00:00Previously on When Calls the Heart.
00:03What if I could reopen the cafe? It would be a great new start for me.
00:07I want your row house. That's my home.
00:09My daddy comes home tomorrow.
00:10Only minor pulled out alive after disasters.
00:12Coming home from the hospital tomorrow.
00:14A new business is thriving. This town is growing fast.
00:21All right, children, bring your signs.
00:23The stagecoach will be here any minute.
00:26What?
00:27Ma'am.
00:28Nothing.
00:29Looks like you've been busy.
00:30We have.
00:31The children are beyond excited to welcome home Mr. Miller.
00:34Five months in the hospital is a long time.
00:36I'm sure it will be a bittersweet day for everyone.
00:39Yes.
00:40Hopefully more sweet than bitter.
00:43Hi!
00:44You must be very excited.
00:46He's the top minor in town. Did you know that?
00:48He once dug two mounds through the mountain in just one day.
00:51Yes. I believe you've mentioned it a time or two.
00:54You look silly.
00:56What do you mean, sweetie?
01:02I have paint on my nose, don't I?
01:06How long were you going to let me go on like that?
01:09I don't know. All day?
01:15I'm so nervous to see him.
01:17You wouldn't let me visit him in the hospital.
01:19Like you couldn't afford it.
01:21Yeah, well, he's a proud man. All the men in this town are.
01:25Look, here he comes!
01:27All right, children, hold up your signs.
01:55What's wrong with Daddy's leg?
01:57Hush now, Morgan Rose.
02:05Princess?
02:10Oh, I didn't know how to tell you.
02:14I love you.
02:16I love you too.
02:18I love you too.
02:20I love you too.
02:22I love you.
02:24I'm glad you're back.
02:31Welcome home, Adam.
02:34Thank you, Mrs. Montgomery.
02:39I'd like to...
02:40No, no, no. I can...
02:42I can still do for myself.
02:45Welcome home, Adam.
02:49Welcome back, Mr. Miller.
02:51Welcome back, Adam.
02:53Laurel didn't know, did she?
02:55I don't think so.
03:15That must have been quite a surprise for Mrs. Miller and those poor girls.
03:19Well, they're a strong family of faith. They'll get through this.
03:22It's almost barbaric that in this day and age a hospital would issue a peg leg when they have prosthetics available.
03:28Well, people with modest means.
03:31I am sure that that's all Adam could afford.
03:33Well, if nothing else, the F.D. play will lift everyone's spirits.
03:37What is the F.D. play?
03:40Foundry State Play.
03:42Don't tell me you haven't begun the rehearsals. It's next Saturday.
03:46Mrs. Ramsey, I have no idea what you're referring to.
03:48My goodness, no one's told her.
03:50Is that possible?
03:51Every year, the children put on a play.
03:54It's in celebration of the history of Coal Valley.
03:57That's lovely.
03:59But given the fact that I was unaware, perhaps we might postpone it a week or two.
04:03And celebrate on some date besides the actual anniversary.
04:06It's almost a sacrilege. The mayor won't hear of it.
04:08The mayor's your husband.
04:09Mrs. Appleton always did such an amazing job.
04:12Everyone looks forward to hearing the mayor's eloquent speech as he guides us towards a new year filled with...
04:18Filled with?
04:19Dear...
04:20Oh, never mind, Silas.
04:21I will get you a copy of the play so you can begin rehearsals immediately.
04:25Okay.
04:29Sir.
04:30Kat.
04:31How am I going to pull all this together in a week?
04:34Abigail and I are moving out of the row houses and I promised her I'd help her get the café ready for business.
04:38And I still have lessons to prepare.
04:40Okay, don't worry.
04:42The mothers are going to pitch in.
04:44I am going to get Reverend Anderson to drop by the costumes in the backdrop.
04:47I should probably go home and find the sheet music.
04:50There's music, too.
04:54Don't panic.
04:55You can do this.
04:56You crossed a prairie, for heaven's sake.
04:58How difficult could it be to produce a play?
05:00You're talking to yourself.
05:02Not a good sign.
05:03You were eavesdropping.
05:04Not eavesdropping when one's talking to oneself out loud in public.
05:07I have to put on a Founder's Day play in a week.
