00:01:13Dear Ma and Pa,
00:01:15the Bible says,
00:01:16for everything there is a season.
00:01:18And after two years of marriage,
00:01:20the time has finally come for Willie and me
00:01:22to put down roots on a ranch of our own.
00:01:30We left the wagon train today
00:01:32and are heading out alone
00:01:33through desolate and beautiful country.
00:01:38It's not green like the farm,
00:01:40or golden.
00:01:43As you can tell by my handwriting,
00:01:45the way is pretty bumpy.
00:01:48Willie's worried we got a late start leaving Denver.
00:01:51August is not a good month to start up a ranch.
00:01:54I did get a full year of teaching in
00:01:56and we can use the money.
00:01:58We also may be starting up something else.
00:02:01Namely, your first grandchild.
00:02:04I haven't told Willie yet.
00:02:06He's got so much on his mind already.
00:02:08There will be plenty of time to tell him
00:02:10after we've settled.
00:02:11For everything there is a season.
00:02:14Willie, can you pull up for a minute?
00:02:45Feel better?
00:02:47Yes.
00:02:49I'm bound to get sick hitching around in that wagon.
00:02:52You know, there's still a couple of hours left of daylight.
00:02:55We can keep going if you want.
00:02:57No, that's okay.
00:02:59We'll get an early start in the morning.
00:03:02Come on.
00:03:03I'll help you get supper started.
00:03:09Willie.
00:03:11Willie.
00:03:13Willie.
00:03:19Looks like they're alone, Trent.
00:03:21Just out for a little romantic ride in the country.
00:03:24Shouldn't we do a roundabout
00:03:26and make sure they ain't part of a wagon train or something?
00:03:44I'm tired.
00:03:46All I'd like would be a hot bath,
00:03:49a bottle of whiskey, and a woman.
00:03:51One out of three ain't bad.
00:03:53What do you say?
00:03:55Enough talk.
00:03:57Let's make me rich today.
00:04:01Sawbuster ties his gun down.
00:04:03So do we.
00:04:05Yeah, but your average rancher don't tie his gun down, Mason.
00:04:07That's the point.
00:04:13What do you say, Trent?
00:04:15Some other time, maybe.
00:04:17What do you say?
00:04:19Some other time, maybe.
00:04:21What do you say?
00:04:23Some other time, maybe.
00:04:25What do you say?
00:04:27Some other time, maybe.
00:04:30Some other time, maybe.
00:04:40Willie, bring some forks when you come.
00:04:59Come on.
00:05:23Welcome, folks.
00:05:25Thank you, sir.
00:05:27The greatest general store in this parts.
00:05:29Oh, Missy LaHaye.
00:05:31And this is my husband, Willie.
00:05:33Pleasure.
00:05:34You folks just passing through?
00:05:36Figuring on staying.
00:05:37Oh, well, that's good news.
00:05:38The tent's for a junction.
00:05:41Well, if you could just show us the land office,
00:05:43Mr. Taylorson.
00:05:45Yes, sir.
00:05:46About two doors down.
00:05:48Goodbye.
00:05:50This is the track you'll be homesteading,
00:05:53just north of the McLean place.
00:05:55See?
00:05:56There's the main creek threading through the middle
00:05:58with plenty of branches for the cattle to water.
00:06:00It's a good place to start a family.
00:06:02Here's the deed.
00:06:04I wish you folks the very best of luck.
00:06:07Many come, not many last.
00:06:09We'll last.
00:06:11With hard work and a lot of prayer.
00:06:16Two gallons.
00:06:25Yep.
00:06:26Right.
00:06:27Turn it off.
00:06:28We'll see.
00:06:33What are you doing?
00:06:47Thanks to marrying you,
00:06:50it's the happiest day of my life.
00:06:52Our life.
00:06:54Missy LaHaye, as God is my witness,
00:06:58I swear to work harder than any man
00:07:00to build you a home on this land.
00:07:02We'll raise a family
00:07:04and watch generations after generations of LaHayes
00:07:07thrive and prosper.
00:07:09Well, Willie,
00:07:11I have something to say about that.
00:07:13Hey, get back here!
00:07:15Get back here!
00:07:18I didn't see nothing, Mr. Otis!
00:07:21Chicken feed start early in these parts.
