Original subtitles

[Commissioner French] They call it "the land of opportunity".

The journey you're about to begin will take courage,

and every ounce of perseverance you can muster.

Where you are going,

there will be unbounded horizons and endless adventure.

This life is not for the faint of heart.

Along with its unbridled promises

come immense challenges.

All sorts will be arriving into this vast territory,

seeking the freedom of the frontier.

Some to strike it rich,

others holding on to the hope

of a brighter future.

Alone you'll be called upon to be the law,

in a place where currently there is none.

You 300,

the first graduating class of the North-West Mounted Police Force,

will need consummate skills in diplomacy.

The powers granted you

will extend to all aspects of government jurisdiction.

But make no mistake, gentlemen.

Your primary job is to keep the peace.

So go out there.

Pave the way for these settlements.

But always remember that in a world of right and wrong,

uphold what is right.

?? We shall lead more happy lives ??

?? Won't give chase, but we will play ??

?? Over the hills and far away- ??

[wood cracking]

Whoa! Whoa!

[horse knickering]

What was that?

I don't know.

Hang on, buddy, hang on.

Can you fix it?

No, there's no fixing that.

[metal clanking]

We're gonna have to leave the wagon behind.

But what about all of our things?

Come here.

I know it's been hard, Sarah.

[exhales]

We've come too far to let anything stop us now.

Everything's going to be okay. Okay?

Promise to pieces.

Promise.

Okay. [kiss]

Okay, boy.

[instrumental music]

[Sarah] Oh, no.

I left Nina in the wagon.

Papa bought me that doll.

Whoa!

Whoa!

We can go back for it.

No. We should keep going.

Are you sure?

I miss him, too.

[Rebecca] Whoa, whoa.

What are you thinking, Mama?

[determined music]

- Ready? - Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

Three. Two. One. Now.

Keep going. Push harder. Push, push, push!

Yes!

Hold it, hold it!

I got this.

Almost there.

Okay. Ready? One, two, three.

[creaking]

[thud]

Oh! [laughing]

Come here! Ah!

Well done, my love.

Oh my gosh!

Ah!

Thank you.

How long now?

Shouldn't be more than a couple of days.

Can I see it again?

Will our room be upstairs?

No, it'll be downstairs.

Right there by the kitchen where it's warm.

And then we have a whole parlor to ourselves,

and a big old armchair that you can curl up in

and read your books, just like you used to.

Think we'll ever go back?

I don't know.

Hm.

All right, let's load her back up.

There we go.

Whoa!

[Rebecca tsking]

Whoa.

Whoa.

We're in gold country.

What does that mean?

It means we'll be there soon.

Maybe we can find some gold, too.

Nope. We're just stopping for water for Patches,

and we'll be on our way.

Can you hand me the canteens?

Thank you, sweetie.

Good girl. Good girl.

[cows mooing]

[Tom] Well, they're blocking the stream.

Can't cross here.

They've moved since last week.

Yeah. They go to where they think the gold is.

You know what? Take the cattle upstream, cross there.

Okay. Come on.

Okay. Oh.

Thank you.

Howdy.

What are you doing, supplying these locusts?

Trying to make a living, Tom. What would you have me do?

Anything else.

Breeding wolves would be less harmful to my ranch.

Okay. Got it.

[explosions]

[startled neighing]

- [Rebecca gasps] - Mama!

Whoa! Whoa! Patches!

Mama! Help! Help!

[Rebecca] Sarah!

I got it, I got it!

Sarah!

Hiyah! I got ya.

[frightened neighing]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Come on, come on.

[Tom] You're okay.

[Rebecca] Sarah!

Are you okay?

Yeah, I think so, Mama.

Oh.

Oh!

Oh, gosh.

You saved my little girl.

Thank you.

Yeah.

?? Is there hope in the valley?

?? I want to see it come alive. ??

?? I wanna see you come alive. ??

?? Is a storm in the coming skies ??

?? I want to be here█ when it dies ??

?? I want to see Hope come alive ??

?? I wanna see you come alive. ??

What an adventure, huh?

Yeah.

I can't thank you enough.

It's nothing. You okay?

Yeah.

Are you okay?

Yes. Thank you. Thanks.

Hattie, what was that? Gunpowder?

Dynamite.

Some of the prospectors have taken to using it

to get to the gold.

You see who set it off?

Yeah. Fella back there.

Name's Doyle.

Excuse me, ladies.

Doyle.

No more of this dynamite, you hear?

You're spooking the horses.

Well, this ain't your stream.

Who are you to tell me what to do?

Well, I was here before you,

and I'll be here long after you're gone.

Don't count on it.

