00:04The Land of Opportunity
00:05They call it the Land of Opportunity.
00:07The journey you're about to begin will take courage and every ounce of perseverance you can muster.
00:14Where you are going, there will be unbounded horizons and endless adventures.
00:20This life is not for the faint of heart.
00:25Along with its unbridled promises come immense challenges.
00:29All sorts will be arriving into this vast territory, seeking the freedom of the frontier.
00:38Some to strike it rich, others holding on to the hope of a brighter future.
00:45Alone, you will be called upon to be the law in a place where currently there is none.
00:52You 300, the first graduating class of the Northwest Mounted Police Force, will need consummate skills in diplomacy.
01:01The powers granted you will extend to all aspects of government jurisdiction.
01:06But make no mistake gentlemen, your primary job is to keep the peace.
01:10So go out there. Pave the way for these settlements.
01:14But always remember, that in a world of right and wrong, uphold what is right.
01:24So go on down without a doubt, get lost from the compound, get lost from the pyramid, get lost from
01:26the mud.
01:26LittleISH CONSTANT.
01:27You are sure you're the most I see.
01:30More Entscheid these опять things can work better, get lost from the tidings if I can afford you.
01:38Oh, whoa!
01:41What was that?
01:43I don't know.
01:46Hang on, buddy.
01:48Hang on.
02:14Can you fix it?
02:16No, there's no fixing that.
02:24We're gonna have to leave the wagon behind.
02:30But what about all of our things?
02:39I'm here.
02:45I know it's been hard, Sarah.
02:53We've come too far to let anything stop us now.
02:57Everything's gonna be okay.
02:59Okay.
03:01Promise to pieces.
03:03Promise.
03:05Okay.
03:09Okay, boy.
03:18Oh, no.
03:19I left me there in the wagon.
03:20Yeah.
03:21Papa bought me that door.
03:24Whoa.
03:26Whoa.
03:27We can go back for it.
03:30No.
03:31We should keep going.
03:33Sir?
03:37I miss him too.
03:43Whoa.
03:44Whoa.
03:54What are you thinking, Mama?
04:12Ready?
04:14Yeah.
04:15Okay.
04:16All right.
04:17Okay.
04:18Three, two, one.
04:20Now.
04:21Keep going.
04:21Push harder.
04:22Push, push, push.
04:24Yes.
04:26Hold it.
04:26Hold it.
04:27Okay.
04:27You got this.
04:30Almost there.
04:33Okay.
04:34Ready?
04:35One, two, three, two, one.
04:38Oh!
04:40Come here.
04:42Well done, my love.
04:44Oh, my gosh.
04:51How long now?
04:55Shouldn't be more than a couple of days.
04:59Can I see it again?
05:05Will our room be upstairs?
05:07No.
05:07It'll be downstairs, right there by the kitchen where it's warm.
05:10And then we have a whole parlor to ourselves and a big old armchair that you can curl up in
05:14and read your books just like you used to.
05:20Think we'll ever go back?
05:24I don't know.
05:27Hmm.
05:27Hmm.
05:30All right.
05:31Let's load her back up.
05:39There we go.
05:41Oh, whoa.
05:45Whoa.
05:47Whoa.
05:51We're in gold country.
05:53What's that mean?
05:55It means we'll be there soon.
05:58Maybe we can find some gold, too.
05:59Nope.
06:00We're just stopping for water for patches.
06:01We'll be on our way.
06:03We can only the canteens.
06:05Thank you, sweetie.
06:07Good girl.
06:08Good girl.
06:09Let's go, Squadron.
06:27Come on.
06:38Yes
06:38Hmm!
06:38We too.
06:39Thank you two and theренades actually on the way around the computer.
06:41What are you doing supplying these locusts?
06:44Trying to make a living, Tom. What would you have me do?
06:46Anything else.
06:48Breeding wolves would be less harmful to my ranch.
06:55Okay, got it.