00:07:24That's the first child I've seen.
00:07:26Yep.
00:07:28Glad you brought all those books just for that one.
00:07:31I'm sure there are more.
00:07:35First the ranch.
00:07:37Then teaching.
00:07:39Then everything else.
00:07:41Everything else?
00:07:43You know what I mean.
00:07:45What were you going to tell me
00:07:47before that chicken butted in?
00:07:49Just that, uh...
00:07:52that I'm happy too, Willie.
00:08:05Hello, young man.
00:08:07Howdy.
00:08:09I'm Missy LaHaye. What's your name?
00:08:11Jeff Huff, ma'am.
00:08:13How old are you, Jeff Huff?
00:08:15Twelve years old, ma'am.
00:08:17Did you catch that chicken?
00:08:19No. Got distracted by your smooching.
00:08:21Sorry, ma'am.
00:08:23Well, I'm sorry we caused you to lose your chicken.
00:08:26It weren't mine, anyway.
00:08:28Just fooling around.
00:08:47Willie!
00:09:00Willie!
00:09:02Sonny, Sonny!
00:09:04Where you been? I've been waiting so long for you to come back!
00:09:07Where you been? Sonny!
00:09:09Where you been, Sonny?
00:09:11Where you been, Sonny?
00:09:14Ow!
00:09:16I mean it.
00:09:18Just having a little fun with your little brother, Sonny.
00:09:20Take it easy, baby.
00:09:22Why don't you and I go in and have a drink?
00:09:27Sonny?
00:09:31You go play.
00:09:43Don't go embarrassing me like that.
00:09:45Sorry, Sonny.
00:09:47I got you something.
00:10:00Easy there, Jeff.
00:10:02If that widow feeds you, I'll pay her good money.
00:10:05I don't like her there, Sonny.
00:10:07I want to go with you.
00:10:09Yeah, well, you can't.
00:10:11I told you that a hundred times.
00:10:28Whoa!
00:10:35I'll build you a house a lot better than that one.
00:10:37Oh, no.
00:10:39Really, this house is just fine.
00:10:42Let's go take a look.
00:11:10Humble as it may be, sweetheart,
00:11:12this is the first home of our own that we've ever had.
00:11:40No stove.
00:11:42I can use a fireplace.
00:11:44My cooking can't get any worse than it is right now.
00:11:54Lord, bless this house and all who enter.
00:11:58Amen.
00:12:01Lord, bless this house and all who enter.
00:12:05Amen.
00:12:31Dearest family,
00:12:33I miss you and the small creature comforts.
00:12:42Sometimes I can almost hear your voices in the soft prairie wind.
00:13:01I worry about Willie.
00:13:03He works with a ferocity that sometimes scares me.
00:13:07He's so concerned we won't be ready for winter.
00:13:11I've still not found the right time to tell him about the baby.
00:13:30Willie and I went riding over our land.
00:13:33What a beautiful country the Lord has made.
00:13:41Just the other day, we saw Indians on our ridgeline.
00:13:46Willie is very concerned for my safety,
00:13:49though there hasn't been any Indian attacks in years in these parts.
00:14:00I'm sorry.
00:14:18Willie and I are sending you a treasure map to our hard-earned savings,
00:14:22which we just buried in the wilds of our new ranch.
00:14:31Let's go.
00:14:42I certainly hope you never need to use it.
00:14:45Willie doesn't trust banks out here.
00:14:48But then, this is a strange and wild place.
00:14:56I've been punching cattle over three years, Mr. Lahaye.
00:14:59Experience to some, but more than others.
00:15:01Where are you from, Henry?
00:15:02What does that matter? I'm here now.
00:15:09All right.
00:15:12I suppose it's none of my business anyway. No offense.
00:15:15None taken, if you give me a job.
00:15:29Water.
00:15:59Water.
00:16:21How?
00:16:25Uh, I'm Missy Lahaye.
00:16:28My husband and I, uh, homestead this place.
00:16:32Uh, we raise, uh, cattle.
00:16:37This... how?
00:16:40What is it supposed to mean?
00:16:42You speak English?
00:16:44That's what they tell me.
00:16:47I'm Miriam Redhawk McLean.
00:16:49Mary Deshawn McLean.
00:16:51We homestead the next track to the south of here.
