Original subtitles

Previously, on When Calls the Heart...

I have no intention

of trying to be something that I'm not.

Why are you doing all of this for me?

Well, T just figured it's about time

someone started looking after you, too.

[Gowen]: You're hiding something.

Whatever it is,

I'll find out.

So many people

have issues with romance.

You wouldn't think it would be that hard, would you?

But it is.

I don't know if I'm brave enough

to spend my life with someone as brave as you.

[♪♪]

Why are you doing this?

Doing what?

Pushing us apart.

I'm just trying to be honest with you.

Jack, don't you see?

I'm trying to tell you that I'm afraid of losing you.

I'm afraid you're going to die.

[sobs quietly]

Nobody knows what the future is gonna bring...

All T know

is what I feel for you.

The question is, what do you feel for me?

[dog barking]

Rip.

Rip!

Rip, here, boy!

Rip!

Rip! Here. [whistles]

[barking]

I think he's this way.

No, that's an echo. He's down here.

No, he's this way.

Rip!

Rip!

Rip!

[rustling and creaking]

[Elizabeth shrieks as rock crumbles]

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

- Elizabeth! - I'm all right, Jack.

It just knocked me down, I'm fine.

Are you sure? Is anything broken?

I don't think so.

Okay, grab my hand.

- [yelps in pain] - Slowly.

[gasps intensely] Ooh! My knee.

Just-- just take it easy. Sit here for a second.

[wood creaking]

[gasping]

You all right?

[exhales] I'm fine.

Okay. Let's get you up.

Slowly. Slowly.

Oh. Rip. We need to find Rip.

Right now, we need to get you back to the fire

so I can look at that knee. Hold this.

Jack, I don't need any help.

[gasps]

We'll argue about that later.

[♪♪]

Bill!

Your wife ambushed me at the Mercantile

and made a spectacle in public.

I have never been so embarrassed in my life.

Abigail, I'm-- I'm so sorry.

Nora thinks I'm encouraging you.

I've made it very clear that's not the case.

She doesn't believe you.

She thinks I invited you to Hope Valley.

I promise, this will never happen again.

I hope not.

[rain hammering building]

[Nora]: I'm sorry I lost my temper with Abigail.

You should be apologizing to her, not me.

Guess I'm still not ready to let you go,

not without a fight.

You want your son back, Nora, not me.

Martin's gone.

[whimpers]

And there's nothing we can do to change that.

[sob escapes]

It's time that you let go.

It's time that you let him go.

Thank you.

May I?

Well, it seems fine to me.

It's the other knee.

Oh.

Uh... sorry.

No cuts, no swelling.

It's probably just bruised.

[shivering] Why am I so cold?

You're in shock.

Here.

That helps. Thank you.

You'll feel better soon.

This is all my fault.

How so?

I let Rip out.

That was an accident.

You didn't know.

[laughs]

It's crazy.

I spent so much time worrying about

what would happen to you.

Look what happened to me.

Well, you just proved that being a school teacher

is just as dangerous as being a Mountie.

Apparently, I did.

I just wish you would've picked

a less dramatic way to make your point.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

You know...

I hear...

that the best thing about arguing...

...Is making up.

I have heard that, too.

[Rip barks]

Rip.

[frustrated chuckle]

I'll get him.

You stay here.

I'm not going anywhere.

[♪♪]

Well, that's the last item on the list.

Good. Now you can tell Henry

you won't be shutting down after all.

Well, that's one less thing for me to worry about.

He's made my life so unpleasant lately.

I have to admit it's been difficult

to find forgiveness in my heart for him.

Well... people are rarely

as good or bad as we think they are.

They're usually a combination of both.

Even when it comes to pastors?

Hah.

Especially when it comes to pastors.

[chuckles]

Ahh. Okay.

Well, now that we're done, I'm going fishing.

Mm. Some fresh air does sound good.

It sure does.

I think T'll get going once the storm clears.

I used to love to go fishing.

