00:03I've been inviting more people to the party tomorrow.
00:05Have you? How many?
00:07Like you said, the more people who see this place, the more rooms we can rent.
00:11That's true.
00:13And I do want it to be a celebration of all the hard work we've put in.
00:17Thanks.
00:18Oh, good morning, Mr. Maxwell. I saved you a plate.
00:21That smells delicious.
00:23Good.
00:24There you are.
00:26Thanks, honey.
00:28Has everyone gone?
00:29Most prospectors are in a hurry to start panning in the morning.
00:32Hence the term gold rush. I prefer to adopt the pace of nature. Patience is her secret.
00:37There you are.
00:43Well, how long have you been doing this?
00:45Oh, not long at all. I just thought I'd give it a go.
00:49Ah, where are you from?
00:51Originally just outside London.
00:53Oh, and then where more recently?
00:56Here and there.
01:02I just remembered I have some reading to do.
01:04You know what, I'm going to take this upstairs.
01:06Excuse me.
01:08I'm sorry. We really didn't mean to disturb your breakfast. Please.
01:11No, no. Not at all.
01:12I thoroughly enjoyed our little chat.
01:25I just heard Billy Kane say he had two gold nuggets go missing this morning.
01:28I had no one go missing yesterday. I thought I might have lost it.
01:31See? I ain't losing my mind.
01:32What are you talking about?
01:33A couple of days ago, I had three nuggets go missing.
01:35Harry said I must have forgot where I put them.
01:37Yeah, well, your memory ain't the best.
01:38Yeah, but I remember what's important. Like, where I hid my gold.
01:41Well, this ain't right. Can't be coincidence.
01:43What are we going to do?
01:44We've got to do something.
01:54Hi, Mr. Moore.
01:55Morning.
01:56Hello. What did we have the pleasure?
01:59Well, Peggy sent you this.
02:01Oh, the table runner.
02:03I thought she was sending it with Nash.
02:05Nash was busy, so I offered.
02:09I never really got the point of those.
02:12They just warm up a room.
02:14I think you do that all on your own.
02:22Sarah, do you need some help?
02:26Please.
02:27Okay.
02:28On three.
02:28Okay.
02:28One, two, three.
02:30Okay.
02:30There you go.
02:31Here.
02:31Who needs a ladder, am I right?
02:35Oh, Mama, I need more string.
02:38Coming right up.
02:39All right.
02:40Let's grab this one.
02:40You can see that.
02:41Whoa!
02:42Careful.
02:43Careful.
02:46No.
02:50No.
02:53No.
02:56No.
03:04You've got to retire.
03:06I am.
03:07I am.
03:13Closer.
03:14Closer.
03:15Yes.
03:16Got it?
03:17Yeah.
03:17Nice work.
03:20Here you go, sweetie.
03:21Thanks, Mama.
03:21Yeah.
03:21Are you coming to our party tomorrow, Mr. Moore?
03:23Party?
03:25I don't know.
03:26Am I invited?
03:27Of course you are.
03:28Right, Mama?
03:29Hmm?
03:30Oh, of course.
03:31Everyone's invited.
03:32Come if you like.
03:34Great.
03:41Can I help you?
03:43Mrs. Clark?
03:45Where's that police officer at?
03:46He's transporting a prisoner to Buxton.
03:48Why?
03:49We got a thief in the camp.
03:50My gold is stolen.
03:51Well, not just his.
03:52A few people were robbed.
03:53We don't want to be next.
03:55The thief in the prospector camp.
03:56Imagine that.
03:58I will let the constable know as soon as he gets back,
04:00but there's nothing much else I can do.
04:05Place, uh, sure cleaned up real good.
04:10We have rooms for rent.
04:12Can I see?
04:13I would love to give you a tour.
04:15Please, follow me.
04:19You okay?
04:19Yes, thank you.
04:29Hi, boss.
04:31Jeremiah.
04:38I am.
04:39You gotta admit, Leroy, I didn't think you'd ever sell this spread.
04:42Don't need to tell you working this land ain't easy.
