(joyful music)

(sighs) - Missing a few head.

Wondering if you've had any problems?

- We may have lost a few more than usual.

- How did it um...

go in Franklin?

(laughing and squealing)

- Heard your pa didn't take too kindly

to you working for Tess.

to you working for Tess.

- I didn't get a choice really.

My brother's getting the Clay Ranch.

- We're down about 24. Yearlings and some breeders.

- 24?

What kind of animal could do all that?

What kind of animal could do all that?

- Something more dangerous than a cougar or a grizzly.

We're in for real trouble.

- Woah...

(Hannah): What is it?

(guitar strumming)

(sighs deeply)

- Fence has been cut.

- Is that a lantern?

- Sure is.

- Sure is.

- Hey.

Do we need any more proof than that?

(sighing)

(restaurant din) - You must be so relieved.

(chuckling): Yeah. I am.

Still doesn't feel real, though.

I've been working towards this my whole life.

Now what?

Now what?

- Now you get to enjoy it!

You deserve this, Sam! No one more than you.

- You've been so great, Maggie.

Honestly, there's no one else I'd rather have in my corner.

Honestly, there's no one else I'd rather have in my corner.

- Everybody always wants the nurse.

Helpful in most occasions.

- That's not why and you know it.

- That's not why and you know it.

Let's order us some big steaks.

- For breakfast? - To celebrate!

I feel like I've been living in limbo,

waiting for weeks to hear, and now-

- You remember my father?

- How could I forget? Nigel was such a...

- How could I forget? Nigel was such a...

welcoming man...

- With my father being a banker,

I remember seeing the way people treated someone with money.

I remember seeing the way people treated someone with money.

It can change things. Not always in the way you'd expect or hope.

Maybe it's best we don't tell anyone for now?

(playful music) - Uh, sure... yeah.

- Who have you told?

- Just Joe, but he's a good friend.

Besides, who else is he gonna tell?

(crowd chanting): ? He's a jolly good fellow

(crowd chanting): ? He's a jolly good fellow

? For he's a jolly good fellow

? Which nobody can deny ?

? Which nobody can deny ?

- Apparently, everybody.

- Here we are.

Only the best for you, good sir. (chuckling)

- That berry crumble looks delicious.

- It's my grandmother's recipe. Eleanor helped me perfect it.

- It's my grandmother's recipe. Eleanor helped me perfect it.

- I hope it's as good as your pancakes.

- You two have become quite the team.

- Delores has been an absolute blessing

and a huge help in the kitchen.

and a huge help in the kitchen.

I'm gonna go help Annie with the orange juice.

- I was thinking of using my cooking

as a way to find a part-time job.

- If that's something you want,

- If that's something you want,

I think it's a great idea.

(sighs)

Have you all heard that tonight is the rare blue moon?

- What's that mean?

- What's that mean?

- It's called a blue moon

because it only happens once every few years.

- Will it actually be blue?

- I don't think that's possible. (chuckles)

- I don't think that's possible. (chuckles)

- I heard it can bring a lot of change.

- That's just what some people say.

- What kind of change?

- I heard it can be for good or bad.

- Something bad may happen?

- Something bad may happen?

- What bad things could happen?

- I'm sure this moon will only bring good things.

In fact, my old assistant Zoe

is arriving today from San Francisco.

is arriving today from San Francisco.

I can wrap up my cases and start fresh.

And that's good for me.

- How many are we missing now?

- Not sure. Two days ago was 24.

- Not sure. Two days ago was 24.

We'll have to do another head count.

- Here we thought it was a predator.

- It is. The worst kind. (tense music)

We have a problem. - Yeah. I know.

- Rustlers. - We've all been hit.

- Rustlers. - We've all been hit.

- This office is too small for our big problem.

- I may have told Debbie.

- I may have told Debbie.

I'm sorry, but I don't know how the rest of the town found out.

- I have some idea...

(playful music) I'm sure it'll be fine.

(playful music) I'm sure it'll be fine.

It was more Maggie who was concerned.

Looking out for me.

- Ah.

(chuckles)

- There you are, Sam.