When I strike it rich, I'm gonna buy up this whole territory.

Consider this your warning.

[tense music]

Okay.

Looks like you've hurt your hand. I can help you with that.

No, no. I'm fine, thank you.

Yeah, well, this wheel here is not.

Mom and I put it on ourselves.

Well, you did a good job,

but Hattie's right.

The wheel's definitely shot.

Well, Tom's got a blacksmith that can help fix that.

Yeah.

Are you gonna offer his services or what?

Yeah. Yeah, no, I can-

It's all right. We've got to be on our way so I can-

Definitely not on this wheel.

So why don't you guys load up

and I'll drive, if you don't mind,

since I know how to avoid the rockier parts.

Get on.

Yes.

[indistinct chatter]

[Commissioner] Congratulations.

Commissioner French.

Ah.

Constable Vaughan, isn't it?

That's right, sir.

Graduated top in the class.

- Well done. - Thank you.

Well, now the accolades are over and the real work begins.

I understand you've been

assigned to Gold Country.

Yes, sir.

Well, from my experience,

where there's gold, there's trouble.

Understood.

Make us proud, son.

[dramatic, determined music]

So you're Sarah.

Rebecca.

Tom Moore.

What is this place called?

I call it home, but you're not going to find it on a map.

Heard you say you've been here a while?

I've been here a few years.

Truly God's country.

Lots of room for me to expand my herd.

It won't be for long if those prospectors have their way.

Is there a trading post around here?

I think we'll need some supplies before we move on.

You met the woman who runs it.

Oh.

Where are you headed?

West.

We bought the...

Where are you coming from?

Back east.

We broke off a wagon train in the Dakota Territory.

Dakota territory?

You've come a long way.

We've managed.

My momma can do anything she sets her mind to.

I believe it.

Still, traveling alone across the frontier?

You got some gumption.

I'll take that as a compliment.

You can take that however you like.

[light acoustic music]

Whoa.

[Tom] Clayton.

Prospector set off an explosion down near the stream.

Spooked this woman's horse.

Do you think you can fix it?

Well, Clayton can fix just about anything.

[Rebecca] Wonderful.

How long will that take?

The axel's shot.

Depends if the trading post has the supplies I need or not.

Peggy.

This is Rebecca. Sarah.

They could use a hot meal.

Peggy cooks for me.

You're in luck. We're having a cookout tonight.

You should join us.

In addition to being my foreman,

Nash here is also a mean fiddle player.

We've been enough trouble today. Thank you, though.

Do you want to come play with us?

I have to help my mother.

Pleasure.

I'm gonna check on your horse here,

make sure it's not hurt.

Oh, it's all right.

I can- I can check on Patches.

I've been doing it for three months.

All right, well, I've been doing it for three decades.

I'll just make sure.

[sighs]

Aren't you coming?

I'll stay and watch our things.

All right.

Call out if you need me. I won't be far.

[horses knickering]

What do you think?

I think you'll be just fine.

That hand really needs tending to.

I'm fine.

I've seen wounds like that out on the battlefield.

They almost always end up infected.

Battlefield?

My husband was a doctor during the war.

I helped him out sometimes.

Mm.

Where's your husband?

He passed recently.

My condolences.

Thank you.

You must have seen some things during the war.

Yeah.

Look, Rebecca.

You got some grit.

I'll give you that.

But grit alone isn't going to save you out on the frontier.

And what will?

Well, you got all sorts of wild animals to look out for,

not to mention you got outlaws,

whiskey traders, cattle rustlers.

It's a whole assortment of bad.

Well, believe me,

the frontier doesn't hold the monopoly on bad people.

Don't get me wrong.

There's more good than bad out here.

I'm getting that sense.

And as much as I hate to ask, it seems we'll be delayed.

I would be much obliged if we could camp on your land tonight.

You can be my guest.

Thank you.

Listen, I got extra rooms

in my house.

No, thank you. We'll be fine.

Alright.

How's it lookin' here, Clay?

Oh, we're getting there.

She's lucky this wheel lasted as long as it did.

Figure it was a lot more than luck

to come as far as she did.

You gotta wonder what brought 'em out here, though, huh?

A woman and a girl all alone?

I'm sure they got their reasons.

[light fiddle music]

Good work today.

- Thanks, Tom. - You're welcome.

[Rebecca] Here you are.

I'm sorry I almost mentioned the boardinghouse.

Oh.

It's all right, sweetheart.

It's only...

better until we get where we're going,

that we just keep some details to ourselves.

For our own safety.

Because we need to be where they can't find us.

Exactly.

You love hopscotch. Why don't you go join them?

That's okay.

They look friendly.