07:01Whoa!
07:02Whoa, whoa! That's it!
07:05Whoa!
07:05Whoa!
07:07I got it! I got it!
07:08Sarah!
07:10I gotcha!
07:12Mama!
07:14Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
07:16No!
07:17Come on.
07:18All right.
07:19You're okay.
07:21Sarah!
07:23You okay?
07:25Yeah, I think so, Mama.
07:28Oh!
07:29Oh, gosh.
07:32You saved my little girl.
07:37Yeah.
07:42What an adventure, huh?
07:44Yeah.
07:45I can't thank you enough.
07:47It's nothing.
07:48You okay?
07:49Yeah.
07:50Are you okay?
07:51Yes, thank you.
07:52Howdy, what was that? Gunpowder?
07:54Dynamite.
07:55Some of the prospects are taken to using it to get to the gold.
07:58You see who set it off?
08:00Yeah.
08:00A fellow back there.
08:03Name's Doyle.
08:06Excuse me, ladies.
08:12Doyle.
08:13No more of this dynamite, hear?
08:15You're spooking the horses.
08:17Well, this ain't your stream.
08:18But who are you to tell me what to do?
08:20Well, I was here before you, and I'll be here long after you're gone.
08:24Don't count on it.
08:25When I strike your ridge, I'm gonna buy out this whole territory.
08:31Consider this your warning.
08:35Okay.
08:40Looks like you've hurt your hand.
08:41I can help you.
08:42No, no, I'm fine.
08:44Yeah, well, this wheel here is not.
08:46Mom and I put it on ourselves.
08:47Well, we did a good job.
08:49But Hattie's right.
08:50The wheel's definitely sharp.
08:52Well, Tom's got a blacksmith that can help fix that.
08:55Yeah.
08:56Are you gonna offer us services, or what?
08:58Yeah, yeah, no, I can...
08:59It's all right.
09:00We've gotta be on our way, so I can try and...
09:02Hopefully not on this wheel.
09:03So, why don't you guys load up, and I'll drive if you don't mind, since...
09:07I know how to avoid the rockier parts.
09:11Get on.
09:24Congratulations.
09:25Commissioner French.
09:27Oh.
09:29Constable Vaughn, isn't it?
09:31That's right, sir.
09:32That's your way to top in the class.
09:33Well done.
09:35Well, now the accolades are over, and the real work begins.
09:38I understand you've been assigned to gold country.
09:41Yes, sir.
09:43Well, from my experience, where there's gold, there's trouble.
09:49Understood.
09:49You too.
09:50Make us proud, son.
10:08Here's Sarah.
10:10Rebecca.
10:12Tom Wong.
10:14What is this place called?
10:16I call it home, but you're not gonna find it on the map.
10:20I heard you say you've been here a while.
10:22I've been here a few years.
10:24Truly God's country.
10:26Lots of room for me to expand my herd.
10:29It won't be for long until the prospect goes down the way.
10:35Is there a trading post around here?
10:36I think we'll need some supplies before we move on.
10:39You met the woman who runs it.
10:42Oh.
10:44Where are you headed?
10:46West.
10:47We bought the...
10:52Where are you coming from?
10:54Back east.
10:55We broke off a wagon train in the Dakota Territory.
10:58The Dakota Territory?
10:59You've come a long way.
11:01We've managed.
11:03My mama can do anything she sets her mind to.
11:06I believe it.
11:08Still, traveling along across the frontier.
11:11We've got some gumption.
11:12I'll take that as a compliment.
11:15You can take that however you like.
11:45Clayton.
11:46Prospector set off an explosion down near the stream.
11:49Spooked this woman's horse.
11:50Do you think you can fix it?
11:51Well, Clayton can fix just about anything.
11:53Wonderful.
11:55How long will that take?
11:56The axle shot.
11:58Depends if the trade post says the supplies I need or not.
12:02Peggy.
