00:12To be continued...
00:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:25Hold up, boys.
01:27They ain't worth it, boss.
01:32Let's go back.
01:45Looks like they gave up.
01:46I'm getting real tired of this thing.
01:48Yeah, they were plenty mad when I beat the big boy in arm wrestling.
01:51And one day that temper in that big mouth of yours can get you in deep trouble.
01:54Haven't made the trouble I can't get out of.
01:55I've run these horses long enough.
01:57Set up camp at a mile or two.
02:12One dozen eggs, fresh as they come.
02:17Thank you, Mrs. Evans.
02:33Hello, Ellen.
02:34Sheriff Holden.
02:35What brings you out here?
02:37Making my rounds.
02:38Thought I'd look in on you and Cassie.
02:40We're fine.
02:41Would you like some cool water?
02:43No, I still got ground to cover.
02:46Looks like some repairs are in order.
02:47We'll get to them.
02:49I still don't need any hard help.
02:51Good enough.
02:51Your visits are always welcome.
02:53Elbow's been throbbing some.
02:55Looks like a storm's blowing in.
02:58Really?
02:59It's awfully sunny, Sheriff.
03:01Elbow never lies.
03:02Could be a doozy.
03:04I'd batten down the hatches.
03:06Yeah.
03:07Yeah.
03:18So what are you cooking up for supper?
03:20There's plenty of game around here.
03:22Why don't you get off your duff and go check the menu?
03:24California hills are filled with gold.
03:26When we hit our big strike, I'm gonna take my gold up to Oregon.
03:30Buy myself a ranch the size of Delaware.
03:33Huh?
03:34Found me a pretty little wife.
03:36Found a family.
03:38What about you?
03:40I'll catch one of them steamers out of San Francisco.
03:43Head on up to China.
03:44China?
03:46What's in China?
03:47I always wanna see that great big wall of theirs.
03:50After that, who knows?
03:54You can go hunting or I gotta do everything.
03:56Yeah, you sound like my ma.
03:58Best we built a shelter.
03:59You're always looking after me.
04:01Like a mother hen.
04:02Yeah, well somebody got to.
04:05You do what you want.
04:07I'll be fine sleeping under the stars.
04:09And when we strike a bitch, I'm gonna have a butler bring on my food for me.
04:17Cassie?
04:24Cassie!
04:31Cassie!
04:31Cassie!
04:32Cassie!
04:32Ellen, I'm over here!
04:38Where were you?
04:39You're supposed to be waiting in the garden.
04:41Don't be in a huff.
04:42I finished up in the garden and I went and put flowers on Ma and Pa's graves.
04:48And I know it sounds silly, but I stayed and talked to them for a while.
04:53Lost track of time.
04:55It's not silly.
04:56I talk to them too.
04:58You do?
04:58Of course I do.
05:00Looks like there's a storm coming.
05:05We best gather the laundry and get the livestock in the barn.
05:25How's it look out there?
05:27What?
05:29Windy.
05:30Very windy.
05:32It's a terrible storm.
05:33I know that.
05:35What I meant was, is the barn holding up?
05:37It's holding its ground.
05:40How can you just sit there calmly sewing when the world outside is falling apart?
05:45I promise Mrs. Banks I get the skirt to her by tomorrow.
05:49What if it's still raining?
05:51Finish drying the dishes.
05:52It'll get your mind off of things.
06:03Cassie, you best sweep that up.
06:05I'm sorry.
06:06I'll be more careful.
06:08The thunder startled me.
06:24The garden is a mess, but we can salvage the tomatoes and squash.
06:29It'll take some time to get it back in shape.
06:32It's a good thing you put the livestock in the barn last night.
06:35Well, at least only the chickens got out.
06:37Where do we start?
06:39We'll feed in the barn, gather the chickens, then we can go into town so I can get paid on
06:43my work for Mrs. Banks' skirt.
06:45What about putting this place back in order?
06:47First things first.
06:49We can go into town and get some new fence posts with the hardware.
06:52At least I could stay and start cleaning up the garden.
06:55Cassie, you're coming with me.
06:57Ellen, you are my sister, not my mother.
07:00And?
07:02It's not nice for big sisters to order their little sisters around.
07:07All right, Cassie.
07:09Would you care to accompany me to town today?
07:12I would love to.
07:15Can we get some apple pie at Millie's?
07:17When we're finished taking care of business.
07:20Cassie Barlow, you can be one stubborn young lady.
07:23I am your sister.
07:26I'll gather the chickens.
07:28to go with this.
07:50Who's going?
08:04Well, that's the last one.
08:06Now can we go to Millie's?
08:08Well, I guess he earned it.
08:13Come on, let's go get some apple pie.
08:21Ellen?
