00:00If there's an orphan, it would be helpful if you were there to vouch for me.
00:03Helpful. It's in my job description.
00:05My suggestion is you not mention this gold find to anyone.
00:10You planning on bidding on the Lawrence ranch?
00:16Good morning. What ails you?
00:18Sam!
00:21Watch out!
00:23Hold on.
00:27What's that?
00:28It's just a small bite.
00:29From a rattlesnake.
00:31There she is.
00:33Hi, Jimmy.
00:34My name is Nora.
00:59My name is Nora.
01:15Your first day of school today, Jenny. Are you excited? I guess.
01:33Our teacher, Ms. Caspi, is really nice. Tomorrow, I get to help set up like Art and Wally did this morning.
01:40Well, it'll be fun to meet some of the other kids. I'll probably be one of the oldest.
01:45With age comes wisdom. At least, that's what I tell myself.
01:53Who are you trying to impress?
02:00No one. Why can't I help?
02:03I just figured you haven't carried anything heavier than a fancy dress in a few years.
02:06I wouldn't want you to pull a muscle.
02:07I'll be fine.
02:10Ms. Lawrence!
02:11You've saved me a trip out to your ranch.
02:17I've been meaning to talk to you.
02:19Good. I'm glad I found you.
02:21I've decided to decline your offer.
02:24I'm going to wait for the auction on Saturday.
02:27My offer was more than fair, Ms. Lauren.
02:30Perhaps. But I've done the research. I think it's worth one.
02:33If this is a tactic, it's just business.
02:35Your uncle Ray and I had a mutual respect.
02:40I don't know what it's like where you're from, but around here, ranching is never just business.
02:52Her body is worse than her bark.
02:55Wait, isn't it the other way around?
02:56Not with Tess.
02:57Hello, hello. Good morning, good morning.
03:08Slow down.
03:10Hello.
03:10Hey.
03:11Morning.
03:13Hello, girls.
03:14Good morning.
03:15This is Jenny, who recently joined us.
03:17Welcome, Jenny.
03:20She's 15.
03:21I'm not exactly sure how much formal schooling she's had.
03:25I went to school all the time until I was 12.
03:27Well, I'll give you an assessment, and we'll figure out where you are grade level-wise.
03:31Why don't you go on in, and I'll find you a desk.
03:33Have fun. I'll see you after school.
03:35Okay.
03:37Thank you for lending me Art and Wally this morning. They were a huge help.
03:40Oh, they were thrilled to do it.
03:41Great.
03:43Oh, Ms. Casby, have you met Mountie Fletcher?
03:46Oh, are you taking over for Gabriel?
03:48Temporary way.
03:49Oh, well, it's good to meet you.
03:51You as well.
03:52Bye-bye, Nora.
03:53Have a great day.
03:56How's the wound?
03:57Right is right.
03:59How's Jenny?
04:01She's good.
04:03I detect some uncertainty.
04:06It's just, she seems to be wounded by life, which is understandable given her circumstance.
04:13She seems really eager to please.
04:16Enjoy it while I can.
04:18From what I hear, teenagers are usually anything but eager to please.
04:21Ah, one of my favorite people.
04:24And my most frequent patient.
04:26Notice she didn't say favorite.
04:28Well, my favorite patients follow nurses' orders, like staying off their feet while they
04:32heal.
04:33You all have a job to do.
04:34Indeed.
04:36Shall we?
04:37Yes.
04:38If you'll excuse us, we have breakfast plans.
04:41Certainly.
04:41Good morning, ladies.
04:52Table for two?
04:53Uh, that would be lovely.
04:55Thank you, kind sir.
04:57We're right this way.
04:59Thanks.
05:00Sam took a job, mate.
05:01I've noticed.
05:03He wants to see if he likes working in a hotel.
05:05Why?
05:06Well, he's thinking he might buy one when, you know, okay.
05:16So, how much can I get for this delicious cup of coffee?
05:20Do I hear five cents?
05:21Oh, I hear five.
05:22Five.
05:22Going once, five going twice.
