That shit!
- Hello! - Hello!
- So, did you ask 'em? - Yep. They said fine.
Oh, good!
Sure it's okay with your mom, though, right?
Yeah, she doesn't care. She's working.
Isn't she coming up this weekend?
I don't know.
So, ah, come on, how cute is he? Spit it out.
- Oh, he's kind of gorgeous. - Yeah?
He's sort of like a cousin, but not really. He wants to be a forest ranger.
Oh, good! Well, then after dinner we could set a fire in your room, and he can come and rescue us.
You should've seen the look on her face.
I never laughed so hard, I swear to God. I just can't believe you might miss it.
Oh.
Hi, Gulliver. How you doin', boy?
Hey, Pilgrim.
Come here.
Hey, babe. You're such a beautiful boy.
What are you thinkin', huh? What are you thinkin', boy?
You wanna go for a ride?
Let's go for a ride. Come on. Come on, boy. Come on.
- Hello? - It's me.
- Hi. - Hi.
- So what train are you taking? - Um, I should be in by 2:00.
Okay. You want me to pick you up?
No, I can take a cab. Grace go riding?
Mm-hmm. What do you want to do about dinner?
- I hadn't thought. - I can ask to try that place Emily says...
- Oh, hang on. - They're here, so...
I, I'll let you go. We'll figure it out when you get here, okay?
Yeah, okay. Okay. Bye. Hello?
Please! Oh, God, please!
Oh, wait. Have you seen that stupid cereal commercial? It's like...
- And where are the paintings? It's about her work, and we can't even see it. - But we're trying to...
We can change the color of the deck, and we can move it up so then you can see the paintings...
We need to see the paintings. She's an artist.
- Have you checked on her going rate? - Gottschalk.
Yes. The legal department's on that right now.
- David! - Did you speak to Felton?
Yes, we're suing.
Well, is that absolutely necessary? It'll just make it a bigger story.
- Am I on the speaker? - David, he signed an agreement that he wouldn't talk to the press...
and now he's libeled me by saying I faked the figures.
- You're not going soft on me, are you? - Well, nothing like a good public feud.
Exactly!
- You know that kid Adam? - Yeah.
- Mm-mmm, he's very cute! - I, I think you'd make a good couple, Grace.
- I don't think so. - Oh, I do!
- You think he's cute? - Eww! Are you serious?
- I think he's cute. - Oh, I think he's lucky that he lives next door to you.
- I think, I think I... - What do you think?
I think you have a crush on him.
All right, let's take a shortcut. Let's take a shortcut.
- You know, we can't even read it. - Friday is confirmed. - Right, okay.
No, no, no, no, no, no. We have to reshoot this.
- I said it - I said that - I said it
- It's "that. " It's "that. " - I said it
- I swear to God, it's "that. " - It, it, it, it! - It's "that. "
- All right, fine. Let's start again. Ready? - All right, fine, fine, fine.
All right. I met him at a party
And he told me how to drive
He said he'd like to do it backwards
I said it It
- Come on. - Judith.
I said it It!
Come on!
Gulliver. Gulliver, up! Up, Gulliver! Whoa!
- Judith! - Hey! No! No, no, no!
Grace, look out!
- Pilgrim! Judith, Judith! - Grace!
Hello!
No!
Gulliver!
Gulliver, stop! Hold it, Gulliver!
Gulliver! Come on!
Robert.
Judith's dead.
And what about Grace?
- She's in pretty bad shape. - It's a multiple trauma.
- Where is she? - She's still in the O.R.
- O.R.? What for? - L-It's just... It's...
It's a mid-shaft, tib-fib fracture with a vascular compromise, meaning the blood supply to the lower leg...
They think they have to take part of the leg off.
Which leg?
T- The right leg.
Oh, Jesus.
Okay.
Just take it easy.
This is gonna be tough on both of us.
So let's not make it any harder than it has to be.
Judith.
- That bag's almost empty. - Oh, they'll be in to change it.
If you leave it up to these people... Excuse me.
- My daughter needs a new I.V. - Yes, I know. We have her down.
Well, I'd like it taken care of now, please.
You have to stay on top of these people constantly.
I'm sorry.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
We really should let her get some rest, and I do have to change the bandage.
You can come back in a couple of hours and see how she's doing.
Mrs. MacLean? Mrs. MacLean, you have a call on line two. You can take it right there.
- Hello? - Annie, it's Liz. How's Grace?
Her leg was very damaged, and they had to remove it.
Oh, God. Annie, I'm so sorry.
Listen, I, I know that you're being hit with a lot now...
and it's hard to think about anything else, but I have to talk to you about Pilgrim.
