00:08:45I found him about an hour ago.
00:08:54I found him about an hour ago.
00:09:03I found him about an hour ago.
00:09:07I found him about an hour ago.
00:09:16I found him about an hour ago.
00:09:20Miss Laird, can I get you some water?
00:09:45Ma'am.
00:09:45Miss Claridge, I guess you'll be needing time to think.
00:10:04My wife will see to your husband.
00:10:07The preacher's leaving tomorrow.
00:10:10I can bring him back here first thing in the morning and say a few words.
00:10:15We're fine.
00:10:30We're fine.
00:10:35We're fine.
00:10:39We're fine.
00:10:46We're fine.
00:10:53Hello?
00:10:56Mrs. Claridge?
00:10:59Marty?
00:11:01It's me.
00:11:04Sarah Graham, Bin's wife.
00:11:07You met me a couple days ago.
00:11:15Marty.
00:11:18It's time.
00:11:20We need to start your husband's funeral.
00:11:23We don't want to be starting it without you.
00:11:26I can't do this.
00:11:56You have to do this.
00:12:08I would...
00:12:08I would appreciate just...
00:12:12Just a moment, please.
00:12:16We'll wait.
00:12:17We'll wait.
00:12:17We'll wait.
00:12:19We'll wait.
00:12:21We'll wait.
00:12:23We'll wait.
00:12:25We'll wait.
00:12:28Aaron Claridge, journeyed west in search of a dream.
00:12:54This untimely death means that one journey is over.
00:12:58Another has just begun.
00:13:18Winter is coming, and there's no wagon train heading east till spring.
00:13:24I don't know how you fix for money to board in town, but you're going to have to make a decision in soon.
00:13:31Well, you take tonight and think on it, and Ben will come check on you tomorrow.
00:14:12Excuse me, ma'am.
00:14:29I'm Clark Davis, and I'm truly sorry about your loss.
00:14:36I have a proposition for you.
00:14:42I know it's not the right place or the right time.
00:14:52But I figure if we marry, it'll help solve both our problems.
00:15:00You'll have a roof over your head, and all your needs will be met.
00:15:05And my missy, well, she'll have a mama.
00:15:08I know it sounds crazy, and the timing is unlikely.
00:15:14But you have to understand the preacher is leaving the area today, and he's not going to be back until spring.
00:15:20And I ask this, only for my daughter, I'm thinking that she needs a woman's hand in parts of her life.
00:15:34I know it's not the perfect solution, but when the wagon train heads back east in the spring, I'll pay the passage so you can go home.
00:15:51You'll help me get home?
00:15:53If that's what you want.
00:15:58I'll leave you to think on it, ma'am.
00:16:04Go get up, get up!
00:16:06Oh, come on!
00:16:07Go get up!
00:16:08Hey, I'm trying to stop this.
00:16:09Come on!
00:16:10What do you want?
00:16:11Go get up!
00:16:11Go get up!
00:16:12Go get up!
00:16:29Chasing after him.
00:16:30I see.
00:16:31Get up!
00:16:32Hey!
00:16:32Get up!
00:16:33Hey!
00:16:34Hey, hey!
00:16:37Miss it.
00:16:41He started it, Pa.
00:16:43You get a gap, Pa.
00:16:45Clint says I got a new ma.
00:16:47He's lying to me.
00:16:49Is that true, Clint?
00:16:50No, sir. She poked me right in the nose for no good reason.
00:16:54You're a liar. That is so good reason.
00:16:56Hey, where do you think you're going?
00:17:01I apologize.
00:17:04Sorry.
00:17:09Sorry.
00:17:12What'd I tell you about fighting with girls?
00:17:15I ain't fighting with no girl.
00:17:17It's just Missy.
00:17:19Get inside. Go on.
00:17:21No worries.
00:17:23Come on, Miss.
00:17:25We need to talk.
00:17:30I'm sorry.
00:17:32You all right?
00:17:33I know.
00:17:34I don't want to do this.
00:17:36I just want to go home.
00:17:38Now you listen to me.
00:17:40There is no place in this part of the country to waste your time crying over wants.
00:17:47Your life's about needs now.
00:17:50You need a roof over your head for the winter.
00:17:52And that's what you bargained for.