I was just talking to Debbie and she had a splendid idea.

I was just talking to Debbie and she had a splendid idea.

What if...

we threw you a party?

(playful music) - Oh. No, no, no.

That's not necessary.

- Ah. I... I do love a good shindig.

- Ah. I... I do love a good shindig.

- Yeah! You know, to honor one of our own who's hit it big.

- Could... be fun. - Tonight it is!

- Tonight? - Yeah!

No time like the present, right?

No time like the present, right?

Gotta ride that celebratory wave.

(chuckles)

Anyway, the timing on this is eerie

'cause you'll never guess what I just got in from Milwaukee.

- Hm?

- Caviar. Hmph. How perfect is that?

- Caviar. Hmph. How perfect is that?

- What? They make caviar in Milwaukee?

(scoffing): Sam, Sam.

People don't make caviar. Fish do.

And there are plenty of fish in Milwaukee.

And there are plenty of fish in Milwaukee.

And of course, we'll have grade A steaks

on the menu as well.

- Uh...

Sure, yeah.

- Sounds like it's coming together.

- Yeah. Steaks, caviar, cake, beverages.

- Yeah. Steaks, caviar, cake, beverages.

- Oh, and I can bring some of those party favors

from last Christmas. - Perfect.

- And... we could get all dressed up?

- Absolutely! Yeah.

Now, of course, I'll have to hire some additional staff

Now, of course, I'll have to hire some additional staff

and that'll cost a little extra, but...

...that's no matter for you, huh?

- Right.

Wait. I'm... paying for this?

- Well, Sam. I mean, the Royal Brookfield is delighted

- Well, Sam. I mean, the Royal Brookfield is delighted

to be the venue, but I... (chuckles)

...I don't exactly have the means to accommodate

the kind of party you deserve, you know? You understand.

- Oh... Of course. Happy to.

- Oh... Of course. Happy to.

- Great! This will be the best money a party can buy.

Uh, party money can buy... (chuckling)

I'll get right on it!

- I'll find those party favors. - Yeah.

- Thank you.

- You made it!

Aw...

How was your trip?

- Long. But I'm happy I'm finally here.

- I can't wait to show you around.

- I can't wait to show you around.

You will stay at the orphanage with us.

It's just outside of town.

- But I brought a lot of boxes...

- And I brought my wagon.

- You are always thinking ahead.

(chuckles) - Nora.

(chuckles) - Nora.

(playful music)

Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon, Michael.

Uh, this is Zoe Bryant, my former assistant

Uh, this is Zoe Bryant, my former assistant

from San Francisco.

She kindly brought my old work files,

so I could wrap up my cases.

- Nice to meet you, Zoe. - You as well, Constable.

- Nice to meet you, Zoe. - You as well, Constable.

- Ken. Harley.

Hope you and the rest of the ranchers

will join us here tonight for a party we're throwing.

- Yeah, sure, whatever.

- Great...

- Everything okay?

- Yeah!

Good luck with the paperwork. If you'll excuse me.

(scoffs)

- Delores right? Can I get you a pastry?

- Delores right? Can I get you a pastry?

- Well, actually, I'd like a-

- Double-baked raspberry turnover. Yup.

- Yes! No! (laughing)

I'd like a job? I love to bake.

I'd like a job? I love to bake.

- Oh, well... (sighing)

I wish I could help, Delores,

but until the renovations are done inside

there's only room for one at this pastry stand.

there's only room for one at this pastry stand.

I'm sorry... - That's okay. Thank you.

- Delores, you say?

- Yes. - Ronnie Stewart,

head proprietor of the Royal Brookfield,

a highly sought after place of employment.

a highly sought after place of employment.

Tell me, do you have any experience working

in a fast-paced environment?

- Well, I make breakfast for the children

and I love to cook and clean.

- Well, Delores, today is your lucky day.

- Well, Delores, today is your lucky day.

Right this way. Let me talk to you about an opportunity...

- How's your dance card looking?

- A bit dusty. Why?

- Well, I was hoping that you might have some space on it

for me tonight.

- Well, I've always got a space for you.

- Well, I've always got a space for you.

- Great.

