00:01Previously on Hope Valley, 1874.
00:04No, no, no. It's not the end of the world.
00:06I love it isn't. I would hate to see what it is.
00:09I need lumber for repairs.
00:10I don't have any to spare, because I'm planting alfalfa,
00:13and I have to build a fence to keep the cattle out.
00:15Isn't that lovely?
00:16Clayton made it. Isn't he talented?
00:18I'll say.
00:20I wanted to order some lumber from Mr. Williams.
00:23It's more than I expected.
00:30Don't forget to breathe.
00:35That's not so bad.
00:37What's that one made from?
00:39Calendula.
00:40Here, smell it.
00:42That nice and soothing. It's gonna help you heal faster.
00:45You know it is marigold.
00:46Why don't you just call it that?
00:48Because we should know the proper names for things.
00:51Like Grandma taught you?
00:52That's right.
00:55I wish I'd gotten to meet her.
00:58Me too.
00:59She would have adored you, Sarah.
01:02Alright, next time you decide to see how fast you can jump rope,
01:05you will...
01:06Tuck in my skirt.
01:07Tuck in your skirt. Thank you.
01:09I will.
01:11I learned a new jump rope zone from Jenny.
01:13Wanna come hear it?
01:14I would love to, but...
01:15I still have a lot to do here.
01:17I'll wait for you.
01:19No, you better go play.
01:20There's still so many planks on the upstairs floor that need replacing.
01:23Do they?
01:27Found another spot!
01:29Lars, are you alright?
01:31No, I'm fine, I'm fine.
01:32But, you know, I can't say the same for your floor, Mrs. Clark.
01:35I can patch it up, but he'll take the last of the boards we got from the camp.
01:38Oh, no, but there's still so many that need to be repaired.
01:41How will he pay for it all?
01:42You don't need to worry about that. Go play. I will figure something out.
01:49Do not sell the ring.
01:52Okay?
01:55I won't.
01:56So I'll have some affirmation.
02:11In the Roman simpatrius.
02:11It doesn't.
02:11Gee, you believe in Christ.
02:11Is there hope in the valley?
02:14I...
02:15I want to see it come alive.
02:18I want to see you come alive.
02:20There's a storm in the coming skies.
02:24I want to be here when it dies.
02:28I want to see hope come alive.
02:31I want to see you come alive.
02:41Oh.
02:42Oh, that's an ounce and a half.
02:44Good for you, Pete.
02:45Ha, about time I had a good day.
02:48All right.
02:51One to seven.
02:52There you go.
02:52Don't spend it all in one place unless it's right here.
02:59Ah, more pies.
03:00Good.
03:01I just ran out.
03:02Don't you cook nothing but pies?
03:04I pay good money for something to stick to my ribs.
03:06We got beef jerky on the shelf.
03:08Hurts my teeth.
03:10When was the last time you had a vegetable or something green?
03:14Moldy cheese count.
03:18Hey, that's for the last batch.
03:23At this rate, I won't be buying lumber for quite some time.
03:25Oh, that's going to take a lot more pies.
03:27Especially if I want to decorate with Olivia's beautiful designs.
03:34Maybe you want to reconsider a gold panning.
03:36I was only half joking about that.
03:38Things have changed.
03:39What's changed?
03:40Some prospectors hit pay dirt at a stream nearby, so now the whole camp has moved over there.
03:44More gold means more borders.
03:47I've got to get this place open.
03:48You will.
03:50You will.
03:54Come on.
03:55Come on.
03:57Come on.
04:02Get through there.
04:03Get, get.
04:04Come on.
04:07Hey, I just came from the east pasture.
04:09The ranch hands aren't there.
04:10They're supposed to be putting up a fence.
04:12Maybe they're still loading rails.
04:13Well, they better get a move on, because I can't plant that alfalfa until they build the fence,
04:17and without that, I'm not going to have any feed for the cattle.
04:19I worked on a ranch in Montana.
04:21Lost half their cattle to a lack of feed.
04:23Well, I'm not going to let that happen here.
04:25I've got to get these strays back to the herd.
04:27All right.
04:28We'll go find those ranch hands.
04:29All right.
04:30Come on.
04:37Good morning.
04:38Good morning.
04:40You heading to that lesson?
04:42Yes.
