00:01Previously on Hope Valley 1874.
00:04I promised myself nothing and no one could ever take her away from me.
00:08Who would take Sarah?
00:09Jim's parents.
00:10What?
00:12See?
00:14Just take the general touch.
00:16Settlers are required to get land patents now.
00:18I already own land, Constable.
00:21Remarkable.
00:25Can I see it?
00:27We're almost there.
00:28Oh, I like it.
00:29Welcome to our new bedroom.
00:36I love it.
00:38You're welcome.
00:41All right, can I bring in my things?
00:42Yes.
00:43Good.
00:44Boy, it certainly seems to have made her day.
00:46Yeah.
00:46How do you look at these curtains?
00:48I stayed up all night working on these, but something's not quite right.
00:50Oh, no, Rebecca, they look fine.
00:52I don't know.
00:52I've got to do all the guest rooms in these.
00:54And if the pattern's not right, I'm going to have to start all over again.
00:56Rebecca.
00:58How are you doing?
00:59What do you mean?
01:01Well, you seem a little preoccupied with being occupied.
01:05Oh.
01:06I'm probably just trying to get the boarding house in order.
01:10Yeah, but nothing's going on.
01:14Well, uh, Jim's birthday in a few days.
01:18Probably just distracting myself.
01:21Okay.
01:23First one since he passed.
01:29Oh, that's pretty hard.
01:33How's Sarah?
01:35I haven't found a way of talking to her about it yet.
01:37She's been so happy.
01:39Yeah.
01:40Um.
01:41Okay, I know exactly where I'm going to put the bed.
01:44Where?
01:45Rebecca.
01:46It's here.
01:46Oh.
01:48Oh.
01:49Yes.
01:49Let's go see.
01:50Yes, yes, yes.
01:51Oh, it's beautiful.
01:52Thank you, ma'am.
01:54Do you still want it in the middle?
01:55Yes, I do.
01:56Uh, just right.
01:56Just here.
01:57Um.
01:58Yes.
01:58Over, over, over.
01:59Stop.
02:00Oh.
02:02Oh, my goodness.
02:05Oh, wow, Clayton.
02:08This is where my boarders will start and end their days.
02:11Us too.
02:11Us too.
02:12Wow, Clayton, you truly outdid yourself.
02:15Eh.
02:15It was Olivia's design.
02:16Well, we did it together.
02:18Rebecca, the whole place looks so beautiful.
02:20It could be shown in a magazine.
02:21I don't know about that.
02:22I still have to finish all the boarders rooms and, uh, oh, I've got to make lunch for
02:25the mess tent.
02:26Oh, everything doesn't have to happen to us.
02:28Yep, it actually does because, uh, I've got to pay Vince for all the furniture that's
02:32on the way.
02:32Mama, don't forget about the mattresses Jenny and I have been making at the ranch.
02:36Yes, we'll get those today.
02:38When are you taking on boarders?
02:39No time like the present.
02:42Alexander.
02:43You're back.
02:45All is well in my territory.
02:47Hmm.
02:47You miss me?
02:48We always do.
02:50All right, um, welcome back.
02:52Your room is not ready yet, sadly.
02:54I guess I'll just have to take it as is.
02:57Are you sure?
02:58Because I haven't been expecting boarders, so it's not nice.
03:02Pete's sleeping outside.
03:04Besides, I, I like the neighborhood.
03:08You must have a lot of work to catch up on, Alexander.
03:11Actually, I do have a lot of paperwork for you back at the trading post.
03:14Folks are bringing by their applications for land patents.
03:17I'll be right over to pick those up.
03:19As soon as I'm settled?
03:22Uh, yes, all right.
03:24Follow me, I'll show you to your room.
03:33Sir, are you all right?
03:36Yeah, I, I just didn't know that a policeman would live here.
03:48Is there hope in the valley?
03:52I, I wanna see it come alive.
03:56I wanna see you come alive.
03:58There is a storm in the coming skies.
04:02I wanna be here when he dies.
04:05I wanna see hope come alive.
04:09I wanna see you come alive.
04:14All right, here it is.
04:15Just, uh, four walls and a ceiling and a floor.
04:19It's perfect.
04:21I hope to have a mattress for you tonight.
04:23Mattress would be grand.
04:25Uh, it was...
04:28Five dollars a week we agreed to.
04:29Oh, yes, thank you.
04:31Oh, this is, um, seven.
04:33Yes.
04:34About that.
04:35Uh, my commanding officer has authorized me
04:39to make your boarding house my base of operations.