05:10A play that has been performed every year.
05:12A play that apparently has costumes and music.
05:14Okay, Elizabeth.
05:15Come here.
05:17Sit down.
05:19Sit.
05:21Now, take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
05:32Here.
05:33Now don't you feel better?
05:37I do.
05:43An entire production?
06:05Oh!
06:07Were you talking to yourself again?
06:09I'm beginning to worry about your mental health.
06:12It's this play.
06:13I hardly slept a wink last night.
06:15I've never directed a play before.
06:17Well, didn't they go through that in that big city university you attended?
06:20I didn't go to drama school, Jack.
06:21I went to teacher college.
06:24No great dramatist exists without a touch of madness.
06:29Aristotle.
06:30Well, aren't you just full of surprises?
06:32Yes.
06:34Have I thanked you yet for helping us move?
06:36About a hundred times.
06:44The road was rough and the rains made it difficult to cross.
06:48Oh no!
06:51Elizabeth, are you okay?
06:52How could I have been so careless?
06:54It was an accident.
06:55No, no, this was my fault.
06:57I wasn't looking where I was going.
06:58It's okay.
06:59Abigail, please let me.
07:01No, I've got it.
07:03Of course I will reimburse you for the vase.
07:05Oh, don't be silly.
07:06This has been held together by glue for years.
07:09I mean, Peter broke it three or four times.
07:12I always told him not to play ball in the house.
07:15Oh, Abigail, I'm so sorry.
07:17No, it's not the vase.
07:19We built a life here together, the three of us.
07:23I can only imagine how difficult this is for you.
07:32I think I would like to take this vase with me, too.
07:36Of course.
07:37I'll go get the glue.
07:39Elizabeth, I'm really happy I'm not in this alone.
07:46Me too, Abigail.
07:48We're both embarking on a new adventure.
07:56Come and sit by my side if you love me.
08:02Do not hasten to bid me adieu.
08:08But remember the Red River Valley
08:14And the cowboy who loved you so true.
08:20And the cowboy who loved you so true.
08:27Play it again, Pa.
08:28No.
08:29Your daddy's tired, and tomorrow's a school day.
08:32Why don't you go get ready for bed?
08:34I'll be up shortly to tuck you in.
08:37Good night, Pa.
08:38Good night.
08:39I love you.
08:40I love you, too.
08:44They made me sing that to them a hundred times while you were gone.
08:48They are daddy's girls.
08:51I miss them.
08:54I missed you, too.
08:55I know I'm never going to be the man I was.
08:57You're the best man I've ever known, and nothing will ever change that.
09:01That is just wishful thinking.
09:03I know better.
09:05I'm not going to fit in.
09:07There's no place for a man in my position.
09:10What do I have to offer?
09:11Love and guidance for those girls.
09:15And for me, there will never be another man.
09:18I'm not what I was.
09:21I loved you then, and I love you now.
09:24Nothing will ever change that.
09:39This is going to be a long night.
09:41I know.
09:42I know.
09:43I know.
09:44I know.
09:45I know.
09:46I know.
09:47I know.
09:49This is going to take some getting used to.
09:51I don't feel like home in no time.
09:55I'm sure you're right.
09:57It's like you said when we first started packing.
09:59Love travels with you wherever you go.
10:04Wherever you go.
10:10Children, may I have your attention, please?
10:12Today, we are going to cancel our math lesson.
10:18In fact, we are going to cancel all of our lessons.
10:21We're going to start rehearsing for our Founder's Day play,
10:24which we will perform this Saturday.
10:26Now, how many of you know the song?
10:28Saturday?
10:29In a week?
10:30Last year, Mrs. Appleton had us practicing for a month.
10:33Well, I'm not Mrs. Appleton.
10:35And you all have performed this play before,
10:37so I'm not worried at all.
10:40Not worried at all?
10:41Patrick was a narrator, and he graduated school months ago.
10:44Yes, well, we'll just have to get started and try our best.
10:48Now, I'm going to need everyone to help me.
10:51Maybe some of the older students could help me with the...
10:54Jolene, Morgan Rose.
10:57I thought you two were going to stay at home today
10:59and spend the day with your father.
11:01We changed our minds.
11:03Pa said he needs to take care of some business.
