00:00Previously on Heartland, what exactly are your intentions with my sister? She deserves a good person
00:05That's not me. I don't know is it I am teaching a creative writing class at the library. You should sign up
00:15I've seen some drought before but this feels different. I just met with the manager of a hospitality group
00:21They need us to provide bison, but we don't raise bison. Not yet, but we could I'm Brandon. Thank you. It's opt-out
00:29How is Nate? Is he coming up here anytime soon? He's moving a little slower than he used to still formidable though
00:37Looks like our ranches are tied together for a while, huh? It would seem so
00:59Okay, thank you for the ride
01:02At least I know you're nervous. I'm not nervous
01:04I I just can't imagine what there's left for me to deal with around Dan's estate the lawyer made it sound sound urgent
01:12How weird is that considering how much time has passed? I don't
01:20I'd be happy to come in with you if you'd like. No, no, you go do your appointment and I'll fill you in on everything after
01:29Okay, bye
01:39What job I am gonna be the official photographer for the team studying endangered wild horses in the American West amazing
01:48Throw in your head
01:49Most people have never even laid eyes on these horses and I am gonna be right there up close with unfettered access
01:57It's like a dream come true, but I have so much that I had to do
02:00I have to make sure that the gallery is taken care of and then I have to get way more film great
02:05What's the rush? How long do you go for a weekend? Well, I leave in a week
02:10For a month a month. I know it's fast and it's unexpected, but it's just a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
02:19I'll see you at dinner. Okay. I can't believe I got it. Congratulations
02:27You
02:46Hey
02:48Hey, nice to see ya
02:52How are things at the ranch better the water situations figured out
02:58It's actually why I'm here Lou wants you to sign the agreement for the shared well access
03:05Thanks
03:10It's that's not what it looks like yeah, just drop that by the ranch when you can
03:17Amy
03:25See you
03:27You
03:46And at the break of day second
03:57You
04:15Amy I am so sorry
04:16I meant to talk to you before Rick came over but things just happened quickly meant to talk to me about what it's having trouble
04:22With maestro here and I kind of told him you would help
04:25promised Amy would help
04:27Yeah, well, that's
04:29Accurate. I didn't even know you had a horse. Oh, he's not mine
04:33Maestro supposed to play in a charity polo match that I organized but he's not all he was promised to be
04:41Lot of ranchers hurting right now
04:44Hate to spill the tea, but I've been hearing whispers about heartland beef seems they've been bleeding so much money since
04:52Garland dumped them where it is. They are quietly shopping the ranch
04:59Crying out loud
05:01Jack didn't see you come in. What? Where are you going? Don't you want a shaver?
05:05Oh, there's talk about bleeding. I'm not in the mood. Oh, come on, Jack
05:10I was just spreading rumors and hearsay
05:15As much as you hate to do that, right Leo
05:22I
05:38Don't play polo but maestro seems fast and agile. Yeah. Well
05:44It's
05:47Okay, he's afraid of the mallet that's the first problem. Yes. He also doesn't like other horses charging at him
05:54Well, those aren't great qualities for a polo horse. Yeah, I know
05:58Can't you just use a different horse? He's not just playing in the match
06:00He's a gift for a distinguished visiting dignitary who may or may not have ties to royal family
06:05What Rick you didn't tell me that part the town can't afford to gift an expensive polo horse
06:10But maestro is the same lineage as the dignitaries favorite horse who just passed away
06:15He's the perfect gift. Yeah, except that he hates polo, but you can help him, right? Why are you being so persistent on this?
06:22Heartland beef is sponsoring the charity event and catering the post-match dinner ticket sales were already a little sluggish
06:28The last thing I need is for maestro not to perform. Well, the whole event could end up being a disaster
06:33It's just not the kind of publicity we need right now, Amy
06:36Okay, I will try but no promises, of course, thank you so much
06:49No, there's a face I don't like to see everything, okay
06:54Loose lips Leo was at it again. Oh
06:59He certainly earns his nickname, doesn't he?
