GET THOSE LAST TWO GRAIN SACKS ON, AND GET THAT WAGON OUT OF THERE.

HOW LONG BEFORE YOU GET THESE CARS UNLOADED?

WE'VE GOT 3 TO 4 MORE HOURS, MR. WILKINS.

THE MEN ARE WORKING AS FAST AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN.

I GOT ANOTHER SUPPLY TRAIN DUE IN THIS EVENING

WITH 15 FLATCARS FULL OF RAIL.

I WANT IT SPOTTED RIGHT HERE, SO, WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH THIS,

HAVE BARNEY SWITCH THESE CARS OVER TO THE NORTH SPUR.

IT'S AS GOOD AS DONE.

UNTIE THOSE CRATES AND GET THEM UP ON THE LOADING DOCK.

WE'VE GOT TO HAVE THIS TRAIN OUT OF HERE REALLY QUICK.

I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN SPRINGFIELD THIS BUSY BEFORE.

WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE IS GOING ON?

I DON'T KNOW. COME ON.

Man: MOVE THEM BARRELS AND THE CRATE OVER, TOO.

EXCUSE ME. TODAY'S EXPRESS SHIPMENT COME IN?

WELL, NOT YET, THEY CUT THE EXPRESS CAR INTO THE PRESIDENT'S SPECIAL TODAY

INSTEAD OF SENDING HER DOWN BY THE REGULAR TRAIN.

IT SHOULD BE HERE ANYTIME.

THE PRESIDENT'S SPECIAL...

DOES THAT MEAN THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

MR. SPENCER HOLLINGSWORTH,

PRESIDENT OF THE MINNEAPOLIS AND WESTERN RAILROAD.

HE'S COMING DOWN TO PERSONALLY INSPECT THE PROGRESS ON THE WESTERN EXTENSION.

[TRAIN WHISTLE]

WELL, THAT SHOULD BE IT NOW.

THANK YOU.

Man: COME BACK, [INDISTINCT] WAGON OVER THERE.

[TRAIN WHISTLES]

- MR. HOLLINGSWORTH. - WILKINS.

- HOLLINGSWORTH. - HOBSON, COME WITH ME.

GOT A SHIPMENT FOR HANSON'S MILL?

COULD BE. I'LL CHECK.

OH, JIM!

THANK YOU.

Clerk: YOU FROM WALNUT GROVE?

THAT'S RIGHT, WALNUT GROVE.

YEAH, WALNUT GROVE, IS IT THERE?

Clerk: IT'S HERE.

Hollingsworth: YOU GENTLEMEN MENTIONED WALNUT GROVE?

YES.

LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF.

I'M SPENCER HOLLINGSWORTH.

Hollingsworth: I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THIS RAILROAD.

- ISAIAH EDWARDS. - ALMANZO WILDER.

YOU'RE PROBABLY VERY BUSY, BUT I WONDER IF YOU COULD SPARE ME A FEW MOMENTS.

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU.

WELL, WE GOT THIS CRATE HERE TO LOAD IN OUR WAGON.

- NOW, WILKINS? - YES, SIR?

GET SOME OF THE BOYS TO LOAD THIS CRATE INTO MR. EDWARDS' WAGON.

Wilkins: YES, SIR.

I THINK WE GOT TIME.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU JOIN ME IN MY CAR FOR A DRINK?

RIGHT THIS WAY, GENTLEMEN.

WOULD SCOTCH BE ALL RIGHT?

OH, ACTUALLY, WE'RE NOT MUCH INTO HARD LIQUOR.

I USED TO. IT KIND OF BACKFIRED ON ME.

WELL, TO TELL THE TRUTH, I PREFER A NICE, COOL GLASS OF LEMONADE MYSELF

ON A HOT DAY LIKE THIS.

YEAH, ME, TOO.

YEAH, THAT'D BE FINE.

WHY DON'T YOU MAKE YOURSELVES AT HOME?

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

THANK YOU.

BOY, IT SURE WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A LOT OF MONEY.

WELL, MONEY WON'T BUY HAPPINESS,

BUT YOU CAN LOOK FOR IT IN FANCIER PLACES.

HA HA HA!

Hollingsworth: HERE WE ARE, GENTLEMEN.

JOE, WHY DON'T YOU SET IT DOWN HERE?

- YES, SIR. - THANK YOU.

THE REASON I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU, GENTLEMEN,

IS TO ASK FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

SIT DOWN, WILL YOU?

Hollingsworth: NOW...

THE MINNEAPOLIS AND WESTERN RAILROAD'S BEEN GIVEN A CHARTER

TO BUILD STRAIGHT ACROSS TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

AFTER A BIG DEAL OF DELIBERATION,

WE HAVE SELECTED WALNUT GROVE TO BE THE FIRST DIVISION POINT

WEST OF MINNEAPOLIS.

NOW, THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY GOOD FOR YOUR TOWN.

BUT IT WILL REQUIRE A FEW SACRIFICES TO MAKE IT WORK OUT.

WE'RE SURVEYING THE ROUTE RIGHT NOW,

AND WE'LL NEED TO OBTAIN SOME EASEMENTS FOR OUR RIGHT OF WAY.

WE ALSO WANT TO BUILD A ROUNDHOUSE, AND A SERVICE FACILITY,

FOR THE LOCOMOTIVES, AND THAT WILL HAVE TO BE A BIG PARCEL

RIGHT OUTSIDE OF TOWN.

