00:02Previously on Hope Valley 1874
00:05Whoa!
00:06Better until we get where we're going that we just keep some details to ourselves.
00:10Why would you go and do something like that?
00:12This can't be right.
00:14You've been swindled.
00:16This will sting a little.
00:19Rancher!
00:20What's the problem?
00:21Can you look at me?
00:23Rancher!
00:24That's enough!
00:25I represent the law and no one's above it.
00:31Sarah?
00:32Where are you?
00:33I can't find you.
00:41Jim.
00:44That was my lovely wife.
00:48I've missed you so much.
00:50Rebecca, do you know how proud I am of you?
00:53Both of you.
00:54Sarah's so brave.
00:56Like you.
00:57You've done the right thing.
01:00You've come to the right place.
01:04Nothing's like we planned.
01:06You're keeping Sarah safe.
01:10It's all that matters.
01:14It's been so hard.
01:20Sarah!
01:40Sarah!
01:41Sarah!
01:41Mama!
01:44You were having a bad dream.
02:06What should I do with this, Mama?
02:08We can use it for kindling in the stove once we get that cleaned.
02:12I suppose we'll need to get some firewood as well.
02:16How are we going to clean it?
02:17Soap and water.
02:19A little elbow grease.
02:20This is going to be a lot of work.
02:22I know.
02:22Just imagine when it's all done.
02:24Think about this.
02:26A parlor here.
02:27A few chairs where people can rest by the fire.
02:30Enjoy a cup of my tea.
02:31And here.
02:33A dining table or two where the boarders can take their meals.
02:37And on Sundays we can use the good china just like back home.
02:39Yes.
02:43It's going to be beautiful.
02:48Perfect.
02:53Looks rotten to me.
02:54Quite a few of them are.
02:56Seems like everywhere I turn something else is falling down.
03:00One step at a time, Rebecca.
03:01You'll get there.
03:02I don't know when.
03:03There's so many boards missing.
03:05I still haven't even started building the rooms upstairs.
03:07Well, the prospectors have been helping themselves to the wood here.
03:10Ugh.
03:11Do you know where I can get some lumber?
03:13Well, Tom wears the one around here with milling equipment.
03:16He's also the only one dead set against me having a boarding house.
03:20Unfortunately, he's not the only one.
03:23See, I don't understand that attitude.
03:25We're all here trying to make a living.
03:26I suppose for the ranchers it's just a question of who got here first.
03:32Good luck with Tom.
03:33There's really no other choice?
03:35The supply wagon's due in this week.
03:38It could cost you though.
03:39How much?
03:40Hard to say.
03:41That's a lot of timber.
03:43Then there's the freight charges to consider all the way from Union City.
03:47Tom may be your best option.
03:49Good luck.
03:54Constable.
04:04Pa says thanks Clayton.
04:06We aim to please.
04:07You okay fitting him?
04:08That much smithing we can handle.
04:10Angela.
04:11How's your Pa been?
04:13Stubborn as always.
04:17Well, how's the plow looking?
04:19Good.
04:19Just gotta stay in the handles.
04:20All right.
04:22Good.
04:22I reckon we can use the harness from the drey cart.
04:26Wow.
04:27Clay, this is really good work.
04:28Ought to be.
04:29You taught me.
04:30Are you kidding me?
04:31This is beautiful.
04:32This is a whole other level.
04:34Nice work.
04:35Hey, listen.
04:36Did we get those logs hauled down for the fence?
04:38Yes, sir.
04:38We started splitting them.
04:40Good work.
04:41Tom?
04:44Can I take the max handles down to the trading post?
04:47Hattie's running low.
04:50Of course.
04:51Yeah.
04:52I got you covered.
04:53Thanks, Tom.
04:58Tell Hattie I say hi.
05:01Olivia, too.
05:09I hope Jenny likes my book.
05:11I'm reading Alice through the looking glass.
05:13I think she will.
05:15Papa used to tell me that you remind him of Alice.
05:17Why?
05:18Because you're curious and brave.
05:20Get up.
05:21Get up.
05:22I think he'd be proud of us.
05:23Don't you?
05:24I know he would.
05:27Whoa.
05:29Morning.
05:30Good morning, Peggy.
05:32Do you happen to know if Mr. Moore is around?
