00:01Okay, can I see it? We're almost there. Oh, I like it. Welcome to our new bedroom.
00:11I love it. Thank you. You're welcome.
00:15All right, can I bring you my things? Yes.
00:18Boy, it certainly seems to have made her day.
00:20Yeah, how do you look at these curtains? I stayed up all night working on these, but something's not quite
00:24right.
00:25Oh no, Rebecca, they look fine. I don't know. I've got to do all the guest rooms in these, and
00:28if the pattern's not right, I'm going to have to start all over again.
00:29Rebecca, how are you doing?
00:33What do you mean?
00:34Well, you seem a little preoccupied with being occupied.
00:39Oh, I'm probably just trying to get the boarding house in order.
00:43Yeah, but nothing's going on.
00:47Well, uh, Jim's birthday in a few days. Probably just distracting myself.
00:56Okay. First one since he passed.
01:01Oh, that's pretty hard.
01:05How's Sarah?
01:07I haven't found a way of talking to her about it yet. She's been so happy.
01:12Okay, I know exactly where I'm going to put the bed.
01:15Where?
01:16Rebecca!
01:17It's here!
01:18Oh!
01:19Oh!
01:20Yes!
01:20Let's go see it!
01:21Yes, yes, yes!
01:22Oh, it's beautiful!
01:24Thank you, ma'am.
01:25Do you still want it in the middle?
01:26Yes, I do. Just right. Just here. Um, yes. Over, over, over. Stop.
01:31Oh!
01:32Oh, my goodness!
01:35Oh, wow, Clayton.
01:38This is where my boarders will start and end their days.
01:41Us too.
01:42Us too.
01:43Clayton, you truly outdid yourself.
01:45Eh, it was Olivia's design.
01:46Well, we did it together.
01:48And, Rebecca, the whole place looks so beautiful. It could be shown in a magazine.
01:51I don't know about that. I still have to finish all the boarders rooms and, uh, oh, I've got to
01:54make lunch for the mess tent.
01:55Oh, everything doesn't have to happen at once.
01:57It actually does because, uh, I've got to pay Vince for all the furniture that's on the way.
02:01Mama, don't forget about the mattresses Jenny and I have been making at the ranch.
02:05Yes, we'll get those today.
02:07When are you taking on boarders?
02:08No time like the present.
02:11Alexander.
02:12You're back.
02:13All is well in my territory.
02:15You miss me?
02:17We always do.
02:18All right, um, welcome back. Your room is not ready yet, sadly.
02:22I guess I'll just have to take it as is.
02:25Are you sure? Because I haven't been expecting boarders, so it's not nice.
02:30Be sleeping outside.
02:31Besides, I like the neighborhood.
02:35Must have a lot of work to catch up on Alexander.
02:38Actually, I do have a lot of paperwork for you back at the trading post.
02:41Folks are bringing by their applications for land patents.
02:44I'll be right over to pick those up.
02:45As soon as I'm settled?
02:49Uh, yes. All right. Follow me, I'll show you to your room.
02:59Sir, are you all right?
03:02Yeah, but I just didn't know the policeman would live here.
03:09All right, here it is. Just, uh, four walls and a ceiling and a floor.
03:14It's perfect.
03:16I hope to have a mattress for you tonight.
03:18Mattress would be grand.
03:19Uh, it was $5 a week we agreed to.
03:24Oh, yes. Thank you.
03:25Oh, this is, um, seven.
03:28Yes, about that. Uh, my commanding officer has authorized me to make your boarding house my base of operations.
03:38I'm sorry?
03:39If that's okay with you, of course.
03:41It might just mean using your parlor every now and then for Mountie business, which I'd try to keep to
03:46a minimum.
03:49If the additional $2 a week isn't enough...
03:54It's fine.
03:56Grant, uh, he will need you to sign this contract.
04:08If you're worried about me bringing danger to your door, I assure you, the whole reason I'm out here is
04:15to protect folks like you and your daughter.
