Original subtitles

Previously on, When Calls the Heart. I think we all have reason to be concerned

of the possibility of the mines reopening. I need you to trust me on

this. I just hope you haven't overplayed our hand. If it be your will for us to

bind to this cafe, then we'll do our best to honor you here, Lord. It's the

folks at the bank that I worry about. They wouldn't give us the loan. I'm a

fugitive of sorts.

I believe my wife's in Hope Valley, and I'd like her arrested.

We all still have so much to celebrate, while I officially declare these to

be... Hope Valley Days!

Hope Valley Days.

The inspiration of our very own mayor, Mike Hickam.

On that first rainy day, he talked with pride as he pointed to each of the four

corners at the center of town, which he said would represent the best qualities

in all of us.

The spirit of giving, of hope, fun, and above all,

love.

As we listened, we were inspired too.

Now as we enter the second week of Hope Valley Days, with other celebrations

still ahead, the festivities continue bringing us closer together.

Grateful for where we live and thankful for one another, since there is nothing

more uplifting than sharing joy and laughter together.

Constable! Should I assume you'll be leaving?

Without getting ahead of myself or Mae, since we haven't talked, I might just

stay here.

I'll be approaching the Yosts about the job Mae took under false pretense while

using my name.

Hey, we might even manage the pharmacy together.

I trust remaining in Hope Valley wouldn't be a problem for you?

Have a nice day, Mr. Lewis.

Ned, there he is.

Who's that, Florence? You know, that man Bill and Nathan told us to watch out

for. Really?

Where?

Oh, there.

He's at the pharmacy.

Right, right, right. Look away in case he looks at us.

What should we say if he comes in here?

Do you mind my asking what it is you're talking about?

Jeffrey Lewis.

The man claiming to be May's husband.

Lucas. Hi.

I just heard that Mae Sue... Is married?

Possibly. And you didn't say anything to me?

I felt Nathan told me in confidence.

Good morning.

Morning. Hello. Hi.

Honestly, I don't know what's what when it comes to Mae Sue.

And I wouldn't tell you, even if I did.

Is that so?

That's so.

Then I suppose I'll be going.

Imagine the kiss you might have gotten had you told me.

Well,

I hope you will come for dinner tonight and another night of Hanukkah.

Jack and I wouldn't miss it.

Great.

Oh, what the heck?

I posted a Thanksgiving list at the school with ways of helping families in

need. When you come by to pick up Allie, if you want to sign up.

We'll be sure to do that.

Nathan. Lucas told you about Jeffrey and Mae?

Nope.

At least not until I'd heard about it from someone else first.

Listen, I don't like being the talk of the town.

People care about you, Nathan.

When it seems as though you care about Mae, even if only as a friend.

You don't have to worry about me.

Who is he?

If he's not your husband, who is he?

I apprenticed at Jeffrey's Pharmacy while I was in school. And everything

was fine.

Then, after graduation, he offered me a job.

But it wasn't long before Jeffrey wanted more than just a friendship.

When I refused, eventually he began telling people that he proposed.

And later that...

We eloped and got married.

When Jeffrey learned I was looking for another job, things only got worse.

So you were never engaged?

I never had feelings for him.

I'm sorry I was so secretive when I came to town.

And I should never have let things get so out of hand.

But what about this marriage license that Bill uncovered?

As soon as I discovered Jeffrey filed a forged document, that's when I left.

You headed here.

I intercepted a letter.

Faith recommended Jeffrey for this job.

I wrote Ned as Jeffrey.

And when Ned offered this position, I rode to Hope Valley fast as I could.

I don't know how Jeffrey found me.

You believe me, don't you?

Yes.

Yeah.

Unfortunately, it's... It doesn't matter whether or not I believe you.

We need proof against Jeffrey.

Now, did you all remember to tell your parents about our Thanksgiving dinner

we'll be having in town? Yep. Very good. Thank you.

The other day, I asked you all to think about the meaning of Thanksgiving.

Not to be confused with Thanksgiving, but instead... Oh,

how wonderful.

Angela.

To me, it means giving out of thanks, and not just giving thanks.

Very good.

So then another way of celebrating Thanksgiving is by thankful giving.

How then might we be able to celebrate that year round?

Thank

you

very much.

Oh, Michael, I see you bought a fire pumper, huh?

From the town's discretionary fund.

Yeah, of course. I wasn't implying anything. You've taken issue with

everything I've done as mayor. Then you put it in the paper for all to see.

Michael, just give me a minute. Maybe later, Romeo.

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?

You ruined your surprise.

Well, ta-da!

Typing tutorials included.

