00:00:00Oh
00:00:35It's just the beginning of the day now.
00:00:37Come on.
00:00:38All right.
00:00:44Go back, Dad.
00:00:45Come on, Dad.
00:00:50Where you going, man?
00:00:51Come on.
00:01:01Come on, Dad.
00:01:05Come on.
00:01:06Come on.
00:01:09Come on.
00:01:10Come on.
00:01:12Come on.
00:01:12Come on.
00:01:13Come on.
00:01:13Dear Ma and Pa, the Bible says, for everything there is a season.
00:01:18And after two years of marriage, the time has finally come for Willie and me to put down roots on
00:01:23a ranch of our own.
00:01:30We left the wagon train today and are heading out alone through desolate and beautiful country.
00:01:38It's not green like the farm.
00:01:40We're golden.
00:01:43As you can tell by my handwriting, the way is pretty bumpy.
00:01:47Willie's worried we got a late start leaving Denver.
00:01:50August is not a good month to start up a ranch.
00:01:53I did get a full year of teaching in and we can use the money.
00:01:57We also may be starting up something else.
00:02:01Namely, your first grandchild.
00:02:03I haven't told Willie yet.
00:02:05He's got so much on his mind already.
00:02:07There will be plenty of time to tell him after we've settled.
00:02:10For everything there is a season.
00:02:22Willie, can you pull up for a minute?
00:02:46Have a minute.
00:02:51Feel better?
00:02:54Yes.
00:02:55Bound to get sick bitch around in that wagon.
00:02:58You know, there's still a couple of hours left at daylight.
00:03:01We can keep going if you want.
00:03:03No, that's okay.
00:03:06We'll get an early start in the morning.
00:03:08Come on. I'll help you get supper started.
00:03:19Looks like they're alone, Tramp.
00:03:21Just out for a little romantic ride in the country.
00:03:24Shouldn't we do a roundabout?
00:03:25Make sure they ain't part of a wagon train or something?
00:03:52I'm tired.
00:03:53What I'd like would be a hot bath, a bottle of whiskey and a woman.
00:03:58One out of three ain't bad.
00:04:00What do you say?
00:04:01Enough talk.
00:04:04Let's make me rich today.
00:04:15Sawbuster ties his gun down.
00:04:17So do we.
00:04:18But your average rancher don't tie his gun down, Mason.
00:04:20That's the point.
00:04:27What do you say, Tramp?
00:04:28Some other time, maybe.
00:04:38Willie, bring some forks when you come.
00:04:41There's a lot of people.
00:04:50Please.
00:04:51Maybe.
00:04:55You'll see.
00:04:55Oh, let's go.
00:04:55Come on, Mason.
00:04:57No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:12:32dearest family I miss you

00:13:02I worry about Willie he works with a ferocity that sometimes scares me
00:13:08he's so concerned we won't be ready for winter
00:13:13still not found the right time to tell him about the baby
00:13:29Willie and I went riding over our land
00:13:33what a beautiful country the Lord has made
00:13:41just the other day we saw Indians on our ridge line
00:13:46Willie is very concerned for my safety
00:13:48though there hasn't been any Indian attacks in years in these parts
00:14:17willie and I are sending you a treasure map to our hard-earned savings which we just
00:14:22buried in the wilds of our new ranch
00:14:41I certainly hope you never need to use it
00:14:44he really doesn't trust banks out here
00:14:46but then this is a strange and wild place
00:14:55I've been punching cattle over three years Mr. LaHaye
00:14:58not as experienced as some but more than others
00:15:01where you're here from Henry

00:16:28This, uh, cattle?
00:16:33This... how?
00:16:35What is that supposed to mean?
00:16:37You speak English.
00:16:39That's what they tell me.
00:16:41McLean.
00:16:42Mary Deshawn McLean.
00:16:44We homestead the next track to the south of here.
00:16:48We're neighbors.
00:16:49Mm-hmm. Yes, ma'am.
00:16:51Oh!
00:16:53Please, please come in.
00:16:57Oh, I don't understand, Mr...
00:16:59Just Scotty's fine.
00:17:02Been cowboying since I was a kid.
00:17:05I've done everything there is to do.
00:17:07Well, how come you haven't been hired by one of the big outfits?
00:17:13I can't use this no more, so most people think I'm washed up.
00:17:20But I learned to get by with my left.
00:17:23You take me on, Mr. La Haye.
00:17:26I won't let you down.
00:17:31Get yourself a jar.
00:17:35Mm-hmm.
00:17:41Uh, I'm just getting started.
00:17:44Trying to make this place into a home.
00:17:48Please, sit.
00:17:54I think I have one last jar of strawberry preserves
00:18:00that I've been saving for just such an occasion.
00:18:09Please, here.
00:18:15Now, this here is a county fair blue ribbon winner.
00:18:25Mm.
00:18:27Mm.
00:18:29This is very good.
00:18:30You must teach me how to make this.
00:18:32Oh, my mother made it.
00:18:34I'm not a very good cook.
00:18:37When I was growing up, I mostly helped out my pa.