Then I'd like to formally invite you, Miss Maggie Parsons,

as my date...

...to a party Ronnie's hosting.

...to a party Ronnie's hosting.

- What... a party for you?

- I think so, since I'm... paying for it.

- Well, of course, I'd love to Sam,

but isn't a party the opposite of keeping a low profile?

but isn't a party the opposite of keeping a low profile?

(groans) - When's the last time this town

did something fun together?

(playful music)

(chuckles)

(chuckles)

- So, the navy or the burgundy?

- I... trust your judgement.

- Burgundy it is, then.

I've been eyeing these for a while and, well,

your party just feels like the right time for us to splurge.

your party just feels like the right time for us to splurge.

Oh, and great news!

I just hired Delores from the orphanage to help out.

Now, she'll be doing double duty as personal assistant,

so naturally we'll have to pay her a double salary.

But it's all coming together.

But it's all coming together.

- It'll be fun.

- It'll be expensive.

- But fun.

- In total, how many have we lost?

- Too many.

- Between what everyone has shared, I'd say in total

we've lost over six dozen head in the last week.

- By next week, who knows how many more?

- By next week, who knows how many more?

- Death by a thousand tiny cuts.

- I'd say we keep things quiet, 'til we know who's responsible.

- I already told you that I'll report to headquarters.

Get some Mountie reinforcements.

Get some Mountie reinforcements.

- I believe I speak for all ranchers here when I say

we can handle these rustlers on our own.

- And I can speak for all the Mounties when I say, don't.

I know you're concerned about your property...

I know you're concerned about your property...

but you have to act lawfully.

- Rustlers ain't!

- Which is why they'll end up in jail.

As will anyone else who breaks the law.

- This is supposed to be a Cattlemen's Association Meeting.

- This is supposed to be a Cattlemen's Association Meeting.

What are you even doing here?

- Well, an hour ago, it was a cattle rustling situation,

which is a criminal matter.

So association or not, I need to be here.

- Where's Tess? She's still at Cape Fullerton?

- Where's Tess? She's still at Cape Fullerton?

- Yeah... till tomorrow.

It's fine, I'm covering for the Stewart Ranch.

Any rustlers, I can handle it.

- There's nothing for anyone to handle.

- There's nothing for anyone to handle.

This is Mountie business.

- This is also rancher business.

- Then I suggest don't be a vigilante.

- We're not being vigilantes

if we're protecting our own property.

- You are if you try to take the law into your own hands.

- You are if you try to take the law into your own hands.

- We have a right to defend our own land.

- I'd like to say something. - Oh, this should be riveting.

- I know I'm new here,

but my uncle Ray was a long time part of this ranching community.

but my uncle Ray was a long time part of this ranching community.

He'd stand with you... and so will I.

- Listen, a meeting is fine...

but when it comes to apprehending anyone

but when it comes to apprehending anyone

you have to leave it to the Mounties.

(groans) This isn't the Wild West.

Laws are in place for a reason.

Do I need to read you the criminal statutes,

chapter and verse? - We'll let you do your job.

chapter and verse? - We'll let you do your job.

- Wyatt, we agreed- - Stop Ken.

We're not going to win this argument. This meeting is over.

Bring in your reinforcements. (suspenseful music)

- We just need these people caught.

- We just need these people caught.

- And they will be.

(indistinct chattering)

(indistinct chattering)

(tense music)

(playful music)

- It's going to be quite the spread, Sam.

(chuckling) Oh, and Delores has been busy

creating a special centerpiece.

- What do you mean?

- Oh, you'll see. (laughing)

- Oh, you'll see. (laughing)

We took the liberty of making a display

out of your own prospecting pick!

- Really? Wow. - Yeah.

- We'll, we're pulling out all the stops to ensure that you,

Mr. Tremblay- - And guests...

- Enjoy an evening you will never forget.

- Enjoy an evening you will never forget.

- I appreciate that, Ronnie. - Mm-hmm.

Oh, wait, one last little thing.

You know, putting on a party such as this is no small feat,

as you can imagine. So I'll have to let you know

as you can imagine. So I'll have to let you know

that the hotel rental has... gone up.