04:19All right.
04:20Well, have a look.
04:26Look, you said there wouldn't be any police in the Northwest.
04:28I, that's what I was told. I didn't know about them starting an entirely new force.
04:33Now there's a policeman living with us.
04:35He does seem well-intentioned.
04:39But perhaps we ought to be careful how much we say to him about where we're from.
04:43So they won't find us?
04:45That's right.
04:46Whoa.
04:53Easy, easy, easy.
04:55We can't afford both of us having broken legs.
04:57Somebody's gotta break in this here stallion.
04:59Hey, easy, easy.
05:00I gotta be straight with you, Tom.
05:01I don't got a good feeling about this.
05:03Thunder and I here, we got a bit of an understanding, don't we?
05:06It's gonna be a short, smooth ride.
05:09If you say so.
05:10Here we go.
05:16There you go.
05:22Certainly short.
05:24Not exactly smooth.
05:26Very funny.
05:28Okay.
05:30Just take him back.
05:31Give him a little break.
05:32Are you okay, Mr. Moore?
05:33It's like you want to get hurt.
05:35I tried to warn him.
05:37I'm fine.
05:37Thanks for asking, Sarah.
05:38See, Sarah, only his pride is broken.
05:42Well, that's a good one.
05:43Can I go find Jenny?
05:44Yes.
05:44Yes.
05:45But don't forget, we've gotta serve lunch at the mess tent.
05:47Okay, Mama.
05:50So, what's the secret to breaking a horse, anyway?
05:53It's just finding common ground.
05:55Ah.
05:56Is that just not one of your strong suits?
06:00Clayton tells me you've been putting my lumber to use.
06:02I have, yes.
06:03I'm almost finished with all the rooms in the boarding house.
06:06That's good.
06:07Yeah.
06:08Should be celebrating.
06:09I should be, except that Constable Vaughn is moving in.
06:12A little too close for comfort.
06:15I can't believe I moved us all the way out here to avoid crooked policemen,
06:18and now he's making the boarding house into a police station.
06:22The only difference, of course, being that Vaughn is too much of a by-the-books man to be crooked.
06:27Suspicion breeds suspicion.
06:30Try not to give him anything to be worried about.
06:33Yeah, you're right.
06:37Mama, look!
06:37Oh!
06:38We can carry it ourselves!
06:40That's a big load for small fry.
06:42Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
06:43Let me help you here.
06:44Let me help you here.
06:45You ready?
06:45Yeah.
06:46I got you.
06:46Go, come on.
06:47Use your legs, use your muscles, use your muscles.
07:01Hey, what is going on here?
07:03Look at all this water.
07:06Cool up there.
07:08What's going on?
07:09Sea alfalfa.
07:10It's flooded.
07:19Shoots are drowning.
07:21He's from the rain?
07:24No.
07:26This water came fast.
07:29It's too much for the soil.
07:34It's coming from the stream.
07:36It's coming from the stream.
07:41I'll come with you.
07:42No.
07:42You and John go get some ranch hands and start digging drainage ditches as quick as you can
07:46or all this work will have been for nothing.
07:47You got it.
07:49Save Crop Nash.
07:52Let's go.
07:56We're going to have to hurry if we're going to make soup in time for lunch.
07:59Okay, Mama.
08:01And then I'll go back to the boarding house and keep working on the rooms.
08:05Alright.
08:07Okay.
08:08This is Clark.
08:09Brought to your loaf of sourdough.
08:11Thank you so much, Rachel.
08:12How did you do this without an oven?
08:14In a pot.
08:15On a fire pit.
08:16Well, that must not be easy.
08:18You know, you're welcome to use the oven at the boarding house anytime.
08:21I don't mind taking you off on that.
08:22Alright.
08:22I was wondering, maybe I could keep bringing you sourdough, um...
08:27Maybe I could keep making you sourdough in exchange for meals.