00:18:40Riding horses, plowing the field,
00:18:43tending to the chickens.
00:18:44Then you will do very well here.
00:18:46Many women who come here are soft.
00:18:48They don't know how to do these things.
00:18:50You do.
00:18:52Still, I feel that my husband would prefer a good meal.
00:18:57I brought you some things.
00:18:59It is too late to start a garden this year,
00:19:01so corn, potatoes, beets.
00:19:04Oh, thank you, Miriam.
00:19:06We are neighbors.
00:19:07The last family was here.
00:19:09Well, they could have asked us for more help,
00:19:12but I think they feared my Shoshone ways.
00:19:17Oh, well, my husband and I will be grateful
00:19:19for whatever help we can get.
00:19:22What is in there?
00:19:24The secret to flaky biscuits.
00:19:28Piglard.
00:19:29Oh!
00:19:30Oh!
00:19:31Excuse me.
00:19:32Sorry.
00:19:32Excuse me.
00:19:33Sorry.
00:19:33Sorry.
00:19:37Sorry.
00:19:37Sorry.
00:19:37Sorry.
00:19:38Sorry.
00:19:39Sorry.
00:19:41Sorry.
00:19:43Sorry.
00:19:44Sorry.
00:19:45Sorry.
00:19:52What do you think about these?
00:19:53I don't know, Brina.
00:20:00Would you be Mr. Lahaye?
00:20:01I would.
00:20:02Well, I am Finn Anders.
00:20:04I would like jobs, sir, if please.
00:20:06What kind of farm is you, son?
00:20:09I come from Norway on boat
00:20:10to find adventure in the big wide open spaces.
00:20:15Well, you have any experience around cattle?
00:20:16No, sir.
00:20:18Well, I am big, strong, bone horse.
00:20:21Well, Finn Anders from Norway.
00:20:25Hope you learn fast.
00:20:27Don't worry, Mr. Lahaye.
00:20:28I learn good and fast.
00:20:33I'm still with her paw.
00:20:35You sure I can't give you any biscuits?
00:20:37No.
00:20:40Thank you, though.
00:20:42Well, maybe next time I'll make them with the pig lard.
00:20:47If I don't French.
00:20:53When you're ready to bring this little one into the world,
00:20:56I will be there.
00:20:59I've delivered many babies.
00:21:00Oh, Miriam, thank you.
00:21:16I'll bring some books for the boys.
00:21:19Good.
00:21:20I don't want them growing up illiterate like their paw.

00:24:21How do you, Mr. Hayes?
00:24:26Go!
00:24:35My dearest Missy, the prospect of being grandparents fills us with such joy and pride.
00:24:43I can only imagine how happy you must be.
00:24:46And by now, I'm sure you've shared the happy news with that hard-working son-in-law of mine.
00:24:51I can still remember the exact moment when your mother told me about you.
00:24:57I was standing in the kitchen, eating breakfast, and most of all, I remember how radiant your mother looked when
00:25:04she told me.
00:25:07And as for you, my strong daughter, I hope you are feeling well, and that it is an easy pregnancy
00:25:14for you.
00:25:16I love you, darling.
00:25:24Ah!
00:25:27Ah!
00:25:30Ah!
00:25:34Ah!
00:25:36Ah!
00:25:37Ah!
00:25:49My wife and my initials.
00:25:55Fine idea, concluding her.
00:25:58Oh, this would be nothing without her.
00:26:01Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother,
00:26:04and cleave to his wife.
00:26:06They shall be as one.
00:26:07Genesis, you know your Bible.
00:26:10Yes.
00:26:11Yes, good read material.
00:26:12Anyway, I'm happy for you.
00:26:14A good marriage, that's something to be treasured.
00:26:19Speaking from experience.
00:26:25Scotty!
00:26:26Ready for another one?
00:26:28Not sure, yes.
00:26:29Hold on.
00:26:35What are you off to?
00:26:36I'm taking some books to our neighbors from the plains.
00:26:40Be back in a couple of hours.
00:26:53She sure is a better rider than I am.
00:26:57Move, move, move.
00:27:09Buffalo.
00:27:10It ain't done by white men neither.
00:27:13White men only take the pelt.
00:27:15Indians use just about everything.
00:27:17The hide, the meat, the horns, some of the bones.
00:27:21Missy and I saw some Indians riding south last week.
00:27:25All this beef is better than this buffalo meat any day.
00:27:28Well, there ain't been Indian trouble in these parts for quite a while.
00:27:31Let's tell the boys.
00:27:32Hey, let's go.
00:27:33Boing!
00:27:37I'm behind us.
00:27:38I'm behind us.
00:27:39I'm behind us.
00:27:39I'm behind us.
00:27:42I'm behind us.
00:27:43Yeah.
00:27:49I'm behind us.
00:27:51I'm behind us.
00:28:00Go ahead, maybe.
00:28:01Okay, I'm behind us.
00:28:04Lord, give this horse wings to fly.
00:28:36Let's go.
00:28:38Go spell Scotty.
00:28:39There's some sick cows that need to be brought in.