08:22Cassie, not used to seeing you two days in a row.
08:25Well, Sheriff, it looks like your elbow is right again.
08:27Well, my elbow never fails me when it comes to a storm.
08:30How'd your place weather it?
08:31It did considerable damage.
08:33Maybe now you'd be looking for a hired man.
08:36I could use some help around the place.
08:37I could pay a proper wage.
08:39You've been needing some help for some time now.
08:41I suppose so.
08:43Trouble is, all the able-bodied men got gold fever and took off for California.
08:47And I'll have to remind you of that.
08:50Sorry.
08:52Didn't mean to open up an old wound about Jake.
08:55That wound is long-heeled.
08:57Well, I'll certainly keep my eyes and ears open.
09:00I appreciate it.
09:02My pleasure.
09:02I'll see you in the next one.
09:09I'll see you in the next one.
09:11I'll see you in the next one.
09:14I'll see you in the next one.
09:15I'll see you in the next one.
09:17I'll see you in the next one.
09:18Bye-bye.
09:18Bye-bye.
09:18Bye-bye.
09:18Bye-bye.
09:19Bye-bye.
09:19Bye-bye.
09:20Bye-bye.
09:23Bye-bye.
09:24Bye-bye.
09:25Bye-bye.
09:26Bye-bye.
09:30Bye-bye.
09:31Come on, let's go to the crowd by good party.
09:43Millie's Cafe, home-style cooking.
09:46Sounds good to me.
09:49Ladies, good day.
09:53We're here to eat, no trouble.
09:56You ladies like anything else?
09:58No, thank you, Millie.
10:03Where's Rose?
10:04Oh, she just ran out to get some flowers.
10:05She should be back any time.
10:07Millie, I want to catch up on the town gossip.
10:09Do you have a time to sit down?
10:11As soon as Rose gets back to mind the store.
10:21Ladies?
10:25Well, Trinity sure has some good-looking women, folk.
10:34Is there something I can get you, young man?
10:36A hot meal.
10:37A good hot meal.
10:39We've been traveling a long time.
10:40I've been doing most of the cooking.
10:42Cassie, quit staring.
10:43It's not polite.
10:45Well, the special today is chicken and dumplings.
10:47Sounds real good.
10:48Yeah, I'll take two orders.
10:50All right, three orders of the special.
10:52Anything to drink?
10:53Water.
10:53Fine, thank you.
10:55All right.
11:00Well, this sure seems like a real quiet town.
11:05I hate to be stuck here.
11:07Well, a lot of people like living like that.
11:09Yeah, well, not me.
11:10Excitement's what I crave.
11:13Ladies, good day to you.
11:16I don't mean to be rude.
11:18My name is Daniel Whitaker.
11:19Well, what are your names?
11:25Ladies, well, don't that just say it all, hmm?
11:28I'm being real nice, and these ladies are being rude.
11:31How about we just eat and get out of here?
11:34You know, I'm being real friendly-like to you women,
11:36and I can't even get a simple hello in return.
11:38Hello.
11:40Excuse me?
11:41You said you wanted a hello.
11:43Gave you one.
11:43I wanted it from these ladies.
11:45Well, it seems they don't want conversation with you.
11:47Well, you two ought to mind your own business.
11:54Now, ladies, you don't have to go nowhere.
11:57Daniel, we ain't looking for no trouble.
11:59No, we're not.
12:00It seems like these two boys are.
12:02No, we ain't looking for trouble.
12:03But if you insist, we can step outside.
12:07Look at it this way.
12:08Walk away now, and you don't get hurt.
12:12John, Samuel, what is going on?
12:14What's it gonna be?
12:15The streets?
12:16Or walk away?
12:26Stop it!
12:35Stop it!
12:36You listen to me!
12:36I said stop it!
12:38Stop it!
12:42I got the flower!
12:58Get off!
13:01I will shoot the man, throws the next punch!
13:09As a matter of fact, this little scattershot ain't too choosy.
13:12She might just get all of you.
13:14Put your hands up and sit down.
13:16But Sheriff, these two...
13:17I said sit.
13:26Millicent!
13:31I can know what happened here.
13:33Well, I was in the kitchen.
13:34Ellen came to get me and came out just as fight started.
13:40Let's get this sorted out, boys.
13:56Step inside, gentlemen.
14:03Our horses are tied up on the street.
14:06Don't go fretting about your horses.
14:08I'll see the end of the stables.
14:10Of course, it'll cost you for board.
14:14Pick a bunk.
14:19I'm not sure how this is real fair, Sheriff.
14:21Those two boys are just as guilty as we were.
14:23Witnesses say your friend here threw the first punch.
14:25Well, they provoked me.
14:26Is that all you have to say?
