Previously on Hope Valley 1874.

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

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

Why do you stay?

Because it turns out I'm darn good at running a trading post.

Who'd have thought?

I'll plow your field and in exchange,

you give me the lumber I need for the boardinghouse.

Deal.

You wonder what brought them out here, though.

Sure, they got their reasons.

There's no law out here.

And I get the feeling you already knew that.

Thanks for coming to help with the pillow cases.

Do you think we have enough, Mama?

I think we'll need a dozen once we start boarding.

Okay, then I'll keep making them after Jenny and I

stuff these ones.

It's been really sweet watching you and Jenny get so close.

She's my best friend.

Mama...

Hm?

Do you think we'll ever have to leave here

like we did in Chicago?

No.

This is our home.

I'm afraid to feel too happy if we may have to go.

I know. I know this year's been so hard for you.

It's scary.

But it was all worth it because you're safe.

It's all right to be happy.

Let's feel that way together then.

Let's.

Just take him for a little walk in there, alright?

Okay.

Whew.

That one's got a strong will.

It'll take a while to break him.

I just got to get him to trust me first.

Woah.

I'm going to go find Jenny.

All right. I'll be back for you soon.

Alright.

He's beautiful.

And feisty, but the good ones are worth the time.

Hm.

How's the leg, Nash?

I can feel it healing better any day now.

Listen, take it easy.

You're still off it for a while.

Well, I haven't seen you around here for a while.

I've been at the boardinghouse,

fixing up the walls and patching up the roof.

Sounds like everything's working out

just the way you want so far.

It is.

You still have doubts.

About you opening? No.

But what happens after, we'll see.

We shall see.

We shall.

But the good news is,

you did such a good job plowing my field

that the boardinghouse doesn't work out,

you got a future as a ranch hand.

Ha!

?

Made the right choice, Hattie.

The amount of gold and cash

you must be handling these days,

you need a secure place to keep it.

Yeah. I wonder what my husband would have thought.

You know us with a real safe.

Like for some kind of big city bank.

Mind you, Frank never knew about the gold rush.

Hello.

Huh, Becca.

Oh, look at this.

Yeah, it's something, isn't it? -Mmhmm.

Yeah, Alexander here persuaded me

that under my petticoats in my bottom drawer

isn't adequate protection for my valuables.

Ah.

Well, unfortunately, more gold means more criminals.

Here goes nothing.

Okay.

The instructions say,

three turns right, two turns left,

and one more turn right with these numbers.

There, I feel better.

Mrs. Clarke... - Hm?

Can I stop by later?

I have something I'd like to ask you.

Certainly.

Wonderful.

Uh, Rebecca...

This letter came for you.

Oh. For me?

Yeah, with the supply wagon from Benton Hills.

[concerning music]

What is it, bad news?

No, no. Just...

an old friend.

I am here for tomatoes. I need four cans, please.

-Coming right up. -Alright.

? [vocalizing] ?

? Is there hope in the valley? ?

? I... ?

? I wanna see it come alive. ?

? I wanna see you come alive. ?

? Is a storm in the coming skies. ?

? I wanna be here when it dies. ?

? I wanna see Hope come alive. ?

? I wanna see you come alive. ?

Dear Rebecca, I am writing to you via general delivery,

Benson Hills, Northwest Territories,

as per your instructions.

I will keep this brief as the matter is urgent.

They are not giving up.

They know about you and Sarah heading west

on the Oregon Trail by wagon,

but rest assured,

they will never learn about your true plans from me.

Your devoted friend, Eleanor.

Okay, here you go.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

- Olivia. - Hm.

I was looking for my ledger.

Oh, Mr. Martell was in earlier, so I noted down some things

he bought on credit.

Then where did you put it?

Oh, I thought I left it on the counter.

No, you didn't.

You left it on top of the barrel of beans.

Well, if you already found it, why did you ask me?

Because I'm making a point.

I just need you to be a little more responsible.

Well, we can't all be perfect like you, Mother.

Wouldn't hurt for you to take on some of my qualities.

Oh, sorry. Hi Wanda.

Oh. Lucky strike.

I found a nugget.