00:17:56We are here today, gathered in the Lord's name, to join this man and this woman in marriage.
00:18:03Please join hands.
00:18:04Will you, Clark Davis, take Marty Claridge, take Marty Claridge to be your lawful wedded wife?
00:18:16I will.
00:18:17Will you, Marty Claridge, take Clark Davis to be your husband?
00:18:25Just answer, I will.
00:18:37I will.
00:18:40Then I pronounce you man and wife.
00:18:42I'll bring in your trunk.
00:19:09This is the bedroom you and Missy will be sharing.
00:19:28I'll get my things moved into the lane, too.
00:19:30I'll get you.
00:20:00I'll get you.
00:20:30I'll get you.
00:21:00Good morning.
00:21:06Saved you some ham.
00:21:08I'm not much of a cook, but it's usually a pretty filling.
00:21:11I've never seen nobody sleep so long
00:21:16I thought you might be dead
00:21:19Missy
00:21:20Go and wait for me in the wagon
00:21:22I've got some things I need to tend to
00:21:32I'll be taking Missy with me
00:21:34Won't be back till supper
00:21:41I'll be back till supper
00:22:11I'll be back till supper
00:22:41I'll be back till supper
00:22:43I'll be back till supper
00:22:57I'll be back till supper
00:22:59She's sleeping again
00:23:15She's sleeping again
00:23:29Let's go have our supper
00:23:33Pa
00:23:34Is she alright?
00:23:38No
00:23:38But she will be
00:23:41I will be
00:23:43Come on
00:23:47Go
00:23:57Go
00:23:59Go
00:24:01Go
00:24:03And bless this dear child
00:24:28In her time of grief
00:24:30And bless this food before us
00:24:31And we thank you for the fine day ahead of us
00:24:34Amen
00:24:35They got an awful lot of
00:24:48Part of dresses
00:24:49Seems like you got an awful lot of fancy things that aren't good for much anything at all
00:24:56We fetched your wagon for you yesterday and brought in it to the mart
00:24:58We fetched your wagon for you yesterday and brought in it to the mart
00:25:02What are you gonna do with all them books?
00:25:04I checked to see if there was any food that would spoil when I was picking up your things
00:25:16We planned on buying supplies as soon as we found our land
00:25:19Books must be pretty important to you
00:25:22I'll see if we can find space for them in the cabin
00:25:25I'm not sure what you're expecting from me
00:25:30Come away
00:25:33This is nine years old
00:25:40She works almost as hard as I do
00:25:42Sun up to sun down
00:25:44Has been for the last couple years
00:25:46She never complains
00:25:49But the work is stealing her childhood
00:25:52She doesn't know what she's missing
00:25:55But I do
00:25:58Maybe if somebody's there to share the chores
00:26:03She'd have time to learn
00:26:06Some of the things I think you could teach her
00:26:10Things she'd learn from her mother
00:26:14And when I go home in the spring
00:26:18I figure I'll cross that bridge when I come to it
00:26:25The books
00:26:28How did you know they were mine and not Aaron's?
00:26:34Oh, well a man would have thrown them off the wagon at the first big hill
00:26:37Unless he was trying to please a stubborn woman
00:26:41Why are you here?
00:26:57I thought you could use some help
00:26:58What would you like me to do?
00:27:01You may need a place to stay, but I don't need a mother
00:27:03Call me, you've been doing just fine
00:27:05I'm a little unsure about what to do
00:27:10Why don't you show me
00:27:13How to get those eggs out from underneath their
00:27:16You know
00:27:18Their rears
00:27:19Spell cow
00:27:29K
00:27:31A
00:27:32Close
00:27:33It's C-O-W
00:27:34Gertie don't care if I know how to spell cow or not
00:27:37Gertie doesn't care
00:27:39But I do
00:27:40And so does your pa
00:27:42So let's try another one
00:27:44Spell fun
00:27:45F
00:27:47How do you spell warm?
00:27:53Warm
00:27:54W-A-R-M
00:27:55I think you better W-A-R-M your hands
00:27:58What?
00:28:00Well, how do you expect Gertie to give you good milk when you're freezing or like that?
00:28:04Probably spill milk and
00:28:06Sure can do it
00:28:08How'd you get to be so old without not knowing how to do nothing?
