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. Uh, 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.
01:48Rebecca, 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.
01:56Oh, 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.
02:02Mama, 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.
02:18Alright, um, 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? 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.
02:46As soon as I'm settled?
02:49Uh, yes, alright.
02:50Follow me, I'll show you to your room.
02:59Sir, are you alright?
03:03Yeah, but...
03:04I just didn't know the policeman would live here.
03:09Alright, 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, it was...
03:22Five dollars a week we agreed to.
03:24Oh, yes, thank you.
03:25Oh, this is, um, seven.
03:28Yes, about that.
03:29Uh, 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 two dollars 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.
04:19Alright.
04:20I'll 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.
04:54We 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.
05:16Here we go.
05:21There 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.
05:36I'm fine, thanks for asking, sir.
05:38See, Sarah, only his pride is broken.
05:42That's a good one.
05:43Can I go find Jenny?
05:44Yes.
05:44But don't forget, we've gotta 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.
06:12Hmm.
06:13A 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?
06:45Here.
06:45I 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.
07:06Hold up there, Ringo.
07:08What's going on?
07:09Sea alfalfa is 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.
07:37It's coming from the stream!
07:41I'll come with you.
07:42No, you 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 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.
08:05All right.
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 any time.
08:21I don't mind taking you off on that.
08:22All right.
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.
08:52Help me help you.
08:55You know, I remember after Sierra was born, Jim went away to war.
09:01And then after, it's, uh...
09:05It's hard to be on your own.
09:11You've got to look out for each other.
09:13We've got to look out for each other.
09:21Archie Doyle.
09:24And 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,
09:59and 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.
10:43And now,
10:44when you're hanging around,
10:44you know.
10:45I can't wait.
10:45I can't wait.
10:45I can't wait.
10:50Let's go see.
11:18Sandbags doing anything?
11:19Yeah, helping to stem the flow away from the field. Water keeps coming, though.
11:25Joel's got no right.
11:27Well, the problem is that Mountie's made him believe he does, which is why I gotta put a stop to
11:31it.
11:33Want some backup?
11:34No. I'm gonna handle this one on my own.
11:38Let's work, boys.
11:41Alright, I think this is everything. Coffee, beans, porridge, bacon.
11:47Sounds delicious.
11:47Oh, good morning. Come on in. I've made you a plate.
11:52Much appreciated.
11:53Hi.
11:54I'm taking you up and you're offered to bake bread in your oven.
11:55Oh, fantastic. Constable looks like we'll have fresh bread in a few hours.
11:59Fresh bread? 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. People 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. I 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. Okay, yes.
12:34Okay, how about we all pitch in?
12:35Hello!
12:36Hey!
12:38Pat, can you go over there?
12:40Oh, of course.
12:43Oh, gosh.
12:45Here's a little bit of dining table.
12:47Just a little plate there, right?
12:47Let's go over there.
12:50Whoa!
12:51Are you all right?
12:53Well, maybe 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. Don't worry about me.
13:25What's up?
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 stood up to you.
13:49Whoa, hey, whoa, shit.
13:50Rebecca.
13:54Rebecca.
13:57Whoa.
13:57Whoa, whoa. What happened?
13:58I don't know. She collapsed.
14:03What's wrong with Mama?
14:05She'll be okay, honey.
14:07Rebecca.
14:11Rebecca.
14:20Hey.
14:23You all right?
14:24I just stood up too fast.
14:26Got to see you.
14:26Yeah, I got you.
14:28There you go.
14:29Take it slow.
14:30Mama.
14:32Oh, sweetheart, I'm all right.
14:34Yeah.
14:34Been overdoing is all.
14:36Yeah.
14:37Thank you, everyone.
14:39Oh, we gotta get to the mess tent.
14:40Oh, I don't think that's such a good idea.
14:42Now that you've got a new bedroom, let's get you where it's quieter.
14:46Yeah.
14:46All right.
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' vest can show.
15:05Yeah.
15:05I'd best get to my breath.
15:16Constable.
15:17I was actually coming here to talk to you.
15:18Will you say anything?
15:19I know about the dual applications.
15:21Great.
15:22What are you gonna do about it?
15:23I'm gonna review the law, and I'll make a determination.
15:27No.
15:28You said that all I had to do was file a land patent.
15:31I never said that filing alone would settle the matter.
15:34No, for...
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.
15:53Good.
16:02Here you go.
16:04No, thank you.
16:12Must've 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've 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.
16:39I know.
16:46Papa 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.
16:54I 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.
17:20I 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. She's with Olivia right now.
17:36Rebecca, distractions only helped for so long.
17:42Maybe, maybe 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. Half an ounce.
18:02I can give you $10 for that.
18:05Uh, I thought it'd be Moore.
18:08Sorry, Lars, it's what it's worth.
18:21Constable, Tom Moore's still giving me trouble at the creek.
18:25He says you've damaged his crop.
18:27Oh, I have just as much right to my livelihood as the U.S. is.
18:31Your 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.