00:28:41Yes, boss.
00:28:42Uh, Mrs. LaHaye in the house?
00:28:44No, sir.
00:28:46She up and took some books over to your neighbors to McLean.
00:28:51Oh, she sure can ride.
00:29:13Hurry up!
00:29:15Hurry up!
00:29:39You are safe here, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:29:45I'm so sorry.
00:29:46I'm putting a scare into this poor woman.
00:29:52We were just having a little fun.
00:29:54You've missing a sharp cock!
00:29:59Is it trouble you want for us?
00:30:03My apologies, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:30:07Missy, this is my brother, Sharpclaw.
00:30:11I give you my word, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:30:14My young hunters meant no harm except to laugh at your expense.
00:30:18Their proper behavior when they saw you should have been to make sure that you arrived at your destination safely.
00:30:26Especially a woman in your condition.
00:30:37And this is my husband, Sean.
00:30:42It's a pleasure to meet you, madam.
00:30:43Nice meeting you.
00:30:46And Robert and Bruce.
00:30:47Tell her, boys.
00:30:50Please.
00:30:52Please.
00:30:57Please.
00:31:07Please.
00:31:20Let's go.
00:31:26Can we take out our books?
00:31:28Yes, they're yours.
00:31:35Children, these are the same books used in almost every school in America.
00:31:42Who is this McGuffey?
00:31:44An Ohio schoolmaster who felt a burden from God to teach all American children how to read.
00:31:50American children?
00:31:51Yes, sir. And that includes those whom our late President Lincoln called Native American.
00:31:59Thank you, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:32:01Now, you all have your books, all you men and children out.
00:32:06We have women's business to talk about.
00:32:08Have a great day.
00:32:25You're driving after her.
00:32:30Look at this.
00:32:34Look at this.
00:32:35Look at this.
00:32:38I'm going to drive back.
00:32:40Yes.
00:32:59Surf car!
00:33:03Over there.
00:33:05Come in.
00:33:06Come in.
00:33:07Come in.
00:33:14Willy.
00:33:16This is Miriam, and her husband Sean, and her brother Sharpclaw.
00:33:25We're on our way to the mountains.
00:33:27We intend only to take some buffalo.
00:33:30I have given strict orders that no cattle are to be harmed, and those orders will be obeyed.
00:33:37Are you ready to go home, Missy?
00:33:43Mr. McClain?
00:33:44Mrs. McClain?
00:33:49Sharpclaw?
00:33:54Goodbye.
00:33:56Goodbye.
00:34:00Goodbye.
00:34:18Mr. McClain.
00:34:19Pull her down the whole morning.
00:34:20Uh-huh.
00:34:20Mr. She'll be good in a couple of weeks.
00:34:25Mr. McClain.
00:34:27Mr. McClain.
00:34:31Mr. McClain.
00:34:46Just what did you think you were doing missy? I was taking some McGuffey readers over to the McLean's
00:34:51Miriam asked me to teach her children how to read. How come you never told me about Miriam's visit?
00:34:57I'm worried about you riding alone. It's too dangerous. You won't be doing this again missy. Oh, yes, I will.
00:35:03Oh, no, you won't. Oh, yes, I will
00:35:15Missy
00:35:18Sweetheart
00:35:21Do you miss teaching this much?
00:35:26No, that's not why I'm crying. Then why?
00:35:31Because I truly believe that the Lord sent Miriam McLean to us
00:35:38And why would he do a thing like that?
00:35:42To bring our baby into the world
00:35:49Our baby missy
00:35:53Don't worry Miriam will be my midwife. She's delivered all the babies in her village for many years
00:36:00Our baby
00:36:10Good rub cookie
00:36:13Very good perfect for a brisk night like this is a blanket to keep off the cold
00:36:19Don't give her that old horse blanket you uh, you take mine. This is a hey
00:36:25No, well, thank you both, but I'm fine
00:36:30You told them I
00:36:33I'd like to raise a coffee cup to a
00:36:35Sinus is the strongest we got to mr. And mrs. La Haye and their happy news
00:36:42So say we all
00:36:43So say we all
00:36:45So say we all
00:36:45So say we all
00:36:46So say we all
00:36:46Thank you
00:36:47Thank you
00:36:54Yeah
00:36:58What is it? I'm awake
00:37:01They were just so kind and concerned tonight
00:37:07The hands?
00:37:08Mm-hmm
00:37:10Yeah
00:37:15What about their families?
00:37:19I really don't know much about them
00:37:23But they're good workers. That's the most important thing
00:37:29Shouldn't we know if they have families or not?
00:37:34Missy
00:37:35Missy
00:37:36Lots of times cowboys come out here
00:37:39To get away from things
00:37:43We gotta respect that
00:37:48Still it seems like such a lonely life
00:37:57You're gonna be a wonderful mother
00:37:58Mm-hmm
00:38:18You're gonna be a wonderful mother
00:38:20To get out of your place
00:38:31To get out of your house
00:38:32Well-
00:38:33Looks like you figured it
00:38:34All by the lonesomes
00:38:36Must make me rich today
00:38:55Willie says you know the good book.
