00:05There's an orphan. It would be helpful if you were there to vouch for me.
00:08Helpful? It's in my job description.

09:17you made the right call not taking Tess's offer
09:21race
09:24I've just been going for it
09:31I drew that when I was 10.
09:35I want to stay here forever crazy childhood dreams sometimes life changes us in ways we'd never suspect
09:44even if I'm
10:14Looking for a part-time job.
10:16Why?
10:18Because I'm 15 and old enough to work now.
10:21You want to work?
10:23I want to help out.
10:26It would cost money to run an orphanage.
10:30When I'm older, I'll get a job too.
10:34That's good, Annie.
10:37We all have to pitch in.
10:39Now go to sleep.
10:53The Bakewell Tart.
10:55Nice.
10:56Have a taste.
10:57Don't mind if I do.
11:05It's interesting.
11:06It's very different.
11:10Yeah, I wasn't sure if I put too much salt.
11:12Or not enough sugar, or maybe the baking powder's off.
11:16Yum.
11:17Good.
11:17Well, I'll leave the plate here and let your customers try them.
11:20Unless you don't want to offer them.
11:22No, yes, of course I do.
11:23Yes, my customers are going to love this scrumptious delight.
11:27Great.
11:28Well, I'll come by later to see what they think.
11:30Sounds good.
11:31Tra-ra.
11:46Jenny, did you do this?
11:48Uh, I was awake, so I figured, why not?
11:51Jenny made breakfast?
11:54Oh, wow.
11:57Where'd you learn how to cook?
11:59At my Ohio orphanage.
12:01You know, the children would help out with the cooking.
12:03I'm not in trouble, am I?
12:05No, this is all very sweet.
12:07But we'll take over from here.
12:09You go upstairs and get ready for school.
12:12Oh, uh, Jenny, we received your records from the Children's Bureau.
12:16But some of the ones from Ohio were missing.
12:20It doesn't surprise me.
12:22Why's that?
12:23The place was really disorganized.
12:26Oh.
12:33I don't see why we're doing this.
12:36Well, work's still got to get done.
12:39Depends on who buys it.
12:40They might have their own ranch hands.
12:43My money's on Tess Stewart.
12:46You don't have any money.
12:48No.
12:48But she does.
12:54I don't know.
12:55She's tough.
12:57Oh.
12:58So don't start working on my account.
13:00Just taking a breather, boss.
13:02Hey, boss.
13:03I think we'll have a job left after the auction.
13:06At this rate, I'm not sure you'll have a job before the auction.
13:08Got it.
13:10Good morning, constable.
13:12Call me, Michael.
13:13Can I interest you in a delectable pastry?
13:16They all look so good.
13:17Debbie, Michael, international week looks like a hit.
13:21Mm-hmm.
13:22And what will you have, Joe?
13:25How's this?
13:26Oh, I didn't make those.
13:27Oh, who did?
13:29Maggie.
13:29They're Bakewell tarts from England.
13:32Maggie the nurse?
13:32Mm-hmm.
13:33One and the same.
13:34Well, she does everything well.
13:35How much?
13:36Free samples.
13:37But, you know, you should really try my cardamon buns or the cannoli.
13:40Can't beat the price.
13:40I like that price.
13:44I did try to warn you.
13:47It doesn't live up to its name.
13:50It's not.
13:51I dwell.
13:53I didn't have the heart to tell her.
13:57Here she comes.
13:59Um, you should tell her.
14:01Why me?
14:01Because you're law enforcement.
14:03That's a crime against food.
14:04With my injury history on not upsetting the town nurse.
14:07So, did you try my Bakewell tarts?
14:09We did.
14:11And what did you think?
14:13Yeah, it was unlike anything I've ever tasted.
14:16Mm-hmm.
14:16And I'm not sure I ever will again.
14:18Really?
14:20I get back to my store.
14:21And I've got to finish my rounds.
14:23Did you hear that?
14:24Like, nothing I've ever tasted.
14:31Annie said that Jenny was looking at Help Wanted ads last night.
14:36Talking about how much it costs to run an orphanage.
14:40Is that normal?
14:42Well, when it comes to orphans, I'm not sure what normal is.
14:47I can't imagine what she's been through.
14:50I wish I had her complete file.
14:53Well, it would certainly help us understand her better.
15:06How would you like your taste buds transported to England?
15:11Pretty partial to England these days.
15:14That's sweet.
15:15And speaking of sweet, I made this myself.
15:20Have a taste.
15:21Have a taste.
15:22Okay.
15:24Hmm.
15:29Hmm.
15:31Um, what's this?