I figure I'm best to cash it in quick.

Good idea.

Olivia.

Oh, Alexander.

Good morning.

I have some very good news that I got via telegram.

The government has selected a few of your sketches.

- Really? - Yes.

Oh, my gosh, I can't believe it.

I can.

You captured the frontier spirit perfectly.

Are they using the one I did of you?

Unfortunately yes, they did.

My face is going to be on the walls

of every government office

from Halifax to Victoria, so thank you.

Oh, this is so exciting.

None of this would have happened without you.

I like to think that I know talent when I see it.

I think this could be the start of an illustrious-

Clayton!

I have to tell Clayton!

Thank you.

Oh, just under an ounce.

Nice find.

Let me get you some money.

Problem, Hattie?

No, no, no. No problem.

Just, uh, looking for a piece of paper.

Huh?

Yeah. Uh, tell you what.

Um, could you come back in a little bit?

I'm just still trying to figure out this new safe.

Sure.

Yeah.

Oh.

Come in.

Mrs. Clarke, my word.

What you've done with the place since I first saw it,

it's remarkable.

Thank you.

I don't mean to be rude, Constable,

but I am on my way to go to the mess tent to serve lunch.

I won't keep you.

Later tonight, I'm leaving for about a week or two.

I'm wondering, is it possible to move in

upon my return?

I...

Well, that is just so hard to say.

I'm still furnishing the place.

Um...

I was really looking forward to sleeping

with a roof above my head.

I'm sure you were.

I'll do my best.

That's all I can ask.

Good day.

Okay. This one's almost done.

All right.

The borders are sure going to appreciate these on their beds.

Ugh.

[snoring]

[giggle]

It's kind of lumpy.

Oh.

Well, my mama sometimes uses tree moss inside pillows

to make them softer.

Let's do that and surprise my mama.

Okay.

Then what are we gonna do with all this hay?

Um...

[playful music]

[laughing]

Oh. Oh, my.

I thought you were making pillows.

We are.

We've just got to get some tree moss.

Can I come?

If he comes, he can help carry more moss back.

Yeah sure. Okay.

Let's go.

Clayton, you'll never guess what.

The government is going to use some of the drawings

I did for them.

Oh, that's amazing.

I'm not surprised, though,

since everything you touch turns out beautiful.

They're using the one I did of Alexander.

Oh.

Hey.

I'm following your design for the table

as close as I can.

Oh, so you don't want me to change anything?

I brought my sketchpad just in case.

No, no.

Oh. Clayton...

this is beautiful work.

Every contour is just perfect.

I, uh, just have to make another one to match it.

Would you mind if I watched?

I'm curious about your technique.

Sure.

Great.

Hi, Mr. Moore.

Hey, where are you three off to?

We're fetching tree moss for pillows.

Ooh. You know,

there is a stand of Douglas firs down by the stream

that's good for that.

Let's go.

Have fun.

We will.

-Hey, Rebecca. -Hi.

Have you seen Alexander?

I saw him at the boardinghouse earlier.

Everything all right?

I just ran into a little problem with my new safe.

I can't find the combination.

It's with the instructions

and I cannot find them for the life of me.

Do you think they slipped behind something, maybe.

Honestly, I have looked everywhere.

Darn if they didn't just grow legs and skedaddle.

If I can't open that safe, I can't buy gold.

I wish I could help you.

I've got to pick up Sarah after I clean all this up.

- But maybe afterwards? - Thank you, no.

There's nothing you can really do

unless we drop it from the roof of your boardinghouse

just to crack it open.

Are you sure that there's nothing worrying you

about that letter?

I... uh...

Sometimes just feel like no matter where I go,

trouble follows.

Yeah. You and me both.

This moss is perfect.

Hey look, prospectors.

I thought you were helping.

Finding any gold?

I don't see how that's any of your business.

My pa says prospectors

are just looking to get rich quick.

I'd rather get rich quick than slow.

Why are you swishing the water like that?

Gotta get the sand out 'cause the gold's heavier.

Don't you know anything about prospecting?

I do now. Can I try?

Don't touch that.

You know what?

There is a great spot for prospecting

just up river around the bend.