00:38:58Sunday mornings, my husband and I read the Bible and pray together.
00:39:02You're invited to join us.
00:39:04Well, thank you, Miss LaHaye, but I don't think so.
00:39:07Aren't you a church-going man, Henry?
00:39:10Actually, I used to be a preacher.
00:39:12A preacher?
00:39:13Yeah, well, the Lord giveth, and the Lord take it away.
00:39:23What did he take away from you?
00:39:26Something very special.
00:39:29My wife.
00:39:43Ben, come here.
00:39:46I need you to reshoe this horse.
00:39:48Yes, boss.
00:39:49Yes.
00:40:10Good morning, Mrs. McLean.
00:40:13Mr. LaHaye?
00:40:18You and Missy going into town today?
00:40:20Yes, we are.
00:40:23Mrs. McLean, I know when we first met.
00:40:26I was...
00:40:27Out here, neighbors need one another, Mr. LaHaye.
00:40:31I couldn't agree more.
00:40:33Please.
00:40:43Oh, Lufo!
00:41:05Basically, let's take it up.
00:41:10You make it look so easy, Sonny.
00:41:15I'll practice lots of hours to make it look like that.
00:41:18Okay, come here.
00:41:20Remember how I showed you?
00:41:21You coil it in your left hand.
00:41:22That.
00:41:23Make sure there ain't no kinks in the line.
00:41:25This is the noose.
00:41:28Okay?
00:41:29Mm-hmm.
00:41:30Let's see what you got.
00:41:37Loosen your wrist.
00:41:38When you're ready, cast it off.
00:41:42Oh, Mr. Gam.
00:41:45It's all right.
00:41:45Keep practicing.
00:41:46Get another rope.
00:41:56Good day.
00:42:00I'm Missy LaHaye.
00:42:02He seems like a nice boy.
00:42:04My brother.
00:42:06I'm glad to hear that he has family.
00:42:08I've been a little worried about him.
00:42:10He's fine.
00:42:12And your mother and father?
00:42:16They're gone.
00:42:18No offense, ma'am, but...
00:42:20It ain't your business worrying about someone who's not your kin.
00:42:23It's just Christian charity, Mr. Huffman.
00:42:30I hope we're not interrupting you, ma'am.
00:42:33What do you want, Trent?
00:42:36I think you better get saddled up.
00:42:39We got some riding to do.
00:42:48Sonny, I did it.
00:42:50I wrote the post.
00:42:52Gotta go now.
00:42:54Behave yourself.
00:42:55Keep practicing.
00:42:56You'll be back, though.
00:42:58You know it.
00:43:00Got my rope.
00:43:19Sonny gone a lot?
00:43:21It's his job.
00:43:23He's making money so we can have a ranch of our own someday.
00:43:27He sounds like a very good brother.
00:43:45Got yourself a strong breed.
00:43:47Yeah, we'll know more after roundup.
00:43:50Let's call it a day.
00:44:00Now, children, and Mr. McLean,
00:44:04I want you to write these letters on your slates,
00:44:07and then send them out.
00:44:09And when you know them,
00:44:11you'll have mastered the entire alphabet.
00:44:15Help each other out now.
00:44:22The weather's turning cold,
00:44:25and Sharkclaw and his camp will be leaving tomorrow,
00:44:28and you probably shouldn't get a chill riding over.
00:44:31So this was my last class for a while?
00:44:34The children have learned much from you, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:44:47I'll keep at it, Mr. McLean.
00:44:51Having a turbulent time finding a word that starts with an X.
00:44:55That is a difficult letter.
00:44:58Sean's always used an X to sign his name.
00:45:01Well, not for much longer.
00:45:24I'll keep them on it.
00:45:32Good.
00:45:34God go with you and your family, Sharkclaw.
00:45:40Miriam, I'll be seeing you.
00:45:42Yes, you will.
00:45:45Safe travels.
00:45:48Goodbye.
00:45:52Come!
00:45:57Willie and the ranch hands have worked hard
00:45:59to ensure the livestock survive the long winter.
00:46:06Cookie and I have prepared the soil for a large garden next spring.
00:46:10I so enjoyed his companionship.
00:46:12Band is cooking.
00:46:13Here I just might make a sweet tater patch.
00:46:17We have large taters in here.
00:46:27It's all coming together.
00:46:29It's all coming together.
00:46:30It's beginning to feel like home.
00:46:43Now, as we wait for snow,
00:46:45the ranch hands have time to go into town
00:46:47for some well-deserved relaxation.
00:46:50I've got a bit of hand in here.
00:46:52Don't tell us what you've got.
00:46:54How many?
00:46:55Three.
00:47:02As for Willie,
00:47:03he still works harder than anyone.
00:47:11Maybe more now,
00:47:13knowing the baby's coming.
00:47:19As we prepare for winter,
00:47:21I'm reminded of Isaiah
00:47:23preparing the way for our Savior's birth.
00:47:25And I think warmly of all of you
00:47:28as Christmas approaches.