- Since this morning?

- Well, we're now in high season.

(chuckles)

- I really appreciate you bringing all my paperwork here.

- I really appreciate you bringing all my paperwork here.

It's strange seeing my old cases.

Almost feels like another life.

- Here are the last boxes, Miss Nora.

- Here are the last boxes, Miss Nora.

(playful music) - Oh!

- Don't blame me, it's the blue moon!

- I hope that doesn't mean more bad things are gonna happen.

(sighing)

(sighing)

- Ronnie, I hope you're not being extravagant

in order to spend Sam's money.

- What? No... I'm trying to throw a simple party.

- What? No... I'm trying to throw a simple party.

Nothing extravagant about it.

(wheels scrapping)

- Here it is. The Golden Pick.

(laughing): Yeah.

(laughing): Yeah.

- Sam is a good man.

Please don't take advantage of him.

- Maggie, I would never even dream-

- Okay. But I'll be watching you.

- Well, I think it's darn impressive.

(chuckling)

- Hi Maggie.

Is everything okay?

- Actually, I could use a friend.

- Actually, I could use a friend.

- Well... that I can do.

(soft music) And, as your friend,

I've come to deliver homemade cookies as a thank you

I've come to deliver homemade cookies as a thank you

for helping with the children.

- You already know me so well.

- So. Tell me your troubles.

- So. Tell me your troubles.

(sighs deeply)

- Now that the town knows about Sam's gold claim,

I just don't wanna see him get hurt or taken advantage of.

- You really care about him.

- You really care about him.

- I do.

He's wonderful.

- One thing's for sure. Money does not buy happiness.

- Amen to that.

- Amen to that.

(joyful music)

(giggling)

(groans)

- We've faced this situation before.

- We've faced this situation before.

- If I understand there wasn't a Mountie

stationed here back then.

- Nope. Sure wasn't easy, but we handled it.

This new Mountie means well.

This is our property. Our business.

This is our property. Our business.

- Didn't old man Edwards get shot?

- He survived.

- Back then we had no other choice but to act alone.

This is a new generation.

This is a new generation.

- As ranchers we need to stick together.

If one of us goes solo,

we all suffer.

It's a full moon tonight.

Perfect time for these rustlers to make a move.

Do we have enough hands? - Mm-hmm.

Tess is gonna be mighty annoyed she missed this.

- I'll make sure to hold my own. (sighing)

- Good. We need all hands on deck.

- Good. We need all hands on deck.

(knocking at the door, suspenseful music)

- You're expecting someone else?

- No. Come in.

Constable Fletcher. What a surprise.

Constable Fletcher. What a surprise.

- Awfully convenient to find you all together.

Just here for tea?

- I like a good Earl Grey.

- I like a good Earl Grey.

(sighing)

- I've contacted reinforcements. They'll be here soon.

Listen, I can't stop you from wanting to protect your land.

Listen, I can't stop you from wanting to protect your land.

But we need to work together. We're on the same side.

You can stand guard. Be our eyes and ears,

but you have to let us Mounties do our job.

If we work as a team, we can capture these rustlers.

If we work as a team, we can capture these rustlers.

Understood?

- Michael's right. - You serious?

What about us ranchers doing it on our own?

- Best not to repeat the past.

- Best not to repeat the past.

- I agree with Wyatt.

(frustrated sigh)

- Great. Alright. Listen up.

(gentle music)

(gentle music)

We need to sort out posting teams.

Rather than just specific ranches, we need to cover

the entire area.

I've been scoping out the highest vantage points

to see where the rustlers might be moving in.

to see where the rustlers might be moving in.

This is where the Mounties will be stationed.

You said you found a lantern by your broken fence?

- That's right. - Good.

So we can assume that's what the rustlers are using.

So we can assume that's what the rustlers are using.

Because we...

are gonna be using these.

If you see this light out there, don't shoot.

- Otherwise, we shoot.

- Don't shoot anyone regardless.

- Don't shoot anyone regardless.

Remember, our plan hinges on us working together

and sticking to the plan.

Go it?