00:16:55We're neighbors.
00:16:57Yes, ma'am.
00:16:58Oh.
00:17:00Please. Please come in.
00:17:04Well, I don't understand, Mr...
00:17:06Just Scotty's fine.
00:17:09Been cowboying since I was a kid.
00:17:12I've done everything there is to do.
00:17:14Well, how come you haven't been hired by one of the big outfits?
00:17:20I can't use this no more, so...
00:17:23most people think I'm washed up.
00:17:27But I learned to get by with my left.
00:17:31You take me on, Mr. Lahaye.
00:17:33I won't let you down.
00:17:39Get yourself a job.
00:17:49I'm just getting started.
00:17:51Trying to make this place into a home.
00:17:55Please, sit.
00:18:01I think I have one last jar of strawberry preserves...
00:18:08that I've been saving for just such an occasion.
00:18:16Please, here.
00:18:19Now, this here is a county fair blue ribbon winner.
00:18:31Mmm. Mmm.
00:18:34This is very good. You must teach me how to make this.
00:18:37Oh, my mother made it.
00:18:39I'm not a very good cook.
00:18:42When I was growing up, I mostly helped out my pa...
00:18:45riding horses, plowing the field,
00:18:47tending to the chickens.
00:18:49Then you will do very well here.
00:18:51Many women who come here are soft.
00:18:53They don't know how to do these things.
00:18:55You do.
00:18:57Still, I feel that my husband would prefer a good meal.
00:19:02I brought you some things.
00:19:04It is too late to start a garden this year,
00:19:07so corn, potatoes, beets...
00:19:09Oh, thank you, Miriam.
00:19:11We are neighbors.
00:19:13We are neighbors.
00:19:15The last family was here.
00:19:17Well, they could have asked us for more help, but...
00:19:21I think they feared my Shoshone ways.
00:19:24Oh, well, my husband and I will be grateful
00:19:26for whatever help we can get.
00:19:29What is in there?
00:19:31The secret to flaky biscuits.
00:19:35Pig lard.
00:19:37Oh! Oh! Excuse me.
00:19:39I'm sorry. Excuse me. I'm sorry.
00:19:44COUGHING
00:19:57How shall we go?
00:19:59What do you think about these?
00:20:01I'll bring them.
00:20:07Would you be Mr. Lahaye?
00:20:09I would.
00:20:11Of course. I would like a job, sir, if please.
00:20:14What kind of farm are you on?
00:20:16I come from Norway on boat
00:20:18to find adventure in the big wide open spaces.
00:20:22Well, you have any experience around cattle?
00:20:24No, sir.
00:20:26But I am big, strong.
00:20:28Born horse.
00:20:30Well, Finn Anders from Norway.
00:20:32This will be strictly trial basis.
00:20:35Hope you learn fast.
00:20:37Don't worry, Mr. Lahaye.
00:20:39I'll learn good and fast.
00:20:41You betcha.
00:20:50Good girl.
00:20:52The boys will love the jam.
00:20:54And still with their pot.
00:20:56Sure I can't give you any biscuits?
00:20:58No.
00:21:01Thank you, though.
00:21:03Well, maybe next time I'll make them with the pig lard.
00:21:07I don't fretch.
00:21:13When you're ready to bring this little one into the world,
00:21:16I will be there.
00:21:19I've delivered many babies.
00:21:21Oh, Miriam, thank you.
00:21:37I'll bring some books for the boys.
00:21:39Good.
00:21:41I don't want them growing up illiterate like their pa.
00:21:45Very nice to meet you, neighbor.
00:21:47You too.
00:22:00Here comes trouble.
00:22:07I heard you were hiring some cowpokes.
00:22:12Jobs are filled.
00:22:15Oh, just a bunch you hired.
00:22:18You're really scratching the bottom of the barrel.
00:22:21Too bad you just couldn't have waited a bit.
00:22:23Hired some real men.
00:22:25So where would I find these real men?
00:22:27Me.
00:22:29Me and my boys.
00:22:31Not only can we rope and ride,
00:22:36but most important, we can shoot.
00:22:40Hey, mister.
00:22:42I bet you can't shoot worth nothing.
00:22:44Why don't I start with you?
00:22:47Trent, come on.
00:22:49Let's get out of here.
