01x10 - Andalusians

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Ride...

Cheyenne, five months
from now, you and I

are gonna be doing
business together.

- What about them dancing
horses from Spain?

- And delusions?

- You gotta use this. Trust me.

- Tucker threatened our family.

That's why Austin asked
for my help.

- He rigged the system
so that he would draw

the hardest bull, Hurricane.

And it k*lled him, Cash!
You wanna end up like Austin?

- You are so concerned
with everyone else,

I wonder if you're ignoring
your own.

Smile for the camera.

as*ault looks real good on tape.

I'm not the bad guy here.
You came to me.

All I did was cover
your brother's debts.

Not my fault he couldn't
pay them back.

- He didn't need money, Tucker.

He had the sponsorship.

- Why did he throw rides for me?

- What?

Right...

You were off the grid.

Told me he couldn't get
a hold of you.

You know, if anything,

I deserve a thank you
for keeping my mouth shut

the past year and a half.

If it were to get out that
the great Austin McMurray

cheated at the sport he loved,

gambled...

that might tank
the whole family.

Ranch, your career...

his pretty little widow.
- Shut your mouth!

- Cash?

- Mom, thank God.

All right, I gotta hit the road

if I'm gonna make Cheyenne.

- Remember when all we had
to worry about

was a hairline fracture?

- I should've just kept quiet
until after Cheyenne.

- No, Val, that's not...

You have kept this family's

secrets for long enough.

Isabel will bail him out,
we'll have plenty of time

to get to Cheyenne.

- Hey, did you deposit
that Booker check?

- No, I just got it.

- Well, I just got off the phone
with the bank

and they say they're gonna
repo the tractor.

- What?

- Repo, jail,

what's the third bad thing?

Gus.

- You're being so
self-destructive, Cash.

What are you doing?
- Mom. Mom.

This is the guy who threw
Austin's focus on that day.

That's not fair.

You McMurray boys are easy bait.
- Shut up!

- See what I mean?
- What is he talking about?

- Mom, he set me up, okay?
The cops were on me immediately.

- He did not. I asked Hank
to send help to protect you.

- Wait, you...
you called the cops?

- Yeah, I didn't think
you'd be arrested.

- Good call, ma'am.

Your boy's got
a problem in the head.

- Okay, we can talk about
this later, all right?

I gotta get on the road.

- ... Sorry, I g...
- What?

I can't, Cash.

I just... I can't.
- Mom, where are you going?

Mom!

Mom, please don't do this!

Mom!

Who ever said jail
was boring?

- I heard what my dad did about
trying to stiff you on the bill,

and I'm so sorry.

- It's fine.

It's just not really fine,

but your mom did end up
paying, so...

- Yeah, I know. And...

I know I fell in
on you here, um,

I just came to apologize,
but not just about my dad.

Um, you finally opened up

and were gonna go all in
and take a leap of faith

after everything
you've been through.

And I just got scared.

- So you abandoned her?
- Val.

- No, she's right.

I would take it back
if I could.

It's not an excuse,
it's just the truth because...

the truth is, I got scared

because I'm falling
in love with you.

- Okay...
- We're gonna go.

I didn't mean to--
- No, it's...

It's...

I don't know what to say.
I mean, obviously,

there's a lot of feelings,
it's just...

this is a lot.
- I know.

And I hurt you.

- It's also been a really
hard couple of days.

- I'm so sorry
if I made it worse.

- They're really pretty.

Look, Gus, the thing is,
today is Cheyenne.

- I didn't even realize.
- No, no, it's fine.

It's just, can you give me like
just 24 hours to get through it?

- Yeah, of course.
Take all the time you need.

- Thanks.

- And good luck.
- Thanks.

Here, I'll... I'll walk you out.

Where's Cash?

Isabel.

Where's Cash?

- Isabel, what did you do?

- Mom, why are you alone?

- Did... did you need
more bail money?

- That's not it.
- Is he injured?

