Thank you.
That was lovely.
Really comfortable, too.
Well, that's going to change.
You're going to have to use a saddle.
But that's so unnatural.
Where we're going
will be a study of the unnatural.
Ah... whoo!
The joys of human form.
You got a problem, Miss "I Love Everything Natural"?
No. It, uh... smells very...
healthy.
TESS: There he is...
Over there...
That's Matt Duncan,
a good father,
a fine husband...
and a hard worker.
A really nice man,
and he wants nothing more than the best for his son.
What's so unnatural about that?
Well, he may think he has
all the happiness in the world,
but a little bit of hate can attract enough evil
to destroy him and everybody else he loves.
Evil?
Don't you feel it?
There's something terribly wrong.
TESS: What's wrong with this picture?
MONICA: You mean apart from the fact that Mr. Duncan
doesn't look much like a cowboy?
He's not.
He runs this place.
Last week, he had a rock concert.
Next week, he's going to have a computer convention.
But this week, he brought in a rodeo
with a truckload of evil
along with it.
Tess... that's my friend.
That's Kathleen.
She's not your friend anymore.
But...
And no "buts," Miss Wings.
She's going to walk all over you.
I think not.
I love it when you cop an attitude.
♫ When you walk down the road ♫
♫ Heavy burden, heavy load ♫
♫ I will rise and I will walk with you ♫
♫ I'll walk with you ♫
♫ Till the sun don't even shine ♫
♫ Walk with you ♫
♫ Every time, I tell you I'll walk with you ♫
♫ Walk with you ♫
♫ Believe me, I'll walk with you. ♫
I'd heard the rumors about her;
I just couldn't believe it.
Believe it.
We were on Search and Rescue together.
Floods, fires, travellers in peril...
She taught me everything I know about safe landings.
She was the best.
How could she do this?
She is not the first
to choose darkness instead of light.
And she sure won't be the last.
But she has made her choice,
and she is not your friend anymore.
You remember that.
Kinda tough running this one, Andy.
Don't put him in with the others.
( Bull bellowing, gate banging )
Easy! Easy!
Come on, let's go. Come on.
Bull... bull...
Dad! I'm going to go watch them bring the bulls in.
Not without me, you're not.
This shouldn't take that long.
Sandy, this is Kathleen...
Luna.
Kathleen Luna. She said she booked a space on the midway?
Could it be under anything else?
Fortune-tellers?
I heard fortune-tellers are just faking.
Daniel...
That's okay.
The truth is, some are,
but I am very real.
I know exactly what's going to happen sooner or later.
What's going to happen to me?
Let me see.
Oh...
You're standing in front of something very...
very big... very scary...
but you're Daniel the Brave...
very courageous...
and you destroy it.
What is it?
Something that moves in the night...
in the shadows...
Oh... that.
My dad fixed that years ago.
He put a night-light by my bed.
I don't even need it anymore.
It's for babies.
Maybe you should practice a little more.
Listen, I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Do you have a confirmation number?
( laughs )
It flew out my window coming through Texas.
Texas.
You came that far?
Farther.
( Phone rings )
SANDY: Hello?
Well, I'm sorry.
Um, I would love to help you, but we are completely booked.
Oh.
Really?
SANDY: Matt, excuse me.
But it looks like there's a space open after all.
Jim Harper, the T-shirt guy?
Someone ran him right off the interstate this morning.
His wife says he's in pretty bad shape.
Hmm.
Well, the, uh, Harpers had... booth number one.
Prime location, top of the midway.
You can have that if you'd like.
Great. Thank you.
I'm sorry it had to go down like this, but...
Well, I'll move in and maybe you can come by later for the check?
Mm-hmm.
And Daniel, here's some real fortune-telling for you.
Look behind the soda machine.
There's a $10 bill.
DANIEL: Dad!
Ten bucks.
MONICA: Kathleen!
Monica!
Well, it is a small universe.
So, I guess it's true?
Truth, I'm finding out, is relative.
Ah... or you just make it look that way.
Well, I would love to stay and pursue this theory
but I just can't.
Why don't you stop by later, booth number one,
We can have tea, catch up...
angel to angel.
You're not an angel anymore.
You know what you are.
( Over radio ): ♫ There's a cold spell moving in... ♫
Just let it go.