00:47:42Are you warm enough?
00:47:44I'm fine.
00:47:46Why are you always so warm?
00:47:48Even your feet.
00:47:50Well, someone's got to warm
00:47:51those icy toes of yours.
00:47:56I guess that's why
00:47:56we're a perfect match.
00:47:59The sky looks like snow.
00:48:01We're lucky it held off this long.
00:48:05You know, I was thinking today,
00:48:07this is going to be our first Christmas
00:48:09in this house, Willie.
00:48:12I bet you miss your family.
00:48:14All those family traditions
00:48:15you talk about.
00:48:18Sure, I miss them.
00:48:20But we'll start
00:48:21new traditions here.
00:48:23Well, with the weather settling in,
00:48:25this might be our last chance
00:48:26to get into town for a while.
00:48:29Better tell Santa
00:48:30what you want for Christmas.
00:48:32No, nothing store-bought.
00:48:33That would be just
00:48:34a waste of money.
00:48:36Well, what then?
00:48:40All I want for Christmas
00:48:42is to be surrounded
00:48:43by the people we care about.
00:48:58This year is mine.
00:49:00No.
00:49:05You got the watch.
00:49:08I got the watch
00:49:11because mine broke.
00:49:13It's a practical thing.
00:49:15I have to know
00:49:16the time
00:49:17in order to steal.
00:49:21Give me more money.
00:49:24No.
00:49:27You got two brooches
00:49:28and a watch
00:49:29and I don't got none of that.
00:49:30I got two salt and pepper shaker
00:49:33and, uh...
00:49:34You ever wish
00:49:34you had a place
00:49:35to call your own?
00:49:46a little coffee?
00:49:50A little coffee?
00:49:58Mill?
00:50:00Mrs. Leher would
00:50:01like to say something.
00:50:03The clouds will never find
00:50:04this all the way out here,
00:50:05I bet.
00:50:07Willie and I
00:50:08would like to cordially
00:50:09invite you all
00:50:10to Christmas dinner.
00:50:14Unless you have
00:50:15other places to be.
00:50:21Well, then that settles it.
00:50:23Christmas dinner
00:50:24with all the trimmings.
00:50:25Trimmings?
00:50:27Now, where do you
00:50:28rustle up some of those?
00:50:30Well, I was hoping
00:50:31you might help me, Cookie.
00:50:33Uh-huh.
00:50:41I got that.
00:50:43Mrs. LaHaye!
00:50:44Mrs. LaHaye!
00:50:45Jeff!
00:50:46What is it?
00:50:47Mrs. LaHaye,
00:50:48I got us something
00:50:49from Sonny.
00:50:50What's it say?
00:50:52Not sure.
00:50:55Come here.
00:50:57It's around the plan.
00:51:09Dear little brother,
00:51:11it's real hot here.
00:51:13I'll bring you some beans
00:51:14that jump all by themselves.
00:51:16Stay good,
00:51:17and I'll see you...
00:51:19and I'll see you...
00:51:23Um...
00:51:24Nice be going, Missy.
00:51:28Well...
00:51:28thank you, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:51:32Thank you, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:51:37The boy's got one speed.
00:51:41Runnin'.
00:51:45By the time this arrives, I expect it will be nigh on to Christmas.
00:51:49I think on how long the world lay in darkness before the light of the world was born in that
00:51:54humble little stable.
00:51:58We have been blessed to receive his light.
00:52:02Not only to live in hope ourselves, but to take hope to others.
00:52:06I am sending you something which I know you'll remember from many Christmases past.
00:52:11May it start a new tradition in the LaHaye household and remind you we are there in spirit, sharing your
00:52:18first Christmas on the ranch.
00:52:21And know we will miss you, but our hearts are forever knit together in love.
00:52:40Take it round, take it round, Henry.
00:52:43Round.
00:52:44Here.
00:52:45Here.
00:52:45Finn.
00:52:46Come on, Finn.
00:52:47How are you?
00:52:52I just don't understand why Willie had to go into town on Christmas Eve.
00:52:57I'm sure he'll be along shortly, ma'am.
00:53:01Wow.
00:53:06Willie, LaHaye, where have you been?
00:53:08It's Christmas Eve.
00:53:10I know.
00:53:12There's going to be one more for Christmas, Missy.
00:53:16Merry Christmas, Miss LaHaye.
00:53:19Merry Christmas, Jeff.
00:53:29Please come in. Come in.
00:53:30Come in.
00:53:41There's just one thing missing.
00:53:54This star stood on top of every Christmas tree we had when I was growing up.
00:54:02Go ahead.
00:54:07Here you go, little man.
00:54:09Bye-bye.
00:54:16Bye-bye.
00:54:39Thank you, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:54:41Thank you, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:54:48It's the best one I ever had.
00:54:51Well, thank you, but I couldn't have done it without Cookie.
00:54:54Well, thank you, ma'am.
00:54:58How's it time to open presents?
00:55:00Presents?
00:55:05Yes, Jeff.
00:55:06I think now it's time to open presents.
00:55:11All right, let's see, uh, Fan.
