00:01Okay.
00:01Can I see it?
00:02We're almost there.
00:03Oh, I like it.
00:04Welcome to our new bedroom.
00:11I love it.
00:13You're welcome.
00:15Alright, can I bring you my things?
00:16Yes.
00:18Boy, it certainly seems to have made her day.
00:20Yeah.
00:21How do you look at these curtains?
00:22I stayed up all night working on these, but something's not quite right.
00:24Oh no, Rebecca, they look fine.
00:26I don't know.
00:26I've got to do all the guest rooms in these, and if the pattern's not right, I'm going
00:29to have to start all over again.
00:30Rebecca!
00:31How you doing?
00:33What do you mean?
00:34Well, you seem a little preoccupied with being occupied.
00:38Oh.
00:39I'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.
00:51Probably just distracting myself.
00:54Okay.
00:56First 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.
01:09She's been so happy.
01:12Um...
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!
01:21Yes, yes, yes!
01:22Oh, it's beautiful!
01:24Thank you, ma'am.
01:25Do you still want it in the middle?
01:25Yes, I do.
01:27Uh, just right.
01:27Just here.
01:28Um, yes.
01:29Over, over, over.
01:30Stop.
01:31Oh!
01:32Oh, my goodness!
01:35Oh, wow.
01:37Clayton!
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.
01:45It was Olivia's design.
01:46Well, we did it together.
01:48Rebecca!
01:48The whole place looks so beautiful.
01:50It could be shown in a magazine.
01:51I don't know about that.
01:52I still have to finish all the boarders rooms and, uh...
01:54Oh, I've got to make 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.
02:06When 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.
02:19Um, welcome back.
02:20Your room is not ready yet, sadly.
02:22I guess I'll just have to take it as is.
02:25Are you sure?
02:26Because I haven't been expecting boarders, so it's not... nice.
02:30Be sleeping outside.
02:31Besides, I...
02:32I 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.
02:50All right.
02:50Follow me.
02:51I'll show you to your room.
02:59Sarah, are you all right?
03:02Yeah.
03:03I...
03:04I just didn't know the policeman would live here.
03:09All right, here it is.
03:10Just, 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...
03:20It was...
03:22Five dollars a week we agreed to.
03:24Oh, yes.
03:25Oh, this is, um, seven.
03:27Yes.
03:28About that.
03:30Uh...
03:30My 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.
03:40It 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 two dollars a week isn't enough...
03:54It's fine.
03:56Grant.
03:56Uh, 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.
04:20I'll have a look.
04:26What? You said there wouldn't be any police in the Northwest.
04:28I...
04:28That's what I was told.
04:30I 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.
04:52Easy, easy, easy.
04:54We can't afford both of us having broken legs.
04:57Somebody's got to break in this here stallion.
04:58Hey, easy, easy.
05:00I've got to be straight with you, Tom.
05:01I don't got a good feeling about this.
05:03Thunder and I here, we've got a bit of an understanding, don't we?
05:06It's going to be a short, smooth ride.
05:09If you say so.
05:10Here we go.
05:21There you go.
05:22Certainly short, not 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.
05:36I'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 got to serve lunch at the mess tent.
05:47Okay, Mama.
05:49So, what's the secret to breaking a horse, anyway?
05:53It's just finding common ground.
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.
06:44You ready?
06:45Yeah.
06:46I got it.
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, Bingo.
07:08What's going on?
07:09Sea alfalfa.
07:10It's flooded.
07:20Shoots are drowning.
07:22He'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
07:45or all this work will have been for nothing.
07:47You got it.
07:49Save the 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.
08:08Mrs. Clark, brought to you a 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.
09:00And...
09:01And then after...
09:03It's, uh...
09:05It's hard to be on your own.
09:11You gotta look out for each other.
09:21Archie Doyle...
09:23And Tom Moore...
09:27This is going to 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 going to 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.
10:43They weren't meant to hide.
10:44Now, I was 15 years old.
10:44It was a large carter, but I didn't collect it.
10:45If you could do this, those guys have muptYå¾—ers.
10:46Right?
10:50Keep up, job.
10:53Keep an eye on them.
10:58Get away now, man.
11:01You think you were the same?
11:18Sandbags doing anything?
11:20Yeah, helping stem the flow away from the field.
11:22Water keeps coming, though.
11:25Doyle'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.
11:32You want some backup?
11:33No.
11:35I'm going to handle this one on my own.
11:38Let's work, boys.