00:28:24I wonder if you're so old without knowing how to do anything
00:28:40How does that mean?
00:28:50How I got to buy the water
00:28:52How often?
00:28:53oops i really didn't mean to i know exactly what you're meaning to do missy now you listen to me

00:29:21bargain with your father and i intend to keep my end of that bargain even if you do everything
00:29:25short of trying to kill me in the process so the way i see it if i can survive traveling for months

00:32:59Are you sure this is going to take the smell away?
00:33:14More or less.
00:33:15Some of it's just going to have to wear off.
00:33:26The fire's dying.
00:33:28Could you?
00:33:29I ain't supposed to.
00:33:30I could burn myself.
00:33:38Something's burning.
00:33:42Oh, no.
00:33:46Oh!
00:33:48Oh, dead limit!
00:33:51Ouch!
00:33:51Let me help you.
00:33:52Hold on.
00:33:53Hold on.
00:33:53Hold on, Missy.
00:33:54Get me some butter, would you?
00:33:56Come on, sit down.
00:33:57It's fine.
00:33:58No, you sit down here.
00:33:59I'm going to wrap it up now.
00:34:02Oh, I'm here.
00:34:07It's nothing, really.
00:34:08Okay.
00:34:09Man, now this will just take some of the sting out.
00:34:15Pancakes are all burnt.
00:34:16Here you go.
00:34:17Here you go.
00:34:18Like that.
00:34:19You know, you get the hang of that stove.
00:34:21It just takes a little practice.
00:34:23That's all.
00:34:27So where'd the skunk find you?
00:34:32The barn.
00:34:32Better get some more tomatoes, Pa.
00:34:35It took almost a whole bushel to get her smelling this good.
00:34:41Well, I'll see what we've got for supper in the icebox.
00:34:45Missy, why don't you go ahead and stoke that fire?
00:34:47I'll try to get all the things on your list for you while I'm in town.
00:35:02You sure you don't want to go with us?
00:35:04No.
00:35:06She said she don't.
00:35:10Doesn't.
00:35:10I hope you can make something better than burnt pancakes.
00:35:17Too bad I'll be gone because I can make some real good fried chicken.
00:35:21I'm ready, Pa.
00:35:29We'll see you soon.
00:35:36How hard can it be?
00:35:40If a child can do this, I can do this.
00:35:59Come here, chicky.
00:36:00Come here.
00:36:09Come here.
00:36:10Come here.
00:36:11Dad, grab it!
00:36:38Come here.
00:36:39Pull feathers out with the grain.
00:36:47You better be worth it.
00:36:53Huh.
00:36:58Looks like a coyote got in there.
00:37:08More like a wild woman with an axe.
00:37:16Good. You're back. Supper's ready.
00:37:19You made fried chicken. Good.
00:37:22Because I was getting awful sick of pain.
00:37:26Me too.
00:37:35Sure won't want to have to wash all that.
00:37:37I left half my things at home.
00:37:39It's kind of wasteful, don't you think?
00:37:41Wasteful?
00:37:43To have so many, you can only wear one dress at a time.
00:37:46Surely you must have some dresses of your own.
00:37:49One for when the river passes this way and holds a service.
00:37:52Like I said, you can only wear one dress...
00:37:55I'm out of time.
00:38:01My mama made beautiful quilts.
00:38:04Hers will put this here pattern to shame.
00:38:08She made quilts for all the neighbors when they had their babies.
00:38:11I'm sure they appreciated that.
00:38:13Folks love my mama.
00:38:15Especially my pa.
00:38:17That's why his eyes ain't sparkly like they used to be.
00:38:23She certainly was beautiful.
00:38:27She was the prettiest thing you ever saw.
00:38:30Everybody said so.
00:38:37You must miss her very much.
00:38:42No.
00:38:43But you can't be quêpated.
00:38:46You can't see her children.
00:38:47It's a bit of a getting old dress, but she's not too bad.
00:38:50It's so sick.
00:38:51You don't have to wear a mask.
00:38:52You're a goodha.
00:38:53You're a goody, you're a goody, you're a goody.
00:38:55You're a good boy.
00:38:56You're a good boy.
00:38:57I'm sick.
00:38:58You're a good boy.
00:38:59I'm a good boy.
00:39:00I'm a good boy.
