The following
presentation is rated PG.

This presentation deals
with mature subject matter.

Viewer discretion is advised.

Isn't life the
most peculiar thing?

The twists and turns,
at the triumphs and failures,

they all lead us on the
most unexpected journey.

I came to Hope Valley to
become a teacher but what

I found was so much more.

This town and the people here
have changed me.

They've opened my eyes to things
I couldn't have imagined before.

I found true love here.

I've made wonderful
friends here,

some of whom have found love
themselves and while our little

town cannot neither spare us
from misfortune nor shelter us

from the past and the
complications it brings,

Hope Valley is my home now,
my present, and my future.

I've been looking
everywhere for you.

Church was low on firewood.

I thought we were going for a
ride after school?

Oh,
we were.

You had company.

How did--

I came to pick
you up but Charles

was there
on bended knee.

How much did you hear?

Oh, enough to know
that I shouldn't be listening.

So,
I left.

I told him no,
Jack.

But he wouldn't have been
there if he didn't think

he had a chance.

I never gave him any reason
to believe that.

Why is it that every time I
think the past is the past,

something like this happens?

I don't know...

because life is messy,
people are messy.

Maybe some things just
aren't meant to be.

You don't mean that.

I don't know what
I mean right now.

Jack!

We can't go back,
not when we've come this far.

It's over with Charles,
once and for all.

I don't know if
I believe that.

Then let me convince you.

They say time heals all
wounds but will that be enough?

I wish we could go back and do
everything differently

but here we are.

As we say goodbye to Christmas,
a new year is upon us.

I can only hope the past stays
in the past and the future is

something we cherish together.

Well, have you and Mr Coulter
made any big plans

for New Year's Eve yet?

No, it's going to be a quiet
little evening, I'm afraid.

I'll take this one.

Very good.
That's 10 cents.

Oh!
Almost forgot.

This came for you this morning.

I've been waiting for this.

Ha ha ha!

I can't believe it!

Is everything all right?

All right?
It's incredible.

This is going to be the best
New Year's Eve in the

history of Hope Valley.

Oh, Mr Yost.

Thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you!

What was that about?

Beats me but I am not
complaining.

Charles proposed?!

I was totally shocked.

Oh, he didn't look too happy
when he got on that stagecoach.

That's because he isn't used

to hearing the word
"no" very often.

He'll make some lucky woman
very happy one of these days.

Just won't be me.

Does Jack know what happened?

Jack overheard most of it.

No!

Yes.

Okay, you and I need to sit
down and catch up.

Was Jack upset?

He thinks I gave
Charles hope.

Well, I suppose that's
a natural reaction.

After all,
he did propose.

Charles is a dear friend.

I knew his feelings
were stronger

but I was always
honest with him.

Well, it's not your
fault that Charles misread your

friendship as something more.

I know.

Jack just needs a
little bit of time.

I don't blame him and you're
smart to give it to him.

Thank you.

You've changed since
you've come back from Hamilton.

How?

You know who you are now.

And who I'm not.

And now that I have
it figured out...

Look out Hope Valley.

Look out world.

Well,
that's strange.

I baked a pie and now it's gone.

They probably
served it at lunch.

I guess I must have.

Anyway, who needs pie when
there's so much to talk about.

There's nothing
more to talk about.

Well, honestly,
if it would've been me,

I would have decked the guy.

Wouldn't have
solved the problem.

Charles is like a bad penny,

keeps showing up where
he's not wanted.

He's still got some business
with the sawmill, but...

If he ever proposed that to me
then I really will deck him.

I'm not convinced he's ever

going to stay away
from Elizabeth.

Ah, Jack,
it doesn't matter.

Elizabeth only has eyes for you,
everyone knows that.

I hope you're right.

Trust me on this one.

Have a good day.

You've already decided
I'm guilty, haven't you?

I know what I saw.

It's not what you think.

What else can I think, Bill?

