Previously on When Calls the Heart Hazel Pike?

That's me.

It couldn't have been him. He was with me the night of the election.

He's said to be transferred from Granville Prison this week. Maybe I can

call in a favor, get him rerouted here for the night. We need more bidders for

the resort.

We're out of options.

Lawrence, I need to make a call to Union City Holdings Company for Bernhard

Montague.

First,

I take down your names, and then I collect the entry fee. Maybe the Tom we

once knew is the Tom Vold. What's wrong?

It's Tom.

He's gone.

Sweeney took off with all the money I've been sending him.

Did you get any sleep?

Not much.

Tom, we will find a way to make this right.

I'm surprised Nathan didn't just throw me in jail last night.

I don't have the money to pay everyone back.

Well, Nathan alerted the police in New York City.

Maybe they'll find this Sweeney character.

How could I have trusted him?

All those people handed me their money thinking they were going to the choir

festival. You couldn't have known that Sweeney was a crook.

There were signs.

All the big talk.

I just didn't want to see it.

Jack was right about me.

Nothing but a screw-up.

Tom, that is not how Jack felt about you.

Admit it.

You've had your doubts, too.

Thought I heard voices back here.

Hi.

Any news?

Good and bad.

They've got Sweeney in custody.

Oh, my goodness.

Tom, you hear that? They caught him. And they've recovered the money that Ned

wired to him.

This is such wonderful news. You can pay everyone back.

What's the bad news?

It seems Sweeney was a bit of a gambler.

That money raised by the other choirs, it's completely gone.

How much are we talking about?

Including travel funds?

$300.

Listen.

Tom, everything looks better after a good breakfast.

Why don't you go inside? I'll meet you there.

This is pretty bad, isn't it?

If Tom can't pay back that money, he could be charged with accessory to

fraud.

I'm so sorry, Nathan.

I should have listened to you.

I should have trusted your instincts.

You just wanted to believe in your brother-in-law.

There's no fault in that.

And besides, I trust your instincts too.

Is it just me, or is Goldie the most popular kid in daycare? She's just a

little social butterfly.

She hasn't even started talking yet. When that happens...

Oh, look out, world! Yeah, I wonder where she gets that from. Pretty soon I

won't get a word in edgewise.

Because I'll be too busy hanging on every gem that falls from your lips.

Nice recovery, Mr.

Co-Mayor. Charming as usual.

I'm meeting with Maisie Hickam today, so I'm going to need all that charm I can

muster. How about you? What are you going to tap this week?

Nothing.

Well, that doesn't sound like nothing.

Nathan has arranged for Clayton Pike to pass through Hope Valley on his way to

Granville Prison.

Bill and I are hoping to catch a word with him. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You didn't think to tell me any of this?

Lee, it is not a big deal. It's perfectly safe. He's literally going to

be behind bars.

Rosemary, you're needed at the church for an emergency choir meeting.

Another emergency?

Rosie.

It's an emergency.

A choir emergency?

So there is no festival.

There is a festival.

But that's not where your money went.

It went straight into Sweeney's pocket.

I'm sorry.

The good news is Nathan alerted the New York police in time.

You'll all be getting your money back.

Oh.

Wait,

what about the other towns?

I'm afraid Benson Hills and Jameson's money is gone.

Oh, those poor people.

But I will be contacting them to tell them that I accept full responsibility.

But Tom told me of a plan that he had to recoup

the money that was taken from the other towns.

Do you want to tell them the plan?

No, you go ahead.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Okay.

It's a fundraiser.

The plan is a fundraiser.

We're going to have a fundraiser.

Our very own choir festival.

And we're going to invite other choirs from other towns to come to Elk Valley.

This is a great idea. Let me see.

Lee and I can donate the Queen of Hearts as the venue. You could have choirs

singing all over town.

Great.

Splendid, in fact.

Nobody puts on a festival quite like Hope Valley.

We'll decorate.

The Valley Voice will promote it. So everyone is on board?

I think so.

Let's get busy. Where's my clipboard?

Shall we delegate?

Yes. Garlands? Yes.

Thank you.

Don't thank us yet. You're the ones who have to organize this thing.

There's lots more work to do.

Nice work, Constable.

Thank you.

I don't know.

