Love Begins (2011)

[bunniefuu]

[ Birds Chirping ]

Go!

Go, boy! Hyah!

Hyah! Heh! Heh, hyah! Heh!

Hyah! Come on!

[ Horse Whinnies ]

[ Sighs ]

Whoa.
[ Horse Whinnies ]

- Whoa.
- Hold up, boys.

They ain't worth it, boss.

Let's go back.

[ Grunts ]
Hyah!

Looks like they gave up.

I'm getting real tired
of this, Daniel.

Yeah, they were plenty mad...

when I beat the big boy
in arm wrestling.

One day that temper
and big mouth of yours is
gonna get you in deep trouble.

Haven't made the trouble
I can't get out of.

We've run these horses
long enough.

We'll set up camp
about a mile or two.

Hyah. Hyah.
[ Whinnies ]

[ Nickers ]

One dozen eggs,
fresh as they come.

[ Coins Clink ]
Thank you, Mrs. Evans.

[ Nickers ]

- Hello, Ellen.
- Sheriff Holden.
What brings you out here?

Making my rounds.
Thought I'd look in
on you and Cassie.

We're fine.
Would you like
some cool water?

No, I've still got
ground to cover.

Looks like
some repairs are in order.

We'll get to them.
I still don't need
any hired help.

- Good enough.
- Your visits
are always welcome.

Elbow's been throbbing some.
Looks like
a storm's blowing in.

Really?
It's awfully sunny,
Sheriff.

Elbow never lies.

Could be a doozy.

[ Whinnies ]
I'd batten down the hatches.

Hyah. Hyah.

[ Thunder Rumbles ]

So what are you
cooking up for supper?

There's plenty of game around
here. Why don't you get off your
duff and go check the menu?

The California hills
are filled with gold.

When we hit our big strike,
I'm gonna take my gold
up to Oregon,

buy myself a ranch
the size of Delaware, huh?

Find me a pretty
little wife,
start a family.

What about you?

Think I'll catch one of them
steamers out of San Francisco,
head on up to China.

China? What's in China?

I've always wanted to see
that great big wall of theirs.

And after that,
who knows?

[ Exhales ]
You gonna go hunting,
or I gotta do everything?

- You know,
you sound like my ma.
- Best we built a shelter.

You know, you're always
looking out for me,
like a mother hen.

Yeah, well, somebody got to.

You do what you want.

I'll be fine sleeping
under the stars.

And when we strike it rich,
I'm gonna have a butler
bring all my food for me.

[ Thunder Rumbles ]

[ Horse Whinnies ]

Cassie?

Cassie!

- Cassie!
- Ellen, I'm over here.

Where were you?
You're supposed to be
weeding in the garden.

Don't be in a huff.

I finished up in the garden,
and I went and put flowers
on Ma and Pa's graves, and...

I know it sounds silly,
but I stayed and talked
to them for a while.

Lost track of time.
It's not silly.
I talk to them too.

- You do?
- Of course I do.

Looks like there's
a storm coming.

We'd best
gather the laundry,

get the livestock
in the barn.

[ Thunderclaps ]

[ Ellen ]
How's it look out there?

Wet.

Windy.

Very windy.
It's a terrible storm.

[ Chuckles ]
I know that.

What I meant was,
is the barn holding up?

It's holding its ground.

How can you just sit there
calmly sewing when the world
outside is falling apart?

I promised Mrs. Banks
I'd get this skirt to her
by tomorrow.

What if it's still raining?

Finish drying the dishes.

It'll get your mind
off of things.

[ Thunderclap ]
[ Sighs ]

[ Loud Thunderclap ]

Cassie,
you'd best sweep that up.

I'm sorry.
I'll be more careful.
The thunder startled me.

[ Thunderclap ]

[ Horse Whinnies In Distance ]

The garden is a mess,
but we can salvage
the tomatoes and squash.

It'll take some time
to get it back in shape.

It's a good thing
you put the livestock
in the barn last night.

Well, at least
only the chickens got out.
[ Sighs ]

Where do we start?

[ Ellen ]
We'll feed in the barn.
We'll gather the chickens.

Then we can go into town,
so I can get paid on my work
for Mrs. Banks's skirt.

What about putting
this place back in order?

First things first.

We can go into town
and get some new fence posts
at the hardware.

At least I could stay
and start cleaning up
the garden.

Cassie,
you're coming with me.

Ellen, you are my sister,
not my mother.

And?

It's not nice
for big sisters to order
their little sisters around.

All right, Cassie.

Would you care to
accompany me to town today?

I would love to.

Could we get some
apple pie at Millie's?

When we're finished
taking care of business.

Cassie Barlow, you can be
one stubborn young lady.

I am your sister.

[ Sighs ]
I'll gather the chickens.

[ Chickens Clucking ]
[ Horse Whinnies ]

[ Hammer Clanking ]
[ Chattering ]

[ Whinnies ]

Whoa!
How you doing?

Well, that's
the last one.

Now can we go to Millie's?

Well--

I guess you earned it.

[ Chuckling ]

Come on.
Let's go get some apple pie.

Ellen, Cassie.
Not used to seeing you
two days in a row.

Well, Sheriff,
it looks like
your elbow was right again.

Well, my elbow never fails me
when it comes to a storm.
How'd your place weather it?

It did considerable damage.

Maybe now you'll be
looking for a hired man.

I could use some help
around the place,
and I can pay a proper wage.

- You've been needing
some help for some time now.
- I suppose so.

Trouble is, all the able-bodied
men got gold fever
and took off for California.

But I don't have to
remind you of that.

Sorry.

Didn't mean to
open up an old wound
about Jake.

That wound is long healed.

Well, I'll certainly
keep my eyes and ears open.

I appreciate it.
My pleasure.

[ Man ] You wanna get
those in the ground--
[ Indistinct ]

"Millie's Caf?,
home style cooking."

Sounds good to me.

[ Chattering, Chuckling ]

Ladies. Good day.

We're here to eat.
No trouble.

Would you ladies
like anything else?
Oh. No, thank you, Millie.

- Where's Rose?
- Oh, she just ran out
to get some flour.

- She should be back anytime.
- Millie, I want to catch up
on the town gossip.

- Do you have time to sit down?
- Well, as soon as Rose
gets back to mind the store.

[ Bell Jingles ]

Ladies.

Well, Trinity sure has
some good-looking womenfolk.

Is there something
I can get you young men?

A hot meal.
A good, hot meal.

We've been traveling
a long time. I've been
doing most of the cooking.