NOW, WE'RE PREPARED TO PAY A FAIR PRICE FOR EVERYTHING.

WELL, WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP?

AH.

NOW, I WANT YOU TO TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS, TO YOUR NEIGHBORS.

YOU TELL THEM WHAT I JUST TOLD YOU.

ENLIST THEIR SUPPORT ON OUR BEHALF.

I DON'T THINK THAT'LL TAKE A WHOLE LOT OF TALKING.

I'M SURE THE WHOLE TOWN WOULD LIKE TO HELP.

WELL, I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

IT'S ALL LOADED, SIR.

Edwards: OH, THANK YOU.

GENTLEMEN, I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET HARLAM WILKINS.

HE'S OUR SUPERINTENDENT OF CONSTRUCTION.

AND OVER THERE IS STUART HOBSON, HE'S OUR CHIEF SURVEYOR.

PLEASED TO MEET YOU.

- SAME HERE. - HOWDY.

ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN, I KNOW YOU'RE BUSY, I WON'T DETAIN YOU ANY LONGER.

I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

WE DO APPRECIATE IT.

WELL, WE'RE THE ONES WHO SHOULD BE THANKING YOU.

YOU'RE GIVING US SOMETHING WE'VE ALL WANTED

FOR A LONG TIME.

- IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE. - LIKEWISE.

- THANK YOU. - GOOD DAY, THEN.

BYE-BYE.

THEY SEEM REASONABLE ENOUGH.

WE SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS IN WALNUT GROVE.

WE WON'T.

JOSEPH!

ISN'T IT LOVELY?

Almanzo: IT LOOKS REAL GOOD.

AFTER ALL, THE RAILROAD DESERVES A PROPER WELCOME.

THEY'RE ABOUT TO HELP US EMERGE FROM THE DARK AGES.

Dr. Baker: I AGREE. IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT THING FOR THIS TOWN.

OH, PARTICULARLY FOR THE MERCHANTS.

I WISH I COULD BE AS SURE AS ALL OF YOU.

I'M JUST AFRAID IT'LL CHANGE THE TOWN TOO MUCH.

CHANGE IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS TOWN NEEDS, MY DEAR.

WITH A BIT OF LUCK,

THE RAILROAD MIGHT HELP US BRING SOME CULTURE TO THIS TOWN.

AH, YES, I CAN SEE IT NOW...

AN OPENING OF AN ART MUSEUM.

OH, COME ON, HARRIET, A BIG CITY MIGHT HAVE AN ART MUSEUM--

OH, WELL, NOW, MR. EDWARDS,

AFTER ALL, WALNUT GROVE IS GOING TO BE

THE LARGEST RAILROAD CENTER IN ALL OF MINNESOTA.

Harriet: SO, WE WILL HAVE AN OPENING OF AN ART MUSEUM...

AND A THEATER.

WELL, ONE THING'S FOR SURE,

THE TOWN'S SURE GOING TO GROW.

Almanzo: THAT'S RIGHT, WE MIGHT EVEN GET

TREE-LINED NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS.

Dr. Baker: AND DOZENS OF BUSINESSES.

GIVE OLESON'S MERCANTEEL A LITTLE COMPETITION.

OLESON'S MERCANTILE WILL BE THE LARGEST

AND THE FINEST OF THEM ALL, DR. BAKER.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE ALL GETTING

JUST A LITTLE BIT CARRIED AWAY?

Harriet: POSSIBLY.

HOWEVER, NO ONE CAN DENY THAT THIS RAILROAD IS GOING TO HELP

EVERYONE CONCERNED WITH WALNUT GROVE, HUH?

I HOPE SO.

IN THE MEANTIME, WE DO NEED SOME THINGS FROM THE STORE.

OH, CERTAINLY. COME ON, LAURA.

AND I GOT A PATIENT TO SEE.

Almanzo: SEE YOU, DOC.

HEY, ALMANZO, YOU GOT A COUPLE OF MINUTES?

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING.

WELL, SURE.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN THINKING.

YOU KNOW, THE RAILROAD'S GOING TO NEED A WHOLE LOT OF LUMBER,

WHAT WITH ALL THE BUILDING THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING,

AND WHY CAN'T WE BE THE ONES THAT SUPPLY IT TO THEM?

THERE'S NO REASON I CAN THINK OF.

WELL, I MEAN, IT'S GOING TO MEAN MORE WORK.

CAN YOU PUT IN THE EXTRA HOURS?

DON'T WORRY, I'LL PUT IN AS MANY AS IT TAKES.

YOU KNOW, IF THIS JOB GETS BIG ENOUGH,

WE MIGHT HAVE TO HIRE SOME EXTRA HELP.

WELL, THEN, WE'LL HIRE THEM.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL GET SOMETHING WRITTEN DOWN ON PAPER TONIGHT.

YOU KNOW, OLD HATCHET-FACE HARRIET MIGHT BE RIGHT FOR ONCE,

YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY IS GOING TO BENEFIT.

[LAUGHTER]

WHOA, HO!

LAND SAKES...

IT'S A WHOLE TENT CITY RIGHT ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN.

OH, IT'LL BE 3 TIMES THIS SIZE BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK.

- IS THAT A FACT? - YES, SIR.

THAT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE.

I MUST SAY, THOUGH, WE WEREN'T EXACTLY EXPECTING A SALOON.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, REVEREND ALDEN.