15:33It's called a Bakewell tart.
15:36They're so unique.
15:38I know, right?
15:39I left some at Debbie's pastry stand, and I can leave some for the hotel guests.
15:43But you have to promise me you'll eat them all yourself.
15:46And I can promise you I won't.
15:49Sam.
15:50Hi, Tess.
15:53I'm glad to see that, uh, allergy's cleared up.
15:56You're looking a little queasy, though.
15:58I'm fine.
15:58Not queasy at all.
16:01Oh, Tess.
16:02I, uh, need to speak with you.
16:06Man named Huntsman by the window.
16:08Don't look.
16:09I know who that is.
16:11You know, he wanted me to keep my ear to the ground there, so I just, uh, I mean, once
16:15I'm given a task, I'm...
16:17Jerry Huntsman.
16:18It's been a while.
16:20Tess Stewart.
16:21Because I live and breathe and eat.
16:23Last time I saw you, you were running a feedlot at the railhead in Clearwater.
16:29Hmm.
16:30As I recall, your husband was head of the Kettleman's Association at the time.
16:33Well, now I am.
16:35By all means, please, have a seat.
16:38Yeah, that's right.
16:40It was your husband who put me out of business.
16:43That's because you were cheating honest ranchers, selling rotten feed at premium prices.
16:48Cheating.
16:49What's up?
16:50It was full of weevils.
16:52Hmm.
16:53Can't please everyone.
16:55You're living large.
16:56Hope you can afford to pay for that.
16:58Company can.
17:00Expense account.
17:01Delicious.
17:02You sure I can't get you anything?
17:03Company.
17:04Yeah.
17:06L&M Cattle Company.
17:07Based out of Chicago.
17:09Hired me to be their business agent.
17:12L&M hired you.
17:13Yeah.
17:14Name's on the card.
17:16They know money.
17:17I know the area.
17:20We're looking to acquire the Lawrence Ranch, and I'm here to buy it for them.
17:24What about you?
17:25You aiming to bid?
17:27I'm aiming to buy.
17:31That was good for you.
17:32Dream big.
17:33Bring a checkbook.
18:03Miss Lawrence.
18:06Almost ready.
18:07You're the one with the chain to catch.
18:09Not till after the auction.
18:16I'll get the wagon ready.
18:26I'm sure you'll be happy with your deluxe suite.
18:31See?
18:32Now that is what I'm talking about.
18:35I'm going to turn you into a fine hotel employee yet, young man.
18:38Thanks, Rod.
18:41Oh, what are these?
18:43Free samples.
18:46Those are for customers.
18:48Unhand me, sir.
18:50I am your boss.
18:56What is that?
18:58Pastry.
18:59I beg to differ.
19:01What are you doing?
19:04I'm throwing them out.
19:05No.
19:06I will.
19:06Well, then do it.
19:07Now.
19:12On this, the white rabbit blew three blasts on the trumpet, and then unrolled the parchment
19:18scroll, and read as follows.
19:21The queen of hearts, she made some tarts, all on a summer day.
19:25The knave of hearts, he stole those tarts, and took them quite away.
19:29And we'll stop there for now.
19:31No.
19:31Keep going.
19:32Oh, Jenny's right.
19:33It's time to wash up for lunch.
19:36I like that Alice in Wonderland book.
19:38Me too.
19:40You know, when I was ten, my parents took me to the Wonderland Falls.
19:44Was it like the place that Alice goes?
19:47There were no talking rabbits or mad hatter.
19:50It was a great big waterfall, and it was beautiful.
19:54Were there any smiling cats?
19:56Maybe one or two.
20:07Hannah, what can I do for you?
20:09Hi, Maggie.
20:10Do you have anything for bug bites?
20:12Oh, bug bites happen to be one of my specialties.
20:18Ooh, seems like Brookfield is leaving its mark on you.
20:22Have a seat.
20:25So, I hear the auction's happening today.
20:27That must mean you're heading back to the bright lights of home.
20:31I admit I've missed electricity.
20:33And hot running water.
20:35And the telephone.
20:36I'd love to see St. Louis.
20:38You haven't been?
20:39Oh, Maggie, it's just a few days down the railroad tracks.
20:42Ah, here we go.
20:46This should soothe the itch.
20:54I remember getting bit a lot the first summer I came.
20:57After that, the bugs left me alone.
21:00They seem to like new blood.
21:02They must know I don't belong.
21:05They don't know anything.
21:06They're just bugs.
21:08Whether you belong or not is known only by your heart.
21:15You're a lifesaver.
21:26Constable.
21:28I've seen you around.
21:29I haven't had the chance to introduce myself.
