You

'Cause I'm I'm the kind of girl
Who won't back down
So you're with me Or against me
'Cause there's no in-between If you know what I mean
Yeah, it's always the same Like you don't have a name
I used to fake it I just can't take it at all
I'll be the one to tell
I'm not your girl next door
I just can't believe it You've just got to see
There's no other thing That'll make me believe in you
Yeah
'Cause I won't play
I'm not your girl next door Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I'm not your girl Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Time?
-6 minutes flat. -Yes! Yes!
A young lady shouldn't be riding around like some daredevil.
The faster I go, the more orders I get delivered.
The more tips I make.
Thank you.
-Somebody is hungry. Where to? -Your place.
That's very cool of you, Moe, but I can pay.
Consider it a bonus.
Some of your friends came by. Said to meet you at the skatepark.
I-- I can't. I got something important to take care of.
-Just be careful. -That's why I got a brain bucket.
-Thanks, Moe! See you! -Bye.
Hey, Grandma.
Moe comped us dinner.
Let's eat.
Move it, lady!
Grandma!
Come on! Get out of the way!
-What's going on? -Grandma!
Grandma, what are you doing?
What are you doing in the road, Grandma?
-What? No, no... It's okay. -Maybe he'll drive home.
-Why don't we just get you inside. -Don't they know I'm...?
Mrs. Evans, did you hear what I said?
My Donald's coming home from Korea today.
We're going to get married.
Do you think they're going to have a parade?
I know that this is hard, but please try to stay with me.
We are discussing your granddaughter, Carrie McLaughlin.
Now, you say that her mother was killed in a car accident 7 years ago?
I did the best I could. Always did, always tried.
No one is blaming you, Mrs. Evans. But given your medical history...
you are no longer qualified to care for a minor.
Since there is no other legal guardian, state regulations say that foster care--
I don't need foster care.
Do you want to go to a parade?
Grandma, please.
Please don't let them take me away.
Your grandmother needs to be in a care facility...
with trained professionals...
-Please. -that know how to handle her.
I can take care of both of us, okay? Grandma, tell them we're okay.
Please.
I wanna stay here with you.
-I think... -Please.
maybe it's time you went to live with your father.
There is a father? Where--?
Where is he?
Where is the concrete?
Welcome to Wyoming.
Well, it's not much...
but after the horse sale, we can go to town.
I don't need anything.
I was sorry to hear about your mother.
That was a long time ago.
By the way, the reception out here sucks.
Look, I'm not much a talker, Carrie. I guess what I'm trying to say is that--
You don't have to say anything. You and Mom were young.
She split for the city and didn't make it easy to find us.
I don't blame you.
I don't blame her. It's just-- It's my life.
So really, you don't have to say anything.
I'll let you get settled in.
Don't worry. They're not real.
That's a relief.
Try to get some sleep.
Good night, Hank.
Hank.
Rise and shine. It's breakfast.
Come on. For real?
Everyone at the KC ranch starts with a good breakfast.
It's a ranch rule.
KC?
Feet on the floor. The cows won't keep.
Cows? I thought this was a horse ranch.
What's that smell?
I think something died in my room. It reeks.
Wind shifted. Put you downwind of the barn, see?
That's why my room is on the other side of the house.
Isn't that right, Speedy?
Look, after breakfast, I need to use your computer.
Got about a million e-mails to catch up on. My thumbs can't handle the volume.
You know? Like texting thumbs.
Use my computer all you want as long as it doesn't have to be...
-connected to the Internet. -What? You don't have the Internet?
How do you even exist?
Same way people have in the Great Plains for over 100 years.
-You'll get used to it. -No, I won't. This is temporary.
Soon as Grandma gets better, I'm going back.
From what they told me, your grandma...
She's not gonna be getting any better.
How would you even know?
-The crazy horse has done it again. -You know what to do.
-Hey there. You must be-- -Carrie!
Why don't you come on back and eat your breakfast?
I didn't say you were excused.
Excused? You're kidding, right? You can't tell me what to do.
I am your father.
I don't even know you.
Well, fine. If you don't eat it, Speedy will.
Morning, boss.
I see you're enjoying life as a family man.
I guess you could say we got off on the wrong foot.
She reminds me of my oldest daughter. She was a feisty little thing. Still is.
She calls me Hank.
What do you expect? You haven't seen her since she was in diapers.
-Well, I should go after her. -Give her time to cool off. She'll come back.
Yeah? How do you know?
Whether she calls you dad or not, you're all that little girl has got.
Get back. What are you thinking?
-I bet she's never even seen a horse before. -Yes, I have.
-On TV. -What did I tell you?
Man, it's the last thing Hank needs with the horse sale coming up.
Better watch your step, little lady. You ain't in the city anymore.
Yeah? Well, let's see you survive one day in Pittsburgh.
Where's my phone?
N-- No. My phone.
Keep circling him, Kyle. He needs a bit more work.
-Way to go, Aussie. -I'm a kiwi.
Can the kiwi put Flicka in the box stall before she spooks the other horses?