07:02Apparently we're going out of business and selling the ranch. Where did he get that? Oh, you didn't get it from anywhere
07:08It's just a gossip. Let's not dwell on it. I'd rather I'd rather know how you are
07:15What happened at the lawyer the strangest news? So
07:19Turns out Dan bought burial plots when we were married that got missed in the divorce
07:24so
07:26Turns out Dan bought burial plots when we were married that got missed in the divorce. So I still own mine
07:34Well, that's quite the discovery. What are you gonna do with it? I sell it
07:38Unless I want to be buried next to Dan, which obviously I do not
07:41You know, I should tell ballots for sale. I'm sure she'd jump at the chance to snuggle up next to Dan
07:50Well, I guess that's settled yeah, I guess it is
07:53I'm
07:57Sort of glad that happened
07:59Why?
08:00Well, we haven't talked about our own plans for after we you know, kick the bucket
08:07But we probably should discuss it. Yeah. Yeah, you're right
08:12But I'd really rather have a big glass of wine in my hand when we did that sounds like a good idea
08:17a
08:22Toast to my beautiful talented wife and her new gig
08:27Cheers, I can't wait to see all the images when you get back. You're gonna have a whole new exhibit for the gallery
08:32It is so rare to get this opportunity. Honestly, I can't believe it's happening
08:37And I'm just glad that you're not leaving too early or you would miss meeting the polo playing prince at the charity match
08:43I want to meet a prince Rick never said there was a prince
08:46I know but maybe it's not a prince, but it could be Duke or if I count what's if I count?
08:52I don't know actually, but it's something royal
08:57Hey Jess, I was wondering if maybe you had time to give me a hand I
09:01Could use someone with your polo playing experience to help me with maestro. Yeah, of course. I'm free tomorrow morning
09:07That would be great. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. This match is very high-profile and maestro needs to be in top form
09:15Heartland is the exclusive sponsor. Hmm. Mm-hmm. The publicity is going to go a long way to building our brand back up
09:21And then who knows maybe we can revisit the basin idea. Whoo
09:27What the water issue is solved things are looking up. Maybe you should tell them what you heard in town today
09:33No, it's no big deal. Just
09:36Gossip at the barbershop stuff about Heartland beef being in trouble
09:41It was ridiculous people saying they're putting the ranch up for sale
09:46What?
09:47Jack that's a huge deal. Things can't be that bad. Can they no, of course not honey, but dad's right
09:53I mean Rick mentioned the ticket sales are sluggish. What if it's because of these rumors exactly?
09:59That's why we need to stand up for ourselves. No, we take the high road and ignore it
10:05Eventually, they'll all get tired of talking about us and move on to something else Jack
10:12Rumors are like fires. You ignore them long enough. They've run out of control
10:23I think you might have bought enough books to start your own library though. Maybe last me the week
10:30Okay
10:31Thanks for coming. I know it's not really your thing. Oh
10:34No, they were there are some cool books in there
10:37So what's up this weekend dirt biking?
10:40Definitely. Oh
10:42And there's also this cool monster truck rally that I've always wanted to go to
10:48It's so cool sometimes a guy he'll ride his truck up on one wheel and then he'll just do a freaking backflip it's awesome
10:55but um, I
10:57Guess it's not really your thing. Is it? No. No, it sounds cool or
11:02Different anyways, when is it?
11:05Sunday Sunday Sunday, we'll sell you the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge
11:14Would you want to go
11:16If you want to we could grab some food at Maggie's before sure sounds fun as long as you keep doing your announcer voice
11:24Okay
11:26Get ready for Hudson's event of the year because the big rigs are coming to town
11:35I can't believe Jack last night. You know, I I can't just sit around here
11:40While these rumors about us run rampant
11:45Jess what is that?
11:50It's a letter from my dad I
11:53Haven't talked to him in decades and now all of a sudden out of the blue. He sends me a letter
11:58I don't even know how he found me
12:01What do you say?