04:43Peggy is a fast learner.
04:44Pretty soon she'll be able to open up a book and do more than look at the pictures.
04:48The pictures are the best part.
04:52How's your alfalfa farm coming along?
04:54And your fences?
04:56That's coming.
04:58How about your boarding house?
05:00Also coming along.
05:02Well, I hear the prospectors have caught gold fever, and they're moving to a different stream.
05:06That must make you happy.
05:08Whatever it takes to get them off my land.
05:12You just made my day a little brighter.
05:18Wow.
05:20These are real nice.
05:21Rebecca tells me what she has in mind, and I try to capture it for her.
05:26I'm impressed.
05:27Well, that's sweet of you, Clayton.
05:29Oh, you're here.
05:31Again.
05:32Yes, ma'am.
05:33I was running low on powdered limestone for my forge, so...
05:37Oh.
05:39You might want to think about reorganizing your orders so we don't have to make so many trips
05:43out here.
05:43Yeah.
05:44I don't mind.
05:47Okay, bring your wagon out back.
05:49I'll help you shovel everything in.
05:51Yes, ma'am.
05:54Bye, Clayton.
06:05Back from your round so soon.
06:07Seems about a week is what it takes when things are so quiet.
06:12Can I have a word with you?
06:13Sure.
06:14About what?
06:15I saw that deer that you carved.
06:18Seems you've got some artistic ability.
06:21I can do pretty much anything with water metal.
06:23What about pen and paper?
06:30Good morning, Miss Quinn.
06:31Good morning, Mount Yvonne.
06:33Please, call me Alexander.
06:36Only if you call me Olivia.
06:38Deal.
06:40Clayton tells me that you are skilled at drawing.
06:43Well, I don't know if I'd call myself skilled, but I do enjoy it.
06:48I imagine you'd enjoy it more if you were paid for such endeavors.
06:51Excuse me?
06:52The government are going to publish sketches of the frontier.
06:55What on earth for?
06:57To entice settlers to move west.
06:59They're looking for drawings that capture the promise and romance of what's out here.
07:07Are you interested?
07:11I think I could be.
07:18Ah, dot, hot, not, but pot.
07:29Rebecca, I'm sorry.
07:32Is there something on your mind?
07:33Yes, how do you cook for all these cowboys?
07:36They have their own cook.
07:38Oh.
07:38They can't leave their cattle, so they make their own meals.
07:42So it must be the same for the prospectors.
07:44They can't leave the stream, but they need a hearty, nutritious meal.
07:48When was the last time any of them were acquainted with a vegetable?
07:53What are you thinking?
07:55Well, I'm going to have to start feeding them at the boarding house soon anyway.
07:58Why wait?
08:07Sarah?
08:08I have an idea about something.
08:10I'm going to go, but you stay here and play with Jenny.
08:12No, I'll come with you.
08:13No, it's all right.
08:14You two are having fun.
08:15I'll come back for you later.
08:16Bye, sweetheart.
08:19I wouldn't call this fun.
08:20It's just a chore.
08:23I used to help Mama a lot.
08:25On the trail, we had to do all sorts of things we never did before.
08:28What was it like where you're from?
08:30There was a lot more people.
08:32Sometimes we'd ride a trolley or go to the park.
08:35My favorite day was Sunday because I'd help Mama make pancakes and we'd use the good china.
08:41Don't you have chores now?
08:43Yeah, but it's not just the two of us now.
08:49Alexander said they'll pay me 50 cents for every drawing they choose.
08:53I'm being paid to draw.
08:54Wouldn't that be something?
08:56Next thing you'll be off hobnobbing in Paris.
09:00Can you imagine?
09:01I mean, not necessarily Paris, but I think of all the places this could take me.
09:11Hi, Eddie.
09:12Olivia.
09:12Do you have a canvas covering that I could purchase?
09:17How big?
09:18As big as you've got.
09:23Let's go.
09:23How long does it take to load a wagon?
09:25Wartortop.
09:27Jeremiah.
09:30Where's John on the rest of the hands?
09:33They haven't shown up yet.
09:36Why not?
09:38I'll tell you, but you're not going to like it.
09:46Have you seen my new sketch pad?
09:48Under the scale.
09:50Oh.
10:01Is everything okay?
10:04Just been looking at the ledger.
