[birds chirping]
2
00:00:10,093 --> 00:00:12,469
[Laura] Three, two, one.
3
00:00:12,470 --> 00:00:14,596
[happy music playing]
4
00:00:14,597 --> 00:00:17,308
[Laura and Mary giggling]
5
00:00:19,853 --> 00:00:22,438
- [Mary] No, let me do it!
- [Laura] No, let me do it.
6
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:24,441
[both laughing]
7
00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:31,739
I think that was faster. [chuckles]
8
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:33,158
Fast enough to win?
9
00:00:33,908 --> 00:00:35,243
It depends who we're racing.
10
00:00:36,536 --> 00:00:37,412
[Laura grunts]
11
00:00:37,996 --> 00:00:40,164
How much do Ma and Pa
owe Miss Henderson again?
12
00:00:40,165 --> 00:00:42,500
- Six dollars?
- Six dollars and thirty cents.
13
00:00:44,002 --> 00:00:46,670
I'll win the slingshot competition
and the ring toss.
14
00:00:46,671 --> 00:00:47,672
That's ten cents.
15
00:00:48,173 --> 00:00:50,966
You'll win the embroidery competition
and the essay contest.
16
00:00:50,967 --> 00:00:52,926
That one's worth a whole dollar.
17
00:00:52,927 --> 00:00:55,721
It won't make up all the debt,
but it'll make up some of it.
18
00:00:55,722 --> 00:00:56,723
Shh.
19
00:00:58,224 --> 00:01:00,142
I don't want them to know that we know.
20
00:01:00,143 --> 00:01:03,229
- I wanna win the money and surprise them.
- All right.
21
00:01:06,858 --> 00:01:09,693
[Carrie fusses]
22
00:01:09,694 --> 00:01:11,946
[horse whinnies]
23
00:01:12,822 --> 00:01:14,865
- Admiring your corn again?
- [Charles] That's right.
24
00:01:14,866 --> 00:01:18,203
Next year we'll plant twice as much
and buy a milk cow
25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,748
and get to building a bigger house…
26
00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:25,667
one with bedrooms.
27
00:01:25,668 --> 00:01:26,503
[laughs]
28
00:01:30,006 --> 00:01:31,841
Mortgage payments will come in
any day now.
29
00:01:32,425 --> 00:01:35,344
The crops will be in.
I'll do more winter hunting and trapping.
30
00:01:35,345 --> 00:01:38,306
We'll have plenty of furs to sell.
Dream big.
31
00:01:38,932 --> 00:01:42,059
I'll dream big when that mortgage
starts coming on time every month.
32
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:43,353
[both laughing]
33
00:01:45,063 --> 00:01:45,897
[Caroline chuckles]
34
00:01:46,606 --> 00:01:49,109
- What do you think about a bigger house?
- Yes.
35
00:01:49,651 --> 00:01:50,943
We want a sleeping loft.
36
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:54,656
- And a bookcase for our treasures.
- And a sitting room. And a stove.
37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,991
Never hurts to know what you want.
38
00:01:57,784 --> 00:01:59,952
Dream as big as the sky.
Make a plan to get it.
39
00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:02,579
All I'm dreaming about
right now is Founders Day.
40
00:02:02,580 --> 00:02:05,083
Our plan is to eat popcorn
and dance at the dance.
41
00:02:05,667 --> 00:02:06,668
Solid plan.
42
00:02:08,837 --> 00:02:09,671
I wanna dance.
43
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:11,923
[Caroline chuckles]
44
00:02:12,715 --> 00:02:14,717

[indistinct chatter]
49
00:02:32,694 --> 00:02:37,115
[both] Independence is a town
named after a way of life.
50
00:02:37,615 --> 00:02:41,952
The families who came here
were hoping for freedom
51
00:02:41,953 --> 00:02:44,205
and a fresh start in a new place.
52
00:02:45,331 --> 00:02:47,250
- You see, I much prefer your cobbler.
- [chuckles]
53
00:02:49,335 --> 00:02:51,587
I didn't know
that you could play the piano, Mr. Scott.
54
00:02:51,588 --> 00:02:52,588
Years of lessons.
55
00:02:52,589 --> 00:02:55,132
In the West, I'm all about the new songs.
Any requests?
56
00:02:55,133 --> 00:02:56,466
[footsteps approaching]
57
00:02:56,467 --> 00:02:59,553
There's a raffle and kettle corn
and lemonade. Come on!
58
00:02:59,554 --> 00:03:01,139
[both laugh]
59
00:03:02,891 --> 00:03:04,976
Silly me,
thinking it would be a family day.
60
00:03:05,476 --> 00:03:08,395
- It's hard to compete with lemonade.
- [women chuckle]
61
00:03:08,396 --> 00:03:11,106
Not wrong about that.
It's good to see you both.
62
00:03:11,107 --> 00:03:12,108
[William] Mm.
63
00:03:13,359 --> 00:03:15,611
I heard the Osage
are riding out next week.
64
00:03:15,612 --> 00:03:16,905
Most of them, yes.
65
00:03:18,281 --> 00:03:19,324
Will you go with them?
66
00:03:21,242 --> 00:03:22,994
- We haven't decided yet.
- No.
67
00:03:27,165 --> 00:03:29,374
We heard school's starting in September.
68
00:03:29,375 --> 00:03:32,337
Thank goodness.
The girls have had enough of my lessons.
69
00:03:32,921 --> 00:03:34,129
Oh.