00:55:20Scotty.
00:55:23Henry.
00:55:27And Jeff.
00:55:28Oh, me.
00:55:31Cookie.
00:55:34Well, go ahead.
00:55:35Open them up.
00:55:42Oh.
00:55:44Oh.
00:55:57Thank you, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:56:00This is the best Christmas I ever had.
00:56:03Me, too.
00:56:08What is it, Scotty?
00:56:09This is the first Christmas present I ever got.
00:56:23Well, gentlemen, I know how you all feel about Bible reading.
00:56:27But it wouldn't be Christmas without it.
00:56:29So, you are welcome to stay.
00:56:31But if you want to leave...
00:56:33I believe I'd like to stay, ma'am.
00:56:37Yeah.
00:56:38I'd like to stay, too.
00:56:40Me, too, ma'am.
00:56:48Gospel according to Luke.
00:56:59And so, Joseph went up from Galilee to the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to be enrolled
00:57:08with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.
00:57:11And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered.
00:57:15And she gave birth to her firstborn son.
00:57:18And she wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger.
00:57:22And an angel of the Lord appeared above them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them.
00:57:26And they were filled with fear.
00:57:29And the angel said to them,
00:57:31Be not afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy, which will come to all
00:57:37the people.
00:57:37For unto you this day is born in the city of David, the Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
00:57:46Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen,
00:57:57amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen,
00:58:04amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen,

00:58:06amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
00:58:27Oh, I've missed you neighbor I missed you too
00:58:52Sonny! Sonny!
00:58:59Oh, now, isn't that sweet?
00:59:01There's nothing good and decent with you guys.
00:59:05Hey, Mason, come on. Let's give him some privacy.
00:59:08Oh, well, that's just real nice of you, Trent.
00:59:19Oh, I've really got a lot of stuff to tell you about.
00:59:22Um, it's kind of hard to know what to start.
00:59:27I'm certain two glasses of whiskey.
00:59:29Read him and weep him.
00:59:32I'll go around back.
00:59:33We got that for a minute.
00:59:37Deal, boys.
00:59:39As long as you all, man, don't blow it over here.
00:59:41That's some hair right there.
00:59:45Mind if I sit in?
00:59:48We're just about to leave. I'm out.
00:59:50Oh, come on, Scotty. Just a few more hands.
00:59:53I can win it all back. I feel it.
00:59:55Let's go, Finn. You're almost out of money anyway.
00:59:57Oh, but he doesn't pay you.
00:59:58Well, like all cowboys, we get paid when the cattle is sold.
01:00:03No, no, no. Mr. LaHaye pay us anyway.
01:00:06He dig up a tin of dollar bills he did just to pay us.
01:00:10It's like a buried treasure.
01:00:12Don't listen to him. He's drunk. Now, come on, Finn.
01:00:15He's drunk. Now, come on, Finn.
01:00:23Come on, Finn.
01:00:24This is like buried treasure.
01:00:45Oh, Henry's going to Sunday morning meetings.
01:00:49Well, maybe I should be going, too.
01:00:53Believe in the way they does makes them the way they is.
01:00:58It bides looking into sometime.
01:01:05Henry, will you be so kind as to lead us in prayer?
01:01:10I don't know, ma'am.
01:01:12I'm afraid I'm out of practice.
01:01:16Kind of hard to start.
01:01:22It's okay to stumble.
01:01:25He's ready to catch you.
01:01:37Lord, sometimes we look but don't perceive.
01:01:48At times we listen but don't understand.
01:01:53Please, open our ears and eyes to your truth.
01:02:00Amen.
01:02:01Amen.
01:02:02Amen.
01:02:05It's open to everyone on Sunday.
01:02:11Oh, Finn.
01:02:12Oh, I'm so happy to see you.
01:02:13Please come in.
01:02:21Sorry, Moose.
01:02:23You have to jump on me.
01:02:25What do you want?
01:02:26I want your money.
01:02:28Let's go.
01:02:29Follow him.
01:02:30Get up.
01:02:31Move it out.
01:02:34Hey there, come on.
01:02:36Let's go.
01:02:37Come on.
01:02:39Come on.
01:02:40Come on.
01:02:40Good Sunday morning to y'all.
01:02:43Come on.
01:02:57Sonny?
01:03:02Jeff, I didn't know.
01:03:04I thought she was in town.
01:03:06What you doing?
01:03:10Ain't this sweet.
01:03:12I'll write all of you.
01:03:13Sit down.
01:03:15Come on.
01:03:19You too, kid.
01:03:22Just do as the man says.
01:03:29I'll just go over and get my treasure, man.
01:03:32Leave her alone.
01:03:35Now, I missed on purpose.
01:03:38But I won't do it twice.
01:03:40Please, you can see she's expected.
01:03:42So am I.
01:03:43I'm expecting to come back here with more money than I left with.
01:03:48I don't know what makes you think that there's any money.
01:03:50Well, you're Norwegian.
01:03:53Cowpoke has a tendency to run off at the mouth after a couple of pints.