12:02This is Rebecca.
12:03Sarah.
12:04They give you a hot meal.
12:06Peggy cooks for me.
12:07You're in luck.
12:07We're having a cookout tonight.
12:09You should join us.
12:10In addition to being my foreman, Nash here is also a mean fiddle player.
12:14We've been in enough trouble today.
12:15Thank you, though.
12:18Do you want to come play with us?
12:21I have to help my mother.
12:27Pleasure.
12:29You want to check on your horse here and make sure it's not hurt?
12:31Oh, it's alright.
12:32I can check on Patches.
12:33I've been doing it for three months.
12:35Alright, well, I've been doing it for three decades.
12:39We'll just make sure.
12:47Aren't you coming?
12:49I'll stay and watch our things.
12:51Alright.
12:53Call out if you need me.
12:54I won't be far.
13:06What do you think?
13:08I think you'll be just fine.
13:11That hand really needs tending to.
13:13Well, I'm fine.
13:15I've seen wounds like that out on the battlefield.
13:16They almost always end up infected.
13:19The battlefield?
13:20My husband was a doctor during the war.
13:24I helped him out sometimes.
13:28Where's your husband?
13:30He passed recently.
13:36My condolences.
13:42You must have seen some things during the war.
13:46Yeah.
13:51Look, Rebecca.
13:53You got some grit.
13:55I'll give you that.
13:57The grit alone isn't going to save you out of the frontier.
14:01And what will?
14:03You got all sorts of wild animals to look out for.
14:07Not to mention you got outlaws, whiskey traders, cattle wrestlers.
14:10It's a whole assortment of bad.
14:12Well, believe me.
14:13The frontier doesn't hold the monopoly on bad people.
14:17Don't get me wrong.
14:18There's more good than bad out here.
14:20I'm getting that sense.
14:22And, as much as I hate to ask, it seems we'll be delayed.
14:25I would be much obliged if we could camp on your land tonight.
14:28You could be my guest.
14:31Listen, I got extra rooms in my house.
14:35No, thank you. We'll be fine.
14:38You will.
14:57How good are we looking here, Clay?
14:59We're getting there.
15:01It's just lucky this wheel lasted as long as it did.
15:05The fear is a lot more than luck to come as far as she did.
15:14You got to wonder what brought them at you, though, huh?
15:16Woman and a girl?
15:18All alone?
15:24I'm sure they got their reasons.
15:43The work today.
15:45That's not...you're welcome.
15:48There you are.
15:56I'm sorry I almost mentioned the boarding house.
15:58Oh. It's all right, sweetheart.
16:02It's only better until we get where we're going that we just keep some details to ourselves.
16:08And safety.
16:11Because we need to be where they can't find us.
16:15Exactly.
16:22You love hopscotch. Why don't you go join them?
16:25That's okay.
16:27They look friendly.
16:29I'm tired and we still need to clean up.
16:36I know it's been a really long journey.
16:40But we'll be there soon.
16:42We can start living our dream.
17:06We can start living our dream.
17:11Yes.
17:15Yeah, sorry. I should have warned you about them.
17:20Oh, here you go, sweetie. It's a milk.
17:25You're welcome.
17:26Oh.
17:27Oh, your hand is really getting infected.
17:29You should let me treat that.
17:31That's not necessary.
17:32It absolutely is.
17:34I'll meet you back at your house.
17:47Your husband teach you this?
17:49My mother, actually.
17:50This is made of white oak.
17:52It'll prevent infection.
17:53Seems like a lot of fuss for a little cut.
17:55My husband had a patient once who refused treatment to his big toe.
17:59Because he thought it was a lot of fuss.
18:02I bet he survived.
18:04He did.
18:05He's now known as Three-Towed Joe.
18:06There you go.
18:17This will sting a little.
18:19Please.
18:22More than a little.
18:23That means it's working.
18:25It's working real hard, though.
18:33You've built a beautiful ranch here.
