Original subtitles

Previously on When Calls the Heart.

If little Jack ever wants to know more,

we'll find a way to tell him together.

To Mike and Mei!

They want to name the park after Goldie.

Goldie National Park.

I'm sending a recruit your way.

I'm Cadet Oliver Garrett.

Oh.

See if you can turn him into a Mountie.

Good morning, Rosemary.

Oh.

You look like you're on a mission.

Elizabeth, yes.

My radio program premieres tomorrow.

So exciting.

In theory, yes.

I still need a story.

Oh. What have you got so far?

Oh, that's the point.

- Nothing. - Oh.

But it's as I always say.

When the day is young, the worms will come.

Early bird catches the worm.

Yes, I follow.

Just wanted to make sure.

I believe in you.

I have no doubt.

Hi there, Allie. You're up early.

Angela and I wanted to go over our book reports together.

Oh.

But then Emily showed up, and they got to talking

about college and moving away next year.

Not much room for you in that conversation, huh?

It isn't easy watching your friends move on.

And I know it doesn't feel like it now,

but you will be joining them in the real world

before you know it.

I guess.

But Emily's known that she wants to be a teacher forever.

And Angela really wants to work with the blind.

I don't have anything like that.

Journeys don't always start with a destination.

I, uh... I better go work on my book report.

Okay.

Hi, Dad.

Hi.

Is everything all right?

Growing pains.

Early rounds.

I thought I'd come in and see how my cadet's doing.

Oh.

How is Oliver settling in?

Well, he's, uh... he's settling.

A rave review.

Oh!

Oh, he tries hard.

Some would say a bit too hard.

He's probably just nervous.

Nervous and overwhelmed aren't great traits

for a cadet in Mountie training.

Do you have any suggestions?

Sounds like he could use some confidence.

Maybe you could find him a win

that might get him on some more solid footing.

That's not a bad idea.

I don't know if anybody's ever told you this before,

but you would make an excellent teacher.

Can I walk you to school?

I would love that.

Valley Voice Radio Hour.

Our very own radio program right here in Hope Valley.

There is quite the buzz around town.

Well, now all I need is to find a story

for our inaugural broadcast tomorrow.

It's been a bit of a slow news week.

Have you two heard anything? What's the scuttlebutt?

Oh, Mrs. Tibbets' pig, Lord Squibbets

won the blue ribbon at the Buxton County Fair.

And there's the hazelnuts.

Yes.

Henry said the hazelnuts have bounced back

with abundance this year.

A pig. Hazelnuts.

I need something with a little more punch than that.

I'm trying to fill a whole hour.

- Mr. Yost? - Did they come in?

Right this way, gentlemen.

Oh, these comic books are quite the nuisance.

These kids will spend their last nickel on those things.

Lord Squibbets, you say.

I can pay you back with eggs from our farm.

Or scones from the café.

I'm sorry, fellas,

I only accept money that jingles or folds.

What about a tab?

You're kids. It's out of the question.

What is it that you boys want to buy so badly?

The new Captain Billy and Nancy the Genius Dog,

just released The Great Escape.

It's a comic book.

And you're... you're short, I gather.

Well, they've spent the last of their money

on the previous issues.

Well, I noticed that you have a delivery wagon

parked out back.

Maybe the boys can give you a hand...

- Yeah, sure. - Let's do it.

Great idea.

All right. But only until school starts.

- Yes. - Thanks you.

Slow down.

All right, everyone.

Who can tell me what Civics means?

I'll give you a hint, Governor Bouchard.

Toby.

Can you please tell me what is so engrossing

about these comic books?

I don't know.

I mean, they've got pictures and stories

and it's sort of magical.

And Civics isn't magical.

All right, then, we will just have to find

something that is.

Everyone put away your textbooks and meet out front.

And no comic books!

Should I gather the little ones from recess?

Thank you, Emily.

And please thank Molly for watching them

during Civics lesson.

Where are we going?

To exactly where we need to be.

Well, well, the newlyweds have returned.

Hey, Bill.

- Mei Sou... - It's Hickam now.

Oh, right.

Welcome back.

A day later than expected, but we made it.

Well, did you have fun? How was it?