01:03:58Showing off of his money and bragging about how his boss has a treasure buried on his land.
01:04:05Tie him up.
01:04:12You do as he says, Missy.
01:04:14You'll be all right.
01:04:16You remember when we dug that hole?
01:04:18I think I remember.
01:04:19You'll be fine.
01:04:23All right.
01:04:25Enough said.
01:04:26Let's make me rich today.
01:04:29Yeah.
01:04:43Hurry it up.
01:04:45I need something to dig with.
01:04:47Well, then, use your hands.
01:04:49Make it quick.
01:05:02Is that it or not?
01:05:05Well, then toss it over.
01:05:31You're going to have to show me where the rest of the money is.
01:05:34But you have all the money.
01:05:36There is no more.
01:05:37No, I don't have all the money.
01:05:40Is that Norwegian?
01:05:42He wasn't spending silver.
01:05:44He was spending cash.
01:05:56I could just about eat me a whole side of beef right now.
01:05:59Well, if you turn me loose, I'll cook you whatever you want, like rat stew.
01:06:05Oh, now, how stupid do you think I am?
01:06:08You're working for Trent, ain't you?
01:06:10Equal partners is what we is.
01:06:13That right, Sonny?
01:06:14You equal partners with these lowlives?
01:06:17Shut your mouth!
01:06:23What do you tell your brother, Sonny?
01:06:28What do you tell him what you do to make money?
01:06:31Tell him all you do is rob innocent people.
01:06:34Probably been involved in a murder or two.
01:06:35That's a lie.
01:06:37Tell him he's wrong, Sonny.
01:06:39You ain't never killed nobody.
01:06:40Tell him, Sonny.
01:06:42Tell him you ain't like these other bad men.
01:06:46I ain't never killed nobody.
01:06:48Never.
01:06:53Don't you see?
01:06:56I'm doing this for us, Jeff.
01:06:58Your future, you and me, and the life we're trying to have.
01:07:01No, Sonny.
01:07:02You can't mean that.
01:07:05What would Mom and Pa say about your thieving ways?
01:07:07They'd say good for you, Sonny.
01:07:10I'm trying to make a life for you and your little brother.
01:07:12So you think they're looking down from heaven right now,
01:07:17and they're proud of you?
01:07:19Aren't you tired of living in that boarding house?
01:07:21Huh?
01:07:23No place that's really yours?
01:07:25I want a better life for us, Jeff.
01:07:28That's why I'm doing this.
01:07:30This folks is my friend, Sonny.
01:07:32Mrs. Lehaven teaching me to read.
01:07:35Mrs. Lehaven teaches me for the Sunday meetings,
01:07:37and he's teaching me ranching.
01:07:39These are the kind of people things always work out for.
01:07:41They'll be fine.
01:07:44We ain't taking nothing from them.
01:07:45They can't get back ten times over.
01:07:52When this is over,
01:07:53you and me can spend all the time you want together.
01:08:18Get it out of there.
01:08:46You got a key for this?
01:08:48No.
01:08:54Don't trust nobody anymore.
01:09:02Oh, my.
01:09:04Isn't that great?
01:09:08Ooh.
01:09:09Ha.
01:09:10Put your hands in the air.
01:09:14You know how to use that?
01:09:21I missed on purpose.
01:09:24I won't do it twice.
01:09:26Shooting a man's a different story.
01:09:28A good Christian woman like yourself wouldn't hurt anyone.
01:09:32So what are you going to do?
01:09:43That's two more shots.
01:09:53Oh.
01:09:55Oh.
01:09:57Oh.
01:09:59Oh.
01:10:00Oh.
01:10:00Oh.
01:10:01Oh.
01:10:01Oh.
01:10:19This is for your own good.
01:10:28Look.
01:10:32Where's the woman, Trent?
01:10:33What did you do?
01:10:34Me.
01:10:36Where is she?
01:10:37Go get her.
01:10:38Go find her.
01:10:39What are you doing here?
01:10:40It's all right, Jack.
01:10:41I will.
01:10:41I will.
01:10:42Get her.
01:10:42It's all right.
01:10:43Listen to me.
01:10:44Listen to me.
01:10:45I will, Jack.
01:10:46Where'd you deal with that girl?
01:10:47Where is she?
01:10:48It's all right.
01:10:50It's all right, Jack.
01:10:51It's all right.
01:10:52Where is she, Trent?
01:10:53You better tell me she ain't hurt her, so help me.
01:11:02Stand up slowly.
01:11:07Drop your gun, Sonny, or he's dead.
01:11:09Missy.
01:11:12Missy?
01:11:13Sonny, go cut Willie loose.
01:11:15And don't you so much as nick him.
01:11:23I find it hard to believe you got the drop on Trent.
01:11:26I got his gun and his dignity.
01:11:44Missy, pick up the gun and move away from him.
01:11:57Looks like you got me.
01:12:01Sonny, tie him up, just like you did us.
01:12:04And maybe we'll ask the law to spare your life.
01:12:11Here, let me help you with that, Sonny.
01:12:19Sonny!
01:12:25Sonny!
