Get behind me now. Emma, you've led me on quite a chase. Time to come home. This ends today. We are home, Uncle Garrett, and we're not going anywhere.

Not with you. Not ever. Sir, you've been kind to harbor my family. I appreciate that, but this is private family business. The lady said no.

That's the only answer you need. Get off my land. You're making a serious mistake. Emma has legal obligations, family obligations. My brother discovered that vein.

She can't manage a mine alone. She needs a husband. Our marriage solves everything. I'd rather put this bullet in you than marry you. I meant it in Kentucky.

I mean it more now. Garrett Morrison. William left everything to Emma. Legally, you have no claim. This is greed dressed as family.

You're dying, Catherine. She can't manage 50,000 alone. She's a woman. She needs me. She has someone right here.

She has me if she wants. And if Emma wants a husband, she'll choose him herself. She's mine. Mine. The silver is mine.

All of it is mine. Touch her again and I'll kill you. That's not a threat. That's an absolute promise. This isn't over.

I'll be back with real law. I'll take everything. I am the law, Garrett Morrison. I just witnessed attempted kidnapping and assault. Miss Morrison's inheritance is legal.

Your guardianship petition is denied permanently. Leave Montana territory. If I see you again, I'll arrest you. You'll regret this. Leave now before I change my mind.

Really? Gone. It's over. It's over. You're safe.

I've got you. I thought I lost you. Take care of my girl. She's stubborn, but she needs someone. Promise me.

I promise she won't be alone ever. Live, darling. Don't just survive. Live. Love him.

He's good. Don't waste time being careful. Mama, don't leave me alone. You're not alone anymore, baby. You have him.

That's all I needed to know you'd have someone. You and me. She planned it. I think she absolutely planned it. Told me not to waste time.

Emma, I know it's only been weeks. But your mother was right. Time runs out. I don't want to waste any. Marry me tomorrow, next week.

Whenever you're ready. Make this forever. I love you. Please say yes.

Tomorrow. Let's not wait. I've wasted enough time being afraid. Tomorrow, Jonah.

Your father would be proud. Jonah, the man you've become, the choice you made. Thank you, Edgar. That means more than you know.