08:31Uh, Lars and I have been saving up to move into a place.
08:34I think that's a great idea.
08:37Should we be reserving you a room?
08:40Lars has been away a lot.
08:43Panning.
08:44It's been, um...
08:46Tough getting him to commit.
08:47Yeah.
08:49I understand.
08:51Help me help you.
08:55You know, I remember after Sarah was born, Jim went away to war, and then after...
09:04It's, uh...
09:05It's hard to be on your own.
09:11You gotta look out for each other.
09:21Archie Doyle and Tom Moore.
09:27This is going get ugly.
09:35A dam?
09:38That's right.
09:39Your dam upstream flooded my property, Doyle.
09:43Oh, that wasn't my intent.
09:46Well, what did you think was gonna happen?
09:50Well...
09:52First off, who says this is your land?
09:54Me.
09:55And second, that mounted police officer said we could prospect here, and that's exactly what we're doing.
10:00You tell, Paul.
10:01There's nothing you could do.
10:05Actually, there is.
10:07I've applied for a land patent to keep you off my land for good.
10:11Yeah.
10:12I applied too.
10:15Soon...
10:17This'll all be ours.
10:38Good.
10:43This will be ours.
10:45Right.
10:46Let's go.
11:19Sandbags doing anything?
11:20Yeah, helping to stem the flow away from the field.
11:22Water keeps coming, though.
11:25Dodo's got no right.
11:27Well, the problem is that Mountie's made him believe he does.
11:29Which is why I've got to put a stop to it.
11:33Want some backup?
11:34No.
11:35I'm going to handle this one on my own.
11:38Let's work, boys.
11:41Alright, I think this is everything.
11:44Coffee, beans.
11:45Sounds delicious.
11:47Bacon.
11:48Oh, good morning.
11:49Come on in.
11:50I've made you a plate.
11:52Much appreciated.
11:53Hi.
11:54Speaking of any offered to bake bread in your oven.
11:55Oh, fantastic.
11:56Constable looks like we'll have fresh bread in a few hours.
11:59Fresh bread?
12:00Doesn't get better than that.
12:03Mama, furniture is here.
12:05Oh, he's a week early.
12:11Oh, my goodness.
12:13Mama, we have furniture.
12:14We have furniture.
12:15You see, that's why I love my job.
12:17People are happy to see me.
12:18I don't get that in my line of work.
12:20Vince, you're early.
12:22Well, I reckon you'd be eager to get a hold of this stuff.
12:24Oh, I am.
12:25I just have your money all quite together right now.
12:28Well, I hear you're a woman of your word, so don't worry about it.
12:32I'll help out.
12:33Great.
12:33Okay, yes.
12:34How about we all pitch in?
12:35Hello.
12:36Hey.
12:39Pat, can you go over there, buddy?
12:40Oh, thank you.
12:43Oh, gosh.
12:45Here's a little bit of dining table.
12:47Just go to play that, right?
12:50Whoa.
12:51Are you all right?
12:53Maybe you should have a seat in one of your brand new chairs.
12:57That's all right.
12:58I just have to get this finished so I can get to the mess tent and pay for all of
13:00it.
13:01No, just maybe you should take a moment for yourself.
13:03Well, when was the last time you ate?
13:05I'm all right.
13:05Don't worry about me.
13:06What?
13:28Finally.
13:32Warren.
13:33Hello.
13:34You see the constable?
13:36Yes, he's inside.
13:37Ah, thank you.
13:43You okay?
13:46Yes, I think I just...
13:48Would I help you?
13:49I just took up to...
13:49Whoa, hey, whoa, shit.
13:50Rebecca.
13:54Rebecca.
13:56Whoa, whoa, what happened?
13:58I don't know.
13:59She collapsed.
14:03What's wrong with Mama?
14:04She'll be okay, honey.
14:07Rebecca.
14:11Rebecca.
14:20Hey.
14:23You all right?