10:09When was the last time you saw Phoebe Taylor?
10:12It's been a while, but that's Phoebe for you.
10:15Yeah, but all the years I've known her, she'd at least come by for a cup of tea now and
10:18then.
10:19Now, this is unusual.
10:21Even for her.
10:22Well, how much does she owe us?
10:25For three dollars?
10:27I should go pay her a visit.
10:29For three dollars?
10:31Since her son left for the East, she's all alone out there.
10:34She seems to be getting on just fine.
10:36No, something could happen to her and nobody would even know.
10:39I just, I don't want her to be forgotten.
11:11No, something could happen to her.
11:11But fellas, what do you all think you're doing?
11:20Have you heard, boss?
11:22Folks have been finding gold in this new stream.
11:25Figured we'd give it a shot before it's all gone.
11:27What about your jobs at the ranch?
11:29We got down here at the crack of dawn.
11:32Thought we'd pay him for a few hours.
11:35Oh.
11:37I guess we lost track of time.
11:39Well, you're going to lose a lot more than that
11:41if you don't get back to the ranch.
11:42We've got a fence to build.
11:43Let's go.
11:45Cowboy's panning for gold.
11:49Pure foolishness.
12:01Rekka.
12:03Mr. Moore.
12:04Hi.
12:05Hello.
12:06Surprised to see you here.
12:08Well, I just came to talk some sense into my ranch hands.
12:11They've got gold fever.
12:13Ah, that must not sit well.
12:16So that leaves you shorthanded on the ranch.
12:19They'll be back.
12:20Eureka!
12:22Someone else has got luck.
12:23Oh, ho, ho, ho!
12:25Oh, ho, ho, ho!
12:33Okay.
12:34So what are you doing here?
12:36I'm looking for a site.
12:38Oh, not you two.
12:40No, I'm no prospector, but I am going to feed them.
12:42I'm opening a mess tent.
12:44There's going to be hot food?
12:46When?
12:47Starting tomorrow.
12:49Oh, great.
12:53You hear that?
12:54She's going to feed them.
13:12Good afternoon, Phoebe.
13:17Hattie.
13:18What brings you out here?
13:20I was in the area.
13:21I just thought I'd pay my respects.
13:24Well, you came to collect the money I owe you.
13:28There's that, too.
13:31I, uh, oh, see you've been keeping busy.
13:35Is that the canvas I sold you a while back?
13:38What, you treat that with beast wax?
13:41Keeps the rain off.
13:46Olivia and I were just talking about your Daniel.
13:50You must miss him.
13:55Bird's got to leave the nest sometime.
13:57No point shedding tears over it.
14:02You don't fool me, Phoebe Taylor.
14:05Your son was the apple of your eye.
14:09I'll be by the trading post in the next week or so.
14:11They'll get you $3 then.
14:13I'll be counting the days.
14:15Look, I'm just curious why you haven't come by recently.
14:17Just no call to.
14:19Is it the prospectors?
14:20You haven't come by much since they started showing up.
14:22They're just people.
14:24Exactly.
14:26Of course, people can be annoying.
14:29Present company excluded, I presume.
14:32Now, bees, on the other hand, they mind their own business.
14:36They're hard workers.
14:37They got no time for idle chit-chat.
14:39Me and them, we share that particular quality.
14:42Have it your way.
14:44I will leave you to your beeswax.
14:47Much appreciated.
15:13You lost your way, Olivia?
15:15I'm looking for the perfect picture of promise and romance on the frontier.
15:19Right.
15:20Okay, well, best face the other direction.
15:23Nothing romantic about me washing our inventionables.
15:27What do you have in mind?
15:29I don't know.
15:30I can't just draw any old thing.
15:32It's for the government.
15:33It has to be something grand and romantic that'll lure people west.
15:37I hope you find what you're looking for.
15:49I just came from the bunkhouse.
15:53The cowboys didn't come back.
15:56Sorry, Tom.
15:58I don't know what they're thinking.
16:00They're not.
16:03We need 400 of these posts,
16:04which means we've got to dig 400 more holes to put them in.
16:09I'm well aware.
16:11That's too many with too few men.
16:12We won't finish in time for planting season.
16:14It'll be the first time we've been in a tough spot.
16:16This time it's different.
16:18We've got a bigger herd.