00:23:02We got some cows to drive.
00:23:04So watch them and do likewise.
00:23:07You betcha, boss.
00:23:09Mr. Lahaye.
00:23:11How would you feel about hiring on another broke-down old cowboy?
00:23:15Well, I suppose I wouldn't feel so good about that, mister...
00:23:18My name is Cookie.
00:23:20You're Cook.
00:23:22You're real quick.
00:23:24Afraid I can't afford another hand right now.
00:23:26Strictly on a trial basis.
00:23:28Come on, now!
00:23:59Fuck!
00:24:05It's a beautiful herd, really.
00:24:18This way.
00:24:20Come on.
00:24:23Here, here.
00:24:26This way.
00:24:41How do, Mr. Lahaye?
00:24:53My dearest Missy,
00:24:55the prospect of being grandparents
00:24:57fills us with such joy and pride.
00:25:00I can only imagine how happy you must be.
00:25:03And by now, I'm sure you've shared the happy news
00:25:06with that hard-working son-in-law of mine.
00:25:09I can still remember the exact moment
00:25:12when your mother told me about you.
00:25:14I was standing in the kitchen, eating breakfast,
00:25:17and most of all,
00:25:19I remember how radiant your mother looked when she told me.
00:25:25And as for you, my strong daughter,
00:25:27I hope you are feeling well
00:25:29and that it is an easy pregnancy for you.
00:25:33I love you, doll.
00:25:43Aah!
00:25:49Aah!
00:25:55Aah!
00:25:59Aah!
00:26:10My wife and my initials.
00:26:13It's a fine idea, including her.
00:26:16All of this would be nothing without her.
00:26:19Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother,
00:26:22cleave to his wife.
00:26:24They shall be as one.
00:26:26Genesis. You know your Bible.
00:26:28Yes. Yes, good rematerial.
00:26:30Anyway, I'm happy for you.
00:26:32A good marriage, that's...
00:26:36something to be treasured.
00:26:38Speaking from experience?
00:26:41Scotty!
00:26:43Ready for another one?
00:26:45Not yet. Hold on.
00:26:51Where you off to?
00:26:53Taking some books to our neighbors in the plains.
00:26:56Be back in a couple of hours.
00:27:11She sure is a better rider than I am.
00:27:15Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:27:27Buffalo.
00:27:29It ain't done by white men, neither.
00:27:31White men only take the pelt.
00:27:34Indians use just about everything.
00:27:36The hide, the meat, the horns,
00:27:38some of the bones.
00:27:40Missy and I saw some Indians riding south last week.
00:27:44All this beef is better than this buffalo meat any day.
00:27:47There ain't been engine trouble in these parts for quite a while.
00:27:50Let's tell the boys.
00:28:08Come on.
00:28:25Lord, give this horse wings to fly.
00:28:38Whoo-hoo!
00:28:57Ben.
00:28:59Go spell Scotty. There's some sick cows that need to be brought in.
00:29:02Yes, boss.
00:29:04Uh, Mrs. LaHaye in the house?
00:29:06She up and took some books over to your neighbors in McLean.
00:29:17Boy, she sure can ride.
00:29:21Shh.
00:29:35Hurry up!
00:29:50Come on.
00:30:00You are safe here, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:30:06I'm so sorry.
00:30:11Putting a scare into this poor woman.
00:30:13We were just having a little fun.
00:30:15You missing a sharp claw.
00:30:20Is this the trouble you want for us?
00:30:24My apologies, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:30:28Missy, this is my brother, Sharp Claw.
00:30:33I give you my word, Mrs. LaHaye, my young hunters meant no harm
00:30:37except to laugh at your expense.
00:30:39Their proper behavior when they saw you
00:30:41should have been to make sure that you arrived at your destination safely.
00:30:47Especially a woman in your condition.
00:30:50Oh.
00:30:58And this is my husband, Sean.
00:31:03It's a pleasure to meet you, madam.
00:31:04Nice meeting you.
00:31:07And Robert and Bruce.
00:31:09Hello, boys.
00:31:11Please.
00:31:20Let's go.
00:31:47Can we take our books?
00:31:49Yes, they're yours.
00:31:56Children, these are the same books
00:31:59used in almost every school in America.
00:32:03Who is this McGuffey?