21:31Tess Stewart.
21:32I own the large spread just outside of town.
21:35Michael Fletcher.
21:35What can I do for you?
21:38You know, I, uh...
21:41I don't know how you approach your job.
21:43I know your predecessor looked out for the people of Brookfield.
21:47Best job of any constable.
21:49Well, I'm glad to hear you say that because, you know, there is something about to go down
21:56that threatens our community.
21:59What's that?
22:01You know the Lawrence Ranch is about to be auctioned off today.
22:05Mm-hmm.
22:06There is a huge cattle corporation that's looking to weasel their way into our community.
22:12And unless we stop them, they'll control river access.
22:16Individual ranching here will cease to exist.
22:20I deal with crimes and civil offenses, not ranching operations.
22:26I know.
22:26I know.
22:27I just...
22:31Crimes.
22:33How about the fact they have sent Jerry Huntsman to do their bidding?
22:38You heard of him?
22:39The man's a snake in the grass.
22:41Don't like those.
22:44Does this Huntsman fellow have any outstanding warrants?
22:47I don't know.
22:48I'll check.
22:51But I won't get the answer in time to stop bidding any option.
22:55Nothing else you can do, huh?
22:57My advice?
23:00I'll bid them.
23:18Oh, hello.
23:19How are you feeling?
23:21Better?
23:22Okay, you take care now, okay?
23:27Hello, Sam.
23:28Hi.
23:29Look at that.
23:30They're a big hit.
23:32You know, all this time I thought I couldn't cook.
23:34You were wrong.
23:37I'll make you more.
23:38No.
23:40I'm...
23:40You're so busy as a nurse.
23:43You should maybe give the pastry baking to Debbie.
23:47Sweet.
23:49But I can do both.
23:57Ken!
23:59Aren't you headed to Cape Fullerton to arrange our next cattle run?
24:02It's the day after tomorrow.
24:04Listen, we need to talk.
24:05About what?
24:06About the future of ranching in Brookfield.
24:17I need your help in finding out more about Jenny.
24:20Won't be the first background check I do today.
24:23What does that mean?
24:25What's going on with Jenny?
24:26Well, her records only go back to last year at the Hamilton Orphanage, but I need to know
24:33what happened in the Ohio Orphanage, and I need to have the answers to these questions.
24:41She caused a trouble?
24:43Quite the opposite.
24:45She's a real sweetheart.
24:47What's the problem?
24:48Well, Eleanor and I can't help her unless we know her whole story.
24:52Did she get enough to eat?
24:54Was it overcrowded?
24:55We need to know more.
25:02I'll get right on it.
25:09Huntsman's in town for the auction.
25:11Since when?
25:13Since the L&M Cattle Company hired him as their business agent.
25:19They want the Lawrence Ranch.
25:21Who told you that?
25:22Huntsman did, yesterday.
25:24I know you want that ranch, Tom.
25:27So do I, so does Ken Newsom and Harley Weston and a bunch of others.
25:31Just something I was considering, Tess.
25:33Spare me the song and dance.
25:34We're competitors, but we're also neighbors.
25:37We all lose if the corporation gets that ranch.
25:40There's no need to jump to the worst case scenario.
25:43Oh, come on, Tom.
25:45They could care less about independent ranchers.
25:47It's all about return on investment.
25:50So not only do they own the best pasturage in the territory,
25:55they control access to the river.
25:58You remember 06?
26:01Creeks ran dry.
26:02Ray Lawrence took down his fence so your cattle could get to water.
26:07Ray was a good man.
26:09He stood by his friends.
26:11And we need to stand together,
26:12or that corporation outbids us all.
26:15So what are you proposing?
26:22May I offer you ladies a dessert?
26:24No, thank you.
26:25Are you sure?
26:26We have freshly baked apple pie.
26:28We tried one of your desserts,
26:29and we didn't care for it.
26:33Where?
26:34At the front counter.
26:56Can we talk?
26:58Come in.
26:59Best we do this outside.
27:05Okay.
27:07I sent a telegram to Constable Reynolds in Clearwater
27:09about the things you asked.
27:11He made some calls and sent him this dollar down.
27:17I'm afraid it raises more questions than it answers.
27:36Tess is right, Harley.
27:38How will it work?
27:39First we buy it,
27:40then we figure out how to divide it.
27:42I don't see how we have much choice.
27:43Well, all righty,
27:44let's get things started, shall we?
27:45The Lawrence Ranch,
27:48so named after Ray Lawrence,
27:50a long-time resident of Brookfield,
27:52and a man much missed.