You had counterfeit money and
printing plates in your hotel

room and that was after you
pulled off the case.

I did it for good reason.

I've wired Inspector Houston
and he's gonna be here

on the next stage
to take you back for trial.

You're making a mistake,
Jack.

Wish I could believe that.

Well, I think we'll have to
add another shift if we're going

to make delivery before the
first of the year--

Lee.
I won.

I won!

Ah, give us a minute,
alright fellas?

Thank you.

Okay, I'll bite.
What did you win?

The San Francisco Herald
wants to do a story on how

people celebrate New Year's Eve
on the frontier,

something that really
captures the spirit of

hardworking people,
fighting obstacles,

standing up for
their families,

creating new bonds,
and forging into--

Rosemary.

So,
they ran a contest.

Ah.
And?

I wrote an essay about our
dear little town and I won.

Well,
congratulations.

So, what does that mean?
You win a prize or something?

Better.

They're sending a reporter here
to Hope Valley to do a story on

New Year's Eve that is going to
run on the front page of the

biggest newspaper on the entire
West coast.

Featuring...

Let me guess.

You?

How did you know?

Oh, what can I say,
lucky guess?

Well,
there's so much to do.

I need to get started right away

and I can count on
you to pitch in?

Pitch in with what?

I made a list.

Of course you did.

This is not a list, Rosemary.

This is the Magna Carta.

Oh, Lee.

Come on, it'll be fun.

A project for us to do together,
we've always made a great team.

Yay us!

Take a look, we can talk
about it tomorrow.

I can hardly wait.

What is this?
Fireworks?

Champagne,
a marching band?!

A marching band.

How am I gonna get
a marching band?

Elizabeth.

I've been thinking
about our conversation.

And?

And I don't understand how
Charles could have showed up

if you hadn't encouraged him.

Jack, I was very clear
with Charles and I was just

as surprised to see
him here as you were.

Could we talk
about this tonight?

Whenever you're ready.

Elizabeth, you were
very convincing before.

Inspector Houston.

You must be
Constable Thornton.

Yes Sir,
welcome.

Let me help you get settled.

Thanks.

Congratulations on a job well
done.

Well, it's never a happy day
when we have to arrest one of

our own, Sir.

Well, I had my suspicions
about Bill Avery for a long time

now but you were the one who
caught him redhanded.

They set a trial date yet?

Not yet but they'll expect
you to testify.

Good day.

Good day.

A reporter from the
San Francisco Herald is

coming here to Hope Valley?

Yes, indeed, to enlighten
the world on how we celebrate

New Year's Eve.

But we don't really do
anything for New Year's here.

It's a pretty boring holiday.
I'm asleep by ten.

Well, this year we are
going to celebrate in style.

How?

A grand ceremony in front of
the church with fireworks and a

dedication for the memory box.

Oh, memory box?

You mean like a time capsule?

It's a wonderful way to
commemorate the year gone by.

The memory box committee
collects important items from

everyone in the town,

seals them up to be opened
100 years from now.

I would love to be in charge
of that committee.

Done.

We'll also have an art contest
and the piece that best embodies

the spirit of New Year's will be
placed in the memory box along

with the other memorabilia.

What about planting a tree as
part of the ceremony?

Yes, Dottie,
that is an excellent idea!

Oh, and, of course, we must
have a program for the children.

Yes, a program,
something simple,

a recitation perhaps?

I'll be sure to let
Miss Thatcher know so she

can get started right away.

Miss Thatcher?

Well, won't she be
directing the children?

You'll be far too busy with

all of your other
responsibilities.

Oh, my dear.

Think she can handle it?

The sign of a true leader is
the ability to delegate.

Of course it is.

Yes, indeed.

I'll make sure to tell her.

You do that.

Well, this is just so much fun,
delegating.

So, have you made any
New Year's resolutions yet?

Have you?

Mhmmm, to be patient,
to be kind,

not to envy,
but to trust.