05:34Last I saw him, he was in the blacksmith shop.
05:38Do you mind watching Sarah for a few minutes?
05:40Of course.
05:42Hi, Jenny.
05:43Hi.
05:44What's that you've got there?
05:46Alice through the looking glass.
05:48It's a book my Papa gave me.
05:50I thought you might like treat it with me.
05:57All right, let's go inside then.
05:59Thank you again.
06:01Of course.
06:01Get up.
06:10Hey.
06:11How's it going at the ramshackle?
06:13Oh, fine.
06:14Sarah and I are settling in well.
06:15Thanks.
06:16Can't be too comfortable.
06:18We're managing.
06:19You know there's room for you here until you get things figured out.
06:23I am figuring things out.
06:24I'm just saying there's no shame in cutting your losses and moving on.
06:30I'll bear that in mind.
06:32Good.
06:34You want a coffee?
06:35Let's take a little break.
06:36No.
06:37I just came to ask you something.
06:41Though I'm not sure I should.
06:44Ask away.
06:46I need lumber for repairs.
06:48And I hear you may have some for sale.
06:50I have some raw logs, but I don't have any to spare.
06:54Is that because you don't want me opening a boarding house?
06:57It's because I'm planting alfalfa and I have to build a fence to keep the cattle on.
07:02All right.
07:05Happen to know anywhere I could get some lumber?
07:08I wish I could help.
07:11I don't think you do.
07:13I know you don't want to help me, Mr. Moore.
07:16You know the prospectors really aren't just people like you and me.
07:18They're just trying to build a life for themselves.
07:21Are they?
07:22Tom!
07:26Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
07:27No, it's all right. I was just leaving.
07:30Uh...
07:32Pardon me. I just need to...
07:34Thank you for the wagon repair.
07:36No, no.
07:36I appreciate it.
07:38Rebecca, I don't want your money.
07:42Enjoy your day.
07:49You should stick your foot in it.
07:52I may have, yeah.
07:54What's the trouble?
07:55We got an issue up at the stream.
07:58Let's go.
08:00It's about a girl who steps through a mirror.
08:02Then she meets all sorts of strange people.
08:04Come in!
08:06That was fast.
08:08Did you find Tom?
08:09I did.
08:09Turns out Mr. Moore and I didn't have very much to discuss after all.
08:13Well, that doesn't sound very good.
08:16Why does this egg have a face?
08:19That's Humpty Dumpty.
08:20Who?
08:21You know.
08:23Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
08:25That's silly.
08:29I suppose Sarah's been to school.
08:31The nearest one to here is over two hours away in Buxton.
08:35Oh.
08:43Could I buy some of those apples from you?
08:45Take them.
08:46We got so many this year we have to keep feeding them to the goats.
08:48Really?
08:51Maybe I can pay you in prize.
08:53Deal.
09:01Oh.
09:06Doyle.
09:07What do you think you're doing polluting up my stream?
09:10How's this your stream?
09:11This is my land.
09:12I bet you think you own the air that we breathe too.
09:16I use the water in this stream for my cattle and the mercury in your sluice box is harming them.
09:21Not to mention you're killing all the trout.
09:23Well, unlike you I don't have time for fishing.
09:26Well, I'll tell you what you do have.
09:2960 seconds to start packing your gear and get off my land.
09:49Olivia.
09:49Olivia.
09:50Olivia.
09:52Could you please pull your head out of the clouds?
09:54We got a customer.
09:57I was just cleaning.
10:01Morning.
10:02Morning.
10:02You're just in time with those.
10:04I had somebody asking after one earlier.
10:06Good thing I came by.
10:11Wow.
10:12That's real nice Olivia.
10:16We haven't seen you in here much lately.
10:18Tom's keeping me busy.
10:19He's planning on planting alfalfa.
10:21Is he now?
10:22Seems he's always got improvements in mind.
10:25That's Tom for you.
10:29You're really good.
10:30That's just something I like to do.
10:33Instead of stocking shelves.
10:39That deer's so pretty I just want to hold on to it.
10:46Time's up.
10:47You got no right.
10:48Why don't you go back to the camp like the rest of the prospectors?
10:51Because there's way too many of them?
10:52I can't argue with you there.
10:55Huh?
10:58What's going on?
11:02You brought a kid out here?