14:24I just stood up too fast.
14:26That's a Z.
14:26Yeah, I got you.
14:28There you go.
14:29Take it slow.
14:32Oh, sweetheart, I'm all right.
14:34Yeah.
14:34Been overdoing us all.
14:36Yeah.
14:37Bye.
14:37Thank you, everyone.
14:39Oh, we gotta get to the mess tent.
14:41Oh, I don't think that's such a good idea.
14:43Now that you've got a new bedroom, let's get you where it's quieter.
14:46Yeah.
14:47Come on.
14:48Okay.
14:49Hey, Olivia.
14:51Sarah.
14:53Vince delivered a fresh patch of rock candy to the trading post.
14:55Why don't we go get some?
14:58Come on.
15:02Well, that's enough excitement for me.
15:04Boy's best to get in shit.
15:05I'd best get to my breath.
15:16Constable, I was actually coming here to talk to you.
15:18Don't you say anything.
15:18I know about the dual applications.
15:21Great.
15:22What are you going to do about it?
15:23I'm going to review the law, and I'll make a determination.
15:27No, you said that all I had to do was file a land patent.
15:31I never said that filing alone would settle the matter.
15:35Doyle has dammed my stream, and he's putting my crop in jeopardy.
15:39I need that feed for my cattle this winter, and I need you to get him off my land.
15:46Mr. Moore.
15:49I'll hold an emergency hearing tomorrow to resolve it.
15:54Good.
16:03Here you go.
16:04No, thank you.
16:12Must have given you quite a fright, seeing your mama like that.
16:18A little rest, and she'll be right as rain.
16:21That's what they said when my papa got sick.
16:26Except you never got better.
16:29That must have been really hard for you.
16:32I know I was really sad when I lost my pot, too.
16:36I really miss him.
16:38Of course you do.
16:46Papi used to take me on long walks, and then he'd give me a piggyback ride when I got tired.
16:52That's a beautiful memory, Sarah.
16:55I think about him all the time, but talking about it makes mama sad.
17:09Ginger tea?
17:11Just like you asked, Moore.
17:12Oh, thank you.
17:13This will help with the dizziness.
17:18You really need to take better care of yourself.
17:19I will, as soon as this boarding house is in order.
17:25Sarah's really worried about you being okay.
17:28Well, I'll get up and show her that I'm fine.
17:31No, no, she's fine.
17:32She's with Olivia right now.
17:36Rebecca, distractions only helped for so long.
17:42Maybe I just need some fresh air.
17:47You know, when you're up for it, there's something I'd like to show you.
17:57It's my first real nugget.
17:58It's a good one.
18:00Okay.
18:01Half an ounce.
18:02I can give you $10 for that.
18:06I thought it'd be Moore.
18:08I'm sorry, Lars.
18:09It's what it's worth.
18:21Constable.
18:23Tom Moore's still giving me trouble at the creek.
18:25He says you damaged his crop.
18:27Oh, I have just as much right to my livelihood as he has is.
18:30Your land patent applications cover the same territory.
18:34So tomorrow I'm holding a hearing to decide whose prevails.
18:37Let me ask you this.
18:39Who filed first?
18:42You did.
18:45So I win.
18:47Wasn't that decided?
18:49I'll see you tomorrow at the boarding house.
18:51It's 10 a.m.
18:53I'll be there.
19:01Rachel.
19:03You finished early today.
19:06Yeah, I made it fine.
19:08Got ten greenbacks for it.
19:10Lars, that's two weeks' rent to the boarding house.
19:15What's wrong?
19:21I need to tell you something, Rachel.
19:24What is it?
19:28We can't move in.
19:30The money we have will barely cover food and whatnot.
19:34Oh.
19:35You could find more.
19:37All the time I've been here, that's the biggest nugget I've found.
19:41It takes that long again.
19:46It just isn't enough.
19:55I'm sorry.
19:58But that you don't.