04:45No, it ain't.
04:46And with my land, you'll be the biggest landowner in the territory.
04:50That's a good thing.
04:51I do plan on expanding my herd.
04:54I won't lie.
04:55I had other interests.
04:56Well, you're the person I want to sell my land to.
04:58I appreciate that.
05:00I'll take good care of her.
05:02I know you will.
05:04Can you get me the cash by tomorrow?
05:07Absolutely.
05:14Have you gotten any closer to deciding about art school?
05:16No, I haven't.
05:18You've been talking about moving to the big city for so long.
05:20I thought you'd jump at the chance.
05:22I know, but you're here and this place has been my whole world.
05:26So you're not even gone yet and you're already homesick?
05:31Hi, ladies.
05:32Oh, sorry to interrupt.
05:34I was wondering if you had a petticoat I could buy for Sarah.
05:37I think we do.
05:38I can go check in the back.
05:39Oh, and can you let Sarah know that I'll be by later today to help her with the cookies for
05:42tomorrow?
05:42Oh, sure.
05:43Thank you for all your help with her.
05:44Of course.
05:45She's like the little sister I never have.
05:48So Sarah's going to get all gussied up, huh?
05:50She is.
05:51You know, it's the first time I've been able to afford to buy something pretty for her since we got
05:55here.
05:55Oh, she's going to love that.
05:57I couldn't help but notice she had a lot of visitors at the boarding house.
06:01Yes, they were all looking for Constable Vaughan.
06:03Apparently there were some robberies down at the camp.
06:06I can't really say I'm surprised.
06:08I also noticed that Tom dropped by.
06:11Yeah, I guess he came to bring a table runner and help Sarah with the bunting.
06:17Oh, fancy that.
06:19Yeah, he was dead set against the boarding house and now he's decorating for the opening.
06:24Yeah.
06:25I suppose he's warming up to the idea of the place.
06:29I suppose.
06:31I found something.
06:35Oh.
06:36Oh.
06:37I'm beautiful.
06:39You always.
06:59Mama?
07:00Yeah?
07:01What's going on?
07:03Have you seen my ring?
07:04No.
07:06Why?
07:06Is it missing?
07:10I'm sure I just, um, put it somewhere.
07:14It's alright.
07:15I'll find it.
07:16Look what I bought for you for the party.
07:19A new petticoat!
07:20Thank you!
07:23Thank you!
07:24Oh my.
07:37Hello.
07:39Hi.
07:41Hey.
07:41Hey.
07:42Did you about the robberies at the camp?
07:44Uh, I did.
07:45I was also robbed.
07:47What?
07:48I had a ruby ring stolen.
07:49Don't tell Sarah.
07:50She doesn't know him.
07:51I'm trying to find a way to break it to her.
07:53Who was stolen today?
07:54Yeah, right after the prospectors came by looking for Alexander.
07:57Who were they?
08:00Wanda, Pete, Mr. Maxwell, Doyle, a bunch of them.
08:04I don't, I don't know everybody's name.
08:07That's terrible.
08:09When did the robberies at the camp start?
08:11Just in the last few days.
08:13So right around the time Mr. Maxwell arrived?
08:16Well, now they mention it.
08:17He doesn't do much prospecting.
08:19He just wanders around asking people questions, looking at their sluice boxes.
08:22And yesterday, I heard him come back after midnight.
08:27Who goes prospecting at that hour?
08:33Mr. Maxwell?
09:06What are you doing?
09:10I'm just bringing you some fresh towels.
09:13And, uh, be on my way.
09:22Excuse me.
09:23I won't be needing fresh towels and sheets for the duration of my stay.
09:27Fine.
09:40Evening, Daddy.
09:41Evening, Tom.
09:43I'm here about that $36 I owe you.
09:46Yes, thank you.
09:47I was just about to pay you a visit at the ranch.
09:50Right.
09:50Well, I was actually hoping you would extend me an extra 30-day credit.
09:56Geez, Tom, are you having money troubles?
09:59No, not exactly.
10:01I'm hoping to use that money for something else.