Okay, boss.
I don't know why you keep that mustang. Nobody can ride her.
-It's not worth her weight in feed. -Flicka was my niece's horse.
When my brother sold his ranch, I promised to take care of her.
That means he's stuck with her.
Well, that's family for you. They waste your time and your money...
-won't even thank you for the privilege. -Well, ain't that the truth.
I need to clean my phone.
There's a faucet by the box stalls.
Listen, Carrie. I didn't--
-Another great bonding moment, boss. -I'm gonna sock you.
I'm with you.
If it makes you feel any better, I was forced on Hank too.
I'm so over you
Easier for me I can come and go
And this time I'll be--
So much for contacting civilization.
There's a snake!
-Did you get bit? -No, but the--
The horse just saved me.
Lift it.
-Snake got her in the tendon. -Carrie, help keep that horse still.
The more she moves, the more the poison moves.
Doc, we got a horse that's been snakebit.
Carrie, come in here. I need you to hold her...
and try to keep her calm while I find a tourniquet.
-Like this? -Okay. You got her?
-He got her in the tendon. -She's gonna be okay?
I mean, the snake would have bit me if it wasn't for her.
All right. See you in a bit.
Maybe Flicka is good for something after all.
-Flicka? -Means beautiful girl.
Your cousin Katy named her.
Easy, girl. Help's on the way.
You're gonna have to clean that wound every couple of hours.
Is this all right?
Don't wrap it too tight.
Give it room to breathe. That leg's gonna keep swelling.
Is she going to be okay?
We're gonna find out in a couple of days if the antivenom worked.
And...
if it didn't, then we may have to put her down.
Put her down? Why?
A horse needs 4 good legs.
And if that venom killed the tendon, then it's the merciful thing to do.
You'll be okay, girl.
Just shows you a stable is no place to mess around.
The fences are looking good.
Looks like Flicka took a liking to Carrie.
They're both wild and ornery.
Didn't you say that horse has been missing your niece...
ever since she went off to veterinary school?
Busting out and getting into more trouble than usual?
I caught her in the Walker ranch twice. It cost me plenty to fix that fence.
He's none too keen on mustangs to begin with.
Maybe Carrie can help.
I see where this is going.
-Toby, I'm not gonna-- -Now, before you say no...
she could watch Flicka. Change her dressings.
Might help her adjust to living here if she had a friend.
A friend? That girl doesn't know nothing about taking care of no horse.
Yeah. If she's gonna live out here, boss, she's gotta learn.
-It might be good for both of them. -Well...
She's burning up.
Well, her body is fighting the poison.
Now, if she starts to have trouble breathing,
you come get me quick, okay?
You're gonna make it, Flicka.
And don't go thinking I'm attached or anything.
It's just you saved me, so...
I'm saving you back.
What's going on here?
Hey, boss. Can you believe this?
She's sleeping.
So I guess nobody is working today...
All right, boys. Let's go. Come on. You heard him. Come on.
Okay, boss. Let's go. Come on.
Good morning.
-Good morning. -Stop feeding that horse by hand.
Then maybe when she gets hungry, she might try for the hay.
-And what if she doesn't? -Well, the doc says that...
She's not moving around enough. And if she doesn't walk soon...
All right.
Okay.
Hey.
Hey. Don't listen to him.
All he cares about is his stupid horse sale. But I got your back.
It's time to get up, okay?
Yeah.
Come on. It's right here. You know you want it.
Now, listen to me. You have to get up, okay?
You've got to at least try. Come on.
Flicka, I can be stubborn and there's no way you're gonna win.
Come on. Unh!
One more time.
Come on, Flicka. Come on. You can do it.
Yes, that's it. That's it.
Yes. Yes.
You're nearly there.
Please get up.
Come on, girl. Come on.
Hey.
Come on. Come on, please.
Please get up. Please get up.
Come on. Come.
Yes. That's it.
You can do it. I told you. Such a good girl.
Good girl.
Thanks, doc.
What did the vet say?
Gave Flicka a clean bill of health.
That's awesome.
Don't get any ideas about riding that horse.
She's still a mustang, so don't forget that.
No worries.
Flicka is cool and all, but horses aren't really my thing.
Look, Hank, what I do desperately need is a new mobile phone.
I got money saved. I can pay back the rest when I get a job.
Job? There's a lot of work to do around here.
I'll tell you what. I'm gonna give you a few chores...
and then if you work hard, you know, in a few weeks--
-A few weeks? -Yeah. We'll talk about a phone.
No, Grandma, it's Carrie. Your granddaughter.
Katherine's daughter.
No. I-- I'm in Wyoming. Remember?
No, it's okay. Don't worry, Grandma.
Everything is great. I love it.
There are cows and
horses and lots and lots of chickens.
And a big, old, fat dog named Speedy.
It's good to hear you laugh, Grandma.
Grandma, I'm gonna call you back real soon, okay?
I love you.
I thought you might like some ice cream.
Can't a girl get a little privacy around here?
Well, so much for loving it here.