16:20There's more to lose.
16:23We need more hands.
16:24Just let me put the word out.
16:27I'm not giving up on my men.
16:29They gave up on you, Tom.
16:42Why didn't you tell me about the mess tent yesterday?
16:45You were playing with Jenny.
16:47I didn't want to interrupt you.
16:50I reckon you can use a few extra hands.
16:55Yes, please.
16:57Yeah, it goes like this here.
17:04Yeah, this tent used to be the old trading post.
17:07Brings back memories.
17:09Like our first winter here.
17:11Darn near froze our tails off.
17:14Poor Olivia just had me and Frank for company.
17:25Sarah, we're going to be here a while.
17:26Why don't you see if that girl wants to make friends?
17:28But I want to help.
17:29I don't...
17:30That's Vivian.
17:31Yeah, she's real mature for her age.
17:33Just like you.
17:34Go on, sweetie.
17:34We'll be right here.
17:37Go on.
17:38Okay.
17:57Maybe we should bring some of our cowboys back from the south pasture.
18:02We'll risk losing too much of our herd.
18:05What's the point of growing alfalfa?
18:06We don't got cattle to feed.
18:09What's the point of you digging yourself into an early grave?
18:13Let me take over for you, boss.
18:15Just keep them coming, Jeremiah.
18:17I'm fine.
18:21Tom, we need more men.
18:24Oh, God.
18:43What are you making?
18:46It's for fishing.
18:48Gotta catch supper for my pa and me.
18:51You should have supper at our mess tent.
18:52You can't beat my mama's cooking.
18:54Is that what that's supposed to be?
18:56Some kind of restaurant?
18:59We're selling meals to the prospectors.
19:03Well, Paul and me are having trout.
19:10What are you planning on making tonight?
19:13Oh, I never had any complaints about my gumbo.
19:16Lots of herbs and aromatics.
19:19They won't even know it's good for them.
19:21It sounds big city.
19:23Yeah, it's New Orleans, actually.
19:25There you go.
19:26I would just stick with what they know.
19:29I mean, salt pork, beans.
19:30Come on, everybody likes to try something new, don't they?
19:33Yeah, sure they do.
19:34As long as it's exactly the same.
19:36Okay.
19:43Sarah's been gone a while.
19:45I wonder if she's getting on with that girl.
19:48Seems like Sarah can make friends with just about anyone.
19:51Yeah, she's had to learn.
19:53I feel guilty.
19:54I feel like she's been losing part of her childhood.
19:58I used to think the same thing about Olivia.
20:00Wait, she turned out just fine.
20:02She did.
20:03Yes, she's so impressive.
20:05And her illustration skills, the fact that she's self-taught, it's wonderful.
20:10Yeah.
20:12What?
20:14I'm a terrible person.
20:16Yes.
20:18Horrendous.
20:19Part of me wishes she wasn't doing these sketches.
20:23What if she sells them?
20:24What if she finds a life for herself and make an art somewhere far from here?
20:31What if she leaves me?
20:33No?
20:34No, I'm just, I'm being selfish.
20:36No, you're being a mother.
20:39It's scary.
20:40I've thought of that too.
20:44Oh, Sarah.
20:45Hi.
20:45Oh, how'd you get home with Vivian?
20:47She's busy and she needed to help her pa.
21:16Morning.
21:18Morning.
21:19Morning.
21:23I, uh, know I've got you to thank for Alexander coming to me about the sketches.
21:27As far as I can tell, no one can sketch better than you.
21:30Clayton Cooley, I am an amateur at best, and you know it.
21:33You are too modest.
21:35Let me see what you've drawn so far.
21:38Sorry, and no disrespect.
21:44Very well.
21:52So much for your opinion of me.
21:54My opinion of me hasn't changed, but it seems you're having a little trouble getting started.
22:00Well, it's one thing when I'm just doing it for fun.
22:03It's another when I know that people are going to judge me.
22:08Clayton, what if I'm not good enough?
22:10Of course you are.
22:12They're looking to others to find the beauty in this place, and who better than you?
22:16Who's so talented?
22:20Just saying that to be kind.
22:22I most certainly am not.
22:24I mean, take that deer you drew the other day.
22:27The curves of the antlers are more impressive than the real thing.
22:31You really think so?
22:33No question.