TESS: Good shot!
Two more just like that and you'll win!
Hello, Mr. Duncan.
I'm Monica.
Yes?
The veterinarian.
You know, from the insurance company.
That's right.
I got a call you'd be coming.
I didn't know they required a vet on the premises,
but then again, I've never promoted a rodeo before.
Why now?
( Mouthing )
I'm not sure.
It's not my thing really,
but business is business.
Uh, is this your son? Yes, this is Daniel.
TESS: Daniel, you shot real good; You're going to win!
Hello, Daniel.
Are you going to the rodeo?
No, my dad hates the rodeo and...
Well, my mom's in Florida on some business thing, so...
Well, don't you have a brother you could go with?
No.
We're the last of the Duncans.
Just Dad and me.
Well, now we can't have the great Duncan heir
missing the rodeo.
Thanks, no.
Really.
Listen, Daniel, why don't you
go back to the office and wait for your mum.
She said she'd call around 4:00.
DANIEL: Our time or her time?
Daniel, go on.
Tell your mother that I miss her,
and did she get my flowers.
Okay?
'Kay... Okay.
MAN: Attention, rodeo fans!
We have a late announcement...
I'm sorry, it's just that
he seemed so interested in all this.
Four-time national bull ride champion...
He's better off without it.
Six-time best all-round national champion,
the original eight-second hero, Ty Duncan!
Another Duncan in the world. Anyone you know?
Duncan will ride 2,000 bulls.
Yeah, I'm afraid so.
Yes, that's 2,000 bulls
at the closing ceremonies on Saturday night.
You won't want to miss it.
( Soft guitar intro )
♫ He's not much to look at ♫
♫ The years haven't been kind at all ♫
♫ From Cheyenne to Denver to Dallas ♫
♫ He's rode in them all ♫
♫ Now he's on his way down to Tulsa ♫
♫ To put on a show ♫
♫ And he'll ride the meanest bull there ♫
♫ He's an eight-second hero ♫
♫ They come to their feet when he rides ♫
♫ And he never does mention the pain ♫
♫ It's a matter of pride ♫
♫ But he's getting older ♫
♫ He feels it each time he rides in ♫
♫ And this eight-second hero ♫
♫ Knows someday that bull's gonna win. ♫
( bulls lowing )
MONICA: These pens are much too small.
This poor fellow right here, he can't see what's going on.
If he's left out,
you see, this could cause you serious problems down the line.
There is no "down the line."
These cows are being auctioned tomorrow for...
product.
Oh, dear.
TY DUNCAN: Hey, Matt.
What can I do for you?
Well... how about... "Hello, Poppa, how you doing?"
Is this your dad?
No.
He's just my father.
Look, son...
Don't call me that.
I didn't come here to fight with you, Matt.
Whatever you came here to do, it's too late.
I came here to ask you to give me a chance
to make things up to you.
Whatever's happened in the past, we're still family.
No, we're not.
The only thing you know about family
is how to wreck it.
You've got a right to be mad... I don't blame you...
But, son, hate... hate is like water in a dry riverbed.
The longer it runs, the deeper it digs in.
You can save your two-bit philosophy for the cowboys.
And don't call me son.
You've probably got one
in every hick town in this country.
So this is it.
This is why you're here.
That old man's ticker is going to give out any day now.
Wouldn't it be a shame if somebody
keeps them apart until they just run out of time?
"Too late...
"too bad...
Bye, Dad."
( cackling )
Whew.
Think of the possibilities.
You'd better think about me
getting in your way every step you take
because that's not a possibility,
that's a fact.
Listen, I, uh...
I'm sorry that you had to hear all that before.
With my father.
How long has it been since you've seen him?
15 years.
It's a good thing my wife isn't here.
She would be after me to...
Patch things up? Yeah.
Well, it's always good not to put things off.
Look, there's nothing to patch up.
I spent my childhood watching my mother polishing trophies
and trying to make a few bucks in prize money last
in between rodeos.
I learned to grow up reading postcards
that were always promising
that this would be his last year on the circuit.
My mum and I always took a distant second to the bulls,
the booze, the women... and the lies.
( Scoffs )
I'm not even sure why I said yes to this.
Everything in my gut told me to pass on the rodeo, you know?
Take a loss, pray that the next rock concert
would make up the difference, but...
