Previously on Hope Valley 1874

I came to open a boarding house 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, uh, 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 boarding house.

Deal.

You gotta wonder what brought them out here, though, huh?

Sure they got their reasons.

There's no law out here.

But I get the feeling you already knew that.

Thanks for coming to help with the pillowcases.

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?

Hmm.

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.

You know, this year's been so hard for you.

It's scary.

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

It's alright to be happy.

Let's feel that way together then.

Relax.

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

Okay.

That one's got a strong will.

Gonna take a while to break him.

I just gotta get him to trust me first.

Whoa.

I'm going to go find Jenny.

Alright, I'll be back for you soon.

Alrighty.

He's beautiful.

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

Hmm.

How's the leg Nash?

I can feel it healing.

You're 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 boarding house fixing up the walls and patching up the roof.

Looks like everything's working out just the way you want so far.

It is.

You still have doubts?

About you opening?

No.

About 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 boarding house

doesn't work out, yet future is a ranch ant.

Ha!

You 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 we're some kind of big city bank.

Mind you, Frank never knew about the gold rush.

Hello.

Ah, Becca.

Oh, look at this.

Yeah, it's something, isn't it?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, Alexander here persuaded me that under my petticoats in my bottom drawer

is an adequate protection for my valuables.

Ah.

Well, unfortunately, more gold means more criminals.

Ah.

Here goes nothing.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, the instructions say three turns right, two turns left, and one more turn right with these numbers.

Ah.

There.

I feel better.

Mrs. Clark.

Hmm?

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 a supply wagon from Benson Hills.

That was bad news?

No, no, just, um, an old friend.

I am here for tomatoes.

I need four cans, please.

Coming right up.

All right.

Let's, mm-hmm

Er, of me,ven.

know. Ooh.

Ooh.

Is there

hope in the valley?

I, I wanna see it come alive

I wanna see you come alive

There's 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 Territory, 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

Hey, here you go

Oh, thank you

Thank you

Olivia

Hey, 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

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 career

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, can you come back in a little bit?

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

Sure

Yeah

Oh

Come in

Come in

Go to the mess tent and 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

Alright

The board is sure going to appreciate these on their beds

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 going to do with all this hay?

Um...

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, my...

I thought you were making pillows

We are

We've just got to get some tree moss

Can I let him 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 mean, not surprised though

Seems 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 sketch pad just in case

No, no

Oh, Clayton

This is beautiful work

Every contour is just perfect

Yeah, 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 in Douglas Furs down by the stream that's good for that

Let's go

Have fun

Hey, Will

Hey, Rebecca

Hi

Hey, have you seen Alexander?

Uh, I saw him at the boarding house earlier

Everything all right?

I just ran into a little problem with my new safe

I can't find a combination

It's with the instructions

And I cannot find them for the life of me

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 boarding house

Just to crack it open

Are you sure that there's nothing worrying you about that letter?

I, I, uh

Sometimes just feel like no matter where I go, trouble follows

Yeah, you and me both

This mall's 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 boss 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 because 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 upriver around the bend

Take this with you

Golly, thanks

Yeah

You better get going

It's a long walk

Nuh-uh

I know a shortcut

Why did you give him our gear?

Ah, don't you fret

That was my unlucky pen

And I didn't want him to see this

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

Maggie

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 Moort 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

And then brush

Here

You try it

Oh, no

No, I'd ruin it

I'll make sure you know

All right

Take it slow

Nice and easy

Not too much pressure

See?

Just takes a gentle touch

Um

Rebecca's going to be so thrilled with the table

It's gonna have charm and beauty that'll grace the room

I suppose you're 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

Here, you're looking for me, Hattie

Yeah

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

Huh?

Sam?

Where is he?

Boop!

Stop playing around

We're supposed to be getting moss

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 sour

It's this way

Excuse me, can I trouble you for a saddle?

I got it

I'm coming with you

Fine

Thank you

Thank you

For what it's worth, I didn't encourage them they go off on their own all the time

Sarah doesn't

You're going to be fine

You don't know that

There's no need to worry

Out here they have a little more free reign

I'm sure you remember what it was like when you were a kid

Exploring

I have good reason to be concerned, all right?

Over there

Yeah

He's packing up, don't want any trouble

Neither do I

They'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 them one of my old pans

Told them to give it a shot

Doyle

Where'd you send them?

I just told them to follow the stream until they reached the bend

Well, the boy said he had a shortcut

Over up to the woods

Okay, let's go

Hold on

It's gonna be dark soon

It's gonna be dark soon

Thank you

Are you gonna keep giving our stuff away?

What?

Here we go

Pete

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 you're asking me for?

I ain't done nothing

Word is you've got the right

Or should I say wrong kind of friends

Well, I ain't 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

You're sorry

I'm hungry

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

Ron!

AIM!

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!

Now 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

I don't know which way is home

Okay

We should just keep moving

But how are we supposed to know where we're going in the dark?

Okay

Okay

Let's go

Let's go

Let's go

Meggie, 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 them if it wasn't for this

Of course you would

Sarah!

Your trail's 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 is that?

What is that?

What is that?

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!

You

They're not down there. Look, there's no slide marks little 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

Thought if I put enough distance between us

She would be safe she's still in danger and I just keep failing

Rebecca we are going to find those kids come on

I

Is this working?

Okay, how long is this gonna 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 a dollar

Just for opening the safe

What when did you learn to do that when I read the instructions

You didn't memorize the combination. 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

But I suggest we change the combination now as well

No offense

So I'm taking it

So, uh, do I still get my dollar?

No

Okay

I'm cold

Well, they 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 turned out fine

Okay

Did it?

We made it here, didn't we?

I'm sorry

Maybe we should make a fire

We'll saw a pod do it once

Okay, let's do that

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, 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 really sorry about today

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

And uh, 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

That's quite the feather in her cap

You know, she's a remarkable young woman

So creative, so many ideas

She's

You must be very proud

I couldn't be prouder

No

Good night Hattie

Good night

Good night

Come on.

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?

It's okay.

Sam!

Jenny!

Sam!

You okay?

I'm so good.

I'm so hungry.

Okay?

The Wolves.

No!

Get out!

Get out!

No!

Out!

Out!

Out!

Out!

Out!

Did you hear that?

It's the rain.

Go.

Go!

Go!

Go!

Come here!

Come here!

Come here, okay?

Mama?

Sarah?

Mama?

Sarah?

Go on!

Get out of here!

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.

You're there.

You're okay.

Whoa.

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.

I'll look at you.

Are you okay? You okay?

You're safe now, okay?

You're safe now.

I'm okay.

Here, 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.

And you acted brave?

For me?

That's my job.

Be brave for both of us.

Thank you, Mama.

Should we put this in too?

Oh, yeah.

That's a good idea.

Congratulations.

Hm?

I hear people from all over are gonna 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, so...

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.

Go.

Oh, no.

No, no.

No, no, no.

Okay.

Hey.

Wow.

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.

Okay.

Look, there's something I've been wanting to say that'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 gotta be pretty bad, and it's your business.

It's Jim's parents.

It never approved of me, and that's why they're trying to take Sarah.

I won't write to that.

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.

Then you wanted to get as far away as possible.

So you bought a boarding house.

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, warm, and you built home on nothing.

Nobody could do more to protect their child.

I'm 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.

The one right here.

To learn how to protect her people to

You