00:32:05An Ohio schoolmaster who felt a burden from God
00:32:08to teach all American children how to read.
00:32:11American children?
00:32:13Yes, sir.
00:32:14And that includes those whom our late President Lincoln
00:32:17called Native American.
00:32:20Thank you, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:32:22Now, you all have your books,
00:32:24all you men and children out.
00:32:27We have women's business to talk about.
00:32:47Good driver.
00:32:53Yes.
00:32:55Good.
00:32:59Nice driver.
00:33:01Yes.
00:33:07By your mercies.
00:33:09Good job.
00:33:11Let's go.
00:33:21Surf club!
00:33:25Over there.
00:33:27Come in, boys.
00:33:29Come in.
00:33:36Willie.
00:33:38This is Miriam.
00:33:40This is her husband, Sean,
00:33:42and her brother, Sharpclaw.
00:33:46We're on our way to the mountains.
00:33:48We intend only to take some buffalo.
00:33:51I have given strict orders that no cattle are to be harmed,
00:33:54and those orders will be obeyed.
00:33:59Are you ready to go home, Missy?
00:34:04Mr. McClain?
00:34:06Mrs. McClain?
00:34:10Sharpclaw?
00:34:15Goodbye. Thank you.
00:34:17Goodbye.
00:34:40Hold her down, old boy.
00:34:42She'll be good in a couple of weeks.
00:34:44Come on.
00:34:51First time I ever seen him go like that.
00:35:08Just what did you think you were doing, Missy?
00:35:10I was taking some McGuffey readers over to the McClains.
00:35:13They teach her children how to read.
00:35:15How come you never told me about Miriam's visit?
00:35:18I'm worried about you riding alone.
00:35:20It's too dangerous. You won't be doing this again, Missy.
00:35:23Oh, yes, I will!
00:35:25Oh, no, you won't!
00:35:27Oh, yes, I will!
00:35:36Missy.
00:35:39Sweetheart.
00:35:42Do you miss teaching this much?
00:35:47No, that's not why I'm crying.
00:35:50Then why?
00:35:52Because I truly believe that the Lord sent Miriam McClain to us.
00:35:59Then why would he do a thing like that?
00:36:03To bring our baby into the world.
00:36:08Healthy.
00:36:10And hearty.
00:36:13Our baby?
00:36:20Missy.
00:36:22No, please, Willie, don't worry.
00:36:24Miriam will be my midwife.
00:36:26She's delivered all the babies in her village for many years.
00:36:29Our baby.
00:36:31Oh, Willie, aren't you happy?
00:36:35The happiest man alive.
00:36:46Good rub?
00:36:47Cookie.
00:36:49Very good.
00:36:50Perfect for a brisk night like this.
00:36:52Here's a blanket to keep off the cold.
00:36:55Don't give her that old horse blanket.
00:36:57You take mine. This is for you.
00:37:01No, well, thank you both, but I'm fine.
00:37:05You told them?
00:37:08I'd like to raise a coffee cup to, uh,
00:37:12as soon as it's as strong as we got,
00:37:14to Mr. and Mrs. LaHaye and their happy news.
00:37:18So say we all.
00:37:20So say we all.
00:37:30Willie.
00:37:34What is it? I'm awake.
00:37:37They were just so kind and concerned tonight.
00:37:43The hens?
00:37:46Yeah.
00:37:51What about their families?
00:37:55I really don't know much about them.
00:37:59But they're good workers.
00:38:01That's the most important thing.
00:38:05Shouldn't we know if they have families or not?
00:38:09Let me see.
00:38:12Lots of times cowboys come out here
00:38:15to get away from things.
00:38:18You gotta respect that.
00:38:23Still, it seems like such a lonely life.
00:38:28You're gonna be a wonderful mother.
00:38:58What's wrong?
00:39:00Well, just like you figured.
00:39:02They're all by their lonesome.
00:39:04Must make me rich today.
00:39:29Willie says you know the good book.
00:39:32Sunday mornings my husband and I
00:39:34read the Bible and pray together.
00:39:36You're invited to join us.
00:39:38Well, uh, thank you, Mrs. LaHaye,
00:39:40but, uh, I don't think so.
00:39:42Aren't you a church-going man, Henry?
00:39:44Actually, I used to be a preacher.