00:39:01Oh, Lord.
00:39:31I'm sorry.
00:40:01Where's your father going?
00:40:06On his Sunday walks.
00:40:07It's just time to be alone and talk to the Lord.
00:40:10I bet he has a lot to talk to him about this morning.
00:40:13What'd you say?
00:40:14I think I'll take a little walk of my own.
00:40:16You were right here by yourself?
00:40:17I think I'll take a little walk.
00:40:47I think it's just because I know pink is your favourite colour.
00:41:12I love it when you wear pink, Mama.
00:41:19You always look so pretty.
00:41:20There.
00:41:30Land and the sun will make you feel better.
00:41:32I don't know why they didn't let me come here, Mama.
00:41:45So I would have said you're just like this.
00:41:53And I wouldn't have made you tired or sad.
00:41:58I just wanted to tell you that I love you.
00:42:04And I miss you.
00:42:09You were spying on me!
00:42:21No.
00:42:22You're lying.
00:42:23I saw you.
00:42:25You were watching.
00:42:26How could you do that?
00:42:28Missy, I didn't mean to be there.
00:42:31But I do know what you're feeling.
00:42:32Don't say that!
00:42:33You don't know nothing!
00:42:34I do want to help you.
00:42:35I don't want your help!
00:42:36I hate it that you're here.
00:42:37It was five before you came.
00:42:38I wish it was spring so you'd leave.
00:42:43I wish it was spring so you'd leave.
00:42:44I wish it was spring so you'd leave.
00:43:13I didn't mean to.
00:43:17I was cold.
00:43:18I didn't mean to walk in on her like that.
00:43:21I know what you mean.
00:43:22About last night, I'm sorry.
00:43:25I didn't mean to walk...
00:43:26I don't know what I was thinking.
00:43:28I can't stay here.
00:43:29Why?
00:43:30Why?
00:43:31That little girl hates me.
00:43:34You were right.
00:43:36She does need a mother.
00:43:38But I'm not the right person.
00:43:40She doesn't know it, but she's still grieving.
00:43:43That's why you're the right person.
00:43:45It's just not going well.
00:43:47It's going just the way I thought it would.
00:43:49I knew she wouldn't like it at first.
00:43:51Then why put her through this?
00:43:53Because I love her.
00:43:55And she needs more than I can give her.
00:43:57It seems like an awful lot of trouble to go through
00:43:59for just a few months of lessons and letters and sewing.
00:44:03Nothing's a waste of time.
00:44:04It adds to the person that you are.
00:44:06And I'm counting on the fact that knowing you
00:44:08is going to add to the person that Missy will become.
00:44:12I know you can find a way to get through to her.
00:44:17How do you know?
00:44:19That's what I prayed for.
00:44:21Maybe I will.
00:44:22Maybe I will.
00:44:37Maybe I will.
00:44:38Maybe I will.
00:45:50We're ready.
00:46:05We're ready.
00:46:35You look beautiful, Missy.
00:46:42Thanks, Pa.
00:46:43Thanks, Pa.
00:47:13You've got to get your flowers with your mouth hanging open like that.
00:47:29What do you expect?
00:47:50February.
00:47:54How did you know?
00:48:01Well, when Helen was expecting Missy, she'd hold on to her belly.
00:48:07Like you just did.
00:48:08Oh.
00:48:08I was going to tell you, the baby won't be a problem, and I'm sure it won't change the fare for when I go home in the spring.
00:48:21You must be thinking I should have told you.
00:48:23Actually, I was thinking I'm glad you're going to have a little one to remember him by.
00:48:31And the legend.
00:48:45Keep trying to sound it out.
00:48:50And, uh, where are I getting them?
00:48:53Good.
00:48:56I'm tired of trying.
00:48:58It's too hard, and I don't need to read anyhow.
00:49:00Okay, fine.
00:49:02You don't care if I do it?
00:49:04No.
00:49:04Not if you don't like adventures.
00:49:06Reading ain't no adventure.
00:49:07Once you can read, you can have every adventure you've ever dreamed of.
00:49:15In the pages of a book, you are a princess in a tower, or the best shot in the West.
00:49:22In those pages, there are no limits to where you can go, who you can be.
00:49:30No one will ever tell you you're too young to slay the dragon, because it all happens right here, where it's safe.