14:29What about you?
14:30What do you got to say for yourself?
14:31I never did get a chance to eat.
14:33Low hunger.
14:34I'll order you up some food for Millie's.
14:38If she'll feed you after what happened.
14:41Much obliged, Sheriff.
14:54Never did get a chance to eat.
14:57That's all you got to say?
14:58We just got railroaded.
15:02You caused this again.
15:05And you know it.
15:10Next big wind and this is coming down.
15:13That's why we'll have to get the newest post in before then.
15:16You and me aren't so good at digging post holes.
15:19We'll learn.
15:20Grab the hammer and nails.
15:21We'll get the plank up so we can get the horses back in the corral.
15:24Why did God bring such a terrible storm on us?
15:28Pa used to say the good Lord and the devil got credit for things they had nothing to do with.
15:34Sometimes things just happen.
15:36Natural course of events.
15:38Sometimes it's all so confounding.
15:40That's why we have to have the faith of a child.
15:48Sure was exciting at Millie's today.
15:50I guess you could call it that.
15:52What else would you call it?
15:53Rude and rude behavior.
15:58Let's get the plank up.
16:18Hello, Rose.
16:19Hello, Sheriff.
16:21Mom made this for the prisoners.
16:23Go on in there, harmless.
16:31Hello there, little lady.
16:33You are?
16:34I'm Rose.
16:35I'm Millie's daughter.
16:36Oh.
16:40Smells tasty, Rose.
16:42You know, Mom was mighty mad at you two for wrecking her place.
16:44But she decided to make that up for you anyways.
16:47Said it was the Christian thing to do.
16:49Thank you. We're very grateful.
16:52Thank you, Rose.
16:57Well, one good thing.
16:58Got our chicken and dumplings.
17:00If you boys want some water, you can call the night deputy.
17:03When you're finished with your food, slide the plates under the door.
17:06And I'll see you in the morning.
17:11Hey, Sheriff.
17:13What's gonna happen to us?
17:16Depends.
17:16Depends on what?
17:17You plead guilty.
17:19You pay the assessed damages plus the fine.
17:22What are the damages?
17:22I haven't calculated that yet.
17:24The window's boarded up.
17:25I have no idea how much the new glass and repairs will cost.
17:28Plus a table.
17:30Chair or two.
17:31We're pleading not guilty.
17:32Fine.
17:33When the judge hits town, we'll hold a hearing in the jail.
17:36When the judge hits town?
17:37Yeah.
17:38Circuit judge.
17:39Covers all the counties.
17:40Should be back here in about 30 days.
17:42I ain't staying in this jail for a month.
17:44Well, then you best plead guilty.
17:46Well, that ain't justice.
17:48I don't know what that is, but it sure ain't justice.
17:51We'll plead guilty.
17:53No, we're not.
17:55We'll.
17:57I see you boys need some time to talk it over.
18:00Take the night.
18:08This ain't fair, Clark.
18:10We're not pleading guilty.
18:11He did throw the first punch.
18:13We got about $3 between us, and that won't even cover a new window.
18:18Well, maybe we can work it off.
18:21Not me, old buddy.
18:22I got bigger and better things to do.
18:23Places to go.
18:24Things to see.
18:26In case you had noticed, we're in a jail cell.
18:28There ain't a jail built I can't bust out of.
18:32Neither one of them's ever been locked up before.
18:33What are you talking about?
18:34You got no imagination, Clark.
18:36You never did.
18:38Part of your charm, I guess.
18:39Just eat your food and go to bed.
18:51You're not poor, months now.
18:52You!
18:52Not pitiful.
19:12Ooh!
19:18I don't know.
19:54They'll shoot you.
19:56It's not too late, and come with me.
19:59You really think you're going to get away with this?
20:03Use your head for once, and let's pay our debt.
20:07We didn't come this far just so we could sit behind bars.
20:09If we don't get out of here now, we're never going to make it to California.
20:12Grow up and be a man.
20:14Good luck, Clark.
20:17Look me up when you get out west, if you ever make it that far.
20:38Come on.
20:42Come on.
20:44Oh, my God.
21:39Oh, my God.
21:53I gathered the eggs.
21:55The hens didn't do so well laying.
21:57Maybe the storm scared them.
21:59They'll settle down.
22:00Do you want some help in the garden?
22:02That would be great.
22:05You know, if we made the garden bigger, we could grow more stuff to sell.
22:09We could, after we fixed the shingles on the roof of the house and repair the barn door.
22:15And get the new corral posts up.
22:19We weren't this close when Pa was alive, were we?
22:23No.
22:25Why do you think that is?
22:28I suppose it's the age difference.
22:32And I was caught up in the trifles that tend to divert a young woman.
22:37You mean Jake?