11:41Right.
11:42I think this is everything.
11:44Coffee, beans, porridge, bacon.
11:48Oh, good morning.
11:49Come on in.
11:50I've made you a plate.
11:52Much appreciated.
11:53Hi.
11:54Taking up and you're offering a big bread in your oven.
11:55Oh, fantastic.
11:56Constable looks like we'll have fresh bread in a few hours.
11:59Fresh bread?
12:00It doesn'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.
12:38Pat can go over there by the door.
12:40Oh, thank you.
12:42Oh, gosh.
12:45Here's a little bit of dining table.
12:47Just a little bit of that, right?
12:48Just a little bit of that.
12:50Whoa, are you all right?
12:53Well, maybe you should have a seat in one of your brand new chairs.
12:57That's all right.
12:57I 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.
13:03When was the last time you ate?
13:05I'm all right.
13:05Don't worry about me.
13:26What's up?
13:28Finally.
13:32Warren.
13:33Hello.
13:34Have you seen 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 helped you.
13:49Well, it was.
13:50Yeah, Rebecca.
13:54Rebecca.
13:57Whoa.
13:57Whoa, whoa.
13:58What 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.
14:25I had to see you.
14:26Yeah, I got you.
14:27There you go.
14:28Take it slow.
14:30Mama.
14:32Oh, sweetheart.
14:33I'm all right.
14:33Yeah.
14:34Been overdoing it is all.
14:36Yeah.
14:37Thank you, everyone.
14:39Oh, we've got to get to the mess tent.
14:40Oh, I don't think that's such a good idea.
14:43And now 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.
15:04Boys, that's a good shirt.
15:05I'd best get to my breath.
15:16Constable.
15:16I was actually coming here to talk to you.
15:18Before you say anything, I 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 damned 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.
15:48I'll hold an emergency hearing tomorrow to resolve it.
15:53Good.
16:02Here 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 he never got better.
16:29That must have been really hurt 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 get me a piggyback ride when I got tired.
16:52That's a beautiful memory, Sarah.
16:54I think about him all the time.
16:56But talking about him makes mama sad.
17:09Ginger tea?
17:11Just like you asked for.
17:12Oh, thank you.
17:13This will help with the dizziness.
17:18You really need to take better care of yourself.
17:20I 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 help for so long.
17:42Maybe I just need some fresh air.
17:46You 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.
18:05Uh, I thought it'd be more.
18:08Sorry, Lars.
18:09It's what it's worth.
18:21Constable.
18:22Tom 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 is 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.
18:47I'll see you tomorrow at the boarding house.
18:5110 a.m.
18:54I'll be there.
19:01Rachel.
19:03You finished early today.
19:06Yeah, I, uh, made a fart and got 10 greenbacks for it.
19:10Lars, that's two weeks' rent at the boarding house.
19:15What's wrong?
19:21I need to tell you something, Rachel.
19:24What is it?
19:27We 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.
19:58I let you down.
20:02All these promises of striking a ridge.
20:07And maybe 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.
20:28Now when you look at me,
20:31you always see a failure.
20:33When I look at you,
20:35I see a wonderful husband.
20:37And father.
20:40You're a kind,
20:42hard-working man.
20:45You may have been looking for Pater in that stream.
20:49I hit Pater the day I married you.
20:54I feel same about you.
20:57We're gonna 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.
21:24Heart attack.
21:25Jim died of pleurisy a week after his last birthday.
21:33Such a long illness.
21:35And his care and Sarah's well-being naturally
21:38became the most important thing.
21:40It took up all the time.
21:41And then...
21:43And then afterward,
21:44it just became about keeping Sarah safe.
21:47How long after Jim died
21:48did you start planning this trip to the Northwest?
21:53Weeks.
21:56Rebecca, see...
21:56You never had time to grieve.
22:03I heard Sarah talking to Olivia earlier.
22:06I think she'd really love to talk to you about her father,
22:09but she's worried about upsetting you.
22:17Uh-oh.
22:18I didn't mean to make her feel that way.
22:20No.
22:22No.
22:22I...
22:23After Frank died,
22:24I tried to be strong for Olivia.
22:27I had to show her and everyone else
22:28that I could just carry on
22:29so nothing had happened.
22:31But...
22:32Grief has a way of catching 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 just made me smile.
22:49I used to sit on that rock and say,
22:51Oh, honey, have faith.
22:53I'm going to catch a big one.
22:54And then tell Olivia
22:56that there were mermaids in the lake and...