18:41What about you?
18:44What about me?
18:47You seem like city folk.
18:52But a culture of quality about you.
19:01You got another visitor.
19:03Howdy.
19:04I was just about to pay you a visit.
19:07I was in the area, so I thought I'd save you trouble.
19:10In the area, huh?
19:14Looks like a mighty fine job you've done in his hand there.
19:17Oh, thank you.
19:18At least I could do after he saved my daughter and my horse.
19:22Rebecca's got some medical experience.
19:25Huh.
19:26So what do I owe you?
19:28Uh, $23.
19:31You know, I don't recall Frank ever paying me a visit, ledger in hand.
19:35Yeah, well, Frank was a lot of things, but a good businessman wasn't my love.
19:41Howdy, I may need to stop by the trading post and pick up some supplies once my wagon is fixed.
19:46Okay, Tom can point you the way.
19:48Okay.
19:55I like her.
19:57She's overcome a lot.
20:00Her husband died sometime back.
20:10Patty!
20:12I just wanted to thank you for speaking up yesterday about the blacksmith.
20:16I'm really not sure Mr. Moore would have helped if you hadn't.
20:19Tom's a decent man, but sometimes he just needs to be pointed in the right direction.
20:24Other times he needs a gentle push.
20:27I...
20:28I hear you're a widow.
20:31You heard right.
20:35I recently lost my husband.
20:39I'm sorry.
20:42Kinda throws you for a loop, doesn't it?
20:45It certainly does.
20:49Good day.
20:55Rebecca?
20:56Oh, hi.
20:57Where's Sarah?
20:58Sarah's in the tent.
20:59I think she's had enough of the trail for the day.
21:02You can leave her with me anytime.
21:04She's safe with me.
21:05I've got two of my own.
21:06Three if you can't match.
21:09Thank you, Peggy.
21:18Oh, hello.
21:19Have you seen Clayton?
21:20I just was wondering when the wagon's going to be ready.
21:22I mentioned it'll be done in one other day or two.
21:25Alright.
21:26Listen, you be careful out there and let me know if there's anything you need before you go.
21:31Thank you. How about directions? Where we're going is about 15 miles northwest of Buxton.
21:35Buxton?
21:36What's close to here?
21:37What's close to here?
21:37What's there?
21:45This.
21:47I bought it.
21:53Why would you go and do something like that?
21:59No.
22:00This can't be right.
22:02Well, we're 15 miles northwest of Buxton.
22:07Who bears a passing resemblance?
22:14You've been swindled.
22:22People say this building was going to be a bunkhouse, but the rancher couldn't make a go of it.
22:27Long before I got here.
22:30When last year some fella arrived saying he won this property in a card game.
22:33He was going to turn it into a boarding house.
22:37A couple months ago he left, and I'm assuming that was right after you wired him the money.
22:41You don't have to stay, you know.
22:44What?
22:46It was a foolish notion from the get-go.
22:47There's nobody around here wants a boarding house.
22:49You're better off without it.
22:50I'm better off?
22:54Yeah.
22:56See what I'm saying?
22:57The last thing we need is someone giving those locusts comfort.
23:07I've got to go take care of something.
23:15Cullen?
23:17No, I'll find my own way back, thank you.
23:34Howdy.
23:34I need you to stop selling dynamite to these prospectors.
23:37No can do, Tom.
23:39I'm in the business of selling.
23:41Then I'll make it with you a while.
23:43Oh, now you got my attention.
23:44Four dollars.
23:46And just like that you lost it.
23:48Okay, how much?
23:50Five dollars.
23:52Five dollars?
23:54A month.
23:55A month?
23:56Yes, there's good money to be made from selling it.
24:00Listen, Tom.
24:02I saw you and Rebecca talking outside the old ramshackle.
24:05What was that about?
24:37Oh!
24:46Oh!
24:50I just heard.
24:52It's embarrassing.