WE'RE WORKING 3 SHIFTS A DAY,

7 DAYS A WEEK, 24 HOURS A DAY,

AND THESE MEN NEED A PLACE TO BLOW OFF A LITTLE STEAM AND RELAX.

AND THAT'S THE PLACE.

AND YOU MIGHT EVEN CALL THAT A NECESSITY.

I--I SUPPOSE I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT, IT'S...

JUST IT'S A LITTLE UNUSUAL TO HAVE SUCH...

SUCH AN ESTABLISHMENT NEARBY.

Hobson: I WOULDN'T BE OVERLY CONCERNED, REVEREND.

ONCE THE LINE'S IN AND THE STRUCTURES ARE UP,

THAT'LL COME DOWN PRACTICALLY OVERNIGHT.

IT'LL BE HARD FOR YOU TO REMEMBER THAT IT WAS EVER HERE.

YES, I'M--I'M SURE OF THAT--

Wilkins: I'LL NEED ANOTHER SURVEY

ON THESE TWO SECTIONS, RIGHT THERE...

- AND RIGHT THERE. - ALL RIGHT.

WELL, I... I GUESS I'LL BE MOVING ON.

Rev. Alden: IT'S CERTAINLY EXCITING.

IT WAS NICE TO SEE YOU, REVEREND.

Wilkins: UH, I THINK WE CAN FILL IN THIS GULLY HERE EASY ENOUGH.

RIGHT THERE.

LET'S GET STARTED ON THAT RIGHT AWAY, HUH?

AFTER THE TRACK SWINGS AROUND THE HILL,

IT'LL CROSS THE ROAD RIGHT THERE.

- UH-HUH. - NOW...

I WANT TO PUT THE DEPOT IN THIS LOT RIGHT HERE.

GOOD.

WE PUT A CUT THROUGH THAT HILL,

WE'LL BUILD THE ROUNDHOUSE AND THE YARD

IN THE LARGE AREA ON THE OTHER SIDE.

EXCELLENT.

Laura: LISTENING TO HARRIET OLESON AND DOC BAKER,

IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BECOME ANOTHER CHICAGO.

DOC BAKER, OF ALL PEOPLE.

WELL, I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET THE ART MUSEUM

OR THE HOSPITAL THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT AWAY,

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO GET A PIECE OF THE PIE.

ISAIAH AND I ARE GOING AFTER A LUMBER CONTRACT WITH THE RAILROAD.

IF WE GET IT, IT'LL MEAN A LOT MORE MONEY.

WELL, AT LEAST THERE'S ONE RAY OF SUNSHINE.

IT REALLY HAS YOU WORRIED, DOESN'T IT?

I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYTHING HAPPEN TO WALNUT GROVE.

I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT MUCH.

Laura: OH, I WOULDN'T BE SO SURE.

I MEAN, THE RAILROAD NEARLY DESTROYED THE TOWN A FEW YEARS AGO

WITH THAT EMBARGO.

Laura: IT WAS 20 MILES AWAY WHEN IT DID THAT.

WHAT'S IT GOING TO DO RIGHT IN OUR MIDST?

Almanzo: AFTERNOON, GENTLEMEN.

Hobson: AFTERNOON.

NOW, HOW'D IT GO WITH THE EASEMENTS TO THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN?

THEY WERE VERY COOPERATIVE.

HAVEN'T TALKED TO JOHN CARTER YET.

DON'T EXPECT HE'LL BE ANY TOO HAPPY TO FIND OUT

THE TRACK'S GOING TO GO STRAIGHT THROUGH HIS BARNYARD.

THERE'S NO WAY TO AVOID IT, I REALLY TRIED.

WHO HAVE WE GOT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN?

WELL, THE LARGE AREA BELONGS TO HIM, ALMANZO WILDER.

WE MET HIM AND HIS FRIEND BACK IN SPRINGFIELD, REMEMBER?

OH, YEAH.

WELL, HE SEEMED GENUINELY CONCERNED IN WANTING TO HELP,

BUT...HIS HOUSE IS ON PART OF THE AREA WE NEED.

DO WE HAVE ANY ALTERNATIVES?

THERE'S NOTHING ANYWHERE NEAR TOWN THAT'S AS SUITABLE.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL TAKE CARE OF MR. WILDER, TOO.

[SCHOOL BELL RINGING]

OH, WILLIE, YOU'LL BE LATE!

Willie: COMING.

I DON'T KNOW WHY IT IS YOUR SISTER CAN ALWAYS GET TO SCHOOL ON TIME.

SORRY, MA.

LOOK AT YOU!

WHY IS IT YOU'RE ALWAYS SO SLOPPY?

I'M NOT SO SLOPPY!

WELL, YOU COULD HAVE FOOLED ME. TUCK IN YOUR SHIRTTAIL.

DON'T YOU KNOW THAT THE CHILDREN OF WALNUT GROVE'S LEADING CITIZENS

HAVE TO LOOK DISTINGUISHED?

- AW, MA... - "AW, MA!" GO ON!

WHOA, WILLIE!

Willie: SORRY, REVEREND.

Harriet: OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES!

GOOD MORNING, HARRIET.

GOOD MORNING, OH!

REVEREND ALDEN, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'M FINE.

HOW'S BUSINESS?

OH, IT'S JUST WONDERFUL.