Cassie, quit staring.
It's not polite.

Well, the special today
is chicken and dumplings.

- Sounds real good.
- Yeah, I'll, uh--
I'll take two orders.

All right.
Three orders of the special.
Anything to drink?

Water will be fine.
Thank you.

All right.

Well, this sure seems like
a real quiet town.

[ Chuckles ]
I'd hate to be stuck here.

Well, a lot of people
like living like that.

Yeah, well, not me.
Excitement's what I crave.

Ladies, good day to you.

Uh, I don't mean to be rude.

My name is Daniel Whittaker.
Well, what are your names?

[ Woman Clears Throat ]

Well, don't that just
say it all, hmm?

I'm being real nice,
and these ladies
are being rude.

How about we just eat
and get out of here?

You know, I'm being real
friendly like to you women,

and I can't even get
a simple hello in return?

Hello.

- Excuse me?
- You said you wanted a hello.
I gave you one.

- I wanted it from these ladies.
- Well, it seems they don't
want conversation with you.

Well, you two ought to mind
your own business.

Now-- Ah--
Ladies, you don't
have to go nowhere.

Daniel, we ain't
looking for no trouble.

No, we're not.
But it seems like
these two boys are.

No, we ain't
looking for trouble.

But if you insist,
we can step outside.

Look at it this way.
Walk away now,
and you don't get hurt.

John, Samuel,
what is goin' on?

What's it gonna be?
The streets,

or walk away?

- [ Woman Screams ]
- [ All Gasp ]

[ All Grunting ]

Stop it!

[ Shouting ]

[ Gasps ]
Stop it.

[ Millie ]
You listen to me.
I said stop it!

Stop it!

- [ Shouting ]
- [ Rose ]
I got the flour.

[ Screams ]

[ Grunting ]

Get up!

I will sh**t the man
who throws the next punch.

Matter of fact,
this old scattershot
ain't too choosy.

She might just get all of you.
Put your hands up
and sit down.

- But, Sheriff, these two--
- I said sit.

[ Man ]
Run those boys
out of town.

[ Woman ]
They need to cool
their heels, Sheriff.

[ Chattering ]

Millicent!

- I'd like to know
what happened here.
- Well, I was in the kitchen.

Ellen came to get me,
and I came out
just as the fight started.

Well, let's get this
sorted out, boys.

Step inside,
gentlemen.

Uh, our horses
are tied up on the street.

Don't go fretting
about your horses. I'll see
they end up at the stables.

Of course,
it'll cost you for board.

Pick a bunk.

[ Sighs ]

I'm not sure how this is real
fair, Sheriff. Those two boys
were just as guilty as we were.

Witnesses say your friend here
threw the first punch.

- Well, they provoked me.
- Is that all you have to say?

What about you?
What do you got
to say for yourself?

Never did get a chance to eat.
Little hungry.

I'll order you up
some food from Millie's.

If she'll feed you
after what happened.

I'm much obliged, Sheriff.

"Never did
get a chance to eat"?

That-- That's all
you've got to say?
We just got railroaded.

You caused this, again,
and you know it.

The next big wind,
and this is coming down.

That's why we'll have to
get the newest posts in
before then.

You and me aren't so good
at digging postholes.

We'll learn.
Grab the hammer and nails.

We'll get the plank up
so we can get the horses
back in the corral.

[ Sighs ]
Why did God bring
such a terrible storm on us?

Pa used to say the good Lord and
the devil got credit for things
they had nothing to do with.

[ Sighs ]
Sometimes things just happen,
natural course of events.

Sometimes it's all
so confoundin'.

That's why we have to have
the faith of a child.

Sure was exciting
at Millie's today.

I guess you could
call it that.
What else would you call it?

Crude and rude behavior.

Let's get the plank up.

[ Horse Whinnies ]

- Hello, Rose.
- Hello, Sheriff.

Ma made this
for the prisoners.

You can go on in.
They're harmless.

Hello there, little lady.
And you are?

I'm Rose.
I'm Millie's daughter.

Oh. Well--

[ Sniffs ]
Oh, that smells tasty,
Rose.

You know, Mama is
mighty mad at you two
for wrecking her place,

but she decided
to make that up
for you anyways.

Said it was
the Christian thing to do.

Thank you.
We're very grateful.

Thank you, Rose.

Well, one good thing--
We got our chicken
and dumplings.

You boys want some water,
you can call the night deputy.

When you're finished
with your food, slide
the plates under the door.

And I'll see you
in the morning.

Hey, Sheriff.

What's gonna happen to us?

- Depends.
- Depends on what?

If you plead guilty,

you pay the assessed
damages plus a fine.

- What are the damages?
- Well, I haven't
calculated that yet.

The window's boarded up.
I have no idea how much the new
glass and repairs will cost.

Plus a table,
chair or two.

Yeah, well,
we're pleading not guilty.

Fine. When the judge
hits town, we'll hold
a hearing in the jail.

When the judge hits town?
Yeah.

Circuit judge. Covers all
the counties. Should be
back here in about 30 days.

I ain't staying
in this jail
for a month.

- Well, then you'd best
plead guilty.
- Well, that ain't justice.

I-I don't know what that is,
but it sure ain't justice.
We'll plead guilty.

No, we're not!

Well,

I can see you boys
need some time
to talk it over.

Take the night.

This ain't fair,
Clark, and we're
not pleading guilty.

You did throw
the first punch.

We got about
three dollars between us.

Th-That won't even
cover a new window.

Well, maybe
we can work it off.

Not me, old buddy.
I got bigger
and better things to do,

places to go,
things to see.

In case you hadn't noticed,
we're in a jail cell.

Well, there ain't a jail built
I can't bust out of.

Neither one of us has
ever been locked up before.
What are you talking about?

You got no imagination, Clark.
You never did.

It's part of your charm,
I guess.

Just eat your food
and go to bed.

[ Snoring ]

[ Snoring Continues ]

[ Snoring Continues ]

They'll sh**t you.

It's not too late.
Come with me.

You really think
you're gonna
get away with this?

Use your head for once,
and let's pay our debt.

We didn't come this far
just so we could
sit behind bars.

If we don't get out of here now,
we're never gonna make it
to California.

- Grow up and be a man.
- Good luck, Clark.

Look me up
when you get out west.

If you ever make it
that far.

[ Murmurs ]

[ Snoring ]

[ Sighs Deeply ]

[ Snoring Continues ]

[ Horse Whinnies ]
[ Moos ]

[ Chickens Clucking ]

[ Horse Nickers ]

I gathered the eggs.
The hens didn't
do so well laying.