22:41Yes, Jake.
22:44Do you miss him?
22:46I try not to think of it.
22:48It's been over two years and haven't heard a word from him.
22:51Do you think he's dead?
22:53I don't know.
22:55Well, if he wasn't dead, he would have written or sent some kind of word from the goldfields.
23:01We parted on disagreeable terms.
23:05If you part that way with a loved one, it tends to make any loss more grievous.
23:10Was he your true love?
23:12You need years with someone to know such a thing.
23:15True love is born of experience, not fairy dust.
23:20Do you think I'll find my true love?
23:23Yes, you will.
23:26But first, I need your help clearing this garden.
23:41What do you got to say for yourself?
23:43Well, I went back to check on him.
23:44The cell door was open.
23:46One was gone.
23:46The other one was just sitting there.
23:48Excuse me?
23:49I don't know how it happened.
23:50I'll tell you how it happened.
23:52You fell asleep in a prisoner's escape using a dinner fork.
23:55I ought to lock you up in his place.
23:58Get out of here.
23:59I'll figure out what to do with you later.
24:04Well, Mr. Clark Davis, looks like you're on your own.
24:07I appear so.
24:08Mr. Whitaker skipped over the stable, broke in, took his horse, and beat it out of town.
24:13Sounds about right.
24:15Don't suppose you know anything about this?
24:17I'm here, aren't I?
24:22Yes, you are.
24:27I was sleeping.
24:28You and my deputy both.
24:30I woke up.
24:32Daniel's fooling with the lock.
24:34I tried to talk him out of it.
24:35Suppose you going after him now?
24:37Wasting my time.
24:39I'll just end up on the wrong side of the law someplace else if the devil don't get him first.
24:43I will put his name out on the wire, though.
24:45We've been friends since childhood.
24:48I'd be careful who I call friend.
24:54I plead guilty.
24:56Now what?
24:58Time for public nuisance is $10, and pairs of millies will probably be about $30.
25:17I'll cover about three weeks' board on your horse over at this stable.
25:21I'm going to get you some breakfast in two weeks staying here.
25:24Sheriff, wait.
25:25What is it now?
25:27Isn't there somewhere I could work it off?
25:52Oh, my God.
25:56Come on.
25:58Come on.
26:05Come on.
26:06Come on.
26:07Come on.
26:08Millicent, can I have a word with you?
26:11I'd like to run something by you concerning this young man.
26:15I'm listening.
26:17Sit.
26:22So what's this all about?
26:24Where's the other one?
26:25Slipped out last night while my deputy was sleeping.
26:29Came in this morning and this one is just sitting there.
26:32The door is wide open.
26:34Now why do you suppose he didn't leave?
26:36I believe he is a responsible young man who would like to do right by you and the town.
26:42In fact, that's what I came to talk to you about.
26:45I'm still listening.
26:51Won't be much further now.
26:56You mind if asked where we're going?
26:59Nope.
27:01No you don't mind or no don't ask?
27:04Barlow Farm.
27:06Ellen Barlow lives there with her sister Cassie.
27:09They've been looking for some hired help.
27:11Can't pay much, but it'll suit your needs paying off what you owe.
27:15Two women living alone?
27:16Pa died last winter.
27:18Mom died giving birth to Cassie.
27:22You're trusting me not to run.
27:24Give me your word you stay.
27:26Keep my word on it?
27:28Your word's good enough for me.
27:31If you run, I will find you.
27:33And I may have to shoot you.
27:55You make camp up there.
27:58Close to work out of the ladies' hair.
28:00Plenty of game up there.
28:01You'll make do.
28:03Ellen!
28:04Cassie!
28:08Ellen!
28:08It's Sheriff Holden.
28:10Hello, Sheriff.
28:12Good day to you, Sheriff.
28:15Ellen?
28:16That fellow with the Sheriff is the one that was in the fight at Millie's.
28:19Yes, it seems so.
28:22Sheriff?
28:23What can we do for you today?
28:25It's what I can do for you.
28:26Ellen Barlow, Cassie Barlow, meet Clark Davis.
28:29Solution to your hired hand problem.
28:34Sheriff Holden, why don't you step down so we can talk in private?
28:38Yes, ma'am.
28:41Cassie?
28:43Make sure you don't run off.
28:47You and those other fellows sure tore up Millie's place.
28:50Yeah, we sure did.
28:51I'm really sorry about that.
28:53It was a grand fight.
28:54Grandest fight I ever saw.
28:56In fact, the only fight I ever saw.
28:58Rose, too.
28:59Rose is Millie's daughter.
29:01Cassie?
29:02Hold the horse.
29:03Stop talking.
29:07Why'd you bring that criminal here?
29:08He's not a criminal.