20:02All these promises of striking a ridge.
20:08Maybe buying our own farm one day.
20:15You haven't let me down one bit, Lars Joost.
20:18No.
20:21I followed you out here.
20:24Because this was our dream.
20:28You know, when you look at me,
20:31you always see a failure.
20:32When I look at you,
20:35I see a wonderful husband
20:37and father.
20:40A kind,
20:42hardworking man.
20:45You may have been looking for Peter in that stream.
20:49I hit Peter the day I married you.
20:54I feel same about you.
20:57We're going to figure this out.
20:59Together.
21:07This is stunning.
21:10This is Frank's lucky fishing spot.
21:15I always assumed me and Frank would grow old together,
21:19but my life changed in the blink of an eye.
21:23Heart attack.
21:25Jim died of pleurisy
21:27a week after his last birthday.
21:33Such a long illness.
21:36His care and Sarah's well-being
21:37naturally
21:39became the most important thing.
21:40It took up all the time,
21:41and then
21:43afterward,
21:44it just became about
21:45keeping Sarah safe.
21:47How long after Jim died
21:48did you start planning this trip
21:49to the Northwest?
21:53Weeks.
21:55Rebecca, see,
21:57you never had time to grieve.
22:03I heard Sarah talking to Olivia earlier.
22:06I think she'd really love
22:08to talk to you about her father,
22:09but
22:10she's worried about upsetting you.
22:17Uh-oh.
22:18I didn't mean to make her feel that way.
22:20No.
22:22No.
22:23I...
22:23After Frank died,
22:24I tried to be strong
22:25for Olivia.
22:27I had to show her
22:27and everyone else
22:28that I could just carry on
22:29so nothing had happened,
22:31but
22:32grief has a way of
22:33catching up with you
22:34whether you like it or not.
22:36That is the truth.
22:40So I started coming out here
22:42to be with Frank.
22:44Hmm.
22:46And the memories
22:47just made me smile.
22:49I used to sit on that rock
22:51and say,
22:51oh, honey,
22:52have faith,
22:53I'm going to catch a big one.
22:54And then tell Olivia
22:56that there were mermaids
22:58in the lake
22:58and
23:00treasure in the river.
23:02Well,
23:02it wasn't wrong about that.
23:03Oh, you're right.
23:05You're right.
23:08But
23:08you helped me
23:09get through my grief
23:11and appreciate
23:12the time we actually
23:13had together.
23:17Oh,
23:18I envy you that.
23:19Oh,
23:20you don't got to envy me.
23:22You just got to take
23:23some time
23:24to feel your feelings.
23:26Give yourself
23:26some grace.
23:32Yeah,
23:32I guess I can
23:34mend up a boarding house
23:35till it sparkles.
23:36not alone
23:37won't mend
23:38my broken heart.
23:40Come on.
23:42La.
23:43Thanks, honey.
23:46Of course.
23:54Are you sure
23:55you're feeling all right?
23:57Yes.
23:58Oh, sweetie,
23:59I just
24:00sometimes I think
24:01I have to do
24:01everything at once.
24:03I'm learning my lesson
24:04so now.
24:07I was afraid.
24:09I'm sorry.
24:13I'm sure you were
24:14after the way
24:15Papa left us.
24:16I must have worried
24:17you even more.
24:22You know,
24:22tomorrow's his birthday.
24:25I know.
24:28I thought you forgot.
24:30You thought I forgot.
24:31I will never,
24:33I will never forget.
24:34He's always going to be
24:35a part of our lives.
24:37Yeah.
24:40I just wish
24:41I could talk to him
24:43one more time.
24:45May I tell you
24:46what he told me
24:46a thousand times?
24:47That being your Papa
24:49changed his life.
24:50He said that?
24:52He did.
24:53A thousand other
24:54wonderful things.
24:57What did he tell you
24:58before he left us?