- Did you leave him there?

- Mom, you did not leave
Cash in jail.

- I am sorry, but this
is not happening again.

Not on my watch.

- Hell, for the record,

I am sorry your brother died.

I never wanted that.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure.

He was a big source
of income for you?

Is that where all our
sponsorship money went?

Inside of your pockets?
- Not even.

I worked with the guy
maybe four months tops.

- But you made it seem like
he was a big, you know,

a big-time high roller.

- Well, for those few months,
he was.

It's not like he was one
of my hardcore guys, you know.

Just needed a certain lump sum.

- A lump sum for what?
- I don't know. Got greedy.

All I'm saying is once you get
that hunger for that green...

I mean, you must know
what that's like.

You know, with the sponsorship
bank dried up.

Is that why you guys
are hosting weddings?

You know, there is
an easier way.

- You gotta be kidding me.
- What?

There's been a lot of talk
about you on the circuit.

So...

I gin up a bunch of bets,
you go full eight seconds.

What, you don't think
I will?

- You make sure you don't.

And you and me,
we split, 50-50.

No.

- No.
- Wow.

Big bro would be
so proud of you.

Trying to fill his big
championship boots.

Just had an injury.
You're not him.

Then what?

Cash got no cash.

Tucker Clarke.

You posted bail.

- So, what do you say?

- I say it doesn't matter.

I'm stuck in here.

- Well, my buddy's with
the bonds guy right now.

Got a bit of extra change
for you.

Tick-tock.

- All of our hard work,
your hard work...

- But if he's not okay,

I don't need to remind
anyone here.

I was in the ring when--
- I know.

And nobody wants Cash riding

if he's not in the right
mind space.

- Isabel asked you
to do this job, not her.

So, what do you think?

- I think I should probably
see for myself.

- Hey, Mom. Hank's here.

- Staging an intervention?

- I might've given him a call.
- Tuff...

Janine, there's a song
I wrote I wanted to show you.

- Okay, I can hear it later.

- It'll sound great
in your voice.

- Bye, Dad!

- So, you left him in jail.

- I really don't want or need
a lecture right now, Hank.

- Isabel.
- Look, in my defence,

he got himself in there.

- Well, with our help,
but you left him there.

- I can't. I can't
let it happen again.

It was right there,
right in front of me.

Tucker Clarke getting
in his head

like he did with Austin.

- Okay.

So, you stop him
from going to Cheyenne.

But then, what? I mean,
what about the next rodeo?

- I have been as supportive
as I can in spite of...

My god, look at my life, Hank!

- You left him in jail.

I am trying to put

a brave face on this.

- Don't.

Don't put a brave face on it.

Isabel, just be brave.

Coming from someone
who knows you

almost as well as I know myself,

just let go, Bel.

Your dad here to play
some Jedi mind tricks on Isabel?

'Cause he better work fast.

- I don't know about anyone's
Jedi mind tricks,

but the Hicksons will be
going to Cheyenne.

- Wow! That is like,
so supportive of you.

- Thanks.

Tuff, what was that you said
about a new song?

I just said that
to get you up here.

Well, I submitted
your original song

to the big Battle of the Bands
in Texas.

- What?
- And we got in!

- You submitted my song
without discussing it with me?

- Yeah! I mean, come on.
It'll be fun.

We'll road trip down,
we'll list out their bands,

we'll eat really good food--
- Do I look like I've got time

for a Battle of the Bands
right now?

Okay. Wow.

I guess ranch life gets
in the way of your dreams again.

- Wait, what's that
supposed to mean?

- Isn't it kind of obvious?

Every other McMurray
gets to go after their dreams,

but I guess that's not the way
the cookie crumbles for Tuff.

- Look, I've got a repo guy
coming, 600 cows to feed,

a brother to bail out of jail
if my mother will even let me.

It's not--
- Okay, I'm...

We'll talk about this later.

Not later.

Never.
- Tuff...