11:05My daddy only has one leg now.
11:10Well, what matters is that he's home now, right?
11:14Yes, ma'am.
11:18I found the sheet music.
11:20It's in my attic.
11:21God, that's wonderful.
11:22One item off my list.
11:24There is no way we can learn this play in one week.
11:27Now, children...
11:29Uh, if I may, Elizabeth?
11:32Ms. Thatcher is going to need all of your help
11:34and your concentration for this.
11:37It's a very important play to all of us,
11:39especially after the year that we've had.
11:48The good news is that I found the costumes.
11:54Oh.
11:59Oh, did you store these at the church?
12:01That would be the bad news.
12:02My goodness, they're all singed. This is horrible.
12:04Well, it is a play about a coal mine.
12:06We could make this into one of the miners' costumes.
12:08It's already blackened.
12:10And what about the backdrop?
12:11Or is it best not to ask about that?
12:16Church fire, too?
12:18More of the bad news.
12:19Aren't we supposed to have a play without a backdrop?
12:22Noah Stanton painted the last one.
12:24I... I don't know anyone else who has that skill left in Coal Valley.
12:31Boys and girls,
12:33if there's one thing I've learned about the people of Coal Valley,
12:36it's that they don't quit,
12:38even when everything is against them.
12:40So we are not going to quit.
12:43Now, I don't know exactly how,
12:46but this Saturday, we are going to do Founder's Day proud.
12:51Oh!
13:01I know you're a busy man, Mr. Gallen, so I'll get right to the point.
13:05Of course. What can I do for you, Mr. Miller?
13:08I appreciate the company's generosity with my family while I was recovering.
13:13Well, it's the least that we could do.
13:16Please sit.
13:26I was...
13:30unaware of the extent of your injuries.
13:34You're a fighter, and the company does appreciate your sacrifice.
13:39Yes, sir.
13:41The thing is, I need work.
13:45I don't understand.
13:47I'm not asking to go back in the mine, sir. I know I can't do that,
13:50but I was hoping that there might be something else that I could help with.
13:54I mean, maybe I could work behind a desk
13:57or help the superintendent out in some way.
14:01I don't know if we...
14:03Look, I'll do anything.
14:08Sir, anything.
14:12I need to provide for my family.
14:17I will speak with Mr. Ransville,
14:21and I'll see what I can do.
14:24Great.
14:27Thank you, sir.
14:29Pleasure.
14:43Have you sewn yourself to the back of the chair yet?
14:45No.
14:47Oh.
14:48But apparently I will be wearing this for the rest of the day.
14:51Look what I have. Compliments of the mayor and Dottie Ramsey.
14:54Enough fabric to make new costumes.
14:56Oh, my goodness. That's so generous.
14:59Yes. However, there is a small price.
15:03The star of the play will now be their son.
15:06Oh.
15:08Well, I suppose we can afford that.
15:10And Dottie will also be the master of ceremonies.
15:14She will.
15:16Oh, yes.
15:18It's a Coal Valley tradition.
15:22Oh.
15:31Hi, Elizabeth.
15:32Jack.
15:33I brought you some saloon cornbread.
15:36Oh.
15:37Although it doesn't hold a candle to Abigail's.
15:39It's all we have until she officially opens.
15:41Ow!
15:42Did a needle attack you?
15:44It wouldn't be the first time today.
15:46So your cooking is only rivaled by your sewing.
15:51I suppose you could do better.
15:54May I?
16:01I think a whipstitch will do here.
16:08Where did you learn that?
16:10Oh, I've sewn before.
16:12Where?
16:14Uh...
16:17Close to the bone.
16:20Oh.
16:23Oh, my goodness. What happened?
16:25Oh, it was nothing.
16:27Although the bear is still talking about it.
16:37Welcome back, Adam.
16:38Thank you, Liam.
16:40Mr. Gowans got me so busy pushing the manhart,
16:43I've really fallen behind on the load reconciliation.
16:45I'm really grateful to have you help me out here.
16:47Oh, well, thank you, Mr. Ansel.
16:49Still, Herbert.
16:51Adam.
16:53You need to enter the weights here at the end of the day.
16:56You can keep track of them weekly,
16:58and that's how we know how much to pay them.