There's your chores. When you get around to collecting the eggs...
watch out for the rooster.
"Soap the tack, muck the stalls."
Yeah, tell Jake that doc said Flicka is ready to start exercising her leg.
So he can lunge her in the front paddock.
Then he needs to check the fence at the north forty.
Wait. Jake who? The north what? I have no idea what you're talking about.
You'll get it.
Uncool, Speedy.
Very uncool.
"Slot" the what?
Gross.
I sure hope you appreciate this, Flicka.
Okay.
No.
You think this is funny?
Where am I gonna buy a new pair of skate shoes?
This sucks.
Hey. Why don't you try these on. Compliments of Toby's daughter.
And the feed bins still need cleaning.
Goodness.
You need some help down there?
Very funny.
Jake Carter. Nice to meet you.
You're Jake.
Hank said doc wants Flicka to start doing lunges in the paddock.
And then something about going north.
You really aren't from around here, are you?
Careful now. Stay by the rail.
Come on, Flicka.
Good girl. Good girl. Come on.
This way.
Good girl.
Are you all right?
I can't fight her like this.
She could hurt herself.
I thought you cowboys were supposed to be good at this.
Well, I am.
But this horse is different.
She doesn't trust new people.
I just started working here. Till I save up enough to go to Nashville.
Nashville? Are you gonna be a country star?
-Maybe. -Hi.
She really seems to like you. Do you ride?
We could check the fences together.
Yeah, I ride.
Just not horses.
I skate.
Do you have any skate parks around here?
Halfpipes? Bowls?
How about just concrete or asphalt?
Well, just the Highway 9.
But it's full of semis.
Forget it.
Well, I'm sure there's somewhere you could find to skate in town.
Well, it's too bad you don't ride, though.
Everyone who doesn't have a car rides into town.
There's a movie on the weekends.
Only one?
Don't blame me. I just live here.
I better get checking those fences.
Flicka can just stretch her legs in the paddock while I'm gone.
Our secret, okay?
Sure.
Hey, Speedy.
How are you doing?
So Hank said you need some exercise, okay?
Okay. Come on, lazy. Let's go.
Man.
They should have called you Stinky, not Speedy.
Never mind.
You're pretty fast, aren't you?
I wish I could ride you.
Ride you all the way back to Pittsburgh.
You want me to ride you, don't you?
Yeah?
Hey.
Well, the doc said you need to start exercising your leg.
How hard could it be?
Okay.
So this way.
No, no, no...
Very funny. Very funny.
Closer to me. Come on.
No, no, no. Back, back, back.
Back, back, back.
Good. Good. Good.
No, no. No.
Come here. Come here...
Okay.
That's what I call a body slam. Yeah.
What are you trying to do, teach yourself how to ride?
-Maybe. -It doesn't look like it's going very well.
If you want, I can teach you.
What will it cost me?
That iPod should do it.
I'd rather die.
Relax.
I just wanted to listen to some of your music, that's all.
Okay.
Okay, let's start on Monday.
You saddle that horse up yourself?
I'll never tell.
Good work.
Goodbye.
I used to complain back in Pittsburgh that there was nothing on...
but seriously, there's nothing on.
As long as we can get the weather report, that's all I need.
Are those lawn mowers?
Okay, that's just stupid. Who would watch this?
Let's go for a drive.
Yes.
It's a big, big world
Spinning round Spinning round
With a million stars
Shining down Shining down
High above the moon
Where every single dream
Comes true
Okay, so where are we going and what are we doing?
Being neighborly.
It's a big, big world
Spinning round Spinning round
With a million stars
Shining down Shining down
High above the moon
Where every single dream comes true
Hank McLaughlin.
Hope that mutt of a horse mustang of yours hasn't found its way onto my property again.
It's nothing like that, HD.
All your fences are still standing.
My daughter, Carrie, has come to live with me. I thought I'd introduce her to Amy.
-Hi. -Hello.
Well, she's in the ring.
Come on.
Hey, sweetheart, I got some visitors for you.
Yeah, in a minute.
My baby's in training.
Hey, Hank, since you're here, why don't you take a look at the new mare I got in?
Yeah, sure.
I'll be right back.
Your horse is pretty amazing.
Not really. He's far beneath my skill level.
Daddy's gonna buy me a new one. I haven't been able to decide.
So, what was that, that you were doing?
It's called reining.
All the girls around here do it, but I'm the best.
Ask anyone.
That was a left turnaround.
In the city, they call that a twist.
-What are you talking about? -It's just skater lingo.
I'm Carrie. I'm staying over at Hank's.
I already know. Jake told me about you.
Jake was talking about me?
Not in that way, if that's what you're thinking.
I wasn't thinking anything. I barely know him.
He just said he'd teach me how to ride.
Really? That should be fun.
-Yup. -I've got a very strict schedule...
during competition season, so if you don't mind...
No problem.
-What's her disposition like? -Really easy, really easy.
And I was hoping to breed her.
Well, looks like we're heading out of here, so...
-All right, Hank. You take care. -See you, HD.