- Janine,

Tuff is the glue that holds
this family together,

and he wanted to be foreman,

he practically fought me
for it.

Trust me, no one is telling
Tuff what to do.

- Bottom line is this family
is happy to have him

bailing stalls or bailing
his brother out of jail,

but I don't think I've ever
heard any of you

ask him what he really wants.

Hi, I'm here
to post bail for Cash McMurray.

- McMurray. He's been released.

Someone already posted for him.

- Hey, what are you doing here?

- Well, I came to get you out.

We've gotta go to Cheyenne.

- You got my gear?
- Yeah, of course.

It's not my first rodeo.

- I assumed you were in line
with my mother.

- Came to get you, didn't I?

So, who ended up
bailing you out?

Hank?

You okay?

So...

Tucker?

- I know it was stupid,
but he deserved it.

It's just after all that time

thinking it was that
conversation between you and me

that got in Austin's head.

I mean, I could barely even
look at you

for the whole first year after.

- I know.

I should've known something
was going on with him.

- He knew how to keep secrets.

- He was my husband, Cash.
- Yeah, but still,

he was only working for Tucker
for four months.

You're not a mind reader.

- Wait, four months?

- I don't know.

I feel like we both wanted

to find someone to blame
for all this

but the truth is,

Austin's death wasn't our fault.

Yeah, he could make that ride
a thousand more times

and come out unscathed.

But he didn't.

- I guess you are ready
to ride after all.

I didn't realize
I was still being assessed.

- All right, let's go.
I don't wanna be late.

- Missy already left?

- Yeah, she went to get Cash

and now they're on their
way to Cheyenne.

- Look, Ma, you made
Missy his coach.

If she trusts him
and she wants to ride,

I'm getting in the ring
with him.

- Well, if Missy trusts him,
then so do I.

There's no way I'm not
gonna watch my son ride.

- We better hit the road if
we're gonna get there on time.

- Well, looks like
we're all going to Cheyenne.

- All right. Let's go.

He proposed to me with this.

Yeah, it proved that he knew me
better than anyone else.

- It's beautiful?
- Yeah.

- You're ready?
- Yeah.

Mr. Wooten.

- Hello.
- Missy, Cash.

Well, a lot of build up
to this day.

You're feeling ready?
- Never better.

Hudson.
- How's that wrist?

JB told me that's why you
couldn't make it out to Denver.

- Yeah, yeah. Well,
thanks to my coach here,

now I got two good riding hands.

- Impressive.

- You got a lot of eyes
on you today, Cash.

And you, Hudson.

Both excellent riders
and I've kicked this decision

down the road long enough,
so I'll tell you what.

Whoever gets the top score today
gets the sponsorship.

Simple as that.

- Sounds good to me.
- Challenge accepted.

- May the best man win.

Missy, I need to talk to you.

- Look, I know things with
Frontier and me have been,

well, rocky, but I do stand
by the decision I've made

at the Miss Rodeo.
- And I can respect that.

And the work you've done
for us is strong.

I just don't think this
is the gig for you, Missy.

- You know, I'm used to being

a competitor and doing
things my way.

- Well, you don't have
to explain it to me.

Like you said
right from the get-go,

you are more than just
a bull rider's widow.

And I happen to think
you're more than just

a brand ambassador
who gets told when to show up

and what to say.

- Thank you?
- Well, don't worry,

that was a compliment.

- Thank you. I appreciate it.

Now, please just...
sign my athlete.

- It's out of my hands now,
Missy.

Your boy's gonna have
to earn it.

- Hey, Missy.
How is he? Is he ready to ride?

Yeah, I think so.

How's Isabel? Is she ready
to disown me from the ranch

for breaking her son
out of jail?

- She's good.

She's here to support him.
And you.

You okay?
- Yeah, it's just...

been an interesting day.

- Hey, you did it!
- You made it!

- How does it feel?

- Not a bad way
to start off a tour.