- It's in all of our best interests.

- It's in all of our best interests.

- We're gonna be stationed here and here.

I want you patrolling between both.

I want you patrolling between both.

If we see anything, we're gonna report it to the Mounties,

who will be camped right here.

- Got it, boss.

(horse snorting)

(sighing)

(sighing)

- What are you doing? - I'm coming too.

- If the rustlers show up, it's gonna get ugly.

I don't wanna have to worry about you.

- I'm not asking. This is my ranch.

- Hannah. When's the last time you even shot a gun?

- Hannah. When's the last time you even shot a gun?

- I used to shoot cans with my uncle.

- Won't be like shooting cans.

- Like you said, we need all hands on deck.

And I've got two of them.

I'm not sending other people to protect my property.

I'm not sending other people to protect my property.

(horse whinnies)

(sighing)

(sighing)

- This Johnson case still irks me.

I mean, I'm happy for the firm,

but... it just doesn't feel right somehow.

- Things just... aren't the same without you.

- Things just... aren't the same without you.

- Zoe, is everything okay?

- Yeah, yeah. Everything's fine.

- Hi there. - Don't you look lovely?

(chuckles) - Thank you.

Are you coming to the soiree for Sam?

Are you coming to the soiree for Sam?

- Ah, yes. I heard something about that.

I wish I could come with you, but something's come up.

- That's too bad.

Constable Reynolds. Didn't expect to see you in Brookfield.

- Miss Anderson, nice to see you again. We're in position.

(somber music)

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah, nothing Fearless Fletcher can't handle.

- Meaning it's dangerous.

- Don't listen to him. (playful music)

(barking)

(barking)

Don't listen to him either.

(dog whines)

It's just a little Mountie business.

- Well, be careful out there.

- Will do.

- I'll be sure to be careful too.

- I'll be sure to be careful too.

- I certainly hope you will be.

- Enjoy the party, Nora.

(horse neighs)

- Wow. Doesn't it look great in here?

(chuckling): It really does.

(sentimental music)

Oh, Sam. It's beautiful.

- Ronnie got extra flowers,

so I made it for you.

- How thoughtful. Thank you.

(cows mooing, crickets chirping)

(soft music)

(soft music)

(Hannah): You've been real talkative.

- Just remember to keep your head down.

- I know how to hide. - You should've stayed back.

- I can take care of myself.

- I can take care of myself.

- Look. That type of bravado

might have worked for you in the city, but here it's...

likely to get you shot.

- You underestimate me.

- You underestimate me.

- Won't be the first time.

- Did you just pay me a compliment?

- Don't go twisting my words.

What I meant was...

...I've never met anyone quite like you.

- Still sounds like a compliment.

- You're something, ain't you?

- Now you're just praising me.

- Now you're just praising me.

(chuckles)

(branches cracking)

- It's just me! (pants)

I think I saw a lantern off in the woods,

but he's gone now. You wanna go back and check it out?

but he's gone now. You wanna go back and check it out?

- Where was that?

- 'Bout a mile east of here. Down by the gully.

- I'll be back within the hour.

In the meantime, you two stay put.

(men chuckling)

- Oh, don't mind if I do. Thank you.

- Thank you. - Oh, yeah.

- What is that?

- What is that?

(mumbling): No, I'm thinking Milwaukee doesn't produce

the best caviar.

(groaning): It's an acquired taste.

(groaning, clearing throat)

(groaning, clearing throat)

(clearing throat): Everyone. Your attention, yeah, thank you.

We... we're gathered here tonight to honor one of our own.

We... we're gathered here tonight to honor one of our own.

(chuckles)

Sam Tremblay has hit the motherload.

(cheering, clapping)

This sort of thing doesn't happen very often,

so to commemorate this rare event,

so to commemorate this rare event,

I have had my new employee, Delores, create a special treat.

(playful music)

(gasping) A blue moon cake.

(gasping) A blue moon cake.

(cheering and clapping)

- Aww...

Delores!

- I got a job, Miss Nora.

- I can see that.

- I can see that.

Well done.

- Thank you.

(breathlessly): Wow.

- I thought you invited the ranchers?