I'm tired and we still need to clean up.

I know it's been a really long journey.

But we'll be there soon,

and we can start living our dream.

[rooster crowing]

[mooing]

- [Sarah screams] - Get! Get!

Go on, go!

Good morning.

Brought you some breakfast.

Peggy sent some biscuits.

[Rebecca] Thank you.

Yeah. Sorry. I should have warned you about them.

Oh, here you go, sweetie. Here's some milk.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Oh.

Oh, your hand is really getting infected.

You should let me treat that.

That's not necessary.

It absolutely is.

I'll meet you back at your house.

Your husband teach you this?

My mother, actually.

This is made of white oak. It'll prevent infection.

Seems like a lot of fuss for a little cut.

My husband had a patient once

who refused treatment to his big toe

because he thought it was a lot of fuss.

I bet he survived.

He did.

He's now known as "Three-toed Joe".

[laughs]

Hm.

This will sting a little.

[winces and groans]

More than a little.

That means it's working.

It's working real hard, then.

Oof!

You've built a beautiful ranch here.

Thank you.

What about you?

What about me?

Hmm. You seem like city folk.

Got a cultured quality about you.

[door opens]

[Nash] You got another visitor.

[Tom] Hattie.

I was just about to pay you a visit.

I was in the area, so I thought I'd save you the trouble.

In the area, huh?

Ah.

It looks like a mighty fine job you've done on his hand there.

Oh. Thank you. It's the least I could do

after he saved my daughter and my horse.

Rebecca's got some medical experience.

Ah.

What do I owe you?

Uh, $23.

You know, I don't recall Frank ever paying me a visit,

ledger in hand.

Yeah, well, Frank was a lot of things,

but a good businessman wasn't one of them.

Hattie, I may need to stop by the trading post

and pick up some supplies once my wagon's fixed.

Okay. Tom can point you the way.

Okay.

[door closes]

I like her.

[Tom] She's overcome a lot.

Her husband died sometime back.

[Rebecca] Hattie.

I just wanted to thank you

for speaking up yesterday about the blacksmith.

I'm really not sure Mr. Moore would have helped if you hadn't.

Tom's a decent man, but

sometimes he just needs to be pointed in the right direction.

Other times, he needs a gentle push.

I- I hear you're a widow.

You heard right.

I recently lost my husband.

I'm sorry.

It kind of throws you for a loop, doesn't it?

It certainly does.

Good day.

- [Peggy] Rebecca? - Oh, hi.

- Where's Sarah? - Sarah's in the tent.

I think she's had enough of the trail for the day.

You can leave her with me anytime.

Thank you.

She's safe with me. I've got two of my own.

Three, if you count Nash.

[laughing]

Thank you, Peggy.

Oh, hello. Have you seen Clayton?

I just was wondering when the wagon's going to be ready.

He mentioned it'll be done in another day or two.

Alright.

Listen, you be careful out there, and...

let me know if there's anything you need before you go.

Thank you. How about directions?

Where we're going is about 15 miles northwest of Buxton.

Buxton? That's close to here. What's there?

This.

I bought it.

[sighs]

Why would you go and do something like that?

No, this can't be right.

Over 15 miles northwest of Buxton.

Hmm. It bears a passing resemblance.

You've been swindled.

People say this building was going to be a bunkhouse,

but the rancher couldn't make a go of it.

Long before I got here.

Last year some fella arrived

saying he won this property in a card game.

He was going to turn it into a boardinghouse.

A couple of months ago, he left.

And I'm assuming that was right after you wired him the money.

You don't have to stay, you know.

Well, it was a foolish notion from the get go.

There's nobody around here that wants a boardinghouse.

You're better off without it.

I'm better off?

[explosion outside]

You see what I'm saying? The last thing we need

is someone giving those locusts comfort.

I gotta go take care of something.

Coming?

No, I'll find my own way back. Thank you.

[exhales]

[door bell chimes]

Hattie.

I need you to stop selling dynamite to these prospectors.

No can do, Tom.

I'm in the business of selling.

Then I'll make it worth your while.

Oh, now you got my attention.

$4.00

And just like that, you lost it.

Okay. How much?

$5.00

$5.00

A month.

- A month? - Yes.

There's good money to be made from selling it.

[scoffs]

Uh, listen, Tom.

I saw you and Rebecca talking outside the old ramshackle.

What was that about?

[water dripping]

[slow, hopeful music]

[floorboards creak]

[coughs]

- Oh! - [items clatter]

Oh.

I just heard.

So embarrassing.

No, no, no. It's not the end of the world.

Although, if it isn't, I would hate to see what is.

[Rebecca laughs]

I had...

a big dream of moving to the Great Northwest.