- Right.

Look, I know I haven't
gotten you an answer yet.

- Good thing I didn't even ask.
- I know, I know, I just...

I want you to know I'm not not
thinking about it.

- All you have to think about

is getting back in that ring
with your brother

and showing Cheyenne some
of your Tuff McMurray pride.

You're a brave man, Tuff.

- Thanks, champ.

It is not often
you see a recovery like that!

Ladies and gentlemen,
coming around the free yard

and keeping the balance
all along.

Keeping the legs moving!
What do you say?!

That was a bull ride!

- I did my part.
You good to go on yours?

- Yeah.

- Hey. What are you
talking to him?

- Who?
- Tucker. I just saw you.

- He bailed me out.
- Just saying thanks.

- Why?

- It's the decent thing
to do, Val.

- No, I meant why
he'd bail you out?

'Cause a guy like that
doesn't do anything

out of the kindness
of his heart.

You struck a deal with him.

- Val.
- No, it's not worth it.

I don't care if the repo guy
comes for the whole ranch.

- Wait, what repo guy?

... I thought
Missy told you.

Look, it's...
it's fine. It's all good.

We got a check from the Bookers.

- The Bookers, they...

They're dropping
the bucket, Val.

There's a lot more
riding on this.

I gotta draw my bull.

- N...

- As you all know,

we're gonna be doing things

a little differently this year.

We're going back to the basics.

You'll be picking your bulls
straight out of this hat.

Best of luck.

- I got Bonanza.

- He'll get big points.

You, on the other hand...
- Hey.

I didn't have trouble
placing top three in Denver.

Wait.
You weren't there to see it.

What? You get a clunker?

- Cash?

Out of all the bulls...

- We can switch.
We'll just talk to Barbara.

- Yeah, rules are rules.

- Okay, so what,
you are in jail once,

now all of a sudden,
you're a rule follower?

- Hurricane?

- I told him he could
get it switched.

- It's fine.
- Anyone would understand.

- It's fine.
- Maybe I'm not fine.

I don't wanna get in the ring
again with that--

- You're the best bull fighter
out there. You got this.

- Why are you giving me
a pep talk?

- Yeah, good question.
- I don't know, I...

I think maybe it's a good thing,
come face to face with him.

- Maybe let's not come
face to face?

- Just a bull, Tuff.

And you and I aren't gonna be
intimidated by an animal.

As we're reaching
the midway point of our rodeo..

- Isabel.
- Barbara.

Hey, hi. Good to see you.

- Isabel.

He's riding Hurricane.

- Hur... Hurricane? He's...

- I just wanted to give
you a heads up.

It was totally random.

- No, no, no. No. Barbara.

He needs another bull.
- Isabel.

Cash said he's okay with it.

- What?
- I can't make him switch.

- He doesn't know it's okay.

- Missy.

If you want me to do something
about the bull...

- No, thank you, Polly.

I think I'll handle things
myself this time.

Cash says he's fine with it.

I guess him and Austin
are different.

- Yeah, he is.

Missy...

Good luck.

- Missy!
- What?

- I just heard.

- What, what? About Hurricane?

Cash says he's fine with it.

- Yeah,
'cause I think he made

an arrangement with Tucker.
- What?

- I saw them talking
just before.

That's who bailed him out.

And now, hearing that Cash
is okay

just riding the bull
that k*lled his brother? I...

Missy, Austin threw rides
for Tucker.

- And Hurricane would be
a perfect excuse

for Cash to do the same thing.

Clearly,
Hudson Cooper

is the favourite here tonight.

He's riding the bull Bonanza.

Now, this kid has been
on the roll all season.

He is the one to beat.

- He's good,
but Austin was better.

Hudson Cooper
everybody!

- That was a good ride.
- He tops the leaderboard

with a score of 89
and a half points!

- 89.5, good luck beating
that one, McMurray. Woo!

- It's a nice ride.

- Forget him.

You're the best there is.