- I invited a bunch of them. (sighing)

- I invited a bunch of them. (sighing)

- Hmm. None of them showed.

Wonder what else they could possibly be doing.

(heavy breathing, gun cocking)

- No sign of Wyatt.

- It's been over an hour, he should be here by now.

- It's been over an hour, he should be here by now.

- I'm sure he'll be fine.

He's the best tracker around these parts.

(sighing) Where are you going?

- To look for him.

(sighing): Wyatt said to stay put.

- He's not the boss.

- You don't know what's out there.

- You don't know what's out there.

- I'm gonna find out.

(sighing)

Actually, Fenton...

I need you to do something.

I need you to do something.

(suspenseful music)

- First these rustlers start swooping in and stealing

our cattle and now they're just wasting our time.

our cattle and now they're just wasting our time.

- Need to be patient.

- No, we worked too hard to keep our cattle healthy.

And then these guys want to benefit from our sweat?

There's too much at stake.

There's too much at stake.

Tess is gonna come home tomorrow and expect to see a full herd

to sell at the cattle run.

And I'm gonna have to tell her. (branches crackling)

- Woah, don't shoot, don't shoot. It's just your dad.

- Woah, don't shoot, don't shoot. It's just your dad.

(sighing): Dad, what are you doing here?

- Here to relieve you.

- Don't you have your own post?

- Your brother and my ranch hands have that covered.

- Your brother and my ranch hands have that covered.

I can handle this with Ken.

- I work for Tess now.

This is my job, I'm not going anywhere.

- I'm your father. I'm telling you to go.

(scoffing): Sorry, dad, but no.

(scoffing): Sorry, dad, but no.

You raised me to be a rancher.

And I've been one since I was five.

I've been working my whole life for this.

- And I protected you your whole life.

- I'm not leaving!

- Well, neither am I. - Well, I am.

I'd rather take a bullet than listen to you two.

I'd rather take a bullet than listen to you two.

I'm gonna go find another post.

(somber music)

(somber music)

(loon wailing)

(sighing): Come here.

Maybe this wasn't such a great idea, huh?

Maybe this wasn't such a great idea, huh?

- Watch out! (popping)

(gasping, laughing)

Oh, well, it's all part of the fun, everyone.

(laughing)

- What are the odds of that happening?

- I'd... call it once in a blue moon.

Delores, can you get this cleaned up

Delores, can you get this cleaned up

and then get the fireworks setup right away?

Gotta keep the party moving! (snapping fingers)

- Right away, Mr. Stewart. - Okay.

(cows mooing, crickets chirping)

(cows mooing, crickets chirping)

- Thinking about those cattle rustlers...

...or Miss Anderson?

- I'm focused on the job at hand.

- I remember that day she came to Clearwater looking for help.

(soft music) - Yeah?

- Yeah, she's a strong-minded woman.

- I like that about her.

- I like that about her.

She's a good person with a good heart.

- Yeah, well, you don't have to convince me.

Not to mention beautiful.

- I didn't forget.

- I didn't forget.

- Well, I hope you also

don't forget that it's hard enough to do our jobs

without complicating it with feelings.

- Maybe we should just focus on catching these rustlers.

- Maybe we should just focus on catching these rustlers.

- This Brookfield assignment is temporary, right?

- Yeah.

- Look, Fletcher, I've known you a long time.

We both like the freedom this job affords.

In my experience, the happiest Mounties

In my experience, the happiest Mounties

are the ones that aren't tied down to any one place.

(suspenseful music)

(dramatic music)

(gunshot)

(breathing heavily, whimpering)

(screams) - Shh, it's me, it's me.

It's me. Shh...

(panting)

Get behind me, get behind me. Sh...

(tense music)

(horse neighs)

(gentle music)

- You know, the Greeks used to say a blue moon was a chance

to let go of the past.

(sighing): What does that mean?

- Listen, I know...

- Listen, I know...

it wasn't always easy for you.

You needed a mother and I certainly

couldn't be that for you.

I did the best I could raising you, but I still...

I did the best I could raising you, but I still...

Yeah... I feel like I've failed.