You wouldn't be looking for an invite, would you?

Oh! No, I have so much work to do here.

Dishes to wash.

Floors to wax. Pies to bake.

Although...

I haven't been fishing in a very long time.

Do you have anything else?

I do have some French lace.

Oh, let's take a look at that.

Certainly.

[door opens]

Oh, Rosemary.

I'm glad I found you.

What is it, Molly?

Well, you know Lee and I have been courting and--

Yes. I think everyone knows.

Yes, well, I know you and Lee

had been spending time together,

and...

I just wanted to make sure

everything was all right between us.

Oh. Um...

Well.

How nice of you to ask.

Uh, I think that it is just fine.

You're sure?

I wouldn't want to do anything that--

[tersely] If Lee wants to court you,

that's really none of my business now, is it?

Oh, I'm so glad!

Say, you're probably the right person to ask.

Ask what?

How soon in a relationship

do you think it's appropriate to accept jewelry

from a suitor?

Jewelry?

Or is it never too soon? [chuckles]

Uh, I...

Oh, dear.

I'm late.

Thanks for the advice.

Bye.

Gowen!

It was you, wasn't it?

You're the one who told Nora I was here.

You're the only one who would've known how to find her.

Well, the more pressing question

is why did she need to be told.

Why would a husband deceive his wife

about his whereabouts?

She's the one who ran out on our marriage.

Why is she here then?

Don't play games with me!

You had your chance with Nora years ago,

and you didn't take it.

No. I didn't.

You know why?

You left Hamilton to work here.

I "left" because I was transferred.

There were racketeering charges

brought up against Pacific Mining.

The company was... reorganized.

That was my investigation.

All charges were dropped.

There's always a scapegoat, though, isn't there?

I see. So you blame me.

Now we understand one other.

I'm gonna tell you this once.

Stay out of my private life.

This is a small town.

you know, people's lives rarely remain private.

It's a shame that Abigail Stanton

had to get caught up in the middle of this.

You know how people love to talk in this town.

I'm warning you.

Take your best shot, Bill.

I am a public official.

You lay a hand on me,

and you'll be spending quite some time in jail.

[♪♪]

Rip!

Rip! Here, boy!

[barks]

Rip! There you are!

Buddy, come here!

Oh, buddy.

I got a treat for ya.

Did you miss me?

There you go!

You miss me? I missed you, too.

Let's go home.

You were so scared!

[Rip barks]

[Viola] Father won't be long.

Would you care for some tea while you wait?

That's very kind.

[rings bell]

Lionel and I are leaving for the opera

as soon as he arrives.

Some tea.

We missed you at the club last weekend.

Work has kept me busy.

My father has kept you busy.

First to arrive. Last to leave.

I've told him to slow down.

He doesn't know how.

[chuckles]

So?

So...

have you heard from Elizabeth?

She's been on your mind, hasn't she?

You'll be glad to know

she's safely back in Hope Valley,

once again playing teacher in the Wild West.

Her students must be happy to have her back.

Please.

You don't have to pretend to be supportive

of her little adventure for my sake.

We both know it's time

she closes that chapter of her life

and gets on with things.

She doesn't seem to see it that way.

That's why you have to convince her to come home.

I'm not sure it's my place.

Can you honestly picture her

spending the rest of her life in that town?

Raising a family? With a Mountie, no less?

I'd hope it doesn't come to that.

Then you need to convince her to come back.

Because I know you, Charles.

I know how deeply you care for her.

You always have.

And if you don't tell her how you really feel...

You'll regret it for the rest of your life.

Whiskey.

Mr. Coulter.

What's happening in the world today?

Well, to be honest with you,

not a whole heck of a lot.

You might want to check tomorrow's paper, though.

Yeah? Why's that?

Oh, no reason, I just have a feeling

it's gonna be a big news day.

Would that have anything to do

with Miss LeVeaux's nasty editorial,

the one that you convinced Mr. Bolt

to allow her to write about me?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

It does, however, sound like a page-turner,

doesn't it?