70
00:03:34,130 --> 00:03:38,885
- I thought you'd be teaching.
- I don't know. I… I have my hands full.
71
00:03:39,385 --> 00:03:42,096
Ladies and gentlemen of Independence,
72
00:03:42,597 --> 00:03:44,599
may I have your attention, please?
73
00:03:45,725 --> 00:03:49,437
Let me be the first to wish you all…
74
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:52,774
[crowd clapping and cheering]
75
00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:55,777
…a Happy Founders Day!
76
00:03:57,946 --> 00:03:59,197
Hit it, Scott!
77
00:04:00,114 --> 00:04:02,699
[piano playing jaunty music]
78
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:04,494
[children laughing]
79
00:04:11,251 --> 00:04:12,167
Here you go.
80
00:04:12,168 --> 00:04:15,087
The ring toss is at the same time
as the three-legged race.
81
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:18,132
- You're not gonna be able to do both.
- I could enter the ring toss.
82
00:04:18,633 --> 00:04:20,593
If I win, I could give you my prize money.
83
00:04:21,177 --> 00:04:23,428
- You told her?
- She won't say anything.
84
00:04:23,429 --> 00:04:26,181
- We don't need help.
- We do need help.
85
00:04:26,182 --> 00:04:29,935
If we end up staying, you could teach me
how to make flower crowns.
86
00:04:29,936 --> 00:04:31,271
Then we'll be even.
87
00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:35,065
That's fair.
88
00:04:35,066 --> 00:04:38,902
Pa says to dream as big as the sky,
and then make a plan to get it.
89
00:04:38,903 --> 00:04:40,905
[piano music continues in background]
90
00:04:42,407 --> 00:04:43,615
So let's go get it.
91
00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:46,243
[playing upbeat music]
92
00:04:46,244 --> 00:04:48,161
And no one knows where he went?
93
00:04:48,162 --> 00:04:52,416
Apparently, he asked Dr. Blake
in Elk City to take on his patients,
94
00:04:52,417 --> 00:04:55,044
and then he rode
right off the face of the earth.
95
00:04:56,838 --> 00:04:59,132
- Haven't heard anything since.
- [Lacey] Mm-hmm.
96
00:05:00,216 --> 00:05:02,051
Maybe he went back to his wife.
97
00:05:02,593 --> 00:05:05,095
- Why would you…
- Or maybe he went off to divorce her.
98
00:05:05,096 --> 00:05:06,847
It's 50-50. At least now you know.
99
00:05:06,848 --> 00:05:10,309
Know what? I don't know anything
except that he was untruthful.
100
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:13,061
I wouldn't give up on him, not yet.
101
00:05:13,062 --> 00:05:15,189
- Since when are you an optimist?
- Uh…
102
00:05:16,232 --> 00:05:17,858
- I am not an optimist.
- Mm-hmm.
103
00:05:17,859 --> 00:05:19,818
I just know a girl in love when I see her.
104
00:05:19,819 --> 00:05:21,404
Who said anything about love?
105
00:05:22,363 --> 00:05:23,906
[Lacey inhales deeply]
106
00:05:25,950 --> 00:05:27,451
Oh, we're almost out.
107
00:05:27,452 --> 00:05:28,369
[gasps]
108
00:05:29,078 --> 00:05:31,496
Do you want to go
shoot some holes in this barrel?
109
00:05:31,497 --> 00:05:34,374
I always feel so much better
when I shoot holes in things.
110
00:05:34,375 --> 00:05:35,834
No. No, thank you.
111
00:05:35,835 --> 00:05:37,462
[Mr. Edwards clears throat]
112
00:05:39,964 --> 00:05:40,922
How romantic.
113
00:05:40,923 --> 00:05:42,257
Mind if I borrow her?
114
00:05:42,258 --> 00:05:44,217
Go on. I'll finish up here.
115
00:05:44,218 --> 00:05:45,845
[indistinct chatter]
116
00:05:47,305 --> 00:05:49,389
[White Sun] Why'd you tell him
we hadn't decided yet?
117
00:05:49,390 --> 00:05:50,558
Because we haven't.
118
00:05:51,809 --> 00:05:54,895
You've said you didn't wanna walk away
from everything we've built here,
119
00:05:54,896 --> 00:05:56,438
so what changed?
120
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:58,732
I felt like I made
a difference at the signing.
121
00:05:58,733 --> 00:06:02,444
I'd like to keep doing that. Translating,
negotiating, looking out for our future.
122
00:06:02,445 --> 00:06:05,906
Your father wouldn't like it, not after
everything you put into the house.
123
00:06:05,907 --> 00:06:07,658
I don't care what my father likes.
124
00:06:08,242 --> 00:06:11,371
It was one thing when the land was
in limbo, but the deal is done.
125
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,290
I'm afraid we won't be welcome.
We won't be safe.
126
00:06:15,291 --> 00:06:17,919
- On our own land?
- That's not how they'll see it.
127
00:06:19,921 --> 00:06:21,922
Louis said he'd buy
the house and the farm.
128
00:06:21,923 --> 00:06:24,801
Maybe starting over
will be the best thing for all of us.
129
00:06:26,969 --> 00:06:28,971
[melancholy music playing]
130
00:06:31,766 --> 00:06:32,975
All of us.
131
00:06:36,854 --> 00:06:38,773
So you just wanna leave Julia here.
132
00:06:41,067 --> 00:06:42,777
She'll always be with us.