25:00He said that he loves me
25:02and that I'm kind
25:03and smart
25:05and I'm trustworthy
25:06and that he was
25:07grateful for the time
25:07that he had with us.
25:08That's right.
25:13I think it's okay
25:14for us to be sad
25:15that he's gone, Sarah.
25:17And we can be happy
25:18for the time
25:19that we had with him.
25:21Yeah.
25:25Oh, I want
25:25to show you something.
25:35Who's waiting
25:36for the right time
25:37to show you
25:37what he wrote to you
25:38in the back
25:38of this portrait?
25:41Do, Sarah.
25:42You will always be
25:43the source
25:44of my greatest pride.
25:46Love, Papa.
25:48Remember this day
25:49that we posed
25:49for the photograph?
25:51Yeah, Papa
25:51forget making me laugh.
25:52He did.
25:53He loved making you laugh.
25:56What are some of your
25:57other favorite memories
25:58of him?
26:00Making apples
26:01in the fall.
26:02I loved that.
26:04We would go
26:05to the countryside
26:05and get bushels full.
26:07We ate apple everything.
26:09He loved it.
26:10He loved it.
26:10Apple cake,
26:11apple strudel.
26:11Apple pies.
26:13Apple pies.
26:13Who knew pie making
26:14was going to come in
26:15so handy?
26:20I'd really like
26:21to leave this photo out
26:22if it's all right
26:23with you.
26:23Yeah.
26:24Someplace we can
26:25see it every day.
26:27Yeah.
26:38Would you help me
26:39with this, Sarah?
26:40Yeah.
26:41Yeah.
27:02Oh, hello.
27:05Oh, hi.
27:06What do you have there?
27:07Just some supplies
27:08for Rebecca?
27:10Burning the midnight oil?
27:12I'm preparing
27:13for a hearing tomorrow.
27:14Oh.
27:15I have to make a decision
27:16about a land dispute.
27:18Police officer
27:19and a magistrate
27:20all rolled into one.
27:22Impressive.
27:24It's more out of necessity
27:26than anything else.
27:27The fact is
27:28just 300 of us Mounties
27:29have been sent out here
27:30to cover almost
27:32two and a half million
27:33square miles.
27:34Not a lot of magistrates
27:35running around,
27:36so they gave us
27:37that responsibility as well.
27:39Have you ever had
27:40to make a decision like this?
27:44I just hope
27:44I'm up to the task.
27:46Tom Moore
27:47and Archie Doyle
27:48both got strong opinions
27:49on how this should go.
27:51Well,
27:52just remember
27:55you're the one
27:55wearing the uniform.
28:09Oh,
28:10Laura,
28:10it's Rachel.
28:11What do you got there?
28:12Well,
28:13we were hoping
28:14that you might be able
28:14to buy some of this
28:15panning equipment
28:16off of us.
28:17We made a decision.
28:18We're,
28:19we're packing up
28:20and we're moving on.
28:22Oh,
28:22no,
28:23you're giving up
28:24prospecting?
28:25Truth is,
28:25I was never good at it
28:26and my family
28:28needs a proper roof
28:29over their heads.
28:30Well,
28:31where will you go?
28:32We thought we'd try
28:33Union City?
28:34Well,
28:34maybe I could work
28:35at the candle factory there.
28:36No,
28:36no,
28:36tell you what,
28:37how about I extend
28:38you some credit
28:38and you just stay on
28:39a little while longer?
28:40And Rachel,
28:41I could easily sell
28:43your delicious sourdough.
28:45We sure do
28:46appreciate the offer,
28:47but it's,
28:49it's simply not going to be
28:50enough for our future.
28:51Well,
28:52we'll give you
28:52a good price
28:53for the equipment.
28:54Yeah,
28:55but we're just
28:57really going to miss you.
28:59We'll miss you too.
29:02Can I let you in
29:03on a secret?
29:05You've been
29:05our favorite prospectors.
29:20Welcome.
29:24Let's begin.
