Running Wild Page #4

news, why would they lie?

Because they sell

ad space to the ranchers

who don't want to share

the grazing land that they have,

because it'll lower

profit margins.

Exploiting defenseless animals

is irrefutably wicked.

I am here to protect

them at any cost.

So, if you don't stop

what you're doing,

I will make an

example out of you.

Don't get timid with

this horse, Irish,

you do, he's gonna

eat your lunch.

If you get bucked off,

and everybody does,

roll with the throw

and you keep on rolling

until you're out of the way.

All right, boss,

let me go to work.

Good luck.

Shh, shh. Shh, shh.

Shh, shh. Shh, shh.

Whoa, whoa!

- Stay on there, Jon!

- Come on!

Easy, easy, easy.

Easy, easy there.

Debrickshaw, take that.

- Jon, Jon?

- How'd I do?

That was awesome.

Come on, let's get you up.

You all right?

I'm good.

Maybe you wanna take a

minute between rounds, huh?

Nah, nah, nah.

All right,

let's get on up out of here.

Hey...

- I'm gonna call you buster.

- 'Cause he busted your ass?

No.

Buster Douglas was the first

guy to knockout Mike Tyson.

Right, buster?

All right, toughness,

let's see what you got.

Shh...

Shh. Shh.

Shh, buster.

Good boy.

That's my boy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

That's a good boy.

Hi, sir. Please help us spread

the word about Stella Davis.

Hello, Lincoln county.

This is Darryl Meads and I'm at

rich east high school's

big event.

I'm standing with

philanthropist Meredith parish.

Tell us, why are

we all here today?

Well, Darryl, we wanted

to get the word out.

One of your neighbors

has been capturing

free wild horses

with the intention

of holding them in

captivity, breaking them,

exploiting them for

her own personal gain.

Now, principal Brooks,

what is your take on all this?

Darryl, I'm an animal lover.

And the thought of

someone in our community

breaking the backs of

majestic American mustangs,

it's too much.

And I'm so grateful to Meredith

for shedding some

light on this here.

People just wanna be of service.

So come on down to rich east,

to our free car wash

which is open 'til 5pm.

And learn something about these

free wild horses held in captivity.

Let's get the word out.

Thank you, Meredith.

Now back to you in the studio.

That was so good!

High school kids.

Aw, so passionate.

So eager to jump in.

Excuse me.

Can we just talk for a second?

They're here! They're here!

Hey, hey! Ho, ho!

Equine slavery's got to go!

Hey, hey! Ho, ho!

Take it easy!

Come with me.

Step aside!

- Talk to me, ma'am.

- Take your hands off me!

Hello.

Stella, what the hell

is going on over there?

I'm trying to get breeders

to take a look at monarch

and I see your name in the paper.

The headline reads,

"luxury ranch brings convicts

to Lincoln county."

There's a picture of

monarch with the prisoners.

They're not taking

care of them, are they?

- No.

- Well, it sure looks like it.

Equine slavery's got to go!

I can't believe her.

I'll take care of it.

You better.

Because I'll tell you something,

no breeder's gonna come

within a hundred miles of you

with this kind of press.

Meredith planted

a story in the newspaper.

She's trying to make me look like

I'm some kind of animal abuser.

Well, the way I see it,

you got two choices here:

You can sit there feeling

sorry for yourself

or show some grit

and prove her wrong.

Hey, hey! Ho, ho!

Equine slavery's got to go!

Hey, hey! Ho, ho!

Equine slavery's got to go!

Hey, hey! Ho, ho!

Equine slavery's got to go!

As you see,

this ain't real easy.

So I want you to

think before you act.

What you think this horse needs?

Some sacking out with rope.

Getting used to

me walking around.

- Good instincts, kid.

- Still works.

Alright, get after it.

Hey, hey! Ho, ho!

Equine slavery's got to go!

Hey, hey! Ho, ho!

Equine slavery's got to go!

That's it, nice and gentle.

In those spooky areas first.

- There, across the flanks.

- Go on, Matty.

In the spooky area, yeah.

Ooh, yup.

- Keep moving, keep moving.

- Ooh! Yeah, you got her now, Matt.

- Keep going, buddy.

- Pay attention to the horse.

That's right,

let her sneak up on ya.

Go! Hey, hey! Ho, ho!

Doing good.

Pay attention to the horse.

- That's it.

- Hey, hey!

- Easy, easy.

- Wait! Wait!

Stop!

- Hey!

- Hey, Debrickshaw, stop!

- Shut up!

- I got him, boss.

We're tryin' to do somethin'

and then y'all getting us hurt!

You try getting your ass

in there with them horses!

Hey, hey! Ho, ho!

Equine slavery...

Okay, okay, okay! Hey! Calm!

Just calm down, kid, okay?

Just ignore these...

The hell do they know

about what we doing in there?

- That ain't right!

- I know. Trust me, I know.

- Let it go.

- Sir, they ain't got the right.

All good, boss. All good.

That's it!

We're all good here.

Why don't you go clean out a

stall.

Go on, let's go.

That was good of you to do, Jon.

- What happened to Irish?

- Thought you were Scottish.

- You alright, kid?

- I'm good.

We're about done here.

I think you guys

should head out back.

We've had enough

fireworks for the day.

Hell of a day.

How many more days

of this do we have?

For you, 21.

For me, 20 years times 360.

20 years? You're gonna be

working 'til you're 70?

I look 50 to you?

Forty-nine?

Fire! There's a fire!

Hey, boss!

Do you smell smoke?

Yeah...

Oh, my god!

Go get the horses,

monarch first!

Turn this bus around, boss!

We can't change

the plans unless we're told.

Boss, there's a fire!

- Gotta turn this bus around!

- Sit down!

You gotta do the

right thing here.

Let us out so we can help!

Stop the bus.

Junior!

Quick, get him outside!

Roll it, roll on that.

Roll! Go!

Listen.

If I gotta go back there...

You guys ain't never coming

back to this program!

Mrs. Stella!

Mrs. Stella!

Octavia, here.

Put these together,

please, hurry.

Mrs. Stella!

You're gonna let them burn.

You're just gonna sit

there and let them burn.

Let's call it in.

HQ, this is bus 1260,

we got a big...

Okay! Octavia, water!

Aren't you in here for arson?

Shouldn't we help?

We are helping them.

- You set it on fire?

- Screw you, old man.

I asked you a question.

I just told you,

I didn't set that fire.

Hey, get off of him!

Get off! Get off!

Water!

Octavia!

Matt, back down!

- Right now!

- Okay!

Buster!

- Buster!

- - Sit down!

Sit down right now!

Listen to me!

Listen to me! Sit down!

I'd never do that, man!

Okay, man, sorry.

Get the hose.

I told you, I'd never hurt aces!

So are we going?

So are we going?

- The horses!

- They're fine. They're fine.

Mrs. Stella, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Showed some real

grit in there, Stella.

We need to call Colton

right away, this isn't over yet.

Why do we need Colton?

You guys got the fire.

Debrickshaw was the

last person in there.

Oh, sh*t.

Thank you.

Nice, Sullivan.

Look alive, look alive.

Here it is, here it is,

it's coming, oh god!

Get back so they can get in.

Yeah! There they are!