27:54Close personal friend of mine,
27:55and I'm sure a friend of many of you as well.
27:58I used to...
28:00So, this is a 900-acre parcel
28:03of prime bottom land.
28:06And who will open the bidding
28:07on this fine piece of property?
28:09$15,000.
28:10I have $15,000.
28:12Do I have $15,500?
28:15$15,500 right here.
28:16$15,500.

28:44$20,000.
28:46$20,500.
28:46$20,500.
28:47Looks like Tess cut some sort of deal.
28:50The four of them have pooled their money.
28:52Why?
28:53We're up against the corporation.
28:55$20,500.
28:55We have $21,500.
28:56$22,500.
28:56We're going to $22,000.
28:57Wow.
28:58Leapfrogging over that.
28:59$22,000.
29:00Do we have $22,500?
29:05What's up?
29:06You're up with it.
29:07Really?
29:08I'm off permanently.
29:10What happened?
29:11I decided to leave the hotel business.
29:14Well, I'm sure you'll find something that suits you.
29:16Say, I was going to drop by.
29:19You have anything for an upset stomach?
29:21Of course.
29:22Was it something you ate?
29:24Most likely.
29:30Thank you, sir.
29:32$22,500 is the current bib we're looking for.
29:34Do we have $22,500?
29:35$22,500.
29:37$22,500.
29:38We do have.
29:39Looking for $23,000 now.
29:40$23,000.
29:40$25,000.
29:41$25,000.
29:43The bidding now stands out.
29:43I'm not watching this to the bitter end.
29:45What would my uncle Ray want?
29:47All business there in the front row.
29:48Corporation to take over.
29:49A tester to split up the property.
29:51$25,500.
29:52I've cut $25,500.
29:54Does anyone want to go to $26,000?
29:56Who did your uncle leave his ranch to?
29:57Did I mention this is a gorgeous piece of property?
30:00Do I hear $26,000?
30:01Anybody?
30:02$26,000.
30:02$26,000.
30:03There it is.
30:04Right there.
30:04$27,000.
30:05$28,000.
30:07No, no, stop.
30:08Stop the auction.
30:09She can't stop the auction.
30:13The Lawrence Ranch is not for sale.
30:15This auction is over.
30:17Ma'am, you can't stop.
30:19Just in case you change your mind.
30:22She can't stop the auction.
30:23I don't know what she can do.
30:27Jump.
30:28Jump.
30:29Jump.
30:35I messed up.
30:37That was fun.
30:40Jenny, can you come inside for a minute?
30:43Sure.
30:44It's my turn next.
30:57Have a seat.
31:04What's wrong?
31:08I had the Mounties reach out to some people in Ohio.
31:16I found out that there's a regulation that prohibits children from cooking in orphanages.
31:24And you told us that's where you learned to cook.
31:28I also discovered that there is no Wonderland Falls in Ohio.
31:34But there is a Wonderland Falls near Hamilton.
31:39You told me that you had never been to Hamilton before you were 12, but you told Wally and Steve
31:45that you went to Wonderland Falls with your parents when you were 10.
31:52What's going on, Jenny?
31:57What's going on, Jenny?
32:00My name's not Jenny.
32:03It's Dolores Gamble.
32:06And I've never been to Ohio.
32:08I was born and raised in Hamilton.
32:12Why did you lie?
32:18My parents died when I was 12.
32:21My grandma, she took me in.
32:24She was really sick.
32:28I was 15 when she died in the hospital.
32:34No one ever came for me.
32:38But I thought I could get by.
32:42I took odd jobs.
32:44One was cleaning a house for a woman who adopted a baby from the Lorraine Orphanage in Ohio.
32:51She said she couldn't retrieve her child's records.
32:55And that's where you got the idea.
32:57When I turned 17, I realized I was getting too old to ever be put in an orphanage.
33:05I couldn't find any work.
33:08Two Mounties found me sleeping in the park.
33:11One said to the other that I looked 15.
33:14If I said I was 15, I could stay in an orphanage longer.
33:20So, I made up a name.
33:23I said I was from the Ohio Orphanage.
33:26That's when I was put in the Hamilton Charitable Home.
33:31Why did you run away from there?
33:34When I turned 18, I realized I didn't belong there anymore.
33:38So, I ran away to Clearwater.
33:45And you had trouble making it on your own.
33:47I tried.
33:48I mean, I really did.
33:51But I know that's no excuse.
34:08Hi, Rodney.
34:09Maggie.
34:10What ails you today?
34:11I got a scratchy throat.
34:13I think it's from all my auctioneering.
34:15I bet.
34:16I have some tea that will fix that right up.