Tell us everything.

Yes.

We had such a good time.

And we saw everything there was to see.

Well, all right then.

Long trip.

Maybe we should just let these two

settle into Hickam's apartment.

Yes. Let us know if you need any help.

Thank you.

Welcome home, lovebirds.

Thank you.

Thank you.

When do we tell them the truth?

Do we have to?

It wasn't so bad, was it?

No, it was great.

Up until the food poisoning.

Which wouldn't have been so bad

if they hadn't lost our luggage.

And the reservation.

But we're home now.

The worst is behind us.

So what do you say

we get you moved into our apartment, Mrs. Hickam?

Well, I like the sounds of that.

Yes.

All right. Send him in.

Edwin's here. Bright and early.

Yep.

Be nice.

He walked out on you when you were at your lowest.

Don't you forget that.

He's a savvy operator.

I'd rather have him working for me than against me.

Ah.

Now a good time, Governor.

Of course.

Have a seat.

Yep.

Well, I told you I would hear you out.

I realized that we didn't part ways on the best of terms.

You don't say.

Why don't you tell me why you're here.

May I be blunt?

Your poll numbers are underwater,

and your backers are sparse.

A park while a meaningful public gesture,

it won't get you the votes

from two out of to the big three.

The big three?

Urban, corporate and rural.

Two out of three

and you can get almost anything passed.

Not to mention re-election.

Right now. I can get you corporate

in return for the park's naming rights, of course.

The park is going to be named after my daughter.

Goldie.

Well, that is a lovely name, but a missed opportunity.

I happen to be very chummy with Gerald Irwin.

The Irwin family.

The industrialists?

One of the wealthiest families in the country,

named the park after the Irwins.

And there is the corporate vote.

I won't do that to Lee and Rosemary.

I've given them my word.

Thank you.

I completely understand, sir.

I suppose we'll have to find some other way.

May I get the wheels turning?

I think so.

Goodbye, Edwin.

Home sweet home.

It feels good.

Shall we?

Okay.

Oh, no.

What on earth?

The roof must have leaked.

Or maybe a window was left open.

Oh!

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

Now, as part of your Civics lesson for today,

your assignment is to discover some of the reasons

why parks like this are important.

For instance, why do parks offer us a place

for people to gather and for people

and nature to interact?

What can we learn from nature?

How does it inform our actions?

And then we'll all go back to the school together

and we can write about it.

But what do we write about?

Any ideas?

How the trees create shade.

How tadpoles grow.

Or a songbird calls?

The key is to identify why nature has value

and why we establish parks like this to protect it.

All right. We have a magnifying glasses and insect jars

and anything else you could possibly need.

So go and explore.

Just make sure I can still see you.

Okay, have fun.

Yay!

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Sorry, sir. I was just--

At ease.

What... what's going on here?

These arrived by Mountie Courier this morning.

I was trying to organize them for you at...

Yeah, in the future--

I know. Don't touch anything.

Very sorry, sir.

What I was going to say is in the future,

files and coffee don't mix.

Okay. Don't worry about it. Everybody makes mistakes.

Thank you, sir.

Shall I head over to the stables

and check on the horses?

Actually, um, Hargraves asked me to do a case comparison.

Why don't you, uh...

why don't you give me a hand with that?

Absolutely.

All right. Have a seat.

Now we're looking for similarities

between this new case file and these old ones.

Modus Operandi, suspect descriptions,

physical evidence, temporal patterns, things like that.

Do you understand?

I think so, sir. Thank you.

Don't thank me,

you're the one doing me a favor.

I'll, uh... I'll put your coffee over here.

Wow.

This is why Governor Bouchard's park

is so important.

Generations of children, just like you,

will be able to enjoy its natural beauty.

Hey, look at this.

What do you have there?

It's an animal trap.

It's pretty detailed.

I think it's a wolf.

A wolf?!

Oh, don't be scared. Wolves don't like humans.

Especially loud humans like us.

Roar!

Here. Try scaring off the wolves.

Scare 'em off.

I've never heard of wolves around here.

Could be a coyote or a fox?

I suppose we'll have to do some species identification.

There's a dichotomous key for large mammals

in the library.