Maybe the storm
scared 'em.

They'll settle down.

Do you want some help
in the garden?
That would be great.

You know, if we made
the garden bigger, we could
grow more stuff to sell.

We could,
after we fix the shingles
on the roof of the house...

and repair the barn door.

And get the new
corral posts up.

[ Both Chuckle ]

We weren't this close
when Pa was alive, were we?

No.

Why do you think
that is?

I suppose
it's the age difference.

And I was caught up
in the trifles that tend to
divert a young woman.

You mean Jake?

Yes, Jake.

- Do you miss him?
- I try not to think of it.

It's been over two years,
and you haven't heard
a word from him.

- Do you think he's dead?
- I don't know.

Well, if he wasn't dead,

he would have written
or sent some kind of word
from the goldfields.

We parted
on disagreeable terms.

You part that way
with a loved one, it...

tends to make any loss
more grievous.

Was he your true love?

You need years with someone
to know such a thing.

True love is
born of experience,
not fairy dust.

Do you think
I'll find my true love?

Yes, you will.

But first I need your help
clearing this garden.

[ Horse Whinnies ]

What have you got
to say for yourself?

When I went back
to check on 'em,
the cell door was open.

One was gone. The other one
was just sittin' there.

- Excuse me?
- I don't know how it happened.

I'll tell you how it happened.
You fell asleep, and a prisoner
escaped using a dinner fork.

I ought to lock you up
in his place.

Get out of here.
I'll figure out
what to do with you later.

Well, Mr. Clark Davis,
looks like you're on your own.

Appears so.

Mr. Whittaker skipped
over to the stable,
broke in,

took his horse
and beat it out of town.

Sounds about right.

- Don't suppose you know
anything about this.
- I'm here, aren't I?

Yes, you are.

- I was sleepin'.
- You and my deputy both.

I woke up,
and Daniel was
fooling with the lock.

I tried to talk him
out of it.

- I suppose you're going
after him now?
- Waste of my time.

He'll just end up
on the wrong side of the law
someplace else,

if the devil don't
get him first.

I will put his name
out on the wire though.

We've been friends
since childhood.

I'd be careful
who I'd call friend.

[ Sighs ]
I pled guilty. Now what?

The fine for
public nuisance is $10.

The repairs at Millie's
will probably be about 30.

I got $1.50.

That'll cover about
three weeks' board on
your horse over at the stable.

I'll go get you
some breakfast
since you'll be staying here.

Sheriff, wait.
What is it now?

Isn't there some way
I could work it off?

Hyah.

[ Chattering ]

[ Horse Whinnies ]

[ Horse Blusters ]

Millicent,
can I have a word with you?

I'd like to run
something by you
concerning this young man.

I'm listening.

Sit.

So, what's this all about?
Where's the other one?

Slipped out last night
while my deputy was sleeping.

Came in this morning,
and this one's just sitting
there. The door's wide open.

Now why do you suppose
he didn't leave?

I believe he is a responsible
young man who would like to
do right by you and the town.

In fact, that's what I came
to talk to you about.

I'm still listenin'.

[ Holden ]
Won't be much further now.

[ Clark ]
Do you mind if I ask
where we're going?

Nope.

No, you don't mind,
or no, don't ask?

Barlow Farm.

Ellen Barlow lives there
with her sister Cassie.

They've been looking
for some hired help.

Can't pay much,
but it'll suit your needs
paying off what you owe.

- Two women living alone?
- Pa died last winter. Mom died
giving birth to Cassie.

And you're trusting me
not to run?

You give me your word
you'll stay?

You have my word
on it.

Your word's
good enough for me.

But if you run,
I will find you,

and I may have to
sh**t you.

[ Whinnies ]

You can make camp up there.

Close to work,
out of the ladies' hair.

Plenty of game up there.
You'll make do.

Ellen! Cassie!

Ellen, it's Sheriff Holden.

Hello, Sheriff.

- Good day to you,
Sheriff.
- Ellen.

That fellow with the sheriff
is the one that was
in the fight at Millie's.

Yes, it seems so.

Sheriff, what can
we do for you today?

It's what I can do for you.

Ellen Barlow, Cassie Barlow,
meet Clark Davis.

The solution
to your hired hand problem.

Sheriff Holden,
why don't you step down
so we can talk in private?

Yes, ma'am.

Cassie,

make sure
he don't run off.

[ Cassie Sighs ]

You and those other fellas
sure tore up Millie's place.

Yeah, we sure did.
I'm really sorry about that.

It was a grand fight.
Grandest fight I ever saw.

In fact, the only fight
I ever saw.

Rose too.
Rose is Millie's daughter.

Cassie, hold the horse.
Stop talking.

Why'd you bring
that criminal here?

- [ Holden ]
He's not a criminal.
- Then what is he?

He's an able-bodied man
who will work for you
to pay off Millie and the law.

He started a brawl.
He can't be trusted.

First of all,
he did not start the brawl.
Millie and you said so.

- That is beside the point.
- No, it is not
beside the point.

And secondly, I'm a damn good
judge of human nature, and that
boy has a good, solid character.

You have only known him
for a day.

The other one broke out
of jail and took off. This one
stayed to face the music.

That tells me a lot
about his character.

We'll find someone else.

Ellen Barlow,
you are as stubborn
as your old man.

Besides, there is no one else,
and you sorely need him.

Fine.

But only on a trial basis.
One week at a time.

Minus the $1.50 he already paid,
he owes 38.50.

A month's wages
ought to cover that debt.

I told him he could
camp up there on the hill.

Thank you, Cassie.
You're welcome, Sheriff.

[ Horse Whinnies ]

- You leaving?
- Appears so.

Don't you worry.
I'll be back to check on you
from time to time.

- Good-bye, Sheriff.
- Stay out of trouble, Cassie.

You too, Sheriff.

[ Clicking Tongue ]

Cassie.

[ Horse Whinnies ]

Miss Barlow,
I just want to tell you
it's a pleasure to meet you,

and, uh, I really appreciate
this job opportunity.

Look, Mr.--
[ Sighs ]
What's your name?

It's Davis. Clark Davis.

Mr. Davis, I truly
do not feel comfortable
having the likes of you around,

but we need some
hired help, and you're all
there seems to be.

- The likes of me?
- I heard your friend say you
were going to the goldfields.

- Is there somethin'
wrong with that?
- Dreamers, chasin' rainbows,

lookin' for gold,
get rich quick.