133
00:06:53,871 --> 00:06:55,205
[music fades]
134
00:06:55,206 --> 00:06:58,126
- [man 1] Happy Founders Day to y'all.
- [man 2] Happy Founders Day.
135
00:07:00,169 --> 00:07:03,297
- You told me the money would come.
- It's from my father.
136
00:07:06,217 --> 00:07:07,884
He put Carrie's name in the Bible.
137
00:07:07,885 --> 00:07:09,887
[bell ringing in the distance]
138
00:07:15,017 --> 00:07:15,935
What?
139
00:07:19,021 --> 00:07:20,314
Mr. Gustafson had a stroke.
140
00:07:20,982 --> 00:07:23,817
- Oh no.
- He's alive. He's still recovering.
141
00:07:23,818 --> 00:07:26,903
His wife says they can start payments
once their son comes to help,
142
00:07:26,904 --> 00:07:28,864
but that would be long after the harvest.
143
00:07:28,865 --> 00:07:31,325
- No money for a year?
- At least.
144
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:36,998
The girls need new clothes,
new shoes, books for school.
145
00:07:37,498 --> 00:07:40,042
We're already low
on cornmeal, flour, beans.
146
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,127
And we're in debt.
147
00:07:42,128 --> 00:07:44,129
I hate kicking a sick man
out of his house,
148
00:07:44,130 --> 00:07:46,924
but we could repossess,
look for a new buyer.
149
00:07:49,010 --> 00:07:50,678
I'd have to go back to get things settled.
150
00:07:51,345 --> 00:07:54,182
Even if we had money for the trip,
I… I can't be here alone, Charles.
151
00:07:55,975 --> 00:07:57,101
[Carrie fusses]
152
00:08:03,024 --> 00:08:04,649
[Carrie fusses]
153
00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:06,319
I need to get that teaching job.
154
00:08:06,903 --> 00:08:08,069
What about Carrie?
155
00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:11,407
I'll find someone to watch her.
Or I'll bring her with me.
156
00:08:12,825 --> 00:08:14,368
This town's growing like a weed.
157
00:08:14,869 --> 00:08:17,163
They'll need good carpenters
before the snow comes.
158
00:08:17,872 --> 00:08:20,499
Every time Eli James opens his mouth,
it's about that railroad.
159
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:21,792
There must be jobs there.
160
00:08:22,376 --> 00:08:23,543
[hopeful music playing]
161
00:08:23,544 --> 00:08:24,629
Something will turn up.
162
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:27,757
[Caroline sighs]
163
00:08:32,094 --> 00:08:33,054
Dream big.
164
00:08:38,059 --> 00:08:40,102
[indistinct chatter]
165
00:08:42,396 --> 00:08:44,940
[all cheering]
166
00:08:44,941 --> 00:08:47,276
[Sarah] On your mark, get set,
167
00:08:48,611 --> 00:08:49,569
go!
168
00:08:49,570 --> 00:08:51,572
[crowd cheering and encouraging]
169
00:08:53,282 --> 00:08:55,033
- [Lacey speaking French]
- [Laura] Go, go, go!
170
00:08:55,034 --> 00:08:56,118
- You got it!
- Come on!
171
00:09:00,790 --> 00:09:02,290
We have our winner!
172
00:09:02,291 --> 00:09:03,458
[Mr. Edwards hoots]
173
00:09:03,459 --> 00:09:04,460
Bravo!
174
00:09:06,420 --> 00:09:08,630
- All right, let's go.
- [girls laugh]
175
00:09:08,631 --> 00:09:10,174
- Good job, girls.
- [Mary] Come on!
176
00:09:11,175 --> 00:09:12,218
[Laura laughs]
177
00:09:12,927 --> 00:09:14,637
You must've been a good father.
178
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:17,890
I tried.
179
00:09:21,561 --> 00:09:23,229
They were lucky to have you.
180
00:09:23,938 --> 00:09:25,606
[music fades]
181
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:33,697
- Okay, enough slush.
- [Mr. Edwards chuckles]
182
00:09:33,698 --> 00:09:36,283
I have a slingshot competition to judge.
183
00:09:36,284 --> 00:09:38,286
[indistinct chatter]
184
00:09:44,417 --> 00:09:46,544
[Jemma] Both of you pull at the same time.
185
00:09:47,044 --> 00:09:49,754
No, pull together.
You're pulling separately.
186
00:09:49,755 --> 00:09:52,883
Okay, now hold on the left.
And on the right…
187
00:09:53,384 --> 00:09:54,843
Okay, it's… it's… Oh!
188
00:09:54,844 --> 00:09:56,511
[both chuckle]
189
00:09:56,512 --> 00:09:58,138
It's a spectacular day.
190
00:09:58,139 --> 00:10:00,015
I did have a vision, didn't I?
191
00:10:00,016 --> 00:10:01,142
- Yes.
- [chuckles]
192
00:10:01,726 --> 00:10:05,937
I hear Mary is Romanzy's big competition
for the essay contest.
193
00:10:05,938 --> 00:10:08,982
I haven't heard a word of it,
but she's been practicing for weeks.
194
00:10:08,983 --> 00:10:10,818
Oh! May the best speaker win.
195
00:10:11,402 --> 00:10:12,361
[Jemma chuckles]
196
00:10:13,321 --> 00:10:15,655
I've been thinking
about how much I miss teaching.
197
00:10:15,656 --> 00:10:19,284
[Jemma] Higher on the right side.