12:04Health isn't good. He's getting on in years and
12:08He wants me to come and visit him in New Hampshire. I guess he wants to see me before
12:15Hmm I
12:17Get it I can go with you
12:22Well, I don't know if I'm going
12:27Well, I know things weren't good between the two of you
12:30I haven't talked to him in 30 years. And now what I'm just supposed to drop everything
12:37Give up my dream job to be there for someone who has never been there for me
12:42No
12:46No, I'm not going
12:51I gotta get out and help
13:01You
13:14Well, that looks great
13:15How does he feel? Well, it seems like it's got a lot of potential you want to try the equipment?
13:19Yeah, I was just thinking the same
13:22I've done some desensitizing
13:24He definitely feels more comfortable, but go slow. I want to make sure he's good with the mallet
13:31Jess you okay? Oh, yeah. I'm sorry
13:58You okay
14:00Guess he wasn't ready was he?
14:04I'm sorry, Amy. I really wanted to help I just
14:09I've got a lot going on my mind with this new job, and I just I
14:14Don't know maybe now. It's not the right time. No, it's it's okay. I appreciate you're trying
14:19Yeah, what can I do for you today, uh, just a trim, you know me go around the hat or through it. Oh,
14:29Need a little intel. Oh
14:32Yeah, what do you need to know? Where'd you hear those heartland rumors? Oh
14:37You know Tim how it goes here and there there and there
14:41You know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know
14:46Tim how it goes here and there there and here cut the BS, you know, none of it's true
14:52Jack and never sell his ranch even after that Garland fiasco
14:56Fiasco, we're happy to be rid of those guys. They're not a family-run grocery store anymore
15:02They're they're a faceless corporation and that's not our brand
15:05Good for you. Don't go down without a fight. We're not going down
15:09No, of course not and I never believed any of that stuff about your product. What about our product?
15:16Well, you're stupid rumors. You shouldn't pay any attention to that
15:19Garland dumped you because you were having quality issues what?
15:23That's what I said. What ridiculous?
15:26Who said that?
15:27What's the matter? It's all lies, right?
15:35Maestro
15:42It's okay
15:45Alright
15:49Brought the signed agreement back. I think Lou's in the house
15:57What's the what's the story with this guy his name is maestro
16:01He's supposed to compete in a polo match in a few days, and he's afraid of a mallet and horses coming at him
16:07I could help you out
16:09if you want
16:11Maybe an easy trail ride with Montana. See if they get along
16:16Yeah, okay just as long as you keep your distance for maestro's sake yeah, yeah
16:25Whatever he needs
16:33What quality issues where are these rumors even coming from why did you go there?
16:39You're just pouring fuel on the fire. I had to do something. Well, it didn't change anything
16:44Did it at least I tried?
16:48I'm with dad. We have to take action. No, I'm gonna make a few phone calls. I have a plan
17:00Hey, hey
17:02Hey
17:10It's all this it's a little trip down memory lane
17:18My dad bought me that horse taught me how to play polo on her
17:23You've never really told me much about your dad
17:26Except that he left your mom when you were a teenager
17:29Yeah, you left her for his secretary
17:32Oh, so cliche, right?
17:35Started a new family with her a whole new life
17:39her visits for a while and then once I went off to college he
17:44Didn't make any effort to be a part of my life
17:49And then when I got cancer he sent me some flowers with a note that said get well soon I
17:57Got a more sincere message in the note that my doorman sent
18:02I don't know. I just
18:05Working with Amy and maestro. It's just brought back all these memories and I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't ignore the letter
18:11But to give up my dream job
18:15You don't think I'm being really selfish no, why would I think that
18:19Because you have this really great relationship with your kids and I got a second chance with my kids. I had no expectations
18:27If they didn't want me in their life, I would have understood
18:33Well, that's the thing
18:35see, I
18:37Don't think my dad wants to be a part of my life. It's too late for that. I
18:43Think he just wants to be forgiven. I
18:46Think he just wants to be absolved of his guilt at being such an abysmal father. I
18:55Don't think I'm ready to do that
19:02I
19:12Might be good to get closer at some point
19:16Yeah
19:18Maestro's actually being pretty good. I think he's more relaxed outside of the arena
19:25Why don't you try bringing Montana towards us
19:32Just go slow
19:38All right, hey, hey, hey, you're all right
19:43It's just us and a big open space. Okay
20:02Oh
20:11So so
20:14We have wine
20:16But yes, so we do
20:18Would this be a good time to have our talk?