01:12:28Hey, just don't go away, Sonny.
01:12:31Don't go.
01:12:32Don't go away.
01:12:36Fix him up, won't you?
01:12:37He wouldn't have hurt you.
01:12:38Oh, I would fix him if I could.
01:12:40I knew he wouldn't hurt me.
01:12:45I'm so sorry for what I've done, ma'am.
01:12:48Please forgive me.
01:12:51Don't hold my deeds against him.
01:12:54He's got no one now.
01:12:55He's got nobody.
01:12:58Oh, no, forgiveness is yours, Sonny.
01:13:01He'll be with us now.
01:13:02I promise.
01:13:11You grew up to be a man that Pa would be proud of you.
01:13:17Hear me, Jeff?
01:13:19I will.
01:13:21Then you promise me you won't spend your days missing me.
01:13:26Ask me no questions.
01:13:28I'll tell you no lies.
01:13:35I'll pray for you, Sonny.
01:13:37Now don't go wasting your prayers on me, ma'am.
01:13:43I've done too many bad things for God to be forgiven.
01:13:46Long ago, there was a thief left on a cross to die, just like you, Sonny.
01:13:52But then he heard the glorious words of the Lord about redemption.
01:13:57And that he knew that very day he was going to be in paradise.
01:14:03He's waiting for you, Sonny.
01:14:06Go with God.
01:14:09God.
01:14:26He's waiting for you.
01:14:47Thou anointest my head with oil, and my cup runneth over.
01:14:53Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
01:15:00And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
01:15:05Amen.
01:15:26Jeff's part of our family now.
01:15:30Yep.
01:15:32If someday he wants to take the LaHaye name, I'd be fine with that too.
01:15:41That would be nice, Willie.
01:15:49We are going to need a bigger house.
01:15:53I was thinking I could knock out this back wall, maybe put it in a bedroom or two.
01:15:58Willie.
01:16:03Yeah?
01:16:04I think maybe you should put your boots back on.
01:16:09It's time.
01:16:12But Miriam said we were still a few weeks away.
01:16:14No, I think you'd best be getting Miriam.
01:16:17Now.
01:16:20What's the matter?
01:16:23You're going to sleep in the bunkhouse tonight, Jeff.
01:16:25Just like a real cowboy.
01:16:29I'm having the baby.
01:16:36Whew.
01:16:51Maybe I'll go, uh, check on this cattle.
01:16:55Okay, sure.
01:16:57I'll go with you.
01:16:59Uh, maybe I'll wait a little bit.
01:17:04Yeah, I'll go with you.
01:17:05Yeah, I'll wait.
01:17:08It ain't your firstborn you're worrying about.
01:17:11Now, quit it.
01:17:12You're making the bus crazy.
01:17:17It's gotten awfully quiet in there.
01:17:38It's a boy.
01:17:43Really?
01:17:47Come and meet your son.
01:17:49Come and meet your son.
01:18:15We never did get around to deciding what to name him.
01:18:18I was thinking, Matthew, after your brother.
01:18:26Matthew, Isaiah, Lehay.
01:18:33Maddie.
01:18:37It fits.
01:18:39It fits.
01:18:42It fits.
01:18:43It fits.
01:18:45It fits.
01:18:46It fits.
01:18:47Shoo.
01:18:49Shoo.
01:18:50Shoo.
01:18:50She needs her rest.
01:18:52It's all right, Miriam.
01:18:54You can come closer.
01:19:16I remember thinking that day we had finally reached the end of our journey.
01:19:21But now I know that the journey's long and lasts a lifetime.
01:19:27Each day on the ranch, I am reminded of God's plan in the never-ending circle of life.
01:19:33Come on.
01:19:35Yeah.
01:19:37Yeah.
01:19:41Yeah.
01:19:43Yeah.
01:19:45Yeah.
01:19:47Yeah.
01:19:48Yeah.
01:19:49Yeah.
01:19:49Yeah.
01:19:50Yeah.
01:19:52I love you.
01:19:56Bye, Willie.
01:20:07Your grandsons grow bigger and stronger each day.
01:20:11Matthew has your eyes and hopes to see his granddaddy soon.
01:20:15Bye, Henry.
01:20:16Jeff has thrived, and Willie and I are very proud he has taken the name of LeHaye.
01:20:22Bye-bye, Scotty.
01:20:37You take care of everything, Mr. LeHaye.
01:20:39We've been back pretty soon, now.
01:20:42See you, Cookie.
01:20:43Take care.
01:20:44Safe travels.
01:20:46The herd has increased by another 40 head, and Willie and the ranch hands are driving some of them to
01:20:51the market.
01:21:04Whoa, there's one.
01:21:07Oh, wow.
01:21:08This is huge.
01:21:12You're getting it?
01:21:13Okay.
01:21:14The garden has given us a bounty of vegetables to put up for the winter.
01:21:18Who knows what the next year will bring.
01:21:20I am confident the love of God and family will light our path, and a renewed faith in the words,
01:21:27For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven.
01:21:55For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven.
01:21:57You're getting it?