00:39:46A preacher?
00:39:48Yeah, well,
00:39:50the Lord giveth,
00:39:53and the Lord taketh away.
00:39:56What did he take away from you?
00:40:00Something very special.
00:40:03My wife.
00:40:16Ben!
00:40:18Come here.
00:40:20I need you to reshoe this horse.
00:40:22Yes, boss.
00:40:24Yes, boss.
00:40:45Good morning, Mrs. McClain.
00:40:49Mr. LaHaye.
00:40:54You and Missy going into town today?
00:40:56Yes, we are.
00:40:59Mrs. McClain, I know when we first met.
00:41:01I was...
00:41:03Out here, neighbors need one another, Mr. LaHaye.
00:41:06I couldn't agree more.
00:41:08Please.
00:41:46You make it look so easy, Sonny.
00:41:50I'll practice lots of hours to make it look like that.
00:41:54Okay, come here.
00:41:56Remember how I showed you, you coil it in your left hand.
00:41:58Like that. Make sure there ain't no kinks in the line.
00:42:01This is the noose.
00:42:03Okay?
00:42:06Let's see what you got.
00:42:12Now loosen your wrist.
00:42:14When you're ready, cast it off.
00:42:19Missed again.
00:42:21It's all right. Keep practicing. Get another rope.
00:42:32Good day.
00:42:36I'm Missy LaHaye.
00:42:38He seems like a nice boy.
00:42:40My brother.
00:42:42I'm glad to hear that he has family.
00:42:44I've been a little worried about him.
00:42:46He's fine.
00:42:48And your mother and father?
00:42:52They're gone.
00:42:54No offense, ma'am, but...
00:42:56it ain't your business worrying about someone who's not your kin.
00:42:59It's just Christian charity, Mr. Huff.
00:43:06I hope we're not interrupting you, ma'am.
00:43:09What do you want, Trent?
00:43:11I think you'd better get saddled up.
00:43:14We got some riding to do.
00:43:18Let's go.
00:43:25Sonny! I did it!
00:43:27I roped the post!
00:43:29Gotta go now.
00:43:31Behave yourself. Keep practicing.
00:43:33You'll be back, though.
00:43:35You know it.
00:43:37Got my rope.
00:43:49Sonny gone a lot?
00:43:51It's his job.
00:43:53He's making money so we can have a ranch of our own someday.
00:43:57He sounds like a very good brother.
00:44:19Brought yourself a strong breed.
00:44:22We'll know more after roundup.
00:44:25Let's go out of there.
00:44:34Now, children...
00:44:36and Mr. McClain...
00:44:38I want you to write these letters on your slates...
00:44:42and then sound them out.
00:44:44And when you know them...
00:44:46you'll have mastered the entire alphabet.
00:44:50Help each other out now.
00:44:58The weather's turning cold.
00:45:00And Sharpclaw and his camp will be leaving tomorrow...
00:45:03and you probably shouldn't get a chill riding over.
00:45:06So this is my last class for a while?
00:45:09The children have learned much from you, Mrs. Lahaye.
00:45:17Keep at it, Mr. McClain.
00:45:20I'm having a turbulent time finding a word that starts with an X.
00:45:25That is a difficult letter.
00:45:27Sean's always used an X to sign his name.
00:45:30Well, not for much longer.
00:45:50Snow will be coming soon?
00:45:53Now, remember...
00:45:55really sound out the words with them.
00:45:58Now, when you come back...
00:46:00they'll be ready for the advanced readers.
00:46:03I'll keep them on.
00:46:05Good.
00:46:08Good.
00:46:10God go with you and your family, Sharpclaw.
00:46:15And Miriam...
00:46:17I'll be seeing you.
00:46:19Yes, you will.
00:46:21Safe travels.
00:46:25Goodbye.
00:46:28Come on!
00:46:31Willie and the ranch hands have worked hard...
00:46:34to ensure the livestock survive the long winter.
00:46:37That's bamboo over there.
00:46:39It's gonna be all your pieces.
00:46:41Cookie and I have prepared the soil for a large garden next spring.
00:46:45I so enjoyed his companionship.
00:46:47And his cooking.
00:46:49I just might make a sweet tater patch.
00:46:52We can have large taters in here.
00:47:01It's all coming together.