Take this with you.

Golly, thanks.

Yeah. You better get going, it's a long walk.

Nun-uh. I know a shortcut.

Why did you give him our gear?

Ah, don't you fret.

That was my unlucky pan,

and I didn't want him to see this.

[chuckles]

What?

Where are you going?

Sam, hold up.

Wait for us.

Sam.

Okay, and all done.

I just love that this was Jim's jacket.

I do too.

Let's try it on.

All right.

[sighs]

Wow.

Peggy, you've done such a beautiful job.

Thank you.

It's the least I can do after everything you did for Nash.

Well, it really does mean the world to me.

All right. How are the children getting on?

Fine.

I made them lunch and they went to the barn.

Let's go see how those pillows are coming along.

Okay.

?

Where'd he go?

Ma always says he's faster than a jackrabbit.

Yeah.

Is this still the Moore Ranch?

I guess so. It's an awful big place.

Yeah.

You're a wonderful craftsman, Clayton.

Oh. I just learned right.

You gotta shave it real thin.

Never rush.

Here. You try it.

Oh, no. I'd ruin it.

I'll make sure you don't.

All right.

Take it slow.

Nice and easy.

That's right.

Not too much pressure.

See.

It just takes a gentle touch.

Um, Rebecca's going to be so thrilled with the table.

It's going to have charm and beauty that'll grace the room.

I suppose your wanting to head back.

Your mom must need you.

I think I'll stay and watch a little while longer.

I'm sure my mother has everything under control.

[sighs]

Hear you're looking for me, Hattie.

Yeah.

Uh...

I can't get the safe open.

Combination should be with the operating instructions.

Oh, why didn't I think of that.

These new contraptions,

they can take some getting used to.

Right.

I can't find the instructions.

I have looked everywhere.

That is a problem.

Well, don't you Mounties have some kind of code

to open these things?

Well, no.

You're supposed to memorize the combination.

There has got to be a way to get into this thing.

I need my cash.

I couldn't even guess where to find the nearest locksmith.

Or safecracker.

Leave it with me.

Well, do I got a choice?

Nope.

That's odd.

I wonder where they went.

Sarah.

Jenny.

If you're looking for the kids,

they're off gathering moss for your pillows.

Oh.

I told them to check the woods down by the stream.

How long ago was this?

A couple hours ago.

A couple hours?

Yeah.

Well, they know to come back before it's dark.

They head off on their own all the time.

I'm... going to go look for them.

I'm going to go to the house in case they come there.

Okay.

Sam.

Where is he?

Boo!

Stop playing around.

We're supposed to be getting moss.

Not me. I'm going prospecting.

Shouldn't we be able to hear the stream from here?

It's that way.

It's this way.

[tense music]

Excuse me, could I trouble you for a saddle?

I got it.

- I'm coming with you. - Fine.

Thank you.

[sighs]

For what it's worth, I didn't encourage them.

They go off on their own all the time.

Sarah doesn't.

They're gonna be fine.

You don't know that.

There is no need to worry.

Out here they have a little more free rein.

I'm sure you remember what it was like

when you were a kid, out exploring.

I have good reason to be concerned, all right?

[horses neighing]

?

[Rebecca] Over there.

[Tom] Yeah.

We're just packing up. Don't want any trouble.

Neither do I.

We're looking for three youngsters.

Two girls and a younger boy?

Yes, you've seen them?

It's been a couple of hours.

The little fellow was pestering us,

wanting to prospect.

Sam wanted to pan for gold?

Well, what happened? Where did they go?

I gave him one of my old pans.

Told him to give it a shot.

Doyle, where'd you send 'em?

I just told 'em to follow the stream

until he reached the bend.

The boy said he had a shortcut.

They went up through the woods.

Okay. Let's go.

Hold on.

It's gonna be dark soon.

Thank you.

Are you gonna keep giving our stuff away?

What?

[cheerful music]

Here we go.

Pete.

It's Pete, isn't it?

What about it?

I'm looking for someone.

Someone with a particular set of skills

for breaking into a safe.

What are you asking me for?

I ain't done nothing.

Word is you've got the right-

or should I say wrong kind of friends.