34:20Ah, terrific.
34:22What a crazy day.
34:24First I had to fire Sam, and then Hannah calls off the auction.
34:28You're fired, Sam.
34:29I thought he quit.
34:29Oh, no, no, no, no.
34:30He was fired.
34:31Why, may I ask?
34:33Well, he kept putting out these pastries that were hurting my business.
34:37Hunting?
34:38They're hideous.
34:39Yeah, they tasted like cardboard, only with less flavor.
34:43I wouldn't feed those things to my dog.
34:45Oh.
34:47Um, okay.
34:48Well, that's, that should do you just.
34:52Ah, dandy.
34:53What all you got?
34:56Well, at least the corporation didn't buy Lawrence Ranch.
34:59Yet.
35:00As long as it's in that woman's hands, anything is possible.
35:03For now, you need to turn your focus to negotiating a better rate for our cattle over at Cape Forage.
35:08I need top dollar.
35:09I will do my best.
35:10How long are you going for?
35:12A week or so.
35:18Is the auction over?
35:20I'm not selling.
35:22Really?
35:23Now I just have to figure out how to run a ranch.
35:26Oh.
35:28Trust you enjoyed that little stunt?
35:31Because you just wasted everyone's time.
35:35This wasn't personal, Tess, truly.
35:37I hope there's no hard feelings.
35:39Well, you can hope whatever you want.
35:43Ranching's tough.
35:45But it's even tougher with no friends.
35:50Who says you don't have any?
36:02Just got this telegram.
36:05Jenny's, or should I say divorce's, story checks out.
36:08She's from Hamilton.
36:10Her parents, Frank and Mabel Campbell, both died of whooping cough six years ago.
36:15The divorce was then taken in by her grandmother, who died of a lung issue three years later.
36:19No record after that.
36:21Poor girl.
36:22Yeah.
36:24She's had a rough life.
36:32Sam!
36:35How are you feeling?
36:37Better.
36:38Good.
36:39Because I have a surprise for you.
36:41You win.
36:53What's this?
36:56Apple strudel.
36:58Cannoli.
36:59Cardamom buns.
37:00Baklava.
37:02Peanut butter cookies.
37:04Sweets.
37:06For the sweetest man I know.
37:14So you know.
37:16You didn't have to lose your job over my tarts.
37:19No.
37:20Working the front desk wasn't for me.
37:23From now on, I'm going to stick to what I know best.
37:27Which is just about everything?
37:31I'm okay with my lack of expertise in baking.
37:35Are you?
37:40More than okay.
37:45Don't tell me you missed your train.
37:47I didn't.
37:49What are you doing?
37:50Making sure things are ship shape.
37:52I think you should stay on and run the ranch.
37:54Well, that'll be up to the new owner.
37:56You're right.
38:00You didn't sell?
38:01No.
38:03What about your business in St. Louis?
38:06I'll run it here.
38:08All right.
38:10Will you stay on?
38:11Different Lawrence, but same name.
38:13Nothing changes.
38:14Except your uncle was an actual rancher.
38:17Okay.
38:18He wasn't trying to run two different businesses.
38:19Okay, but other than that...
38:24Two peas in a pod.
38:28Is that a yes?
38:40You're not named Jenny?
38:42No, my real name is Dolores.
38:45And she's way older than you.
38:46So what, Art?
38:48So you're not an orphan?
38:49No, I'm...
38:51I'm still an orphan.
38:52But I am 18 now.
38:54So I don't belong here.
38:57Why did you say you're someone you're not?
39:02Because I was scared and hungry.
39:07But that...
39:08That is no excuse.
39:09You should never lie.
39:11And it always hurts people.
39:15Even yourself.
39:18I'll miss you.
39:19We'll all miss you.
39:21I...
39:22I will miss you all, too.
39:26Children, why don't you give us a moment to speak to Dolores?
39:53Am I in trouble with the Mounties?
39:56No, Dolores.
39:59But I hope you understand that given your age, we can't let you stay here under our care.
40:06I know.
40:08I'll be going.
40:09But we can offer you room and board in exchange for your help here.
40:15Really?
40:17You understand what it is to be an orphan.
40:20And you're a natural caretaker.
40:24We can't afford to pay you.
40:26But you could get a part-time job and make some of your own money.
40:46Can I go tell the children?
40:48Go ahead.
40:50You're staying?
40:51Yes, come here.
40:52Right now.
40:55Oh.
40:56I think more than anything, I just wanted to be part of a family.
41:02This is our second chance.
41:05I'm so glad you're staying.
41:09I think more than anything.
41:10I think more than anything, we'll be able to see.