05:24Sold to the lovely lady in the blue outfit.
05:27I'm sorry?
05:29No, I'm practicing.
05:30I'm the auctioneer for the Lawrence Ranch.
05:32Oh, well, I'm sure you'll be making top dollar.
05:35That's what I'm afraid of.
05:36Oh, Tess, can I get you a table?
05:38Nope, don't bother.
05:40Enjoy.
05:42Morning, Harley.
05:44Tess.
05:47Enjoying your breakfast?
05:48Eggs are a little runny, and the bacon wasn't as crispy as I like.
05:53But something tells me you're not really interested in that.
05:57You bidding on the Lawrence Ranch.
05:59I'm guessing she turned you down.
06:02I just want to know who I'm bidding against.
06:06It's prime bottom land, Tess.
06:08Everyone wants a piece.
06:16Here you go.
06:17Room two, upstairs to your right.
06:19There, uh, a problem?
06:30Sam, the first rule of working the front desk, always upsell.
06:34Person asks for a regular room, you talk them into a suite.
06:37Ask for a suite, you talk them into the deluxe suite.
06:39Same thing in the restaurant.
06:41Person asks for chicken, you talk them into a steak.
06:43You order a steak, you talk them into a bigger steak.
06:45Oh, got it?
06:47Got it.
06:48All right, that's the boy.
06:49Carry on.
06:54Hi, Debbie.
06:55Oh, I see you have some new pastries.
06:58I'm doing an international-themed week.
07:00So we have, um, apple strudel from Austria, baklava from the Ottoman Empire, cannoli from Italy, and cardamom buns from Sweden.
07:08I love baklava.
07:10Try one.
07:14Mmm.
07:15Oh, just takes me right back to Constantinople.
07:18Mmm.
07:19The rug merchants, the crowded markets, such a vibrant, colorful suite.
07:23Such a high praise.
07:24You know what's not represented here?
07:28England.
07:29You're right.
07:31Have you ever heard of a Bakewell tart?
07:33Can't say that I have.
07:34It's a pastry from the town of Bakewell in the district of Derbyshire.
07:38Sounds very English.
07:39My mom used to make them.
07:40I think I have the recipe.
07:42They melt in your mouth, pure perfection.
07:44I can make you a batch if you like.
07:46Are you sure?
07:47Oh, no trouble at all.
07:48It'll be fun.
07:54Those legal papers?
08:02No, it's Jenny's file.
08:04They arrived today from the Children's Bureau.
08:07Oh, really?
08:09It says here that she spent nine months at the Hamilton Orphanage.
08:13Just like she said.
08:15Then there are notations that say that she came from the Lorraine Orphanage in Ohio,
08:20but none of those files are included.
08:22It says here that it was shut down due to lack of funding and many records were lost.
08:30That's a shame.
08:37Come in.
08:44Oh, uh, sorry.
08:45I didn't mean to interrupt.
08:46No, it's fine.
08:47I'm just trying to come up with a new design.
08:50Looks fancy.
08:51I love fancy, but what I'm looking for here is functional and unique.
08:56Something St. Louis hasn't seen before.
08:59Sounds like a tall order.
09:02Look, I've been hearing some talk around town,
09:04and it seems like we're going to have a few interested parties tomorrow.
09:07Maybe even a wild card buyer.
09:10Really?
09:12You made the right call.
09:14Not taking Tessa's offer.
09:17Raise?
09:17I've just been going through it.
09:26I drew that when I was ten.
09:30I want to stay here forever.
09:33Crazy childhood dreams.
09:35Sometimes life changes us in ways we never suspect.
09:40Sometimes it does.
09:41Jenny?
09:42Jenny, what are you doing?
10:09Looking for a part-time job.
10:11Why?
10:13Because I'm 15 and old enough to work now.
10:16You want to work?
10:18I want to help out.
10:21It costs money to run an orphanage.
10:25When I'm older, I'll get a job too.
10:29That's good, Annie.
10:32We all have to pitch in.
10:34Now go to sleep.
10:35Okay.
10:35Okay.
10:35Okay.
