Running Wild Page #3

Holding pens all over the west.

They got thousands

of horses, head to tail.

- Is that our only option?

- Well, I never said that.

Well, what aren't

you telling me?

Can't let them drink

too much at first.

Well, look, I'm covered in hay

and dirt and horse sh*t,

just tell me!

What are you afraid of?

There is a program that

could help us with the horses,

but it involves doing something

I'm not comfortable with,

going back to prison.

So, that's the

situation, Mr. Bussey.

Look, if you can get the

department of corrections

to approve you for the prep

program, you got my blessing.

I am already through

half my feed budget

and it ain't even may.

Asking for more

money from congress

is like trying to squeeze

apple juice from an orange.

Okay, it's only 14 horses, but every little

bit counts, but I need documentation.

Progress reports, veterinary

records created on each animal.

- Will do.

- This has got to be done right, okay?

Just in case some nut

comes out of the woodwork

and they're there,

let me tell you.

So does this mean that we

can feed and water the horses?

It means

I'll look the other way,

because I'm pretty

sure that toothpaste

is already out of the tube.

Good luck, miss.

Let's just hope this is

the last time we talk.

Done, now what?

Now we get in touch

with the prison.

Well, how much

are they gonna provide?

Not much, but enough to keep

the lights on and the water on.

If we pull this off,

we might convince the breeders

that we know what we're doing.

Let's just take it

one step at a time.

Okay. Aren't we gonna

just call the prison?

That is a conversation better

I go have myself in person.

Oh. Good.

Yeah, you need two security cameras

over the door, at least six down here.

You gotta cover every

inch of the place.

Twenty-four hour recorded feed.

- Got it.

- Twenty-four hours?

The prison rehabilitation

equine program works

mostly with inmates incarcerated

for non-violent reasons.

Drugs, theft, fraud.

They're more likely

to hack into your computer,

than hack you to pieces.

Still, we gotta cover ourselves for

liability to protect you and us both.

Also, box up any

and all personal items.

If it's not nailed down,

it could walk.

Eliminate the temptation.

How long will

the approval process take?

Four to six weeks.

Well, I don't have six weeks.

Look, animal assisted

programs lower recidivism rates,

they teach the inmates nurturing

and compassion and give them

some valuable work skills.

That's our objective,

miss Davis, not saving your ass.

All right, well,

the good news, miss Davis,

is you've got a prep graduate

right here running the show

and he cared enough to call
