- COME ON! COME ON, NOW!

- HO! HO! HO, HO!

- IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE I LEFT MY HOME IN THE EAST

AND TRAVELED WEST WITH THE MAN I LOVED.

I WAS POSITIVE ABOUT MY FUTURE--

FULL OF HOPES AND DREAMS.

OUR EYES WERE ALWAYS ON THE END OF THE TRAIL,

AS IF LIFE AS I

VISI WOULD BE JUST THAT.

IN FACT, IF SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME

THAT I WOULD FIND MYSELF HERE TODAY,

I WOULD HAVE CALLED THEM CRAZY.

I WAS SURE OF MYSELF AND WHERE I WAS HEADED,

STUBBORN, FULL OF PRIDE.

I WAS IN CONTROL.

OR SO I THOUGHT.

- QUIT ACTING LIKE A KID, MARTY. GET BACK HERE.

- NO.

NOT UNTIL YOU ADMIT THAT I AM RIGHT

AND HEAD THIS WAY.

- WE'RE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

- WE'RE GOING NORTH!

- MR. GRAHAM SAID TO GO NORTH.

- HE SAID TO GO NORTHWEST.

DON'T YOU THINK IT'S STRANGE WE HAVEN'T COME UPON IT YET?

- WELL, WE'D BE THERE ALREADY

IF THE WEIGHT OF THESE BOOKS HADN'T SLOWED US DOWN!

- THOSE BOOKS WILL PROVIDE US WITH A LITTLE CULTURE

ONCE WE GET SETTLED.

- OH, WELL, IT'S JUST TOO BAD

WE CAN'T EAT ANY OF THAT CULTURE.

- UGH!

- THAT 200 POUNDS OF BEANS AND RICE

THAT WE HAD TO TOSS OFF THE WAGON TO LESSEN THE WEIGHT

WOULD TASTE A WHOLE LOT BETTER RIGHT NOW

THAN THE 200 POUNDS OF BOOKS WE GOT!

- NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED

IF YOU HADN'T TALKED ME INTO COMING OUT HERE

TO THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, AARON CLARIDGE!

WE BOTH KNOW

THAT YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING YOU DON'T WANT TO DO.

- FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, BE REASONABLE!

- I'M TIRED.

SICK AND TIRED OF THE DIRT

AND MILES THAT SEEM TO LEAD NOWHERE

AND THE LAYERS OF DUST ON MY SKIN.

ACHING FEET, ACHING BACK.

IF I NEVER SIT IN THAT WAGON AGAIN,

IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT BY ME.

- MARTY.

- I SEE.

- IT'S EXACTLY LIKE I PICTURED IT.

CAN YOU SEE IT? JUST OVER THERE.

- A CABIN.

WITH CURTAINS IN THE WINDOWS.

- A-A-AND OVER HERE, A BARN!

- AND A GARDEN, WHERE WE'LL GROW OUR OWN FOOD.

- THOSE TREES ARE JUST MADE FOR SWINGS FOR ALL THOSE KIDS

WHO ARE GONNA LOOK JUST LIKE THEIR MOMMA.

- I DON'T MIND IF THEY LOOK LIKE THEIR FATHER.

- WE DID IT.

WE ACTUALLY DID IT, MARTY.

THIS JUST FEELS RIGHT, DOESN'T IT?

THIS WILL BE THE PERFECT PLACE TO RAISE A FAMILY.

PASS DOWN THE LAND TO OUR CHILDREN

AND GIVE THEM OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE LIMITLESS.

- WE CAN DO ANYTHING,

AS LONG AS WE'RE TOGETHER.

- PROMISE ME...

THAT EVEN IF THINGS GET ROUGH,

WE'LL REMIND EACH OTHER OF THAT, OK?

- I PROMISE.

- DADBLAMEIT!

MARTY.

ONE OF THE HORSES GOT AWAY.

- OH NO, AARON.

- I'M TAKING THE OTHER HORSE, AND I'M GOING AFTER HIM.

SHOULDN'T BE GONE TOO LONG.

HE'S PROBABLY JUST A WAYS DOWN THE STREAM.

- I'M COMING WITH YOU.

- NO NEED.

I'LL BE BACK WITH THAT HORSE BEFORE BREAKFAST.

MAKE UP A LOT OF PANCAKES. I'LL BE HUNGRY.

GOT YA.

HYA!

COME ON!

HYA, COME ON! LET'S GO!

HYA!

COME ON!

COME ON, LET'S GO!

HYA, HYA!

UH!

MARTY.

- HO! WHOA.

MRS. CLARIDGE, BEN. BEN GRAHAM, MA'AM?

MET YOU A COUPLE DAYS BACK.

FOUND HIM ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.

- MRS. CLARIDGE.

CAN I GET YOU SOME WATER?

MA'AM!

MRS. CLARIDGE?

I GUESS YOU'LL BE NEEDING TIME TO...

TO THINK, UH...

MY WIFE WILL SEE TO YOUR HUSBAND.

THE PREACHER'S LEAVING TOMORROW.

I CAN BRING HIM BACK HERE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING,

SAY A FEW WORDS.

OH.

- WE'RE FINE.

WE'RE FINE. WE'RE FINE.

WE'RE FINE. WE'RE FINE.

WE'RE FINE.

HELLO?

MRS. CLARIDGE?

MARTY?

IT'S ME...

SARAH GRAHAM, BEN'S WIFE.

YOU MET ME A COUPLE DAYS AGO.

MARTY.

IT'S TIME.

WE NEED TO START YOUR HUSBAND'S FUNERAL.

WE DON'T WANT TO BE STARTING IT WITHOUT YA.