Hello?
Yeah, I'm here.
I've never seen an animal with these injuries still breathing.
I'd like your permission to put him down.
- It's, it's really the best thing... - Uh, I... Y... Uh... You mean shoot him?
- Annie. - Well, um...
Um, look, Liz. The doctor's here right now...
and I, I can't make this decision on my own.
- Annie, I understand that, but I have to know... - Uh, just do what you can.
- Okay? - Annie, no matter what I do, this horse will never be the same.
Well, look, I, I, I, I just don't know. It's Grace's horse, so when she...
- It's not right to make it suffer. - I cannot deal with this now, Liz.
L- If you need a yes or a no, then don't do it.
Okay? Just, just, just, j-just do what you can for him, okay?
Right.
Animal should be put down. Anybody can see that.
What did he say?
Nothing. He's just going off duty.
Well! That's important information, huh?
Christ.
Doctors, huh?
I'm gonna get to know all the nurses' names.
It's, it's good to know their names.
- I'll go get some of her things. - I'll go.
No! I'll go. You stay, in case she wakes up.
You guys go on ahead. I'll be up by Christmas.
Oh, I meant to tell you. I got those tickets for the Knicks game.
Good.
- Wanna come, Annie? - No. Why don't you go with a friend, Grace?
Yeah.
Wanna eat something else, honey? We can order out something else.
No, I'm just not that hungry. That's all.
Well, you should try to eat anyway. It's the only way you're gonna...
I said I wasn't hungry.
- Wanna watch some television? - I think she should finish first. - Maybe.
I just... I... I can't.
- Here. - I'm sorry.
No, Dad! I got it. Got it.
Sorry.
- You've got to stop doing that. - What?
Helping her all the time.
Running to her every time she trips, anticipating her.
You know, Annie, this didn't just happen to you.
Hi, Grace.
I don't care what he told you. The man's a liar.
He's a actor, for God's sake.
He'd do anything to get a cover.
Gracie, what happened?
It doesn't matter. I just...
I don't wanna come back. That's all.
Well, what are you gonna do? I mean, you have to go to school, sweetheart.
I said no!
I don't want to come back. That's it. I wanna go home.
Grace, listen to me. Hmm?
Your leg is just healing, and you have to give the rest of you time as well.
Is that your version of a pep talk?
Well, you're not staying home all day, feeling sorry for yourself.
You're gonna get up, and you're gonna figure this out.
Fine.
It's still early. What's your next class?
Gym.
Appears to be an excellent jump. Head and hands, eyes, perfect.
Pilgrim moves with absolute confidence at the command of Miss MacLean.
- What is it, sweetheart? - I wanna see Pilgrim.
- Hello. - Hi. - Hi.
It's so good to see you. How are you doing?
- She's doing just great. Aren't you, kiddo? - I'm fine.
Watch your step.
Mind how you go. It's muddy back there.
Back there?
W - Well, what do you, what do you mean? Why isn't he in the barn with the other horses?
Well, Grace, you see...
Pilgrim just isn't the same horse that he used to be.
As a matter of fact, maybe now's not the best time for you to see him.
I really wanna see him.
Can you open it, please?
Hey!
Hello, beautiful boy.
- No! No! - Grace. - Oh, God, no, no, please.
- No, Grace. - No, no, no, no. Leave me alone!
Here. Grace. Grace!
Mr. MacLean, I'm so sorry.
- Dad, why didn't you tell me? - I'm so sorry.
You should've told her, Annie. This animal is beyond help.
Annie, can I have your permission now to put him down?
No.
And get me every publication on riding, racing, breeding.
Everything. Medical publications as well.
Veterinarian journals. And tell them it's me, and I want it now.
- Hold on, hold on. Gottschalk. - I'll call him back.
- He says he's on his way to the airport, he really needs... - Lucy, I'll call him back.
I'll call him back. Just get me what I want.
"A million years before man...
"they grazed the vast and empty plains...
"living by voices only they could hear.
"They first came to know man as the hunted knows the hunter...
"for long before he used horses for his labors...
"he killed them for meat.
"The alliance with man would forever be fragile...
"for the fear he'd struck into their hearts...
"was too deep to be dislodged.
"Since that Neolithic moment...
"when a horse was first haltered...
"there were those among men who understood this.
"They could see into the creature's soul...
"and soothe the wounds they found there.
"The secrets uttered softly into troubled ears.
These men were known as the Whisperers. "
It's perfectly shot, perfectly cropped...
perfectly laid out, and I am so bloody bored.
Start again.