10:35Okay.
10:35Okay.
10:35Okay.
10:35Okay.
10:36Okay.
10:37Okay.
10:37Okay.
10:37Okay.
10:38Okay.
10:39Okay.
10:39Okay.
10:40There we go.
10:42Okay.
10:42Okay.
10:43Okay.
10:43Okay.
10:44Okay.
10:44Okay.
10:44Okay.
10:45Okay.
10:45Voila! The Bakewell Tart.
10:50Nice!
10:51Have a taste.
10:52Oh, don't mind if I do.
10:56Mmm.
10:57Mmm.
10:59It's interesting.
11:01It's, um, I mean, it's very, um, very different.
11:05Yeah, I wasn't sure if I put too much salt, or not enough sugar, or maybe the baking powder's off.
11:11Yum.
11:12Good.
11:12Well, I'll leave the plate here and let your customers try them.
11:15Unless you don't want to offer them.
11:17No. Yes, of course I do. Yes.
11:19My customers are going to love this scrumptious delight.
11:22Great. Well, I'll come by later to see what they think.
11:25Sounds good.
11:26Ta-ra!
11:41Jenny, did you do this?
11:43Uh, I was awake, so I figured, why not?
11:46Jenny made breakfast?
11:49Oh, wow.
11:52Where'd she learn how to cook?
11:54At my Ohio orphanage.
11:56You know, the children would help out with the cooking.
11:58I'm not in trouble, am I?
12:00No, this is all very sweet.
12:02But we'll take over from here.
12:04You go upstairs and get ready for school.
12:07Oh, uh, Jenny, we received your records from the Children's Bureau, but some of the ones from Ohio were missing.
12:15It doesn't surprise me.
12:18Why's that?
12:18The place was really disorganized.
12:21Oh.
12:29I don't see why we're doing this.
12:31Well, work's still got to get done.
12:34Depends on who buys it.
12:36They might have their own ranch hands.
12:37My money's on Tess Stewart.
12:41You don't have any money.
12:43No.
12:43But she does.
12:49I don't know.
12:50She's tough.
12:52Oh.
12:53So don't start working on my account.
12:55Just taking a breather, boss.
12:57Hey, boss.
12:58I think we'll have a job left after the auction.
13:01At this rate, I'm not sure you'll have a job before the auction.
13:04Got it.
13:05Good morning, Constable.
13:07Call me Michael.
13:08Can I interest you in a delectable pastry?
13:11They all look so good.
13:12Debbie, Michael, International Week looks like a hit.
13:16Mm-hmm.
13:17And what will you have, Joe?
13:20How's this?
13:21Oh, I didn't make those.
13:22Oh.
13:23Who did?
13:24Maggie.
13:24They're Bakewell tarts from England.
13:27Maggie the nurse?
13:28Mm-hmm.
13:28One and the same.
13:29Well, she does everything well.
13:30How much?
13:31Free samples.
13:32But, you know, you should really try my cardamom buns or the cannoli.
13:35You can't beat the price.
13:35I like that price.
13:36Ha.
13:39I did try to warn you.
13:42It doesn't live up to its name.
13:45It's not.
13:46I dwell.
13:48I didn't have the heart to tell her.
13:52Here she comes.
13:54Um, you should tell her.
13:56Why me?
13:56Because you're law enforcement.
13:58That's a crime against food.
13:58With my injury history on it, I'm not upsetting to tell the nurse.
14:02So, did you try my Bakewell tarts?
14:05We did.
14:06And what did you think?
14:08Yeah, it was unlike anything I've ever tasted.
14:11Mm-hmm.
14:11And I'm not sure I ever will again.
14:13Really?
14:15I get back to my store.
14:16And I've got to finish my rounds.
14:18Wow.
14:18Did you hear that?
14:19Like nothing I've ever tasted.
14:20I'm not sure what it is.
14:21Ha, ha, ha.
14:26Annie said that Jenny was looking at Help Wanted ads last night.
14:31Talking about how much it costs to run an orphanage.
14:35Is that normal?