I CAN'T DO THIS.

- YOU HAVE TO DO THIS.

- I WOULD--

I WOULD APPRECIATE JUST-- JUST A MOMENT, PLEASE.

- WE'LL WAIT.

- AARON CLARIDGE

JOURNEYED WEST IN SEARCH OF A DREAM.

HIS UNTIMELY DEATH MEANS THAT ONE JOURNEY IS OVER

AND ANOTHER HAS JUST BEGUN.

- WINTER'S COMING,

AND THERE'S NO WAGON TRAIN HEADING EAST 'TIL SPRING.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'RE FIXED FOR MONEY TO BOARD IN TOWN,

BUT...

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION, AND SOON.

WELL...

YOU TAKE TONIGHT AND THINK ON IT,

AND BEN WILL COME CHECK ON YOU TOMORROW.

- THANK YOU.

- EXCUSE ME, MA'AM.

I'M CLARK DAVIS...

AND I'M TRULY SORRY ABOUT YOUR LOSS.

I HAVE A PROPOSITION FOR YOU.

I KNOW IT'S NOT THE RIGHT PLACE OR THE RIGHT TIME.

BUT I FIGURE IF WE MARRY,

IT'LL HELP SOLVE BOTH OUR PROBLEMS.

YOU'LL HAVE A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD,

AND ALL YOUR NEEDS WILL BE MET.

AND MY MISSIE? WELL, SHE'LL HAVE A MAMA.

I KNOW IT SOUNDS-- CRAZY.

AND THE TIMING'S UNLIKELY.

BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND,

THE PREACHER'S LEAVING THE AREA TODAY,

AND HE'S NOT GONNA BE BACK UNTIL SPRING.

AND I ASK THIS...

ONLY FOR MY DAUGHTER.

I'M THINKING...

THAT SHE NEEDS A WOMAN'S HAND...

IN PARTS OF HER LIFE.

I KNOW IT'S NOT THE PERFECT SOLUTION,

BUT WHEN THE WAGON TRAIN HEADS BACK EAST IN THE SPRING...

I'LL PAY THE PASSAGE SO YOU CAN GO HOME.

- IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.

I'LL LEAVE YOU TO THINK ON IT, MA'AM.

- COME ON, GET UP! - HEY!

- PA, I TRIED TO STOP THEM. - HEY, HEY!

MISSIE!

HEY! HEY, COME HERE!

HE STARTED IT, PA.

- COME HERE, YOU GET UP. GET UP!

- CLINT SAYS I GOT A NEW MA.

HE'S LYIN' TO ME.

- NO, SIR.

SHE POKED ME RIGHT IN THE NOSE FOR NO GOOD REASON.

- YOU'RE A LIAR! THAT IS SO A GOOD REASON.

- HEY! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?

- UH!

- APOLOGIZE.

- SORRY.

- SORRY.

- WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT FIGHTING WITH GIRLS?

- I AIN'T FIGHTIN' WITH NO GIRL.

IT'S JUST MISSIE.

GET INSIDE. GO ON.

NO WORRIES.

- COME ON, MISSIE.

WE NEED TO TALK.

WHAT ARE YOU UPSET ABOUT?

YOU ALL RIGHT

- I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.

I JUST WANT TO GO HOME.

- NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME.

THERE'S NO PLACE IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY

TO WASTE YOUR TIME CRYIN' OVER WANTS.

YOUR LIFE'S ABOUT NEEDS NOW.

YOU NEED A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD FOR THE WINTER.

NOW, THAT'S WHAT YOU BARGAINED FOR.

- WE ARE HERE TODAY, GATHERED IN THE LORD'S NAME,

TO JOIN THIS MAN AND THIS WOMAN IN MARRIAGE.

PLEASE JOIN HANDS.

WILL YOU, CLARK DAVIS,

TAKE MARTY CLARIDGE TO BE YOUR LAWFUL WEDDED WIFE?

- I WILL.

- AND WILL YOU, MARTY CLARIDGE,

TAKE CLARK DAVIS TO BE YOUR HUSBAND?

- COME ON, NOW, LET'S GO.

- JUST ANSWER "I WILL."

- I WILL.

- THEN I PRONOUNCE YOU MAN AND WIFE.

- BUDDY. COME HERE, BUDDY.

- I'LL BRING IN YOUR TRUNK.

THIS IS THE BEDROOM YOU AND MISSIE WILL BE SHARING.

I'LL GET MY THINGS MOVED INTO THE LEAN-TO.

- MORNING.

SAVED YOU SOME HAM.

I'M--I'M NOT MUCH OF A COOK, BUT IT'S USUALLY PRETTY FILLING.

- I'VE NEVER SEEN NOBODY SLEEP SO LONG.

I THOUGHT SHE MIGHT BE DEAD.

- MISSIE...

GO AND WAIT FOR ME IN THE WAGON.

GOT SOME THINGS I NEED TO TEND TO.

I'LL BE TAKING MISSIE WITH ME.

I WON'T BE BACK 'TIL SUPPER.

BYE.

HYA! HYA!

- SHE'S SLEEPING AGAIN.

- MM-HMM.

LET'S GO HAVE OUR SUPPER.

- PA...

IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

- NO.

BUT SHE WILL BE.

COME ON.

- COME ON!

COME ON! COME ON!

COME ON!

AND BLESS THIS DEAR CHILD

IN HER TIME OF GRIEF.

AND BLESS THIS FOOD BEFORE US,

AND WE THANK YOU FOR THE FINE DAY AHEAD OF US, AMEN.