A dichota what?

Dichotomous keys help us identify organisms

based on their characteristics.

We'll just have to find a way

to take the paw print home with us.

How?

That's a good question.

Uh, we can find some of the clay from that creek

that we just passed and use it

to make a mold of the print.

You're the cat's pajamas, Mrs. Thornton.

You really are.

More like the wolf's pajamas.

...Oh, wonderful.

Thank you so much.

You're making yourself at home.

Where's Lee?

Oh, I've organized some discussion groups for the park.

You know, the auxiliary club for the protection of nature,

their subcommittee on national naming designation.

And let's not forget the Boy Scouts.

Boy Scouts?

Well, they use parks.

Right.

There is someone I want you to meet.

I've already told you I'm not interested in changing

the name of the park.

No, it's not the Irwin family.

It's someone to help you with the rural vote.

Two out of three.

Come right in.

Thank you.

Governor, this is Miss Edie Martell

from the Cattlemen's Association.

Governor, thank you for seeing me.

Of course.

What can I do for you?

Well, I think there may be a problem

with your national park.

My late uncle used to own one of the ranches

just south of where you want to build your park.

I've tried stepping in,

but it turns out that ranching is much harder

than being a lawyer.

Uh. May I?

Yes, please.

Your proposed park land provides access

to a summer pasture.

It's called shared use. Common practice.

Knowing that we had access to extra grazing land

meant that ranches could expand their herd.

Without that, a lot of us would have gone under last year.

A blow to a crucial part of the economy.

This wasn't an issue when the land was being developed

as a resort.

Well, the area for the resort was quite a distance

from the area that we use.

Now, as much as we all love the idea of a national park.

The official designation would put an end to shared use

according to territorial law.

So what do you propose?

You carve out our summer pasture

and then the access points--

All that leaves us is a hill of rocks.

Oh.

Miss Martell, if we would find some kind of compromise--

-could we count on an endorsement

from the Cattlemen's Association in the future?

Well, please excuse my candor, but this isn't about politics.

This is about people.

If these ranchers go out of business,

hundreds of jobs go with them.

Cost of food on our dinner tables goes up.

Hope Valley has a mercantile, restaurants.

Talk to the owners, I'm sure they would agree.

It's good economics, Governor.

And if that means good politics, well then, even better.

Thank you for coming in. We'll need to discuss.

Thank you, Governor.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Are you saying I did it?

No, I'm just saying I know it wasn't me.

Careful.

Well, when we left, I distinctly remember

asking you were all the windows closed.

Yes, and they were when I left.

But I wasn't the last one out.

This is your apartment. I don't even live here.

You locked the door.

Okay, this coming from the man who lost our luggage

on our honeymoon.

I did not lose our luggage.

I allowed the porter to place it on the wrong train.

Gosh, Mei, what are we doing?

You're right.

It's just a little water...

or a lot of water and a smell and the critters,

but it's nothing we can't fix so let's not fight because

- one of us left a window open. - Right.

And I know it wasn't me.

Oh, you're being impossible, Mike!

Where are you going?

I'm tired. Okay?

Ever since our honeymoon, it's been one thing after another.

And I want to go to my room and lay down.

What am I gonna do?

You work at a hotel, don't you?

I don't work at a hotel. I run a hotel.

Oh, quite the crop this year, Henry.

Yeah.

What are you gonna do with all of them?

I figured Minnie could use them in the café.

Gustave use them in saloon.

All right. That only leaves a few hundred thousand nuts.

Huh!

You should think about selling the rest of them.

Isn't there some passage in the Bible

about leaving food for those less fortunate?

As a matter of fact, there is.

Deuteronomy 24:19.

When you're harvesting your crops

and forget to bring in a bundle of grain

from your field, don't go back to get it.

Leave it for the foreigners, orphans and widows.

Yeah. That wasn't what I had in mind,

but that'll do.

Henry, there's nothing wrong with starting a business.

It's a good thing.

Maybe you should think about starting one then,

with all the spare time you have

helping friends for nothing.

We haven't even made a dent.

- No. - At this rate, it'll take weeks.

And we may lose a lot of them to rot before they end.

Hey, kids, you want to earn some comic book money?