29:10Then what is he?
29:10He's an able-bodied man who will work for you to pay off Millie and the law.
29:14He started a brawl.
29:16He can't be trusted.
29:16First of all, he did not start the brawl Millie and you said so.
29:19That is beside the point.
29:20No, he's not beside the point.
29:21And secondly, I'm a damn good judge of human nature and that boy has a good solid character.
29:26You have only known him for a day.
29:28The other one broke out of jail and took off.
29:30This one stayed to face the music.
29:31That tells me a lot about his character.
29:34We'll find someone else.
29:36Ellen Barlow, you are as stubborn as your old man.
29:39Besides, there is no one else.
29:41And you sorely need him.
29:47Fine.
29:48But only on a trial basis.
29:49One week at a time.
29:51Minus $1.50 he already paid.
29:53He owes $38.50.
29:55Month's wages ought to cover that debt.
29:57Told him he could camp up there on the hill.
30:00Thank you, Cassie.
30:02Welcome, Sheriff.
30:06You leaving?
30:08You're so.
30:09Don't you worry.
30:10I'll be back to check on you for time to die.
30:12Goodbye, Sheriff.
30:13Stay out of trouble, Cassie.
30:15You too, Sheriff.
30:18Cassie?
30:24Barlow, I just want to tell you it's a pleasure to meet you and I really appreciate this job opportunity.
30:28Look, mister...
30:29What's your name?
30:30That's Davis.
30:32Clark Davis.
30:32Mr. Davis, I truly do not feel comfortable having the lacks of you around.
30:36But we need some hired help and you're all there seems to be.
30:40The lacks of me?
30:41I heard your friend say you were going to the gold fields.
30:43Is there something wrong with that?
30:44Dreamers.
30:45Chasing rainbows.
30:46Looking for gold.
30:47Get rich quick.
30:49Well, there is gold to be found.
30:50Look, if you're going to work here, you best get started.
30:53Half days are already gone.
30:54If I'm going to pay you a daily wage, I expect a full day's work.
30:57Yes, ma'am, you'll get a full day's work.
30:59Just tell me where to start.
30:59Well, there's plenty that needs attention.
31:01You can start by fixing the barn door.
31:09Okay.
31:13She's not so ornery once you get to know her.
31:15I might not live long enough to get to know her then.
31:18There's tools and a ladder in the barn and the lumber's out back.
31:22Come on.
31:22I'll show you, mister Davis.
31:24No, just call me Clark.
31:25Mr. Davis is my pa.
31:31You best be careful up there.
31:33I will.
31:34Thanks for the advice.
31:41You sure you know what you're doing?
31:43Yeah.
31:44Guess we're going to find out.
31:47Cassie, would you come here please?
31:49Gotta go see what she wants.
31:59Do you need me?
32:00Of course I need you.
32:01But I'm helping with the barn door.
32:03Come on inside the house.
32:23Did you want to talk about something?
32:25I think it's better if we maintain a distance from him until we get to know him.
32:29How do we get to know him if we maintain a distance?
32:32We know nothing about him except he started a fight and he got thrown in jail.
32:37Now please, just stay away from him for now.
32:40I best get back.
32:41He may need my help.
32:42Cassandra May, did you hear a word I said?
32:45Every word, Ellen Louise.
33:05You fixed it.
33:11Hope so.
33:14Sometimes I have to remind Ellen that she is my sister and not my mother.
33:18She's concerned for you.
33:20I can take care of myself.
33:21Yes ma'am, I'm sure you can.
33:27Heading to California.
33:28That sounds so very exciting.
33:30Your sister don't seem to think so.
33:32That's because of Jake.
33:33Jake?
33:34Jake Weller.
33:35He was Ellen's sweetheart.
33:37Moved to California with gold fever about two years ago.
33:40He wanted her to pack up and go with him, but she didn't want that.
33:44Yeah, what happened to him?
33:45I don't know.
33:46Haven't heard a word from him.
33:48Well.
33:50It could prejudice someone against their pursuit of gold.
33:52Yes sir, it could.
33:53She has very hard feelings against it too.
33:56Yeah, seems so.
33:57Hey, would you grab that two by four and slide it right under this door?
34:07You're a real big help.
34:08Really?
34:09Really.
34:43All fixed?
34:45I don't believe so.
34:50It stayed up.
34:53So far.
34:59It's working.
35:00Well, it's staying on the hinges.
35:02That's the important part.
35:04Cassie, we need to take my men into town and deliver it.
35:07Go pack the wagon and get ready to go.
35:08Can't I stay here?
35:09I thought we'd go by Millie's for lunch.
35:11You can catch up with Rose.
35:12I'm going.
35:13I'll hitch the team.