20:22Right the death talk
20:25Yes, that talk. I have to admit. I don't know how to start it. Well me neither
20:32Why is this so hard to talk about
20:35Maybe because it's a bummer. Yeah, it is a bummer
20:40but I think
20:43You know planning for it and knowing what we both want will make it easier when the time comes
20:50I'll start I
20:53Would like to be buried in the family cemetery here at Heartland
20:59Next to my parents and grandparents and my daughter
21:06Mm-hmm. I
21:07Assumed as much and there's a beautiful spot for you there, too. If that's what you'd like. Thank you
21:13I guess that leaves me with three options
21:18Well, there's the plot next to Dan which I'm about to sell that's one down and then there is the Stillman family
21:25mausoleum, hmm
21:28And now Heartland, hmm, there should be a TV show burial plot hunters. I
21:37Thought I was ready to talk about this and clearly I am NOT
21:42You've given it a lot of thought and if it's all right, I'd like to do the same
21:52Thanks for your help anytime
21:57Listen
21:59My place the other day
22:03Look I'm sorry. I didn't tell you more
22:06But I also don't think you being upset with me is entirely fair
22:13Why is that?
22:15That seems to me you've been wanting to put some extra distance between you and me lately or am I wrong about that?
22:21No, you're not
22:23It's because of what your family thinks of me
22:27No, I mean that doesn't make it easy but a
22:33While ago there was this guy named Finn and he was the first person that I felt anything for since time
22:42But he kept a lot of secrets and it didn't end well and I don't want to go through that again
22:49There's nothing between the woman you saw in me, so why can't you just tell me who she is
22:54It's not that simple Amy
22:57That's not an answer
23:03I don't want to push you to be someone who you're not so
23:08Maybe we should just stay as we were
23:11friendly neighbors
23:27You
23:34Okay, yeah
23:37Yeah, thanks for trying
23:40Okay, bye
23:41What was that all about? I?
23:44Asked Rick to go into the barbershop and talk up our sponsorship of the charity match and
23:51and
23:52Leo saw right through it
23:55You know, I should just do this myself
23:57There's no reason I can't go over there and give them a piece of my mind
24:00It didn't work for Tim what makes you think it's gonna be any different for you
24:04I don't know, but I have to do something
24:08Our reputation is being dragged through the mud. Doesn't that make you angry?
24:11Of course it does but what bothers me most is heartland used to be respected and now it's just fodder for town gossip
24:19So what do we do? I don't know
24:21Just taking the high road obviously isn't working denying the rumors isn't working just
24:29Give me some time to figure it out before you go barging into that barbershop guns a-blazing. Okay, okay
24:36I'll leave it be
24:38for now
24:40a
24:48Job maestro now, let's see how you do when it's more than one horse
25:01Good boy maestro
25:04Good boy
25:06Now we just have dad some speed
25:09Looks like you're making progress
25:12Didn't think I'd see you back so soon
25:15I've been thinking about our conversation yesterday. I felt like I need to put my cards on the table, too
25:21What do you say you you come over to my place tomorrow? Nathan? Why can't you just put your cards on the table right now?