I ain't a criminal so I don't got criminal friends.

You misunderstand me.

I need help to break into a safe.

Huh?

Well, if it's a safe cracker you're after,

you might want to talk to Harry over there.

He's a legend back in Tucson.

Tucson.

I'm hungry.

Okay.

Sarah, no! Baneberries are poison.

It's going to be dark soon.

This is all your fault, Sam.

What?

You're the one that sent us off in the wrong direction

from the stream.

Arguing won't help.

[bushes rustle]

[bushes rustle]

[tense music]

[growl]

Run!

[scream]

Hattie!

Found a volunteer to help you open your safe.

Thank you!

Happy to help, ma'am.

There we go.

Oh Sam, thinking he knows a shortcut.

It's just like him.

Sarah!

You know, they probably

got turned around walking in circles.

You're being awfully casual about this.

They're clearly lost and terrified.

Okay. Well...

Look at this.

They took moss from this branch.

Right this way.

Okay.

I-I don't know which way's home.

Hey, we should just keep moving.

But how are we supposed to know

where we're going in the dark.

Okay, let's- come on. Let's go.

Okay.

Peggy, you've looked out that window for the umpteenth time.

Where are they?

Tom and Rebecca will bring them soon.

I just wish there was something more

that we could do.

I'd be out there with him if it wasn't for this.

Of course you would.

Sarah!

The trail is still clear.

Jenny! Sam!

Rebecca, listen.

Listen, I just want to say I'm sorry that I didn't ask

if they had permission from you two before they left.

Thank you.

I'm worried about them too.

What- what is that? What is that?

What is that?

[gasps]

Jenny!

Jenny, sweetie!

Just wait.

There's small footprints here.

They change direction.

Which way?

Which way?

What is it?

Wolf tracks.

How many of them?

There's two.

Sarah!

Rebecca! Rebecca, wait! Don't run!

Sarah!

Rebecca! Slow down, slow down!

Sarah!

Sarah!

[gasps]

They're not down there.

Look!

There's no slide marks.

No clothes on the brush.

Where is my daughter?

I promised myself one thing, that I would keep her safe.

That nothing and no one could ever take her away from me.

Who would take Sarah?

Jim's parents.

What?

I just thought if I put enough distance between us,

that she would be safe.

She's still in danger, and I just keep failing.

[sighs]

Rebecca, we are going to find those kids.

Come on.

Is this working?

Shh.

Okay. How long is this going to take?

I've never done this with no expectation of a payday.

Let's say...

there's two bits in it for you.

Ma'am, you and me have different ideas

of what a payday is.

Hope you're not trying to extort this fine woman

in front of a police officer.

No, sir. We're just making conversation.

Extortion or no.

I will give you a dollar if you can open that.

[Olivia] A dollar?

Just for opening the safe?

[clears throat]

[safe door clicks]

When did you learn to do that?

When I read the instructions.

You didn't memorize the combination?

I-I didn't have time. I was busy.

Oh.

Maybe you could do it now.

Why did you lock these in the safe?

It was on the counter where anyone might have seen it,

so I put it in the safest place I could think of...

the safe.

Might I suggest we change the combination now as well.

No offense.

Some taken.

So, uh...

do I still get my dollar?

No.

Okay.

I'm cold.

Well, we could be at home eating supper right now

if it wasn't for you.

I'm sorry.

Hey, when mom and I were traveling in the wagon,

you know, I'd get scared sometimes,

but she said if we stayed calm and we were brave,

then it'd turned out fine, okay?

Did it?

Made it here, didn't we?

I'm sorry.

Maybe we should make a fire.

I saw Pa do it once.

Okay.

- Let's do that. - Okay.

I can't sit here and do nothing any longer.

I can't ride, but I can drive a wagon.

Nash- - Don't try and stop me.

Nash!

I'm coming with you.

This is how Pa showed me.

Why won't it work?

Here.

All right.

I know you can do it.

You're going to make us a nice fire.

It's working.

You did it.

Nice.

Okay.

Oh, Constable.

Hattie.

You're not heading out this late, are you?

I'm expected in Union City. Thought I'd get a leap on it.

