Have you ever felt the bond,
an instant connection?
Once upon a time, there was a brave wild stallion.
He was as free as the wind
and as strong as the granite peaks
he was born in the shadows of.
His bravery earned him the name Bravo.
He was magnificent in every way.
We didn't know each other yet,
but we were destined to change one another,
to set each other free.
It all began one summer day in Malibu.
Hey, Zoe, hottie alert.
Ooh, hello.
I love summer, no school, no schedule.
- Time to get caught up on celeb gossip and fashion.
Who wore it best?
I think she rocked it.
I love how full her skirt is.
She always looks so cute.
Her boots are amazing.
Totally want those boots and that dress.
Her outfit is disgusting.
She looks like an 80-year-old granny.
Hey, get over here!
You throw that ball.
Okay, if you had to wear one of these,
which one would you choose?
Okay, definitely not that one.
It looks like she's wearing a garbage bag.
What about you?
Hmm, this one, for sure.
I love how it flows.
You know, it's girly yet edgy.
- Yeah, I'm sure Chase would love to see you in that.
Oh, my gosh, Chase!
He's so hot!
But he doesn't even know I'm alive.
Ugh.
Who is it?
It's my dad.
He is so annoying.
You know, he always asks the same questions.
"Where are you? What are you doing?"
"Are there any boys around?"
However, he is giving me my own credit card next week,
so I tolerate him.
Well, just see what he wants.
Hi, daddy.
I'm at the beach with Willow.
He's literally almost here.
Way to give me five seconds' notice.
I can't wait, daddy.
Ugh.
I'm sorry, Willow, but my dad wants to take me to lunch.
- (sighs) I know your dad can be annoying and everything,
but I can't relate, 'cause I don't even know who my dad is.
I don't even know his name.
I know nothing about him.
Well, what does your mom say?
- She says she'll explain more when I'm older.
How old?
It's starting to drive me insane.
I suddenly just want to know who he is.
But what if it's bad?
What do you mean?
- Like, what if he's, like, a loser and a really bad guy,
and that's why she doesn't want you to know?
Well, look at it this way,
at least you don't have an overprotective dad
who tells you what you can and can't do all the time.
That's true.
Well, love you.
Mean it.
Daddy!
Well, bank's reducing our credit limit.
We're slowly drowning.
- Can't buy it with cash, we don't need it.
- What do you think about starting the dude ranch up again?
Oh...
Lord help us.
Them city folk drive me crazy.
Oh, most of 'em are all right.
Oh, a horsefly's got more sense.
You talking about that guy from Boston?
- Yeah, I must have told that fella at least 10 times,
"Don't go behind the horse
unless you let her know you're there."
- I think he did two cartwheels before he landed.
Well, we did meet some nice people that way, though.
You just catch Bravo.
We'll make them bills.
Remember that girl Katie from Malibu?
- Every time you get lonesome, you mention her.
I should've held on to her.
Too different, you, her.
I guess.
- Make sure the white candles are lining the carpet.
Susan from the Malibu Times is going to be there.
Well, figure it out. (sighs)
You're late.
The PCH traffic was crazy.
You're always late.
- You're gonna be 10 minutes late to dance class, honey.
I'm sorry, but I'm only one person.
- You're the one who chose to be a single parent, not me.
Whoa!
Where did this come from?
- Why don't I know anything about my father?
Why can't you even tell me his name?
Really, Willow?
This is the exact wrong day to talk about this.
Will there ever be a good day?
- It's really hard for me to go there, Willow.
Yeah, and it's hard for me not to know
who my father is, if I even have one.
Mom, we're so close in so many ways,
but then there's this huge barrier between us.
- Willow, I really can't deal with this right now.
I have a huge event tomorrow night, a gazillion emails,
and our maid's been sick for a week.
- You're comparing me wanting to know about the person
who makes a path of who I am to our sick housekeeper?
Really, mom?
I'm sorry.
It's just bad timing.
Bad timing for who, you?
You tell me to stand up for myself,
but what you mean to say is stand up for myself
when the time's convenient,
stand up for myself when it won't rock the boat!
Stop it, Willow, right now.
Calm down.
No, you calm down.
- Look, I promise we will talk about this soon.
Yeah, it will be soon.
Hey, Grizz, it's Jack.
You got time to visit?
- I don't remember inviting you over, Jack.
But since you made an effort to come see me,
what's on your mind?
Grizz, I got a buyer for Bravo.
It's a good one.
Let me have him.
(chuckles) What makes you think
I'm gonna give you something for nothing?
Grizz, Top and I, we're not making it.
You got a big, successful operation going here,
and Bravo won't affect your bottom line.
We're catching Bravo, Jack.
- And there ain't a thing you can do about it.
Shut up, boys!
Here, Jack look here.
Now, I own every acre within 10 miles,
and there's your little ranch.
Well, it's kind of an annoying fly to me.
Sell it to me, and I'll give you the stallion.
It's all I got, Grizz.
It's all I want.
I'll pay you more than it's worth.
I might even let you still live in the house.
Maybe I'll even give you a job.
It's my family's homestead, Grizz.
- You got to be a fool not to take my offer.
No deal.
Then I'm gonna keep the stallion.
And I'm gonna buy your ranch at half price
from the bank once you lose it.
- Is that what you're teaching these boys, greed?
Boys, today's the day we catch Bravo.
Now, Jack, why don't you go on back to your ranch?
Enjoy it while you still can.
We'll see you, Jack.
Willow!
I'm home.
Willow?
Hello?
Okay, Raphael, calm down.
Take a deep breath and just go to the flower market
and get all the white roses that they have.
I got to go.
What's going on?
Is this my dad?
My other half?
His name's Jack.
Who is he?
- He's just a guy that I knew a long time ago.
Like, did you know him 15 years ago?
Yes, honey.
Jack's your father, Willow.
I'm sorry, honey.
I didn't want you to find out like this.
Dude get over here!
It's Bravo's last day of freedom, pa.
Maybe.
Don't embarrass me today.
