Original subtitles

Previously, on When Calls the Heart...

I'm his wife.

Nora Avery.

You lied to me.

Please, you don't know the whole story.

[Rosemary] Why didn't things work out between us?

Rosie...

[Abigail] Clara, you're free now.

I would like it very much if you came home with me.

[Abigail] You make a handsome couple.

[Elizabeth] He's one of my favorite people.

[piano playing in saloon]

[laughter and banter]

[Elizabeth] It's so good to see everyone.

I'm so happy to be back.

Oh, we're very happy that you're back.

And you must tell us everything about Hamilton.

Oh! Well...

It was so wonderful catching up

with my sisters and parents,

and friends.

I understand your mother was quite ill.

How is she?

Much better. Thank you for asking.

Well, I'm just glad you're back in time

for school to begin.

I know the children are looking forward to it.

[laughs] Are they?

I've missed all of them so much.

And all of you.

Though I presume you've missed someone in particular the most.

[♪♪]

Well, I believe Miss Thatcher

will be occupied for the remainder of the evening.

Shall we?

[♪♪]

I've been looking for you.

Yeah. I just got back in from Rock Creek.

It's good to see you.

You too.

[♪♪]

One more dance.

No! You said that three dances ago,

and now I am thirsty.

May I please have something to drink?

Me too, please. Thank you.

[exhales deeply]

Hey, who is the woman that Jack is talking to?

Oh, well, that's Elizabeth.

The woman of the hour.

Our dear little school teacher.

Mm. Do I detect a note of jealousy?

[chuckles] Now, don't be silly.

I've never been jealous of another woman.

Never in my whole life.

Really? I don't know...

You and Jack seem pretty chummy to me.

Now who's jealous?

Mm. I've never been jealous a day in my life, either.

I'm just interested in the history.

Well, that's exactly what it is-- history.

Okay.

[♪♪]

The town must just love Elizabeth,

to welcome her like this.

This is your home now, too, Clara.

I'm glad you agreed to come back with me.

It's a fresh, new start.

I hope so.

And thank you so much

for giving me a job at the cafe.

Oh! There isn't anyone

I would rather work side-by-side with every day.

[both chuckling]

[♪♪]

Here you go.

Thank youl!

Mr. Coulter was just telling me

that his sawmill will be opening tomorrow.

"Our" sawmill.

As far as I'm concerned,

the mill belongs to everyone in this town.

Including me?

Especially you.

In fact, tomorrow, the first board we cut

is gonna be yours.

Well, how about that?

My very own board!

I'm so honored!

Oh, I love this song.

Lee, ask me to dance.

Rosemary, would you like to dance?

Hmm... Let me see.

[laughs] Yes!

Okay! It's nice to meet you.

You too.

[both chuckling]

Oh... he seems like an interesting character.

Yeah. He's a good man.

[Elizabeth] And apparently sweet on Rosemary?

Uh-huh.

He couldn't have been too pleased

when our "brave Mountie" swooped in

to save the town's "cherished actress."

Yeah, look, Elizabeth, about that--

I'm teasing you.

I've learned to take everything that woman says

with a shaker full of salt.

[♪♪]

Aren't you going to ask me to dance?

No.

Come for a walk with me.

[♪♪]

Keep them closed.

They are!

Okay.

Open.

Oh, Jack...

It needs a few finishing touches,

but it'll be ready by the time school starts.

What do you think?

Do you like it?

You did that?

I had help.

[sighs]

It's wonderful.

Welcome home.

[♪♪]

Utensils on the left, napkins on the right.

I set the tables a half-an-hour before we open.

That shouldn't be a problem.

Good.

Today's menu is simple--

Roast chicken and ham steak.

No sweet potatoes.

Jason Campbell will ask,

and you'll have to remind him that the ground froze this year,

and the crop is late.

No sweet potatoes.

Now, we will be busy the first hour we're open--

keep the coffee cups filled, and they won't squawk.

No potatoes. Keep their coffee filled.

Great. I'm gonna leave this in your capable hands.

Oh! And, uh,

Friday is pay day.

Oh! You don't have to pay me.

You have done so much for me already.

Clara...

no matter where you go, or what you do,

you mustn't let people take advantage of you.

Always remember that.

[♪♪]

One down... thousands to go.

All right, take it to the saloon, boys.