29:29I've made my decision.
29:32I've made my decision.
29:33That's enough.
29:34Settle down,
29:35you two.
29:39Let's begin.
29:40Okay.
29:45Gospel,
29:47what's everyone else
29:48doing here?
29:48We all wanted to know
29:49if we were going to
29:50lose our land
29:50to these Johnny-come-latelys.
29:52Oh,
29:53well,
29:53take a seat.
29:54Hi.
29:55Hello.
29:56You feeling better?
29:57Much.
30:01Oh,
30:01I suppose this concerns
30:02all of you as well?
30:03Well,
30:04you got that right.
30:10You ranchers
30:11aren't the only ones
30:12who got numbers.
30:13Looks that way.
30:18Jeremiah,
30:20not you too.
30:22Sorry, Tom.
30:23So am I.
30:25Let's get started.
30:33I was trying.
30:34I was trying.
30:35Hey,
30:35you deserve it.
30:36I can't beat it.
30:37No,
30:37I'm not going to let go.
30:38It's life.
30:40This is a free country.
30:42We ought to be able to prospect
30:43where we want.
30:44Hey,
30:44easy on the table.
30:46While you're in my establishment,
30:47you will treat the furniture
30:49and each other with respect
30:50or I'll send you outside.
30:53Yes,
30:53man.
30:57Sorry.
30:59Tom Moore
30:59and Archie Doyle.
31:01The matter at hand
31:01concerns the two of you.
31:03So,
31:03I will allow each of you
31:04to make a statement
31:05and then I will make my decision
31:07as to who gets the property.
31:10Mr. Moore,
31:11first you.
31:16Look,
31:18I've been working this land
31:19over three and a half years
31:19before there was any law
31:20on these parts.
31:22but now that there is,
31:24I filed my application.
31:27I poured my soul
31:28into this ranch
31:29and it's taken my blood,
31:30sweat,
31:31and tears.
31:33And the fine folks
31:35who live and work here
31:36are counting on me
31:37to continue doing so.
31:39There should be no question
31:41who it belongs to.
31:44That's all I've got to say.
31:51You should stand, Paul.
31:53I stand for no man.
31:57This rancher
31:58thinks he can plant a flag
32:00in the ground
32:01and claim everything he sees
32:02as his own.
32:03Well, it don't work that way.
32:06My daughter here,
32:07she's smart as a whip.
32:09She read a newspaper article
32:10about this law.
32:13Come on.
32:19Said that to get a land patent,
32:20you've got to be the first person
32:22to file an application
32:23for that property.
32:24That's me.
32:26It also says
32:27that to file the application,
32:28you have to work the land
32:29which I have done
32:30by damning that creek
32:32and prospecting.
32:33So, by law,
32:35that property belongs to me.
32:50I need a few minutes
32:52to collect my thoughts.
32:54For why?
32:56It's the law.
32:56It's the law.
32:57What you got to claim?
32:58It's not a ranch.
32:59What you got to claim?
33:02Hey!
33:07If things get out of hand
33:08while I'm gone,
33:09neither of you
33:10will get the property.
33:19Can you do that?
33:20You should be able to.
33:22I don't think you can do that.
33:24I don't think you can do that either.
33:38Here we go.
33:39Here we go.
33:40I have made my decision.
33:45The new land patent law is clear.
33:48First to file the application
33:49gets the property.
33:50And it is my finding
33:52that Archie Doyle
33:53filed his application
33:55before Tom Moore.
33:55You have got to be kidding me.
33:58However,
34:02I remember the words
34:04of my commissioner
34:05who said,
34:07in a world of right and wrong,
34:10uphold what is right.
34:15Tom Moore's been working
34:16this land for years,
34:17long before the prospectors arrived.
34:21This new law was targeted
34:22at the vast territory
34:24that remains wild,
34:26unclaimed,
34:26not a ranch like his.
34:29And it is for that reason
34:30that I will be accepting
34:31his application
34:33and not Mr.