Exactly, like that. Hold it. Hold it.
198
00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:21,329
Perfect. [sighs]
199
00:10:23,247 --> 00:10:24,831
I'm sorry, you were saying?
200
00:10:24,832 --> 00:10:28,127
I… I'd like to take the teaching position
when the term starts.
201
00:10:28,628 --> 00:10:33,049
Caroline, that position's been filled.
A young woman Margaret recommended.
202
00:10:33,549 --> 00:10:37,470
She has two years' experience
and comes with very high marks.
203
00:10:37,970 --> 00:10:38,888
Oh.
204
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:42,182
You know teaching's for unmarried women.
205
00:10:42,183 --> 00:10:44,643
Those are not my rules.
They're just the rules.
206
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:47,521
You've got your baby and your family.
207
00:10:48,022 --> 00:10:52,233
And I'm sure you'll agree
this town needs as many young, fresh faces
208
00:10:52,234 --> 00:10:53,735
as we can tempt.
209
00:10:53,736 --> 00:10:55,029
- Of course.
- [Jemma sighs]
210
00:10:56,781 --> 00:10:59,325
Besides, I've got something else for you.
211
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:01,993
Once the railroad comes in,
212
00:11:01,994 --> 00:11:04,872
I'll be entertaining
and hosting new arrivals.
213
00:11:05,373 --> 00:11:07,582
[whispers] Eli is planning to run
for mayor.
214
00:11:07,583 --> 00:11:09,752
That's a secret. Don't say a word.
215
00:11:10,252 --> 00:11:12,295
I'll have my hands absolutely full,
216
00:11:12,296 --> 00:11:15,299
which means I won't have
much time for the Women's Society.
217
00:11:16,425 --> 00:11:17,677
I'd like you to take it on.
218
00:11:18,386 --> 00:11:22,014
I'd still be the director, of course,
but you'd manage the day-to-day.
219
00:11:24,475 --> 00:11:25,643
The women look up to you.
220
00:11:26,143 --> 00:11:27,602
[unsettling music playing]
221
00:11:27,603 --> 00:11:28,688
I'm flattered.
222
00:11:30,022 --> 00:11:32,024
Unfortunately, I need paid work right now.
223
00:11:33,401 --> 00:11:34,985
Oh, I didn't realize.
224
00:11:39,281 --> 00:11:40,866
I'll let you get on with your day.
225
00:11:46,831 --> 00:11:50,251
The Judson's planning to expand
their restaurant and bakery.
226
00:11:50,876 --> 00:11:53,086
They'll be looking for an excellent cook.
227
00:11:53,087 --> 00:11:55,464
I'd be happy to recommend you,
if that's of interest.
228
00:11:57,591 --> 00:11:59,259
Yes, thank you.
229
00:11:59,260 --> 00:12:02,221
And you'll let me know
about the Women's Society?
230
00:12:03,097 --> 00:12:06,100
You'd want a working woman
to head your society?
231
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:09,520
We're all working women, aren't we?
232
00:12:10,020 --> 00:12:12,022
[heartwarming music playing]
233
00:12:15,067 --> 00:12:16,025
[music fades]
234
00:12:16,026 --> 00:12:20,322
I was wondering,
now that the treaty is signed,
235
00:12:21,073 --> 00:12:23,367
if the town might be getting
some railroad work.
236
00:12:24,076 --> 00:12:25,119
If so,
237
00:12:26,454 --> 00:12:28,664
I'd appreciate you putting in
a good word for me.
238
00:12:29,206 --> 00:12:30,707
There certainly is work,
239
00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:33,878
and I'd be happy to recommend you
as a potential foreman.
240
00:12:34,378 --> 00:12:36,088
We could use a man like you.
241
00:12:37,006 --> 00:12:37,840
Thank you.
242
00:12:38,340 --> 00:12:42,803
Of course, a railroad
in Independence will take some time,
243
00:12:43,512 --> 00:12:46,306
but there's plenty available
on the extension lines.
244
00:12:46,307 --> 00:12:49,017
Could be Nebraska,
or, more likely, Colorado.
245
00:12:49,018 --> 00:12:51,020
[indistinct chatter]
246
00:12:54,190 --> 00:12:56,941
I don't know if I like the idea
of being that far away from my family.
247
00:12:56,942 --> 00:12:59,236
It would only be for a year or so.
248
00:13:00,154 --> 00:13:02,948
I'll imagine you've got
big plans for that land.
249
00:13:03,449 --> 00:13:05,576
- Yes.
- Think about it.
250
00:13:06,285 --> 00:13:08,495
Now I need to go see about my girls.
251
00:13:08,496 --> 00:13:12,957
They have a knack for finding trouble.
They get that from Jemma, not me.
252
00:13:12,958 --> 00:13:14,835
- [Eli chuckles]
- [kids laughing]
253
00:13:16,962 --> 00:13:20,131
I am pleased to announce
that our first-prize winner
254
00:13:20,132 --> 00:13:25,554
for excellent design,
color choice, and stitchwork is…
255
00:13:29,725 --> 00:13:32,435
- Mary Ingalls.
- [clapping]
256
00:13:32,436 --> 00:13:34,522
- Thank you.
- [Margaret] Well done.
257
00:13:35,564 --> 00:13:36,524
[laughs happily]
258
00:13:37,358 --> 00:13:39,318
Excellent work. Very good.