Mm. Yeah, it's unfortunate

that it won't see the light of day.

I just came from a meeting with Mr. Bolt,

and it would seem

that he's not quite as keen on the story

as he once was.

I see.

You had the story killed?

Well, I simply suggested to him

that perhaps there would be

more interesting stories for him to run

on the front page of his newspaper.

Oh, I'm sure! Let me guess.

"Mr. Patterson's prized chicken

wins blue ribbon at county fair"?

Something like that?

That is a good one,

but even better--

there is an inspector from the Mounted Police in town.

Now, that's something that I'd like to know more about.

Afternoon.

I'm guessing the two of you

weren't making dinner plans.

I have no idea how that man always

manages to land on his feet.

He's smart.

And dangerous.

You seem to know him pretty well.

Henry Gowen and I go way back.

From what I remember of the mining trial,

you weren't exactly best of friends.

Did he say anything I should know about?

Mm. No. Nothing important.

But I'd watch my back, if I were you.

[weary sigh]

[♪♪]

How's the advice column coming along?

Well, sometimes, I wonder

if I'm the right person to be writing it.

Oh, dear. Something must be terribly wrong

if you're not ready to hand out advice.

As it turns out...

I think I could use some myself.

Would this have anything to do

with Lee Coulter and Molly Sullivan?

Well, it has everything to do with it!

Oh, I heard you decided to cool things off with Lee.

I did.

And now?

And now...

I think...

I think I've made a terrible mistake.

Well...

you've had such success with your column,

why don't you try

writing yourself a letter of advice?

Oh... I wouldn't even know how to begin.

Let's see.

You could start with "Dear Jealous."

I think "Hurt and Confused..."

...would be more appropriate.

Are you sure about that?

Yes, quite sure.

All right.

"Dear Hurt and Confused...

You've clearly made a terrible mistake

by not following your heart..."

Yes!

Yes! That's it.

"Dear Hurt and Confused...

Oh, you poor thing.

You've made a terrible mistake

by not following your heart.

If you truly have feelings for this man,

you need to let him know.

How else can he see

the poor decision that he's made?"

Abigail...

You're brilliant.

This is the perfect answer

for poor little "Hurt and Confused."

[laughs]

For a moment there,

I forgot that I was writing to myself!

I guess I haven't lost my touch after all.

You truly have a gift.

I know.

Now, if you'll excuse me...

I need to take my own advice.

[sighs] Oh...

Hey, the road ends here.

Follow the fence about a hundred yards to the east

until you come to an abandoned cabin.

Put your back against the south wall,

step ahead 20 paces straight ahead.

Dig down about two feet and you'll find a metal box.

It has the rest of the counterfeit bills.

It better.

Or you'll be calling Federal prison home

for the rest of your life.

[♪♪]

Rip. You naughty boy.

How are you feeling?

Almost as good as new.

Good.

The storm's passed.

We can head back to town, if you're up for it.

Can we stay here

just a little while longer?

Yeah.

What for?

In here, it's just the two of us, and...

...out there, everything is...

...complicated.

[chuckles softly]

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

But whatever challenges we have to face out there,

I believe that we can take them on together.

Really feels like

we've been given a second chance today.

And I don't want to waste it.

Especially now that I've seen your knees.

Jack.

[both chuckling]

I love you, Elizabeth Thatcher...

I love you, too.

[♪♪]

I'll tell Pastor Frank we'll go fishing another day.

You'll do no such thing.

I'm fine.

Elizabeth,

I really think I should stay with you.

[Jack] It's okay, Abigail.

I'll stay with her.

All right.

I won't be long.

You should really head upstairs to get some rest.

I'm fine right where I am.

You've been through a lot.

You should--

Jack, as much as I like the idea

of having you tend to me hand and foot,

I'm not an invalid.

Just a very bad patient.

