courage to do nothing.

And you are so far gone you can't

even see you did the right thing.

You really need to get over yourself, Jake.

You really need to get over yourself.

You really need to get over yourself, Jake.

You really need to get over yourself.

What are you doing?

I'm going to go take a bath.

Go, enjoy the play.

I just... I just had enough

drama for one day.

Hey. Anne? I'm sorry.

Hey. Anne? I'm sorry.

If you

want, somebody...

Ah!

No! Stop!

- Whoo!

- No. No.

No, Dad. No.

It's embarrassing.

Yeah. C'mon let's get funky.

Hey, your not dancing

with the stars.

There's no need

for searching with your eyes...

- Bye.

- Embarrassing

In my experience,

horses are like mirrors.

In my experience,

horses are like mirrors.

Well, they're not quite as

pretty as you all

but they do reflect back

how you act and feel.

So if you're feeling moody, the horse is going

to be moody back and will probably back away.

Cora, since you're

the most experienced,

why don't you show the new girls the

proper way to approach the horse?

See how she extends her hand? And

waits for the horse to sniff it

and then she scratched it

on the wither.

and then she scratched it

on the wither.

The most important thing is to wait

for the horse to come to your hand.

It's like, um... asking

permission to touch it.

But the decision is up to

the horse to make.

Um... Cora? Why don't you bring Candy

over so that the girls can practice?

Okay, um... Hannah. Why don't

you do the same?

Uh... no, I don't think

she even likes me.

Uh... no, I don't think

she even likes me.

The way you feel about your horse

is the way she feel about you.

Come on. Give it a try.

No pressure.

See? I was right. Can I please

just have a different horse?

No, you can't.

Why not?

Because she mirrors you so well.

What's that supposed to mean?

What's that supposed to mean?

Look at Cora and Candy.

You see how relaxed her body language is?

Most girls don't get that kind of connection

with their horse, but I think you can.

See, horses don't like

to be fenced in.

And, I don't know, there's just something

about you that tells me you don't either.

The sooner you believe that,

the sooner you'll know you have a

lot more in common than you think.

the sooner you'll know you have a

lot more in common than you think.

Whoa, no, no, no, no, no. No.

That's my lunch. Thank you so much.

Hannah, turn it off.

I can't. Not yet. Please.

How much did you see?

How much did you see?

Nothing. But it looks like it

was pretty painful.

Come on, honey. It's late. Just

leave that. Come on, honey.

Speeding.

Fifty-eight apple, take

two. B mark.

Action.

I'm Officer Jonathan Mathis reminding

you that texting while driving

can cost you more that a fine.

Cut. Hey, Jonathan, that's great. We need

five minutes, okay? Thank you, everyone.

Cut. Hey, Jonathan, that's great. We need

five minutes, okay? Thank you, everyone.

Hey, uh... Hank.

Is Hannah okay?

Yeah, she's sitting right

here in front of me.

You know we have

rules here at Maheo and,

uh... unfortunately she broke

kind of a major one last night.

Oh, uh... Hank, can I, uh... can

I please speak to Hannah?

You bet.

It's your dad.

It's your dad.

- Hi.

- Hey. Hey, honey. How you doing?

I hate it here. Can

I come home now?

Uh... Hannah, look, I'm going to be

completely honest with you, sweetheart.

You're going to stay there until Hank and his

team say that it's safe for you to come home.

Honey? Hannah, I love you so much.

I need you to know that.

Honey? Hannah, I love you so much.

I need you to know that.

Now, can you please put

Hank back on the phone?

So what's the verdict, Jake?

I know Hannah's in good hands so

you do whatever you gotta do.

And she's not going to come home

until you tell me that she's ready.

I was kind of hoping you'd say that. Good.

Well, all right then. We'll get back to ya.

I was kind of hoping you'd say that. Good.

Well, all right then. We'll get back to ya.

But don't you think it's a little bit funny

that you're dying to get out of here

and you got busted breaking in.

Why didn't you tell

him what I did?

What, you think you're the first girl

that ever tried to break into my office?

It's not what I mean. What I

mean is, what happens next?

Hannah, you're not here to be punished.

And you're not here to be shamed.

Hannah, you're not here to be punished.

And you're not here to be shamed.

I suspect you've put yourself

through too much of that as it is.

The important thing is what

can you learn from this.

Look, there've been lots of

girls who sat in that chair

and asked their parents

to bring them home

and some of them did and every one

wound up right where they began.

When the time comes, I want you

to go home when you're ready.

When the time comes, I want you

to go home when you're ready.

Not before.

Help yourself. Not that one,

that's my favorite.

Hello? Hello? Is anybody in

charge around here?

May I help you?

May I help you?

Yes. Who's in charge? I need to talk

to the person in charge immediately.

Oh, I... I want to help you.

Just be clear.

How much more clear can

I make it? Wait a minute,

do you... do you speak

English? Habla Ingls?

Si. And Italian and

a little French, too.

Well, trs f***ing bien.

Look, if you can't help me,

I am going to need to speak

to someone who can.

Do you know who I am? Look me in the

eye when I'm talking to you, okay?

Excuse me? Have we got

a problem here?

Uh... yeah. Thank, God. Listen, this

woman has been incredibly rude to me.

Uh... yeah. Thank, God. Listen, this

woman has been incredibly rude to me.

I am only here to pick up my

daughter and take her home.

Excuse me, but, who...

who are you?

Deborah Green.

Oh, Miss Green. Well, you know that Hannah's

father has full physical and legal custody.

Yeah, he only sent her here to hurt me. So if

you don't go get my daughter and her stuff

and bring it to me I'm

gonna make some trouble.

You shut up.

You just shut up.

Okay. Okay.

Where's my

daughter? Where's my kid?

Where's my

daughter? Where's my kid?

Please. Please

don't let her take me.

No, I'm not

leaving. I am not leaving.

I am not leaving until

I get what I came for.

- You can't tell anyone, okay? You have to promise me.

- Give me my kid!

I won't.

He basically

kidnapped her, okay?

And now you people are holding

her here against her will.

- It's not going to happen today.

- Give me my kid.

- Don't you f***ing touch me.,

- Okay.

You don't know who

you're messing with.

You give me my kid right now

or this place will be mine.

You give me my kid right now

or this place will be mine.

I will sue you for

alienation of affection.

You come back with a court

order you can take Hannah.

Fine. I will. Don't touch my cab.

I can get this. Son of a b*tch.

Have a nice day.

I mean my life was

great until my mom ruined it.

She got so drunk one night that she