Sorry that you and Amy didn't hit it off.
No biggie.
You missed a spot.
Let me see that. Where? Sorry.
Hank, I was wondering if we could go to town sometime.
Maybe do some skating.
Town. I gonna go pick up some feed next Thursday.
I was hoping we could go tomorrow.
-I haven't skated in forever and-- -This is the most important time of the year.
The horse sale.
It's all anyone ever talks about around here.
Well, I don't think you understand.
If it doesn't go well...
I'm sorry, the town's just gonna have to wait.
Fine.
Carrie...
My first piece of advice would be start out on a nice, calm horse...
and not a wild mustang.
No, I wanna ride Flicka.
She hates being cooped up here as much as do.
Fine. Don't listen to me then.
I'm just the one who's been living here my entire life.
Okay?
Okay, so...
1, 2, 3.
I'm okay.
Still good.
Okay, let's try this again.
Okay.
Then...
1, 2, 3.
No.
Okay. Nothing to it.
All right, just take her around the outside.
Come on.
Looks like rain in the chicken coop.
-Morning. -Morning.
Hey, what's going on here?
-Know how to make an omelet? -That would be a no.
All right. Well, Speedy needs more exercise.
I'm on it.
Goodbye, gentlemen.
She's catching on.
Maybe. The way I figure, if you give a filly too much praise before you break them...
you wind up with a half-broke filly.
You know, I don't know if you've noticed, but she ain't no filly.
She's a girl.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right.
Come on, come on, come on.
-Come on. Come on, Speedy. Come on. -Why didn't I think of that?
Good. Come on. Come on, boy. Come on.
-Come on. -Be back before sunset.
Try to stay out of trouble.
Yeah. Would it kill him to give me a little credit?
Like, "Way to go, Carrie, that's using your brain."
There's no pleasing him, Speedy.
Come on. Keep it moving.
Keep it moving. Yeah.
I like it.
Really?
No, I'm talking about the song.
Keep your heels down.
Like this?
Yeah, but further down.
-I'm doing good, right? Come on. -Yeah.
Years gone by
You might think I'm crazy
With what I'm saying But I've gone too far--
No, no, no. Let it go.
Yeah, right.
Hey, give me that.
Don't run away.
You better hold on tight now
But I've gone too far
Not bad. Not bad at all.
All right, now turn her right.
Okay. Now left.
-Okay, now back her up. -Back, back, back.
Yeah.
-You've done this before? -No.
Good girl, Flicka.
Good girl.
That creepy Mr. Walker captured part of the mustang herd today.
I can't believe these proud horses aren't protected anymore under our laws.
I'm so happy that Flicka is safe.
Come in.
-Hey. -Hi.
Well, it seems like you've been getting the hang of things...
so I thought you might like to learn how to ride.
Give you something nice to do besides working all the time.
It's okay. It sounds fun, but you're busy.
I'm trying here, Carrie.
Look, it's not that I don't want you to teach me--
What is it? You either do or you don't.
I already know how to ride. Jake's been teaching me.
Let me guess, on Flicka?
Please don't blame Jake. It was my idea.
Flicka's really good with me.
Please don't be mad.
-I'm not mad. -You sound like it.
Carrie, I'm not the enemy.
Why do you have to sneak around, hide things from me?
I'm sorry.
Me too.
It's just that as your father, I would've liked to...
It's just another thing I didn't get a chance at.
That's all.
It looks good that way, Chad.
Try him the other way. He might have sored up on that side.
What's on your mind, boss?
Carrie's been riding Flicka on the sly.
-Yeah. -How long have you known about that?
I'm sorry, my friend, I just didn't have the heart to tell you.
If it makes you feel better, she rides that little mare pretty good.
I don't feel better, I feel like an idiot. I'm the last one to know what's going on.
She won't talk to me, keeps everything to herself.
Who does that sound like?
-Come on. -Like father, like daughter.
Horses sure are easier.
Maybe you ought to loosen the reins a little.
He's good, Chad. Looks like he worked it out.
Jake,
I think Flicka needs some fresh air, so why don't you and Carrie tack up and...
go for a ride?
What are you all standing there for?
-Let's get going. -Yes, sir.
-Now, how did that happen? -I have no idea.
-You do know what this means, don't you? -No.
Well, if you're really gonna ride...
you're gonna need a hat.
Pretty cute.
I'm so glad my peeps in Pittsburgh will never see this.
Yeehaw!
There's a coolie up ahead.
A what?
A coolie.
A what?
-You'll see. -What? I have no idea what it means.
You'll see.
-Are you making fun of me? -No.
You are. You're making fun of me.
I'm not here to ride
The same old ride
Pretty nice view?
It's awesome.
Gonna save you the speech
That's a lot of space. Is that all KC ranch?
Most of it. Your dad's a lucky man.
So how do you know Hank?
I heard he was hiring for the summer. He gave me the 3rd degree.
Watched me ride and gave me a job.
He's a good boss.
-He's good at bossing. -Well, that's just what dads do.