18:5110 a.m.
18:53I'll be good.
19:01Rachel.
19:03You finished early today.
19:06Yeah, I, uh, made a fine.
19:08Got 10 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?
19:27We 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 while again.
19:46It just isn't enough.
19:55I'm sorry.
19:56I'm sorry.
19:59I 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.
20:22I followed you out here.
20:24Because this was our dream.
20:28Now 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,
20:42hard-working 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 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.
21:20But...
21:20My life changed in the blink of an eye.
21:23Heart attack.
21:25Jim died of pleurisy a week after his last birthday.
21:31I...
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 and then...
21:43And then afterward,
21:44it just became about keeping Sarah safe.
21:47How long after Jim died did you start planning this trip to 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 to talk to you about her father, but...
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, I tried to be strong for Olivia.
22:27I had to show her and everyone else that I could just carry on.
22:29So nothing had happened, but...
22:32Grief has a way of catching up with you whether you like it or not.
22:36That is the truth.
22:40So I started coming out here.
22:43Be 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, I'm gonna catch a big one.
22:54And then tell Olivia that there were mermaids in the lake and...
23:00treasure in the river.
23:01Yeah.
23:02Well, he wasn't wrong about that.
23:03Oh, you're right.
23:05You're right.
23:08But...
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 gotta envy me.
23:22You just gotta take some time to feel your feelings.
23:26Give yourself some grace.
23:32Yeah, I guess I can...
23:33mend up a boarding house till it sparkles.
23:36And that alone won't mend my broken heart.
23:40Come on.
23:42Lock.
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 sorry.
24:13I'm sure you were.
24:14After the way Papa left us, it 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.
24:37Yeah.
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.
24:51He said that?
24:52He did.
24:53And a thousand other wonderful things.
24:57What did he tell you...
24:58before he left us?
25:00He said that he loves me.
25:02And that...
25:03I'm kind.
25:04I'm smart.
25:05And I'm trustworthy.
25:06And that he was...
25:07he 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.
25:24Yeah.
25:25Oh, I want to show you something.
25:35Who's waiting for the right time to show you what he wrote to you in the back of this portrait?
25:41Do you, Sarah?
25:42You will always be the source of my greatest pride.
25:45Love, Papa.
25:47You remember this day that we posed for the photograph?
25:50Yeah.
25:51Yeah.
25:51Papa kept making me laugh.
25:52He did.
25:53He loved making you laugh.
25:56What are some of your other favorite memories of him?
26:00Making apples in the fall.
26:02Loved that.
26:04We would go to the countryside and get bushels full.
26:07We ate apple everything.
26:09He loved it.
26:10Apple cake.
26:11Apple strudel.
26:11Apple pies.
26:13Apple pies.
26:13Who knew pie making was going to come in so handy?
26:20I'd really like to leave this photo out if it's alright with you.
26:23Yeah.
26:24Someplace we can see it every day.
26:27Yeah.
26:38Could you help me with this, Sarah?
26:40Yeah.
27:02Oh.
27:03Hello.
27:05Hi.
27:05What do you have there?
27:07Just some supplies for Rebecca.
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 have been sent out here to cover almost two and a half
27:32million square miles.
27:34Not a lot of magistrates running around, so they gave us that responsibility as well.
27:39Have you ever had to make a decision like this?
27:44I just hope I'm up to the task.
27:46Tom Moore and Archie Doyle both 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, we were hoping that you might be able to buy some of this panning equipment off of us.
28:17We made a decision.
28:18We're, um, we're packing up.
28:21We're moving on.
28:22Oh, no.
28:23You're giving up prospecting?
28:25Truth is, I was never good at it, and my family needs a proper roof over their heads.
28:30Well, where will you go?
28:32We thought we'd try Union City.
28:33Well, maybe I could, uh, work at the candle factory there.
28:36No, no.
28:36Tell you what.
28:37How about I extend you some credit and you just stay on a little while longer?
28:40And, Rachel, I could easily sell you a delicious sourdough.
28:45We sure do appreciate the offer, but it's simply not going to be enough for our future.
28:51Well, we'll give you a good price for the equipment.
28:54Yeah.
28:56We're just really going to miss you.
28:59We'll miss you, too.
29:02Can I let you in on a secret?
29:05You've been our favorite prospectors.
29:20Welcome.
29:24Let's begin.
29:29I've made my decision.
29:31I've made my decision.
29:33That's enough.
29:34Settle down, you two.
29:39Let's begin.
29:40Okay.
29:45Constable.
29:47What's everyone else doing here?
29:48We all wanted to know if we were going to lose our land to these Johnny-come-latelys.
29:52Oh.
29:52Well, take a seat.
29:54Hi.
29:55Hello.
29:56You feeling better?
29:57Much. Thank you.
30:01Oh, I suppose this concerns all of you as well?
30:04Well, you got that right.
30:10You ranchers aren't the only ones who got numbers.
30:13Looks that way.
30:18Jeremiah.
30:20Not you, too.