First Corinthians.

My favourite passage.

It's not that
I don't trust you.

And what is it?

Charles is
everything I'm not,

high society,
social status.

I mean, you and he have
a lot in common.

Only on the surface.

Jack, you said things could be
hard for us because we come from

two different worlds but you
also said we could face anything

if we do it together.

I did.

Do you still feel that way?

Do you?

With all of my heart.

It'll be a new year.

This could be a new start for
us.

Not to rush,
but to get things right.

Yeah,
that's probably a good idea,

not to rush.

I think so.

To proceed cautiously.

Not too cautiously.

Let's take our time.

And enjoy the time we take?

Well,
I'm all for enjoying things.

You sweeping the
sun off the sidewalk?

Just getting the cafe
ready for the big

New Year's Eve festivities.

Those boys from the
mill have a talent for tracking

mud onto my floors.

Yeah, they're just in a
hurry to dig into your

sweet potato casserole.

Well, it'll still be there
even if they wipe their feet.

You think I could convince them
to take their shoes off?

Ha ha!

I don't think their socks would
be much cleaner.

I had a really nice time at
dinner the other night.

I'm sorry if I asked too many
personal questions.

Oh, I think it was my answers
that were the problem.

I was wondering, um,
maybe you'd like to have

dinner with me Friday?

There's more to the story.

I'm taking dinner to the
Hendersons on Friday.

Jason's mother is sick.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, perhaps another time then?

Abigail, it is so nice to see
you sweeping and tidying up.

I wish some of the other
merchants would have the same

sense of civic
pride that you do.

We want to look at our absolute
best for the reporter

from the Herald.

Well, I'll leave you two
ladies to your work.

I trust the Church is going
to be in tiptop shape

for New Year's?

I'll let God know there's
going to be an inspection.

Frank...

Let's grab that dinner soon.

Great.

Dinner?

Don't you have
somewhere to be?

As a matter of fact there is
a decorations committee meeting

for the New Year's Eve party and
then one for the tree dedication

ceremony and then there's the
refreshment committee.

I...

So many committees,
so little time.

There's only so much of
me to go around.

Such a shame.

It is, isn't it?

Clara, did Ned deliver those
extra bottles of milk I ordered?

They were on the back porch
when I left this morning.

I didn't see them.

That's odd.

As you all know, we have a
big holiday coming up.

Even though New Year's is
celebrated all over the world,

what some of you may not know is
that the new year doesn't start

at the same time for everyone.

If you want to be the first to
celebrate New Year's,

you have to go to a place
in the Pacific Ocean called

Christmas Island and if
you want to be the last,

you have to go all the wayyyyyy
to the Cook Islands.

Now, in New York City in 1907,
they built a giant ball and when

the clock strikes 12, it slides
down a giant flagpole and

everyone cheers.

Mm-hmm?

Are we going to have a giant
ball slide down a flagpole here?

No, Emily.

But our class is going to put on
a special New Year's program and

there's going to be
an art contest.

Yes, Laura?

Does everyone have to be in
the art contest?

It's a lot of fun and there's
going to be a prize

for the winner.

But we won't get started on that
until tomorrow.

Today, we're going to
learn arithmetic.

Shall we have some
cookies first?

Yeah.

Miss Thatcher.

There's a boy outside.

I've never seen him before.

I don't see anyone.

He went around back.

All right, everyone.
Please stay in your seats.

Thank you.

Hello.

I'm miss Thatcher.

Would you like to join us for
some cookies?

You can meet some
of the other children?

Have a good day and don't
forget to work on your lines

for the New Year's program.

Miss Thatcher?

I don't think I can it be in the
art contest.

Why not?

Time to go, Laura.

Coming.

I thought you might need some
help carrying your books home

from school.

It's the best offer I've had
all day.

Oh, I wanted to ask you.