Oh,

it's a real beaut, hon. Thanks.

What's wrong?

I don't know. I guess... I guess I didn't realize how much mightier the pen

was than the sword when I wrote those editorials about Michael.

When it comes to the newspaper, it's not as easy to do that in black and white.

Yes. I know.

We have been trying to give the Valley Voice a striking identity.

But I think I underestimated the impact the newspaper would have.

This is a real responsibility.

It really is. I had no idea.

I wouldn't give it up, though.

Would you?

No. No, not at all. Of course not.

I might, however, have played my part just a little bit differently.

But nothing compares to being with you.

My bounty is as boundless as the sea. My love is deep.

The more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite.

Now I will kiss thy lips.

Mm-hmm.

Happily some poison yet doth hang on them to make me die

with the restorative.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, you go do that. I'm going to get started on this editorial.

Parting is such sweet sorrow.

Did you find the note you posted about books and the other school supplies you

need? Not yet, sweetheart.

Excuse me.

Hello there.

My sisters are shy.

I can be shy too.

My name is Lucas.

I'm Brinley. This is Maylee and Kaysen.

Hi. Hello.

Mary Albers.

Hi. I happen to know somebody who might be able to give you some assistance.

She's the local school teacher here in town.

My mom's a school teacher.

Really? That's wonderful.

Would you like to speak with her?

Yes, please.

We'll wait here.

You're more than welcome to wait in the Queen of Hearts.

All right. Why not?

Great. Right this way. Is there a way of

verifying that?

Yeah, I'll call back later. See if you turn anything up.

I don't want to interrupt.

Oh, you're way past interrupting.

I would like to have May arrested.

On what charges?

The same charges that brought me all the way up here. And all those charges were

false. Will you do as I ask, or should I make a few phone calls?

Failure to do your job would be considered dereliction of duty.

Okay, Mr. Lewis.

But you better not be here when I get back.

I think it's terrific.

It's not April Fool's now. No, no. I couldn't be more thrilled.

Here you go, you two.

Oh, thank you. Bill, we had no idea this would happen so fast.

But if you're open to it, I'd like to make a few changes around here. Nothing

big. Not at first, anyway.

I have seen your handiwork, my friend, so you just knock yourself out.

So, to the cafe.

The cafe!

Decided I went down the wrong pipe?

I think so.

Excuse me.

Why

are

you two giving me that look?

I came here, didn't I?

You should have gone to Union City.

Let me speak with May about either a nebulizer or epinephrine.

They're in the saloon eating lunch, but they're going to be going home soon.

Lucas, I can't just leave my class.

You won't be long.

I'll watch them.

All right. Thank you.

Uh, everyone, Mr. Bouchard will be minding you while I'm gone.

Good luck.

Oh, May, I need to speak with... Nathan, what's going on?

I'm taking May into custody.

Jeffrey found me.

He's filed charges to have me arrested.

That is ridiculous. Nathan, you can't let this happen. I don't have a choice,

Faith.

You need to speak to May.

And come by the jail.

Your daughters are lovely.

Thank you. You have children?

Mm-hmm. A little boy, Jack.

He's three.

They grow so fast. So fast.

Thank you for offering to help. Oh, it's my pleasure.

We live too far away from town to make it here with any regularity for

materials. We were hoping that's something you could help with. I had the

same problem when I came to Hope Valley to take over.

Mary has done such a wonderful job starting her own school.

So far, it feels more like a collective homeschool, but I'll take the

compliment. Thank you.

Finding books for rudimentary subjects is one thing, but finding books for

upper-level students, it's nearly impossible.

You run into the same issue. It can be quite the challenge, but there is a way.

And I think I might be able to help you by sharing some of the tricks I've

picked up along the way.

That would be wonderful.

Great. Well, then I'll get to work figuring out how to get you the

materials you need.

I have a lot to learn from you.

I can say for sure, just from the short time we've spent together, that you are

well ahead of where I was.

Bill?

Oh, I was just dressing my eyes.

That bruise wasn't there the other day when Faith examined you.

I might have cracked a rib.

How would that have happened?

I had a disagreement with someone who barged into my office.

He had to drop on me.

April Fool's, Bill.

Well, this may be more serious than we thought.

When's Faith due back anyway?

I don't know, but you are not going anywhere until she takes a look.

Jeffrey must have put it together from the message I left him after he first

arrived.

I am so sorry, May.

Don't be.

Of all people, I should have told you what was happening.

I just didn't want to get you involved.

Well, I should get back and check on Bill.

I'll visit soon.

OK.

I knew it.

You knew what?

The first time I came to see you.