Our journey here was hard.

It was so much harder than I thought it was going to be.

And you know what kept us going that whole time

was talking about what life was going to be like

in our new boardinghouse.

The Northwest and the boardinghouse

became one big dream for me and Sarah.

In my experience,

dreams are only good for breaking your heart.

I really don't know what I'm gonna do.

Do you have any family near here?

How far are you from home?

Too...

too far.

Uh, and I can't- I can't go back.

Why not?

Where I come from,

people with money can take whatever they want,

and, uh, it's not safe for Sarah and me.

Oh.

Well, I'm not sure how much safer it is here.

I mean, we get all sorts.

There's a place called Union City a few days away.

You could probably get work there.

Doing what?

Oh, you got medical experience, don't you?

Not enough.

Then maybe you could

pitch a tent and try your luck panning for gold.

Oh, you never know.

Howdy, Hattie.

Lars.

Oh, how are you holding up, Rachel?

I'm fine. Baby's not due for another month.

Well, what can I do for you?

Well, um... we were uh,

we were wondering what we could get for this watch.

It's in working order.

Oh, yeah, I could see that.

Uh...

I can give you $7.00

We were hoping for more.

Our provisions are running low.

I'll throw in a pound of bacon,

two pounds of flour and a sack of beans.

We'll take it.

Okay. Let's go get your payment.

I'll be right with you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Rebecca?

The fella who told you this was no good.

But from a selfish perspective,

I thought the boardinghouse was a good idea

It would bring in more business.

Except it was never anything more than that, an idea.

[thunder rolls]

[Rebecca] How was your time with Peggy's children today?

I just read my book.

Why didn't you try and make friends?

Because we don't know who we can trust anymore.

Right, Mama?

Come here.

Come on.

What about you?

Don't worry about me.

How was your day?

Fine.

[Tom] There's nothing fine about this weather.

Can you do me a favor?

Take these.

Come with me.

It's not getting any drier out.

As long as it's a favor.

How's your daughter doing?

Sleeping soundly.

It's probably been a while since she slept on a real mattress.

You tell her about the boardinghouse?

No.

I feel so foolish.

Oh.

I get the sense you're nobody's fool.

I bought something that doesn't exist.

I figured it was a decision made in haste

with a certain measure of desperation.

Guess I'll never see that money again.

There's no law out here.

But I get the feeling you already knew that.

She doesn't have a mama?

Unfortunately not.

She seems pretty hungry.

Well, she doesn't lack for appetite.

I could use a little break.

Wanna help me out here?

I don't know how.

I'll show you.

Come here.

- Take a seat here. - Okay.

- Hold this. - Okay.

You wanna keep the nozzle pointing down.

Hold on tight.

- Okay. - There you go.

Look at you.

- She's really hungry. - Oh, yeah.

[Tom chuckles]

You're a natural.

Back home, we didn't have cows.

You miss home?

Sometimes, but my mom and I have a plan.

[Tom] Plans are good.

But sometimes... they change.

My mama says we can do anything once we set our mind to it.

Look at me! I'm feeding a cow!

[Rebecca] Oh!

You are feeding a cow. Wow.

I need a word alone with Sarah.

Well, I think that calf has had its fill.

I'll take it from here. Here you go.

Is the wagon ready? Are we leaving?

There's just something I need to show you.

This is nothing like it's supposed to be.

I know.

I don't understand. Why did they lie?

Because people lie sometimes.

They just do. There's no accounting for them.

I'm sorry.

I put you through a lot the last few months.

You've had to grow up fast.

Maybe too fast.

Everyone has to grow up sometime.

We're gonna figure this out.

How? What are we gonna do? Where will we live?

We will maybe try our luck in Union City.

What if that doesn't work out either?

- Well- - [Lars] Hattie! Help!

Lars, what on earth?

It's Rachel. She-

she thinks the baby's coming! You gotta help me.

Wha- I've never delivered a baby before. Rebecca!

Have you ever delivered a baby before?

A baby? No, I've just seen my husband do it, but-

Your daughter can stay with my daughter, Olivia.

She'll be fine with me. Come on.

[Lars] We need to go.

Please. Come on. Please.

Come on.

I'll be back as soon as I can, sweetheart.

[Rachel] Why isn't my baby coming?

[Rebecca] It can take time.

I'm here, Rachel!

We know what you're going through.

That's right, Rachel.

Yeah, but don't you worry, okay? Rebecca's here.

[Rachel sobbing]

I'm scared. I'm scared.

[Rebecca] It's all right.

Everything's going to be okay.

You're about to experience

more joy than you ever thought possible.