YOU KNOW, THAT RAILROAD'S THE BEST THING

THAT EVER HAPPENED TO WALNUT GROVE. [LAUGHS]

DON'T YOU AGREE?

[DRUNKEN LAUGHTER]

I'M HOPING SO, HARRIET.

WELL, I'M SORRY, I CAN'T GIVE YOU MORE TIME.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW OUR DECISION.

DECISION? THERE IS NO DECISION, MR. CARTER.

NOW, THE WORK CREW'S GOING TO BE TEARING THESE BUILDINGS DOWN A WEEK FROM TODAY.

I SAID I'D LET YOU KNOW.

YA!

[SAW BUZZES]

WELL, THIS TAKES CARE OF THE McALLISTER ORDER.

NOW WE CAN GET OUR MINDS ON THAT RAILROAD CONTRACT.

YOU GOT THOSE FIGURES WITH YOU?

YEAH, RIGHT HERE IN MY POCKET.

WELL, I DON'T THINK WE'LL HAVE TO GO TO THEM.

THEY'RE COMING TO US.

WELL, WELL, WELL, HAPPY TO SEE YOU, MR. WILKINS.

IS THAT A FACT?

YES, SIR, IT SURE IS.

NOW, WE FIGURED ON PAYING YOU A VISIT,

BUT I RECKON YOU GOT THE SAME THING ON YOUR MIND WE GOT ON OURS.

OH, WHAT MIGHT THAT BE?

Isaiah: LUMBER.

AIN'T IT COME TO YOUR NOTICE

WE GOT THE ONLY MILL HERE IN TOWN?

I NOTICED.

Isaiah: WELL, WITH ALL THE BUILDING YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO,

YOU WON'T GET A FAIRER PRICE. - THAT'S RIGHT.

THE WAY I GOT IT FIGURED HERE, YOU GIVE US MAYBE 2,

3 WEEKS TO STOCKPILE-- HERE'S WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU.

SORRY, IT'S OUT OF THE QUESTION.

WHY? WE CAN GIVE YOU A BARGAIN.

THE LUMBER CONTRACT'S ALL TAKEN CARE OF.

ONE OF THE COMPANY'S SUBSIDIARIES.

OH.

Wilkins: MATTER OF FACT, I CAME ON A DIFFERENT MATTER

THAT CONCERNS YOU, MR. WILDER.

WHAT'S THAT?

I'LL GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT.

THE RAILROAD NEEDS YOUR FARM FOR THE WALNUT GROVE YARD.

THE WHOLE FARM?

THE WHOLE FARM.

Wilkins: NOW, I'VE PREPARED A BILL OF SALE.

YOU SIGN IT, COMPANY WILL FORWARD YOU A CHECK FOR $1,200--

I'M SURE YOU'LL AGREE, THAT'S A FAIR PRICE.

Edwards: FAIR TO WHO?

WITH THE PRICE OF LAND GOING SKY-HIGH,

YOU'D NEED TWICE THAT MUCH TO BUY HALF OF WHAT HE'S ALREADY GOT.

I DON'T THINK I CAN MAKE A BETTER OFFER.

WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO ASK YOU TO, I DON'T WANT TO SELL.

WHEN THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS GRANTED OUR CHARTER,

THEY GAVE US THE RIGHT TO BUY UP ANY LAND WE NEED.

I'M AFRAID YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE IN THE MATTER.

Wilkins: IF YOU'VE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT THAT, CONSULT A LAWYER.

OH, I WILL, MR. WILKINS, AND YOU CAN JUST COUNT ON THAT.

I CAN GIVE YOU A LITTLE MORE TIME THAN THE OTHERS TO MOVE OUT.

Wilkins: SAY, TWO, TWO AND A HALF WEEKS?

OTHERS?

WHAT OTHERS?

WEBSTER, McALLISTER...

EVANS, CARTER.

JOHN CARTER?

THAT'S RIGHT. HE ONLY HAS A WEEK.

[CLICKS TONGUE]

6 OF HIS MEN ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FULLY DEPUTIZED.

WILKINS SEEMS TO THINK HE CAN JUST COME IN HERE AND RUN US ALL OUT.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

LAURA AND ME, WE'RE GOING TO SLEEPY EYE TO SEE A LAWYER TOMORROW.

WE'D LIKE YOU BOTH TO COME ALONG.

NO. I'M SURE YOU'LL FIND OUT WHAT WE ALL NEED TO KNOW.

WHAT IF WE FIND OUT THE LAW'S ALL ON THEIR SIDE?

THEN IT'S A LAW TO BE ASHAMED OF.

PROPERTY IS PROPERTY.

WHAT WE OWN IS WHAT WE WORK AND SWEAT FOR.

WHAT WE OWN IS A PART OF US.

IF OUR GOVERNMENT DOESN'T RESPECT THAT,

THEN I DON'T KNOW WHERE OUR COUNTRY'S HEADING.

I DON'T KNOW EITHER, JOHN. I SURE DON'T KNOW.

John: ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, I'M STAYING...

BECAUSE I'VE GOT A PROMISE TO KEEP.

REMEMBER?

WHEN WE FIRST MOVED HERE.

YOU ASKED ME TO PROMISE THAT WE'D NEVER HAVE TO MOVE ANYWHERE ELSE.

I REMEMBER, JOHN.

OH...IT'S SO FRIGHTENING.