25:29Tomorrow's better trust me trust you. I'm trying I really am
25:36I promise I'll clear things up
25:43Thank you
25:48Nothing in this story made me feel like Annabelle would dump the fiance. She's been in love with for years
25:53Okay, that seems to be the consensus
25:56Does anyone feel differently? I actually really liked it
26:00Sometimes when you're scared you do the opposite of what you'd normally do and it shows an interesting side to the character
26:07Well, I didn't buy it
26:10We're all capable of more than we realize and Annabelle feels more deeply than anyone else around her
26:15So her fear is no different. That's why she acts in this perfectly surprising way. I
26:20like that
26:22very nice
26:24Well, I guess that's all we have time for great class everyone really nice
26:31See ya
26:36Hey, thanks for sharing
26:38Appreciate how open you are. It's not an easy thing to do, especially when disagreeing with others
26:44It's no big deal. Just saying what I felt. I really love that. I can talk about writing like this here
26:50I don't get to do it anywhere else. You know, we could really use some of that
26:54Katie honesty in our post class discussions you feel like joining us
26:57Sure, yeah, I'd love to yeah amazing. Okay, great. I'll catch up sure
27:27You
27:45Good boy maestro
27:47Proud of how far you've come. I think you can conquer your fear of the mallet, too. I
27:53Might have an idea to help with that
27:55I'm all ears
27:59But first I owe you an apology I told you that I would help you and I didn't follow through I'm sorry
28:05It's okay Jess. Well, no
28:08It's not
28:10But maybe I can make it better
28:12Maestro just needs to realize that a swinging mallet is nothing to be afraid of so I'm thinking
28:19We
28:24Put it in a stall overnight and hopefully he'll realize there's nothing to be afraid of
28:29It's worth a try
28:31Thank you
28:34What made you think of that
28:40Something my dad done with me
28:43Million years ago
28:46Good night, Amy. Good night
28:55Thanks, yeah, I'm glad I could come I know this is great
29:01You sure you don't want to try any it's really elegant. I love a wine when the flavor hits your palate slowly
29:08Yeah, yeah me too. But I have to be up early tomorrow morning
29:13for work, right
29:16So are you committed to the day job and writing plan or have you thought about college?
29:22I've thought about it
29:25Well, what about you? What was your path to becoming a writer? I
29:30always wanted to write but it wasn't till I moved from my small-town Quesnel to Vancouver that I
29:37Really started to take it seriously. I went to the Vancouver Fine Arts School
29:42Before college and it just changed me for the better
29:46That's so cool. My dad lives in Vancouver and I just I love the vibe there. Oh, yeah, I loved every second of it
29:53It was the best
29:59I'm just gonna go pick up Katie at Maggie's
30:02Turned to a monster truck rally. Can you believe that she's on a bit of an adventure streak lately? Yeah, she really is
30:09I'm gonna turn in early. I'm exhausted. Okay. Oh, how's it going with maestro? Good actually Nathan helped me get him used to other horses
30:16I think he might even be ready for your mystery dignitary
30:20Great. Um, I'm just surprised to hear Nathan was helping you. I thought you were drawing a line with him
30:27We had a really honest conversation
30:30I'm going to his house tomorrow
30:32on the date I
30:35Don't know it's just we're just gonna talk
30:42Okay, just don't get hurt
31:05Now what is this
31:09Well, I was right
31:12Val snapped up that burial plot quick as you please
31:17And I thought I would spend the money on a little treat for myself
31:20Taking this baby for a test and see if I can catch anyone's eye
31:24How's that working out? Well, it depends
31:27care for a ride cowboy Oh
31:29Oh
31:31Car like this is worth way more than a burial plot. You're right if I decide to buy it
31:36It's gonna be a bit of a splurge. Yeah, you deserve it. Ah
31:39Listen, I feel like I need to explain my reaction during our chat the other night
31:44It's okay. I get that it bothered you me talking about being buried near Lindy
31:51No, no, that's not it at all. And what is it? I
31:55I
31:57Have a hard time thinking about the end
32:00I'd rather stay focused on the here and now, you know, and all the living we have yet to do
32:06but that said when the time comes, of course, I
32:11Want to spend eternity next to you Jack Bartlett
32:15If you have room for me
32:17Of course
32:20Yeah, speaking of living in the here and now can you give me a lift somewhere
32:28Hop in
32:31I
32:45Thought you were never coming back
32:47Now, you know, I don't believe the scuttlebutt thrown around here. All I know Leo is
32:54You couldn't keep your mouth shut if you tried so
32:58Here's a little something that you can let slip to all the towns folk who seem to have nothing better to talk about
33:06than heartland beef
33:08Our product our family and our land ain't going anywhere as a matter of fact, we're expanding
33:16Heartland's going into the bison business
33:20Have a good day
33:22Please tell me you pulled this off by me see for yourself
33:52Oh
34:10That's amazing Amy, thank you not that I should have doubted it. Well, I couldn't have done it without Jessica
34:16She sure knows her polar horses. Yeah, you'll play some more
34:23So I'm afraid to ask but did the rumors affect the ticket sales I'm happy to say we've nearly sold out
34:30Right, that's amazing. This match is gonna be perfect. When do I get a meet the prince?