I don't know, something made me say yes.
You know, it was very hard for him
to come here and face you.
He knew that you would be angry.
But he wants to connect with his family
before it's too late,
and he wants to be a grandfather.
Listen, I appreciate you
letting me blow off steam like this,
but this is my problem.
And I don't want Daniel involved in this.
I don't want him to know that his grandfather is here.
As a matter of fact,
I don't want him to know he even has a grandfather.
But that's lying to your son.
No. I'm saving my son.
All right. I won't tell him, I promise.
But I'm not going to lie to him, either.
One question, though:
If your father lied to you, and you're lying to your son,
when does it stop?
I don't know.
You got a point.
KATHLEEN: Mr. Duncan...
I have that check for you.
Excuse me.
MONICA: But, I, I thought we could take a look
at the conditions and the horse trainers.
Uh, that's your department.
If anything's not up to code, just let me know.
When you're dressed up, you look very handsome.
Well, I like this new "Monica",
"tough, aggressive, angel with an attitude" business.
You gettin' it, girl.
Well, I'm obviously not getting it fast enough.
He just walked away with her.
( sighs )
Do you think if I dressed like that,
I'd be more successful?
Absolutely.
I'm just afraid to think what you'd be successful at.
Maybe I can reason with her, make her go away.
Kathleen is just one soldier in the army, baby.
If she goes away, somebody else will come take her place.
But Matt, one way or another,
stands a chance of losing his father... and his own son.
You concentrate on that.
Forget about her.
It's hard to forget about a friend...
but it's dangerous to forget about an enemy.
You got it, baby.
Hyah! ( Whip cracking )
Hyah, hyah!
( Snorts )
Hyah!
( Whip cracking )
Kathleen! ( Neighing )
Get off of my horse!
Possessive, aren't we?
We used to share everything.
Why did you do it, Kathleen?
Why did you leave us?
I got an offer I couldn't refuse.
There was no better offer than the one you already had.
Oh, the old party line.
Haven't you ever once wondered what it's like on this side?
No.
Well, we're winning, Monica,
and I like being on the winning team.
It only looks that way, Kathleen.
You fight the war one battle at a time.
Then we'll have to choose our battles carefully...
and I choose Matt
and his ilk:
The got-it-all-together types, with their insides
all cut up, just wanting for hate to settle down.
Not if love finds its way there first.
"Ilk."
I remember how you used to love funny-sounding words like that.
You used to say them over and over again:
( Mockingly ): "Ilk. Ilk. Ilk."
I know you, Monica.
So you might as well be a good little angel,
and give up now.
You're not going to win.
And who's going to stop me?
God is.
Ah... God.
I forgot how damned hopeful you get
when you're about to get whupped.
Hyah!
( Neighing )
KATHLEEN: She's a beaut.
ANNOUNCER: All riders, all riders.
Your attention, please.
Registration is now open...
( gagging cough )
( sighs )
Practice, practice, practice.
I see a lot of talent in you.
Give it another try.
This time could be magic.
Hey.
Oops. Sorry.
Daniel Duncan, you are good.
Kathleen...
Daniel Duncan, you're a regular cowboy.
Daniel Duncan, you are good.
Have a hog-tying, roping future in you, yes, you do.
Daniel Duncan,
rodeo star!
Excuse me.
Your name's Daniel Duncan?
Yeah.
You any relation to Matt Duncan?
Yeah, he's my Dad.
He's your dad?
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
My name is Tyler Duncan, Daniel.
I'm...
I'm your granddaddy.
But...
No, it's the God's
honest truth... I'm your grandpa.
DANIEL: Oh.
Is that you?
Yeah, that sure is.
What the hell is going on here?
I thought I didn't have a grandfather.
Have you been lying to this boy?
You don't deserve a grandson.
That's something you earn, old man...
Not something you get into your head one day
and then try to claim after 15 years.
I'm just trying to make up for lost time.
Not with my son, you won't.
Daniel, this man might be related to us,
but he is not a member of our family
and never will be. And you...
Stay away from my son
and don't make me any more promises.
I didn't tell him.
Is there a problem?
I just left for a moment to get Daniel some cotton candy.
Thank you.
I thought Monica was looking after him.
No, there's no problem.
It's all settled.
Daniel, come on.