Well, there is gold
to be found.

Look. If you're gonna work here,
you best get started.

Half a day's already gone. If
I'm gonna pay you a daily wage,
I expect a full day's work.

Yes, ma'am.
You'll get a full day's work.
Just tell me where to start.

Well, there's plenty
that needs attention.

You can start by fixing
the barn door.

Okay.

She's not so ornery
once you get to know her.

I might not live long enough
to get to know her then.

There's tools and a ladder
in the barn,
and the lumber's out back.

Come on. I'll show you,
Mr. Davis.

Just call me Clark.
Mr. Davis is my pa.

[ Cow Moos ]

You best be careful
up there.

I will. Thanks for the advice.

- You sure you know
what you're doing?
- Well,

guess we're gonna find out.

Cassie, would you
come here, please?

[ Sighs ]
Gotta go see what she wants.

[ Sighs ]
Do you need me?
Of course I need you.

But I'm helping
with the barn door.
Come on inside the house.

[ Sighs ]

Did you want to
talk about something?

I think it's better if
we maintain a distance from him
till we get to know him.

How do we get to know him
if we maintain a distance?

We know nothin' about him
except he started a fight,
and he got thrown in jail.

Now, please,
just stay away
from him for now.

I best get back.
He may need my help.

Cassandra Mae,
did you hear a word I said?

Every word, Ellen Louise.

[ Sighs ]
You fixed it.

[ Exhales ]
Hope so.

Sometimes I have to remind Ellen
that she is my sister
and not my mother.

- She's concerned for you.
- I can take care of myself.

Oh, yes, ma'am.
I'm sure you can.

Headin' to California--
that sounds so very excitin'.

Your sister
don't seem to think so.

- That's 'cause of Jake.
- Jake?

Jake Weller.
He was Ellen's sweetheart.

Moved to California
with gold fever
about two years ago.

He wanted her to pack up
and go with him,
but she didn't want that.

- Yeah? What happened to him?
- Don't know. Haven't heard
a word from him.

Well,

that could prejudice someone
against the pursuit of gold.

Yes, sir, it could.
She has very hard
feelings against it too.

Yeah, seems so. Hey, would you
grab that two-by-four and slide
it right under this door?

Thank you.
You're a real big help.

- Really?
- Really.

[ Crickets Chirping ]

[ Ellen ]
All fixed?
[ Grunts ]

I believe so.

[ Cassie ]
It stayed up.

So far.

It's working.

Well, it's staying
on the hinges.

That's the important part.

Cassie, we need to
take my mending to town
and deliver it.

- Go pack the wagon
and get ready to go.
- Can't I stay here?

I thought we'd
go by Millie's for lunch.
You can catch up with Rose.

I'm going.
I'll hitch the team.

Well, looks like
you fixed it.

Seems like it.

Can I give you a hand
with that team?

No, that won't be necessary.
I can manage on my own.

Okay. What do you
have in mind next?

Corral. One of the posts
has rotted out.
Other three need mending.

The new posts are behind
the barn, and all the tools
you'll need are inside the barn.

I'll get right on it.

[ Horse Whinnies ]

Me and Rose are going
to the dry goods store.

Rose and I.

All right.
Rose and I are going
to the dry goods store.

And please remember
to see if my gingham
material's come in.

You'll be back in time
for the supper rush?

Yes, ma'am.
Thanks.

I have to admit.
That fight was pretty exciting.

Oh, I don't know.

I take it
you have a hired hand
working for you now?

Trial basis,
one week at a time.

I don't know how I feel
about trusting a man
who gets in a fight.

Well, the sheriff brought him
by here. Seemed like
a pretty solid fella.

We'll see.

And he's not too
disagreeable to look at.

[ Chuckles ]
Millie, please.

I hadn't noticed.

Oh, of course you haven't.
[ Chuckles ]

[ Owl Hoots ]

Let your good and perfect will
be done in Cassie's life.

Let no one
stand in your way.

Not even me.
[ Chuckles ]

Good night, Ma.

Good night, Pa.

???? [ Clark Humming ]

Good morning,
Miss Barlow.
Good morning.

When you're finished
with that post, Mr.--
Mr. Davis,

don't forget the other three
that are loose.

I won't forget.

Miss Barlow.

Yes?

You know, I never
intended on being here.

If I could have
repaid that debt,
I would have.

But I gave the sheriff
my word I would
see this through.

- Your point is?
- Long as I'm here,
I'm gonna be civil to you.

All I ask is you do
the same in return.

I am being civil
with you, Mr. Davis.

???? [ Humming ]

[ Sighs ]

He's a real hard worker,
ain't he?

Isn?t he.

He has motive to be.
Once he pays off his debt,
he'll be on his way.

He's not like the other
gold diggers we've met.

[ Ellen ]
They're all the same.

After fortune and adventure.

He hums while he works.

Pa was always humming
while he was workin'.

Does this fella
remind you of Pa?

No.

I was just wonderin'.

???? [ Humming Continues ]

???? [ Humming Continues ]

Here's your lunch.
Oh.

Ellen's the second-best cook
in the whole county,
next to Millie.

Of course, you know
Millie's place real well.

Yeah, I'm afraid I do.

Thank you, Cassie.
This looks really good.
I appreciate it.

If you need a drink,
there's a tin
hanging from the pump.

This post is solid.

You're doing
a real dandy job.

Dandy as a dandelion.

- What?
- My pa used to
say that all the time.

I've never heard
anyone else say that before.

Yeah, I'd heard
he had passed on.
I'm really sorry to hear that.

No, it's all right.

It's good to hear it again.

Cassie.
When you're finished,
I need you.

She just can't seem
to get on without me.

It's good to be needed.

- Cassie, now, please.
- I have to go.

[ Whinnies ]

- Go on inside and put this on.
I took out the hem some.
- Why?

'Cause you're getting so tall,
the dress is looking too short.

And I always want you
to look your best.
Besides, the dance is comin' up.

I forgot about that.

You know, Cassie's right.
You're a real good cook.

Thank you.

Sew away, Sis.

???? [ Clark Humming ]

He's humming again.

I can hear that.
There's no law against it.

You know,
this time of year,
we could get another storm.

If a body was camped outside,
it sure would be miserable.

Is that your way of saying
we should allow Mr. Davis
to move to shelter?

- Oh, do you think so?
- [ Chuckles ]

Your concern for
his well-being--
it's duly noted.

- Is that a no?
- Yes. Now turn around
so I can see the back.