17:00Mm-hmm.
17:02I always remember you being at the top of this list.
17:08You okay?
17:10Yeah, fine.
17:12No problem.
17:14Well, I'll get on this right away.
17:16It's good to have you back.
17:18Oh, it's good to be back, Mr. Ansel.
17:20Herbert.
17:21Adam.
17:22Herbert.
17:23Herbert.
17:32I picked these flowers for Pa.
17:34I thought they might cheer him up.
17:35That's very thoughtful of you, sweetheart.
17:37I'll put them in a vase.
17:39Now, why don't you go tell your Pa that supper's almost ready?
17:46Okay.
18:17Ah!
18:19Princess.
18:21What's wrong? What happened?
18:23I don't know. I was dreaming.
18:26I guess I...
18:28Are you okay?
18:30It's okay.
18:32He didn't mean to.
18:34I'm okay.
18:36All right.
18:47Oh.
18:58Oh, my Lord.
19:01This wasn't here yesterday.
19:04Where on earth...
19:13Thank you for helping with this.
19:15Oh, it is mostly selfish on my part.
19:18The sooner you open, the sooner I get to eat here.
19:20Oh, and the sooner I can start cooking for hordes of hungry miners.
19:27You seem like a natural with a paintbrush.
19:30Well, I like painting...
19:32walls.
19:34Perhaps you might consider painting a...
19:37mural on one.
19:40Mural?
19:41Yes, a nice view of Coal Valley.
19:44Perhaps some beautiful mountains.
19:47Now, where would you get an idea like that?
19:52Noah painted the old Founder's Day mural.
19:55You know, it takes a special kind of person to see things from an artist's perspective.
20:00I-I wouldn't know.
20:02Wouldn't you?
20:04No. I'm just a simple wall painter, ma'am.
20:08Don't worry.
20:10I won't tell Elizabeth.
20:29You're home.
20:31How was the mine today?
20:34Same.
20:36Well, I have a surprise for you.
20:41Open it, Daddy.
20:43See what it is.
20:49I sent away for it.
20:51Came on the stage today.
20:55Isn't it wonderful?
20:57You'll be able to do many things like you used to
21:00and not be limited by that peg the hospital gave you.
21:08Don't you like it, Pa?
21:11Why do you ask?
21:13I don't know.
21:15I don't like it.
21:17I don't like it.
21:19I don't like it.
21:21Huh?
21:23Where'd you get the money for this?
21:29I used some of our savings for part of it
21:34and Abigail Stanton helped me take up a collection for the rest.
21:38You passed the hat on my behalf.
21:40Everyone was happy to pitch in.
21:43This town loves you, Adam.
21:48Adam, you're scaring the girls.
21:50Ain't it enough that I'm a cripple?
21:53You got to turn me into a charity case, too?
21:56I just wanted to help.
21:58How?
21:59By giving me this useless scrap of wood?
22:02Yes.
22:04We have to accept the hand the Lord has dealt us
22:07and do our best with it.
22:09Things could have been far worse.
22:11Worse?
22:12I can't even hold down a job, let alone do anything else.
22:16What do you mean you can't hold down a job?
22:19I can't work at that mine any longer, Adam.
22:22I can't handle this.
22:24I quit.
22:30When?
22:32This morning.
22:35And what have you been doing all day?
22:40Walking around, if that's what you can call it.
22:44And when were you planning on telling me?
22:47Or were you just going to lie,
22:49like you did about your condition all those months?
22:51I never lied to you.
22:53You lied every day.
22:54You laid in that hospital bed and you didn't tell me.
22:56I'm half a man, Laurel.
22:59That's something you'll never understand.
23:01Maybe not, but you don't know what it was like for me, either.
23:03And if you were just going to give up, why did you come home at all?
23:17Adam.
23:21I'm sorry.
23:48Okay, Cassandra, we're going to try this again.
23:51Let's take it from the top.
23:54For some of us, the rain stopped.
23:57And then the crops dried up.
24:00Okay, now we change the placard and now it's Jolene.
24:08For those of us who are struggling to meet our ends.
24:13To make ends meet.
24:15For those who are making ends meet.
24:18For those of us who were struggling to make ends meet.
24:24Jolene!