Tuff.

What if I get bucked off
before the eight seconds, man?

- You won't.

- Yeah, but what... thank you.
What if I do?

- You're not going to.

Cash?
- Yeah.

- This ride is for Austin,
for Mom,

for the whole family.

Here tonight
on Hurricane, Cash McMurray.

Now, the crowd can't wait
to see what he's got.

He's coming off an injury.

Everyone here is wondering...

Cash!

Cash, wait!

Excuse me. Cash, Cash.

Listen to me.
You are not your brother.

In the best possible way.

Okay? And you've worked
hard for this.

Don't you dare take
the easy way out, okay?

It's not worth it.

Don't you dare.

Yeah.

- Come on, Cash!

- Three...
- Come on.

Woo!

- Ya, ya, ya!
Get out of there!

- Woo! Yes!

Good job! Good job, Cash!

- Woo!
- We'll talk later.

Whoa! Woo!

- Yes!
- Woo!

Cash McMurray!

Here are the final standings

for this year's national
Cheyenne rodeo,

our new champion with a score

of 91 and a half points

is Cash McMurray!

Yes!

- Ooh!
- Yes!

- Woo!

All right! Yes!

Yeah, baby!

Yes! Woo!

What a crazy day
we've had.

I don't even know how
I'm still standing.

Well... It's okay.

- We at Frontier have always
prided ourselves

on being a family company.

And so, it is with great pride

that we renew our commitment
to the McMurray family.

And I would just like to offer
my personal congratulations

to Cash for being named
the new face of Frontier Jeans.

To Cash.

Thank you.

Thanks, Mr. Wooten.
I appreciate that.

Um...

I just wanna thank you guys
for for supporting me.

- Begrudgingly.
- Yeah, begrudgingly.

But still, you know,
all the sacrifices

you guys have made...

Hank, you know,

working so hard
behind the scenes

to get this thing happening.

Tuff taking
a step back on the ranch

to get back in the ring with me.

I love you, buddy.
Val stepping up

to help out with him
when he needed it.

Mom,

to let go and to cheer me on
in spite of everything...

You're the bravest person
I know.

- To Isabel.
- To Isabel.

And of course, my coach.

Missy, thank you.

Lastly,

definitely wouldn't have
been here without

my brother, Austin,
and my dad.

Cheers, everyone.

Cheers.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Thank you.

For forgiving me.

- Love makes you do
crazy things.

- Yes, it does.

- I think a celebration
is in order.

I...

got something for you, boys.
- No way.

Is that Dad's buckle?

- I don't even wanna know
how you got this.

- I would do anything
for this family.

- Where is Missy?
- She went back.

It's been a long day.

- What?
- It's just that...

Gus came by earlier

with an apology
and some flowers and...

he told her he loved her.

- He said he was
falling in love...

which is different.

- Guys, it's fine. I'm...

And what... what did she say?

- She said she had
to get you to Cheyenne.

- Cash?

- What are you gonna do?

Well...

I don't...

Just want her to be happy.

- You know, this could be
your last chance.

Anyway.

Speaking of happiness,
I'm looking at you, Tuff.

If you wanna take off for a bit,

you deserve to do whatever
your heart wants

just like the rest of us.

- Suddenly so serious.

Yeah, well...

Consider it Janine's Jedi
mind tricks.

But for real, I mean,

you do everything for everyone
else around here.

You wanna go travelling
with Julian, then...

- We can all hold down the fort.

- Good to know.

- When did you...?

- Earlier.

In your truck.
It fell out of your gear bag.

- And you didn't say anything?

- I didn't say anything?

- Fair enough.

- Cash, that horse...

it matches the horses
on my engagement ring box.

The Andalusians.

That box was the only thing
that made me think

that Austin knew me better
than anyone else.

Did you give it to him?

I knew
it'd make you happy.

- And what about that?

It's got my name on it.

And is that from him or is that
from you as well?