10:04Okay.
10:05Fine.
10:06Great.
10:08But only because Frank would want me to.
10:11Indeed.
10:15It was Frank.
10:18Yeah, me too.
10:20Every day.
10:24But I guess, uh, true love never dies.
10:28Even when the one you love does.
10:34Okay.
10:42I'm going to take a stroll.
10:50Mr. Maxwell?
10:51Yes.
10:51Hi, Rebecca.
10:52I thought Sarah and I could get started on those cookies for tomorrow.
10:54Yes.
10:55Actually, she's in our room reading.
10:56Could you stay with her while I go take care of something?
10:58Of course.
11:10Rebecca.
11:12What's wrong?
11:13Something was stolen from my room and I suspect a border.
11:16What?
11:16Where are you going?
11:18I'm going to follow him and see where he goes.
11:20By yourself?
11:21Yeah.
11:23Do you want to come?
11:25Yes, I do.
11:29He is up to something.
11:31What was stolen?
11:33My ring.
11:36What ring?
11:39It was the 10th anniversary gift from Jim.
11:46Sorry.
11:49It was the last thing he ever gave to me.
11:53I can't lose that ring.
12:05Jenny says her paw is going to bring his fiddle and play some music.
12:07Oh!
12:07I wonder if Nash knows if Virginia are real.
12:10Ooh, or a waltz.
12:11I don't know how to waltz.
12:13You don't?
12:13Well, it's not hard.
12:14I can show you.
12:15Would you?
12:16Of course.
12:17Okay.
12:18Okay.
12:19Ready?
12:19Yeah.
12:20Okay.
12:21One hand here.
12:21One hand here.
12:22On my shoulder.
12:23Yep.
12:24And then it's three simple steps.
12:25Okay.
12:25So.
12:26One, two, three.
12:28Keep messing up.
12:29No, that's okay.
12:29It just takes practice.
12:30Okay.
12:30Ready?
12:32One, two, three.
12:34One.
12:34Oh, hi Clayton.
12:36Brought some eggs and apples from Peggy's for the party.
12:39Have you ever waltzed before?
12:41Oh.
12:42Once or twice.
12:43Let's show Sarah so she can learn.
12:46No, I'll be headed back.
12:48Got some horseshoes to make.
12:50This late?
12:53Work never stops.
12:56Ladies?
12:57Bye Clayton.
13:04Okay.
13:05Ready?
13:05Yeah.
13:06Okay.
13:09Wow.
13:09You have done really well for yourself.
13:11What's your secret?
13:13I just find it in places other people don't look.
13:19Whoa, that is 12 ounces.
13:24Okay, so that is, uh...
13:29That's $249.
13:32Whew.
13:34Well...
13:36There you go.
13:38Some didn't get all the luck.
13:40Some didn't create their own, Miss Hattie.
13:42There you are.
13:59There you go.
14:08You are working.
14:09This is near where Titmose is linked.
14:12Who?
14:13There's a fella who's gonna sell me his property.
14:18How big are you trying to grow your ranch?
14:21I'll let you know when I get there.
14:48I'll let you know when I get there.
15:03Just wait.
15:13Stop.
15:17Look, there's...
15:19There's three holes.
15:25Looks like he's marking the spawn.
15:28The question is why.
15:41One, two, three, four...
15:53Sorry, Clayton.
15:55I can see you're busy.
15:58I'm looking for Nash.
16:00Yeah, he's out in the barn.
16:02I was just...
16:04I can see.
16:06Is this for the party tomorrow night?
16:08Yeah.
16:11May I?
16:13No.
16:15One, two, three.
16:17One, two, three.
16:21You're good at building things,
16:22so think about it like building a box with your feet.
16:26Like this.
16:31Good.
16:36I think you've got it.
16:39Whoever you dance with is gonna be a very lucky lady.
16:49He wouldn't have left those stones as markers if he wasn't planning on coming back.
16:53Well, if he does come back tomorrow, it'll be my land.
17:01Hey.
17:05Look, uh...