04:44I'm sorry?
04:45If that's okay with you, of course.
04:47It might just mean using your parlor every now and then
04:50for Mountie business, which I'd try to keep to a minimum.
04:56If the additional two dollars a week isn't enough...
05:01It's fine.
05:03Grant, uh, he will need you to sign this contract.
05:16If you're worried about me bringing danger to your door, I assure you,
05:22the whole reason I'm out here is to protect folks like you and your daughter.
05:28All right.
05:29I'll have a look.
05:34Look, you said there wouldn't be any police in the Northwest.
05:36I... that's what I was told.
05:39I didn't know about them starting an entirely new force.
05:42Now there's a policeman living with us.
05:44He does seem well-intentioned.
05:48But perhaps we ought to be careful how much we say to him about where we're from.
05:53So they won't find us?
05:54That's right.
05:55Whoa.
06:03Easy, easy, easy.
06:04We can't afford both of us having broken legs.
06:07Somebody's got to break in this here stallion.
06:09Hey.
06:09Easy, easy.
06:10I got to be straight with you, Tom.
06:12I don't got a good feeling about this.
06:13Thunder and I here, we got a bit of an understanding, don't we?
06:16It's going to be a short, smooth ride.
06:20If you say so.
06:20Here we go.
06:32There you go.
06:34Certainly short.
06:35Not exactly smooth.
06:38Very funny.
06:40Okay.
06:42Just take him back.
06:43Give him a little break.
06:44Are you okay, Mr. Moore?
06:46It's like you want to get hurt.
06:47I tried to warn him.
06:48I'm fine.
06:49Thanks for asking, Sarah.
06:51See, Sarah, only his pride is broken.
06:54That's a good one.
06:56Can I go find Jenny?
06:56Yes.
06:57Yes.
06:57But don't forget, we've got to serve lunch at the mess tent.
07:00Okay, Mama.
07:02So what's the secret to breaking a horse, anyway?
07:06It's just finding common ground.
07:08Ah.
07:09Is that just not one of your strong suits?
07:13Clayton tells me you've been putting my lumber to use.
07:16I have, yes.
07:17I'm almost finished with all the rooms in the boarding house.
07:20That's good.
07:21Yeah.
07:22Should be celebrating.
07:23I should be, except that Constable Vaughn is moving in.
07:26A little too close for comfort.
07:29I can't believe I moved us all the way out here to avoid crooked policemen, and now he's making the
07:34boarding house into a police station.
07:36The only difference, of course, being that Vaughn is too much of a by-the-books man to be crooked.
07:42Suspicion breeds suspicion.
07:45Try not to give him anything to be worried about.
07:48Yeah.
07:49Yeah, you're right.
07:52Mama, look!
07:53Oh.
07:54We can carry it ourselves!
07:55That's a big load for small fry.
07:57Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me help you here. Let me help you here.
08:00You ready? Here.
08:01Yeah.
08:01I got you. Go. Come on. Use your legs. Use your muscles. Use your muscles.
08:17Hey, what is going on here? Look at all this water.
08:22Pull up there, big guy.
08:25What's going on? Sea alfalfa. It's flooded.
08:37The shoots are drowning.
08:39You think he's from the rain?
08:42No.
08:44This water came fast.
08:47It's too much for the soil.
08:52It's coming from the stream.
08:55It's coming from the stream!
08:59I'll come with you.
09:00No. You and John go get some ranch hands and start digging drainage ditches as quick as you can,
09:04or all this work will have been for nothing.
09:06You got it.
09:08Save the crop, Nash.
09:11Let's go.
09:15We're going to have to hurry if we're going to make soup in time for lunch.
09:18Okay, Mama.
09:20And then I'll go back to the boarding house and keep working on the rooms.
09:24All right.
09:26Okay.
09:28Mrs. Clark, brought you a loaf of sourdough.
09:31Thank you so much, Rachel. How did you do this without an oven?
09:34In a pot.
09:35On our fire pit.
09:37Well, that must not be easy.
09:38You know, you're welcome to use the oven at the boarding house anytime.
09:41I don't mind taking you off on that.
09:42All right.
09:43I was wondering, maybe I could keep bringing you sourdough, um...
09:48Maybe I could keep making you sourdough in exchange for meals.
09:52Uh, Lars and I have been saving up to move into a place.
09:55I think that's a great idea.
09:59Should we be reserving you a room?
10:02Lars has been away a lot.
10:04Panning.
