00:02They call it the land of opportunity.
00:05The journey you're about to begin will take courage and every ounce of perseverance you can muster.
00:12Where you are going, there will be unbounded horizons and endless adventures.
00:18This life is not for the faint of heart.
00:24Along with its unbridled promises come immense challenges.
00:28All sorts will be arriving into this vast territory seeking the freedom of the frontier.
00:37Some to strike it rich, others holding on to the hope of a brighter future.
00:44Alone you'll be called upon to be the law in a place where currently there is none.
00:52You 300, the first graduating class of the Northwest Mounted Police Force will need consummate skills in diplomacy.
01:00The powers granted you will extend to all aspects of government jurisdiction, but make no mistake gentlemen.
01:07Your primary job is to keep the peace.
01:10So go out there. Pave the way for these settlements.
01:14But always remember that in a world of right and wrong, uphold what is right.
01:25So if you want to give the peace.
01:34But always remember that in a world of right and wrong, uphold what is right.
01:47But always remember that in a world of north and west, public institution
02:15Can you fix it?
02:18No, there's no fixing that.
02:26We're going to have to leave the wagon behind.
02:32But what about all of our things?
02:42I'm here.
02:47I know it's been hard, Sarah.

20:48i'm really not sure mr moore would have helped if you hadn't
20:52tom's a decent man but sometimes he just needs to be pointed in the right direction

22:10buxton
22:10buxton
22:11it's close to here what's there
22:20this
22:22i bought it
22:28why would you go and do something like that
22:35no
22:36this can't be right
22:38over 15 miles northwest of buxton
22:43well bears a passing resemblance
22:51you've been swindled
22:58people say this building was going to be a bunkhouse but the rancher couldn't make a go of it
23:03long before i got here
23:06last year some fella arrived saying he won this property in a card game
23:10he was going to turn it into a boarding house
23:13a couple months ago he left and i'm assuming that was right after you wired him the money
23:18you don't have to stay you know
23:22it was a foolish notion from the get-go there's nobody around here wants a boarding house you're better off
23:27without it
23:27i'm better off
23:33you see what i'm saying the last thing we need is someone giving those locusts comfort
23:45i'm gonna go take care of something
23:53i'm gonna go take care of something
24:12howdy i need you to stop selling dynamite to these prospectors
24:15no can do tom i'm in the business of selling
24:19then i'll make it worth your while

24:35yes there's good money to be made from selling it
24:39oh listen tom
24:41i saw you and rebecca talking outside the old ramshackle
24:44what was that about
25:30i just heard
25:33no no no no it's not the end of the world
25:36although it isn't i would hate to see what it is
25:40i had
25:42a big dream
25:43of moving to the great northwest
25:48our journey here was hard
25:52it was so much harder than i thought it was going to be
25:57and you know what kept us going the whole time was talking about what life was going to be like
26:01in our new boarding house
26:06the northwest of the boarding house
26:08it became one big dream for me and sarah
26:13in my experience
26:16dreams are only good for breaking your heart
26:21i really don't know what i'm gonna do
26:23do you have any family near here
26:27how far are you from home
26:32too far
26:34and i can't i can't go back
26:38why not
26:42where i come from people with money can take whatever they want and it's not safe for sarah and me
26:53well i'm not sure how much safer it is here
26:56i mean we get all sorts
27:12there's a place called union city a few days away
27:14you could probably get work there
27:17doing what?
27:18wow
27:19you got medical experience don't you?
27:21not enough
27:23then maybe you could pitch a tent and try your luck panning for gold

28:03thank you
28:04thank you
28:05rebecca
28:08the fellow who sold you this was no good
28:11but from a selfish perspective
28:13i thought the boarding house was a good idea
28:15it'd bring in more business
28:19except it was never anything more than that
28:20an idea
28:32how was your time with peggy's children today?
28:35i just read my book
28:37why didn't you try and make friends?
28:40because we don't know who we can trust anymore

29:57no
29:58i get the sense you're nobody's fool

30:06i figured it was a decision made in haste
30:08with a certain measure of desperation
30:14i guess i'll never see that many again