11:05Vivian's got more grit than all your cowpokes put together.
11:08You better believe it.
11:11Look, Doyle, neither of us wants trouble.
11:13Alright?
11:14So just get off my land.
11:16Who says it's your land?
11:19Well, it sure ain't yours.
11:24Alright, let's go.
11:31This ain't over.
11:33Right, Pa?
11:46Don't mind them, Constable.
11:48You're just a shock is all.
11:49It's like I've got the plague.
11:50Well, some of these fellas came out here to avoid men in uniform, if you know what I mean.
11:55Well, how do I get them to understand that the Mounties are here to help people?
11:59Mounties?
12:00Is that what you're calling yourselves?
12:01It's a nickname some of the fellas came up with.
12:04Ah.
12:05Well, we'll see if it sticks.
12:08I'll take a can.
12:09Of course.
12:10Thanks, Miss Grant.
12:14I think it's a fine looking uniform.
12:21Did you have fun today?
12:22I don't think Jenny likes me.
12:24Why do you say that?
12:26She thought Alice was silly.
12:29I don't think Jenny knows how to read, sweetheart.
12:32But she was looking at all the pages.
12:35You know, sometimes when people feel embarrassed, they pretend like they know how to do something that they don't.
12:43Why didn't she learn at school?
12:45I don't think she's been. It's too far away.
12:49Then why didn't her mama teach her?
12:51I don't know.
12:53I thought everybody got to go to school.
12:56Do you miss it?
12:59Sometimes.
13:01Sorry we had to leave so much behind.
13:03It's fun here too. Like feeding the baby cow.
13:06Can we go back to Mr. Moore's ranch tomorrow?
13:10We'll see.
13:18Why do some people seem mean but are really nice like Mr. Moore?
13:23And others seem nice but are really mean like back in Chicago?
13:30Go.
13:34I wish I had an answer for that.
13:37But don't worry. They won't find us here.
13:52Tom Moore's got blinders on when it comes to his ranch.
13:56Do you think it's true that he couldn't spare any lumber?
13:59Hard to say.
14:01You making pies?
14:02I am.
14:03Once upon a time I was known for my pastry.
14:06Oh.
14:07Hattie, would you sell pies for me here?
14:11I'd be happy to.
14:12Oh, thank you. That's more help to me than you know.
14:14You could even sell them to the prospectors down at the camp.
14:17They don't get much of anything sweet down there.
14:18Unless you count my personality.
14:20Maybe I will. Thank you.
14:22I can't wait to try one.
14:24That's lovely by the way, Olivia.
14:25Thank you. I like to imagine places I've never been,
14:28pretty things I've never seen, draw them.
14:30May I? Of course.
14:34This would be beautiful wallpaper.
14:37Could you apply your imagination to a boarding house?
14:41What do you mean?
14:43I have ideas for a parlor and a dining room.
14:46Maybe you could put them on paper for me.
14:48I would love to.
14:50What do you have in mind?
14:52It's a place cozy and warm.
14:55An oasis where people can curl up at the end of a hard day.
15:06There are still so many missing.
15:08I know.
15:08I know.
15:09Oh, my pies.
15:17Are they burned?
15:19No.
15:20They're perfect.
15:22We are going to need more apples.
15:25Does that mean we can go back to the ranch?
15:27I suppose it does.
15:29Although there's somebody I want to check in on first.
15:34Rachel.
15:36Hi. How are you?
15:37How's baby Ned?
15:38Oh, we're just fine.
15:40Thanks to you.
15:41You did all the work.
15:43Is that pie?
15:45Yes, and I brought you some red raspberry tea leaf, which is excellent for healing.
15:49So kind to me.
15:51That's how you do it, fellas.
15:52Right there.
15:55Would you excuse me for just a minute?
15:58Excuse me.
15:59Hi.
16:01Where did you get those boards?
16:03You're the one who bought that wreck?
16:05It's a boarding house.
16:07At least it will be.
16:08Did you pull the boards from there?
16:11Sorry, lady.
16:13Finders keepers.
16:18Hey, fellas, get with that board.
16:24If you are the law, like you say, you gotta do something about Tom Moore.
16:29It's a problem, Mr. Doyle, isn't it?
16:32He ran me off my stake yesterday, just upstream from here.