- Yeah. - Sure.

I don't read comic books, but I do read magazines.

All right.

Elizabeth, what is this about?

Just wait.

What do you think?

Who did this?

Oh, well, I did.

In honor of your first big radio show.

It's exciting.

Now everyone will know about this.

This epic debacle!

Debacle?

- It hasn't even premiered yet. - Oh!

Oh, Elizabeth make no mistake.

Just wait until tomorrow

I won't even be able to show my face around here.

Isn't it on the radio? Well, how bad can it be?

I have one day until I am live on the air and I have nothing

except Mrs. Tibett's' pig, Lord Squibbets

from the Buxton County fair.

Sorry.

I could postpone, I should postpone.

Half the world knows about it.

It's rebroadcasting in Union City.

Well, how do you usually find your stories?

I just ask around, or I...

or I just wait for it to come to me.

All right then, you just need to relax.

You're a sailboat just waiting on wind.

Yes. All right.

Yoo-hoo!

Don't be alarmed,

but I thought you'd want to know.

"Brace yourselves

"as the Valley voice attempts the absurd talking papers,

"what will they think of next?

"Music on the telephone."

Randall Rockwell!

It wasn't that long ago that he was wanting to join forces.

Well, that truce certainly didn't last very long.

Just forget him.

He's always been competitive with you.

And petty.

Mmhmm.

What if he's right.

Maybe this is why I can't find a story.

Maybe news on the radio is a doomed endeavor,

and now our name is splashed across every newspaper,

indelibly linking us to this abject failure.

Oh, Toby!

That is twice you've almost ran me over.

Where are you off to in such a hurry?

We're helping Mr. Gowen with his hazelnuts.

He's paying us in comic books.

Sorry.

These comic books.

I think the children are obsessed.

Mm.

That's it!

It's the perfect story for my radio program.

The plague of the comic book.

A small town perspective.

It's got edge.

It's got conflict.

Elizabeth. Thank you.

Florence. Thank you.

You both have wonderful ideas.

Oh!

Where are you going?

The wind blows. My sails are full.

She seemed happy.

She found what she was looking for.

You look happy too.

Did you help Oliver find what he was looking for, a win.

Maybe. Well, it certainly seems like you helped Allie find one.

She told me about the field trip.

Ah, yes.

The return of the great wolf.

You know, I always knew she loved the outdoors,

but she could not stop talking about this.

I don't know that I gave her a win.

She just found something that lit her up.

Hm, I guess that makes two of us.

You two have been through the ringer.

The honeymoon was hard.

You'd barely slept.

Now you're dealing with this.

Because he left the window open.

Are you sure it wasn't you?

I'm absolutely sure it wasn't me.

I'm absolutely sure it wasn't me.

And how can you be so certain?

I asked her specifically.

I asked him specifically.

But you can't be sure.

Well, no.

You're sure?

Well, yes.

It's a simple question, Hickam.

Did you leave the window open?

I guess I can't be certain beyond a shadow of a doubt.

So you're not sure?

I suppose not.

The bottom line is, it doesn't matter.

There's no winners in a fight like this.

My grandmother used to say,

in marriage, you can be right or you can be happy.

Maybe you're right.

Music was Emily's idea.

Oh, yeah?

No reason why work can't be fun.

I read an article in Dun's Review.

It said that a relaxed workforce

tends to be more productive.

Dun's Review, the business rag

that is the magazine that you're reading?

Yes.

These hazelnuts are the best I've ever had.

I couldn't have done it without y'all.

We need to find a place to store them.

The mice will get into them before too long.

Oh, and be careful not to flood the market.

It would create an oversupply and lower your price.

I will keep that in mind.

Welcome to the Valley Voice Radio Hour.

I think this might actually work.

A series of interviews across section of Hope Valley Heights,

all with unique and hopefully contentious points of view.

Can I get you anything?

A glass of water would be lovely.

Woo.

Rosemary, 10 seconds.

Ten seconds? Why didn't you?

Never mind. Elizabeth-- No,.

My throat is so dry.

I'm not ready yet.

In three... two...

One.

Welcome to the Valley Voice Radio Hour.