14:37When it comes to orphans, I'm not sure what normal is.
14:42I can't imagine what she's been through.
14:44I wish I had her complete file.
14:48Well, it would certainly help us understand her better.
15:01How would you like your taste buds transported to England?
15:06Pretty partial to England these days.
15:09That's sweet.
15:09And speaking of sweet, I made this myself.
15:15Have a taste.
15:17Okay.
15:19Hmm.
15:24Hmm.
15:26Um, what's this?
15:29It's called a Bakewell tart.
15:31They're so unique.
15:33I know, right?
15:34I left some at Debbie's pastry stand, and I can leave some for the hotel guests.
15:38But you have to promise me you won't eat them all yourself.
15:41And I can promise you I won't.
15:44Sam.
15:45Hi, Tess.
15:47I'm glad to see that, uh, allergy's cleared up.
15:51You're looking a little queasy, though.
15:53I'm fine.
15:53Not queasy at all.
15:56Oh, Tess.
15:57I, uh, need to speak with you.
16:01Man named Huntsman by the window.
16:03Don't look.
16:04I know who that is.
16:06Well, you know, he wanted me to keep my hair to the ground there, so I just, uh, I mean, once I'm given a task, I'm...
16:12Jerry Huntsman.
16:13It's been a while.
16:15Tess to her.
16:16Because I live and breathe and eat.
16:19Last time I saw you, you were running a feedlot at the railhead in Clearwater.
16:24Hmm.
16:25As I recall, your husband was head of the Ketamers Association at the time.
16:28Well, now I am.
16:29By all means, please, have a seat.
16:34That's right.
16:35It was your husband who put me out of business.
16:38That's because you were cheating honest ranchers, selling rotten feed at premium prices.
16:43Cheating.
16:44What's up?
16:45It was full of weevils.
16:47Hmm.
16:48I can't please everyone.
16:50You're living large.
16:51Hope you can afford to pay for that.
16:53Company can.
16:55Expense account.
16:56Delicious.
16:57You sure I can't get you anything?
16:58Company.
16:59Yeah.
17:01L&M Cattle Company.
17:02Based out of Chicago.
17:04Hired me to be their business agent.
17:07L&M hired you.
17:09Yep.
17:09Name's on the card.
17:11They know money.
17:12I know the area.
17:15They're looking to acquire the Lawrence Ranch, and I'm here to buy it for them.
17:19How about you?
17:20You aiming to bid?
17:22I'm aiming to buy.
17:24That was good for you.
17:27Dream big.
17:28Bring a checkbook.
17:59Thanks.
18:01Almost ready.
18:02You're the one with the chain to catch.
18:05Not till after the auction.
18:11I'll get the wagon ready.
18:13Okay.
18:18I'm sure you'll be happy with your deluxe suite.
18:26See?
18:28Now that is what I'm talking about.
18:30I'm going to turn you into a fine hotel employee yet, young man.
18:34Thanks, Rod.
18:36Oh, what are these?
18:38Free samples.
18:40Oh.
18:41Those are for customers.
18:44Unhand me, sir.
18:45I am your boss.
18:51What is that?
18:53Pastry.
18:54I beg to differ.
18:56Whoa.
18:57What are you doing?
18:59I'm throwing them out.
19:00No.
19:01I will.
19:02Do it.
19:03Now.
19:07On this, the white rabbit blew three blasts on the trumpet and then unrolled the parchment
19:13scroll and read as follows.
19:16The queen of hearts, she made some tarts all on a summer day.
19:20The knave of hearts, he stole those tarts and took them quite away.
19:24And we'll stop there for now.
19:26No.
19:27Keep going.
19:28Jenny's right.
19:29It's time to wash up for lunch.
19:31I like that Alice in Wonderland book.
19:34Me too.
19:35You know, when I was ten, my parents took me to the Wonderland Falls.
19:40Was it like the place that Alice goes?
19:42There were no talking rabbits or mad hatter.
19:45It was a great big waterfall.
19:47And it was beautiful.
19:48Were there any smiling cats?
19:51Maybe one or two.