Well, if you want to get me that blanket,

I won't object.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

[laughs]

Now I don't feel like resting.

That's because you're still talking.

We don't have to talk.

[♪♪]

I think I found us the perfect spot.

Right on the dock.

Oh, that is the perfect spot.

What's in the can?

Oh. Worms.

I wouldn't insult a fish with artificial food.

[both laughing]

Your father teach you how to fish?

Oh, no. My father didn't believe in girls fishing.

He used to take my brothers every Saturday

while I was home doing the washing.

So I made my own pole

and I would sneak down to the river all by myself.

Wow.

Bet you got in a mess of trouble for that.

Well, IT would have,

but having extra fish for Sunday supper

was a blessing with our big family.

You never came home empty-handed?

Oh! I wouldn't dare.

Well, I'll tell you what,

I'm willing to bet

that my worms will catch more fish

than whatever you've using.

[laughs] Well, I don't want to take your money.

Oh, no money.

Just your pride.

Wow, you really are confident.

[chuckles] You bet I am.

I like that in a woman.

So what do you say? Are we on?

You are on.

[laughs] Okay!

[distant horn honks]

- [light knocking] - [door opens]

[♪♪]

[hitting metal]

[♪♪]

Hello, Lee.

Am I interrupting anything?

No.

No, not at all.

What can I do for you?

I was hoping we could talk.

All right.

What would you like to talk about?

[exhales]

I feel like

there's been a little misunderstanding between us--

about you and me not wanting the same thing,

when I think we do...

...W-Want the same thing.

And what exactly is this thing that we both want?

[words catch]

You and I, we've always been a great team.

Like when we beat Gowen at poker.

That was fun, yes. Wasn't it? Yes.

It was fun!

So what are you saying?

Perhaps...

I could consider

entertaining...

your romantic attentions.

"Perhaps."

[exhales]

When I said I wasn't ready to be swept away,

what I meant was

I didn't want to make the same mistake twice.

I've rushed into things before, Lee,

and I-I made a terrible mess of things,

and the worst part-- [takes a halting breath]

I hurt somebody that I cared a lot about.

Jack.

Jack does seem to have recovered.

Yes.

He did.

Yep.

But I want to make sure I get it right this time.

Look.

I know I...

Can seem SO...

glamorous and larger than life--

But underneath?

I'm just--

Rosemary?

It's okay.

I know.

You do?

Of course I do.

Oh! There's just one problem.

Yes. Molly Sullivan.

Oh, I really don't want to have to hurt her feelings.

You may have to hurt her feelings

just a little bit.

All right. Maybe I can let her down gently, then.

Yes!

Yes.

When?

[laughs]

Um...

I'll do it right now.

[♪♪]

Told you it was a perfect spot.

Calm waters

with just the right amount of current.

God smiled on us today.

Some of us more than others.

Okay, you don't need to rub it in.

Admit it!

Bait trumps your rusty fish lures.

All right, all right. You win the bet.

So, to show you what a good sport I am,

how about this time I make you dinner?

You cook?

Trout.

So it's your lucky day.

I guess it is.

[♪♪]

Are you all right, dear?

I'm fine.

You work for Henry Gowen, don't you?

Dottie Ramsey.

I'm his secretary.

I saw you at his office.

Mr. Gowen says

the two of you have been friends for a long time.

We met before he moved here.

He used to work in Hamilton.

He told me...

that you lost your son.

That must have been...

unbearable for you.

I don't think anyone can understand what it's like.

You know...

people around here understand better than you think.

How could they?

A little over a year ago,

there was an accident at the mine.

Wives lost their husbands

and mothers lost their sons.

You have more in common with the people of Hope Valley

than you know.

It's so hard to talk about it.

Maybe it's time for you to try.

[♪♪]

Elizabeth, how are you feeling?

Do you want something to eat?

I'm fine, Abigail.

You don't need to do a thing for me.

It wasn't that bad.

Not that bad?