35:16Well, looks like you fixed it.
35:19Seems like it.
35:21Can I give you a hand with that team?
35:23No, that won't be necessary.
35:24I can manage on my own.
35:26What do you have in mind next?
35:28Crowell.
35:29One of the posts is rotted out.
35:30Other three need mending.
35:32New posts are behind the barn and all the tools you'll need are inside the barn.
35:38I'll get right on it.
35:47Me and Rose are going to the dry goods store.
35:49Rose and I.
35:51All right.
35:52Rose and I are going to the dry goods store.
35:55And please remember to see if my gang of materials come in.
35:58You'll be back in time for the supper rush?
36:00Yes, ma'am.
36:01Thanks.
36:06I have to admit, that fight was pretty exciting.
36:09Oh, I don't know.
36:11I take it you have a hired hand working for you now?
36:15Trial basis.
36:16One week at a time.
36:17I don't know how I feel about trusting a man who gets in a fight.
36:21Well, the sheriff brought him by here.
36:23Seemed like a pretty solid fella.
36:24We'll see.
36:26And he's not too disagreeable to look at.
36:29Millie, please.
36:32I hadn't noticed.
36:34Oh, of course you haven't.
36:37We'll be real.
36:59Look at me wait.
36:59We'll see you at a time.
37:00Hang over here.
37:05You'll see a shay here.
37:05Who's your partner?
37:05Now you're taking a walk at it,
37:13Let your good and perfect will be done in Cassie's life.
37:17Let no one stand in your way.
37:22Not even me.
37:26Good night, Mom.
37:29Good night, Pa.
37:46Good morning, Miss Barlow.
37:48Good morning.
37:49When you're finished with that post, Mr...
37:51Mr. Davis, don't forget the other three that are loose.
37:55I won't forget.
37:57Miss Barlow?
38:02Yes?
38:03Yeah, I never intended on being here.
38:06If I could have repaid that debt, I would have.
38:09But I gave the sheriff my word I would see this through.
38:11Your point is?
38:12As long as I'm here, I'm going to be civil to you.
38:14All I ask is you do the same in return.
38:16I am being civil with you, Mr. Davis.
38:32He's a real hard worker, ain't he?
38:34Isn't he?
38:36He has motive to be.
38:38Once he pays off his debt, he'll be on his way.
38:41It's not like the other gold diggers we've met.
38:44They're all the same.
38:47After fortune and adventure.
38:49He hums while he works.
38:52Pa was always humming while he was working.
38:58Does this fellow remind you of Pa?
39:00No.
39:02I was just wondering.
39:07I was just wondering.
39:29I think he's going to be a little one.
39:35I'm going to be a little bit.
39:38Thank you, Cassie. This looks really good. I appreciate it.
39:40If you need a drink, there's a tin hanging from the pump.
39:47This post is solid.
39:49You're doing a real dandy job.
39:52Dandy is a dandelion.
39:57What?
39:58My pa used to say that all the time.
40:01I've never heard anyone else say that before.
40:03Yeah, I'd heard he had passed on.
40:05Mom, I'm only sorry to hear that.
40:07No, it's all right.
40:10It's good to hear it again.
40:15Cassie, when you're finished, I need you.
40:17She just can't seem to get on without me.
40:21It's good to be needed.
40:27Cassie, now, please.
40:29I have to go.
40:42Go on inside and put this on.
40:44I took out the ham song.
40:45Why?
40:46Because you're getting so tall, the dress is looking too short.
40:48And I always want you to look your best.
40:50Besides, the dance is coming up.
40:52I forgot about that.
41:01New Cassie's right.
41:03You're a real good cook.
41:16So, wait, sis.
41:26He's humming again.
41:28I can hear that.
41:31There's no law against it.
41:34You know, this time of year, we could get another storm.
41:38If the body was camped outside, it sure would be miserable.
41:41Is that your way of saying we should allow Mr. Davis to move to shelter?
41:45Oh, do you think so?
41:47Your concern for his well-being, it's duly noted.
41:51Is that a no?
41:53Yes.
41:53Now, turn around so you can see the back.
41:56Will you think about it?
41:58Would you hold still?
42:21You turned out to be quite the farmer.
42:25I didn't even hear you ride up.
42:27My grandpa was half Osage.
42:29You sneak up on a rabbit, grab it by the ears with one hand.
42:33Just riding by?
42:34Nope.
42:35Wrote out to check on you like I said I would.
42:38You holding up all right?
42:42Uh, yes, sir.
42:44Ellen's a tad pushy and a bit headstrong, but she's a good person.
42:48She's guilty on the first two counts, but I haven't seen the nice part yet.
42:51If you do, Cal's got a heavy burden, what was keeping this place going and raising Cassie.