259
00:13:46,367 --> 00:13:47,368
[groans in exasperation]
260
00:13:49,495 --> 00:13:50,578
[Emily laughs]
261
00:13:50,579 --> 00:13:52,372
- Congratulations.
- [chuckles]
262
00:13:52,373 --> 00:13:55,376
Thank you. You won something too?
263
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,837
Gingersnaps, first prize.
Didn't have much competition.
264
00:13:58,838 --> 00:14:00,840
[both laugh]
265
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:04,468
I haven't seen Caleb anywhere.
266
00:14:05,594 --> 00:14:07,763
He was a little down this morning.
267
00:14:08,597 --> 00:14:09,973
Wouldn't tell me why.
268
00:14:09,974 --> 00:14:12,100
[upbeat music playing]
269
00:14:12,101 --> 00:14:13,811
Maybe you can find him, cheer him up?
270
00:14:15,938 --> 00:14:17,856
[Emily laughs]
271
00:14:17,857 --> 00:14:20,359
[door opens, closes]
272
00:14:21,151 --> 00:14:22,361
Thank you, ladies.
273
00:14:26,615 --> 00:14:28,533
[music fades]
274
00:14:28,534 --> 00:14:29,410
Hello.
275
00:14:31,412 --> 00:14:32,955
Dr. Tann, welcome back.
276
00:14:34,248 --> 00:14:37,501
- I was hoping we could, uh, talk.
- Well, I need to get going.
277
00:14:38,961 --> 00:14:40,713
I don't require company, thank you.
278
00:14:41,213 --> 00:14:44,425
- I'm just back from Philadelphia.
- Well, I hope you had a nice trip.
279
00:14:44,925 --> 00:14:48,094
- Emily, I'd like to explain.
- There's no need. A no is a no.
280
00:14:48,095 --> 00:14:50,973
I sent divorce papers home
just after our Christmas.
281
00:14:52,808 --> 00:14:54,435
My wife wouldn't sign them.
282
00:14:56,687 --> 00:14:57,521
I see.
283
00:14:59,690 --> 00:15:01,400
When you asked about the future,
284
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,029
I knew I had to go
and get it settled immediately.
285
00:15:09,575 --> 00:15:10,409
So I did.
286
00:15:13,954 --> 00:15:14,914
Hm.
287
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:16,957
Enjoy your day.
288
00:15:17,541 --> 00:15:19,543
[emotional music playing]
289
00:15:22,588 --> 00:15:23,631
[Mr. Edwards] Want some?
290
00:15:24,214 --> 00:15:26,383
Fought off Old Man Spencer
for the last of it.
291
00:15:27,551 --> 00:15:29,553
It's fine.
He doesn't have any teeth anyway.
292
00:15:34,224 --> 00:15:35,475
[music fades]
293
00:15:35,476 --> 00:15:36,643
Cheer up.
294
00:15:36,644 --> 00:15:39,979
It's Founders Day.
Two years of Independence.
295
00:15:39,980 --> 00:15:42,690
Sam Parker just told me a crew
of young men came into town
296
00:15:42,691 --> 00:15:44,360
to work construction last week,
297
00:15:45,402 --> 00:15:46,445
charging half the rate.
298
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:48,113
Half the rate?
299
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:51,033
They even know one end
of a hammer from the other?
300
00:15:51,533 --> 00:15:52,368
Does it matter?
301
00:15:57,331 --> 00:16:00,124
The couple that bought our land
in Wisconsin just defaulted.
302
00:16:00,125 --> 00:16:00,960
[sighs]
303
00:16:02,378 --> 00:16:05,130
Thought I might try to pick up
construction work this fall, but…
304
00:16:06,924 --> 00:16:08,342
I just can't seem to get ahead.
305
00:16:12,513 --> 00:16:16,308
I have a spot of work chasing strays
on a cattle drive coming up.
306
00:16:17,101 --> 00:16:18,227
Happy to split the job.
307
00:16:20,020 --> 00:16:22,146
Probably give you a milk cow for free.
308
00:16:22,147 --> 00:16:24,525
The calves,
they struggle to keep up with the herd.
309
00:16:25,442 --> 00:16:27,611
Sure your girls
would love some fresh butter.
310
00:16:28,362 --> 00:16:31,365
- Now, that's generous.
- Nah, purely selfish.
311
00:16:31,949 --> 00:16:34,660
If you don't stick around,
you don't help me build my house.
312
00:16:36,829 --> 00:16:39,832
- A house?
- Hm. Things are settled with the land.
313
00:16:41,083 --> 00:16:42,001
Figured
314
00:16:43,544 --> 00:16:44,962
maybe I should get settled too.
315
00:16:48,257 --> 00:16:50,883
Look, don't worry about those young men
and their cheap work.
316
00:16:50,884 --> 00:16:54,346
First gust or gale that hits,
people want good work from professionals.
317
00:16:57,725 --> 00:17:00,394
What do you say we go
into this rail-splitting competition,
318
00:17:00,894 --> 00:17:02,354
show these young men who's boss?
319
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,278
Hi, Laura. Who's your friend?
320
00:17:10,154 --> 00:17:11,405
This is Good Eagle.
321
00:17:12,614 --> 00:17:15,199
Good Eagle, this is Edith and Romanzy.
322
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,872
- How come you never came to play with us?
- You were mean about Caleb. That's why.
323
00:17:20,456 --> 00:17:22,040
Have you finally learned to read?
324
00:17:22,041 --> 00:17:24,835
Or will you have to sit with the babies
when school starts? [laughs]
325
00:17:26,253 --> 00:17:27,337
I can read.