WELL, I WISH I COULD TELL YOU SOMETHING ENCOURAGING,

BUT I'M AFRAID THERE'S NOTHING MUCH YOU CAN DO.

YOU SEE, THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT OF EMINENT DOMAIN.

NOW, IN ESSENCE, THAT MEANS THEY CAN TAKE PRIVATE PROPERTY

FOR ANY USE THEY THINK WILL BENEFIT THE PUBLIC AS A WHOLE.

Atty. Webb: NOW, CONGRESS FEELS THAT OPENING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FOR SETTLERS

IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COUNTRY,

AND THE MINNEAPOLIS AND WESTERN RAILROAD

IS THE QUICKEST WAY TO ACCOMPLISH IT.

THEREFORE, THEY'RE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO GET IT BUILT QUICKLY.

YOU'RE TELLING US THE GOVERNMENT

NOT ONLY CONDONES WHAT THE RAILROAD'S DOING,

THEY'RE ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE?

Atty. Webb: THAT ABOUT SUMS IT UP.

AND THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO TO SAVE OUR FARM?

WELL, YOU COULD MAYBE GO INTO COURT AND TRY TO FIGHT IT,

BUT I THINK IT WOULD COST YOU EVERY CENT YOU'VE GOT,

AND I WOULD BE WILLING TO BET

THAT THE COURT WOULD RULE IN FAVOR OF THE RAILROAD.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, THEY AS MUCH AS OWN THE COUNTRY,

GENERALLY GET ANYTHING THEY WANT.

IT ISN'T FAIR.

Atty. Webb: NO, IT'S NOT, MRS. WILDER.

BUT THERE'S NOTHING YOU AND I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

AND I'M AFRAID MY BEST ADVICE IS TAKE WHATEVER YOU CAN GET.

MAYBE YOU CAN ARGUE THEM INTO PAYING YOU MORE, MAYBE NOT.

IN ANY CASE, IT'S THE ONLY CHOICE YOU'VE GOT.

WELL, WHAT DO I OWE YOU?

OH, NOTHING.

I'M AFRAID I HAVEN'T BEEN MUCH HELP TO YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. WEBB.

GOOD LUCK.

THEIR BACKS ARE AGAINST THE WALL, I'M AFRAID.

WELL, WHAT CHOICE HAVE THEY GOT?

THEY CERTAINLY CAN'T STAND IN THE WAY OF PROGRESS.

WELL? THEY CAN'T!

RAILROAD'S A WONDERFUL THING FOR WALNUT GROVE,

BUT IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT THAT SOME PEOPLE

SHOULD HAVE TO BE HURT SO THE REST OF US CAN BENEFIT.

OH, WELL, HELLO, MR. HOBSON, NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

Hobson: MRS. OLESON.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU TODAY?

Hobson: I HAVE A LIST OF SUPPLIES WE NEED.

COULD YOU HAVE THEM DELIVERED TO THE SURVEYOR'S TENT?

I CERTAINLY WILL.

I'D BEST BE GOING.

- SEE YOU LATER, REVEREND. - YES, INDEED.

Hobson: REVEREND?

REVEREND...

I'D JUST LIKE YOU TO KNOW HOW SORRY I AM

ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENED.

I REALLY WISH WE COULD HAVE AVOIDED THOSE FARMS.

WELL, I SUPPOSE YOU WERE JUST DOING YOUR JOB.

YEAH, MY JOB.

YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT BUILDING A RAILROAD

CLEAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY WOULD BE A GREAT ADVENTURE.

IT WAS AS LONG AS WE WERE ON GOVERNMENT LANDS.

THEN WE HIT THE FARMS AND THE HOMESTEADS, AND...

NOW IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY DECISION I MAKE

IS SHATTERING SOMEONE'S LIFE.

WHO KNOWS HOW MANY MORE ARE TO COME?

A TRAIL OF PEOPLE FROM HERE TO THE PACIFIC.

YOU'RE NOT LIKE THE OTHERS.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TIED IN WITH THEM?

I STARTED WORKING FOR SPENCER HOLLINGSWORTH

SURVEYING SMALL MINING RAILROADS IN COLORADO,

AND WHEN HE DECIDED TO BUILD THE TRANSCONTINENTAL,

HE ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO SURVEY IT.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE MY BIG CHANCE

TO DO SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT WITH MY LIFE.

IT ISN'T WHAT I EXPECTED, THOUGH.

I GUESS BIG-TIME RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION

REQUIRES SOMEONE A LITTLE MORE...

CALLOUS.

LIKE MR. WILKINS?

YEAH.

SEE, REVEREND, HE AND THE OTHERS

ARE SO WRAPPED UP IN THEIR EMPIRE BUILDING,

THEY'VE FORGOTTEN THEY'RE DEALING WITH PEOPLE.

Hobson: FOR THEM, THE FARMERS AROUND HERE ARE JUST AN OBSTACLE,

LIKE A TREE OR MOUNTAIN, SOMETHING TO BE PUSHED OUT OF THE WAY,

AND THEY DO PUSH.

THE SADDEST PART ABOUT ALL OF THIS

IS NOBODY'S GOING TO DO ANYTHING,

BECAUSE EVERYONE'S AFRAID TO STAND UP TO THE RAILROAD.

WOULD IT DO ANY GOOD?

Hobson: NO. PROBABLY GET SOMEBODY KILLED.