Make sure everyone signs it, all right?

Gowen. You're just in time.

In time for what?

Despite your best efforts, the mill is up and running.

That there is our first board.

Congratulations.

Don't pretend you're happy for us.

You've been gouging me with fees and drowning me in paperwork

since I got here.

I only have the best interest of this town in mind.

I always have.

The only interest you have in mind is your own.

But that doesn't concern me.

Because I'm gonna do more for this town than you ever did.

The mill... it's just the beginning.

Good morning.

I assume Constable Thornton

showed you the new school?

He's done such a wonderful job.

You have no idea.

That man was pounding nails

like he was Noah bracing for the flood.

[giggles]

He wanted to get it finished before you came home.

[door opens]

[door shuts]

Good morning, ladies.

[overlapping] Good morning--

...Constable.

Chilly day today, isn't it?

It is.

Oh! Mr. Harper.

What brings you to town?

Ladies, uh, sorry to disturb, um... ahem.

I'm in a bind.

Uh, Mrs. Blakeley, I was hoping maybe you could help me.

Of course. As long as I can.

You see, my brother's fallen ill,

and he has a ranch just south of Jameson

and I need to go lend a hand for a day.

I was hoping maybe you could look in on the kids

while I was gone.

Nellie can do most of the chores,

and Patrick, he tries his best,

but I'd really just feel more comfortable

if there was somebody there to watch over them.

I'm sorry, I would, if I could,

but I have to take my youngest to the doctor

in Buxton.

Of course. Thank you.

I could do it!

Are you sure, Miss Thatcher?

I mean...

it's an awful lot to take on all by yourself.

Mr. Harper, I may have been raised in the city,

but I am a Hope Valley woman now.

Besides, I'll have Nellie and Patrick

there to help me.

Well... I mean, it is only a day.

Thank you. I do appreciate it.

It's my pleasure.

[Hushed] Maybe you could look in on her?

I don't need anyone to look in on me!

And Constable Thornton is far too busy

to look after me.

[pointedly] Isn't he?

[♪♪]

[door opens and closes]

The grade and the geological look good.

Prime location for a railway spur.

That's what I like to hear.

Taking orders left right, and center.

I guarantee I can fill three rail cars a week.

Railway makes money,

I avoid having to truck my lumber

all the way over to the mainline.

And you can guarantee those orders?

Better believe I can.

And business aside,

imagine what the spur line's gonna mean

for the people of Hope Valley.

Trains in and out every week...

it's exactly what this town's been waiting for.

I'll have to speak to the chief engineer first,

but I can't imagine what would get in our way.

Ahh. Good news is my favorite kind.

Can I buy you a drink?

We've got some work to finish up.

Track me down this afternoon.

Okay. Deal.

Oh, and Ken?

Let's just we keep this between you and me for now.

I understand.

Okay. Excellent. Thank youl!

Oh, what else... Oh!

Watch the door on the chicken pen.

The latch tends to falls open if you don't pin it shut.

And believe me, you do not want to wake up

with chickens scattered all over hell's half-acre.

No. Of course not!

Just keep the animals fed,

and you'll be fine.

The kids'll fill you in on anything else.

The indoor chores, Dad?

Oh. Yeah. It's gonna get real cold at night,

so I'd get the fire going first thing in the morning.

At about what time?

4:00 would be good.

4:00 a.m.?

Mm-hmm. And remember to secure the door

when you go to bed.

We have a couple coyotes around here

who think they're house pets.

Coyotes?

- Mm-hmm. - Yeah, but...

they're not strong enough to break down the door.

If it's locked.

And...

you might want to wear

something a little less dear to your heart.

No, this will be fine, I'm sure.

Suit yourself.

All right, kids, you be good, you hear?

Thank you, Miss Thatcher. I do appreciate it.

Have a safe trip.

Thank you. Hyah!

[splash]

[both stifling their chuckles]

[indignant gasp]

[coyote howl]

Miss Thatcher?

Miss Thatcher!

[gasps]

Are you okay?

What are you doing up at this hour?

It's 4:00. We always get up at this time.

Already?

[weary grunt]

Shall we have some breakfast?

Well, we have to do the chores first.

Oh. All right.

What are they?

We start with mucking the stalls.

[dozily] Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

What's that?

We clean up after the cows and horses.

Clean up what?