326
00:17:27,921 --> 00:17:30,382
Next competitor, step forward.
327
00:17:41,310 --> 00:17:42,644
[coughs]
328
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:46,606
[Romanzy and Edith laugh]
329
00:17:46,607 --> 00:17:50,193
So I guess you were lying about being able
to hit a rabbit from 20 paces.
330
00:17:50,194 --> 00:17:52,488
[both laugh]
331
00:17:53,113 --> 00:17:55,532
[sad music playing]
332
00:17:59,995 --> 00:18:01,997
[bell jingles]
333
00:18:23,310 --> 00:18:25,187
I won the embroidery contest.
334
00:18:25,979 --> 00:18:27,981
You should've seen Romanzy's face.
335
00:18:29,608 --> 00:18:30,901
Congratulations.
336
00:18:33,987 --> 00:18:35,530
[music fades]
337
00:18:35,531 --> 00:18:36,698
Are you all right?
338
00:18:40,994 --> 00:18:41,995
You got a letter.
339
00:18:44,456 --> 00:18:45,374
From my mother.
340
00:18:46,416 --> 00:18:47,251
Your mother?
341
00:18:47,835 --> 00:18:51,712
After Christmas, Emily put notices
in newspapers all over the country.
342
00:18:51,713 --> 00:18:54,091
My mother saw one, and she wrote to me.
343
00:18:54,716 --> 00:18:57,552
She said that she didn't know
what had happened to me.
344
00:18:57,553 --> 00:19:00,429
She's living in Cincinnati now,
and she wants me to come home.
345
00:19:00,430 --> 00:19:02,598
[melancholy music playing]
346
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:03,725
Oh.
347
00:19:04,309 --> 00:19:06,145
I wanna see her more than anything.
348
00:19:06,895 --> 00:19:09,231
But what if Emily gets upset
at me for leaving?
349
00:19:10,357 --> 00:19:11,942
Emily won't be upset.
350
00:19:13,235 --> 00:19:14,361
She'll miss you.
351
00:19:16,613 --> 00:19:17,698
But she won't be upset.
352
00:19:18,615 --> 00:19:19,741
What about you?
353
00:19:23,620 --> 00:19:25,164
Family is everything.
354
00:19:27,124 --> 00:19:28,542
I want you to have that.
355
00:19:40,387 --> 00:19:41,555
But I'll miss you too.
356
00:19:44,057 --> 00:19:44,975
[music fades]
357
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:49,061
Independence, the word,
stands for freedom and self-sufficiency.
358
00:19:49,062 --> 00:19:52,607
And Independence, the town,
stands for those same values.
359
00:19:52,608 --> 00:19:55,234
I don't want to go to school next year.
360
00:19:55,235 --> 00:19:56,778
Forget about those girls.
361
00:19:57,279 --> 00:19:58,321
We'll sit together,
362
00:19:58,322 --> 00:20:01,365
and no one will bother us
'cause we're smarter than all of them.
363
00:20:01,366 --> 00:20:04,035
You don't even know if you're staying yet.
364
00:20:04,036 --> 00:20:05,912
[Romanzy continues in background]
365
00:20:05,913 --> 00:20:07,748
I might be all alone next year.
366
00:20:08,332 --> 00:20:11,083
You have your sister.
You'll never be alone.
367
00:20:11,084 --> 00:20:13,336
[Romanzy continues in background]
368
00:20:13,337 --> 00:20:14,213
You're right.
369
00:20:15,172 --> 00:20:17,382
[Romanzy] …for other
like-minded individuals.
370
00:20:18,091 --> 00:20:19,926
His hard work paid off.
371
00:20:19,927 --> 00:20:22,387
Our town is more than Independence.
372
00:20:22,971 --> 00:20:24,014
It is home.
373
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,433
- [all applauding]
- [Jemma exclaims]
374
00:20:30,979 --> 00:20:32,022
First.
375
00:20:33,273 --> 00:20:35,817
Well done, Romanzy James.
376
00:20:36,318 --> 00:20:39,528
Last but not least, Mary Ingalls.
377
00:20:39,529 --> 00:20:41,156
[indistinct chatter]
378
00:20:44,701 --> 00:20:46,328
Miss Ingalls?
379
00:20:49,414 --> 00:20:51,499
- You should go up there.
- [Reverend] Miss Ingalls?
380
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:54,835
- No. Mary's the smart one.
- Last call for Miss Ingalls.
381
00:20:54,836 --> 00:20:56,171
You're just as smart.
382
00:20:57,589 --> 00:21:00,300
Then the competition is concluded.
383
00:21:00,801 --> 00:21:01,843
Wait!
384
00:21:03,762 --> 00:21:04,763
I'm Miss Ingalls.
385
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,351
[crowd murmuring]
386
00:21:21,780 --> 00:21:24,615
[hooves clopping]
387
00:21:24,616 --> 00:21:26,326
[horse whinnies]
388
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:32,833
Independence…
389
00:21:34,876 --> 00:21:37,421
is a town named after a way of life.
390
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:45,761
[tender music playing]
391
00:21:45,762 --> 00:21:49,182
Independence is actually
a funny name for a town like this.
392
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:53,979
The prairie is so big, and we're so small.
393
00:21:56,023 --> 00:21:57,190
The truth is
394
00:21:58,775 --> 00:22:00,944
none of us can make it alone here.