I wouldn't know.
What was your life like before you got here?
Different.
We don't have to talk about it.
So you really wanna go to Nashville?
Yeah.
I love music. I love singing.
Wanna make something of myself.
Come back here, buy a ranch.
No. Really?
You like living on a giant patch of dirt with herds of stinky animals?
-Horses aren't stinky. -Okay.
Cows are, though.
-Okay, well, where would you like to live? -The city.
You'd rather live on a slab of concrete with a bunch of loud, stinky metal things?
Yes, actually, I would.
What?
Is it worth it to me?
Better get moving.
They'll be bringing the horses down soon.
Okay.
Carrie, hold up.
Easy, easy, easy.
Carrie, stay back.
Flicka.
Carrie, watch out.
-Jake, chase those wolves off. -I'm on it.
Go on, get.
Tucker, move that herd up. They're headed for the barbed wire.
Flicka, stop the horses before they hit that fence. Come on.
-Go! -Come on, Flicka. Go.
Carrie, stay back.
Go, Flicka.
Carrie! No!
Now that's a horse.
Carrie, come back.
Come on, come on, come on.
-Don't ever pull a stunt like that again. -What did I do?
You have no sense. No sense! When a herd is spooked, there's no reasoning with them.
They could've taken you away. You could've been trampled.
The horses would've gone into the barbed wire.
Man, I have never seen anything like that.
You are one crazy girl.
You cool that horse down, you get back to the barn.
I think he hates me. It's like no matter what I do, it's never any good.
-He's always been decent to me. -You're not his daughter.
The daughter he never wanted.
Come on. Go.
Hey.
You know, sometimes I think you're the only one around here that gets me.
Yeah.
Hey, why don't you give that guitar a rest. Go talk to Carrie.
Carrie.
-Hey. -Hi.
I--
I was wondering. There's a bonfire tomorrow night.
I thought you might like to come, meet some of my friends.
I've never been to a bonfire, but, sure, it sounds fun.
-If Hank will let me. -Right, right, right.
Okay, cool.
-Bye. -Bye.
Way to go, Jake.
Well? That go any better than your singing career?
I hope so.
Ready for the big horse sale tomorrow?
I hope so.
What is this?
It is my attempt at an omelet.
It's a peace offering.
It's not bad.
Am I still in the dog house?
Well, I haven't made up my mind yet. Why?
Jake said there's a bonfire tonight. I thought I might go with.
-Are you gonna finish that sentence? -I just did.
-How you getting there? -Toby's dropping us off.
All right. I suppose this is the part where I give you a curfew.
-We will be home by 11. -10.
Come on, 11 is a perfectly appropriate hour for my age category.
-10:30. Final. -Sold.
Good deal. I'll get the toast.
Okay. So with?
Or without?
I like with.
Thank you.
Let's go before the cows come home.
Come on, kids. Gee whiz.
-Howdy. -Howdy.
I'm buying you both watches for your birthdays.
Oh, yeah
I can hardly believe what I'm feeling
When I see you I wish I had something to say
It all happened so fast, didn't see it
But you're here in my life
And now nothing's the same
Every time you pass my way
I just smile a lot
Because that's all I really can do
Every time you pass my way
Guess I'll always be
Just mad about you
So mad about you
I'm so mad about you
All right. Yeah, man.
-That's good. -It's great.
Hi, Jake. You sounded really good.
Amy, hey. How you been doing?
Great. I've been busy getting ready for the reining championship.
I heard you qualified. Congrats.
Thanks. I'll be riding a new horse.
I hope you can come by and watch.
You've always been my good-luck charm.
Yeah, sure. I'll come by.
-Hey, Jake, what's up? -DC, how you doing?
-I love that song. -Hi, Carrie.
-Thanks. -Hi.
Nice hat.
That was amazing.
Well, it's been real.
Yeah, Thrilla in Manila.
-Sorry, I don't speak ghetto. -I appreciate that.
-All right, Jake. Take care now. -All right, later, DC.
-I'll see you around, Jake. -Sure.
-You wanna sit? -Sure.
All right.
It's really beautiful here.
Yeah, well, I mean, it isn't so bad.
Could become a part of you if you let it.
That's not gonna happen.
I'm not a sentimental type of girl.
Why is that?
Because everything I care about gets taken away.
Well, what about your friends? You still have them.
Yeah, they are great, but they're not here and I can't go back.
Well, maybe that's a good thing.
I just might be heartbroken if you had to leave.
I think Amy would throw a party.
What's up with you two anyway?
Nothing. Not a thing.
Really?
Really.
-Hey. -What?
Toby's probably waiting for us. We should go.
I know you like me, Carrie.
You don't have to act all tough.
-No. -Wait, Carrie.
I don't date hicks. Okay?
Hey, you guys have fun?
Good thing I got my radio fixed.
Woke up this morning to a--
Carrie.
Carrie, I was thinking.
I know how much you've been missing skating...
so I decided that if you wanna ride into town, I'm all right with that.
Just take Jake with you. I don't want you to get lost.
