You don't understand.

This horse is about to have a colt or a filly soon.

Soon?

If any minute is soon, then yeah, soon.

I didn't sign up for that.

I can't watch that.

I'm the squeamish type.

All right, we gotta take this horse back to Bonnie's.

Let me get this straight.

We kidnap...

Okay, sorry, take a girl to let her go

so that we could steal a horse

so that we could just bring the horse back

and maybe get caught?

We're not gonna get caught.

They're probably still out in the woods

looking for it.

We'll just drop it off in the barn

and it'll be like nothing ever happened.

Bones, why couldn't we just get normal jobs?

No glamour.

Good point.

Let's go.

Bonnie.

It's me.

Did you find anything?

No, not yet.

I think I would have at least heard 'em,

it's so quiet out here.

Well, I hope they're taking good care of Maria.

I mean, she's an old horse to be having a baby.

I should be with her.

I let her down.

Ah, you didn't let her down.

You rescued her, you've taken good care of her.

Don't worry, we'll find her.

Listen, maybe we oughtta go back and regroup

and wait till daybreak.

Well, you can.

I mean, if you're worried about the kids I understand,

but I gotta keep looking.

I'll go with ya.

I just wanna say one thing, bones.

You're sorry you're an idiot?

No.

I actually think this was a good start.

So you're not sorry you're an idiot.

I'm just saying.

After doing this rustling thing for a year

we finally got ourselves a horse.

A horse that we're taking back.

Luck of the draw, that's all.

I guess that applies to partners, too.

[horse whinnies]

Emma, Emma, do you hear something?

No, it's not sleigh bells, is it?

Sh, no.

I thought I heard something down by the barn.

What are you doing?

I'm gonna go check it out.

And if you find something throw your cell phone at it?

No, it's charged, the light still works.

All right, I'm gonna go see if I can find anything.

You go in that house and stay there.

And if you find some sleigh bells tell me.

I will.

Hold it right there.

Bonnie, look at this.

Well, this looks like where they been hiding, all right.

This is good, right?

I mean, if they left all their stuff

that means they're coming back.

Yeah, but where's Maria?

Well, they're not gonna try to sell her on Christmas Day.

Can you find this place if we leave?

Yeah, I left markings on the trail.

All right, let's go back to the house

and I'll just ride out as far as I need to

to get a cell signal and call for help.

You'll ride out?

Yeah, well I was kinda hoping you were gonna not let me.

Well, you're probably right.

I can't corral those guys without my shotgun anyway.

Come on, let's get back.

Are you guys Tank and Bones, the horse rustlers?

At your service.

Just be quiet.

So, who's who?

I'm Tank.

-I'm Bones. -Really?

Those are the best nicknames you guys could come up with?

Whatever, just bring Bonnie Kate's horse back

right now.

We already did.

She's right there in her stall

sitting all nice and cozy.

Okay, then wait here until the sheriff comes.

Sure, kid.

We'll just wait here until the sheriff comes.

Good, thank you.

Did you want us to throw some handcuffs on,

maybe tie each other up?

Could you do that?

No, we can't do that.

Look.

Why don't we just make a deal.

You let us leave and, you know,

we won't give you any more trouble.

No.

You stole Bonnie Kate's favorite horse.

Stole?

Agreed.

And returned.

We're even.

Yeah, it's actually more like we just took her

for a long walk.

Yeah, let's get out of here, Tank.

So you admit you took the horse.

Yeah, we took the horse, we took your sister, too.

So, you know.

You got 'em both back.

No harm done.

I mean, unless you're upset we returned your sister.

I guess we could re-steal her.

I know how annoying sisters can be.

Hey, what's that in your hand, kid?

That's not a flashlight.

Oh, this.

Yeah, this is my smartphone.

Listen.

Yeah, we took the horse, we took your sister, too.

Hey, that's illegal.

I had a cell phone for a while.

Could never get it to work out here.

Wait a minute, you don't have service.

You didn't call the sheriff

because you can't call the sheriff.

You're bluffing.

Okay.

I can't make a call.

But I can still make a video and I just did

of you two admitting that you took the horse

and my sister.

You got us, kid.

Too bad no one's ever gonna hear it, though.

On three, Tank.

One, two...

Edward.

What's going on?

I caught 'em Dad.

Caught 'em and locked 'em up right in the stable.

I even got their confession on my phone.

Whoa, whoa, slow down.

Locked up who?

The bad guys, the rustlers.

You mean Tank and Bones?

Yes, Ma'am.

Did they have Maria with 'em?

Yeah, they just brought her back for some reason.

Well, I've gotta get in there and check her out.

Wait here, Matt.

I don't know how you did it, but I'm proud of you.

What's going on?

Your brother just caught the bad guys.

You mean the wrestlers?

The rustlers.

The horse rustlers.

Did Maria come home?

Is she okay?

We're about to find out.

I'll handle this now.

Bonnie, is that you?

It's Bones.

How're you doing?

And Tank!

Oh, good.

I thought Laurel and Hardy

had locked themselves in my stable.

I've got my gun here, I will shoot.

Bones told me you would.

We won't cause you any trouble.

Okay.

All right, let's open the door.

Okay, you guys get out of there.

So this is the infamous Tank and Bones.

He's Bones, he's the perpetrator.

We didn't mean to take your horse.

Well, not that horse, anyway.

Yeah, we should have took a different horse.

Oh, if you two had half a brain

you'd be twice as smart as you are now.

But Bonnie, we brought back Maria.

Well, we actually kinda brought back two horses, Bonnie.

You what?

Well, show me the stall she's in, come on.

See, Bonnie, she's just fine and so is the little one.

What's going on?

I wanna see.