22:35It's the way you look at things.
22:36You make everything more beautiful.
22:39Well, I don't, I don't know about that.
22:42It's true.
22:43You really reach in and find the spirit of this place.
23:13Can we go fishing sometime?
23:15Sure.
23:16We can cook the fish for the prospectors.
23:18Oh, I can't forget my secret ingredient.
23:25Is that garlic?
23:27Yes, it is.
23:29Hello.
23:30I brought it from back east.
23:32I sure hope everyone likes it.
23:34Yeah, I mean, Lars and I love it, but, you know, we'll use our parents' European cooking.
23:42Oh, I'm going to need more salt.
23:44How do you have some?
23:44I can stay and, um, watch things.
23:47Can you?
23:48All right.
23:49But...
23:49No, sweetheart, stay here.
23:50It'll be faster if I go by myself.
23:52I'll be right back.
24:00Thanks, Hattie.
24:01Oh, excuse me.
24:03Sorry.
24:03You're in a hurry.
24:04About to serve my first meal.
24:06You're welcome to come by.
24:07Well, I wish I could, but I ain't got time now that my ranch hands have become prospectors.
24:11Which is why I'm here.
24:12Post a note for some more hands.
24:15I'm sorry.
24:16I know it's hard when people you trust let you down.
24:20Speaking from personal experience?
24:32Maybe you should talk with them again.
24:34There's no point.
24:35I've already given them a piece of my mind.
24:37And don't you ever wonder what's on their mind?
24:39See things from their perspective?
24:47Gotta go.
24:48If they don't like my cooking tonight, they'll never buy it at the boarding house.
24:56What do you think?
25:11How's she doing?
25:13She's been keeping to herself.
25:15Oh.
25:17Thanks for staying.
25:18Thanks for staying.
25:25Hey, little chickadee.
25:28What's wrong?
25:34You keep trying to leave me behind.
25:37I just went to the trading post.
25:38And yesterday.
25:40At the ranch?
25:40I thought you'd want to stay behind and play with Jenny.
25:42And then today with that girl.
25:44Sarah, what is this about?
25:46You don't want me around.
25:47What?
25:51Sweetheart, this is all for you.
25:56All of this.
25:59Sarah.
26:09I'm going to give you some time.
26:12I'm getting water.
26:15I'm getting water.
26:45Good afternoon, Olivia.
26:46Good afternoon, Alexander.
26:49So, how's the sketching coming along?
26:53I'm glad you asked.
26:55If the government wants to lure people west,
26:58what better way than to show them our new police force?
27:01Me? Mm-hmm.
27:02Ooh, nobody wants to see my mug on a poster.
27:07I would.
27:17You keep moving.
27:18It's my horse.
27:20Maybe he doesn't think this is his good side.
27:24So, what did you do before joining the Mounted Police?
27:26I was a tracker for Great Plains Trading Company.
27:29Oh, my late father worked for Great Plains at the Trading Post in Fort Churchill
27:31before starting his own spot here.
27:34How was it when you first got to the settlement?
27:37Well, it wasn't easy.
27:40We lived in a sod hut, fished in icy waters,
27:43tried to keep it warm during the long winters.
27:45nothing as exciting as you living in Toronto.
27:47No, that's remarkable.
27:50If you don't mind me saying,
27:51you don't look like the type of person who lived in a sod hut.
27:56You look...
27:59I look... what?
28:03Nothing. Forget I said it.
28:06It sounds like you've had quite the adventure.
28:08Well, for us, it was more about survival than adventure.
28:12Well, there's no greater adventure than survival on the frontier.
28:21Speaking of survival on the frontier, that woman over there...
28:26Oh, Rebecca?
28:28She's one of a kind, all right.
28:30She certainly stands out.
28:32Do you know where she's from?
28:38Actually, I don't.
28:56Sarah, can you stand up?
28:57There's something I want to say to you, please.
29:00Please.
29:00Please.
29:05You mean everything to me.
29:08Everything.
29:10And I'm so sorry if I did anything to make you feel otherwise.
29:16Please talk to me.
29:19I miss traveling in the wagon with you.
29:22Even though it was so hard?
29:23It was just the two of us, and I liked it that way.
29:27I liked it, too.
29:30You don't need me anymore.