[ Sighs ]
Will you think about it?
Would you hold still?

You turned out to be
quite the farmer.

[ Clark Chuckles ]

I didn't even
hear you ride up.

My grandpa was half Osage.

He'd sneak up on a rabbit,
grab it by the ears
with one hand.

- You just riding by?
- Nope.

Rode out to check on you,
like I said I would.

You holding up
all right?

Uh--
[ Chuckles ]
Yes, sir.

Ellen's a tad pushy
and a bit headstrong,
but she's a good person.

She's guilty on the first
two counts, but I haven't
seen the nice part yet.

Few do.

Gal's got a... heavy burden,

what with keeping this place
going and raising Cassie.

Yes, sir. Well--

Well, I'm still here,
so you can rest easy.

I knew you were a man of your
word. But I never rest easy.
You'll be seeing me again.

I'll count on it.

Got an answer back
on that wire I sent out
on Daniel Whittaker.

Turns out he got himself
arrested for rustling
a few counties west of here.

- Are they gonna hang him?
- Could be.

Funny how life is.
If you'd been with him,
you could be facing the noose.

But here you are.

[ Whinnies ]

Hyah! Hyah!

Yeah, here I am.

You make the best apple pie
this side of the Mississippi.

What's wrong
with my apple pie?

Nothin'.
It just comes second
to Millie's.

You are too kind.
So how's your
hired hand doing?

He allows me to help.
And he treats me like an adult.

Unlike someone else I know.

He seems to be
a hard worker.

Ellen's being kinda
ornery with him.

He works for us.
We're not meant
to be his friend.

Well, you can be
kinda ornery
with a lot of folks.

Well, some folks deserve it.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Clucking ]

???? [ Humming ]

Hello.

Mornin'.
Mornin'.

You're almost finished
with the corral.

Couple more planks,
it'll be there.

I'm gonna go pick
wildflowers in the meadow.

Maybe one day
you can pick some for me.

Sure. Just tell me when.

Miss Barlow,
how are you?

Fine.

- You do good work.
- Thank you.

My pa taught me
a lot about carpentry.

Come in real handy
around here.

So, you have a trade,
yet you decide to waste
your life on trivial pursuits.

[ Chuckles ] I guess you just
got me all figured out,
don't you, Miss Barlow?

Well, I don't understand
how a man can leave his family
and his home...

and travel clear
across the country...

in pursuit of
a few little rocks, no matter
how much they're worth.

Well, I think some men
are just in pursuit of
a better life.

Others want a shortcut.

I was in it
for the adventure.

So, what's next?

After you leave here?

Probably keep heading west.

Catch a steamer
out of San Francisco.
Head on over to China.

China?

New adventure.
New places. New people.

Doesn't sound like you have
any plans to settle down
anytime soon.

One day I would like to
settle down.

Have a family.

???? [ Humming ]

[ Chickens Clucking ]

Chickens have been laying
real good since you got here.
Think they like ya.

Yeah? Guess that makes me
a regular ol' rooster, huh?

There's a dance
in town this Saturday.

Never been to a dance.

There's plenty of good food,
socializing and music.

- Are you and your sister goin'?
- Never miss it.

- Maybe you could go with us?
- You have to ask Ellen that.

[ Ellen ]
Ask Ellen what?

Well? I'm waitin'.

Could he go to
the dance with us?

Well, if he wants to,
all right.

No, that's all right.
I, uh--

I don't have
any fancy clothes anyway.

I think we could
find him a suit to wear.

???? [ Folk ]

[ Chattering ]

[ Man ]
Good to see ya again.

Sure hope this suit
looks all right.

Looks better than all right.
Fits you better
than it did Pa.

You look beautiful.

I haven't worn this dress
in over two years.

Not since Jake left.

Cassie told me about him.

She can't
keep her mouth shut
to save her soul.

You still look very fetching.

I took it out of
the closet just for today.

???? [ Ends ]

Ellen.

Look at you
all slicked up.

There'll be
no trouble here, boys.

Ah, we ain't lookin'
for any trouble, Sheriff.
Ain't that right, John?

Nah, just commentin'
on how different he looks.

What is it
that you boys want?

Just wanted to
shake this fella's hand.

And to tell him we feel
partially responsible
for his trouble.

- Yeah, you mean that?
- My word on it.

Bygones are bygones.

Enjoy the dance.

???? [ Resumes ]
You do look very spiffy.

Come on. Let's dance.

John, would you be a dear
and get me a punch?

My pleasure. Ellen?

No, thanks. I'm fine.

[ Chattering ]

So, will we
be seeing Mr. Davis
at services tomorrow?

I mentioned it
to him on the way here.
Seems he's not a spiritual man.

Oh, my. That's too bad.

Do you find him handsome?

You know I do.

I find him passable at best.

Okay, slightly
more than passable.

He's a hard worker.
Good craftsman.

Seemingly of pleasant nature.

He's got a good spirit.
Just needs
a little cultivatin'.

And he'll be leaving soon.

???? [ Ends ]
[ Chuckles ]

Thank you
for the dance,
kind sir.

My pleasure, madam.

Some fine dancin'
out there, Mr. Davis.

You should
dance with him, Ellen.

Now, Cassie,
normally the fella
asks the gal to dance.

Well, ask her.

May I have this dance?

You may.

???? [ Waltz ]

I'm gonna go find Rose.

Oh, they make
a fine-looking couple.
That they do.

Now, Millie,

don't you go playin' Cupid.

That boy is set on leavin'.

We'll see.

Cassie's so eager to grow up.

I can remember
wantin' to grow up.

Have you?

I think so.

I know what I want now.

So many of the things
that I thought were
the most important in the world,

well, they turned out
not to be.

I owe you an apology.

I don't think so.

When you first came
into our lives,
I prejudged you.

But you're not the person
I believed you to be.

You don't have to do that.
It's fine.

Let me finish.

I feel like...
I'm getting to know you.

The real you,
not my perception of you.

I mean, I like you.

I like you too.

[ Nickers ]

Cassie, you best hurry.
We don't want to be late
for service.

I'm comin'!

Good mornin'.

Mornin'.

Saw the team hitched up.
Figured y'all was
headin' off to church.

We don't have a church
in the usual sense.

Services are held outside
in the common area.

I see.

Well, I invited you once before,
and... I shall do it again.

Would you care to join us?

I do appreciate the offer,
but I think I'm gonna stay here
and tend to the garden.

We could all use
an ounce of faith.

Miss Barlow,
I'm not even sure
if I know what that word means.