24:53No, no, no, no.
24:54It's not the end of the world.
24:55Well, if it isn't, I would hate to see what is.
24:59I had a big dream of moving to the great Northwest.
25:07Our journey here was hard.
25:11It was so much harder than I thought it was going to be.
25:16And you know what kept us going the whole time was talking about what life was going to be like
25:20in our new boarding house.
25:25The Northwest and the boarding house became one big dream for me and Sarah.
25:32In my experience, dreams are only good for breaking your heart.
25:39I really don't know what I'm going to do.
25:41Do you have any family near here?
25:45How far are you from home?
25:49Too... too far.
25:53And I can't, I can't go back.
25:55Why not?
25:59Where I come from, people with money can take whatever they want and it's not safe for Sarah and me.
26:10Well, I'm not sure how much safer it is here.
26:13I mean, we get all sorts.
26:29There's a place called Union City a few days away.
26:31You could probably get work there.
26:34Doing what?
26:34Wow.
26:35You got medical experience, don't you?
26:38Not enough.
26:39Then maybe you could pitch a tent and try your luck painting for gold.
26:45Well, you never know.
26:46Howdy, Hattie.
26:47Lars!
26:49How are you holding up, Rachel?
26:50I'm fine. Baby's not due for another month.
26:52What can I do for you?
26:55We were wondering what we could get for this watch. It's in working order.
26:58Oh yeah, I could see that.
27:01I can give you $7.
27:03We were hoping for more.
27:06Our provisions are running low.
27:09I'll throw in a pound of bacon, two pounds of flour, and a sack of beans.
27:15We'll take it.
27:17Let's go get your payments. I'll be right with you.
27:20Rebecca.
27:23The fellow who sold you this was no good.
27:26But from a selfish perspective, I thought the boarding house was a good idea.
27:30It'd bring in more business.
27:33Except it was never anything more than that. An idea.
27:46How was your time with Peggy's children today?
27:49I just read my book.
27:51Why didn't you try and make friends?
27:53Because we don't know who we can trust anymore.
27:57Right, Mama?
28:02Come here. Come on.
28:07What about you?
28:10Don't worry about me.
28:12How was your day?
28:15Fine.
28:17There's nothing fine about this weather.
28:23Do me a favor.
28:26Take these.
28:28Come with me.
28:33I'll get any dryer out.
28:37As long as it's a favor.
28:51How's your daughter doing?
28:53Sleeping soundly.
28:56It's probably been a while since she slept on a real mattress.
29:01Did you tell her about the boarding house?
29:05No.
29:07Feel so foolish.
29:09No.
29:10I get the sense you're nobody's fool.
29:14I bought something that doesn't exist.
29:18I figured it was a decision made in haste, with a certain measure of desperation.
29:26Guess I'll never see that many again.
29:31There's no law out here.
29:42But I get the feeling you already knew that.
29:59she doesn't have a mama unfortunately not she seems pretty hungry well she doesn't lack for
30:04appetite i could use a little break you want to help me out here i don't know how i'll show

34:07Ned Yost is a fine sounding name.
34:13He's gonna make someone love himself.
34:39Let's let them sleep a little while longer.
34:59So what are you gonna do?
35:02I don't know.
35:06I've had my share of setbacks in life.
35:08You know what keeps me going?
35:12My daughter.
35:14I figure to raise a strong woman, I gotta be one myself.
35:21I need to clear my head.
35:23No, you go on.
35:24We'll look after Sarah.
35:42Thank you so much.
35:46Whoa.
35:47Whoa!
35:47Whoa.
35:48Whoa!
36:06Oh, come on.
36:18Rebecca!
36:23What are you doing here?
36:27You were out all night.
36:31I delivered a baby to the prospector's camp.
36:36I remember a dull moment with you, right?
36:40Where's Sarah?
36:42To sleep at the trading post.
36:45Were you worried about us?
