03x08 - All That Glitters

[bunniefuu]

[Horses snort]

[Clopping of hooves]

Are you sure we're going the right way?

This is definitely it.

[Horse snorts]

[Belle neighs] StevieWhoa!

Belle, what's wrong?

Whoa!

What's wrong, Belle?

LisaThere.

Look.

CaroleIt's a mine, isn't it?

Your juices, miladies.

Ha ha ha!

Whoop!

[Girls squeal]

Glitter juice always misbehaves.

Ha ha ha!

Granddad, we're trying to do our history homework.

History?

Oh, I've got all the history you need right here.

Back in ,

the escaped elephants that I recaptured

with my bare hands...

[All laugh]

Or maybe it was '.

Ah, the big locomotive

that I pulled with my teeth?

[All laugh]

Thanks, Mr. Cooper,

but we're almost finished.

Oh, please,

you may address me as the Great Orlando,

"strongest man in the world,"

or, if you prefer...

Orlando the Great.

Ooh!

CaroleHey!

LisaHi, guys!

We found something.

It looks like a mine entrance.

OrlandoOne of the old gold mines.

There are quite a few around here.

I didn't know there was gold in Willow Creek.

They tried to keep it quiet.

They didn't want a stampede.

LisaDid you ever find any?

Oh, I found some...

Ha ha! Now how did that get there?

Wow.

Do I have one, too?

It's only fool's gold.

It's not worth anything.

OrlandoReal gold has to want to be found.

It's everywhere out there,

just waiting for the right person

to come along.

[Orlando chuckles]

[Donkey brays]

[All laugh]

Do you think there still could be some gold left?

Imagine all the stuff we could buy if we found it.

I'd start my own shelter for injured horses.

I'd buy us all new western saddles.

As if you could ever afford that.

We could if we found the gold.

Gold?

What are you talking about?

My grandfather says there's gold all around here,

leftover from the mining days.

"The great Orlando?"

Who believes a word that crazy old man says?

He's not crazy.

If he did know where to find gold,

he'd be living in a big house right now,

instead of that dirty old trailer.

Granddad says circus folk never live in houses.

What a weak excuse.

Weak like your granddad is.

"The strongest man in the world."

Granddad is strong, still.

StevieShe really drives me crazy.

Whoa.

[Horse snorts]

Not so fast there, buddy.

Just stay calm, Simon.

A horse can tell you're nervous

just by the tone in your voice.

Nervous? Me?

DesiCome on, Midnight.

I'm just happy I don't have to ride that monster.


[Midnight neighs] Oh!

Are you OK?

I'm fine.

Just a little accident.

That was no accident.

I'm telling you, that horse is evil.

[Grunting]

[Grunting]

VeronicaWeak like your granddad is.

"The strongest man in the world."

Veronica shouldn't say those things.

What?

He's still the Great Orlando.

He is!

What's wrong with Jess?

Veronica flashback.

Veronica needs to pick on someone her own size.

She usually doesus.

Well, she won't get away with it this time.

To really get Veronica,

we have to think like Veronica.

Mean?

Snobby?

No. Sneaky.

Hi there, young ladies.

Jess and Melanie were here just a second ago...

LisaActually, Orlando...

could we talk to you a little bit more

about those gold mines?

How're things going with Midnight?

Good. Really good.

How's your foot?

It's fine.

I should've watched where I was going.

This is not the first time

something like this has happened, is it?

It's all my fault.

What is?

I'm doing everything wrong.

I don't believe so.

He's worth a fortune,

and I can't control him.

Money is not the only way

to judge a horse's worth, Desi.

You're a good rider,

and whatever the matter is with Midnight,

I'm positive it's got nothing to do with you.

Can you keep a secret?

Are you sure?

I promise.

What is it? Tell me.

We found this...

near the mine on the new trail.

We checked with Orlando.

It's real gold.

Wow.

Carole[Whispers] There's got to be heaps more gold

where that came from.

But remember, you can't tell anyone.

I won't. Promise.

[Midnight whinnies]

How's the bad boy this morning?

Mrs. Reg thinks his last owner treated him badly,

so he doesn't trust people.

Oh, OK.

My dad says I can start afresh with a new horse

once we sell him.

You mean, um...

Midnight is leaving Pine Hollow?

Yeah.

Sounds like a great idea.

That's my dad.

He sees a problem, he fixes it.

MelanieThey made me promise not to tell,

but you and Trouble don't count.

We don't keep secrets.

What secrets?

What's everyone whispering about?

Nothing.

I'm not talking to you.

If this is about your crazy grandfather,

then I'm not interested.

JessHe's not crazy!

He was right.

The Saddle Club found gold at the mine

on the new trail.

Sorry, but she...

[Sighs]

Mrs. RegIt's not that simple, Desi.

You can't sell a horse

without being honest about its problems.

But that's how he was sold to us!

Exactly.

And do you really want that to happen to somebody else?

Midnight needs lots of time and care

before he's ready for a new owner.

But there's no way

Dad's going to buy me another horse

while I've still got Midnight.

You've got to be honest, Desi.


There is no other way.

[Gasps]

[Girls laugh]

I'd say she definitely fell for it.

[Girls laugh]

VeronicaA gold heart-shaped pendant,

and I want diamonds around the whole shape,

not just half.

I know they're expensive.

Trust me, money is no problem.

MelanieDo you think we have enough bags to carry the gold?

If not, Granddad will bring it back.

He's so strong...still.

[Trouble brays]

[Midnight snorts]

[Crying]

[Midnight neighs]

Hey, Midnight.