37:18Rebecca!
37:24What are you doing here?
37:27You were out all night.
37:32I delivered a baby at the prospector's camp.
37:37I'll never do a moment with you, right?
37:41Where's Sarah?
37:43To sleep at the trading post.
37:46Were you worried about us?
37:49No, I was just curious.
37:55You said this is a hard life.
37:58It certainly is.
38:02It's so beautiful, though.
38:06A land of new beginnings.
38:10What are you thinking?
38:12I'm thinking that...
38:13Of all the choices I could make...
38:17The only one that matters is what's best for Sarah.
38:27Good morning.
38:48Mama!
38:51There you are, sleepyhead.
38:54What are you doing?
38:56I'm just thinking about which window should be ours.
39:00Ours?
39:01We and we're staying?
39:05Everything that we've dreamed about, we can still have.
39:09Really?
39:11This is gonna be a bigger job than the wheel.
39:14It is.
39:16We can do it.
39:19We can do it.
39:22You know, she said Tom was worried about you, so we came looking.
39:26We're alright.
39:27Thanks for checking.
39:28Alright.
39:30You wanna go play?
39:31Alright then.
39:35Ready to get to work?
39:37Ready.
39:38Ready.
39:38Well, first thing that I need you to do, is go over there and see if you can play with
39:44those kids.
39:47I wanna help you.
39:48I don't...
39:49I know.
39:50We take care of each other, right?
39:51Yeah.
39:51This is me taking care of you.
39:54Elise.
39:54I don't know.
39:55Mama, I...
39:57You need this.
39:58No.
40:03Why don't we take a turn?
40:07There we go.
40:25For all the help that you've offered us, I'll be by to pick up my wagon soon.
40:30Sometimes you have to cut your losses and move on.
40:32Who said anything about moving on?
40:34I came to open a boarding house, and that's what I intend to do.
40:38This ain't no boarding house.
40:40It will be.
40:42Like you said, prospectors are coming more and more every day.
40:45They will leave as soon as the goal is gone.
40:48I'm betting they won't.
40:50With all due respect, I think you're making a big mistake.
40:53You know, change is here, Mr. Moore, whether you like it or not.
40:57I'm fine with change, so long as it doesn't affect me, its territory, my ranch.
41:04I hope you hold on to your hat.
41:06I will.
41:07Hey, you, rancher.
41:10What's the problem?
41:11You can't tell Hattie not to sell me dynamite.
41:14Well, it turns out I can.
41:15You're bound to hurt somebody.
41:17The only person getting hurt here is you.
41:20Hey, come on down.
41:23There are women and children here.
41:25Be careful.
41:29Hey, that's enough.
41:31Smile at him.
41:34Hey!
41:35That's enough.
41:38Who are you?
41:40I'm Constable Alexander Vaughn, member of the new police force.
41:44Police force?
41:48The Northwest Mounted Police.
41:51Never heard of you.
41:53Well, now you have.
41:55Well, out here, ranchers take care of their own business.
41:58Troublemakers included.
42:00Not anymore.
42:02I represent the law, and no one's above it.
42:11This season on Hope Valley, 1874.
42:14You the one who bought that wreck?
42:16It's a boarding house.
42:17It seems like everywhere I turn, something else is falling down.
42:20You're not going to let a little thing like money stop me, are you?
42:22I'm going to see this through.
42:23Well, I guess that puts us on opposite sides.
42:26Do there have to be sides?
42:27It's going to be beautiful.
42:29The government are going to publish sketches of the frontier.
42:32They're looking for drawings that capture the promise and romance of what's out here.
42:37If someday you have the chance to do something bigger with your life, you should jump at it.
42:44Are we really safe now, Mama?
42:46Yes, we are.
42:47I think we finally are.
42:48Folks have been finding gold in this new stream.
42:50Get off my land.
42:51Who says it's your land?
42:52More gold means more criminals.
42:54Run!
42:55Sarah!
42:56Mama!
42:57I just thought this far out west, no one would ever find us.
43:00You brought her across the frontier and you built a home on nothing.
43:04There's no shortage of courage, Rebecca Clark.
43:07Same to you, Mr. Moore.
43:09No.