Jake? Great.
Ready or not
My words rule out
Can you hear Can you tell
I'm making sound?
Ready or not My heart starts to pound
Man.
Can you hear Can you tell
I'm making sound?
You gonna load Remington next?
This one turned out pretty fancy.
Should fetch a decent dollar.
Hi, Carrie.
He raises these things and just sells them off.
I thought the city was pretty heartless.
Come on, Speedy. Come on.
You're hungry, aren't you?
Hey, you wanna go for a ride later after the horse sale?
This hick has work to do.
-Fine, be a flip-flop. -Whatever that means.
I really messed up, Flicka.
I think I'm going stir crazy.
You too? Yeah?
Like a voice within
This is your journey
It's about to...
If we wait for Jake to forgive us, we're never gonna get to town.
What do you say, Flicka?
Ready for some fun?
Okay. Let's go.
Let your worlds crash down
Crash down
Baby, let your worlds crash down Let 'em fall
Make yourself believe it You can leave this time
Never looking back
You don't have to stay around
Waiting for tomorrow
Let those worlds crash down
Save yourself
It's just you and me, girl.
What is it?
Wild mustangs. They're beautiful.
Don't you wish you could just take off with them?
Yeah?
It almost feels like if we run fast enough we could outrun everything, doesn't it?
Come on. Let's go to town.
Let's go.
Well, Toby, we did it.
We may not be rich, but we'll make it through another season.
Well, be sure to let me know when we do get rich.
Jake, have you seen Carrie?
No.
Hank.
-My daughter all right? -She's fine last time I saw her.
She paid us a visit in town today.
Rode off on what looked like that mustang of yours.
Well, what did she do?
Skated down Main Street.
Hooked onto the bumper of Buck McCoy's pickup. Near gave him a heart attack.
And just about caused a serious accident.
She rode off before I could acquaint her with our local laws of the road.
Well, I'll get her acquainted.
Sell some horses today?
Yeah, we did all right.
Glad to hear it.
Chad, hook up a trailer.
Well, that did not go as planned...
I'm starting to think you're more fun than a skateboard after all. Yeah.
Hi. How'd the horse sale go today?
We'll survive.
Did you cool that horse down?
Yes, sir. I take care of my girl. Don't I, Flicka?
And where did you ride today?
You know, here and there. Around. We saw a herd of wild mustangs--
Put that there halter back on the horse. Lead her out here.
Chad, get that door.
Now, give me that. Give me that.
All right.
Flicka's gonna stay at Toby's place for a while...
till you and I come to an understanding.
What? Why?
I tried, Carrie. I give you an inch, you take a mile.
I just wanted to skate and Jake wouldn't take me.
You disobeyed me and then you lied about it.
You're not gonna get anywhere that way, Carrie.
You can't take her. I promise not to do it again.
-I promise you. -The horse stays until I can trust you again.
It's the only way I can guarantee that you're gonna stay where you're told.
It's so unfair!
Flicka! Flicka!
Carrie?
I'm sorry to hear about Flicka.
Hank will let her come back in a couple of weeks. He's making a point.
Don't defend him.
He knows that she's the only thing in this stupid place--
Is she the only thing?
If you had just gone riding with me, none of this would've happened.
-So you're saying this is my fault? -No, what I'm saying...
Why don't you just go back to not talking to me again?
Shake it off, cowboy.
I've still got some antivenom left if you need it.
-Thanks. -Thanks.
Flicka's been fretting ever since you brought her to my place.
I reckon she's missing Carrie something fierce.
Carrie's the same way.
It's killing me, but what can I do? The girl's gotta learn.
Yeah. I guess you're right.
You know, raising a child ain't like breaking a horse.
We've got a daughter
She's 17
And--
Hey. Hi.
Quiet, quiet, quiet.
I'm not supposed to be here. Toby will hear you.
I missed you. I did.
I missed you.
Hey.
"They say that Flicka can't be tamed, but I know she can.
I see it in her eyes, the day we rode through the fields together.
It's her spirit that can't be broken.
--and the strength of her stride. I see it in her eyes.
I guess that we're alike that way.
I feel this connection with her that's just incredible. It's hard to explain.
But it's like we get each other.
Like we were cut from the same mold or something."
Hey.
I gotta go, girl. But I'll be back soon, I promise.
Bye. Bye. Bye.
Rise and shine, Carrie.
Rise and shine.
Carrie, look what you've done.
I gotta move these bales before they get ruined.
-It's only a little bit of water. -Wet hay molds.
At $10 a bale I can't afford it. We can't afford it.
Carrie, hon, don't you see? I need your help to make this work.
I can't be checking up on you every 5 minutes.
I am sorry, okay?
Yeah.
There you go.
Hey, what are you doing here? It's your day off.
Flicka busted out of her pen last night. She turn up here?
No.
Horses tend to run for home.
That horse definitely thinks home is wherever your little girl is.
-You seen Carrie this morning? -I just caught her sleeping on the hay bales.
Looking like she hadn't slept a wink.