I said jail seemed depressing.

Well, you're better off here.

Hey, can I ask you, how did you put up with this guy?

At one time, I think I felt sorry for Jeffrey.

He always wanted to be a doctor, like his father.

But when it became clear that wouldn't happen,

He grew better.

That's no excuse for what he's done.

No.

All I'm saying is there was a time when he was very different.

How is it that we think we know someone only to find out

we don't? For me, it begins with

understanding who I am and being honest with myself.

And others.

What have you been working on?

I'm writing a telegram to Chicago, requesting more information.

It's a long shot, but I'm hoping it pays off.

Thank you, Nathan.

Do you know the price of sugar has gone up again?

Joseph?

Minnie.

What do you have in there?

Just a little visitor I found upstairs.

Well, whatever it is, take it outside.

He must have gotten in the open window. Yeah, have a look. Joseph.

You'll like him.

I'm serious now.

He's just a fuzzy little squirrel.

Very nice.

Goodbye, Mr. Fuzzy.

You know, you were right.

You can rent out those rooms upstairs, make some income.

Maybe Mr. Fuzzy would be interested.

Joseph, take Mr. Fuzzy out of my kitchen.

Goodbye.

If the dog is the subject of the sentence, what is the predicate?

Parked. Koopa loop.

Yes. Now, with a little more difficulty, the dog barked loudly.

Loudly. That's an adverb.

Yes. Next time, wait for the ball. Sorry, I was so excited to answer.

That's good.

What happened to the predicate?

It's still there.

Do you care to remind us where, Emily?

A predicate is the part of a sentence containing a verb.

Yes. Angela, can you add to that?

Not without the ball.

Excellent point.

Here you are.

The predicate always says something about the subject.

Indeed it does.

The dog says something.

Bark. Yes, Opal, very good. Wait, I didn't throw the ball yet. I'm afraid I

got too excited.

Here, right here, Angela. I'm over here.

Hey!

Way to go!

Mrs. Thornton, welcome back.

Mr. Bouchard, you and the children seem to have worked yourselves into quite the

state.

We like Mr. Bouchard's teaching.

He's fun. And funny.

Oh.

Shall we invite him back sometime?

Yeah!

Watch this.

Doesn't anyone knock around here?

Well, I shouldn't be surprised you're encouraging Bill to leave.

I didn't have anything to do with this.

How long was I supposed to wait?

You Mounties are the most mulish patients.

How are you feeling?

I'm fine. I think she means me.

If you start coughing...

Take a spoonful of this once an hour, only as necessary.

Any other symptoms, you call me.

And come back in a day or so. I want to check on that bruised rib.

Mm-hmm.

I think you're right.

This telegram's a long shot, but hopefully we'll hear something before

Lewis calls, accusing us of wasting time installing, which, of course, we are.

Bill, I'm serious.

No, no, I know.

Cough syrup once a day only if necessary. Call if needed. Come back in

a day or so. I got it. I got it. I got it.

You know, it really could be a cracked rib.

And while it's good his bleeding stopped, I can't make a diagnosis

without an x-ray.

Let alone the way you two are behaving.

I'll keep an eye on him.

And whenever possible, we should stand up for what we know is right.

Whatever would make your parents proud.

And if you can, maybe do what's called a mitzvah, a good deed.

Thank you, Robert.

Ali, would you like to light the last candle on the menorah?

And remember, Hanukkah is about hope and miracles.

And miracles do happen, sometimes on their own, but sometimes we need to help

make them happen.

You know, you really are a natural.

Evidence of a youth misspent in too many preparatory academies.

The children were very engaged.

And you were learning with them.

Which I think is a sign of a great teacher.

Well, I had fun.

Hello!

Hey, buddy!

Hi. Hi.

Are you having fun?

I think Mr.

Yost might have another surprise for you. You want to see?

Jack, that's a dreidel.

It's spinning!

Can you spin it? Absolutely.

There you go.

You know, this really would be so much easier if you knew how to type. I said I

would teach you.

Just keep proofing. We need to get this to Norman in time for him to set his

type. If he can even read this. Hey.

It's just because you left it to the last minute. Had you started your

editorial sooner, well, we wouldn't be rushing.

What can I say? Old habits die hard.

I was always late with my homework, too.

Oh, Lee.

Come and see.

Well, now, who do we have here? We have a pirate, a ghost, and another ghost.

Ghosts seem to be very popular, don't they? So they seem to be. Well, my

bounty is as boundless as the sea. My love is deep. The more I give to thee.

I think she means help yourself, kids. Go ahead.

How art thee, me pirate?

So, Julie, it's a pirate now?