AND I'D HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT.

I'M SORRY, I SHOULDN'T BE BURDENING YOU WITH MY PROBLEMS.

Rev. Alden: MY FRIENDS TELL ME I'M A GOOD LISTENER.

AS PASTOR OF THE CHURCH, IT'S A VALUABLE TRAIT.

WELL, THEY ARE LUCKY TO HAVE YOU AS A FRIEND.

CONSIDER YOURSELF ONE OF THEM.

THANK YOU, REVEREND, I'D LIKE THAT.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY.

YOU WORK AND SAVE FOR A PIECE OF LAND THAT YOU CAN CALL YOUR OWN,

AND SOME STRANGER COMES ALONG,

AND SAYS, "GET OUT, HERE'S SOME MONEY.

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT."

I KNOW, I KNOW.

BETH, IF THEY OFFERED ME 10 TIMES AS MUCH MONEY, I WOULDN'T WANT TO SELL.

I MEAN, THIS LAND...

IT'S PART OF US NOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

OF COURSE I DO.

BETH, I'M NOT GOING TO SELL,

I'M NOT GOING TO LET THEM TAKE THE LAND AWAY.

IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA...

IF YOU AND THE BABY SPENT SOME TIME IN TOWN FOR A WHILE.

WHY?

WELL, SWEETHEART, I DON'T KNOW HOW ROUGH THE RAILROAD'S GOING TO GET.

I'M NOT LEAVING.

BETH--

Laura: THIS IS OUR LAND,

AND WE FIGHT FOR IT TOGETHER.

I'M A LOT TOUGHER THAN YOU THINK, MR. WILDER.

I KNOW YOU ARE, MRS. WILDER.

THEN WE STAY TOGETHER?

WE STAY TOGETHER.

NOW, MRS. OLESON, I CAN'T HANDLE IT.

YOU'VE JUST GOT TO COME OVER HERE AND HELP ME.

Man: HEY, BACK THERE, HOW ABOUT TAKING MY ORDER?

Man 2: HOW ABOUT BRINGING MINE?

WELL, ALL RIGHT, BUT YOU HURRY UP,

AFTER ALL, THESE MEN CAN'T GET ENOUGH HOME COOKING.

[DOOR BELL CHIMES]

WHO ARE YOU SAVING THIS FOR?

BIG ARNIE.

WELL, HE AIN'T HERE. I'M GOING TO TAKE IT.

I WOULDN'T ADVISE THAT.

YOU AIMING TO STOP ME?

NOPE, JUST WOULDN'T ADVISE IT.

Willie: WHY'D I HAVE TO COME?

Harriet: YOU HEARD WHAT HESTER-SUE TOLD ME. SHE'S SHORT-HANDED.

THIS IS OUR BUSINESS, SO WE BOTH HAVE TO PITCH IN.

THIS ISN'T FAIR.

OH, FAIR'S FAIR'S FAIR.

Willie: THE STAGECOACH'S COMING.

Harriet: AH, BRINGING MORE BUSINESS, I HOPE.

MORNING, MRS. OLESON.

OH, MORNING, HANK.

- THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL! - SHH!

DON'T YOU WISH NANCY COULD GROW UP LOOKING LIKE THEM?

SHH, FOR SHAME! GO ON, GO ON!

THE SALOON'S DOWN AT THE OTHER END OF THE TOWN, THERE, LADIES.

THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO SAVE ME A SPOT.

I DID.

Man: THIS HERE FELLOW HAD OTHER IDEAS.

THIS A GOOD PLACE TO STAY?

Harriet: OH, YES, INDEED.

IT'S WALNUT GROVE'S FINEST.

MRS. OLESON HERE OWNS IT.

SHE'LL TAKE REAL GOOD CARE OF YOU.

Harriet: YES, WOULD YOU LIKE--

AND STAY OUT.

IS THERE, UM...ANY OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS HERE IN TOWN?

WELL, THERE'S A ROOMING HOUSE RIGHT ABOVE DOC BAKER'S.

- NOT VERY-- - I THINK THAT'LL BE JUST FINE.

Harriet: OH, DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!

OH, MY RESTAURANT! WHAT ON EARTH...

Hank: GIDDYUP.

LOOK AT THIS!

OH, LOOK AT MY WINDOW! WHO DID THIS?

NELS!

AFTERNOON, GENTLEMEN.

NOTHING GOOD ABOUT IT WHERE HE'S CONCERNED.

STILL WAITING ON THAT SIGNED BILL OF SALE, MR. WILDER.

YOU CAN JUST GO ON WAITING.

YOU WON'T GET JOHN CARTER'S, AND YOU WON'T GET MINE.

IS THAT SO?

AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO SOME OF THE OTHER MEN

YOU'RE THINKING OF DOING OUT OF THEIR PROPERTY.

AND THEY'RE THINKING OF JOINING US.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, MR. WILDER...

NO LEANING ON MY FRIEND, FRIEND.

YOU SAID YOUR PIECE.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST BE ON YOUR WAY?

WELL, YOU HAVE SOME TIME TO RECONSIDER.

I KNOW YOU'LL DO THE RIGHT THING.

THAT LOOKS NICE.

THANKS.

YOU ALMOST DONE? GOT A POT OF COFFEE ON.

ANY GINGERBREAD LEFT?

MM-HMM.

THEN I'M DONE.

[LAUGHS]

LOOK.