20:02Hannah.
20:03What can I do for you?
20:04Hi, Maggie.
20:05Do you have anything for bug bites?
20:07Oh, bug bites happen to be one of my specialties.
20:10Ooh, seems like Brookfield is leaving its mark on you.
20:17Have a seat.
20:20So I hear the auction's happening today.
20:23That must mean you're heading back to the bright lights of home.
20:26I admit I've missed electricity.
20:28And hot running water.
20:30And the telephone.
20:31I'd love to see St. Louis.
20:33You haven't been?
20:34Oh, Maggie, it's just a few days down the railroad tracks.
20:37Ah, here we go.
20:39This should soothe the itch.
20:49I remember getting bit a lot the first summer I came.
20:52After that, the bugs left me alone.
20:55They seem to like new blood.
20:58They must know I don't belong.
21:00They don't know anything.
21:02They're just bugs.
21:03Whether you belong or not is known only by your heart.
21:09You're a lifesaver.
21:22Constable.
21:24I've seen you around.
21:25I haven't had the chance to introduce myself.
21:27Tess Stewart.
21:28I own the large spread just outside of town.
21:30Michael Fletcher.
21:31What can I do for you?
21:34You know, I...
21:37I don't know how you approach your job.
21:38I know your predecessor looked out for the people of Brookfield.
21:43Best job of any constable.
21:44Well, I'm glad to hear you say that because, you know, there is something about to go down that threatens our community.
21:55What's that?
21:57You know the Lawrence Ranch is about to be auctioned off today.
22:00Mm-hmm.
22:01There is a huge cattle corporation that's looking to weasel their way into our community.
22:07And unless we stop them, they'll control river access.
22:11Individual ranching here will cease to exist.
22:14I deal with crimes and civil offenses, not ranching operations.
22:21I know, I know.
22:22I just...
22:26Crimes.
22:29How about the fact they have sent Jerry Huntsman to do their bidding?
22:33You heard of him?
22:34The man's a snake in the grass.
22:36I don't like those.
22:39Does this Huntsman fellow have any outstanding warrants?
22:42I don't know.
22:44I'll check.
22:46But I won't get the answer in time to stop them bidding in the auction.
22:50Nothing else you can do, huh?
22:52My advice?
22:55I'll bid them.
23:13Oh, hello.
23:15How are you feeling?
23:16Better.
23:17Okay, you take care now, okay?
23:22Hello, Sam.
23:23Hi.
23:25Look at that!
23:26They're a big hit.
23:27You know, all this time I thought I couldn't cook.
23:29You were...wrong.
23:32I'll make you more.
23:33No!
23:35Um...
23:36You're so busy...
23:37that on earth...
23:39you should maybe give the pastry bacon to Debbie.
23:42Sweet.
23:44But I can do both.
23:53Ken!
23:55Aren't you headed to Cape Fullerton to arrange our next cattle run?
23:57It's the day after tomorrow.
23:58Listen, we need to talk.
24:00About what?
24:01About the future of ranching in Brookfield.
24:12I need your help in finding out more about Jenny.
24:16Won't be the first background check I do today.
24:18What does that mean?
24:20What's going on with Jenny?
24:22Well, her records only go back to last year at the Hamilton Orphanage.
24:26But I need to know what happened in the Ohio Orphanage.
24:31And I need to have the answers to these questions.
24:37She causing trouble?
24:39Quite the opposite.
24:41She's a real sweetheart.
24:43What's the problem?
24:44Eleanor and I can't help her unless we know her whole story.
24:47Did she get enough to eat?
24:49Was it overcrowded?
24:51We need to know more.
24:57I'll get right on it.
25:05Huntsman's in town for the auction.
25:07Since when?
25:09Since the L&M Cattle Company hired him as their business agent.
25:13They want the Lawrence Ranch.
25:16Who told you that?
25:17Huntsman did, yesterday.
25:20I know you want that ranch, Tom.
25:22So do I.
25:23So does Ken Newsom and Harley Weston and a bunch of others.
25:26Just something I was considering, Tess.