16:35He's the rancher you had the disagreement with the other day.
16:38Hey, I think he's in charge of this whole territory.
16:42I'll look into it.
16:45Good.
16:54Are you sure about sharing that book with Jenny if she can't read?
16:57I don't understand why that should make her feel bad.
17:00She can do lots of things I can't.
17:03Maybe you can learn from each other.
17:09Good afternoon.
17:11Hello.
17:12If you haven't met, I'm Constable Vaughn.
17:15Rebecca Clark.
17:16And who's this?
17:17This is my daughter.
17:20Hello.
17:21Hello.
17:22I'm sorry.
17:23The jacket seems to make folks nervous.
17:26Where are you headed?
17:28The Moore Ranch.
17:29Fancy that.
17:30Me too.
17:31Mind if I tag along?
17:33Of course.
17:34I understand you moved here recently.
17:37That's right.
17:38Where are you from?
17:40Oh, we have been all over.
17:43What's your business at the ranch?
17:46Seems Mr. Moore has ruffled some feathers.
17:48Ah, that I can believe.
17:50You know him?
17:51Not well.
17:52Mr. Moore is nice.
17:54I'm sure he is.
17:55It's just ranchers and prospectors.
17:57They're bound to have their differences.
17:59I don't understand that myself when there's so much open territory.
18:02I agree.
18:04It's my job to make sure that everyone is treated fairly under the law.
18:09Unfortunately, justice isn't the same for everyone everywhere.
18:13Well, I'm here to make sure that cheaters don't prosper and everyone else does.
18:18I like the sound of that.
18:27Come in.
18:30Hello.
18:30Hello.
18:31Hello.
18:32As promised, apple pie.
18:37Hi, Jenny.
18:38Hi.
18:40Your braid looks pretty.
18:42Thanks.
18:44What's that book?
18:45Little Women.
18:46But we can do something you want.
18:48What's it about?
18:51It's about these four sisters whose Papa is away at war.
18:55I always wish I had a sister.
18:58Me too.
19:03What do I owe the pleasure, Constable?
19:05I'm afraid there's been a complaint against you from Archie Doyle.
19:10Well, I'm the one with the complaint.
19:12Says you forced him off his stake.
19:14His stake?
19:15See, that part of the stream runs through my land.
19:19Claims it isn't yours.
19:21Do you have proof of ownership, sir?
19:22I don't need proof.
19:23I've been ranching here since 71.
19:26I see the problem here.
19:29What's the problem?
19:30There are new laws.
19:31Yes.
19:32Settlers are required to get land patents now.
19:34But seeing how much hard work you've put into the ranch, you've got a strong claim.
19:38I've got more than a claim.
19:40I've got people that depend on this here ranch for their daily bread.
19:43Well, I'm happy to help you apply for those patents.
19:46You're not listening.
19:47I already own land, Constable.
19:51Now, if you don't mind, I'm a busy man.
19:55Mr. Moore, unless you can prove ownership, I have no choice but to let Mr. Doyle prospect that part of
20:02the stream.
20:03I won't see about that.
20:05No. I'm ordering you. Don't interfere with me.
20:08You're ordering me?
20:12Please consider what I've said.
20:14My offer still stands, if you want help registering the ranch.
20:19Good day.
20:37Clayton.
20:39Mrs. Clark.
20:40Hello.
20:41I have a question for you.
20:42I wondered if I find some men to chop down trees, would you be able to plane them into planks
20:47for me?
20:48Well, you'd have to ask Tom.
20:50That might not go so well.
20:51I'd love to help, but I won't go behind Tom's back.
20:55I understand. I know it's a tight-knit community.
20:58Clayton, we got ourselves a bit of a problem.
21:01Rebecca.
21:02Hello.
21:04I've got a...
21:10I didn't know you were here.
21:12It's alright, I apologize. I realize after the last time we spoke, I'm not exactly welcome. I'll go.
21:16It's not true.
21:19You keep telling me to move on.
21:20From the idea of a boarding house, because...
21:24I know what it's like to pour your sweat and blood into something just to have it go bust.
21:28Your ranch is hardly going bust, so...
21:38I heard that you arrived with the Mountie in tow.
21:43Yes, we crossed paths on the way in. That's all.
21:52I wouldn't worry about him. If he were here for you, you'd know about it already.