- Doesn't really matter.
It was a long time ago.

Stop saying
it doesn't matter.

This is my life,
my understanding

of the person I chose.

- Yeah, you already chose him.

- Because he chose me.

You always just sat by.

- Loving you,

for me, means wanting
what's best for you.

- Maybe...

you don't always know
what's best for me.

- So, one of them
gave you flowers

and one of them gave you
a necklace?

- Well, he never actually
gave me the necklace,

he's just had it
for all these years.

Why does it have
to be either or?

Do you remember who you were

before you had McMurray
as a last name?

- What, are you talking about
my glorious pageant days?

- No, the ambitious teenager

that rebelled
against her own mother

to risk her life on a horse.

There's a customer
who mentioned there's a new

Competitive Trick Riding
Association in Albuquerque.

Made me think of you.

- Really? You've never
wanted me to ride.

- Missy,

you are one of the most
talented trick riders

I have ever seen.

- Okay, who are you

and what have you
done with my mother?

- You get it from your father.

And I guess on some level,
I always hated

that you had more of him
than me in you.

- That's not true.
I have parts of you.

- Yeah, the part of me
that stayed.

Watched her life pass her by.

You have your whole life
ahead of you.

You could be anything you want.

Just don't be me.

- What did you say the trick
riding thing was again?

- Hugo?

- Hello, Miss Estella.

- What are you doing here?

- Your father would
like to see you.

- Now?

- We've missed you.
- Is he here?

- He's waiting at the hotel.

- You know how nice it's gonna
be not to worry about

how much it costs
to fill this thing?

- At least one of you
won't be stalling.

- Look, Jay,
we have a great time.

But...

you're right.

I have been the family
bull fighter for too long.

I've been putting
everyone but myself first

and...

going with you would just...

be more of the same.

You push me to be better,

dig deep, or even
put my music out there.

And...

that's where my heart really is.

- Why did I have to go
bring out your best?

I'm gonna miss you, Tuff.

- I'll miss you too.

- I have money.

I can cover whatever it is
you were gonna take in.

- You think that's what
this is about? Money?

You took my reputation
and you trashed it.

- Okay. What's your price?

- First of all,
I wouldn't overpromise.

Especially since JB Wooten

might wanna look
at this bail release stub.

Not sure how he's gonna
feel about his new guy

being an ex-con.

Hey, remember that...

that one qualifying ride
I had in Dallas?

- How can I forget?

The one where
you slipped your foot

and then you got hung up
in the horn.

- Yeah, because you made me wear

that ridiculous white unitard!

- That thing looked
amazing on you.

And by the way, I think
the judges appreciated it too.

Yeah,
because it split right open!

Gosh, I was so embarrassed.

- Listen, you, you were
amazing that day.

Just stellar.

- Thank you.

For trusting me with Cash.

- Thank you for being the one...

that he trusts.

I only want the best
for you, Missy.

Whatever that may be.

- I know.

I've always known that.

- I miss you already.

- Me too.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Hey.

- So, you know where she is?

- I was just about
to ask you the same thing.

Hey, Missy!
- Missy!

- Mrs. McMurray, hi.

- Hi.
- I'm... I'm Polly.

I'm with the PRRO.

- Can I... can I help you
with something?

- Is this a good time to chat?

- ... yeah.
- A good time as any.

Yours?

- Yeah, that's Wyatt.

I saw you at Cheyenne
watching Cash.

And well, I realized
that you lost a son,

and I can't imagine
what that's like.

- What can I do for you, Polly?

- Look, I...

I knew Austin, before...

before Missy.

- Okay.

- Wyatt and I,

we had a rough go of it.

I needed help.

I had nowhere to turn

and it was Austin

who got the money and helped me.

- Why are you telling me this?

- I knew that Austin
had his own life

and I didn't wanna
interrupt that.

so I didn't tell him

until about four months
before he died.

- Polly...

- Wyatt is your grandson.

Wyatt.