25:28Spare me the song and dance.
25:29We're competitors, but we're also neighbors.
25:32We all lose if the corporation gets that ranch.
25:35There's no need to jump to the worst case scenario.
25:38Oh, come on, Tom.
25:40They could care less about independent ranchers.
25:43It's all about return on investment.
25:46So not only do they own the best pasturage in the territory,
25:50they control access to the river.
25:53You remember 06?
25:56Creeks ran dry.
25:58Ray Lawrence took down his fence so your cattle could get to water.
26:02Ray was a good man.
26:04He stood by his friends.
26:06Then we need to stand together.
26:08Or that corporation outbids us all.
26:11So what are you proposing?
26:17May I offer you ladies a dessert?
26:18No, thank you.
26:20Are you sure?
26:21We have freshly baked apple pie.
26:23We tried one of your desserts and we didn't care for it.
26:28Where?
26:30At the front counter.
26:48Can we talk?
26:53Uh, come in.
26:55Best we do this outside.
27:00Okay.
27:02I sent a telegram to Constable Reynolds in Clearwater about the things you asked.
27:06He made some calls and sent them to just tell her to him.
27:13The phrase raises more questions than it answers.
27:18Tess is right, Harley.
27:20But how will it work?
27:22First we buy it.
27:23Then we figure out how to divide it.
27:25I don't see how we have much choice.
27:26Well, alrighty.
27:27Let's, uh, let's get things started, shall we?
27:29Uh, the, uh, the Lawrence Ranch.
27:31So named after Ray Lawrence, a long-time resident of Brookfield,
27:34and a man much missed.
27:35A close personal friend of mine, and I'm sure a friend of many of you as well.
27:38I used to...
27:40All right.
27:41Uh, so, um, this is a 900-acre parcel of prime bottom land.
27:44And who will open the bidding on this fine piece of property?
27:45Fifteen thousand.
27:46Fifteen thousand.
27:47I have fifteen thousand dollars.
27:48Do I have fifteen-five?
27:50Fifteen thousand.
27:51Fifteen thousand.
27:53Fifteen thousand.
27:54Fifteen thousand.
27:55One.
27:56Fifteen thousand.
27:57Here's what's going on.
27:58Fifteen thousand.
27:59Fifteen thousand.
28:00Here's what's going on.
28:01This is a nine-hundred-acre parcel of prime bottom land.
28:03And who will open the bidding on this fine piece of property?
28:05Fifteen thousand.
28:06I have fifteen thousand dollars.
28:07Do I have fifteen five?
28:09Fifteen-five right here.
28:10Fifteen-five, looking for...
28:11Sixteen thousand.
28:12Sixteen thousand.
28:13There it is.
28:14Right there.
28:15Sixteen-five, anyone?
28:16Seventeen.
28:17Seventeen.
28:18Right here, seventeen.
28:19Front row there.
28:20Seventeen-five, anyone?
28:21Seventeen thousand thousand and five hundred.
28:2218,500. I've got 17,500.
28:2418.
28:2418. There it is, right there.
28:2618,500. Anyone?
28:2818,500.
28:2918,500. Thank you. Looking for 19 now.
28:3119.
28:32We're going to 19. We have it.
28:34I didn't think you'd come.
28:35Neither did I.
28:36Thank you very much. 19,500. Do we have 20?
28:3920.
28:4020,500. Anyone?
28:4120,500.
28:42Looks like Tess cut some sort of deal.
28:45The four of them have pulled their money.
28:47Why?
28:48They're up against a corporation.
28:5021,500. We have 21,500.
28:51Going to 22. Wow. Leapfrogging over that.
28:5422,000. Do we have 22,500?
29:00Sam, you're off work early.
29:03I'm off permanently.
29:05What happened?
29:06I decided to leave the hotel business.
29:09Well, I'm sure you'll find something that suits you.
29:11Say, I was going to drop by.
29:14You have anything for an upset stomach?
29:16Of course. Was it something you ate?
29:19Most likely.
29:20Thank you, sir.