42:58Yes, sir.
43:00Well, I'm still here, so you can rest easy.
43:02I knew you were a man of your work, but I never rest easy.
43:05You'll be seeing me again.
43:07I'll count on it.
43:09I got an answer back on that wire I sent out on Daniel Whitaker.
43:12Turns out he got himself arrested for rustling a few counties west of here.
43:17Are they going to hang him?
43:18Could be.
43:20Funny how life is.
43:21If you've been with him, you could be facing the news.
43:24But here you are.
43:31Here I am.
43:34You make the best apple pie this side of the Mississippi.
43:37What's wrong with my apple pie?
43:39Nothing.
43:40It just comes second to Millie's.
43:42You are too kind.
43:44So how's your hired hand doing?
43:46He allows me to help, and he treats me like an adult.
43:49Unlike someone else I know.
43:51He seems to be a hard worker.
43:54Ellen's being kind of ornery with him.
43:56He works for us.
43:57We're not meant to be his friend.
43:59Well, you can be kind of ornery with a lot of folks.
44:02Well, some folks deserve it.
44:30I'm going to go pick wildflowers in the meadow.
44:35Maybe one day you can pick some for me.
44:37Sure.
44:38Just tell me when.
44:42Barlow, how are you?
44:44Fine.
44:51You do good work.
44:54My father taught me a lot about carpentry.
44:56Come in real handy around here.
44:58So you have a trade, yet you decide to waste your life on trivial pursuits.
45:04I guess you just got me all figured out, don't you, Miss Barlow?
45:07Well, I don't understand how a man can leave his family and his home and travel clear across
45:13the country in pursuit of a few little rocks no matter how much they're worth.
45:16Well, I think some men are just in pursuit of a better life.
45:20Others weren't shortcut.
45:22I was in it for the adventure.
45:32So, what's next?
45:34After you leave here?
45:36I'll keep heading west.
45:38Catch a steamer out of San Francisco.
45:40Head on over to China.
45:42China?
45:44New adventure.
45:45New places, new people.
45:47Well, it doesn't sound like you have any plans to settle down anytime soon.
45:51One day I would like to settle down.
45:54Have a family.
46:12Chickens have been laying real good since you got here.
46:14I think they like you.
46:16Yeah?
46:17Guess that makes me a regular old rooster, huh?
46:20There's a dancing town this Saturday.
46:22I've never been to a dance.
46:24There's plenty of good food, socializing, and music.
46:28How'd you and your sister go?
46:29Never miss it.
46:31Maybe you could go with us?
46:32I'll have to ask Ellen that.
46:34Ask Ellen what?
46:37Well, I'm waiting.
46:40Could he go to the dance with us?
46:44Well, if he wants to, all right?
46:46Oh, that's all right.
46:47I, uh, I don't have any fancy clothes anyway.
46:51I think we could find him a suit to wear.
47:05I think we could find him a suit to wear.
47:12Have a good suit, babe.
47:14Bye.
47:15Take a nice spot.
47:20I'm sure this suit looks all right?
47:23Looks better than all right.
47:24Fits you better than a big pop.
47:30You look beautiful.
47:32I haven't worn this dress in over two years.
47:35Not since Jake left.
47:37You can't see you telling me about him?
47:40She can't keep her mouth shut to save her soul.
47:43You still look very fishy.
47:46Took it out of the closet just for today.
47:54Ellen?
47:55You all slicked up.
47:59There'll be no trouble here, boys.
48:01No, we ain't looking for any trouble, Sheriff.
48:03Ain't that right, John?
48:04No, just commenting on how different he looks.
48:06What is it that you boys want?
48:07I just wanted to shake this fella's hand.
48:10And to tell him we feel partially responsible for his trouble.
48:17Yeah, you mean that?
48:18Word on it.
48:19Bygones are bygones.
48:21Enjoy the dance.
48:28You do look very spiffy.
48:35John, would you be a dear and get me a punch?
48:38My pleasure.
48:39Ellen?
48:40Oh, thanks.
48:41I'm fine.
48:49So, will we be seating Mr. Davis at services tomorrow?
48:51I mentioned it to him on the way here.
48:54Seems he's not a spiritual man.
48:56Oh, my.
48:57That's too bad.
48:59Do you find him handsome?
49:01You know I do.
49:05I find him passable at best.
49:10Okay, slightly more than passable.
49:16He's a hard worker.
49:17Good craftsman.
49:19Seemingly of pleasant nature.
49:21He's got a good spirit.
49:24Just needs a little cultivating.
49:25And he'll be leaving soon.
49:32Thank you for the dance, kind sir.
49:34My pleasure, madam.
49:39It's a fine dancing out there, Mr. Davis.