- YOU GOT AN AWFUL LOT OF PRETTY DRESSES.

SEEMS LIKE YOU GOT AN AWFUL LOT OF FANCY THINGS

THAT AREN'T GOOD FOR MUCH ANYTHING AT ALL.

- WE FETCHED YOUR WAGON FOR YOU YESTERDAY,

AND WE BROUGHT IT INTO THE BARN.

- WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH ALL THEM BOOKS?

- I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY FOOD THAT WOULD SPOIL

WHEN I WAS STACKING UP YOUR THINGS.

- WE PLANNED ON BUYING SUPPLIES AS SOON AS WE FOUND OUR LAND.

- THE BOOKS MUST BE PRETTY IMPORTANT TO YOU.

I'LL SEE IF WE CAN FIND SPACE FOR THEM IN THE CABIN.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU'RE EXPECTING FROM ME.

- COME WITH ME.

MISSIE'S 9 YEARS OLD.

SHE WORKS ALMOST AS HARD AS I DO, SUN UP TO SUN DOWN.

HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST COUPLE YEARS.

SHE NEVER COMPLAINS.

BUT THE WORK IS STEALING HER CHILDHOOD.

SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S MISSING.

BUT I DO.

MAYBE IF SOMEBODY'S THERE TO SHARE THE CHORES,

SHE'D HAVE TIME TO LEARN

SOME OF THE THINGS I THINK YOU COULD TEACH HER...

THINGS SHE'D LEARN FROM HER MOTHER.

- AND WHEN I GO HOME IN THE SPRING?

I FIGURE I'LL CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN I COME TO IT.

- THE BOOKS.

HOW DID YOU KNOW THEY WERE MINE AND NOT AARON'S?

- OH, WELL, A MAN WOULD HAVE THROWN THEM OFF THE WAGON

AT THE FIRST BIG HILL

UNLESS HE WAS TRYING TO PLEASE A STUBBORN WOMAN.

I THOUGHT YOU COULD USE SOME HELP.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO DO?

- YOU MAY NEED A PLACE TO STAY, BUT I DON'T NEED A MOTHER.

PA AND ME BEEN DOING JUST FINE.

- I'M A LITTLE UNSURE ABOUT WHAT TO DO.

WHY DON'T YOU SHOW ME

HOW TO GET THOSE EGGS OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THEIR...

YOU KNOW.

- SPELL "COW."

- K-A...

- CLOSE. IT'S C-O-W.

- GERTIE DON'T CARE IF I KNOW HOW TO SPELL "COW" OR NOT.

- GERTIE DOESN'T CARE, BUT I DO.

AND SO DOES YOUR PA.

SO, LET'S TRY ANOTHER ONE.

SPELL "FUN."

- F...

HOW DO YOU SPELL "WARM"?

W-A-R-M.

- I THINK YOU BETTER W-A-R-M YOUR HANDS.

- WELL, HOW DO YOU EXPECT GERTIE

TO GIVE YOU GOOD MILK

WHEN YOU'RE FREEZING HER LIKE THAT?

CAN PROBABLY SPELL "MILKING," BUT YOU SURE CAN'T DO IT.

HOW'D YOU GET TO BE SO OLD

WITHOUT NOT KNOWING HOW TO DO NOTHIN'?

- OOPS! I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN TO.

- I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE MEANING TO DO, MISSIE!

NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME!

- YOU'RE NOT MY MOTHER, AND I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU!

- AS LONG AS I AM HERE-- - I DON'T WANT YOU HERE!

- I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU! I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE EITHER.

BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS

I MADE A BARGAIN WITH YOUR FATHER,

AND I INTEND TO KEEP MY END OF THAT BARGAIN,

EVEN IF YOU DO EVERYTHING SHORT OF TRYING

TO KILL ME IN THE PROCESS.

SO, THE WAY I SEE IT,

IF I CAN SURVIVE TRAVELING FOR MONTHS IN A COVERED WAGON,

LOSING MY HUSBAND, MARRYING A COMPLETE STRANGER,

I CAN SURVIVE YOU.

- FINE. - YEAH, FINE.

I RAN INTO BEN AND SARAH GRAHAM IN TOWN TODAY,

AND THEY WERE ASKING AFTER YOU.

- THAT WAS KIND OF THEM.

- ACTUALLY, THEY INVITED US ALL TO THEIR ANNUAL GET-TOGETHER.

- IT IS.

YOU SEE, THE GRAHAMS HAVE A PARTY THIS TIME OF YEAR

SO FOLKS CAN GET TOGETHER

BEFORE THEY'RE STUCK INSIDE FOR THE WINTER.

WE'D UNDERSTAND IT IF, YOU KNOW, YOU WEREN'T UP FOR A PARTY.

BUT IT'S UP TO YOU.

- YEAH. YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T LIKE IT.

THERE'S TONS OF PEOPLE YOU WON'T KNOW.

YOU'D PROBABLY JUST LIKE STAYING HOME BETTER.

DON'T YOU THINK, PA?

- I THINK I WILL GO.

- GOOD.

- I JUST NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

- MISSIE'S ASLEEP, AND I'M READY FOR BED.

CAN'T WE TALK TOMORROW?

- WELL, THAT'S JUST IT.

I WON'T BE HERE TOMORROW.

I'M-- I'M LEAVING BEFORE SUN-UP.

GOING TO HELP OUR NEIGHBOR.

- FINE.

- WAIT, IT'S--

- I'LL BE LEAVING MISSIE HERE WITH YOU.

- THAT IS WHY I'M HERE.

- YEAH, I, YOU KNOW,

I JUST WASN'T SURE IF YOU WERE UP TO DEALING

WITH A SPIRITED--

- I'M FINE. SOMETHING ELSE?