29:2722,500 is the current bid we're looking for.
29:29Do we have 22,500?
29:3122,500.
29:32Thank you. 22,500.
29:33We do have. Looking for 23 now. 23?
29:3525,000.
29:3625,000.
29:38The bidding now stands out.
29:38I'm not watching this to the bitter end.
29:41What would my uncle Ray want?
29:42All business there in the front row.
29:43The corporation to take over a tester to split up the property.
29:4625,500.
29:47I've cut 25,500.
29:49Does anyone want to go to 26?
29:51Who did your uncle leave his ranch to?
29:52Did I mention this is a gorgeous piece of property?
29:55Do I hear 26? Anybody?
29:5726.
29:5726. There it is. Right there.
29:5927.
30:0028.
30:0028,000.
30:02No, no. Stop. Stop the auction.
30:05She can't stop the auction.
30:08The Lawrence Ranch is not for sale.
30:10This auction is over.
30:12Ma'am.
30:13You can't stop.
30:14Just in case you change your mind.
30:17She can't stop the auction.
30:18I don't know what she can do.
30:22Jump. Jump. Jump.
30:25I messed up.
30:32That was fun.
30:35Jenny, can you come inside for a minute?
30:38Sure.
30:39It's my turn next.
30:52Have a seat.
30:55What's wrong?
31:03I had the Mounties reach out to some people in Ohio.
31:11I found out that there's a regulation that prohibits children from cooking in orphanages.
31:19And you told us that's where you learned to cook.
31:21I also discovered that there is no Wonderland Falls in Ohio.
31:29But there is a Wonderland Falls near Hamilton.
31:34You told me that you had never been to Hamilton before you were 12.
31:39But you told Wally and Steve that you went to Wonderland Falls with your parents when you were 10.
31:47What's going on, Jenny?
31:51My name's not Jenny.
31:58It's Dolores Campbell.
32:01And I've never been to Ohio.
32:04I was born and raised in Hamilton.
32:07Why did you lie?
32:13My parents died when I was 12.
32:15My grandma, she took me in.
32:19She was really sick.
32:23I was 15 when she died in the hospital.
32:26No one ever came for me.
32:33But I thought I could get by.
32:36I took odd jobs.
32:39One was cleaning a house for a woman who adopted a baby from the Lorraine Orphanage in Ohio.
32:46She said she couldn't retrieve her child's records.
32:49And that's where you got the idea.
32:52When I turned 17, I realized I was getting too old to ever be put in an orphanage.
32:58I couldn't find any work.
33:04Two Mounties found me sleeping in the park.
33:06One said to the other that I looked 15.
33:09If I said I was 15, I could stay in an orphanage longer.
33:14So, I made up a name.
33:18I said I was from the Ohio Orphanage.
33:20That's when I was put in the Hamilton Charitable Home.
33:26Why did you run away from there?
33:29When I turned 18, I realized I didn't belong there anymore.
33:33So, I ran away to Clearwater.
33:40And you had trouble making it on your own.
33:42I tried, and I really did.
33:46But I know that's no excuse.
33:50Hi, Ronnie.
34:04Maggie.
34:05What ails you today?
34:06I got a scratchy throat.
34:08I think it's from all my auctioneering.
34:10I bet.
34:11I have some tea that will fix that right up.
34:15Ah, terrific.
34:17I had a crazy day.
34:18First I had to fire Sam, and then Hannah calls off the auction.
34:23You're fired, Sam.
34:24I thought he quit.
34:24Oh, no, no, no, no.
34:25He was fired.
34:26Why, may I ask?
34:28Well, he kept putting out these pastries that were hurting my business.
34:32Hurting?
34:33They're hideous.
34:34They tasted like cardboard, only with less flavor.
34:38I wouldn't feed those things to my dog.
34:40Oh, okay, well, that's, that should do you just...
34:47Ah, dandy.
34:48What do I owe you?
34:51Well, at least the corporation didn't buy Lawrence Ranch.
34:54Yet.
34:55As long as it's in that woman's hands, anything is possible.