Maisie, I know that we started off on the wrong foot. You mean when you

railroaded me into this town amalgamation?

And I prefer Mayor Hickam, Mayor Coulter.

Well, I would really like it if you called me Lee.

Mark my words, this resort will be a disaster.

Fine.

Agree to disagree.

But we still have a town, Warren. a merged town to run, so I would like to

propose that we talk about paving the roads.

Paving? Do you have any idea how much that costs?

As a matter of fact, I do have a quote right here.

Lee, I have the most exciting news. Oh, hello, Maisie. Oh, she prefers Mayor

Hickam. Oh, Rosemary may call me Maisie. Thank you, and I will, Maisie. So what

is it, sweetheart?

So... We are going to host our very own choral festival right here in Hope

Valley.

Voices of the Valley.

Oh, I just came up with that.

The Benson Hills Choir has already signed up for Salt Lake City.

Right.

You haven't heard.

Haven't heard what?

This really shouldn't come from me. Rosemary?

What is it?

All right.

It appears as though this J.B. Sweeney is a swindler and a con man, as someone

with an extensive background in theater such as myself can, and in fact did

predict.

Are you telling me that Tom Thornton's lost our money?

Yes.

I'm afraid that is what I am saying.

We do have a plan to get it back, though. Oh, wait until I get my hands on

him?

Excuse me.

Well, you're getting right to it, I see.

As soon as I can pull off this festival, soon we can get everybody's money back.

I just can't believe how nice everybody's being about this.

Mr. Thornton!

What is this I hear about you losing our money?

Uh-oh.

Mayor Hickam, I was going to call you tonight.

It's a simple question.

Maisie, give him a break.

Yes or no, do you have our money?

Well, um, no. Not right now.

Constable Grant, I want this man arrested for theft.

I don't think that's necessary.

We're going to raise the money to pay you back. And if you don't?

Then you can press charges.

What?

Very well.

But if our choir isn't refunded in full, then I expect you to throw this

scoundrel in jail.

You better get busy.

Come on.

Nathan, you're not actually going to put Tom in jail, are you?

Let's hope it doesn't come to that

Excuse

me

Would you know where I might find Joseph Canfield you can try the cafe down the

way perfect. Thanks

Or the church.

Nathan! Bill!

Any news?

Well, the train arrived 20 minutes ago. It shouldn't be long now. When Pike

arrives, I need you two to stay back. I need to make this look as routine as

possible. Of course. Don't worry.

They won't let anybody know that you had Pike come through Hope Valley for us.

And if we didn't say it already, thank you for sticking your neck out for us.

Well, my neck's been in worse places.

Oh!

Rosemary.

The two of us might overwhelm him.

Nonsense.

You catch more bees with honey.

Put yourself at home, Pike.

I'll go grab you some grub.

Oh, this is Judge Avery and Mrs. Coulter.

You're a judge. That's right.

Mind if we chat?

Sure.

Lovely day we're having.

I mean, about your case.

What's there to talk about?

I'm heading up the river for the next 20 years.

End of story.

That's not your story, is it?

What are you on about?

We've looked at the evidence, Clayton. May I call you Clayton?

We know you couldn't have shot Governor Bouchard.

Were you?

I'm Rosemary Coulter, editor-in-chief of the Valley Voice. I actually... I spoke

with your mother.

Yeah, I heard.

I told her she shouldn't be traveling by herself.

She's worried about you.

She doesn't understand why you're going to prison for something you didn't do.

She doesn't get it.

No, she doesn't.

She doesn't know that if you didn't agree to take the fall, she wouldn't be

able to have the surgery she so desperately needed.

We know you were paid to confess.

We also know you did it because you're a good son who loves his mother very much.

Tell us who hired you, Mr. Pike.

Maybe we can help.

I wonder what's for lunch.

Hi. Hi.

You busy?

I was just grabbing some lunch. Why?

Well, the choir could use another tenor.

Okay. Okay.

I seem to recall someone boasting about having a lovely singing voice on a

certain camping trip last year. I wouldn't exactly say boasting.

So I can't twist your arm?

You know, you should ask Bill.

Are you volunteering him?

Although, I think he's more of a soprano.

We should offer a special. Cookie and lemonade for two cents.

So that's what they cost anyway.