Jack said it could've been quite serious!

I guess so.

Mm. Looks like the Mountie saved the day.

[both chuckling]

Well, I hope your two were able to clear the air.

We were.

And you were right.

It's never about what's on the surface.

It's about what's underneath,

getting to the truth.

Did you find the truth?

I think so.

When we were in that mine,

and it felt like...

it could be the end...

all I wanted to do was tell him how I felt about him.

How much I care about him.

How much...

How much you love him?

Everything suddenly became so clear.

It was like I could hear my heart for the first time.

Oh, Elizabeth.

Oh! I almost forgot.

This arrived for you this morning.

It's from Charles.

Ned.

Yes?

Has it arrived yet?

Excuse me. Yes, it has. It is right here.

Thanks.

I must say, this is very exciting.

If we could just keep it between you and I,

I would appreciate that.

Of course. Of course.

Your secret is safe with me.

[William] I have to say

I thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon at the club.

Oh, me too.

Oh, but Julie, darling,

I do wish you had come along with us.

I noticed a lot of eligible young men there.

Some of them were very handsome.

And dull?

Oh, I'm sure if you would at least try,

you'd find someone you like.

Oh, I'm quite sure I wouldn't.

Well, then perhaps...

Well, perhaps Viola and Lionel

could introduce you to some of their friends.

Would you please stop trying to run my life?

Oh, sweetheart, since the beginning of time,

young women of good breeding

have married young men of good breeding.

And they've lived unhappily ever after.

Oh, that simply is not true.

Just because Tom's gone

doesn't mean I've suddenly forgotten him.

Maybe it's time you should.

Or maybe, just maybe, I don't belong here.

Nobody cares what I think. Nobody cares how I feel.

Oh, you know we care about you.

No, you don't!

You only care about yourself and how things look to other people.

You're wrong about that.

Well, why do you think Elizabeth left?

This isn't about Elizabeth.

She wanted a life of her own, like I do!

Only she was brave enough

to go out and do something about it,

instead of staying here and suffocating.

Your sister will be coming back, mark my words.

You know what?

I hope she doesn't.

I hope she stays away

and marries Jack Thornton just to spite you.

How can you say that?

Because you deserve it!

You don't have any respect for her feelings.

You don't have any respect for mine!

Julie, listen to me.

And what if I don't listen?

Will you disinherit me?

Because I don't care!

I don't care about

money, or position, or society, or any of it!

I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that.

[Julie stamps her foot]

The world is changing, Father.

And you'd better start changing with it.

Julie!

[Julie stomps off]

Julie!

[both chuckling]

Hello, Molly.

Oh, what lovely flowers.

Oh, thank you.

They were a gift from Lee.

Mr. Coulter, I must say you have excellent taste.

Ah. In flowers, or women, Ned?

I think it's safe to say both.

- Thank you. - Certainly.

Well, I have to be going.

Molly?

I hope there are no hard feelings.

About what?

Well, Lee.

I know you two were

spending a lot of time together.

Don't worry another minute about it.

It's pretty clear that you two were meant for each other.

[Rosemary giggles]

Thank you. You're very sweet.

I'm glad we can still be friends.

Me too.

Mr. Yost?

I'm thinking of buying a Victrola.

May I look at those catalogues?

Certainly. I have it right here.

Great.

Molly?

Thank you. I think it worked like a charm.

Oh, I knew it would.

She's crazy about you!

Ahh...

She just needed a little push.

Well, you played your part beautifully.

My pleasure.

Thank you.

[♪♪]

That was the best fish I've ever had.

What is your secret?

Beer.

Uh-huh.

It's my granddad's recipe.

I don't suppose

you'd mind sharing it with me, would you?

Nope. I'm sworn to secrecy.

Well, then

you'll just have to make it for me again.

If you catch more fish than me.

Oh...

I don't think that should be a problem,

[both chuckle]

Speaking of secrecy...

All T know about you

is that your grandfather likes to fish

and you're pretty good with a hammer.