Faith means believin'
in somethin' greater
than oneself. A higher power.

Well, if it's all the same,

I think I'll spend my day
doing something
a little more constructive.

Worship is constructive,
Mr. Davis.

It's the most important
work of all.

Well, if it's okay with you,
we'll just agree
to disagree on that one.

But I do appreciate
the offer to the dance.

You're welcome.

Cassandra!

Mornin', Clark.

Cassie, please,
in the wagon.

I don't want to be late.

Let me help you up.

We always have
a potluck after services.

- You'll have to scrounge
for your lunch.
- I'll make do.

- [ Reins Snap ]
- [ Whinnies ]

???? [ Humming ]

- Mr. Davis.
- Miss Barlow.

It's the end of the week.
Your pay.

- Wasn't Miss Millie
at the service?
- She was.

- You can just give it to her.
- No, it's not my place.

It's better if you do.

All right. Thank you.

The garden
is looking wonderful.

Thank you.
The, uh, tomato's
lookin' real ripe.

Eggplant's just about
ready to be picked.

We can take it
into town tomorrow.

I sell most of my crops
at the general store.

You can visit Millie then.
Sure thing.

You know,
I'm just about done here,

so I'll probably
pack up my stuff
and head back up to camp.

- We're just about to sit
for Sunday supper.
- Is that an invitation?

It's the proper Sunday thing
to do, Mr. Davis.

Well, then I'd be obliged
to accept.

Miss Barlow.

Perhaps since you and I
are gonna share
Sunday supper together,

maybe we can call each other
by our given names.

All right.
[ Chuckles ]

You best wash up
before you come inside.

Sure thing, Ellen.

[ Sighs ]

Cassie, did you
pick those flowers?
For you. Just like you asked.

You wouldn't mind
if I took 'em tomorrow
when we go into town, would ya?

They're yours to do
as you like with them.

I find gardening
very relaxing and enjoyable.

Plant some seeds,
add some water,

a little sunlight,
and life magically
springs from the ground.

That sounds
so very poetic.

I hear what you're sayin'.
I feel the same way.

We've been wantin' to
expand our garden,
grow some more vegetables.

I might be able
to help with that.

With the boss's permission.

I suppose
that would be all right.

Probably just need
some wildflower seeds,
we'll plant around the garden.

It'll look real nice.

- Who wants to say grace?
- I'll say it.
It's my turn anyway.

Mr. Davis-- I mean, Clark,
would that be
all right with you?

It's perfectly all right.

Lord, thank you
for this food
that we are about to receive,

and thank you
for our new friend Clark.

Please watch over him.

Even though he doesn't much
believe in you, he's still
a kind and decent man.

Also, please keep watch
over Ma and Pa.

Your friend, Cassie Barlow.
Amen.

See? That wasn't so hard.

I really appreciate
the hospitality.

I really enjoyed
the meal and the company.
Especially the company.

You're quite welcome.
Maybe we can do it again.

It was special for Sunday.

Maybe again next Sunday?

Maybe.

Cassie was thinkin' you'd be
more comfortable sleepin'
in the barn instead of outside.

There's an old cot
and everything.

You'd have a roof
over your head.

Are you sure?

She asked you.
Of course she's sure.

Well, I, uh--
I better be up early,

get the squash
and tomatoes picked
and packed up for town.

I'll help you.
After your house chores.

After my house chores.

- Ladies, thank y'all again.
- You're welcome.

???? [ Humming ]

He's hummin' again.

Yes, I can hear that.

We should put the dishes up.

Are you going to help me,
or am I your sl*ve?

[ Horse Whinnying ]

[ Pigs Squealing ]

Go. Go.

Get off.

Well,

beats sleepin'
on the ground.

[ Clucking, Squawking ]

[ Chattering ]

Well, they're a little wilted,
but I hope she likes 'em.

All women like flowers,
wilted or not.

It's the thought
behind them that counts.

So I'll meet y'all
back here then?

We're going by
the dry goods store
and then a few other places.

- Will an hour do you?
- That's plenty enough time.
See y'all in an hour.

Who do you suppose
those flowers are for?

I don't know.
Some gal, I guess.
He said "she."

Ellen.

Are you just curious,
or are you a little jealous?

Jealous? Rue the day.

Just curious.

Let's go by
the dry goods store
and check on that material.

Then we can go by Millie's.

[ Woman ]
I'm planning it
for Tuesday.

Thank you.

[ Bell Jingles ]

Uh, Ma,
you'd best get out here.

[ Door Closes ]
[ Bell Jingles ]

Well, you folks
can get back to eatin'.

Rose, you mind the stove?

Uh, these are for you.
Sorry. They're a bit wilted.

Nothin' a little
fresh water can't fix.

You know,
I never truly apologized
to you. But I am now.

Well, if you feel the need,
then apology accepted.

These are
very pretty flowers.

Uh, Cassie-- she picked 'em.

You and Cassie
gettin' along all right?

Yes, ma'am. Just fine.

Would you like to sit down,
maybe have a piece of pie?

Oh, I-- I probably
shouldn't stay too long.

The ladies are waitin' on me.
They're doin' a bit of shoppin'.

Well, if they're shoppin',
it's gonna be a while.

Come on.

Rose, would you bring me
a piece of apple pie?

Yes, ma'am.

[ Clears Throat ]
I also brought your payment.

You are a young man
of principle.

My father.

"Be a man of principle
and responsibility."

In the old days,
I would've told you
to forget it.

I lost a lot of money
that way.

Now I read the good book,
and it tells me to be
a cheerful giver and receiver.

So, I will cheerfully
receive this money...

and give you a piece of pie.

- That's very kind of you.
- Oh, not really.

I figured this is
the only money you've got,

and you probably couldn't
afford to pay for the pie.

[ Clears Throat ]

Rosie, would you
do me a favor and go
polish the silverware?

Oh, yes, ma'am.

Teenage girls.
Full of curiosity
and mischief.

[ Chattering ]

[ Clark ]
Life can be very confounding,
Miss Millie.

Something weighin'
on you, Clark?

It is an ever-changing
adventure we are on.

Sure is a fact.

Be diligent.
Give life time.

We never do know what's
right around the corner.
[ Bell Jingles ]

- [ Chuckling ]
- Well, lookee who dropped in.

With Clark here,
I was wondering if you two
were gonna stop by.

Well, if I'd known
he was coming here,
we would've come with him.

He brought me
those flowers over there.

Kind of an apology gift.

Well, isn't that sweet?

Rose is in the kitchen.