John: GET MY GUN.

YOU CHILDREN STAY INSIDE!

THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY, WILKINS.

YOU'RE TRESPASSING.

AH, YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE TRYING MY PATIENCE, CARTER.

NOW, I WANT THAT BILL OF SALE, AND I WANT IT RIGHT NOW.

GET IT.

GET IT.

WELL, WELL, COULD IT BE THAT SOMEBODY'S FINALLY DECIDED TO BE REASONABLE?

YOU GOT IT.

YOU'RE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE, MISTER.

COME ON.

JOHN.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GO INSIDE.

- MR. HOLLINGSWORTH, WELCOME. - WILKINS.

NICE TO SEE YOU.

MR. HOLLINGSWORTH!

AH, HOBSON, HOW ARE YOU DOING?

FINE, HOW ARE THINGS AT SPRINGFIELD?

ALL PROGRESSING RIGHT ON SCHEDULE.

Hollingsworth: SUPPLIES HAVE ALL ARRIVED, HIRING MORE MEN.

WE SHOULD START CONSTRUCTION WITHIN A WEEK.

YOU KNOW, I REALLY WISH WE COULD ROUTE THROUGH TRACY.

Hobson: THERE'S A MUCH BETTER GRADE ALONG THE COTTONWOOD RIVER,

AND BESIDES THE FOLKS ARE ALL FOR IT.

WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU, HOBSON?

NOTHING, I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE FARMERS.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THEM, TOO, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT ARE HOLDING OUT.

THEY'VE BEEN GIVING US SOME PROBLEMS, BUT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

WHEN WE START LAYING TRACK, WE CAN'T AFFORD TO STOP FOR ANYTHING.

NOW, I TRUST YOU'LL DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO CLEAR THEM OUT.

WHATEVER'S NECESSARY.

Wilkins: YOU CAN COUNT ON IT.

OH, WILKINS, COME OVER HERE FOR A MINUTE, WILL YOU?

[DOOR SLAMMING]

WHAT IS IT?

SOUNDS LIKE THE BARN DOOR.

I MUST NOT HAVE LATCHED IT TIGHT.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

[WIND BLOWING]

[HORSE WHINNIES]

John: EASY, BOY, EASY, BOY, EASY, BOY.

EASY, BOY, EASY.

[DOOR SLAMMING]

JOHN?

JOHN?

[HORSE WHINNIES]

JOHN, ARE YOU IN HERE?

JOHN!

JOHN.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

MR. HOBSON, COME IN.

I JUST HEARD. HOW IS HE?

WELL, THEY BEAT HIM UP PRETTY BADLY.

BUT DR. BAKER THINKS HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

HE WAS LUCKY NO BONES WERE BROKEN.

AHH, THAT'S A BLESSING.

I WAS AFRAID SOMETHING LIKE THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

SOME OF WILKINS' DEPUTIZED HOOLIGANS JUST RODE OUT

TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY.

Hobson: THEY PLAN TO OCCUPY IT TILL THE CONSTRUCTION CREW CAN LAY TRACK ACROSS.

CAN THEY DO THAT?

THEY SEEM TO BE ABLE TO DO ALMOST ANYTHING THEY PLEASE.

Hobson: SEE, THEY FEEL THEY HAVE TO.

THE CARTER PROPERTY IS THE KEY TO THIS ENTIRE THING.

WITHOUT IT, THE RAILROAD CAN'T REACH TOWN.

- IS THAT A FACT? - SURE.

THEY'D HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO RUN THE MAIN LINE THROUGH TRACY.

HOW DIFFICULT WOULD THAT BE?

WELL, I'D HAVE TO DO A SURVEY,

BUT I CAN'T SEE THAT IT WOULD BE THAT DIFFICULT.

Hobson: BESIDES, THE PEOPLE AT TRACY REALLY WANT THE RAILROAD.

WELL, WELL, WELL.

DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND, ALMANZO?

YEAH, A WAY TO PERSUADE THOSE PEOPLE

TO GO THROUGH TRACY AND LEAVE WALNUT GROVE ALONE.

Almanzo: HOW MUCH WOULD A NICE, LONG DELAY COST THEM?

HOW DO YOU MEAN?

I MEAN IF THEY CAN'T GET ON THE CARTER PROPERTY

FOR A WEEK OR MORE.

OH, ONE DAY WOULD COST THEM A FORTUNE.

THEY'VE GOT AN ENTIRE ARMY OF WORKERS COMING IN HERE TOMORROW.

HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE YOU TO DO THE SURVEY ON TRACY?

Almanzo: ALL THE FACTS AND FIGURES.

A COUPLE DAYS, AT LEAST.

Almanzo: WELL, THAT'S IT, THEN.

WE TAKE BACK THAT PROPERTY AND HOLD IT AT LEAST THAT LONG.

DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN DO IT?

IT'S GOING TO BE MY PLEASURE TO TRY.

ALL RIGHT, FITZGERALD AND I ARE GOING TO DO A ROUTE FEASIBILITY STUDY

FROM SLEEPY EYE TO THIS POINT ON THE COTTONWOOD RIVER.

NOW, I WANT YOU AND WHITNEY TO DO A STUDY FROM HERE ALL THE WAY INTO TRACY.