You know, there's not much more to tell, really.

Oh, I don't know about that.

The last time we had dinner, you said you almost died.

Yeah. That's right.

What happened?

Well, I made a big mistake and I paid dearly for it.

But that was a...

a different life.

Do you mind me asking what kind of mistake?

[exhales uneasily]

Well, let's just say

that I didn't always work on the right side of the law.

And the reason that I almost died was...

I got shot.

Oh.

I see.

Anyway, I-I...

I made a promise to God,

and...

I said, "God,

if you let me live,

I will dedicate the rest of my life

to doing your good work."

I'm sorry, Abigail.

I know it's probably not what you want to hear--

Oh, no. No, Frank. It's, um...

I-I shouldn't have pried.

I'm sorry.

No, that's okay. I don't mind.

But I would appreciate it

if we just keep this between us.

Other folks won't be so understanding.

Yes. Of course.

I will not speak a word of it, I promise.

Well, I guess it's getting late.

I should probably get going.

I can take these plates for you.

Oh, no. Don't worry. I'll handle that.

[♪♪]

Thanks, Abigail.

[♪♪]

I understand.

No. No one knows.

Well, that would be lovely!

Thank you very much.

[♪♪]

Good morning, Jack.

Good morning, Rosemary.

Well, I suppose you've heard the news?

Lee and I are an item again.

I think everyone in town has heard the news.

[giggling]

I hope Lee knows

how lucky he is to have you.

I think he does.

And I believe there is one schoolteacher

who's going to be very lucky to have you.

Oh, come now.

You can't fool me.

I've seen the way you two look at each other,

ever since you got back from your little adventure.

[both chuckling]

Oh, there's nothing more romantic

than saving the life of a damsel in distress...

and to think--

you owe it all to that silly little dog of yours.

[both laughing]

There is no doubt

Elizabeth is the one for you.

I never thought that I would hear you say that.

Well, then you don't know me as well as you think you do.

It was hard getting over you, Jack.

I loved you

and I always will.

But I want you to be happy.

I really do.

Thank you for that, Rosie.

Just one thing.

Promise me that we'll always be friends.

That is a promise.

And a word of advice?

Don't keep her waiting.

I don't intend to.

Constable Thornton?

This just came for you. It's marked "urgent."

Thanks, Ned.

Well, T'll leave you to your telegram.

Good luck, Jack.

[♪♪]

I just got a telegram from headquarters.

They've ordered me to arrest you.

I can explain.

Explain all this money and these counterfeit plates?

You know I was working undercover!

I also know that case was closed.

I don't have proof yet,

but I have reason to believe somebody on the inside

is working with the counterfeiters.

You think one of our own is dirty?

We've known each other a long time, Jack.

I wouldn't lie to you.

I'm gonna need your gun, Bill.

[♪♪]

I'm taking the car into town.

Oh, will you be at home in time for dinner?

Don't wait for me.

I have a meeting at the club. It might run late.

Viola darling, you look pale.

It's Julie.

What's happend?

This was in her room.

She's run off,

and she says she's never coming back.

Oh, dear God.

[Jack] Elizabeth Thatcher, will you be my wife?

Would you...

[frustrated sigh]

No. Elizabeth...

Will you...

[deep breath, huffs]

I don't know.

Green one?

Blue one.

No.

Green.

[chuckles] Yeah.

Green one.

[Rip grumbles]

[barks]

[exhales heavily]

Here we go.

[Elizabeth] And for you... okay.

Oh, excellent work, Miles. I'm very proud of you.

Thanks, Miss Thatcher.

You're welcome.

Your spelling test will be on Thursday,

and I expect all of your history reports

to be on my desk by tomorrow morning.

All right. Class is dismissed.

[clanging]

Have a good day.

[door thuds]

[knocking]

[door opens]

Oh, my.

Elizabeth...

Will you marry me?

[♪♪]

[♪♪]
