That's when we ran. Now you see why we must leave. We can't bring that trouble to your door. Mrs. Morrison is in no condition to travel for weeks.
How far can you run with consumption? I can't let him take her. I'm not marrying Garrett. There has to be another way. There is another way.
You stay here. Tomorrow we see the territorial justice. Edgar Cole, file proper documents. Your father's will is legal. Yes.
Witnessed, filed. Then that means something here. And if Garrett comes here first, if he brings men, then he deals with me and my men. This isn't Kentucky. Forced marriage is a crime here.
Why, Jonah? Why would you do this for us? I get a reason to get out of bed. Something worth protecting. I've been dead inside three years.
You two showed up and I feel like I could try living again. That worth enough. That's good. You learn fast. You're a patient teacher.
I should check the north fence now, right? I should help mama. What's wrong? Felt like someone watching from the trees. Probably nothing.
Trust that feeling. It's kept you alive. Amos and Ben double watch tonight. Armed rotation. Thank you for believing me.
For not making me feel foolish. I always believe you, Emma. Always. Are we having dinner or just meaningful eye contact? Pass the salt.
Do you plan to remarry Mr. Callaway? A man needs a wife. A home needs a woman. Mrs.
Morrison. I Mama. Emma would give you beautiful children. Don't you think? I'm checking on August.
The horse needs checking immediately. I'm dying. We both know it. A month, maybe. When I'm gone, Emma will be alone.
I see how you look at her. How she looks at you. Don't waste time. Time runs out. My daughter needs someone.
You need someone. Don't be fools about it. Mama, we're riding to see the justice. Back in a few hours. Mrs.
Fenner will check on you. Take your time, dear. Enjoy the ride with him. Miss Morrison, your father's will is legal. The land and mine rights are yours.
Forced marriage is illegal here. But if he has money, he'll try to work around law. Be armed. Be ready. But law's on your side.
Thank you, Edgar, for standing with us. This means everything. It's what's right, Jonah. That's all. Now go on.
Keep her safe. You all right? You've been quiet since Edgar's. I don't know what happens when mama after where I go or You stay here with me forever if you want. You stay, Emma.
Please stay. Jonah, I riders. Six of them. That's Garrett's black horse. Oh god, it's him.
Ride now. Go, Emma. Go. Don't stop. Get to the house.