Yes. Oh, okay, great.

Thank you! You're very welcome. Bye, guys.

Be careful.

No.

Oh, those little ones are so precious.

I would have loved to have had a picture.

My last page.

Well, Arthur Brisbane.

Yeah, you've mentioned that name before. Who's Arthur Brisbane?

Where is our camera, Lee?

The camera? The camera's at home.

Arthur Brisbane. Who's Arthur Brisbane?

He's a brilliant newspaper publisher. I told you about him. He said, use a

picture. It's worth a thousand words.

I really need to finish proofing.

I'll explain later. Okay, I'll be back in a minute, sweetheart.

Hey,

Michael, I just finished that piece about you, and I want you to know that

it had nothing to do with us being friends.

Are we?

Friends, I mean.

Well, I... Aren't we?

You watched him for Jeffrey?

Yeah.

Have you seen him?

Actually, I was curious, so I knocked on his door, but no one was home.

Listen, I just, um... I just want to say how much I appreciate what you said

earlier.

How about me?

Well... Hi, you two.

Hi. I just left Jack with Allie. She's so good with him.

Now, she asked me when I might get married.

I'm sure she just wants you to be happy.

No, what she wants is a little brother or sister.

Well, you never know.

No, you never know.

But what I do know is that love is the greatest gift,

since it can't be forced.

Only freely given.

Hayden, that's lovely.

Yeah.

That's what I thought, too, when I read it.

Good night.

I just love her.

I'm not kidding.

My ex-wife followed me here to Hope Valley, too.

She showed up all blue one day, just like this Jeffrey guy. She wanted to get

back together, too.

What are you doing here? I have a little cough syrup, and I thought I should lay

down for a bit.

Bill's been very talkative.

Oh, that's because you're so easy to talk to.

Oh!

Oh! Oh!

Okay, why don't we lie back down?

Oh.

Oh. Oh.

Where's my cough syrup?

I hope I didn't drink it all. I really like it.

I'll get that.

Goody.

Hope Valley Station.

Chief Inspector Hargraves. Don't tell him I'm in jail.

No. No, but I'm happy to take a message for Inspector Avery.

Yes, I've spoken with the woman in custody.

Yeah, the charges are serious, but if I may, I...

Yes. Yes, it's a problem for the law enforcement back in Chicago.

Yes, sir, with haste.

Hargraves just received a call from the mayor.

I assume you don't mean Hickam.

No. Hmm.

William H. Thompson.

the newly re-elected mayor of Chicago.

I told you the Lewis family is very powerful and well-connected.

We've been ordered to arrange your transport to Chicago, where Bill and I

will face disciplinary action.

earlier than expected.

Oh, Elizabeth, you're early, too.

Yes, well, I know there's still a lot left to prepare for Thanksgiving dinner.

And I wanted to see Anna's reaction.

My reaction?

You've made such a difference here already, even just by offering to help

make the desserts for tonight's Thanksgiving dinner at the Saloon.

It's my pleasure.

I'm glad, because Mr. Canfield and I and Mrs. Thornton have been remarking how

we're going to miss you.

I wish I could stay. We know.

And that's why we spoke with your mother.

And she agreed.

If you'd like to stay, you may.

How?

By working here at the cafe while renting a room upstairs.

Are you serious?

I have a few more things to finish, but you can have your pick of the rooms

upstairs.

Oh my gosh, Mrs. Canfield.

Thank you. You are so welcome.

And if after working here for a while you still want to go to college... You

know that's my dream and I'll work as hard as I can to afford it.

Oh, Mrs. Thornton.

I knew you'd find a way to help me.

Romeo.

Flea.

Huh?

Sweetheart, in or out of costume, I will always be your Romeo.

What's in a name?

That which we call a rose by any other name would smell sweet.

Well, what I was actually going to say is, I really hope people turn out

tonight to finish Hope Valley Days off in a grand way.

Oh, I think they will. I think people are looking forward to Elizabeth's

Thanksgiving dinner.

Your editorial about Mike Hickam is very strong.

Well, thank you, sweetheart.

I know you didn't believe in Hickam.

At least, not at first.

You said he didn't have a plan.

He didn't. That he lacked vision for Hope Valley and its future.

He did.

But if you ask me... And I did not.

I would say he has turned out...

To be the unqualified best choice.

The right mayor for the right time. After all, who else would have thought

of putting on a celebration at a time like this? Let alone four, or I suppose

five if you count Bill Avery's April Fools.

I completely agree.

And thank you, sweetheart, for gently nudging me in that direction.

I feel like I can contribute from the paper and from the town council as well.