You don't think Carrie's got that horse stowed, do you?
-You're a little slow! -Don't talk to me, keep moving.
Carrie, I wanna talk with you. I need you to be honest.
You have to tell me where you're keeping Flicka.
She's at Toby's, isn't she?
I know you got your secret places on the ranch.
If you're keeping that horse tied up, she's as good as prey.
A horse's only defense is to run.
Wait a minute. She's missing?
-What? She was fine when I left her-- -And you snuck out to see her last night.
If you hadn't, Flicka wouldn't have tried to follow you and gotten herself lost.
-Well, we have to go find her. -Hold on, hold on.
There's a lot of acreage we gotta cover. We can't go running off without a plan.
-Hank, she's out there all alone, by herself. -She'll be fine. She's a mustang, born wild.
We'll get all the hands together, and they'll help us look.
There's no sign of Flicka on Toby's property...
so she's probably headed this way. Let's get going.
Wait, who am I riding?
-That would be Pokey. -What?
Pokey.
I can't believe I'm riding the slowest horse on the ranch.
For crying out loud.
I got a hole in the fence in the northwest corner and a red bull got in with heifers.
Get somebody up here to round them up.
Keep them in a holding pen away from the rest of the herd. Got me?
You need someone to work on that fence, boss?
If I wanted somebody to work on the fence, I would've said so.
No one touches this fence till the sheriff sees it, you got me?
Flicka?
Flicka!
Hi, girl.
Hi, come here. Hey.
What? What are you doing? That's my horse.
Now, that horse has caused me damage for the last time.
The sheriff's on his way over.
Stay off my property or I'm gonna have you written up for trespassing.
You can't do that!
Yeah, I'll be right there. Take him, Jake.
I found her.
She was at Walker's ranch. He took her, Hank.
Guys, put the horses up. Yeah, I just got a call from HD.
He can't take her, right?
I'll get her back.
Just let me do the talking.
I'm telling you, sheriff. Restitution has got to be made.
That horse has damaged my property more than once.
3 of my Angus have spent the night mixed in with a bull.
What am I supposed to do with that mess, Hank?
I understand, HD. You have every right to be angry.
I'll mend the fence and I'll buy the cattle.
"Mend the fence." He's already mended my fence twice.
This is a nuisance. I want it stopped and I want that money today.
You gotta be reasonable. Money from the horse sale's being transferred to my account.
Have it in a day. You know how it works.
No, today, sheriff. No excuses. No excuses.
What? You want what?
We can take Flicka as a down payment on the cattle.
Now, don't be silly, sweetheart.
What do you want with that mangy old mustang?
Told you I'd get you the best reiner money could buy.
She is a reiner, Daddy.
Carrie's cousin, Katy, trained her. She remembers her moves.
I saw Carrie get caught in a stampede, and the horse was amazing.
This is about Jake. You don't care about Flicka.
-You wanna get back at me. Is that right? -Get over yourself.
I want that horse. I'd go all the way to nationals on her. I just know it.
Okay, okay, now.
I guess that settles it, then.
-What? -Yeah, just hold on for a second here.
-Flicka's not part of the bargain. -You give me that horse...
or you're gonna see me in court. Sheriff.
Good day.
Hank, you do realize if he presses charges, you'll have to go to court.
You know what legal fees cost?
You could end up losing your ranch over something foolish like this.
Please.
We'll figure something out. Let's go.
Every day I stray so far
Go anywhere But where you are
I try to get away But still be safe
Every time you speak to me--
Yes, Evans. She's my grandmother.
May I speak to her, please?
I push you aside But I can't hide
Okay.
I understand.
I'll call back later.
Everyday I'm stumbling
I know but I'm not recognizing That you are...
Summer's almost over.
Wanna take a ride?
No, it's all right.
Okay.
To love you With everything in me
But you set me free You set me free
Oh, oh, oh Even when you look for me
I'm always where I shouldn't be
You find me when I'm stranded
Well, you worked hard.
Deal's a deal.
I will look to heaven as my home
Phone?
You can help me grow
It's really nice, thanks.
'Cause every time I turn around
Yeah, well, I'm headed to town. What are you up to?
Nothing.
The reining championship starts today...
-and Amy's gonna be riding Flicka. -I know.
I'd be going right by there.
He says I'm branded as his own
He finds me when I'm stranded
He helps me find my way
Home
Excuse me. Sorry.
Carrie. Carrie, hey.
Let's have a big hand now for Christy Tyler.
Hey.
-Just came to see how Flicka was doing. -Yeah, me too.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, the...
next exhibitor is Number 399...
last year's champion, Amy Walker...
riding her new horse, Flicka.
Owned by the Walker ranch.
Give it up for them.
-Flicka looks so beautiful. Isn't she amazing? -She sure is.
-Settle that horse down right now. -I'm trying.
Calm down. Shut up, we've practiced this a hundred times.
Jake. Jake, something is wrong. The crowd is scaring her.
Flicka!
-Carrie. -Excuse me.