- NO-- YEAH.

I'LL BE BACK BY SUPPER.

- FINE. GOODNIGHT.

- GOOD-- NIGHT.

MISSIE?

MISSIE?!

MISSIE, ANSWER ME! WHERE ARE YOU?!

MISSIE?

MISSIE!

- YOU BETTER GET OUT OF HERE.

WHY DON'T YOU COME DOWN SO WE CAN GET TO WORK.

- OK.

JUST AS SOON AS HE LEAVES.

JUST COME DOWN SLOWLY.

I'VE READ THAT THEY WON'T SPRAY UNLESS THEY FEEL THREATENED.

- YOU READ THAT IN ONE OF YOUR BOOKS?

- UH-HUH.

- I DO.

- WELL, NOT ME.

I'M STARVING, AND I GOTTA USE THAT OUTHOUSE SOMETHIN' FIERCE.

BUT I'M NOT COMING DOWN.

- BUDDY, NO!

OH! OH!

- GUESS HE FELT THREATENED.

- UH.

UGH!

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS GOING TO TAKE THE SMELL AWAY?

- MORE OR LESS.

SOME OF IT'S JUST GOING TO HAVE TO WEAR OFF.

- MMM. MMM.

- THE FIRE'S DYIN'.

- I AIN'T SUPPOSED TO. I COULD BURN MYSELF.

- SOMETHING'S BURNING.

- OH NO.

OH!

OH! DAGBLAMMIT!

OUCH!

- LET ME HELP YOU. HOLD ON. HOLD ON.

HOLD ON. MISSIE, GET ME SOME BUTTER, WOULD YOU?

COME ON, SIT DOWN.

- IT'S FINE. - NO. YOU SIT DOWN HERE.

I'M GOING TO WRAP IT UP NOW.

- OH, HERE.

THANK YOU.

- IT'S NOTHING, REALLY.

- OK. HERE NOW.

THIS WILL JUST TAKE SOME OF THE STING OUT.

- THE PANCAKES ARE ALL BURNT.

- HERE YOU GO.

LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW, YOU'LL GET THE HANG OF THAT STOVE.

IT JUST TAKES A LITTLE PRACTICE, THAT'S ALL.

SO, WHERE'D THE SKUNK FIND YOU?

- THE BARN.

- BETTER GET SOME MORE TOMATOES, PA.

TOOK ALMOST A WHOLE BUSHEL TO GET HER SMELLING THIS GOOD.

- WELL, I'LL SEE WHAT WE'VE GOT FOR SUPPER IN THE ICEBOX.

MISSIE, WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND STOKE THAT FIRE.

I'LL TRY TO GET ALL THE THINGS ON YOUR LIST FOR YOU

WHILE I'M IN TOWN.

YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO GO WITH US?

- NO!

SHE SAID SHE DON'T.

- DOESN'T.

- HOPE YOU CAN MAKE SOMETHING BETTER THAN BURNT PANCAKES.

TOO BAD I'LL BE GONE,

'CAUSE I CAN MAKE SOME REAL GOOD FRIED CHICKEN.

I'M READY, PA.

- MM-HMM.

WE'LL SEE YOU SOON.

IF A CHILD CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS.

COME HERE, CHICKIE.

COME HERE.

UGH! UGH! UGH!

COME HERE! COME HERE!

DAGBLAMMIT!

"PULL FEATHERS OUT WITH THE GRAIN."

YOU BETTER BE WORTH IT.

- HUH.

- LOOKS LIKE A COYOTE GOT IN THERE.

- MORE LIKE A WILD WOMAN WITH AN AXE.

- GOOD. YOU'RE BACK. SUPPER'S READY.

- YOU MADE FRIED CHICKEN.

GOOD, BECAUSE I WAS GETTING AWFUL SICK OF PAN--

ME TOO.

- SURE WON'T WANT TO HAVE TO WASH ALL THAT.

- I LEFT HALF MY THINGS AT HOME.

- IT'S KIND OF WASTEFUL, DON'T YOU THINK?

- TO HAVE SO MANY.

YOU CAN ONLY WEAR ONE DRESS AT A TIME.

- SURELY YOU MUST HAVE SOME DRESSES OF YOUR OWN.

- ONE FOR WHEN THE REVEREND PASSES THIS WAY

AND HOLDS A SERVICE.

LIKE I SAID, YOU CAN ONLY WEAR ONE DRESS--

- AT A TIME.

- MY MAMA MADE BEAUTIFUL QUILTS.

HERS WOULD PUT THIS HERE PATTERN TO SHAME.

SHE MADE QUILTS FOR ALL THE NEIGHBORS

WHEN THEY HAD THEIR BABIES.

- I'M SURE THEY APPRECIATED THAT.

- FOLKS LOVED MY MAMA,

ESPECIALLY MY PA.

THAT'S WHY HIS EYES AIN'T SPARKLY LIKE THEY USED TO BE.

- SHE CERTAINLY WAS BEAUTIFUL.

- SHE WAS THE PRETTIEST THING YOU EVER SAW.

EVERYBODY SAID SO.

- YOU MUST MISS HER VERY MUCH.

OH, LORD!

- I'M SORRY.

OW!

OH! - OOH!

UH!

- ON HIS SUNDAY WALKS.

IT'S HIS TIME TO BE ALONE AND TALK TO THE LORD.

- I BET HE HAS A LOT TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT THIS MORNING.

- I THINK I'LL TAKE

A LITTLE WALK OF MY OWN.

YOU ALL RIGHT HERE BY YOURSELF?