17:06I'm sorry we didn't find your ring.
17:08It's, um...
17:09I'm not gonna give up.
17:13You never do.
17:14No.
17:21Tom.
17:25Huh?
17:28I don't know how to move on without letting go of the past.
17:34And I don't know how to let go.
17:41Tim.
17:45I understand.
17:54Tell you what.
17:58Let the constable take it from here.
18:01Shall we?
18:04Absolutely.
18:13You lost, Rancher?
18:17I saw you at the boarding house.
18:20What about it?
18:21What's your name?
18:22Who's asking?
18:25Tom Moore.
18:26Pete Dowd.
18:28Well, Pete Dowd,
18:29you want the name of everyone that was with you.
18:46Mr. Maxwell?
18:50Mr. Maxwell?
18:52Mr. Maxwell?
18:55Let's go.
19:23Let's go.
19:54I think it started a few days ago.
19:57All right. Thank you.
20:03Whoever took it would probably want to get rid of it quickly.
20:05Anyone hand in a bunch of gold lately?
20:09As a matter of fact, someone did yesterday.
20:14Archie, go out.
20:16Thanks.
20:17Yeah.
20:32Hey! That's my gold!
20:35Get out of there!
20:38Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
20:41Oh!
20:42Oh!
20:58You guys were at the boarding house, right?
21:01Tom.
21:02Thanks for your help.
21:04What are you doing here?
21:05Rebecca had her ring stolen from the boarding house.
21:08A ring?
21:09I thought it was only stolen gold.
21:11Well, it happened yesterday.
21:13All right.
21:14Well, I'll take care of it from here.
21:15All right.
21:16Well, I'm going to keep looking.
21:17Ring means a lot to Rebecca and beyond what it's worth.
21:20She's hurting.
21:22Understood.
21:23Constable!
21:25Somewhere.
21:26He tried to steal my gold.
21:28Where?
21:29In the woods.
21:30He took off on a horse.
21:31Did you get her to look at him?
21:32No.
21:33When he was on a brown quarter horse, he went that way, down the river road.
21:37All right.
21:38I'll go after him.
21:39I'm coming with you.
21:40Yeah.
21:40I figured you'd say that.
21:53Mr. Maxwell, would you join me?
21:59Very well.
22:03How may I help you?
22:05I'm hoping you'll tell me what's in that case.
22:07Mrs. Clarke, that really is none of your concern.
22:09It's my responsibility to make sure that all the boarders here are trustworthy.
22:14Well, I'm not a thief.
22:16If you won't tell me, you can speak with the constable when he comes back.
22:18I have done nothing wrong.
22:20And you can also explain why there are so many X's on this map, Mr. Tidwell's property.
22:27You have been being in my room again.
22:29My room.
22:30My house.
22:32And you're a guest.
22:33What exactly do you want, Mrs. Clarke?
22:35I want to know what's in the case.
22:48Satisfied?
22:52No.
22:57This is shale.
23:00Sandstone.
23:02This right here is ciderite.
23:04A significant combination of minerals.
23:07But not illegal.
23:12So you're obviously not looking for gold.
23:16What are you looking for?
23:24Coal.
23:37You know, my superior told me where there's gold, there's trouble.
23:40That's what I've been saying all along.
23:41This way.
23:43This way.
23:53Small brown quarter.
23:54Could be just someone passing through.
23:59Or maybe not.
24:01What's wrong with them red coats?
24:02Bad guys keep coming from the model way.
24:07How fast is your horse?
24:08Faster through the valley.
24:09We'll see about that.
24:33Whoa, hold it right there.
24:40Jeremiah.
24:49What were you thinking?
24:50Don't move.
24:51Sorry, Tom.
24:53My fiance's parents were going to lose the farm.
24:55They couldn't pay the bank.
24:57I didn't know what else to do.
24:58But I wrote down everything that I took.
25:01Check my pocket.
25:02There's no book in there.
25:10See?
25:14I was going to pay them all back, I swear.
25:17There's nothing here.
25:18What?
25:21Where's Rebecca's ring?