34:58For now, you need to turn your focus to negotiating a better rate for our cattle over at Cape Forerton.
35:03I need top dollar.
35:04I will do my best.
35:05How long have you gone for?
35:07A week or so.
35:13Is the auction over?
35:15I'm not selling.
35:17Really?
35:18Now I just have to figure out how to run a ranch.
35:21Oh.
35:23Trust you enjoyed that little stunt?
35:26Because you just wasted everyone's time.
35:30This wasn't personal, Tess, truly.
35:32I hope there's no hard feelings.
35:34Well, you can hope whatever you want.
35:38Ranching's tough.
35:40But it's even tougher with no friends.
35:45Who says you don't have any?
35:57Just got this telegram.
35:59Jenny's, or should I say divorce, this story checks out.
36:03She's from Hamilton.
36:05Her parents, Frank and Mabel Campbell, both batted a whooping cough six years ago.
36:10Loris was then taken in by her grandmother, who died of a lung issue three years later.
36:14No record after that.
36:16Poor girl.
36:18Yeah.
36:19She's had a rough life.
36:20Sam.
36:25How are you feeling?
36:32Better.
36:33Good.
36:34Because I have a surprise for you.
36:36You win.
36:37What's this?
36:51Apple strudel, cannoli, cardamom buns, baklava, peanut butter cookies.
37:00Sweets.
37:00You're the sweetest man I know.
37:09So you know.
37:11You didn't have to lose your job over my tarts.
37:14No.
37:15Working the front desk wasn't for me.
37:17From now on, I'm going to stick to what I know best.
37:22Which is just about everything?
37:26I'm okay with my lack of expertise in baking.
37:30Are you?
37:31More than okay.
37:40Don't tell me you missed your train.
37:42I didn't.
37:44What are you doing?
37:45Making sure things are ship shape.
37:47I think you should stay on and run the ranch.
37:49Well, that'll be up to the new owner.
37:51You're right.
37:55You didn't sell?
37:56No.
37:58What about your business in St. Louis?
37:59I'll run it here.
38:04Will you stay on?
38:06Different Lawrence, but same name.
38:08Nothing changes.
38:09Except your uncle was an actual rancher.
38:12Okay.
38:13He wasn't trying to run two different businesses.
38:14Okay, but other than that.
38:19Two peas in a pod.
38:23Is that a yes?
38:29You're not named Jenny?
38:37No.
38:37Uh, my real name is Dolores.
38:40And she's way older than you.
38:41So what, Art?
38:43So you're not an orphan?
38:45No, I'm...
38:46I'm still an orphan.
38:47But I'm 18 now.
38:49So I don't belong here.
38:51Why did you say you're someone you're not?
38:57Because I was scared and hungry.
39:02But that, that is no excuse.
39:05You should never lie.
39:06And it always hurts people.
39:10Even yourself.
39:11I'll miss you.
39:14We'll all miss you.
39:17I...
39:17I will miss you all too.
39:21Children, why don't you give us a moment to speak to Dolores?
39:25Am I in trouble with the Mounties?
39:50No, Dolores.
39:52But I hope you understand that given your age, we can't let you stay here under our care.
40:01I know.
40:03I'll be going.
40:04But we can offer you room and board in exchange for your help here.
40:10Really?
40:12You understand what it is to be an orphan.
40:15And you're a natural caretaker.
40:19We can't afford to pay you.
40:21But you could get a part-time job and make some of your own money.
40:32I'm...
40:33Can I go tell the children?
40:43Go ahead.
40:45You're staying?
40:46Yes, come here.
40:47Right now.
40:48Well, I think more than anything, I just wanted to be part of a family.
40:57This is our second chance.
40:58You...
40:59You know?
40:59No.
41:00Not yet.
41:00It?
41:01No.
41:01No.
41:02No.
41:03It?
41:03No.
41:03No.
41:04No.
41:04No.
41:05No.
41:05No.
41:06No.
41:06No.
41:06No.
41:07No.
41:08No.
41:09No.
41:13No.
41:14No.
41:15No.
41:15And no.