- I PICKED THIS DRESS

BECAUSE I KNOW PINK IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR.

I LOVE IT WHEN YOU WEAR PINK, MAMA.

YOU ALWAYS LOOK SO PRETTY.

THERE. LETTING IN THE SUN WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.

I-- I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DIDN'T LET ME COME HERE, MAMA,

BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE SAT HERE JUST LIKE THIS.

AND I WOULDN'T HAVE MADE YOU TIRED OR SAD.

I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT I LOVED YOU.

AND I MISS YOU.

- YOU WERE SPYING ON ME!

- NO.

- YOU'RE LYING, I SAW YOU.

YOU WERE WATCHING. HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?

- MISSIE, I DIDN'T MEAN TO BE THERE.

BUT I DO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE FEELING.

- DON'T SAY THAT! YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'!

- I DO WANT TO HELP YOU.

- I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP!

I HATE IT THAT YOU'RE HERE.

I WAS FINE BEFORE YOU CAME.

I WISH IT WAS SPRING SO YOU WOULD LEAVE.

- I DIDN'T MEAN TO. I--

I WAS COLD. I--

I DIDN'T MEAN TO WALK IN ON HER LIKE THAT.

- I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. I MEAN, ABOUT LAST NIGHT, I...

I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO WALK--

- I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING.

I CAN'T STAY HERE.

THAT LITTLE GIRL HATES ME.

YOU WERE RIGHT.

SHE DOES NEED A MOTHER,

BUT I'M NOT THE RIGHT PERSON.

SHE DOESN'T KNOW IT, BUT SHE'S STILL GRIEVING.

- THAT'S WHY YOU'RE THE RIGHT PERSON.

- IT'S JUST NOT GOING WELL.

- IT'S GOING JUST THE WAY I THOUGHT IT WOULD.

I MEAN, I KNEW SHE WOULDN'T LIKE IT AT FIRST.

- BECAUSE I LOVE HER.

AND SHE NEEDS MORE THAN I CAN GIVE HER.

- SEEMS LIKE AN AWFUL LOT OF TROUBLE TO GO THROUGH

FOR JUST A FEW MONTHS OF LESSONS AND LETTERS AND SEWING.

- NOTHING'S A WASTE OF TIME

THAT ADDS TO THE PERSON THAT YOU ARE.

AND I'M COUNTING ON THE FACT THAT KNOWING YOU IS GOING TO ADD

TO THE PERSON THAT MISSIE WILL BECOME.

I KNOW YOU CAN FIND A WAY TO GET THROUGH TO HER.

- BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I PRAYED FOR.

MAYBE I WILL.

- MM.

- WE'RE READY.

- YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL, MISSIE.

THANKS, PA.

WHOA!

WHOA.

- GONNA CATCH FLIES

WITH YOUR MOUTH HANGING OPEN LIKE THAT.

- FEBRUARY.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

- WHEN ELLEN WAS EXPECTING MISSIE,

SHE'D HOLD ONTO HER BELLY, LIKE YOU JUST DID.

- OH.

I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU.

THE BABY WON'T BE A PROBLEM,

AND I'M SURE IT WON'T CHANGE THE FARE

FOR WHEN I GO HOME IN THE SPRING.

YOU MUST BE THINKING I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU.

- ACTUALLY, I WAS THINKING I'M GLAD

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE ONE.

TO REMEMBER HIM BY.

- AND THE LAT--

I-Y...Y-G...

WAG-OUL.

- KEEP TRYING TO SOUND IT OUT.

- IN THE...WAGON.

- GOOD.

- TIRED OF TRYING.

IT'S TOO HARD, AND I DON'T NEED TO READ ANYHOW.

- OK, FINE.

- NO. NOT IF YOU DON'T LIKE ADVENTURES.

- READING AIN'T NO ADVENTURE.

- ONCE YOU CAN READ,

YOU CAN HAVE EVERY ADVENTURE YOU EVER DREAMED OF.

IN THE PAGES OF A BOOK, YOU ARE...

A PRINCESS IN A TOWER

OR THE BEST SHOT IN THE WEST.

IN THOSE PAGES, THERE ARE NO LIMITS

TO WHERE YOU CAN GO, WHO YOU CAN BE.

NO ONE WILL EVER TELL YOU YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO SLAY THE DRAGON,

BECAUSE IT ALL HAPPENS RIGHT HERE WHERE IT'S SAFE.

I GUESS IT WOULDN'T HURT NONE TO PRACTICE A LITTLE BIT MORE.

- I'LL BE BACK.

- OK, PA.

- I THINK A WALK WILL DO ME GOOD AS WELL.

- PA!

- WINTER'S COMING ON WITH THE SUBTLETY OF A SNAKEBITE.

IT'S WHITE OUT.

- SHE WENT WALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU DID.

- IF I'M NOT BACK HERE IN 10 MINUTES, YOU USE THE GUN.

YOU OPEN THE DOOR WITH TWO HANDS,

RAISE IT ABOVE YOUR HEAD.

YOU KEEP FIRING UNTIL YOU SEE ME, ALL RIGHT?

WHATEVER YOU DO, YOU DON'T LEAVE THAT DOOR.

COME HERE. IT'S ALL RIGHT. IT'S GOING TO BE FINE.

GOING TO BE FINE. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

MARTY!

MARTY!

MARTY!

MARTY!

MARTY!

MARTY!

MARTY!

MARTY!

MARTY?!

MARTY.

- AH!

- SHE'S ALL RIGHT. GO BACK TO SLEEP.

GO ON AND GET SOME REST.

- HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE GONE AFTER THAT HORSE.

IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

- THANK YOU, FATHER, FOR THIS FOOD

AND THIS SHELTER AND THIS COMPANIONSHIP.

AND AS WE COME INTO THE SEASON OF THE BIRTH OF YOUR SON,

PLEASE MAKE OUR HEARTS THANKFUL THAT HE CAME, AMEN.

I LOVE CHRISTMAS.

AND I ALREADY KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU, PA.

HE'S ALWAYS TRYING TO TRICK ME

INTO TELLING HIM.

BUT I'M SMARTER THAN THAT.

- YES.

- SO WHAT DO YOU DO TO GET READY FOR CHRISTMAS AT YOUR HOUSE?

- WELL, ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS,

WE GO TO FRANKLIN'S AND PICK OUT A NICE PINE TREE.

- THERE'S PINE TREES GROWING IN THE CITY?

- NO. IT'S A TREE LOT.

SOMEONE HAS ALREADY CUT THEM DOWN.

- YOU DON'T GET TO PICK YOUR OWN TREE

AND SEE WHICH ONE SMELLS THE BEST,

WHICH ONE LOOKS THE PRETTIEST IN THE SNOW?

- NOT EXACTLY.

BUT WE FIND ONE WE LIKE,

THEN SOMEONE DELIVERS IT TO US.

THEN WE ADD TO OUR ORNAMENT COLLECTION

BY GOING TO PURCELL'S STORE.

THEY HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GLASS BALLS

AND RED RIBBONS TO PUT ON THE TREE.

WE MAKE HOT COCOA, DRINK IT BY THE FIRE.

- AND THEN YOUR PA READS YOU A CHRISTMAS STORY?

- UM, NO.

- WELL, IT JUST WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WE DID.

- CHRISTMAS WITHOUT A CHRISTMAS STORY.

WELL, WHEN YOU GET BACK,

YOU HAVE TO TELL HIM TO READ IT TO YOU.

- MY FATHER PASSED AWAY A COUPLE YEARS AGO.

- ACTUALLY, SHE'S... GONE TOO.

- SO WHO WILL YOU SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH

WHEN YOU GET BACK HOME?

- WELL, I USED TO HAVE IT WITH AARON, OF COURSE.

I HAVE AN AUNT THAT I'M CLOSE TO.

AND I HAVE FRIENDS THERE,

YOU KNOW, BACK HOME.

YOU CAN CERTAINLY HAVE CHRISTMAS WITH YOUR FRIENDS, CAN'T YOU?

I MEAN, THERE'S NO HARD, FAST RULE

THAT IT HAS TO BE WITH FAMILY.

- WELL, YOU'LL HAVE YOUR BABY NOW.

YOU COULD SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH IT AND--

SUPPER'S GETTING COLD.

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE LESS TALKING AND A LITTLE MORE EATING?

ANYWAY, THE JOY OF THE SEASON IS-- IT'S A GIFT.

IT'S RIGHT THERE FOR EVERYBODY, RIGHT FOR THE TAKING.

DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU SPEND IT

OR-- OR WHO YOU SPEND IT WITH.

- 1, 2, 3. WE GOT IT. WE GOT IT.

- THEN SHE SAID, "YOUR MAJESTY,

PLEASE TELL ME, YOUR MAJESTY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO EAT SOME?"

- PUT IT AROUND.

- THAT'S RIGHT. OK, GOOD. GOOD.

AND AS YOU PROBABLY CAN GUESS RIGHT ABOUT NOW...

- MERRY CHRISTMAS, PA.

- MERRY CHRISTMAS.

- OH!

- MERRY CHRISTMAS.

- THANKS, PA.

- I LOVE YOU.

- "THERE CAME WISE MEN FROM THE EAST TO JERUSALEM.

"WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN THE KING OF JEWS?

"FOR WE HAVE SEEN HIS STAR GAZED

"AND HAVE COME TO WORSHIP HIM.

WHEN HEROD THE KING HEARD THESE THINGS..."

- WELL, YOU KNOW, FROM--

HASN'T YOUR PA EVER TOLD YOU?

- NO.

- MAYBE YOU SHOULD ASK HIM.

- DON'T YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR OWN BABY COME FROM?

- "CAME FROM." AND, YES, OF COURSE I DO.

WELL, IT'S THE SAME AS YOU.

MY HUSBAND AARON LOVED ME SO MUCH,

IT SPILLED OVER AND MADE A BABY.

- IT.

- THE LOVE.

I THINK THAT BUTTON IS STILL LOOSE.

- WOW.

- JUST THINKING ABOUT

ALL THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS CLINT HAS,

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF LOVE SPILLING OVER AT THE GRAHAMS'.

- INDEED.

- I WONDER IF MY PA COULD EVER FEEL THAT WAY

ABOUT SOMEONE AGAIN.

- HE COULD, I GUESS.

GIVE ME YOUR HAND.

FEEL.

- THAT IS SOMEONE WHO'S GETTING PRETTY IMPATIENT

TO GET OUT AND MEET YOU.

- I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST BACK PAIN THAT I WAS HAVING,

BUT NOW I'M NOT SO SURE.

- JUST STARTING TO.

- OH. - I THINK IT'S TIME.

- I'M GOING TO GO GET MISSIE.

- THERE IS NO WAY I AM LETTING YOU BE MY--

MY MIDWIFE!

FIND SOMEONE ELSE!

- THERE AIN'T NO TIME FOR THAT.

- "ISN'T"!

AND IT'S OK. I'LL MAKE TIME.

DID YOU DELIVER MISSIE?

- NO, NO. THERE WAS SARAH.