34:34There you go.
34:35Eureka!
34:36There we go.
34:37So you're saying
34:39I can't prospect on the creek
34:42even though I followed the rules.
34:44Not on the property
34:45that I've ruled belongs to Tom Moore.
34:46And you can't do anything
34:47to the waterways
34:48that would damage his land either.
34:50There you go.
34:50Get your damn
34:51off my property, Doyle.
34:54Should have stood up, Paul.
34:58There are other streams
34:59not on his property
35:01but nearby.
35:02But it would take me
35:03nearly a day to get to him.
35:05There's a thing
35:06called an easement.
35:07It allows people
35:08to cross another person's property.
35:10Under the circumstances,
35:11I'm going to rule
35:12that you also have an easement
35:13to get to those streams.
35:14Wait, wait, wait.
35:15I thought this ruling
35:16was going to keep him
35:17off my land entirely.
35:18Then you thought wrong.
35:19No.
35:20Yes, and that's it.
35:21Good day to you all.
35:23It still isn't right.
35:24I'm taking this up
35:25with your superior.
35:26Go ahead.
35:27On a fast horse?
35:28It'll take you a week
35:28to reach him.
35:29But be my guest.
35:30Now,
35:31I think Mrs. Clark
35:32would very much appreciate
35:34having her dining room back.
35:39Dismissed.
35:53Well,
35:54how do you feel?
35:55I can't say I'm happy
35:56about the fact that Doyle
35:57gets to cross my land,
35:59but
36:00could have gone worse.
36:02Constable Vaughn
36:03seems like a fair man
36:04who wants to see
36:05real justice done.
36:07Yeah.
36:08It's beautiful.
36:10What have you done here?
36:18Mrs. Clark?
36:19Hello.
36:22Couldn't leave
36:23without saying goodbye?
36:24Leave?
36:26You've been real good to us.
36:27What do you mean?
36:28Where?
36:28I don't understand.
36:30Why?
36:30It's time to face facts.
36:32I didn't have much luck
36:33as prospector.
36:34I made more working for you.
36:36We'll never forget you.
36:41Wait.
36:43Uh...
36:45I have a business proposition
36:46for you.
36:48If you stay
36:48and run my mess tent,
36:50then you can live here
36:51for free.
36:52Room and board.
36:53Really?
36:54Really.
36:55I can't continue
36:56to run the mess tent
36:56and the boarding house
36:57and it's a part-time job
36:58so you can still
36:59try your hand
37:00at panning for gold.
37:02That sounds...
37:03You've got to be true.
37:05What do you say?
37:06Yes.
37:07Absolutely.
37:08Yes.
37:09Wonderful.
37:10Thank you, Rebecca.
37:11Yes.
37:15All right.
37:17Crisis averted.
37:18Go get your things.
37:18I'll show you your room.
37:23How's the field looking?
37:24We did it.
37:25Alfalfa's gonna be
37:26just fine, boss.
37:27Well, that is great work.
37:29Gentlemen,
37:29you saved the crop.
37:31Yeah.
37:33I'm forever grateful.
37:35Just doing our job.
37:36We?
37:37I should say,
37:37they did.
37:39We're useless
37:40with this cast.
37:41Don't sell yourself short.
37:42Even with a cast,
37:42you're my most steady hand.
38:04Oh, that should be deep enough.
38:11Pick a good one.
38:15Is this for you, Papa?
38:17Happy birthday.
38:18Mm-hmm.
38:21Well,
38:22that apple seed
38:23will grow into a tree.
38:25Now, every time
38:26we look out our window
38:27and see it,
38:28we'll think of Papa's sweetness
38:30and his hope
38:31for our future.
38:35the fruit вр
38:36guide.
38:46Bye-bye.
38:47See you next time.
38:47Bye-bye.
38:48Bye-bye.
38:49Bye-bye.
38:50Bye-bye.