00:49:37I guess it wouldn't hurt none to practice a little bit more.
00:49:51I'll be back.
00:49:52Okay, Pa.
00:49:53I think a walk will do me good as well.
00:50:08Oh, that's the boundless treasure of my lord's unchanging love.
00:50:33Prone to grace, how great a debtor, daily I'm constrained to be.
00:50:44Let thy grace, Lord, like a fatter, bind my wandering heart to thee.
00:50:52Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it.
00:50:58Prone to leave the God I love.
00:51:03Take my heart, oh, take and seal it.
00:51:08Seal it for thy courts above.
00:51:12Amen.
00:51:22Aaron.
00:51:27Aaron.

00:51:52It's a whiteout.
00:52:18Where's Marty?
00:52:20Isn't she here?
00:52:21She went walking back when you did.
00:52:28I'm not back here in ten minutes.
00:52:29You use the gun.
00:52:30You open the door.
00:52:31Two hands raised above your head.
00:52:33You keep firing until you see me.
00:52:35All right?
00:52:36All right.
00:52:38Whatever you do, you don't leave that door.
00:52:41Come here.
00:52:42It's all right.
00:52:43It's going to be fine.
00:52:44I'll be fine.
00:52:45I'll be right back.
00:52:50Marty!
00:52:53Marty!
00:52:58Marty!
00:53:03Marty!
00:53:08Marty!
00:53:11Marty!
00:53:11Marty!
00:53:16Marty!
00:53:21Marty!
00:53:22Marty!
00:53:24Marty!
00:53:28Marty!
00:53:29Woody!
00:53:46Woody!
00:53:58Woody!
00:54:00Woody!
00:54:02Woody!
00:54:07Woody!
00:54:12He-he-he-he-he-he-he!
00:54:42Oh, my God.
00:55:12Oh, my God.
00:55:42Oh, my God.
00:55:52Oh, my God.
00:55:54Paul.
00:55:55She's all right.
00:55:56I'm going back to sleep.
00:56:00What about the baby?
00:56:02The baby's fine, okay?
00:56:04Go on and get some rest.
00:56:06You should never have gone after that horse.
00:56:22The man loses a horse, he goes after it.
00:56:26It's as simple as that.
00:56:30Thank you, Father, for this food, this shelter, and this companionship.
00:56:48And as we come into the season of the birth of your son, please make our hearts thankful that he came. Amen.
00:57:08I love Christmas.
00:57:11And I already know what I'm going to make you, Pa.
00:57:14Is it something I can wear?
00:57:16He's always trying to trick me into telling him.
00:57:19I'm smarter than that.
00:57:21Yes.
00:57:22So, what do you do to get ready for Christmas at your house?
00:57:25Well, about a week before Christmas, we go to Franklin's and pick out a nice pine tree.
00:57:31There's a pine tree growing in the city?
00:57:34No.
00:57:35It's a tree lot.
00:57:37Someone has already cut them down.
00:57:39You don't get to pick your own tree and see which one smells the best, which one looks the prettiest in the snow?
00:57:45Not exactly.
00:57:46But we find one we like, then someone delivers it to us.
00:57:50Then we add to our ornament collection by going to Purcell's store.
00:57:54They have the most beautiful glass balls and red ribbons to put on the tree.
00:57:59We make hot cocoa, drink it by the fire.
00:58:02And then your Pa will read you the Christmas story.
00:58:05Um, no.
00:58:07Why not?
00:58:08Well, it just wasn't something that we did.
00:58:11Christmas without a Christmas story.
00:58:15Well, when you get back, you have to tell them to read it to you.
00:58:19My father passed away a couple years ago.
00:58:22What about your mama?
00:58:25Actually, she's gone, too.
00:58:30So, who will you spend Christmas with when you get back home?
00:58:35Well, I used to have it with Aaron, of course.
00:58:39I have an aunt that I'm close to.
00:58:45And I have friends there, you know, back home.
00:58:51You can certainly have Christmas with your friends, can't you?
00:58:54I mean, there's no hard, fast rule that it has to be with family.
00:58:58Well, you'll have your baby now.
00:59:03You could spend Christmas with it and teach it all about you.
00:59:06See?
00:59:07Your supper's getting cold.