- BUT PA'S DELIVERED PLENTY OF COWS.

- THAT'S GOOD. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.

- I'M GOING TO NEED PLENTY OF HOT WATER.

NOW, YOU RUN OUT TO THE BARN AND GET MY SHEARS.

WE'LL NEED TO STERILIZE THEM. - NO, MISSIE, MISSIE!

DON'T YOU DARE!

- GO ON.

- I WOULD RATHER GIVE BIRTH IN A FIELD

THAN HAVE YOU IN HERE!

- BIRTH IS A-- IS A NATURAL EVENT, MARTY.

- OH, YOU FEEL WHAT I'M FEELING

AND TELL ME HOW NATURAL IT IS!

NOW, GET OUT!

OH GOD, I CAN'T DO THIS ALONE.

PLEASE HELP ME. PLEASE, PLEASE, HELP ME.

- PUSH. YOU'RE DOING FINE. YOU'RE DOING FINE.

PUSH, PUSH. - OH!

- COME ON, PUSH.

- YOU'RE DOING FINE.

YOU'RE DOING FINE, MARTY. COME ON.

- IT'S A BOY. COME HERE.

- YOU WERE MORE LOUDER THAN GERTIE

WHEN HER BABY CAME OUT.

- AARON LUKE.

AARON AFTER HIS FATHER. LUKE AFTER MINE.

IT'S AMAZING, ISN'T IT?

- THIS.

A POWERFUL LOVE THAT JUST SWEEPS OVER YOU.

- IT'S AMAZING.

WEATHER'S MIGHTY TEMPTING.

- I THOUGHT THE FRESH AIR MIGHT DO US BOTH SOME GOOD.

- MM.

- HE SEEMS TO BE ENJOYING IT.

- HEY.

IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE COMPANY COMING.

- GO AHEAD. YOU CAN DO YOUR CHORES LATER.

- WHOA, WHOA.

- HI, CLINT. LET'S GO PLAY.

- HO!

- HOWDY. - BEN, SARAH. WELCOME.

- YOU'RE LOOKING A LITTLE MORE RESTED

SINCE THE LAST TIME I PAID A VISIT.

- I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE HE'S ALREADY A MONTH OLD.

IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM POSSIBLE.

YEAH, THEY GROW WHEN YOU'RE NOT LOOKING.

BLINK, AND YOU JUST MIGHT MISS IT.

- THAT'S WHAT CLARK SAID ABOUT MISSIE.

- CLARK UNDERSTANDS AND APPRECIATES THAT.

HE SEEMS TO BE RIGHT FOND OF LITTLE AARON.

- I THINK HE IS.

I BET LITTLE AARON HAS YOU THINKING ON HIS PA

A LOT LATELY, HUH?

- HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY

AND PROUD TO HAVE A SON.

- BABIES ARE A TESTAMENT TO LOVE.

THEY'RE LIVING PROOF OF WHAT YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND

SHARE TOGETHER.

NOBODY CAN E

R CHANGE THAT.

I STILL SEE LAURA'S DAD

EVERY TIME HER CURLS ARE BOUNCING IN THE WAGON.

- NOT BEN, MARTY.

LAURA'S DADDY.

HE WAS MY FIRST HUSBAND, THORNTON.

I WAS A WIDOW. I HAD TWO LITTLE ONES.

WHEN I MET BEN GRAHAM, HE HAD 2 YOUNG'UNS OF HIS OWN.

I GUESS YOU MIGHT SAY

WE JOINED FORCES OUT OF SHEER NEED.

- BUT, SARAH, I...

YOU AND BEN, I JUST ASSUMED YOU LOVED EACH OTHER.

- OH, WE DO...

NOW.

I GOT MORE LOVE IN MY HEART FOR THAT MAN

THAN ANYBODY OUGHT TO BE ALLOWED.

I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU WHEN IT HAPPENED.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES LOVE ISN'T FIREWORKS.

SOMETIMES, LOVE JUST COMES SOFTLY.

- IF YOU TWO ARE THROUGH GABBING,

IT'S TIME WE BEST BE GETTING HOME.

- I WILL COME WHEN I'M GOOD AND READY, BEN GRAHAM.

- THAT'S FINE THEN.

CAN'T SAY FOR SURE IF THE BUGGY WILL STILL BE HERE

WHEN YOU'RE READY.

ENJOY YOUR PIE.

- ORNERY OLD GOAT.

NO! OH MY GOSH!

PLEASE, STOP!

STOP! STOP!

- PA! PA!

- STOP.

- YOU GOT YOUR LAUGH BACK.

- I THINK I DID.

- AARON'S CRYING.

- MARTY! MARTY!

- BARN'S ON FIRE.

STAY WITH THE CHILDREN.

- OH, PLEASE GOD...

IF YOU'RE REALLY THERE LISTENING TO ME, TAKE CARE OF CLARK.

PLEASE LET HIM COME OUT ALL RIGHT.

PLEASE GOD.

- COME ON, COME ON! HYA!

MARTY...

YOU REALIZE YOU LOST YOUR WAGON AND ALL YOUR POSSESSIONS

IN THE FIRE?

- I KNOW.

- I MADE YOU A PROMISE LAST FALL,

AND I INTEND TO KEEP IT.

I'LL BE GOING INTO TOWN SOON TO REPLACE THAT FEED.

AND, IF YOU'RE WANTING TO,

WE CAN SEE ABOUT YOUR WAY HOME.

- WE SHOULD PUT SOME OINTMENT ON YOUR HANDS AND WRAP THEM

SO THEY WON'T GET INFECTED.

HERE'S SOME COFFEE.