21:58He says I need proof I own my lands.
22:01It's a world coming to a man's words not enough.
22:05Well, unfortunately, not everyone's word is as good as yours.
22:12According to him, the prospectors can dig wherever they want.
22:16I mean, they come here looking to get rich quick.
22:19You can't say that about all of them.
22:22I'm looking to build something that lasts.
22:24So am I. I'm trying to make a living off of the prospectors.
22:29I've got to try, Mr. Moore. I've got no choice.
22:33Would you just call me Tom?
22:44Maybe I can find work for you around here.
22:48That's very kind, but I'm going to see this through.
22:53Well, I guess that puts us on opposite sides.
22:57Do there have to be sides?
23:00When one side takes from the other, you better believe it.
23:09Enjoy.
23:15Vince is here.
23:16Have you finished making room in the back for the new stock?
23:21Olivia?
23:25Olivia!
23:26Sorry, what?
23:26Hattie and Olivia.
23:28How have you two been?
23:29Oh, good. So nice to see you, Vince.
23:32What's new in the world?
23:33Well, what isn't new?
23:34Union City's growing topsy-turvy.
23:36Because of the gold rush?
23:37Well, the cattle, the gold, the lumber, and more trading posts are springing up all over.
23:42Wow.
23:42So, what you got for me?
23:44I have these pelts, and I'll take more of the usual on your trip back.
23:50Right.
23:51Well, I'll be leaving by noon tomorrow, if there's anything else.
23:57The girls flew about, trying to make things comfortable, each in her own way.
24:02Meg arranged the tea table, Joe bought wood and said chairs, dropping, overturning, and clattering everything she touched.
24:15Sorry to interrupt.
24:17Peg, I'm just looking for Nash.
24:19He's at the barn.
24:22Have you got sweets, Mr. Tom?
24:25Why wouldn't I have sweets?
24:26They're in that pocket.
24:28Sam, mind your manners.
24:30They're in this pocket.
24:32I knew it.
24:34Did you?
24:34There you go.
24:35I got two more, if anybody wants one.
24:41You're welcome.
24:43You're welcome.
24:45It's a mighty fine house you're building there, Sam.
24:47It's a fort.
24:48Of course.
24:49I should have known.
24:53Ladies.
24:58Nicely done.
24:59I suppose Sarah and I should be on our way.
25:00But we haven't finished our book.
25:03I can leave it for you and your mama to read.
25:05That's all right.
25:06You can bring it back next time.
25:10Bye, Sarah.
25:11Bye, Jenny.
25:13Bye.
25:25Rebecca?
25:26Hey, thank you for the tea.
25:28And thanks for the pie.
25:30That's just about the best thing I ever eat.
25:32Other than Rachel's lunches.
25:35I'm just looking for the missing planks from my boarding house.
25:38Patty said some of them were here.
25:40Oh, we heard you were fixing it up.
25:44When can we move in?
25:45Oh, it really depends on when I'm able to make repairs.
25:49Oh.
25:50There's some of my boards right there.
25:53That's one of my doors.
25:56These...
25:57Those are my shutters.
26:00These are mine from the boarding house.
26:03And there's some there.
26:07Okay.
26:09Hey, everybody, listen.
26:10I know you think that the place that I bought is just a falling down wreck and that it's okay
26:16to scavenge from it.
26:16But I'm trying to build something for you.
26:21I want to build a place that's warm and dry and a place that you can go and get a
26:25hot meal and a hot bath at the end of your day.
26:29A place that you can call home when you're away from yours.
26:32And I can't do that if you keep stealing my boards.
26:35Please.
26:37I would really appreciate you giving me my planks back.
26:48I see.
27:04You know, she's a nice lady.
27:07If she hadn't been there when Ned was born, I don't know what I would have done.
27:11She could use the help.
27:12Yeah, she could use the help.
27:13And you know, when you took the boards, you didn't know they belonged to someone.
27:19Now you do.
27:24Come on.
27:26Come on, Rachel. It's okay.
27:28It's all right. Let's get some sleep.
27:35Rebecca.
27:37I hope you don't mind. I saw your light.
27:39No, it's all right. Come on in.
27:40Sarah's sleeping.
27:42I'm happy for the company.
27:44Would you like some tea?