25:23I sold it to the trading post in Jameson yesterday.
25:26And wired the money to my fiance, just like I did with the money I got for the gold nuggets.
25:29Of course.
25:30I thought it was going to be enough, but I was still short.
25:32So I went back today to get a little more.
25:38You're better than this, Jeremiah.
25:42Tom, I've ever loved somebody so much that you would do anything for them.
25:50Look, I don't know how.
25:53And for someday, I'll make amends for this.
25:57You have my word.
26:11So, Magistrate, you got to say this, am I right?
26:15Sure, but I still got to take him to lock up.
26:17Got to follow through with the arrest.
26:18Yeah.
26:20There's something I got to do, too.
26:25Well, don't let me keep you.
26:29All right.
26:31We're going to Jameson.
26:39What are you thinking about?
26:42About everything that we've done?
26:44Yeah.
26:45It hasn't been easy.
26:46The wagon train, going off on our own.
26:48Finding this place and the condition it was in.
26:52But we did it, Mama.
26:54We did it.
26:55I'm so proud of us.
26:58Life isn't easy, but I sure hope it's never that hard again.
27:06With the gold missing, do you think people will still show up?
27:08I do.
27:09Why?
27:11Because when times are hard, people lean on each other.
27:17All right.
27:18Let's have some fun tonight.
27:19Let's.
27:20We deserve it.
27:25We deserve it.
27:30We deserve it.
28:06He's very good.
28:07No.
28:08He's a man with many talents.
28:11The constable's back!
28:19Did you catch him?
28:22Yes.
28:22The thief has been apprehended and is now in custody.
28:27What about my gold?
28:29Unfortunately, by the time we caught him, he had already cashed in all of the loot and
28:34wired the money away.
28:37Who was he?
28:38Well, yours would be my bet.
28:39What's that supposed to mean?
28:42It's Jeremiah Owens.
28:45Jeremiah?
28:46Yeah.
28:48Ha!
28:49Rancher!
28:50Turned prospector.
28:51That's right.
28:51He was both.
28:55But I do have to own the fact that he was a rancher first.
28:59And I just want to say that I've been judging you prospectors for just being prospectors
29:05and that's wrong.
29:08If we want to build this community, we have to judge one another on our actions and our
29:12character.
29:14Not our occupations.
29:21Well said.
29:22To those of you who were robbed, instead of you losing out on your money, Tom Moore has
29:29worked out a deal with me.
29:31Jeremiah is going to go back to work on Tom's ranch.
29:34He's going to use his wages to pay back everything he stole.
29:47I just understand why Jeremiah would do it.
29:50He was desperate.
29:52Sometimes good people do bad things.
29:55Well, it's a real understanding of you.
29:57Just say I'm trying something new.
30:05Uh, Mrs. Clark?
30:08I believe this belongs to you.
30:11Oh, my ring!
30:14How did...
30:15It was recovered from a trading post in Jameson.
30:21You have no idea.
30:22We gotta celebrate!
30:24Yeah, let's gab in more dancing.
30:25Yeah!
30:26Yeah.
30:27Come on!
30:28More music!
30:29I gotta answer to prospectors now.
30:31Let me just for a night.
30:38Hi.
30:54Good evening.
30:56Welcome!
30:57Welcome!
30:57You look beautiful in that dress.
31:03It's a very kind thing you're doing for Jeremiah.
31:08Yeah, I'm lying.
31:10He made a mistake.
31:12Just because he was trying to protect the ones he loves.
31:17I just thought you might want to know that Mr. Maxwell was looking for a coal on Tidwell's property.
31:23Apparently he wants to buy it for a company that employs him.
31:31Oh, whoa.
31:33Mama?
31:33We're running out of punch.
31:35Excuse me.
31:36Excuse me.
31:43I gave it to her.
31:46I gotta ask.
31:47Why don't you want her to know it was you who paid to get her ring back?
31:51Oh, it's just gonna complicate things.
31:52All that matters is she got the ring back.
31:57Okay, thanks.
32:10Look at this.