00:59:08How about a little less talking and a little more eating?
00:59:12Anyway, the joy of the season is a gift.
00:59:15It's right there for everybody, right for the taking.
00:59:18It doesn't matter where you spend it or who you spend it with.
00:59:23It doesn't matter where you spend it with.
00:59:48One, two, three, we got it, we got it.
01:00:03And she said, your majesty.
01:00:05Please tell me, your majesty, would you like to eat something?
01:00:09You should help her around.
01:00:12Yes.
01:00:13That's right.
01:00:14We're okay.
01:00:15Good.
01:00:16Good.
01:00:28And you probably can guess where it's around now.
01:00:39Merry Christmas, Paul.
01:00:48Merry Christmas.
01:00:55Thanks, Paul.
01:00:56Merry Christmas.
01:01:26Merry Christmas.
01:01:42Marty?
01:01:43Hmm?
01:01:45Where'd this baby come from?
01:01:48Well, you know, from...
01:01:52Hasn't your pa ever told you?
01:01:54No.
01:01:56Maybe you should ask him.
01:01:59Don't you know where your own baby come from?
01:02:01Came from.
01:02:02And yes, of course I do.
01:02:12Well, it's the same as you.
01:02:15My husband, Aaron, loved me so much, it spilled over and made a baby.
01:02:22What spilled over?
01:02:24It.
01:02:25What's it?
01:02:26The love.
01:02:27I think that button is still loose.
01:02:29Wow.
01:02:30What?
01:02:31I'm just thinking about all the brothers and sisters Clint has.
01:02:35There's been a lot of love spilling over at the Grahams.
01:02:39Indeed.
01:02:44I'm wondering if my pa could ever feel that way about someone again.
01:02:47He could, I guess.
01:02:55Give me your hand.
01:02:56Feel.
01:02:59What's that?
01:03:00That is someone who's getting pretty impatient to get out and meet you.
01:03:03Marty?
01:03:18Marty?
01:03:20I thought it was just back pain that I was having, but now I'm not so sure.
01:03:27You having regular pains?
01:03:29Just starting to.
01:03:30I think it's time.
01:03:33I'm going to go get Missy.
01:03:42There is no way I am letting you be my midwife.
01:03:46Find someone else.
01:03:47There ain't no time for that.
01:03:49Is it?
01:03:50It's okay.
01:03:51I'll make time.
01:03:53Did you deliver Missy?
01:03:54No.
01:03:55No, there was Sarah.
01:03:56But pa delivered plenty of cows.
01:03:58Oh, that's good.
01:03:58I feel so much better.
01:04:00We're going to eat plenty of hot water.
01:04:01Now you run out to the barn and get my shears.
01:04:03We'll need to sterilize it.
01:04:03No, Missy, Missy, don't you dare.
01:04:06Go on.
01:04:09I would rather give birth in a field than have you in here.
01:04:13Birth is a natural event, Marty.
01:04:15Oh, you feel what I'm feeling and tell me how natural it is.
01:04:18Now get out!
01:04:19Oh, God, I can't do this alone.
01:04:25Please help me.
01:04:26Please, please help me.
01:04:32Push.
01:04:33You're doing fine.
01:04:34You're doing fine.
01:04:35Push.
01:04:36Push.
01:04:37Come on, push.
01:04:38You're doing fine.
01:04:39You're doing fine, Marty.
01:04:40Come on.
01:04:41You were moon laughing girded when her baby came out.
01:05:09Have you got a name?
01:05:15Aaron Luke.
01:05:18Aaron after his father.
01:05:20Luke after mine.
01:05:21Hmm.
01:05:27It's amazing, isn't it?
01:05:29What's that?
01:05:30This powerful love that just sweeps over you.
01:05:37It's amazing.
01:05:52Weather's mighty tempting.
01:05:54I thought the fresh air might do us both some good.
01:05:57Yeah.
01:05:58You warm enough?
01:05:59Hmm.
01:06:03Oh, he seems to be enjoying it.
01:06:06Hey.
01:06:11Looks like a company coming.
01:06:13Ma.
01:06:14Go ahead.
01:06:16You can do your chores later.
01:06:17Whoa.
01:06:18Whoa.
01:06:19Hi, Clint.
01:06:20Whoa.
01:06:20Let's go play.