All right now, ladies and gentlemen, just please, please try to remain calm.
Flicka! Flicka!
-It's okay. -Hey, baby, are you all right?
I'm not all right. I've never been so humiliated in my life.
-Don't get-- -Miss Walker...
-Help her. You let them help you. -Don't touch me.
I'm here. It's okay.
-Look after her. -Take you home. Let's go.
Where you going with my horse?
Ladies and gentlemen, a little extra drama for you.
You don't see that at every rodeo.
This is dangerous, going to the slaughterhouse in the morning.
She's never been in a show, let alone a championship like this.
Load this horse up. Let's go.
Mr. Walker, please I'm begging you. Please, please don't take Flicka from me.
She was tamed by choice. She responds to love.
Okay, you can't force it.
-Amy was forcing her. And Flicka-- Please. -That's enough.
I know a crazy horse when I see one. This one is gonna be destroyed.
-Mr. Walker, I'm begging you. -No, no.
You'll thank me for this one day.
-No, no. -I probably saved your life.
-Where's my daughter? -Carrie.
No. No. Flicka--
Please!
I tried my best. I offered him more than I got.
And he won't listen to reason.
But they're gonna kill her.
I know this is hard, but there is nothing I can do.
I'm sorry, Carrie.
Flicka helped heal my broken spirit.
And has become part of my soul.
She embodies all that is pure and true.
I would do anything to save her.
So would I, Katy.
Flicka.
Hey.
Hi.
Hey, I'm never gonna let anyone hurt you, okay?
Okay?
Carrie?
You in here? Carrie?
Carrie?
Girl runs off in the middle of a storm.
Can't you control that daughter of yours?
Well, we're still working that part out.
Well, now, look at this.
Well, I'll tell you what I'm gonna work out.
Gonna call the sheriff, report that daughter of yours as a horse thief.
A little time at juvie ought to straighten her out.
Wait a minute. Just wait a minute.
You were gonna put that horse down.
It has no value to you.
That horse was my property and she stole it.
I've got the right to press charges. That's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Stop it right there. My daughter is out in that storm.
And the only call you'd better be making is to ask your men to help me find her.
Get everybody up.
Hank McLaughlin's daughter is missing.
Yes, now.
You have any ideas where they could've gone?
I've got a few. We're gonna need horses to get there.
Tough getting there in the dark.
Daybreak is not for about an hour. Not waiting. You coming?
-Of course. -All right.
Carrie!
Hey, Carrie.
Well, I see you got Flicka.
Jake's down there with the horses.
I couldn't let them take her to the slaughterhouse.
I know how you feel.
Sometimes life breaks your heart.
Like when your mother left with you.
I couldn't provide any kind of life for you...
but that didn't make it hurt any less.
I thought that you...
never wanted us.
Me.
Now, did you ever ask yourself why the name of my ranch is KC?
Katherine, Carrie. KC ranch.
I always told your mother that I'd get my own place.
And then we'd have a real life.
But it ended up taking a little longer than expected...
but it was the idea of it.
Kept me working all these years.
I always wanted you, Carrie.
But I can't keep you here if you don't wanna stay, right?
Like Flicka can't be kept in that stable if she doesn't wanna be kept.
I know that if we take her back...
that Mr. Walker won't stop until he gets his way.
Yeah, probably not.
So I have a plan.
But I don't know how to navigate this
area, so I need your help.
Well, you got it.
All right.
-Is everything all right? -Hey.
-I'm gonna need your help too. -Sure thing, Carrie. Anything.
Okay.
This is it.
Go home, girl. Go.
Go to your friends as far as you can.
Go. Go!
Go.
Run as far as you can!
I've never been more proud of anyone in my whole life.
Then why does it hurt so bad?
Because you love Flicka.
I'll never forget her.
Well...
And no matter where you are, she will never be far from your heart.
And you can trust me on that.
Thanks, Dad...
for everything.
Dad?
I like the sound of that.
Walker won't have an easy time finding Flicka now.
Good. I never want him to see her ever again.
But-- Y'all, but I'm starved.
Yeah.
Well, I make a mean omelet.
There you two are.
-What's all this? -Well...
Jake thought it would be a good idea if we built you a... halfpipe?
-It's a quarterpipe, actually. -No way.
Yeah, and I thought you might need another one of those.
Thanks, Dad.
Thank you.
-Maybe you could teach me how to skate. -Yeah?
-All right. -Thank you.
I'm gonna head this over to the barn.
-You don't know how to skate. -Not yet.
-They're so beautiful. -Sure are.
Bet you never thought you'd be able to leave her back there on the trail.
No, sir.
That ain't no skateboard coming.
She turned out to be quite the horseman. Horsewoman, girl.
-You know what I mean. -She sure has.
Makes you look like a greenhorn.
-Well... -Howdy, partners.
-Howdy. -Howdy.
You see her?
There she is.
She has a foal, Dad.
Isn't she beautiful?
-If she wants to come home, we'll let her? -Flicka's a member of the family.
If she wants to come back, she's welcome.
Flicka.