24:26Oh, just, just keep rehearsing your lines.
24:31I'll be right back.
24:46We're all tired, Jolene.
24:49And everyone forgets a line once in a while.
24:51I know the lines.
24:53I'm just not sure I believe them anymore.
24:57Look what happened to all the fathers who came here to work in the mine.
25:02Look what happened to my pa.
25:04I know how hard this must be for you.
25:07I know.
25:09I know.
25:11Look what happened to my pa.
25:13I know how hard this must be for you.
25:16Having him back after he was gone for such a long time.
25:20My daddy never came back, Miss Thatcher.
25:23Not the pa I knew.
25:25Jolene, just because he may not look the same, it doesn't...
25:28I'm not talking about his leg.
25:33He's changed. He's not the same person.
25:36And I don't know why.
25:40I know it's hard to believe.
25:43But even our mamas and our daddies have struggles sometimes.
25:47I just want everything to be like it was before.
25:58All you can do is love him.
26:00You can't be responsible for how he acts.
26:03All right?
26:06Look, it's okay.
26:10It's all right.
26:13You're all right.
26:22Jack!
26:25Where'd that come from?
26:28Your guess is as good as mine.
26:35Girl, what's wrong?
26:37Constable, it's Adam. I need your help.
26:40We had an argument last night, and he wasn't in the house when we woke up this morning.
26:44I don't know why. I just thought he needed some time to think.
26:48But he hasn't come home all day, and I found a note.
26:52I must have missed it.
26:54The same man you married. You and the girls are better off without him.
26:57We had words. Terrible words.
27:00And I didn't mean what I said. I swear it.
27:03I'm afraid he's gonna do something awful.
27:09Don't worry. I will find him.
27:16Jack!
27:24You must be careful.
27:27Glad to see you'd be so concerned for your constable.
27:30I'm concerned for my constable.
27:33And I'm also concerned for the man who wears the constable's uniform.
28:00Mr. Miller.
28:31You're gonna have to shoot me if you want to take me back.
28:34Come on, Mr. Miller. You know I didn't come here to shoot anybody.
28:37No. Just to stick your nose in my family business.
28:40They are worried sick about you.
28:42It is my choice if I want to leave town or not, constable. Is there a law against that?
28:45No argument from me.
28:47Your wife might see it differently.
28:49You tell me, you think a man is free to desert his family?
28:53They don't want me.
28:55But maybe they do.
28:58They don't want me.
29:00The man they were waiting for never came back from that hospital.
29:03Mr. Miller, there is more to a man than flesh and bone.
29:06You still have purpose.
29:08And the Almighty can bless the work of your hands.
29:10Why don't you play with me?
29:13I know who I am.
29:17I got nothing to offer.
29:19So what's the plan?
29:21You're just giving up?
29:23You're gonna waste away out here until you die?
29:25Just leave me alone.
29:36What do you think you're doing?
29:38I'll head back at first light.
29:40Yeah, you suit yourself, constable.
29:42Or you'll be traveling back tomorrow by yourself.
29:45It's your choice, Mr. Miller.
29:47Damn right it is.
29:56Everything okay?
29:58I can't see.
30:13I'm scared.
30:15Daddy's gone. He's never coming back.
30:17No, that's not true.
30:19He just...
30:21He needs some time to heal.
30:24He needs some time to get used to things being different.
30:31When he was gone before, in the hospital...
30:37I knew he was coming home.
30:42Now I'm not sure.
30:47Well, we are just gonna have to pray for the strength
30:51to hold on until he does.
31:06I'm cooking up some fish if you're hungry.
31:11Come and get warm. No point freezing when I got a fire going.
31:21Sigh.
31:52You know, when I was growing up, I thought my father hung alone.
32:00I know you girls feel the same way about you.
32:03They used to.
32:06And everything's changed.
32:08I don't have a family of my own.
32:11And I cannot imagine what you've been through.
32:14But I have an idea of what you girls are feeling.
32:18See, my father, he was a Mountie.
32:24And when I was a boy,
32:28all I wanted to do was be like my pa.
32:31I used to walk around the house all day,
32:34wearing his hat, pretending I was him.
32:38But Mounties aren't around very much.
32:40They're gone for months at a time.