Well, who knows?

Maybe he'll run for office again. Oh, no, no. I think once was enough.

I feel like I belong right here in this office.

Well, I'll vote for that.

Hmm.

Well, family hope.

I have to admit, you do seem a lot better. Well, they don't make them like

me anymore.

Thanks for your concern, Faith.

Faith, would you accompany me to church service?

That sounds nice.

Bill, will we see you there?

Oh, I don't think so. Got to get some rest.

All right. Doctor's orders.

Hey, I'm sorry you didn't get to surprise us with at least one April

Fool's joke.

Yeah, you never know.

I may have fooled you all.

She asked you to build shelves and cupboards?

Oh, yes.

Elizabeth drew up detailed plans.

She thought this through.

Well, if someone can't come to the library, I guess she'll bring the

library to them. Well, she'd have me make more than a book wagon out of this

if I could.

Thanks, Joseph.

She's always determined to help people.

You know, I admire what she wants to do.

At the length she'll go trying to make it happen.

Thanks again.

Got it.

You sent for me?

Yeah.

I'm releasing Miss Sue.

But not to go with you.

See, word came back from Chicago that the marriage license for you and May is

fraudulent. You can't prove that.

Well, it may take some time. May.

But what I can prove is that your other marriage license is authentic.

They'd be happy to know I found your wife, Mr. Lewis, in Evanston.

Or you abandoned her.

Jeffrey, just go.

Please go.

Mae, please.

All I've ever wanted to be was with you. I can't help you. I'm sorry, Jeffrey.

I don't love you.

So I suppose you're staying now.

Thank you, Nathan.

As I finish, I'd like to thank...

Mayor Mike, for suggesting Hope Valley Days.

Here, here.

Worried about our town feeling the effects of trying times, he thought,

what better reason to celebrate than by coming together?

And he turned out to be right.

Now, as we roll into the actual holidays, I want to encourage us all to

try holding fast to the spirit of last week.

The spirit of giving.

Of hope.

of fun, and most important, love.

Remember, we're made in the image of God and meant to display his character.

The way we treat one another calls attention to that.

Don't look to see yourself in one another.

Instead, look to see someone God uniquely created to be themselves.

Now, if you all head on over to the Queen of Hearts for dinner.

Oh, thanks!

Oh, darling.

Thank you, man.

For the breakfast. Yes.

Am I too heavy, buddy?

No, you're just fine.

That was such a lovely service.

I thought so, too.

Oh, thank you for offering this loon for tonight's Thanksgiving dinner.

You're right, we do have a lot to give. But I think I'm about to give out

because you made me orient a little heavy. Oh, guess what is that?

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, buddy.

Wow, look at that tree.

Yes, Merry Christmas, but not yet.

Because then it would be your birthday and I'm not quite ready.

Oh, it's absolutely stunning.

All we're missing is some snow.

Lucas, did you do this?

How could I have? I've been with you.

Well,

then it must have been Mike.

Oh, I wish I could take credit.

This seems like something Rosemary and Lee might have done.

No. No, no, it wasn't us. Although this would have made for great publicity for

the newspaper.

So nobody knows who did this.

The Canfields.

Oh, yeah, it's got to be. Of course. Thank you, Canfield family. Oh, not for

this. Oh, no, it wasn't us.

Well, then who...

April Fools.

Okay, you two. Now, get ready.

Hold it.

Perfect! Oh!

You're gonna love that picture. Okay, who's next?

Oh, come on.

You can't tell me nobody wants to get their photograph taken. Well, step right

up, have your photograph taken. Give you and your families this wonderful gift to

remember this joyous festival for years to come. Who's next?

All right, all right. Come this way.

Lee. Yeah.

Hi. I read your editorial.

I really appreciate what you said. Thank you.

I meant every word I said.

Lee did mean every word he wrote.

And not just about Mike.

Lee wrote about all of us.

Warning. With so much mistrust these days, it's easy to become bitter and

cold. All before winter actually arrives.

But along with the other holidays being celebrated during Hope Valley days, it

seems that Christmas has arrived early and Santa Claus is none other than Mayor

Mike Hickam.

And what a happier world this might be with more like the mayor.

Prunes. Your Honor,

would you do the honors?

Okay, thank you. Put your vest down.

Don't fidget.

Fidgeting. People who set aside the tangible things in life for those that

are surely of greater value, those things that make us smile and laugh and

shout with excitement, that fill us with joy and wonder, giving us comfort and

peace. or just reassurance that we're not alone.

I clipped Lee's latest piece and saved it to read from time to time to help me

recall that special week we joined hands and celebrated one another together.