There was a young boy who was
outside of the back of the

schoolhouse earlier, light hair,
about ten.

I've never seen him before.

Any idea who he might be?

He's probably just one of the
new settlers in the valley.

I asked him inside but I
think I might have

scared him off.

Oh, well.

I was scared of my teachers when
I was a boy too.

Yes, but I'm not
a scary teacher.

I don't know.

I've seen your
scary teacher face.

Jack Thornton, I do not have
a scary teacher face.

Oh, you better be careful.

Your face might
freeze like that.

Well, I know one way
to make sure it doesn't.

What's that?

Calm down, boy.

What?

Did you forget to feed him
today?

No, I don't think that's it.

What are you doing?

No, I'm testing a theory.

I think he's jealous.

Excuse me?

I've seen it before.

When I joined the Mounties,
Tom got a dog and when I came

back for a visit he
wouldn't let me near him

without barking up a storm.

You can't be serious.

Rip and I go way back.

Well, animals love me.

Remember at the Homestead?

They named a cow after me.

I don't know if I'd be
bragging about that.

Well, Rip and I are just
gonna have to work things out.

I know.

Why don't I take him with
me for a few days?

We'll be best friends
before you know it.

It might not be as easy as
you think.

He can be a tough customer.

Well, I can be tough too.

Okay.

He's all yours.

Come on, boy.

How about you and me go and get
a nice yummy snack?

Come on, boy.

Come on.

Go on.

Well, if it isn't the great
Inspector Avery?

Should have
listened to me, Bill,

but you couldn't stay away,
could you?

The case wasn't closed.

You disobeyed a direct order.

Now if I were you, I'd start
thinking about getting the best

lawyer I could afford, not that
it's going to do you any good.

We both know who's guilty.

You're a crook and
you're gonna pay.

I'm going to enjoy
watching you rot.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for a friend
of mine, Matt Landry.

Landry.

I'm not familiar with the name.

Heard he moved
to Hope Valley.

Well, maybe check
over yonder by the river.

There's some
squatters down there.

Thanks.

I'll do that.

Is there a hotel in town?

Above the saloon.

Much obliged.

Come across this Landry,
you want me to give

him a message?

I'd rather deliver
that in person.

Thanks for the offer, though.

If you were hungry,
you should have just asked.

I'll put everything back.
Just let me go.

Hold on, young man.

Why don't I get you some fried
chicken instead?

I didn't hear a,
"Yes, please."

Yes, please.

Much better.

You're the boy I saw outside
the schoolhouse, aren't you?

What's your name?

Thomas Edison?

Huckleberry Finn?

No.

You must be Napoleon Bonaparte.

No.
Cody.

Where're you from, Cody?

Can I have
some potatoes, too?

Please?

This is good!

I bet your mom makes collards
pretty good, too.

When you've finished, why don't
I take you home

and we'll ask her?

I'd better go.

Oh, hold on there, buddy.

Cody, we need to
know where you live.

Your parents must
be worried about you.

I can take care of myself.

Oh, I know you can, but it's
not safe for you to be out alone

this late.

I'm not telling.

Then, I guess you're just
going to have to come back to

the jail for the night.

But, no.
I can't go to jail!

Becky won't know where I am!

Is Becky your sister?

She's sick.

Honey, you need to take us to
her so we can help her.

I can't.
Well, why not, Cody?

She says if I tell anyone
about us,

they'll send us back.

Did you run away from home?

I didn't have a home.

I'm guessing you don't have a
mom or a dad either, do you?

Please, Cody.

I bet Becky is as
hungry as you are.

A hot meal would do
her a lot of good.

This way.

What are they doing here?

We just want to help.

We don't need your help.

It's okay, Becky.

No, it's not.

Oh, she's burning
up with fever.

Okay.

Get you out of here.

I saw some other
ones this way.

What was wrong with
the last five we looked at?

Oh, Lee.