Sure. But if people think they're getting a deal... Excuse me.

Can I try one of your specials?

Sorry, but we're setting up for tomorrow.

You wouldn't happen to be Angela and Cooper now, would you?

Yes, sir, but who are you?

I'm your Uncle Jacob.

You came?

It's so good to meet you both.

Who wants to taste?

Jacob. Minnie.

It's so good to see you.

You look great. Thank you. It's been too long.

Come on, Uncle Jacob.

Let's go and get a cold drink.

He actually came.

The letter worked.

Look who we found.

You should have told us you were coming.

Well, look at you.

You haven't changed.

Guess I could say the same.

Well. Mama always told us to tell the truth.

We had so much to catch up on.

You were still on that haberdashery out in Aberdeen.

How did you know about that?

Been keeping tabs on my little brother as best I can.

Uncle Jacob, how long can you stay?

Well, that depends, son.

On what?

On whether your father's prepared to apologize.

Now, Jacob, I told you in my letter, I can't apologize unless you

tell me what I'm supposed to apologize for.

Well, if you don't know, there's no point in me trying to tell you.

Jacob, wait.

I know Joseph isn't perfect, but he is a good man, and he misses you.

Well, he's got a funny way of showing it.

Tell me what happened between you two.

It doesn't matter.

What's done is done.

But you used to be so close.

It was always you and Joseph, standing side by side, singing in that church

choir. I lost my love for singing a long time ago.

I haven't stepped foot in the church for 20 years.

Oh, Jacob.

I'm gonna miss the next train. Jacob!

You've come all this way. You should get to know your niece and nephew.

Angela's playing piano in the choir festival tomorrow.

You've always been kind to me, Minnie.

And I would love to get to know... Angela and Cooper, but I don't think

that's the best idea right now.

Well, perhaps you'll reconsider.

Now, my finest moment.

I'm sorry.

It's not me you should be apologizing to.

Minnie! I know he's stubborn and impossible.

But aren't you a little too?

He brings out the worst in me.

Seems like you have that effect on each other. He lost so much when he lost you.

He just told me he hasn't been back to church in all these years.

It's me he's mad at.

Why is he giving up on God?

If he's too stubborn to bend, shouldn't you?

I've been trying to fix this for 20 years, Minnie.

I don't know how.

But you do know who to ask.

By the sea, by the sea, you and

I.

Don't stop.

No good without Angela on the ukulele. And I'm useless on the guitar.

Well, here.

To me.

I'm going to take it from the top. Right? I said, see?

By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea.

You and I, you and I, oh, how happy we'll be.

And he said he wouldn't join the choir.

Let's go sing, too.

I think this is a special moment just for that money bear.

Why don't we give him some privacy?

Joseph?

Henry.

Just let me disturb you.

Maybe you are the answer. How's that?

Answer to my prayers.

Well, I doubt that.

Henry, you know more about forgiving and being forgiven than just about anybody I

know.

Can I ask you to help me understand something?

I don't know.

Try.

It's about my younger brother, Jacob.

Somehow, years ago, I hurt him, and he wound up hurting me right back by

cutting me out of his life completely.

You asked his forgiveness?

I would if I knew what I did.

What does it matter?

To know whether I do owe him an apology.

I mean, you hurt your brother somehow, didn't you?

If you regret hurting him, what does it matter the reason why or how?

Your family.

I'm sorry for what happened to you.

All I want to know is why.

If I tell you, I'm a dead man.

And if you don't, am I?

Everything's set up, ready to go. What if they don't come? It is short notice.

They'll come.

I have faith. I just got word from the station.

And are there many people?

It was standing room only.

That is wonderful.

Oh, this is going to be incredible. We need to warm up. Yes.

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do.

I'm half crazy, all for the love of you.

It won't be a stylish marriage.

He can't afford a carriage, but you'll look sweet

upon the seat of a bicycle built.

For two.

Lawrence and Ned Yost, everyone.

On behalf of myself, Mayor Coulter, and Mayor Hickam, who, along with the Benson

Hills Choir, is preparing to dazzle your ears, I would love to welcome you to our

first annual Voices of the Valley Festival.

Thank you.

That will suit you nicely.

Wow. Thank you.

Enjoy the festival.

Thank you.

Uncle Jacob!

Well, well.