- You didn't. You didn't fail, dad.

I just... wish I got to know her.

I just... wish I got to know her.

- Yeah, I know. Me too.

(sighing)

But sometimes when I look at you,

I think I'm looking right at her.

(chuckles)

(chuckles)

You have your mother's strength, her grit...

and got her stubbornness.

- Mm-hmm. I'm pretty sure I get the stubbornness from you, dad.

- Mm-hmm. I'm pretty sure I get the stubbornness from you, dad.

(both chuckling)

- Listen, no matter how tough you may act...

I still see you as my little girl.

- Dad, you gotta let me make my own mistakes.

How else are little girls expected to grow up?

How else are little girls expected to grow up?

(indistinct orders)

(indistinct orders)

(suspenseful music)

- If I shoot, it'll give away our position.

- If I shoot, it'll give away our position.

What were you thinking?

(horse snorts)

- I was worried about you, so I came looking.

- Well, you found me. What now?

- Now...

I hope things go according to plan.

- You have a plan?

(breathing heavily): Yes.

Sort of.

(shouting): Over there! (gun cocking)

- They spotted us! Get down, get down!

- They spotted us! Get down, get down!

(whimpering) (gunshots)

(gunshots)

(dramatic music)

(Mounties shouting)

(horses snorting)

(gunshots) (Mounties shouting)

(panting) - My plan...

I sent Fenton for help. (gunshots)

I sent Fenton for help. (gunshots)

(shouting): Hey! Drop your weapons!

(Rustlers and Mounties shouting)

- Mounties! Spread out!

(Mounties shouting)

(Mounties shouting)

- I got this one!

- Come on, move it!

- Quick right! - I got him! Move right.

(panting)

(suspenseful music)

(man grunts)

(man grunts)

(grunting)

- On your feet!

(effort grunts)

You're under arrest. (gun cocking)

(rifle cocking)

- Yeah, I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Get on the ground!

(gun cocking)

(horse neighing)

(tense music)

(tense music)

(horse startle)

(gunshot) - Oh!

(groaning) - Stay down.

(groaning) - Stay down.

- Delores! You're taking too long.

We need to create a spark. That's all, here, watch.

We need to create a spark. That's all, here, watch.

(playful music) There we go...

- Um, Mr. Stewart!

I don't think you're supposed to be doing that.

- Oh, is fine!

(gentle music)

(footsteps approaching)

(footsteps approaching)

- You're missing your party.

(chuckles)

- I'm not really in a party mood.

- I'm not really in a party mood.

- Then why did you agree to it?

- This was for the town.

- You have a heart of gold, Sam.

- You have a heart of gold, Sam.

And that's way better than real gold.

You're upset that not many people came?

- That's... it's not that.

- Then what is it?

- I've just been thinking...

taking stock in what's important.

Ever since I was a young kid...

...it was my dream to strike gold.

I thought... that gold would bring me happiness.

That people would respect me.

I'd finally be somebody.

(scoffs)

But now that it's happened...

doesn't seem to matter to me

doesn't seem to matter to me

in the way that I thought it would.

- I get it.

(chuckling)

- I knew you would. (sighing)

Yeah, I look around...

and all that matters is right here.

- The townspeople? (chuckles)

- It's you.

Maggie...

you accepted me when I was just Sam.

You're the brightest part of my days.

You're the brightest part of my days.

I have all this gold

and the only thing I can think about is...

and the only thing I can think about is...

kissing you.

(music swells)

(music swells)

(laughing, fireworks popping)

(Delores): I can't believe it!

(laughing)

- We did it!

Ah! Oh! - Wow!

(man): Oh, my!

(fireworks popping)

(amused laughter)

(amused laughter)

- You were right, Sam.

This party was a great idea. - Mm-hmm.

(soft music)

- Whoa.

- Well, guess I'll see you tomorrow.

- Well, guess I'll see you tomorrow.

- You showed grit today.

You're more than bravado.

You back it up.

For better or worse,

For better or worse,

you're one of us now. A rancher.

- I've learned from the best.

- Is that a compliment?

- I was talking about my uncle.