32:42And that's hard, too. It's hard on my mom.
32:45Having a father who's away providing for his family
32:48is different than a father who's a burden.
32:52And then he got hurt.
32:57So he came home.
33:00Doctor said he had trauma to the skull.
33:05Yeah.
33:07But I never left his side.
33:10He promised me that he'd take care of me.
33:15If he gets stronger, he'd teach me to be a man like him.
33:26And one day he was gone.
33:32Oh, Will.
33:35Lose the life and the people we love.
33:39I was bitter like you.
33:42I blame God.
33:45I even blame my father for leaving me.
33:48But time went by,
33:50and I made my peace with it.
33:54You think I want to be out here?
33:59You think I want to be away from my family?
34:08This is what I have to do.
34:11Really?
34:13The thing is, my father didn't have a choice.
34:17You do.
34:22I know you're scared.
34:25But you're the same man who woke up every morning
34:29and went into that mine.
34:33You put your life on the line every day for your family.
34:36In my book, that's as brave as it comes.
34:40Now you got to find a way out of that mine,
34:44back into life.
34:48I got to believe that you were spared for a reason.
34:53I got to believe that you were given a second chance
34:56because there's more for you to do.
34:58Like watching those girls grow up.
35:03I'm going to head back to town at dawn.
35:06I hope you join me.
35:10That Founders' Day plays tomorrow night.
35:15That's your choice.
35:33Welcome, everyone, to our Founders' Day celebration.
35:40The mayor and I, along with our son Bradley,
35:44are so pleased you all have come to the show.
35:50And now, for the moment you've all been waiting for,
35:54I'd like to introduce our current mayor
35:57and my husband, Silas Ramsey,
35:59who will inaugurate this evening's performance.
36:07Reminding us of our past brings us hope for the future.
36:16And now, Miss Thatcher and the players of the Cove Valley School
36:20bring you Founders' Day.
36:33Before Cove Valley, for some of us, the rain stopped.
36:39Jolene, are you ready?
36:42I think so.
36:44For others, factories like the Candle Company closed their doors.
36:48And we needed to find a new place to live.
36:52Okay, Jolene. Come on.
36:55Let's go.
37:01From this valley they say you are going
37:07We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
37:12For they say you are taking the sunshine
37:18That has brightened our path...
37:26Daddy!
37:39As you go to your home by the ocean
37:45May you never forget those sweet eyes
37:50May you never forget those sweet eyes
37:54That we spent together
38:21Noah, I wish you were here to see this.
38:36Kate, I've never noticed that before. What is that?
38:40I think the bigger question is, who is that?
38:45Ampari or Magnifying Glass, Miss Thatcher?
38:47Ampari or Magnifying Glass, Miss Thatcher?
38:49Certainly.
39:03James, come get a load of this.
39:14There.
39:18That's so funny, you three.
39:20Come see for yourself, Miss Thatcher.
39:31Where?
39:33There.
39:39Goodness.
39:41Did any of you three know about this?
39:44Why wouldn't we know anything about this, Miss Thatcher?
39:46We weren't the ones who painted the backdrop.
39:48It does look a lot like you and Mountie Jack, though.
39:51No, it doesn't, James. It doesn't at all.
39:54And I'll ask that you three forget all about this incident.
39:58Lips are sealed, Miss Thatcher.
40:15Jack, are you aware that someone painted a tiny likeness of the two of us on the Founders Day backdrop?
40:19A likeness?
40:21Yes, and it's hidden there like a little stick of dynamite ready to go off,
40:24and some of my students just let the fuse.
40:26What are we doing in the painting?
40:28I... I can't really say. We're...
40:32We're kissing.
40:34We're kissing?
40:36Well, that is completely inappropriate.
40:39Pure fiction.
40:41Yes, fiction.
40:43Who would paint such a thing?
40:45You know, I think I should launch an investigation,
40:48interrogate some of your students until we get to the bottom of this.
40:51All right, but on second thought,
40:54both of our reputations are on the line here.
40:57Hmm. That is a good point.
41:00But I promise, I will get to the bottom of this.
41:03Don't you worry.
41:05I'm glad you're on the case.
41:07I'm going to go.
41:09Have a good day.
41:27Not a little secret, boy.
41:37You