I NEED TO KNOW WHERE THE TRESTLES' CUTS AND FILLS ARE REQUIRED,

I NEED TO KNOW THE ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COST PER MILE,

AND, LESTER, I NEED IT IN A HURRY. CAN YOU DO IT?

YOU KNOW I CAN.

ALL RIGHT.

WHOA!

HOWDY!

Man: SOMETHING YOU WANT?

NO, I GOT SOMETHING YOU WANT--FRIED CHICKEN.

MR. WILKINS THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE SOME VICTUALS.

DARN RIGHT WE WOULD.

GOOD.

WELL, THANK WILKINS FOR US.

YOU BET.

DIG IN.

Edwards: ALL RIGHT, MISTER,

YOU DON'T WANT THAT CHICKEN TO BE YOUR LAST MEAL,

YOU LEAVE THAT RIFLE SET WHERE IT'S AT.

YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS, WILKINS.

I TOLD YOU I COULDN'T AFFORD ANY DELAY.

THERE WON'T BE ANY.

YOU GIVE ME THE WORD, I'LL TAKE MY MEN IN THERE.

I DON'T WANT ANY KILLINGS.

CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT, TOO.

MAYBE I CAN.

I WANT YOU TO SPREAD THE WORD IN WALNUT GROVE...

THAT I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE WIVES OF THE MEN THAT ARE HOLDING THE CARTER PLACE.

Hollingsworth: IT'S 3:00 NOW.

4:00 THIS AFTERNOON AT THE CHURCH.

WHAT FOR?

JUST DO IT!

Hollingsworth: I FIGURE THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID TROUBLE

IS TO BRING MY CASE TO YOU LADIES.

I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER,

THE RAILROAD'S GOING TO BE BUILT ON SCHEDULE.

BUT I FEEL IF YOU CAN GO OUT THERE AND TALK TO YOUR HUSBANDS,

YOU COULD MAKE THEM SEE THE LIGHT.

Hollingsworth: ANY QUESTIONS?

HOW LONG DO WE HAVE?

YOU HAVE UNTIL 8:00 TOMORROW MORNING.

Hollingsworth: I'M GOING TO COUNT ON YOU, LITTLE LADIES.

MR. WILKINS...

Wilkins: LADIES.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

THERE'S ONLY ONE THING WE CAN DO.

15 MORE MINUTES.

YOU SHOULD'VE JUST LET ME TAKE THE BOYS IN THERE YESTERDAY.

WE COULD HAVE BEEN WORKING BY NOW.

AH, YOU WERE SAYING, WILKINS?

HUH.

Almanzo: WHAT ARE YOU WOMEN DOING HERE?

Laura: YOU'LL SEE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'RE DOING?

Laura: MR. HOLLINGSWORTH!

IT'S NOT JUST OUR HUSBANDS WHO OWN THIS LAND!

WE OWN IT, TOO!

WE'VE SWEATED OVER IT EVERY BIT AS HARD AS THEY HAVE,

AND WE'RE NOT GIVING IT UP TO YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE!

Laura: SO, IF YOU WANT IT...

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT!

WELL?

JUST SHUT UP A MINUTE.

MR. HOLLINGSWORTH, YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO FIGHT WOMEN.

- THE PUBLICITY... - DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT?

THERE'S ANOTHER WAY.

HOW?

Hobson: LESTER AND I DID A PRELIMINARY STUDY ROUTING THROUGH TRACY.

THERE'S NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN COST BETWEEN THE TWO.

WE HAVE MONEY INVESTED IN WALNUT GROVE, I'M NOT GOING TO LOSE IT.

A LONG DELAY WOULD COST A LOT MORE.

HUH.

ALL RIGHT.

START CHANGING THE BASE OF OPERATION TO TRACY, WILKINS.

ALL RIGHT.

[WHISTLES]

IF THEY WENT TO GET MORE MEN, IT WON'T DO THEM ANY GOOD.

THEY'RE ROUTING THROUGH TRACY, YOU WON!

[WHOOPING AND HOLLERING]

[DOOR BELL CHIMES]

I'D LIKE TO SETTLE OUR ACCOUNT.

YES, OF COURSE.

YOUR FILE IS AT THE MERCANTILE. GET OUT OF MY WAY!

HE'S MINE.

WILKINS!

WHAT DO YOU WANT, CARTER?

JUST DIDN'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE

WITHOUT ME GETTING A CHANCE TO SAY GOOD-BYE.

John: YOUR TURN, WILKINS.

COME ON.

I WOULDN'T BOTHER DIRTYING MY HANDS, FARMER.

John: THAT'S RIGHT, I'M A FARMER.

ALL OF US HERE ARE JUST SMALL POTATOES TO PEOPLE LIKE YOU,

BUT WE BEAT YOU, DIDN'T WE?

John: WE BEAT YOU AND THE RAILROAD AND ALL YOUR EMPIRE BUILDERS.

FOLKS LIKE US ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BEAT YOU,

BECAUSE WE LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND THIS LAND.

AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET ANYBODY DESTROY IT.

GOOD-BYE, MR. WILKINS.

Laura: THE RAILROAD CHANGED THEIR ROUTE, AND TRACY BECAME A BOOMTOWN,

FILLED WITH GAMBLERS, DRIFTERS, AND THE LIKE.

WALNUT GROVE REMAINED THE SAME--A QUIET COUNTRY TOWN

WITH PEOPLE WHO CARED ABOUT EACH OTHER AND LOVED THE LAND.