10:06It's been, um...
10:07Tough getting him to commit.
10:08Yeah.
10:10I understand.
10:13Help me help you.
10:17You know, I remember after Sarah was born, Jim went away to war.
10:24And then after, it's, uh...
10:28It's hard to be on your own.
10:34Gotta look out for each other.
10:45Archie Doyle.
10:48And Tom Moore.
10:51This is going to get ugly.
11:00A dam?
11:02That's right.
11:04Your dam upstream flooded my property, Doyle.
11:08Oh, that wasn't my intent.
11:11Well, what did you think was going to happen?
11:15Well...
11:17First off, who says this is your land?
11:19Me.
11:20And second, that mounted police officer said we could prospect here and that's exactly what we're doing.
11:26You tell him, Paul.
11:27There's nothing you could do.
11:31Actually, there is.
11:33I've applied for a land patent to keep you off my land for good.
11:37Yeah.
11:38I applied, too.
11:42Soon...
11:44This'll all be ours.
11:58To be sure.
12:18We rivals.
12:20I will inimigo immediately.
12:20Yes.
12:48Sandbags doing anything?
12:49Yeah, helping to stem the flow away from the field.
12:52Water keeps coming, though.
12:54Doyle's got no right.
12:56Well, the problem is that Mountie's made him believe he does,
12:59which is why I gotta put a stop to it.
13:02Want some backup?
13:04No.
13:05I'm gonna handle this one on my own.
13:09Let's work, boys.
13:11All right.
13:12I think this is everything.
13:14Coffee, beans.
13:16Sounds delicious.
13:17Bacon.
13:18Oh, good morning.
13:20Come on in.
13:21I've, uh, made you a plate.
13:23Much appreciated.
13:24Hi.
13:25Taking you up and you offered a big bread in your oven.
13:27Oh, fantastic.
13:28Constable looks like we'll have fresh bread in a few hours.
13:30Fresh bread?
13:31Doesn't get better than that.
13:34Mama!
13:35Furniture is here!
13:37Oh, he's so weak early.
13:43Oh, my goodness.
13:45Mama, we have furniture.
13:46We have furniture ever.
13:47You see?
13:47That's why I love my job.
13:49People are happy to see me.
13:51I don't get that in my line of work.
13:53Vince, you're early.
13:54Well, I reckon you'd be eager to get a hold of this stuff.
13:57Oh, I am.
13:58I just, I don't have your money all quite together right now.
14:01Well, I hear you're a woman of your word, so don't worry about it.
14:05I'll help out.
14:06Great.
14:06Okay, yes.
14:07Okay, how about we all pitch in?
14:08Hello!
14:09Hey.
14:12Pat, can you go over there by the door?
14:14Oh, thank you.
14:16Oh, gosh.
14:18Cheers.
14:19What about a dining table?
14:20Let's go get a plate at the bar.
14:24Oh, Rebecca.
14:24Whoa.
14:25Are you all right?
14:27Well, maybe you should have a seat in one of your brand new chairs.
14:31That's all right.
14:32I just have to get this finished so I can get to the mess tent and pay for all of
14:35it.
14:35Look, just maybe you should take a moment for yourself.
14:38Well, when was the last time you ate?
14:39I'm all right.
14:40Don't worry about me.
14:41What?
15:08Good morning.

33:15you will treat the furniture and each other with respect or i'll send you outside
33:21yes ma'am
33:26sorry
33:27tom moore and archie doyle
33:29matter at hand concerns the two of you so
33:32i will allow each of you to make a statement
33:34and then i will make my decision as to who gets the property
33:39mr moore
33:40first you
33:45look
33:47i've been working this land over three and a half years before there was any law on these parts
33:52but now that there is
33:54i filed my application
33:57i poured my soul into this ranch
33:59it's taken my blood sweat and tears
34:04and the fine folks who live and work here are counting on me to continue doing so
34:09there should be no question who it belongs to
34:15that's all i gotta say
34:21you should stand paul
34:24i stand for no man
34:29this rancher
34:30thinks he can plant a flag in the ground and claim everything he sees as his own
34:35well it don't work that way
34:38my daughter here she's smart as a whip
34:41she read a newspaper article about this law
34:50it said that to get a land patent you gotta be the first person to file an application for that
34:56property
34:56that's me
34:58it also says that file the application you have to work the land which i have done by damming that
35:04creek and prospecting
35:06so by law
35:08that property belongs to me
35:18well
35:19i need a few minutes
35:26collect my thoughts
35:28for why
35:30it's the law it's the law
35:31damn it's not ranch
35:33it's the law
35:35it's the law
35:39hey
35:42if things get out of hand while i'm gone
35:44neither of you will get the property
35:54can you do that?