Ellen, come sit.

Yep, and I best be
checkin' on the team.
No. Stay. They'll be all right.

Well, it's pretty hot outside,
so they might need some water.
Thank you for the pie.

Looks like I run him off.

He's a very nice young man.

Not at all like the ones
who caught that gold fever.

He's responsible.
It would seem that way.

There's a big difference
between...

just having a crush
on somebody
and truly being in love.

I dried out
the vegetable seeds
like you said.

All I have to do now
is go get some wildflower seeds
from the meadow.

Be careful in that tall grass.
The rattlers are out
this time of year.

I will.

The garden
is gonna be great.
[ Chuckles ]

She's very excited
about the garden.

- Thank you.
- My pleasure.

- You ready to plant soon?
- Yeah.

Just keep turning the soil
for a bit, add some of that
dry manure from the milk cow,

water it for a couple days
and plant.

- You sure know
a lot about everything.
- Just basic things.

- You read a lot?
- Some.

Mostly I learned from my pa.

He tried to teach me
to be a well-rounded man.

- You close to him?
- Very. My ma too.

You know,
we had some problems
when I was growing up, but...

nothing we couldn't get through
without him shootin' me.

That would've been awful.

Then you wouldn't be here,
digging in the dirt
and playing in dry manure.

Your pa laugh a lot?

- Yeah.
- Mine too.

You miss him.

I do. Almost every day.

Sometimes I think
I hear him laugh.

And I turn around,
expecting him to be there.

- Silly, huh?
- No.

No, it's not silly.

Those are memories.
Memories are what
our lives end up being.

- Your pa teach you that?
- And he learned it from my ma.

We gotta hang on
to the good ones,

let the bad ones go.

Never let 'em haunt us.

sh**t.
King me.

Your move.

[ Inhales Sharply ]

I wouldn't move there
if I were you.

I know what you're thinkin'.

Do you?

Cassie's forming an attachment.

Cassie told Rose
that Clark Davis
reminds her of her father.

I suspected as much.

He'll be leaving soon.

Moving on to California,
following his dream.

He's not like
all the rest of 'em.

What? You said so yourself.

Oh. Oh, my.
[ Chuckles ]

Oh, Millie.
Now don't go jumpin'
to conclusions.

You're sweet on him.

No, I'm not sweet on him.

I don't have the time,
nor the inclination,

for such luxuries.

He's a good man.

Which will make it
all the more difficult
when he leaves.

You've gotta
think about Cassie.

She never knew her mother.
She lost her father.

How's she gonna handle
him leaving?

Have you seen Cassie?

She told me she was
gonna pick some flowers
and visit your folks.

Oh. Talkin' to them
gives her peace.

Guess we all could use
an ounce of that
from time to time.

She's become
really fond of you.

She's a special young lady.

Your commitment here
will be over soon.

Reckon it will.

You'll be headin'
out west to California?

That's been the plan
for a long time.

I don't think
it'll set well with Cassie.

I don't think
it's gonna set well
with me either.

And you?

What about me?

My ma always told me
that a person who answers
a question with a question...

is just avoidin'
the first question.

You must be gettin' hungry.
I'll go fix your lunch.

[ Grunting ]

Do you think the Lord
holds a grudge against Clark
for not keeping the Sabbath?

I don't think
the Lord holds grudges.

I think that's something
we human beings
are inflicted with.

- Well, how was services?
- They were wonderful.

Millie made bread pudding
for the potluck.
It was scrumptious.

She asked about you.
Rose did too.

Cassie, go on inside
and change and put some flour
on the chicken.

I'll be right in
to mash the potatoes.

[ Coins Clink ]

Payday.

Everything all right?

Yes.

Well, thank you.

- For?
- The money.

You more than earned it.
I wish it could be more.

No, it's fine.

- It's Sunday.
- That it is.

- Will you be joining us
for supper?
- Is that an invitation?

Well, remember what
your mother said about answering
a question with a question.

[ Chuckles ]
Yes, I'd love to
join you for supper.

Tidy up.
I've got chicken to fry.

I'll unhitch
the team for you.
[ Whinnies ]

[ Cassie ]
What happened next?

So there were Daniel and I.
We were creeping right behind
these grave robbers...

on this road so dark
you couldn't even
see your own two feet.

- Were you scared?
- Little bit.

Them old boys, they got thirsty.
So they laid that corpse
down on the road,

and they headed off
to the creek
to get a quick drink.

And then what happened?

Daniel and I, we grabbed
that old poor dead fella,

and we flung him
in the ditch!

And then Daniel gets down,
just like this,

and he stretches out
in that corpse's place.

- No foolin'?
- No foolin'.

Them old boys came back,
they didn't realize their corpse
was a few inches shorter.

And there was Daniel,
lying back, just like this.

What did Daniel say?

He said...

[ Loudly ]
"Am I gettin' heavy, fellas?"

I was a bit rowdy
in my younger days.

I bet you were.

- Hello, Clark.
- Miss Millie.

- Is it that day already?
- Yes, ma'am.

Time just slips by.

Such a precious thing
we can never get back.

Seems to be goin' faster too.
Probably 'cause I been so busy.

Being happy
can cause time to fly too.

Yes, ma'am.

So, won't be long.

Won't be an indentured
servant anymore.

[ Chuckles ]
Well, I guess I never thought
about it quite like that.

Suppose you'll be heading west,
following your dream?

I reckon.

I thought about it
a lot as of late.

It's been my plans
for a long time.

Plans can change.

Yes, ma'am.

[ Horse Whinnies ]

Hold up there,
Mr. Davis.

Sheriff.

I got some news for you
on, uh, Daniel Whittaker.

- They hang him?
- Nope.

Escaped the noose this time.

Got six months
on a chain g*ng.

That's good news.

Could be.

Or maybe they just
postponed the inevitable.

I'm obliged you told me.

Yep. Good seeing you
at the dance the other night.

- Ellen looked mighty pretty.
- Yes, sir.

- Yes, she did.
- Mm-hmm.

Elbow's acting up.

Big storm brewin'.

Mind that old ladder.
Wouldn't want you
to break your neck.

Very funny, Miss Cassie.

Good morning, Clark.

Mornin'.
Beautiful day, isn't it?

That it is.
None better.

You fixin' shingles?

Probably take a few days
to tighten them all down.

Sheriff's predicting rain.
[ Chuckles ] I think his elbow
is wrong this time.

- At least not for a few days.
- [ Chuckles ]

[ Thunderclap ]

Looks like
Sheriff Holden's elbow
was right again.