30:22Sorry, Tom.
30:23So am I.
30:25So am I.
30:25Let's get started.
30:33You're not.
30:33I'm.
30:33I'm.
30:34I'm.
30:35I'm.
30:37I'm.
30:38I'm.
30:38I'm.
30:39I'm.
30:39I'm.
30:39I'm.
30:40I'm.
30:40This is a free country.
30:42We oughta be able to prospect what we want.
30:44Hey, easy on the table.
30:46While you're in my establishment,
30:48you will treat the furniture and each other with respect,
30:50or I'll send you outside.
30:53Yes, ma'am.
30:58Sorry.
30:59Tom Moore and Archie Doyle.
31:01The matter at hand concerns the two of you.
31:03So, I will allow each of you to make a statement,
31:05and then I will make my decision as to who gets the property.
31:10Mr. Moore, first you.
31:16Look,
31:17I haven't worked in this land over three and a half years
31:19before there was any law on these parts.
31:23But now that there is,
31:24I filed my application.
31:27I poured my soul into this ranch.
31:29It's taken my blood, sweat, and tears.
31:34And the fine folks who live and work here
31:36are counting on me to continue doing so.
31:39There should be no question who it belongs to.
31:44That's all I gotta say.
31:50You should stand, Paul.
31:53I stand for no man.
31:57This rancher thinks he can plant a flag in the ground
32:01and claim everything he sees as his own.
32:03Well, it don't work that way.
32:06My daughter here, she's smart as a whip.
32:09She read a newspaper article about this law.
32:13Come on.
32:19It said that to get a land patent,
32:20you gotta be the first person
32:22to file an application for that property.
32:24That's me.
32:26It also says that to file the application,
32:28you have to work the land,
32:29which I have done
32:30by damning that creek and prospecting.
32:33So, by law,
32:35that property belongs to me.
32:44Well.
32:50In a few minutes,
32:52collect my thoughts.
32:54For why?
32:55It's the law.
32:56It's the law.
32:57What you gotta claim?
32:58It's not ranch.
32:59What you gotta claim?
33:00What you gotta claim?
33:00It's not a ranch.
33:01It's not a ranch.
33:02It's not a ranch.
33:04Hey!
33:07If things get out of hand while I'm gone,
33:10neither of you will 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 gets the property.
33:51And it is my finding that Archie Doyle
33:53filed his application before Tom.
33:55You have gotta be kidding me.
33:58However,
34:02I remember the words of my commissioner
34:05who said,
34:06in a world of right and wrong,
34:10uphold what is right.
34:14Tom Moore's been working this land for years,
34:17long before the prospectors arrived.
34:20This new law was targeted at the vast territory that 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.
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 that I've ruled belongs to Tom Moore.
34:46And you can't do anything to the waterways
34:48that would damage his land either.
34:50There you go.
34:50Get your dam off my property, Doyle.
34:54Should have stood up, Paul.
34:58There are other streams
34:59not on his property but nearby.
35:02But it would take me nearly a day to get to him.
35:05There's a thing called an easement.
35:07It allows people to cross another person's property.
35:10Under the circumstances,
35:11I'm going to rule that you also have an easement
35:13to get to those streams.
35:14Wait, wait, wait.
35:15I thought this ruling was 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 with your superior.
35:26Go ahead.
35:27On a fast horse?
35:28It'll take you a week to reach him.
35:29But be my guest.
35:30Now, I think Mrs. Clark
35:32would very much appreciate
35:34having her dining room back.
35:39Dismissed.
35:42Mrs. Clark?
35:43Mrs. Clark?
35:44Mrs. Clark?
35:53Well, how do you feel?
35:55I can't say I'm happy about the fact
35:57that Doyle gets to cross my land,
35:59but it could have gone worse.
36:02Constable Vaughn seems like a fair man
36:04who wants to see real justice done.
36:07Yeah.
36:08It's beautiful.
36:10What you've done here.
36:18Mrs. Clark?
36:19Hello.
36:22Couldn't leave without 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 as prospector.
36:34I made more working for you.
36:36We'll never forget you.
36:41Wait.
36:42Uh.
36:45I have a business proposition for you.
36:48If you stay and run my mess tent,
36:50then you can live here for free.
36:52Room and board.
36:53Really?
36:54Really.
36:55I can't continue to run the mess tent
36:56and the boarding house,
36:57and it's a part-time job,
36:58so you can still try 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.
37:10I got to pass.
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 going to be just fine, boss.
37:27Well, that is great work.
37:29Gentlemen, you saved the crop.
37:31Ha-ha.
37:33I'm forever grateful.
37:35Just doing our job.
37:36We?
37:37I should say, they did.
37:39We're useless with 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.
38:22Well, that apple seed will grow into a tree.
38:25Now, every time we look out our window and see it,
38:28we'll think of Papa's sweetness
38:30and his hope for our future.
38:34Hang on.
38:39See you next time.
38:40Squash tend to go with me.
38:43Happy birthday.
38:53You're welcome.