(horse snorting)

You aren't so bad yourself.

You aren't so bad yourself.

- Right.

- Goodnight, Wyatt.

- Goodnight, Hannah.

- Goodnight, Hannah.

(horse snorting)

(wolf howling)

(sighs)

(girl): Aren't you afraid when you go out there?

- Everybody gets afraid at one time or another.

It's what you do with your fear that defines you.

It's what you do with your fear that defines you.

(gentle music)

(gentle music)

- Alright, we're gonna ask you guys one more time...

(sighs deeply)

Which one of you clowns is the leader?

- You know, Jim? As I look at this ragtag bunch,

I don't think any of them has the intelligence

to pull off this operation.

(whispering): I thought I clipped one in the shoulder

when we were chasing them on horseback.

Not one of these guys' got a wounded shoulder.

(somber music)

(somber music)

(sighing)

- Want me to ride with you back to the cabin?

- I'll be fine.

- No doubt.

- No doubt.

Lucie, I want you to know...

...I think Tess has the best foreman in the valley.

- Thanks, dad.

- Thanks, dad.

I'm sure Tess is gonna be sad she missed tonight, but...

...meant a lot for me to be out there with you.

...meant a lot for me to be out there with you.

(footsteps approaching)

(dishes clinking)

- Mint. You remembered!

- Mint. You remembered!

- I figured some things had to stay the same.

The children are wonderful.

- And you finished this.

- And you finished this.

This is amazing.

- The most pressing files are on top.

And I need to make my way back to San Francisco

in the morning.

- I was hoping we'd have a chance to catch up

- I was hoping we'd have a chance to catch up

before you leave.

- There's not much else to say. (chuckles)

- What about telling me what's been really going on?

- What about telling me what's been really going on?

Zoe. It's okay.

- What would you tell a friend

who might have done something illegal,

who might have done something illegal,

but didn't realize it at the time?

- What did you do?

- You knew how you and Mr. Williams would often

have me deliver filings to the courthouse?

- Of course.

- Of course.

- Sometimes, Mr. Williams would have me deliver other envelopes

to a judge.

Judge Halvorson.

- Okay...

- Last time...

- Last time, what?

- I looked inside the envelope...

- I looked inside the envelope...

...and it was full of money.

- There must be a reasonable explanation for that.

- The next day, we got a favorable ruling

from Judge Halvorson.

Then I remembered all the other envelopes I delivered

and all the other cases we won...

- Didn't Judge Halvorson preside over

- Didn't Judge Halvorson preside over

my Thornton Erikson lawsuit?

Did you deliver an envelope for that case?

Carter Williams has been bribing a judge...

- Yeah...

What are you when you help another person commit a crime?

What are you when you help another person commit a crime?

- An accessory.

- Am I an accessory?

- No.

You didn't do anything wrong.

- What about you?

- What about you?

A lot of the cases before Judge Halvorson were yours.

(knocking at the door, gasping)

- Michael...

- Michael...

I didn't expect you.

- I know it's late,

but I needed to come by. - Oh?

- There's a cattle rustling operation underway tonight.

We caught the bandits,

We caught the bandits,

but their leader's still out there.

- That's... wow.

- He's still somewhere in the area,

likely armed and dangerous.

I needed to make sure you and the children were safe.

I needed to make sure you and the children were safe.

- Thank you.

We're fine.

- I don't feel right leaving you alone tonight,

knowing the rustlers are on the loose, close by.

Are you okay if I stay on the porch tonight?

Are you okay if I stay on the porch tonight?

- Do I have a choice in this?

- Not really.

I'm not gonna let anything happen to you or the children.

- Thank you, Michael.

You're a good man.

And a great Mountie.

- Thanks, Nora.

- Goodnight, Michael.

- Does that mean that you could get implicated?

- Does that mean that you could get implicated?

(breathing shakily)

(whispering): Good girl, good girl.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

(horses neigh)

(suspenseful music)

(neighing)

(tense music)

(keys jingling)

Lucie? Is that you? (gun cocking)

(gasps)

Huntsman.

Huntsman.

What are you doing here?

- Waiting for you.