01:06:22Whoa.
01:06:26Howdy.
01:06:26Lynn, Sarah, welcome.
01:06:28You're looking a little more arrested since the last time I paid a visit.
01:06:33I can hardly believe he's already a month old.
01:06:35It just doesn't seem possible.
01:06:37Yeah, they grow when you're not looking.
01:06:40Blink and you just might miss it.
01:06:43That's what Clark said about Missy.
01:06:45Clark understands and appreciates that.
01:06:48He seems to be right fond of little Aaron.
01:06:50I think he is.
01:06:51I bet little Aaron has you thinking on his pa a lot lately, huh?
01:07:07He would have been so happy and proud to have a son.
01:07:12Ben had blonde curls.
01:07:13Not Ben, Marty.
01:07:14He was my first husband, Thornton.
01:07:15He was my first husband, Thornton.
01:07:17I think of what you and your husband share together.
01:07:21Nobody can ever change that.
01:07:26I still see Laura's daddy every time her curls are bouncing in the wagon.
01:07:32Ben had blonde curls?
01:07:33Not Ben, Marty.
01:07:37Laura's daddy.
01:07:38He was my first husband, Thornton.
01:07:42I was a widow.
01:07:44I had two little ones.
01:07:47When I met Ben Graham, he had two young'uns of his own.
01:07:52I guess you might say we joined forces out of sheer need.
01:07:55But Sarah, I...
01:07:57You and Ben, I just assumed you loved each other.
01:08:01Oh, we do.
01:08:04Now.
01:08:06I got more love in my heart for that man than anybody ought to be allowed.
01:08:11I can't even tell you when it happened.
01:08:15You know, sometimes love isn't fireworks.
01:08:20Sometimes love just comes softly.
01:08:28If you two are through Gavin, it's time we'd best be getting home.
01:08:31I will come when I'm good and ready, Ben Graham.
01:08:35That's fine, then.
01:08:36Can't say for sure if the buggy will still be here when you're ready.
01:08:40Enjoy your pie.
01:08:45Henry, old goat.
01:08:46Henry, old goat.
01:08:50We'll go.
01:08:52Henry, old goat.
01:08:59Henry, old goat.
01:09:00Henry, old gentleman.
01:09:08Oh!
01:09:10Oh!
01:09:12Oh!
01:09:14Oh my God, stop!
01:09:16Stop!
01:09:18Stop!
01:09:20Stop!
01:09:26Paw!
01:09:28Paw!
01:09:30Stop!
01:09:32I got your last back.
01:09:38I think I did.
01:09:48Aaron's crying.
01:10:08Marty. Marty.
01:10:10What?
01:10:12Barn's on fire. Stay with the children.
01:10:22Please, God.
01:10:24If you're really there and listening to me, take care of Clark.
01:10:26Please let him come out of me.
01:10:28Please, God.
01:10:30Please, God.
01:10:32Go! Go!
01:10:34Go!
01:10:36Marty. What's happening?
01:10:55Marty.
01:10:58You realize you lost your wagon and all your possessions in the fire.
01:11:02I know.
01:11:04I made you a promise last fall and I intend to keep it.
01:11:10I'll be going into town soon to replace that feed.
01:11:14And if you're wanting to,
01:11:18we can see about your way home.
01:11:22We should put some ointment on your hands and wrap them so they won't get infected.
01:11:28Here's some coffee.
01:11:32What are you going to do?
01:11:34Neighbors have offered to collect some logs and raise a new barn.
01:11:38Ben said he'd take care of the milk cow, feed her in exchange for some milk.
01:11:42So I'll get my feed built back up.
01:11:44I think it's going to be fine.
01:11:45I pretty much got it worked out.
01:11:47Just keep praying for answers.
01:11:48Good to see you.
01:11:49Good to see you.
01:11:50Good to see you,
01:11:58Mr.
01:11:59So I'll get my feed built back up.
01:12:02I think it's going to be fine.
01:12:04Pretty much got it worked out.
01:12:06Just keep praying for answers.
01:12:08Why do you think he'll answer your prayers?
01:12:10He always answers my prayers.
01:12:12Really?
01:12:13Did you pray for this?
01:12:16Why?
01:12:16Did you pray to have Ellen taken away from you?