35:55you should be able to
35:57i don't think you can do that
35:59i don't think you can do that
36:07it's easy
36:10get the numbers all
36:11look at them
36:14here we go, here we go
36:16i have made my decision
36:22the new land patent law is clear
36:25The first to file the application gets the property,
36:28and it is my finding that Archie Doyle
36:30filed his application before Tom Moore.
36:32You have got to be kidding me.
36:36However,
36:40I remember the words of my commissioner,
36:43who said,
36:45in a world of right and wrong,
36:48uphold what is right.
36:53Tom Moore's been working this land for years,
36:55long before the prospectors arrived.
36:59This new law was targeted at the vast territory
37:02that remains wild, unclaimed,
37:05not a ranch like his.
37:07And it is for that reason
37:09that I will be accepting his application
37:12and not Mr. Diggs.
37:13There you go.
37:14Eureka!
37:15There we go.
37:17So you say,
37:18I can't prospect on the creek,
37:21even though I followed the rules.
37:24Not on the property that I've ruled belongs to Tom Moore.
37:26And you can't do anything to the waterways
37:28that would damage his land either.
37:30There you go.
37:30Get your dam off my property, Doyle.
37:34Should have stood up, Paul.
37:39There are other streams,
37:40not on his property, but nearby.
37:43But it would take me nearly a day to get to him.
37:46There's a thing called an easement.
37:47It allows people to cross another person's property.
37:51Under the circumstances,
37:52I'm going to rule that you also have an easement
37:54to get to those streams.
37:55Wait, wait, wait.
37:56I thought this ruling was going to keep him
37:58off my land entirely.
38:00Then you thought wrong.
38:01No.
38:01Yes.
38:01And that's it.
38:03Good day to you all.
38:04It still isn't right.
38:06I'm taking this up with your superior.
38:08Go ahead.
38:08On a fast horse,
38:09it'll take you a week to reach him.
38:11But be my guest.
38:12Now, I think Mrs. Clark
38:14would very much appreciate
38:16having her dining room back.
38:21Dismissed.
38:24Dismissed.
38:36Well, how do you feel?
38:38I can't say I'm happy about the fact
38:40that Doyle gets to cross my land,
38:42but it could have gone worse.
38:46Constable Vaughn seems like a fair man
38:48who wants to see real justice done.
38:50Yeah.
38:52It's beautiful.
38:54What you've done here.
39:03Mrs. Clark?
39:04Hello.
39:06I couldn't leave without saying goodbye.
39:08Leave?
39:11You've been real good to us.
39:12What do you mean?
39:13Where?
39:13I don't understand why.
39:15It's time to face facts.
39:17I didn't have much luck as a prospector.
39:20I made more working for you.
39:21We'll never forget you.
39:26Wait.
39:31I have a business proposition for you.
39:33If you stay and run my mess tent,
39:36then you can live here for free.
39:38Room and board.
39:39Really?
39:40Really.
39:41I can't continue to run the mess tent
39:42and the boarding house,
39:43and it's a part-time job,
39:44so you can still try your hand
39:46at panning for gold.
39:48That sounds too good to be true.
39:52What do you say?
39:53Yes.
39:54Absolutely, yes.
39:56What do I care about you?
39:57Oh, I got it.
39:58Yes.
40:02All right.
40:04Crisis averted.
40:05Go get your things.
40:06I'll show you your room.
40:11How's the field looking?
40:12We did it.
40:13Alfalfa's going to be just fine, boss.
40:15Well, that is great work.
40:16Gentlemen, you saved the crop.
40:19Yeah.
40:21I'm forever grateful.
40:22I'm just doing our job.
40:24We?
40:25I should say they did.
40:27We're useless with this cast.
40:29Don't sell yourself short.
40:30Even with a cast,
40:31you're my most steady hand.
40:55Oh, that should be deep enough.
41:01Pick a good one.
41:05This is for you, Papa.
41:07Happy birthday.
41:12Well, that apple seed will grow into a tree.
41:16Now, every time we look out our window and see it,
41:19we'll think of Papa's sweetness
41:21and his hope for our future.
41:45And his hope for our future.
41:50Happy birthday.
41:52Bye.
42:03Bye.
42:07Love affair withowy excavators.
42:13You