When you've got that baby in your arms,

you're going to forget all about this pain.

Could you massage her lower back?

I think that may help the pain.

Yes. Okay.

I'm gonna check you.

Okay. Okay. You're looking good.

All right. When you're ready,

and you feel that contraction, push as hard as you can.

[breathing hard]

Yes, you've got it.

This is taking too long. I'm coming in!

Stay out!

Beautiful. The baby's almost here.

Baby's coming.

[baby crying]

[clapping]

[joyful music]

Come meet your beautiful son.

Edmond.

But we'll call him Ned.

Ned Yost is a fine sounding name.

He's gonna make something of himself.

[serene music]

Let's let them sleep a little while longer.

[pensive music]

So what are you going to do?

I don't know.

I've had my share of setbacks in life.

You know what keeps me going?

Hmm?

My daughter.

I figure to raise a strong woman, I got to be one myself.

I need to clear my head.

No, you go on. We'll look after Sarah.

Thank you.

Whoa.

[gasps] Whoa.

[peaceful joyous music]

Hiyah. Come on.

[peaceful music]

[Tom] Rebecca!

What are you doing here?

You've been gone all night.

I delivered a baby at the Prospectors' Camp.

Never a dull moment with you, right?

Where's Sarah?

She's asleep at the Trading Post.

Are you worried about us?

No. I was just... curious.

You said this is a hard life.

It most certainly is.

It's so beautiful, though.

A land of new beginnings.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking that...

of all the choices I could make,

the only one that matters is what's best for Sarah.

Good morning.

[joyous music]

[inspirational music]

[door bells chime]

[Sarah] Mama!

There you are, sleepyhead.

What are you doing?

Just thinking about which window should be ours.

Ours? You mean we're staying?

Everything that we've dreamed about, we can still have.

Really?

This is gonna be a bigger job than the wheel.

[laughs]

It is.

We can do it.

[Peggy] Rebecca.

Nash said Tom was worried about you, so we came looking.

[laughs]

We're all right. Thanks for checking.

All right.

Can we go play?

All right then.

Ready to get to work?

Ready. Well, first thing that I need you to do

is go over there and see if you can play with those kids.

- But I want to help you. - I know, I know.

But we take care of each other, right?

This is me taking care of you.

Please?

Mama, I...

You need this.

Go.

[Jenny] Why don't you

take a turn?

There we go.

[tender music]

Thank you for all the help that you've offered us.

I'll be by to pick up my wagon soon.

Sometimes you have to cut your losses and move on.

Who said anything about moving on?

I came to open a boardinghouse, and that's what I intend to do.

This ain't no boardinghouse.

It will be.

It's like you said,

prospectors are coming more and more every day.

And they will leave as soon as the gold is gone.

I'm betting they won't.

With all due respect, I think you're making a big mistake.

You know, change is here, Mr. Moore,

whether you like it or not.

Oh, I'm fine with change.

So long as it doesn't affect me, this territory, or my ranch.

I hope you hold on to your hat.

I will.

[Doyle] Hey you! Rancher!

What's the problem?

You can't tell Hattie not to sell me dynamite.

Well, it turns out I can.

You're bound to hurt somebody.

Well, the only person getting hurt here is you.

Hey, come on now.

[Tom] There are women and children here.

Be careful.

[fighting grunts]

Hey, that's enough!

[Tom] This is my land.

[Alexander] Hey!

That's enough.

Who are you?

I'm Constable Alexander Vaughan, member of the new police force.

[Tom] Police force?

The North-West Mounted Police.

Never heard of you.

Well, now you have.

Well, out here, ranchers take care of their own business.

Troublemakers included.

[Alexander] Not anymore.

I represent the law, and no one is above it.

THIS SEASON ON HOPE VALLEY 1874

You the one who

bought that wreck?

It's a boarding house.

Seems like everywhere I turn,

something else is falling down.

You're not going to let a little

thing like money stop you,

are you?

I'm going to see this through.

Well, I guess that puts us

on opposite sides.

Do there have to be sides?

It's going to be beautiful.

The government are going to

publish sketches of

the frontier.

They're looking for drawings

that capture the promise

and romance of

what█s out here.

If someday you have the chance

to do something

bigger with your life,

you should jump at it.

Are we really safe now, Mama?

Yes, sweetheart.

I think we finally are.

Folks been finding

gold in this new stream.

Get off my land!

Who says it's your land?

More gold means more criminals.

Run!

Sarah!

Mama!

I just thought this far out west

no one would ever find us.

You brought her

across the frontier,

and you built a home on nothing.

You have no shortage of courage,

Rebecca Clarke.

Same to you, Mr. Moore.