49:41You should dance with him, Ellen.
49:43Now, Cassie, normally the fella asks the gal to dance.
49:47Well, ask her.
49:49May I have this dance?
49:52You may.
49:55I'm gonna go find Rose.
50:05Oh, they make a fine-looking couple.
50:07Yeah, they do.
50:13Now, Millie,
50:15why don't you go playing Cupid?
50:17That boy is set on leaving.
50:22We'll see.
50:24Cassie's so eager to grow up.
50:27I can remember wanting to grow up.
50:30Have you?
50:32I think so.
50:37I know what I want now.
50:39So many of the things that I thought were the most important in the world.
50:43Well, they turned out not to be.
50:46I owe you an apology.
50:53When you first came into our lives, I prejudged you.
50:59But you're not the person I believed you to be.
51:02Let me finish.
51:05I feel like I'm getting to know you.
51:09I'm a real you.
51:11I'm not my perception of you.
51:14I mean, I like you.
51:17I like you, too.
51:18I like you.
52:00Cassie, you best hurry.
52:01We don't want to be late for service.
52:03I'm coming.
52:07Good morning.
52:09Good morning.
52:11I saw the team hitched up.
52:13I figured y'all was heading off to church.
52:14We don't have a church in the usual sense.
52:17Those services are held outside in the common area.
52:20I see.
52:21Well, I invited you once before, and I shall do it again.
52:25Would you care to join us?
52:27I do appreciate the offer, but I think I'm going to stay here and tend to the garden.
52:30We could all use an ounce of faith.
52:33Ms. Barlow, I'm not even sure if I know what that word means.
52:36Faith means believing in something greater than oneself.
52:39A higher power.
52:41Well, if it's all the same, I think I'll spend my day doing something a little more constructive.
52:45Worship is constructive, Mr. Davis.
52:48It's the most important work of all.
52:50It's okay with you.
52:51We'll just agree to disagree on that one.
52:53But I do appreciate the offer to the dance.
52:55You're welcome.
53:00Cassandra!
53:03Lauren Clark!
53:05Cassie, please, in the wagon.
53:07I don't want to be late.
53:10You feel good?
53:23We always have a potluck.
53:25After services, you'll have to scrounge for your lunch.
53:28I'll make do.
53:50Mr. Davis?
53:52Ms. Barlow.
53:53It's the end of the week.
53:55Your pay.
53:57Were Ms. Millie at the service?
53:59She was.
54:01You can just give it to her.
54:03No, it's not my place.
54:05It's better if you do.
54:08All right.
54:15The garden is looking wonderful.
54:20The tomatoes looking real ripe.
54:22Eggplant's just about ready to be picked.
54:23We can take it into town tomorrow.
54:25I sell most of my crops at the general store.
54:28You can visit Millie then.
54:30Sure thing.
54:33You know, I'm just about done here,
54:34so I'll probably pack up my stuff and head back up to camp.
54:40We're just about to sit for Sunday supper.
54:43Is that an invitation?
54:44It's the proper Sunday thing to do, Mr. Davis.
54:48Well, then I'd be that blah I should accept.
54:53Ms. Barlow.
54:56Perhaps since you and I are going to share Sunday supper together,
54:58maybe we can call each other by our given names.
55:01All right.
55:04You best wash up before you come inside.
55:07Sure thing, Ellen.
55:19Cassie, did you pick those flowers?
55:20For you.
55:21Just like you asked.
55:23Hey, you wouldn't mind if I took them tomorrow when we go into town, would you?
55:26They're yours to do as you like with them.
55:29I find gardening very relaxing and enjoyable.
55:32Plant some seeds, add some water, a little sunlight,
55:34and life magically springs from the ground.
55:38That sounds so very poetic.
55:41I get what you're saying.
55:42I feel the same way.
55:44We've been wanting to expand our garden,
55:46grow some more vegetables.
55:48Might be able to help with that.
55:50The boss's remission.
55:52I suppose that would be all right.
55:55Probably just need some wildflower seeds.
55:57We'll plant around the garden.
55:58Look real nice.
55:59Who wants to say grace?
56:01I'll say it.
56:02It's my turn anyway.
56:03Mr. Davis, I mean, Clark.
56:06Would that be all right with you?
56:08It's perfectly all right.
56:19Lord, thank you for this food that we are about to receive,
56:22and thank you for our new friend, Clark.
56:25Please watch over him.
56:26Even though he doesn't much believe in you,
56:28he's still a kind and decent man.
56:31Also, please keep watch over Ma and Pa.
56:34Your friend, Cassie Barlow.
56:35Amen.
56:38See?
56:38That wasn't so hard.
56:46I really appreciate the hospitality.
56:49Yeah, I really enjoy the meal and the company.