The tree that we plant in front
of the church is going to be the

centerpiece of all
the festivities.

It has to be picture-perfect.

You do realize, of course,
that these guys are

on the clock.

Do you realize what this
story will do for us?

People will read this story and
think what a wonderful community

we have.

They will want to move here and
build homes and open businesses.

We're ensuring our
town has a future.

Miss LeVeaux has a
point there, Mr Coulter.

Do not encourage her, please.

Thank you, Hickam.

And who do you think they will
buy lumber from when they are

building their homes and opening
their businesses?

I do like when you talk
dollars and cents.

Follow me, boys!

Right behind ya.

You heard her.

Let's go.

Let's get this over with.

See if you can get some rest.

Make sure she drinks
plenty of water.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll be downstairs if you
need anything.

She seems nice.

It's okay.

How is she?

I'd feel better if
she saw a doctor.

Well, Dr Wilkins
doesn't make his rounds

'til after New Year's.

Ned Yost says there's a
new hospital in Union City.

I'm heading
to the Mercantile now.

I'll wire the hospital and see
if they can send someone.

Thank you.

Cody?

Where are you going?

Back to camp but I'll come to
see Becky before dark.

Well, it's awfully cold out
in the forest.

Wouldn't you rather stay here
with your sister where it's

nice and warm?

I only have three pennies.

How much would it cost?

Well, I'm a businesswoman so
maybe we can figure out some

kind of arrangement.

I'm pretty good at chores.

Well, maybe you could
do some chores in exchange

for room and board.

Could I earn enough for
apple pie at dinner?

Can you make your bed?

Sure can.

Then pie is possible.

Do we have a deal?

Yes, ma'am.

Deal.

Good morning, Miss Thatcher.

Good morning,
Constable Thornton.

What you got in the bag?

Nothing.

Just something I need to have
repaired at the Mercantile.

Oh, something I can fix?

No.

It's nothing, really.

It wouldn't have anything to
do with Rip, would it?

Your shoe.

I think it's time that
he came home.

No.

That would be admitting defeat.

Oh, and Thatchers
never admit defeat.

Never.

What do you know
about Laura Campbell?

I know she lost her
mother a few years back.

It's been hard for them.

I can tell.

Jed's a good man.

Works from sunup to sundown but
I don't think there's a lot of

joy in their family.

Abigail sent over
breakfast for you.

That's very kind.

Make sure you thank her for me.

Houston's the one who's dirty.

Not me.

Houston has been a Mountie
for over 20 years, Bill.

And my father knew him.

Doesn't mean he's clean.

It's just means he's
gotten away with it till now.

I'm telling you
the truth, Jack.

You let him take me tomorrow,
there's not going to be a trial.

He'll put a bullet in my back
and convince everyone I tried to

run for it.

Jack!

I'm asking you to trust me.

So, the idea for the art
contest is to create a drawing

or painting that captures the
spirit of New Year's.

What do you mean
"the spirit"?

How are you supposed to draw
something that you can't see?

Well, it's not
about what you see.

It's about what you feel.

When I think about
New Year's,

I think about fireworks.

It makes me feel happy inside.

Good.

So I want you to take those
happy feelings and put them down

on paper.

That picture of Times Square
makes me feel like there's

something big and exciting gonna
happen next year.

So draw big and exciting.

I don't know anyone by the
name of Landry.

Yeah, Matt wrote and told me
he was in the Hope Valley but

doesn't seem like anyone's ever
heard of him.

Is this Mr Landry
a friend of yours?

More than a friend.

My dad took off when I was 15,
left me to take care of my mom

and my little brother.

That must have been
difficult for you.

Yeah, it was.

But Matt loaned us some money to
get back on our feet and,

well, now that the crop's come
in I want to pay him back.

Start the New Year
with a clean slate.

Maybe our Constable
might know your friend.

Have you met Jack Thornton?

I don't think I've
had the pleasure.

He usually comes
in around noon.

