Wildfire

Previously on wildfire.

There's someone I'd like to hire.

She's one of the girls from camp lagrange I work with.

You're some kind of teacher, Pablo. You can't teach that.

Mr. betart says that he is prepared to offer you a job plus room and board

at the raintree thoroughbred farm.

Who is she? Hot working girl living in the trailers?

What are the rules about this?

Someone in my position is obviously gonna be concerned

about what you've been through. I made some mistakes.

I hope I don't have to keep paying for them my entire life.

Things just got a lot more interesting around here.

Wildfire, he's gonna be auctioned off tonight.

You just make sure they don't take that horse. Hyah! Hyah!

Police have identified the girl as kristine furillo,

why doesn't she just give up? A recent inmate of camp lagrange.

What's the name of that horse?

You have a job waiting for you when you get out. You still want me,

even after all of this?

Wildfire! When you see a good horse at a good price, you buy it.

We still gotta teach him how to race. When do you start?

In 90 days.

90 days, wildfire, 90 days.

Hey.

Hey.

You doing okay?

I'm above ground.

Nervous?

No.

The ritters got the trailer all fixed up for you.

They asked me what you want in it.

Course you could've told them yourself, if you'd let anybody come see you.

How's wildfire?

He's got his good days.

Is he okay?

He's been moved around too many times.

He's not the same horse you remember.

Kris, nothing's gonna be easy.

You stay focused on your work, you stay focused on wildfire,

and be patient,

things will come right.

They'll be here any minute.

Good. At least I can say hello before dinner. Hey!

Did you get a present? Mm-hmm, right there.

Work boots?

What, it's a bad present?

There's kind of an underwear- for-Christmas vibe.

I didn't know what else she'd need.

Well, they did have a nice nylon raincoat.

Boots are great.

Ooh. They're here. Come on.

Rubber work boots?

Okay, okay. I know. Rubber boots.

Welcome back!

Hey! Raintree's never been the same!

Did you have a nice trip back? Yeah, fine. Thanks.

Welcome.

It's great to see you. Me, too. I mean, it's great to see you

and thank you for all the e-mails.

You two were e-mailing each other? How sweet.

Yeah, well...

Hey.

Hey.

These are from all of us.

Oh, uh, uh, these--

I really need these.

They're from Garcia's, in case you want to trade them in.

No, no, they are-- they're great. They are.

I'll bet that kris would like to visit wildfire.

Right? He's in the barn.

Um--

be careful.

He'll calm down when he sees kris.

I hope so. You never know with a thoroughbred.

Kris, take it slow.

Wildfire, it's me. I'm back.

I missed you so much.

Wildfire?

Maybe we should wait.

It's all right.

Go in slow. Stay out of his kick zone.

Remember me?

Hey. It's me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

He's getting impossible.

It wasn't his fault. We knew better than to crowd him like that.

I'm sorry, kris. You and Pablo can work with him tomorrow

when it's calmer.

I gonna go back up to the house. I got something in the oven.

Kris, come have Sunday dinner.

Uh, she needs to unpack.

I'm tired.

Of course you are. No, another time.

She hasn't had a decent meal for three months. We're having roast beef.

I'll see you up there.

Please come. Okay.

I wish you and Todd hadn't done that. Done what?

Invited kris to dinner.

We're getting too good to eat with the help now?

Please, I've been looking forward to kris coming back for months.

But she's here to work with the horses.

It's confusing enough she's a beautiful girl. Confusing for who?

Matt has to start thinking about college.

And if kris is up here at the house all the--

uh--

where should I...

Oh, I'm sorry. I don't want to crash or anything.

No, no, I'm sorry. I set the table this morning.

It's just habit. I'll get you a plate.

I'll get it. No, no, dad, sit down.

I've got the chair right here. I'm fine. I got it.

Roll?

Let's say "grace."

Lord, we thank you for this bounty before us.

And we also thank you for bringing back our dear kris,

new to our family, but now a part of it.

Amen. Amen.

Dad.

Oh! Sorry. I'm sorry. I got it. I got it.

Don't, no... That's fine.

I've got it.

So, did you have any friends in prison?

What? That's a weird question.

No, it's okay. There was this one girl, she was really nice.

What did she do?

She'll be in there a long time.

How's greensleeves?

Had to sell him. Got a lot less than we wanted, too.

What about Ricky Sanchez?

His wife's gonna have a baby. Did she have a baby?

We had to let him go. We couldn't afford--

Matt.

Roast beef?

I'm sorry you had to see wildfire like this.

Me, too.

It's not your fault. You saved his life.

Sorry.

Mom, don't worry.

Now that he's hanging out with Dani again, it should be fine between them.

Should be fine? What should be fine?

Nothing. Shut up.

What'd I say? Never mind.

Kris, do you have everything you need?

I'm fine. Thanks.

Actually, could we get a work schedule

worked out so that I know what I have to do everyday?

That's a good idea. I'll talk to Pablo about the schedule.

I get how you're feeling.

But if you think about it, I did save your life.

Doesn't that count for something?

Why wouldn't he want to see me?

Maybe he does want to see you.

Maybe he's saying he's hurt.

I didn't hurt him.

He doesn't know that.

Why didn't you let me visit you?

I didn't want you to see me in that place. I don't care about that.

I do. I sent you an e-mail. You never answered.

Your brother sent me an e-mail every other day. I answered him.

Are you saying I'm not trying hard enough?

Listen, I did. I took the bus to see you.

I thought you couldn't say no if you knew I was there.

But I got to the rec room,

and I saw you with some guy.

You could have told me.

What guy? 6'2", kind of buff, dark hair.

Eagle tat on his right arm? Yeah, that's him.

That's my brother Jace. He's a merchant marine.

Oh.

National velvet returns.

Thoughtful gift, dude.

There she is. Late as always.

She got here five seconds after you. But I am a half-hour late.

Hey, welcome back.

Hi, Dani. Amber. Hello.

You left your jacket in my car last night.

Thanks.

We're gonna go to the diner. Do you want to come?

No, thanks. I'm tired.

You don't look tired. You look great.

Thanks. Another time.

All right, well, let's go. Kris is tired.

Actually, I'll go.

Can I ride with you?

I was just about to ask if you wanted to drive.

You had to ask?

Take a right up here. I thought the diner was on olivera.

Back roads. You can open her up.

You're not a bad driver for a girl.

You nervous?

Okay, slow it down a little.

Yeah, whoo-hoo!

Where are they? They were right behind us.

They probably just went for a drive.

So, is it weird having her back?

No. The main thing is, she's out of that place.

It can't be easy, though. I know you guys had a thing.

No, listen, it's okay.

I just want to say...