01:12:19Did you pray that little Missy would grow up never knowing her real mother?
01:12:23I just don't understand why the God that you pray to
01:12:26would let such unthinkable things happen to decent people.
01:12:28Come with me.
01:12:33Where? What about the children?
01:12:35I don't know. Missy can watch Erin for a little while.
01:12:38Where are we going?
01:12:40Going to church.
01:12:50Missy could fall down and hurt herself.
01:12:54Even if I'm walking right there beside her.
01:12:56But that doesn't mean that I allowed it to happen.
01:13:01If she knows, with the Father's unconditional love,
01:13:06I'll pick her up and I'll carry her.
01:13:08I'll try to heal her.
01:13:13I'll cry when she cries.
01:13:16And I'll rejoice when she is well.
01:13:18In all the moments of my life, God has been right there beside me.
01:13:30The truth of God's love is not that He allows bad things to happen.
01:13:36It's His promise that He'll be there with us.
01:13:44When they do.
01:13:45I'll go back to the cabin.
01:13:59Do you want to stay a while?
01:14:03Alright.
01:14:03It's alright.
01:14:05It's alright.

01:15:55and get your pa's dirty clothes?
01:15:57Get what you get.
01:16:00And yes, ma'am, I will.
01:16:02Oh, Lord.
01:16:03Good morning.
01:16:21Good morning.
01:16:27Smells good.
01:16:31Excuse me.
01:16:33That wet winter we had sure did make the ground self a plan.
01:16:38I haven't seen you turn a page for 30 minutes.
01:16:50I haven't seen you turn a page for 30 minutes.
01:17:06I can't seem to concentrate.
01:17:07I'm going over to the Grahams tomorrow.
01:17:13I'm going to help Ben brand his new calves.
01:17:14Do you want to come along and visit with Sarah?
01:17:17I don't think so.
01:17:20I should probably spend the day packing.
01:17:22It's about that time.
01:17:25Are you sure?
01:17:26I'll let Missy know.
01:17:36I'll let Missy know.

01:18:39Everything seems to be in order
01:19:00You'll be leaving shortly
01:19:03Would you?
01:19:09I wish I didn't have to leave
01:19:26Then stay
01:19:27I just can't
01:19:29I want you to have my books
01:19:33And this
01:19:39My mother gave it to me
01:19:44I might be leaving
01:19:48But my love is staying here with you
01:19:51Please say goodbye to Sarah Ben for me
01:20:15I'll always be grateful
01:20:18That you were there that day
01:20:20I don't know what I would have done
01:20:25Bye
01:20:36Bye
01:20:43Bye
01:20:44Might as well get my things moved out and lean to.
01:21:08Okay.
01:21:14Father, I don't know why you brought Marty into my life, only to have her leave like this.
01:21:44I know I don't always understand your plan, but I ask you with a shattered heart.
01:21:56Please help me to accept it.
01:22:00Amen.
01:22:08Amen.
01:22:10Amen.
01:22:12Amen.
01:22:16Amen.
01:22:18Amen.

01:22:40I'm going to bring Marty back. You don't leave the cabin, I'll be back as soon as I can!
01:23:10I'm glad to be leaving this godforsaken part of the country.
01:23:23I wouldn't call it godforsaken.
01:23:25Horrible snowstorms.
01:23:27Beautiful sunsets. Rich soil.
01:23:31A woman has to be crazy to stay. Crazy.
01:23:35Or in love.
01:23:40Marty! Marty! Marty! Marty! Marty!
01:24:02What's going on? Who's Marty?
01:24:05Hold up! Hold up!
01:24:10Clark, what are you doing?
01:24:16The man loses his woman he goes after. It's as simple as that.
01:24:20I thought you wanted me to go.
01:24:22I didn't see the note.
01:24:23You didn't try to stop me.
01:24:26Until today.
01:24:29Don't leave.
01:24:31Stay with us.
01:24:33Stay with me.
01:24:36Please.
01:24:37But I have to stay for the right reasons.
01:24:39Stay because I love you.
01:24:42I...
01:24:43I...
01:24:44I...
01:24:45I love you.
01:24:46Maybe...
01:24:47I should stay because I love you.
01:24:51That's a good reason too.
01:24:54I love you.
01:25:12I love you.