27:46That'd be nice.
27:47Can I help?
27:49Sure. You can take the cups.
27:53I just came to tell you the supply wagon's leaving tomorrow if you want to place an order for lumber.
27:59Yes.
28:00I'll need to, I guess.
28:02I'm going to have to place these floorboards and the roof.
28:08Well, this may help. I have the money for your pies.
28:12Oh. Well, that'll be something.
28:18Okay.
28:18Hey.
28:21There you are.
28:22Oh, thank you.
28:24I'm real sorry things didn't work out the way you expected.
28:28Thanks, honey.
28:31Jim...
28:32Jim and I had this dream to come out west and see the frontier for ourselves.
28:39Maybe even start a new life.
28:43My husband was a dreamer too.
28:47Yeah.
28:49That's what worries me about Olivia. She's too much like Frank.
28:53He had a perfectly good job with Great Plains trading, but no, he had to strike out on his own,
29:00set up in the middle of nowhere.
29:02Hmm.
29:04That's hard.
29:08And also, isn't that what we want for our children?
29:11To dream.
29:15Yeah.
29:16I guess, uh, dreamers do have their place.
29:20Yes, I'm convinced they do.
29:25Why do you stay?
29:28Ah, because, uh, it turns out I'm darn good at running a trading post. Who'd have thought?
29:34No, I have everything I need right here.
29:37My daughter.
29:39My memories.
29:42And new friends.
29:50But what about you? I mean, how are you handling all this, really?
29:54I'm scared. I'm terrified.
29:59I'm excited.
30:00I look around this place and think of it full of laughter and good cheer.
30:05After everything Jim and I saw in the war.
30:12Sarah just needs a safe and stable home.
30:15And I don't know how I'm gonna do it.
30:19Because I really thought I would be bringing in rent right away.
30:25You're not gonna let little thing like money stop you, are you?
30:30Rebecca, come on.
30:35I don't know.
30:35Nash, I saw Sarah reading to Jenny and it broke my heart that Jenny couldn't read for herself.
30:39She don't need much schooling on a ranch.
30:42Just because we missed out doesn't mean that our children shouldn't get some basic learning.
30:46Good evening.
30:48Evening.
30:49You don't want your dinner to get cold.
30:51Come on, Tom.
30:52Don't spoil me, Peggy.
30:54Well, you can thank Rebecca for the pie.
30:57Oh.
30:58Really?
30:59Alright.
31:00We'll be heading to our place then.
31:02Okay, thank you.
31:06You're more than welcome to come over and have dinner with us, Tom.
31:09As appealing as that sounds, I prefer to be alone with my thoughts at the end of the day.
31:14Alright, goodnight.
31:16Goodnight.
31:20Oh, the boys are almost finished splitting logs.
31:23They start building those fences.
31:25That's good news.
31:27Goodnight, Tom.
31:28Goodnight.
31:57Oh, Clayton.
32:02Back so soon?
32:03Yeah, I, uh, I brought you something.
32:09Clayton, it's lovely.
32:11Wow, look at the antlers. Did you carve this?
32:13I got the idea from your drawings.
32:16Well, it just goes to show there's an artist in everyone.
32:20How much do you want for it? I bet we could get 50 cents.
32:23Oh, but, uh, that one's for you.
32:27Thank you so much. That is so kind of you.
32:33Good morning, Miss Quint.
32:35Good morning.
32:37Isn't that lovely?
32:39Clayton made it. Isn't he talented?
32:41I'll say.
32:42Reminds me of one on my mother's mantle back in Toronto.
32:45You're from Toronto?
32:47Why would you come all the way out here?
32:49The wide open spaces, of course.
32:51Well, you can have them as far as I'm concerned.
32:54But I'd give to be in a real city.
32:57With real shops.
32:59Toronto has plenty of those.
33:09Excuse me.
33:11You must be Mr. Williams.
33:13Everybody calls me Vince.
33:14I'm Rebecca.
33:16Huh.
33:16You the lady who bought that place.
33:18Go ahead, tell me what a fool I am everyone else has.
33:20I think you're smart.
33:22Every place I go on my route, towns are booming.
33:26This one's bound to take off, too.
33:28That is music to my ears.
33:30You got your work cut out.
33:31Don't I know it.