Look who's here. Hi, Uncle Jacob. Hi.

Wow, Cooper.

You know, you look exactly like your father did when he was younger.

Well, we thought you'd left.

Well, your mother told me Angela would be playing the piano.

And I wouldn't miss that for the world.

Oh, good.

because I'll be playing in 15 minutes in the library down the street. Is that

right?

Well, I'll be sure to be there then.

Thank

you,

everyone. And please don't forget to show your appreciation of this fine

music and donate.

Tom, congratulations.

Looks like you got a real hit on your hands. Thank you.

And thanks for getting me out of this jam.

Hey, Mounties look good for our own.

Yeah, but I'm not a Mountie.

Well, no, your brother was.

And your dad.

You know, you and Jack would have really liked each other.

I wish I'd known him.

You and Elizabeth.

Tom, I... I just wanted to say that I'm really glad she has someone like you in

her life.

She deserves it.

Thanks.

Look at this turnout. You'll have the money paid back in no time.

What's that saying about not counting your chickens?

Mama, look.

Candy apples.

Oh, my.

You know what?

Here you go, Jack.

Say thank you. Thanks, Valentine.

I don't remember saying yes.

Yeah, but you were gone.

How'd you manage to wander in here?

Your children said Angela would be playing the piano.

Only I don't see a piano.

They told me this would be a nice, quiet place to work.

That your Sunday sermon?

How you know I'm a pastor?

You're not the only one capable of keeping tabs, brother.

Jacob, will you sit with me so we can talk?

You know it was Cooper and Angela that sent you the letter, right?

Yeah, I figured as much.

Because of the handwriting.

So why'd you answer it?

I suppose I hoped fatherhood had changed you.

Look, Jacob, I don't know how I hurt you.

Wait, wait, wait. Look, what I'm trying to say is, what I'm trying to say is,

obviously, I did hurt you.

And for that, I'm deeply sorry.

And then he tells me that you gave up on music and on church.

For that, I'm sorry, too.

You really don't remember, do you?

Remember what, little brother?

Please help me.

It all changed after Granddad died.

He was the one who helped us find our voices, Joe.

Together, remember?

But it obviously didn't mean much to you.

I stopped singing with you after I met Minnie.

Sounds silly when you say it out loud, but, uh... You felt abandoned.

I couldn't do it without you standing beside me on that stage.

It connected us. It helped me through missing granddad.

I had space in my heart for many, for both of you.

But you just didn't need me anymore.

Oh, Jacob, that is not true. Stop!

It's too late, Joseph.

It's too late.

Jacob.

When a parishioner tells me it's too late, I tell him, God doesn't punch a

clock.

He's always there to see us through all the things that we think are impossible

to overcome.

I wish I could believe that.

You used to believe.

You can again.

If you're willing to try.

Come on now.

Goodbye, Joseph.

I really enjoyed meeting Angela and Coop.

It's been nice to see how close they are.

Clayton, please.

This is your last chance.

If there's anything you want to tell us. Look, be smart and stop asking so many

questions.

Did Montague hire you to shoot the governor?

All you need to know about the guy behind this is he's got eyes everywhere.

If I rat him out, he'll get to me. Even inside prison.

He'll go after Mother, too.

The Mounties wouldn't let that happen.

We'd arrest him.

You don't get it.

Not even the Mounties can touch this guy.

Leave this alone, please.

Or he'll come after you, too.

He's terrified.

Is Bernard Montague capable of instilling that much fear?

We don't really know what he's capable of.

This is from the flea market table and the food stall. Hi. How are we doing?

Amazing. We've collected $100.

Well, that's great. There may be another $100 in here. A hundred more. Tom here

is a free man.

Ah, there you are.

Where's our money?

Well, we have enough to pay back the Benson Hills Choir.

And what about Jameson?

We are working on it.

Maisie, give Tom a chance.

I have given Tom more chances than he deserves.

I'm going to find that constable.

Whoa, what's this all about?

We're a bit short to pay Jamis in the money they were swindled out of.

By him!

Maisie, for the last time, it wasn't Tom's fault.

How much are we short?

Well, a little under $100.

Well, Henry and I were actually just discussing the governor's cultural fund.

I think we could use that to make up the difference, right?