23:00Treasure in the river.
23:01Well, he wasn't wrong about that.
23:03You're right.
23:05You're right.
23:08But...
23:08Yeah.
23:09Help me get through my grief.
23:11And appreciate the time we actually had together.
23:17Oh, I envy you that.
23:19Oh, you don't got to envy me.
23:22You just got to take some time to feel your feelings.
23:26Give yourself some grace.
23:31Yeah, I guess I can
23:33mend up a boarding house
23:35till it sparkles.
23:36Not alone won't mend my broken heart.
23:40Come on.
23:42Blah.
23:43Thanks, honey.
23:45Of course.
23:54Are you sure you're feeling all right?
23:57Yes.
23:58Oh, sweetie, I just...
24:00Sometimes I think I have to do everything 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 Papa left us,
24:16it must have worried you even more.
24:21You know, tomorrow's his birthday.
24:25I know.
24:28I thought you forgot.
24:30You thought I forgot.
24:31I will never...
24:32I will never forget.
24:34He's always going to be a part of our lives.
24:40I just wish I could talk to him...
24:43one more time.
24:45May I tell you what he told me a thousand times?
24:47That being your Papa changed his life.
24:50He said that?
24:52He did.
24:53And a thousand other wonderful things.
24:56What did he tell you before he left us?
25:00He said that he loves me.
25:02And that I'm kind and smart
25:05and I'm trustworthy
25:06and that he was grateful for the time that he had with us.
25:08That's right.
25:13I think it's okay for us to be sad that he's gone, Sarah.
25:17And we can be happy for the time that we had with him.
25:21Yeah.
25:25Oh, I want to show you something.
25:35I was waiting for the right time
25:37to show you what he wrote to you
25:38in the back of this portrait.
25:41Do, Sarah.
25:42You will always be the source of my greatest pride.
25:45Love, Papa.
25:47You remember this day
25:48that we posed for the photograph?
25:50Yeah, Papa kept making me laugh.
25:52He did.
25:53He loved making you laugh.
25:56What are some of your other favorite memories of him?
26:00Picking apples in the fall.
26:02Loved that.
26:04We would go to the countryside
26:05and get bushels full.
26:07We ate apple everything.
26:09He loved it.
26:10Apple cake, apple strudel.
26:12Apple pies.
26:12Apple pies.
26:13Who knew pie making was going to come in so handy?
26:20I'd really like to leave this photo out.
26:22It's all right with you.
26:23Yeah.
26:24Someplace we can see it every day.
26:27Yeah.
26:38Would you help me with this, Sarah?
26:40Yeah.
26:42Yeah.
27:02Oh.
27:03Hello.
27:04Hi.
27:06What do you have there?
27:07Just some supplies for Rebecca.
27:08Yeah.
27:10Burning the midnight oil?
27:12I'm preparing for a hearing tomorrow.
27:14Oh.
27:15I have to make a decision about a land dispute.
27:18Police officer and a magistrate all rolled into one.
27:22Impressive.
27:24It's more out of necessity than anything else.
27:27The fact is, just 300 of us Mounties
27:29have been sent out here
27:30to cover almost two and a half million square miles.
27:34Not a lot of magistrates running around,
27:36so they gave us that responsibility as well.
27:39Have you ever had to make a decision like this?
27:43I just hope I'm up to the task.
27:47Tom Moore and Archie Doyle
27:48both got strong opinions on how this should go.
27:51Well, just remember,
27:55you're the one wearing the uniform.
28:09Oh, Laura, it's Rachel.
28:11What do you got there?
28:12Well, um,
28:13we were hoping that you might be able to buy
28:15some of this panning equipment off of us.
28:17We made a decision.
28:18We're, um,
28:20we're packing up and we're moving on.
28:22Oh, no.
28:23You're giving up prospecting?
28:25The truth is, I was never good at it,
28:26and my family needs a proper roof over their heads.
28:30Well, where will you go?
28:32Uh, we thought we'd try Union City.
28:33Well, maybe I could, uh,
28:35work at the candle factory there.
28:36No, no, tell you what,
28:37how about I extend you some credit
28:38and you just stay on a little while longer?
28:40And, Rachel, I could easily sell you
28:43a delicious sourdough.
28:45We sure do appreciate the offer,
28:47but it's simply not going to be enough
28:50for our future.
28:51Well, we'll give you a good price
28:53for the equipment.
28:54Yeah.
28:55But we're just really going to miss you.