Enjoy it while you still can.

Don't say that!

What? What did I say?

My dad's going to put him down.

Put him down?

As in...forever?

[Sniffs]

What happened to selling him?

We can't,

not the way he is!

And dad says keeping him would be like

throwing good money after bad.

But maybe if you ask nicely...

My father sees a problem,

he fixes it.

SimonPoor Midnight.

[Trouble brays]

I don't see any gold.

Me, neither.

It must be in there.

So we have to go in?

Looks like it.

JessWhen we find the gold,

Veronica will have to say sorry

for calling Granddad crazy.

Let's get the lamp.

[Shaft boards creak]

Can you see any gold?

I don't think it'll just be lying around, Jess.

Let's hurry.

This place creeps me out.

What's that in the wall over there?

Oh, yeah.

I see it.

So what do we do now?

MelanieHit it, I suppose.

Here goes.

[Low creaking]

[Dirt falls, low creaking]

[Creaking gets louder, more dirt scatters]

Oh, no!

What's happening?

[Girls scream]

[Trouble brays]

[Midnight neighs and snorts]

Hi there, Midnight.

[Neighs]

It's me, Simon.

Um, I know we haven't really hung out much or anything,

but I just wanted you to know...

I'm really sorry.

I heard about...

about where you're going, and that's really rough.

If that happened to me every time I messed up...

I don't even want to think about it.

What I'm saying is,

I know I said a lot of mean stuff about you,

[Snorts]

but you deserve a second chance.

[Neighs]

Everybody does.

Maybe you're not so evil after all.

[Neighs]

Please don't hurt me.

[Snorts softly]

[Jess coughs]

Melanie! Melanie!

Are you OK?

[Coughs]

I don't know.

I can't move.

You've got a big bit of wood on top of you.

Somebody's going to come and help us, right?

Yeah...

[Melanie coughs]

If they can find us.

I wish we had a photo of Veronica

digging around in the dirt

and getting all her clothes messed up.

I don't need a photo.

I'll remember that forever.

[Girls laugh]


[Horse neighs loudly]

Who's that?

LisaOh, It's Orlando.

[Girls laugh]

Have you girls seen Jess?

Not since this morning.

CaroleShe's probably with Melanie and Trouble

and forgot the time.

Would they be digging around here somewhere?

Digging?

My lamp and pick have gone.

I think we know where they might be.

This thing is squashing me.

It's too big for me to lift.

You'll be OK.

What if nobody comes?

They'll come.

We're going to make this together.

You've got to hang on.

[Horses neigh]

[Trouble brays]

LisaThat's Trouble!

OrlandoGirls! Wait! It's not safe!

This is all our fault, Orlando!

Whoa...

Girls, wait!

LisaThey're in there, aren't they?

StevieThat's my bet.

Girls, wait!

LisaMelanie!

OrlandoJessie!

They must be behind that.

We need help.

I'll go.

We've got to move all this stuff.

Be careful. It's unstable.

But they might be running out of air in there.

Melanie!

Jessie! Melanie!

Melanie!

OrlandoJessie, can you hear us?

LisaMelanie!

Melanie!

Melanie!

Did you hear that?

OrlandoJessie! LisaHold on!

Melanie!

Jessie, Jessie, can you hear me?

We're here! Help!

We're in here! Help us!

Help us! We're in here!

Granddad!

It's them!

Hold on, Jessie.

We're almost through.

Hurry!

[Lisa coughs]

We're through!

Oh, Melanie, are you hurt?

JessShe's completely stuck

under that big bit of wood.

OrlandoOh, no.

I'm going to have to lift it.

Can you do it, Granddad?

I'm the Great Orlando, aren't I?

Go, Granddad.

[Orlando grunts]

You can do it. I know you can.

[Deep breaths]

[Grunting]

Way to go!

Wow!

OrlandoGo now! Go!

Get out now!

Come on, guys!

Go!

JessCome on, Melanie!

[Trouble brays]

[Creaks and rumbles]

[Crash]

[Coughs]

[Trouble brays]

[Orlando laughs]

We're sorry, Mel.

Mwah!

Are you OK? Not too hurt?

[Blender whirs]

It's a lot like yours, I guess,

but my pendant has diamonds

all the way around it.

Sounds great.

Do you want to come down and pick it up with me?

I'm still upset about Midnight.

Jewelry always cheers me up.

[Girls giggling, indistinct chatter]

StevieHi, Veronica.

What do you want?

Jess has something to tell you.

JessYou should say sorry

because you were wrong about my granddad.


I don't think so.

We saw him lift a hunk of wood

the size of a tree

like it was a twig.

Cheap circus trick.

You were sucked in.

No, you were sucked in.

I doubt it.

By the Saddle Club.

We shouldn't have tricked you,

and we promise we won't do it again.

What are you talking about?

Veronica, that "gold nugget" you found--

VeronicaWait.

How do you know about that?

Were you following me?

We put it there.

It's fool's gold.

As if.

How dumb do you think I am?

It's true.

We were trying to get you back for teasing Jess.

It was all a big joke.

No, this is the big joke,

and I'm not falling for it.

So if you'll excuse me,

I've got to go and pick up my pendant.

Fool's gold isn't worth a thing, right?

I guess she'll figure it out.

Eventually.

[Girls laugh]

If it was my last meal,

I'd probably go for chocolate ice cream,

but this is pretty good, too.

Huh, Midnight?

[Crunching]

I'm not going to let them

do anything to you, Midnight.

Mrs. RegI'm with you on that, Simon.

[Midnight neighs]

[Neighs]