Well, no sense waiting.

I'll see if I can find him.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Who was that young man?

His name is Jesse.

He's in town
looking for a friend.

He's very handsome.

Maybe Clara--

Clara doesn't need us
meddling in her

personal life, Florence.

Everyone's personal life
could use a little meddling

now and then.

Miss Thatcher, is there
really going to be a war on

New Year's?

I don't think so.
Why?

Someone said there was gonna
be a New Year's revolution.

I think you mean resolution.

What's a resolution?

A resolution is a promise we
make to ourselves to do

something different
in the New Year.

I wanna make a New Year's
resolution to read.

That's a good one.

More Captain Billy and his
bloody pirate adventures.

How about a New Year's
resolution to read more

Dickens or Shakespeare?

All right.

We can talk more
about that later.

But, for now, class dismissed.

I'll see you after lunch.

Laura?

Why don't you take your
assignment home with you so you

can work on it there?

I can't.

Mr Campbell?

May I speak with you
for a moment...

..about Laura?

What about her?

Oh, no, no.
It's all right.

She just doesn't seem to
want to do the art project I

assigned in class, today.

I send my daughter
to school to learn.

Well, there's more to
learning than just

reading and writing.

Pardon me for
speaking plainly,

Miss Thatcher, but you don't
understand what life is like for

people like us.

We work for a living.

Yes, but being creative is
part of work for children.

It teaches them how
to communicate

and express themselves.

That's your opinion.

Avery says there's two
more sets of plates

buried on the
north side of town.

Oh.

They'll show us where they
are if the judge grants

them leniency.

Well, personally, I'd throw
the book at them but it's up to

the judge.

Where is he?

I don't know...

..but I can guess
where he's headed.

He's armed.

Better take this.

Her lungs are clear
but her pulse is weak.

I'll arrange for something to
get the fever down.

Is she going to be okay?

I'm fine, Cody.

Don't you worry.

The best thing, right now
for her, is rest.

I'll be back later
to check on her.

Thank you, doctor.

Well?

Cody?

Would you like to come
with me to school?

No.

All children who stay at my
house go to school and they take

a bath before they go.

I hate baths.

I'll heat the water.

I hate school.

We're rehearsing a
special program for the

New Year's Eve celebration.

Could Cody be in it?

He sings really good.

I'm not that good.

Well, I'm sure we could
find you something.

And when you're feeling better,
you can come and see him.

I wouldn't miss
it for anything.

Set it down and step away.

Don't let him do this, Jack.

I told you!
Do what he says, Bill.

Can't believe I
trusted you, Bill.

Drop the gun.

Put it down.

Over there.

It's a shame Avery killed you
before I could shoot him.

Let him go.
I'm the one you want.

Sorry.

I can't leave any loose ends,
but not to worry, Jack.

I'll tell everyone
you died a hero.

But not you.

You set me up.

Ughn!

Give me a reason
to pull the trigger.

All right, now, a little more
to the left.

No problem, Miss LeVeaux.

Yes, there.
That's good.

Now, a tad towards me.

You heard the lady.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

No.
Okay.

Back it up.

Yes!
There.

It's perfect.

Okay.

Mmm...

Yeah.

What's wrong now?

The sun.

I don't want the tree
to be backlit.

You can't move
the sun, Rosemary.

That's why we need
to move the tree.

Where would you like it?

Whoa, no, no, no.

Not so fast.

Every time we move the tree,
you give us another reason to

move it again.

But, trust me.

This is it.

This is beautiful.

Let me take a
look further away.

Okay, you do that.

Take ten, boys.
Thank you.

Rosemary LeVeaux?

Yes?

Mike Ward,
San Francisco Herald.

Mr Ward!

You're a day early.

Oh, yes, I am, ma'am.

My editor wants me to get
a jump on this story.

He's eager to get this to press.

Well, he won't be
disappointed.

Shall we get started?