00:47:03It's beginning to feel like...
00:47:05home.
00:47:16Now, as we wait for snow...
00:47:18the ranch hands have time to go into town...
00:47:21for some well-deserved relaxation.
00:47:24Don't tell us what you've got.
00:47:28Don't tell us what you've got.
00:47:38As for Willie...
00:47:40he still works harder than anyone.
00:47:48Maybe more now, knowing the baby's coming.
00:47:52As we prepare for winter...
00:47:54I'm reminded of Isaiah...
00:47:56preparing the way for our Savior's birth.
00:47:59And I think warmly of all of you...
00:48:01as Christmas approaches.
00:48:15Are you warm enough?
00:48:17I'm fine.
00:48:19Why are you always so warm?
00:48:21Even your feet.
00:48:23Someone's gotta warm the icy toes of yours.
00:48:28I guess that's why we're a perfect match.
00:48:31The sky looks like snow.
00:48:33We're lucky it held off this long.
00:48:37You know, I was thinking today...
00:48:39this is gonna be our first Christmas in this house, Willie.
00:48:44I bet you miss your family.
00:48:47I bet you miss your family.
00:48:50All those family traditions you talk about.
00:48:53Yeah, sure, I miss them.
00:48:56But we'll start new traditions here.
00:48:59Well, with the weather settling in...
00:49:01this might be our last chance to get into town for a while.
00:49:04Better tell Santa what you want for Christmas.
00:49:07No, nothing store-bought.
00:49:09That would be just a waste of money.
00:49:12Well, what, then?
00:49:15All I want for Christmas...
00:49:17is to be surrounded by the people we care about.
00:49:33This year's mine.
00:49:35No.
00:49:40You got the watch.
00:49:44I got...
00:49:46the watch because mine broke.
00:49:49It's a practical thing.
00:49:51I have to know the time in order to steal.
00:49:57Give me more money.
00:50:00No.
00:50:03You got two brooches and a watch, and I don't got none of that.
00:50:06You got two salt and pepper shaker and, uh...
00:50:09You ever wish you had a place to call your own?
00:50:14No.
00:50:22A little coffee?
00:50:37Min?
00:50:40Mrs. Lehay would like to say something.
00:50:43Well, as you all know...
00:50:45Christmas will be here before we know it.
00:50:48Santa Claus will never find us all the way out here, I bet.
00:50:51But he will if my wife has anything to say about it.
00:50:54Willie and I would like to cordially invite you all...
00:50:57to Christmas dinner.
00:51:01Unless you have other places to be.
00:51:08Well, then that settles it.
00:51:10Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.
00:51:12Trimmings?
00:51:14Now, where do you rustle up some of those?
00:51:17Well, I was hoping you might help me, Cookie.
00:51:28I got that.
00:51:30Mrs. Lehay! Mrs. Lehay!
00:51:32Jeff, what is it?
00:51:34Mrs. Lehay, I got us something from Sonny.
00:51:37What's it say?
00:51:39Not sure.
00:51:42Come here.
00:51:56Dear little brother, it's real hot here.
00:51:59I'll bring you some beans that jump all by themselves.
00:52:03Stay good, and I'll see you after Christmas.
00:52:07Sonny.
00:52:13Best be going, Missy.
00:52:17Well, thank you, Mrs. Lehay.
00:52:33Boy's got one speed.
00:52:35Running.
00:52:38By the time this arrives, I expect it will be nigh on to Christmas.
00:52:43I think on how long the world lay in darkness...
00:52:46before the light of the world was born in that humble little stable.
00:52:51We have been blessed to receive his light.
00:52:55Not only to live and hope ourselves, but to take hope to others.
00:52:59I am sending you something...
00:53:01which I know you'll remember from many Christmases past.
00:53:05May it start a new tradition in the Lehay household...
00:53:08and remind you we are there in spirit...
00:53:11sharing your first Christmas on the ranch.
00:53:14And know we will miss you.
00:53:16But our hearts are forever knit together in love.
00:53:36Round. Take it round, Henry.
00:53:39Round.
00:53:41Here. Sit.
00:53:43Come on, sit. Hurry up.
00:53:49I just don't understand why Willie had to go into town on Christmas Eve.
00:53:53I'm sure he'll be along shortly, ma'am.