MATT: Let's go.
Running off isn't going to solve anything, Chicken Boy.
Sorry it has to be
the way that it is.
Yes, ma'am.
Oh, but you can't give up.
Yes, I can, ma'am.
One thing about bull-riding:
You got to know when to get off.
I don't get it!
You told me my grandfather was dead.
Well, I lied. I'm sorry, there's no excuse for it.
Look...
I thought it would be harder on you
if you knew your grandfather was alive
and I was keeping you away from him.
So now you're not going to let me see him?
No, I'm not.
Dad, he's a star.
He knows more about the rodeo than anyone in the world.
Why can't I just see him?
Because I don't think it would be good for you, son.
You just don't like him.
That's true, I don't.
What does "Chicken Boy" mean?
That's what your grandfather called me
when I told him I didn't want to be a part of the rodeo.
He used to call me that to embarrass me.
So now you don't love him?
I didn't say that.
How can you love somebody you don't like?
It's not easy, son.
This sucks.
I don't even know if I don't like him yet.
Yeah, well, trust me.
I did.
That's it...
You're going to keep your butt in that chair until we go home,
and then tomorrow, you're not coming to work with me.
Dad!
That's it! I mean it!
Jerk.
What was that?
I thought I told you to leave me alone.
Matt, I didn't tell Daniel
about his grandfather... You must trust me.
The damage has been done.
That's all that matters.
No, it's not.
Do you believe in evil?
Yeah. I lived with it my whole life.
Ty is not evil, he's just human.
Yes, he's made mistakes...
Bad ones...
But he's trying to make up for them now.
He can't.
He can if you let him.
Don't let this chance pass you by.
I don't want you to regret it.
Look, I don't know how you got involved in this,
but you're not part of it, okay?
( Applause and cheering in distance )
Mmm.
Okay, now, see this one here pointing to the left?
That means you will follow your own path.
That your parents
may want one thing, but you will want another.
Don't let them tell you what to do.
You can tell all that from old chicken bones?
My grandfather called my dad "Chicken Boy."
Well, you know what it means
when you call somebody a chicken, don't you?
That they're scared?
And weak.
I never thought of my dad like that.
You don't ever have to worry
about somebody calling you a chicken, Daniel.
You're very brave, like your grandfather.
My dad won't let me see him.
That's a shame.
Ty Duncan is an important man...
and such a nice person.
Come here.
Look.
( Lively calliope music playing )
Everybody loves him.
Yeah, he's going to ride
his two thousandth bull tomorrow.
I bet you he practices all the time.
Some people practice on mechanical bulls or barrels,
but your grandfather never did.
He just got on and did it.
Just like that?
That's the way very brave men do it.
Well... I got to get back to my paying customers.
Yeah. I'll see you later.
But if my dad asks, don't tell him I was here,
okay?
Okay.
You stay out of trouble now.
Okay.
ANNOUNCER: Qualifying bull ride
will be held for non-seated riders...
TY: Here you go... okay.
Beginning 4:00 p.in. Today.
Qualifying bull ride held at 4:00 p.in. Today
for non-seeded riders.
Okay.
Hey, Daniel.
Come here.
You can call me Ty.
See this pretty lady here?
Hi, Daniel.
She's a real, live rodeo queen.
Everybody, I'd like you to meet
the rodeo champion of the 21st century,
my grandson, Daniel Duncan.
( Mooing )
TY: See that one over there?
DANIEL: Mm-hmm.
His name is Steamroller.
You can tell by the look in his eye,
he's a real killer.
A friend of mine in Denver tried to ride him once.
Old Steamroller took him
and threw him around like an old rag doll.
See, when you're riding a bull,
you got to clear your mind of everything else,
if you want to stay alive.
It's a battle of the wills.
Whoever wants it most wins.
Hmm.
You probably wanted it more than anyone.
I mean, you're the champ.
Yeah, I wanted it more than anyone or anything.
Do you know I have dreams about this?
Like what?
Being in a rodeo.
I want to ride a bull, too.
Yeah?
Yeah. Maybe someday you can...
Hey, Danny, here, sit down.
I want to talk to you.
I don't have a lot of time to get to know you, Daniel.
I know,
and my dad's a jerk.
No, no.
He's not a jerk.
He's just, uh...