28:58We'll miss you, too.
29:01Can I let you in on a secret?
29:05You've been our favorite prospectors.
29:16Oh, Christ.
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, you two.
29:39Let's begin.
29:40Okay.
29:46Consul, what's everyone else doing here?
29:48We all wanted to know
29:49if we were going to lose our land
29:50to these Johnny-come-latelys.
29:52Oh.
29:52Well, take a seat.
29:54Hi.
29:55Hello.
29:56You feeling better?
29:57Much.
30:01Oh, I suppose this concerns
30:02all of you as well?
30:03Well, you got that right.
30:10You ranchers aren'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.
30:24Let's get started.
30:33I was like...
30:35Hey, you can do it right now.
30:38It's my...
30:40This is a free country.
30:42We ought to be able to prospect
30:43where we want.
30:44Hey, easy 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, ma'am.
30:57Sorry.
30:59Tom Moore and Archie Doyle.
31:01Matter at hand concerns
31:02the two of you.
31:02So, I 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
31:20in these parts.
31:22But now that there is,
31:24I filed my application.
31:27I poured my soul
31:28into this ranch.
31:29It's taken my blood,
31:30sweat, and tears.
31:33And the fine folks
31:35who live and work here
31:36are counting on me
31:36to continue doing so.
31:39There should be no question
31:40who it belongs to.
31:44That's all I gotta say.
31:47Okay.
31:50You 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
32:01he sees as his own.
32:03Well, it don't work that way.
32:06My daughter here,
32:07she's smart as a whip.
32:08She read a newspaper article
32:10about this law.
32:13Go on.
32:19Said that to get
32:20a land patent,
32:20you gotta 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.
32:44Well.
32:50I need a few minutes.
32:52Collect my thoughts.
32:54For why?
32:55It's the law.
32:56It's the law.
32:57What you gotta damn
32:57is not ramshed up.
32:59What you gotta collect?
33:00You gotta collect
33:00the spot, bro.
33:07If things get out of hand
33:08while I'm gone,
33:09neither of you
33:10will get the property.
33:19Can he do that?
33:20He should be able to.
33:22I don't think he can,
33:23I don't think he can do that.
33:24I don't think he can do that either.
33:38Here we go, here 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...
33:55You have got to be kidding me.
33:58However,
34:02I remember the words
34:03of my commissioner
34:05who said,
34:07in a world of right
34:09and wrong,
34:10uphold what is right.
34:15Tom Moore's been working
34:16this land for years,
34:17long before the prospectors
34:19arrived.
34:21This new law
34:22was targeted
34:22at the vast territory
34:24that remains wild,
34:25unclaimed,
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. Bill.
34:34There you go.
34:35Eureka!
34:36There we go.
34:37So you're saying
34:38I can't prospect
34:40on the creek
34:42even though
34:43I followed the rules.
34:44Not on the property
34:45that I've ruled
34:45belongs to Tom Moore.
34:46and you can't do anything
34:47to the waterways
34:48that would damage
34:49his land either.
34:50There you go.
34:50Get your dam
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
35:04to get to him.
35:05There's a thing
35:06called an easement.
35:07It allows people
35:08to cross another
35:08person's property.
35:10Under the circumstances
35:11I'm going to rule
35:12that you also have
35:13an 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 will take you
35:28a week to reach him
35:29but be my guest.
35:31Now, I think
35:32Mrs. Clark
35:32would very much
35:33appreciate having
35:34her dining room back.
35:39Dismissed.
35:53Well, how do you feel?
35:55I can't say I'm happy
35:56about the fact that
35:57Doyle gets to cross my land
35:59but it could 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 you've 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 work
36:35for you.
36:36We'll never forget you.
36:41Wait.
36:42Uh.
36:45I have a business
36:46proposition for 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
36:55to 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
36:59at panning for gold.
37:02That sounds
37:03difficult to be true.
37:05What do you say?
37:06Yes.
37:07Absolutely.
37:08Yes.
37:09Wonderful.
37:10I got a thing.
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?
37:24You 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.
37:34Just 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.
38:07That should be deep enough.
38:11Take a good one.
38:15Is this for you, Papa?
38:17Happy birthday.
38:21Well,
38:22that apple seed
38:23will grow into a tree.
38:25Now,
38:26every time we look
38:27out our window
38:27and see it,
38:28we'll think of Papa's
38:29sweetness
38:29forgiveness
38:30and his hope
38:31for our future.