395
00:22:03,238 --> 00:22:04,740
We need help from each other
396
00:22:05,365 --> 00:22:07,117
when we need a place to live
397
00:22:07,909 --> 00:22:09,619
and when we get sick
398
00:22:10,370 --> 00:22:11,830
and when we get lonely.
399
00:22:13,665 --> 00:22:17,293
Independence isn't about self-reliance
400
00:22:17,294 --> 00:22:21,881
or liberty or freedom
or any of those things.
401
00:22:21,882 --> 00:22:24,092
It's a place to come together,
402
00:22:25,594 --> 00:22:27,971
a place to find out who you really are.
403
00:22:28,972 --> 00:22:33,267
Independence means getting to know
people who have been here a long time
404
00:22:33,268 --> 00:22:35,895
or people who have just arrived,
405
00:22:35,896 --> 00:22:38,940
people who are different
from anyone you've known before
406
00:22:39,566 --> 00:22:41,735
or people who feel like family.
407
00:22:43,570 --> 00:22:44,612
[footsteps approaching]
408
00:22:44,613 --> 00:22:48,283
Independence isn't really a place.
409
00:22:49,284 --> 00:22:50,494
It's an idea.
410
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,872
It's the people
you carry around in your heart.
411
00:22:57,709 --> 00:22:59,043
[applauding]
412
00:22:59,044 --> 00:23:01,337
- [woman] Good job, Laura!
- [crowd cheering]
413
00:23:01,338 --> 00:23:02,838
[man 1] Good job, Laura!
414
00:23:02,839 --> 00:23:04,090
- Whoo!
- Yeah!
415
00:23:04,091 --> 00:23:05,384
Bravo!
416
00:23:05,967 --> 00:23:08,052
- [man 2] Amazing speech!
- [whistling]
417
00:23:08,053 --> 00:23:09,054
Laura!
418
00:23:10,972 --> 00:23:11,973
Laura!
419
00:23:13,016 --> 00:23:13,934
Bravo!
420
00:23:14,434 --> 00:23:15,685
Good for you, Laura.
421
00:23:16,186 --> 00:23:18,062
[indistinct]
422
00:23:18,063 --> 00:23:19,606
Her speech was just great.
423
00:23:21,316 --> 00:23:22,275
[Reverend clears throat]
424
00:23:28,532 --> 00:23:30,617
And the winner is…
425
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:40,459
Romanzy James.
426
00:23:40,460 --> 00:23:41,544
[Jemma exclaims, laughs]
427
00:23:41,545 --> 00:23:43,463
- Well done!
- [Eli] Bravo!
428
00:23:44,423 --> 00:23:45,340
Bravo!
429
00:23:48,677 --> 00:23:49,594
Thank you.
430
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:54,850
[man] Here's to more.
431
00:24:01,022 --> 00:24:02,149
It doesn't matter.
432
00:24:03,442 --> 00:24:05,152
That was the best speech I've ever heard
433
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:07,404
and the truest.
434
00:24:11,241 --> 00:24:13,285
What do you say we go have some music?
435
00:24:14,453 --> 00:24:16,829
- [fiddle playing]
- [Laura giggles]
436
00:24:16,830 --> 00:24:18,832
[audience claps rhythmically]
437
00:24:19,332 --> 00:24:21,626
[man vocalizing]
438
00:24:22,836 --> 00:24:23,712
[man] All right.
439
00:25:08,006 --> 00:25:10,008
[Mr. Edwards laughs]
440
00:25:24,064 --> 00:25:25,397
[music ends]
441
00:25:25,398 --> 00:25:26,690
- [people whoop]
- [man] Yeah!
442
00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:28,108
[Laura giggles]
443
00:25:28,109 --> 00:25:29,236
This way.
444
00:25:32,072 --> 00:25:34,074
[slow music playing]
445
00:25:48,213 --> 00:25:49,839
What's rattling around up there?
446
00:25:51,299 --> 00:25:54,344
You ever thought about
settling down again?
447
00:25:57,138 --> 00:25:59,432
I've tried my hand at a settled life.
448
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:02,143
It doesn't agree with me.
449
00:26:03,937 --> 00:26:09,192
See, I think I've realized that I am…
I'm at my best when I'm part of a family.
450
00:26:14,990 --> 00:26:16,700
I wish I could give that to you.
451
00:26:17,450 --> 00:26:18,618
[melancholy music playing]
452
00:26:32,257 --> 00:26:35,510
[laughing]
453
00:26:39,931 --> 00:26:41,307
Can we talk?
454
00:26:41,308 --> 00:26:44,269
Just because we danced doesn't mean
I have anything to say to you.
455
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:48,481
- You have every right to be upset.
- I'm glad we agree on that.
456
00:26:52,110 --> 00:26:53,528
You made me feel like a fool.
457
00:26:56,239 --> 00:26:58,949
- I'm sorry.
- Why didn't you just tell me?
458
00:26:58,950 --> 00:27:02,495
I don't know. I…
You caught me by surprise, I suppose. I…
459
00:27:03,288 --> 00:27:05,123
I didn't expect to fall in love again.
460
00:27:06,916 --> 00:27:08,752
[heartwarming music playing]
461
00:27:10,754 --> 00:27:13,465
I thought about you
every moment I was away.
462
00:27:15,216 --> 00:27:17,844
And I very much want you
to be part of my future…
463
00:27:20,930 --> 00:27:22,223
if you'll still have me.
