Ride Above (Tempête)

- -My God, you scared me.

Is Philippe with you?

-No, he's, he's with her. -Ah, Belle Intrigante?

She, she, she's gonna give birth.

I think it's coming.

What, what's coming?

The baby.

Yes. Yes. Quick, quick. The baby, yes.

- Easy, easy. - Here. Don't wanna miss it.

Don't wanna miss it.

Here we are. Here we are.

Séb, give me a hand, it's stuck.

Here. Hold the tail. Come on.

-Come on, grab the tail. -

-That's it. -

The vet is pregnant too, remember?

-Sit down, we've got this. -Go on, go on, go on.

Pull, keep pulling. The placenta will come away on its own.

- -

Séb, Séb. Get over here. Take my place. Go on.

-You all right, Marie? You okay? -

-You gotta call an ambulance. -I-- I'll--

-Call an ambulance now! -Right away, right away!

Don't touch me, don't touch me.

Okay, it's okay. Hello, yes, I, I-- uh,

my wife is about to give birth. Yes, we're, uh, uh, at Sandy Stables.

Can you send an ambulance right away, please?

Uh, that's right, uh, Sandy Stables!

- -

Here we go, here we go. All right.

All right, come on, come on! With me, breathe, breathe!

- -It's gonna be okay. It's-- it's gonna be okay. Come on.

Come on. Here we go, here we go.

Séb, Séb, Séb. Uh, go get me some towels.

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

All right, there we go, here we go.

-All right, look at me. Breathe. -

You're doing great.

That's it. Breathe, breathe,

you're doing good. You're doing great.

- I have to push now, right? - That's it, right.

-Push, push, push. That's it, that's it. -

That's it. Great. That's it.

All right. Good, good! I can see the head. That's it.

-That's it. That's it. It's coming. It's coming. -

-It's coming. -

That's it, that's it, it's coming, almost there.

Come on, come on, come on. That's it!

It's coming, it's coming. It's almost here.

- -

- -

- -

-You did it, you did it! -Look how beautiful she is.

-So are you okay with Zoé? -Yes.

Hey, there, Zoé. Hey, pretty girl.

-I'm your daddy. -

And this is your brave, amazing mommy.

And this other brave mommy is Belle Intrigante.

-Haddid. - Yes?

Who are those two suits?

The tall one is Cooper, American.

He is the new backer.

The other one must be his secretary.

Think he knows horses?

I'd be shocked, he looks more like an accountant.

Maybe a banker. 'Cause it's gonna take a lot of cash

to fix up everything around here.

We're estimating ten years.

-A banker, you think? -Yeah, pretty sure.

Selling us about a dozen new horses, from Switzerland.

-Huh. -Gonna be a lot of work.

Here, you make the mess, you clean it up.

-What? -Just take it.

- -

So, once we fix up this wing and, uh, rebuild the others,

we should be able to board about 60 horses.

We should budget for 60 more horses.

And, uh, and as we discussed earlier,

we need a veterinary clinic for my wife, and a scanner,

an operating room, everything we talked about.

-The cost of that would be-- -I'm aware, Lefèvre.

I'm aware.

There she is. Our famous Belle Intrigante.

You've most certainly proven yourself with her, mm?

We've never seen gains rise so fast on a trotter.

And he is Conspirer.

Hopefully, the first in a long line of champions.

Hopefully, my friend. Hopefully.

And we'll put in a round pen right here.

On the other side, we'll build about a dozen paddocks,

and the most important thing in breeding champions

is right there, the track.

Huh.

It'll start here and go all the way to the shore.

It'll be made up of 15 centimeters of cinder or ash,

exactly like the track in Vincennes.

1975 meters, it'll be the longest one around.

Managing the stud farm, the stables, driving, riding, training--

sounds like a big job for just one man, no?

Uh, we have come from generations of horse people,

so hiring more people to do a job

-that I can do best, well, then, you're familiar with my team-- - Boss?

Excuse me, Séb, I'm in a meeting. If you have any doubts

-or if you wanna halt-- Yes? - Boss?

-Marie needs you right away. -Okay, okay, okay.

-Just tell her I'm coming. -She told me,

uh, she said to Séb, "Séb, get Philippe right now."

Okay. Go on now, I-- I'm coming.

- Right now. -Okay.

Right now.

He's, uh, a bit, uh, special, that young man, no?

-No, he's, uh, he's different, but he's... -Oh.

-...amazing with horses. -Mm.

Would you excuse me a moment? It's my daughter.

She's, uh, she's a little special as well.

So, uh, have a look around, take your time.

-Make yourself at home. -Well--

Okay.

- - Sorry,

I didn't know they were still here. So?

Well, uh, he seems okay, it's his assistant I'm worried about.

-Oh, yeah? -Why's she so cranky?

Yeah, he doesn't look sold to me.

-What's the matter, huh? -Here, take her, I need a break.

-What's the matter, my little demon? -

Why do you have to keep crying like that

all the time, huh? Oh, yeah, yeah,

I'm crying, I'm crying.

Pediatrician says she's doing great.

I think she's just trying to drive us nuts.

I love you, hon. But I need to sleep for a bit, okay?

-All right. -Uh, but I-- I, I'm working, I'm working!

It's non-negotiable. I can't take it.

-Haddid! Haddid! Come here, hurry! - What?

-Here, take her. Just take her! -What's the matter?

A tide's coming in and I have to do my training.

-Wait, I-- -Go on, take her.

-Thanks. -Bu-- Philippe!

- -

What's wrong?

Are you gonna bust our balls much longer, huh?

-So? -You gained two seconds because you got fatter.

What? I'm not getting fatter.

Yeah, you are. You quit smoking, so you're eating more.

No, no, no! It's because the sand is wet, all right?

Come on. Get on.

It's cold.

You miss Camargue?

No, as long as there's horses.

You think I'm getting fat?

Yeah, you're getting fat.

- Yeah, I am not. -

-Ah, thank you! -

Oh.

-She's gonna love this. She loves everything I do. - Yes...

- -

Oh, here we go again.

-I'm so sorry, I-- Don't wait for me. -

Too bad for the girls.

-To Sandy Stables, business partner. -And you're future residents.

In ten years, well, possibly.

Hmm.

You know what my ultimate dream is?

It's to settle down in this beautiful country of trotters.

And to win the Grand Prix d'Amérique.

See you in New York.

I'm terribly sorry.

That was the Hamburg Gallery.

The painting sold for the asking price.

Well done, darling.

If she keeps that up, she'll be the one buying this place.

- -

Is that your daughter crying like that?

-Here you go. Thank you. -Sorry, it's not terribly practical.

- -You're very brave.