Yes, ma'am, but the first
thing I need from you is a

photograph of you
and your husband.

My husband?

Yes, ma'am.

Can't do a story about a
frontier family New Year without

a photograph of the two
of you now, can I?

My husband...

So, you make up
your mind, yet?

..is right here!

All right.

Big smiles, Mr LeVeaux.

Just like your wedding.

Hi.

You must be Cody.

Who are you?

Pastor Hogan.

Nice to meet you.

If you're a pastor,
shouldn't you be in church?

Oh, Miss Thatcher uses the
church as her schoolroom during

the week.

So, where do you go?

Anywhere I'm needed.

How does God know
where to find you?

They say he works in
mysterious ways.

Hello, Frank.

Cody, here's your book bag.

Okay, on your way.

Miss Thatcher's waiting.
Okay.

Bye.
Bye.

Seems like a good kid.

He is and he's
been through a lot.

Yeah, couldn't have been easy
looking after himself and

his sister, out there all alone.

Well, I'm just glad he found
his way into my kitchen.

A lot of people wouldn't
be so generous.

Well, to be able
to give is a gift.

I've been so busy I
forgot we had plans.

Oh, no, that's okay.

I figured you had
your hands full.

Another time.

Will I see you at the
New Year's celebration?

I think that can be arranged.

Ha.

All right, everyone.
We have a new student today.

His name is Cody and I'd like
you all to make him

feel welcome.

Welcome, Cody.

Now, do you all have
your scripts?

Yeah.

Yeah, I have mine.

Very good.

Um, I'd like for you to look at
your lines for a moment and then

we'll get started.

Laura.

Laura!

Where are you going?

Home.

Well, you're supposed
to be in class.

My dad needs help
pulling the weeds.

I am sure that can
wait until after school.

I'm the only one to
help with the chores now.

Laura...

My dad says when my mom died
she took away the sun.

Do you really
think that's true?

It is for us.

How could you not know you
needed to be married to enter

this contest?

It says right here
in the rules.

On the back page,
in fine print.

Who reads the fine print?

It's usually a
pretty good idea.

This whole marriage thing,
it's just a small technicality.

Technicality?

We just have to pretend to be
married for a couple of days.

Mr Ward won't even
know the difference.

I'll know the difference.

This New Year's Eve
celebration is so important

to the town.

Florence already has a dozen
items for the memory box,

the children practising
their program,

making artwork for
the art contest,

oh, and they're so excited
about the fireworks.

You wouldn't want to
disappoint the children now,

would you, Lee?

The children?

Really?

Mhmmm.

You are going to owe me.

Is that a yes?

I suppose so, yes.

Now, just don't be late
for the interview.

Whoa, whoa.
What interview?

Well, Mr Ward wants to
know all about us.

Not to worry,
I'll take the lead.

You just agree
with everything I say.

Great.

What else is new?

Oh, boy.

Pastor Frank Hogan,
I never would have figured that.

Oh, don't look so surprised
to see me, Matt.

I did my time.

How'd you find me?

Almost sounds as if you
didn't want to be found?

What do you want, Jesse?

Can't I look up
an old friend?

Heck, you were like a
father to me.

I didn't set much
of an example.

You kidding me?

Everybody wanted to be like you,
the legendary Matt Landry.

Matt Landry is dead and
buried and I got work to do.

You don't really
think I'm buying this

holier-than-thou act, do you?

Whatever you've
got going on here,

I want a piece of it.

The only thing I've got going
on is serving the people of

Hope Valley as their pastor.

Can't fool me, Matt.

Good try though.

It's not a bad
way of life, Jesse.

Maybe it's time you
turned over a new leaf.

That's a good one.

Or maybe it's time
you get out of town.

Well, that's not a very
friendly attitude.

These are good
people here, Jesse.

I don't want any trouble.

You know, I think I'll be
sticking around for a while.

Kind of like the scenery.