Well, he's a man with a good memory.
I bet you got a good memory.
I guess, yeah.
You know, Daniel,
there's a lot of things in your life
that you're going to feel...
well, you're going to feel bad about.
You're going to wish you'd done them differently.
There's no avoiding that.
But one thing you will never feel bad about,
and that's following your heart when it comes to your family.
Heart.
That's where your courage comes from.
But if you don't have courage, you're a chicken boy, right?
I had no business telling your daddy that.
I won't be scared.
You'll be proud of me.
You'll see.
I'm already proud of you.
Now you run along.
Go back to your daddy
before he gets worried about you.
Go on.
Ladies and gentlemen, direct from Nashville,
Daryle Singletary.

♫ I said, "Officer, what have I done?" ♫

♫ "Boy, you're having too much fun" ♫
♫ Too much fun ♫
♫ What's that mean? ♫

Daniel is such a sweetheart.
That little boy had five hot dogs,

and now he's all tucked into bed.
Yeah.
He should be fine in my trailer, though.
Listen, thanks for pitching in.
I know Daniel was getting tired of me dragging him around.
( laughs )
I-I hope you don't mind me coming back.
The-the truth is, um...
I was hoping you'd save a dance for me.
♫ Being too lucky, a car too fast... ♫
Listen... if I was going to dance with anybody

♫ I'm a holy terror, a tornado ♫
♫ Write me up, turn me loose and let me go... ♫
TY: It's a good thing your wife's in Florida, boy.
You've got a lot of nerve judging me, don't you think?
Now, just hold on a second.
TY: What are you up to, lady?
Why are you messing with my son, huh?
Now, you're the one...
You're the one who set me up with Daniel,
aren't you?
What's he talking about?
TY: Yeah...
She was shouting his name all over God's creation,
just so I could hear it.
You know...
I have been mixed up with a lot of women in my time,
and I learned one thing the hard way.
That's how to tell the good ones from the bad ones.
You've got a bad one here, boy.
She wants something from you,
and you're probably just stupid enough to give it to her.
( Groaning )
You really do hate me, don't you?
Go ahead, do it.
Come on, you've been dreaming about this your whole life.
Come on, Chicken Boy, take your best shot.
If it seems like I'm always walking away from you,
you just remember where I learned it.
♫ ...'cause I ain't never had too much fun. ♫
( band plays finale )

Daniel!

Over here!
Daniel, don't move.
Daniel, Daniel.
Daniel, don't move. Daniel.
Daniel, don't move, okay?
You're doing great. You're doing great.
Now, don't move.
Now, what's going to happen is,
I'm going to pick you up...
( metal gate crashing )

get out of there!
( Ferocious bellowing )
( panting )

( panting )
What the hell were you doing in there?
My God, Daniel, a few more seconds...!
Are you all right?
Dad, I thought...
Daniel, what were you doing in there?!
I wanted to ride a bull.
Ty said... Wait a second.
Your grandfather said you could do this?
I'm going to kill him.
He was telling me about... Matt.
Daniel, are you okay?
Yeah.
MATT: I want you out of my life
and I gotta kill you to do it, I will.
You almost killed him.
Killed who?
What are you talking about?
( Grunts )
( blows landing )
Get up!
Get up, old man!
Fight me!
Get up!
Fight me!
I hate you!
I hate you.
MONICA: Matt, stop.
This is a fight
you don't need to have.
There's already a battle going on
and I've been sent to fight for you and for your father.
Have you ever seen
an angel before, Ty?
You know, as a matter of fact, back in '78,
I was riding with a guy who got pinned under a bull
and I actually saw an angel
pull the bull off.
It happens all the time.
Angels do help to save lives.
But tonight, I have the privilege
of helping you save much more... Your souls.
Your son's... your future.
An angel?
I don't know when it started, maybe generations ago.
But you've been caught in this family cycle of escape and hate.
One father's anger fueling the rebellion of a son
only to... to cause the next son to rebel and on it goes.
And it has to stop...
It has to stop tonight...
Because the next son to be angry with his father will be Daniel.
Why didn't you tell us this before?
Somebody kept getting in the way.
It comes with the territory.
Kathleen?
Kathleen.
She's not your friend.
She's not anybody's friend.