I'm your host, Rosemary Colter.

Sir. I noticed we were low on firewood.

Chopped up another cord.

How did you do that?

With an ax?

Not... not the firewood. How did you do this?

Oh, I stayed up late last night.

I'm a slow reader.

I triple-checked to make sure I didn't overlap anything.

I hope I didn't mess it up.

No. You didn't. This...

This is good work, Cadet.

Modus Operandi by time of day and by time of year.

You made some interesting connections.

Come here.

I want you to do these two.

You do?

I mean, yes, you do.

Yes, sir. I'm on it.

Dr. Carter, on the topic of comic books, tell us,

have you noticed any deleterious effects

on the minds of our children?

Well, all I have been observing so far

is young people reading with enthusiasm and curiosity.

I wouldn't call that a health concern at all.

Right, I see. Thank you, Dr. Carter.

Now we will turn to Pastor Joseph Canfield.

I don't see a problem with comic books.

I see.

When I was a kid, I was hooked on dime novels.

Comics are just dime novels with pictures.

As long as it's not at the dinner table,

I don't see the harm.

We love them!

You don't even know how to read yet.

What I meant to say is how precious.

Oh, we will now take a short break

to hear a message from our sponsors.

And we're off.

One minute.

That was wonderful.

Elizabeth, this is a disaster.

There's no conflict, no drama, no scandal!

Everyone just loves comic books.

We need provocative.

We need controversial.

I need a counterpoint.

I have an idea.

Ned, how fast can you find Florence?

Uh...

Please share with us your opinion

on comic books, Mrs. Yost.

They are the scourge of today's youth,

Tarnishing fragile minds with their preposterous tales.

And what in particular bothers you so much

about these comic books?

Good heavens.

Space travel from Earth to Mars.

Narrowly avoiding attacks by the Zogonauts

from planet Fliblerflop.

having to deflect their space rays

using a giant head of broccoli!

Florence, you've been reading them.

Oh. Only a few.

I knew it!

Sorry.

Broccoli is for eating, not deflecting space rays.

Putting the park on hold.

I am not saying we're canceling it.

We just need to think about the scope of the park.

If you just hear me out.

Oh, I'm all ears.

Because right now, none of this is making any sense to me.

I know that you think this is all about politics

and getting the votes, and you know what,

and it is.

Miss Martell made a solid argument.

Ranching is a backbone industry.

The ranchers need that land in order to survive.

If we can rethink the size of the park.

How much are we talking?

Come see.

You're not going to like it.

You're kidding me?

That's the whole valley. There's hardly anything left.

I need the legislature's support in order to make this a success.

And then there's my other initiatives.

What happens to them if I don't get reelected?

If my party ousts me?

So what if they do?

What are we doing here, Lucas?

If it's not to accomplish things like this?

And how do you know you can trust

this Edie Martelll anyway?

In fairness, you didn't hear what she had to say.

No, no, I didn't,

because your lackey had me running around town

making chit-chat

with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks.

Yes, he wants to get the word out.

No, no he doesn't.

He wants to get me out of the way.

We need to explore every single option

if we're going to make this park a reality.

So you can name it after the Irwin family, is that it?

Or maybe you're thinking something bigger,

like the Rockefellers

or Carnegie Robber Baron National Park.

That has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

I think so.

Is this a bad time, Governor?

Actually, if you could give us a moment, Edwin.

It's perfect timing. Come on in.

Because I just realized right now

that I'm not spending another second

away from my family for this charade.

Lee. Hold on.

No, you hold on!

You are working so hard

to make everyone happy, my friend.

But you're doing a darn poor job of it.

You are a politician now, Lucas.

And politicians have to make tough choices,

I get that, but one of these days,

you're going to realize that none of your initiatives

or your grand visions or your promises

amount to a hill of beans without your word.

I'm going home.

Well, my dear listeners,

that concludes what I hope was a lively discussion here

on the Valley Voice Radio Hour

putting the hope in Hope Valley.

This is Rosemary Colter.

And we're off.

Well?

Hi.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I really am.

Are you sorry you married me?

What? Why?

Well, ever since the wedding, nothing has gone right.

The honeymoon.

The trip home.