36:48No, I was just curious.
36:54You said this is a hard life.
36:57It certainly is.
37:01It's so beautiful though.
37:05A land of new beginnings.
37:08What are you thinking?
37:10I'm thinking that of all the choices I could make,
37:15the only one that matters is what's best for Sarah.
37:25Good morning.
37:46Mama!
37:49There you are, sleepyhead.
37:52What are you doing?
37:53I'm just thinking about which window should be ours.
37:57Ours?
37:58When we're staying?
38:02Everything that we've dreamed about, we can still have.
38:05Really?
38:08This is going to be a bigger job than the wheel.
38:11It is.
38:12We can do it.
38:16Rebecca!
38:18Yeah, she said Tom was worried about you so we came looking.
38:22We're alright.
38:23Thanks for checking.
38:25Alright.
38:26Wanna go play?
38:27Alright then.
38:31Ready to get to work?
38:33Ready.
38:34Well, first thing that I need you to do,
38:37is go over there,
38:39see if you can play with those kids.
38:43I wanna help you.
38:44I know, I know.
38:45We take care of each other, right?
38:47Yeah.
38:47This is me taking care of you.
38:49Please.
38:51Mama, I...
38:52You need this.
38:53Go.
38:58Why don't you take a turn?
39:02There we go.
39:19For all the help that you've offered us,
39:21I'll be by to pick up my wagon soon.
39:24Sometimes you have to cut your losses and move on.
39:27Who said anything about moving on?
39:28I came to open a boarding house,
39:30and that's what I intend to do.
39:32This ain't no boarding house.
39:34It will be.
39:36Like you said,
39:37prospectors are coming more and more every day.
39:39They will leave as soon as the ghouls go.
39:42I'm betting they won't.
39:44With all due respect,
39:45you're making a big mistake.
39:47You know, change is here, Mr. Moore,
39:49whether you like it or not.
39:51I'm fine with change.
39:52As long as it doesn't affect me,
39:54its territory,
39:55my ranch.
39:57I hope you hold onto your hat.
40:00I'll go.
40:01Hey, you! Rancher!
40:03What's the problem?
40:04You can't tell Hattie not to sell me dynamite.
40:07Well, turns out I can.
40:09You're bound to hurt somebody.
40:11The only person getting hurt here is you.
40:13Hey! Come on down!
40:16There are women and children here.
40:18Be careful.
40:22Hey!
40:23That's enough!
40:24It's my land.
40:26Hey!
40:28That's enough.
40:31Who are you?
40:33I'm Constable Alexander Vaughn,
40:34a member of the new police force.
40:37Police force?
40:40The Northwest Mounted Police.
40:43Never heard of you.
40:45Well, now you have.
40:47Out here, ranchers take care of their own business.
40:50Troublemakers included.
40:52Not anymore.
40:54I represent the law,
40:55and no one's above it.
41:03This season on Hope Valley 1874.
41:06You the one who bought that wreck?
41:07It's a boarding house.
41:08It seems like everywhere I turn, something else is falling down.
41:11You're not going to let little thing like money stop there, are you?
41:13I'm going to see this through.
41:15Well, I guess that puts us on opposite sides.
41:17Do there have to be sides?
41:18It's going to be beautiful.
41:20The government are going to publish sketches of the frontier.
41:23They're looking for drawings that capture the promise and romance of what's out here.
41:28If someday you have the chance to do something bigger with your life, you should jump at it.
41:34Are we really safe now, Mama?
41:36Yes, we are.
41:37I think we finally are.
41:39Folks have been finding gold in this new stream.
41:41Get off my land!
41:42Who says it's your land?
41:43More gold means more criminals.
41:44Run!
41:45Sarah!
41:47I just thought this far out west, no one would ever find us.
41:50You brought her across the frontier and you built a home on nothing.
41:55You are no shortage of courage, Rebecca Clark.
41:57Same to you, Mr. Moore.