00:53:57Well...
00:54:00Willie Lehay, where have you been? It's Christmas Eve.
00:54:04I know.
00:54:06There's gonna be one more for Christmas, Missy.
00:54:09Merry Christmas, Miss Le.
00:54:13Merry Christmas, Jeff.
00:54:22Please come in. Come in.
00:54:29Come in.
00:54:38There's just one thing missing.
00:54:50This star stood on top of every Christmas tree we had when I was growing up.
00:54:57Go ahead.
00:55:02Here you go, little man.
00:55:05Come on.
00:55:32Have a nice day.
00:55:35Thank you, Mrs. Lehay.
00:55:37This is the finest Christmas dinner I've had in many a year.
00:55:42Many a year? It's the best one I ever had.
00:55:46Well, thank you, but I couldn't have done it without Cookie.
00:55:50Well, thank you, ma'am.
00:55:54How's it time to open presents?
00:55:57Presents?
00:56:01Yes, Jeff, I think now it's time to open presents.
00:56:08All right. Let's see.
00:56:11A fan.
00:56:16Scotty.
00:56:19Henry.
00:56:23And Jeff.
00:56:25Oh, me.
00:56:27And Cookie.
00:56:31Well, go ahead. Open them up.
00:56:53Thank you, Mrs. Lehay.
00:56:57This is the best Christmas I ever had.
00:57:00Me, too.
00:57:04What is this, Scotty?
00:57:06This is the first Christmas present I ever got.
00:57:11Well, gentlemen, I know how you all feel about Bible reading,
00:57:16but it wouldn't be Christmas without it.
00:57:19So you are welcome to stay, but if you want to leave...
00:57:23I believe I'd like to stay, ma'am.
00:57:27Yeah, I'd like to stay, too.
00:57:30Me, too, ma'am.
00:57:33Gospel according to Luke.
00:57:43And so, Joseph went up from Galilee to the city of Nazareth,
00:57:49and there he saw a man,
00:57:53and he said to him,
00:57:58Joseph went up from Galilee to the city of Nazareth,
00:58:02to Judea, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who is with child.
00:58:07And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered.
00:58:11And she gave birth to her firstborn son.
00:58:14And she wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger.
00:58:18And an angel of the Lord appeared above them,
00:58:21and the glory of the Lord shone around them.
00:58:23And they were filled with fear.
00:58:25And the angel said to them,
00:58:27Be not afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy,
00:58:32which will come to all the people.
00:58:34For unto you this day is born in the city of David,
00:58:38the Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
00:58:42Amen.
00:58:44Amen.
00:58:55Amen.
00:59:21How?
00:59:24I've missed you, neighbor.
00:59:27I've missed you, too.
00:59:48Sunny! Sunny!
00:59:54Oh, now, isn't that sweet?
00:59:57There's nothing good and decent with you guys.
01:00:00Hey, Mason. Come on.
01:00:02Let's give them some privacy.
01:00:04Oh, well, that's just real nice of you, Trent.
01:00:14Oh, I really got a lot of stuff to tell you about.
01:00:18Um, it's kind of hard to know where to start.
01:00:23Two glasses of whiskey.
01:00:25Read him in a week.
01:00:27I'll go around back and get that for you.
01:00:32The deal, boys?
01:00:34As long as the old man won't pull it.
01:00:37That's my hair right there.
01:00:40Mind if I sit in?
01:00:43We're just about to leave. I'm out.
01:00:46Oh, come on, Scotty. Just a few more hands.
01:00:48I can win it all back. I feel it.
01:00:50Let's go, Finn. You're almost out of money anyway.
01:00:52Oh, Lahaye doesn't pay you.
01:00:54Well, like all cowboys, we get paid when the cattle is sold.
01:00:58No, no, no. Mr. Lahaye pay us anyway.
01:01:01He dig up a tin of dollar bills just to pay us.
01:01:05It's like a buried treasure.
01:01:07Hey, don't listen to him. He's drunk.
01:01:09Now, come on, Finn!
01:01:20It's like buried treasure.
01:01:42Oh, Henry's going to Sunday morning meeting.
01:01:45Well, maybe I should be going, too.
01:01:49You believe in the way they does makes them the way they is.
01:01:54It bides looking into sometime.