Certainly. Well, I hardly think that's appropriate.

Well, on the contrary, that's what it was intended to be used for, to support

the cultural endeavors of the territory.

There we go.

Settled. Are you happy?

Happy's a stretch.

Lucas, thank you.

It's what I'm in office for. Now, I believe the festival finale is about to

begin. Oh!

Let's go. You did your best. You apologized to Jacob.

Yeah, but...

It wasn't good enough. Give him time.

Maybe he'll come around.

Thanks.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry we're late.

Oh, you're just in time. It's all right. Good afternoon.

We hope you've enjoyed our very first Voices of the Valley Festival.

For our finale, the Hope Valley singers would like to sing one of our all-time

favorites. It's Uncle Jacob.

Jacob, welcome.

Everyone, this is Joseph's brother.

Joseph's brother?

Hi, I'm just here to see Angela play.

We'd love if you'd join the choir.

We could sure use another tenor.

No, I couldn't.

It's Amazing Grace.

Oh, thanks.

Ready? One, two, one, two.

Amazing grace, how sweet the

sound that saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost, but now

I'm found.

I'm found, was blind, but now I see.

T'was grace that taught my heart

to fear and grace my fears

relieved.

How precious did

Come and help me in the kitchen please kids.

Next year can I join the choir?

Why wait until next year? Because it's baseball season.

Well, yeah.

Hey, man's got to have his priorities straight.

Oh, hey. Oh.

I'm sorry I was so thoughtless.

It's all right.

I just missed you so much.

It didn't seem like you missed me at all.

I did.

Hey, from now on, we'll never miss each other again.

Love you, Joe.

Love you, little brother.

Let's eat.

I heard that.

Think you can still out-eat me?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Dear Lord, thank you for this amazing meal.

Thank you for introducing me to my wonderful niece, nephew.

And thank you, Lord.

For giving me my brother back.

Amen. Amen.

Please.

Would you like some candy?

Yes, please.

There you go.

Sweetheart? You look like someone who could use some sarsaparilla. Oh, Lee,

you read my mind. Huh?

Actually, give me that.

I think I know something you could use more than a sarsaparilla. Give me your

hands. Yep.

Oh, Lee.

Oh, you are the mayor. You are the consummate host.

And you tripped the light fantastic with the best of them. Is there anything you

can't do?

No. We'll find something, I'm sure.

I'll be looking.

Okay.

Well, you did it, Tom.

The choir festival is a hit. We all did this together.

So what's next for you?

First thing, I need to find myself a new job.

Well, I'm sure something wonderful will come along.

I know it.

Thanks, Elizabeth, for believing in me, even when you had no reason to.

The most important thing is that you believe in yourself.

I just received a call from Montague's office.

When were you going to tell me you were considering his bid?

She took my advice and called him.

You called him?

What were you thinking here? I mean, he is reviled in this town for good reason.

He tried to steal our water. Still, he has connections.

He was also the prime suspect in your shooting. Was. Bernard Montague is a

businessman.

He can get the job done.

I may not love his ethics, but technically speaking, he's never

operated outside of the law.

Using what dirty tricks?

That's why I need you to go over his bid with a fine-tooth comb. Ensure every

single detail is on the up-and-up.

Speaking of which, what were you able to find out about Jeanette's investors?

By accounts, they seem all on the level.

All of this just to avoid taking Janetta Coyne's bit?

What is it that I'm not seeing here?

I've asked you to trust me on that.

If you have doubts about her, then your most prudent action is to shut this

whole thing down.

That is not an option. You have made promises, and you will look weak if you

back down. Edwin, that is a story that you're telling yourself. Lucas, you can

always walk away.

The landscape shifted, Henry.

We've received word that Benson Hill's oil company will file for bankruptcy,

putting hundreds of men out of work.

It's not just about securing the future anymore.

The construction of the resort means jobs now.

So this is gonna go ahead with Montague's bid?

It's not a done deal yet, but it's one I would like to close, yes.

And remember, this stays between us.

He's a good man.

Tom, I... You don't have to explain anything, Elizabeth.

Not to me.

Care to dance?

May I?

Have fun.

Haven't you heard?

It's the 20s.

Wallflower, huh?

Well, nobody's asked me to dance.

I can fix that.

I never said yes.