464
00:27:24,184 --> 00:27:25,018
[Emily scoffs]
465
00:27:27,771 --> 00:27:29,230
Now maybe we just…
466
00:27:31,441 --> 00:27:34,152
have another dance for now.
467
00:27:43,411 --> 00:27:44,787
[music fades]
468
00:27:44,788 --> 00:27:46,790
[slow music continues]
469
00:27:55,632 --> 00:27:57,758
I remember the first time I saw you dance.
470
00:27:57,759 --> 00:27:59,968
I remember you barging in
with a wagon full of books
471
00:27:59,969 --> 00:28:01,553
in the middle of our cotillion lesson.
472
00:28:01,554 --> 00:28:04,056
You offered to show me the library.
473
00:28:04,057 --> 00:28:06,183
I wanted your Jane Austen.
474
00:28:06,184 --> 00:28:09,229
- Come on. I was charming.
- You certainly thought so.
475
00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:14,067
We had no idea what was ahead of us.
476
00:28:18,113 --> 00:28:19,030
Love.
477
00:28:20,198 --> 00:28:21,241
War.
478
00:28:21,908 --> 00:28:22,784
Loss.
479
00:28:24,244 --> 00:28:27,038
- Promise.
- We thought everything was possible.
480
00:28:28,915 --> 00:28:32,669
- We wanted to find a new way to live.
- It's not what I thought it would be.
481
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,338
I'm not sure it ever is.
482
00:28:41,678 --> 00:28:43,138
I wanna try again.
483
00:28:44,723 --> 00:28:45,974
To start again.
484
00:28:46,975 --> 00:28:48,727
I wanna feel that promise,
485
00:28:49,769 --> 00:28:51,020
that possibility.
486
00:28:57,694 --> 00:28:58,695
You were right.
487
00:29:00,363 --> 00:29:02,115
She'll always be with us,
488
00:29:05,034 --> 00:29:06,369
no matter where we go.
489
00:29:19,549 --> 00:29:22,677
I'll, uh…
I'll talk to Louis about the farm.
490
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:24,637
Mm.
491
00:29:38,526 --> 00:29:40,987
[crowd applauding]
492
00:29:42,489 --> 00:29:43,781
[music fades]
493
00:29:43,782 --> 00:29:45,784
[light piano music playing]
494
00:29:47,786 --> 00:29:49,454
- [Carrie coos]
- Hello, sweet, happy.
495
00:29:50,371 --> 00:29:51,456
Yeah.
496
00:29:53,208 --> 00:29:54,458
May I have this dance?
497
00:29:54,459 --> 00:29:56,002
[footsteps approaching]
498
00:29:57,086 --> 00:29:58,421
We can watch Carrie.
499
00:30:01,716 --> 00:30:03,218
[Carrie gurgles]
500
00:30:06,930 --> 00:30:08,932
[both chuckle]
501
00:30:11,267 --> 00:30:13,353
I know the day didn't go
exactly the way we hoped.
502
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:16,773
It never does, does it?
503
00:30:22,529 --> 00:30:23,863
I know we can make it work.
504
00:30:26,574 --> 00:30:27,659
We always do.
505
00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:37,502
[music continues]
506
00:30:42,757 --> 00:30:44,759
[tender music playing]
507
00:30:54,227 --> 00:30:55,812
[Russell] What have you done?
508
00:30:56,938 --> 00:30:59,357
What have you done? You've ruined lives.
509
00:31:00,024 --> 00:31:02,986
What are you gonna do?
You're not gonna walk away from me.
510
00:31:03,528 --> 00:31:04,404
- Hey!
- [Eli] I won't.
511
00:31:04,904 --> 00:31:06,154
I'll be right back.
512
00:31:06,155 --> 00:31:08,032
[Russell] Don't walk away from me, James.
513
00:31:10,285 --> 00:31:12,786
Hey! Don't you walk away from me, James.
514
00:31:12,787 --> 00:31:14,621
I said not here, Kind.
515
00:31:14,622 --> 00:31:16,958
Pay for it? I paid with my sweat.
516
00:31:17,458 --> 00:31:19,543
- [Charles] Leave him be, Russell!
- [thunder crashes]
517
00:31:19,544 --> 00:31:20,460
[Russell] Hey.
518
00:31:20,461 --> 00:31:21,795
He's a snake.
519
00:31:21,796 --> 00:31:24,798
He lured us all here to watch us
get thrown out of our homes.
520
00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:27,135
Go on! Tell him, James.
521
00:31:28,344 --> 00:31:31,096
Now that the deal
with the Osage has gone through,
522
00:31:31,097 --> 00:31:33,557
the government wants
to kick us all off our claims
523
00:31:33,558 --> 00:31:35,726
unless we pay up in the next two weeks.
524
00:31:35,727 --> 00:31:38,645
- What do you mean?
- The Homestead Act isn't any good here.
525
00:31:38,646 --> 00:31:40,731
Now that they bought
the land from the Osage,
526
00:31:40,732 --> 00:31:43,233
the government wants

533

Fair market value.
534
00:32:02,211 --> 00:32:03,670
And if I don't have it?
535
00:32:03,671 --> 00:32:06,715
The marshals will see to it that you

I could arrange a loan from the railroad.
541

A foreman's salary would be
more than adequate to pay it back,

We could sell off some of the furniture,

the pocket watch, the combs, the fiddle.
555
00:33:38,474 --> 00:33:41,394
If our jobs come through,
it might get us through the winter.