Apparently so.

Could've held off
a few days so I could
get those shingles fixed.

Looks like the old roof's
holding up just fine.

- It's your move.
- Will the stock be all right?

Put 'em in the barn
before it even started rainin'.

[ Whispers ]
It's still your move.

[ Thunder Rumbles ]

[ Thunderclap ]

Still your move.

[ Thunderclap ]

The storm's gettin' worse.

It seems that way.

Oh, I knew
I should've fixed that
when I first got here.

- Where you going?
- Everything I need to fix it
is still up on the roof.

- It can wait.
- It's rainin' outside.

Well, little bit of water
never hurt nothin'.

Except a good checker game.

Clark, please, stay inside.

[ Thunderclap ]

Lightning can hurt you.

Especially if you're on a roof.

[ Thunderclap ]

[ Thunderclap ]

Do you think he'll be
all right up there?

Lord, I hope so.

You need to tell him
to get down.

All right. I'll try.

If you haven't noticed,
he can be a little stubborn.

[ Thunderclaps ]

[ Thunderclaps ]
[ Grunts ]

[ Groans, Screams ]

Cassie!

[ Thunderclap ]

[ Thunderclap ]

[ Cassie ]
Is he dead?

I'll probably wish
I'd be tomorrow.

I'm sorry. I'm gonna
get back up to the barn.

No, no, no.
No. You'll sleep
here tonight.

We'll sleep
by the fireplace,
right, Ellen?

You'll stay here tonight.

[ Grunts ]
How does your head feel?

Is it sore?

Do you have a headache?

No.

Good.
That's not a concussion.

Cassie,

will you go
and fix Clark some coffee?

[ Clark Sighs Deeply ]

I was so scared
when you fell.

I thought I'd lost you.

But I should've had faith that
the good Lord who brought you
here wouldn't take you away.

I prayed,
and he answered.

He did answer.

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

Now, Ellen, I--

Rest now,

my love.

Lord, you deliver us
from evil,

you allow no weapons
formed against us
to prosper.

Thank you
for protecting Clark.

[ Cassie ]
Clark? Are you sure
you should be out of bed?

How's the stock?

Everything's there
except the milk cow.

Storm blew the door open
last night.

She won't go far.
I'll check the meadow.

I'll check the woods.
She probably ran for cover.

I'll go with you.

You know, her milk
might be spoiled
for a couple days.

Fright tends to
do that to a cow.

That's no matter.

You're walkin'
a little stiff.

[ Chuckles ]
Feelin' a little stiff.

And sore.

I was so frightened
when you fell last night.

I'm lucky I ain't crippled.
Or worse.

But nothin' happened.
It was a miracle,
plain and simple.

"He is faithful
who promised."

Yeah, well,
late last night,

after the storm,
when it got quiet,

I said a prayer.

I haven't done that
in years.

Clark.

You know, I think
I might've gotten back some
of that faith I used to have.

When I was a kid,
Ma and Pa took me to church.

You never told me
you used to go to church.

I don't know
what happened. I--

I just sort of
fell away from church.

Last night,

you kissed me
on the forehead.

You called me your love.

I thought you were sleepin'.

Did you mean it?

Yes. I meant it.

And I mean it now.

[ Cow Mooing ]

Thanks for breaking
the mood, Sarah.

[ Both Chuckle ]

All right.

[ Man ]
I can't wait.
I'll be right over.

So you're really
not going to California?

I've been thinking on it.
You know, like Millie said,
sometimes plans change.

Something special
changing those plans?

Whoa. Whoa!

John, good to see you.
All right.

Go ahead
and get out, folks.
Good to see you too.

How you doin'?
All right.

Burt.
Sir.

How you doin', sir?

[ Woman ]
Don't you think?
Oh, I definitely agree.

Oh, my gosh.

What's wrong?

[ Man ]
Just need to get
your signature right here.

That's him.

Who?

Jake Weller.

What are you
gonna do?

I guess I should
go talk to him.

- What will you say?
- I don't know.

Clark, I--

No, no. It's, uh--
You do what you must.

It's fine.

Hello, Jake.

Hello, Ellen.

You're alive.

Why would I be
anything else?

I never expected
to see you again.

Well, I told you
I would come back.

That was over two years ago.

And not a word from you since.

I thought you were dead.

It's so good to see you.

Cassie,
why don't you wait on Ellen.
I'm gonna ride back.

[ Man ]
I'll take you all the way
to St. Louis. Yes, ma'am.

Don't you wanna see
what happens?

That ain't nothin'
I need to see.

Hey, is Millie
still in business?

Um--

Yes.

Okay. Well, let's go there,
have something to eat.

We can catch up
on lost time.

All right.

We can catch up on things.

[ Man ]
You need some help?
[ Man #2 ] No, we're good.

[ Man #1 ]
All right.

[ Jake Chuckles ]

I hit the big one.

Enough gold
to buy a small country.

Bought a big, beautiful
house in San Francisco,
up on a hill.

You can watch
the Pacific Ocean all day.

I'm real happy for you, Jake.

Oh, you're gonna love it there.

I... can't imagine
livin' in San Francisco.

[ Jake Chuckles ]

Well, neither could I,
but...

look at me.

You seem very happy
and sure of yourself.

Yeah, well,
now I'm back, Ellie.

A rich man,
just like I promised.

And I'm sittin' across
a table from you--
[ Sighs ]

asking you to marry me.

Are you proposin'?

[ Chuckles ]

Yes.

Yes, I am, Ellen Barlow.

Will you marry me?

Clark?

I'm so sorry.

Me too.

I'm gonna go back up
to the hill camp.

I'll finish my commitment
up there.

I know you must be feeling
confused and hurt.

Could be.
I'll be all right.

Millie once told me
there's a difference
between a crush and true love.

And I understand now
what she meant.

You told me about
bad memories that can haunt.

There's only room in my life
for one man.

And he's the man
I wanna marry.

And that man is Clark Davis.

Are you sure?

I've never been more sure
about anything
in my entire life.

Nothin' I thought I wanted
matters anymore.

Only you.

Will you marry me?

[ Man ]
I now pronounce you
man and wife.

Son, you may kiss
your bride.

[ Woman ]
Aw.
[ Crowd Murmuring ]

[ Ellen Narrating ]
Clark Davis never did
make it to California.

He never made
his fortune in gold,

nor saw
the Great Wall of China.

Instead he found his way
to the Barlow Farm...

and into our lives and hearts.

"For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also."