Thank you. Would you excuse me for a moment?
Yes.
- Hello? - Yeah, this is Tom Booker. I got a message you called.
Oh, hello, Mr. Booker. It's Annie MacLean from Cover.
You know, the magazine.
Um, well, thank you for returning my call.
- Is there something I can do for you, ma'am? - Yes, yes.
I read this article about what you do for people with horse problems.
Well, truth is, I help horses with people problems.
Well, whichever way you want to put it.
Uh, this article said that you were, you were a, a horse whisperer.
Oh, they said that, huh? A whisperer. Hmm.
And I was hoping that you'd come to New York...
and take a look at my daughter's horse and possibly do some...
Ma'am, I'm sorry, but I'm, I'm afraid you've misunderstood whatever it is you read.
Because that's not exactly what I do. I mostly conduct clinics, you see, and...
Well, could you come to New York just for the day?
- It's only a few hours by plane. - And I'm not doin' them now.
I'm on my way to Montana where I have a ranch to take care of.
Well, I'd pay your fare, of course. Uh, first class.
Ma'am, first class to Montana is a waste of good money.
Well, if you could just give me a time when you'd be available.
Say, am I, am I being too polite here when I say "no" in Nevada?
Does that mean "yes" where you are?
Look, I'm really sorry for your situation, but there's nothing I can do.
You just called the wrong person is all. I'm sure there's some fine horse doctors back east.
No, but I don't want a horse doctor.
- I want, I want you. - So I, I hope everything goes okay with you and your horse.
- Well, but you see, it's not my horse. - So, so, goodbye now.
Grace?
Grace, it's Mom.
Grace?
Are you all right?
- I've decided about Pilgrim. - Oh.
I think we should put him down.
It's not fair to let him suffer.
- Well, I think that's a very... - Maybe they should put me down, too.
- What? - I'm not much use anymore.
You're getting a fax.
- You're up late. - Is it?
- How was the dinner? - Is Grace asleep?
- Yeah, I think so. - Nothing we haven't heard before.
Just louder this time. That's all.
- So why'd you go? - Well, one of us had to.
They're still our friends, Annie.
Listen, I had a thought. What do you think we go someplace warm, the three of us?
Bermuda or the Bahamas or... What?
Mmm, nothing.
No, I just don't know if Bermuda would be such a good idea.
- Grace would have to wear summer dresses or shorts. - Oh, yeah, of course, of course.
What is it?
I want to take Pilgrim out to see this horse guy. Drive him out to Montana.
- No, I'm serious. - Now, wait a minute.
- I thought you said you didn't like the way he sounded on the phone. - Well, I didn't.
- I want to take Grace with me. - You're kidding!
Liz'll find me a trailer. We can stay at motels along the way.
- What, you made arrangements already? - No, I just checked out a few things. You know.
- Wait a minute. Drive a crazed horse all the way to Montana with... - Oh, he's not crazed, Robert.
- Don't exaggerate. - No, I can't just pack up and leave.
- Well, I'm not asking you to. I'll do it. - By yourself? How?
- You can't take care of Pilgrim. - He'll be sedated.
- I do know a thing or two about horses. - What about the magazine?
I'm in charge. I can oversee things from Montana.
- I can take my fax, my computer. - Oh, you're in charge.
Well, what about Grace? The doctor says she needs stability and security.
Well, I can't say he's being all that effective with her.
- Are you a psychiatrist? He says it takes time. - Well, I don't care what he says!
I cannot sit here and pretend everything's gonna be all right.
- I am not pretending. I am trusting. - We have to do something, Robert.
- Other people know more about this than we do. - We are losing... We are losing her!
I don't care what the doctors say. They don't know her.
I don't care if this doesn't sound rational. Nobody is suggesting anything better!
I, I can't explain it, Robert. I just have this feeling.
I just know it's the right thing.
Why, Annie?
I just know it.
Does this, uh, cowboy vet know that you're coming?
Yeah.
What if Grace doesn't wanna go?
She will if you think she should.
- And you think it's best if I don't come. - No, that's not what I said.
Daddy?
I don't wanna go.
Straight back. Come on. A little closer. A little more.
Watch it. Get behind him.
Hold it! Get back! Hold it.
- Watch it! - There he goes, Eddie!
- Why don't you get inside and... - Lady, we're doing the best we can!
- It's the only way to load this kind of horse. - Keep trying.
- Maybe we should give him another sedative. - We did.
Get the gate! Get the gate!
Let's get out of here! Hold that door!
You got a gun, just in case?
Of course not.
That's probably best.
You may want to shoot yourself halfway to Ohio.