She comes from a place so dark,
you can't even imagine.
And she comes with one goal:
To destroy.
She almost succeeded.
Oh, don't be afraid.
She can't come any closer.
Love is here, so she can't be.
Love?
Yes.
Absolutely perfect love.
You owe your son an apology.
Yes, ma'am, I know.
I've been trying.
And I have a message for you.
God loves you, Matt.
You can never change
what Ty has done, but you can change tonight.
You can change what it is that you do to...
to hold on to this pain.
Forgive and forget?
Forgiveness won't change him...
but it will change you.
And I think that's what he wants for you.
It's going to take some time.
Maybe you don't have much time.
We don't always know when it's too late...
until it's too late.
You know that guy that used to beat you up
when you were a kid?
He hasn't been around for a long time.
No, I'm the only guy that's left.
It's not much, but... it's all yours, son.
( Thunder rumbling )
You turned out to be one hell of a man.
I'm real proud of you.
Kathleen.
I just need to know something before you go.
Curiosity killed the angel.
There are so many people in the world
who have never seen what you and I have seen,
but they believe anyway.
But you... you have seen Him
and still you walked away.
I don't understand.
Don't you miss us?
What if I did?
I've made my choice.
Besides, I'm having too much fun.
I'll never forget who you were...
who I loved.
But I can't say I'm sorry to see you go.
You turned out to be a hell of an angel, Monica.
Next time, I won't underestimate you.
( Thunder crashing )
I guess I should've called.
Yeah.
Maybe you should've called.
( Ty chuckling )
Well, there's always tomorrow.
MONICA ( clears throat ): Excuse me.
There is no tomorrow for you, I'm afraid, Mr. Duncan.
This is your last night
with your son.
What?
It's nothing to fear, believe me.
But it is something
to prepare for.
When I hit him, I...?
No.
This day has been written down
for a long time.
It's not fair.
Why are you doing this now?
No, no, it's fair.
It's about as fair as anything can be.
You say there's no tomorrow, but...
there is tonight, yes?
Yes.
Well, all right, then.
TESS: Wow, 2,000 bull rides and we're here to see it, baby.
( Bull bellowing, cowbell clanking )
( cowbell clanking )
( bull bellows )
( bull snorting )
( bull bellowing )
( cowbell clanking )
You ready?
( Bull bellowing )
Now!
Yeah!
MONICA: Come on, Ty!
TESS: Ride him, Ty! Yeah!
Stay on there, Ty!
Stay on there! Stay on there!
Ride him, baby! Ride him!
( Bull bellowing )
DANIEL: Come on!
MATT: Eight seconds!
( Matt laughing )
DANIEL: Yeah, Grandpa! Yeah!
( Cowbell clanking )
MATT: Whoa! Yeah!
( Bull bellowing )
Yeah! Yee-haw!
Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah!
( Bellowing )
( laughing )
Whoo!
You did it, Grandpa!
You did it!
2,000 bulls!
2,000 bulls.
Yes, sir.
I never told you how good I always thought you were at this.
Well, I'd better be.
It's about the only thing I ever did right.
Except maybe come back.
Some fancy riding!
It was amazing.
I'll remember it forever.
Yeah, I never could resist a good ride.
Of course, I've been thrown lots of times
and I got the broken bones to prove it.
But I guess if you just keep getting up,
it's, uh...
I guess it's getting late.
Grandpa Ty, look for me tomorrow.
I'll be sitting right there again, okay?
You betcha.
But that's tomorrow.
Tonight was for you.
Just for you.
You remember that, huh?
I got something for you.
Thanks, Grandpa.
You bet.
Uh... good night...
Dad.
Good night, son.
Yeah.
I'll see you in the morning.
You bet.
It's going to be a beauty.
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen,
that's the 2,000th bull for Ty Duncan!
( voice echoing ): Congratulations to the greatest bull rider
in rodeo history...!
( grunting )
( groans )
♫ He's an eight-second hero ♫
♫ They come to their feet when he rides... ♫
Good morning, Ty.
There's somebody I'd like you to meet.
♫ He never does mention the pain ♫
♫ It's a matter of pride ♫
♫ But he's getting older ♫
♫ He feels it each time he rides in ♫
♫ And this eight-second hero ♫
♫ Knows someday that bull's gonna win. ♫