The apartment.

Our first disagreement.

Hey, this is all a part of our story.

Maybe we needed a fight to learn how not to fight.

Or how to fight well.

One day, I hope we laugh about all of this.

You promise?

Where are we going?

You'll see.

If there's any problem with the file,

I can fix it tonight.

They're perfect.

Those beans don't look nearly as good

as Mrs. Canfield's meatloaf.

Oh. It was pretty busy over at the café,

and I don't need to use the expense account every night.

Tell you what.

Why don't you come with me and we'll go have a proper dinner.

Forget the expense account.

We'll celebrate a job well done.

I don't want to impose.

Kid...

just take the win.

You lift with your legs.

All right, I got it.

It's about time, I'm starving.

All right.

Coming.

Oh, hello.

Hello. I hope you don't mind, I...

I brought one more.

I told him I didn't want to impose.

Don't be silly, Oliver. It's a potluck.

Everyone's invited. Come on in.

Hello.

Hello.

Uh, here.

Beans. Perfect.

He's the little Mountie?

Mountie cadet.

Hello? We're here, we're here!

Sorry we're late, but I have pie.

It's heavy.

Well, if it isn't the star

of the Rosemary Colter Radio Hour.

Oh.

Thank you.

Very kind, but let's get this show on the road.

This little one is fast approaching her witching hour.

Oh. She's starving.

Hi.

Dad...

Why'd you bring Oliver?

Be nice.

You're gonna have to find you a chair, cadet.

We're gonna be like a can of sardines here,

so I hope you're not shy.

I figured after our first fight,

where better to make up than where you proposed.

You're full of surprises.

You should move in with me above the café

until we fix your apartment.

It'll be cramped, but we'll be together.

I don't care if we live in a shoebox

as long as I'm with you.

Oh, come on.

Ta da!

What's all this?

Well, I couldn't possibly hope to top what you did here.

But...

It's perfect, Mike.

Here's to a fresh start.

And all our years to come.

It's called the Great Timber Wolf,

the biggest of all the wolf species.

Before Hope Valley was even a town, they flourished here.

Well, I've seen them up north,

but I haven't seen wolves in these parts

since the days of the mine.

According to the books I've read,

these wolves have such good hearing

that they won't den in noisy settings.

I wonder if all the blasting made them disappear.

Like Harry Howl-dini.

It was funny.

- Hey. - Henry.

This many hazelnuts

gonna cost you a fortune to shell and bag.

Don't worry about that.

I'm just saying you're going to go broke

doling out hazelnuts for free.

Well, the bag's not empty yet.

I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I appreciate your concern, though.

Mmhmm.

You know, I got everything I need.

I think more than anything,

what I need is just to keep it simple.

There's no reason why a hazelnut business

can't be simple, Henry.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't we do this thing together?

Together?

I'll keep an eye on Emily. She's sharp.

She'll be running this little business in no time.

So you'll do it?

I'll do it, if you do with me.

Deal.

All right.

All right.

♪ It is well ♪

♪ It is well ♪

♪ It is well ♪

♪ It is well with my soul ♪

Hey. It's pretty.

Lee!

What are you doing home so soon?

Oh, I'll tell you about it later.

Right now I just want a hug.

Oh.

It's so good to be home.

Mm.

She's so beautiful.

Yes.

Just like her mother.

I gotta hand it to Rosemary,

I thought news on the radio would be dull as dish water,

but she's found a way to make it work.

Well, if anybody can fill an hour.

She's a natural.

She's already working on her next segment.

She asked me to do an hour later this month.

I think she wants to call it Gavel Gab.

Mountie Matters.

Chalk Talk.

You're it.

Oh, you can't catch me.

Come on, Uncle Bill.

No, I, uh...

Oh, uh... you have been summoned, Judge Avery.

Ah!

I'm glad you brought Oliver.

He's a good kid.

You think you can make a Mountie out of him?

How many kids do you think

have gone through your classroom?

I don't know, nearly 100.

They've all gone on to do good things.

I suppose so.

Because you don't give up on people.

Do you think Oliver arrived at your doorstep for a reason?

Maybe.

He's lucky to have you.

I'm lucky to have you.