29:34You have Lars and Mrs. Quinn to help you.
29:37Sarah, it's good for you to play and have fun.
29:42I thought you'd want to.
29:44Not stick around doing a bunch of grown-up things.
29:47I like doing grown-up things if it's with you.
29:49Well, good.
29:50I like being with you, too.
29:53I do, I do, I do.
29:56I need your help with something now, actually.
29:59With what?
30:00I have to make a sign for my gumbo.
30:02And you have the best handwriting.
30:05Will you help me?
30:07Fine.
30:08All right.
30:12You're stuck with me now, kid.
30:20Great work today, Jeremiah.
30:23I'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning.
30:27Hey, boss, I...
30:28I recently got engaged.
30:31No kidding.
30:33Congratulations.
30:37What's her name?
30:38Madeline.
30:39She lives in Union City.
30:41She's pretty special.
30:43Not quite sure what she sees in me.
30:46Best just to appreciate your good fortune and not question it.
30:49Yeah, I just wanted to give her the best.
30:51I know she deserves it.
30:53As you should.
30:55You've always been good to me, so...
30:57I want to be up front with you.
30:59I promised I'd build her a nice house.
31:01With a big porch and a yard for all our little ones.
31:05What's understandable?
31:08I've heard some prospectors of pulling nuggets out of the stream
31:11that are worth more than a month's wages.
31:12Others are just pulling out pocket change.
31:14I know.
31:15But for Madeline, I mean...
31:18I just want a chance to make a life like you did.
31:21I think we all do.
31:32I wish you and the missus great success.
31:36God knows it isn't easy.

39:11Oh, good morning, sleepyhead.
39:13I'm surprised you slept through that storm last night.
39:16Well, come help me with these pancakes.
39:19Okay.
39:23It's a good china.
39:24It's not Sunday.
39:26Every day with you is special.
39:28Here, flip this.
39:29Okay.
39:31After we're done making breakfast, we'll go over the Demest tent.
39:34Are we going to give out free samples today?
39:36No, I can't afford that.
39:37What if no one comes?
39:39We have to hope I'm making something extra delicious.
39:51I've finished the sketches I'm going to submit.
39:54Do you want to see?
39:55Sure.
40:02I tried to capture the spirit of the frontier, images that show both the beauty and the hardship.
40:15You are a real artist.
40:21This next one is my favorite.
40:23Grit has it all.
40:26Strength, compassion, grit.
40:46I didn't pose for this.
40:49You didn't have to.
40:51I know your face.
40:54I can draw you from memory.
41:00Do you like it?
41:01Oh.
41:06It's nice.
41:12No one is ever going to forget you, Mama.
41:18Not while I'm around.
41:31Oh, these poor people.
41:36Here, sweetie.
41:37Go ahead.
41:39I can help you.
41:47Mama, look.
41:58Oh, no.
42:00It's completely ruined.
42:02It was a bad storm last night, but we've had worse.
42:05I guess the old girl just wasn't up to it.
42:06I'm sorry about your tent, Hattie.
42:09You can't be held responsible for Mother Nature.
42:17Well, we won't be serving food, free or otherwise, unless we have a place to eat it.
42:26I'll be back.
42:49I'll be back.
42:53I figure we'll finish putting up this fence by the end of the week.
42:58I figure you're right.
43:03Jeremiah decides to stay.
43:08I wish him the best.
43:10I want the best for the lot of you.
43:12We know that was.
43:15Let's get to it.
43:26Who's that lady with Phyllis Quinn?
43:37Rebecca, Sarah, meet Phoebe Taylor.
43:40Glad to know you.
43:42I hear you took on the ramshackle.
43:44Anybody who'd go that far against the grain, my kind of people.
43:48What about me?
43:49I've always said you're a sensible businesswoman.
43:51Just don't go soft on me.
43:53Oh, never.
43:53No, it's bad for business.
43:56Phoebe's got wax canvas we can use to patch the tent, at least until we can repair it proper.
44:01Oh, I don't know how to thank you.
44:04Thank me?
44:05Hattie said I'd be getting free meals.
44:07Absolutely anytime.
44:09Oh, who knows?
44:09You might even enjoy the company.
44:12Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
44:14Well, it looks like we're back in business.
44:18Oh, my God.
44:34Remarkable.
45:29You