Wow.

Pretty much sums it up.

Merry Christmas, everybody.

Merry Christmas, honey.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Mother and child are doing just fine.

We best leave 'em alone.

Come on.

Well, I'm real happy for the newest addition

to your fine family, Bonnie.

Tank and I don't wanna take up any more of your time

so we'll just be on our way.

Nice chatting with you, Bonnie.

No, I don't think so.

I'm gonna lock you up in the shed

and we'll figure it out in the morning.

Oh, Bonnie, it's Christmas Day.

You're right, it is.

So I'll get you a couple of blankets.

Once you're in the shed.

Matt, why don't you take the kids and go to bed

and I'll see you in the morning.

Okay, come on, you two miscreants.

What is she calling us?

This was your idea.

It was a good plan, you picked the wrong horse.

Everybody up in there?

Good morning.

Good morning.

Morning.

Where's my dad?

oh, he went down to Mosey's to call your mom.

He'll be back in a little bit.

Okay.

So I've been talking to Tank and Bones this morning

and we had a very interesting conversation.

You wanna tell him?

Well, we've seen the error of our ways

and would like to help you folks out.

And maybe stay out of jail.

Despite his many flaws, Tank here,

is kind of an automotive genius.

We're very confident we can get your car up and running.

Very confident.

And why is that, boys?

Well, it's got a lot better shot at running

when I put this part here back in.

This part back here that...

We took out of your car yesterday so you couldn't leave.

So we were thinking that if we could get you

back on the road, that little incident last night,

maybe we could all forget?

We all wanna forget it.

Okay, okay.

But can I trust them with the keys, Bonnie Kate?

Oh, no, not both of them.

No, Bones'll stay here

and Tank will go see if he can get the car running.

We have the confession on your phone.

Tank knows the sheriff can find him.

Okay, well, that solves the whole kidnapping problem,

but what about the horse rustling?

Oh, I worked out a little arrangement with them.

Okay, well, I'll go get Emma up and get you the keys.

There you go.

Good as new.

And I tightened up the belts a little

and washed the windows.

Tank, I gotta ask, if you're such a good mechanic

why do you keep trying to steal horses?

You should think about another line of work.

Like stealing cars, maybe?

Nevermind.

You want us to help you load up?

No, it's all right, you guys have done enough.

Okay, go on, you two, you know what to do.

Are you sure you don't wanna stay for Christmas dinner?

Not this time, Bonnie Kate.

But I hope it's an open invitation.

You know it is, Matt.

You know, I stopped believing in miracles

when Ben passed away.

But this Christmas,

this Christmas just makes up for all those years.

You know, Maria's safe and the colt's healthy

and Emma's fine and Edward doesn't seem to mind

that he's left civilization for a day.

And none of that would have happened

if you hadn't made the wrong turn.

You know what, Bonnie Kate?

After the last 24 hours I consider it a right turn.

Where are the kids?

They wanted to go see the colt one more time.

Well, we better get going.

If we hurry and I don't get us lost again

we could still spend Christmas today

with your mom and grandma.

And open presents?

And open presents.

Well, not just yet.

You need to help me name the colt.

Really?

Yeah.

Anybody have any ideas?

What kind of name?

Well, a name that fits.

You know, there's no rules in naming a colt.

Just don't wanna use a name that's already used

like Trigger or Silver or Flicka.

I've got one.

Mosey, Junior.

Not bad.

We'd have to check with Mosey.

After all of this I'd call him Lucky.

Okay.

Edward, you're awful quiet.

I've got a name.

Well, I've got the name.

What is it?

We should name him Christmas.

I thought you didn't care about Christmas.

I mean, I don't, really, but I don't know.

It just feels right.

I-- I totally agree.

Christmas it is.

And the nice thing is we won't forget

when his birthday is.

All right, kids, say goodbye to Christmas.

Bye.

Bye, Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Christmas.

Well, I'm sure sorry to see y'all leave.

But I understand.

Can we come back and see Christmas again?

Any time, honey.

Give me a hug.

Well, Bonnie Kate, you have our address now.

I know you can't call us, but would you write to us

and send us a picture when you can?

Yeah.

Edward, you gonna come out and say goodbye to Bonnie Kate?

I'm sorry, I don't know what to say.

That's okay.

He's a colt, you know?

He's just finding his way.

But he's a good kid, Matt.

What's that?

Would you mind?

Of course I wouldn't mind.

We got you a present.

What?

We have a Christmas present for you?

Well, I never.

Open it up.

Oh, it's too pretty.

I don't wanna tear it.

Well, that's not for me.

That was for somebody else.

Well, may have been, but it's for you now.

There's Dad and me and Emma and that's Mom.

You'd have liked Mom.

Oh, I know I would.

Don't you want it?

Oh, Edward.

Yes, I really do.

We're your family now, Bonnie Kate.

Whether you like it or not you're stuck with us.

Maybe I'll even do some chores for you.

If you could work on getting a TV, that'd be nice.

I'll see what I can do for ya.

And you'll be happy to know that the chores are covered

for the next six months, anyway.

What do you mean?

Oh, you'll see.

Goodbye again.

Kids, hop in.

Hey, Bones, I think you missed a spot.

I think he's right, Bones.

Looks like you missed a spot over here.

Tank and Bones survived their six months of hard time

working for Bonnie Kate.

And true to her word she never turned them in

to the sheriff.

Matt and Emma and Edward all made it to Grandma's house

in time for Christmas.

Bonnie Kate is thinking, just thinking,

about getting internet for the kids when they come back.

Mosey and Annie went on to be featured in a movie.

And Christmas, well,

Christmas is just fine.

Because when you're a colt every day is like a holiday.