33:32I hear you're the man to bring in lumber from Union City.
33:35How much will that cost?
33:38Well, it's a big job.
33:42Likely going to be more than 500.
33:43500.
34:14Mama, tell me what's wrong.
34:20I wanted to order some lumber from Mr. Williams.
34:23It's more than I expected.
34:28You can't sell your ring.
34:31It's from Papa.
34:33I won't.
34:34Oh, I won't.
34:39But what are we going to do?
34:42I am going to figure something out.
34:47Swear to the moon.
35:03How are those drawings you're doing for Rebecca coming?
35:06I'll put the stock away, Mother.
35:11Oh, I'd like to curl up in that chair right there.
35:16I thought you didn't approve of me wasting my time.
35:18No, I didn't say that.
35:22I didn't mean it.
35:27Is it hard for you?
35:29To be here?
35:32With so little to do?
35:37There's plenty to do.
35:39No, that's not what I mean.
35:43If someday you have the chance to do something bigger with your life,
35:47you should jump at it.
36:01What was that for?
36:05You sound just like Papa.
36:33I don't know if I give you a hand.
36:36I've got it, thank you.
36:38I see that.
36:43Listen, I just wanted to apologize to you again for making you feel unwelcome here, because
36:48you're not.
36:51Unwelcome, I mean.
36:55I know what I'm choosing, and it's worth fighting for.
37:04Rebecca.
37:09Some of the prospectors want to return these.
37:11They're collecting more at camp.
37:17Lars, thank you.
37:20I can help you nail this back on if you want.
37:23Yes, please.
37:25There's more that came from.
37:32Looks like you're making some friends.
37:36I'm gonna make this work.
37:39One board at a time if I have to.
37:44You're stopping a force of nature.
37:48Pardon me?
37:49I said, I came here to return the money from the wagon.
37:55I told you I wanted to pay you for your work.
37:57I know.
37:58There's another way.
38:08Rebecca, don't tell me you're back for more apples already.
38:12No.
38:15I'm hoping I can give you something that's going to change your life.
38:18Would you allow me to teach you how to read and write?
38:23I should have thought of it sooner, and then Mr. Moore suggested it.
38:26I think it's a great idea.
38:29I think I'm past the ability to learn something.
38:32You're not.
38:33You're not.
38:34And once you learn, you can teach your children.
38:38How?
38:40And when?
38:41I'll come by the ranch a few times a week.
38:43Sarah loves it here anyway.
38:48I had given up on the idea of ever being able to...
38:51Is that a yes?
38:55Yes.
38:57Good.
39:04Oh, Clayton.
39:05Patty.
39:07You've been busy.
39:09So have you.
39:10Rebecca asked me to do them for the boarding house.
39:12Tom says that's never going to happen.
39:14I wouldn't be so sure about that.
39:18Good afternoon, Constable.
39:20Good afternoon, Mrs. Quint.
39:22Good afternoon.
39:23Clayton, you make axe handles too?
39:25It's fine work.
39:28How can we help you, Constable?
39:29I'll take one of those actually.
39:31And some beef jerky and hard tack if you could.
39:34Those sound like trail rations.
39:35That's right.
39:36I'm headed out.
39:37But I thought you were stationed here.
39:40Just part of the time.
39:41The territory I patrol is actually quite large.
39:45I'll be seeing you.
39:46Safe travels.
39:50Clayton.
39:59Well, um, thank you for lending these by Clayton.
40:02Have a good day.
40:05Patty.
40:06Bye.
40:29I'm thinking if we arrange the parlor like this, then there might even be room for a piano.
40:34Is this our room?
40:35That's right.
40:36And the boarders will sleep upstairs.
40:38It's just like we imagined, Mama.
40:40It is.
40:41It is just like we imagined.
40:44I left the prospector's camp at Stony Creek, having attempted to settle a dispute between
40:49Mr. Tom Moore, a rancher, and a prospector, Mr. Archie Doyle.
40:54The settlers generally seem to be law-abiding, and otherwise my time there was without incident.
41:00There's only one other individual who seems noteworthy.
41:04Rebecca Clark.
41:07Are we really safe now, Mama?
41:09Yes, we are.
41:11I think we finally are.
41:19What would possess a woman like her to travel alone in the wilderness with a child?
41:25To start up a boarding house?