- THANK YOU.

- NEIGHBORS HAVE OFFERED TO COLLECT SOME LOGS

AND RAISE A NEW BARN.

BEN SAID HE'D TAKE CARE OF THE MILK COW,

FEED HER IN EXCHANGE FOR SOME MILK.

SO I'LL GET MY FEED BUILT BACK UP.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE FINE.

I PRETTY MUCH GOT IT WORKED OUT.

JUST KEEP PRAYING FOR ANSWERS.

- WHY DO YOU THINK HE'LL ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS?

- HE ALWAYS ANSWERS MY PRAYERS.

DID YOU PRAY FOR THIS?

- MARTY--

- DID YOU PRAY TO HAVE ELLEN TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU?

DID YOU PRAY THAT LITTLE MISSIE

WOULD GROW UP NEVER KNOWING HER REAL MOTHER?

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE GOD THAT YOU PRAY TO

WOULD LET SUCH UNTHINKABLE THINGS HAPPEN TO DECENT PEOPLE.

- COME WITH ME.

WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?

- OH, MISSIE CAN WATCH AARON FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

- WE'RE GOING TO CHURCH.

- HUH.

MISSIE COULD FALL DOWN AND HURT HERSELF

EVEN IF I'M WALKING RIGHT THERE BESIDE HER.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN.

SHE KNOWS, WITH A FATHER'S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE,

I'LL PICK HER UP, AND I'LL CARRY HER.

I'LL TRY TO HEAL HER.

I'LL CRY WHEN SHE CRIES.

AND I'LL REJOICE WHEN SHE IS WELL.

IN ALL THE MOMENTS OF MY LIFE,

GOD HAS BEEN RIGHT THERE BESIDE ME.

THE TRUTH OF GOD'S LOVE

IS NOT THAT HE ALLOWS BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN.

IT'S HIS PROMISE

THAT HE'LL BE THERE WITH US...

WHEN THEY DO.

I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO THE CABIN.

DO YOU WANT TO STAY A WHILE?

ALL RIGHT.

♪ ♪

WOULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR AND GET YOUR PA'S DIRTY CLOTHES?

YES, MA'AM, I WILL.

- OH, LORD.

- MORNING.

- GOOD MORNING.

- SMELLS GOOD.

EXCUSE ME.

THAT WET WINTER WE HAD

SURE DID MAKE THE GROUND SOFT FOR PLANTING.

I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU TURN A PAGE FOR 30 MINUTES.

- I CAN'T SEEM TO CONCENTRATE.

- YEAH.

I'M GOING OVER TO THE GRAHAMS' TOMORROW.

I'M GOING TO HELP BEN BRAND HIS NEW CALVES.

DO YOU WANT TO COME ALONG AND VISIT WITH SARAH?

- I DON'T THINK SO.

I SHOULD PROBABLY SPEND THE DAY PACKING.

IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME.

I'LL LET MISSIE KNOW.

MISSIE, COME HERE.

- OK, PA.

- I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

YOU KNOW MARTY'S LEAVING...

...I WANT YOU TO GO SAY GOODBYE.

- NO, SHE CAN'T GO.

I DON'T WANT HER TO GO.

SHE CAN'T. NO, NO.

- MISSIE.

EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE IN ORDER.

YOU'LL BE LEAVING SHORTLY.

I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE TO LEAVE.

- THEN STAY.

- I JUST CAN'T.

I WANT YOU TO HAVE MY BOOKS.

AND THIS.

MY MOTHER GAVE IT TO ME.

I MIGHT BE LEAVING,

BUT MY LOVE IS STAYING HERE WITH YOU.

PLEASE SAY GOODBYE TO SARAH AND BEN FOR ME.

I'LL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL THAT YOU WERE THERE THAT DAY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE.

GOODBYE.

BYE.

MIGHT AS WELL GET MY THINGS MOVED OUT OF THE LEAN-TO.

- OK.

FATHER...

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU BROUGHT MARTY INTO MY LIFE

ONLY TO HAVE HER LEAVE LIKE THIS.

I KNOW I DON'T ALWAYS UNDERSTAND YOUR PLAN.

BUT I ASK YOU

WITH A SHATTERED HEART,

PLEASE HELP ME TO ACCEPT IT.

AMEN.

MISSIE!

I'M GOING TO BRING MARTY BACK.

YOU DON'T LEAVE THE CABIN. I'LL BE BACK AS SOON AS I CAN!

HYA! HYA!

COME ON! COME ON!

- I'M GLAD TO BE LEAVING

THIS GODFORSAKEN PART OF THE COUNTRY.

- I WOULDN'T CALL IT GODFORSAKEN.

- HORRIBLE SNOWSTORMS.

- BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS. RICH SOIL.

- A WOMAN HAS TO BE CRAZY TO STAY.

CRAZY...

OR IN LOVE.

HO! HO!

MARTY! MARTY!

MARTY! MARTY!

MARTY!

WHO'S MARTY?

- HOLD UP, BOSS!

HOLD IT NOW!

- A MAN LOSES HIS WOMAN, HE GOES AFTER HER.

IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

- I THOUGHT YOU WANTED ME TO GO.

- I DIDN'T SEE THE NOTE.

- YOU DIDN'T TRY TO STOP ME.

- UNTIL TODAY.

DON'T LEAVE. STAY WITH US.

STAY WITH ME. PLEASE.

- BUT I HAVE TO STAY FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.

- STAY BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.

I-- I LOVE YOU.

- WELL, MAYBE I SHOULD STAY BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.

THAT'S A GOOD REASON, TOO.

WHOA.

- MAMA...