Plus, there's moonlight, so.

Hey. I'm-I'm really sorry about today.

That's all right, Hattie. I'm happy to help.

And please tell Olivia that I said congratulations again,

would you?

Oh, for what?

Oh. I guess she didn't tell you.

The government selected a few of her sketches

for their advertising

to attract settlers to the Northwest.

It's quite the feather in her cap.

She's...

a remarkable young woman.

So creative, so many ideas.

She's...

You must be very proud.

I-I couldn't be prouder.

Night, Hattie.

Goodnight.

?

-Oh! -Hey!

Sarah!

I'm scared.

Me too.

I know.

Hey, if we sit closer, we'll be warmer.

Okay.

Okay. Come on.

It's okay, guys.

What if no one finds us?

Jenny!

Sam!

Jenny!

Sam!

Okay.

[wolves howling]

[twig snaps]

[growling]

The wolves!

Okay.

[banging and clapping]

- Help! - Get out!

Help!

Go away!

Leave us alone!

[distant yelling]

Did you hear that?

[distant yelling] Help! Help us!

-It's this way, here. -Go!

[distant yelling] Help!

[distant screams]

Come here, come here, come here.

[banging and clapping]

[Rebecca] Sarah!

- Mama! - Sarah!

-Mama! -Sarah!

[Tom] Go on, get!

Mama!

Get outta here!

Oh, sweetheart.

Guys, come here.

You're okay. Come here.

Come here. It's okay.

You're okay.

You're safe.

You're okay.

You're okay.

There, there.

Whoa, whoa.

What's that?

Is that them?

Look! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Mama!

My babies.

Mama!

Papa!

Papa!

Oh, my boy!

Come here. Come here.

Let me look at you.

Are you okay? You okay?

You're safe now.

You're safe now.

?

[Rebecca] A little cocoa to warm you up.

Tastes good.

Good.

You sleep okay? You're pretty tuckered out.

Yeah.

Mama.

When we were lost, I was scared,

but I didn't tell Sam and Jenny.

I told them what you said when we were in the wilderness

about being brave.

That's kind of you to be strong for your friends.

Were you scared when we were on the trail?

I was.

Then you acted brave...

for me.

That's my job,

to be brave for both of us.

Thank you, Mama.

Should we put this in, too?

Oh, yeah.

That's a good idea.

Congratulations.

Huh?

I hear people from all over are going to see your drawings.

That's- that's really something.

Alexander told you.

Yeah.

I was going to tell you earlier,

but you seemed really frustrated about the safe.

That I was.

I'm sorry.

You always have this place running so smoothly.

I just assumed that you had the combination memorized.

No.

You're right.

I should have memorized it.

And I know you were just trying to help.

Olivia.

You do not have to be more like me.

You are absolutely perfect the way you are.

[peaceful music]

[knocking]

Hi.

Hello.

Wow.

It's really coming together.

Um, she's...

Oh.

I was just...

coming by to make sure she's okay.

She's resilient, but exhausted.

How are you doing?

I'm all right.

I'm really grateful they're okay.

Yeah.

Look, there's something I've been wanting to say.

It's been weighing on me.

I saw the telegram

from Chicago when you first arrived.

You were right to leave when you did.

I wasn't poking about, I just...

happened to see it in your things.

- Who did you tell? - No one.

I swear.

I figured if it's got you running,

it's got to be pretty bad and it's your business.

It's Jim's parents.

They never approved of me,

and that's why they're trying to take Sarah.

What right do they have?

They don't, but they have money.

And as my mother-in-law loved to remind me, money is power.

When you can influence authorities,

you can take what you want.

That's why you don't trust the police.

Which is why I don't trust the police.

And you wanted to get as far away as possible.

So you bought a boardinghouse, sight unseen.

I just thought this far out west,

nobody would find us, they would certainly give up.

Apparently, they haven't.

You listen to me.

You brought her across the frontier and you kept her fed,

safe and warm, and you built a home out of nothing.

Nobody could do more to protect their child.

Just trying to do my best for Sarah.

If anyone comes here looking for you or Sarah,

they're gonna have to come through me first.