32:11First time I've seen ranchers and prospectors breaking bread together.
32:14Oh, yeah.
32:17Does it make you want to stay?
32:19I'm just looking for a sign.
32:26Good evening, ladies.
32:29I hope your dance card isn't full.
32:31I reserved a spot for you.
32:47You're a wonderful dancer.
32:49Please.
32:50You're the one who's leading.
32:51No, that's just your imagination.
32:54Well, what's not my imagination is you look lovely tonight.
33:00I'm sure this dress would be horribly outdated in the big city.
33:03No, you fit in just about anywhere.
33:15Um, speaking of which, you'll never guess what happened.
33:18I was accepted into the Ontario School of Art.
33:21Oh, really?
33:24I just haven't decided whether or not to go yet.
33:29You've gotta go.
33:31You really think so?
33:33You've had your sights set on the big city for a long time.
33:37This is your chance.
33:38It might mean me never coming back.
33:45That's your choice.
33:50There's my sign.
33:55I, um...
33:55Mind if I cut it?
34:06Why don't you look fancy?
34:08Why, thank you.
34:09You look real nice.
34:10Well, thank you.
34:12I'm impressed.
34:15It's quite interesting, huh?
34:17It is.
34:18The settlement's really starting to turn into a community.
34:22I'm gonna miss everyone here.
34:24What do you mean?
34:26Oh, I haven't had a chance to tell you yet.
34:29Tell me what?
34:30I'm, uh...
34:31I'm going away to art school.
34:34In Toronto.
34:37No, you can't go.
34:38Sorry?
34:40Or, I mean...
34:43If you do, just...
34:45Please come back.
34:49You just heard this place was really starting to come together.
34:52Well, I don't think you realize this.
34:53You're the best part of that, Olivia.
34:58You're the beauty.
35:00The grace.
35:03That big city's always gonna be there, but this settlement...
35:07You're helping build it day by day.
35:10I can't imagine what it would be like with you all.
35:14I know that might not be right for me to say, but...
35:17If I did, then I'd regret it for the rest of my life.
35:25You're Rebecca Clark, aren't you?
35:27Yes.
35:28Well, you are Tidwell.
35:29Ah, how do you do?
35:30Mind if I'm part of your drawing here?
35:32Thank you very much.
35:33You're the man that Tom Moore's buying land from, hmm?
35:35He was.
35:36Not anymore.
35:38Oh.
35:39What happened?
35:40He just told me he's a little short on cash.
35:43Fortunately for me, I have a couple other interested buyers.
35:45I just sold it to one of them.
35:47Congratulations.
35:48How more short on cash?
35:50Which frankly surprised me since yesterday.
35:53He told me he had the money.
35:55I don't know what changed between now and then.
35:57You know, I'd have to get back to my life.
35:59Enjoy yourselves.
36:07I appreciated that speech.
36:10I meant to dwell.
36:13Hey, you remember what I said to you the first time we met?
36:16One day, I was going to buy up this whole territory.
36:21Well...
36:23I just bought Leroy Tidwell's property.
36:27You did?
36:28I did.
36:32Neighbor.
36:56Will you dance with me?
36:59It'd be my pleasure.
37:09You did it.
37:10To the impossible.
37:12You did.
37:14Proved you wrong, huh?
37:17I have a feeling you get some joy out of that.
37:20Tell me a little.
37:35Did you give up Leroy Tidwell's land?
37:39For me?
37:44I'm just happy your ring is back where it belongs.
37:51I won't always keep it.
37:54I'll pass around to Sarah.
37:57I just...
37:58I need to hold onto it for a little while longer.
38:01No.
38:03You give it up when you're ready.
38:28Hey, there's another one of you.
38:30What?
38:34Nick!
38:35What are you doing here?
38:36Here's your business.
38:38Come to inform you that there's a thief in your settlement?
38:40Yes.
38:41Jeremiah Owens.
38:41Already arrested him this afternoon.
38:43He's in a lock-up in Jameson.
38:44I'm not talking about him.
38:57Uh, wait.

39:04Uh, wait.