34:37What did you tell her?

38:06Great looking car. I'm glad you approved him. Did you just buy this? I just did. Yeah
38:13Lisa bought the car and
38:15I thought oh what the heck I think I'll buy a herd of bison
38:22Have you finally lost it? What are you thinking? It's the action
38:25We need to take to change the direction of Heartland beef. Well, you know, I love the idea
38:30But it's a big investment. Where are we gonna get the money? We'll work it out with the bank
38:35The important thing is it's the right move for the ranch
38:39What do you say Tim? I
38:42Guess we're in the business
38:45Good cuz I just told Leo so the whole town's gonna know by dinnertime

39:13What's wrong you ditched me last night you don't get how much that sucked I
39:19I'm sorry. I just figured you'd go with Ellie. I didn't want to go with Ellie. I wanted to go with you the two of us
39:29You didn't say I
39:31Thought we were just friends
39:34Yeah, well, I guess I should have been more clear. I was nervous. I like you Katie
39:42Look Brandon
39:44When I met you and Ellie and we all started hanging out I was so happy I
39:50Don't want that to change
39:54Can we just be friends yeah, okay. I gotta go Brandon
40:07So
40:09You ready for the great American West
40:12I am
40:14But I'm making a stop in New Hampshire first. Oh
40:18Well, I talked to the people who hired me and took a little bit of cajoling
40:22But they agreed to let me join a few days late
40:26Okay, well
40:29That's great. I
40:32Don't know if I'm ready to see my dad
40:35Well my offer stands I'll go with you
40:38I
40:41Think whatever happens in New Hampshire, I have to face on my own
40:45But I would like to see you after so maybe you could join me in Arizona on the expedition just for a few days
40:51Yeah, whatever you need. I'll be there
40:56Just I
40:59Have so many things that I need to tell him I
41:03I
41:06Need to look him in the eye
41:10And I need to say to him that he missed out on raising a really great daughter
41:17And that I turned out okay without him
41:24He's still my dad I
41:29Don't want to be angry I want to forgive him
41:33I want to hold on to the memory
41:36Of that dad that taught me how to play polo all those years ago
41:42Yes, I really love that dad
41:44Oh
41:58Sorry about the confusion in there. No, it's been happening more and more lately. Don't be it's nice to hear a story about my mom
42:05Can I ask you a question? Why did you feel like you have to keep this a secret need to go through it all alone?
42:14This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do seeing my dad like this his bad days
42:22Trying to help him along keeping alive the business that he built
42:26Yeah, but don't you have any family or friends that could help?
42:31No, not really. Not close by anyway, I
42:37Haven't told anybody because I don't want people to see my dad this way
42:44And truthfully I
42:49Can't imagine passing off his care to somebody else. I don't know how much time I have left with him
43:05Thank you for sharing this with me it means a lot
43:15Honestly, yeah, it it's a relief to tell someone
43:22It has not been easy doing this on my own
43:26Yeah, but you're not
43:30You have me
43:44You
